Messiah Returns to be Our Parent

 Get ready for another superhero analogy and more to come throughout the article.  What a great way to end the last week of the month by talking about the Messiah who has already returned to the earth.

The reason why the Messiah's coming is not glorified, is one, it is hard to accept, two, we were all looking up in the sky, three, the Messiah requires for us to make a 180 degree turn from the direction we are headed including absolute sex (sex only in marriage, only with spouse), completely subdue our body, and follow God.

The most important reason why many people do not care about the Messiah's return, is they don't understand the importance to their own situation.

Every person walking the earth is affected by the mistakes our Adam and Eve's, our forefathers, nations, and ancestors made in the past. 

We wonder why some families prosper and other families spend their time in jail.  The Messiah brings God's truth in order for us to conquer this lineage we inherited full of sin and completely become owners of True Love.  If everyone was able to follow their good mind absolutely, and center their life on God, Heaven on Earth and World Peace happens automatically.

Many may wonder what does a Messiah have to do with bringing World Peace to the earth?  Without looking into specifics of his mission, it is hard to understand. 

When we look at Superman, Batman, and the updated Ironman of Stark's industries we see that these men claim to save the earth. In the second installation of Ironman, Stark claimed to have solved the earth's problems through his Ironman suit being able to end conflict.

The reason why these action figures a half century later still blow up our movie theaters with their charisma is because it taps into the reality of earth's situation - yours and my situation. 

Our original mind that is connected to God feels uplifted and reawakened when we see these characters because we ourselves seek salvation from earth's painful experiences and conflicts. 

Why? 

Because our original nature endowed to you and me at the time of creation knows this current world is not God's original ideal.  Superheroes are just an icon that demonstrates our hope that one man can return our world to the original ideal which is World Peace.


One Person Can Bring World Peace

Tony Stark in Ironman part 2 claimed to "Privatized World Peace" through rescuing people with his powerful suit, and by intervening in world conflicts and stopping wars.  The UN and all is at rest.  Even though it is impossible to end wars without first conquering the main cause of war.

War is not the cause of human conflict, but is a symptom.  Wars begin within each person who has the conflict of their original, good mind and their evil mind fighting to be our center.

This battle is within each of us, even the most devote Christian, Muslim, and it was in every saint and prophet of God except for Jesus and the returned Messiah.

This is the reason Tony Stark can realistically not end conflicts, because he himself had internal conflicts a battle to be good himself.  Reverend Sun Myung Moon's famous quote is, "Before you can begin to conquer the world and it's problem, you must first conquer the division within yourself."

Therefore, this is the reason why Jesus could bring World Peace, because he had found peace and was connected directly to God, His lineage and His ideal without a middle man.  We are not directly linked to God, we need a savior to link to God, so does Tony Stark, this is the difference.

Jesus Returns Spiritually to Restore Through A Living Messiah

Jesus as perfected man, as a man who restored Adam's mistake in the Garden of Eden, was able to bring the ideal of heaven.  But He was not able to finish his mission, because of the failure of the people to believe in their time and follow Jesus as the true Messiah.  God then had to bring only spiritual salvation.

What about physical salvation, meaning save us from physical pains?  The bible says that the end will be no more tears and pain, this is because the Messiah bring physical salvation this second time, not just spiritual.  How are we going to bring Heaven on Earth?  That was Jesus's mission from the beginning and this is the only reason why he returns.  Not to destroy the earth, but to bring the ideal of Heaven on Earth.  This means World Peace, an Utopia of eternal peace while we walk the earth.

What was incomplete at Jesus's crucifixion?

We know we were not able to obtain Heaven on Earth, so he returns for this, but there was another mission Jesus left unfinished.  Jesus was meant to be married to a woman who had become a True Woman before God, and they would be the first True Couple on earth married in a Blessing Ceremony approved by God. 

Yes, we all perform marriage before God, but this is only a conditional signature, it is not officially approved by God and connected to God's lineage. Otherwise, we would bore children without sin if we are parents blessed truly before God.  How can we as people born in sin be officially blessed and approved by a perfect God?  Our first ancestors were kicked out of God's realm before they were blessed in marriage.  Does it not make sense then, that their children were born outside of God's realm leading to you and me?

So, Jesus in spirit aids the living Messiah who God officiated to bring about the completed restoration of the failures of the past.  The living Messiah has taken a bride and together they are called True Parents.

Today, the returning Lord, the True Parent, suffers here to bring God as ruler to this earth. Since human beings brought Satan to earth by believing in his words "to eat" and disobeyed God's words "not to eat", it has been made into hell. We must bring God back. 

