The Forsaken Thornbush

Thank you very much. Please read Exodus 3:1-2. Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: And he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.” 

Moses came to Mount Horeb, the mountain of God and there was a flame of fire in the midst of a bush, and as he looked up the fire did not go out. One day as I went up the mountain, I was disturbed in meditating upon why God appeared on the bush. God appeared to Moses through a bush. Bush that is not even considered a tree. Why did God give such glory of appearing Himself through it? Look at the trees in the mountain, those beautiful trees like apple trees, pears, bamboos, pine trees, oak trees. There are lots of trees in the mountain, then why did God give such glory to a bush in showing Himself to Moses? The bush that is not even considered a family tree? The Bible says it was a bush, the Korean Bible says it was a thorny bush. Thornbush, so I just accepted it as a thornbush.

A thornbush is not a tree. It consists of many branches even from the ground. From the ground, branches come out and form the whole bush. The thornbush is a forsaken tree in the wilderness. Trees like pine, apple, oak, they have their own families, but this bush does not have its own family. All the trees are proud of themselves because they have their own certain families but this bush, have no family, growing by himself, forsaken in the wilderness. Nobody regards him, nobody considers him, he is just forsaken in the wilderness. Not even one tree in the mountain comes to him and says, "Ah let's be friends, let's be friends forever." Nobody comes to him and says that. So this bush always remains under the shadows of other trees. He cannot lift up his head and just remain at the bottom of other trees, under their shadow. Having inferiority complex, he is forsaken by other people, by woodsmen. Nobody considers him, he is forsaken in the wilderness, living by himself so lonely and filled with the feeling of inferiority, living by himself. Then the woodsman passing by cuts him off with a sickle. "How come you are standing here going on a struggle?” He cuts him off. So he was forsaken in the wilderness, forsaken by other trees, by other people. He is only filled with self pity, inferiority complex, and his whole body is covered with many thorns. He does not want to communicate with others, to have contact with others around him. Because he is the worst being in the mountain, he never wants to associate with others. But there was a surprise one day. The king of the universe, the owner of heaven and earth suddenly showed up before this bush, despising all those trees, all those beautiful trees in the mountain. The king of the universe suddenly showed up before this bush, the most shabby, most humble being in the mountain.

Oh, I don't understand. There are so many beautiful trees like apple trees, great vines, pear trees, then why did God show up before this bush? And the king of heaven said, "Hey bush, do you know how much I love you? I love you more than any other tree in the mountain. Why don't you embrace Me? Why don't you come into My bosom? And God hugs him.” Oh! It was the first time he heard such a confession of love from somebody. It was the first time he was loved by somebody. And being embraced by God in His bosom, he poured tears.

Do you say to yourself, "Ah! Everybody else belongs to this missionary group, but no missionary team wants me to join them. Everybody else in the world seems to be very important being but how come I'm so useless person? I'm so poor, so old and nobody acknowledges me even at home. In my church everybody else becomes a deacon or elder or even pastors but nobody acknowledges me, everybody despises me. Ah! Even at home everybody despises me. Ah! Why was I born on this earth? God does not even remember me." Do you say to yourself like that? I hope you will be happy for this fact for this is the reason why God loves you so much and hugs you. He embraces you. People who are so proud of being great man in the world say, "Ah! I'm the general conference president, I'm a minister, I'm the president, I'm the union president. Those kinds of people, God does not look at them. He comes to the lowest person, to the weakest person, and hugs them saying, "Ah! I love you most My child."

You know Abraham Lincoln, one of the great presidents in American history. He was a person who knew God. One day, he invited common people who had no position to the White House. But as the people came, they were afraid to enter. So the president came out and shouted calling them, "Come in! Everybody come in. Don't worry, just come in. God loves you more than presidents. That's why He begot so many plain people. If God loves presidents more than you, then, He would have begotten many presidents. But there is only one president. That' why He loves you more."

Let us not pity ourselves for being the shabbiest person in this world. Let us just be happy for being loved by God. So God despised all trees, those beautiful stately big trees in the mountain. He rather came to this most shabby bush. When all the trees do not think about producing leaves, flower and fruits, this bush already starts bearing fruits. Why? Because he was hugged by God, he was embraced by God. Because he received His love so much he also starts producing fruits first.

Although this bush is forsaken by those trees around him, he is loved by little kids. While other trees do not think of bearing fruits, this bush already starts bearing fruits and the little kids love him so much. In early spring, they all go around the mountain to look for this thornbush to find their fruits. They love the bush so much. I've never heard children complain about thornbushes' thorns. Rather when they eat the fruits they compliment him.

Likewise Jesus was also forsaken by all people. In all countries, He was forsaken but He was loved by little chil­dren and accepted by God. The fruit of this bush also is famous in Chinese medicine being used as one of the best remedies. So the bush is forsaken in the wilderness, forsaken by other people, by other trees. He is only filled with envy, jealousy, self pity and rejection feeling yet he is most loved by the people of God, by prophets, and by God Himself. People today fight against each other for not being acknowledged in their churches, at home, and in their community. They try to climb up above others by fight­ing with one another.  I hope that you will not be like them. I hope that you will be happy for being loved by God, by the King of heaven then, you will be loved by little innocent children, by prophets of God and by the king of the universe.

Luke 23:31 says that Jesus is a tree and we are also trees. In John, Jesus said that He is a vine and we are the branches. We are all human trees.

Let me introduce to you the human trees who are all loved by God in history. If we trace back in the Old Testament we can see a person so much loved by God. He was Moses. When he was four years of age in Egypt, he was receiving best education being a successor to the king's throne. He was so much loved and complimented by the people in Egypt because he received a thorough and perfect education. He was perfect in all phases of his life. He was so good in shooting arrows and fighting in martial arts but God did not consider him that time. Only when he became a thorn­bush, fleeing into the wilderness of Midian and becoming somebody's farm' servant… He became a shepherd, the most shabby person but God came to him and confessed His love to him saying, "My son, Moses, do you know how much I love you? Much more than the pharaoh of Egypt.?" When he was being brought up as a cedar, God did not even consider him but as he became a thorn in the wilderness, God confessed His love to him. His life, his character was covered with thorns. When he saw one Egyptian smiting an Israelite, he in turn beat him up and killed him. His character was so furious, so violent. As he fled away to the wilderness he also saw a boy shepherd despising and mistreating a girl shepherd that he could not leave them alone. So he shouted to them again. His character was like that but as he became thornbush, God embraced him. By receiving God's character and love he became completely transformed. He became another Jesus. So only when we are embraced by God, only when we are born of God through His love, only then can we be transformed. We can never be transformed with any other way. Only by being loved by God, only by being embraced by God and born of Him can we be transformed.

Next, as for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, people say,” Ah! He was a father of faith. Abraham, a father of faith?” People adored him but he was not a person to be respected by others. In the beginning he was living in a very nice house, two storied house at that time, such a luxurious welfare house with tiles inside. So it cannot be compared to huge building of today. His wife Sarah, she was even carrying make-up cosmetics in her bag. They were living such a very luxurious life in their days. But one day God came to him and said, "Why don't you give up your wealth and follow Me? Leave your hometown and follow Me." "Yes. I will," was the answer. He gave up all his goods, all the positions and began to follow God. He became stranger in a gentile land. He became a pilgrim in a hidden land. He was mistreated by gentiles. He followed God. One day he even lost his wife. The gentiles took her away. When his wife died, he did not even have a land where to bury her body. He became so poor. They had nothing to eat so he went down to Egypt to get food for his household. His son Isaac had a hard time digging a well. But after digging, gentiles came and said, "Ah! This is ours and we have to take it.” So they had to give it to them. In different countries like Korea or America or in any other coun­tries, if they dig a well they can easily get water. But in Palestine, even if they dug the soil so deep they could hardly get water. So before they can get water they had to go through so much trouble, so much hardship, so much difficulties and sacrifice. But as they found a well, the gentiles came and took it by force.

It's the same with us today. If there comes a flood, rice fields are destroyed but these people tell us to fix it though it was not our fault. We are so despised. That's why God loves us most.

What about his grandson Jacob? He also lived as a shepherd for twenty years in his uncle's house. Being mistreated, God loved him the most. So thornbushes are mistreated by others even until today.

Next, Elijah, John the Baptist, and Jesus. People say, “Ah! Elijah, John the Baptist, Jesus?” They were just truly thornbushes. People at that time called Elijah a country man. As to John the Baptist they said, he was a fanatic, and as for Jesus, a Beelzebub, a son of devil. They had no friend at that time. Even though there were many people at that time, nobody was willing to be friend with them. Everybody around them said, “Ah, you are a heretic, a fanatic. They even beheaded John the Baptist and crucified Jesus on the cross. That’s why God loved them so much and made them saviors of the world.

