Changing the Cheon Il Guk National Anthem and Holy Marriage vows

A Variety of Deeds that Break Away from God's Providential Will

3) Changing the Cheon Il Guk National Anthem and Holy Marriage vows

As the leadership of the Family Federation, you seem to think that you can just get rid of 'Blessing of Glory' which True Father designated as the national anthem of Cheon Il Guk and simply replace it as you like with a newly written ‘holy song’.

A national anthem is a song that expresses the core philosophy and ethos behind the founding of that nation. It is meant to awaken the spirit of true patriotic love.

In this sense, the Cheon Il Guk National Anthem should be sung by the Unification Family with solemn hearts in praise and gratitude for the suffering heart that True Father endured when walking the path of restoration. 'Blessing of Glory' is a hymn written by True Father after he overcame the suffering of the Heungnam concentration camp. It is infused with True Father's course of suffering and victory.

When we sing the Cheon Il Guk Anthem, we are able to reflect on the suffering path of restoration and focus our hearts in filial piety and loyalty towards God and True Parents. In this way, we inscribe the meaning of the song into our hearts.

True Father clearly explained the reason why he chose ‘Blessing of Glory’ for the Cheon Il Guk Anthem. It is because this song is imbued with Father's life course.

If you thought about this aspect, would you have so easily and willfully undertaken to change the Cheon Il Guk Anthem? What kind of founding spirit is expressed by the newly minted 'Cheon Il Guk Anthem'? A Cheon Il Guk Anthem that omits the heart of Heaven is meaningless.

Nonetheless, you constructed a new anthem by modifying the lyrics of the 'New Song of Inspiration' so that they now glorify the Han Mother. Isn’t that right? You have removed True Father's restoration course of suffering and victory from the Anthem. I wonder. Did you just sing the song without heart, without reflecting on its meaning? Is this why you have concluded "anything will do?"

4) Changing the Holy Marriage vows

How is the salvation of fallen human beings accomplished? Firstly, individuals must invest themselves to live a life of faith and pass through a course of separating from Satan. In this way, he restores, in form, the position that Adam and Eve were in when they fell, namely the top of the growth stage of the growing period. On that foundation, the individual can be reborn (liquidate the original sin) by receiving the Blessing from the True Parents. After having recovered the position of Adam and Eve before the fall, the individual must attend the Messiah, the True Parent, and grow further to eventually complete the growing period and become an embodiment of perfect completion, thus moving into the direct dominion of God.

Thus, complete salvation can only be achieved through a relationship with the True Parents. The original sin must be liquidated through the Blessing of the Messiah at the top of the growth stage, where Adam and Eve fell. This is the meaning of the Blessing that we all understand.

The problem is, it is extremely difficult for human beings who carry the fallen lineage to achieve the top of the growth stage. This is why, as I expect everyone will know, the Blessing that we received from True Parents was a ‘position blessing’ or ‘conditional blessing’ received under the blanket of True Parents' grace. Because we were unable to attain the spiritual standard appropriate for receiving the Blessing, we received the conditional blessing, but then it has been our responsibility to continue to grow so that we eventually fulfill the requirements of that position.

For example, even if a blessed couple falls or for some reason the blessing is broken, it can still be recovered if a different person steps in and fulfills the responsibility required. Why? Because that blessing is not given to an actual individual. Accordingly, because we were unable to achieve the completion level of the growth stage, True Parents had us offer our promise through the holy marriage vows. On that basis, they allowed us to receive the Blessing.

Thus, True Father had all the righteous men and women who participated in the Blessing ceremony first offer a promise through the four holy marriage vows and then, on the basis of that condition, gave them the Blessing.

Accordingly, True Father would deliver the four questions of the vows, and the men and women in the Blessing ceremony would loudly declare their promise by responding "Yes!" After this, True Father would offer a benediction for the holy marriages and then declare the holy marriage accomplished.

In other words, in that "Yes!" that we offered for the four different vows, True Father accepted our promises and on the basis of that condition, gave to us the grace of the Blessing. This is an important point. We need to clearly understand that True Father gave the Blessing to all of us, brides and grooms who had not yet accomplished the completion level of the growth stage, on the condition of our promises in the form of the Blessing vows. Without our making these four promises, there is no way that God and True Parents could permit us, as fallen humans, to receive the Blessing.

Sadly, after True Father ascended to the spirit world the four holy marriage vows disappeared from the Blessing ceremony. The newly substituted single vow has a similar format, but the contents are completely different. This new solitary single vow is now the required condition for the Blessing.

Take a look at the marriage vow used at the True Family holy marriage of Moon Yeon Jin and Moon Jeong Jin. Following Foundation Day, all Unification blessing ceremonies have been conducted using the changed holy marriage vow. The four vows were replaced by a single pledge: 'Do you pledge to form a true family based on absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, centering on Heavenly Parents?'

Let me ask you this: is there no difference between the holy marriage vows and the kinds of ritualistic promises made by a couple when being married by an ordinary celebrant? They are different; the holy marriage vows given at the time of the Blessing are an unchangeable promise and pledge to God and True Parents. The Blessing is to be received on the basis of the vows provided by True Father. If someone else's vows are involved, then it is not True Father's Blessing. To be a blessed family, the vows have to be the vows provided by True Father. If you give a different pledge, then you simply remain as you are, and establishing another fallen family. Is this point too hard to grasp?

Think about it! How can God bless these brides and grooms, who have not yet reached the completion level of the growth stage, if they have not actually given their promise to live according to God's will? Oh, they offered a promise, sure, not to God, but to some other being, so how can God and True Father possibly recognize the Blessing they received? They cannot.

The Foundation Day blessing was a blessing without a relationship to God or True Father, a blessing at odds with the Principle of Creation itself. The Foundation Day blessing was the blessing of an Archangel who operated under the name 'heavenly parent'. From the viewpoint of the Principle, this blessing should never have existed. It is an unprincipled, misshapen blessing.

