5. THE SPIRIT WORLD HAS ACCEPTED FATHER

Well, do all the leaders in the spirit world know Rev. Moon, or don't they know him? [They know him.] Why? Why do you think that they know? [We know it very well.] (laughter) There is only one person in history, who has received worldwide persecutions throughout his entire life in the name of religion. That is none other than Rev. Moon. Do you understand? I am the number-one person in history when it comes to being persecuted on the worldwide level. Number one. I am in the world class of the religious world. I have received world-class persecution. I am the champion of that. Isn't it true? [Yes.]

Why is it so? The spirit world says that Rev. Moon is the champion among those who have received persecution, and even the world of earth says so. Can you say that it isn't true? Yes, you too know that, don't you? [Yes.] Your mothers and fathers have opposed us and they know it well. Isn't it true that the whole world knows Rev. Moon is the number-one troublemaker? Am I the number two or the number one in this area? [The number one.]

So, even in the spirit world, when Rev. Moon is mentioned, they say, "Wow!" and they cannot raise their heads in front of Rev. Moon. It's normal. Do they lower their heads to me, or not? [They lower their heads.] They lower their heads and bow down to me. That's a fact. Next, what is precious about the Unification Church, and what is precious about Rev. Moon? What are they? What are the assets that Rev. Moon possesses? What is he proud of? What is his pride? What is his pride, and what makes them say, "We are happy to have you here, please go up there?" [True Love.] [God.] God. I know God.

I know more than they know in the spirit world. This is critical. There are so many people, but I am the one who knows God's heart. So, who likes me the most? God likes me the most. This is important. God loves me. Do you agree with that? [Yes.] Look, where will I stay when I go to the spirit world? Will I stay in the bottom of hell, or the top of the spirit world? [At the top.]

I don't desire to be at the top. Because I don't want to be at the top, I will go down to the lower places, but they will drag me, by pulling my legs upside down out of there. Will the spirit world say, "You wretched Rev. Moon, how dare you want to go on the top?" No, they won't. They will give me applause. What do you think? Will they welcome and applaud me? Or, will they say, "Yuck," and hate me? [They will welcome you.] It doesn't sound real, does it? It's a lie. It's a big, fat lie. What? It's not a lie? [No.] Why? For what reason would you say, "No?" Everyone says, "No." Then, is it a historic event that today people like you are here in front of Rev. Moon to listen to his speech or not? I mean people like all of you. [It's a historic event.] It is a historic event. (laughter) Did you ever think about it before you came here? You came to understand it because I told you.

Catholic priests and nuns pray throughout their lives. Even if they pray in tears to the point that their knees are scarred, they cannot meet the lord on earth. They may meet Jesus and get some guidance from him. Nevertheless, you come here to listen to these words. It is a historic event. Whether you give me any qualifications or not, I have already acquired all the necessary qualifications. If you want those qualifications, suit yourself. Where are you Moonies heading for in the spirit world if you live well on earth? Also, do you know that there are many things that Rev. Moon has accomplished? Those scholars with arrogant attitudes who don't listen to anybody I brought one by one and made them one. Also, I brought all the religions which are fighting together into one. As for peoples, I brought antagonistic peoples together and held a worldwide mass wedding. These facts have never happened in the past history. Everything Father has done has never happened before in all of history.

Considering all that I have done, it is way beyond all that the spirit world has done. I have worked harder than anybody. You admit it, don't you? Well, will the Unification Church be at the bottom of the spirit world, or in the best spot on the top? [Best spot.] It's a lie. It's all made up by Rev. Moon. [No.] This is a very serious issue.