Next, David. People said, "Oh! King David." But he was also a thornbush who was despised by others and lived under the shadow of his brothers as the youngest one. His older brothers were so handsome, good looking, qualified to be the king of Israel. They were so good looking that even the prophet Samuel made a mistake thinking that one of his brothers would be the king. Because David the youngest one was not as good looking as his brothers he was most despised. In Israel, if anybody was a shepherd, nobody regarded him being the shabbiest job and the shabbiest person. If the father told the eldest to take care of the sheep, he would tell the next one to do it, then the second one would tell the third one to do it, so because David was the youngest one, he had to take care of his father’s sheep all the times. Taking care of the sheep in an open field, he was always exposed to all sorts of dangers. Cowboys rode on horses carrying lots of bags but at that time he had nothing and was completely exposed to dangers like being killed by lions or bears. How could David, a little boy destroy lion or bear? And there were lots of thieves. So even at night he could not sleep. He had no idea when to be killed by anybody. However, God despised all of his good looking brothers, came to him, the shabbiest, most despised one and embraced him then made him king of Israel. Truly our Father is looking for only thornbushes.

Next, Joseph. Joseph was such a good natured boy. As he saw his older brothers doing something wrong he was so sad. When he would tell them not to do it then they would beat him up. Because he was afraid that one of them might not go to heaven he told his father Jacob. He said, “Father, my brothers stole a big water melon from our neighbor’s garden. Please tell them not do it. What if they can’t go to heaven?” And if his father would tell them not to do it again just a few minutes later his brothers would call him and beat him up saying, “Why did you tell it to our Father?”  Because he was always beaten by them his face was always swollen. His brothers hated him so much that they sold him as a slave. At that time to be a slave is much even dreadful than dying. Why? Slaves were not even considered human but only a property. If any slave died then the master thought that he just lost one of his possessions. They just throw it out. So he was sold as a slave to Egypt, a place where he could not speak the language nor understand it. Mistreated, despised but yet he was so faithful to his master. But despite of being so loyal to him for many years, he was repaid with unfair dealing. He was put to jail without committing any sin at all. Through all of these, God followed him and confessed His love to him saying, “I love you most."  Then God made him the king of Egypt. Pharaoh was merely a king by name but the true kingly throne, kingly authority was in Joseph’s hands.

Next, Daniel and his three friends. People say, “Ah! Daniel” but he was only a thornbush. Being despised by all people in Babylon with a nickname Hebrew captive, they terribly mistreated and despised him. Yet they were living with fragrance of character of God. Although he became too old with gray hair, his fellow workers in the government did not even call Daniel Prime Minister but always Hebrew captive. If Daniel prayed, they would inform the King that he was praying to a different God. They always planned to kill Daniel. All his lifetime he was mistreated by others and carried the nickname Hebrew captive.

One day they were thrown to fire furnace to be burned. Once they were put in the lion’s den.  He could not pray freely. But God did not consider this. He came to Daniel even to the lion’s den and to his three friends even in the fiery furnace. God confessed His love for them. And God made Daniel the King of Babylon as king Darius was merely a king by name. The true throne, the true authority was in the hands of Daniel.

And Jesus and His twelve disciples. They were the shabbiest persons at that time because they were only fishermen. As they went to church nobody regarded them, as they were just fishermen, farmers, tax collectors, and nobody received and accepted them. Nobody considered them to speak in the church, nor in the synagogues, and teach lesson in the school. They were so despised having lots of imperfections in their character. They always fought with one another and forsaken by the community and by the people. Yet the second person of the Godhead, Jesus Himself, came to them. He disregarded even the King of Israel, the greatest leader of His church, and came to this despised people and said, “Why don’t you come with me to heaven?” Jesus came to embrace them.

Next, the Samaritan woman. She was not a prostitute but she was traded to switch her husband even six times who was living in the shadow of others with completely benumbed conscience. She was a completely forsaken thornbush. All the women, all the ladies, they go to the well to fetch water but she could not even go there because if she would, then everybody would run away. So she was just peeping at the house and when everybody went back home she would quickly run to the well to fetch water. Her life was just living under the shadow of others. But the God of heaven, Jesus, walked so many miles to meet her saying, “My daughter, I am the very Messiah.” He did not tell this fact to His disciples only to this Samaritan woman. So, she became the first missionary in her hometown.

Next, Mary, the prostitute. If the religion at that time had been a true religion that can transform sinners, Mary might never become a prostitute. Before, she also went to church to hear the sermons yet it had no power to change her heart. Those so called clergymen who professed to be righteous, they themselves made her commit adultery in order to arrest Jesus and destroy Him. They arrested her first and then they tried to destroy Jesus together with her. These clergymen, people without God in trying to destroy Jesus and Mary, they did whatever they wanted to arrest them on the spot. Then the clergymen brought her out to Jesus saying that according to the Law of Moses this kind of woman must be stoned to death. Despite being worse sinners than her committing more abominable sins, they tried to kill her. Why were people not change? Because the religion at that time lost their power to transform sinners, being corrupt. But without a word, Jesus started writing something on the ground. So all of the clergymen came closer to Jesus saying to themselves, “What is He writing?” Jesus started writing down all the sins of the earth, their secret sins in the heart which nobody knew except for themselves about. All their sins they committed secretly. They found their sins being exposed to the ground by Jesus. As they saw it, they lost their strength on their hands and dropped the stones and run away. Jesus said, “Anyone of you who have no sin at all, let him throw the stone at her first.”  From the oldest to the youngest one they all ran away. He said, “I do not condemn you either. Go and live a righteous life from now on.” Right at that moment she became a completely new person, she became an angel. She even forgot that she once was a prostitute. Sermons or speeches has no power to transform sinners. So she became an angel with a heart to only serve Jesus from that time on. All the male prophets fled away when Jesus was crucified. But Mary prepared for His funeral. With all the money she saved, she bought a very expensive perfume and poured it on the feet of Jesus. But the disciples rebuke her saying, “How come you are wasting so much money for nothing?” Jesus said to them, “Do not stop her, her act would be praised by people down through the ages.” You did not prepare for my death but she prepared everything for me. When all those arrogant male prophets fled away, she followed Jesus even on the cross. So when Jesus was resurrected she was the first person who saw Jesus then she spread the news of His resurrection. If she was a man she could have been the best disciple.

Next, Zacheus, the tax collector who collected money from his people and presented it to Rome, their enemy country. He was regarded as a traitor of his own country. He became great and was promoted yet he wanted his conscience to be cleansed. He wanted to be a clean person. Even though he tried to be a clean person, nobody acknowledged him. Everybody regarded him as a fool person. So he just gave up his effort to make his conscience clean as no one recognized him. But he had a great longing to be a clean person in the sight of God. This longing for God cannot be prevented, and cannot be destroyed by any human power. But every time he went to church, he was even more despised and rejected. So, he rather rejected going to church. One day he heard that a famous teacher was about to pass by in their town, called Jesus. He heard people say that Jesus loves fisherman and farmers, tax collectors and shabby people. From the mouth of the people, humor about him began to spread. And he thought to himself. “Oh, how can people like that be His disciples? But I also want to see Him even once. Ah, how can somebody like me see such a holy teacher? I can’t.” His longing to see Him was in his heart. Many days passed by and one day he heard a news that Jesus would pass by. Having a strong desire to see Him just once, he decided to see Him in a distance. So, when Jesus was about to pass by, he climbed up on a tree. He was a tax collector, having a high position in the office, but without thinking of his position and prestige, he climbed up a high tree in order to see Jesus just once.  Our Daddy says, “If anybody wants to see me, I will be pleased to meet him.” As he climbed up the tree, he saw a great multitude approaching. In the middle of them was standing a holy person Jesus. Looking at Jesus while he was approaching, he was fascinated by his face, his countenance was completely different from others. He had a strong desire to meet him but as if it was only a dream, having only attracted by his holy countenance, he watched him in absence of mind on top of the tree. As Jesus was approaching closer and closer, he thought that Jesus would just pass over, but Jesus was coming closer to him and came right below the tree. Jesus looking to him said, “Hello Zacheus, I’d like to stay one night in your house.” Oh! He was greatly surprised, there were many great people surrounding him, but it was true, that Jesus was suggesting him to stay one night in his house. Ah! He couldn’t believe the fact. He thought that it was a dream, but though he pricked his skin, it was not a dream. It was a reality. He was so amazed and he quickly came down and he bowed down before him saying “Oh! Lord, I have a million dollars at home. The five hundred dollars I am going to give to the poor and the rest I will pay back everybody from whom I collected too much and I will live only a holy life from now on according to your will.” Jesus said, “You and your family became saved.” Zacheus was saved? Never, do not be fooled by those people who say we are saved by believing Jesus all our lifetime. How many weeks do we have to go to church in order to be saved? Just four weeks? Meet God and be acquainted with Him, be friends with Him, and be one with Him. Then four weeks is enough? When Zacheus was climbing the tree he was not yet saved but when he came down he was saved. Do you believe this words of Jesus? Then how long did it take him to come down from the tree? Probably a few seconds. In a few seconds he was saved. Believe this fact. He was saved in a few seconds. Then who saved him? It was the love of Jesus that saved him. By His love we were saved. Even if we memorize doctrines for many years that kind of knowledge, and faith never gives salvation. Zacheus tried to live clean life with his conscience but he was not changed at all.

