Family Federation for World Peace and Unification(Hereafter referred to as Family Federation) held Dr. Hak Ja Han’s Japan Speaking Tour Welcoming Rally at Cheongshim Peace World Center in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province at 10:30 AM on the 27th (Sunday) with a crowd of 20,000 people. 40 imams from the Middle East and about 3,000 church members from Japan and other countries joined the rally.

This event was held to celebrate the successful Japan speaking tour by Dr. Han, who visited Japan for the first time after the 1st Memorial Service for Reverend Sun Myung Moon to commemorate the 55th anniversary of Japanese mission. President Han successfully completed the speaking tour that was held in 5 large cities in Japan and attracted about 40,000 people starting with Hokkaido Rally in Sapporo on October 14th, and continued with Metropolitan Area Rally in Saitama on the 16th, Central Area Rally in Nagoya on the 16th, Jousinezu Rally in Nagano on the 20th, and Western Japan Rally in Kobe on the 22nd.

On this day, Dr. Hak Ja Han emphasized, "Korea’s calling of becoming Father Nation is very important. After creating the ancestors of humans, Adam and Eve, God gave them a responsibility. The responsibility was to wait until the time comes. But they did not fulfill their responsibility and they were expelled from the Garden of Eden. If you do not fulfill your responsibility, you are relieved of the responsibility. 1st Israel and 2nd Israel did not fulfill their responsibilities. Korea was blessed as the 3rd Israel. Blessing is a position given when you fulfill Heaven’s responsibility. We appointed a second generation leader, Kyung Suk Yu as Korean President. He will be one of important leaders until we practice what we believe in by becoming one with True Parents. All of first generation, young second generation, and third generation members should fulfill their responsibilities. Korea and Japan that fulfilled their responsibilities will become one and create world peace beyond Asia. Let’s bring forward the day of victory before 2020.”

Before the ceremony, a creative dance called ‘We are one’ was performed by about 60 college students, and with the chorus called ‘The way to go, Unification march song’ by Seonghwa student choir consisting of about 120 second generation and third generation middle and high school students, all generations made a resolution to achieve Vision 2020.

On the 26th, the event started with Kyung Suk Yu, who became Korean President for the first time as a second generation Family Federation member, as the MC. After Korean President of UPF, Jung Ro Yun led a reporting prayer, Chairman of Japanese National Blessed Families Association; Yong Cheon Song made a report on the speaking tour. Chairman Song said, "During this speaking tour, on the day before the Metropolitan Area Rally, the 26th typhoon of this year, Wipha, which was the strongest in 10 years, passed the area. However, even the typhoon couldn’t stop the rally and about 20,000 people came to the rally, which was completed like a miracle. Political leaders and dignitaries who participated in the rally said, ‘It is a miracle that the rally succeeded despite the typhoon. Unification Church members’ fearsome passion is amazing.’ People changing, that is a miracle. Through President Han’s Japanese speaking tour, Japan has changed, and it is a history of miracle" and he added "Let’s move forward strongly to achieve not only Vision 2020 but also unification of Korean peninsula and become the driving force for the creation of Cheon Il Guk by Korea, the Father Nation, and Japan, the Mother Nation, which has achieved a miracle through this speaking tour, becoming one.” After the report, a video of Japan speaking tour was played and Dr. Hak Ja Han made a speech. And the event ended with Chairman of Tongil Group, No Hi Park’s three cheers.

It was resolved to make opportunities for Korea and Japan to become one with one heart by overcoming the history and work for world peace beyond Asia through this event.

The panorama view of the Welcoming Rally in Korea attended by 20,000 people

The Welcoming Rally for the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind from the Victorious Speaking Tour in Japan’ gathered approximately 20,000 people at the Cheong Pyung Peace World Center in Cheong Pyung, Korea on October 27th, 2013. True Mother gave a substantial speech and introduced the new president of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) in Korea.

The rally, broadcast to 194 nations via the Internet, celebrated True Mother’s return to Korea after the victory of the revival rallies in Japan that opened the proper path for the Japanese people. The participants of the revival rallies were able to reach a determination to bring victory for Vision 2020 through inheriting True Parents’ blessing and victorious authority.

Hak Ja Han:

True Mother: "Heaven's Providence keeps developing."

“It is almost at the end of the year, and I’m happy to see the nature turning into beautiful colors in the season of harvest. But it is also the cold season that makes you adjust your clothes in the morning and night.

“Beloved blessed families all around the world, peace ambassadors and VIPs, I appreciate you, our hopes, the blessed children second-, third- and fourth generations, and I wish you all good health. It is nice to see you.

