True Families and the Family Pledge (136) 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 - 7
Who is the direct ancestor of the realm of the royal family? He is the person who is centered on the foundation of true life and true lineage based on original love and on true love, as God’s direct son who has not fallen.
That person is the seed. The root emerging from the seed is the main root. It will grow into the main trunk, branches, and buds. As it grows vertically it will also grow outwards in proportion. This will join the families and the tribes, and also the peoples, the nations, and the world together.
The branches that grow out of the true root, true trunk, and true buds are also branches of true love. Therefore, the fruits that these branches bear have the same value as Adam’s original family.
When the original seed that can become the original root, original trunk, and original bud comes out as the fruit, if that fruit – a couple that centers on a family – is planted, it can grow into a new central root, central trunk, and central bud of the clan, based on the clan. That is why the fruit has the same value as the original. (263-194, 1994.10.4) Our Unification Church members should think, as Adam and Eve did, “I stand here on behalf of heaven and earth.” You should think that your families represent all the nations and the world horizontally, at the same time as you represent the universe.
Your families are representatives, vertically, and representative central families, horizontally. They are the highest representative families. They are also the center of the horizontal world on earth.
With such a heart, you can enter the heavenly kingdom and live as members of the royal family attending God and the king. You should know that place is the Kingdom of God in heaven. (261-317, 1994.7.24) |
