Bexco, Busan, Korea, May 27, 2018
Esteemed Dignitaries, Ambassadors for Peace, and leaders from all fields! In particular, young people who will lead the future and blessed families of the Family Federation!
We gather today for the hope of a unified Heavenly Korea, which we have longed for, where North and South can become one. Looking at this nation and world, we can see that human effort and intelligence cannot solve today’s challenges. Great efforts have been made thinking about how to achieve a peaceful world. But the results were always the same.
That being the case, we have to organize a movement that properly attends God, the Creator and Owner of the universe. The Bible says that originally, when God made all things, He created them according to His image Minerals are divided into plus and minus, plants into stamen and pistil, animals as male and female, and humans were created as man and woman to be the ancestors of humanity. They were Adam and Eve, of whom the Bible mentions.
And God gave humans a responsibility to fulfill during their growth period. In other words, humans should have grown in absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience to God. However, halfway through, they became ambitious. 'I can also become like God too!' Thus, they gave rise to the current fallen humanity. God’s principle of the creation cannot change. God has been longing for the day where the good ancestors of humanity could and understand the principle and his will and fulfill their responsibility. God's providence has been the work of salvation.
The indemnity period for a good nation and people to rise in the fallen world and establish a nation was so long and arduous, but finally, after 4000 years, God sent the Messiah, Jesus Christ, whom He had promised. But humans did not know heaven’s providence. They did not know why Jesus Christ had come. Both Mary, who gave birth to him, as well as Judaism and the Israelites failed to fulfill their duty to him. The birth of the only begotten son in 4,000 years is not the end for the son. The only begotten son was to meet the begotten daughter, create a true family, and come into the position of True Parents to save humanity.
Through history, we know the indemnity that the Israelites had to endure for not creating a foundation for the Messiah. Before being crucified, Jesus announced that he would return. Christianity began with the work of the Holy Spirit and the apostles who were waiting for Jesus to return. The early days were so hard. Many were persecuted and martyred. Even so, they kept their hearts waiting for the return of the Messiah and developed the Christian culture.
Being that way, what else should modern Christianity prepare for while waiting for the Messiah? God does not reuse a people or person who does not fulfill their responsibility. God has to choose and prepare a people that can give birth to the only begotten daughter and, finally complete the Providence. That is the Korean people of Asia.
I was born in 1943. The only begotten daughter must be born through a Christian foundation. Korea became independent in the year 1945. Following the liberation, the country was divided into north and south, communism and democracy. In those days, all the intellectuals and the Christians came to the south, but the people of spiritualist groups that awaited for the return of the Messiah could not make a decision. At that time, God made me come to the south. This is how God guided me, and after 2 years of coming to the South, the Korean War broke out.
By then, the North had already prepared and organized everything, but the South had neither the structure, nor the base to confront the North. Under those circumstances, and in the midst of providence, as the only begotten daughter, God had to give me time so that I could fulfill my responsibility. And thanks to the miraculously 16 countries that mobilized with the UN forces, South Korea now exists. Regarding that, what you should understand is that the Korean people were specially chosen and prepared as the chosen people. That being the case, these people have a responsibility to fulfill. What is that responsibility?
Today this people should feel gratitude for the deep love of God that helps them overcome crises every time they are in difficulties. Knowing the providence, although I was a girl, I decided, and in 1960, the True Parents were born. But, just as in Jesus' time, Christianity did not become the appropriate environment. While we were in the position of True Parents, we had to start from the bottom until today. This year was the 58th anniversary of the Holy Wedding. It's been more than half a century.
Knowing God's longing, we have sought a world of peace. Fallen humanity cannot go directly before God. For that reason, a Savior is needed. True Parents are the saviors. Through the Blessing, which gives rebirth to all the children of the fallen world, True Parents make them reborn as blessed families. From this point of view, all of you gathered here, have lived different lives in many aspects; But, the only thing that can give them hope for the future is that they find True Parents and be reborn as true children.
Today I say to many blessed families that they should become tribal messiahs. The Blessing must not end up being something that belongs only to you. You have a responsibility over three "generations": the responsibility of guiding your ancestors and your descendants, protagonists of the future. That is the responsibility of the blessed families that will make God able to embrace this fallen world. Only when blessed families fulfill their mission as tribal messiahs and advance to the position of national and world messiahs can a peaceful world which humanity has longed for and Heavenly Parent’s ‘One Family’ be achieved,. To realize this, True Parents had to overcome many sacrifices and difficulties, and plead with God to not abandon Christianity and its foundation despite knowing the pain felt by Heavenly Parent that they could not fulfill their responsibility.
Well this country also had difficulties, and the US which was prepared by God for world providence, was getting sick. In the 1970s, we went to the US, to make them aware of their illness. And if we could educate them when they were already on the threshold of communism, so that they would protect the democratic world, it was because we were the True Parents making efforts that cost blood. Thus, at that time, we trained young Americans and sent them as missionaries to the whole world. For 40 years, they did not change their motivation and today they obtain amazing results in Africa and Asia. Now, I tell them. The future of this people is not determined by the political force of an individual. There will only be hope in the future when the original owner, God, the Creator, is served. Even if it’s now, I hope you will remember that only when this nation attends to Heavenly Parent and moves towards the world, it will fulfill its responsibility to the world as a blessed nation.
100 years ago, the great Indian poet, Tagore, wrote a poem for Korea: "The day you turn your lamp on again, you will be the bright light of the East". What does light symbolize? It symbolizes the truth. It is not human truth. Genuine truth can only come from True Parents centered on God. That is why many tribal messiahs of Asia, centered in Korea and Japan, are opening a new era for the Pacific Rim civilization. They are raising the banner of the revolution of the Hyojeong culture of heart, and with the true love of living for the sake of others, our 2nd generation, our future leaders, are reaping amazing results all over the world.
When I went to the USA in the 70s, I saw a show about the Wild West. The name of the series was ‘Bonanza’. It began with a map that consumed by fire and the map of the new far west arose. Today, in this place, especially where the Unified Kingdom of Shilla was born, do you not dare to become the spark and redraw the map of the immense homeland of God, the homeland of faith, the map of a Unified Heavenly Korea with the north? A United Heavenly Korea. Our center is Heavenly Parent and True Parents.
I want to end my speech here by wishing you to be Ambassadors for Peace, blessed families, and leaders who attend the center, just as the sunflower aligns itself to the sun, wherever you are and in all circumstances. Thank you very much.
