True Families and the Family Pledge (134) 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 - 5
Adam and Eve’s family is the central and representative family of heaven and earth. There is only one representative family. And there is only one central family. That is the seed, the seed of the family of Adam and Eve that is blessed in marriage. The seeds of such families are all equal. Your families must also be the same. (263-60, 1994.8.16) As restored families, do the Blessed Families have the same value as Adam’s family or are they different? If you go home, your family home is your palace. It is the palace of your tribe, the palace of your nation, the palace of the world, and the palace of heaven and earth. If you ask any man, he will say he wants to be a king, and if you ask any woman she will say she wants to be a queen. Isn’t that right? What on earth does that mean? Originally, Adam and Eve were to be king and queen.
They were to represent the world and the universe, not only families. This means they were to have been king and queen. That means the seed. You are the fruits. Fruits come from the same seed. They have the same value. The following is in the same context.
Do you think any man and woman we bring together in marriage can become like Adam and Eve who have not fallen and become the base of the kingdom in the family, in the nation, and in the heavenly kingdom in heaven and on earth? If those who have been blessed by True Parents in the Unification Church do not have such value equally, they will be struck by lightning. (261-317, 1994.7.24) |
