There was something that the omniscient and omnipotent God had to achieve: True Parents

Upon returning to Korea from Switzerland

It's good to see you all after about twenty days. Did you miss me? Rev. [Kyung Seuk] Lu just said that "True Mother is becoming younger, but we are sorry that we remain so old." That is why I developed a new way to help you maintain your health. Later, you will see a video that will show you what I have been doing. You should all learn what I have been doing through the video presentation and through Rev. Yong Cheon Song's report.

Chambumo Gyeong is at the very center of what I was trying to resolve. How can I describe Chambumo Gyeong? I came to the conclusion that I had to completely renew and reinforce what I had laid out in my mind. If Adam and Eve had not fallen, the True Parents would have emerged at that time centered on God. There was something that the omniscient and omnipotent God had to achieve. Yet, this did not come to pass because of humankind's mistake. I am sure you all know of this historical course through the Bible and through the word.

True Parents are what Heaven and humankind have desired and hoped for to this day. Of course, that Pyeong Hwa Gyeong and Cheon Seong Gyeong were formed centered on the word is important. However, the source is True Parents. Heaven endeavored throughout the years to restore fallen humankind. God carried out the providence of restoration through indemnity using the Israelites for four thousand years and restored a lineage untainted by the Fall. The birth of Jesus Christ, God's only-begotten son, achieved that. Would Heaven have only created his only begotten son? God also created his only-begotten daughter.

With the birth of God's only-begotten son, providential history should have been fulfilled with God's only begotten daughter. However, this was not fulfilled. That is why, before his death, Jesus Christ promised to return. The foundation of God's only begotten son remained intact. In light of that, what was the point of Heaven's providential history, Christianity's two-thousand-year providential history? Christianity was the religion that restored the bride. You must understand this. Through Jesus Christ, two thousand years ago, Heaven's providence led to the emergence of the True Parents and the formation of a national foundation. Through Rome, God cleared the path for this national foundation to expand to the world.

This time, I had the chance to see many famous mountains along the Alpine Range. I learned that historical missionaries had ventured to neighboring nations through the Alps. Didn't True Father speak about how the five nations were connected centered on the Alps? I saw with my own eyes the historic facts and evidence of those who paved the mission path beyond these mountains. Think about this. It is summer now, but snow still covers the summit. I was told that the Catholic Church had designated pilgrimage courses that pilgrims would traverse. What True Father had said came to my mind as I walked through those mountains. Didn't he deliver a speech about the Mongolian birthmark? I saw what the Mongolians, with complete devotion, had erected in those mountains. What do you think they prayed to Heaven for?

Recently, the situation in Korea has been very chaotic because of the Saewol Ferry sinking and the political landscape being in disarray. That is why I quietly departed Korea. I had also just sent out the special emissaries. I wanted to give them a chance to do something. I did not want to complicate things, so I left quietly. It was something of a 007 operation among my attendants. The queen's special emissaries were loyal. You should applaud.

I discussed many things with True Father. I promised that when I returned to Korea I would commence the compilation of Chambumo Gyeong and conclude it. The emergence of True Parents is Heavenly Parent's hope and humankind's hope.

The True Parents did not pop up one day out of nowhere. You have to understand your history. You have to be aware of providential history, understand it theologically and be able to explain it. Chambumo Gyeong is a holy scripture that is perfect and faultless for humankind today. You cannot go to the spirit world without studying and reading Chambumo Gyeong. Among the three Holy Scriptures, Chambumo Gyeong is the most important. It is the source. I will take some time in contemplating how I will arrange, compile and put the finishing touches on this scripture. I will make it into a complete and perfect gem. Do you understand? I intend to make this scripture one that will transform those who encounter and read it, so that they revere Heaven, love True Parents and love humankind, and so that they receive strength to accelerate the manifestation of God's ideal for creation.

