Dear friends who are receiving
Heaven’s love anew: On three occasions, once on January 15 and twice on January
31, we held the historic Coronation for the New Authority of the Liberation of
God, the King of Kings, and our golden anniversary celebration. January 31 saw
one such ceremony held at the Cheon Jeong Peace Palace in Korea, representing
the East, and another held in New York City, in the United States, representing
the West. In this way, we set the record of offering this historically unprecedented
and never-to-be-repeated providential event to Heaven in two different
locations on the same day.
In the period since April, my wife
and I commemorated the fiftieth occasion of the day of our Holy Wedding. In
1960, young students on the Korean peninsula were crying out in resistance to
the dictatorship [of Korean President Seung-man Rhee]. On the sixteenth day of
the third month of the lunar calendar in that year, my wife and I received
Heaven’s seal and embarked on the arduous courses of the providence of
restoration that the True Parents, True Teachers, and True King and Queen of
humankind must take.
How could I even begin to explain
the path of the providence of restoration through indemnity that my wife and I
have had to follow for the past fifty years in order to finally bring complete
liberation and freedom to God and to attend Him as the king of kings? Many
years from now, historians will verify and record what I cannot explain at this
time.
You are probably not aware of this,
but there is profound providential significance in True Parents’ coronation and
golden wedding anniversary. Due to the Fall of humankind’s first ancestors,
God’s true lineage was lost, and history came under the dominion of Satan’s
false bloodline. I am sure you have learned about this reality through studying
the Principle.
This corrupted bloodline has been a
facet of history. Isnt it because of this that the physical world and even the
spiritual world became completely mired in antagonistic, confrontational,
good-versus-evil, Cain & Abel relationships? Nobody has been able to find a
resolution to this tragedy, and history’s problems have gone unresolved to this
day.
Times are now changing, however. The
doors to the realm of complete unity between Cain and Abel are being opened on
the occasions of True Parents’ coronation and golden wedding anniversary. We
have entered the realm of grace in which human beings can be restored to the
level of completion and perfection, where they can inherit and share the
original nature of God’s heart – in other words, to the originally intended
human state, without any trace of the Fall.
In terms of O [correct answer] and X
[incorrect answer], we have entered the new era when the good governance of
God, who is in the position of O, can completely embrace and digest, without
leaving a trace of it behind, the evil governance of Satan, who is in the
position of X. The new era is beginning in which the Kingdom of Heaven on earth
and in heaven is substantially spreading out before your very eyes.
On this occasion, which has a special
significance, my wife and I celebrated our coronation and golden wedding
anniversary and successfully held the Round Ball Peace Cup Cain-Abel Cosmic
Harmony Tournament, for thirteen days starting on April 21. One day it will
become a festival of peace for all humanity, even surpassing the Olympic Games.
The Atletico Sorocaba soccer club
from Brazil contributed greatly to this first tournament by laying aside
everything else to come here at True Parents’ invitation. Sorocaba won the FA
Cup championship in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2008. During its short time in Asia,
it played against four teams, representing North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and
China. It displayed an excellent standard of skill and demonstrated the soul of
Latin American soccer. Would you please give a warm round of applause to
encourage the Sorocaba team!
Ladies and gentlemen! I would like
to offer to Heaven this precious new ceremony by reading with you now the
message from Heaven that I proclaimed in January at the Coronation of God, the
King of Kings and thereafter at our golden anniversary celebration. Please
engrave the meaning of today’s event upon your hearts.
Citizens of God’s kingdom of Cheon
Il Guk who love peace as True Parents do!
This is truly a precious and joyful
day.
Let us all celebrate without reserve
this historic and providential day and sing praises to God, our eternal True
Parent, of His glory and nobility. On this solemn occasion, hundreds of
billions of those living in the spirit world have descended and are here with
us to congratulate and celebrate this blessed day.
This is the day God has yearned for
ever since He created the universe. For tens of thousands of years, since the
day those whom He created as His children, Adam and Eve, stained the heavenly
lineage and concealed themselves in the dark, God has waited while enduring
inexpressible pain and sorrow. He has waited impatiently for the day He could
ascend to the throne of the King of Kings, to be able to embrace His lost
children and the creation again and live in joy for all eternity in the sacred
reign of peace in the peace kingdom.
Ladies and gentlemen, God is and has
always been the King of Kings, even before He initiated the Creation. The
heavenly way, however, dictates that after completing all aspects of the
Creation, God must manifest substantially as the King of Kings who reigns over
the world of physical phenomena, the sphere of the objects of God’s love. That
is why, motivated by true love, God sought and found the True Parent of the
substantial, physical world, who was to become His representative and heir.
Although we are overwhelmed by the
grace of having received Heaven’s seal, my wife and I truly feel joy at being
able to stand here today as God’s direct representatives and hold this
coronation for the King of Kings and our golden anniversary celebration. At the
same time, I am deeply sorry before Heaven; I have reached my ninetieth year of
life, yet I have been unable to fully restore the 6.5 billion people of the
world to God.
Citizens of Cheon Il Guk who truly
love God! Time is running out. Heaven will no longer wait for us. God is
working with His authority as the King of Kings through His representatives,
the earthly True Parents, to establish a new heavenly law and restore the
world. It is time to accelerate this true love revolution. Therefore, on this
solemn occasion, I will proclaim to all of heaven and earth an outline of the
new heavenly law, by which humankind and all things of creation will regain
their rightful positions and be governed.
