Our Real Father Who Has Truly Begotten Us


t
hank you very much. Please open chapter 3, what is the title? Our Real Father Who Has Truly Begotten Us. This real relationship cannot be achieved by adopting somebody and changing the written documents even many times. Even if one makes scores of documents to father a child, he cannot make him his real child. Only a baby who comes out of a parent’s body can be his own child. Only when one begets a child can they be real Father and real Son. So the fact that God is our Real Father, means that He truly begot us with His own body. We have to confirm this certain fact by looking up at the Bible. Please read the genealogy there.
Reader: [Jesus, when He began His ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi... the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalleel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God] (Luke 3:23-38, R.S.V.).
Speaker: Yes, If we trace back our original genealogy, who do you find is our real Father who begot us?
Reader: God
Speaker: Yes, that’s why He is our real Father. To rephrase this,
Reader: “Jesus’ father is Joseph, whose father is Heli, whose father is Matthat, whose father is Levi ... whose father is Noah, whose father is Lamech, whose father is Methuselah, whose father is Jared whose father is Mahalaeel, whose father is Cainan, whose father is Enos, whose father is Seth, whose father is Adam, whose Father is God.”
Speaker: Who is our Real Father?
Reader: God.
Speaker: Yes, God is our Real Father. There is no way to deny this fact. So to put it still in another way, it means that,
Reader: “Jesus’ was born of Joseph, born of Heli, born of Matthat, born of Levi ..., born of Noah, born of Lamech, born of Methuselah, born of Enoch, born of Mahalaleel, born of Cainan, born of Enos, born of Seth, born of Adam, born of God.”
Speaker: Is God our Real Father?
Reader: Amen!
Speaker: Yes, there is no way to deny this fact. If God has not begotten us, then where have we come out from? Since we came out to this world, somebody must have begotten us. Isn’t that right? So this world exists by reality not by any abstract idea. There is a certain fact through which this whole universe exists. Even if we read this way and the other way, this is an undoubted fact that God is our real Father who begot us. Some people say, “Ah, but in Genesis 1:26 God said, [Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness.] How come you say God begot us?” This is a wrong expression in the Bible. One who wrote the Bible made a mistake. Ok, in Genesis 1:26 it says, “Let us make man in our image.” It should have been written this way, “Let us beget man in Our image, after Our likeness.” It was wrongly expressed. However, I don’t have any clear idea whether Moses expressed it the correct way and people mistranslated it or Moses made a mistake. I’m not sure. Anyway, you can find out whether I am in the wrong or the Bible is in the wrong.
In the second chapter, you learned already that the Two God’s abandoned the heavenly throne and came down to this earth suffering all kinds of shame and disgrace in order to save their children here. They even suffered a dreadful agony. Do you believe all of these? Then, can there be a king in the world who will lay down his life in order to find something that he made with his hands? How can he lay down his life for something he made? There cannot be anybody like that. Then, how can the God of heaven and Jesus the Son lay down their lives suffering from such dreadful agony? Why was that? Because we are Their real sons and daughters otherwise, how could They do that? So if we only believe all the sacrifices that our Father and Jesus went through, we can never deny the fact that God is our Real Father. If we were not His real children how could He lay down His life like that? If we have been a piece of sculpture, how could He do that for us?
OK, please look at the chalkboard here. This is the Milky Way to which we belong. This is the Milky Way galaxy. Do you know how high the Milky Way is from the bottom to the top? Do you know how far it is from us? It is 15,000 light years far from us. If we walk even for 15,000 years, it will be a tremendous distance. But if we travel from the top to the bottom with the speed of light, still we need 15,000 light years. Can you imagine how far it is? What about the diameter? It is 100,000 light years. Even if we keep on traveling for thousands of generations, we cannot reach the other end. How many stars are there inside this galaxy? The astronomers discovered a hundred billions stars inside this Milky Way. Then how many galaxies are there in this universe? There are even hundred billions of galaxies like this in the universe. So a while ago, the astronomers declared that it is nonsense to try to understand the size of the universe.
In the Bible it says, [Lift up your eyes and see who made all these things.] Has Confucius made all these things? Has Buddha made this? Has anybody in the universe made this? If you really want to understand the mystery of this universe, you must come to our Father who made them. That’s why our Daddy said in the Bible, that the size of this earth is just like the size of a drop of water floating on the air. Compared to the universe, this earth is just like a drop of water flying in the air, or the grain of sand. Then how big do you think we are? How big do you think the heavenly beings can see us, when we are sleeping here? Probably, the heavenly beings must use a very strong and extremely powerful telescope to find us. They have to look through a microscope in order to find us saying, “There is Mr. So there.” So we are much smaller than Adam. In spite of being so little particle of dust, people pretend to know everything and they are so proud. I hope you just be humble in the sight of God. We are totally ignorant when we stand before God. We must be like little children in the sight of God, the King of the universe. We must humble ourselves and listen to Him with all our empty hearts. We should not be so foolish to be proud of knowing something.
