The Cheongpyeong Holy Ground

Beginning in the 1960s, True Parents offered countless conditions focusing on the whole region of Cheongpyeong Lake in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province.

Expansion of the Providential Foundation and the Annual Mottoes - TP Legacy
The Holy Wedding of True Parents, held on April 11, 1960 (16th day of the 3rd lunar month), is the starting point of the new providential history.

Site selection 

Beginning in the 1960s, True Parents offered countless conditions focusing on the whole region of Cheongpyeong Lake in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province. They did so to establish a model Cheon Il Guk community in which people from all over the world can live together, transcending barriers of race, culture, religion, and nationality.

They finally, particularly through fishing and camping, and finally, they were able to purchase land in the Cheongpyeong area that could be used as the providence progressed. 

Later, on July 10, 1972, True Parents stood on the summit of Mt. Wooleop in front of the Cheongpyeong training center and renamed 21 sites in the area. The guardian hill, originally called Mt. Jangnak and named Mt. Cheonseong by True Father, is in the shape of a folding screen. The flatland just under the summit was chosen as the holy ground for the main temple. 

This is the very site where the present Cheon Jeong Gung Palace stands. The neighboring hills and fields surrounding the training center are shaped like peony foundations, their foundations, are finally the restored Garden of Eden.  

1. I have traveled all over Korea. In the 1960s I sent you out to places throughout the country and I explored the noteworthy mountains of the whole nation. As I explored, I asked myself, “Where should I place the anchor of the Unification Church? Where should I lay this foundation?”

A good place certainly must run along a lake. The shores of the Eastern Sea are too far from Seoul. The western seashore is also not good because several cities are concentrated along it.

Furthermore, because the tidal variation is extreme, mudflats appear at ebb tide, and at high tide, I am covered with muddy water. Since I was looking to choose a place that was more than 30 minutes away from Seoul, I came to choose Songsan in the village of Seorak.

That region is wonderful. I chose a spot in the very best area of the Cheongpyeong region. (037-084, 1970/12/22) 

2. When I came here to Cheongpyeong, I noticed that it was a good location. Accordingly, I sat down right here and offered prayers. I thus began my lifelong habit of praying here as a way to offer devotion. No matter who the people are, what makes one group superior to others is their foundation of conditions and spiritual devotion.

For that reason, I climbed to the peak of Mt. Wooleop to pray alone. It seems like only yesterday. I am a person who may have nothing but the palms of my hands, but I always accomplish what I am, determined to do.

Once I say that I will accomplish something, I will accomplish it without fail.
(046-165, 1971/08/13) 

3. Money must be used for the sake of national purposes, global purposes, and purposes. I purchased land in Cheongpyeong from this standpoint. I bought this property for the sake of the world. 

I acquired the Cheongpyeong land to be the complete foundation of my work for the sake of the world. Because we are passing the age of the tribe to stand at the start of the world age, I have to create an international educational institute. Because of this, I can stand tall and proud.

I am spending money, yes, but since it is to make this come to pass, my conscience does not scold me. (033-160, 1970/08/11)

4. Our land in Cheongpyeong must become the worldwide fatherland, the hometown of heart for all people. I prayed that it would become a land that could connect heaven and earth, hope for the victorious ideal of creation, and be revered by the cosmos, liberating the heart of God.

I also prayed that it would become the sacred ground that would be the homeland of the world. 

We now have reached a point when the work to bring this about can begin in earnest. This is why I bought over 6,500 acres in this area. The mountain and the surrounding landform, are the grounds for our future hometown.

It will become the hometown of all people of faith. We already exist in 185 countries worldwide. I hope that Cheongpyeong will become the place where all the historical traditions of each of these countries can be displayed. 

Moreover, on this foundation, we will build a training center and educational institution that will teach people how to renew the traditions of various national cultures and show how to connect them with heaven.

I prayed for this land, and my prayer came true; this is a historical fact. The fact that the Unification Church has this global territory is a wonderful and victorious achievement. (282-046, 1997/03/10) 

5. I often go to Cheongpyeong. I do not go there because people are there waiting for me. Nobody is there. I go because I miss the place where I suffered in the past while preparing for my course. I miss the fields and mountains. And I miss the sound of the wind, and the songs of birds that drifted toward me.

I go there because I miss that feeling of coming into contact with the inspiring world of heaven through the flowing providence of nature. Until I die, nobody can remove that yearning from me. I miss the time when I made that connection to heaven while enduring and meditating from a position of hardship and hunger.

