Forty-seventh True Children’s Day Celebration
Photo date and location unknown
Beloved blessed families of the world, respected ambassadors for peace, leaders from all walks of life, and distinguished guests from home and abroad:
Today is a significant day in the history of God’s providence. It begins the forty-seventh year since I declared Children’s Day. I had to reach and establish four great milestones in the providential course of restoration through indemnity, in order to fulfill God’s purpose of creation that was lost through the Fall of Adam and Eve, our first ancestors. They are: God’s Day, Parents’ Day, Children’s Day, and the Day of All Things. Having victoriously accomplished the Enthronement Ceremony for the Kingship of God in 2001,1 proclaimed the beginning of the providence of Cheon Il Guk at the time of the entrance ceremony of the Cheon Jeong Gung Peace Palace and the coronation ceremony in June this year. Today marks the first observance of True Children’s Day since then.
To commemorate this significant day and renew our resolve, I would like to convey Heaven’s words on the topic, “God’s Model for Absoluteness, Peace and the Ideal Is the Family and Global Kingdom Upholding Absolute Sexual Morality.” It is a summary of the message from Heaven that I delivered to the 6.5 billion people of the world over the past year. It is to remind you again of your role and mission from the viewpoint of God’s providence, and of the importance of the age in which you are living.
These are the words of life that one hundred twenty international religious leaders, who received them directly from True Parents, are proclaiming in one hundred twenty nations of the world. The world speaking tour carried out by members of three generations of True Parents’ family has opened the path to the salvation of humanity through Heaven’s message and the Blessing. On that foundation, these religious leaders who represent the Cain-type world have taken up the cause and are traveling to every corner of the world.
God’s purpose of creation
Ladies and gentlemen, throughout history, people have worked continuously for peace, based on human effort alone. Consider the confrontation between democracy and communism. Outwardly, the difference between the two was the extent to which they recognized and ensured individual rights and freedoms. Yet from the viewpoint of God’s providence, communism and democracy have been like children who lost their parents. The two divided into the positions of Cain and Abel, respectively, and became trapped in the fetters of fraternal conflict.
Throughout history, peace movements inevitably reached their limit and could not achieve their goal because imperfect human beings carried them out. This is why the United Nations, although launched with the splendid dream of realizing world peace, today has to admit its innate limitations and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity. That is simply because the UN was launched during the era prior to the time when God could directly govern the unfolding of His providence in history.
Now, however, it is entirely possible for the Universal Peace Federation to fulfill its mission to unite heaven and earth and form the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. That is because it represents God’s victory and the fruit of True Parents’ blood, sweat and tears. Therefore, the Universal Peace Federation is the world’s cherished hope. It will carry out the role of an “Abel-type” counterpart to the existing “Caintype” United Nations, to renew the UN and provide the leadership for a new sovereignty of universal peace known in Korean as Cheon Il Guk. Therefore, please bear in mind that you, as leaders from around the world, have the heavenly mission to build God’s substantial homeland, which is no less than the ideal that God intended at the time of creation.
Respected leaders from around the world, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose for creating human beings? It is to experience joy through relating with ideal families filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. Then what was the quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love? Simply put, it was to secure a parent-child relationship with God, whereby they could live in attendance to God as their Parent and form a model family embodying God’s ideal of peace. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God, experiencing joy eternally.
God created Adam and Eve and established them as the first ancestors of humankind to form the model family and realize the ideal of peace. God committed Himself completely to raising them as His son and daughter, who were to be encapsulations of the entire cosmos, mediators between the spirit world and physical world, and lords of creation, united with God through true love, true life and true lineage.
Ladies and gentlemen, Adam and Eve were to establish a model, peaceful, ideal family. God, the Absolute Being, created human beings as His children in order to instill in them absolute values on the basis of an absolute standard. Thus, we have to follow the way of that absolute standard in keeping with the demands of the heavenly path. This means we must follow our destined life course in order to attend God, the Absolute Being, as our Parent. In other words, for people to perfect themselves in resemblance to God and obtain the stature of people of character who can be called sons and daughters of the Absolute Being, they need to follow the path based on the absolute standard determined by God. The essence of this path is the standard of absolute sexual morality.
