Beloved Father! Today, on September 18, on the occasion of Chuseok Day [Korean Harvest Festival], a time of harvest in the fifth year of Cheon Il Guk, we have come together to celebrate the Chuseok Day of the Liberation of Heaven and Earth as representatives of both heaven and earth, in the name of the True Parents and the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
With the establishment of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) on September 12, the victorious realm of the Abel UN, Heaven’s global peace UN, which represents the nations and countries rooted in the foundation of Cheon Il Guk, we celebrate the day Your love and sovereignty can be witnessed on earth — love and sovereignty that are representative of Your all-transcendent, all-immanent, all-authoritative, and all-powerful works. Today, September 18, we are able to celebrate the Chuseok Day of Liberation of Heaven and Earth. Heaven, please grant us your blessings today as we dedicate this occasion to You in attendance of the Parents of Heaven and Earth along with all the Blessed families in heaven and on earth.
Today, the light of a new morning shines upon heaven and earth. Father, we dedicate to You once again the bright world that has dawned with the new Chuseok on September 18. As we move beyond the hill of liberation, with a new moon, new sun, a new sea, a new air, and a new land, please be with us at this time, when we can finally advance toward an eternal reign of peace, a liberated world wherein the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in Heaven is completely free and liberated, centered on Your victorious, overarching sovereignty. Father, thank You for allowing us to once again restore an era in which we can govern all of creation as owners of love, who stand at the apex of the full authority of Your ideal of creation.
As of today, we celebrate being able to proclaim to all nations and to the entire universe the realm of complete freedom and liberation, the eradication of the root of the Fall, and the fundamental liberation and complete freedom of all created things. I open the door to the era wherein all spirits that have ascended to the spiritual world — spirits from Adam’s family and all spirits of this age — can continue the standard of the original, unfallen lineage that Adam and Eve had at the age of sixteen on the foundation of the victorious dominion centered on the liberation of God’s homeland, and visit and unite representing God’s homeland in heaven and on earth. Father, please grant us Your blessings.
Centered on the authority of the supreme victory of True Parents’ love, all good spirits and even the evil spiritual realms can stand on the realm of complete freedom and liberation from the Fall; heaven and earth will become completely one, and what had been reversed between the era before the coming of heaven and the era after the coming of heaven will be righted; heaven will be able to depend on earth, the
victorious dominion on earth will be endowed with the dominion of heaven; we thank you for allowing us to celebrate this day of complete freedom of liberation wherein the Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, as the supreme owner of the love of the first born, can finally be attended as the king and queen among all monarchs, representing all nations.
Standing on the Kingdom of Peace of Cheon Il Guk, the overarching victory, it is with the authority of all principles, the authority of the owner that we are heading toward a world of complete freedom and liberation, one homeland and fatherland in which Cheon Il Guk is completely one, and where You will be able to lead and govern everything with autonomous authority. As saints and sages representing the owner of the homeland and fatherland who can freely move back and forth, I dedicate and register all saints and sages of the spiritual world and physical world as Cheon Il Guk citizens. As of today, this day has become a day wherein the glory of the final victory can be praised.
O Father, we pray that You may accept this day. Please allow and bless Korea, Japan, and the United States, as well as the representatives of the six major philosophies [teachings], and all people congratulating this occasion today, to stand as a victorious lineage centered on True Parents’ direct family on earth, representing all people. Enable all nations and the entire universe to inherit and continue the lineage of the royal family of the Kingdom of Heaven, that they may stand on the foundation of the lineage of the realm of complete freedom and liberation, and thus be able to freely work and move back and forth between heaven and earth.
On this commemorative day we are celebrating Chuseok, and I declare all this about heaven and earth. I sincerely wish and pray that You will accept it with joy. It is with utmost sincerity that I report and proclaim all this in True Parents’ name. Amen! Amen! Amen!
The True Parents have devoted their lives to liberating Heavenly Parent — who has been surrounded by hell in the spiritual world as well as on earth since the fall of the first ancestors — as well to liberating all living beings, spirits, and all creation. During his final prayer, True Father made the providential proclamation of victory: “I have accomplished everything,” and then ascended into the spiritual realm.
On the foundation of having brought True Father’s firm settlement in the Kingdom of Heaven to completion at the 10th anniversary of True Father’s Holy Ascension, True Mother made the heavenly decree that as of now, the Chuseok Day of the Liberation of Heaven and Earth will be celebrated with a Cheon Il Guk Gyeongbae Ceremony. In addition, she reminded all FFWPU members that as leaders of the liberated world, and in attendance of True Father in heaven and True Mother on earth, they must practice and realize the original ideal of creation in their lives.
