Prayer at the Cosmic Holy Blessing

Hak Ja Han
February 17, 2013

Most beloved Heavenly Parent: How could there not be praise and laudation on this glorified occasion! This is the first year in which the history of the providence of restoration through indemnity carried out by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind is brought to completion and a new era is ushered in. Beginning with the Holy Wedding of True Parents in 1960, Heaven has carried out the providence of salvation for humanity, which was born into the lineage of Satan due to the Fall and who have been moaning in anguish.

True Mother speaking to second-generation members that have adhered to the Cheon Il Guk matching standards (or have received permission to participate from True Parents) and desire to be matched directly by True Parents, as many of their parents were.

Through the Holy Wedding of True Parents, they were permitted the grace of being born into a new lineage, and You have lighted a beacon of hope for the fallen humanity through the great Blessing Ceremonies, which was first commenced with the blessing of 36 couples in 1960 and has now been held 53 times until today, January 8, 2013 [on the Heavenly Calendar]. However, we are lacking in so many ways and we have been unable to fulfill our missions and responsibilities given to us by Heaven as blessed couples. We truly have no excuses to offer.

Candidates face off at an early stage of the distillation to one man and one woman as a base for a godly family.

Our Heavenly Parent: You have nevertheless embraced us in Your bosom in this first year of Foundation Day. I hope and pray that all blessed families of the Unification Church across the world and the blessing ceremony participants gathered here today will fulfill their responsibilities and missions before our Heavenly Parent and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, return infinite glory to Heaven in the face of the great significance of Cheon Il Guk lead lives of practicing the true love of the Heavenly Parent in all corners of the world, and be reborn as proud blessed families who can open the gates to Cheon Il Guk in this new era of unceasing laudation and praise.

The blessed families present here today, and the newly Blessed 12,000 couples receiving the Blessing across the globe through the internet, all resolve anew before Heaven to dedicate their lives and give everything they have to become Your proud people who can return the blessings given to them from Heaven. Our Heavenly Parent, please accept this promise we make before You.

May laudation and praise last forevermore to the ends of the earth. Aju!

Heavenly Parent's Morning Day Speech

Hak Ja Han
February 10, 2013

May you receive many New Year blessings.' This is a year in which you should go beyond receiving blessings and work hard to share them with others.

I believe we have all been greatly moved by True Father's words, which we read in today's Hoon Dok Hae. When Father established God's Day, he had God's liberation and Foundation Day already in mind and he called God our Heavenly Parent. You heard that in Father's prayer just now. Didn't you? That's right. God's wish is to become the parent. To achieve this, we have followed a path for sixty years, the path of the providence of restoration through indemnity, under True Parents' guidance.

As you may have heard read in Father's speech moments ago, at the time that Father established Parents' Day, the world population was 3 billion. What is the number now? [It is 7 billion.] So the number has more than doubled. Now it is 7 billion. It may even be 7.5 billion.

The world population has grown rapidly in those forty- six years, but we should not merely feel glad about it. Our responsibility and mission has grown that much more important. Heaven and humanity have sought after a world of peace, a world without wars and hunger, a world of freedom, but history to this point has been unable to achieve this goal.

Father led the history of the providence of restoration through indemnity to victory. However, the truth is that behind it all was too much sorrow, grief and suffering to measure. That is how it is with indemnity. He recovered and established everything for us, but the fact of the matter is that we are not in a position where we can just receive it. If we fail to fulfill our responsibility, we too need to pay indemnity. Do we, or don't we? [We do.]

In forty-some years the world population of 3 billion has become 7 billion, and it is the wish of our Heavenly Parent and our wish, as well as a responsibility to be fulfilled in our lifetimes, to make sure that no one in the world, not even those living in the far corners of the world, remains ignorant of the Heavenly Parent, at this point in time when the era of Cheon Il Guk is only days away.

Titles like filial son or daughter and loyal patriot cannot be given when you are comfortable. Unless you have endured much suffering and difficulty and risked your lives for your parents, devoted all your energies for your country, unless you have such a heart and have translated it into action, you cannot receive such titles. Do you understand this?

This moment in time, never seen in history and never to be seen again, is truly the most blessed and happiest time in your life, but if you fail to fulfill your responsibility, it will become the most wretched moment. Why? Because the 7 billion people of the world to whom you have failed to witness will accuse you. Do you understand the term "accusation"? [Yes.] They will say, "Why did you receive the blessing and not tell us about it?" When those living in the farthest reaches of the world join our church, learn about the providence and come to know that the long awaited Lord at his Second Corning, the Messiah, the Savior, came to earth and lived in the same era that they did, breathing the same air, yet they did not have one chance to see him before he passed away, they will deplore this fact forever. Do you understand that? Moreover, you should know that the True Family and blessed families have an even greater responsibility and that they may have to pay much more indemnity for that.

As we usher in the new year today and celebrate God's Day, we should respect and uphold our Heavenly Parent. Also, we need to pass on the word to all peoples in all corners of the world. What does the Bible say about the word and the rod of iron? It says all nations will be ruled by them. What do you think this means? It means we need to witness to others. Do you understand? [Yes.]

This is why, starting with the senior couples, I am summoning to the homeland those who are working hard and achieving good results as national messiahs, one by one. Do you think I am doing the right thing?

We need a nation in which God, our Heavenly Parent, can dwell. We need citizens as well. What, then, do we need to do? What should be done? Let me see the people at the back. What needs to be done? [We need to witness.] Witness! We need to witness. We need to fulfill our mission as tribal messiahs. Can you do this? [Yes.]

You need to do this in the remaining years of your life. If you fail to do so, you will not be able to face True Father when you go to the spirit world. He will say to you, "I taught you to do that while I was on earth; moreover Mother also asked you earnestly to do it." You need to do this at all costs, not only for yourselves but also for the future generations of your descendants. Is this true or not? [It is true.]

I have sometimes said that we need to create a good environment. In a good environment, when you say one word those listening to you will understand ten words. In the beginning, when God created Adam and Eve, were they able to communicate with God or not? They were able to exchange questions and answers with Him. The same can be true for us. When the blessed families create such an environment for themselves, they will be able to witness to others with the littlest of effort. After Foundation Day, you may see such amazing miracles being wrought, depending on how much sincere effort you make. I guarantee this. [Aju! Applause!]

You may have very little time left on earth, by which I mean your time on earth in the flesh. I am not young myself, and I know that the thirty-six couples and seventy-two couples are very old now. However, I summoned these senior couples and said to them, "The term life-and-death resolution applies to you now."

They can't know if they will have ten or twenty more years on earth, but if they devote their whole lives to working for the providence, when they pass away they will automatically enter the kingdom of heaven and receive a title such as loyal patriot or filial son or daughter. Won't they? Isn't that true? [It is true.]

