True Parents’ Message at a Special Thanksgiving Banquet to Celebrate True Parents’ Victorious Rallies in Nagoya and Osaka

Cheon Jeong Gung, November 23, 2017

Today is Thanksgiving Day in America! Thanksgiving began with the Puritans. It was a day to prepare food from that year’s harvest, catch a turkey and give thanks to Heaven with your family. It was also a time of sharing and preparing for the next year, to start the new year with hope. We must become people who can realize Heavenly Parent’s dream and humankind’s wish through True Parents. We must become filial sons, filial daughters and loyal patriots in front of Heaven. However, the providence of restoration through indemnity, the providence of salvation, has been a very difficult and painful providence. Heaven endured and waited impatiently for a long period, six thousand years, which was a period when—in order to realize Heavenly Parent’s wish and embrace humankind as true children—we could not take even one step forward without paying indemnity. Humankind missed the opportunity for the most precious and joyful moment; they are people adrift with no sail or compass. What is the wish of people who are adrift? To reach land. The wish of fallen humankind is to meet the true owner, but they did not know where they were. They were confused. The religions for humankind that Heaven let thrive began by saying, Let’s live good lives. In order to do that, they had to be patient in such a way and work hard in such a way. What, though, was the result? What was the destination? They did not have an answer. Though this was not clear, Christianity explained that the relationship between the Creator God and people was a parent–child relationship. We must not be satisfied with only that.

Recently, I have said many times that I will reveal the truths of the providence. Heaven worked hard and created a foundation. God had to find his only son and his only daughter. After four thousand years, Heaven chose the people of Israel, who found the only son of God, Jesus Christ. The environment at that time drove him to the cross before he could fulfill his responsibilities! The central figures of that time! You know well that this led to indemnity having to be paid.

The Unification Church, HSA-UWC, had been unable to lay a foundation, so we could not say anything and waited. We could not reveal the word, which we had to reveal. However, through these indemnity conditions that True Parents set, blessed families emerged and it is true that we have spread to the world! You must think about this. True Parents’ advent! It should have begun by the nation welcoming it. It should have begun with people cheering, Joy! True Parents have come! Hallelujah! But how did it begin? Do you think you fulfilled your responsibilities as people who knew Heavenly Parent’s, True Parents’, and humankind’s wish on the path True Father trod? When he came, you did not attend him in glory and when he went, you could not do so either. Through me, the only daughter of God… Through me, you have the opportunity to accomplish the responsibilities you could not fulfill. That opportunity is now. As I ended the Osaka rally, I spoke about "Shin [Heavenly] Osaka". Shin Osaka! A Japan that attends God! Then, what must Korea, which we call "God’s homeland," do? The beginning point is the divine spirit. The spirit, the truth, the word! The condition of all uniting with one heart moving toward one goal... If you are blessed families and true children, you must be filial to your parents. What is that filial piety? What is Heavenly Parent’s wish? You must lead the way in revealing everything and informing everyone by saying “This is how it is done." The time has come but we cannot go forward with the same customs as in the past, the same thinking as in the past. We must change. The family that Adam and Eve could not realize six thousand years ago! We must fulfill our responsibilities as blessed families who have emerged through the True Parents after six thousand years. We must unite centered on True Mother. We must go forward under a united system. Especially Korea, Japan and the United States, do you understand? You must become models.

Emcee:

Special Directive for the Mother Nation of Japan:

All members must pay the historical indemnity for past mistakes, by practicing true love, living for sake of others

By going beyond just the nation of Japan or Asia but living for sake of the world. The second and third generation as youth leaders must practice this, ready to go anywhere and live for the sake of the world...

By offering absolute jeong seung... Respected and beloved leaders, we cannot return to the past, but our True Parents have shown us that, if we follow the restoration of indemnity, we can atone for past mistakes, and all of Japan's past history will be restored. Particularly for the sake of our 2nd and 3rd generation, we need to atone for all mistakes; and so that we can establish the providential victory for Japan, which is One Family Under True Parents

Our respected Leaders of Cheon Il Guk,

Today, we have united whole-heartedly and are willing to risk our lives for the standard that Mother described. We must practice all of these Words, all the guidance and love True Mother has given us (Please give rousing applause for True Parents)

In the third week, it is the month of the family in Japan, also the 2nd and 4th week period when family is emphasized but during the festivals, they were also centered on the family... October 18 was the 55th Anniversary of the Japanese Movement and more than three years after that the rally... 2,000 youth and students... It was the 10th Anniversary of the Family Festival, the very successful Events. More than one hundred thousand five hundred...morning prayer sessions were held... 150th rally in Japan 11th in Osaka alone... First time for Mother to give this kind of rally but also the 11th rally... 150th rally in Japan 3,800 new members and 1,500 youth and students...

Through the Nagoya and Osaka

1. Infinite potential and hope centering on True Parents and even though we hosted the rally to be on a week day, more than 10,000 people came because we united with True Mother/True Parents; and, I believe that with absolute faith and unity with True Mother, we can bring about such miracles...

In this situation, it was three times harder to mobilize people but even then the people came in droves (It is exciting and wonderful hope that) We can pay off indemnity of the past and lay the groundwork to open the new era.

Countless members shed blood, sweat and tears; and now (in this time) True Mother (through often painful conditions of Her own) could come and open a new era of peace and pay off the bloody and painful past...

Before the rally we had a Chung Pyung Great Works Session and were able to expand the realm of victory of elder son and enter the parentship level... Japan has been going through the different levels of sovereignty, the adopted son to elder son and now is victorious in restoring the right of the elder son and in the right of parents. These events have been showing the values, strength and hope alive in the Unification Movement (for all to witness).

With the victory of the rallies in the United States at Yankee Stadium and Madison Square Garden...then there is foundation that, around the world, there can be victory.

All of the second and third generation pledged that they will take the lead and (it was seen) that they stayed (with great enthusiasm) from beginning to the very end of the rally.