We should bring God back into the center of our homes, our schools and neighborhoods.  America is following the wrong path of selfishness and serving only the nation's own interest when before it used to fight for world causes.  America can only be saved with a God revolution.

If you want to find a Utopian world, where do you have to go?


How We Find Peace on Earth

We spoke how Jesus was supposed to take on a bride who herself had become a True Woman and they were to marry.  If Jesus was God's true son, wouldn't God need a true daughter as well, to reverse Eve's mistake in the garden?

This marriage engrafts them to God's true lineage and we were to link to that lineage.  Now the Messiah has returned and has completed that mission and through giving the Holy Blessing to us in marriage we engraft to God's lineage through having children.

Without going through the realm of original family love, you have no place else to go. I connected the realm of indirect dominion and the realm of direct dominion by means of God's and True Parents' love.

Accordingly, the way opened to go back and forth between the spiritual and physical worlds is over a
bridge of love. As the textbook the Divine Principle explains, the realms of direct dominion and indirect dominion are distinct realms, as God originally created them.  They were meant to freely interact, yet right now, the spiritual world uses people on earth for their own evil purposes.

Then how can we make the physical and spiritual realms one centered on God?

This is possible only through true love. The only time they become one is when human beings, Adam and Eve -- reach maturity. At that time, true horizontal love automatically appears. When they embrace each other at that point, saying, "Oh, you are my partner," true love appears at the center of that couple.

When positively(subject) charged love appears in perfection, negatively(object) charged, like a positive magnet and negative charged magnet love is bound to appear immediately. When positively charged love comes down to negatively charged love and they engage, they determine the standard of true love. Then it is complete.

When true love appears, everything follows automatically. Only true love works for everything. This way, the world is converted into a Utopian sphere.


We Can Embody Absolute True Love

Where does true love start and begin?

Through Parents.

In the original idea of creation God planned for humans to learn and practice love by relating and interacting with the family.  By relating in true love with brothers and sisters, they would know how to treat their brothers and sisters of the earth the same way. 

Also, through the love of their parents they would learn the true parent-child love.  As we were to become perfected individuals, we would fully mature in God's love and then He would bless our marriage where we would no longer bore children of sin and have children of God's goodness.  Then we would learn God's position through our parent-child relation to our children.

A true husband and wife should interact with true love and not provide a basis for Satan's accusation. The children in a true family cannot be the sons and daughters of a true family if they leave behind some condition to be accused by the satanic world.

This is the problem. For countless generations, instead of receiving God's lineage, humankind received Satan's lineage. So how can we eliminate this satanic lineage?  I am asking you how can we eliminate the dirty lineage Adam and Eve inherited from the Fall?

True Parents are the ones who have come with the true love, true life and true lineage of God in order to eliminate satan's dominion over you and me and God's creation. The True Parents have been restoring lives using Satan's lineage as fertilizer.

When we see God's position, we can understand why we have so much chaos in the world, and how far we are disconnected from the ideal.  It is possible for us to go this way, as it is God's plan that he will realize even if it takes thousands years more.

It is truly amazing. Even Jesus did not know it; or even if he did know it, he could not say what was in his heart because the people of his time could not understand his teachings about earthly matters. Also, no religious leaders have been aware of this hidden secret of the universe.

The Messiah has come in front of the world to reveal the secrets of the universe for the first time in history. From now on, we should turn our direction from the individual foundation to the national foundation. If the leader of a nation repents of his past and turns around, God forgives him. This is part of God's new tradition and signals a new lineage. Otherwise, we cannot separate from Satan.

Are you ready to leave behind satan's ideal of the world and usher in the long awaited World of Peace?


Beginning Point of History

What should be our focus?  God's love, God's life and God's lineage -- these three roots are the standard.

In this world of peace, Utopia or Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, we will value the creation and each person as a true brother and true sister even if we never met before.  This means strangers at the grocery store and on the sidewalks will welcome your embrace and the comfort of sitting together for lunch as brothers and sisters of humanity.

We will be able to relate to strangers as long lost brothers we have found.  We will have true relations as true husband and true wives working hard to establish a strong family centered on God's ideals.

You are living in the age of restoration of humanity where the body grows based on God's love, life, and lineage and uses true love as fertilizer. One side disappears and the other prospers. From that point, God is present with you and Satan is separated away forever.

Jesus came to bring salvation to separate and protect those who believe.  He returns as the Messiah to the Complete Testament age, after the New Testament age, to finish his mission to completely eradicate satan from the earth and from dominating my body and yours.