When you watched this video, didn't it mention that the ice on the Alps was formed millions of years ago? I entered and looked through underground ice caves that had formed in this way. In 2010, it was more than ten-stories thick, but due to the ignorance of human beings and the damage they had caused, and perhaps because I was fatigued, it seemed as if I had to walk down twenty flights of stairs then. I remember that it was up thicker in 2010. Yet, four years later, it had melted. We were witnessing with our eyes what the scientists had predicted.

The human population continues to increase, while the ocean surface continues to expand. If this happens, where can we live? It is a very serious issue. It pains my heart when I see these things.

If we had truly created that environment and foundation during True Father's lifetime, we wouldn't have to be worrying about these things. However, the earth is deteriorating each day and with the passing of each year. When you think about this and the future of the second and third generation of our beloved blessed families, what do you think we should do? The only way is to let people know about the True Parents. You have to make them realize that True Parents' wish is their wish and humanity's wish. That is the only way. Do you understand?

It is a serious matter. I called Sun Moon University professors and other people today. After this session, I will tell them more concretely about this issue and have them move in that direction. I was briefed every day about what you were doing. There are so many places and environments throughout the world that await our caress. When we think about this, you must realize that it is not just about you; rather, you must raise many children to be your successors and that can carry on, as you have, to the next generation. I ask that you make effort in obtaining the best results by drawing from your wisdom and all aspects of your careers.

In conclusion, as God's homeland, and as True Parents' land, which is humankind's origin, this nation must stand tall in the world. Doing well in politics will not achieve that. Becoming a rich nation where companies make a lot of money will not cause that to happen. This nation, the homeland, must become the root of peoples' heart and the root of their original minds. We must create a nation people want to visit. That is why I believe Korea should systematically develop a plan for tourism. It should not randomly promote tourism but develop tourism while looking decades ahead. We must do this. We should make Korea a place that the people of the world can come to, view its beauty, and meet and be educated by True Parents, who are the center of heart.

Isn't Switzerland the premier nation in the world when it comes to tourism today? The Swiss did their best, despite their poor surroundings, to become what it is today. It was through prophet-like people that Switzerland looked to the future and began to develop (for example) a train that went vertically up to the tip of a mountain, or installed a cable car. I saw the power and the fruit of the efforts of human beings that surpass our imagination. Compared to Switzerland, Korea does not have many tall mountains. Yet, Korea does have many mountains. The temperature is gradually rising due to global warming. Yet, how wonderful would it be if we could cultivate our surroundings, for example, the mountains visible around Cheon Jeong Gung! While gazing from Cheon Jeong Gung, True Father said, "Place a cable car on that mountain; make a coffee shop on that mountain." Looking to the future, True Father showed us the way for Korea to survive in the world. Do you understand?

That is why you should do your best in witnessing and harvest the people that are prepared by Heaven. I believe there are many talented people through whom we can pioneer the future and build a beautiful future homeland. That is why I sincerely ask you to become good guides that can cultivate Korea, God's homeland, into a beautiful and flawless nation.

I saw the relics of missionaries crossing the Alps

Note: The following information is the translation of the news posted on FFWPU Korea web site. They cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication of True Parent's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message. -- Rev. Katsumi Kambashi

In commemoration of the 50^th anniversary of our missionary activities in Europe this year, True Mother visited Europe for 17 days, including 12 famous mountains in Switzerland, which True Parents had blessed as the place to establish the 2nd Cheon Jeong Gung. It was her Jeong Seong period, when she had completed reading the Champumogyeong (참부모경), for the sake of preparing the True Father's Seonghwa (Aug. 12, 2014) and the victory of Vision 2020. The following are some of True Mother's words at Hoon Dok Hae and the celebration for her returning to Korea with victory.

"I had visited the famous mountains of the Alps in Europe. Five nations are connected centering on the Alps, where I could see the relics that show the efforts of pilgrims crossing over mountains for their missionary activities."

