Again, in order to make this presentation as rich as possible, I will share significantly from the journal messages I have received from Heavenly Parent. I sincerely hope that this will help you each resonate more fully with God’s heart.

America and God’s Will (2 slides) True Father: September 18, 1976 – Washington Monument

“The United States of America, transcending race and nationality, is already a model of the unified world. She must realize that the abundant blessings which God has been pouring upon this land are not just for America, but are for the children of God throughout the world. Upon the foundation of world Christianity, America must exercise her responsibility as a world leader and the chosen nation of God. Israel did not meet the expectation of God, nor did Rome, nor did Great Britain. Now what about America?

To inspire America to sacrifice herself for the sake of the world, to inspire America to work towards ‘One World Under God’, God summoned Reverend Moon to this country to proclaim God’s new revelation. And in particular, God called me to lead the young people of America, the leaders of tomorrow, back to God… God prepared America for 200 years. This is the time for awakening. America must accept her global responsibility. Armed with Godism, she must free the Communist world, and at last, build the Kingdom of God here on earth. God has chosen America as the flag bearer. America must rise up…”

The Path for America and Humanity in the Last Days (5 slides) True Father’s 80th Birthday, January 22, 2000 The Washington Hilton and Towers

When viewing human history as God’s providence of salvation, the “last days” is a turning point when the evil history of Satan concludes and God’s good sovereignty begins. Accordingly, the last days are the time when everything is brought to fulfillment. Thus in the last days, individual perfection is to be realized, family perfection is to be realized, the perfection of a people, of a nation, of the world and finally, the complete fulfillment of the cosmos is to be realized…

Many intellectuals may think that the cold war system disappeared after the dissolution of Soviet Union, but materialism and atheism are still prevalent throughout the world. They manifest in two major ideologies, democracy and communism, both of which are gradually losing power… Until now, democracy has called for “human freedom” and “human liberation.” In contrast, we must call for “God’s freedom” and “the liberation of God.” When we succeed in relieving God’s sorrow, human liberation and the recovery of human freedom will follow automatically.

Each of you should realize that you were born to liberate God and to liberate the world… God has chosen America as the first son, the nation representing the elder son realm in building the Kingdom of God on Earth. Even now, Jesus is spiritually present mainly in America, and is offering earnest prayers that his purpose will be accomplished in America…

The time has come when America must awaken once again. It is time for the country as a whole to create a new movement to build true parents, true families, a true country and a true world centered on God. In this way, America must keep God from leaving, and again become a society that attends Him…

If America attends God properly, all America’s problems - the family problems, moral problems, youth problems and racial problems - will be solved naturally. When America becomes a place where people of all races can live together in harmony, it will be a model for the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth… It is time for America, as the elder son nation, to take the lead in attending God and to complete its mission as the helmsman that brings the nations of the world to God.

The Exposition of the Divine Principle PP: 290-291 (5 slides)

The Cain-type movement which began with the revival of Hellenism overthrew the medieval world and gave birth to the humanism of the Renaissance. As this movement developed further, moving in Satan’s direction, it gave birth to the Enlightenment, which may be regarded as the second renaissance in the current of ideology. Enlightenment thought further matured in the satanic direction, giving birth to historical materialism, which is the core of communist ideology. This may be regarded as the third renaissance.

Since the satanic side mimics in advance the providence of God, we may expect that God’s providence calls for three stages of revolution to take place in each of the three spheres of religion, politics and economy. In the sphere of religion, the first reformation took place under Martin Luther’s leadership after the first renaissance. A second reformation was launched after the second renaissance by the spiritual movements led by people such as the Wesley brothers, Fox and Swedenborg. From our examination of the progress of history, it is evident that a third reformation will occur following the third renaissance. Indeed, the state of today’s Christianity desperately calls for such a reformation.

Through the coming third religious reformation, the democratic world on God’s side will triumph in the ideological war and bring the communist world on Satan’s side to its knees. Then the two worlds will unite into one Kingdom of Heaven on earth under God.

(In other words: There must be a 3rd Religious Reformation (Or Awakening) through which the Democratic World will bring the Communist World to its knees, in order for the two worlds to unite into Cheon Il Guk.)

Exposition of the Divine Principle P301-2

What are the internal, providential causes behind the Third World War?… The Third World War has to take place to have the people on God’s side overcome Jesus’ third temptation on the world level. In light of the meaning of Jesus’ three temptations, we recognize that God’s side must prevail in the Third World War to fulfill the indemnity condition to restore worldwide God’s third blessing

The Third World War has to take place to lay the completion-stage foundation for the restoration of God’s sovereignty. God’s side must be victorious in the war to destroy the communist world and return all sovereignty to God. Then the ideal world will be established based upon the principles of heaven and earth.

