The True Meaning of the establishment of the Sunhak Peace Prize 59-4-14-40-524 - April 2, 2022
(Response to sharing about mother’s and brother’s recent death) I think you need to have a very special prayer condition for your mom and your brother. Set up a condition of at least 40 days and pray for them. When we set up a condition from the earthly world, this is really helpful to the spiritual world or our ancestors or our own parents. (With) that kind of beautiful prayer condition, (they) can settle down in the spiritual world.♦
Yorobun manipobo shipoyo. I truly miss you all!
(Shows photos) Yesterday, we visited the Jin-A Child Care Center in New Jersey.
Our 2nd Generation couple, Lincoln and Sharon LaGrotteria, Executive Directors of the Jin-A Child Care Center, have been taking care of the center very well. I am so impressed with Lincoln’s sharing about how he overcame the corona situation. I am so impressed with this couple, They are doing very well. As second generation they are fully responsible. They run the school very well. I met many staff members, many (of the) second generation.
Then, we had a lunch meeting at the Clifton Church with youth leaders, Joe Leonard, and Yaiushu(?) and Chobo(?) and our beautiful lady, Crescentia Degoede(?). I emphasized the importance of having three spiritual children.
Then, we went to the NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) campus in New Jersey and prayed together with the CARP members at the holy ground.
(Here is a) group Photo at the holy ground in NJIT.
Then, we went to the Montclair State University in New Jersey and prayed together with the CARP members at the holy ground.

Today I’d like to talk again about “The True Meaning of the Establishment of the Sunhak Peace Prize” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.
The Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation (Wonmo Pyeongae Scholarship Institute) will establish the Sunhak Peace Prize, which will become more well-respected than the Nobel Peace Prize. People or organizations that have contributed greatly to the Will of Heaven and to peace in the world will come to stand in a historical position. In relation to the successful activity that the Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation is anticipating, I hope that you will become partners and participants, and that your names will be remembered.

Recently I saw a program that was dealing with the problem of pollution in the South Pacific. If we see the earth in a satellite picture, in the vast Pacific Ocean, a small island can be seen. The animals and plants that have inhabited the Hawaiian Islands since their formation should be preserved. However, the local population has greatly devastated the islands. Scientists have predicted the time will come when we will not be able to eat seafood. They are referring to the fact that without any plan or restraint we have fished randomly and destroyed coral reefs. We must let all people know about the Sunhak Peace Prize. It is different from the existing prizes. It is even different from the Nobel Peace Prize. Putting the heart of our Heavenly Parent who loves all people in the forefront, we must publicize it, not only in Korea, but also in Japan, the United States and throughout the whole world. (2015.09.17, Cheon Jeong Gung)
So far, human populations have greatly damaged the environment. Bringing it back to its original state, restoring it back to the original state of Heavenly Parent’s creation, will take time, but it is something we must do. For the second and third generations of the future and for our descendants, we must now accomplish this. For this reason, I recently said I would establish an Academy of Sciences that has the best scientific technology and knowledge. Accordingly, we will research, discover and teach methods that can substantially resolve these problems one by one, methods that can bring about good results. This is a pressing matter. From that perspective, I have a lot of work to do. It is also why I established the Sunhak Peace Prize. More than one person alone, if several people come together, their strength can be combined and more power is generated.Therefore, we must go forward having one goal and creating unity. (2016.08.22, Cheon Jeong Gung)
Based on Mother’s word let’s study more about the Peace Prize from Chambumo Gyeong.
<Chambumo Gyeong, P. 1044> In front of Heaven, I made a promise to accomplish something by 2020. I will work in many ways to establish the right environment so that my promise will certainly be realized. We first accelerated our efforts to accomplish a long-range dream when the population of the world was three billion. Now it is over seven billion. I want to make our fervent desire known to these seven billion people as soon as possible. Accordingly, through the Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation, we will give our support so that many people of ability, of all social standings, who are working for the sake of peace, will take on larger roles. If we practice true love by means of a life of sharing, while working hard, a bright and happy world will arise in the future.