All families that received the Blessing after Foundation Day have taken part in a new type of blessing. They drank the 'holy wine' provided under the dominion of the being known as 'heavenly parents,' a holy wine very different from the one that True Father gave to us. Thus, the Blessing that we previously received from the Messiah, the True Parent, was erased, replaced by the blessing of the archangel, a blessing which has no connection to True Father at all.

This is truly dreadful, an absolutely appalling development. And you, you have to take this seriously and snap out of it!! Because of this situation, none of the families in the Family Federation are blessed. Regardless of whether they were blessed in the past, all these families have collapsed into a position where they have no connection with the Blessing of God, the Blessing of the True Parent.

Likewise, there are no second generation in the Family Federation either. Now do you understand why Moon Hyung Jin has been scolding Family Federation members so much? He has been calling out to you for the whole of the past year, trying to rescue the Family Federation families who, unbeknownst to themselves, all received a false blessing. He has been shouting out and calling to you with all his heart, pleading for you to return to True Father.

Do you not yet understand why he took such offense at the leaders of the Family Federation? Why he labeled them swindlers? Do you still not get it? This is why he has been making so much noise, even calling you idiots, fools, even morons? It’s in order to snap you out of it! To wake you up!

Unless families Federation pass through the 'Blessing Ceremony to Return to True Father's Authority', the archangel will never let go them go. Why? Their lineage has been changed by their participating in the archangel's ‘blessing’ wine.

Moon Hyung Jin received the Blessing from True Father. He was anointed and blessed as Father’s representative body and heir. In that coronation from the King of Kings, Moon Hyung Jin was proclaimed as True Father's successor before all of heaven and earth. But there is more to it. We also have to realize that True Father handed over to Hyung Jin Nim the authority to give the Blessing. To members of the true family, to the second generation, to first generation, to previously married couples, and even to the spirit world. For this reason, no Blessing that excludes Moon Hyung Jin can be a true Blessing.

All of you have received a false blessing. You have to receive the Blessing again from True Father's representative body. There is no blessing that Mother can give alone. The Blessing must be conferred by a couple - the heir's couple - which still stands representing Heaven.

For these reasons, only the Blessing given by Moon Hyung Jin is the true blessing. All others, each and every one, are false. Who can make the holy wine? If True Father was alive, then it would obviously be True Father. But after True Father has ascended, only his representative body and heir is qualified to make the holy wine. True holy wine contains the lineage of Heaven, but the holy wine provided by the Family Federation is a ‘holy’ wine given by the Archangel. It is not the same holy wine we received from Heaven through True Father in the past.

The holy marriage vows are not something someone just made up. We can find their meaning through the Principle of Creation. It is not simply a matter of asking "Do you pledge?" The vows themselves must comply with the Creation Principle.

Besides the marriage blessing, we all participated in a number of blessing ceremonies while True Father was still alive. These include the Cheon Il Guk Registration Blessing and the Blessing Ceremony for the Coronation of God's Kingship, etc. In each case, we were given the same holy vows. And in each case, we responded with a loud voice: "Yes!" Is it possible that these were simply ritualistic vows, that had no specific meaning? Actually, True Father is a very thorough person, and he always gave the Blessing to each blessed family on the basis of them giving him their promise and pledge.

Family Federation members who attended the post-Foundation Day blessing ceremonies can only return to the position of blessed families blessed by True Father by repenting for their false blessing ceremony and receiving the blessing once again through the "Blessing Ceremony to Return to True Father's Authority".

The Family Federation Forced donations

A Variety of Deeds that Break Away from God's Providential Will

5) Forced donations

More than any other religion on earth, the Family Federation demands many donations from its members.

Of course, it’s true that there was a huge donation providence during the time that True Father was alive. During Father’s lifetime, a truly astronomical amount of money was invested in front-line activities, making it possible for True Father to make incredible progress and accomplish great success. Whether it was in the field of politics, business, media, society, culture, the arts, education or humanitarian relief, or in projects that included scholarships, the Peace Cup, the inter-religious movement, the ecumenical movement, global peace work, exchanges between North and South Korea, the Han-Il Tunnel Project, etc. In all these areas, True Father achieved things that not even nations as powerful as the USA could accomplish.

However, according to the grapevine, since True Father went to the spirit world, the global providential activities once pursued by True Father have either been terminated or greatly reduced. What ongoing providential projects currently remain? On the other hand, the donation providence not only continues, but is being increased day after day. After True Father went to the spirit world, Mother Hak Ja Han proclaimed 'unceasing progress', but in truth, all but a few activities have been halted. The only thing that has progressed without halt is the donation providence.

Just a short time ago, Japanese members were told to “get the victory of 210,000 yen (approx. $2000), 3 new members and 1 blessing candidate (including 1,400,000 yen donation (approx. $12,500)) per family by August 30”.

But let’s see. Are donations war? The Japanese leadership are saying that if you give all these donations, you’re being victorious! It almost makes me laugh, or cry. Members are also told to make donations in order to receive a 'Filial Piety Award'. So does this mean that if you don’t make the donations, you’re not being filial, or dutiful?

In the meantime, a variety of other donations and responsibilities are also being assigned. New donation requests come out almost every day. There’s so many, it’s actually hard to try and list them all: a mourning donation of 400,000 yen ($3,500), a donation of 120,000 yen ($1,000) for the third anniversary of True Father's passing, and so on.

On top of this, we now have this thing called 'Heongeum Cheong Seong' (‘donation devotions’). Members have actually been asked to make special donations as ‘a condition’ so that Hyung Jin Nim will return back to Mother, and members are apparently being interviewed about this, family by family.

The purpose of the interviews is no doubt to find out how much each individual family can donate. In other words, the Federation simply intends to gouge out as much cash as possible. I wonder: when they use Moon Hyung Jin as an excuse for collecting more donations, will they send the donations over to him?

