Why Parents Love Their Children

Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Adam and Eve had never fallen?  They would have been able to get all of God's blessings.



by Rev. Sun Myung Moon




They would have been in a position for God to wish them blessing, instead they angered and hurt God beyond belief and curses and sins had entered the world of humanity ever since.

The love of God was the most valuable one among all of the blessings.  The next blessing is to inherit the right of  creation from God.

God felt great happiness after He created Adam and Eve.

God gave humanity the responsibility, the right of creation and a chance to be happy at their creations.  When a couple has children, they get the chance to experience the joy God experienced when He created Adam and Eve.

Why can't you help loving your children?  This is because we inherited this great work of creation from God.  Therefore, we feel the same happiness as God does and we inherit God's right of creation and God's love.

Since man is born because of love, they have the destination to live by love and go back to his father for love.

Since all men originated from the seed of love of their father, then man has to put forth his beautiful branches to the world and make a lot of relationships with others to harvest the seed of love.  This is the responsibility of man on this earth.

This seed of love contains every element of love for wife, parents, children and Heaven.

Man lives as the seed lives.

God gave man life to harvest such an outcome on earth.

Then, after fulfilling their responsibility, God will reap men.  Why is it that parents sacrificially love their children more than children love the parents?

This is because parents are in the vertical range of love to their children and they are vertically connected to each other.

Even animals naturally sacrifice their lives for the sake of their young so they can establish a vertical relationship of love.

Also, man must also build the vertical relationship of love even at the cost of their life. Their life is in the horizontal position.

A husband and wife are in a horizontal relationship with each other.
 

They are also required to love God more than they love their own parents.


Love is in the vertical position while the love of husband and wife is in the horizontal position.

When they keep loving each other, the they establish a horizontal relationship with each other.  In the same way, parents should love their children more than they love their partner.

Then this creates vertical love. Without doing so, it is impossible to make the vertical love.

It is said that Parents should love their children as they love God.  By centering on the parents and God, then the family, tribe, race, nation and world will be connected to the other.  This is the beginning of World Peace.

The word 'relationship' only makes sense when there is a a relative object and a subject make a mutual relationship with each other.

The subject and object partners need to have something in common or else they cannot make a relationship.
When you desire something, you want something better than what you already possess.  A subject and object both pursue something better together giving and receiving each other.

In giving and receiving, giving is more valuable than receiving. 

A subject and object give and receive for the greater purpose.

No one gives or receives something that causes damage.  Parents do not love their children based on getting some reward, but so they can love their children on a higher spiritual level in every way.

Parents love their children because they hope to reach a greater standard and goal of life.  Parents love their children with hopes that they will be needed by the people, the nation and the world and an even greater being.

They also hope their children become people they, the parents themselves can need.

Parents do not love their children just for their own sake, but for something greater.  This is parents' love toward their children.

Children are a reflection of their parents.

Sons and daughters are born in their parents' love, therefore, they are like one body with their parents.

Parents can't help but love their children because their children are a reflection of their parents themselves.  You life and your parents' life are mingled with love.

Plant Our True Heart in the Original Homeland

If we ask what is our main goal while walking this course of faith toward bringing the world back to God's original homeland, what would that be?

What is the main goal of all of us fighting this spiritual battle for God and humanity?


What are all people of faith looking for?  


It can't just be to have their own goal to reach heaven.  To find a place just where only we and our family can settle.

It should be broader than that.

The true goal of people of faith has been to fight to find the true family, which is opposite of the current trend of disunity and divorces within families.

An individual cannot come to rest within a broken family.

Moreover, without the larger unit of a tribe, then the family does not have a place to settle all the way up to the national and world level.

