This document is a translation of a compilation of Korean blog posts written in 2016-2017 from various websites. It is unclear whether they are from one author or several.
1) The meaning of representative body and heir On April 23, 2010, True Parents issued a proclamation. Before he passed to the spirit world, True Father proclaimed the axis of inheritance before God and humankind. "The headquarters of cosmic peace is also the one unique headquarters. Its representative body and heir is Moon Hyung Jin. Any other person is a heretic and destroyer. The contents written here are a proclamation of the True Parent(s). Sealed: Sun Myung Moon.”
True Father established Moon Hyung Jin as his representative body and proxy, his heir and inheritor. He also very clearly warned that any other person aspiring to that position is a ‘heretic and destroyer’. So how do you understand the current reality that we see today, where people have rejected Father's representative body and heir, causing the current denominational split? Clearly, those people have become heretics and destroyers, fulfilling True Father’s very words.
What is the significance of True Parents blessing of the representative body and heir? True Parents blessed Moon Hyung Jin as their representative body and heir. The Korean expression 'Dae Shin Ja' means someone who ‘stands in place of my own body’. It means that the dae shin ja is True Father's body. It is a promise from True Father that he will be with Moon Hyung Jin and present inside him. It also means that Moon Hyung Jin resides in the direct dominion of True Father and God.
Father also blessed Hyung Jin Nim as his 'Sang Sok Ja' - his heir and inheritor. But what exactly did True Father inherit and bequeath to Hyung Jin Nim? Was it money? Was it the assets of the Family Federation? Was it the Cheon Jeong Gung? No, True Father’s inheritance is more than this - the inheritance given by the Messiah is not limited to some sort of material foundation. What Father actually bequeathed to his heir is the authority of the True Parents. True Father bequeathed his will and his heart (shimjeong). He left his completion of the providence of restoration to his heir. People, wake up! You have to understand this point! True Father has designated his heir and told us to follow this person after he is gone.
How can you possibly turn your back on the heir established directly by True Father? How can you ostracize Moon Hyung Jin, True Father's representative and proxy? The Messiah, the True Parent, the King of Kings blessed Hyung Jin Nim as his dae shin ja, his body and his heir. He proclaimed this to all of heaven and earth by crowning him in three separate coronation ceremonies, in front of God, and this fact cannot be changed by anyone. God himself witnessed and recognized it. Even Hak Ja Han cannot deny this point.
And as if this wasn’t enough, True Father, in his own words, states very clearly: anyone who denies this fact is a heretic and a destroyer. This means that anyone who denies this will be unable to escape judgment.
The leaders of the Family Federation tell us that they cannot recognize this proclamation by True Parents as an official document because True Father issued it as a written proclamation without formal due process. But who was it that so actively asked True Father to bless Moon Hyung Jin as his heir at the time this document was made? It was Hak Ja Han
Moreover, when the Family Federation leadership asserts that True Father didn’t use the proper procedures to decide his line of succession, or that he was incapable of making the correct decision at the time, they are essentially denying True Father’s messiahship and denying the providence of God through True Father. After making the proclamation, True Father very clearly explained his reasons for establishing Hyung Jin Nim as his successor. In addition, he went on to conduct three consecutive coronation ceremonies in which he crowned Moon Hyung Jin's couple as True Parents' dae shin ja. He also transferred to Moon Hyung Jin's couple his authority and jurisdiction over the Blessing. All the evidence of this is recorded in video footage and is easily verifiable.
But the leadership of the Family Federation has rejected the Messiah and betrayed his will.
When I understood this, I came to a personal determination. At the time, church members were criticizing me, saying that I had caused Mother much sorrow. So false! I have done nothing more than chosen to follow True Father's will and True Father's words. Moreover, True Father has shown his approval of my choice through signs. Even though this means I have separated from you, I have been able to establish my vertical axis. Because the Han Mother has chosen to deny True Father's final will, I cannot recognize her. I have left the church that I love, the church that I invested my heart in for 38 years, and yet I feel no hesitation or fear. Rather, my heart aches for you who have turned your backs on the path of sincerity and truth.
I have left the Family Federation, even though I dedicated my faith, love and youth to that organization. Everyone laughs at me, telling me that I am acting like an idiot. They take the things that I say and use them to slander me. They cut me off, refusing to even engage with me. They refuse to talk with me. They isolate me. But I am not a weak-willed person. I’m not worried about what others think of me. I don't care if others call me an idiot or a moron because on my faith in True Father. And I expect that the Family Federation headquarters and even the church members will persecute me even more in the future, but it doesn't scare me at all. My mind is full of conviction and confidence. Unlike some people I know, I'm not worn down by a desire for horizontal acceptance, such that I throw away my fidelity or my principles. Up until the final moment, I won’t let go. I’ll be following True Father's will, even if it means I have to grab hold of his trousers and get myself dragged along.
Why is that? Because this is what True Father told us to do. Because following Moon Hyung Jin is the only way to preserve the words of True Father, and it’s the only way to uphold the principles and the principled order established by True Father. Most importantly, it’s the only way to preserve the 3 kingships that True Father established. Why else? Because at this very moment, the Family Federation has left the path of God's heavenly will. It has become an unprincipled instrument moving to eternally erase the 3 kingships put in place by True Father himself.
This is the instrument to which you have aligned yourselves, and it is to such leaders that you are offering your absolute faith and absolute obedience.
The purpose of the life of faith of the Unificationist is to follow the Will by attending to the lineage of Heaven.
Let me quote a passage from the Bible (Matthew 7/22 ~ 23). Many will say to me on that day, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?” Then I will tell them plainly, “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!”
2) Denial of the three kingships: Denial of True Father's lineage The Family Federation has rejected the successor established by True Father, the one he anointed as his representative body and heir. They have rejected the line of succession established by Christ, the King of Kings. They have denied the three kingships and they have declared that the organ known as ‘the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council’ will determine the successor.
The Supreme Council is comprised of the current leadership of the Family Federation. In their structure, the Supreme Council is the one to select the person who becomes the successor to authority. Accordingly, if they don’t like the way you speak, or act, you can never become the successor. What this means is that over and above the successor, the Supreme Council is the one that rules.
But the true heir was decided on by the True Parents. In three separate official ceremonies, True Parents together publicly proclaimed the heir before God and before all of heaven and earth. You, then, are rejecting and denying the three kingships that connects True Father, Moon Hyung Jin and Moon Shin Joon Nim. Under what authority and in whose name are you trying to overturn this? Your actions are in direct opposition to the will of the Messiah.
You deny the lineage of Heaven and the seed of Heaven. Do you remember why God the Creator became a God of sorrow? The human ancestors were seduced by Satan and they fell, losing God's lineage. It was leaving God’s lineage to join Satan's lineage that constituted the Fall. For what purpose was Jesus sent? We learned about this through the Principle. Jesus was sent to find a bride so that he could establish Heaven's lineage here on the earth.
So what then is the reason we need the Second Coming? Jesus could not find his bride and died upon the cross, so he must return again as the bridegroom to find the bride and celebrate the marriage of the Lamb. But what for? To connect the lineage of Heaven and plant it here on Earth. What is the supreme hope of the children of the Unification family? It is to be engrafted into the lineage of Heaven.
Hak Ja Han denied her own sons - the very lineage of Heaven - and chased them out. 5 In addition, in order to eternally deny and erase the heavenly seed, the ‘successor’ will now be decided by the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council...
If the Messiah's successor can be determined by a group of people known as ‘the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council’, then why did Heaven need to send the Messiah in the first place? You could simply select a really smart person by holding an election. Just use the democratic process, just like when a President is elected, or when members of congress are elected. In other words, why on earth does Heaven have to work and prepare for two thousand years to send the Messiah? You can just elect him.
No. You have forgotten the very foundations of the Divine Principle. You have forgotten what the original lineage is. You have even forgotten what the fallen lineage is. What are you doing? Are you just living your lives dreaming about all the blessings you might receive? Are you thinking you can just go to Cheong Pyeong, pay money to liberate and bless your ancestors, and clap your way into Heaven? Will you clap so hard that your hands hurt? Will you sing hymns and then just expect your ancestors to help you? Is this the meaning of your lives?
1) By what authority does Moon Hyung Jin give the blessing?
This is what the Family Federation say: we already received the Blessing from True Parents. Why do we have to receive the Blessing again? They criticize us and say: "Moon Hyung Jin is nothing more than the son, so what kind of authority does he have to declare True Parents' blessing invalid and to tell us to receive the Blessing again?
That's true. Moon Hyung Jin is not the True Parent. He is, however, the True Parent's representative body and heir. He is the True Parent's successor. Following True Father's ascension to the spirit world, Moon Hyung Jin, as True Father's representative body, is the one responsible for the providence.
Indeed, Moon Hyung Jin is the center of all providential conditions. This is because True Father blessed him as his representative body. That fact is something you cannot deny, no matter how much you may want to. If you try to deny it, the only result will be an increase in the weight of your sin. Moreover, True Father bequeathed the authority to give the blessing to Moon Hyung Jin. That’s something else no one can deny. If you are unaware of this point, then ask about it. Father invested Hyung Jin Nim with authority to give the Blessing to true children, to the first generation, to the second generation, and even to the spirit world (spirit world blessing). For this reason, as True Parents’ representative body, Moon Hyung Jin has the authority to give the Blessing.
In contrast, Hak Ja Han does not have the authority to give the Blessing. Her position is that of True Father's wife. I have never heard anything said by True Father that he consented or gave Mother the authority to give the Blessing.
The Blessing is heavenly grace granted to us by Heaven with True Parents' couple as the officiators. It is a heavenly grace from the invisible God given through his representative body, the visible True Parent, to his descendents. Clearly, then, someone who has the heavenly lineage must be endowed with that authority to stand as an officiator of the blessing ceremony. It’s not something just anyone can do. Regardless of how many times Mother attended True Father and stood together with him as an officiator of the Blessing, the Blessing itself was always conducted centering on True Father. For example, the holy marriage vows, the holy marriage proclamation, even the benediction – all these were carried out by True Father. Mother held the position of officiator beside True Father only in the capacity of the True Mother. The Blessing itself must be conducted with a couple as officiators, representing True Parents as a whole.
For this reason, it simply isn’t possible for Hak Ja Han to stand by herself as an officiator of the Blessing. The Blessing must be conducted by the couple of the representative body and heir. Why? Because True Father himself determined that.
2) Why must we receive the 'Blessing to Return to the Realm of True Father's Authority'?
The reason that Moon Hyung Jin is conducting the 'Blessing to Return to the Realm of True Father's Authority' is that all Family Federation members left the realm of True Father's authority through participating in the false Foundation Day ceremony (January 13, 2013).
True Father told us that Foundation Day would be the third marriage ceremony of the True Parents. He said that it was to be the final marriage ceremony. This means that even though True Father had ascended to the spirit world, Mother on Earth had to attend to True Father in heaven and hold the Blessing on Foundation Day. However, there was no final third marriage ceremony for True Parents when Foundation Day took place. Instead, the only ceremony conducted was one in which the Han Mother ascended the throne, dressed in a crown as queen. Shortly after, the Han Mother declared herself as the Messiah and said that she had become the wife of God. Where, then, was True Father in all of this? The truth is that when Mother Hak Ja Han become the wife of the being referred to as ‘God’, she had already left the position of the wife of True Father.
On Foundation Day, church members drank the holy wine and received the Blessing while attending ‘Heavenly Parents’. They accepted the blessing and drank the holy wine by themselves in the absence of True Father. Who provided the holy wine? Clearly it was not holy wine consecrated by True Father. Externally, Foundation Day was conducted in a glorious and splendid manner, but tragically True Father's spirit was not there.
By drinking the holy wine and accepting a false blessing from the being referred to as ‘Heavenly Parents’, all members left True Father and lost their lineage connection to him. That is why all have to return. Everyone must, without fail, receive the 'Blessing to Return to the Realm of True Father's Authority'. Because all you, each one, went down a false path in ignorance, True Father's representative body and heir is extending an opportunity to be able to return through grace. Because he loves you, he wants to save you and for this reason, he is opening up this path. If you do not accept Hyung Jin Nim's words and ignore this 'Realm of Authority Blessing', you will have no connection to True Father. This is clear.
3) Ceremony for Blessing Ancestors
True Father instructed all blessed families to complete the blessing of 210 generations of ancestors before Foundation Day, but there were members who were unable to do this because of economic reasons. When beginning his course as the Second King, True Father's representative body Moon Hyung Jin made a determination for their sake, and for the sake of elder blessed families who attended True Father and invested themselves for God's will since the early days. He also made this determination for the sake of Japanese members who were unable to bless their ancestors. Those Japanese members had frequently gone into debt in order to make providential donations on the 8 global level, even raiding their children's education insurance to achieve the Will.
Cheon Il Guk is the world centering on God's heart and true love. Accordingly, Moon Hyung Jin declared that no one should be prevented from entering the Kingdom of Heaven simply because they do not have enough money to bless their ancestors. He stated that he would liberate and bless 210 generations with no donation requirement, although donations could still be offered. This ancestor liberation and blessing ceremony has been conducted twice so far (at the time of writing this text). In accordance with True Father's will, Moon Hyung Jin conducts a ceremony for the liberation and blessing of 210 generations in the capacity of the second generation kingship, once or twice a year. Before he ascended to the spirit world, True Father transferred to Moon Hyung Jin the authority to give the spirit world blessing. Now, the level of this blessing is different to the liberation blessing that people can only receive by donating tens of millions of won at Cheong Pyeong. Dae Mo Nim's liberation and blessing is different. The blessing from Hyung Jin Nim is conducted directly by the representative body and successor of True Father, who perfected the absolute level of Heaven's lineage.
1) Does Hak Ja Han have the authority to change True Father's words and principles?
The Family Federation asserts that because Mother is the perfected Eve, she cannot make mistakes or do anything wrong. They also assert that because she is one with True Father, what Mother does is the same as what True Father does. They say that True Father is with Mother spiritually. Accordingly, they assert, regardless of what she does, Mother is correct and righteous. In other words, members should follow in absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, even if they don't understand.
The members of the Family Federation are told that because President Hak Ja Han is the living True Mother, they must obey and follow everything. The Family Federation position is this: because Mother is ‘one mind, one body’ with True Father and has equal authority, she has the authority to revise and change True Father's words and instructions. In other words, Mother does not have to obey or follow True Father's words.
This position means that she can revise and modify the Eight Great Textbooks, including the Cheon Seong Gyeong; she can change, at her discretion, various principles and traditions that True Father established (Family Pledge, the Cheon Il Guk Anthem, the Holy Marriage vows, the position and role of subject and object, sale of holy grounds); if someone doesn’t obey Mother or is ‘unfilial’ to her, she can get rid of that person, even if it is True Father's successor; she can abolish the three kingships set by Father and set up the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council in its place, and when the council selects a successor according to Mother's will, only then will the Federation support that person.
On the basis of this position, True Father's words being deliberately altered and the institutions and guiding principles that he established over his lifetime are being swept aside and changed.
It makes no sense. What does ‘one mind, one body’ mean? Doesn't it mean that the mind and body have become completely one? Doesn’t it mean that the will and purpose and direction and action are all completely aligned? So then how can you say that the actions of denying, altering and remaking all of True Father's works are an expression of ‘one mind, one body’?
From the year 2000 onwards, True Father became deeply concerned, saying that Mother was not following True Father's words. When he was alive, True Father severely scolded Mother for going against the Will of Heaven, and reportedly even warned her that he could divorce her.
If one presents these words of True Father to the Family Federation headquarters, they just shut their mouths and run from the argument. They imagine that as long as they keep the members in the dark, it will all work out somehow. But is that really possible? They may be able to block the eyes and ears of the membership for a certain period of time, but the truth cannot be buried forever, and the 10 leadership cannot keep the members under wraps forever. The only people you can completely lock down are criminals (in prison) and the mentally ill.
2) Scrapping the Eight Great Textbooks
The Family Federation is abolishing the words that True Father left for us (the Eight Great Textbooks) and are putting up the 3 Great Scriptures in their place. Even though the Messiah himself emphasized that the Eight Great Textbooks are his final will and testament to humanity, the Federation is abandoning these, willfully and without his permission. In their place, the Federation has put forward the '3 great scriptures' (Revised Cheon Seong Gyeong, Peace Scripture, True Parents Scripture).
True Father warned us that altering even a single word of his scriptures would invite heavenly judgment. Despite this, the Federation scrapped True Father’s designated scriptures. The revised Cheon Seong Gyeong, for example, contains alterations to more than 70% of the original contents in the original Cheon Seong Gyeong.
The Federation leadership have brazenly deleted, modified, edited and added to the texts that the Messiah himself left behind for all posterity. If they needed to have alternate scriptures, then they could have left the Eight Great Textbooks intact as the legacy that Father established and then published the ‘three great scriptures’ later. Scrapping the Eight Great Textbooks that True Father designated as his final will and testament is unacceptable and inexcusable.
For this reason, you must not refine or trim them. (April 26, 2005)
(Explanation) The Cheon Seong Gyeong is Father's final testament, the words he put in preservation before going to the spirit world. Because he offered the Cheon Seong Gyeong, Page 1564 (Korean version)
There is only one person who can correct or modify (why does this say wolli Kangnon when he is referring to the CSG??) Wolli Kangnon, and that person is me (True Father). You have to move forward centering on Father's recorded speeches. If you love me, then you have to love the Eight Great Textbooks even more than I do. (November 19, 2009)
Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong Haeseol, Page 811 (Korean version)
Can you simply change the documents blessed and sealed by God and Father according to your own thinking? You have to see them as absolute. They contain the words that your descendants can love and revere for thousands of generations. (February 27, 2007)
Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong Haeseol, Page 841 (Korean version)
I do not want anyone to take my words and try to polish or refine them. If they are distorted, it will become a condition for you to be accused when you go to the other world, and you will be unable to avoid judgmentEight Great Textbooks directly to Heaven, everything is finished. Father stated clearly 11 that there was nothing more that needed to be changed.
True Father told us very clearly not to manipulate his words and texts under any circumstances. He gave us strict instructions, saying "If I said shit, then record it as 'shit', and if I said 'fist', then record it as 'fist'". Several times over, True Father read through the texts and went over all the details in his Hoon Dok sessions, sacrificing even his sleeping time. Finally, he gave it his royal kingly seal and offered those texts to heaven.
And yet, the Federation still revised the texts. Even if Father had never left instructions that his texts were to be meticulously preserved, how can it be acceptable to modify and change the Messiah's texts just according to one’s own thinking?
If you don’t believe what I’m saying here, then compare the texts in the Original Cheon Seong Gyeong with the revised Cheon Seong Gyeong. More than 70% of the text has been modified. Words, even prefixes and suffixes have been changed. Check it out. Verify it. Check to see if I am telling the truth.
True Father explained to us about the source text for the speech he gave at the 'Cosmic Assembly to Proclaim the Substantial Word of God in the Firm Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind'. He told us that the text contains True Father's lifetime story and that Cheon Il Guk itself is contained within. He treasured the binder containing this text up until the time directly before his ascension. Whenever he went somewhere, and wherever he went, he took this binder with him: to all public events (and public rallies of various sizes) and to hoon dok hwe, where he used it as his reading material.
If you look at the text from page 44 onwards, True Father clearly states that the Eight Great Textbooks are the final testament he has prepared and bequeathed to humankind, and he instructs us to read and study (hoon dok) these texts, not only on Earth but also in the spirit world. Yet, despite this fact, after True Father's ascension to the spirit world, the Eight Great Textbooks cannot be obtained from any of the official FFWPU organs (including the Cheongpa Seojeom (bookstore). That’s the current reality.
At the head office of the Family Federation, they stubbornly defend this position, saying that because these books have already been bequeathed to members, it simply doesn't matter.
3) Changing the Cheon Il Guk National Anthem
As the leadership of the Family Federation, you seem to think that you can just get rid of 'Blessing of Glory' which True Father designated as the national anthem of Cheon Il Guk and simply replace it as you like with a newly written ‘holy song’.
A national anthem is a song that expresses the core philosophy and ethos behind the founding of that nation. It is meant to awaken the spirit of true patriotic love.
In this sense, the Cheon Il Guk National Anthem should be sung by the Unification Family with solemn hearts in praise and gratitude for the suffering heart that True Father endured when walking the path of restoration. 'Blessing of Glory' is a hymn written by True Father after he overcame the suffering of the Heungnam concentration camp. It is infused with True Father's course of suffering and victory.
When we sing the Cheon Il Guk Anthem, we are able to reflect on the suffering path of restoration and focus our hearts in filial piety and loyalty towards God and True Parents. In this way, we inscribe the meaning of the song into our hearts. True Father clearly explained the reason why he chose ‘Blessing of Glory’ for the Cheon Il Guk Anthem. It’s because this song is imbued with Father's life course.
If you thought about this aspect, would you have so easily and willfully undertaken to change the Cheon Il Guk Anthem? What kind of founding spirit is expressed by the newly minted 'Cheon Il Guk Anthem'? A Cheon Il Guk Anthem that omits the heart of Heaven is meaningless.