"True Father once held the Conference of the Mongolian Spotted People in Switzerland. During my pilgrimage in Europe at this time, there was a place where I could see the history of Jeong Seong offered by the Mongolians. What do you think they had asked for before Heaven?"

"While offering special Jeong Seong this time, I shared lots of conversation with True Father. What I promised Father was that I, who had initiated the project of making Champumogyeong (참부모경), would successfully conclude it when I come back to Korea. I made such a promise with Father."

"It is True Parents that Heavenly Parents and humankind hoped for. It was not that True Parents suddenly showed up in history. You should know the history behind them. You should know the providential history behind True Parents and also need to understand them theologically."

"Champumogyeong (참부모경) is absolute and perfect before humankind. You should study and understand it before you go to the spirit world. Among the three scriptures of Cheon Il Guk, Champumogyeong (참부모경) is the most important one. This is the origin. How can I conclude this scripture? By investing more time, I will make this a perfect jewel. Do you understand?"

"We need to have Korea stand high in the world as the fatherland of Heavenly Parents, the nation of True Parents who are the origin of all humankind. It cannot be accomplished by some political or economic powers. We need to make Korea the fatherland and the root of heart where people want to come to visit and live. That's why I am systematically planning to make a tourism project in Korea. Not by rule of thumb but by a longterm plan for the future, I will unfold the tourism project in Korea. We ourselves need to do this too so that people in the world come to beautiful Korea, attend True Parents who are the root of heart, and receive education."

Cheon Seong Gyeong (천성경/天聖經)

A selection of excerpts from True Father's speeches, meticulously compared to the original published sermons from which they are drawn, and organized thematically into thirteen topics (books) with the fourteenth a set of Father's prayers arranged according to the first thirteen book titles. A very welcome feature compared to the first edition is the inclusion of new materials from the years 2001-2012, right up to and including True Father's last words on earth.

Pyonghwa Gyeong (평화경/ 平和經)

A collection of about 180 complete speeches delivered in public settings throughout True Father's life. These include the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) World Peace tours of the last decade, and go all the way back to speeches to the Professors World Peace Academy, the International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences (ICUS) conferences of the 1970s and more speeches delivered in Korea in the 1960s.

The 20th anniversary of the dispatch of missionaries by WFWP-Japan

Hak Ja Han
June 6, 2014
Japanese WFWP Meeting, Cheon Jeong Gung

God created all things in heaven and on earth, and then created Adam and Eve. He had a big dream. Yet, did that dream come true? Because of Adam and Eve’s mistake, God’s providential history was actually a miserable course filled with indescribable hardships and suffering. Yet, because he could not leave fallen humanity as it was, God began creating the right environment to save humanity.

Heaven chose the people of Israel and for a long time, four thousand years, his only concern was how to bring his children, who had fallen into Satan’s realm, back into his embrace. He continuously established a central figure and continued the providence of restoration.

Abraham was the son of an idol maker. Abraham was a person Heaven could not choose; yet when Heaven chose him and called him to leave Ur of the Chaldees with absolute obedience and faith, he left his native city with an absolute and obedient heart. Abraham was then eligible to be in the position of an ancestor Heaven could establish. Through Isaac and down to Jacob, Heaven worked to find a family he could embrace in the fallen world and thereby establish a nation; this was Jacob’s course.

Thanks to the cooperation of Jacob’s mother, Jacob was able to obtain the first son’s right of inheritance. Then what happened? There was a period of indemnity, right? After twenty-one years, didn’t Jacob take his family and bring Esau to surrender? Thanks to that, the foundation upon which Israel could be a nation was established. This is an amazing revolution.

Through WFWP you were sent out and you have been active for twenty-one years. Should I praise you for your hard work, saying that the results of your work can accelerate the realization of Cheon Il Guk? Your effort, however, is still weak from Heaven’s perspective.

There are still seven billion people waiting for us. I cannot help embracing them because I am a True Parent. However, can True Parents do it alone? Blessed families that are following True Parents must take the lead. We must therefore be able to embrace all seven billion people and bring them into our Heavenly Parents’ bosom.