We want our descendants to live and enjoy life in a world without indemnity and bitter pain.
<Chambumo Gyeong, P. 1044> We must bequeath to thousands of generations of descendants the vision and thought of peace. To facilitate this, and to enhance True Parents ’ vision and thought regarding peace, we will establish a peace prize. Through the Wonmo Pyeongae Foundation, I am preparing the Sunhak Peace Prize, which will be awarded to a group or individual who serves sacrificially for the sake of world peace and true love.
Through this prize, we will support and encourage people who devote themselves for the sake of the genuine ideal world of peace. We will work so that this prize will have the highest value of any prize in human history.
True Mother has clearly stated her aspirations and intentions for the Sunhak Peace Prize.
She promised to give a prize that surpasses the Nobel Peace Prize to a person or organization who has made a great contribution for the Will of God and for the peace of humankind.
She also said that she would give the Sunhak Peace Prize to those who contributed to the restoration of the damaged environment.
So, for this purpose, she said that she would establish a science academy with the best scientific technology and knowledge.
Great people look into the distant future and invest. They go further and look into eternity.
You can see that our True Mother not only worries about the current world. She is really concerned about future generations for the sake of all humankind. That is why Mother’s viewpoint is really great.
Fallen humans cannot see tomorrow. They are busy just surviving reality.
True Mother was more concerned about the future of humankind than anyone else, and established the Sunhak Peace Prize to preserve this beautiful earth created by God and to restore it to its original state.
If we know True Parents love for humankind and the earth, many descendants will praise our True Parents very highly in the future. That is why the Sunhak Peace Prize will become very famous, more than any other prize. (We will not be able to) compare (it) to the Nobel Prize. This Sunhak Prize is really great.
In the future so many scholars and leaders and brothers and sisters will appreciate True Mother’s incredible contribution.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Principle of Creation 28 - Family Perfection is the Completion of the 3 Great Kingships (Centered on Dr. Lee, Sang Heon’s Unification Thought)
Actually Father ordered him to rearrange the content of Father’s word. That is why his content has already received confirmation from True Father.
(4) Kingship and its Concept
9. From this point we can come to understand the difference from the obedience of citizens towards the subject(dictator) in the communist world, and the obedience of citizens towards the subject of heaven. In the communist world the dictator uses fear to threaten the life of each individual to force the citizens to obey.
10. In the kingdom of heaven true love is used to make citizens voluntarily obey the subject with a joyful heart, thus this is the difference between the two worlds. Nevertheless, in the aspect where life is in danger when disobeying, it is the same.
11. In the communist world when disobeying the dictator, the earthly life is endangered or comes to an end, but in the heavenly kingdom when disobeying the command of love from one’s superior (subject), the eternal life after death is affected.
12. I believe I have clearly revealed that love too has authority.
Love has absolute authority, order and principles. Therefore anyone who challenges it will pay the indemnity that follows.
In the heavenly kingdom when disobeying the command of love from one’s superior (subject), the eternal life after death is affected.
When Adam and Eve did not obey God’s word, their mortal life as well as their eternal life after death were hindered. Therefore, in (one’s) life of faith, the relationship between God and me and the relationship between the subject and me is like a lifeline. It is very important.
When Adam and Eve did not obey God’s word, how much indemnity they had to pay! Not just them; all their descendants needed to pay indemnity. Why? Love is absolute. Love has absolute authority, order and principle. Anyone against it has to pay the price. This is God’s heavenly law.
13. Finally, I would like to present a phrase from the bible which shows God’s authority.
14. We know the passage where God said, “for now I know that thou fearest God’” when Abraham was offering Isaac as an offering as an indemnity for his mistake in his offering (Genesis 22:12).
15. This is a phrase which shows that dignity (fear) follows God’s love.
16. In this way, secular authority is a binding force of coercion but heavenly authority is the power of true love which induces obedience voluntarily. A king is bound to exercise his authority.
17. Therefore, exercising the 3 great kingships by the grandparents, parents, and children means always giving the object the power of true love.
