Will Jesus Return in the Flesh?

In light of those things, do you think the Messiah should come in the flesh or just in spirit?





In the ideal world we are going to build, we will be liberated from sin both on the physical and spiritual levels, under the actual guidance of God as our parent.



The Lord must come again in the flesh to accomplish his mission of saving the physical world.

The fall began by one physical man and woman on earth and can only be rectified through man on earth.

If he comes on the clouds of Heaven, spiritually, he cannot accomplish his mission of restoring the whole world both on the spiritual and physical levels. The problem is the sin and corruption of this world, and not of heaven.



 Q. How will the Lord come at the Second Advent?

We can see through the parallels of history repeating itself that Christianity is in the same position as the elders, scribes and priests at the time of Jesus.

At that time, the people were waiting for the return of Elijah in the sky.

Why did they hold onto this kind of belief?

They were simply following the Bible prophecy written down in Daniel 7:13:

"I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him."


Because of the great prophet Daniel, the people of Israel had every reason to expect the arrival of the Messiah to return on clouds of heaven. Christians are expecting the arrival of the Lord in the same way today, in a majestic show on the clouds.

Many people were denying Jesus as this Messiah because he was in the flesh - to them an ordinary man.

John condemened these people as the anti-christ in II John 7 "...many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the decevier and the anti-christ."

How, then will Jesus in our day and age if Elijah returned through the works of Jesus?  Still today the Jewish people wait for such an arrival and deem this second coming as the first coming of Elijah.

Unless we know the whole truth, we like the people of Jesus' time may fall victim of the words of the Bible by taking them in the literal sense.

In Jesus' time, the people were waiting for the return of Elijah upon the clouds and could not accept Jesus as the Son of God.  They would say that he had a mother and father, Joseph and Mary, how could he be the Son of God?

The disciples and the faithful of Israel argued this point all of the time.

Those who believed in the letter of the Old Testament and not the spirit would miss the Messiah.


Q: Then how will the Lord appear in the last days?

Believe it or not, we are in the exact same parallel to that of the time of Jesus Christ.  If we become slaves to the letter of the New Testament, we will commit the same crime that the elders, scribes and Pharisees committed 2,000 years ago.

What would you do if the Lord did return in the flesh?  If one told you that the Son of Man already returned with flesh and bones?  You would say I was a heretic.

It does not matter how one looks at the world, a man's views, or what one thinks, what matters is how God looks at the world.

The Bible states two prophecies: arrival of the Lord on the clouds and another that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

What do you do with these two prophecies?


If the Lord comes on the clouds, then he surely can't appear like a thief  unseen in the world.  There would be a lot of attention around his arrival on the clouds and could not be hidden from anyone's eyes.




When you see the signs of the Last Days, the Bible urges you to go into a dark room and pray. Who can tell you the time of the Last Days?

The angels do not know that day. Jesus said not even the Son of man knew when that day would arrive. Only God knows the time of the Last Days.

"That is why we have our answer from God. I am not saying you must believe me. I am just revealing what I know to be the truth, but you must verify this truth with God."

Christians simply believe in the words of the Bible and that Jesus will return on the clouds and only true Christians will be lifted in the air.


That is horrendous, empty, hollow. Religion is not out there, up in the stratosphere.

I am testifying that the Lord cannot appear in that kind of supernatural fashion. Jesus Christ could not return that way because the work of God is to be done here on earth.

The mission of the Messiah is a physical, realistic one. As a man he must come up from the bottom of human misery just as Jesus had done.



He must come to the most miserable nation and lift the human status from the slave position, to the servant position, to the adopted child position and to the direct child position by physically putting together the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. That is the mission of the Messiah.

Do not rely on anyone's answer.

In the Last Days, the Bible says, do not just believe anybody. Do not believe me, and do not believe someone just because of his or her official status in church or society.

Famous leaders will not necessarily give you the guidance God would want for you. Heaven is so near, and you can be lifted up by the spirit so high, that you can speak with God and receive the answer directly from Him if you are earnest enough.

 Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (Matt. 11:15) And he said to his disciples, "But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear." (Matt. 13:16) He was not referring to physical sense organs.

When you use your spiritual senses and listen for the Word of God, you will find His direction and guidance. But it is not easy to become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.

It is very difficult for a foreigner to go through the process to become a citizen of the United States.

How much more difficult it is to remove ourselves from our corrupt life and transfer ourselves into the Kingdom of Heaven. But we can achieve this very thing.

We know that even after Adam and Eve fell in the garden of Eden, they still were able to communicate directly with God.
The only way we might miss that day is if we look for the Lord to come from one direction, and he appears from another direction in an entirely unexpected manner, just as Elijah did at the time of Jesus.

This is the reason you may not see the Lord at the time of his second coming.

Another mysterious prediction was given by Jesus Christ himself He declared about the Lord at the second coming: "But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation." (Luke 17:25) If Christ at his Second Coming appears in the glory of the clouds of heaven, who would deny him?

Nobody would cause him suffering and pain. The only way this prophecy can be fulfilled is if people expect his return from the clouds and he suddenly appears as a humble man in the flesh.

Do you think that Christian leaders of today would make the same mistake that the priests and scribes and elders committed at the time of Jesus? Yes! They may very well deny him and reject him, because the manner of his coming would be very difficult for Christian leaders to accept. However, in this way the Bible will be fulfilled. He will first suffer and be rejected by this generation.

