❇ Registration for God’s Kingdom and the Fatherland

— 9.9 by the heavenly calendar (Wednesday, October 5, 2011)

The Registration for God’s Kingdom and the Fatherland began at 7 PM on 9.9 , by the heavenly calendar (Wednesday, October 5) at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, USA. The affair was a great success, with more than 1,500 clergymen and surname representatives in attendance. In Part I of the event, begun at 7 PM, a video clip was screened entitled 172 Clerics’ Song of Peace (related to the Registration for God’s Kingdom and the Fatherland), which had aired on MBC.net in Korea. Part II of the event began with Rev. In Jin Moon’s welcoming address, followed by Rev. Hyung Jin Moon’s introductory address and a Sisterhood Ceremony for twenty-four clerics from the United States and an equal number of people from Korea representing surname-based clans. True Father then gave his keynote address.

Rev. In Jin Moon said that she was at first disconcerted when instructed by True Parents to select and send 172 members of the clergy from all parts of United States to Korea, but she obeyed their instructions and invited forty-three clerics each from the four regions according to the four main compass points. In the end, she was able to send 172 American clerics to Korea. She added that after she had obeyed True Parents’ instructions to the letter, she understood that True Parents were indeed the Messiah, for she realized that the Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Islamic clerics from the four directions of North, East, West, and South were the NEWS from Heaven.

Rev. Hyung Jin Moon said in his address that Jesus had fiercely challenged the people with strong words like ―You brood of vipers‖ and ―You belong to your father, the devil,‖ as recorded in the Books of John, Matthew and Luke. He then said that True Parents, as the first and last True Parents of the cosmos, never ceased from teaching us, not because they hated or detested us, but because they wanted to guide us to the path of life. He ended his address by asking the audience to become people who can listen to what True Parents say and be in a position from which they can receive blessings from Heaven.

The 2011 Tongil Group Autumn Workshop and One-Heart Sports Festival was held for two nights and three days from October 6th to 8th 2011 at the Grand Hall and Sports Field at Yongpyeong Resort with more than 800 participants from providential institutions, churches and business organizations in attendance. Before this event, those working at institutions or business organizations and church leaders had had no occasion to get together and get to know one another, but through this opportunity everyone was able to share the Unification Family vision and renew their resolution to establish Cheon Il Guk. Moreover, the event provided an opportunity for those working at institutions or business organizations and church leaders to feel that they were cooperatively working with one heart for the providence.

At the closing ceremony held on Saturday, October 8, Chairman Kook Jin Moon said:

We have not come all the way here for our own benefit. We have walked our path with a firm resolution to dedicate our lives to God, to True Parents, to our nation, and to the entire world. When we first joined the church, we promised to lead lives of true love. I hope that all of us will renew our resolution made at that beginning time, when we vowed to live, not for ourselves, but for the sake of others. We have had many misunderstandings and heard many lies in our church until now. From now on, however, we will only see the truth. Good people always find the truth. When you live in goodness, you cannot live in falsity. You have worked hard until now to transform the Unification Church. Many sacrifices have also been made.

Through such hard work and sacrifice, we have grown so far. If our church comes to ruin, what significance would such hard work and sacrifice have? Fortunately, we are seeing development. The Japanese church, however, is still facing many difficulties. For what have they worked and sacrificed themselves? That is why I told the Korean church not to make mistakes. All I hope is that from now on, our Tongil Group and the Unification Church will not make mistakes but will live centering on true love, and live for the sake of God and return glory to God and True Parents. I hope and pray that we will all work hard to make this precious nation of Korea, the God’s fatherland, as declared by True Father, a really strong nation indeed.
