Providentially important proclamations and ceremonies
True Parents victoriously established numerous substantial indemnity conditions during their lives, by which they liberated those in the spirit world and unified the spirit world.
A series of proclamation ceremonies they conducted through many stages concluded the providence of restoration. Most importantly, they accomplished God's liberation.
These proclamation ceremonies, which unfolded step by step and were preceded by True Parents' investment of heart and effort, focused on concluding the providence of restoration and liberating God: Ceremony of Total Liberation (May 1, 1975, Cheongpyeong Training Center), Unification Ceremony (January 31, 1976, Cheongpa-dong), Ceremony to Proclaim the Unity and Liberation of the Moon Tribe and the World Tribe (November 2, 1978, Cheongpyeong Training Center), Spirit World and Physical World Unification Ceremony (February 22, 1982, East Garden), Proclamation of the Day of Opening the Gate to Heaven (February 1, 1985, Danbury Prison), Proclamation of the Foundation Day of the Nation of the Unified World (October 3, 1988, Il Hwa Yongin Factory), Proclamation of the Parents of Heaven and Earth (February 27, 1990, Hannam-dong house), Proclamation of the Liberated Realm of the Spirit World (November 17, 1990, Hannam-dong house), Proclamation of Chil Il Jeol (7-1 Day), the Day of God's Eternal Blessing (July 1, 1991, Hannam-dong house), Proclamation of the Unification of the Cosmos (October 26, 1992, Kodiak, Alaska), Proclamation of Complete Liberation for the Cosmic Expansion of the Marriage Blessing and the Rooting Out of Satan's Lineage (January 8, 1999, Punta del Este, Uruguay), Proclamation of the Liberation of the Cosmos (May 14, 1999, Pantanal, Brazil), The Total Liberation Chuseok (September 12, 2000, East Garden), Ceremony for the Unification and Liberation of the Spirit World (October 14, 2000, Cheongpyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center), Proclamation of the Abolition of Paradise and Hell and Registration in the Kingdom of Heaven (December 3, 2000, Punta del Este, Uruguay), Proclamation of the Total Unity of the Spirit World and the Physical World (March 1, 2002, Kona, Hawaii), Ceremony for Dissolving God's 6,000-Year History of Bitter Sorrow (April 4, 2002, East Garden and Cheongpyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center), Proclamation of the Realm of Unity and Secure Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth (June 11, 2002, Cheongpyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center), Holy Burning Ceremony for the Peace, Unity and Liberation of Heaven and Earth (October 18, 2002, Hannam-dong house), Ceremony for Total Unity (December 21, 2003, Hannam-dong house), Proclamation of the Foundation Day of the Unified Nation for the Liberation of the Cosmos (October 3, 2004, Central Training Center, Guri), and The Chuseok for the Liberation of Heaven and Earth (September 18, 2005, East Garden).
After the Proclamation of the Day of God's Eternal Blessing on July 1, 1991 (Chil Il Jeol), the course leading up to accomplishing oneness in heart, oneness in body and oneness harmonizing with God was truly a pilgrimage through blood, sweat, and tears.
The proclamations in this section should be viewed in the context of other significant cosmic-level events in the providence.
Thus, two days after True Parents conducted the first Blessing ceremony for spirit individuals at the International Marriage Blessing of 40 Million Couples on November 29, 1997, they proclaimed the Opening of the Gate to the Marriage Blessing in the Spirit World (December 1).
On May 15, 1998, they proclaimed the Liberation of Hell and the Opening of the Gate to the Kingdom of Heaven. On June 2, 1998, they said we must perfect a system to teach the Divine Principle to the spirit world.
On June 13, 1998, they proclaimed the Unified Spiritual and Physical World Blessing Ceremony and held the first phase of the International Marriage Blessing of 360 Million Couples, including among them the greatest saints and most dreadful evildoers.
Utilizing these pronouncements and instructions, they began liberation ceremonies for ancestors on February 12, 1999, proclaimed the Day of Satan's Natural Surrender on March 21, and held the Ceremony to Proclaim the Liberation of the Cosmos on May 14.
By proclaiming Gu Gu Jeol (9-9 Day) on September 9, 1999, which signified the cosmic liberation and unification of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, the True Parents demolished the walls between the earthly and heavenly worlds that had been blocked as a result of Satan's influence.
The next morning, September 10, at 10:10, True Parents dedicated the numbers from 1 to 10 to Heaven through the Sam Shib Jeol (3-10 Day). They declared that this was completely cleared up and restored through indemnity in the ages of the Old Testament, New Testament, and Completed Testament.
On October 23, 1999, True Parents proclaimed the Day of the Blessing and Liberation of All Heaven and Earth, and on October 24, the arrival of the Age of the Authority of the Fourth Adam.
From the position of the perfected Adam who achieved one body with God, on November 7, they dedicated the Cheongpyeong Training Center main hall as the Cheonseong Wanglim Palace. On December 12, 1999, ancestor liberation ceremonies began.
On June 29, 2000, True Parents proclaimed the Cosmic Restoration Ceremony.
On that foundation, on January 13, 2001, they conducted the Enthronement Ceremony for God's Kingship.
On September 12, 2005, they inaugurated the Universal Peace Federation on the foundation of having proclaimed the Liberation and Complete Freedom of the Angelic World on April 10, 2004, and the Era After the Coming of Heaven at Ssang Hab Shib Seung Il on May 5, 2004.
On June 13, 2006, they conducted the Cheon Jeong Gung Palace Entrance Ceremony and Coronation of True Parents as the King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and on Earth.
On this foundation, on April 3, 2007, True Parents embarked on a world-speaking tour and proclaimed the Dawn of the New Civilization of Universal Peace.
Then, on July 8, 2010, they proclaimed that they had accomplished complete oneness with God and realized the perfection of God as God's substantial object partners this was at the Cosmic Assembly for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, Who as God's Embodiment, Proclaim the Word.
On the 3rd day of the 7th month by the heavenly calendar (August 2) in 2011, they announced the Accomplishment of the Ultimate Goal of Restoration, and on the 17 " and 18th day of the 11th month (December 11 and 12), the Day to Commemorate the Highest Victory of Cheon Il Guk, they officially announced to the world the completion and conclusion of God's providence of restoration.
1. If Jesus had gone to the Roman Senate and proclaimed, “I am the Messiah!” he would not have been persecuted. The Romans could not have opposed him. Had they done so, it would have become a worldwide issue, going beyond any opposition Rome could mount. If they had opposed him, they would have suffered punishment. Therefore, I had to make proclamations.
If I did not make them while I climbed, I could have plummeted down. This is why throughout my life I have always made proclamations. I seal my accomplishments. I must seal them, so the water will not seep out.
Because I proclaimed the Ceremony to Congratulate the Parents of Heaven and Earth on their Cosmic-Level Victory, no one could object when I proclaimed, “God is liberated!” I had earned the right to say that. I fulfilled the liberation of True Parents and the liberation of all people, opening the age of God's total authority.
Hence, Satan has no authority to deny my proclamation. He cannot accuse me in front of God. My authority has nothing to do with the dominion of Satan, which is below the realm of dominion based on accomplishments through the Principle.
This is why I could proclaim that we were entering the age when God is all-transcendent and all-immanent, having all authority and all power. I needed to proclaim it. (310-142, 1999/06/15)
2. As True Parents, we must proclaim the age when God will have dominion by love. If we do not do that, we will not be able to recover what Satan has taken away. We must anchor these moments firmly so that God may reassert His dominion of love over the realm based on accomplishments through the Principle, that Satan has controlled. If we do not anchor them into the ground, we cannot bring about restoration.
