Direction for the 2400 and all
North American Blessed Central Families
Thursday 27 February 2003
Rev. Michael Jenkins
Dear Family,
True Parents arrived back in America yesterday. In this last week there
has been a continuous emphasis on the securing of the Fatherland as a
sovereign nation for God as the center of the providence. This is also
combined with Father's direction that all Blessed Families understand
the Cheon Il Guk Blessing and Coronation by studying (Father said
even memorizing) "The Principle View and Providential Background
of True Parents Holy Wedding Opening the Gate to the Cheon Il Guk
and the Coronation of the King of All Blessed Families" written by
Dr. Yang. (This document is found on the Familyfed.org website under
FFWPU News Headlines 2/4/ 2003 "Opening the Gate ....")

Many Americans are still in Korea through the 28th (tomorrow). These
brothers and sisters and their families should be especially honored and
recognized as they fulfilled Father's direction on behalf of America to
extend the Cheon Il Guk activity. This helped to expand the victory
that Father established through the 2400 from America, Japan and Korea.
We congratulate all the North American Blessed Central Families as well
as all families from Korea, Japan and the world, for your success in the
Cheon Il Guk Activity. Now a new direction for North American blessed
families is emerging as the next step after the Cheon Il Guk activity.
Concerning the American movement, the central condition required at this
time to support the Fatherland is the education of the Second Israel
(Christianity) in America. It has been clarified that the key direction
for the 2400 Blessed central families, is to support the education of
12,000 Christian clergy by Easter Sunday, April 20th.
The 2400 + families who sent a representative should all participate
in the efforts to bring clergy to the upcoming seminars. (This is upon
the foundation of Father's direction in May of 2000 that every family
in North America have at least one Christian church that they take care
of and make part of their tribe - One Family, One Church).
Focusing on Christianity is the best way at this time to support our
hometowns in Korea. Father has emphasized that as Blessed Central
Families and as sons and daughters of filial piety, we must take total
dominion of our hometown. At East Garden last week he emphasized that
when the time is right you will know it and your family can even move to
the homeland. However, how we fulfill this is our own responsibility.
(We should also discuss this with our leaders.) It may be fulfilled
by having your blessed son or daughter live there. It could also be
fulfilled by your bringing a tremendously positive influence and support
for the Fatherland from Christianity and the leadership of America.
Financial support would also be a key way to help your hometown and our
movement in the Fatherland. The key condition is that our hearts are now
and must remain deeply connected to the Fatherland and to True Parents
at all times. We will also make a region by region (Korean regions)
association and e-mail communication system so that we can stay connected
and support our American Blessed Families who felt the "immediate call" to
move to their hometown. Through this we will also be able to support the
activities of our movement in Korea by being in touch with their efforts.
Concerning the direction to support the education of the 12,000 clergy:
Father strongly emphasized at East Garden last week, that we must bring
the Christian foundation that united with Father in America into a
position to influence the unity of the Fatherland.
Without correct support from the Elder Son Nation and particularly
Christianity, the Unification of the Fatherland will be very difficult.
That's one of the key reasons that Father is in America at this time.
He is giving us very deep guidance concerning the Second Israel (America
and Christianity.) He has also come here because of the Media conference
and the Middle East IIFWP conference. These efforts to educate key
leaders in every field are all working together to establish and secure
peace in the world and expand the Cheon Il Guk. The Ambassadors for
Peace will also play a key role.
Through study of the Way of Unification, you can understand very deeply
the meaning of Father's focus on educating Christianity at this time.
Also, you can understand the reason why the key ACLC leaders, as
representatives of the Christian foundation of the Second Israel, are so
critical. They are directly fulfilling what was to occur in 1945 - 1988.
They are now proclaiming Father as the Lord of the Second Advent anointed
directly by Jesus.
From Father's words in the Way of Unification:
"Korea was established under the protection of Christian nations
of the democratic world. At that time, Rev. Moon had expected
to start in the highest position with the famous leaders who
founded a country in order to fulfill it's destiny of the new
Providence. Then, because the ministers who were representative
of the Christian Church were opposed to Rev. Moon, God's will
was blocked everywhere. All this has not been explained until
now. The content I am talking about is totally new.