People today say, “Ah! That person had been in jail three times, ten times, thirteen times,” but if they come here they are completely transformed. Once I visited a prison. There was a person who had been there for fifteen times. He had been living in prison all his lifetime. There were pastors, Buddhists, good teachers, who came and visited them to give lecture. But none of the prisoners had ever been changed. When Pastors came to visit them they only laughed and abused them. However as they came here, they were transformed completely. People laugh at them but I pity those who are laughing at them. People when they fight against one another, some of them die. So some of them are put to jail. There, they regret so badly and say, “Ah! If I go back to the world I will not do the same thing anymore. They regret completely while they are in jail but when they come out nobody acknowledges them, even friends nor their families. Nobody wants to be friends with them. In the community, even in their home, they have nowhere to stand. Because they could not find jobs they commit the same mistakes again.

Once there was a thirty-year old man in the prison and I asked him, “Are you married?” “No” was the answer. “How come?” I said. Because I have been to this prison fifteen times so I have no time to get married. When I heard him saying that my heart was choked with pity for him. Who made him like that? Who made this kind of people like that? So, I visited prisoners and many of them say, “Oh, If I am released I will attend your meeting.”

While traveling I saw people being arrested or being dragged by policeman and tied up completely but I don’t know who has the bigger sin. The one who is dragging or the one being dragged. In most cases the one dragging is the most sinner. We should not despise those ex-convicts. We have to love them for them to become angels. There are many of our brethren who were like them but when they came here they were completely changed. They live so beautiful life and when I look at them they are so precious compared with the most precious jewels. I even feel giving up my life for them.

Since the time of Old Testament up to now, our Father embraces only those thornbushes and pours upon them the greatest love. So I have been conducting this meeting ninety times. Before coming to this meeting, I already know what kind of people would be present. So, as I come here on the first day, it is my desire to bow down to any one of you here. Why? Because I know that our Father chooses only thornbushes from here and there. When they are great in the world, when they have lots of money and great positions, our Father does not bring them here. But as they as they give up their positions, they become despised by the world. When they become almost useless persons then our Father brings them here. Those religious leaders, as they become despised by others, forsaken by their churches and by their organizations, those who always speak of the truth and correct principles our Father brought them here. Only those kinds of people are brought here. Because I know what kind of people are here I want to bow down to everyone. Even though you are poor as you gave up all your businesses, though you have many defects in your character, please do not be distressed but be happy.

Now, let me turn to the story of the bush again. The bush is forsaken and mistreated by other trees. When all the trees surrounding him stand so arrogantly despising him, all of a sudden they are surprised. Why? They found out that the bush though forsaken and despised starts bearing fruits. His fruits are even taken to the palace for a king. Oh! Their arrogance, their pride became completely broken to pieces. When they do not even think of bearing flowers or leaves this bush started bearing fruits already. Now his fruits are in the palace. So all those vines, great vines, pine trees, pears, and apple trees, they all come down to this bush and say to him, “Sir, Oh! Sir” It was the first time for him to hear those words. “Sir, how come you already bore fruits and now they took it to the palace for the king?” This humble bush speaks as before, “As you look at me, I am so shabby. I am such a shabby tree and probably God loves those who are shabby and humble trees. If you also want to be loved by God and be invited in the king’s table then, you can just go back and live a humble life like me. Throw away your pride and arrogance and be humble like me. That’s it.” Ah! He became the most powerful preacher in the universe. So all those trees go back home, to their places after saying “Amen, Amen." They also begin to humble themselves. Now, they start bearing fruits by receiving the sunlight of God. Ah! Do you say to yourself, “Because I am a thornbush God loves me and brought me here?” If you go back home you must go to those cedars pines, great vines, apple trees, pear trees and teach them that they must be humble like you and be loved by God. Exodus 3:2-6.

(Reader) “And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of the bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, but the bush was not consumed. Then Moses said, ‘I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.’  So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him in the midst of the bush and said, ‘Moses, Moses!’ And he said ...’Here I am.’ Then He said, ‘Do not draw near the place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is a holy ground.’ Moreover He said, ‘I am the God of your Father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

(Speaker) As Moses looked upon that bush it was covered with flame of fire, so he wondered ‘How come the flame does not go out even time passed by? How come it is not extinguished at all?’ So he came near to see what was going on the bush. Moses also did not consider the bush a tree. When he saw a big fire on the bush he told himself, ‘Ah! In a few minutes it will go out. If it would go on it will last only for five or ten minutes. So ten minutes passed by, twenty, thirty but the fire was not extinguished at all. What was more surprising was that even the flame was burning so furiously, the bush was not burned at all. Then he came near to investigate what was going on there. As he approached the bush, Ah! What a surprise, the King of the universe, God was speaking to him inside the bush saying, ‘Moses, do not come near. Even though you despised this bush, this bush already became one with me. If you also want to be a friend of this bush, you must take off your shoes of pride and arrogance. I am the holy God of Israel, the holy God of Jacob.’ Moses was so surprised and he immediately took off his shoes and he humbled himself to become one with the bush. As he became humble as the bush, God also befriended Moses. That’s why Moses became such a great man of God. All the parables in both Old and New testaments must be fulfilled in our days, in these last days.

People of the world studied this work first. Those people in big churches, those theologians, they said to one another, “Ah! That Park Myung Ho’s people, we can just wait for them to be destroyed in six months. They have lots of heresy but in just six months they will disappear.” One year passed but this work was not extinguished. Two years, three years passed but these people were not extinguished at all. The fire of the Holy Spirit keeps on burning. Then they said, ‘Ah! It will disappear after two years but after two years it did not disappear. On the contrary, this message is spreading even to the ends of the world. These days the video tapes and audio tapes are spreading rapidly to the ends of the world. And these books are translated in many different languages.

There had been many heretics. As they start forming a group they also start fighting with one another. They are destroyed by themselves. However, these people instead of being destroyed they grew bigger in number and are now spreading this message of God’s love to the ends of the world. They are changed. So disobedient children turned to be most honorable to their parents. One of the known churches in the world sent a very knowledgeable pastors to this meeting to investigate what kind of message is this. The pastors themselves do not want to come here but the government leaders sent them here. As they first came who was speaking then? Ah! What a surprise! God was speaking here. They wrote everything I spoke here. They were even writing my coughs. They were trying to make a thorough investigation of everything I said. I told them to ask questions on the last day but they did not have manners. They just showed up to my room every break time saying, “How come you said these things this hour?” The Spirit of Prophecy says that the Holy Spirit will be given to us in such a manner, how come you said like that?” Then I would explain to them that, “It is written here like this and they would say, ‘Oh! I see, I see. I am sorry.’ They just went back down. After next hour, they would come up to my room again saying, “Ah! You made such a mistake. How come you said that?” Then, I would explain again, “It was like this, like this.” Then they said, “I see, I see. I am sorry.” They just went back down again. A few days later they began to pour tears saying, “Ah! We did not know that. We did not know that God is here. We want to share the same faith with this people.” After the last hour they said to me, ‘Ah! Teacher Park you spoke twelve hours today’ but at that time I denounced pastors most severely saying that all the pastors are sons of vipers. On the last day they were supposed to give report to their church but after the meeting they even came to my house. They had lots of humors. They heard that Teacher Park was about to run away to America after earning millions of dollars from people. 

As they came to my house and entered my room, they were so surprised. My room is full of ups and down and my door is covered with plastic vynile. As they saw my house they burst into crying. They took pictures of my house and they went back to their church to give reports. They said, “We have seen, we have attended Teacher Park’s meeting. Now, we have seen that his life is the same as that of Jesus. He is living just like Jesus and his messages are right, a perfect message from heaven. They gave that kind of report to the highest leaders. As the leaders heard that those people they sent had become one with these people, they said, ‘Oh! What a big mistake and trouble.’ So they called the pastors again. When all the pastors were gathered in a big hall they told the pastors who attended the seminar, ‘You don’t have to say anything, only this, just say that Park Myung Ho is a heretic, a fanatic. But they said, ‘No! We have seen him. We have attended his meeting. You sent us there and we found out that that his message is right, a message from heaven. He is living a life like Jesus. How come you are forcing us to give wrong reports.’ Then the highest leader said, ‘If you refuse then we are going to fire you.’ So they were fired. The worldly people, those people in worldly businesses they cannot do this thing. Those pastors know why they came here. The leaders sent them here by giving them money. And upon coming they found out what is going on here. As they were about to give right report to them they won’t receive their reports. Jesus was assassinated like that, but they didn’t care. They did not listen to any of His testimonies. As those pastors follow this message we have to give them the best treatment and respect. If we would follow God we must take off both shoes. If we still use the other shoe of the world then we cannot follow Him. As they came here they found out that the God of Abraham, the God of Jacob, God of Isaac is speaking to people.

