What Kind of Place is Spirit World?

What is the center of the spirit world and physical world? One may questions why worry about a place many people do not believe exists?

But we must be concerned about the spirit world.

There are many religions that take the path to search the world where we live eternally in relation to the spirit world.

The next world is a world where we will live eternally with God.  

This is religion;s destination and purpose.

However, do religions of today teach such a standard of living?

Religions around the world are on the decline.

We have entered the era in which people think of religion as weak and unnecessary. Or they believe that it was created by people as an idea to help in their times of troubles.

Even the central religion has declined.

America represents the Christian nations of the world. Those who grew up in Christian homes have now lost their faith and are living according to their own faith and rules outside of God will.

Heaven, the dwelling place of God, has been idealized by Christianity which is now being abandoned.  There are three reasons.

First, this is happening because they do not have a clear understanding of the existence of the life hereafter.

We favor, of course, a better situation than a bad one.

Through an innate capacity, we are ever in search of a higher dimensional realm of greater value.

This is the original human nature.  Second, it is because they do not truly know God.  Third, it is because they do not know that love is central and binds us to both God and spirit world.

These three points are not known.

Even though people of faith might know of God and the spirit world, they do not fully understand that it is a world which is centered on love.

When you are in a place of love, you will be happy whether you go up or down or stay in the middle.

Does a true wife dislike her beloved husband if he is in a higher position in society than she lives?  Does a husband dislike his beloved wife because she is in a lower position than he shares?

When you live in unity, you can go anywhere from below to above, and vice versa - even stay in the middle.  In that state, there are no restraints.

Thus, many people in the world want one unified world of peace.

This also holds true for spiritual and physical worlds and for spiritual and physical beings.

God and His love are both central to both worlds.

Fallen people on the other hand usually do not see God in this way in their mind.

Our mind and body exist in different dimensions.

The mind differs from the spirit world.

We speak of these two worlds in terms of God's love.  In order for spirit world and physical world to be united, God must be involved.

Without God's love being involved, the spirit world cannot exist.  Spirit world is linked to God.

How does our conscience differ from the spirit world?

Many people may be confused at how the mind and the spirit world differ.  They may think that the mind is in spirit.

Because of the Fall, the mind does not have anything to do with the spiritual world.

In other words, the mind of a fallen person is like a boneless body.  

This gives a realistic picture of what kind of form the mind has.

The spirit has a spirit body and a spirit mind.

It requires spiritual food in order to stay healthy and grow just like the physical body.  The spirit mind corresponds to the spiritual world.

It definitely relates to God.  Therefore, if we do not have a relationship with God, then this spirit mind will not come into being.

We must clearly understand that the spirit and mind are two different things.

Each of our fallen minds does not have a relationship with God.  

God has left that.  He cannot either relate or control our mind directly.

Your mind changes, by going one way and then it goes in another direction.  But the spiritual world and spirit beings do not.  They are able to set an eternal goal and them constantly move in that direction.  Why is this so?  Because they stand on the side of God.

Our mind that lives within each human vacillates.

What is the spirit mind?

It is the mind and the spirit uniting.

It is moving toward its new goal.  It is a motivational mind which has the ability to direct us to become our ideal selves by uniting with our conscience centered upon God.

Well, if we were not created with a spirit mind, we would not be able to search for its origin which connects us to the spirit world and to true love.

When our spirit mind sprouts, then our body experiences joy and everything follows after it.  There, everything starts to unite automatically.

Humanity's biggest problem is the separation of the mind and the body.

Our mind and body naturally become one when spiritual good energy comes into the body and creates the origin of our spirit mind.

Unless there is a revolution that occurs at the root and we discover the origin that rectifies everything from the root then there is no way to find the ideal.

How can there be result if there is not a motivating cause?

Religion's purpose is to implant within us a spirit mind.  There are several forms of religions that are centered on the spirit mind.  

Unity of the spiritual and physical worlds

If God is such a majestic being and His creation takes after His qualities, then the spiritual and physical world must be unified and not separated.

Because true love was absent, these two worlds had no substance on which to unite.

Our minds and bodies became separate; also, between religion and politics.

When we center upon love, all things become united.  This includes individuals, family, society, nation, world and cosmos can all be united.  But the work of this unification must be created with our own hands.  Otherwise, we will not be able to inherit God's original kingdom in heaven and on earth.