“Heaven’s providence keeps developing. The mission that Japan has as a mother nation is important, but today I want to talk about the mission that Korea has as a father nation. In the beginning of the universe, God created all things including Adam and Eve, and He had hope.

“God gave the first human beings the responsibility [to obey the commandment not to eat of the fruit] which meant they should wait until God would say, ‘it is the right time.’ But what was the result? Adam and Eve disobeyed God and were thrown out of the Garden of Eden. Then, humankind connected to a false parent’s blood linage, that of Satan, and built a fallen world.

“In the fallen world, the chief hope of humankind has been to return to the Heavenly parent.’ But there was no one who knew the providence. Heaven couldn’t wait for the unenlightened people. So, Heaven raised the chosen nation, Israel, and put forth the idea of the Messiah. Heaven raised the world 4,000 years. Then Heaven fulfilled its promise to humankind. Even though people are enlightened, if they know the Divine Principle they will understand the providence.

Mr. Eiji Tokuno and Mr. Yong Cheon Song offered appreciation plaque and memorial tablet to True Mother.

“Zachariah’s family, Joseph’s family and Mary couldn’t fulfill their responsibility. Jesus was supposed to be the True Parent. He had responsibility to give re-birth and to reverse the Satanic world to the Heavenly world. And the people who should have made that proper environment were the Jews, Zachariah, Joseph and Mary. How could they let Jesus be born in a manger? Why did Jesus need to live such a short life when the Israelites waited for 4,000 years? You probably know what kind of indemnity they paid on this big mistake through history. The foundation of Christianity was built upon Jesus’ resurrection and the grace of the sprits. This foundation moved through Europe to Britain. That was the time that Britain extended its territory globally, so that [in time] people said ‘the Sun never set on the British Empire.’

The Welcoming Rally for the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind from the Victorious Speaking Tour in Japan finished with three cheers of Eok Mansei.

“But for fallen humankind, it is so hard to identify Satan. Despite their laws, people fell into corruption. In the 17th century, King James of Britain translated the Bible into English and spread the Word. And Protestants headed to America to find their religious freedom. America was born from Britain that had the [providential] role as the mother nation, and America took on the elder son’s position. Heaven blessed the United States, but the nation did not live up to Heaven’s expectation. God raised the United States in only 200 years to become a powerful nation that could guide the world. The institution of the family in the United States has fallen, and on every level, ideologically and politically, the culture has become decadent. True Parents asked the United States to live up to the vision of the Puritan founders [who followed God’s calling] ‘True Parents came as a firefighter because United States had fallen. True Parents came as a doctor because the families in the United States were ill.’ True Parents shed blood, sweat and tears in the United States for the World providence for 34 years.

“Heaven’s providence can’t rest. The chosen nations in the Satanic world that were supposed to fulfill their responsibility as Mother Nations couldn’t fulfill their responsibility. First, Israel couldn’t fulfill its responsibility and second, Britain, as a Christian nation, couldn’t fulfill its responsibility. Where is the third Israel, then? Korea was blessed. by True Parents.

“The thing I want to tell you today is that I wish the politicians or the people in this nation can become leaders that can fulfill their responsibilities to Heaven’s providence. All people and all the politicians can stand on the position that can take responsibility only when they serve True Parents. So, I gave Japan the blessing to be rich. Korea is not an exception. I wish you all to be rich. When you save people through True Parents, you will be rich on earth and in the eternal world [spirit world]. That is the way you become rich. I am certain of this. So, I appointed the second-generation Unificationist, Mr. Lu, as the president. Did I go a good job?

The 60 CARP members performed a creative dance called “the people who used to be united.”

“So, what do you think we should do? Humans can live maybe 100 years. But please keep in mind, when we inherit True Parents’ will and act up to Principle, then we will stand on the position that we could be leaders, blessed and loved in the eternal world.

“Even though you are first generation, are you going to give the responsibilities that you can fulfill to the second- and third generation? You need to fulfill your responsibilities as well. That’s why we are full of hope and happy people.

“It depends on how you act and practice. There will be lots of people who will be saved by you. In a world that can embrace Asia and the world centered on God, this world will be united and have freedom, peace and full happiness. Laws will be of no use. There will be no need of lawyers and judges. We need to bring all seven billion people to participate in a happy world – a world of peace, freedom, unity, and happiness – through introducing and educating people about True Parents. Only that path will lead you to become proud leaders of Unification Blessed Families. Will all of you do that? Please be determined to bring the victorious vision 2020 earlier than predicted for the year of 2020. I ask you to do that.”