Don't men in particular care a lot about honor? When they are given a title, they never want to separate from it. Women, on the other hand, are a little different, I think. Because they have motherly love, I believe they are better at practicing the act of embracing, of giving and forgetting, than men. Is that true, or not, ladies? [It is true. Applause]

Even if I suffer some small loss, I give and forget and invest again, for everyone and for the future. Today is the forty-sixth anniversary. Isn't it? Will you resolve on this day to lead such a life, or not?

Life-and-death resolution! [Life-and-death resolution!] Devoting all our energies! [Devoting all our energies!] Let us set ourselves on fire with passion! [Let us set ourselves on fire with passion!] You need to put these words into action.

Hoping that you will all become proud Unification Church blessed families, I have told you earlier that I called the senior members of the seventy-two couples and asked them to shoulder the burden. By 2020, when we celebrate one hundred years since Father's birth, we need to establish this nation, not only in name but in reality, as God's homeland. Can this possibly be done? [Yes.] Is it possible? [Yes.] Let us make it happen. [Applause]

Therefore, though there are many providential nations, we will carry out great works centering on Korea, Japan and the United States. I believe the preparation for it is well underway in Korea. It will also be done in Japan. Japan! (Yes.] Will you do it? [Yes.] Will you be outdone? [No.]

However, I think there are some problems in United States. So, is Regional President Ki Hoon Kim here? [Yes, I am here.] Stand up. is Moon Shik Kim here? [Yes.] Moon Shik Kim was an itinerant worker, but should now go to Canada. [Yes, I will.] And Regional President Ki Hoon Kim will become the Chairman of the Unification Movement in the United States. Has Mr. Balcomb come? [Yes, I am here.] [Michael] Balcomb will be appointed president [national leader in the U.S.]. [Applause]

Centering on the international president, Hyung Jin, you three should become one in heart and in mind-set and devote yourselves completely for the restoration of North America. [Yes, we will.]

The fact is that the United States is a nation that Father spared no effort in for forty-some years. He established it as the eldest-son nation, but it has not fulfilled its responsibility. The eldest son needs to embrace his brothers, but it has been absorbed in saving itself and hasn't looked after its brothers. That is wrong. So I will reorganize everything and right all the wrongs. Is that clear? [Yes.]

Ki Hoon Kim! Yes.) Many foundations were prepared by Father, like those for Christianity and ambassadors for peace. Henceforth, the U.S. Unification Church needs to march for-ward with the Holy Spirit and the truth. (Yes, I understand.] What have I been saying? The lights in the churches should be on twenty-four hours a day, and they should overflow with the Holy Spirit and the truth. Did I say this or not? [Yes, you did.] I hope you will translate those words into action. [Yes, I will.] Please sit down.

Besides those three, there are many other important providential nations. I have summoned those who have been working as regional directors in the United States. Through them and others, we will focus on managing not only Korea, Japan and U.S., but also nations with potential and other important providential nations that cannot be put aside, so that by 2020 we will be in a position where we can save Heaven's honor and prestige. Witnessing activities! We will invest ourselves and do it at all cost! [We will! Applause]

Do we not have hope? [We do![ We do! [Applause] You should listen to the Cheon Il Guk national anthem every morning and evening as you go to and from work, savoring every word. When you practice the lyrics, you will become free. That is how the world of freedom, peace, unity and happiness can be built. That is why you are the problem. You are the problem! Do you understand? [Yes.] You are the problem! [We understand.] I am the problem! We need to establish traditions.

That is why I will work diligently, following you around to see how you work. In all likelihood you will receive many revelations through your dreams. I can actually feel it. Rather than borrowing help from the spirit world, however, 1 hope that you will each do your best as blessed family members to fulfill your responsibility. Do you understand? [Yes.] Then by watching you I will gain strength.

We are talking not only about Korea's restoration but of the world's restoration. Is it good if I pass away quickly, leaving the world's 7 billion people behind, or do you wish me to remain on earth for a long time? [Please stay a long time.] So, is National Messiah Jong Yeong Yu here? [Yes.] Is Jeong Ja Gang here? Both of you, please come to the front and sing the Tumen River song, and give us a short, five-minute, testimony of how you were mobilized and what you have achieved.

[After his wife sang, Rev. Jong Yeong Yu testified about returning to Korea and his experience in his hometown.]

I will add something here.

From this year, I will make it so that the celebrations of God's Day, True Parents' Day the Day of All Things, and Children's Day will take root in each of the nations. Why? Since all the church celebrations are held at one place, the leaders come, but the members do not understand the significance of those days. Do you understand what I mean? [Yes.]

Each and every national church, regardless of how many churches it has, should prepare for the celebrations of God's Day or Parents' Day or Day of All Things or Children's Day. While preparing, all the members should unite with the church president's leadership and offer many conditions to ready themselves for the celebrations. You cannot go to heaven if you live your lives halfheartedly. We have studied True Father's teachings, explaining how holy days, such as this God's Day, came to be established, and it is only too true that without shedding tears of blood in the background, we cannot pay indemnity to move forward. Because the world is wrong, because it is fallen, we need to rise above it, and to do so we need to pay indemnity. This, however, is very difficult to do.

We need to make Satan throw up his hands and admit defeat. Those days were established after winning victory after victory in each stage. Members need to comprehend this. From the leaders in the highest positions to the newest members, you all need to be aware that True Parents have passed through a course of blood and tears to establish those days for you. If you realized this, every time you celebrated one of those days you would become all the more determined in your heart to be loyal and devoted to Heaven. Wouldn't you? [We would.] A nation with such members will then grow and develop.

I want to spread this practice worldwide so that I can bring every one of you in front of Heaven. Do you understand? [Yes.] The next celebrations we will hold on a grand scale is Foundation Day. This Foundation Day will be our greatest event, because it is the day on which we begin anew under the Heavenly Parent. It is to be the grandest day.

On the day marking Father's ascension, not only members of the Unification Church but, when they learn about him, all the world's 7 billion people will wish to visit the place where he was laid to rest. Where is that? It is Bonhyangwon. [Yes.]

Pilgrimage. This pilgrimage will become another great event. I believe Father said at the time the church began, "People come to visit Korea in an endless line." What do you think that means? We need to establish that day in such a way [Yes; Aju!! 1 am right in thinking so. Aren't I? [Yes.] Don't you agree with me? [Yes; Applause]

Then, may there be endless glory in heaven and eternal thanksgiving, acclamation and praise on earth! [Aju! Applause]

Heavenly Parent's Day Midnight Prayer, Speech and Motto

Hak Ja Han
February 10, 2013

Prayer

Beloved Heavenly Parent, we have now ushered in the New Year, 2013. We are deeply grateful to you for allowing the heavenly world and the earthly world to unite as one in mind and heart and solemnly begin this first day of the year in which we will celebrate the Foundation Day of Cheon Il Guk, in the presence of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.