It is True Parents who are returning what the false parent Satan destroyed to the standard of the dominion of heaven's love. If we do not establish such days, we cannot stand where God can indemnify the false parent's destruction.
Because Adam and Eve fell through false love, centering on the love of True Parents, I must proclaim that we have transitioned from the realm Satan dominates to the realm God dominates. (132-097, 1984/05/20)
3. I must put up signs declaring God's victories in the course of providential history. I must proclaim them. For people to be able to differentiate between two countries, the location of the border has to be clear, and then the existence of that border has to be announced. In the same way, True Parents must come to the place where God and Satan are fighting and drive a boundary maker into the ground. Satan cannot remove that marker; nor can God.
Based on this, we are leading a movement to expand our territory, with heavenly fortune mobilizing the spirit world and the religious realm on Earth to prepare the environment. These efforts will bring about the transformation of the structures of history. (319-076, 2000/03/17)
4. We, as True Parents, have made many proclamations. Once a proclamation is made, Satan cannot invade it. By making these proclamations, I have come to the center. I proclaimed that I have bound together heaven and earth.
Even God could not do that. If God could have done it, He would have done it long ago. Because Adam could not fulfill his responsibility, the True Father, who came as the perfected Adam, is fulfilling it. Once the name True Parents is affixed, no one will be able to remove it. (330-011, 2000/08/12)
5. Satan cannot block what I, the True Father, have proclaimed. He must acknowledge it as an authorized fact. Once I proclaim something, a boundary is created that blocks Satan, and his world cannot infiltrate that boundary. God guarantees it.
Hence, I have made many proclamations and because of them, Satan is finished. (383-280, 2002/06/29)
Ceremony of Total Liberation
6. The time has come when we can connect the nations and the world. When, based on this world-level foundation, we can connect that foundation's spiritual aspect to the spirit world, the spirit world will finally be connected as well.
In the spirit world, Koreans and Japanese are not connected. People there belong to their nation, and even if you want them to take the one global path and ask them to go somewhere, they cannot take that path. Unless this is solved on earth, it will not be cleared away in the spirit world.
Therefore, in the spirit world, the Japanese, and Koreans remain enemies. Japanese and Chinese are also enemies. Bearing this in mind, how many spirits there are enemies to one another?
That is why on May 1, 1975, I conducted the Ceremony of Total Liberation. It was a ceremony to liberate and forgive everyone. It even opened a way to liberate Satan.
By the Ceremony of Total Liberation, no one should have enemy relationships any longer and everyone has to forgive one another.
Therefore, there should be no more enemies. The time for unity has come.
What happens when the earth and the spirit world become one? The Fall led to a state in which the spirit world and earth are separated.
This is because God and Adam and Eve were separated in heart. That is why it is logical to say that once Adam and Eve's family, clan, tribe, nation, and world become one on earth and in the spirit world, the global realm of unity will be established. (083-110, 1976/02/05)
7. Since God can now descend to earth as He desires, all those in the spirit world can come straight to earth. Therefore, there is no opposition. Until now, because of their different religions and denominations, they have all been blocking one another from coming into their realms.
The gates will open and people will be able to move horizontally and vertically, but that can only happen when those in high positions settle the matter and announce it. That had not been done.
However, now, after the Ceremony of Total Liberation, both God and the True Parents will be able to come at the same time. Then, good kings and leaders of faith in the spirit world will be able to come.
Satan has been on the evil side, but that will change. Since all spirits know that anyone who opposes us will remain in hell for eternity, they will no longer oppose but strive to go to heaven. All of them are required to leave their guns behind and liberate even Satan. Accordingly, his evil sovereignty will collapse, even without his knowing it.
For this reason, during this third seven-year course, I swept across the United States, spurring the spiritual fortune of world Christianity. I have now returned to Korea. I have gone beyond the national, and spiritual level, reaching the global level, and have brought that fortune with me.
Now I can connect it to the physical national level. Then, based on the foundation of that worldwide spiritual victory, I can connect it to the worldwide physical foundation and prepare a starting point in world history to completely indemnify everything spiritually and physically. In this way, we can enter a new level.
(078-224, 1975/05/25)
Unification Ceremony
8. I held the Unification Ceremony on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month of 1976. In the course of restoration, we need to perfect the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, and world.
We need to align them all in a straight line. I did that work based on the levels of the individual, family, tribe, people, and nation on earth, but the spirit world has not been connected to them. It has not been connected even to the foundation of the Unification Church family.
Although a road was paved, it was not connected to the spirit world. Therefore, I had to connect it, first to the spirit world and then to earth. Only by doing that, was I able to conduct the Unification Ceremony. (083-109, 1976/02/05)
9. In January 1976, I came to Korea to indemnify all the history. Accordingly, the Unification Ceremony was held on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month.
Until now, we human beings have not been able to have the beginning point of unity that would enable any nation to start from a victorious foundation, either in the spiritual world or in the physical world. I came to Korea to hold that ceremony.
There are people in the world who call themselves people of God, or children of God. However, they have never been able to welcome True Parents' Birthday. This is because they do not have the qualifications to welcome such a day.
The spirits in the spirit world also left this world without having been able to welcome that day. Since this is the case, they cannot call themselves the people of the heavenly kingdom.
Even the angels in the angelic world have not had the opportunity to take part in the realm of perfected Adam because they have not been able to welcome True Parents' Birthday. That is why I held the ceremony that gave all people in both the spiritual world and physical world a privileged opportunity to commemorate True Parents' Birthday, with True Parents at the center. True Parent's Birthday created that opportunity. (084-152, 1976/02/22)
Ceremony to Proclaim The Unity and Liberation of the Moon Tribe and the World Tribe
10. Up to now, I have torn down numerous walls in the spirit world. Based on God's love, I also have torn down walls dividing peoples and races on earth. On the 1st day of the 1st lunar month of 1976, I opened the gates between all religions and religious denominations in the spirit world. Now it is time to open the gates between nations.
The gates between religions have been opened, but one gate remained unopened. That is the gate to the tribe. I had not opened the gates between tribes. So, I was compelled to hold the Ceremony to Liberate the Moon Tribe and All Tribes of the World to unify and liberate them from their bitter sorrow.
Thereby, I opened the gates among the numerous tribes as well as the realms of faith. With the opening of the gates between tribes, the opening of the gates between nations will come automatically. That time is coming.
With the opening of those gates, spiritual seers from the olden days and the spirits of people who had departed while believing in religion can cooperate with the Abel realm, from the position of the archangel, for the course of the providence of restoration on earth.
Those works were formerly possible in certain religions only; but by tearing down the walls in the physical world and widening the scope to include other religions as well, the paths are open on which all spirits, believers, and non-believers alike, can come to earth and lead their descendants toward goodness.
(105-264, 1979/10/26)
11. We are expanding the work of indemnity on behalf of the world from the level of the individual to those of the family, tribe, people, nation, and world. This happens in three stages: The first is formation, based on the couple. The second is growth, based on the family.
The third is completion, based on the tribe. From the perspective of the home church, we see the tribe as the formation stage, the people as the growth stage, and the nation as the completion stage. This means that by doing home church, members will have to restore all nations.
Next, from the perspective of the nation, there are three stages the nation, the physical world, and the spiritual world. We need to restore these worlds in three stages.