In such a small globe as this earth, there are lots of animals and people who have their babies, then let’s just think about how they have babies respectively animals and birds and people. Among all the animals, the cows are closer to us because they always help us. So let’s think about how cows have babies. The baby cow stays in the womb of the mother for about ten months and come out through the reproductive organ. As they come, they drink a white liquid from their mother’s breast and they grow.
What about flying birds like chickens? The mother hen lays eggs in just one day. She does not keep the eggs inside her egg sect for ten months. She just lays eggs in one day. However, when they come out, they are not like a little baby. They are like just pieces of stone. Then, the mother has to brood on them for about twenty days. So the eggs are born again. In other words, the baby chicken is born twice before coming out to this earth. As soon as they come out, what do they eat? Do they drink milk? No! They eat the same coarse foods that the mother hen eats. Yet, they never complain about indigestion. Now, the way running animals begot their children and the way flying birds have their children, is it similar? No! They are totally different. Even if they try to make them look similar, that is totally impossible. The way running animals have children and the flying animals have children, is completely different. That is why they cannot understand the way they have children respectively. The cows can never understand they way birds have children and the birds can never understand the way cows have children because they are completely different from each other. That is why they are always fighting. They are always arguing with one another for thousands of years now. All those sparrows say, “Hey, look at those cows! Ah, they are not their real children. Look at us. Shouldn’t they also have pretty eggs like ours? How come their little babies come out immediately and they start running as soon as they come out. Ah, they are not their real children.” But the cow also say the same way toward birds, “Hey, look at the birds. How funny it is. How come they lay something like a stone and they say that they are their babies? Should they not have babies like ours, and give them milk like we do.” The running animals and the flying birds always argue with one another because they don’t understand. Even though this earth is so small, so tiny compared to the universe, the way running animals and flying birds beget their offspring is completely different from each other. Then how can we expect the God of heaven who is the King of the universe have the same way of having children as we do? Since He is the creator God, He must have a different way of having children from the way we do. But even though the running animals and flying birds have a complete different way of having children, there is one common characteristic. What? Even though they have a completely different way of having children, the result is the same. In other words, they have babies which exactly resemble their parents, right?
Likewise, the way we have our children and the way God has His children must be completely different from each other. However, there is one common characteristic. The baby who comes out from the mother must resemble his mother or father. Likewise, even though the way our Father, the King of heaven has His children is different, His children must resemble Him. That is one common characteristic even though they have totally different way of having children.
There are lots of teachers today who say, “Ah, human beings evolved from the apes.” Some other people say, “human beings come from amoeba.” There are lots of funny teachings in the world like that. As we learned already, whom do we resemble? We resemble our Father, the King of the universe. Our nose, our face, eyes, ears, our hands, and feet, everything resembles our Father. Why do we resemble Him? Why? Because we are born of Him. That’s why in the book of Psalms God said, “Do you think I am like you? How come you misunderstand me? I have my own children in my own way as you have your own way of having children. But my children resemble me, just as your children resemble you.”
In Malachi 2:10, it says “Do we not have only one Father?” Yes, the entire universe has only one Father. Although they are all different in color, they have only one Father. Although we have different faces and color, we have only one Father. Why? Because we came out from one Father. Even though this earth is extremely small compared to the universe, there are so many different ways of having children. Then how can we foolishly expect our Father to have the same way of having children as we do? It is totally nonsense to expect Him like that. Please read Ps. 2:7.
Reader: [I will declare the decree.]
Speaker: [I will declare the decree,] who is this ‘I’? Do you believe that this ‘I’ is our Father, the King of the universe? The King of the universe has declared this [The Lord has said to Me.] Who is the Lord? Do you believe that ‘the Lord’ refers to the God of the universe who created everything? Do you believe that ‘the Lord’ does not refer to any idea, or any theory? ‘The Lord’ refers to the King of the universe who created heaven and earth. [The Lord has said to Me,] do you believe that our Father is saying to it us, to ‘me’? What did He say?
[You are my son.]
You are my pig? No, [You are my son, my daughter. Go ahead.
Reader: [Today I have begotten you.]
When?
[Today, I have begotten you.] Will you accept this word of our Father? Then, do you now understand why I said that Genesis 1:26 was wrongly expressed? God Himself declared that [I begot you] but in Genesis 1:26, Moses wrote down that God ‘made’ us in His own image. Of course, I said that I’m not sure whether Moses wrote down wrongly or people translated it in a wrong way. In the Bible, God said “I will follow My children down through the ages to teach them in My own way correctly. That’s why in Psalms it says, ‘I have begotten you.’ When God said to David directly that He has begotten him (David), he wrote down that God begot him. When he wrote it down, our Father was so much pleased with that expression.
