True Parents recently returned to Korea, the homeland and hometown of the providence, prior to the assembly the first to be held in Washington DC and New York in the United States, the second assembly to be held at the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas and the third to be held at Cheon Bok Gung in Seoul, Korea. During this time in Korea, True Parents prepared a very important statement delineating six points (this was proclaimed at the Washington DC-New York Assembly in the United States). True Parents spent a very serious time contemplating God’s providence during the three days from the 14th day to the 16th day of the 10th month by the heavenly calendar (November 18-20, 2010).
Recently, however, one Korean leader, a boonbongwang, who has not participated in any of these gatherings or events with True Parents and maintained a distance from the recent providence, began spreading false rumors, using his public position given to him by True Parents. These rumors have been systematically disseminated to the worldwide movement by a number of people. I am sharing this report with you, the reader, in order to convey an accurate description of the current providential developments and to prevent leaders and members from being misinformed by false rumors.
On 10.13 by the heavenly calendar (November 16), one day before True Parents’ return to Korea, True Parents gave special instructions (100 leaders to be gathered) so that a condition could be made that Korea welcomes and attends True Parents who are returning after being victorious in the providence in the United States.
True Parents arrived at Incheon International Airport in the early morning of November 17. A welcoming gathering was held for True Parents at the airport’s VIP reception room, by the leaders who came that day.
Mr. Gyu-Nam Pak, head of Sungnam Ilhwa Soccer Team, champions of the recent Asia Champions League, gave a report for two hours. Rev. Jung-Ok Yu then gave a report on the providence in the United States. After these reports, True Father spoke. After this meeting, True Parents headed for Mokpo. There he gave instructions to a company called Maska Marie to build boats. He then went to Yeosu to speak to the trainees there.
True Father was going to offer devotions for some time in Yeosu but was given word that the Prime Minister of Solomon Islands had to change his schedule and so departed for Cheon Jeong Gung. True Parents made serious preparations for the November 18 hoondokhwae. At midnight on November 17, True Parents gave a special order for certain people to come to hoondokhwae the following morning. These include all those who welcomed True Parents at the airport, boonbongwangs from 194 nations, Chung-Hwan Kwak, Mr. Sang-Hwe Lee who used to work at YongPyong, Kook Jin Nim, Hyung Jin Nim, Rev. Sun-Jo Hwang, Dr. Chang-Shik Yang, and Mr. Dong-Moon Joo, and members of the families of President Obama and former President Bush. He also instructed representatives from political circles and the media to participate along with ambassadors for peace centering on Rev. Jeong-Ro Yoon.
True Parents in particular emphasized that Chung-Hwan Kwak participate in the hoondokhae. Father is aware that Chung-Hwan Kwak has not been coming to hoondokhwae and mentioned his absence many times.
Before coming into the hoondokhwae room, True Parents checked to see if the hoondokhwae participants included those he invited. When it was reported that they did not, True Parents were very upset. Father chided the leaders, slapping their cheeks, and spoke strongly to True Mother, Hyung Jin Nim and Kook Jin Nim because of this.
True Father also mentioned that it would be good for Hyun Jin Nim to be in charge of Europe. It seemed that if Chung-Hwan Kwak had participated, he would have entrusted Hyun Jin Nim to be responsible over Europe. True Father then emphasized that Hyung Jin Nim and Kook Jin Nim should be united to bring together the financial and religious spheres and take responsibility to advance True Parents’ providence.
True Father scolded Dr. Peter Kim, saying that he had failed to stop Chung-Hwan Kwak who had been planning and preparing this conspiracy for twelve years.
True Father emphasized that the Assembly to take place on November 22 was very important and had the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands offer three full bows to him. He continued to speak throughout hoondokhwae and hosted a special breakfast for the Prime Minister.
I believe that this incident, where a Prime Minister in the position of king of a member nation of the UN offered a full bow to the king of kings, True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, set a very important providential condition for the three upcoming assemblies. True Parents did not immediately receive a full bow from the participants at the beginning of hoondokhwae because he had to first receive the full bow from the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands who had come representing a king of the Cain-type realm.
True Parents again issued special instructions in the morning of Saturday, November 20. They were that all those who welcomed True Parents at the airport and for participants of the banquet held to congratulate the victory of Sungnam Ilhwa Soccer Club should come for hoondokhwae. Yet, again the participants did not include those True Parents were expecting and so Father scolded many leaders. True Father was planning to proclaim a special statement consisting of six items if all the participants who were supposed to come had come. This statement was instead announced at the Assembly on November 22. True Father emphasized that people should participate in hoondokhwae for the three days from the 14th, 15th and 16th day of the 10th month by the heavenly calendar (i.e. November 18, 19, 20). However, there was no hoondokhwae on the 19th, so it would then actually be referring to hoondokhwae on the 21st in memory of the historical day, October 14th, sixty years ago when Father came out of Heungnam labor camp. After presiding over this important program in Korea, True Parents departed for the United States.
At the airport, Hyung Jin Nim had the opportunity to ask many questions to True Parents on the recent providence and words and receive an answer from True Father. One of the questions Hyung Jin Nim asked this day was on the identity of the archangel and about God’s attributes. True Father talked about the God of Night and God of Day, about God’s attributes which also contains the concept of siblings and children.
