This is an edited version of Rev. Moon’s speech given on his USA 4-City tour to New York, Washington D.C., Chicago and Los Angeles, June 25-28, 2005. Theme: Now is God’s Time. Title: God’s Peace Kingdom is the Eternal Homeland for All Blessed Families.

Respected leaders of the United States: I am grateful that so many of you could gather here today, in spite of your busy public schedules. I would like to read to you an excerpt from one of my prayers given 47 years ago, in 1948:
"Loving Father, thank you for the grace by which you have protected your humble son, who has fought since childhood so that Heaven may not suffer humiliation and insult.

"Even the finest things of this earth are worthless when measured against the original heart by which You act. Considering this, we should feel boundless longing to stand in a position where we can connect to Your heart. A person who encounters Your true love could lose the entire world and don't miss it.

"Beloved Father, we must now establish the ideal world, our original homeland, where Your love saturates every person's life. During our earthly lives we must prepare for the day when we will make the transition into the new life as Your liberated children, inhabiting a realm of freedom there. Just as a child must be healthy in the womb for it to be healthy during its life in this world, we must lead wholesome lives in this world, if we are to be healthy and complete after entering heaven. Nevertheless, the world in which we live today is under the dominion of evil and therefore is full of contradictions. Thus the only way that Heaven and earth can support us in our endeavors, and the only way we can harmonize with the dynamic ebb and flow of the universe, is if we are victorious over ourselves to the extent that we are ready to give our lives.

"Loving Father, You have toiled throughout history to create a new springtime of hope for us. Let us recognize that, in order to greet the new spring, our lives must be bound to Your life. We must assimilate ourselves completely into You and be absorbed into You. Allow us the certain knowledge that this is the only way to receive Your spring and break forth as Your beautiful blossoms.

"Help us to also understand that just as a tree that blossoms in spring must pass through summer and autumn before it bears fruits, so too our lives must pass through a certain process before we can bear fruit. No matter how long it takes, or how stormy the environment, we cannot allow our inner self to be invaded. We must continue a course of steady development. This is the only way we can reach the next spring as a mother's body for a new life, a mature seed ready to be sown in the fertile soil.

"Though we may appear shabby and wretched, we must not forget that we are people whose internal form is as a crystal, capable of gathering the infinite life force to be planted as life-bearing seeds in the infinite world. I beseech You that we always remember, in the face of difficulties, that the more pitiful our external appearance, the more significant and substantial is our internal value. "We know, loving Father, that anyone whose heart is not overflowing with longing to attend You and bow down before You will be unable to bond with You in that eternal world. Let us open our hearts now, so that we may feel your heart. Let us hear Your voice today as it wells up within our hearts, so that we may establish our lives in your truth. Let us appreciate with our whole hearts, so that we may establish our lives in Your truth. Let us appreciate with our whole heart the tragic course You walked as You struggled behind the scenes of history to reclaim each one of us. Of our own accord, we bow our heads in Your presence.

Amen!"

Respected leaders, what is the first attribute of truth? It is that it is eternal and unchanging. If I truly have received the anointing of Heaven as the Savior, Messiah, Second Coming and True Parents who have appeared on earth to save humanity, then the word that I teach must not change. It must be the same as 40 years ago.

The Bible records a 4,000 year providence that includes Noah’s, Abraham’s, Moses’ and Jesus’ families. The mistakes made in those families were not events extending over several decades. Those who erred did so in a single moment and fated their descendants, peoples and nations to a path of indemnity extending over a thousand years of history.

As people of faith, we must understand how to eradicate evil and advance goodness in the context of our own life; how we are living each moment according to God’s will.

You may not understand about the spirit world, but through God’s grace, I came to know that unknown world with certainty. It operates on a simple principle. Those who live for others go to Heaven and those who live selfishly go to hell. It is our destiny to return to the original homeland lost by Adam and Eve.

Living for the sake of others is the essence of true love. Religion helps by teaching sacrifice and service. The ultimate goal of life is to possess God’s love completely. True love is the core of God’s being. It is to be possessed by a man and a woman together. The place filled with true love is the ideal Kingdom of Heaven.

Because of the fall, Satan’s blood lineage has passed to all people. He is the false parent. You must go back to God through the True Parents. You must inherit God’s love, life and lineage. This is only possible through the Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony. This is not a religious rite of the Unification Church alone, but grace from God.

There are three reasons why God create man in material form: 1), for Him to be the Parent of all material existence and humankind. He wanted to be a being with form. 2), Being invisible, He cannot produce children (human beings) of His perfect image by Himself. Human parents are necessary to populate (create citizens of) the ideal Kingdom.

Respected leaders of the United States, we are now entering a glorious age. The Kingdom of Heaven on earth is being established before your eyes. Heaven called me to walk this lonely path soaked with blood, sweat and tears. I have come as the True Parent of humankind with God’s anointing, and I am determined to keep my promise to Him to create a united world of peace.

As I stand here today, on this platform, I propose that a bridge be built over (or a tunnel under) the Bering Strait that separate North America and Russia. This will create the world super highway starting from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa to Santiago in Chile, and from London to New York; making the world a single community. With the completion of this project, humankind will be one step closer to the Peace Kingdom where there is no more war. Please become wise leaders who will set new coordinates for your lives.

Thank you.