Let me clarify again about this fact. What I am most afraid of during this meeting is that you sleep this hour. Because this is the most important hour you should never miss even a single word. Please listen carefully. Please look at the chalk board. The biggest one is the sun, the second biggest one is the moon, the smallest one is the earth. This one is a bird and this one is a running animal. Our Father created the sun in the beginning. Do you know that the sun is one million and three hundred thousand times bigger than the earth? Then, do you think that when God created the sun, He made it just like making a snowman in winter? Do you think that to make the sun, our Father rolled a huge lump of mud in the beginning saying, “Ah, how heavy it is,” wiping His sweat on His forehead? Did He make the sun like that? What about the earth? Since the earth is so small, did He flick it with His hand? Since the moon also is so small, did He just toss it with His feet? Did He make the moon like that? How did God make the sun, the moon, and the earth? How did He create them? He just commanded them to be created. Then, has God’s holy body touched them or not? Never! He only commanded them to be created. Right? As soon as He commanded them to be created they all came out. So I hope that you accept this fact. I hope you accept the living God into your heart before going back.
What about the running animals like elephants? Did God our Father make them saying, “Since the elephant’s nose should be longer, I have to pull it out like this. Did He pull out his nose like this? Since the hippopotamus has a flat mouth, did he push it like this? How did God make all those animals? He only commanded all of them to be created. Even thousands of animals and birds, He only commanded them to be created and they all came out. Has our Father’s holy body touched them? No. God’s holy body has never touched them at all. As He commanded them, they all came in obedience. What about people, us, who are much smaller than the sun, the earth, the moon and the running animals like cows and elephants? Did He command us to be created? No! Please read Genesis 2:7.
Reader: [The Lord God formed man out of the dust on the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Speaker: Yes, our Father formed man with the dust of the ground with His own hands. As He formed Adam, He formed him exactly like Him with His hands. From His nose, eyes, abdomen, his legs, his feet, his hands, our Father formed him exactly like Him with the dust of the ground. When our Father made everything else in the world, He was not as happy as when He formed Adam. Our Father was so happy and singing when He was forming Adam. After forming him completely, He looked at him. As He looked at him, he seemed to just spring to his feet saying, “Daddy.” Even though he was not yet breathing, he seemed to be alive completely because He formed him perfectly. Adam looked so beautiful. Why? Because He formed him exactly like Him.
Do you know how nicely the sculptor makes things? I once saw a turtle which was made by a very famous person. As I looked at it, it seemed to be a real living one. So people who saw the turtle was fooled by it. Everybody thought that it was a living turtle. So people brought two living turtles from the sea and put them next to it. Then they let everyone distinguish which one is the living one. Most people said that the living one was the dead one and the dead one was the living one. Everybody became so surprised. How can people, how can human make things so perfectly and nicely? Even if you go to flower stores, people today make artificial flowers so nicely. Some fake flowers are even more beautiful than the real flowers. That’s why when people go to flower shops, they say, “Oh, why don’t you smell the fragrance? It’s so nice!” People say, “Oh, yes. It’s so nice but there is no fragrance.” Because they make fake flowers so nicely, they are fooled by it. They only think that beautiful fragrance come out from it.
Since human beings can make things so perfectly and beautifully, how much more our Father must be able to make something. That is why, as our Father formed Adam, he seemed to be really a living person. He was extremely beautiful. Then, why did our Father formed Adam with His hands? There is a reason. Because God is a Spiritual Being, He could not have a physical child. So in order to bear a physical child, He prepared some soil from the ground. We are physical beings, that is why we cannot bear spiritual children. That is why, in the same way, our Father prepared some dirt. After forming him, He held him in His arms and [breathed into His nostrils the breath of life; and he became a living soul.] Our Father kissed him saying, “You are my son, today I begot you.” From the depth of His heart, He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and he became a living soul.
So our life was not a created. Our life existed since eternal days ago from the body of our Father. The life we have is not that which was created but that which we received from our Father. Everything else in the world has never been touched by our Father, by God. What about our body? From top to the bottom, our whole body was touched by God. That’s why God said, “My children on the earth, they are My most precious children. They are my noble children in whom is all My delight. You are my sons, you are my daughters. All My delights are centered upon you.” So whose lips did our lips touch first? Our lips touched our Father’s lips first. So we should not let anybody touch our lips. We should not kiss anybody in the world. We should not let anybody touch our cheeks. Our body, our cheeks touched our Father’s cheeks first. So we must behave ourselves as the most holy and noble people because our body touched our Father’s body first. Even though we used to live like beasts in the past, now, we must behave ourselves as God’s noblest and holiest children. You should never behave yourselves like beasts from now on. You should never go to those kinds of foul places in the world like prostitutes. If a president’s son goes to prostitutes places, can the president come out to the people? No. He must come down. Since we are the sons and daughters of the Heavenly King, we must behave ourselves as the noblest, holiest, and the most dignified people.
Has our body touched God’s body or not? Yes, we have. Then what does ‘real child’ mean? The bird’s eggs only touched the little part of the mother’s egg sect and just came out and they became real children. Although the egg did not touch the whole body of the mother hen, the fact that the egg touched just a little part of the mother’s body before coming out to this earth, it is regarded as real child. It is the same with running animals. Just because the little baby cow touched the little part of the mother’s womb before coming out to this earth, he became a real child. What about humans? We people also, just because the baby touched the little part of the mother’s womb before coming out to this earth, the baby is a real child. So whatever part it may be, if the baby only touches the mother’s womb before coming out, then he is a real child. Everything in the universe has not touched our Father’s body before being created, but what about us? Nothing but us has touched our Father’s body before coming out to this earth. The eggs touch the mother’s egg sect, the baby of running animals touches the little part of the mother’s womb, and people also touch a little part of the mother’s womb. That’s why they are real children, but what about us? We were all touched by God’s holy body that’s why we are derivative of our Father’s body. Do you understand?