One of the stadium attendants that I spoke to made a statement about what he witnessed, how the stadium was packed, filled to capacity even on a weekday and about the (powerful impact of the event):

I was profoundly surprised by this rally. Even on a weekday (all of this was mobilized) and so many came and so many young people.

I asked people around me 'Have you ever seen such an event with this stadium filled to the rafters to capacity?' and they said that there were not many events that really filled the stadium completely; and, by this they saw the power of the Unification Movement led by The True Father and True Mother; and, when they saw the passionate youth they could not help but bow in respect to the Blessed Families and their youth...generations... They saw how three generations had come together and worked together. The Family Federation Movement is truly beautiful; and, (they felt that) it is possible to establish peace through the family... and, as True Mother said, just as it took a long time for Christianity to be recognized, and it took so long for the only begotten Son and daughter to come... and when I saw the entertainment I was moved to tears and I look forward to receiving the good guidance in the future from (True Parents and the Family Federation Movement)...

We have been receiving tremendous Love and guidance of True Mother; and, (we want to make sure to continue in the way that) this is not just an event for the sake of an event but the starting point for the great growth and culmination... The driving force was True Mother and it (shows us again many times) that True Mother can give infinite, eternal hope to the Blessed Families, forgiving all the mistakes of the nation and opening a path to greater hope... There is now the restored right of the elder son; and, we can now move forward to restore the right of parents... She (True Mother) really gave the Blessed families and youth of generations new (and deep) hope and determination, (a strong) sense of mission and responsibility and desire for living for the sake of others on the world level... It is because of True Mother, It is True Mother. Isn't that so.

Through the victory of 20/20 we are marching forward. True Mother is leading us and, if we unite absolutely with True Mother, we will absolutely be victorious... Let us all rise and give a thunderous applause to our victorious True Mother and again Thank you very much... We shall march forward, run forward for Victory 20/20... Let us practice it every single day to realize the victory

Reung Young Chun and all leaders of Osaka…

Victory toast... Vice President of Family Federation... Our beloved only-begotten True Mother... She crossed four occasions, crossed Pacific three times and has been working day and night, so hard to make the great light into great darkness, great words of hope and guiding us tremendously... After the victories for the Unification of Korea and Osaka and Nagoya... During the Thanksgiving Day, many returned to their home to have family time for this tradition and to offer thanks and if we can uphold the true essence of this tradition... When I shout 'Victory for 20/20' you shout, ' Sungni, Sungni, Sungni '

Thank you very much

(40 minutes for luncheon)

Did you enjoy your delicious dinner... Let us give a big round of applause to True Mother for providing us this wonderful dinner...

What is the meaning of Thanksgiving?... We need to reach the high ground... Mother has been giving us so much and guiding us.

There have been one hundred and sixteen tribal messiah victors and we had more than 40 nations who launched IEPP... about 45 nations and 13 more soon...

True Mother hosted the world summit and we thought this was the end with the world summit but we will have more regional world summits and the Presidents have sent letters of gratitude... and many heads of states are coming paid for by the Senegal fund and now True Mother has asked us really to become the able UN...

We had the global rally with 400 religious leaders and in every region there were major religious leaders, many with congregations with more than half a million people and many with a pure heart embracing Mother's directive and we launched International Association of Peace and Development... Mother's Words were moving and there were many sincere testimonies...

Testimony ACLC Bishop Salange Louis who brought 12 religious leaders with her... After Father's Ascension we all prayed for True Mother and we had an explosion of grace in Madison Square Garden and Mother filled the hearts with love and historic teaching about Jesus and the Mother of Jesus and Joseph. Only True Mother can reveal these things; and, Your Love and sacrifices are bringing about the Heaven Kingdom, and we love and believe in You.

Mark Abernathy... Co-Chair of ACLC... In order to complete my tribal messiah mission, I have blessed more than 430 couples in my church and I remember the International Religious Conferences and now I believe in them... I know that through True Parents. Jesus has been completely freed.

I really proclaim that True Mother is the only-begotten Daughter and this is the Will of God. (Karen Holy) (She had a Blessing in the office of the Mayor of Dallas...) We received the Blessing and I have been lit with a fire for the sake of True Parents and True Mother, You have been victorious The Kingdom (and Queendom) of God is being realized; and, we cannot just believe only in Jesus. We know this clearly... True Mother, You really made our dream as Christians become a reality.. Many people opposed us in the beginning but Bishop Stallings and... encouraged us and we felt the Holy Spirit. We want to thank you profoundly...

From Africa, religious leaders, some with a congregation of more than 5,000. One said, 'Outside we hear some negative things, but I have witnessed the truth with my own eyes and True Mother, You are greater than any other saint... You are the True Mother. If I can meet You for a few seconds in my life, this will be the best. That I could attend this conference has been a great blessing, and I will tell of You.

I will launch ACLC in my country. You brought all the religious leaders together and You gave them the direction... (This is a Bishop of Kenya) I will follow You

Julius Malloit, big religious leader in South Africa... This is what South Africa has been waiting for so long... In particular I will teach and practice True Mother's teachings in our churches. I have more than 100 churches that I lead. I will educate pastors in my church.

A bishop... Today, I want to tell You True Mother, "We are going to Bless more people and we will proclaim that You are the only-begotten Mother."

So, amazing things are happening.. We brought 400 religious leaders... On Saturday, it was a Day of Sabbath and they could not even go on the elevator, but they said after being educated by True Parents... that they needed to attend and they will now put their energies together and promote True Parents.

One Swedish, said he would bless more than 2,000 people in his temple... One in Asia, but all of them wrote the only-begotten Daughter, the True Mother of humanity... If we look at it with our own eyes, it is just history but with the eyes of True Parents it is miraculous.

IAPP and IEPP... These two are working together to bring the springtime of the providence. Let us give big applause to True Mother

Testimony: Objective report by the media and also the reporters have testimonies..

Director of the Public Relations Office. Let us welcome him

Good Evening, I would like to give report about the recent media report.