Jesus once asked a most important question: "When the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8)

Although we do have faith today, it may be mistaken faith based on a belief which expects the Lord must come on the clouds of heaven.

There are few men or women on earth with the kind of faith ready to accept the Son of Man appearing in the flesh.

If this were not the situation, the Bible prophecy we are discussing here would not be fulfilled. Please note that Jesus did not say there would be no believers, but he said there would be no FAITH.

Jesus also said: "Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them. 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.' " (Matt. 7:21-23)
This prophecy cannot be realized if his second coming is on the clouds of heaven.

At the time of the second advent, people again will be crying out, "Lord, Lord." At the same time they may be in the process of trying to crucify the Messiah if he appears in a manner different from their expectations. They will then be the worst evildoers.

This is the Bible. Those who truly have eyes will see Those who truly have ears will hear. Throughout history God has sent His prophets before the time of fulfillment. He warns the people of His plan. No matter how devout Christian faith is today, no matter how many millions of people are in the Christian churches, they and their churches and their world will decline once they fail to accept the Lord, however he may appear.

This was the tragic fate of Israel and the Roman Empire when they denied Jesus Christ, regardless of their righteousness otherwise.

We must therefore also be open to a new message. Jesus Christ did not come to repeat the Mosaic Law.

Just as Jesus revealed himself with the new expression of truth, the Lord at the second advent will reveal himself with God's truth for our time.

That truth will not be simply a repetition of the New Testament.

I hope that you consider these ideas seriously, and pray to God. He will answer you.

We Should Attend the Lord of Second Advent

Everyday we wake up, we may already be burdened by things of the past or debts we have to face even before we brush our teeth.  But we must remember, that we are not living in the original world in which God planned for us to live.

God's ideal was for us to live our lives completely for Him.

In God's original world of love, we would live and die surrounded by love.  Thankfully, God never abandoned humanity at the point where humanity separated from God, but has dedicated all His knowledge and energy into restoring man to their original position before the fall.

All our activities would be in reverence to bring joy to God.  Therefore, we are all destined to live in attendance to God.

Therefore, how great would it be to attend God and receive His joy and love that we exclaim, "I want to live for thousands of years!"

A verse in a Korean poem reads:

"Moon, Oh moon, you bright moon, moon
loved by the poet Lee Tae-baek!
Oh moon, on you grow a laurel tree.
I want to chop it down with a jade axe and
trim the branches with a gold axe
to build a thatched cottage to bring my parents to..."

These words sound nice, but we must think, where are the Parents in this scene?  Isn't this like the current situation of the world - just brothers and sisters without parents on the worldwide level?

If these parents base everything on their own desire, they will completely disappear.

We need Parents who can reveal the straight path to create Heaven on earth and plant the tradition for future generations to follow.

This was Adam and Eve's task, but they fell away from laying a tradition to lead toward heaven.  Therefore, parents have only laid a foundation to continue the path toward hell on earth.


My life's purpose, until I die, is creating the way for the world that is like that folk song.   Religious leaders prostrate themselves and pray in an effort to receive blessings, but I have never prayed to receive any blessing. 

When we look at the Testaments in the book, we can see how God worked through the saints of history in order to lay a foundation for future generations to prepare for the coming of True Parents who reverse the fallen mistake of the first human parents.

The Old Testament Age was the age of finding God's people through the sacrifice of material; the New Testament Age was the age of sacrificing the sons and daughters such as in the Roman times through countless religious people shedding blood;  the Completed Testament Age is the age of liberating God by sacrificing the Parents' (the Messiah and True Wife) own family.

This was the foundation for the True Parents to be born to the earth where we would live with them for thousands of years.

The Last Days is the time we receive the True Parents who will lay a straight pathway for heaven on earth.  The Lord of the Second Advent, the Messiah, returns to take a bride, known as the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and become True Parents of humankind reversing the acts of the fall of the first parents, Adam and Eve.

The poem above is about the moon and the laurel tree singing of bringing parents and living with them for tens of thousands of years.

If you look closely, the tale has a revelation within it: "..wanting to bring the heavenly parents to earth and live with them for tens of thousands of years..."

Whenever I think about this song, I cannot escape the intense longing in my heart. Don't ever feel bad about having been born as a Korean. In the past, you might have felt pity for yourself for having been born Korean, saying "How is it that I was born in a thatched-roof among these poor Korean people, although Korea boasts of its five-thousand-year history?" 

Father does not feel happy when he hears the song that sings of building a thatched cottage. 

The Korean song that goes "Moon, Oh moon, you bright moon" sings of building a thatched cottage and living there for thousands of years.

How can we bring True Parents to a home with only a thatched roof?  This song connects with the Christian belief of the Second Coming and with the belief in a savior to come that is present among all people and nations.

The son about the moon, tells us about attending the parents.  Which parents?  Your neighbors' parents, your own parents?

This is about attending the parents and the grandparents on both the father's and the mother's side.

This song sing praises of the people's long cherished desires.  This is why we even have a concept of True Parents.  True love that can bring us to live together for thousands of years comes from and is taught by the True Parents.

We have a desire to live with both sets of parents. 

Parents symbolize masculinity and femininity with God as the highest authority.

