(Disclaimer: The following notes were taken quickly, by a makeshift shorthand, from an on-the-spot translation from Korean into English. The translator's name slips my mind, I hope to check my notes for that name soon. There may be many discrepancies between what I registered and what Father really said. Please read with prayer and contact me if you know of any corrections or deletions that should be made. For expediency sake I am posting without a thorough proof-reading. Hope to clean up this post, soon --- Carlton Johnson, transcriber)
The Inseparable Relationship became Separated
"God's Day" was designated to restore all glory and joy to God--the day to commemorate the True Parent's discovery and revealing of the suffering heart of God. The True God of The Cheon Seong Gyeon [The Cheon (Heaven's) Seong (Holy) Gyeon (Bible/Scriptures) ].
The time of establishing the pathway for God to come down to Earth--the path of God and Humanity's going on together--has been fulfilled. The Inseparable Relationship became separated. The global platform for rejoining what was separated must be constructed, not destroyed, that God might be always living together with us through the sharing of true love.
Had there been no fall of humanity, God would have appeared--with God assuming the body of Adam and Eve and governing the world. With the fall of man, God, an incorporeal being, could not assume the body of the first Adam and Eve as he had hoped. Only when the original ideal of the original blood lineage is consummated and multiplied can God freely assume the body of the restored Adam. In the future God will gladly appear in the form of Reverend Moon in the Spirit World.
What kind of 'person' is God?
God is the Original True Parent of humanity, but his position was usurped. Satan became the ancestor of humanity. Why did God not intervene? Humanity must make the condition to restore the fall. God had no recouse but to send them away. How sorrowful was the heart of God at the loss of his valuable children. No one knew the pain God had in His heart. Even Jesus was not aware, apparently--and if he were aware, he was not able to reveal as much in the words he left to humanity.
We have to liberate the heart of God. Still he is not liberated. He has lost everything to Satan. His heart has to be liberated. As is the nature of a parent, God cannot be at rest when his loving children have died and remain still in a realm of death. No. The liberation of All of his children is the prerequisite--the realm of liberation--wherein God can freely love all humanity. Therefore, we must liberate all Humankind, liberate the Spirit World, and thereby liberate God.
God is being restrained because of us. Satan is accusing God, through us. Jesus died because of us. Yet, God has been seeking these people burning in hell for all of the past figurative six thousand years. What was to be the Heavenly Kingdom, in the spiritual world, has become an empty ruin. Why did he allow human beings to be accused by satan? There has been no nation, no tribe, no people, no family, no individual God could (secure ?); if so, that person could have (secured ?) all the rest of humanity.
Why has the omniscient, omnipotent God not struck down and cast out satan? Who can win this relay? Unless the owner of True Love appears we cannot end this battle. The word "ideal" is very vague. "I" must bring salvation/liberation to God, to True Parents, and save the world. "We" must punch through the bottom of hell to save the world.
How miserable is His existence, then--for God to have to live with fallen man, for God to go to any corner of this world. God should be able to love the whole world, and the whole spirit world. Such is the Original Ideal of Creation. However, satan's domain reaches almost all the way up to God's throne. Then, truly God is not the God of joy, but of despair. With truth and love we must liberate God. With such concern and determination, with such a heart of filial piety, we must pursue our Father's liberation. With that heart and mind, even God will have to move and follow me. Our work, the key work of our lives, then, is to liberate God, our Father. Only then will God be able to truly do as he wills.
The "Time after the coming of Heaven" is upon us
In this era, only Blessed Families should be present in the palace for providential celebrations and events of this type--Blessed Families who have made sincere conditions and prepared their hearts for any sudden direction Heaven may require in the moment. Everyone here should be blessed, Ambassadors of Peace present here should be blessed. At present, one third of the Cain-type world have been blessed. From now on, Blessed families must attend training--40 day, 21 day, 7 day and 3 day workshops. For at least a total of 72 days of training, blessed families must understand providence and Divine Principal on that level.