In June of this year (2016), instructions were issued that 'the 4 holy items' will be bestowed, which of course means more donations. You have to admit; these people have some pretty big cojones.

According to what I’ve heard, after Father’s ascension, the Pyeong Hwa Automobile venture was handed over to the North Korea regime. True Father established that project in order to promote the unification of North and South Korea. Unfortunately, there is no real way to know what is going on behind the scenes. So despite the fact that a colossal amount of public funds were invested in the Pyeong Hwa Automobile venture (all for the purpose of promoting economic cooperation to help North-South unification), our members have no way to know why the venture was abandoned and why it was handed over lock, stock and barrel to the North Korean regime. North-South unification is still very far away.

Why is it, do you think, that the poor Unificationist members – all of who have to bear such massive ‘donation responsibilities’ in the name of the Providence - are not allowed to know anything at all about the operation of public assets? Also, how are they supposed to interpret the almost daily revelations about the misuse of public assets by so many church officials?

From what I hear, many Japanese members have lost their homes because of debts they incurred from making donations. These members end up being ostracized by their relatives and living on the streets. I have heard of second gen members who only eat one meal a day, and the only reason they get that meal is because their school provides it free of charge.

Why is the Federation squeezing and squeezing and squeezing Japanese members? Do they intend to eventually squeeze out their blood, and then try squeezing them some more? What for? Is this for the sake of Providence? What kind of providence makes members into delinquent borrowers and abject beggars? Seriously, what kind of providential activities are you currently pursuing?

Then again, it was recently announced that the Federation will build the Sonhak Memorial Hall. So I guess you can do the math. The decision was made to sell off the Soo Teck Ni holy grounds. When the local members expressed their opposition, and made a local vote, the leadership ignored the result and instead kept on pushing and pushing with new rounds of votes until eventually the ‘decision was made to sell’. Is this supposed to be some kind of ‘democratic election method? Is this how you make decisions by asking the members what they think? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

And it’s now being said that even the New Yorker building will be handed over to non-church people.

So what is this big push to sell off all Father’s holy grounds and buildings? These things should be preserved for history and posterity! And what’s the goal? To make some sort of memorial hall? What is the memorial building supposed to memorialize?

Members are being activated for the donation providence. They are mobilized in heavenly tribal messiah activities, and they hand out flyers in the streets. They recruit bachelor farmers in rural areas with the promise that if they join, they can quickly get a bride and get blessed. So how much are those blessing donations? You tell us that the cost of the Blessing is 6,000,000 won (approx. $5300).

I'm told that the fee in Japan is more, about 14,000,000 won (approx. $12000). What is it that costs so much? The participants prepare their own rings, clothes, neckties, bridal veils, right? Is it the donations that make them owners of Cheon Il Guk?

Let’s be honest. They aren’t owners of Cheon Il Guk. Aren’t they really Cheon Il Guk slaves?

Indentured servants? I really want to ask you. If Japanese members are mobilized for the donation providence and end up selling their houses, in what sense will they actually be 'blessed'? Or is it better if they become enslaved by a mortgage, offer up their retirement funds, and in debt? If they become defaulting borrowers, eventually kicked out in to the street? Is that all right?

I’ve heard that as soon as a member makes as many donations as they can, the church steps in and mortgages the member's house and then walks off with the bank's money. If you mortgage someone's house and take the money, don't you have a responsibility to later pay both the interest and the principal and recover the mortgage? Meanwhile, church officials live in luxury and extravagance. It's outrageous.

As President, Hyung Jin Nim instructed that public assets be sold off before the Family Federation leaders gobble them up. He directed that the money be used to pay back the debts incurred by Japanese members in making their providential donations.

Yet, church members have no idea why Tongil Financial Group chairman Moon Kook Jin and Father’s successor, Moon Hyung Jin, were so suddenly expelled and moved to the United States.

Hyung Jin and Kook Jin were actually putting things right in the church, and this brought them into direct conflict with many, many avaricious church leaders, leaders the brothers refused to cooperate with. This, my friend, is the reason they were expelled.

True Father and Moon Hyung Jin

True Father and Moon Hyung Jin

1) Three Generation Kingships the Importance of Lineage

The deepest form of love exists between father and son. If there is anyone who is willing give up his own life and give all his love for another, it's a father for his son, or a son for his father. For this reason, if the two become one, then even the universe cannot pull them apart. [2009. 12. 6. Cheon Jeong Gung]

Here, True Father explains that the most profound definition of love is the father-son relationship. In these words, Father is telling us is that even the universe cannot pull True Father and his representative body Moon Hyung Jin apart. For this reason, True Father truly dwells together with Hyung Jin Nim. Sadly, the leaders of the Family Federation are trying to do something that even the universe cannot accomplish: pull apart and separate Father and Son.

True Father chose Moon Hyung Jin as the successor for the providence to follow True Father. He directly invested Moon Hyung Jin, World President at that time, as his representative body and heir. He did this by conducting three separate coronation ceremonies, each proclaiming Moon Hyung Jin his successor to all of heaven and earth.

True Father's designated successor cannot be changed simply by human whim. Even Mother does not have the authority to deny and negate this. Father’s designation is the will of the King of Kings. Moreover, on top of this designation, True Father also determined Shin Joon Nim as the third heir and established the three generations of kingship.

So why did Moon Hyung Jin have to leave the Cheon Jeong Gung? Precisely because he is the representative body and heir. Why was Moon Kook Jin Nim expelled and forced to go to the United States of America? Precisely because he was the CEO of the Tongil conglomerate group.

The leaders of the Family Federation present the argument that True Father's children all have 5% responsibility. I’m not going to deny that. However, in reality, when True Father decided on his heir, it had to be someone who had already had completed his portion of responsibility. Of all 7 of True Father's sons, Moon Hyung Jin was victorious in his portion of responsibility, and that’s why True Father bequeathed to him the Blessing, designating him as his representative body and heir.

