Father's Message at Hoon Dok Hae
Father and Mother at East Garden
50th Foundation Day Celebration (May 1, 2003)
True Parents 43rd Wedding Anniversary and
Hudson River Fishing Tournament
North American Family Federation Leadership Conference
Friday 2 May 2003
East Garden
(Because of the Tournament the May 1st
celebration was celebrated on May 2)
(Notes By Rev. Michael Jenkins, Translation by Rev. John Hong)
NOTE: True Parents entered the main meeting room of East Garden at 5 am.
The room was set for 70 leaders for breakfast together with True Parents,
Another 50 gathered around and sat at the back of the room. Father and
Mother entered to the immense joy of all our leaders. Many cried. Father
has returned. How fortunate we are. How much we missed Father and Mother.
This was the first public Hoon Dok Hae that True Parents conducted since
March 16th. Mother looks beautiful and happy. It is a new springtime.
Father mentioned two days ago that this period of March 16th to April 30th
was a period of great indemnity for True Parents to protect the world and
secure the Cheon Il Guk. He said that April 28, 29 and 30th would be the
final three days of this indemnity period and that May 1st Foundation Day
would be a new spring for our movement and humanity. Yesterday, on May 1st
we could bring victory and joy to our True Parents. We had to catch over a
40 inch fish for the tournament to be successful. Led by Dr. Yang, Bishop
Ki Hun Kim, Rev. Dong Woo Kim and I brought a 42 and 41 inch striped bass to
offer to True Parents as the first and second place catch of the tournament.
Father saw the fish and went WAHHH! Then he told us to have the fish mounted
for America. May 1st is a new beginning of heavenly fortune for America.
Father looks great. He is at full power. True Parents are leading us
directly into the springtime of heaven and earth. How grateful we are to God
that True Parents can be with us. Let us offer ourselves so that everyday
of Father and Mother's life can be a day of liberation and joy and we build
the Kingdom of God on Earth. Long Live True Parents! Long Live the Parents
of Heaven and Earth!
Father's Words: Now is a transition time. You must be serious to change
your life to adjust to the new age of Cheon Il Guk. Your mind and attitude
must become one with the new providence. You must know the reality of the
physical world and spiritual world. You should know this idea with confidence.
This speech on May 1st Foundation Day is the content for today. That is the
life of the Unification members. That way we can embrace America and save
the world. (Then Mrs. Won Ju McDevitt read the speech Father gave in 1954.)
How can you unite with the contents of this speech? The name of Unification
Church is Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity.
Father must put in the word Christianity, this is the main spiritual law. We
must unify world Christianity. If Father took Christianity out of our name,
Christians wouldn't persecute so severely. But because Father knew the
historical dispensation that the Unification Church must unify Christianity,
he did this. Only true love and truth can unify people.
That's spiritual law in the subjective position. You can then
understand. Then Father must work to unify Christianity. How do you
unify Christianity? With the Holy Spirit, with true love. Also, the way of
unification to unify the whole world, you all need to the support of the
spirit world. Then the Family Church remains eternally.
When Father was 34 years old he explained the ideas in this speech.
Not one iota has changed. Father's thought and work today is exactly the
same as 50 years ago. To work with the Korean government and we must unify
Christianity. The Unification Church is in the parent's position and the
Christian churches are in the children's position. Father never changed.
He is the same today. History is not creation history, history is recreation
history. You must recognize God. That is why you saw the Coronation of
True Parents and the Holy Blessing of True Parents on the Cheon Il Guk
level. Through this all was restored back to the creation principle.
All history was restored through this long suffering course.
You should follow the course of our True Parents. Then you can inherit
everything from God and the spirit world. You must accomplish and follow
these ideas. Then you can understand how we can develop these ideas. You
have a certain responsibility. You must understand True Parents' revelation
of the unknown history of the world. You must control yourself. No drinking
or Satanic life. You must be generals to lead thousands of other leaders.
This is the era as owners of Cheon Il Guk. Father knew all these ideas.
Because God couldn't make the True Family, God's heart was always
suffering. God could not even talk about the family because God lost everything
at the fall. God has had resentment until today. What many churches are
teaching and talking about today is not important. Many things they are
doing are only for themselves and have no identity or connection to God's
providence. The role of the church must first be to comfort and liberate
God's heart. The people should come to a place in their spiritual lives that
they will cut off anything that doesn't connect to God. What does this mean
for Christianity? We must recognize that this world's situation is the result
of the fall and fallen humankind. Christianity's role is to restore man back
to God and prepare as the bride to meet the Lord. The church should be a
bride that can liberate the resentment of God. True Parents have come with
the secret of liberation and the key to comfort God's heart. The Blessing
and restoration of the ideal family is that key, the full restoration of
Adam and Eve through each blessed family. Such content is now revealed.
Father has the whole content to restore the world.
Now Father inaugurated the Family Party, Kajong Dong (House of Family).
This also liberates God's heart. Yesterday, was the 50th Foundation Day
of Unification Church. If you understand these ideas you can bring the
Kingdom of God on Earth. Then you can establish the original hometown.
