Wow, it feels like we’ve been studying for a very long time, especially with the Chuseok holiday break included. Today, we reach the final session of the True Parents' Life Course, and I am truly grateful to all the members who have joined us in real-time until this very last moment. As we proceed with today's lecture, I hope that, just as we prayed, this will be a time for us to learn about the True Parents' life once again and inherit their heart so we can practice it in our own lives. Now, regarding the True Parents' Life Course, I originally planned to do a review of the previous session. However, as I prepared and practiced presenting this time, I found it wasn't easy to keep within the time limit, so we will skip the review today and move directly to the 78th lecture. Looking at the lecture outline provided by Vice President Kim Dong-hyun, we have covered all the sections marked in yellow so far. In terms of the number of lectures, we have conducted about nine sessions. Today, we will cover the section marked in orange, which is the True Parents' Providence, Part 2: the 3rd Seven-Year Course. Following that, we have the remaining lectures on the establishment of God’s Kingship, the preparation for the era of Cheon Il Guk, the Vision 2020 providence, and finally, the ultimate achievement. We have already looked at the life course from the birth of True Father and True Mother up until 1981. But today, covering the providence from 1981 to 2025 and 2026—a span of 60 years—in just two hours is truly not easy. Still, I will proceed with the prepared material in an orderly and calm manner, so I hope we can focus and go through it together. True Father was born as the Second Advent Messiah in 1920 and began his official course in 1945. However, unfortunately, as the mainstream Christian denominations and the government in South and North Korea did not believe in him, True Father had to pay indemnity to restart the providence of the Second Advent. That was the beginning of the official course to welcome the Only Begotten Daughter, which we learned about in our previous session. You see, the Second Advent Messiah comes to become the True Parents. Since he comes to become the True Parent, and he must welcome the Only Begotten Daughter to do so, True Father prepared the official course to meet her. So, when that course was frustrated at the start of the providence, he went to Daedong Security Office and also endured the ordeal of Heungnam Prison, ultimately making a fresh start in 1950, which was truly miserable. Starting from Busan where there was nothing, he lived a life that could be called wretched, but despite that, starting from a worker's dormitory, he built a mud hut and wrote the Original Principle there. As many people began to be converted, the church that was pioneered began under the name of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, yes, the Unification Church. We saw through the 78th lecture by Vice President Kim Dong-hyun how True Parents, while sending out disciples for missionary work to establish 120 churches to welcome the Only Begotten Daughter, fulfilled the conditional foundation of having both a religious and national base, and thus welcomed the Only Begotten Daughter to become True Parents. And now, in the 10th lecture, starting from the year 1960, we walk through the three 7-year courses in total until 1981. Regarding the content, True Parents were originally supposed to start from a higher position having a Christian and national foundation, but since they couldn't and had to start from the very beginning, after True Parents were wed, time was needed to re-establish the family, tribal, and national foundations. That was the first 7-year course. Then, the 7-year course to establish the national foundation. And from the 1970s, True Parents began to carry out much of the providence in the United States. So, from 1974 onwards, they began the American providence in earnest, and we learned through the third 7-year course about the content of how they prepared the providence to make the world one through America. At that time, in order to welcome the position of the world-level restoration providence, they established in America a standard that could truly be said to have restored the United States. Through three stages—the Madison Square Garden rally, the Yankee Stadium rally, and the Washington Monument rally—they established the providential condition of having reached the world level, and then starting from 1982, they walked the second set of three 7-year official courses. So, that content passes by very quickly. It comes out just like this, zoom. I will explain the content from 1981 to 2025 quite rapidly, so I hope you will listen with close attention. In this session, we will look at the second set of three 7-year courses that began in 1981. Therefore, True Parents established this global-level restoration standard, declared the era of children's responsibility, and entrusted that responsibility to their children, enabling the providence of True Parents to fulfill the global four-position foundation. Thus, to restore the substantial rights of the eldest son, the parental rights, and the kingship on a global level, True Parents met with President Gorbachev of the Soviet Union. They also met with President Kim Il-sung and proceeded with the providence of serving God as the actual King. The substantial reality is important, after all. Creating a peaceful world on this Earth is one of the missions of True Parents. That is why there is an expression in True Parents' words called "step-by-step Messianic awakening." They also sometimes expressed that awakening as "confidence." This means that True Parents carried out the providence until they reached a stage where anyone could acknowledge that a global four-position foundation had truly been achieved, a stage where they themselves could be confident. The goal of the first seven-year course was a meeting with Soviet President Gorbachev. They were to declare the "Day of the First Victory" here. True Father began his official course in 1945. Even though the providential course was frustrated then, he completed the subsequent 40 years well, so he declared this completion as the "Day of the First Victory." They also founded the Inter-Religious and International Federation for World Peace, which became the most successful organization established in South Korea. With over 10 million members secured, they used this to launch the movement for the unification of North and South Korea. And in 1988, they proclaimed the opening of the era of the Global Unification Kingdom. The reason they could proclaim this was because the 1988 Olympics were held in Korea and were a success. Originally, the Olympics began in ancient Greece as a way to prevent wars between city-states like Athens by substituting sports for war. So, while the Olympics are a symbol of peace, they could not properly fulfill that role during the Cold War. Four years before the '88 Olympics, when the Olympics were held in the U.S., no communist countries attended. Conversely, when the Olympics were held in a communist country, no democratic nations attended; such incomplete Olympics existed during the Cold War. Even though the Cold War had not yet ended, when it was announced that the 1988 Olympics would be held in South Korea, the Soviet Union expressed its intent to participate, which led to all communist and democratic nations joining together, making the '88 Olympics a symbol of peace with 160 countries. Actually, because South Korea was such a poor country at the time, many thought it wouldn't be chosen to host the Olympics, but I often think that the True Parents must have played an invisible role because they had a base in the United States. So, regarding these events, the True Parents welcomed all the young people who came. When the athletes arrived, they would watch every game to the end, and befo
Speaker A
real-time until this very last moment. As we proceed with today's lecture, I hope that, just as we prayed, this will be a time for us to learn about the True Parents' life once again and inherit their heart so we can practice
Speaker A
it in our own lives. Now, regarding the True Parents 'Life Course, I originally planned to do a review of the previous session. However, as I prepared and practiced presenting this time, I found it wasn't easy to keep within the time
Speaker A
limit, so we will skip the review today and move directly to the 78th lecture.
Speaker A
Looking at the lecture outline provided by Vice President Kim Dong-hyun, we have covered all the sections marked in yellow so far. In terms of the number of lectures, we have conducted about nine sessions. Today, we will cover the
Speaker A
section marked in orange, which is the True Parents' Providence, Part 2: the 3rd Seven-Year Course. Following that, we have the remaining lectures on the establishment of God’s Kingship, the preparation for the era of Cheon Il Guk , the Vision 2020 providence, and
Speaker A
finally, the ultimate achievement. We have already looked at the life course from the birth of True Father and True Mother up until 1981. But today, covering the providence from 1981 to 2025 and 2026—a span of 60 years—in just two hours is truly not easy. Still
Speaker A
, I will proceed with the prepared material in an orderly and calm manner, so I hope we can focus and go through it together. True Father was born as the Second Advent Messiah in 1920 and began his official course in 1945.
Speaker A
However, unfortunately, as the mainstream Christian denominations and the government in South and North Korea did not believe in him, True Father had to pay indemnity to restart the providence of the Second Advent. That was the beginning of the official
Speaker A
course to welcome the Only Begotten Daughter, which we learned about in our previous session. You see, the Second Advent Messiah comes to become the True Parents. Since he comes to become the True Parent, and he must welcome the
Speaker A
Only Begotten Daughter to do so, True Father prepared the official course to meet her. So, when that course was frustrated at the start of the providence, He went to Daedong Security Office and also endured the ordeal of Heungnam Prison, ultimately making a

10th lecture, starting from the year 1960. We walk through the three 7-year courses in total until 1981. Regarding the content, True Parents were originally supposed to start from a higher position having a Christian and national foundation, but since they

Speaker A
look at the second set of three 7-year courses that began in 1981. Therefore, True Parents established this global-level restoration standard, declared the era of children's responsibility, and entrusted that responsibility to their children, enabling the providence of True Parents
Speaker A
to fulfill the global four-position foundation. Thus, to restore the substantial rights of the eldest son, the parental rights, and the kingship on a global level, True Parents met with President Gorbachev of the Soviet Union. They also met with President Kim
Speaker A
Il-sung and proceeded with the providence of serving God as the actual King. The substantial reality is important, after all. Creating a peaceful world on this Earth is one of the missions of True Parents. That is why there is an expression in True
Speaker A

Speaker A
established in South Korea. With over 10 million members secured, they used this to launch the movement for the unification of North and South Korea.