This fire of the Holy Spirit can never be extinguished by human power. Even this Park Myung Ho dies a thousand times, this message will never be extinguished but rather will reach even the ends of the world. God’s purpose, God’s plan must be fulfilled. Some of you are here to investigate what this message is all about, to find fault. No matter what purpose you have come here I hope you listen and carefully investigate, correctly investigate. Some people wrote so many bad things about this message in their magazine without attending the meeting first. Some of them listened for one or two days but others had never attended the meeting yet they just wrote wrong reports in their magazines. They will be fairly judged in the last days. The grace of God would not be given to them anymore. They themselves rejected the grace of God.

During the time of warning we will witness things uncommon and surprising. The Lord will work in a manner very much out of the common order of things and in a way contrary to any human planning. The three Angels Message will be proclaimed like this as the time comes for it to be given with greatest power. The Lord will work through humble instruments leading the mind of those who consecrate themselves to His service. The last laborers will be qualified by the unction of His Spirit than by the training of literary institution. Although people did not go to theological school they will be controlled by the Holy Spirit and they will complete the work of God. In the last days, men of high attainments in the world will not be leaders and those of human ability, natural intellect will not be able to stand at the head of this work. At that time church leaders will be changed. Few will take part in this solemn work. God will raise up and exalt among us those who are taught rather by the unction of the Holy Spirit than by the outward training of scientific institutions.

In time of Pentecost, they were not greatly educated in the world. Their Teacher Jesus was also ignorant and His disciples were uneducated but they were rather taught by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of Prophecy says that in the last days also it will be the same.  I am not saying that only ignorant people can be used by God. Scholars also can be used by God. Men of high position also can be used by God.

People like Moses, Paul, those who put away all false knowledge of the world and receive the true knowledge of heaven will be used even for grater efficiency. I hope you put away everything like Moses and Paul. Take off both of your shoes and men of high arrogance will be made low and they will find that the power is not with men but with God. If you become a thornbush before God then the power of the Holy Spirit that kindle upon us will never be extinguished to the ends of the world. I learned not from any human teacher, I only learned everything from my Teacher, my Real Father.

I wonder why God gave such a great glory to a raven to carry food for Elijah. There are many beautiful birds like sparrows, doves, peacocks, swans then why did God give the glory to a raven? Raven is one of the ugliest birds but I found out why God gave him so much glory. Because ravens are just like forsaken thornbush. In Korea if ravens come and sing from a tree people passing by throw stones at them. ‘You unlucky birds, why do you make such a noise there? You all get away.’ They sing to make people happy but people throw stones at them. As they fly and their faces fall upon the head of a person, if that person rides a boat then the boatman does not give him a ride saying that he is an unlucky person. ‘If I let him ride, the boat might sink.’ People despised ravens so terribly but why God gave glory to a raven in carrying food for Elijah?

Prophecy books in western and eastern countries foretold that one of the smallest countries, Korea, will receive glory from God to save the world in the last days. Then why did God give such a glory to Korea to save the world. Because Korea is a forsaken thornbush.  There are many big countries like Germany, America, Japan, Russia then, why did God give the glory of saving the world to Korea? Korea standing in the middle of big countries was always mistreated and attacked by surrounding countries. When people were about to harvest their crops from the field, then the surrounding countries came and took away everything. So it resulted in eating the skin of pine trees and grass plants in the mountain. Korea had been attacked for almost one thousand times by other countries. Enemies from the North, South, West, attacked Korea for over nine hundred times. There is a saying that a tree cannot stand if it is beaten up by others over ten times.  Korea had been attacked by other countries for over nine hundred times but still standing up to now. Because God has protected her.

In the past, people in South Korea suffered so much starvation that’s why every time they meet each other they ask, ‘Did you eat anything? Americans say, Hey! How are you?, Good morning!, Good afternoon! But Korean people, they greet each other by saying, Did you eat anything? Why? Because they suffered too much starvation and if you think about their greeting and its meaning you cannot help but shed tears. That’s why God loves Korea so much. Korea had been attacked by other countries almost one thousand times but God protected this country. This country is really a forsaken thornbush. In America and other countries if foreigners are asked what country they came from they proudly say, Oh! I am from Japan but now we can also say, I am from Korea. I belong to a glorious people of God. We are glorious people. Nobody in the world can be saved in the last days without accepting our Father’s love through you. God gives such a glorious mission to us. Only when we give this message of love to the whole world can we save them. We are loved by God being forsaken thornbushes.

When Moses was being brought up as a cedar in Egypt, God did not consider him at all. When he became a shepherd in Midian God embraced him. So like Moses, we must forsake our high position in the world and become thornbushes. 

Now, I will teach you how to become thornbushes.

First - Come down to low position like Moses. He had been a cedar in Egypt but he cast away all the worldly glories and high position then came down to humble state of a forsaken thornbush in Midian.

Second - Go to the wilderness of the country and live like Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Elijah, Enoch, John the Baptist, and Jesus. Thornbushes cannot live in the streets, they must live in the mountain. If you want to become a thornbush you must leave your city life, go to the mountain and live with God.

Third - After going to the country, do not attempt to become a silly physician trying to cure others when you cannot cure your own soul. Do not run a missionary school to teach others. It is deceiving others in the eyes of God.  Just go to the country and make friends with God and be cured by Him. You must walk with God first.

Fourth - As you live in the country, let God teach you completely and be friends with Him.

Fifth - After being cured by God and finished learning from Him, you can just wait for His command to go forth. Never run out on your own without receiving His command.

Sixth - Once you receive God’s command to go forth, with loyalty, carry out the work which God has entrusted to you. No matter how and what powers of darkness interrupt you, do not abdicate until the end. Then, you will receive the prize from the Lord who will declare, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; You were faithful over a few things . . . receive great rewards. (Matt. 25:1). “I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”  (2 Timothy 4:7-8). Be one of those who will shout ‘Hallelujah’ and sing the song of victory. So you have to become a thornbush for God to give you the glorious crown then the fire of the Holy Spirit will keep burning in you until the end. Then He will put upon you for eternity the golden crown of righteousness so that you will all become thornbushes, the ones that will burn and shine the light to the ends of this earth. May that fire of glory spread to the end of the world.

Amen!

The Love of the Father Thicker than the Blood of the Cross and stronger than the Death of the Cross

    Thank you very much. Please open the second chapter of The Key To Happiness. What is the title? ‘The love of the Father thicker than the blood of the cross and stronger than the death of the cross.’ What love can be thicker than the blood of the cross of Jesus and stronger than the death of the cross of Jesus? Isn’t it too much exaggeration? A book called ‘Early Writings’ has a statement like this, “Do you think that the Father yielded up his dearly beloved Son without a struggle?” This questions is being asked to you. Do you think that the Father yielded up his dearly beloved Son without a struggle? When He had to give away his only Son to be killed mercilessly by people, do you think that our Father yielded up or gave up His only begotten Son without a struggle at all. No, no! It was even a struggle with the God of heaven, our Father, whether to let guilty man perish or to give up His only begotten Son who knew no sin to die for them. Due to imperfection of the language of the pigmies, our Father’s heart could be expressed only like this.

If a son or daughter dies, the parents tumble on the ground, crying so bitterly. Some parents even lose their sanity or become crazy not because they gave birth to them, but because they raised them for so many years. They love them so much. Their love for them becomes thicker and stronger as days go by. If a child who is twelve years old or fifteen years old die, the parents cannot suppress, cannot overcome their sorrow. Some parents even die together with their children when they die.

Parents lose their sanity but what about our Father? Let’s think about Him. He was living with His Son Jesus from eternal days ago. He was walking and living together with His only Son since eternal days ago. They could not live away from each other. They were living and walking together so how could our Father give up His only begotten Son to be killed so mercilessly in our stead. People love their children so much but they never think about the heart of our Father who gave up His only Son for our sins. They only say, “Ah, is that right? Is that true?” Please remember that our Father’s love is incomparably greater and stronger than the love of parents toward their children.