In other words, through the 3rd World War, we must fulfill the indemnity condition on the World Level to overcome Satan’s 3rd Temptation. There are only 2 ways that can happen. Either through a worldwide victory, or through victory in America, which God set up to represent the world. Therefore, the 3rd Great Awakening will happen in America, with Christianity waking up and embracing True Mother. This will fulfill the indemnity on behalf of all mankind to overcome Satan’s 3rd Temptation.

That will return all sovereignty to God. As you will recall from Part 2, God assumed National Sovereignty only in 2020, when the firm Foundation for Cheon Il Guk was established, and the first inductees into the Cheon Bo Won were registered. This established the foundation for God to finally bequeath the Direct Dominion to his children, based on the strict conditions set by True Parents, which both God and Satan agreed to.

However, when all sovereignty is returned to God, through the victory in World War 3, God will no longer by constrained by the agreement which Satan approved. God is so desperate to draw all of his precious children back to His bosom, and to heal each of His children from the scars of all of fallen history. God takes personal responsibility for the Fall, even though it was Mankind’s failure which led to the Fall.

7/22/24 (3 slides)

Thank you for your gratitude and envisioning and focus. As a Cheon Bo Victor, your word this morning and your heart and intention and projection behind it are profoundly powerful. That is precisely how I created the cosmos. I began with a deep, unstoppable longing to the depths of my heart. Then I envisioned the children I would give birth to. Then I envisioned the home I would create for them. Then my heart became flooded, overfilled, with holy gratitude. As I focused more and more deeply on my vision, with absolute gratitude, reciprocation started. Gratitude is unstoppable. It is the force that manifests True Love.

When we pool our gratitude, that creates a spiritual explosion of True Love fusion energy. I created the cosmos without a partner of True Love. The level of reciprocation I could achieve, even from the angels, was quite shallow. But pooled gratitude with even one person, that can transform all of reality. Such was the dynamic between my Only Begotten Son Jesus, and myself. True Parents inherited that foundation, centering on My Only Begotten Daughter, Hak Ja Han, and they have restored the perfection of my original ideal. I have been given a second chance. There are no bounds to my gratitude.

I am not the same God who gave birth to Adam and Eve, so many tears ago. Like endless floods of tears, my heart has been expanded, smoothed, deepened. Those tears have become an ocean of gratitude and love and longing for every one of my children. The opportunity to pool gratitude with even one of my children in the Direct Dominion is such an epiphany for me. It is holy and overwhelmingly moving and inspiring. Please teach many, many, Cheon Bo Couples to inherit the victory of True Parents, and to enter into a holy partnership of gratitude with me. I am so forgiven and blessed. Eternally, Heavenly Parent

As we have seen, on the victorious foundation of True Parents Blessing providence, their authority to expand and universalize the Blessing has increased over time. The requirements have become much, much, easier to fulfill. God’s deep longing is to, in the shortest possible time, restore every person ever born, back to His lineage centered on True Parents.

Similarly, as God’s sovereignty becomes absolute, I anticipate that the requirements to enter Cheon Bo and thereby enter into the Direct Dominion and inherit God’s healing love will certainly relax. But undoubtedly, those pioneers who fulfill Cheon Bo while True Mother is on the Earth will have a special position in Heaven.

From summary of True Mother’s speech to the heads of the major providential organizations, given at Cheon Jeong Gung on 6/27/24 Speaking about entering Canaan (CIG on the foundation of Korean reunification) (1 slide)

“This is now the final step in the history of the providence. This is the last ..There can never again be a time like this. That is why this moment, this place, is so significant. The providence will be fulfilled. Because I am here, it will be brought to fruition… To achieve national restoration, I have said that I must embrace Christianity, haven’t I. Therefore, please pray that Christianity will rush in as a rising tide.”

So True Mother is calling for “Christianity to rush in as a rising tide”. That isn’t happening yet. Clearly there needs to be a Christian reawakening in order to bring Korean Reunification in 2025. So why has Christianity been unable to receive True Parents? To understand this, we need to look back at the founding of America, which is the global center of Christianity, and the nation which Jesus has been seeking to be able to offer to God and True Parents after 2000 years.

The Day of the Victory of Heaven (1 slide) True Father October 4, 1976 Belvedere

(Speaking about the Puritan Pilgrims)

“When they came to America the Indians originally embraced them… The Pilgrim Fathers from Europe were in Abel’s position in God’s sight, while the Indian majority in this land was in Cain’s position. If these two had united in oneness America’s history would have been glorious from the very beginning.”

