HJ Global News - Saturday 20 June 2020

 

 

[Opening]

Hello brothers and sisters and welcome to a new edition of HJ Global News.

True Mother inaugurated the era of Heavenly Parent’s Holy Community after her victorious 7-year cosmic Canaan course! True Mother has created a foundation for the divine providence to advance on the national and continental levels. This week we will review the most moving moments we witnessed during the opening of the era of heavenly nations, which emerged through a proper external framework that created a witnessing environment. May this be a time filled with grace as we inherit True Parents’ creative hearts.

 

Special on the Providence of Heavenly Nations

 

Since True Father’s ascension…Every day, experiencing intense sunny days, rain, windy weather and snowstorms, True Mother kept mourning in prayer beside True Father’s tomb. She then crossed 5600 kilometers by bus from Las Vegas to New York and visited 12 well known peaks in the Swiss Alps in a devotional journey during which she reaffirmed her strong will to fulfill promises she had made to True Father.

 

The Third Seonghwa Anniversary for the Reverend Sun Myung Moon – True Mother’s Message

 

We miss True Father so much today. Father, from now on, you have nothing to worry about. We will fulfill our responsibilities at all cost. Therefore, we hope and pray that you will now be free to go and come as you please, and to comfort God, our Heavenly Parent, who has been lonely until now, in the eternal garden of the original homeland.

 

Humanity should have carried out the tradition of 3 years of mourning, but True Mother offered it for us and then set out on a hope-filled march towards the restoration of 7 nations. We began 4 years of hope with 3 major driving strategies: witnessing, building an external foundation, and leadership training. I especially emphasized the providence of spreading the external foundation as the base for the divine providence to reach the national level.

 

True Mother – A Hyo Jeong Family Festival in Osaka

 

Together, we can establish the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. We can create that day of great joy and delight. I pray we will advance together towards that day.

 

Beginning with the Osaka Rally, True Mother blessed Japan, Korea and the United States as heavenly nations, all of which had internally responded and fulfilled requirements to attend Heavenly Parent.

In February 2017, True Mother launched an alliance of legislators by founding the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace, and in November of the same year she created the Interreligious Association for Peace and Development, uniting leaders of all religions, making them partners in establishing the external foundation for Heavenly Nations. In 2017, through 12 hopeful march forward rallies, in Korea, Japan, Asia and in the Americas, True Mother opened the Era of the Asia Pacific Civilization. Just as God had intended, Sheikh Mansour Diouf, acting on behalf of the Interreligious Association, opened doors to a Muslim nation by drawing the attention and cooperation of the Senegalese government. True Mother was able to achieve a tremendous success in the January 2018 rally in Senegal, where the national government sponsored a Blessing Ceremony.

I want to acknowledge the legacy of Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon, founder of UPF and I pay tribute to Mrs. Hak Ja Han Moon, who continues with faith and perseverance the work for the sake of universal peace. This continent was wounded by centuries of conflicts, wars, and plagues. With her message, however, Africans can still keep the hope that Africa is tomorrow's continent, but tomorrow is already today.

 

The Divine Providence was carried out for the first time on a national level! True Mother shed a new light on Africa’s future.

 

True Mother at the Senegal Summit

 

That is why, centered on Africa, I am opening a new era, the Pacific Civilization Era, which brings a revolution of culture

through a heart of filial love. I pray that together we can go forward toward creating a happy kingdom of heaven on earth where all human beings attend Heavenly Parent as their center.

 

Upon the success of this African Summit, promoted by the national government, similar events took place in Nepal, São Tomé and Cambodia, as the providential wave of national restoration expanded. Furthermore, thanks to the grace of heavenly nations, in February 2019, True Mother launched a new global alliance, the International Summit Council for Peace, securing a platform for peace on a continental level.

February 8, 2019 - UPF, Lotte Hotel Jamsil

 

The place in which all nations can become one family of true brothers before our Heavenly Parent is precisely the kingdom of heaven on earth. Please remember that his path of attending the eternal Heavenly Parent is the only path for humankind. I pray for you to please join me in building a peaceful world where all humankind is one family that attends our Heavenly Parent.

 

 

During the 2020 World Summit, True Mother strengthened the 6 essential branches of the UPF, launching The International Association of Academics for Peace, the International Media Association for Peace, the International Association for Peace and Economic Development, thus providing a platform to spread the culture and lifestyle of the Cheonilguk Era around the world, expanding True Parents' vision of Peace to 194 nations. In this era of Cheonilguk, the peaceful world that God had foreseen from the beginning of time will finally emerge as one united human family under God. Through the creation of this new external foundation, a new dimension is opening up for nations to receive and attend God as they follow the path of love outlined by True Parents. The path of peace is expanding throughout the world through Peace Road.
