True Father proclaimed Cheonju Pyeonghwa Tongil Guk (the Nation of Cosmic Peace and Unity), abbreviated as Cheon Il Guk (CIG), on November 15, 2001.
Cheon Il Guk is the Unification equivalent of the Kingdom of Heaven and the culmination of True Father’s ministry.
Previously True Father declared a fundamental shift in the order of salvation from the individual to the family.
Cheon Il Guk advanced beyond the family to the creation of a heavenly nation.
True Father defined the Cheon Il Guk “era” as the period during which the foundation of Cheon Il Guk was to be established.
He said the movement was on a “tight schedule” of twelve years, extending until 2013.
True Father’s proclamation of Cheon Il Guk energized the Unification movement and marked a new stage in its development.