One big world… This should not remain imaginary. We are living in a time when we can truly work toward realizing it. We have True Parents with us. I just mentioned the story of Abraham. Abraham’s faith became the basis on which Heaven could send his only son through the nation of Israel. How great a blessing is this to fallen humanity! Yet, did the people in those days receive the son well? Heaven sent his only son to the people of Israel after a long wait and after raising them for four thousand years. Yet, the people of Israel and Judaism ended up sending God’s son to the cross.

Jesus, however, said that he would come again. The only-begotten son that God could love since the Fall appeared for the first time. What do you think our Heavenly Parents’ heart would have been like when he had to send his only son to Heaven?

Heaven asked us to educate ignorant human beings and embrace them; he asked us to do so through his son, through one in his lineage, through the Messiah. Imagine what God’s heart would have been like then. Yet, the providence had to continue.

God’s only begotten son cannot do it alone. God’s only daughter is needed. Do you know that the sixthousand- year providence was also about finding and raising God’s only daughter? God did this even during Jesus’ time. However, it did not bear fruit. History remembers God’s only son and not God’s only daughter.

Isn’t the providence of Christianity one that is in search of the bride? The providence was also about looking for God’s only daughter. You know about Father, but not about Mother.

Satan became the king of the fallen world. In order to restore fallen humanity, Heaven raised figures that overcome all conditions that gave rise to Satan’s accusations. Since Satan had become the king, Heaven had to find his only daughter through a good dynasty. Does that make sense?

When a central figure that Heaven chose and worked through failed to fulfill the given responsibility, Heaven did not work again through the same person. We know all this through the Divine Principle. Since the people of Israel failed, they could no longer wait for God’s only daughter.

If you study more in the future, you will come to understand the background through which Heaven chose Korea a long time ago as the nation where the Messiah would return. Before the Kojoseon era, the Han Dynasty existed; it was a good dynasty. Through the succession of this line, the providence was steadily connected. This is True Mother’s history.

My maternal grandmother was Won Mo Jo. Starting from my grandmother to Sun Ae Hong (Dae Mo Nim) and me, we are the only daughters in three generations. Father once said that for a woman to become the mother of the universe, she had to come from three-generations of in which she was the only daughter in the family. This shows us how Heaven prepared the environment for this one time. Think about it.

Heaven created all things before he created Adam and Eve. He first created an environment for them. This also applies to the providence. I am saying that Heaven’s work is amazing.

In other words, the mother of the universe did not suddenly appear after the returning Messiah came. This result comes from establishing indemnity conditions that freed her from Satan’s conditions in the long providential course.

That is why I was born; it was around the time of my birth that Christianity entered Korea. Before that, Korea was a Buddhist and Confucian nation. It hasn’t been long since Christianity entered Korea. Christianity first entered through northern Korea. A lot of spiritual phenomenon occurred centered on Pyeongyang then. When many Christians were waiting for the returning Messiah to come on the clouds, there were spiritual groups waiting for the Messiah to come in the flesh. Why? That was because they were aware of God’s providence. Only by coming in the flesh, can the Messiah become the True Parent. Only by doing so can the lineage of fallen humanity be changed. Blessed families cannot be formed if the Messiah does not become the True Parents. Soon after the liberation, an ideological confrontation, with communists, arose.

Human history often depicts groups collapsing by making many mistakes and then rising again and developing again. History has been this way. There had been no owner. Until the true owner comes, humanity had to go through repeated labor pains. Heaven continued to raise us to stand on the good side in this manner through the work of our original minds.

You have probably heard of this already through Father’s teachings: A spiritual group under Kim Songdo and Heo Ho-bin prepared to receive the Lord at his Second Coming. Dae Mo Nim and my grandmother Won Mo Jo were key people in the group. Members of the group genuinely believed that Pyongyang would become the palace of Eden. They did not care about the political situation of the country. They stayed there because they believed that Pyongyang would become the palace of Eden. That was around the time when Korea was about to be divided at the thirty-eighth parallel and many people were fleeing.

