On May 1, 1977, True Father prophesied that his successor would appear in fifteen years. “I feel I can give myself totally for 15 more years, and in that time I must find someone to succeed me.” Fifteen years later, he did not announce a successor. He announced the co-founder.
FIFTEEN YEARS LATER, HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE A SUCCESSOR. HE ANNOUNCED THE CO-FOUNDER.
To understand this, we go back to True Father’s words in that same 1977 speech: “God will elevate one woman to completely embody the Holy Spirit on earth. This is the time for the birth of the true Eve.”
Father said, “For 70 years, women will be trying to assume their rightful, original role. …God is looking for the ideal woman who has the qualifications and potential to become a true wife and true mother, and eventually the true queen or empress of the universe. …Apart from her family the greatest responsibility and glory that a woman can assume is that of empress or queen of the Kingdom of God. …you sisters here all want to become empresses also, don’t you?”
Father finally succeeded to establish such True Family with True Mother. She became the one. He affirmed numerous times her divine status as the only begotten Daughter, born of a chosen lineage. She did enormous conditions to qualify.
This was the first such woman. Same like Jesus, who also had his unique divine status, born of a chosen lineage. In True Father’s words, “Jesus said ‘God is my Father, and I am His only begotten Son.’ …Jesus emphasized that there could be no other Son than himself. …He was the only Son, … There was no other one who could love God.” True Mother is also the only one - the only begotten - the first restored woman.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING was to restore THE POSITION OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON AND DAUGHTER.
But Jusus could not complete his mission alone. He needed a restored wife, to create True Family. Then Jesus’ followers could have also created true families themselves, with his Blessing.
We all can reach perfection. True Mother teaches that we are, or can be, the true children of True Parents. She can say that because she knows the way.