Mother mentioned that the media needs to know about True Parents, and the only-begotten Daughter... I brought about 80 people to Japan to a workshop... Segei Times reporters and pastors gathers and we had 12 rallies and the reporters would always attend and had great interest... about 50 of them attended and reported... MBN NBC ST wrote glowing reports... Chugan weekly, monthly and daily newspapers wrote beautifully about Mother's leadership and words. Every time there is a report we have the two major news stations and they always put 5-10 photos and so many different media gave reports and we had more than 30 different newspapers report from the different regions of Korea and they did not just report, but received the Divine Principle education and are embodying the values of the True Parents...

One reporter was really moved by the hyo jeong (of the youth...) and by the leadership and charisma of our True Mother...

Before, I saw there was so many negative reports in the countryside, but I could see that they are not true and this is the opportunity for me to understand the reality. I believe we can go beyond religion and expand the great values around the world.

Even though Mother (True Mother/True Parents) is opposed, She is working for the sake of the nation and world and to solve many problems True Parents have so much vision and insight into economy, government, culture and sports... I will support Them wholeheartedly...

I heard it was a sect that does not believe in God, but, I see it has tremendous power and I hope it can grow even much more.. I attended without any thought, but I'm so grateful and will do my best to advertise around the world and if possible will cover the entire group...

When asked, 'What moved you most?' In the past I had no friends but the fact that Mother could say that is because She loves Japan and Korea...

One said 'There is a big problem' ' His wife goes to a Christian Church and because she said why do you go to a sect? I said, "I want to see what is going on (for myself)"... Now, I think that it is my wife going to a sect instead of me! '

In Incheon... Dr Hak Ja Han Moon proclaimed that the only-begotten Son and only-begotten Daughter have come. Can we have a special interview with the only-begotten Son and Daughter?

Many are agreeing with True Mother's leadership... I hope True Mother can be healthy... (I said 'Yes' (She will be healthy and young enough) How old is She? (True Mother)... I said the next 30 years will be no problem.

Director Ahn:

This is the time to hear mother's words / mother wants to speak to us at this moment

Let us welcome Mother (Applause and cheers)

(Mother is directed to a seat at the foot of the stage... and Mother says,

Hak Ja Han:

Why don't you give me a stage. I can speak while seated? (Applause)

(At the podium)

I need a stage so I can drink some water and lean a bit...

Everyone please be seated...

Today, in America, it is Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving began through the Puritan fathers and after harvesting 1 year's harvest, from all the crops they would cook a turkey and offer gratitude to Heaven. The family would gather and prepare for the next year. It was a day of gratitude, sharing and hope for the upcoming year. This is how Thanksgiving began.

These days it is very, I don't know if maybe it has fallen to be an irregular family gathering, but what is clear is that we must realize the dream of Heavenly Parents, the wish of humanity and work to realize this dream before True Parents. Before Heaven we must become filial sons and daughters, patriot saints and sages; however, when we see the history of restoration, it was too painful, salvation was too painful... Unless indemnity was paid, no progress could be made. That history has continued for 6,000 long Bilical years and Heaven endured all of these thousands of years waiting day after day.

Throughout this time, the wish of Heavenly Parent was and has always been to embrace all of humanity as beloved children and to all humanity Heaven sent The Precious and Blessed True Parents so that the opportunity to return to God could be realized. However, human beings failed to embrace that first opportunity; and, without any compass to guide them, humanity has remained in ignorance and darkness. What is the wish of all these vagabonds? It is... What is it? The wish of fallen humanity is to meet The True Owner; but humanity has not known where to go. Nothing has been clear.

Heaven has granted and also enabled the development of civilizations and religions and at the beginning all the religions said 'Let us lead virtuous, righteous lives and make efforts to grow closer to Heaven,' but they did not know the final destination. They did not have the answer, and it is still not very clear, but at least Christianity has defined (that they need to be) a relationship of God and humanity, as relationship of Father and child. But this is not the entire truth. Why should such a relationship be established? It is because the essence of such a parental relationship could not be explained. (They did not know) These days, I have titled my speeches 'The providential truth' and have share many things with you.

For 50 years, the Unification Church has developed, and God has toiled in order to restore fallen human beings. God laid the foundation so that his beloved children could meet the only-begotten Son and the only-begotten Daughter. God has to restore and find his children...

God toiled for 4,000 years to raise the people of Israel as the chosen people and the only-begotten son, Jesus Christ, was finally sent on this earth. However, the responsibility that he had to accomplish could not be fulfilled. Before he fulfilled his mission he was crucified and you can imagine the indemnity that the leaders, the central figures of that time had to pay. I am sure you are aware of the history of the indemnity.

The sin of killing ones parents, not just (on the level of) one family or one nation, but (killing the Parents Who are) The True Parents of all humanity. The cost of having killed the only-begotten son...

Even to this day, Christianity believes they are saved by virtue of the blood of the cross and believes in Mary as the holy mother. This is a zig zag philosophy that is not related to the truth. The environmental fairness or comprehensiveness of all of this theory is really just human thought. That is the history of the religion of Christianity;; and, Christians today believe that, since Jesus prophesied that he would come again, they are waiting (for Jesus to come down again from Heaven and claim them). However, Jesus said he would host The Holy Wedding of the Lamb. Can this be held if he comes on the clouds? Can it be held (like that)?

Until now, the Unification Movement, The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, could not lay a foundation. That is why it has been speechless and just waiting. There was so many words and truths it should have revealed but could not do so. However, on the virtue of the Blessing and the indemnity conditions laid by True Parents, Blessed Families have emerged throughout the world, thanks to True Parents.

However all of you gathered here, you must reflect on this point: The birth of True Parents should have taken place at the national level. True Parents should have been born and welcomed by the entire nation, saying "True Parents are born! Let us rejoice! Let us sing hallelujah!" This is how it should have been; however, how did True Parents Birth begin? The eldest 36, 72, 124, 777 couples should all repent that they failed in their responsibility, the wish of Heavenly Parent and True Parents. Before the wish of Heaven and humanity and on the path that Father was to take, can you say that you fulfilled your responsibility?

