· Immediately after the inauguration of UPF, True Father embarked on a world speaking tour that took him to 120 nations.
· Inheriting that victory, True Mother, on behalf of True Parents, traveled with her sons to 180 countries, preaching the Word, supervising Blessing events, and completing the historic providence of mother-child cooperation.
· Through this global tour, True Mother was able to restore and offer to heaven the realm of the lineage and the realm of Cain and Abel unity, which had been lost by Eve.
· With this victory, True Mother will rise to the throne as the perfected Eve on a global level.
· Meanwhile, Satan has been working to strike first and develop atheistic communism world-wide.
· The only countries on the earth that are of the same race but have been divided into two due to communism are China, Taiwan, and North and South Korea.
· True Father prophesied that world unification will surely come when these same nations become unified, centering on God.
· This is the last task humanity must overcome before world unification can be achieved.
· The cultural sphere of Christianity will dominate the world, because Jesus’ love transcended tribes and nations, and was global.
· On the foundation of the Christian cultural realm of Jesus, the cultural realm must change centering on True Parents.
· The Unification Church, more than any religious organization, must love not only God, America, and the people of America, but also all mankind and the world.
· The Unification Church in the United States must help missions in other countries and continue to send out missionaries to the world centering on the second generation.
· That is the path through which the Unification Church in America is loved and protected by Heaven.
· The reason people have been divided into numerous denominations based on the contents of the Bible so far is because they do not know the heart of God and Jesus behind the Word.
· We must pray together with meditation to find out what this word really means. Meditation is prayer.
· If we keep the words that True Parents spoke in our minds continuously, make them our own and stamp them on our hearts, we will enter the world of heart where everyone becomes one.
· Fallen human beings need to know, through the Word, the suffering, sorrows, and hardships that True Parents went through to give birth to and raise us as their children.
· If a child cries after learning about the mother's hardships, it is like connecting with the mother's heart.
· To truly understand True Parents is to go through the same hardships and suffering that they went through, engrafting onto their hearts.
· In the end, we need to remember that fallen human beings will not be able to join the heavenly realm without tears in their quest for God. Then, they will come to know the world of God’s heart, and become engrafted onto Him.

God morning, Good morning, my dear brothers and sisters, clergy and Ambassadors for Peace! I will be on the plane right now because I am going to South Korea via Australia. For the time being, I will send you a recorded message. Thank you for your understanding.
Today I’d like to talk about “God's Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World II, from True Mother’s Anthology 2”.
<This speech was given by Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon between September 1 and October 14 during a 40-nation Victory and Complete Freedom Rally to Bring Universal Peace to the Fatherland and Hometown speaking tour>112-114
God’s Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World II
Respected ambassadors for peace, leaders from all walks of life, distinguished guests from home and abroad, and beloved blessed families. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your efforts to realize peace for all humanity, and especially for your support of the Universal Peace Federation. As you may know, after the coronation ceremonies at which my husband was acknowledged as the King of Peace, held both in the United States Senate Office Building and the Korean National Assembly in 2004, we founded the Universal Peace Federation in New York City on September 12, 2005.
On the foundation of those victories, on June 13 of this year we held the Entrance Ceremony of the Cheon Jeong Gung and the Coronation Ceremony of the True Parents as the King and Queen of Cosmic Peace. Each of these was a step towards the establishment of the substantial kingdom of heaven on earth, Cheon Il Guk. Ladies and gentlemen, immediately after the inauguration of the Universal Peace Federation my husband embarked on a world speaking tour that took him to 120 nations. Inheriting the victory of that first tour, I continued with a 180-nation tour, declaring God's message in the capacity of the True Parent.
Through this tour, which took me around the entire world over the past six months, my sons and I worked together seamlessly, fulfilling the providence of mother-son cooperation. As a true parent accompanied by true children, we declared the Word and officiated together over marriage Blessings for the sake of world peace. Through this, I restored and offered to Heaven the realm of the lineage and the realm of Cain and Abel unity, both of which had been lost by Eve, the mother of the first human family.
On September 12, 2005, True Parents established the Universal Peace Federation in New York, USA, at which I participated. It was an incredible event. True Mother, who inherited the victory of Rev. Moon's tour of 120 countries, which began immediately after the founding of the Universal Peace Federation, completed the historic providence of mother-child cooperation by traveling around the world and winning the proclamation of the Word in 180 countries as a representative of True Parents.
By being accompanied by the True Children in the position of True Parents and having them participate in the preaching of the Word and the supervising events of the Blessing, True Mother was able to restore and offer to Heaven the realm of the lineage and the realm of Cain and Abel unity, both of which had been lost by Eve, who was the mother in the first family of mankind.
