It took me six months trying to convince my mother
Hyung Jin Moon, 2nd King
August 30, 2026
Everyone should be good and should be very gentle. But no matter how gentle we are, no matter how good we are, we are just ordinary people, we are sinful. If you look at the secrets in our hearts, we have many secrets. We have greed, we have avarice, we have covetousness, envy; these are all secrets. Others cannot see, but who can see? God can see. People should be good, but they are sinful, they have secret sins.
God has no sin, not even a little bit. For example, we often look at a candle, at its light, its flame, right? We look at the candle flame, it's such a small flame, such a small light. But such a small flame cannot enter the darkness. It cannot enter such a small flame. Do you understand? How can darkness enter? How can sin enter the light of God, which is greater than the sun? Do you understand? It cannot, right? So, we see, we all have this secret. These are the people we meet in our daily lives, the gentle, the very good people. We may appear to be good, but if we look honestly into our hearts, there's a secret, isn't there? This secret, to us, is very small, a minor sin. But you see, God has no sin, not even the slightest. Do you understand? To God, even the slightest sin is extremely great, because He has no darkness. Do you understand?
For us, compared to those bad people, like Mao Zedong or Hitler, we think we're better than them, right? Better than Mao Zedong. “I've never killed anyone, I've never done that, I haven't committed that kind of sin. “But God says, "I can see into your heart, I can see into your heart." And if God sees into our hearts, we have many secrets, right? This is what sin is: sin is a debt in the spiritual realm.
Fourteen years ago, during the time when True Father (Sun Myung Moon) was alive, we saw the movement of Han Hak-ja, (Rev. Moon ex-wife) the Babylonian adulteress, begin, and she created that women's society, wanting to change all of True Father's divine teachings. What is He saying? If you change one sentence, all the diseases and curses in the Bible can strike you, right? It's the same thing; she changed all the classic, definitive statements of True Father, and God's way.
We all saw that in the hospital she also wanted to remove the machine that helped True Father breathe. They wanted to remove it. Only True Father's successor, inheritor, the Second King, and Kook Jin Nim, who also arrived; only two people, and Pak Bo Hi, who also agreed with us opposed it. No one can decide the moment of True Father's holiness; only God can, right? Only God can.
We see this, the leaders in this house, all of them are going to betray their faith. We see, there is also True Father, the Holy One. So, True Father can choose when, in a few minutes, a few hours, a few seconds.
He gave Han Hak-ja a great test, didn't He? When True Father was alive, Han Hak-ja could follow Him. She didn't need to choose for herself, right? She could only follow him. But after He was sanctified, He gave her a very big test. What was the test? What do you love? Do you love Christ, or do you love money? That's the question. You have to answer what it is, right? So, she began to betray the faith and destroy all the foundations of True Father.
At that time, it took me six months to persuade my mother. I hugged my mother every day and said "Mom, I beg you, I beg you, don't betray me and come to the Lord again. Curses will strike you; judgment will strike you. Aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid of Christ? If you give yourself honor, you will be destroyed. What does the Bible say? All of us need to give honor to Christ, not to us. We are sinners, we need to give all the honor, to whom? To Christ, right?” But at that time, completely, sinfully, she drank the wine of the spirit world, the wine of Satan, and she was drunk.
Easterners often say that Eastern mothers always protect their children; this is a commitment. But it's a lie. Why doesn't my mother protect her children? And what about her husband? Not just any husband, right? Not just any husband; this husband is the Second Coming, the Savior that all religions in the world are waiting for. But she couldn’t see Him, so what did she choose? She chose money and power.
She yelled "I have absolute power!" Her face turned demonic. What was this? I'd never seen anyone say anything like that. This was madness. What was this? In Chinese idioms, what? Power intoxication. She was completely intoxicated by her own desires and power.
Family Federation raised a lot of capital and had a lot of money, so they thought they could play around, right? She told Tim Elder: (the president) "Why are you supporting the Second King? (Rev. Moon’s heir) He has nothing left. We have all the money, we can play around for two hundred years, trillions of dollars." Right? The 2nd King said goodbye. He said no, no need, I will follow the Second Coming Lord.
