A Life of Accomplishment

1. God has been searching for His sons and daughters and the lost creation, struggling to recover the world of creation's original nature.

God yearns to feel eternal joy by bequeathing this great, eternal, and sacred achievement to the owner of the ideal world. You need to know that, despite His sorrow, God longs to bless us all the more.

Therefore, you should be able to say to Him, “We are new sons and daughters in front of the Will. Please let us stand as true families and become Your glorious incarnations who, as true husbands and wives with true children, can govern all creation.” You have to fulfill the mission of serving the True Parents by becoming true children with the right to eternal glory given by God.

You need to let the True Parents rest, and then, together with the True Parents, all of us should let God rest. When this happens, the absolute, good God can finally reign over us as our Father, and over the whole world as King. The kingdom of heaven will be realized on earth. (12-282, 1963.07.26)

Revealing providential secrets

2. Rebekah, standing in Eve's position, made it possible for her two sons Esau and Jacob to unite, and therefore resurrect her family's position on God's side. Jacob restored the rights of the eldest son and also restored the family that was lost in the Garden of Eden.

When Jacob and Esau fought in Rebekah's womb, Rebekah prayed to God and asked, "Why are these two fighting?" God answered dearly, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger." (Gen. 25:23)

This meant that the eldest son would descend, and the second son would rise. At that point in history, however, the reclamation of the right of the eldest son remained conceptual. Tamar faced a similar situation.

When she was pregnant, her twins Perez and Zerah were fighting in her womb just before their birth. "While she was in labor, one put out a hand; and the midwife took and bound on his hand a crimson thread, saying, 'This came out first.' But just then he drew back his hand, and out came his brother; and she said, 'What a breach you have made for yourself!' Therefore he was named Perez." (Gen. 38:28-29)

In this case, Perez, still in the womb, reversed the original birth order by which he was the second son, thereby reclaiming the lost position of the eldest son and gaining the right to become an ancestor of King David.

God's response to Rebekah's prayer is related to the process of restoration. For well over four thousand years until the present day, this process has been a mystery. Only God and Satan knew the answer. Satan is the false parent. God's hope is the True Parents.

The True Parents are the original, true owners of the family desired by God in the Garden of Eden. Today the True Parents have unraveled the restoration mystery. God works through the second to fulfill the history of restoration, and He even goes inside the womb to do so. God's lineage cannot be established in any other way. (277-257, 1996.04.18)

3. Jesus came as the Messiah and with the name of the True Parent, but he was killed; therefore he must come again. He has now come for the second time to work toward reclaiming ownership.

I came by the providential age and resolved all the essential mysteries of nature, the mysteries of God, the secret crimes hidden by Satan, and all the mysteries of history and the philosophers.

All who know of this cannot deny it is true. Anyone with an education knows that regardless of what your social status, if you graduated from elementary school you are an elementary school graduate, and if you graduated from middle or high school you are a middle or high school graduate.

This is a positive heavenly principle. Even if heavenly sons and daughters are born with the foundation of liberation to enter heaven, they still have to go through Heaven's Ph.D. course.

Therefore, the Unification Church needs to show people how to become Heaven's sons and daughters, and even high-ranking ministers in Heaven's realm. This is why everyone needs to walk this path. (408-102, 2003.05.31)

4. True Parents' words are more precious than the American Constitution. There is only one set of True Parents and their time only comes once. It did not occur in the past, and it will not occur in the future.

True Parents will have existed in substantial form only during this age. For all eternity, there will be just this one time. Therefore, True Parents are openly revealing Heaven's mysteries, these previously hidden truths.

Furthermore, I have already implemented these concepts to create a new reality. Until now, Satan has controlled everything, but since I have revealed the truth, all is now clear, and Satan cannot be in charge anymore. God acknowledges this fact. If we follow this teaching, our perfection is not a problem. (246-085, 1993.03.23)

5. Invisible love has the power to penetrate infinitely, and its value lies in unseen things. God's infinite love for the sake of others is the love that is characterized by investing your life in another and then forgetting what you have invested.

When you become an object to life itself, suddenly you are stimulated and resurrected explosively.

That's why Jesus said, "For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it." (Matt. 16:25)

You need to remain at the zero point, unattached. Act as if you are at the point of death. Throughout my life, I have been revealing the secrets of heavenly truth and applying them. So even though the world may shout, “Kill him!” I keep going forward, no matter how loud they shout. No matter how difficult, receiving persecution is God's secondary strategy to take back ownership of the oppressors.

This is why I never grew tired even though I was persecuted throughout my life. I may look like an insignificant person, but I am the son whom God the owner of heaven and earth and the truth, loves more than anyone else. Receiving persecution can be used as a tactic to take back ownership from one's enemies. (258-051, 1994.03.16)

6. All people need to perfect themselves by passing through the realm of the Principle into the realm of God's direct dominion. The Fall occurred during this process. Humankind fell without knowing God's love.