Nonetheless, you constructed a new anthem by modifying the lyrics of the 'New Song of Inspiration' so that they now glorify the Han Mothe. Isn’t that right? You have removed True Father's restoration course of suffering and victory from the Anthem. I wonder. Did you just sing the song without heart, without reflecting on its meaning? Is this why you have concluded "anything will do?"
4) Changing the Holy Marriage vows
How is the salvation of fallen human beings accomplished? Firstly, individuals must invest themselves to live a life of faith and pass through a course of separating from Satan. In this way, he restores, in form, the position that Adam and Eve were in when they fell, namely the top of the growth stage of the growing period. On that foundation, the individual can be reborn (liquidate the original sin) by receiving the Blessing from the True Parents. After having recovered the position of Adam and Eve before the fall, the individual must attend the Messiah, the True Parent, and grow further to eventually complete the growing period and become an embodiment of perfect completion, thus moving into the direct dominion of God. Thus, complete salvation can only be achieved through a relationship with the True Parents. The original sin must be liquidated through the Blessing of the Messiah at the top of the growth stage, where Adam and Eve fell. This is the meaning of the Blessing that we all understand.
The problem is, it is extremely difficult for human beings who carry the fallen lineage to achieve the top of the growth stage. This is why, as I expect everyone will know, the Blessing that we received from True Parents was a ‘position blessing’ or ‘conditional blessing’ received under the blanket of True Parents' grace. Because we were unable to attain the spiritual standard appropriate for receiving the Blessing, we received the conditional blessing, but then it has been our responsibility to continue to grow so that we eventually fulfill the requirements of that position.
For example, even if a blessed couple falls or for some reason the blessing is broken, it can still be recovered if a different person steps in and fulfills the responsibility required. Why? Because that blessing is not given to an actual individual. Accordingly, because we were unable to achieve the completion level of the growth stage, True Parents had us offer our promise through the holy marriage vows. On that basis, they allowed us to receive the Blessing.
Thus, True Father had all the righteous men and women who participated in the Blessing ceremony first offer a promise through the four holy marriage vows and then, on the basis of that condition, gave them the Blessing.
Accordingly, True Father would deliver the four questions of the vows, and the men and women in the Blessing ceremony would loudly declare their promise by responding "Yes!" After this, True Father would offer a benediction for the holy marriages and then declare the holy marriage accomplished.
In other words, in that "Yes!" that we offered for the four different vows, True Father accepted our promises and on the basis of that condition, gave to us the grace of the Blessing. This is an important point. We need to clearly understand that True Father gave the Blessing to all of us, brides and grooms who had not yet accomplished the completion level of the growth stage, on the condition of our promises in the form of the Blessing vows. Without our making these four promises, there is no way that God and True Parents could permit us, as fallen humans, to receive the Blessing.
Sadly, after True Father ascended to the spirit world the four holy marriage vows disappeared from the Blessing ceremony. The newly substituted single vow has a similar format, but the contents are completely different. This new solitary single vow is now the required condition for the Blessing.
Take a look at the marriage vow used at the True Family holy marriage of Moon Yeon Jin and Moon Jeong Jin. Following Foundation Day, all Unification blessing ceremonies have been conducted using the changed holy marriage vow. The four vows were replaced by a single pledge: 'Do you pledge to form a true family based on absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, centering on Heavenly Parents?'
Let me ask you this: is there no difference between the holy marriage vows and the kinds of ritualistic promises made by a couple when being married by an ordinary celebrant? They are different; the holy marriage vows given at the time of the Blessing are an unchangeable promise and pledge to God and True Parents. The Blessing is to be received on the basis of the vows provided by True Father. If someone else's vows are involved, then it is not True Father's Blessing. To be a blessed family, the vows have to be the vows provided by True Father. If you give a different pledge, then you simply remain as you are, and establishing another fallen family. Is this point too hard to grasp?
Think about it! How can God bless these brides and grooms, who have not yet reached the completion level of the growth stage, if they haven’t actually given their promise to live according to God's will? Oh, they offered a promise, sure, not to God but to some other being, so how can God and True Father possibly recognize the Blessing they received? They cannot.
The Foundation Day blessing was a blessing without a relationship to God or True Father, a blessing at odds with the Principle of Creation itself. The Foundation Day blessing was the blessing of an Archangel who operated under the name 'heavenly parent'. From the viewpoint of the Principle, this blessing should never have existed. It is an unprincipled, misshapen blessing.
All families that received the Blessing after Foundation Day have taken part in a new type of blessing. They drank the 'holy wine' provided under the dominion of the being known as 'heavenly parents,' a holy wine very different from the one that True Father gave to us. Thus, the Blessing that we previously received from the Messiah, the True Parent, was erased, replaced by the blessing of the archangel, a blessing which has no connection to True Father at all.
This is truly dreadful, an absolutely appalling development. And you, you have to take this seriously and snap out of it!! Because of this situation, none of the families in the Family Federation are blessed. Regardless of whether they were blessed in the past, all these families have collapsed into a position where they have no connection with the Blessing of God, the Blessing of the True Parent. Likewise, there are no second generation in the Family Federation either.
Now do you understand why Moon Hyung Jin has been scolding Family Federation members so much? He has been calling out to you for the whole of the past year, trying to rescue the Family Federation families who, unbeknownst to themselves, all received a false blessing. He has been shouting out and calling to you with all his heart, pleading for you to return to True Father.
Do you not yet understand why he took such offense at the leaders of the Family Federation? Why he labeled them swindlers? Do you still not get it? This is why he has been making so much noise, even calling you idiots, fools, even morons? It’s in order to snap you out of it! To wake you up!
Unless Federation families pass through the 'Blessing Ceremony to Return to True Father's Authority', the archangel will never let go them go. Why? Their lineage has been changed by their participating in the archangel's ‘blessing’ wine. Moon Hyung Jin received the Blessing from True Father. He was anointed and blessed as Father’s representative body and heir. In that coronation from the King of Kings,
Moon Hyung Jin was proclaimed as True Father's successor before all of heaven and earth. But there is more to it. We also have to realize that True Father handed over to Hyung Jin Nim the authority to give the Blessing. To members of the true family, to the second generation, to first generation, to previously married couples, and even to the spirit world. For this reason, no Blessing that excludes Moon Hyung Jin can be a true Blessing.
All of you have received a false blessing. You have to receive the Blessing again from True Father's representative body. There is no blessing that Mother can give alone. The Blessing must be conferred by a couple - the heir's couple - which still stands representing Heaven.
For these reasons, only the Blessing given by Moon Hyung Jin is the true blessing. All others, each and every one, are false. Who can make the holy wine? If True Father was alive, then it would obviously be True Father. But after True Father has ascended, only his representative body and heir is qualified to make the holy wine. True holy wine contains the lineage of Heaven, but the holy wine provided by the Family Federation is a ‘holy’ wine given by the Archangel. It is not the same holy wine we received from Heaven through True Father in the past.
The holy marriage vows are not something someone just made up. We can find their meaning through the Principle of Creation. It is not simply a matter of asking "Do you pledge?" The vows themselves must comply with the Creation Principle.
Besides the marriage blessing, we all participated in a number of blessing ceremonies while True Father was still alive. These include the Cheon Il Guk Registration Blessing and the Blessing Ceremony for the Coronation of God's Kingship, etc. In each case, we were given the same holy vows. And in each case, we responded with a loud voice: "Yes!" Is it possible that these were simply ritualistic vows, that had no specific meaning? Actually, True Father is a very thorough person, and he always gave the Blessing to each blessed family on the basis of them giving him their promise and pledge.
Family Federation members who attended the post-Foundation Day blessing ceremonies can only return to the position of blessed families blessed by True Father by repenting for their false blessing ceremony and receiving the blessing once again through the "Blessing Ceremony to Return to True Father's Authority".
5) Forced donations
More than any other religion on earth, the Family Federation demands a lot of donations from its members.
Of course, it’s true that there was a huge donation providence during the time that True Father was alive. During Father’s lifetime, a truly astronomical amount of money was invested in front-line activities, making it possible for True Father to make incredible progress and accomplish great success. Whether it was in the field of politics, business, media, society, culture, the arts, education or humanitarian relief, or in projects that included scholarships, the Peace Cup, the inter-religious movement, the ecumenical movement, global peace work, exchanges between North and South Korea, the Han-Il Tunnel Project, etc – in all these areas True Father achieved things that not even 16 nations as powerful as the USA could accomplish.
However, according to the grapevine, since True Father went to the spirit world, the global providential activities once pursued by True Father have either been terminated or greatly reduced. What ongoing providential projects currently remain? On the other hand, the donation providence not only continues, but is being increased day after day. After True Father went to the spirit world, Mother Hak Ja Han proclaimed 'unceasing progress', but in truth, all but a few activities have been halted. The only thing that has progressed without halt is the donation providence.
Just a short time ago, Japanese members were told to “get the victory of 210,000 yen (approx $2000), 3 new members and 1 blessing candidate (including 1,400,000 yen donation (approx. $12,500)) per family by August 30”.
But let’s see. Are donations war? The Japanese leadership are saying that if you give all these donations, you’re being victorious! It almost makes me laugh, or cry. Members are also told to make donations in order to receive a 'Filial Piety Award'. So does this mean that if you don’t make the donations, you’re not being filial, or dutiful?
In the meantime, a variety of other donations and responsibilities are also being assigned. New donation requests come out almost every day. There’s so many, it’s actually hard to try and list them all: a mourning donation of 400,000 yen ($3,500), a donation of 120,000 yen ($1,000) for the third anniversary of True Father's passing, and so on.
On top of this, we now have this thing called 'heongeum cheongseong' (‘donation devotions’). Members have actually been asked to make special donations as ‘a condition’ so that Hyung Jin Nim will return back to Mother, and members are apparently being interviewed about this, family by family. The purpose of the interviews is no doubt to find out how much each individual family can donate. In other words, the Federation simply intends to gouge out as much cash as possible. I wonder: when they use Moon Hyung Jin as an excuse for collecting more donations, will they send the donations over to him?
In June of this year (2016), instructions were issued that 'the 4 holy items' will be bestowed, which of course means more donations. You have to admit; these people have some pretty big cajones.
According to what I’ve heard, after Father’s ascension, the Pyeonghwa Automobile venture was handed over to the North Korea regime. True Father established that project in order to promote the unification of North and South Korea. Unfortuantely, there is no real way to know what is going on behind the scenes. So despite the fact that a colossal amount of public funds were invested in the Pyeonghwa Automobile venture (all for the purpose of promoting economic cooperation to help North-South unification), our members have no way to know why the venture was abandoned and why it was handed over lock, stock and barrel to the North Korean regime. North-South unification is still very far away.
Why is it, do you think, that the poor Unificationist members – all of who have to bear such massive ‘donation responsibilities’ in the name of the Providence - are not allowed to know anything at all about the operation of public assets? Also, how are they supposed to interpret the almost daily revelations about the misuse of public assets by so many church officials?
From what I hear, many Japanese members have lost their homes because of debts they incurred from making donations. These members end up being ostracized by their relatives and living on the streets. I have heard of second gen members who only eat one meal a day, and the only reason they get that meal is because their school provides it free of charge.
Why is the Federation squeezing and squeezing and squeezing Japanese members? Do they intend to eventually squeeze out their blood, and then try squeezing them some more? What for? Is this for the sake of Providence? What kind of providence makes members into delinquent borrowers and abject beggars? Seriously, what kind of providential activities are you currently pursuing?
Then again, it was recently announced that the Federation will build the Sonhak Memorial Hall. So I guess you can do the math. The decision was made to sell off the Soo Teck Ni holy grounds. When the local members expressed their opposition, and made a local vote, the leadership ignored the result and instead kept on pushing and pushing with new rounds of votes until eventually the ‘decision was made to sell’. Is this supposed to be some kind of ‘democratic election method? Is this how you make decisions by asking the members what they think? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
And its now being said that even the New Yorker building will be handed over to non-church people. So what is this big push to sell off all Father’s holy grounds and buildings? These things should be preserved for history and posterity! And what’s the goal? To make some sort of memorial hall? What is the memorial building supposed to memorialize?
Members are being activated for the donation providence. They are mobilized in heavenly tribal messiah activities, and they hand out flyers in the streets. They recruit bachelor farmers in rural areas with the promise that if they join, they can quickly get a bride and get blessed. So how much are those blessing donations? You tell us that the cost of the Blessing is 6,000,000 won (approx. $5300). I'm told that the fee in Japan is more, about 14,000,000 won (approx. $12000). What is it that costs so much? The participants prepare their own rings, clothes, neckties, bridal veils, right? Is it the donations that make them owners of Cheon Il Guk?
Let’s be honest. They aren’t owners of Cheon Il Guk. Aren’t they really Cheon Il Guk slaves? Indentured servants? I really want to ask you. If Japanese members are mobilized for the donation providence and end up selling their houses, in what sense will they actually be 'blessed'?
Or is it better if they become enslaved by a mortgage, offer up their retirement funds, and in debt? If they 18 become defaulting borrowers, eventually kicked out in to the street? Is that all right? I’ve heard that as soon as a member makes as many donations as they can, the church steps in and mortgages the member's house and then walks off with the bank's money. If you mortgage someone's house and take the money, don't you have a responsibility to later pay both the interest and the principal and recover the mortgage? Meanwhile, church officials live in luxury and extravagance. It's outrageous.
As President, Hyung Jin Nim instructed that public assets be sold off before the Family Federation leaders gobble them up. He directed that the money be used to pay back the debts incurred by Japanese members in making their providential donations.
Yet, church members have no idea why Tongil Financial Group chairman Moon Kook Jin and Father’s successor, Moon Hyung Jin, were so suddenly expelled and moved to the United States. Hyung Jin and Kook Jin were actually putting things right in the church, and this brought them into direct conflict with many, many avaricious church leaders, leaders the brothers refused to cooperate with. This, my friend, is the reason they were expelled.
1) Three Generation Kingships
The deepest form of love exists between father and son. If there is anyone who is willing give up his own life and give all his love for another, it's a father for his son, or a son for his father. For this reason, if the two become one, then even the universe cannot pull them apart. [2009. 12. 6. Cheon Jeong Gung]
Here, True Father explains that the most profound definition of love is the father-son relationship. In these words, Father is telling us is that even the universe cannot pull True Father and his representative body Moon Hyung Jin apart. For this reason, True Father truly dwells together with Hyung Jin Nim. Sadly, the leaders of the Family Federation are trying to do something that even the universe cannot accomplish: pull apart and separate Father and Son.
True Father chose Moon Hyung Jin as the successor for the providence to follow True Father. He directly invested Moon Hyung Jin, World President at that time, as his representative body and heir. He did this by conducting three separate coronation ceremonies, each proclaiming Moon Hyung Jin his successor to all of heaven and earth.
True Father's designated successor cannot be changed simply by human whim. Even Mother does not have the authority to deny and negate this. Father’s designation is the will of the King of Kings. Moreover, on top of this designation, True Father also determined Shin Joon Nim as the third heir and established the three generations of kingship.
So why did Moon Hyung Jin have to leave the Cheon Jeong Gung? Precisely because he is the representative body and heir. Why was Moon Kook Jin Nim expelled and forced to go to the United States of America? Precisely because he was the CEO of the Tongil conglomerate group.
The leaders of the Family Federation present the argument that True Father's children all have 5% responsibility. I’m not going to deny that. However, in reality, when True Father decided on his heir, it had to be someone who had already had completed his portion of responsibility. Of all 7 of True Father's sons, Moon Hyung Jin was victorious in his portion of responsibility, and that’s why True Father bequeathed to him the Blessing, designating him as his representative body and heir.
Isn't that clear? At the coronation ceremony for the King of Kings, Hyung Jin Nim wore the mantle of True Parents and inherited the authority of the Blessing precisely because he was victorious. Federation leaders say that he had some portion of responsibility to fulfill after the Blessing was bequeathed to him, but does this make sense, logically speaking? How do you check the portion of responsibility after the coronation ceremony has been held? Does it mean that if someone is crowned, you watch and see if they fulfill their responsibility, and if they don’t you later take the crown 20 back from them?
In his speeches to officials of the Family Federation, True Father had already declared that, in every possible way, Hyung Jin Nim excelled, exceeding everyone in faith and practice. Nonetheless, many members are taken in by the crafty, sly logic of the Federation leadership. This is the Principle – a person is blessed as the heir after he has completed his portion of responsibility. But while True Father recognized Hyung Jin Nim as someone who completed his portion of responsibility, Hak Ja Han does not give him the same recognition. While True Father recognized Hyung Jin Nim, Mother is now denying him. It seems that the ruler used by Mother to measure her son is different from the one used by True Father. And yet, despite this reality, the Family Federation continues to insist that ’True Parents’ are one! They are one!"
The blessing to be the heir is given to one who has completed his responsibility. That is the Principle. Just pause and think about it. True Father was not one to conduct the providence in a slack or sloppy manner. Moon Hyun Jin, Father's third son, was unable to become the successor. In my opinion, it was probably because he could not gain the victory of his portion of responsibility.
And of course, being born as a true child doesn't mean automatically achieving perfection. The true children only obtain dominion over the creation by completing their own portion of responsibility and accomplishing individual perfection and family perfection. This is the way that the ideal of True Parents is connected to future generations, but being being born as a true child doesn’t guarantee that the providence will automatically connect through you.
In fact, the true children were continuously subject to Satan's attack because Satan has dominated the physical realm. Even Jesus himself was tested by Satan, and as True Father explained, the true children might well end up as providential sacrifices. Why? Because Satan continuously attacked and attacked in order to destroy the True Family. Regretfully, the true children were subject to the most arduous temptations and suffering. Heung Jin Nim, the second son, ascended early to the spirit world, as did Young Jin Nim and Hyo Jin Nim after him. Each of the other true children also experienced colossal trials and tests.
Nonetheless, if there are no children to connect the victories of True Parents to future generations, then the providence will be cutoff and interrupted. To our amazing great fortune, Moon Hyung Jin, the seventh son, was able to maintain his unwavering focus and ultimately claim victory in his portion of responsibility. Through tremendous levels of internal and external discipline and training, he accomplished a level of filial attendance and maturity of heart, plus unity as a couple, such that True Father could confer on him his own authority and designate him as the heir, representative body, and the center of the cosmic providential heritage.
Think about what happened in the Garden of Eden. Eve at the top of the growth stage was seduced by the temptation of the Archangel. She ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, and fell. Fallen Eve then reversed dominion over Adam, causing him to fall, so that Adam became a false 21 husband and Eve became a false wife. Together, fallen Adam and Eve became a false couple, and Cain and Abel were born into a false family. God worked to have these sons establish both a foundation of faith and a substantial foundation that would allow him to send the Messiah, but the elder brother Cain slew the younger brother Abel, and in this manner, the restoration of Adam's family failed.
The people at the Family Federation say that Moon Hyung Jin was unfilial towards Mother, but the facts do not support this assertion.
Let’s take a closer look. The nexus of the current situation is True Father. The key issue we are faced with is, do we keep his words, or abandon them? Will we preserve the teachings, processes and principles that True Father left behind, or will we desert them?
In the center of this scenario stands Moon Hyung Jin. Mother has left her original position as True Parent with True Father, and Hyung Jin Nim is denouncing the leaders of the Family Federation for improperly attending Mother.
The core question of the dispute is this: are we adhering to the intention and the directions of the Messiah? The headquarters of the Family Federation, however, have tried to shift the focus so that it centers on the issue of ‘unfilial behavior towards Mother’.
Did Moon Hyung Jin badger Mother or pester her for the King's position? Did he demand that he be given assets or wealth? Or perhaps he tried to drive Mother out of the church organization? Out of the community? Did he say that he is the one who is the Messiah?
No. The fact is, Moon Hyung Jin did none of these things. The only thing he did was to say “Do not change True Father's words, teachings, processes and principles”.
Now, he has no choice except to warn all the members of the Family Federation who fell into satanic dominion to return to the realm of True Father's authority. He has denounced the actions of the Family Federation headquarters – the ones who say that the era of True Father has finished and it is now the era of Mother. Hyung Jin Nim is telling us that True Father’s ascension to the spirit world doesn’t mean that True Father's work and activity are finished. Actually, it was after Jesus died on the cross that his spiritual activity rose in such a powerful way that the Roman Empire itself was brought to submission. This is why Hyung Jin Nim is shouting at us with all his strength: so that we do not destroy the foundation upon which the Messiah - True Father - can conduct his spiritual activities.
All these actions are clearly intended to preserve True Father's will and purpose. Don't you think that Hyung Jin Nim knew that if he just compromised a little bit with the unrighteousness at Cheon Jeong Gung, he could have preserved his position as successor in the church structure? If he had simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see what was going on, then after Mother passed to the spirit world, he would have become the most powerful person in the Unification Church? He would have been the master of Cheon Jeong Gung and the one with authority over all the Unification family and the one in control of all the Unification assets.
