Instructions from International Headquarters: (Edited for North America)

On August 20th True Parents conducted the "Declaration Ceremony for the beginning of the Nation of the Fourth Israel," centering on the kingship of heaven. The procedure of the declaration is reported in detail below. In particular, the day held a bigger significance in that it was the eighteenth anniversary of Father's release from Danbury Correctional Facility. True Parents went the way of the cross on the world level and were victorious over the suffering arising from Father's incarceration at Danbury.

1. Title of the Declaration

Declaration Ceremony for the Beginning of the Nation of the Fourth Israel

2. Meaning

Cheon Il Guk is the internal nation while the Nation of the Fourth Israel is the external nation, so this is the beginning of the completion of the national realm. It is also the commencement ceremony for the declaration of the starting point for the new holy wine to enter the fatherland of the God of the Three Realms (first, second and third Israel).

3. Background

True Father emphasized "The Renewal Movement for the Peace and Unification of the First Realm of Israel is the Ideal of the Establishment of God's Fatherland." On May 18th last, with Rabbis and Islamic leaders as the representatives of the first realm of Israel, Christian church leaders as the representatives of the second realm of Israel centered on America, and Unification pastors as the representative of the third realm of Israel, united into one, True Father carried out the Jerusalem Declaration. This was followed by the Washington Declaration in America, the Christian nation representing the second realm of Israel. Finally, on August 15, he conducted the Seoul Peace Declaration Rally in Korea, the nation representing the third realm of Israel. August 20th was a special day that carried great providential meaning, on which the victories of the Jerusalem Declaration, the Washington Declaration and the Seoul Declaration were dedicated to God on the victorious foundation of the first, second and third Israel, and on which the "Declaration Ceremony for the Beginning of the Nation of the Fourth Israel" was held.

4. True Father's Words

Through his words at the Declaration Ceremony, True Father told us that since we have entered a new era, we should all repent for just living our lives the way we wanted until now, and that we should start afresh. He also emphasized that as Israel began on the victorious foundation of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob's families, all blessed families should be proud of Jacob's and Jesus' traditions. He further emphasized that we should go beyond these traditions and establish the new traditions of the heavenly kingdom. At the same time, he emphasized the importance of messages from the spirit world. He told us that since God had sent and acknowledged True Parents, the five saints had no choice but to accept the resolution, and therefore all blessed families should learn the resolution of the five saints by heart, and should hold a group meeting at least once a week with people close to them, in which they would read the resolution together. He also emphasized the importance of the Family Pledge, and that when people recited the Family Pledge, they should do so slowly, thinking about its meaning. He said that "As the owner of Cheon Il Guk," which are the first words of the Pledge, meant that we were also the owners of the Pledge, and that we should do our utmost best to fulfill and put into practice the meaning of the Family Pledge.

5. Bequeathal of Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine and Holy Salt

On this day, True Father also called Korean church leaders, 50 Japanese leaders, and 4 leaders from each continent including the continental directors, and carried out the "Bequeathal of Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine and Holy Salt," which are to be used in the era of Cheon Il Guk. Each continental director will distribute to each nation the holy wine and holy salt that were given to them by True Parents in person. The leaders of each nation should follow the following rules when using the Cheon Il Guk holy wine and holy salt.

1) Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine

i) Meaning

a. Until now, the holy wine was the holy wine of the era of indemnity, and Cheon Il Guk holy wine is the holy wine with which to enter the Nation of the Fourth Israel.

b. Cheon Il Guk holy wine is the holy wine to completely settle Cheon Il Guk. As such, it brings us through the course of the Rebirth Ceremony (from the time the baby is in the womb until two years of age; in case of the child being in the womb the holy wine is drunk by the mother), Resurrection Ceremony (from 3 years up to 16 years of age), and Eternal Life Ceremony (Holy wedding [blessing] ceremony from 17 years of age onward), and newly makes our blood into that of the blood lineage of goodness.

c. All blessed families and second generation, in beginning the new era, are to drink this holy wine while receiving new understanding and making a new determination.

d. As the meaning of Cheon Il Guk holy wine is completion, if we fall after drinking the holy wine, there is no forgiveness.

e. Those who may be separated or divorced due to a mistake after the Blessing can be restored as blessed families through repenting, receiving the Cheon Il Guk holy wine and making a new beginning (they must make the appropriate indemnity conditions).

ii) Who can take it: All blessed families and second generation, blessing ceremony participants, relatives and tribe members receiving the blessing, participants at the Jerusalem Declaration, Washington Declaration and Seoul Peace Declaration (Including participants of the Lasting Love Conference).

iii) Multiplication method: Same as the multiplication method of the already existing holy wine.

iv) For reference: As the already-existing holy wine is the root of all holy wine, if it is used along with the Cheon Il Guk holy wine it is not a problem. However, as this is a new age, it is good to use the Cheon il Guk holy wine.

v) Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine Ceremony for the Blessed Families

a. Who can take it: all blessed families and blessed children

b. How to take the holy wine

1) Wife stands on the right, husband on the left. Children stand next to the husband in order of birthday, oldest to youngest.

2) Husband and wife and children receive one glass of holy wine each

3) Husband and wife stand facing each other. Husband and wife bow to each other and drink half of the holy wine from their glasses. They then exchange glasses and the husband and wife drink the remaining holy wine in the glass they received from their spouse.

4) Children drink their holy wine, if possible all at once (they do not share it with anyone else).

5) In the case of a couple where one spouse has died or, where one person on earth was blessed with another in the spirit world, or in the case of a single-person blessing, the person on earth first drinks half of the holy wine and, after a while, drinks the remaining portion of the wine with the thought that they are drinking the holy wine from the position of their spouse in the spirit world.

2) Cheon Il Guk Holy Salt

From this point on, when we are going to use the Cheon Il Guk holy salt, we should sprinkle the holy salt three times as in the past, and pray, "I sanctify [this] in the name of the Cosmic Parent and the Parents of Heaven and Earth, the True Children's families, and [your name], owner of Cheon Il Guk."
