2018 True Parents Special New Year Gathering for Cheon Il Guk Leaders

Cheon Jeong Gung, January 5, 2018

Beloved blessed families and members around the world: The first step to realizing Heaven’s dream of one human family centered on God is national restoration. As we are right now, I cannot have conviction in many different aspects. How can all Blessed Families around the world and all 7.5 billion people of the world know Heavenly Parent and True Parents and become filial children and loyal patriots that can realize their dream? When we look at the things occurring around the world today, we feel there is no hope. People have tried very hard. They dreamed of a peaceful and happy world. However, the path to that was always out of reach. This was because there was no center. We are Blessed Families who have been reborn through the True Parents. We are blessed. Those who receive blessings have responsibilities. Those responsibilities are not for yourself but are responsibilities towards your neighbors, your tribe, your nation and the world. The basic step for that is the responsibility as heavenly tribal messiahs. How much devotion have you offered for that? There are now only two years left to reach our goal by 2020. As nations of model blessed families and nations that have fulfilled their tribal messiah missions who not only know God but attend God—you must show others that if they follow in this way, Heaven will bless them too.

In the central providential nations of Korea, Japan and America, please think about how you will show and reveal a Family Federation for a Heavenly Korea, for a Heavenly America, for a Heavenly Japan whose members have been successful as heavenly tribal messiahs to the world. That is why I made the decision. We will look at Korea as a region and will divide it into five sub-regions. If the five leaders move as one you will be able to be five times more effective. The sub-regions will take the form of a nation. From five years ago, I told the Family Federation you must go forward with the spirit and the truth. After Jesus went the way of the cross, Christianity began through resurrection by the Holy Spirit. Yet even after such a long time, Christianity, which has centered on people, does not know the essence and has made many mistakes and has many failures. When Jesus died on the cross, he prophesized he would return and hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. However, Christians today, even members of the clergy, still wait for the returning Messiah to come on the clouds. Through the Creation, God created man and woman. A man alone cannot complete the providence. The man must have a partner—a woman! Christianity arose so that among humankind they would know this and prepare the foundation for it. However, it is still evening. They are unable to wake up from their slumber. The Bible says, there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. The evening sleep was so long that when the time came for Christians to greet a new morning, they are unable to do so. What must we do then? We must reveal the truth! We must wake them up from their sleep and in this new era, we must give them the love that will contribute to completing the providence centered on True Parents. That was why I said you should reveal the truths of history. While you were hesitating, I myself went out and proclaimed, "I am the only daughter of God." What was the result? Members of America’s clergy, ACLC, welcomed me. They asked, How did we not know this truth?

What are you afraid of? The world has reached its limit. In this situation, there is no hope for humankind nor hope that we can remain living on this earth. Many scientists are concerned about what will happen to the planet in the next few years. Can humankind survive if there is no Earth? If we just watch when we are in this situation, we cannot ensure the future of our descendants or future generations. Therefore, each of you, each of your families, must all do the work of a hundred people and be victorious. You must teach people the truth. Therefore, I also decided to do this in America. There is no doubt that America is a large nation; it has fifty states. America will be a region divided into five sub-regions. They made the determination that no matter what, they will become a nation that fulfills its responsibilities. The three central nations will unite under one system, one organization and help one another to advance toward our goal! The three nations will form a trinity, communicate with one another and share their results. I felt we must have an organization that can be 120 percent effective during the remaining time we have. Therefore, today I am looking at Japan as a region and have divided it into five sub-regions. By doing this, I believe that Japan too will move quickly towards national restoration. By doing this, all the work I have been doing since Father’s seonghwa will be in order. Now you are heavenly [shin] tribal messiahs! You must become tribal messiahs in which the “shin” does not mean “new” but means “tribal messiahs that attend God.” Therefore, we are building the Cheonbowon [Genealogy Center] so that your devotions and hard work can be reported to Heaven and you can leave behind a record of your results. I pray that all of you here today can become filial children, loyal patriots that can enter into the records there.

2000 years ago, God sent Jesus Christ, to become the first victorious human

Hak Ja Han

Busan Family South Korea Church

I am truly happy to see you all. I have some good news: My autobiography will be published this November. An interesting set of circumstances comes out on the first page. True Father once said that God's only daughter, the one to become the True Mother, must come from a family in which three generations followed Christianity. When the Independence Movement arose in 1919, my grandmother, Won-Mo Jo, took part in the movement that shouted Mansei for Korea's independence, while carrying my mother Soon-ae Hong (Dae-Mo nim) on her back. I was born in 1943 and Korea's liberation came in 1945. Then again, Grandmother Won-Mo Jo carried her granddaughter on her back and shouted mansei for Korea's liberation. Isn't that somewhat odd? This is because ours was a family Heaven had prepared.