Through this series of global events, True Mother will rise to the throne as the perfected Eve on a global level. It has already been 17 years since True Parents founded the Universal Peace Federation, and soon it will be 18 years. The truly amazing things that the Universal Peace Federation have accomplished throughout the world have been tremendous. Since True Parents proclaimed UPF, how much we have raised so many political leaders, NGO members, ecumenical members, religious members, for them to become Ambassadors for Peace. She has really traveled everywhere around the world. To really fill the position of the perfected Eve. It is really incredible. Thank you to Heavenly Parent and True Parents. From that time, True Mother’s mission as God’s only begotten daughter has begun.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Eschatology 5
Human History is the History of the Providence of Restoration 1 - The History of the Development of Cultural Spheres
· Human history can be seen as the history of the providence through which God has been trying to save fallen people and work through them to restore the original, good world.
· Let us examine in various ways the idea that human history is the history of the providence of restoration.
· First, let us examine the history of the development of cultural spheres.
· Through religion fallen people mired in ignorance have sought to meet God by ceaselessly striving toward the good. Even though the individuals, peoples and nations which championed a certain religion may have perished, religion itself has survived.
· Religion has endured through history.
· In its history, China has experienced many cycles of the rise and fall of dynasties and numerous transfers of political power, yet the religions of the far east – Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism – have continued to thrive.
· In India, the religion of Hinduism; in the middle East, Islam; and in the history of Western Europe, Christianity have continued to flourish.
· Many religions have left their mark on history. Among them, the religions with the greatest influence formed cultural spheres. The major cultural spheres which have existed at various times in world history numbered between twenty-one and twenty-six.
· With the flow of history, lesser cultural spheres were absorbed by, or merged into, the more advanced spheres. Through the evolution of cultural spheres, as they were buffeted by the rise and fall of nations, four great cultural spheres have survived to the present day: The East Asian sphere, the Hindu sphere, the Islamic sphere and the Christian sphere.
· The current trend has these four spheres forming one global cultural sphere based on the Christian ethos.
· This demonstrates that the essence of human history has been the restoration of one united world.
The World will be United if Korea, China, Vietnam, and Germany are Reunified
<39-176> Communism is a side effect. It will take lots of time to explain that. But the conclusion is that Communism will eventually perish from the earth. Let’s think for a second. When something happens, does a conscientious person hit another person first or get hit first? Does a good person strike first or an evil person strike first? An evil person strikes first. As you see, in World War Ⅰ, evil nations hit first and those nations were ruined. In World War Ⅱ, nations that hit first were ruined as well. The same is true of even World War Ⅲ. Nations that hit first were Communist nations. Only four nations in the world have been divided into two respectively. They are Korea, China, Vietnam, and Germany. If these four nations are reunified, the world will be united.
God's strategy and Satan's strategy are completely different. Satan's strategy is to strike first and then lose. And God's plan is to first get hit and then take away. The reason communism perishes is because it always strikes first. In World War I and World War II, the communist side was destroyed first. A great example.
A conscientious person never strikes others first. Similarly, in human history, states and nations that deny God always attack first. That country ends up being ruined. It was only a matter of time.
Now, the only countries on the earth that are of the same race but have been divided due to communism are China, Taiwan, and North and South Korea in Korea. True Father says this will be the final battle. He prophesied that when these two nations become unified centering on God, world unification will surely come. Now, the world of human history is advancing towards the culture of the realm of heart of the one big family under one God.
From this point of view, the issues between Taiwan and China, South Korea and North Korea are global issues. As you well know, how tense are Taiwan and China, South Korea and North Korea? This is the last task humanity must overcome before world unification can be achieved. Now Taiwan, as an Abel nation, is dealing with mainland China, which is not such a simple matter. And then, at the end, North Korea and South Korea must unite. Then, as Father said, Heavenly fortune can create one world under God.
The Cultural Sphere of Christianity will Dominate the World
<39-180> Can the kingdom of heaven be formed without families? Tribes can be formed only with families, ethnic groups can be formed only with tribes, and nations can be formed only with ethnic groups, right? If we look at Jesus in this way, he must be a global saint. In conclusion, the cultural sphere of Christianity will dominate the world because God loves Jesus. Even if Christianity is ruined and is driven out, the conclusion will be the same. Teacher Moon knew about it. That’s why I call Jesus the saint of all saints. For that reason, the current cultural sphere of Christianity is moving the world.
The reason why today's Christian culture has had the greatest impact in front of the world is because Jesus' love transcended tribes and nations and was global. It was the fact that Jesus received God's love and loved his enemies on a global level beyond the national level. For that reason, the Christian cultural sphere has dominated the world. That is why Jesus is called the saint of saints.
