5. Fondness of the Body for Hell

Adam and Eve were supposed to be God's body, as it says in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 3, that one's body should be God's temple, so that the body is similar to a house where God can dwell. However, that house is not like the bodies of today's fallen people. That house is not like the bodies of people who want to be saved simply by believing in Jesus. That house is not like the bodies of people who are just repairing what was broken. Adam and Eve would have grown up as the ideal creative humans, and would have experienced pure, first love in their adolescence. But they failed, and came to be far away from the realm of God's love.

What is hell? It refers to the realm of Satan's love. Satan adores only hatred, jealousy, separation, and destruction. Thus, the realm of Satan is filled with only these things. These characteristics of Satan are expressed in war.

What made God's heart painful? Because Satan came to exist. The fact that Satan's blood lineage was born through love made God's heart painful. The fact that Satan's seed was planted made God's heart grievous. The fact that God saw Satan's family gave God the heart of suffering. The family of God would have lived for billions of years in God's love, but it was replaced by the appearance of Satan's family. The family centered on Satan spread all over the world. Now the world has about 180 countries. Throughout history, many strong tribes each absorbed numerous weak tribes and unified them, so the number of countries was reduced to about 180. However, these countries should be united into one according to God's will.

Where did Satan make his foundation? Satan also knows God. Because God is the owner centering on the original nature of creation, He is on the side of the original. On the other hand, since Satan [Lucifer] was created by the Original being, Satan is standing on a relative basis.

The original foundation for humans is the conscience. Whom does the conscience resemble? Because the human conscience resembles God, the human mind is regarded as being on God's side. On the other hand, whom does the human body resemble? Because the body resembles Satan, the body is regarded as being on Satan's side. Do you understand? Why is the mind on God's side? Why is the body on Satan's side? These are not simply casual words of Rev. Moon, given without authority. You should clearly understand this.

How has the conscience been sacrificed? Do you know the situation of the conscience, which has been violated throughout your whole life? The conscience is weary from taking care of you day and night. However, no matter how tired it may be, the conscience hinders the body from behaving in a wrong way. "Haven't you done that enough? You should stop doing it! Shouldn't you listen to my words?" Your conscience says things like that. Therefore, your conscience is the closest thing to you, like your parents, your teachers, and God. The mind itself doesn't need education. Do you understand? However, the body absolutely needs education. Don't you agree?

If you are doing as your body wishes, you are connected to hell. On the other hand, if you do as your mind wants, you are connected to the Kingdom of God. In this sense, the determiner between the Kingdom of God and hell is yourself. Just as Korea is divided north and south by the 38th parallel, Satan divides and occupies you. By dividing, Satan occupies. Thus, in order to separate from Satan, the left foot should be moved to the south. It is simple. Because of Satan's tactic, every existing being is divided between good and evil. If one were to die without separating the good from the evil, the 38th parallel of the individual could not be overcome. Then, one could not enter the good spirit world. The 38th parallel of the family and country could not be overcome. Then, how could we go over the 38th parallel of the world and universe? It would be impossible.

You must deplore the fact that your body has become the dance hall of Satan. Your body became Satan's place of love. Your body inherited Satan's blood lineage through his love. Satan's blood has controlled you by the realm of power in order to trample upon your personality. Satan is trying to have dominion over you for millions of years through your blood lineage. Your country cannot remove Satan for you. You have to do it yourself.

What is religion? The historical struggle of religion is fundamentally to defeat the root of sin. However, liberation theologians do not know this. Despite the fact that they are in a position destined for hell, and that they themselves are Satan's ballroom, they are noisily trying to save society for the sake of religion. Crazy people! If Rev. Moon were not here, they would create a big problem. They are like Communists.

You should understand the content of what I'm saying. You should hate yourself. You should hate your physical body. "I am a child of the enemy! I myself was born through the love of the enemy's son and daughter. I inherited the blood of Satan, who killed the King and trampled upon the Kingship. I inherited the blood of Satan, who devastated the ideal of love within the heavenly universe!" You should realize that Satan's blood vibrates within your body. You cannot even cut it out with a knife or burn it away with fire. (214-281)

From the viewpoint of the providence for restoration, if you think that the present time is the final will of God then you should ask yourself if you are living every moment seriously. You should not be swept along by environmental conditions regardless of your will. If you failed to live seriously even for one moment, you will be ashamed of yourself before God. Such a moment is a problem. How much do people like you? You should figure out whether you are more liked or disliked. "How well do I keep the universal law? How well do I live a life that enables me to be authorized by heaven and earth?" Before your death, when you reflect upon your life, if the percentage of goodness does not exceed 60 percent, you will be sent to hell.

