You have to understand how difficult a task lies behind the concept, the Day of Victory of Heaven. What is the essential factor, the origin, based on which God and the spirit world can be triumphant? True love. Without the love of God it cannot be done. Where there is the love of God, the world of Satan's love must retreat. What is not centered on God's love will be dominated by Satan, and where the love of God serves as the foundation God will have the dominion. The fact that Satan is giving the love shows that Satan is dominating already. The question is how to take everything back, how to restore it. You have to understand that because the standard that can make the links based on love has been shattered, the question of how to teach this, how to deal with it is a grave problem for God. Do you understand? (135-123)

In our Unification Church, we celebrate many days that are not known to the world. Among them, one is the Day of Victory of Heaven. So, where is the origin of the concept, "God won the victory. It is the day to celebrate the victory of Heaven"? If this universe had an absolute beginning from God, then all affairs should take place on the victorious foundation. Moreover, all the things that have come into being should belong to the one center that all things can praise and be harmonized with. This is a conclusion based on common sense.

Then, what is the origin of the word "The Day of Victory of Heaven"? This came to exist because of the Fall. You can see it as a present given by the Fall. Within the words "Heaven won the victory", there must be the realms of individual, family, tribe, people, nation, and world victory, and furthermore the spirit-world and cosmic realms of victory must be formed. No matter how triumphant an individual is, unless the family realm of victory is established, there is no place for the individual realm of victory to settle down.

An individual must stand on the foundation of a family. On top of a family, an individual can stand. No matter how firm the family realm of victory is, that realm of victory will emerge as the center only on the foundation of a tribe. The tribe on top of the people, the people on top of the nation, and on top of heaven and earth, God is to dwell. This is how I see it. (148-9)

What kind of day is the Day of Victory of Heaven? You have to understand that the Day of Victory of Heaven could be found because in history finally a day when the original plus and original minus can completely dwell in the realm of God's love has been established on the earth. Do you understand what this means? You should realize that the period of special blessing when you can enter the same place as the one I occupy based on my triumph after a life-long battle is the three-year course. What I intend for you is that by concentrating in one place the fighting efforts that had been dispersed all over the world, you can lay the foundation. (129-36)

What the Day of Victory of Heaven brought to us is that, in contrast to how God and the angelic world were involved mainly in the spiritual affairs and undertook the affairs on the earth indirectly, the spirit world has begun to do things directly centering on the earth, and is conducting the spiritual affairs indirectly. You should know that this is one result that the Day of Victory of Heaven has brought. Do you understand? [Yes]

What is the present that the Day of Victory of Heaven has brought us? [Home church] Home church. What kind of background has home church come to possess? God and the direction that God has been working until now have switched from the spirit world to the physical world. In other words, a new era has dawned upon us. Accordingly, a new age has begun. Do you understand? You must understand clearly. (105-143)

Today, while reflecting on that day when God felt joy centering on the Day of Victory of Love, I am grateful for the fact that from now proclaiming this day with the world separated to God's side, the foundation of victory on which we can march toward the Kingdom of Heaven is expanded. I hope that the glory and joy of each day can perpetuate the life in which we can sing and dance in the midst of parents' love so that the domain of brotherhood can take shape to reach all humankind, and that you can reside in the position of parents, able to govern over the people, to receive glory and honor. (148-60)

Now, should we move forward centering on this new dispensation? [Yes] You have to become those who say, "I will become someone who will not be ashamed of the Day of Victory of Heaven." Now, those who are determined to do so, raise your hand. Please put it down. Next, in response to the change of the direction of God's work which has shifted from the spirit world to the physical world, we should work harder than spirits and God. You should have the mind-set that you will become responsible leaders of heaven and earth who will not become shameful in undertaking these tasks. (105-145)