Nonetheless, Hyung Jin Nim chose to uphold the principle that the words, teachings, processes and order established by True Father, the King of Kings, cannot be interefered with. With a profound sense of responsibility, he fearlessly stood his ground to preserve the traditions that the Messiah, Savior and King of Kings had established, even if it meant he lost all power, riches and worldy honor. Is this what you call unfilial behavior? Not in my book. Instead, we should be recognizing it for what it truly is: the very model and essence of filial piety. Hyung Jin Nim is a truly filial son. And because of that, he is being persecuted.
After True Father's ascension, Hyung Jin Nim had no choice but to lay down all his public positions and depart for the United States. He left behind the Cheon Jeong Gung, and soon he was blocked from staying even at East Garden. Eventually, he had no where to turn except for a little, out-of-theway corner of Pennsylvania.
Have you ever truly thought about Hyung Jin Nim's situation? About how he had no choice but to go into the wilderness? Hyung Jin Nim is someone who abandoned all power and glory so that he could protect and preserve True Father. How can anyone label this course as a rebellion or as insubordination to True Parents? That’s such a slanderous accusation. Having been blessed as the representative body and heir by the Messiah, the King of Kings, Hyung Jin Nim found himself in a situation where he was the only one who could preserve and protect True Father's providence. As the most filial of filial sons, he stepped out to safeguard True Father's will and traditions, even if meant he had to abandon everything else. Please! Don’t believe all the slanderous libels being made against him. Rather, listen to him directly. Listen to his sermons!
Considering our current circumstances, will we be able to protect and preserve the teachings, organizational structures and cosmic order that True Father left behind? Will we be able to pass them down to thousands of future generations? Or will Father’s words and legacy be modified? Redacted? Changed? Will they remain only as a distorted version of Father's final work? Will they be a momentary blip on the scale of history, such that True Father becomes someone who is gradually forgotten over time?
This is the question. We are now faced with a fork in the road: will we preserve Heaven's lineage and safeguard the will of the Messiah, passing them on to future generations, or will we not. There is a reasoning, a narrative being put forward that the issue is really some sort of power struggle between mother and son, but this is the work of spin doctors. It is nothing more than a stratagem to divert attention away from the true issue.
If you at the Family Federation headquarters are right, then you should confront Moon Hyung Jin’s assertions and show how they are either right or wrong. It’s cowardly to just avoid the issue by throwing out emotionally charged statements such 'Hyung Jin is being unfilial', 'Hyung Jin is too 23 angry....' etc. It is neither just nor righteous to side-step Moon Hyung Jin’s assertions with a stony silence, all the while continuing to extort church members behind the scenes.
The essence and core of the current situation revolves around the person of True Father himself: Who tried to protect and preserve Father's life to the very end? Who tried to end Father's life for human-centered reasons? Who tried to preserve the blessing traditions that True Father left behind, and who in fact changed True Father's blessing traditions? Who tried to preserve True Father's Eight Great Textbooks, and who went ahead and modified, redacted and changed True Father's teachings? Who invested to preserve the lineage established by True Father, and who denied True Father's lineage? Who has protected and preserved the representative body and heir established by True Father, and who drove True Father's representative body and heir out and away? It’s important to drill down to the true nature of the issue.
Have you memorized the Family Pledge? Do you recite the third verse from memory? Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to perfect the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Generation Kingships and the Realm of the Royal Family, by centering on true love. Are you keeping your pledge, your promise? Are you pledging to perfect the Three Generation Kingships? Do you keep that pledge, or are you not keeping it? Is it okay to just go ahead like you have been?
If you are not keeping this promise, it means you are traitors to the Messiah, the King of Kings. If you continue in this direction, you’ll have to change the words of the Family Pledge: “Our family pledges to deny the Three Generationt Kingships and the Realm of the Royal Family.” At least that will be honest.
(Pyeonghwa Hoon Gyeong p. 16-17, God's Ideal family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful Ideal World
I)
What is the most painful han that has affected God's heart throughout all of history, ever since the fall of Adam and Eve? God’s most painful han was the loss of Heaven's lineage, the loss of the realm of brotherhood and the loss even of the realm of ownership. Lineage is more precious than life, and it is more important than love. Lineage is created through the fusion of life and love together. Lineage cannot be created without life and cannot be created without love. Love, life and lineage exist, but the fruit of these is found within lineage. The seed of true love exists within God's lineage and the body of true life is alive within God's lineage. Accordingly, when you are connected to this lineage, the ideal human envisioned by God - perfection of character - becomes possible. Moreover, the ideal family comes into being, and from there, God's homeland and ideal nation can emerge.
This is how the kingdom of the peaceful ideal world comes to be established. You need to inscribe this on your hearts: how important lineage is. You can never overemphasize the importance of lineage.
On page 21 of the October 2012 issue of 'Tongil Segye', the text of True Father's final prayer was published. However, the content of the text of True Father's final prayer that was published in the Revised Cheon Seong Gyeong (Korean version, page 1646) is different. Moreover, the video released to members at the True Father's ascension ceremony also contains doctored contents.
So you even went as far as to falsify the text of True Father's final prayer. True Father left behind many prayers, but the 'Final Prayer' is a treasure of treasures, and should be handed down eternally together with 'Crown of Glory', so why are you hiding the text of this prayer from us, when we have followed True Parents all of our lives? You have to release the full unedited text of True Father's final prayer! Why have you only released doctored content on a made-up video that doesn’t reflect the truth? What does Father’s final prayer contain, such that you would want to cover it up?
So it turns out that the leadership of the Family Federation edited the full text of True Father's final prayer. Where on earth is the original text?
This final prayer is part of True Father's last will and testament. It includes content where he puts his life in order, content that he is passing down to future generations. It is our final opportunity to listen to True Father's words. Given this preciousness, the text should be accurately preserved for future generations with each syllable, each paused breath, left intact and untouched.
Unfortunately, as things now stand, the original can no longer be found anywhere, either in video form or in recorded text. I’d like to know who it is who is so arbitrarily messing around with and reworking the text of True Father’s final prayer. What kind of heart do they have towards True Father, towards his directions and teachings? Moreover, who entrusted this person with responsibility for preserving True Father's words? For what reason?
At this point, I find it impossible to place my faith in the text in Tongil Segye or the text in the revised Cheon Seong Gyeong. Neither can I place my faith in the doctored video, either.
In the fabricated video, True Father and Hak Ja Han are shown holding hands and praying. Why was this image used? Actually, the answer is obvious. It’s because in the actual situation, they were not holding hands and praying.
The video of final prayer that you are showing us uses images from the special proclamation ceremony conducted at Cheon Hwa Gung on April 14, 2012.
So what is this all about? Why are you lying to us? Why have you covered up the final prayer given on August 13 with an image from another time?
An expert audio analysis conducted in Japan definitively shows that the recording of the final prayer has been tampered with. While it is clear that it is True Father speaking, the audio analysis shows that the video track and the audio track are totally out of synch, and the audio track has been manipulated in a number of places. This is seriously criminal behavior.
At this point, the leadership of the Family Federation has to stop playing with the members and make the entire video recording of True Father's final prayer available. Moreover, it’s only natural for members to demand this.
Or perhaps you simply think that it's unnecessary for members to know about this? But I ask you: is it unprincipled to request the facts? Does it go against the path of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience? If so, then to whom should this absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience be directed, and by who?
Absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience is something that we must offer to God and the King of Kings, right? It is not something we are supposed to offer to the leaders of the Family Federation. Should we have absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience towards someone who tells us lies? Mother herself has to offer absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience to God and True Father.
We have given our faith and attendance to True Father and, as his children, we have followed him all our lives.... Is it wrong for True Father's children to want to see the original, unedited recording of his prayer? Is this in some way an unprincipled request?
Brothers and sisters! You must wake up! The leaders for whom you so often stand up and applaud have stolen the truth about True Father from you.
They are altering, doctoring, fabricating True Father's image in pursuit of their own ends. They are not followers of True Father. They are his betrayers. Apparently unafraid of Heaven, they laugh and sing and cheer as they like here in the physical world. And you... too many of you simply follow them, being led by the nose like slaves on a chain. In the meantime, Heaven's wrath is approaching.
The expression 'True Parent' does not refer to a particular individual human being.
'True Parent' refers to a specific, original position within God's ideal of creation, and that ideal could have been completed through the True Parent. However, due to the fall of the first human ancestors, the ideal of the True Parent was not realized, and the providence of restoration was begun in order to recover and establish that position.
Unfortunately, due to human faithlessness, when Jesus came on the foundation of 4000 years of providence, he was unable to find his bride and he departed, leaving behind the promise to return once again. He was unable to accomplish the ideal of the True Parent.
After 2000 years passed, Sun Myung Moon came to Earth as the returning lord and as the True Parent. He chose the young Hak Ja Han and victoriously established the 'Marriage Supper of the Lamb', so that through the two of them, finally, for the first time in the fallen world, true children of God's lineage could be born. That marks the point that ‘True Parents’ first emerged on the Earth in all of human history.
Accordingly, it thus became possible for fallen people to receive salvation by believing in the True Parents, by being engrafted into them, and by participating in a ceremony for rebirth. This is why fallen human beings must attend the True Parents as their absolute subject. They must practice absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience towards the True Parents.
But there is more to it than this. Within True Parents themselves, there is a subject and object. The In front of True Father, True Mother is in the position of object. True Mother must practice absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience towards True Father. Because she is the True Mother, she must model that position of absolute object for all members, and to an extent greater than all members.
True Mother gave birth to 14 true children by receiving True Father's seed, which carries the lineage of God. This is Mother's first mission, and being victorious in this mission made it possible for her to rise to the position of True Parents.
Her second mission is to attend and protect the lineage of God. Although the true children are True Mother's children, from the viewpoint of lineage, they are True Father's lineage. That is clear. In other words, they were born carrying the lineage of Heaven. True Mother is the true children's mother, but from the viewpoint of lineage, her lineage is the Han lineage. This is an indisputable fact: that Hak Ja Han was in the position of True Mother, but from the viewpoint of lineage, she is not of Heaven's lineage. Putting 'True' before someone's name doesn’t determine whether or not the person is from Heaven's direct lineage. That’s why the lineage of the true children is the lineage of Heaven and is higher than True Mother's lineage.
We have to understand this point clearly.
Mother was not victorious in her second mission, to protect and uplift the two sons that True Father established as Cain and Abel. She cast out the son that True Father established as his representative body, heir and successor and, determined to become the representative body, heir and successor herself, raised herself to the position of Queen. Despite the fact that Mother was in the position where she must honor and protect True Father's lineage after he ascended to the spirit world, she actually oppressed and ignored True Father's lineage and asserted that she herself is the Messiah with the purified lineage.
In this way, she left the original position of True Mother. But the fact that Hak Ja Han left her position does not mean that the True Parents Providence itself has failed.
Why? Because Mother Hak Ja Han left the position of True Mother of her own accord, the position of True Mother is left vacant. Meanwhile, True Father completed his own mission and remains in the position of True Parent, and because True Father holds that position and stands as the absolute subject, the True Parents Providence has neither failed nor become invalid.
By denying her absolute subject and acting to raise herself to that subject position, the Han Mother, who is to be the absolute object, has taken herself out of the position of True Parent. Thus, even though Hak Ja Han left her position, the providence of True Parents has not failed.
True Father completed all aspects of his mission, but the mission of True Mother remains to be completed. True Father's words testify to this. By failing to attend True Father as her subject, Mother came to depart the position of True Parent and the path to salvation can no longer be open through her. It is a truly regrettable state of affairs.
In all the cosmos, what more glorious position is there than the position of True Mother? Externally, the expression 'True Parents' refers to True Father and True Mother, but internally, in means that the two of them are not divided but are in fact one. It means that their words, their goals, their ideal, their purpose and their direction is absolutely united.
Thus, when we spoke about True Father's teachings and providential actions, we used the honorific expression 'True Parents' based on the belief that Father and Mother were completely one and acted in complete oneness. However, in reality, on the inside, True Father's teachings and activities are the central aspect, and Mother's words and activities have never been the central focus. Every member of the Unification family knows this.
But if indeed Hak Ja Han's purpose and ideal have become separate and independent of True Father following his ascension, then the situation is even more serious. Each and every one of us believed that Mother had become completely one with True Father. We believed that Mother had followed the path of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience towards True Father and perfected 29 herself as the completed Eve. On that basis, just as we offered respect, honor and glory to the True Father, we also offered these to the True Mother who was one with him. However, after True Father's ascension to the spirit world, we see a situation where the principles, teachings and instructions that he left us are being erased step by step.
We see, before our very eyes, that True Father's will and Hak Ja Han's will are not one and the same. And if they are not one and the same, it means they are in fact separate and divided. If they are separated, sadly, then who we should follow? It goes without saying that we must follow True Father.
There can be no question about this. We don't need some sophisticated explanation about it either. This means that the people who cause chaos and confusion for the members using the name of 'True Parents', the people who promote the spin, the false propaganda that Mother is one mind, one body with Father even while she goes along a completely different path - these people are simply archangels who have betrayed True Father.
"From the very start, I came as the Messiah and the only begotten daughter." "Father's lineage is a lineage with original sin, right?" "I was born without original sin." "I am Hananim."
Hak Ja Han has said all these things publicly, and the ideal of the True Mother that we attended all those years has now drifted away like a mist in the wind. The assertions from the Family Federation that "True Parents are one" are nothing more than a sleight of hand they use to exploit True Father's status and accomplishments.
Moon Hyung Jin gave the Han Mother many opportunities to repent and return to Father. He opened up a path for her to leave the position in which she betrayed True Father and to return to the two sons who were victorious as Cain and Abel. Then he gave her a deadline.
He made all this public through his sermons, which communicate God’s will from from a deep place of spiritual exchange between Hyung Jin Nim and True Father in the realm under True Father's direct governance. These sermons were the final notice given by Father to Mother. Yet, as we all know, Mother ignored this communication.
Accordingly, on a particular day, with tears streaming from his eyes, Hyung Jin Nim offered to Heaven a ceremony that formally invested Shin Joon Nim as the prince and the next in line. Hyung Jin Nim had all his children gather on the platform at the front of the chapel and had them offer a kyeong bae bow to Shin Joon Nim. Moreover, he had Yeon Ah Nim offer kyeong bae to Shin Joon Nim as well. In that kyeong bae, Yeon Ah Nim pledged to attend Shin Joon Nim as King, even though she is the mother who gave him birth.
In this manner, Hyung Jin Nim had Yeon Ah Nim make a vow, publicly, that she would attend Shin 30 Joon Nim as king and never usurp his rightful position when he rises to the position of the 3rd king, even if Hyung Jin Nim is not alive at that time. On that day, the chapel was deeply solemn, awash in a veritable sea of tears. Everyone shed tears: Hyung Jin Nim shed tears, Yeonah Nim shed tears, the children shed tears and the members shed tears. All Sanctuary brothers and sisters who watched this were moved in their hearts.
In this manner, by Yeonah Lee accepting and taking over this responsibility, the responsibility given to True Mother has moved on from her. Hak Ja Han has descended into a position of failure, so that even if she repents and returns to God’s will, she will never be able to return to the position of the True Mother, even if she does return to her correct position as Moon Hyung Jin's mother on an individual level.
This is not the will of Moon Hyung Jin. This is the will of True Father. The mission of Eve has been passed on, and it has been passed on because the central figure who was given the responsibility failed. We know that when a central figure fails in the calling given by Heaven, Heaven does not choose that person again. Mother has quite simply become Hak Ja Han, someone who failed her responsibility.
There is no position more glorious than that of the True Mother, and yet Hak Ja Han threw it away. She threw away True Father in order to lift herself up. She left the position of True Mother, and stumbled into a place where she has no connection with True Father.
The Family Federation asserts that Mother cannot fail because True Parents were perfected. Accordingly, they assert, denying Mother is tantamount to denying True Parents and denying True Father's providence. Moreover, they say that because True Father prayed 'all is completed, all is completed' in his final prayer, when Sanctuary members deny that all is completed, they are in effect denying True Father.
The Family Federation says that Sanctuary brothers and sisters who make these claims are part of an unprincipled group and they (the Federation) condemn Hyung Jin Nim as an unfilial son and a failure who undermines True Mother’s authority and dignity. Because of this, even though Family Federation members won’t actually deny that the Family Federation is doing many problematic things, they conclude that it would not be of any help to follow a group that denies True Parents. Considering how critical all these issues are, it is important that we resolve them by zeroing in on True Father's Will and purpose.
Let's take a look at True Father's teachings.
May the fifteenth, 2010, according to the Heavenly Calendar... this day is an important day. It concerns is a secret, final declaration signed by Mother and I together at 25 minutes past 3 o’clock in the morning, before breakfast. This is something even the God of Night and the God of Day don't know about. So what is this 35 minutes past 3 o’clock thing, made before breakfast on May the fifteenth, 2010? This is the time that, centering on every thing that has happened so far, Mother and I secretly made a promise concerning Korea and the direction of things to come; it is the time when Mother promised that she would unite with me without fail and go ahead on that basis. Before this, Mother never said that she would go ahead becoming one with the Parent. She couldn't publicly proclaim that before God and the Earth and the world. This event, the one that took place at 25 minutes past three, at 25 minutes past 3 o'clock in the morning on May 15, 2010, Heavenly Calendar, is when Mother and Father promised this centering on God prior to the final end of the fallen world. "Aha. As we greet the era of the completion, conclusion and finalization of the Old Testament, New Testament and Completed Testament eras, I declare this by offering the era of the entire whole, the entire range, of the entire (complete) authority and entire ability (omnipotence) that perfects and completes the realm of final oneness between True Father and True Mother!"
(Printed in Tongil Segye 2010 July edition, July 1, 2010 (solar) 'God's ancestral homeland is Korea')
If we look at the words of Father above, Father is explaining that Mother promised, at 3:25 (3:35) am on May 15, 2010, that she would absolutely become one with True Father, and he calls this the secret ‘final declaration’ document. He is telling us that True Father and True Mother dedicated the era of the entire whole, the entire range, of the entire (complete) authority and entire ability (omnipotence) that perfects, completes the realm of final oneness on the basis of Mother promising to be aligned with Father, to proceed united with Father without fail. This is clear. However, if Mother does not keep her promise to be aligned with Father, in other words if she doesn't align herself with True Father going forward and takes the subject position herself and goes a different path, what would happen?
What would happen to True Father's offering of the Era of Full Transcendence, Full Imminence, Full Authority and Omnipotence in which the realm of final oneness with Mother has been perfectly completed and concluded?
It cannot be canceled or revoked. Even if, for some reason, Mother fails to keep her promise, True Father cannot deny something that he has offered to Heaven. What happens, however, is that Mother would fail in her portion of responsibility. In other words, the realm of the final oneness of True Parents has already been offered, but Mother is unable to stand in the position of True Parent. This is because she left the position of True Mother by her own volition after the offering had been made.
What is the meaning of 'True Parents'? True Parents refers not to fallen parents but to the unfallen true parents, the original ancestors of humankind that God intended to establish from the beginning. Thus, True Parents only appear through the true children. If no true children are born, then a person cannot become the True Parents. True children were born to the family of True Parents. Accordingly, the ideal of true parents that God envisioned for this earth in the beginning was realized in the physical world by the couple of Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han. By giving birth to original true children of a pure lineage that is free from fallen nature, this is how True Parents come into being. The members of the Unification family attended Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han as True Parents and were engrafted into their lineage. Even though we were born with fallen nature due to original sin, we were able to remove the original sin and become blessed families separated from Satan by denying our physical parents and devoting ourselves to attend Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han as True Parents, then drinking the holy wine and receiving the Blessing.
Look at True Parents' family. Sun Myung Moon, who came to earth with Heaven's lineage and accomplished the perfection of personality, took the young Hak Ja Han, whom heaven had prepared, as his bride and accomplished the holy marriage. After a severe and harsh 7-year period for the perfection of Eve, finally a true couple were established on the earth. Moreover, by giving birth to children, they became true parents.
Unfortunately, not all of the true children were able to complete perfection of character in following with True Parents will, but the 7th son, Moon Hyung Jin, preserved an absolute standard and was successful in his portion of responsibility to accomplish perfection of character, and after joining in holy marriage, was able to complete his family. Moon Hyung Jin was appointed to the position of World President by True Father. He brought new hope to the Unification family and was an 33 object of respect and faith from the Unification community. Following this, he was blessed by True Parents as the representative body and heir.
Moon Kook Jin Nim was appointed to the role of the Tongil group CEO by True Father, after which he stamped out all the dysfunctional business practices of the Unification family and perfected the foundation for financial independence. In addition, Moon Kook Jin Nim and Moon Hyung Jin Nim received True Father's blessing as the victorious Cain and Abel, thereby completely restoring the failure of Adam's family within the True Family, with the result that the lineage of the King of Kings is connected to future generations through the representative body and heir.
When True Father said 'it is all completed' in his final prayer, it does not mean that the providence was perfected and completed, but rather that the purpose of the second coming of the Messiah was fully completed because the foundation for Heaven's will to be accomplished through his lineage had been accomplished.
