On Thursday July 8, 2010 True Parents hosted a special event at the Cheon Jeong Peace Palace, the Convention to Proclaim the Embodiment of God’s Word and the Era of the Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. Two thousand members came from overseas to attend, including some 640 from Europe and 130 from the United States. Father’s prepared speech, around which the program revolved, was a development on one he has given at Seunghwa Festivals on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. He had added a special proclamation in its final paragraphs. A translation of True Father’s proclamation of that day is reproduced here.
Ladies and gentlemen, in Las Vegas, the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind made a special proclamation centered on God on two separate days—one part at 2:20 am on the 8th day of the 5th month of the heavenly calendar (June 19, 2010) and the other at 3:25 am, on the 15th day of the 5th month of the heavenly calendar (June 26, 2010).
The number 3 from 3:25 am represents the three eras from the saying “Success comes at the third attempt.” It also symbolizes the Old, New and Completed Testament ages. Twenty-five minutes, or the number 25, is a quarter of a hundred. The True Parents have achieved ultimate unity, and they have offered and proclaimed the era of [God’s] full transcendence, full immanence, full authority and omnipotence upon the standard of perfection, completion and conclusion.
Furthermore, with the Seunghwa Ceremony for former United States secretary of state General Alexander Haig, I proclaimed that the ceremony for the victory of the first, second, and third Israels, which completed the ceremony for rebirth, resurrection and seunghwa during my lifetime, was transferred to Korea. As a result, God’s homeland and hometown is now Korea. By proclaiming that Korea is God’s homeland, the Convention to Proclaim the Embodiment of God’s Word and the Era of the Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind[1] can be completed in Korea. This has been declared on July 8.
Through this proclamation ceremony, all the borderlines in the entire cosmos have been abolished. Consequently, centering on the autonomous God, heaven and earth shall exist eternally, night and day, under God’s reign and with the support of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.
Distinguished guests, at this serious and important time, a revolutionary and cosmic change must now take place in your lives. Let us summarize the message Heaven has given to us today in light of this.
First, all blessed families should first attend God at the center of their families and carry out daily hoondok education, which can fully unite parents and children. In other words, you should thoroughly teach the Divine Principle, the heavenly textbooks and teaching materials True Parents have bequeathed, True Father’s autobiography, and absolute sexual ethics taught through the Original Divine Principle.
Second, Heaven has permitted the grace of the realm of seunghwa for rebirth and resurrection to be bestowed on the family unit. Here, a requisite condition is the complete unity between parents and children. In other words, you must establish the standard for absolute parents and absolute children, and establish an absolute family.
Third, humankind has moved out of the realm of the era of restoration through indemnity, thanks to the grace of True Parents who have suffered hardships through which they sweat blood. Therefore, do not forget that during True Parents’ lifetimes we all have the responsibility to liberate families, tribes, peoples, nations and the world from the realm of hell. Now that the era of restoration through indemnity has ended, what kind of era is dawning? The reign of tranquility and prosperity in the victorious realm centered on God and True Parents shall be eternal.
Fourth, we are now entering the era of God’s direct dominion. Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that less than three years remain until the D-day Heaven has proclaimed. I beg that you inscribe in your hearts the fact that we have entered the era of the realm of the cosmic Sabbath in which your family members in the spirit world shall return to the earth to receive Original Divine Principle education, and where eight generations will live together and share joy as a single family. Aju!
