Descendants Must Live for Their Ancestors to Live

Descendants Must Live for Their Ancestors to Live

 

In the coming time of the Autumn Gaebyeok at least one descendant must survive in order for all their ancestors to survive.

 

Consider an ancient millennium-old tree. The tree has completely rotted except for a sprout or two jutting from an exposed root. If this sprout is yanked out, the tree will not be able to produce another bud or shoot and will suffocate to death, for its ‘breathing hole’ has been cut off.

 

Just as a thousand-year-old tree will regain life if a single sprout survives and grows, a primogenitor forefather lives onward if even one of his descendants survives. As long as that descendant can produce at least a single child, his countless ancestors spanning hundreds of generations will live onward in the realm of spirits.

 

In the coming times, if not even a single descendant survives—in other words, if not even a single descendant dwells within Sangjenim’s truth—their ancestors will all perish as well. They will all disappear like so much smoke.

 

Descendants are the ‘breathing holes’ of their ancestors!

 

Just as we must breathe or we cannot survive, ancestors will have no place to turn if they lack descendants. For all people, their ancestors are their roots; and for all ancestors, their descendants are their sprouts, their breathing holes. In this way, ancestors and descendants are inseparably and absolutely joined together.

 

And so, in the heavenly realm at this very moment, the ancestral spirits of every family name are in an uproar about saving at least one of their descendants. Are not the seeds of humanity to be harvested during the summer-autumn transition, after the era of cultivation during cosmic spring and summer? In this era, when the &gaebyeok& of humanity will be waged in heaven and earth, the ancestral spirits of every family name are struggling desperately to save their descendants.
