Arise, Heavenly Warriors

Cheongshim International Youth Center

Who are you? You are the Cheon Il Guk Special Forces who must work hard to create the environment to expand Cheon Il Guk throughout the world as you attend True Parents. Brave warriors! I hope that you will go out with that confidence. Originally, God, the Creator, made all things in the universe and then he created Adam and Eve, who were to become humankind's first ancestors.

God gave Adam and Eve responsibilities. During the growth period, they should have achieved absolute oneness in heart, oneness in body and oneness in harmony with God and lived their lives without ever leaving God. However, during the growth period, Adam and Eve greedily focused on themselves.

Through that, their great mistake occurred, which we call the Fall, as a result of which they had no alternative but to leave God's side. While the omniscient and omnipotent God had no alternative but to conduct the providence according to the principles he had created, in line with his purpose for having created. Therefore, God had no alternative but to search from within fallen humankind for a person who could fulfill humankind's responsibility through the providence of the restoration by paying indemnity.

This was the four-thousand-year course of restoration through indemnity to raise the Israelites, which we know of from the Bible, to create a national foundation beginning from the individual, the tribe and race in order to send Jesus Christ, whom God called "my son." Jesus had no relationship with Satan. However, Jesus could not lead the providence on his own. The people around Jesus -- Mary, Zachariah's family, Judaic figures, and the Israelites -- did not fulfill their responsibilities. If Jesus at that time had been able to fulfill his responsibilities, he would have met the only daughter of God and they'd have become the True Parents.

At that time, the external foundation Heaven had prepared was a vast and powerful empire, the Roman Empire, of which it was said, "all roads lead to Rome." Jesus and the united Israelites would have been able to absorb Rome's problems. If that had happened, through the Roman Empire, God would have been able to achieve his dream of one human family under God.

Sending the only daughter

However, human beings made another mistake. Jesus said he would return and died on the cross. What was he to do when he returned, as he clearly stated he would? He said he would hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. After Jesus died on the cross, how did the development of Christianity begin? Christianity developed through the work of the Holy Spirit. However, Christians did not understand the nature of their own religion.

The two thousand years of Christian history constituted the providence to find Jesus' partner, the only daughter of God, when he came back for the marriage supper of the Lamb. Christians are unaware of this. Yet Heaven's providence had to continue to progress. Heaven could not send the only daughter of God through the Israelites, who had been able to fulfill their responsibilities.

Modern chosen people

Heaven had to select a people who would lead the providence with the highest standard. That people is what is today the Korean people. Then the only daughter of God, who was to be born after two thousand years, must come from a Christian background. Today, True Parents' dream and Heavenly Parent's -- the Creator's dream, as well as fallen humankind's dream, is to receive True Parents.

Human beings caused all of the problems that are occurring around the world today. It is the same in the backgrounds of religions, what is doable by humans alone has a limit. The problems of religious conflicts, ideological conflicts, and territorial conflicts today all arose from not knowing our parent. Originally, God, the Creator, was our owner and our parent. The world, and the people who do not attend God, our Creator, or attend True Parents -- who are working to realize God's dream -- will meet their end.

Becoming a unified nation

God's principles of creation are eternal. All created beings, which have not fallen, will continue to exist forever. Only fallen human beings have created many problems. What did I say earlier? Cheon Il Guk Special Forces, warriors... In the Special Forces, if True Parents give you an order, you must follow with absolute obedience. Our own hands will build the kingdom of heaven on earth, in which all people will attend God as their parent. With regard to this and in all areas, you must become the best.

In order to expand our global foundation, in 2016, I proposed the IAPP, comprising those whom the citizens of their respective nations have elected as legislators. What did we do in 2017 during the birthday and Foundation Day? Centered on the thirteen regions, what did True Parents ultimately proclaim at the US Senate in Washington DC? Legislators are people elected by the citizens of their nations.

In the existing UN, one person per nation, a politician or a diplomat, participates and they say they will solve problems. This method has not fully resolved anything. Only once since the UN was established has it played a role in helping True Parents, the returning Lord. That was during the Korean War, when sixteen nations agreed to participate in the fighting.

Since then, the UN has made effort in many ways but has not been able to find solutions. However, what will happen when all people are enlightened about the True Parents and receive the blessing through the IAPP and through legislators elected by the citizens of each nation? We can become one unified world.

In order for that to happen many things are unfolding throughout the world. Among them, the presidents of UPF, WFWP, and what is being established today... What does it say? [The International Association of Youths and Students for Peace] I appoint Emissary Robert Kittel as the international president of this organization. Emissary Kittel has been a missionary for more than forty years. He has especially worked hard in Asia and has educated many people.

Revitalize young people

He will not work only in Asia, but in all the nations around the world in which we have established IAPP, in order for us to realize with certainty national and global restoration by 2020. He will educate and guide the nations where IAPP is established, and the nations selected for the sake of national and global restoration and will guide them on the path of the blessing, so that those nations can assuredly become nations that will achieve Heaven's will. You that have come here today must not be idle in pursuing that responsibility. That is why you should be aware that you are a warrior, among the proud Cheon Il Guk Special Forces who attend True Parents!

