Cheating is Cheaters Fault No Exception

How could someone make such a stupid statement?  First off, whether you believe in God or whether you do not believe and refuse to follow His strict laws, He has placed rules from the beginning that lead to blessings and if we refuse to follow those decisions lead to curses.  This is an absolute law which can not be even violated by God.

One of the laws is that his children are to stay pure until they mature.  Which means, before they are to marry they should mature their spirits before thinking about the opposite sex.  God isn't a 'try it out' God.  He supposed that man and woman would remain faithful to Him and grow with Him through His word before He would marry them to another. 

Seems extreme, but you see it in the bible when it speaks about humanity should remain as brides and bridegroom until the coming of the Lord.  So even though we are single, we should act as if Jesus or the feminine Holy Spirit is our counterparts until the marriage blessing. 

In other words, every man should stay faithful to God until they are blessed until marriage and thus offer their body parts, the most holy place, to their spouses. 

Even those who have no belief in God will cry uncontrollably when their spouse shares the most sacred part to another woman.  Also, parents will have opposition to their children experiencing sex or having children before they are out of high school.  This is because they sense God's law without having a belief in him.

Of course, there are the exception of wife swapping and parents who encourage sex in their teens, I have known acquaintances that do such.  Are they truly happy?  Hell, no.  Not in the end, destruction and high emotions, there is suffering and sadness on this path. 

Back to the idea that single people are to have the thought they have God as a counterpart through the ideal of Jesus or the feminine Holy Spirit.  That means, even if we are single, when we overly desire or have sex before we are in the marriage of God, we betray God.  We 'cheat on him'  So in short, everything done with the desires of being with someone else outside of our spouse's relation, is a betrayal to God and secondly our spouse.  Period. 

Hard pill to swallow.  Once millions recognize this and truly live by this standard you will see a miraculous overnight revival in America of no more babies out of wedlock, fidelity in marriage and a lot more healthy people unbroken caused by a string of broken relationships.

Well, if one looks at it from the position of the cheater or from the position of the one who helped the cheater cheat, this universal law seems unidealistic.  I am looking from the position of God's point-of-view.  If God could be a judge in court presiding over a case of a wife and husband and the wife had never listened to the husband when he needed her and did not fulfill her portion of responsibility as a wife, then the husband kisses and makes out with his coworker offering his attentions to her who is at fault? 

  Most people would be on the side of the one who was being neglected in the marriage.  What if this same scenario and we find out instead of cheating the husband beats the wife to get her to be nice or do as he wants.  What's the difference?  I thought it was the one who was ignoring the spouse fault and the other can do as they please to "get back" at that spouse.  Isn't that in essence what cheating is?  Yes, this would be true by today's standard and by the standard of reality television shows.

When we look from a higher point-of-view even beyond religion and just by the rule of God, would God say that the husband was in the right?  Absolutely not.

First of all in order to cheat, one not only violates the contract of their relationship, but they also have violated their contract with God.
Before any of us decides to settle down we are no doubt born as individuals who grow as individuals until maturity.  God had told us it was during this time that we should make our spirit strong and grow in love with God into maturity.  But we as humanity do not mature our spirits at all before we link ourselves to another.  All relationships after Adam and Eve have been between two spiritually immature people entering into oneship and multiplying their immature spirit and problems to their children, family and into society.  So, yes, you and I and every human was born with sin.

God expects that before we enter in marriage every human is to wait for their bride, which means we have the Lord as our husband or Holy Spirit as the wife until we marry.

This means even single people should not enter into relationships that could perpetuate the fall over again.


Cheating Repeats the Fall 

If one falls with another being to whom they are not married, they have violated their connection to God and have to amend the situation to be forgiven and return to their rightful position.  No matter what another person does, there is nothing on this earth that should be blamed for the fact that a person broke their covenant with God.

Some say that Abel's arrogance of making fun of Cain's offering caused rage in Cain.  Even if Cain had the right to kill his brother, it does not change the fact that his brother is gone from the earth before he could accomplish God's Will.

This is why it is crucial that an individual  mature their spirit before they think about another individual  to the level that no matter what, to the point of death, they want to please God and take their purity in front of God and protect it. This is the only way that two people who have this kind of standard can keep a Godly marriage solid.

There no doubt should be any blame taken from the other person, for why people stray, but they are not to blame for a person betraying God.  Nothing is excusable for this.  Try explaining to God like Job did about his own indiscretions throughout life and see how far you get with, "but she nagged me, she didn't love me enough".  Might work with human society but God does not play when it comes to His word. 

Thank God that He gives each of us chances to start anew after paying for our mistakes we can return to zero.


Cheating Waves a Bigger Sign

If you delighted in the movie "When Harry Met Sally" you may remember the scene when Harry tells his best friend at the ball game about his wife on the same day he finds out she is moving out and first time he realizes it is to live with another man.  His friend says that cheating is not the problem it is a symptom that something is wrong in the marriage.  Harry says, "Well, that symptom is f*&king my wife!"

If a man betrays the trust of a marriage and it is his fault, why do women want to beat the heck out of the other woman?  Because she is the fruit of what is wrong in their marriage in the first place.  A woman's problems with her husbands can drive him to do something wrong, including drugs, abuse and sex with another woman, but these are just the outward appearance of hidden problems within their marriage and they can 'beat' or blame this symptom as a kind of relief.

God desires absolute, unique and eternal love. Do we all have five senses? (Yes.) Why do they exist? Only the power of love is able to mobilize these five senses to the core. When these five senses are mobilized into one point, it is called the love core. Then between plus and minus at the core they make a spark which is the action of love-making. It is like lightening and thunder. When your five senses are focused on this love core, do you want to have ten focal points or one central point?

We want one.

Absolutely one. Through marriage, the plus and minus love pillars come together and create a spark which will light the entire world. That particular lightning and thunder of the action of love-making will light the entire world.

We have two eyes, but when we look at one object we focus on one point. Even our eyes are formed in such a way. Then as husband and wife we can never look at someone else in an unprincipled way. In order to be able to enter the Kingdom of God as blessed couples, we should carry our plus and minus light pillars and create this spark, lightning and thunder throughout eternity.

Without doing so we will not be able to enter the Kingdom of God. As husband and wife we know how many poles or pillars we have within our heart. One central pole for our spouse or other poles? If we have so many poles centered on so many people in the position of husband and wife, we should be considered trash cans. This represents the worst kind of hell.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: Clean Up on "Aisle End of the World"

Photos courtesy: freedigitalphotos.net

This post is based upon the teachings of Dr. Rev. Sun Myung Moon who wrote the Divine Principle which every post is based upon.  The original was written in the 1950s in Korean and translated in the 1960s in English.  Each post is rewritten from the point of view of seven consistent years of study and application mostly using the original English translation word for word.