No one knows the pain that is in God's heart. We know this only because God appeared in history to save us through religion, and through the Messiah who has already returned as the True Parent of humankind. He reveals this profound mission, and like Revelation prophesied, he unlocks the secrets that Jesus could not reveal and gives us these words in the Completed Testament age.

Messiah Superhero Returns To Save Earth

Every hero came out of their shell when it came time to defend the earth against evil.  Many comic book creators say that they created their characters based on their wish fulfillment.  Many times this wish was to end the wars that were occurring, Rambo was a wish fulfillment to end the war with Vietnam and other conflicts.

Comic book creators of the past came from a background where their money situation was less than desirable.  The creators of comic book heroes were comic book geeks before there were comics.

These superheroes in their bright happy colors, with godly powers, were the hopes of all of their creators to save them from their own situations.

They created characters that were bigger than they were and strong against the bullies in their schools, bigger than the enemy of their nation. 

Comic book creators wished to be just as handsome and wealthy as Tony Stark and Batman.  Sorry, comic guys, for saying you are not as beautiful as your characters, but they know why their characters still exist over a half century awing audiences with their creations all the way into the millennium.  We all have this dream to have The One appear to stop evil, to pummel whoever is trying to end our freedom. 

We each either want our own superhero, or we want to be a hero.

Why is this so steeped into humanity?  It is even seen in our human history, the need for a hero.

4, 000 years ago, the Israelites were given a promise by God that they would receive a Messiah that would bring Peace on Earth and conquer their Rome.  How did the Israelites feel looking up in the sky for the return of Elijah only to see John the Baptist as the witness to Jesus? 

Even the Israelites dreamed of a superhero. So how did the Israelites feel when a meek man, in a poorer condition then they were, proclaims that he was the Son of God? The One that they sought to save them for 2,000 years. 


What Are the Messiah's Weapon?

Look in the bible again, Jesus was met with many disbelievers.  Even John the Baptist sent one of his followers to Jesus when John was in prison and asked him, "Are you the one to come, or should we look for another."

Even John the Baptist asked Jesus before he was beheaded if Jesus was truly Israel's hero.

Today, we watch these Superhero movies like crazy, they seem to come out every week, and we can't get enough.  Is this connected somehow to the fact that humanity wants to be save from their world of depression, divorce, sadness, starvation, war and fear?

What is the number one phrase spray painted and plastered in every city: Jesus Saves!  Jesus Saves!

Save what or whom?  Earth? Animals?

The Messiah saves God's lost sons and daughters from the life of sin.   Superheroes are popular and carry symbols of their liberty through their outlandish costumes and such.  What would be Jesus's trademark for salvation? 

What weapon did Jesus use to conquer  his foes?

Jesus was the only human who was God's True Son.  The winds and the waves listened to his commands.  He was the true embodiment of a human being.  The one we aspire to be.

Jesus went one step further than any superhero.  He not only saved many people physically on earth by feeding thousands, healing the sick and raising the dead, Jesus was the first to heal even the human heart.  Based on Moses's strong faith, God could separate the seas yet Moses and his people's hearts would fall into faithlessness and would never see the dream of the land of milk and honey.

Jesus from beginning to end gave up his life way before the cross.  He gave hope to the poor and hope to his disciples about the coming of Heaven on Earth.  He sacrificed his life to teach others about the life giving Word of God.

This is a Truehero. 


Jesus Conquered Rome

Have you ever seen an account where Jesus took up arms?  Where does it show that any saint conquered their foes using force?  Well he did, and so did the saints. 

Time and time again, during Romans rule of the earth, followers of Jesus stood before massive beast of men.  They faced lions, and until death they sung songs of glory praising God and Jesus.

As we know through the study of history, Jesus's followers conquered Rome.  How could this be?  What force did the first Christians use to conquer such a powerful civilization such as Rome?

This force is the strongest force on earth.  Stronger than Superman's power.  You might be surprised.  Let's see.  The atomic bomb didn't exist back then.  I don't remember any followers carrying swords or held riots.  How do people of faith keep winning in the end?

The bible proclaims that Jesus had a sword, a shield and carried a body of armor.  This of course was in symbol only, so what was his power?

This force is God's True Love. 

Perfect love is so powerful that it can melt the heart of the enemy. No matter how intense two people hate each other, their rift will be healed once true love comes between them. 

