True Parents’ Day Was the Central Idea in God’s Concept of the Creation

Happy 58th True Parents’ Day!

Genesis 47

27Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and were fruitful and increased greatly in number.

Isaiah 40

You are all interested in me, aren’t
you? When I go somewhere and say
something, you should all carry cell
phones so that you can listen to me any-
where. On this True Parents’ Day, you
should know how great your Parents’
suffering has been and how much pain
your Parents have carried in their hearts.
Now the time has come when you need
to learn about your Parents. Otherwise,
you will not know the tradition; you will
not have a tradition. (131-62, 1984.4.1)
Originally, the idea of True Parents’
Day was the central idea in God’s con-
cept of the creation. After creating all
things, God created human beings to
rule over them. The purpose for which
God blessed human beings to take
dominion over all things was none other
than to establish True Parents.
Originally, Adam and Eve would
have become True Parents by uniting
with each other centered on God; then,
Parents’ Day would have been estab-
lished and the entire universe would
have sung praises in the name of the Uni-
versal Parents. Thus, True Parents’ Day
should have been a day of joy with the
entire universe singing praises together
in the name of the Parents. It was God’s
deepest desire that this day be celebrat-
ed. Due to the Fall of the first human
ancestors, however, heaven and earth
never saw this True Parents’ Day. Thus,
God has never ceased working to real-
ize His original plan for True Parents’
Day. Before we can celebrate True Par-
ents’ Day, however, we must first receive
True Parents. The True Parents are the
central beings. They must judge his-
tory, rule over the present and pioneer
the future. The desire of people through-
out history has also been to receive such
True Parents.
Why are we trying to restore a peo-
ple? We are creating a people to attend
the victorious True Parents and to attend
them truly by realizing a free heaven and
earth as sons and daughters of filial piety.
The True Parents will appear before the
entire cosmos on a national founda-
tion that can stand on behalf of heaven,
earth and all humankind without accu-
sation from the satanic world. Until now
we have attended True Parents only in
sorrow and pain, but from now on we
should attend them in joy and in free-
dom. When God can dwell within our
hearts, only then, when we are joyful,
will God be able to say, “Yes, your joy is
True Parents

my joy!” We should also establish a stan-
dard by which all people can say, “What
you are grateful for, we are grateful for!”
Today is True Parents’ Day. Only when
you truly establish True Parents’ Day
as your own True Parents’ Day, your
own family’s True Parents’ Day, soci-
ety’s True Parents’ Day, and the nation’s
True Parents’ Day will it be established
as the global True Parents’ Day. Only
when you establish it as the global True
Parents’ Day and then the cosmic True
Parents’ Day will God’s original ideal
of creation to establish True Parents be
completed; only then will there be relief
from the sorrow that came from being
unable to establish True Parents’ Day
due to the Fall.
Furthermore, only when we estab-
lish True Parents’ Day throughout all of
heaven and earth will the sorrow of res-
toration be completely removed. Even
though we have established True Par-
ents’ Day and True Children’s Day, we
have not established True Parents’ Day
on the levels of an individual, a fam-
ily, a people, a nation, the world and the
cosmos. The same is true for True Chil-
dren’s Day, and for the Day of All True
Things. Only when we have developed
to the point where we can be governed
by the standard in which True Parents’
Day, True Children’s Day, and the Day
of All True Things have globally tri-
umphed will God’s original purpose of
creation be completed. Only then will
True Parents’ Day finally become True
Parents’ Day for all humankind and at
the same time True Parents’ Day for
Heaven itself. In the same way, True
Children’s Day and the Day of All True
Things will be True Children’s Day and
the Day of All True Things both for all
humankind and for Heaven. When we
have reached such a position, then the
time will have finally come when God
can say that everything has finally been
accomplished. We must establish True
Parents’ Day, True Children’s Day and
the Day of All True Things on all levels
from the individual, through the fam-
ily, peoples and nations. Only when we
have established these days on the level
of one nation can they become the cen-
tral days of the nation and of the entire
world. This is the issue. (13-294, 1964.4.12)