Only God and Satan knew about this. Adam and Eve did not know. The human ancestors fell due to their ignorance. Therefore, all human beings cannot help but face this hidden obstacle. Even the teachings of all the sacred scriptures have not been able to fully reveal this truth.

The True Parents, who become the parents of humanity, are destined to reveal it. To reveal the reason and logic of heaven and earth, you must know how to fundamentally turn history upside down. (272-298, 1995.10.13)

7. Why does the omniscient and omnipotent God seemingly do nothing about this miserable world? The answer is that God cannot act arbitrarily. Even though He has the power to exterminate fallen humankind in a single stroke, He does not punish or restrain them.

The various world religions have not grasped that the existence of a fallen lineage caused the fallen world. Now finally, in the name of the True Parents, all the facts regarding the spirit world have been laid out in detail.

The Unification Principle has revealed the motivation behind the Fall, including both God's mysteries and Satan's secret crimes. With this knowledge, to harmonize the spirit world and physical world, which historically have been divided and in conflict, we seek to resolve and reconcile the fundamental issues of the spirit world, the physical world, and human life. (304-214, 1999.11.08)

Ending the long struggle between Cain and Abel

8. God wanted to use Cain and Abel to clean up the mess created by the Fall of Adam and Eve. Instead, God had to bear witness to yet another failure. He had to suffer the horrible event of Cain killing Abel.

Although blood was not shed during the Fall, it led to blood being spilled subsequently in human history. Human beings should have learned from this history of bloodshed and reconciled with each other.

However, they were unable to do so. Moreover, they did not unite with Heaven. Therefore, for example, God was forced to strike humanity and wash everything clean with the Flood during Noah's time. (64-210, 1972.11.12)

9. Cain and Abel clashed in Adam's family. Due to their division, ages of conflict ensued. Cain and Abel's enmity exacerbated the conflict between mind and body, between spouses, between father and son, between mother and daughter, and between siblings.

These conflicts are all connected and have expanded to tribes, peoples, and nations. They in turn have caused countless divisions and a history of war.
(512-258, 2005.12.26)

10. Although Cain had the right of the firstborn son, God put his younger brother Abel in that position. Since then, the tragedy of Abel's spilled blood has expanded to the entire history of humanity, which has been a history of war.

People in the position of the elder brother, people of influence, have been blocking people in the position of the younger brother who sought to follow their parents' way and become true people. This historical Cain and Abel relationship and the problem of their lineage still need to be resolved.

The mother and the sons and daughters also lost their right of ownership, as well as their hometown and their nation. These must be regained as well, and because these incidents occurred first in the family, they must be rectified first in the family. (514-203, 2006.01.10)

11. A fight among siblings cannot be settled amicably without the parents' involvement. Parents must stand up to this task. Heavenly fortune cannot manifest until the first son is liberated, and the two sons are reconciled.

Likewise, your mind and body must become one for you to be blessed. This is the Cain and Abel principle. In the relationship between men and women, the husband is a plus and the wife is a minus.

These two represent Cain and Abel; they need to become one and should not fight. Originally, the principle was that they become one. However, since they became separated, they must unite again. (194-331, 1989.10.30)

12. In the same way that Cain and Abel became a kingdom in Adam's family, Catholics, and Protestants have become kingdoms on a global scale. To unite completely, they need to enter the realm of unfallen Adam.

Jesus lost his body; therefore, he was able to become only the spiritual parent, not the substantial parent. Therefore, we need the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The new Lord must come, perfect the realm of True Parents, and then conduct the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. (303-259, 1999.09.09)

13. You know the story of Cain and Abel in Adam's family. If Cain had fulfilled his providential role, Abel could have started on his path. Knowing this, if you look at Jesus' life in the context of history, the age before Jesus belongs to Cain's world, and the age after him belongs to Abel's world.

Jesus, God's second son, became the owner of Abel's worldwide realm. He was the first leader to begin to construct Abel's world. Before him, Cain's world had prevailed. It was a world centered on the self.

That world must be cleaned up and brought to surrender, and then for the first time the two brothers should be able to stand as children united to welcome the True Parents. (15-115, 1965.10.03)

14. The True Parents need to come to this world and resolve Cain and Abel's resentment, caused by Adam and Eve. In this process, the brothers need to embrace one another, be there for each other,r and open their hearts to the point where they would lay down their lives for one another.

Then True Parents, with the heart to save all people, can bind all humanity together. That way a new foundation for a heavenly life on earth can be built.
(16-189, 1966.03.22)

15. Through the Fall of Adam and Eve, humanity lost its True Parents and God. Furthermore, because Cain killed Abel, the love between the brothers was lost. Therefore, Men humanity was unable to face God and now needed to find God, their parents, and Abel.

