As part of the celebrations of the joint birthday of Father Moon and Mother Han, a “Global Worship Service” was held at the Cheongshim Peace World Center, a large indoor arena in Gapyeong, South Korea on 2^nd February 2025. This was a major event in the weeklong celebration as Hak Ja Han turns 82. Sun Myung Moon would have been 105. According to the oriental lunar calendar, their birthdays both are the sixth day of the first month, which this year falls on 3^rd February.

Mother Han spoke at the service which was broadcast live from the stadium in South Korea. We are pleased to be able to bring you the official version of the English translation:

Beloved blessed families and members around the world, I offer my deepest gratitude and glory to our Creator, our Heavenly Parent, for giving us this wonderful day when we can really welcome the 13th year of Cheon Il Guk.

Due to the wars and conflicts arising over the “6,000 years” of human history since the Fall, humankind could not experience even a single peaceful day. And as the Creator had to complete the heavenly providence, how difficult and grueling must it have been that, through the chosen people, it took “4,000 years” to form the nation of Israel beginning from the level of individuals, through families, tribes, and a people.

After “4,000 years”, Heavenly Parent finally brought about the birth of Jesus Christ, who was conceived through the Holy Spirit. Yet Mary and the people of Israel could not fulfill their responsibility. Considering the reality of his conception through the Holy Spirit, and even though wise men from the East followed a star to find him, there is no record of the date of Jesus’ birth.

After waiting 30 years, and knowing he would not be able to complete God’s will, Jesus began his three-year public course. In the end, Jesus died on the cross, yet he said he would come again. The apostles who had been resurrected through the Holy Spirit waited for Jesus’ promised return, and thus the 2,000-year Christian providence began.

Though there was much persecution in those early days, Christianity eventually received recognition from the Roman Empire and spread throughout Europe from the Italian peninsula and worldwide centered on Britain. This opened the era of Atlantic civilization.

However, they did not know Jesus’ essence. They did not understand why he said he would come back, or that he would hold the Marriage Supper of the Lamb when he returned. Eventually, they went out to witness under the pretext of representing Jesus, but the era of the Atlantic civilization, in which nations prioritized their own interests, came to a close.

According to the principles of creation, when the Only Begotten Son was born, his counterpart should also have been born. However, this could not come through the people of Israel because they remained a nation with a debt of indemnity for the death of Jesus. Through our knowledge of history, we know what kind of indemnity they paid.

Because Heaven cannot trust fallen humanity, another chosen people was selected and raised. This is the Korean people.

The birth of the Only Begotten Daughter had to take place in a Christian environment.

When works of the Holy Spirit were occurring in the Protestant Church centered around Pyongyang, through the devotion of many who received these revelations the Only Begotten Daughter was born in 1943.

However, at that time, Korea was under Japanese colonial rule, and when World War II ended in 1945, the country was divided into South and North, democracy and communism. Because Heaven had brought about the birth of the Only Begotten Daughter who would see the completion of the providence, according to the principles of creation God had to allow her a growing period during which she would mature.

However, Korea fell into crisis at that time. How was it that troops from at least 16 UN member states took part and shed righteous blood in that conflict in a small, unknown country? It is because Heaven was with us and protected the Only Begotten Daughter.

From birth, I grew up knowing God as my parent. Because I knew that my responsibility was to fulfill Heavenly Parent’s dream on earth and see its completion, in 1960 I assumed the position of True Parent, though I was still very young. It is true that we went through difficult times. However, I waited patiently and persevered and finally proclaimed the Foundation Day of Cheon Il Guk. Throughout human history, including the history of religion, everything has been male-centered. The principles of creation are about man and woman. The Creator is also the Creator Father and Mother. The Only Begotten Daughter was the first to reveal this.

Thus, with no one else understanding the providence, I walked alone and proclaimed the firm settlement of Cheon Il Guk after establishing the condition of restoring 7 nations, 7 religious orders, and a continent. However, that alone is not enough.

Heavenly Parent’s dream and humanity’s hope is to live in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Therefore, you blessed families and CheonBo families [See editor’s note below] cannot remain where you are. You must fulfill your responsibility. Responsibility. True Mother, the Only Begotten Daughter, cannot do everything by herself. I pray that all of you will become the blessed families that, together with me, will create a greater, higher and broader environment in which people can attend our Heavenly Parent.

As Director-General Yong-cheon Song of the World Missions Headquarters said, in your prayers and devotions you must establish the tradition of offering prayers with gratitude “in my name [name of person praying], of a blessed family attending our Holy Mother Han.” [Editor’s note: Hak Ja Han is here referring to her own surname. In Korea, women keep their surname after marrying. So, in line with this custom, it’s more appropriate to use “Mother Han”, rather than “Mother Moon”.] In creating an environment in which all people of the world can attend Holy Mother Han, the “Pure Waters” [Editor’s note: Young activists] must fulfill their responsibility, whether they are first, second, or third generation.

This is the only path to realizing one family of humankind attending our Heavenly Parent and a peaceful world without war or conflict. I bless all of you who are united with Holy Mother Han to receive heavenly fortune as you move toward that day.

[Editor’s note: Cheonbo families (천보 가정) are families recognized for their exemplary faith, devotion, and practice of the teachings of the Family Federation, particularly in alignment with the vision of Father Moon and Mother Han.]
