Why Is the History of Religion One of Tribulation?

In all of history, only Rev. Moon has been able to clearly expose the secrets entangled in the spirit world, the religious and mystical worlds that only Satan and God knew about.

    Christianity teaches people to love God, but this is a very vague concept. In the Bible Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. All you need are these two commandments. Before you love God you have to love the food you eat, love all things of creation, and love your body.
    Your first parents are the parents who gave birth to you. Your second parent is planet earth, this earth. The earth supplies you with all the essential elements for your physical growth. The earth is the second parent of your physical body. Through the second parent, you return to your third parent which means our physical death. However, you cannot go to the third parent as you are. In order to return to the third parent you have to resemble God, who is the original parent.
    Then, why do we marry? It is so that we resemble God. God is the uniformly combined being of dual characteristics. Since man and woman are the divided expression of God’s dual characteristics, they have to unite as one body, become like seeds and return to God’s position of original character. However, because we must go the way of love in order to be linked to that seed, we must be born in love, set love as our goal while growing, live centering on love, and walk this path in order to return to love. You will go off in the wrong direction unless you follow the path centering on the goal of living for the sake of others. (138-97, 1986.1.19)

    The place we wish to inhabit is heaven. Would there be borders in it? Of course not. Would there be more than one language in it? Surely not. Would there be racial discrimination? Not in the least. Then, what would heaven be like? Since all human beings were originally born from God’s bosom, they are all brothers and sisters. From God’s viewpoint, since all of us are His children, it naturally follows that we are all siblings; from the viewpoint of His kingdom on earth, we are all citizens of the same kingdom. Every one of us is a citizen, a subject of this kingdom. (66-281, 1973.5.16)

4.1. Restoration of the right of the eldest son

Summary:
Religious history is marked by tribulation because believers must overcome Satan’s foundational claim: that any true representative of God must prove their righteousness by actively loving the archangel who fell 🕊️. The passage explains that this requires an arduous, stage-by-stage ascent through the seven horizontal levels (from individual up to heaven and earth) and eight vertical levels (starting from the servant of servants) to fully restore the right of the unfallen firstborn son 👑. Ultimately, it emphasizes that loving one’s enemies is not just an individual command, but a historical and cosmic necessity—requiring believers to love enemy families, tribes, and nations—to strip Satan of his claims and reclaim the lost birthright ✨.

The right of the firstborn son is not for you. Focused on the Lord who is to come, you must develop a connection with the vertical heavenly world.

    Thus, it would be a mistake for anyone to think that white, black, or yellow people are the owners of America. God is the owner of America. This is also true for Korea. Differences in skin color are nothing more than the result of having to adapt to different climates and environments in different parts of the globe. In areas with large amounts of snowfall, we find mainly white people. Conversely, in places such as Africa where the rays of the sun are particularly bright, we find mainly black people. Fundamentally, though, people are the same.
    For example, the color of our blood is the same, and our flesh and bones have the same structure. We all love each other in the same way. Thus, there should be no racial discrimination. This is why the Unification Church has been working through large international weddings to create racial equality. In deference to the laws and principles of nature, we have inter-married all five colors of skin. When a black person and a white person marry, it is like the North Pole and the South Pole coming together in unity. When a yellow person and a black person marry and have children, both parents contribute their good attributes, and their offspring are better as a result. Where there is love, there can be no strife. Each of us comes from a different hometown and homeland, but we can all agree that the homeland and hometown of true love is the hometown of faith, peace, and unity.

    What is the universe? Everything in the created world is designed as a sort of training aid to help God’s beloved sons and daughters find the ideal of love. This is why everything exists in reciprocal relationships. Minerals are based on the reciprocal relationship of subject and object partners and so are atoms. Protons and electrons also exist based on the reciprocal relationship of subject and object partners. Without reciprocation they cannot continue to exist. Without give and take action they cannot exist eternally. Therefore, the universe is a world created in such a way that its center can only be reached through human beings. (137-59, 1985.12.18)

Summary:
God’s historical grief stems from the firstborn son falling to Satan’s side, which infected humanity with a “love-related disease” 💔. The passage explains that God designates Abel to establish the rights of the firstborn son and restore family tradition through love, requiring believers to leave their homes, adopt the mindset of living for others, and win over the “Cain” position through selfless sacrifice ✨. Ultimately, it emphasizes that to achieve spiritual victory and restore God’s order, individuals must help the firstborn son push the second son forward, enabling humanity to ascend stage by stage toward the original creation ideal 🌍.

The Right of the First Born Son Must Be Restored

The position of the firstborn son is more precious than that of the second son, Abel.