Our Heavenly Parent, what a history of sorrow and grief You have had to go through to establish Cheon Il Guk!

To complete the history of the providence of restoration through indemnity caused by the fall of the first human ancestors, You have had to lead the providence of salvation and have Your heart rent by each and every one of the sacrifices and mistakes made by the providential central figures whom You established. How many tears of blood You have wept in the background of such history!

In particular, ever since the Coronation Ceremony of the Kingship of God was performed and Cheon Il Guk declared in 2001 on the foundation of True Parents' victorious realm, during the last twelve years we have lived each day as if it were a thousand years and a thousand years as if it were a day, begrudging every moment that passed and exerting ourselves to the utmost.

The era after the coming of heaven was proclaimed, and Cheon Jeong Gung was built on earth and dedicated to You, thus establishing on the rock of ages the ground whereon the Heavenly Parent could come to settle on earth. And in the presence of all of heaven and earth, enthronement and coronation ceremonies were performed through which the Heavenly Parent was liberated and freed.

Most beloved Heavenly Parent, with Foundation Day only twelve days away, we should repent with all our heart for all the responsibilities we have failed to fulfill until now. The True Family and the blessed families should become one under the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and prepare a new environment in which we can give ourselves as living offerings for Cheon Il Guk in the realm of Shim Jung, which is characterized by one heart, one body, one mind-set and one harmony.

I declare that all members of the Unification Family across the world are resolving to become one with True Parents' will and to fulfill their mission as tribal messiahs at all costs, and to make a new beginning.

As we usher in the first year of Cheon Il Guk, in 2013, I hope and pray that the entire worldwide Unification Family, and all peoples, will open the gates to an amazing new era of peace and prosperity, in which the physical and spiritual worlds will overflow with heavenly blessings and the Heavenly Parent's great love.

All this we offer and request in the name of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. Aju! Aju! Aju!

Heavenly Parent's Day Midnight Speech

After True Mother prayed and a video was shown of True Father writing the motto, she gave the following brief greeting: The day long hoped for by the Heavenly Parent, the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and all humankind has dawned. This is a message of blessing from True Parents to all people of the world on this first day of the new year. May this year be one of hope begun in True Parents' great love.

Motto

Last year, 2012, True Parents gave the motto "Era of the Victory, Liberation and Completion of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind" and on Heavenly Parent's Day we learned that it will be the motto for this year as well.

True Mother's Life Story -- Part 2 -- The period just before True Parents' Holy Wedding

February 2013

True Mother (left) with her mother Soon Ae Hong and with her grandmother Won Mo Cho

After enduring a time of imprisonment, for attempting a "faith healing" of a young, mentally unstable man who later died, Soon Ae Hong moved from Chuncheon to live in Seoul. She continued to lead a life of prayer in a difficult living environment; she took up residence in the former headquarters church where she devoted herself. Entrusting her mother and her daughter to the care of her younger brother, she began her life of dedication to the providence and offered devotions.

True Father said, "Soon Ae Hong suffered much in the Unification Church. In the beginning, she carried out the duties of a housemaid. She was even imprisoned. Yet she has never complained. Before she joined the church, she had been a member of the Holy Lord Church and a follower of Back Nam-joo of Cheolsan. Even though I knew of their recent history and that the Unification Church had inherited their tradition, which made her the most central of all central members, when she joined our church I made her start again from the beginning." Father also said that Soon Ae Hong's life of devotion was based on his wish for her to "show her loyalty from the lowest position."

However, during this time she contracted an illness. When she became ill, after eight months of leading a life of devotion, True Father told her to go somewhere quiet to recuperate. Accordingly, Soon Ae Hong moved to a house rented by Mrs. Yeong Choon Oh, across the street from her own home in Noryangjin. At the time, her daughter Hak Ja (True Mother) was living at her maternal uncle's home in Shindang-dong. On weekends, she would visit the Noryangjin house to spend time with her mother.

True Mother as a teenager

Mrs. Eui Hong Gang, who was sharing the house with Soon Ae Hong at the time, distinctly remembered what Hak Ja looked like in her school uniform. "Though she was only a young, sixteen-year-old girl, it was amazing to see how well she had grown up. She was as beautiful and fragrant as a flower, and intellectually, and in all other aspects, she seemed mature. I felt that she was neat and tidy -- although a little cool in her personality."

At that time, Hak Ja Han was attending the headquarters church as a member of the Seonghwa Students' Association and practicing a mature life of faith. Until the age of sixteen, she had seemed like a young student, but by the time she reached seventeen, she was becoming more and more mature.

In the eyes of the members of the time, True Mother had uncommonly beautiful features, and she had a noble air, almost as if she had never known hardships in her life. She always appeared smart and neat. Untainted by the secular world, she looked pure and innocent, and she practiced the virtues of obedience and submission to the providence. She was silent, chaste, and courteous, yet she had good judgment and wonderful powers of observation.

True Mother remembered those days as a time when she lived a life guided by Heaven under God's complete protection:

Until the 1960s, I lived an inconspicuous life, almost as if I was covered up in clothes. Heaven guided me to lead a life in which I could not make compromises with the world, so I lived in a simple environment. God protected me so completely that I hated even to inhale the air of the satanic world; in such an environment, I rid myself of all of my personal thoughts and lived following only Heaven's guidance.

I also kept a journal every day; interestingly, I wrote things in it without thinking, phrases such as "our cherished hopes are for unity." Afterward, when I heard True Father's teachings, I remembered those words and saw their significance.

... I always feel that Heaven had prepared everything based on my character and background. When Isaac climbed the mountain with Abraham to make the altar, he asked his father where the sacrificial offering was. Abraham answered that God would prepare one for them and refused to say more. Young Isaac, however, already knew what was actually happening right there and then. Similarly, I, too, could determine what was expected of me from a young age. Deep down, I realized that I had been prepared to become the wife of the returned Lord.

Chosen as True Mother

From three years prior to True Father's reaching the age of forty, a great number of members offered devotions in silence as they waited for the manifestation of the new bride of Heaven prepared by God, that is, the True Mother. Meanwhile, the spring wind of true love swept across the female members, and they competed invisibly against one another, each of them anticipating and aspiring to become the mother of the universe. As a result, tension and internal confusion built up with each passing day. Every one of them believed themselves to be the right woman to assume this position, and from women at or around the age of thirty, to grandmothers who could communicate with the spirit world, every one of them was convinced that she was to be the spouse of True Father.

The candidate for the position of True Mother, however, needs to inherit the realm of Shim Jung of women, passing through three generations from her grandmother, to her mother, to herself. In other words, if the grandmother met the Lord, she needed to pass down the position of serving the Lord to the mother, and the mother to her daughter. Based on this principle, after waiting for many years for the Second Coming of the Lord, Grandmother Won Mo Cho and Soon Ae Hong fully passed down, to True Mother, the position of serving True Father.

