This Foundation Day, True Mother outlined the 2001-2012 providence to build the heavenly nation through three 4-year courses.
“Representatives of the world, centering on the True Family, bowed to True Parents’ authority of love.“
The formation stage, 2001-4, began with the enthronement of God and the True Parents’ second Holy Wedding. Following this, representatives of the world’s religions and governments, centering on the True Family, bowed to True Parents’ authority of love as king and queen of Cheon Il Guk. This took place in Jerusalem, representing the Old Testament Age, in Washington, DC, representing the New Testament Age, and at Korea’s National Assembly, representing the Completed Testament Age.

“They established a model national and global system.“
Global governance begins with blessed family life, so in this stage, “True Parents …opened the era of daily life governance on the foundation of the Principle centered on the House of Unification for World Peace.” Then, in the Jubilee Years of 2006-7, they combined family and global governance:
They fulfilled the True Family’s responsibility to educate in the Word on a global tour undertaken by three generations: True Parents, True Children and True Grandchildren. Through this, they established a model national and global system moving in the direction of Cheon Il Guk.
The completion stage we’ll cover on Friday.