So, how will we be able to unify the spiritual and physical worlds?  Only through true love. Nothing else can bind the two for eternity.  Love has such a power.

The spirit world clearly exists

Unfortunately, the reality of the spirit world is not known for sure by 80% of the world's population.  Even believers, people of faith are unsure of its existence and even of God's existence.  But it is for sure there.

Without having this knowledge or ability to unify and work with the good spirit world, unification of the world is at a standstill.  We are limited at best.

We can think of a person who has a lot of money who is prepared to invest all of their assets into creating the most beautiful architectural garden of happiness.

Then we can see how God, who created the beautiful heaven and earth, created such a dwelling place.

Spirit world is such a world of beauty and depth and beyond human imagination.

One can never get tired of experiencing it or gazing upon it.  The most prized possession on earth cannot compare to even a corner of the spirit world.

Therefore, I do not want to own this earth, that is to say, I would rather go back because it does not conform to my purpose.


But, many people do not even know about or think about the world in the hereafter, and even fear such a place.  People just continue to live their life just because they were taught to follow this ungodly way.

What is the center of such a mundane lifestyle?

People are born to think that food, shelter, clothing is the most important elements of life.  These issues have become the central reason for living.

Of course, there are some elements in human relationships such as morals and morality that enable people to improve, develop and find satisfaction with one another.

But the standard of each person's morality varies, just as the races and nations.

Moral standards and social systems all vary in accordance with the world's diverse cultural backgrounds.

Because of the standards we each adopt in our lives are different from the original standard which God set forth, the existing moral and ethical standards are scattered in all directions.

These standards we have away from God's standard have not been systematized into a whole, causing much confusion and disunity among humanity.

So where are we headed?

We are not clear about this, therefore, secular people do not know whether the spirit world and God exist.

However, we are clear on the point that spirit world exists.

We not only believe it, we know it.  How?  Because since coming to the truth of the Divine Principle, you each have had spiritual experiences.  Therefore, we are in no position to deny the existence of the spirit world.

So, what path should we take?  We must follow the path which God desires.  We should follow the path of God's will, but what is His will?

There is the path of God's will that individuals must go, and the path of God's will that families must go, and also the path for the society, nation, world, and spirit world. I am the specialist. The spirit world definitely exists. 

What consequences arise from the existence of God and the spirit world?

Some people try to have nothing to do with God even though they think He exists, but this is wrong.

When we deny the spirit world and just live the worldly way, it is the same as denying the family, the nation, or the world despite if a person is a part of these.

Therefore, we desire to enter into a relationship with the greater God and the greater spirit world.  Instead of just being a part of their existence, we should strive for unity with God and spirit world.  We are moving forward toward this single purpose.

The spirit world is the driving force for faith (Saint Paul's vision of the third heaven)

Paul explains in the Bible, how he gained experience for fourteen years to see the third heaven.

After he walked a path of 14 years, he was able to know more about what he was talking about when he spoke about the third heaven.

His experience in seeing the third heaven in spirit world became the driving force which empowered him to do his missionary activities for fourteen years.  We also must have such experiences.



That also holds true for me.  I do not fear death. What made this possible? Love did. I can digest even being put in jail. Thus, I must digest and conquer today's adverse circumstances. I will conquer everything with my own hands.

When God created the spirit world

Spirit world is the equivalent to the angelic world.  The world today is in the same position as that of Adam and Eve.

God created the spirit world and angelic world before He crated His children.

Since the satanic world came to exist through our choosing to follow the archangel Lucifer's words and deeds, the spirit world also went against God's will.

Therefore, that world can only be restored after the spirit world welcomes God's will.

Also, the Lord of the Second Coming could not come to the earth until this world was able to subjugate the evil spirit world which was dominating humanity until now.

This is why we have worked until today to subjugate the spirit world and consequently, the spirit world has helped us in our mission for unification with the spirit world and physical world toward a world of peace.

Where is the spirit world?

Spirit world is in your bodies.  Therefore, you cannot escape it.

The spirit world exists.

You attend it.

Spirit world exists for this world, this world exists for the sake of the eternal world.  People may ask where is God in the world.

Some people wonder if there could be a god that exists in such an evil world.  God lives in the spirit world.

What kind of place is the spirit world?

If life only exists where we live for only eighty or hundred year on earth, then we wouldn't have to worry about problems.

But since we live eternally, this is a different story.

We have no idea how much of an unchanging world it is.

