400 years after the time of Noah, Abraham offered three sacrificial objects to God, and although he successfully split a cow and a sheep into two pieces, he failed to do so with a dove. The act of cutting them in half is to sanctify. Since the dove was also to be sanctified, because of Abraham's failure, his entire offering ended up as a failure. As a result, you should remember that the term "impurity" is following you. (8-320) Offerings are first to be divided into two on the altar and then offered. An altar signifies a sanctified area, and the object placed on it symbolizes a sanctified object. Bleeding through the cutting signifies the formation of an indemnity condition for restoration, that is, sanctifying--removing Satan's blood, or totally eradicating the conditions that Satan can have dominion over. This is why, in the Old Testament Age an offering was made through sanctified objects or material. Therefore, animals and other objects should be sanctified both internally in heart and externally before being offered to God. When you visit some place, can you use holy salt and sit down? What can you do? You should establish through blowing three times, "whu, whu, whu." When you see a handsome man in Satan's world, rather than thinking, "I would like to live with this man," or even if he holds your hand, you should be able to blow him away from you. That is, you should holy-salt him inwardly by blowing to him. You holy-salt him three times. (laughter). (170-283) In the future, our church members should sanctify all of their possessions with holy salt. In many cases, using holy salt is no problem, but what shall we do when eating rice or noodles, drinking water, etc.? What we should do is what Jesus, after his resurrection, asked his disciples to do: through blowing, they could receive the Holy Spirit. It is the same as what God did to blow life into the nostrils of Adam. You should do it if you have children as living beings. In the future, when eating or drinking, you should first blow. Koreans' customs are amazing. When they drink water, they first blow on it, and before they sit, they first blow on the spot. In general, that is what they do, right? God must have moved the conscience of this people so that this could be one of their customs. That did not take place by coincidence. That is why we should always sanctify our life even in our hearts. In order to sanctify a long history of 6,000 years that has been defiled as it proceeded in three stages of restoration--formation, growth, and completion--you should blow three times before you eat. Further, wherever you go, even when you go to a bathroom, you should do the same. In the future, the house that is sanctified with holy salt should be marked. The land that is sanctified with holy salt should be also marked. By doing so, all the land of the earth where we are living and walking on should eventually be sanctified. We should live in such a place. We should make our environment that way. In principle, we should burn everything, including the land. That is the meaning of the Bible verse that judgment is done through fire. Israelites used to let defiled objects pass through fire before making an offering. The Old Testament talks about this. Isn't that right? However, since we cannot do that, we should establish a heavenly condition through sanctifying them with holy salt. Are you doing it? [Yes.] Whatever you do, regardless of the season, or whenever you are making an offering to God or True Parents, whether standing in the position of Abel or Cain, you should always have a companion of faith. Because you want to make that offering to the worldwide Parents. You should find such a companion, even if you should search throughout the entire heaven and earth. (150-303) At what position can you save a people? Will it be at the high position of authority? Since death occurred at the place of the Fall, you cannot save someone at the place where you are falling down yourself. The Unification Church is leading a movement of "going down." What it should proclaim is: "Let us go down. Let us avoid a position to eat well. Let us avoid a position to be clothed well. The place that I like is not that Satan would like. Let us go to a place distant from him, where I would not be trapped by him." Ladies and gentlemen, we sanctify things that we use in daily life whether they are to eat or to wear. In our country, where are the children who do not need to sanctify their food harvested from this land? Where is the realm free from Satan's dominion? Where is the land where they can live without needing to sanctify it first? Whenever you use holy salt, you should grind your teeth against Satan. When the Korean peninsula can be embraced in the bosom of God, when on behalf of the Lord at the Second Advent, this population of 30 million becomes a people who can represent all nations of the world and be wholly offered to God, the land of this people will become the fatherland of the world.
