About Special Grace and Holy Wine Distribution

2016-06-10 · Source: tparents.org

Please read carefully and prepare for the upcoming Special Grace and Holy Wine ceremony.

We’ve just received an incredible blessing of welcoming True Mother back home to America this past weekend, which filled us with hope and determination to fulfil God’s Will for America and ourselves. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making it a victorious occasion. Now, Heaven is offering us another great blessing. True Parents have bestowed on us a very special grace and new holy items.

To receive this grace, all Blessed Families should begin a 40 day devotion period beginning on Monday, June 13, and ending on Friday, July 22. Pastors, your congregants will need your guidance and support in order to fulfil the necessary requirements to participate in the grace ceremony to be held in your communities anytime between July 30 and August 17. Therefore, we appreciate your cooperation in spreading this information quickly and clearly.

During the 56th anniversary of True Parents’ Holy Wedding, held on March 16, 2016 by the Heavenly Calendar, True Parents bestowed an incredible gift of the ‘Four Great Items of Cheon Il Guk and the Holy Wine Ceremony.’ They explained that through the Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine, Blessed Families will be able to completely cleanse our past wrongdoings since the Cheon Il Guk coronation ceremony, to make a new determination, and to make a new start through the four years of hope for the victory of VISION 2020. True Parents proclaimed VISION 2020 to enable the settlement and firm establishment of Cheon Il Guk.

Three key policies for this vision include: Witnessing, Creating an environment for witnessing, and Raising future talent. True Parents have also been leading the providence to restore all humanity through Heavenly Tribal Messiah activities. These Holy Items will allow all Blessed Family members to make a fresh start, and re-determine ourselves to fulfil our God-given responsibilities as Tribal Messiahs, so we can become true owners of Cheon Il Guk.

True Mother offered the following Benediction on the Four Great Holy Items of Cheon Il Guk on April 21, 2016:

“Once again, the Heavenly Parent has bestowed His compassionate grace and laid the condition for the blessed families to uphold the wishes of the True Parents. Through this grace, the blessed families can establish the standard of faith that is 90 degrees straight and without shadow, the standard of true blessed families, and become the true citizens of Cheon Il Guk, blessed children who fulfill their mission and responsibility. Please bless this occasion so that these blessed children can be born anew as the children of Unification who can fulfill their responsibility and realize the Heavenly Parent’s and True Parents’ wish, which is to embrace all 7.3 billion people around the world. Once again, I ask You, Heavenly Parent, in the name of True Parents that through these holy items, blessed families can be born anew and can ascend to the eternal Bonhyangwon with no shadow or blemish. Please grant that these blessed children can ascend to the eternal Bonghyangwon with no traces of the Satanic sphere. I know that these holy items are the grace of blessing that will allow these children to ascend in the eternal homeland as the last true children. Please grant us your hand of grace so that all the children of the Unification

movement are grateful for these holy items and your children will offer their last measure of effort and fulfill their responsibility so that all 7.3 billion people around the world can come within the embrace of True Parents and these children can proudly be remembered in history. I pray these things in the name of True Parents. Aju.”

Attached are guidelines about how to conduct the Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine Ceremony and bequeath the gift of the Cheon Il Guk Holy Items to each Blessed Family. The ceremonies are to be conducted by the local pastor of each community for all the Blessed Families in his or her community after the conclusion of the 40 day devotion period, on any date from July 30 and before the 4th anniversary of True Father’s Seonghwa on August 18 (in U.S.). A set of Cheon Il Guk Holy Items will be bequeathed to each district pastor at a national gathering on July 23-24 in Dallas. Each district pastor will then multiple a set of the Holy Items for each pastor in their district, who will then need to multiply the Holy Items for each family in their community. Or, order pre-made sets from the HQ. More details about this option will be coming soon.

Each family needs to prepare internally to receive the grace of True Parents through the Holy Wine and receive the Holy Items by offering a period of 40 day devotion prior to the ceremony which includes HDH, prayer, bowing, and a minimum donation of $210 per family or $130 per individual. Though these amounts are those recommended by the International Office, we encourage all American families to offer a donation of $300.

Details of the conditions to be made are included in the attached memo from International Headquarters. The memo also includes information about the scope of the grace, and the significance and purpose of the Cheon Il Guk Holy Items.

May the Heavenly Parent and True Parents’ blessings and love be with all regions and leaders in the mission fields.

Following True Father’s cosmic-level ascension, a new era was begun on the foundation of True Mother’s profound devotion in Bonhyangwon. International HQ would like to announce a special grace bestowed through the ‘Four Great Items of Cheon Il Guk and the Holy Wine Ceremony.’ All leaders are strongly encouraged to guide all concerned blessed families to participate and make a new beginning.