The huge pit of sin which we ourselves dug must be filled by somebody’s blood, by the blood of the only Son of God. The Son of God must die in our stead. Our Father loves His lovely children so much. He could not let them be destroyed. He could not let them die forever that’s why He had to save them. However, them, He must let Jesus die in their stead in order to save them. As He looked at Jesus, His only Son, He was so pure and innocent. He had never experienced sin, he did not even know what sin was. He could not let Jesus die for them. However, to save the doomed sinful children, He must kill Jesus. In order to save Jesus, He must give up the other children. So our Father could not make a decision. Our Father’s struggle was unbearable, inexpressible. He was writhing in agony by Himself. In the heavenly sanctuary, our Father was writhing in desperate agony because He could not give up neither of His children.

When our Father was writhing in desperate agony confining Himself in the heavenly sanctuary, letting nobody to see Him, the angels of heaven could not sing. Jesus, who knew the heart of His Father best understood the struggle and torture of His Father. That’s why He could not keep standing outside the sanctuary with the angels, so He entered His Father’s sanctuary. When He was writhing in agony by Himself, with His heart ripped apart, Jesus entreated the Father saying, “Father, please don’t writhe in agony anymore. Why don’t you let me go down and die for them, I am going to die for them?” As our Father looked at Jesus the Son, as our Father looked at Jesus’ face repeatedly, He is so innocent. He already knew that if He would only come down to this earth, He would be torn to pieces by wicked people who are controlled by devils. As He thought about that, it was totally unimaginable. Then He said, “No, please give Me more time to think,” and He let Jesus go out. After He let Him go out, He continued to writhe in agony by Himself. Our Father’s agony on the heavenly sanctuary cannot be compared with the agony of Jesus on Mt. Gethsemane. Jesus on Mt. Gethsemane was writhing in agony only for the sins of the world. His sweat became blood falling on the ground. But when our Father was writhing in agony in the heavenly sanctuary, He was pressed down by double burdens. One for the sins of the world, of His children and the other one is for the death of His only Son. ******His agony cannot be compared with the agony of Jesus of two thousand years ago on Mt. Gethsemane. We must behold our Father writhing in agony by Himself which took place before the event of Gethsemane. When Jesus was crying bitterly on the cross, He at least has the Father to answer to His cry. But when our Father was crying in the heavenly sanctuary there was nobody to answer to Him. When Jesus was crying so bitterly, angels came down to comfort him but when our Father was crying in the heavenly sanctuary by Himself, there was nobody to help Him. If our Father had been a physical being like Jesus, not only His blood vessels and arteries but His heart might have been ruptured.

Because Jesus knew the agony of His Father, He entered to the sanctuary again, imploring Him, “Father, please let Me go down. Please don’t writhe in desperate agony by Yourself. Please let Me go down and die for them. Please don’t stay like that.” The Father looks at His innocent Son again. He was the Son who knew no sin, who never experienced sin, who did not even know what sin was. It was totally unimaginable for the Father to let Him be killed, to let Him die such a cruel death because He knew what kind of death He must die. It was totally unimaginable. He could not let Him die such a cruel death. So He said, “No, no. I can never let you go down and die for them. No, I can never do that.” So He let Him go out again. Jesus came out into the midst of angels. However, the lapse of time could not solve the problem, the agony of the Father. The more time passed by the greater struggle it was for the Father.

The third time, Jesus made a firm resolution to go down and die for them because He could no longer merely watch the ever deepening agony and unceasing struggle of His Father. In order to save these earthly children, the dirty children of this world, God and Jesus suffered an unbearable and inexpressible agony. We must know this fact. Because of the death of Jesus and the sacrifice of our Father, we could receive eternal life, we could be saved. When Jesus entered the Father’s sanctuary the third time, our Father knew that He came with a strong resolution to get permission from Him. Our Father also loved His earthly doomed children so He eventually made a final decision to kill His only Son, to let Him die such a cruel death for us. When Jesus came out the third time, He proclaimed to all the angels of heaven that there was made a plan, a way for the earthly children to be saved.

“I then saw the lovely Jesus ... approach the exceeding bright light which enshrouded the Father... The anxiety of the angels seemed to be intense while Jesus was communing with His Father. Three times He was shut in by the glorious light about the Father, and the third time He came from the Father, we could see His person ... He then made known to the angelic choir that a way of escape had been made for the lost man.”

Our Father’s agony could not be expressed by words. No human, no angel, nobody could understand the agony of our Father and of Jesus. Is there anybody in the Christian world today who appreciates our Father’s agony? They only regard our Father as a dreadful being who is pleased to judge, condemn, and punish people. They don’t like nor love Him. They hate Him. They fear Him and are afraid of Him. Is there anybody who knows our Father’s love? They always cling to Jesus and say that this message of God’s love is a heresy. They even persecute people who received our Daddy’s love and cast them out from their churches.

Until this message of eternal life could be given you, there had been lots of conflicts and oppositions. As I first started spreading this message of eternal life, pastors and leaders of God’s people in the world opposed this message. They interfered with this message. They kept saying that the message of Jesus’ love is the only truth and the message of God’s love is a heresy. So I asked them “Why don’t you read John 3:16 the other way, the opposite way?” If God had not loved the world and had not given His only begotten Son, who could have known Jesus? Because the Father loves us so much He has given us His only begotten Son and we came to know Jesus. Then to whom should we be more thankful, to Jesus or to the Father who sent Jesus? Those people who do not even know the deep heart of our Father claim to save the world. How can anybody be saved by them?

There was a severe famine in old times. The famine lasted even for seven years. People sold everything to buy foods. When the situation became increasingly severe, people had to pay lots of money to buy just a bowl of rice. They had to pay even millions of dollars just to buy a sack of rice. At the end, there was no more food, nothing to eat because they ate up all the plants and grass in the mountain. All the mountains became completely covered with only dirt. There was nothing to eat. In one family, everybody was just lying down ready to die. As they became extremely hungry, they just said, “Let’s just die together.” When they were just lying down waiting for death, all of a sudden, the door was opened. The father barely lifted up his head and looked at the door. When everybody in the town was dying, the door of his house was opened and a good looking boy was coming in with a huge sack of rice on his back and with a big bunch of money in his hand. So the father of this family became so surprised and amazed. He then stood up and asked him, “What happened? Who are you?” That one sack of rice on his back was not merely a rice, it was life to the family. Even the richest person could not buy any rice in that situation, but this boy came with a huge sock of rice, so the father asked him, “Who are you?” The boy said, “My father told me to give this to you.” To whom should this family be more thankful, to the boy or to the boy’s Father who sent the rice through him?

When our Father had to give up His only begotten Son to let Him die for us, it was an unbearable and inexpressible agony. Jesus said that our Father could not even let a little sparrow fall to the ground and die. He was living with Jesus since eternal days ago, He was His only Son. Then how could He send His only Son to die for us. How can people regard His sacrifice as nothing? How can they think only about Jesus’ love? That’s why Jesus Himself declared to people that in order for you to be saved, you must know God’s love first and then my love. In John 17:3. He said that eternal life is to know God’s love and then Jesus’ love. These are the steps that lead us to heaven. Jesus said, “God loves the world so much.” Nobody fully understands what this ‘so much’ mean. Even if we learn about this love for eternity in heaven, we will not be able to understand it fully.

People in the world say that Jesus two thousand years ago came down to this earth and He was crucified on the cross while God was just sitting on the heavenly throne by Himself. Is there anyone in the world who teaches people that God came down and died together with His son on the cross? He was embracing His Son on the cross when He was killed. They all teach that only Jesus came. They never think about the Father who sent out Jesus. I hope you put away all the false teachings of the world and listen carefully with a clean heart.

Please read John 16:32. [Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and you will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.]

Jesus said, “You will leave Me alone. You will just go away and leave Me alone, but I will not be alone for the Father is with Me.” Before His crucifixion, He said to his disciples, “When I will be mocked by people, when I will be contempt and scorn, you all will be ashamed and you will run away saying, “Ah! It’s a shame to follow him.” He continued, “Although you will flee away for your sake, My Father who sent Me will be with Me. He will follow Me. He will walk with Me hand in hand all the way to Calvary.”

Even the worldly loveless fathers, they never let their children go by themselves when they go through any dangerous places. They carry them on their backs or under their arms. Then how can our Father whose life is love send His only Son to this earth to let Him die by Himself? How could He just remain in the heavenly throne by Himself? Even devils cannot do that. When our Father made a final decision to let Jesus die in our instead, after going through incomparable greater agony than Jesus on Mt. Gethsemane, He said to His Son, “Yes, My Son, let’s go down together, let’s die together.” Do you now believe this? This was testified by the Holy Sprit. Jesus also testified, “Even if you all flee away for the sake of your lives, My Father who came down with Me will be with Me.” Do you now believe that our Father was not in the heavenly throne, but that He came down with Him, and walked with Him all the way to Calvary? I hope you believe this.

