Father’s speech at Jeon-ban and Jeon-neung Declaration Day Declared on the Third 7.8 Jeol, the Declaration Day of the Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath for the Parents of Heaven and Earth held on August 17, 1999 in Kodiak, Alaska
Repeat after me: May Yahweh become the Victorious True Parent. [May Yahweh become the Victorious True Parent.] May Yahweh become the Victorious True Teacher. [May Yahweh become the Victorious True Teacher.] May Yahweh become the True King of Kings. [May Yahweh become the True King of Kings.] True Parents on earth will uphold and attend the subject ideology of the three blessings. [True Parents on earth will uphold and attend the subject ideology of the three blessings.]
Let’s have three cheers of Mansei. Heavenly Father Mansei! True Parents Mansei! Chil Pal Jeol [Day of Eight Sevens] liberation, and victory of the realm of liberation of jeon-kwon, jeon-neung, jeon-chae, jeon-ban, Mansei! (Applause)
Today is the day of jeon-chae, jeon-ban, jeon-kwon, jeon-neung. Today is being proclaimed as the day when God can do such things. I ask you to believe that everything around you will work toward perfection if you have absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. Do you follow? [Yes.] What proclamation have we made today? [The day of jeon-chae, jeon-ban, jeon-kwon, jeon-neung.] God, Yahweh, made this possible. Yahweh God was oppressed and persecuted for taking responsibility for His children’s hardships, and for saving and forgiving them. Now He has gone beyond all of that. We have entered the era when God is proclaiming that He can freely do as He wishes.
I am saying that there is nothing to worry about. Leave everything up to God. Leave everything. Have absolute faith. Do you understand this? I leave everything to God. Absolute faith, absolute love, absolute obedience: I stand beyond all of these. Even God Himself cannot touch these. If you understand these tenets as our final motto and follow them exactly, you will always bring victory in everything you do. Amen. [Amen.]
The Jeon-ban and Jeon-neung Declaration
You should love Kodiak. [Yes.] South America and Kodiak are connected. The Original Focus Holy Ground, the Root Holy Ground and the Victory Holy Ground are all connected. When you pass through number three and go to number four, everything is concluded. The same for Unification Church proclamations. The remaining ones, the one nation proclamation, the national unity proclamation, and the all of heaven and earth proclamation will all be achieved when we proclaim them based on our own sovereignty. (Applause. Chil Pal Jeol chukha hamnida!)
Jeon-chae has meant the entire world, the entire satanic world. Jeon-chae [indicating God’s transcendence of all things, or at least a vertical and inclusive relationship] and jeon-ban [indicating God’s immanence, presence in all things, or at least a more horizontal, expansive presence] are becoming one. Jeon-kwon [having all sovereignty/authority] has been the absolute power in the satanic world. Satan could do anything since he had the nations. That is not jeon-neung [being all-capable, omnipotent]. Jeon-kwon is now connected to heaven and it leads us into the world of unification and true authority. Jeon-chae and jeon-ban are becoming one.
Next is jeon-kwon: we have seen the era when the satanic world uses its full capability. The era of unification and capability. Therefore, the physical and spiritual worlds centered on jeon-chae, jeon-ban, jeon-kwon and God should become one. When God created, He maintained absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Since we have come back to the original state of creation on the foundation of jeon-chae, jeon-ban, jeon-kwon, and jeon-neung we should also have a heart of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. With that heart, we should invest and forget, in the same way that God has done for us. We should be absolutely faithful, absolutely loving and absolutely obedient when it comes to giving to this world on behalf of God. We should give as if we are giving away treasures from a store. Since everything will be one, the world will be unified and find eternal peace. That is the conclusion.
The entire satanic world, the Old and New Testament ages and the entire Completed Testament age are sacrificial offerings. Everything has been divided, one by one. This was followed by Satan exercising jeon-neung. God, even, has been in chains, and True Parents were pulled out of their dominion. We all can be liberated from such a reality as the era of capability comes. And the unifying creation, the creation on earth and creation in heaven will be actualized. Amen.
