Explanation
Because of the fall, human beings could not
realize God's three blessings. Humankind also could not realize the
perfection and ideal of the individual, couple, parents, children, and
ownership; True Parents restored all this. On the foundation of
Parents Day, Children's Day, and The Day of All Things, True Parents
established God's Day on January 1, 1968. If Adam and Eve had achieved
perfection, they would have received God's Blessing. That day would
have been a joyful day for God; it would have been God's Day. God had
been longing for His own sons and daughters, and God's Day became a
day of exultation, because He could rejoice at having found His son
and daughter.
If they had achieved the position of
perfected true parents, Adam and Eve would have established Parents
Day. That day would also have been the first Children's Day. Perfected
Adam and Eve would have been true owners, as well, and could have
proclaimed The Day of All Things. In this sense, their Blessing day
would have been a combination of God's Day, Parents' Day, Children's
Day, and The Day of All Things. In restoration, however, the four days
had to be established one by one, ending with God's Day.
Each country has its own holidays. For
example, in the West many days such as Father's Day and Mother's Day
are celebrated. Yet no one had ever proclaimed or celebrated a day for
God. Religious leaders have made many proclamations, but none
mentioned this obvious omission, which should be the most important
holiday -- God's Day.