Absolute sexual morality
The first stage of absolute sexual morality is to maintain a standard of absolute sexual purity prior to getting married. After we are born, we go through a process of growth. We pass through infancy and childhood in a very safe and secure environment formed by our parents’ love and protection. We then enter the period of adolescence, which signals the start of a new and dynamic time of forging relationships on a totally new level with the people and things of creation all around us. This is the time we begin to travel the path of becoming a truly mature person, internally through the perfection of our character, and externally by reaching adulthood.
Yet all people, no matter who they are, must meet one absolute requirement if they hope to grow to spiritual maturity. That requirement is to maintain their sexual purity. True love among true people is based on the model of absolute sexual morality. God gave this direction to His children as a destined responsibility and duty, to be carried out in order to fulfill the ideal of creation. The only way to perfect the model of absoluteness in conjugal love is to follow this heavenly path.
What was the one and only commandment God gave to Adam and Eve, the first human ancestors, after He created them? It was the commandment and blessing to maintain an absolute standard of sexual abstinence until God’s approval of their marriage. We find the basis for this in the Bible passage that indicates that Adam and Eve would surely die on the day they ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. If they had refrained from eating and observed Heaven’s commandment, they would have perfected their character and stood as equal co-creators with God, the Creator. Furthermore, they would have taken dominion over the creation and become lords of the universe, enjoying eternal and ideal happiness.
It was God’s blessing that He warned Adam and Eve to preserve their sexual purity, so that they might marry with His Blessing as true children, become true husband and wife, give birth to true children and become true parents. This explanation deepens our understanding of this commandment; it was essentially a loving parental warning to Adam and Eve about absolute sexual morality, which is a principle of God’s creation. The profound truth hidden within God’s commandment throughout history was that we are meant to inherit and live by a model of sexual morality that is intrinsic to God’s ideal for creation. Only by doing so can we perfect our individuality as God’s children and establish ourselves as lords of creation.
The second stage of absolute sexual morality applies to the relationship between husband and wife. More precious than life itself, this is the heavenly law of absolute fidelity. Husband and wife are eternal partners given to each other by Heaven. By having children, husband and wife become co-creators of true love, true life and true lineage, and the origin of that which is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. It is a heavenly principle that one person alone cannot give birth to a child, even in a thousand years.
How can people who preserve their purity before marriage, and whom God binds together in a pure marriage as husband and wife, deviate from the heavenly way and go astray, following the wrong path? People are different from animals. If we understand God’s purpose in creating us as His children, we will realize that the wrong path is one of unimaginable betrayal and defiance of the Creator. It is a path of selfdestruction along which we dig our own graves. Resulting from the Fall, this path is outside the realm of the ideal of creation.
Ladies and gentlemen, absolute sexual morality is the greatest blessing that Heaven has bestowed on humankind. Without adhering to the standard of absolute sexual morality, the path to perfecting one’s character and attaining spiritual maturity is closed. Furthermore, without securing the foundation of absolute sexual morality through perfected individuals in a true family, it is impossible for God to manifest His stature as a God who is personal and incarnate in us.
In order for God, the Absolute Being, to have direct dominion over our lives and to live and share joy with us, we who were created as His object partners and His children need to form perfected families based on the standard of absolute sexual morality, as He intended. Only by living within the boundaries of absolute sexual morality is it possible for a family to create lifelong relationships based on the ideal model God originally intended for us. This model life includes the three-generational realm of grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren. Please understand clearly that God’s eternal life and our eternal life are possible only on this foundation.