We can see what they're thinking; they're happy. We stole all the money; we can control all the countries. Their arrogance grew, grew, grew. Very much so. I cried every day, cried, and hugged my mother. “Mother, I beg you, I beg you, please, don't betray True Father. You are not God.” She cried out, "I am God!" “No, Mother! Mother, you will be judged”. Do you know what I'm saying?
She cut us off, she cut us off, didn't she? True Father chose Cain and Abel (Hyung Jin Moon and Kook Jin Moon) she cut us off. So, for 14 years, we were in the deep mountains, in the northeastern parts of America, in Pennsylvania, deep in the mountains and forests, with nothing left. All had a broken faith. To the Second Coming of the Lord, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, all sang the false anthem of the Kingdom of Heaven. Before Heaven, this is a great sin!
In the forest, deep in the mountains, we had nothing, no food to eat, only my family and the families of Kook Jin Nim. In the world, everyone sings other countries' national anthems, but in the mountains of Pennsylvania, deep in the mountains, Cain, and Abel, (Hyung Jin Moon and Kook Jin Moon) chosen by True Father, sang the national anthem of Heaven. Black bears and deer were our friends; the animals sang with us.
People in the world say we are all unfilial children. Why? Because we protected our True Father. They began to criticize us and even attack us with the law. Their arrogance stems from their desire for us to have too much money. What about the Second Coming of the Lord? His successors, His inheritors, have no money at all. He is in a garbage bag; garbage is his window, his house. And yet they used so much money on luxury and spent so much on entertainment. Fourteen years later, they were completely ruined, utterly ruined. Han Hak-ja betrayed her promise and received the judgment of the True Father in Heaven. Now she lives in prison. How fast. They thought they could play around for two hundred years. No, not fourteen years. From a historical perspective, fourteen years is very fast, very short, isn't it?
Jesus prophesied that the Temple in Jerusalem would be destroyed. Forty years later, the Temple was destroyed. The Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. But from our historical perspective, those forty years were very short. However, 14 years is shorter than 40 years, right? 14 years is much faster than 40 years.
She also secretly took trillions of dollars, a sum far greater than the Temple in Jerusalem. No matter how much money you have, even trillions, if you are faithless, God and Christ will surely judge you. History has shown us all. This is the fate of Han Hak-ja, the Babylonian adulteress.
They forgot who Christ was, didn't they? They forgot what chapter of the Gospel of John said who God was, didn't they? They forgot that they could see His power, His authority, His status, the money He controlled. Now nothing is left. Japan and South Korea destroyed them. How do you explain such a strange history? No one can fake it so quickly. No, that's not our ability. What is it? The True Father, truly Christ, truly the Second Coming. Because He is real. Christians and Jews say He's a fake. Han Hak-ja also says He's a fake. She pretended, she pretended she was God. Han Hak-ja pretended, didn't she? Then she failed.
If this isn't a lie, then their prophecy of the Three-Generation Kingship needs to be debunked. But 13 or 14 years ago, you all heard the prophecy of the Three-Generation Kingship: a world judgment, world war, the Bible speaks of disease, war, economic destruction, and so on. Why? This is a cosmic-level depravity, not a minor depravity, not a family-level depravity; this is cosmic-level. But they laughed, they laughed: "We'll have fun, eat expensive food, drink expensive beverages." Right? They thought True Father's foundation was their ability.
Oh, they were completely intoxicated by power; they were so intoxicated. This is the meaning of madness, isn't it? Only one person can create such history; no ordinary person can create such history. No ordinary person can use a national government to destroy, completely destroy this organization, right? There are tens of thousands of religious organizations in the world; how could this group, this organization that has betrayed the faith of the Second Coming be destroyed? What is the probability of this? It's an impossible probability. There are tens of millions of religious organizations in the world. How come that organization called "The True Father," which was treacherous and had a lot of money, was completely destroyed? It was destroyed faster than the Temple in Jerusalem in forty years. They said "True Father" wasn't a fake and looked at the result…
Father chose me, the second-generation king, I didn’t choose myself, right? The True Father chose me. He chose His successor, His representative. He also wrote something: "All others are destroyers and heretics." At the time, we didn't know. We thought this was the trial of the Kwak Group with the brother Hyun Jin. But now we can see, right? It's not just the Kwak Group, it's also Han Hak-ja's betrayal.
