Hyo Jeong Global Peace Foundation Scholarship Award
Ceremony, True Parents' Message
February 24, 2018, Cheongshim International Youth Center
Did
you miss me a lot? I just came from participating in the 24th ICUS. For 22 years ICUS led with the theme of
Absolute Values and last year after 17 years we revived ICUS.
Up
until now, humanity strived to live good lives in accordance with their
original natures, yet the environment could not keep up with them, and because
they did not stand at the center their selfishness and their individual greed
took the forefront and that phenomenon made today as it is. Especially when we
look at the history of human civilization, it is true that scientific
developments have provided us, in the present, with a bountiful and comfortable
life. Yet, what I am saying here today
is that all humankind, especially scientists must know God. We must know the essence of God, the Creator,
who is the owner of the Universe, and we must know what his dream was. It is the truth that humankind has emerged
incorrectly until now.
Originally
when God created Heaven, Earth, and all things he created according to his
form. The center of birth and the
creation of life, more so than the father, is the mother. Isn't that so? God our Creator! Father and Mother together
created all things in the cosmos. That
shape can be seen as plus and minus in the mineral kingdom, stamen and pistil in the plant kingdom, male and
female in the animal kingdom, and God created a man and a woman that would
become the first ancestors of humankind. The Bible refers to them as Adam and
Eve. However,
God hoped to see humanity develop into perfection through the growth-period.
Because he wished that Adam and Eve must
go forward completely united with God.
Yet during this time, they
developed greed. They thought "I
too can become like God" they developed greed
for things before the correct time. This
is how they became fallen humankind who could not be together with God.
Heaven
cannot change God's principles of creation.
God is omniscient and omnipotent. The purpose God set undoubtedly has to
be realized. Yet the difficult thing is that God absolutely needs humankind's
cooperation. God, the Absolute Creator,
had to begin the providence of salvation. Indemnity follows the providence of
salvation, Indemnity has to be paid from
the individual, family, tribe, and national level to become free. We can see this through the Bible and through
Heaven's providence of restoration.
Heaven waited as the bitter history of the providence of restoration
through indemnity unfolded. After the long-period of four thousand years, God chose
the nation through which he could send the Savior who he can call "My Son".
How difficult must it have been that it
took four thousand years to shed the indemnity? However, what happened? The
people around Jesus did not know the Jesus' purpose or his essence. They thought of him as a person, as an
individual. The person who could save
humankind and become the first good ancestor of
humankind, they sent that person to the cross.
The
resurrection of Christianity began through the Pentecost of the Holy
Spirit. As Jesus died on the cross he said: "I will return". He said he would
come back and hold the marriage supper of the lamb. The marriage supper of the lamb! The goal of
Christianity and Heaven's providence is the only daughter of God that could not
be found and attended two thousand years ago.
Yet, Christians today do not know this.
There are many religions around the world. However, they too do not know what the goal
or the final destination is. Yesterday
at the ICUS, I told them they must not stop at just knowing God they must
conduct their research from the position of attendance to God. Until now, scientific development has been
partial to only one direction. Do you
know what the world is afraid of today? It is nuclear
power which has an enormous destructive power. I know that even the nuclear
reactors which help us in our everyday lives have been causing enormous damage
due to its nuclear waste. If this
science is only developed from one direction, and that is the direction of
destruction, then humankind and the earth has no future. Therefore, I am saying that you must know
God and through receiving inspiration and wisdom from God, you must protect
this environment which is heading towards its final days with no hope for
humankind. Do you understand what I am
saying?
Heaven
gave us poison. There are poisonous
snakes and there are plants with poison.
Yet Heaven also gave us substances which can counteract the poison. What this means is that God's principles of
creation from when he created the universe, can be perpetuated eternally. It can exist forever! The world of all
created things, which did not fall, circulates well according to the principles
of creation. However, it is true that this beautiful world, this nature, is
being destroyed through human ignorance.
When I saw the news today, it said that the concentration of fine dust
is serious today. Fine dust! Especially
Korea, due to the yellow dust and the fine dust which comes from Korea has a
higher concentration. It is not enough
for just one country to do well. There
must cooperate to move in a direction to overcome these problems.
Therefore,
not long ago, I warned China in this way.
"You are spending a great amount of money on the military. With
that money your nation can turn the Gobi desert into beautiful land, even if
you invest one-third of that it is
possible" This was what I said.
They only need to make effort but they do not think of the future. The
phenomenon of only looking right in front of them is occurring in all
government of all nations and is because of the greed to put their own nation's
benefit first. Thus because I know God I told the scientists, "I am the
Mother of the Universe!". Therefore I cannot tolerate these
phenomena. I told them no matter what I
have to make this right. I am saying in
order to do this I hope for all of your cooperation. Did I do well?
Also, I spoke to scientists in our
second-generation, I saw that they have grown beautifully. They are the hope of our future. I ask that you dream big, so that the world
God originally created, a healthy planet with a bright future for humankind, a
world of freedom, equality, peace, and happiness, and a world of one human family centered on
God, can begin. I ask that you grow beautifully and healthily so that through
your studies and your efforts you will develop more brilliant ideas and become
more brilliant than those scientists, and through your pure selves, become
people who can give hope to this world today.