Moreover, the candidate for the True Mother needed to be younger than twenty. Since Eve had fallen at the age of sixteen, the candidate should not be more than three years older -- no more than nineteen. In addition, she would need to give birth to at least twelve children in the course of twenty years, so she needed to be young, healthy and physically strong.

In October 1959 preparations for True Father's engagement were begun centering on Mrs. Seung Do Ji. From early 1960, signs heralding the appearance of the bride of Heaven began to appear. As the announced date drew near, Mrs. Yeong Choon Oh, who had offered devotions for years to attend the bride of Heaven, received a revelation and recommended True Mother, even though she had not known about True Mother during the years of offering devotions.

Mrs. Oh said, "At the right moment I presented Father with the sap/astrological information about Mother and told him about her; two months later, Father finally decided. Thus, I succeeded in finding Mother after seven years of offering prayers. I came to know that Heaven gives to those who pray, and I attended Miss Hak Ja Han as the True Mother even though I had never thought of her before, even in my dreams."

Around that time, Mrs. Seung Do Ji also received a revelation in her dream, and she made her way to True Father in all haste and reported, "I saw innumerable cranes come flying down from the heavens, and even though I kept trying to chase them away with my hands, they came and covered True Father." Explaining about her revelatory dream, she expressed the opinion that Heaven wanted someone whose name included the character for hak (crane).

Soon Ae Hong also had a revelation through a dream. A phoenix flew down from the sky and another flew up from the ground to meet it. The phoenix from the sky had eyes that looked like True Father's. One day, after taking a cold shower in the early morning, she was reciting the Pledge, and she saw a vision. Then she heard the words, "The phoenix from Heaven symbolizes True Father, and the phoenix from the earth symbolizes True Mother." At the time, Soon Ae Hong had no inkling that her daughter would become the True Mother, and she danced with joy and said, "Heavenly Father, thank you. We are no longer orphans, for we will now become the children of True Parents. Isn't that so, Father?"

After that, Soon Ae Hong received revelations every day. She received the revelation that her daughter would be chosen as the True Mother. After this, she could no longer think of True Mother as her daughter.

In February 1960, True Mother dreamt that True Father came down from heaven and said to her, "The day is close, so prepare yourself." True Mother prayed with a heart of complete selflessness and resigned herself to the decision of the providence. She answered, "Until now, I have lived in accordance with God's providence. From now on, no matter what God wills, or the purpose of His Providence, I will follow all that I am commanded to do as Your humble servant."

Just as Isaac had obeyed Abraham in silence, True Mother had felt for a long time that she had a path she must follow, and her faith was such that she was determined to walk whatever path was laid before her.

On February 25, True Father mentioned Hak Ja Han for the first time, and he told Soon Ae Hong, "Bring your daughter here right away." On the next day, the 26th, True Mother met face to face with True Father, and her internal disposition and character were examined as the bride of Heaven. It was True Mother's second face-to-face meeting with True Father, the first meeting having been when she came before him at the age of thirteen. During this nine-hour meeting, True Father asked True Mother many questions, and True Mother answered them all honestly, boldly and clearly. She also drew a picture for him that day, and the way she shyly showed her drawing was more wonderful and charming than her drawing. Her mother later said that she had been much amazed on that day to see Mother so gentle in appearance but strong in spirit.

After the long interview, True Father said to her, "I will introduce you to an excellent teacher." He told her mother to leave and called in Mrs. Won Bok Choi. From then on, for a month until the engagement ceremony of March 27, True Mother was given bridal instruction under the guidance of Mrs. Won Bok Choi. However, True Mother was not officially introduced to the members. She was once asked to sing on the podium of the headquarters church, and the members were deeply impressed by the way she sang so naturally and boldly. In addition, when they saw True Mother eating the food prepared for the table of True Father together with Mrs. Won Bok Choi, they wondered, "Who is that young woman?" A few of the more thoughtful members assumed that there was a great purpose behind her being there.

Foundation for True Mother

For the holy wedding of True Mother, three great foundations had been prepared.

First, God prepared a foundation of devotion for the Lord at his Second Coming through devout Christian groups in Korea. In particular, centering on the history of Eve, He established women leaders to fulfill the mission of the bride to receive the Lord of the Second Corning. True Father said, "Kim Seong-do's legacy was inherited by Huh Ho-bin, and by her daughter, who was being prepared to receive the Lord. It is amazing to see that they also made other preparations such as twelve disciples." However, Huh Ho-bin, who had been thus prepared, failed to fulfill her mission to attend the True Father, and so she passed on the mission of the bride to True Mother with the benediction, "You were born with the destiny to become the bride of Heaven."

Second, the three generations of True Mother's maternal grandmother, Won Mo Cho, her mother Soon Ae Hong, and Mother herself united together in heart and the three eras of the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Completed Testament were connected. Thus True Mother's family prepared a family-level foundation to receive the returning Lord. Their family had practiced a life of faith to receive the Lord at his Second Coming, and inherited the foundation established by devout Christian groups from Kim Seong-do to Huh Ho- bin, and her daughter. After coming to the South, Soon Ae Hong continued to offer devotions and eat raw food in preparation to receive the returning Lord. Moreover, after she met True Father, she lived a life of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience and True Mother was able to stand on this foundation.

Third, True Mother inherited the foundation of devotions laid through the history of the preparation for the Second Coming that Korean Christian groups carried out. On the family-level foundation to receive the Lord at his Second Coming, she learned to practice absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience naturally, as part of her life. True Mother therefore lived a chaste life according to her faith -- similar to that of a Catholic nun -- growing up in an environment completely separated from the secular world in all its aspects.

Finding the Messiah's Bride

Yeong Choon Oh

One day, in October 1959, Mrs. Seung Do Ji summoned me, telling me to come the next day to the second floor of the Tonghwadang Pharmacy. Accordingly, I made my way there, where she told me that she had bought some cloth and I should help her with sewing. Surprised, I asked her what this was about. She said that Father's engagement ceremony would be held in a while and we should make his clothes. I had had experience making clothes for Father.

"Who will be his wife?" I asked. She said it was to be so- and-so. "Really? Does that mean Choi so-and-so was not chosen?" At my question, she answered, "She is not the right person because she is too old. Eve fell when she was sixteen, so Father's wife should be younger than twenty." In my heart, I wondered to myself how I had failed to realize this during the seven years I had been praying. I offered more prayer. "Father, is this true?"

While praying, I had a strong inspiration: "Isn't there a girl named Hak Ja, who is seventeen years old?" Before then, I had not thought about her, not even in my dreams.

I was busy working, but my heart was all aflutter with impatience. However, I continued to work patiently, promising myself that I would go to ask Mrs. Soon Ae Hong when I was done about her daughter's birthday and birth hour.