One thing that we have to be aware of is that even though True Parents offered the Realm of the Final Oneness of True Parents to God on May 15, 2010 on the basis of Mother's promise to Father, this was only possible because the providence that could not be accomplished through Adam's family had been achieved and perfected.
Firstly, establishment of the three kingships through three successive generations in his own lineage, through Moon Sun Myung, Moon Hyung Jin and Moon Shin Joon; Secondly, perfection of the foundation on which the Will will definitely be accomplished by establishing a victorious Cain and Abel; In this way, True Father completed the mission of the Messiah by restoring all the failures in Adam's family.
<Section from the text of True Father's final prayer>
"Today, I performed the final completion and finalization and offered this to you, my Father. Now, we are able to return to the original Garden of Eden in which no Fall has taken place, where we are now able to transcend all the circumstances where Eve was corrupted and Adam became compromised by his portion of responsibility.
With the authority of the liberation and release of all things, everything will be complete as long as someone simply follows after the parents. Everything is completed". In my view, this is the final time that True Father made a prayer of victory.
In other words, by True Parents giving birth to 14 children in their family, the lineage of Heaven has been settled on the Earth. In addition, the three kingships of Heaven's lineage has been established through Moon Hyung Jin, who received True Parents lineage and accomplished perfection of character by maintaining the absolute standard, and Shin Joon Nim, chosen as the third king by True Father.
In other words, the lineage of God has completely been settled and firmly established on the earth. Moreover, by Cain - Moon Kook Jin Nim - maintaining absolute love and obedience to Abel - Moon Hyung Jin - the two of them became the victorious Cain and Abel.
The failure of Adam's family has been completely restored. The purpose and will of True Parents was completed. In this way, True Parents were victorious.
In the Family Federation, they refer to Hak Ja Han as ‘the True Parents’. Despite the fact that True Father has ascended and moved to the spirit world, they always use the title of ‘True Parents’ for President Han, rather than referring to her as True Mother. It seems that the Family Federation wants to tacitly say to members that 'even though President Han is alone, True Father is with her. Therefore, she is True Parents'. . . I suppose that they want to say that because President Han is the True Parents, there is no difference whatsoever between the things that President Han is doing and the providence conducted by True Father before he ascended. In other words, the things that Hak Ja Han is doing are one and the same as what the True Parents are doing.
'True Parents' refers to the True Father and the True Mother, but it is different than the expression that refers to parents in general. The expression 'True Parents' includes a necessary internal order. The positions of the True Father and the True Mother are different. Within True Parents, True Father is in the position of absolute subject and True Mother is in the position of absolute object. For this reason, True Parents are only True Parents when the subject and object are absolutely one in will, ideal, purpose and direction.
When leading the actions of providential history, or when teaching, True Father often used the expression True Parents. However, in reality, the center was always True Father's activities and True Father's teachings; it was not about True Mother's activites or teachings. If, for example, True Father had used the title of True Father instead of the title of True Parents when he made proclamations, shared his words or conducted public events, no one would have batted an eyelid, and any one of us would have accepted it as wholly appropriate. In fact, all the providential works were planned by True Father, decided on by True Father, promoted and advanced by True Father, and True Father himself took responsibility for the results and for establishing the victories.
So what did Mother do? Mother was the object. She assisted her husband; she supported her subject. She listened and was obedient, and she followed him.
The problem we have today is that Hak Ja Han is standing as a separate subject in relation to her own subject. She has changed the principled trinity structure and relegated True Father to the position of object, asserting herself as the subject instead. So if True Father's teaching of Principle and Mother Hak Ja Han's teaching of Principle are different, whose teaching of Principle is the right one? Is it True Father's, or is it Hak Ja Han's? If there are two subjects within True Parents then the providence becomes ineffective.
Placing Mother Hak Ja Han in the subject position is not the Principle. Actually, it's unprincipled. The Family Federation asserts that the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary that follows Hyung Jin Nim is an unprincipled group, but if you think about it, it’s easy to recognize that the Family Federation is in fact the unprincipled group. Why? Because they are changing the Principle. 36 Actually, the position of True Mother is the most glorious position there is. It is the position where the object becomes one with the subject centering on God. There is no more glorious position than this. Why? Because the True Mother position is the place where God's ideal of creation is accomplished and fulfilled.
Nonetheless, Hak Ja Han left this position. Of her own volition, she aspired to claim a position higher than that of the True Mother position. In the presence of the King of Kings, she determined to make herself the King. She abandoned her true subject and put herself in her subject’s position, then declared herself to be the Only Begotten Daughter, to be the Messiah and to be God.
Tragically, the people of the Family Federation believe her words and have chosen to follow her anyway. So at what point did God send Hak Ja Han as the messiah? When was it? At what point did fallen human beings begin to receive salvation through Hak Ja Han?
Hak Ja Han is not the messiah. She did not reveal the Principle, nor did she lead the providence of restoration by conducting rallies or declarations, etc. She did not gather world religious leaders, global political leaders or academics to convey to them God's will. She was not persecuted by Christianity, and she did not receive opposition from her nation or the world. She did not suffer in prison 6 times for the sake of God's will, nor was she subjected to harassment or torture. She did not leave behind some 1200 volumes of speeches. The only thing she did was leave hoon dok hwe services earlier than the members, and she did not offer prayers in a public or formal position. On what foundation does the Family Federation suddenly assert that Hak Ja Han is the Messiah?
These days, the Family Federation frequently say 'True Parents are one, True Parents are united' while in fact they are creating confusion about what 'being one, being united' really means. We all learned through the Principle that there is a subject and object within each existence. In True Parents' family, the subject is True Father and True Mother is the object. 'Are one, are united' does not mean 'the subject and the object are completely the same'. It means 'the object has become absolutely one with the subject's will, the object follows the subjects will and purpose 100%'. When the object has practiced absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, that's when they 'are one’. That’s when they ‘are united.'
For example, when we say that we are one with God's will, or united with God's will, it doesn't mean that we are equal to God's will. It means that we follow God's will 100%. If you think about it, that’s easily understood. When we say 'become one with True Parents', 'become one with the Word', we aren't saying that we become the same as True Parents or the same as the Word. What we mean is that we follow True Parents absolutely and/or submit ourselves completely to God's Word.
The leaders of the Family Federation, however, say that ‘True Parents are one, and are united’ while setting up the logic that True Father and True Mother are the same person. Whether it's 37 True Father or Mother, ‘they are the same, they are equal in authority, and equal in ability and capacity’.
‘True Father is a True Parent, and Mother is a True Parent, so there is no difference between them. Whether it is something True Father did or something that True Mother did, in the end, they are all the same.’ This is what they are saying. Accordingly, it is then OK for Hak Ja Han to change what True Father established, to correct what True Father established, to abolish what True Father established, and to remake what True Father established. That's what they say. Why? Because both of them are a True Parent, that's why.... That’s the logic that the Family Federation lays out. Blatantly. In fact, it's more than blatant. Anyone can see right through it.
Saying that True Parents are one, that they are united - this does not mean that they are equal in authority or equal in capacity. We have to correctly understand what 'are united' means: it means that they are united within the realm of love, and that’s all.
But the Family Federation misleads its members to think that '(True Parents) being united' means that they are the same in terms of authority and capacity. They then use this logic to drive through their agenda of abolishing and amending the accomplishments, the rulings and the teachings that True Father established.
They use this logic so that they can dispose of True Father's actual will and purpose. In doing so, they have become rebels and betrayers. So then how do they say that ‘True Parents are one’? How can they say that they ‘are united’? For example, is ‘being one’ simply a matter of decorating the church hall with a photograph of their couple affectionately holding hands? Is raising both arms and shouting 'True Parents Ok Mansei!' with Father all that is necessary to say there is ‘oneness’, ‘unity’?
Mother is the object who has abandoned her subject, so how can you say that ‘they are one’?
They are not ‘one’. The ideal of True Mother that we have attended all our lives has already been smashed to pieces. When the leadership of the Family Federation says that ‘True Parents are united’, they are doing nothing more than trying to capitalize on True Father's accomplishments and status. Following True Father’s ascension to the spirit world, these betrayals have become worse and worse, until finally the Federation is not content with merely changing and scrapping True Father's words and traditions. At this point, they are actively denying True Father's lineage.
Hak Ja Han calls herself the 'only begotten daughter’, ‘the wife of God’ and even ‘God’ herself. In choosing a path that destroys the providence and eliminates the Messiah, she is merely building a tower of Babel that tries to make her equal to God, but actually, this only displays her ignorance and arrogance. Hak Ja Han's current actions are destroying True Father's lifelong providential foundation, and we can see with our own eyes that by doing this, she is in fact bringing destruction upon herself. 38 Even though she previously stood in the position of True Mother, it will be hard for her to withstand Heavenly Father's wrath. She has no real option but to repent and beg forgiveness from both Hananim and True Father.
True Father established his two sons, Moon Kook Jin and Moon Hyung Jin, as Cain and Abel. Moon Kook Jin Nim was able to attend, love and submit to his younger brother Moon Hyung Jin as True Father's representative body and heir, and on this foundation, True Father blessed the two of them as the victorious Cain and Abel.
Thus, True Father's providence has already been succecssful, and the lineage of Adam on the Heavenly side has been victorious. Tragically, however, Hak Ja Han denied these two sons despite their Cain and Abel victory. Instead, she drove them out into the wilderness.
After this, she stated that she would decide on the ‘successor’ through the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council. This shows here determination to deny the lineage of the Messiah embodied in the victorious Cain and Abel - forever. How can we see this as anything but a complete betrayal of God's providence? Doesn’t this show a clear intention to eternally scrap the providence of the victorious Cain and Abel?
Then on what basis do you say that Hak Ja Han is right? Someone who denies lineage like this is clearly ignorant of the Bible and even more profoundly ignorant of the Principle.
I once saw someone boasting about being a Divine Principle lecturer, saying that he had read the Cheon Seong Gyeong 100 times. Yet, how little he realizes how his own ignorance. If you don't understand the meaning of lineage, then you know nothing about the Principle.
This ‘lecturer’ failed to grasp that the history of the providence of restoration is the history of recovering the lineage. I mean, why on Earth did God wait for 2000 years before sending the Second Coming of Christ? Why didn't he just gather together church representatives like the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council and select a smart person by democratic election?
Why was it that the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is God's hope? This person I spoke to had no idea why Jesus had to come again. Jesus had to return in order to meet his bride. He had to return because he was unable to establish God's lineage on Earth the first time. And the Family Federation believes they can deny God's lineage and choose a leader through the will of the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council? How is this not a denial of Divine Principle? Are you seriously trying to say that this is not the work of Satan?
The family of True Parents is the model for blessed families. So how are we supposed to act, those of us who have believed and followed the path, those of us who determined to emulate True Parents’ family, who believed that we must become one as a couple and remove the fallen lineage, then give birth to children without original sin and form an ideal family?
If we do not become united, it means we are separated and divided. So who should we follow now?
It really goes without saying. We have to follow the lineage of True Father, the Messiah. Why? Because the purpose of the providence of restoration is to recover and establish God's lineage. The purpose of our life of faith is to follow and attend God's lineage on the earth.
The Responsibility of Hak Ja Han
The mission of the True Mother is to receive the seed of the True Father and give birth to his children, because the True Father is the one who comes with God's lineage. In addition, the True Mother attends the True Father and in obedience to him, fulfills the responsibility of the object. In this mission, Hak Ja Han clearly gained the victory.
But the True Mother also has another critical mission. That mission is to protect and uphold the lineage of the True Father, and unfortunately, this is where the problem occurs.
After True Father ascended to the spirit world, when Foundation Day was celebrated, it should have been celebrated centering on Moon Hyung Jin's couple. Moon Hyung Jin is the person who was blessed by the Messiah as his representative body and heir. He is the person who was anointed as True Father's actual successor through no less than three separate coronation ceremonies.
Mother had to put Moon Hyung Jin in the foreground. She had to help him and protect him, so that he could wear the crown. However, when Foundation Day took place, Mother pushed him aside. She expelled True Father's successor and instead she appeared before everyone wearing the crown herself. She raised herself up and made herself the central figure of Foundation Day.
On that day, she should have glorified and praised the King of Kings, but instead she proclaimed herself as the Queen and Hak Ja Han became the queen of Cheon Il Guk. She denied, then kicked out True Father's successor, the actual successor to God's lineage, and from that point on, she began to assert that the Han lineage was the lineage of purity, that she herself is the Only Begotten Daughter, that she is in fact the Messiah and even God. Tragically, then, Hak Ja Han failed in her mission to lift up and firmly establish True Father's representative body and heir, who is the successor to his lineage.
Nonetheless, unable to accept the reality of her actions, many members ask: “Sure. Maybe. But how is it possible for the True Mother to fail?”
But think about it. How did Eve, created by God, come to fall? How was it possible for an original, created human without any fallen nature, to fall? Hananim told her and Adam not to fall. Nonetheless, she herself chose that path. She left God's will and God's word of her own accord. This is because of the human portion of responsibility, something even God cannot interfere with. Through her own volition, Eve left the position of God's daughter and chose the path of the Fall. Because of an ambition to rise up and be like God, she chose the path that led to the Fall. Likewise, out of a desire to become the 'Only begotten daughter', the Messiah and God, the Han Mother cast aside God’s word and will, True Father's word and will, and stepped away from her portion of responsibility.
Brothers and sisters bring up many doubts about these facts. They respond by saying that if Mother failed, it means that True Father, who is the True Parent, also failed. But that is not so. Not at all. Her failure is not True Father's. Moreover, Mother’s failure is not the failure of True Parents. It is simply Hak Ja Han choosing to step away from the position of the victorious True Parent and refusing the place of the perfected object.
The cause of Mother's failure is that she refused to submit and surrender the lineage of Han, a fallen lineage, to the lineage of True Father, and instead sought to dominate his lineage. No matter how much someone stands in the True Mother position, from the viewpoint of lineage, she has to serve the lineage of the True Father. While Mother was complete as the True Mother, her lineage is still not the lineage of True Father. Her lineage is the Han lineage. Moreover, the lineage of the children is not Mother's lineage but is, in fact, the lineage of God. Mother failed in her mission to uplift and protect True Father's lineage, that is, the lineage of God.
Let's take a look at True Father's teachings.
"Currently, when you receive the blessing, you offer your responses to the 4 blessing vows, don't you? We are established in our positions by Heaven, but when we do not fill our responsibility, who takes responsibility for that? You take that responsibility yourself. In that way, the position is maintained and left remaining. At that time, Satan cannot invade. This is why you have to offer your pledge. At those times, all the families raise their hands and swear an oath. Mother, too, had to raise her hands and swear an oath to Father when started out. When the forty day flood had finished in Noah's time and Noah came down from the ark, if he had had his wife and his children each individually vow when they started out, then even if Ham failed, it would simply have resulted in Ham failing, and the providence of Noah's ark itself would not have collapsed.” (Guide for practical life principles in the era of Cheon Il Guk)
In the same way, as long as Mother starts out on the path of True Mother by offering a vow, if she fails in her responsibility, the responsibility for that failure goes back to her, and the providence itself does not fail.
One thing we need to remember is that the expression ‘True Parents’ does not refer to the individuals Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han themselves. Rather, 'True Parents' refers to a position established within God's ideal of creation prior to the creation itself. Adam was meant to rise to the position of True Parent, and Jesus likewise meant to rise to the position of True Parent. However, both the first Adam and the second Adam were unable to rise to the True Parent position and the 41 providences were unsuccessful.
In contrast, Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han were able to victoriously complete and offer the position of True Parents. Accordingly, even if Hak Ja Han leaves her place, the position of True Parents, which has already been completed and offered, does not disappear but remains.
Another example: after we ourselves receive the blessing, if one member of the couple fails to maintain the position of blessed family and goes his or her own way, the position of the blessed family does not disappear. If a couple receives the 6000 couple blessing and then the wife leaves the providence and divorces her husband, that 6000 couple family itself does not simply evaporate. If the husband who remains receives a re-blessing, then the person in the position of wife is merely changed, and the family itself continues to be recognized as a 6000 couple blessed family. This is how it is for Mother's position. Why? Because the blessing is a positional blessing.
True Father himself is in the position of True Parent. Currently, at this time, the position of True Mother is vacant. If Lee Yeon Ah restores Mother's mistake through indemnity, then the True Parents will have been completely victorious. But this is not to say that Lee Yeon Ah becomes the wife of True Father. Rather, it means that the position of True Parent is victoriously established. In this manner, the providence of the True Parents will be completely and perfectly completed. Likewise, the way for Cheon Il Guk to be accomplished is open.
Due to True Mother's failure, however, the world will have to pay indemnity. Because True Mother is not simply a personal, individual position but is in fact a position representing the cosmos, the failure of True Mother is a failure on the cosmic level. For this reason, there is no way to avoid world-level indemnity. Nonetheless, because Cain and Abel were united and the substantial foundation was successfully established, Cheon Il Guk will be realized without fail.
It has been reported that while True Father was still on the earth, Hak Ja Han offered a ceremony under the guidance and direction of Kim Hyo Nam in which she was married to a being referred to as 'God'. If Hak Ja Han was married to this being ‘God’ without True Father's knowledge, could that being truly be God, Hananim? The fact is, it was the Archangel, the same one who tempted human beings in an effort to raise himself to the position of God.
Following this event, Hak Ja Han reportedly began referring to herself as 'the wife of God'. Moreover, the Foundation Day conducted in 2013 was held under the authority and dominion of this being, this new 'heavenly parents'. Brothers and sisters drank the foundation day holy wine consecrated by this being, and received a new blessing. But that 'holy wine' was not holy wine sanctioned by True Father. The fact is that this blessing ceremony and holy wine were administered under the authority of a twogod system, the being referred to as the 'heavenly parents'. Tragically, as a result of this Foundation Day blessing, all the members of the Unification family separated from True Father and came once again to rest under the realm of the dominion of the Archangel. This is the unfortunate truth: that something that absolutely never ever should have happened actually happened. The blessed families 42 fell under the dominion of the fallen Archangel once again.
This is the reason that Moon Hyung Jin has been talking about the ”Blessing to return to the realm of True Father's authority". He is carrying out a providence to rescue and recover the members of the unification family who were stolen from God's side through this false holy wine. This is done by having them drink, once again, True Father's holy wine and re-receiving his blessing. And regardless of how much members of the Unification family say they believe in True Father, as long as they have drunk this false holy wine, received the false blessing and pray and bow to 'heavenly parents', any and all of them remain under the dominion of the Archangel and stand in a position of having betrayed True Father. That position is one which unavoidably will receive God’s judgment. You are free not to believe me, but the responsibility is something you cannot avoid.
If Hak Ja Han is, in fact, the Messiah and God, and if True Father's lineage is, in fact, the fallen lineage, then don't just force us to believe it; you have to explain it according to the Principle. Saying that one has to believe unconditionally because she is the perfected True Mother – this is nothing more than misconceived blind faith.
I heard that recently the Family Federation churches have been holding Only Begotten Daughter lectures. The teaching of the Only Begotten Daughter Messiah is false. You don't even need to listen to the lectures to know that it’s false. How can you know? Because it reverses the cause-effect relationship.
The 'Messianic Only Begotten Daughter' is something that Hak Ja Han began promoting directly after True Father passed to the spirit world. Once ‘President’ Hak Ja Han first declared herself as the only begotten daughter, fallen theologians stepped in and undertook the task of developing a theory to support that assertion. The conclusion was stated first, then a theory proving the conclusion was developed afterwards. This is the wrong kind of approach, plain and simple.
In other words, it’s not as if a theory or perspective was developed that led naturally to the conclusion of ‘the Messianic Only Begotten Daughter’. Instead, after the presumption of the Messianic Only Begotten Daughter was first established, these pseudo theologians were brought together to concoct a theory that could upheld or support the conclusion. The order of the process has been flipped on its head.
Why is Communist theory incorrect and false? Because first of all violent proletariat revolution is postulated and then the theory was developed in order to justify that violent revolution. In other words, the theory was developed with an objective already in mind. That's a reverse of sequence. It’s back before front. That's why it is false.
Going over and above True Father to violate the Principle – this is not acceptable behavior, even if it’s Hak Ja Han doing it.
Do not forget the Principle. The master and owner of the Principle is True Father.
9. The Meaning of 'Only Begotten Daughter'
Conversation between Mother and Moon Hyung Jin in the second half of 2012, after True Father's ascension to the spirit world
Mother, to Hyung Jin Nim: "Who do you think that I am?" "You are True Mother." "No! I am the female Messiah, I am Mother God. If you recognize this, I will pass everything on to you." When Mother said this to him, Hyung Jin Nim replied "Mother, you mustn't do this. You have to follow what True Father said" as he clasped on to Mother's legs pleading. Mother did not listen.