When I feel the wind caressing me, it causes the feelings I had in the past to intrude into my current reality. When these feelings from the past stimulate me in this way, I am moved to live well in my present daily life, so I like it.
(049-057, 1971/10/03) 

6. Knowing that the arrangement of the natural features at Cheongpyeong was good, I began buying land there. Centering on Cheongpyeong Lake, I prepared a place where we could build our training center. 

Originally, there was not even one plot of land where we could build a house. There was only a grave and a dozen or so mulberry trees. As I crossed the fields and mountains of Cheongpyeong and studied them, I realized that this very place was crucial.

Accordingly, I had no choice but to pitch my tent, acquire the land, around and build a training center. The reason we bought such a large piece of land is so that in the future, we can turn this place into an international training center, a headquarters where young people around the world can come and attend workshops.

I resolve that one valley can serve as an American village, one as an English village, one as a German village, and so forth. Once we have done that, I believe it can become a tourist attraction that people of the world will cherish and revere.
(100-234, 1978/10/14)

7. Cheongpyeong is the place where everything can be resolved, and we can make an entirely new beginning. The name itself symbolizes that. In Cheongpyeong, Cheong means “clear” and Pyeong means “level.”

In other words, Cheongpyeong means “that which is clear and level.” Since the ground has already been completely leveled, all we need to do is create a design and raise the pillars. We are ready to begin at any time. (060-155, 1972/08/17) 

8. If you cross to the right side in front of the Cheongpyeong training center, you will see our country cottage built on a gently curved plot of land. That country cottage is named Cheon Yu Jang, and if you go behind it and look around, you will see that it is a truly curious place.

This whole region looks like a peony blossom. There is even a Peony Hill in Pyongyang, isn't there? Why is that Peony Hill famous?

If you look at a peony blossom, the petals grow in a circle, and in the middle of, the Training Center there is a yellow stamen that harmonizes with the petals. That is where seeds are made. Peony Hill in Pyongyang is famous because it has that kind of topography. 

This region looks the same, with Mt. Cheonseong at the center. The places beyond this mountain are not at all beautiful; if you climb to the top and look in that direction, the topography seems haphazard.

On the other hand, the fields and mountains in our direction, with Mt. Cheonseong at the back, create the pattern of a folding screen and appear as the petals of a peony blossom. (100-235, 1978/10/14)

9. If you look out over the front garden of the Cheongpyeong Training Center, you feel as if the river water is not flowing. You cannot tell where it flows from or where it flows to.

You cannot even tell the path by which the river water flows in and out. You almost feel as if you are looking at a lake. And when you look down from the training center, the scenery is truly a masterpiece.

It is a beautiful place where the lakefront, mountains, and fields are harmonized, and we have every right to boast of it to the rest of the world. 

Therefore, when workshop participants are brought to such a scenic spot, they can be stimulated to have noble thoughts, whether they look at the mountain or the garden.

When all these natural elements come together in harmony – the mountaintop at sunset, the sun surmounting the highest peak or rising over the mountain in the morning, the birds flying in the midst of all that, or the scenes of people working in the heat of it all – Training Center one grows distracted without realizing it and enters into the realm of daydreams and imagination. In this way, the spirit of young people will rise.

All these are raw materials that bring associations to mind, and they take you from riding on this water now to crossing the Atlantic Ocean in the future or climbing over that mountain now to crossing the Himalayas and going on to India in the future. 

People like scenic places because they can think new thoughts and dream new dreams. When people see a flying crane that fits into the landscape like a part of a painting, or a small boat floating on the blue lake, they become sentimental and recite poetry.

They become so happy that they cannot help but stand up and dance in rhythm with it. The Cheongpyeong Training Center has an environment like that. (100-235, 1978/10/14) 

10. When you look at the entire region surrounding the Cheongpyeong Training Center, Cheon Seong, you see that it is gorgeous. I named the group of mountains behind the center, Cheonseung Dae, Tower of Heavens Victory).

The mountain directly behind it was originally called Mt. Jangnak, but I renamed it Mt. 

Cheonseong. It presents three peaks whose names sound the same. I named the middle peak Mt. 

Cheon Seong, with the character Seong, means “to be holy.” I called the peak on the right Mt. 

Cheon Seong, but with the character Seong meaning “to accomplish,” and I called the peak on the left Mt. 