The Principle teaches that the number ten is reached by passing through the three stages of formation, growth, and completion, with three numbers one, two, and three in each stage. True Parents carry out the work of restoration through indemnity with such an understanding in their minds.
Such have been the missions by which True Parents are leading the providence of restoration. After making indemnity conditions for these missions, they returned to Korea. That is why we are doing the work in Korea, as it is the base for meeting all the required conditions.
Hence, on November 2, 1978, we held the Ceremony to Proclaim the Liberation of the Moon Tribe and All Tribes of the World. With this ceremony, we connect everyone. With all the barriers gone, all spirits can travel freely. With the barriers gone, they can go anywhere they desire and enter into reciprocal relationships.
Therefore, mobilizing spirits to earth is up to you. People on earth are like Adam, and spirits in the spirit world are like archangels. Now you need to give orders to the good spirits among your ancestors because, as you know, they have the responsibility of angels.
You are the ancestor of those ancestors, and this is their restoration. It starts with you because you are their ancestor. The restoration of your ancestors occurs through you.
You are their beginning point. Since you are their ancestor, you must take responsibility for them. You are responsible for the past, present, and future. You are personally responsible for the three ages. (102-030, 1978/11/19)
Spiritual World and Physical World Unification Ceremony
12. I conducted the Spiritual World and Physical World Unification Ceremony, starting with the internal realm of Christianity. This took place on February 22, 1982.
It concluded 33 years since my imprisonment in North Korea on February 22, 1948, after which I entered South Korea in December 1950. So we start from there. These 33 years are equivalent to the 33 years of Jesus' life.
After indemnifying this, we had to establish in the world the spiritual foundation and the physical foundation. For this, we had to set the standard for indemnity both in the flesh and spirit. We must go beyond the national level and do it on the worldwide level. The day we did this was February 22, 1982.
The 34th year signifies the time when Jesus, had he not died, would have begun anew. We are entering the realm of his resurrection. Because I indemnified this, the persecution will soon be gone. (117-260, 1982/03/28)
13. Everything has to be completed within seven years from 1982. By then we need to overcome even the communist world. In the democratic world, Christianity will be revised, and a movement to reconstruct morals and ethics will take place. You may not be aware of it, but I have been making all the necessary preparations.
When is a good time for members of the Unification Church to become one in heart? All Unification Church members need to be of one heart and one mind-set as we face the court battles in the United States. Thereafter, we will enter the age in which we can counter from the leading position when others oppose us.
(117-262, 1982/03/28)
Proclamation of the Day of Opening the Gate to Heaven
14. The United States sent me to prison in Danbury. Inside the prison, on February 1, 1985, I established the Day of Opening the Gate to Heaven. If I had not gone to the United States, I would not have made the way to open the gates to heaven and hell.
Furthermore, I could not have done it had I not gone to prison. Satan put me in prison and thought he had accomplished his hope, but I did not die. Instead, I opened the gates to heaven and hell and made it possible for them to connect.
However, this does not mean that people in hell can go to heaven as they please. It means that now a way exists for the good ancestors in heaven to come down to hell on earth, educate their descendants, and pull them to heaven. Walls surrounded hell, and good ancestors in heaven could not go there, but now a path has opened.
I broke down the walls that blocked the way the wall blocking the mind from the body in individuals, and the wall blocking the way between man and woman. I tore down all those walls, which had their roots in Satan's love. I brought them down with God's original love.
That is why the gate of the family, the gate of the clan, and the gate of the tribe are now open. (140-036, 1986/02/01)
Proclamation of the Foundation Day of the Nation of the Unified World
15. When you connect your brothers and sisters in your hometown with your church brothers and sisters in each country, the world will be interconnected automatically.
Korea and Japan need to take the lead in this. Adam and Eve must become one. For this unity, Japan and Korea have to become one first. Then the United States and Korea, and Germany and the Soviet Union, have to become one.
These four nations established foundations on both the Cain and Abel sides, as the fruit of True Parents' work on the world level. That is why the victorious foundation for the kingdom of heaven can finally be established.
The first step is the unity of Korea and Japan, and the second is the unity of the United States and Korea, and Germany and the Soviet Union. Then, the world of unity will begin to emerge through the unity of American Christianity and the Korean Unification Church. This is the third step.
The fourth is that Christianity and the Christian cultural realm, being in the position of Abel, must win over the communist world with its Dialectical Materialism and join with the world that recognizes the human spirit.
The fifth is the unity of the spirit world and the earthly world, by connecting them. The sixth step is to fulfill the responsibility of indemnity for the providence, which we have fulfilled as True Parents.
As these responsibilities are fulfilled, the family will be able to enter the realm of perfection. With that, Satan's world can no longer exist. On these foundations for the liberated world, perfected families can be finally formed. Not only that, the realm of perfected tribes, peoples, nations, and the world will be formed.
Satan will find no value in his existence, which means that the world will be liberated. That is why the seventh step is the start of the kingdom of heaven on earth, and the eighth is the start of the realization of the kingdom of heaven on earth and the kingdom of heaven in heaven on the levels of the family, the nation, and the world.
Finally, the ideal world in which two become one in love will unfold both in heaven and on earth. Therefore, on this day, October 3, 1988, I declare the Foundation Day of the Nation of the Unified World, based on all the contents of the Unification Covenant. (181-311, 1988/10/03)
Proclamation of the Parents of Heaven and Earth
16. True Parents' family is like the original trunk. You have to unite with this original trunk, which comes from the original root. Henceforth, you should not engraft to that which is different but engraft to the same kind. By engraving to the same kind, you will be of the same clan.
In the past, Cain and Abel were different kinds. Cain was cut off from the seed of heaven, while Abel, being on heaven's side, was connected to that seed by being engrafted. So their clans were different. But now, all people can be relatives, members of the same clan. Children can be engrafted from their parents.
Engrafting is easy. As long as they do not oppose it, both parents and children can unite right away. Wild olive tree seeds and true olive tree seeds are different, and thus engrafting was difficult. But now it is easy to graft among true olive trees. They can naturally connect.
That is why on February 27, 1990, I declared that the True Parents are the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
We need to do this throughout the nation and then have a ceremony to declare the royal authority. That is how we can be settled. Once we are settled in that position, a wonderful time will arrive.
Blessed families' ancestors in the spirit world, which is like the angelic world, will come quickly and cooperate with them. They are supposed to come and protect them. In the heavenly kingdom, in the original world of God's ideal of creation, the archangels were supposed to always cooperate with Adam.
Likewise, once I declare the royal authority of the heavenly kingdom, we will enter an age in which good spirits will always cooperate with the royal clan and Satan will disappear. (200-342, 1990/02/27)
Proclamation of the Liberated Realm of the Spirit World
17. What did I pray for on November 17, 1990, on the 31st celebration of Children's Day, marking a full 30 years after it was established? I prayed, “Now everything has been liberated.”
I proclaimed the liberation of the spirit world. When True Parents proclaim something, it matters. Until now, we lived in the age when the spirit world in the position of Cain could take advantage of the physical world, Abel.
Therefore, people who communicated with spirits or were otherwise in contact with the spiritual world exploited the realm of Abel, the physical world. However, because we, True Parents, set up a victorious foundation according to the principle of restoration through indemnity, and restored the authority of the elder son, Abel is now in the position of the older brother.
