Satan Claims that God Must Love Him

Because You, the Father who follows the Principle, created me as the archangel, it was a fundamental rule that before falling, I would have been able to receive Your love.

    Through this ceremony, the environmental conditions necessary for all humankind to be able to participate in the Blessing have been created, and all people connected to the mainstream ideal can now belong to You through attending it. This amazing and incredible miracle has been wrought, not just by the work of the Unification Church but also by the joint efforts of Yourself and the spirit world. Therefore, I hope and pray that You can forever hold the victorious dominion and sovereignty of eternal love and glory gained from this ceremony, and establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in the spirit world through the liberation achieved by this Blessing. All humankind connected to the 360 Million Couples can now unite in heart and strive to achieve the unity of mind and body, husband and wife, and within the tribe, race, nation, world, and cosmos. These couples have been established as the nucleus representing the True Parents on earth and the family in the garden of Your love. They have been blessed in order to complete the Kingdom of Heaven on earth with the sovereignty of the love central to the ideal of creation, which has been Your eternal dream.
    I stand before them on this occasion which You have long desired, and bless them to become Your children who from this moment can inherit Your will to build Your kingdom on earth and in heaven as true individuals by uniting mind and body, husband and wife, parents and children, and with their siblings in the blessed world. Please be with them and bless them as they march forward to the place of victory and glory. I pronounce my benediction upon the 360 million Couples in the name of the True Parents! Amen! Amen! Amen! (299-109, 1999.2.7)

    When God looks for a partner of absolute love, whom does He seek? We can conclude with certainty that He seeks a human being. Therefore we find the old proverb, “Amongst all creation, human beings are most precious.” What does this mean? We can reach the logical conclusion that humankind can be the partner of the Creator’s eternal love, and it is natural that the partner who is one with God’s love will live forever.
    Eternal life is a natural implication of this logic. Eternal life begins from here. The question of how to establish a rational argument for eternal life based on the relationship of love is an extremely precious one in religion. Eternal life cannot be found in only man or only woman. It cannot be found in God alone. We can conclude that eternal life lies within God’s love. (218-211, 1991.7.29)

3.2. Satan’s activities and the victory in the eight stages

Summary:
Satan historically holds onto creation across eight developmental stages—from the individual up to heaven and earth 🌌—by demanding that God and humanity show love toward him as a condition for returning creation to God’s dominion. To overcome this accusation and break Satan’s claim, Rev. Sun Myung Moon describes an unprecedented path of indemnity marked by enduring extreme hardship with joy rather than self-pity 😭. Ultimately, the passage asserts that achieving a historical utopia and directly connecting with God requires a course of absolute self-denial 🌿 across all eight levels (individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, heaven and earth, and God) to establish a fresh spiritual beginning ✨.

#209 – Why Is Sexual Abstinence Before Marriage the Best Choice for Teens and Young Adults?

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1381

Now everyone has to know about the Unification Church. It has become such a matter of common knowledge that those who are ignorant of it would be considered as having no common sense. It is true. People who haven’t heard of the Unification Church would be considered to be good-for-nothings. You will experience this all too well if you go abroad. If they ask you where you are from and you answer, “Korea!” they will automatically ask you, “What is this I hear about the 30,000-Couple wedding?” If you were not present at the ceremony, you should say at the very least, “I saw it on television.” If they ask you, “How was it?” you cannot just say, “It was magnificent!” and stop there. When they ask you, “So it was magnificent, but who was there?” you would have to describe to them every aspect of the ceremony, wouldn’t you? The same is true for me.
Three days ago, when returning from a banquet held at the Little Angels Performing Arts Center, I was informed that over 400 people had not been matched as yet and that they were gathered at some place waiting for me, even though the wedding was scheduled to take place the following day. So I went straight there and matched them until 4:00 a.m., and as I left the hall, it started to rain in torrents. “If I were to have 30,000 couples standing to attention as I blessed them in such weather, with torrential rain and flashes of lightning, it would truly be a historic event!” As this thought flashed across my mind, I was rather pleased and encouraged.

    Since God possesses dual characteristics, His masculinity is to enter Adam’s mind. Thus, He becomes the internal Father. He comes into the position of the internal Father. In 1 Corinthians it is written, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple?” It says our bodies are temples, wherein God can dwell. This is only too true. Since God exists as the Subject with dual characteristics, Adam is the visible representation of His invisible masculinity. Hence, Adam is God’s body represented substantially. Behind Adam, the father of humanity and the substantiated corporeal form of the incorporeal being, God was meant to stand in the position of the internal Father. (139-233, 1986.1.31)

3.1. The eight vertical and horizontal stages in the course of restoration through indemnity

Summary:
Human history and the Unification Church follow an eight-stage process of restoration—both horizontally (from the individual up to the world, heaven and earth, and God’s love 🌌) and vertically (from a servant of servants up to true parents and God 👑). The passage explains that each level is completed within the next broader stage, requiring individuals to deny themselves, endure hardship, and progress through these stages so that all of heaven and earth can ultimately unite around God’s love 💖.

