January 1, 1968. Main points:

(1) The foundation of victory has been prepared, on which God can freely work centering on the tribe or family.

(2) Now, we can achieve the standard that God desired in the Garden of Eden centering on Adam and Eve.

(3) As this day is being instituted, the march toward the developmental stage on a new dimension has become more feasible. Moreover, because history until now has been the history of indemnity, all the efforts, sweat and tears, and all our accomplishments were solely for the sake of indemnity, and could not produce results that God could really be happy about.

(4) However, from now on, all the achievements that we make through our blood, sweat, and tears will no longer vanish as conditions of indemnity in the satanic world.

(5) Our toil from now on will be connected to your own, and you will be able to reap them as your own accomplishments. We have entered such an era. In other words, the time has come when all of our efforts will be consolidated as God's victory. This is a glorious time, a time when God can be happy:

(a) the era when God can intervene

(b) the era when God can coordinate directly centering on the family of Heaven

(6) The realm of time has been established when your hard work can bear fruit.

(7) This has become the unlimited source of pride before God; and before Satan, it constitutes the cause of limitless grief.

(8) Due to the institution of God's Day, the time has become ripe for countless spirits of the spirit world to come down to the earth and revolving around the wishes of God launch a full-scale attack.

(9) Until now, the fortune of the world was invisible. Now we have entered the era when you can reap the blessings.

Points to remember at the time of the proclamation of God's Day:

(1) You have to understand the profound significance and value of this day.

(2) You have to pioneer your lifestyle and attitude with this date as a guiding index and, going one step further, you must seek to fulfill your responsibility as the unified tribe to complete the responsibility on the tribal level.

(3) You have to do things that I wanted to do.

(4) You have to equip yourself with all the necessary qualities as a true patriot.

(5) You have the responsibility to teach your descendants about the significance of God's Day and leave it behind for them to hold up as your will.

(6) You have to be dignified filial sons and daughters, and be able to boast before Satan your imposing and intrepid appearance, and complete your responsibility as the embodiment of goodness. (from Rev. Hyo Won Eu's notes)

By proclaiming God's Day on January 1, 1968, I restored the position of parents who have not fallen. Through this, Satan will be completely decimated and man will be restored fully. (21-23)

January 1, 1968 is the first joyous day in history that God has been longing for, the realization of the ideal of creation when He can finally become one with Adam and Eve centering on His love and settle down. You have to understand that such a day is God's Day. (applause) No matter how much the world opposes, and heaven and earth all put up opposition, this date, to God, is still a happy and fulfilling day for the first time since the creation of the world. (161-46)

The significance of God's Day is that it is the day when we have entered the direct dominion of God. Moreover, Parents' Day is the day that symbolizes the restoration by the fallen parents of their position before the fall. Furthermore, we have instituted not only God's Day and Parents' Day, but also Children's Day and the Day of All Things. (34-103)

Only on the first day of January, 1968, were we able to establish God's Day. Isn't this so? [Yes] Why so? We had to cross over the seven-year course. So, after entering the realm of direct dominion of God, we could establish God's Day.

Through the institution of God's Day, all the sorrowful days of history as well as Parents' Day, Children's Day, and the Day of All Things were indemnified, and we have launched a full-fledged departure on the world level. Do you understand? So, Mother had to go through the seven year course. It was Adam who was supposed to protect her through all that. (122-105)

Although you have been ignorant-like an immature child, being carried around on the back while crying and doing all sorts of childish things-the mission of parents is enormous. They have to decide upon the road that they would take, climb over the mountains that they must climb over, and cross the oceans that they have to cross; this is how they have come so far. So, the fact that through such a course, passing the year 1967 and greeting God's Day centering on 1968 is..... From there, light finally began to be shed upon the earth.

Next, we have to usher in the era of living a symbiotic life of common fate. 1977 is the physical symbiotic life. From this moment we are to cross over to the era of spiritual symbiotic life. Therefore, the Unification Church is making progress. The holy matrimony conducted in Korea is the basis through which we were able to stand in the position of accomplishing things that Jesus could not in his life time. Even if Jesus were to have gone through the ceremony of holy matrimony, the seven-year course would have still remained. That is the seven years of great calamities. Because we had paid the indemnity for it and instituted God's Day in 1968, after that great changes were made possible. (122-107)