The authority of their sons and daughter should be at least as high as their shadow.  You should not seek to join the movement and keep your old habits and greed which you acquired in the satanic world.

Our church is different from the established churches. It is a place where we wage a battle of life and death, building an altar of love and prepare the arrows of love. We do not go to the Heavenly Kingdom to be judged by God above. 

God is here with us and judges our lives every day.

By attending God with the Messiah, we are able to share in God's pain and in His joy in our daily lives.

Because we attend the True Parents with such a heart, we have not come to ruin through this age of tribulation.  We received many blessings and protection in these Last Days of turmoil.

Can God die?

No, God is alive.

Today, having achieved global victory, I have returned to this nation. Our nation is divided and I must reunite it. While we build a unified nation of North and South Korea, you must also establish your own nation, people, tribe and family. It is simple now for Unification Church members, because your Parents have completed the entire indemnity mission.

Once you are able to know the real God and True Parents, then everything will be finished. You can become true husband and wife, and real, true sons and daughters by attending and connect to the True Parents' true lineage like a wild olive tree engrafting to a pure tree.

You must be able to love them.  Once you have loved them and liberate your brothers sisters, the twelve apostles, and 120 disciples on the satanic side, then you can love your owns sons and daughters, and bring them to live with you forever. 

"Moon, Oh Moon, you bright Moon, Moon loved by the poet Lee Tae-baek!
Oh Moon, on you grows a laurel tree.
I want to chop it down with a jade axe and trim the branches
with a gold axe to build a thatched cottage.  I want to bring my parents
and live with them there for thousands of years"

The Korean people can receive this song as the chosen people.

This song is a prayer that sings praise for eternity.  The meaning behind it is about attending one's parents for thousands of years in a thatched house.  You probably don't know what that is.  This means you have to start at the bottom from the individual level to restore the ancestor's path of the fall.

Without serving your parents in a thatched cottage you cannot find the royal parents. 

You then organize a tribe and then a people from the tribe.  

Where is the base where God's love and human love harmonizes?

God created human beings because of love.  Even God is lonely by Himself.

God created people because He wanted to live in love for thousands of years.  Even if we only live in a meager cottage, we still want to live with parents forever.

This is the same with the ideal God.  It is amazing that God is infinitely big, but He can enter a small cottage and still embrace Heaven and earth there and breathe love and live.

Therefore, is this a small house?

If God is there, even a thatched cottage is a palace of the Heavenly Kingdom, a universal palace.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: How to Be a True Parent

This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook  Cheon Seong Gyeong Book 2, True Parents and us chapter 7

Only One Path to Heaven on Earth

As people of faith what should we focus our lives upon?

God's love, God's life and God's lineage.  These three roots are the standard we should live by.

What should we be grateful for?

You must be grateful for bearing the cross.

You thought that winning would become smooth and nice, only to find you have to bear a bigger cross.

Who will make the funeral arrangements of a defeated army?  Who will train them and turn them into a regular army?

Also, if there is nothing to eat, what should be done?  Should they just be killed off or placed in prison?

Your time will come only after you have resolved this conflict and have rebuilt it.

You can live happily only after you have established a new family that is centered on God.  A new nation and a new world of peace.

How is there any true settlement in a world of chaos?

If there is a way to the eternal world, which is the original good hometown, it may be difficult but this same gauge must be the way of your life on earth.  It must be the same as the way going to the spirit world.

If you examine your lifestyle, do you think that your current life is the same as the railway in the spirit world?  Can you run straight to God's heart just as you are in your fallen state?

True Parents(the Messiah and Pure Wife) who reverse the fallen lineage of the first fallen parents who disobeyed God are needed in order to make the railway the same.

.

Our connection with True Parents is destiny

Human beings are one hundred percent foolish, except God.

God is more than one hundred percent wise.  He is our friend, our ancestors in the infinite spirit world our companions and supporting army.


I am grateful to think about this.  I know very well the feeling of taking risks on the frontline, like the time David stood in front of Goliath. It is the feeling of courage and confidence. If I fight a hundred wars, I can win a hundred wars because God is protecting me.  I have actually become this kind of person because I thought all along, "If you hit me, it is you rather than I who will be shattered." Just as God raised me like this, I have the responsibility to raise you this way.



This is why you must inherit the destiny to become a wise person through the teachings of God's word.

This is not a task which you acquired, but it is your destiny.  Our destiny is to be perfected and engraft to the bloodline of the True Parent.  This fact does not change for eternity.  No one, not even the President or richest man in the world can separate from this destiny.

We must go this path for a thousand years.  Even ten thousand years.

There are not two ways toward the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, a world of peace: only one way.  There is no other method or some secret way.  We all must walk this path.

We must carry out our responsibilities

What must we do to enter the 12 pearly gates of the spirit world?

The main question is how many people can we rescue from Satan's grip on earth and help become heavenly citizens before we enter the spirit world.

 We must shed blood, sweat and tears based on the heart of true love for the sake of recreation.  In order to bring  your own people to the heavenly kingdom, you must invest a higher heart than that of satanic parents, husband, wife and children while walking the course of shedding blood, sweat and tears.

You lay conditions that will enable you to come close to God and to rise to a position of glory in the spirit world based on the number of people you have rescued from Satan and return to God.

