1. The Purpose of the sabbath

Until now, the established churches have kept the sabbath sacred. Everyone has done this, and from now on, the Unification Church must also keep this day sacred as the sabbath.

Where should the sabbath be kept as sacred? Ultimately, it must be kept by the people of any country God has chosen. Until now, the Christian act of keeping the sabbath has been for the sake of our personal sublimation; in other words, in order to keep us focused absolutely on the purpose of our salvation. Although the sabbath, of course, exists in order to speed up our own individual salvation, all people must be saved, and it serves the purpose of restoring God's providence and nation. More importantly, on a higher dimension, we know God's desire.