Therefore, if Adam and Eve had achieved individual maturity, the perfection of their character, by upholding absolute sexual morality in accordance with God’s Will, and had then entered into conjugal relations through His Blessing, they would have attained complete oneness with Him. God would have dwelt within their union. Also, their children would have been linked to this holy order of love, enjoying a direct relationship with God as their Parent. In other words, the marriage of perfected Adam and Eve, based on their absolute sexual morality, would have been God’s own marriage. God is forever God, yet at the same time Adam and Eve were to have become embodiments of God. They would have become God’s body. God would have settled inside their minds and hearts to become the True Parent of humankind in both the spirit world and physical world, upon their foundation.
Do you know what has pained God’s heart the most, causing Him the greatest grief throughout the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage. He lost His close relationship with people, and even His ownership over the creation. God’s lineage is more precious than life itself. Without it, the fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became instead the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with God. From such people descended the 6.5 billion people now inhabiting the earth.
The importance of lineage and true love
Ladies and gentlemen, lineage is more important than life and more precious than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among love, life and lineage, lineage is the fruit. God’s lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life.
Hence, for us to become people of ideal character who can create ideal families, as originally envisioned by God, we have 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. The kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world can only come about by heeding God’s word to establish relationships based on absolute sexual morality.
Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough. The parent-child relationship is the highest and most important of all relationships, and the model, lineal relationship between parent and child is the only way through which God’s lineage can be bequeathed and made to last forever. You have to be clear on this point.
However, false love, false life and false lineage have infested the earth. God’s love, life and lineage fell into the hands of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love. Heaven and earth were suffocated and transformed into hell. The world became a wretched place, far from God’s presence. Yet humanity to this day lives in ignorance of this. People are deluded into believing that the lineage of the enemy is the lifeline upon which the world depends. This is the miserable truth about humanity descended from the Fall. That is why we refer to this world as hell on earth. God’s heart is full of pain as He views humanity’s tragic situation.
Furthermore, as a result of the Fall, Satan gained control of the realm of lineage and usurped both the right of the eldest son and the right of ownership. God is like a father who worked and sweated his entire life to accumulate assets for his children, only to find that a thief stole everything in one night. Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God? God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over ownership of the nations and the world to Satan.
My task, the task of Rev. Moon, is to complete the mission of the True Parents. My life, therefore, has been one of sorrow, marked by inexpressible suffering and persecution. The third Adam, the True Parent, needs to indemnify and completely reverse all the mistakes of the first and second Adams. He has to complete the mission of the Savior, the Messiah and the returning Lord, and also the missions of all those major figures on whom religions are based. With similarities to the process of God’s creation of the universe, his life constitutes the great work of the recreation of humanity, where not even the smallest error is permitted. It is a lonely course that cannot be fully comprehended by anyone.
My course has taken me down thorny paths through the wilderness, paths that I had to follow while utterly alone. Not even God could acknowledge me. Hovering many times between life and death, even vomiting blood, my life has been like that of a phoenix that had to rise again. I had to establish a model of absolute sexual morality and remain true to my promise to God.
Though I was innocent, I, Rev. Moon, have had to endure unjust imprisonment six times. The first was in my early days, for working in the underground independence movement while studying in Japan. I was later imprisoned for propagating the Will of God in Pyongyang, which was under communist rule immediately following Korea’s independence; during the Syngman Rhee administration after Korea had been reborn as a free nation; and finally, even in the United States, which proudly presents itself to the world as a model of democracy. Who on earth can understand the life of Rev. Moon, a life that has been one of perfecting a model of absolute love? Mine has been a life of misery. Biting my tongue, I have had to endure everything in order to comfort God and to bring about the salvation of the fallen people of the world who are suffering in the realm of death. Even now, if someone were to look into my heart and speak one word of sympathy, I would burst into tears and my tears would flow like a waterfall.
There is only one way to recover the realm of lineage, the right of the eldest son and the right of ownership. This is the path to win the natural subjugation of Satan by having him surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplishing this? It can be accomplished only by the power of true love, when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.
Then what is true love? Its essence is to give, to live for the sake of others and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, like that of a devoted son who gains his greatest satisfaction through helping his parents.