Speaker A
And in 1988, they proclaimed the opening of the era of the Global Unification Kingdom. The reason they could proclaim this was because the 1988 Olympics were held in Korea and were a success. Originally, the Olympics began in ancient Greece as a
Speaker A
way to prevent wars between city-states like Athens by substituting sports for war. So, while the Olympics are a symbol of peace, they could not properly fulfill that role during the Cold War. Four years before the '88 Olympics, when the Olympics were held
Speaker A
in the U.S., no communist countries attended. Conversely, when the Olympics were held in a communist country, no democratic nations attended; such incomplete Olympics existed during the Cold War. Even though the Cold War had not yet ended, when it was announced
Speaker A
that the 1988 Olympics would be held in South Korea, the Soviet Union expressed its intent to participate, which led to all communist and democratic nations joining together, making the '88 Olympics a symbol of peace with 160 countries. Actually, because South
Speaker A
Korea was such a poor country at the time, many thought it wouldn't be chosen to host the Olympics, but I often think that the True Parents must have played an invisible role because they had a base in the United States.
Speaker A
So, regarding these events, the True Parents welcomed all the young people who came. When the athletes arrived, they would watch every game to the end, and before the athletes returned home, they would invite them to Hannam-dong to host parties for them. They provided
Speaker A
Ilhwa’s McCol and ginseng products in unlimited amounts, and there are even stories about how they bought them parkas because it was the winter season . By caring even for the athletes from communist countries, the True Parents declared the "World Unification Nation
Speaker A
Opening," based on the fact that the entire world had been united through the Olympics held in Korea, the suzerain state of providence. After that, they made a declaration to organize the spirit world, stating that the cosmic elder sonship had been
Speaker A
restored. If you look closely at the True Parents' providence, you can see it. They first organize the spirit world and then achieve the corresponding tangible results on earth . Indeed, one year after the declaration of the restoration of the
Speaker A
cosmic elder sonship, a meeting took place where they met with Gorbachev, the President of the Soviet Union. Yes.
Speaker A
At the time, there was a strategy called "Mutually Assured Destruction" due to the Cold War state. It is said that at that time, the U.S. and the Soviet Union combined had 20,000 nuclear weapons. The U.S. had about 8,000. The Soviet Union is said to have
Speaker A
had about 12,000. The "Mutually Assured Destruction" strategy was established on the premise that if any country fired even one nuclear missile, they would pour all their nuclear missiles on the other. That is why the state of tense confrontation and the arms race
Speaker A
during the Cold War is described as the "Cold War." So, it is said that there were actually 150 near-nuclear war incidents during the 50-year Cold War.
Speaker A
And these 20,000 nuclear weapons are a significant number. It is said to be enough to destroy the Earth 50 times over. If a nuclear war had broken out even once, the creatures and people on this Earth might have faced extinction.
Speaker A
Realizing the gravity of this, True Parents carried out a providence to decisively end the Cold War, which is the Victory Over Communism movement they prepared starting from the first three seven-year courses. Regarding this movement, there are the Democratic
Speaker A
and Republican parties in the United States. True Parents decided to support President Reagan, who represented the conservative will to fight strongly against communism. After President Reagan took office, they advanced the providence in a direction that would allow the United States to completely
Speaker A
dismantle communism. It is said that they provided a great deal of support. In particular, it was media support.
Speaker A
Although President Reagan was elected as a Republican, there was a great deal of opposition against him, so they utilized The Washington Times. Even so, they engaged in these activities because for the democratic world centered on the US to survive, absorb
Speaker A
communism, and achieve unification, the Kingdom of God must be established. President Reagan himself later came to a Washington Times anniversary ceremony and gave a testimony about this. Let's watch a video about this together.
Speaker A
Yes. It is the providence of True Parents, who played a truly significant role in ending the Cold War through such efforts. They also actually met with President Gorbachev. In 1990. When they met, they made three proposals.
Speaker A
First, to grant freedom of religion in the Soviet Union. They stated that one must serve God in order to achieve a world of peace. And as a future generation education proposal, they asked for three elite Soviet university students to be sent to them. They said
Speaker A
they would educate them, and indeed, three Soviet students came to the US and received democratic education. They also received education in the Divine Principle. They also proposed establishing diplomatic ties with Korea , which led to the ROK-USSR summit
Speaker A
during the presidency of Roh Tae-woo, resulting in the formal establishment of diplomatic relations; this was part of True Parents 'providence. One year after True Parents met with Gorbachev, the Soviet Union was dissolved. It seems that True Parents had already
Speaker A
foreseen these events. It is said that when they left the Kremlin after meeting President Gorbachev, they said the following. The Soviet Union will collapse within a year or two. But if they were to collapse like that, there is no telling what unpredictable
Speaker A
actions the last remaining communist state, North Korea, might take. That is why it is said that he insisted he must meet Kim Il-sung before 1991 came to an end. In light of that, True Parents actually went on to meet President Kim
Speaker A
Il-sung in December of 1991. Thus, it is interpreted as a providence to substantively restore the parental realm. What do they call Kim Il-sung in North Korea? They refer to him as the " Great Leader" or "Fatherly Leader."" Fatherly" means "parent." It’s an
Speaker A
expression like "Parent Leader," and when we learn through the Principle, that kind of nation is actually the Cheon Il Guk we desire. When we speak of Cheon Il Guk as a nation where we truly embrace the True Parents as the
Speaker A
heads of state, aligning ourselves through their words, living for each other, and loving one another— Satan’s activities, though unprincipled, take on a principled form . So, in North Korea, they established the nation by serving Kim Il-sung as the "Fatherly Leader." True Parents
Speaker A
proceeded with a providence to bring Kim Il-sung, who held the position of " Fatherly Leader," down to the level of a brother, establishing a sibling relationship with him. Let’s take a look at those details. Um. Ah, here are
Speaker A
the details. In North Korea, Kim Il-sung is called "Father" and occupies the parental position; therefore, having restored and subdued the elder son's right, True Father proceeded to naturally subdue Kim Il-sung with love to restore the parental realm. True
Speaker A
Father arrived at Pyongyang Airport on November 30, 1991. He stayed for a week , unsure if he would even be able to meet Kim Il-sung. But on the final day, he held talks with President Kim Il-sung before departing. They met at
Speaker A
Mansudae, where North Korea's top leaders spent time praising their Juche ideology. They talked about how wonderful Kim Il-sung's Juche ideology is, saying it is the reason they can be united. They kept speaking, using expressions like that. Then, President
Speaker A
Bo Hi Pak would provide explanations on behalf of True Parents. He would talk about how True Parents had carried out so many peace activities and would continue to do so in the future, and they went back and forth bragging,
Speaker A
eventually ending the session with applause, saying, "How wonderful." It was a time meant for them to talk for about 30 minutes and wrap things up, but just as it was about to end, True Father stood up to speak. Hm. He said,
Speaker A
"Wait a moment, I have something to say ," and for an hour, he criticized the world and taught the North Korean top leaders as if they were young children, telling them they must move toward a God-centered ideology. It is said that
Speaker A
the atmosphere was so terrifying that President Pak Bo-hi, who accompanied him at the time, actually thought, "Now we are dead." There were bodyguards behind them who were armed with guns, and in North Korea, criticizing the Juche ideology is actually strictly
Speaker A
prohibited by law. Because doing so could lead to execution, the disciples who were with him were terrified and wondered what to do, but Father insisted, believing that he wasn't just there to offer praise or a simple meeting; to truly save North Korea,
Speaker A
they needed to know God, and so he risked his life to deliver that message . As a result, that content was actually featured in the Rodong Sinmun, as they call it in North Korea. This was the first time the word "God"
Speaker A
appeared in the Rodong Sinmun. That was the context in which those words appeared. Then, on December 6, 1991, he held a summit with Chairman Kim Il-sung at the Heungnam Majeon State Guest House. There is a record that the two
Speaker A
of them became sworn brothers. Some records say Father expressed a desire to become sworn brothers with Chairman Kim, while others say Chairman Kim Il-sung proposed it to Father, but regardless of which record is accurate, we can see through this that they
Speaker A
became sworn brothers and united in a brotherly relationship with a heart of love. And they reached four agreements with Chairman Kim Il-sung. Let us find separated families. Let us use nuclear energy only for peaceful purposes. Let us welcome economic investment in North
Speaker A
Korea from all nations. And let us carry out peaceful economic projects and agree to an inter-Korean summit. He put forth these proposals, but looking at them, what do you think? Is this work for a religious leader to do? It
Speaker A
is not. Looking only at the content, it really seems like work that political leaders should do. Nevertheless, it wasn't just a religious role; both the Goryeo Federation and Kim Il-sung viewed True Father not merely as a religious leader but as a leader
Speaker A
capable of exercising political influence, which is why we can see that they reached these agreements together.