I’m not saying that you should force yourself to lay down your life if you do not want to. I’m saying that you should joyfully be willing to do that. Would God want you to lay down your life if you are totally miserable doing so, or would He prefer it if, intoxicated with love and not knowing whether you would live or die, you danced with joy while laying down your life? Which would He prefer? (48-114, 1971.9.5

    Why do you have to fulfill the responsibility of tribal messiah? The first reason is that you must save your parents. Your parents are in the position of the first Adam, and you are in the position of the second Adam. You must complete the mission of Adam by restoring and re-creating your parents. The second reason is that you need a hometown. By completing the responsibility of tribal messiah, you will be able to have your own hometown.
    Ultimately, the reason for fulfilling your portion of responsibility as a tribal messiah is the perfection of Adam’s family. In real terms, you have to educate your tribe. (244-211, 1993.2.7)

4.1. Restoration of the right of the eldest son

Summary:
The Unification Church clarifies biblical history by explaining that humanity must restore the lost rights of both the firstborn (Cain) and secondborn (Abel) sons to God’s side to return to His original ideal 📖. The passage details that this required immense historical suffering and sacrifice—such as early Christians enduring centuries of Roman persecution in the catacombs—because the firstborn position carries unique precedence 👑. Ultimately, the text highlights that recovering this original order is exceptionally difficult, yet necessary to transcend the fallen realm and reclaim God’s absolute creation ideal .

Indemnity Is No Longer Needed

This means that wherever I or the believers of the Unification Church go, the age of persecution is over.

    Many people who have come and gone wanted to have this mission and had this hope. Even though they wanted it, they could not have it. This is one special mission that can be done only once, at this time in history. It requires a solemn sense of responsibility. Eating, sleeping, your comings and goings; every aspect of your lifestyle must be for the establishment of the homeland.
    How long do you think God has been waiting impatiently for you, as a secret emissary sent by God, to come forward and determine to carry out this mission in a high-spirited and exciting way?

    I have been speaking about the hobby business. The entire world today is a world of science, in which through the best technology, people are moving the world. For this reason, people take a serious view of the production process, calling it the hobby industry, whereas I call it the hobby life. Do you understand? There are all kinds of hobbies – hobbies for your eyes, for your nose, for your mouth, for your ears, for your sense of touch, for your body, for your mind, for your love, and so on… (278-95, 1996.5.1)

Summary:
On August 31, 1989, Sun Myung Moon declared the Ceremony of the Settlement of the Eight Stages in Alaska, officially ending the historical age of persecution and indemnity for humanity 🏔️. The passage explains that this ceremony completely restored the right of the eldest son to God’s side, allowing believers to stand in a global realm where Satan can no longer accuse or oppose them 👑. Consequently, it marks the transition into an era of love and forgiveness, where humanity can boldly build the heavenly kingdom without the need for past struggles and suffering 🌍.

    The people we need are the True Parents. What started from the false parents must be restarted by the True Parents. The false parents are the ones who inherited false love and false lineage starting from false love. This must be reversed. Then, how can we inherit true life and true lineage centered on the love of the True Parents? In other words, the issue is how to inherit the original seed again since we inherited the wrong seed of life.
    With regard to this issue, it cannot be inherited without the True Parents. Therefore, the Messiah must come upon the earth, and his seed, the seed of new life of the True Parents, must be injected and engrafted. Through this, you can return to the original position of the true olive tree. It is simple. Therefore, God is our True Parent. So, think how close He is. The vertical Parent is God, and the True Parents fulfill ideal love as horizontal parents. (218-223, 1991.7.29)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1182

    What is the thing that Satan until now has held on to historically, based on the eight stages of the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, heaven and earth and God? He has been saying, “God, You are the Master who follows the heavenly principles, and Your son and daughter, the ideal Adam and Eve, that is, the True Parents, are a son and daughter who follow these principles. 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 and the love of Your son. If You cannot love and work in that way, You will not be able to love the principled son as the principled Father.” This is the problem.
    In other words, Satan is saying that although he fell, if God could not love him, He would not be able to return all the creation, which is in Satan’s possession, to the realm under the dominion of God’s love, and the love of Adam in the original Eden. He means that if God and Abel united and loved Satan, they can restore everything based on the condition of individual love, but otherwise, they will not be able to do this. Next, the same applies to the family, tribe, people, nation and world, which are in the same position, and he claims that heaven and earth are in such a position as well. That is the way in which Satan grabs us by the throat or, as you might say, how he tightens the noose around our neck. (132-29, 1984.5.19

Summary:
On August 31, 1989, Rev. Sun Myung Moon traveled to Alaska to conduct the “Ceremony of the Settlement of the Eight Stages,” marking the completion of vertical and horizontal indemnity 🏔️. The passage explains that this established a central axis allowing God to move freely and opened the age of the global family, where humanity is raised to the position of tribal messiahs to liberate Jesus and Adam’s family from historical grief 🌍.
