Human history began with the tragic incident known as the Fall of Adam and Eve. It is a matter of fact that we must all shoulder the responsibility for this act and resolve this issue. However, when we study the passage in the Bible that Eve was the first to fall and began the history of sin, we can see that the providence requires that an age must come in human history in which women will lead the way to redeem the Fall of Eve. We can see that the ideological trends in the 20th century, such as the movement of women seeking true liberation, indicate that women have begun to stand up for the sake of world peace. Since I know that such is the providence of God, I founded the Women’s Federation for World Peace in April, 1992, together with my wife.
The age of women came in the 1990s, and is a world-wide trend that will continue into the twenty-first century. We may say that love and cooperation, and the spirit of resolution and harmony, will fulfill a historical contribution towards world peace. This worldwide age of women means that the age of island nations will bear the characteristics of women. In this way, the age of women and the age of island nations are intimately linked together. The time when women stand up for world peace is the time when island nations should also stand up for worldwide cooperation. Now is the opportunity for island and oceanic nations to fulfill their glorious and historical missions of realizing world peace. Is there a mission of greater glory than this?

The more love people have for each other, the more they want to be together. Once there was a man whose wife died young, and who then remained single for the rest of his life, carrying her handkerchief. Nehru was this kind of person; having lost his wife when she was young, he wore roses on his clothes the rest of his life because his wife loved roses. When God created His most precious son and daughter, did He create them to perish after one hundred years? Therefore, we can understand the fundamental principle that human beings live eternally.

Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity
Chapter 3
The Formula for Indemnification and Restoration
Section 2. The Historical Indemnity Course of True Father
2.1. What our attitude should be in following the course of indemnity
Summary:
The savior comes not as a harsh judge or political figure, but as a loving parent who strives unconditionally to save humanity from suffering rather than condemn them 🕊️. Rev. Sun Myung Moon describes feeling deep humility and shame despite enduring decades of intense personal hardship to resolve millions of years of human grief and bitterness through the Unification Church 📜. Ultimately, God desires His children to love all creation and return to Him as even greater beings, using the symbolic breakdown of the Chinese characters in the name “Sun Myung Moon” to illustrate a divine parent who unifies all elements of the world and humanity 🌌.
What does the savior come to do? He does not come for the sake of politics. Some Christians say that when the Lord comes, the Christians will be lifted up into the air, and those left on earth will all perish. But that is not so. It is not like that. They say he will come to judge, but the savior is not someone who comes to judge. He is the son of God, and, at the same time, he comes as the parent of humankind. Will someone who comes as the parent of humanity, with the heart of the parents, look at a sick son or daughter, groaning on the brink of death, and abandon them, saying, “You go to hell!”? Even if parents in this fallen world see the miserable scene of their own child being about to die, they would cry themselves hoarse and want to do anything to save their child’s life, even at the cost of their own. That is how parents are, so how much more would the savior, who has the original parent’s heart be determined to do? He cannot think of such a thing as judging people. Don’t you think so? (222-150, 1991.11.3)
What do you think? If God and I were to meet, would we meet laughing, or would we be crying? Try to think about it. I think I would faint. I wish I could shed tears, but I don’t have the face to do that. I wish I could die but I don’t have the face to do that either; that is why I would just faint. I am embarrassed. Even though I’ve done my best for forty years, there is nothing I can be proud of. I am just ashamed. That is how I feel. (193-77, 1989.8.20)
It is fortunate that Rev. Moon of the Unification Church came into this world. You have no idea how hard it has been to untangle all the intricacies and all the grief of human history that have lasted for one and a half million years. That wretched history has been rolling on without stopping, so the question is who will pave the way to turn it back to Heaven? Behind the few years of history of the Unification Church stretches a human history of thousands of years. History, which spans millions of years, is being resolved in cohesion with the history of our church. You must not forget that the Unification Church has embraced the bitterness of indemnity to restore the sorrowful history. (143-36, 1986.3.15)
As I was born on earth as a human being, I have loved all of the original creation on this earth as God does. I have loved the animals and I have loved humankind as God has. Thus, I was able to become His partner in love. We came from God and return to God. He wishes all of you to become billions of times greater than Him during your lifetime. Thus, the truth is that God wishes you to return to Him as children who are more wonderful than He is. (268-291, 1995.4.3)
There is something interesting about my name. If you write the Chinese character for “Moon” (文) quickly, it looks like the character for father. The character for Sun (鮮) consists of elements meaning fish (魚) and lamb (羊). In this way, the sea and the land are united centered on the father. Next, the character for Myung (明) consists of the elements Sun (日) and Moon (月). The one who unites the land and sea, who teaches the unified truth bringing Cain and Abel together as one, and who brings the sun and moon together as one is God. God is the king of wisdom and, at the same time, He is the Parent. (268-289, 1995.4.3)