Speaker A
You have truly played so many roles. I was really surprised while watching this. As I learned about the path of their lives, I wondered, "Why isn't this in our modern history books?" As someone who went through the South
Speaker A
Korean education system, I studied history diligently in middle and high school, but I have never once seen the names "True Father" Sun Myung Moon or " President" Hak Ja Han in any history book. Even though they carried out
Speaker A
these activities, worked for true North-South unification, and made many efforts to end the Cold War, it is quite regrettable. It seems that South Korea is not yet ready to accept those aspects. Anyway, there is the fact that the True Parents risked their lives
Speaker A
every time they went. So, before going to North Korea, they went to Canada to perform what they call "Gomyeong" prayer and "Jeongseong" prayer. The term "Gomyeong" comes from China; it refers to the officials who received a king’s final instructions before he
Speaker A
went off to war, known as "Gomyeong officials." That Gomyeong and Jeongseong prayer was, in the end, an expression that Father and Mother were willing to die, but were performing a ritual to ensure that the mission of the Messiah would continue through
Speaker A
Mother if necessary—it shows us that the True Parents always went with a determination to face death. So, after achieving the providence of restoring the True Parent position in substance, Mother was finally appointed as the President of the Women's Federation as
Speaker A
a global leader. 1950. Yes. After that, in 1960 they were married, and it was only after leading countless providential victories that they officially proclaimed the True Parents in 1992. So, this proclamation led to the declaration of the Cheon Il
Speaker A
Guk era. The Old Testament is an old promise, and what is the New Testament?
Speaker A
A new promise. The term "Completed Testament" is used only in our church; it combines the character for "achieve" and "promise," meaning it is the era where the promise is fulfilled. They proclaimed it as the "Completed Testament Era," signifying an era where
Speaker A
God's promises are fulfilled, and to show how important this proclamation was, they held many grand events over those two years of the True Parents' lives. At that time, Father was 73 years old; he was quite elderly, and because his lungs were not in good
Speaker A
condition, he had a very hard time attending many of those events. So, Mother ended up giving a tremendous number of speeches on his behalf. And there are also accounts of their children participating as well. So, in these events, what kind of message is
Speaker A
shared? While proclaiming the True Parents, the first use of the term " True Parents" is introduced, saying that it is not a religion where one is saved through True Parents—though, of course, salvation is received—but that we all must become True Parents.
Speaker A
True Father speaks on the part that this religion is our religion. Therefore, I hope that everyone who has graced this place with their presence will become True Parents by following our guidance. This is True Mother, who is delivering the message. With that,
Speaker A
the third seven-year course begins in earnest. Now that the parental position has been restored and the True Parents have been proclaimed, moving from the age of the individual to the age of the family, the name "Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of
Speaker A
World Christianity" is set aside, and the "Family Federation for World Peace and Unification" is newly established.
Speaker A
So, while proclaiming those contents, the era is declared where one no longer prays in the name of True Parents, but prays in one's own name after receiving the Blessing. Then, in the year 2001, the work of crowning God as the King
Speaker A
proceeds. Let us take a look at these details one by one. Thus, after founding the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, the inaugural world assembly was held across 185 nations. So, from now on, it is not that we have separate churches,
Speaker A
but that our family is the church. It is declared that the family is the church itself. Then, if one asks what the church is now, according to True Father's words, it should be a center of heart and culture. It should also be
Speaker A
a center of education, and it could also be seen as a concept like a local administrative office that supports the needs of these families, similar to administrative support at the national level. After establishing the Family Federation, the tradition of Hoon Dok
Speaker A
Hae was instituted in 1997. It is the teaching that through reading the Word and becoming like the True Parents, we ourselves become second True Parents.
Speaker A
And in the mid-to-late 90s, True Parents went to South America to focus on the providence. Among them, at the Jardim and Sete Quedas farms, they spoke of Brazil as a place like the Garden of Eden and provided much direct
Speaker A
education. At that time, many spiritual providential works were truly carried out. Also, with the Jardim Declarations , many messages were given from the first to the eighth declaration, and there are many wonderful words within those messages. I believe that reading
Speaker A
those messages through Hoon Dok Hae will be of great help to our faith, so I hope you will engage in Hoon Dok Hae often. Yes. And you mentioned that Mother traveled extensively to give lectures around the world. So, as
Speaker A
Mother went on these world tours to complete those missions victoriously, Father, perhaps feeling sorry yet grateful, personally awarded her a citation for completing her mission in his own name. Yes. And at the time, even when Mother was the one directly
Speaker A
carrying out the tours, Father always established the standard that it was not Mother doing it alone, but that they were doing it together. So, to set the standard that the True Parents were together, they even held joint celebrations, and we have a video of
Speaker A
one of those celebrations that we’d like to watch together. It is said that while Mrs. Han was on her world tour, Father stayed connected through phone calls and the internet to monitor the broadcasts together. He always shared their joy and celebrated the success of
Speaker A
the tours through video calls. Yes. Looking at these details, we can see that all the providential work achieved after the Holy Wedding was carried out jointly by True Parents.
Speaker A
Moving on, we also mentioned the providence of the liberation of the spirit world during our first lecture.
Speaker A
We have now reached an era where concepts like hell and paradise no longer hold the same meaning. The era of the family. Because an era has opened where all families must become one human family under the Heavenly Parent, many proclamations and
Speaker A
activities were carried out regarding the liberation of hell and the abolition of paradise. And only after organizing even the spirit world in this way did the providence of crowning the Heavenly Parent as the King of humanity begin in 2001. Yes. So, we can
Speaker A
summarize the second, third seven-year course as follows. By meeting Gorbachev and Kim Il-sung, they restored the rights of the eldest son and the rights of the parents, proclaimed the True Parents and the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, and by
Speaker A
proclaiming God as King, they restored the royal authority. When we looked at the first, third seven-year course, we talked about the secret to victory.
Speaker A
However, looking at the content that follows, Father says that before concluding his words, it is also necessary to experience the results of being a loser. So, when we look at True Parents 'providence, it wasn't just a series of constant victories. In fact,
Speaker A
the photo we have today shows the time when they were imprisoned in Danbury. If we look at some of the representative examples of those events , there were also events such as the Seonghwa of Heung-jin Nim during that
Speaker A
second seven-year course. Regarding how Heung-jin Nim passed away, he was driving with two blessed children as passengers at the time. Suddenly, a truck crossed the center line and headed toward Heung-jin Nim's vehicle.
Speaker A
Instinctively, when an accident is imminent, one would usually steer away to the left, away from themselves.
Speaker A
However, because there were other members' children in the passenger seat and the back seat, he turned the steering wheel toward his own side to avoid them. The two passengers only suffered bruises and were saved, but Heung-jin Nim unfortunately ascended.
Speaker A
True Father heard about the accident, but he could not go immediately; he had to prioritize urgent providential work before he could visit him. True Parents also said that it was only after uncovering the truth behind his death that they could send him off publicly.
Speaker A
He also endured suffering while at the Danbury prison. In the United States, religious organizations and clergy do not pay taxes. This is because they already make offerings with the money they earn. However, the government claimed that interest earned from an
Speaker A
account holding donations in Father's name had not been reported—a sum that amounted to about 700,000 to 800,000 won at the time. Because of this, True Parents had to go through three years of trials. Ultimately, the United States ended up convicting True Father
Speaker A
on charges of tax evasion. As a result, he was imprisoned for one year and one month, where he lived the life of an inmate. Looking at this content, one might think it was a failure from a providential perspective. But as soon
Speaker A
as he was incarcerated in Danbury, True Father suddenly became a symbol of human rights and religious freedom in America. This means that as various established religions and human rights groups began protests for his release, a "Committee for Shared Suffering" was
Speaker A
formed, where pastors from established churches took turns saying, "I, too, will go to prison like Reverend Sun Myung Moon," volunteering to be incarcerated for a day to join in the suffering. And so, many established denominations came to join in support.
Speaker A
So, while the True Parents ' imprisonment in Danbury might not be called a good result, and could even be seen as a failure, we can actually see how this was not a failure at all, but rather a point where the providence
Speaker A
began to move in a new direction. Therefore, Father said that you never know whether the providence will succeed or fail. I believe that is why he taught us that we can achieve victory when we have the resolve not to
Speaker A
be discouraged, but to keep moving forward, even while experiencing the state of being a loser. Yes. And there are even accounts that many religious people were actually converted during this time. Thus, True Parents carried out the providence for the restoration
Speaker A
of the rights of the eldest son, the parent, and the kingship on a global scale, and starting in 1990, they proclaimed the Era of Cheon-il-guk and began the providence to be fulfilled in the name of True Parents. And to
Speaker A
achieve victory, we must have a precise sense of purpose and, at the same time, not just work hard, but always keep our inner selves in order. True Father taught us that we must offer more prayer and devotion, be able to
Speaker A
envision the results if we succeed, and at the same time, experience the outcome of failure—knowing what would happen if things do not go as planned —so that we can move forward and achieve an even greater victory. Just as those stumbling blocks became
Speaker A
stepping stones, we too may face many difficulties or what we might call failures in our life of faith. However, they may not necessarily be failures.