The highest level most of us can work toward is the family level.  But without the tribe which creates a stage upon which to act as a fence to block any offensive substances, the family can fall apart with the first blow. For this to be so, you must become the head of the family among your relatives. Once you are head of the family, then your relatives will fight in times of battle. Only then can you take a rest while commanding them. That is why I have told you to take up the mission as representatives of the messiah to your tribe.  Until now, in reality, you have lived away from home. Now, you must go look for your hometown. You must break into tears and put your whole heart into your hometown. Just as the Israelites lived in Egypt for four hundred years as slaves, this movement has done the same within the first forty years.  Now, we must return to our hometown and let love take root. You must love God, your parents, and your brothers and sisters. You must disconnect the source by which the worldwide Satan can falsely accuse you. Even after God worked to build a foundation through the Israelites, they failed to establish the ideal heavenly kingdom in the blessed land of Canaan because they could not remove that source. Therefore, do not expect anything from the satanic world. You must go forward, progressing by digesting the villages and marching proudly with an outcry of love. With this in mind, I want you to fight onward. I can give you the right of inheritance and the right of having the same position as I have because you have the name of being true children before True Parents. You must trust this privilege given by God and invest everything within the realm of love. With your total investment, your family will resurrect from the chains of satanic dominion.  The nation will resurrect with the revival of the family. In the hometown where your parents have been buried, you can plant new seeds that all the fields and mountains praise the value of all those who sacrificed and bow their heads to them. When flowers bloom from seeds, you must designate the first flower as God's flower, the second as the Parents' flower, the third as your eldest son's flower and the fourth and fifth as your own flowers. Can you you live this righteous life casually? Of course not! At this time, you are in the same position as the Israelites who have gone into the blessed land of Canaan. Do not be envious of those who are rich when you return to your hometown. Do not envy people with power and authority!  Do not be spoiled.  You must educate the people correctly. The tradition of loving God, loving your future generations and loving your race in the position of Israel is the best. Those who embrace your children and bring them to church should not be absorbed by the secular way of life. With joy of returning back to your hometown, you should soak the land with your blood, sweat of hard work and tears along with the cries of your cells and bones. The land should receive the title of divine land, which has been dampened with God's blood and tears. This is where the heavenly kingdom will unfold. You must restore your homeland and restore them.  The Israelites could not accomplish that. Having returned from being a group of beggars for forty years, the Israelites were envious of the seven tribes of Canaan who ate and lived very well while they lived in tents.  In this situation, they ended up selling off God and the nation to end their suffering and pitiful situations. To love people, you start with the pitiable person first, love the most pitiable child and move up to the middle-aged people. There are many conscientious people among the secular people.  We should love those who live in the most poorest living conditions. Even though they are in the devil's world, people who can inherit God's fate will emerge from their ranks. What should you do upon returning to your hometown? You must inspire the people to unite into one with you.  This method is rather simple. Your son should become a teacher who teaches the heavenly tradition and show by example what actions will bring about the heavenly nation. The mother and the father should show other mothers and fathers in the neighborhood what ways the heavenly nation will come. This is what we must do.  It is simple: You must form a family of love in which the husband loves the wife and the wife loves the husband.  The parents love the children and the children love the parents, and you hand it all down. I have walked such a path in order to stand in the position of the global ancestor. You should be aware of the fact that you must go on the path to inherit the tradition that corresponds to you, the tradition for you to become the tribal ancestor. You must set a tradition on which your tribe and family will follow.  Those who think only of themselves will not be included. You must plant your true heart in your homeland.  The Fall was the inability to lay a foundation of heart. You must be the head family of your tribe. God is the Abel of the universe.  The world's people are in the position of Cain before God. Since God has led the providence of restoration through servants of servants, adopted children and true children, we must then inherit that tradition and go to our tribe and present this tradition we have built as a foundation for the true way of life and work to win hearts in the secular world. This will not take long - three years at most. Our Task for This Time Period What does every person hope for? They want to welcome the returning Lord and his bride before establishing the global nation. This will begin from your new sons and daughters who are born connected to the true blood lineage of the Messiah's lineage. Therefore, the True Parents are the starting point of the new future. Let us testify about True Parents  How does everything end? The coming of the True Parents is the hope of all humankind throughout history because it is the conclusion of the evil sovereignty on earth. This time has never before existed and will not exist again. If we think in terms of the eternal world, our life on earth lasts only as long as the time it takes to draw in one breath.  What kind of people are the True Parents? They are the symbol of hope, the symbol of absolute hope for the fallen, suffering humankind.  They are the fruit of history, the center of time and nations of the world. True Parents are the starting point of the future that can connect to the ideal world we all hope for. Let us take into consideration the name of True Parents.  They are the starting point of a new world. We started the world based on the false parents Adam and Eve who did not follow God's law.  True Parents come to the earth to reverse the mistake of the first parents. Through them, the internal relationship is formed by which Satan can subjugate and God can be liberated from Satan who possess the external world. Therefore, you should be grateful first and foremost for living at this time in the presence of this amazing grace of being able to live together with the True Parents and live according to their direction. Everyone has the hope to meet True Parents, who are the ones for you to meet even when you walk the road of death. When you meet the Parents, you will restore your ancestor's fallen history, the age and the future which has been lost. This is the meaning of True Parents. When you are able to completely be one with the True Parents, the true nation, tribe, race, and family will come into being. True Parents are the manifestation of value that equal to the glory found in heaven and earth.  Would you exchange the True Parent for money? Would you exchange them for life? That is why it is different from before. No matter where you go, you must find your way to Korea to attend the True Parents. It is the same for your sons and daughters and descendants of thousands and tens of thousands of years. Therefore, this movement is different and unique. Q. What really are the true parents we speak about? Truly think for a moment. If the first ancestors of humankind had followed God's command and were never kicked out of the Garden of Eden what kind of people would Adam and Eve be? They would not have fallen, they would have been linked directly to God's true love, true blood lineage and way of life. Adam and Eve would have become perfected and would have been God's body.  That means they would have become the body of God.  God is like the bones and Adam and Eve are the flesh. God also has a mind and a body. God would have been the internal parents and Adam and Eve would have been the external parents. Based on the unity of God and humankind's love, the true parent, the perfected person was to emerge. There is no perfect person without the cooperation in love. Let us attend True Parents' picture in every family You become a family of the heavenly kingdom just by putting up True Parents' picture and the flag of the Unification Church. I mean that I will make you the family of the heavenly kingdom. That is why there are a number of people who suffered disasters, such as being struck by lightning after grumbling about having to put up flags. There was an incident in which someone broke his finger pointing at me and had to repent and pray for several nights to recover. Why do these incidents occur? The power of an individual cannot block the advancing heavenly fortune.  In the Unification Church, those of you bowing in honor to the True Parents photograph or the flag will live during these Last Days. In the Old Testament, everyone who gazed upon the staff which Moses held were saved. By putting up the UC flag, it signals to members who pass by that it is okay to enter your house, and rest if they are tired or have lunch. If they are hungry before they continue on their journey. You should always be prepared to receive guests.  You should make such preparations on behalf of True Parents. Since you cannot attend the True Parents daily in person, you should attend their picture. You should attend your guests as if they were True Parents.  This practicing connects equalization to the highest heavenly standard. This is why you should attend your guests as if they were God or True Parents. Such a person will surely receive blessings. I am very famous. Everyone acknowledges that I am a patriot living for the sake of the nation. Moreover, the whole world has honored my achievements. So if people come to say, "Since we have put True Parents' picture up, my wife and I cannot quarrel in front of it," and tell their children, "You should not do such things in front of Rev. Moon," what is wrong with that? Because you are revering it more than the photograph of your own parents, your ancestors will come and also revere True Parents as their ancestors. It will become an altar where ancestors can come and hold a service for the household. The way to receive heavenly blessing has been opened up due to this kind of attendance. Then, even after you have fallen asleep at three o'clock in the morning, your ancestors will chase out all of the evil spirits from around the home. Moses led the Israelites away from the Pharaoh of Egypt. At that time all of the firstborn of the Egyptians were smitten, while the Israelites avoided this calamity by smearing the blood of a lamb on the their doorposts. Thus, the spirit world is watching over you and will protect you. Then Moses guided them to Canaan by enacting great works and miracles. When the Israelites were about to leave the land of Egypt, they were able to avoid calamity of the smiting of the first born through smearing the blood of the lamb on doorposts. In the same way, carrying a picture with True Parents, will protect you.  Spirit world can recognize the picture even if it is in your pocket. Now my fame has gone beyond national borders. I have heard that many statesmen in various places have put my picture on the wall of their study and pay their respects to it. You probably have experienced that there is a mysterious side to my smile, like that of the Mona Lisa. I believe that most of you probably are experiencing hundreds of thousands of ways of viewing my mysterious features. At certain times, I appear to look like this and other times like that. This is because at different times the spirit world is cooperating with you in different ways. I think most of you experience this. Those in the spirit world all know me. So when they see this picture, would those in the spirit world like it or dislike it? Your ancestors can be connected with the picture as the medium. I want you to know that's how good it is. Let's do revival services for our tribes There should be a family revival service in the future based on your family.   Those services represent the entire tribe.  You should think that such a revival service represents not just the Korean tribe, but tribe members of Blessed Families here around the world.  You do not know what a blessing it is to hold a revival service representing the world centering on the tribal foundation, with Korea as its base.  Everything depends on how much you think for the sake of others and on your own efforts.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Attend the Messiah to Liberate Your Sin

This post was rewritten and derived from Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book Thirteen,  Chapter 4, Secion 4,5

We Are Brothers, Sisters Without Parents

Throughout history, mankind has exerted all kinds of efforts to bring about world peace through war, religion, philosophy and political powers to no avail.