At ten o'clock at night, I stopped working and took the bus to Noryangjin. As I crossed the Han River, my heart still remained impatient, telling me repeatedly that Hak Ja was the one. At eleven o'clock, I stopped by Mrs. Soon Ae Hong's home, and without further ado, I asked, "How old is Hak Ja?" She asked me why I was asking such a question, out of the blue. Then she answered that her daughter was born on the same day as Father at between 3 and 5 AM.

I closed her door and came home, but I could not sleep at all. I had been friends with Soon Ae Hong for a long time.

My, maternal family had also believed in the New Lord [Seong Do Kim] of the Inside the Belly Church. Through that church, my mother and her mother had become friends. She was the same age as I. We became close. She joined our church in Chuncheon in 1956. Afterward, she came to the Seoul church. Some of the members had prayed for a student member, but the student had died by accident. So three of the members had been imprisoned for a year and a half in Chuncheon Prison. She had been one them, and I went to visit her in prison twenty times.

After that, Soon Ae Hong lived and worked in the church, but she had a weak constitution. So, I had rented a room for her, across the street from my own, and at the time she was living there and we were fast friends.

The next day, as soon as day broke, I headed for Tonghwadang Pharmacy. Though I had a lot of work to do, my mind was elsewhere. I wished for the day to pass so I could go and have the astrology of her year, month, day and hour of her birth examined. My sewing was done by evening, and without anyone knowing about it, I left right away. Fortunately, there was a workshop at the church and I had a good excuse to leave.

I went straight to a certain place, where a Mr. Myung Hak Lee examined the full astrology of the two, without knowing who they were, and told me, "Though they have a big age difference, they are a match made in heaven. They are perfect for each other, so you should make it happen." Holding the piece of paper with this information tightly in my hand, I ran all the way to Cheongpa-dong. Father was in the master bedroom. "Could I see you for a minute?"

"What is this, all of a sudden?"

"The astrological information for Mrs. Soon Ae Hong's daughter is very good."

"So what if it is good? Was that what you wanted to tell me?"

With those words, he left the room.

I was attending the workshop, but my heart was beating wildly. I did not know what to do. When the workshop ended, I met Elder Song and told him the story and gave the astrological reading to him. At the time, Elder Song had been attending Father wherever he went, be it hunting or anything else. When we had the time I presented Father with the astrological information of Mother and told him about her, and two months later Father finally consented. Thus, I succeeded in finding Mother after seven years of offering prayers. I came to know that Heaven gives to those who pray, and I served Miss Hak Ja Han as the True Mother, even though I had never thought of her before, even in a dream. 

It is the time after the Settlement of Heaven

Joint Sunday Worship Service in Korea

Brothers and Sisters, blessed families all over the world

Members, Peace ambassadors, everyone, on this day, I hope that Heaven's blessing and grace may fill you all who are present here today. How are your preparations getting along as we walk towards foundation day?

In one word, it is the time after the settlement of heaven, however, all of you here, how are all getting ready for that Foundation Day, how are all of you preparing? Are your minds and bodies united? And within the environment that you live in, your families, societies, have you been able to become one with your environment, your families and societies, where you are living in right now? Those who have been able to bring about unity, please raise your hands.

And now we have only 33 days until Foundation Day.

Today, Dr. Yang has indeed given us a very nice sermon. All of you here would have probably thought a lot about it.

In other words, we are actually sinners in front of heaven. Compared with the grace we have received from heaven, we haven't been able to return back that grace to heaven, we haven't been able to fulfill our responsibilities, nobody! Can anybody stand up here and be proud of saying that I have fulfilled all my responsibilities? Is there anybody who can proudly say that?

Now this is indeed the first Foundation Day that will be celebrated in the history, so indeed it is a blessed day. This is for certain. However, this time again, what is your attitude, what are your reactions, what are your preparations? Are you just planning on just receiving this grace and love, or are you going to receive it as qualified sons and daughters of heaven? Please speak loudly. Can anybody say something about this? Can you make a pledge of your conscience? Is there anybody who can really listen to their conscience or to their original minds?

Again, one more time, thinking of True Father who had gone before us as people who wear sackcloth, we need to repent! We need to repent and without the heart of forgiveness with each other, we can't do it. We need to forgive each other, repent, but how, how (True Mother is sobbing), how are we going to do it?

The heavenly parents, when we look at the indemnity providence, even though it was difficult, continuously give things to us without conditions and is hoping that we all become Cheon Il Guk people but the problem is we are not qualified in front of heaven, we are not prepared at all. How are we going to do it? What are we supposed to do now? Please, everyone here should go to the lowliest place and with the heart of repentance receive the Foundation Day in such a position and only through that I can say that domestically and abroad all unnecessary actions should be repented.

Everything should be put down and then through Foundation Day make a fresh start again. And as we prepare to welcome the Foundation Day, all blessed families around the world should be able to become blessed families who can stand proud in front of heaven.

Now I have opened all the doors as we approach the Foundation Day so that anyone centered on True Parents through absolute faith, love and obedience, till the moment we finish our lives without changing, be able to fulfill the path of filial piety and with such determinations and actions and for all of you here today, I have opened all the doors wide open

So if you all can make this determination then our future will have no indemnity. Do you understand? Let's make the CIG era without indemnity. Let's prepare for such era and to do so, responsibilities follow this. Nobody is actually paying or doing our responsibilities I have to do it, you have to do, it we have to do it.

Just as I have said before, we need to make a life-death resolve and completely invest ourselves so these are the words we need actually right now, we don't need an ideal word right? Will you do that? If you promise to do that then please clap your hands so that you can shake the heavens and earth. Clap your hands as strong as possible. Thank you.

Your dedications and conditions will become source of joys to heaven and earth and I hope you can all become CIG people who can receive love. Thank you.

Let us all do our best to connect the 7 billion people of the world to the Heavenly Parents and to be able to shorten the time and make such determination. And only through this you can be free and will receive no judgment in the spiritual world. If you don't fulfill your responsibility here on earth and go to the spiritual world the judgment will follow you all the way up there. Therefore it is very important that with the heart of love, just as we breathe through love, it will be difficult for you to breathe when you go to the spirit world.

So you must remember this and therefore all of you here even though you are old age as long as you are still on earth it is important that you fulfill all your responsibilities on earth and be able to become people who can be free out there in the spirit world and who can stand freely and proudly in front of the heavenly parents.

I hope you can become proud children in front of our heavenly parents in the spirit world so I conclude this joint Sunday Service here. Thank you.

Who is True Mother?

Hak Ja Han
January 20, 2013
Excerpted from the joint Sunday Worship Service in Korea

Dr. Chang Shik Yang begins to speak about True Mother:

Who is True Mother? True Mother said that Father's thoughts became Her own thoughts. Mother had said this before after the 40 years course; and, on the 40th day after Father's Seunghwa, Mother reconfirmed it again....