Father Moon speaks about his own bloody path toward laying a foundation for world restoration:

"Throughout my life, I have lived not only for the nation but also for the world. Why? Even those who are in the spirit world should receive benefits from True Parents.  On the first of February, while I was in Danbury prison, I conducted a ceremony to open the gates of hell and heaven. I had to prepare everything for opening those gates.

This is why I also had to go to prison(equivalent to Jesus going to prison). In this way, I have to go through great suffering and pain and climb over the hill of bitter sorrow.  No matter how vast the ocean, I must swim across it.

No matter how high the mountains, I have to cross over them, even if they are the snow-covered Himalayas and I have to walk with bare feet. In the same way, I established all the foundations for victory by reaching beyond the misery of history itself.

I went through a path of suffering so great that the devil himself could not follow me, and so he had to fall away."


Reverend Sun Myung Moon

In your own homes, your own sons and daughters hold a solemn position as a second God.

The grandfather and grandmother represent the past on behalf of God.  The mother and father represent the present age, and the sons and daughters represent the future.

We should serve these representatives of the three ages as past, present and future manifestations of God.  Those who deceive their children, their wives, their husbands and deceive their parents will go to hell.

The family, nation, and heaven and earth are supposed to be linked through the core of love that lives for the sake of others.

This is the kind of love which one invests even his life and forgets about it by living for others.

There is no other way.  To see a heavenly world of peace, we must restore many people that have a high standard of heart that is connected with such a core of love.

This is the secret to accomplishing the unification of the country of North and South Korea, which is the last puzzle piece to world restoration.

When you go to another nation, you must devote all of your efforts for that nation, as if you were unifying your own country, so it does not fall behind other nations.

You should offer that nation first to heaven.

The Old Testament Age, all possessions and things were offered; the New Testament Age, sons and daughters were offered through sacrifice.

Now, we are in the Completed Testament Age, restored couples are sacrificed.

The Fall severed our direct connection to God's sinless blood lineage.  We served Satan and separated from God.  We should now bring God and connect everything back together.  Your possessions are not your own.

Possessions correspond to the Old Testament Age, and sons and daughters correspond to the New Testament Age.

Things were sacrificed in the Old Testament Age to pave the road for the sons and daughters.  Today, the returning Lord, or True Parents, has suffered in order to bring God to this earth.

Since humanity served and brought Satan to earth, we ourselves must bring God back to earth and serve him.  We should link to God through true love and be acknowledged as possessions of God.

When these are connected to true love, you will then be connected to the age of children's possessions again.  Then these will be distributed for ownership to mother, father and children.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Unity Arises From Love

This post was rewritten and derived from, True Parents and Us from Cheon Seong Gyeong 

Obey Your Mind

Those who follow the words of the Divine Principle written by the Messiah, already have a deep understanding of the importance of mind and body unity.

If one was to only follow the laws that the fleshly body dictates, they would not be able to find a way to Heaven.

God's chosen champions in these Last Days are God's Air Force, Gods Navy, His infantry.  In this way, we can even go into the houses of prostitution and all the satanic covered areas showing that the good conscience must come alive.

We will defeat Satan, but like those who go to war, we must be prepared.  You must become an absolute plus on God's side no matter what.  You will either crash into the evil plus that stole the subject position or your will be able to convert them into a mins.

This is how Satan is defeated and the Messiah's strategies.  God blessed America in its infancy not for itself, but to save the world.  

He brought the Messiah to this country to show America's wrongdoings.  America must return back to God or it will perish soon.  

"The majority of the white people in this country do not want to be told to change and be involved in making heaven on earth. "We are happy already," they say and they all take a leader's position. Great country people feel, "Hey, what are you saying about me? My feeling is not so good; we're going to kick you out.".

They create an atmosphere of persecution from all four directions against the Messiah. Only one Reverend Moon is standing up; young people shoot arrows, bullets, machine guns, shooting me. But they cannot destroy me. Why? Because I take the absolute plus position; that is my continuous way. Minus automatically follows, becoming God!"

Rev. Sun Myung Moon


Satan uses his strategy as well to keep Gods children from uniting with His ideal and Will.

Satan's aim: "How can I control the mind?  With what?"  With the body.

Satan uses the human body which is attached to him through his fallen blood lineage of sin.  He'll whisper to you that the work of God is just too much.  Why don't you just take a rest?  The sky is clear, it is springtime.  Why do you work in such a poorly, dark place when everyone else is enjoying the sun and enjoying partying at night? God makes you work too hard and this course is difficult.  You aren't strong enough to stand before this kind of situation."

This is the kind of discouragement that is given to those who faithfully walk toward the path of God's will.

This is the habit of your body:  the body likes good food, good clothes and a good place to live.  It likes to sleep as much as possible.  These habits sounds and taste good and seems natural, but stands as a roadblock to do God's will.

Satan uses the material world of stimulating things to keep us from uniting with God: drugs, alcohol, beautiful women/handsome men.  When we follow the temptation of a beautiful man or woman, we will fall down into hell.  Because of Gods providence to restore man back to the original ideal, this ownership can be restored.

This is the Messiah's mission at his return: to restore the true mind owner, true love,and the true kingship.  We have been born into this world and accept at some point this is the way, but we have never experienced any of these elements in the true sense and they all have fallen from God's true ideal.

The world of conscience has been a victim throughout history not a victor.

Satan attacks the human mind to take control of God's children and pull them toward hell.

