On September 16, 1991, True Mother visited Japan to begin her worldwide, public activity debut. Mother, Hyo Jin Nim toured in Japan for nine days, during which Mother spoke to approximately seven thousand members of the Women’s Federation for Peace in Asia (WFPA), and on numerous occasions to large and small gatherings of Japanese church members where she spoke of the Women’s Federation of the Unification Church. At Showa Shinzan she made a holy ground. Here we present both her speech to the WFPA on September 17 and her speech to Japanese blessed couples on September 18 in Tokyo Bay NK Hall. On October 31 the WFPA of Korea was inaugurated.
Dear Japanese families’ You longed to see True Parents, didn’t you?
I had hoped that today’s gathering could be the opportunity to receive True Father in Japan.
I pray for the blessing of God and True Parents to deeply be in your homes. We, gathered here today, are all God’s children serving True Parents. We are warriors of Unificationism, pioneers of God’s providence, and the forerunners of a new history, called by God to restore His original ideal world. At the same time, we are standing in the position of tribal messiahs, protagonists of the era of the restoration of elder sonship, parentship, and kingship, as blessed families reborn by God’s true love, true life, and true blood lineage.
God led six thousand years of restoration history to find us today, walking the path of un-describable hardship to establish a true love family on earth, enduring Satan’s scorn and perseverance. God wanted to find true love, true life, and true blood lineage through Adam’s family, Noah’s family, Abraham’s family,y, and Moses’s family, but could only establish conditions due to the disbelief and ignorance of human beings.
Two thousand years ago, God tried to establish elder sonship and world kingship through Jesus Christ. But Jesus was crucified. God could not help but delay His providence until the time of the Second Coming, swallowing bloody tears. God established the Christian church in the position of the bride, yearning and waiting for the coming bridegroom.
How can we describe the bitterness and sorrow of God during that time?
When we look back at the restoration through the indemnity path of the True Father to free God’s “Han,” we can fully understand how mind-scorching the internal situation of the providence was. And through Father’s words, we can feel God’s heart physically and understand the deep meaning of the restoration ‘providence.
Father came as the Lord of the Second Coming, as the cosmic bridegroom to fulfill God’s true love, and as True Parents to establish God’s true love, true life, and true blood lineage eternally. If God is the vertical Parents of true love, True Parents are the horizontal parents of true love. Therefore, Father carries out the Blessing to spread true love on earth horizontally.
You, gathered here, are the blessed people participating in that true love from Father. The Blessing is precious and eternal. The Blessing and God’s true love cannot be exchanged for billions of tons of gold. In one word, a blessed family is the fruit of six thousand years of restoration providence history.
In that sense, the gathering of blessed families here today has in itself such historic and cosmic meaning. This will be recorded as the biggest event in Japan’s history. The descendants of Japan will celebrate this day forever.
Dear Japanese blessed and would-be-blessed families! You have the power to change the history of the world and the potential to do anything in this era of the fulfilled promise. You have the spiritual power, your country is blessed as the Eve nation, and you are the leaders of this era of fulfilled promise.
Father emphasized the importance of Japan as the Eve nation many times. Father said Eve must take the lead in the restoration providence. He emphasized many times the importance of the mission of the blessed family, especially the mission of women.
I thought about this as a mother. I thought a lot of things as I watched Father speaking to Japanese leaders. Whenever Father stressed the importance of Eve’s mission to the Japanese members, I felt that Japanese members were very close to me because I also am Eve. If the Lord of the Second Coming is the bridegroom, Eve is the bride. And established Christianity should have fulfilled the mission of Eve as his bride, holding the lamp and waiting for the bridegroom.
If established Christianity had received Father, he need not have gone the road of indemnity. But in opposing Father, the bride betrayed the bridegroom. So Father feels sorrow. Without any foundation, he had to walk the road of the forty-year world-level wilderness alone. Father had to find his bride again. So in the place of world Christianity, Father established the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity and chose Japan as the Eve nation.
Japan has more blessed families than Korea because Father has blessed Japan as the Eve nation, namely the bride nation. In this sense, Korea, the Adam nation in God’s providence, and Japan are destined to be one. You know very well that the international Blessing between Korea and Japan is the providential bridge to connect these two countries. Please remember that Koreans in Japan will play an important role in the restoration of the Adam nation the Unification of South and North Korea.
What is Eve’s mission?
Dear Japanese families, what is the mission of Eve? Eve has the position of bride, daughter, and mother. Therefore, Eve has the mission of bride, daughter, and mother.
