Pyeong Hwa Gyeong (145) Book 8. The Reunification of Korea and World Peace CHAPTER 14. The Course of Life for the Princes and Princesses of God
6. The path for God’s true sons and daughters - 3
Do you think that Satan, who has resisted God for six thousand years, is just going to quietly say, “That’s enough! I’ve had it. I think I’ll just give up,” and lower his eyes and slink away? No, he will not leave us alone, he will scrutinize us even as we might carefully inspect a lowly washcloth, turning it over and over, before throwing it out. What I’m saying is that Satan will not give up and go away just like that. This is why he keeps putting up such a stubborn fight.
To fight Satan successfully, we have to unite with the center. Even I, Rev. Moon of the Unification Church, will be discarded the day I deviate from the center. If the direction isn’t right, we can’t make any real progress. The reason we seek the heavenly nation is to be able to find the world, and the reason we seek the world is for the sake of the spirit world. After we do that, what is next?
Then we attend our Heavenly Parent on His return to the earth. We will stand in our positions and, with all nations attending God assembled on either side, we will march forward with Him to dedicate and offer Him the glory of victory.
Your mission as a member of the Unification Church calls you to engage in this struggle. Even if our shoes wear out and we go barefoot, we have to march forward to build the eternal homeland. Can we save this nation if we eat our fill and only offer leftovers? Can you spend your energy worrying about what you wear, when you’ll eat, how you’ll get along? We have to clear the path and pioneer the way with our bare feet and bare hands. This is what we do in the Unification Church.
Are you brave, courageous warriors, heroes who can step forward for the establishment of the homeland, or are you impeding it? When we say yeongsa, “hero,” we mean those who can represent the nation and accomplish things that other people cannot.
We do not call just anyone a hero. Other people are mere soldiers. A hero is someone who succeeds when his or her comrades can’t do the job and have to retreat. The Chinese character yeong means swift, quick. A hero has to run faster than anyone else, even able to virtually dodge bullets. We can’t use the word hero for someone who does what just anyone can do.