Originally, God had never made the word "victim", only victorious words. Because of the other side, we lost this most precious situation. How are we going to save this situation of humanity?  The number one point is the kingship of the mind.

Then kingship of what?  True Love.

These two things will have a relationship that is 180 degrees opposite of how the satanic world operates.

The satanic world will follow this true way of life once it is established.  Then the bar will be raised and then the it will be lowered down into Hell's waterways and barriers clearing Hell and lifting it up toward Heaven.

Forever the heart connects with God's purpose; the eternal direction is God's direction.  

We will return this fallen world which Satan uses for his purpose to destroy, to its original position and turn it back to God.  God is the subject and humanity is in the object position centering on connecting on true love forever.

We will return the world in which Satan turned all of creation toward his fallen purpose to its original position and back to God.

Once True Parents, True Love, True Life, True Lineage is established, even if Satan uses his strongest power, it will not continue there.  This is the original way of the original heart's purpose.  Your heart was not meant for Satan's will.

This it the viewpoint of the Principle:  humankind can live forever centering on true love;the ideal of God's creation.  True Parents who return the position of the first fallen parents back toward's God is absolutely needed.  The fallen blood lineage will return to God's ideal free of Satan's sinful blood lineage.

When we walk this path no matter the difficulty, we can restore absolute ownership no matter how far we have walked away from God's path.

We have to take absolute true love kingship.

What was the original position where God's love and human love was to unite?

This is through the sexual love organs.  Our sexual organs are the original palace of love and is the most valuable place.  Man and woman were to connect here centered absolutely on Gods love.  Then from there, connect children and life to God.
\
The sexual  organ is the king's life palace when we see it from the original purpose of God.  Now that we know this, we see why Satan has placed emphasis on misusing the sexual organs as he knew this was God's ideal to unite with humanity.

Through the pure sexual organs we connect the kingship true blood lineage of God.  These three foundations connect at that one point: Children, life and lineage.

Of all humankind, in all the created world, this is life's most valuable thing. 

The sexual organs is the most high-level, valuable place.  It automatically connects to the creation of the absolute ideal God had at the beginning of creation.  Not just anyone has the permission to open that place.  Only the absolute owner, the one absolute subject has the key to this palace.

From this point, absolute love appears.

Through the connection of the two love organs, absolute soul-baring is revealed. Just having this connection is not the way of salvation or restoration back toward God.

We need the Messiah in order to have the full restoration of the body.  Jesus was the first son of God to bring us toward spiritual salvation and returned to bring us salvation on the earthly plane to open the way for Heaven on Earth.

In the beginning, this pure connection centered on God would have created a true love, true children and true lineage.  Why can we not as humans create these three foundations?

Because of the fall. If the first parents obeyed God to wait until maturity to open their "fruits of love", there would be no need for a savior.  Adam an d Eve would have become the True Parents passing on Gods pure sinless lineage.

Originally, we had everything: God's ideal mind, God's body, God's love. This true love and value was stolen by Satan's mind, body and love.  We are living in a time when Satan's ideals run rampant. We live with two minds at war: our original God-given mind and our evil, fallen mind.  Our original mind understands the value of God's true love.  

Your original mind understood that true love and value. So once you can take back the original human dignity of personality, Satan will be blocked.

If you were to evaluate it, what is the deepest most important point:  This would be the mind.  Then the second point would be love.

When we know the true value, we see that there is no harmony in mind and love all around the world.

The Messiah comes to reclaim the individual foundation lost to Satan and the family foundation through the holy marriage blessing.  Then this foundation expands through restoring the representatives of Satan's family.

The Messiah will push his followers to become independent from the fallen world's way and follow him even though they had once belonged to Satan's side.  Yet many will push the Messiah away because they are satisfied with living the comfortable lifestyle they have acquired.

"Father took the consequences every time centering on God's law of conscience.

"I opened doors and left them open behind me. The route you have to follow is my way-the way I took has become the universal textbook. If you can understand the contents of this textbook, you will be grateful forever."

The Messiah is the most precious thing: touching him we connect to true love, true life and true lineage.  Without the Messiah blazing a trail of restoration through suffering, there is no way for humanity to obtain the knowledge to bring about the true blood lineage on earth which God desires.

We must connect to the words of the Messiah through his teachings of the Divine Principle which this blog is based upon and live it substantially.  We must get those three valuable things and take them back to our brothers and sisters of humanity.

True love forever. In there we will take that happiness; in there hope, in there peace, in there freedom.

If we do not restore the true love place, where is the freedom in that?  When we center on love, we have freedom.  Therefore, the American concept of freedom as 'do whatever you want' is wrong.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: Hope of the Young

This post was rewritten and derived from the speech Let Us Inherit Victory.

We Were Created to be Perfect, Not Fallen

Our ultimate goal is the erection of the Kingdom of God right here on earth: the family of God. Each person is like a brick needed to create the foundation of the family. 

Each member should dedicate their all to be part of the foundation of that family.  Together, we must all be able to create one family on earth, which is under complete dominion of God.

Our homework as all women representing the Eve position and all men the Adam position, to unite under the grace, protection and love of the Messiah who is in the father role.  You should feel to the bone that you belong to the family of God and live together with the true family of God at the Second Coming.

The true family cannot be created unless God intervenes and becomes the center.  This we should feel to our core.

God is the binding force of my own family. 