Only Belief in Jesus Not Enough

This could be argued a had said he needed us to have belief that he was the son of God.  That's it...for that instruction.  Jesus also said to pick up your cross and follow him.  Follow his instruction, work on your problems and become perfect like your Father in heaven was perfect.

If only the mere belief in Jesus caused a Christian, Catholic or Jew the ability to become perfect, please bring those sisters and brothers forward to give their testimony to the world.  I have friends and clergymen who believe that Satan will always be the dominator on earth and that humanity will never have the capacity to become perfect. 

 

My response is, that will be true in your life as long as you hold onto that notion.  Satan will always dominant such a person's to some extent and that person will stop working on themselves to a certain extent.

 

Why have we made God so small!!!!

He had the expectation for Adam and Eve to reach perfection and never gave up that dream after they fell.  He also gave us power over the angel and even though int he beginning we followed him instead, does not mean we can not dominate Lucifer, a servant, back to his position.

If there were no tools or God's words in existence that gave us the ability to do either one, would I be so bold to announce it without fear of his attack?  No, I have not reached perfection, but I do have tools that have bound Satan from interfering in mine and my families life and have been given the chance through the Lord of the Second Advent's words, to liberate thousands of years of pain caused by my ancestors which you and I repeat generation after generation.

We can go beyond the 2,000 year doctrine of just follow to being owners alongside Jesus in the battle to win the world back to God's side.


Paradise Is Not The Kingdom of Heaven

If at the beginning of creation, a family could have been realized in which God and man could have united in a relationship of True Love, today we would not have to worry about Hell or Heaven because we would have automatically entered the Kingdom of God.  The problem here is that God's true love and true man's love did not begin at a common point, united as a subjective and objective love. God's love and man's love began in two different directions with two different goals. Therefore, it has been impossible to realize the ideal world which God and man long for. God's ideal of beginning in a common point was completely frustrated.

What does the conscience do to win the true love God? Even if a person has money, knowledge or power, and she loses the love of her life, none of those things have any meaning. If you unburden and liberate your mind completely, your conscience will automatically connect with the True Love of God. If we compare the conscience's size to love's size, we will see that the size of love is greater. We can know this due to the fact that the conscience begins from love.

The Kingdom of Heaven is the place where we go to live in unity with God's True Love and a free conscience. It is the place we go after having lived centered on love and after preparing ourselves to be the lineage of God's love. Without winning this love, we can never enter the Kingdom of God. We will have to wait thousands of years until that day comes. Due to the fall, there will not be a connection with the Kingdom of Heaven so long as man is not illuminated by God's true thought and sustained by God's True Love.

The person who lives in unity, with a true conscience and true love, will automatically enter the Kingdom of Heaven. No matter how much a person believes in Jesus, he cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven if he is not linked to the love of God. The fact that our mind and body are struggling prevents us from entering the Kingdom. The person who inherited Satan's lineage cannot enter the Kingdom.

The religions which have the mission of opening the way are struggling amongst themselves and will have a sad ending in the Last Days. God cannot be found where there is conflict. Religion is a movement to subjugate the body and liberate the conscience. It is not a key to open the doors to salvation. We have to know that the key which opens that door will not be received if we fail to inherit the love, the life and the true lineage of God.

By believing in religion, we will not receive salvation. In reality, religion exists to discipline the body. When our conscience is liberated, its ambition can be raised up to God. How does this seem to you? Think first about what you are doing. Will you try to find out more about this? Who will know first what someone is doing? Who will know first? The conscience or God?

The conscience will know first. Man is a distinct person from God because he occupies the object position. In the same sense, husband and wife are different. The characteristics of each are clearly different. If we were to conclude that God could know everything prior to it happening, we could say that we are a part of God, as if we are a single body. But in such a case, we could not be God's objects of love. An ideal cannot be perfected when it is alone.

After Adam and Eve sinned, God asked, "Adam, where are you?" Adam hid himself behind a fig tree and answered, "I am here." God understood and said, "You hid yourself because you have sinned." Man comes from God's love and returns to God. We must return to God. Ladies and gentlemen, when sons and daughters age and when parents reach the age of 100 and their children reach the age of 80, the relationship of father and son also becomes a relationship of friends. Friends!

We cannot compare the physical strength of a woman with that of a man. She can never defeat him. But through love, wife and husband are attracted to one another and follow each other. If Adam and Eve had been the objects of God's love, would that have been pleasing to Him or not? God created the universe before Adam and Eve would have perfected themselves as His objects of love. God had the ambitious hope that in the future they would be His ideal object.

If, after having perfected themselves as the object of God's love, they had asked God to create something greater than what He had already created, do you think He could have done so or not? As infinite as the ambition of our conscience is, we should know that God can create everything that we desire. God created us with the value of True Love objects. Because this value was lost, it must be restored.

This restoration is the purpose of human life and history. God established religions and promised that some day each of the founders of those religions would return. Christianity has taught that Jesus will return. In Buddhism they speak of the return of Buddha. Confucianism alludes to a new Confucius. Likewise in Islam, believers await the return of Muhammad. What would be the reason that God established the different religions?


Restore Us to God's Ideal

We need to understand that the will of God is accomplished centered on His beloved children, children who are like God's flesh and blood. With that type of son and daughter, God wants to form families, tribes, races, and nations. We need to understand what kind of person the Messiah is. In his Second Coming, the Lord is the person who perfects the ideal which has been longed for by all the religions, coming to the earth for the first time in the eternal love of God.

He will become a TRUE FATHER and centered on that lost True Love, He will work to establish an ideal family on earth on the foundation of true life and true lineage. That is the purpose of the providence of salvation. Due to the fall, God lost the true Mother as well as the children of Adam's family. This means that God could not have true children. There was no family which was connected to the pure blood lineage which was to come from God's love. Instead we linked to Satan's fallen lineage perpetuating sin throughout humanity.

The providence of salvation is the providence of restoration which God has been leading to restore His lost sons and daughters and restore the unity of mind and body, the absolute unity of husband and wife, and the absolute unity of parents and children in the True Love of God. This true family which is qualified to live eternally with God should be connected to Christianity which is in the position of bride to the Lord.

By establishing such a blood relationship with God, we can realize united families, tribes, races, nations and united nations which would thus conform to the united world which is the culmination of the providence of salvation. Distinguished leaders of this nation, is it not true that this nation would like to receive God's blessing? To do so, you must become a people whose mind and body are united in God's true Love.

You must also unite as absolute husbands and wives. When the number of families in any nation which can unite as absolute children of God grows, then God will come to live in that nation. If this happens, then automatically that nation will become the central nation of the world. Human beings have this kind of nature. If his beloved one lives in the countryside, in poverty, he wants to live there with her. In the same way, if there is a place where God's beloved sons and daughters dwell, that place, if poor, will be the Kingdom of Heaven. If rich, it will be the Kingdom of Heaven as well.

