The Words of the Son Family |
Internet Sermon by Rev. Son, Japan's top leader or Continental Director. This was most probably from Tokyo headquarters but I wasn't able to ask where the venue was. Unofficial notes from a translation. My note taking or the translation is a little spotty, so just read behind the lines. Excerpt only.
The sermon consisted of 3 parts: a lecture from Chapter 2 of the Divine Principle. Sermon by Rev. Son via the Internet, and sermon by Rev. Kim at Fukuoka church.
First, there was a reading of messages from the True Family. These are from Hyung Jin Nim, Kook Jin Nim and Dae Moo Nim. These messages were sent to Japan church in the aftermath of the disaster following the big quake and the devastating tsunami.
True Parents are really worried and are praying for Japan. 8 times a day he prays for Japan.
True Parents donated to Japan. Korean church is also supporting by donation...
Kook Jin Nim's wife came also today and was praying.
Message from Hyung Jin Nim:
Our loving Mother country, brothers and sisters. It happened suddenly this earthquake.... I'm really worried. I'm staying in the US with True Parents. True Parents are really praying for Japan, esp. for Japanese church members. Requested (most probably referring to True Parents?) that they give (Korean church?) donation to Japan. I'm praying 8 times a day, together with world leaders, with True Parents. Eog Mansei...
From Kook Jin Nim:
Mother country Japan. I'm really worried... I'm staying in Germany. Through the media I heard.... Each family is protected by God. True Parents' blessing is coming to Japan...
Dae Mo Nim's message from Chung Pyung:
Our loving brothers and sisters! This new starting workshop, by True Parents' direction. It started Feb 14.
Suddenly this earthquake happened. I can't continue this workshop. True Parents are really requesting prayers for Japan. Brothers and sisters do seisei for God's dispensation. For this workshop, I pray for God's blessing to come to Japan.
Part I. Divine Principle lecture on Chapter 2.
Sorry to inject my thoughts in the beginning part of this sermon. At the second day of the quake, I was asking God in prayer why the quake and the killer tsunami had to happen.
Through the 2 sermons, the answer became clear: we have to repent (for our sins). I think this is meant for our whole Unification Church membership. Rev. Kim (see 2nd sermon below)said:
"...Until now, the True Children were sacrificed. Now, the Cain world has to sacrifice. This kind of era has come...."
...tsunami... Everybody was surprised. The world saw this situation. More than 1000 people. We don't know the total number (those who perished).... Let's pray for those who died, who went to the spirit world...
..The ideal of creation is to establish heaven on earth and in the SW. There are 3 points: love heaven, love God, love humanity, love the nation...
Religions are seeking for True Parents. True Parents' religion is the last religion.
No. 3 is love the nation. We should seek the Cheon Il Guk nation. We need to change. Everything from the satanic side we have to return to God's side...we have to give the Blessing to 6.5 Billion people...
...It's really sad. The countryside people were hit by tsunami. Those who lived in the cities survived...
March 11, I went to Hokkaido and around 2 PM
I took a flight to Korea.
After 2 PM, after 40 minutes, the earthquake happened.
I heard about the news in the airplane.
I went to a hotel. I was watching the news. I really prayed to God, "Japan is the Mother country. In order to fulfill the Mother's responsibility, they (members) did hard work. If you judge Japan now, how can we fulfill God's dispensation?... Please protect.. that way, we can progress with God's dispensation..."
...True Parents are directly praying for Japan. I reported to True Parents...This is a serious time.
Japan, even if they have a big earthquake, they are prepared. There's not much destruction by earthquake. We were too much proud...
...Nineveh. at that time, they were repentful and prayed to God. God heard that prayer and protected them. Through a more strong, faithful life, we could overcome this difficulty.
All things that happened is our responsibility. If we really did complete unity with True Parents, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened...
We have to think about the whole of Japan as our brothers and sisters. We have to witness...This is God's command...
If we do, spirit world will really help. Even if our ancestors really want to help but if we don't do, they'll give up....
...Those who died around you..."Because of me, you died, you went to the SW". We have to pray like this...
We have to repent, we have to do seisei (Jeong Seong). We have to be loyal....
Fukuoka churches' overall leader. Excerpt:
...I have a friend in Miyage. I tried to contact but there was no response...
Whole villages disappeared. Many death, sacrifice... Rev. Son explained the correct way of thinking.
Until now, the True Children were sacrificed. Now., the Cain world has to sacrifice. This kind of era has come..
Rev. Son explained. We heard many things. We just listen and don't repent. As a whole nation, we have to wake up and repent...
God is really looking for some good people. God wants the people to repent... otherwise all humankind will disappear, by war, fighting... God is giving the alarm. So we have to repent...
We're not being loyal to God because we're not listening. We have to repent ourselves...
I heard many old people were sacrificed. When people get older, they become more pure. Countryside people are more pure and they were sacrificed... Church members should repent...
Dae Mo Nim came and restarted things. We need a new determination....
