Beloved families that have recently received the new lineage of the absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal God through the Blessing, citizens of God’s kingdom, Cheon Il Guk:
We are celebrating a truly special occasion in this absolute providential era. It is deeply meaningful because we are commemorating the coronation and the golden wedding anniversary of the True Parents, the King of kings, the publication of my autobiography, and the fifty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. Today, June 1, is also an historic event in which we are proclaiming before all of heaven and earth the establishment of the new, truly peaceful world of the True Parent UN. For these joyful days, let us offer applause in gratitude to God, our Heavenly Parent, who governs the life, death, fortune and misfortune of all creation. It is because of Him that we have these beautiful and dazzling seasons and days.
During this season, vibrant with life, God is beckoning all of you, as lords of creation, to freely participate, with all created beings, in the creation of new life. He is blessing us to blossom beautifully like flowers and to live lives that are as bright as the sun and as clear as the waters of a stream.
Fruition of the providence in history
Dear friends who are receiving Heaven’s love anew, on three occasions, once on January 15 and twice on January 31, we held the historic “Coronation for the New Authority of the Liberation of God, the King of Kings,” and our golden wedding anniversary celebration. January 31 saw this ceremony held in the Cheon Jeong Gung Peace Palace in Korea, representing the East, and again in New York City in the United States, representing the West. In this way, we set a record by offering an unprecedented and unrepeatable providential event to Heaven from opposite sides of Earth on the same day.
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.
How can I even begin to explain the path of the providence of restoration through indemnity that my wife and I have had to follow for the past fifty years in order to finally bring complete liberation and freedom to God and to attend Him as the King of kings? Many years from now, historians will verify and record what I cannot explain at this time.
You are probably not aware of this, but there is profound providential significance in True Parents’ coronation and golden wedding anniversary. Due to the Fall of our first ancestors, God’s true lineage was lost and history came under the dominion of Satan’s false bloodline. I am sure you have learned about this reality through studying the Divine Principle.
This corrupted bloodline has been a fact of history. Isn’t it because of this that the physical world and even the spirit world have been mired in antagonistic, confrontational, good-versus-evil, Abel-and-Cain relationships? No one has been able to find a resolution to this tragedy, and history’s problems have been unresolved to this day.
Times are now changing, however. The doors to the realm of complete unity between Cain and Abel are being opened on the occasions of True Parents’ coronation and golden wedding anniversary. We have entered the realm of grace where human beings can be restored to the level of completion and perfection at which they can inherit and share the original nature of God’s heart. In other words, we can reach the state God originally intended for us, free from all traces of the Fall.
Using the symbols “O” and “X,” we can say we have entered a new era when the good governance of God, who is in the position of an “O,” can completely embrace and digest the evil governance of Satan, who is in the position of an “X,” leaving no trace of it behind. The new era is beginning in which the kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven is substantially emerging before our 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.
For this occasion of special significance, my wife and I celebrated our coronation and golden wedding anniversary and held the Soccer Peace Cup Cain-Abel Cosmic Harmony Tournament for thirteen days, starting on April 21. This will be a festival of peace for all humanity that someday will surpass even the Olympic Games.
The Atletico Sorocaba football club from Brazil contributed greatly to this first tournament by setting aside everything else to come here at True Parents’ invitation. In 2008, Sorocaba won the Football Association Challenge Cup championship in Sao Paulo, Brazil. During their short time in Asia, they played four teams, representing North Korea, South Korea, Japan and China. They displayed an excellent standard of skill and demonstrated the soul of Latin American football. Please give a warm round of applause to encourage the Sorocaba team!
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to offer to Heaven this precious new ceremony by reading with you now the message from Heaven that I proclaimed this January, at the Coronation of God, the King of kings, and thereafter at our golden anniversary celebration. Please engrave the meaning of today’s event in your hearts.
God’s search for True Parents
Beloved citizens of God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk who love peace as True Parents do! Today is a truly meaningful and joyful day. Let us all celebrate without reserve this historic and providential day and sing praises to God, our eternal True Parent, for His glory and nobility! On this solemn occasion, hundreds of billions of people living in the spirit world are here with us to honor and celebrate this blessed day.
