Before receiving the Blessing of marriage in the Unification Church, you need to go through the ceremony of changing the lineage. All of you went through that, didn’t you? The indemnity stick ceremony and the three-day ceremony make it seem very complicated, don’t they? During these ceremonies, Satan cannot intrude. These rituals signify that the gates of the Kingdom of Heaven have been opened by virtue of the laws of God and True Parents; and that liberation has been proclaimed. Therefore, Satan, who has been particularly active on the perfection level of the growth stage, cannot interfere. Do you all know that Blessed Families went through the ceremony of changing the lineage? They had to pass through this ceremony before they could receive the Blessing. (235-215, 1992.9.20)

You cannot bring about the Kingdom of Heaven on your own. It requires the coming of the True Parents. You need to become one with the Holy Spirit and harmonize with the love of Jesus. Only then will you have the possibility to engraft to the olive tree on God’s side. However, since this is a spiritual engrafting, it is only partial; a complete engrafting cannot take place until the True Parents come in the era of the Second Coming and fully engraft you.

Selections from the Speeches of Rev. Sun Myung Moon
Book 8
Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity
Chapter 2
The Internal Meaning of Sin and the Fall
Section 1. The Fall Means the Father’s Place was Taken by Another
1.1. Satan, the devil, is our father
Summary:
Rev. Moon teaches that the Fall was not a literal eating of fruit , but the illicit seduction of an underage Eve by the archangel Lucifer while Adam was distracted . God could not directly intervene to prevent this because human love must be governed by human partners rather than forced by divine control . As a result, humanity inherited an impure lineage, which religions traditionally countered through celibacy . Uncovering these hidden truths is essential to resolving God’s deep grief and restoring the original ideal of love.
Where can you pay money to hear such words as these? Even if you sell your house and all your property, even if you make sacrificial offerings for thousands of years, no one could teach you this. Only Rev. Moon of the Unification Church can do this. This is the secret of the universe. Even the Bible does not have such content, does it? The Bible tells us that Adam and Eve fell by eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. What kind of fruit is the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil? Can those without the ability of pre-schoolers insist that Rev. Moon, to whom doctoral degrees have been granted and who became the head of those so qualified, is a heretic? The Chinese characters for heretic (異端 ee-dan) do not mean that there is a different root (dan), but simply that they cannot see the root. Are my words correct, or not? They are correct. (238-213, 1992.11.22)
What were the results of the Fall? The world opposite to the original world. Eve was seduced into committing a Fall by a servant while she was still under age. What is the Fall? It is not what is literally stated in the Bible of today, that she took and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Satan knew what God considered to be most precious. He knew about the most valuable thing that would enable human beings to become God’s sons and daughters. So he couldn’t help thinking, “If I too, could have what God loves the most, and what Adam and Eve can love the most…” (214-266, 1991.2.3)
In the Last Days, we must rectify what is wrong and resolve God’s grief. While resolving the grief caused by the violation of the heavenly law, we must resolve the grief of humanity as well. That is how it is, but if we do not know this fact and just talk about eating of the fruit of good and evil and such things… If you think my words are wrong, pray intensely for forty days to find out if Rev. Moon of the Unification Church has said something false. You were not born into the normal lineage. That is why religions emphasized a celibate life – having children was seen as trouble. (156-228, 1966.5.25)
God detests lewdness. Why? It is because the human beings turned heaven and earth upside down with their illicit love. Nothing can be done about that evil blood. Therefore the religious world advocates celibacy. When a man enters into a spiritual state of deep prayer, a woman always appears to tempt him. Something like this inevitably occurs, blocking the religious path. Why does this happen? It is because the history was formed through illicit love. The fact that the teaching that asserts that human beings fell by eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil remained intact for two thousand years is surprising. (41-292, 1971.2.17)
There should be no deviation from the origin of the universe. Yet, the devil intervened in Adam and Eve’s life before they grew up, that is, while they were still under age, around fifteen or sixteen years old, in their teens. At that time, when Eve looked quietly at the archangel Lucifer, she realized that he knew all the principles of heaven and earth. He was on errands for God, so he could speak about the creation of heaven and earth.
On the other hand, Adam was distant. He was wandering around with a club catching birds, snakes and frogs. In the future he was supposed to dominate and control everything in the nature, so he was trying to get to know everything and adapt himself to everything; so was he interested in Eve? Even if she wanted to follow him, she couldn’t follow the strong male. So when she rested somewhere in a shade, Lucifer would whisper something to her and finally seduced and violated her.
Then, why could God not intervene in this? Human love is governed by human beings. It is not the subject, but the partner who is the master of all forms of love in heaven and on earth; thus, if God, who lives for the sake of others following desires of His partners, came to dominate human love, the fundamentals would break down. So, God as a Ruler would stand in an absurd position, that is why, even though He saw what was happening, He could not do anything about it. (191-97, 1989.6.24)
