1. THE POSITION OF A TRIBAL MESSIAH

What is a tribal messiah? He is the master of true love. To be a master of true love was the hope of Jesus, the hope of Adam and Eve, and the hope of God. Thus everybody has to become a master of true love and march on. If that happens, everything will be finished. Telling you to become a tribal messiah means telling you to become a tribal ancestor. (1989.1.3. Hannam-dong House)

In fact, to be a tribal messiah is the greatest assignment. You feel like saying, "Hey! This is the best thing in the world. You could not buy it with billions of dollars. Hey! I finally realize it is the best thing in the world. There is nothing better. Nothing." How valuable did you think it was? If you retreat, how much would it be? You must know that it has a value that outshines the President of America or Queen of England. It has a value that outshines even Jesus.

You must understand that the tribal messiah is the vanguard who guides his tribe to their historical hometown in one generation. You must know that you are the vanguard, just as Moses was in the exodus. It is not blind devotion. Moses did not know some things, but I know everything concretely. I know everything logically. You must return to your hometown, but you cannot return to your hometown without finding Cain; that is a principled fact. Since the elder brother's tribe remains in the satanic world, you must save the elder brother so that his tribe can come to my tribe. If that is not done, you cannot do the work of tribal messiah, because of Satan. By saving him, he becomes your fence, and you can return to your hometown and restore your relatives. If you do not do that, even if you witness to your father and mother, Satan will claim them again. They will be pulled away. Since there is that danger, God has to work this kind of providence. Even if you witnessed to your father, mother, your relatives and hometown, they will be pulled away again. (1979.1.14. Belvedere)

What is a tribal messiah? In one word, it is doing the work of raising your mother and father to the position of kingship. \It means that we can then recover the hometown of the heavenly kingdom where parents are centering on love; this is the original hometown where people should be born.

If this is not done, there is no hometown. Where there is no hometown, there cannot be parents. By establishing this hometown, the hometowns of all the people who lived in Korea will be gathered in the place of the hometown of the heavenly kingdom. \In this way all places that man was born on earth will belong to the heavenly kingdom, and the position of a parent born in an unfallen place will be inherited.

Then what is the problem? A tribal messiah first puts his father and mother in the position of messiah, with the same rank. After that, since there is no heavenly hometown, he has to find it. In this way the global hometown and cosmic hometown are connected, since the True Parents already prepared the grounds, and heaven and earth become the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven.

What, again, is a tribal messiah? First, it is making your father and mother into unfallen Adam and Eve. Second, by finding and establishing your hometown, the restoration of kingship occurs. If that happens, everything is finished, right? You just put kingship in there. First, you stand on the same level as parents, then restore your hometown. That means restoring kingship.

Thus all people who are born, whether in the former Soviet Union, America or anywhere, will come to have the hometown of the Kingdom of Heaven. In order for them to have the hometown of the heavenly kingdom, they must have parents in the heavenly kingdom. Becoming the parents of the heavenly kingdom is the mission of tribal messiah.

In this way, Satan also cannot reside on earth. Until now Satan has had custody of all the areas of the earth. Your becoming parents creates a region where a family of unity is born, and we can conclude that Satan from the start could not exist in that place. (1989.10.17. Hannam-dong House)
