After the Fall of the first ancestors, Adam and Eve, God established numerous central figures to carry out the work of the providence of restoration.
On the foundation thus laid down, He ultimately sent His only-begotten son, Jesus, to the earth as the Messiah. However, due to the disbelief of the people of Israel and Judaism, Jesus died on the cross, and his short life was brought to an end before he could fulfill his mission.
Once again, God sent True Parents as the Lord of the Second Advent and the savior of humanity through the Korean people. God sent True Father, His only-begotten son, to lay the foundation as the Messiah and Lord of the Second Advent, and at the same time, He established True Mother, His only-begotten daughter, and prepared her as the Bride of Heaven.
On April 11, 1960, with their Holy Wedding finally completing the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, they appeared as the True Parents and opened the era of the True Parents.
True Mother's birth and faith
True Mother was born on the 6th day of the 1st lunar month in 1943, at the home of her maternal grandparents, which was located at number 26, Shineui village in Anju county, South Pyeongan Province.
She was the only daughter of her father, Han Seung-oon (Dae Bu Nim), and her mother, Hong Soon-ae (Dae Mo Nim). Dae Bu Nim was a teacher at the Takyeong Public Elementary School and Manseong Public Elementary School, private schools in North Korea. He also attended the New Jesus Church of Rev.
Lee Yong-do, where he was a church elder during its early years. Dae Mo Nim was born into a devout Christian family in Jeongju, North Pyeongan Province, and she attended a Presbyterian church until the age of 19.
After that, she went on a witnessing tour with the team of missionary Hwang Guk-ju, and for many years after 1933 she was active in churches that were preparing to attend the Lord at his Second Advent, spending time in Rev. Lee Yong-do's New Jesus Church, Kim Seong-do's Holy Lord Church, and Heo Ho-bin's Inside the Womb Church.
In 1948, the three generations of mothers and daughters – Grandmother Jo Won-mo, Hong Soon-ae, and True Mother – braved crossing the line of fire to flee to South Korea to escape from the oppression of the communist authorities in the North.
After that, due to the Korean War, True Mother spent her schooldays as a refugee in Daegu, Jeju Island, and Chuncheon. In December 1955, Dae Mo Nim met True Father at the headquarters church in Cheongpa-dong and joined the Unification Church.
True Mother met True Father for the first time at the young age of 13 in March 1956, when Dae Mo Nim brought her to the former headquarters church right after she graduated from Bongeui Elementary School in Chuncheon.
True Mother then attended Seongjeong Girls' Middle School in Seoul and, after graduating, enrolled in St. Joseph's Nursing School in April 1959.
True Mother as seen from five different perspectives
Since God's providence of salvation is the work of sending the third Adam, the Lord of the Second Advent, and the third Eve, the Bride of Heaven, it is significant to examine True Father's and True Mother's births and lives of preparation for the providence.
In particular, we need to know clearly about True Mother, who, together with True Father, has led the era of True Parents. Through examining True Father's words, we can examine the status of True Mother from the following five perspectives: The first is that True Mother is the third Eve, the object partner of the third Adam.
Due to the Fall of Adam and Eve, God sent His only-begotten son, Jesus, to the Jewish people as the Messiah entrusted with the mission of the second Adam.
However, the Jewish people disbelieved him, thus frustrating Jesus' plans to find the second Eve, establish her as his Bride, participate with her in a holy wedding, become true husband and wife, and true parents centered on God, and complete the providential work of saving humankind.
Therefore, to fulfill the mission that Jesus left incomplete, God sent True Father as the Messiah of the Second Advent, the third Adam, and True Mother as the third Eve.
The second is that True Mother is the Holy Spirit in substantial form. She is the object partner of the Returning Lord. Though Jesus came to earth as God's substantial object partner, he died on the cross because of the disbelief of the Israelites, after which he was resurrected, receiving the Holy Spirit as his spiritual Bride.
True Father said that we receive fire when the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts and becomes one with the power of our yearning for Jesus, the Bridegroom.
Through the words of Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit, Christianity has spread throughout the world.
At the time of the Second Advent, the Holy Spirit appears in substantial form. This is none other than the True Mother. The third is that the True Mother is the only-begotten daughter, the object partner of the only-begotten son.
God sent His only-begotten son, Jesus, to the Jewish people as the Messiah to bring salvation to fallen humanity. Jesus, the only-begotten son who received the first love of Heaven and came to this earth, should have received his Bride, the only-begotten daughter, and together they should have become the True Parents under God's blessing and formed a true family.
Jesus died on the cross; however, the position of the only-begotten daughter was left vacant. The true Mother came to this earth as the only-begotten daughter who was found and established by God through the providence of restoration through indemnity, which was carried out for a long time after Jesus' mission could not be completed.
True Mother, the only-begotten daughter, was born on the foundation of three generations of faith in the Second Advent among the Korean people who were prepared in advance. The fourth perspective is that a True Mother is a true parent.
She carries out the work of giving rebirth to humanity as their true parent, to save them both spiritually and physically.
The Holy Wedding by which the Messiah of the Second Advent received his Bride, the Holy Spirit in substantial form, and the two of them became true husband and wife, is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb recorded in Chapter 19 of the Book of Revelation.
This event opened the way to the realization of God's ideal of creation, for which He had created heaven and earth in the first place, and ushered in the historic day on which Adam and Eve, at the standard of the original ideal of creation, could appear as the True Parents.
The Holy Wedding also opened the gates to the Blessing, through which all people can finally receive the grace of rebirth and thus rid themselves of original sin. True Parents have now called upon those who have received the Blessing to serve as tribal messiahs and have led them on the path toward the salvation of all people.
The fifth is that True Mother comes from a different root. "True Parents come to earth having the root of God's true love, true life, and true lineage. Their mission is to cut down to their stumps the trees of fallen people, which were born from the root of false love, and graft the cuttings of true love onto them" (Chambumo Gyeong 1.1.1:13).
The True Mother was born from a root fundamentally different from that of fallen humankind. She comes to earth without original sin, bringing true love, true life, and true lineage.
In accomplishing her mission, True Mother has gone through the course of restoring the positions of daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and queen in front of True Father, and she also has fulfilled her mission as the True Mother of humanity.
The True Parents achieved ultimate oneness and became God's embodiments with the status and authority of the king of kings and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, and proclaimed that the providence of restoration had been perfected, complete, and concluded.
