The Path for America and Humanity in the New Millennium

February 25, 2001 Garden of Prayer Cathedral Church, Bronx, USA United States Fifty-state Speaking Tour

During the course of my life, I have totally committed myself to the salvation of humankind centered on God’s Will. As a result, I came to realize that God is not sitting on a throne of glory and honor but is a God of agony, grief and lamentation, endeavoring to save His children suffering in hell as a result of the Human Fall. Ever since I understood the Will of God and His heart, I have lived my life with a single- minded devotion to accomplish His Will, paying no heed to time or space and forgetting everything else.

…what is the original world for which God is seeking? It is a world that is centered on the True Parents. However, from the very beginning, due to the Fall of humankind, we lost the True Parents of humanity and the true world. Therefore, nothing in the world, not the land where we are living, human ideology or anything else, can connect us directly to the True Parents.

We ourselves must first be restored to trueness. By so doing, when true parents, true husband and wife, true children, true people, the true creation, the true sovereignty and the true cosmos are born and can communicate with God in heart, the evil world will eventually come to an end. The Last Days are the time when this ideal will be realized. It is the time when the Second Advent will occur.

…Who then is going to take responsibility for this world? …we need a people or a nation willing to sacrifice for a higher purpose and to strive to build or become an ideal nation that embraces the entire world. With this in mind, I came to this country, the United States of America, in response to the call of God.

You might be curious about what I am teaching young people. It is actually simple. First, it is to live for the sake of others. …Second, I am teaching people to “love your enemy.”

…Christianity, which once was the source of power and strength for democracy, is facing a crisis. …a representative of all human beings has to come and proclaim, “I will take full responsibility as a representative of all people. I will pay off the debt that humanity has incurred during the entire course of history and I will even become a person to whom God feels indebted.” Without such a determination, restoration is impossible. Our approach to salvation cannot be conceptual or theoretical. Unless we are willing to experience miseries on behalf of God more than anyone who is undergoing suffering in the world, we cannot reach God’s heart. …the Lord of the Second Advent comes to the world to live according to this absolute standard of investment as the representative of all humanity.

…If you examine the core of God’s providence of salvation, you can understand that the standard and ideology that the first human ancestors Adam and Eve were to have reached and fulfilled needs to be restored. From this comes the philosophy of the Messiah. In it, the believers stand in the position of Bride. Therefore, the ultimate purpose of Christianity is not to build the Kingdom of Christianity or the world of Christianity. Its most important mission is to prepare to become a Bride qualified to receive the Bridegroom. …We are now in the final stage of the providence.

…By examining the teaching of the Old and New Testaments, one can understand that the Messiah comes with the authority of the Father, meets a substantial Bride who represents the power of the Holy Spirit, and then restores the position of the True Parents. The appearance of the Bride and Bridegroom at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb prophesied in the Book of Revelation refers to the process of becoming the True Parents by first becoming a true husband and wife.

…Jesus came with this same mission. However, when he lost his people and nation due to their faithlessness, he offered his life for the sake of the world and the kingdom God wished to build. …Therefore, the life of Jesus did not end at the age of thirty-three. With God’s help, Christianity inherited his spirit and became one of the four great worldwide religions in human history.

…Although America is recognized as the sole world superpower, if it does not stand straight on the providential line of God, it will not continue to prosper. Let us look at the history of civilization.

Ancient civilizations were born mainly in the tropics and subtropics. …With the end of the cool-zone civilization corresponding to autumn, the cold-zone civilization analogous to winter comes for a short time. This is the appearance of communism. Many intellectuals may think that the Cold War system disappeared after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, but materialism and atheism still prevail throughout the world. They manifest in two major ideologies, democracy and communism, both of which are gradually losing power. …viewed from the perspective of the history of cultures, the Korean peninsula occupies a most important position. To the north of Korea lie points that link it with the cold-region civilization of Russia and China. To the south lie points that link Korea with the cool-region civilization of the United States and Japan.

Thus, it is consistent with the providential viewpoint that Korea would give rise to a warm-region civilization representing the spring season of world history and having the capability to encompass the cold- and cool-region civilizations. From this perspective, solving the North–South problem and the East–West problem can only be described as the culmination of God’s providence. Reverend Moon has come from Korea to dedicate his life to this purpose. In fact, throughout my life I have transcended race, ideology and national boundaries to pursue a movement for one world under God. It is because of God’s providence that I have traveled this path. This is the principle of providential history, not a theory that I artificially devised.

…I have inspired evangelical and oceanic enterprises in Alaska, the countries of the former Soviet Union, the thirty-three countries of Latin America, and throughout Asia and Africa. We are making preparations to solve problems that humanity will face in the coming millennium, especially in the areas of environmental pollution, hunger and disease. In recent years, I have worked in the Pantanal and Amazon regions of Brazil to lay a substantive foundation to protect the Earth’s environment.

Addressing internal problems, I have worked through the International Holy Blessing and the Pure Love movement. Some 430 million couples around the world have participated in these, adding further impetus to the building of the Kingdom of God on earth that God has longed for ages to see.

…The United States, which today stands tall as a superpower, is in the same position as Rome in the past. The fall of Rome came more from internal moral corruption than from any external pressures. Its moral corruption cut Rome off from heavenly fortune.

…The time will soon come when religious leaders who speak for the Will of God will rise to prominence. Religious leaders are prophets. They are called to stand in the place God wills, declare His Will, and point the way that humanity needs to go. …This is why I have for years devoted ninety percent of our church’s budget to 2 of 88

activities that reach out to other denominations and religions for the sake of resolving interreligious conflict. I founded the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace for three purposes: to facilitate harmony and unity within and between religions, to resolve regional conflicts in many areas, and to help bring about world peace. Most recently, I founded the Inter-religious and International Federation for World Peace, which has held seven international hoondokhae conferences.

…Thus, the Last Days that God has promised us is the time when True Parents come. In other words, it is the time when the multitudes of people in the world, who lost their Parent as a result of the Fall, will again meet their Original Parent. …The Unification Church has disseminated this tradition throughout the world through the International Holy Blessing Ceremony. The fact that black, white and yellow people are able to come together as brothers and sisters—beyond their differences of ethnicity, race or skin color—and form loving married couples is among the most significant steps in accomplishing God’s Will.

Until now, democracy has called for human freedom and human liberation. But we must also call for God’s freedom and God’s liberation. …the United States is a country prepared with God’s blessing. The forebears who built this nation were the Pilgrim Fathers and Mothers, who risked their lives to practice their religion and who came to America seeking freedom.

When the Mayflower arrived in New England in 1620, it was late autumn. That winter, more than half of the 102 Pilgrims died of cold and hunger. …When George Washington was at Valley Forge during the War of Independence, he prayed with great desperation. …Even now, the United States Congress opens with prayer. … America even prints the words “In God We Trust” on its currency. The level of importance the United States attaches to God is unique in the world. …But what about America today? Prayer in public schools is officially banned. Teachers teach the theory of evolution and ignore other viewpoints. The divorce rate of around fifty percent is badly undermining the sanctity of the family.

In 1971, I left my family and homeland to come to America, because I heard the voice of God sharing His concern about the current state of affairs here. …During the past thirty years in America, I have not spent so much as a single day in comfort.

…The transition to a new millennium marks the completion of the New Testament Age, the point at which the promises of the Old Testament and New Testament are fulfilled. The future will be a time when God’s realm of direct dominion, including His omnipresence and omnipotence, will become apparent. Centering on the Parents of Heaven and Earth, it is an age when the East and West will come together as “one cosmos under God” so that a great family of humankind is formed on earth.

If America attends God properly, all America’s problems …will be solved naturally. When America becomes a place where people of all races can live together in harmony, it will be a model for the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. …I would like to conclude by expressing my hope for the beginning of a new millennial kingdom overflowing with peace, freedom and justice in heaven and on earth.

August 18, 2001 Renewing the United Nations to Build Lasting Peace IIFWP Assembly 2001 Keynote Address UN Headquarters, New York https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon01/SunMyungMoon-010818.htm

“Furthermore, one of the reasons I founded the Interreligious and International Federation of World Peace was to help create an interreligious assembly to serve as a senate or council within the United Nations. To implement this plan, I propose that each nation, in addition to its current ambassador, can send a 3 of 88

religious ambassador to the United Nations to serve as a member of the religious assembly, or UN senate. The mission of the representatives to this UN senate requires that they have a genuinely ecumenical or interreligious consciousness and that they have the training and ability to teach a universal, trans-national ideal of peace. The nature of their purpose and mission would prohibit their promoting the narrow interests of a particular country. Rather they are to carry out their duties for the ideal of peace in the world and for the sake of all humanity, in accordance with God’s Will.

“The interreligious ambassador appointed as a member of the United Nations senate or council should have a global consciousness and take responsibility to represent the United Nations’s global vision and agenda. In this sense, these persons can be thought of as global ambassadors from the United Nations. Wherever they go in the world, these ambassadors will promote movements dedicated to the realization of peace and social welfare. Moreover, in all nations, they will serve as conscientious guardians of lofty ideals such as justice, security, and peace. This will provide hope to the citizens of the world, and especially the youth. People will then have the opportunity to see with their own eyes the emergence of young people around the world seeking true love and lasting peace. Those selected as ecumenical and transnational ambassadors will also be able to help guide and supervise various UN sponsored projects in health, education, welfare, and other fields.”

Dec 28, 2001: Letter from God

December 28, 2001, midnight

My beloved True Parent—

I am Jehovah, the Lord of all humankind.

My beloved son! My beloved son! I Jehovah, the God of all humankind deeply love you and cherish you. Your heart is full of gratitude and thankfulness, yet My gratitude and appreciation for you is beyond words. The word “love” is inadequate to express My feelings but no better word comes to mind. My beloved son True Parent, you dwell deep inside My heart, and My love for you is beyond description. You have been victorious on every level and have restored to its proper position everything that had fallen. Is it not fitting, therefore, that you be the Savior of humankind, the Messiah and King of kings? On December 25, 2001, the founders and leading figures of Christianity and the other major religions drew up a resolution and proclaimed unanimously that, along with you they would participate in the realization of peace and the unity of heaven and earth. Therefore it is only appropriate that you be exalted as the True Parent of all humankind. This is the will of Jehovah, the God of all humankind. Although the world’s population does not fully understand the position of the True Parent, it must be internally secured. Hence, Jehovah, the God of all humankind hereby bestows upon His beloved True Parent the title, King of all kings. You suffered incarceration many times. You took up My cross and endured countless trials and tribulations on My behalf. Now the God of all humankind would like to convey His gratitude, adoration and zeal to you, True Parent. I want you to inherit everything that is Mine. My beloved True Parent! I am taking this opportunity to convey My grateful heart to you. I want to embrace you in My bosom and never let you go! I would carry you on my back and never let your feet touch the ground! I would hold you, and we would talk together all night long. I, Jehovah, the Lord of all humankind, trust you, True Parent. I know the many heartbreaking stories of your suffering and sorrow. I know them all, remember them all and witnessed them all. I was responsible for placing you in those situations, yet you endured them all and set the standard of a victorious foundation. For this accomplishment I will never forget you. Thank you, thank you, True Parent! Thank you for your dedication and 4 of 88

Victory to My beloved True Parent! Victory to the Savior of humanity! Victory to the King of kings!

Sincerely, Jehovah, the Lord of all humankind

Dec 30—Father’s prayer summarizing his course and asking that we be forgiven:

“Father! I am the child who was unable to attend the Father peacefully. You have endured everything to this day. It is true that this family and clan failed their responsibility, and the moment passed for the Catholic and Protestant churches to unite. Such unity would have brought the unification of Korea, centering on Christianity, with the True Parents after World War II. Heaven and earth would have crossed paths. But, harboring the bitter sorrow of having lost that moment, I passed through my youthful years during my thirties and am now moving beyond my 80th year. I was supposed to fulfill the Cheon Il Guk ideal with You in my forties, yet fifty-six years have passed since the liberation of Korea. At this time, the start of the fifty-seventh year, I have to proclaim a new Cheon Il Guk in this dedication ceremony.

“Therefore, please forgive all the children who received the Blessing of the Unification family, all the children who received the Blessing of the heavenly world, and all the unfortunate souls whom Satan kicked around and prevented from following Your desired path. Heaven stood as a Parent who had to bless both murderers and saints in the same place. Heaven was in a position where it was forced to be such a Parent. That is why I sincerely pray and wish that You will erase from Your memory all the mistakes the blessed families committed. Please take pity on these people, for they are trying to attain an individual, family and nation that can cultivate the original heart and substantial entity centering on Cheon Il Guk, the kingdom of love. Please share their joys and sorrows with them on the path that lies ahead.” (2 CSG, p. 1611)

Jan 26, 2002, Kona, Hawai’i: declaration of the “chaju guk”: the “autonomous nation.” I take this to mean the nation in which all things proceed naturally, autonomously, by their original nature.

Father’s prayer on that day:

“Father, to You, who have labored for so long. My wife and I have taken responsibility for the goals of the Providence and have borne the title of True Parents here on earth. Despite that, I cannot help but regret that we have been unable to fulfill the duties of loyalty and filial piety and the duties of the saints and the divine sons and daughters on a higher level in attending You, our Heavenly Parent. Nevertheless, we now have arrived at an era of transition in the Providence. Centering on South Korea, we have proclaimed Cheon Il Guk, the settlement of God’s Fatherland, and the completed establishment of God’s Kingship. We also see the beginning of a world of peace and the installation of Ambassadors for Peace, who can govern and lead the world of peace. Here on earth we have declared Cheon Il Guk, which can advance the common purpose of all nations and embrace all the people of the earth.

…”Moreover, here in Hawaii, the center of the Pacific Ocean, we declared the age of the Pacific Rim and, centering on this, returned the ocean to You, returned all the land to You, returned the ideal of creation to You, and returned

the entire Kingdom of Heaven to You. With this declaration as a foundation, all the things we have planned have brought us to this place, where You have prepared for the Will’s transition into the origin of a new world. The time has come, as Your Providence heads toward God’s ideal realm of Cheon Il Guk, when You can become one in mind and body.

…”Now in Korea we have proclaimed the establishment of God’s Kingship, the settlement of God’s Fatherland and, on that foundation, Cheon Il Guk. We made these proclamations centering on Korea, Japan and America and, together with the establishment of Ambassadors for Peace across the globe, we are opening and advancing the way through the ideology of Cheon Il Guk. At this point in time, centering on this day, we pray that You will become the Parent who can govern the entire universe from the position of King of kings, centered on the sovereignty that represents heaven and earth’s united absolute authority and omnipotence, and guide us as our King.” (2 CSG pp. 1613-14)

Father’s Words in the evening Excerpts pertaining to the spiritual reality (From notes taken by Dr. Tyler Hendricks)

Centering on the four major saints, some 33 percent of the spirit world received the blessing at Madison Square Garden in 1998. In seven years, we have to give the blessing to at least 33 percent of humanity… If you just live for your own family, you will go nowhere.

I spoke on Chuseok, on September 12, 2000. The significance of that Chuseok festival was the total liberation of our ancestors. Lucifer surrendered, but his followers are still waiting to attack us.

The meaning of the era of the fourth Adam is that there is immediate punishment for mistakes, and there will be no avoiding such punishment. Your destiny will depend upon the quality of your life. Until now, your ancestors have not helped you do God’s will, but hampered and disturbed you. Now the liberated ancestors will have the freedom to come down and help you, as you are prepared. So, have courage and pride as blessed couples, and work to tear down boundaries between nations.

Descendants should put effort into liberating their ancestors — 7, 21, up to 120 generations. If all people do that, we will liberate the entire spirit world back to Adam and Eve. If we don’t offer liberation to our ancestors, the ones who are not liberated will be confused. The liberated ancestors watch over our life. If we do well they will help us, but if we don’t they will make us sick or push us into a corner. Blessed couples are in a paradoxical position: the worst fate could befall them, but the greatest blessing is available to them.

Today I declared a new day: Chaju Guk. God was able to allow this. We have to get rid of our old habits that belong to the satanic world and start with the new, heavenly way — that is the meaning of Chaju Guk.

February, 2002: Words to representatives of the ACLC Executive Committee:

“The Blessing of the 144,000 Clergy will form the core of the second Israel. Now Father has expanded beyond Christianity. Father has the power to guide these 144,000 to save America and embrace all the religions of the world. If you truly understand the Divine Principle and go out with your whole heart, who could reject you clergy? Who will insist on just being Presbyterian or Baptist? The walls must come down. 144,000 is not just clergy but churches and families that can form a Family Movement to save America. It has to become obvious to save America. I am here in America because of Jesus.” https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon02/SM020200-ACLC- Executive.htm

May 21, 2002 20th Anniversary of The Washington Times Washington Hilton Hotel “The Life of Jesus from the Perspective of God’s Will, and God’s Warning to the Present Age”

I’m 82, and “the time is coming for me to return to my homeland (referring to Korea). Before leaving [I give this message] concerning the actual situation of God and the spirit world.” (862-3)

The religious founders and leaders accept Divine Principle and “have mobilized their disciples and descendants …are returning to earth to resurrect [them] by bringing them to form new, true families through the Blessing of marriage.” (863)

STATEMENT REGARDING ISLAM

The thieves next to Jesus on Golgotha represent the democratic and communist worlds, and Barabbas, who received good fortune because of Jesus, represents Islam, “a force standing in an ambiguous relationship to Christianity.” (863) This sowed “four major blocs.” The Messiah “has no choice except to appear upon the internal foundation… which represents God. [He] will build a movement that absorbs the external environment and unites the …cultural spheres” centering on Christianity. (864)

VICTORY OF THE RIGHT-HAND THIEF Even though the right-hand thief was “a thief and a murderer,” if he had not been there, “Jesus would have lost his relationship with the earth and humankind. …One individual alone maintained this relationship. While facing death, one man transcended death and placed all his hope in Jesus. …were it not for the thief on the right, Jesus would not have been able to resurrect and resume his providence on earth. …He “connected with Jesus and attended Jesus as the one who embodied his most fervent hopes, even as he accompanied Jesus on the path of death. …he surpassed the disciples. He was superior to Peter.” This is the foundation for Christianity and the democratic world, the only thing upon which the Messiah has to work. This chosen world nonetheless is “a thief and a murderer.” (864-65)

THE ORIGIN OF CHRISTIANITY It was heart alone, not knowledge of Jesus’ teachings or pledging to become a new person, that “directed and empowered him. …for this reason, the thief on the right became a central character in human history, a man who represented the earth and salvaged the future.” Christianity began not from the cross, but after the 40-days in which the resurrected Jesus met the disciples, when “the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples.” (865-66)

Father explains the Gethsemane prayer, the externals of Jesus’ primary course, and the meaning of “it is finished…He made of himself a perfect offering… Having completed that, in the end he said, ‘It is finished.’” By realizing that Jesus “died a tragic death,” Christianity and Judaism “will repent and become one. …and prepare to receive the Lord on his return.” (867)

An account of the completeness of rejection by his home to his religion and country. “Jesus walked a wretched path, …where people ripped his clothing, drove him on, and forced him to the ground. …Evil men whipped and beat him. [Jesus] could have fallen prey to self-pity… He could have set the entire universe in motion to breathe a deep sigh of despair with him. [But] he was concerned about how great a sorrow God must have felt… he went so far as to feel apologetic toward God for having been rejected.” Also, “he did not feel enmity toward anyone,” because “it was his responsibility” to rally them. (869)

“Jesus established a new promise …the promise of connecting the spirit world and earthly world. That promise remained as a condition to be fulfilled by the disciples…

“Had Jesus not died, heaven and earth would have been connected through him. Because he died as he did, Jesus came to represent the conditions in heaven and the Holy Spirit came to represent the conditions on earth.” (Pyeong Hwa Gyeong, pp. 870-71)

The Times, UPI and “other major media outlets” need to “accept this lofty command from heaven and take up the task of educating humankind, taking a stance that transcends religion and ideology.”

NOTE at the end of his speech, with reference to the eight stages, Father is working on the level of Heaven and Earth:

“Please note that I have distributed to you a pamphlet containing messages from leaders in the spirit world. I ask that you read this carefully. Thank you.” (871)

Aug 18, 2002: True Mother’s address to the general assembly of the Inter-Religious and international Federation for World Peace

“The United Nations is an Organization that Should Realize God’s Ideal” United Nations HQ, New York City

“The Women’s Federation for World Peace …has also emphasized the importance of exercising abstinence before marriage and maintaining fidelity between husband and wife. …Of all the problems the world is burdened with, spiritual ignorance that leads to denial of God and the collapse of the family are the most critical issues. …Just as is any parent, God also feels despair when His children are in pain. God’s greatest misery is from the loss of humankind’s ability to feel His heart.

…We cannot fulfill a true ideal of brothers and sisters unless we have God and the universal ideal of True Parents. I am committed to a movement that builds true families centered on the unwavering axis of true love between husband and wife. Only in such a family can we establish models for true parents, true couples and true children. World peace and prosperous nations are only possible on the foundation of true families.

I am always grateful for my husband, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, for his ideological leadership and for wholeheartedly supporting me so I can achieve these goals for the sake of goodness. Reverend Sun Myung Moon has devoted his entire life ot realizing God’s Will and world peace. From a very young age, he has had a special relationship with God … no obstacle could bar his determination to fulfill the promise he made to God and Jesus over 60 years ago on top of a mountain in Korea. …Reverend Moon comforted God’s heart even if it meant making it a priority over his own family and sacrificing his connection to his people and his country.” (Anthology vol. 3, pp. 69-71)

Father send some 75 Korean men, most of them who had been serving as church leaders in Japan, to matriculate as students at UTS (2002-05).

March 2, 2003 8 of 88

A month after this event, True Parents hosted an IIFWP international seminar for peace in the Middle East.

Middle East Peace Initiative: Beyond Co-Existence Toward a New Culture of Peace Closing Plenary March 2, 2003, Sheraton National Hotel, Arlington, VA

“Again I am telling you, the most simple way, it may sound a little bit unrealistic to you, but the simplest way of building one family under God is the so-called exchange marriage between Jews and Muslims, between communists and free world people. Take Korea, for example. If the leader of Korea, Kim Jong Il’s children, and President Noh of South Korea’s children, if they marry together, if through marriage this enemy relationship can be eliminated, God will work with us to secure one true family under God. And then if the time comes that the entire United Nation votes yes, let’s invite Rev. Moon who is the champion of inter-religious, interracial, international marriage, and have him give the blessing to all of humanity, it won’t take longer than a week to restore humanity.

“I can proclaim that. The solution is not far away. It is right here. We have to work for it. If we become the true blessed family, blessed couples we can bless our relatives, our cousin’s family, our nephew’s family. It can multiply like wildfire. The time is here now that even if they don’t like it you have to even use your force to go through this blessing, because it is for the sake of their family.

“…What about you? If I propose here that between the leaders of Judaism, the leaders of Islam and the leaders of Christianity you do exchange marriage, in other words, inter-religious, international marriage, would you follow my direction? If you are not confident about it, send your candidates and I will educate them for 40 days. Then 100 percent will agree with it and they will go through this.

“Would you do that? God wants it. Your ancestors, your saints, and the founders of your religion want it. If you don’t believe what I am saying, go and pray tonight. Pray about it. Pray to the founders of your religion about what I am saying today. To Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, to whomever you are centered on, even Confucius. They will give you a clear answer if you are truly praying. They are probably waiting for your prayer.”

May 10, 2003 Proclamation of High Noon Settlement and the Liberation of All Nations on Earth and in Heaven, East Garden, Irvington, NY

“Now we are entering an era in which the people of the world will fight with each other in order to serve us. Therefore during this period the whole Unification Church should offer all they have to the church as the Total Offering. There should be no property under your name. The Settlement of Noon happens centering on the day with the shortest afternoon hours, and that is why you should renounce all your rights of ownership. From now on we should all transcend all customs and traditions of the world, and become one with the physical world centering on the spirit world, just as we have pledged through Family Pledge verse 5. You are all responsible to do so.

The words Central Families of the Cheon Il Guk mean that all the blessed families in the world and all people have restored the positions of fallen Adam and Eve, so that now they stand as they did before the Fall. Once that is done, the central families will enter a new era when they will be able to register their births and marriages. Until now you could not register your births and marriages, but now the time will come when you can do both, and so inherit everything achieved by True 9 of 88

…“Moreover, today is Hyun Jin (Nim)’s birthday. You should all know that this ceremony is being performed to commemorate such a special day. What does the Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families of the Peace and Unity of the Cosmic Parents and the Parents of Heaven and Earth mean? Adam’s mistake completely destroyed the Kingdom of Heaven and the throne for God’s Coronation. Today is the day we restore all that and start anew. Only when you become families who fulfill the Family Pledge can you enter the Kingdom of Heaven. After performing this ceremony, we should all make a resolution to do so.

…“Read the part about Lucifer! Start reading from where Lucifer completely submits… In the part about the changes taking place in the spirit world after the 360 Million-Couples Blessing, the preparations we made until the coming of today is recorded. (Mrs. Won Ju McDevitt reads: Lucifer’s Apology)

…“All of you should not sleep at all for twenty-four hours on one day and just work hard. Do you think you will be sleeping in the spirit world? When we consider the fact that in the spirit world spirits are doing nothing else except concentrating on this work, we should work hard and remember our duties as we approach the era of the realm of kings of families, so that we will not be ashamed in front of them. Everything that I say will become like mottos in the spirit world and will be recorded. There is no excuse you can give once you have gone to the spirit world. You cannot say, ‘we didn’t know.’ I have already told you very clearly. You should all know that if you don’t keep to these words, you will never be able to enter this realm of blessing. No matter who is entering heaven, no one can harbor two minds in his/her mind. They should only know God and True Parents. From now on you have to start living strict lives. I have lived like that all my life.

“Just like God you should all have one mind, one body and one mindset. That idea is the liberated settlement of families in both heaven and earth. It is the family. What do you think was God’s original idea? It was to bring about the settlement of God’s family after creating them. You should also have the same idea. No matter what you are doing, always remember the settlement of families.

“Today we are entering an era in which even in the spirit world True Parents and God will be able to appear in physical form to give directions. We are entering a new era where instructions will be broadcast. Just like the Internet age, proclamations will be made around the world at the same time through e-mail. It all sounds like lies doesn’t it? In the past there was only I. Not even God can understand. Can God ask me to bless a saint with a murderer? On my birthday of this year we could not have performed the Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families of the Peace and Unity of the Cosmic and the Parents of Heaven and Earth. Only when we united centering on the one lineage could we carry out this ceremony with Him present. …God had not been able to register His marriage and birth. Did he register, or didn’t he? He does not have a nation. How can He register if he does not have a nation?

“…how can such a vast thing start from this single system, and how can the relationships of generations fit together and the results answer for the paths taken? …True Parents are the only people who know the answer. …I am the person who came up with that. I am even thinking about what God cannot do, and what He does not want. That is why True Parents and the King of Heaven and Earth have to be liberated. You will be set as the ancestor of the Blessing in the nation where you were registered and you will have birth registrations. The standards according to the generations will be connected automatically to heaven, and for eternity the liberated heaven will become the kingdom of love of God. Amen! [Amen!] Mark my words, because they will come true. Record them and listen to them.”

“Today we will make a new beginning. Every day should now become the Sabbath. Each day we should do Kyung Beh and Kajong Mengse and we should teach our children. Then a new day the 8th Day of Shi Hwi or attendance will begin. …We are going to establish the something beyond the Sabbath - that is the Day of Attendance. This will be the 8th Day. The number 8 is the number of a new day and a new beginning.

“…Everyday now must become the Sabbath. We will abolish the old Sabbath in which only one day was the Sabbath. It used to be a day of rest, however we now must have a different lifestyle. Sabbath is now they day to work because of the fall and the course of restoration God has no time or chance to rest. How can we rest if God cannot rest. Therefore we should set the condition that we will work hard seven days a week. We must work hard so that we can restore all things into God’s realm - this will also restore all the numbers. …

“Do you sleep with clothes? You must now sleep together without clothes. You must be very intimate to achieve harmony. You must follow the principles and laws taught by the parents. All relatives would like to visit you with this kind of spirit. So from now all husbands and wives must sleep naked. You must have a right heart to bring harmony between your brothers and sisters and bring harmonious relationships. Someday in the future the way I will give your inheritance will be based on how we are loving each other.” (“Happy True Parents Day,” https:// www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon04/SM040419.htm)

A public address, “The Path of Humanity and the United States in the Era of the Peace Kingdom,” was given in the same location later in the day; see PHG 9-18.

The Path of Humanity and the United States in the Era of the Peace Kingdom April 19, 2004, New Yorker Hotel, New York, NY

“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for coming. You are leaders from every field and sphere of life and from all parts of the world, attending today’s celebration and offering your congratulations on this forty-fourth anniversary of True Parents’ Day.

“…I came to learn that God is not a Being sitting on a throne of glory and honor. Rather, He is a God of sadness, lamentation and anguish, endeavoring to save His children who fell and plunged into hell.

“…on May 4 of last year, I made the declaration of the “Age of the Great Transition to the Realm of Dominion under the Ideal of Creation.” Then on July 13 of the same year, I ended the providence of restoration through indemnity. …The efforts to substantiate the nation of the Fourth Israel, proclaimed on August 20, 2003, took shape in the devoted efforts made for peace in the Middle East, which is the realm of the First Israel. They culminated with the Coronation Ceremony of the Kingship of Jesus, which took place in Jerusalem on December 22, 2003. On this victorious foundation, we held the Coronation Ceremony of the Kingship of Peace on March 23, 2004, in a Capitol building of the United States, which is the Second Israel. Through this ceremony, the age of true liberation and freedom drew closer to humanity, and we began to actualize the proclamation of God’s Fatherland and the Era of the Peace Kingdom, made at the beginning of this year.

I came to the United States in 1971, in accordance with the command of Heaven.