When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually rejoicing in each other’s company. The attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissolve the barriers fallen people have created, including national boundaries and the barriers of race and even religion.
The main attributes of God’s true love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. Whoever practices true love will live with God, share His happiness, and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute prerequisite for entering the kingdom of heaven.
The spirit world really exists
Ladies and gentlemen, each person has a mind and body, and a spirit self that is more elevated than the mind. God resides in the world in which we live with our physical bodies and also in the spirit world, where our spirits are destined to go. Therefore, we are complete only when we have become completely one with God in true love. Such a perfected person might be a relatively insignificant individual; however, as a representative of all of history and all potential future relationships, this person could be said to possess infinite value. Once we are aware of our cosmic value, we realize that we need to lead our lives in service to our minds for the sake of perfecting a standard of absolute sexual morality.
This is why your conscience knows and perceives every action you have performed, and also every thought you have entertained. Your conscience is aware of these things before your own teachers, parents or even God. Hence, if you were to live in absolute obedience to the commands of your conscience, which is your teacher for eternity, you would be absolutely guaranteed to have eternal life. Such is the way of God’s creation.
Consider the structure of a human being from a different perspective. We can recognize that God created us as beings with dual characteristics. He created our physical bodies as miniatures of the corporeal, physical world; likewise, He created our spiritual bodies as representatives of the incorporeal, spirit world. We are meant to take dominion of love over both worlds. Accordingly, God intended each person to live for a hundred years or so in the physical world and, once the physical body ceases to function, pass on naturally and automatically into the incorporeal, spirit world. In this way, the spirit world is the automatic and inevitable extension of our lives on earth, even though our physical eyes cannot perceive it. That world is humankind’s eternal, original homeland created by God.
The spirit world actually does exist. It is not a world that has been fantasized or imagined into existence. We do not have the right to choose; it is not a world we can go to if we please or refuse to go to if we would rather not. Just as God is eternal and unchanging, the spirit world He created is also eternal and unchanging. Just as we live in the physical world in our physical bodies and form all sorts of relationships with the things of this world, likewise in the spirit world we are destined to continue living in our spiritual bodies, forming and maintaining close relationships with all phenomena of the spirit world.
Although everyone has both a spirit and a body, the spirit is the more important of the two. The physical body lasts for about a hundred years before it ceases to function, yet the spirit lasts eternally, transcending time and space. Isn’t even a person who dresses and fares well in the physical world bound to die? Therefore, before you pass on to the next world, you have to achieve unity between your spirit and your physical body by living your earthly life in such a way that you meet the standards of both the physical and spirit worlds.
In other words, you have the responsibility to perfect your spirit within your physical body based on the finite life you live in the tangible, physical world. This does not mean, however, that your spirit self automatically grows to perfection. Your spirit self can mature fully only on the foundation of your having achieved complete unity between your mind and body during your earthly life, by expressing true love through action.
Ladies and gentlemen, in order for fruit to ripen and be put into storage in autumn, it must first pass through the growing process during spring and summer and be provided with the nutrients supplied by nature and the tender loving care of its owner. Fruit grown in an orchard by a lazy and ignorant owner will be afflicted with all kinds of diseases and be affected by foul weather. Eventually it will fall from the tree before it is ripe, or be classified as worm-infested. Though it will still be fruit, it will be different from other fruit because it will never be good enough to sell in the market.
Fruit that has fully matured on the tree will automatically go into the owner’s storehouse. Similarly, only when a person’s spirit has reached perfection during life in the physical world, which can be likened to the tree, will it automatically enter the incorporeal spirit world of the kingdom of heaven. In other words, a person will enter the kingdom of God in the spirit world automatically only after qualifying for and enjoying the kingdom of heaven on earth by living as a fully mature person while in his or her physical body.