Even when True Parents came, They could not be welcomed in glory and Father went to the spirit world. He could not be sent in glory... All of you! It is through Me the only-begotten Daughter, it is through Me that your failure to fulfill could be forgiven and now you have been given the opportunity to attone From 36 couples, every one of you must fulfill your mission as tribal messiah. If you do, the national level will be realized...

In Bible, it speaks of the evening and the morning, the first day. The new dawn has come that Korea can welcome. All of you need to consider yourself as leaders in charge and leaders of providential organizations in Korea, can you awaken from your slumber? That is why I, after completing the Osaka Rally, I proclaimed the Heavenly Osaka. It should become the city that attends God. Japan should become the nation that attends God. If that is the case, what about Korea. It is called 'the Homeland of The Providence.' What should Korea do?

Rev. Eu and all of you leaders of Korea, from today it is no longer the Korean Headquarters. Korean Headquarters is now a church. It will become the Heavenly Family Federation Headquarters; and the Headquarters will be in Chung Pyung and the Cheong Pa Dong Family Federation Church will be the current Headquarters Building.

All across the nation, all the Family Federation Churches must engage in Blessing activities day and night! Give new life... to this nation... All that received the Blessing, share it with tribes and families. Give new life! Your responsibility is to bless and save people. Every week you must bring 100 couples into each church. That is how we can awaken this nation and its people.

Until now I have paid (the indemnity) for Heavenly Parent and True Parents and Heaven has forgiven and Blessed you. (Now is the time to renew your devotion/determination for your own indemnity conditions so that now miraculous things can open up to happen by your determination). Do you understand? That is why in particular the second generation in Korea, every year, twice a year, every year twice a year, all of you and especially leaders and pastors should attend Chung Pyung and offer conditions and really cleanse yourselves... Do you understand?

In the beginning was the word.... It is the starting point needed with profound life of prayer and to pray for True Parents. Offer a lot of conditions, but not to offer devotion just as an individual. What is more important is for everyone to come together and make a condition for one particular purpose. Do you know one senior member said that every day for 27 years he went to the holy ground to pray every morning. I look at this kind of devotion conditions for why Japan is prospering: it is because of so much devotion. However, when I look at Korea, Korea is too barren. Please light up your spirit...

Therefore, we need the chairman of the committee (he stands up) to have the third and forth floor of that building become... Let us have a meeting (in that area) and make the Heaven Family Federation there... that building will be the field. You should be the man pastor. The doors need to never close because of the influx of people that never stops coming there to be Blessed. We need to show entire world not just the word but the practice of how to realize the victory of 2020. Show the people how this is done. Do you understand?

You must be... If you really are my true children, You must become filial sons and daughters of True Parents. What is filial piety? What is the wish of True Parents? I have taught you everything and shown you the way to be successful. Do you understand? Do you understand? This is my request This is my... The time has come. We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past. We must change. Do you understand? The goal of the Unification Movement is to be a Family Federation. You must Bless everyone and restore everyone to become the children of God.

Even in the video, the member of parliament sent family to Heaven...Adam and Eve could not; and, for the first time The True Parents, the True Family has come. We must fulfill our responsibility. Do you understand? I no long want to repeat myself...You were Blessed first... Are you going to fall behind African religious leaders?... I told you be bold and brave...

What is the main failing of Christianity? They did not know the only-begotten Daughter was meant to come.. and Even Islamic leaders say we want to attend You as our True Mother. The True Mother should be attended. They want to write on the Koran that the True Mother should be attended. Do you understand? Should I trust you once again? When shall I come to Fam Fed Kwon Ki Province. If I visit these provinces, what will happen?... Do you like it? For me to go to those provinces, you need to gather 10,000 people from one province, just like Japan. Japan did it. Why can Korea not do it? To do so there is not enough time... I give you 40 days and during this 40 days, you must offer jeong seong and turn around the church in Korea, centering on the True Mother. Unite as one, one organization as part of the unity of Korea, Japan and America. These countries must unite and become the example. This is my request (directly to you) to you (at such a time as this)

(Mother concludes Speech)

Emcee:

We need to reach the high ground and bless the Korean Peninsula as the Heavenly Korea.

Korean Headquarters (needs to stay) a roundtable with press and introduce True Parents. The weekly Chusan reported, the daily newspapers reported and we were really surprised how much coverage there was and how beautifully they covered the rally... (shows the photos and editorial coverage) This has not come out yet but is already available online re the Sun Hak World Cup Stadium Rally...

I was profoundly surprised by this rally. It was a weekday and so many came. and so many young people came. I asked people around me 'Have you ever seen such an event filled to the rafters to capacity and they said 'No, not many events filled the stadium completely; and, they saw the power of the Unification Movement, led by True Father and Mother. When the media person saw the passionate youth, they could not help but bow in respect to the Blessed Families and their generations... They saw where three generations came together and worked together and witnessed that the Family Federation Movement is truly beautiful and it is possible to establish more peace through the family... However, just as it took a long time for Christianity to be recognized, it took a time for the only-begotten Son and Daughter to come and then be recognized now. The people around me said, 'When I saw the entertainment, I was moved to tears and I look forward to personally receiving the education and good guidance directly from the Family Federation and True Parents in the future... '

We have received so much Love and Guidance from True Mother/True Parents; and, we need to have an event not just to have an event but for the starting point for the great growth and culmination... The driving force was True Mother and we see again many times that True Mother can give infinite, eternal hope to the Blessed Families, forgiving all the mistakes of the nation and opening a path to greater hope... There is now the restored right of elder son; and, we can now move forward to restore the right of parents... She (True Mother gave new hope and determination, deep sense of mission and responsibility and for living for the sake of others on the world level... It is from True Mother. Isn't that so?

