True Families and the Family Pledge (114) Chapter two. Explanation of the Family Pledge Section 1. Explanation of Family Pledge Number One 1.5. Building the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven
1.5.1. The starting point for the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven is the family - 8
A family is an encapsulation of all the men and women of humankind. By “humankind,” we mean men and women. A family is the seed that can expand to every level.
A seed can multiply into a family. The family can multiply to become more families. These families join together and expand their numbers, and form tribes, peoples, nations, the world, and heaven and earth. (273-48, 1995.10.21)
The family is like a railway locomotive. When it runs toward its destination, passing through tunnels on the way, your nation and the world hanging on at the end can automatically arrive in the Kingdom of Heaven. (269-291, 1995.5.1) |