Father’s Teaching
The teachings that I am bringing are unprecedented in history. They are the beginning of hope, peace and happiness for humankind. They are the starting point for everything in the kingdom of heaven. For this reason, those families that are connected to me in my lifetime stand in the realm of the royal family. If you live this kind of life, you will definitely pass into the level of the spirit world that corresponds to the degree to which you have perfected this life. If you think that this has nothing to do with you, you are making a big mistake.(249-111)
True Father said, “The teachings that I am bringing are unprecedented in history. They are the beginning of hope, peace and happiness for humankind. They are the starting point for everything in the kingdom of heaven.” Truly, these are wonderful words and (a wonderful) proclamation.”
This proclamation goes beyond what Jesus proclaimed in John 14:6 which says, “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”
Just now what Father declared is that True Parents are the beginning of hope, peace and happiness for all humankind. This is an incredible declaration! If they are not the messiah, not the True Parents, how can they say this?
The Last Step To Complete Human Desire
Your families stand in the position to perfect the greatest desire in the world. That hope, is that in the family, the grandfather becomes a king, the father becomes a king, and the children become kings, and all three generations can stand in the position of the kings of the universe. This is the greatest hope. You have to reassure yourself, that you are in a position to stand at the highest summit perfecting human desire. (249－111, 1993.10.8)
Human desires are endless, Father said. So when does human desire end? True Father said that it is when humans possess the true love that God possesses.
Then where can true love be perfected? He said that that position is the place where the four great realms of heart and the three great kingships are completed. In other words, the end point for fulfilling human desires is the family.
When can my final desire be finished and fulfilled? It is through my grandparents, through my parents, through my spouse, through my children. That is, at home my final desire ends and becomes complete.
At home. Can you imagine that? The value of the family is so great! What great value my wife, my husband, parents, grandparents, and grandchildren (have). Through my family I can fulfill my desires. My final desire is to experience true love. I can complete this through my family. How precious they are! My grandparents are so precious. So are my parents. My spouse has eternal value. My own brothers and sisters and my children, how precious they are! I can complete everything through my family members, through the nearest person.
All the problems (exist) in the family -- Adam’s family, Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, even in Noah’s family. At the same time, we can complete everything in the family. What is more important than this?
You truly need to love your own family members no matter what, your father and mother, your grandparents, your spouse, your brothers and sisters, your children -- no matter what! You can accomplish your goal and desire for true love through them; nowhere else. The family is everything. What a beautiful concept! This is God’s blueprint, right?
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Relating with Your Abel Figure
Today I'm going to talk with you guys under the title “Relating with your Abel figure.”
This is the last part of the series.
Until yesterday I shared 1 through 8. Today is numbers nine and ten.
No 9. Who is Abel and who is Cain? No 10. What is Abel's mission?
All of this is Father’s word.
(Cain and Abel
1. The incident of Cain and Abel in the Bible
2. The Providence of Restoration of Cain and Abel seen from the process of the Fall
3. When God only accepted Abel’s offering first, what was the state of Cain's heart?
4. When God took Abel’s offering before Cain’s what kind of attitude should Abel have had?
5. Why did Cain murder Abel?
6. What is the position of Cain and Abel as seen in Principle?
7. What must I do to become Abel?
8. How are Cain and Abel’s positions decided?)
9. Who is Abel and who is Cain?
10. What is Abel's mission?
9. Who is Abel and Who is Cain?
1. The person who does God’s Will is Abel.
Even though you work very hard, if you do not deal with God’s will, you are not Abel. Cain just focuses on his own job, but Abel focuses on God’s will.
2. The more public person is Abel.
I live for the sake of others, for my family more than myself; my family lives for the sake of the nation more than their own family. (The person with) the more public purpose is Abel. He thinks first about the entire purpose. Finally he thinks about his own self. This kind of mindset and attitude is: always think of God first, of the whole first, of the nation, of others first. Your own situation can be last. Always think for the sake of others. We call this kind of person Abel.
> What is Cain? It is Satan’s side. What is Satan? It starts with thinking about oneself.