Through the victory of 20/20 we are marching forward. True Mother is leading us and if we unite with True Mother, we will absolutely be victorious... Let us all rise and give a thunderous applause to our victorious True Mother... and again... Thank you very much... We shall march forward, run forward for Victory 20/20... Let us (maximize) practice every single day to realize the victory

(Mother asks Wonju san for the microphone, and says:)

Hak Ja Han:

All of you, the pure water team from Nagoya. You did extremely well. That is why I want to give you a special present to all of you... When you come to the complex all of you can buy up to $100 worth of items.

True Parents’ Message at the Hyo Jeong Family Festival in Osaka

Osaka Kadoma Sports Centre, Osaka, Japan
November 21, 2017

Respected Leaders of Various Fields, Ambassadors for Peace, Members of the Family Federation, and Blessed Families of Osaka! Today, we have assembled here to become the key players of this new age. This will be our first step in carrying out the responsibility of making a heavenly Japan and a heavenly Osaka that attends Heavenly Parent. When we look around the world today, we do not have hope for the future. Depending on the area, the religions Heaven let thrive began by explaining the good beginning, but they did not know where the final destination was or how to bear fruit. That is why I would like to explain about God our Creator and the original center of the universe. God created all things in heaven and on earth and then created the man and woman who would become the first ancestors of humankind. They should have grown in the direction God desired with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience to God, have receive God’s Blessing and become the True Parents of humankind. However, Adam and Eve began to focus on themselves and came to have greed. They felt they could become like God. Greed [to become like God] before the proper time brought about today’s fallen humanity. However, the start and the finish of the omniscient and omnipotent God must be the same. He cannot change the principles he put in place at the time of the Creation. Therefore, Heaven had no choice but to initiate the providence of restoration through indemnity and salvation to restore fallen humankind. This was a sorrowful and painful course. God chose Israel as the chosen people and raised it from the individual level to the national level through the providence of restoration through indemnity. Yet, how difficult must it have been that it took four thousand years? After four thousand years, God sent Jesus Christ, God’s only son, whom he could call "My son." How can one believe that the crucifixion of the only son of God, whom God sent after the long period of four thousand years and which took place soon after Jesus’ coming, is the salvation of humanity? Jesus lost the environment in which he could fulfill his responsibility and died on the cross. He said he would return to hold the marriage banquet of the Lamb. The marriage banquet of the Lamb! Christianity began through the Apostles, who had been spiritually resurrected through the Holy Spirit. However, in the beginning, Christianity received much persecution. After 313 ad, Rome recognized Christianity, and on this foundation, Christianity set off from Italy, spread through Europe to England and blossomed through the Atlantic Civilization Realm. However, they did not know Jesus’ essence. Even though the Atlantic Civilization Realm spread to the world, it ended up being a failed civilization. It could no longer spread as nations and empires sought benefits for themselves. However, since Jesus promised he would return, through Heaven’s providence a people emerged that could create an environment for the returning Lord. That nation was the United States. Heaven does not work through a people that failed to fulfill its responsibilities. This is because that people has indemnity remaining, which must be paid. Jesus promised to return and conduct the marriage banquet of the Lamb, so God had to find a new people through whom he could send his only daughter. That was the Han people! After waiting for two thousand years, the person who absolutely must and needed to appear before the only son of God, who had said he would return, was the only daughter of God! The only daughter of God, whom God could call "My daughter," had to be born with no relation to Satan and centered on the Christian foundation. With liberation, Korea divided north and south. It divided along the lines of democratic thought and communist thought. These people had fought together for Korea’s independence. Yet how could different thought systems divide them?

God’s only daughter needed a growth period. In the beginning, God created a man and a woman and gave them a growth period. God’s only daughter, who had been found again, also had to go through a growth period, a period to grow. I was born in the North. If I had stayed there, I may not have had the opportunity to grow or fulfill my responsibilities, so Heaven had me go south. Then in 1950, the Korean War broke out. South Korea was unprotected, but as if it were a miracle, Heaven mobilized the UN forces and protected the South. Heaven protected Korea because the True Parents, who can realize God’s dream and the wish of humanity in regards to Heaven’s providence, had to emerge. The Holy Wedding was in 1960. Christians should have cooperated; as it says in Genesis, “There was evening and there was morning, one day,” and they were unable to prepare for that first day. That is why it took True Parents more than fifty years to climb up from the lowest level. Why do we need the True Parents? Fallen humankind cannot go directly into God’s presence. This is because they have accumulated remaining sin that must be indemnified. We cannot enter into God’s direct presence unless we are born through the True Parents. That is what the Family Federation calls the "Marriage Blessing.” How long humankind has waited for this truth! It took six thousand years. The parents whom we have long waited! The nation from which True Parents emerged, the other nations of the world—the world’s 7.4 billion people—still do not know this. Then those who have received the Blessing first have the responsibility to share and inform others about this. That is the responsibility, which as tribal messiahs all Blessed Families must fulfill. That is why I hope you will become the proud "Shin Osaka.” This "shin" does not mean “new.” It means an “Osaka that attends God.” Are you ready to fulfill your responsibilities? True Parents selected Japan, the Eve nation, to be at the center of the providence. Korea, from which True Parents emerged, is the father nation; Japan is the mother nation. The essence of a mother is that she will do anything for her children. If her children can be happy, if they can succeed, she will unconditionally cooperate. All humankind wants peace. Yet, looking at the reality today, that dream seems far away. However, we have the key. Through True Parents, through those in our second and third generations who stand at the center of the providence, centered on Korea, Japan and the United States, the Pacific Rim Civilization Ere is beginning. Through the Hyo Jeong revolution of the culture of heart, those in our second and third generations who can become the lamp to the world, the light, are going out to the world. Only through this movement, on this path, can God’s wish, the wish of humankind, the wish of one human family under Heavenly Parent, be realized! That reality is not far away. If you fulfill your responsibilities as tribal messiahs in front of the brothers and sisters around you—your tribe, your people, and the world—the path to that day will be wide open. This is especially so for Osaka, which I heard was the place through which this nation opened its doors to the world. As global citizens of Shin Osaka, I sincerely ask you to show the world by holding high True Parents’ love under the banner of the Hyo Jeong Revolution of the Culture of Heart and proudly spread our movement, in which we are working with True Parents and Heavenly Parent. I pray you will advance toward the day Heaven worked so hard for and patiently waited for—the day humanity wished for—that day of great joy and delight when we can establish the kingdom of heaven on earth during the lifetime of God’s only daughter, the True Parents, in attendance to our Heavenly Parent. I ask that you become global citizens of Osaka who lead the way in this. https://vimeo.com/245494607

Now True Parents of humankind, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon

Hak Ja Han:

Thank you very much.

