Greeting from Ms. Yasue Erikawa, World Itinerant

Cho-guk! Kwang-bok! Hae-bang!

Thank you for your devotions to the 3-months course from July to September centering on 3 providential nations, Korea, Japan, and America.

True Father said at East Garden on Sep. 6th, 2000, "From October times will change. Everyone has to have a responsibility. Do not think centering on you or your countries. The time of direct dominion of God is coming. You have to attain the Four Position Foundation, and settle down."

Now October has come. Before October, True Parents called the families the wives of which finished blessed wives 21-day workshop for registration. Then True Parents did for us "Four Position Foundation Blessing for Registration" three times from 9/24 to 9/30 on the base of the proclamation of "The blessing of 3 Era Change and Unity" on 9/24. Fortunately, I also took part in the first blessing. After the blessing I visited my mission place in Korea, and on Sep. 30th I came back to America as early as possible.

In Chung Pyung more than ten thousand people gathered, and there was a state of chaos. But True Parents invested himself to talking in us with heart.

This time I will share with you the content of True Father's words on Sep. 24th.

God's blood lineage was lost by the fall of Adam and Eve. In the Old testament age God promised to send the Messiah. Messiah means True Parents.

There is no freedom for fallen human beings. Freedom is liberated by True Love.

What is the difference between man and woman? Sexual organ. Convexity and concavity. These are eternally necessary for each other. Originally, man and woman had to love being pleased, and showing themselves to each other. Marriage is to put the love together. Convexity and concavity unite into one, and child is born.

There are no children who want that parents divorce. Father and Mother are one body. So, they cannot divorce. Man's sexual organ should enter into only one woman's sexual organ. But that fell into disorder by the fall.

Does God have sexual organ? There are convexity and concavity. Convexity is forward and concavity is backward. God is masculine. Man should stand in front, and woman follows man. After woman marries, woman should follow her husband. If there is not man and woman, there is no value in the life. As God is unique, absolute, unchanging, and eternal, man's sexual organ is also unique, absolute, unchanging, and eternal. Woman's sexual organ is the same too. If man and woman do not unite into one, there are no descendants. Unification Church knows that man is very precious and woman is very precious too. Man and woman must have united into one in the melting pot of love and have dances. But it could not be attained. To give birth a grandchild was parents' hope. But it could not be attained.

The complete family has husband and wife, father and mother, and children. Man and woman should unite into one without complaint. Even if we have money, power, or knowledge, we die without man and woman. It is a wrong thinking to live single. Unification Church is a training school to make unity of subject and object.

Sexual organs of man and woman are most holy places and the place of Sabbath. Let's make the place of Sabbath. If you love your husband (wife), you are in heaven. Your love should be unique, absolute, unchanging, and eternal. And you have to settle down completely.

Human beings lost God's homeland they would register by the fall. So God has bled for standing to reason centering on God. The religious leaders were persecuted.

God does not want divorce. Unification Church teaches concretely. To marry is to dominate each other. Those whose sexual organ is eternal, absolute, unique and unchanging can settle down completely, and register.

Do you make love without shadow as man or as woman? Conscience has no shadow. Did you become husband and wife who have no shadow in every way? Husband and wife who can register have completely no shadow and can settle down. Heavenly fortune protects that couple. God protects that couple, and they stand as the lords who have happiness of heaven and earth. God created human beings and all things with an ideal of love, so God becomes lord when the purpose of Creation is attained.

When God created all things, all things were created so that they are loved by human beings. So human beings have to love all things as their children. All things are materials to raise children. Human beings should have stood in the position of prince and princess who love all things as substitute of God. But because of the fall, human beings look down on all things. To love all things is also one of the conditions of the couple who can register the Heavenly Kingdom.

Four factors of the Creation are air, sun, water, and soil. Air, sunlight, and water flow into wherever there is an opening. Love also flows. Love flows into the narrow opening where air, sunlight, and water cannot flow. Love is almighty. Love absorbs everything better than water. When we live for love, we want to live for thousands of years. Love tastes better than water. True Love is absorbed into every cell. True Love is absorbed into everything. Does it struggle to be absorbed? No. True Love is absorbed with harmony. The king of love can go everywhere in the cosmos. You should go to a village with True Love, and love from a root. Love can fly more freely than air, sunlight, or water. Let's become the husband and wife God can have hope. Let's attain the ideal couple, eternal family. Raise your hands and applaud! (TP words finished.)

After seeing True Father off, President Chung Hwan Kwak said, "True Parents and Heung Jin Nim are responsible for Four Position Foundation Blessing for Registration. We are incomplete and have much shortage. Because of True Parents' love, we can receive the blessing as the historical grace. So, we have to be sincere. Let's do our best for All the blessed couples to receive the blessing." In October there are many important providential events, and we should do our best as True men and women.

When we visited 19 Street Church, which is oldest church in Washington D.C., and explained the flag to the woman in the office, she was very impressed with the meaning of the flag - she was in tears. She asked us to say directly to the pastor, and invited us to the Sunday service the next day.

At the Orthodox Church a pastor was busy with the preparation of baptism, but his atmosphere was extremely changed and he put the flyer of MFM. We could take photo with him outside of the church.

For a one-hour-and-half activity, we could dedicate 6 flags.

