Chapter 1 The Life of the Founder

Speaking Tour in Japan

Having successfully concluded her speaking tour in the United States, including the invitational addresses at the US Congress and United Nations Headquarters, President Jak Ja Han Moon held a speaking tour throughout Japan to announce the Advent of the Second Coming of the Messiah. Starting from Sapporo, Hokkaido, the tour continued on through Tokyo, Nagoya, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka, culminating in Osaka. Altogether, 150.000 people, including 50.000 at the Tokyo Dome, attended the speeches on the topic of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age. Mrs. Moon proclaimed that humanity had entered the Completed Testament Age, the era when the purpose of God's creation and world peace could be realized, and when, at this historical turning point, all humanity could accomplish the ideal family of the original creation based on unconditional love. Portions of the speeches were broadcast in Japan through the Asahin and Nihon television stations.
