CARP's fiftieth anniversary
Chung Pyung Training Center
To CARP students from Korea and abroad
I was very excited as I was coming to meet all of you. From the beginning, when God created the universe, he had a dream, something he had hoped for. When looking at the immediate results of his dream, I think in his heart he had this same happy expectation. The Bible says that God had created the universe in six days and rested on the seventh. The concept of time in the Bible, the notion of days, is not six actual days. It says, "there was evening and there was morning, one day." [Genesis 1:5] The creation of the universe is not a concept of time but represents the necessary period to give life to all created beings. God created Adam and Eve and saw that it was good and he was happy. God created the first human ancestors, Adam and Eve, and specifically gave human beings responsibility. He hoped that they would grow and become one with God, through the heart of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. This was the providence for God to feel joy and happiness through future humans. Unfortunately, the heart expressing selfishness and greed formed. The result of that untimely greed was the Fall. That is how the beginning of fallen history of humanity, with no connection to God, began.
Carrying the providence
Most of you here today, are second-generation members from parents who have received the blessing from True Parents. In that case, each of you is the "pure water" that our Heavenly Parent can feel joy toward for the first time in six thousand years. Do you understand? Through True Parents -- pure water. You are in a position with no connection to the Fall. Yet when we look at the environment of this fallen world, do you think we still have a long way to go, or a short way to go? You all are in the position of true children who have received the blessing from heaven for the first time in six thousand years. In that case, you must all absolutely become one with True Parents. You must become the filial children, loyal subjects and soldiers who will realize our Heavenly Parent's and True Parents' dream. Do you understand that? In order for you to do that, you must all become the best in each of your fields. In this large environment -- the world -- we must make a protective fence that embraces 7.3 billion people. In that sense, the world today has been without hope, without peace. This world has many walls. Religions do as well. The walls in religions are very tall. In light of the original standard, religions that do not know God's providence should not be greedy but should humble themselves.
Responsibilities
The world today has no owner. In short, this is not the world that our Heavenly Parent desires. You must lead the way in broadening our Heavenly Parent's and True Parents' hope and in bringing their wish to fruition. On your own volition, you must gather the 7.3 billion people of the world to praise the heavens, and guide them to live their lives according to their original minds, offering joy and glory to True Parents. I am reflecting on the modern conveniences in this twenty-first century. Throughout history as civilization has developed, no one has known Heavenly Parent's and True Parents' situations. To say that instead civilization has rushed in the opposite direction, toward destruction, would not be wrong. When we look at the history of civilization and the history of wars -- far from making the world that God originally created more abundant and healthy -- our highly developed scientific civilizations have produced weapons of war and nuclear weapons as means of destruction, leading to hopeless wars that put our world in danger.

Turning the world around
When God originally created energy, human beings should have done research and begun developing in a beneficial direction. The result of destructive research is today's nuclear weapons. If we cannot resolve this, there is no future for the world, no future for the human race. True Father brought together and educated many intellectuals through the International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences and the Professors World Peace Academy. In the midst of this, he was able to end the reign of communism. The United States, a world power, could not even imagine this and felt threatened by communism. True Father was able to accomplish this without anyone's help. The United States was raised centered on the providence, but it is now in the midst of chaos. Once again, for you and me, our task is to give the world, not despair but hope! That is why from next year, I will research ways to heal the damage in the world and the damage to humans done by the misguided use of civilization's scientific developments. That is not all. You all like games, right? We will create healthy games for those in preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school and university, based on the providence, using Divine Principle and True Parents' global peace initiatives. I have given the order to research this and create a general plan.
Invincible in unity
No one can go against those of you who go forward united with True Parents. We must fulfill our responsibilities for this nation, which is at the center of national restoration and restoration of the world. This is not something that someone will do for us. Heavenly Parent and all people of the world must see you and all the blessed families united as citizens of God's homeland. You are the pure water that took six thousand years to emerge thanks to True Parents' efforts. Through all of you, this murky world, this dirty world, must become clear.
Total Commitment
In order to do that, you must all be thorough. Absolute faith, absolute love, absolute obedience! Those who become one with True Parents and march forward cannot be defeated on that path. CARP students, national restoration and global restoration will happen with your hands! We must mobilize members of CARP from around the world here in Korea, God's homeland and unite to go forth boldly toward national restoration and global restoration!
