At the worship service, Mother gave thanks to Father for granting His children a gracious and beautiful temple, and also prayed to Father to quickly accomplish the world mission by opening doors for preaching and calling many gospel workers to go out into the world. After prayer, Mother complimented the efforts of the members who had worked hard until the new temple was completed. She reminded them of the early days of the Church, and encouraged them, saying, “All these remarkable achievements have been made because there are prophecies. So, believe the prophecies of God and endure to the end, and you will all receive the glory of heaven which has been prepared for you.”

General Pastor Joo-Cheol Kim gave thanks to God and expressed his over-whelming joy for the dedication of the new temple. He conveyed the will of God who wants to make the heavenly Jerusalem the praise and glory of the earth, saying, “In the Old Testament times, the living water was granted to the people at the temple of Jerusalem through the Feast of Tabernacles, which commemorated the dedication of the temple. This shows that the water of life will flow out from the heavenly Jerusalem our Mother, who is the reality of the earthly temple, in this prophetic age which is represented by the Feast of Tabernacles, so that all mankind can be revived and saved.” Also, he emphasized, saying, “According to this will of God, this temple has been granted to us. So, it should also be a gracious place to proclaim the glory and salvation of the heavenly Jerusalem to all nations” (Zec 14:16-18; Eze 47:1-12; 1 Ki 6:19-20; Rev 21:9-16; Gal 4:26; Isa 62:6-7).