Christianity and God's only daughter

Two thousand years ago, God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to become the first victorious human ancestor and True Parent. However, neither Mary, who gave birth to him, Zachariah's family, nor Judaism recognized him. God had finally sent the long, long-awaited Messiah to the Israelites whom he had worked so hard to guide and raise for four thousand years. If those Israelites failed to recognize Jesus, how should we view that?

Though the Bible does not fully express it, Jesus brought up the issue to Mary of him needing to get married several times during his thirty-three years of life. Mary did not fulfill her responsibility. How could she have many children between her and Joseph? She married them all off, yet did not fulfill her duties toward Jesus. Jesus, who had lost all environments, had no place to advance to anymore. But at least, he was able to open the way to spiritual salvation through the cross. That is why he promised to return as he died on the cross. He clearly taught that he would return to have the marriage supper of the Lamb.

The two-thousand-year history of the Christian faith begins in earnest after Jesus' disciples received rebirth through the Holy Spirit. For the Bible to come out took some time, and this resulted in many mistakes being repeatedly committed.

The Bible became available to the laity after it was translated from Hebrew into English in the seventeenth century. This gave rise to a movement advocating religious freedom.

A good representation of this movement is the United States of America. It was through the United States that God made preparations for the returning Messiah. The path Heaven took to find humanity after humanity had become lost was tremendously difficult. The course was deeply painful. For God's only daughter, who was to have become Jesus' partner in marriage at the marriage supper of the Lamb, to have emerged through the two-thousand-year Christian providence was essential. Without the birth of God's only daughter, the returning Messiah could not emerge as a True Parent, despite his having returned.

I was born in 1943. Korea received its liberation in 1945. Back then, True Father was in southern Korea. God, however, told True Father, while he was in the south, to go north. Do you understand what that required? It required absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. This was the process of firmly establishing the position of God's only son.

God's only daughter completes the Providence

Heaven had to give me a period of growth, the period during which I became mature. Back then, Korea was in an environment from which the nation could easily have become communist. When Korea was liberated, I was living in the north, because our family believed the Messiah would return in Pyongyang. We were members of a group that offered tremendous devotion, guided by the Holy Spirit and the truth. We were waiting for the returning Messiah, well aware that he would return in the flesh and not on the clouds.

Many men headed south; they would be forced to join the North Korean army were they to remain in the north. Our family did not consider going to the south until we heard news of my uncle. He was studying pharmacology in a Japanese university. After Korea's liberation, we thought he would return home.

Instead, we received news that he had joined the army in South Korea. Since we believed that the returning Messiah would return to Pyongyang, we were not even thinking of going south. However, upon hearing that my uncle, who was also the only son in the family, had entered the army in the south, all three women in the family, including my grandmother (Dae-Mo nim) and I made the southward journey, moving only during the nighttime throughout the journey. Many dramatic incidents took place during that journey.

Two years after I moved south, the Korean War broke out. God's only daughter, who can rise to the position of a True Parent and is to restore lost humanity, was born after six thousand years. Hence, she had to be protected. Heaven had to protect me until I became mature enough to speak on my own volition. Not many among you went through the Korean War. We experienced the miracle of having God with us amidst those circumstances. Though I was young, I felt it was not right to make Heaven wait for much longer, so I decided to take action, thinking, "I am the only one who can do it." Hence, no person needed to educate me.

When you look into the Bible, Adam and Eve were able to speak with God, one-to-one. I did so too. No person taught me the Principle or anything else. Even Father did not. I made my own decisions.

The Principle is not perfect. The section on the Second Coming in the second part of the Divine Principle had to be about the True Parents' ideology. Don't you think so? The Principle of Creation must also be rectified. The Bible says God conducted the Creation for six days and rested on the seventh day. It is also mentioned that evening passed and morning came, and that was the first day. This, however, does not refer to an actual concept of time.

As you all know, when a couple marries and conceives a child, the child is in the womb for ten months. The baby is born after those ten months. Likewise, God's creation didn't appear simply from God's verbal command. There was a process. Furthermore, life is not born from man alone. A man alone cannot give birth to life. That is why God created a man and woman. However, it isn't that way in the Bible.

Following True Father's holy ascension, I waited and waited before I declared in front of American pastors, "I am God's only daughter." The religious leaders all applauded upon hearing it, saying, "Why didn't we know of something so reasonable and right?"

Catholic priests aren't literally brides. It is God's only daughter that must emerge in front of the returning Messiah. In other words, a woman must emerge.

Sadly, women have been ignored. That is why the providence could not be completed. The completion of the providence begins from God's only daughter.