During your life on earth, your every action and movement, without exception, is recorded on your spirit self, with the public laws of Heaven as the standard. Accordingly, you will enter the spirit world in the form of your spirit self, which has recorded your life on earth with 100 percent accuracy. Your spirit will show plainly whether you have led a ripe life of goodness, or a wormy, rotten life of sinfulness. What this means is that it is not God who will judge you; you will be your own judge. If you are aware of this astonishing rule from Heaven, will you spend the remaining days of your life on earth in selfishness and immorality, succumbing to all the temptations of Satan, in pursuit of only pleasure? No. Rather you will abstain from injuring and scarring your spirit bodies, even at the risk of your earthly life. Please bear this truth in mind: Whether you are bound for heaven or for hell is determined by your thoughts, speech and behavior in each moment.
Nevertheless, when you look into your lives, your outer self and inner self are undeniably in a relationship of ongoing conflict and struggle. How much longer will you allow this fighting to continue? Ten years? A hundred years? In contrast, there is undeniably a proper order for all forms of existence in the universe. This indicates that God did not create us in this state of conflict and disorder. You have to know that it is your duty and responsibility as a human being to dispel all temptations directed at your outer self, your physical body, to work to perfect absolute sexual morality, and to gain victory in life by following the way of your inner self, your conscience. Heavenly fortune will be with those who lead their lives in such a way. They will attain perfection of their spirit selves.
The kingdom of heaven and the family
Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of place is the kingdom of heaven? In brief, it is a world overflowing with God’s true love. True love is its axis. True love is everywhere, in the outward expression as well as in the inward thought. Everyone’s life is filled with true love from beginning to end. In the kingdom of heaven, people are born through true love, live in the embrace of true love and follow the way of true love until the day they pass on into the next world, the spirit world.
The kingdom of heaven is a natural world where all people live for the sake of one another. Consequently, antagonism and jealousy cannot be found anywhere in that world. It is not a world governed by money, position or power. In that world, the success of every person represents the success of the whole, the likes of every person represent the likes of the whole, and the joy of every person represents the joy of the whole.
The kingdom of heaven is a world filled with the air of true love, where everyone breathes true love. Its life throbs with love, everywhere and all the time. The citizens of that kingdom are all linked together through their common membership in God’s lineage. There, the whole world and its people are connected in an inseparable relationship, like the cells in our bodies. True love, the love that is God’s essence, is the kingdom of heaven’s only governing power. Accordingly, God also exists for true love.
When seeking after the lost ideal of the original family, there has to be someone in the position of perfected Adam, someone in the position of Jesus, and someone in the position of the Lord at his second coming. From that starting point, we can establish the family in which God will dwell. The three generations in that family -- grandparents, parents and children -- will live in harmony. Parents and children will serve and attend the grandparents because they represent the family’s ancestors, its historical root.
Ladies and gentlemen, the family sets the pattern for living together in harmony and unity. In the model, ideal family, there is love and respect between parents and children, mutual fidelity and love between husband and wife, and trust and mutual reliance among siblings. This means that you are to establish a true family wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love and bears the fruit of true love.
In this manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and children live together as one family and serve the eternal God. God desires to see such families, and it is your responsibility as tribal messiahs and ambassadors for peace to seek after and establish these families of Cheon Il Guk, the kingdom of God.
Ladies and gentlemen, you need to form families that God will miss and yearn to return to after He has been away. He wants to feel comfortable visiting your home, like any parent coming to visit his or her children. This is what it means to live in service to God.
Within such a family, God is the vertical subject partner of your conscience, and your conscience is the vertical subject partner of your body. Thus, unity with God brings your mind and body into unity. Family members who have established that vertical axis can perfect the four realms of love and heart: parental love, conjugal love, children’s love and siblings’ love. That family links all directions: up and down, front and rear, right and left. They revolve around each other in everlasting spherical motion. This is God’s eternal, model, ideal family, which is the foundation for ideal model nations and God’s peace kingdom. If only the entire world were filled with such true families! It would be an orderly world where people governed themselves by the heavenly way and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors or even judges.
