Background of the constitution
After True Parents proclaimed Cheon Il Guk in 2001, True Father emphasized the necessity of a constitution to guide its governance. He explained in detail how to establish the constitution, saying that it must center on God and True Parents and that its core spirit is that of the Family Pledge, which contains the most central teachings from True Parents' countless sermons and public speeches.
True Father said that the Family Pledge goes beyond the Completed Testament Age and that it is the absolute standard for establishing Cheon Il Guk. He emphasized again and again that it is like a constitution.
Accordingly, the Family Pledge, which contains good guidelines for living with God's love and summarizes True Parents' words, is the basis upon which the Cheon Il Guk Constitution was established.
1. The laws of any nation tell us not to do this and that. When we violate a particular law, we can be punished under the criminal law of that nation. Goodness upholds freedom and liberation, while evil faces opposition.
The universe protects and promotes goodness, sustaining the world with its authority and power. Public righteousness repels evil, a just nation repels it, and societies with ethical norms repel it. Nothing welcomes evil. For this reason, evil cannot survive in the world of goodness.
Today the world's laws restrict us from doing this and that. Laws in the fallen world do not always reward people for being good or doing good deeds. However, in the Last Days it will come to pass that people will be judged by their public righteousness.
God will have people eliminate evil laws and establish good laws by which good people will be recognized. Thus, even though you are rejected in the evil world or suffer in sorrow, you must work centering on good laws and values.
Someday, laws will be enacted that rewards those who are good without fail, centering on the law of heaven, that is, heaven's constitution. Such laws must emerge according to the righteousness of heaven's Principle. That world is the kingdom of heaven on earth. When the kingdom of heaven on earth comes, you will be rewarded. (016-134, 1966/01/02)
2. In the future, the Unification Church should lead a movement for the creation of good laws. All good people should gather and make good international laws.
The era must come when people are selected and recognized for their good deeds and rewarded. On the other hand, those who have committed evil must face some type of punishment. These laws must always protect and nurture goodness, where liberation and complete freedom dwell.
Good laws bring hope to all people, facilitate the building of the kingdom of heaven, and enable us to relate to God and dwell together with Him.
(016-135, 1966/01/02)
3. Goodness means to return to the Principle; it is based on the Principle. The Principle exists as the standard that applies to the relationship between God and human beings. In the same way, a constitution is the standard by which we know good and evil.
First, Adam is supposed to become one with God; next, he is supposed to become one with Eve. After the united Adam and Eve become one with God, their family must become one. That is what we call a law. A law is the way by which human beings must live.
God and Adam must become one, then Adam and Eve must become one, and then they and their sons and daughters must become one. The three object partner's purpose, as explained in the Divine Principle, is God's law. It is a principle. Whatever does not fit this principle is evil. (073-085, 1974/08/04)
4. God's Will proceeds by His laws following His providence. We are supposed to be under the governance of those laws; we are not to do things randomly. Heaven's law applies to everyone universally. Since this law applies to the world as a whole, everyone is governed by this law. That is why, regardless of how much opposition I receive, I am working to expand the foundation of heaven's law.
Suppose you stop working to expand the foundation of heaven's law, but you say, 'I love God.'
That will never work. After promising True Parents that you are committed to expanding heaven's law, how can you think, 'It is not significant whether I do it or not; let me take it easy'?
Having such an attitude will never work with God. The greater the scope of God's Will for you, the higher the law that will be applied to you.
You should always think of heaven's law. You are called by heaven's command. If, despite this, you think in terms of gaining honor, saving face, or protecting your dignity, it will come to nothing. You have to live only for heaven's command.
People do not complain about returning to God. When they return to Him, they praise Him and agree with His guidance, saying, 'Yes, You are right.' This is principled and maintains the ideal.
Are you now returning to God? If God were to have a wish, what do you think it would be? It would be, 'Just return to the original state, to the original principles.' For this reason, you need to live up to the original principles.
(103-240, 1979/03/01)
5. In the fallen world no family law has been passed down from our Heavenly Parent. All traditions in every family are of the fallen world. The world's countless peoples have passed down their stained cultures, with tainted customs and traditions.
