Jesus Married? Why not?

It may sound like great for fiction a movie like the Da Vinci Code based off of actual documents pertaining to Jesus.  The religious will continually deny that it was even possible and this seems like news, but to religious scholars it is business as usual. The article goes more in depth about the find.  Now the Vatican purports that the papers are fake bringing up the issue that leaders are trying to hide the fact that Jesus had the possibility to have a True Wife.

 

Jesus was born a man with the same equipment that other men are born with.  How do we know?  For one, he was born of a human, and secondly God does not go against his own rules.  There is not an incident of God changing the anatomy of a person for his own goals.  Therefore, Jesus was equipped with the ability to have children. 

 

This blog always mentions how the crucifixion was God's second choice.  God's first choice for Jesus was not death.  Jesus became perfect, and was the first human being to fulfill the mission that Adam was supposed to fulfill and that was to become mature as a son of God. 

 

 Jesus was the first True Son.  Jesus was endowed with God's unstained seed at birth which flowed through Jesus's blood.  Why would God destroy what took him millions of scientific years to achieve without leaving any remnants of this perfected seed on earth? 

 

Another question is, if God has found his True Son, where is his True Daughter?  When are women going to have their chance to be restored?  No religious leader speaks of this. 

 

Why is the Jesus marriage debate such a big deal to this day? 

 

Because at one point, Christianity understood this point:  Jesus was to marry a true woman like himself, have a holy marriage sanctified by God and have children born with God's lineage.  How else would God's perfect seed be attained on earth?  Through fallen people?  How can a wild olive Tree bear good fruit unless it was linked to a true olive tree?  God's true lineage left the earth with the death of Jesus.

 

Lineage is how you keep tradition on earth.  Jesus should have lived, bore children with his character, and his followers truth and during Jesus' time conquer Rome.  If this would have happened, his followers would not have become slaves, crucified or tortured by the Roman Empire for 400 years. This only happened to indemnify the Israelites disbelief in Jesus and killing him.  Jesus was able to finally conquer Rome after his followers sacrifice laid the foundation. 

 

Does killing and shedding blood of God's children sound like God's first plan to bring about peace?  Does this sound like the ONLY solution and first reality of a perfect, peaceful God, and only ideal salvation for His children? 

 

This  is why it is hard for so many people to believe in such a God - but God always gives dual paths in the bible that are dependent on human responsibility or free will.  Blessing or curses.  If Jesus lived he would have been able to lead with his family. 

 

But since not even one follower stood with him as he went to the cross, Jesus had to give up his body - not his spirit - as an alternative to bring only salvation in the spirit.  Yet, Jesus's body was attacked and lost to Satan and this is why we still have sin on the earth.  We only can obtain spiritual salvation. 

 

Who can deny that the Messiah's body was not protected at the end?  Even Jesus' own body suffered attack, therefore so do his followers.  Jesus' death did not bring physical salvation, meaning Jesus did not eradicate a way for us to be born without the protection of being attacked physically by satan.

 

 Who can deny that no matter how devout a faith anyone has they still pass on sin to their children? Our bodies are like a living playground to Satan where diseases, sinful desires. We fight the flesh's desire everyday.  Our bodies are the enemy of God's children. 

 

That is because Jesus was supposed to live and gave his body as a sacrifice, not the first choice.  Then this explains why he has to come back in the same way he came.  In the flesh and rectify the mistakes of 2000 years ago when his followers were faithless and return and this time conquer.

 

Now that the Messiah has returned, in 1920, and left his lineage on earth, you see God has waged a war on Satan and satan's world and satan's ideals are leaving this earth.  This explains why satan is working so hard in these Last Days because he is about to leave this earth and true peace will be dominated in this world as God proposed in Revelations. 

 

This is a happy time as well as a fearful time in these days as your every action decides which side you are on.  Remember, in the Last Days, there will be a true distinction of the sheep and the goats, every moment you choose heaven or hell.  I think hell has had its time on earth, I think it's time God had His Glory, don't you think?