If we forget who Christ is, we have nothing. If we don't have Christ, we have nothing, no Kingdom of Heaven, no salvation, no great love, no precious lineage. We have no lineage, we have nothing; we are just like animals, aren't we? We live deep in the mountains, we've trained a lot, it's a lonely journey, but more and more people are listening to the spiritual words of the Heir of The Lord of the Second Coming. Now, the whole world can see the consequences of Han Hak-ja’s betrayal, like the adulterous woman of Babylon.
So many of the members turn back quickly! The Bible says that our sin is a spiritual debt. Chinese, and people of other East Asian descent, they love money, right? So, they know that debt is dangerous. They are afraid of debt. Spiritual debt is our sin, isn't it? If we have a lot of debt, it's a huge burden, a very heavy weight, right? We can't sleep; we need peace. We are constantly stressed. Why? Because thugs can come in and beat us up.
They can harass us; thugs can come and threaten us, right? You're about to pay, aren't you? It's the same in the spirit world. Because we have sins, we have spiritual debts. Thugs, demons, and devils from the spirit world can all come into our homes, into our hearts, and attack, beat, and harass us. Why are we in debt? Our debts are increasing, increasing every day. They are increasing every day.
Every man, every ten seconds, looks at and thinks of a naked woman. That's what science says. So, every day we increase our sinful debt; every day this weight becomes heavier, bigger, right?
So, what do we do? How do we receive that freedom and liberation? There is one person, one person who can erase our debts, such a heavy weight, such a heavy burden, such great difficulties, such great troubles. Who is it? He is the Lord Second Advent, the only begotten Son of God. He can forgive our debts. So, what does He go on? What journey does He take? The journey of sacrifice, the journey of bloodshed, for us. He goes on the journey of Seven-deaths and resurrection, for our liberation. He also forgave us, and He paid our debts personal debts, family debts, racial debts, national debts, social debts, and debts of our ancestors in the spirit world.
Give us complete liberation, give us a new life, a new plan, a new breath, a new future, a new eternal kingdom. His precious blood, His resurrected blood from Seven-deaths, endured all torment, hardship, and suffering for us. He forgives the debts we have committed, so our weight, we are liberated from that weight. If we want Christ, we have no burden; we are completely liberated.
We are not people in debt. What are we? We are the richest people. What kind of rich? We are people of heavenly wealth, right? We are not poor people; we are the richest people because He has given us assets from the Kingdom of Heaven. He has blessed Central blessed families, Central blessed couples, and the energy to change the world.
For example, Christ is also like that. Who is Christ? Our sins are not just debts; what else are our sins? They are like cancer, a serious illness, right? Just like cancer. We talk about cancer as a very frightening disease, but cancer starts from tiny cancer cells.
Great sins are the same; they start from tiny cells, just like cancer, right? For example, the Bible describes such a disease, and sin is also like cancer, a great disease. We all have great diseases; we all have cancer, spiritual cancer. We cannot and do not have the ability to heal ourselves. We are afraid, we are very nervous, we know we will die soon, right?
But there was a man, a doctor. Christ said, "I am a doctor. I can heal your illness." He removed our cancerous tumors. These cancerous cells and tumors, flew over, flew over and landed on Christ. He went to sweep away the journey, bleeding. Our cancer landed on Christ. He removed our cancer. He gave us freedom, but He got sick, He got sick for us. He took away our cancer. Why? Because this is the precious lineage of God's great love. No one loves us like this, but our Creator loves us like this, right? He took away our cancer, the cancer of our personalities, our families, our clans, our nations, the cancer of our ancestors in the spiritual realm, as well as the difficulties and suffering He endured from cancer. He liberated us, gave us freedom, gave us a new life, and gave us a new future, right?
So, what is this? This is true love, the precious lineage of selfless, sacrificial love. If we don't have this precious lineage we have no hope; we only have a great debt, a great cancer. But if we have this precious lineage, we don't have cancer, we don't have such debt, and thugs can't harass us. If you don't have debt, thugs can't harass you, right? It's the same. So, in Christ, we receive all liberation, and our ancestors also received all liberation; they cried in the spirit world for thousands and hundreds of thousand years.
