2018 Latin America Summit, Founders' Keynote Address
Renaissance Hotel in São Paulo, Brazil
Former Uruguayan president Sanguinetti, former Paraguayan president Franco, other distinguished guests from the political and religious fields throughout Latin America and Family Federation members, it is my great pleasure to meet you today.
I came here a few days ago and I strongly felt that Heaven loves this continent. God has blessed this continent, South America, as well as North America. In the seventeenth century, King James of Great Britain had the Bible translated from Hebrew and Greek into English, and ordinary believers, being able to access God's word by themselves, departed to find religious freedom in a new place, North America. Latin America, on the other hand, is a continent with a Catholic background and has had people that pursued material things. In that case, if North America represents the heart, Latin America is equivalent to the body. In order to solve all the problems in the world, the mind and the body must unite as one. If the mind and body follow their own paths, we cannot achieve eternal freedom.
Was Jesus welcomed?
Jesus Christ was not born to be crucified. He came to realize God's dream and humanity's wish for all human beings to become sons or daughters of God. He came to guide and lead people to become God's children. Where did the theory that states that believers can only receive salvation through the crucifixion and blood of the cross, come from? They did not understand Jesus' true nature. Human beings have institutionalized salvation through priests and bishops, resulting in many problems during the past two thousand years. However, the Protestantism did not express understanding of Jesus' true nature. Protestants did not know why Heaven's providence led to sending the Messiah. Jesus died on the cross and said he would return. He would return to host the marriage supper of the Lamb.
After waiting for two thousand years, was Christianity prepared to welcome Jesus? This is the issue. Fallen humanity cannot directly return to God. That is why fallen humanity needs the Messiah. The Messiah is humanity's true parents who can resurrect, revive and guide humanity to become God's children once again. Heaven's providence must reach its conclusion; therefore, the providence has advanced even with endless waiting and numerous difficulties. Thus, for the fulfillment of the providence, Heaven has prepared a foundation for True Parents to be born. The central figures are the True Parents and I am God's only daughter, the True Mother.
While waiting for the returning Lord in his Second Coming, Christianity's mission was to find and raise God's only daughter. That they still do not understand the providence is phenomenal. I can no longer delay the providence. Six years ago, I proclaimed a new era by announcing that I am God's only daughter, for whom Heaven has been searching and the returning Messiah has been waiting.
The importance of the family
At the beginning of this year, I hosted the Africa Summit in Senegal. As you know, Senegal is an Islamic country. Our church has not established a strong foundation there. However, I chose Senegal because I know Heaven's providence. So I proclaimed my identity there and the highest religious leaders said, We welcome God's only daughter, the True Mother of humanity.
However, the Christian realm is not sleeping either. Many leaders -- in particular leaders with eight million or ten million followers -- have been accepting me as God's only daughter. These Christian leaders are taking the lead and hosting heavenly tribal messiah blessings.
The path to the kingdom of heaven on earth, which we desire, has to be through the family. The basic unit in which to enter heaven is the family. Christians believe by believing in Jesus, you can ascend to Paradise by yourselves, but you cannot go alone. It is through the family. There can be no perfection in ignorance. That is why I am educating others everywhere I go. I am teaching the truth to guide people to make a decision and join the providence of their own volition. Times have changed. That is why I hope Latin America, which is in the position of the body, can fulfill its God-given responsibilities after Heaven has blessed you so.
Natural preservation and peace
Two decades ago, my husband and I went to the remote parts of the Amazon and to Paraguay; the Amazon is like the Earth's lungs and heart. By preserving the Amazon, we can see a future for humanity and have an active providence in this Amazon region. However, there are those who do not understand the providence. People guided by their own selfishness are causing difficulties in the providence. All of you here today, my hope is that you can understand this providential truth and become leaders who can handle the truth from Heaven. We need to preserve and save our beautiful planet, which its original owner, God, created. We can no longer be bystanders. We should not live only for today. We should live for the past, present and future.
Everyone! As leaders, all of you here are in a parental position. When I think about the future with a motherly heart, the reality is that the world today does not bring hope for our beloved children's future. So what should we do? We need to rectify what went wrong. Until now, we can see that men have heavily influenced the global providence. However, the mother is the one who gives birth and nurtures with a maternal heart. Now is the time for women to take the lead!
Therefore, I hope all of you here today will pledge to support this International Peace Highway to advance communication and peaceful equality from Santiago, Chile, in South America to Alaska in North America through Eurasia to Korea and the rest of the world. Later this year, we will have the second Africa Summit in South Africa. I want to lift a shovel for the groundbreaking of the International Highway from the Cape of Good Hope through Africa all the way to Europe, Asia and Korea. I will lift a shovel to ensure that humanity can communicate and unite centering on God while True Parents are here.
We have assets in many Latin American nations. I want to establish the HJ Magnolia Foundation to oversee these assets and open the path for Latin America, indeed every country in the world, to enjoy common prosperity. Will all of you here at the summit support this initiative? If this abundantly blessed continent can support and unite with God's only daughter, the True Mother, you will all be in the position of a great ancestor for eternity! I sincerely pray and hope that you will become such a person today. Thank you.