So, too, God must become the binding force of the heavenly family made up of the True Parents and you.
You must become true sons and daughters belonging to the True Parents. We should not come and dwell in your hearts as a concept, but as a natural part of your life. You don't have to explain spring, do you?

You know when spring is here; you feel it. In the same way, down in your flesh and bones, you must feel united with the True Parents as one family.

Then God becomes the binding force that brings together the heavenly family which is made up of True Parents and you.  True Parents come in the Last Days to restore the ideal of creation which was lost due to the first parents Adam and Eve.

The True Parents should dwell in your hearts and become part of your life.  The most important factor to become a member of this heavenly family is to fully realize that you are the son an daughters of God.

In other words, you should be able to say, "I am completely separated from the satanic world and perfected in the sight of God. I stand in your sight, Heavenly Father, as your son or daughter without shame, with pride.".

We talk about the fall of man often, but what is the fall and what are fallen children?

Fallen children do not feel in reality that they are God's children and He is their father.  They do not have the concept of God.

You must have the following realization and awakening: "I have been born again. I have a new life. I belong to True Parents. Through the power of the True Parents, I am now engaging in a new life. I am God's son; I am God's daughter.".

You must feel that realization down to the bone.

The second realization you must feel that you are a qualified citizen of the Kingdom of God.

Third, when you see the nation, and the world, you must feel the grace of God and think, "God has given this world to me as His inheritance.  I am entitled to claim this world as the son or daughter of God.".

It is an important task for members to know these realizations and awakenings: first recognize you are the son and daughters of God; second, realize you are the citizen of the Kingdom of God; and third, the world of creation is an inheritance from God. God has given all these things as blessings to the children of God.

The individual with these realizations is headed for perfection. 

The person who knows this becomes entitled and qualified as a member or the center of the heavenly family. There are two distinct worlds in our way of life that exists.

The other world is full of people that are suffering and it is crumbling.  As citizens of the Kingdom of God, you must be in the position to influence the other world and not fall victim of the fallen world.

Our mission is to bring those in the other world back to God so we can expand God's territory.  

You may have noticed that what seems to look good on the outside in the fallen world or right crumble, decay and decline.

There is no comparison between the good that is in the satanic world and the poor condition inside the world of goodness.  Even though in the heavenly family things and situations may look poor and meager, later, that family will be blessed, will flourish and prosper.  Instead of being dominated by the satanic world, we should be in the position to influence it.

What is the secret to restoring and influencing the heavy secular world?

The way people live in the satanic world is completely opposite of the way people of faith live since we are moving toward reorganization of the true family on the world level.

It is obvious that those in the satanic world live a life that is destined to destroy the true family structure. In any family, the parents and children are divided.  The parents say to the children when they reach a certain age to go out on their own and be independent.  In that world, the parents are for themselves; the children are for themselves; and the grandchildren are for themselves.

The members of the family are completely divided.

On the contrary, those in the heavenly world set a tradition to see that all members of the family come together.  The grandfather and grandmother give their children their tradition and way of life as an inheritance. The father and mother, in turn, hand down the tradition they received to their children who are the grandchildren of the grandparents.

Let's look at Adam's family. God is in the grandparent's position to Adam's family, Adam and Eve are the parents, and the children of Adam and Eve are in the children's position. We are born as children. We grow into adulthood, and then we give birth to children. Later we become older and become grandparents. That's the way we become perfect or complete.

When every family of grandparents, parents and children come together and live this heavenly tradition through the three stages of formation, growth, and perfection/completion, they will truly represent those families.

The true way for Adam and Eve's family was to be organized in three vertical levels with God as the grandfather.  Then all the human race would be organized in a similar pattern on the horizontal level if Adam and Even had not fallen and became perfect after maturity.

Then their true family would be the center of the entire heavenly family and heavenly universe.

Externally, Adam and Eve were to be the physical parents to their children. 

God is invisible in spirit.

God's ideal of creation was for God to become a visible being through Adam and Eve.  They were to be the visible form of God's image.  The walking God, the tangible God would be the dwelling place of God.  Their mind or spirit would be the inner temple.  With God dwelling in them spiritually, they were to be in God's position in front of their children as True Parents.

In order for this to be achieved, Adam was to be perfected as an individual once he matured and united together with God as one.  Also, Eve was to receive God and be united into oneness with Him.  When these two perfected individual unite together with the power of love as the binding force, there is a mutual unity between the external and the internal.

Why did God create the universe and create man?  

In this creation, God wanted to be in a position to exercise His own love through an object to which He could give His love.  If this becomes the case, then perfected Adam's family and all of mankind would not have fallen and brought sin in the world through uniting with the archangel.

We would have inherited the direct sinless lineage of God as our substantial father.

While we are on earth, we represent Adam and Eve.  When they are perfected here on earth, then automatically the Kingdom of God in heaven will be elevated to perfection living like God for eternity.

The Kingdom of God on earth is where qualified, perfected Adam-type parents are produced.  

After their perfection here on earth, they automatically enter into the Kingdom of God in heaven and be elevated in perfection there.

Who wants to dwell in the Kingdom of God on earth and the Kingdom of God in heaven.  It is human destiny and desire to create the perfect Kingdom of God here on earth.  We all wish for a day where we can live in a world of peace.