After that, the Han Mother elevated herself as Queen through the events of Foundation Day, and asserted that, because her family had three generations of only daughters, her family was more righteous and had progressed further in God’s will than True Father had at the time he began his course (when he received Heaven's calling at age 16). According to reports, Mother said “as God's wife, I do not need to bow before God, and my position as Only Begotten Daughter is not because I am True Father's wife, but because I am God's wife.”
Declaring herself as the only begotten daughter, she went on to proclaim herself as the woman messiah and eventually as Mother God. Finally, she declared that there is no need for her to bow before God. The Han Mother proclaimed that she would not offer any bows to God.
Who is it that recognizes God's existence but nonetheless refuses to bow before God? There is only one being in the whole world who refuses to bow before the Creator, God.
All created beings should rightly bow before the Creator. Take a look at what has happened in the Family Federation that serves and attends the Only Begotten Daughter since True Father's ascension.
The representative body and heir has been expelled, The victorious Cain and Abel have been rejected, the Eight Great Textbooks that True Father designated as his final will and testament have been set aside and in their place the 3 Great Scriptures that include quotations from Hak Ja Han have been published. Father's words have been deleted and changed, the holy marriage vows have been changed, the Family Pledge has been changed and the Cheon Il Guk Anthem has been replaced. True Father's lineage has been denied and selection of leadership is to be legislated through the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council. The three generation kingships of Father’s family have been denied, the positions of subject and object in the 4-position foundation have been reversed and the video footage of True Father's final prayer has been faked. True Father's throne has been usurped,church assets and holy grounds have been sold off, and the global providential works accomplished by True Father have been terminated, etc....
Brothers and sisters, do you think that there are no problems, just because a portrait of True Parents standing close to each other is still hung in the church hall? Are things OK like this? Has nothing changed?
Do you think that because the Realm of the Final Oneness of True Parents was completed and concluded they are eternally and forever one? It's a foolish way of thinking. Don't you understand what 'eternally one' means? It means that some things or some people are eternally undivided. It means that their will and purpose are one, forever, until the end. If they do not go all the way to the end together, then they are not one.
You say that Hak Ja Han is the perfected Eve? She is not perfected. What is perfection? Perfection means complete and without flaw. If something changes, then it's not perfection. Even if it is perfection, if something later changes, then from that point on, it's not perfection. It's a failure. Only someone who doesn't understand how our language (Korean) works can make the assertion that Hak Ja Han is perfected. It distorts the meaning.
You say she cannot fall because she is the perfected Eve? Seriously, you have got to be kidding! The wrongdoing, the problems, have become evident, backed up with all the evidence, and yet for some reason you still cannot distinguish between your own personal beliefs and the facts that have come to light? Should belief take priority over facts? Belief is nothing more than a subjective foundation directed towards as-yet unknown facts. But facts themselves are the objective, substantial reality. And reality is just one thing, not two.
The Family Federation asserts that True Father himself used the expression 'only begotten daughter'. That's true. True Father did refer to True Mother with the expression ‘only begotten daughter’, but the meaning Father gives to the expression is completely different to Hak Ja Han’s. That’s just a plain fact.
The 'only begotten daughter' spoken of by True Father refers to the person who is wedded to the only begotten son – the one who comes with Heaven's lineage - and who receives the only begotten son’s lineage to give birth to true children. In other words, the only begotten daughter is a sanctified woman who has been chosen by the Messiah. She stands in the position of bride, representing all humankind. When True Father spoke of the only begotten daughter, he was referring to True Mother standing in that position.
However, the ‘only begotten daughter’ concept being pushed by the Han Mother is 'woman messiah'. Not only that, she goes one step further. She asserts that, as a messiah superior to True Father, this OBD woman is the woman messiah longed for and waited for by God for 6000 years, and at the same time is God herself. But this assertion stands in direct opposition to True Father's teaching.
The only person who comes as God's substantial body is the True Father himself. That is, a male who comes with the lineage of Heaven. 'True Mother' refers to a vessel, the instrument which receives the lineage of Heaven to produce Heaven's children. This is why Father said that the Messiah is the bridegroom and humanity is the bride. True Father's ascension to the spirit world does not mean that all of a sudden Mother came to have the lineage of God and became the Messiah. Her lineage doesn't change. The person who inherits the mission of the Messiah is his child, who is connected directly to the Messiah's lineage.
Mother is of the Han lineage, not of the Heavenly lineage. She is someone who was chosen by True Father to represent the Earth and go through purification.
Where, then, is the foundation for Mother Hak Ja Han to be the 'Messianic Only Begotten Daughter'? Is the only begotten daughter decided by having three generations of only daughters and then having some unknown monk show up and impart a blessing? Is there any basis in the Bible or the Divine Principle to suggest that Hak Ja Han was anointed as the Messiah? What did Hak Ja Han do all those years she spent with True Father?
Who is the one who always left hoon dok hwe first? Was it the members? No, I’m afraid not. It was always Mother.. She didn’t study the Bible or the Divine Principle. She didn’t attend any of the church trainings. I personally have never seen her offer a prayer representing the congregation.
Did she pour out years of prayer life to uncover the Truth? Did she discover the Truth herself? Was she ever the object of oppression by the Satanic world like True Father was, such that she ended up in prison? Did she ever receive world-level persecution and opposition from the Satanic world? Was she ever victorious over it? I mean, I would really like to ask someone what she actually did all those years.
If you are the Messiah's wife, does that mean that you yourself are the Messiah? No. That’s a preposterous kind of logic. When a man is the President, is his wife also the President? If the husband is a CEO, does that make the wife the CEO as well? Of course, when she accompanies her husband, she receives the same treatment as her husband. But that's only because she is his wife. As the wife of the Messiah, Hak Ja Han was likewise loved and revered. Because of her husband....
But is it reasonable in any way to then say that when the Messiah passes to the spirit world, his wife should then go ahead and behave as if she were the Messiah? On top of all this, she reportedly says that she herself is God, and that God and True Father are all included and somehow contained inside the Han Mother. To be honest, it’s a joke.
Where does it say in the Wolli Kangnon that Hak Ja Han came as the only begotten daughter and the messiah? Where can we find the Principle that says that True Father's lineage is a fallen lineage and that the Han lineage is a purified, sanctified lineage?
Where does the Principle say that when Hak Ja Han marries God, she actually becomes God?
Where in the Wolli Kangnon can we find the principle that proclaims God’s (Hananim’s) title as 'Heavenly Parents'?
Where on earth in the teaching of the Trinity can we find the Principle that Adam stands in the object position and Eve stands in the subject position?
The Family Federation says that if Hyung Jin Nim simply continued to attend Mother, he would automatically become the successor, and that because he couldn't wait, he jumped ship and became unfilial to Mother. This is truly foolish reasoning.
Then what would have happened if Moon Hyung Jin did as the Family Federation leaders said he should have and simply kept his mouth shut and offered ‘absolute obedience’ to Mother, even if he didn't like the things that she was doing after True Father's ascension? Let's think about this seriously for a moment.
Mother would have become the ‘Only Begotten Daughter’, the woman messiah, God, without any opposition, right? Because Moon Hyung Jin was the World President, he naturally would have to lead the way in announcing this theory, offering unlimited glory to Mother. He would have had to educate brothers and sisters that True Father's lineage started out as a fallen lineage and that although Father was later chosen as the Messiah, Mother herself was born from a pure, unfallen lineage and that the 6000 years of the restoration providence was, in fact, the history of searching for Mother.
Moreover, he would have had to take the lead in the work of changing the Eight Great Textbooks left by True Father as his final will and testament and, by his own hand, he would have had to destroy all the traditions and practices established by True Father (Cheon Il Guk Anthem, Family Pledge, the underlying principles of the Blessing, the Holy Marriage vows, the Cheon Il Guk constitution, etc.).
And then there’s one other thing. Attending Mother, he would have had to maintain a good cooperative relationship with the church officials who surrounded her. He would have had to distribute to those officials, fully and plentifully, massive amounts of money taken from the donations and funds offered through the tears, sweat and blood of Japanese members. Why? He would have had to display a lot more ‘big-player’ power than Mother, just to keep them on his side, so that they wouldn’t start thinking about ‘other things’.
For what purpose? For what reason? Why would he have to do all this? At some point, three years later, or maybe when Mother went to the spirit world, or if she just became incapacitated with age, he would have to be ready. As long as he just shut his eyes for a while, he would have eventually emerged as ‘the Successor’, holding all the power, wielding all control over all the authority, riches and organization of the Unification family. He would have stood in front of the Unification believers as the absolute ruler.
But then, after Mother passed to the spirit world, do you think he could simply abolish Mother's theology and republish the Cheon Seong Gyeong? Republish the Eight GreatTextbooks? Could he then recover and restore the Cheon Il Guk Anthem, the Family Pledge and the qualifications for the Blessing, including the Holy Marriage vows? Could he announce that he was revising the Cheon Il 48 Guk constitution?
Brothers and sisters of the Family Federation, is this what you wanted him to do? Are you suggesting that he first betrays True Father, who went to the spirit world first, and then after Mother goes to the spirit world, he then betrays her? Is that the reason why you are condemning Hyung Jin Nim for not standing by Mother and leaving her side? Should he have simply embraced Mother's heart and mind and taken the lead in carrying out euthanasia on True Father? Mother was furious with Kook Jin Nim and Hyung Jin Nim when they opposed euthanasia for True Father. The church executives, however, supported euthanasia and when True Father was on his sickbed, they told the representative body and heir that he must euthanize Father in accordance with Mother's desire.
How do you think that Kook Jin Nim and Hyung Jin Nim should have acted at that time? If you are going to blame Moon Hyung Jin for the current struggle facing us, then you have to answer this question.
True Father never ever took a path that was not in alignment with strict dictates of the Principle. Even when faced with prison, if he had chosen to deny himself or compromise even the tiniest bit with the Satanic forces, he could have avoided that suffering path. Nonetheless, he refused absolutely to say even one word that contradicted the Principle, and because of this, he was tortured in prison. He vomited up blood and drifted back and forth across the border between life and death, but overcame in dignity and honor and was victorious over prison six times.
This is the way of the truth. This is the way where it is impossible to deny one's own mission even when faced with death, regardless of the sacrifice involved. The providence cannot be sacrificed or desecrated simply in order to extend the term of one's own life.
Moon Hyung Jin is walking the path of the representative body and heir in accordance with the proclamation of the True Parent. He went into the wilderness in order to preserve the providence and the three generations of kingship, even though it meant leaving Cheon Jeong Gung and becoming destitute. Even though it meant losing all power, money and the position of receiving glory.
The crown that he wears in the icy cold wilderness is different to the crown that worn in Cheon Jeong Gung amidst the applause of church officials and courtiers. It is a crown of thorns, worn with suffering and han (wretched, rejected heart), amidst ridicule and sneering from the world.
Do you seriously think he chose this path out of a desire to receive honor and worldly glory? Do you think he didn’t realize that wearing this crown meant he would receive crossfire and persecution from the Family Federation?
The thing is, he had no real choice. No matter how bitter the cup, even though it be a cup filled with 49 poison, he could not avoid drinking it. Why? For the sake of his own glory? No. He had to accept his path because he is responsible to preserve the will of the King of Kings. He had to accept the path of the providence. He could not avoid the path of the providence merely in order to to preserve his own well-being.
Because True Father bequeathed the Eight Great Textbooks to Hyung Jin Nim, Hyung Jin Nim has the mission to preserve and protect those words. He cannot allow the amendment, deletion or addition of even one single word. Do you think that Hyung Jin Nim would enjoy criticizing his own mother, the woman who gave birth to him? Would he feel happy about chastising her as a fallen Eve?
Do you think he does this simply because he wants to release the pent-up anger he feels? No, he has to put the path of God’s Will ahead of his personal feelings and any sense of emotional connection he feels between mother and son. That's what it means to be the representative body and heir. He has to do that even just to qualify.
When Jesus himself was confronted with his mother, Mary, who had forgotten God's will and approached him in that way, he rebuked her, saying "Woman, what have I to do with thee?"
Hyung Jin Nim actually loves his mother more than anyone else. He is the youngest son, and he always received a more generous amount of love from his mother. But now he is in a providential position; he cannot frustrate or go against providence simply because of his personal feelings. One wonders if, when you criticize him, you understand the heartistic burden he has been forced to carry.
Do you think he doesn't love Mother? No, it's because he loves her that he has to do this. Because his mother left her original position, and because he is responsible for to save her, this is why he is raising such a ruckus. This is why he is calling her back to True Father.
Since True Father ascended to the spirit world, the Family Federation has been using a new expression: 'Heavenly Parents'. When I asked them about why they were using this expression 'heavenly parents' to refer to the one and only God, they said that True Father used the expression 'heavenly parents' a long time in the past. They say that they have video footage of it, as well.
Sure. That's true. True Father himself use the expression heavenly parents on a few occasions. However, while the words 'heavenly parents' as used by True Father are externally the same as the expression used for the 'heavenly parents' attended by the Family Federation, the contents of the two expressions are completely different.
True Father did not split Hananim (God) into Father God and Mother God. The expression 'heavenly parents' as used by the Family Federation means that both a heavenly father and heavenly mother exist. In other words, there is a male god and a female god, that is, two gods.
The 'heavenly parents' that True Father speaks of does not refer to a dual-god system. Rather, it means that when True Parents go to the spirit world and attend the invisible Creator God there, they will manifest the invisible God through their visible external form, and that’s why they are the heavenly parents. God, being invisible, is also invisible in the spirit world. Father himself explained that God appears as light in the spirit world.
The Creator Hananim exists as the subject being comprised of harmonized masculine and feminine dual attributes. God is only one, one being. When manifested as substantial objects, God's dual attributes appear as visible men and women. That's how True Parents come to exist as the visible form of God.
Accordingly, True Father explained that when True Parents go to spirit world, they will be the representative bodies of God. As his external form, they will reign over Heaven and Earth and this is why he referred to them as the heavenly parents. In other words, True Parents exist as the external representative bodies that manifest the masculine and feminine attributes of the one and only God, Hananim. It doesn't mean that the creator God exists as a male God and a female God.
You cannot split Hananim up into two gods. We see that kind of logic appear in pagan religions. And when the Family Federation talk about the 'heavenly parents', they are excluding the one and only Creator God Hananim, who exists as the center of the Universe. They are saying that there is both a male God and a female God.
Personally, I think that Mother Hak Ja Han's corrupted desire to become God herself is what lies behind that claim. However, when God is excluded, Satan automatically comes to invade that place. In this sense, we can see that the Family Federation has chased out the one true God. By establishing this dual god system in his place, they have become a religion that serves a pagan god.
But let's imagine for a moment that the Creator Hananim exists as the heavenly father and heavenly mother, just as the Family Federation says. This whole idea creates a very serious problem.
If God existed as a male God and a female God, the two of them would be able to become one through loving each other. If the male God and female God were to love each other, they could achieve complete love together. Such an idea establishes the logic that God could be intoxicated by complete love all by his/herself. That love would be an eternal, unchanging absolute, unique love. In that case, why would God, who already enjoyed the perfect love, create human beings?
In the Principle it explains the motivation for the creation. It shows that God, Hanamim, created human beings as his object of love because he needed to experience love himself. No matter how omnipotent, all-knowing or perfect God is, he cannot experience love alone. Love itself is not something that can be experienced alone. Accordingly, the Principle explains, God created human beings as an object of his love. Over and over again, True Father explained to us how love is something that is experienced through one's object.
However, if God exists as a male God and a female God, as per the Family Federation logic, then there would be no need for God to go ahead and create humanity because God could already experience the perfect love by him/herself. Moreover, there would be no need for God to go to such pains to rescue fallen humankind. It would be possible for God to not love humankind at all. There would be no need for God to become one with humankind in love.
Hananim is the one and only God, and is a masculine subjective being. Humanity is God's object. In the beginning, God created human beings from the heart of experiencing love. In the Bible, it explains that the Lord is love and that you are his Bride. This is why the Messiah comes as a male. There is no such thing as a female messiah.
A female messiah can probably be found in Hollywood movies. They don't know the Bible and they don't know the Principle, so even though it is a lie, they think "Maybe? Possibly?" In ancient times, the Israelites who followed Moses into the wilderness also separated themselves from God and worshiped the golden calf. They fell in the wilderness and became food for the vultures. Not knowing is not an excuse.
In Sanctuary, we say that True Father is the True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. True Father is the one who comes as the absolute subject of True Parents. Accordingly, an absolute subject can choose his object. Accordingly, when we say 'True Parents', we say it in the context that True Father is the center.
Moreover, when we talk about the ‘object role’ as a part of True Parents, we are talking about the role of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. When True Father was conducting the providence, the reality is that he did not consult with True Mother, nor did he seek her cooperation. All things were decided by and carried out by True Father himself in accordance with God's will. True Mother's task and role was simply to follow True Father by practicing absolute obedience. Accordingly, even by himself, True Father stands as the True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.
In the ‘True Parent’s Declaration’ as well, he signed as Sun Myung Moon (seal). Mother's signature was not required. By True Father's single signature, everything was complete.
1) The claims of President Han following True Father's ascension
October 27, 2014
There is no one who educated me. The only begotten son and the only begotten daughter are equal. No one can say that the only begotten son educated the only begotten daughter.
September 12, 2014 Mother Hak Ja Han's claims directly following the holy marriage ceremony of Moon Yeon Jin Nim and Moon Jeong Jin Nim
"I don't know if you have heard this or not, but I am someone who grew up in the realm protected by the heavenly parents. I was separate from fallen human beings from the time I was in my mother's womb. You need to know that, all of you. That’s why, even if no one teaches me anything about Principle, I myself know which way I should go. I felt this powerful sense of compulsion that through me and only through me the heavenly parents would be liberated and humankind would be liberated."
"This (removing the fallen lineage) cannot be done by just anybody. No one can do it except the only begotten daughter. The one confirmed as the only begotten daughter... When Jesus appeared to Father and asked Father to take on the mission he could not fulfill, that is when Father's lineage was switched. Do you understand? The start and the end of Heaven's work is the same. There can only be one only begotten son, right? One, only one. But then, there's no only begotten daughter, is there? That's why, it has to be me; it cannot be anyone else. No one can do this apart from me. You need to know this, all of you. You all received the Blessing, didn't you?"
Analysis: I (the only begotten daughter) was separate from fallen humankind from my mother's womb. That is, my lineage was changed within the womb. Change of lineage can only be accomplished by the only begotten daughter. Only the only begotten daughter can give salvation. The statement that True Father was switched - that his lineage was changed - after he met Jesus, means that up until before he met Jesus, True Father's lineage was a fallen lineage. This is a denial that True Father is the Messiah, that she herself is the messianic Only Begotten Daughter, and that only through her can salvation be given.
After that date, Hak Ja Han continued to says things that contradict True Father's words.
"I am also a Messiah."
"Father's lineage is a lineage with original sin."
"I was born without original sin."
"I am the only begotten daughter."
"I am Hananim."
After this, the Han Mother’s attitude and demeanor changed even more. She began to ignore True Father and even brazenly take steps to sweep him away. She took down True Father's portrait from public locations, started sitting in True Father's chair, and even now has removed True Father's chair altogether. This is tantamount to an out-and-out declaration that she has separated from Father, that she now has nothing to do with True Father. It shows clearly that all yearning, longing and respect for Father has cleanly been erased.
(1) At the start of the 1990s
Selected Speeches Vol. 233, p87 (Korean version), July 30, 1992
Mother is the holy spirit. Anyone who betrays the holy spirit cannot be forgiven. There is no way for that person to be reborn. Even if Heaven wants to forgive, there is no 'seed money', no foundation to start from. Mother is the one who brings resurrection to life. She gives rebirth and blesses.
Selected Speeches Vol. 250, p340 (Korean version), July 30, 1992, Jeju International Training Centre
If I were to die, what would happen? Mother would carry out the will. She's the mother, right? Even if I go to the spirit world, as long as Mother is in the physical world, a realm of unification embracing both the spirit world and physical world is created, so I would be able to come to the earth where Mother is and live there together anytime.
Selected Speeches Vol. 258, p138 (Korean version), March 17, 1994
In South Korea or in the United States, people are worried, saying 'Reverend Moon is an 80-year old grandpa, so who is going to his successor, the 2nd spiritual leader? If he doesn't get ready, the Unification Church will collapse and disappear.' I'm saying now, don't worry about such things. I am carefully preparing Mother so that she can be a woman who can easily take on the role of 2nd spiritual leader.
At that time, Father's children (Kook Jin, Hyung Jin Nim) were still quite young, and in those days, Hak Ja Han was maintaining her position as an absolute object to Father. However, as the latter half of the 1990s approached, True Father began to worry about Hak Ja Han's short-comings and difficulties, and warned her about maintaining her absolute love, absolute faith and absolute obedience.
(2) In the latter half of the 1990's
True Father sometimes reproached Hak Ja Han and often warned her, saying that she had to fulfill her responsibility. He also stated that if she failed her responsibility, she too could be replaced.
