1) The Meaning of the Holy Grounds

Today, what is the Unification Church trying to do? It is trying to fulfill what Jesus desired to fulfill on earth in his lifetime. Then, what is that Jesus wanted to do on earth? Concerning Israel, Jesus desired to restore the Israelites in the position of Cain with Judaism in the position of Abel. Today, the Unification Church is in the position of Judaism, and the Korean people, in the position of the Israelites.

What Jesus attempted to do was to bring the perfection of an individual, a family, a tribe, and a people, that is, to establish the standard of an individual, a family, a tribe, and a people that God sought for.

That is the reason why Father gave one of the 120 holy grounds to each of the 124 Blessed Couples, who were sent to various places. He asked them to fulfill their mission through cultivating their relationship to their designated holy ground.

Then, fulfillment of their individual mission becomes the standard, and centered on the whole of world history will come the age of victory for it to be connected to the world. That is the reason why Father selected the original 7 holy grounds, including the four holy grounds in the directions of north, south, east and west, the central holy ground, and headquarters holy ground, etc.

As such an age of victory is coming, Father brought some dirt and stones from the seven holy grounds on 12/31/1964 and 1/1/1965 and made preparations to leave for foreign countries with them.

What are the dirt and stones? Due to the fall of Adam, God lost both Adam and the universe to Satan. However, since God can now visit us through our foundation of victory, we have entered an era in which we can restore land. Therefore, the dirt and stones in the holy grounds become the foundation that God can dwell in. That is the reason why holy grounds could be claimed. This you must understand.

Then, what happens when God, humans, and the holy ground are united as one? The standard of Adam and Eve restored prior to the Fall will be erected. Selecting holy grounds is to determine a focal point for relating to God, by finding people, having land, and being able to restore humans, land and all things that were lost in the Garden of Eden.
