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?

    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 🌌.

Who On This Earth Could Love God as I Have Done?

And love humanity as I have done.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 515

What was God’s will? It was for Adam and Eve to establish the standard of the perfection of man and woman and establish God’s family based on His love. Yet, was this done? God’s family was not established. Jesus understood and also believed in this aspect of God’s will, but due to the disbelief of the Jewish people, Israel’s historical four-thousand-year foundation for Jesus and Judaism collapsed, and Jesus died miserably on the cross. Until now, who has understood this heart-wrenching situation? No one! You came to understand it through me today. That being the case, how glad Jesus must be! As the bridegroom, Jesus could not perfect God’s family without establishing his bride as the true mother. Without Jesus’ family being established, the will of God would remain unfulfilled. (Blessed Family 488)

Cheon Seong Gyeong

Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created man in His own image, male and female He created them.” We can deduce from this that God has both male and female qualities. God needs an object because He cannot live alone. Therefore, He had no choice but to create this world. As a result, a man and a woman were created. (Blessed Family 307)

Summary
Rev. Sun Myung Moon describes enduring extreme life-and-death battles with Satan ⚔️ and facing intense personal suffering without ever compromising his unwavering standard of heart.

I Had No Country

Since I had no country I also had no people, no tribe, and no family. Thus, I was like an orphan.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 801

    What have you done since you joined the Unification Church? This is a serious question. Now that you are past the age of fifty, how many years have you worked for the Unification Church? How many people have you witnessed to? How many did you witness to in a year? This is a serious matter. When you go to the spirit world, your realm of ownership will be set according to how many people you have brought to God’s Kingdom. They will be your eternal fortune. The time has come to inquire into these things. The time will surely come when millions of people will be witnessed to in a day.
    The Unification Church has tremendous substance. Look at the world. How many people are restlessly wandering around half-crazy, agonizing over whether to live or die, questioning life, and committing suicide? (218-227, 1991.8.19)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1075

    If parents have only one son or daughter, what happens? The son needs an elder sister and an elder brother, does he not? The daughter needs an elder brother and an elder sister. They also need a younger brother and sister. If they don’t have siblings of all kinds, they are unhappy. God protects the family in which the younger brother and sister and the elder brother and sister are all present and completely one. This becomes the foundation for a tribe, a people, and a nation.
    The elder brother and elder sister represent the east and west; the younger brother and younger sister represent the north and south. When these become perfected, they become three-dimensional. This is the law of love. When this law of love is established, the origin of peace is created. (20-40, 1968.3.31)

2.1. What our attitude should be in following the course of indemnity

Summary:
Rev. Sun Myung Moon describes facing intense opposition from Christianity in Korea and America, which left him without a nation, tribe, or family, requiring him to rebuild both spiritual and physical realms from scratch within a forty-year period ⏳.  After World War II, Christian opposition allowed Satan to gain control and vilify his movement, forcing him to endure a step-by-step process of internal suffering—rising from the lowest status of “servant of servants” up to the position of true parents 👑.  Consequently, he emphasizes that believers must possess an urgent, desperate determination to fulfill this course of spiritual restoration through indemnity, ignoring all outside interference or personal comforts 🌿.

From Now On There Will Be the Rule of Law

Cheon Seong Gyeong 431

Representing God, a grandfather and grandmother are the most experienced in the world. They do not sleep very long because they are old. So you should think, “Oh, my grandfather is God who protects my family without sleeping! My grandfather has become old by protecting us! I can see his age by the wrinkles on his face.” This is a beautiful thought. If you have such an old grandfather and grandmother in your family, your house will not catch fire or be robbed. If the grandparents are not sleeping, what are they doing? They are praying. They pray, “Oh God, bless my sons and daughters. Please bless them.” While praying, they will guide you, saying, “Hey, So-and-So, it is dangerous to go out today. Please listen to me.” They will let you know, “Do not go out today!” “Do not fight!” “Son, do not go anywhere.” “Daughter and daughter-in-law, do not go far today.” So do you think the grandchildren need such grandparents or not? When they love each other, the grandmother and grandfather will dance, the mother and father will dance, and the brothers and sisters will dance together. Those who live using this as their model are protected by the universe. If someone were to try to kill such a person, the universe would automatically prevent it. (107-326, 1980.6.8)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1435

If you want to achieve mind and body unity, you first need to recover the essential love of God. You must realize that you still have this task to fulfill. No matter what it takes, you need to overcome this and attain this state; if you pass on to the spirit world without having done so, you will find yourself in big trouble. From the perspective of this logic of true love, we human beings are to become one with it, and thereby enter the realm of oneness; that is how God’s life becomes our life, God’s love becomes our love, and God’s lineage becomes our lineage. Unless you have the mindset that the world, which belongs to God, also belongs to you, and have the heart of a mother and father embracing the universe, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Summary:
Rev. Sun Myung Moon states that world restoration could have been completed in just seven years after World War II if Christianity and America had embraced his movement ⏳; however, due to their disbelief and opposition, he was forced to spend forty years single-handedly restoring four thousand years of biblical history through intense personal suffering and worldwide persecution 🌏. Despite total rejection from the world, he unyielding endured this forty-year course to reclaim the birthright of the eldest son, warning his followers to repent for their self-centeredness as a new period governed by law begins 📜.

