To USA CARP members
Hotel Chinzanso, Tokyo, Japan
Did you have a delicious lunch? Did you also read some Hoon Dok Hae to feed your soul? Which one was more delicious? I said yesterday that Korea, Japan and the United States should become the leaders of the global providence. They should play the leading roles in the heavenly providence. America received the blessing of the mission to ensure a safe environment for the return of the Messiah to the fallen world. "I will return." This is certain.
In the Last Days, if humans fail once again, will they find salvation or not? If this planet is destroyed, humanity will cease to exist as well.
I said this yesterday, but the people involved in the two-thousand-year history of Christianity did not understand Jesus' true nature or the heavenly providence. How did communism -- the ideology that proclaims God is dead, does not exist -- arise out of the people who said they believed in God?
God chose the United States to create the environment needed for the Second Coming of the Messiah. The United States emerged without a monarch to lead them, but instead as a democratic country led by its people, its citizens. So the US should have made the correct foundation for the return of the Messiah, but instead the family endured disruption, young people faced social issues, hippies and diseases ambushed the American society. Moreover, they were unaware that communism was threatening them. Because as True Parents we understood Heaven's providence, we came to the US in 1972, because we knew that if we saved this country, we would save the world too. In 1960, the providence of True Parents appeared. Only ten years after our appearance, Korea needed us and was important, but the foundation in Korea was not strong.
The great effort expended to save America
Why did we head to America? We sacrificed over forty years there. It was to revive America and the world, but they did not welcome the returning Lord and wanted to chase us out. We invested an unimaginable amount of effort into America for the global providence. Washington D.C. is known as the world's capital, but only one newspaper was there, the Washington Post, but that newspaper was liberal. Therefore, we poured a lot of financial investment into the creation of the Washington Times. Our influence was growing too powerful, so they said we did not turn in a few thousand dollars and sent Father to prison. Does that make sense?
However, as the True Parents, we established America as the eldest son. The eldest son! Most of the CARP students here were born into American–Japanese blessed families. All of our members in the world sacrificed themselves to help revive America. Kodan, too, is group of Japanese blessed wives, mostly from American–Japanese blessed couples. We thought that saving America would help save the world; when we look individually at these Japanese wives, we see it must have been so difficult.
First, they did not have the same language and culture, so it must have been challenging to live in America, but they worked together with True Parents on the projects we led until the very end. I am so proud of those in our first generation. You [second- generation members] should know this.
During yesterday's rally, a first-generation member told me that I only complimented those in the second and third generations. This person came out as we did Eog Mansei and said, "Please praise the first generation, too!" It's not that I didn't praise those in the first generation. It is because first-generation members lived so well that those in our second generation are growing into strong, responsible people. I am grateful for this. America is a country full of blessings from heaven and God.
Blessed countries need to fulfill their responsibilities. Responsibilities! If those responsibilities go unfulfilled, they will require indemnity. Indemnity! Thankfully, I am still on earth and while I am still here, if you are able to fulfill your responsibilities, you will be spared the indemnity. The kingdom of heaven on earth is a free, peaceful world without indemnity. A world without indemnity!
Be strong and do well
We are heading toward that world and working hard to become the protagonists in that world. That's right. Can you, 360 CARP members from America, remain firm in your resolve? After Father's Seonghwa ceremony, I promised I would accomplish our Heavenly Parent's dream and desire while I am on earth. While I am still alive, you from Korea, Japan and America -- especially as the eldest son nation, should become loyal, filial sons or daughters in front of True Parents. You young people from America should go forth with conviction. Do you understand?
From now on, there will be no failures, only success. There will be only victory. What are you afraid of? There can only be miracles when you unite with the only True Mother and True Father. I did not know this, but my voice is really soothing and pleasant. I didn't know this either, but I'm told that I have a million-watt smile. Should I show this smile to only you? All of you, please grow up to be beautiful and strong for God. Heavenly Parent and True Parents' dream all humanity's the wish is to build a peaceful kingdom of heaven on earth by centering on God as one family.
Can you see that happening? Or can't you? If you can, shout, "Let's run forward on that path! Let's become CARP members at the frontline!" To see the US movement surpass the Korean and Japanese movements would be spectacular. Aren't you proud of this? Can you believe in that? Good. Thank you. I adore you.