Cheon means, with the character Seong meaning “a castle.” 

The three Seong mountains symbolize holiness, completion, Training Center, and protection. When deciding the names of these three Seong mountains, I thought that there should not be any higher mountains within three miles. 

In other words, there should be no mountain range within three miles connected to Mt. Jangnak that has a higher peak. Therefore, I went up and observed that Mt. Jangnak rose high in a straight line. 

It was truly beautiful, and it looked like a folding screen. The water of this place changes its appearance hundreds of times a day. This means harmony. Harmony means hope and boundlessness, and the prosperity of all. From that viewpoint, the site of the Cheongpyeong Training Center can be said to be the very best of places. (060-146, 1972/08/17)

11. I named the lake in front of Cheongpyeong Training Seong Cheonshim Lake, Heaven's Heart Lake). 

And I called the mountain in the front, Seonin Peak (Hermit Peak). Next, the mountain that is on the right side of Mt. Cheonseong, with the character seong meaning “to accomplish,” was named Mt. Cheonseon (Heaven's Good Mountain). I went up to the summit of the mountain that is directly in front of the training center and gave it the name Mt. Seonin. And the place that goes up and spreads in a line to Mt. 

Cheon Seong Heaven, with the character seong meaning “to be holy,” to the right side of the training center here, I called Cheonin Dae (Heaven Guide Tower). That is where we will build our main training center. 

That place will be off-limits to everyone except those who have reached a certain level in offering devotions and those special people who have come from abroad. We will make a sanctuary zone and build something like a palace.

There is a place at the base of that mountain where we can level up to 12 acres of land. I named it Cheonin Dae, which means heaven is guiding because we are going to pave a road from there. As you can see, the interpretation of all these names brings forth the concept of an ideal garden. (060-155, 1972/08/17) 

12. There needs to be a meeting place for the people of the world. Cheongpyeong is that place. We will build an international training center at Cheongpyeong. What are we going to do here?

We will prepare a block for each country where we have our mission branches: a Japanese block for Japan, an American block for America, and so on.

After buying a vast parcel of land, if a piece of it is designated to become the American block, we will entrust that area to Americans. They will create a village that suits the taste of Americans so that they can come and attend workshops. 

Will build our training center.

Accordingly, people who work in other countries will come to these headquarters to attend seminars, and they should feel that it is a glorious thing for them to come to this place, to participate in the workshops, and then return to their country.

To accomplish this, we need a place with beautiful scenery. And we need to make it so impressive that visitors who come to tour Korea will remember it.

Training center construction 

On July 12, 1971, True Parents established the Cheongpyeong training center in Gyeonggi Province, at mountain lot 75-1, Songsan-ri, Seorak-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, as the completion stage holy ground, on the foundation of the Cheongpa-dong church in Seoul and Sutaek-ri Training Center in Gyeonggi Province (now Sutaek-dong, Guri).

The training center had a floor space of 300 square meters and the lecture room was 230 square meters. The building itself was constructed of wooden slats and was large enough to lodge more than 200 people.

True Parents visited the construction site every day, even in bad weather during the rainy season, to supervise each step. The first meeting held at the training center was the Korean Pastors Summer Workshop, held for five days beginning on July 12, and attended by 28 Protestant pastors. 

13. When we were building the training center at Cheongpyeong, we completed it, within eight days, which should have taken as long as two months. I told them on the first day of July to level the ground, and on the second day, we started the construction work. In this way, we completed the construction in one week. 

The Cheongpyeong training center is 530 square meters. The training center lecture hall itself is 230 

square meters, so about 200 people can sleep there. We completed that building in one week. If you include today, it is 10 days. 

Today is July 11, 1971. We originally planned to finish by yesterday. Accordingly, it should not go beyond today. Counting this way, we finished everything in eight days, and now we will paint it.

We will paint and decorate it for three or four days. However, we are not supposed to decorate it well. If you ask why, it is because this building is in the position of a bride who is getting married while fleeing for her life during wartime.

Even if she does not adorn herself well when she gets married, if she lives well after marrying the bridegroom, that is enough. (045-326, 1971/07/11)

14. Now we are building a training center at Cheongpyeong, and things would have gone as planned if the weather had not been so bad. The rainy season has started, and it is a problem. By my calculations, the construction work should be finished today or tomorrow, but even if it is not finished tomorrow after all is said and done, Protestant ministers are scheduled to assemble there. 

