True Families and the Family Pledge (132) Chapter two. Explanation of the Family Pledge Section 2. Explanation of Family Pledge Number Two 2.1. Our family pledges to represent and become central to heaven and earth 2.1.2. Blessed families have the same value as the original family - 3
If you are of the Kim clan in Korea, you are not blessed as the son or daughter of the Kim clan. You are blessed in the same position as Adam and Eve who were direct descendants of God prior to the Fall. What does that mean? It means that centering on that family, the family represents all families.
Adam’s family represents all families. Tribes and clans are to connect to one point, Adam’s family, and grow into the world. Merging these into one, this will develop into a sphere and circle centering on that one point.
In the same way, as you have received the position of the original seed like Adam who is the central person, you must keep the same value for each of the tribes, peoples, nations, and world that Adam wanted to establish even though they are on different levels. (263-196, 1994.10.4) The family of True Parents is the seed. If it is the perfect seed, even if there are billions of families that have multiplied from that seed, they have the same value. They are equal. Since the families in which God can settle will receive recognition of having the same value even after thousands, ten thousands, or even hundred millions of generations pass, those seeds are equal. That is why our families are representative families. Our families represent Korea.
Pledge number two of the Family Pledge reads, “Our family…pledges to represent and become central to heaven and earth by attending God and True Parents... by centering on true love.” The representative family stands at the pinnacle.
And then it becomes a central family. When this family is connected horizontally and vertically, it occupies the position that connects the vertical and the horizontal. Your families are representative and central families. When your family becomes such a family, the entire universe can be yours. (282-319, 1997.4.7) |