“…we first need to find out what is true. On the day we can do so—thus making it 11 of 88

possible for true parents, true husbands and wives, true children, true citizens, true things, a true sovereignty and a true universe to communicate with the heart of the true God and be moved by Him and surrender to Him—that day will become the Last Day of the evil world. The moment this ideal is realized corresponds to the Last Days, that is, the time of the Second Advent.

“…The enthronement of the Peace King as the Cosmic Parent, the Parents of Heaven and Earth, and the Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, was held on March 23 of this year at the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C. It was a major declaration that substantially secured God’s Kingship on earth. Furthermore, the declaration of the Ideal Kingdom of Heaven of Cosmic Peace and Unity, made at the Capitol on the same day, is the historic opening of the age of the Federation of Blessed Families of the Member States of the United Nations.

“It is now the fourth year of Cheon Il Guk, in which the Kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven can be established in reality, based on ideal families that are centered on the Cosmic Parent, the Parents of Heaven and Earth, and the Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. Thus, during this period in April, declared on this day, the forty-fourth anniversary of True Parents’ Day, we have ushered in the day of the liberation and complete freedom of the angelic world, the complete freedom of Cain and Abel and, furthermore, the complete freedom of the Parents.

“Going a step further, we are approaching the date May 1, which marks the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. On that day, we will usher in the day of national liberation. Now that the age of liberation and complete freedom has arrived, henceforth everything will be entrusted to the overall, complete, absolute and omnipotent authority of God, and the era of His direct dominion will arrive, when He can guide us personally.”

2005.02.14 [Father spoke of these events at the Cheongpyeong Training Center]

“On the foundation of overcoming that final level of struggle, in the year 2001 I was able to declare the era of Cheon Il Guk, the time of true love under the sovereignty of Abel, and to offer God His kingship.

“On that victorious foundation, in Jerusalem in 2003 I offered Jesus his coronation as the King of Peace of the First Israel. In 2004, crowning ceremonies were held in America, the Second Israel, in Korea, the Third Israel, and finally on the global level. Thus I was elevated as the King of Peace transcending religions and nations, in the capacity of the True Parent of humankind. Standing upon these providential victories, now in 2005 the world’s six billion people have entered the second stage in the three-stage process of building the Kingdom of the Cheon Il Guk.

…“It is our destiny to live in attendance to the True Parents as our eternal Abel. They are the vertical axis, coming as the incarnation of the incorporeal God. The True Parents are the Savior of humankind, the Messiah, and the Second Coming of the Lord. They are the King and Queen of Peace in the Kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven.

“Now, carrying with us this heavenly message, we must depart to spread the seeds. Each of us should become the creators of this new world, as we go out to plant the seeds of true life and true love and represent heaven’s family. Do not be so foolish as to scatter your seeds into the air, to be carried off by the winds of secular vanity and immorality. Seek the humblest and lowest position. Plant your seeds in the deepest and richest fertile soil. Break down the walls between races, abolish the national borders and bear the fruit of cross- cultural, interracial marriages that go beyond religion and nation. Let us do 12 of 88

mighty works to uphold God’s true lineage eternally. The providence of interracial, cross-cultural marriage shall elevate the Mongolian race and all humankind through the true love of the eternal God.

…“Today you have received the heavenly decree. The heavenly decree is always a double-edged sword, bringing both blessing and judgment. The choice is yours. Without a doubt I have revealed tremendous secrets of heaven to you today. There is no turning back; the arrow has left the bow. There is no room for negotiation or compromise. The completion and perfection of God’s providence alone awaits us at the finish line.” (https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon05/ SM050214b.htm)

“Let us take a closer look at the true family philosophy. The family is the framework and environment for human growth. In the Garden of Eden, Adam’s family was to have modeled God’s ideal of the true family. This family was to have established a Four-Position Foundation, giving visible manifestation to the invisible God. God, the Creator, is the subject partner who created human beings as His object partners. Before He created human beings, however, the idea of children, the idea of brothers and sisters, the idea of husband and wife, and the idea of parents existed only conceptually in His mind. By creating Adam and Eve, God wanted to make these ideas actual and perfect them. Through Adam’s family, He wanted to bring about the perfection of true love in actual children, the perfection of true love in actual brothers and sisters, the perfection of true love in an actual husband and wife, and the perfection of the true love ideal in actual parents. Then God would experience joy, unlimited joy.

“This is the core of the true family philosophy. It is to perfect the Four Great Realms of Heart and the Three Great Kingships, which are the fundamental basis of all human relations. Completing them is the requirement for becoming a true family. The Four Great Realms of Heart refer to the child’s realm of heart, the brother and sister’s realm of heart, the husband and wife’s realm of heart, and the parents’ realm of heart. [2] Allow me to elaborate. Everyone is born on this earth as someone’s child. We then go through a process of forming relationships with brothers and sisters, marrying to become a husband or wife, and then bearing children to become parents. Hence, the Four Great Realms of Heart are fulfilled within the framework of the family.

“…Please understand. What happens when human beings, born as wild olive trees, are grafted onto the cultivated olive tree? The Holy Blessing Ceremony changes their blood lineage. This takes place in the realm of grace of the True Parents, who come as the Messiah for humanity. Therefore, when they give birth to children of goodness, they are practicing filial piety on a providential level by enabling God to embrace His third generation, that is, His grandsons and granddaughters. This signifies the historic appearance of the third generation of creators. Their appearance completes the central root, central trunk and central bud linked to God’s original love, original life and original lineage. God has long desired to see this. It marks the perfection of the ideal of creation, one family at a time. As this perfected ideal family expands, there will be ideal tribes, ideal societies, ideal nations and an ideal world—in other words the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven.

“…How will you greet your good ancestors? You have been born anew as cultivated olive trees; therefore you should greet them with new eyes, new ears, 13 of 88

and a new heart. You are called to be the forerunners in practicing the true family philosophy.

“I know with certainty Heaven’s will. I know why God anointed me and sent me in the position of a True Parent. As a True Parent, I must fulfill the mission of the savior—to bring perfect salvation to the world. I must fulfill the responsibility of the Messiah—to remove the sins of humanity. I must fill the earth with fields of cultivated olive trees—true families—by bestowing the marriage Blessing centering on true love. Now this heavenly command is being accomplished with revolutionary speed. Tens of thousands of families have been blessed in international, interracial and interreligious marriages. They are carrying out their work to establish Cheon Il Guk under the banners of the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace and the Mongolian Peoples Federation for World Peace. You can see for yourself. They are God’s special forces, working at the risk of their lives in this Era After the Coming of Heaven.

“No force can extinguish the torchlight of the true love revolution. The power of God is moving with us, and the entire spirit world is working with us. Who can possibly hold back this typhoon that is establishing the new heaven and new earth? Please have a humble attitude in order to receive the grace of the age that is approaching like a tidal wave. We live in a new age of the family. Those who behave selfishly and individualistically, or do immoral acts that undermine human ethics, will not escape Heaven’s punishment. Please establish true families that live in accord with God’s ideal of creation. Please become true parents. God will reside in your family. Your family will overflow with eternal peace and happiness.

“The Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace and Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace are the pillars of cloud and of fire that will lead humanity in the direction of righteousness. Your core values must now be “absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience.” Mongolian people, please elevate your race; become a homogeneous, kinship community by receiving the Blessing and practicing God’s true love. Become the vanguard in establishing this earth as God’s homeland and the homeland of true families. I urge you to put on the armor of true love and become courageous leaders ridding this land of satanic evil.” https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon05/SM050413.htm

June 25–28, 2005 “God’s Kingdom of Peace Is the Eternal Home of Our Blessed Families” [PHG 8-15, pp. 1282 ff]

June 25 New York, NY: Jacob K. Javits Convention Center June 26 Washington, DC: Ronald Reagan Building June 27 Chicago, IL: Hilton Hotel June 28 Los Angeles, CA: Airport Marriott Hotel

“God’s Kingdom of Peace Is the Eternal Home of Our Blessed Families”

“As I stand here today on this platform, I would like to make a truly important historic declaration to humanity. For thousands of years, Satan used the Bering Strait to separate the East from the West and the North from the South, in particular to separate North America from Russia geographically. I propose that a bridge be constructed over or a tunnel be dug under the Bering Strait, so that it will be able to connect a world super highway starting from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa to Santiago, Chile, and from London to New York, making the world a single community. I would call this, “The World Peace King Bridge-Tunnel.” Ladies and gentlemen, for this dramatic and historic project to succeed, the United States, Russia, Europe, China, India, Japan, Brazil and all the nations and religions of the world need to work hand-in hand. With the complete success of this project, humankind will be one step closer to the peace kingdom on earth, where there is no more division and war.

“God is warning us that we can no longer tolerate separation and division. So let us really bind the world together as one community, tear down the walls of race, culture, religion, and nationality, and establish a world of peace on this earth. This has been God’s fervent desire. There is no other way. Humankind’s current course of conflict and selfishness is a dead-end street.” https://www.tparents.org/Moon- Talks/SunMyungMoon05/SunMyungMoon-050625.pdf

Inauguration of the Universal Peace Federation Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall “God’s Ideal Family: The Model for World Peace.”

Present were 376 delegates from 157 nations. Reverend Moon’s speech was the first event in a speaking tour that would take him to 120 nations, visiting and delivering this major address in almost one city per day.

The UPF’s mission is to “renew the existing United Nations and provide a new level of leadership as an ‘Abel-type’ United Nations, that is, a United Nations whose efforts for peace are offered to heaven, investing itself ceaselessly in living for the sake of others.”

“Do you know what has pained God’s heart, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage. And with the loss of His lineage, He lost His right of ownership. Let me talk about lineage for a moment. Lineage is more important than life and more important than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three qualities that define the parent- child relationship, love, life and lineage, lineage is the fruit. The seed of true love is embedded in God’s lineage. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life. Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage. To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to create God’s homeland, the ideal nation. Only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to establish world peace. Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough.

“Without lineage, neither life nor love can endure. You strive to set a good tradition, but it will endure only through your lineage. Lineage is the bridge allowing the parents’ spirit to carry on through subsequent generations. In other words, lineage is the first and final condition necessary for parents to harvest the fruits of their love, the fruits of their life and the fruits of their joy. We need to know this with certainty. …Our bondage to the lineage of Satan has caused so much suffering throughout history. Let us now boldly step forth to sever it and be grafted onto the root of the lineage of the True Parents.

“In more than 180 countries, Ambassadors for Peace who have inherited Heaven’s will and tradition are making serious effort, day and night, to proclaim the values of true love and true family. They are moving forward with full force to establish peace on this earth. In the Middle East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews, Christians and Muslims have found the resources in my philosophy of peace to engage in a new dimension of dialogue. In past decades my Unification Thought played a decisive role in ending the Cold War. Now I am successfully leading behind-the- scenes efforts to bring about the unification of my homeland of Korea.

“Under the banner of the Universal Peace Federation, we will serve as Peace Kingdom Police Force and a Peace Kingdom Corps to safeguard global peace. For the sake of humanity’s future, I hope that you will put on new true love armor in this new age and be wise and brave activists in this world-wide police force.

“But I am not yet satisfied, because I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. I have come as the True Parent of humankind with God’s anointing and I am determined to keep my promise to Him. I am determined to obliterate 15 of 88

all national divisions and barriers that have poisoned this earth and to establish the world of peace, where all people everywhere can live hand in hand. Leaders from around the world, let me take the opportunity provided by today’s distinguished forum to reiterate my proposal for a truly providential and revolutionary project. For the sake of peace and human welfare, I propose that we build a passage for transit across the Bering Strait, where Satan has historically divided east and west, and north and south, and where the North American and Russian land masses are separated. This passage, which I call the ‘World Peace King Bridge Tunnel,’ will link an International Highway System that will allow people to travel on land from Africa’s Cape of Good Hope to Santiago, Chile, and from London to New York, across the Bering Strait, connecting the world as a single community.

“I leave you with a choice. There can be no perfection in ignorance. The message from Heaven that I convey to you today is both a blessing and a warning to this generation. I, Reverend Moon, will take the lead in establishing true families, true societies, true nations and a true world. Will you join with me as I rise and gain strength in accordance with heavenly fortune? Or will you remain captive behind the same old walls, all of them Satan’s handiwork: the wall of your religion, the wall of your culture, the wall of your nationality and the wall of your race, and spend the remainder of your time on earth in agony and regret? Heaven is summoning you to be the wise leaders who will set aright this world of evil and establish a new heaven and new earth.” (“God’s Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful Ideal World I,” address at the inauguration of UPF, Sept 12, 2005, in True Mother’s Anthology vol. 2, p. 280)

Here is how Father described the UPF mission in the Peace Messages:

“On September 12, 2005, I founded the Universal Peace Federation. Then, in order to build one family under God through the twin strategies of proclaiming God’s Word and conducting the marriage Blessing, I completed three worldwide speaking tours with my wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, our children and our grandchildren. In this way we were able to substantiate three generations within one family fulfilling the marriage Blessing ideal.”

…“Ladies and gentlemen, on September 12, 2005, I proclaimed throughout all of heaven and earth the establishment of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), which will enable God’s providence to flourish. It is now possible for UPF to serve as an Abel-type counterpart to the Cain-type United Nations in the Era after the Coming of Heaven. It will renew the United Nations and lead the way for millions of ambassadors for peace throughout the world who have taken up my teaching, the ‘Way of the Heavenly Parent,’ which consists of the principles of true love and the ideal of true family. Absolutely they will fulfill Heaven’s will to recreate the world as one family under God.

“Ladies and gentlemen, through the international and cross-cultural marriage Blessings that transcend religious denomination and nationality, the UPF will be in the vanguard of the great revolution to restore the original lineage of humanity, hearkening back to Adam before the Fall. Some may scoff and say that this is impossible. Yet where there is a will, there is a way, especially if it is God’s Will. Please think about this: What do you think will happen if people from the United States and Russia marry across national boundaries through international and cross-cultural marriage Blessings, according to the teachings of Rev. Moon, who does God’s work on His behalf? The two nations will belong to one family under God, the eternal, absolute Lord of all creation. How could anyone harbor antagonism toward, much less point weapons at, a nation where millions of their grandchildren make their home?” (PHG 1585-87, August 27, 2008)

December 23-27, 2005 True Parents celebrated Christmas at East Garden. Father spoke on Christmas Eve, including these words: 16 of 88

“Don’t think, ‘Oh, because I’m a blessed family, we will just enter heaven.’ This is the cosmic spring in which we can sow incredible seed for the future. If you wait and miss the chance of this springtime, your family will suddenly find itself in winter with no harvest and you will be shocked. This is the cosmic springtime and therefore this is the time to plant and then to harvest. We must perfect ourselves: this is the most important dimension of our lives. We must truly use this time effectively. We must go through 2008 and then 2009 - 10 -11 -12.

“The words that Father is speaking are unprecedented in history. This has never been done before. Father proclaimed the Word and then in 2001 he did the Coronation Ceremony for God’s Kingship. Then Father was crowned as the King of Peace in the U.S. What does King of Peace mean? That he is the true owner of this world. What did he emphasize? The human Fall. In Geneva Father set the condition to go into very deep education concerning the Fall and what was lost. When I was translating I got the feeling that True Father was so serious and pouring out his heart so strongly that it was as if he were vomiting blood.

“What are the problems? Free Sex, connected to blood; homosexuality, connected to blood; AIDS, connected to blood. The second problem came because the blood lineage was lost. Cain killed Abel. Murder resulted. The third problem was ownership. God didn’t want to give up His ownership but because His children fell He was helpless and had to allow the ownership to go to Satan. Many people have ownership of things now, such as property, cash, etc. Our responsibility is to give up everything 100 %; give it to God so God can bless it and give it back to us.” https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon05/ SunMyungMoon-051224.htm

May 3—Father’s prayer for the Abel UN and True Mother:

“Now the blessed families and all the people of the nations connected to the United States face the final goal of hope, which shall conclude as a single goal through the United Nations. It is my desire during this year to focus on and connect to that hope. It is my desire to find that place where we can settle down on Your throne, based on a new Abel UN. Thus, I pray that the peace king, peace kingdom corps and peace kingdom police can be united as one under True Mother and be brought to ultimate fruition. In this way, I sincerely pray and wish, Father, that You will bless us so that we can progress toward the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven. There, everything turns out as we wish. We can freely assert ourselves while maintaining the beauty of a sovereignty rooted in love.” (2 CSG p. 1592-3) Jumping ahead, in 2009, on January 15 and 31, True Father designated the “Peace King Representatives” as having the mission of the Peace Kingdom Police and Peace Kingdom Corps:

“Then, the Peace UN, led by the Peace King Representatives in Korean, boon- bong-wangs, dispatched to all nations of the world, should fulfill its mission to advance the day of the completion of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven by centering upon True Parents, who have been enthroned as the Peace King of Kings Throughout Heaven and Earth. And what is the significance of Peace King Representatives? There may be some who are curious about this point.

It was the mission of Jesus’ disciples:

“Think about the time of Jesus. The title and mission of disciples, who should have served Jesus and realized the dream of uniting all humanity as one family, should have been boon-bong-wang. As Jesus’ second selves, they should have been dispatched to all corners of the globe. They should have taken the roads from Rome to the rest of the world and fulfilled their missions as Jesus’ representatives 17 of 88

and heirs. In short, it was their mission to serve Jesus and establish the kingdom of peace here on earth.

It is the mission of the Peace King Representatives:

“Similarly, the leaders from around the world to whom the King of Peace, the True Parent of Humankind, has given the mission of Peace King Representatives should fulfill their responsibilities as True Parents representatives and heirs.

The core mission is to eradicate the walls between races, religions, nations and cultures:

“In other words, they should fulfill their God-given mission to settle everlasting peace on earth. They should perform their mission as a furnace of true love, eradicating without trace the walls between races, religions, nations and cultures, and establishing the kingdom of peace under the banner, One Family under God. The Peace Kingdom Corps and Peace Kingdom Police force, which I have organized worldwide, will be fully mobilized to carry out this solemn mission.”

The mission is extended to everyone:

“Distinguished guests, by attending this historic rally, you have received Heaven’s call.” “Coronation for the Authority of the Liberation of God, the King of Kings,” January 15 and 31, 2009, http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon09/ SunMyungMoon-090115a.htm

On June 13, 2006, the Cheon Jeong Gung was opened.

DEFINITION OF THE PEACE KINGDOM POLICE, PEACE KINGDOM CORPS AND PEACE OVERSIGHT CORPS

The UN failed to “recover God’s homeland and hometown [in the Korean War]… To set an indemnity condition to offset this, my husband and I established the Universal Peace Federation and then organized the Peace Kingdom Corps and Peace Kingdom Police Force centering on the women who love the Universal Peace Federation and are willing to serve and sacrifice for the sake of peace under its banner.”

“I will no longer stay still. I will begin everything here. Peace Kingdom Police! Raise your hands. [Yes!] Let me see your hands. Where are you? [Here we are.] Peace Kingdom Corps! Raise your hands. [Yes!] The Peace Kingdom Police, Peace Kingdom Corps, and the Peace Oversight Corps have been established. If members of the first two drink alcohol or do wicked deeds, the Oversight Corps—the women—will take care of them. Women are the mothers and the elder sisters.

“Since it was the mother and elder sister who fell, I should therefore place the Oversight Corps in position, and this would prevent those from the Peace Kingdom Police and Peace Kingdom Corps from drinking alcohol and dancing.

“If there were anyone who damaged his family, he would be instantly taken care of! Since there are many beautiful women on the Oversight Corps, some may hold wrong ideas about them, but they stand in place of your mothers and elder sisters. The mother and the elder sister fell. Are you clear on that? [Yes.]

“I failed to give a clear definition of what the Peace Kingdom Police, the Peace Kingdom Corps and the Oversight Corps are. There were two very serious problems in Adam’s family: first that the lineage was turned upside down, and second that the sons of the family, Cain and Abel, were raised wrongly, resulting in the one murdering the other.

“How great it would have been if Eve had given birth to the eldest son of God! How wonderful, if she had given birth to the sons and daughters of God! The lineage would not have been defiled, and this perverse history, whereby heaven and earth were completely subverted with the elder son murdering the younger son, would not have come about. Do you understand, or not? [We understand.]” (“Cheon Il Guk is the Ideal Heavenly Kingdom of Eternal Peace,” June 13, 2006, Cheongpyeong, Korea, Today’s World, June 2006, p. 9)

August 20: “God’s Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World II”

This speech was given by Reverend Sun Myung Moon on August 20, 2006 at the “Victory and Complete Freedom Rally to Bring Universal Peace to the Fatherland and Hometown,” and then by Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon between September 1 and October 14 during a 40- nation Victory and Complete Freedom Rally to Bring Universal Peace to the Fatherland and Hometown speaking tour.

The September 1–October 14 tour was an extension of the UPF Worldwide Speaking Tour to Return to the Original Fatherland and Hometown to over 40 additional nations, expanding on the Victory and Complete Freedom Rally to Bring Universal Peace to the Fatherland and Hometown (Beginning on September 6, members of the True Family held simultaneous events in as many as 12 venues in each nation.) The tour included one speech in the US, Sept 3 in the Manhattan Center. [Pyeong Hwa Gyeong, 4-11 and True Mother’s Anthology, vol. 2, p. 298 ff. This was the only public event of True Parents in America in 2006. We have HDH records at East Garden, April 15-26.

The worldwide tour speech, which was delivered by both Father and Mother, presents the core providence very concisely:

“As you may know, after the coronation ceremonies at which my husband was acknowledged as the King of Peace, held both in the United States Senate Office Building and the Korean National Assembly in 2004, we founded the Universal Peace Federation in New York City on September 12, 2005. On the foundation of those victories, on June 13 of this year we held the Entrance Ceremony of the Cheon Jeong Gung and the Coronation Ceremony of the True Parents as the King and Queen of Cosmic Peace. Each of these was a step towards the establishment of the substantial kingdom of heaven on earth, Cheon Il Guk.

“Ladies and gentlemen, immediately after the inauguration of the Universal Peace Federation my husband embarked on a world speaking tour that took him to 120 nations. Inheriting the victory of that first tour, I continued with a 180-nation tour, declaring God’s message in the capacity of the True Parent. Through this tour, which took me around the entire world over the past six months, my sons and I worked together seamlessly, fulfilling the providence of mother-son cooperation. As a true parent accompanied by true children, we declared the Word and officiated together over marriage Blessings for the sake of world peace. Through this, I restored and offered to Heaven the realm of the lineage and the realm of Cain and Abel unity, both of which had been lost by Eve, the mother of the first human family.

“Ladies and gentlemen, August 20 of this year was the twenty-first anniversary of my husband’s release from Danbury Prison in the United States, which was the last of six unjust incarcerations he has had to endure during his lifetime. His release on that day signified victory over imprisonment on the worldwide level and the attainment of the realm of liberation and complete freedom. To commemorate that significant day, and to welcome me back from my successfully-completed world speaking tour, my husband hosted a global level peace rally in Korea. More than 30,000 core leaders, representing 1.2 million ambassadors for peace and leaders in

120 nations gathered and strengthened their resolve to realize world peace.

“Now, on the foundation of the success of that providential event, we are traveling to every corner of the world with three generations of True Parents’ family in the capacity of the King of Cosmic Peace to proclaim this message. It contains the secrets of Heaven, which God has sent down to humankind in this Era After the Coming of Heaven.”

True Father’s words on April 26 at East Garden concluded with:

“Why are you here? Men are part of True Father’s body. Women (are part) of True Mother’s body. All humankind has been belonging to Satan. They should come back to True Parents and be united with True Parents. Mother is united with Father. You must not be self-centered.” (https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/ SunMyungMoon06/SunMyungMoon-060426.htm)

March 19, 2007 Proclamation of Returning to the Civilization of Universal Peace and the Age of God’s Kingship, and Returning to the Realm of the Peace Civilization of Cheon Il Guk, Marriott Resort Hotel on Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii

“Since we already proclaimed the era of the Pacific Rim civilization, what we must do now is to proclaim the era of the kingship of the peaceful Cosmic Rim civilization. That is, we need to proclaim the era of the kingdom of the peaceful Cosmic Rim civilization, as well as Cheon Il Guk. …Cheon Il Guk means that two people become one. The East and West will become one; the North and South will become one. This is the era where my country, the peaceful Cheon Il Guk civilization, will reign. Through this, God will be liberated, heaven and earth will be liberated, the entire cosmos will be liberated, and the era of the kingdom of peace will become a reality. In True Parents’ names, we now proclaim the era of the kingdom of the cosmic peaceful civilization and the era of my country, the peaceful Cheon Il Guk civilization. We need to embrace heaven and earth and the oceans of the world in our hearts and then dedicate all of them to Heaven. We resolve to exist as one, offering our country, our world and our heaven and earth.” (558-268, CBG 8-4-1-19, p. 956)

April 3 - June 1 Rallies to Announce the Dawn of the New Civilization of Universal Peace, Korea, Japan, USA

True Father declared a “Great Jubilee Year” in 2007. He said the reason for the declaration was the rise of the Pacific Rim Era. On April 3, True Father began a tour in Korea for the purpose of declaring the beginning of a new universal civilization of peace. He spoke in 25 locations of Korea.

The program began with entertainment, then a reading from the messages from the spirit world. A Holy Wine ceremony and Holy Burning ceremony were held for all the participants. True Father delivered the speech that he gave on March 17 in Kona, Hawaii, when he declared the dawn of the Pacific Rim Era to representatives from 120 nations. (“This Week in History,” http://familyfed.org/news-story/twih/spring-ushers-new- hope-35616/?utm_source=Members+Familyfed&utm_campaign=75249d753f- EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_1_10_2019_9_53_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d36dd bb328-75249d753f-88029665&mc_cid=75249d753f&mc_eid=7d961d9da8

True Mother continued the tour, giving this speech between May 2 and June 1 in Japan and the United States. Here are two quotes from True Mother’s text in Anthology, vol. 3, pp. 132, 134 and 139:

“My husband and I declared a jubilee year in God’s providence, a jubilee year the likes of which humankind has never experienced. …The development of human civilization has completed a circuit of the entire globe and has arrived at the Pacific

sphere. Human history has come to a point in time in the providence at which it should reach completion and fruition through the Pacific Rim region. No force can impede the providence now. Though there were both victories and defeats during the course of indemnity …nothing could prevent the rise of the Pacific Rim era. Herein lies the reason that Heaven declared this a jubilee year.”

“The year 2007 is very special because I announced the dawn of the new civilization of the Pacific Rim Era. To go over this final hill, all the victories that True Parents gained from the world were brought to Hawaii, and then cuttings were planted throughout the world.

…“The era of the Parents of Heaven and Earth has passed, and now it is the era of freedom and liberation of the Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, their own family, and all blessed families.

“At the same time, we all are entering the era of the Principle, in which there will be no room for excuses for not fulfilling the Principle. This means that the era in which we need salvation is coming to an end. Once we return to the Garden of Eden, we no longer need the realms of religion or politics. We now are entering a realm higher than the religious realm or the political realm—the era of the Principle.” (569-075)

September 2, 2007 Proclamation of the Beginning of Returning to the Fatherland and Hometown of the True Parent of the Cosmos and the True Parents of Heaven and Earth, North Garden, Kodiak, AK

September 23, 2007 Inauguration of the Abel UN, Manhattan Center, New York, NY “A Providential View of the Pacific Rim Era in Light of God’s Will: The United States and the Future Direction of the United Nations and the World”

https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon07/SunMyungMoon-070923.htm

The Universal Peace Federation is Abel and the Family Party, “another new organization, representing the secular world, is in the position of Cain.” (PHG 1589)

“The path is now wide open for humanity to establish true families. The family sets the pattern for living together in harmony. The warm environment of oneness based on love and respect between parents and children, mutual fidelity and love between husband and wife, and trust and mutual reliance among siblings is the manifestation of the model, ideal family. …In this way the three generations of grandparents, parents, and children should live together as one family and serve the eternal God. …You should form families that God will miss and yearn to return to after He has been away. You should raise families to which He can come freely as the Parent visiting His children. This is what it means to live in service to God. …That is where parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and siblings’ love—in short, the four realms of love or the four realms of heart—are perfected.

“Only in such a family can the upper and lower, front and behind, left and right be connected as one and spherical motion ensue. This leads to God’s everlasting, model ideal families and nations, and His peace kingdom. If only the entire world were filled with such true families! It would be an orderly world where people govern themselves by the heavenly way and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors or even judges.

“In order to restore this through indemnity, I established the Universal Peace Federation. (UPF) I then organized the ‘peace kingdom corps’ and the ‘peace kingdom police force,’ comprising women on Heaven’s side who have received the Marriage Blessing, who love peace, and who are willing to serve and sacrifice for the work of UPF. …As the peace organizations that stand in the forefront of 21 of 88

actualizing a world of peace with God at its center, they will create the peaceful, ideal world that God desires.

“Throughout my life, I have been doing my very best to dissolve God’s pain and sorrow and bring liberation and total freedom to His heart. Finally, on January 13, 2001, through the coronation ceremony of God’s kingship, I was able to restore His throne of glory and power and offer it to Him.

“The eighth area concerns true family values. God’s ideal of creation is to build God-centered true families. It is the goal of His salvation providence to restore the ideal of true family, the ideal that Adam could not fulfill in his own family, and in this way to establish the foundation for the kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven. The Marriage Blessing …is a sacred ritual through which to eradicate the original sin and engraft human beings to the true lineage of God.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Universal Peace Federation will be in the vanguard of carrying out the great revolution of restoring the original lineage of humanity back to that of Adam before the Fall through the International and Cross-cultural Marriage Blessing held on the inter-religious and international level.

“The oceanic era that has now begun is a time of great change throughout heaven and earth. A new culture of peace which transcends nations, oceans and continents will start in the Pacific Rim. The women of the world should now work together centering on True Mother to give birth to this new age of a holy civilization of peace.”