Yesterday, even though the rain poured down, we had to purchase the materials and continue working. 

And it's not as if we have a phone there to order things, so someone had to go out and buy the materials in person. Having no other choice, I left by boat to get that done, in a heavy downpour.

Since the rain was pouring down so much, I looked like a person who was trying to flee by boat. It looked as if I were running away to evade machine-gun fire. There were truly many incidents like that.
(045-324, 1971/07/11) 

15. At first, we set up a tent where we were going to bring ministers to attend our workshop. But the weather was rainy and gloomy, and they would have had to go in and out of the tent frequently, which would be too bad for them. Being in such a dilemma, I drew up our plan and directed that the training center should be built by July 8, 1971.

Somehow we had to gather people who would be willing to work in this kind of situation. At this time, I also made personnel changes, sending 30 district staff members to local missions, so the position of department manager under each district leader was eliminated.

I told the people who used to work in those positions to come up here immediately. During the special Cheongpyeong tent workshops, I told those former managers whom I had called to start digging. (045-181, 1971/06/27) 

16. The people who are working at Cheongpyeong have been digging in the ground for many days. And yet, they get only four or five hours of sleep. That being the case, they are on the verge of death. 

Yesterday, when I asked people who had been injured to come forward, eight out of the 26 people stepped forward. In short, a third of these workers were injured.

So I examined their injuries and saw that they were not serious. That site is a place for paying indemnity. This time, I reorganized the districts under a new system, and I intentionally assigned the digging work to the people who had performed administrative jobs in the districts. (045-324, 1971/07/11) 

17. I am not a carpenter, but even someone who has built houses for decades sometimes needs me to coach them to get the job done right.

This indicates that there is a that sets experts apart. A person can detect instantly whether something is suitable or not if he carefully compares it to a definite standard of value. I even had to coach the worker laying down the underfloor heating system (ondol), saying, “You have to place the ondol like this.” 

On one occasion, well-diggers came and asked where they should dig the well. They had noticed that the carpenters had to tear their work down and do it again after I reprimanded them because they had made a serious mistake.

So the well-diggers were worried that if they made a mistake too, I would scold them, so they came to ask my advice beforehand. Accordingly, I told them that if there is a border area between soft land and hard land, and the borderline goes straight and then changes direction, you will hit water if you dig in that very place.

Then they asked me, “When did you learn to dig a well?” Do you think I took lessons to learn such things? What I said was based on natural law. 

As the leader of the Unification Church over the years, I have resolved problems in certain ways, and these have become formulas. I take a glance and know instantly what must be done.

I can sense what the result will look like, even when it will be entirely different from what the situation looks like now. And when I look at things, In only one place, I see the whole. Even in leveling the ground for a house, I consider the whole did. For me, it is like that with everything. (045-325, 1971/07/11) 

18. When we were completing the roof of the Cheongpyeong training center, we had made a contract three days beforehand for the delivery of tiles.

However, the contractor went somewhere, and the tiles there not arrive even on the final day of construction. This was a big problem. Ministers were arriving soon to attend a nationwide summer conference at the lakeside, and if we could not finish by the day of their arrival, everything would collapse.

Therefore, I had to rush around and was told they would not deliver the tiles if I did not have the money. So I pleaded until they gave me the slate, and I also hired a motorboat to carry it. 

I finally brought it to the training center at 11:30 p.m. By the time we had finished unloading the boat, it was already 2:30 a.m.

The motorboat had to go back, but it was past the curfew hour, so the owner of the boat spent the night there, When he woke up in the morning, he saw that during the night, not only had the tiles been laid, but also the roof had been ridged and capped.

At first, he thought that, since it was raining, it must be a temporary fix, for he could not see a single person still working. He was mistaken.

During the night, within a few hours, we put all the tiles in place and finished the roof. So he nicknamed it “the ghost house.” If you look closely at how we painted it, the name fits.

And if you stare at it, it looks as if something is lying on its stomach meditating. This is why I think that, in the future, this region's name will become world-famous. (060-149, 1972/08/17) 

The Heaven and Earth Training Center 

On March 10, 1997, True Parents held the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cheongpyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center, which was to be built on an international scale at the site. 

The old training center facilitates the education of members from all parts of the world. The new facility's dedication ceremony was held at its completion on November 7, 1999. 