We went to the invited church at 8:00 in the morning. We could talk with the pastor, but he was interested in neither the flag nor the prayer breakfast meeting. He said, "If you want to meet me, you have to make an appointment." However, a woman who listened to us behind us was interested in the flag and MFM, and she asked for of 2 flags for her and her friend. She gave us donation $10, and told me her telephone number to order more flags. We felt the cooperation of the spirit world by this visitation. The church we happened to pass by held a party. We tried to give flags to white pastor, because we thought that even white pastor might accept them in a happy atmosphere. He said, "I accept this."

It was Sunday, so we divided into 2 teams; one visits a new church and the other visits church once we visited. At almost all new churches pastors accepted the flag by the grace of God. One church was the same denominational church which the missionary in South America had a contact, and the pastor accepted the flag comfortably. He knew the MFM too. We dedicated the flags to the highest pastors of high-class church in Manhattan, and we thought that these people are necessary for TP.

Today 3 pastors and politicians left for London to participate in the Conference. And a bishop and a pastor started for the Conference in Washington D.C. There is one of the 120 pastors who visited Korea, and we hope that the pastor realizes his mission to introduce new pastors.

We visited the churches that gave us a response toward the Family Flag Day tomorrow. I was surprised that there are big churches, especially the Catholic Churches. There was good response. Some people eagerly talked about the necessity of the Family Flag Day as well as the Parent's Day. We take care of pastors continuously, and want to connect with TP and the teaching of UC.

The conference in Rockland was reported in a newspaper. The article says, "The leaders of Islam and Rabbis of Judaism, which are opposed to each other and sometimes killed each other, improve the relationship and go ahead together to MFM." The content is so hopeful that we used the article to introduce when visiting.

(The part of the article is below.)

I took part in the meeting of MFM sponsored by Nation of Islam in Mt. Vernon City together with Japanese missionaries. The guest speakers like a former mayor, the person in charge of Mt. Vernon City at Million Men March in 1997, the highest leader of school wards of the City etc, expressed the idea of approval of one another.

Finally Minister Muhammad explained the meaning and the purpose of MFM. In the middle of his speech he had us stand and politely introduced us to the people, "They came from the Unification Church to help us." When he said, "MFM is not the meeting for only blacks but the meeting which transcends the race, culture, and religion," he showed us as evidence. Actually this day there were not only Asian like us but the white brothers and sisters, and the baby who was born to white and Islamic couple.

We participated in the meeting silently, but I thought that we are the living testimonies of True Parents' teaching in public. Minister Muhammad appreciated True Parents, Bishop Park, and Bishop Kim, explaining the Unification Church publicly. There will be a similar meeting at Messiah Baptist Church in Yonker on 10/5.

Rev. Santos, who accepted 100 flags, came to the evening service and gave a speech. He made friends with the members of Bronx Church, so we will ask him to come to Hoon Dok Hae to study TP's words.

When a church is empty, we leave a flyer there. Recently, there were 8 responses from flyers and mailing. They say, "Give me the flag." And one pastor called us, "Please give 10 flags," so we immediately brought him the flags. I felt better fortune than ever, after it becomes September. From now on, we will educate them focusing on the mobilization of MFM.

One church asked for 2 flags after seeing our mail. And the members of the church came to go to MFM on 2 buses. Sister Steele in the church is cooperative with our movement and mobilized many people to MFM, because she has many friends not only in the church but also in the committee.

We thought that it was impossible to meet the pastor of the Riverside Church, which is the largest-scale church in Harlem, so we visited there only in order to leave the flag. A receptionist said, "The pastor is holding a service, so please go to downstairs." We went down and left the flag and pamphlets. When we came up and left there after exchanging greeting, the receptionist unexpectedly said, "Did you meet the pastor? He just went down...." We answered, "Not yet," and she went down the stairs and found the pastor. The pastor came up to us carrying the flag and pamphlets under his arms. We were surprised at his friendliness, saying, "I looked for you!" The former pastor seemed to be Leftist, but pastor now seemed to be very humble and open-minded. He knows True Father, and he seemed to think that we are international blessed couples. We talked while standing in the middle of the stairs, but we felt that this opportunity was prepared by the spirit world. We will visit this pastor again, hoping that this pastor will go to MFM.

Yesterday the 21-day prayer condition was finished, done by NJ state leader, Vice Regional Director, and Flag team (Japanese missionaries). The purpose was the unity of members in America and Flag team, the unity with Korean leader, to meet the pastor who can be John the Baptist, and to make the flag providence the one for myself.

Flag team came to America 2 months ago, and gradually they are close to brothers and sisters in America in heart. To unite more, we made this condition. After Chung Pyung workshop was postponed and the blessed wives devoted to MFM, the spirits extremely moved and rapidly members inside UC are unities into one. The leader of the center was decided, and many brothers and sisters are inspired. Everyone is full of vigor. State leader is pleased with this, thinking that now is the more vigorous than ever.

We, flag team, feel a big pleasure seeing the vigorous brothers and sisters. And we hope to have a good encounter. We have much shortage, but it is precious for us to do the same mission together.

As Rev. Jenkins said, we seem to be able to enter and settle down in Canaan without 1st and 2nd generation dying out because of unity between mother (Japan) and elder son (USA). We want to console God and True Parents by our sincere activity.
