What have you done since you joined the Unification Church? This is a serious question. Now that you are past the age of fifty, how many years have you worked for the Unification Church? How many people have you witnessed to? How many did you witness to in a year? This is a serious matter. When you go to the spirit world, your realm of ownership will be set according to how many people you have brought to God’s Kingdom. They will be your eternal fortune. The time has come to inquire into these things. The time will surely come when millions of people will be witnessed to in a day.
The Unification Church has tremendous substance. Look at the world. How many people are restlessly wandering around half-crazy, agonizing over whether to live or die, questioning life, and committing suicide? (218-227, 1991.8.19)

If parents have only one son or daughter, what happens? The son needs an elder sister and an elder brother, does he not? The daughter needs an elder brother and an elder sister. They also need a younger brother and sister. If they don’t have siblings of all kinds, they are unhappy. God protects the family in which the younger brother and sister and the elder brother and sister are all present and completely one. This becomes the foundation for a tribe, a people, and a nation.
The elder brother and elder sister represent the east and west; the younger brother and younger sister represent the north and south. When these become perfected, they become three-dimensional. This is the law of love. When this law of love is established, the origin of peace is created. (20-40, 1968.3.31)

Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity

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:
Rev. Sun Myung Moon describes facing intense opposition from Christianity in Korea and America, which left him without a nation, tribe, or family, requiring him to rebuild both spiritual and physical realms from scratch within a forty-year period ⏳. After World War II, Christian opposition allowed Satan to gain control and vilify his movement, forcing him to endure a step-by-step process of internal suffering—rising from the lowest status of “servant of servants” up to the position of true parents 👑. Consequently, he emphasizes that believers must possess an urgent, desperate determination to fulfill this course of spiritual restoration through indemnity, ignoring all outside interference or personal comforts 🌿.
Facing the opposition of Christianity, in America and Korea, I stood in the position of a person with no nation. I had no country. Since I had no country I also had no people, no tribe, and no family. Thus, I was like an orphan. From this point, everything had to be restored within forty years, in order to stand on the foundation of spiritual territory on the national and worldwide level. However, just having spiritual territory was not enough. I had to inherit the foundation of the spiritual territory from the realm of the Christian culture and restore the substantial cultural realm on the national level. Upon that foundation, I had to restore through indemnity the substantial realm of the Christian culture on the worldwide level. (143-176, 1986.3.18)
The history of Israel began from the time of Jacob. The victorious tradition and history known as Israel has led to a unified realm being built through the Christian culture on a worldwide level. This realm, however, was divided by its opposition towards the Second Advent, with the result that four thousand years must again be restored through indemnity in forty years. If this cannot be accomplished in forty years, the problem will increase. These forty years of recent history represent a period of great transition. Satan should have retreated completely, immediately after World War II, when he was feeling the greatest threat; however, as everything stood in the position of being on Satan’s side, Heaven retreated completely. Thus, Satan ruled the world overall and began to vilify the Unification Church, which stood on God’s side. (161-220, 1987.2.15)
The course of separation from Satan through internal suffering begins from the position of servant of servants. Once all vertical indemnity conditions required by the satanic world are set, there is no remaining condition for Satan to attack you no matter how much he wants to. Thus, I have brought about restoration through indemnity starting in the position of being treated as a servant of servants, then as a servant, adopted child, and child by a concubine. Next, the direct son has to be restored, then the mother, followed by Adam. It is only after the conditions are set that enable man and woman to say that they have risen to the highest position as a man and the highest position as a woman, can they rise to the position of parents. They cannot just go up automatically. Concrete internal indemnity conditions must be made. (161-208, 1987.2.4)
To achieve restoration, we must go forward with our own firm determination, no matter how much others may interfere. Whatever paths others may take, we have to be busy with our own path. Whatever others may say behind our backs, we have no time to worry about this. There is no time to sleep at night. We don’t have the spare time to sit comfortably and eat. Unless we have that kind of desperate heart, we cannot go the way of restoration. (22-211, 1969.2.4)