As I think about our Father walking together with His Son, my heart seems to break apart. As I think of His sacrifice walking with His Son, I cannot suppress my sorrow. When Jesus was writhing in agony on Mt. Gethsemane, for the sin of His people in this world, wicked people came and arrested Him. When He was taken to the court, He was dragged by people from court to court all through the night. The more He was taken to different courts, the more heavily He was condemned. The Jews were so furious like crazy dogs against Jesus. They were about to tear Him apart. Because Roman soldiers protected Him, Jesus could leave until He was crucified. They were afraid of judging Him on the day time for fear of people’s demonstration, that’s why they judged Him all through the night.

Even in this world, when a person is condemned and is to be executed, he is given a nice table, nice foods. Everything good is given him before his execution. Even in this world a condemned criminal is given the best foods before he is executed but Jesus was given not a bit of food before His execution. He starved and fainted here and there even fourteen times. So people of today made fourteen stops on the way to Calvary. They forced Jesus to carry a heavy cross. Because he starved and did not drink any water for so many hours, He had no strength at all. He couldn’t carry the cross. All His disciples used to profess that they would be loyal and faithful to Him until death, but as people mocked Jesus, they all fled away. They said to themselves, “Ah! Our Teacher Jesus is nothing. He is not different from us. He has no strength, no power. We better not follow Him anymore.” So they all fled away for the sake of their lives. Then Roman soldiers came to Jesus and began to whip Him. Do you know the whip of Roman soldiers? At the end of every string was hanging sharp bones or metals. So as they hit the criminals, the criminals could not help crying and fainting. Everytime they whipped the criminals, their skin and flesh were split apart. So as Jesus fell to the ground being unable to carry the cross, they whipped Him right there. Jesus had no strength at all. As He was hit by them repeatedly, He began to shed blood more and more. Then He became so powerless and helpless. Eventually He fainted and they let somebody else carry the cross for Him. Then they dragged Jesus all the way to Calvary. When Jesus was being dragged by them, let us not only behold Jesus but let us also behold the Father who was following the Son.

Do you truly believe that our Father was following Jesus when He was dragged by wicked people there? Will you accept what I say here? Why do you readily accept what those people teach and so hardly accept what I teach you here about our Father’s sacrifice and agony? When His only Son was being dragged and beaten up by them so cruelly, how could our Father sit on the heavenly throne by Himself? He truly came down and walked with Him. Our Father’s heart was ripped apart when His Son was being dragged by them. He sent away His only Son to let Him die in their instead but instead of accepting Him with gratitude, they were whipping Him so cruelly. When Mary, His mother saw Jesus being beaten up by them so cruelly, she fainted and people carried her away. How can Mary’s heart be compared with the hearth of our Father who was watching and following Him all the way to Calvary? When His only Son was being beaten up by them so cruelly, how could His heart be expressed?

When I was leaving down South, in the village, there was a person who had two sons. One of them was crazy and his father pitied him so much. One day, when his brother was working with his crazy brother, he got very angry that he began to beat up his crazy brother. When his normal son was beating up his crazy brother, he quickly ran to him and hugged his crazy son. He burst into bitter cry saying, “Why do you have to beat him my son? Although he was a crazy son, his father had such a great pity on him.

When Jesus was being dragged by them with no strength at all and shedding blood, our Father was clinging to Him crying so bitterly saying, “My Son, My Son, this is the only way to save our children. Please be patient a little bit more.” Our Father was pouring bitter tears hugging his Son being dragged by them. As Jesus fainted, they just dragged Him as a dead dog. Our Father was crying so bitterly seeing all these.

In Psalms, the Bible says that furious dogs killed Him. Yes, they were just like dogs. Those so-called religious leaders and clergymen were killing Jesus so mercilessly. They were nailing the hands of Jesus who had devoted Himself to only good works all His lifetime. They were nailing on the cross such holy hands. After nailing Him on the cross, they erected the cross. Because of His body weight, the holes on His hands ripped more. Because He starved and had no strength at all, He could not stay alive on the cross for long. He only cried out to the Father, “Father, Father, why have You forsaken me?” Then He gave up His ghost and He died. After His death, all of a sudden, the whole area became so dark.

People today preach that when Jesus died, the earth was as black as dark night but they do not know what the darkness was. It was our Daddy’s presence. Because He was naked and killed mercilessly by them, our Father covered His nakedness and shame with darkness. He also covered His glory with darkness so that those people, for whom Jesus died, might not die due to His glory. Now Jesus was dead. Because He was dead, He could not feel any pain anymore. He was completely freed from any pain but let us think about the Father who has hugging His dead Son on the cross, pouring bitter tears by Himself. Last time also we learned that our Father is also emotional Father who laughs, cries, and sings for joy. He is the Father of emotion. How bitterly He must have cried. He cried hugging the dead Son on the cross, pouring bitter tears. All the heavenly angels came down but they could not sing songs. They all burst into crying, looking at the Father hugging His dead Son on the cross. The sun in the sky could not behold such a sorrowful scene that the sun refused to give light to the world. So the whole world became so dark. All things in nature refused to see such a gloomy scene. Only if we know this immense and inexpressible love of the Father, we can obey, follow, and love Him with a sincere true love.

How can this message of God’s love be a heresy? How can there be any fallacy in this love? Please don’t ever be fooled by those false teachers. Let us consider what sacrifice our Father suffered. After accepting our Father’s love, if you go back home, the leaders in your churches will say, “How come you attended the meeting of Park Myung Ho? Now, you have to tell all the church members that it is a heresy.” If you refuse, they will cast you out. They will throw you away from their churches. When you are cast out and kicked away by them, I hope you only remember our Father. I hope you behold our Father crying so bitterly hugging His dead Son on the cross. Then, you will be able to forgive them. You will be able to overcome them with love. You will be able to forgive them with a sincere heart. Think of our Father’s love who was crying so bitterly hugging His dead Son on the cross.

Oh! The agony of the Father greater than that of the Son! The struggle of the Father more intense than that of the Son! The love of the Father thicker than the blood of the cross! The love of the Father stronger than the death of the cross! The love of the Father broader and wider than the whole universe! The love of the Father that neither the world nor sinners can ever fully comprehend! The love of the Father that neither righteous people nor angels can ever know! The love of the Father that is unknown to both heaven and earth! The love that [no one knows except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal the Father.] Where are the Elijahs today who will go forth with this love?

During the Korean War, North Korea came down and attacked South Korea with tanks of Russia. They came down with the Russians tanks while all the people of South Korean government, all the governors were only absorbed in fighting with one another for positions. So all the young people in South Korea were dragged to the battle. Everytime they went to the battle, they were all killed by them. One day, a policeman came to a certain house because there was a young man, in a family. The policeman brought a letter saying, “Because you are a Korean citizen, you must devote yourself for the defense of this country.” Because the son was growing, the parents already knew that their son would be dragged to the army to be killed in the battle. Although they knew that the son would be dragged and be killed to the army someday, when that very day came, they all burst into crying. All the neighbors came and cried. At that time, the boys who were dragged into the army went with red stripes on their foreheads. They were carried to the battle field on a train.

In old times, women did not look at men face to face. However, when those young boys were to be taken to the battle field, everybody in the village came out and hugged them bursting into crying because they knew that everybody who went to the battle would come out as ashes.

So when this son was taken and dragged into the army, the parents tumbled on the ground pouring bitter tears because they knew their son would never be able to come back alive. Although everybody in the village came trying to comfort the parents, they could not be comforted at all. So when the son came back as an ash in a box, the parents burst into crying again. So the agony of these parents was even greater than the pain of the son who was killed in the battle field. When the son was killed in the battle field, he was completely freed from pain but what about the parents who were crying so bitterly hugging the ash box? Even though they did not see their son being killed in the battle field they burst into crying so bitterly. What about our Father? Our Father was watching His only Son being crucified so cruelly on the cross. As our Father was walking with Him hand in hand, His heart was completely ripped apart. He was writhing in desperate agony, hugging the dead body of His Son on the Cross.

So to know this love of our Father is eternal life. The second condition is to know and accept Jesus’ love. As I told you just now, if you accept our Daddy’s love and go back home with joy of His love, you will see the same history being repeated. Then, you must behold our Father hugging His dead Son on the cross shedding bitter tears and you will be able to forgive them.

After singing song no. 12, may anyone pray? 