November 11-22, 2007 True Mother’s One Family Under God speaking tour of 12 cities in the United States (starting with True Father in Hawai’i)

Nov 16 (Nov 15 in USA; True Mother in Minneapolis): “Father returns to the official residence in Geomundo at around 10:20 a.m. Father views True Mother’s Rally taking place in Minneapolis. After the end of the rally Father calls True Mother; Shin-jun nim also gives his encouragements to True Mother in his own way, making everybody laugh.”

Nov 16: True Mother at HDH, Dallas:

“Even one person can change and transform the world. You are one person. Through you your family can be changed; your community can be changed; your nation can be changed. Providentially speaking, Korea and America have an inseparable relationship.” https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/HakJaHanMoon/ HakJaHan-071221.htm

The ascension of Hyo Jin Nim and True Parents’ teaching on succession

March 17 Hyo-jin Moon’s ascension, due to natural causes. True Father writes his epitaph:

“The lord who will open a gate into the Kingdom of Heaven, as a son of loyalty and filial piety in the garden that opens the way to the deep, wide and high realms of heaven.”

March 19 World-Level Ascension Ceremony for Hyo-jin Moon, Cheongpyeong Training Center

On March 19, True Father said,

“After inheriting such a family, Hyo-jin is passing on as the hyung nim [elder brother], so you should know that your hyung nim is being sent in a position in which all this can be concluded.”

FATHER’S WORDS ON HIS SUCCESSORS AND HEIRS 22 of 88

“I need people who can take my place when I am no longer here; hence centered on the 13 children, in line with the 12 directions, we must establish a foundation like the 12 gates to heaven, through which we can communicate with the spiritual world from the physical world. Centered on the natural law of the firstborn son and second son centered on the parents, the family line can be carried on naturally.

“Once this traditional pattern is expanded horizontally, this will become the heavenly nation.” (May You Blossom, My Beloved, p. 92)

2007, Sept 4, East Garden:

“All leaders, when they raise up their successor or heir, want them to be better than they are. This is the principle of heaven and earth’s creation. Hence, you who are in the position of owners should open the way for the son or daughter who most closely attends you to become even better than you are.

“Even though Satan may close a door and cause your heir to fall away, still you must keep the door open for him or her to return. Then your successor can inherit the original lineage, perfect and flawless, with no trace of the fallen lineage.

“If you leaders believe this and put it into practice, then when I pass into the heavenly world as its governor—the True Parent, True Teacher and True King in the position of having established a parent-child relationship with God in lineage—I will bequeath everything to you. I will consider you to be the representatives of the family of True Parents that God established, and I will give you the position of my representative as your inheritance. You need to believe that this proclamation is for heaven and earth. Hence, you need to put it into practice.” (Chambumo Gyeong, 1-2-5 #25, p. 119, 2007.09.04)

“I love my children; Hyun Jin Nim, Kook Jin Nim, and Hyung Jin Nim are doing so many things. When Hyun Jin Nim started working, he said the foundation created by True Parents is so vast and shining. Now if we correctly work on that foundation, so many miraculous developments will occur. So many Christians opposed me, but I overcame. Today the situation is much better than before. I am not so deeply worried because we have an eternal foundation that will never falter or go the wrong way. The will of God will now be accomplished.” (https://www.tparents.org/ Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon07/SunMyungMoon-070909.htm)

2008, March 2: Hawaii, translation of Pyongil Communications’ “summary of True Father’s words”:

“Cain is the elder brother but he cannot stand as the elder brother. He can do so only when he connects with True Mother and stands in a position that is equivalent to that of being part of Abel’s lineage.”

2008, April 6 49th True Parents Day, Kona, Hawai’i, with Hyunjin-nim and Kookjin-nim standing together in front of True Parents:

“You must unconditionally obey Mother’s word as Cain and Abel. You cannot compete against each other between your brothers. That is the primary cause of killing parents. Therefore, you might come to hate each other without knowing why. You might come to hate listening to his voice and come to want to kill him from 23 of 88

behind while he is walking. That kind of feeling will come out in your mind. … You haven’t united with Father nor Mother until now.” (Kachi, p. 133)

“The ocean culture is the culture of women, and it is the culture of which all cultures can converge. All the relationships of every nation, race and religion should become one in heart. Brothers should not fight. They should understand that when they fight, they actually are hurting their own father.” (https://www.tparents.org/ Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon08/SunMyungMoon-080406.htm)

“Hyun-jin nim and Kook-jin nim representing the members of the True Family offered the flowers. After receiving the flowers True Father had Hyun-jin nim and Kook-jin nim stand before him and spoke to the two brothers. He emphasized for the two sons on earth to unite centering on True Father, create the family ideal, become an example like Hyo-jin nim and Heung-jin nim in the spirit world, and be victorious before humanity and in history.

“True Father indicated that the time of perfecting God’s family ideal has come and that we were moving from an era of division into a new era. Everything that was turned upside down by Satan, the eight stages from the individual and beyond, should be made right. True Father emphasized that now was exactly the time to do that. He reminded us of the importance of these times and that a core has been creating in which the seed could be implanted within the family. True Father put emphasis on the fact the time of people being married through the international, cross-cultural blessing has actually come and from there seeds on the levels of the family, people, nation and world can spread and multiply.

“True Father stressed that we should continue with all these activities until 2013 and emphasized that we are doing the final portion of the job of rising above the confusion surrounding the lineage and creating a world where all people attend God and are connected under a single lineage centering on Him. Hyo-jin nim and Heung-jin nim in the spirit world should become as one; Hyun-jin nim and Kook-jin nim should become as one on the earth centering on True Mother to bring about the unity between the two worlds. True Father emphasized that they were making a new beginning on this occasion. This unity should be expanded to unite Cain and Abel on all levels and further to unite the Abel UN and Cain UN on a substantial level. True Father asked that we all live aligned to God without any conflicts and struggles, in peace and harmony.”(https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/ SunMyungMoon08/SunMyungMoon-080406a.htm)

April 13, 2008 Appointment of bunbongwangs (True Parents’ legates) to Korea, Japan and the United States; in the USA, Dr Dong Moon Joo (I believe) was our Abel bunbongwang and George H.W. Bush was our Cain bunbongwang.

April-May, 2008: True Parents transferred Hyung Jin Nim to the HQ Church pulpit and presidency of the Korean church. True Parents named him International President as well. At some point during this period, he was elected to the Board of UPF and of HSA-UWC America.

April 18 or 28: Hyung Jin Nim’s couple was crowned. True Parents stated the conditions for them to achieve. Hyung Jin Nim was to overcome the resentment of the three ages and of the fourth Adam. Specifically, in the instructor’s understanding, this meant to unite with True Mother, who had won victory over three ages, win the heart of Hyun Jin Nim, the presumptive “fourth Adam” (Today’s World, July, 1998), and sustain the unity of the family. On that foundation Hyung Jin Nim’s couple “can inherit the authority as the representatives and heirs who can attend to everything on behalf of True Parents.”

True Father declared in his prayer of anointing that his first son, Hyo Jin Nim, who had recently ascended, is the eldest son:

“Now with Hyo Jin’s going there [to spirit world], he goes there in the position of the 24 of 88

elder brother, and with the title of “The lord who opens the gate to loyalty and filial piety in the garden that opens the way to the deepest, highest realms of heaven.” He will acquire all the internal and external aspects of True Parents, and go to the heavenly world.”

Ten years after Hyo Jin Nim’s death, almost to the day, March 16, 2018, True Mother expanded on this:

“When the eldest son ascends to the spirit world, the second or third son does not become the eldest. The line continues with the son of the eldest son; it is that son’s responsibility. No matter how old the uncles may be, the ancestors should be attended by attending the eldest son’s son as the center.

“There is no previous or future True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. This means, there can be no concept of inheritor or successor.

”The person standing in the position of eldest son can become a central figure in carrying on the tradition. In simple terms, this son stands in a position akin to the High Priest. There are High Priests in each nation; those among you who are responsible for a nation are the High Priests of that nation. However, regarding the providence as a whole, when it comes to establishing the tradition centering on True Parents, the eldest son’s line will carry this mission through the generations.” (True Mother at the Famicon, IPEC, Las Vegas, March 16, 2018)

August 14, 2008: Inauguration of Injin-nim as “chairman and CEO of Manhattan Center”

“Can I take the Manhattan Center and turn it into a multi-media empire? And my Father said yes, go ahead. He really took that to heart and tried his best, and with his passing, and with my father asking me to take on the role of the chairman and CEO of the Manhattan Center, I realized that that dream must carry on. I realized that the media and how we package ourselves are of utmost importance. It is truly my first priority at the moment.”

Then Injin-nim states a broader mandate: “I want our movement to be a movement that people are dying to join, dying to be a part of. …So I believe that all of us here sitting in this room are the next ‘true parents’ of America. I am counting on you, brothers and sisters, to help me walk along this path, because I cannot do it without you! The True family cannot do it without you, but if we can come together as a community, if you can remember the defining moment that I know all of you in the first generation have had as to why you joined this moment — If you can revisit why you joined and then ask, “How do I translate that?” How do I give that to my children? How do I make this movement exciting enough for them to want to be a part of? If you can do that, I think we are not far off!

“I have a lot of work ahead of me, but the most important thing that I would like to do is ask for your input. I would love to be able to have the opportunity to tour the country and sit down with each and every one of you and listen to your ideas. Yes I have a vision in my mind, I have an idea of where I want to go, but I feel the best way to work together is to communicate. I want to learn from you as to how I can be a better chairperson for this great, great country of the United States.” (https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/ InJinMoon/InJinMoon-080814.htm)

A speech on record from her (then) husband Jin Sung Nim, with the same date, August 14, also reveals the unclarity:

“Recently, with Father asking her to take responsibility to HSA-UWC and FFWPU …I see executives from companies come to meet the new CEO of Manhattan Center.” (https:// www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/InJinMoon/InJinMoon-080814a.htm)

Then we have, on tparents.org, a speech by In Jin Nim with the title, “Inaugural Speech As 25 of 88

Chairman of HSA-UWC and FFWPU,” given at the Manhattan Center, and it is an expanded text of the speech recorded as being given on August 14. (https:// www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/InJinMoon/InJinMoon-080814b.htm)

From that point, In Jin Nim clearly acted in the position of the US church central figure. (https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/InJinMoon/InJinMoon-080900.pdf,

October 10, 2008 First seminar to proclaim and teach that God has now completed His portion of responsibility for providential history and achieved the realm of His liberation, King Garden, Kona, Hawaii

“From today, my education begins, and the main theme of this seminar, which is based on absolute sexual morality, is the portion of responsibility. We must go beyond the blood lineage which was disgraced by the fall. Absolute sexual morality is the only way to go beyond that. …You must be the blood relatives of True Parents. It is a relation by blood. This is neither conceptual nor conscious. It is substantial. Only by having a blood relationship you can become fully connected to True Parents. …Do not make unnecessary words, but work according to what I taught. There is only one King.

…”While speaking, Father also talked about Hyo Jin Nim, who passed away on March 17 this year. Father said he lived a most difficult and miserable life in this world but he was splendid. In order for him to liquidate his lack of duty to his parents, he made more than 10,000 songs. In his lyrics, he meant True Father by the words “My Beloved,” to whom he absolutely loved and was united with. He was the elder son whose three generation can be kings.”

“I need to put everything in order by Jan. 13, 2013. I cannot do things continuously. We must harvest the fruit. I have a plan of using the official residence in Las Vegas for an education program.”

2009, Jan 15 and Jan 31: “Coronation for the Realm of Liberation for God, the King of Kings January 15, 2009,” in Korea (Cheongpyeong) and then New York City (Manhattan Center).

This event was held on January 15, 2009 (Formation Stage), January 31, 2009 (Growth Stage) in Korea and also January 31, 2009 in New York (Completion Stage).

“In the period since April, my wife and I commemorated the fiftieth observance of our Holy Wedding. In 1960, students on the Korean Peninsula were crying out in resistance to the dictatorship of Korean President Syngman Rhee. On the sixteenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar in that year, my wife and I received Heaven’s seal and embarked on the arduous course of the providence of restoration that the True Parents, True Teachers and True King and Queen of humankind have to take.

“Today is the day God has been waiting and yearning for, ever since He created the universe …the day He could ascend to His throne as the King of kings, embrace His lost children and the creation again, and live in joy in the sacred reign of the peace kingdom for all eternity.

“I am deeply sorry before Heaven. I have reached the ninetieth year of my life, yet I have been unable to fully restore the 6.5 billion people of this world to God.”

Father then outlined “the heavenly law”:

“On this solemn occasion, I will proclaim to all heaven and earth an outline of heavenly law, by which humankind and all things of creation will regain their rightful positions and be governed.

“God is working with His authority as the King of Kings through His representatives, the earthly True Parents, to establish heavenly law and restore the world. It is time to accelerate this true-love revolution. Therefore, on this solemn occasion, I will proclaim to all heaven and earth an outline of heavenly law, by which humankind and all things of creation will regain their rightful positions and be governed. “First, …it will be a time when the King of Kings rules the spiritual and physical worlds with His rightful authority. It will be the era of the providence during which the earth returns to its original state, with the realm of the Pacific Rim serving as a central axis. …”Second, we must accomplish a revolution in educating all people on the value of absolute sexual ethics, with God as their vertical, absolute axis. …That is the path to achieving God’s ideal of true families. From now on, sexual purity, purity of lineage and purity of love will be the educational philosophy of the human race. …”Third, the peace king representatives (boon-bong-wangs) and the Parent UN will be placed at the forefront of the efforts to completely eliminate the walls and barriers that traverse the earth in multiple layers and to reinstate harmony and peace between political parties, religions, races, cultures and nations. The existing UN (in the position of the Cain- type UN) and the Abel-type UN should become one and reach a higher dimension, becoming the Parent UN. …This will lead to the realization of a world governed by our conscience and natural reason with no need for the election of leaders. …”Fourth, the cross-cultural, international blessing marriage is the optimum method of establishing true families that will purify the lineage of the fallen human race and build the peace kingdom. In the end, reconciliation and peace will come about through lineage. … An ideal, heavenly kingdom based on the ideal of one family under God will come about. As we melt our guns and cannons to make plowshares, a world of peace will open up before us. …”Fifth, …all people have the duty to preserve and love the natural world. I am saying that you should develop your human nature as it was originally meant to be, such that you experience resonance even with a cluster of wild flowers as if you were sharing a heartfelt conversation with them. That will be the shortcut to restoring humankind to God. “You received an invitation to attend the coronation of the True Parent, the King of Kings on the horizontal level, who will govern all of creation as the physical representative of God, the King of Kings on the vertical level.” (https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/ SunMyungMoon09/SunMyungMoon-090115a.htm, and in PHG pp. 1599 ff.) 2005, Feb 14:

“On the foundation of overcoming that final level of struggle, in the year 2001 I was able to declare the era of Cheon Il Guk, the time of true love under the sovereignty of Abel, and to offer God His kingship.

“On that victorious foundation, in Jerusalem in 2003 I offered Jesus his coronation as the King of Peace of the First Israel. In 2004, crowning ceremonies were held in America, the Second Israel, in Korea, the Third Israel, and finally on the global level. Thus I was elevated as the King of Peace transcending religions and nations, in the capacity of the True Parent of humankind.

…“It is our destiny to live in attendance to the True Parents as our eternal Abel. They are the vertical axis, coming as the incarnation of the incorporeal God. The True Parents are the Savior of humankind, the Messiah, and the Second Coming of the Lord. They are the King and Queen of Peace in the Kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven.” (https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon05/ SM050214b.htm)

April 19, 2009 Celebration of True Parents’ golden wedding anniversary on the 50th year after their Holy Wedding and Rally for the Secure Settlement of Peace between Cain and 27 of 88

Abel at the Cosmic Level for the Parents of Heaven and Earth, Cheon Jeong Gung, Cheongpyeong [PHG 10-15] (Note: this was the 50th year by Korean counting; it was celebrated again on April 29 of the next year, the fiftieth year by western counting.)

”There is profound providential significance in True Parents’ coronation and golden wedding anniversary. The new era is beginning in which the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven is substantially spreading out before your very eyes, and when there is no longer the need to distinguish between the True Parents who work as the embodiment of God and the incorporeal God Himself.” (2009.6.1, Kachi p. 134)

June 1 Celebration of the publication of True Father’s autobiography, As a Peace-Loving Global Citizen, COEX Convention Center, Seoul [PHG 10-15]

The book was compiled from his published speeches with his guidance, published in Korean and translated into many languages. Members everywhere bought copies and distributed them freely on the street and door-to-door. I went to Las Vegas and spent several days giving away 430 copies (I think) in front of a busy convenience store.

July 7, 2009 True Father’s speech “Owner of Peace and Owner of Lineage,” East Garden, Irvington, NY [PHG 10-17] It was delivered to a group of second generation and addresses their responsibility to lead their parents doing hoondokhae, and the centrality of the eight textbooks. Father pointed them in particular to True Families—Gateway to Heaven.

“Raise your hand if you are a second-generation blessed child. You took part in the Blessing through your father and mother. You represent the flesh and blood of your parents coming together in one boiling concave vessel of love. Neither your mother nor your father is in such a position. You are part of the tradition that has inherited God’s lineage.

“You must first come to clearly understand the contents of True Families: Gateway to Heaven and become one with True Father and True Mother. Because you received God’s lineage at the same time as your parents, and your life began on the same level as your parents, it is possible for you to rise up and take the parental role in your family. Up until now you have been in the servant’s position. With this book you can reach the owner’s position. You must be willing to take responsibility to embrace and educate the families of this world, even if your mothers and fathers are unable to. As owners of the True Families: Gateway to Heaven, you will be able to do so.

“Children who are educated with these teachings will unite all things that have been separated by mothers and fathers, and by the democratic world and the communist world. The second-generation realm of liberation is arriving. Because this teaching liberates all people, carrying this book when you go out to educate people will surely create people of the kingdom of heaven. This will make these teachings into the teachings of the heavenly kingdom.

“With these textbooks, you will be able to re-bless your parents if they have lost their Blessing. Therefore, you must become hoondokhae ancestors. The second- generation must become family hoondokhae leaders. If they do not, then no one will.

“You need to attend True Parents as if True Parents were God. We can now take down all the banners of religion and nation.

“God’s seed never died. It survived, buried in the bones of God’s chest. It is being planted again on the earth through your sons and daughters who, after they reach seventeen years of age, are coming together in true marriages. Once the heat of their passion rises to forty, forty-three, even fifty-three degrees Celsius, no viruses or bacteria can survive to infect their offspring. Parents need to do everything

possible to prepare their children for that day. They need to sell even their property and land, if necessary, in order to provide them with these spiritual textbooks. It may take ten or twenty years for their children to master the textbooks at each stage and go through all the stages, from the kindergarten level to the doctoral level. Up until their children have completed their education, the parents need to continue to provide them with the textbooks.

“You need to become free and liberated people who will give up your life if God asks it of you, who will live in His service and go wherever God asks you to go. You need to be ready to sell everything and relocate anywhere. Are you members of God’s family, God’s princes and princesses? Have you inherited God’s liberation? Are you going with Him to the Heavenly Kingdom, to God’s original homeland? Then you must follow this law. The Heavenly Kingdom can begin for the first time only when people start upholding this law, for it is the eternal constitution of the Heavenly Kingdom. Buy a copy of this book, True Families: Gateway to Heaven, today, and keep it in your coat pocket.

“We are living in an age when we cannot look at things with humanistic eyes. If we look with the eyes of God’s providence, we see that we are living in the most important and serious time in all of human history. It is the greatest transition point humankind has ever faced, a watershed moment. To meet this age, I will introduce several associations. The first will be an association linking the earthly world and the spiritual world centering on God. The second will be an association to link God and human beings in love. The third will be the Association of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, or the Association of Cheon Il Guk.” (PHG, pp. 1612 ff.)

Coronation of True Parents for the Settlement of the Abel UN, and a Memorial Celebration of Ascension and Unity honoring leaders who left behind a legacy of peace, at the Congratulatory Luncheon on the Golden Anniversary of their Holy Wedding, Aria Hotel, Las Vegas, NV https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon10/ SunMyungMoon-100509b.htm

“Ladies and gentlemen, two months ago I celebrated my ninetieth birthday and took my first steps toward the hundredth year of my life. This is a very busy time in God’s providence. I have been blessed with a long life, beyond the average human lifespan. On the occasion of our fiftieth wedding anniversary, we are holding this banquet with people from all over the world.

“We have fourteen children; five have graduated from Harvard University. Among our forty plus grandchildren, several of them are already studying there. Moreover, a great number of good men and women from 194 nations have come to recognize and follow us as the king of kings and the True Parents.

Throughout our lives, we have established many international organizations and institutions to promote world peace. We have invested unreservedly in many fields including inter-religious cooperation, projects to benefit society, intercultural activities, sports, education and the media, and we have successfully led these initiatives with the aim of promoting peace and bringing salvation to humanity. After working to succeed in all these things, people would probably commend us, saying that we deserve to look back at our lives and pleasantly celebrate our birthdays with the good wishes of all people. They would probably encourage me to forget about everything and sit back and enjoy the successes achieved during the past ninety years!

However, my wife and I cannot look at the lives we have led in such a worldly way. We have had to complete the mission of the actual True Parents, given to us by God, who is Himself the vertical true parent of all humankind. Now, with three years remaining in this mission to make God’s kingdom, Cheon Il Guk, a reality, we are 29 of 88

leading each day of our lives with more seriousness than ever before. Throughout my life, I have offered myself for the liberation of God, the one and only True Parent of Heaven and Earth, to restore to Him His rightful position as parent, to save all of human beings who suffer in the realm of death, and to return them to God’s bosom. For this purpose I have persevered and triumphed, alone, over countless tribulations while leading the people of the world, who are like lost and unaware orphans searching for their parents, toward the goal of global salvation. Due to the Fall, brought about by our first ancestors, people are born into the false lineage. Everyone without exception wanders in darkness even now, unable to break free of Satan’s bondage. Under such circumstances, how could my wife and I be anything less than completely serious in our lives as we show the 6.5 billion people of the world the way along the path toward the building of God’s kingdom on earth?

Three Stages of Re-creation

Ladies and gentlemen, God created human beings as his children. As the original absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal being, God created people by breathing His love into them to endow them with a soul. If not for the Fall, we would have been able to perfect ourselves as God is perfect, and attain eternal life. But unfortunately, human beings are living as descendants of the Fall. In order to live a perfect life, all people without exception must receive life through the Blessing from True Parents in the three stages of rebirth, resurrection and eternal life. Rebirth, in this context, refers to an individual attaining new life. Resurrection is when a family attains new life, and eternal life refers to all of humankind attaining perfection and living forever in God’s homeland after establishing the kingdom of heaven on earth and in the spirit world by attending True Parents, who have attained the position of the king of kings.

We can easily see that each person’s life goes through three stages. Everyone is conceived through the grace of God and the love of his or her parents. The first stage of life is the long (yet short) nine months spent in the mother’s womb. No one is exempt from this! Whether we are conscious of it or not at the time, all of us without exception spend nine months in our mother’s womb. Even though a woman’s womb is smaller than some rice cookers, from the perspective of a fetus, it is larger than the entire universe.

What about our birth into the second stage of our lives, which occurs on earth? How could we find words adequate to describe the struggle of a newborn baby as it is faced with a completely unfamiliar, new world? The first cry of a newborn as it experiences the large and wide world that it finds upon coming out of the womb is a blessing and celebration of a new time and space that promises a one-hundred- year future.

Today we are all blessed to be living in the second stage of our lives. Although a hundred years is much longer than the nine months we spend in the womb, please do not forget that there is still a course we must follow to a higher end. Although we have all forgotten the standard of consciousness that we possessed in our mother’s womb, and we are now enjoying our lives fully in this big, wide world, this is merely preparation for the final stage of our lives, which is eternal life.

That third stage occurs in the world of eternal life, which we can enter by reaching perfection — this is the spirit world. It is a world that cannot be imagined by people descended from the Fall. It is a world in which we transcend time and space. Just as the baby in a mother’s womb cannot imagine life on earth, we, as people living and breathing air in this earthly world, cannot easily understand the spirit world, where we will be reborn in our spiritual bodies, living and breathing true love. As people face death, they may shake in fear, and feel terrified if they do not understand the true meaning of death. Although human history has continued for more than six thousand years, no one has clearly taught the truth regarding death. 30 of 88

Now, in the last days of history, I have been able to reveal this truth, this heavenly secret, as the True Parent of humankind.

Ladies and gentlemen, the word “death” is sacred. It is not a synonym for “sadness and suffering.” Therefore, I have created the term Seunghwa [ascension] to explain the true significance of “death.” The moment we enter the spirit world is the time that we enter a world of joy and victory with the fruits born of our lives on earth. It is a time for those of us remaining on earth to send off the departed with joy. It should be a time for great celebration. We should be shedding tears of joy instead of tears of sadness. That is the significance of the sacred and noble Seunghwa Ceremony. It is the first step toward enjoying eternal life in God’s embrace. The moment of death should be a time of greater excitement than that of a newlywed bride going to her groom’s home for the first time.

In order to open the door for all people to experience this kind of precious eternal life, I held a Seunghwa Ceremony at the United Nations headquarters in New York on March 18 in honor of world leaders who had recently passed into the next world.

…There is also one more leader, a woman of goodness, upon whom I would like to bestow the Seunghwa blessing. She is Dr. Reiko Kawasaki, a 17th-generation descendant of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the last shogun in Japanese history, who united the Japanese archipelago in the 17th century. Let us all send Dr. Kawasaki to the spirit world with our blessing on her transition. She was a medical doctor from Las Vegas who recently passed away after living a life of continuous service to others. Through her benign influence from the spiritual world, she will play a major role in Korea, Japan and the US, and also in resolving various problems in spheres such as politics and economics for the realization of world peace. Thus, we have included her in the list of those who will receive this sacred Seunghwa blessing. Distinguished leaders, although the lives of the people whose names I mentioned were altruistic and philanthropic, none of them can be guaranteed entry into the world of eternal life without receiving the marriage blessing and the Seunghwa blessing of the True Parent [Rev. Moon] in this world today, in which the parent- child relationship between God and humankind was severed due to the Fall of the first ancestors. Please take this point seriously.

This era, when God has introduced the heavenly calendar, is a serious one. It is now the time in which all 6.5 billion of the world’s people must understand my teachings, which I bequeath as the True Parent who is responsible to give eternal life to all of humankind. Now is a time that you can share the good news of the coming of the True Parents throughout the entire world. The time has come to honor and inherit the tradition and spirit of the Korean people, from which the True Parents emerged, establish the heavenly tradition, and bring about world peace by uniting all 6.5 billion people of the world with the United Nations. With the start of the heavenly calendar, please do not forget that the Seunghwa Ceremony is a sacred rite in which anyone can inherit the worldview of a holy citizen of the kingdom of heaven and celebrate God’s liberation and all humankind’s liberation. In this way, the ideal of a family based on true love can be completed, and God and all people, the heavenly spirit world and the earthly physical world, can be completely united to usher in a reign of peace over the world. Please take this time to express your gratitude to God and True Parents for giving the keys of the Blessing Ceremony and Seunghwa Ceremony to all the worlds’ nations, allowing for the establishment of the traditions of God’s kingdom, Cheon Il Guk, through True Parents.

Please join me in giving a round of applause to our Heavenly Father for His benevolence, through which we can receive the grace of precious life without Him asking for anything in return.

One Family under God 31 of 88

Ladies and gentlemen, what is the path that humankind should take today? Even now tens of millions of innocent lives are being lost each year to war, disease, starvation and natural disasters that arise in all parts of the world. In every field you observe, from the individual to the collective level — whether religion, politics, education, culture or ideology — people are deeply mired in the swamp of self- centered egoism, raising walls around themselves. We now live in a world brought to ruin, where genuine communication has broken down.

Ultimately, the problems afflicting humanity can only be resolved through the worldview of One Family under God, in other words, the ideology based on true love, which my wife and I have learned from Heaven and have championed and taught throughout our lives. This is the only way for humankind to find the path toward peace and happiness.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are living in a historic time of great transition. It is a time for a great revolution to change history, to unite the spiritual and physical worlds and to create the ideal kingdom of heaven that God has longed for since the beginning of time.

We can no longer postpone or prolong the fulfillment of His wish. I have already proclaimed that January 13, 2013 will be “Foundation Day.” That day will be the actual beginning of Cheon Il Guk. That day will be the origin. Yet, less than three years remain until then.

Therefore, it is time for all people to be humbly obedient to Heaven’s decree. An unavoidable time is upon us today when we must invest ourselves completely with a life or death commitment for the remaining three years under the guidance of the True Parents who carry out the providence on earth as the substantial representatives of God, the king of kings. All the good spirits in the spirit world are mobilized and are already moving forward, a step ahead of you.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any idea how much pain God suffered the moment our first ancestors, into whom God had invested His complete and unreserved devotion since time immemorial, fell and disappeared into darkness, becoming part of Satan’s lineage? Are you even remotely aware that our Heavenly Father — who endured tens of thousands of years of excruciating heartache so great that His bones shed tears and His flesh quivered — had to go through the long, dark tunnel of indemnifying the human Fall in order to save His lost children? How many have spent days and nights in tears, yearning to comfort our Father in Heaven?

The Mission of the Korean People

Ladies and gentlemen, God raised and prepared the Korean people over a period of thousands of years. All people of the Christian faith recognize that God sent His true son Jesus Christ to earth two thousand years ago to save humankind. However, Jesus suffered a miserable fate.

The leaders of Judaism and the people of Israel were supposed to receive Jesus as the Messiah and follow him with absolute faith and absolute obedience. They should never have allowed Jesus’ crucifixion to take place. He suddenly left this world, leaving behind the words, “It is finished.” Yet these words apply to salvation in the spiritual reality only. After two thousand years of preparation, his Second Coming, on the Korean Peninsula, has finally borne the fruits of his labor.