Creating ideal tribes and nations, all blessed families must regularly reflect and look back on their lives--our lives should not be tainted by satan's footprints. Ambassadors of Peace must clean themselves of their past life. All the property you have has been given by satan. Those who drink alcohol and smoke should understand how low is such a standard; the mice in the mountains and the fish in the water will spit upon you. In the case of such a providential event, people should not just be gathering here without sincere preparation, but should come appreciating the atmosphere of joy and jubilee. Let us not have pride in our possessions and positions and expect to automatically participate in such providential events.
What if I go to spirit world, this year? Will you all be the prey of vultures? This concern bothers me, but if you truly read, understand, and practise the teachings in the Pyeong-Hwa Hoon-Gyeong (The Collection of 12 Peace Kingdom Messages), then with this book surely you should be able to create peace in this world. Heaven has gone through so much to prepare this foundation. You must uphold this foundation and go beyond this level. Let us establish the kind of Nation, tribes, and families that God can be proud of. You cannot be just stupid people. Rather be somewhat like a father for others, even for satan.
God is a Being of Personality
We know of God as a Personality, a personal God, who can live together with us. Confucianism never knew that there was this personal God. What did all the other religions say of the idea of a personal God. Benevolence, righteousness, and justice. Benevolence, righteousness, and justice. What do these chinese characters include? These three are the height of Confucian concepts. But how can we define the miracle of God?
God wanted to have the most intimate relationship with Human Beings, a relationship based on a completely correct 90-degree angle of Consciousness and Heart.
Who was Lucifer, and what did he do? He was able to completely mess up the world. What did Cain do? He killed Abel. But what does that matter, really, if the older son struck and killed the younger son, as the elder generally is seen as have the superior right. Then, what law did Cain break? God is a being of personality, a parent.
I do not respect Congressmen. We are a total failure in this nation, considering all that God has wanted to accomplish. I am in my 80's and have gone through the eight stages necessary to restore the deepest relationship with God. There have been so many Heavenly Secrets that I should reveal. Why have there been so many things for the True Parents to do? What does the True Parents have to do with the Messiah? (What does True-Parent-ship have to do with Messiah-ship?) And what are you going to do with your own big head?
Our movement is not a church that belongs to an individual (Bo-Hi Park?) . . . but a movement for valiant warriors to right the ways of history. Although God's providence was so gracious 2000 years ago, Jesus died in the end before the fullness could be attained. In this era Reverend Moon has liberated God in ways no one could imagine. Yet testimonies about our movement leaves all that is bad as being due to Reverend Moon. No? He is the head of a terrorist group. No? He makes guns and weapons is the report. And yet, without making the guns we may lose the nation to some evil power.
In the United Nations some 192 nations are represented. In fact, there were 194 nations represented when the Abel U.N. was established (The Universal Peace Federation). I had to educate them (the purpose of so many tours). I have never lost the fight. Why am I saying these things on this God's Day? I have done all I had to do, and I have given it all to you.
I have completed and restored all the failures of Christianity. In general, Christians do not think about the salvation of ancestors, or the importance of restoring all the members of the family. Instead, their emphasis is on the individual just going to heaven, oneself. I am here standing as the owner (as you should do), not because I wanted to, but because I had to. Park Bo-Hi, perhaps you thought that you were second to me. . . There is no nation that could sustain such people. . . I have appointed 7 people, looking to see what they can do. I am very intense and severe. I do not go around with a ladder to boast.
Universe/Cosmos Cheon-Il Guk Motto for 2008
Two becomes one in that nation, Cheon-il Guk. What does "Cosmos" mean in the motto? Cheon-Ju: Physical and Spiritual World, a place or house where the owners of the physical world and the spiritual world can live.
2008 Motto: 천주 평화 연합 천일 국 쌍 합 칠팔 희년 만세
Cheon-Ju (천주-Universal) Pyeong-Hwa (평화-Peace) Yeon-Hap (연합-Federation)
Cheon-il Guk (천일 국 -- Heaven's One Nation) Ssang Hap (쌍 합 -- Conjoined)
Shil/Pal (칠팔--7th/8th) Hui Nyun (희년--Jubilee Year) Mansei (만세--Long Live!)