First, as a bride, Eve has the mission to embrace Adam as the bridegroom. The body and mind of the bride belong to the bridegroom. The bride h, however, is the recipient of the bridegroom’s love. It may seem that the bride offers all to the bridegroom, but she in return receives the bridegroom’s most precious love.
Dear families of Japan, the Eve nation. In this sense, Father asked you to take up the financial responsibility and devotion for the restoration of the world. You are called to the position of offering all you have to God and True Parents. Father repeatedly emphasizes the restoration of the economy and the restoration of all things to the Japanese members.
Father seems very stern towards Japanese leaders. But when praying in his room, Father sheds tears thinking of the hardships of the Japanese members. He prays, with tears, calling the names of the Japanese leaders one by one and thoroughly offers himself. Whenever I see that, I think that Father truly loves and cares for Japanese members.
Father knows of your situation. He knows how difficult it is to work at the frontline of the restoration of the economy without beginning your home life. Even when sending me here today, Father gave encouraging words. Dear Japanese members, Father loves you and prays for you even now.
Second, Eve has the mission of a daughter, which means serving the parents and knowing their situation more than anyone else. Since I have thirteen children, I know the difference between daughters and sons more than anyone else. Sons like to go out and, though deeply understanding the parents’ situation, don’t care about details. However, daughters, like Ye Jin or In Jin, seek to please their parents and pay attention to every detail. It is said that parents without a daughter have no enjoyment and feel lonely. Even after marriage, the daughter worries about her parents, whether they eat well, are healthy, and so on.
Dear Japanese families, you are worldwide daughters of God, lovely daughters of True Parents. Have you thought about what God likes, and what kind of agony God has? Do you know what food True Parents love, what are their hobbies, and whether they have inconveniences in their daily life?
A daughter is always the substantial object of pleasure and consolation to her parents. Even when the parents are exhausted, a bright and joyous daughter makes them forget their tiredness. Please do not forget that Japanese families are the representatives to stand before God and True Parents as objects of consolation and pleasure.
The sacrificial mission of a mother
Third, Eve has the mission of mother. A mother endures any sacrifice willingly if it is for her children’s sake. Who would endure the pain of delivery if it were not for the child? Among you, those who have experienced delivery may know this. A mother’s love is therefore sacrificial.
A mother’s love sacrifices all for the father and the children. And the mother should take responsibility for the home life. She should take responsibility for the children’s education and the father’s health. There is no need to emphasize again how important the mother’s role is in the restoration providence. Jacob’s course is the prime lesson. Jacob could restore the right of eldership due to the help of his mother.
Dear Japanese families of the Eve nation. You are the others of the world dimension, beyond Asia. You have the fate to sacrifice for mankind. You have the responsibility to rescue humanity which is suffering from war, crime, famine, and disease. Your fruits of blood and tears are used for all mankind by Father. You should show the example to humanity. As the Eve nation, Japan must care for the people of the world. It is not accidental that Japanese missionaries are sent out to the whole world.
Dear Japanese families, especially women. The fulfillment of God’s Will depends upon you. Now mankind is gradually becoming one family under God. Now the mother’s role of sacrificial love is needed. Only with that, peace and the construction of the heavenly nation on earth become possible.
We are gathered here to fulfill this object. To fulfill the mission of bride, daughter, and mother before God and True Parents as Eve, let’s go hand in hand and resolve to begin a new glorious start united in heart.
Yesterday the Women’s Federation for Peace in Asia conference was held successfully. That signifies the total historical indemnity for all of Eve’s sins namely, the betrayal of God’s love,e and hoists the banner of a new start as restored Eve. We came here together to advance the restoration providence to a new dimension by founding the “Women’s Federation of the Unification Church.”
Now, I’ll disclose our future mission. Before that, I hope you understand what time it is in the providence.
Father announced the “Declaration Day of God’s Eternal Blessing” on July 1, 1991, in Korea, and declared a new era. Father founded the “Interreligious Federation for World Peace” on August 27 and the “Federation for World Peace” on August 28 in Seoul, Korea. Through that, Father established the foundation for world peace and spurred the construction of the heavenly nation.
Now is the time for the democratic world and the communist world to unify and center on True Parents. Since the Moscow conference last year, communism collapsed. And with the founding of the Federation for World Peace, the democratic world and the communist world are becoming one. The fact that four thousand Soviet and East European students heard Principle seminars means a decisive victory for Godism.