Mr. Kyeng Seuk Lu, the newly appointed president of Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU)- Korea, served as emcee. The order of events was as follows: opening ceremony; Cheon Il Guk anthem; report prayer by Mr. Jeong Lo Yoon, the president of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF)- Korea; a special report on the rallies by Mr. Yong Cheon Song, the chairman of Blessed Family Federation of Japan; a video about the rallies; a congratulatory performance by Reiko Sakai; entrance of True Parents; presenting flowers; presenting appreciation plaques; bestowal of written appointments to Dr. Chang Shik Yang and President Kyeng Seuk Lu; three cheers of Eok Mansei; closing Ceremony.

Before the opening ceremony 60 Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP) members performed a creative dance called “the people who used to be united”, and 120 young Unificationists performed as a choir and uplifted the atmosphere.

Before the event, President Kyeng Seuk Lu, the newly anointed 16th president of FFWPU-Korea, said, “Following True Mother during her Japan Rallies, she has led us to be re-born and to be re-determined that ‘with Heavenly Parent and True Parents there is nothing that we can’t accomplish.’ Let’s connect the dreams of our Heavenly Parent and True Parents with our own and furthermore let’s make this dream be the world’s dream beyond the Unification Family and Korea.

Mr. Jeong Lo Yoon gave a report prayer in which he said, “The Rally for the 55th Anniversary for the Arrival of Missionaries around Japan was the big blessing from True Parents. All the Japanese members responded with tears of appreciation. Let’s unite into one – all first-, second- and third generation and establish the victorious vision 2020 through inheriting True Parents’ expectation.”

A choir of 120 Unificationist youth performed before the opening ceremony.

Mr. Yong Cheon Song gave the special report about “The Revival Rallies for the 55th Anniversary of the Arrival of Missionaries in Japan” that was held in Sapporo, Saitama, Nagoya, Nagano and Kobe. He said, “Unification church families and all the blessed families, let’s establish the eternal peaceful world just like True Mother said.”

Mr. Yong Cheon Song and Mr. Eiji Tokuno offered the appreciation plaque and the memorial tablet to True Mother as representatives of the Japanese church members.

True Mother bestowed written appointments to Dr. Chang Shik Yang, new international chairman of the Universal Peace Federation, and President Kyeng Seuk Lu, new president of FFWPU-Korea.

True Mother was welcomed to the podium with the warm applause by 20,000 participants.

After True Mother’s speech, the event successfully finished with three cheers of Eok Mansei with the determination to establish victorious Vision 2020.

For the establishment of the Ideal Peace of Cheon Il Guk era the ‘Welcoming Rally for the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind from the Victorious Speaking Tour in Japan’ was held on 9. 23 by the heavenly calendar, 1st year of Cheon Il Guk (solar: Oct.27) at 10:30 am at CheongShim Peace World Center with around 20,000 members attending from around the world. True Mother who was welcomed onto the stage by great round of an applause gave specific instructions on our mission for this history for the providence of restoration. (Speech provided by Korean Family Federation Homepage, partially edited by the Planning and Education Team in Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center)

It is nice to see the beautiful nature that is changing its color in beautiful autumn colors which also symbolizes the end of a year. But now the temperature is very cold in the morning and evening.

Most beloved blessed families, peace ambassadors and distinguished guests. I am deeply grateful to the blessed children of 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation who are the hope of our future and I also wish that all blessed families around the world are happy and healthy. It is truly great to see you today.

Heaven’s providential history continuously developed without a rest. I would like to talk about a mission; Japan’s mission as the mother nation is also very important but let’s talk about Korea’s mission, the mission as the father nation.

In the beginning, God created heaven, earth and all things and Adam and Eve with great hope. At that time God gave responsibility to his human beings. That responsibility was to wait until God said, ‘It is time’. However, what happened? Adam and Eve were exiled from the Garden of Eden by God. From then, humanity became children of Satan with a direct lineage connection. Humanity became the false children born from the false parent, Satan. Thus, creating a fallen world.

The hope for humanity living in a fallen world was how to come forth in front of heavenly parent. However, no one knew about the providential history. Heaven could not wait for ignorant human beings. So He cultivated the chosen nation Israel and instilled the Messiah ideology and prepared for 4000 years. Then, heaven made its promise. This is something that you would naturally understand after reading the principle.