As you know, True Mother was especially prepared by Heaven. True Mother had to pass through three generations to come on earth. All of history before that was the search for restored Eve. True Father found Himself saying three times to Heaven 'Thank you for sending Han Hak Ja'

At age of 17 True Mother was given the huge mission so difficult and then the Holy Wedding was carried out. She had to go through untold things walking the path of a Cosmic Daughter, Wife, Mother and Queen.

The 1960 Blessing of True Father to True Mother in Holy Marriage was the starting point. They could restore The Four-Position Foundation and The Five Major Holy Days.

In 1992 True Father appointed True Mother as The Second Head; and, 1994 True Father Said, "If I go to the spirit world, True Mother is the Successor after Me"

Starting 2009 Father started the Las Vegas Providence; and, there were many internal ceremonies. The highlight was May 15/ June 25 with few members present was the perfection, completion and accomplishment of The Old, New and Completed Testament. True Father and Mother reached complete unity and finished the Las Vegas Providence.

Afterward, on July 8, at the Cheon Jeong Gung, Father gave direction to proclaim the Settlement of True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humanity. True Father and Mother Themselves are more important than any other Word that is Said. They are The Source of Principled Words of Truth... also Korea was proclaimed as The Homeland... So True Parents are the Substance and are most important of all. When Father was asked about the proper order of the Title, Father emphasized that The Substance Itself is what's important.

Jesus said I AM The Way, The Truth and The Life. So Father as One with Mother is The Word, The Life, The Truth as Jesus was the Substantial Self... MORE IMPORTANT are the True Parents Themselves, Who are the Substantial Self of The Words.

We can realize how precious They are and what kind of life we are living... So members... every kind of sin can be forgiven but sin/hurt against The Spirit cannot be forgiven... We can go to Heaven, to God only possible through the Holy Spirit... Only through The Holy Spirit True Mother can we go to True Parents. It is impossible, unless we go through True Mother.

Today we are in the special Holy Spirit History and Age... not interrupting the work of men but of God... Jesus did supernatural works... The Jewish people who opposed Jesus could not throw away their Old Testament Truth in The New Testament Age of Jesus. In this Last Age, ONLY those who can listen to the Holy Voice of the Holy Spirit can be Reborn again... so that our hearts and minds can actually know it.

True Mother suddenly proclaimed a few very important things. Father made the big massive plan of CIG and True Mother is moving to achieve it little by little in a detailed and very clear way. All woman need take the lead centered on True Mother and stand together with more effort, also with the Vice National President of Korea. We need to center on the family to realize the four great realms of heart and the three great kingships. The family is the foundation of CIG; so, we need to realize the family of that reality. And we are Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, who pray to our Heavenly Parents.

Don't have two minds

Hak Ja Han
January 14, 2013
Message to Japanese sisters who live in Korea
Cheon Jeong Gung on HC 12.3

Translated from the Korean text posted on Peace TV by Katsumi Kambashi

I have been thinking for long time that I need to see you. I don't know the Japanese culture about this, but in Korean cultural tradition, regardless of their family status, good ancestry or regular one, parents, who want their married daughter to live a happy life, say to their daughter, "You don't belong to our family anymore. Bury your bones with your husband's family." How is Japanese culture on this matter?

What I want to say is "Don't have two minds." As Father always says, the kingdom of heaven is the place where two people become united. It is the kingdom of heaven where two people, being united, enter forming a family. In old days, when our ancestors educated their daughters, they, who even didn't know the principle, said to their daughters "You should be united with your husband's family. Forget your own family." They knew that would be the only way for their daughters to be loved and respected as wives and daughters-in-laws.

That's been said, Korea and Japan have many historical problems that prevent them from being united. Even today, people are talking like "Dok Do Island [Takeshima Island], is it yours or ours?" The Japanese insist it is theirs, but that's out of the question. Besides, what did Japan do during their occupation over Korea for 40 years? They made Korea their colony, didn't they? They did all bad things during the period, which human beings find hard to do, and this generation could never forgive. They even did medical experiments on living bodies. Mice and other animals are used for that purpose but can you even imagine that they used living human bodies?

Though you are not a Christian nation, you would understand this since you know the principle. God can't abandon humans after the fall. Right? I have been saying this recently. There are lots of parables and symbols in the Bible. Regarding the creation of heaven and earth, I say it took 12 days (stages) not six days (stages). The Bible says that since God is omnipotent He initiated the creation with the word like "Let there be light. Let there be the moon. Let there be rocks.'' But actually, it was not initiated by His word, but His investing all His spirit and energies. It means God invested everything He could. So it was not in "a day (stage)" until one creature was born. When considering these stages, it took 12 days (stages). From microorganism to the higher animals, God created them by investing all spirit and energies.

All of you were Blessed and walked the path of mother, and so I believe you understand how a baby was born through the process of 10 months. How was a baby born? "I can't stand anymore. The sky looks yellow and I will die." When you reached such a level, a new life was born, wasn't it? A baby isn't to be born easily. God, creating all creatures one by one, experiencing such pains, had a great expectation with the 13th day in which God's dream would be completed.

What did you learn God's desire is? You didn't study the principle, did you? Was it just to obtain pleasure? It is the completion of the Four Position Foundation. What does it mean? It means God wanted to become father and mother. So it doesn't count by "one day (stage)" but (totally) by "12 days (stages)." God wanted to multiply further with love and pleasure, and that is the Blessing. But why did Adam and Eve, whom God had raised with all his spirit and energies fall? They were in the era when their mind and body can resonate with God, but why did it happen? Why did God say "Don't eat"? I had thought before that they would have been able to be natural if there hadn't been such words.

Anyway, Father proclaimed that Foundation Day, which falls on HC 1.13, is the most important day. It has been 12 years since the coronation ceremony of God's kingship, during which Father had done so many providential things. Do you understand? This is a principled number, isn't it? This is not a day that we just happen to have.

Entering the era of the Old Testament, God prepared the Israelites with the idea of "chosen people." But what happened to their life? Right now they are living in a small area under the name of Israel in the Middle East, but before Jesus came to them, God had been bringing them up promising that He would send them the Savior. It was the time when Rome made Israel a dependency. That's why they were yearning for the Savior believing they are a special people. They believed everything would be solved when the Savior came to them.

They believed the Savior would come to them in a glorious way. But it seems they didn't know indemnity. In the providential history of restoration, there is specially responsibility, and if one can't accomplish it, indemnity must be paid. We learned this, didn't we? But the Israelites didn't know this. It is not that indemnity doesn't take place just because they don't know it. What happened to them who killed Jesus? They became a people who had been wandering for 2,000 years without having a nation. You have to consider this deeply. The same principle applies to this age: where there is responsibility, indemnity may take place.