The Only True God (The Holy Father)

     Let’s go to page 35 chapter 2 learn in chapter 1 we made up our minds to get to know God and become friends with him, and if we want to become friends with him then we should know them well so does God our Father who is he and what does he look like what is his heart and what is his character? We will learn about that this hour, when Jesus came two thousand years ago if he had just anytime or opportunity whether he was on the street or on the road or any where else he would always tell the disciples all those who are listening to him how much God the Father love them all. So whether not the people who where listening where Christians believe in God or not all he did was to share to them how much our Heavenly Father love all the children in this earth and that’s why so many people especially the disciples they only learn all about the fearful and scary God after meeting Jesus they began to love God and they wanted to see God and they wanted to ask him why he love us so much and so one time Phillip ask, “Lord Jesus, show us the Father? So until now they only learn that God was the fearful God, he was the God of Judgment but after Jesus came down to this earth and explain to them who God was, and that God was the real Father who begot us and in every work from the mouth of Jesus showing them how much they love them they are filled with so such love, that Philip ask Jesus to show the Father, I want to meet the Father and so Jesus said the Father he is like me, if you live holy now the day will come when you will be able to see him face to face, then what is the face our Father

(1) The Outward Appearance of Our Heavenly Father

* Our Father has His head and hair 

[I watched... and the hair of His head was like pure wool] (Dan. 7:9). 

* He has a face 

[His servants shall serve Him] and [They shall see His face] (Rev. 22: 3, 4). 

[Now we see ... dimly, but then face to face] (1 Cor. 13:12). 

* He has a back 

[You shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen] (Exodus 33:23). 

[He who has seen Me has seen the Father] (John 14:9).

[I and my Father are one] (John 10:30).

* He has vocal cords and speaks 

[the voice of the Lord] (1 Sam. 15:22) 

* He has eyes and pupils 

[the eyes of the Lord] (Pro. 15:3). 

[as the apple of His eye] (Deut. 32:10) 

* He has a nose 

[There are a smoke in My nostrils] (Isa. 65:5). 

* He has a mouth and lips and speaks with them 

[the mouth of God] (Matt. 4:4). 

[My lips] (Ps. 89:34).

[Every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord] 

(Deut. 8:3). 

* He has ears 

[His ear] (Isa. 59:1) 

[You will cause Your ear to hear] (Ps. 10:17). 

* He has arms 

[My arm] (Ps. 89:21). 

[Your outstretched arm] (1 Kings 8:42).

[The Lord's arm] (Num. 11:23).

* He has hands and fingers 

[Your fingers] ( Ps. 8:3). 

[Has My hand not made all these things?] (Acts 7:50). 

* He has legs 

[Almighty God ... His thigh] (Rev. 19:15, 16). 

* He has feet 

[earth is My footstool] (Acts 7:49). 

[Your feet] (Ps. 74:3). 

* He is clothed in garment 

[His garment was white as snow] (Dan. 7:9). 

[He ... was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance] (Rev. 4:3). 

[dwelling in unapproachable light (garment)] (1 Tim.6:16). 

So who is God like, isn’t God like Jesus? Isn’t he like us? So we can be considered his sons and daughters Jesus just as he has face, mouth, nose, eyes, hands, arms, legs, feet, just like us our Father is the same but he is covered in light so that not anyone can see him so now do you know who we are like and why we are born like the way we are do you or not? Has you ever learn this before in the world right now in the world they have made God into someone who we cannot become close to, but we have to go close to him and we have to meet him we have to walk with him hand in hand. You got to have this living experience and you have to walk and live with him. It’s just not our religion but it is our life there is no way for us to act holy or always –6:36----- we should naturally walk with our Father and we should talk with him and we shall walk to heaven this is our happy life and this is what we call religious life why does religion seem to be such a burden we are beginning a happy life. So Jesus said, “Have I not been with you for so long that you cannot recognize me? He who sees me has seen the Father so who show us the Father I and the Father are I one. During the ten days seminar before you may felt so afraid of God and his eyes seems so scare but all that will disappear and now he will come to you as a real Father, so kind and gentle and you will be able to accept him and at that time you may want to see God like Phillip. And if you cannot bear to be patient, look the person next to you our Father kind look like that doesn’t he? If you look at the person next to you oh our God is so good looking can you think that way? Ah not really perhaps, what if really God looks like that person what happens if really God looks like that person next to me? What God look like that Teacher Myung Ho Park, right now I am 50 when I look at my picture when I was in the army 30 years ago, I can’t even recognize my own self. I guess my teeth are the same everything else is seems different it is very strange at that time I didn’t even wear glasses even though 30 years had passed somewhat our face is change and you cannot even tell then we left our Real Daddy we are not able to eat the fruit or drink the water of life already so many thousands of years do you think we would look like our Father any longer? You can’t even tell that we look like him any longer, it’s a miracle that we are even alive and breathing you know when we go to heaven we all have to be grow two and half up to three time taller than we are now, right now we are degenerated we become short right now we are just so short and so we go to heaven and we drink the water and eat the fruit of life we will grow two and half to three times taller than we are now. The original height and that time everything will be restored. Right now we are one third of our normal height we are like dwarfs because we ate things that we should not have eaten. And if you go to Africa there are people there known as pygmies there are some that even 57 cm. there are some that even a 150 cm. those who are a 150 cm. tall all they can talk and they can listen but those who are 57 cm. they have no language they can’t even think properly they have no salvation. Why no matter how much you gave them God’s word they can’t understand it. There is no way for them to understand. That’s why heaven has given up on them one time a missionary  went there and saw this 57 cm. people about two feet tall he was walking on the forest and he saw this short people and they are all running away all of a sudden, but they one pygmy you know missionary from Europe and America sometimes they are even more than 6 feet tall so they are very, very, any they are so tall that this 57 cm. this less than  2 foot pygmy become so scared but he couldn’t run because he become so scared.  So what he did was in this------11:30--- he start digging the ground even in this ground he stacked his face in the ground and his feet were dangling in the air ah who is this so this missionary came and pick this pygmy but this pygmy couldn’t  say anything and instead it’s trying to wiggle like some fish that was caught and this man look it was a person and this missionary was completely shock if you at him it’s a person but there is where the pygmies are living but heaven cannot take them that cannot be taken to heaven why? They have no judgment, they have no thinking, they have no language, they just live according to instinct like animals they build there house on trees because if they build it on the ground they will be eaten by the animals and they live in the trees and when they are hungry they come down from the trees and crawl on the trees and eat bugs and when they are full they back up and sleep and when they are hungry they come back down, this is what they do all day long they have no salvation. Second generation pygmies, are those who are a 150 cm. about 5 ft. tall and then they other third generation pygmies are us. Let us not forget that we are the third generation pygmies. And because we are pygmies no matter how much the real thing the truth is given to you say Amen, amen, and then during the resting period you just forget you only sit here and then after eating breakfast or lunch you forget when you go back and when you come back you forget. You will look over there and then you will forget. You must be wide awake and say God please give this pygmy wisdom and understanding that I would be able to understand the truth --------13:36------this is God’s voice, I hope that you will pray like this. If we are a little bit more degenerated we also, may not be able been saved I hope you will know that you are barely saved I hope that you will listen very, very carefully. There is children’s bible story a ten volume bible story and it has this color pictures that are drawn paintings and out of all the people there the most beautiful is Adam and Eve. When we go to heaven when we meet Adam and Eve I’m sure they will all look ten times a hundred time more beautiful than in the ----14:21--- why? Because this pygmies draw this pictures what if we really see them in person why do you think they would be so beautiful and handsome  So how much more good looking must our Father be, our is the best looking in this universe we left our Father for thousands of years we did drink the water of life or eat the fruit the life for thousands of years and though our Jesus called us but the food that we eat on this earth is like the food of animals though we become so degenerated we barely see that we have to wear glasses we can’t even hear we became blind and deaf too, all was completely blind and deaf. How pitiful we have become we who are Gods should have fly throughout the universe some while walking they sprain their ankle or they even break their ankle then now can you brag to everyone that our Father in Heaven is so good looking? Then what kind of part does he have is he such a scary God as they say in the world who only likes to judge, let’s learn of his Inner heart.

[Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of His own accord, but only what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son does likewise] (John 5: 19). 

He is a diligent Father. Churches today think that God has merely sitting on His throne without doing anything and demands worship and glory from men and angels, as if He were thirsty for glory and worship and worship like king  Jinsi in Chinese history. He does not want glory and worship at all.

Even if the entire churches of the world do not give glory and worship, there are trillions of His own children in the universe. He does no desire worship and glory from men merely sitting on His throne; He is a diligent Father of ours. He is the best Worker, Laborer in the universe. We will learn about that couple of days later.

Look at the sky. Who made that? Don’t you see traces of His labor? Look at the mountains, plains, the world, and the sea. Who made them all? They are traces of our Father’s labor. All flowers in gardens, mountains, and valleys; our Father worked so hard to plant them all. He is our diligent Father who has been working so hard ever since the beginning. He works so hard. Even for a single child of His He works as hard as His hands are worn out. Those sky, mountains, plains… Have our ancestors made them? They all display traces of our Father’s labor. And how come people regard His as a greedy tyrant who merely demands worship and glory on His throne? Please don’t be fooled by fake doctrines.

God is not that all. He is a tender Father who works hard day and night for the happiness of His children. And as His efforts are not recognized by them, He sobs, sighs, and weeps. Let us accept His love.

