Distinguished guests, peace ambassadors and loving blessed families and members,

Would you all give a big hand to our Heavenly Parent and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind to congratulate and thank them for enabling this rally to be convened today?

I am completely overwhelmed with emotions through this rally commemorating the fifty-fifth anniversary of mission work in Japan. That was a time when diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan had not been normalized yet. However, Father, the True Parent of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind had thought of this day. You must not forget that present-day Japan exists because of True Parents' forgiveness, love and the grace of the Blessing.

I would like to recognize the distinguished services of our former and present presidents of FFWPU-Japan, elder members, and blessed central families whose committed efforts and dedication has enabled our second-and third-generation members of blessed families to become the hope and light of this country.

The providence, Heaven conducted, prepared and waited over a long period of time for the day True Parents could be sent. If we go back two thousand years ago as of today, Heaven raised the people of Israel through the doctrine of the chosen people. The whole world had to pass through the Roman Empire centered on the Italian peninsula. It was a powerful empire. That was a time when the Israelites had no country. Heaven had promised to send the Messiah to Israel.

Heaven kept its promise. Unfortunately, people did not know God's providence and the history of indemnity and failed to see Jesus properly. Heaven had hoped that it becomes an opportunity for the people of Israel, who were then living in miserable circumstances, to overwhelm Rome overnight through the ideology of the Messiah. However, how did the Messiah come? God raised the people of Israel for four thousand years, promising them to send his son which he finally did; however, this very son is welcomed in a manger of all places.

Three sages, three people celebrated Jesus' coming while the people Heaven raised made Jesus die on the cross. How should we regard this? After waiting for four thousand years, can you imagine what God's heart was like? It would be greater than the heart of parents who have lost their child during their earthly life. God is omniscient and omnipotent. His beginning and end are the same. He started the providential history and must see its results. Hence, Christianity was formed through the environment of the Roman Empire. Christianity was actively spread across the European continent. This is how it crossed over to the island country of England. There was a saying in those days that the sun never sets on the British Empire.

This is how profound and mysterious God's providence is. However, mankind did not know that they had responsibilities and that indemnity followed them. Heaven then conducted the providence to enter the era in which the Roman Empire could embrace the whole world as one; however, when he lost the era which he had worked so hard to set up, he once more started the providence centered on the maritime realm of the British Empire to embrace the world as one. Unfortunately, what they did made it very difficult for the people involved to raise their heads in front of Heaven. What had happened to Christianity? It became tied up with the privileged class and its system and the people living in this era were blocked from living a true life of faith; however, when the Bible became translated into English, people could finally learn about God's teachings in-depth. A new group, known as Puritans that desired to freely attend God, started rising.

With this aspiration, they headed towards the new continent in search of religious freedom. When the Puritans moved to and started settling in the new continent of America around the 1920s, they first built a church where they could attend God. Next, they established a school for their descendants. They then built houses for themselves. This is how much they revered Heaven. Heaven blessed them. Within the short period of 200 years, the United States became a democratic country that can lead the world; it has become a powerful nation. This is how difficult each step God took in his providence to find humanity in a profound and mysterious manner was. That was around the end of World War II. The victorious countries centered on the United States, which was part of the Allied Forces, helped Japan, the defeated country.

Why did it help Japan? That was because the Returning Lord, the True Parents had appeared. All countries became one family. Heaven showed it to us by setting up the United States. Unfortunately, people were unaware of the providence or the providence of restoration through indemnity until the very end and could not advance well. The United States wasn't an exception. The United States, which was supposed to attend Heaven, was flowing in a direction of gradual collapse instead. It was then when Rev. Moon embarked for the United States. That was in 1972. As soon as he arrived in the United States, he set off on a speaking tour of the fifty states and declared, "I have come as a doctor because the United States is suffering in illness. I have come as a firefighter to put out the fire that has broken out in American homes." He awakened the United States as he toured and lectured in the fifty states. Through the Puritan spirit, Heaven hoped that the United States would serve God first, embrace the world, and fulfill its responsibilities in front of the Returning Lord. However, they were not aware of this. Despite this, the Providence continues to develop. The development of civilization, which started centered on the Italian peninsula, has finally yielded fruit in Korea, the birthplace of True Parents.

