What was God’s will? It was for Adam and Eve to establish the standard of the perfection of man and woman and establish God’s family based on His love. Yet, was this done? God’s family was not established. Jesus understood and also believed in this aspect of God’s will, but due to the disbelief of the Jewish people, Israel’s historical four-thousand-year foundation for Jesus and Judaism collapsed, and Jesus died miserably on the cross. Until now, who has understood this heart-wrenching situation? No one! You came to understand it through me today. That being the case, how glad Jesus must be! As the bridegroom, Jesus could not perfect God’s family without establishing his bride as the true mother. Without Jesus’ family being established, the will of God would remain unfulfilled. (Blessed Family 488)

The 160 couples are based on the number four multiplied by four. Due to the failure of Adam and of his children to establish four-position foundations, it was impossible to open the gates of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Nevertheless, during the era of indemnification, by virtue of 4.4 Jeol (Four-Four Day), we can restore this foundation because four times four equals sixteen – the number symbolizing God’s ideal that was usurped by Satan. If the number six is the foundation on which we can reclaim the satanic world for God, then that number times three, representing formation, growth, and completion, would equal eighteen, which explains why I blessed 1800 couples. The 1800 Couples correspond to 1600 couples. This is the number that can destroy Satan completely. (296-179, 1998.11.9)

Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity
Chapter 4
The Course of Indemnity and Our Life
Section 1. The Way of Restoration Is the Inevitable Course for Humankind
1.1. Restoration through indemnity is the way of re-creation
Summary:
Restoration and indemnity go hand in hand as the necessary process for human beings to return to their original, perfect state by reversing the path of the Fall 🔄. The passage explains that setting these indemnity conditions is like taking bitter medicine—difficult and requiring personal effort and sacrifice—but it is the only way to achieve true salvation, receive God’s blessings, and accomplish the work of re-creation ✨.
When we say “restoration through indemnity,” it means indemnity for the sake of restoration. Restoration through indemnity is the way to attain perfection. Only after indemnity can restoration take place; then we can go the path of perfection. Thus, you can consider that indemnity and restoration are one. Perfection cannot be attained automatically; it is attained through indemnity. Therefore, human beings living in the fallen world cannot reach perfection unless they set up conditions of indemnity. (God’s Will 697)
What is the way of restoration we talk about in the Unification Church? Ordinary religions state that people need to be saved and therefore seek the religious path. But we seek the way of restoration, saying that restoration is necessary. Then, what is restoration? How is it done? We accomplish it through the process of re-creation. (168324, 1987.10.1)
The way of restoration is the way by which people return to their original state, and therefore one cannot go this way without setting indemnity conditions. Indemnity conditions must be set by a man, not by God. If a person is sick, he must take medication in order to recover, even if the medicine tastes bitter and he does not like it. Good medicine tastes bitter. Something bitter becomes a truly good medicine. Setting indemnity conditions is difficult, like taking bitter medicine. However, unless indemnity conditions are set, restoration can never be accomplished. The way of salvation is the way of indemnification and restoration. Indemnity means going the route opposite to that of the Fall. It means going the reverse way. (92-254, 1977.4.18)
If everyone comes to understand the meaning of indemnity, then they would like that word the best. Without indemnity, there is no blessing. It is indemnity that has the value of gold in the Unification Church. Indemnity is an amazing word that enables us to even risk our lives, sacrifice everything, and overcome all difficulties. (97-71, 1978.2.26)
The history of restoration is not something you accomplish just based on explanations. First, you do things, achieve victory, and in this way you take charge of the situation. If there were a way to receive explanations from someone, the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments would not have been necessary. Ten pages would have been enough to record everything. Why would we need the sixty-six books? They would be useless. We would not even need ten pages. Three pages should be enough to record everything. (62-126, 1972.9.17)
