The 39th True God's Day Midnight Prayer

and True God's Day Speech

The era of restoration through indemnity is now past. We have entered the era to be governed by the law. There are many who are unwilling to believe in this. There is no need to talk of those who do not believe, for I’m sure they know plenty enough already. We are now living in a time where the germs infecting Adam’s family can be uprooted. If the world does as I would like, there will be many people in the peace-preserving forces and many peace-preserving police. Do you understand? [Yes.] ….

 

Hyun-jin nim Speaks:

Special Task Force (STF) members raise your hands. Young people don’t wear masks. That’s why I like them. I told CARP leaders and members of the first generation that we have to change culture.

True Parents Govern the Future - By Dr. Kwak Chung-hwan

I want to tell you today that without fail True Parents contemplate circumstances at length and in depth, set up sufficient conditions, prepare all that is necessary in advance and seek feasible timing beforehand whenever they give us any instruction. I have followed them and walked along the path of the will to this day taking note of a large number of details concerning the providence. Someday, in the remaining years of my mission, I wish to edit my notes and produce a book to bear witness more concretely to the glory of True Parents.

The Causes of Conflict in Korean Politics -

By Jeong Yong-seok

We need to eliminate the sense of confrontation between people of different economic levels. If the economic distance between them remains excessive and the antagonism remains severe, we will not be able to overcome the clash between the right and left. Economic care and spiritual enlightenment need to be dispensed side by side. The outlook of our president needs to be correct. If he spurns embracing the opposition party, rejects existing norms and engages in politics in which opposing views are seen as simply incompatible, left–right confrontation is inevitable. The president should accept the existing power structures and develop policies in which parties can prosper together.

 

Inside the Cheon Seong Gyeong Translation Team

Father has stated that the dissemination of Cheon Seong Gyeong throughout the world is part  of the process of substantiating Cheon Il Guk. According to Rev. Hwang Sun-jo, who is leading the Cheon Seong Gyeong translation project, Divine Principle was the word that encapsulated the Old and New Testament eras; in 1997, Father later designated certain books and speeches as the word for the Completed Testament era. Now, it is Cheon Seong Gyeong that is designated to be the word for the current time, the era of Cheon Il Guk.
