Messiah Returns to be Our Parent

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why? 

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


One Person Can Bring World Peace

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

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

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

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

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

Jesus Returns Spiritually to Restore Through A Living Messiah

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

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

What was incomplete at Jesus's crucifixion?

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

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

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

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

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

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


How We Find Peace on Earth

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


We Can Embody Absolute True Love

Where does true love start and begin?

Through Parents.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Beginning Point of History

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

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

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

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

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

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

Today's words have been taken from a compilation of speeches and textbooks based on Dr. Rev. Sun Myung Moon's teachings.  To learn about the community that studies this teaching please visit: www.familyfed.org

Why Communism Can't Bring World Peace

If you watch "Superman" you will see that even Lex Luther, his nemesis, had a grandeur desire to free the world through technology.  How about agents in the Matrix trilogy? The machine's goal in the beginning was a peaceful world created through the Matrix as well. 

Actually, all nemesis have their ideal of how to make the world better.  They don't set out to destroy the world, they just centered the ideal world on themselves which is imperfect and not centered on God.  So, enemies try to get rid of the heroes that are trying to stop their "ideal", which is self-centered and evil, from taking root.

These are superhero movies, but it is also reality.  If you watch any gangster movie you see how they kill the bad guys, correct? 

Then the tough guys go home and you see how they treat their family, their blood with such affections.  They feel they are doing the streets justice.  They are getting rid of the scum and taking the streets back for their people and their family. 

They feel they are justified in their killing of evil.  But, we in our sane thinking see them as the bad guy, as the very evil in which they try to rid.  Why is this?  Why is it bad to kill evil?

Because in essence, how do you judge evil, and from which standpoint?  From our point-of-view, drug dealers and criminals are evil because they break the rules.  This is a worldy standard.  Let's look at a higher standard of the world.  From God's standard, you and I are evil as no one on earth ever fully follows God's law.

Gangsters and criminals don't see themselves as evil, you and I don't either.  No one who does wrong does.  In order to judge a person and sentence them to death, would take such a standard bearer who could judge people's hearts and minds.  Who has that absolute lifestyle to judge another human to death.  So, gangsters no matter how noble their intentions, in fact, become the very people they judge.

Let's look more on a global scale.


Hitler and Stalin Anti-Christ

Do you think that Hitler, Stalin or any other dictator believed they were evil? 

Of course not.  They believed they were getting rid of evil Jews and the Slavic people who were oppressing the world from having global peace. That blond hair, blue eyes symbolized purity, and all others were impure.

Here is an excerpt from Hitler's Mein Kampf.  This was an account after he gave a speech before a group of over two-thousand people:

"...I had before me a hall full of people, united in a new conviction, a new faith, a new will. A fire had been kindled from the glow of which the sword was to emerge destined to restore freedom to the Germanic Siegfried and life to the German nation."

Hitler used the words "faith", "will", "freedom" the way God's saints and people taught.  The difference is saints centered on God's will, faith in God, and giving freedom through God's words.  Dictators do the same, yet all centered on themselves, not God.

There are still communist today who believe that if Hitler didn't go so far as to exterminate a population, that his prophecy would have been fulfilled, and he would have been able to unify the earth.

In a page of commentary written in the American version of Mein Kampf it said

"Hitler is the Messiah, whose faith is that which alone can save the world, in so far as the German people are concerned. Wilhelm Kube and Robert Ley, both prominent officials, have likened him to Christ."

Hitler wrote that God had given him the commission to eradicate the Jews, and raise up a new race of men, "Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator by defending against the Jew; I am fighting for the Lord."

He was correct.  He was listening to a lord, the false lord who had destroyed God's idea, stole His children, and took God's position acting as God. Of course, the lord Hitler was speaking of is Satan who rules and stolen this earth.

Since Hitler had total confidence in himself and centered on Satan, then this makes him the satanic christ.

Hitler promised that once evil people were taken out of society leaving good people on earth, then the whole world would be free. 

But based on whom?  How did Hitler judge who was evil? 

How could he look into people's heart to judge how one person was more evil than the other?  We are all born into sin.  Did he consult the Creator who is the measuring point of good?

No, Hitler judged from his own point of view.

You might be surprised when you study the communist theology of Mein Kampf or Communist Party theology.  It is very smart or else how could it still enrapture people to still fight for it to this day?  It tries to bring about global peace just like people of faith, but this ideology failed in certain points.

