You should become the sons and daughters who, from the valley of tears, can receive a response when calling for the Father. You should become the people who, when you call, “Father!” from a place of tears, He will reply, “Yes! I am here.” When you call, “Father!” from a place of piercing pain, shedding blood and sweat, He will reply, “I have endured, so you can too.” When you call for Him even at the moment when death approaches, He will reply, “I am here, be at ease.” The question is how much you attend the Father, how much you consult with Him and how much you live with Him in such situations. No matter how hard you call the Father from a place of self-centered glory it does no good because the Father has still not seen His day of glory. (11-102, 1961.2.12)

How was the birth of Jesus brought about? The lineage was purified and then Jesus could appear.
Esau and Jacob were born as twins, going through the period of being brothers, and finally restoring the birthright of the firstborn son. Later, there was the unprecedented struggle of Perez and Zerah in Tamar’s womb, to change positions, and they changed the lineage in the womb. As he pushed aside his elder brother who would have been born first and came out as the firstborn son, he was named Perez. The midwife tied a red string around the hand of the “elder” Zerah, when his hand appeared from Tamar’s womb. This was to become a sign that communism would arise before the victorious Lord of this world appeared in the future. If we cannot restore the right of the eldest son, a unified world cannot be created. (140-149, 1986.2.9)

The Formula for Indemnification and Restoration
Section 1. The Works of Rebecca, Tamar and Mary from the Viewpoint of the Restoration of Motherhood
1.1. The Fall of Eve, and Rebecca’s and Tamar’s deceptions
Summary:
Biblical figures like Eve 🍎, Rebecca 📜, Tamar 🌾, and Mary 👑 followed a similar pattern of deceiving three men (often a father, husband, or brother) as part of a spiritual process to restore Eve’s original actions. It also highlights that the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew includes four women—Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba—who were involved in illicit relationships. These confusing events cannot be understood through standard human morality, but require a specific spiritual principle to uncover their deeper meaning.
Don’t Mary and Eve resemble each other? In the same way that Eve deceived her future husband, and elder brother, Adam, and God, her Father, Tamar also followed the same pattern. The deception of their future husbands, father-in-laws, husbands, brothers and all siblings, was in each case the indemnity that corresponded to Eve’s actions. The actions of Eve, Tamar and Mary closely resemble each other. (213-309, 1991.1.21)
Eve deceived three men. Rebecca also deceived three men. She deceived God, her husband, and her son. Three men are always deceived. Tamar also deceived three men: her father-in-law, and his first and second sons. Whom did Mary deceive? God, her father, and her future husband. It is the same pattern. Eve deceived her father, her brother, and her future husband. Adam was her elder brother, and, at the same time, her future husband. It is the same pattern. (215-98, 1991.2.6)
In the first chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, four great women appear. There appear Bathsheba and Tamar. Next, the harlot Rahab appears and then Ruth. Four great women who had illicit relationships. They all seemed to be women of loose morals. They had husbands, but they also had relationships with other men. Were they not then, loose women? You should read the Bible very well at least once. Jesus could not be born to a lawful wife. (139-311, 1986.1.31)
The Bible is a sacred scripture, but it contains many things that are difficult to accept. Isn’t that so? How could it be that Jacob and Rebecca united to deceive his brother Esau and his father Isaac, in order to receive the blessing? Why did Tamar have a relationship with her father-in-law, and bear Perez and Zerah? Why could the blessing come to the tribe of Judah, under Perez and Zerah? The question is why are there issues that cannot be accepted from a human moral viewpoint?
In the first chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, four great women who had illicit relationships: Tamar, Bathsheba, Rahab and Ruth, are listed in the genealogy of Jesus. This gospel is the equivalent of Genesis, but the question is, why do the first pages of the New Testament focus on these women, who are stained and impure? Without understanding the Principle view of the Fall, there is no way to understand this. It has remained a mystery. By searching throughout my life, however, I have been able to answer these questions for the first time. (211-137, 1990.12.30)

How can we understand why Tamar, Bathsheba, Rahab and Ruth all had illicit sexual relationships, but are in the lineage of Jesus?