Thus, we now need to establish a tradition that can please God in history and can be the basis of a single cultural sphere. Once we have established it as the family law, when you have your family, your family members must live by it.
In such a world, there will not be multiple languages. We need a revolution even in the realm of language.
If Adam and Eve had been God's children, they would have spoken the language that they heard and learned from God. Then their children would have learned their parents' language, that of Adam and Eve.
Their language naturally would have come to be the only language of this world; and hence culture and history would have been one, not divided. There would have been only one language and one history. (065-196, 1972/11/19)
6. My words will become the constitution. I do not speak my words; I give you these words according to God's direction. I have not done even a single thing as I have wanted to. God has even been merciless with me. To establish heaven's law as the eternal law, those in the spirit world have watched me carefully.
If I as their representative had committed anything, even one iota, unforgivable during my course, God would not have maintained me with this mission to fulfill. Even after fulfilling what I was asked to do 10 times, I would be tested 100 times. This is the kind of path I have been walking. (360-174, 2001/11/15)
7. What is heaven's law, the law that God desires? It is God's law within the ideal of creation. To realize the ideal of God, we need to complete the four-position foundation. When we accomplish this, love will emerge. Words based on the ideal of God's creation teach us how to accomplish the ideal. Those words are the truth.
The words of the Divine Principle in the Unification Church are expressions of the absolute God's law for the fallen world. To know the law, refer to the words. Refer to the words in its chapters and sections; these are the law.
By this law, we are judged whether we have become good people, whether we are living the Word, and whether we have become embodiments of the Word. If this law leads you to become such people, you will be able to travel anywhere freely and have a relationship with anyone in God's nation, where the Principle is the law. (103-234, 1979/03/01)
8. We have laws in the Unification Church. The first law is the Word that we teach in the church, the Word of the Principle. Do you observe our church laws? We have many laws, ranging from fasting to a three-year separation period after engagement to a 40-day purification period after the marriage Blessing.
You need to understand that, just as you are caught and put in jail if you violate the laws of a nation, there will be consequences if you violate Unification Church laws.
There are also rules that we need to follow when doing home church to progress from the individual level to the next level, the family. If you ignore these, or if you choose, to do what you like and avoid what you do not like, it does not work. (103-235, 1979/03/01)
9. God taught me only two things: first, love travels by the shortest path; and second, the root origin of the universe is the parent-child relationship; based on those two points I had to answer all the other questions that arose. This parent-child relationship does not refer to the parent-child relationship that is based on the blood lineage of this world.
It has to be solved from a new starting point. If you do not know about the Fall, you cannot understand it. I have disclosed everything about the origin. This is a law of the universe. It is a law of heaven. I did not invent the concept of the blessed family. That is originally part of the law of the universe. When you are in accord with that law, you can go in front of the God of heaven.
You must prepare a foundation by absolutely practicing and abiding by my words. (376-315, 2002/04/29)
Why the Constitution By is needed
By True Parents' direction, foundational work to establish the constitution commenced at the beginning of the year 2000. Then in 2013, immediately after the opening of Cheon Il Guk on Foundation Day, True Mother directed that work to prepare the Cheon Il Guk Constitution begin in earnest.
True Parents' words include their reports of victory on the cosmic level, and their life course is the model course that all human beings will have to follow. Accordingly, the criteria for establishing the Cheon Il Guk Constitution were decided in nine areas.
These criteria include: the Cheon Il Guk ideal is to be realized on earth; it centers on the words of True Parents; it secures and presents a vision for the life of faith for Cheon Il Guk citizens; it is universal, which means it is international, interracial, intercultural, and interreligious; it pursues unanimous agreement; and service at the highest echelon is unpaid.
Based on these criteria, the concept, and structure of the Cheon 11 Guk Constitution were prepared. The guidelines and norms of life for Cheon Il Guk citizens were distilled through researching The Sermons of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the Family Pledge, and other available texts.
True Parents addressed the need for the Constitution from different perspectives. First, since God now owns the authority of the king through the Enthronement Ceremony for God's Kingship, the world must be governed based on God's law, which is based on the Principle.