Isn't that clear? At the coronation ceremony for the King of Kings, Hyung Jin Nim wore the mantle of True Parents and inherited the authority of the Blessing precisely because he was victorious. Federation leaders say that he had some portion of responsibility to fulfill after the Blessing was bequeathed to him, but does this make sense, logically speaking? How do you check the portion of responsibility after the coronation ceremony has been held? Does it mean that if someone is crowned, you watch and see if they fulfill their responsibility, and if they don’t you later take the crown back from them?

In his speeches to officials of the Family Federation, True Father had already declared that, in every possible way, Hyung Jin Nim excelled, exceeding everyone in faith and practice. Nonetheless, many members are taken in by the crafty, sly logic of the Federation leadership. This is the Principle – a person is blessed as the heir after he has completed his portion of responsibility. But while True Father recognized Hyung Jin Nim as someone who completed his portion of responsibility, Hak Ja Han does not give him the same recognition. While True Father recognized Hyung Jin Nim, Mother is now denying him. It seems that the ruler used by Mother to measure her son is different from the one used by True Father. And yet, despite this reality, the Family Federation continues to insist that ’True Parents’ are one! They are one!"

The blessing to be the heir is given to one who has completed his responsibility. That is the Principle. Just pause and think about it. True Father was not one to conduct the providence in a slack or sloppy manner. Moon Hyun Jin, Father's third son, was unable to become the successor. In my opinion, it was probably because he could not gain the victory of his portion of responsibility.

And of course, being born as a true child doesn't mean automatically achieving perfection. The true children only obtain dominion over the creation by completing their own portion of responsibility and accomplishing individual perfection and family perfection. This is the way that the ideal of True Parents is connected to future generations, but being born, as a true child doesn’t guarantee that the providence will automatically connect through you.

In fact, the true children were continuously subject to Satan's attack because Satan has dominated the physical realm. Even Jesus himself was tested by Satan, and as True Father explained, the true children might well end up as providential sacrifices. Why? Because Satan continuously attacked and attacked in order to destroy the True Family. Regretfully, the true children were subject to the most arduous temptations and suffering. Heung Jin Nim, the second son, ascended early to the spirit world, as did Young Jin Nim and Hyo Jin Nim after him. Each of the other true children also experienced colossal trials and tests.

Nonetheless, if there are no children to connect the victories of True Parents to future generations, then the providence will be cutoff and interrupted. To our amazing great fortune, Moon Hyung Jin, the seventh son, was able to maintain his unwavering focus and ultimately claim victory in his portion of responsibility. Through tremendous levels of internal and external discipline and training, he accomplished a level of filial attendance and maturity of heart, plus unity as a couple, such that True Father could confer on him his own authority and designate him as the heir, representative body, and the center of the cosmic providential heritage.

Think about what happened in the Garden of Eden. Eve at the top of the growth stage was seduced by the temptation of the Archangel. She ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, and fell. Fallen Eve then reversed dominion over Adam, causing him to fall, so that Adam became a false husband and Eve became a false wife. Together, fallen Adam and Eve became a false couple, and Cain and Abel were born into a false family. God worked to have these sons establish both a foundation of faith and a substantial foundation that would allow him to send the Messiah, but the elder brother Cain slew the younger brother Abel, and in this manner, the restoration of Adam's family failed.

The people at the Family Federation say that Moon Hyung Jin was unfilial towards Mother, but the facts do not support this assertion.

Let’s take a closer look. The nexus of the current situation is True Father. The key issue we are faced with is, do we keep his words, or abandon them? Will we preserve the teachings, processes and principles that True Father left behind, or will we desert them?

In the center of this scenario stands Moon Hyung Jin. Mother has left her original position as True Parent with True Father, and Hyung Jin Nim is denouncing the leaders of the Family Federation for improperly attending Mother.

The core question of the dispute is this: are we adhering to the intention and the directions of the Messiah? The headquarters of the Family Federation, however, have tried to shift the focus so that it centers on the issue of ‘unfilial behavior towards Mother’.

Did Moon Hyung Jin badger Mother or pester her for the King's position? Did he demand that he be given assets or wealth? Or perhaps he tried to drive Mother out of the church organization? Out of the community? Did he say that he is the one who is the Messiah?

No. The fact is, Moon Hyung Jin did none of these things. The only thing he did was to say “Do not change True Father's words, teachings, processes and principles”.

Now, he has no choice except to warn all the members of the Family Federation who fell into satanic dominion to return to the realm of True Father's authority. He has denounced the actions of the Family Federation headquarters – the ones who say that the era of True Father has finished and it is now the era of Mother. Hyung Jin Nim is telling us that True Father’s ascension to the spirit world doesn’t mean that True Father's work and activity are finished. Actually, it was after Jesus died on the cross that his spiritual activity rose in such a powerful way that the Roman Empire itself was brought to submission. This is why Hyung Jin Nim is shouting at us with all his strength: so that we do not destroy the foundation upon which the Messiah - True Father - can conduct his spiritual activities.

All these actions are clearly intended to preserve True Father's will and purpose. Don't you think that Hyung Jin Nim knew that if he just compromised a little bit with the unrighteousness at Cheon Jeong Gung, he could have preserved his position as successor in the church structure? If he had simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see what was going on, then after Mother passed to the spirit world, he would have become the most powerful person in the Unification Church? He would have been the master of Cheon Jeong Gung and the one with authority over all the Unification family and the one in control of all the Unification assets.

Nonetheless, Hyung Jin Nim chose to uphold the principle that the words, teachings, processes and order established by True Father, the King of Kings, cannot be interfered with. With a profound sense of responsibility, he fearlessly stood his ground to preserve the traditions that the Messiah, Savior and King of Kings had established, even if it meant he lost all power, riches and worldly honor. Is this what you call unfilial behavior? Not in my book. Instead, we should be recognizing it for what it truly is: the very model and essence of filial piety. Hyung Jin Nim is a truly filial son. And because of that, he is being persecuted.