The archangel was created first, but he was in the position to submit to Adam and protect him. Due to the Fall of human beings, however, the Devil claimed the authority of the elder son and has gotten his way with the world of immature human beings on earth.
That is why those in the spirit world connect with Earth to take advantage of their earthly descendants. This amounts to Cain killing Abel and making him a victim.
That age has now passed. Now that Adam has restored the authority of the elder son, the age has come when the spirit world needs to submit to Adam's authority.
For that to happen, based on the foundation of having established the truth and my substantial victory in the struggle to bring the spirit world into submission, we had to make a sacrificial offering before God.
That offering was the Proclamation of the Liberated Realm of the Spirit World, which I made during the pledge service I conducted this morning.
That was the content that I prayed for.
The time has come when the current between the spirit world and the earthly world that flowed in the wrong direction needs to be corrected. As heaven has restored the authority of the elder son, the younger sons now and younger sons yet to be born are in the realm of the authority of the elder son who has been restored to the younger son.
In the age of the authority of the younger son, heaven's law allows no room for the Devil's activities to be forgiven. Until now, all spirits have taken advantage of Abel's realm on earth.
The first son killed the younger son and offered him as a sacrifice in reverse. Now, however, with the authority of the elder son restored, the Abel realm of the elder son on earth will lead even the spirit world.
The spirits there will be able to receive heaven's blessings when they work to help us; while if they oppose us, the more they do, the more they will fall into a bottomless pit. It is time for heaven's fortune to quickly change the situation. (208-153, 1990/11/17)
Proclamation of Chil Il Jeol (7-1 Day), the Day of God's Eternal Blessing
18. Now that Adam has restored the act of the archangel, who usurped the authority of the elder son, we will enter the original world where the angelic world nurtures Adam to maturity.
The spirit world will no longer be able to exploit the human world. How much it has taken advantage of and exploited humankind! It has been causing all humankind to behave just like Adam and Eve when they fell.
I am going to unify the spirit world and the human world so that the spirit world will no longer have the authority to do that. Everything will become level; True Parents and God will be the only ones who can ascend to the place of that authority.
Therefore, the spirit world's power to exploit earthly people will disappear. Let the spirit world muster all its strength; it will only collapse.
This is why I needed to make the Proclamation of the Day of God's Eternal Blessing. Being the center, we the Parents needed to do this. Since the false parent has governed the world, True Parents had to make a proclamation binding the spiritual world and the physical world in this way. This is what we did on July 1, 1991, when we proclaimed the Day of God's Eternal Blessing.
(218-033, 1991/07/01)
19. The spiritual world and the physical world have been going about as they pleased. However, from now on, they will go in the same direction. The time has come for them to return to the right path.
The fact that God has forgiven Satan means that we have entered the age of God's sovereignty. That is why I proclaimed that the world of God's victory and True Parents' glory will now arrive.
True Parents held the ceremony to proclaim the Day of God's Eternal Blessing. It was a proclamation that the age of God's victory and True Parents' glory would arrive.
Since God has triumphed, it will be known as the age of True Parents' glory. Because I have proclaimed it in front of heaven and earth, it becomes law and the spirit world will be governed by it. (218-056, 1991/07/01)
Proclamation of the Unification of the Cosmos
20. When Jesus was 33 years old, heaven and earth should have united with him, and the nation of Israel should have united with him. That would have made for a new start, but it did not happen.
The new world that did not happen then finally came to pass on the 33rd Children's Day in 1992. This marked True Parents' liberation. More than that, everything that had happened on earth in the age of indemnity centering on True Father was brought to victory, and based on that foundation I am presenting True Mother to the world.
This is what is happening at the assemblies of the Women's Federation for World Peace that are taking place in Korea, Japan, and the United States. Now Mother is in Los Angeles, and I am in the north. Yet because we are partners with each other, we can link that assembly to Asia, with me at the center.
Therefore, today is also the day when we can celebrate the symbolic connecting of subject partners and object partners, and of the East and the West. The final things we prayed for today were to declare the unity of all beings in the spiritual world and the physical world and to proclaim the unity of True Parents on earth.
(235-339, 1992/10/26)
21. Now even your children are going over the world-level path of the providence, representing Jesus. I am making this substantial proclamation based on your families that received the Blessing.
That is why today, October 26, 1992, is an important day that heaven and earth can commemorate. This is the day when the Parent in heaven and Parents on earth become one, based on the 33 years of Jesus' life on earth.
I am proclaiming that based on the foundation we, True Parents, have laid in the nation and the world, you are to live according to the standard of children who represent Jesus and advance toward becoming representatives of heaven and earth.
By this proclamation of the unification of heaven and earth, people who have lived as they desired, in families and a world confused, can unite and move toward perfecting a new, ideal world. No one knows when spring will arrive exactly. Nevertheless, it begins in one place and then quickly spreads to the whole world. The same can take place in history. (235-339, 1992/10/26)
Cosmic-level Sa Sa Jeol (4-4 Day) and Proclamation of Complete Liberation for the Cosmic Expansion of the Marriage Blessing and the Rooting Out of Satan's Lineage
22. The motto of 1999 is “The cosmic expansion of the marriage Blessing and the rooting out of Satan's lineage.” The first part of the motto means that whoever ever placed anywhere in heaven or on earth can be the foundation for perfection and can expand and connect anywhere.
The second part is the “rooting out of Satan's lineage.” Yet if the body and mind do not unite, this uprooting is not possible.
In striving for mind-body unity, people could only cut off parts of the tree. They cut off branches and cut off leaves. It was possible to cut off one-third of the tree. But this time we are not only going to cut down the tree, we will pull it out by the roots.
Uprooting must be done in the family. Through mind-body unity, husband-wife unity, and unity among children, we will form absolute families. This was the import of the second of the four Jardim Declarations. There were also a third and fourth Jardim Declarations. Then came the declaration of Sa Sa Jeol (4-4 Day).
Adam's family did not reach perfection and establish the four-position foundation. Hence, their sons and daughters could not settle. That is why now that 4–4 Days have passed, we have to enter the kingdom of heaven by going through family training in Jardim.
To keep moving forward throughout this year, we must resolve to do it. We have to achieve this victory so that we can cheer for God and cheer for our family. Afterward, we can do anything, for it will be the age of living with God, whose transcendence, immanence, authority, and power are complete. (298-057, 1999/01/01)
23. Ahead on the road we, True Parents, are taking is the world in which hell has been liberated, from which Satan has disappeared, where there is no trace of Satan.
We have opened the gate to the kingdom of heaven. But opening that gate does not mean that anyone can enter as they are. Even in the spirit world people must receive education in the Principle.
This has begun happening in the spirit world. That is why I will need to go to the spirit world. There I must start a revolution, destroying and expelling what is wrong in one fell swoop.
The first phase of the 360 Million Couples International Holy Marriage Blessing, held on June 13, 1998, was the means to bless humankind, including on the one hand the major religious founders, and on the other hand Hitler and Stalin, the worst murderers in history.
There I was able to proclaim the Cosmic Expansion of the Marriage Blessing and the Rooting Out of Satan's Lineage. This would have been impossible in the secular world.
In Adam's family, when Cain and Abel fought and Cain killed Abel, how heartbroken God and Adam and Eve must have felt! Now through the Blessing, not only religious founders but also notorious murderers are included in God's family at the highest level of the world.
Things cannot be put in order by meting out punishment. That would be to expel and destroy Satan.
