Today is September 8, 1998, and when you add all these numbers together you arrive at the number 44. The number 9, which can pass over Adam’s four-position foundation, his children’s fourposition foundation, and his object partner’s four-position foundation, is Satan’s number, and the number 8 is the starting number. The number 19 comes right before 20. All the numbers connected with nine are Satan’s numbers. However, through these numbers will come the era of all-immanence, all-transcendence, supreme authority and omnipotence in which God will be free to do whatever He pleases. In other words, everything in the satanic world will be absorbed into one unified world. Then when would the number 44 appear? It would do so at the time of a historic declaration. The sum of the numbers representing September 8, 1998 is 44, and so that is why on this day I am making the declaration of 4.4. Jeol.
All humankind must return to God in any case. Therefore, I have come to Kodiak in the North, to declare 4.4. Jeol. Centering on the second generation, you are divided into two with the national messiahs in the south, and the Cain messiahs of the mother nation in the north. These two groups should be connected in heart, and the second generation should stand in front of them. You are the plus and the minus, and wherever there is a positive charge, it should be paired with a negative charge.
By my coming to the North, and with the firstborn, the second generation, connected to the plus and minus, I have finally been able to declare 4.4. Jeol, through which the four-position foundations of Adam’s family and that of his children can settle and ultimately open the gates to the heavenly world. In preparation for this, I blessed both saints and murderers simultaneously on June 13. They are all brothers and sisters. Satan took what belonged to God, but now God can freely do whatever He wants. Thus, the cosmos has become God’s liberated kingdom on earth and in heaven. (295-268, 1998.9.8)

When you look in the mirror, you should ask yourself how much your eyes have shed tears in longing to see the Parents; how much your mouth cried out for the assuaging of the Parents’ grief; how much your hands toiled while shedding blood for the land of the Parents; and how much your body has labored, until it shattered, for the foundation that the Parents are seeking. If you seek that path while feeling in your heart, “My grief is in not having been able to do those things!” it will become a path of happiness. A happy person is one who establishes a relationship with Heaven on that path. No one can dominate such a person. The only one that can move him is the Parent; the only one who can touch his heart is the Parent; the only one who can make him happy is the Parent. And the son is the only person who can make the Parent happy. The Parent’s wishes lie in their son rather than in the parents themselves. (78-35, 1975.5.1)

The History of the Providence of Restoration and Changes in Humankind’s View of God
Section 3. Jesus’ View of God Based on the Parent-Child Relationship
3.1. The New Testament Age is the age of the adopted son
When Jacob triumphed and earned the name Israel, he did not triumph as God’s son but as God’s servant. This way, people were restored from the position of the servant of servants to the servant’s position, and then in the New Testament Age from the servant’s position to the position of the adopted child. Romans 8:23 says: “but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.” They said that they were eagerly waiting to be adopted sons who could call God “Abba, Father.” Even the most ardent people of faith in the New Testament Age, whether they were ministers, elders, or people holding doctorates, and so forth, are all adopted children before God. I am speaking to you frankly. They want to be adopted children. Adopted children have a different lineage. (154-257, 1964.10.3)
What step was Jesus elevated to? After humankind fell on earth, the ancestors disappeared. Therefore, when Jesus was elevated to the ancestor’s position, the Israelites could be engrafted as God’s adopted sons and receive the right of inheritance. This is why Romans chapter eight says, “but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies,” and also, “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’” They could only become adopted sons. Today’s Christians are adopted children. Adopted children have a different lineage. (154-337, 1964.10.5)
An adopted son is different from the son of direct lineage. Whenever the son of direct lineage comes, the adopted son should be able to give him everything he possesses without hesitation, whether it is night or day. The possessions do not belong to him. Thus, even though he stands as an adopted son or was chosen as an adopted son, when the son of direct lineage is born, he should not say, “Why was this wretch born?” This is satanic nature. When God created Adam, the archangel should have been delighted to see Adam. So, he cannot say, “Why was he born?” The adopted son should know that he must protect the son. When the son of direct lineage is in the womb, the adopted son should not say, “Oh, I wish he were not going to be born.” (49-135, 1971.10.9)
What must you do to be an adopted child? You should be better than the servants on God’s side and better than Satan. Why do you have to be so? Satan was originally an archangel, a servant, and only one who is better than the servant can be an adopted child. This is according to the Principle. Then what kind of adopted child do you have to be? You should be an adopted child whose philosophy dictates that although you have received God’s inheritance, it is not yours to keep but to return to His original sons and daughters. This is how adopted children should be raised. The adopted child should offer his life for the sake of the coming sons and daughters. He should hope to see the birth of the sons and daughters of direct lineage desired by God, although this may require sacrificing everything he has; he should be preparing in heart for them. Without gaining the qualifications of an adopted child, you have no relationship with the son. You should bear in mind that the one born as an intermediate being, one step above the archangel, is the adopted child. (89-203, 1976.11.22)
An adopted child has a different lineage. Originally, the one designated to be an adopted child at the start of the New Testament was John the Baptist. John the Baptist represented the archangel. He was designated as the representative on earth on the side of the archangel who could serve Adam to the end, rather than as the archangel who had opposed God’s son Adam. But, a tragic history unfolded because John the Baptist failed to serve Jesus and become one with him. (48-92, 1971.9.5)
You should know that the Old Testament Age and New Testament Age are connected through history. As servants, the believers of the Old Testament era wished to receive the benefits of being adopted children, and this is why they waited for the coming of the Messiah. In other words, their desire was to surmount the sorrowful circumstances of the servant and advance, through the Messiah, to the position of adopted child. The adopted child is entitled to receive the inheritance from the parents in the absence of a son or daughter of direct lineage. So, God’s will, which oversaw the servant-level Old Testament Age, guided the people so that they could maintain the desire to transcend the servant’s position and attain the benefits of welcoming God’s will. This is why they kept longing for the privilege of leaving behind the lot of the servant and receiving God’s inheritance. This is the philosophy of God’s elect in Israel. (42-281, 1971.3.27)
You should be restored and rise up, beginning from all things, through the victorious realm of the adopted son, through the victorious realm of the son, to the parents’ position. But, no matter how devout you may be, in the New Testament Age you absolutely cannot be God’s son. (48-95, 1971.9.5)
Looking at history, the Old Testament Age used all things of creation as sacrificial offerings. They sacrificed the things of creation. The purpose of sacrificing all things was to liberate human beings and to help with the resurrection of humankind. The things of creation were sacrificed in order to restore people, to regain God’s children. In the Old Testament Age, the things of creation were used as an offering, and in the New Testament Age, God’s children shed their blood as they moved toward the realm of resurrection in this world. This has been the history centered on Christianity. In Christian history, Jesus and all individuals, families, peoples, and nations that followed Jesus have been sacrificed as offerings until the present. (166-276, 1987.6.14)
In Old Testament times, God had Moses bear witness to God’s power. The people who did not believe in Him as the God of power were punished. Next, the age of Jesus introduced the God of compassion. Sick people were cured… Had Jesus not cured the sick, he would not have been killed. People die of sickness to pay the price for their ancestors’ sins. Then why did he bring them back to life? Rev. Moon of the Unification Church could have cured hundreds of thousands of patients if he had tried. Even without someone curing their disease, lepers can be healed if they hear our words and delight in them. All kinds of diseases can be cured. (194-334, 1989.10.30)