May Shin Gyeongsang advance

Before coming here today, you were able to offer devotions again at the Busan holy ground. It must now be revealed that Father began his course here and prepared to meet God's only daughter. Did you know that, or not? In 1960, we emerged as the True Parents. The first thing we did after that was conduct the blessing ceremony. Heavenly Parent's dream and humanity's wish is for us, humanity, to interact with Heavenly Parent as our own parents; that is, become beloved children who can enter their presence. The Fall, however, blocked that path, and it is True Parents alone who can re-open that way.

As the True Parents, it is embarrassing that the True Children do not know how True Parents emerged. God's creation is the same. After Adam's and Eve's births, God gave them a period of growth. That was a period of education. If they had grown and attained perfection, focusing only on God in absolute unity with God, not looking to the side, and listening only to the word, from God, that place of perfection would have been one with God. That place would have been one in which Heavenly Parent and True Parents attained unity.

Heavenly Parent, who remained in spirit for a long time, wanted to embrace and love his children as true parents of this visible, physical world. However, that tremendous grace was lost through the Fall. And it is True Parents who restored that grace!

There are no second or third True Parents. There is only one couple, True Parents. Your second- and third-generation children also call us True Parents, True Mother. It is essential for the long-time members to digest this well. True Parents were established for eternity. Hence, if you refrain from looking elsewhere and become one with God's only daughter, the True Mother, you will be victorious!

You have responsibilities as blessed children in front of True Parents, in front of Heavenly Parent. You must achieve national restoration. The Heavenly Gyeongsang nation needs ascend even faster. Will you do that? [Yes] I'll put my trust in you. I love you.

You Will Advance by Uniting with True Mother - Family Church of Busan, South Korea

True Mother spoke at the Family Church in Busan on July 25, 2019, following the Heavenly Gyeongsang Subregion 3 rally “Special Assembly for the Victory of Vision 2020.”

I am truly happy to meet you all. I have some good news. My autobiography will be published this November. A particular incident appears on the first page of that book. True Father once stated that God’s only Begotten Daughter, the one who would become the True Mother, would appear from a family of three generations of Christians. In 1919, during the Independence Movement, my grandmother on my mother’s side, Grandmother Cho Wonmo, marched and shouted mansei for Korea’s independence while carrying my mother, Hong Soon-ae, who is Dae-mo nim, on her back. I was born in 1943 and the country was liberated in 1945. At that time, Grandmother Cho Wonmo again marched and cheered for the independence of Korea, this time while carrying me, her granddaughter, on her back. Isn’t that remarkable? This is because ours was a family Heaven had prepared.

Christianity and God’s only Begotten Daughter

Two thousand years ago, God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to become the first victorious human ancestor and True Parent. However, neither Mary, who gave birth to him, nor Zechariah’s family, nor Judaism recognized him. God had finally sent the long-awaited Messiah to the Israelites, with whom He had worked so hard to guide and raise for 4,000 years, and yet those Israelites failed to recognize Jesus. What lesson should we take from this?

Though the Bible does not fully express it, several times during his thirty-three years of life Jesus brought up to his mother, Mary, the matter of his needing to get married. Mary did not fulfill her responsibilities. How could she have many children with Joseph, and send them all off in marriage, yet not fulfill her responsibilities toward Jesus? Jesus lost the entire environment that God had prepared, and this left him with no way to advance. That is why he followed the path of the cross, by which he at least was able to open the way to spiritual salvation. And that is why, as he died on the cross, he promised to come again. He clearly taught that he would return to host the marriage supper of the Lamb.

In Christianity’s history, how was it that Mary came to be seen as the Holy Mother? It was the result of ignorance. The 2,000-year Christian history began in earnest after Jesus’ disciples were reborn through the Holy Spirit. It took some time for the Bible to come out, and this resulted in the many mistakes repeatedly made by Christianity. Protestantism, as well as communism, are some of the fruits born of such a history.

The Bible became available to the laity after it was translated from the original tongues into English in the 17th century. This gave rise to a religious freedom movement. A good representative of this movement is the United States of America. It was through the United States that God made preparations for the returning Messiah. The path Heaven took to find humanity, which had lost its way, was tremendously difficult. It was too painful. It was essential that God’s only Begotten Daughter, the one who was to become the Messiah’s partner in marriage at the marriage supper of the Lamb, be born on the foundation of the 2000 year Christian providence. If God’s only Begotten Daughter does not appear, then even if the Lord returns he cannot advance to the position of the True Parents.

I was born in 1943, and Korea gained liberation in 1945. Back then, True Father was in South Korea. God, however, told True Father to go north. Do you know what that meant? It meant that he had to have absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. This was the process of firmly establishing the position of God’s only Begotten Son.