Speaker A
Failure is just a part of the process. We may judge whether we have succeeded or failed based on a certain goal, but if we do not see that failure as the end, but rather use it as a stepping
Speaker A
stone to work harder and grow more, then it does not end in failure but becomes the foundation for success, leading us to enjoy an even greater victory. Yes. I will now speak about the establishment of God's Kingship and
Speaker A
the preparation for the era of the Heavenly Kingdom. I will explain the course that began in 2001 with the Coronation Ceremony of God's Kingship, leading into the path of True Parents, where Heavenly Parent and True Parents became one. Therefore, vertically, God
Speaker A
has been carrying out the providence to establish His kingship and realize the ideal of oneness between God and humanity, while horizontally, He has been working to create a cosmic environment worldwide. Looking at the horizontal content first, after the
Speaker A
Coronation Ceremony of God's Kingship, we served Him as the King of Peace in Korea, the providential nation, representing 120 tribes. Then, we held the Coronation Ceremony of the King of Peace representing 185 nations, followed by the Coronation Ceremony of
Speaker A
the World King of Peace. Beyond this, extending from the earthly world to the spirit world, the Coronation Ceremony of the Cosmic King of Peace was held.
Speaker A
Vertically, the providence of the True Parents and the Heavenly Parent becoming one has been moving forward.
Speaker A
Thus, starting from the First to the Fourth Israel, the Coronation Ceremonies of the King of Peace and the Cosmic King of Peace took place, and finally, in August 2012, the True Parents made the proclamation that all had been accomplished. Let us examine
Speaker A
these contents one by one. Yes. On January 13, 2001, the Coronation Ceremony of God's Kingship was first held. Looking at the seating, the True Parents are in front, and there is a white chair behind them. Yes. This chair represents God. So, we can see
Speaker A
that the Heavenly Parent and the True Parents had not yet become completely one. It was still a stage in the process of reaching that point. So, although we did not use the term " Heavenly Parent" at the time, we can
Speaker A
see through this content that the True Parents were serving the Heavenly Parent. It seems we can also see through this seating arrangement that although God exists as one, there is not only God the Father but also God the Mother. After establishing God as
Speaker A
the King, the True Parents also held an enthronement ceremony, crowning themselves as the King of Blessed Families. Yes. And as mentioned earlier , the Coronation Ceremonies of the King of Peace were held for the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Israel; the
Speaker A
First Israel literally refers to Israel in the Middle East. Jesus should have been the King of that Israel. Therefore , when the First Israel coronation was held in the Middle East, a crown was prepared for Jesus, and an event was
Speaker A
held to offer the crown to Jesus in the Middle East. And since the Second Israel means the United States, and the Third and Fourth represent Korea, these events were held at the Korean National Assembly. This is about the True
Speaker A
Parents receiving the crown and moving forward. Yes. Then, in Yeosu, they held an event called Ssanghap-Sipseungil, which essentially serves to distinguish between the Former Heaven era and the Later Heaven era. From now on, it is the Later Heaven era. Since the Later
Speaker A
Heaven era is the world of original creation, let us live as if we are in the Garden of Eden. It was a declaration opening the Later Heaven era, with the message that we should no longer commit sins and should move
Speaker A
forward thinking that God is with us on Earth, just as in the Garden of Eden.
Speaker A
And in 2006, they held a grand event where the True Parents entered the Cheon Jeong Gung, a place serving as both a museum and a palace for God, to enshrine Him. At that time, they also shared the "Seven Great Missions,"
Speaker A
expressing their hope that all of humanity would live toward this goal. Around this period, there was also a helicopter crash incident. At that time , I had not yet joined the church.
Speaker A
However, it was reported heavily in the news that President Sun Myung Moon and President Hak Ja Han had been in a helicopter accident, so I did hear about it. Back then, I didn't know how this was interpreted providentially,
Speaker A
but I heard that the True Parents expressed it this way. Usually, when a helicopter crashes, you can consider it a 99%fatality rate. But despite this helicopter accident, apart from one person suffering a significant back injury, no one else was seriously hurt.
Speaker A
Because it was such a miraculous event, the True Parents declared that it should be commemorated with three days: the Day of the Completion of Rebirth, the Day of the Completion of Resurrection, and the Day of the Completion of Eternal Life,
Speaker A
establishing the traditions of the Dedication Ceremony, Sanctification Ceremony, and Blessing Ceremony. And in the midst of providence, in 2008, Hyo-jin Moon passed away. Even though the True Parents loved Hyo-jin dearly as one of their children, due to their
Speaker A
providential schedule, they had to head to the United States while sending him off from Cheongpyeong, so Hyo-jin's funeral cortege stopped at Hannam-dong on the way. There was a providential process of visiting the space where they had spent a long time together
Speaker A
before heading to Paju-won. When they arrived at Paju-won, the True Parents were waiting; as the True Parents of humanity, they had the mission to embrace everyone first, so how heartbreaking must it have been for them to lose their child? Despite that,
Speaker A
the Parents who were leaving to embrace the children of the Cain realm did not show their tears, but there is an anecdote that they stayed for a while before the body of Hyo-jin Nim was placed in the casket, just to see him
Speaker A
for a little longer. While carrying out the providence like this, at the Cheon Jeong Gung Hoon Dok Hae in 2006, they began to pray in the name of the Blessed Central Families. They express it as "Aju." Yes. I was also used to
Speaker A
saying "Amen, Amen," so it felt quite awkward when we were suddenly told to say "Aju." But after I learned the meaning, I really liked it. "Amen" actually means "So be it." Like, "I agree with that." It is said to be an
Speaker A
expression like that. So, it means "I agree with what someone else has prayed .""It will be so." If that is more of a third-party perspective of wishing for blessings, Father used the character for "Aju" meaning "owner" or "master"
Speaker A
to signify that I am also a part of that prayer. "This prayer is mine." Or by using expressions like "I am the owner of this prayer," he emphasized being the subject who takes ownership of the prayer, instructing us to say "
Speaker A
Aju" instead of "Amen," and that became our tradition. Then, while holding coronation ceremonies to achieve the liberation realm of God, the King of Kings, in Korea's Cheon Jeong Gung and also in the United States, he offered this prayer at a hotel in Las Vegas,
Speaker A
USA, in May 2010. He said that God and he had achieved one heart, one body, one mindset, and one harmony vertically , and had achieved a final unity horizontally. Thus, he proclaimed the completion, conclusion, and fulfillment of the Old, New, and Completed
Speaker A
Testament Ages, and the era of total, overall, authority, and omnipotence, twice. Providentially, he was making the declaration that True Father, True Mother, and the Heavenly Parent had become one. After that, before Father’s Seonghwa, many final large-scale rallies were held, which
Speaker A
were the "World Assemblies for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and the Proclamation of the Substantial Word." While teaching this content extensively , one of the core points he provided was that the substance comes first, not
Speaker A
the word. Therefore, when we learn the Word, we realize that we should not interpret what the True Parents did based on past words, but rather interpret the Word by looking at the True Parents, who are the substance of
Speaker A
the present. So, after finishing all these events, [He/She] wrote on a sheet of paper to proclaim that the celebration of the Cheon Il Guk Victory Day marked the unification of God and the True Parents. [He/She] made a declaration that the mission was
Speaker A
completed. That is why, even though True Father later passed away, this became the basis and foundation that allowed True Mother to proclaim Cheon Il Guk representing both True Father and the Heavenly Parent. After that, [ She] expanded the providence not only
Speaker A
to serve the Heavenly Parent but also to carry out operations for world peace , which led to movements at the UN level. [She] then proposed six sub-projects, launching activities to achieve practical peace. Yes. To this end, [She] united religious leaders and
Speaker A
political leaders to form the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace, and subsequently, the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), which we know well today. So, it is still one of the NGOs registered with the UN. The UPF exerts such influence, and the Women's
Speaker A
Federation is also registered with the UN. With these initiatives, the UPF has gained global influence. Initially, [ She] wanted to reform the UN. Since the existing UN, composed only of political leaders, could not transcend national interests, [She] sought to establish an
Speaker A
Abel UN centered on religious leaders to join with the existing UN, the Cain UN, but unfortunately, as this did not proceed, [She] founded the Abel UN directly and advocated for the abolition of national borders at the UN . After founding the UPF, [She]
Speaker A
announced the six projects and proceeded with the initiative for the Abel UN. Furthermore, there was the True Parents' UN initiative, based on the idea that the existing UN (Cain UN) and the Abel UN should become one to form the True Parents 'UN. After
Speaker A
holding so many preceding events, [His/ Her] health deteriorated, and as a final official schedule, [He/She] visited Osan School. Following that, on September 3, 2012, True Father passed away. The cause is said to have been acute pneumonia. Father’s lungs were
Speaker A
not in good condition, and looking at the lung scans, it was said that 70 to 80 percent of his lung function was already lost. But Father didn't even smoke, so there really wasn't any reason for his lung function to
Speaker A
deteriorate like that; experts believe it likely happened when he was in the Heungnam prison, as he had to inhale so many hazardous substances back then. So , Father ascended on September 3rd, and the Seonghwa ceremony was held for
Speaker A
thirteen days. Yes. Let’s listen to Father’s prayer together through this video. A few hours of correction, representing the nation, if you unite the 387 nations, everything will be finished. I have accomplished all the righteousness . It is finished. Aju. Yes.