Now, on the foundation of the Christian cultural realm of Jesus, the cultural realm must change centering on True Parents who inherited everything. In the future ideal world, God-centered heart and filial piety will dominate the entire world.
In conclusion, it is individuals, families, churches, and nations who have been loved by God who will receive God's protection in any hardship. Therefore, we must be the first to love God in any situation.
If we love God, God cannot help but protect us. In order for the Unification Church in America to be protected, it must be loved by God. To do so, the Unification Church, more than any religious organization, must love not only God, America, and the people of America, but also all mankind and the world.
If America loves the world and humanity, God cannot help but protect America. No matter what happens, the Unification Church in the United States must help missions in other countries and continue to send out missionaries to the world centering on the second generation. That is the path through which the Unification Church in America is loved and protected by Heaven. That’s why America, for the sake of the world and all mankind, America can never perish. We need to know how we can get love from God, to really love all mankind, love the world substantially. This is the mission of the elder son nation.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY:
When are We Heartistically Grafted?
Words of the Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong are the Same as True Father’s Will
1. The words spoken by True Parents in the Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong are like a will. Every time he spoke, he repeatedly told us and emphasized for us to “keep the words in mind." As if making a will, he earnestly asked us to “keep the words in mind.” Therefore, as you keep reading the Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong you must read and re-read the words that True Parents told you to keep in mind until they have deeply moved your heart and made your own. So, when you read the Word, you must read it with your heart.
The fact that you were moved by the words of True Parents is something that you have to keep in mind deeply in your heart. What does it mean to keep the words in mind? It is to stamp the inspired words on your heart. That's why it's called keeping in mind, it is to deeply engrave something in your heart so that you can't forget it. The more you read the Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong of True Parents, the more the Words that have just passed over your head until now become more influential to you. So you don't know until you read it. There are many things you don't know even if you keep reading the Pyeong Hwa Shing Gyeong, so just read it once or twice more then it will go all the way.
Since the words that True Parents told us to keep in mind are the same as True Parents’ Will, we must read and re-read them until they touch our hearts and make them our own. So, when you read the Word, you must read it with your heart.
When you do not understand or do not read these important words with your heart, you must meditate on and pray for each sentence. We must pray together with meditation to find out what this word really means. Meditation is prayer.
So, if you separately excerpt the words that have moved you so far, write them down in a notebook, and meditate repeatedly, you can understand the deeper meaning of the words the more you meditate. Those who repeat the inspired words over and over again will come to know the taste of the words and sometimes receive unimaginable stimulation and joy.
The fact that we are moved by the words of True Parents means we must keep them in our minds deeply. What does it mean to keep in mind? It is to stamp the inspired Word on to our hearts. That’s why
You Must Know the World of the Heart Behind the Word
2. As we read the Pyeonghwa Hun-gyeong, we all know the words, but do we understand the content behind the words? Knowing in words is knowledge. However, the problem is that we do not know the world of the heart behind the Word. Do you know the world of God's heart behind Cain's murder of Abel?
If you say that you have read the Word but do not understand it well, what does this mean? In a word, it is like not knowing the sorrow and Han of True Parents. True Father said that if you read the Word, you should know the bitterness of God and True Parents. Then, how can we know the Han (bitter sorrow) of God and True Parents?
Fallen humans do not know how much effort their parents put in to raising them and the misery they went through. They do not know that their mother suffered while wandering between death and near death to give birth to them. They don't know how many pains, sorrows, and hardships their parents went through in order to raise them alone. And some people don't even want to know the past of their parents who suffered. It is because our physical body inherited the fallen nature. But if your mind is clear, you will know.
When we read the words of True Parents, we must know the world of heart behind the words. The reason people have been divided into numerous denominations based on the contents of the Bible so far is because they do not know the heart of God and Jesus behind the Word. When we enter the world of heart, everyone becomes one.
Even if we look at Adam's family, we do not know the world of God's heart behind the fall of Adam and Eve and Cain's murder of Abel. If we read True Parents' words but still cannot understand them, it means that we are far from True Parents' realm of heart.
Going further, in a word, it means not knowing the sorrow and han of True Parents. True Father said that if you read the Word, you should know the bitterness of God and True Parents.
Then, how can we know the han (bitter sorrow) of God and True Parents? In order to know the bitterness of God and True Parents, we must deeply understand the Principle of Restoration. Fallen human beings do not know how much effort their parents put in to raise them and the misery they went through.
Fallen human beings do not know that their mother suffered while wandering between death and near death to give birth to them. They don't know how many pains, sorrows, and hardships their parents went through in order to raise them alone. How could a human being with such a fallen lineage know God's sorrowful heart and han?