Selected Speeches Vol. 312, p177 (Korean version), October 15, 1999: 'The Providence through Blessing' (Uruguay) Mother, too, has to have absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. That doesn't mean absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience towards Father centering on herself. Until that time, Mother absolutely has to follow in order to accomplish the Will. .... That's why if Mother, who we have here, thinks about things in her own way and starts building her own nest, it's a really big problem. But I myself won't get caught on such problems. If it's feelings, I rise above them and go over the problem. I rebuild the mountain. Now that we have entered into the completion era, if Mother does not fulfill her responsibility, I have plenty of successors lined up who can take her place.
(Explanation) Here, Father is explaining that if Mother doesn't follow True Father but instead goes her own way based on her own thinking, then Father can replace her and set up a new Mother in her place.
Selected Speeches Vol. 456, p465 (Korean version), November 11, 2000: 'Key ceremonies and proclamations of the Family Federation era'
Father and son are connected by a direct link. The mother is not required here. The era of mother-son cooperation and the era of father-son cooperation are different. Absolute obedience is required. What I'm saying here is directed to Mother.
Selected Speeches Vol. 393, p318 (Korean version), October 8, 2002: 'Rally for Determination and the Path of Completing the 8 Stages'
Mother, too, doesn't know this. If Mother knows this, can she restore it? She has to learn this from Father. Mother has to practice absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. These days, Mother is being welcomed all around the world, wherever she goes, but she must not forget True Father. The more she does, then if I say 'I will rise to the highest position and I will establish Mother in the highest place', then Mother has to go down to the very bottom of hell. Do you see? (Yes.) (Explanation) Here, True Father is saying that Mother does not understand how the providence of restoration works. That is why he is saying that Mother has to absolutely follow True Father. He is saying that if she doesn't do that, and instead tries to lift herself up, she will drop down into the bottom of hell.
After True Father's seonghwa, Hak Ja Han stated that she knew everything from the start and didn't need to learn anything. She said that she didn't learn anything from True Father. Hak Ja Han's claims and True Father's words are diametrically opposed. This means that one of them is lying. This is why True Father said that Mother would have to go down to the bottom of hell. These words by Father are seem incomprehensible to most of you, but True Father clearly stated that if Mother was unable to become an absolute object, she would end up going to hell. It is not because of a lack of filial value that Moon Hyung Jin says things reproaching and chastising his mother. These are actually True Father's words.
Selected Speeches Vol. 607, p11-12 (Korean version), January 24, 2009: 'How to be proficient in the ways of the Heavenly Kingdom of Natural Law'
For that reason, I do not own anything. I don't have anything, not even a single coin in my wallet. I entrusted everything to Mother, but Mother is tightly gripping on to it and thinking about how to use it according to her own whims (as she wants). She is doing things as she likes, going her own way. "You go the way you want, and I'll go the way I want." That's what she's saying. You cannot imagine how deadly serious I was this morning. In that black, black world without any sun, before the sun came up, I set out at dawn, determined, just as if electric lights were shining on a sandy beach. I'm going to bring about a massive revolution today, this day, that's what I'm telling you. I'm telling Mother, alright then, go ahead and ignore what I say. I’m washing my hands of it.
(Explanation) True Father here is expressing his worry and concern about Mother going in a direction opposite to the will of True Father. He is laying bare his miserable situation and the heart behind it.
March 6, 2000, Hannam Dong International Training Center
In the final days, the mother is the nexus of the problem. Because the mother fell, she is lost. That's why we are now entering the father-son era. The son can call the mother over and establish her, or the father can call the mother over and establish her. As of the present time, this still has not been restored. The son wasn't able to accomplish this with the mother, and the father wasn't able to accomplish this with the mother, and so at this time, we have to resolve this and escape the problem centering on fallen Eve. The era of mother-son cooperation has passed and now we are come to these times... In the era of mother-son cooperation, there has never been a nation. If we want to establish a nation, we must enter into the era of father-son cooperation.
If you look at the mother, her lineage is different. What remains of the lineage is the father-son relationship. Do you understand? Do you see? (Yes.) The mother is the field, the field. As long as there is some field to plant it in, the seed can bear as much fruit as it wants. That’s why lineage is connected through the father-son relationship. The lineage was twisted and became wrong because of the fall. That fallen lineage is what must be negated. The era of mother-son cooperation that centered on the mother until now must now transition into the era of father-son cooperation. As a result of that transition, once the orthodox standard of the heavenly nation, the individual standard, the family standard, the clan, ethnic group and national standards are established, then everything will be completed. This is now that time. And in this time, there is no such thing as your own ownership, or your own anything. Prior to establishing the father-son relationship, there is no such thing as ownership. What do you own?
You have to deny all the ownership that formed the fallen satanic realm through the mother in 57 each of the fallen eras. For this reason, even if Mother is not here, I can always find and recover another mother. Do you understand what I am saying?
If the mother fails in her responsibility, as long as the son and the father are one, together, then there are plenty of mothers waiting in line, as many as they need. As long as Adam exists, then the mother Eve can be created, right? As long as Adam's son maintains the pure unfallen lineage, then the women can be recreated, however many is necessary. They can be recovered, and established, without any limit.
(Explanation) Father is telling us that in the final time, the mother will fall. He is explaining that as long as True Father and his son become one, then if Mother makes a mistake, they can chastise and scold her, and if she fails in her responsibility, a new mother can be found, recovered and established.
Selected Speeches Vol. 613, p178 (Korean version)
What is the path that Mother must go? Mother cannot simply say "You go your way and I will go mine." She can't. Mother is in a position where she has to grab hold and tightly hold onto the tailcoats of her sons and daughters. She has to tightly hold on to Father. (Explanation) The path for Mother to go is the path of following True Father and his son. Father is explaining that she has to follow the lineage.
Selected Speeches Vol. 613, p50 (Korean version)
Who can give forgiveness to the people that drive nails into me, the people who have hurt and wound my heart? Even Mother I cannot forgive for that. I cannot take that kind of Mother with me into Heaven, and I cannot take those kinds of sons and daughters into Heaven. What are they hesitating for? When I began my mission, it was already decided whether 6.5 billion human beings, in fact hundreds of billions of human beings, would listen to me or not.
(Explanation) Here, True Father is explaining that if someone betrays his will and purpose, then they have no relationship with True Father, even if that someone is True Mother or the true children.
Selected Speeches Vol. 613, p149 (Korean version), June 5, 2009
'The Path True Parents must go and the Organizational Structure that will Save History' My family is a very, very complex family. My family has no place it can stand. I have to cover over all of those flaws and lay the foundation stone in the ancestral ground in such a way that the father seed (sperm) of love and absolute sex of the cosmic Sabbath is fimly settled and established, but I could not lay this foundation stone yet ..... If Mother does not secure her position before the date of January 13, 2013 passes, the problem will be massive. For this reason, I have released Mother from her tasks. I have asked her to stop fasting, too.
(Explanation) What does it mean when Father says that Mother must secure her position? It refers to 58 maintaining her position, that is, the position of absolute object, until the very end. What else can this mean except that she must absolutely maintain and keep the words, declarations and will of True Father, who is both the Messiah and the King of Kings?
Selected Speeches Vol. 614, pp95-96 (Korean version), July 13, 2009
You have to realize that there are not many members who know that the era of father-son cooperation has been declared. The providence is going in reverse, retreating into the era of the realm of motherhood. I have to make mother all over again. I have to make her again, I'm telling you! I've been raising her until now, up until I am 90 years of age. There is now 3% of the way left to go.
(Explanation) Father is explaining that Mother is not perfect and that she still has responsibility to fulfill.
Selected Speeches Vol. 461, p26 (Korean version), July 19, 2004
'Completion of the Family Pledge and Life of Attending the True Parent'
All of you, do you think that when Mother was born, she was born already as a princess, or that she was born already as the wife of the returning Lord? Let me tell you how it is. Mother was born with a fallen lineage, within the fallen bloodline. And if you ask ‘did she became a woman of great capacity, like a spring water that softly bubbles out from the crevice between the rocks in the midst of a garden filled with filthy dishwater, well, that’s a hard question to answer.
(Explanation) True Father states very clearly that True Mother came from a fallen lineage.
Printed in Tongil Segye 2010, July edition, July 1, 2010 (solar) 'God's ancestral homeland is Korea' (Yeosu)
May the fifteenth, 2010, according to the Heavenly Calendar... this day is an important day. It concerns a secret, final declaration signed by Mother and I together at 25 minutes past 3 o’clock in the morning, before breakfast. This is something even the God of Night and the God of Day don't know about. So what is this 35 minutes past 3 o’clock thing, made before breakfast on May the fifteenth, 2010? This is the time that, centering on every thing that has happened so far, Mother and I secretly made a promise concerning Korea and the direction of things to come; it is the time when Mother promised that she would unite with me without fail and go ahead on that basis. Before this, Mother never said that she would go ahead becoming one with the Parent. She couldn't publicly proclaim that before God and the Earth and the world.
This event, the one that took place at 25 minutes past three, at 25 minutes past 3 o'clock in the morning on May 15, 2010, Heavenly Calendar, is when Mother and Father promised this centering on God prior to the final end of the fallen world. "Aha. As we greet the era of the completion, conclusion and finalization of the old testament, new testament and completed testament eras, I declare this by 59 offering the era of the entire whole, the entire range, of the entire (complete) authority and entire ability (omnipotence) that perfects and completes the realm of final oneness between True Father and True Mother!"
(Explanation) These are very significant words from Father. Father is explaining that Mother promised, at 3:25 (3:35) am on May 15, 2010, that she would absolutely become one with True Father, and he calls this the ‘secret final declaration’ statement. He is telling us that it was on the basis of Mother's promise to be aligned with Father, and to proceed united with Father, that he could offer the Era of Full Transcendence, Full Imminence, Full Authority and Omnipotence in which the Realm of Final Oneness between True Father and True Mother is perfectly completed and concluded. This is clear.
If, however, Mother does not keep her promise, in other words if she doesn't align herself with True Father going forward and instead takes the subject position herself and goes a different path, what would happen? What would happen to True Father's offering of the Era of Full Transcendence, Full Imminence, Full Authority and Omnipotence that completes and concludes the realm of final oneness with Mother? That which is offered to God in the name of the True Parents cannot fail. However, Mother, who abandoned that promise, would automatically have to leave that position.
Printed in Tongil Segye, October 2010 edition, September 3, 2010 'Meaning of the words of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind making the Proclamation of the True Parent's Substantial Word' (Cheon Jeong Gung)
During my entire life, I have been directly subject to all sorts of contempt and disdain and suffered it patiently, holding myself in place, but I do not have enough strength to last until 2013. As Chairman Moon, there is no path open to me in which I can go down underneath. Even if I wanted to, there is no path for me to turn around and go in the opposite direction, so I had to depart (start out) making a proclamation ceremony (NB: the Proclamation of Final Oneness made with Mother) that I had no choice but to depart from the path that I must go.
At this time, too, Hyung Jin is holding tightly on to his parent. Even if I tell him to let go of my hand, he holds tightly onto my hand and says "Aigo! Abba! Don't tell me to let go of your hand when I grab onto it. If I let go of this hand, I will die.”it's all over for me." That's what he says, and that's the right way. I grab tightly on to his hand. "Hold on to me, and let's go!" That's what I tell him. We have to pass over 50 different hills. That's it, he's really humble. He doesn't try to put himself up, no matter where he goes.
So what is this 'Moon True Family that opens up Heaven', and 'The owner of lineage is the owner of peace'? It's the family, isn't it? Whose family is it then? The parents' family! On the foundation of the realm of Final Oneness in which Mother and I completely became one, under the declaration that (she) would sumbit herself, under that declaration everything now begins.... 60 You too, when all of you are sitting down, you need to grab on to me and stand up. That's true for Mother, too. I am holding tight to help Mother by not letting go of her. She has to hold on tight to me. I'm telling her to hold on tight to me. I will not fall or stumble. If she holds on to me and believes in me until the end, then we can go together. The instant, the moment when that matter is decided, is the historical moment of destiny when everything will be decided, and this is the day of proclamation that God too has been waiting for. I proclaimed that day this morning.
(Explanation) (1) True Father is already explaining that, tragically, he would ascend to the spirit world before Foundation Day. He is explaining that he cannot last until 2013. He is explaining that he made the proclamation ceremony (the proclamation of True Parents). That is why he proclaimed the Final Oneness on the basis of Mother's promise. Mother had the responsibility to remain as True Father's absolute object until the very end. Accordingly, True Father is not responsible. Mother's responsibility remained to be fulfilled.
(2) True Father is explaining that he and Hyung Jin Nim would become one.
He would be grabbing Hyung Jin Nim's hand and holding on to it. It is a promise that he would take charge and be the subject. He told Hyung Jin Nim to hold on to True Father until the very end. He said that Hyung Jin Nim resembled True Father.
(3) True Father emphasized this once again: that everything would begin on the foundation of the Realm of Final Oneness wherein Mother fulfills complete oneness with True Father. In other words, Mother would have to keep her promise with True Father without fail. He is explaining that Mother has to believe in True Father and hold tightly on to True Father until the very end. Why would he say such things? To my mind, he only said these things because there was some potential for Mother to not hold on to him and to leave him. What would happen if she failed to keep the proclamation that she would obey and unite with him? - They could not become one. If you look at what Moon Hyung Jin has been saying in the United States, he is warning Mother not to leave True Father.
Printed in Tongil Segye, December 2011 edition, p. 5. October 10, 2011 (Heavenly Calendar) 'Day of Blessing, Day of Glory'
At that time, in particular Heavenly Father - before the God of Night and the God of Day are married, Chairman Moon has to have the third Marriage Ceremony of the True Parent. We couldn't yet have the marriage ceremony of the True Parent.
D-Day is the day when the third marriage ceremony for the True Parent takes place. The first one, the second one - we did up until the second one, and the third one is the final one. Because the king Hananim becomes the True Parent at that time, the God of Night and the God of Day.... From the perspective of standing independently and alone, the day of blessing which allows God to reign over all heaven and earth, that day is the D-Day which follows, the day of the wedding ceremony conducted in the name of the True Parent.
(Explanation) True Father is explaining that the third and final wedding of the True Parent remains to be completed. He said that the marriage ceremony of the True Parent had not been accomplished. That event would be the completion event that brings everything to accomplishment, wouldn't it? And if you flip that over, it means that completion/perfection has not yet taken place. On Foundation Day, did any such third marriage ceremony of True Parents take place? No, it didn't. The only thing that took place was the ascendancy of Chairwoman Han to the throne as Queen.
Selected Speeches Vol. 38, pp. 257-258 (Korean version), Speech at the Ui Jeong Bu District Tour Rally, 'The Path of Human Life' Of all religions, which form of religion is the highest? Which one is better: a religion that calls God 'Lord' or a religion that calls God 'Father'? (A religion that calls God 'Father' is better.) There are many religions in the world, but we have to search for a religion that calls God 'Father' instead of one that calls God 'Lord'.
The question then is, of all the spiritual leaders in the world, is there anyone who is calling out to the world saying 'I am God's son. And of all God's sons, I am the only begotten son.' If there are lots of different sons, then that's not very desirable. But if there is one spiritual leader who asserts 'I am the one standing before God alone. There is no need for any only begotten daughter. I am the only begotten son, and I am the one who exclusively possesses all the love of God', then that spiritual leader would be the king of spiritual leaders.
(Explanation) True Father here is explaining that before God, there is only the only begotten son. He is saying that the only begotten son is the one who exclusively possess all of God's love. He is also saying that an only begotten daughter is unnecessary.
True Father did use the expression 'only begotten daughter' on some occasions, but when he did, it was in a sense that is completely different to the only begotten daughter theology now being pushed by the leadership of the Family Federation.
The only begotten daughter that True Father refers to is the daughter who has the responsibility and role to give birth to sinless children by receiving the sperm of the only begotten son, who comes as the instrument and representative of Heaven. This shows clearly that the the person who fulfills the position of True Mother – the one who must receive the Messiah's lineage – must pass through a process of purification and sanctification, but in the end, the only lineage without original sin is the lineage of the Messiah, the True Father. The ‘only begotten daughter’ currently being preached by the Han Mother is an only begotten daughter who is the central figure of the providence and who has a position that is higher than the only begotten son. In other words, she is a female Messiah. This only begotten daughter clouds up and obscures the subject position of the True Father. This concept of the OBD contravenes the Principle. It is not the ‘only begotten daughter’ recognized by True Father. Mother is clearly someone from a fallen lineage who was chosen to pass through a severe and stringent purification process.
Accordingly, Mother Hak Ja Han’s position is one where she has to lift up and fully embrace the lineage of True Father. The actions of Mother Han - denying True Father's lineage, saying it is a lineage of original sin; promoting the Han lineage, asserting that the Han lineage is the actual purified lineage; negating True Father's lineage by chasing out his son and heir - these acts stand in direct opposition to True Father's will. They are acts that destroy the work of Principle.
March 6, 2000, True Father's Words recorded at the Hannam Dong International Training Center
"In the final days, the mother is the nexus of the problem. Because the mother fell, she is lost. That's why we are now entering the father-son era. The son can call the mother over and establish her, or the father can call the mother over and establish her. As of the present time, this still has not been restored. The son wasn't able to accomplish this with the mother, and the father wasn't able to accomplish this with the mother, and so at this time, we have to resolve this and escape the problem centering on fallen Eve. The era of mother-son cooperation has passed and now we are come to these times... In the era of mother-son cooperation, there has never been a nation. If we want to establish a nation, we must enter into the era of father-son cooperation.
If you look at the mother, her lineage is different. What remains of the lineage is the father-son relationship. Do you understand? Do you see? (Yes.) The mother is the field, the field. As long as there is some field to plant it in, the seed can bear as much fruit as it wants. That’s why lineage is connected through the father-son relationship.
The lineage was twisted and became wrong because of the fall. That fallen lineage is what must be negated. The era of mother-son cooperation that centered on the mother until now must now transition into the era of father-son cooperation. As a result of that transition, once the orthodox standard of the heavenly nation, the individual standard, the family standard, the clan, ethnic group and national standards are established, then everything will be completed....
For this reason, even if Mother is not here, I can always find and recover another mother. Do you understand what I am saying?
If the mother fails in her responsibility, as long as the son and the father are one, together, then there are plenty of mothers waiting in line, as many as they need. As long as Adam exists, then the mother Eve can be created, right? As long as Adam's son maintains the pure unfallen lineage, then the women can be recreated, however many is necessary. They can be recovered, and established, without any limit.. Do you understand what I'm saying, Kwak Cheong Hwan? (Yes.)”
(Explanation) True Father referred to Mother as fallen Eve. He explains here that in the final time, either the father or the son can give instructions and commands to the mother. These are words that 63 the people of the Family Federation have completely failed to grasp and understand. So what will you do? Will you continue to deny Father's words?
Father warned us that in the final stage, Mother herself may become the problem. He is explaining that if Mother fails, he will create a new mother. Each of us needs to clearly understand what he is saying.
True Father is explaining that as long as Adam's son does not fall and maintains the pure lineage, the mother herself is unimportant. Father is explaining everything, as if he could look forward and clearly see the circumstances in which we currently find ourselves. Brothers and sisters of the Family Federation, you can no longer make excuses.
Thinking of Foundation Day, True Father gave a strong warning to Mother on January 19, 2012. "Mother is going along a path with a destination different to Father's. When Mother does not listen to me and instead says 'Listen and obey my words', she becomes a being more fearful than Lucifer. Anyone who follows this kind of Mother is a goblin, a demon." This is what True Father said. After saying this, Father then conducted a ceremony in which he had Mother stand before him and lined up 4 individuals behind her - Seok Jun Ho, Yoon Jeong No, Hwang Seon Jo, and Kim Hyo Yuel - and then had all of them pledge absolute obedience to Father.
(Explanation) True Father told Mother that she could potentially become a being more fearful than Lucifer. So who is Lucifer? Lucifer is the one who became Satan, who caused the fall of the first human ancestors and brought Heaven's providence to ruin. How could True Father say such serious and severe words to Mother? Adam and Eve committed the fall in the pre-perfection stage, but if Mother falls from her position, she could possibly bring ruin to the providence of the True Parent. This is why his words are so severe. Isn't that exactly what he means when he says that she would become a bigger problem than Lucifer?
12. True Father's words regarding his successor True Parents' Proclamation (April 23, 2010 Heavenly Calender)
The headquarters of cosmic peace is also the one unique headquarters. Its representative body and heir is Moon Hyung Jin. Any other person is a heretic and destroyer. The contents written here are a proclamation of the True Parent(s). Sun Myung Moon (seal)
(Explanation) As the King of Kings, True Father clearly states that his representative body and heir is Moon Hyung Jin and that any person denying this and putting themselves in this position is a heretic and destroyer. He established Moon Hyung Jin as his successor.
Selected Speeches Vol. 496, p 37 (Korean version), May 13, 2005.