It was then that Father received a revelation from Heaven, instructing him to go to North Korea. I was six years old when he came to North Korea. While Father was ministering in North Korea, he was sent to prison by the communist government. That was when Ho Bin Heo was also in prison. Father, who came to know that Ho Bin Heo was in the same prison, asked her to deny everything and be released. You heard that the message was discovered in the process of being conveyed and that Father suffered as a result. Heo Ho-bin’s mother was leading the group then.

I was six years old at the time. She called me and gave me her blessings through a prayer.

What do you think she said in her blessing prayer?

When I was born, Satan tried to kill me, saying, “Because you were born, I will die and descend. Hence, I have to kill you.” Satan already knew who I was. Because he knew it would not be good for him that I live, he tried to kill me. Heaven showed that the time had come for me to be born seventy years ago. Then, why did I end up coming to South Korea?

My uncle, then, was studying pharmacology at Waseda University. However, after graduating, he entered the South Korea Army instead of coming to his hometown. So, my grandmother wanted to come to South Korea to see him. But because she could not come alone, she came down with her daughter and granddaughter.

Others in the group were all waiting in North Korea because they believed that North Korea would become the palace of Eden. Two years after we came to South Korea, the Korean War broke out. After the Korean War started, just before the Han River Bridge was cut off, we were able to cross over the Han River thanks to my uncle’s help. This was no human work. Heaven saved me because the True Parents had to appear. Heaven did such amazing work.

That is why when I met Father and the issue of marriage came up, I already understood the providence. No matter how difficult and hard, I will resolve everything within my generation. I am determined. In the end, if I fail to fulfill it, Father cannot complete it either.

A mother is essential for a child to be born. True Parents appeared on earth, but you should understand how difficult it was for them to come. All seven billion people are indebted to True Parents and our Heavenly Parent. The parental heart gives repeatedly, forgets about it and gives again. True Parents practiced this.

Unification Church members should know about True Mother. You could not have been born if it were not for True Mother. Hence, you should feel thankful that I am still physically living with you while you are working so hard.

I spoke about indemnity. Indemnity should all be brought to an end in your lifetimes. Only then can there be hope for our second generation’s future. Do not give up, saying that it is tough. That is why I will give you Happy Health machines, through which you can maintain good health. True Father left truly big gifts for humanity; one of them is Happy Health.

You should be able to boast about True Mother being alive wherever you go; Is it okay for children not to understand their parents’ language? Father repeatedly said this; I also said that I will not allow those that do not speak Korean to participate in meetings. It is not merely Korean. It is your mother tongue, the language of your parents’ nation. Do not think just because you have aged that you cannot do it; please put in the effort.

If you are in your sixties, I have already given you a blessing. I said that through your devotion and efforts, your life shall be extended by sixty years. Let us fulfill providential history. Think about living until a hundred and twenty. Do you like that or not? Let’s resolve everything within our lifetimes. That’s what I am saying.

We have to build the kingdom of God on earth. I have to build this. Our tribe, our nation. Not our nation. One nation, one world.

We have received so much love and so many blessings from our Heavenly Parent. We are greatly indebted to him. You might feel disappointed about being second in the world, but you are blessed people. You are happy people. You must not shirk your responsibilities.

This world came about because Adam and Eve shirked their responsibilities in the beginning.

They didn’t understand that they had responsibilities—the responsibility to absolutely obey.

He has shown us everything in this manner; what else is there to wish for?

Now you should fulfill your responsibilities as mature children.