Today the Founder of the Unification Church is here speaking to you. If you ask me, "What is the mission of the Unification Church?" I will say that it is a place where God's True Love is present. It is the place where we want our mind and body to unite in true love. It is the place where we want to form ideal marriages with absolute unity between husband and wife. By means of an ideology which can make all people into inseparable brothers and sisters, we are carrying out the mission which God has given us.

With the love of the True God and the love of the True Parents, we are cleaning everything that was dirtied by false love, false life and false lineage. The Lord of the Second Advent has achieved the True Parents position. The mass international marriage ceremonies are the ceremonies to sow the seed of true love, true life and true lineage which results from the unity of God's love and man's love.

The blessing marriage is a ceremony to restore families formed in false marriage which, due to the fall, received the seed of false love, false life, and false lineage. Having families participate in these mass marriage ceremonies from around the world will connect them to God's great blessing. It is my fervent desire that all people receive that great blessing and become families and a people which can establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.


World Peace Through God's Marriage

The Lord of the Second Advent initiated through God the Mass Wedding movement bringing people of different races, religions, cultures, and enemies, together in Holy Marriage which links them directly to God's lineage.

The following is the how Father Moon expresses his desires to those who are learning about the movement to open their eyes to the truth to the foundation he laid for all humanity, not to just those who are members of the Unification Church.  In the beginning, Father Moon never wanted to be a minister or open a church, just as Jesus did not wish the same.  it was only through the many failures of the higher leadership to recognize that Jesus was Lord that Jesus had to savage lowly men who did not know to the deep extent the teaching Jesus was trying to portray in his time.  The same misery was afford to Father Moon who was rejected and persecuted by the Korean Christian leadership, so he had to go the hard way through making his foundation from scratch which the established leadership should have followed the Lord of the Second Advent.

The following may sound blasphemous to those who do not have the ears to hear or are awakened to the time they are living, but so was the same when Jesus was telling people that no one could enter heaven without going through him, to drink of his blood and that they should love him more than husband, wife and mother.   One should read the bold statements which Father Moon has declared himself rewritten in the third person for the purpose of this blog:

The purpose of the Unification Church is to succeed through this means to establish relationships of brotherhood which transcend nations. Through this means we want to realize the ideal of one great universal family centered on God and thus proclaim the ideal of True Parents. True spouses, and True brothers and sisters. In this way we will begin the world heart culture.

From earth to Heaven, we will be liberated to fulfill the world of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Since the end of the Second World War and during the past eighty years, Reverend Moon has been persecuted and criticized by the entire world. The time has come that you should know that such persecution was not because he committed any crime. Instead it was to save you. And unlike in the past people now think that I am the most admirable man.

By the hand of Reverend Moon, communism collapsed. It was Reverend Moon who awakened Mikhail Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung. To save the United States which is going towards a collapse, he established a foundation which leads Americans to feel that Reverend Moon is the hope. Also behind the difficult political context of North and South Korea, Reverend Moon is involved. The same is true for the Middle East.

You need to know that after 40 years, the Republican party triumphed in the United States, thanks to the influence of Reverend Moon. Perhaps you are unaware of these facts. But you should know that if any nation precedes the United States in receiving and absolutely embracing Reverend Moon, that nation will become the first nation in the world. Everything which Reverend Moon has said has been fulfilled.

The entire world did everything it could to put an end to Father Moon yet he did not die while laying the foundation, and he firmly stands on the top of the world.

Because Father Moon spoke to out loud these statements, it is because God loves him and is on his side. You need to know that if I survived, it is because God absolutely protected me. For that reason, I believe that you should seriously study about his teachings through the Divine Principle. You have met Father Moon this day of deep significance.

God asks that to follow the proper path, you make a determination based on this new awakening to bring God's blessing to your families and your nation. In that way, ideal families will begin to appear on this earth. As you probably know, Reverend Moon and his spouse are known throughout the world as the True Parents.

If it is true that as True Parents we are connected to God in True Love, True Life and True Lineage, I would like you to remember that beginning from a true family and from you a realm of liberation, liberty, unification and happiness will begin. It will allow the hope of peace to sprout upon the earth. Thank you very much.

Jesus Restores Adam's Mistake

The Mission of Jesus who Came as the True Father

 



When we hear about stories of Jesus through his birth, it is easy to see him as a non human, a sort of superhero that came to save the earth.    Realistically, he was born of a woman just as every single human was on earth.  The one factor that makes Jesus different is he is not part of the fallen blood lineage which connects us to the false parents Adam and Eve and change it to God's lineage.  When you look at the birth records in the bible, by looking at it from God's viewpoint of restoring man to his original position, you clearly see how He reversed the fallen blood lineage to create a sinless Jesus.  You will also see the significance of two brothers.  This is to restore the Cain and Abel relationship.

 

God wanted to reverse the mistake Adam and Eve had made through their children Cain and Abel.  Cain on Lucifer side as the first, and Abel on God's side.  When Cain murdered Abel, this ended God's immediate efforts.  You will see this case later in biblical history to restore this mistake of elder and younger brother.

 

 After the foundation of Noah, Abraham and Isaac there was Jacob.  Through the help of his mother, he was able to make his elder twin, Esau, yield of his own accord. Jacob took a decisive role in the establishment of the chosen people of Israel. Jacob's son, Judah, had twins Perez and Zerah through his daughter-in-law, Tamar.

Perez struggled with Zerah inside Tamar's womb and, pushed Zerah aside, who was supposed to be born first. Instead Perez was born first as the elder brother. The battle of the first and second born is the battle of good and evil. Thus, when the younger brother won over the elder brother while still in the womb and was born as the first son, this achieved restoration of Cain and Abel happened within the womb.

Jesus Christ, who came as the Messiah forty generations later, was born from the lineage of Perez, because of this restoration within the womb. Conceiving and giving birth to Jesus was an act of extraordinary devotion and risk in which Jesus' mother, Mary, put her life on the line.

Because God's providence of salvation is the providence of restoration, God had to carry out a providence to cut the blood lineage of sin. This sin has been transmitted from generation to generation because the ancestors, Adam and Eve, had an immoral sexual relationship away from god due to the temptation of Lucifer, the archangel, who became Satan.

This course from Cain and Abel until Jesus was born is the history of the chosen nation of Israel. Due to the fall, Adam fell to the position of a false father. Accordingly, following the course of restoration of the struggle to separate good and evil, Jesus came as the true father of humanity, that is, as the good second ancestor of humankind. Because of that, Jesus had to restore as his complement a true woman in the position of Eve, and they had to become a couple, have children and take dominion over creation.