You must listen very carefully this hour. This is the very hour that determines your eternal fate. Depending on whether you accept this real truth or deny this and accept the worldly teaching, your eternal fate will be determined. Your fate will be determined depending on whether you choose to be just drifted away by the water of the heresy of the world or by the real teaching of heaven. So, I am most afraid of your sleeping this hour. You must listen very carefully and you have to choose whether to accept this or not.
Then [God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and he became a living soul.] So our life was not created but it came to us from the body of God. He touched us and we received His life, just as a baby receives life from his mother’s bosom. Just like the baby cow who received life from the mother’s bosom, we also received life from our Father directly. Then, we became a living soul. Living soul means a God with a physical body. What is a child of a rabbit? Yes, it’s a baby rabbit. What is a child of a chicken? It‘s a baby chicken. What is the child of a cow? It’s a baby cow. What about the child of a human? He’s also a human. What about us? If we are God’s real children, then what are we? We are gods! We did not know such a tremendous fact. We have been trampled by Satan, by his false teaching up to now. However our Father said, “Oh! My delight is centered upon my children who were born of Me?”
Even though I am working in the mountain as a farmer, as a woodsman, I always remember how holy and noble person I am. That is why I never join the works of those wicked people of the world. I always do my best to live as a noble Son of God. So when the physical god was born, all the heavenly beings exclaimed for joy. Hasn’t the Bible already said that all of the children of God in the universe exclaimed for joy when we were born? If a piece of sculpture was made then, why should they be so happy? Why should they exclaim like that? Why should they be overjoyed like that? Because the youngest children were born of God, all the heavenly beings were overjoyed. So you must behave yourselves as the most holy and noblest children of God.
Since I teach people like this, do you know what those so called theologians in the world say? They say, “Ah, because Park Myung Ho did not study theology, he so ignorant. The Bible says that God made not only man but also animals with the dust of the ground, how come he said that only man was begotten by God?” Then has our Father made those animals and birds with His hands, with the dust of the ground? Of course in Genesis 2:19 the Bible says, that God also made them out of the ground but He did not form them with His hands. He only commanded them to be created from the same ingredients of the ground but He did not form them with His hands. Only us, nothing but us were formed by His hands being touched by His holy body. Of course those animals and birds also have skin, bone, and blood just as we do. But if you regard their bones, their blood and their bodies as the same as our, it is a fatal mistake. Even though those dogs, pigs and cows have skin, bones, and blood, theirs are completely different from ours. Although they were made from the same ingredients, they were created by God’s words. But we were born of Him, our body is derived from His body. So we are His derivatives.
Those running animals, flying birds, and dogs were made to be our toys to make us happy. They are not God’s children. We also make toys for our children. We make some kind of motors inside then put batteries in them to make them move and our children are happy. Likewise, our Father animated them in order to make us happy. But instead of making motor and put batteries inside them, our Father animated them in the beginning by giving them life. However, their life is completely different from our life.
Before a mother would have a baby, the parents prepare diapers, the baby’s play things and everything in the room. After preparing everything for their child then they have their baby. Likewise, our Father created everything before begetting us in the beginning. That’s why the bodies of animals are completely different from ours. Even though they breathe the same as we do, we should never regard them as the same with us. It is a most fatal mistake to regard them as the same with us.
So, our life has existed since eternal days ago which was in the body of God. Our life was not created; we only received His life from Him. When the Bible says that God created animals, we can just accept it literally. However, when the Bible also says that He created people, we have to accept it as ‘He begot us.’ Because human language is not perfect, sometimes, the Bible says that God created us but we have to accept it as ‘He begot us.’
Satan, our enemy, the enemy of God and His children, is determined to destroy all of God’s children by preventing them from coming to God. He prepared three huge snares to destroy them all. Nobody in the world can escape from these snares. But only those who escape from those three snares of Satan can go up to heaven.
One of the sages in China once said that the human race is captured by several snares and only those who escape from those snares can live forever as an immortal being. He mentioned that the first snare is liquor, drinking. Of course we can get out from liquor and we can just avoid drinking it. It’s no problem. He said that the next one is sex. However, if you say that it’s a sin and if we do not have sex at all then, the human race will disappear completely in just about one generation. So it’s nonsense. The third snare he mentioned is money, riches. It is not a sin but all people became captivated by it. So, he said that only those who get out from those snares can be immortal saints. But there are some people who can easily get out of them with no problem. Who are they? Only God’s real sons and daughters. Those who are truly born of God can escape from them with no problem. I am not trying to explain about what he said. What I am only trying to explain right now is about the three snares that Satan made in order to destroy God’s children in these last days. Because he made these snares, nobody can get out of it. All the theologians, doctors, professors, politician they all got into these snares. Nobody can get out of it. However, only those who can get out of these snares can go to heaven as immortal saints.