We experience racial discrimination, cultural clashes and other issues, despite these problems, we maintain values which do not pass away.  These values continue on vividly into spirit world.

Scientific advances and space exploration act like lubricants which will create the ideal world of love.

In this same way, the world is filled with the electricity of love.

There is nothing we cannot do with the electricity of love. 

We can govern the realm of spirit world through our way of thinking.

Then what is the spirit world?

It is a place that desires eternal elements.  It is the world of harmony, where everything is filled with love.

Thus, the universe gets into operative mode through just a push of a love button.

Then what is God's kingdom on earth?

Heaven is a place where all the love bulbs light up.  What about God's Kingdom on earth?  It is a place where these love bulbs light up completely.

As long as you keep a loving heart and pull the rope of love, everything else will follow.

When you pull love back, it goes back, when you pull it sideways, it moves sideways.  You can steer it however you like it.

Love does not resist, but moves automatically.

Thus, we find this concept where the spirit world is filled with the air of love.

If God's love wants to feed all of humanity at once and says in order to make them happy "Let there be food", then food will appear.

You eat the food of love in the spirit world.

The more you hear, the more you want to hear.  Within spirit world, there is no concept of being sleepy or tired there.

You look at each other with the eyes of love there.

No words have been created that can express the mystery of the spirit world.  People today try to link everything to love.

Why?

This is to be in sync with the spirit world.

Since the spirit world operates in this way, all of creation cannot help but respond to that.  They cannot abandon that position.

When you see me in your dreams, I appear to you through the waves of God's love. 


For you to have such experiences, you have to let go of ego there.  You have to sacrifice yourselves and create a vacuum.

In this vacuum, there is no memories of the fallen past, regrets or ideas of revenge or hate of another.

Once you create this vacuum, you have to become like pure gold.  Gold does not contain any other element; it is pure in itself.

This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book Five, Chapter 3, Section 2

To Go to a Higher Realm in Spirit World

This sounds like an easy question, but what is truly the difference between those who are religious and those who are not?

Simply put, religious people believe in setting a standard of how they will live in the higher realms of spirit world their entire lives. In other words, they live their to set up a good life in the other world.

Religion begins from making a decision that you will live with God and meet in the future and living a life that leads to this reunion.

All religions teach substance of discipline, but do not dwell deeply in the details of how to live in society.  Content was taught about substance relating to the eternal, spiritual world based on the realm of God's existence.



The determination of proprietary rights in the spirit world

During this speech, Reverend Moon, reminisced about the days when he had to shiver in a cold room and sometimes go without eating even a measly meal.

He said in those days, he was closer to God.  During those times, he and church members, worried about the nation and the world, even though they did not have any position in the world to do so.

As the foundation they laid grew, they begin to care more about how to attract more people to work for the dispensation of bringing about world peace.

Father knew that knowledge, power or money was a means to bring people to hear such things, but these qualities soon wash away and the things they attract with it will disappear as well.

When we die, no matter how much of these things you acquire in life, you have to leave them behind.  All that you can carry with you to the other side is how much you expand God's love to the world.

The only record that remains in the end is how much you loved humankind and God.  This becomes the standard to decide what you own in the next world.

Every person born on earth came to this world alone, but we cannot go alone.

We must take a lot of people with us.  How many people you witness to God decides how much property you own in spirit world when you get there.

There are no signs that you wear that shows that you were a glorious leader on earth.

Love people

What is important to know is that if you did not have God's love while on earth, you cannot eat when you get to spirit world.

Spirit world is based on the life of living for another person.  The selfish individualism we witness here in society is based on the sinful, archangel's false life and false love, not God's original world.

Hell is in the opposite direction of God's ideal.  It is a place where people only can see food and good things but cannot touch or eat them.  They will have knowledge of circumstances, but will not be able to act upon them.

It is a literal eternal prison where limits and boundaries are abundant.

Yet, if one is able to live a life on earth that is centralized on God's love and is able to have a balance of good spirit world and physical world and live heaven on earth, they will automatically enter heaven in spirit world.

Others who do not live this way or do not unite their good mind to command the evil body centered on God, will not be qualified to go there.

What can we be proud of when we go to the spirit world?


When you enter spirit world and God asks you what did you do with your time on earth, would you be able to brag to him that you spent a lot of money while on earth?

Your pride in front of God on that day will be that you have lived longing for and loving people.  You lived for others to reach the temple of God.