 

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Jesus's Murder Prolongs World Peace 

 

This post is based on the teaching of the Dr. Sun Myung Moon which I had studied his speeches and books for 7 years straight.  There is never an end to the learning, because as I grow, by rereading the material, God reveals more.  The same is true for everyone.

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 and World Peace

A person that is sick seeks a doctor who can cure their ailments.  For people who are in a burning building they wish to be rescued by firefighters.

So who does the Messiah come to rescue and what does he cure?    

Why was the promise of a Messiah in the Old Testament so important?

Also, why was it such a big deal in Revelations about the Messiah returning?  Humanity seems to survive either without the Returned Messiah, right?

The definition of messiah comes in many forms and to different ages.  To Buddhist, Buddha is a messiah and to Muslims, Muhammad is a messiah who brings the truth.  And to Christians, Jesus is a messiah.  Messiah of what?

Jesus is held in a higher position than any other religion, why is this so?

Out of all the billions of people born on this earth, only one was proclaimed to be the first human born as an actualization of God's love.  The previous post slightly touches on how Jesus carried God's bloodline.

 Jesus comes to restore what Adam had lost in the Garden of Eden.  Jesus did not start from the fallen Adam's position he started from a perfected position.  Fallen Adam does not receive God's direct love.

According to the Principle of Creation, God used Adam as a model in order to create Eve. Therefore, unless there is a true man -- according to the law of recreation -- Eve cannot be recreated.  Jesus was the first True Man on earth and reversed Adam's mistake.  Then how can a True Eve be found? Eve must be recreated through Adam.

Through the Messiah Second Coming, a God-centered movement in search of a True Eve appears for the first time on this earth.


Why Does Humanity Need a Messiah?

Jesus was born as a man in order to indemnify every failure after the fall of Adam. The fall was created by a man, the fall is reversed by a man.  However, Jesus cannot fulfill God's will by himself. Even if Jesus made the Israelites in his time understand all of God's will, he could not rebuild a nation by himself alone.  A nation is made of individuals and families.

Jesus already was a true individual, so in order for Jesus to form a True Nation, he had to first form a True Family.

In order to form a True family, Jesus had to find a True Woman who could represent all women on this earth. In other words, he had to find one woman who could represent all the women on the national, world and cosmic levels.  God's loving son must have a partner with whom he could have give and take. 


Where Would Messiah Meet Partner?

 As the result of the fall, Eve's position as a True Daughter was lost on  the physical earth.  Eve's fall was a spiritual and physical mistake.

True Adam and True Eve together represent the reversal of fallen Adam and Eve's act in the Garden of Eden.  The Messiah returns to restore the fallen relationship that occurred between Adam and Eve.  Adam and Eve were parents, who disrupted God's plan for an ideal world of peace.  This happened when they disobeyed His commandment and instead they followed satan's commandments. 

The Messiah comes again to teach God's word that leads to world peace by restoring humanity's first parents.  All humankind inherited Adam and Eve's sinful, tainted blood and each person should follow the Messiah and his bride in order to link to God's direct lineage.  The Marriage Supper of the Lamb refers to True Parents.  Adam and Eve were false parents.


Messiah Was to Find His Bridegroom

All humans born in the past up until now had one hope.  It was to see True Parents and serve them.  God sweat throughout history to restore Adam and Even's mistake.  He worked through Moses, Israel and Judaism in order to send the Messiah.   

What kind of person is the Messiah? 

He represents restored Adam who obeys God commandment.  When the Messiah returns he restores Eve. The Messiah is the True Parent.  The reason God brought the teachings of Christianity was to send the Messiah.

Jesus was born as a physical man with a spirit.  He was born on the earth because Adam who fell was born on the earth.

The Lord will come as the man of character representing Adam before he fell in the Garden of Eden - in other words, Adam before getting married. In the position of Adam in the Garden of Eden before the fall and marriage, the Lord should get married. Therefore, after coming, what did Jesus have to do?

