Book 12.  The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification and the Women's Era

True Parents declared the era of the Family Federation for World Peace (FFWP) on May 1, 1994, exactly 40 years after the founding of HSA-UWC, on the foundation of True Parents' Holy Wedding and the condition of having completely indemnified the 33 years of Jesus' life. They founded FFWP for the purpose of realizing the kingdom of heaven on earth based on families, since the age for individual salvation had passed. On July 30, 1996, they proclaimed this to the whole world through the founding assembly of the Family Federation for World Peace, held in Washington, DC. On April 8, 1997, True Parents added "and Unification" to the name of the organization.

True Parents established and proclaimed the Family Pledge as the guideline for all families as we entered the FFWPU era. On October 13, 1997, they established the tradition of Hoondokhae, asking us to read True Parents' words regularly and assiduously, and to actualize them in our daily lives.

True Parents appeared and led the providence of salvation on the basis of restoration through indemnity. In 1989 they proclaimed the Era of the Garden of Love and Pal Jeong Shik (the Settlement of the Eight Stages) and stated that we had entered the era in which the payment of indemnity is no longer required. On the foundation of Pal Jeong Shik, which restored the authority of the elder son, True Parents opened the age of Heavenly Parentism. On July 1, 1991, True Parents proclaimed Chil Il Jeol (7-1 Day), the Declaration Day of God's Eternal Blessing, which completed the course of historical indemnity, and they declared an eternal blessing upon all humankind.

Prior to the new millennium, they proclaimed, on January 3, 1993, the completion of the New Testament Age and the beginning of the Completed Testament Age. At the outset of the Completed Testament Age, they also revealed that it was the era for blessed families to lead God's providence, and that they are to do this by accelerating their tribal messiah activities in their hometowns. On April 10, 1992, True Parents proclaimed the "Advent of the Global Era of Women" as they hosted the founding rally of the Women's Federation for World Peace (WFWP).

True Mother then appeared on the world-level public stage for the first time, touring Korea, Japan, the United States and other countries to inaugurate WFWP globally. In so doing, she announced the long-awaited true freedom of women, in public appearances, with a heart to bless all humanity. During the 31st Parents' Day ceremony, held on March 27, 1990, True Father had already declared the "liberation of all women" and had announced True Mother as the second founder of the Unification movement. On June 14, 1999, True Father presented True Mother with an award after she completed a speaking tour of 80 cities around the world for the Global Expansion of True Families. This was a public proclamation that True Mother was completely united with True Father, and that they were jointly leading the entire providence together, that she had contributed greatly to the conclusion of the providence of restoration, and that she has been victorious.