God’s only Begotten Daughter completes the Providence

Heaven had to give me a period of growth, a period to become mature. Back then, Korea was an environment that could easily become communist. When Korea was liberated from Japan, our family stayed in the North, because we believed the Messiah would return in Pyongyang. We were members of a group that offered tremendous devotion, guided by the Holy Spirit and the truth. We were waiting for the returning Messiah, and were well aware that he would return in the flesh and not on the clouds.

Many men were going to the south, because all men in the north had to join the North Korean People’s Army. Our family did not consider going to the South until we heard news of my uncle. He was studying pharmacology in a Japanese university. After Korea’s liberation, we thought he would return home. Instead, we received news that he had joined the army in South Korea. Since we believed that the returning Messiah would return to Pyongyang, we were not even thinking of going south. However, upon hearing that my uncle, who was also the only son in the family, had entered the army in the south, all three in this family of women—my grandmother, Dae-mo nim and I—made the journey southward, moving only at nighttime. Many dramatic incidents took place during the journey. Two years after I moved south, the Korean War broke out.

God’s only Begotten Daughter, who can rise to the position of a True Parent and is to restore lost humanity, had been born after 6,000 years. Hence, she had to be protected. Heaven had to protect me until I became mature enough to speak according to my own will. Not many among you went through the Korean War. We experienced the miracle of having God with us amid those circumstances. Though I was young, I felt it was not right to make Heaven wait for much longer. I decided to take action, thinking, “I am the only one who can do it.” No person needed to educate me in that. The Bible says that Adam and Eve were able to speak with God, one on one. I did so too. No person taught me the Principle or educated me in any way. Even Father did not. I made those decisions.

The Divine Principle is not complete. The chapter on the Second Advent in its second part should include True Parents’ ideology. Don’t you think so? The Principle of Creation must also be made more accurate. The Bible says God conducted the Creation process for six days and rested on the seventh day. It also says that there was evening and there was morning, one day. This, however, is not meant to explain a concept of time. As you all know, when a couple marries and conceives a child, the child is in the womb for a period of ten lunar months. The baby is born after those ten months. Likewise, God’s creation didn’t happen instantly based upon God’s verbal command. There was a process. And what’s more, life is not born from man alone. A man alone cannot give birth to life. That is why God created a man and a woman. However, the Bible doesn’t explain this clearly.

Following True Father’s holy ascension, I waited and waited before I declared in front of American pastors, “I am God’s only Begotten daughter.” The pastors all applauded upon hearing it, saying, “Why didn’t we know of something so reasonable and right?” Catholic priests aren’t brides of Christ.

How can a man marry a man? God’s only Begotten Daughter must emerge to stand before the returning Messiah. In other words, a woman must emerge. Sadly, women have been ignored. That is why the providence could not be completed. The completion of the providence begins from God’s only Begotten Daughter.

May the Shin Gyeongsang nation advance

Before coming here today, you were able to offer devotions again at the Busan Holy Ground. It must now be revealed that here is where Father began his course and prepared to meet God’s only Begotten Daughter. Did you know that, or not? In 1960, we emerged as the True Parents. The first thing we did after that was conduct the Blessing ceremony. Heavenly Parent’s dream is for humanity to call Heavenly Parent our own parents and become beloved children who can enter His presence. The Fall blocked our path, and it is the True Parents alone who can reopen it.

It is embarrassing for us as the True Parents that the True Children do not understand how the True Parents came to emerge. God feels the same with respect to His creation. After Adam and Eve’s births, God gave them a period of growth. That was a period for education. If they had looked only to God and had absolutely united with Him and listened to His words alone, they would have matured and reached perfection in a position that was one with God. That place would have been one in which Heavenly Parent and True Parents are one.

Heavenly Parent, who had remained in spirit for such a long time, wanted to embrace and love His children as the True Parents of this visible, physical world. However, that tremendous grace was lost through the Fall. And it is the True Parents who have restored that grace!

There are no second or third True Parents. There is only one couple, True Parents. Your second- and third-generation children also call us True Parents, True Mother. It is essential for the long-time Unificationists to digest this well. True Parents were established for eternity. Hence, do not be distracted, for if you become one with God’s only begotten daughter, the True Mother, you will be victorious!

You have responsibilities as blessed children in front of True Parents, in front of Heavenly Parent. You must achieve national restoration. The heavenly Gyeongsang nation needs to move forward even faster. Will you do that? [Yes.] I put my trust in you. I love you.

No person taught me the Principle or educated me in any way. Even Father did not. I made those decisions.