Osaka, such a proud place, many people from all walks, Ambassadors for Peace, Family Federation members, Blessed Family members, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today we are receiving a new (heavenly) era of providence when we are able to become the masters of the providence. That responsibility is for this country to attend God, the new Japan, new Osaka This must be the first step to realize that kind of Osaka and Japan. Is that so?

As we look around the world, there is no hope for the future. Depending on regions, according to their religions, they explained goodness; but, they did not realize the destination of where and how the fruits have to be grown and completed. That is why I am here to explain about God, the center, the ultimate core of the whole existence. God the Creator is the Creator of the whole universe and of the man and woman as the ancestors of humankind and gave the responsibility to them.

What is that responsibility? They were supposed to be united in absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, growing towards God's ideal hope so that they will assume the position as True Parents. That is their destination; but, on their way they considered their own desire and position. They wished to become like God; however, when they were not at the appropriate time, they had a desire. That was a trick and cause of the Fall.

However, God is the same in the beginning and the end. The Alpha and Omega must be the same. God cannot change His principle of creation. Therefore, God had to find out the fallen people from this world and make them restored back to the original position. What a sorrowful path it was. The Heavenly Father chose Israelites as the chosen people for putting an individual, a family, a nation in a state for Heaven. What a dreadfully difficult course it was.

As long as 4,000 years had to be required to bring aobut one particular person that God could declare is 'My Son.' However, people who were supposed to create the environment, like Mary, Zachariah and the Israelite people, were unable to fulfill their responsibility. Throughout the 4,000 years of restoration course, God had to find the very Son of God but eventually God had to put him on the cross. Do you believe this was the intended destiny for Jesus? He could not have the environment for his mission at that time and Jesus had to say that he will come again and conduct the Matrimony of the Lamb.

The Christianity was created thanks to the emergence of the Holy Ghost. In the beginning (of their course), however, there were so many (extreme) persecutions. It was only in 313 AD that Christianity became recognized by the Roman Empire. It then spread throughout Europe, Great Britain, and the United States.

So, the occidental was based on Christianity; but, they could not realize the real meaning, the purpose (of Jesus' coming and mission). They embarked upon the global providence, but they were focusing on their individual interests and unable to expand their sphere wider than that.. However, the providence of God already declared that he has to come again. Therefore, God had to create an environment where the Christ will come again. That is why a new (heavenly) nation and people had to be prepared (strong like the Roman Empire but with religious freedom to protect that Second Coming). That was the United States of America.

Heavenly Father cannot use a nation or a family who failed once because they would have the indemnity courses to be fulfilled. Therefore, God declared the re-emergence of the Son.. So (also), He had to create and find out a new nation where the only-begotten Daughter can be born. That is none other than Korea, from among the Korean people. Until 400 years before Christ, the special nation was prepared. Again, Heavenly Parent would find out a people that were very good at astrology and developing agriculture, a people that loved agricultural work and loved peace. The Korean people loved peace and therefore, they were chased out until they settled in the Korean peninsula.

Heaven's providence has to be continued. For the last 2,000 years humanity has waited and waited; so, the only-begotten Son has to meet the only-begotten Daughter, none other than that only-begotten Daughter. None other than that. The begotten Daughter, based on the Christian foundation was born completely separated from Satan. She has to be born as being able to be declared by God as 'My own Daughter.' In 1943, She was born! (Applause)

In 1945, the liberation happened and immediately after that, Korea was divided into two, the democratic realm and the communist realm. Both were established by the independent heroes in the past. Why was Korea divided? Why were there two Koreas? Heavenly Father had to wait for the growth period of the begotten Daughter, just as He had to wait for the begotten Son to grow and complete His mission. The begotten Daughter also is required to fulfill Her own responsibility. So around Chosun, among the faithful groups, She was put in with those groups; but because of the division between the South and North and the North becoming communist (and very dangerous), She could not stay there. If I were put there, Heaven was concerned that (I would be in danger) I would not be able to fulfill my responsibility; so, Heaven let Me go to the South.

In 1950 War broke out and the South was defenseless, but miraculously Heaven mobilized the UN forces with the US army sent to South Korea. Why were they sent, for whom? Heaven could not be without the providence of God; and, the True Parents are the Ones to fulfill the dream of God. The True Parents had to be established. That is why God had to mobilize the UN armies.

In 1960 we were married in holy matrimony. It was supposed to be with cooperation of the Christian realm; but, as it is written in Genesis, (first) the (evening) and night comes and then morning comes, the first day. Christianity (did not understand that they were in the evening and needed to wake up to attend the morning) was unprepared to receive the First Day, so the True Parents had to tread (many extreme difficulties) on the path from the very beginning the last 60 years, (every step of difficulty) from the first step.

Why do we need the True Parents. As the fallen people, we cannot stand before Heaven. The fallen people had to pay indemnities for the ancestors who also fell; and, unless they were born again, they cannot stand in front of God. (How are they completely born again as necessary?) That is the Blessing Ceremony which the Family Federation for World Peace has been teaching and practicing throughout the world.