People had no way to truly and eternally unite.

This is because they were all brothers and sisters who were like orphans who have lost their parents to teach the true way of how one should be.

Humankind lost their parents when the first parents of humankind followed the wrong direction and could not pass down God's true path for living to their descendants on to us.

There was no way to unite our own minds and bodies centered on God without any trace of sin.  Therefore, there was not a path to unite with one another.

If parents had truly followed God and had sinless children, everything in history would have developed through the unconditional love of the original parents.

The first brothers and sister, Cain and Abel, would have united centered on their parents' love, but this could not be achieved.

Adam and Eve were unable to show their family the true love of God through example.

Everyone needs True Parents no matter what position they hold.

The reason God established the nation of Israel and the Jewish faith was in order to build a sturdy foundation of protection to receive the Messiah.

When the Jewish people could not follow Jesus to the end and could not follow him as God's son, God created Christianity in order to receive the Lord of the Second Advent.

The returning Lord will be called the True Parents because they will reverse the mistake of the fall of the first parents who brought sin into the bloodline.

For True Parents to appear is the hope of humankind, is the hope of history, the hope of the nations, the hope of philosophy, and the hope of the providence.

The True Parents coming to earth is what all of history has hoped for to reverse the sins of humanity and will only happen once.

You are alive to witness and breathe the same air as the True Parents.

What kind of people are the True Parents?

Do you think your parents are the same as True Parents without a trace of sin?

In terms of love, your parents have a different concept.

Your parents' love is centered on the earthly realm of living, while the love of True Parents teaches about love that is centered on the spiritual ream.

Therefore, the content is very different.

Democracy is an ideology of brotherhood.  Above that ideology is the parent-centered ideology.

Do you decide who will be your parents through an election?  You cannot.

Democracy has the basis to foster atmosphere of distrust.  Why?

Because people in politics have done all kinds of things for their own profit.  They use their money to mobilize manpower, plot against each other, slander them and so forth.

True Parents give birth to humankind through true love

You have been born with the sinful blood lineage of false parents who were chased away from Heaven with no connection to God or true parents.

In order to go in the opposite direction and cleanse this fallen lineage, you must trample that lineage again and again and pull it out again and again.

Without changing your satanic lineage at the most basic level in this way, you cannot enter the heavenly world.

In transforming the lineage, unless the condition for victory is fulfilled through binding God's love to the seed of the children of the future, God's child cannot be born in the future.  This is a logical certainty.

What kind of savior is the savior who is demanded by the fallen people?

He should be one with God's will and receive God's love and blessing in the position of unfallen parent.  He must be the savior who is able to give birth to humankind, otherwise people will not be able to disconnect to the original sin with him as the model to follow.

Even though the Messiah can change your lineage, you yourself have to attend, act and walk the bloody path in order to change it.

If you do not have such a standard, we cannot reach the path of salvation.  This is not achieved easily, but only in a situation where your life is at stake.

This change of blood lineage is possible only when you fulfill a forty-day fasting and prayer condition or experience a state of death in which you are vomiting blood - a cleansing of the sinful blood.

Why do we need True Parents?

We need to take root in the realm of the heart.

Now, there is a different root.  Through the Fall, the trunks and branches become different.  Now a new root of history has emerged.  A trunk and branches grew, and you are being engrafted to this true tree.

Therefore, in order to be recreated without traces of the fall, you should cut yourself down, reject your fallen acts and become engrafted.

You must remove everything from the satanic world down to the root.

Because history did not have the example of a perfected person, a person without the trace of the fall, there was no way for humanity to go in the right direction or see that their ways were fallen.

They needed an example of the true way to follow and that is through the coming of the True Parents.

What do we all desire?

We all want to welcome the True Parents who will establish a global nation.  Your sons and daughters would want to be born in the lineage of True Parents, not your own fallen, sinful lineage full of abuse, lies, disease problems and such.

Therefore, True Parents become the starting point of the new future.

True Parents should correct the false lineage, the root of the satanic world, reverse the false life which we live everyday, and open the true path away from the path of false love.

Once false love disappears, infidelity, divorce will disappear.

What does the paradox in the Bible mean, those who wish to die will live, and those who wish to live will die?

This is because as you walk this path of ridding yourself of the satanic blood lineage you must die, your humanistic, sinful self must die. But through this 'death', you live.

Those who cling to their fallen ways and live, ultimately die in spirit.  The world is full of people who are zombies without a soul enriched in God's love.

True Parents walked a tremendous path of suffering to lay a foundation for you and I to follow out of hell.

Complete salvation, which is no connection to satan or sin, is only possibly through True Parents.  Complete salvation is both spiritual and physical.

Jesus could only accomplish the spiritual realm of salvation, but he himself lost his own physical body to satan.

True Parents have brought salvation to our bodies as well, where we can have complete mind and body unity centered on God where Satan cannot invade.

No one can sever the relationship between True Parents and their True Children.

It is eternal and unchanging destiny.  There is only one path toward God, there is no secret method.  All of humanity from the President to the homeless man, must walk this path.

True Parents bring people of the world together who have walked this path to cleanse their fallen blood lineage and marry them together.

Therefore, they transcend racial differences, cultural differences and good people marry bad people.

True Parents deny evil love, evil life, and evil lineage, but they do not abandon Cain who disobeyed God and killed Abel, rather they bless him at the same level.

Therefore, 'bad' people as well will join in this dispensation, thereby completely expelling Satan from this earth.

The Fall occurred through the false marriage in the Garden of Eden. So, True Parents reverse this by marrying people in the proper way approved directly by God.

