In the Eighth Year of Cheon Il Guk
Midnight prayer
book 584
Beloved Heavenly Father, We are here this morning on the first day of the eighth year of Cheon Il Guk with the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
In Your heart, You dreamed of a world that fulfills the ideal You had for the creation, a world where joy blossoms in every area of life, a fruit encapsulating the whole of creation, over which You could take pride in front of all nations and history. Yet, humankind lost its joyous value, which was to be manifested through a mind-set that is revering, serving and respecting Heaven. The crimes committed by the first ancestors of humanity have upset the great way of heaven and earth since that day. We know very well what the devil did,……forcing the removal of the original palace that stood in the core position.
You were in a position where You were forced to abandon the ancestors of humanity despite the motivation of love You may have had. Yet, the source of the heart, of the Father's love, which prevented You from abandoning humanity, brought the light of glory and the fruit of victory to all of creation. Through the Principle, we came to know of the Father who lost that original world, a world where all existing beings, in all ages, were to respect and revere Heaven as they laid their foundations in their lives.
YOU and humankind are aware of all the historical circumstances that are deep, vast and complicated. Father,You and Satan, however, know what caused the Fall, though human beings are unaware of the Fall's origin. As a result, people have been unable to speak of their circumstances to YOU-Father, nor could YOU appear before members of the human race to warn or instruct them.
Centering on absolute love, absolute life, and the absolute lineage, which are the fundamental manifestation of Heaven and Earth, of life, and of all things in creation and central core of love and of all the hopes that were focused on Adam and Eve, never reached their fulfillment. Throughout history, people have suffered in lamentation and despair within the clutches of the enemy, their hearts in distress as they have been unable to forget the original heart. Those in the Unification Church know of the Heavenly Father, who though forgotten by all to this day, has walked a public path of loving His lost children,
We have gathered here in Cheon Il Guk, which is headed toward the ideal of a new heaven, in order to commemorate this day in joy and jubilation. During the seventh year we offered our entire being and strength; that jubilee year has passed. We have entered the eighth year, a jubilee year wherein the positions of above and below can become one as a couple.
During this crucial year, the cause of the accident that occurred in the Garden of Eden can be erased. Your sons and daughters can be created from the original, clean, pristine, genuine lineage, and they can grow in attendance of You, while You hope for the day when You can freely dominate any sovereignty or palace in the satanic world. We have passed through the Old, New and Completed Testament Ages; yet nobody could guide us through the complicated circumstances in the Completed Testament Age nor take responsibility for us in the midst of that great chaos. A period of eighty-eight years has passed centering on this man called the True Parent, who was young and like a mere child but was raised by Heaven. Those years will surely remain in Your eyes as a time You will never forget.
Now as a grown man of eighty-eight, in full bloom, I think of all the instances and circumstances where I pledged and prayed to reach the critical juncture of a jubilee year. When I think about these things, I know that the seventh year of Cheon Il Guk that Heaven established has already become a jubilee year. My desire is to know the value of the jubilee year, to live completely immersed and absorbed in it, in love and adoration, and to make these days the blossom and even fruit of my life that can be spun into silk and ultimately connected with YOUR true love, life and lineage. Yet, despite these hopes, this child who stands as the True Parent before the Father on this new morning of the first day in divine son or daughter, and that You allow this True Parent to fulfill his responsibility.