A New Tribe Has Formed

The Blessed Families of the Unification Church are not in the position of the original Israel, waiting and yearning for the Messiah through the tradition of Judaism.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1302

The Blessed Families of the Unification Church are not in the position of the original Israel, waiting and yearning for the Messiah through the tradition of Judaism. Instead, they are one step ahead, because they have already received the Messiah and have formed a new tribe. (35-299, 1970.10.3

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1342

    What are the 72 Couples? In order to restore the family completely, Cain and Abel families must first become one. In order for Adam and Eve to be restored before God perfectly, they must stand on the foundation of unity between Cain and Abel. The position of Adam and Eve is that of parents. In order for them to stand in front of God in perfection, the Cain-Abel foundation must be restored. Since the 36 Couples need the foundation of the united families of Cain and Abel to stand as ancestors, the 72 Couples, who were chosen as twice in number to the 36 Couples, came into being.
    The 72 Couples correspond to Jesus’ seventy-two disciples. As they succeed in laying a foundation of indemnity on earth, God’s providence can expand. Through the unity of the 72 Couples representing Cain and Abel with the 36 Couples representing Adam and Eve, all providential requirements for the family have been met, and the restoration of the family has been completed. Such is the significance of the Blessing up to the 72 Couples. With the accomplishment of the 72 Couples Blessing, a God-centered foundation was achieved on earth for the first time, both horizontally and vertically, and thereby, a central standard was set up. Thus, the vertical foothold – a central point that should be determined through God’s providence – can be established only when the 36 and 72 Couples are united as the perfected victors of history. Once that central point is determined, the victorious realm of the central ancestors desired by God will finally have been fulfilled. This perfect foundation must be developed horizontally on earth.

Section 2. The Historical Indemnity Course of True Father

2.1. What our attitude should be in following the course of indemnity

If you look at a person whose life was tough, his feet and hands are big, but if you look at my hands and feet, you would say that I was not meant for suffering. You would say that a person who was born with such a precious body should not suffer. You would find it ironic that a person, who shouldn’t have suffered, has actually suffered so much. That is because you don’t know about restoration through indemnity. (140-186, 1986.2.9)

You are all fakes. Do you think it’s easy to become the real thing? You should know that you have to go in and out of the blast furnace hundreds of times. When you become a father who has to send his son or daughter to the place of execution for the sake of restoration through indemnity in order to restore the realm of heart, you cannot do this without tears. It was exactly so with Abraham. In order to pioneer the heavenly way, to liberate God and enter His realm of love, you can’t just stay as you are. The foundation that you are standing on now did not come about by coincidence. The Unification Church has been built through a course that required tears of bitterness, a course stained with blood and tears. If you learn about this foundation, you will know that you cannot sit here without tears; you cannot sit here without deeply repenting. (169-131, 1987.10.29)

I have undergone hardships throughout my life, but I never intended to indemnify history so that I could obtain a high position with many luxuries. I gave up the blessings that I could have enjoyed. I want to suffer together with you and rise to the high position where I can be respected by the whole nation together with you. You must know that my hope is to see the day of joy when this nation is liberated. (181-66, 1988.8.28)

Those who enter prison have feelings of desperation and discouragement from the moment they enter, but I had considerable interest in what kind of results would come after my life in prison. You have all learned about restoration through indemnity, so I think you understand. What was going to happen after I surmounted each obstacle? The pain I was going through then was not the problem, but I would always think about what new historical gift might come after the pain. This is still fresh in my memory. (133-300, 1985.1.1)

Through the sin of our first ancestors, who could not fulfill their portion of responsibility, the domain of Satan’s love expanded to the edge of the gates of heaven, creating a deep abyss of death. That is why I am going beyond the national level in the course of restoration through indemnity, even though the whole world is against me. Cain and Abel must achieve restoration through indemnity on the foundation of the indemnity conditions on the worldwide level. This is where the United States, centered on the Christian cultural realm of the democratic world, should completely unite with the original line of equilibrium, which is the realm of the direct dominion.