From the past, the Korean people have worshiped God as the highest and primal ancestor of their forefathers. They called that single being and progenitor of all people the “One” — in other words, God. They served Him as the lord who created 32 of 88

night and day. As all numbers begin from one, all things begin from the one God. With the sense that He is their original ancestor, the Korean people have served God and thus the spirit of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally shared values is alive in the soul and tradition of the race. They have maintained themselves over five thousand years of history, yet not once have they invaded or plundered another nation or people. The spirit of benefiting all mankind still flows in the veins of the Korean people.

The spirit of filial piety, fidelity, and loyalty, which are the fundamental virtues of human life, are still alive and breathing in Korean history. These values can be found in the men and women of Korea and reflect the pride and spirit of the Korean people.

I have inherited such traditional values as the true filial piety exemplified in the folk tale Shimcheong, about a devoted daughter who offered her life so that her blind father could see; the profound love and fidelity displayed by Choonhyang, who overcame the fear of death in order to keep the promise she had made to her husband; and the unbreakable loyalty exhibited by Admiral Yi Soon-shin, who gave his life to save his nation and people despite being abandoned by his king and other leaders. These lofty Korean values and traditions are not just matters of historical chance. Based on these values, Heaven has prepared this people; this was all part of the providence of creating a foundation to send the Messiah. On the foundation of such preparation, and riding on the energy of this peninsula, I finally came, having received Heaven’s seal as the True Parent of humankind and the king of kings.

The Path Humankind Should Take

Distinguished Guests, your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen:

The path that humanity must now take is clear. What would give you cause to hesitate in the face of the D-day that Heaven has revealed through us, the True Parents? Heaven’s blessings will be with you on your ambitious course.

If you view the flow of history through eyes that focus on God’s providence, you can see that the changes of the times can be broadly classified into three stages. First is the “era of worldly matters,” in other words, a time when materialism took precedence. Next came the “era of human affairs,” a humanistic era when peoples’ knowledge and emotions took precedence in and dominated the world.

However, these eras were transitional. They were courses of preparation necessary in order to enter the era in which people could rid themselves of their fallen nature, return to their original selves and live as one united family where they attend God as their father.

The “era of heavenly affairs” is the final stage, in which human beings should follow the path of living for the sake of others. They should do this through establishing an absolute standard on the foundation of purifying themselves, both inside and out, through the holy Blessing Ceremony. This is the time of opening up the era of God’s kingdom, Cheon Il Guk, a time in which we can return to the heart of the one true God. Please continually engrave this point on your hearts.

Once the actual era of Cheon Il Guk begins, the spiritual and earthly worlds will be connected and brought into oneness, and all things will be governed under the Union of the Spiritual and Physical Worlds, which will be established on earth for the first time. Moreover, the providence will be carried out according to the heavenly law and the heavenly way. Elections conducted in a purely secular fashion will disappear from the face of the earth. All people will become one family through cross-cultural marriage and the World Peace Marriage Blessing, and we will enjoy tranquility and happiness in the sacred reign of peace. Let me say that only three 33 of 88

years remain until that day.

As part of preparing for that time, a few days ago, on February 14, I proclaimed to all of heaven and earth the start of the new heavenly calendar. The Gregorian calendar and lunar calendar shall now stand in the positions of Cain and Abel and serve the role of supporting the heavenly calendar, by which we will record and indicate the progress of God’s providence.

You must all now engrave my teachings onto your bones and lead a life of practicing them. We have no choice. If we do not prepare now, we will surely be left behind. We should learn from the courage and fortitude of the white-necked cranes that fly across the Himalayas — which are more than seven thousand meters high — in preparation for winter.

My Final Words for Humankind

I already have prepared the last words I will give to humankind. These have been prepared based on my triumphs over six or seven life-or-death situations, including six periods of unjust imprisonment. I am leaving behind eight sets of textbooks and teaching materials for humankind to use for all eternity. (These are published in almost a thousand volumes.)

They are The Sermons of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Exposition of the Divine Principle, Cheon Seong Gyeong, The Family Pledge, Pyeonghwa Shingyeong [Messages of Peace], True Families — Gateway to Heaven, Owner of Peace and Owner of Lineage and World Scripture. These are textbooks you will have to read and study even after you go to the spirit world. They are not just teachings that come from the mind of one person; they are textbooks and teaching materials that teach the heavenly way that God has granted to His suffering children for their salvation.

You should now set up the tradition of Hoon Dok Hae in your families using the books I have mentioned — that is, the tradition where three generations of a family start each day by reading Heaven’s word, and lead a life of practicing what they read, with a new heart. Let’s create a world where people in the spirit world and the earthly world can both attend True Parents at the same time, and read the word on the heavenly path together.

Once this happens, no matter how hard Satan may try to worm his way in to infest your lineage, once he encounters the Hoon Dok Hae tradition he will find no room to move. If a family is aligned with God as at high noon, where no shadow is cast, and still does not receive God’s blessings, who then could be deserving of them? When such heavenly families fill the earth, the world will automatically become the heavenly kingdom on earth and in the eternal spirit world, fulfilling the vision of one family under God.

Ladies and gentlemen, last year, my memoirs, As a Peace-Loving Global Citizen, an honest, candid account of my life, were published. Through this book I have clearly shown where you can find God’s will for humankind and the path that we, as God’s children, should follow. My life has been a typical model of the saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again.” I have as much faith in this book as in the Hoon Dok textbooks and teaching materials I have mentioned. For this reason, I recommend it to you, believing that it will show you how to lead your lives according to true principles. It does not subtract or add anything to the ninety years of my life, which I have led under Heaven’s decree. I pray you will carefully read this articulation of true love and find great inspiration.

I have already mentioned that a life of vertical “noon-time” alignment casts no shadow. If we can all shine as we live such glowing lives, there will be no chance for the shadow of sin to be cast. Those who receive the light will be indebted to the 34 of 88

light. I pray that we can now wipe away the tears of people in misery and poverty, and lead an illuminated life of eternal true love that dissipates all darkness.

Once again, I offer you my heartfelt thanks for gracing this occasion with your presence and celebrating this providential event. I pray that you will live in good health and in the abundance of God’s love. It is my hope that we can offer greater glory and honor to God the next time we meet.

I pray that the blessings of God, the king of kings, will be upon you, your family and your nation.

Thank you very much.

Proclamation of True Parents’ Ultimate Oneness and Perfection and of the Conclusion and Consummation of their Mission True Father explained about this June 26 (solar calendar, which was May 15 Heavenly calendar) event at Cheong Hae Garden, Las Vegas, on July 1, solar calendar.

“May 15, 2010 by the lunar calendar was an important date. On that day Mother and I together made a final declaration. At that time, Mother and I came to an agreement on matters about Korea and other matters pertaining to policies. That was when Mother promised that she would unite with me regardless of what was happening. Based on her promise, we made our declaration.

“Amid the final battle with the fallen world, Mother and I made a solemn promise centering on God; that event took place at 3:25 a.m. on May 15, 2010, by the lunar calendar.

“The time of that proclamation is significant: three represents the three ages of the Old Testament, New Testament and Completed Testament. In particular, it signifies that this is the third age, the Completed Testament Age, which must never fail. Thus we stated, ‘As we welcome the age for the completion, conclusion and closure of the Old, New and Completed Testaments, we offer and declare the age in which the ultimate realm of oneness between True Father and True Mother is perfected and consummated, and the age in which God is all-immanent, all- transcendent, all-powerful and all-capable.’” (CBG 1-2-4 31, 2010.07.01)

On another occasion, the date for which is not recorded in Second CSG, True Father connected this event to one that took place 7 days earlier:

“Ladies and gentlemen, last year in Las Vegas, the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind made a special proclamation centered on God on two separate days. One part was given at 2:20 AM on the 8th day of the 5th month of the Heavenly Calendar (June 19 solar) and the other at 3:25 AM, on the 15th day of the 5th month of the Heavenly Calendar (June 26 solar).

“The number 3 from 3:25 AM represents the saying, ‘third time’s the charm’ applied to three eras. It also symbolizes the Old, New and Completed Testament ages. Twenty-five minutes, the number 25, is a fourth of one hundred. The True Parents have achieved ultimate unity and offered and proclaimed the era of God’s full transcendence, full immanence, full authority and omnipotence upon the standard of perfection, completion and conclusion.” (2nd CSG p. 1445-6, 13-4-3-1)

July 16, 2010: True Father to Rev Kamiyama, video’d on a boat (in Kachi, p. 135)

“Hyun-Jin left a long time ago; ten years ago.”

“Hyun-Jin does not see things in the same manner I see. He avoids me. He should align himself with me.

“Why are you asking things of Hyun-Jin, and not asking me?

“Hyun-Jin takes the same position as mine. Other True Children respect me.”

July 19, 2010 “Everyday True Mother attends Hoon Dok Hae with Father. Father and Mother’s relationship is very deep. This is the original way of God’s tradition.” “Everything That I’m Telling You Is A Proclamation,” East Garden, NY USA https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/ SunMyungMoon10/SunMyungMoon-100719.htm

July 24, 2010 Cosmic Assembly in the United States for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind Who, as God’s Embodiment, Proclaim the Word, Manhattan Center, New York, NY (again delivered on November 22 in Washington, DC and New York, NY (Manhattan Center—I believe it was broadcast remotely in DC) and on November 27 in “Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam” (at Caesar’s Palace)

“True Parents have already prepared the last words I will give to humankind. These have been prepared based on my triumphs over six or seven life-or-death situations, including six periods of unjust imprisonment. I am leaving behind eight textbooks and teaching materials for humankind to use for all eternity. Altogether, these are published in almost a thousand volumes. They are The Sermons of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Exposition of the Divine Principle, Cheon Seong Gyeong [Heavenly Scripture], The Family Pledge, Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong [Messages of Peace], True Families—Gateway to Heaven, Owner of Peace, Owner of Lineage and World Scripture.

INSTRUCTOR’S NOTE: The six imprisonments, to my knowledge, are by the Japanese police in Seoul (while Father was an electrical engineer: “While working in the underground independence movement, in the 1940s, against Japan’s forced annexation of Korea, my husband was incarcerated and tortured to the brink of death.” Anthology, vol. 3, p. 336)…

According to Dr Chung Sik Yong:

Kyunggi-do prison (5 months) Jungjoo Kwaksan police (7 days) Daedong prison (100 days) Heungnam Labor Camp (2y 8m) Seodaemun prison (3m) Danbury Correctional Facility (13m)

The seventh among the “six or seven,” to my awareness, refers to the helicopter accident.

“These are textbooks you will have to read and study even after you go to the spirit world. They are not just teachings that come from the mind of one person; they are textbooks and teaching materials that teach the heavenly way that God has granted to His suffering children for their salvation. You should now set up the hoondokhae study tradition in your families using the books I have mentioned. That is the tradition where three generations of a family start each day by reading Heaven’s word, and lead a life of practicing what they read, with a new heart. Let’s create a world where people in the spirit world and the earthly world can both attend True Parents at the same time, and read the word on the heavenly path together. …

“Distinguished guests, at this serious and important time, a revolutionary and cosmic change must now take place in your lives. Let us summarize the message Heaven has given to us today in light of this.

“First, all blessed families should first attend God at the center of their families and every day carry out hoondok education, which can completely unite parents and children. In other words, you should thoroughly teach the Divine Principle, the

textbooks and teaching materials True Parents have bequeathed, True Father’s autobiography, and absolute marital fidelity taught through the Original Divine Principle.

“Second, Heaven has permitted the grace of the authority of seunghwa for rebirth and resurrection to be bestowed on the family unit. Here, a requisite condition is the complete unity between parents and children. In other words, you must establish the standard for absolute parents and absolute children, and establish an absolute family.

“Third, humankind has moved out of the authority of the era of restoration through indemnity, thanks to the grace of True Parents who have suffered hardships through which they sweat blood. Therefore, do not forget the fact that during True Parents’ lifetimes we all have the responsibility to liberate families, tribes, peoples, nations and the world from the authority of hell. Now that the era of restoration through indemnity has ended, what kind of era is dawning? The reign of tranquility and prosperity in the victorious authority centered on God and True Parents shall be eternal.

“Fourth, we are now entering the era of the authority of God’s direct dominion. Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that less than three years remain until the D-day proclaimed by Heaven. I beg that you inscribe in your hearts the fact that we have entered the era of the authority of the cosmic Sabbath in which your family members in the spirit world shall return to the earth to receive the Original Divine Principle education, and where eight generations will live together in a single family. Aju!” (PHG 1133-34)

2011 March 4 Mother’s Course Hak Ja Han Cheon Hwa Gung, Las Vegas http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/HakJaHanMoon/HakJaHan-110304.htm

Two thousand years of Christian history came to be centered on Korea through the miracle of the Second Coming, and history, which God had governed since long ago, came to Korea in the form of a new Christian culture, under God’s direct dominion, following Korea’s liberation. This culture blossomed in all its splendor, especially in North Korea, where God looked for the internal Adam and Eve. He first established Adam, and then through Christianity He tried to find the internal Eve.

In particular, God established the New Jesus Church. Until then, all Christian cultural realms had known about the Second Coming, but they all believed that the Lord would come on the clouds. At the time, however, God was working in Korea to prepare for the Lord, who was destined to come to earth in a physical body. Meanwhile, internally, the work of finding the Eve was unfolding as a part of Heaven’s truly remarkable

providence of restoration through Seong-do Kim and his people and through Ho- bin Heo’s Inside-the-Belly Church. I was born at 4:30 am on the sixth day of the first lunar calendar month in 1943. My father and mother were brought together under Rev. Ho-Bin Lee, who was newly appointed to lead the church. At the time, my parents were deemed a good man and a good woman and it was said that a great blessing from God would be given through them. During that time, my maternal grandmother, Grandmother Cho, and my mother, Mrs. Hong, concerned themselves only with preparing themselves to receive the coming Lord. Whenever an opportunity to prepare seemed to present itself to them, they went out of their way to find it, and they offered devotions and did their very best. …My grandmother and mother thought, believed, that God’s will and the providence would all be fulfilled centering on Pyongyang. I had an uncle on my mother’s side that had studied pharmacology at Waseda University. After Korea’s liberation, he did not return to Pyongyang but instead went to South Korea where he joined the army. My grandmother had only one son, and when she heard this news about him, she wanted to find out why he had settled in South Korea. Thus, Grandmother Cho, my mother and I went to South Korea. My grandfather remained in North Korea. He also firmly believed that Eden would be established in Pyongyang and he said he would remain there. So we left him there and went to South Korea. Around that time, I was six years old, and I remember one incident. Ho-bin Heo had been sent to prison around that time. You may have heard about her in Father’s speeches; she refused to see Father in prison and told him to leave. At the time, Ho-bin Heo was in prison, and her mother offered Jeong Seong and received revelations instead of her. One day, she called me and took me to a special place. I vaguely remember that it was on the second floor and not the first floor. She took me there alone, and with her hand on my head, she pronounced a benediction. I can’t remember clearly what the benediction was about; all I remember is that she said I was a special child and a child loved by God. Soon after, I went to South Korea with my mother, and two years later, the Korean War broke out. I can’t express in words everything I have passed through until now but I can feel that I was raised, nurtured and guided by a great power that is not a part of me. In 1943, Korea was immersed in darkness. I recall now that my mother remembered seeing a vision in a dream, then, of all kinds of metal ware coming across the sea, across the Korea Strait, through the courtyard of the house, and into the room where I was born. Isn’t that strange? All those things poured endlessly into the room where I was lying. All kinds of metal ware had been gathered up and taken from Korea when Japan was supporting the war—sometimes even brass sacrificial vessels were also taken. I think God was giving her a revelation, that although I didn’t know it, I was destined to meet Father, and that, with us standing in the position of True Parents, everything would flow into Korea through Japan, which has the mission of the Eve nation. There are many anecdotes, but the story I remember most is about material blessing and that Satan came and said, “Your birth has brought about my downfall. Therefore, I must kill you.” He strangled me, but my mother, who had just given birth, used all her strength to stop him and saved me. At the time of the Korean War, many Koreans suffered a lot, but thanks to my uncle, I had relatively less trouble fleeing from the war. We stayed for quite a while in Daegu, and at the time, my grandmother and mother opened a small store. I was less than ten years old at the time, and I had been playing in front of the store when a

passing ascetic or perhaps a Buddhist priest asked my mother if I were her daughter. She answered yes, and he told her not to exchange me for ten sons and to raise me well because I was precious. He also told her that I was destined to marry at the age of seventeen, even though I was then less than ten years old and it was a time of war and everyone was suffering. He added that my husband would be much older than I. I don’t know if he said this because it was wartime, but in any case he also said that my husband would be a man of considerable means who would dominate the land, sea and air. Many more examples tell of how I was protected and how people testified about me wherever I went. I can’t relate them all; what I want to impress upon you is that, without my knowing about it, I was guided by God to be where I am now. I have always done my best, though from God’s viewpoint and True Father’s, I must have been inadequate in many ways. Recently, I heard that at a gathering of some of the thirty-six blessed couples someone asked what the Unification Church would have been like if Father had not married me. The wives all said that God had truly done well to bring me to him, and that they should express their thanks to me. When I heard this, I felt as if they knew that I had tried hard. At first, I didn’t understand anything, and I had forgotten what the passing monk had said, he who had foretold that I would marry at seventeen. However, it actually happened that I indeed married when I was seventeen. When that happened, I observed that the providence of restoration and biblical history are very complicated. So, I resolved to do the best I could, no matter how difficult it might be, to achieve what God desired, the ideal He envisaged at the Creation, and to simplify all complicated matters and arrive at simple solutions. Heaven blessed us with many children, and I did my best in giving birth to them all. From 1960 to 1975, especially in 1973, when Father began his work in America, we had many difficulties. Communists followed Father wherever he went and interfered with his work, and there were many threats and dangers along the way. My nerves were on edge all the time. I had to move constantly in cars, so over a five-year period I had many miscarriages. In 1975, Kwon-jin was born, and after that I gave birth to five more children. The truth is that it was very difficult for me. The doctor told me, “You should stay healthy for the children you have now. Why aren’t you concerned about yourself?” From my point of view, however, I couldn’t say I wanted to stop. I prayed to God, asking Him how many children He wanted me to have. I also asked a senior lady member, who was spiritually open, to offer special prayers to find out what I was supposed to do. She went up into the mountains for three days to pray especially for me. She returned and told me, “Mother! God says you should have thirteen children.” Then I had Young-jin; I tried to give birth by natural delivery, but the baby’s head was large and it seemed I might die during childbirth. Father was in Germany, and the doctor said that both mother and baby would be in danger if a decision was not made in thirty minutes. I had no choice but to have a caesarean section, and so Young-jin was born. Once you have a caesarean section, you can’t give birth by natural delivery again, because the part that is cut open loses elasticity. Therefore, I had to offer a special prayer to find out what God wanted me to do. Heaven confirmed that God was waiting for me to give Him thirteen children. After that, I had Hyung-jin, who was the youngest son, and two daughters after him. What’s interesting to note is that in the 1960s Yoon Cheong Jeong Shim was very supportive of us, and she also came to church diligently and offered prayers. One day I asked her, “How many children should I have?” She didn’t give me an answer about that, but she said that my last two children would be girls. To be frank, I thought that if I was going to bear more children that I would prefer to have sons rather than daughters,

but she said my last two would be girls. When that came about, I remembered her words. Hyung-jin is my seventh son, and including the last two daughters, I also have seven daughters. So I have given birth to fourteen children, an equal number of boys and girls [Father:] Mother, you have spoken well. Thank you.

Discussion of ocean development, including Lake Mead, and the “Negative N. C. Resin Mold boat called Cheon Jeong Ho.

“I consider these (Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Zion and Sedona), to be part of the Pacific Rim. …They [True Parents] are carrying out the earthly providence of God, the King of Peace, as His substantial body. …Heaven has now permitted the grace of the realm of Seunghwa, which confers rebirth and resurrection. It is bestowed on whole families in which the parents and children have achieved complete unity under God. …Heaven has already proclaimed that January 13, 2013, will be ‘Foundation Day.’ That day will be the actual beginning of God’s Kingdom of Cheon Il Guk.”

In this speech, Father again referred to Foundation Day as ”the actual beginning of God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk… the era of peace under God’s direct dominion.” [PHG 1132-33]

April 4, 2011 TRUE MOTHER’S POSITION

“The responsible person of the Unification church is not Hyung Jin nor Kook Jin. On the top of Hyung Jin there is Mother, and on the top of her, there is Father.” (“Mongolia is the Origin of Korean Ancestors,” April 4, 2011, Hoon Dok Hae, Cheon Jeong Gung)

April 24–July 18, 2011 Cosmic Assemblies for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind Who, as God’s Embodiment, Proclaim the Word.

Excerpts from Mother’s May 11 presentation (Anthology vol. 3, pp. 242 ff.):

What I am about to proclaim to you today at this “Cosmic Assembly for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind Who, as God’s Embodiment, Proclaim the Word” is part of the course of True Parents’ tour to proclaim the ultimate conclusion and fulfillment of all aspects of the providence of restoration during the lifetime of the True Parents.

I pray that you will all become the representatives and heirs of True Parents before the conclusion of the Cosmic Assemblies for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, Who, as God’s Embodiment, Proclaim the Word.

Throughout his life, my husband has offered himself for the liberation of God, the one and only True Parent of Heaven and Earth, to restore to Him His rightful position as Parent, to save all human beings who suffer in the realm of death, and to return them to God’s bosom.

All people without exception must receive new life through the marriage Blessing from True Parents and pass through the three stages of rebirth, resurrection and eternal life. Rebirth, in this context, refers to an individual attaining new life. Resurrection is when a family and nation attain new life, and eternal life refers to all

of humankind attaining perfection and living forever in God’s homeland after establishing the kingdom of heaven on earth and in the spirit world by attending True Parents, the king and queen of peace.

Your ancestors who are in the spirit world shall now return to earth at this time of the True Parents, who directly govern all life and all things as the substantial entity of God who exists without form. They will go through the three-stage blessings of rebirth, resurrection and eternal life and complete the Original Divine Principle education—the education on absolute marital fidelity—organized by True Parents. Only then can they take part in the original authority granted by the Seonghwa— ascension and liberation—and attain the qualifications to become citizens of Cheon Il Guk while on earth.

Just as the baby in his or her mother’s womb cannot imagine life on earth, we, as people living and breathing air in this earthly world, cannot easily understand the spirit world, where we will be reborn in our spiritual bodies, living and breathing true love.

Ladies and gentlemen, the word death is sacred. It is not a noun of sadness and suffering. True Parents have created the term Seonghwa [ascension] to explain the true significance of death. The moment we enter the spirit world should be a time that we enter a world of joy and victory with the fruits born of our lives on earth. It is a time for those of us remaining on earth to send off the departed with joy. It should be a time for great celebration. That is the way of the sacred and noble Seonghwa Ceremony, the first step the spirit of the departed takes toward enjoying eternal life in attendance to God, within His embrace. At the moment of death, our spirits should feel more excited and thrilled than a newly-wed bride feels when she goes to her groom’s home for the first time.

In order to open the door for all people to experience this kind of precious eternal life, my husband and I held a Seonghwa Ceremony at the United Nations headquarters in New York on March 18 last year in honor of world leaders who had recently passed into the next world.

However altruistic and philanthropic people’s lives may be, none of them can be guaranteed entry into the world of eternal life without receiving the marriage Blessing and the Seonghwa Blessing of the True Parents. This is because the parent-child relationship between God and humankind was severed due to the Fall of the first ancestors.

Now is a time that you can share the good news of the coming of the True Parents throughout the entire world.

Please do not forget that the Seonghwa Blessing Ceremony is a sacred rite through which anyone can inherit the worldview of a holy citizen of the kingdom of heaven and celebrate God’s liberation and all humankind’s liberation.

Once the substantial era of Cheon Il Guk begins, the spiritual and earthly worlds will be connected and brought into oneness, and all things will be governed under the Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World, which will be established on earth for the first time. Moreover, the providence will be carried out according to heavenly law and the heavenly way. Elections conducted in a purely secular fashion will disappear from the face of the earth.

You should now set up the hoondokhae study tradition in your families using the books I have mentioned. That is the tradition where three generations of a family start each day by reading Heaven’s Word, and lead a life of practicing what they read, with a new heart. Let’s create a world where people in the spirit world and the earthly world can both attend True Parents at the same time, and read the Word on the heavenly path together.

Once this happens, no matter how hard Satan may try to worm his way in to infest your lineage, once he encounters the hoondokhae tradition he will find no room to move. If a family is aligned with God as at high noon, where no shadow is cast and still does not receive God’s blessings, who then could ever be deserving of them?

His life has been a typical model of the saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, and try again.”

Ladies and gentlemen, in 2010 in Las Vegas, there was a special proclamation centered on God that was given by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind on two separate days—one part at 2:20 a.m. on the 8th day of the 5th month of the heavenly calendar (June 19) and the other at 3:25 AM, on the 15th day of the 5th month of the heavenly calendar (June 26). The number 3 from 3:25 AM represents the three eras from the saying “Success comes at the third attempt.” It also symbolizes the Old, New and Completed Testament ages. Twenty- five minutes, or the number 25, is a quarter of 100. The True Parents have achieved ultimate unity and offered and proclaimed the era of God’s full transcendence, full immanence, full authority and omnipotence upon the standard of perfection, completion and conclusion.

Heaven has permitted the grace of the authority of Seonghwa for rebirth and resurrection to be bestowed on the family unit. Here, a requisite condition is the complete unity between parents and children.

I beg that you inscribe in your hearts the fact that we have entered the era of the authority of the cosmic Sabbath in which your direct family members in the spirit world shall return to the earth to receive the Original Divine Principle education, and where eight generations will live together in a single family. Aju!

All the presidents and citizens who participated in the G20 meetings must unite to bring about the success of these rallies [rallies to proclaim this message] and perfect, complete, conclude and offer them according to True Parents’ heavenly decree. If any among these are unable to participate, True Parents will select others and bring them to perfect that work in their place. [Note well: God’s providence is that when those who are chosen fail, God selects others to fulfill the will.]

Recently, control of The Washington Times, which had been taken from my hands by people of a communist mindset, through trickery, has now been taken back. If this isn’t a miracle, I don’t know what is. Top officials from the Cain-type realm, from the black and white races, will unite to create a federation centering on The Washington Times board of directors in order to promote the truth of God’s Will for His homeland and hometown and to protect the nation of God’s sovereignty. [This refers to the return of the newspaper from the control of UCI, under Hyun Jin Nim, to the Family Federation, under True Parents.]

In this world, atheism and communism, which deny the existence of God, will be discarded, paving the way to building the world that God originally envisioned, where all people can freely communicate in harmony.

The historical conflict and strife experienced by the four great representative kings—that is to say, the God of Night, the God of Day, the King of Kings, and True Parent—and which arose because the first ancestors fell, has finally been completely resolved by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. A world where all people are equal and all nations become like brother nations to create one family under God is being created right before your eyes.

August 18. Dedication and launch of the Wonmo boat, Lake Mead, NV. True Mother delivered the speech on Father’s behalf, although Father was present.

“I offer you my heartfelt welcome and thanks for taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in this ceremony to launch the Won Mo Boat. Let us all thank God for making today’s launch ceremony possible. The ceremony in which we are taking part today and a similar ceremony held this past February in Yeosu, a beautiful port city in South Korea, are part of my effort to make Yeosu and the Colorado River region, especially the area around Hoover Dam, into the eastern and western hubs of the marine leisure industry. …

“My husband and I have been investing in the ocean industry and developing marine-related technology for more than 50 years. Our purpose has been to liberate humankind from suffering and death due to hunger. In the 1980s my husband built the Good-Go boats and laid a foundation for the ocean industry in more than thirty locations throughout the United States, including Kodiak, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico. In the 1990s, we invested in the ocean industry in South America, particularly in Brazil and Uruguay, thus creating a global marine network connecting 52 nations. On this foundation, in the new millennium we have been developing Yeosu, situated on the southern coast of Korea, and Hawaii, situated at the center of the Pacific Ocean, to become hubs of the ocean industry in the Pacific Rim Era.” (Anthology vol 3, p. 144-5)

September 22, 2011 172 American Clergy Workshop with True Parents in Korea (notes by Michael Lamson)

“Rev. Hwang shared before True Parents came: True Father started Hoon Dok Hae in Yeosu at 4:30 am and continued until 2:30 am the next day. At 6:30 Father went fishing. True Father never sleeps or lays down. When we go out with him on the boat he sits and meditates but often we lay down and sleep. …The last Hoon Dok Hae, 22 ½ hours was Father longest Hoon Dok Hae.

“True Parents called the pastors here to make a unity condition with Korea and to launch the beginning of a global family. This was much of the focus of Father’s 22½ hour Hoon Dok Hae.

“When Father heard that you were going to the DMZ today he wanted to share a message with you before you went. Father is concerned with opening a providential age at this time, a new stage, so please try to understand. Your visits out to the cities inspired the Unification Church members, Ambassadors for Peace and local political leaders. All of you have contributed to the Korea Peace movement through your visits. The clan representatives were also very moved. They expressed their regret that the time was too short to take you to meet many clan members. This providence of Clan Matching’s will continue for two more years. This is the beginning so you have opened the doors to a new peace movement.

We have talked for years about peace but now it is time to move beyond culture and religion and look at each other as brothers and sisters. This is how peace will come. Jesus, 2000 years ago had a community, a group of people to support him. History is Gods revelation. Providential events are eternal. As time passes everything else is buried.

Father comes and starts speaking:

“Let’s begin Hoon Dok Hae now. Don’t speak with the person next to you. This is your time to hear the word.”

Father asked who had their speech books with them and everyone waved their speech books. Father asked Rev. Hwang to read and to explain that the Original Divine Principle is now called the Original Substantial Divine Principle. Father continued to point out a few more changes in the speech that needed to be made. He gave Rev. Hwang his speech book and asked him to also read the notes Father had written so that the pastors could also make the changes in their books.

