Sun Myung Moon, January 1, 1967, Korea, church headquarters
quotes from the speech
The principle of restoration through indemnity is the iron rule. However, no one wants to welcome it. This is because all the forces of Satan become one and fight, creating an environment of betrayal. We must completely subjugate them, and for this, we must have a shimjeong full of love. Then, based on these conditions, we must horizontally recreate the vertical history of the providence of restoration.
To become a winner, you must go through the thorny path of fighting. To win a battle, you must first feel the bitterness of defeat and hostility towards the enemy. The history of the providence of restoration teaches us the sorrow of being a loser. In the Unification Church, we have learned to first experience the bitter taste of defeat in order to be able to fully experience the joy of tomorrow's victory.
When you receive something from Heaven, you should consider whether it is something Heaven wants to give you or something it did not want. When you receive something that Heaven does not want to give you, you must accept it with the thought that you will repay tenfold what you received. And what Heaven wanted to give us, we must accept with the thought that we will pass it on to our descendants for many generations to come. We must not just satisfy our greed.
