True Mother started her speech by announcing the theme of the sermon: “Heaven’s providence keeps developing. The mission that Japan has as a mother nation is important, but today I want to talk about the mission that Korea has as a father nation.”
She explained the history of the Human Fall. “In the beginning of the universe, God created all things, including Adam and Eve, and He had hope,” she said, adding, “God gave the first human beings the responsibility [to obey the commandment not to eat of the fruit] which meant they should wait until God would say, ‘it is the right time.’ But what was the result? Adam and Eve disobeyed God and were thrown out of the Garden of Eden. Then, humankind connected to a false parent’s blood linage, that of Satan, and built a fallen world.” She then explained the history of the providence and the history of the blessing transference.
She emphasized that the first generation also need to fulfill their responsibilities instead of giving all responsibilities to the second- and third generation. “Even though you are first generation, are you going to give the responsibilities that you can fulfill to the second and third generation? You need to fulfill your responsibilities as well. That’s why we are full of hope and happy people.”
True Mother finished her speech with emphasizing the importance of witnessing. “We need to bring all seven billion people to participate in a happy world – a world in peace, freedom, unity, and happiness – through introducing and educating people about True Parents. Only that path will lead you to become proud leaders of Unification Blessed Families. Will all of you do that? Please be determined to bring the victorious vision 2020 earlier than predicted year of 2020.”
The event successfully finished with three cheers of Eok Mansei.
