EAST COAST CHURCH

• Spir world told them to connect with a women's Christian spiritual group on the west coast. Mr. Paek - walk the 130 miles coast without shoes. Bare footed he came, to meet the lady who was the leader of the west coast group. God wanted to unite these two groups on the family and tribal levels.

• Father met Mr. Kim in November 1945 (three months after the liberation from the Japanese) and stayed and worked in his church for six months. Father did not speak of the Principle, but served the church in a humble way by doing the most menial tasks.

• TRIBAL LEVEL – F/M two churches and represented the restoration of the archangel and Eve.

• Mrs. Ho Ho Bin (Inside Belly Church) a larger number, including Mother's mother, moved to Mrs. Ho's group

• prepare for a final mission. Because Mrs. Ho understood the "fall of man," she told her husband that he was in the archangelic position, requiring of him many many difficult tests to indemnify the archangel.

• those who would receive the Lord must solve the resentments of Jesus prior to his second coming. The Ho church was to solve this resentment by preparing the best princely clothes and food for Jesus - enough that he could have three banquet-style meals a day and clothes (both Korean and Western) to change every three days from birth to 33 years of age.

West Coast Church

• Mrs. Ho was told to make clothes and prepare food in the same way for the Lord of the Second Advent. They were given the specific sizes for each age. When they brought food to serve to this unknown "Lord" they were told to bow 300, sometimes even 3,000 times, which took ten hours

West Coast Church


• Mrs. Ho's unusual sect became known throughout Korea as the Bokjungkyo church (Inside Belly Church) a constant reminder that the Lord to come was to be born as a physical man from his mother's womb.

• Father secretly sent a note to her on a piece of paper hidden in a rice bowl “deny the revelations she had received and to pray to find out who had written the note”

West Coast Church

• She could not accept Father's request that she deny her revelations and be released

• The great foundation of faith which had been made through Mrs. Kim and Mrs. Ho was never connected to the Lord they so longed to meet.

• Had they recognized and obeyed the Messiah there, history would be different.

• In 1950 when the Korean war broke out, long-suffering members of the Inside Belly Church were sent to concentration camps in North Korea and eventually killed!

West Coast Church

• The blessing of the inheritance of their foundation was passed on to Mother alone. Mrs. Hong (Mother's mother) was involved with this group.


• Those spiritual groups existed solely to receive revelations from God to prepare the way for the Lord of the Second Advent here on earth, and to search to find the heavenly bride.



• Mother having been overcome with tears, Father explained: “Mother is very sorrowful because looking back to those days she remembers the impossible tribulation that those people, including Mother's own mother, went through.




• Those people who were receiving God's revelations had to suffer in so many incredible ways.





• They paved the way of indemnity and many died in very unfortunate circumstances, sometimes in prison. Mother continued: “I was also sorrowful to once again think that those heavenly chosen instruments who were absolutely dedicated to God's revelations and whose one hope was to some day meet the Messiah never saw that day. God had precisely unfolded to the His plan for sending His son here on earth, and under untold hardships they prepared for the day of the Lord.

God had precisely unfolded to the His plan for sending His son here on earth, and under untold hardships they prepared for the day of the Lord. • But unfortunately they did not see that day, and one after another they died away. Yet their mission continued on for three generations. As the culmination of one group which had such revelations, I was born. The final spiritualist to inherit the mission of unfolding God's plan to send His son here on earth recognized me at the age of six, and said that I would be the bride of the Lord.

Restoration Process

• "The Lord of the Second Advent must restore the three lost disciples of Jesus. These three disciples will be the restored archangels. After that he will restore Eve.“ /SMM 27 Dec 1971

Restoration Process


• The two groups were to unite. Father said "If (Father) can restore one man, from the spiritual group, by that he can restore all the conditions for the restoration of Eve.“

Restoration Process



• had this group united with him, then a second Christian group would have been found which was united with the Christian ministers, representing the growth stage centered on Christianity. This Christian center would have in turn connected with the government becoming the formation stage group. At this time Korea had no president and no government yet – this formation stage (Old Testament), growth stage (New Testament), and perfection stage (Second Advent) providence would have provided a government.

• Since unity was not made, Father went to North Korea in 1946 where he found Won Pil Kim and three women who played the role of the four people who had been prepared to unite in South Korea.

• Mother also inherited the blessing of the foundation of Mrs. Ho's church. • These two great foundations of faith were finally united in our True Parents, and from this beginning they took the mission to unite Christianity to the next level, the worldwide level.

Unification Church



• In 1971 Father said, "America is the archangelic nation in the he democratic world.“

Unification Church



• In 1971 Father said, "America is the archangelic nation in the he democratic world." • In order to fulfill the mission of restoring one nation there are two areas of focus. One is the Principle which will unite the Christians and the other is anti-communists theory to end communism. These "two works must unite in America. The work to restore Christians must be done in America, and also to prevent communist domination.“

• So in 1985, on the foundation of his work and tremendous sacrifice in America, Father again asks us to take up the cross of Christianity, bring it into unity, and reach out to the non-religious world, in order to bring all God's children home to where our True Parents dwell as savior of us all.