Korea was a nation formed on God's side centering on the Christian
Church. Because a few ministers who represented Christianity
were opposed to Rev. Moon, a way opened that nationwide the
Christian churches could oppose Rev. Moon. Rev. Moon had prepared
everything for this for three years from 1945 to 1948. In this
period, Rev Moon worked individually. But nobody knew that he
had a historical mission. Because I was in that position the
Christian Church could oppose Rev. Moon. I knew that God prepared
a lot of spiritual groups. Even though God prepared internally,
if the Christian Church opposes with the rest of the nation, it is
in the position of Judaism and Israel which opposed Jesus Christ.
During the three years from 1945-1948, Rev. Moon was not welcomed
by the Christian Churches and nation. They were frantically
opposed to me with the national power and foundation. That was the
reason it was necessary to pay restoration by indemnity of Jesus
Christ's position. Because the people who led the Christian Church
divided with Rev. Moon, it became the motivation to separate as
South and North. North Korea established their own government
in 1948."
Way of Unification Chapter 3, Section 3
With this understanding we can see that the ministers who are standing
with Father are in a special providential role. This is why to secure
the Fatherland we must all contribute to the expansion and securing of
this foundation by educating 12,000 clergy centering on the Principle.
- Phase I
The first phase will be to educate between 200 - 300 clergy in
the Divine Principle at four major convocations. This will be a
direct expansion of the three seminars from 2002 at Ocean City, LA
and Chicago. The theme will also be expanded to focus on "Tearing
Down The Walls". One of the key walls that Father identified is
the Cross. This must be removed for the first and second Israel and
Christianity and Islam to come together. Although the cross has been
a symbol of Jesus' victory. It was a victory won at an enormous price.
It is a symbol that brings great pain to God and Jesus. It was the
secondary path that emerged due to the faithlessness of the people
chosen to receive Jesus. Through Father's proclamation at the
Washington Times 20th Anniversary we can understand that the era
of the cross has ended. It is now the era of the resurrection and
liberation of God and the substantial building of God's nation and
sovereignty on earth. Father is emphasizing now that we must focus
on the resurrection to really bring unity.
The four major convocations on the Divine Principle will occur
in March. The goal is 300 clergy to each conference. Primarily
from the already well connected ACLC clergy. Some will come
from beyond ACLC.
The Themes:
"Let this cup pass" and
"Tear Down the Walls".
Also, "Who is Rev. Moon" will remain as a key theme.
The format will be a four day three night conference beginning with
lunch on the first day and ending with lunch on the last. Meals and
accomodations will be covered. Transportation will be the responsibility
of the guests.
Basic Schedule:
March 10 - 13 New York Block
March 17 - 20 Chicago Block
March 24 - 27 LA Block
March 26 - 29 Washington DC Block
Through your regional and state headquarters you will be receiving
goals and clarification of schedules.
- Phase II - (Still being discussed)
Two One Day Seminars (with a luncheon) in all 50 states
During March and April every state will hold a one day seminar on
the DP and the meaning the new direction to tear down the walls.
- Phase III -
This will consist of revival meetings in churches in which
the clergy and their key leaders within their congregations
can come together in fellowship to understand the meaning of
the resurrection of Jesus and the end of the era of the cross.
Thousands will gather at different events across the nation.
- Phase IV
Good Friday
"Let this cup pass!!" Churches across the nation proclaim and
end to the era of thee cross and lift up Jesus and the unity of
all denominations and faiths.
Easter
Celebration of Easter with the Blessing of all
congregations (Still being discussed.)
We must expand upon the foundation of substance that Father has achieved
with the Second Israel. This will lead to the establishment of God's
sovereign nation. The 2400 are to directly connect their victory in
Korea with Christianity here. Eventually the victory of Christianity
in unity with True Parents will create a movement for revival in Korea.
Thanks America.