19. Today, March 10, 1997, we have prepared a place at the Cheongpyeong holy ground that heaven and earth can never forget. We are conducting this groundbreaking ceremony to begin the construction of a building that can be called a palace of oneness, a new Unification family training facility, and where we will offer devotions.

It will also represent the original land where the world of one heart begins, and where heaven and earth will connect as one. This ceremony is truly historic. It will be recorded as a milestone in the history of heaven's providence. 

This Cheongpyeong holy ground is an unforgettable place for me. Thirty years ago, after I had founded the small, unknown religious group called the Unification Church, I foresaw that this training center, which is now being built, would be not only a center of idealism, where the people of the world would be able to worship together transcending religion, but it would also become the homeland of providential history.

Based on those thoughts, I made this declaration 30 years ago. When I remember that day now, I cannot help but be moved.
(282-045, 1997/03/10) 

20. This land of Cheongpyeong can become the foundation where an individual can be reborn. It is the place of cooperation between heaven, centering on the spirit, and earth, centering on the body.

It can also be a place of the heart where a family or even a nation can be born, a place where the world and heaven and earth can be born, and where the kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven can be built.

If the Unification Church can stand in the position of having overcome hardships, we will be able to make dramatic progress. 

The work of bringing all this together and educating young people from all over the world will take place here at Cheongpyeong. So will the work of gathering blessed families to attend workshops so that they can step forward to the world. This is something to be proud of.

The, people and nation can take pride in this place as representing the entire Republic of Korea. This is true not only for Korea and its people but also for Asia and the people of the world. (282-048, 1997/03/10)

21. Heavenly Father, since today will be a day of celebration when we start can work on the palace of God at Cheongpyeong holy ground, please allow this foundation to serve as the Panmunjom connecting heaven and earth.

This is the groundbreaking ceremony for building the foundation where the standard of righteousness can be established and good and evil can be distinguished in both the spiritual world and the physical world.

Through this foundation, the divided North and South will be unified, and a golden heavenly gateway will manifest itself. Therefore, all heaven and earth are celebrating this day. 

I pray that God and True Parents will become one on earth, so that this core of heart can settle, and that through this we can transcend all historical ages throughout time and eternity.

Please bless this place, so that it may become a bridge of historical tradition, connecting everything to the realm of one heart. I sincerely ask that You open wide the door of blessing, through which all people can become one in brotherly and sisterly love, and all nations can become one.

May all heaven and earth, as one family of nations, enter the age of a new kingship on earth and in heaven, under the governance of God and True Parents. 

Please permit rapid progress for the ideal of unity, by which all ancestors who have gone to the spirit world can unite with their descendants on earth and advance together toward the world of peace.

Please bless us, so that after undergoing restoration of the authority of the elder son and the authority of the parents, we can enter the age of the complete omnipotence of God, who can embrace the whole world as one great realm in the age of restored kingship.

Please look with pleasure at this place, where members from every nation are gathered, praying for and celebrating this groundbreaking ceremony I sincerely ask and beseech You to allow this to become a foundation of blessing that can be connected to all nations. (282-117, 1997/03/10) 

22. On this day, November 7, 1999, the dedication ceremony of Cheon Seong Wang Rim Palace is close at hand. I sincerely thank You that we can, hold this consecration ceremony and welcome this day when we will be able to dedicate the structure that carries the name, Palace of Victory.

Here, we pledge in spirit and flesh the manifestation of victorious sovereignty.

In this very place, we will attend God, as the blessed families of the earthly world and the blessed families of the heavenly world become one, under Heaven's watchful eye. 

Dear God, remember this day and recognize this place to be under the ownership of Heaven so that it can become a center of worship for thousands of years and thousands of generations, as well as the starting point of the realm of heart, where flesh and spirit become one through the tradition of love.

In all heaven and earth, please permit this place to become the palace of devotion, the palace of love, and the palace of worship, where we respect the relationship of lineage.

I sincerely ask and hope that, with the Parents of Heaven and Earth always at its center, You will permit this place to become the unique memorial point of origin for the vast consecration of our worldwide movement, connected by the sovereign power of eternal love. (312-304, 1999/11/07) 

23. Heavenly Father, not only Koreans but also people from many nations throughout the world are forming the realm of one people with one lineage, building a world of the sovereignty of love in freedom, centered on God.

To achieve this, they are transcending the nation and moving to the front line of the age of globalization. We have built this palace as the foundational starting point, to set a visible model before them.