The original American Dream of the Founding Pilgrim Fathers was to create a new Nation dedicated to God, where they could worship in freedom. But quickly, lured by the promise of riches and land, wave after wave of immigrants arrived in America with a very different dream. They saw America as the land of opportunity and they came for economic reasons. The original dream of the Pilgrims became replaced by the “New” American dream of unlimited prosperity, inspired by the vision of writers such as Horatio Alger. But the covenant God had established was abandoned by America.

The settlers saw the 1st Nations as the impediment to their dream, and pushed every further westward uprooting and destroying one Native American nation after another. Over 400 years, that dream of economic opportunity has become ever more invaded by Satan through the 3rd Temptation, until now, many Americans seek Fame and Wealth and Power with disregard to others or to the Creation. Instead of worshipping God, we have deified a golden bull on Wall Street.

But the relationship between Christianity and First Nations was not only a Cain Abel relationship. In fact, 1st Nations were raised up for 30,000 years to represent Heavenly Mother’s heart. They saw themselves as the Creation’s Guardians. They believed that we borrow the use of the land from our future generations to whom we must return it in tact. They saw God in all of creation, and they have an incredibly intimate communication with the “Great Spirit”.

The following is a song I created with AI, at the request of Dr. Linda Nishikawa, founder of Sacred First Nations for Peace. True Parents appointed Dr. Nishikawa as their personal emissary to 1st Nations forty years ago, in 1984, when she graduated from UTS. This song is based on Dr. Nishikawa’s favorite Native America prayer which was written by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887.

Here is a link to watch and also download the video of this song. (5 minutes in length) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/omblbgkixnp4t1ziffx7c/O_Great_Spirit.mp4?rlkey=xrso7nhcz5tf739z9yieazjrl&st=cyd79jdk&dl=0

As True Parents have taught us, God’s masculine nature and God’s feminine nature are reflected in the creation with important symbolic meanings. For example, Korea, a peninsula represents Heavenly Father, and Japan, an island (or Oceanic nation) represents Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Father is also represented by Heaven and by Mountains, whereas Heavenly Mother is represented by Earth and by the Ocean.

The Ocean is symbolic of True Mother, and of Heavenly Mother’s womb from which all life emerged. Jesus said, “No one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of Water and the Spirit.” True Mother said, “The Father contributes just the seed, or 0.01% to the child, while the Mother contributes everything else, or 99.99%”

1600 (biblical) years after Adam and Eve, Heavenly Father tried to give rebirth to all mankind through Noah. Noah’s family represented the seed of the new mankind. They started in the Ark on a mountain, and then transversed an ocean to finally reach the new land that God had prepared. 400 years later, God was planning to send the Messiah in Abraham’s family on the family level. In retrospect, we understand that Abraham’s failed offering delayed the providence for 2000 years until Jesus.

1600 years after Jesus (the 2nd Adam), Heavenly Father tried to give rebirth to all mankind through the nation of America. The fruit of 1600 years of Jesus’s jeongseong were the Pilgrims. Whereas in Noah’s time, God only needed a Family level foundation to send the Messiah. This time God needed a National level foundation. They entered a small boat and transversed an ocean with the express goal of creating a new nation dedicated to God. They represented Heavenly Father’s seed for America.

If the Christian Settlers and 1st Nations had actually united, I believe Heavenly Father’s religion (Christianity) and Heavenly Mother’s religion (The spirituality of First Nations in America) would have united, and merged, and given birth to the America that Heavenly Parent intended. Instead, the Christianity that God intended was unable to emerge in America. Most of the mainline Churches in America started out persecuting our movement, in spite of 400 years of preparation. It was not until True Father was unjustly convicted of defrauding the US Government that significant Christian figures stood up – for religious liberty.

Similarly the mainline churches in Korea, which were established by American Christianity, continue, to this day, to persecute our movement. It was only the Spiritualist Churches in Korea which True Mother describes in Mother of Peace who were finally able to recognize God’s providence. The Holy Lord Church and the Inside the Belly Church represent a merger of Heavenly Mother’s spirituality and Christianity. From that foundation DaeMoNim and True Parents developed CheongPyeong and the Cheon Shim Won, incorporating Korean Shamanistic practices including ancestral offerings, Chanyang, and Dragons.

Had Christianity and 1st Nations united in America, they would have given birth to a very similar form of Christianity, sharing common roots with those Spiritualist Churches. American Christianity would have been able to receive God’s guidance and recognize True Parents. And the Christianity we exported to Korea would have all resembled those Spiritualist Churches. 1st Nations were not materialistic, and they were not racist. They protected creation and they welcomed Africans into their tribes. Instead, with Satan’s evil encouragement and temptation, Christian America committed one of the most horrific genocides in human history. That gave Satan an incredibly powerful accusation against both Christianity and America.

