The Structure and Settlement of Cheon Il Guk

Sun Myung Moon June 29, 2002 Cheon Seong Gyeong 2014: Book 12 Cheon Il Guk; Chapter 2; Section 4; The settlement and flourishing of Cheon Il Guk http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Books/CSG14/CSG14-12.pdf

36. Cheon Il Guk is God’s kingdom. God’s kingdom is unchanging and absolute. God is absolute, unique, un-changing and eternal. God has these four attributes. No one can ever change that. Once these elements are secured on earth, they will remain for eternity. Today, the fallen world is moving in various directions, but God’s ideal of creation is that human history will have one tradition. That is God’s original ideal. (373-145, 2002.03.31)

37. The Parents of Heaven and Earth flourishing in unity! In this proclamation, flourishing means that after you settle you establish your livelihood. After this comes the realm of Sabbath, in which everything can rest, enraptured in the ideals of the heavenly kingdom. It is a realm without conflict or unrequited desires. Everyone is attuned to the harmonious environment of the heavenly world and enjoys eternal life. This will be the realm of Sabbath. Please understand where you stand. You are in the era of liberation, the victorious realm, the subject partner nation, Cheon Il Guk. (383-283, 2002.06.29)

38. The heavenly kingdom does not yet exist. Nonetheless, I was able to conduct the inauguration of God’s kingship and the Rally for the Settlement of God’s Homeland. Then I proclaimed Cheon Il Guk, the Nation of Cosmic Peace and Unity. We are now entering the era of settlement, and not just the era of settlement but of flourishing. “Settlement” means that we have been on the way and are arriving at our destination, fulfilling the purpose of our venture; “flourishing” means that we already have safely arrived at our destination and now we can rest. In order to bring such prosperity to God’s kingship, God’s homeland and God’s Cheon Il Guk, body and mind must not fight. They have to be one. (364-056, 2001.12.31)

39. Your body and mind are like two people. If these two people cannot become one, you cannot become a citizen of Cheon Il Guk. The kingdom of heaven has been something vague until now, because the individual’s body and mind were in conflict and so no individual could serve as a foundation for the nation of Cheon Il Guk. Cheon Il Guk refers to the settlement of a family on the basis of unity — unity of an individual’s body and mind, unity of husband and wife, unity of parents and children, and unity among brothers and sisters. If there is no unity, there will be no settlement. (360-086, 2001.11.12)

40. Happiness, peace and freedom in Cheon Il Guk does not imply only settlement; it implies flourishing. By settlement I mean moving towards a destination and arriving and staying there. However, flourishing

implies that upon completing settlement we establish our livelihood. Settlement requires unity between the individual’s mind and body, unity within the couple, unity between parents and children, and unity among siblings. Neither father nor mother, neither son nor daughter, can exempt themselves. They need to establish a parent-child relationship such that their children receive the Blessing, begin married life, have children, and settle. It requires three generations for a family to settle. (364-073, 2002.01.01)

41. As Cheon Il Guk unfolds, in time it will be an independent nation. We can also call it ju-che Guk, the subject partner nation. We are in the era of the liberation that is based upon the foundation of the selfgoverning nations victory. Therefore, I am proclaiming that this is the era of the kingdom of heaven and the time to build the subject partner nation. While Cheon Il Guk is the era for the liberation of the subject partner nation, the era following it will be the era of unity and spherical oneness. The era of unity and spherical oneness signifies a return to the origin. Again, we are the ones who should put all this together ourselves. We should bring about unity; God is not going to deliver it to us. (378-164, 2002.05.09)

42. We are now in the Last Days. We are in the era of Cheon Il Guk, the victorious realm in which we will form a self-governing nation called the subject partner nation. The victorious realm of the subject partner nation is the victorious realm of a self-governing nation with God at its center; it is also the victorious realm of a self-governing nation that centers around the returning Lord. God is the original center of the era of liberation and the center of the victorious realm of the subject partner nation. Now that this era of liberation has come, we are to return to spherical oneness, which is the original world of unity. This is the omega. (372-285, 2002.03.23)
