Heaven’s Work Fulfilled: Humanity’s Return to Eden

Speech commemorating the incredible work Father Moon carried out, with insights on his role in returning humanity to oneness with God

Part 2 of a speech on 8th September 2025 by Doo Seung-yeon (두승연), newly appointed as Director of the World Mission Headquarters of the Family Federation. The message, delivered at a meeting for leaders and members gathered in Gapyeong, South Korea, was in commemoration of Father Moon on the 13th anniversary of his holy ascension (Seonghwa). Slightly edited unofficial translation of the original Korean.

Here, in part 2, Rev. Doo’s speech elaborates each of the five points introduced in part 1 – about Father Moon’s mission as Messiah, the completion of salvation, the significance of the Blessing, the unification of the spiritual and the physical world, the proclamation of Cheonil-guk, and the dawn of our Heavenly Parent’s direct dominion.

First, True Father Rev. Sun Myung Moon became the True Parent together with the Only Begotten Daughter, the True Mother. Our Heavenly Parent is the same from beginning to end. Once He begins something, He must see it through to the end. Heaven desired to fulfill God’s will through Jesus, but although it began to be realized through Jesus, it could not be completed. True Father, having entered into Holy Marriage with the Only Begotten Daughter, True Mother, and becoming the True Parents, is the one who, through the Blessing, brought humanity’s complete salvation to its conclusion.

In Christianity, people celebrate the birth of Jesus, but not his death.

In Jesus’ case, his providential mission could begin but not be concluded since he was unable to enter into Holy Marriage.

True Father, on the other hand, received Heaven’s call at the age of fifteen. Though the beginning was humble, he definitely concluded his providential mission. I do not know how many times I must repeat this for it to be convincing, but Father definitely brought his providential mission to a conclusion. This is why we must celebrate and rejoice in True Father’s Seonghwa (holy ascension) even more than the world celebrates Jesus’ birth.

Second, through the Cheonil-guk Foundation Day Registration Blessing (입적 축복) [See editor’s note 1 below], True Father graciously enabled all humankind to return to the original Garden of Eden. He graciously enabled us to be registered as citizens of Cheonil-guk and to make a “birth registration” (출생신고). [See editor’s note 2 below] Blessed families who have been registered in Cheonil-guk hold the three life ceremonies – birth, marriage, and death – as “Holy Ceremonies in the original Garden of Eden”.

The Seonghwa Ceremony takes place in a realm where only our Heavenly Parent presides, and it becomes a sacred space where restored humans – as God’s true “children” – can engage in direct dialogue with God (something not possible in the fallen world).

Every human being, born through our Heavenly Parent, has a path one must follow in the original world. That means: if there is a beginning, there must also be an end. Jesus was born as the Only Begotten Son and thus began his providential mission, but he could not bring it to completion. True Father, however, actually showed us that completion. That is why True Father’s Seonghwa is a joy and hope for all humankind. Without resting, he walked a path of countless hardships to return humanity to the original Garden of Eden, where God and humankind converse face-to-face.

On 14^th April 2012, in Las Vegas, at the “Cosmic Assembly to Proclaim the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and the Substantial Word,” True Father proclaimed: “We have returned to the position before the Fall, when God said, ‘On the day you eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall surely die.’” To completely save fallen humanity and return us to the original Eden, he walked the path of a pioneer filled with tribulation.

Third, True Father broke down the boundary between the spirit world and the physical world, connecting them as one.

The spirit world is our homeland [See editor’s note 3 below], where God dwells. The earthly world is the hometown where humans are born. The cosmos [See editor’s note 4 below], where the spirit world and the earthly world are united as one, is a vast home where God and human beings live together in oneness.

It is our homeland and hometown where God and human beings live together as one. All blessed families, living both in the spirit world and on Earth, feel naturally that they are directly connected by lineage to True Parents, and that the spirit world and physical world are one.

When True Father was on earth, he lived as a spirit-world person who had attained completion on earth. After he ascended to heaven, he exists as an earthly person living in the spirit world. Through True Father’s Seonghwa, the boundary between Earth and the spirit world disappeared.

Even though such a tremendous event has occurred in our earthly world, humanity does not realize it. For this reason, True Mother graciously allowed grace through the divine works of Cheonshimwon [a prayer hall in Gapyeong, South Korea].

That is why you are gathered here today, is it not?

The essence of her message is that, through sincere devotion at Cheonshimwon, we are meant to experience the spiritual world directly and live in harmony with it.

[Editor’s note 1: In the term “Registration Blessing”, registration (입적) means being officially entered into the heavenly family registry (God’s lineage), leaving behind Satan’s lineage. It’s like receiving a new “spiritual citizenship” in 천일국 (Cheonil-guk, the Land of Cosmic Peace and Unity).
Blessing (축복) in this context refers to the grace that makes this transfer possible – the ritual and divine approval that sanctify individuals and families.

The phrase “Cheonil-guk Foundation Day Registration Blessing” (천일국 기원절 입적 축복) marks a historical turning point. On Foundation Day (2013), members were given the opportunity to be “registered” into the original ideal world God intended (symbolized by Eden). It wasn’t just personal salvation – it was framed as a cosmic-level event affecting all humanity, opening the path back to God’s original ideal.]

[Editor’s note 2: “Birth registration” (출생신고): Normally in civil society, a birth report gives a newborn legal recognition. Theologically, the term symbolizes being reborn into God’s lineage and recorded in the heavenly registry as a new “child” of God. It echoes the idea of spiritual rebirth but formalized as if making a heavenly legal document.]

[Editor’s note 3: Calling the spirit world homeland (조국) emphasizes a deep sense of belonging – humans are fundamentally “children” of God, and the spiritual realm is their true home. In that sense, our physical existence becomes a temporary exile on earth, with the spirit world as the eternal, original home.]

[Editor’s note 4: Cosmos (천주 – 天宙) literally means “heaven and universe”; in Unificationist usage, it often means the cosmos as God’s dwelling place or an ideal cosmos.]