Second, since Cheon Il Guk has been proclaimed, the time has come to establish its constitution to secure the sovereignty of the nation. Third, we need the constitution to settle and govern Cheon Il Guk. A constitution and its laws are required to realize the ideal of the new nation.
10. In the 20th century, civilization developed based on knowledge, ideas, and moral laws. The last of these will endure the longest. One cannot gain salvation by faith alone. The founding of nations requires laws for the various branches of government, and these center on a constitution. Furthermore, without laws, trials cannot proceed.
In the idea,l there is God's constitution, but as, yet we have no constitution for heaven's nation, much less for each branch of its government. Lacking this, we cannot judge the nations of Satan's world.
Currently, God's sons and daughters living on earth do not know the constitution of heaven's nation, nor do they know the laws for its branches of government.
So they just act as they please. They are making battlegrounds everywhere, creating divisions. How are we going to solve this problem? We will do so by establishing the constitution of heaven's nation, with clear laws for how the nation is structured. These laws should expand from the family to the tribe, the people, and so forth. (456-166, 2004/06/28)
11. What is it that the Lord brings to earth on his return? One thing that he brings is the law, based on the Principle. He comes with the authority to judge evil, and with that authority, he brings judgment.
Unless we establish a God-centered constitution that surpasses the constitutions of the nations that Satan takes pride in, we cannot establish God's nation. As the countries of the world have constitutions, God's nation must have a constitution. (065-195, 1972/11/19)
12. The constitution that can govern heaven's nation must be established on earth. We have to set up conditions for liberation that can be completed on earth. We need to prepare a substantial system of law that can protect the family, tribe, and nation within the physical realm. It is the same as the substantial being coming from the Word. As God's Word becomes the center, God's law becomes the center.
We must now enter the world in which we unite with and live by God's law. We must reject all laws and artifacts that Satan left behind in heaven and on earth throughout history and return to one spherical harmony. (325-160, 2000/07/01)
13. Once a constitution is enacted, even a president cannot act just as he or she pleases. Anyone who revokes in the evening the constitution that was enacted in the morning is not qualified to be president.
A person who wants to be a king who will be honored for 1,000 years first needs to establish laws that will be followed for 1,000 years, and he should personally practice those laws. If he selects which laws to
follow according to his situation or preference, he is nothing but a dictator. He will last only a day. Can the person who is to unite heaven and earth and establish the fundamental law, change a law simply because it does not suit him that day? He has to act by heaven's law, which is the great Way and the great Will.
(074-234, 1974/12/31)
14. We should restructure our movement based on the constitution of heaven's nation and set up laws for each of its branches of government. We must establish the absolute authority of these laws.
Law is the foundation on which the family and nation stand. Therefore, we have to transition into a world where the law is upheld and practiced. A judge rules according to the law. If someone holding the power of government does something wrong according to the law, he or she must be tried under the law.
There should be books of statutes outlining the laws for each body and institution of government. Based on the law, good and evil in that body are decided.
When something goes awry, we will find a way to resolve it through the courts. It is necessary to uphold the law. We need to protect the words of the Principle, the law of all laws. (324-140, 2000/06/18)
15. A family will find contentment when its members obey the constitution of true love. This is the formula, and it will not change just because someone wants to go another way. Since the formula is set, the political system of the future will become simply a system for management.
It will be a system that enables all people to attain an equal standard of living. Individuals and families will manage themselves by centering on love, as will tribes, peoples, nations, and the world. Regardless of the level, all levels are expansions of the family.
The eight levels of the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, cosmos, and God advance based on the family. This is the formula, so it has to be clear. By it, we can officially transition to a natural system of management that no longer fosters political struggle and conflict. (303-194, 1999/08/25)
16. In God's nation, there is a law of the palace. I tell you that a law of the palace serves as the vertical standard. The constitution of heaven's nation must be established centering on the law of the palace, which sets out the ideal vertical standard.
