You should know that the Unification Church has a historic mission. You have studied the Divine Principle, haven't you? [Yes.] However, the Principle only includes the signs. You don't know the background behind everything, do you? When you eat you say, "Today, we have a lot of good food," and you just eat it; but you don't know whether in order to make that food the person who made it had to fight or what happened. You just pick up things and eat them because they taste good. For the person who is eating that's understandable, but for the person who made the food, it's not enough. We don't know how the food was made; whether the rice was stolen; where was it brought from; what kind of people the workers were. The person who made the food could be an enemy of your spouse; he could be from an evil group. People with relationships like that could be the ones who made the things brought in to make the meal with. If we knew all those things we wouldn't be able to eat. Because God knows all that, we have to separate out those things. Since God is all-knowing and all-powerful, He knows all those things. Therefore those who are seeking Heaven in Satan's world without knowing those things and without cleaning and putting things in order and without purifying them--those people cannot go to heaven. (138-183) The era of the Second Coming is on a global level. It is not on a national level, but a global level. Therefore our members of all five races, even in Africa, South America, and Asia are told to do fundraising. Everyone is told to go out. Everyone is told to sacrifice. Go out and be insulted. Therefore the Unification Church is for resurrection in the Old Testament Age, resurrection in the New Testament Age, and resurrection in the Completed Testament Age. Do you understand what is being said? So you must become the substantial beings. You must not fail at that. Everything historical which was invaded in the three ages must be indemnified. Does that follow the theory or not? Is it right? [Yes.] You should know that it is here that the theoretical evidence of Satan's world passing away and the heavenly world's being born is clarified. That is the mission of Unification Church. You should know that this is the work which is being done centered on Rev. Moon. Unification Church members are not to have their own possessions. I do not have my own possessions, either. (119-196) The Unification Church is going out, saying, "Let's seek a world one level higher than the established churches." If the established churches show a flat nature, then the Unification Church shows a three-dimensional nature. Then which is greater? If I say this, maybe you will say I am praising myself, but which is greater? Between the Unification Church and the established churches, which is greater? The Unification Church is greater. Cosmosism is greater. The Unification Church is saying, "Let's live together with the cosmos." Therefore our Unification Church must complete the missions of three eras. We are saying let's liberate the souls who have gone to spirit world; let's liberate the people living in this evil world; and from this point forward let's liberate the people to come of the future generations. This is how we present the liberation realm of three eras. This is an enormous, awesome occurrence. What would happen if this dream-like content became real? Our eyes would open wide; our jaw would drop; our ears would perk up; and our head would bow down for sure. I have not yet seen a person who was running somewhere rapidly, do it with his back stiff and straight. Everyone bends over to run. Now, the Unification Church is not going off sightseeing somewhere. We are running quickly. Because we are always running, people say they like the doctrine and the sermons, but not the method we are using. To follow on that road their legs would rip apart. But why is that wrong? Because it's different from the present reality. But we have to use a world-sized step. If we live like this, we will not be ruined. If we lived like this and were ruined, that would mean that God doesn't exist. Why is that? Because I am living together with the world. This is really marvelous. (28-201)
