True Parents’ HJ Cheonwon Special Workshop Japan Top Gun College Graduation
Cheon Jeong Gung
As I watched your enthusiastic performance, I began to think of the 1960s. At that time, I was seventeen! I was younger than any of you are now. However, because I knew that Heaven had a big dream for me, I said that during my lifetime I would become the only daughter of God, a True Parent, of the True Parents whom humankind has hoped for and waited for, and achieve Heavenly Parent’s dream.
I have lived with this unchanging heart for fifty-seven years. Now if the three years until 2020 when we have to fulfill our responsibility in front of Heaven passes, I would have followed this path of embracing Heaven’s will with single-hearted devotion for sixty years. At the beginning, the foundation for True Parents was very weak. There were only a few members. This moment you are looking at today has passed through the national foundation and has become the global foundation. If you compare the goal that you have decided to accomplish to circumstances when I began in 1960, you today are looking at a global foundation. In the beginning, the Creator, God, created the universe and lastly created Adam and Eve, who would become the first human ancestors. God gave Adam and Eve responsibilities. The growth period... In the growth period, they should have become absolutely one with God, have grown in a healthy manner, become beautiful and finally, have been in the position to receive God’s blessing.
However, they began to look towards themselves greedily. This was the Fall. Heaven’s creation follows the principle of circulation in which creation can continue eternally. Due to this, God had no choice but to abandon fallen Adam and Eve. However, in accordance with God’s purpose of creation, God could not create someone else to become the first ancestor of humankind. The Fall caused the difficult path of indemnity. God had no choice but to begin the lonely and difficult path of restoration through indemnity. How difficult must it have been that it took four thousand years to choose the Israelites and fulfill restoration through indemnity? Because lost humankind must become the center, Heaven had to go through the difficult course of restoration through indemnity. After four thousand years, when the Israelites had created the national foundation, Heaven sent the only son of God, Jesus Christ. However, the result was that humankind could not fulfill their responsibility.
Mary (who gave birth to Jesus), Zachariah’s family, figures in Judaism and the Israelites should have united with Jesus. Furthermore, Mary should have created the foundation for Jesus to become the True Parent. She did not fulfill her responsibility to create the environment and lived with Joseph. The two thousand years of Christian history was the providence to find the only daughter of God, who had not been found at Jesus’ time. As Jesus died on the cross, he said he would return. He said he would come back and hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. Christianity of today does not understand what those words meant. Heaven cannot raise and use again the Israelites, who did not fulfill their responsibility. The foundation to find the only daughter of God had to be raised anew. That is why Heaven chose and raised a benevolent people, the Korean people, who could give birth to the only daughter of God.
If you follow the stream back through Korean history, Heaven blessed the Republic of Korea, this people, because Heaven blessed Korea to give birth to the only daughter of God that had gone undiscovered two thousand years ago. You must know this. Therefore, throughout history the Korean people were a good people. They hated war. They were a cultured people, a cultured people who maintained things such as Goguryeo for a thousand years. After that was the nation of Goryeo. They took the “go” from Goguryeo and named it Goryeo. Those in Goryeo also did not fulfill their responsibility, so the Yi Dynasty came to be. Furthermore, the Yi Dynasty adopted the name Choseon. From Gochoseon, they took “choseon” and made it to their name. However, in 1945, coinciding with Korea’s liberation, the monarchy collapsed, communism and democracy and took over North Korea and South Korea. The southern part, which gave birth to a democratic nation, was called Korea, the Republic of Korea!