Mother Had to Be Less than 20 Years Old

    People who just live comfortably within their families are fools. They can only stay within the confines of the family Kingdom of Heaven. That is why I am telling you to become representative and central families. That is why I am telling you that the way of filial children, patriots, saints and divine sons and daughters is the path you must take. Naturally, it is the path you must inevitably follow.
    This is why you are to become filial children in the family. Next, you are to become patriots in the nation. From the time of their birth, loyal subjects or patriots do not stray from their duty. They must proceed, remaining focused night or day. Throughout my life, whether asleep or awake, I never lost my focus on God’s will. Rising from my bed, I keep going. For a thousand years and even ten thousand years, I keep going. It is because I have gained this kind of victory that I am able to tell you that, even if you had been unable to fulfill your responsibilities as tribal messiahs, you can still wipe out all your past mistakes by fulfilling your responsibilities as national messiahs. This is where you should become filial children and patriots. Pray for your brothers and sisters with the heart of loving the nations of the world. Only in this way can you appear before God’s royal presence with the status of divine sons and daughters following their Parents. (283-77, 1997.4.8)

In the spirit world, there is no need to study languages. You will know everything in a week. You will know all the thoughts that arise in the mind. You will know them even before they are expressed. Therefore, people cannot be deceived. In that world, you will gaze upon people who are revealed in your searchlight. You should know how to pass through that light safely, without any problem, and connect with your original position – this is your lifetime task. (205-67, 1990.7.7)

2.2. Selecting True Mother

Summary:
Rev. Sun Myung Moon selected an unworldly, teenage bride under 20 years old to restore the original Fall of Adam and Eve, which occurred during their teenage years 🌸. He bypassed educated, adult women in his church to fulfill specific spiritual conditions, choosing a bride with a simplified family background who had no father or brothers 📜. The passage explains that after their marriage, strict rules were imposed—such as requiring his mother-in-law to use only the back gate for three years—to maintain the spiritual parallel of Eve having no mother in the Garden of Eden 🌿.

True Mother Could Have Been a Member of the British Royal Family

Doesn’t that belong to the realm of Christian culture? Britain gave birth to America.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1535

At the time of creation, God stood in the position of having exercised absolute faith, love, and obedience, but because human beings failed to form families that could stand as object partners to Him, they consequently fell into hell. We are now living in the time when everything that was lost in Adam’s family can be restored worldwide through absolute faith, love and obedience on the unified foundation of True Parents’ realm of victory. Unification Church members must therefore inherit and practice absolute faith, love and obedience centering on the True Parents. True Parents inherited these absolute traditions from God, and so you should inherit these traditions in turn. Do you understand? Then God’s blessing will be with you. (1996.11.3)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1138

There can be no perfection in ignorance. Who is Satan? To God, he is an adulterer. I clarified this matter, but can you go to heaven if you close your eyes to this fact? Can you receive salvation if you close your eyes to it? That is nonsensical. Fruitless and unreasonable people! If one could be saved by believing in that, someone like me would have already been saved many times over. I would not have suffered like this. (188230, 1989.2.26)

Summary:
Had Christian nations supported his mission after World War II, a British woman could have filled the role of Mother 👑; however, due to the opposition from Christianity, True Mother was chosen in Korea in 1960. She then had to endure a strict seven-year course of indemnity, absolute obedience, and severe persecution—reflecting the principle of restoring Eve’s failure during the second seven-year period of growth—before God’s Day could be established in 1968 🕊️. Ultimately, this seven-year course of indemnity is a necessary requirement that all Blessed couples must complete to enter heaven .

What Does the Savior Come to Do?

He does not come for the sake of politics.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1933

    Human history began with the tragic incident known as the Fall of Adam and Eve. It is a matter of fact that we must all shoulder the responsibility for this act and resolve this issue. However, when we study the passage in the Bible that Eve was the first to fall and began the history of sin, we can see that the providence requires that an age must come in human history in which women will lead the way to redeem the Fall of Eve. We can see that the ideological trends in the 20th century, such as the movement of women seeking true liberation, indicate that women have begun to stand up for the sake of world peace. Since I know that such is the providence of God, I founded the Women’s Federation for World Peace in April, 1992, together with my wife.
    The age of women came in the 1990s, and is a world-wide trend that will continue into the twenty-first century. We may say that love and cooperation, and the spirit of resolution and harmony, will fulfill a historical contribution towards world peace. This worldwide age of women means that the age of island nations will bear the characteristics of women. In this way, the age of women and the age of island nations are intimately linked together. The time when women stand up for world peace is the time when island nations should also stand up for worldwide cooperation. Now is the opportunity for island and oceanic nations to fulfill their glorious and historical missions of realizing world peace. Is there a mission of greater glory than this?

Cheon Seong Gyeong 786

    The more love people have for each other, the more they want to be together. Once there was a man whose wife died young, and who then remained single for the rest of his life, carrying her handkerchief. Nehru was this kind of person; having lost his wife when she was young, he wore roses on his clothes the rest of his life because his wife loved roses. When God created His most precious son and daughter, did He create them to perish after one hundred years? Therefore, we can understand the fundamental principle that human beings live eternally.

Summary:
The savior comes not as a harsh judge or political figure, but as a loving parent who strives unconditionally to save humanity from suffering rather than condemn them 🕊️. Rev. Sun Myung Moon describes feeling deep humility and shame despite enduring decades of intense personal hardship to resolve millions of years of human grief and bitterness through the Unification Church 📜. Ultimately, God desires His children to love all creation and return to Him as even greater beings, using the symbolic breakdown of the Chinese characters in the name “Sun Myung Moon” to illustrate a divine parent who unifies all elements of the world and humanity 🌌.