1. True Parents’ Benediction on the Original Holy Items of Cheon Il Guk “Once again, the Heavenly Parent has bestowed His compassionate grace and laid the condition for the blessed families to uphold the wishes of the True Parents. Through this grace, the blessed families can establish the standard of faith that is 90 degrees straight and without shadow, the standard of true blessed families, and become the true citizens of Cheon Il Guk, blessed children who fulfill their mission and responsibility.

2. Providential Background A. On January 13, 2013 by the Heavenly Calendar, True Parents hosted the ‘Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day Registration Blessing Ceremony’. Through this blessing, True Parents unconditionally bestowed the grace of returning to the original Garden of Eden. Through the unconditional love of True Parents, blessed families could return to the era of Heavenly Parent’s direct dominion and walk the path befitting the era of Cheon Il Guk.

B. True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind proclaimed VISION 2020 to enable the settlement and firm establishment of Cheon Il Guk. Three key policies were announced for this vision, namely, “Witnessing,” “Creating an environment for witnessing,” and “Raising future talent.” Furthermore, True Parents have been leading the providence to restore all humanity through Heavenly Tribal Messiah activities. In particular, following True Father’s ascension, True Mother offered profound devotion for three years in a state of absolute oneness with True Father. True Mother offered this devotion on behalf of all humanity and participated in the last measure of filial devotion True Father offered to the Heavenly Parent. Furthermore, on the foundation of these devotions, True Parents hosted the historic 3rd anniversary of Foundation Day centering on True Parents’ holy birthday.

C. True Mother instructed that the holy birthday of the only begotten son and only begotten daughter as well as the holy wedding of True Parents be celebrated. These celebrations helped members reminisce on the meaning of these events and during the 56th anniversary of True Parents’ holy wedding (held on March 16, 2016), True Parents bestowed the Cheon Il Guk holy wine and explained that through this special holy wine, blessed families should completely purify themselves for the lives they led until now since the Cheon Il Guk coronation ceremony, make a new determination, and make a new start through the four years of hope for the victory of VISION 2020.

D. In order to forgive and embrace blessed families once more, True Parents had to bear an unimaginable ‘cross of love.’ Let us remember this special grace bestowed by True Parents through this special holy wine ceremony, repent for past mistakes, and express our gratitude by contributing to VISION 2020 through victorious heavenly tribal messiah activities.

B. Purpose in Bestowing the Grace of the Four Great Holy Items of Cheon Il Guk 1) Cheon Il Guk Holy Items of the perfection level: True Parents made the very first holy items during their Holy Wedding on March 16, 1960 and bestowed them at the formation-level. On June 13, 2006, True Parents presented us with holy items at the growth-level through their victorious Coronation Ceremony and Entrance into Cheon Jeong Gung Palace. Finally, during the 56th anniversary of their Holy Wedding, True Parents bestowed Four Great Holy Items of Cheon Il Guk Holy at the perfection level. 2) This grace that will enable us to be reborn in the original Garden of Eden and enter the eternal Bonhyangwon in a state of 90-degree alignment with Heaven and traces or shadows of Satan. 3) This blessing is a special grace that will enable us to become true children. 4) Moses received the tables with the 10 Commandments, an unchanging symbol from Heaven, while praying fasting for forty days on Mt. Sinai for the sake of the Israelites in the wilderness. Likewise, the Four Great Holy Items of Cheon Il Guk are the ‘heirlooms’ to be cherished by all citizens of Cheon Il Guk. They have been bestowed to us as symbols of Heavenly Parent and True Parents as well as a special grace that will retain heavenly fortune and stop all satanic intrusions.

This holy wine will enable all blessed families to be born anew. To receive this cosmic grace, blessed families participating in the “Ceremony to Bestow the Four Great Holy

Family Federation for World Peace and Unification 324-275 Misari-ro, Seorak-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea 477-855 Tel: +82-31-589-2320 Fax: +82-31-589-2368 E-mail: ffwpuihq@gmail.com Homepage: www.familyfedihq.org