Hyung Jin Nim indicated his joy in finding True Father so strong when he “hit” him during hoondokhwae on November 18. Rev. Cheong-Kwan Yoo interjected saying that it was an expression of a parent’s love for his child. True Father explained that such indemnity conditions were needed and that if he hadn’t done that, the ancestors in the spirit world would not have left them alone. Father had instructed key people to participate in that hoondokhwae but because those leaders failed to fulfill their mission, Father had made True Mother, Hyung Jin Nim and Kook Jin Nim pay indemnity for that. From this we can understand how important the position of a leader is. Through these hoondokhwaes we can understand the importance of blessing all the people of this nation and their participating in the three-day ceremony and indemnity stick ceremony. This was clearly proclaimed through the special proclamation. Indemnity was needed because the ambassadors for peace and leaders of society did not participate.
In the end, Chung-Hwan Kwak did not come to hoondokhwae on November 20. As a result, True Parents personally gave instructions for Chung-Hwan Kwak and Jin-Man Kwak to be dismissed from their respective positions of boonbongwang and national messiah. If they had participated and stood before True Parents, things might have been different. True Parents gave them a second chance but they did not take it. Thus, their dismissal was announced.
When a report was given to True Parents regarding a demonstration organized by a member in front of the land on Yeoui-do, True Father mentioned that it was not their doing but that of the spirit world. From these words, we can see that the spirit world is now taking action to defend the holy ground into which True Parents had invested greatly.
One more point I would like to mention is that members in the mission field in Nepal and other areas of Asia have experienced difficulties and challenges because of GPF. True Parents had made it clear that GPF was not in line with True Parents’ direction, and that leaders and members should instead be taught the Original Divine Principle. That is why, the regional president and national leader organized Original Divine Principle workshops for leaders and members during the same time that GPF was held. Yet, on this foundation, God and True Parents could work.
Through the mutual agreement of ambassadors for peace and church leaders who have followed True Parents’ instructions, the national leader of Nepal (who is also a national assembly member) is now giving lectures through the national broadcasting company at from 7:30 a.m. on November 18 (10.14 by the heavenly calendar). This broadcast reaches twenty nations of the world. For ten days he will deliver twenty lectures. It was reported that approximately one million people viewed the lectures on the first day. On the last day of this lecture, he will proclaim that True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind is the king of kings, savior and Lord at his second advent. Hearing this report, True Parents was very happy and that is why he explained this at the November 22 US Assembly.
Furthermore, a suggestion was made that if the Little Angels gave a performance in Nepal it would probably help the leaders and people of Nepal appreciate True Parents.
< Appendix: True Parents’ Proclamation >
[Tentative translation; Korean version still to be finalized]
These are the concluding remarks of the general outline that was reached through my endeavors to bring to a close the rally that is being held in order to finalize what I had achieved through the course of my entire life. This is not something that could have appeared in history before now.
I am giving the following instructions in order to establish the realm of victory of a headline that summarizes my life course that decisively brings to a conclusion for the realm of victory of a world in which God, victorious in providence, is liberated and completely freed through the life course of the True Parents.
Centering on Sun Jo Hwang, to complete the Seunghwa ceremony for the realm of the tribal messiah and Seunghwa Ceremony for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Israels from October to December 31 this year, and complete the three-day ceremony and indemnity stick ceremony of the Blessing Ceremony for all the people of Korea.
To hold a world-level spirit world-physical world Blessing Ceremony for those who have accepted the responsibility of boonbongwang and ambassador for peace; at the same time this is to be accomplished by D-day.
From Adam to Eve and centering on Choong-mo nim, Dae-hyung nim and True Parents’ clan, the Moon family, boonbongwangs and ambassadors for peace centering on the president and leader of the national assembly of those nations, and the ancestors from the realm of the original lineage, and people belonging to the realm of heaven who received the Blessing should realize the realm of oneness expressing God’s all-embracing, all-pervading, all-capable and omnipotent qualities.
This is a proclamation of perfecting, completing and concluding everything at this time of proclamation, and at the final stage by the time of the D-day proclamation of True Parents who united with True Parents’ proclamation record centering on October 14 sixty years ago as the beginning point, and sixty-years later restored through indemnity centering on the three days of the 14th, 15th and 16th day of the 10th month by the heavenly calendar in the 10th year of Cheon Il Guk.
This is the contents of True Parents’ proclamation which is the culmination of the providence that perfects, completes and concludes at the Assembly to Proclaim the Substantial Word and the Era of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind in Washington DC, the New York Assembly, the Hoover Dam Assembly in Las Vegas and the Seoul Assembly in Korea, which is becoming God’s homeland and hometown. This must be completed within the next two years and one month until the D-day designated by True Parents.
In this way, Korea which gave birth to the True Parents will be perfected, completed and concluded as God’s homeland and hometown. All the presidents and citizens who participated in the G20—centered on President Lee Myung Bak who represents the government of Korea (south and north), God’s homeland and hometown, President George Bush and President Obama who are respectively the presidents of the Cain-type UN and Abel-type UN—must unite as one to bring the success of these rallies and perfect, complete, conclude and offer them according to True Parents’ heavenly decree. If any of these are unable to participate, True Parents will select another and bring him or her to perfect that work in his place.