Since I am here, the indemnity condition to be paid can be smaller. It could be reduced. But when even I go to the spirit world, if you don't accomplish your responsibility, the indemnity condition will become bigger. Is this right or not? Then what will you do? It is not enough now to say "I will do my best." How can I touch your heart so that you understand this point?

All of you raise your children, don't you? How many of them do follow what you parents expect? How many? The sky is the limit when it comes to protecting them. It is difficult, right? I think children, especially those who were born from Korean / Japanese couples that hold emotions from the past history, have difficulties. They must have difficulties since they are in the place where indemnity conditions need to be paid on the racial level. But you have to overcome that. Can you pass by such indemnity conditions? You need to overcome it and clean it up.

I said this, didn't I? When I was Blessed with Father, I set two goals: I myself will conclude the providential history of restoration through indemnity so that Satan can have no word. Also I will realize God's ideal of creation. These were my two goals. Nobody including Father told me what would happen in the future. But I realized that later generations would inherit difficulties if I couldn't fulfill this. This is the last chance.

Have you heard what Father said before his Seonghwa, that he had perfected, concluded and completed the providential history of restoration? What did he ask you to do? To fulfill your responsibility as Tribal Messiahs. How can you do that? It is through witnessing. Those who have been in Korea for more than 20 years, raise your hand. 10 years? Only this many? How long have you been in Korea? Why don't you answer? You don't understand Korean? 19 years? Then it is almost 20 years. Have you become the Tribal Messiah on your husband's side? Have you done it or not? You said you are doing it now. Then by when will you fulfill it? Father set D-Day and what have you done so far?

Now your responsibility is doubling membership. Until when are you going to postpone doing it? Have you understood what I said recently? Did I say I would offer this nation as God's fatherland and suzerain state in year 2020 when Father becomes 100 years old? Or did I say I give up this nation? Then what should you do? You should act upon Father's teachings and do your responsibility at the risk of your life. How do you do it? Why is there so little response? If someone holds a flag, I think the Japanese like to follow him or her in the back. Do you just follow the person who holds the flag? You have your own responsibility with your husband's family and tribe. You should become the central figure and walk as the head of people. Will you do it? You think you are separate but I don't think that way. Do you understand? Being united with Korean HQ, you as one organization, should follow the direction of the Korean HQ. Do you understand?

This time, I assigned a new president of the Korean church (Chang Shik Yang), and I assigned the president Lan Young Moon (from WFWP) as vice president of the church. That is for women to take a lead. You should join the line and do 전력투구 (to invest the best and all of one's efforts).

전력투구! 사생결단 (to risk one's life)! Without fail! In 2020! The year when Father becomes 100 years old! We are determined to offer God and parents Korea as God's fatherland! We are determined! We are determined! We are determined! Can I trust you? We have seven years to go, but within three years you need to be able to establish a foundation which has impact on more than one third of the Korea people in order to show your potential.

Do you understand? Korean population is 40 million or 45 million? Or 50 million? Is it over 50 million? So you need to be determined to bring 25 million people to God's will within three years. Then we can restore this nation within seven years. Do you understand? For that sake, you should go forward as one organization with one heart and one will. Please don't forget this point.

Does anyone have an objection to what I just said? If you don't do well, your descendants will have to pay lots of indemnity. I as a person became successful, but you are 7,000 people in total. How would you be able to say you can't do it? Why can't you do it? Do you understand?

WFWP and Korean FFWPU HQ became united and are one organization.

Foundation Day

Hak Ja Han
January 10, 2013
Excerpts

Beloved blessed families around the world, family members, ambassadors for peace, I am praying that this day will be one filled with Heaven's grace for all of you.

Beloved members! How are your preparations for Foundation Day going? In a phrase, it is the era of the re-creation of heaven and earth.

Do you all have unity between mind and body? Have you created oneness in the circumstances you are in, oneness in your family, and oneness in your society? Those who have achieved that, please raise your hands. There are presently thirty-three days remaining until Foundation Day.

Today Church President Chang Shik Yang gave a good sermon. Beloved members, you will have been thinking about many things. To put it briefly, we are sinners in front of Heaven. In front of the grace we have received from Heaven, we have not been able to fulfill our responsibility at all. Is there anyone who can stand up and proudly say he or she has completed everything?

At this point in time, what is very clear to us is that for the first time in history we are ushering in Foundation Day, a day of blessing never before seen and which will never be seen again.

However, what is your attitude toward it at this time? Do you intend to receive it without doing anything for it? Will you receive it in the capacity of sons and daughters? Tell me.

Is there one person among you who can place a hand over your heart and listen to what your innermost conscience tells you?

Once again, we need to think about Father, who has gone before us, and repent while dressed in sackcloth. We need to be able to forgive one another. How? How?

The work for God's providence of restoration through indemnity was hard enough, but True Parents still give everything unsparingly and wish for you to become proud citizens of Cheon Il Guk. We, however, are so unworthy in front of them. We are not ready at all. What, then, should we do?

You need to place yourselves in the lowest position and receive the coming Foundation Day with a repentant heart while asking Heaven to take pity on you.

On that note, I would like to say this: Those who are involved in these unnecessary lawsuits in Korea and overseas should repent. I wish to tell them to put everything down and start afresh through Foundation Day. The blessed families in all parts of the world who are making preparations to welcome Foundation Day should observe a period of time during which they have nothing to be ashamed of in front of Heaven.

I have opened all doors through Foundation Day. I have opened the doors wide for anyone who will resolve to join the ranks of the filial, the loyal and the faithful and translate beliefs into action, practicing absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience until his or her last moment on earth, centering on True Parents.

When we make such a resolution and carry it out, we will not need to indemnify anything in the future. Do you understand? We need to prepare for the era of Cheon Il Guk, which is free from indemnity. We need to fulfill our responsibility, therefore. No one else can do it for us. It is up to us to fulfill it. That is why, as I have said, we now need to stake our lives on and devote all our energies toward doing so.

Such things will be unnecessary in an ideal world. Isn't that so? Will you do it? If you promise to do so, clap as loudly as you can, until all of heaven and earth is ringing with your applause.

Thank you. I hope and pray that your devotions will bring glory to heaven and joy to earth and that you will all become beloved and acknowledged citizens of Cheon Il Guk in the eternal era of Cheon Il Guk.

Let us once again make the resolution to do our best to accelerate our work of guiding all 7 billion people of the world to become its citizens under our Heavenly Parents. Only when you have achieved this can you be free when you pass into the next world.

We will live in a world that is free from accusation. If you fail to fulfill your responsibility on earth, accusations will follow you into the eternal world. Then, in the spirit world, where you breathe with your heart of love, you will have trouble breathing. You need to know this.

Therefore, even if you are getting older, that is fine. I ask you once again to fulfill your responsibilities while you are still on earth, so that you can freely stand in front of True Parents in the eternal world and be proud of yourselves.