The reason Communism is still being accepted by its citizens is number one it's forced, and number two because it dreams to have a society that also has the idea that it would free its citizens and unite the world.

But why didn't it work?  Why can't communism spread and conquer the whole earth and bring about unity?

Because this ideology is always centered on man, and leaves God completely out of the equation.  Therefore, communism will never be able to bring absolute unity without fundamentally having God as every man's center of life.


Why Communism Fails its Citizens

When Communism is introduced into a struggling society, it promises to free the people from their enslaved circumstances and lift them up to a higher position in the world.  Although, to accomplish this, the people give up several of their God-given freedoms. 

Looking on the outside, there is order. People relinquish all of their possessions and individual desires and serve the government.  They give up their life for the benefit of the government.  To this day, those who follow the communist viewpoint hold tenaciously to it ideology because of the belief that it brings unity among its people.  Communism does bring unity to the people, through force.  On the other hand, through this, it takes away the human freedoms that God endowed and gave to every man upon creation.

Why does Communism profess the World Peace, ideal of unity and a better society when it takes away that very freedom to achieve it?

Lucifer surely knew from the beginning when he tempted humanity away from God, that God's ideal was World Peace from the beginning of creation.

Because Lucifer knew God's will he always tries to copy God's Will yet centers it on himself.  God's love, life and lineage fell to Lucifer who began the false lineage of false love, false life that has infested the earth. 

This is the reason Heaven on earth has been transformed into hell.  Our world is far from God's presence.  Many people have this truth hidden from them.  They believe that Lucifer's world and lineage is the lifeline of survival.  The hidden truth about how Lucifer stole God's ideal, His children and turned the world into a hell on earth is being revealed in the Last Days.

Does this situation make God sit up on His throne peacefully, or have a heart full of pain as would any human parent?

Lucifer, a being God created for the purpose of love, became Satan, the enemy of love.  Satan became the owner of the human lineage and God is like a father who worked all His life to create assets for His children only to have it all stolen by a thief in the middle of the night and take His children from their warm beds as well.  God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world to Satan.

The same has happened to the Messiah who has returned in our lifetime.  He has suffered inexpressible persecution and multiple imprisonment.  The Messiah's mission is to reverse all the failures of the First Adam, Jesus's incomplete mission of bringing salvation to our bodies not just our spirit, and bring our world back to God's original ideal - a peaceful World of Peace.

There is only one way to recover the realm of lineage, the right of the elder son and the right of ownership. This is the path to win the natural subjugation of Satan, to have Satan surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplish this? It is only by the power of true love, when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.

What is True Love?

Then what is true love?

Its essence is to give, to live for the sake of others and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully.

We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, such as that of a devoted son who finds his greatest satisfaction in dedicating himself with all of his body and mind to helping his parents.

When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually rejoicing in each other’s company.

The power of attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us.

Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissolve the barriers fallen people have created, including national boundaries and the barriers of race and even religion.

The main attributes of God’s true love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. Whoever practices true love will live with God, share His happiness, and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute precondition for entering the kingdom of heaven and Heaven on Earth. 

Even if Heaven on Earth appeared, if humans do not have the qualities of God, and do not live for the sake of others, they will not be able to enjoy the fruits of the history of restoration.

In other words, this world of hell will soon be transitioned from the New Testament to the Completed Testament age into a World of Peace.

Today's message was taken from Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Peace Message 3, "God's ideal family and the Kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world." to learn more about the Unification Movement, please visit, www.unificationnews.org.

Why Hell on Earth, Not Peace on Earth

 

God Also Wants Peace on EarthWhat do you think is God's ultimate purpose for creating human beings? Believe it or not, I have heard many a people who do not believe in God because fundamentalist have made them believe that God is a dictator, making humans His slaves and forcing pain and suffering unless they follow His ways. 

 

This is incorrect. 

 

God equals love, His energy is purely true love there is not one ounce of the opposite in Him.  When we look into history when people say God demanded death and wars and such, this is not true.  He works through struggles of men in order for each person to be separated from satan and sin.  He does not create wars, He uses them to bring our world closer to His original ideal which is Heaven on Earth.

 

God created humanity for one reason:

 

Simply put, it is to experience joy, through relating with ideal families that are filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like?

