1. Due to the Fall, humanity is sick. The only doctor that can cure this illness is God. There have been numerous religions throughout history, but the founders of those religions were just messengers.
As messengers, they could only prepare medicine according to the methods shown to them by Heaven, and then deliver it. How will humanity finally be saved? Even if people take that medicine, and even if they improve, it does not mean they are cured.
In the end, they must go through a process in total alignment with God's instructions. Unless they do so, the providence of salvation cannot be completed. (115-124, 1981.11.08)
Salvation in the spirit world and the physical world
2. When the Messiah comes to humankind, he brings a teaching of equality. God is fair; hence the Messiah who is sent by God to save all fallen people treats everyone fairly.
He comes with a purpose that is fair to everyone, to create an environment in which all people are equal. Thus, anyone who unites with him can be his disciple.
What path does the Messiah follow? He walks the path from the bottom of hell in the human world up to the most glorious realms. This means there is no place he will not go, putting his life on the line to save each person. (091-278, 1977.02.27)
3. Looking back through history, we see that there have been many prophets and saints. They may have accomplished some kind of outward unity, but as they could not attain mind-body unity, they inevitably encountered fundamental limitations. Now, however, the True Parents have come to earth with God's true love.
By establishing the True Family, they are bringing about an ideal society. They have formed the mainstream realm for God's providence of salvation. True Parents are the mediators who engraft all people to God.
We cannot go to God without the True Parents. True Parents are the ones who show us the only path by which we can be saved from the realm of the Fall.

4. True Parents came with the right of kingship over the spirit world and the physical world. For this right of kingship to take effect in the spirit world, they had to lay the foundation of unity there β a foundation at the formation level of the growth stage.
Otherwise, the spirit world could not participate in True Parent's work on earth, where they fulfilled the standard of perfection. That is why True Parents had to make these preparations.
The spirit world was supposed to have been united and connected to the earthly foundation based on the love of True Parents, but everything was blocked. But now that Jesus and my son Heung Jin have become one, the barriers are being removed and Jesus, through Heung Jin, can come down and communicate with True Parents' family on earth.

Cleaning up Satan's world
5. The world is confused, and the source of this concision is the family; Families are breaking down and teenagers are being corrupted. This is the world-level fruit of Adam and Eve, who in their youth caused the breakdown of the Adams family in the Garden of Eden. God could not do anything about this.
Those who are working for the providential will cannot stop thisοΌ not even Satan can. Then who will resolve this problem? Adam and Eve were the ones who sinned. As false parents, they brought about false love, false life, and false lineage.
Therefore, True Parents must come and uncover all of Satan's secrets and the secrets of the spirit world. With this knowledge,e they must inherit everything from both worlds β the democratic world and the communist world β and embrace everyone from both the right wing and the left wing.
Jesus could not bring such opposites together, so division and conflict remain to this day. To bring them into unity, True Parents must embrace the democratic world and the communist world, that is idealism and materialism.

6. From the viewpoint of God's providence, the realm of victory between Cain and Abel must be attained in the Last Days, centered on Eve. In alignment with God, the victorious side must absorb Satan's side. When that happens, the family, tribe, people, and nation based on the perfected Adam can emerge.
Once the left and right are both pulled to God's side by Adam, Satan's world will disappear. This should have happened immediately after the Second World War. Great Britain, an island nation, represented Eve.
Under the leadership of Great Britain, the positions of Abel and the archangel were set up. The United States, the nation born of Great Britain, was in Abel's position. France, a former enemy of England, was in the position of the archangel.
Eve, Abel, and the archangel were united representing God's side. In opposition to them, Japan, also an island nation, represented Eve on Satan's side. Germany was the Abel nation on Satan's side, and Italy was in the role of the archangel.
The Second World War thus saw a global division and a battle between the two camps. The Allied nations' historic victory brought about a unified world centered on God; at that time the realm of religion had unified the world.

