From a SC Korean leader. Very deep and good explanation of essential points. Thank you
Choon Morton for this excellent translation!
Hyung Jin Nim gives clear and powerful sermons each week, but not everyone can see them. I translated a post in Korea by Professor Yong Pil Kwon, which clearly explains Mother’s mission and the 자리축복 “position” blessing. I read great posts here every day and as a Korean American, I also follow in-depth discussions in Korea. These are two completely different cultural spheres, but we are all one community of faith with the most advanced truth. I think it is important to understand the core spiritual principles that unite us.
CIG Comes Through the Heavenly Lineage
[True Father’s words: “At the time of the blessing, you repeat 4 marriage vows, don’t you? Heavenly Father brought you to that position, but when the promise is not kept, who would take responsibility for the failure? It is the person’s responsibility. The position still remains at that time and Satan cannot invade. Therefore, all the Blessed Central Families lifted their hands and gave oath.”
“When Mother started her course she also had to give her oath in front of True Father. After 40 days Flood Judgment, when his family came out from the Ark, if Noah had made his wife and each of his children one by one give an oath and then they started a new life, even later if Ham made a mistake, that could have been just Ham’s mistake. However, the whole Noah’s Ark providence would not have been destroyed.” (천일국시대의 생활원리 강해 The Era of CIG Practical living DP Lecture p 20-2.1)]
True Father told us that what we received was a “position Blessing 자리축복”. As you know when a blessed member of a blessed family fell and could not keep the Blessing only that person failed and another person can fill that position. For example, after the 6000 blessing, when the subject position (husband) failed in that family, but the object position (wife) kept the position then through re-Blessing of 6500 couple the position as 6000 couple is restored. This is because it is a “position Blessing.”
Among the FFWPU members there are so many who have a hard time to understand Moon Hyung Jin Nim’s words. When Mother did not keep her original position and left the True Mother’s position, she failed. Then one might ask, doesn’t it mean also True Parents both failed? For that reason, Sanctuary church members are attacked as people who deny True parents’ providence. Especially the Family Federation HQ educates members like that. If one accepts such misleading claims, then one does not have the correct understanding of True Father’s words.
In his speeches True Father explained that Mother had to take an oath in front of True Father before their Holy Wedding. Then she started her course. What that means is mother as an individual has a possibility to not fulfill her portion of responsibility and fail. Therefore, True Father made her take an oath, too. Why? Even if Mother fails, the providence of True Parents must continue. While True Father was on earth with us, when Mother left her object position and acted as she liked, True Father often warned her that he could divorce her. This is based on True Father’s words above, and it is not an unprincipled statement.
Now True Father has passed on and is not here on earth, so he can’t divorce and be re-Blessed. But when Han Hakja Mother left her position and failed as True Mother, then Han Hakja mother is the failed one. However, the position of True Mother does not disappear. Also the True Parents’ providence is not ending as failure. By the same token, although Adam and Eve fell, the position as God’s original son and daughter remained, so restoration was possible. It is not God ‘s creation of human beings that failed. As the second or third Adam comes and restores failures by paying indemnity, the position can be restored. This is explained in the Divine Principle.
True Mother is the one who should receive True Father, the only begotten son, the Lord of Second Advent, the Messiah. True Father’s heavenly seed brings Heaven’s blood lineage and Heavenly Father’s blood lineage. Therefore, giving birth and attending is a very important mission. The concept of begotten daughter and female messiah that Han Hakja speaks of is the opposite of what True Father is teaching. True Father’s begotten daughter is someone who receives the begotten son’s sperm and gives birth to sinless children as an offering to God and Heaven’s blood lineage. Han mother succeeded in this mission but in the mission of upholding Heaven’s lineage, she failed. Mother gave birth to 14 children through her belly, but they are the Heavenly Father’s blood lineage, the Messiah’s and the only begotten son’s blood lineage. One thing is clear: Mother is True Father’s wife and for the True Children she is in the Mother’s position, but her blood lineage is the Han lineage. It is clearly not Heaven’s lineage. Mother’s lineage is not the original sinless lineage. Mother failed in the second mission. She had to attend and protect True Father’s lineage. But she changed after True Father’s Seong Hwa. She denounced True Father’s lineage as fallen lineage and kicked out True Father’s lineage, proclaiming hers’ as the pure blood lineage which God was looking for, 6,000 years long. She lied that hers’ is the pure lineage. This act is a fallen act, an unforgivable act that God cannot forgive.
The words from True Father’s lifelong achievements were deleted, edited and added to as she wished. True Father’s substantial tradition and foundation were denied and sold. Therefore, she completely left True Mother’s position. Because Mother left her position, someone has to take responsibility and instead of her complete True Mother’s position. The representative, Inheritor, Heir, the Second King Moon Hyung Jin’s wife Yeon Ah (Lee) Moon has to take the unfulfilled responsibility instead of Mother and fulfill the True Mother position.
That does not mean though that Yeon Ah Nim would be the wife of True Father. She is only taking over the remaining part of the True Mother’s mission and fulfilling and keeping the True Parents position.
She also gave birth to the Heavenly lineage through Hyung Jin Nim’s seed and by protecting and attending her son Shin Jun Nim as the Heavenly lineage, she can indemnify the failure of Han Mother. In doing so, True Mother’s position is complete and True Parents’ position is completed.
Han Hakja Mother did not obey the call to repent and return to her original position in the set time period. Now, since she took subject position towards True Father, even if she would repent and come back to her original position, she can no longer take her position as True Mother. The responsibility has already passed over to the next person.