“My speech book and yours should be the same. You need to share your book with 12 churches and 12 tribes for the heavenly nation to come. You need to use the same book as mine, the same places underlined and the same places circled. The 172 pastors need to create 12 tribes under you using these materials. You need to educate your sons, daughters and grandchildren with these words. 172 coming from North, South, East and West, 43 from each represent 172 nations of the world. There are more. You need to bring these new tribes, clans, to be registered into the heavenly nation. You need to inherit this and understand this.

“We need to educate 13,000 people from each nation with the Original Substantial Divine Principle material. The Original Substantial Divine Principle is the teaching of the era after the coming of heaven, a time of the reign of peace. Until we live in the reign of peace we cannot shout hurrah for True Parents.

“Father continued explaining things to Rev. Hwang about the speech. Father asked Mother to bring him the paper that he had been folding during other talks and he starting folding it and explaining about how it folds. No matter how many times or ways you fold this it comes back to the same position, the same point.

“Father then took out his handkerchief and stated that all Blessed Central Families use one of these, referring to the 3 day ceremony. He then started folding the handkerchief talking about how to find the center point. With a triangle you can find the center by folding.

“The Divine Principle is very important as it will help us become human beings of God’s ideal. True Father worked really hard to reveal the Divine Principle. It is important to understand the Korean people and Korea. We have to be careful because humankind received the blood lineage of the archangel. We need to receive the Blessing and be grafted into Gods lineage. People that do not know who True Parents are cannot find their proper way in life. The whole world needs True Parents. Because of the fall we have become spiritually dull and are not able to see or feel True Parents in the correct way.

“There were 13 people on the helicopter when it crashed and everyone survived. This was a victory for God.

“We do not know what Heaven will look like but it must be built first on earth.”

“(Mother sent a message on paper reminding Father that the pastors have to go to the DMZ.)”

“In the Garden of Eden no one would send this kind of message to Father. He smiled and tore up the paper. Father said we need to be together for at least one more hour. God has no concept of time or space so if someone needs money I can give it to them 170 years later. If something is missing it is in the spirit world. Can you understand that?

“There are so many things that I say that you cannot understand. You need to take these words and share them with others. Should I speak with you more or should I let you go? I could not sleep last night because I knew that you were about to go. I am most afraid of my own words because what I say comes true. I finished my main work in 1972 but I have continued.

“We need to become unchanging sons and daughters who are in a harmonious relationship with Father.

Father told Rev. Hwang what pages to read. He asked where he finished in his last Hoon Dok Hae and told Rev. Hwang to read from the 30th volume pages 62 -71.”

“These are your last days with me here so these will words will be your words. Are

you willing to hear these 9 pages? Let’s read.

“I have loved you more than my relatives, more than my children. In the early years I never bought a gift for my relatives of children because I only focused on you. My mother would buy me gifts but I never bought her a gift. This was the course I had to take.

“Only the Unification Church can unite North and South Korea. On that foundation all of Asia can be united. If you can understand this then you can receive Father’s prayer and blessing.

“You might not be able to meet me again in this way. Please take these words and share them with others. Do you have Father’s textbooks in your home? My words will guide you. There will be more than 2,000 textbooks when this is done. The most precious things you can share with your children are my textbooks. You should buy or order the textbooks before you leave Korea. The most important books in the world are these textbooks. They will protect your children’s eternal lives.

“God does not need actors, He just needs one spouse. Jesus could not have or be a spouse. I am still restoring the position of the spouse.

“The textbooks will help you stay connected to True Parents and True Parents life style. There are no limits on how many children you can have in most of the world so you should have as many blessed children as possible.

“There are so many words in the textbooks but there is still so much that has not been recorded yet. You should learn from Father’s training. I have to make sure everyone is going the right way. I prepare so much to get the words right. The word needs to go into all nations.

“I will make a boat that can hop up in the air using the helium tanks. People don’t know everything I am doing.

“You can apply my teachings to everything in your lives. You are representing 172 nations and you should prepare the textbooks so you can teach your families and nations. In the future governments will purchase the textbooks for their nations. America should become a nation that prepares the textbooks for all children. This will make America a heavenly nation.

“The ancestors that have gone through Cheong Pyeong will be guiding and helping you. You as religious leaders should buy all the textbooks yourselves as a foundation for others to do it. I have recorded all the people that I have taught over all the years. Your position as husbands and wives will become clear in 2013. I will allow for special dispensations at that time. You should use all your resources for the sake of others and for the sake of God.

“I want to Bless the 2nd and 3rd generations before I leave the earth. You should be prepared to receive the Blessing in front of True Parents. I will ask for special donations to help you in your work. When you go back to America don’t forget your clan family in Korea. I have a dream that when I come back to America and make a tour that you will bring people to hear me.” (Notes by Michael Lamson http:// www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon11/SunMyungMoon-110922.htm)

October 5. Kickoff Rally for Registration in God’s Fatherland, Rio Hotel, Las Vegas, NV

“Another historic rally of Christian ministers, various clergy, and faithful members of the Unification Church packed a ballroom of the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas on the evening of Oct. 5, 2011 to honor the call of the Founding Couple of the Unification movement. More than a thousand had assembled with little more than 24 hours’ notice to hear Rev. Sun Myung

Moon speak under the banner of “Registration for God’s Kingdom and the Fatherland - America Stands with True Parents for True Love, Family and Peace.” Echoing his message along similar lines at three previous rallies in Las Vegas this year, Father Moon told the crowd that a new era of peace and prosperity was imminent, yet he exhorted all to study and take to heart his legacy of teachings. He also said: ‘This event is the first and last of its kind.’

“Scores of clergy and their spouses as well as leaders of many faith communities were on hand; many had returned with Rev. Moon and Mrs. Moon, known affectionately as Father and Mother Moon, less than two weeks before after a 13-day tour of Korea to support Father Moon’s peace- message campaign. Approximately 24 ministers were awarded “registration certificates” for God’s Kingdom on earth and were honored as honorary members of Korean tribal clans. (Report by Ariana Moon)

True Father’s message highlights:

“First, all blessed families should attend God at the center of their families and every day carry out Hoondok [scripture reading] education, which can completely unite parents and children. In other words, you should thoroughly teach the Divine Principle, the textbooks and teaching materials True Parents have bequeathed, True Father’s autobiography, and absolute marital fidelity taught through the original Divine Principle.

“Second, Heaven has permitted the grace of the authority of Seonghwa [funeral ritual] for rebirth and resurrection to be bestowed on the family unit. Here, a requisite condition is the complete unity between parents and children. In other words, you must establish the standard for absolute parents and absolute children, and establish an absolute family.

“Third, humankind has moved out of the authority of the era of restoration through indemnity, thanks to the grace of True Parents who have suffered hardships through which they sweat blood. Therefore, do not forget the fact that during True Parents’ lifetimes we all have the responsibility to liberate families, tribes, peoples, nations and the world from the authority of hell. Now that the era of restoration through indemnity has ended, what kind of era is dawning? The reign of tranquility and prosperity in the victorious authority centered on God and True Parents shall be eternal.

“Fourth, we are now entering the era of the authority of God’s direct dominion. Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that less than three years remain until the ‘D- day’ proclaimed by Heaven. I beg that you inscribe in your hearts the fact that we have entered the era of the authority of the cosmic Sabbath in which your family members in the spirit world shall return to the earth to receive the Original Divine Principle education, and where eight generations will live together in a single family.” https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon11/ SunMyungMoon-111005a.pdf

Nov 28 and following: THE PASSION OF TRUE FATHER (Kachi, pp. 139-140)

“The God of Night was unable to see the Principle actualized. The history of creation has never once seen the perfection or completion of the laws of the Principle. I know that if I am unable to manage this before I reach the age of 104, I will be considered a failure.” (Yeosu, June 4-6, 2011)

True Father’s Final Decision (Kachi)

“As Foundation Day approached, True Father knew how far we fell short of Heaven’s expectations. Wanting us, as his children, to obtain the victory, True Father had no choice but to make a final decision.

Dreams True Father Wanted to Fulfill

“I want to solve all kinds of problems while I am here.” (1982.7.1)

“I fought with the spirit world and was victorious on the individual level. To win that victory, I faced winds that threatened to sweep me away; they were harsher than the harshest winds on earth. Tens of millions of times I had to resolve to persevere against the powers of death. Whenever I came face to face with the enemy, Satan, I told myself, “I cannot collapse. I cannot die. If I die, who will establish the will of heaven? No matter how much I suffer, I have to live. Even if my four limbs are amputated, and I am bedridden the rest of my life, I absolutely must not die.” With this resolution, I was able to overcome all obstacles on that incredibly difficult path.” (1963.10.16)

“Because I started in hardships, because I endeavored to love humankind, before I die, I wish to unite the world and return to my homeland. So, I can stand before God where I cried and prayed for the sorrow and resentment in the world and finally say, “Mountains! Rivers! I’ve done it! I have come home!” That is all I wish for.”(1986.3.2)

“Before I go to the spirit world, I have to arrange it so that no trace of the Fall remains on earth.” (1999.5.14)

“Yet when I go before God and say, ‘Here am I, Sun Myung Moon,’ I would wish to see God shedding tears of joy over the return of His son. God’s heart has been filled with unfathomable pain and suffering. Therefore I cannot die until I hear God’s own voice say, ‘Welcome!’ as He runs down a stairway of a hundred thousand steps as if He is flying, wraps His arms around me, then climbs back up the forever-long stairway to return to His throne, carrying me in His arms and announcing, ‘My Will has been accomplished! Aju!’” (2003.1.31)

“My lifelong cherished desire has been this: ‘Shouldn’t I be able to die in God’s ideal nation where God can protect me? If I do not bring this about during my lifetime, then will not my life have been a miserable one? I must establish this nation before I die and live there, even if only for a single day.’”ㅤ(2003.2.5)

True Father had another dream he wanted to fulfill before he went to the spirit world. It was a dream of visiting his parents’ grave at his hometown of Jeongju after the reunification of North and South Korea after establishing Cheon Il Guk.

“I am still working for God and humanity. But someday … I will come again to visit your grave with the sound of utmost joy around from North and South Korea. That was my promise in front of the tombstone. I will surely keep my commitment to them before my death.” (2002.4.28)

“When I stood before the grave of my late mother, I was on the verge of serious tears. I cannot shed tears in the satanic world. I get used to enduring. I had been well trained. I am a man who is longing for the day that I can weep deeply, ‘Mother!’ at the time of visiting her grave after the reunification of the North and the South. It is necessary to carry out this dream before I die.” (1993.1.1)

“I cannot forget that I kicked out my mother before her very eyes when she came crying all the way to the prison just to see me once. When I went to North Korea, I should not shed tears in front of such a mother’s grave. ‘Mother, I decided to come and serve and attend you after I restored the country. Once I accomplish it, I will serve you, Mother.’ My older sister and younger sister wept loudly, but I kept myself from crying out, even as my breast was being torn apart.” (1994.11.3)

“My retrospective sorrow lies in not having established the foundation of loyalty before God by comprising three generations together with my parents and

grandparents. Think about how wonderful it would be to have three generations united in one heart and discussing what they should do for God’s Will.” (Rev. Moon’s Philosophy of Education, p. 140, 1970.11.15)

The Reason True Father Had to Throw Away the Dream He Wanted to Fulfill before His Ascension

True Father’s Suffering

The blessed central families seemed to be far from fulfilling their mission as the children by Foundation Day, while True Father was promising God that he would bring the victory before Foundation Day. That made him feel desperate, and he was suffering day and night.

November 28, 2011 (Rev Kachi): On November 28, 2011, True Father went around Jeju Island and spent a restless night. In the very early morning of the next day, around 3 am on Nov. 29, True Father called the responsible leaders to come to his side. True Father expressed his frustration and anger at their poor results. He began crying at Hoon Dok meeting and became speechless from emotion. After the meeting, on the way to the dining room, he burst into tears. Inside the helicopter heading for Geomun Island, True Father said he wanted to start the Unification Church from scratch. True Father cried all the way until they arrived.

Dec 10, 2011:

“One must receive the royal seals of father and mother. There will be the final Blessing ceremony of True Parents, which is the third one. Why do all of you need to participate at parents’ Blessing ceremony? To receive Father’s royal seal and Mother’s royal seal. You don’t know yet but Mother’s royal seal was made (too). The royal seal is the pillar that all four directions, east, west, south and north are pulled over.” (“God is a spirit and has no body,” Hoon Dok Hae, Cheon Jeong Gung on 11.16 by the H.C.) https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/ SunMyungMoon11/SunMyungMoon-111210.htm

December 11, 2011 Rev. Kachi sees the “embodiment of the Word” proclamation concluding with the “Declaration of Final Victory” on December 11, 2011:

”By letting all things in heaven and earth focus on this particular place and moment, while the Creator, God, found the Original standard of Creation, we declare the perfection, conclusion and completion of all the providences and the final victory. ”

Annual motto: “Era of the victory, liberation and completion of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind”

January 8–15 Rallies to support the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind in their efforts to unify the Korean Peninsula and bring world peace

Here’s what Father immediately said after speaking those words:

“One nation and two human beings. Two people, True Parents, are united as one. That is why the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind can settle. Everything can be done. The title, ‘The Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind,’ says it all.

“It means that as long as you were born as sons and daughters in the same lineage, by following my tradition, you must attend the Parents, Mother and Father, as the number one people in heaven and on earth.” 48 of 88

By knowing the context and the Divine Principle, we see True Father was teaching that the children must attend Mother and Father.

January 19—Feb 24, 2012 (Kachi, pp. 139-40) Reprimanding Kook-Jin Nim and Hyung- Jin Nim. On January 19, 2012, True Father scolded True Mother, because Kook-Jin Nim and Hyung-Jin Nim, whom True Mother set up as leaders, rebelled against True Father’s wishes over the Holy Wedding Ceremony. To deal with this mistake, True Father held a special ceremony by setting up True Mother as the center.

”When True Mother stands in front, all you have to do is just obey True Mother and follow her footsteps. It would become such an easy matter. … We have entirely unified the world and formed the realm of oneness on heaven and earth, with the whole world as one together with True Parents and with True Children. We have successfully set up this condition as of today; I bless this condition.” (2012.1.19)

”Neither Kook-Jin nor Hyung-Jin is the highest ranking person in our church. They are also caught up, in a way, if they do something without my approval. I have the one to report to behind me. Who is that? It was the one who put the commandment before the Fall “not to eat the fruit of good and evil in the garden of Eden.” (2012.2.21)

”I have 14 sons and daughters, but they are all similar, internally and externally. Their hands, hair, and even the personality are identical. They won’t respond to others’ advice, suggestions or anything. How indomitable? Sun-Jin represents it. Kook-Jin, Hyung-Jin, and their children, too. No one can give them any pieces of advice.” (2012.2.24, Day of Victory of Love)

“Special Declaration” on April 24, 2012, Cheon Hwa Gung, Las Vegas. (See Kachi, pp. 136-7):

“With gratitude for all the toil we, both myself and Mother, went through by following your will, I want to offer all of the procedures in order as a memorial occasion in front of heaven. Please accept this time with Your joy, since we prepare it as our sincere offering and worship to you. …We, after completion of True Parents of Heaven and Earth, show appreciation to you, the God of night, God of day, for raising us up and letting us stand in the position of completion. Since we worship and attend you, the Original Absolute Parent and Creator, with pledging heart and holding each other’s hands at this moment, please accept all of this from your throne of heaven… Since we will offer final completion and conclusion of the “Cosmic Assemblies for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind Who, as God’s Embodiment, Proclaim the Word,” please receive this.”

Inauguration of the Abel Women’s UN (True Father last public address) Cheongshim Peace World Center, Cheongpyeong

True Father’s address (including extemporaneous remarks found at https://tparents.org/ Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon12/SunMyungMoon-120716.htm) [PHG 6-13]

In his speech at the founding of the Abel Women’s UN, Reverend Moon stated that,

“Centering on true love, …Men and women are absolutely equal in terms of value. …Men and women who unite through the true love inherent in the original ideal share the same position. Also, they attain the right to accompany each other wherever they may be.”

INSTRUCTOR’S NOTE: This means that centering on true love, social justice, that is, education and rights in the society’s political and economic structure, comes about naturally through men and women loving, respecting and cherishing each other. Men and women don’t want to be apart. Each values the other’s viewpoint and active contribution as integral to the whole truth and perfect outcome.

“Furthermore, [men and women] attain the ideal right of inheritance, where all their property belongs to each equally.”

Based on true love and true family values, men and women share ownership of assets and responsibility for assets. Living as a true global family, we trust brothers and sisters who are called to take responsibility for assets, and bestow ownership upon those who are trusted. As Jesus said, “because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.” We would say, because thou art a loving spouse and parent, have thou authority.”

Reverend Moon articulated the natural conclusion:

“When the original love unites men and women in God’s ideal of true love, they become completely equal beings, focused on true love, by sharing the same rank and the right of participation and their possessions with one another.”

This path to peace that Rev. Moon outlined for the Abel Women’s UN, is not based upon legalism and technology, but

“true motherly love …establishing families that embody true love and elevate the status of mothers, wives, sisters and daughters.”

This indicates that

“Women need to play a major role in world history by serving, together with men, as one of the wheels of the vehicle pulling forward the construction of a peaceful world.”

“God’s intention,” Rev. Moon said in 1958, “is to establish the form of a four position foundation, centered on the bride.” And now, in 2012, his conclusion was the same:

“Women will be the central axis in building a new century characterized by its loving, peaceful culture.”

He proceeded to present how this applies to his wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon. He first recalled Dr Moon’s words in her address at the 1992 inauguration of the Women’s Federation for World Peace:

“Under True Mother as the victorious representative of the world’s women, women can establish now the model of a true mother and true wife and form ideal families through a true love movement. Furthermore, women can carry out a campaign to 50 of 88

exemplify the practice of true love by living for the sake of others in all walks of life, including politics, economics, culture and social work.”

Rev. Moon endorsed the Women’s Federation as the God-centered peace movement based upon the Principle and God’s providence:

“It is a global peace movement on a whole new level with the providential significance of realizing the ideal world as God envisioned it at the Creation. [It is grounded in] the worldview of one family under God, [which consists of ideals that] represent the path that will lead humanity to a world of everlasting peace and happiness.”

He shared that he discovered this worldview not by himself, but together with his wife:

“It is the system of thought based on true love that my wife and I, the True Parents, have learned from Heaven.”

WFWP’s “service projects and education programs,” Rev. Moon explained, have been carried out “in the context of such providential significance.” Countless organizations carry out service and educational projects, but WFWP is unique in that it alone is

“based on true motherly love …establishing families that embody true love” and automatically “elevate the status of mothers, wives, sisters and daughters.”

That is True Parents’ core strategy for peace, and what makes it revolutionary is that they call the world to put it into practice through the Holy Marriage Blessing movement. Rev. Moon then uplifted Dr. Moon as the exemplar to lead the world into this hopeful future:

“I sincerely ask you to choose True Mother’s path, the path of a true wife, of a true daughter and of a true woman leader who will build a unified world where freedom, peace and happiness overflow.”

Then Reverend Moon called us to unite the spiritual and physical worlds, he stated that Heaven had proclaimed the date of Foundation Day.

“We are living in a historic time …to unite the spiritual and physical worlds … Heaven has already proclaimed that the thirteenth day of the first month in 2013 by the lunar calendar will be its Foundation Day.”

And he linked Foundation Day to the new organization:

“We have Foundation Day, D-Day… We now have less than a year. Heaven will bless your endeavors to establish a world of peace based on the Abel Women’s United Nations.”

As he said this, Rev. Moon extemporaneously proclaimed the centrality of Heavenly Mother:

“There have been many religions which believed in Heavenly Father but don’t have a concept of Heavenly Mother. That has been a shameful fact. We haven’t had ‘mother.’ People have said ‘Heavenly Father,’ but who can fix the problems among religions and restore the authority of the country?”

He tied this all together centering on his wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon:

“We must define what it is to be True Mother and True Wife through attending True Mother… I will put Mother in the position of the wife of Adam who represents the Creator, I have been recreating Mother throughout my life so that I can present her in front of the whole world with such a status, even if they strongly oppose it.”

…and stated the Abel Women’s UN mission:

“creating a true family movement that emphasizes living for the sake of others …in conjunction with education in proper values.”

NOTE: The Abel Women’s UN was “established in society as the Global Women’s Peace Network (GWPN).” (True Mother, Anthology vol. 2, p. 155)

Father’s Final Offering of His Life (Kachi)

ODP workshops, held by True Parents, gave us the opportunity to repent for all of our past with the Word, so that we could make a new determination for the victory of Foundation Day. At the same time, True Father continued to push himself to the limit every day, as if he was offering his physical body’s life as a sacrificial offering. True Father continued to hold Hoon Dok Hwe meetings, taking no time to eat, and sometimes going on for 9 or even 13-and-a-half hours at a time.

”Since he was born with a healthy body, if Father had taken care of himself, he could have lived a long life. During the last few years, however, he would say that each day felt like a thousand years; that was how busy he was. He really did not want to go to the hospital at this time, and since he was in charge of everything, I could not help him in any way. …He continued to live a difficult life.”(True Mother, 2012.9.23)

True Father ascended as a sacrificial offering before Foundation Day by taking responsibility for his disciples’ disbelief, sins, and failures. To indemnify and make a new start, disciples needed to repent by receiving the ODP education and succeeding in the mission of tribal messiahs. With these conditions, all the disciples received the CIG Holy Wine, so that True Parents would be able to register the disciples to CIG on Foundation Day.

August 3, 2012 True Father developed pneumonia after his cold worsened. He was coughing a lot. By True Mother’s persuasion, True Father went to the hospital, and was admitted to St. Mary’s Hospital of Catholic University on August 3, 2012.

In early August, after different kinds of tests were carried out over a period of about ten days, True Father wanted to leave the hospital. He found it difficult to stay in the hospital, saying that it felt like a prison. We had no choice but to have him discharged. That was on August 12.

”After leaving the hospital, during the one day he stayed in Cheon Jeong Gung, Father told his assistants, ‘I want to eat with Mother today.’ I usually sat next to him during meals, but on that day he said, ‘I want to eat sitting face to face with Mother, so I can see her face.’ So, we set the table accordingly. However, Father stared at my face for a long time instead of eating. I believe he was engraving my face in his heart. I felt tears welling up inside of me, but on the outside I maintained a smiling face and asked him to try this dish or that, saying to him, ‘This one is quite good, and that is also delicious.

“After that experience, I became more serious than ever, and I strongly wanted to convince him to take a nap. He, however, pressed his staff members to accompany him as he hurriedly visited various parts of Cheon Jeong Gung. August 13 was an extremely sunny day. Despite the hot sun, and even though he had to be accompanied by an oxygen tank almost as tall as a man, he insisted on looking around the palace. Father did a tour of Cheon Jeong Gung. He visited the Cheong Shim Middle and High Schools and the nearby small park and drove around the Cheong Shim Peace World Center and the Cheongpyeong training center.

He then came and sat in the sitting room in Cheon Jeong Gung and asked for a digital recorder. Holding the recorder in his hand, Father thought deeply for about ten minutes and then spoke while recording what he said. As you may know from having heard his recorded voice, Father gave the same message three times on that day — in the sitting room, in the master bedroom, and in Cheong Shim Hospital. He said, “Everything is done! Everything is done!” He then went on to pray, struggling for breath, “I will return everything 52 of 88

back to Heaven.” He emphasized, “I have brought things to a conclusion, completion, and perfection.” And he took my hand and said, “Mother, thank you! Mother, please take care of things!” What meaning can be attributed to his uttering such words? Now and then, he said such things as “The time has come for me to go. I know when I will pass away.” I am sure that during this time he was making his final preparations. What I am relating to you is only a small part of what happened before Father ascended; in truth, I experienced much more with Father during those days. When we had our meals, we usually sat next to each other, and he would be aware of my presence and would hold my hand firmly in his as he ate. Whenever I think about such things, I am very sorry, and it hurts my heart to think that I let him go without making him more comfortable.

When I asked him to rest, he sometimes said, “I want to lay my head in your lap, Mother,” and would take a very short nap. Of late, he did things he had never done when he was healthy. Father, who had lived his whole life more energetically than anyone else, wished to stay close to me at all times when he became less well, and needed me and depended on me like a child does his mother.” (True Mother, 2012.9.23)

2012.6.26 by the Heavenly Calendar (8.13 SC) The final official proclamation of his earthly life:

“I have completed everything. Today, as I have returned the conclusion of the final perfection to You, Father, I know that up to this moment, I have offered my whole life to You. I am spending this time now to bring my life to its conclusion, to bring it to a close with utmost devotion, in accordance with Your Will. … I declare that if … the tribal messiahs are able to fulfill the calling of national representatives, everything will be brought to a conclusion. I have accomplished everything for this. I have completed everything. Aju!”

True Mother’s Words about the “Promise to True Father”

“I made a promise to Father that no matter how difficult it is to fulfill the Will, I will bring it to a conclusion in my lifetime. I told him that I will accomplish God’s purpose of creation and the ideal world of creation. I said that I will accomplish this by all means. To do that, I am determined not to change. The day when Father went to the hospital, he told me how very thankful he was to me. He said he was so sorry and so thankful to me. I want to accomplish the Will that he left for us to fulfill, together with all of you. I hope that as we go along the path, none of you become sons and daughters who fall away.” (True Mother, 2012.9.5)

2012.7.17 HC (9.3 SC) at 1:54 a.m.

Holy Ascension of Sun Myung Moon, the True Parent of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind

Even after True Father returned to Cheong Jeong Gung Palace, he forced himself to work. As a result, his condition worsened again, and he was transferred from the CheongShim Hospital to Our Lady Hospital. The hospital continued the sleep treatment, but there was no sign of recovery. So, True Father was moved back to CheongShim Hospital for a better environment. True Father peacefully ascended to Heaven on September 3, while surrounded by True Mother and True Children.

Providence after True Father’s Seonghwa

“I cannot always pull you along. What will you do when I am no longer around?” (1979.4.15)

“My desire for you is that you love God first before you love me. … Hence, you should not be sad when I leave home to travel for tens of thousands of miles on a pilgrimage to love God. All of you must love God and humankind before loving me.” (1969.2.2)

“I will die someday, but it doesn’t matter because I can continue to work in the spirit world. I will have opened the way to help those who suffer most, after I go to spirit world. I can be in a position to assist those who are suffering here on earth, because by my suffering I will have set the condition. You see, in the spirit world those in history who suffered the most in the name of God occupy the central positions. I intend to outdo or surpass the suffering of all the past saints, so as to not only dwell among them but rise up above them, so that together we can liberate the suffering souls of the world more quickly. Do you understand? It’s all a part of heavenly strategy. … The work will never stop, whether I am here on earth or up in Heaven. …Even after my death, as a spiritual man I will continuously appear and lead you in the same tradition, the same way of life, until we have achieved the perfect Kingdom of God here on earth.” (1976.9.20)

“Even if I die, I will go to the spiritual world to guide you on earth.” (2010.8.16)

“True Father’s way of life in the spiritual world is identical to his style of life on earth. He lives solely for the accomplishment of God’s Will. Therefore, his life has not yet ended.