Speaker A
He was speaking like that, really struggling for breath. As he spoke those words, he proclaimed that since the tribal messiahs have represented the nation and fulfilled their names, once these 387 nations are restored, everything will be completed. I have
Speaker A
finished everything for that sake. It is finished. He said, "Aju," and gave his final prayer like this. Yes. And so , True Mother, since in Korea a memorial service is held on the third day after someone passes away, presided
Speaker A
over the third-day ceremony and stated that we must advance without ceasing. She told our members that even though Father is now in spirit form, he will be with us, so let us advance without ceasing and move forward together with
Speaker A
strength. Yes. In this way, Father’s providence on earth came to an end. Father had his own determination since he was sixteen, and there were moments when he truly wanted to run away, but because of the sorrowful circumstances of Heavenly Parent who called him, he
Speaker A
was a True Father who came forward even when he wanted to give up, unable to do so. Reflecting on True Father, who moved forward with determination in every moment, I think that even though we face many difficult and hard times,
Speaker A
if we do not give up and always try to move forward despite our failures, frustrations, and difficult situations, we might be able to create a foundation where we can succeed and be victorious in a new phase, just like True Parents.
Speaker A
Yes. That brings us to the conclusion of the 7th lecture. In summary, looking at the journey of True Heavenly Parents up to the final year of 2012, they became one and completed the ideal of the unity of God and man. And they
Speaker A
carried out the UN-centered providence for an eternal world of peace. Now, we would like to conclude this content by watching True Father's final prayer. So , this is really the very last part now . Yes, so for the 8th lecture, Vision
Speaker A
2020 and Vision 2027 for the substance, and President Kim Dong-hyun's lectures, which are the last ones by the president, consist of two sessions. We will combine these into one session and begin the final lecture. In this lecture, we will share the providence
Speaker A
that Mother has unfolded while being one with True Father, who is in the spirit world, following Father’s Seonghwa. She has organized the contents like this. So, she held the dedication ceremony to enshrine the Heavenly Parents together in the Cheon
Speaker A
Jeong Gung, and then there was the Cheon Seung Gyeong providence. Following that, as she moved to the Cheon Won Gung providence, Mother opened the door for the Heavenly Parent to be completely liberated on earth. As those contents come down to the
Speaker A
three-generation realm and the future generations, she continues to carry out the providence for future generations; since the opening of Cheon Il Guk in 2013, she has been creating the HJ Cheon Won complex, a new nation, a nation that serves the Heavenly Parent,
Speaker A
a new continent, a new world, and a new cosmos—it seems she has expressed the providence she is still carrying out to serve the Heavenly Parent on this earth in this way. Also, in terms of spirit and truth, the spiritual aspect is
Speaker A
centered on the Cheon Shim Won, and the aspect of truth is the providence of True Parents, who are moving forward anew by proclaiming the truth with the True Parents’ doctrine, the three great scriptures, and the fact that the
Speaker A
Korean people are the chosen people, which True Parents reorganized after proclaiming the era of Cheon Il Guk.
Speaker A
Yes. Those contents unfold from 2013 to 2027. Is it said that it has not been officially announced yet? But it seems many already know, and the 2027 Blessing ceremony has been extended to 2028, not 2027. So, it is said that
Speaker A
Mother and the Family Federation are preparing to hold a larger event for the 60th anniversary of the Day of the Heavenly Parent. Therefore, thinking that a new providence will continue to unfold at that time, it would be good
Speaker A
for us to move forward as well. Now, let us look at the contents of Mother’s seven-year course after the Seonghwa ceremony and the proclamation of the foundation of Cheon Il Guk in 2013. During the first three years of
Speaker A
this seven-year course, the focus was more on internal organization and spiritual preparation, while the remaining four years were spent aggressively expanding horizontally after having established a vertical foundation. The same applies to Mother’s seven-year course. Thus, the three-year course was a period of
Speaker A
creating an internal and external environment for Cheon Il Guk, and the subsequent four years, starting in 2016 , marked a period of establishing Cheon Il Guk for the restoration of the seven nations and the providence of a new
Speaker A
nation. It has not been very long since we began calling God "Heavenly Parent." Therefore, on January 13, 2013, about a week before Foundation Day, True Mother declared the name "Heavenly Parent," revealing the existence of the Mother God and proclaiming the era of the
Speaker A
Heavenly Parent. If you look at the photos from Foundation Day, you can see this. When we look at the coronation ceremony for God’s Kingship, we see that the seats for True Parents and the seat for God were separate. You would
Speaker A
have seen that there were separate white seats. However, on Foundation Day , based on the standard that God and True Parents have become one, True Mother sat on this white throne with True Father’s attire placed beside her; this new proclamation of Cheon Il
Speaker A
Guk marked the beginning of a new era, with True Mother, the Queen of Heaven, ascending as the Queen of Cheon Il Guk.
Speaker A
She gave the word that because the nation of Cheon Il Guk had been established, we must receive the Blessing again to reach completion. I understand that many of our parents here, the first generation, received the Blessing once more. At that time,
Speaker A
in 2011, after I had submitted my application, I hadn't received the Blessing yet, so I was just watching from the sidelines, but seeing those events, I understood that since a nation where the spiritual and physical worlds are one had been unfolded, all
Speaker A
Blessed families needed to receive the Blessing again to be registered there. Yes. Cheon Il Guk is a nation where two people become one. It can also be described as a nation that began with True Parents and the Heavenly Parent
Speaker A
becoming one. Thus, with Cheon Il Guk as the national name, the rose and lily as the national flowers, and the crane as the national bird, the Cheon Il Guk flag and national anthem were offered to Heaven, marking the first year of
Speaker A
the opening of Cheon Il Guk and the beginning of the use of the Heavenly Calendar. So, in our Unification movement, we have annual mottos every year. To live the year centered on this motto, in 2014, True Mother proclaimed
Speaker A
that we would go until 2020 with the motto, "Let us become true owners of Cheon Il Guk who practice the true love of Heavenly Parent," and she actually used this motto. Yes. I would like to call this a very interesting message
Speaker A
because in no other religion or denomination do they say, "Let me resemble God." Or, "Let us become like God." There is not a single religion that expresses it in such a way. But for us, since God, the Creator, is our
Speaker A
Parent, parents and children must resemble each other, right? Therefore, I think we can view this as a profound message that encourages us to become true children and true owners who resemble our Creator, Heavenly Parent.
Speaker A
In Confucian culture, there is a tradition called "shim-myo"(mourning period), where the death of a parent is considered the child's sin. So, there is the concept of a child living as a sinner before their parents while serving them, and after True Father
Speaker A
ascended, True Mother offered a three-year "shim-myo" devotion on behalf of all humanity. Thus, every single day, she would go up to the Cheon Jeong Gung, where True Father is, to offer meals, flowers, and prayers.
Speaker A
So, for those three years, True Mother's deep devotion was a time to become one with Heavenly Parent and True Father, and at the same time, True Mother used this expression to Father.
