This year, marking the 71st anniversary of the Family Federation’s founding, after the successful completion of the Cheon Won Gung Cheon Il Sanctum Grand Opening in April, three new organizations were established on the 15th of this month – World Mission Headquarters, Central Administrative Council, and Human Resources Development Institute – announcing a new beginning in a new era based on harmony and peace. It was conveyed that the Federation will continue unceasing advancement as a global religion that realizes the ideal of ‘One Family of Humankind under God’ for world peace and peace on the Korean Peninsula.at is the current responsibility of our blessed families who are living in the Cheon Il Guk era, the time for the completion of God’s providence? The Creator, the center of the universe, had a dream. God created the natural world, and finally created the first man and woman in the divine image, giving them a growing period, a span of time during which they should mature.
For 6,000 years, human history has seen a constant cycle of war and conflict. Through human ignorance, even this beautiful planet Earth—which Heavenly Parent created for us—is being destroyed. Scientists are saying that at this rate there is little hope for the future of humanity or for the future of our planet Earth.
What do you think is the mission of the Second Coming Messiah? What was Jesus’ hope? Why did he say he would come back? He indicated he would return to meet the Only Begotten Daughter.
