The Heavenly Calendar and the Golden Wedding Anniversary
Lunar True Parents celebrated True God's Day on Lunar New Year's Day for the first time in 2010 (February 14). Before that, we had celebrated True God's Day on New Year's Day by the solar calendar. On that 43rd True God's Day, True Parents also announced the heavenly calendar.
True Father said, as a preparation for the Foundation Day of Cheon Il Guk, that the existing solar calendar and the lunar calendar would now stand in the positions of Cain and Abel. They would perform the role of assisting the heavenly calendar, by which the work of the providence will be remembered and recorded.
The Holy Wedding of True Parents in 1960 was the new beginning for the realization of God's ideal for the creation and the starting point of salvation for humankind. The Golden Wedding Anniversary of True Parents was celebrated in two consecutive years, 2009 and 2010, which marked respectively the 50th year and the 50th anniversary of their Holy Wedding.
Because their Holy Wedding has such cosmic and historic significance, it was celebrated in, both years, and each was accompanied by an important providential event. Specifically, on the 16th day of the 3rd lunar month in 2009 (April 19), along with the golden wedding anniversary celebration marking the beginning of the 50th year since the Holy Wedding, True Parents held the Rally for the Secure Settlement of Peace between Cain and Abel at the Cosmic Level for the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
The following year, on the 16th day of the 3rd lunar month in 2010 (April 29), they held the Coronation for the Settlement of the Abel UN at the congratulatory luncheon on the golden anniversary of their Holy Wedding.
1. People live without knowing that the world can change in one second. They have no idea that individuals can be divided in a matter of one second, according to their absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience.
Likewise, two worlds were divided according to whether people used the lunar calendar or the solar calendar. In short, the East and the West were divided. Although all humankind came from the same ancestors, people do not know how we came to be divided into the West and the East, how we came to be divided into different countries, and even how brothers and sisters came to be divided.

2. The solar calendar and the lunar calendar should not be divided. The lunar calendar year has 11 fewer days than the solar calendar year. That is why every three years, another month is added to the year in the lunar calendar to make up the difference.
That 3rd year has 13 months in all. Only the lunar calendar can inherit the origin of the number 13. In the solar calendar, there is never a situation where the 12-month year must be adjusted by adding another month, making a year based on the number 13.
However, in the lunar calendar, the whole adjusts to accommodate a smaller part. In other words, by adding one small number, it can digest the full. This means it can swallow the Devil's world all in one gulp. (613-208, 2009/07/07)
3. The Golden Wedding Anniversary of the True Parents, the Golden Wedding Anniversary of the True Teacher and the True Owner can take place only once in eternal history. The Golden Wedding Anniversary of True Parents cannot take place twice. The Golden Wedding Anniversary of the True Teacher cannot take place twice.
The Golden Wedding Anniversary of the True King and Queen cannot take place twice. Hence, our Golden Wedding Anniversary will be celebrated from 2009 through 2010. It is an important period, during which time we need to finish everything and then move forward. It is reckoned as one event.
(611-074, 2009/05/06)
4. During the year 2009, when we are celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary, everything must be completed, concluded, and consummated. In short, we need to see the fruit, the completion, and the finish of everything. We are completing, concluding, and consummating everything.
We have to conclude the three stages of formation, growth, and completion and march forward into the world of eternal life and eternal happiness.

Cosmic Assemblies for the Settlement of the True Parents
The 'Cosmic Assembly for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind Who, as God's Embodiment, Proclaim the Word' was held on several occasions, including on July 8, 2010, at the Cheon Jeong Gung Palace and on July 24 at the Manhattan Center in New York.
The following year, on April 24, 2011, an event was also held at Songdo Convensia Convention Center in Incheon, and attended by more than 12,000 people including church leaders, members, and ambassadors for peace from all parts of Korea. At this assembly, True Parents declared before heaven that Korea is the fatherland and homeland of God.
True Parents world-speaking departed from the United States in the early morning on the day of the event and arrived at Incheon Airport after a long flight. Yet, they held this event only a few hours after their arrival without taking any rest.
The very next day, they took another long flight to Europe to begin their speaking tour in Europe. In this effort, True Parents forgot about the limitations of their physical bodies.
With single-minded determination to conclude the entire providence of restoration and give rebirth to humanity, they went on their world-speaking, tour of 10 nations: 8 nations in Europe, Las Vegas in the United States, and Nigeria.
Through the 'Cosmic Assembly for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind Who, as God's Embodiment, Proclaim the Word,' the True Parents achieved ultimate oneness and completed, concluded and consummated the providence of restoration.
They proclaimed the completion of all the responsibilities and missions for which they had come to earth. On the foundation of having accomplished everything, they could settle with the stature and authority of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, the king of kings.