How much the humanity has been waiting for this moment of grace... Six thousand years have passed according to the Bible; but actually, it must be longer than that (since the beginning)... Only then, the True Parents would re-emerge... The nations, the world of 7.4 billion people are still unaware of this very fact of the True Parents.. What shall we do for them? Those who recognize this fact, those who have received the Blessing, they must fulfill their responsibility, that is the responsibility of yours as the heavenly tribal messiahs.

Therefore, today I am wishing you to become the new (heavenly) Osaka, the (truly) proud Osaka... not new, it means heavenly Osaka. For that purpose, are you ready to fulfill all your responsibilities? Today, through many great performances our 2nd and 3rd generation children showed wonderful, proud performances... (Didn't they do very well? They did very well.) Then, as the center of the providence, True Parents have selected Japan as the mother nation, South Korea gave birth to the True Parents as the father nation, Japan as mother nation. What is the essence of mother? for the sake of children... indiscriminately mother helps children for their success, fulfillment and happiness by all means.

All mankind wishes for peace but in reality we cannot see a peaceful world. It becomes more distant. But the key is in our possession. We have the key, because through the True Parents we can produce the 2nd and 3rd generation of Blessed couples. and they could stand in the center. Korea, Japan and the United States, these three nations should stand in the center establishing the Pan Pacific Realm... the Pacific Rim Region... becoming the light of the people. These children are spreading around the world. This path, this movement is what God really wishes, what humanity really hopes to realize as one family under God.

This hope will be realized not in the far distant future, my brothers and sisters, my families, tribes, it is when we achieve the tribal messiahship. Then in that day, the day of hope will come in front of us. Especially, this Osaka region, as I understand was the gate to the world. Therefore, as the new heavenly Osaka region of God, the Hyo Jeong culture, the revolution of heart together with God, Heavenly Father, you should convey the truth that we are really with the true God and True Parents. Introduce this fact to the world! (applause)

After so many sufferings of Heaven, through so much endurance and patience of humanity waiting, now we are attending The True God and True Parents. The begotten Daughter is alive. While She is alive, we can realize the Kingdom of Heaven on earth Isn't this exciting? Why don't we go ahead with that ideal and expand it to the world. I really wish that will happen.

The Osaka God people, will you come and stand in the front line?

True Mother at Osaka Hyojeong Family Festival at Osaka Kadoma Sports Center

Julian Gray
November 21, 2017

Ten thousand people gathered at the Kadoma Sports Center in Osaka on Tuesday November 21 for the Osaka Hyojeong Family Festival, a sister ceremony to that held in Nagoya five days ago.

In welcoming everyone, FFWPU president Rev. Eiji Tokuno expressed his appreciation for all who had come. He alluded to problems facing both the world and Japan as a nation.

As you know the problems of family breakdown are increasingly serious in Japan. In addition to the problems humanity faces as a whole, such as threats of war, terrorism, refugee issues, and destruction of the natural environment, we have the concern that those from our young generation in Japan are tending to avoid marriage.

In light of this Rev. Tokuno, explained, the Japanese government is adopting policies to support family life in Japan. He gave the example that November 19, two days ago, had been Family Day, and explained that awards would be presented to some exemplary families at the conclusion of the program.

Rev. Tokuno went on to say that True Mother had spoken at a rally in Seoul on November 11 for the peaceful reunification of Korea and was bringing heavenly grace to Japan from the success of that event. He introduced volumes of True Mother's speeches, drawn from hundreds of speaking engagements around the world over the years, and published in Japanese in time for this speaking tour in Japan. He mentioned that Mother had spoken in such places as the Great Hall of the People in China, and the Kremlin in Russia, and that she had met and spoken with many heads of state during her the years of her speaking tours.

Rev. Tokuno concluded by encouraging everyone to work to create the true family movement help save the world.

Following the introduction of guests, the Head of the House of Councilors Constitutional Research Forum in the Japanese Diet offered congratulatory remarks:

Today we are receiving Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon at this Hyojeong Family Festival, with people filling this sports center. I am so impressed…. When I was at Waseda University, CARP was involved with many social efforts for the family. Some of you who were there at that time; you are not just my classmates, you are my brothers and sisters…. To change the Constitution is a serious matter for the sake of the future: what is important is to build families based on love – this is the most important point for any society. And this is the subject your movement, led by Hak Ja Han Moon, is fully engaged with.

A representative congratulatory message from a Japanese Diet member was read out, and then the audience was treated to some beautiful entertainment that included dance and choral music.

Two second generation members then came out one by one and testified to their experience as second generation of our movement, and the course their parents had walked. The young man who spoke second mentioned that his parents had undergone many painful experiences of not being understood by society. He continued:

I understand it was because they had found God's dream. As their second generation son, I am standing on their foundation. We will testify to True Parents throughout the world and realize God and True Parents' dream.

A large group of children of various ages then came onstage and in unison gave the following words of appreciation and resolve:

Thank you so much! We were born from parents that showed us the heart of hyojeong. We will inherit that heart. We are in a difficult era but don't worry – embracing the heart of hyojeong, we will become the light of the world. We will, without fail, build an era of hope. When True Parents call us, we will go anywhere in the world with an unconditional heart.

The Korean song "Unconditional" (Moo-Jo-Geon) sung live with a huge number of energetic young dancers was followed by a video – Hyojeong to Heaven, Light on the World – introducing True Parents to the audience.

International President Sun Jin Moon then spoke to introduce True Mother. After greeting everyone in Japanese she began her speech by alluding to the suffering of people around the world, then pointed the way to our movement's inevitable future of service to humanity:

"We are all aware that we live at a very troubling time in history. Tensions are on the rise in many parts of the world, and nowhere more intensely than Northeast Asia. At the same time, our environment, our precious planet earth, is being threatened. Moreover, while some live in excessive comfort and enjoy privileges, many, many other suffer from poverty, oppression and lack of opportunity.

We are gathered here today to renew our commitment to peace. That is, we are committing ourselves to building a world in which all people, and generations to come, will live in mutual respect, harmony, cooperation and mutual prosperity. As my parents have said, we are here to build "one family under God" where people of all cultures, nationalities, ethnicities, religions and races live together, trust one another and love one another.