This was the purpose for which Jesus came as the Messiah. Thus Jesus came as the Messiah to restore the three great blessings which God gave to Adam and Eve: be fruitful, multiply and have dominion over all the creation. However, Jesus, who came as their father and Messiah, was crucified by mankind. What an incredibly unfilial act!

What a horrendous sin! Jesus who died on the cross promised that he would come again to the earth, that he would come as a bridegroom, and that all people on the earth should prepare themselves as brides and be ready. In Revelation. Chapter 19, it is recorded that Jesus returns to the earth and holds the Marriage of the Lamb. This refers to the restoration of the position of the true couple and the True Parents reversing the false parents Adam and Eve's mistake.

The Messiah Reveals the Path of the
True Parents, the True Couple and True Children

How can we straighten out this society in which all kinds of sexual sin, immorality and corruption are destroying our families? It will bring a destruction like Sodom and Gomorrah's upon itself. The fire of judgment has already begun to fall. The frightening disease, AIDS, is a warning from heaven against the chaos of sexual immorality.

Jesus said he would come again in the Last Days of this evil world. The returning Jesus will come as True Father (reverse of false father Adam) of humankind. He will show the way of the True Children, the True Couple, and the way of the True Parents which all men and women must go. Only in this way can the problem of sexual corruption, the original sin, be fundamentally solved.

This will be the true gospel which will save humankind from the world of sin. The mission of the Messiah, the Savior, is to teach the way to end the tangled history of sin created when humanity lost the way of the True Parents, the True Couple and the True Children. It is proclaimed to the whole world  Dr. Reverend Sun Myung Moon, has devoted his entire life to pioneering this path of the Messiah, the True Parents.

The Divine Principle reveals the purpose of the creation of God, and through examining the original sin committed by the first ancestors he has pioneered the future of humanity despite the brutal opposition and persecution of this evil world.

According to the Divine Principle, each major religion is awaiting the return of its founder in some form: the Maitreya, the True Man, the new Confucius and the return of Jesus will be fulfilled by the return of one Messiah, the return of the True Parent of humankind. All religions will be united into one.

That Messiah, the True Parent who comes, will not be the same Jesus who died 2000 years ago with his flesh resurrected, as some Christians believe, nor will he come on the clouds in the air; rather, a new person who has inherited the mission of Jesus is to be born on the earth. The country in which that person is born in the East is the nation of Korea; however surprising it may be, the fact is that the Messiah, who is the True Parent of humankind, comes as a Korean.

Unification is the Key to World Peace

When will the Messiah who is coming in this way appear? According to the Divine Principle, the Last Days are the time when this evil world comes to an end, and the Messiah is to return. Briefly, the Last Days are from the end of the first World War to the year 2000 -- a period of about eighty years.

During this period the Lord of the Second Advent, who is the True Parent of humankind, is to be born in the land of Korea. This is the worldwide historical age of transition when the Lord of the Second Advent is building the ideal out of the world filled with sin, war and struggle. Therefore, this era is an age of great chaos with the confrontation and struggle between goodness and evil occurring in the mutual relationships of all parts of the world: the individual, family, tribe, race, nation and the world.

The Realization of World Peace Through the Power of Women

Women leaders! What I am telling you today is not only for the Unification Church members who are following Father Moon's teaching. Now leaders from every level of society, in more than 160 nations, and many thousands of young people, are following this teaching and shedding sweat to build a new unified world overflowing with freedom and peace. Already Korea is being looked to by many people from all over the world as the country to which the True Parents of humankind have come, and the number of foreigners who are visiting Korea to learn the Korean language, culture and manners is rapidly increasing.

The Women's Federation for World Peace has the fundamental remedy to save families which are threatened by the present day reality of the degeneration of sexual morality, the proliferation of drugs and all sorts of wantonness and sexual corruption.

This is a worldwide women's organization which was founded in Seoul Olympic Stadium with 150,000 Korean women, including representatives from 72 countries. We cannot wait any longer to save the society of tomorrow, which is rotting with all kinds of immorality and corruption, and the fallen social climate where men have oppressed women. Finally we must  endeavor to learn and practice the duty of the True Parents, the true spouse and the true child.

Through the organization of the Family Federation for World Peace, we must make sure that immorality and corruption will not be able to set foot anywhere in this world. In this way, humankind must cleanse the evil blood lineage and suffering which was caused by the original sin of fornication committed in the Garden of Eden, which has lasted until today, and quickly prepare to meet the new world.

Until now everyone has been helpless to stop the wantonness and immorality which has been destroying humankind. But now a new truth which can completely solve these problems has appeared in Korea in the very age in which we are living. The truth which was revealed by the True Parents will be the light which will bring about the unification of North and South Korea and build a world of peace and happiness.

Let us learn this new truth and rise up and become women soldiers who will end this world of sin, which has caused us to suffer since the beginning of history. Let us build a unified world overflowing with freedom, peace and happiness.

 This speech was given by Hak Ja Han Moon, Dr. Rev. Sun Myung Moon's wife based on the teachings of the Divine Principle which reveals the words of the Last Days.

Why Women Had to Fight Equality Throughout History

Many problems in the world can be traced back to the Garden of Eden.  Even in jest there are thousands of jokes that "the devil made me do it" or "all the problems in the world began with a woman."  Good jokes always have a little truth at its root somewhere hidden in it.

God does not sit idly by on His throne watching His children suffer on earth as He merely rules the earth with all mighty power.  Any ruler such as this that would place His own dominion and position over love would be a false god.

That false god would be the one who has perpetuated this lie in the first place, and has stood in God's place pretending to be Him.  This god would be the one Jesus said was the ruler of this earth and the true father of the people who disobeyed him.

 The fall was initiated by the archangel Lucifer, and followed by Eve, which has pained God's heart.  In order for God to return His children to the state before the Fall, the mistake has to be indemnified and reversed.  To indemnify is to pay back for a wrong done.

God told Adam and Eve if they chose His words, "do not eat" that they would receive the three great blessings, on the other hand, if they followed Lucifer's teachings "do eat for you will not die" they would receive curses. 

Since God's children chose Lucifer's words, they all received curses.  Lucifer was thrown down to earth, Adam would have to work to gather food after the ground was cursed, Eve was to have Adam (men) as her master for all her days, and childbirth was going to be painful. 

Even though it was the archangel who defied God and tricked Eve, who did God give the responsibility to follow the commandment? 

Herein lies where the pain of women began in all facets of life.  Our first ancestors endowed with God's spirit were given the responsibility to choose to follow God's word in order to become mature and share in God's authority over the earth and receive the three great blessings.       