They sweep away the bad deeds of the false parents and abolish hell and carry out the work to bless billions of ancestors in the spirit world through the foundation of the earthly descendants which is based on true love.

Furthermore, through the foundation of such families, East and West form a connection.

We as God's adopted sons and daughters should connect to God's true son.

We must cut off the wild olive tree and engraft a bud from the true olive tree.  Then create a movement of wild olive trees becoming true olive trees.

You should first long for the Parents.

You receive salvation by attending the Parents based on their being your motivation for life, the entirety of your hope and the root of all your ideals and happiness.

You should have the conviction that you are a son or daughter who can become eternally one with True Parents.  Otherwise rebirth will not come.

You might think that you have your natural parents and you are fine?

Why do you need spiritual parents?

It is because you are fallen and you have no direct relationship or blood ties with God, thus passing on the fallen blood lineage of Satan.

What do false parents teach?

They have taught you the way to continuously deteriorate centered on yourself.

They have helped you chase away the better part, more than half of yourself.  This creates a clear line that keep you eternally bonded to the satanic world based on the false love of your parents.

There is no other way to cut this off other than attending the True Parents.

On the other hand, True Parents teach you greater and greater things on this foundation so that you can be fit for the heavenly kingdom.

They equip you with the tools so that you can keep in rhythm after you go to the eternal kingdom.  They teach you so that you will be able to breathe the air of love which is the atmosphere in the spirit world.

True Parents teach you the true way of God.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: How Can Love Destroy? This Post was rewritten and derived from the book Cheon Seon Gyeon Book Three, "True love", Chapter 2, Section 2

The Love of a True Parent

What is a true parent?

Is there a nation where there are true parents, true families leading lives fully based on God's will?  Where did this position of humanity begin?

Imagine if Eve had resisted Lucifer's advances and then later did not tempt Adam. If they decided to live in accordance to God's will and waited until they had matured to eat of the fruit, what kind of individuals would they be?

The fruit, which was the sexual organs which bear the fruit of children, was not lethal when it was fully matured, but could cause death in its immaturity.  If they had waited until God's direction, been blessed by God into a pure marriage and never left the Garden of Eden or Heaven what would have happened?

They would have become perfect individuals who would have been God's external body.   

God is like the bone and Adam and Eve like the flesh. 

Did you know God has a mind and body?

If Adam and Eve had become perfect in God's true love, God becomes the internal parent and Adam and Eve would be the external parents, who become intertwined through love.

This union of God and human beings in love would have resulted in true parents.  

Without this unity in love, there cannot be a perfect person.  The results of not becoming true parents and severing our direct ties and lineage to God, is the world which we currently live today.

Sinless true ancestor and savior of humankind

What has history, this age and the future been searching for?  True parents connected to God's direct blood lineage.

If we are unable to meet true parents, then we cannot find true happiness in the course of history or in the universe.  A happiness that is eternal, not only experienced for moments.

What kind of people are people who are True Parents?

They symbolize the hope for all fallen people.  They bring hope because they have reversed the mistakes of the Fall and carry God's true blood lineage on the earth.  They symbolize what humanity can finally become.

They are the fruit of history, the center of the age, and the starting point for the future where human beings can connect God's direct blood lineage.

True Parents govern history.

Through True Parents, we can return to the new, original world.  We can finally subjugate Satan completely and eradicate him from this earth.

True Parents conquered Satan and finally liberated God and resolved His sorrow and suffering.

We should be grateful for this amazing grace with which we live together with True Parents and attend them and honor their commands.

The hope of humankind is to meet True Parents. 

You should meet the True Parents even though you must walk the path of death to lay the foundation to do so.

You walk the same bloody path with your own sweat and tears for you and your ancestors to return to the original position before the Fall.

Even if you may lose all of history and all of your descendants, once you meet True Parents, you will regain history and the future.  True Parents are such people.

No one can follow this path of restoring themselves and history without shedding tears.  

You should shed tears for God and True Parents.

You shed tears walking this thorny path until now in order to save humankind.  Reversing every fallen element in your family's history is not an easy task.

But how can we even think about restoring the world when we cannot conquer ourselves?

The world is composed of individuals and families, thus for world restoration, this is the beginning point, ourselves.

You should understand how amazing it is that I have come to this earth with the name of the True Parent. What are the most blessed words among all the words in the world?

For fallen people, the words True Parents are the words of greatest blessing, greater than regaining a nation or the world after it has been lost. You should know that these words are more precious than anything it heaven and earth.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon



Just imagine if you were raised by True Parents, without sin how radically different your experiences in life would have been being raised under God's complete protection and dominion.

Just the simple use of the words True Parents can command history.  The same as the power of Jesus' name.

Who can count the many saints, sages and good people of history who have had to walk this path of sacrifice in order to establish this phrase on the earth?

Up until now, the world consisted of just brothers and sisters fighting one another who have lost their true parents.

Even though the world is full of leaders and presidents, we are all just children who have lost their parents to teach the true way.

The name established on earth holds hope after going through the bloody strife, struggles and screaming is the name of True Parents.  Before there are True Parents, True Children must appear.

Do you think that you have become True Children before the True Parents or God?

That which is true does not change in the past, present or in the future.

Since God has worked throughout history to restore His children back to their unfallen state, it can be seen as a history to establish the True Parents.

Children need direction on earth, wouldn't it make sense that you would need parents that have God's direction, who cannot be attacked by Satan, to set a standard by which to follow?

From the time of Cain and Abel, who God had tried to reverse the Fall through Cain's offering and humbleness to his brother, but failed through murdering him, Heaven has been fulfilling the providence to realize these True Parents.

Whoever opposes or interferes with the fundamental providence to realize this purpose will be deserted in front of the heavenly principle and eventually perish.

The Messiah is the True Man who takes a bride and become True Parents.

This is what is meant in the Bible as the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.  We are therefore, to destined to become the true children.

When the Messiah comes to the earth, even though he comes as an individual, he is not just one person.  His value is such that he is the fruit of all the religions, the fruit of all hopes of humankind and the fruit of the love desired by all humankind.

The Messiah holds the key to all of the world's problems, false love and false lineage.  He bequeaths this knowledge and blood lineage to God's children in order to restore them back to their original position.

Everything connects to this fruit: the past, present and the future are connected to him; furthermore, the individual, family, tribe, nation and world are also connected to him as well as heaven and earth.