Divine sons and daughters are those who observe the law of the nation's palace. When this law is established for the realm of the royal family, the populace can connect directly to it and observe it, centering on God. (168-184, 1987/09/20)
17. The constitution of heaven's nation will set out laws for each of the branches of government. It will connect the laws of each branch. In the future, the constitution will be established based on the essential core of the Word. In the construction industry, there are building codes and regulations.
Electrical work has its codes and regulations, as does manufacturing. In the same way, the offices of government cannot come into existence without laws. Laws distinguish right from wrong. But no law will be officially recognized, whether on the national level or the world level, until it is ratified pursuant to the highest standard of law.
Until now, people lived in ignorance of heaven's law. However, we are now entering the era of the law that is based on God's Will. God set up the law based on His ideal of creation, and human beings fell because they did not follow that law.
The original era will be the era in which the law is absolute. It will not cater to individual purposes.
The law is centered on the ideal of peace, and it will make heaven and earth one for the sake of world peace. Laws by which one individual benefits over another will cease to exist. (515-032, 2006/01/21)
18. If you receive the marriage Blessing that moves you from the national era into the world era, you should start a journal. Doing so is a necessary criterion for registering to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Even in a family of True Parents, everyone will gather and, based on their discussion, decide who lives by the Principle. A life not lived at personal sacrifice for the sake of the entire family is unrighteous.
We must not be self-centered. Everyone in the Unification Church knows this; everyone in my family and clan knows this as well. Once this point is clear, the world will enter the era of heaven's law.
As we enter the era of the constitution of heaven's nation, no matter how close you are to God, you will be punished if you violate His law. God will continue working, even if it takes an eternity, to find and designate those who do not violate His law. (128-112, 1983/06/05)
19. You are in the era when God's kingship has been achieved. Therefore, it is time for you who are national messiahs to establish kingship on the level of your nation.
That can be your kingship, recognized by your nation. God's kingdom is the cosmos, beyond the world level. Therefore, you have to make a connection between your national foundation and God's level. That is why, no matter what, you must recover your nation.
Now is the time to register. To register, there must be unity, both within and without. The nation must be registered to heaven. Its president, cabinet members, and those who have leadership responsibilities must be registered for you to transcend the national level.
Now, whatever you do, you must attain mind-body unity. Even if you have to push yourself, you must do it. We are now entering the age when you have to push the body to unite with the mind.
The Constitution was established at God's enthronement; now we have the Constitution with its three fundamental laws. Before that, God could not rule.
When God created the world He set up only the law of creation; he did not have a law to deal with about destruction after the Fall. Hence, God could not govern the world of fallen people. However, now that the law has been proclaimed, a truly fearful time is approaching. You will be held accountable for all you do. (356-056, 2001/10/08)
20. The providence, based on the Will, is to restore God's fatherland centering on Korea. God's fatherland and hometown, which He initiated in this land, will be liberated. We are marking a new beginning for God's fatherland and His providence to liberate it.
When we connect to this new beginning of the Garden of Eden, all history will be cleared up and everything will be reorganized. Then the era of the providence of salvation will end, and we will enter the era of the law.
Even after having toiled for thousands upon thousands of years, now as we enter the era of the law of God's nation, God's work is not off by one minute, not even one second.
The era of the providence of salvation is passing, and a new beginning is coming. We are entering the original world according to the ideal of creation, the era of God's law, centering upon the constitution of God's nation.
(611-024, 2009/05/04)
21. We are now entering the era in which we will live under the jurisdiction of God's law. This is different from the past age when we depended on forgiveness.
We are entering the era of natural justice, just as it was for Adam and Eve, who suffered the consequences of their wrongdoing immediately.
Your new members respect the laws of this world, but each of, you needs to understand that abiding by the constitution of the kingdom of heaven is hundreds of times more serious than keeping the laws of this world.
You represent your ancestors who were loyal to their nations, and you must be hundreds, even thousands of times more loyal to God's nation. For this reason, please understand that from now on, you should not consider that your possessions belong just to you or your nation, or even to your sons and daughters.
