On July 21, Hyung-jin nim spoke at a ceremony to officially place, in Cheon Bok Gung, the Cheon Bok Hahm containing the texts True Parents have designated as the heavenly texts and teaching materials. The following is from his concluding remarks on that day.
In the Old Testament Age, God bestowed on Moses the Ark of the Covenant containing the Ten Commandments in response to the repeated disbelief of the people, thus symbolizing God's salvation of humankind for eternity. In the New Testament Age, God strove to complete His providence of salvation through Jesus, who had come as the symbol of the word.
In the era of Cheon Il Guk, it is True Parents, who have come as the third Adam, the Lord at his second coming, the king of kings, and the substantial Word, who work for the salvation and perfection of human beings. The Cheon Bok Hahm contains the texts and teaching materials that guide all people on the path to perfection, which is the path of ridding themselves of fallen nature and coming to take on the fundamental attributes of God.
The temple of the church and the homes of the blessed families where the Cheon Bok Hahms will be placed today will become bases for Cheon Il Guk. They symbolize God coming to dwell there. Blessed families and church members will come to experience that the heavenly fortune of God and the Holy Spirit will be with them where they have gathered together to offer devotions to God and True Parents and to read and put into practice the content of the eight texts and teaching materials.
More than anything else, the significance of the inheritance of the Word lies in bringing to life those who have died because of the Fall. Those who study the Word carefully and follow a path of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience will undergo the miraculous experience of having their fallen nature removed, and an incredible wave of salvation and witnessing will flow out to all human beings lost to God.
In particular, the leaders from around the world who attended the 120 days [workshop], and were grafted to the eight texts and teaching materials through their early morning devotions, will pass them on to missions and churches in all corners of the world through the grace of True Parents. It will thus be possible to forever proclaim the will of God and True Parents to save Heaven's nation, all of the world.
In the Cheon Bok Hahm will be placed a certificate of inheritance of the Word bearing True Parents' seal, as well as the eight texts and teaching materials. Just as God gave life to all people by breathing the breath of life into their nostrils when He first created the world through His Word, the Word is restored through victory over Satan through the seven deaths and resurrections; and the completion of the eight stages will blow the breath of life into all people who died through the Fall. Thus the Word will be substantiated.
We hope everyone will inherit the Cheon Bok Hahm, which portends such amazing experiences and blessings.
