THE FAMILY ROOTED IN ABSOLUTE SEXUAL ETHICS, WHICH IS THE MODEL FOR GOD’S ABSOLUTENESS, PEACE AND IDEAL, AND THE GLOBAL KINGDOM The speech Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon gave on the occasion of the Forty-seventy True Children’s Day, on November 21, 2006, at the Korea International Exhibition Center, Ilsan, Korea.
Beloved blessed families of the world, respected Ambassadors for Peace, leaders from all walks of life, and distinguished guests from at home and abroad: Today is a significant day in the history of God’s providence; it begins the forty-seventh year since I declared Children’s Day. There are four great milestones that had to be reached and established in the providential course of restoration through indemnity, in order to fulfill God’s purpose of creation that was lost through the Fall of Adam and Eve, our first ancestors. They are: God’s Day, Parents’ Day, Children’s Day, and the Day of All Things. The victory of the Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God came in 2001 and the beginning of the providence of Cheon Il Guk was proclaimed at the time of the Entrance Ceremony for the Cheon Jeong Peace Palace and the coronation ceremony, in June 2006. This is the first observance of True Children’s Day since then. To commemorate this significant day and renew our resolve, I would like to convey Heaven’s words on the subject of “The Family Rooted in Absolute Sexual Ethics, which Is the Model for God’s Absoluteness, Peace and Ideal, and the Global Kingdom,” which is a summary of the message from Heaven that I have given to the 6.5 billion people of the world over the past year. It is to remind you once again of your role and mission from the viewpoint of God’s providence, and of the importance of the age in which you are living. These words are the words of life that 120 international religious leaders who received them from True Parents directly are proclaiming in 120 nations of the world. The world speaking tour carried out by members of the three generations of the family of the True Parents has opened the path to the salvation of humanity through Heaven’s message and the Marriage Blessing. On that foundation, these religious leaders who represent the Cain-type world have taken up the cause and are traveling to every corner of the world. The Emergence of the Universal Peace Federation Ladies and gentlemen, throughout history, people have worked continuously for peace, based upon human effort alone. Consider the confrontation between democracy and communism. Outwardly, the difference between the two was the extent to which they recognized and assured individual rights and freedoms. Yet from the viewpoint of God’s providence, communism and democracy have been like children who have lost their parents. The two divided into the positions of Cain and Abel respectively and became trapped in the chains of fraternal conflict. Throughout history, peace movements inevitably reached their limit and ended in failure because imperfect human beings carried them out. This is why the United Nations, although launched with the splendid dream of realizing world peace, today must admit its inherent limitations and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity. This is simply because the UN was launched during the era prior to the time when God could directly govern the unfolding of His providence in history. Now, however, it is entirely possible for the Universal Peace Federation to fulfill its mission to unite heaven and earth and form the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. This is because it represents God’s victory and the fruit of the True Parents’ blood, sweat and tears. Therefore, the Universal Peace Federation is the world’s cherished hope. It will carry out the role of an “Abel-type” counterpart to the existing “Cain-type” United Nations, to renew the UN and provide the leadership for a new sovereignty of universal peace which in Korean I call Cheon Il Guk. Therefore, please