We are now entering the era when God will directly oversee His sons and daughters, just as He oversaw Adam and Eve. So if you raise your children to follow their private purposes, their path will be blocked. Such a fearful time is coming. (511-286, 2005/10/14)
22. True Parents have untangled the fundamental problems in the spirit world and liberated people from them. Hence, spirits should have no problem descending to earth. Many of them have already received the marriage Blessing.
Families that used to belong to the angelic realm are coming down and taking responsibility for people on Earth in one-on-one relationships. They should have no problem dealing with their families on earth. If you do not heed those spirits, they might simply take you away. Such a time of great change is coming.
Until now, I have protected you, but I will no longer do so. Now that these three fundamental points of God's law have been promulgated, heaven and earth, hell and heaven, should no longer be divided according to the law of indemnity. They should be divided centering on God's law – the Constitution and its laws.
We are now in the era of the founding of God's nation with its new laws. Now that we have entered the era of kingship, we need to establish God's nation. We need to establish the one nation that transcends peoples, nations, and even the world. (346-204, 2001/07/01)
The purpose of the constitution
The Cheon Il Guk Constitution was written to present the goals and purposes for which Cheon Il Guk was founded. It contains the laws, norms, and guidelines by which citizens of Cheon Il Guk will fulfill the words that the substantial True Parents taught and exemplified throughout their lives.
The constitution was inaugurated to provide a lawful basis for our daily life and family life, and for building the structures and systems of God's nation and God's world.
It is intended to take root in the culture of heart and to blossom splendidly in the world where ideal families, transcending all barriers connected to the nation, race, gender, culture, religion, and so forth, attend God and True Parents.
23. When the Will of God is fulfilled, the law will apply to both the physical world and the spiritual world. That is, the constitution we use on earth will also be used in heaven, and the constitution that is used in heaven will also be used on earth.
God has such a law, but He has not been able to rule according to it. Hence, He became the God of sorrow.
When shall we hold a ceremony to proclaim this constitution? That goal is pending now. First, we must bring the world to the stage at which we can recover heaven's nation. We do not yet have God's nation.
Although we occupy just a small place, we are not the only ones here. Countless myriads of spirits from the spirit world are watching this place attentively. You must always be mindful that numerous societies and myriads of meritorious people throughout history are constantly measuring you against the standards of heaven.
Seen from this viewpoint, it is apparent that every single thing you do matters. For instance, even your manner of sitting should be prescribed as a protocol of conduct. (066-298, 1973/05/16)
24. When Adam and Eve violated Heaven's eternal and unchanging law, they were punished under the law. Anyone who violates the law will be likewise accountable, and cannot escape falling under the rule of punishment. A fearful era is at hand.
When this era comes, your current relationship with the false parent, Satan, cannot continue; it must be severed. Anything that Satan can own must be burned away. We must purge ourselves of and eliminate all things that relate to Satan. We do not just reorganize them, we eliminate them.
After burning them, we have to discard even the ashes. There should not be as much as a shadow of Satan. By so doing, and securing the realm of the Sabbath, we can connect to the lineage of true love, at the core of which is absolute sex.
To become the sons and daughters of heaven's nation, you must be born again through True Mother's body. When you do so, you can be harvested as the fruit of history. We must build God's nation with such sons and daughters. We must build a world free of the shadows of the Fall.
Only then can the Parents be seated and fulfill the Will, sharing everything with God, all His joys and sorrows. Then the position of the True Parents can be secured.
Then you too can inherit the kingship of liberation and complete freedom, in which all things can go well. Then everything will be free-flowing. You will not need to explain what the kingdom of heaven is all about. (606-224, 2009/01/13)
25. Together with the power of love, the power of law is necessary for protecting love's life force. The universe is inclined to unite to protect the right of existence. Heaven's law serves to protect all things so that they will unite in harmony.
The world of goodness does not change, and that is the realm where God can dwell. God can dwell there because it is a world with a strong life force springing from love. We need to understand that the word.
'love' means to live for the sake of others, not for our own sake. God's purpose in creating the universe was not for His own sake; it was to establish relationships between counterparts. We are the beings who can become God's complete partners. Thus, He created the universe for us. (111-171, 1981/02/15)
26. The final destination of heavenly fortune is the world where the Will is fulfilled. That world, where perfected people live, has to be secured based on God's law. To do so, the good sovereignty should be able to connect to you, your family, your people, the nation, and the world, all the way to the cosmos.