However, the original form of the ideal of creation cannot be established if Satan is crushed by force. We have to embrace and liberate him, have him come under all human beings, and put him in a position to protect humankind.
(315-271, 2000/02/05)
The Liberation of the Cosmos
24. March 21, 199,9 was the date when Satan, originally named Lucifer, surrendered in front of God, True Parents and humankind. Why? He responded to God's hint, “You are about to come to ruin and find yourself in a tomb where you will lament for thousands of years, so it would be better for you to repent before that time comes.” He did not give a command, but He gave him a look. Satan understood what it meant and surrendered.
Before then, the numerous spirits I blessed, including the ringleaders of World War II such as Hitler and his followers, as well as Stalin and other leading communists, were like an impenetrable fortress against Satan.
Hence, he could not invade members who received the Blessing. Indeed, what you should be most proud of under the sun is that you are blessed members. If you are proud of it and testify to it, Satan can never invade you, not for eternity.
That is why tens of millions of blessed families in the spirit world, going beyond their religions, are fighting against Satan's forces. This war is going on throughout the cosmos. (346-080, 2001/06/21)
25. Thus far, we have blessed 400 million couples. We held the 400 Million Couples Blessing based on the number 4; as a result, it became easy for all families in Satan's world to join the family of perfected Adam and enter the realm of the Blessing. Those who are pure and not yet blessed are like God's uncorrupted children, like Adam and Eve before the Fall. 1
As we enter the era when we can bless them through True Parents, what will happen to the couples who are still in the fallen realm? After the era of this Blessing, the era of the Fourth Adam's realm will come.
Finally, God, the vertical True Parent, and we, the horizontal True Parents, will permit you to transmit your uncorrupted original lineage to your sons and daughters. This is the original standard. By establishing it on earth, you can connect the original standard of unfallen Adam to the world.
By establishing this standard throughout the spiritual world and physical world, the kingdom of heaven is being established on earth and in heaven. Both worlds have been empty ever since the time of Adam, but now they will be filled all at once. Then, anything like hell will disappear. Before I go to the spirit world, I have to arrange it so that no trace of the Fall remains on earth.
At that point, all things of creation, which had been in lamentation, will for the first time be able to praise True Parents. Unlike the false parent, Satan, who made the world as it is, they should be able to praise the victory of the True Parents. Satan, all beings in heaven and on earth, and even God should be able to praise True Parents. Why? It is because the false parent found fault even with God.
To uproot that false parent and liberate everything completely – even God, even the religious realm, even the Old Testament, New Testament, and Completed Testament realms, which have existed in the world under Satan's sovereignty, and all saints and sages in the spirit world and their descendants on earth should be able to praise True Parents.
You are the descendants who represent the descendants of the three ages, Adam's descendants, Jesus' descendants, and the descendants of the Lord at the Second Advent. (302-021, 1999/05/14)
26. As the Returning Lord, I am the one who stands as the perfected Adam and the perfected Jesus, and who also completed the family. Hence, I have the authority to liberate Adam's fallen children and Jesus' spiritual children. Having done that, since I declared that everything has been liberated, the remaining issue is how to transform the spirit world into a world of blessed families.
Thus, based on your blessed families, and tribal messiahs, I blessed your ancestors in the spirit world up to the fourth generation, and now I have expanded the Blessing to the seventh generation. I am opening the path to liberate seven generations and give them the Blessing.
The era of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age is not limited to restoring only 120 generations. By giving the Blessing to up to 180 generations, all human beings will be liberated. All ancestors will be liberated. We have not done this yet because the world does not know God's providential Will.
But by spreading knowledge of it quickly through radio, television, and the Internet, we will be able to shorten the time and overcome distance, bringing oneness to build the kingdom of heaven on earth and the kingdom of heaven in heaven. (302-022, 1999/05/14)
The Total Liberation Chuseok
27. What is the Total Liberation Chuseok? Originally, the ideal of creation was that we human beings would honor our ancestors, inherit our ancestral fortune, and spread it horizontally. Due to the Fall, however, this was overturned. Instead, graves of the dead came to exist, having the appearance of lids lying on flat land.
The Bible states that in the Last Days, all the graves will be opened, and the bodies will rise. They need to be liberated. This is the ceremony to do that. The spirit world consists of three realms, high, middle, and low. Hell also has three realms, high, middle, and low.
The two worlds are divided from each other, with walls that further divide each of them. All of these walls exist due to the Fall, and we need to tear them down. So, I liberated all ancestors on the first Chuseok (the Korean holiday to honor one's ancestors) after I turned 80 years old. (332-119, 2000/09/12)
28. The Returning Lord is the last person whom Heaven sends to Satan's world. He is the culmination of all Abel figures, with the authority of the elder son, the parent, and the king.
As he accomplishes everything according to God's Will, he has to remove things like graves from the spiritual world and the physical world. He has to do this in eight stages both vertically and horizontally, based on the Pal Jeong Shik (Ceremony for the Settlement of the Eight Stages), and open the gates in every way.
Therefore, today, on Chuseok in the year 2000, at the age of 80, I am connecting all the blessed families to this ceremony, within the same boundary representing all.
Everything has been blocked because of false marriage. However, the realm of the Blessing unifying heaven and earth is complete now, based on the realm of benefit within True Parents' Blessing.
It has passed through the ages of the individual, family, tribe, and people, and the ages of the Old Testament, New Testament, and Completed Testament. This realm of liberation should be open to everyone. Then, the heart of the realm of the Fourth Adam can start from True Parents, centering on blessed families.
Accordingly, now it is no longer the age of prayer, but the age of reporting. (332-119, 2000/09/12)
Ceremony for the Unification and Liberation of the Spirit World
29. After conducting the Ceremony for the Unification and Liberation of the Spirit World today, all those in the spirit world who became the spouses of people on earth through the Blessing can now come to earth.
We are entering an age when people on earth will be able to communicate with their spouses in the spirit world through prayer. I am allowing them to live with each other.
To accomplish that, they need to share the same vision and viewpoint. In this way, based on these blessed families, the spiritual world and the physical world are coming under one system, which is possible because True Parents connected their accomplishments on earth to the spirit world.
Ancestors in the spirit world are in the position of the archangel. Since the Fall, they have been in the fallen archangel's realm; hence, they were unable to receive the Blessing. However, those who received the Blessing on earth are now the descendants of the perfected Adam. They are bonded with True Parents
lineage. Hence, their ancestors who went to the spirit world earlier than they did can become blessed families in the position of archangels.
What can happen henceforth as a result of holding this ceremony for unification?
We are entering the age when ancestors can come to earth and cooperate with blessed families. Just as the archangel was to nurture the members of Adam's family and attend them to help them all enter heaven, ancestors in the spirit world who receive the Blessing will now come to earth to protect blessed families.
That is why Satan's descendants in the earthly realm will not be able to indiscriminately attack individuals, families, tribes, and nations in the world of blessed families. (336-276, 2000/10/14)
30. Now, the spiritual world and physical world, which have been ripped into many pieces, can be brought together as one. Now that I have reached the 50th year since leaving Hungnam Prison, I can do this.
That is why I declared the Ceremony for the Unification and Liberation of the Spirit World. With me were those True Children and the blessed members who are in the spirit world, including the five world-level saints who received the Blessings of Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, Muhammad, and Socrates.
