The Proclamation by the True Parents

1) The meaning of representative body and heir

On April 23, 2010, True Parents issued a proclamation.

Before he passed to the spirit world, True Father proclaimed the axis of inheritance before God and humankind. "The headquarters of cosmic peace is also the one unique headquarters. Its representative body and heir is Moon Hyung Jin. Any other person is a heretic and destroyer. The contents written here are a proclamation of the True Parent(s). Sealed: Sun Myung Moon.”

True Father established Moon Hyung Jin as his representative body and proxy, his heir and inheritor. He also very clearly warned that any other person aspiring to that position is a ‘heretic and destroyer’. So how do you understand the current reality that we see today, where people have rejected Father's representative body and heir, causing the current denominational split? Clearly, those people have become heretics and destroyers, fulfilling True Father’s very words.

What is the significance of True Parents blessing of the representative body and heir? True Parents blessed Moon Hyung Jin as their representative body and heir. The Korean expression 'Dae Shin Ja' means someone who ‘stands in place of my own body’. It means that the dae shin ja is True Father's body. It is a promise from True Father that he will be with Moon Hyung Jin and present inside him. It also means that Moon Hyung Jin resides in the direct dominion of True Father and God.

Father also blessed Hyung Jin Nim as his 'Sang Sok Ja' - his heir and inheritor. But what exactly did True Father inherit and bequeath to Hyung Jin Nim? Was it money? Was it the assets of the Family Federation? Was it the Cheon Jeong Gung? No, True Father’s inheritance is more than this - the inheritance given by the Messiah is not limited to some sort of material foundation. What Father actually bequeathed to his heir is the authority of the True Parents. True Father bequeathed his will and his heart (Shimjeong). He left his completion of the providence of restoration to his heir. People, wake up! You have to understand this point! True Father has designated his heir and told us to follow this person after he is gone.

How can you possibly turn your back on the heir established directly by True Father? How can you ostracize Moon Hyung Jin, True Father's representative and proxy?

The Messiah, the True Parent, the King of Kings blessed Hyung Jin Nim as his dae shin ja, his body and his heir. He proclaimed this to all of heaven and earth by crowning him in three separate coronation ceremonies, in front of God, and this fact cannot be changed by anyone. God himself witnessed and recognized it. Even Hak Ja Han cannot deny this point.

And as if this wasn’t enough, True Father, in his own words, states very clearly: anyone who denies this fact is a heretic and a destroyer. This means that anyone who denies this will be unable to escape judgment.

The leaders of the Family Federation tell us that they cannot recognize this proclamation by True Parents as an official document because True Father issued it as a written proclamation without formal due process. But who was it that so actively asked True Father to bless Moon Hyung Jin as his heir at the time this document was made? It was Hak Ja Han

Moreover, when the Family Federation leadership asserts that True Father didn’t use the proper procedures to decide his line of succession, or that he was incapable of making the correct decision at the time, they are essentially denying True Father’s messiahship and denying the providence of God through True Father. After making the proclamation, True Father very clearly explained his reasons for establishing Hyung Jin Nim as his successor. In addition, he went on to conduct three consecutive coronation ceremonies in which he crowned Moon Hyung Jin's couple as True Parents' dae shin ja. He also transferred to Moon Hyung Jin's couple his authority and jurisdiction over the Blessing. All the evidence of this is recorded in video footage and is easily verifiable.

But the leadership of the Family Federation has rejected the Messiah and betrayed his will.

When I understood this, I came to a personal determination. At the time, church members were criticizing me, saying that I had caused Mother much sorrow. So false! I have done nothing more than chosen to follow True Father's will and True Father's words. Moreover, True Father has shown his approval of my choice through signs. Even though this means I have separated from you, I have been able to establish my vertical axis. Because the Han Mother has chosen to deny True Father's final will, I cannot recognize her. I have left the church that I love, the church that I invested my heart in for 38 years, and yet I feel no hesitation or fear. Rather, my heart aches for you who have turned your backs on the path of sincerity and truth.