In conclusion, Zachariah family, Joseph family and Maria couldn’t fulfill their responsibility. Jesus had to become the True Parents. And fulfill his responsibility of changing the Satanic world to heaven’s side. It was the Jewish people, Zachariah family, Joseph family and Maria who had to prepare such environment. Why do you think the Messiah (sent by God) was born in a stable? Why did he have to end his short life in front of the people of Israel whom God waited for 4000 years? You probably know the indemnity to compensate this great ordeal through the history. Through the resurrection of Jesus and the grace of the Holy Spirit the foundation of Christianity began to be made. This foundation went to England after going through Europe. Back then, England was known as a nation where the sun never sinks, a nation which was spreading its power throughout the world through the sea.

However, it is very difficult for human beings to separate Satan. Human beings fell due to the law and rules which was created by themselves. In the 17th Century, King James translated the bible into English and Protestant which pursuits new faith and freedom went to the American continent. In the first born son position who was born in England. England which had to fulfill its responsibility as the mother nation. Heaven blessed America. However, it could not return anything back to heaven. It was brought up to be the great nation after 200 years to lead the world; however, America’s families fell, ideal, government and generally its culture morally decayed. At that time, True Parents said, “I came here as a firefighter because of the fallen families of America. The families of America are getting sick so that is why I am here to cure them!” and emphasized to all to go back to their ‘original heart’. That is why True Parents shed blood sweat and tears for 34 years in America for the completion of world providence.

However, heaven’s providence cannot take a rest. The nation which was selected as the mother nation could not fulfill its responsibility as the 1st Israel. England which also had to fulfill its role as the 2nd nation centering on the realm of Christianity could not fulfill its responsibility. Where is the 3rd Israel nation? Korea received the blessing. It received the blessing through True Parents.

What I want to tell you is that, I truly wish for the politicians and people who have great responsibility for this nation could fulfill their responsibility as leaders and lead this nation in heaven’s providence. In conclusion, when all the people of this nation and the politicians accept True Parents they can, for the first time, stand in the position of fulfilling their true responsibility. That is why I told the Japanese members to be wealthy. Korea is not an exception. Let us all be wealthy! The path for you to be wealthy is through saving many lives through True Parents and so you shall be wealthy not just on earth but in the spirit world as well. I believe this. This time, I assigned President Yu, a 2nd generation as the president for Korea. Isn’t this good? I probably think you have the same heart as mine. The time left on earth is much shorter than the time spent on earth.

So what should we do? It doesn’t matter what we do we can only live for 100 years on earth. However, when we inherit the Will of True Parents and practice it in our life then please remember that you will be put in a position where you can receive blessings in the eternal world, receive love and become the central figures. Just because you are a 1st generation are you going to give all of your responsibility which you could fulfill to the 2nd and 3rd generations? You also have to fulfill your responsibility. That is why we are hopeful and happy people.

When the lives save by you becomes large after you practice and take actions, this world can be a world that can embrace Asia and the world, an unified world centering on God, a world full of freedom, peace, unification and happiness. In that world the general law does not apply. It is a world where judges and lawyers mean nothing. We have to introduce and educate the 7 billion people of the world so that they could join in that happy world. That is the path for the blessed families and leaders of the unification family to go forth. Please have a heart that you will accomplish this victorious future before the vision year 2020. I would like to ask of you to fulfill your responsibility and end my speech.

True Mother Concludes Japanese Revival Rallies in Kobe

One of the topics True Mother expanded upon was the course of providential history.

The final stop of ‘The Rally for the 55th Anniversary of the Arrival of Missionaries in Japan – West Japan’ was held at the Kobe World Memorial Hall in Kobe, Japan on October 22, 2013 with 6,500 participants including blessed families, church members, peace ambassadors and community leaders in attendance.

The last stop of True Mother’s Revival Rallies in Japan finished at Kobe, Japan, at which 6,500 came to listen to her speech.

True Mother knew that this event was being broadcast throughout Japan and around the world, so she included global topics, as well as covering her main message about Japan’s role as the ‘Mother nation’ to the other countries of the world. She encouraged all participants to be grateful to God, our Heavenly Parent, and to True Parents who prepared for this event with behind-the-scene prayers. She also reminded everyone to remember and appreciate the efforts and the sincerity of elder members and people who worked in the field to make the foundation for the current [Unificationist] church in Japan. “We need to remember that through True Parents special blessing we now have 40,000 rising ‘stars’, in the secondand third-generation of Unificationists in Japan,” she said.

She explained God’s long course to find the True Parents and talked about God’s sorrowful heart and suffering in the course of the history of restoration to restore the fallen humankind. “The cause of God’s sorrowful heart is that humankind didn’t follow God’s words and instead connected to Satan’s blood linage,” she said. “The Messiah is the person who reveals the Truth of God and spreads goodness and becomes True Parents in order to realize God’s wish — to become one with humankind.”