True Mother Honors Couples for Forty Years of Ministry

Hak Ja Han
June 2014

As reported in the Korean headquarters' Cheon Il Guk weekly newsletter, "Vision 2020," True Mother gave special achievement awards to church elders to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of HSA-UWC. She presented four couples with awards for forty years' ministry as part of the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary. A congratulatory luncheon at the banquet hall in Cheon Jeong Gung followed.

During the anniversary celebration, True Mother reflected on the circumstances in 1954 when the church was founded and called all the leaders and other members of the Unification movement to reflect on their inadequacies in the past and repent for them. She added that this was a day to renew our determination to fulfill our responsibilities and missions. Following this, True Mother presented Special Achievement Awards to Rev. Yong Ha Kim and his wife Jeon Gin Cho; Rev. Pan Gu Kim and Sun Hwi Pak, Rev. Jae Cheol Ryu and Sun Shik Yu, and Rev. Yun Hyeong Lee and Pak Ok Hyeon for their forty-years of public service in Korea. During those four decades, they worked as pastoring couples and all have many spiritual children. As an incentive to the couples and to others that might emulate them, True Mother gave each couple $100,000 as an additional prize. True Mother also presented awards to church district headquarters that brought the best witnessing results in 2013. First prize went to Cheon Bok Gung, the national headquarters church. Second prize went to the Kwang-ju's district headquarters church (the Kwang-ju in Geonggi Province). Third prize went to the South Jella district headquarters church. Mother also awarded prizes to the twenty-two churches across Korea with the best performances last year. The Cheongshim Family Church represented this group in accepting the award.

Pastors whose congregations were most productive in 2013 pose with True Mother

Through a short video, "A Fresh Start and Our Determination for Victory on the Occasion of HSAUWC's Sixtieth Anniversary," participants were able review True Parents' work over the past sixty years since the founding of HSA-UWC in 1954, including how they led Heaven's providence, raised the church into one overflowing with love through the Holy Spirit and the truth and were able establish the foundation for the restoration of the world. Watching True Parents' work as shown through the video engendered a sense of gratitude in members of the audience, some of whom expressed glory to Heaven and praised God.

The anniversary celebration was followed by a congratulatory luncheon in the Cheon Jeong Gung banquet hall. During the luncheon, Ho Yeol Ahn, director general of the Tongil Foundation's International Cooperation Department, spoke about his recent visit to South America. This was undertaken, Mr. Ahn said, "Based on True Mother's indicating that we should prepare the second anniversary of True Father's ascension to highlight True Parents' accomplishments in North America and South America. With that intention, the FFWPU History Compilation Committee's president, Seog Byung Kim, and I led a group to South America that included reporters from Shindonga magazine, the Monthly Joong Ang, Weekly Chosun and Weekly Newsmagazine as well as an MBCNET film director." Mr. Ahn went on to say, "After True Father's ascension, the media has been taking note of True Parents' achievements and watching to see how FFWPU might grow and develop under True Mother's leadership. The reporters that accompanied us to South America this time saw the foundation that the church has in South America and were strongly convinced of True Parents' achievements worldwide and of the bright future of the Unification movement." In this way, Mr. Ahn shared the successful results of his visit to South America this time.

The luncheon concluded with three cheers of Eog Mansei led by Ryu Kyeong Seuk, president of FFWPU Korea. Leaders and regular members were able to all offer joy, glory, gratitude and praise our Heavenly Parent and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind through the commemorative ceremony and the congratulatory luncheon on the sixtieth anniversary of HSA-UWC's founding. They all made the resolve to attend True Parents and become forerunners that will continuously advance until the victory through Vision 2020.

I Have High Expectations for You

This is what True Mother said to the first and second groups of students to enter Universal Peace Academy, fifty three students in all, on 4.26 on the heavenly calendar (May 24) in Cheongpyeong at Azalea Park, near the Cheongshim Graduate School.

Note: This has been translate and edited by TP magazine team, and published in July 2014 issue of True Peace magazine.