Lucifer was a servant, and was angered that God loved His children more, on the other hand, he was never given the commandment.  Lucifer was only told to return to his position as a servant.  It was up to Adam and Eve to trust God's command, follow and become subject to Lucifer.

Eve instead followed Lucifer, and then tempted Adam to do the same by following her.  Eve chose curses, therefore as Eve's descendants, all women thereafter would inherit her fallen characteristics.

God introduced religion to break us free from these curses, but this was not to last forever, there will be a point in history when all people will no longer need a Messiah to connect directly to Him.  That will be the Last Days.

Does God plan to keep these curses over His children forever?  God never placed these curses on us, we chose them.  Ever since the fall, God has been working hard to bring us back toward blessings and on His path.  If you look throughout history at women's course you see that women have gone from being shunned, having men as their masters, to burning bras and demanding equality and getting it in these Last Days.  This did not happen with human power alone, this is the mighty works that God is behind the scenes to bring all facets of life destroyed in the garden back toward His ideal.

A woman is for sure to live for her husband, but the man is to live for the woman as well.  The man is to be subject over his household, but does not mean master.  A true household is where a husband lives for the wife and wife for the husband. This has to be restored.  Instead, in the Garden of Eden, Eve chose to live for her own desire and she reversed the roles and dominated Adam to follow her fallen ways.  The situation in marriages where women absolutely follow their husbands must change toward this direction of husband and wife living for the other's sake, thus they live for the family.

We can see such types of marriages in the 1800s.  Women's roles were suppressed yes and not ideal to modern women who rather stay single, but this is closer to God's ideal for the family than today's marriages of wife swapping, single motherhood and other alternative lifestyles.  Men only became the master to women after the fall. 

Women are the central point for the love, peace and spirit of service which protects our families. It is the healthy family that must be the starting point in our work to build world peace. The establishment of God-centered family ethics and the education of our children lie at the innermost core of the Divine Principle teachings that is expressed on this blog. The family is the holy sanctuary that must cleanse this defiled world.

We must establish not only a true concept of manhood, but also the true concept of what it means to be a mother, a wife and a daughter, in the context of a new society, nation and world. People must become forerunners in inheriting the tradition of the True Parents and harvesting the victory. Adam and Eve were to follow God's direction and become True Parents. 

Women have the mission to give proper guidance to men who lead lives of moral decadence and disorder so that the tragedy of the destruction of Adam and Eve may be resolved within the context of history.

In the age of women that is now dawning, women must embrace their husbands and properly educate their children so that they may be a model movement for practicing true love throughout the world.  Women must gain the active cooperation of husbands and children.  This women's movement is not for women alone. First, a movement of true love for husbands and children must bear fruit in ideal families.

The ideal families formed in this manner will come together to form ideal nations and an ideal world.  For the sake of world peace, women must take the lead in government, finance, culture and society. The basic values women should uphold in this federation of women are found in Headwing, no longer the left or the right wing, philosophy can bring world peace,  but Godism.

These values are what unite left and right, and overcome atheistic materialism. They are certain to be the guiding ideas of the world of the 21st century. As women, remember our forbearers, Rebecca, Tamar and Mary, who fulfilled major responsibilities in the history of God's salvation process to bring forth the lineage of Jesus. Let us inherit the strength of will by which these historic women overcame life threatening dangers and difficulties to fulfill their missions.

Let us establish our families as homes for true parents, true husbands and wives and true children, so that we may join in the holy cause of changing this world of evil into a heavenly world. Let us march forward toward a world of peace centered on the True Parents, who are the center of true love.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: Defense From Satan


Today's topic was derived from the Textbook for World Peace, Chapter 2, "The Way to World Peace" given by the wife of Dr. Rev. Sun Myung Moon.  Father Moon had researched the bible for 9 years intensively before sharing The Divine Principle with the world.

The Fall of Humans Isn't a Literal Fruit

Here are three clues to what God was telling Adam and Eve to not partake in or else they would die. 

1. Adam and Eve were naked and unafraid to be naked until they 'ate of the fruit'.   I thought you cover your transgressions, why cover your private parts for the first time after eating fruit?  2. God told Adam and Eve that they would die.  Is God a liar?  God does not lie, Adam and Eve did die ... spiritual death happens when we are separated from God.  Let the dead bury the dead.  This is just the start to let us stop telling satan's lie about the fruit being just an edible fruit.

 

The third one, satan throws right in front of our faces everyday because he is so confident that you and I are so blind to the truth.  Just look up Adam and Eve on the Internet and you will be inundated with so much adult material and even adult stores named after the pair.  Right in our face, Satan not only uses our bodies as his playground but flat out dances in front of our faces how he was able to do it.

How many argue that the reason why all of humanity fell below the level of humans and angels was all because of a simple fruit?  Mostly all.  How many are willing to accept that the fruit was not literal and it stands for something else and this something else is being perpetuated in our society keeping us under the dominion of Satan.  Only a few.

Is free sex in America and throughout the world the expression of God’s philosophy of the Kingdom or the devil’s philosophy of hell? It is the philosophy of hell run rampant, creating hell both on earth and in heaven. Everyone who follows this trend is doomed

Why do we stick tenaciously to false facts when we see that our religious practices is no closer to saving our lost brothers and sisters?  We have to dig deeper.  Christianity is one religion that has changed since its founding.  The New Testament did not exist during the Old Testament just as the Completed Testament in our time was unheard of during Jesus' time.  Unfortunately, this is slightly true.  Jesus knew more, wanted to share more but the people of his time were unwilling to change and he was limited to the New Testament.  This is why he comes again in our time to deliver the break news.  Do we hear him?

World Peace: Solve Problem in Garden of Eden First

In order to begin the mission of bringing world peace, we first must tackle where humanity all went wrong.  It is a secret that has been hidden and even if anyone fell upon it, would not even begin to know how to uncover a way to restore humanity.  Jesus knew. 

But he was met with so much opposition that people didn't even let him begin "how can I tell you about things of heaven if you don't accept the earthly things." Jesus had so much in his heart that he knew and wanted to teach humanity, but the people of his time could not understand or would not listen.  These secrets never left the earth. 

As Revelations tells, these secrets would be uncovered in the Last Days and God's people would be told plainly of the Father.  That is today.  Still, people refuse to listen and accept the truth.  It is a hard truth and reality. 

To accept, would mean we as humans would have to deny the way we have been taught all our lives and would have to reject our very environment because it is against Godly mandate. 

This is also the situation of the Israelites when Jesus told them to pick up their cross and follow them and to love him more than their own father and mother.  That never went away.  In order to even begin to talk about world peace, the leaders of that foundation, have to have this small requirement as that base.

Another reason we haven't seen peace through religion, because what is required of one individual would be the same as cutting off the very life in which we breathe.  The requirements to follow God go beyond any religion that is set forth on earth at this moment. 

