3rd 40 Day Period Begins Today

Dear Family,
Based on the victory of the Coronation of Jesus in Jerusalem and Washington and then the Coronation of True Parents a new period began in the dispensation.
On April 1st we began, in North America, a national 120 Day Condition for Education, Witnessing and the increase in membership of the Family Church of America. During this period our objective is to develop a region and state based foundation to consistently grow the membership of our Family Church and Family Movement while maintaining the central and key providential momentum through religious leaders and Ambassadors for Peace which will allow the Elder Son Nation to fulfill its role to realize the Peace Kingdom.
The first 40 Day Period ran from April 1st to May 10th - during this time plans were developed in each region and implementation began. The Second 40 day period, which completed yesterday, was the period of implementation - some growth occurred. Also the Women of Faith went to Jerusalem at this time fulfilling a central role as mothers bringing Ishmael and Isaac together. Today, on June 20th the third 40 Day period begins.
I sincerely thank all of you for the efforts made to unite together and to increase our foundation in America. It is working and we shall overcome.
I want to encourage all Blessed Central Families (both the elder and younger generations) to be very clear as to our identity as a Chosen People and the serious nature of our responsibility and the time we live in. As it was with Moses and the Israelites, the destiny of this nation is determined by how the Chosen people respond to the will of God. Our course matches that of the Israelites, we must be strong and of a good courage and we must realize as the scripture says that our battle is a spiritual one.
Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
In the final days of the second 40 Day Condition (at the top of the growth stage) key leaders who supported our True Parents were strongly attacked and asked to separate and deny their association, particularly for supporting the Crown of Peace event. I am happy to report that these key leaders - religious and political, exhibited outstanding faith.
Like the time of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., many tried to intimidate people for their association with the King movement based on condemnation of Dr. King on unfounded and unsubstantiated accusations. Dr. King was first deemed an "untouchable" because he was black, he was accused of being a communist and a threat to the security of our nation. He was ridiculed for outlandish claims that freedom and justice could be won with non violence. Based on these unfavorable conditions and the ill will of those who want to maintain the status quo of the division of races and religions, many who associated with Dr. King were smeared and ridiculed. Some were harassed and even lost their lives. The courage of Dr. King and the believers in the "Dream" turned the tide and the movement broke through.
The key religious and political leaders surrounding our True Parents will not be intimidated and they have broken through, refusing to bow to threats and fear. They have stood strong and, it must be noted, that the majority of these key leaders who refuse to deny their trust in True Parents and our movement are Black. As Black leaders they are used to such treatment and are not afraid. They are used to slander and being maligned because of race. They are used to people of other races trying to help them "choose" who is "right" to be associated with. They also know personally the "living God" and are not afraid to follow what He deems is the path that has been prepared. The faith and strength of such leadership is the hope of America.
Now, Muslims, Christians and Jews are standing firm with True Parents for the vision that all races can and will reconcile and that the family can be restored and blessed. At the time of Jesus, at his most critical moment his family and disciples couldn't understand him and key religious and political leaders separated from him to save their own lives. This allowed the forces against God to directly attack Jesus. Therefore the reversal of the history of 2000 years ago occurred on December 22nd and February 4th when Jewish leaders gave Jesus support and his Crown as the King of Israel. Religious leaders reconciled and now the strife between Christian, Muslim and Jew can now be solved. The root of the enmity and division between Palestinians and Israelis has now been reconciled. Peace can now be realized.
The leaders of today who love True Parents, unlike 2000 years ago, did not run and deny their associations, therefore the past history has once again been reversed. We are deeply proud of their faith in God and love for Jesus. As they have stood firm they open gate for thousands and even millions more to stand up as leaders and come toward the Peace Kingdom.
The Third 40 day Period will bring forth a great transition. Let us sacrifice ourselves to break down all the barriers of race and religion and allow all the people of faith to walk together to heal and reconcile all humanity before God.
Love,
MWJ
