Important 21-Day Condition to Support 172 American Clergy going to Korea

2011-08-23 · Source: tparents.org

May the love and blessings of our Heavenly Parent and our True Parents be with you and with your families at this critical time in God’s providence.

Last Thursday, August 18, we were able to achieve an extraordinary victory with our True Parents in Las Vegas through the Ceremony for the Dedication and Launch of the Won Mo Boat. Centering on the leadership, direction and guidance of Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, our International President, and Rev. In Jin Moon, CEO and President of the American movement, our entire national team and foundation (including HSA-UWC, UPF, ACLC, WFWP, KODAN, U.S. Marine and all blessed families) came together to make this historic offering from America.

True Parents were extremely happy at the conclusion of the boat launching ceremony and thankful to our families here in America. They have great confidence in the leadership of their daughter, Rev. In Jin Moon, who has been guiding America these last three years to absolutely attend True Parents and fulfill their every direction; and, who has established an unshakable foundation for the growth of our church through Lovin’ Life Ministries, the ministry of our True Parents, proclaiming the “Breaking News” of their messiahship to all mankind.

True Parents returned to Korea immediately, upon the completion of the ceremony, wasting no time to connect the historic victory in America to Korea and to the world. We know that this is how God has always instructed our True Father to work throughout his life: gaining the victory in one providential nation and then connecting it to others and to the world. It is our eternal honor and glory before God that we have been able to work directly with True Parents in America to offer one victory after another.

For our True Parents, the boat launching ceremony represents the completion of a certain level of the providence here in America. Everything our True Parents are doing now is connected to the final conclusion of history, to take place on Foundation Day, January 13, 2013. While Father was in Las Vegas these past several weeks, fishing on Lake Mead and exploring the Colorado River, he was already disclosing how he wanted America to participate in bringing the fruits of the American victory to Korea.

So, what is the direction to America now from our True Parents?

Father gave direction that 172 American clergy members of ACLC and faith leaders connected to our providential organizations (such as UPF and WFWP – men and women of all faiths) be chosen as representatives of the Abel religious foundation in America. They will go to Korea where they will celebrate the opening of the “Ocean Palace” as well as celebrate the Korean Thanksgiving called “Chusok” together with our True Parents on September 12. Later, they will receive ODP education from Rev. Eu and travel throughout the nation to proclaim God’s Fatherland, True Parents’ homeland and the

“Breaking News” of True Parents as the anointed of God, the Messiah. In this substantial way, the victory in America can be directly transferred to Korea.

Here are some of the details from Father’s instructions:

Centering on the launching of the plaster mold boat, Father is returning to Korea. He is concluding the ocean providence, which began in Hawaii, then came to Las Vegas and now to Korea. Father has returned to Korea from August 18 and will prepare for 15 days. Then the American clergy will arrive for 15 days. Through their coming, Father will proclaim the victorious foundation in America. The providence centering on America (Father’s 40 years in America and the last 5 years in Las Vegas) should go to the world.

Father has asked that 43 clergy be selected (from among those who understand True Parents in their heart and are physically able to handle the journey) from the north, south, east and west of America. The number 43 (representing 43 nations, as well as the 430 years of slavery in Egypt and the 4,300 years of Korea history) multiplied by 4 (the Four Position Foundation) equals 172. In this sense, this group will represent 172 nations of the world (or the Abel UN). Father wants religious leaders to go, representing Abel, as opposed to sending political leaders.

After receiving ODP education, these clergy members will go out and do major rallies in 172 cities across the nation of Korea on the same day, proclaiming God’s Fatherland in Korea and His Hometown. Father wants the clergy to send the message to the people of Korea (and to the world) that theirs is the nation of God’s Fatherland and that we as human beings are all one family under God. We should live together as a family without political parties and factions.

Furthermore, there are 286 last names and clans in Korea, all of which have headquarters in Seoul. The 172 clergy will each register as part of those clans, attending their meetings and giving the same message from True Parents. Some of the smaller clans can be combined so that the total number is 172. Our pastors can receive Korean names!

True Parents’ desire is that we all register our names in Korea. The clergy will be leading the way on the front line through this historic trip. They can even go to the churches in Korea which correspond to their own and deliver the message and register themselves and their congregations in those churches.

From True Parents’ point of view, the 172 clergy coming from America has great meaning. They represent the 2nd Israel and represent God and their churches. They also represent 172 nations of the world (Abel UN). They will be living testimonies to God and to True Parents. Once they have fulfilled the mission to testify, they must then be registered in Korea, God’s Homeland.

Brothers and sisters, America is at a serious crossroads. Our nation is crumbling from within. Without True Parents and the Blessing, America has no hope. True Parents know that the 172 clergy to Korea is also a condition to save America and allow her to stand to lead the Abel UN. Together with these faith leaders, we can launch a national Blessing movement to reach America.

Special 21-Day Condition

For this reason, every blessed family in America should pray for this providential event and support with our whole hearts. Through the victory of this event, True Parents’ 40 years of Jung Sung (prayerful, tearful devotion) can be fulfilled.

On behalf of our senior pastor, Rev. In Jin Moon, I would like to ask our families to begin a national

prayer condition for 21 days (Monday, August 22-September 11), praying for our True Parents, for the success and victory of the 172 Clergy and their mission in Korea and for the launching of a national Blessing movement in America.

In addition, the 172 clergy will be asked to be financially responsible for their roundtrip airfare to Korea. Our families across America can help them through offering a donation from our hearts, as they will be representing all of us and America in Korea. Please prayerfully consider making a donation through your District Pastor in support of the 172 Clergy to Korea Project. A suggested donation of $210 or more per family or individual is requested to set the condition that all of our American blessed families can be directly linked to True Parents’ heart in this historic step of their victorious course towards January 13, 2013.

Let us join together in prayer and in deed to accomplish and even exceed True Parents’ direction for America as we go forward in these final 550 days toward Foundation Day, 2013!

Thank you and may God bless your family.