To follow the standard that God needs to go back to His original plan of creation would mean one would have to surpass the standard of the sages and saints and religious leaders who have passed before.  It would take sacrifice and the heart to live for others.  It would take a 180 degree turn from the direction we are headed.  Satan has hidden the truth of the fall so we as humans could continue making this mistake and we can stay connected to him through our mistakes.  Without knowing the facts of the Fall, you and I and our children are doomed to repeat these mistakes that take us further away from God when we are tempted by them.


Hidden Truth Revealed

What is the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil that God told the original ancestors, Adam and Eve, not to eat? It is not the real fruit of a tree. It is a way of expressing the husband and wife love relationship that the first ancestors were to have in the future. Due to the temptation of a third being, while still in an imperfect state, the first man and woman entered into an immoral sexual relationship. Actually, in the Garden of Eden, the third party besides Adam and Eve was the archangel. In the Bible it is revealed that Lucifer was the archangel who tempted Eve and committed an immoral sexual sin. This was the fall of man, the original sin which planted the root of sin in the world.
 Man committed the sexual sin before his Father God, the Lord and Master of heaven and earth, and the first ancestors had children out of this immoral love; and the world of evil was realized. In other words, they married centered on Satan and by planting false love, false life and a false lineage they became ancestors of evil. As human society expanded from the individual, family, tribe, race, and nation to the world level, due to this immoral relationship between man and woman, the root of the evil blood lineage was established everywhere, at all times, and this world became hell on earth: it became a false world filled with sin, war and fear. The fallen ancestors, Adam and Eve, should have established the position of True Parents as the eternal good ancestors of humanity, but they fell to become false parents leaving a blood lineage of evil. This is the first cause of all the tragedy and misery of humankind. What could be more tragic or cause greater indignation than becoming the descendants of false parents and all humankind losing their True Parents? And how great must be the suffering and sorrow of God, the Father of humanity, whose purpose of creation, to establish the true ancestors of humankind and to multiply people of goodness, was stolen by the blood lineage of sin through the immoral fall of the first human ancestors.

The requirement is controversial, if not impossible by today's standard.  It requires Absolute Sex.  A standard of no sex before marriage and only with ones spouse within the marriage.

How is it that impure ungodly sex brought down a civilization?  Easy to see when you look on the individual level.  How many religious men and politicians have lost everything when they have an affair or have sex with prostitutes? Multiply this by family and nation and world and it is just a simple glimpse of how illicit sex outside of God's dominon has corrupted the earth.


What Did the Fruit Symbolize?

Satan skates all over our society by keeping this hidden.  Even Christians who know that we should abstain from explicit relationships, we can fall for the same thing Adam and Eve fell for.

You and I at one time have fallen for the tricks of Satan.  Those who say they do not sin are said in the bible to be liars.  I am a sinner.  I have fallen for the traps that satan has laid out for each and every person living on this earth.  Now teens are inundated with images that free sex is fine, experimentation is celebrated and chastity is scorned. 

First Eve fell for this trap, then Adam, and then their descendants thereafter which leads to you, me and our children.  How tragic a situation.

So, what is the fruit?

I used to believe that the fruit was such a delicious fruit found nowhere else.  But we know that God wouldn't plant something that could cause his children death and test them by telling them to stay away from it.  Same for Adam and Eve. I know this now as I have matured.  Why create a fruit that His children could never delight - ever?  God created this "fruit" for His children to enjoy once they were mature.  That makes more sense than a god who testing His children for their loyalty to Him. 

Our first ancestors were teenagers.  God gave them a commandment.  They were naked and unashamed before the fall, and the first thing they covered after the fall was their body parts.  Children caught in a cookie jar cover their mouths, not their lower parts.  Why have we ardently stuck to hiding this truth allowing Satan to cover up what he perpetuated in the Garden? 

Simple.  This is the easiest way to keep us from God is to keep the deeper truth hidden.  To keep the faithful feeling everything is okay if they just read the bible and save a few homeless people and keep their faith.

There is a way to restore the world.  Arm ourselves with the truth the Second Coming has armed us with and spread the truth, as the disciples did after Jesus' death.

What was the forbidden fruit? What sort of fruit could cause countless generations of humanity to groan in misery? Why would God create a fruit that could cause misery, destruction and war? The Divine Principle's Teaching teaching is logical: the fruit is a symbol for love. So many evils spring from love. From love can spring either good or evil fruit, therefore it is called “the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.

B,ut we started from a family where love never matured and we had fallen immoral relations outside of God's ideal marriage and have perpetuated this since the beginning of the first family.

Adam and Eve had been living in joy in the Garden of Eden and conversing with God. The only possible sin that they would be tempted to commit at the risk of their lives was a sin involving

love which is more powerful than any law.

The consummation of human ancestors’ first love was also to be God’s own completion.

Therefore, it naturally should have been the moment of joy and jubilation for God, Adam and Eve, and all creation. They were to have rejoiced together in continuous festivities of love and blessing.  On that joyous occasion, God’s love, life and lineage was to be firmly settled in the first human ancestors.

Accordingly, from the viewpoint of God’s purpose of creation, love should be the most precious and sacred act. But because the sexual act was the very cause of the Fall, people often regard it with shame and even contempt. In conclusion, human beings fell through an act of illicit sexual intercourse.

 

The more one receives love, the more beautiful one appears to others. When the angel, created as God’s servant, beheld Eve, the daughter of God, it was only natural that she looked beautiful in his eyes. Moreover, when Lucifer saw that Eve was responding to his temptation, the angel felt the stimulation of her love to be deliciously enticing. At this point, Lucifer was seducing Eve with the mind to have her, regardless of the consequences.

Lucifer, who left his proper position due to his excessive desire, and Eve, who wanted to open her eyes and become like God before the time was ripe, formed a common base and began give and take action. The power of the unprincipled love generated by their give and take led them to consummate an illicit sexual relationship on the spiritual plane.

All beings are created based on the principle that when they become one in love, they exchange elements with each other. Accordingly, when Eve became one with Lucifer through love, she received certain elements from him. First, she received feelings of dread arising from the pangs of  guilty conscience, stemming from her violation of the purpose of creation. Second, she received from Lucifer the wisdom which enabled her to discern that her originally intended spouse was to be Adam, not the angel.

 

The power of the unprincipled love generated in their relationship induced Adam to abandon his original position and brought them together in an illicit physical relationship of sexual love.
 

Once Eve had united with the Archangel through their illicit sexual relationship, she stood in the position of the Archangel with respect to Adam. Thus, Adam, who was still receiving God’s love, appeared very attractive to her. Seeing Adam as her only hope of returning to God, Eve turned to Adam and tempted him, playing the same role as the Archangel had played when he had tempted her. Adam responded and formed a common base with Eve, and they began give and take action.