In short, through these speaking events, they proclaimed the arrival of the age when the original Eden was restored, returning to the age before the Fall and the age before Satan came into existence.
5. Which is more important, the Word or the substance of the Word? Religions today are not sure of the substance and thus place more importance on the Word. Therefore, it is difficult for them to place the two as one. In the Unification Church, however, we do not prioritize the Word.
Since we have the substance or embodiment of God, the actions of the substance are testified to by the Word. We have the content that unites the internal and the external.
The assemblies at which God's embodiments proclaim the Word have begun. They are to lead those in religious and academic circles to the solutions to the main issues they encounter in their search for the truth. (2010/07/08)
6. The Cosmic Assemblies for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind Who, as God's Embodiment, Proclaim the Word are events to proclaim God's Word. For the name of the event, the term 'embodiment' was placed in front of the term 'Word.'
Heaven and earth must be connected. This started with the individual, and it must be concluded on the final level, with these Cosmic Assemblies for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind Who, as God's Embodiment, Proclaim the Word. Connecting heaven and earth means achieving harmony and unity.
Which comes first, harmony or unity? Harmony comes first. Without harmony, unity cannot come about, as everyone will act in the in way. That is why we need to unite in harmony. A person whose mind and body are not united cannot become a unified subject partner.
Only when two people husband and wife become one, can they unite to make daughters and sons who can then become one with them. If the two are not first united, the third or the fourth person cannot come into being. (2011/04/03)
7. We, the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, have now settled. Since we are the substance of the Word, we need to proclaim the Word. The Word spoken by the substance of Truth, that is by the settled substantial beings of Truth, can liberate the universe.
This is the meaning of the proclamation that True Parents are the substance of the Word. The settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind signifies the settlement of the substance of the Word. That is why what we are proclaiming is that we are the substantial Word. (2011/11/27)
8. The things that True Parents pray and wish for do not just fall into our laps. Heavenly Parent watches over us from a position of liberation, and no one can stand in His way. Therefore, our prayers and wishes will be fulfilled in due course.
Understanding this, I hope that you will not become a pitiable group of people who are hesitant to follow the path of the Will. I am speaking these words as the person who has fulfilled the responsibility of the world-level Messiah and whose prayers and wishes extend far beyond the tribal level.
These words are to proclaim the glory of the world before the Fall, when the first human beings did not have their self-centered views, but lived in heaven and on earth full of freedom where God is free, victorious, and supreme. The words that I am proclaiming now represent the fruits of my entire life.
They bring everything to a conclusion, from the first to the last. Such is the meaning of the Cosmic Assembly for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind Who, as God's Embodiment, Proclaim the Word. (2011/02/03)
9. The Parent of the Cosmos is the incorporeal God, and the Parents of Heaven and Earth are the substantial Parents. Only when these two sets of parents unite as one, can they become the personal Parents and then go on to become the Parent of the Cosmos, the Parents of Heaven and Earth, and the Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind. Unless God becomes a personal God, He cannot become the True Parent. God needs to become a personal God so that He can assume a body and give birth to sons and daughters. (450-175, 2004/05/21)
10. The Parents of the Cosmos, the Parents of Heaven and Earth, and the Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind are, to put it simply, the Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind throughout the cosmos.
God, the Parent of the Cosmos, needs to become human beings man and woman, and this man and woman have to become the True Parents of humankind. In other words, these human beings have to become God's body, become the visible God, God in visible substantial form.
Likewise, God also needs to assume the bodies of these human beings. That is why the True Parents naturally inherit the names of the incorporeal Parent of the Cosmos and the corporeal Parents of Heaven and Earth.
By emerging victorious from battles with the spirit world and going through the process of restoration to be in accord with God, the Parents of Heaven and Earth can become one with the parents of the Cosmos and become the Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind throughout the cosmos. (436-136, 2004/02/07)
11. The Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind are the union of the incorporeal substantial form of the Parent of the Cosmos and corporeal substantial forms of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, living together in joy centering on love. The husband and wife who attend the spiritual God and the God of substance become the ancestors of humankind.
There cannot be two sets of ancestors. There cannot be two sets of parents. No matter what, there can be only one. There is one father, one mother, one set of ancestors, and one set of grandchildren.
Human beings are to resemble God and manifest God's mind and body. It is for this that they were given substantial forms. Only by having physical bodies can they procreate. Having physical bodies, the family of the Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind has the mission to bequeath everything they achieved to the citizens of Heaven's nation, giving birth to them and raising them as sons and daughters free of the flaws of the Fall and restoration.
They must secure the foundation for these children to build the kingdom of heaven here on earth. Then everyone can enter the kingdom of heaven in heaven directly from earth. (436-138, 2004/02/07)
12. Blessed families need to go through eight stages, revolutionizing themselves by paying indemnity, revolutionizing themselves through their conscience, and entering the realm of one heart.
