Excerpts from Father's speech during hoondokhae on September 3 at Cheon Jeong Peace Palace

The Proclamation of the Substantial Word of God and the Era of the Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind!1 That was the proclamation of the substantial word. On this day, True Parents were placed in the position of the master of heaven because they are the substantial embodiments of the Pledge. The Assembly for the Proclamation of the Substantial word of God and the Era of the Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind was held this year on 5.27 by the heavenly calendar,2 on the foundation of the proclamation of the substantial word by True Parents, the king of kings, by the true God of all things in this world, who is both the invisible God and the visible God, and on the foundation of the proclamation of the word based on the firm establishment and complete settlement of True Parents. This day is of such great significance.

3 Explanations received so far describe the God of Night as the God who created, and the God of Day as God after creating, but who could not fully appear due to the fact that humankind fell and God's ideal was not realized. We hope to offer further clarification on this point in future issues.

From this day, the proclamation of the settlement of the first Israel, the second Israel and the third Israel