7. If we do not know history clearly, we cannot perceive God's providence. The fact that after the Second World War the Eve nation, Abel nation, and archangel nation on Satan's side became nations on God's side is a sign of the Last Days. These are the end times. Yet although the Cain and Abel nations had united, they still inherited the lineage of Satan.
Their lineage still had to be completely restored through indemnity for them to return to God. For Eve, Cain, and Abel to become a daughter and sons on God's side, they must dean up everything on Satan's side and inherit the seed of a new life centered on true love. The one in the flesh who bequeaths that seed of new life is none other than the Lord of the Second Advent, the Savior, and True Parents. (235-014, 1992.08.24)
8. For the True Parents to stand in that position, everything throughout heaven and earth that has been overturned by Adam, the false parent, has to be put right. Any condition by which Satan could accuse needs to be completely corrected.
Because I am striving to achieve that, Satan has mobilized the world to attack me all along the way. He led the world to attack me as an individual, to attack my family, and to attack my tribe.
Even though Satan blocked the path I took as an individual and as a family, and continued to block my way as I walked the path of the tribe, people, nation, world, and cosmos, through my effort I have removed all these obstacles.
(210-244, 1990.12.23)
9. The purpose of the providence of salvation is for God and the Messiah, the True Parents, to unite and liberate the world. You now stand at the very edge of destruction. If you take just one more step you will fall off, so you had better turn around.
To do so, you need to have a love greater than Satan's temptation; that is the only way to liquidate his claim against you. How can you liberate God and True Parents? God has been carrying out His work of re-creation to this day. Re-creation is carried out by investing and forgetting, then investing and forgetting again, in true love.
Wherever I go, Satan's walls collapse. The walls around individuals, the walls around families, the walls around tribes, peoples, nations, and the world are all collapsing. Why? The right of the eldest son has been restored. The right of the king is being restored. These are the positions that originally belonged to Adam. (216-231, 1991.04.01)
10. Representing humankind, the True Parents are opening the gates of hell and the gates of the kingdom of heaven and building a highway going straight to the kingdom of heaven. The highway to the kingdom of heaven was the original foundation and blessing that God gave to His children, Adam and Eve.
However, people who are in the spirit world do not want to hear the screams of those in hell or see the complicated spiritual environments in hell or paradise or anywhere else. All they want to see is an environment that is linked to God's kingdom.
Who will resolve this? The True Parents will. True Parents are expanding us into a true family, true tribe, and true nation. As a true nation, true world, and true cosmos emerge, everything on earth and in heaven that resulted from the Fall will collapse. (293-305, 1998.06.07)
The liberation of God
11. During the forty years since the True Parents' Holy Wedding, we have paid the indemnity for four thousand years of history and opened a new age. We have opened a realm of blessing for all people so that they may abide within the realm of liberation.
The worst problems now are related to youth and the breakdown of families. There is no sovereign, no teacher, no one to solve these problems except the True Parents. I have the special authority to do so. I have resolved all the hidden resentments accumulated in history, in the spirit world, and on earth.
Furthermore, I have paid indemnity for everything and attained victory, so when you determine to become one with me through absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, day and night, centered on true love, you can rise. God has authorized the True Parents to form a lineage of true love, a clan of true love, and a people of true love.
Therefore, your blessed families are more precious than anyone else in history. This is how the True Parents pass down heaven's treasures to each family.
(320-155, 2000.04.02)
12. How will you settle Satan's claim against you? How will you liberate God and True Parents?
Throughout history, much indemnity has been paid. By carrying out your mission as tribal messiahs, you can liberate God and True Parents. The nation, world, and cosmos are all connected to you in this.
Originally, you should have gone through the course of a tribal messiah, a national messiah, a world messiah, and a cosmic messiah to connect to God. These things have all been done by the True Parents; you have only your mission as a tribal messiah. (216-235, 1991.04.01)
13. Why am I your Father? Are you of my seed? I am the True Father who can connect you to God's original love. What was the Fall? The parents who should have been your true ancestors foiled to connect you to God's love.
Your parents also cannot do this. But True Parents have the special authority to connect you to God's love. Under the circumstances, is it righteous or evil to ignore the words of your parents and listen instead to the words of True Parents? With True Parents, you are listening to the principles of the cosmos, so it is righteous to listen to them. (118-148, 1982.05.23)
14. The Marriage of the Lamb takes place in the Completed Testament Age. That marriage did not happen during the Old Testament Age, and although it was supposed to happen in the New Testament Age, it was postponed.
What was postponed is completed when the Lord of the Second Advent comes in the Last Days and holds the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. It is through this marriage that we are to arrive at perfection.
We can call this era the global era of perfection through marriage. In this era, when people become one with God and attain perfection through marriage, they can enter the kingdom of heaven.
Hence, it is on earth that the kingdom of heaven will emerge. Due to the Fall, two paths were formed, so we must find the right path. We must make it possible for the people of the world to enter the kingdom of heaven.
The way to the kingdom of heaven has been blocked ever since the Fall. That kingdom has been empty for thousands of years. But through the Blessing, the kingdom of heaven will be filled instantly.
The people of the world will realize one united world with a culture of freedom. (293-318, 1998.06.07)
15. What is the mission of the Unification Church? It is not to look forward to a time of hope, as Christians do. Our mission is to move forward centered on the substantial people who fulfill that hope.
They are the True Parents, and they are our standard. The True Parents must be the link between God, the hearth, and the spirit world. They must connect not only with God and with all the people on the earth but also with the angelic world. In this way, they must establish the authority of God to directly govern the universe, and at the same time become the center that guides the universe to pursue God's one purpose.
Then God's purpose and His great work of creation will be accomplished.
