1. Any one of you can become a representative of the world if you wish to. What you have to do is love the world as God does and love the people of your nation as God does. Do that with the love and heart that God had when He created His own home in heaven and on earth.
You each must start with yourself, working hard with blood, sweat, and tears, to pass through the process of re-creation. Starting with yourself, each of you should reorganize your clan and connect it to the great way of Heaven. As descendants of the Fall, your mission is to indemnify history.
Even though I have walked my path while persecuted and alone, I have risen beyond the national level to the world level. Thus, I need to proclaim the True Parents to the world.
When the proclamation of the real True Parents is completed, all the devil's wickedness has to retreat. If you hold on to his wickedness, you will be shattered; lightning will strike you. The spirit world will not leave you alone.

The conditions needed to proclaim True Parents
2. I proclaimed the restoration of the rights of the eldest son in 1988, based on that year's Olympic Games. I proclaimed the restoration of the right of the Parents and the right of kingship and the settlement of the right of kingship both in the heavenly world and the earthly world. What should I do next?
The nations of this world have no true owner. Their current owner is Satan. The devils of Satan's bloodline are the owners. Under the false parent, the world has a false climate. In the midst of all this, I proclaimed the True Parents.
(202-177, 1990.05.20)
3. Despite worldwide opposition, I planted the flag of individual victory and family victory and laid the foundation to send more than 25,000 families out as tribal messiahs in 150 nations so they could succeed on the levels of the tribe, people, and nation.
No one can disregard this accomplishment. The Messiah is on the earth, where he will succeed, and, centering on his bloodline, the offspring of heaven will grow up and inherit the kingship. When that is in place, Satan cannot oppose me. Satan came into existence because the True Parents had not been proclaimed.
That took place at the completion level of the growth stage. Yet, the proclamation of the True Parents occurs at the completion level of the completion stage when True Parents emerge and fulfill their portion of responsibility.
They are to realize an ideal family of love after passing through the realm of dominion based on accomplishments through the Principle and arriving at the realm of God's direct dominion. Therefore, the devil cannot appear once the True Parents have been proclaimed.
I must fight the devil and bring him to natural surrender on earth; on that victorious foundation the True Parents will be proclaimed and Satan will no longer be able to appear. (224-057, 1991.11.21)
4. Before I proclaimed the True Parents, how much did I suffer? How many times was I cursed?
And how many times did I go to prison? I have been imprisoned as many as six times. I declared the coming of True Parents after all these hardships. Therefore, you may consider me the most pitiful king of kings in the world, but I do not feel sorry for myself, even in my dreams.
Parents with children who have gone wrong should shed tears. They should feel anguish. Heaven punishes those who try to avoid shedding tears or feeling such anguish. The reason I make you church members shed tears is to reduce the tears that have to be shed by your countrymen. (211-162, 1990.12.30)
5. I have experienced prison life in four nations. My prison life represents four directions north, south, east, and west. In all, I went to prison six times; the number is six. Six is Satan's number.
I had to go through all that to create a realm of liberation. Even as I was being persecuted to that degree, I did not remain in the realm of accusation. I crushed that realm under my feet and waved the flag of victory, and I am now proclaiming the True Parents before heaven and earth. (305-034, 1998.03.29)
6. In this failed world, with vicious fighting everywhere, I have declared the True Parents. To proclaim True Parents throughout the world, I have had to accomplish my mission as the True Parents at all stages: the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, and cosmos.
I have had to reach the point where God Himself could acknowledge True Parents and where True Parents themselves could acknowledge True Parents. This announcement is truly historic. (202-168, 1990.05.20)
7. We must proclaim the coming of the True Parents. There is no gospel greater than this in all the history. On earth, there is no happier news than this. There is no greater standard of peace.
The True Parents, who come in the Last Days, are the embodiments of the ideal. You, too, should live as true parents; only then can you build the palace of true love on the foundation of true love. (245-151, 1993.02.28)
8. The Unification Church has proclaimed the coming of the True Parents. If Adam and Eve had not fallen in the Garden of Eden, God would have become the True Parent. Adam and Eve would also have become the True Parents.