People need to find the type of Abel whom Cain would not beat to death, the type of Abel who would win his fight with Satan. If you find such an Abel, you can become sons and daughters with the authority to judge between good and evil on God's behalf. (16-198, 1966.03.22)

16. When God created human beings, He created Adam first. Therefore, when God raises the True Parents, He raises Adam first. God has worked throughout history to find one Adam as a seed.

He has been raising this seed to reach perfection. God has carried out His providence throughout history, through Cain and Abel in Adam's family, through Noah's sons, through Abraham, and Jacob and Esau.

God's providence has developed from the individual level to the family, tribe, and national level, and finally culminates at the time of the Second Advent.
(52-124, 1971.12.26)

17. True Parents can be raised only on the foundation of Cain and Abel's unity. When this principle is successfully applied on the individual level, Cain submits to Abel.

Hence, Abel becomes positioned as the elder brother, and Cain, standing in the position of the younger brother, attends and obeys Abel even more than Abel would have attended and obeyed the original, unfallen elder brother Cain. Only then is redemption possible. (131-182, 1984.05.01)

Living to Become, True Parents

18. The returning Lord's mission is to qualify to be the bridegroom, but more than anything he has to meet the criteria to become a True Parent.

To do so, he and his bride have to be acknowledged as the True Parents before heaven and earth and receive God's recognition as a true, filial son and a true, devoted daughter. The feast celebrating the emergence of the devoted son and daughter is called the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. (9-107, 1960.04.24)

19. All the past pioneers who have sought the truth will bestow on us the seal of victors when we digest the sorrow and agony of the ages. Then, before God and the True Parents, we have to stand up as true husband and wife, true children, true siblings, true people, and the true nation in the true heaven and earth.

Be aware that when you embrace this agonized heart and do not allow it to falter, you will remain as that nation's loyal citizens and virtuous people, and you will assume the position of devoted sons and daughters. (7-099, 1959.07.19)

20. God, rather than Satan, should have become the owner of this world. In that case, Adam and Eve as humanity's unfallen ancestors, as the True Parents, would have become the owners as well.

Then their family, in which true sons and daughters would have dwelled, would have become the owner. The original ideal was that subsequently their tribe, their nation, and their world would have become the owners. (108-021, 1980.06.13)

21. The term True Parents was unfamiliar to you. The distance between all of you and the True Parents is very great. There are many walls dividing individuals, families, tribes, peoples, nations, the world, and the cosmos.

The True Parents triumphed by surmounting these walls. Thus, to inherit the name of your true parents, you must also surmount these walls. You can do so by first building a family bridge over the wall between individuals.

Then you erect a tribal bridge over the wall between families and go on to build bridges over the walls between tribes, peoples, and nations and finally, at the world level.

After you have finished building these bridges, you will be able to cross over all these walls at once and go straight to the top. These bridges will be stronger than stone and iron. (220-197, 1991.10.19)

22. Adam's family could not enter heaven. Therefore, True Parents must come and gather all the families of the world. They have to open heaven's gates and enter with all people by perfecting Adam's family, Adam's tribe, people, nation, world, and heaven and earth, according to the standard of the kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven.

A path must be opened, so the world's people can transcend their nations and move in the same direction. The only viable path is where all families follow the True Parents. That is how each family can be resurrected.

Entering heaven will then be possible through resurrection. Adam's kinsmen will be prepared exactly as if Adam had returned and received the Blessing. Adam, who became the false parent, will come again as the True Parent.

When that happens, the cosmos will be organized with Adam and Eve as the True Parents at the center of the true tribe, people, nation, and world. We cannot enter heaven before this is achieved, before the True Parents have entered first, followed by the children.

Therefore, we have to be engrafted as blood relatives of the True Parents, connected in a parent-child relationship to the True Parents. We need to become true children of the True Parents.

That is what the blessed family is about. The present world is the way it is because the Fall occurred in Adam's family. So the result of turning it upside down is the blessed family. (277-221, 1996.04.18)

23. What will happen in the families that become one with the True Parents and receive the Blessing? What will happen when they enter the realm of ideal oneness in a subject-object relationship with the True Parents? By following and inheriting True Parents' entire life course, the blessed family that becomes their object partner will be able to make the transition without paying indemnity.

You will be able to stand as a true object partner in the realm of the True Parents, qualified to inherit their heart on the level of the family, the tribe, the people, the nation,n, and the world. (263-204, 1994.10.04)

24. If I had not appeared as your teacher, it would have been impossible for all of you to unite. Unity cannot come about without the True Parents. The words True Parents should not be pronounced lightly, just to hear the sound.

The world needs to learn the inside story of how far I have run and how high I have climbed to become a True Parent. True Parents are proclaimed now because all the conditions for them to become True Parents have been fulfilled based on their recognition by God and all the pioneers and prophets in the spirit world.