Mansei for The Universal Peace Federation,
and the conjoined Jubilee of the 7th and 8th years of Cheon-Il Guk
A nation living for the sake of the cosmos shall never perish...
Sun Moon University... Do you know that I said you should go there, that your children should go there? Is it not Cain's responsibility to raise the younger siblings? I have gone beyond the stages of establishing the Kingship of God, establishing the Abel U.N. and have also been instrumental in the conferences and 6-party talks to bring about the Unification of North and South Korea. Those who have left the Unification Church should not return... (?)
Clear water goes with clear water, dirty water with dirty water: Maintain purity. Perhaps you think you can bring any old woman, any ole man and receive the blessing from me? No. Keep that in mind.
Some of the older members might be thinking, "Why does father ignore me" (Wife of Jesus may feel so)? But you are not the only one feeling such a lack of love. I gave you that name, I gave you that blessing. I must say these kinds of fearsome things on the earth, before you go to the Spirit World. You may or may not meet me, see me, in the spirit world.
This year is the 8th year of Cheon-il Guk (Heaven's One Nation). Eight means the formation (?) . . . The number 8 is covered in the exercises needed to go into motion, the number eight is needed. Christians talk about tithing (offering one tenth), but they never thought about "restoring" that number (eight ?). Pray about it: Does God like "An Shi" il (the 8th day) more, or the Sabbath of the 7th day?
Many Korean Unification Church members are from the Cholla-do province (a state in the southwest of the Korean peninsula). Perhaps because the higher ranks of the Army commanders and the upper echelons of Government leadership are occupied by rival Kyung-Sang-Nam-do (a state in the southeast region of the peninsula), then the powerful element of Cholla-do felt they could best exercise their own prowess through the Unification Movement? [Cholla-do was formerly the heart of the Paikche polity, which was defeated by the polity formerly known as Shilla, which resided in what is now this Kyung-Sang-Nam-do.]
In fact, primarily, Kyung-Sang-Nam-do would often rally against our movement, and have been most vocal in claiming that "Reverend Moon likes divorce." Little do they know or understand that I am most concerned with the raising up of the family, that I am matching couples spiritually, for the sake of the new nation and global peace. I can read English. . . (?) . . .
True Parents must bring to a natural surrender all false nations and ideologies. Are my words true? Do you really think so? If so then you must take action. Are you even working at 80% of your potential? Hmmm... you all are "a bunch of thieves." When I first arrived in America, many there said that I am the "Lord of the Second Advent." I did not say so. Many wanted to become my disciples. But did they really? Where could you go if not to the Unification Church? What can you do without the Divine Principle and God's Providence? What is the year of Jubilee? What is the place of refuge? Take the time to investigate for yourself. I have made many proclamations. Take the time to reconsider and investigate more deeply what ground True Parents and our movement covered this year.
True Children, you there on the front row. You call me "Father"? Live cleanly, as I have instructed. Hyun-Jin and wife, Kook-Jin and wife, Hyung-Jin and wife: be united--raise your children to be Kings and Queens. Uphold the traditions. That is what I want most out of my sons and daughters. Multiply, become 50 nations, 120 nations, and yet become one. That is what I want. You must be able to take people out of hell. Then the New Era of the New Day can truly begin. Aju!
Members, when you go back, what are you going to say you have received? You, yourselves, should be able to shine out to history. Then, the year of Jubilee (Hui Nyun) has not ended, yet. The 7th and the 8th year should come together. The victory of the 7th year should be connected, inherited, bequeathed, heaped-up, and conjoined with what is to come in the 8th year. Then, let us move one together, united, to the 9th, 10th, and 11th year--moving on to multiply Heaven's fortune. Such is the meaning of the Ssang-Hap (Conjoined) Jubilee of Heaven and Earth, the conjoined Jubilee years, the extended year of Jubilee.