'Hyung Jin Nim, the son on who our hopes are hung' Hannam Dong International Training Center
Because I was unable to love my sons and daughters, I am now giving love to my grandchildren. This is my youngest son. There is only one child left. Apart from Hyung Jin, none of my children are left. All the rest are in a position where they can be caught on their violations of Principle. With Hyung Jin, his mother in law went (to the spirit world) early. Even confronted with circumstances where there was no mother, there was no mother. Currently, the mother isn't in position where she can fulfill her responsibility in the Unification Church so as a result, there are heaps and heaps of things he himself has to do.
He was enrolled in the history department at Harvard Graduate School, but then gave it up. Now, if he wants to complete a PhD degree, it would take a long time, 8 years, a long time, 7 years, more than 5 years. I told him not to pursue a doctorate. If he wanted to complete a doctorate, it would be 5 years from now, 5 years. I had told him to finish it up 8 years ago. In the 3rd era, I gave him a command. I told him that he must learn everything there is to know about religion, then from the very top grab hold of everything and turn it upside down.
Kwak Jeong Hwan! (Yes.) 어느 누구 아들한테 못 했더라도 그런 명령을 할 수 있는 사람을 길러 가고 있다는 것을 알아야 돼. (Yes.) Do you get it? (Yes.) All the kids in the middle have flaws in them. They have flaws, cracks. Even I myself was divorced, right? So I have flaws too, don't I? Seong Jin also has flaws, doesn't he? Hyo Jin also has flaws, and Heung Jin with to the spirit world, and Hyun Jin too, he also has flaws. He just does whatever he wants, doesn't he, according to his own thinking? Is that true, or not true? Kook Jin too, he did what he wanted, also.
But the son who didn't just do as he wanted... These days, when I am giving a speech, when he experiences spiritual phenomena, Hyung Jin-i comes jumping out to me before anyone else and grabs hold of me and embraces me, and sacrificing himself for me, keep his eye on me until I've finished my speech. As he was growing up, Hyung Jin-i is the one wanted to crawl into bed under the covers where mom and dad were sleeping.
In circumstances when I cannot believe in any of my sons and daughters, nonetheless he stands as the son that gives me hope. On top of that, in all things, he is fastest with regards to spirit world matters. He's met with Heung Jin, he's met with Yeong Jin, etc. When he calls them, they come, and he discusses matters with them. 어릴 때부터 자기 하버드 선생이 자기를 관리했는데, 잘못하는 날에는 틀림없이 주일 될 때에 오게 된다면 문 닫아 버리고 못 들어가게 해요. He's bright spiritually. 뭘 잘못했다면 반드시 ‘너 이 자식, 이렇게 잘못했는데 어디 여기 들어오느냐?’고 아는 거예요.
Father's sons and daughters have a different seed. Yeong Jin-i too, he went to the spirit world because of that woman. That blasted Kanna, she mislead everyone about right and wrong, even going to the spirit world in Cheong Pyeong and tricking them, so I was in a position where I could not do anything but completely place my faith in her, but for Yeong Jin-i, this was the reality and it became a problem. 'What on earth does 'right' mean for you?' and then Heaven's sharp command came down and I divided them, but Yeong Jin-i was tormented internally and he went. Unbelievable! Who taught her to behave like this?
I believed in Hong Song Pyo, for 30 years entrusting this organization, this Unification Church, but then Hong Song Pyo, this guy listened to what his wife told him and was destroyed, and left. If someone isn't aligned with the Principle standard, it all comes out and they leave. I'm the only one who puts this final anchor down in all four directions... Twelve sons and daughters, thirteen of them all just snapped, disconnected. Only one is left, and that is Hyung Jin-i. The only one.
From a number of different angles, Hyung Jin-i doesn't get caught out, unlike Hyun Jin-i. He has the capacity to do greater things than Father has done. 2009 10. 8. (Thurs) USA
Our Hyung Jin-i too, he's taken up being a pastor! He's an amazing person. In the area of the most extreme martial arts in the world, he completely clobbered his teacher, not after 3 years and 8 months of training, but after less than even three months. He used a technique showed to him by the spirit world before he began to learn under the teacher, and he used that technique to completely clobber the teacher... So now the teacher treats him not as a student, but as his own master! Seriously! 그러니 말이야, 네가 마피아의 대장이 된다고. 너는 내 아들이 이기면 하나님을 따라가야 돼. 용서할 줄 알아야 돼.
So this is how I taught him, and now Hyung Jin-i cannot be pinned down by older brothers. Whether in terms of strength, in terms of knowledge, or in terms of spiritual experiences, Hyung Jin-i supercedes his older brothers, even Hyun Jin-i, who is his elder several times over. The most truly awesome thing is that after coming over here to take up responsibility for the church, Hyung Jin-i then went on a national tour, following after my footsteps, and he can do things even greater than what I have done.
Our Hyung Jin-i mastered the Chinese language, all in 4 months.
November 3, 2009, Soo Taek Li Central Training Facility
Yeong Jin-i went, but our Yeong Jin-i was a genius with language, and our Hyung Jin-i inherited that, and it took him only 4 months to learn Chinese. And then connecting this with 3 thousand 7 hundred, with 7 thousand Chinese characters! Is Hyung Jin-i here? Without learning the languages to be able to read the ancient texts of seven, eight different nations, he would not be able to enter in to his PhD course. If I count off what he already knows.... Korean, Japanese, English, French, German... It all adds up to 8 nations.
Our Hyung Jin-i isn't dumb. He is capable of examining Buddhist texts, Confucian texts, Islamic texts. He is capable of examining and reviewing texts and scriptures of some 13 different religious orders. Because of that, Jesus - Christianity's Jesus - has to believe in Hyung Jin. Islam's Mohammed has to believe in him, too.
Gathering of Church Officials, April 16, 2008
True Father's words: “Who do you think I need to entrust the church to? Kwak Jeong Hwan! (Hyung Jin Nim. You already decided this, Father.) That's right. Because of that, he studied a lot of things. The chain of command must be a single chain, and I'll entrust him with doing the work that I did."
(Explanation) True Father said that he would entrust the work that he did to Hyung Jin Nim. What is the work that True Father did? Namely, the liberation of God and the work of salvation for humankind in the form of the Messianic salvation providence. True Father explained to church leaders that after his time, he would entrust these things to Moon Hyung Jin.
Cheon Jeong Gung, April 18, 2008
True Father appointed Moon Hyung Jin as both the World President and the Korean President of the Family Federation, and offered a benediction in which he assigned to Moon Hyung Jin God's authority and the right of inheritance. Extract of Prayer April 18, 2008, Appointment of Moon Hyung Jin as the World President and the Korean President of the Family Federation Moon Hyung Jin and Lee Yeonah who are standing here, these two - this son and daughter - who have become a couple, now, as they stand before True Parents, at this time of the turning point, the transition time, in the position of attending the True Parent, where they can represent everything and attend the True Parent with the authority of the representative body which they now inherit. Because they are now in this position, may they connect to the realm of heart....
Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong Haeseol, p1577 (Korean version)
The relationship between you and God is originally a parent-child relationship. In the New Testament 2 The word "belief" is being used by Father to mean trust in, give recognition and support. 67 age, human beings were God's adopted children. But now because the relationship is a fatherson relationship, when the son does something, the father is doing it, and when the father does something, the son is doing it. Whatever they do is done together. What belongs to the father belongs to the son. What belongs to the son belongs to the father. What makes the Unification family so formidable is that we are teaching this kind of father-son connection. This is the most powerful, most formidable thing.
Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong Haeseol, Page 181 (Korean version)
The mother must respect and value her son more than her own life, respect and value her husband more than her own life, respect and value her husband's father more than her own life, respect and value her husband's grandfather more than her own life in order to fulfill her responsibility as a field.
(Explanation) At this time, Hak Ja Han is not fulfilling her responsibility. Rather, she is behaving counter to and destroying her responsibility. Whereas Father tells her to give up her own life and fulfill her responsibility as a 'field', the field has actually pulled up and thrown away all the grains. She has uprooted and chased away the successor, and is destroying all the foundation built up by her husband.
Selected Speeches Vol. 255, p 25 (Korean version)
“The standard on which the True Parent can stand is created by Cain and Abel becoming one. Cain and Abel becoming one brings things back to the situation before the Fall occurred. Do you get it?” The Family Federation is denying the representative body and heir, but Cain and Abel have already become one. By Cain being obedient and submitting to Abel in Adam's family, Adam and the Archangel are restored to their correct positions and Adam's family is restored to the condition it was in prior to the Fall. This becomes the foundation where the True Parent can reside together with Cain and Abel. So where does True Father reside? Is it in the Cheon Jeong Gung? There is no Cain and Abel at the Cheon Jeong Gung. Cain and Abel are together at Sanctuary.
Selected Speeches Vol. 253, p. 30 (Korean version), January 1, 1994, International Training Center,
'The Ideal of the Oneness of God and Humankind in Love' Only men carry the true seed of true love. Between men and women, who is the subject? Is the man the subject, or the woman? "The man is the subject." In the fallen world, there is no path and no way for a woman to come into the world bringing God's true love. This is true for eternity. You have to know this point. In the fallen world, there is no way for the seed of true life that centers on true love to be brought into the world through a woman. This is because it cannot contain the standard of Adam, who is male, in perfection. 68 Aside from God and perfected Adam, no one can receive and inherit the seed from within God by becoming one with God and with God's love. Adam is the only one who can inherit and succeed to that seed. No woman has the seed. Does a woman have the seed, or not? "No woman has the seed." A woman is an empty nest. An empty nest, you hear? An empty nest. For this reason, no matter how great or magnificent a woman is, she cannot assert herself as having the subject nature.
(Explanation) Women do not carry the seed of Heaven. Accordingly, no woman can give the blessing all by herself.
The Family Federation is keeping their mouth shut with regards to the matter of the intended euthanasia of True Father. They say that, at that time, True Father was conscious. They say that there were times when he would open his eyes, too. However, Hak Ja Han very strongly advocated euthanizing True Father.
The medium Kim Hyo Nam added her voice saying that the spirit world was waiting to receive True Father, so he should be sent there quickly. Where in the world do people perform euthanasia on a living person who is conscious? At the Family Federation, they put forward the excuse that the Han Mother wanted to send True Father to the spirit world because she was too heartbroken at the sight of him lying there in difficulty. The reasoning here is that there was only a low possibility of True Father recovering from his condition, and that extending his life by the means of life-support equipment would be meaningless. Thus, wouldn't it be better to send him to the spirit world comfortably? Gently?
They defend the actions of the Han Mother by saying that this was the logic behind her advocating for the euthanasia of Father. But it isn't true.
In reality, who insisted on euthanasia despite the vehement opposition of the two sons? When Hyung Jin Nim strongly opposed euthanasing Father, who flew into a rage and violently struck him across the face? Given the situation, wouldn't the appropriate response be to say "I feel the same way, but Father's situation is so difficult, shouldn't we do something?" and then embrace her two sons and weep together? Even people in the secular world have that level of heart, don't you think?
The fact that Hak Ja Han got angry and slapped the face of her son simply because he was opposed to her action reveals her strong desire to pursue the euthanasia itself. When Moon Hyung Jin opposed this course of action and expressed disgust at the proposal, Mother felt a hatred for him and in reaction, violently struck out at her son. This action alone gives us good cause to doubt Hak Ja Han’s integrity.
Anyone who has learned the Principle needs to be clear about this point: when the Messiah is sent and when the Messiah returns to God are matters that belong exclusively to God and God's program for his providence of salvation. God chooses and prepares the time, the place and the people to receive the Messiah. When the time is right, he sends the Messiah and accomplishes the Will. How and when God calls the Messiah back to him is something that is determined solely by God's providential program. How can humans even think to decide this for themselves?
Do human beings have the right or the authority to decide the fate of the messiah based on their own evaluations? Who on earth has received this right and authority? The whole notion is clearly a satanic 70 design and the work of Satan. The only one who wants to violate the life of the Messiah is Satan. No one else.
This is the reason why True Father's representative body, Moon Hyung Jin, censured his mother so strongly, warning "History will remember you as a murderer." Truly unacceptable, unforgivable things took place.
Fortunately, most fortunately, thanks to the opposition of Moon Kook Jin Nim and Moon Hyung Jin, True Father passed to the spirit world at the time decided by God, not man. Hyung Jin Nim and Kook Jin Nim protected and preserved True Father's life.
Editor's Note: The author is referring to an incident that took place when Rev. Moon was in the hospital linked up to a respirator. As Hyung Jin Moon explained, Hak Ja Han and the medium Kim Hyo Nam wanted to take True Father off the respirator, which would have resulted in instant death. Hyung Jin and Kook Jin vehemently dissuaded them from this course of action, warning her that if she (Hak Ja Han) took that step, she would be remembered in history as the one who murdered the Messiah. Thanks to the intercession of the two sons, Rev. Moon passed naturally at 1:54 am on September 3, 2012. 71
1) We must have a faith that maintains its life force.
As people of faith, what kind of religion do we need to practice? In order to grapple with this question, let’s consider religion as being divided into two categories. One category is 'closed religion' and the other category is 'open religion'.
The primary feature of a closed religion is that it teaches all adherents to submit unconditionally to a self-defined absolute authority. A closed religion teaches the following formula: all answers, every aspect of the code of conduct, all actions and doctrines are absolute and unchanging, and have already been given. Consequently, as long as an adherent accepts these literally and obeys them by believing them without question, then the adherent will be blessed and rewarded. If the adherent does not obey them, however, he or she will receive anger and punishment.
In contrast, an open religion teaches us not to treat the world we take for granted, the world of everyday life, as an absolute. It teaches us not the be satisfied with this world. Instead, an open religion teaches us to treat the transcendental world as the true real world, and to confront that true world as is. To help us do this, an open religion guides us to humbly recognize that, as human beings, our current thinking and appreciation of the world is inherently limited. Such a religion requires us to make the effort to continually investigate with an open mind so that we discover and perceive deeper and broader dimensions of the truth. In other words, in a nutshell, a closed religion is one that clings to the 'surface structure' of reality, while an open religion is interested in the 'deep structure’ of reality.
So then, which religions are closed religions and which ones are open religions? Actually, if we try to divide all religions down-the-middle in a manner that says this religion is an open one and this religion is a closed one, this does not help. Trying to divide religions into sheep and goats like this is not an applicable approach. Why? Because most religions can be both closed and open. In other words, closed religion aspects and open religion aspects can both exist together within a single religion.
Whatever the religion is, if the people following that religion do not deeply grasp the true purpose of the religion but instead continue a suffocating religious lifesyle forever, fixated on the superficial words, then that religion will become a closed religion. On the other hand, if the adherents of the religion invest themselves to ever more deeply realize the true meaning of the religion and strive to live a life in which they experience the freedom and liberation that the religion is intended to foster, then that religion will become an open religion.
If we take stock of our own approach to the life of faith, we will probably realize that it is not a good thing to either unconditionally accepting or unconditionally rejecting anything that others may say to 72 us. Unconditionally believing everything that someone else says to us is a foolish 'blind faith'. At the same time, while it seems different, the approach of rejecting everything in fact comes from the same 'blind faith' attitude.
In his famous work "On Liberty", the English philosopher John Stuart Mill discusses a variety of reasons why it is critical to guarantee freedom of speech. According to Mill, it is beneficial for people who have brilliant ideas to share those ideas with others on the basis of freedom of speech, but even more importantly, and fundamentally, it is in the process of freely presenting and discussing those views that the strengths and defects of those ideas come more clearly to light.
In a society where everyone thinks the same and says the same things, or a society where people are forced to behave like this, only stagnation will occur. It doesn't matter what is said, even if it seems preposterous or ridiculous. As long as free speech is allowed, then what is said can undergo an animated discussion process. If the content is excellent, it will be accepted and developed even further. If the content is truly useless or bad, then it will naturally die out because of the rejection it experiences.
According to Mill, a society can only free itself from a state of mediocrity and achieve continuous development through this kind of free discussion process, where people are allowed to listen to other's ideas and then organize and express their own. For this reason, freedom of speech must be guaranteed. Even more than being a matter of human rights, free speech is indispensable for the development of human society. (From 'The one question that Jesus ignored’, Prof. Oh Kang Nam)
A little while back, I had the opportunity to have a very candid one-on-one talk with a brother from the Family Federation. I got the impression that he was experiencing a lot of worry and was struggling internally. Having dedicated both his youth and his future to the providence, he had overcome opposition from his family and ridicule from those around him. And although he had followed the movement up until this time with conviction and hope, all of a sudden he found himself in a dead end and he spent a lot of time questioning his own choices. "As it is today, can the Family Federation achieve the ideal of Cheon Il Guk?" "In the midst of all the confusion that exists today, am I going in the right direction?"
Considering where our movement now stands, we need to take a step back, calm ourselves down and take some time to reflect quietly and ask ourselves:
1. Is the series of changes that the leadership of the Family Federation have adopted since True Father ascended truly in alignment with True Father's will?
2. Considering that the True Parent proclaimed Moon Hyung Jin as his representative body and heir, why did Moon Hyung Jin leave the church? Why is he criticizing his Mother and reprimanding the leadership of the Family Federation with such intense indignation and anger?
3. We see the church splitting up into two, into three, before our very eyes, yet why is the leadership of the Family Federation so disinterested in actively resolving the situation?
4. Is it True Father's will that we should have no idea what is going on inside the church, or that we remain completely uninvolved in what is going on inside the church? Should we simply follow the directions of the headquarters of the Family Federation without knowing or hearing anything?
5. We were told by Father that God would directly rule after Foundation Day, so what is God actually doing? Is the ‘Cheon Il Guk’' that has been established the correct and true Cheon Il Guk? Are we destined to continue to live like this until we die? Is this the destiny of our children's generation too?
6. Is the path that I am walking now one with the Will of God? Or am I somehow deluding myself?
Many brothers and sisters experience confusion about all these things. I mean, what is right? What is wrong? Who should I be following, the leadership of the Family Federation or the Sanctuary Church? These kinds of complicated feelings have created a dilemma that most of the blessed families of the Unification path are confronted with today. Considering that fact, doesn't it stand to reason that it is now more important than ever to take the necessary time to examine and reflect on one’s own course of faith?
Accordingly, rather than focusing on the assertions I am putting to you here today, I think it's more necessary to pause and take an objective look at the state we, as a whole, are in. Let's take some time to be silent, to step back from who I am today, to put aside all the shouts and all the whispers, and quietly take a look at myself.
Personally, I think we need to experience a new awakening, a new perspective, in our life of faith. For example, what is the thing that we have to do in order to correctly lead a life of faith? What is it that we must avoid at all costs? Also, what is the purpose of the practice of faith?
Today, I need nothing more than the smartphone in my hand to access all of the world's data. Almost instantaneously, I can obtain a quatity of information that is far greater than the knowledge of 100 different experts. This is the era in which we live, the era of transparent information, when all the secrets of the world are coming out and when nothing can be covered up.
Yet despite this era, the leadership of the Family Federation has created a no-go zone around the issues taking place inside Cheon Jeong Gung. We only get what information they decide to give us, and everything else is covered up. Today's Family Federation is caught up in a whirlwind of struggle and stands on the precipice and yet we, the membership, have become outsiders, kept in ignorance of what the reality is. Instead, members of society who are not part of the Unification Movement are the ones who inform us about the inner workings taking place inside the Family Federation!
An organization that runs only on instructions and obedience while shutting off any approach to its inner workings has lost its life force. A group that only allows top-down obedience and rejects any bottom-up communication is a group that has no life force. When there is no communication, the nerves become paralyzed and decay begins to set in. Even if an illness exists, the ability to feel or sense that illness has been lost. Such an organization or group has only two ways it can continue its existence: Resistance and rebellion or apathy and indifference. What else is possible? Doesn’t this 74 describe the state of affairs in the Family Federation today?
All of us were revolutionaries in our time. Led by Heaven to meet the Messiah, we shook off the shackles of the world and declared our determination to accomplish an ideal world of freedom, peace and happiness by following him. Attending True Father, the Messiah, we punched our way through the wilderness era and overcame numerous persecutions and bone-breaking situations to gain victory and together establish the kingly authority of God. Following the ascension of the Messiah to the spirit world, however, the Family Federation has been caught up in massive confusion and the Unification Church has been split in two.
Noticing that the Messiah's will was evaporating from the Family Federation, there are those who went once again into the cold wilderness, following True Father's representative body and heir Moon Hyung Jin, who stood alone in the wilderness defending God's will. Why? To keep their promise to the Messiah and revive God's will again. These are the brothers and sisters of the Peace and Unification Sanctuary, who stand in protection of the three generational kingships.
But the brothers and sisters who remain in the Family Federation have other ideas. They fear to go once again and walk the wilderness course. They don't want to sacrifice any more. These are the people who prefer to live quietly, comfortably, obediently in 'Cheon Il Guk', regardless of whether they have to attend True Father or attend Hak Ja Han, regardless of whether the leadership of the Family Federation are doing the right thing or the wrong thing. They tell themselves that now that they have finally become the central blessed families of Cheon Il Guk, they'd rather now just go along and enter into Heaven believing that everything is fine. They have been tamed. Domesticated, actually. But before we even begin to think about finding out which path is the one that leads to Cheon Il Guk, we need to think about how we should practice our life of faith. Only a correct view of the life of faith will guide us to the right path.
