Jacob knew that when the angel came he came as a messenger from God. Thus, he asked, “Did you come with the mission to destroy me? Or did you come to give me a blessing?” The angel replied, “I came to bless you.” So Jacob asked, “If you came to bless me, why are you with- holding it from me?” The reply came, “I cannot just give it to you because your portion of responsibility remains.” In other words, Jacob had to wrestle with him and win in order to receive the blessing. That is to say, the blessing could not be granted unless he fought with his life. When challenged by the angel, Jacob determined to be victorious and rose up saying, “I see. All right, even if I lose my fingers or even my arms, I will not lose.” He then wrestled with the mind that he would not let go, even if he were struck by a sword, or had his head cut off. How long did they struggle? They struggled all through the night. He fought with the determination that he would not let go until he died. (20-228, 1968.6.9)

Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity
Chapter 2
The Internal Meaning of Sin and the Fall
Section 5. Grief Caused Over the Fall and God’s Heart in the Process of Restoration
5.2. Conditions for Satan’s accusations
Summary:
The Fall occurred because Adam and Eve lacked a deep, heartfelt connection with God 💔, causing them to betray His loving intentions and inherit a corrupt spiritual lineage from Satan. Because all human beings were born into this fallen bloodline, God cannot simply destroy Satan or humanity without destroying the entire human race 🩸. Furthermore, Satan continues to accuse God by demanding the complete, ideal love He was originally promised as an archangel ⚖️. Consequently, God has endured deep sorrow and confinement throughout history, waiting for humanity to understand His heart and help fulfill the original ideal of true love 🕊️.
If Adam and Eve had been able to fathom God’s inner heart, they could not have possibly fallen. God loved His children as a Parent, but they did not understand the depth of His parental heart. Of course Adam and Eve fell while they were still young, but their young age itself was not the cause of the Fall. Rather, they fell because they were lacking in heart. Had they been able to feel, “He is living for me. He can never, ever be separated from me. He is involved in everything related to me,” they would not have committed the Fall. Ultimately Adam and Eve fell because they could not reach unity in heart with God. This dreadful problem occurred because their desires deviated from God’s desires and the direction of their thinking was different from the direction of God’s thinking. (65-173, 1972.11.19)
A robber killed the original father and raped the mother. Fallen human beings today are in the position of children who were born from that relationship. Who is Satan? He is the enemy of God’s love. Satan is the adulterer who violated the children of God, so even the God of love cannot forgive him. There is no way to forgive the adulterer of love. Others can be forgiven, but Satan cannot. If he is forgiven, the heavenly law will break down. (41-197, 1971.2.15)
We are fallen descendants who betrayed God’s heart. Do you know what it was that our ancestors betrayed? Do you think that they just ate the fruit of good and evil that God had forbidden them to eat? No. They betrayed God’s heart. That is the problem. What kind of heart did they betray? It was the heart of the ideal of creation, the heart filled with hope. (9-112, 1960.4.24)
Why can’t we cut Satan away at once? Why can the almighty God not do it immediately? It is because this problem has to do with lineage. If God tried to remove this lineage all at once He would have to exterminate the entire human race. If the blood we inherited from Satan were to be extracted, human beings would disappear. Even Adam and Eve would disappear. Humankind would have to be totally crushed. Why could God not eliminate Adam and Eve and create new ones? He is not supposed to create people anew. Love is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. This became the ideal standard. God therefore cannot strike human beings as the object partners of that love. You must understand this. (188-225, 1989.2.26)
How did Satan manage to oppose God for six thousand years? Until now Satan has been holding the Principle in front of God. Satan says, “God, can You punish me? If You want to punish me You must destroy heaven and earth first. When You created me, didn’t You intend to love me with the love belonging to the completion level, even though it would be only a love meant for an archangel?” Even the archangel must receive love that belongs to the completion level even though it is the type of love befitting the archangel. So, the archangel would ask God, “When did You love me at the completion level?” Even God gets trapped at this point.
Did God love the archangel at the completion level? No, He was not able to. Only after God has loved the archangel in the Garden of Eden, in the free heaven and earth, with the love belonging to the completion level, is God’s responsibility fulfilled. Otherwise, God is trapped and He cannot move. (37-254, 1970.12.27)
The reason God cannot come down hard on Satan for killing millions of His beloved sons and daughters over the past six thousand years is because God is responsible for not having fully loved the archangel. For this reason, whenever someone commits a wrong there is a continuous trail of Satan’s accusations: “God, so and so is doing this and that.” Because the Unification Church emerged, we can know these things that no one previously understood. (35-95, 1970.10.4)
There has been no place for God to stand because He did not have a filial son or a system of love that could uphold the heavenly kingdom by having people fulfill the way of a patriot, saint and divine son or daughter. Until now, God has been incarcerated and in confinement. The heavenly kingdom became an empty ruin. God has carried this sorrow in His heart. (302-226, 1999.6.14)