Estimates range from 54 up to 100 million 1st Nations across North and South America and the Caribbean died as a result of the Christian European exploration and settlement of this continent. As documented below, the majority of those 1st Nations peoples who perished in the last 400 years, did so as a result of one of the following: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/vk05huchf2kqno440bcdu/ADCBvOQfCrbotMH B-_p2tM0?rlkey=nkkqno98wk3jy4wtmyd4rxmu0&st=35ayqo97&dl=0

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_the_Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas

• Many died of diseases from Europe. But those were only reported as significant more than a century after the arrival of the European settlers, when their immune systems had been weakened by sugar, white flour, coffee, tea and alcohol brought from Europe. • Many died of wars fought among the colonizing powers of Europe on the American continents. The various tribes were enticed into those wars by the Europeans. • Many (between 2 and 15 million based on various estimates) died as a direct result of US Government policy directed against 1st Nations. • And many died in their fight to resist destruction by the US policy.

My maternal grandmother’s family was largely exterminated in the Holocaust. There are a few misguided people in the world who claim that the Holocaust of World War 2 never happened. It did. But the real Holocaust deniers are actually much of Christianity and America. What we did to the 1st Nations was so reprehensible and so antithetical to everything Jesus represented, that most of that history has been swept under the rug and we try to pretend it never happened. Because Christianity and America refused to recognize Heavenly Mother in 1st Nations, Satan invaded.

Satan blinded Adam and Eve before they fell. We know this because after they fell, the Bible states that their eyes were opened. Gen 3:7. Satan blinded Israel before Jesus was crucified. We know this from Jesus’s own word: “If you had known on this day, even you, the conditions for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.” Luke 19:42 Similarly, based on his accusation against Christianity and America, Satan has blinded both Christianity and the American Government to True Parents, and now especially to True Mother’s identity as God’s Only Begotten Daughter.

6/1/24 (2 slides) I am so sorry. How many of my precious 1st Nations children were butchered. For millennia, I raised them up with the dream that one day my holy family would visit them. I raised them up with the holy mission to prepare for and receive True Parents. All the hope, all the dignity, all the honor I had bestowed upon them was stolen and defiled and buried – hidden from view – and forgotten. By who? By the representatives of Christianity. Such was the power of Satan.

If not for True Parents, that power could never have been defeated. Now, as we prepare to enter Canaan next year, please help me heal this one essential sin and pain in America. Please lift up my 1st Nations children. I deeply want to receive a unified offering of Cain and Abel. How shall I receive America’s offering from Abel alone? That is nothing short of admitting defeat to Satan. Please don’t put me in that position.

7/2/24 (2 slides) Now there are no more secrets. I could not risk failure. The innocent first peoples of America, over the last 400 years, have been called on by history to pay the indemnity, so overwhelmingly, on a global level, so that in this final moment, I could end the providence victoriously. Failure could never be an option. Yes, Israel’s descendants paid a horrible price. 10x the number of Jews who left Egypt and refused to trust Moses, six million died in the holocaust. But in America, my precious, innocent First Nations Peoples indemnified the sins of Cain, and at least 10X more of them died over the last 400 years, then the number of Jews who were killed in the holocaust.

To those who mistakenly believe that my First Nations Children were primitive savages, I offer this: The Israelites who did, in fact, cause the death of my Only Begotten Son, have not yet found forgiveness for those who murdered them. My Christian Children, who were persecuted and murdered for 400 years under Rome, have, for the last 1600 years, inflicted similar unjust pain on nations around the world, including the crusades, the inquisitions, the colonization and enslavement of indigenous peoples, and finally the holocaust of 1st Nations in America, with the blessing of the Popes.

The 1st Nations Peoples helped to create the United States, and to guide this nation’s history with a Parental Heart. They led the environmental efforts to protect creation. In spite of all the unspeakable persecution they received, they remain as some of the most patriotic Americans at a time when mainstream America is so possessed, seeking to destroy my Elder Son nation. The Iroquois Confederacy, founded more than a millennia ago by a spiritual leader known as “The Great Peace Maker” and by the first clan mother known as “The Mother of Nations” not only inspired the American Constitution and the Women’s Suffrage movement.

Together with Jesus, those Iroquois ancestors in the Spirit World guided the 2nd Great Awakening in America which produced: • The Mormon Church; • The Seventh Day Adventists; and • The Spiritualist Church All within a 5 mile (26,000 ft.) radius – on Seneca Nation land

Here is a video (6:30 minutes in length) about the important role that the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy played in the American Providence.