Items of Cheon Il Guk’ and the ‘Holy Wine Ceremony’, must first stand on the foundation of having completely repented for all past mistakes in their lives and faith. 2) Cheon Il Guk Holy Salt - This grace that will enable those who ascend to the spiritual world to repent for mistakes committed while on earth, purify aspects of their lives that were wrong, and enter the spiritual world in the position of the original Adam and Eve. - This grace will sanctify the abode and all items purchased by a Cheon Il Guk citizen, thereby setting the standard for the Heavenly Parent and blessed families to find holy rest (Sabbath). 3) Cheon Il Guk Holy Candle - The Cheon Il Guk holy candle reflects the hope we have of expanding the substantial Cheon Il Guk, which began on Foundation Day, to the nation, the world and finally to the cosmos. Hence, blessed families must light these holy candles, endeavor to become the salt and light that will brighten the world through lives of true love, and offer conditions to restore the family, tribe and nation. 4) Cheon Il Guk Holy Earth - The Heavenly Parent created man by forming him with dust from the ground and breathing life into him. Thereafter, the Heavenly Parent called man his body. Hence, had man not fallen, Heavenly Parent would have dwelled within man’s body and both would have reached complete unity. Hence, the holy earth is a symbol of man’s re- creation to a state prior to Satan’s invasion; it also symbolizes man’s restoration to the state of the Heavenly Parent’s body. Moreover, the expanded concept of body – tabernacle – temple – heavenly nation found in the Old Testament is also included in the holy earth. To conclude, the holy earth is a symbol for the development beginning with me, my family, the church and expanding all the way to Cheon Il Guk.

A Guide to the Four Great Holy Items of Cheon Il Guk

1. True Parents’ Benediction on the Original Holy Items of Cheon Il Guk Once again, the Heavenly Parent bestowed His compassionate grace and laid the condition for the blessed families to uphold the wishes of the True Parents. Through this grace, the blessed families can establish the standard of faith that is 90 degrees straight and without shadow, the standard of true blessed families, and become the true citizens of Cheon Il Guk, blessed children who fulfill their mission and responsibility. Please bless this occasion so that these blessed children can be born anew as the children of Unification who can fulfill their responsibility and realize the Heavenly Parent and True Parents’ wish, which is to embrace all 7.3 billion people around the world. Once again, I ask you Heavenly Parent in the name of True Parents that through these holy items, blessed families can be born anew and can ascend to the eternal Bonhyangwon with no shadow or blemish. Please grant that these blessed children can ascend to the eternal Bonghyangwon with no traces of the Satanic sphere. I know that these holy items are the grace of blessing that will allow these children to ascend in the eternal homeland as the last true children. Please grant us your hand of grace so that all the children of the Unification movement are grateful for these holy items and your children will offer their last measure of effort and fulfill their responsibility so that all 7.3 billion people around the world can come within the embrace of True Parents and these children can proudly be remembered in history. I pray these things in the name of True Parents. Aju. [True Mother’s prayer on March 15 by the Heavenly Calendar in the 4th year of Cheon Il Guk (April 21, 2016)]

2. True Parents’ Words Regarding the Cheon Il Guk Holy Salt This holy salt is special. When all blessed families end their earthly life and are about to ascend to the spirit world, they should repent, purify what was wrong, and use it [the holy salt] in the special ceremony during the Seonghwa Ceremony so that they can ascend in the original position where Adam and Eve was created. [March 15, 2016 by the Heavenly Calendar]

Church) is not a simple, typical religious ceremony. It is a change of lineage ceremony through which a person’s lineage changes from that of Satan’s to God’s. The holy wine used in Blessing ceremonies has been upgraded and renewed according to the providential progress until now.

1) Traditional Holy Wine The traditional holy wine, which was drunk to change the blood lineage of fallen man, began to be used after True Parents’ Holy Wedding in 1960. The traditional holy wine also contains the meaning of re-birth through the eradication of the original sin. True Father explained that the traditional Holy Wine was the term of contract made between God, Satan and True Parents. “Do you know what the holy wine is? It contains fearful content. This is the term of contract between Satan, God and me. If you drink this, the doors to hell must be opened and those to heaven must also be opened. Since Satan cannot oppose it, once the Blessing transcends the global level, the doors to hell will automatically open.” (306:238, 1998.9.23.) 2) Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine The Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine was made and stored by True Parents on October 23, 1999 in East Garden. On that day, True Parents made a proclamation titled, “Proclamation of the Liberation Day for the Blessing of the Entire Cosmos,” through which he proclaimed the unity of the four great realms of heart, the liberation of children, couples and the liberated realm of the Parents of Heaven and Earth. (Major Ceremonies and Proclamation Ceremonies IV, 120) The Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine was distributed to each regional president on August 20, 2003 after the Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony of the Parents of Heaven and Earth Opening the Gate of Cheon Il Guk on February 6, 2003. This was used at the “Cheon Il Guk Registration Blessing Ceremony of True Revolution of the Heart and True Liberation and Release” in 2004 and at the 1014 Cosmic Blessing Ceremony by True Parents in 2009. 3) Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day Holy Wine At the 40-Day Memorial Service of True Father’s Ascension, which was conducted in Bonhyangwon on 9.11 by the heavenly calendar in 2012 (Oct 25), True Mother said the following: “When True Father was still alive, he instructed Cheongpyeong that Holy Wine for the Foundation Day of Cheon Il Guk be made and stored. This is the Holy Wine that was newly made.” She asked that all members participate in the Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day to cleanse their bodies and minds through the Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day Holy Wine, and then distributed the holy wine to all regional presidents. 4) Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine (Distributed on 3.16 by the HC in the 4th year of CIG) True Parents’ Words: This special holy wine was specially made after True Parents instructed that a holy wine to bequeath at the 56th Anniversary of True Parents’ Holy Wedding after the third anniversary of Foundation Day, be prepared.