However, Japan could be forgiven and blessed through True Parents. Do you understand?

The mother's country, Eve's country… What kind of love is a mother's love? Let us say a child is sick or in pain; can I just say I am the mother and delight in it? Those who are in charge of Japan, those who will lead Japan in the future think that they should depend on one's country; however, that would be going against the providence. A mother should embrace all her children around the world. She should embrace and educate the children, introducing True Father and guiding them into the bosom of Parents. Such a responsibility is a blessing bestowed to Japan by Heaven. As I mentioned before, there is always responsibility in front of blessings. However, if one fails to fulfill one's responsibilities, indemnity would follow. When a chosen people, leaders, and countries failed to fulfill their responsibilities in history, we have observed the kind of indemnity they had to pay. Even if I do not talk about every single example here on stage, I am sure that you all know about it.

A place showered with big blessings is not for an individual but one in which the world can become one. In order to do so, we must fulfill all of our responsibilities. The time has come for Japan and Korea to also become one geographically. These are current members of parliament from Malaysia who recently paid a visit to Cheon Jeong Gung. I met thirty members of parliament and told them that the wealth and prosperity enjoyed in Malaysia alone as a country would not last for eternity if the twenty countries in Asia do not all unite. Unity is the only way to survive and to find a method by which aggravating problems such as environmental pollution on earth can be resolved. Japan also faces a lot of problems, right? Once we become one and serve our True Parents whom we must attend, then all problems can be resolved one after the other.

Blessed families and all citizens of Japan, would you become one with True Parents and take the lead in saving Asia and the world?

You must convey True Parents' teachings in order to achieve it. You must resurrect lives. You must help people get away from the fallen realm. I explained that Foundation Day in 2013 marked the conclusion and completion of the providence of restoration through indemnity and that we have entered the Cheon Il Guk era through which a new history and a new age are being opened centered on our Heavenly Parents. That is right. Heaven will certainly be able to achieve it and succeed.

Please accelerate your efforts and become pioneers and ancestors who reveal Heavenly Parent's glory to all seven billion people not only until 2020 but also until your very last breath. With this, I conclude my message. Thank you.

Hak Ja Han appoints younger leaders Kyeng Seuk Lu, Yeop Joo Hwang and Kyu Sam Lee to major church offices

October 11, 2013
Translated by Lymhwa Kim

True Mother (Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon) announced the promotions of a second-generation Young Unificationists to a top leadership posts along with other leadership changes at a luncheon on Oct. 10, 2013 according to an official memo from the church in Korea. The memo states: “This is to announce an appointment and leadership change in accordance with the instructions of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.”

Rev. Kyeng Seuk Lu has been appointed to the position of president of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) Korea. Rev. Lu is a blessed second-generation member who has served in the public mission in Korea and who also served as a missionary to Georgia. Dr. Chang Shik Yang will step down from his position as Chairman of the Unification Movement in Korea.

Dr. Yang will continue to serve as the International Vice-President of FFWPU and will also take up the role as International Chairman at the Universal Peace Federation.

Rev. Yeop Joo Hwang has been appointed Vice President of the World Mission Center.

Rev. Kyu Sam Lee has been appointed Vice President and secretary general of FFWPU Korea

True Mother held the luncheon inviting approximately 120 leaders such as the senior members and regional directors of FFWPU Korea, and participants of Top Gun Workshop. Prior to the gathering, all participants had paid respects to True Father at Bon Hyang Won.

True Mother’s message to the luncheon participants on Oct. 10, 2013 follows below.

“Everyone, are you living each day as if you were living a thousand years and living a thousand years as if you were living a day?

“The reason I gathered you here is because we made a promise in front of Heaven. So, do you understand the meaning of the words I said “living a thousand years as if it were a day”? We need to work toward that day which our sincere devotion (Jeong Seong) and efforts can make glorious, happy and proud. This way is the chief responsibility of people on earth. It is time to fulfill your responsibility.

“Now we have less than six years until the day we promised to complete our goals for 2020. But it won’t happen the way we are acting now. We need to show actual results. We need to harvest the fruits. That way, our descendants can live at ease. As I said earlier, in order to move forward with spirit and truth you need to explain who True Parents are clearly. Everyone should know about True Parents. This is the hope of all humankind and Heaven. Only that way, can we sort out this complicated, current generation.

