A Profound Prayer...
...A Providential Proclamation...
A Promise of A New Era of Peace and Prosperity...
The Rise and Dawning of a New Heaven and a New Earth:
The Advent of the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World (An extract):
Distinguished peace ambassadors and leaders from all fields of life, you are now living in the
most blessed and exalted time in history. The era after the coming of heaven has arrived! I
proclaim the beginning of the new heaven and new earth, long-awaited and yearned for by
billions of your ancestors in the spirit world who have come and gone throughout history. This is
the era of the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. The four great religious founders and billions
of good ancestors have come down to earth to guide you on the heavenly path. The age when
the fallen and corrupt world wreaks havoc on humankind, allowing evil people to live better than
others, is passing away.
Our ultimate purpose is to find and establish the nation that seeks to do the will of God and
whose citizens all serve God as its center. What would that nation be? It would be the kingdom of
the peaceful, ideal world. It would be a nation resembling the form of a true family with three
generations living together in harmony, trusting, respecting and supporting one another and
becoming one in love. In short, it is the nation humanity has desired throughout the ages, the
Utopia where God is sovereign.
This means we need a movement to realize a society of interdependence, mutual prosperity
and universally shared values. We must make humankind into one great family by breaking down
the walls in our hearts and eliminating even the boundaries between nations. This movement
begins from each family. Therefore, we should all bear in mind that it is our providential calling to
establish a true family. This is the way we can advance the establishment of the universal peace
kingdom on earth.
Indeed, all this is coming to pass. In the Middle East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews,
Christians and Muslims have found the resources in my philosophy of peace to engage in a new
dimension of dialogue. In past decades my Unification Thought played a decisive role in ending
the Cold War. Now I am successfully leading behind-the-scenes efforts to bring about the
reunification of my homeland of Korea.
But I am not yet satisfied, because I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. I have
come as the True Parent of humankind with God’s anointing and I am determined to keep my
promise to Him. I am determined to obliterate all national divisions and barriers that have
poisoned this earth and to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where all people
everywhere can live hand in hand.
The above Chapter Title and five excerpts were taken from one of the Peace Messages in a Book of Peace Messages entitled : God's Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful Ideal World; which was written by Reverend Sun Myung Moon.