Origin and Significance 1) A Tradition that Begins after the Holy Wedding True Parents made the first holy salt on the day of their Holy Wedding, 3.16 (lunar) in 1960, and used it to sanctify every side of the church before the actual ceremony. After the Holy Wedding, True Parents instructed that this Holy Salt be distributed to all members worldwide. This marked the beginning of the tradition of a life of sanctification through the holy salt. 2) Holy Salt to Separate from Satan On the victorious foundation of True Parents’ Holy Wedding, True Parents made holy salt, using the salt Heavenly Parent used to exterminate evil, as a means to separate from Satan, and to sanctify and return back everything that had fallen into Satan’s dominion, including man, creation and the environment, back to God’s side., 3) Separating Good and Evil, and Sanctifying Functions

Salt typically helps maintain the cleanness and wholeness of things. In the same manner, holy salt separates good and evil and has a sanctifying function that helps people maintain a wholesome life. 4) A Person of Faith’s Basic Sanctifying Ritual This is a basic sanctifying ritual which all members must practice to separate from Satan in their lives, which can easily be invaded by Satan. 5) To Distinguish What Belongs to Heaven Holy salt is a condition that enables creation to newly exist and to belong to Heaven. Hence, True Parents mentioned that this holy salt won’t be necessary at all in an entirely restored world. 6) Cheon Jeong Wang Gung Holy Salt Unlike the holy salt that had been traditionally used, this holy salt was initiated through emphasis, on August 16, 2003, of a rebirth ceremony that will enable all Unification members to make a new start. The Cheon Jeong Wang Gung Holy Salt, which was bequeathed to all regional presidents on June 13, 2006, has ever since been used instead of the original one. 7) Bestowing the Cheon Il Guk Holy Salt After True Father’s Cosmic Ascension, True Parents ushered in a new era based on the foundation of sincere mourning devotion offered centered on Bonhyangwon. Marking the beginning of a different era, True Parents bestowed us with the Cheon Il Guk Holy Salt on 3.16 by the heavenly calendar, 2016 (April 22).

B. The Significance of the Cheon Il Guk Holy Salt 1) Salt usually symbolizes separation between good and evil, purification of things, and possess a sanctifying function image portraying cleanliness of man. 2) A life strictly dividing good and evil to wholly become Heavenly Parent’s true child 3) To separate good and evil, which can be compared to Heavenly Parent and Satan, portrays determination to lead a pure life of faith that attends Heavenly Parent as the sole standard of life, and to live as Heavenly Parent’s child. 4) Life of faith in the Cheon Il Guk era itself is a sanctified life; hence, it is a life of separation between good and evil. “We or each individual must rise all the way to one standard. In order to do so, we must use the holy salt to sanctify ourselves.” According to the above words given by True Parents, we are reminded once more whether we, as Cheon Il Guk people of faith, fundamentally live a life of complete sanctity by using the holy salt and we come to understand that True Parents is emphasizing the need of a sanctified life. Separating good and evil is fundamentally a basic approach of life for a person of faith and can be seen as a personal effort to sanctify one’s life and live a life that is

completely on God’s side.

If just a few grains of this “seed” holy salt is available, the seven piles should also each consist of only a few grains each. Multiply only this small amount at first and go through the same procedure a second time in order to make a greater quantity 6) The report prayer should follow these lines: “I multiply this holy salt in the name of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and my name 000, owner of Cheon Il Guk…” 7) Divide the seed holy salt pile and strew it on each of the seven piles of new salt 8) Mix the seed holy salt and new salt in each pile 9) Mix all piles together. 10) Offer a report prayer of gratitude.