“After World War II, Heaven wanted the world to become sibling nations centered on the United States. So, the victorious United States helped to rebuild the defeated nation Japan. It has been possible for Japan to prosper today as a result of True Parents. The only way forward is to unite as one centered on True Parents in order to save humanity and all nations. Korea especially has a mission to fulfill its responsibilities in front of the Providence. Only we know this path. So we need to let other people know, too. But how and what do we need to do in order to do this?

“The 40 Top-Gun people came here, right? Did you study hard? Did you read all the Cheon Seong Gyeong? What did you feel when you studied the Cheon Seong Gyeong? The purpose for educating second-generation Top Guns is to unite mind and body by subduing the body. When you unite your mind and body, we can become one on the same goal whether you have higher position or lower position. We need to become one bullet to hit the target, the Vision 2020. This means we need to bring victory. Later on when you work on something, you need to move together horizontally, more so than vertically. That way, you can stand centered and unified. Originally, if we had grown up in the God’s creation, it would have been easy to unite mind and body, but due to the Fall it is tough. Second generation, by exercising your ability, you must complete the providence for which the first generation had suffered hardships. You should not be a watcher and bystander. The people who are surviving should run towards that one goal.

Unite and Be Victorious

What kind of day is it today? In the beginning, you used your sense of sight and then your sense of taste for the luncheon. What follows next? It is time for you to listen attentively. Did you all enjoy lunch? Do you feel invigorated? To conduct a life in which you must speak a lot is not easy. Am I right? Don't you all speak a lot? I am living every day as if it were a thousand years and as if a thousand years were a day. We made a promise in front of Heaven. Can you truly feel what I am experiencing when I say that a thousand years feel like a day?

Our dedication and efforts must return glory and joy to Heaven and actually establish the day that Heaven can be proud of. As people living on earth, this is the only way you should go. We are in a time when you should fulfill your responsibilities.

I worried a lot for several days. We now have only six years left until the day that we promised to offer to Heaven comes. Hence, we cannot afford to just ascribe our present efforts to trial and error. We must have something practical to show. We must have results. We must yield fruit. Only by doing so can our descendants feel assured and can we open the way.

I emphasized this in the beginning. When it comes to advancing with the Holy Spirit and the truth, you must clearly be able to help others know about True Parents, which is what humanity and Heaven wish and hope for. This path alone can sort out this complicated present era. Members of Parliament from Malaysia paid a visit to Cheon Jeong Gung and I told them that two countries joining hands for world peace can play a bigger role than one country alone and that three countries can take a bigger role than two countries and so forth.

If the twenty countries in Asia come together under one heart and one will, Asia would be able to embrace the world. However, you need to know about the Divine Principle and the Unification teachings. You need to know about True Parents. There is no other way to resolve religious conflicts, political, territorial and racial problems occurring around the world except by attending True Parents. Attending Parents is the only way.

After World War II, Heaven set up the United States and established democratic sibling countries around the world. The United States was victorious at the end of World War II, together with the Allied Forces. However, it did not enslave Japan, a defeated nation, but helped it instead. It helped Japan develop economically. We can conclude that Japan could have this benefit because of True Parents, because the returning Lord had come.

I will speak about this truth during my upcoming speaking tour of Japan. Uniting under True Parents is the only way that humanity and nations, Korea in particular, can fulfill their responsibilities in front of God's will. Yet, we are the only ones that are aware of this providence. Politicians and Koreans generally are ignorant of this. Hence, we must let them know about it.

Are the forty Top Gun participants here? Have you all studied hard until now? Did you all read Cheon Seong Gyeong? What did you feel while studying Cheon Seong Gyeong? Did I do a good thing by compiling this scripture or not? If there is anyone who does not understand it, you must be able to explain it to the person properly. If there is anyone who raises an objection, tell the person to read it only three times and no more than that. If that same person still feels nothing even after reading it three times, tell the person to read it ten times.

If the person still has objections to Cheon Seong Gyeong after that, the person can voice them. You will never be able to imagine the hidden painful content I had to go through after Father's ascension. The returning Lord, True Parents… You may not be aware of it, but your descendants after hundreds or thousands of years will consider you as their ancestor that worked with True Parents. If you receive judgment, how shameful and sorrowful would that be in front of Heaven?

