Cheon Seong Gyeong Ⅱ - 494. The Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony of the Parents of Heaven and Earth Opening the Gates of Cheon II Guk
8 Because we conducted the Enthronement of the Cosmic True Parent and the True Parents of Heaven and Earth as the King and Queen of the Blessed Families in Peace and Unity, Cheon Il Guk could finally begin on earth. We have to bind heaven and earth together through conditions. These begin in God's family, advance to His tribe, people and nation, and ultimately to the spirit world where we have to educate and bless the saints. Spirit persons have been unaware of Gods existence. They could not believe in God because they could not see Him. True Parents have to educate them. By receiving education in the Principle, they can come to realize that God is the Parent of heaven and earth. Alone, they cannot find this Parent; they need the help of True Parents. Thanks to True Parents, God now can freely move in the spiritual and physical worlds. (407-265, 2003.05.20)
9 The Holy Marriage Blessing opened the gates of Cheon Il Guk, and God's nation was finally established. This is the significance of the Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony of the Parents of Heaven and Earth Opening the Gates of Cheon Il Guk. After we formed the nation of Cheon Il Guk, the Enthronement of the Cosmic True Parent and the True Parents of Heaven and Earth as the King and Queen of the Blessed Families in Peace and Unity fulfilled the next stage. This meant a king and owner could finally appear in the family. Adam should have attained this position at the age of twenty-one but, due to the Fall, the event was delayed by tens of thousands of years. This is an important truth. Now, at last, we can attend the King and Queen of the families because we accomplished the Enthronement of the King and Queen of the Blessed Families in Peace and Unity, centered on the true love of God as our Cosmic Parent and the true love of the True Parents of Heaven and Earth.

10 Through God's course of restoration through indemnity, we have brought down all of our enemies' fortifications. By setting indemnity conditions, we have attained the internal standard that has liberated us from the confines of the walls between the mind and body, within the family, within the world, between tribes, peoples and nations, and between heaven and earth. Thus Cheon Il Guk could appear. It is the nation where two people unite to become one, and it begins with the unity of Adam and Eve. Even if only two or three people meet and pray together, God wants to be with them. Thus Cheon Il Guk is the nation where two people become one. (418-232, 2003.09.25)
11 Through the Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony of the Parents of Heaven and Earth Opening the Gates of Cheon Il Guk, we could finally establish a nation and open the way to register our marriages and the births of our children. Because everything broke down on the earth, the Enthronement of the Cosmic True Parent and the True Parents of Heaven and Earth as the King and Queen of the Blessed Families in Peace and Unity had to take place, centered on True Parents. Then everything could become one and the nation could begin. On that foundation, you have to register your birth again. By registering your birth, you prepare the foundation for the perfected family for which your ancestors long. However, the question remains whether you can substantially realize the kind of family Adam and Eve would have had if they had not fallen but had received the Blessing. Are you confident to do that? You have to repent; every cell in your body must cry out. (406-291, 2003.03.12)
12 Now is the time for you to work with me to bring about the settlement of God's kingdom and God's homeland, and to register in Gods nation, Cheon Il Guk. Now that a nation exists, we can begin registration. We need birth, marriage and death certificates. The nation maintains and protects these records. Our birth, marriage and death will be registered in the nation. Because we have a nation, we can now be registered for eternity in the spirit world. Through the registration of births, marriages and Seonghwa ceremonies, all citizens move into the kingdom of heaven. As stated in the fifth pledge of the Family Pledge, the spirit world is in the subject position, and we have to live in tune with it each day. This is not a vague concept. By living in this manner, the spirit world and the physical world can connect, with no barriers between them. (363-213, 2001.12.25)
13 Since we conducted the Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony of the Parents of Heaven and Earth Opening the Gates of Cheon Il Guk on True Parents' Birthday, we could finally register marriages. Then, the Enthronement of the Cosmic True Parent and the True Parents of Heaven and Earth as the King and Queen of the Blessed Families in Peace and Unity rendered it possible for us to inherit God's kingdom and establish a king on the family level. The family king then becomes a tribal king, a people’s king, a national king and a world saint. From the position of divine son, he goes on to inherit God's position. (417-180, 2003.09.07)
14 The Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony of the Parents of Heaven and Earth Opening the Gates of Cheon Il Guk was conducted on True Parents' Birthday in 2003. The True Parents' Holy Wedding took place centered on Cheon Il Guk. God and True Parents finally became one through true love, true life and true lineage, and upon the foundation of the Holy Wedding, we have arrived at the world level. Now we have to adjust everything to that standard. We can proclaim Cheon Il Guk only on the foundation of the change of lineage of the nation’s representing the First, Second and Third Israels through the marriage Blessing. The kingdom of heaven is a realm in which people are united in heart, but this world, because of the Fall, is not a realm where people are united in heart through true love, life and lineage. It is a realm where unity can be attained only through indemnity. Therefore, to realize the realm of unity upon which the kingdom of heaven can be established, I conducted the Unification Blessing Ceremony to Register the Blessed Families that Formed the Four-Position Foundation at the Great Transition of the Three Ages. Following the proclamation of this Blessing and the proclamation of Cheon Il Guk, all blessed families in the spiritual and physical worlds now can register. (428-248, 2003.12.21)
15 We carried out the Enthronement Ceremony for the Kingship of God during the first year of the third millennium, on January 13,2001. Originally, I should have conducted the Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony Opening the Gates of Cheon Il Guk in 1980, when I turned sixty, but it had to be postponed until True Mother was sixty. We held it on her sixtieth birthday in the third year of Cheon Il Guk. On that date the new Cosmic Parent and Parents of Heaven and Earth could become one and the date of the Holy Wedding anniversary could be fixed. Through the Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony Opening the Gates of Cheon Il Guk, True Parents were enthroned as the King and Queen of the Cheon Il Guk families. (428-249, 2003.12.21)
16 The Holy Wedding of the Parents of Heaven and Earth could not have taken place if Cheon II Guk did not exist. The Holy Wedding and birth registration would not have been possible if the Enthronement Ceremony for the Kingship of God had not taken place. If we had not had a nation, we could not have conducted these events. We conducted the Holy Marriage Blessing Ceremony of the Parents of Heaven and Earth Opening the Gates of Cheon Il Guk on True Mothers sixtieth birthday, a full two years after the Enthronement Ceremony for the Kingship of God. It was possible to conduct this Holy Wedding Ceremony only after God and True Parents had finally made a foundation for God's homeland. After that, we held the Enthronement of the Cosmic True Parent and the True Parents of Heaven and Earth as the King and Queen of the Blessed Families in Peace and Unity. For the first time in history, the position of the King of the families is occupied. (430-123, 2004.01.01) |