After True Father's ascension, Hyung Jin Nim had no choice but to lay down all his public positions and depart for the United States. He left behind the Cheon Jeong Gung, and soon he was blocked from staying even at East Garden. Eventually, he had no where to turn except for a little, out-of-the way corner of Pennsylvania.

Have you ever truly thought about Hyung Jin Nim's situation? About how he had no choice but to go into the wilderness? Hyung Jin Nim is someone who abandoned all power and glory so that he could protect and preserve True Father. How can anyone label this course as a rebellion or as insubordination to True Parents? That’s such a slanderous accusation. Having been blessed as the representative body and heir by the Messiah, the King of Kings, Hyung Jin Nim found himself in a situation where he was the only one who could preserve and protect True Father's providence. As the most filial of filial sons, he stepped out to safeguard True Father's will and traditions, even if meant he had to abandon everything else. Please! Don’t believe all the slanderous libels being made against him. Rather, listen to him directly. Listen to his sermons!

Considering our current circumstances, will we be able to protect and preserve the teachings, organizational structures and cosmic order that True Father left behind? Will we be able to pass them down to thousands of future generations? Or will Father’s words and legacy be modified? Redacted? Changed? Will they remain only as a distorted version of Father's final work? Will they be a momentary blip on the scale of history, such that True Father becomes someone who is gradually forgotten over time?

This is the question. We are now faced with a fork in the road: will we preserve Heaven's lineage and safeguard the will of the Messiah, passing them on to future generations, or will we not. There is a reasoning, a narrative being put forward that the issue is really some sort of power struggle between mother and son, but this is the work of spin doctors. It is nothing more than a stratagem to divert attention away from the true issue.

If you at the Family Federation headquarters are right, then you should confront Moon Hyung Jin’s assertions and show how they are either right or wrong. It’s cowardly to just avoid the issue by throwing out emotionally charged statements such 'Hyung Jin is being unfilial', 'Hyung Jin is too angry....' etc. It is neither just nor righteous to side-step Moon Hyung Jin’s assertions with a stony silence, all the while continuing to extort church members behind the scenes.

The essence and core of the current situation revolves around the person of True Father himself:

• Who tried to protect and preserve Father's life to the very end? Who tried to end Father's life for human-centered reasons?
• Who tried to preserve the blessing traditions that True Father left behind, and who in fact changed True Father's blessing traditions?
• Who tried to preserve True Father's Eight Great Textbooks, and who went ahead and modified, redacted and changed True Father's teachings?
• Who invested to preserve the lineage established by True Father, and who denied True Father's lineage?
• Who has protected and preserved the representative body and heir established by True Father, and who drove True Father's representative body and heir out and away?

It is important to drill down to the true nature of the issue.

• Have you memorized the Family Pledge? Do you recite the third verse from memory? Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to perfect the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Generation Kingships and the Realm of the Royal Family, by centering on true love.
• Are you keeping your pledge, your promise? Are you pledging to perfect the Three Generation Kingships? Do you keep that pledge, or are you not keeping it? Is it okay to just go ahead like you have been?

If you are not keeping this promise, it means you are traitors to the Messiah, the King of Kings. If you continue in this direction, you’ll have to change the words of the Family Pledge: “Our family pledges to deny the Three Generations Kingships and the Realm of the Royal Family.” At least that will be honest.

The Importance of Lineage

(Pyeong Hwa Hoon Gyeong p. 16-17, God's Ideal family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful Ideal World I)

What is the most painful Han that has affected God's heart throughout all of history, ever since the fall of Adam and Eve? God’s most painful han was the loss of Heaven's lineage, the loss of the realm of brotherhood and the loss even of the realm of ownership.

Lineage is more precious than life, and it is more important than love. Lineage is created through the fusion of life and love together. Lineage cannot be created without life and cannot be created without love. Love, life and lineage exist, but the fruit of these is found within lineage.

The seed of true love exists within God's lineage and the body of true life is alive within God's lineage.

Accordingly, when you are connected to this lineage, the ideal human envisioned by God – perfection of character - becomes possible. Moreover, the ideal family comes into being, and from there, God's homeland and ideal nation can emerge.

This is how the kingdom of the peaceful ideal world comes to be established. You need to inscribe this on your hearts: how important lineage is. You can never overemphasize the importance of lineage.

Changes to True Father's final prayer

A Variety of Deeds that Break Away from God's Providential Will

Changes to True Father's final prayer

On page 21 of the October 2012 issue of 'Tongil Segye', the text of True Father's final prayer was published. However, the content of the text of True Father's final prayer that was published in the Revised Cheon Seong Gyeong (Korean version, page 1646) is different. Moreover, the video released to members at the True Father's ascension ceremony also contains doctored contents.

So you even went as far as to falsify the text of True Father's final prayer. True Father left behind many prayers, but the 'Final Prayer' is a treasure of treasures, and should be handed down eternally together with 'Crown of Glory', so why are you hiding the text of this prayer from us, when we have followed True Parents all of our lives? You have to release the full unedited text of True Father's final prayer! Why have you only released doctored content on a made-up video that doesn’t reflect the truth? What does Father’s final prayer contain, such that you would want to cover it up?

So it turns out that the leadership of the Family Federation edited the full text of True Father's final prayer. Where on earth is the original text?

This final prayer is part of True Father's last will and testament. It includes content where he puts his life in order, content that he is passing down to future generations. It is our final opportunity to listen to True Father's words. Given this preciousness, the text should be accurately preserved for future generations with each syllable, each paused breath, left intact and untouched.