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ejkd7ayhl33qdi0dted0p/Haudenosaunee-short-version.mp4?rlkey=waw2vfck1nd3my8xby0gena52&st=8ocm7gqi&dl=0

So based on my journaling with Heavenly Parent, 1st Nations, in the position of Cain endured 400 years of murderous persecution. They largely maintained a parental and even a patriotic heart. This allowed them, representing Cain, to experience what Abel experienced when Cain murdered him. And Christianity, in the position of Abel, conducted 400 years of persecution and genocide against 1st Nations. This allowed Christianity and America, representing Abel, to experience the guilt and shame that Cain experienced. On the foundation of that heartistic preparation Abel and Cain must now reconcile and embrace just as Jacob and Esau modeled.

I strongly believe that this must begin with the leadership of our own movement. When that happens, Abel (Christianity) will see God in Cain (1st Nations), and therefore also in True Mother. Christianity can Reawaken. And through that reawakening, America (in the child position) can be reborn and return to our Heavenly Parent, standing up as the True Elder Son Nation, and leading the world into Cheon Il Guk.

As per the excerpts from the Divine Principle above, I believe this will achieve the indemnity condition to overcome Satan’s 3rd Temptation on behalf of All Mankind. That will establish the victorious foundation to restore the 3rd Blessing on behalf of all mankind. What does that mean in practice?

Victory over Satan’s 3rd Temptation on the perfection level represents the COMPLETION OF MANKIND’S PORTION OF RESPONSIBILITY in restoration. God has been waiting since the fall for that moment. Once we fulfill that, thereby winning World War 3, God’s 3rd and final war, Heavenly Parent will finally be free to act. I personally don’t believe God will wait 1 nanosecond. He and She have been unimaginably desperate to end evil. Like the champion hocky player locked in the penalty box for 2 million years while Satan is demolishing his team.

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” 2 Pet 3:10-13 KJV (True Father explains in the Divine Principle that this means the Satanic Dominion will be destroyed and then God will raise up a New Heaven and New Earth, namely Cheon Il Guk)

Just to reiterate: Through the coming third religious reformation, the democratic world on God’s side will triumph in the ideological war and bring the communist world on Satan’s side to its knees. Then the two worlds will unite into one Kingdom of Heaven on earth under God. (In other words: There must be a 3rd Religious Reformation (Or Awakening) through which the Democratic World will bring the Communist World to its knees, in order for the two worlds to unite into Cheon Il Guk.)

This clearly states that the Satanic realm will be brought down through the 3rd Great Awakening BEFORE the Unification of Democracy and Communism (in Korea). Once America succeeds in fulfilling the indemnity condition to overcome Satan’s 3rd Temptation on behalf of all mankind, I believe that God, with His newly- restored Global Sovereignty will immediately pull the plug on evil across the world, opening up the way for True Mother to unite Korea in 2025.

Then, as we prepare for 2025 in Korea, what should America’s offering be? America is comprised of: • 50 States + District of Columbia • 5 inhabited Territories. • 574 Federally recognized Tribes distributed among 326 Indian reservations. (The largest, the Navajo Nation Reservation, is the size of West Virginia. )

If as Father proclaimed, Christianity and 1st Nations should have united 400 years ago, then surely our offering next year should be a unified offering including both Christianity and 1st Nations. “If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” Matt 5:23-4

8/16/23 (1 slide) Please recognize the awakening that must happen. From internal to external, America must awaken. This must happen before we can fulfill the indemnity condition to overcome Satan’s 3rd temptation. Our movement is a bell curve. Morning Devotion started the process. Then True Mother’s focus on Cheon Shim Won and witnessing. Those are by far the two most powerful ways for members to experience and resonate with me. It is starting.

There are still so many yet to wake up. True Parents take responsibility for every member, so we can’t leave anyone behind. Even if some members do not yet connect in heart with True Parents or me, they will see and become aware of what is happening with other members. First people will be amused. Then curious. Then they’ll start to feel a longing in their own hearts to experience something. Then doors will open up, and I’ll find ways, one by one, to touch and awaken each of them. That is just our members. But as you well know, we need to wake up Christianity.

Cheon Bo Victors are on the very front edge of that Bell Curve. As per True Father’s final prayer, Heavenly Parent is looking to, and counting on Heavenly Tribal Messiahs to take ownership and lead in this providence to restore all the nations, beginning with America.

Thank you. This concludes Part 4.

Next Month, In Part 5, I will talk about God’s vision for raising up the Global Heavenly Kingdom of Cheon Il Guk