Now we have had Chil Pal (7.8) Jeol, Heaven-and-Earth Parentism, and True Parentism. [Father mentions some Korean letters common to the declarations.] They are all connected. Heaven and earth will be connected. What proclamation day is it today? Leaving out jeon-chae and jeon-kwon it is the Declaration Day of Jeon-ban and Jeon-neung.
Because everything until now has been divided in the satanic world, we are proclaiming this in the name of Yahweh. Since this is done at True Parents’ request in the name of Yahweh, you should understand that this canon will stand forever as the mark of the heavenly world.
What day is today? If we put aside jeon-chae and jeon-kwon, it is the Declaration Day of Jeon-ban and Jeon-neung. And not in Satan’s world: the Declaration Day of Jeon-ban and Jeon-neung just for Heaven.
We should love the water, love the sea and love the fish in the sea. The only things we can offer God as a whole offering—without their needing to be divided for sanctification—-are the fish, which are free of any kind of judgement. So I have offered them to God intact. As an offering, you should spare the first one you catch. You should not kill it. At the time of Noah, the only animals free of judgement were the fish. However, all things, sons, families, heaven and earth all are under Satan’s accusation. Since the entire world is under Satan’s accusation, we should free ourselves before the unified realm of liberation is established in order for God to be free of accusation. We should go beyond the limitations of jeon-chae, jeon-ban, jeon-kwon and jeon-neung.
Transcend barriers of nation and culture
I began to speak about this four years ago. True Parents requested to have this Declaration Day of Jeon-ban and Jeon-neung. Since God proclaimed it, Satan and all things are under that command. At the time of creation, God created us with a heart of absolute love and absolute obedience. On such a foundation, the Unification Church has served the heavenly parents and earthly parents, in the name of parents, with a heart of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. We can start a nation of the dominion of love by establishing the unified victory of all things centered on the ideal love of creation. Do you understand what I mean? Today is a meaningful day.
That is why there should be one nation under one God’s dominion. Centered on God, you should build up a nation that is worldwide and unified on this earth, before and on behalf of True Parents. It is time to make a money offering. Do you know what I mean? [Yes.] I should not help you with the money from my own pocket now. We should follow Heaven’s will. Therefore, Korea should fulfill Korea’s responsibility. Japan should fulfill Japan’s responsibility and the United States should fulfill the United States’ responsibility. These three nations are one nation. Parent nations and elder brother nation. Do you understand? [Yes.] Until now, the right of the fallen first born was restored to the younger brother. So Satan could absolutely not believe God regarding the elder brother, and could not establish the elder brother. The same for younger brothers. Through a determination of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, the perfection of the ideal of creation of God, who holds dominion, can be realized.
There must be no ego. When God created, He had no conception of His own ego, of Himself. He wanted to be the master of love. If things had gone well, He would have become so. Therefore, there cannot be “my own nation”, “my own things”, “my own house”, “my own tribe.” You should be able to go beyond your own national border. You should have such spiritual strength in you. Your family should be an exemplary family that lives for the world and heaven and earth. If you don’t live such a life, you cannot be God’s children. You cannot belong to God.
An era of change and inheritance
From now, we all should speak one language. It is a shame for you to need translation to read the records of your own parents. You may have to indemnify this over many years when you go to the spirit world. Those who cannot go beyond this will not be able to go back to their own hometowns even on the day of the liberation of their own country. You will have no residency as a citizen of your country. You are not listed. It is a serious matter. Do you understand?
When you meet me, you should greet me in Korean. When you have meals, you cannot just talk in your own language. You should be silent and ashamed. It is natural to learn your own parents’ language. Babies learn their parents’ language within some months. Do you understand? [Yes.] The cultures and backgrounds you are used to are your enemies. You must cut off from them. What you cannot cut off from will remain as your own, your tribe’s and your nation’s indemnity.
