Assembly and Call to Action of the International Association of Youths and Students for Peace to Support the Victory of Vision 2020
Cheongshim International Youth Center
Who are you? You are the Cheon Il Guk Special Forces who must work hard to create the environment to expand Cheon Il Guk throughout the world as you attend True Parents. Brave warriors! I hope that you will go out with that confidence. Originally, God, the Creator, made all things in the universe and then he created Adam and Eve, who were to become humankind's first ancestors.
God gave Adam and Eve responsibilities. During the growth period, they should have achieved absolute oneness in heart, oneness in body and oneness in harmony with God and lived their lives without ever leaving God. However, during the growth period, Adam and Eve greedily focused on themselves.
Through that, their great mistake occurred, which we call the Fall, as a result of which they had no alternative but to leave God's side. While the omniscient and omnipotent God had no alternative but to conduct the providence according to the principles he had created, in line with his purpose for having created. Therefore, God had no alternative but to search from within fallen humankind for a person who could fulfill humankind's responsibility through the providence of the restoration by paying indemnity.
This was the four-thousand-year course of restoration through indemnity to raise the Israelites, which we know of from the Bible, to create a national foundation beginning from the individual, the tribe and race in order to send Jesus Christ, whom God called "my son." Jesus had no relationship with Satan. However, Jesus could not lead the providence on his own. The people around Jesus -- Mary, Zachariah's family, Judaic figures, and the Israelites -- did not fulfill their responsibilities. If Jesus at that time had been able to fulfill his responsibilities, he would have met the only daughter of God and they'd have become the True Parents.
At that time, the external foundation Heaven had prepared was a vast and powerful empire, the Roman Empire, of which it was said, "all roads lead to Rome." Jesus and the united Israelites would have been able to absorb Rome's problems. If that had happened, through the Roman Empire, God would have been able to achieve his dream of one human family under God.
Sending the only daughter
However, human beings made another mistake. Jesus said he would return and died on the cross. What was he to do when he returned, as he clearly stated he would? He said he would hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. After Jesus died on the cross, how did the development of Christianity begin? Christianity developed through the work of the Holy Spirit. However, Christians did not understand the nature of their own religion.
The two thousand years of Christian history constituted the providence to find Jesus' partner, the only daughter of God, when he came back for the marriage supper of the Lamb. Christians are unaware of this. Yet Heaven's providence had to continue to progress. Heaven could not send the only daughter of God through the Israelites, who had been able to fulfill their responsibilities.
Modern chosen people
Heaven had to select a people who would lead the providence with the highest standard. That people is what is today the Korean people. Then the only daughter of God, who was to be born after two thousand years, must come from a Christian background. Today, True Parents' dream and Heavenly Parent's -- the Creator's dream, as well as fallen humankind's dream, is to receive True Parents.
Human beings caused all of the problems that are occurring around the world today. It is the same in the backgrounds of religions, what is doable by humans alone has a limit. The problems of religious conflicts, ideological conflicts, and territorial conflicts today all arose from not knowing our parent. Originally, God, the Creator, was our owner and our parent. The world, and the people who do not attend God, our Creator, or attend True Parents -- who are working to realize God's dream -- will meet their end.
Becoming a unified nation
God's principles of creation are eternal. All created beings, which have not fallen, will continue to exist forever. Only fallen human beings have created many problems. What did I say earlier? Cheon Il Guk Special Forces, warriors... In the Special Forces, if True Parents give you an order, you must follow with absolute obedience. Our own hands will build the kingdom of heaven on earth, in which all people will attend God as their parent. With regard to this and in all areas, you must become the best.
In order to expand our global foundation, in 2016, I proposed the IAPP, comprising those whom the citizens of their respective nations have elected as legislators. What did we do in 2017 during the birthday and Foundation Day? Centered on the thirteen regions, what did True Parents ultimately proclaim at the US Senate in Washington DC? Legislators are people elected by the citizens of their nations.
In the existing UN, one person per nation, a politician or a diplomat, participates and they say they will solve problems. This method has not fully resolved anything. Only once since the UN was established has it played a role in helping True Parents, the returning Lord. That was during the Korean War, when sixteen nations agreed to participate in the fighting.
Since then, the UN has made effort in many ways but has not been able to find solutions. However, what will happen when all people are enlightened about the True Parents and receive the blessing through the IAPP and through legislators elected by the citizens of each nation? We can become one unified world.
In order for that to happen many things are unfolding throughout the world. Among them, the presidents of UPF, WFWP, and what is being established today... What does it say? [The International Association of Youths and Students for Peace] I appoint Emissary Robert Kittel as the international president of this organization. Emissary Kittel has been a missionary for more than forty years. He has especially worked hard in Asia and has educated many people.
Revitalize young people
He will not work only in Asia, but in all the nations around the world in which we have established IAPP, in order for us to realize with certainty national and global restoration by 2020. He will educate and guide the nations where IAPP is established, and the nations selected for the sake of national and global restoration and will guide them on the path of the blessing, so that those nations can assuredly become nations that will achieve Heaven's will. You that have come here today must not be idle in pursuing that responsibility. That is why you should be aware that you are a warrior, among the proud Cheon Il Guk Special Forces who attend True Parents!
The three people I named earlier, I hope you will unite for the sake of the global providence and fully invest yourselves for national and global restoration. Just as in olden times, during the Korean Shilla Kingdom, when to revive and protect the nation, they established Hwarang [a group of elite youths], only through the revitalization of the university movement and the CARP movement is national restoration possible.
That is why especially the central nations of the providence, Korea, Japan, and the United States must further develop CARP and raise many members of the Special Forces who will participate in national and global restoration. If the six thousand years of the providence of restoration through indemnity was like a dark winter, the time now when we are working for national and global restoration is the springtime of the providence.
I pray that you and those in charge of you can sow many healthy seeds, during this spring, so God can harvest people of talent and ability at the time he hoped for.