Speaker A
It was a time to discern the elements that could only be indemnified while Father was present. Through such processes, True Parents reached a realm of oneness, and from the position of being one with Heavenly Parent, she began to express the cosmic
Speaker A
four-position foundation. When Father was on earth, it was a four-position foundation on earth, but now that Father is in the spirit world and Mother is on earth, because the two are one, heaven and earth have become one, and since they are a couple and have
Speaker A
children at a cosmic level, she began using the expression "cosmic four-position foundation" when giving her messages. And from that time on, she began to give us the term " Hyo-jeong"(filial heart) in earnest. " Hyo"(filial piety) can be described as
Speaker A
vertical love, and "Jeong"(heart/ affection) as horizontal love. Thus, we can view this as a message that we must complete the great realm of heart by having the contents where Hyo and Jeong , or vertical love and horizontal love,
Speaker A
are unified. Yes. So, at the third anniversary of the Seonghwa, she gave this message. Father, from now on, please do not worry. We will take deep responsibility for this. Through the words wishing that He, who has been lonely all this time, would be
Speaker A
comforted and set free as the object of the Holy Spirit, we can see the determination to inherit Father’s will and dream without interruption.
Speaker A
Therefore, we can interpret that dream as Mother’s commitment to suffering once more for Father’s dream, fulfilling the promise made with him to realize a truly peaceful world and liberate God. Then, after the year 2015 , she began to proclaim the truth of
Speaker A
providential history in earnest, and spoke to us about the Only Begotten Daughter. She explained that since the Only Begotten Daughter could not come 2,000 years ago, she has come again to proclaim the truth of providential history and create a new era of the
Speaker A
Heavenly Kingdom. She gave us these teachings, though I am not sure if I mentioned this before. This is one of the methods that can be very effective with Christians. Yes. In fact, it is said that the proclamation of the Only
Speaker A
Begotten Daughter was very effective among American clergy. I also once provided education on the Only Begotten Daughter while conducting missionary work and teaching the theory of True Parents. The fact is, if there is an Only Begotten Son, there must also be
Speaker A
an Only Begotten Daughter. I once taught Christians that there is a Heavenly Father, and that the substance of the Heavenly Mother is the Only Begotten Daughter, and the substance of the Heavenly Father is the Only Begotten Son, and that one man and one
Speaker A
woman come to complete the True Parents ; I did this with a Catholic believer, and in terms of education, it didn't even take a week. I conducted the education once a week for a month, two to three hours each time, and after one
Speaker A
month, I saw that person very easily confessing "Only Begotten Son Jesus, Only Begotten Daughter Hak Ja Han True Mother," and that friend is still faithfully practicing their faith today . Seeing that, I really came to understand why Mother told us to
Speaker A
proclaim the Only Begotten Daughter to Christians and use that to proselytize. Because, as a Christian myself, when I tried to believe in True Father as the Second Coming of the Messiah, it was the same for me. When I first heard the
Speaker A
Principle, I was shocked and it was so wonderful. But when it came down to it, I had to serve the True Parents and believe in True Father as the Second Coming of the Messiah; I understood it with my head, but it was very difficult
Speaker A
to serve Him with my heart. So, in order to serve Father from the heart, one must acknowledge that Jesus, whom I had believed to be a truly perfect and fulfilled being until now, was a failure who did not fully accomplish
Speaker A
his mission of providence and the mission of the True Parents; because there are these aspects that one must accept to believe in Father, a great deal of conflict arises in believing in both the Second Advent Messiah and the
Speaker A
Only Begotten Daughter. A conflict has arisen sentimentally and in one's heart . However, the "Only Begotten Daughter" is a concept that simply did not exist.
Speaker A
In Christianity. So, if we accept this part, it is said that Christians can also accept Mother quite easily, and when they come to realize anew through Mother how the Second Advent Messiah came and inherited the mission of the
Speaker A
Only Begotten Son, Jesus, many Christians in America were reportedly evangelized through this. Therefore, I think we should also try to make use of these aspects when we evangelize to Christians. Thus, as the truth of providential history, the theory of
Speaker A
True Parents and the fact of the Korean people as the chosen people are being taught, and that education is being widely conducted. And to lay the foundation for Cheon Il Guk, the three great scriptures were compiled, and the
Speaker A
constitution of Cheon Il Guk was proclaimed. Currently, the Cheon Seong Gyeong and Pyeong Hwa Gyeong have been released, but the Cheon Bu Gyeong was temporarily discontinued. Yes. Mother temporarily discontinued it because, in her intention, the contents of the
Speaker A
Cheon Bu Gyeong were mostly filled with the words of the True Father. It is made up of about 90%of words evaluating how True Father's life was, and 10%is added as annotations. While it discusses what kind of background and
Speaker A
contents these parts had, it is said that Mother instructed that it should be done the other way around. So, the meaning of "the other way around" is to center it on the testimonies that witness to and see the True Parents,
Speaker A
and that those testimonies and evidence should be the Cheon Bu Gyeong. Because she gave these words, they are currently in the process of organizing those things and creating a scripture.
Speaker A
So, I hope it comes out soon. Because I want to read it too. And now, the Tribal Messiah activity has been referred to as "Divine Messiah" by adding the character for God to the expression "Tribal Messiah," but she
Speaker A
also leads the Cheon Bo Won providence by saying that we must become Tribal Messiahs who directly serve the Heavenly Parent. And Mother herself directly hosted what I mentioned earlier, the Special Strategic Nations Conference in 2016. So, out of all the
Speaker A
countries in the world, 23 were selected, and the National Messiahs and National Presidents of these 23 nations were called in and asked to present their strategies on how they would restore their respective countries.
Speaker A
They presented all day long, 12 experts graded them, and it is said that Mother watched the entire thing live. Then, among those that presented, 13 countries were selected and promised intensive support, with the instruction to ensure they complete the national
Speaker A
restoration by 2020. Mother often expresses how truly sorry she felt to Heavenly Parent and True Father during the 13 days of Father's Seonghwa ceremony. She held a deep grievance that despite Father having dedicated his entire life to humanity, not a
Speaker A
single incumbent head of state attended his Seonghwa ceremony. So, she declared that in 2020, the centennial of Father’s birth, she would hold an event where at least seven incumbent heads of state would come to learn about the providence Father unfolded on
Speaker A
earth. That was also Mother's firm determination. With the will to firmly establish Cheon Il Guk, she began to carry out the providence more aggressively, expanding it starting from 2016. Yes. As a build-up for that, the Inter-religious Association for
Speaker A
Peace and Development (IAPD) and the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace (IAPP) were created. Not only that, but by creating the Inter-Religious Association for Peace, the Association of Clergy, the Association of Business Leaders, the Association of Journalists, and the
Speaker A
Association of Religious Leaders, she developed these contents into activities for the Vision 2020 Summit.
Speaker A
When she first gave the instruction for the Parliamentarians' Association, it is said that the disciples at the time offered a different opinion. They said, "Wouldn't it be better to gather ministers, who are the ones actually running the country, and form a group
Speaker A
of ministers instead?" But when they voiced that different opinion, it is said that Mother insisted strongly, telling them to just do as she said. So , they created it, and it is said that it turned out to be truly successful.
Speaker A
In fact, looking at the reality of politics, presidents and ministers all emerge from the ranks of parliamentarians. Also, because parliamentarians can serve consecutive terms—four, five years, twice, three, or four times—when such an association of parliamentarians becomes united and forms a strong cooperative
Speaker A
relationship, their political influence grows, which can be a great help in firmly establishing the world of Cheon Il Guk of Heavenly Parent. But honestly , when people talk about "political collusion" these days, if the Family Federation or Mother had truly sought
Speaker A
to gain some benefit through politics, or if they only met with political leaders for their own interests, they would certainly deserve criticism. The microphone fell. But that is not the case. Even just looking at this content shows that. It's not just the political
Speaker A
alliance, but also the associations of clergy, business leaders, journalists, and religious leaders; all these sectors must become one to create a holy assembly that can serve Heavenly Parent and build a platform for world peace, which is why Mother has been
Speaker A
building each of these parts one by one . That is why, when the Peace Summit was held in 2020, so many people were able to attend. She also built the Peace Palace. We can also see that she founded YSP and UPA to nurture future
Speaker A
leaders. Yes. Is it fair to say that after Father passed away, this was Mother's first major providential initiative? It is said that this was the founding of the UPA. She valued the needs of future generations so highly that she began to train public
Speaker A
officials through the UPA. She even sold the helicopter Father used to raise the funds, and it is said that many people came at that time. It’s said she prayed fervently, pleading with Father, and Father told her to proceed according to her will, which is
Speaker A
how she moved forward with the providence for future generations through the new UPA. In fact, if she hadn't started it that way, the average age of our pastors would be about 65.
Speaker A
Next year, 20 or 30 pastors will reach retirement age, and since there hadn't been any new pastors for over 15 years, thanks to this providence, we will now have many young public officials 10 years from now, and Mother foresaw this
Speaker A
and established it so that we could have a solid foundation of younger leaders. Yes. And globally, she blessed the continents as the nations of Heavenly Parent and proclaimed "Shin"( New) Godism to the world. True Mother traveled personally to give these
Speaker A
blessings. Japan was the starting point of the providence for the new nations. So, while conducting the Osaka rally, you first proclaimed it as God’s city and God’s nation, becoming a new Osaka and a new Japan. After that, as
Speaker A
you traveled overseas and throughout South Korea, you blessed those nations, declaring them to be divine nations.
