On April 11, 1960-March 16 in the lunar calendar-the holy matrimony of our Teacher and Ms. Hak Ja Han took place. The holy ceremony began at ten o'clock. Teacher holy salted the ceremonial hall. The first ceremony was the "ceremony of the parents of restoration through indemnity," and was conducted with the 700 men and women who were chosen from each church congregation. After walking out and stepping up to the platform, Teacher offered a brief prayer to Heavenly Father and made a proclamation. Following that there were speeches by Won Pil Kim and Dal Ok Chung and poetry by Kwang Yol Eu. Following this was the second ceremony, "the ceremony of the True Parents." The two of them entered again and, after offering their pledge and four bows to God, they bowed to each other three times, and then exchanged gifts. The main body of the ceremony concluded with another bow to each other. Then they stood together facing the members. According to the order of events, there was an offering of gifts, and as representatives Jun Yeong Lee, Young Whi Kim, and Dae Hwa Chung offered the gifts, two high school students, Ju Jin Eu and Myung Ae Kim, read the panegyric. The ceremony ended with the pledge of the Teacher and the prayer of blessing. (Sa Bo, No. 1, page 3) This is the day that holy salt was used for the first time. (9-79) In order to liquidate the persecution on the world level, we have to establish the physical and spiritual condition of indemnity that Jesus could not form on the world level. Establishing in Korea the foundation for indemnity on which Jesus... What was the long cherished wish of Jesus? Wasn't it marriage? Isn't this true? [Yes] What was the undying hope of Jesus? Wasn't it marrying? What else would the wish of a man be? Isn't Jesus also a man? [Yes] Whose wish was it to marry before God centering on God's love? [The wish of Jesus] It was the long-cherished hope of Jesus. However, since due to his death he could not fulfill his wishes, it is his desire to return again and realize that dream. Therefore, today we have to bring to pass in Korea centering on the Unification Church the wish of Jesus not fulfilled in Israel and Judaism . What is this? [Marriage] What marriage? It is holy matrimony. I married in the 1960s. By doing so, I established the standard on which the indemnity can be paid. (122-106) Because I built the foundation of the family in 1960, we will not perish now. If I could not have built the foundation of the family, we would have been doomed. How historic was the holy matrimony of 1960! The fact that Adam could prepare a foundation on the earth and receive Eve as perfect Eve on the basis of the efforts that were made for 600 years to find one Adam signifies that the separation that took place between the spirit world and the physical world is being ended on the earth with their re-unification. Man represents Heaven and woman represents earth. The spirit world and the physical world that had been previously separated are being brought together. The wall which showed that Adam and Eve were enemies is being dismantled. This wall that prevented Adam and Eve from meeting God is also being brought down. Satan will fade away. In this way, God, Adam and Eve will become one. (122-97) You do not understand how amazing it was to offer the ceremony of holy matrimony in 1960 after Adam, for whom God had longed for 6000 years, came and paid the indemnity on the earth. When God was watching this event, how nervous a moment it must have been, just like walking on a sheet of thin ice that can determine one's life and death. Because I understood the whole picture of the Will, I was able to make appropriate decisions and overcome. Do you understand? (122-102) Is the year 1960 a year that we should be grateful for? [Yes] You have to understand how grateful you have to be. Therefore, from 1960, there took place great earthquakes in the satanic world. Historians talk about it too, but why are there such earth-shattering shake-ups? Why are such great changes taking place in the forty-year period from 1960 to 2000? In order to restore the fallen world, evil entities must be dismantled and dispersed and swept away. For this reason, such things are happening in the internal forty years and the external forty years. (122-103) Centering on 1960, I received Mother and conducted the ceremony of holy matrimony, and centering on the family of True Parents, I have been creating a tribe. (135-178) After selecting Mother in this way, the era of women came to the Unification Church. The era of women is the time of troubles. (122-105)