When Adam united in oneness with Eve, he inherited all the elements Eve had received from the Archangel. These elements in turn have been passed down to all subsequent generations without interruption… and humanity has multiplied in sin to the present day, perpetuating the lineage of Satan.

Love is supposed to bring human beings to perfection. However, when something goes wrong with love, even God steps back. Then it becomes a serious problem. In this respect, we discover that something went wrong with love. Nothing else could become such a serious problem for God, for humankind and for history. The failure of love was the greatest catastrophe in the whole universe.

How do we turn this sad history around?


The Fall Caused Chaos to This Day

Up to the moment when God joined Adam and Eve, they were not prepared to experience the electricity of love. They would have felt clumsy around each other; their physical touch would have come as a shock. But once their minds and bodies would be totally united in God’s love, once the three—God, Adam and Eve—would be united as one, they would have experienced love like a flash of lightning. At that moment, they would have become the nucleus of the universe. They would have orbited about each other in love, formin the nucleus for governing all things by love.

Had Adam and Eve become the nucleus, God would have nestled them in His bosom. He would have been with them always. Even if His body tried to leave, His feet would have stayed with them.

The couple would have been inseparable, ever embracing each other. Their sons and daughters would have been connected to them by cords of love, and wherever they went they would come together to be established from that nucleus.

As descendants of a man and woman in complete oneness, they too would have embraced one another in true love as they built their own families, tribes, peoples, nations and world. What wonderful world it would be! Everything would be marvelous. It would be the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Don’t you think so?
 

Am I a dreamer, or do I speak truth? My elucidation of the Human Fall as the reason for the corruption of love is logical and correct, based upon a proper assessment of history. Knowing it, we can resolve all human problems. Even so, it is not an easy task.
Because the nucleus of love was not established, and instead the Fall occurred, the whole world became contrary to God’s ideal, its unity shattered into pieces. Stemming from that initial disorder, all human beings became separated from one another. We cannot deny that the world today is beset by divisions. That is to say, we are all fallen. It is only appropriate to conclude that we are living in the world that resulted from the Fall.

Restoring Fallen Men

Religion holds adultery to be the cardinal sin. Is free sex in America and throughout the world the expression of God’s philosophy of the Kingdom or the devil’s philosophy of hell? It is the philosophy of hell run rampant, creating hell both on earth and in heaven. Everyone who follows this trend is doomed.

How can God’s love be linked to this world? True love coming down from above brings unity by the most direct and shortest path, making a 90-degree angle. Once that direct connection is made with the vertical God, the love of human beings can correspond to it—true love traveling by the most direct and shortest path. Induced by that vertical love, a man and a woman move on the horizontal plane toward the vertical line, creating a right angle: this is love’s final destination. What was the Human Fall? It bent this right angle.
 

Sexual promiscuity is a principal cause of the downfall of numerous heroes, patriots and nations.

ven in the most outstanding people, the root of sin—illicit sexual desire—is constantly active within their souls, sometimes without their conscious awareness.

We  may be able to eradicate all other evils by establishing moral codes through religion, by thoroughly implementing various educational programs, and by reforming the socio-economic systems that foster crime. But no one can prevent the plague of sexual promiscuity, which has become increasingly prevalent as the progress of civilization makes lifestyles more comfortable and indolent.

Therefore, the hope of an ideal world is an empty dream as long as this root of all evils has not been eradicated at its source. Christ at his Second Advent must be able to solve this problem once and for all.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: Why Woman Had to Fight Equality Throughout History


Today's text was taken from World Scripture Volume II, "Evil, Sin and the Human Fall"

How Was Jesus Physically Born Pure?

We live in a diseased world whose destruction is inevitable. Every day we hear the ugly sounds of its final death rattle.

We can trace the origin of this disease to the original human ancestors, who lost their position in paradise. Our original ancestors contracted a serious disease. In religious terms, this event is referred to as the human fall. Thus history began in a diseased state.

This disease and Satan have been the focus of human history. The tragedy of human history was that it originated with Satan, the lord of evil, who stood in the central position to God's ideal of creation. The marriage of Adam and Eve, resulted in the children of evil. Inevitably, humankind inherited Satan's love, Satan's life and Satan's lineage.

The human reproductive organs, by which husband and wife are intended to join together in virtue, were originally intended to be temples of true love, true life and the true lineage. Love should be an experience in which a husband and wife join in a virtuous union to procreate children who will carry on the lineage. The center of life is love, and the human lineage is transmitted by means of the love and life of a husband and wife.

The linkage of love, life and lineage is what gives history its continuity. After the fall, the human race has been held captive by satanic love, satanic life and a satanic lineage. Adam and Eve were in their youth when they sowed the seeds of false love, false life and the false lineage.

Thus, when the Last Days come, we can expect the increase of moral decadence among young people to arise as a global phenomenon. In fact, we live in such a time now. Satan used fallen love as a condition to create a den of sin in which an eternal blow could be struck against God's ideal of true love.

The relaxation of standards concerning sexual behavior, the increasing moral decadence of young people, the plague of drug addiction, and the decline of family structure and traditional values has turned this world into an earthly hell.

Thus, it has become impossible to find a true man, true woman, true brothers and sisters, a true husband and wife or true parents anywhere. Until now, there could be no hope of creating a true society, true nation or true world.

God's Providential History of Restoration

To understand the history of Jesus's birth, we must first discuss the reason why Jesus came as the Messiah.  He came to reverse the mistake of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

In the record of the Old Testament, history was a course of indemnification, eye for eye, tooth for tooth and life for life. The responsibility of the fall passed from Eve to Adam, with Satan at the center. As seen from the standpoint of Eve after she had received the seed of false life, the fall occurred when Satan took over God's position.

In the course of the fall, Eve placed the archangel in the position of her father and god and Adam in the position of her son. Consequently, women, who in the course of the history of restoration through indemnity have come to stand in the position of Eve, have had to risk their lives, if necessary, in order to assure that God's will is passed on to the next generation.

When we study the historical record in the Bible, we come across a number of events that seem to defy explanation. God's original intention in His creation was that Eve would become one with God, her Father, and with God's son, Adam.

As a result of the fall, however, she became one with Satan and Adam, the false son when he fell away from God's word. Immediately after the fall, God began working through the family of Adam in order to undo what had been done, that is, to accomplish restoration through indemnity by the reverse course.

He worked with Adam's family, because even the fall had not deprived the members of this family of the element of eternity with which they had been endowed at their creation. Cain, the first fruit of the love by which Satan took Eve, was conceded to the side of Satan, and Abel, who was born as the second fruit of the love with her husband Adam, was placed on the side of heaven.