In that world, you should be able to say, 'I am a person who is entitled to be under the governance of universal law.' You should be able to extend this affirmation to the levels of your family, tribe, people, nation, and world.
God's providence will head for such a place, and heavenly fortune will take the same direction. Heavenly fortune will head for the world of the one sovereignty of goodness. But we cannot jump there directly.
We must first pass through the individual, then the family, the tribe, the people, the nation, and the world.
Finally, we must unite the physical world and the spiritual world and proclaim the establishment of a good constitution, centering on good sovereignty. On that basis, future generations will be able to go from the individual level to the family level naturally, without any struggle. That will be known as the era of the kingdom of heaven on earth. (078-139, 1975/05/08)
27. God is the sovereign and king of the heavenly and earthly realms; all worlds and all nations cannot but be under the reign of God. Logically, we can conclude that every place should be the kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven. Had this happened, humankind would not have suffered through a miserable history. Nor would we be divided by race or nationality.
There would have been no breakdown or divisions between black, white, and yellow, or Koreans and Americans. Instead, as the descendants of Adam, we would be one homogeneous people, a single culture and a single world. That world would be neither democratic nor communist; it would be ruled eternally by the eternal sovereign God, through His constitution. (074-173, 1974/12/09)
28. In the course of God's providence of salvation, human beings have been governed by many laws, such as those of the Old Testament.
However, until now, there has been no law by which God could govern the world of goodness, the world in which God's Will and purpose are fulfilled, and His providence is completed, beyond the world of the providence of salvation.
The era will arrive when God's law will become manifest. When that happens, individuals, families, nations, and the entire world will need to accommodate God's law. It will take effect not only on earth but also in the eternal, heavenly world.
Those who have been trained in His law will be protected naturally in their living environment and also when they pass into the spirit world. I am saying that such an era is approaching. The age in which God's law is established will be the age m of good sovereignty, a world of a higher dimension.
This law will not look at the world from a two-dimensional perspective of the physical world; it will have a three-dimensional perspective that includes the spirit world. We must rise to greet such a world. (078-136, 1975/05/08)
29. If you take a position to pursue your self-interests, you will violate the law, but if you take action to seek the benefit of the whole, no one can cast accusations about that.
Even God, heaven, and earth will have to recognize it, and the public recognition you receive will not change even after thousands of years. If you live to establish righteousness based on the absolute law, such things as restoration through indemnity or hell no longer exist.
You will be entirely within the realm of liberation and complete freedom. If you, or anyone, else acts from this foundation, you will be eternally protected and raised by God and the cosmos.
God will bequeath to you the right to inherit from Him, the right to live together with Him, and the right to share joy with Him, and He will grant you everything that is recognized to have universal value. You will inherit it all. (545-050, 2006/11/18)
30. If the sovereign and the people together set the standard of good and evil for the nation, who sets the standard of good and evil for the universe? It will be God, who is the Sovereign Lord of this universe, and next, it will be the global citizens of the world. Just as they represent their people in their nations now, they will come to represent the world as global citizens.
That is why it makes sense that the constitution that must emerge to distinguish good and evil in the universe should be made jointly by God and human beings.
Although there exist laws of nations decided by national governments and the people, the unchanging constitution of the universe, reflecting both the views and opinions of the Sovereign and the global citizens, has not yet been established.
Nevertheless, the conscience, the ideals, and the hope of human beings are unchanging. Therefore, a constitution will have to emerge that is in agreement with them. It will secure life, and both God and human beings will rejoice over it. (079-175, 1975/07/27)
31. Each of you should be able to stand tall, feeling no shame before your ancestors and clan. When you face the judgment of God, you should be people whom God can love and praise. In front of God, there should be testimonies about you, of your endurance through unbearable situations, of your victories in difficult positions, of your self-sacrifice to resolve some circumstances in other people's lives, and so forth. You should do whatever it takes to achieve something that you can be proud of before God.
