You must win over this world in all things. You have to stand in the upper position in this world. You must not be buried in this world. Since you have to go up to the top, you have to go the way of suffering, such a suffering that the people of this world cannot even follow. But the Unification Church goes that way. God also goes that way. Since we are going to stand at the top, the satanic world resists us. Therefore, in order to subjugate those in the higher positions, we have to take the opposite course and go down.

Are you confident enough to fight and go up to the top? In order to do that it is necessary to go down in the reverse way. Those who oppose will perish, and you will prosper. This is the secret process of the providence.

This was the case for me. I have been fighting for forty years, even all through my life. Since I go the way of suffering in order to go up to the top, our history became a miserable process. We have been fighting, even eating dog's food. Father does not talk so much about the miserable situation of the prisons, but there is a very miserable history behind. But you have to know that that miserable history becomes a signboard that gives light to the history of later generations, just like a lighthouse.

You have to stand at the top of this world and win the victory. Mother is here, but she does not know anything about this. My son is also here, but he does not know anything either. You have to teach them. Do you know how sacred this is?

Speaking of the process of suffering, for what purpose is it? To stand at the top of this world. You have to achieve victory over this world. You must lead the people of this world. You have to stand above Satan, but this satanic world does not allow that; therefore, God could not help going the reverse way. For that reason we have to go through the path of persecution and suffering. We have to make sure that Satan cannot follow us, that Satan cannot have a relationship with us. In this way we have to reverse everything.

In order to be able to lead at the top position, we have to fight and achieve victory. In order to do that at the risk of our lives and achieve victory, God established religions and made them go through the way of persecution. Therefore you must not forget that Father's whole life has been the way of persecution.

All that I have said to you so far has been the goal of the history of my struggle. I have been living all through my life in that way. Do you understand? I did not want to have an environment in which I was welcomed. If one achieves victory, one should necessarily be praised; but I instead avoided being praised. Why? Because the Israelites declined and perished by being influenced and absorbed by the environment. Therefore, even if the Unification Church comes to be accepted and welcomed worldwide, still I will not go to that place of welcome. I would rather go the reverse way.

We have to establish God's authority in this way. Soon there will be no one who opposes the Unification family. Therefore I have to drive you, the second generation children, from now on; but you have to know you are yet not qualified to go there. You have to have the determination that you will discard everything and go directly toward the goal instructed by Heaven. (April 12, 1986)