The Messiah must carry out the role of True Parent when he comes to the earth.

This was the main purpose for Jesus coming to earth - not to leave an example of how to be a True Son and a true brother, but to leave not only God's true blood lineage but how to be a True Father, True Husband and True Parent through his true marriage.

The Messiah is the Horizontal Father and God is the vertical Father.  He is the only vertical Father. Christianity says that Jesus was God, but this is not correct in the physical sense, but yes, Jesus acquired God's qualities and power, but he was not the same entity. Jesus is not the same spirit who created earth from the beginning.

There is only one vertical (spirit) Father, Jesus was to become the horizontal(earth) father.

You should know that until the appearance of True Parents on this earth, there had been many tearful stories in the background that you cannot even imagine. I don't know how many tears I have shed without you knowing about it. Only God understands this. 


True Parents who do not have the trace of the fallen, sinful blood lineage, become the ancestors of humankind even though they are on the earth today.  Thus, you should attend True Parents just as you do your own.

True Parents come to the earth to restore human beings and make you into True Parents - little True Parents - of your own clan.  This is how the world will eventually be restored.

Where does true love begin?

True love begins from the True Parents.  Even though "husband" and "wife" are good words, there is no better words than that of True Parents.

Without the appearance of True Parents, there there is no true husband or wife that can appear in the fallen world.  We must understand this.


Why do we need True Parents?

Since the True Parents reversed the acts of the Fall by carrying God's direct blood lineage and following God's words, the connection to true love has been completed for the first time in history.

This connection to God's direct lineage and being is unprecedented in history and will not be repeated in the future.

There is only one set of True Parents, one origin.  Even though we are destined to become true parents, the first True Parents are the first ancestors of humankind and cannot be replaced.

It is the same as if they were the first Adam and Eve and those who connect to them fall in order after that.

The love that your mother and father are engaged in right now is not true love.

God's original ideal for the world is realized through the creation of True Parents.  

This is the place where we meet our lost parents, our lost true parents.

All the saints have fought to bring this foundation to earth.  There have been many junctures throughout history, but this is the most valuable one.

The Fall made human beings Satan's descendants. Therefore, we must reestablish the True Parents who are on the side of heaven and have God's descendants.

We must be fully reborn through connecting to the True Parents pure love. This is the only way that we will be recreated and become citizens of heaven on earth.

God absolutely needs the True Parents.  Many people of faith wonder why God could not just accomplish world restoration in one swipe.

Without the True Parents on earth, even the omnipotent God is unable to fulfill the providence of restoration of the world by Himself.   

Without True parents, the realm of the archangels cannot find value in their work to support the realization of God's will on earth.  You need True Parents to stand directly before God.

When you look at the history of humankind, you can see how God worked through major wars, suffering and such to lay a foundation for the sake of the world to receive the True Parents.

All the religions have been seeking such parents, the world and nations have been seeking True Parents.

Become Part of God's Direct Lineage

We have spoken in many posts about how Adam and Eve were suppose to become true parents. They were to attain true oneness centered on God and pass their pure blood lineage on generation after generation.

These true sons and true daughters who are born into God's direct blood lineage would fulfill God's ideal world full of peace.

As we know from the biblical account, the first ancestors formed a bond with Satan and thus became the satanic ringleaders giving birth to children of death born into sin.

Therefore, you and I are fallen ancestors.


If we are not true parents, this means we are false parents still passing on the lineage of the fall nonstop.

We are in the point of history where humankind must deny this false lineage of false parents and find the true parents who do not have any trace of the fall.

They carry God's direct lineage.  This has been God's Providence of Restoration, restoring the fallen world, since the moment of the Fall.

The Hope of Fallen People

Even if they are not aware of it, all fallen people have a deep desire to meet God's true son.

Even the communist nation had the notion of a world of peace; we all have a deep desire for peace.

They lament that they were born as Cain's children through a fallen blood ties with Satan.  We each can feel the internal conflict between our separated minds and bodies.

Imagine if Abel and Cain had united in their offering and Abel or even Jesus was to have children.

They would have been born on God's side.  Yet, mankind has suffered greatly while seeking God's true son at the individual level and family level.

God sent the Messiah; if people had received the Messiah they could have found God's son.  The time of the Messiah was to convey the joyful news that humankind could finally meet God's son up to the national level.

You and I were born with sinful, fallen blood inherited from Satan.  We have to meet God's son who can transcend all of the accusations of Satan which holds each of us down.

Then we would meet him as our parent after he fulfilled Messiahship on the individual level.  We have been raised by fallen, sinful parents, not true parents no matter how well they are, they carry the fallen bloodline of Satan.

Therefore, we seek true parents whom God directly loves and is connected in lineage.

Next, we must seek the family that those parents create.

After that, we must seek God's love upon finding it, we can meet God.  So, when the Messiah returns, he will perfect himself on the individual level, find a true bride, create a true family of true children that carry the direct lineage of God without any trace of the fall.

We should be aware that this is the pathway of humankind.  If parents and children who live a life worthy of God's love form families, they automatically prosper.

They will sing songs of love in a setting that can bring success to everything through harmonized families.  When this happens, a race centering on God's love will automatically be formed.

Is this a dream or is this where humankind is headed?  Will this standard of world peace be found through political ties, force, war, science or philosophy?

This standard must be found through religion.

If a true family becomes the model for the world to live is not established, then an ideal family, tribe, people nation and world will not be established.

Humanity needs a model of how to live such as shown through religions such as Jesus, Buddah who accomplished much on the individual level.

What is our ideal desire and hope?

This is the conclusion: first, attend God as our Father is our greatest hope; second, we are to become His beloved sons and daughters; and third, we are to inherit everything He owns.

What other human hope is greater than this?

The Goal of Restoration is Adam's Family

Our goal as we walk the path of restoring the world of peace, is to establish Adam's true family.

Immediately after Adam and Eve fell, God launched His providence to restore them through their children Cain and Abel.

That foundation was lost when Cain (representing Satan's side) killed Abel (representing God's side).

Therefore, the providence passed from Adam's family to Noah's family, building a foundation for His providence by annihilating all humankind through the flood judgment establishing a family that transcended above Satan's accusations.

Noah lost that foundation of building the Ark through his sons not completely following him and doubting him and covering his naked body when he was drunk after his successfully accomplished God's will.  