Love God even more

The only thing that is necessary in the other world is to love God more than you love the world, nation, your spouse and your children.

This is the Principle.

When you go to spirit world, will you be able to earn a living or do you do nothing but sleep for hundreds of millions of years?

The answer is neither of these.  According to the standard you acquire while on earth, determines how free you will live in spirit world.  Therefore, a life lived for others allows you to move freely throughout spirit world and have the freedom to eat anytime you want.

Establish the family foundation

Why do we need to have children?

Surely because love is present.  Since God exists, man and woman exist, husband and wife exist.

Next, the descendants are born with God's blood, His love blood.  Here the vertical(heavenly) and horizontal(earthly) blood is mixed.  Therefore, if you are not able to have such children, you will not have a place to rest or play in the other world.

Do you think a couple can have true happiness, if they are just staring at each other face to face for 80 years?  There is a limit to this happiness.  They will be unable to live an interesting full life in this way.

It is necessary to be a daughter-in-law and have grandchildren.

There is no greater happiness for grandmothers and grandfathers than holding their grandchildren.  Those who are unable to have grandchildren, they will not be able to achieve harmony with heaven and earth or be able to keep in step with north, south, east and west in spirit world.

Once you experience many delightful experiences in spirit world, life here on earth is dull in comparison.

If you open your eyes to spirit world, you can see it and eat meals there spiritually while you are still on earth. When you reach this standard, you will never go hungry, even if you do not eat all day.  Your body will feel light and you will never get tired even if you run around all day.

So, why did God even create this world, if living in spirit world has no limits that are experienced on earth?

It is necessary to live on earth in order to give birth to children.  Once you reach spirit world, children are no longer born.

Because you are required to take your whole family with you in order to go to heaven, you have no other choice but to stay this way.

Live centered on the tradition of the realm of the heart

Do you think that you will attend church services while in spirit world?  Will the teachings of religion be necessary in the next world?

It will not.  Catholicism, Buddhism, Christianity will not be necessary.

You will be in the realm where you will be living with God, so religion teaches how to live with God and will be unnecessary.

What will be necessary?

The most precious gift is to be able to receive God's love.

We speak a lot about the realm of heart.

Where is the base?

The world of heart is where there is parental love, true conjugal love and true fraternal love centered on God's love where it can be universally expanded.

In the original world, the conjugal love or love of spouse centered on heaven and earth and the cosmos of a husband and wife is primary.  Instead, the husband and wife living for the sake of one another without a center or base became primary.

Conjugal love is important to practice, but it must be centered on the world.  Our most important question is where do we build and find the foundation of love that meets the standard in that world.

We are working to build that foundation in this world because of that.  We are the only place that has started to build this kind of foundation out of all the different religions.

So, what do we teach?

We teach people how to be successful candidates in the coming world of heart.

When you go pass to spirit world you will meet many people who love their race, you will find many couples, patriots and loyal subjects and saints.  But what about those who have lived centered on the tradition of God's original realm of heart.

The pass with which to enter the spirit world

From now on, when you start something, do it based on God.

This is a basic principle.  You are connected to all realms in spirit world based on how much you lived in accord with or have assimilated that principle.  This is from the realm of hell through the middle realm to paradise and heaven.

Does a person go to heaven when he enters spirit world just because he is a world-famous scholar?

No, he cannot.  This is why religions teach how to deny everything and go forward.  You have to give up everything and go the true way of life.  That is the logical way.

Then what is most precious?  What matters most is how much you have suffered for heaven and how much tears you shed for the world.  That is the ticket to pass through to the other world.

From God's point of view, do you think He feels a lot of joy when He sees a couple centering on themselves leaving Him abandoned?  The ones who think such a way do not have the right thinking or any common sense.

The main one that is the most sorrowful about the situation of the world is God.

His tears which He has suffered and shed until now were not for Himself.

God is still shedding tears for the universe which He created to glorify His children.

Why does God suffer?  Because He is a God of heart.

How to Prepare to Go to Heaven

The closer we are to the truth, and the more we come under its spell, the more it will become our center which nobody can snatch from us.

If people's minds are securely centered on the truth, no matter if the earth were to fall into chaos millions of times and the universe was destroyed, they will never be changed or shaken.

On the other hand, if you are not prepared to accept such a central truth in your heart, however genuine the truth may appear, you would not recognize it when it comes to you.

Even if true love appeared, you would not be able to understand it because it did not come alive in your heart.

