The Words of the Inose Family |
Brothers and sisters around America:
From February 16 to 19, 2010, I visited Korea to attend the ceremonies as the representative of brothers and sisters in America. I keenly felt that the ceremonies in Korea from February 14 to 21 were the ones to start at the completely new level for the completion of Cheon Il Guk on January 13, 2013.
First of all, True Parents proclaimed the message "God's Kingdom of Cheon Il Guk that Attends God Who Is Opening the Eternal and Unchanging Era of the Heavenly Calendar" on February 19 at the True Parents' Birthday Celebration. True Father expressed his serious heart by saying,
"As of today I take my first steps toward the hundredth year of my life. I have been blessed with a long life, beyond the average lifespan in this world… However, the life that my wife and I have led is not a life that can be perceived in such a worldly way. We have had to complete the mission of the actual True Parents who received that seal from God, who is Himself the true parent of all humankind. Now, with three years remaining in this mission, we are leading each day of our lives with more seriousness than ever before… We can no longer postpone or prolong the fulfillment of His wish. I have already proclaimed that January 13, 2013 will be a "Foundation Day." That day will be the actual beginning and birth of God's kingdom, which in Korean we call Cheon Il Guk. Yet, only three years remain."
He also said,
"As part of preparing for that time (January 13, 2013), a few days ago on February 14, I proclaimed to all of heaven and earth the start of the new 'heavenly calendar.' The Gregorian calendar and lunar calendar shall now stand in the position of Cain and Abel and serve the role of supporting the heavenly calendar by which we will record and indicate the progress of God's providence."
In order to deeply understand and practice what True Parents expect us, the Blessed Central Families, I would like to consider the ceremonies in Korea this time.
January 1, 2010 of the heavenly calendar (February 14, 2010 of the Gregorian calendar) was the commemorative day to start to celebrate all church holidays centering on the lunar calendar, which was a direction of True Parents. True Parents united the Gregorian calendar and lunar calendar and proclaimed the "heavenly calendar" centering on the lunar calendar. Mr. and Mrs. Hyung Jin Moon, International President of Unificationism, offered the representative prayer report saying,
"In 2010, True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity decided the lunar calendar as the heavenly calendar. They let us start anew overcoming the 6000-year history of regret and sorrow which had continued from the Fall."
Father could not speak because he had spoken for 12 and half hours at Hoon Dok Hae on the previous day and his voice had become hoarse. Therefore, the video of Father's recent words was shown for 17 minutes. The summary of True Father's words is as follows.
(a) True Father's words that he proclaimed on January 19 and 20 at the 20th visit to Las Vegas
"What should have been done in the 7 years from 1945 to 1952 was postponed, but now it can be concluded. January 13, 2013 will be the actual beginning and birth of Cheon Il Guk. It is the "Foundation Day." Today is January 19, so 1089 days remain until the "Foundation Day."
By that day in God's providence, education has to be completed. Then, when the spiritual world and physical world are united with Adam as Cain and Abel, we can enter into the era of God's total authority. If we live exactly following the education materials, everything will finish. The education materials made with which you will educate people in each country during this period have already been. Therefore, if you push people to learn the materials in a system stronger than that of a war regime, God's fatherland and hometown of freedom will be established as the peaceful world, which is just the opposite of the Satanic world.
(b) True Father's words spoken in the airplane in the sky of the Kamchatka Peninsula on January 23
You need to educate about what I proclaimed at my 20th visit to Las Vegas this year. Now is the time when we can welcome God to the world and start anew. The Abel UN will start in earnest.
(c) True Father's benediction and words at Cheon Jeong Gung Museum on February 7 when he offered the education materials to heaven
I have accomplished everything. Father, now I offer the education materials to heaven, which represent everything in the spiritual and physical worlds. Please accept them. In a loud voice! Please accept them! (Please accept them!) Thank you very much.