My parents dedicated their lives to this goal, with absolute commitment and determination. They worked ceaselessly to lead a great awakening and raise up a worldwide peace movement centered on God.

They have a particular love and respect for the people of Japan and recognize that Japan and the Japanese people have an historical, providential role to play at this time in history. My parents have always seen Japan as a mother nation to the world, a parent that lives for the sake of all of God's children."

In welcoming True Mother to the stage, Sun Jin Nim introduced her as an unwavering champion of peace who not only stood with True Father for more than five decades but still works globally in a multi-faceted movement for the sake of peace. Sun Jin Nim spoke on the edge of tears when she mentioned how Father and Mother are still working side by side even now, and how proud Father is of True Mother.

As elegant white curtains drew back, Mother came onto the stage, and everybody rose respectfully from their seats.

Mother's speech included the following (in outline):

Today we are entering a new era of the providence, the responsibility to attend God – for a new Japan and a new Osaka….

I am here to explain about God, the center and core of all existence. God the creator created the whole universe, and created a man and a woman as the ancestors of humankind. God gave them responsibility – they were to be united in absolute faith, love and obedience, growing toward God's ideal of hope, with the destination of becoming True Parents. Yet on the way they thought about their own position and desire. This led to the Fall. But God is the same at the beginning and at the end, the Alpha and Omega. He cannot change His Principle. So God had to restore the fallen people of this world back to the original ideal state, and a sorrowful path was required for this to take place.

Mother explained about this path of history that included the 4,000 years required to bring the son to earth whom God could declare, Jesus Christ; but that Jesus had had to go the cross due to those in key supporting positions being unable to accomplish their roles. Mother explained that if central figures or nations Heaven has chosen cannot fulfill their responsibilities, Heaven will not be able to use them again. God selected a new nation, and that new nation is what is today Korea, on the Korean Peninsula.

Mother went on to explain the need for the only begotten son and daughter to meet. Because the True Parents must be established, when Korea, by then divided, descended into civil war, God mobilized the United Nations forces for their protection.

Mother then explained that the True Parents came to give the Blessing; fallen people must indemnify their sin, so unless they are born again they cannot stand in front of God; and that the Blessing Ceremony is the ceremony that permits this process.

Mother continued:

How long humanity has waited for this moment of grace! We say 6,000 years, but it is longer in reality. Those who have received the Blessing must fulfill their responsibility -- that is, your responsibility as heavenly tribal messiahs. Therefore, today I wish you to become heavenly Osaka, proud Osaka! For that purpose, are you ready to fulfill all your responsibilities?

Today through many wonderful performances our second generation showed great ability. True Parents selected Japan as the Mother nation. A mother lives for the sake of her children, she helps her children achieve success and happiness by all means. All humankind longs for peace but in reality we cannot see a peaceful world. Even so, we have the key because blessed families can produce a second and third generation…. The children are to be the light of the world. Such a movement is desired by God and all people for the realization of one family under God.

When we achieve tribal messiahship, the day of hope will appear in front of us. Therefore, as heavenly Osaka, with the revolution of the hyojeong culture of heart, and together with God the Heavenly Father, you should convey the truth that we are with God and True Parents, and introduce this truth to the world.

After God and humankind's long-suffering course, we are now in the time of attending God and True Parents. While I am still here on earth, we can realize the heavenly kingdom on earth. Let's move forward to that ideal and expand it throughout the world. People of Osaka, will you stand on the front line?

After Mother concluded her speech, everyone stood and offered four enthusiastic cheers of Eok-Mansei, following which Mother departed the stage accompanied by Sun Jin Nim and In Sup Nim.

Model family awards were then announced and presented. Representatives of these families present in the auditorium came onto the stage and received the awards to loud applause. A commemorative photograph was then taken all together, after which the young persons' choir sang a beautiful song to bring the event to its conclusion.

Religions exist but they are unable to give us a conclusion about the next life

Beloved Global Citizens of Nagoya, I love you!...

Today we have gathered here to become the key players of this new age. When we look around the world today, we do not have hope for the future. Many religions exist but they were unable to give us a conclusion about the next life. Christianity alone said that the relationship between God, our Creator, and human beings was a parent– child relationship, but they did not comprehend the true meaning of this. The original owner of the universe, God, created all things in the heavens and on earth and created the man and woman who would become humankind's first ancestors. Through the growth period, they should have developed absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience to God. God would have then said "Now you are all grown. I will bless you!"

That was the moment God longed for, when he would have become humankind's parent. Unfortunately, however, before the proper time [Adam and Eve] began to focus on themselves greedily. This was how we came to have a fallen world, through which humankind could not stand in God's presence. God is omniscient and omnipotent. He is the same in the beginning and the end. He cannot change the principles he put in place at the time of the Creation. Therefore, Heaven had no choice but to go through the painful and sorrowful providence of restoration through indemnity. God chose a nation from among fallen humankind and through the providence of restoration through indemnity restored from an individual all the way to the national level. God wished for the time when a man and woman who could become humankind's victorious parents would appear.

When I hear "Nagoya" I feel happy.

Many of the early Family Federation leaders came from here. I pray that you members of Nagoya can bear the beautiful fruit of the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. Through True Parents, a new providence is progressing. Korea, True Parents' homeland, and Japan, which True Parents selected as the Eve nation, have united and crossed Asia to open the era of Pacific realm civilization. Heaven chose America as the eldest son nation, which represents the world. Therefore, from the of the Pacific realm civilization, the revolution of filial heart is spreading to the world, opening a new age….

Japan must fulfill its responsibility as the Eve nation, the mother nation. Through that, you can indemnify the wrongdoings of your ancestors. I want to make for you a Japan with no indemnity in the future, a nation that can boast of true peace. Only through this path, through these activities, can Japan have a future and furthermore can Asia and the world have a future. The dream is one human family under God! We can realize the peaceful kingdom of heaven on earth!