The Divine Principle is not complete. The chapter on the Second Advent in its second part should include True Parents' ideology. Don't you think so? The Principle of Creation must also be made more accurate. The Bible says God conducted the Creation process for six days and rested on the seventh day. It also says that there was evening and there was morning, one day. This, however, is not meant to explain a concept of time. As you all know, when a couple marries and conceives a child, the child is in the womb for a period of ten lunar months. The baby is born after those ten months. Likewise, God's creation didn't happen instantly based upon God's verbal command. There was a process. And what's more, life is not born from man alone. A man alone cannot give birth to life. That is why God created a man and a woman. However, the Bible doesn't explain this clearly.

Following True Father's holy ascension, I waited and waited before I declared in front of American pastors, "I am God's only Begotten daughter." The pastors all applauded upon hearing it, saying, "Why didn't we know of something so reasonable and right?" Catholic priests aren't brides of Christ. How can a man marry a man? God's only Begotten Daughter must emerge to stand before the returning Messiah. In other words, a woman must emerge. Sadly, women have been ignored. That is why the providence could not be completed. The completion of the providence begins from God's only Begotten Daughter.

May the Shin Gyeongsang nation advance

Before coming here today, you were able to offer devotions again at the Busan Holy Ground. It must now be revealed that here is where Father began his course and prepared to meet God's only Begotten Daughter. Did you know that, or not? In 1960, we emerged as the True Parents. The first thing we did after that was conduct the Blessing ceremony. Heavenly Parent's dream is for humanity to call Heavenly Parent our own parents and become beloved children who can enter His presence. The Fall blocked our path, and it is the True Parents alone who can reopen it.

It is embarrassing for us as the True Parents that the True Children do not understand how the True Parents came to emerge. God feels the same with respect to His creation. After Adam and Eve's births, God gave them a period of growth. That was a period for education. If they had looked only to God and had absolutely united with Him and listened to His words alone, they would have matured and reached perfection in a position that was one with God. That place would have been one in which Heavenly Parent and True Parents are one.

Heavenly Parent, who had remained in spirit for such a long time, wanted to embrace and love His children as the True Parents of this visible, physical world. However, that tremendous grace was lost through the Fall. And it is the True Parents who have restored that grace!

There are no second or third True Parents. There is only one couple, True Parents. Your second- and third-generation children also call us True Parents, True Mother. It is essential for the long-time Unificationists to digest this well. True Parents were established for eternity. Hence, do not be distracted, for if you become one with God's only begotten daughter, the True Mother, you will be victorious!

You have responsibilities as blessed children in front of True Parents, in front of Heavenly Parent. You must achieve national restoration. The heavenly Gyeongsang nation needs to move forward even faster. Will you do that? [Yes.] I put my trust in you. I love you.

You Will Be Victorious if You Unite With Me, the Only Begotten Daughter of God

It is good to see you. I have some good news. In November, my biography will be published. On the first page, it talks about this: in True Father's speeches, he said that the only begotten Daughter of God, the one who would become Mother, would appear from a family of three generations of Christians. In 1919, during the Independence Movement, my grandmother on my mother's side, Grandma Cho Won-mo, carried Hong Soon-ae, who is Dae-mo nim, on her back and joined the rally for the independence of Korea. And in 1943 I was born and the country was liberated in 1945. At that time, Grandma Cho Wonmo carried me, her granddaughter, on her back and again cheered for the independence of Korea. Isn't that interesting? Heaven prepared our family.

The 2,000-year Christian providence was the providence to prepare for the only begotten Daughter of God

Two thousand years ago, Heaven sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ who could become the victorious human ancestor and the True Parents. However, Mary, who gave birth to him, Zachariah, and the Jewish Church, did not recognize him. For four thousand years Heaven toiled, guided, and taught the Israelites and finally sent them the Messiah they longed for. Yet what should we think of them for not recognizing Jesus?

The Bible does not express everything, but on his 33rd birthday he told Mary several times that he must marry. However, Mary failed in her responsibility. How could she have had so many children with Joseph? If she married all of them off then why did she fail in her responsibility toward Jesus Christ? Jesus had lost his entire environmental realm and had no way to advance. Through the path of the cross, he was at least able to open the way to spiritual salvation. That is why he said that he would come gain as he died on the cross. He clearly taught that he would return and host the marriage supper of the Lamb.

In Christianity's history, how did Mary become the Holy Mother? It was ignorant to do so. The twothousand- year Christian history began with the revival of its believers through the Holy Spirit. It took time until the Bible was created. Therefore, many failures occurred throughout Christianity's history. That is why there was no alternative but for the Protestant Church and then Communism to appear. As I have said, the Bible became accessible to laypeople when it was translated from Hebrew to English in the 17th century, which gave rise to the movement for religious freedom.

The representative nation of this movement is America. Heaven meant to prepare for the returning Lord through America, but the course in search of human beings that were lost to Him was extremely difficult. It was filled with pain. The two-thousand-year Christian providence only needed to give birth to the only begotten Daughter of God who would become Jesus' partner to hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. You must understand that if the only begotten Daughter does not appear, then even if the Lord returns he cannot advance to the position of the True Parents.