The order of business to acquire heaven on earth is to build the first family of perfection through the Messiah's Second Coming.  These Adam-type parents of perfection would be known as the True Parents.  You must know how precious and valuable it is to be able to receive the True Parents in our time.

It was not God's desire to wait thousands of years for the coming of the True Parents.

In order to create the Kingdom of God here on earth, we need True Parents in the center as Adam and Eve who were supposed to be the True Parents of mankind. 

Because the first parents failed to fulfill God's purpose of creation, humanity was never able to see True Parents.  Only the Messiah knows how to erect the Kingdom of God on earth.

Jesus was to build the Kingdom of God on earth through his own family, but had to go through the second route of death at the cross because no one believed in him in his time.

What is the clear definition of "Kingdom of God here on earth"?  It is the place where everyone live with the True parents' family and become True Parents' children.  The Kingdom of God in heaven is the place where you live in eternity with Heavenly Father and the eternal parents.

If Adam and Eve had not fallen, they would  naturally would have terminated their life here on earth before their own children.  Instead, their son was murdered.  When Adam and Eve died, did they go to Heaven?  The Garden of Eden portrayed in the Bible was symbolic of Heaven on Earth.  After they fell, God kicked them out to live in the fallen realm they had created along with the archangel.

Adam and Eve were to become the first two people to be elevated to the Kingdom of God in heaven.

They would become True Parents, naturally. If Adam and Eve had not fallen, they would have become the first two persons elevated to the Kingdom of God in heaven. There they would have occupied the throne of God, since even in the spirit world God is invisible.

In spirit world, you do not only have the heavenly father you also have the heavenly father after the Messiah has restored the mistake of fallen Adam and Eve through his own family.

We do not have regeneration or multiplication if we do not have both father and mother.

If we are the image of God, then as men and women they both are the outer form of the dual characteristics that are within God.  Jesus came and was the first man to restore the position of True Adam on earth.  If the people of Israel had fulfilled their position and believed and accepted Jesus, he would have a bride that would have fulfilled the position of True Eve.  She would be the first True Daughter of God.

The father and mother become one and together represent the full image of God. Actually, the father and mother who are elevated into the Kingdom of God in heaven first would become the king and queen of the world.

The Idea of True Parents

Once we truly understand the Fall of man, it is easy to understand the idea of True Parents. 

Rev. Sun Myung Moon



This is the time for liberation.  When we enter a room, we shouldn't wear hats or hoods on our heads.  Catholics and other religions cover their heads in church, but this is the time we uncover.

When Adam and Eve fell, do you think after God kicked them out of the kingdom that he blessed them in a Holy Marriage?

Some people even believe the first parents of humankind were already married when they fell, but they were engaged.  Adam and Eve begin their married life on their own.  If their life was not centered on God, than who did they follow and center their life upon?

If Adam and Eve, the first parents of humanity, began their love and family without God then they centered their life and belief in Satan.  The word "do not eat" was given to them by God, when they chose to believe in Satan's word "Do eat, it will open your eyes and you will become like God" and thus followed Satan.  They centered their life on Satan's life, Satan's false love, and Satan's lineage.

This is how humankind's lineage began, and how every person has been born with Satan's blood which is stained with sin.  Because of this fact, the history of restoration has taken a very long time.  If God had the responsibility to solve this on His own, He would have immediately restored Adam and Eve after the Fall or created a new humanity and started over again.

Since it is the responsibility of the parents to solve humanity's problem, history has awaited for the arrival of the True Parents who travel in the opposite direction from the Fall.  The parents have to first have an understanding of the problem and discover the prescription for correcting it.

Adam and Eve were to be the first parents and become perfected before marriage, but they became incomplete parents.  We are living in the era where Adam and Eve can become complete.

True Parents provide the formula for the ideal home. 

If we view the word parents" as the ones who help to restore humanity, then the word 'parent' takes on the meaning of Messiah as the Second Coming or savior.  The Messiah comes to restore what is broken.  In these Last Days, we see that families and countries are broken up.  In order to repair broken families, we need True Parents.

Society has tried all organizations and laws to bring society back into order, but have failed.   The messiah will not only bring God's word to help mend broken families, but also nations.  True Parents, the messiah, acquires the formula for the ideal nation.

We must know that whatever God wants to uphold, Satan wants to destroy.

This is what the Fall was composed of.  The Fall destroyed the most precious thing of value to God.  Satan began his destruction of God's domain with the family extending to the country and then to the cosmos.

When man comes to the end of times for evil, man will have the potential to come back to God.  At this time the worst things appear and go against what God desires.  These bad things that have appeared in history including Communism will not last forever and ever.

We have hope for humanity to go back toward God's will no matter how much Satan has tried to destroy God's will.  Actually, these things are near destruction and will be finally completely destroyed.

In Noah's time, the flood judgment came. As the time got near, the judgment took place. We saw similar events throughout history.

Let's examine the time of Jesus.  God had raised the Jewish religion and nation for 2000 years to prepare for the messiah.  Even though there was this much preparation, both were almost destroyed and there has been so much bloodshed after Jesus came.

Because of Jesus' death before he could complete God's will of bringing peace on earth, there was an enormous amount of indemnity to pay.  This time was not redeemed until after the last World War where a staggering number of people over six million had to suffer for God's dispensation.