I am saving you. You must understand that. However, that does not mean that you are completely qualified. What kind of history can I, as an individual that breathed and lived with True Parents in this age, pass on to my descendants? Can you be compared to Jesus's twelve Apostles of the past? What would happen if we cannot fulfill our responsibilities? Two thousand years ago, the chosen people of Israel received indelible, great indemnity when they crucified Jesus. What happened as a result?

Even now, Jews and Judaism still do not know why six million Jews became victims of attempted genocide. On the other hand, we could study a lot more about history and could listen to it and understand. However, when it comes to the problem of responsibility, your physical desires push you to find the easier way. Education for Top Gun second-generation leaders this time aims at restraining the body and giving it a hard time in order for it to unite with the mind. Only when the body and mind become united, can unity under one goal be achieved regardless of rank or position.

As we all advance toward the goal and 2020, let us all join hands and become one bullet that shoots through the target. We must be victorious. Do you understand what I am saying? Do you understand Top Gun participants? You are one. You may be different in age from one another, but you are all one. That is what I am educating you about. When you conduct your missions in the future, instead of a top-down focus, you must be able to horizontally become one and then head together toward one goal.

Only by doing so can the center be erected. It will not work if we keep saying that only Korea is God's fatherland and a providential country. We must create an environment. Am I right?

The global providence is important. Saying that this much time has passed and just assuming that things will work out under the goal we have will not work.

Originally, if we had grown up within the realm God had created absent the Fall, everything would have been easier. However, our bodies and minds have been stained within the fallen realm. For the mind to do as it wishes is practically difficult.

This also applies to second-generation members. Your first-generation parents followed the providential way, suffering much in the process. You cannot fulfill your responsibilities if you only try to use some of your ability to live and eat well within a fence. You, who are living in this era, must all run toward one goal. You must not become bystanders.

Hence, it is my hope today that the Korean church, the Korean headquarters, moves with the Holy Spirit and the truth night and day.

The Korean–Japanese relationship is presently in a very delicate state. Asia and the United States are each going through some delicate phase too. However, I am embarking on a speaking tour in Japan because I promised to do so. Please pray a lot for this tour.

It is time to fulfill your responsibility

Your first-generation parents suffered because of serving God’s Providence, [yet] with your second-generation abilities and fortune, you should accomplish God’s will. You should not be a watcher and bystander. The people who are surviving should run towards that one goal.

Summary of True Mother’s speech

Everyone, are you living each day as if you were living a thousand years and a living a thousand years as if you were living a day? The reason I gathered you here is because we made a promise in front of Heaven. So, do you understand the meaning of the words I said “living a thousand years as if it were a day”? We need to work toward that a day which our Jeongseong and efforts can make glorious, happy and proud. This way is the chief responsibility of people on earth. It is time to fulfill your responsibility.

Now we have less than six years until the day we promised. But it won’t happen the way we are acting now. We need to show actual results. We need to harvest the fruits. That way, our descendants can live at ease. As I said earlier, in order to move forward with sprit and truth you need to explain who True Parents are clearly. Everyone should know about True Parents.

Korea especially has a mission to fulfill its responsibilities in front of the Providence. Only we know this path. So we need do let other people know, too. But how and what do we need to do in order to do this?

The 40 Top-Gun people came here, right? Did you study hard? Di you read all the Cheon Seong Gyeong? What did you feel when you studied the Cheon Seong Gyeong? The purpose of education secondgeneration Top Guns is to unite mind and body by subduing the body. When you unite your mind and body, we can become one on the same goal whether you have higher position or lower position. We need to become one bullet to hit the target, the Vision 2020. This means we need to bring victory.

Later on when you work on something, you need to move together horizontally, more so than vertically. That way, you can stand centered and unified.

Originally, if we had grown up in the God’s creation it would have been easy to unite mind and body, but due to the Fall it is tough. Second generation, by exercising your ability, you must complete the providence for which the first generation had suffered hardships. You should not be a watcher and bystander. The people who are surviving should run towards that one goal.