I was born in 1943 and Korea was liberated in 1945. At that time, Father was in South Korea. Heaven spoke to Father in South Korea and told him to go north. Do you know what this means? It means absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. It is the process of seeking the position of the only begotten Son of God.

The completion of the providence begins with the only begotten Daughter of God

Heaven had to give me a growth period, a time for me to mature. At that time, Korea was in a situation in which it could be communized. I was in the North until Korea was liberated. Because it was revealed the returning Lord would come through Pyeongyang and we believed in that. With the Holy Spirit and the Truth, we were a group that offered more devotion than anyone else did and waiting for the Messiah to come, not riding on clouds, but in a physical body.

Many men went down south. Because if you were in the North then you had to join the North Korean People's Army. We could not consider going south ourselves but then we received news from my uncle. We had thought he was studying medicine in a Japanese university and would return home after liberation, but he said that he had joined the South Korean army. Our household believed firmly that the returning Lord would come to Pyeongyang and did not consider going south but my uncle who was my grandma's only son, joined the military so us three women, my grandmother, Dae-mo nim, and I, departed southward in the middle of the night. Even then, many things happened that would seem like a TV drama.

Two years after I went south the Korean War broke out. The only begotten Daughter of God, which Heaven had lost, was finally born for the first time in six thousand years. She would be able to restore the position of the True Parents and restore all of humankind therefore Heaven had to protect her. Among you who are gathered here, there are probably very few of you who survived the Korean War. However, in that situation, together with God a miraculous event occurred. I was young at the time, but I could not allow Heaven to wait any longer and I stepped up with the heart, "it has to be me." No one else taught me to do that.

In the Bible, Adam and Eve speak freely with God. It is the same for me. No one had taught me the Principle or educated me in any way. Father didn't even do that. I made my own decision.

Brothers and sisters, the Divine Principle is not perfect. Part II should have a chapter on the True Parents not the Second Advent. Don't you think so? We should also correct the Principle of Creation. In the Bible, it says that God completed the Creation in six days and rested on the seventh. It says that there was evening and there was morning and that was the first day. Those words are not a concept of time.

As you probably know, when a couple marry and conceive a baby, the baby has a ten-month [growth] period and it is born ten months later. In the same way, could God complete His Creation using only words? There is a process. Also, to give birth to life, a man cannot do it himself. A man cannot give birth to life on his own. That is why God created man and woman. However, the Bible does not state it clearly this way.

After Father ascended, I waited and waited and finally was the first to announce, "I am the only begotten Daughter of God" to the American ministers. Then the ministers applauded. They questioned, "Why didn't we know something so reasonable and valid?" The Catholic priest's mission is not currently as it should be; how does a man marry a man? The returning Lord who said he would come again needs the only begotten Daughter to appear. A woman has to appear. Yet the woman was neglected. That is why the providence could not be completed. The completion of the providence begins with the only begotten Daughter of God.

Heavenly Gyeongsang District should roll up its sleeves and move quickly for national restoration

You have offered devotion again at the Busan holy ground today and now we must reveal it. Father began [his ministry] here and prepared to meet the only begotten Daughter of God. Do you know this or not? In 1960, we advanced to the position of the True Parents. Afterward, the very first thing we did was a Blessing event. Heavenly Parent's dream and humankind's wish!

Heavenly Parent hoped that we would call Him our Parent and that we would become children who can go in front of Him and receive His love. However, that path was blocked due to the Fall. The only people who can open the way is True Parents. It is embarrassing as the True Parents that the True Children do not understand how the True Parents were born. It is the same for God's Creation. After giving birth to Adam and Eve, God gave them a growth period as a time to learn. If they had looked only to God without averting their eyes and absolutely united with him and listened to only His words, they would have matured and reached perfection in a position that was one with God. It is a position in which Heavenly Parent and True Parents are one.

The Parent, who had existed to you for a long time only in spirit, desires to embrace and love His children as the True Parents in the physical world. The Fall is what lost us from this amazing grace. The People who have restored that grace is the True Parents.

There is no second or third True Parents. There is only one True Parents. Your second- and thirdgeneration children will call us True Parents or True Mother. Our long-time elder members should undertake this well. The True Parents are forever only one person. Therefore, do not stray otherwise and if you unite with the only begotten Daughter of God, True Mother, you will be victorious.

In front of True Parents and in front of Heavenly Parent, you have responsibility as Blessed children. You must restore your nation. The Heavenly Gyeongsang District must roll up its sleeves and move quickly. Will you do that? (Yes.) I believe in you, I love you.