 

First, each person in the family is an owner of true love. When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men, and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. The quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love was to secure a parent-child relationship with God. Through this relationship, they could live attending God as their Father. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God.

I invite you to enter into a transcendent state and prayerfully ask God, "What is the center of the universe?".

The answer you hear will undoubtedly be, "the parent–child relationship". Nothing is more important or more precious than the relationship between parent and child. This is because it defines the basic relationship between the Creator God and us as human beings.

Then, what defines the parent-child relationship? -- Three things: love, life, and lineage.


God is Our Original True Parent

The first is love. We can love with true love because God, our True Parent, first loved us with true love. God created human beings out of His absolute love, to be His partners in love. This relationship forms an axis of love, linking God the Father with human beings, as His sons and daughters.

Could there be anything higher or more precious than to be a son or daughter of God?

If anything were higher, then surely human beings would aspire to attain it. But there is nothing higher. Do you think that when the omniscient, omnipotent God created Adam and Eve, He secretly reserved the highest position for Himself, and made Adam and Eve to be only second best? We cannot imagine that God would do that to His children, to His partners who share absolute love with Him.

As our eternal True Parent, God invested Himself 100-percent in the creation of human beings.  He endowed us with the right to equal status with Him, to participate in His work as equals.  Also, to live with Him, and to inherit from Him. God bestowed upon human beings all of His attributes.

Though God is the absolute being, He cannot be happy alone. Adjectives such as "good" and "happy" cannot apply to any being that lives in isolation. They apply only where there is a dynamic, mutual relationship.

Imagine a professional singer stranded on an island. She may sing at the top of her lungs, but with no one to listen, will it bring her happiness? In the same way, even the self-existent God absolutely needs a partner with whom to share love, in order to experience joy and be happy.

Next is life. How shall we live, to become God's partner and return joy to Him? In other words, how shall we live, to become children of God, people whom God delights to call "My son", or "My daughter", because He sees in us a divinity equal to His own?

How can we become God's partners in completing the work of Creation.  How do we become partners who will inherit the entire creation?

This is Reverend Sun Myung Moon's  answer: We should emulate the ideal that God set up at the beginning of His creative acts. At the beginning of the Creation, God acted upon the principle of living for the sake of others. In other words, everything that He did was for the sake of His creations, whom He hoped would develop into His partners of true love. The practice of true love is the nucleus, the center of God's creative activity.

Children Resemble Their Parents

Therefore, to become God's children, our first responsibility is to resemble Him. We need to embody true love. The way to embody true love begins with living as a devoted child, then a patriot, a saint, and finally a divine son or daughter of God. At that stage we can experience the innermost emotions of God's heart, and resolve the grief that He has experienced for tens-of-thousands of years, since the Fall of Adam and Eve.

God is almighty, yet He is imprisoned in great pain and has endured immense suffering behind the scenes of human history.  This is not due to any shortcoming or lack of ability on God's part.

Rather, there are provisions in the Principle-of-Restoration, which He has not been free to disclose, that called Him to wait with forbearance until Adam and Eve's positions, lost at the human Fall, were recovered through the appearance of the perfected "Second Adam". Although God is all-powerful, He will not set aside the eternal laws and principles that He Himself established.

God intended for the seeds He planted in the springtime of the Garden of Eden, to grow into a bountiful crop that He could harvest in the autumn. The ideal of God's creation was to raise Adam and Eve, His son and daughter, to the point where they would blossom in true love, flourish with true life, and bear fruit in a true lineage. God desired to gather up owners, and families of eternal life, eternal love, and eternal lineage, and to bring about His kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world as their homeland.

The Importance of Lineage

Do you know what has pained God's heart the most, and what causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve?

Lineage.

When God lost His children Adam and Eve, God lost His lineage. And with the loss of His lineage, He lost His right of ownership.

Let's talk about lineage for a moment. Lineage is more important than life, and more important than love. When life and love come together, this creates lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three qualities that define the parent-child relationship -- love, life, and lineage -- lineage is the fruit.

God's lineage contains the seed of true love. God's lineage provides the context and environment for a true life. Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage.

To take it one step further, only when we are linked to God's lineage is it possible to create God's homeland, the ideal nation, the ideal World of Peace. Only when we are linked to God's lineage is it possible to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. It is important that all people know the importance on lineage and carry it in their hearts.