It's Ghost Month in China and Taiwan now, and many Taiwanese people are thinking about their ancestors or the ghosts of poverty. They don't know that in the spirit world, our ancestors also weep, suffer, and have debts. Their spiritual cancer is very troublesome, very difficult, and very painful. So, they want to help their descendants, their descendants living on earth. “Hey, go and follow the Second Coming Lord to liberate us. “Why is the weight and burden of this debt, this spiritual cancer, this serious illness so great? We can't live like this forever, right? So, Christ saves us.
Why? Because of His great love. So, we learn from Christ what great love, true love, is. It's not just a pleasant feeling. It's not just a good emotion, right? It's not like that. What is true love? It's sacrificial love, the love of shedding blood for children, the love of a father, right?
It's the precious lineage of great love. This precious lineage comes from our God. You see, the very essence of the Creator of the universe, it comes from the precious lineage, the precious lineage of holy wine.
They forgot who Christ was; they believed in themselves. Fourteen years later, they were quickly and completely destroyed, weren't they? So, the True Father descended from heaven to give all the descendants of the Kingdom of Heaven, right? You cannot leave True Father and gain your own life. You cannot, you cannot leave Christ and receive eternal life by your own efforts. You don't have that power. Only the Creator has that power, right?
The precious lineage of Christ has completely changed our destiny. The Chinese say, "Wish you good luck, good luck," they say it like that, right? How can our destiny be changed? It cannot be changed without Christ. Why? Christ is the only begotten Son of God, the Lord Second Coming, Maitreya Buddha, the real Mahdi and King of Peace. From Him, we receive all the assets of the Kingdom of Heaven, as well as the gifts of the Kingdom of Heaven, the gifts of grace, right? Therefore, we constantly praise Him.
Han Hak-ja chose to oppose. Han Hak-ja the Babylonian adulteress, she chose, “I will praise myself. I will give myself honor”. It will soon be destroyed, so we pray for them. We pray for them every day, that they will return soon, that they will repent and return soon. She cannot return and stand in the position of the True Mother, she cannot, but in the position of a common servant, she can.
Because in those 14 years, there was a woman who got this victory, namely Mother Kang. All the leaders betrayed the True Father, and at this time, there was only one; she is the first disciple, in the south. She returned and found True Father's Three-Generation Kingship, saying that True Father told her that "I need to follow you." We were all shocked because we didn't call her. True Father came from the spirit world to tell her. She was 90 years old at the time, which was very dangerous; such an old person couldn't possibly travel by plane. But she said, "No matter if I die, I will definitely go to see the Three-Generation Kingship." When we were in the mountains, she said this to us. After you all have heard this, all the leaders, what did they choose? Money, status. What did they choose? Power. They were all intoxicated by power.
But there was an honest, faithful woman; she wasn't very tall, she was rather small, she was very humble. She lived her whole life for Christ, didn't have much money, prayed often, and traveled to other countries to spread the gospel. She had a humble faith, didn't she?
A clear faith and love. From a young age, she wanted that; she wanted to fight with True Father. Since she was a Christian preacher, she said, “I can fight this heretic”. She talked to True Father, and she also received that preaching, right? She was witnessed to by the True Father, together reading the Bible, understanding the Principle, teaching the Principle, and changing her destiny.
At that time, she didn't know that one day she would become the True Mother. She didn't know, did she? Nobody knew. But now, from Pusan to now, we can see, we can understand this wondrous journey. The poorest, youngest, and least attractive first female disciple, her love for True Father, wasn't it the greatest?
So, Mother Kang has the victory. Han Hak-ja couldn't win. She threw away all her money, all her status. What did she have left? Serving Christ, right? Following Christ, holding onto Christ, and she received eternal glory.
Let's give Mother Kang a big round of applause! Okay, good, good, good. Mother Kang is such an amazing mother. Therefore, we are truly the children of our parents, wishing them eternal life. We are not poor, we are not in debt, we are not with cancer, not even spiritual cancer. We are healthy, we are the richest, right? Because what do we have? We have the precious lineage of great love, which is heavenly money descending from heaven, heavenly money and precious lineage. Heavenly money is following me, right?
So, this year, on the 14th anniversary of True Father’s Seonghwa, we absolutely must remember what is the most important. The most important is the great love and precious lineage of God, right?
If you understand what I'm saying, look at the people on your left and on your right and say, "Heavenly money, come down. Heavenly money, precious lineage, heavenly money follows me." Okay, let's meditate together.
