Today because the nation and world in which we are living are to take the form of the restored Garden of Eden, the world must become the world of peace, the world without sin, the world where Heaven can be happy. But because it could not become that, you must think as follows, "Oh, when I see Satan flourishing in the world which I should possess, I should not forget that I should have a nation and be proud of it, I should have a nation and be proud about it..."

Have you ever been proud of your nation? Satan brags about his nation. When we confront Satan we are in the position of having only a family. In front of Satan who has nations, from our position of shame we cannot wield authority; therefore, you should know that in front of Satan we are always driven to the wall. In order to relieve the sorrow of the Lord of Heaven, we must become a people who have a nation.

On the settled foundation of having registered your family with dignity in the heavenly nation, you need an environment where your sons and daughters will be assigned the authority of the nation, and where the way of loving loyalty to the heavenly nation can be distinguished under the protection of heaven. Only then can you as an original person for the time find the way to go and by realizing the family foundation be grafted onto the restored position. You who are the Cain people of today must know this. "Well, I've got to educate my son, and then my wife..." You say that, and of course you must think about the economic restoration as well. But the family must cooperate and take responsibility for the nation.

To save the nation the people must sacrifice. To save the nation, the tribe must also sacrifice; to save the nation, the family must sacrifice. When we look at it from that position, in order to find that nation, the Unification Church itself normally carries out activities based on that principle. Do you understand? Because of that it will not be ruined. Knowing clearly that we stand in that position, from this time on you must go forward centered on that one determination. (58-198)

Then do our Unification Church believers have a Unification Church nation? Do they or don't they? Do we have the Unification Church or not? We have the church, don't we? When this church group seeks to lose its life what happens? It will find it, and when it finds it life it will die. Christians, are you seeking to lose your lives or to find your lives? In the Last Days that will be the comparison. The religious group which sought to sacrifice itself for the nation will live together with the nation; the religious groups which caused loss to the nation will be ruined together with the nation. This is a historical, absolute rule. Then today, we must proudly realize that we are the group which is going forth with this as our standard. Do you understand? [Yes.] (55-221)