Now is the time for the unification of all religions centered on True Parents. It is truly surprising that both Christian leaders and their historic enemies, Muslim leaders, are greatly moved by the Divine Principle and participating actively in the Interreligious Federation for World Peace. Now the conflicts among different religions and denominations are over.
Elder sonship, parentship, and kingship
As World Scripture was dedicated to the Father, all the controversy over creeds came to an end. In this sense, Father opened a new chapter in the unification of religion.
The Interreligious Federation for World Peace and the Federation for World Peace are internally linked to the restoration of elder sonship, parentship, and kingship. Father completed the restoration of world-level elder sonship through the Moscow conference last year and declared this on July 1. Therefore, the Cain world will gradually collapse on the family, tribal, national, and world levels.
Due to the failure to restore the elder sonship, the religious and non-religious worlds were divided into heaven and hell, and the spirit world exploited the human world. But from now on, Satan’s henchmen will be unable to wield power at will, and the spirit world will unite with our direction.
Father is emphasizing “Return to home” to link the restoration of the elder sonship to the restoration of parentship. Originally, elder sonship and parentship were lost in the home. Therefore, to restore these, you must return to your hometown, and establish the foundation for restoration centered on your kin.
Father stressed home church ten years ago. Now, Father has asked all blessed families to apply for tribal messiahship. By declaring tribal messiahship, Father established the foundation for the restoration of parentship.
Jesus also came as the Messiah, but he didn’t establish himself as the Messiah of his kin. However, you received the great blessing of tribal messiahship on the victorious foundation of True Parents. We should all thank Father, truly.
Dear blessed families standing in the position of tribal messiahs!
We have before us the task of constructing heaven on earth and heaven in the spirit world through the restoration of kingship. On the foundation of the Federation for World Peace and the Interreligious Federation for World Peace, our future mission is the completion of the restoration of kingship.
The true meaning of our gathering here today is for the construction of heaven on earth and in the spirit world through the restoration of kingship. Because the mission of Eve is important now, we are founding the Women’s Federation of the Unification Church and are confirming a new resolution.
One of the great women in the Old Testament is Esther, who became the Queen of Persia as a descendant of the chosen people of Israel. She stood up with a resolution to rescue the Israelites, risking her status as queen, and her life. Fasting three days, she courageously shattered the conspiracy of Haman. By one tender woman, Queen Esther, the Israelite people overcame the danger of death inflicted by the Gentile people.
Return to hometown
Today we should take the lead in restoring world-level kingship with lessons from Esther’s courage and wisdom. We must fulfill our mission as brides before the Lord of the Second Coming. We should fulfill the “Reception of the Lord of the Second Coming,” which established Christianity of two thousand years failed to do.
In the past, Tamar risked her life to continue God’s blood lineage. Mary, Jesus’ mother, also risked her life to conceive Jesus. We must be as great as they are.
We should know clearly that we are called protagonists in the era of restoration of elder sonship, parentship, and kingship. We must recognize that we are tribal messiahs to transmit true love, true life, and true blood lineage to our kin and descendants.
Now let’s win the “movement of 4,300 altar church” [Mother is referring to the 4,300 Korean/Japanese blessed couples from the 6, 516 Couples Blessing in October 1988 and the 1,275 Couples Blessing in January 1989] in which you are now engaged, like the bride who gives her mind, body and all belongings to the bridegroom. In the position of an offering before the bridegroom, let us stand upright before God and our True Parents. I am sure that you will overcome the hardships and certainly win.
Further, let us fulfill the mission of tribal messiah in the era of “Return to Hometown.”
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon
Especially if you succeed in placing the picture of True Parents in the homes of your family and relatives, the restoration of parentship will be realized. Where True Parents exist, Satan can no longer appear. In Korea, the members who succeeded in placing pictures of True Parents are experiencing God’s blessing and grace.
Finally, let us not fear the world. The Cain bloc is collapsing. Satan’s forces are retreating. Let us march forward as bride, daughter, and mother more confidently than any other women in history. After the Declaration Day of July 1, everything will be resolved earlier than our expectation due to the cosmic force, and True Father will completely win. When we work together hand in hand, with prayer and united hearts, our victory is sure.
As Mother, I know your situation better than anyone else. And though my wish is that you all could rest, I cannot urge this when I think of God’s will and see Father’s hard work. So I feel pain. I want to visit your homes share your situations and look at your growing children. The children of blessed families are God’s hope.
Please don’t lose courage. Let us advance strongly and courageously. Father and I will continuously pray for you and your descendants. I wish the blessing of God to be on your family and kin eternally.
Thank you.
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon
