True Parents congratulate the newly blessed couples.
The value of this Blessing is so precious and so eternal; therefore, in order to qualify for this Blessing you must purify yourselves. The history of God has been the history of divine providence. "Divine providence" can be described as the history of restoration through paying indemnity. In order to pay enough indemnity to stand before the True Parents is not easy. You have to pay a lot of debts from the past, not only for yourself, but for your ancestors as well. This is such a precious and serious commitment.
In order to be eligible to come before True Parents to receive the Blessing, you have to separate from the concept of being married. Even though you were married in the secular world, you have to go back to the original brother/sister position: Adam and Eve's original position. You must stand purely in front of True Parents, as though you were never married. That is God's original standard for eligibility.
I would like you to understand why you have to come before True Parents to be married again. You are, and all of us in the world today are, the offspring of the satanic lineage because of the fall of man. Before you can go to heaven you have to change your lineage from the satanic side to the heavenly side. True Parents are the only ones authorized by God to do so; your lineage will be transferred to that of the True Parents and by doing so you come into God's lineage.
This transfer of lineage is the most crucial thing in our lives but this cannot be done until the installation of the True Parents on earth. In order to have this Blessing, so many saints and innocent Christians were sacrificed. Upon that foundation True Parents came and gave this Blessing. In order to have True Parents appear on the face of the earth, how much God has worked behind the scenes! If you just come here and feel you are ready for the Blessing, this is not the right attitude.
In the Bible, Rev. 21 it says that the hope of man is to become a tree of life. In order to become trees of life each person must absolutely cleanse himself and become as a virgin.
Because of the fall of man everything was lost all at once. Restoration, however, must be done stage by stage. Each stage might take thousands of years, but the ultimate goal is to restore the parents' position. It took 6,000 biblical years. In order to restore that position, so much sacrifice had to paid throughout the Old, New, and Completed Testament eras.
Unless you are able to restore the foundation of all things and the foundation of children, you yourself will have to be sacrificed. That is exactly what happened at Jesus' time.
Why was the son of God, who was sent as the Messiah, crucified? He needed 12, 72, and 120 disciples as a foundation on which to stand, but that was not accomplished.
Because of the opposition from established Christianity, I also initially lost everything. I had to restore all things, then restore children. Upon that foundation true parenthood was established.
That is why when you join the Unification Church, for the first three-and-a-half years you restore yourself by making the condition of restoring the creation. Next, you witness for three-and-a-half years. When you win spiritual children you can claim yourself as God's child. You must have at least a minimum of three spiritual children, which is equivalent to the three archangels in heaven before the fall of man. Once you have that seven-year foundation then your position will be that of Adam and Eve before the fall.
Then you are free from the accusation of Satan. That is why I am so serious about this. This is how I struggled. But my struggle is far deeper than any of you would go through in seven years. I had to struggle my entire life so that your seven-year condition could be accepted, and that you could be blessed.
The first stage is claiming all things of creation. The second stage is to claim yourself. Now you stand ready before God but you are still not your own. You cannot claim your own self until you are approved and accepted by God. Until then you have no ownership. There is no such thing as "my house," "my son or daughter"; even "my body" is not mine. God must have the first ownership. The fall established satanic ownership so we must establish God's ownership. Marriage can be possible only after that condition is set.
God will eventually have one sovereignty. Then you will be free from the accusation of Satan. We are now in the wilderness and ready to cross the Jordan River into Canaan. We still have this battle in front of us. As you stand here today, you must be ready to go out, win this battle and claim the world for God.
Because of the failure of established Christianity in the United States, I paid 43 years of indemnity by myself and now another occasion has been presented, which is from 1985-1992. This is a most important seven-year period. I have forgiven America's sin and have asked God's forgiveness for this nation. But America will decline unless she unites with me. America is helpless in the face of communism, declining Christianity, and immorality. I am working to remedy these situations.
Our path is to search after families, a nation, and ultimately a world united with God. So far the Unification Church's emphasis has been given to the individual and family levels. Now I have declared the tribal messiahships some time ago and we are undertaking this dispensation. I am sure that you are listening to this idea for the first time in your entire life. You have to know and practice this truth first and then you can come to the Blessing. Actually, you are not yet completely worthy to receive this Blessing.
Those individuals who are above 60 years of age now have a chance to be given the Single Blessing. You have a great hope. You will be singly blessed until you are elevated to the spirit world. In the spirit world, there are great numbers of people who are spiritually living for eternity. Since you are blessed by True Parents here on earth you will have special privileges -- I may match you in the spirit world to the finest person in history.
The Holy Wine Ceremony will now begin. This is the ceremony in which your blood lineage will be transferred to God's lineage. Your lineage was lost through the sequence of the archangel, Eve, and Adam. Therefore restoration comes through the archangel to the mother, father, and then to the bride and bridegroom.
God originally created man first and then woman, but in restoration this is reversed. I am in the Adam's position, and the women receive the Holy Wine from me. By doing this you set the condition of uniting with me and restoring yourselves, becoming the extension of Mother. The wife is in the mother's position, and then the husband will be reborn so that he becomes a restored Adam.
By this ceremony you will be authorized to become tribal messiahs. True Parents are the universal messiah. You will eventually have a national messiah when God's sovereignty is restored. Now, all blessed couples have the right to go out to claim your tribe and restore them into heaven. With this power you can go and win the world.
Ceremony for the 138 Couples Blessing and the 57 Members Single Blessing.
