Despite the current difficult situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic, I believe that you world leaders yearning for peace and unification on the Korean Peninsula will find your heartfelt hope fulfilled. Thank you.
Today, the world as a whole is facing many difficulties. Though there are well over two hundred nations on this planet, they all pursue a common hope: a united world of peace. And yet, despite this hope, human history has been riddled with increasing wars and conflicts.
At the outset, God, the Creator and Owner of the universe created all things in the world as well as the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, who were to become humankind’s ancestors, and waited for them to pass through their time of growth to perfect themselves.
They failed to do this, however, and instead, humanity was cut off from God, the Creator, as we see today. Nonetheless, our omniscient and omnipotent Creator has been the same from beginning to end.
He must usher in the day of victory at all costs. To that end, there first must be the true parents who can triumph among all humankind and become the human ancestors, for only then can the one family of humanity live in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth as desired by the Creator. For six thousand years, God has been the Parent searching for His lost children.
That is why He permitted religions to sprout in each region, to best lead the local people and teach them to make their way toward goodness. In the midst of it all, Heaven had to select His chosen people and carry out His providence of salvation to restore through indemnity the mistake made by the first human beings destined to become human ancestors.
His has been a history of indescribable and laborious patience and perseverance. After toiling for four thousand years, He was finally able to bring about the birth of His only-begotten Son whom He could claim as His own.
However, according to the principle of creation, the only-begotten Son alone is not enough. That is why not only the family that gave birth to the only-begotten Son, but also the entire people of Israel had to create an environment where he could uphold Heaven’s providence. This, however, did not come to pass.

Instead, Jesus died on the cross and promised to come again and hold the Feast of the Lamb. Christianity was continued through his disciples and has continued to spread for two thousand years.
And yet, I would like to ask you this: is today’s environment of Christianity ready to receive the Messiah who promised to come again? The environment in which this fallen humanity can be embraced by Heaven is created through the birth of True Parents.
In other words, fallen humanity can become the children of God the Creator, our Heavenly Parent, only when they are reborn and resurrected through True Parents. The central figures who can unravel the tangled threads of wrongful history were born on the Korean Peninsula after six thousand years.
True Parents came to be in 1960. The providence by which True Parents can give rebirth and resurrection to humanity as Heavenly Parent’s children is the true family movement and the Marriage Blessing.

Every one of the fallen humanity, regardless of whom they may be, can become a child of Heavenly Parent through True Parents. They all must become His children. The dream of God the Creator is to live together with True Parents and His children in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. The first step toward that dream was taken in 1960.
Simply put, the owner of the universe and this planet is God the Creator, our Heavenly Parent.
Though there are many nations and strong powers in the world, they can attain their rights as such only when they stand in the position of attending Heavenly Parent. They do not have ownership. Countries can be established only when Heaven says, “Yes since you have done your best to make your part of the world beautiful, you can govern over this nation.”
In other words, all religions in the world have reached their last stop. Everyone must get off at the last stop. All that is left is for them to get off and become one with True Parents to attend our Heavenly Parent, the Owner of the universe.
The same is also true for the Korean people. What made the Korean people, who share the same culture, lineage, and traditions, divide into North and South? Korea is a thinly divided nation on this globe.
Only when Korea is unified can there be peace in Eastern Europe and Northeast Asia. Do you understand? You should know that we, the people living in the world today, need to become children attending Heavenly Parent through True Parents, for we are connected to Him by heavenly law.
I have already said that a world of true peace, freedom, equality, unity, and happiness, with humanity living in it as one family centering on the Heavenly Parent, can only be realized when the Korean people and all other nations attend Heaven as their Parent.
In this regard, I wish to make a request of the citizens of South and North Korea as the True Parents. I hope for South and North Korea to unite as one with me and become one brother and achieve true unification on the Korean Peninsula.
Only then can all human beings in the world become the sons and daughters of our Heavenly Parent and achieve world peace and unity in this age and generation.
Until now, humanity was ignorant of the fact that all of us and all nations are connected to Heaven by heavenly law, and as a result, this beautiful Earth has become dilapidated. And it is becoming ever worse, with climate change, rise in sea level, and especially natural disasters.
Last year, there were horrendous wildfires, tornadoes, and heavy rain in the North American continent alone, which caused much loss of both life and property. What about China? And Asia? Every continent suffered incalculable damage to life and property.
Moreover, many lives have been lost during the past two years due to the coronavirus pandemic. And the truth is that we have no idea what other changes will take place and cause even more problems. All of that was brought about by the failure of humankind.
Now, we stand in the position of children who should attend Heavenly Parent. As children who have been unfilial until now, we must make our Parent’s dream come true on earth.
Should we then just sit back and watch?
All of us humanity in the world need to unite as one and fulfill our responsibility, which is to return this world to its original state. That is what we, the people living in this world today, are required to do.
We have heard many good words from people who are attending today’s event from all parts of the world.
Everyone is praying for our hopes to come true, with the firm belief that they will. Yes, they will come true. The question is whether we can qualify ourselves as children attending Heaven as our Parents.
I am passing on our dreams to our future generations, our grandchildren, who will take charge of this Earth and its inhabitants in the future.
If we had united and made this Earth into the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth where we live attending our Heavenly Parent, what would our lives on Earth have been like?
After creating all things in the world, our Creator lastly created the human ancestors and told them to have dominion over everything. The unfallen world continues to maintain itself by the circuital law of the principle of creation. The problem is that much of the world has been destroyed by humankind.
My favorite flower is the daffodil, which is the first to blossom from frozen soil when spring comes. It makes me think about how I can comfort the heart of our Heavenly Parent, who is looking upon human history,y and how it has become wretched and agonizing through the fall.
The daffodil is the first to break through the frozen soil and tell the world that spring has come. Looking at it, I am reminded of how I am still weak and how much I have been restricted by my environment in carrying out my responsibilities as a True Parent during the past sixty years.
And yet, I did not stop, and as a result, there are many allies like you on my side today. Thank you. Let us all endeavor to become the true children of our Heavenly Parent through True Parents, who can work together as filial sons and daughters to make His dreams and wishes come true on earth. Thank you.