The basis for the emergence of good and bad is the motivation to obtain love.  We usually like someone because they understand us.  On the other hand, it is hard to love someone who hates us.  This is why it is so hard to unite.  Perfect love is so powerful, it can unite enemies.  If you were to ask a strong communist if love could unite or absolute power unites, he would not say love unites. 

The idea that love has power does not even exist in the communist ideology.  Regardless, even if they deny love's power, they know in their hearts that love is more precious than material.


Communist Deny God

The communist ideology places material in the center of their ideology.  This view conflicts with the basics of human nature because  God created us for the purpose of love.  Then there must be an error with the Marxist ideology. 

If the communists really want to build an ideal world, then they must proclaim love as the supreme power in creation; otherwise they are lying to their own hearts.

The Returning Messiah's weapon is found in Revelations.  It will be fire.  Yet this is not a literal fire for he comes to save the earth not end it.  This weapon is the truth revealed in the Completion of the New Testament.  This word will make the communist ideology submit voluntarily.

Communism's ideology has an ending point no matter how powerful it may try to appear. God is infinitely large.  He does not fit into human logic.  How can the large force of love which is the greatest force in the universe be contained in a smaller container.  Since a small container cannot become bigger then this means that communism can never conquer the world or bring a World of Peace.

What will be able to unite the different races and cultures?  In order for the racial problem to be eradicated, Christianity should be practiced in the highest sense.  This will happen upon the revival of Christianity that will be able to unify the religions and the world.

If God planned for the Messiah to end the earth upon his return, He would have not prepared his people for thousands of years; He would have ended the world when Jesus first came to earth.  Why look for a superhero who comes to save only you, and burn the rest of the world and God's children.

Jesus said that he came with fire.  Fire is the word and he will save us upon his return with the power of love and God's word.  With this emerging hidden word renewed, we have the power to conquer Satan completely in our own lives and in our lineage.

This is the hope of all humanity.  You are living in the time of the Completion Age, and you should have no fear of our hero's return for he plans to bring us back to God's direct love.

The Messiah Returns to Save Earth Not End It

Have you ever seen a superhero rescue a person that was living in peace?

So what exactly will our hero do when he returns?  Is God going to go through the thousands of years of restoring His children through religion just so he can take a few children and destroy the earth and leave the rest to be damned eternally?  What parent gives up on their children?

If imperfect parents will go through the fire to save their child, how much more heart does God have for His lost ones?

Jesus came the first time to bring Heaven.  What happened to the rest...On Earth? 

Simply the Messiah returns as he did before: to bring Heaven On Earth.  He said it many times, Heaven is at hand.  It is in the midst of us.  No one in his time could understand him fully.

Why does God wait for centuries to pass while His children suffer, are murdered, tortured before rescuing us?  Why wait for the world to get worse before sending his hero?  Why didn't Jesus fully burn up sin from the earth when he first came?

Why didn't he bring Heaven on Earth at Jesus's time to save His people from Roman persecution?  Because something went terribly wrong in his time, and God was unable to fully fulfill the providential will of heaven. 


God's Process of Restoring Us

God never decided that when humans fell far from His Will in the Garden of Eden that he would wait thousands or scientifically millions of years later to save His children. I do not believe in a Father such as that.

After the Fall, God started within Adam and Eve's family to restore humanity. He was logical. His plan was to immediately restore just one family and not wait millions of years to teach 7 billion people to change their hearts toward Him through religion.

He wanted to work through Cain and Abel. Abel (God's side) and Cain (enemy side).  Abel was meant to win over his brother's heart through love. Then Cain was supposed to submit to his younger brother, and then they both obtain the blessing.  Then humanity would have returned to God's original ideal through Cain and Abel and the Messiah would have returned within that time. 

Evil would disappear in Adam and Eve's family.

Can you imagine that if Cain had not murdered Abel, our history would be one of victory instead of sin and sorrow?  No one teaches of this fact.

But Cain killed Abel, then God had to work again and again through a figure representing Abel and another figure representing Cain.  This process went on century after century until He finally had victory with Jacob and Esau who were twins. But something was left unfinished.   Humans are still born into sin. Our blood still needs to be saved, this is not God's original idea.

This is why Jesus returns to give us the new truth that he couldn't tell his disciples who deserted him. Jesus agonized that his disciples were not able to fully comprehend his higher teachings.  Jesus told his followers how could they understand the things of heaven if they could not even believe in the earthly things he proclaimed. We don't truly grasp it today and neither did the Israelites.

If we were living in Jesus's time would we fully understand his teachings or stick ardently to the Old Testament teachings of Moses law like the Israelites did?

So what is this truth he couldn't tell his disciples? 