Speaker A
Thus, you saw the criteria for the restoration of a divine nation in these two ways. Holding the national-level blessing ceremonies and gathering international leaders for this summit —these represent the True Parents ' mission, as these national-level blessings are part of the True Parents'
Speaker A
mission to save humanity and create one family under the Heavenly Parent. And by holding the International Leadership Conference for the realization of a world of peace, when many leaders gather to move forward while truly serving the Heavenly Parent, you
Speaker A
proceeded with the providence by opening the standard for national restoration, and you officially designated it as the criterion for achieving the restoration of the seven great nations. Yes. So, while you were active in this way, you were working
Speaker A
based on the restoration of only seven nations, but not only were these nations restored, but the world's religions were also restored. As religious leaders connected with Mother , you experienced the victory of restoring seven major religious denominations, and the number of
Speaker A
followers these leaders represent exceeds several million. In particular, it is said that one of the prophets has over 4 million followers. Also, Paula White is a person who evangelized the current U.S. President, President Trump , and she also serves as an advisor to
Speaker A
the President. There is also a pastor named Noel Jones, whose church is one of the top five largest in the United States, and it is said that his annual salary is also at the very top. Such religious figures were also restored,
Speaker A
and you achieved the result of restoring the seven major religions. Based on this, you carried out the WCLC , the final project in the United States leading up to 2020, and at that time, 30,000 clergy members gathered to
Speaker A
hold the event together. As the completion of those providential works, the World Summit 2020 was held. 2,700 leaders from all fields, including politics, economics, and society from 160 countries, attended. Among them, the heads of denominations—that is, the religious leaders—attended.
Speaker A
Several thousand people attended. It is said that this is the only conference in the world where people from such diverse fields participate. Not only that, but it is not often that different religions gather together in such large numbers. Nevertheless, it
Speaker A
can be said that such a gathering of leaders from different religions, along with leaders from all fields such as politics, economy, society, and culture , is truly unprecedented. Just as the World Summit began, a cake was suddenly brought in. And on that cake, it was
Speaker A
inscribed "Centennial of the Birth of the True Parents of Heaven." As an event to commemorate True Father's centennial, she proceeded with this cake. Since about ten incumbent heads of state were actually in attendance, Mother stood before Father’s holy
Speaker A
body and vowed that she would surely secure the settlement of Cheon Il Guk in 2020. It was a case of her actually fulfilling the promise to create an opportunity where incumbent top leaders could come, celebrate Father's providence up to that point, and be
Speaker A
informed about it. Thus, she proclaimed the settlement of Cheon Il Guk on January 13, 2020. While making that proclamation, it is said that Mother later shared these words. Because you did not believe in me, I had to show
Speaker A
you. In the expression that she had to show the victory of Heaven's providence , we can see the True Mother who forgave the children who could not understand her heart and proved it by showing the results herself. Then, she
Speaker A
announced the Heavenly Parent Holy Community. She said that all fields must gather under the umbrella of the Heavenly Parent and become one. It is also the content that she referred to as "Parentality." And by re-establishing the Jeongshimwon as the
Speaker A
Cheonsimwon, she bestowed upon us the Cheonsimwon as the highest foundation for spiritual devotion. Since this providence could not be stopped even during the COVID-19 pandemic, she continued to unfold the providence through virtual rallies, the Hope Forward Rallies, even after 2020. These
Speaker A
circumstances actually became an opportunity, leading to contracts with national broadcasters around the world centered on The Washington Times, establishing a system and network through which 3 billion people could watch and participate. Yes. Mother’s providence has been carried out as a
Speaker A
providence that advances toward the opening of the cosmos, from nations and continents centered on the Heavenly Parent, to a unified Korea, and the dedication of Cheonwon Gung. Therefore, to carry out these contents, she conducted the 2022 providence under the
Speaker A
theme of the Peace Summit on the Korean Peninsula. And, indeed, many people participated in it together. Back then, religious leaders like Paula White, Trump, the incumbent president, Ban Ki-moon, Vice President Mike Pence, and Mike Pompeo all came together to share
Speaker A
in the message regarding peace on the Korean Peninsula. So, why do we engage in these activities? It is for the realization of world peace in the global village, and at the same time, it is to carry out the liberation of
Speaker A
God that only True Parents can achieve. As part of the providence to liberate the Heavenly Parent, the Cheonwon Gung Cheonil Sanctuary was consecrated in 2023. And in 2025......a new motto for the year is given. Let us become true
Speaker A
children of Cheon Il Guk who fulfill our responsibilities as the chosen people, one with True Parents, for the 13 years of living with the Heavenly Parent as a reality. They said this content will last eternally, and as we
Speaker A
recite it like the Family Pledge, I think we should always strive to fulfill our responsibilities as blessed families and as the chosen people united with True Parents. After that, the message of "Holy Mother" is given to us. So, by revealing the existence
Speaker A
of the Heavenly Mother, which had been hidden until now, the order of a world of one family and human peace is established. This is the message that was given. Actually, I have thought a lot about this part as well. I also
Speaker A
wondered why the term "Holy Mother" is used instead of just "True Parents." Of course, we do use the term "Holy Mother ." When we look at Mother as a pioneering figure, she may seem like one person, but for those whose
Speaker A
spiritual eyes are open, seeing Mother is truly seeing Father. Since we can see that she is one with the Heavenly Parent, I believe we should be able to think of the Heavenly Parent through the term "Holy Mother," and interpret
Speaker A
it as the Holy Mother representing True Parents. And she uses that expression, doesn't she? That the revelation of the hidden Heavenly Mother establishes the order for a world of one family and peace for humanity. Hmm. Uh, this...
Speaker A
This is just Pastor Cha Jung-won's personal thought. Yes. It seems that the doctrinal and technical aspects are emphasized a bit more. I believe that women have a more developed capacity in terms of love and spirituality, and when we look at history, we can
Speaker A
interpret the advancement of human technology in a very specific way. Yes. In fact, technological progress has been continuously upgraded through war.
Speaker A
Just as the internet era opened when the intranet used by the military was popularized in daily life, I think that era reached the very peak of technological development. That is the current AI era. However, now that we have reached the pinnacle of
Speaker A
technological development with the AI era, wouldn't this be a time when the love and sensibility of women are needed to make such an era completely one again? Especially the Heavenly Mother, the love of a Mother. So, by combining these areas, which were based
Speaker A
on the logic of technology and power, with the logic of sensibility and true love—and when this love of the Heavenly Mother unites with technology, even including AI—isn't this what was meant by saying that a peaceful human order is established? That is how I
Speaker A
have come to interpret it. Yes. That is why, through the Cheonwon Cheonil Sanctuary Dedication Ceremony, Mother proclaimed that from this day on, our Heavenly Parent can fully love and embrace His children to His heart's content. So, through the Cheonwon Guk
Speaker A
Cheonil Sanctuary Dedication Ceremony, we entered an era where we actually live serving our Heavenly Parent. The core of this event can be divided into three parts; among them, the Cheon-ui Blessing Ceremony represents the inheritance of those whom Heaven loves
Speaker A
and blesses, and while taking photos of this, Mother also spoke about how the providence is being passed on to that generation. Regarding the Cheon-ui Blessing recipients and the UPA students, Mother once said this. She said, "The Cheon-ui Blessing recipients
Speaker A
are my direct children." And, "But you are also my direct children.""Then, what is your relationship?""You are brothers and sisters." So, she told them that they must unite well and move forward, centering on the students.
Speaker A
That is what she said to them. With those words, she described the Cheon-ui Blessing recipients as her central figures. Although the Third Generation representatives have been placed as central figures and representatives, Mother considers all the children of the blessed families here as her own
Speaker A
direct children. So, even though the Moon family is featured here in the photos as a representative, our children are also present here. I hope you will reflect on the blessings Mother gives us, thinking that I am also included there. Yes. Through the
Speaker A
providence of Cheon Won Gung and the Cheon-Il Sanctum, she brings about the liberation of Heavenly Parent.