The Path to Unity for the People of the World

To Members of the Malaysian Parliament
Cheong Jeong Gung

Humanity's hope is also the hope of our Heavenly Parent. All throughout history, mankind strived for a world of peace that has no conflicts. Yet, this has been difficult to realize. A world of peace cannot be achieved only by one person's or one nation's efforts.

The path to unity between brothers and sisters around the world can be made only if the True Parents, the root of humanity, substantially come. True Parents are the solution to all humanity's problems. However, why did their coming take this long? In order to understand this, you need to spend some time studying the Principle of the Family Federation for World Peace.

What I can confidently say is that True Parents have substantially come after six thousand years. I believe that you will awaken if in the future you study history and the Principle.

I understand that there are twenty countries in Asia. However, they cannot all become one through just the efforts of one nation. When one country joins hands with another and becomes two, their power also becomes stronger. This power greatly increases when three, four, five or more countries come together. The more we come together, the more thoroughly we can create the environment.

That is why I invited you here today. I would like to say to you all on this occasion is that it is necessary for you to learn the teachings of the Unification Church, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, which is leading the world providence with the Holy Spirit and the truth, in order to become national leaders that can lead Asia from the forefront.

A hundred years ago, a great poet from India, Rabindranath Tagore, wrote about Korea, "And the lamp is waiting to be lighted once more for the illumination in the East."

However, he wrote this poem at a time when Koreans had no country. Light refers to the truth and this indicates that it is a country to which the true owner can come. Thank you.

After Hoon Dok Hae

October is the month of liberation and hope. Today is the first day of October. We should be able to proudly report each day of our lives in front of Heaven. I report my daily life to Heaven in the same manner. Before I begin to do something, I report it first. I say I am about to start something for this or that reason, please bestow on me the wisdom to do so. I am a mother. A mother does not take the side of only one son. Do you know that? This is common knowledge in the world. You are indeed deeply blessed. Being able to meet me alone shows how blessed you are. You must grow. Aju!

We receive 200 percent of necessary nutrients for the body and soul through Hoon Dok Hae. Am I right? Doesn’t it invigorate you? We should not keep it to ourselves; we should be able to disseminate it. After doing Hoon Dok Hae, your day must be one of sharing. Your life should be able to bring new life to others. You must be able to yield fruit. Having worship services that transcend religion is good. You must clearly teach people that they must attend True Parents and advance. All religions, ideological groups or institutions have great people, but all of them are advancing towards one goal, which is to attend True Parents. There cannot be many religions in one world of peace, a united world. We must attend only True Parents. You must push forward in this manner. You must speak out in this manner. You must teach that this is the only way to have true freedom and peaceful unification.

You have probably heard about second-generation leaders being educated down the hill just now. This education is essential for this age. All first-generation and second-generation educators must become one. We must become one and the tribe, people and nation of an individual must be united. We are living in an age of equality. No matter what position you may be holding now, your hearts should all be ready to unite.

Do you know that True Father chose the United States instead of Korea in order to achieve global restoration? That is why he worked hard in the United States for thirty-four years. This was because human civilization throughout the world was influenced by Christianity. In addition, the United States of America was founded based on the great Christian spirit of Puritans and the Pilgrim Fathers to worship God. That is why Heaven held them and set them up. Today, the United States leads the world despite its short two hundred years history.

In those days, they lacked the ship technology we possess today. Hence, you can imagine their hearts, risking their lives in order to find freedom of religion on a new continent. Even though food ran low onboard the ship, the Pilgrims kept some seeds aside thinking of the future after they landed. Upon landing, the first thing they did was build a church where they could serve God and a school through which they could educate their descendants. It was only after they finished constructing these that they built their own houses. Heaven regarded their effort as precious, cherishing and embracing the United States in love as he set it up as a nation. The United States was supposed to embrace the world, but was falling ill. Hence, True Father went on a speaking tour of all fifty states in the early days of our church. In his speeches, he said he had come as a doctor because America had become ill. He said that America was on fire, suffering indescribable pain at seeing its youth wasted through involvement with drugs and that he had therefore come as a firefighter. He aimed his efforts at saving the United States.

Why was True Father trying to save America? It was because he had come as the True Parents and had to embrace the world. In addition, the era prepared to welcome the Messiah had been ushered in, but all countries were unaware of it. We are not siblings meant to fight with one another. Don’t we have to meet the parents, whom we have awaited for six thousand years to attend in true love? Don’t you have to unite once you listen to your parents’ teachings? The United States was the nation that played an intercessory role.