We enter the age of the great revolution of the newly liberated kingdom of heaven on earth. The five great saints, my children, and blessed families joined and held the Ceremony for the Unification and Liberation of the Spirit World. Unity requires the formation of a family. (395-009, 2002/10/14)
Proclamation of the Abolition of Paradise and Hell and Registration in the Kingdom of Heaven
31. Heavenly Father, we all need to understand how precious it is for each blessed family to bond with others according to Your Will. We understand that individuals should not live for themselves but should form families that live for the sake of the whole, for heaven and earth.
We also understand that by connecting to You through the Blessing we connect all generations to come to Your lineage. Within the bonds of the Blessing, we became part of Your love, in unity with the root, the origin; we became part of the same tree of love.
Likewise, all people should become Your branches, based on the root and the trunk, and then produce blossoms, flowers of love,e and bear the fruits of love. We want to fill the world with these fruits and realize the ideal of a family through which to build the kingdom of heaven.
For liberation, in Your name and the name of True Parents, we want to bring settlement, with the motto, “High-noon settlement” without any shadow. Therefore, I now call for the abolition of paradise and hell, which were the bases of Your sorrow. May You accept it with joy.
I have declared that True Parents, their family, and clan, the founders of the world religions, and all other saints, are liberated from the limitations of their religions and denominations.
Furthermore, Lucifer, who was the ringleader of Satan's world, has already surrendered. As a result, all blessed families in the religious realm are going about claiming all the bases that once served his forces against us.
We who follow the one main current centering on God's direction welcome the time of the Blessing as opening the grace of liberation that connects from the throne of God's heart to the royal palace on earth.
Thus, we can pioneer the direct path for liberating paradise and hell on earth and in heaven and link them to the kingdom of heaven. With all this in place, Father, please bless us. (339-017, 2000/12/03)
32. In carrying out the Blessing of the Wicked, I am an unparalleled strategist. Based on fundamental principles, I did what even God could not do, and no one else even conceived of doing.
Let's see whether I am the one who will be defeated, or others will be defeated. Let's see whether what I am trying to do will be fulfilled, or not. Because I did it with that mindset, I could do it.
On December 3, 2000, I abolished paradise and hell. How did I abolish them? I opened the gates leading out of hell and paradise and into heaven, yet still, there were groups in hell and paradise that impeded the path. So I gave all of them the Blessing.
Giving them the Blessing abolished the religious realm, and with the abolition of religion, the realm of hell below was elevated to paradise. Yet, I also abolished paradise, and it was removed. Therefore, when I say that everything connects to the kingdom of heaven, it makes sense. When I take the lead, God can travel to hell, heaven, or anywhere He pleases, without reservation.
Formerly, God was able to come and go only on the vertical plane; now, following me, He can go anywhere in the world He desires.
Now that I have opened this new path on which God has unlimited access, love can spread equally on every level. I mean, the time has come when anyone who receives my teachings, whether in heaven or hell, can be equally immersed in the love of the kingdom of heaven.
Again, what I am saying is that the time has come when the water of love, which formerly was reserved for those in one place, is now showering on everyone equally everywhere. Now that the realm of liberation and freedom has arrived, we must liberate even God; He needs to claim His original position.
(341-021, 2000/12/29)
33. By the end of 2000, all those in the entire religious realm of the spirit world had received the Blessing.
Because of this foundation, I was able to liberate hell; I was also able to liberate paradise, the level below heaven. How do you think I liberated hell and paradise? On what basis could I do that? I could do that because I liberated the religious realm, and then I could open the gate of hell.
In front of True Parents, no gate can block access to hell. In front of them, there cannot be paradise because True Parents will go to the kingdom of heaven.
Even on earth, the opposition against True Parents can last for only a limited time. Satan can oppose them when they are within the realm that Satan dominates, but once they overcome that level, Satan can no longer exercise his power over them.
That level is the United Nations. The UN is the summit of the world's nations. That is why I am advocating a vision for the UN that transcends religions and nations. It is based on True Parentism and Godism.
Should True Parents be under the governance of Satan's world? Should True Parents be under the governance of a nation? Should True Parents be under the governance of the UN? That is why the Principle transcends religion, nations, and the UN. That is why they are beyond them, why they are reaching the top.
My teachings, including True Parentism and Godism, are based on the principle of true love, which is to live absolutely for others.
Once humankind realizes this principle, everything will be completed. True Parentism means the principle of living absolutely for the sake of others. Within its bosom, the world will melt. Everything will be digested. (341-016, 2000/12/29)
Proclamation of the Total Unity of the Spiritual World and the Physical World
34. If we, True Parents, represent Earth, our beloved Heung-jin represents the spirit world. As the spiritual world and the physical world pass over the endpoint of the old age and enter the new age, they may need a walking stick or some other tools.
You need to prepare these. Until now, the spirit world worked on its own and earth worked on its own, separate from each other. However, the time has come when they can cooperate as one, sharing a common goal because we have entered the age of liberation, based on the victory of the self-reliant nation of Cheon Il Guk.
Therefore, the time has come when we all must unite and cooperate with one another in pursuit of the same goal. The spiritual world and the physical world have been separated, and their ranks were reversed.
Yet now their ranks will be corrected. Adam will go up, and the archangel will go down. Therefore, the time has come for blessed families in the spirit world to help establish Cheon Il Guk in Adam's world on earth.
As for those in the angelic world, being fallen, they have not been able to have a blood relationship through the Blessing. Hence, they must with blessed families on earth, by helping them. In this way, they can become one body. (371-248, 2002/03/01)
35. What does our beloved Heung-jin do at the Cheongpyeong Training Center? As the commander of the spirit world, he represents all the major religious founders.
He conducted seminars by which he prepared a foundation to become their mediator. We must do work to directly connect his foundation to Earth. This work will be the 144,000 Couples Blessing, which will be conducted in the United States.
That Blessing will not be a work of the physical world alone. It will be a collaboration between the physical world and the spiritual world. The spirit world is not another world, nor is it a place whose people have a different lineage than ours. It is our home and our nation.
Restoring it is the work of our family and our nation; it is the very work that I have been doing to this day. It is also something that you should participate in, in the process of fulfilling God's eternal Will. It is the task that we, who are in the independent nation's realm of victory, must accomplish in this age of liberation.
Since the spiritual world and the physical world should be on the same path, you should take the initiative and influence the spirit world, rather than be governed by it.
The commander of the spirit world, which has changed from the time when Jesus was in charge, is Heung-jin. True Parents are in the position of God, and Heung-jin is in the position of Jesus. Heung-jin, in that position, went to the spirit world and now works to uphold True Parents' desire. That is why I am saying that the relationship between the two must be correct.
I came to earth to advance to the victory that will establish heaven's supremacy. God cannot be supreme as long as the spiritual world and physical world are divided; His supremacy must be based on the realm of oneness in the parent-child relationship.
That is why I must declare this. However, this proclamation cannot be made by the person in charge here or the one in charge of the Cheongpyeong Training Center. God cannot directly take responsibility for everything. God had to request True Parents, and True Parents had to make the declaration, which I did. That is how it became possible to open the gate for God to travel to hell and save people there. (371-249, 2002/03/01)
Ceremony for Dissolving God's 6,000-Year History of Bitter Sorrow
36. When individuals and families have no barriers on the horizontal plane, they will be able to grow and be elevated to encompass the entire world. This is the work of our cross-cultural marriages. Satan has blocked everything. That is why in creating a new lineage, we are conducting cross-cultural marriage Blessings.