He had to find a woman, the True Daughter.

The Lord returns representing Adam before the fall.  Adam had a bride after the fall - Eve.  Therefore, after Jesus came how was he supposed to restore Eve's position?

Christianity teaches that Jesus was God's True Son - the first man born without sin.  Yet, in all of Christian history no one taught the words God's "True Daughter".  Instead of becoming connected to God's love, Eve fell into Satan's dominion.  She does not completely restore through a restored Adam.  There should appear a restored Eve.


Era of Completion

Moses represents the Old Testament Age, Jesus represents the New Testament Age.  What does the Messiah when he returns represent?

You are now living in the Completion Age.

In other words, at the time of the Second Coming of the Messiah as a True Parent, all the nations in the world must reconcile their brotherhood.

This is why after the Second World War, the victorious nations freed the countries they defeated instead of dominating them.  All events in history are connected to God preparing humanity for the Second Messiah.

All through history societies, nations and the world have been fighting like brothers and sisters who had lost their parents.  Humanity lost their parents in the Garden of Eden.   The hope of sons and daughters is to unite with the lost parents and once more receive the parent's love.

Now is that time. This is the most glorious time for which the children have hoped.  The Last Days does not bring literal fire to the earth.  Rather it is the time that the True Family of God appears.  It is the time when a True Nation and True World emerges living by the heavenly standard of morality. 

It will be the first time on earth that a family will be able to truly teach and be this model citizen.  Until now, so many religions appeared throughout history, bringing the light of the truth. This was in order to set the foundation to receive the True Parents. The True Parents are the perfected and restored Adam and Eve.

All people throughout history and all of creation yearn for the return of the Messiah.  This return will only happen once. 

Will you miss it?  If you interpret the bible literally you will.

After thousands of your ancestors have invested their life for a better world.  You are like a bud - the seed of your good ancestors. We are all blessed and lucky to be born during this Completed Age and to come to know the teachings of the Unification Church. You should know that many of your ancestors dedicated their sincerity so that you could understand this teaching.  It is up to us to follow the Returned Messiah to prevent repeating the past world events.

The True Family has appeared for the first time in human history based on restored Eve and restored Adam.  This is the time when eternal life begins.  This is the starting position of God's ideal which will absolutely bring a world of peace.

Awaited Last Days Brings World Peace

The term "Last Days" originated with Christianity, but a similar concept exists in many religions. Let us think about how the Last Days will occur.

The world which the absolute God plans should be eternal. Once it starts, it must continue eternally. We must imagine that the reason the Last Days are needed in the world which God created is not because God planned for them in the origin of creation, but because of the human fall. The cause of the Last Days is the fact that evil began and goodness could not continue.

Adam and Eve, who were created by a God of goodness, lived in the Garden of Eden, which was also good. If Adam and Eve had not fallen, goodness would have continued eternally. However, because of the fall, goodness ended before it could start and take root.


Satan Stole God's Position and Children

You must understand that even though human beings were created to believe in God's words, our first human ancestors disbelieved, causing death to occur in this world. Another master appeared, who seduced Adam and Eve into disbelieving God's Word and disobeying His commandment.
Because Adam and Eve did not believe God's Word and were seduced by this master, Satan became the lord of this world. Fallen Adam and Eve became the objects of Satan and we lost our gift to become master of God's creation.

As a result of their disbelief, there began a world of destruction and death, which has no relationship to God.

Why did man and woman fall?

They fell because of satanic love.

Then what is satanic or "fallen" love?

It is self-centered love, which separates individuals rather than uniting them.

What, then, would be the nature of the Last Days?

It is the time when all people think of their individual love as absolute. The world's Last Days will occur centering on fallen, impure love. In other words, in the Last Days, individualistic love will be thought of as perfect and absolute. Love for the nation, society and family will be denied, and self-centered love will be approved. Instead of a love based on morality and ethics, animal-like carnal love will be rampant in our world.