Do you know the name of this flower? Peony. This is the first time I’ve actually smelled the scent; it emits a fragrance. This flower originates in China but I heard it also grows in Korea and Siberia. This is indeed a strong flower. Yet, this flower symbolizes shyness and femininity.

This flower is big and beautiful and it blooms in the spring. People consider the root of this flower great medicine. There are better flowers for women depending on the color, but generally, it is a good flower for all people. That is why True Father loved this flower. Tree peonies are the big flowers that bloom before peonies. Once the tree peonies wither, the peonies then bloom. They are both from the same flower family.

Peony root is expensive medicine. However, I do not dig out the roots every year; I leave them for the future. I wanted to give the flowers a chance. I heard that it may start raining in the evening on the weekend and was sad that they may wither then; which is why I have set this time for you.

Is studying difficult? Saying so is not acceptable in your case. Look at how great an environment you are in. You have come from different countries; I am sure there are beautiful sights in each of your countries. This is a special place. Are you aware of that? That you can study here is truly a miracle and historic. You will be carrying out activities after graduating. Please, be proud of yourselves. You are children attending True Parents. You are different.

What did I say in the joint worship service last Sunday? Today, instead of hearing joyful news around us, we hear depressing news, about incidents that we wish did not happen around the world. Such incidents are happening in great numbers. There are also natural disasters happening in many places around the world, but we still see religious conflicts, ideological conflicts, territorial conflicts and other conflicts happening. Why do you think God is just calmly looking at the world?

Originally, our Heavenly Parent had hope when he created the world, right? He had a purpose. God was happy when he created the creation and Adam and Eve and saw that they were good.

However, in order to greatly bless humankind, he gave them responsibilities. Did they fulfill those responsibilities, or not? Because they failed to fulfill them, humans ended up becoming beings with no relationship to God. This is the state of today’s humanity.

The different countries in the world each has its own laws. If you do not keep the laws of your country, you end up in prison, right? Humanity today is living within a prison of satanic laws. Hence, for the terms, “True Parents,” “the blessing” and “blessed families,” to emerge after six thousand years is most revolutionary. Do you understand that? There are still many people out there in the world that do not know True Parents.

People still don’t know how precious True Parents are and that they must meet them and attend them at all cost. We are the only ones that understand this. We have the most precious thing with us. However, is it okay for us alone to be happy? We should share it. We should let people know of it. This is the mission you will have in the future. Are you confident that you can do it? [Yes]

This also can be seen in Christian history. How many teachings did Jesus leave? Not many. Even though the Christian area of distribution has not included the whole world throughout the two thousand years of its history, the nations that are leading the world today grew within the Christian cultural sphere.

Their hope was to welcome the returning Lord. They believed that once they met the Lord in his second advent, coming down on the clouds, everything would immediately change. However, they were not aware that indemnity existed in human history, which had gone wrong from the start. The laws of the satanic realm blocked it. Yet, haven’t the True Parents achieved the realm of liberation and complete freedom? This is indeed a miracle. Our Heavenly Parent waited for True Parents for six thousand years.

Even though they were unaware of it, all human beings have also been waiting for them. The four major religions today are an expression of this hope in general terms. These religions taught how to live in the process, but they did not reveal the fundamental truth, which is why we have a great truth—not only to become True Parents’ children, but to realize the nation and world that our Heavenly Parent and humanity have hoped for. Are you aware of how great a blessing, hope and miracle this is? Therefore, can you stand still?

For this reason, what did I ask blessed families around the world to do? I have told them to rise and let others know that True Parents have come. An ignorant person can neither develop nor reach perfection. They have to be taught. This responsibility falls on you. How great is this work? Are you proud of it? My hope in you is great. Please do not collapse because your immediate reality is difficult. Let’s say a thousand people, a nation, can be immediately restored through you; wouldn’t you be great champions, people that had succeeded and people that would be remembered by Heaven?