If you pray that you truly desire to meet True Father while tears flow from your face, True Father will spiritually appear before you and will tell you everything. Even if you are alone in a room, True Father will just enter to be with you, like he would physically. Normally you cannot tell if he is spiritual or physical; you will have no idea. In Korea, there are many who are like this; they greet True Father early in the morning, “True Father, why did you leave last night? It wasn’t even midnight. Something good happened, if only you had stayed a bit longer.” … That is because they mistook him, who was spiritually present, to be physically there.” (1970.11.26)

True Father’s comments on his true legacy

“I am proclaiming this today before you leave, because today is a day of commemorating the third anniversary. God should take the lead in the providential world and in making providential history. I will move to the rear now. If there is anything to praise, it is not me. The name, ‘Rev. Moon,’ should be erased. The name ‘Rev. Moon’ is associated with the opposition I faced, isn’t it? …Next are the True Parents! To understand the title ‘True Parents,’ the unnecessary terms ‘Savior,’ ‘Messiah,’ and ‘Lord at his second coming,’ were attached to it during the course of restoration. Those superfluous titles should all be removed.” (May 5, 2007, Third Anniversary of Sang Hab Ship Seung Il, Cheon Jung Gung, Cheongpyeong, Korea, “The Era When God Will Be At The Forefront Of The Providence And Guide It” https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon07/ SunMyungMoon-070504.htm)

“Those thinking of joining the Unification Church for their personal benefit need not bother to apply. We come to the Unification Church in order to be of benefit to the nation. That is my belief. I do not want you to love me. That is not what I want. You must first love God and humanity. Only then may you love me. That is the essential teaching of Unificationism. There is no other way for us. I have been trained that way myself.” (Rev. Moon’s Philosophy of Education, pp. 269-70, 1971.10.17)

I have no ambition to become famous in the world. I have offered this kind of thing to Heaven. In my daily life I don’t have any such an idea in my mind. Rather, I feel that I am just a worker. I have left it up to God whether or not He blesses Unification Church. It is His business. You have to become a person of such pure heart; you have to be disinterested in this sense. (Home Church, p. 462)

You have to love your 360 homes with your whole heart, and more than you love me. . . . This is the standard. If you do, the same angelic world that supported me in winning worldwide victory will praise you. My teaching is, “Love your 360 homes more than you love me.” You don’t need to worry about me anymore. Say, “Father, you don’t need to come here for many years because I found someone whom I love more than you. I don’t need you anymore.” That is fine. I will not complain, even if I am a stepping stone for all mankind. Instead, I will feel more hopeful. (Home Church, p. 465)

“(To True Grandchildren) When you start your family, you need to lead a public life. You also should be financially independent. Where is Hyung Jin? (To Hyung Jin Nim) You should give good education to the 3rd gens so that they can be a plus to the church without being indebted to it. “In Korea, The World Unification Peace Academy, which is for training young leaders, was established. Students will study theology for two years and then they must dedicate themselves as church leaders for three years. When they are as good as church leaders, they will continue that mission and they will be given other missions otherwise. It doesn’t give any military training but its atmosphere is like West Point in the US, which gives a strict education and training so that students can have all the refinement as future leaders. We will choose students from those who have bachelor’s degrees and the Academy will start next year. “3rd generations of the True Family must do the same and do more. You should lead a public life and must not be indebted to anybody. Do you understand? You as True Grandchildren should become role models. Hyung Jin, the international president, will educate you from now on. You should follow his direction well, OK? You should be able to be good models for our members. Your grandfather (True Father), without being indebted to anybody throughout his life, established everything from one to ten. Children should have fully received his education and be loyal to him. Your grandmother (True Mother), being in charge now, will correct things from now on. Without establishing tradition, we will face chaos. “Firstly, you should study hard and stand on your own two feet. You should become persons who give aid to others first before receiving it first. I hope you will grow as leaders. Do you understand what I am saying? If you live here, you should witness to the people here and help with church activities. “The reason why I told all families to have Hoon Dok Hae by themselves is because parents were always in the front line in the past and came to the meeting leaving their children at their 55 of 88

homes. As a result there had been problems in educating the 2nd gen. I would say the 2nd gen have grown only by themselves. But now we are in the era of 안착, 정착 (safe arrival, firm settlement), and so we should have internal stability, starting with an education for the 2nd gen in their homes. “When parents have a public mission, they do it after having Hoon Dok Hae with their children. But your grandfather (True Father) liked to have meetings and so we always got together but grandmother (True Mother) thinks that each family must be strong first educating the 2nd gens. That’s why I said to have Hoon Dok Hae with one’s family. (To the participants of the 1st gens), Parents of 1st gens, do you understand? (‘Yes.’) You should educate your children well. The parents’ responsibility is huge. “It has been the history of 60 years since HSA-UWC was established. Father spent 20 years in Korea and 40 years in the US, but we have such little results here. It is the same in Korea. Father’s goal doesn’t match the reality we have here. Father worked on many external things for the sake of the world so that people would come to know us as quick as possible, but it didn’t work well. Those who were responsible as church leaders should have made efforts 120%, but they couldn’t match what Father expected. Father was alone and nobody could be in accord with him. To form a common base and then enter into interaction are important words in Divine Principle. Who was in accord with Father’s request? Father is so sad after he went to the spirit world. He said, ‘I trusted them, but I didn’t know they only had such little results.’ Rev. (Chang Shik) Yang, do you think American members are determined now after the meeting yesterday? (‘Yes.’) There shouldn’t be any Blessed families who don’t have an urgent feeling. You should think that you don’t deserve meals if you can’t save one person that day. You should be able to feel more grateful and joy when you save people than you eat. “I also said this. We couldn’t attend Father, who came as the Savior and the Messiah of the Second Coming. We couldn’t even attend him as if he were the president of a big company, for example. It is really shameful. That’s why I said we should repent, and furthermore, we should reestablish ourselves. We should restart with gratitude that Father didn’t throw us away. Right after you open your eyes, be thankful toward Heaven and True Parents. When you live with a prayer and gratitude saying ‘I made efforts on this day. But I am so sorry I couldn’t save even one person. I will make twice efforts tomorrow so that I can report to you in joy,’ nature and people will respond to you more. Do you know that? “Recently, sweet persimmons were sent from Japan. I heard that the person who had raised them had always read the Divine Principle to the persimmon tree and let it listen to holy songs. The persimmons were so juicy and delicious. As such, all creatures like to listen to the truth. The more you give to the nature, the more it returns to you, but why is it so difficult when it comes to the world of people? “We have to change the way we think and empty our minds. You should become happy people with overflowing feelings of gratitude, and then you could share your happiness with others. But instead, you had shared worries and frustrations, and how can we expect any results from doing that? Even fruits, which can’t say a word, respond to your Jeong Seong.” True Mother’s tour also included a speech at Manhattan Center on the same day. These excerpts appear in 2CSG: “True Father worked day and night without rest throughout his entire life. I also have not slept more than three hours a day since I began attending him. As a result, we were tired all throughout the day. Now, True Father has gone to the spirit world. He transcends time and space and will be working assiduously. I imagine he does not have time to sleep. If you have been unable to fulfill your responsibility, you need to resolve to invest yourself to the utmost with a life-or-death commitment. The life you have been leading up until now will not suffice. Create a new beginning. This is our last chance.” (12-4-3-14)

“In the history of the providence, failures of central figures or chosen people to fulfill their responsibility have been followed without exception by indemnity. For sixty years following the establishment of our church, True Father worked publicly and earnestly for the sake of God’s providence. It is not an overstatement to say that he spent two thirds of that time, that is, forty years of his life, in America. Our eternal homeland is Korea, but he invested more in America. It is because he was thinking about all humanity. The great blessing that America has received as the elder-son nation means it has the responsibility to gather the brothers and sisters and bring them to the parents.” (12-4-3-30) “When it comes to educating and raising children, the mother has to be stronger than the father. That is why I told my daughters-in-law, ‘You have to follow the tradition and become stronger than your husband.’ The mother’s role was great during Israel’s course of paying indemnity while living in a difficult environment. It is the same with the Unification Church. Women have the responsibility to march at the front, organize and handle everything, and help the men.” (12-4-3-34) 2016

The Providence in America and the Role of Representatives November 30, 2016

Global Launch of the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace Kennedy Caucus Room of the USA’s Russell Senate Office Building, Washington DC

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, since the proposal of IAPP at the beginning of this year, in Seoul, Korea, we have succeeded in inaugurating IAPPs, beginning from Asia, continuing to West Africa, Europe, Central America, South America and back to East Africa before we came to meet here today in Washington DC. …We must begin a movement in which our families, our nations and the world attend God, the original owner of the universe. …The original Creator, God, created all things in the cosmos; he created the animal world and last he created Adam and Eve, who would become the ancestors of all humankind. He especially gave Adam and Eve responsibility. That responsibility was the responsibility to achieve God’s dream. During the growth stage, in the position of absolute unity with God, they should have reached the position to receive the Blessing. They should have gone through that process of growth. Nevertheless, during the growth stage, they became greedy.

That means they grew farther apart in their relationship with God. In the end, the first human ancestors, who should have been the True Parents, fell and became false parents who began to multiply, which became all humankind. However, the omniscient and omnipotent God had to achieve his purpose of creation. …God had no choice but to go through a very lonely and difficult course, the historical providence. …God sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. …Fallen human beings could not immediately come into Heaven’s presence. …God’s wish was for the lost True Parent of humankind to be regained. That person was the Messiah, the Savior.

The …people of Israel …were under a great empire, the Roman Empire. …If the people of Israel, especially Mary, Zechariah’s family, Joseph’s family, Judaism, had united with Jesus and led the way along Heaven’s providence, through the Roman Empire as a stepping-stone, one human family centered on God, the kingdom of heaven on earth, would have come to fruition at that time. However, what happened? The people around Jesus, who should have fulfilled their responsibilities, did not fulfill them. …Jesus had to follow the way of the cross, saying he would return …to hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. Those words meant that Jesus had not been able to be in the position of a True Parent, therefore the returning Messiah, must absolutely be and go forward as the True Parent. We can look at the two thousand years of the providential history under Christianity, as the providential period to establish the position of the only begotten daughter of God.

As part of Heaven’s historical providence to send the returning Lord, Heaven especially chose this nation. …through [the Puritans] who migrated to the American continent, God gave birth to this nation, the United States of America. There were native people on this continent. However, Heaven raised America through the people who could create the foundation and environment for the returning Messiah. He blessed them. Responsibility follows the people that Heaven blesses. However, two hundred years after its founding, …America was suffering from malaise that led to a period of extreme individualism and the breakdown of the family, problems with youth and problems with drugs. …Rev. Moon …knew Heaven’s providential plans for America.…

In 1976, here at the Washington Monument, …three hundred thousand people gathered. Rev. Moon urged America they had to wake up and become a nation responsive to God. …Under the banner, “God Bless America” and through continuously holding great rallies, Rev. Moon was able to pull the heartstrings of good American families. Because of that, young people in America were reborn. …We spent a period of forty some years here in America. This was so that America could build the foundation for the True Parents [to] embrace the world as one, thereby becoming one family under God and achieving God’s great dream.

During that time, …communism, which proclaimed that God was dead, emerged. … America had been complacent and did not recognize how seriousness the situation had become. …If America had stayed in that defenseless state, the America of today would not have come to exist. At that time, …Rev. Moon nurtured The Washington Times and informed America through it. He enlightened the conservative world. Rev. Moon did this because he hoped that America, from the viewpoint of Heaven’s providence, would survive and become a nation that would achieve God’s dream.

…God gave humankind responsibilities, and from among humankind, a person that can be the True Parent must emerge. …human power alone cannot possibly solve all the … problems that are occurring all around the world. …The Bible has a metaphor about wild olive trees and true olive trees. Fallen human beings in the world, wild olive trees, can only become true olive trees through True Parents. Therefore, the person that humankind absolutely needs today is the True Parent.

Legislators and other leaders in the United States and from around the world who have gathered here, …you [are] intermediaries who represent the people, so you must spread forth a movement that attends God in your family, society, nation and the world.

Mother committed to speaking when an area can generate an audience of 10,000 or more. In 2017 this took place in several cities in Korea and Japan, Vienna, Austria, Madison Square Garden (“Peace Starts with Me”) and the Seoul Olympic Soccer Stadium, an event dedicated to the unification of Korea.

The US movement had not sponsored a large-scale event for since the 1998 Blessing, but it mobilized well, united with Bishop Ki Hoon Kim, the continental director, and brought success. The key was the creation of the 2,000 (?) voice choir, and inclusion of singers and a choir director well-known in the Christian world.

True Mother could see that the Christian community remains the key to victory in the USA.

July 15, 2017, Madison Square Garden

“The realization of True Parents occurred in 1960. However, the Christian realm did not create an environment for them. True Parents’ every move had to begin from the bottom-up. Thus, they completed the blessing of 430 couples who could represent a people.

“In the meantime, America, blessed by Heaven, became sick and in 1972, True 58 of 88

Parents came to the United States. Healing and restoring all the problems in America became a priority. Many righteous people and many young people followed Rev. Moon, but politicians who did not understand, tried to chase Rev. Moon out of America. As a result, [True Father] went to prison in Danbury. If it weren’t for True Parents’ mission, no need existed for them to come to America. However, because they were the True Parents, because their mission was to save America and guide the world to God, True Father endured incarceration in Danbury, and for forty years, he shed blood, sweat, and tears for America.

“America was supposed to take responsibility as a nation blessed in relation to Heaven’s providence, but it was suffering from so much individualism, family breakdown, and youth issues that one could not bear to look an inch into America’s future. It was also facing the threat of communism. [My husband] believed that the way to save America was the way to save the world; therefore, he told a famous professor of political science to declare the failure of communism. That was in 1985. What happened? Communism fell five years later. That was not all. True Parents brought three thousand young people from a communist environment, the Soviet Union, to the United States and taught them. As a result, these people were able to protect their nation from the threats of communism. The world is unaware of this. Even without the cooperation of any nation, let alone that of America, True Parents overcame unspeakable and indescribable difficulties. It took more than fifty years to reach where we are today. During that time, the Family Federation has established blessed families in more than a hundred and twenty nations.

“Fallen humankind cannot return to God. They need to receive engrafting by the True Parents who among all human beings, achieved victory. That is the blessing, which the Family Federation offers. When this nation and the world is overflowing with these blessed families, God’s dream, humankind’s hope, True Parents’ hope, and the one human family’s hope can become reality.

“That day is not far away. True Parents blessed Korea and Japan as the central nations of the providence and America as the eldest-son nation. These three nations need to unite and on the foundation of a revolution in the culture of heart, based on a heart of filial piety, we need to begin the era of the Pacific Rim civilization from Asia. When the footsteps of blessed families and young people of the Youth Federation across the five oceans and six continents become sparks and lights in front of the world, 7.4 billion people will flock as one towards those lights. We need to create such an environment.

“A world of genuine freedom, equality, peace, unity, and happiness is not far off. When all of you gathered here today become one with True Parents and practice living for the sake of others with true love toward those around you—your tribe, your church and your nation—we can build a united world with our own hands.

“Ladies and gentlemen, here today, I hope that all of you unite with me and become sparks that light up this dark world and guide people to God’s bosom. God Bless America! May this country, blessed by God, truly uphold this statement: May you never forget that essence and become lights in the world with redoubled courage!”

“The 2,000-Year History of Christianity Has Ended - We Now Live in a New Era”

The 2,000-year history of Christianity has ended and we now live in a new era, the era of Cheon Il Guk. Until now, many of you think, “I really know God,” but I do not believe that it is a level of knowledge that would satisfy God Himself.

…who has truly known the purpose of God’s creation and the purpose of God?… The reason why God gave human beings a portion of responsibility is because God wanted human beings to contribute to the realization of His Will. …The portion of responsibility given to Adam and Eve was to go through a period of growth with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience to God.

However, Adam and Eve failed in their responsibility. They became self centered and allowed self centered greed to take over their lives. They wanted to become like God at an inappropriate time…

…God wanted them to receive His Blessing with God’s dominion allowing Adam and Eve to receive the Blessing. …God would be the first ancestor and be visible as the True Parent of humanity. That is the Principle of God’s creation.

…God’s Principle of Creation dictates that even among fallen human beings a perfected man and a perfected woman must appear and together they must receive the Blessing of God and fulfill God’s ideal of creation.

…It took 4,000 biblical years. Then for the first time, after 4,000 years, God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. …since God created one man and one woman, the only begotten Daughter was to be found. Mary, who had the responsibility of finding the bride of Jesus, the only begotten Daughter, failed in her responsibility. …Christianity until today has not known the essence.

…I could speak for hours but the conclusion is that the only begotten Daughter of God was born among the Korean people and the Only Begotten Daughter together with the Only Begotten Son who fulfills his responsibility will together hold the Holy Wedding of the Lamb, and they are the True Parents standing before you.

…when a particular individual or a nation fails to fulfill the heavenly mandate or responsibility, Heaven does not work with that person or nation again. The reason is that that person or nation which fails their responsibility must pay indemnity.

…what you need to remember is the appropriate time. A person who lives in a country where there is no winter, only summer, if that person moves to a different climate and welcomes winter with summer clothes, he or she will freeze to death. …please let go of old vestiges, take off the old clothes and wear the new clothes of truth.

March 16, 2018

To stimulate tribal messiah success, the US HQ inaugurated an annual leaders conference, to which members were welcome, in Las Vegas.

True Father was committed to the creation of an International Peace Education Center (IPEC) in Las Vegas, and he approved the purchase of a large warehouse to be rebuilt into that center. The location is at a distance from “the Strip,” and close to the airport. To guarantee its completion, he granted funds for that purpose. After his ascension, it took a lot of work with the Las Vegas city government to obtain zoning permits, but it was accomplished. Rev Andrew Compton, an experienced lecturer and witnessing team leader, was assigned by True Mother to direct the center.

Interestingly, Rev Compton was reaching the age of retirement, and had signed a contract to purchase a house in Las Vegas, with no idea that he would receive this assignment.

So the IPEC is where the “Famicon” takes place. True Mother gave an important talk there at the 2018 Famicon.

True Mother’s speech March 16, 2018, Famicon 2018, IPEC, Las Vegas, Nevada I am pleased to meet you everyone. Please take your seats. Can you see me well? Can you see me better now? …Now, I would like to ask you this question: where does the term trinity come from? Catholicism speaks of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and in so doing, usually draws a triangle. Who created this term? Jesus did not speak of the trinity. Originally, God created heaven and earth and he created all of Heaven and Earth in accordance with His Original Form. Thus, in the mineral world, we can see plus and minus, among plants, we see stamen and pistil, in the animal world, we can identify male and female and [Heavenly Parent] created humankind as man and woman. The birth of any living organism does not begin with the male; birth is possible through the mother. Looking back at the creation of Heaven and Earth, if Heavenly Parent had the Holy Father, there was also the Holy Mother [within Heavenly Parent]. Therefore, the current definition of the trinity is wrong. Within Heavenly Parent is the Holy Father and the Holy Mother, the True Parents. This is how Heavenly Parent should be explained. …n 2013, the Only Begotten Daughter, True Mother proclaimed Foundation Day and the starting year of Cheon Il Guk. …in the era of Cheon Il Guk and in order to earn your qualifications as citizen of Cheon Il Guk, you must fulfill the mission of Heavenly Tribal Messiah. …Tribal Messiahship does not end with blessing 430 families. It is when all blessed 430 families also each complete the blessing of 430 families that a national level foundation capable of expanding to the world can be established. …With regards to True Parents, we must make sure that there is no one among all of humanity that does not know about True Parents. Moreover, the fact that the Only Begotten Daughter, True Mother, is here right now and is leading the current providence is something all of humanity should know. I am sure you felt this during the African Summit. Senegal is not the leading power of Africa; moreover, it is a Muslim nation. Our membership there is also quite small. In such a nation, however, we were able to host a Summit with heads of state representing the continent. …Senegal is an Islamic nation and Africa has carried the wounds of slavery for so long. [The former slave port of] Goree Island is close to the city of Dakar. That is why I resolved to liberate Africa and implement the worldwide providence of salvation through Africa. This is the reason I chose to host the Summit in Senegal. The Messiah; all of humanity yearns for the Messiah and the advent of the Messiah should at least take place at the national level. …what is more important than the Second Advent of the Messiah, is the advent of the Only Begotten Daughter who comes from Heaven’s lineage with no relations to Satan, just as Jesus did 2,000 years ago. Unless the Only Begotten Daughter is born, the returning Messiah cannot advance to the position of True Parent. In the gospel of Matthew, it is written that people can be forgiven for slandering the Messiah. However, whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven. … Whoever blasphemes the Only Begotten Daughter, True Mother, shall find no salvation. Regarding the members of the True Family, there have been some issues. They do not understand Heaven’s providence. One of them claims to be the eldest son. I do not know whether the concept of eldest son is as strong in western culture, but in eastern culture, in particular in Confucianism, the concept of eldest son [is strong.] The eldest son carries the family name. When the eldest son ascends to the spirit world, the second or third son does not become the eldest. The line continues with the son of the eldest son; it is that son’s responsibility. No matter how old the uncles may be, the ancestors should be attended by attending the eldest son’s son as the center. This is the tradition of the East, of Confucian culture. 61 of 88

However, regarding Heaven’s providence, what is clear is that True Parents are True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. There is no previous or future True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. This means, there can be no concept of inheritor or successor. Do you understand? With regards to carrying on the tradition of True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, the person standing in the position of eldest son can become a central figure in carrying on the tradition. In simple terms, this son stands in a position akin to the High Priest. There are High Priests in each nation; those among you who are responsible for a nation are the High Priests of that nation. However, regarding the providence as a whole, when it comes to establishing the tradition centering on True Parents, the eldest son’s line will carry this mission through the generations. Just as there is only one Heavenly Parent, there is only one True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. …there can be no confusion or side branches hampering us on the path we are taking; please understand that there is only one path. I have patiently waited and endured for a long time. I was born and grew as Heavenly Parent’s daughter. This is why even if no one taught me the Divine Principle, I knew Heaven’s providence. That is how I made a firm resolve at a young age. I became the subject [of the providence]. My thought was that I will realize Heavenly Parent’s dream during my lifetime. In the future, the Divine Principle will need many updates. What I mean is that theories from the Completed Testament Age do not suffice. I spoke to all of you that I would build and prepare a foundation that would enable all of humanity throughout the world to experience internally and externally the achievements of True Parents, agree with True Parents and understand easily their providence. Furthermore, how would the world of peace that Heavenly Parent and humanity yearn for look like? After resolving to make a model [for the world of peace] and expand this model, what happened to the Cheonwon Complex? You all came to Korea for True Parent’s Birthday celebrations didn’t you? Each year, the [Cheonwon Complex] will look different. I am working so hard; should you or should you not expand Heaven’s foundation in your respective nations and throughout the world? It is because I saw that potential [in America] that I suddenly came here. We shall realize the restoration of the nation and the restoration of the world without fail! Isn’t that so?

Nov 12 True Mother spoke at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, New York, declaring that Christian clergy who accept True Parents Blessing are the true owners of the nation. From there into December she spoke and conducted the Blessing in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Nepal, with the support of national and religious leadership.

This was the first major event in the US that “came from below;” it was not True Mother’s direction. Rev Dunkley, who was in charge of evangelism and media at US HQ, received it as a revelation or inspiration while at Cheongpyeong walking to the Tree of Blessing. He persuaded Dr Kim and everyone, and they determined to offer the invitation to True Mother to speak, and to do it irrespective of whether she accepted or not.

There was a major summit of religious leaders in the New Yorker Hotel the day before the event, with a water ceremony. It included a Roman Catholic Cardinal from the Dominican Republic. Inside story: the organizers of the first Assembly of the World’s Religions, 1985, invited participants to bring “holy waters” with them, from bodies of water sacred to their faith traditions. Many did so—I regret that we did not compile a list, but there were many. That Assembly began with leaders of the main religions each with a candle, lighting one candle. Actually, prior to that, we had a ceremony with native Americans from that part of New Jersey sanctifying the event.

After the candle lighting, the religious leaders—an elder and a younger from each faith— poured the water into a large bowl. So the water literally combined holy waters from 62 of 88

around the world! Then we had the young religious representatives walk up and down the aisles (the room was set up in a circle, with chairs surrounding the stage in the middle) and sprinkle all participants with the holy water.

I, as ass’t director of that event, had emptied out a shampoo bottle in my hotel room and filled it with the holy water. I was put in charge of the 2018 water ceremony, and managed to have a participant coming later from my city (North Carolina) bring that little hotel shampoo bottle to New York. Part of the ceremony was to combine that 1985 water with the 2018 water. I extolled the UPF leaders to keep that water as seed water for future ceremonies.

“Many Walls Exist All Over the World That We Must Overcome”

“…this nation was in a crisis in the 1970s. There were threats from the communist party, and an uncontrollable dilemma of family breakdowns, adolescent issues, and cultural decay. During all this, True Parents who were aware of Heaven’s providence could not abandon America. Therefore, they left Korea and came to this country as doctors to treat its ailment. They came as firefighters to put out the fires from family breakdown. For the sake of this country, which almost could have been communized, they invested in such a way that no other individual could and founded the Washington Times to educate the government and the citizens.

“You have enjoyed such grace so you must not become people who forsake that grace. The same goes for this nation. Therefore, True Parents established Korea, Japan, and America as the central nations to launching world peace. We have opened the era of the Pacific civilization and with this cultural revolution of the heart of Hyojeong, or Heart of Filial Piety, we are carrying out activities all over the world centering on our second- and third-generation members practicing true love for the sake of others. Just as several rivers join together to form a tremendous waterfall and flows toward the vast ocean, our true love movements are swelling over the whole world.

“My earnest hope is that all of us gathered here today will become central messianic figures who are capable of building a hopeful future.” http:// www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/HakJaHanMoon-18/HakJaHan-181112.pdf

Later in the day, True Mother spoke these words to a group of some 150 core ACLC clergy at a dinner:

“Today at the rally, as I saw our ministers continuing the spirit of this nation, the spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers that sought religious freedom, I felt hope. Heaven blessed this nation because it was a democratic nation that could lay the foundation for the returning Lord. God raised this country as a democratic nation, which means that a single leader does not make the decisions, but that it considers the greater good and strives to have good policies and politics through public opinion.

“Today, the center of this nation is not the president. It the ministers; you are the owners. The president changes every 5 years in this country, yet you are eternal. As owners, what should you do? You have [a portion of] responsibility. Owners should raise their children well by standing in the position of parents. Your children are your church members that you minister to. You are leading public lives as ministers, yet as I mentioned in my speech earlier today, fallen people cannot go in front of God; they cannot go in front of Heavenly Parent. This is the reason the providence of restoration through indemnity took six thousand years. Since this is so, you all must receive the Blessing and as a blessed family, you must Bless your congregations.

“A blessed family is the basic unit to achieving Heaven’s Will, Heavenly Parent’s dream, True Parents’ dream and humankind’s hope. What would happen to this

nation if all the clergymen in America, a representative nation, upheld True Parents’ will and true families restored all believers? You are the owners of this nation. What will you do?

“Please become true owners who attend Heavenly Parent and True Parents at the center. Then, you should not stop at this nation but you should bless all 7.6 billion people without missing a single family and become messiahs that guide them to becoming true children of Heavenly Parent. Will you do this? I send my endless love to all of you!”

Nov 13, 2018 East Garden Breakfast Banquet (excerpt)

“That time has come and that is why True Parents came to this country and invested themselves for more than 40 years here so that they could awaken America and help it fulfill its responsibilities within True Parents’ realm. Now, as the eldest son nation which has matured and received True Parents’ direction, America must take care of its brother and sister nations around the world.

“In order to do this, you must educate this democratic country’s president. The president changes every four years. The church is the type of institution that can support Heaven’s providence the quickest. When pastors take good care of their church members and bless many families, their church will prosper and politicians will naturally follow them. At election time, all the politicians go to each church and each institution saying, ‘Please vote for me.’

“That is why, yesterday, I told the religious leaders, ‘You are the owners of this nation.’ An owner must be able to act as an owner. The fastest way to accomplish this is to multiply blessed families. Is this country’s population 200 million or 300 million? [It’s 330 million.] What would happen if all these citizens were in blessed families through the true family movement? You would even be able to influence the president. Therefore, in regard to Heaven’s providence, you are the very people who can determine how to advance and to act accordingly!” 1. Assignment of Rev Dunkley as HSA President 2. 430 couples blessing providence / Cheonbo — how my humble family did it. Senior Pastor Association Mother established the “Senior (or “Elder”) Pastors Association”—referring to HSA-UWC pastors—at the end of 2018, to give elder leaders an explicit responsibility that only they can fulfill, keeping them active on the frontline as they prepare to transition to spirit world. “We have 300 members of the Senior Pastors Association in Korea. True Mother is guiding them to live with wisdom and complete their life’s mission victoriously.” (Dr. Young Ho Yun, FFWPU-I Secretary General, 2019/2/15) Rev. Richard Buessing was given the task of organizing this group in the USA.

April 6, 2019 City of Refuge Church, Gardena, California

Our CARP members, led by a Japanese wife, persistently attended the City of Refuge Church, even with the pastor Noel Jones showing no interest. They attended and served and sang as part of the choir. Finally his heart changed.

Noel Jones’s parents were pastors of a church in upstate New York—Rochester, if I remember right. One sister in North Carolina, was mobilized there and she witnessed to his parents and they participated in ICC activities. So Noel has that spiritual foundation, even though he was not living with his parents at the time and did not meet this sister. But, we never know how spirit world can use our offering.

True Mother’s speech: 64 of 88

“God gave human beings responsibility. During their period of growth, they had to grow to perfection in a position of maintaining absolute oneness with God. However, during their period of growth, Adam and Eve became self-centered and allowed greed to consume them; that is the origin of today’s fallen humanity. God, through our human ancestors, wished to become the Heavenly Parent of humanity, but Adam and Eve brought that dream to ruin. But since our Creator, God, had created based on the principle of creation that the universe is eternal, God has had no choice but to go through the unwanted and painful providence of restoration through indemnity. In the Bible, it is written that God chose the people of Israel and, in the position of indemnifying everything over a long period of 4,000 biblical years, they established a national-level foundation. God waited until that time and finally sent His only begotten Son Jesus and proclaimed, ‘This is My Beloved Son.’ However, even Mary, the mother of Jesus, the family of Zachariah, the Jewish leaders and the people of Israel did not fulfill their responsibilities in relation to Jesus.

“Through Jesus, God wished to realize His dream. Jesus knows how painful it was for God to see, once again, such a sad and painful outcome. That is why he said, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.” [Matthew 26:39] Once again humankind brought sadness to God that could not be atoned for. God had created a man and a woman in accordance with the principles of Creation. As Jesus went to the cross, he prophesied that he would come again. Today’s Christians, however, say that they are saved by the blood Jesus shed on the cross.

…”In 1945 Korea was liberated and in 1950 the Korean War broke out. At that time, Korea was powerless. It was divided into the communist North and the democratic South. South Korea at the time had embraced a democratic regime, but it took time for that system to fully develop. That is why, in 1950, when North Korean communist forces invaded South Korea, South Korea was unprepared for such an invasion. Like a miracle, Heaven sent sixteen UN member nations to come to protect democracy in the Republic of Korea.

“In 1960, when the time had come when I could decide by myself, by my own volition, I ascended to the position of True Parent.

“Fallen people yearn to return to God but they cannot go before God by themselves. This is because, due to the Fall, human beings were born into a lineage not connected to God, the fallen lineage of Satan. It is only through the Marriage Blessing of the unique True Parents that a change of lineage can take place and fallen human beings can be born again as God’s children. If key figures had understood the providence, Christianity would have become the foundation. At that time, filled with the spirit and the truth, the spirit of Christianity in Korea was stronger than in the rest of the world. Since Korea was in such a difficult situation, more than ever, Koreans yearned for the Messiah. Because of such an earnest desire, Heaven sent our True Parents. Two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ had to go the way of the cross because the people of the nation where he was born did not recognize him.

“Yet, True Parents’ Marriage Blessings and the True Family Values Movement took root in an environment with Christian opposition and we have been continuing these around the world for almost fifty years. The time has come! We can no longer hesitate. There are many problems arising all over the world that cannot be solved by human efforts and power. There are ethnic, religious, cultural and ideological walls. The only answer and way forward are the blessed families, those who have received True Parents’ Blessing.

…“Originally, Native Americans were living in this country. However, God worked with the Puritans and blessed America to become the central democratic nation of the world within a short time of less than 200 years. This blessing, however, is not for America itself. As I earlier said, with blessing from Heaven comes responsibility. Heaven blessed America so that America can embrace all of humanity. …All of you here that have received the Blessing today, please fulfill your responsibilities as tribal messiahs, and all ministers of religion participating today please go to your places of worship and accomplish your

responsibilities. We have to start a movement that will bring this country to attend our Heavenly Parent, our Creator God, even one day sooner.