So we have been all ensnared by these, we were all fallen into these snares. Then, what are these snares? All of these snares are atheism but created by different people. The first atheism was created by atheists (non Christians, unbelievers.) That is the first snare. The second snare is also an atheism but created by xylophedians (those who acknowledge that there is God.) The third snare is an atheism created by creationists who believed that God created everything. Then, what are these three snares? What do these mean? The first snare,
1. Atheism of atheists - was created by those atheists in the world who do not know God and Jesus. They say, “There is no God, no Jesus, nothing. There is no God but the human race evolved from the ape or from the amoeba or whatever. Anyhow, we came from just something and we are just going away. We are just disappearing if we die.” This is what those worldly teachers in those schools teach. This is how they destroy all our lovely sons and daughters. In schools, they teach their students, “Hey! Compare these skeletons of monkeys and humans. They are so similar. So, human race evolved from the ape.” That is how they teach that they cannot come to God, that there is no God. They say that they have nothing to do with God. All our sons and daughters are destroyed by those false teachers of the world. If they learned from them and grew big, they also become professors in those schools teaching the same theory to people. Those so called schools in the world are destroying all of God’s children now. God’s most precious children are being destroyed by those false teachers in the world, by this first snare. Those people also become ministers and congressmen or president. The second snare,
2. Atheism of the cilopedians - was created by Protestant theologians. Through Protestant theologians, Satan made a snare saying, “There was a God, but He is dead now.” Why? Because He got too old. Majority of theologians in the world today teach that God was alive but He died of old age. Why? Because even though they pray, there is no answer. That’s why they say that God is dead. Since God is such a finite being, can anybody who listened to their doctrine come to God? Through this second snare, Satan destroys all people by preventing them from coming to God. This is the second snare. The third snare,
3. Atheism of creationists - was created by those who believe that God created everything. This was created by the Seventh-Day Adventists people. They say that God created man in the same way as He created animals. So we are the same sort of creatures like the cows, pigs and dogs. So anybody who listens to them cannot come to the bosom of our Father. Why? Because God is only a Creator, whom we cannot approach. He is the creator and we are just creatures just like animals so how can we approach Him? Through these snares, Satan destroyed all of God’s children for six thousand years up to now. That is why all of these three snares, all these false teachings of Satan must be completely eradicated from our heart. Right now is the very moment you are freed from these snares and become immortal beings to live forever with our Father. We must be embraced in our Father’s bosom by escaping from these snares.
This place, at first, was called Noah’s Ark Missionary Institute which was owned by Pastor Nam. At that time, I was surprised when I heard that there was a place called Noah’s ark. “Ah, is there Noah’s ark today? So, as I came here, this place looked like a Noah’s ark. There was one family living here, running this place. So they invited me to come here for them to listen to this message. At that time, pastor Nam was an elder. They were planning on listening to this message with only their family members and some other friends, about twenty people. Because all the religions in the world became corrupt and rotten, his family was trying to live according to God’s Word. They used to teach people to live according to God’s Word. So his family was living here just striving to live according to God’s Word. At that time, there was no song book, no Eternal Life book like this. I was only spreading this message by myself with nothing. But our Father gathered people Himself. Because this is God’s Word, He was doing His work Himself. So, they thought that they were going to have a meeting with about twenty people but as I came here, there showed up about ninety people. Ninety people suddenly showed up here and there was no room big enough to hold them. How could his family feed them for ten days? They had no idea how to do it. There was only a small room which could accommodate only about fifteen people. However, when the meeting started, those ninety seven people all got into the room. They all squeezed into the room anyhow. I thought that many people would be sitting outside but everybody came in. It was about a week’s seminar at that time. It was at the beginning of this work.
About seven days later, the SDA pastors and elders came here to destroy this meeting. As soon as they came, they called elder Nam and his wife saying, “Hey, you are an elder of SDA church. How come you invited a heretic and have a meeting here? You have to chase him.” So Elder Nam and his wife said, “As we listened to His message for seven days, we now became assured that this is the real and true message from heaven. So you must listen to this first.” As they tried to destroy this, they were even surprised with that attitude. As they found that they could not change their minds, they just called me saying, “Hey, let Park Myung Ho come up here. Hey, Myung Ho Park, come up here!” How could this Son of God obey the words of those people who do not even know God? It was so funny. Then I prayed, “Father, shall I come to them or not?” So my Father told me, “Why don’t you just go up to them? I am going to let you defeat them just like one person.” Every time there was God’s fight, our Father always made His children destroy all enemies just like one person. Because my Father told me to go up there, I just went up there. There was a small room and there were 14 pastors and elders who came. Including Bro. Nam couple, there were sixteen of them in the room. As I got into the room, there was no place for me to sit so they told me to sit right in the middle. They probably regarded me as a honey pot to be set right in the middle of the table. So I just sat down. One of the pastors began to argue with me. What he said was so infantile, so childish so I could not even communicate with him. They themselves found that it was too childish. Somebody else said,
“Hey, why don’t you talk with me then?”
