The Meaning of the Words True Parents
The words True Parents are precious
You should know how important and how precious the words True Parents are. You have an obligation to believe in True Parents even if you may not believe in your nation and the president, your teachers, your parents, or your brothers and sisters. You should know that the concept of True Parents contains the idea of the salvation of hell and the evil world of Satan.
When you are in an unavoidable place of death in the satanic world and your parents then become the strength to shield you against death, and this is acknowledged by heaven and by history, how proud you will be! True Parents are vouched for by God and history. You should know how the words True Parents came into being.
I did not start this work in order to become the True Parent. I was forced to come forward and do this because it could not be done without me. (116-113, 1981.12.27)
True Parents are our source of enormous pride
So far, what has been the position of our generation? Even if the ancestors of millions of generations were to all resurrect and sing about the glory of resurrection, neither the song nor the glory would be removed from the domain of the Fall.
What about the words True Parents that are spoken in the Unification Church? Although your current situation may be miserable, you should know that the term True Parents taught about in the Unification Church today is a most honored term. Its value is greater than the songs of praise of hundreds of millions of ancestors or of being in a glorious place of earthly victory and the liberation of all people.
You should know that meeting with the True Parents will lead you along the path to meet God, and meeting with the Unification Church will lead you along the path whereby God’s nation and the homeland desired by the True Parents can be found in the near future.
Until now, human beings have been living in nations with different cultural heritages and borders, claiming them as their homelands. Their ancestors have lived there in the past, people are living there now, and their descendants will also live there. All of them, however, are surely in the fallen domain.
We should leave and kick away this fallen domain, and find the homeland of love where we can proudly sing of today’s triumph together with our ancestors and our tribes before our future descendants.
In the homeland of love, if we can have loving parents and, moreover, attend God as the center of that homeland, there will be no place of higher glory. (138-105, 1986.1.19)
The Messiah is in the position of Adam who has perfected God’s love and thus he comes with the qualification of the original father. Hence, based on the father who then chooses a mother, and on a foundation based on God’s original love, the rights of ownership of the individual, family, tribe, people, and nation must first belong to the Messiah through true love. Rights of ownership can then accrue to nations, citizens, families and individuals.
Thus, if the original love of the Messiah had been established from the individual to the nation, and its waves had reached Rome and the world, there would be no need today of a philosophy heralding the Second Advent.
From this point of view, is America a country belonging to the realm of God’s love? No! There is no country on earth that has passed through such a course. Countless churches in the Christian sphere do not come under the ownership coinciding with God’s principle of love. They absolutely do not. The heavenly kingdom does not exist on earth. When we consider this, the words True Parents are magnificent! Only these words can be the basis for piercing through the fallen domain of the satanic world and going up.
You should be grateful for the appearance of the words True Parents. You can be thankful for them even after hearing them tens of thousands of times. (129-193, 1983.11.5)