Jardim is the original land. It is the original land in which creation itself has been gathered together as if in one museum. It is the land of original focus. You must go and shed blood and tears for more than three years in that place, which all the original and primary things of creation inhabit. It is there that we must labor for three years. Why? For the sake of the restoration of the fatherland, in water. Since the world symbolizes water, you must understand this in the same way that True Parents have established it through the ideology of determining to build the Kingdom of Heaven within water. We will soon go beyond the global era. The age that is divided centering on the continent has therefore passed. Since now is the age of the Internet, and the age in which national secrets and other information was controlled has gone, when we look at any one nation, we can know everything about the world. Nothing can be hidden.
Why would these things be revealed? Even when something about an individual group is revealed, this is not for the sake of the individual but for the celebration of the realm of liberation, the realm of liberation of the Kingdom of Heaven, for the liberation of humankind. The celebration party must be the one which can unite centering on all the nations of the world. So burn everything away, and on a new earth among God’s glory, put the idea of the unified Kingdom of Heaven on earth on the Internet and all people of the world of all nations will want to praise it eternally. They will want to live there eternally and will cry for it, missing it. The environment in which this will happen would be the Kingdom of God on earth. The Kingdom of God in heaven. Amen. Say Amen. [Amen!]
Where will you go from here? You must go to the Kingdom of Heaven. When you go to the Kingdom of Heaven, you must change the cultural background against which you have lived until now. This is like changing clothes centering on the relationship of blood lineage with True Parents. Without being able to pass through True Parents’ nation, there is no way to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Can you go there according to your free will? It does not matter whether you are second generation or not. With a whip, God and True parents must resolve their sorrowful hearts. You can become a people who can inherit from and live with God only by showing that you are determined to go through many more hardships than God and True Parents have gone through. You must understand this clearly.
Education in a new age
Don’t think about meeting True Father. I have to go to the people who are leading an ascetic life in the Himalayas and educate them. I have the responsibility to educate and guide the ascetics to heaven. Seen from the viewpoint of people who live only according to their own free will, they are living as they would be in the spirit world. The place where these devoted people live is like the spirit world on earth. These people must not be thrown away like garbage.
Even though True Father gave directions, if you worry about your own sons and daughters, and if you demand to use your own land for your self saying that it belongs to you, you are all thieves. You should know this. I have told you so many times and yet you don’t even seem to move. If you are told to even offer your house and everything, offer it before God. Did you think how prepared it must be to offer them to God? The era in which True Parents were present to build bridges in front you is passing.
You should know that if God’s anger is kindled there is only way of ordeals. You must not go to the schools of the satanic world. That is why I have created schools up from kindergarten, elementary school and middle school. I have even founded a university. Education must be done with True Parents. In this world people talk about Harvard University but Harvard University kicked God out. There is no need to study about this world on earth. Everything can be recorded if you have a computer. You don’t need to know about it. If you put it in the computer you can find out about whatever you want to know about. Is now such and age or not? I can refer to all the materials in hundreds and thousands of different libraries. It is the same as having it in our heads. We have no need to learn these things. True love is the realm of unification. Now such a terrifying age will come.
The leader of Japan is not Mr. Otsuka, but Sun Jo Hwang. Otsuka has the role of Vice President. Moreover, Jeong Og Yu is an advisor to the two and a mediator for Father`s world peace efforts. Jeong Og Yu is Kook Jin`s father-in-law. Even though Otsuka is the leader, Rev. Yu should be bold enough to ask “What is he doing? Will he hurt someone by doing that?!”
True love sets up the Principle. Love also harmonizes with the law of the Principle. Love is above the Principle, isn`t it? Freedom also is above the Principle, in the realm of dominion of the Principle. It does not deny the Principle. This is the same with Father.
After attending Mother I did not pray for 20 years out of the 40-year course. Why? Because I knew, and taught everything. There was no more necessity for it. This is the first time I have openly said that. Starting from August last year I started again praying. Even Mother thought it was strange not to pray and then to start again.
From that time onwards the world had to be brought under control. Only if that happens can substantial restoration come about. The principle is true, isn`t it? Jesus brought complete victory on the spiritual substantial level and I had to bring victory on the physical substantial family level without the help of the spiritual world. I knew all this myself. Therefore even God has no need to give me orders.