This truth is revealed in our time, and thus will unify the world while he is on earth.  The Messiah does not come to give up on earth and take a precious select few to heaven, but to save all of humanity and usher them toward a world of peace. 


How All God's Children Will Win

When humanity accepts the Messiah's ideology, we will be able to finish the process of restoration that God was trying to accomplish through Cain and Abel and in other time periods. God's side will be victorious and make the enemy in every form voluntarily submit.

World Peace is achieved when fallen people restore their hearts toward God.

This is why, behind history spanning  several thousand years, God has been carrying out the work of searching for this one person in order to reorganize the history of humankind filled with evil.

Before the ideal world can be realized, there must appear a nation, but a tribe must appear before a nation comes, a clan before a tribe, a family before a clan, and one person before a family.

Then, who should that person be?

Should it be a woman, or should it be a man?

Have you ever noticed that throughout history that every major religion was created by one sex - all were created by man.  Is this chauvinistic?

The Messiah should be a man, because when God created humans, he created Adam first.  Because He created Adam first, we must go through Adam for restoration.  Eve was created from Adam's rib with Adam as the origin and Eve has to work through a man for restoration.

All of human history has been in search of a perfected man.  At the time of creation, woman was created after man; therefore, it is an unchangeable fact that history is in search of a man.


Who is the Messiah?

What kind of man can be called the Messiah in front of God's standard?  The Messiah is the eldest son, the first born son of God.  The Messiah is the starting point, and first person to receive God's direct love.

This is why Jesus, referring to himself, said he was the "only son" of God. Being the only son means to receive all the love.

The Messiah is the person who is qualified to convey God's entire love to the individual, family, clan and the World.

　
When the bible asked when Jesus returns will he find faith on earth, it did not pertain to the amount of followers he had. It was asking if there would be those that would pick up their cross and follow his return unto death. Will he find that when it came time to fight the enemy with the fire of the Word, or would his followers scatter once more?

Why would anyone ask if Jesus is going to find faith on earth when he is returning to end all the conflict?

Because, just like before, Jesus needed his followers to finish the process of completely restoring the world - he needed followers.  Jesus could not restore Israel all by himself, he needed his disciples to follow until the end.  Instead, at the end when Jesus was being sent to prison, all of his disciples ran away.

There is a conventional belief that humanity will be restored with just the mere appearance of the Messiah returning.  Poof!  The world is perfected.  Poof!  The people are cleansed completely.  Even superheroes need people to cooperate to save the world.

Believers should understand that each human is given a percentage of responsibility with the providence of restoration. 

If all creation could be automatically restored with the appearance of the Messiah, why did it not happen the first time, and why wait 2000 years?

This belief causes many people to disbelieve in such a god who does not care about the suffering of his children who cry out endlessly to him.  We should know that God's heart was to restore Adam and Eve quickly and within their immediate family.

When Cain killed Abel, God had to go through countless saints until he found Jesus.  And again humanity failed in their responsibility to unite with the Messiah.

No matter how much God and the Messiah prepare the world to completely return to God's ideal, complete restoration will not happen without humanity following using their 5 % responsibility.

Every human was given 5% responsibility in every part of creation; this is called free will.

This is important in order to understand that Armageddon is a choice we make on a global level. Are we truly following God in these Last Days standing with the Messiah against the enemy as it attacks our mind and body?

It is up to us to choose God absolutely in every part of our lives and not to give up our power to the enemy.

Many believe that The Messiah returns to blast the world away and take followers to live in the sky during the resurrection, and the eternal world that God created is left empty of His children.

The mistake that caused hell on earth did not happen in the sky - it happened on earth.  The fall began from a couple on earth and human beings on earth and must be reversed through a couple on earth.


We Need God's Love

Humankind lost true love through the fall and broke God's heart at the sight of losing his children. In other words, the Messiah is the one who comes to restore the lost true love.  In doing so, he not only heals humanity through reconnecting us to God's love, but he also heals God's heart as well.

When an unmarried man and woman love each other, they will defy even death in order to fulfill their love, just as Eve and Adam had done in the Garden.

When we become one with God's love, we will be able to practice God's love.

This will be realized when the Messiah comes and links God's love to us. The Messiah is the person with a unified mind and body, and has God's true love dwelling in him. The Messiah is the person who brings God's love, which can unify the world, unify the nation, unify family and the individual.

God's will is to send the Messiah who can become the subject of love and build the world of love. God is trying to realize World Peace through religion; therefore, religion is a necessary footstool for the Messiah to proclaim God's message of unity.