Fallen Satanice Love, Not True God-Centered Love

Today, impure love has reached the stage in which neither parents, the nation, nor the world can stop the corrupt sexual acts of young people and solve these problems.

God cannot leave this world as it is. We must make goodness begin once again by restoring this world.

When would the Last Days come?

The phenomena of the Last Days occur when a heavenly person appears to cleanse the world by restoring to goodness the individual, family, clan, tribe, nation and world. In other words, the Last Days occur when a central person appears with the power to eliminate all evil, to remove all the conditions for Satan's accusation, and to transcend to a world of goodness.

The time when we overcome on an individual level is the individual Last Days, when we overcome on the family level is the family-level Last Days and so on up to the world-level Last Days.

Historically, our ancestors came and went. Those who tried to fulfill their responsibility based on God's will always met with failure. Therefore, God made a promise that He would send a world-level representative who would be victorious representing the individual, family, tribe, nation and world and who would appear before Satan with a dignified power.

That one person is indeed the Messiah.

The Lord will come when the evil world, which existed from the beginning of history, is ready to change into a world of goodness. Therefore, the Last Days means the end of one age and the beginning of a new age.

If the literal sun, moon and earth -- which God created -- are destroyed in the Last Days, it would be destruction by Satan, meaning God would have failed.

---

The Last Days will occur, and people without the spiritual eyes to see will not know the time of their visitation. When your watch strikes twelve o'clock, yesterday ends and today starts. But is there anyone who perceives at midnight that "from this instant it is a new day"?

I don't think so, but this does not mean that the time ending the previous day did not arrive.

It is difficult to perceive clearly the end of one day and the start of the next. Soon, autumn will be over and winter will come. However, autumn will end and winter will come without anyone knowing. Is there any elder, even once in his lifetime, recognized clearly the moment the season changed from autumn to winter?

Without our knowing, winter comes, and then spring. However, this does not mean that there is not an end point, or no division between seasons.

You must know that when Adam and Eve fell, they still did not have a clear purpose which allowed them to decide what is good and what is wrong. They also did not yet have the power of dominion or the ability to make the right decisions. The fall occurred when Adam and Eve turned left when they should have turned right. Adam and Eve fell in the midst of confusion, not yet knowing all the facts.
Then when are the Last Days?

When is The Last Days?

The time is now.

This is because it is written in the Bible that when the Last Days come, the world will be divided into sheep and goats. The sheep are the people following the Lord, and the goats are those who are not.

What is the nature of the Last Days? It is the time when everything is so chaotic and confused that people cannot tell the difference between day and night or truth and falsehood. When we look at the world today, we cannot tell whether the people who believe in Jesus are good or those who do not believe in Jesus are good. Sometimes, those people who do not believe in Jesus can be better.

When we compare the communist world and the democratic world, the communist world seems to be externally more dignified and practical than the democratic world. This ideology seems to be able to bring about a peaceful society from the external point of view. 

We have entered an age in which we cannot clearly distinguish what is better from what is worse. You should know that this heralds the Last Days. It is said that history repeats itself . We are entering the age in which we will reap what we have sown.

Why has Satan brought humankind down to this state of corruption? It is because God has been carrying out his providence centered upon love for the whole. In order to hinder God's providence, Satan has no way but to pull man and woman in the opposite direction, and pull them as far away from God's path as possible.

What is Satan's greatest goal?

It is to destroy human love completely. Conversely, God is trying to lead humanity to the original world of love.

Those of you who feel the anxiety of these Last Days, anxious for the coming of the Lord can pray for understanding of this time and direction leading them toward God.

Also, be assured that God did not abandoned us to war one another for eternity and he absolutely will carry out his ideal of creation, which is a dream for world peace.  It is up to humanity to practice their free will which equals to 5% responsibility to choose to go toward a world of goodness.  Therefore, it is up to humanity when this will take place.