The Family Party is the next element that must be established to connect
God to the nation in Cheon Il Guk. This is a headwing party. We must educate
the current political leaders concerning God's will. As owners of Cheon Il
Guk you blessed couples must work on the front line just as True Parents
do. If you do not have the same heart as working on the front line with True
Parents, when you go to spirit world you will be lonely. If you follow True
Parents' direction you will be able to set up the pure tradition in your
family. You must do it this way. God and True Parents have been so serious
all of True Parents' life. It doesn't matter what obstacles you encounter.
You must overcome them. You must go the straight way to expand Cheon Il Guk.
You must go correctly according to True Parents' way: One Family, One Tribe,
One Nation and One World. This is the core of our way. Please understand
what Father was sharing in 1954.
Because of the failure of Israel to accept Jesus, the cross came about.
Now you are taking down the cross. The cross was an historical mistake and
a failure on Israel's part. The suffering of Israel is connected with this.
Christianity and the Unification Church must unite together to restore
this. With this unity the first Israel can be restored and the Christian,
Muslim and Jewish people can become one. If this fails, it is so serious
before heaven. You must influence all people to go this way. In the position
of the Mother, you must go this way. You sacrifice yourself ten times, one
hundred times, you can do better. What is the owner and recreation of God's
history? It is through the owners of Cheon Il Guk. You are the princes and
princesses of Cheon Il Guk.
Winter time has ended. It is spring, time to change your clothes. It's
time to change your Christian clothes for Cheon Il Guk clothes or the clothes
of the Kingdom. That way Father connects with God and with You.
God creates all dual systems. God is the subjective position of all dual
characteristics. The family and marriage comes from this. You are the owners
of Cheon Il Guk. You should be owner of the family. You must become the
subject of marriage, you must bless your parents and give them a certificate
of marriage. You should really appreciate True Parents.
You must sacrifice and bring all humanity back to God. Because we lost
everything, there is only one person in the whole world that brought this
family back. The only way to bring it back was to create the Blessed Family.
Only True Parents could do this.
We must come together and repent before God. What does the Family Party
mean? God connects and goes back to the original position. Theologians
and religious leaders do not know these contents, therefore they cannot
lead humanity. What is Cheon Il Guk? It means that two persons become
one. First Adam and Eve should have become one and formed Cheon Il Guk.
(Mrs. Won Ju McDevitt then read for Hoon Dok Hae) March 10, 2003
(Little Angels School) Speech of the Founding of the Family Party.
How is the relationship of heaven and earth? Somebody has nothing. We have
the truth. If you know clearly what is God and what is Satan, then your life
will become much better. Then you can consider this idea seriously. Nothing
connects truly to peace without centering on God.
You must become the True Olive Tree of God and build the True Family of
God. Father never considered whether God would protect him or not. He only
concerned himself with how to attend God. God is our True Parent. We must
go this way. From now such a time has come. We can embrace heavenly Father.
Centering on the Holy Wedding of True Parents on the Third stage (Cheon Il
Guk Blessing) all blessed couples have received the third level blessing and
now can receive their inheritance and authority. This is the way we must
go. If you live the same lifestyle as True Parents then you will receive
your inheritance. Therefore you must change yourself to completely embrace
the heavenly standard and lifestyle. You must set up a standard that your
ancestors and children can follow centering on True Parents' tradition.
Who could coronate God? God could not do this for himself. Because Adam
and Eve were lost God could not be king of humanity. There were no heavenly
subjects fulfilling the ideal of creation. Only God's son could do it.
Therefore without True Parents, God could not be crowned. All Satanic side
children must be brought back to God, centering on God. Father is talking about
the savior. If Israel had accepted Jesus, then we would not need Christianity,
Islam and all religions. Everything would have developed based on Jesus'
family. Jesus would have gone to Rome. Unification of the world would have
happened here. Catholic and protestant were not necessary. So many millions
suffered because of the failure to receive Jesus. Now Christianity accepted
Jesus but it only has a spiritual foundation. Only 2.8 per cent of the
Jewish people in Israel accept Jesus. This must be rectified. That's why
Christianity must go to Israel and help the first Israel centering on the
unity with the Unification Church.
Father came to America because of Christianity. You must educate young
people and bring about the interracial blessing. All these ideas will be
developed. Rev. Moon came down and now has received the marriage supper of
the lamb and has been blessed in holy matrimony on the Cheon Il Guk level.
All marriages before blessing are not complete without the blessing given
by blessed couples. Now the time has come for the Unification church to be
recognized throughout the world. All your tribe can come back to God's side.
Now is the time to repent and come back to God's side. All must repent.
In the ideal of heaven there are no religions, only living as the restored
sons and daughters of God. Father restored the land and ocean and all the
things of creation. Then he restored the Kingdom of God on earth. We can offer
and develop. From the fall of Adam, we lost everything. When Father came to
America, Father came and repented and then worked to bring America back to God.
Adam and Eve fell at the age of 16. We must protect our young people from
falling. Ambassadors for Peace can understand these ideas. There should be
no drinking and smoking. Set the standard and then show your children the
way. That way you must follow the track of True Parents and the Messiah. That
way we can settle the Kingdom of Heaven.