Speaker A
Furthermore, she expresses how the True Parents came to be through the Life Exhibition Hall, and as she completes Cheon Won Gung, she moves forward with the contents to carry out the UN providence as the central office of Cheon Il Guk. Yes. This is the final
Speaker A
part. It is about the final and greatest achievement of True Parents. Since time is short, I will move through this quickly. The life and words of True Parents can be summarized into these five points. Let's look at them one by one. The realization of the
Speaker A
True Parent ideal was not done unilaterally by one person, but rather both True Parents worked together. In this regard, we can see that the oneness between God and True Parents was already completed in 2011. Also, looking at all the providential names
Speaker A
and declarations after the Holy Wedding in 1960, the term "True Parents" is always included. Therefore, we should interpret everything that True Father led or that True Mother led as the providence of True Parents. Both Father and Mother, in the providence of
Speaker A
restoration, fulfilled their responsibilities through their own choices, decisions, and the completion of their assigned duties. We can see that Mother and Father accomplished and completed everything on the foundation they prayed for and chose, leading to the opening of Cheon Il Guk and
Speaker A
Foundation Day. And the providence of True Parents is, in conclusion, infallible. As I mentioned earlier, when we see how parts that might appear to be failures actually became stepping stones for greater victories, we realize that the difficulties or
Speaker A
perceived failures encountered by True Parents were, in the end, part of their completion as the True Parents of Heaven. That is why we can see those contents as being infallible. Yes. I will move through this a bit quickly
Speaker A
because of what we covered earlier. One month after Danbury, world religious leaders gathered to form the World Religious Parliament, and that successful story is what we move on to next. Furthermore, all the providential contents and words of the True Parents
Speaker A
have Heart and True Love as their goal, so we must view them through that lens.
Speaker A
So, when we look at past words of Father and Mother, we may sometimes find points where they seem to conflict . But when we see such words, we shouldn't think Father and Mother are separate; from the perspective of Heart
Speaker A
and True Love, Father and Mother are one. Amidst that, we must be able to look with eyes of love at the backgrounds and contexts of why they spoke those words at the time. When we do that, even if the words seem
Speaker A
contradictory, we should be able to interpret them as part of the process and content intended to realize the True Parents 'purpose. We must be able to see that these should be interpreted through True Love. Yes. It is already
Speaker A
9:30. I will proceed quickly. So, the True Parents initially said that 2013 would be the end. Yes. Yes. They said that the 2013 Foundation Day would be the end of the providence of restoration, but suddenly Vision 2020 appeared, and recently 2028 has emerged
Speaker A
, and such things have continued in the past as well. It is said that in 1960, Father said that if we just do seven more years, if we just do the seven-year providence, the providence of restoration would be finished. Yes.
Speaker A
Indeed, when 1967 arrived and it became January 1st, 1968, Father said that the growth-stage seven-year course had finished. He then said let's go on to the growth-stage and completion-stage 21-year course, and so they embarked on that journey. When the 21 years ended,
Speaker A
what did they say again? That the first three 7-year courses had ended. They said to proceed to the second round. So , even though they keep saying it is the end, it is not the end. Why did they say that? If you look at the
Speaker A
content, you can see photos like these. Looking at the providence in the U.S., specifically the Madison Square Garden event, you can see the bulletproof glass in the back. And even at the Yankee Stadium rally, where the baseball stadium was rented, there was
Speaker A
bulletproof glass, and Father's clothes look like they might burst at the seams . He was wearing a bulletproof vest. So , in fact, at the time when they went to America to carry out their providence, they received many
Speaker A
threatening phone calls from extreme Christians and forces that supported the Communist Party. And they even threatened to plant bombs. It is said that there were over twelve different groups that vowed to kill them. Because of that, especially at events like the
Speaker A
Washington Monument rally, which was a completely open space. There was an absolute possibility of being assassinated there, so our True Parents always went forward, risking their lives. Therefore, we can see that when facing all providential work, our True
Speaker A
Parents approached it with a "do or die " mindset, believing it could be their last. In fact, there was also an attempted assassination. And when meeting President Gorbachev, they once stayed at a hotel where the situation was truly terrifying. But after seeing
Speaker A
that situation, a year later, a coup was carried out by those extreme communists. At the time, Father was in a situation where he could have been killed, and later, after the Soviet Union collapsed, KGB classified documents revealed that Father was
Speaker A
among the top three targets for assassination. That is to say, because Father and Mother always risked their lives going to places where they could be killed, they always moved with the mindset that it might be their last.
Speaker A
Father even gave what amounted to a testament, saying that although he could die at any time, if Mother were still alive, she would take his place.
Speaker A
Because they moved forward prepared for death, we can see how they risked their lives in Pyongyang to criticize Juche ideology and deliver their message.
Speaker A
There are accounts of the hardships Father endured like that as well. Mother, while serving Father and carrying out the True Parents' providence together, also simultaneously carried out the providence of childbirth. Despite four miscarriages, she was determined to give birth to at least thirteen
Speaker A
children, and even though her body was falling apart, she continued to give birth year after year to fulfill the True Parents 'providence; we can see how Mother also truly risked her life.
Speaker A
And we only learned about this later after time had passed. When Mother held the 200,000-couple Blessing Ceremony in South America, she stood for an hour and a half to conduct it. There is a story that back then, Mother had
Speaker A
completely worn out the cartilage in her knees, and before going up on stage or attending events, she would always receive anesthetic injections and wrap her knees tightly with bandages before going up. So, after flying to more than seven countries over 40 days, there are
Speaker A
accounts that her knees were swollen to the point of bursting, and her legs were completely ruined. Even so, Mother carried out this providence, and she was the True Mother who made life-or-death decisions, fully aware of the possibility that something could go
Speaker A
wrong when she went out to the assemblies. Yes. Because it was a providence of the True Parents who went out risking their lives, it seems they were parents who always thought of the end, keeping us in mind, whenever they
Speaker A
faced what could be their last. So, as we look upon this providence of the True Parents, I think we also need to reflect on it. Why did the True Parents go out like this, risking their lives?
Speaker A
If we look at the reason, it is to liberate our Heavenly Parent. It is to fulfill the dream of the Heavenly Parent. But what is the dream of the Heavenly Parent? When we consider the dream of birthing sons and daughters on
Speaker A
this Earth whom He could call "my son" or "my daughter," and living for eternity in love with those blessed children on this Earth, that is the dream of the True Parents; and because they risked their lives for the sake of
Speaker A
the Heavenly Parent’s dream, and for the sake of me, these blessed families, and these descendants, when we reflect on how they went forward risking their lives, we can learn through the True Parents' heart and life course, and when difficulties, unfairness,
Speaker A
frustration, or hard moments arise in our lives, we can ask ourselves, "How did our Parents resolve these situations?" What kind of heart realm were they in? If we embody those things 100%, 200%, and gradually expand the vessel of our love, only then will the
Speaker A
True Parents 'life not merely be "the True Parents' life" and "my life" as separate things, but if our lives become one with the True Parents 'life, I believe we too can become the most filial sons and daughters, loyal
Speaker A
subjects, saints, and holy people who fulfill their duty to our Heavenly Parent. So, based on this, we have learned much about their life course. I hope we can take some time to reflect on these contents once again and
Speaker A
contemplate the heart of the True Parents. All right, then I will offer a prayer to conclude today's session.
Speaker A
Beloved Heavenly Parent, beloved True Parents, thank you. We love you. Although today's session was not very long, we were still able to have a time to learn through the life course of the True Parents about how They have
Speaker A
fulfilled the role of the Messiah for the salvation of humanity, how They became the True Parents, how the True Parents have become one with Heavenly Parent in the ideal of unity between God and man, and how They are still
Speaker A
carrying out the providence today. Although we are so lacking, I know that within these contents, there are words that Heavenly Parent surely wishes to give to me, to us, and to each and every one of us. Therefore, please
Speaker A
allow us to feel and experience these contents through the life of the True Parents, and as we reflect once again that all the life that the True Parents have lived was for us, to save each one of us, and for the sake of each blessed
Speaker A
child, we must consider the value of our lives to be so precious; and as we reflect again that we are children receiving the great blessing and love of Heavenly Parent, if we can inherit the heart of Heavenly Parent and the
Speaker A
heart of the True Parents as our own while experiencing that love 100%or 120 %, then even if we were told not to fulfill our responsibilities, we would have no choice but to do so, for our hearts would be moved to serve Mother
Speaker A
and Father and, with that mind, we would move forward to fulfill the mission of the second True Parents and tribal messiahs to save this humanity; knowing this, please inherit to us through the True Parents' life course the words You wish to speak to us today
Speaker A
, and please inherit to us Their heart. By doing so, as we grow and mature in this, please guide us to become blessed families and children of blessed families who can be confident in saying that we are the true children of the
Speaker A
True Parents while serving the True Parents as the true parents of humanity , and who can realize the awareness of the messiah within ourselves. With gratitude and thanks, I offer this prayer of thanks in the name of the
Speaker A
blessed family Cha Sang-won, who serves Heaven, in every word of this prayer. Aju. Thank you.