The realm of family liberation can be reached only through Father. Only True Parents implemented a truce in all the fighting with Satan centered on the family. Even God could not bring such a truce about. But even after hearing these words you people just think that these are the words of a phantom. Even though Father has given every ounce of his energy and even pushed himself to the marrow of his bones, fighting through all sorts of hardships, you are just living comfortably. Let`s see whether you live well or not! Let`s see whether the 36 couples live well or not! Let`s see how it will turn out! From now on the time has come in which one can volunteer or withdraw. Do you understand? God does not need people without accomplishments—accomplishments centered on love. Therefore no-one can go to the Kingdom of Heaven without having made 36, 72, 120 families and gaining dominion over the tribe. If you cannot do this, you cannot register. This conforms with the Principle.
From now on, only people with results will be able to gather here. Not just anyone can ride with Father on the boat. Because the Completed Testament age is an era when it is possible to go beyond perfection, those who manifest absolute faith, love and obedience according to the Principle will be able to climb up on the foundation of the realm of God`s ideal of creation and become the chosen people of global peace and unification. The chosen people are not selected from the existing chosen people. Because the Israelites, Christians and so forth could not fulfill the responsibility of the chosen people, the new chosen ones have to be selected from amongst the people of the whole world. You have to know that I am working to accomplish this. You must wake up!
I have said that Korea, Japan and America are like one nation, haven`t I? If the Japanese prime minister, the Korean president and American president unite, there will be unification on earth and in heaven. Isn`t that so? Therefore if father and son become one then the family can be the son`s family as well as the father`s. Neither the father nor the son can do it by himself. How can the son become part of the father`s family and the father part of the son`s family by force? Father and son have to become one. Isn`t it so that mother and son had become one for the sake of restoration? From now on, the unity between father and child will make everything possible.
The authority of the husband is not that of the archangel. It is the authority of love. Also, there is nothing that Mother does not know. We confer about everything before a decision is made.
Everybody thinks they cannot defeat Father when fishing, but you think you can do better than Mother, don`t you? (Laughter). Therefore, even if you follow Mother, you eventually come to look for Father. Mother stands in two positions. There is the position of the mother and the position of the son. Therefore I am also saying Omoni to mother. If the mother needs to breastfeed the baby, is she allowed to do so or not?
Because Satan cannot do anything within the substantial realm, he slashes around with a knife in all directions—north, south, east and west—and as he cuts people`s throats, everything falls. It is a fallen world that cannot put love above life and chastity above love. One has to give up one`s life for love. Even though when we gives up our life for the sake of keeping our chastity some han remains, we cannot allow love to be destroyed. You have to know that this is a principle of heavenly law in the Unification Church that attends heaven. You cannot simply do as you please.
Be a revolutionary unto yourself
Father is not an educated person. He is someone who can control his own body. A disciplined person. If he were not, he could not be a son of God. We can only understand the heart of God if we have the heart to send one’s loved one before one’s enemy and hope that enemy can love that person instead of me. When I went to Kim Paek Moon’s Israel church, I embraced Kim Paek Moon. You cannot love only your wife. If you cannot go beyond that level, you cannot be God’s children.
Try it through being tickled. No matter how ticklish you may feel, you should be able to resist laughing. I did not blink my eyes for three hours once. So I overcame the number three! I have trained myself in such a manner. No matter how beautiful a woman allures you, you must not go over the line. Otherwise, you cannot build the individual, familial, clan, tribal, national and universal tradition of heaven.
The world is in a mess. That is why we have to protect each other. Do you understand? If I see someone fall, he might as well have died first. You should clearly understand that such behaviors create enormous resentments in history. I can be like the severest whip you can ever imagine. Can you go to nice places just as you wish? You should follow the path of indemnity. I never thought of just going as I wished. The path is the 180 degree opposite way. How can you think of your life (of suffering) of just a few decades in front of God who has suffered through eternity? How unfilial could you be? You should understand the reality clearly and be inheritors of the realm of jeon-chae and jeon-ban. You must win over the satanic world, over Satan’s dominion.
