Special Invitational Christmas Luncheon Hosted by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind held on December 25, 2023, Cheon Jeong Gung, Korea
True Mother’s Message
Merry Christmas!
The song I asked the True Family to sing today comes from the time when I was a young girl with many dreams and decided to follow the path of True Parents. There followed a period of fifty or sixty years during which period we conducted activities for the global providence, centered on the United States. Notably, when we celebrated Christmas, I would think of how my unspoken, difficult circumstances mirrored the unspoken circumstances of Jesus’ heart. I wonder why Lee Mi-ja’s song particularly touched my heart—why this song came to mind after sixty years, having returned to Korea and begun the providence here.
In Christian culture, particularly in the Catholic Church, Mary is honored as the Holy Mother. I am not sure how Jesus Christ was conceived and given birth by the Holy Spirit, and what difficulties there were around the time when Jesus Christ was born, but there is the story of the wise men who saw a star and visited the place where Jesus was born. But since Mary was probably not illiterate, how could there be no record of the birth of Jesus? This is something I really don’t understand. For Jesus to succeed in his earthly responsibility, he needed the active cooperation of those close to him, but Mary, Zacharias’ family, and even the Jewish leaders and the people did not know Jesus’ identity and essence.
Ultimately, because the environment that needed to be completed for him on earth was lost, Jesus had no option but to die on the cross, whereupon he said he would return and then hold the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The meaning of Jesus’ original essence is that he was the Only Begotten Son, whom Heavenly Parent could relate with in the fallen world, and whom He could call “My Son”. According to the principles of Creation, the Only Begotten Son should not be alone, right? However, at that time, there was no Only Begotten Daughter. Jesus said clearly that he would return. The one who was meant to become the True Father of humanity had to go to the cross, leaving the people with indemnity to resolve. That is why Heaven had to work to find another chosen people to whom to send the Only Begotten Daughter. The Only Begotten Daughter must be born on a foundation of Christian faith.
So God brought the Only Begotten Daughter to be born to the Korean people in 1943. The one that the Christians must seek out in the present time is the Only Begotten Daughter. Only when the Only Begotten Daughter is born can the Messiah, who promised to return, appear. Do you understand?
The truth of the providence is that since I made my determination and participated in the Holy Wedding on the 16th day of the 3rd month in 1960, many blessed families have been born. However, we cannot say that the providence was carried out perfectly. It was a wilderness course. It is the mission of True Parents, after proclaiming Foundation Day and the founding year of Cheon Il Guk in 2013, to create the environment where people can attend the Creator, Heavenly Parent, on earth.
That is why I had to fulfill the condition that, throughout the world, seven religious orders, seven nations, and a continent were restored. What is more, I began this from a Muslim nation. We held a Blessing Ceremony in True Parents’ name in a Muslim Nation. When I stated that I am the Only Begotten Daughter, they welcomed me. I don’t know if they understood the providence, but they said that they needed the Only Begotten Daughter. They welcomed me wherever I went and gave me the title “Mother of Peace.”
You all need to be aware of this: What do we need to do after the firm settlement of Cheon Il Guk? We must dedicate the Holy Sanctum wherein we attend Heavenly Parent. We dedicated that this year and I have said that in 2025 we will have the Entrance Ceremony. I say this because Cheonbo couples, blessed families, and citizens that attend Heavenly Parent must do so in the position of creating the environment on a national and global level. Do you understand?
Therefore, all of you leaders gathered here should be absolutely united with me, and take action with one heart and one will to expand the environment whereby Heavenly Parent can work freely, beginning from this country and expanding to the world.
The first, second, and third generations must mobilize. The time for the completion of the providence has come, and the True Parents, whom people have yearned to see for so long, have finally appeared on earth. However, for those who do not know this and who simply let it pass by, we can only imagine how much they will lament when they reach the spirit world. This is why we must educate and teach people. Do you understand?
We need to set right what went wrong with the Christian foundation. We need to make it clear that Christianity’s true essence is in creating an environment in which the True Parents can be attended. Christianity, in coming from a position of opposing us, must repent. We must emphasize that the Christian realm, the religious realm, and the world itself must align with the Only Begotten Daughter, the Mother of Peace and the True Parents, and show that only by moving forward in this way can there be hope for the future of humanity and the future of the Earth. You will do that, right?
It is my prayer that you will experience deeply and profoundly at this hour, on this day, what a happy position you are in to live at the same time as me and to also feel and understand deeply the circumstances of Jesus and True Mother.
[After concluding her main message, True Mother called David Eaton to the stage and presented him with a plaque recognizing his contributions:]
When True Parents conducted the providence centered on the United States, we embarked on a speaking tour in all fifty states to further expand the environment for outreach. We founded and toured with the Go World Brass Band. At that time, we worked with David Eaton, who is now on his way to 80 years of age.
In proclaiming the founding year of Cheon Il Guk, things we had not been able to do for some time, such as create holy songs… and as members are living after that 2,000-year period, right? The Christian realm has produced many well-known hymns over time. In the same way, don’t we also need a history of holy songs and hymns in the era of Cheon Il Guk, the era of True Parents?
Therefore, I asked David Eaton to come to Korea, to experience the heart here at Cheon Won Complex, to picture himself living here together with me, and to write songs based on that vision. Due to his age and the fact that he has lived apart from his family, I am allowing him to return to the United States for now. Keeping the hope that he can continue to actively produce the songs that should be created for the Entrance Ceremony in 2025, today I am presenting David Eaton with this plaque.
