How wonderful it may be if you say, "I want to serve God and live for tens of thousands of years with Him." There is a song in a Korean folk tale which reads:

The moon! The moon! The bright moon!

The moon where Li-Po once played! There! There!

In the midst of the moon a katsura tree was stabbed, so I thrust

into it with an ax studded with jewels in order to pull it out.

I cut it up with a golden ax to build a thatched house with three

rooms in order to welcome our parents.

By the way, where can you find real parents? If they are self-centered greedy parents, they are destined to be forgotten. Where can you find the real parents who can show clearly the principle of heaven and earth and erect heavenly tradition? I have offered my entire life to build before I die a world such as described in the song of the folk tale. (127-282)

Today, many religious leaders prostrate themselves and pray so as to receive blessings. I, however, never prayed for the purpose of receiving blessings. I am an offering. The providence in the Old Testament Age was for people to reach toward God through sacrificing things. In the New Testament Age it was to seek good parents through sacrificing sons and daughters. In the Completed Testament Age it has been to liberate God through sacrificing True Parents' family. We are to welcome our original parents on earth and live for tens of thousands of years with them.

The moon! The moon! The bright moon!

The moon where Li-Po once played.

In the midst of the moon a katsura tree was stabbed.

Just as sung in the Korean folk tale, we want to welcome our parents to live together with them for tens of thousands of years. This is a prophetic story for the Korean people. We want to live with heavenly parents for tens of thousands of years. Whenever I think about this song, I cannot help having a pain in my heart. (137-185)

You shouldn't feel sad to have been born as a Korean. You might have had such feelings in the past, saying, "Koreans are so poor that no matter how much they are proud of having 5,000 years history, it is inevitable for them to be born in a thatched house with only three rooms."

The moon! The moon! The bright moon!

The moon where Li-Po once played!

There! There! In the midst of the moon...

to build a thatched house with three rooms

in order to welcome our parents.

This song says to build a thatched house with three rooms and live there for tens of thousands of years. (laugh) I don't feel very good whenever I hear such a folk tale. Is the real wish of the Korean people to build a thatched house with three rooms?

"...to build a thatched house with three rooms in order to

welcome our parents and live for tens of thousands of years."

The parents in this song can be the ideal parents for all mankind. This has something to do with the idea in Christianity of the Second Coming of Christ. Also, this is related to other ideas of Saviors believed in many nations throughout the world. Do you follow me? (Yes) There would be no end in this type of talk. Shall I stop here? (No! More!) (85-81)

You should not complain about the appearances of their eyes and faces. No matter how ugly they may be, you should say, "I would like to live with them for tens of thousands of years." The wishes of the Korean people are clearly expressed in the song:

The moon! The moon! The bright moon!

The moon where Li-Po once played!

There! There! In the midst of the moon

a katsura tree was stabbed,

so I thrust into it with an ax studded

with jewels in order to pull it out.

I cut it up with a golden ax to build a thatched house

with three rooms in order to welcome our parents

to live with them for tens of thousands of years.

Thus, Koreans have an idea of true parents. The love, with which we want to live for tens of thousands of years, comes from true parents. Do you follow me? We have to welcome our parents. (126-192)

Since the True Parents represent all men and women who are the champions of God, you, who are sons and daughters of the True Parents, have at least as much authority as does the True Parents' shadow. You are not supposed to join the Unification Church unless you are going to discard greediness and other various habits you learned in the satanic world. We are different from the established churches. In the Unification Church you should gain the total victory by shooting the arrows of love. You are standing on the altar of love. Do you follow me? (Yes) It is not true that God will judge you in the middle of the air after you go to the Kingdom of God. God has been judging you on a daily basis here on earth. Since you have served God and shared joys and sorrows with Him and the True Parents, you have been able to survive here in this age of ups and downs and various hardships. You have survived. Is God able to die?

I have returned to my country after accomplishing my mission on the worldwide level. We have to unify our country, which has been divided into two. At the same time that you build a unified nation, you must also build your own country, people, tribe and family.

Men of wisdom must apply themselves (writing on the blackboard) and overcome all tribulations. Do you follow me? It is easy for the Unification Church members to do so now that the True Parents have fulfilled all their missions of indemnity. Once you know God, True Parents, true wives and husbands, and true sons and daughters, all your struggles will be over.

You must overcome all struggles in order to find true sons and daughters, and true wives and husbands. Upon the foundation of your loving and liberating your brothers and sisters on the satanic side-12 apostles and 120 disciples-you will be able to love your own sons and daughters for tens of thousands of years to come.

The prayer given to the Korean people in order to inherit the right of chosen people, and to sing and praise God forever is:

The moon! The moon! The bright moon!

The moon where Li-Po once played!

There! There! In the midst of the moon

a katsura tree was stabbed, so I thrust into it

with an ax studded with jewels in order to pull it out.

I cut it up with a golden ax to build a thatched house

with three rooms in order to welcome our parents

to live with them for tens of thousands of years.

What are you going to do after welcoming your parents? You are going to live with them for tens of thousands of years. Where will you live? You will live in a thatched house with three rooms. Where will your thatched house be? You must start from the lowest level. You cannot find the parents of your king until you are able to first welcome your own parents to a thatched house with only three rooms. After welcoming your parents to your thatched house, you should start to mobilize your tribe and then people, from which your kingship will be born. You must also look for your own nation.

I have already set up the victorious foundation on the national and worldwide levels, and have been standing in a vertical position. I am not able to move horizontally. Since I'm standing in a vertical position, all the levels from that of the individual to that of family, clan, tribe, nation, world and cosmos are wholly one in a vertical position centered on God. (212-53)

What is the common ground of God's love and human love? God created humankind for the sake of love. Why was that? It was because He was lonely by Himself. He created humans in order to live with them for tens of thousands of years centered on love.

You want to welcome your parents even to your thatched house with only three rooms and live with them for tens of thousands of years, don't you? This is true for God. Even in a smaller place than a thatched house with only three rooms, we can reign over the entire world with God. Is that place truly small? With God in it, that place could be the palace in Heaven and in the entire cosmos. (204-106)