The stronghold of heaven

If Christianity wants to become a religion that establishes the mind's center that nobody can make fall and seek a genuine truth of life and love, then it must completely deny itself to the end.

Religion must deny itself to discover new truths and pathways.  Make sacrifices.

When mankind were discovering new continents, it seemed as if the continent was constantly expanding.

Now, as every facet on earth has been discovered and partially destroyed, it is as if the earth is shrinking day by day.

In other words, as civilization was still developing, the world seemed huge, but as history and civilization expanded, the world seemed to gradually shrink.

In that regard, you can know the ideal world, realized through history of truth.  It will become the universal era where everything in creation forms direct ties with humanity.

What standard should we as citizens of heaven follow?

Our love and life of the Kingdom of Heaven should follow truth.  Our life and the truth should follow love, and likewise, love and truth should necessarily follow life because truth, life and love are like a family. They are inseparable.

These must bear good fruit within us.

Why are truth, love and life connected to one another this way?

For something to exist there should be an above and below front and back, and right and left, centering on existing things.

No part of creation can escape the realm of number three, which is the fundamental form of existence.  The three growth stages are:  formation stage, growing stage and completion stage.

Love, life and truth get together and make an unified form.

However, if a force proceeds in the reverse direction, then an action of force different from the original one occurs.

God is the origin of love, life, and truth. 

After we did not follow God's original formula, we have been unable to form a triangle that holds love, life and truth in equal balance.

Thus, God could not fulfill His will through us.

Jesus' disciples thought that Jesus would just automatically dominate the Roman Empire with his truth and become King of Israel, and they would hold high positions.

But we have to first make a foundation for God's Kingdom within our mind.

Then centering on the good mind, we should make a foundation for unity between our body and God.

This is the foremost issue.

The Kingdom of Heaven begins from within us. 

Our mind is its stronghold.

Where is God's stronghold?

Many people of faiths say that they just believe in Jesus and will just automatically go to heaven.  Where is that stronghold?

When Peter asked where the Kingdom of Heaven was, Jesus answered, "It's not in heaven, but in your heart." Where is that stronghold located?

Can it be formed from a sadden or hateful heart?  Or a selfish, arrogant mind, or a mind that denies society and lives only for self?

These are not the kind of content we desire, or the kind of Kingdom which God can approve.  If you seek the stronghold of God's Kingdom, you must meet with solitude more than anyone else on earth.

Why?

God is solitary, the too must be solitary.

When serving the church we must be determined to bear the responsibility of solving the problems of sin and evil in this world.

If we are unable to have a single direction of determination to bear that responsibility, then the stronghold of heaven cannot exist.

People mistakenly are confident that just because they are conscientious and hold a respectable social position that they exhibit the beginning of Heaven from such a mind.

But unless one is perfected, he still holds evil within him.  How can heaven and hell dwell in the same place?

This thinking is based on the understanding that good and evil begin together.  Yet, these dual qualities cannot begin together.

When evil goes east, we good must go west, and when evil moves, good has to stop.

Moreover, when evil has a desire, good must not have that same want.

Good and evil are opposite.

In God's original world, Heaven was a place we would reach automatically centered on a life with Him.  But we started our search for the heavenly nation where God lost all His hope in the world of humankind after we had abandoned Him.

Therefore, people who are satisfied with their present fallen lives, cannot be truly religious people.

You should not be attached to your satanic habits, and lifestyle, but instead you must proceed to seek new values, deny even your life when confronted by intersecting fortunes of life and death that can cause you to sink into despair.

By proceeding in this manner, then the way of true goodness can start from here.

When we see the way for true restoration or salvation, are there people who can therefore confidently say that their character is the stronghold of heaven?

Have you met a religious leader or person who was the pillar of standard for the way to heaven?

There is no one who would claim that God would recognize their family for living in their satanic, habitual lifestyles while in a comfortable environment.

There is no tribe that exists that God can recognize their achievements.  There are no races, nations, ideologies or philosophies that can demand God's recognition.

When you truly look at God's situation of bringing the world of peace to fruition with no family, tribe or nation from which to work, you are probably dumbfounded.

Those who work to protect themselves from the evil world for more than a millennium can dream such a dream, and only those who gratefully sacrifice themselves for more than ten thousand years can find hope to live for ten thousand years.