The First Human Ancestors Did Not Grow According to God's Will and Fell

Chungcheong Hyo Jeong True Family Hope Festival 2019
Yu Gwan Sun Sports Complex, South Chungcheong Province, Cheonan South Korea

Distinguished guests, blessed families who have received the blessing here today, and members of the Chungcheong Family Federation! This year marks exactly a hundred years since Christian leaders and students arose and shouted for Korea's independence, particularly inspired by patriot Gwan-sun Yu. Their hope was to establish a Korea with God and protected by God. However, when you look at the reality today, Korea is not the unified nation that they had hoped for. Today, I would like to talk about what the mission of the chosen people is.

When you look at the six-thousand-year human history, the first human ancestors were not able to grow according to God's will and ended up falling. As a result, humanity has followed a path having nothing to do with God. However, since God, our Creator, formed his creation with an eternal vision, he could not do anything other than conduct the providential history of salvation to restore humanity. To do that, Heaven chose the Israelites from among fallen humanity as his chosen people. He had to raise them from the individual level to that of the family, tribe, people, and nation.

How difficult must it have been that it took God four thousand years to do that! Not just forty years but four thousand years! It was only after four thousand years that God sent Jesus Christ, his only son, whom he could call, "My son!" Unfortunately, the chosen people did not know God, the Creator. They also did not know that Jesus Christ had come.

It was after the extended period of four thousand years of restoration through indemnity that God was able to send his only son, whom he could call "My son." What path did the Israelites end up following after failing to become one with him? Jesus lost all the prepared environments and ended up dying on the cross. Yet, faithful followers of Christianity today sincerely believe that they are saved through the blood Jesus shed on the cross.

Find inspiration in history

While dying on the cross, Jesus promised to return. He said he would return and conduct the marriage supper of the Lamb. Christians, however, did not grasp the true meaning of those words. We are in a time when we must see the completion of human history, a time when we must complete the providence. The Korean people are also a people God has chosen. You all know that to bring back the flamboyant history of Gojoseon [ancient Joseon] they founded Goguryeo. They were a people that revered Heaven, whom they also called Cheon Ji Shin Myeong.

Originally, God, the Creator, created plus and minus, pistil and stamen, male and female, and a man and woman who were to become the first human ancestors. He created them in his image. God gave humans a portion of the responsibility and a period of growth. Through these, they were to fulfill their responsibilities and attain perfection. That place of perfection is the same as God's.

The first human ancestors were supposed to grow in absolute unity with God. Their failure to do so has produced today's fallen humanity. As a result, human history cannot be eternal.

We have had large, small and successful nations throughout history. Yet none has lasted for eternity. This is because the original owner is God, the Creator. Since our Creator created man with an eternal vision, he needed to restore humankind, which had lost its way. That was the providential history of salvation. Through the first chosen people, the Israelites, God sent Jesus Christ as his only son.

A new chosen people

The chosen people, however, were not able to fulfill their responsibilities. In accordance with God's Principle of Creation, God does not work again through a people that failed to fulfill their responsibilities. That is because they have indemnity left to pay. Heaven then selected the Korean people, Asians, as his chosen people. As a people who revered Heaven's will, this chosen people always attended Heaven first in their daily lives. As they waited for the returning Messiah, who had promised to return, the Korean people needed to make preparations for God's only daughter (whose birth could not take place two thousand years ago) to finally be born on the Christian foundation.

God's only daughter was born in 1943. God must also give his only daughter a period of growth. Korea's liberation came in 1945. The Korean War broke out in 1950 and Korea became divided into North Korea and South Korea. It took some time for South Korea to form a mature democratic system. In contrast, this was a time when North Korea had already established one system and was making plans to invade South Korea in one fell swoop. Since God had to give his only daughter a period of growth in accordance with the Principle of Creation, God had to protect me. So he made me go to the South.

During the Korean War, UN forces from sixteen nations intervened and protected democracy in South Korea. Under Heaven's protection, Korea today has joined the ranks of developed nations in the economic sector. Yet, this nation remains divided into North Korea and South Korea. We know that unity will be difficult to attain through political power, economic power, or other human-centered methods. What should we do? In this era, even superpowers cannot survive alone. This is a time when we must all live in harmony with one another.

Korea and Japan need cross-cultural blessings

However, at the center of it all, a movement to attend God, our Creator, must arise. The True Parents, who are responsible to complete providential history, emerged in 1960. Fallen human beings cannot enter God's presence by themselves. They can only do so through rebirth and the marriage blessing from True Parents. True Parents, who foresaw the problems and future this nation would face, began to conduct cross-cultural marriage blessing ceremonies a long time ago. It has been almost thirty years since we began to educate the young people of Korea and Japan, enemy nations, and to conduct blessing ceremonies that will bring them together in marriage.

