1) The Mission of World Salvation

What would be God's Will? Of course saving one individual would also be God's Will, but it is saving the world that is God's Will. Furthermore, when an individual is saved and stands before God, God needs an individual who says he would like to believe in Heaven and be saved for the sake of the world. God wants representatives of the families, but He would like to establish representatives of the families in order to save the world. He wants to establish representatives of the people, but it is not for just one people; He wants to establish representatives who can lead all the peoples of the world. He wants to establish representatives of the nation, but wouldn't He want national representatives who say they will fulfill the mission of saving all the nations of the world?

Today when we look at things from the position of working for that kind of will of God, we see that we must be saved individually, but we must be saved in order to save the world, and we must be saved as a family but in order to save the world, and we must be saved as tribes, as peoples and as nations, but we must be saved in order to save the world. It will not do if we are not that kind of individual and family. (69-100)

What is the Unification Church saying we should do? It's saying we should make the world into one. Is it saying we should make it into one and then be ruined? Then that's an evil group. It's saying we should make the world into one and then attain a good world, the world of goodness. Therefore when we look at it logically as well, the Unification Church appeared as an inevitable religion. If not the Unification Church, a church which is idealistic and correct had logically to appear. If we say such a church can come into existence, if that is evidence, then it is true without a doubt that God exists. Don't you think so? Then considering that God exists, if God's love is revealed everything is resolved. Then, how can the evidence of godly love, the love of God, be actualized? You must realize that this is the destined task of the Unification Church. (94-283)

If the Lord comes he does not come to save one nation. He doesn't come to save one nation, he comes to save the world. When that time comes close, because it is the Last Days unless we go beyond the nation and discover the world which we can love more, unless we go beyond the nation and value the people of Heaven more, unless we go beyond the nation and carry out a movement which can love God, the world will be destroyed. We should know that this is the way of thought and this is the way of unification which the world's people, can hope for in the future.

Here the color of one's skin is not a problem. Here the cultural background is not a problem. Our hope and our goal is only becoming one for the sake of the world which is for God's Will and God's love and that through the world becoming one, the ideal world which God and humankind are hoping for will come about. This is how I see it. Accordingly I know that it is the mission of the Unification Church to teach the way to go as an individual, the way to go as a family, the way to go as a tribe, the way to go as a people, the way to go as a nation, and the way to go as the world. (53-24)

Our Unification Church is a religion for saving the world. The Unification Church has put forth the thought and tradition that the world must be saved even if it means sacrificing Christianity and America. The tradition that I am talking about and teaching in the Unification Church is not Rev. Moon's tradition. Everything is God's tradition. Now you have received Rev. Moon's thought; you must inevitably go and connect to Rev. Moon's and God's tradition. This is destiny, destiny. (130-240)

Our Unification Church is now suffering. Because of whom are we suffering? Is it because of "I"? [No.] It's because of the world. The purpose is different. We are not saying we will be saved; we are saying we will save the world and die. Now, the work we are doing is the same work that the spirits in spirit world are doing. What are the spirits in spirit world doing? They are trying to save the world. Matching that, the group that is trying to do that work is the Unification Church. It is the responsibility of the Unification Church to contract what was paid for in this way for several thousands of years to some tens of years, and then raise it up. (72-162)

God's purpose is to save the world even if one nation has to be sacrificed. In the end, if we stick to the idea of the nation and are faced with the traditional concept of the nation we cannot find the world. Therefore in order for us to find the nation, we must go beyond the idea of the nation. Even if they all said they would come into God's Will, without being centered on this kind of thought, but centered on one's own people, centered on one's own tribe, centered on one's own nation, they would all begin to fight again.

Long ago the peoples who fought had bad feelings and called each other names. The Will cannot be realized in that way. If the world becomes one in front of the Will, Germany will be saved and England will be saved; all will be saved. If that doesn't happen and each one puts his nation first, all will be broken. Our goal is to go beyond the idea of nation and plant the conviction that we have to live loving the world. (54-162)

The Unification Church is carrying a world-level mission. It is in a position to connect to that ultimate blessing which must be given to humankind. This is an awesome blessing. At this point, do your duty and fulfill your responsibility completely. Go over all the various world-level ups and downs of life which you run into through your environment and the many courses of history. You should know that this amazing truth that you have met today, this blessing, is more amazing and more awesome than if you owned a whole country, or than if you captured and ruled the world, or even than having heaven and earth.