If national messiahs fulfill their responsibility they can come and live on the land in South America. There are many houses. There is no worry about what to eat. The Amazonian indians eat breakfast and lunch in different places. With one fork and one knife in their pocket, they go out to fill their stomachs. Poisonous spiders are what they like best. Two poisonous spiders can fill you up. Are you excited? [Yes!] If I cannot catch them, I will have you catch them. There will be nothing to complain about. With all the foundation being made, you are in the very happy position where you can move around in the Pantanal or Amazon like the ancestors of the indians.
You should be brave from now on and then what? If you are brave and then you should be daring. You should be people who can deal with matters bravely and daringly. Will you or not? Those who will, raise both of your hands. Lower your hands. [Referring to his plan to exchange leaders between Japan and the USA] From today, there will be a big switching around of personnel. From today. We have to cross over 50 hills to exchange 50 people. Do you want to stay on the summits of 50 mountains? Shall we stop right before the fiftieth hill or shall we go over it? [Go over it!]
If you educate teenagers, kindergarten pupils, elementary school students, middle and high school students as foundations for the natural surrender, then that nation will be the heavenly nation. So, what kind of education? Purity education. What kind of matching together? Pure love matching. Since the match in the garden of Eden was wrong, it is now the era of matching properly.
You have to protect your brothers and sisters while loving them more than your own physical brothers and sisters. What do you have to protect them from? They did not protect each other in the Garden of Eden. However, we should protect each other to purify the nation and the world. What do you have to protect? Our families! That is why you must learn the Korean tradition.
The Americans should stay in Japan not for 20 days but for 40. Since all your positions are to be changed as soon as you arrive (in Japan), you should try preaching as Japanese leaders. And also Japanese should go to America and take on responsibilities there. You should learn how difficult it is to work through translators. You should understand that I have pioneered such path.
Our Unification members should learn not only Korean but also English and Japanese since they are languages of representative nations you need to know. The Japanese should learn the languages of their Father nation and Son nation. The Son nation (America) should learn the languages of the Mother and Father nations. Let Otsuka be in charge and have Japan work with Korea. Jeong Og Yu is a woman’s name. [To Rev. Yu:] Is the meaning of Yu a willow tree or an ax? [It means an ax.] The ax clan of the Yu tribe is known to be revolutionary. The Yu family is famous for being revolutionary. There was a man named Sang Yul Eu [an alternative spelling of the name also pronounced “yoo”] who was Hyo Won Eu’s uncle. He was put into the Shin Ui Joo prison for his involvement in the Mansei incident. He was such a radical. He was certain of his impending execution. He pulled his hands out of the handcuffs. His flesh was peeled off, and only the bones were left. Like that, he broke out of prison and ran off to Russia. We don’t know whether he lived or died. He was such a revolutionary. Hyo Won Eu was the same.
Promise me that you will be entirely different person from tomorrow, be the leaders for our nation’s liberation, be the select forces, the soldiers of the Independence Army. Do you understand? Even at the expense of your own families, you must save the world. To do that, you must lose your nation and your continent and fly high. I have prepared myself for that already. If have prepared myself so that I could stand before God with clear conscience even if I have to lose everything.
The path that remains
What kind of relationship is there between us? The relationship between parents and children is to be made by restoration through indemnity. It is the path you cannot follow without indemnity. So we offer conditions of indemnity. Eight stages of indemnity conditions. To inherit what I have pioneered, you should at least have your own history of tears. Even if you have carried thousands of pounds of sandbags to follow in my footsteps, it will still not be enough. Will you just walk right up without making any effort and be thieves?
You must make restoration through indemnity between parents and children. You have no idea how many times God tested me. He never praised me. No compliments at all. In the past, God taught me everything, however, I don’t even ask Him to now. I know my path. As I go onward little by little, the more difficult it becomes. All of you should leave your hometowns and make a foundation in the most difficult circumstances. That tradition must come back. All of your sons and daughters must come, too. Do you understand what I have said? I am telling you that such a path still remains for you.
