2018 True Parents Special New Year Gathering for Cheon Il Guk Leaders
January 5, Cheon Jeong Gung
Beloved blessed families
and members around the world: The first step to realizing Heaven’s dream of
one human family centered on God is national restoration. As we are right now,
I cannot have conviction in many different aspects. How can all Blessed
Families around the world and all 7.5 billion people of the world 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 towards 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? There are now only two
years left 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 of Korea, Japan and America, please think
about how you will show and reveal a Family Federation for a Heavenly Korea,
for a Heavenly America, for a Heavenly Japan whose members have been successful
as heavenly tribal messiahs to the world. That is why I made the decision. 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 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 know the essence and has made many mistakes and has many failures. When
Jesus died on the cross, he prophesized 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 created 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, 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. The evening sleep was so long that when the time
came for Christians to greet a new morning, they are unable to do so. 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 the only daughter of
God." 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 this 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, loyal patriots that can
enter into the records there.