With God as the vertical True Parent and Adam and Eve as the horizontal True Parents, vertical and horizontal True Parents would have been united. From this perspective, all four directions would have come into balance.
(202-166, 1990.05.20)
9. How is it that I could proclaim the True Parents? The democratic and communist worlds represent the brothers Abel and Cain. These two worlds are like two sons but are fighting each other. I have reconciled them, and I now stand in a position that both can accept. On that foundation, I could finally come to Korea with the authority of the Parent and proclaim Mother and myself as the True Parents to the whole nation. (204-188, 1990.07.08)
10. You should understand why I have suffered. If this were for my country, I would have had no reason to do so. I am going this way for the sake of the world and Heaven's nation.
Korea has done all kinds of things against me over the past forty years. Nonetheless, I carried all the burdens of the Korean people on behalf of my parents, my brothers and sisters, and all of those who are even remotely related to me. Then, after meeting all the conditions, I came to Korea and blessed this country. That is why I proclaimed True Parents in Korea. (204-187, 1990.07.08)
11. The devil killed the true ancestor of humankind. The first Adam became God's enemy due to the Fall. Afterward, the one who came as the second Adam was Jesus, the Messiah.
However, human beings, who were supposed to be God's sons and daughters, killed this Messiah who came as the Savior. How serious is the sin of imprisoning and killing the one who was to establish True Parents? Those who did this cannot escape responsibility. (219-335, 1991.10.13)
12. The people of Israel wandered for two thousand years. Look back at their history. The swords of their enemies shed the blood of many, while others were trampled by horses. They died amid resentment and cursing, disappearing like the morning dew.
Barely surviving two thousand years of suffering, they were finally liberated with the support of America. The devil killed the first parents. His sons and daughters killed the second True Parent.
Throughout the world, they have mobilized ideologies and systems to kill the third True Parent, yet amazingly, he has survived all perils and hardships and has proclaimed the way of the True Parents on earth. How God has longed for this! (219-335, 1991.10.13)
True Father's View of True Mother
13. To this day, my wife and I have led our lives upholding our calling according to Heaven's desire. I am proud that we have done so and would like to share this with all the people of the Republic of Korea and everyone throughout the world.
None of you can imagine the thorny path that my wife and I have walked. We have invested painstaking efforts, working in America, the Soviet Union, China, Japan, and other parts of the world, to rescue all humankind from this world of evil and sin and to lay a foundation for the reunification of the Korean peninsula.
Now that the entire foundation has been firmly built, it is time to reveal it to our people. The Korean people, with whom we share the same blood, have not understood us, and the persecution and sorrow we have faced at their hands over the past decades has been difficult to bear. It was not only governments that persecuted both me and the Unification Church, but even some Christians slandered me out of malice.
Despite these difficult circumstances, my wife and I have united fully in true love for the completion of God's Will and have found our way through every difficulty. Today people in more than 160 nations attend us as the True Parents, and their numbers increase every day. (231-007, 1992.05.11)
14. Mother had to become a true mother, a true wife, and a true daughter. To complete even one of these three missions is difficult, but Mother has completed them all. In serving her husband, she served from the position of a daughter and a younger sister. Thereafter, she served me as the man with the highest title in the entire world. It was only then that she could become the True Mother.
Furthermore, she had to be a mother by giving birth to sons and daughters. She had to give birth to children with the potential to excel on a global scale, which she did; every one of our children is intellectually gifted.
They have outstanding intellectual capacity to offer the world or any aspect of society. If they have not demonstrated these qualities yet, it is due to their lack of effort. In terms of inborn talent and ability, each of them is very blessed, as I have been. They have the potential to accomplish anything they wish.
(232-307, 1992.07.10)
15. Mother is by nature an introspective and quiet person, but she has learned to be observant about her surroundings and has become increasingly active. This is a result of the training she has received since she met me. She is indeed a quiet and well-mannered woman.
Before our wedding, when she visited Cheongpa-dong, she would always come and go on the same path. I observed her behavior. She took the same path the first time she came and again the second time she came. In those days, I was looking for a woman who could become my Mother, and I was giving the matter much consideration.