> Abel began by thinking about God instead of thinking about himself.
> Today, to save Cain on the course of restoration, you have to work three times as hard. Since the number of completion beyond the formation and growth stage belongs to God, you must work three times as hard.
Now we are living in the completed testament era, the era of the cheon il guk. Father says we need to work 3 times harder than any of our ancestors. Then we can fulfill our portion of responsibility as Abel.
10. What is Abel's Mission?
1. Abel must first be able to fight against Satan and separate yourself from the world of Satan.
> This means that you must come into the realm of God's love.
2. You must be willing to sacrifice yourself in order to relieve the sorrowful heart of God and the sorrowful heart of brothers and sisters who are tied to the world of Satan.
> You must be willing to save them from the world of Satan at the cost of your life and your sacrifice. From Abel's sacrifice, the providence of restoration will progress. This is the formula you need to remember.
Abel's mission is to restore Cain by sacrificing “me.” The purpose of my sacrifice is what? To save Cain.
In short, what was Abel's mission? It is to save Cain. What does it mean to save Cain? It's witnessing. Ultimately, witnessing is Abel's mission. It is Abel's mission to sacrifice everything for witnessing. The person who is not interested in witnessing or who does not witness is Cain.
Father’s declaration and explanation is important. What is our mission as Abel? Of course, we need to do our public job. What is the fundamental goal as Abel? To save Cain. That means we need to witness. Salvation. Let them come back to God’s bosom. That is our fundamental mission.
If you are not interested in witnessing, you are not dealing with God. Your concern is very far from God. You cannot receive love from God.
As long as I am concerned about witnessing, for Cain, then God really pays attention to me. Since he lost his children, he thinks day and night how to bring back his own children. God’s utmost wish is to bring back his own children. That is why if as an Abel figure you are not concerned about Cain and bringing him back to God’s bosom, you are not Abel. How can I receive the blessing and love from heaven? It is very simple. When you pay attention to the restoration of Cain, to salvation, automatically you have the most opportunity to receive God’s love. Without witnessing, there is no way to receive God’s blessing and love. No matter how hard you work, if you do not pay attention to people’s eternal souls and only work hard … We are all doing something for the sake of God’s will. What is the purpose of a public mission? To save people’s souls. We need to witness.
Cain is not interested in witnessing. (Whether) you are interested in witnessing or not, we can know whether you are an Abel figure or a Cain figure. Abel focuses solely on witnessing all the time, whether sleeping or waking up or whatever you are doing. He is always focused on salvation which is witnessing. That is Abel.
If you are never concerned about witnessing, you will be far from God’s concern. That means that you will not have an opportunity to receive God’s love.
I need to focus on what God’s greatest concern is, what his greatest wish is. When we witness one by one, this is the way to relieve God’s han, God’s resentment, God’s sorrowful heart. There is no other way. Witnessing is not just a mission. It is our absolute destiny.
To say that I have no spiritual children means that I am not willing to pay the price of sacrifice for Cain. And that means that I lived more for myself than for the life I sacrificed for Cain.
3. Since Abel cannot be without Cain, they must find Cain.
4. Abel must love Cain. He must subjugate him naturally with love. He must stand in the position of loving him by shedding blood and tears. He must give greater love than anyone else in the world. Otherwise Cain will not submit to Abel, and thus restoration cannot be carried out.
5. Before loving Abel, they must love the archangel, and after loving Cain, they must love Abel. This is the principle. The archangel became Satan, and Satan is the older brother. That is why Abel must love Satan. They have to love God, too. That is important.
Cain's submission is only when he is moved by Abel. When Cain is touched, he completely surrenders. You cannot subdue Cain with (only) moderate love.
By simply saying “I love you,” you cannot subdue Cain. How can you restore Cain? You need to touch his heart so that he is really moved by you, overwhelmed with tears. “I am completely moved by you. You touch my heart. I completely surrender. You are my true Abel.” There is no other way. How do we subjugate Cain? Without true love, it is impossible.
