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
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 Nam
About seven days later, the
SDA pastors and elders came here to destroy this meeting. As soon as they came,
they called elder Nam Nam
“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
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
Scores of years ago, North Korea took South Korea North Korea South Korea North
Korea North Korea
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
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.