…“Around us, many unacceptable things are happening, things that people should never do. We must wipe away all of these things! On the path to a peaceful world, do we need guns and swords? On the path to a peaceful world, we do not need guns and other weapons. You all know very well, that as a result of these, innocent lives are taken every day. We can no longer just watch these things happen. What should we do? Let us practice true love. This can only be achieved through the Blessing. Bishop Noel Jones, I ask you: please keep this flame alive.”

April 10, 2019: True Mother’s Words to the Japanese Supporters, IPEC, Las Vegas, USA

“In 2018, we hosted the Africa Summit in Senegal based on the unity of the president of Senegal and UPF, even though Senegal is not a Christian nation, but an Islamic nation. I met Senegal’s president the day before the summit and educated him for forty minutes. I have found my son in the Islamic realm. Mansur, a supreme leader of Islam, is standing as my son, too. Now, they are preparing their followers to receive the Blessing.

“That is not all. A prophet named Radebe in the Republic of South Africa is inviting me to hold a Blessing ceremony for 10,000 people. The leaders of many nations in Africa listened to my words and united with me. When I asked them to unite with me and create a new Africa as ‘Heavenly Africa,’ they all agreed. So many national leaders are inviting me to hold Blessing ceremonies on the national level that I have not been able to meet all their requests yet. It is not only in Africa. It is also happening in Europe and Asia. I hosted a summit in Nepal, too.

“Truly, God has gone through tremendous suffering. I must realize God’s dream and humanity’s wishes while I am on earth. Therefore, God is guiding righteous people in the world, whom He has been raising up through peoples and nations, to be connected with me. The Islamic realm, which is unable to unite with Christianity, accepted God’s only begotten daughter, True Mother.

“In the sleeping Christian realm, I have been declaring myself as ‘the only begotten daughter,’ starting from four years ago. At the Kennedy Caucus Room in Washington, D.C., I declared that I am the only begotten daughter and True Mother in front of many senators, and told them to unite with me.

“I made this declaration for the religious world, the political world, and the cultural world as well. There is no perfection in ignorance. Therefore, I teach people. However, it is their responsibility whether they accept it or not. Whether humanity will be able to go to Heaven through True Parents or not depends on each person fulfilling their responsibility. That is why I am making every effort in teaching all people that I am the only begotten daughter, True Mother, and True Parent.

“You should become the Blessed Families who will fulfill the dream of the Original Creator, God, and our Heavenly Parent. The more you share the Blessing with others, the more it will grow. That is why True Parents gave you the Blessing so that you will be able to become the Messiah of your tribe, your nation, and the world. Only in this way will we all be able to unite into one, breaking down all barriers of religion, culture, race, and national borders and realize the dream of ‘One Human Family under Heavenly Parent.’ You have to remove the old clothes from the past and change to new clothes in order to give hope for the future.

“Can I trust you all? I do trust you.”

May 17, 2019: The Loss of the University of Bridgeport

The University of Bridgeport Board of Trustees severed all ties with the Professors World Peace Academy. According to its new president, Laura Skandera Trombley, 66 of 88

“Also during the May 17 meeting, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to amend the University’s bylaws to remove any references to and governance rights of the Professors World Peace Academy, an affiliate of the Unification Church. This amendment finalizes a termination process, which was long underway. The board expressed its gratitude for previous support.”

According to Dr. Andrew Wilson, “I first heard about the prospects of us losing UB in August 2014, at a conference on Unification Thought at UB. At that time it was said that PWPA had lost control of the Board, mainly because it wasn’t putting up any money, while new Board members were coming on from the local community and bringing millions of dollars with them. With the movement having basically withdrawn any active support, the only thing holding UB to the movement was President Salonen, and his retirement was already scheduled to happen.”

Around 2000, President Salonen informed the instructor that Unification movement leadership had informed him that a financial infusion received that year, or thereabouts, was the last it would send.

This is extremely sad to me, but it is a splash of cold water. Our tenure as leaders of the university was almost 30 years. The last twenty of those years it had resulted in financial health, enrollment increase and a strong academic environment. UB was the first university in Connecticut to introduce online-distance learning, and to develop its own website. I’m sure this was due to True Father’s direct influence. And yet, despite all of this, we lost the school. We could not field qualified individuals loyal to the ideals of the movement, which had been championed by PWPA, to serve on the Board.

The funding of PWPA had also been cut, and its intrepid leader, Gordon Anderson, moved to his hometown when the call came to do so, and kept the organization alive by his own abilities, with no movement support. The PWPA was allowed to nominate a majority of Board members, but could not field any. Those who joined the board had no gratitude for the contribution of PWPA and of True Parents to the school. They, and the president they hired, used money as their excuse: the Moon organization has not sent any money for twenty years, so we don’t know them.

November, 2019: Retention of the sacred Barrytown property

The UTS Board voted to sell the upstate campus, due to its poor return on investment. True Mother did not approve, so the property remains within Heaven’s domain. Nonetheless, the UTS main campus now is its 4 West 43rd Street location. The GPA and local church utilize the Barrytown campus, residences are rented, and there are occasional church-related conferences there.

“Peace Starts With Me Clergy Rally: A New Hope for a Heavenly Unified World”

“Christianity began with the resurrection given by the Holy Spirit, and with the Apostles’ writing of the Bible. However, Christianity and the Christians of today have not grasped Jesus’ true essence. They do not know what kind of being God, the Creator, is. Jesus clearly said that he would come again and hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. Hence, Christianity should not have formed many denominations. Instead, they should have watched closely for where the only begotten daughter, Jesus’ partner in marriage for the marriage supper of the Lamb, would appear. God could not send His only begotten daughter through the people of Israel, who did not fulfill their responsibilities. Therefore, He had to select a new chosen people and carry on the providence. Two thousand years have passed since Jesus’ death on the cross. To this day, Christians believe that they can receive salvation through the blood of Jesus on the cross. How mistaken and incomplete a view this is! Jesus came as the True Father of humankind. He came as the True Father, so he was to meet the True Mother. God chose the Korean people, and in 1943 He sent the Only Begotten Daughter. Words cannot describe the effort God had to make to send the Only Begotten Daughter. 67 of 88

“Jesus Christ said he would come again. As I knew Heaven’s providence, I received the Marriage Blessing to Dr. Sun Myung Moon, who had come to continue the mission of Jesus, in our 1960 Holy Wedding.

“The Christian foundation should have become a supportive environment for the True Parents. Heaven stood by the Puritans, who came to America for religious freedom in their determination to attend God, giving rise to the United States. For two hundred years, God worked with the Puritans. There were native peoples here in this nation. Yet God had to create a foundation for the Messiah who was to return through Christianity. Therefore, He raised this nation to be a representative democratic nation. However, America did not know God’s Will.

“God did not bless America just for its own sake. He blessed America for the sake of the world. In the 1970s, however, the United States faced family breakdown, youth problems, drug problems and was unaware that the communist ideology was infiltrating its shores right under its nose. America, which Heaven had blessed, was creating an environment that could only bring about its own collapse. So, as the True Parents, we set off on a tour of all fifty states to awaken America’s people. We preached that America was on fire and that we had come as its firefighters; that America was sick and that we had come as its doctors. However, the politicians of this nation were unaware of God’s providence. True Parents knew that God’s Will was to save the world by raising this nation blessed by Heaven, and that is why we invested more than 40 of the golden years of our lives for this country. The youth who came to know of God’s Will went out as missionaries to the world in 1975. For more than forty years, they invested in their mission countries. Thanks to their sincere devotion, God could work through righteous, prepared people in Africa to hold the Blessing with the potential for the restoration of the African continent.

“I want to believe in you. Members of the clergy who have gathered here from all over the world! You are the righteous people prepared by Heaven in this age. What is the mission of righteous people? You should be able to embrace the nation and the world with true love, living for the sake of others, instead of living only for yourselves. This is what the True Mother, the Only Begotten Daughter, is doing. I am guiding fallen people to become Heavenly Parent’s children through the Blessing. You must know that this has been the long-awaited hope and dream of humankind for 6,000 years; and it is also Heavenly Parent’s desire.

“True Mother, the Only Begotten Daughter, is guiding a new era and a new providence. This is the seventh year of Cheon Il Guk. Now you must take the lead. When we think of the 7.7 billion people of the world, we cannot turn a blind eye to the children whom the Heavenly Parent wants to embrace. I sincerely hope that you will become the righteous people, clergymen, clergywomen and other leaders, who can guide people to become Heavenly Parent’s children in the shortest possible time. In so doing, please remember that the founding of the World Clergy Leadership Conference, which will bring your individual foundations into unity, is the way to realize Heavenly Parent’s dream and humankind’s hope in the shortest time. I pray that you will all become the righteous people and religious leaders standing in the vanguard and that you will not look back, but run forward.”

True Mother USA – Peace Starts With Me (Zoom Rally of Hope) “…Two thousand years ago, Heaven chose a victorious son who could fulfill the ideal of creation. Yet Jesus Christ was not recognized. The foundation laid for Jesus Christ to fulfill his responsibility was taken from him.Ultimately, Christ walked the path of the cross, prophesying that ‘I will come again.’ …For a long time, Christians have been waiting for Christ’s return. However, the essence of Jesus and the identity of God, the Creator, remains elusive. …Please understand that the desire of God, the Creator, was to dwell as our Heavenly Parent with the first ancestors who were to have reached spiritual maturity on earth. In other words, God’s wish was to build the kingdom of heaven on earth together with human beings. However, our first ancestors, tasked with becoming victorious in cooperation with God, could not fulfill God’s Will. “During the 2,000-year history of Christianity, Heaven has worked to establish without fail, the foundation for the realization of God’s Principle of Creation. Hence, since Jesus prophesied that he would come again to host the ‘Marriage Supper of the Lamb,’ the Christian cultural realm must find the only begotten Daughter who will stand as the bride of the returning Christ. Knowing that the providence could no longer wait, and in order to lay the foundation for the returning Messiah, Heaven granted the founding of a new nation that could unite nations divided from each other. That nation is today’s United States of America. “…During World War II, America played a central role in the victory of the Allied Forces. However, the role of Korea in God’s providence and plan remained a mystery. Had God’s unfolding plan been known and had Heaven’s voice been heard, the Korean Peninsula would today not be divided into North and South. In other words, God blessed America but that nation could not fulfill its mandate. Nevertheless, God has continued to bless the United States. After World War II, America faced serious challenges: breakdown of the family, drug problems, and a loss of direction for the youth. Aware of Heaven’s Will, the True Parents came to America in 1971 to revive and re-awaken this nation to its central mission of embracing humanity and leading it back to Heaven. True Parents prayed in desperation, imploring God not to turn his back on America. “Around that time, many young Americans, inspired by True Parents’ teachings, went out to the world as missionaries. Many are still active today in their mission nations. “Today, I would like to warn America. God blessed America and America must therefore fulfill its responsibility. America cannot repeat the mistake of going against Heaven’s will. …America’s politicians need to provide answers. …I believe the time has come for America, especially for the American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC) — America’s Christian ministers — to take a stand for peace. Many things happened during the 40 years of True Parents’ ministry in America. When my husband was unjustly accused, religious leaders formed a “common suffering fellowship” in support of religious freedom. “In particular, former United States Senator Orrin Hatch is supporting religious freedom and True Parents’ work even since he retired from office. I understand that he even filed

a petition to former President Trump stating that the investigation of Rev. Moon in the United States was flawed.

“Thanks to the support of righteous people, I am encouraged in my work to reawaken America to the spirit of its founding fathers and embrace heavenly values. The path to resolving the critical challenges facing today’s world lies in understanding God’s wish to be the Parent of humanity. In other words, humanity should attend our Creator as our Heavenly Parent. To do so, I strongly encourage everyone to embrace the True Family Movement. Through this movement, humanity can receive True Parents’ Marriage Blessing and be born again as Heavenly Parent’s children. This the key to America’s revival and the revival of the world. “I invite all ACLC clergy, and everyone related on the path of God’s will, to become substantial messiahs to their extended families and tribes. Please fully invest yourselves so that all citizens of America can become Blessed Families. To support this effort, the New Yorker Hotel, located in New York, the economic capital of the world, will be completely renovated. It will become a center for peace, an educational landmark where leaders from around the world will gather and be inspired to dedicate themselves to practicing true love and the cause of the true family values movement. My husband and I also invested in Washington D.C., the modern-day capital of the world. “At a time, when the threat of communism was real, True Parents invested significant sums of money and founded The Washington Times. The Washington Times became a reference for American presidents, including President Reagan. The aim of the Times has been to inform American leaders on how to defend America and, as a nation blessed by God, how America can live for the sake of the world. This is why I wish to strengthen the presence of The Washington Times in the heart of D.C. so that the paper can forge stronger ties with American leadership; but also for the Times to become a landmark that visiting foreign dignitaries will want to visit and gain understanding and inspiration. This is not just for the sake of America. America is uniquely placed to become a beacon of hope for all people, who are like orphans who do not know their parent. To do so, and to make a fresh start, leaving behind four hundred years of suffering and atonement, I wish to usher in a new springtime of God’s providence. “The buildings I mentioned will become symbolic seeds of true love sowed for the sake of America and the world. …Already, such an environment is being created in Korea. The Cheon Il Sanctum will be a unique place for us to attend our Heavenly Parent, the first such place in six thousand years. Let us go forward together towards the day Heavenly Parent’s special abode is dedicated. “May all citizens of the world join in this initiative with joyful hearts of gratitude. I would like to conclude today’s message by calling on America, a nation blessed and raised by Heavenly Parent for the past 400 years, to fulfill its mission as the providential eldest son nation.”

Excerpts from Mother’s May 11 presentation at the House of Parliament (Palace of Westminster) (Anthology vol. 3, pp. 242 ff.):

Throughout his life, my husband has offered himself for the liberation of God, the one and only True Parent of Heaven and Earth, to restore to Him His rightful position as Parent, to save all human beings who suffer in the realm of death, and to return them to God’s bosom.

All people without exception must receive new life through the marriage Blessing from True Parents and pass through the three stages of rebirth, resurrection and eternal life. Rebirth, in this context, refers to an individual attaining new life. Resurrection is when a family and nation attain new life, and eternal life refers to all of humankind attaining perfection and living forever in God’s homeland after 70 of 88

establishing the kingdom of heaven on earth and in the spirit world by attending True Parents, the king and queen of peace.

Your ancestors who are in the spirit world shall now return to earth at this time of the True Parents, who directly govern all life and all things as the substantial entity of God who exists without form. They will go through the three-stage blessings of rebirth, resurrection and eternal life and complete the Original Divine Principle education—the education on absolute marital fidelity—organized by True Parents. Only then can they take part in the original authority granted by the Seonghwa— ascension and liberation—and attain the qualifications to become citizens of Cheon Il Guk while on earth.

Ladies and gentlemen, the word death is sacred. It is not a noun of sadness and suffering. True Parents have created the term Seonghwa [ascension] to explain the true significance of death.…It should be a time for great celebration. …At the moment of death, our spirits should feel more excited and thrilled than a newly- wed bride feels when she goes to her groom’s home for the first time.

In order to open the door for all people to experience this kind of precious eternal life, my husband and I held a Seonghwa Ceremony at the United Nations headquarters in New York on March 18 last year in honor of world leaders who had recently passed into the next world.

However altruistic and philanthropic people’s lives may be, none of them can be guaranteed entry into the world of eternal life without receiving the marriage Blessing and the Seonghwa Blessing of the True Parents. This is because the parent-child relationship between God and humankind was severed due to the Fall of the first ancestors.

Please do not forget that the Seonghwa Blessing Ceremony is a sacred rite through which anyone can inherit the worldview of a holy citizen of the kingdom of heaven and celebrate God’s liberation and all humankind’s liberation.

Once the substantial era of Cheon Il Guk begins, the spiritual and earthly worlds will be connected and brought into oneness, and all things will be governed under the Association to Connect the Earth to the Spirit World, …Moreover, the providence will be carried out according to heavenly law and the heavenly way. Elections conducted in a purely secular fashion will disappear from the face of the earth.

You should now set up the hoondokhae study tradition in your families using the books I have mentioned.

Ladies and gentlemen, in 2010 in Las Vegas, there was a special proclamation centered on God that was given by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind on two separate days …The True Parents have achieved ultimate unity and offered and proclaimed the era of God’s full transcendence, full immanence, full authority and omnipotence upon the standard of perfection, completion and conclusion.

Heaven has permitted the grace of the authority of Seonghwa for rebirth and resurrection to be bestowed on the family unit. Here, a requisite condition is the complete unity between parents and children.

Recently, control of The Washington Times, which had been taken from my hands by people of a communist mindset, through trickery, has now been taken back.

In this world, atheism and communism, which deny the existence of God, will be discarded, paving the way to building the world that God originally envisioned, where all people can freely communicate in harmony. 71 of 88

The historical conflict and strife experienced by the four great representative kings—that is to say, the God of Night, the God of Day, the King of Kings, and True Parent—and which arose because the first ancestors fell, has finally been completely resolved by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. A world where all people are equal and all nations become like brother nations to create one family under God is being created right before your eyes. Sept 22, 2011 to 172 American Clergy, in Korea:

“My speech book and yours should be the same. You need to share your book with 12 churches and 12 tribes for the heavenly nation to come. You need to use the same book as mine, the same places underlined and the same places circled.

“We need to educate 13,000 people from each nation with the Original Substantial Divine Principle material. The Original Substantial Divine Principle is the teaching of the era after the coming of heaven, a time of the reign of peace. .

“We do not know what Heaven will look like but it must be built first on earth.”

“(Mother sent a message on paper reminding Father that the pastors have to go to the DMZ.)”

“In the Garden of Eden no one would send this kind of message to Father. He smiled and tore up the paper. Father said we need to be together for at least one more hour. God has no concept of time or space so if someone needs money I can give it to them 170 years later. If something is missing it is in the spirit world. Can you understand that?

“There are so many things that I say that you cannot understand. You need to take these words and share them with others. Should I speak with you more or should I let you go? I could not sleep last night because I knew that you were about to go. I am most afraid of my own words because what I say comes true. I finished my main work in 1972 but I have continued.

“We need to become unchanging sons and daughters who are in a harmonious relationship with Father.

“I have loved you more than my relatives, more than my children. In the early years I never bought a gift for my relatives of children because I only focused on you. My mother would buy me gifts but I never bought her a gift. This was the course I had to take.

“God does not need actors, He just needs one spouse. Jesus could not have or be a spouse. I am still restoring the position of the spouse.

In the future governments will purchase the textbooks for their nations. America should become a nation that prepares the textbooks for all children. This will make America a heavenly nation.

“The ancestors that have gone through Cheong Pyeong will be guiding and helping you.

Your position as husbands and wives will become clear in 2013. I will allow for special dispensations at that time. You should use all your resources for the sake of others and for the sake of God. (Notes by Michael Lamson http:// www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon11/SunMyungMoon-110922.htm)

October 5. Kickoff Rally for Registration in God’s Fatherland, Rio Hotel, Las Vegas

“First, all blessed families should attend God at the center of their families and every day carry out Hoondok [scripture reading] education,

“Second, Heaven has permitted the grace of the authority of Seonghwa [funeral ritual] for rebirth and resurrection to be bestowed on the family unit.

“Third, …we all have the responsibility to liberate families, tribes, peoples, nations and the world from the authority of hell. …The reign of tranquility and prosperity in the victorious authority centered on God and True Parents shall be eternal.

“Fourth, we are now entering the era of the authority of God’s direct dominion. Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that less than three years remain until the ‘D- day’ proclaimed by Heaven. …eight generations will live together in a single family.” https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon11/ SunMyungMoon-111005a.pdf

Dreams True Father Wanted to Fulfill

“I want to solve all kinds of problems while I am here.” (1982.7.1)

“I fought with the spirit world and was victorious on the individual level.” (1963.10.16)

“…before I die, I wish to unite the world and return to my homeland. …That is all I wish for.”(1986.3.2)

“Before I go to the spirit world, I have to arrange it so that no trace of the Fall remains on earth.” (1999.5.14)

“…I cannot die until I hear God’s own voice say, ‘Welcome!’ as He runs down a stairway of a hundred thousand steps as if He is flying, wraps His arms around me, then climbs back up the forever-long stairway to return to His throne, carrying me in His arms and announcing, ‘My Will has been accomplished! Aju!’” (2003.1.31)

“My lifelong cherished desire has been this: ‘Shouldn’t I be able to die in God’s ideal nation where God can protect me? If I do not bring this about during my lifetime, then will not my life have been a miserable one? I must establish this nation before I die and live there, even if only for a single day.’”ㅤ(2003.2.5)

“I am still working for God and humanity. But someday … I will come again to visit your grave with the sound of utmost joy around from North and South Korea. That was my promise in front of the tombstone. I will surely keep my commitment to them before my death.” (2002.4.28)

“When I stood before the grave of my late mother, I was on the verge of serious tears. I cannot shed tears in the satanic world. I get used to enduring. I had been well trained. I am a man who is longing for the day that I can weep deeply, ‘Mother!’ at the time of visiting her grave after the reunification of the North and the South. It is necessary to carry out this dream before I die.” (1993.1.1)

“I cannot forget that I kicked out my mother before her very eyes when she came crying all the way to the prison just to see me once. When I went to North Korea, I should not shed tears in front of such a mother’s grave. ‘Mother, I decided to come and serve and attend you after I restored the country. Once I accomplish it, I will serve you, Mother.’ My older sister and younger sister wept loudly, but I kept myself from crying out, even as my breast was being torn apart.” (1994.11.3)

“My retrospective sorrow lies in not having established the foundation of loyalty before God by comprising three generations together with my parents and grandparents. Think about how wonderful it would be to have three generations

united in one heart and discussing what they should do for God’s Will.” (Rev. Moon’s Philosophy of Education, p. 140, 1970.11.15)

True Father’s Suffering

The blessed central families seemed to be far from fulfilling their mission as the children by Foundation Day, while True Father was promising God that he would bring the victory before Foundation Day. That made him feel desperate, and he was suffering day and night.

Dec 10, 2011:

“One must receive the royal seals of father and mother. There will be the final Blessing ceremony of True Parents, which is the third one. Why do all of you need to participate at parents’ Blessing ceremony? To receive Father’s royal seal and Mother’s royal seal. You don’t know yet but Mother’s royal seal was made (too).” (“God is a spirit and has no body,” Hoon Dok Hae, Cheon Jeong Gung on 11.16 by the H.C.) https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/ SunMyungMoon11/SunMyungMoon-111210.htm

December 11, 2011 Rev. Kachi sees the “embodiment of the Word” proclamation concluding with the “Declaration of Final Victory” on December 11, 2011:

”By letting all things in heaven and earth focus on this particular place and moment, while the Creator, God, found the Original standard of Creation, we declare the perfection, conclusion and completion of all the providences and the final victory. ”

Annual motto: “Era of the victory, liberation and completion of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind”

January 8–15 Rallies to support the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind in their efforts to unify the Korean Peninsula and bring world peace

Here’s what Father immediately said after speaking those words:

“One nation and two human beings. Two people, True Parents, are united as one. That is why the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind can settle. Everything can be done. The title, ‘The Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind,’ says it all.

“It means that as long as you were born as sons and daughters in the same lineage, by following my tradition, you must attend the Parents, Mother and Father, as the number one people in heaven and on earth.”

January 19—Feb 24, 2012 (Kachi, pp. 139-40) Reprimanding Kook-Jin Nim and Hyung- Jin Nim. On January 19, 2012, True Father scolded True Mother, because Kook-Jin Nim and Hyung-Jin Nim, whom True Mother set up as leaders, rebelled against True Father’s wishes over the Holy Wedding Ceremony. To deal with this mistake, True Father held a special ceremony by setting up True Mother as the center.

”When True Mother stands in front, all you have to do is just obey True Mother and follow her footsteps. It would become such an easy matter. … We have entirely unified the world and formed the realm of oneness on heaven and earth, with the whole world as one together with True Parents and with True Children. We have successfully set up this condition as of today; I bless this condition.” (2012.1.19)

”Neither Kook-Jin nor Hyung-Jin is the highest ranking person in our church. They are also caught up, in a way, if they do something without my approval. I have the one to report to behind me. Who is that? It was the one who put the commandment before the Fall “not to eat the fruit of good and evil in the garden of Eden.” (2012.2.21)

”I have 14 sons and daughters, but they are all similar, internally and externally. Their hands, hair, and even the personality are identical. They won’t respond to others’ advice, suggestions or anything. How indomitable? Sun-Jin represents it. Kook-Jin, Hyung-Jin, and their children, too. No one can give them any pieces of advice.” (2012.2.24, Day of Victory of Love)

“Special Declaration” on April 24, 2012, Cheon Hwa Gung, Las Vegas. (See Kachi, pp. 136-7):

“With gratitude for all the toil we, both myself and Mother, went through by following your will, I want to offer all of the procedures in order as a memorial occasion in front of heaven. …We, after completion of True Parents of Heaven and Earth, show appreciation to you, the God of night, God of day, for raising us up and letting us stand in the position of completion. Since we worship and attend you, the Original Absolute Parent and Creator, with pledging heart and holding each other’s hands at this moment, please accept all of this from your throne of heaven… Since we will offer final completion and conclusion of the “Cosmic Assemblies for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind Who, as God’s Embodiment, Proclaim the Word,” please receive this.”

July 16 Inauguration of the Abel Women’s UN (True Father last public address) Cheongshim Peace World Center, Cheongpyeong

True Father’s address (including extemporaneous remarks found at https://tparents.org/ Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon12/SunMyungMoon-120716.htm) [PHG 6-13]

In his speech at the founding of the Abel Women’s UN, Reverend Moon stated that,

“Centering on true love, …Men and women are absolutely equal in terms of value. …Men and women who unite through the true love inherent in the original ideal share the same position. Also, they attain the right to accompany each other wherever they may be.”

“Furthermore, [men and women] attain the ideal right of inheritance, where all their property belongs to each equally.”

Reverend Moon articulated the natural conclusion:

“When the original love unites men and women in God’s ideal of true love, they become completely equal beings, focused on true love, by sharing the same rank and the right of participation and their possessions with one another.”

This path to peace that Rev. Moon outlined for the Abel Women’s UN, is not based upon legalism and technology, but

“true motherly love …establishing families that embody true love and elevate the status of mothers, wives, sisters and daughters.”

This indicates that

“Women need to play a major role in world history by serving, together with men, as one of the wheels of the vehicle pulling forward the construction of a peaceful world.” 75 of 88

“God’s intention,” Rev. Moon said in 1958, “is to establish the form of a four position foundation, centered on the bride.” And now, in 2012, his conclusion was the same:

“Women will be the central axis in building a new century characterized by its loving, peaceful culture.”

He proceeded to present how this applies to his wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon. He first recalled Dr Moon’s words in her address at the 1992 inauguration of the Women’s Federation for World Peace:

“Under True Mother as the victorious representative of the world’s women, women can establish now the model of a true mother and true wife and form ideal families through a true love movement. Furthermore, women can carry out a campaign to exemplify the practice of true love by living for the sake of others in all walks of life, including politics, economics, culture and social work.”

Rev. Moon endorsed the Women’s Federation as the God-centered peace movement based upon the Principle and God’s providence:

“It is a global peace movement on a whole new level with the providential significance of realizing the ideal world as God envisioned it at the Creation. [It is grounded in] the worldview of one family under God, [which consists of ideals that] represent the path that will lead humanity to a world of everlasting peace and happiness.”

He shared that he discovered this worldview not by himself, but together with his wife:

“It is the system of thought based on true love that my wife and I, the True Parents, have learned from Heaven.”

WFWP’s “service projects and education programs,” Rev. Moon explained, have been carried out “in the context of such providential significance.” Countless organizations carry out service and educational projects, but WFWP is unique in that it alone is

“based on true motherly love …establishing families that embody true love” and automatically “elevate the status of mothers, wives, sisters and daughters.”

That is True Parents’ core strategy for peace, and what makes it revolutionary is that they call the world to put it into practice through the Holy Marriage Blessing movement. Rev. Moon then uplifted Dr. Moon as the exemplar to lead the world into this hopeful future:

“I sincerely ask you to choose True Mother’s path, the path of a true wife, of a true daughter and of a true woman leader who will build a unified world where freedom, peace and happiness overflow.”

Then Reverend Moon called us to unite the spiritual and physical worlds, he stated that Heaven had proclaimed the date of Foundation Day.

“We are living in a historic time …to unite the spiritual and physical worlds … Heaven has already proclaimed that the thirteenth day of the first month in 2013 by the lunar calendar will be its Foundation Day.”

And he linked Foundation Day to the new organization:

“We have Foundation Day, D-Day… We now have less than a year. Heaven will bless your endeavors to establish a world of peace based on the Abel Women’s United Nations.”

As he said this, Rev. Moon extemporaneously proclaimed the centrality of Heavenly

“There have been many religions which believed in Heavenly Father but don’t have a concept of Heavenly Mother. That has been a shameful fact. We haven’t had ‘mother.’ People have said ‘Heavenly Father,’ but who can fix the problems among religions and restore the authority of the country?”

He tied this all together centering on his wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon:

“We must define what it is to be True Mother and True Wife through attending True Mother… I will put Mother in the position of the wife of Adam who represents the Creator, I have been recreating Mother throughout my life so that I can present her in front of the whole world with such a status, even if they strongly oppose it.”

…and stated the Abel Women’s UN mission:

“creating a true family movement that emphasizes living for the sake of others …in conjunction with education in proper values.”

Father’s Final Offering of His Life

”Since he was born with a healthy body, if Father had taken care of himself, he could have lived a long life. During the last few years, however, he would say that each day felt like a thousand years; that was how busy he was. He really did not want to go to the hospital at this time, and since he was in charge of everything, I could not help him in any way. …He continued to live a difficult life.”(True Mother, 2012.9.23)

August 3, 2012

”After leaving the hospital, during the one day he stayed in Cheon Jeong Gung, Father told his assistants, ‘I want to eat with Mother today.’ I usually sat next to him during meals, but on that day he said, ‘I want to eat sitting face to face with Mother, so I can see her face.’ So, we set the table accordingly. However, Father stared at my face for a long time instead of eating. I believe he was engraving my face in his heart. I felt tears welling up inside of me, but on the outside I maintained a smiling face and asked him to try this dish or that, saying to him, ‘This one is quite good, and that is also delicious.