Therefore, Abel's mission is to move Cain’s heart. You can never beat Cain to make him surrender. When Cain complains to Abel, it means that Abel still did not love Cain enough.
We need to reflect on this.
When Cain complains to Abel, to me, it means that Abel has not loved Cain enough. “I did not love my wife enough, my husband, my parents, my brothers and sisters.” Anyone who complains to me, it means Abel needs to reflect: “I did not love enough.”
6. Abel's responsibility is to subjugate Satan. If you do not subjugate them, you cannot separate. We have to subjugate Satan, and we have to subjugate Cain. Without love, Satan does not fall away.
> Abel must stand in a position where they could die for Cain and give up their life. Otherwise, Cain would not surrender before Abel. You can only return to a place where you can die in Cain’s place.
How can we separate from Satan? The only way to separate is to touch, to move Cain’s heart. The only way Satan can go back his way is through my love. (Cain) completely surrenders through true love.
7. Abel has to restore three great realms. First, Cain must be restored. Understand? Then parents must be liberated. What is the next mission? God must be liberated. Abel must accomplish these three great missions. Do you understand?
> In other words, without liberating the satanic world, parents cannot appear. After that, if parents are not liberated, God cannot be liberated. It is Abel's mission to be responsible for the three realms of liberation. (58-68)
Abel's mission is to take up Cain's cross, carry the cross of True Parents, and even carry the cross of God to set him free.
That is why in order to liberate God’s heart, (Abel must) take up Cain’s cross first. You need to love your Cain. Then finally you can carry the cross of True Parents and finally you can liberate God’s heart.
8. Abel is in the position of the child and Cain is in the position of the adopted child. Therefore, Cain must absolutely submit to Abel. But Abel was betrayed by Cain, and Abel must find Cain again. In other words, just as Jesus was crucified and then resurrected and went to find his disciples, Abel was killed by Cain, but he must go to find him. You must find the descendants of the Cain that betrayed.
When I read this content, I could really understand the way of Abel.
2000 years ago the Israelis, the chosen people, killed Jesus. How much he loved his own 12 disciples! All of them betrayed Jesus and ran away. Jesus was crucified and resurrected. Then what did he do? He searched for his disciples, his Cains. Wow! This is the way of Abel. “Even though you betrayed me and killed me, I come back again and still search for my Cain. I love you. Please come back.” This is the way of Abel. “No matter how much you hate me, I still love you. I still come back to you.” Wow! Jesus is really a great example. He is our eternal Abel.
Who can do that? He had already died, and then resurrected and came back looking for his betrayers. “Where are they?” He searched for them, loved them, embraced them. All of his disciples were so moved by Jesus' love, and they really repented. “Jesus is my lord, my savior, my true father.” Everyone surrendered to Jesus' true love.
That is why they had strong determination. “No matter what, now I realized Jesus is my messiah and lord. I can risk my life. I can go anywhere. I can die any time.” That was the beginning of Christianity.
This is the way of Abel. Even though he betrays me, I still love him. This (is a) kind of jjak sarang. … “Jesus, who is this guy? He is really God’s only begotten son.”
God's greatest joy is for Abel to love Cain and to subjugate him. After all, the way to love even the enemies of the enemies is the way of Abel. If you do not love your enemies (as) Jesus (did), the quality of your love (will) not change. Without loving my enemy, the quality of my love will never improve. The more I love my enemy, the quality of my love (will be) upgraded and (will) grow day by day.
Today I have shared beautiful guidance by True Father, “Relating with the Abel Figure.” Please remember one thing: what is the mission of Abel? It is to save Cain. Saving Cain means what? (We need to) witness one by one. We need to bring back God’s children one by one to God’s bosom. That is the way to liberate God’s sorrowful heart.♦
(Response to sharing) God’s final goal is (his) concern about Cain. When Cain comes back, then everything is complete. That is why God is more concerned about Cain than about Abel. God’s main purpose is to restore Cain through Abel. In that sense God loves Cain more. When he (Cain) comes back, everything is complete.♦