Although your body is limited, your mind should have a history of struggle, in which you were not willing to be limited. You should be able to proclaim, "I am liberated; so, all people should inherit my tradition, before heaven and earth, before history and the present, and before my descendants." If you did not have such a proud moment, you must be sent to hell without mercy. (19-27)

The world is in chaos. How about the spirit world? Since confused people are living in the spirit world, the spirit world also cannot help but be in chaos. For example, a person with a criminal record of stealing cannot just drop his bad habits. When such a person goes to the spirit world, he naturally wants to get something without making effort. Since such a person cannot be treated properly in the spirit world, hell was formed.

God did not make hell. Hell was formed. For example, do people build their house after making a garbage can? [No!] After building the house, while they are living in it, the garbage can comes out. (laughter) Hell is the same. Traditional Christians do not know their root. They are saying, "We are fine even though we don't know our root. Everything will be fine if only we are fine." When such satisfied people go to the spirit world, where shall they go? They must go to hell. People who do not go through the root have to go down to the bottom. They cannot be welcomed. (148-28)

If you are living a false life, when will you clean it out? Don't you have such a mind? If your left eye loses its sight, you will have to remove it or cure it. Likewise, you should discern good from evil in your life. If there is a God, then God must teach a method for correcting one's mind. That is why religion emerged.

God did not make hell because of jealousy or envy. Since many false people appeared in history, God could not help but make hell as the warehouse to manage them. Do people build their house after first making a trash can? For instance, if you bought cabbage to make kimchi, but while making it discovered the outer leaves eaten by worms, you would dump it into a garbage can. The fall was committed by the human progenitors. Therefore, in order to indemnify that and remove the sin, persons who have the qualification of True Parents should emerge. You must understand this clearly. (20-118)

Who is the highest grandfather in the universe? It is God. Who is the final descendant? In the future, He the world and cosmos will be united into one. Both the first one, God, and the final descendant have to be connected. How can they be connected? That is the family. It is not the country. In entering the Kingdom of God, nobody can have a special privilege. No matter what country you are in, such as America, Korea, or an underdeveloped country, no special privilege will be given to you. In the Kingdom of God, only the model family is authorized. Centering on its organization as the leading family, the model family has to connect the past, the present, and the future. This is the formula for unifying the whole world. The warehouse where the fruits of such families are stored is the Kingdom of God. These families are the best and highest.

Because people who lived in this world had no condition for God to save them, they could not go to heaven. Even though insects were eating them and worms were attached, God had such people stored in order to feed even pigs. People went to hell and paradise. Thus, from the viewpoint of the Unification Church, the Kingdom of God is vacant. (135-118)

In the spirit world, people are staying in various stages of hell. Why do they stay there? It is because they did not practice filial piety, as filial sons and daughters, centering on the order of love. It is because they did not fulfill their mission, as loyal patriots, centering on the country. It is because, although someone was supposed to be a saint centering on the world, he did not reach that stage.

Humans have to go the right way on earth. What is the right way? There should be the right way on the levels of individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, universe, and even God. Such a singular way should exist. What is that way? It is the original way of love. (147-183)

In the spirit world, when you cannot correspond to the power of love, a strong reaction comes against you. Nobody tells you to go to hell. Do you understand? Therefore, the Bible says, "Love your enemy!" True love has influence on the enemy. If you overcome the first, second, third, and fourth difficult situation centering on love, the enemy will disappear. It is because love has such great power that Jesus said, "Love your enemy!" Christians today think "enemy" refers to an individual enemy, but there is no enemy before God. Then, who is the enemy? The enemy is the one who violates the law of love, which has infinite value. Who is Satan before God? Satan is an adulterer before God. That is a very tragic and sad fact.