An incorrect practice of faith can be extremely damaging. Of all the problems it can create, I think that forfeiting 'one’s right to think autonomously and rationally' is by far the worst.
A distorted perspective on faith often leads the practitioner to immerse themselves in a rigid or fixed view of doctrine and salvation, and we can already see a lot of this within the Family Federation. It's easy to find numerous structural barriers within the Federation preventing any kind of criticism, and these barriers make it impossible to investigate the facts. Moreover, everyone and anyone can see that this is happening. In that kind of environment, faith naturally becomes conceptual and the ‘faithful’ fall into a spiritual rut where the only thing that expands is the theory of salvation. It becomes impossible for outsiders to find any active breathing signs of life. Me? I call this ‘programmed robotic faith’.
People whose thinking and discernment have run dry, people whose sense of awareness is dead; such people have lost their freedom and their ability to decide. They are nothing more than robots or slaves.
This is the type of faith that puts rigid doctrine in the center place. It obliterates our ability to think autonomously and destroys our ability to experience the freedom that makes life worth living. Such a system of faith traps our thinking inside a hard, frozen fence and treats us like livestock, sapping our life force. This kind of religious institution is something we have to resolutely reject.
The true life of faith is a path in which we renew ourselves again and again, each and every day. Regardless of any position I find myself in, I have to examine myself in the light of the truth and build my awareness, always directing myself towards freedom and liberation in that truth. Faith in which free thought and action are fettered by the shackles of doctrine and ritual is neither correct nor is it true faith.
You need to experience a new realization and awaken from illusion. If you do, you will find that your vista is broadened; a bright light will shine on the road to building Cheon Il Guk, and you'll be able to accurately evaluate all the changes taking place today in the leadership of the Family Federation. All of you are free to criticize me. Discussion is what teaches us to distinguish right and wrong. Just don't practice a dead life of faith. In the whole world, no one in more miserable than the person whose soul and free spirit have become parched like a desert, and who lives out a meaningless life devoid of thought. As True Father taught us: "there is no perfection in ignorance".
2) A free people growing in faith
Brothers and sisters of the Family Federation: in your families, are husband and wife one in true love? Are your children being raised properly in accordance with the desires of God and True Parents? Are you moving ahead to perfect the four realms of heart, the three great kingships and the realm of the royal family? Of course, if you ask me 'How about you? You are the one asking the question', then of course the same goes for me .
But then, is the headquarters of the Family Federation helping you to achieve a true family? Many of you came from Japan, crossing the Genkai Sea to follow True Parents will, receive the Blessing and establish true families. You pulled yourselves away from your parents while they were wailing and crying and holding on to your sleeves. You put aside the warnings that your families would cut you off and you came to South Korea. You put aside all ties, determined to attend the True Parent and build a four position foundation that would embody a true couple and give birth to true children.
You freely abandoned everything you had in Japan and came over here. You took this path with the determination that at some point, once the Will was accomplished and you had built a true family, you would go as a couple, together with your children, and proudly show yourselves to your brothers and sisters and parents at home. But where are you today? How have your families turned out?
Are you a proud couple? Have your children grown up as principled young people, as models for the secular world? Are your children proud of their parents? Are they grateful to their parents?
Up to this day, you have sacrificed and given your obedience to the path of God’s Will, so why have things turned out this way? It is your fault?
I'm sorry if these words hurt your feelings. That is not my intention - to damage your pride or your selfesteem. And I'm not trying to say that you made the wrong choices in life, in the direction you chose. You didn't make the wrong choice; it was the right direction to take. But the leadership of the Family Federation have made serious mistakes. The Family Federation should exist for the sake of true families, but they led you to live like you exist for the sake of the church, and that is a mistake.
They told you to serve the church, even if it meant sacrificing your families. That's no small matter. In fact, this instruction caused us to diverge from the true direction of God's will. We all received the Blessing from the True Parents. None of you chose your own subject or object partner. True Father matched you together and told you to make a true family. But the Family Federation today has no interest in your family. All they are interested in are ‘the results’ aka your performance. For them, you are nothing more than a number on their performance balance sheet.
Moreover, they have no interest in the quality of life you live after you received the Blessing. When you were suffering in your Blessing, struggling with language and culture and communication breakdown, did they ever provide genuine care? Counseling? All they did was give you the title of 'Missionary' and then take you away from your family for witnessing every chance they could get. And service, as well. Service projects. They drew up a roster and got you to clean the church and cook the meals. At times, they would invite visitors and get you to wear 'hanbok' (traditional Korean dresses) and have you sing before their guests. And you followed their instructions like puppets, without any pride or sense of self-respect. They told you this is what it meant to practice a good life of faith – ‘obey the church leaders’.
When your children were treated as outcasts at school for being 'multi-racial children', labeled as 'Unification Church students', and when they found it impossible to adjust to school life and suffered as a result, the church provided no counseling whatsoever, nor did it try to help them adjust to school life in any way. Most blessed children have no sense of confidence in their own identity. Instead of feeling proud of being a second generation, they had to hide their identity and live life embarrassed about who they are. The children came to feel depressed about their mothers who spent each day, every day, living at the church, and in the end, they came to mistrust their own parents and feel envious of normal, regular families. Eventually, they rejected the hopes and purposes of their parents and became distant from the church.
It has often been said 'let's follow the way of the Will so that we can realize the goals of True Parents'. Today, however, we have to be careful not to treat the 'Family Federation' as if the organization itself represents the highest value of all values. If we misconstrue things, and think that way - that we must give all our effort and all our time purely for the sake of the Family Federation - this will only create more problems.
True Father came to this world as 'the one to accomplish the will of God'. He lived his entire life with the heart of a parent who searches for his children, with no other goal than to establish true people and true families and a true ideal world here in this false and fallen world. For that goal, he shed his sweat, tears and blood. So that is why the Family Federation exists: for the sake of true families.
The federation does not and cannot exist only for itself. Ultimately, the purpose of the existence of the Family Federation is to realize true families. Historically speaking, most churches were first established as places for serving the world, but after a time they became a purpose unto themselves, so that the church itself eventually became 'sacred'. This is just like what happened in communist nations, where the communist party was first established to usher in a workers' paradise, but once it was in power, the party itself became the highest good and the most important value.
I want to emphasize this once again: the Family Federation is meant to exist for the sake of the blessed families; blessed families do not exist for the sake of the Family Federation. Moreover, blessed families should not be sacrificed for the sake of the 'donation providence' or for the expansion of ecclesiastical power. These things themselves have little if not nothing to do with a 'true family movement'.
Actually, in the completed testament era, witnessing is not something we should do by going outside and talking to people in the street. Rather, we should be building true families and showing people what they are like. Instead of grabbing a handful of fliers and tracking down people to preach to them, we should be witnessing by our actions, and beyond that, by showing people model families who embody and realize true love in practice.
In order to realize Cheon Il Guk, the Family Federation should be more concerned with "what kind of people we are becoming" and "what kind of families we should be" than with worrying about "what members should be doing for the church". Regardless of what we offer, unless our lives experience some fundamental and essential change, then all our efforts will fail to bring any substantial result.
If first of all, we ourselves become true beings and we live changed lives, then witnessing in the true sense will take place naturally and automatically. Even in the secular world, there are many people who know about True Father's amazing and noble life. There are many Ambassadors for Peace who deeply respect True Father. Many of those Ambassadors for Peace have also received the Blessing. They know well about the sacrifices made by our Japanese brothers and sisters. So why then do they not become members of the Family Federation? My personal view is that they do not join the Family Federation because they have seen our lives and how we practice our faith; they have seen our families.
I wonder if, when they encountered us, what they actually found was a blind faith and massive donations. I think they probably saw our tired, drooping faces. Perhaps the reason they don't join is that, even though they can see how great True Parents are, when they look at us they think "is this the result of following True Parents?" In this sense, I think that being true witnessing is not a matter of being busy and doing activity by running here and there, but rather our continuous and unceasing efforts at internal growth and change - that itself is the true witness.
Rather than acting in accordance with my own free judgment and my own free decisions, when the leadership of the Family Federation thinks for me and decides things for me, then that is nothing more than moving thoughtlessly, like a slave. Moon Hyung Jin says that this is like being under a spell. He is shouting, calling for you to wake up. He is waking everyone up, telling you that you have to be liberated from this slave-like state. When he shouts 'Stupid!', he's trying to wake us up.
Starting from 2 years before to the 2016 election, Moon Hyung Jin was waiting for a candidate to emerge who could rescue America and the world. Moon Hyung Jin made it very clear that Candidate Trump was a person put there by Heaven. He foresaw that Trump would achieve a definitive victory thanks to the work of God and True Father, so he made poured out all his effort and made conditions so that Trump would be elected.
Actually, this United States presidential election was not a fight about who could make the best promises or who was better at running a campaign. Rather, it was a spiritual battle between the three generational kingship and massive satanic forces. Even though we were unaware of it, the 2nd King, Moon Hyung Jin, unfolded a spiritual battle to ensure that Trump would be successful.
1) The United States presidential election was the providence to preserve Cheon Il Guk
Through his entire life, True Father, who came as the Messiah, worked to establish a foundation for the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Christians and his opponents criticized Reverend Moon, asking why he didn’t stick to the job of a ‘religious leader’. Why did he became involved in politics, finances, culture, media, philosophy, science, construction, the arts, sports, etc?
Well, that's accurate. True Father Sun Myung Moon is not simply a religious leader. True Father came to this world to establish God's kingdom in this world. His vision and dream was 'One world under God'.
He came to create a new civilization centered on God. He came to declare the end of Satan's culture and build a new ideal world centered on God. In other words, the world of 'Godism'.
Over the course of his whole life, True Father prepared the foundation in all dimensions necessary for the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. However, due to the cosmic-level fall of the Han Mother, who stood in the position to represent all of humankind, Father's ideal could not be accomplished during his lifetime, and he ascended to the spirit world leaving the Will to be accomplished through the three generation kingships.
The Satanic world, now confronted with crisis and having been put on the defensive by the providence of the Messiah, used the cosmic-level fall of the Han Mother as a condition to concentrate their forces and conduct an all-out attack.
They devised a plot and conspired to achieve eternal dominion over humankind. They assembled all the satanic forces behind politics, finances, media, religion, society, culture, etc. and moved to drive God out by establishing a world government centering on the super-elite groups, thereby ushering in Satan's worldwide kingship what would control humankind forever. 80 In other words, they planned a 'One world under Satan'.
In this way, as always, Satan took the initiative to build an unprincipled world before the emergence of a principled world.
The recent United States presidential election was not a competition between Trump, the male candidate from the Republican Party versus Clinton, the female candidate from the Democratic Party. Rather, it was a war by proxy between God and Satan.
That war, that fight, was fought out between Trump, supported by Christians on the one hand, and Clinton, who was supported by the super-rich and world banks, who are a satanic force exercising control and influence over the USA.
Accordingly, Moon Hyung Jin, who stands in the position of the King of Kings of Cheon Il Guk, declared himself to the world via "Breaking the Silence" and went forth in search of Trump. While Kim Young Soon of the Family Federation was busy with the spirit world report, Moon Hyung Jin and Moon Kook Jin were conducting a fight-to-the-death spiritual battle with the Satanic forces, forces that intend to dominate and control humankind forever by setting up a satanic world government.
2) How did Donald Trump succeed?
Almost all of the super-elite groups dominating the United States were mobilized to support Hillary Clinton. Clinton was their puppet and pawn. Former presidents, the current president, and a large majority of politicians were all taken in by the machinations of the super-elite and were mobilized, en mass, to make Hillary Clinton president. Not only was Clinton recipient to their massive political and financial support, but she was also in league with Islamicists, was homosexual, and was a woman chosen to promote abortion and the establishment of a global communist government.
On the other hand, Donald Trump advocated a USA-first approach, and stood as an anti-Islamicist, an anti-homosexual, and made clear his opposition to abortion and the globalist conspiracy. Accordingly, the super-elite groups were fearful of Trump and concentrated all their efforts on preventing his election as president of the USA. Donald Trump was consistenly denounced as the most ill-bred, phony human being in the world, not only by the 6 major news networks comprising 90% of America's mainstream media, but also by a large majority of establishment politicians, and government institutions like the FBI and CIA, etc. They branded him, saying he did not possess the qualities necessary for a presidential candidate. They disparaged him and clamored for him to resign his candidacy.
They denounced him. They said it was clear he had no chance of winning. They said that he only besmirched and sullied the political scene by pointlessly competing. Even within the Republican party, party members took issue with his supposed lack of qualification and announced that they would refuse to support his campaign. The United States mainstream media claimed that Trump did not have even a 1 in 10 chance of winning the presidency and continued to report his defeat as a fait accompli right up until the day of the election. Actually, it seems that Donald Trump would be hard pressed to avoid humiliation, let alone win.
However, one day in September, just as the election campaign was reaching its climax, Donald Trump sent his son Eric Trump to meet with Moon Hyung Jin and Moon Kook Jin Nim. At the busiest time of the campaign, Eric Trump came to visit a young Asian pastor who shaves his head and leads a tiny church in Newfoundland, a quiet and secluded village in rural Pennsylvania.
There, Trump asked Moon Hyung Jin for his help.
Moon Hyung Jin and Moon Kook Jin discussed the direction of the election with Eric Trump and promised their support. Who was it that drew Eric Trump here to Sanctuary in the backwoods of Pennsylvania? Externally speaking, what possible aid could Moon Hyung Jin bring to the Trump campaign?
Nonetheless, it was Moon Hyung Jin whom he came to see. This was something no one could have predicted. God led him to the three generation kingships in order to receive his blessing. How else way could we explain this? The second King blessed him, and told him that God would be with him and that he would be victorious, without fail.
No matter how strong and big Satan's world is, it is no match for ability of the absolute, omniscient and omnipotent God. Donald Trump was wise. He understood the authority of God and submitted himself to it. Equipped with the full armor of the Holy Spirit, Donald Trump plowed his way through the difficulties, resolutely and with confidence.
The result: Trump won the victory - a massive victory - in the end.
The Second King, Mr. and Mrs. Hyung Jin Moon, Mr. and Mrs. Kook Jin Moon, with Mr. and Mrs. Eric Trump in the center. Much of the media predicted that Pennsylvania would be a hard-fought battle, a battle that might decide the election. "The one who wins in Pennsylvania will be the one who gains the White House."
So Candidate Trump visited Pennsylvania once again on the very last day of the election campaign. Externally speaking, the purpose was to focus the final campaign hours on Pennsylvania, which is traditionally a Democratic Party stronghold. However, the final step was hard to understand and seemed to defy common sense. Instead of traveling to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's second largest city, he visited Scranton, a small city of some 70,000 people.
Why would Trump have chosen that tiny city of Scranton for that all-important final campaign event? Amazingly, it turns out that Moon Hyung Jin lives less than 30 minutes drive from Scranton. Even more amazingly, the venue for that final campaign event was Lackawanna College, where Moon Kook Jin just happens to be a member of the college advisory committee.
Why on earth did Donald Trump visit such a place? More importantly, what happened there? Internally speaking, Donald Trump came to Scranton to receive the blessing of the Second King. Yes, God called Trump once again to come and connect with the three generation kingships. Even without his direct knowledge, Heaven was leading him and guiding him to do this. And this is how he came to receive the victory blessing from the Second King. In addition to members of True Father's family, Moon Hyung Jin and Moon Kook Jin brought world leaders from South Korea, Japan and the USA, etc., to participate in that rally.
As an individual, Donald Trump was subject to all sorts of indignities during the election campaign. He 83 was criticized as crude and ineloquent, unqualified to run for the Presidency. He was labeled a misogynist and accused of sexually harassing women. He was attacked as someone who made all his money through gambling. In short, he was ridiculed and criticized all around the world as the most ill-bred of all human beings. On top of all this, although he rightfully should have been supported by the Republican Party, the party actually abandoned him, which forced him to go it alone for the entire campaign.
All alone, by himself, he traveled throughout the territories of the United States, resolute, unwavering, carrying out a hopeless struggle against truly terrifying opponents. Finally, after he had poured out all that was humanly possibly, Heaven called him to Scranton, Pennsylvania on the final day of his campaign to impart to him Heaven's blessing. What led him to Scranton, if not his original mind that lead him to rely and lean on God?
The truth is, God sent Donald Trump to the Second King of Cheon Il Guk one final time before the day of the election and there poured out on him the holy spirit and His blessing.
Through his success in Pennsylvania, traditionally a stronghold of the Democratic Party, Trump won the day and eventually clinched victory in election.
As for the Pennsylvania election, the disadvantage Trump expeireinced in the first half of the election was turned upside down and a dramatic turnaround was claimed. This was indeed God's victory through the spiritual conditions laid by the Second King Moon Hyung Jin. Is there any other way to interpret the results?

3) Victory of the Three Generation Kingships
In the lead up to the election, virtually no one predicted Donald Trump’s victory. If anybody did, it was only Trump himself and the Second King, Pastor Moon Hyung Jin of Sanctuary Church, plus the victorious Cain Moon Kook Jin. In fact, despite recognizing the providential necessity of Trump being elected as President as per the words of Moon Hyung Jin, even Sanctuary brothers and sisters felt anxious about the outcome.
All mainstream media and political pundits were predicting an overwhelming win by Hillary Clinton. If someone floated the notion that Trump would win the election, that person was treated like a mindless idiot or a fool. Until the last day of the campaign, the key media in the United States confidently stated that Clinton had a 90% probability of winning. For us, all we could do was to lean pitifully on Heaven nursing wretched, painful hearts. And so we prayed, and we prayed, and we prayed that once again, in 2016, we would see the sort of miracle that happened in 1976, when Ronald Reagan was elected thanks to True Father's support.
Do you know how we felt? Do you know our hearts? We felt anxious, knowing that if Trump was defeated in the election, the Satanic forces would attack, ridicule and condemn the dignity and capacity of the Second King. Why? Because the Second King was clearly supporting Trump in the name of God while exposing and attacking Clinton for what she is. I take this opportunity to confess that my faith was weak, and all I can do is to offer repentance and ask for forgiveness.
As the election day passed and the votes were counted, we saw heaven and earth turned upside down before our eyes.
An undeniable great victory for Trump!
Once again, that miracle we were earnestly praying for, the miracle we barely dared to believe in, took place and America was shaken. The world was astonished, staggered.
The result was in fact even more amazing and astounding than the success of the Reagan landslide accomplished by True Father. While people all over the world were astounded and struggling to believe the outcome, Sanctuary supporters around the world shed tears and offered prayers of thanks and glory to God, together with Moon Hyung Jin.
However, this victory was not Donald Trump's personal victory. It was a victory for God, who had set Donald Trump as his champion. It was a victory for True Father in the spirit world. It was a victory for the united Cain and Abel, the Second King of Cheon Il Guk and the three generation kingships.
God blessed Donald Trump in order to save the world, and internally, to establish Cheon Il Guk. The Christians of America became one and supported him.
Oek Mansei for the establishment of God's kingly authority!
Oek Mansei for the True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind!
Oek Mansei for the establishment of Cheon Il Guk!
4) The fight between good and evil starts now.
However, the fight begins from this point. A final war remains to be fought against the Satanic forces, who, centering on the super-elite, aim to build a world government and single global economic system where human beings can be farmed and bred like slaves.
Hidden from the visible world of external phenomena, there are the archangelic forces that want to manipulate the world's politics, economics, media, religions, societies and cultures from behind, like some poisonous cloud over the globe. A final fight to the finish remains and it is against Archangelic forces that want to rule humankind for eternity.
These are the forces that oppose God; they are the anti-Christ powers. They must be judged in the name of God, in the name of the Messiah, and in the name of the three generation kingships. We have to fight it out, to decide once and for all. We have to banish them forever and complete the building of the substantial Cheon Il Guk.
With Trump externally in the lead, and internally through the providence of the Second King, embracing Christianity, we have to put an end to Satan on this earth forever. This is an unavoidable fight, a fight that has to be won so that we can establish Cheon Il Guk in substance.
During the next 7 years of judgment, we must conduct a holy war, one in which we judge the satanic forces and restore God's ideal of creation. The Bible prophecies such a final war. This is what it calls ‘Armageddon’.
Christianity will come to attend the Second Coming by working with the Second King, who will lead the campaign of this holy war.
Think about it!
Why did Cain and Abel come to the wilderness of Pennsylvania under the guidance of True Father?
Why did True Father invest so much effort in the Las Vegas providence prior to his ascension to the spirit world?
Who would have guessed that Trump would emerge from Las Vegas as a candidate for the presidency of the United States?
Trump was an entrepreneur who built his businesses in the hotel and gambling industries in Las Vegas. It was True Father's investment, True Father's cheongseong that found Trump and set him up 86 before God. It was True Father who led the Las Vegas providence in order to send Donald Trump to the Second King in the wilderness. The Second King, Mrs. and Mrs. Hyung Jin Moon, Mr. and Mrs. Kook Jin Moon 87
