24) The Day of Celebration of Victory

July 1, 1973.

This is the joyous day that can represent the liberation of Jesus. This is a day that has historical significance in the providence.

On July 1 of 1973, I instituted the historical day of celebration, "The Day of Celebration of Victory," in America. Until now, I have set up all kinds of days of celebration in Korea, but this is the first time in the world. I established the Day of Celebration of Victory. Do you understand? In the history of the Unification Church, this is the day that will mark the new beginning.

The Day of Celebration of Victory could be established because in the second seven-year course we have successfully passed through the difficult period of three years. Because we have passed through it well, we are celebrating the victory. No matter how much Satan opposes, the more he opposes, the more he will lose the ground to stand on. Do you understand what this means? It is going to be very different from the past. The more Satan opposes, the more he will decline. For this reason, the Christian churches have now become exhausted. Even in churches in America, they do not have the strength to put up opposition.

In the near future, we the Unification Church will give rise to a hurricane all throughout the nation. "Oh no, the Chung-Pa Dong church headquarters.... I thought that they were so insignificant and weak that they will disappear the moment Christian churches shout loudly, but..." You have to understand that we have established the foundation that cannot be destroyed by any power holder in America. We have established a strong enough base that even if the American people oppose us they cannot get rid of us. I have come back after making miraculous accomplishments in about eight months time. In truth, when I entered here, the voices from the spirit world gave me congratulatory words over our victory. We came out after establishing the Day of Celebration of Victory. I left America on July 7. (writes on the blackboard) July 7 is a historical day. July 7 of 1973 is a historical day.

I left America on July 7 after deciding upon the Day of Celebration of Victory, and I left Japan on July 8. That is the day of new beginning. At that time, I thought, "Such and such events will take place in Japan. When I go to Japan, I will hear some good reports." Just as I had thought, that is what happened. (68-159)

I came back after establishing the Day of Celebration of Victory on the first day of July on the solar calendar, because I entered the position identical to having completed the three-year course of Jesus' course. All the celebration days of the Unification Church had been established in Korea, but this time, I came back to Asia after setting up the Day of Celebration of Victory on American soil. (68-271)
