The History Compilation Committee has been digitizing old recordings. In the course of their work, they discovered an audio recording of a statement by True Mother and True Father’s prayer and message at their Holy Wedding fifty four years ago. This is a translated transcript of that holy, historic material.
True Mother:
Nothing can fully describe God’s heart now. To this one place which encompasses
the entire six-thousand-year providence, you have sent your daughter; I feel
indescribably awed in front of your call as you found and established me to realize
your will. I pledge to become one with everyone here in all aspects of deep heart
until the day your will is achieved.
Father’s prayer: 2
With earnestness piercing and flowing from our hearts, we are aware that this is a
time when this echoing, beating pulse and this one streak of the movement of
blood and flesh felt in our hearts can replace the original heart.
Father, as you brought about this one day that you sought, over and over again, for
six thousand years, we thank you for bringing about this day in history and for
allowing your daughter to be able to set up the new course of a mother in front of
I express my gratitude as this is a time— being a victorious day today—through
which you have appeared in front of all things that have perfected their heavenly
nature in the universe that you created and that this time is one through which you
have been able to claim victory for the first time in front of the satanic world by
being equipped with a condition for liberation by finding this one day.
I know that now is a time through which we claim victory and Satan carries the
sorrow of defeat; a time when our lives and satanic people’s lives will be transposed.
O Heaven, please raise the banner of victory. O earth! Please offer joy in return to
Glory, glory, unending glory. I know that this hour is one in which heaven and
earth come together in joy. May all descendants and the entire universe delight in
this joyful time for eternity. Father, even if we are to die, allow us to march on
toward the satanic world and invest our heart and soul in establishing your
children as heroes within restoration as soon as possible and to make this pledge to
Please accept your daughter, who has been established today. Crown her with a
laurel of victory and allow her to become a daughter that can cut off all your
sorrow and resentment. May the time ahead of us, as of this day, become one of
victorious glory alone and I sincerely hope that you are always present within the
lives of all members. I pray this under the name of the person you have sent. Amen.
True Father:
What happened here today may seem simple in your eyes. If seen as just a
ceremony, it may look like an event that just lasted for a few dozen minutes. Yet,
when you look at it from Heaven’s standpoint, all the vicissitudes of the six
thousand years are encompassed here.
Hence, knowing this and for you to achieve the will, you must be able to take after
Teacher’s heart, accept the will as an unfinished work and work on achieving the
immense will by cooperating with it.
God’s history is the history of restoration. However, what kind of restoration does
it require? It requires complete restoration. Complete restoration! It asks for
complete restoration. During Adam’s era, God tried to bring restoration through
the brothers. In Esau’s time, God tried to do so through the twins. He did it again
through Perez and Zerah while they were still in the womb. By passing this
standard, the next standard to be passed—based on the previous standard—is the
bride-and-groom standard. We must pass through the bride and groom.
In that case, what should be done in order to pass through it? A one to one
indemnity condition must be set in its intact form, just as in the era when Adam
fell. You are following a course through which you can indemnify a lot with smaller
conditions. However, if one has responsibility over the whole, one must pay the
same amount of indemnity; one must be able to set such conditions and pass
through them from a difficult position.
Hence, if established churches and the Korean people had supported me when I
first set off on this course, I wouldn’t have gone through such suffering. I set off on
this path at the age of twenty-six; if they had supported God’s will, Mother would
have been chosen at that time.
To attain the stage where Mother can be chosen, all the vicissitudes of the six-thou-
sand-year history must be resolved. However, for this to happen, a bridge must be
laid, a solution found and one must be able to break off from all of Satan’s
conditions first. As a result, my entire youth passed while trying to follow this
course. Now I am over forty. I have passed forty hills. Even if I am over forty, the
principled standard cannot be ignored; as a result, young Mother was chosen. The
standard requires the bride be under twenty.
From a secular point of view, I could grieve about many aspects because I have
aged and face major tasks ahead, and to think that I must advance with a young
person can be somewhat sorrowful. That doesn’t mean it is actually so though. The
time has already come and we have accomplished this; there is no such thing as
face-saving or the likes of that here. As of now, whatever you hear and however it
is, it won’t be a problem anymore. Please know that, understand why Mother was
chosen at such a young age in this providential age and give her your great support
in the future.
Please bear this in mind; absolutely remain humble as we still have a long way to go
in the future. Do not assume that fire will come down from heaven and finish
everything at once. You should have the conviction, “Father, we are okay even if
you do not help us. We are confident that we can move the world just by being
equipped with the words of truth and our experiences of the deep heart. We are
certain.” Do you promise to live with such confidence and determination? [Yes]/