True Father is called a heretic because he disclosed what he recognized in the spirit world. People say Rev. Moon is the king of heresy who is trying to destroy Christianity. They are wishing that Rev. Moon would die. However, while True Father is still alive, some of them have already died. Why is this so? It is because in the Will of God True Father still has a lot of things to do. (121-173)

Let's suppose you have a son who committed murder and was sentenced to death. When your son goes to his execution, are you going to say, "It is good for you to die. Sa-yo-na-ra! Good-bye." Are there such parents? Upon seeing your son's death, do you say, "I hate you! I don't want to see you any more. At last we can be separated."

If such tragic deaths were to continue forever, do you think any parent could just watch without doing something? You would try to do everything possible in order to liberate your children, don't you agree? Loving parents will continuously try to save their children, even at the risk of their lives. Are there any parents who will say, "That's enough, let's stop trying." Although it may take eternity to save their son, they will forever try.

In this sense, God is a miserable God. As long as the door to hell is still closing, God is anxiously trying to liberate his children. That is to fulfill the responsibility of heavenly Parents. God cannot say, "Let me eliminate everything." Because of His parental heart, God has to liberate even hell.

Keeping in mind such a Heavenly Father, are you going to follow your wife if she says, "Honey! Let our son stay there forever! You are struggling too much. You've done enough! Please turn away from him!" When we consider this situation, how miserable it is!

If your son comes to know your heart, he will repent thousands of times for his wrong behavior. Do you understand what I am saying? If there is such a father and mother, the son will repent to the death. Because of the parents, the way to liberate the son can be made. Will anyone accuse the parents because they tried to liberate and embrace their son when he repented? Therefore, Satan cannot accuse God, who loves humankind and tries to save them. If someone goes to God and unites with him, Satan cannot say, "You can't stand in such a position." Not even Satan can accuse the one who is standing in the perfect position before God. On the contrary, Satan naturally surrenders before such a person. There is no rule preventing forgiveness for the one who repents through the love of parents.

The Unification Church has to liberate hell through this kind of heart. That is the way of a true filial child, isn't it? Therefore, the Unification Church can say, "We will liberate even hell." Why? Because God has such a heart. Reflecting upon your life, have you been a dutiful child? Do you have the contents of life to become a filial son or daughter? Your answer has to be "no". You are all less than a dutiful child. All of you are not dutiful. (62-51)

If your beloved parents and relatives do not believe the Unification Church, they will go to hell. Are you sure about this? They will have to go to hell. If your elder brother, younger brother, mother, father, or relatives do not believe the Unification Church, they will all go to hell. Do you firmly believe that or not? [We believe it!] You don't seem to be that certain. Once someone is drawn into hell, he can never escape. In spite of this, you are not feeling substantially the fact that your family and relatives will go to hell. You are just being optimistic. However, let's think seriously that your beloved parents are really going to hell. If your parents were to go to prison in their lifetime, you would be really anxious to release them through all possible means. How much more desperate it is if your parents and relatives go to eternal hell.

You don't know anything yet. You don't know whether there really is a hell or not. You don't know what the Divine Principle means to you. Do you really know or not? It must be vague to you. You can understand clearly if you die. However, once you die, it is too late.

Nowadays, many spirit persons who came to understand about the Unification Church after they died are leading people to the church. During their lifetimes, they opposed their son or daughter attending the Unification Church, but in the spirit world, they began to understand about the church. So, they are coming to this world spiritually, and are eager to lead people to the church. If they don't do this, they cannot be resurrected. Do you understand? If you oppose your son attending the Unification Church, you cannot advance in the spirit world.

Therefore, spirit persons want to descend to this world. They devote themselves to God and receive special permission, in the name of their good ancestors, to come to this world. They appear before their sons and daughters and testify about the Unification Church. However, without a special condition, spirit persons cannot come here. When they recognize in the spirit world what the Unification Church is, how amazed they are! Do you not know this?

The Unification Church is not where you just come and go without any meaning. If you separate yourself from the church, it will be lost forever. When the door is closed, nobody opens the door eternally. When the door is opened, nobody can close it forever. Because what is tied on the earth should be solved on earth, you should solve by yourself what you tie. This is a problem. Therefore, when you evangelize, you don't need to go to another place.