With these words, I would like to conclude this assembly.

The Foundation Day logo, named in English and Chinese characters, with a phoenix and crane, symbols of a divine being and True Parents, represents the Holy Wedding of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and the Registration Blessing of all blessed families.

Until now, True Father carried out his work for the providence worldwide, and he established leaders in each nation to take charge of their respective nations, but they have failed to fulfill their responsibilities. Not one nation can boast of having made any great achievements. In particular, they have failed to educate their successors, their second-generation members, and their leaders. Therefore, to set an example for others, I have established a military-type school. [Applause] It is not a military school like West Point. Actually, it is an educational institute for the nurturing of leaders, which will become world famous in time. It offers courses for a master's degree. We will select students with the required qualities from amongst the graduates of four-year colleges and focus on educating them in the Divine Principle and character development for two years, after which they will go out to work in the field. Thus, they will be educated for a total of three years. Then, we will send them out to carry out witnessing work officially. Depending on their aptitude, they will be able to choose between spending their life in the ministry or working in other providential organizations.

For sixty years following the establishment of our church, True Father worked publicly and earnestly for the sake of God's providence. It is not an overstatement to say that he spent two thirds of that time, that is, forty years of his life, in America. Our eternal homeland is Korea, but he invested more in America. Why was that? He was thinking about all humankind. The great blessing that America is the eldest-son nation means it should gather the brothers together in unity and bring them to the parents. Have you been thinking about this, day and night?

To the world, at this time, and to this nation, True Father came and did his work as the returning Lord, the Messiah and the Savior. Given that, is it enough that you bring just a few blessed families? For more than sixty years of his life, True Father took responsibility, devoting himself to raising you, explaining that you are to fulfill the tribal messiah mission and bless 430 couples. If blessed families had fulfilled these responsibilities, we could have honored Father more gloriously when sending him off to Heaven. The world's six billion people could have seen with their own eyes that the Messiah's Second Advent had occurred and on that basis determined their own paths. We failed to prepare. We committed a serious sin in front of Heaven. Our wearing sackcloth, mourning bitterly and offering prayers of repentance for a year would be insufficient because the sin we have committed is too serious. The fact that we did not fulfill our responsibility is a serious sin. We only received love but we did not know how to share it. We ourselves did not grow.

True Father worked day and night without rest, throughout his whole life. (I also have never slept more than three hours a day from when I began attending True Father.) Therefore, we are tired throughout the day, aren't we? Because we are human. Now, True Father has gone to the spirit world. He transcends time and space and is working busily. I imagine he does not have time to sleep. Today, I speak to you in order to open the way not only for you but also for your descendants in the future.

November 5, 2012 (9.22 by the heavenly calendar) Members Meeting, New York

True Father's teachings and life's work are like gemstones. No matter how precious a gemstone is, it must be cut and polished so that it glitters. Briefly stated, a gemstone is a gemstone, yet it starts out unrefined. I want to bring glory to Heaven by preserving these teachings permanently. This would be to prevent some overconfident person in the future touching them; so that there would be nothing added or subtracted in future generations. I alone can do this. Isn't that true? Who else could do it?

I am well aware of the process by which Cheon Seong Gyeong was made. From now on, things will never happen in that way. When True Father's teachings are published, the content should go through many committees -- a process of examination -- before a book comes out. All of this is for your benefit, and for your descendants benefit. I do this so that you can hold this book in your arms when you go to the spirit world at the end of your earthly life. Be proud in front of True Father. Report to him, "During my life, thanks to receiving training from Mother, I loved this book, I loved your teachings so much that I have come with it in my arms." I am saying that I am going to perfect, complete and conclude this clearly.

January 7, 2013 (11.26 by the heavenly calendar) New Year's Celebration, Cheon Jeong Gung

---

We must change the names we use. When we pray to God, from now please change what you say to "Heavenly Parent." The name "Heavenly Parent" is smooth in English and it is meaningful in the Korean, too. Don't you agree? The first words you say when you pray should be "Heavenly Parent" and then "Loving True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind." Make these changes first. If I don't sort this out as we welcome Foundation Day, you will not be able to do that. Not even my children can do that. This is something I have asked my original mind. Do you understand? [Yes.]

From now, we are not the Unification Church but the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. I planned to announce this after Foundation Day, but we need to be united on this matter before the Foundation Day Ceremony. I am saying this because there needs to be unity.

January 7, 2013 (11.26 by the Heavenly Calendar) New Year Celebration, Cheon Jeong Palace

Come with me to the end.... Actually, since True Father's ascension I cannot fall into a deep sleep without taking something.

I guess that reflects my character. I am the kind of person that cannot sleep if something remains unsettled. But after meeting you today, I realize I am not alone. I think that here are the laborers, my sisters and daughters, who will accept my will and work accordingly.

January 10, 2013 (11.29 by the heavenly calendar) WFWP New Year Celebration, Cheon Jeong Gung

Let's make the coming seven years, until 2020, the best years of our lives, until the day we offer this nation to Heaven. Will you do that?

And didn't I say that after Foundation Day I am going to offer this nation to Heaven in 2020, one hundred years since True Father's birth? I sincerely ask everyone here to participate and to be woman leaders who are grounded in loyalty, devotion and virtue. There can be no king without a people. Therefore, we women must nurture, give birth to, and increase the citizens of Cheon Il Guk. It is not only for this nation. Until we give rebirth to the 7 billion people of the world, we will use the expression "devoting ourselves completely with a life or death commitment." Will you do that? So, what must we do? Invest our very lives. We have a nation that we must offer to Heaven in seven year's time. It's a small country. Thinking in terms of the world, it is small.

It should be unified, first of all. We ought to lead it in that direction. Therefore, how important the role of our women is! Think about it. Moreover, it's not now a time to do a daughter's work. Rather, it's a time in which we must take on a mother's mission. We should give birth to and raise a child.

True Father built a big house and gave it to us. We should organize and arrange it neatly and equip it well. That's our responsibility....

It has been twelve years since Father proclaimed before us at the Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God that Foundation Day the thirteenth day of the first month, would be the most important day of all. During those years he carried out many providential tasks for the coming Foundation Day. In truth, this important day was not easily or accidentally established. Back in the days of the Old Testament, God established the concept of the chosen people for His providence of restoration and prepared the people of Israel to be His chosen people. The Israelites knew they were a special people and they waited for the coming of the Savior, believing that everything would be resolved when he came. They also believed that he would come in all splendor. It is my opinion that they did not know about indemnity. In working for the providence of restoration, you are given special responsibilities, and if you fail to fulfill them, you need to indemnify that. This is also true in the present era. When you have responsibilities, there is every chance that you may need to offer indemnity.

Every one of you here should participate and sincerely invest your whole self.