“After that experience, I became more serious than ever, and I strongly wanted to convince him to take a nap. He, however, pressed his staff members to accompany him as he hurriedly visited various parts of Cheon Jeong Gung. August 13 was an extremely sunny day. Despite the hot sun, and even though he had to be accompanied by an oxygen tank almost as tall as a man, he insisted on looking around the palace. Father did a tour of Cheon Jeong Gung. He visited the Cheong Shim Middle and High Schools and the nearby small park and drove around the Cheong Shim Peace World Center and the Cheongpyeong training center.

He then came and sat in the sitting room in Cheon Jeong Gung and asked for a digital recorder. Holding the recorder in his hand, Father thought deeply for about ten minutes and then spoke while recording what he said. As you may know from having heard his recorded voice, Father gave the same message three times on that day — in the sitting room, in the master bedroom, and in Cheong Shim Hospital. He said, “Everything is done! Everything is done!” He then went on to pray, struggling for breath, “I will return everything back to Heaven.” He emphasized, “I have brought things to a conclusion, completion, and perfection.” And he took my hand and said, “Mother, thank you! Mother, please take care of things!” What meaning can be attributed to his uttering such words? Now and then, he said such things as “The time has come for me to go. I know when I will pass away.” I am sure that during this time he was making his final preparations. What I am relating to you is only a small part of what happened before Father ascended; in truth, I experienced much more with Father during those days. When we had our meals, we usually sat next to each other, and he would be aware of my presence and would hold my hand firmly in his as he 77 of 88

ate. Whenever I think about such things, I am very sorry, and it hurts my heart to think that I let him go without making him more comfortable.

When I asked him to rest, he sometimes said, “I want to lay my head in your lap, Mother,” and would take a very short nap. Of late, he did things he had never done when he was healthy. Father, who had lived his whole life more energetically than anyone else, wished to stay close to me at all times when he became less well, and needed me and depended on me like a child does his mother.” (True Mother, 2012.9.23)

2012.6.26 by the Heavenly Calendar (8.13 SC) The final official proclamation of his earthly life:

“I have completed everything. Today, as I have returned the conclusion of the final perfection to You, Father, I know that up to this moment, I have offered my whole life to You. I am spending this time now to bring my life to its conclusion, to bring it to a close with utmost devotion, in accordance with Your Will. … I declare that if … the tribal messiahs are able to fulfill the calling of national representatives, everything will be brought to a conclusion. I have accomplished everything for this. I have completed everything. Aju!”

True Mother’s “Promise to True Father”

“I made a promise to Father that no matter how difficult it is to fulfill the Will, I will bring it to a conclusion in my lifetime. I told him that I will accomplish God’s purpose of creation and the ideal world of creation. I said that I will accomplish this by all means. To do that, I am determined not to change. The day when Father went to the hospital, he told me how very thankful he was to me. He said he was so sorry and so thankful to me. I want to accomplish the Will that he left for us to fulfill, together with all of you. I hope that as we go along the path, none of you become sons and daughters who fall away.” (True Mother, 2012.9.5)

Our mission after True Father’s Seonghwa

“I cannot always pull you along. What will you do when I am no longer around?” (1979.4.15)

“My desire for you is that you love God first before you love me. … Hence, you should not be sad when I leave home to travel for tens of thousands of miles on a pilgrimage to love God. All of you must love God and humankind before loving me.” (1969.2.2)

Returning resurrection after True Father’s Seonghwa

“I will die someday, but it doesn’t matter because I can continue to work in the spirit world. I will have opened the way to help those who suffer most, after I go to spirit world. I can be in a position to assist those who are suffering here on earth, because by my suffering I will have set the condition. You see, in the spirit world those in history who suffered the most in the name of God occupy the central positions. I intend to outdo or surpass the suffering of all the past saints, so as to not only dwell among them but rise up above them, so that together we can liberate the suffering souls of the world more quickly. It’s all a part of heavenly strategy. … The work will never stop, whether I am here on earth or up in Heaven. …Even after my death, as a spirit man I will continuously appear and lead you in the same tradition, the same way of life, until we have achieved the perfect Kingdom of God here on earth.” (1976.9.20)

“If you pray that you truly desire to meet True Father while tears flow from your face, True Father will spiritually appear before you and will tell you everything. Even if you are alone in a room, True Father will just enter to be with you, like he would physically. Normally you cannot tell if he is spiritual or physical; you will have no idea. In Korea, there are many who are like this; they greet True Father early in the morning, “True Father, why did you leave last night? It wasn’t even midnight. Something good happened, if only you had stayed a

bit longer.” … That is because they mistook him, who was spiritually present, to be physically there.” (1970.11.26)

“Even if I die, I will go to the spiritual world to guide you on earth.” (2010.8.16)

True Father’s comments on his true legacy

“I am proclaiming this today before you leave, because today is a day of commemorating the third anniversary. God should take the lead in the providential world and in making providential history. I will move to the rear now. If there is anything to praise, it is not me. The name, ‘Rev. Moon,’ should be erased. The name ‘Rev. Moon’ is associated with the opposition I faced, isn’t it? …Next are the True Parents! To understand the title ‘True Parents,’ the unnecessary terms ‘Savior,’ ‘Messiah,’ and ‘Lord at his second coming,’ were attached to it during the course of restoration. Those superfluous titles should all be removed.” (May 5, 2007, Third Anniversary of Sang Hab Ship Seung Il, Cheon Jung Gung, Cheongpyeong, Korea, “The Era When God Will Be At The Forefront Of The Providence And Guide It” https://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon07/ SunMyungMoon-070504.htm)

“Those thinking of joining the Unification Church for their personal benefit need not bother to apply. We come to the Unification Church in order to be of benefit to the nation. That is my belief. I do not want you to love me. That is not what I want. You must first love God and humanity. Only then may you love me. That is the essential teaching of Unificationism. There is no other way for us. I have been trained that way myself.” (Rev. Moon’s Philosophy of Education, pp. 269-70, 1971.10.17)

I have no ambition to become famous in the world. I have offered this kind of thing to Heaven. In my daily life I don’t have any such an idea in my mind. Rather, I feel that I am just a worker. I have left it up to God whether or not He blesses Unification Church. It is His business. You have to become a person of such pure heart; you have to be disinterested in this sense. (Home Church, p. 462)

You have to love your 360 homes with your whole heart, and more than you love me. . . . This is the standard. If you do, the same angelic world that supported me in winning worldwide victory will praise you. My teaching is, “Love your 360 homes more than you love me.” You don’t need to worry about me anymore. Say, “Father, you don’t need to come here for many years because I found someone whom I love more than you. I don’t need you anymore.” That is fine. I will not complain, even if I am a stepping stone for all mankind. Instead, I will feel more hopeful. (Home Church, p. 465)

“(To True Grandchildren) When you start your family, you need to lead a public life. You also should be financially independent. Where is Hyung Jin? (To Hyung Jin Nim) You should give good education to the 3rd gens so that they can be a plus to the church without being indebted to it. “In Korea, The World Unification Peace Academy, which is for training young leaders, was established. Students will study theology for two years and then they must dedicate themselves as church leaders for three years. … “3rd generations of the True Family must do the same and do more. You should lead a public life and must not be indebted to anybody. Do you understand? You as True Grandchildren should become role models. Hyung Jin, the international president, will educate you from now on. Your grandmother (True Mother), being in charge now, will correct things from now on. Without establishing tradition, we will face chaos.

“Firstly, you should study hard and stand on your own two feet. You should become persons who give aid to others first before receiving it first. “The reason why I told all families to have Hoon Dok Hae by themselves is because parents were always in the front line in the past and came to the meeting leaving their children at their homes. As a result there had been problems in educating the 2nd gen. I would say the 2nd gen have grown only by themselves. But now we are in the era of 안착, 정착 (safe arrival, firm settlement), and so we should have internal stability, starting with an education for the 2nd gen in their homes. I think of a talk by an LDS father-daughter team. The daughter said that anything that takes your parents away, is your enemy. If a bar takes them away, the bar is your enemy. If the church takes them away, the church is your enemy. “When parents have a public mission, they do it after having Hoon Dok Hae with their children. But your grandfather (True Father) liked to have meetings and so we always got together but grandmother (True Mother) thinks that each family must be strong first educating the 2nd gens. That’s why I said to have Hoon Dok Hae with one’s family. … You should educate your children well. The parents’ responsibility is huge. “It has been the history of 60 years since HSA-UWC was established. Father spent 20 years in Korea and 40 years in the US, but we have such little results here. It is the same in Korea. Father’s goal doesn’t match the reality we have here. Father worked on many external things for the sake of the world so that people would come to know us as quick as possible, but it didn’t work well. Those who were responsible as church leaders should have made efforts 120%, but they couldn’t match what Father expected. Father was alone and nobody could be in accord with him. To form a common base and then enter into interaction are important words in Divine Principle. Who was in accord with Father’s request? Father is so sad after he went to the spirit world. He said, ‘I trusted them, but I didn’t know they only had such little results.’ “I also said this. We couldn’t attend Father, who came as the Savior and the Messiah of the Second Coming. We couldn’t even attend him as if he were the president of a big company, for example. It is really shameful. That’s why I said we should repent, and furthermore, we should reestablish ourselves. We should restart with gratitude that Father didn’t throw us away. “We have to change the way we think and empty our minds. You should become happy people with overflowing feelings of gratitude, and then you could share your happiness with others. But instead, you had shared worries and frustrations, and how can we expect any results from doing that? True Mother’s tour also included a speech at Manhattan Center on the same day. These excerpts appear in 2CSG: “True Father worked day and night without rest throughout his entire life. I also have not slept more than three hours a day since I began attending him. As a result, we were tired all throughout the day. Now, True Father has gone to the spirit world. …I imagine he does not have time to sleep.” (12-4-3-14) “In the history of the providence, failures of central figures or chosen people to fulfill their responsibility have been followed without exception by indemnity. …Our eternal homeland is Korea, but he invested more in America. It is because he was thinking about all humanity. The great blessing that America has received as the elder-son nation means it has the responsibility to gather the brothers and sisters and bring them to the parents.” (12-4-3-30) “When it comes to educating and raising children, the mother has to be stronger than the father. …Women have the responsibility to march at the front, organize and handle everything, and help the men.” (12-4-3-34) 80 of 88

True Mother’s only assessment, to my knowledge, is that her sons lack the maturity necessary to be a leader. Members in general look forward to their return to True Parents.

“Even a good seed has difficulty bearing good fruit when surrounded by an evil environment. The same is true of human beings. For humanity as a whole to be good, it is first necessary that each individual be good. However, for such individuals to bear good fruit, we must create a good environment in the nation and world.” (“God is the Origin of Peace,” August 10 - Sept 30, 2002 speaking tour, Anthology, vol. 3, p. 14)

“True Father and I offered three generations as a True Family to God, culminating when we with all of our children, their spouses and our adult grandchildren, taught God’s word and ministered the Blessing in 180 nations, in what we call the Jubilee Years. I risked my life to bring our children into the world, and now they have their own missions and responsibilities that Heaven wishes them to fulfill, and that I also hope they can accomplish. Although, as their parent, I may be unable to help them enough, I pray for them every day.” (Mother of Peace)

The Providence in America and the Role of Representatives November 30, 2016

Global Launch of the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace Kennedy Caucus Room of the USA’s Russell Senate Office Building, Washington DC

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, since the proposal of IAPP at the beginning of this year, in Seoul, Korea, we have succeeded in inaugurating IAPPs, beginning from Asia, continuing to West Africa, Europe, Central America, South America and back to East Africa before we came to meet here today in Washington DC. …We must begin a movement in which our families, our nations and the world attend God, the original owner of the universe.

…The original Creator, God, created all things in the cosmos; he created the animal world and last he created Adam and Eve,

In the end, the first human ancestors, who should have been the True Parents, fell and became false parents who began to multiply, which became all humankind.

God had no choice but to go through a very lonely and difficult course, the historical providence. …God sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. …Fallen human beings could not immediately come into Heaven’s presence. …God’s wish was for the lost True Parent of humankind to be regained. That person was the Messiah, the Savior.

The people around Jesus, who should have fulfilled their responsibilities, did not fulfill them. …Jesus had to follow the way of the cross, saying he would return …to hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. Those words meant that Jesus had not been able to be in the position of a True Parent, therefore the returning Messiah, must absolutely be and go forward as the True Parent. We can look at the two thousand years of the providential history under Christianity, as the providential period to establish the position of the only begotten daughter of God.

As part of Heaven’s historical providence to send the returning Lord, Heaven especially chose this nation. …Rev. Moon …knew Heaven’s providential plans for America.…

We spent a period of forty some years here in America. This was so that America could build the foundation for the True Parents [to] embrace the world as one, thereby becoming one family under God and achieving God’s great dream.

Rev. Moon nurtured The Washington Times and informed America through it. He enlightened the conservative world. Rev. Moon did this because he hoped that America, from the viewpoint of Heaven’s providence, would survive and become a nation that would achieve God’s dream.

…God gave humankind responsibilities, and from among humankind, a person that can be the True Parent must emerge. …human power alone cannot possibly solve all the … problems that are occurring all around the world. …Fallen human beings in the world, wild olive trees, can only become true olive trees through True Parents. Therefore, the person that humankind absolutely needs today is the True Parent.

Legislators and other leaders in the United States and from around the world who have gathered here, …you [are] intermediaries who represent the people, so you must spread forth a movement that attends God in your family, society, nation and the world.

Mother committed to speaking when an area can generate an audience of 10,000 or more. In 2017 this took place in several cities in Korea and Japan, Vienna, Austria, Madison Square Garden (“Peace Starts with Me”) and the Seoul Olympic Soccer Stadium, an event dedicated to the unification of Korea.

The US movement had not sponsored a large-scale event for since the 1998 Blessing, but it mobilized well, united with Bishop Ki Hoon Kim, the continental director, and brought success. The key was the creation of the 2,000 (?) voice choir, and inclusion of singers and a choir director well-known in the Christian world.

True Mother could see that the Christian community remains the key to victory in the USA.

July 15, 2017, Madison Square Garden

“The realization of True Parents occurred in 1960. However, the Christian realm did not create an environment for them.

“In the meantime, America, blessed by Heaven, became sick and in 1972, True Parents came to the United States. Healing and restoring all the problems in America became a priority. Many righteous people and many young people followed Rev. Moon, but politicians who did not understand, tried to chase Rev. Moon out of America. …True Father endured incarceration in Danbury, and for forty years, he shed blood, sweat, and tears for America.

“America was supposed to take responsibility as a nation blessed in relation to Heaven’s providence, but it was suffering from so much individualism, family breakdown, and youth issues

[My husband] believed that the way to save America was the way to save the world; therefore, he told a famous professor of political science to declare the failure of communism. That was in 1985. What happened? Communism fell five years later. That was not all. True Parents brought three thousand young people from a communist environment, the Soviet Union, to the United States and taught them. As a result, these people were able to protect their nation from the threats of communism.

During that time, the Family Federation has established blessed families in more than a hundred and twenty nations.

“Fallen humankind cannot return to God. They need to receive engrafting by the True Parents who among all human beings, achieved victory.

“That day is not far away. True Parents blessed Korea and Japan as the central 82 of 88

nations of the providence and America as the eldest-son nation. These three nations need to unite and on the foundation of a revolution in the culture of heart, based on a heart of filial piety, we need to begin the era of the Pacific Rim civilization from Asia.

September 10, 2017: American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC) Luncheon held at the Cheon Jeong Gung in Korea.

Until now, many of you think, “I really know God,” but I do not believe that it is a level of knowledge that would satisfy God Himself.

…who has truly known the purpose of God’s creation and the purpose of God?… The reason why God gave human beings a portion of responsibility is because God wanted human beings to contribute to the realization of His Will. …The portion of responsibility given to Adam and Eve was to go through a period of growth with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience to God.

…God wanted them to receive His Blessing with God’s dominion allowing Adam and Eve to receive the Blessing. …God would be the first ancestor and be visible as the True Parent of humanity. That is the Principle of God’s creation.

…God’s Principle of Creation dictates that even among fallen human beings a perfected man and a perfected woman must appear and together they must receive the Blessing of God and fulfill God’s ideal of creation.

God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. …since God created one man and one woman, the only begotten Daughter was to be found.

…I could speak for hours but the conclusion is that the only begotten Daughter of God was born among the Korean people and the Only Begotten Daughter together with the Only Begotten Son who fulfills his responsibility will together hold the Holy Wedding of the Lamb, and they are the True Parents standing before you.

…when a particular individual or a nation fails to fulfill the heavenly mandate or responsibility, Heaven does not work with that person or nation again. The reason is that that person or nation which fails their responsibility must pay indemnity.

…please let go of old vestiges, take off the old clothes and wear the new clothes of truth.

March 16, 2018 True Mother’s speech Famicon 2018, IPEC, Las Vegas, Nevada …Now, I would like to ask you this question: where does the term trinity come from? … Originally, God created heaven and earth and he created all of Heaven and Earth in accordance with His Original Form. Thus, …[Heavenly Parent] created humankind as man and woman. The birth of any living organism does not begin with the male; birth is possible through the mother. Looking back at the creation of Heaven and Earth, if Heavenly Parent had the Holy Father, there was also the Holy Mother. Therefore, the current definition of the trinity is wrong. Within Heavenly Parent is the Holy Father and the Holy Mother, the True Parents. This is how Heavenly Parent should be explained. …in the era of Cheon Il Guk and in order to earn your qualifications as citizen of Cheon Il Guk, you must fulfill the mission of Heavenly Tribal Messiah. …Tribal Messiahship does not end with blessing 430 families. It is when all blessed 430 families also

each complete the blessing of 430 families that a national level foundation capable of expanding to the world can be established. …all of humanity yearns for the Messiah and the advent of the Messiah should at least take place at the national level. …what is more important than the Second Advent of the Messiah, is the advent of the Only Begotten Daughter who comes from Heaven’s lineage with no relation to Satan, just as Jesus did 2,000 years ago. Unless the Only Begotten Daughter is born, the returning Messiah cannot advance to the position of True Parent. In the gospel of Matthew, it is written that people can be forgiven for slandering the Messiah. However, whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven. … Whoever blasphemes the Only Begotten Daughter, True Mother, shall find no salvation. Regarding the members of the True Family, there have been some issues. They do not understand Heaven’s providence. One of them claims to be the eldest son. I do not know whether the concept of eldest son is as strong in western culture, but in eastern culture, in particular in Confucianism, the concept of eldest son [is strong.] The eldest son carries the family name. When the eldest son ascends to the spirit world, the second or third son does not become the eldest. The line continues with the son of the eldest son; it is that son’s responsibility. No matter how old the uncles may be, the ancestors should be attended by attending the eldest son’s son as the center. However, regarding Heaven’s providence, …There is no previous or future True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. This means, there can be no concept of inheritor or successor. With regards to carrying on the tradition of True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, the person standing in the position of eldest son can become a central figure in carrying on the tradition. In simple terms, this son stands in a position akin to the High Priest. There are High Priests in each nation; those among you who are responsible for a nation are the High Priests of that nation. However, regarding the providence as a whole, when it comes to establishing the tradition centering on True Parents, the eldest son’s line will carry this mission through the generations. Just as there is only one Heavenly Parent, there is only one True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. …there can be no confusion or side branches hampering us on the path we are taking; please understand that there is only one path. I have patiently waited and endured for a long time. I was born and grew as Heavenly Parent’s daughter. This is why even if no one taught me the Divine Principle, I knew Heaven’s providence. That is how I made a firm resolve at a young age. I became the subject [of the providence]. My thought was that I will realize Heavenly Parent’s dream during my lifetime. In the future, the Divine Principle will need many updates. What I mean is that theories from the Completed Testament Age do not suffice. I spoke to all of you that I would build and prepare a foundation that would enable all of humanity throughout the world to experience internally and externally the achievements of True Parents, agree with True Parents and understand easily their providence. Furthermore, how would the world of peace that Heavenly Parent and humanity yearn for look like? After resolving to make a model [for the world of peace] and expand this model, what happened to the Cheonwon Complex? You all came to Korea for True Parent’s Birthday celebrations didn’t you? Each year, the [Cheonwon Complex] will look different.

Nov 12, 2018 True Mother spoke at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, New York, declaring that Christian clergy who accept True Parents Blessing are the true owners of the nation. 84 of 88

From there into December she spoke and conducted the Blessing in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Nepal, with the support of national and religious leadership.

“Many Walls Exist All Over the World That We Must Overcome”

“You have enjoyed such grace so you must not become people who forsake that grace. The same goes for this nation. Therefore, True Parents established Korea, Japan, and America as the central nations to launching world peace. We have opened the era of the Pacific civilization and with this cultural revolution of the heart of Hyojeong, or Heart of Filial Piety, we are carrying out activities all over the world centering on our second- and third-generation members practicing true love for the sake of others.” http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/ HakJaHanMoon-18/HakJaHan-181112.pdf

Later in the day, True Mother spoke these words to a group of some 150 core ACLC clergy at a dinner:

“God raised this country as a democratic nation, which means that a single leader does not make the decisions, but that it considers the greater good and strives to have good policies and politics through public opinion.

“Today, the center of this nation is not the president. It is the ministers; you are the owners. The president changes every 5 years in this country, yet you are eternal. As owners, what should you do? You have [a portion of] responsibility. Owners should raise their children well by standing in the position of parents. Your children are your church members that you minister to. …you all must receive the Blessing and as a blessed family, you must bless your congregations. …if all the clergymen in America, a representative nation, upheld True Parents’ will and true families restored all believers? You are the owners of this nation.

“Please become true owners who attend Heavenly Parent and True Parents at the center. Then, you should not stop at this nation but you should bless all 7.6 billion people and become messiahs that guide them to becoming true children of Heavenly Parent.”

Nov 13, 2018 East Garden Breakfast Banquet (excerpt)

“That time has come and that is why True Parents came to this country and invested themselves for more than 40 years …Now, as the eldest son nation which has matured and received True Parents’ direction, America must take care of its brother and sister nations around the world.

“In order to do this, you must educate this democratic country’s president. …When pastors take good care of their church members and bless many families, their church will prosper and politicians will naturally follow them.

“That is why, yesterday, I told the religious leaders, ‘You are the owners of this nation.’ …What would happen if all these citizens were in blessed families through the true family movement? You would even be able to influence the president!” True Mother’s speech:

Creation, Fall, Jesus’ cross

…Once again humankind brought sadness to God that could not be atoned for. God had created a man and a woman in accordance with the principles of Creation. As Jesus went to the cross, he prophesied that he would come again. Today’s Christians, however, say that they are saved by the blood Jesus shed on the cross.

…”In 1945 Korea was liberated and in 1950 the Korean War broke out. …Like a miracle, Heaven sent sixteen UN member nations to come to protect democracy in the Republic of Korea.

“In 1960, when the time had come when I could decide by myself, by my own volition, I ascended to the position of True Parent.

“Fallen people yearn to return to God but they cannot go before God by themselves. …It is only through the Marriage Blessing of the unique True Parents that a change of lineage can take place and fallen human beings can be born again as God’s children. …the spirit of Christianity in Korea was stronger than in the rest of the world. …Koreans yearned for the Messiah. Because of such an earnest desire, Heaven sent our True Parents. …Yet, True Parents’ Marriage Blessings and the True Family Values Movement took root in an environment with Christian opposition and we have been continuing these around the world for almost fifty years. …All of you here that have received the Blessing today, please fulfill your responsibilities as tribal messiahs, and all ministers of religion participating today please go to your places of worship and accomplish your responsibilities.

…“Bishop Noel Jones, I ask you: please keep this flame alive.”

April 10, 2019: True Mother’s Words to the Japanese Supporters, IPEC, Las Vegas, USA

“I have found my son in the Islamic realm. Mansur, a supreme leader of Islam, is standing as my son, too. Now, they are preparing their followers to receive the Blessing.

“That is not all. A prophet named Radebe in the Republic of South Africa is inviting me to hold a Blessing ceremony for 10,000 people.

It is also happening in Europe and Asia. I hosted a summit in Nepal, too.

The Islamic realm, which is unable to unite with Christianity, accepted God’s only begotten daughter, True Mother.

“In the sleeping Christian realm, I have been declaring myself as ‘the only begotten daughter,’ starting from four years ago. At the Kennedy Caucus Room in Washington, D.C., I declared that I am the only begotten daughter and True Mother in front of many senators, and told them to unite with me.

“I made this declaration for the religious world, the political world, and the cultural world as well. There is no perfection in ignorance. Therefore, I teach people. However, it is their responsibility whether they accept it or not. Whether humanity will be able to go to Heaven through True Parents or not depends on each person fulfilling their responsibility. That is why I am making every effort in teaching all people that I am the only begotten daughter, True Mother, and True Parent. …You have to remove the old clothes from the past and change to new clothes in order to give hope for the future.

December 28, 2019: True Mother at the Prudential Center, Newark, NJ

“Peace Starts With Me Clergy Rally: A New Hope for a Heavenly Unified World”

“Christianity began with the resurrection given by the Holy Spirit, and with the Apostles’ writing of the Bible. However, Christianity and the Christians of today have not grasped Jesus’ true essence. They do not know what kind of being God, the Creator, is. Jesus clearly said that he would come again and hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. Hence, Christianity should not have formed many denominations. Instead, they should have watched closely for where the only begotten daughter, Jesus’ partner in marriage for the marriage supper of the Lamb, would appear. God could not send His only begotten daughter through the people of Israel, who did not fulfill their responsibilities. Therefore, He had to select a new chosen people and carry on the providence.

Jesus came as the True Father of humankind. He came as the True Father, so he was to meet the True Mother. God chose the Korean people, and in 1943 He sent the Only Begotten Daughter. Words cannot describe the effort God had to make to send the Only Begotten Daughter.

“Jesus Christ said he would come again. As I knew Heaven’s providence, I received the Marriage Blessing to Dr. Sun Myung Moon, who had come to continue the mission of Jesus, in our 1960 Holy Wedding.

“The Christian foundation should have become a supportive environment for the True Parents. …However, America did not know God’s Will.

“God did not bless America just for its own sake. He blessed America for the sake of the world. In the 1970s, however, the United States faced family breakdown, youth problems, drug problems and was unaware that the communist ideology was infiltrating its shores right under its nose.

The youth who came to know of God’s Will went out as missionaries to the world in 1975. For more than forty years, they invested in their mission countries. Thanks to their sincere devotion, God could work through righteous, prepared people in Africa to hold the Blessing with the potential for the restoration of the African continent.

“You should be able to embrace the nation and the world with true love, living for the sake of others, instead of living only for yourselves. This is what the True Mother, the Only Begotten Daughter, is doing. I am guiding fallen people to become Heavenly Parent’s children through the Blessing.

“True Mother, the Only Begotten Daughter, is guiding a new era and a new providence. This is the seventh year of Cheon Il Guk. Now you must take the lead. …please remember that the founding of the World Clergy Leadership Conference, which will bring your individual foundations into unity, is the way to realize Heavenly Parent’s dream and humankind’s hope in the shortest time. I pray that you will all become the righteous people and religious leaders standing in the vanguard and that you will not look back, but run forward.” 2021, June 5

True Mother USA – Peace Starts With Me (Zoom Rally of Hope) “Hence, since Jesus prophesied that he would come again to host the ‘Marriage Supper of the Lamb,’ the Christian cultural realm must find the only begotten Daughter who will stand as the bride of the returning Christ. Knowing that the providence could no longer wait, and in order to lay the foundation for the returning Messiah, Heaven granted the founding of a new nation that could unite nations divided from each other. That nation is today’s United States of America. “Had God’s unfolding plan been known and had Heaven’s voice been heard, the Korean Peninsula would today not be divided into North and South. In other words, God blessed America but that nation could not fulfill its mandate. Nevertheless, God has continued to bless the United States. After World War II, America faced serious challenges: breakdown of the family, drug problems, and a loss of direction for the youth. Aware of Heaven’s Will, the True Parents came to America in 1971. “Around that time, many young Americans, inspired by True Parents’ teachings, went out to the world as missionaries. Many are still active today in their mission nations. “Many things happened during the 40 years of True Parents’ ministry in America. When my husband was unjustly accused, religious leaders formed a “common suffering fellowship” in support of religious freedom.

“In particular, former United States Senator Orrin Hatch is supporting religious freedom and True Parents’ work even since he retired from office. I understand that he even filed a petition to former President Trump stating that the investigation of Rev. Moon in the United States was flawed.

“I strongly encourage everyone to embrace the True Family Movement. Through this movement, humanity can receive True Parents’ Marriage Blessing and be born again as Heavenly Parent’s children. This the key to America’s revival and the revival of the world. “I invite all ACLC clergy, and everyone related on the path of God’s will, to become substantial messiahs to their extended families and tribes. Please fully invest yourselves so that all citizens of America can become Blessed Families. To support this effort, the New Yorker Hotel, located in New York, the economic capital of the world, will be completely renovated. It will become a center for peace, an educational landmark where leaders from around the world will gather and be inspired to dedicate themselves to practicing true love and the cause of the true family values movement. My husband and I also invested in Washington D.C., the modern-day capital of the world. “I wish to strengthen the presence of The Washington Times in the heart of D.C. so that the paper can forge stronger ties with American leadership; but also for the Times to become a landmark that visiting foreign dignitaries will want to visit and gain understanding and inspiration. This is not just for the sake of America. America is uniquely placed to become a beacon of hope for all people, who are like orphans who do not know their parent. “The buildings I mentioned will become symbolic seeds of true love sowed for the sake of America and the world.”