To create one lineage that is even and level, we, as True Parents, established realms of liberation on eight stages, from the realm for liberating individuals to realms for liberating families, tribes, peoples, nations, the world, and the cosmos, and now even the realm where God is liberated.
Once we establish this, heaven and earth can enter the era when they will unite in harmony based upon the original standard. Since Satan does not exist there, it will be an age when all can unite automatically.
The great Ceremony for Dissolving God's 6,000-Year History of Bitter Sorrow that took place on April 4, 2002, connects us to that age. Now that this ceremony to liberate all history has taken place, Satan must retreat and leave the human world. Furthermore, all those who received the Blessing in heaven must come to earth and stand on the front line to recover the original homeland and nation.
We consider ourselves to be the family of Adam and Eve, in which Abel should be in the position of the elder brother. Therefore, when you stand at the forefront and move forward, you must obey your commander's directions, even though he is younger than you.
Everyone must unite, and this is how it is done. Once you attain oneness in heart, in body, in thought, and in mind with absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, heaven can move freely and heavenly fortune can flow freely.
All you have to do is run toward the final destination. We, the Parents of Heaven and Earth, who are connected to mainstream thought, victoriously offered our conditions and foundations so that you can reach that destination. We already built a highway that connects to anywhere and everywhere.
Wherever you go, you will find no obstacles; so as long as you drive well, you can go at high speed. You will have no difficulty doing that. (374-055, 2002/04/05)
Proclamation of the Realm of Unity and Secure Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth
37. I proclaimed the Unity and Secure Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, so that not only the Parents of Heaven and Earth but all people who received the Blessing can arrive at a secure settlement.
Then a bridge can be built through which nations and the world can become one in that place of settlement. A great work of construction needs to take place. For this, numerous spirits, including the saints in the spirit world will come and build a bridge between the heavenly world and the earthly world.
They will come, each based on his nation, to save the world and build one nation throughout the world. The time has come to make that one-world nation, just as the mind and body are united. (381-105, 2002/06/11)
38. The time has come for you to settle centered on the Parents of Heaven and Earth. For this, you all need to inherit the dutiful ways of a filial child in the family, of a patriot in the nation, of a saint in the world, and a divine child in heaven and on earth.
This is in Family Pledge number two. Do not just recite the Family Pledge. You have to carve its words into your bones and flesh as if they were your last words.
Hereafter, in all aspects, you need to live with the Parents of Heaven and Earth. You must live with them as your subject partners in every way. You have to realize anew your value as blessed families with whom God can live.
He wants to live with blessed families that have inherited true love, true life, and true lineage centered on the vertical and horizontal Parents of Heaven and Earth.
However, blessed families do not yet have God's nation. Therefore, you blessed families need to establish the foundation for that nation by bearing the fruit of Adam's family. That is, in your given position, you must give the Blessing. If you are a Kim, you should bring all members of the Kim clan; if you are a Pak, the Pak clan. You must bless all of your relatives.
A people consists of 12 or more tribes. Mixed within the Korean people is the blood of the peoples of many nations. Strictly speaking, the Korean people are not homogeneous.
Koreans are from many intermingled lineages, due to their tragic history of numerous wars and battles. Lineages of at least 12 people be mixed to form a nation. A nation is formed by connections on five levels individuals, families, tribes, and peoples form a nation. (382-137, 2002/06/21)
39. Through the Blessing, God has blood ties to spirits in the spirit world and True Parents have blood ties to people on earth. They are the foundation to give the Blessing to unite the spirit world and to do likewise on earth. That unity is why True Parents can settle securely as the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
This means that the kingdom of heaven on earth and the kingdom of heaven in heaven can start, and we can now enter a new age. Based on this, I proclaimed the Unity and Secure Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
If you are a Kim, do not think that your work to bless the Kim clan is only as a representative of the Kim clan. You are a representative of the entire good spirit world, with all its saints and sages, who are uniting to do this work on behalf of heaven and earth.
They have all become one, centered on the five world-level saints, including Socrates. Next, I am going to announce the unity of the ancestors of the communist world, the unity of the ancestors of Korea, Japan, and America, and even of kings and their traditions.
Therefore, blessed central families should always think about the spirit world from the standpoint of this world-level tradition. Now the heavenly nation, not the fallen world, is the subject partner. The original world has arisen; it has emerged with dignity as the subject partner. (382-140, 2002/06/21)
Holy Burning Ceremony for the Peace, Unity, and Liberation of Heaven and Earth
40. I must become the owner of love, the owner of true love. I have to be the representative of God. Since I understood this long ago, to me, dying has never been a problem. No matter what happened, I had to reach that level.
That is why people throughout the spiritual world and the physical world have resolved that they will attend me as the Messiah, the Savior and True Parents. I opened that path. Even for God, someone had to open it.
Going through the eight stages and reaching God, I become the owner of the cosmos. I will offer everything to Him, saying, “It is on me that all beings in the creation depend on; I now offer them to You.”
Then God will return them to me. He will say, “I bequeath to you the original world of creation. You worked hard for it.”
In this way, we will get them back. Unless this happens, we cannot claim ownership. It is the same with the family and with the nation. We must win over Satan's world. We have to go beyond Satan's world.
Only after we do that can we attend to God, the owner of love, life, and lineage, and become the owners of the family, nation, world, and cosmos.
This is the reason I am having you conduct the Holy Burning Ceremony for the Peace, Unity, and Liberation of Heaven and Earth. You do it while you are alive on earth. You should be resurrected during your lifetime. (395-120, 2002/10/18)
41. We are living in the age of the liberation of the Fourth Adam, when the kingdom of heaven on earth and the kingdom of heaven in heaven are being connected.
You should keep in mind how amazing and how precious this is. The Rally for the Harmony and Unity of Heaven and Earth in which this was proclaimed is connected to the Holy Burning Ceremony for the Peace, Unity, and Liberation of Heaven and Earth. It is one of the last conditions you need to fulfill. From now on, you should go forward-thinking that whatever you resolve in your mind and heart will shape your life course and history. (395-246, 2002/10/21)
42. Looking at the providence of restoration from the perspective of building the heavenly nation, October 2002 is the time to settle all accounts. That is done through the Rally for the Harmony and Unity of Heaven and Earth.
Unity is possible because the spiritual world and the physical world have become one, and heaven and earth are united and in harmony. The five great saints in the spirit world are centered on True Parents. They, the hundreds of millions of people in the spirit world who follow them, and the blessed people on earth, will rally together and resolve to become one, with God at the center.
If you still carry old baggage from the past, you have to burn it. Everything was lost in the Garden of Eden the Mother, the Father, the sons, the daughters, and all things of creation. Therefore, you need to gather everything and clear it. On that basis, you should be able to say, “I have nothing of my own; everything belongs to heaven.”
Three generations of True Parents' family and three generations of your families must become one. We must have a nation that belongs to God. To reach the standard to unite all humankind, we must achieve this goal, no matter what. Now, Cain will cooperate, the archangel Lucifer will cooperate, and the spirit world will cooperate. We can unite all nations based on God's nation.
Now True Parents have entered the era in which they can redeem the nations of Satan's world, Cain's world. The time has come to unite everything that has been divided and separated one from another.
What settled this matter was the Holy Burning Ceremony for the Peace, Unity, and Liberation of Heaven and Earth. (395-254, 2002/10/30)
43. I made all the conditions necessary to establish the realm of God's liberation. That is why on August 5, 2002, I proclaimed the Unity and Secure Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Daily Life.
