Where is the royal palace of love? Don’t think it strange when I say these kinds of things. If we do not rightfully correct this thinking, the world will all become distorted. If history cannot be fitted together properly, wickedness will fill the world. I have experienced the agony of delving into the fundamental problem of humanity and the fundamental core of the universe, and the place I arrived at as a result of this endeavor was the sexual organ. When I arrived at the sexual organ and thought about it carefully, I found that the harmony of heaven and earth unfolds like a whirlwind from that place. This is an amazing fact. (197-24, 1990.1.7)

Where can you find the root of your life? It lies with unfallen parents. Then can the unfallen parents of goodness be found here? As the Lord with dual characteristics, God created the universe and human beings in His image to reflect His dual characteristics. Adam is the manifestation of His male characteristics and Eve His female characteristics. From this perspective, although we usually say, “Our Heavenly Father,” because He is just one being, the concept of God actually includes the idea of God being “Our Heavenly Father and Mother.” (140-123, 1986.2.

Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity
Chapter 3
The Formula for Indemnification and Restoration
Section 1. The Works of Rebecca, Tamar and Mary from the Viewpoint of the
Restoration of Motherhood 1.3. The mission of Mary in the course of Jesus
Summary:
Mary’s engagement to Joseph paralleled Adam and Eve’s original engagement before the Fall, requiring Mary to inherit the sacrifices of Rebecca and Tamar to purify God’s lineage 🕊️. To protect Mary from execution under traditional law, God instructed Joseph—who represented the archangel’s position on God’s side—to take her as his wife, allowing Jesus to be conceived directly through God’s seed 👑. By restoring the birthright of the eldest son on God’s side, Jesus was born into a clean lineage, enabling those who believe in Him to be reborn into God’s true family away from Satan’s line 🌿.
Mary, who was engaged to Joseph, was in a position similar to Eve’s. When Adam and Eve fell, they were in the position of a couple engaged to be married. Eve fell while engaged, so in order to indemnify and restore this, Mary had to inherit the traditions of Rebecca and Tamar. She was able to pass on the lineage of God; this signified the standard of a woman who had purified the lineage. (139-303, 1986.1.31)
Mary, who had to deceive Joseph and her family in this way, based on the principle of restoration through indemnity, should have been stoned to death according to the law of that time. Although she should have been stoned to death, Jesus, who had already been conceived, had to be protected, so God conveyed a message to Joseph; “Joseph!…Do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.”(Matt.1:20) Joseph had no choice but to bring Mary into his house. (139-305, 1986.1.31)
Because human beings inherited the blood of the archangel, Jesus was conceived through a person who stood in the position of the archangel. What does it mean to say conceived through the Holy Spirit? Such inadequate explanations should not hold sway. The principle of restoration through indemnity explains it as it is. If a person in the position of the archangel can be raised up, and can become an absolutely unchanging, loyal subject on God’s side, especially loved by Him, then Satan will have to immediately leave his position as the archangel. Thus, Jesus was born through a person in the archangelic position on God’s side. In this way, Jesus was born as the firstborn son. The right of the fallen eldest son was restored and purified into the new lineage, and Jesus was born with the right of the eldest son on God’s side. Therefore, those who believe in Jesus are reborn through the love of God, with God as their center. Through this, their lineage is different from Satan’s. (143-104, 1986.3.16)
When they were engaged, Joseph and Mary were in the same position as Adam and Eve in their engagement period. Thus, God had to take Mary away from her relationship as Joseph’s fiancée. This was to restore the loss of Eve. Then, whose position would Joseph be in? He would be in the position of the archangel. Joseph should originally have been in the position of Adam. Yet, how was it that Joseph was in the archangel’s position? As he was descended from the Fall, his seed, the root, was different from Adam’s. Joseph was carrying the fallen seed. That had to be changed and brought over to God’s side. Where should this seed come from? It must come from God. (36-245, 1970.12.6
