At the time of creation, God stood in the position of having exercised absolute faith, love, and obedience, but because human beings failed to form families that could stand as object partners to Him, they consequently fell into hell. We are now living in the time when everything that was lost in Adam’s family can be restored worldwide through absolute faith, love and obedience on the unified foundation of True Parents’ realm of victory. Unification Church members must therefore inherit and practice absolute faith, love and obedience centering on the True Parents. True Parents inherited these absolute traditions from God, and so you should inherit these traditions in turn. Do you understand? Then God’s blessing will be with you. (1996.11.3)

There can be no perfection in ignorance. Who is Satan? To God, he is an adulterer. I clarified this matter, but can you go to heaven if you close your eyes to this fact? Can you receive salvation if you close your eyes to it? That is nonsensical. Fruitless and unreasonable people! If one could be saved by believing in that, someone like me would have already been saved many times over. I would not have suffered like this. (188230, 1989.2.26)

The Formula for Indemnification and Restoration
Section 2. The Historical Indemnity Course of True Father
2.2. Selecting True Mother
Summary:
Had Christian nations supported his mission after World War II, a British woman could have filled the role of Mother 👑; however, due to the opposition from Christianity, True Mother was chosen in Korea in 1960. She then had to endure a strict seven-year course of indemnity, absolute obedience, and severe persecution—reflecting the principle of restoring Eve’s failure during the second seven-year period of growth—before God’s Day could be established in 1968 🕊️. Ultimately, this seven-year course of indemnity is a necessary requirement that all Blessed couples must complete to enter heaven .
Through two thousand years of Christianity God made the Second Advent of the Lord possible. If, immediately after World War II, I could have stood on the victorious foundation of Christianity and the United States based on the Christian cultural sphere, would I have undergone hardships? If they had accepted me in those days, then who would have been Mother? If Sung-jin’s mother had been unable to take that position, who would have replaced her? It would have been a British woman. As seen from God’s will, it would have been a woman from Great Britain. The British royal family would have made a connection with me. Doesn’t that belong to the realm of Christian culture? Britain gave birth to America. There was symbolic significance to Korean president Rhee Sung-man (Syngman Rhee) marrying a western woman. Ultimately, due to the opposition from Christianity, True Mother gained this blessing. (181-217, 1988.10.3)
In order to restore Eve, the number ‘7’ has to be restored through indemnity. Mother was designated to her position in 1960 and had to go through the sevenyear course until 1968 when God’s Day was established; for her that was a period of persecution. In this period, women of the Unification Church engaged themselves in all kinds of intrigues and slander against her. Mother did not understand the reason for this, so she could overcome everything only if she obeyed my words absolutely. So I told her, “Do this and do that, just as I say!” Thus, after the Holy Wedding I drove her away from my house for three years, and only after three years, did she stay in the same room with me. This is all true. You Unificationists can understand this, can’t you? It was for the sake of indemnity. We are going through the individual course of indemnity, and the family course of indemnity. (139-296, 1986.1.31)
I have established Parents’ Day, Children’s Day, Day of All Things and God’s Day. Having gone through the sevenyear course in the 1960s, I was able to establish God’s Day in 1968 based on the realm of unified heart. Mother also had to go through a seven-year course from the completion level of the growth stage to the completion level of the completion stage. Without doing so, she could not have stood in the same realm of heart as me. Thus, although I married in 1960, it was only after seven years that I established God’s Day, on January 1, 1968. This is according to the Principle.
Everyone must undergo a seven-year course, including the blessed couples. There are no exceptions; everyone must go. If Blessed Families are unable to go through this course, they cannot enter heaven. The paradise realm for the Blessed Families of the Unification Church is emerging in the spirit world. This is all logical. (139-311, 1986.1.31)
It was fourteen years after the liberation of Korea that I received Mother. It was in 1960. Why was it fourteen years? It was because our first ancestors fell at the completion level of the growth stage when they were still passing through their second seven-year course; they fell in the very end of this seven-year course, before the beginning of the third seven-year course. Therefore, according to the principle of restoration through indemnity, I settled in Korea through a course of fourteen years of persecution, built the altar called the Unification Church, and chose Mother and raised her to this position while battling the established churches and the nation of South Korea. From that point, when Mother was chosen and designated to her position, God’s providence could settle on earth for the first time. (143-178, 1986.3.18)
