The speech reminded us of the Peace Message from the Inauguration of UPF, also telling us that we must become as one under God to create a family through peace activities.

'We are in an era to perfect the Blessing Providence through the 5 stages of Individual, Family, Tribal, and Nation, during the Age after the Coming of Heaven'. True Father also said it's the era of finding the true lineage that Adam lost through the Fall.