So I said, “Go ahead then.”
He said, “I heard that you teach people that God begot us through His womb, is that right?”
I said, “Of course, why not?”
“Then, do you think that God created people in the same way as He created cows, pigs, and dogs?”
He said, “Of course!”
So I continued, “Then, why should we only call God, ‘Father, Father? Why should not cows, pigs, and dogs also call God ‘Father, Father?” Should not pigs also call God Father saying, “Oink, oink, Father, Father?” Why should we only call God, ‘Father, Father?”
This is the most tremendous blasphemy against God. What a blasphemous people they are. You should never be fooled by them. You should never commit blasphemy like that. They are regarding God as the same Father of cows, pigs, and dogs. They are disgracing God like that. You should never be fooled by their false teachings. As I gave this question to them, they all became speechless. Fourteen of them could not open their mouth. The mouth of everybody became completely shut up. If God created us in the same way as cows, pigs, and dogs, He must be a Father of cows, pigs, and dogs also. They all became speechless and they all rose up saying, “Let’s just go back.” Just as my Father has said, I defeated them just like one person. My Father’s word was just fulfilled. As I looked at their back when they were going away, they looked so pitiful. They were the very people who were supposed to receive this message and spread it to the world. Because they rejected it, because they became mediums of Satan, our Father had to choose an ignorant person like me who is uneducated in the world. As I looked at them, I became so choked with tears. Why should they be mediums of Satan like that? Why should our Father work through somebody like me? As I looked at them, they looked so pitiful. I became so frustrated.
So through these snares, Satan taught all people that there is no God. Through the first snare he said, “There is no God. Human race evolved from the ape or from the amoeba.” If this is true that people evolved from the ape, then there must be some kind of instance like this today also. Monkeys must become men these days also. There must be great news on TV or radio saying, “Ah, in such a place in Africa, the monkeys are becoming men right now.” There must be news like this, “Amoeba is becoming a man right now. But even if thousand of years pass by, people are people and monkeys are monkeys.
Second snare: Through protestant theologians, they teach that God was alive but He is dead now.
The third snare, through the creationists (SDA), they teach people that God is the Father of cows, pigs, and dogs also. We cannot even dare approach Him. We must just bow down before Him. We cannot be embraced in His bosom. We have to call Him, ‘Almighty God’ submitting to Him. Then how can anybody be embraced in His bosom and live with Him forever. If we fear Him, how can we live with Him forever? We must escape from all these three snares of Satan. I hope you be God’s real sons and daughters who escape from all of these and live with Him forever.
Long time ago, when I was young, my parents told me to just leave home because they hated Jesus. So I just left home and went to an orphanage to work there. As I went to the orphanage, all the orphans there call the director ‘father’ and his wife, ‘mother.’ As I went there the first time, it was beautiful. Everybody was calling him ‘father’ and his wife ‘mother.’ Few days later, I saw the director beating them up so mercilessly. So I said, “Why do you have to beat them up so cruelly?” He said, “Children like these must be beaten up, otherwise they will not be corrected.” I was so surprised. On the previous day, I was amazed with their beautiful way of calling them but the next day, I was surprised with his cruel treatment of them. Ok, even though everybody called him ‘father’ and ‘mother,’ who will inherit their inheritance? Who will have the birthright? Only their real sons and daughters. Only the real children who were born of them will inherit their possessions. Even though the orphans called them ‘father’ and mother’, it is of no use. It is the same with us.
When my father died, four of his sons were all crying. When we were crying, there showed up somebody whom we did not know. He was crying with us. As I looked at him, he was his foster son. However, he did not receive any inheritance when my father died. He gave everything to only four of us. So only real children can receive the birthright, the inheritance, and everything. Foster children are not given any inheritance. How do Christian world today call God? They call God ‘Father.’ Yes, how beautiful it is. Then, does our Father give His possessions to them? No! Why? Because they are not His real children. Do you understand?
Galatians 4:30, 31. [Nevertheless what does the scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.]
Yes. [Nevertheless what does the] Bible [say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”] This is about Abraham’s two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. Isaac was born of Sarah, his true wife. He was born with the pure blood of his real father and mother. Ishmael was born of Abraham’s blood with the blood of one his slaves. That is why his blood was not pure blood. So when the time came, it was declared, [Cast out the bondwoman and her son] Ishmael, [for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.’] Why the Bible does recorded this story? Not merely to tell us an interesting story but to teach us that this history must be fulfilled in the last days. The entire Christian world today all call God, ‘Father, Father.’ Then, who begot them? Our Father begot them but whose blood do they have? Their blood is mixed with the blood of servants of the Lord. They all call themselves, ‘servants of God.’ So their blood is mixed with the blood of servants. That is why God said, “Cast out the bondwoman and her children.” Only the children of the freewoman, the children of the real father and mother will inherit the kingdom.