You have no place to hide in the universe. You cannot flee to a place you like. A human being cannot escape from the realm that is arranged according to the law of the universe. You must follow that path.
Please understand that you are living under the governance of universal law, centered on the standard that in the future will be established in a formal constitution.
This constitution will be connected to the central teaching, the order, and principle of love for the family, society, nation, world, cosmos, and God Himself.
The only way you can be protected and supported by all laws, including the law of nature, and have the right of freedom, is to love others and live for the sake of others. (117-313, 1982/04/11)
32. You are not going to live in the eternal homeland, the eternal nation, for just one day. Therefore, you need to learn the protocols of life in the eternal world.
Even if you were to live there for just a month, you would not be exempted from them.
You need to learn the traditions that have been passed down to man and woman, father and mother, children, grandchildren, tribe, people, and nation. You want to live in that nation together with your family, yet you may face restrictions wherever you go. There are national boundaries, and you may not be able to go beyond them. You may be stopped everywhere you try to go.
If you commit sins or crimes here on earth, you will not be able to find a way out; entanglements from all directions will block you. That is why you first need thorough training on earth for a life centered on the original homeland.
(310-112, 1999/06/15)
33. The reason you can call yourselves owners of Cheon Il Guk in the Family Pledge is that we, the True Parents, as the central route, pioneered every field and level and settled everything in our generation, transcending all peoples, all nations, and even the boundary between the spiritual world and the physical world, throughout the past, present and future.
Adam and Eve brought about destruction in their generation, and we, the True Parents, resolved this in our generation. Further, centered on the fundamentals of the constitution of heaven nation, we established the foundation necessary to turn everything around 180 degrees and build the family and nation heading in a new direction.
Therefore, this new world that we have established cannot be judged by any conventional constitution, sovereignty, or tradition. It must be built based on new culture, tradition, and history. (493-021, 2005/04/18)
The directive to establish the constitution
The Cheon Il Guk Constitution articulates the rights and responsibilities of Cheon Il Guk citizens, contains the norms of life required for Cheon Il Guk to take root and be completed, and outlines the process by which Cheon Il Guk will be managed.
During the Enthronement Ceremony for God's Kingship in 2001, True Parents emphasized three points: lineage, human rights, and public money. They said that these three points are so important that they will be the foundation of the Cheon Il Guk Constitution.
Further, the Cheon Il Guk Constitution outlines five autonomous organs (branches of government) with separation of powers: the Cheon Jeong Won (Cheon Il Guk Executive Branch), responsible for administration; the Cheon Eui Won (Cheon Il Guk Universal Assembly), responsible for legislation; the Cheon Beob Won (Cheon 11 Guk Judiciary), responsible for legal matters; the Cheon Jae Won (Cheon Il Guk Foundation), responsible for finances; and the Cheon Gong Won (Cheon Il Guk Office of Communications), responsible for public affairs and media.
34. Now that God has attained kingship, He needs to rule according to the law. At the Enthronement Ceremony for God's Kingship, I announced the three major points of the constitution of heaven's nation.
At that time, the constitution of the family came into effect. If you live according to this law, you will not need religion. What was the consequence of the Fall in the Garden of Eden? It was that human beings were unable to live with God in their family.
They could not attend God as their Heavenly Parent. That is why we must become filial children in front of the Heavenly Parent and fulfill our responsibilities as patriots in the nation, saints in the world, and divine sons and daughters in heaven and on earth, as God desires. This should have occurred naturally.

35. Henceforth, you have ironclad rules to follow. The first rule is to keep your lineage pure, even if threatened by death.
The second rule is to never violate the human rights of others. Whether a man or a woman, black or white, all human beings are equal. You must not discriminate or violate others' human rights. You have no right to make personnel changes by whim, simply because you do not like somebody personally. You must not make such changes thoughtlessly.
Among those personnel may be people whose ancestors are better than yours. If you happen to remove someone whose descendant may become a nation's president, your ancestors will suffer. When you educate people about human rights, you need a heart of true love, of living for the sake of others. Those who live that way are the mainstream.
