Perfected Messiah

March 14, 2010, Cheon Bok Guk,Seoul Korea

Let’s look at the Catholic Church for a minute.  The Catholics pray to Mother Mary, the mother of Jesus.  They offer many kinds of prayers to Mother Mary.  They pray to Mary, giving praise and adorations to her.  They pray to Mary for  miracles.  Many pray to Mary.  Why do they pray to Mary so much?  Because they are looking for the completed Eve.  Mary is the closest person to the completed Eve that they can find.  So they pray to her.  But what they are really looking for is the perfected Eve, the bride of the messiah, the perfected Eve.  All of history has been waiting 6,000 years for the perfected Eve, and she’s here!  It is our True Mother.

Koran [3.195] I will not waste the work of a worker among you, whether male or female, the one of you being from the other.

Hindu {4:3} Thou are woman, thou are man, thou are youth and maiden.  It is thou alone when born, who assumes different forms.

Words of True Father from the collected works volume 32 page 266: The person who comes to unite all of humanity with God’s love is True Parents, the Messiah.  Adam and Eve were meant to center on God’s love and be married. But because of the fall they could not accomplish this. For 6000 years until now man has been waiting for a qualified person to come and save them. Christianity calls this person the Messiah.

In the history of the Providence, God has chosen many central figures. The entire providence of restoration has had one goal to restore the world to the state of perfection that it was supposed to have originally before the fall. Before Adam and Eve fell the goal was to create the Kingdom of God. That is still the goal; since Adam and Eve fell the History of Restoration began. Throughout that long history of restoration there have been many precious women that Heavenly Father has used as central figures, like Sarah, the wife of Abraham, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene and others.  Today, I want to look at a particular woman that God used as a central figure. Her name is Ruth.  Let us take a look at some scripture about Ruth.  This is from the Book of Ruth Chapter 1 verses 16-17.

Rev. Hyung Jin Moon’s 1st Sermon at Cheon Bok Gung(Heaven’s Heart Temple)

February 28, 2010, Cheon Bok Gung, Seoul, Korea

At the dedication ceremony, there was a Buddhist monk.  His name is Monk Ingeong and he is the president of the Taego, which is one of the biggest sects in Buddhism.  He watched the video about the completed temple and he had a spiritual experience.  As he was watching the video, he received a vision telling him that True Parents are the living Buddha, and he told his people that True Parents are the returning living Buddha. His churches have hundreds and thousands of members and he’s the head of it, and he told them True Parents is their returning Buddha, their returning savior.

Opening Prayer by Rev. Kap Young Kim – Assistant District Pastor.

Dear Heavenly Father and True Parents, thank you very much.

Father and True Parents, we have followed your guidance and your direction, and we have finally arrived at this growth stage Cheon Bok Gung. We know that from the spiritual world, Hyo Jin Nim, Heung Jin Nim, and Young Jin Nim have also been helping a lot in preparing this temple. Also, the four great saints in the spiritual world have been assisting us with returning resurrection, coming down to assist their people on the earth. Because we have a great unity with the families of Hyung Jin Nim and Kook Jin Nim, we have been able to bring this victory here today.

True Parents came here last Sunday and dedicated this temple for the unification of your people, Heavenly Father, and for the unification of religions, and True Father spoke for a long time expressing his heart. Thank you very much, True Parents.

We will work here supporting Hyung Jin Nim, our senior pastor, to bring 21,000 members in this growth stage Cheon Bok Gung; and we pray that the blessing of heaven will be here upon us for this first service of worship, here in Cheon Bok Gung.

We want this temple to be the place where all the citizens of Seoul, and in fact, all the citizens of the world, can meet True Parents and understand and believe that they are the Messiah, that they are the returning Christ; that they are the source of rebirth. And from there we will work for the building of Cheon Il Guk spanning out from this temple to our nation, centered on God, on True Parents and Heavenly Father.

Thank you. Aju.

International President Hyung Jin Moon Speaks at Hoondokhae

February 23, 2010, Cheon Bok Gung, Yongsan Seoul Korea

The following is an edited transcript of Hyung-jin nim speaking to a group of national leaders who were in Korea to attend the annual National Leaders Assembly.

Good morning, everybody. I hope you had a very wonderful time in Korea, in this historic time. You may even be tired because of all the festivities! You know I mean physically, but I hope you feel spiritually enriched and have found new hope.

As you can see, the Cheon Bok temple has been built, and you’re sitting in it! [Laughter] We’d only seen it in pictures and heard about it, but it’s actually been built. This is the growth-stage temple, as you know. We were able to attend True Parents here, just the other day on the 21^st, and that was special. Mother gave such a tearful prayer after the opening ceremony.

Welcoming Speech of Rev. Hyung Jin Moon during the Dedication Ceremony of Cheon Bok Gung (Growth Stage)

February 21, 2010, Cheon Bok Gung,  Seoul Korea

When we understand the true love that True Father teaches us that he has revealed to the world, that up till now, we have tried to understand up till now through many theologies and many philosophies, what the nature and essence and divinity of God is.  And fundamentally, it is beyond human grasp.  But True Father has allowed us the picture, and the description of what God’s divinity is and what His essence is. He has taught us that the divinity of God is true love. And that true love is a love that is a parental love.  That is so profound and heroic. That it is willing to die and die; give up its soul; descend into the deepest and darkest hells, not just once for the sake of friends, but again and again, endlessly for the sake not only of just the children, but even for the worst enemy. And this is the type of true love that they ask us to inherit.

Brothers and sisters from around the world,

We are so grateful and honored to be able to participate together here, in this incredible holy land, this holy site here. We attend our True Parents here in Cheongpyeong. Our True Parents are not just normal human individuals.
