2) The Seven-Year Course of True Father

That is why Father has been doing the work. In the seven-year course on the way of the course of restoration through indemnity on the worldwide level centering on Father's family, there should not be any accusation by Satan when Father receives the Blessing with Mother. There should not be any accusation since the day when Mother was welcomed. Originally, if Adam and Eve had not fallen and had stood in the position of the Blessing, then there would have been no sphere of the Fall and there would have no been no fallen Satan.

However, in 1960 when Father had the Holy Wedding, what had been done on the national level for fourteen years? You don't know this but I had to establish a standard tradition in order to start from the course where Adam and Eve had not fallen. By the standard tradition I mean the standard of subjugating Satan. How to establish the standard, that was the issue. It was necessary to indemnify the standard prepared on the national level centering upon Jesus at the time of Jesus. Unless I was able to indemnify that, there would have been no position of the Blessing.

Fourteen years after the Liberation, in April 1960, I had the Holy Wedding; but at that time in Korea all levels-individual, family, tribe, people and nation-still opposed me. It was just as in the days of Jesus when twelve disciples opposed him. Likewise, even those who had once followed the Unification Church opposed me. Out of those who were closest to me, more than twelve persons opposed me and opposed the Unification Church. To meet that opposition I had to follow the path of indemnity. Not one of you knows these things. I had to report to the court even on the day before the Holy Wedding. Under those circumstances, I had the Holy Wedding. It was indeed a fight. In those fierce battles I was building the foundation you see today.

Satan opposed in every way, targeting me. No matter what kind of conditions I laid individually, still Satan said he would absolutely never allow me to go the way of the Will. For that reason, even behind your fathers and mothers who had believed in the Unification Church, Satan opposed in every way. To tell you the circumstances in those days, one's mother or father or children or husband or wife were not the problem. They all stood on the satanic side. As a result your fathers and mothers were required to betray their own families and tribes. They betrayed their own tribes; they betrayed their own families.

As a result of the Fall, the wife was betrayed and True children were betrayed and True Parents were betrayed. Therefore in a family, members had to go that kind of way. In the Bible Jesus says, "You must love me more than anyone else." Why was it necessary to do that? It was not for the sake of money or for the sake of ownership in society; it was necessary in order to establish the standard that they loved God more than anything else.

They had to stand in the position where they loved God even more than their own parents. No matter how much they had loved their parents till then, still that love was within the satanic realm. They were not in a position to love their parents transcending the satanic domain nor love a spouse beyond that realm, nor was there any way of loving children beyond the satanic realm.

For that reason the desire of religions has been to search for a spouse prior to the search for parents. That is the process of restoration. Therefore Jesus, who came as the second Adam, had to search for his bride, meet his bride and seek the position of the Original Parents. Prior to Jesus there were no Parents. Even though Mary gave birth to Jesus, and Joseph was there as his father, still they were parents who needed a certain condition of indemnity for establishing a transition. It was impossible for God to have the substantial parents representing Adam and Eve on the original standard.

Therefore, in front of Jesus, Father looked for the position of bridegroom and bride, and by so doing Father and Mother were able to attain the position of Parents for the first time. In order to reach the position of Parents, bridegroom and bride had to be sought first. Otherwise it would be impossible to find the position of Parents, and if the position of Parents were not found, then it would be impossible to find the position of children. Therefore, restoration through indemnity has to be based upon love as the standard. (April 8, 1986)

Even though Father was able to stand in the position of Parent in 1960, it was still necessary to do restoration through indemnity. To stand in the position of Parents means to go then through the seven-year course of completion. Then, what should be done during this seven-year course? I had to establish Parents Day, Children's Day and Day of All Things. During the seven-year course Mother also had to attain that position.

Centering upon this seven-year course, I established a foundation up to the national level by fighting Satan. And by surpassing the standard of fourteen years (two times seven years), I consummated vertically the completion level of the growth stage which Adam, the original subject, should have established. Although I did that, in Mother's case it was not yet the same. I had to put Mother on the horizontal position and through a course of seven years Mother and I together had to go over the realm of accusation by Satan. Do you understand what I mean? Mother also had to go through the seven-year course.

In 1960 we had the Holy Wedding, and in 1968 I declared God's Day. Since I established God's Day, Parents' Day, Children's Day and Day of All Things as the heartistic center, it became possible for my family to be able to communicate with God. God and Father were able to communicate with each other, next parents and children were able to communicate with each other, and then it was possible to communicate with all things. As a result, conditional territory was opened. Still it was not total environment, but conditional environment. It was limited to the national level, not the world level. In order to achieve the world-level foundation, I had to go through the world-level standard of indemnity after 1968, after I achieved the victory in Korea. (April 8, 1986)
