Home Church Is The Base Of The Kingdom Of Heaven

Happy True God’s Day!
Enjoy the special reading below for the holy day, and have a great holiday!

The year of 1979 is finally over. The year of 1980 has dawned with great hope and glory. In 1980 we can find a very important number, eight. As we learn in the Divine Principle, the number eight denotes a new beginning and new hope. The Unification Church just welcomed the 1980’s. Now what is the goal and direction of our movement? This year our job is to undertake substantially the home church providence.

From the providential point of view, the third seven-year course would have been turned entirely into the home church crusade. The goal and slogan I gave on the first day of 1979 was “Home Church and the Completion of the Kingdom of Heaven.” The new slogan for 1980 is “Home Church is the Base of the Kingdom of Heaven.”

This slogan shows us that without home church the Kingdom of Heaven cannot become a reality. What kind of Kingdom of Heaven are we talking about? The Kingdom of Heaven is where there is rest and Sabbath, where there is true joy and happiness. When you take that rest do you do it all by yourself? You want to enter the kingdom together with your wife, with your children and parents, with your tribe, your nation and the world. No matter how much you are longing and ready to take Sabbath, if your parents are not in a position to take Sabbath with you, or your wife or children, then certainly you cannot very well take rest. In the Unification Church you are proud of having True Parents. If you are serving them but they are not in a position to take rest or have peace then would you take a rest all by yourself?

God hoped that Adam and Eve would in the future stand in a position where they could establish the way of loyalty and filial piety before Him as the ancestors of hope and the sovereigns of all humankind. Nevertheless, they failed to become the companions who would dispel His solitude. (20-80, 1968.4.28)

In oriental teaching, there is a saying that goes, “All goes well if there is true harmony in the family.” This is a good saying. When we talk about a home, of course it has people at its heart. There are the grandparents, parents and children, but this is not all. The house itself is a microcosm of all creation. All things are gathered here. When we say, “my home,” we normally think of it as the place where my mother and father and wife and children are. But my home is not just this. There would also be my grandparents, and the house itself and the yard. The surrounding environment harmonizes well with this microcosm of creation. This is essential for happiness.

The True Parent and the Completed Testament Age
(Completion, Conclusion and Finalization of the Providence of Restoration Through Indemnity)

    We are in the era of “High Noon Settlement”, where there are no dark shadows.
    The providence has moved through eight vertical stages over the course of history.  This providence was concluded by True Parents, True Father and his bride, True Mother, fulfilling their respective portions of responsibility.
    The providence has also moved through eight horizontal stages, from the individual, then family up to the Cosmos (spiritual and physical worlds, together), up to God.  This providence has been concluded on earth.
    Since January 1, 1999, ceremonies were performed for the liberation of ancestors.  Ancestors are to return tot he physical world so that the evil spirit world will be dissipated and the good spirit world of the original creation is opened up.
    Blessed families are to become Divine Tribal Messiahs and after educating their descendants and tribe in Wolli Boncheron and the absolute sex teaching, bless them and guide them to do hoon dok (gathering for reading and learning with the Eight Great Textbooks) at home. In this way, blessed families should bring their ancestors who have returned from SW and all the members of their earthly clan to become God’s children and together drive out, from both the SW and the PW, the evil forces that center on Satan, thus accomplishing the world of God’s creation ideal.

The portion of responsibility is necessary until you reach maturity. After you reach maturity and become a young adult, everything is finished. Once you enter the realm of love that is the realm of direct dominion. (198-371, 1990.2.11)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 776

When people look at things based on their own perspective, they seem to have hope, but still they lack the hope necessary to move them through the valley of death. People are passing away without having that kind of hope. Is our model of life one in which we have to die with lack of hope? Or will we search for a single hope through which we can scorn death and conquer it, and still live while enjoying that hope? This is a very important issue about which people who live on earth today have to think. (6-45, 1959.3.22)

    In Las Vegas, True Father proclaimed several important providential milestones.
    The Coronation Ceremony for the Realm of Liberation of God, the King of
Kings was held in Korea on January 15, 2009, and again in both Korea and the United States on January 31, 2009.  Hyung Jin Moon and his wife, Yeon Ah Moon, received crowns, representing True Parents.  Hyung Jin explained on January 17, 2009 that “it’s very important theologically that there won’t be any future kings, but everybody that’s truly supporting the activities of True Parents, truly, truly the co-owners of our church traditions, those people are the ones that will be able to bring glory to God.”  Up until this event was held, God recognized the satanic world sovereignties of Cain and Abel, divided by the fall, but after the Coronation Ceremony for Realm of Liberation of God, the King of Kings, was held, he cannot recognize or acknowledge the Cain and Abel sovereignties of the satanic world.  Only the sovereignty of God, the King of Kings, is recognized.     South Korea was declared as god’s fatherland and homeland. 
    True Father and True Parents proclaimed and carried out rallies titled “Cosmic Rally for Proclaiming the Substantial Word of the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind” and bequeathed the Eight Great Textbooks.
    True Father, in May 2010, made special proclamations:
    Proclamation and offering of the Era of Full Transcendence, Full Imminence, Full Authority and Omnipotence on the standard of the Completion, Conclusion and Finalization after True Parents Couple have achieved the Final Oneness and
    Proclamation of the handing over to S. Korea of the ceremony for the victory of the 1st ,2nd and 3rd Israels for the conclusion of the Rebirth & Resurrection Sung Hwa Ceremony (Eternal Life) during the time of the life course.
    Foundation Day (January 13, 2013, Heavenly and Lunar Calendar) was declared on January 13, 2010. Foundation Day is the day that True Parents would be completely victorious, internally and externally.

