We need a seven-year period of the indemnity condition for the sake of our restoration. Three-and-a-half years for fundraising activities and three-and-a-half years for witnessing. Moreover, for the restoration of humanity, we need seven years: three-and-a-half years before the Blessing and three-and-a-half years after the Blessing. Father granted permission at Belvedere for a husband and wife to finish the seven-year period together. Accordingly, all Blessed couples have the duty to complete the three-and-a-half years.

Please do not misunderstand. Your course after the Blessing is no longer the path of restoration through indemnity. Then what is it? Your course after the blessing is "the path of the Principle."

The meaning the of the "path of the Principle" after the blessing is that rather than making leaps toward your perfection, you are to make advances toward it step by step. However, you have not fulfilled the minimum required indemnity condition, after your Blessing you must continue to set the indemnity condition.

Already many members have been walking an incorrect path and at times they have a superficial and faulty understanding of the direction that Father is heading towards.

If you have failed to set the indemnity condition that is required by the formula course, then you have to understand that your debt is not liquidated yet. However, at the present moment when we are following Father, who has successfully completed the 21-year course, the merit of the age is enormous. Father has performed the mind-boggling 10,000-couple blessing ceremony, and he did not require strictly the conditions of three spiritual children, three-and- a-half years of fundraising, or three years of the life of faith. The reason is that he wanted to share with you the merit of his victory. However, most of you owe this debt to him.