First, this era, which is gradually
bringing us toward the year 3000, will be the era of revolutionary change after
the coming of heaven. In this new era, God will no longer be captive to the
principles of restoration through indemnity; it will be the time when the King
of Kings rules the spiritual and physical worlds with His rightful authority.
It will be the era of providential
refuge [from evil], during which the earth will return to its original state,
with the realm of the Pacific Rim serving as a central axis.
People will no longer be beyond the
influence of the era of the new way of Heaven and of the new heavenly law.
Therefore, you must lead a transparent life with your every action being as
clear as crystal.
Second, we must accomplish a
revolution in educating all people on the value of absolute sexual ethics, that
is, on the constitution of Heaven, with God as its vertical, absolute axis.
This is the only way to pass on the true, good lineage to all humankind. That
is the path to achieving God’s ideal of true families. From now on, sexual
purity, purity of lineage, and purity of love will be the educational
philosophy of the true human race.
Third, the new peace-king
representatives (boon bong wangs), Ambassadors for Peace, and the Parent UN
will be placed at the forefront of the efforts to completely eliminate Satan’s
walls and fortifications that bind the earth in multiple layers and to
reinstate harmony and peace between political parties, religions, races,
cultures, and nations.
The existing UN (in the position of
the Cain-type UN) and the Abel-type UN should become one and elevate to a
higher dimension, becoming the True Parent UN –in other words, the UN of a
truly peaceful world. With this as the center, all evil problems confronting
the satanic world — such as war, disease, and hunger — will be resolved. This
is surely the direction all people must go. They will have no choice because
God in heaven and True Parents will be with them. Individualistic self-centeredness
as well as collective self-centeredness will be eradicated, and this will lead
to the realization of a world governed by our conscience and natural reason.
Fourth, the cross-cultural,
international blessing marriage is the optimal method of establishing true
families that will purify the lineage of the fallen human race and build the
peace kingdom. In the end, reconciliation and peace will come about through
lineage. When blacks and whites, Eastern peoples and Western peoples, Buddhists
and Christians, and Jews and Muslims intermarry and carry on the
blessed-marriage tradition that True Parents have established, this world will
naturally form the realm of one family that seeks and establishes God’s
homeland and hometown. An ideal, heavenly kingdom based on the ideal of one
family under God will come about. As we melt our guns and cannons to make
plowshares, a new world of peace will open up before us.
Fifth, God created us as His
counterparts in love, and He prepared the natural world as a gift for us, His
children. God would not leave His children to live in a barren desert devoid of
beautiful scenery. That is why all people have the duty to preserve and love
the natural world as God does. I am saying that you should develop your human
nature as it was originally meant to be, such that you experience resonance
even with a cluster of wildflowers as if you were sharing a heartfelt
conversation with them. That will be a shortcut to restoring humankind to God.
Ladies and gentlemen who have been
chosen by Heaven! You have all truly received a heavenly blessing. You are
participating in the ceremony to launch the providential undertakings governed
by the King of Kings. You are witnessing with your own eyes the whirlwind of
this historic transition point. You received an invitation to attend the
coronation, golden anniversary, and celebration of the autobiography of the
True Parent, the king of kings on the horizontal level, who will govern all of
creation as the physical representative of God, the King of Kings on the
vertical level. Will you ever again, in your lifetime, have the chance to
attend such a historic and significant occasion? Your ancestors, numbering in
the billions throughout the cosmos, and your descendants will cheer, dance, and
live in joy and delight at this time, shaking the very axis of the earth.
I pray that you will open your
mind’s eyes and engrave this extraordinary and historic moment on your souls.
When else during your life will you be able to witness such a day of blessing and
glory as you have today? I hope that you can heed the words of Heaven that I
have shared with you today and use them as guidelines for your lives from now
on.
Ladies and gentlemen who have been
chosen by Heaven! I am sure you all feel this from the message I have just
read, but humankind is entering a new providential era wherein the earth will
be governed directly by a new heavenly way and new heavenly law. It is the new,
providential era of the realm of the fourth and original Adam, when no one can enter
the new Kingdom of Heaven without inheriting God’s new standard of heart based
on His original nature.
Through True Parents’ providential
coronation, golden wedding anniversary, publication celebration, and the
commemoration of the fifty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Holy Spirit
Association in this new era, I pray that you may form wise and new families of
citizens in God’s Kingdom, Cheon Il Guk — families whose members clearly
distinguish between Cain and Abel in their lives, who integrate them into a new
realm of Abel, placing goodness at its center, and who restore the realm of the
three eras of the Old, New, and Completed Testament ages and the three
generations of my family.
I am asking you to form, and live
as, new true families based on original human nature through which the new true
grandparents, true parents, and true grandchildren can enter, hand in hand,
into the new Kingdom of Heaven. Please engrave on your hearts the meaning of
this gathering to establish the truly peaceful world of the True Parent UN,
which we are celebrating today.
I pray and proclaim in the names of
the victorious True God and True Parents that the new authority of the great
blessing of the true God, the King of Kings of all nations, can flow abundantly
into your new families, new nations, and throughout the new cosmos.
May God’s blessings fill the entire
cosmos.
Thank you very much.