Unfortunately, as things now stand, the original can no longer be found anywhere, either in video form or in recorded text. I’d like to know who it is who is so arbitrarily messing around with and reworking the text of True Father’s final prayer. What kind of heart do they have towards True Father, towards his directions and teachings? Moreover, who entrusted this person with responsibility for preserving True Father's words? For what reason?

At this point, I find it impossible to place my faith in the text in Tongil Segye or the text in the revised Cheon Seong Gyeong. Neither can I place my faith in the doctored video, either.

In the fabricated video, True Father and Hak Ja Han are shown holding hands and praying. Why was this image used? Actually, the answer is obvious. It’s because in the actual situation, they were not holding hands and praying.

The video of final prayer that you are showing us uses images from the special proclamation ceremony conducted at Cheon Hwa Gung on April 14, 2012.

So what is this all about? Why are you lying to us? Why have you covered up the final prayer given on August 13 with an image from another time?

An expert audio analysis conducted in Japan definitively shows that the recording of the final prayer has been tampered with. While it is clear that it is True Father speaking, the audio analysis shows that the video track and the audio track are totally out of synch, and the audio track has been manipulated in a number of places. This is seriously criminal behavior.

At this point, the leadership of the Family Federation has to stop playing with the members and make the entire video recording of True Father's final prayer available. Moreover, it is only natural for members to demand this.

Or perhaps you simply think that it's unnecessary for members to know about this? But I ask you: is it unprincipled to request the facts? Does it go against the path of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience? If so, then to whom should this absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience be directed, and by who?

Absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience is something that we must offer to God and the King of Kings, right? It is not something we are supposed to offer to the leaders of the Family Federation. Should we have absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience towards someone who tells us lies? Mother herself has to offer absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience to God and True Father.

We have given our faith and attendance to True Father and, as his children, we have followed him all our lives.... Is it wrong for True Father's children to want to see the original, unedited recording of his prayer? Is this in some way an unprincipled request?

Brothers and sisters! You must wake up! The leaders for whom you so often stand up and applaud have stolen the truth about True Father from you.

They are altering, doctoring, fabricating True Father's image in pursuit of their own ends. They are not followers of True Father. They are his betrayers.

Apparently unafraid of Heaven, they laugh and sing and cheer as they like here in the physical world.

And you... too many of you simply follow them, being led by the nose like slaves on a chain. In the meantime, Heaven's wrath is approaching.

The Meaning of ‘True Parents

The Meaning of ‘True Parents’

The expression 'True Parent' does not refer to a particular individual human being. 'True Parent' refers to a specific, original position within God's ideal of creation, and that ideal could have been completed through the True Parent. However, due to the fall of the first human ancestors, the ideal of the True Parent was not realized, and the providence of restoration was begun in order to recover and establish that position.

Unfortunately, due to human faithlessness, when Jesus came on the foundation of 4000 years of providence, he was unable to find his bride and he departed, leaving behind the promise to return once again. He was unable to accomplish the ideal of the True Parent.

After 2000 years passed, Sun Myung Moon came to Earth as the returning lord and as the True Parent. He chose the young Hak Ja Han and victoriously established the 'Marriage Supper of the Lamb', so that through the two of them, finally, for the first time in the fallen world, true children of God's lineage could be born. That marks the point that ‘True Parents’ first emerged on the Earth in all of human history.

Accordingly, it thus became possible for fallen people to receive salvation by believing in the True Parents, by being engrafted into them, and by participating in a ceremony for rebirth. This is why fallen human beings must attend the True Parents as their absolute subject. They must practice absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience towards the True Parents.

But there is more to it than this. Within True Parents themselves, there is a subject and object. The In front of True Father, True Mother is in the position of object. True Mother must practice absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience towards True Father. Because she is the True Mother, she must model that position of absolute object for all members, and to an extent greater than all members.

True Mother gave birth to 14 true children by receiving True Father's seed, which carries the lineage of God. This is Mother's first mission, and being victorious in this mission made it possible for her to rise to the position of True Parents.

Her second mission is to attend and protect the lineage of God. Although the true children are True Mother's children, from the viewpoint of lineage, they are True Father's lineage. That is clear. In other words, they were born carrying the lineage of Heaven. True Mother is the true children's mother, but from the viewpoint of lineage, her lineage is the Han lineage. This is an indisputable fact: that Hak Ja Han was in the position of True Mother, but from the viewpoint of lineage, she is not of Heaven's lineage. Putting 'True' before someone's name doesn’t determine whether or not the person is from Heaven's direct lineage. That’s why the lineage of the true children is the lineage of Heaven and is higher than True Mother's lineage.

We have to understand this point clearly.

Mother was not victorious in her second mission, to protect and uplift the two sons that True Father established as Cain and Abel. She cast out the son that True Father established as his representative body, heir and successor and, determined to become the representative body, heir and successor herself, raised herself to the position of Queen. Despite the fact that Mother was in the position where she must honor and protect True Father's lineage after he ascended to the spirit world, she actually oppressed and ignored True Father's lineage and asserted that she herself is the Messiah with the purified lineage.

In this way, she left the original position of True Mother. But the fact that Hak Ja Han left her position does not mean that the True Parents Providence itself has failed.

Why? Because Mother Hak Ja Han left the position of True Mother of her own accord, the position of True Mother is left vacant. Meanwhile, True Father completed his own mission and remains in the position of True Parent, and because True Father holds that position and stands as the absolute subject, the True Parents Providence has neither failed nor become invalid.

By denying her absolute subject and acting to raise herself to that subject position, the Han Mother, who is to be the absolute object, has taken herself out of the position of True Parent. Thus, even though Hak Ja Han left her position, the providence of True Parents has not failed.

True Father completed all aspects of his mission, but the mission of True Mother remains to be completed. True Father's words testify to this. By failing to attend True Father as her subject, Mother came to depart the position of True Parent and the path to salvation can no longer be open through her. It is a truly regrettable state of affairs.