The three people I named earlier, I hope you will unite for the sake of the global providence and fully invest yourselves for national and global restoration. Just as in olden times, during the Korean Shilla Kingdom, when to revive and protect the nation, they established Hwarang [a group of elite youths], only through the revitalization of the university movement and the CARP movement is national restoration possible.

That is why especially the central nations of the providence, Korea, Japan, and the United States must further develop CARP and raise many members of the Special Forces who will participate in national and global restoration. If the six thousand years of the providence of restoration through indemnity was like a dark winter, the time now when we are working for national and global restoration is the springtime of the providence.

I pray that you and those in charge of you can sow many healthy seeds, during this spring, so God can harvest people of talent and ability at the time he hoped for.

Because of True Parents we could pass through the dark human history and now we are welcoming the miracle of spring

Fourth Anniversary of Foundation Day Address

This is the new hope for our future. You can feel the energy, like nature eagerly awaiting the start of new life in the Spring. Because of True Parents we could pass through the dark human history and now we are welcoming the miracle of spring. Right now we are approaching the 4th anniversary of Foundation Day (the firm establishment of God’s nation). What should we do now? The dream of Heavenly Parent can be fulfilled with the advent of True Parents.

That is impossible if the 7.4 billion people of humanity don’t know about True Parents. Everyone here, our fellow Blessed Families, we must testify to let the people of the world know True Parents are here on earth and help the world realize how the providence is progressing all over the world.

To do this, you should not just follow. Take the lead and help create the expansion of True Parents’ foundation at the front line with total investment.

Therefore, UPF, WFWPI and SFWP (Students’ Federation for World Peace – a new organization in development) should be united together. We just established IAPP to educate and support each country. Invest all of your effort and be on the front line to realize Heavenly Parent’s dream.

We yearn for the peaceful reunification of Korea, the homeland of God. Shouldn’t we unite as one country? I will provide a special mission to fulfill this in a peaceful way.

Only True Parents can solve the world’s problems. Testify boldly and proudly about True Parents.

Will you do that?

Thank you.

How Science Can Help Make a Truly Better World

Hak Ja Han
February 4, 2017
Twenty-third International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences
Lotte Hotel in Jamshil, Seoul, Korea

The development of modern society gave humankind abundance. However, the problem we must consider is the following: The original owner of the earth is God our Creator. God created all things in the cosmos and then created humankind. He had a dream for the first ancestors of humankind. God gave the first ancestors the responsibility to unite with him during the growth stage. The first ancestors had to absolutely unite with God. However, during the growth stage Adam and Eve developed self-centered greed. They became greedy for things that were to come later. Due to that, they became the fallen ancestors of humankind who could not unite with God and his purpose of creation. Therefore, human history of today has been heaven's hard work and humankind's effort to correct what went wrong at the beginning.

When God created the cosmos he set up the principle of circulation, so it would last for eternity. However, because of the humankind's mistakes, our beautiful earth is sick. Throughout human history, continual wars have occurred. Those who already have plenty fight to get even more. Heaven gave us religions so that God could reach and raise humankind again, but those religions lost their original purpose and are fighting, unable to unite. It can be said that the nations that created all of these problems -- religious, ideological, and territorial disputes, and the even more severe problem of the violation of human rights -- are large nations, which have the most. When we look at these circumstances, we have to go out and correctly testify about God.

Rebuilding God's family

God's dream was to become humankind's parent. He wanted to embrace humankind as his children. Even the parents of this world hope for the best for their children. They hope their children succeed. How much more would the Creator, God, hope for that? There must have been a reason that God was unable to embrace humankind.

This was because human beings were unable to fulfill their responsibility. That responsibility was for humankind to be in the same position as God. Humankind would have been able to be in the same position as God if they had completed their responsibility. However humankind lost that.

The omnipotent omniscient God cannot change the ideal he held at the time of the Creation. Heaven went through great effort so that someone from among humankind who understands the providence and would go through the course of indemnity would come. As it explains in the Bible, during the long period of four thousand years, through the Israelites, indemnity for all the wrongs of the individual, the family, the tribe and the nation were paid, and finally Heaven was able to send the Savior, the Messiah. The Messiah came to become the True Parent. To become the True Parent, the man had come but a woman was needed also. It had been the responsibility of Jesus' mother, Mary; Zachariah's family, Judaic figures and the Israelites to prepare that environment, but they were unable to fulfill their responsibilities. If at that time, the Israelites had fulfilled their responsibilities, through the Roman Senate the world would have been embraced as one.

People with responsibilities, people who have been blessed, if they are unable to fulfill their responsibilities, indemnity will follow. Due to Satan's accusations, Jesus had to go the way of the cross, saying he would return. He said he would return to hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. What does this mean? This means he would return and absolutely become a True Parent. Fallen humankind cannot directly go before God. The Bible used this metaphor. They compared fallen humankind with the wild olive tree. It was said the wild olive tree was waiting for its owner. The owner is the True Parent. The True Parents will emerge and succeed over all indemnity. True Parents are the ones who will bless humankind and form true families, guiding them to realize the ideal God held at the time of the Creation, God's original plan.

