Motto: “To be proud of and to love True God absolutely is to complete the 360 Million Couples Blessing and eradicate the blood lineage of the satanic world.”
True Father’s prayer midnight of January 1 1998 in Punta Del Este Uruguay
BELOVED Father! Today is the very first hour to welcome the new year of 1998. Today we sent off 1997 and welcomed the new year. In the world of Your heart every plan beginning from now on is for the liberation of all families of the world. I am really thankful that we can have a new year in which we can march forward to attend heaven.
Last year, the foundation of the Blessing of 40 million couples was accomplished, based upon the 3.6 million couples and the 36 million couples connected to the growth stage victory. From today, the families of all humankind should settle down, focused on the remaining 360 million couples, centering upon absolute sex-which is God’s ideal of creation-and the couple’s relationship centered on absolute love.
God has walked a historical path of recreation, due to the loss of the ideal family, throughout the many historical processes leading towards the fulfillment of the religious aspirations of the Old Testament Age, New Testament Age, and Completed Testament Age, for the restoration of the standard of the original family through the path of indemnity. For the above reasons, all human beings cannot avoid begging for Your mercy.
There was a foundation of tens of millions of years of persecution and of public fighting in order to send True Parents to a chaotic world. Then True Parents were received on earth. In 1945, centering on the victory of the 2000-year realm of Christian culture, the circumstances after World War II represented the spiritual situation of the Eve nation, Abel nation, and Cain nation. At the same time, the external Eve, Abel, and Cain nations had been confronted so that the victorious foundation could be retained, and Jesus was able to rule over the spiritual world.
On this foundation, the third Adam came and indemnified everything and tried to bring the world to the family level. But because Catholics and Protestants could not make unity and because of the opposition of Christianity, this forty-year history of restoration was a bloody one, centering on the Unification Church. Having been sent to people who did not know anything, True Parents had to go through a suffering course. We had become people that You could not even imagine according to Your Will.
I know very well how sorrowfully You faced this sad day. I also know the sorrow of True Parents, who had to work hard until they fulfilled their responsibility, which was to establish the victorious foundation in 185 nations centering on Korea, Japan, America and Germany within forty years.
With this victorious foundation today, we have gone beyond the watershed of the Blessing of 3.6 million couples and 36 million couples on the worldwide level. Centering upon the Blessing of 360 million couples, the completion of the family identical to Adam’s family in the realm of human liberation occurred through the public hard work of heavenly Parents and earthly Parents, thus gaining the approval for this time of Blessing. I am really thankful for Your grace and permission to connect this to humankind.
To keep the final vertical period, centering on all humankind and with the Blessing of 360 million couples, we want to march forward from this moment on throughout all of 1988 and accomplish this life-or-death mission, going over the peak of han to accomplish Your final wish in the providential history of salvation, which is to cut off the blood lineage of the satanic world.
Everyone in the helpful spiritual world, including the angelic world centering on God and the ancestors who stand in the position of saints representing the angelic world, absolutely must become one with the “Declaration of the Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath for Parents of Heaven and Earth,” which can bring resurrection to earth. Thus You can appear on earth. I am really thankful for the grace through which we can receive
the whole body, the entire direction, the absolute power, authority and omnipotence, in this time period in which we can completely liberate and indemnify the han of the Fall at the beginning of history.
Please grant that all families which were blessed within a heartistic relationship centering on True Parents may be one and may be an absolute object before an absolute subject-which is what heaven desires-with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Thereafter, as heaven wishes, they can establish the victorious Kingdom of Heaven in the heavenly world and the earthly world.
We are grateful to welcome this day centering on all men and women on this beach. We are grateful to come to this central workshop place on this 31st True God’s Day in the midst of nature, receiving this water which can connect heaven and earth. We are also grateful for this grace that can hold this memory in heaven and on earth as the condition of grace through which Your heavenly Blessing can be one with earth and can be connected to all humankind. We are having rain at this moment, over the five oceans and six continents which connect all the land and water in the world. I fervently desire and ask You to please pour down abundantly the unification grace.
With such a blessing from God, we welcome the new year 1998, and the 31st True God’s Day. The accomplishment of the Blessing of 360 million couples will bring the liberation of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, which can cut off the satanic blood lineage. Please grant the appearance of the Kingdom of Heaven where we can praise the victory and glory of the realm of the fourth Adam. I fervently ask and desire Your permission to establish one victorious way for the Unification soldiers to march forward, looking for the grace of Blessing with the whole body, the entire direction, absolute power and authority, and omnipotence.
Father, the bright year 1998 has come to us. I fervently ask and desire Your permission so that everyone can be victorious soldiers and determine their minds, stretch out their bodies, and embrace the universe with all their hearts, engrafting the whole universe to the lovely original palace with filial piety before God, together with all things, children and parents.
As we receive this glorious new year, we start a new day and a new year at the same time. I fervently ask and desire Your permission that everyone can leave the seed which can connect 365 days to the Father’s glorious day.
Father! I fervently ask that the Blessing of this year that came with a promise can fully pour out the realm of heavenly victory in heaven and on earth. I ask Your permission for victory to be declared at this moment and for congratulations to be given in the name of God and in the name of True Parents at the same time when the continuity of grace is bound together. I declare and pray this in the name of True Parents. Amen! Amen! Amen!III