So let’s read from the middle of page 42.

(M20) “Since He possesses affection just as we do, He loves one whom He loves, hates one whom He hates. When His love is rejected by His earthly children whom He pursued with one-sided love, He gets disappointed and become jealous behind their back. It is because He loves them too much: if He did not love them, He would not become jealous. Therefore His jealousy is an expression of His ardent love for them. And He feels happy at the sight of happiness, laughs at the sight of fun. He becomes sad at the sight of sorrow, sheds at the sight of greater sorrow, and wails as He sees something even more woeful.”

Let’s read next by turns.

(F19) “He is so compassionate and loving that when He sees pitiful men, He is touched with pity, and would give away everything to comfort them. But He hates and is displeased with those who keep doing things loathsome. When we do something bad, He gets angry with us and as we do worse deeds He become indignant. As we do unbearable things, He arises up to give severe punishment and reprimand.

But if we, though sinful, return and ask for pardon, He changes His mind, and forgives us completely, and never remembers our past. And He restores His peace of mind right away. He is so honest as much as He loathes dishonestly Himself, and faithful, truthful. Therefore even at the risk of His throne and His name, He never changes His promise but always fulfills it.

He repays the good, and the wicked according to what they have done even more perfectly and accurately than a computer or a calculator can, Home-Head of our universal family who is at unceasing work for all His creations, especially for the good of His children, with an effort incomparable to sacrifices and services of any earthly parents for their children. Should we not forget this fact and be thankful for so amazing grace of our Father?”

(M21) “Because He is also an emotional Father Just as we are, He speaks to us as follows, ‘I love Me, and those who seek Me diligently shall find Me.’ (Pro. 8:17) ‘Those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.” (1 Sam. 2:30).

Yes. Do you also love those who love you? Do you honor those who honor you? Do you disregard those who despise you? God is the same. If you truly want to be noble children of heaven, honor God and try to exalt Him.

If anybody tries to tread others down to exalt himself, he is trodden down and lowered. I hope you exalt God. If we glorify God, the whole world cannot put us into shame; they are put into shame themselves. Next.

(M22) “I will show Myself holy among those who are near Me, and before all the people I will be glorified. (Lev. 10:3). Therefore I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, which they may dwell with Me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to Me.” (Ps. 101:6).

Yes. God is glorified by those who come close to Him: that’s how we are to give glory to Him. To closely follow Him does not mean to carry the Bible all the time or to give speeches all the time, but to have God’s character most.

(F20) “Azariah also exclaims, ‘Hear Me…all the Judah…the Lord is with you, while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you’ (2 Chro. 15:2). Elder James also said, ‘Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you’ (James 4:8).”

Yes. If you seek God, He also comes out to seek you; if you seek Him earnestly, what does He do? He is found by you. I hope you ask Him for a date with you. He said, “If you ask Him for a date with you. He said, “If you draw near Me, I will draw near you.”

And Solomon said also, “If you exalt Him, He will exalt you.” I hope you exalt God your Father. Then the Father will also exalt you high as the highest sons and daughters of heaven. Nest what did Jesus say?

(F21) “Jesus said, ‘If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify him immediately.” (John 13:32).

Yes. Jesus who knew the inner heart of God most said, “If God is glorified in you, the Father will also glorify you in Himself, and glorify you how? Immediately. Without delay. No matter how humble, young or weak child give glory to Him, He repays him with courtesy and good manners; He is a gentle Father. He is not arrogant and indifferent but humble, tender and gentle.

When I was a little boy I happened to visit a Buddhist temple with my mother, and saw very old Buddhists keep bowing down to Buddha for so long. As I went there next time, they were doing the same thing again.

“Mom, why do they bow like that every day?”

“Oh, even though they bow a thousand times, the Buddha receives it as if they had done that just once; that’s why however many times they do that, it’s not considered so many.”

Isn’t the God of today’s Christian world the same, who hardly forgives them, once if they beg, pardon scores of or hundreds of times, and still, keeps looking for their faults? Trying to uncover their past sins? Our Father is not that kind of God. If we try to bow to Him like that, He will quickly prevent us saying, “No, dear, what if you get a backache!”

If you glorify God, He will also glorify you before the universe. The reason why churches today are easily put to shame is because they glorify not God but Satan. Churches are supposed to be eldest sons of the universe who are exalted above all countries and people with bright faces wherever they go.

Is it not there is one phoenix among a thousand chickens? They are supposed to be God’s noble sons who carry His character and glory in their countenance just like a phoenix in the midst of chickens.

True religion is to be connected with each other with love. Fake religion gives one-sided love with no return or response. If there had been a return, those Christians might have been transformed into God’s image already. Let us enjoy practical relationship with God. Let’s read the next.

(M23) “Therefore I hope every family member shares love and friendship with our heavenly Father, which the world has no knowledge of, by giving full glory to each other. Now we can see that His Heart and character are not different from ours, and that He made us in perfect accordance with Him not only in His image but also in His character, as He said, “Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness. (Gen. 1:26). If there is any difference, it is that in His heart there is no sin, no evil, and no untruthfulness; and that from the deep of His heart springs forth the fountain of love sinners can not possess or compare with anything. This love is His life and light. If He could be robbed of that love which is His life and light, He would be reduced to nothingness and His life would disappear. His whole self is love. (1 John 4:16)

Yes. When He gave birth to us in the beginning He made us just like Himself with not only His image but His character also: therefore we were born as His real sons and daughters with the same dispositions as His, who feel happy at the sight of happiness and laugh at the sight of fun and cry at the sigh of sorrow. His whole self is love. Our Father’s life is love. So, please repeat after me.

“Love is God’s life.”

““Love is God’s light.”

His whole self is love in other words. He is the source of all love in the universe; he is a lump of love. If he could be robbed of His love, He would be dead. He would turn nothing and dead. His whole self is love, Love is His life. Please read on.

(F22) “He is the source of all love in the universe; He is a bundle of love. To rob Him His love is like removing intensely burning light and heat from the rays of the sun in the midsummer; if it could be done so, not only He himself but the whole universe would become pitch-dark and cold; everything would fall desolate. But for the burning rays of love extending out unceasingly from Him, the universe could not exist; and it is easier and more reasonable for fishes to survive out of water than for the children of men to live without the sun-ray of His love, the light of grace, or for any other worlds in the universe to live without the sun of love springing form Him unceasingly.”

Yes. The entire universe is sustained by the sun-ray of His love every passing moment whether we love Him or not. If the sun-ray of God could be taken away from Him at any moments, the entire universe would turn into pitch-black darkness and be destroyed. That’s why the whole universe cannot exist a single moment apart from our Father.

That’s why the first condition for salvation is to accept God. And then Jesus Christ. Shall I tell you one more thing offensive to your ears? There is no God in the Christian world today. Even if thousands or millions of people assemble there, there is no God with them. You may get offended? There is no God. I speak nothing but truth. Why is there is no God then? I’ll give you evidence.

The life of the sun is light. Is that right? So, the sun and the light cannot stay apart from each other. They remain together. Is that right? Light and the sun share inseparable relationship with each other. God’s life is love. Love is God’s light. So, where is God, love cannot be absent, and where is love, God cannot be absent.

Is there love in churches today? Do you truly believe there is no God in those churches who always fight with other churches, with pastors and elders? If there were God with them, His love would overflow from them like rivers of water and the ocean. If there is love, there must be God there in other words. So, if there is no love in a church, it tells there is no God there. I hope you find out and accept the true God of love here and bring Him to those churches where is no God, so that they can be saved with you together. Let’s read the next.

(M24) “Another difference that He has from the children of earth is…

“Since you readers…”

(M25) “Now, since you readers have learned well about His heart and character, I hope you become His loving sons and daughters who, from now on, render obedience to Him who is love Himself, whose life is love, and whose entirety is love, submitting not for fear of His judgment or punishment but for fear of making Him sad, sigh and cry, and weep for you. And as He  has promised, planned, and desired, He will send His Son at His exact preplanned time and date to bring us back to His everlasting holy city, to live with us forever as He did to Enoch our elder brother, and we shall possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.’ (Dan. 1:18). Amen. Praise the Lord!”

So far we have attended church and obeyed God for fear of being thrown into fire of brimstone or into a fire of hell, of losing eternal life and the heavenly paradise. But that’s not obedience at all. That’s bondage, slavish life. That kind of religion does not give salvation.

But as we found our Father’s heart, we became His good sons and daughters who obey perfectly Him for fear of making Him sad, sigh, and shed tears if we don’t go to heaven. I hope you and I all become His obedient children by knowing His deep heart, sharing inseparable relationship with Him and living with Him in heaven forever.

After singing the Song No.242 may anybody pray? Let’s sing the 3^rd stanza twice.
