Today I would like to speak about “God’s providence
seen through the development of civilization through history and our
responsibility today.”
In the beginning, God had a dream, a parent’s dream
that God and human beings would share love and happiness for all eternity in
the midst of God's Creation. In light of this, why did the omniscient and
omnipotent being not stop Adam and Eve at the Fall? This was because God had given
human beings a great blessing, but they did not fulfill their responsibilities.
Through the selfish thoughts and actions of the Fall, all humankind was born in
Satan’s lineage. However, Heaven could not just give up.
Therefore, God singled out the people of Israel to
receive his will in the world and raised them for four thousand years. It was
not just one or two months. Why did the long span of four thousand years pass?
Fallen man had to go through indemnity in order to
appear in Heaven’s presence. God set up numerous central figures but because at
a crucial moment they could not overcome indemnity, they failed. After a long
period of four thousand years, God said, I will send him, and sent the messiah.
At that time, the people of Israel still did not
have a nation. The satanic world had a Cain-type “nation” called the Roman
Empire. God intended that empire to be the path to the world. Heaven tried to
embrace the world through the great Roman Empire.
However, the ignorant people of Israel, the Jews,
and especially Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, did not fulfill their
responsibilities. How could Mary live a married life when Jesus was single? Christianity
today has been moving in the wrong direction. We must now reveal the truth and
return all things to their correct positions. Jesus told Mary many times that
he must get married. However, in the end, Mary could not create an environment
for Jesus and could not fulfill her responsibilities. This resulted in her
being the cause of Jesus taking the way of the cross.
After that, Heaven’s providential history did not
ask anything more of the people of Israel. From that time, Heaven began the
providential history of searching for the foundation for the only begotten
daughter of God.
The Dongi tribe [Eastern Barbarians], which later developed
into the Han clan empire, existed from 800 bc
to 400 bc. That was the Dongi
tribe. They were great astronomers. When Jesus was born, there is the story of
the three wise men. I am
confident that they were from the Dongi tribe.
The Han clan was a benevolent people. They were the
people Heaven selected as the chosen people. That is why they did not like
fighting and why they were pushed out of China all the way to the Korean Peninsula,
becoming the Korean people.
It is the time for the truth about history to come
out. Just as heaven raised the people of Israel for 4,000 years, they have
raised this nation, these people, for the advent of the only begotten daughter
of God.
It has not been long since Protestantism came to
Korea. At that time, there was a spiritual revival centered in Pyongyang. “Grandmother”
Kim Seong-do of the Holy Lord Church set the foundation stage. This church was
in the position of deceiving and marrying Satan. They were able to bring Satan,
in the form of Kim Seong-do’s husband, under submission. They could set the
foundation stage for receiving the Returning Lord.
Then the Heo Ho-bin congregation came. This group
set the growth stage, because they prepared everything for the returning Lord.
They fulfilled the role of alleviating Jesus’ bitter pain. In the middle of
that, at the formation, growth and completion stages centered on Dae-mo nim and
with the blessings of heaven, in 1943, I, the only begotten daughter of God,
was born.
Just as in the time of Jesus, a person who had no
connection to Satan, the only begotten daughter of God, found directly by Heaven,
was born. After Korea’s liberation from Japan, democracy and communism existed.
Communism earnestly began its activities centered in northern Korea.
Eventually, Heo Ho-bin went to prison. I was six years old at the time. Heo Ho-bin’s
mother took responsibility over the group and she called me over to tell me I
was the “bride of the Lord.”
Communism was then gradually spreading in northern
Korea where there was no freedom of religion. However because those in this spiritual
group, based in Pyongyang, believed that the Returning Lord would come, they
did not even consider heading south.
My uncle had been studying in Japan, but he did not
return to his hometown after the liberation. We received news that he had instead
joined the Army in the south. My grandmother, Cho Won-mo, my mother, Hong
Soon-ae (Dae-mo nim) and I, just three women, traveled south to find my uncle.
That was in 1948; two years later the Korean War began…. As it happened, Heaven
told True Father, then in southern Korea to go to northern Korea. Heaven had me
go south and had Father go north. True Father received his mission from Jesus
at the age of 16. In order to begin as the returning Lord, he had to go through
indemnity, which is why in the end Father went to prison in the north.
Heaven could not just let everything end in prison.
The only begotten daughter of God had already been born. Thus, heaven had to
protect Father. That is why Father came south with the help of the UN Forces
and how Father was able to complete the word as the only begotten Son of God.
That is the responsibility of the only begotten son of God, and he did
accomplish that. He also had to find followers. On that foundation, in 1960 he
met the only begotten daughter of God and moved forward into the position of a True
Parent.
I said earlier that we must reveal the truth behind
providential history. The 2,000 years of Christian providential history was the
providence to find the only begotten daughter of God. This is because in our
Heavenly Parent’s providential work through history, the final component that had
to be found was the only begotten daughter of God.
A new stage of providential history is beginning through the only begotten daughter of
God. The people of this nation, the birthplace of the Returning Lord, the True
Parents, must fulfill their responsibilities in relation to Heaven. The Korean
people must know why the Korean people were chosen. This nation is God’s homeland
and must become True Parents’ nation. Blessed families are the ones that have
the responsibility to pave the way for that foundation, which is why they must
fulfill their mission as tribal messiahs and realize national restoration. While
I am still on earth, we must absolutely realize Heaven’s will. This nation must
surely become True Parents’ nation and become a model for the 7.3 billion
people of the world.
The role of the island nations in the history of
human civilization is great. True Father blessed Japan with the mission of the
Eve nation. Right? Blessings come with responsibility. Only by fulfilling that
can you receive the full blessing. You must consider this seriously and bear
fruit. We must unite with True Parents and show a united front.
Today, it seems only incidents giving rise to
despair are occurring all over the world. There are many walls—religious walls,
ethnic and cultural borders.... Also, the world has a “disease” caused by human
wrongdoing. Recently many earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters
are causing loss of life. However, all nations—especially nations that consider
themselves big—rather than thinking of the whole, think only of what benefits
their own nation.
That is why I am moving in the direction of solving
all of the problems one by one in stages. In our movement, young people are
uniting with True Parents. They are creating an actual environment that we can
show to the nation and the world through creating a strong foundation in the Family
Federation and cultivating future leaders.
All through his life, Father gathered scholars in
order to embrace the world—particularly scientists, intellectuals and famous
professors. Father set before them the responsibility and task of bringing
about world peace. The people who were responsible for that did not continuously
develop and many of those programs ended. It is true that scientists have
contributed a lot to human civilization. However, when we look at the larger
picture, they also contributed to polluting the Earth through things like the development
of nuclear weapons, which have terrifying destructive power. That is why I
would like to restore the Earth that God created, this beautiful Earth, to its
original state, changing the direction of the mistaken scientific development
to the right direction.
The earth not being able to exist would mean humans
would not be able to exist either. As True Parents, can we just say, “It’s dangerous;
it’s dangerous,” and not do anything? That is why I have many things I must do.
Will you help me with all my work?
I receive strength from all of you. While I am
still here, I want Heavenly Parent to be able to say, “Thank you for becoming
one with True Mother and realizing my dream.” We cannot delay dealing with this
urgent reality any further. You must feel the urgency of what we are facing. In
the providence, there is no postponing these matters until tomorrow. We must
succeed today. Do you understand? I pray that you can all become proud filial
sons or daughters and loyal subjects, Cheon Il Guk soldiers that will liberate
Heavenly Parent’s and True Parents’ desperate hearts. Aju.
