The Words of the Cromwell Family |
True Parents' world speaking tour of 2011 began on Easter Sunday with a speech to twelve thousand people at the Songdo Convensia in Incheon (www.songdoconvensia.com/) in God's homeland of Korea. True Family members in attendance included Unification Church (www.tongilgyo.org/system/main_en) International President Rev. Hyung Jin Moon and his spouse, Tongil Group Chairman Kook Jin Moon (tongilgroup.org/eng/sub01/sub01_4.html), and Universal Ballet Company Director Hoon Sook Moon (www.universalballet.com/eng/introduce/introduce01.asp), wife of the late Heung Jin Moon, True Parents' second son.
Among religious leaders in attendance at the event were Monk Daewoo, former director of the Korean Jogye Buddhist Mission, Roman Catholic Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo, President Gi Cheol Lee of the International Christian Mission Association, Mr. Cheol Gi Lee, former head of Cheondoism, and Soon Gyeong Seong, Chairman of the Korean Buddhist Law Society. Other VIPs present included Mr. Gi Shin Kim, Chairman of the Incheon City Council, and popular performer Seok Hyeon, a member of the Cultural and Arts Forum of the Ambassador for Peace Association.
In the "report prayer," Rev. Yeong Seok Song, Chairman of the Japanese Unification movement, testified that these cosmic assemblies signify rallies through which Satan is kicked out of God's house. (In the past, True Father has explained on several occasions that the cosmos, according to its Chinese root character, signifies God's house) and expressed his wishes that this tour, which begins in Korea, can have God's blessing and produce holy elements to be used for the building of God's Kingdom on earth. In congratulatory remarks, Tongil Group Chairman Kook Jin Moon acknowledged that True Father is the Messiah and Second Coming of the Lord, for whom humanity has waited, the True Parent who, together with True Mother, has liquidated original sin as the owner of True Love and the True Lineage, and the King of Peace, who has established a tradition of dedication, service and love.
Chairman Moon stressed that the gathering was for the purpose of inheriting and practicing the True Love of the True Parents. He quoted True Parents' proclamation from the year before that Korea is God's homeland and God's hometown, and emphasized that a strong Korea must be created in order to attend God and True Parents properly, especially in light of the current dangers threatening God's hometown, as shown by the bombings of the Cheonan submarine and Yeonpyeong Island last year.
Prior to True Parents' speech, International President Rev. Hyung Jin Moon emphasized that True Parents have a greater mission and a greater value than that of good parents in a traditional family, a great leader or a religious founder. True Parents have come to complete God's original ideal by carrying out the Providence of Restoration with God's heart of True Love. True Father had been sent by God to perfect the ideal of a family in which God's True Love could be horizontally manifested, so that all of humanity could inherit the love of True Parents and so that God could be liberated. Rev. Hyung Jin Moon asked all in attendance to do their best to understand True Parents' value. He asked them to listen to True Parents' precious words with an open mind and open heart and to use their spiritual eyes to discern True Parents' mission on this earth.
As soon as True Father got on the stage, he said, "You know that God exists. So, are you going to become God's sons and daughters, his disciples or his servants?" Then Father said, "Let's try and become God's children" and began to give his main speech.
In the very first paragraph of Father's speech, he outlined his current work in Las Vegas, from the educational programs he has hosted there to battle the city's fallen culture of promiscuity, destructive gambling, drugs and alcohol, to the ocean workshops he has held at Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, to the establishment of a travel agency to make the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon into world-renowned tourist attractions, to the "pioneering of Sedona, Arizona" which is said to be a place where ki gathers. He also took note of the billboard advertisements on the central highway in Las Vegas, which were put up to commemorate the successful distribution of 70,000 copies of his autobiography.
He also announced the purchase of a large factory in which Negative-N.C.-Resin Mold boats will be constructed. In addition, an education center was purchased and will be used to educate representatives from all 50 states as well as Boonbongwangs [royal emissaries], National Messiahs and religious leaders representing 194 nations of the world. Finally, Father noted that no one else ever has invested as much effort as he currently is investing for the sake of making Las Vegas a better place.
True Father next announced that he had proclaimed the beginning of the Age after the Coming of Heaven on April 18, 2011 on the occasion of the 52nd celebration of True Parents' Holy Wedding ceremony. It is an age in which a new heaven and a new earth are to be established through the recovering of True Love. Thus, this current tour is to unfold the lifestyle of the Age after the Coming of Heaven.
True Father asked that everyone become a representative and inheritor of True Parents by the time that these Cosmic Assemblies for the Proclamation of the Words of God's Substantial Body that has Settled as the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind have been completed, and that everyone inherit the teachings and lifestyle shown through his autobiography, his life achievements and his words, which have all been to establish God's authority and power. Father asked that everyone also bring victory in their lives in the same way. He asked them to become heavenly bridges for their families and relatives so as to guide their families and relatives up the vertical ladder to the heavenly world, just as True Parents have done for them. Father then received everyone's pledge to do so.
Father then gave the speech he has been giving at the recent cosmic assemblies in Las Vegas, New York and Korea.
True Parents' speaking tour will continue in Madrid April 26, 2011. True Parents are scheduled to speak in Rome on April 29, 2011, in Oslo on May 1, 2011 in Turkey on May 7, 2011, in London on May 11th, at the United Nations in Geneva on May 13th (Friday), in Berlin on May 18th (Wednesday) and finally in the United States (dates not announced).
