Dear Ambassadors for Peace,

Four years ago on December 22, 2003 an event occurred that has changed the course of history. Jewish, Christian and Muslim leaders joined in Jerusalem's Independence Park to hold a ceremony of respect and reconciliation between the leaders and representatives of the Abrahamic faiths.

Last night at the New Jersey Ambassadors for Peace 5th Annual Banquet Mr. David Eaton highlighted this historic anniversary and all the delegates remembered this historic event. In Jerusalem on December 22, 2003, over 20,000 gathered to witness something that could not be imagined - that Jewish leaders, with full understanding and profound appreciation for the role of the "chosen" people in the Scriptures, would step forward to end the long and sad division of the family of Jesus.

On this day four years ago they stepped forward and offered Jesus a Crown, honoring him as the King of Peace of Israel and loving him as their own family member. This historic event was central to the internal conditions necessary to break the "lock" of the historic division that occurred due to Jesus' rejection that led to the division of Judaism into the three Abrahamic faiths. This condition has also been the root cause of the seemingly irreconcilable differences in the Middle East.

At the crowning of Jesus on December 22, 2003, Jewish leaders (who did not convert or become Christian) expressed love and appreciation for Jesus through offering him a crown as the King of Peace in Israel. Christians then proclaimed that Muhammad (PBUH) is God's prophet and God's representative and Muslims gave a menorah to Jewish leaders showing respect for Jewish family.

Though this event came forth quietly, the ramifications are vast in scope. This is the foundation of reconciliation that has removed all "curses" and internal conditions, boundaries and barriers. The door is now open for the family of Abraham to unite in Israel, Palestine and throughout the Middle East. We sincerely pray that upon this foundation the current efforts from America, Palestine and Israel and other members of the quartet and the religious leaders involved will now be able to realize this and finally end the strife and conflict.

Together with True Parents, we, as Ambassadors for Peace, are now completing this Jubilee Year of 2007, the 7th Year of Cheon Il Guk (The Realization of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth). The central message for this year has been the address entitled, "A Providential View of the Pacific Rim Era in Light of God’s Will -The United States and the Future Direction of the United Nations and the World."

Since March 17th of 2007, the UPF's International Leadership conference and other conferences were conducted on the 17th of each and every month from March through December and this message was delivered as a guiding light for the delegates from all the nations of the world. It highlights the central mission of the Abel UN as the universal body that will lead the way to peace. It also highlights that America's mission is central to this providence and is called by God to lift up and support the Abel UN and through this process create unity between the U.S., the U.N. and all the nations of the world.

The message also highlights that the future of the world revolves now around the unity of the Pacific Rim nations, together with China, Russia and India and all nations in the region to be realized through America as the Elder Son Nation centering on the Abel UN.

This will create a culture of peace and realize the peaceful reunification of Korea. All of this is based on True Parents resolving all the key divisions of history to bring the world into "One Family Under God." The address also highlights the Coronation of Jesus as central to the providence of the establishment of True Parents as the King and Queen of Peace and the Peace Kingdom. This was one of the key conditions necessary for the establishment of the Abel UN.

The Coronation of Jesus was a pivotal moment in the dispensation leading up to today which is highlighted by the following message that Father Moon has delivered:

"In Jerusalem, in 2003, on the foundation of the victory attained through such blood, sweat and tears, I had Jesus proclaimed as the king of kings before heaven and earth with the acknowledgment of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Following this, in 2004, I was acknowledged as the king of peace both in a United States Senate Office Building and at the Korean National Assembly. Subsequently, in June 2006, we held the Coronation Ceremony of the True Parents as the King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and Earth.

Ladies and gentlemen, on September 12, 2005, I proclaimed throughout all of heaven and earth the establishment of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), which will enable God’s providence to flourish. Now, it is entirely possible for the Universal Peace Federation to serve as an "Abel-type" counterpart to the United Nations in the Era after the Coming of Heaven. It will renew the "Cain-type" United Nations and lead the way for millions of Ambassadors for Peace throughout the world who have taken up my teachings, "the Way of the Heavenly Father" -- which consist of the principles of true love and the ideal of a true family -- and, without fail, fulfill the heavenly will of creating "one family under God."

Father gave this address once again on December 18th in Washington D.C. as the final public address of 2007 also calling for the unity of North and South America centering on the unity of Protestantism and Catholicism.

Let us give thanks to God and with confidence extend our hearts out in love for all humanity. We are all brothers and sisters before the God of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael and Jacob, the one God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam and all religions.

Now the day of reconciliation of all nations is at hand and will be further realized through the Global Peace Festivals that will be held on every continent in 2008. With this understanding let us give thanks for the fulfillment of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Israel and the unity of the family of Abraham which was further expanded and solidified through the 33rd Middle East Peace Initiative which was completed on December 9, 2007.

The 33rd MEPI successfully went over the 33rd year of Jesus and now has created the condition for the rise of God's family as one family. All of the past has been forgiven and cleared away in this Jubilee year. 2008 is the year of "new beginning" for all the world as "One Family Under God."

Let us rejoice in this great victory as we prepare to celebrate the Birthday of Jesus.

With Love and Gratitude,

Dr. Michael Jenkins