Again, this task was passed on through several saints: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and Jesus down to the Second Coming.

Through each age, a condition failed to be completely set in order to eradicate sin from the earth.  This caused each time period to elongate and the conditions were of a greater indemnity each time.

What has God sought until now?  He has been seeking an ideal object partner, not a subject partner.

God has been searching for one who resembles Him and has the same inner and outer qualities of the world He created.

What is the starting point?  The family.

Nothing else can represent the universe better than the family.

Then where will history conclude?

With substantial true children and true parents; it concludes at the level of the family.  This is the basics of the universe.

Without parents, then children cannot be born.  Children should inherit and have dominion over all things centering on the parents.  Adam and Eve were meant to rule over all things.

This principle applies to everything.

Through the six thousand years of God's Providence He has sought to establish a family through which they would be His true object partner.

Family is indispensable in the formation of a nation.

The basis of everything is the family.

Since the first family was destroyed, it is our responsibility to restore it.

Jesus had been born on earth as the unfallen Adam. Therefore , he was the second Adam.  Since Adam, who was the first ancestor of humankind, became a fallen ancestor, God sent Jesus who was the true ancestor to reverse Adam's mistake and start anew.  

We must establish Adam's family centering on such true ancestors. 

The Bible testifies of the Fall of the first human ancestors. 

This occurred between two people, Adam and Eve.

If after Eve and the archangel gave into the fruit of evil, Adam had refused to eat the fruit, then the problem would have been simple to reverse.  In such a case, God as the Creator would have re-created her.

Why did God have to restore the world starting from a family?  Because this is where everything went wrong.  

Evil began in the human world from the first human ancestor's family.

Humanity experienced a loss of God, the expulsion of the angelic world, the loss of the perfect world of creation and the loss of the value and love of humankind.  This all occurred through an unprincipled union of a man and woman in Adam's family.

All religions show a way to individual salvation, especially Christianity, but they do not represent perfection.

This is just a rudimentary form of salvation that is just the beginning, the very first step on the road to complete spiritual and physical salvation.  

The goal of salvation has family salvation as its unit; individual salvation is the beginning.  These families can lead the world and bear responsibility even for world salvation.  

Our life of faith should have the highest ideal of realizing families with such a realm of heart is firmly established.

The Restored Family Was to Be Realized by Jesus

What was Jesus' main purpose for being born?

He came to establish a true family centered on God.

This history of salvation from Cain and Abel to Jesus is the history of restoration.

This is where those who are sick need to be healed.  Jesus came in order to save fallen people and open  a pathway directly to heaven.  

What is salvation?  Since the family was destroyed, it must be restored.

How do we restore the fallen family?  We must return to the original position that was lost because the original family was destroyed.  

Humankind is sick and needs healing.

God absolutely conducts Himself according to principles and laws.

Since Adam was lost, he must be recovered from the satanic world.  Adam had the responsibility to dominate and possess Eve, but he failed his role as a husband and she was taken by Satan.

Thus, she must be recovered from the satanic world.

Will this be done easily without a struggle?

God worked throughout the ages to lay family, religious and national foundations to restore Adam and Eve.

He established Joseph's and Zechariah's families.  

Then if Jesus, who was from Joseph's family and John the Baptist from Zechariah's family had united, God's will would have been fulfilled in a short time.

What if John the Baptist would not have questioned later on that Jesus was the one they were looking for and followed him?

Also, what if Jesus was to receive Zachariah's daughter as a bride and they start a true family with God's direct blood lineage reversing the sinful blood lineage on earth?  Jesus would have become True Father bearing True Children of God's blood lineage.

Then the will of God would have been fulfilled.

Such fundamental facts such as these are immediately opposed by Christians.  They cry and argue over it.  But it will be to no avail.

Those who oppose these facts will realize that this is the truth when they pass on to the spirit world.

God planned for Adam and Eve to achieve unity as substantial father and mother and complete the perfection of a family of love, which is God's ideal of creation.

God did not create this world to be full of evil, struggle and broken families.  To conceive of such an ideal for a perfect God is hurtful to the work of restoring the world.

Yet, since this was not accomplished, Jesus had to come in order to complete it.

Jesus came as the bridegroom to receive his bride.  Then, if the Israelites  had united with God and restored the position of the perfected Adam in the Garden of Eden and bonded in that love, then nobody could have made them repeat the Fall.

What was God's will?

It was for Adam and Eve to establish the standard of perfection of man and woman and establish God's family based on love.  Was this accomplished in Adam and Jesus' time?

God's family was not established.

Jesus understood and believed in this aspect of God's will.  But because the Jewish people could not follow and believe that Jesus was the son of God, Israel's four-thousand year foundation for Jesus collapsed.

Therefore, Jesus died a miserably death on the cross as God's second path toward only half salvation - spiritual not physical.  Even Jesus lost his physical body to Satan, but brought spiritual salvation to earth.

If death was God's first and only choice, Jesus would have gladly went the way of the cross, instead he asked God if it was His will to let this cup pass and he lamented to forgive them for they know not what they do.

If the Jewish people accepted Jesus and God's will, he would have lived to start a family and pass on God's true blood lineage through true children.  Followers would have been able to engraft to Jesus' true blood lineage and start true families.  Heaven on Earth would follow thereafter.

Through the cross, Jesus lost his physical body to Satan, but was able to bring spiritual salvation to mankind.  This was not God's original intention for bringing Jesus to that time.

Until now, who has been able to truly understand this heart-wrenching situation?

No one!

Since this is the case, how glad Jesus must be to witness this being taught for the first time.

Without Jesus' family being established, the will of God remained unfulfilled.

Without a God-centered family carrying God's pure blood lineage, neither the nation nor the world could be restored.

As a bridegroom, Jesus must find his bride.

This is the reason Jesus' mission must be returned to this earth to center the providence on one man that true parents, true couples and true siblings can emerge.

This will be decisively fulfilled through the prophesied Marriage of the Supper of the lamb in the Last Days.

Having Family Brings Completeness

After reading several posts here, you have come to realize that the world we live in today is not the original world God had planned for humanity if you had any questions beforehand.

Opposite of popular belief, God did not create the evil society as a part of His creation.

Therefore, God planned that humanity would mature into perfection and only have a taste of His pure love.

Through this, God would have worked through Adam and Eve in order to govern the creation through them.

We know that this did not happen.