Without lineage, neither life nor love can endure. You strive to set a good tradition, but it will endure only through your lineage. Lineage is the bridge allowing the parents' spirit to carry on, through generation after generation. In other words, lineage is the first and final condition necessary, for parents to harvest the fruits of their love, the fruits of their life and the fruits of their joy. We need to know this with certainty.

Yet, when Adam and Eve fell, this lineage, more precious than life, was lost. The fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with Heaven.Then their descendants multiplied to six-billion people that now inhabit the earth.

God's Suffering in Search of the True Parents

False love, false life, and false lineage infested the earth. God's love, God's life, and God's lineage fell into the hands of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love. Heaven and earth were suffocated and transformed into hell. The world became a wretched place, far from God's presence. Yet, humanity to this day lives in ignorance of this.

People are deluded into believing that the lineage of the enemy is the lifeline upon which the world depends. They faithfully believe that this world is the world that God created and wished for His children from the beginning.  This is the wretched truth about humanity which descended from the Fall. That is why we refer to this world as "hell on earth". God views humanity's tragic situation with a heart that aches as any parent for their lost children.

After creating Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God intended to marry them with His Holy (Marriage) Blessing, and bequeath to them Heaven's right of ownership. God wanted Adam and Eve to inherit from Him the ownership of the entire universe.

However, all of this came under Satan's control because of the Fall. God is like a father who labored and sweat, his entire life, to accumulate assets for his children, only to have a thief steal everything overnight.

Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God?

God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world to Satan. This is the origin of hell on earth.  There was only one way to recover this lineage and ownership.

This was the path to win the natural subjugation, winning over Satan.  In other words, to have Satan surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplish this? How does one win over the enemy?

It can only be accomplished by the power of true love. When we love our enemies more than we love our own children we exalt true love.

Has there ever been a time when God could rejoice with human beings, as their True Father and True Mother, enjoying the natural bonds of parent and child? Has God enjoyed even a year of comfort with His children, knowing that what He created developed exactly as planned and is perfected?

The answer is no; God has not experienced such joy for even one hour. And has anyone been able to comfort God in this pain?

No, because no one has known the reason for the unbridgeable gap that has separated God from humankind for tens-of-thousands of years. No one has known why God and humanity are in such a tragic situation.


Cain and Abel, Brothers Began First Human Conflict

The biblical account of Cain and Abel reveals the beginnings of human conflict, even within Adam's family. It reveals the archetype for humankind's unending history of struggle, war, and conflict. We are in conflict on many levels.  Man's struggle begins with the war between mind and body within each individual, and extends to wars between nations, and even to the global conflict between materialism and theism.

Extreme, selfish individualism threatens our prosperity even today in developed countries. We deem young people to be the hope of humanity holding the promise for the future, but drugs and free sex enslave them. Advanced countries seem to believe that material goods are all that matter. They recognize only their own interests, while ignoring the misery of tens-of-thousands who die of starvation every day.

Who can untie this ancient knot of Cain and Abel, brother fighting brother? It has been tightened for thousands of years and grows ever more entangled.

God longed with all His heart that someone would appear and resolve these tragedies, but no such person appeared on earth. God waited and waited, looking for anyone who would take on the role of the physical True Parent of humanity. If someone had come forward, I am certain that God would have appeared in his dreams, carried the sun and moon to him, and showered him with lightning of joy and thunder of ecstasy from the heavens.

In this sense, it is a miracle of miracles, that for the first time in history, a man has indeed succeeded in attaining the position of restored Adam.  He has secured the status of the owner of true love, and received God's anointing as the True Parent of humanity. It is an amazing fact, that his lifetime coincides with yours, and that you and he breathe the same air.

He is the horizontal True Parent, who comes to rescue fallen humanity. Reverend Moon gained the victory in that position fulfilling the role of completing Jesus's mission which was to become a true man and then to take on a true wife.  In all of history we heard of man being restored reversing Adam's mistake.  Yet, we never dreamed of a true woman who would reverse the mistake Eve had made by following and believing in Satan's words 'to eat' instead of God's until our time.

The Messiah has returned and not alone.  He as True Father has been blessed in God's Holy Marriage blessing to a True Mother.  Now God has been liberated from his prison which Satan kept him when he stole God's ownership and his children.

In all of history, this was the highest and greatest blessing humanity has ever received. This victory was absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. Through this absolute, providential victory, God's body and mind are completely liberated!