In all the cosmos, what more glorious position is there than the position of True Mother?

Externally, the expression 'True Parents' refers to True Father and True Mother, but internally, in means that the two of them are not divided but are in fact one. It means that their words, their goals, their ideal, their purpose and their direction is absolutely united.

Thus, when we spoke about True Father's teachings and providential actions, we used the honorific expression 'True Parents' based on the belief that Father and Mother were completely one and acted in complete oneness. However, in reality, on the inside, True Father's teachings and activities are the central aspect, and Mother's words and activities have never been the central focus. Every member of the Unification family knows this.

But if indeed Hak Ja Han's purpose and ideal have become separate and independent of True Father following his ascension, then the situation is even more serious. Each and every one of us believed that Mother had become completely one with True Father. We believed that Mother had followed the path of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience towards True Father and perfected herself as the completed Eve. On that basis, just as we offered respect, honor and glory to the True Father, we also offered these to the True Mother who was one with him.

However, after True Father's ascension to the spirit world, we see a situation where the principles, teachings and instructions that he left us are being erased step by step.

We see, before our very eyes, that True Father's will and Hak Ja Han's will are not one and the same. And if they are not one and the same, it means they are in fact separate and divided. If they are separated, sadly, then who we should follow? It goes without saying that we must follow True Father.

There can be no question about this. We don't need some sophisticated explanation about it either. This means that the people who cause chaos and confusion for the members using the name of 'True Parents', the people who promote the spin, the false propaganda that Mother is one mind, one body with Father even while she goes along a completely different path - these people are simply archangels who have betrayed True Father.

• "From the very start, I came as the Messiah and the only begotten daughter."
• "Father's lineage is a lineage with original sin, right?"
• "I was born without original sin."
• "I am Hananim."

Hak Ja Han has said all these things publicly, and the ideal of the True Mother that we attended all those years has now drifted away like a mist in the wind. The assertions from the Family Federation that "True Parents are one" are nothing more than a sleight of hand they use to exploit True Father's status and accomplishments.

Moon Hyung Jin gave the Han Mother many opportunities to repent and return to Father. He opened up a path for her to leave the position in which she betrayed True Father and to return to the two sons who were victorious as Cain and Abel. Then he gave her a deadline.

He made all this public through his sermons, which communicate God’s will from a deep place of spiritual exchange between Hyung Jin Nim and True Father in the realm under True Father's direct governance. These sermons were the final notice given by Father to Mother. Yet, as we all know, Mother ignored this communication.

Accordingly, on a particular day, with tears streaming from his eyes, Hyung Jin Nim offered to Heaven a ceremony that formally invested Shin Joon Nim as the prince and the next in line. Hyung Jin Nim had all his children gather on the platform at the front of the chapel and had them offer a Kyeong bae bow to Shin Joon Nim. Moreover, he had Yeon Ah Nim offer Kyeong bae to Shin Joon Nim as well. In that Kyeong bae, Yeon Ah Nim pledged to attend Shin Joon Nim as King, even though she is the mother who gave him birth.

In this manner, Hyung Jin Nim had Yeon Ah Nim make a vow, publicly, that she would attend Shin Joon Nim as king and never usurp his rightful position when he rises to the position of the 3rd king, even if Hyung Jin Nim is not alive at that time. On that day, the chapel was deeply solemn, awash in a veritable sea of tears. Everyone shed tears: Hyung Jin Nim shed tears, Yeonah Nim shed tears, the children shed tears and the members shed tears. All Sanctuary brothers and sisters who watched this were moved in their hearts.

In this manner, by Yeonah Lee accepting and taking over this responsibility, the responsibility given to True Mother has moved on from her. Hak Ja Han has descended into a position of failure, so that even if she repents and returns to God’s will, she will never be able to return to the position of the True Mother, even if she does return to her correct position as Moon Hyung Jin's mother on an individual level.

This is not the will of Moon Hyung Jin. This is the will of True Father. The mission of Eve has been passed on, and it has been passed on because the central figure who was given the responsibility failed. We know that when a central figure fails in the calling given by Heaven, Heaven does not choose that person again. Mother has quite simply become Hak Ja Han, someone who failed her responsibility.

There is no position more glorious than that of the True Mother, and yet Hak Ja Han threw it away. She threw away True Father in order to lift herself up. She left the position of True Mother, and stumbled into a place where she has no connection with True Father.

The Realm of True Parents

Proclamation of the Perfect Completion of the Realm of True Parents'

Final Oneness

The Family Federation asserts that Mother cannot fail because True Parents were perfected. Accordingly, they assert, denying Mother is tantamount to denying True Parents and denying True Father's providence. Moreover, they say that because True Father prayed 'all is completed, all is completed' in his final prayer, when Sanctuary members deny that all is completed, they are in effect denying True Father.

The Family Federation says that Sanctuary brothers and sisters who make these claims are part of an unprincipled group and they (the Federation) condemn Hyung Jin Nim as an unfilial son and a failure who undermines True Mother’s authority and dignity. Because of this, even though Family Federation members won’t actually deny that the Family Federation is doing many problematic things,

they conclude that it would not be of any help to follow a group that denies True Parents. Considering how critical all these issues are, it is important that we resolve them by zeroing in on True Father's Will and purpose.

Let's take a look at True Father's teachings.