I have left the Family Federation, even though I dedicated my faith, love and youth to that organization. Everyone laughs at me, telling me that I am acting like an idiot. They take the things that I say and use them to slander me. They cut me off, refusing to even engage with me. They refuse to talk with me. They isolate me. But I am not a weak-willed person. I’m not worried about what others think of me. I don't care if others call me an idiot or a moron because on my faith in True Father. And I expect that the Family Federation headquarters and even the church members will persecute me even more in the future, but it doesn't scare me at all. My mind is full of conviction and confidence. Unlike some people I know, I'm not worn down by a desire for horizontal acceptance, such that I throw away my fidelity or my principles. Up until the final moment, I won’t let go. I’ll be following True Father's will, even if it means I have to grab hold of his trousers and get myself dragged along.

Why is that? Because this is what True Father told us to do. Because following Moon Hyung Jin is the only way to preserve the words of True Father, and it’s the only way to uphold the principles and the principled order established by True Father. Most importantly, it’s the only way to preserve the 3 kingships that True Father established. Why else? Because at this very moment, the Family Federation has left the path of God's heavenly will. It has become an unprincipled instrument moving to eternally erase the 3 kingships put in place by True Father himself.

This is the instrument to which you have aligned yourselves, and it is to such leaders that you are offering your absolute faith and absolute obedience.

The purpose of the life of faith of the Unificationist is to follow the Will by attending to the lineage of Heaven.

Let me quote a passage from the Bible (Matthew 7/22 ~ 23).

Many will say to me on that day, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?” Then I will tell them plainly, “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!”

2) Denial of the three kingships: Denial of True Father's lineage

The Family Federation has rejected the successor established by True Father, the one he anointed as his representative body and heir. They have rejected the line of succession established by Christ, the King of Kings. They have denied the three kingships and they have declared that the organ known as ‘the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council’ will determine the successor.

The Supreme Council is comprised of the current leadership of the Family Federation. In their structure, the Supreme Council is the one to select the person who becomes the successor to authority. Accordingly, if they don’t like the way you speak, or act, you can never become the successor. What this means is that over and above the successor, the Supreme Council is the one that rules.

But the true heir was decided on by the True Parents. In three separate official ceremonies, True Parents together publicly proclaimed the heir before God and before all of heaven and earth. You, then, are rejecting and denying the three kingships that connects True Father, Moon Hyung Jin and Moon Shin Joon Nim. Under what authority and in whose name are you trying to overturn this? Your actions are in direct opposition to the will of the Messiah.

You deny the lineage of Heaven and the seed of Heaven. Do you remember why God the Creator became a God of sorrow? The human ancestors were seduced by Satan and they fell, losing God's lineage. It was leaving God’s lineage to join Satan's lineage that constituted the Fall. For what purpose was Jesus sent? We learned about this through the Principle. Jesus was sent to find a bride so that he could establish Heaven's lineage here on the earth.

So what then is the reason we need the Second Coming? Jesus could not find his bride and died upon the cross, so he must return again as the bridegroom to find the bride and celebrate the marriage of the Lamb. But what for? To connect the lineage of Heaven and plant it here on Earth. What is the supreme hope of the children of the Unification family? It is to be engrafted into the lineage of Heaven.

Hak Ja Han denied her own sons - the very lineage of Heaven - and chased them out.

In addition, in order to eternally deny and erase the heavenly seed, the ‘successor’ will now be decided by the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council...

If the Messiah's successor can be determined by a group of people known as ‘the Cheon Il Guk Supreme Council’, then why did Heaven need to send the Messiah in the first place? You could simply select a smart person by holding an election. Just use the democratic process, just like when a President is elected, or when members of congress are elected.

In other words, why on earth does Heaven have to work and prepare for two thousand years to send the Messiah? You can just elect him.

No. You have forgotten the very foundations of the Divine Principle. You have forgotten what the original lineage is. You have even forgotten what the fallen lineage is. What are you doing? Are you just living your lives dreaming about all the blessings you might receive? Are you thinking you can just go to Cheong Pyeong, pay money to liberate and bless your ancestors, and clap your way into Heaven? Will you clap so hard that your hands hurt? Will you sing hymns and then just expect your ancestors to help you? Is this the meaning of your lives?
