Paradise is Not the Kingdom of Heaven.

There has been no religion until now that professed that we only go to heaven together with our mother, father and family; only individual salvation has been given priority. Therefore, only a religion of a family entering heaven must emerge. 

 Once this thought of a family salvation emerges on earth, then the doors of heaven will be wide open.



Which concept sounds more centered on God's love: a heaven for just one person goes while their whole family resides in hell or paradise, or one where all of the family is saved and enters heaven together?



The religions that are based on individual salvation are like someone rope climbing alone. This is the religious world focusing on the life of celibacy. Therefore, a family was seen as one's enemy.



This is why Jesus said that one's family members were in a sense like one's enemy. Because family members can pull one in many sinful directions away from God. But now we are living in the era of salvation for the whole family.



If humanity had chosen God's path in the beginning, unfallen humankind would have enter God's direct love and unite with Him after getting married. There would be no need for a Messiah, or messenger because we would not be separated from God's love.



Jesus went to Paradise instead of heaven after his crucifixion. Paradise is the waiting room before going to heaven. Paradise is not the ideal Kingdom of Heaven where couples and families enter together.










Therefore, Jesus has to come again to meet his bride, create a family and a people, and take them to heaven.


















In the future, your father and mother will be saved – your whole family will be saved – that's the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.



Christianity does not have a nation of its own to stand on. It is a religion where unmarried men and women of faith built a community on the principles of Christ. You have seen such Catholic priests and nuns.
Christians reside in many countries, but there is not one solid country whose sovereign is a Christian leader, priest or pastor. Christianity is only a spiritual nation.



Because it did not have its own country with a solid foundation on earth, many Christians have been killed. If they had their own nation, they would have been protected from death for their beliefs. Such people were sacrificed, and scattered abroad like vagrants and driven to their deaths.



In the future, all Christians should get together and through gaining their national sovereignty find their own country, nation and world. This is what all Christians should do. Just as the Puritans built such a nation, Christianity should do even greater upon its 2000 year foundation.



But in all of history, Jesus and God have not found anyone who had their spirit and flesh united centered on the Word, whom God could unite and totally love.

In the future, the issue of a true view of life and of the universe will come to the fore.

How is it Jesus who was one with God only entered paradise and not heaven upon his death?



Heaven was created for people who had not fallen. We can only enter heaven after we reached the original standard based on the Principle. 

 Originally, Jesus was to be accepted by his people as the Son of God who had His characteristics, like a King to the people. He was to stand with his spouse in the position of an unfallen, perfect Adam and Eve as the True Parents of Humankind and enter heaven with his children. 

Yet he went alone. In other words, they were to reverse the fall of humanity's first parents.



This is the reason the Messiah must return and take his bride, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.



“Jesus must come again to loose on earth what was bound. Only then can he go to heaven. This is in line with what is stated in the Bible that what was bound has to be loosed on earth.”



If humanity had not followed Satan's word and we followed God's word and united with Him completely, then we would enter heaven automatically after creating a God-centered family living in His love.

Heaven is to be entered by families, not individuals.

God lost Adam and Eve. Through losing Adam, God lost His Kingdom centered on the kingdom of heaven.



Not only the individual, but the family, clan, nation and world were lost. God's process throughout history to restore man has been a sorrowful one.




God lost His only begotten son and only begotten daughter from the beginning of human history and has struggled throughout history to restore us to our original, Godly position.