When I saw how Mother chose to walk along the same path each time, I said to myself, “She is the one.” Furthermore, I was pleased with her name, Hak Ja Han (韓鶴子). Her surname, Han, refers both to the study of the Chinese classics and to a feeling of bitter sorrow.
Her name suggests a scholar researching deeply about God. I thought that if a woman could become a scholar of bitter sorrow, she could certainly become God's partner. I liked Mother's surname and her given name. Because of her background, I trained he,r and she has come to where she is today.
So I am proclaiming her victory as the True Mother. As a representative of all women, she has crossed the mountain of bitter sorrow. That is why I am proclaiming her to be the root of all mothers. (232-307, 1992.07.10)
16. We have to change the lineage and ownership. Originally, Adam should have become the owner before Satan claimed ownership, and when Adam became the owner, God would have become the owner.
But God has not yet become the owner because Adam has not become the owner to recover the ownership that Eve lost, I must go out to the world and straighten everything out. That is, I must regain and return ownership to God. Yet ownership cannot come to me directly; it has to come through my children and Mother.
This is to go in reverse; that is how restoration is done. Henceforth, Eve should not stand behind me; she should stand beside me. That is why I have Mother stand next to me. Men should stand behind Father and attend him, and women should stand behind Mother and attend her.
After solidly laying the foundation for husband and wife to become one, we held the assembly to proclaim the liberation of women. (229-155, 1992.04.11)
17. To this day, no one has known Mother. I invested myself in her through three stages, formation, growth, and completion. Because it is time to seek sons and daughters in the perfected world devoid of the Fall, you can proclaim clearly that the True Father is Sun Myung Moon and the True Mother is Hak Ja Han.
If you do not do so, the spirit world will not be able to work with you. Even if you boldly proclaim this to the world, no one will oppose you. That is so only because of the Parent's victory. (229-156, 1992.04.11)
Changes after the Proclamation of True Parents
18. Now that the True Parents are proclaimed on earth, the realm of the major religions can be liberated and saved, which is to say that the realm of the major religions will eventually disappear.
In the course of the providence of salvation, spirits could come down to earth mainly through the providential religions: Judaism, Christianity, and the Unification Church. I have gone beyond the world level, and now I have returned to my homeland, proclaiming the True Parents on the national level.
This is noteworthy in the history of the universe. No one in the world doesn't know who I am. We have tribal messiahs; they are like branches that connect to the national level, upon which is built the global foundation. And then, once they connect the vertical standard, which is True Parents, to the nation, everything will be completed. (204-309, 1990.07.11)
19. Now that we have proclaimed the True Parents, from a providential viewpoint we enter an age when we have to restore the standards appropriate for the right of the eldest son, the right of the parents, and the right of the king.
Therefore, the most important thing for us to do is to live according to God's Principles and laws. To realize the ideal of creation, we have to live according to the Principle of Creation.
The Principle of Creation is not something vague that is needed just for the providence of salvation. The Principle of Creation will continue when the world that God purposed is realized; everyone will follow the way of God's Principle. So I remind you that your portion of responsibility remains.
The realm of the human portion of responsibility needed protection before the Fall, and it needs even greater protection today in this fallen world.
(212-203, 1991.01.06)
20. Even though God's providence of restoration continued throughout history, over countless years since the creation, the ideal standard was not established. Upon my arrival, the Unification Church was established and made it possible to reveal the truth.
As a result, I have announced the True Parents and the Completed Testament Age. This is a historic event. Yet, it is more than an event; it will serve as the starting point for the building of a new world culture.
What is the new world culture? It is the fulfillment of the promise God made to humanity at the time of creation. It is neither the age of the providence of restoration nor the age of the providence of salvation; rather, it is the time to build the world of the ideal of creation. God thought of the words True Parents before human beings did.
The appearance of the True Parents is God's ideal of creation. The core of the ideal that God intended from the beginning is found in these words. Thus, Heaven cannot sit still. We are entering the age of worldwide transformation.
(248-189, 1993.09.30)
21. What will happen as a result of the proclamation of True Parents? In the spirit world, the good spirits that have served God and the evil spirits centered on Satan will divide.
When you center on the True Parents, you stand in the position of perfected Adam and Eve, whom the archangel should always protect, nurture, and help. Not just help; when you stand in the realm of perfected Adam, the archangel has to serve you as his real master maintaining the ideal of love.