True Mother and church leaders wave flags and cheer during the finale of her speaking tour.

True Mother also elaborated on God’s 4,000 years of history of sorrowful heart and suffering He endured before sending the Messiah to Israel to save humankind. She also solemnly explained that Jesus’ crucifixion was a result of the people of Israel’s inability to create a proper environment to serve Jesus.

After Jesus’ crucifixion, providential history centered on Christianity. She explained the reason why the dispensation moved from Rome to Europe and then from Great Britain to the United States. The reason God gave the blessing to those nations was to establish God’s sovereignty together with the Second Coming of the Lord. He bestowed the blessing not only for the nation’s own sake but for all people. “This is why it is so important to know God’s heart and providence,” she said.

True Mother especially emphasized that Japan received the mission and blessing after Great Britain and the United States in order to become unified with those nations, centered on Heavenly Parent and to meet the Messiah, to embrace the world and to live for sake of the world and to love the world.

More than 6,500 participants at the Kobe World Memorial Hall cheer with flags after the conclusion of True Mother’s speech.

The reason for God’s blessing moving from one nation to another was because the original nation did not understand the restoration providence and fell into selfishness, nationalism, ideological chaos and higher incidence of dysfunctional families. True Mother listed Great Britain and the United States as examples of nations from which God’s blessing was transferred. She pointed out that those nations did not keep their promises to God. She also said, “As a result, if a person or nation makes themselves distant from God’s providence, it causes all sorts of problems.” Then she explained the history of the Lord of the Second Advent becoming the True Parents. She emphasized that salvation history can only conclude when True Parents appear and that True Parents have the responsibility to teach ”how to live in order to unite with God.”

She explained that True Parents made indemnity conditions to establish God’s sovereignty on a spiritualand physical level. True Parents and God were able to give the blessing to establish Korea as the father nation and Japan as the mother nation.

True Mother added, “When the father and mother are united, the family is harmonious. Just like that, the father [nation] and mother [nation] should become one and bring fallen children in the world to True Parents. Through this we need to find the hometown that God wished for. Where is that hometown? It’s True Parents’ hometown. So, Japan and Korea should work on the unification of Korea with one heart. This is the only way that Korea and Japan can become the center of the whole world community of seven billion people. And it’s the way to find and fix the difficult problems of all humanity.”

She finished her speech with a request: “Japanese blessed families and church members please spread God’s words and blessing and unite with True Parents so Japan can be honored and loved by other nations.”

After the speech the some honored guests presented a gift to True Mother. The rally successfully finished with three cheers of Eok Mansei led by Mr. Young Oon Seo, leader of district nine.

True Mother Travels to Central Japan for Speaking Tour

True Mother made a stop at Port Messe, Nagoya in Central Japan on October 18th, as part of the continuation of “The Rally for the 55th Anniversary of the Arrival of Missionaries in Japan.”

A warm applause of 7,000 people, including blessed families, peace ambassadors, influential locals, and several members of the House of Representatives welcomed True Mother at the rally. At the start of the event the participants waved the flags for the Family Federation for Word Peace and Unification (FFWPU) and the Unification Church symbol.

During the speech, True Mother said, “Whenever I come to Nagoya, I always feel right at home.” She then explained Japan’s providential mission as a mother nation. She talked about the elder members in Japan in the early days, mentioning some of the elders by name, such as Michiko Matsumoto, Haruko Gannari, Nobuko Hayasi, etc. It was their absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience that made the foundation of current Japan Unification Church, she explained. “We should give them a big applause with a thankful heart,” True Mother said. She explained the sorrow and suffering of the Heavenly Parent during the 6,000 years of providential history of restoration to save the fallen humankind in world history. She emphasized that God’s blessing for Great Britain and the United States had come back to Japan. This is the reason why Heavenly Parent gave the important mission to the parent nations [of Korea and Japan] of preparing the world to meet the Messiah and to encounter the profound love of the Heavenly Parent.

True Mother also asked the Japanese people, especially their leaders, to expand their horizons so that their eyes can fully see the world. She observed that the people who can make that happen are the blessed families, church members, and the second- and third generation. She called upon the 600,000 blessed families in Japan to take on a role in the front lines of international society.

She concluded her speech by asking members to become filial, devoted sons and daughters who can liberate Heavenly Parent and make Heavenly Parent and mankind happy through witnessing. Which means bringing new life and opening the way to becoming eternally rich.

After True Mother’s talk, the event concluded with three cheers of Eok Mansei led by Mr. Kunihiko Yasii, the leader of district seven.