Who would be most fully aware of your good and bad deeds? It would be your grandparents, parents, spouse and children. Is there anything that cannot be resolved within the family? When parents and children, husband and wife, and elder siblings and younger siblings set an example of living for the sake of one another, how could they do anything unforgivable? What reason would they have to commit crimes? A world governed by the heavenly way and heavenly laws is a natural world, an unobstructed world of truth and pure reason. It is a world at the “high noon” of absolute values, without any dark shadows.
International and cross-cultural marriage Blessing
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, 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. Why would we foolishly continue to live and die as wild olive trees? A wild olive tree, even if it lives a thousand years, will only continue producing the seeds of more wild olive trees. Where can we find the path to escape this vicious cycle?
It is through the holy Blessing. The holy Blessing ceremony offers the grace of being grafted onto the true olive tree. It is instituted by the True Parents who bring God’s true lineage to humankind. Once you change your lineage to God’s lineage, your offspring will belong to God’s lineage naturally. We receive the holy Blessing in three stages: rebirth, resurrection and eternal life. These marriages contribute to the enormous task of transcending the barriers of race, culture, nationality, ethnicity and religion, thereby creating one family of humankind. In God’s sight, skin color makes no difference. God does not recognize national borders. God does not stand behind the barriers of religion and culture. They are nothing more than the devil’s tricks. Satan has used them to rule over humanity as a false parent for tens of thousands of years.
You have the mission to teach the members of your families and clans that perfecting a life of absolute sexual morality through the international, cross-cultural marriage Blessing is the ultimate means to establish a peaceful, ideal world here on earth. Your families and clans could all join the holy ranks of those who have received the marriage Blessing based on the perfection of absolute sexual purity.
Ladies and gentlemen, the path is now open wide for you to change your lineage through the holy wine ceremony that the True Parents have instituted. This Blessing is given to you, either as newlywed couples or as already married couples, that you may establish true families.
True Parents’ peace movement
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to reiterate the proposal I have made for a truly providential and revolutionary project for the sake of peace and human welfare, a project that will enable us to build God’s homeland and original hometown. Satan has historically divided our world into East and West and North and South. I am therefore proposing that we build a passage for transit across the Bering Strait that separates the North American and
Russian landmasses. This passage, which I call the World Peace King Bridge and Tunnel, will cross the Bering Strait and link to 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, connecting the world as a single community.
God is warning us that He will no longer tolerate separation and division. Carrying out this project will bind the world together as one village. It will tear down the man-made walls of race, culture, religion and country, and establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world that has been God’s cherished desire.
The United States and Russia can become one. The countries of the European Union, China, India, Japan, Brazil and all nations, as well as all the world’s religions, can combine their energies to succeed in this project. Its success will be decisive in establishing the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where people will no longer wage war against one another.
Beloved blessed families, you are now living in the most blessed and exalted time in history. The Era after the Coming of Heaven has arrived. I proclaim the beginning of the new heaven and new earth, longawaited and yearned for by billions of your ancestors in the spirit world who have come and gone in history. This is the era of the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. The four great religious founders and billions of good ancestors have come down to earth to guide you on the heavenly path. The age when the fallen and corrupt world wreaks havoc on humanity, allowing evil people to live better than others, is passing away.
We have to seek out and establish that nation of righteousness, the ultimate destination in which we all attend God as the center. What would that nation be? It would be the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. It would be a nation that resembles the form of a model, true family with three generations living together in harmony, trusting, respecting and supporting one another and becoming one in love. In short, it would be the nation that humanity has desired throughout the ages, the utopia where God is sovereign.
This means we need a movement to realize a society of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally shared values. We have to make humanity one great family, breaking down the walls in our hearts and eliminating even the boundaries between nations. This movement begins from each family. Therefore, each of us has to bear in mind that it is our providential calling to establish a true family. This is the way we can advance the establishment of the universal peace kingdom on earth.
Indeed, all this is coming to pass. 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 reunification of my homeland of Korea.