What a glorious new morning it will be when God is finally able to assume a physical body through a perfected being.  That will be the time He can love His grandchildren.  This will be more glorious than the time that He can love his sons and daughters.

God could only work and communicate with us through mediators such as angels and prophets.

How much joy do you think God expressed after millions of years in wait for the fruits of His labor to be born?

God had to teach Adam about His own parental joy, but this can only be learned when the children have their own sons and daughters.

Children have no understanding of what parental love is like, but they do understand after they have their own babies and family.

They can understand that their parents loved them while raising them.  Therefore, the day when it is your child's turn to take a spouse is a day of glory.

Also, the day your child has a child is a day of glory.

God's Blessing Allows You to Inherit Love and Joy

You should learn your parents' love and learn how to serve them.

You should experience the conjugal love with your spouse and learn how to serve them.

You should also know children's love.  Do not just give out orders to your children, but learn how to understand and serve them well.  This is the only way that you can understand God's love.

You will stay in the the feeling of an incomplete state as long as you are without children.  You will not be able to fully understand God's love.

You will not understand how much God loved human beings, His children and the heart that He felt at losing His children at the time of the fall.

Furthermore, without being a husband, you cannot know the wife.  Without being a wife, you cannot know the husband.

Children do not know what parents' love is like until they themselves become parents.  So, without sons and daughters, you cannot be true parents.

Parents want their children to be married because they want to bequeath to them and completely teach them parental love and heart.

When parents pass onto the next world, they do not really disappear because they leave their real selves behind with their descendants.

They leave their spirit and tradition behind. This is why they need descendants.

Love is something that continues forever.

Since love is the highest human desire, everyone wants to inherit it with arms wide open.

When parents bequeath their true love centered on God to their descendants, they can stand proudly before God in the spirit world.

It is through the family that love becomes complete. 

You go to the heavenly kingdom through the family.

This is the realm where the oneness of love is realized through the relationships experienced in a family.  Everyone should follow this principle.

Seeds are sown in spring; plants fully develop in summer; they bear fruit in autumn.

In winter, you should stack up all of your harvest in order and carry the essence of this new seed of life deep within your heart.  This is the only way you will have seeds to plant again when spring returns.

This means that in the future, you should become parents and raise your sons and daughters like yourselves.

Why is it when people do not have children, they feel sorrow or that something is missing?

They feel sorry because they cannot form a complete circle.

When you see a young mother feeding her baby bird, you can recognize the deep love of that mother bird.  Western people may not know this, but in the Orient, children are liked more than adults are.

People are polite and have respect for adults, but they show the utmost love for children.

You realize how much your parents loved you when you are raising your own sons and daughters.  Everyone should get married and have and raise children so that they can know both children's love and parents' love.

It seems that western people are not like this.  They avoid having children and rather take up having dogs and staying single for the rest of their lives.

They hesitate having children or getting married because of what they may have witnessed in their own families with their fallen parents.

But if a person is not able to establish the four-position relationship (brother/sister love, conjugal/spouse love, parental love, God centered love), then they will not be able to go to the Kingdom of heaven because they will not be able to relate and know God's heart of loving all people of humanity.

Human Beings Seek the Center of Love

Human beings are born through love, grow up in parental love, and then mature while broadening love horizontally.

This horizontal love reaches the completion of the first stage where man and woman meet and grow together to the state where they can represent the love of heaven and earth. They then bear children as the fruit of their unique love.

Children are born from the heart's core as a result of love.

A child who is born from a man and woman who share this love based on their hearts, creates a path to the center of love.

This center will lead them directly to God.

By having children as a fruit of their love, human beings come to deeply experience the love with which God created all things and human beings.

By loving their children deeply, they experience the love they received from their own parents and the parental heart.

This is the only way to understand and know the heart of a parent and to understand fully God's parental heart.

This love that the parents pour out to their children is not based on materialistic love, but an intrinsic love.  The love that parents give their children does not change even if heaven and earth change and historical ages change, the love between parent and child is eternal.

Through becoming a parent and loving your children, you will understand and deeply experience how God has been loving human beings.  You will also feel and realize how your parents have loved you and worried and cared for you.

This is why we have much more respect for our parents who are aging.

We fulfill the duties of filial piety with this love.

If you do not fulfill these responsibilities, you are unqualified to be parents and your love towards your children would be considered hypocritical.

By becoming parents, then humanity can fully realize how much God has loved them.  Furthermore, they will love God even more sincerely.

A person should love their aging parents more than they love their own children.  They should love God more than they love their parents.

Now you know that this is the order and law of love after bearing children of your own.

Because heaven and earth has a spherical shape, they share horizontal love and rotate, forming a circle on the first level.

When they take a partner of the opposite sex and share love, they have children as the fruit and become parents.

When they love each other and rotate, vertical love is realized following the horizontal love. This forms the spherical world and establishes the center of love at the same time.

The center of love that emerges through the movement created by these love relationships is also the core of existence of the entire world of creation.

The earth exists because it is also moving continuously around this center of love.

The center of love is where infinite force is gathered that enables continuous movement. The center that appears through the sphere of love in this manner is also a place where God dwells.

Therefore, all creation existing in the world is born and exists through God's love and moves in search for the center of God's love.

God is a furnace of love.

Siblings Unite Based on Parents' Love

In my childhood, I would often look at bird nests. Once I climbed a tree to look into a nest, and the mother bird started pecking at me. She was desperate and willing to die to protect her nest, and not only once.

When I brushed her aside, she flew away, and then came back. Seeing this, we cannot deny the powerful instinct of animals to transcend their own lives to protect their offspring. It is similar with human beings. You should be able to invest your li
fe for the sake of love. That is the way of a true person. 

Reverend Sun Myung Moon



Truly good people are those who have established love as their root.

They try to protect their loved ones even at the cost of their own lives.

This is where goodness originates.  This is something that will never change.

Father Moon speaks about the magnificence of parenthood seen even in nature:

"When I was in Danbury prison, I witnessed an interesting thing. A slope was being bulldozed into a tennis court.  However, when the rainy season came, work had to stop for a few weeks until the weather cleared up.

During the delay, a water bird built a nest only three meters away from the path the inmates used for their exercise. 

The water bird was not easily noticeable as her colors allowed her to blend into the background.

Therefore, while she was guarding her eggs, no one realized she was there, even through they repeatedly walked right by her.