I further conducted the Holy Burning Ceremony for the Peace, Unity, and Liberation of Heaven and Earth at a rally at Sun Moon University. It celebrated achieving harmonious unity between the spiritual world and the physical world. We went over that hill by burning all that belonged to the fallen world.
I declared Cheon Il Guk, the Cosmic Nation of Peace and Unity. It is the nation in which the physical world and the spiritual world are on an equal plane. Thus, the gates of hell, paradise, and heaven are open in all directions so that there is a ready-made path for you to enter Cheon Il Guk once you receive the Blessing.
You cannot enter it as individuals. Further, after receiving the Blessing you must restore the nations that Satan has governed, offer them, and enter with the people of those nations. (399-095, 2002/12/19)
Ceremony for Total Unity
44. What is the Ceremony for Total Unity? The Fourth Israel is not yet in oneness with the First, Second, and Third Israelis. The First Israel was unable to establish God's nation. Then, based on the foundation of Christianity, the United States became the Second Israel.
The United States led the liberation of Korea, the Third Israel. However, although the United States is the Second Israel, its people do not understand the spirit world; hence, it was unable to unite the spiritual world and the physical world.
Therefore, someone who knows the spiritual world and the physical world and who understands the mistake of Adam and Eve must come and unite them in the name of True Parents.
It is True Parents who can save the world. They know how the world fell ill. Furthermore, although you do not understand it, they know the nature of the disease afflicting religion, namely that it does not know the world of the heart.
Jesus came to the nation of Israel and died on the cross. Because he left by using the cross, he had to come again by way of a cross. Now that the Returning Lord has departed from the place of death, he must establish the standard of equality in the cosmos by erecting a pillar that will serve as a proper cornerstone amid the quagmire of this fallen world.
For this purpose, we are now welcoming the decisive moment when we declare peace. Here, in the middle of this battlefield, on December 21, 2003, by declaring the Ceremony for Total Unity, we are planting the Fourth Israel.
It is what God has so wanted to plant. By doing so, it becomes possible for the Jesus who had died to stand in front of the nation of the Fourth Israel as the resurrected Jesus, to represent God's royal authority and protect it.
(428-264, 2003/12/21)
45. Heaven and earth have been united since 2004, and God has entered the era when He can do as He desires. Hence, our families, having received God's blessing, now are given the privilege of entering the kingdom of heaven. But first, we must establish Cheon Il Guk.
In light of that, what should we do as representatives of Cheon Il Guk? What must we accomplish to enter the kingdom of heaven?
All the people and angels in the spirit world, including the people who lived in the Old Testament Age, the New Testament Age, and the Completed Testament Age, must become one with the blessed families on earth. All the blessed families in heaven and the blessed families on earth must become one.
Your blessed family members on earth today are in the position of the third generation, that of God's grandchildren. Or, if True Parents are considered the first generation, you are like the second generation, and your children are in the third generation. Because I gave the Blessing to these three generations, the spiritual world and the physical world could become one. (428-245, 2003/12/21)
Proclamation of the Foundation Day of the Unified Nation, for the Liberation of the Cosmos
46. As of today, October 3, 2004, it is no longer the Foundation Day for the Nation of the Unified World; it is the Foundation Day for the Unified Nation of Heaven and Earth. It is beyond this physical world. It is about the cosmos heaven and earth.
How were the Parents of the Cosmos, the Parents of Heaven and Earth, and the Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind ushered in? They were ushered in because True Parents indemnified and restored the lost standard that was to have been established if Adam and Eve, after reaching maturity, had received the Blessing from the invisible God as His embodiments.
God is the harmonized being of dual characteristics; in terms of position toward human beings, He is the subject partner. Adam and Eve emerged as His substance. It is written that God created Eve from a rib taken from Adam.
After they were thus divided, they were supposed to grow to maturity. Then the Parent of the Cosmos, in the position of the mind in the unified realm of the spirit world, was to give the Blessing to Adam and Eve, His embodiments in the position of His body. Thus, they would have become True Parents. Yet, this did not happen.
However, much Adam was in the position of the subject partner, there had to be the perfection of his object partner, Eve. However, not only was his object partner not perfected, but even Adam himself failed to reach perfection as her subject partner. Hence, they could not settle on earth.
Consequently, although families who received the Blessing on earth are to enter the kingdom of heaven, the gate through which they can enter the kingdom of heaven has been completely blocked.
Accordingly, this must be untangled. That is why God has now proclaimed the Blessing for all; it is to liberate the entire spirit world including paradise and hell. (471-208, 2004/10/03)
The Chuseok for the Liberation of Heaven and Earth
47. Our beloved Heung-jin, heaven representative and the heavenly commander-in-chief of heaven and earth, reported to True Parents in a message he sent from the spirit world to the place where we are commemorating and celebrating this day, September 18, 2005.
I am sharing his report with you. As representatives, please receive this Chuseok for the Liberation of Heaven and Earth. I am proclaiming what he sent for your sake, and the sake of the spirit world and the physical world.
Understand that this declaration is a special grace by which you can become one with Heung-jin. Then, all blessed families, all the earthly and heavenly worlds, and the rest of humankind can also partake in the same grace.
At this time, based on the foundation of God's victory, the Parents of Heaven and Earth have won the supreme victory for all generations to come. They have established the foundation on which the all-transcendent, all-immanent God can exercise His power and authority over all creation.
On this day of celebration, you symbolize a group of people who offer themselves as a living sacrifice with utmost sincerity, with one heart, one body, and one mindset, at a public event at which are present family members from inside and outside the church, and others who symbolize many nations and the world.
Please remember eternally that you have participated in this ceremony to liberate heaven and earth and fulfill your responsibility for this purpose. (508-114, 2005/09/18)
48. You stand on the foundation of the unity of heaven and earth, the unity of the world, and the unity of God's nation. In other words, you are on a foundation without a trace of Satan.
Therefore, for the first time, abolishing all barriers and national borders and entering the realm of liberation and complete freedom is possible. This will happen when you fulfill your portion of responsibility and inherit God's creative nature and the authority of ownership.
The Chuseok for the Liberation of Heaven and Earth, on September 18, 2005, is the occasion on which we can celebrate a brand-new morning, on a brand-new day when we stand in the original position, before the Fall.
This is the day when God creates anew the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth, and then the waters and all things of creation. He creates them in the realm of liberation and complete freedom, in which no barriers exist anywhere, neither in the spirit world nor in the physical world, based on His having united the entire cosmos.
If you claim ownership over any material possessions, if you do not regard everything you own as belonging to the church, it means that barriers and borders still exist for you.
Humankind is still beset by barriers and national borders. Nonetheless, if you want to live with unrestrained freedom and go anywhere without barriers and national borders, you must do nothing that would defile your lineage. Before you can assert yourselves, you must be of the same blood as the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
When your position is within the same realm of lineage as that of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, you should recover the name royal son or royal daughter of Heaven and Earth. Those who do so are from the original royal family, the royal family of Adam's children.
As you become one in the heart of the realm of that royal family, you should also be able to proclaim the cosmic kingdom of peace and welcome the age of liberation and complete freedom for the cosmos in the earthly world, and the heavenly world, where there are no national borders or barriers.
This cosmic kingdom of peace is Cheon Il Guk. After you eliminate all the barriers and national borders of the First Adam, the Second Adam, and the Third Adam, you can inherit Cheon Il Guk and then cross over into the age of the Fourth Adam's realm of heart. (508-120, 2005/09/18)
