February 1, 1985, 3 o'clock, Danbury

Today is February 1. It is the day that I have declared the Day of the Opening of the Door of Heaven. What is the meaning of the opening of the door of Heaven? As it says literally, it means the day that the door of Heaven is opened.

Last year on this date, I in Danbury and Mother in East Garden finally opened the door through which heaven and earth can be connected. So the good ancestors of the heavenly world are to come to their descendants on the earth by passing through hell. Only those who overcome hell can go to Heaven. (1986.2.1)

What I did after I entered Danbury is that on February 1, 1985, I opened the door to the pathway between the spirit world and the physical world which had been previously blocked off. I in Danbury and Mother in East Garden, offered a special prayer. Since it was the fallen parents who had closed the door, opening this door is the mission of the parents who can bring restoration. It had to be opened. So we opened it up. Because we have opened up the door, even if evil ancestors are in hell, now a way has opened up for the good descendants to go there to witness to their ancestors in their lineage.

In the past, there were many efforts to reach the tribal spheres in which someone such as Abraham could conduct the providence for restoration centering on religion, or where True Parents can be born, where True Parents could come and carry on the providence for restoration. \When you take that perspective, the lineage starting from Adam and passing through Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and reach to the era of Jesus is the genealogy that can make the link from Heaven to the earth. There is only the one lineage that corresponds to this. All the rest have no relationship with it whatsoever. Only after this is realized, can True Parents come to dismantle all the things that block the path. Without the appearance of True Parents, there is no way to bring good ancestors down. (114-262)

\On February 1, at three in the afternoon, in the prison together with Mother I had the final meeting in which the highway was laid between hell and Heaven. Although the highway is laid, preparations must be made. There have to be cars, and we must learn how to drive, and you need to have gas. These things cannot be found within yourselves. Your ancestors are to bring them along. Do you understand? Your ancestors have brought the car, put in the gasoline, and taught you to start the movement of pulling you up to the spirit world. Do you believe these words? If you don't want to believe then, don't. It is the hard reality. You should go and see for yourself.

Recently spiritually-open persons revealed, "Wow! All the flags in the heavenly kingdom have gathered in one place, and deciding on one direction, they have started to move. From February of this year the door to hell and the door to Heaven have been opened up." But they do not understand who has caused this to happen. Heaven and earth became like this when I made the proclamation, "The resurrection of the new era: the present era has passed behind us and the new era has come, and the period of persecution for the Unification Church has passed and the time has come for the liberating sound of the trumpet to reverberate everywhere."