Do you know the name of this flower? Peony. This is the first time I’ve actually smelled the scent; it emits a fragrance. This flower originates in China but I heard it also grows in Korea and Siberia. This is indeed a strong flower. Yet, this flower symbolizes shyness and femininity.

This flower is big and beautiful and it blooms in the spring. People consider the root of this flower great medicine. There are better flowers for women depending on the color, but generally, it is a good flower for all people. That is why True Father loved this flower. Tree peonies are the big flowers that bloom before peonies. Once the tree peonies wither, the peonies then bloom. They are both from the same flower family.

Peony root is expensive medicine. However, I do not dig out the roots every year; I leave them for the future. I wanted to give the flowers a chance. I heard that it may start raining in the evening on the weekend and was sad that they may wither then; which is why I have set this time for you.

Is studying difficult? Saying so is not acceptable in your case. Look at how great an environment you are in. You have come from different countries; I am sure there are beautiful sights in each of your countries. This is a special place. Are you aware of that? That you can study here is truly a miracle and historic. You will be carrying out activities after graduating. Please, be proud of yourselves. You are children attending True Parents. You are different.

What did I say in the joint worship service last Sunday? Today, instead of hearing joyful news around us, we hear depressing news, about incidents that we wish did not happen around the world. Such incidents are happening in great numbers. There are also natural disasters happening in many places around the world, but we still see religious conflicts, ideological conflicts, territorial conflicts and other conflicts happening. Why do you think God is just calmly looking at the world?

Originally, our Heavenly Parent had hope when he created the world, right? He had a purpose. God was happy when he created the creation and Adam and Eve and saw that they were good.

However, in order to greatly bless humankind, he gave them responsibilities. Did they fulfill those responsibilities, or not? Because they failed to fulfill them, humans ended up becoming beings with no relationship to God. This is the state of today’s humanity.

The different countries in the world each has its own laws. If you do not keep the laws of your country, you end up in prison, right? Humanity today is living within a prison of satanic laws. Hence, for the terms, “True Parents,” “the blessing” and “blessed families,” to emerge after six thousand years is most revolutionary. Do you understand that? There are still many people out there in the world that do not know True Parents.

People still don’t know how precious True Parents are and that they must meet them and attend them at all cost. We are the only ones that understand this. We have the most precious thing with us. However, is it okay for us alone to be happy? We should share it. We should let people know of it. This is the mission you will have in the future. Are you confident that you can do it? [Yes]

This also can be seen in Christian history. How many teachings did Jesus leave? Not many. Even though the Christian area of distribution has not included the whole world throughout the two thousand years of its history, the nations that are leading the world today grew within the Christian cultural sphere.

Their hope was to welcome the returning Lord. They believed that once they met the Lord in his second advent, coming down on the clouds, everything would immediately change. However, they were not aware that indemnity existed in human history, which had gone wrong from the start. The laws of the satanic realm blocked it. Yet, haven’t the True Parents achieved the realm of liberation and complete freedom? This is indeed a miracle. Our Heavenly Parent waited for True Parents for six thousand years.

Even though they were unaware of it, all human beings have also been waiting for them. The four major religions today are an expression of this hope in general terms. These religions taught how to live in the process, but they did not reveal the fundamental truth, which is why we have a great truth -- not only to become True Parents’ children, but to realize the nation and world that our Heavenly Parent and humanity have hoped for. Are you aware of how great a blessing, hope and miracle this is? Therefore, can you stand still?

For this reason, what did I ask blessed families around the world to do? I have told them to rise and let others know that True Parents have come. An ignorant person can neither develop nor reach perfection. They have to be taught. This responsibility falls on you. How great is this work? Are you proud of it? My hope in you is great. Please do not collapse because your immediate reality is difficult. Let’s say a thousand people, a nation, can be immediately restored through you; wouldn’t you be great champions, people that had succeeded and people that would be remembered by Heaven? Do you understand?

Please study hard and offer conditions with the heart that you will help the seven billion people in the world become aware of this. Please think of it in this way.