After 1975, True Father dispatched missionaries to the world from three nations including the United States, Europe, with the majority from Germany, and Japan. While dispatching missionaries, Father also educated leader-types that would lead the United States. It was then that Father first called the group “top gun.” This group might today be called an elite unit, a group that educated key figures. Those in this group are in their sixties or seventies now. Some participants are in their eighties now. Unfortunately, the second-generation realm that is to carry on this tradition is weak. That is regrettable. What should we do about it? If I also give up, your future will end up being miserable too. We will not live for eternity anyway. The spiritual world is our hometown. Earthly life is a time when we should equip ourselves with all the conditions needed to go to our hometown.

However, we seem incapable of being part of the center, even on earth and are too self-absorbed.

You must all become devoted sons or daughters of True Parents at all costs. Do you understand? You should also unite with your brothers and sisters through true love. Don’t parents actually worry more about a halfwitted child? Aren’t they more concerned about that one? They worry more about the less capable child than the capable one. You have all raised children. You all probably relate to this heart. Please do not justify fights in the name of True Parents in front of us. Have a greater heart. If you could set up your brothers and sisters, give them opportunities, our foundation, our assets would grow. People are also assets. The deep connection that closely binds us as a true family centered on True Parents is something none but us have.

This deep connection has formed for the first time after six thousand years. We should be able to show that proudly in our lives. How much have you proudly showed it off? If True Parents are removed from the church, the school or the institutions, they do not have any existence anymore. One most precious treasure that others -- society, other organizations, the government -- does not have is True Parents. You are True Parents’ children. Once this era passes, those in the next era will greatly envy you. How great everything becomes will depend on how wide, deep and high an environment you create centered on God’s will. Do you understand?

We must be able to follow the good points of our brothers and sisters. Don’t we all have one goal -- one world, a unified world under God, under our Heavenly Parent and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind? Do you understand? As we look ahead to 2020, don’t you think it is time for us to oil our efforts even more?

Don’t you think we should accelerate our efforts? How can we achieve what we could not do for forty years within the remaining six years? We should work on creating an environment and do so with more effort than the president or government of your country. We have immense spiritual power. Don’t you feel it? You must become people that can feel it.

That is why I am training second-generation top guns. Father did the same. After he made the determination to follow this path, Father made the goal to have complete control over himself before desiring to rule the cosmos. You are all familiar with Father’s personality. Imagine how hot-blooded he would have been when he was young. This shows us how much Father had to restrain himself for the liberation of God, the salvation of humanity and the providence of restoration through indemnity.

Some leaders are also here. Do not be conceited for having high positions. You must be able to look down and look to the side. From this perspective, I am once more making the preparations needed to equip ourselves. The time for us to practice the faith by which we were loyal to Heaven and a life of living for the sake of others through true love has come. This is how you can gain moral excellence for your children and for your descendants. True Parents have been living in this manner. Why can't we follow them as children? When it comes to the whole, you must all become one in front of the will that everyone desires accomplished, no matter how high or low your positions are. Only by doing that can all discontent and complaints disappear, and our neighborhood, society and world become happy and free. Do you understand?

You may face difficulties at this very moment, but I would like to ask you to think bigger. Please think big. We have waited for True Parents for six thousand years. One year has passed since Father ascended; you must be able to live a life clearly testifying about True Parents. I can also go to the spiritual world at any time. Think of how pitiful mankind, which comprises more than seven billion people, is. They live in the same age as True Parents, yet they do not know them and live in difficulty, wandering around without hope. These people are your brothers and sisters. Do you understand? Show pride and dignity of being True Parents' children to those closest to you first. Dignity… Instead of feeling proud about eating well and wearing good clothes, we should be proud of having the most precious and the best gems among all true gems. Though you have this most precious gem, you have not been proud of it. Don't you all like gems? Do you understand? You must witness hard. You must make sure that every person without exception in your neighborhood knows about True Parents. You must be able to show it. Leaders are important, but it is also important that each of you and your families make the determination to achieve everything within this generation. I hope that today is the day you and your families push forward and make this determination.