At this time of the Second Coming, we see this phenomenon happening again, this is the time where children who go against the returned messiah will not be tolerated.  Heaven and earth will not tolerate such people.

Since we are living in the end times we see that everything evil is close to destruction, the evil world which Satan built his will upon, turning God's children away from God's desires.

In the end times, Satan wants the most precious things to be destroyed.  Since America has been the leading nation of the world centered upon the Christian philosophy, Satan set his sights there.

Why are the church's memberships declining especially among the youth and have become bingo houses and resemble old folk's homes?  Do Christians truly follow God and do they have anything which God needs?  God does have a need and he should be able to find it in the church among those who follow His direction.

God raised up Christianity so it would accomplish Jesus's mission of a pure environment to create the true individual, family, nation and to eventually liberate God from the turmoil humanity's fall created.

Within churches, do we see any true families?

What about true clans? Are there true people? We cannot find these things which God needs in any of the Christian churches. Therefore, whatever we see in the churches is not of use to God. God cannot truly find anything useful for His purpose in the Christian churches today. On the other hand, the things which Satan needs and enjoys are in abundance.

We can look at how America had acquired the appetite for individualism which is rampant everywhere. This is happening even within the churches.

Is there true unity between churches and the members?

There are even hundreds of different denominations within the Christian world.  Is this God's will - would He want to see such things as His children being separated.  Satan does not want to see people come into unity.  Churches are supposed to be bringing unity and spreading True Love, not worrying about evangelizing for profit.

Since this is the case, we can clearly see that what God needs in order to restore the world is not found within the walls of the Christian church.


Where, Then, is God?

God should be at the place where the ideal of creation is fulfilled. Is this a physical place? This is a place where a man and a woman who reflect God's nature come together and form a God-like family.  If we have not become exactly like God in the perfection stage, we can at least become people that God will want to follow and live with.  Have we met such people like this in the world?

When looking at the family, would you want your children to love you and have affection for you or do you want them to oppose you and treat you badly like we see in modern television and movies? Of course, everyone wants their children to love them and behave.

By the same token, you feel like being close to your own physical parents and enjoying a good relationship with them, don't you? Parents also want to be able to lean on and depend upon their own children. So we must create the environment within our family that allows the parents to freely lean on the children whenever they want to. The children should never rebuff them.

We all want to have a close relationship with our parents and our parents want to be able to lean and depend upon their own children.

On this same note, when it comes to the church, wouldn't you think that God would want to lean on His own people which He has raised throughout the ages?  But most people in the church would only allow God to lean on them if they were not to receive some blessing.  This comes from selfish thinking and not out of love for God.

We can see the standard of the churches.  Does someone who spends only a few hours in the pews be truly prepared for God to lean on Him just by listening to a brief sermon once a week?

Catholics, Protestants and so forth are proud, but God is even rejected in the true sense by Christians!  So, how can God visit these churches when the minister is just reading the bible and not truly understanding the depths from God's standpoint?

Jesus worked hard and built a foundation for Christianity, but was God's will truly fulfilled and completed in the Christian churches till today?  Young people are pushed by God to leave the churches that are not worthy of Him and they join the secular world.  These young people find worse situations than when they were in the churches.

The churches are the main supplier of God ad to bring a solution to the problem of evil in the world.  Churches are meant to put a stop to the downhill slide of Satan's society he built.  Have the churches been able to do that?  Actually, the 'modern' church is being dragged and pulled to follow the ways of society instead of being an influence to society.

So God had to send the Lord of the Second Advent to save the evil world.

God will talk to Satan and say, "You have done everything you wanted to do. You have tried everything you wanted to try, correct?"

Satan will have to answer "yes". Satan completed his job of destroying the individual, family and world and all the valuable things God spent billions of years to create.  Those Americans who have such a high ideal about being great, is there a person that God can be truly proud.  Can such a person be found in America whom God can lean on?


The clear answer is no.

There are plenty of students in the Ivy League schools about whom others say, "He is a real genius," but such a person is living almost like a dog, a bad dog at that. The moral integrity of this once great nation had degenerated within a few generations.

This should really make you angry to hear, but instead you laugh. Is that because you realize how true it is?

Can God be proud of the American government?  The administration is all dog-like.  Where can God truly dwell and be at peace in this country of America?  Would God be drawn to and follow the president just because He sees hope that He can bring change to this nation and world?  God would say to the President and his family that He would not follow them in the way they are now even though they hold a great position in society.

Do you think God will be attracted to, and follow the president because God can see hope in him? Will God want to follow Barbara Bush or any of their children just because of their position in this country?

Even if they expressed a desire to get closer to God, God would say, "Not the way you are now," and He would just chase them out.

If God cannot follow the President of a country it should never be respected and such a country will be destroyed.  

America had been protected from many external wars and grew into great wealth in the shortest time of any country because God had laid His blessing on its founding.  He had great hopes that the people of the nation would honor His standard and carry this throughout the world.

When Reverend Moon says such things about a patriot's nation they should not be angry, but should accept the truth even though it does not make them happy.  Speaking such truths is why Reverend moon has been opposed so much in the country.

"I have been speaking the truth about this country and many people came against me, to the point of even putting me in prison. Should I have said to myself, "I guess I had better stop doing this because the people don't like it"? Why not? I cannot stop speaking the truth because there are people who will hear me and change, along with those who oppose me and who refuse to accept the truth."