This is the stage in which you give the commands. You will rise to this position. This is why we can say that this world is coming to an end.
Everything in Satan's world that started with the love of the false parents will come to an end, and there will be a new world centered on the new love of True Parents. With this as fertilizer, a new world will spring up.
Thus, you should follow a new lifestyle. New love brings forth new life. This new love is the love of True Parents. (202-274, 1990.05.25)
22. You should be grateful. What should you be grateful for? For being liberated from Satan. True Parents liberated you from Satan's lifestyle and Satan's lineage. Lifestyle is grounded in culture and accompanied by habits. Lifestyles differ according to cultural background.
The British lifestyle accords with British culture and the American lifestyle accords with American culture. Living environments differ. You should be liberated from your living environment. The next issue is lineage. These three liberations – from lifestyle, living environment, and lineage – will take place and naturally give rise to a holistic culture.
What do you do after you are liberated? Since you are liberated from Satan, you will go to God. If you are liberated from Satan, everything that was chained to him, the false parent, will be released as well.
Therefore, you will return to the heart of your parents, who have been freed. Once you return, you should not maintain the habits and lifestyle of Satan's world. You should thoroughly cleanse yourselves. (202-275, 1990.05.25)
23. You should grasp the era you are in. The proclamation of True Parents will bring an end to Satan, the parent of the fallen lineage. True Parents have fought against Satan's world.
The democratic and communist worlds are on the verge of collapse. Thus, once I proclaim True Parents, on the condition of that victory, Satan's world will fall. The end of Satan's world means that we will be liberated from Satan.
We have lived thus far within the realm of Satan's culture and lifestyle. However, what I am saying is that we are now being liberated from Satan's world, Satan's lifestyle, and Satan's lineage. After being liberated from Satan, we need to return to God. (202-276, 1990.05.25)
True Parents are the center of the three great subject partners principle 24
The word “religion”（宗教）refers to the “ground” (宗) and “teaching” (敎). It is the ultimate teaching. Religion is like the floor of a house. To have a house, we need a floor, and religion is that fundamental teaching.
The conclusion of that teaching is the True Parent, True Teacher, and True Owner, which is God. On this earth, there are false parents, raised teachers, and false owners. Because True Parents have not existed, false parents, false teachers, and false owners fixated on false love, have come into being.
We need to reverse that and attend the True Parents, True Teachers, and True Owners instead. These three are one – namely, God. By knowing God, we come to understand the foundational teachings that can become the root, trunk, and branches of all teachings. (324-135, 2000.06.18)
25. According to the “three great subject partners principle,” You should each become a true parent, true teacher, and true owner. The root of the three great subject partner ideas is true love.
True love means to invest more than 100. percent, invest again and then invest still more. You should become a parent, teacher, and owner with this view. The root is one. Therefore, with the true parent at the center, the teacher should come to the right side and the owner to the left.
These titles always stand together. You do not necessarily become a true parent just by giving birth to sons and daughters. You have to invest in them and raise them well. (205-021, 1990.07.15)
26. Even the president of a university should return home as a parent in the evening, and the president of a nation, who commands cabinet members, should go home to his or her family as a parent.
This is because parents are the center of the family. A school should take the position of a parent, and so should an owner. Though everyone goes out into the world, ultimately, they return to their parents.
You do not need to return home when you live in a place where you can meet your parents. That is the way it is when true love is the central focus. This is the basis for the saying that the king, the teacher, and the parents are one. I am now teaching you the truth, so I am the teacher of teachers. (215-081, 1991.02.06)
27. The core teaching embodied in the three great subject partners principle is the True Parents. Why are True Parents the core? It is because there is only one vertical standard by which to form the perpendicular relationship: true love.
True love has one perpendicular relationship, so it is the foundation for the representative family, which is the point where the True Parents and God meet.
Thus, those great teachers or sovereigns who are models of parental love seek to create the environment of the heavenly kingdom, which is impervious to Satan. Since the false love of the devil cannot invade there, a realm of liberation will unfold, and the kingdom of heaven will be formed as a new realm on earth.
(213-124, 1991.01.16)