You need to attain the positions of the king and queen on the levels of the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, and cosmos to become the object partners of God in substantial form, giving and receiving with Him both horizontally and vertically.
I am scattering you as seeds here on earth to bear fruit in the heavenly world. You are sown as seeds to grow in this world so that you can become fruit in the heavenly world. You will be the fruit of love, stored in the barn of the kingdom of heaven in heaven.
The earthly world is the place where you make preparations to enter this barn. Therefore, unless the earthly world is perfected, the heavenly world cannot be perfected.
I am saying that this is what you must do as owners of Cheon Il Guk. This is how you can inherit everything that the Parent of the Cosmos and the Parents of Heaven and Earth have fulfilled. You need to become the kings and queens among filial children and the kings and queens among patriots.
Heaven is expecting you to attain such a position. You need to stay firmly in that position to achieve the eternal age of peace and prosperity. You have to liberate the fatherland. Only then can the era of liberation come. (438-091, 2004/02/15)
13. All beings resemble God. They were created to realize the substantial realm of God's love with True Parents. That is why God, who is spirit, and the embodiments of God have to become one.
To establish this substantial realm of God's love, I have worked so hard and for so long. I faced opposition at each of the eight levels, including the individual, family, tribe, people, and nation, but I did not break. Instead, my opponents were broken.
They stepped forward to oppose me in the realm based on self-centered awareness, but I advanced in the realm based on the awareness of others. I invested myself without thinking of myself. That is how I could sever all bonds with the fallen world and bring God to settle in my body.
Therefore, you need to go through the eight levels, from the individual to the family, tribe, people, nation, world, and cosmos, and bring God to settle in your body. You need to resemble God centering on the family of the holy Son and Daughter.
Moreover, you have to inherit the form of True Parents' family by re-experiencing everything from the womb to marriage and inheriting God's realm of heart. In this way, you can complete the form of True Parents' family and enter God's kingdom. (414-284, 2003/08/04)
14. In the age of God's embodiments, it is not enough for you to know only about the body. You also need to know how your body embodies God Himself. The age of God's embodiments is the age after the original Garden of Eden is restored.
It is the age free from the Fall that recovers the age before Satan came into existence. It is the age when the angelic world moves at Adam and Eve's command. Furthermore, it is the age in which everything moves as God wills. You just cannot go against His desires. Only when you become sons and daughters who live as His object partners, can you form an eternal parent-child relationship with Him. (2009/10/13)
15. Heavenly Father, we need to indemnify the age of restoration of the Garden of Eden on the family level by 2012 and guide people to be registered in the kingdom of heaven. By centering on the Fourth Israel, may You unite the realms of nations and religions.
By centering on True Parents, may the Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind settle, and the incorporeal substantial world and the corporeal substantial world unite as one. Through this, may the settlement of heaven, heart,h, and humankind take place, whereby human beings in the liberated worlds of heaven and earth bring everything to perfection and fruition.
Now we can realize the ideal of the kingdom of heaven, where people living in the kingdom on earth can go directly to the kingdom in heaven. The time when all this can be achieved has come.
Now we can march forward to the world of harmony and unity, where everything we have proclaimed is in accord with Your Will, Heavenly Father. It is all being realized; in particular the teaching of the oneness of the Parent of the Cosmos, the Parents of Heaven and Earth, and the Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind. (429-264, 2003/12/28)
16. In a God-centered family there is a secure settlement for everyone. In such a family, everyone will be peaceful and happy. They will have no concerns or worries. People will no longer talk about utopia as an unreachable ideal. All you will need to do is to live your life, and you will achieve everything.
Therefore, in your prayer from now on, you will be able to confidently report, 'The time for gaining liberation and complete freedom is over. From now on, I will live in peace and prosperity in a time of secure settlement.' (462-243, 2004/07/28)
17. Secure settlement means to be peaceful and happy forever without conflict. It signifies the age of peace and prosperity, a utopian world. Can the age of peace and prosperity come when our bodies and minds are struggling with each other? No, it cannot.
So, returning to the basics, you need to believe unconditionally that my words are right, stand firm where you are, and say, 'This is how I am. Even if heaven and earth change and the sun falls out of the sky, I will not change.' You have to say, 'Even if natural catastrophes take place in heaven and on earth, I will not change.' Shooting stars streak through the sky.
Even the sun's fall would be very rapid, but you, unchanging, have to stand above all such phenomena. The age of peace and prosperity can come only when you are securely settled. It is not a realm of personal existence. It is a realm that transcends history.
The ideal world of happiness comes about only when all people usher in the age of peace and prosperity on behalf of God. It will be a utopian world. There is nothing better. (462-244, 2004/07/28)