Information scientists need

If you ask why I am speaking about this to you scientists today, it is because you must understand this. You must know heaven's secrets. You must know God. This planet is God's. It belongs to God. Humankind must also belong to God. You have invented many things in a variety of fields so that we can enjoy abundance in the twenty-first century. However, the by-products of these inventions endanger the lives of human beings and endanger the lives of all living things in the cosmos. If there is no future for the planet, there is no future for humankind. This is the direction we are heading. We cannot ignore this and only focus on researching things that are needed right now. Due to the selfish and incorrect thinking of people, creation is suffering and is sick. If we would have followed the direction God established at the Creation -- the principle of circulation -- no pollution would have developed.

In many ways scientific civilization caused much pollution. This is the reason I am reviving ICUS. We have to stop the threats that endanger human life and the survival of the planet. In that sense, I know that you love Heaven more than anyone else does and that you have worked with dedication in your areas of research. I am reviving ICUS because your efforts are greatly needed to create one human family centered on God, the kingdom of heaven on earth, so humankind, all 7.4 billion people, can enjoy healthy lives of freedom, unification and happiness. Thank you.

Heaven's Dream and Our Dream

International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace
Lotte Hotel in Jamshil, Western Seoul, Korea

Distinguished guests, esteemed members of the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace from a hundred and twenty countries, it is wonderful to see you all.

We all wish for a free world, a united, peaceful world. However, if you look at the world's current state, walls exist between religions and cultures and borders exist between countries. Nations are moving further toward selfishly putting their own benefit first, hindering the pursuit of a united world.

What happened to the wish that you and Heaven held? Originally, the true owner of the world was God. From all created things to all human beings, all belongs to God. However, humankind does not realize that. They do not understand the relationship between God and humanity.

That is why, throughout history, countless divisions and wars between nations have occurred. Nations' selfishness in pursuing only their own interests has pushed harmony and unity further away. This has been the history of civilization.

When we look at the reality of the world we live in, we worry that we will be unable to say that the future for our descendants is a hopeful one. If that is the case, for you to fulfill your responsibilities is important.

Originally, God, the Creator, made every other living thing and then made humankind's ancestors, Adam and Eve. God gave them responsibilities. Consequently, all human beings today are the result of Adam and Eve's inability to fulfill their responsibilities.

God, in human affairs

However, because of the principle of creation, God could not just sit back and watch fallen human beings. God originally had a dream for humankind. God wanted to be the true parent of humankind. However, humankind's ancestors, Adam and Eve, had hurt God. They thwarted God's dream. Nevertheless, God could not give up on the dream he had when creating human beings, the dream of embracing all humankind as his children.

Therefore, God developed messianism within the fallen world, so that a messiah, able to achieve God's dream and become the successful human ancestor, could come. In order to fulfill Heaven's dream, God chose a people from among those in the fallen world and prepared them for four thousand years through indemnity, restoration and education. Ultimately, after four thousand years, God was able to send his only son, the Messiah, who could fulfill his dream.

However, looking at history, we all know what happened to the only son of God. If two thousand years ago the only son, Jesus, had met the only daughter, they would have become the True Parents of all humankind. They would have realized the dream of one family under God through the great Cain-type empire, the Roman Empire.

As events transpired, the central figures around Jesus, the Israelites; that is, central people within Judaism, could not fulfill their responsibilities. Jesus had no choice but to take the way of the cross, saying he would return. Jesus said he would return and hold the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Those words meant that after the two thousand years of Christian history, when the Messiah would finally come, he would find the only daughter and they would become the True Parents of all humankind.

True Parents heal

When you look at the state of the world today, there is no center. Small nations and larger nations only think of their own interests. In our hearts, we all desire to have a united world -- a peaceful happy united world -- but so many walls block our way. However today, we have gathered here under one large dream, which means that you are dreaming the same dream as True Parents are and as God, our creator is. The only path to solving all the difficult problems of the world today is through the manifestation of the True Parents, who can heal all the problems of all nations, whether rich or poor. I am saying that all nations, all of you, must attend God, our Creator, our Heavenly Parent in your nations in order for world peace to come.

God raised True Parents through the long period of six thousand years, through the course of restoration through indemnity. True Parents are the only ones who (as the Bible says) can engraft the wild olive tree to the cultivated olive tree. It is only through that, through receiving the blessing from the True Parents, that you can stand as God's filial children.

Consider this: We who have gathered here today are in a parent– child relationship with God. You are able to be God's children, because the mistakes of our first human ancestors, which prevented us from uniting in a parent– child relationship with God, have been rectified through indemnity.

Restore your nations

Therefore, together with the True Parents, UPF and IAPP will become the Abel UN in name and in reality. That means that all the problems of the world will heal in reality, through True Parents. This movement, of creating the kingdom of heaven on earth through educating and healing with a parental heart, is Cheon Il Guk.

I would like to say today to the members of IAPP from many nations of the world, please become tribal messiahs of your respective nations. I pray that you will become proud national messiahs who will save the people of your nations by educating them through the teachings of the substantial True Parents. Will you do that? Thank you.