Nonetheless I am not yet satisfied, because I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. With God’s anointing, I am fulfilling the role of True Parent to humankind, and I am determined to keep my promise to Him. I am determined to obliterate all national divisions and barriers that have poisoned this earth and to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where all people everywhere can live hand in hand.
Our mission
The Era after the Coming of Heaven that God and True Parents have opened is a time of dramatic change. You have the mission to make this era blossom and bear fruit in blessing and glory. Therefore, please become Heaven’s emissaries, fulfilling the dual missions of the “peace kingdom police force” and the “peace kingdom corps.” Serve humanity under the banner of the Universal Peace Federation, which is working to take up the role of an Abel-type UN. Worthy citizens of the world, if not you, then who will nurture and protect the blessed families and this blessed planet Earth that God has given us?
Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that in the Era after the Coming of Heaven we must recover the true lineage that was lost when Adam fell, by receiving the marriage Blessing through the True Parents. The providence of the Blessing is to be perfected through five stages: the individual, family, tribe, people and nation. In this way, let us fulfill our divine mission as blessed families in the Era after the Coming of Heaven by restoring and establishing the ideal three-generational family on the world level. This is the same purpose that Jesus sought to accomplish on earth before passing from this world.
Therefore, I am now leading all tribal and national messiahs to unite and bring to a final end the improper relationship between the political sphere, representing the Cain realm, and the religious sphere, representing the Abel realm.
The Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, representing seventy-four percent of the world’s population, needs to bear in mind that the providential age is now upon us in which we must fulfill our duty by restoring the world through the Blessing on the world level. This will bring to a close the conflict between Cain and Abel, which began in humankind’s first family.
Ladies and gentlemen, the providential time has now come when we have the mission to unite the two sons, Cain and Abel. It is by their mothers love that they can become one. Then, after recovering their original positions, they are to dedicate the restored, original, ideal family before the True Parents, the King and Queen of Peace in heaven and on earth. Please take this to heart and engrave it in your mind: You are living at a time when God gives you the mission, through restoring the true, ideal family, to offer before Heaven the realm of siblings’ love and the right of ownership that our first human ancestors gave over to Satan through the Fall.
You are now advancing into the era of liberation and complete inner freedom, which is the providential era of the realm of the heart of the Fourth Adam. In other words, it is the Era after the Coming of Heaven. This is the time when, metaphorically speaking, the sun is directly overhead, such that no shadow is cast. This signifies that we have passed through the Era before the Coming of Heaven, which included the Old, New and Completed Testament Ages. These past eras required immeasurable restitution and atonement by people who could only dream about re-creating the ideal. The present time, however, corresponds to the era prior to the Fall of Adam and Eve, the era of building the original ideal world. It refers to the era of true love that is all encompassing, all-powerful and has overall authority. It is the realm of heart in which the spirit world and the physical world are bound together as a unified realm centering on the love of the True Parents, the King and Queen of Peace. In other words, it is the era of the kingdom of peace and unity in heaven and on earth.
Please become true princes and princesses who live in attendance to God as your True Parent, for He is the Peace King of the multitudes. Let us build the everlasting peace kingdom by attending True Parents, who have been enthroned as the King and Queen of Peace in heaven and on earth in the realm of eternal liberation and complete inner freedom, where there is no need for a Savior, a Messiah or a returning Lord. Let us fulfill the dutiful way of filial children in the family, patriots, saints, and divine sons and daughters.
By following God’s commandment to uphold absolute sexual morality, let us establish exemplary families, inherit True Parents’ victory of restoring through indemnity the realm of three generations, and perfect the world as it would have been without the Fall.
Let us establish model, ideal families to bring the complete settlement of the universal, ideal realm of liberation and complete inner freedom, and the kingdom of goodness. In that kingdom, we will be able to enjoy a time of absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal peace and prosperity, and it will become the homeland of peace in heaven and on earth that everyone can praise for all eternity.
May God’s blessings be upon your family, your nation and the world forever!
Thank you.