Today, we see children of some Korean politicians or other leaders who are trying to evade mandatory military service. However, more than four thousand young people born to couples from our blessing ceremonies have either begun or have completed their military service even at the cost of giving up one of their nationalities. Many blessed families are following True Parents in this way in about 190 nations. And their hope is to realize one great world of peace that is within Heavenly Parent's bosom, the kingdom of God on earth. If blessed families fulfill their responsibilities, that dream will surely come true within your generation.

All couples that receive the blessing today, as well as all blessed families here with us, are chosen blessed families who are to complete history and Heaven's providence. There cannot be a nation that is an enemy to a chosen nation or family. This is because we are all one family centered on God and True Parents. I sincerely hope that you all become blessed families of the Heavenly Chungcheong nation, who attend Heavenly Parent, practice True Parents' teachings in your lives, and fulfill your responsibilities as blessed chosen people.

Heaven Raised Korea to Fulfill Providential History

The 13th anniversary of True Parents' coronation and entrance into Cheon Jeong Gung

When we look into Heaven's providential history, if Adam and Eve, who were to become humanity's ancestors, had fulfilled their responsibilities, as God, the Creator, originally had planned, human history wouldn't be what it is today. There would not be a providential history of restoration through indemnity or a providence of salvation.

Regardless of the Fall of humanity's ancestors, God had to fulfill the ideal he envisaged at the time of the Creation. Hence, God had no choice but to conduct the providence of salvation.

As you are well aware, God established a people that he called his chosen people. He worked hard to establish this people, raising them from the individual level to that of the family, tribe, people and nation. Imagine how difficult it must have been that it took God four thousand years to conduct the providence of salvation centered on the first chosen people. Finally God sent to them the long-awaited Messiah, Jesus Christ.

And yet, what happened? The first chosen people, the Israelites, failed. Jesus died on the cross, though he promised to return. The providence of salvation that unfolded after Jesus' promise is the two-thousandyear Christian history that we are aware of today. Unfortunately, adherents of Christianity were unable to completely comprehend God.

God is our father and mother

Furthermore, they did not understand why the Messiah had to return. This was the issue. God's only son was born through the first chosen people. God created a man and a woman. What you need to know is that the creation of the universe was possible because God, our Creator, exists as God the Father and God the Mother. In his image, God created the first human ancestors. He created a man and a woman. This was the principle by which God created the universe! God created our universe to last for eternity. Hence, a man and a woman, able to fulfill their responsibilities -- a man and a woman with no fallen conditions whatsoever -- must appear from among fallen humanity.

Two thousand years ago, God's only son emerged from among the Israelites. God's only daughter, however, did not. Heaven does not continue working through a people that does not fulfill its responsibilities. Why? Because their remaining indemnity must be paid....

The chosen people! A chosen people is a people blessed by Heaven. However, this position comes with responsibilities. They are accountable. Heaven must conclude providential history. God's only daughter was born on the Christian foundation, through the Korean people in 1943.

Age-old Korean faith

These days, I'm watching Jumong again [A historical drama series that aired beginning in 2006] to educate my grandchildren. The term, "cheon ji shin myeong" [gods governing heaven and earth] comes up many times in the series. The mediation of female priests is vital in this relationship. The Korean people, ultimately, are a people Heaven raised to conclude providential history. They are his chosen people. The issue, however, is that responsibility comes with that position. True Parents, who finally emerged on earth after six thousand years, opened the door through which fallen humanity can now go to Heavenly Parent as his true children.

The Christian foundation could not become an environment for True Parents. Even now, Christians in this nation are unaware of the providence. They do not know what they should wait for. They do not know what mission the Messiah will bring with him. True Parents laid today's global foundation from scratch [from nothing].

Unfortunately, Korea, which should become the providence's flagship nation, remains in the dark, just as a lamp cannot illuminate its own base. This is why, for seven years, I have worked on creating an environment that people can see and verify with their own eyes.

In Las Vegas, I brought Christian pastors together and declared in front of them, "I am God's only daughter." What is the path Christianity should take? What is at the end of that path? To save humanity, until now, God has allowed different religions to emerge that fit the people of their respective regions. We categorize religions roughly into four main types; however, what is their conclusion? Their conclusion is also God's only daughter, the True Mother. Do you understand? Giving birth to a life cannot happen with only a father. A mother is needed. A life is born through the mother. The same applies to Christian history and to human history. Hence, this nation and this people must fulfill their responsibilities as the chosen people.

This means that while I am still on earth, the day should come when this people, this nation's people, attends the True Mother, the True Parents. Do you understand? You are the central figures of this time. Please fulfill your responsibilities.