When the water bird curled up, she looked just like a round black stone from the side, but when her eggs hatched and the baby birds started feeding, they were pretty noisy and gave away their location.

Several of the inmates tried to mess around with the water bird, but she proved very capable of protecting her young. 

When she returned with food, she never landed close to her nest, but chose different locations, then slowly crept over to her chicks.

Every day she approached from a different direction in order to protect her young. This is how she protected them. 

As her chicks grew larger, she would make lots of noise and peck any inmates who came too close. She was clearly warning them to stay away."



Who could have taught the water bird to be like this?  It is the power of the universe.

All things in creation are on a level plane centering on God's love as the axis.   Even though each may hold different positions on that plane, their level of love and care is the same.

Even a honey bee cannot be separated from the taste of nectar from a flower.  It will not let go, even if its abdomen is torn off.  True Love is like this.

True love is not based on gain that can be calculated.   You can cast away your life for it.  Being able to forsake and disregard one own's life is the path of true love.  Parents walk this path.

Parental heart willingly goes the way of death for the sake of love. 

When we look at the case of parents, if their children are in mortal danger, parents will willingly die in place of their child.  This is true love.

Imagine a man that can boasts about all the accomplishments he has throughout the world.  He is extremely wealthy through his own hard work, sweat and tears.

But if his child is suddenly faced with a life-and-death situation or he is told his child has terminal cancer, none of those things will matter anymore.

He would sacrifice his own life and all of his wealth and possessions to save his child's life.

Parental Love Is Eternal

Since parental love is so sacrificial, do you think there is a limit to the parents' love for their children?

Parents not only love their children during childhood, but their love will continue through the child's entire life and even into eternity.

If the parent and child are able to establish a relationship that brings increasing worth and value, then infinite stimulation, then something new will arise within that relationship.

The parent-child relationship is the greatest gift God gave to us.

The love of a mother or father is one of the greatest forms of love in the human world. 

Even people who are in the highest positions in society are vulnerable to the needs of their children.

Parental love is the mother of all kinds of love.

Love toward children is unconditional and unlimited.  Therefore, those who grow up without receiving parental love thirst for it most of all.

Even though an orphan may have a house to sleep in and food to eat, they will always lack and long for something in their heart.

They long for the love of a parent.  Most of you were raised by loving parents.

Whether the children are young or old, their parents always love them.

Even when their children are seventy years old, they will still look at him the way they used to when they raised him long before; this is the parental heart.

As the children grow, the parents' heart continues to draw even closer.

The sense of responsibility toward their children increases.  The heart to live for the sake of the children deepens even further.

You can see this when we see how parents relate to their children in society.

Parents go through many difficulties for the sake of their children, but do not feel the hardship. 

This is because they love their children. After giving their flesh and blood to their children, do parents keep a record?

No.  They are rather pained at not being able to give their children even more.  The same is for mothers, correct?

When women breastfeed your babies, if they are unable to feed well you feel worried.

Isn't it true as you raise your children that they take away your flesh and blood?  In a sense, aren't children the greatest of all thieves?

Yet, mothers still feel anxious when their babies do not feed properly .

Why is it that parents love their children so much?

It is because this is the law of love.

A mother's touch when her baby is feeding at her breast is centered on love.  Also, when she holds her baby, the mother experiences a beautiful calm atmosphere.

This is because heaven and earth entered a state of peace.

This is why no matter how much trouble babies can be, mothers still have room in their hearts to accept and even encourage such behavior.

In one sense, we can think of a baby while he is getting his proper nourishment sucks out his mother's flesh and blood.

Yet, there is no loving mother who would stop giving her children in this sense.  There is no limit to the love parents feel for their children.  

Through raising a baby, this allows multitudes of chances of discovery of new things.  For instance, a baby stimulates new hope for the mother and father.  At such times, there are also new realizations.  This bond is unchangeable.

Parental Love Sets the Standard for All Forms of Love

Parental love is the highest.

Those who were blessed to have been raised with true parental love become well-rounded people and understand the full dynamics of love.  Children will never forget their parents' love.

Therefore, the family is the school of love.  Therefore the full experience of parental love is impossible without parents.

We speak about the depth of parental love, but what should the love among children be like?

What should be used as the standard for loving?  Brothers and sisters should love each other just as their father and mother do.

We should learn about about brotherly and sisterly love from our parents.

They should be able to say to their parents, "Our mother and father are the greatest in the whole world.  They stand in the position of God."

When children witness their parents' unchanging hearts and see the love shared between their parents, they say, "Let us learn from this love and become united among ourselves as well."  This is an ideal family taking root.

When children grow up into adulthood, they will soon search for a partner with whom their mind and heart can be one.

This is only realized through marriage: when a man and woman thus totally respect each other and strive to establish the standard of love and heart.

You should have a family in which the mother and father can unite with God's heart and love.  Then the children take after their loving parents and also unite with God's heart and love.

This is the order of tradition of love: the elder brother, as a representative of the parents sacrifices himself and loves his younger siblings centering on the parents' love.  The position of elder brother brings with it the responsibility to suffer most among his siblings.

This is the same with the parents' position, who also suffer the most for the sake of the children.  If parents shed tears and sacrifice for the sake of their children, the children will naturally want to follow their parents.

When parents and children relate based on God as the center, then the children will express love to each other in many different ways.

The older child should love the younger sibling int he same way that the parents love him.

In a family that is united through such a love, the love within that family will continuously blossom.  Then it will become the love within a society and within a nation.

In this way the world becomes the world of love.

Why do you receive love from your parents?

It is because the father and mother's original motivation to rely on each other and love each other originates in you their child.

Therefore, when brothers and sisters love each other centering on that initial motivation, their love also will not change.

Similarly, when you think of your neighbor as if he was your own self, the right social environment will develop.

We must understand that the family is at the formation stage, society is at the growth stage and the nation is the completion stage.  You must go through each of these three stages.

All families then should be linked together.

Only then will love develop among the society and unity will be realized on the national level.  All of this stems from the love of a family.

Society is divided into many sectors.  Even though the company has one CEO at the head, how many heads of states does a country have?  It is just one, right?

One person is responsible.  In this way, there is a unified pattern that is established while the scale increases.  Becoming one, but also being divided into many parts is the essence of the four-position relationships within a family. (siblings, parents, spouse, centered on God)