So when Jesus came also, our Father and Jesus forsook the entire Christian world at that time. Jesus said to just few of His disciples, “Do not be afraid. Do not fear them for your Father is pleased to give His kingdom to you alone.” He will give His inheritance to you alone. Do you believe that His declaration is fulfilled here also? This is not merely a lecture to be heard with joy. This is the lecture which will determine our eternal fate. So all those people whose blood is mixed with the blood of servants shall be cast out. Only those who have the pure blood of our Father will inherit His Kingdom.
Although all the orphans called the director, ‘father,’ only his real children inherit everything. Likewise, we must be His real children with no mixture of blood of servants of God in the world. Do you know what is the biggest wish of Christians in the world today? Every time they have children, do you know what they say? “Ah, I wish my child will be a servant of God.” Why? Because if only one becomes a servant of God, pastors or clergymen, they live very wealthy life. They don’t have to work so hard. They only go around. They can just preach sometimes and go anywhere traveling. If they just behave themselves, then lots of money keeps coming to them. It is so nice occupation. What a nice job. I hope you be happy for not having made your children servants of God. Why? For the servants of God cannot be saved. Servants cannot be saved. No matter how hard they work, they are servants. They do not receive any inheritance. No matter how diligent a servant maybe, can the owner of the house give his inheritance to him? No! Even if he lives or dies, he is a servant. Even if he plays or work hard, he is a servant. What about the real child? Even if he always plays around, even if he does not do anything, he is a real child. He receives all the inheritance from his father no matter what happens. No matter how smart a congressman or a minister maybe, the king does not give his throne to them. The king gives his throne to only his son. Why cannot the slave be saved? What did He say in John 8:35.
[The slave does not abide in the house forever.]
Yes, [The slave does not abide in the house forever.]
[But a son abides forever.]
Yes, only a real child will abide forever. Who said this?
Jesus.
God’s servants can never enter heaven.
Galatians 5:1. [Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.]
Yes. Therefore, stand fast and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Do you understand? Many pastors came this time. I hope you never be treated as servants of God but be real sons of God. Then, you will be the very heirs of heaven.
If anybody prays for me in public saying, “Oh, Father, please give blessing to the servant of God on the pulpit.” I feel so upset. I never want to be called a ‘servant of God.’ But if anybody prays for me saying, “Oh, Father, please give blessing and health to your Son on the pulpit.” Then I feel so happy. I want to say, “Amen, Amen.” So I hope you be true sons and daughters of God and inherit all things of heaven.
From now on, when you pray in public, I hope you call God, ‘Real Father’ or ‘Daddy.’ Of course in the world, children do not call their parents, “Real father.’ They never call their parents like that. Then, why did I tell you to call God, ‘Real Father or Daddy?’ It is because we have been dragged and brain-washed by Satan so we have to break it into pieces. I told you to call Him ‘Father’ to emphasize that you are God’s real sons and daughters. How come you don’t say ‘Amen’? If you are ashamed to call Him ‘real Father’ then you don’t have to. I am going to call Him ‘real Father’ only by myself. What did Jesus say? If you are ashamed to confess that you are God’s real child and God is your real Father, then I will also be ashamed to call you ‘My real child.’ But if you are not ashamed to call Me your ‘real Father’, then I will not be ashamed to call you ‘My real child’ also in the presence of the heavenly beings.
In old times, there was a farmer in Korea who did not receive any education in the world. He was a farmer who had to work hard all his lifetime. So he made a strong decision never to make his child a farmer but to give him the best education to find the best job without physical labor. Because he was a farmer, it was extremely hard to make money for his school tuition. Of course it was not that hard for those people who own big businesses to send their children to university but it is extremely hard for farmers to just do farming to make money for their school tuition. So this man went through so many hardships to send his child to university. He was just living like a beggar without being able to eat good food, without being able to wear nice suit. He gave all his money to his son. After graduation, his son got a job in the city hall.
One day, the mayor of the city visited his house. As the city mayor was drinking in the living with this son, his father came into the house. Because he was working in the farm, his body was completely full of mud. As he looked at his father, his father was exactly like a beggar. So the mayor asked him, “Who is that?” He felt so ashamed to say that he was his father. His prestige will be ruined if he would say that. So even though he felt a little bit bad, he said, “Ah, he is one of our farm servants.” After the mayor went back, he found out that he lied. So the mayor immediately called him saying, “I know the story about your father. In order to send you to university, your father had gone through all kinds of hardships. He could not eat good food, could not wear good suit. How come you said that your father is one of your farmer servants? Our city hall does not need anybody like you.” Then, the city mayor fired him. I hope you do not be ashamed of calling God your ‘real Father. If you go back home, people in your churches will say,
“Where have you been?”
“Oh, I have been to Elijah Gospel Missionary Institute.”
“What? How come you came to that heretic place?”
Then you can just say, “Yes, I have met my real Daddy there. What is wrong with that?” As somebody who attended this meeting went back home, he shouted to his children, “Oh, my children. I met my real Daddy.” He was at a loss how to express his joy of having met our real Daddy.
