Rev. Hyung Jin Moon's introduction of True Parents at the World Assembly to Proclaim the Substantial Word of God and the Era of the Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, held at the Manhattan Center in New York City on July 24, 2010 (6.13 by the Heavenly Calendar)
Beloved elders, leaders and brothers and sisters!
I am deeply grateful to be given the great honor of introducing the True Parents on the occasion of the "Convention to Proclaim the Substantiated Word on the Basis of the Establishment of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind," which is being bestowed upon all humanity at this place in the presence of God and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and all of the spirit world mobilized on this 13th day of the 6th month by the Heavenly Calendar.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Our eternal True Parents' life course has been one of the Messiah, the True Parents, and King of Kings. God sent the True Parent as His True Son and thus he has walked this path as the Messiah, True Parent and King of Kings for the purpose of bringing salvation to humanity and to liberate God.
Alone, True Father presided over the providence during the "Messiah's course," which lasted from his birth in 1920 to the Holy Wedding in 1960. From the Holy Wedding in 1960 to the year 2000, True Father and True Mother walked this path together, establishing the True Family substantially, according was God's will, and paving the way to save humankind and the world. Since the Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God in 2001, God has manifested Himself through True Parents and governed both the earth and the spirit world as the King of Kings of all humankind.
In this way, True Parents' life course has been one of inheriting the true love of God, perfecting that true love and bequeathing it to humankind. True Parents' true love has resulted in the grace of the seven deaths and resurrections and completion of the eight stages. Consequently, the following blessings have been bestowed upon humankind:
First, True Parents discovered the truth and proclaimed it to us. God has been with True Parents since their birth and has revealed the truth in a way that human beings can understand. The core of this truth that was bequeathed to us can be found in the statements: "God and humankind are in a parent-child relationship," and "True love passes through the shortest distance." On February 7, 2010, True Parents offered the eight great textbooks and teaching materials to Heaven and bequeathed them to humankind.
Second, True Father perfected the True Spouse. True Father, who came as the Messiah, could only give birth to children of his direct lineage, blessed children, after becoming the True Parent through the Holy Wedding. After the Holy Wedding in 1960, True Mother walked the path to become one with True Father through a life of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience to him.
God is the source and root of all existence. He is the spiritual parent, the incorporeal parent, and vertical parent; and as such, He is the Cosmic Parent. True Parents are the substantial manifestation of the original essence. As the physical parents, corporeal parents, and horizontal parents, they are the Parents of Heaven and Earth. God and True Parents have become the Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind as the original being that unites the spiritual and physical parents, incorporeal and corporeal parents, and vertical and horizontal parents.
Third, True Parents have liberated and brought complete freedom to God. Through the Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God, they have liberated God and completely released Him from confinement in the prison Satan created through the Fall of the first ancestors. Through the Coronation of the Authority of the Liberation of God, the King of Kings, God is now able to directly govern the heavens and the earth as the King of Kings.
Fourth, True Parents have guided people on earth and in the spirit world onto the path to completion. The Coronation, Golden Anniversary and Seunghwa Festival on the Basis of the Establishment of the Abel UN was held, bestowing the grace of blessing through three stages: The coronation held on the basis of the establishment of the Abel UN was a blessing for rebirth allowing people to be reborn individually; the Golden Anniversary was a blessing for resurrection allowing people to be reborn on the family level; and the Seunghwa festival is a blessing for eternal life, allowing people to be reborn on the world level. This is an expression of True Parents' infinite love, saving all people in both the spirit world and on the earth and taking them to heaven.
The "Convention to Proclaim the Substantiated Word on the Basis of the Establishment of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind" serves to offer and proclaim the era of [God's] full transcendence, full immanence, full authority and omnipotence upon the standard of perfection, completion and conclusion. More than anything else, through this convention, we must come to understand True Parents' value.
We must truly come to realize what kind of people True Parents are. We must understand that they have come to fulfill an extraordinary mission.
We must view the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind who are the Lord and Savior at the Second Advent, not through our physical eyes but through our spiritual eyes.
Let us now all rise from our seats. Please join me in giving a warm round of applause to offer glory to and welcome our beloved True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.