In order for God to become the king of peace, True Parents, who have not been connected with God, should be connected with God by the process that Abel wins the Cain world and Cain absolutely serves Abel instead of sacrificing Abel. In history, Cain has made Abel shed blood, so now Cain should welcome his younger brother to the position of completion before the Fall. Then, Cain, the elder brother, needs to attend his younger brother as the representative of True Parents and True God. From today on, the struggle of Cain and Abel is finished. Abel who had been killed by Cain, revived. For the first time, True Parents restored the elder brother who killed, and also restored True Parents and God who were chased away after the elder son. Then they restored the macrocosm. Why did I say, "Become the king of the family and tribe. Distribute 430 copies of True Father's autobiography on behalf of True Parents"? If they read this book 10 or 100 times during the three years, they will not deny us any more. So, try it. Do you try it, or not? (We will try it.) Try it from today.
(a) Pledge Service
At 8:40 am, Rev. Peter Kim read True Father's words titled God's Fatherland given at True Parents' Birthday on February 21, 1980 (lunar January 6) at World Mission Center in New York, and closed reading by True Father's prayer at True Parents' Birthday on February 14, 2005 (lunar January 6). Then, when Father gave a speech, he said in the beginning,
"The title of my speech today is 'God's Kingdom of Cheon Il Guk that Attends God Who Is Opening the Eternal and Unchanging Era of the Heavenly Calendar.' It is not people, family, or nation which attends God. God became the God of sorrowfulness because He could not have His Kingship. So, this title is good. The title includes 'the Eternal and Unchanging Era of the Heavenly Calendar.' It is the history of heaven, not of humanity."
(b) True Father's words read by Rev. Peter Kim at the Pledge Service: God's Fatherland (2/21/1980)
True Father did not give his speech by himself this time. However, in God's Fatherland read by Rev. Peter Kim, True Parents emphasized that they hoped for our activities of Home Church, Tong Ban Kyeok Pa, Hoon Dok Family Church, and Tribal Messiah centering on True Father's autobiography during these 3 years.
Excerpts from God's Fatherland in the book "God's Will and the World"
"The true dispensation cannot appear on earth unless an individual, family, tribe, and nation can practice the principle of loving their enemy. Until such a nation appears, you cannot talk about the Kingdom of God on earth. … All we have to do is practice this principle (of loving our enemy). … You will practice this in your Home Church providence. That is the base of the Kingdom of Heaven. That is where you can learn to bear the burden and taste God's tears and broken heart."
(c) The Commemorative Luncheon
From 11:00 am, there was the commemorative luncheon at the main hall of Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center with about 1200 participants of leaders from the world and the representatives of our church. Among many congratulatory letters, the messages of President Obama and Rev. Stephen John Thurston, the president of the National Baptist Convention of America were introduced.
At 11:40 am, Jose de Venecia, Jr., the former speaker of House of Representatives of the Philippines, delivered a congratulatory address, expressing his deep emotion when he saw the blessing ceremony on February 17. He also testified that he and his wife attended the blessing ceremony on October 14 last year at Sun Moon University.
At 12:05 pm, Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, International President of Unificationism, gave a welcoming address in English for about 9 minutes, testifying to True Parents in front of the world leaders gathered there. He said,
"True Parents are not just normal individuals. When I learned world religions, I studied the founders of religions. These individuals are, of course, people, but much more than that."
He explained the persecution in the lives of Jesus, Buddha, and Muhammad were the common pattern in Saints' lives. He testified to True Parents as the "Messiah, Savior, and Lord of the Second Advent," and said,
"We can see the same pattern in True Parents' lives. They have experienced imprisonments 6 times and the 7th one was the miraculous helicopter accident. We need to see these as the hands of God."
At 12:20 pm, Rev. Peter Kim read Father's speech "God's Kingdom of Cheon Il Guk that Attends God Who Is Opening the Eternal and Unchanging Era of the Heavenly Calendar" for about 15 minutes on behalf of True Father. At 12:36 pm, Mr. Kook Jin Moon, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Unification Business Group, gave a massage in English saying,
"Today, we, Unificationists, stand proud and confident in our future. I would like to offer my confession of faith. My parents are not just my parents. They are my spiritual father and mother, my lord, and savior from whom I received God's grace"
and proposed a toast at the beginning of luncheon.
Now, I would like to talk about our attitude for the 3-year course centering on True Parents.