Today is the day God has been waiting and yearning for, ever since He created the universe. For tens of thousands of years, since the day that Adam and Eve, whom He created as His children, stained the heavenly lineage and concealed themselves in the dark, God has endured and waited in inexpressible pain and sorrow. God has waited impatiently for 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, God is the King of kings; He was so even before He began the Creation. The heavenly way, however, dictates that after creating all things, God had to manifest substantially as the King of kings who reigns over the world of physical phenomena, the sphere of the object partners of God’s love. That is why, with true love, God sought and found the True Parents of this physical world to become His representatives and heirs.
We are overwhelmed by the grace of having received Heaven’s seal, and my wife and I are truly joyful to be able to stand here as God’s representatives and hold this coronation for the King of kings. At the same time 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.
Citizens of Cheon Il Guk who love God! This is an urgent time. Heaven will no longer wait. God is working with His authority as the King of kings through His representatives, the earthly True Parents, to establish heavenly law and restore this world. It is time to accelerate this true love revolution.
Therefore, on this solemn occasion, I will proclaim to all of heaven and earth the outline of the heavenly law by which humankind and all things of creation will regain their rightful positions and be governed.
First, this era, which is advancing toward the third millennium, will be the era of revolutionary change after the coming of Heaven. In this era, we will no longer be entangled by the principles of restoration through indemnity. It will be the time when the King of kings rules the spirit world and physical world with His rightful authority. It will be the era of the providence in which the earth will return to its original state, with the realm of the Pacific Rim serving as a central axis. People will no longer drift beyond the influence of Heaven’s ways and the heavenly law. Therefore, you have to lead a transparent life with every action as clear as crystal.
Second, we have to accomplish a revolution in educating all people on the value of absolute sex, with God as their vertical, absolute axis. This is the only way to pass on the lineage of goodness to all human beings. It 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 anointed representatives (boonbongwang) and the Parent UN will be placed at the forefront of the efforts to completely eliminate the multiple layers of blockages and barriers that surround this earth, and to reinstate harmony and peace among political parties, religions, races, cultures and nations. The existing United Nations, which is in the position of the Cain-type UN, and the Abel-type UN need to become one and rise to a higher dimension to become the Parent UN, which is the Peace UN. Centering on the Peace UN, we can address and resolve war, disease, hunger and all other problems confronting the world. All people will surely support this because God and True Parents will be with them. They will do away with individualistic self-centeredness as well as collective self-centeredness, and this will lead to the realization of a world governed by conscience and natural reason with no need for elected leaders.
Fourth, the cross-cultural, international Blessing of marriage is the optimal method to establish true families that will change the fallen human lineage and build the Peace Kingdom. In the end, reconciliation and peace will come about through lineage. By blacks and whites, people from the East and West, Buddhists, Christians, Jews and Muslims intermarrying and carrying on the blessed marriage tradition that True Parents have established, this world will naturally become one family. 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 plows and pruning hooks, a world of peace will open up before us.
Fifth, God created us as His counterparts in love, and He prepared the natural world as a gift for us, His children. God would not abandon His children to live in a barren desert devoid of beauty and vitality. That is why all people have the duty to preserve and love the natural world. I am saying that you need to develop your human nature as it was originally meant to be, such that you resonate even with a cluster of wild flowers as you share a heartfelt conversation with them.
These points summarize the shortcut to restoring humankind to God.
New true families living according to their original nature
Ladies and gentlemen who have been chosen by Heaven, I am sure you all feel from the message I have just read that human beings are entering a new providential era wherein the earth will follow a new heavenly way and be governed directly by new heavenly law. It is the new providential era of the realm of the fourth Adam, who is the original Adam, in which one can enter the new kingdom of heaven and inherit God’s new standard of heart based on His original nature.
Through True Parents’ providential coronation, golden wedding anniversary, publication celebration and the commemoration of the fifty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Holy Spirit Association in this new era, I pray that you may form wise and new families of citizens in God’s kingdom, Cheon Il Guk. Families whose members clearly distinguish between Cain and Abel in their practical lives, and who integrate into a new realm of Abel by placing goodness at the center, restore the three eras, the Old, New and Completed Testament Ages, and the three generations of the family.
I ask you to form and live as new true families based on original human nature, through which the new true grandparents, true parents, and true grandchildren can enter the new kingdom of heaven, hand in hand. Please engrave in your hearts the meaning of this gathering to establish the truly peaceful world of the True Parent UN, which we are celebrating today.
I pray and proclaim in the names of the victorious True God and True Parents that the new authority of the great Blessing of the True God, the King of kings of all nations, can flow abundantly into your new families, new nations, and throughout the new cosmos.
May God’s blessings fill the entire cosmos.
Thank you very much.
