2018 True Parents' Special New Year Gathering for Cheon Il Guk Leaders
Cheon Jeong Gung
Beloved blessed families and members from around the world:
The first step to realizing Heaven's dream of one human family centered on God is national restoration. As things stand right now, I cannot have conviction about many aspects of this. How can all blessed families around the world and all the world's 7.5 billion people know Heavenly Parent and True Parents and become filial children and loyal patriots that can realize their dream?
When we look at the things occurring around the world today, we feel there is no hope. People have tried very hard. They dreamed of a peaceful and happy world. However, the path to that was always out of reach. This was because there was no center. We are blessed families who have been reborn through the True Parents. We are blessed. Those who receive blessings have responsibilities. Those responsibilities are not for yourself but are responsibilities toward your neighbors, your tribe, your nation and the world. The basic step for that is the responsibility as heavenly tribal messiahs. How much devotion have you offered for that?
Time is of the essence
Only two years remain to reach our goal by 2020. As nations of model blessed families and nations that have fulfilled their tribal messiah missions -- who not only know God but attend God -- you must show others that if they follow in this way, Heaven will bless them too.
In the central providential nations, Korea, Japan and America, please think about how you will show and reveal to the world a Family Federation for a Heavenly Korea, for a Heavenly America and for a Heavenly Japan whose members have been successful as heavenly tribal messiahs. That is why I made the decision that we will look at Korea as a region and will divide it into five sub-regions. If the five leaders move as one, you will be able to be five times more effective. The sub-regions will take the form of a nation.
From five years ago, I told the Family Federation that you must go forward with the spirit and the truth. After Jesus went the way of the cross, Christianity began through resurrection by the Holy Spirit. Yet even after such a long time, Christianity, which has centered on people, does not comprehend the essence and has made many mistakes and has had many failures. When Jesus died on the cross, he prophesied he would return and hold the marriage supper of the Lamb. However, Christians today, even members of the clergy, still wait for the returning Messiah to come on the clouds.
Through the Creation, God made man and woman. A man alone cannot complete the providence. The man must have a partner -- a woman! Christianity arose so that among humankind they would know this and prepare the foundation for it. However, for them it is still evening. They are unable to wake up from their slumber. The Bible says, there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day. Their evening sleep was so long that when the time came for Christians to greet a new morning, they are unable to do so.
Awaken the world
What must we do then? We must reveal the truth! We must wake them up from their sleep and in this new era, we must give them the love that will contribute to completing the providence centered on True Parents. That was why I said you should reveal the truths of history. While you were hesitating, I myself went out and proclaimed, 'I am God's only daughter." What was the result? Members of America's clergy, ACLC, welcomed me. They asked, How did we not know this truth?
What are you afraid of? The world has reached its limit. In this situation, there is no hope for humankind nor hope that we can remain living on Earth. Many scientists are concerned about what will happen to the planet in the next few years. Can humankind survive if there is no Earth? If we just watch when we are in this situation, we cannot ensure the future of our descendants or future generations.
Therefore, each of you, each of your families, must all do the work of a hundred people and be victorious. You must teach people the truth. Therefore, I also decided to do this in America. There is no doubt that America is a large nation; it has fifty states. America will be a region divided into five sub-regions. They made the determination that no matter what, they will become a nation that fulfills its responsibilities. The three central nations will unite under one system, one organization and help one another to advance toward our goal! The three nations will form a trinity, communicate with one another and share their results.
I felt we must have an organization that can be 120 percent effective during the remaining time we have. Therefore, today I am looking at Japan as a region and have divided it into five sub-regions. By doing this, I believe that Japan too will move quickly towards national restoration. By doing this, all the work I have been doing since Father's Seonghwa will be in order. Now you are heavenly [shin] tribal messiahs! You must become tribal messiahs in which the "shin" does not mean "new" but means "tribal messiahs that attend God." Therefore, we are building the Cheonbowon [Genealogy Center] so that your devotions and hard work can be reported to Heaven and you can leave behind a record of your results. I pray that all of you here today can become filial children and loyal patriots that can enter into the records there.