(a) Concentrating only on True Parents -- In Jin Nim's sermon (12/27/09) (from In Jin Nim's Monthly Journal 16 in Korean)
When we look at my father physically, he is an old man. He's past 90 years of age, and he needs help to come onstage. But when we look at our True Father with spiritual eyes, we realize that he is not like a 90-year-old man. He is truly the new light that we've been waiting for. If we compare True Parents with society's norms or the physical world norms, we can easily end up just like Judas, and waste our lives.
Whenever we are going through difficult times, we must tap into our own divinity and our own relationship with Heavenly Parent. We must clearly know that there is only one True Parents. Our True Parents will be eternal, and the True Children's job is to inherit their love and to be great sons and daughters of God.
So we need to be joyful, be grateful, and rejoice in the fact that we have our True Parents here with us. It doesn't matter where they are. A lot of people are saying, "When Father ascends to spirit world, then what will happen?" Anybody who believes in the spirit world knows that when Father ascends to the spirit world, he will probably be more with us than he is now, becoming more accessible to each and every one of us. All you have to do is simply pray, meditate, commune with the divinity within, and our Father will be with you every step of the way.
Whenever we are confronted with
difficulty, the only thing we need to do is concentrate on True
Parents. We need to know how incredibly blessed we are to have them
in our lives now. Understanding how valuable they are, we have the
job and responsibility to go forth and reach out to the other
brothers and sisters who are waiting for the opportunity to know True
Parents in their lifetime.
(Summarized from the website of FFWPU
USA)
(b) From Dr. Seuk's Lecture at World Church Leaders' Conference
Dr. Seuk said,
"What an amazing miracle it is that the lifetime of True Parents, who are the Messiah, Savior, and King of Kings of humanity, coincides with ours, and that we and they breathe the same air and bask in the same sun in the same era! Also, How wonderful it is that we can march forward with True Parents in the providence of establishing Cheon Il Guk, which will be a foundation of the eternal peaceful world! In order to establish Cheon Il Guk, we got the mission from True Parents. Let's fulfill our mission of the completion of Cheon Bok Gung, settlement of the True Parent UN, popularizing the Education Materials, and Tribal Messiah activity through spreading True Father's autobiography. We have to evangelize more than 51% of the whole people in Korea by January 13, 2013."
(c) Establishing the Tradition of Hoon Dok Hae Centering on 8 Education Materials
"I already have prepared the last words I will give to humankind. These words have been prepared based on my triumphs over more than six life-or-death situations during periods of unjust imprisonment I have experienced during my life. I have left behind eight different volumes of books as the textbooks and teaching materials for humankind for all eternity.
These include, among 1,200 volumes, The Sermons of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Divine Principle, Cheon Seong Gyeong, Pyung Hwa Shingyeong (The Peace Messages) and the Family Pledge. Then there is the booklet True Families: The Gateway to Heaven, my speech Owner of Peace, Owner of Lineage, and a comparative anthology, "World Scriptures." …
You should now set up the tradition of
Hoon Dok Hae centering on your family; that is, the tradition where
three generations of a family start each day by reading the words of
Heaven, practicing that with a new mind. Let's create a world where
the spirit world and the earthly world can both attend True Parents
at the same time, and read the words of the heavenly path
together."
(From True Father's Speech on 2/19/10)
(d) True Father's Autobiography
"…last year, my memoirs,
which contain an honest and candid account of my life, were
published. Through this book I have clearly shown where you can find
God's will for humanity and the path that human beings, as God's
children, should follow. My life has been a typical model of the
saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again."
I have as much faith in this book as in the hoondok textbooks I have
mentioned. For this reason, I recommend my autobiography to you,
believing that it will show you about leading life according to true
principles. It does not subtract or add anything to the ninety years
of my life, which I have led under Heaven's decree. I pray you will
carefully read this record of true love and find great
inspiration."
(From True Father's Speech on 2/19/10)
True Parents said to us,
"If blessed families practice distributing the autobiography to 430 families, they can not only make a condition of indemnity for their insufficiency or failure in the past, but also make a foundation of the Tribal Messiah, and then the way of establishing God's fatherland will be opened. Absolutely Good Spirits in the spiritual world also cooperate with us in the frontline in order to fulfill the purpose."
Now, let's start anew to fulfill God's will in America, being united with True Parents! We will start the Kodan condition of sincere devotion in March 2010 as follows. I pray that many brothers and sisters would participate in this.