If there are those who cry out to see such an eternal Kingdom of Heaven, eternal life and eternal happiness must be able to overcome the current situation with eternity as their main focus of all activities.

They must endure the present circumstances, sacrificing themselves.  Only from such a standpoint can the eternal stronghold emerge.

The standard for going to heaven

Without setting a standard of loving God, we cannot free ourselves from the satanic realm.

Thus, we must love Him with all of our heart more than our spouse.

We are trapped within the snares of false love within the satanic realm.

Fallen people must emerge as far as the edge of that hellish realm and come out of it completely.

Hence, we cannot love our parents more than God.

What kind of people enter Heaven?

They are people whose mind are in harmony with God.  To what extent?

Our mind must be in harmony with His for eternity as He works toward the eternal ideal based on His eternal purpose.

Therefore, our minds must eternally be in harmony with the eternal God.

What must we do to achieve this high standard?

We must become children who can be liked by God and who like God.  Therefore, we would not be children of sadness or regret.

Next, we must walk in step with God's body.  here, 'body' means direction.

The body is manifested through the direction it takes.

In order to become children who walk in step with God's ideal, when He goes east, we must go east with Him.

If God liked something warm, but Jesus liked something cold, would this be a right relationship between Father and son?

If He wanted to laugh and talk, and Jesus wanted to sleep, would this feel right?

Everything manifested through the external body must be in step with God.

Would everything be fine with just that?  No.

If God is amiable, He would not be hot-tempered at the same time.  Therefore, if God is amiable, we should be amiable, not angry.

The internal and external must match.

Would this attitude alone make everything work out?

Next, we must do things which are in line with God's will.

For that to happen, can there be things we are reluctant to do which God would want us to accomplish?

Can there be things that our bodies detest that are good for us?

We must do things that both our good mind and body like to do.  As God exists, there must be things that He likes.  Also, as Jesus is God's Son, he also has to like such things.

We can never go to heaven without sacrificing our fallen, humanistic lives.

This is how it is with the essence of faith, if you were to go to spirit world you would see whether this was true or not.

The starting point of the Kingdom of Heaven

Where does the Kingdom of Heaven begin?

If we are not able to dissolve God's anguish at losing His children, how can we enter heaven with a peaceful heart knowing how the Father suffers?

Since humanity has woven a history of sorrow since the Fall, we must restore all of its ties from the sinful lineage to the Godly pure lineage without the trace of the Fall.

All of the six millennia, since Adam and Eve have to be restored to the point before the Fall.

Secular people dislike sorrow and run away from it, but we are taught about God's sorrow which is more miserable than any other sorrowful situation we have encountered.

If something tragic happened in the world, most people would avoid it and run away from it.

But our motto is to go through such places of sorrow and restore it to the Kingdom of Heaven.

The more that we understand God's sorrow and misery, the stronger the force that actually emerges to dissolve His anguish.  That force becomes the motive of unlimited explosive action.

That great force is the foundation of the Messiah.

The essence of the Kingdom of Heaven

What kind of world will the Kingdom of Heaven be?

Since it is the original world of creation, then individuals, families and tribes who are still attached to the fallen, satanic bloodline still accused by Satan cannot go there.

In order to enter heaven, these three levels must become one - three generations become one.

In Adam's family, Adam was the first generation, Cain and Abel the second and their children the third.  From God's standpoint, God was the first generation, Adam and Eve the second, and Cain and Abel, the third.

As heaven is a world of living for others, we must go forth making that notion our first consideration.

Those who have the idea that others serve them will be destroyed.

Heaven is the world filled with God's love. 

Love's essence is not to be served, but rather live for the sake of all.

Thus, heaven differs from the lower standard of the secular world.  This religious teaching of living for the sake of others, which is being absolutely obedient, sacrificing self and serving does not exist in the selfish, secular world.

To serve others are perceived as beggars who know nothing of this world.

Yet, this was God's secret strategy against Satan so that people could still be blessed even if they were ignorant of heaven's laws.

The framework of the Kingdom of Heaven

We have not restored the original homeland.

We lost our original hometown, by which means God's Kingdom on earth.

When we speak of God's Kingdom, we are referring to the realm which is on earth and that which is in heaven.

There are three major elements required to establish a nation: first sovereignty, next territory, and then citizenry.

Yet, God has not been able to establish a sovereignty over which he can govern.  He has no people whom He can govern.  This amounts to not having a homeland where to rest.

We live in a world that is not the world which God's original people should live.