God's creation of heaven and earth began with this. It is unforgivable if you dismantle this mainstream teaching. This is the second of the three sins.
The third rule is not to steal public money. I tell you: never use public money as you please. These are the three ironclad rules. (342-298, 2001/01/13)
36. The first condition you must meet is not to be ashamed of yourself in your heart. We need the constitution of heaven's nation, laws for particular nations, and laws for families, but you must first master yourself.
If you fail to do so, the world cannot stand upright. This is the biggest issue. Thus, you must keep your heart level. If you can keep it so, then wherever your heart travels, you can stand at the center. From that point, as an individual, you should climb through the eight stages. (516-236, 2006/02/07)
37. Now that I have taught you about God and the spirit world, the time has come for me to implement the laws of Cheon Il Guk. In Cheon Il Guk, the providence of salvation no longer applies. Once I have finished teaching you, I cannot hold on to you and live with you.
Since I have clearly shown and taught you all that you need to know, I can no longer take responsibility for you. On this earth, we, the True Parents, have established the way to heaven, set all the indemnity conditions for you, and educated you.
If, despite this, you do not believe everything, what are you going to do when you go to the spirit world? We even thoroughly revealed the reality of the spirit world from written messages.
Both God, the spiritual True Parent, and we, the substantial True Parents, have fulfilled our responsibility. On that foundation, we proclaimed Cheon Il Guk. We even told you about its constitution. (365-196, 2002/01/08)
38. Your family needs to substantially manifest and represent God, who presents Himself to you as the True Parent, True Teacher, and True King. Then you can enter the kingdom of heaven and realize His ideal of creation fully. This is why we, the True Parents, established the new constitution of heaven's nation.
Everything that I said accords with the reality of the spirit world. Therefore, your family needs to bear fruit on earth that can be harvested for heaven. You need to become God's embodiments who can store many blessings from heaven in your barn. Put aside everything but these words.
Once you establish a family that manifests God as His embodiments, you can enter the era in which God is omnipresent and immanent on earth and in heaven and reigns with full authority and power everywhere. I am speaking of a world where everything is done according to what God thinks and desires.

39. I would like the United Nations to amend its constitution so that it consists of five branches: the legislature, judiciary, executive, public affairs, and finance. After the legislature, judiciary, and executive, the fourth branch is public affairs, including media. The fifth branch deals with finance. The UN should make a constitution like that.
The most fearful branch is public affairs. I expose every hair on my scalp and face; I hide nothing that I am doing from the world. Likewise, the world must become transparent, like a fine-cut hexagonal crystal.
It will be a world where lies do not work, where everything is disclosed and nothing is hidden. (426-107, 2003/11/19)
40. Once I proclaim the opening of the gates of the unified world of peace, we will establish the constitution of heaven's nation, whose government will be divided into five branches.
We are now preparing the draft of that constitution. Ultimately, that draft should be presented to the United Nations, with supporting testimonies so that they will accept it. In our draft constitution, we considered the Cain world's reality, but we also added content that we alone can present. This is how we should write the constitution of heaven's nation.
Once we present it, the UN General Assembly should convene for 40 days to review its contents and prepare to ratify it. Once the General Assembly promulgates the constitution of heaven's nation, then it will be possible to implement it.
We will have 40 days to integrate the various agendas within the UN and complete it. Once the only constitution of heaven's nation is proclaimed, opening the era in which there is separation between the five branches, we will be in a position to usher in a world of peace. (606-091, 2009/01/07)
41. Once we inaugurate the Abel UN and establish its constitution, we will be able to move the world without obstruction. If we establish a substantial structure with five branches following this constitution, the world will have to officially recognize it. We have now entered this stage.
Therefore, we need to meet all the constitutional requirements for the separation of the three powers. Then we need to include public affairs and finance, and so welcome the era of the five branches. Once we enter the era of the five branches, we can serve the whole world.
With this structure for managing heaven's nation, we can serve as lords of all things in God's garden, embracing the world. This is not a dream. We are now arriving at the era when we can make this come true. (588-073, 2008/04/12)