May the fifteenth, 2010, according to the Heavenly Calendar... this day is an important day. It concerns is a secret, final declaration signed by Mother and I together at 25 minutes past 3 o’clock in the morning, before breakfast. This is something even the God of Night and the God of Day don't know about. So what is this 35 minutes past 3 o’clock thing, made before breakfast on May the fifteenth, 2010? This is the time that, centering on every thing that has happened so far, Mother and I secretly made a promise concerning Korea and the direction of things to come; it is the time when Mother promised that she would unite with me without fail and go ahead on that basis. Before this, Mother never said that she would go ahead becoming one with the Parent. She couldn't publicly proclaim that before God and the Earth and the world. This event, the one that took place at 25 minutes past three, at 25 minutes past 3 o'clock in the morning on May 15, 2010, Heavenly Calendar, is when Mother and Father promised this centering on God prior to the final end of the fallen world. "Aha. As we greet the era of the completion, conclusion and finalization of the Old Testament, New Testament and Completed Testament eras, I declare this by offering the era of the entire whole, the entire range, of the entire (complete) authority and entire ability (omnipotence) that perfects and completes the realm of final oneness between True Father and True Mother!"

(Printed in Tongil Segye 2010 July edition, July 1, 2010 (solar) 'God's ancestral homeland is Korea')

If we look at the words of Father above, Father is explaining that Mother promised, at 3:25 (3:35) am on May 15, 2010, that she would absolutely become one with True Father, and he calls this the secret ‘final declaration’ document. He is telling us that True Father and True Mother dedicated the era of the entire whole, the entire range, of the entire (complete) authority and entire ability (omnipotence) that perfects, completes the realm of final oneness on the basis of Mother promising to be aligned with Father, to proceed united with Father without fail. This is clear. However, if Mother does not keep her promise to be aligned with Father, in other words if she doesn't align herself with True Father going forward and takes the subject position herself and goes a different path, what would happen?

What would happen to True Father's offering of the Era of Full Transcendence, Full Imminence, Full Authority and Omnipotence in which the realm of final oneness with Mother has been perfectly completed and concluded?

It cannot be canceled or revoked. Even if, for some reason, Mother fails to keep her promise, True Father cannot deny something that he has offered to Heaven. What happens, however, is that Mother would fail in her portion of responsibility. In other words, the realm of the final oneness of True Parents has already been offered, but Mother is unable to stand in the position of True Parent. This is because she left the position of True Mother by her own volition after the offering had been made.

What is the meaning of 'True Parents'? True Parents refers not to fallen parents but to the unfallen true parents, the original ancestors of humankind that God intended to establish from the beginning. Thus, True Parents only appear through the true children. If no true children are born, then a person cannot become the True Parents. True children were born to the family of True Parents. Accordingly, the ideal of true parents that God envisioned for this earth in the beginning was realized in the physical world by the couple of Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han. By giving birth to original true children of a pure lineage that is free from fallen nature, this is how True Parents come into being. The members of the Unification family attended Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han as True Parents and were engrafted into their lineage. Even though we were born with fallen nature due to original sin, we were able to remove the original sin and become blessed families separated from Satan by denying our physical parents and devoting ourselves to attend Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han as True Parents, then drinking the holy wine and receiving the Blessing.

Look at True Parents' family. Sun Myung Moon, who came to earth with Heaven's lineage and accomplished the perfection of personality, took the young Hak Ja Han, whom heaven had prepared, as his bride and accomplished the holy marriage. After a severe and harsh 7-year period for the perfection of Eve, finally a true couple were established on the earth. Moreover, by giving birth to children, they became true parents.

Unfortunately, not all of the true children were able to complete perfection of character in following with True Parents will, but the 7th son, Moon Hyung Jin, preserved an absolute standard and was successful in his portion of responsibility to accomplish perfection of character, and after joining in holy marriage, was able to complete his family. Moon Hyung Jin was appointed to the position of World President by True Father. He brought new hope to the Unification family and was an object of respect and faith from the Unification community. Following this, he was blessed by True Parents as the representative body and heir.

Moon Kook Jin Nim was appointed to the role of the Tongil group CEO by True Father, after which he stamped out all the dysfunctional business practices of the Unification family and perfected the foundation for financial independence. In addition, Moon Kook Jin Nim and Moon Hyung Jin Nim received True Father's blessing as the victorious Cain and Abel, thereby completely restoring the failure of Adam's family within the True Family, with the result that the lineage of the King of Kings is connected to future generations through the representative body and heir.

When True Father said 'it is all completed' in his final prayer, it does not mean that the providence was perfected and completed, but rather that the purpose of the second coming of the Messiah was fully completed because the foundation for Heaven's will to be accomplished through his lineage had been accomplished.

One thing that we have to be aware of is that even though True Parents offered the Realm of the Final Oneness of True Parents to God on May 15, 2010 on the basis of Mother's promise to Father, this was only possible because the providence that could not be accomplished through Adam's family had been achieved and perfected.

Firstly, establishment of the three kingships through three successive generations in his own lineage, through Moon Sun Myung, Moon Hyung Jin and Moon Shin Joon; Secondly, perfection of the foundation on which the Will definitely be accomplished by establishing a victorious Cain and Abel; In this way, True Father completed the mission of the Messiah by restoring all the failures in Adam's family.

Section from the text of True Father's final prayer

"Today, I performed the final completion and finalization and offered this to you, my Father. Now, we are able to return to the original Garden of Eden in which no Fall has taken place, where we are now able to transcend all the circumstances where Eve was corrupted and Adam became compromised by his portion of responsibility. With the authority of the liberation and release of all things, everything will be complete as long as someone simply follows after the parents. Everything is completed".

In my view, this is the final time that True Father made a prayer of victory.

In other words, by True Parents giving birth to 14 children in their family, the lineage of Heaven has been settled on the Earth. In addition, the three kingships of Heaven's lineage has been established through Moon Hyung Jin, who received True Parents lineage and accomplished perfection of character by maintaining the absolute standard, and Shin Joon Nim, chosen as the third king by True Father.

In other words, the lineage of God has completely been settled and firmly established on the earth. Moreover, by Cain - Moon Kook Jin Nim - maintaining absolute love and obedience to Abel - Moon Hyung Jin - the two of them became the victorious Cain and Abel.

The failure of Adam's family has been completely restored. The purpose and will of True Parents was completed.

In this way, True Parents were victorious.
