Significance of the Ceremony for Bequeathing True Parents’ Words

Father Moon is not confused about the 8 great textbooks. They were the leaders of the world and each of them received a copy of these books. "You must study them now and in the Spiritual World". Of course, Han mother and the Family Federation think they know things better than Father. They think they have the right to change them.

1. Take care of it

“Please take care of these Eight Great Textbooks more than me at this time because I am living in those textbooks. I am in the Word”. [Meaning of the Eight Great Textbooks, given at the European Leaders’ Assembly (August 19-24, 2012]

In his speech "The Meaning of the Eight Great Textbooks" given to the Assembly of European Leaders (19-24 August 2012, Professor Oh told the audience that the Father had asked everyone to take care of the Eight Great Books of more text than himself.

"I am leaving behind eight textbooks and teaching materials for humankind to use for all eternity. Altogether, these are published in almost a thousand volumes. They are: The Sermons of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Exposition of the Divine Principle, Cheon Seong Gyeong, The Family Pledge, Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong, True Families: Gateway to Heaven, Owner of Peace and Owner of Lineage, and World Scripture. These are textbooks, you will have to read and study even after you go to the spirit world. They are not just teachings that come from the mind of one person; they are textbooks and teaching materials that teach the heavenly way that God has granted to His suffering children for their salvation".

This Proclamation was made on 3 different occasions, as follows:

• July 24, 2010 - Manhattan Center, New York, NY - "Convention to Proclaim the Word that Firmly Establishes the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind"

• April 26, 2011 - Sun Myung Moon - European Tour - Cosmic Assembly for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and for the Proclamation of the Word by God's Substantial Self

• "January 12-15, 2012 - Convensia, Songdo in Inchon, Korea, with 12,000 in audience attending - "Cosmic Assembly for the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and for the Proclamation of the Word by God's Substantial Self."

2. No one should change the Eight Great Textbooks

"I know when there are some changes in what I’ve said, even a word or colon. I check repeatedly to leave perfection behind when I die. You should be the same way. When you leave a historic inheritance to your descendants, you must make sure you’re leaving something flawless. That’s how you can inherit True Parents’ position. This is absolutely true. Otherwise, you can’t pass through the door into the spirit world behind True Parents. You’ll end up creating paradise or hell right before the doorstep of heaven. There won’t be any restoration for thousands or tens of thousands of years".

Sun Myung Moon, Declaration of the Realm of Life of the Unity and Completed Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth August 5, 2002 Sutaek-ri, Korea

Father was predicting that if the Cheon Seong Gyeong and the 8 textbooks were changed, there would have been a division in the church. He knew it and predicted it.

“The reason why we are having this time is because [I’m worried that I] might leave behind affirmations that could be criticized after I leave to Spirit World. We have to make it very clear. The word Cheon Seong Gyeong is a very dreadful word. Any person, a third person, regardless of how great they may be, even if they have several Nobel prizes under their belt, nobody can touch [or change] the Cheon Seong Gyeong. That’s why new denominations will not arise.

3. Study this Material for a thousand and ten thousand years

"I leave you eight books and educational material for humanity and to be used for eternity.All together, they are published in almost a thousand volumes ... These are the manuals you must read and study even after you are in the spiritual world."

• Constitution of the New Era of Universal Peace,, December 4, 2010, the last word is spoken to humanity

We must continue to move forward focusing on the texts of Cheon Seong Gyeong and Pyeong Hwa Shin Gyeong per thousand and ten thousand years until a new heaven is complete."

• The Sermons of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Vol. 596 p.171 (Korean).

4. Now everything is completed

“Now it is all finished. There is nothing left to touch [change]. I immediately know if someone changes even one syllable [in the text] because I read those textbooks several hundred times. You must memorize it all. ‘Owner of peace, owner of lineage’, Cheon Seong Gyeong, Family Pledge, and the World Scriptures. All the textbooks are included for 12 years of Cheon Il Guk”.
