True Families and the Family Pledge (115) 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
1.5.2. Building the Kingdom of Heaven is the mission of Blessed Families - 1 Number one of the Family Pledge is about the restitution of the environment. We must restore through indemnity everything that was lost. Until now, religions have asked people to leave home and to live celibate lives. However, the Unification Church instructs people to return to their hometowns, to their nations. A remarkable thing has occurred globally. There can be no higher happiness than this in the religious world. This is not just idle talk. (269-105, 1995.4.9) After we “seek our original homeland,” what comes next? We must build the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven. Because Adam and Eve were driven out, they lost everything, didn’t they? After you find it, what should you do? You must build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven.
You must create it. Because it was lost, we must recreate it all. We must find and rebuild the things that were stolen, even if it takes thousands or tens of thousands of years. That is why the Unification Church has asked you to return to your hometown. This is something unprecedented in the religious world. (288-323, 1998.1.1) |