Heavenly Father, please rule this place directly, and after the entire spirit world unites, and the ancestors who have received the blessing become one with their descendants on earth, let us welcome the age of the liberated kingdom of heaven in heaven and the liberated kingdom of heaven on earth. From there, we will advance to the unified heavenly and earthly world of equality and peace. 

Upholding this Will, we are now dedicating this place in front of You, Heavenly Father, as a training palace where we pledge solidarity of lineage in love through a living relationship with the hearts of all people.

Therefore, I sincerely ask and appeal that You receive this palace as a place where we can raise, liberated people who can possess the authority of princes and princesses in Your heavenly country.

May it become a base of victorious oneness representing all humankind, on which all the spirits who have gone to the heavenly world and the entire creation focus their attention. (312-307, 1999/11/07) 

The Cheon Jeong Gung Palace 

After performing the Enthronement Ceremony for the Kingship of God, True Parents held the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cheon Jeong Gung, the main temple holy ground, on July 8, 2001.

Five years later, on June 13, 2006, they performed the Cheon Jeong Palace Entrance Ceremony and Coronation for the King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and Earth.

According to the words of True Parents, this main temple's holy ground is also the royal palace, the original home in which God can dwell. Cheon Jeong Gung signifies “a palace built upon truth by two people.”

It is the “original palace” of the ideal realm of the kingdom of heaven, where God can become the King of kings and Lord of lords and rule over everything with sovereignty, and where every created being in the world can live and exist together in harmony forevermore. 

24. We are building the palace of the heavenly kingdom at Cheongpyeong. All member nations of the UN should work together to build it on earth. Other nations, such as Russia, have built wonderful palaces.

We need to build an eternal palace, constructing it with complete devotion so that its value exceeds many times even in places such as the Louvre in France. As heirs of God, we need to fulfill this duty. (474-338, 2004/11/04) 

25. The Cheon Jeong Gung Palace is God's hometown, God's fatherland, and the homeland of humanity. 

The Chinese character for cheon meaning “heaven,” signifies two people who have set aside and turned away from fighting. The character for gun rye is made up of the character for “roof' above the character ryeo, meaning “law.”

This signifies that the just laws of heaven will govern over the palace. That is why no one can come to the Cheon Jeong Gung just as they please. You cannot enter it unless you have received the blessing of the four-position foundation and three generations of your family have been liberated in their respective positions.
(539-119, 2006/09/19) 

26. Three generations of True Parents' family, representing the three ages of the Old Testament, New Testament, and Completed Testament and working in unity, have completed a speaking tour through 40 nations.

This work has made the Cheon Jeong Gung Entrance Ceremony possible. To enter Cheon Jeong Gung Palace, indemnity has to be paid so that we can be freed from all conditions.

Thus, what we are doing is in line with providential history. The Jeong Cheon, meaning “heaven,” in Cheon Jeong Gung refers to two people. Jeong is made up of ji underneath, meaning “to stay,” and il on top, meaning “one,” so Jeong, means “to be set right.”

It signifies setting all the necessary indemnity conditions and bringing everything to rest. Cheon Jeong Gung is the place we must enter after coming to a leveled place, centering on the unified horizontal foundation of heaven, the foundation of True Parents. In this way, we are beginning anew. (538-151, 2006/09/14) 

27. Heavenly Father, we completed the Enthronement Ceremony for God's Kingship, which offered the kingship to You, centering on the name of Cheon Il Guk.

This, is the place where we are about to hold the Coronation Ceremony uniting the Parent of the Cosmos, the Parents of Heaven and Earth, and the Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, representing that so that they can be enthroned together with the king of kings of goodness. 

As I speak before You, Heavenly Father, I stand before You as a free man with no burdens weighing me down, having completed all my responsibilities, so that establish Your victorious foundation.

I have prepared for You a worldwide domain in the form of a unified family within the realm of one heart, following Your ideal of Cheon Il Guk, so that You can become the Owner who can recover the heritage that Adam lost in Eden, and so that the chaotic world that resulted from Cain's murder of Abel will accept you as Lord, for the sake of finding Your nation, where there is no fighting between Cain and Abel. (529-257, 2006/06/13) 

The Restoration of a People
The period starting with the Holy Wedding of True Parents in 1960 and going through 1967 was the first seven-year course, the purpose of which was to create the foundation for the restoration of the Korean people.