During the battle in Korea, many families were broken. Many years later, they were able to meet each other. That moment, they were at a loss how to express their joy for having found their mother and father. Why should we remain so calm like this?
Scores of years ago, North Korea took South Korea airplane. Terrorists from North Korea came down and they took away the airplane with lots of passengers inside. So all their family members and friends in South Korea were crying, “Oh, my father! Oh, my mother! Oh, My son!” They were kidnapped by the terrorists of North Korea. So the terrorists took everything valuable and sent back the passengers barehanded. These days, the economy of North Korea is extremely bad. That is probably one of the reasons why they took the plane and everything good from them. However, even though the passengers were just coming out with bare hands, their family members became so overjoyed running to them.
So there was a couple running to meet their son. As their son was coming to them, they were so happy and hugged him. The mother and father were hugging him saying, “Oh my son, you came back safely.” However, instead of saying, “Yes mom, I came back,” he was just quiet. He did not say anything. He looked like crazy. He was just looking at them without saying anything. So the parents said, “Why don’t you call me ‘father’? What happened to you? What is wrong with you?” Because he received electric shocks in North Korea, he became mentally ill. He became a dummy. As we came to our Daddy also, He is so overjoyed now as He saw our physical bodies. But after coming to Him, if we do not say anything to Him, we will be the same as that person. Why don’t you say, “Daddy, now I came to you.” Then, He will embrace you in His bosom and He will be overjoyed.
Before Jesus came, all people were so much afraid of God. Why? Because they learned about God in a false way from those Jewish leaders who used to teach them, “You must call God ‘Almighty God. You should not call Him, ‘real Father’. But when Jesus came, He taught them to call God, Father.
Our heavenly Father too has redeemed our beautiful faces and bodies in this hour. Yet, how distressed He would be if we did not return to Him in our hearts and call Him, "Real Daddy"! Let us joyfully go out to our real Father whom we have met for the first time in thousands of years and call Him "Daddy," and say, "Daddy, I'm here."”(John 5:18, Gal. 4:6, Korean Common Translation Bible) Our Father does not want money, worship, or anything else from us. Just hearing us calling Him, "Real Daddy!" in our hearts will suffice. Then, He will say, "Yes, I'm your real Father who begot you," and embrace us tightly. He will be so happy He will not know what to do.
In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus said, "Our Father in heaven...." Before Jesus came to this earth two thousand years ago, no one in the world had ever offered such a prayer. The Jews, the rabbis, and the priests in Jerusalem prayed in formality, "High and lofty God," or "Almighty God."
However, Jesus came and taught His disciples, "Do not pray like that. Instead, pray, 'Our Father in heaven,' or 'My Father.'" For four thousand years, God had become weary of those formal and abominable prayers. When His real children prayed, "Our Father," it is written that it sounded like music to His ears. Though such a large order as the Jews called out day and night, there was no answer to their prayers. However, when Jesus' small group prayed in the upper room, God answered them immediately because they prayed in a way that pleased Him. That was how they were able to receive the amazing, great blessing of the Holy Spirit descending on the Pentecost. Even when we say, "Our Father," it sounds like music to His ears; if His last children call Him "Real Daddy," it will probably sound like a canon to Him. Real Daddy will immediately embrace His youngest children and say, "Yes, ['You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased. You are My Son, today I have begotten you.']" (Luke 3:22, Psa. 2:7) My beloved brothers and sisters, I hope all of you will be able to experience this joyful, touching reunion.
[Therefore, do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.... For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry.] (Heb. 10:35, 37) In just a while, we will hear the most joyful and blessed news from heaven-- [Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom (new world) prepared for you from the foundation of the world.] (Mat. 25:34) I sincerely hope that on that day, we will all meet each other happily as real brothers and sisters, real sons and daughters of our Father, happy heavenly princes and princesses who enjoy immortal life in our Father's Kingdom, the new world for eternity.

Prayer
My real Father who has begotten me and raised me,
[Doubtless, You are our Father. Though Abraham (long ago) was ignorant of us, and (present-day) Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Lord, are our (real) Father....] (Isa. 63:16)
Until now, I have wandered for so long without knowing that the great God is my real Father. I endured so much thinking that my father, my ancestor, was a monkey. I also wandered thinking that I was just a worthless handicraft the fearful God, the almighty God who rules the universe, made out of dirt--a worthless human-animal that had been created in the same way the cows, pigs and dogs were. Now that I have discovered that I was born a royal prince (princess) by the King of the universe, I cannot express how happy and grateful I am.
I render eternal gratitude and praise to my real Daddy and to Your Son, the Intercessor (Matchmaker) who helped me find You.
Real Daddy! Even if I were to die right now, I would have no regrets because I have found You.
Father! My Father! I will never leave Your bosom again so please never let go of me; just embrace me tightly. You do not know how much I wandered after leaving Your bosom, how much I regretted in tears. Oh, my loving Daddy! Please hold my hands tightly and do not let go until I reach Your eternal home. I render eternal gratitude, praise, and worship to my Lord, the Comforter, who is here with me, and to my real Daddy who loves me the most.