The Era after the Coming of Heaven Has Arrived

    God’s ideal for His Kingdom on earth can be established for the first time in the place where heaven is established on the family level. This must become a four-position foundation.
    In the Unification Principle, the perfection of the ideal of creation is the perfection of the four position foundation. Why is that so? The four-position foundation is established when the world of vertical relationships and horizontal relationships are created through three stages centering on God, Adam and Eve.
    The horizontal world can unfold only through Adam and Eve’s sons and daughters. When this happens, the vertical world is naturally formed. Considering the body, the children are the horizontal basis of the body, and the spirit world is the horizontal basis of the mind.
    As God is able to be present there for the first time, the Kingdom of Heaven is manifested on the earth. (96-28, 1978.1.1)

    You know yourself more than God knows you. Therefore, we do not need the Lord of judgment. Actually, we do not need a God of judgment. Your conscience knows best. In the light of this fundamental rule, how much you have contributed with the purpose of bringing liberation based on the liberated standard will be measured accordingly. You would know if you are authentic or fake. Would you know or not? If you don’t, there is no hope. If you don’t, you have to go to the public cemetery, you would have to go into the waste bin, or be driven into the Pacific Ocean on a raft. That’s something hard to handle.

    The Celebratory Rally Proclaiming the Cosmic Victory of True Parents was proclaimed in 1999 in the United States and in Korea. 
    On January 13, 2001, the Coronation Ceremony for God’s Kingship was conducted under the True Parent’s direction. The year 2001, when God’s Kingship was restored, was the beginning of the 3rd millennium and marks a new start for God’s providence centering on True Parents. After 6000 years since the fall of Adam and Eve, the kingship of God was established, and the ideal of Cheon IL Guk began centering on True Parents.
    Proclamation of Cheon IL Guk was made at noon on True Children’s Day, the first day of the 10th lunar month, 2001. The ideal of CIG starts with the establishment of God’s authority as king and centering on the blessed families. The CIG era arrives centering on blessed families.
    The Cheon Seong Gyeong, one of the eight books of holy scriptures designated by True Father, was offered to God on April 18, 2004.  On April 19th, 2004, True Father proclaimed that the Sabbath day would now be celebrated on the 8the day of each week.  This new Heavenly Calendar is supported by the lunar and solar calendars
   The Era After the Coming of Heaven began on May 5, 2004 at the proclamation of Ssanghap Ship Seung IL  (Victory of Ten Combining Two Parts).  True Father explained that the Era After Heaven’s Arrival is the era of the providence of restoration when True Parents do not require indemnity.
   The Universal Peace Federation was inaugurated in New York City on September 12, 2005.  True Father also proclaimed the inauguration of the UPF in Washington, DC on September 23, 2005.  Stacey and I were there, and we recorded that speech.  You can  listen to the audio and read the transcription here.
   In this speech, True Father also announced the formation of the Peace Kingdom Corps and the Peace Kingdom Police Force, which are dual missions. This corps, which is not a militarized corps, but an education corps, was substantially started in October, 2005 in Kiev, Ukraine, with both Russian and Ukrainian youth invited to join.  See this speech.
    These two forces were created to protect the Blessed Families of the world and create a peaceful world centering on God.

Satan Surrendered Naturally to the True Parent

    It is the same with religion. How did religions begin? Saints founded all of the religions. They are the lords of the religions. They all started out from positions where they could receive instruction from God through practicing devotion and reaching an enlightened state; however, after the religions developed to a higher level, they became more and more secularized.
    That is why there are no religious organizations that can guide this world out of its whirlpool of confusion and onto the proper path with very clear and essential guidelines. There are religious systems within regions, but there is no religious system that can embrace and solve the situation of the entire world.
    Religions have all completed their tests. All have been tested. Politics and all the various ideologies have been tested. They have all performed disappointingly. All have reached a limit that not one can go beyond. (253-13, 1994.1.1)

    Under Your guidance, Heavenly Father, from this day forward we can begin to reverse Satan’s threats and intimidation. He has been cutting people down, dragging them to the scaffold, and dooming them to hell. We welcome the era of freedom and liberation in which families blessed in the spirit world can come to their descendants to inspire them and reprimand them in turn to lead them, by force if necessary, to heaven rather than hell.

True Father, who is the Messiah, brings True Love (the seed) and the teaching of the Principle.
(1) Principle Teaching
(2) Absolute Sex Family Education
(3) Blessing Marriage (International Mass Weddings, World Exchange Blessings)
The Blessing is the resolution of original sin and changing of the fallen bloodline of Satan by True Parents, resulting in the inheritance of God’s lineage.
    True Father, Rev. Moon globalized the Blessing of marriage leading up to 1997.  Millions of couples received the Blessing of marriage.  Father bequeathed to humanity the tradition of ‘Hoon Dok Hwe’, studying and living the teachings of True Father in 1997.  The Unification Church was dissolved, and the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification started on August 31, 1996.  Many other providential speaking tours and ceremonies were performed between 1994 and 1999.
    Upon this victorious foundation, Satan naturally surrendered to True Parents on March 21, 1999 in the Pantanal. Satan, who tormented God and refused to surrender for 6000 years even though he betrayed God and caused Adam and Eve to fall, finally, for the first time, surrendered naturally to the True Parent.