You Must Suffer to Know the Circumstances of Those Who Suffered
3. If my own mind is clear, I feel the other person's sad situation as if it were my own, think of it as my job, and feel the pain together with that person. The world of our heart is truly mysterious. In a way, even though it's all past events, but as soon as you see the person's face, you can read the person's past. So, knowing the circumstances of that person's pain, you shed tears without even realizing it. Those who live with this kind of heart feel all the circumstances and feelings of the other person.
We say that we know what kind of people True Parents are, but we do not know what True Parents are bitter about. In fact, True Father did not tell us all the details of all the trials and sufferings he went through. He only said, 'You can know me only when you have gone through many hardships and grievous incidents up to this day.' You have to go through hardships to know the feelings of those who have suffered. Only when you are hungry do you know the sorrow of your parents who endured hunger and suffered hardships to raise you.
Do you know why True Father continues to emphasize the world of heart? This is because when we enter the world of heart, we can read the other person's circumstances, heart, and mind. If our own mind is clear, we feel the other person's sorrow as if it were our own, think of it as if it were our own, and feel their pain as if it were our own.
We can read that person's past as soon as we see that person's face. That is why the world of our heart is truly mysterious. So, knowing the circumstances of that person's pain, we shed tears without even realizing it. Those who live with this kind of heart feel all the circumstances and feelings of the other person.
That is why True Parents said that fallen human beings must go through many hardships and sufferings. The world of heart is a world that cannot be felt unless we experience it.
Therefore, True Father said that we can come to know the world of God's heart when we understand and digest all the hardships, pains, and hardships that we are experiencing as if they were from Heaven.
That's why True Father said, 'You can know me only when you go through many hardships and grievous incidents up to this day.' We have to go through hardships to know the feelings of those who have suffered. One comes to know the sadness of parents who endured hunger and suffered hardships to raise them only when they themselves are hungry.
When are we Heartistically Grafted?
4. It is impossible to describe in words how much Korean people suffered while they were invaded and exploited by Japan for 40 years. At that time, Korean people were always hungry and had to go through many hardships. Thinking about that, how much do young Koreans these days know about the pain of their ancestors? In fact, during the Japanese colonial period, Koreans were very sad because they had nothing to eat, and they suffered a lot of pain and neglect from the Japanese.
Everyone, do you know what the word graft means? It is when the word enters my heart, empathizes with me and when tears come out, that is grafting into my heart. If a child cries after knowing about the mother's hardships, they are grafted to the mother's heart. Mothers struggle and cry to raise their children, but children do not know how their parents feel and do not cry unless they cry. When the mother is sad, the children also feel sad and cry together, and they bond with the mother heartistically.
You Cannot Graft Your Heart Without Tears
5. So if you live with your heart, you will be able to perceive the situation and heart of the other person. If the mother is sad, the children immediately notice and worry. When a mother and children are emotionally connected, the children immediately know the mother's situation. How do they know? They know it by heart. Therefore, heart cannot be grafted without tears. That's why True Father told us to know God's sorrow whenever we face persecution or difficulties.
If you do not know the sorrow of your parents, the relationship between parent and child will not develop heartistically. Human beings also need to become affectionate through tears in order to become closer in spirit. When couples sympathize with each other emotionally and cry together, they become closer to each other. If a husband and wife have the same lifestyle, they are bound to be sad together and have fun together. So, please remember that fallen human beings will not be able to join without tears in their quest for God.
We must understand what it means to graft into the heart. When will the Word come in and be grafted into me? In other words, when the word enters our heart and if that word touches us and brings tears to our eyes, that is what engrafts itself into our heart.
For example, if a child cries after learning about the mother's hardships and pain, it is like connecting with the mother's heart. In this way, if human beings know God's hardships and sorrow through the process of suffering, indescribable sacrifice and suffering, then at that moment, they are connected with God heartistically. This is the true grafting of heart.
So, if we live with the heart, we can perceive the situation and heart of the other person. If the mother is sad, the children immediately notice and worry. Then how do we know the other person? We know it with our heart.
Therefore, our heart cannot be grafted without tears. That's why True Father told us to know God's sorrow whenever we face persecution or difficulties.
If we do not know the sorrow of our parents, the relationship between parent and child will not develop heartistically. Human beings also need to become affectionate through tears in order to become closer in spirit.
In the end, we must think that hardships, pain, difficulties, and sometimes persecution and injustice are training to engraft ourselves with God's heart. I hope you will remember that fallen human beings will not be able to join the heavenly realm without tears, in their quest for God.
So, whenever we face any kind of difficulties and persecution, pain and hardships, we really need to think, God gave us this opportunity to engraft ourselves with God’s heart, and need to appreciate that.
Today I talked about “You Cannot Graft your Heart Without Tears.”
Thank you very much.