This was the beginning of the history of the struggle between good and evil aimed at fundamental restoration through indemnity. It was necessary in history that the second son be blessed so that the second son realm of heaven could restore and claim the birthright of the first son held by Satan.

 For example, Cain and Abel made offerings to God simultaneously, but God received only the offering of Abel, the second son, while refusing the offering of Cain. The reason for this was that the second son on heaven's side should restore the birthright from the first son. Had Cain made his offering through Abel, an orderly path could have been established from God to Adam and to the archangel, and restoration could have been accomplished.

Because Cain killed Abel, however, heaven established Seth and extended the providence to his descendants. Cain and Abel were brothers who had been born into this world. Because of their failure to accomplish God's will in their position outside their mother's womb, God's next dispensation had to be carried out within the maternal womb.

Thus, when Rebecca asked God why it was that Esau and Jacob fought within her womb, God said to her: "Two nations are in your womb, . . . the older shall serve the younger." (Genesis 25:23) From that time, Rebecca came to take greater care of the second son, Jacob. Jacob, as the second son, had to restore through indemnity the birthright of his brother Esau. For this to be successful, Rebecca needed to fulfill her responsibility in the position of Eve.

The blow struck at the firstborn of Egypt during the course of the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt and Jacob's switching of his hands over Joseph's sons Manasseh and Ephraim at the time of their blessing (Genesis 48) all contained the hidden will of heaven to bring about a reversal of the realms of first and second born which Cain failed to fulfill.

God's Providence to Send the Messiah

Throughout the bible, women are hardly mentioned, except on the accounts of several women in Jesus's direct lineage who did seemingly unexplainable missions.  Even through they were on God's side, time after time they had decieved both husbands and sons in their acts.

Just as with Noah, when God gives a command to his faithful, he does it opposite of the way of the world.  His missions may seem odd and different to those who don't see it from God's point of view.

In her fall, Eve deceived God, her Father, and Adam, who was in the position of her son. To restore this, Rebecca stood on the side of heaven and deceived the father Isaac and her son Esau so that Jacob could receive Isaac's blessing.

Jacob purchased the birthright of the firstborn, and initiated the lineage of the Israelites on the foundation of a victory won through the cooperation of a mother and her son. He conditionally claimed the first-son realm and the second- son realm for the side of heaven, and established the foundation of victory for the Israelite nation that was to descend from him.

Jacob, however, was more than forty years old at the time when he took full control over the birthright of the firstborn. Thus, the realm of the human age prior to forty was still left without the condition of having won victory over Satan.

Once again, therefore, a dispensation was carried out for the purpose of gaining victory in the womb. Tamar, the daughter-in-law of Judah, had in her womb the twin sons Zerah and Perez. Although Perez was the younger, he pushed his brother Zerah aside in order to be born first. In fact, the name "Perez" is derived from this event. (Genesis 38) At the beginning of history, the lineage of Satan was planted in the maternal womb. With Tamar, the womb was restored to the side of God. 

This is how Jesus was born pure beginning with this purification in the his lineage starting in the womb.

The side of heaven took control over the first-son realm and the second-son realm so that God's original lineage could be established. It was in this way that the tribe of Judah came to form the foundation on which the Messiah would later be born.  As a woman, Tamar placed herself in the position of having deceived father and son; she denied her father-in-law and his sons, in order to separate the position of Eve from Satan.

As a result of Tamar's separation of the womb from Satan, a basic tradition was established whereby God's children could be conceived and given birth without Satan's invasion.  It was then up to the Israelites and Judaism to carry on this standard of victory in the womb until such time that the Messiah could be sent as the True Adam.  Adam was to take Eve as his true wife and they were to become True Parents to humankind.  The Messiah was to restore this in his time True Parent.

Because Satan had already been able to establish his nations in the world, the sending of the Messiah had to wait until such time that the Israelites could establish a national base sufficient for indemnifying the other nations of the world. God waited nearly 2, 000 years until there was a sufficient national foundation, and a woman who could stand in the position of Eve, for Him to carry out His providence. This finally took place through Mary, the mother of Jesus.

When Adam and Eve committed the fall, they were already engaged to be married at a later date. In the same way, Mary and Joseph were betrothed to each other centered on God. As with Rebecca and Tamar, Mary was a revolutionary woman called by God to take part in the process of recreating Adam. Mary risked her life to form an absolute unity with God, and placed herself in the position of having deceived father and son in order to accomplish the history of restoration through indemnity.

It was in this manner that Jesus was conceived. During the time that Jesus was in Mary's womb, Satan could make no invasion in terms of his lineage. Jesus was born of the womb of a victorious woman as the first fruit of the first love who could be claimed only by God. It was the first time in history that a child was born as God's only begotten son. Even among the saints, there exists no one else whose birth followed such a process for making a separation from the satanic lineage.

Thus, we refer to Jesus as a saint among saints. This was the reason that the Christian cultural sphere was able to spread throughout the world. Finally, in our century, God has worked to use the victory of the Second World War and the Christian cultural sphere to accomplish the unification of the world.

Mankind Must Engraft Onto God and True Parents

In order for God's mission to succeed in returning the world to His side, we  must understand that Satan exists and that he has brought about this horrible reality we face today.

With this knowledge, we can find the cause of the disease and uncover the origin of the human fall. We must reveal to the world that Satan, Adam and Eve formed a trinity of evil, and that it is up to us to restore the trinity of God, Adam and Eve that is in accordance with the ideal of creation.

For this issue to be resolved, someone must testify to the fact that Satan committed sin, and clearly explain the fundamental truths concerning the sin committed by the original human ancestors. God and Satan have always known the details about the fall.

There were many things that Adam did not understand, however, because he was still young at the time. In the Last Days, the restored and completed Adam will come and make all this information known. He will reveal the sins committed by Satan throughout the course of history.

As the Messiah returns in our time, it is possible to expel Satan from this world. For the first time, humankind will be able to make a fundamental change in direction toward a world of hope, peace, happiness and freedom. In order for humankind to make a total break from the false love, false life and false lineage that derive from Satan as their parent, it is necessary that we be grafted onto the true olive tree.

That is, all people need to be grafted onto God and True Parents (The Messiah as True Man and his True Wife become restored Adam and Eve) in order to recover true love, true life and the true lineage. This will make it possible for us to build heaven on earth as well as in the spiritual world. This, in fact, is the final purpose of God's providence of salvation, restoration and recreation. Thus, the reappearance of the True Parents is an event of the greatest historic importance.

The True Parents represent the conclusion and final fruit of human history. The True Parents embody the completed form of human cultural history. They signify the victory of religion and philosophy within history. Prior to the emergence of True Parents, however, there must be a period of restoration through indemnity, that is, a period of recreation.