In this time, we should not say unnecessary words, but speak words that are pertinent. Again, from now on, to attend a providential event at the Holy Palace, every candidate should prepare a year of devotion and special offering.
Tae Mo Nim invited to speak
Father does not usually ask me to speak. Besides, Father has given so much and said everything. What more can I add. But as Father has asked me to speak, I should not reject or disappoint him, so I will humbly try to make the most of this request.
As you may know, there are now over 320 billion liberated, Absolute Good Spirits (AGS) working in the spirit world. So, what is the benefit of such a blessing? Unfortunately, sometimes we, ourselves, do not demonstrate absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. Do we? In 2007, last year, father gave again a special blessing, one to allow us to return and live again in absolute faith, love, and obedience.
The era from March 2008 will be a time when God can live within us and we in him, unlike any time before. Those suffering from disease, those struggling and unable to live a principled life, will find themselves able to live in absolute faith, love, and obedience. Our life should be one filled with good works and a good history.
The Fall of Mankind brought upon us disease and suffering. Many times the chance to escape and climb out of this hell has been presented to us, to many generations, to us individually, but the conditions required of us were not fulfilled, time and time again. God has always loved Cain, first. . .
All of us should now contribute to make providential works whereby good spirits can come and participate. Create providential works without resting. Evil and good forces are gazing down upon us, asking us to allow them to use our bodies to do good works through us. . . (?) . . .
Father is already 89 years old, this year. We should follow the way of children. They have already shown us the way and fulfilled their portion of responsibility. We should the same to others and fulfill our own portion of responsibility, as filial sons and daughters.
Father reiterates:
You have to bless all the people in your tribe.
Reverend Hwang (President of the Korean Unification Church) (Note: These notes became sparse, as a new translater with less experience began to translate and my own fatigue began to set in. Many of the facts and figures may be compromised by this period of note taking. So the following is a mixed bag that must be taken with a grain of salt.)
We have entered the Sang Hap Jubilee year. Seven times seven is forty-nine. In Biblical term, the 50th year was the year of Jubilee, the year wherein slaves were set free. On the 7th year, there was some special occasion wherein slaves could rest and be protected, but they were still bound. On the 50th year (after 7 times 7 years), however, the slaves held by the people of Israel were, by law, free--a time when slaves were not only protected but liberated.
Now, this past 7th year of Cheon-il Guk was designated as a year of Jubilee, but the status of this 7th year is to be continued over into this 8th year (2008) of Cheon-il Guk.
All the people on the earth must be blessed. Every single person. Towards that end will do a raffle to assign teams. Today there are 7000 people here. From the 7000 we should draw out 3600 people and from these 360 people. From the 360 we should draw lots further: 234, then 120, 72, and then twelve. The 120 represent disciples; 234 family clans, 360 representing the world.
There is no way to further the depth of the Jubilee year. Thanks to the blessing in 1960, then we could have the True Parents. From then, up to the year 2004, we were laying the foundation. From 2005, the ceremony of the opening of the palace and establishing the Abel U.N., and giving birth to Cheon-il Guk; in October 2007 we heard the declaration of the liberation of God's homeland. Then 2008 is the time to make a literal Kingdom.
Centering on the 12 tribes, we will work to establish the substantial Kingdom. Preparing for the 44th anniversary (of God's day?). . . We must offer our entire being, ignite ourselves and offer our devotion completely.
Last year father celebrated his 88th year. Mother suggested he look back with closure, but Father said that year was yet another new beginning. He set out on another 125 nation tour to express God's will. He felt more serious than when he had to go to Danbury.
I feel like I have not fully involved myself last year. Let us determine to dedicate ourselves with firm resolution to make this new beginning. At 2:00 pm there will be entertainment. True Parents has given a New Year offering of 500 million won to be distributed among those present today. At the entertainment we will establish a lottery to organize the distribution of this collective gift.
