translation is done in summary form and depends greatly on the translator’s
ability to communicate the essence of the message. These cannot be published as
definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official"

"spirit" of the message.
 

True Parents

True Parents offered the morning prayer and pledge to God. Father and Mother came
out to the warm welcome of several thousand people at the Original Peace Palace
and Museum. They lit the seven candles at the beautiful offering table. Then the
True Family bowed to God and the whole congregation bowed, followed by three
representative nations of Korea, Japan, and America, the Continents, the Spirit
World representatives and the Abel World and the Cain World.
True Father’s Address:

I am now on a 21-city speaking tour. We are proclaiming the Pacific Rim Era in
God’s providence. We now have seven years of time until January 13, 2013. During
this seven-year period, you are responsible to untangle all the things that have
bound your nations.

The time is coming when God will directly govern this world. The time is coming
when Satan will have to pack up and run away. We are now facing the most decisive
moment in God’s providence. This is the time of a great showdown between heaven
and earth.

Throughout my entire life I have talked and prayed without ceasing. I understand
how to make people happy through my words, yet I ask you to not be proud or think
you are great. Please be humble. Is there anyone here older than I am? (Mrs. Park
Jung Min raised her hand.)

Are True Parents one person or two? (They are one). You should be able to answer
this without hesitation. I ask you to listen closely to the speech I am giving --
The Providential View of the Pacific Rim Era in Light of God’s Will: The United
States and the Future Direction of the United Nations and the Free World.

We must understand the Pacific Era in the "light" of God’s will. This speech was
first delivered on March 17th in Hawaii. Then I will deliver this today and then
again on May 17th in America. America is closely watching what I am doing.

Why was God’s will not fulfilled through the Roman Empire? Because Jesus was
rejected and killed. After thousands of years of preparation, God watched Jesus’
each and every action. God was looking so carefully at Jesus. Jesus’ death was a
tragedy that broke God’s heart.

This is Heaven’s decree. America was raised by God and brought to the place of
victory. The key to America is unifying Christianity. How can we unify
Christianity? Through practicing true love, understanding the Spirit World, and
establishing true families. You must understand about the cross and the need for
absolute sexual morality. World conflict is rooted in the Fall. The most
important thing to do to resolve this is international, cross-cultural marriage
blessings. If Americans and Russians can marry each other, we can dissolve the
hatred between the two nations.

Women will now be in a key position to bring peace. To be trained, the blessed
wives had to endure incredible hardships of leaving their families and working
for the providence. This indemnity condition was fulfilled because they didn’t
run away. They are here now and they overcame. Because of that faith, women can
play a central role in peace. There are so many different religions. I also
survived and overcame.

There was no such thing as religion or politics in the Garden of Eden. We are
returning to the Garden of Eden. I see Dr. Min Ha Kim here. He has brothers in
America, Japan, and even North Korea. Don’t you want them all to be able to see
each other? The key to developing a peaceful world starts with creating ideal
families. They will create the peaceful, ideal world.

This is the year of Jubilee.

However, we have to be careful. Russia and China are interested in the Pacific.
This is a serious moment. We must educate the Russian and Chinese leaders about
the way of the family and way of peace. (Then harmony and cooperation can exist
between America, Russia and China to bring the Pacific Era of Peace). Then we can
prevent further war. How did I survive? God protected me. Many times, just by
intuition, my feet have led me out of danger. Even in the car while I am half
dozing, suddenly I will awaken and just by sense ask the driver to go to the
right or left. I cannot be destroyed as the conditions have been set and True
Parents are protected.

We began with the True Family, then 120 religious leaders, then 1,200 Ambassadors
for Peace, then 12,000 Peace Message rallies. You should continue blessing your
relatives and family this way. You should bless 120 family members and then
expand to 1,200 and then to 12,000 couples. Eventually we could cover the earth
this way.

Please understand that when you read or hear the Peace Messages, billions of your
ancestors are pouring down to help you. Through this process your ancestors are
working to perfect themselves and establish True Families through you. They
cannot do it without you.

God will now take the lead! You will see. Not just by our leadership, but, beyond
our power, God now has the authority to take the lead and bring people.

Dr. Lee, Mrs. Kim, Mrs. Moon, Mrs. Gil Ja (Sa) Eu (Mrs. Eu is responsible to
educate all clergy) and Mrs. Jeong all should work together as one with True
Mother. (Father named eight women.). Jesus blessed three disciples centering on
his mother but couldn’t embrace his clan. We need eight women to stand with True
Mother. Women will lead the way to peace.

Father read the Pacific Rim Era Peace message and the True Parent’s Day morning
address was concluded. Father gave the address on April 17th as he did on March
17th and will give this address in America on May 17th.
