Jesus and John the Baptist Were Brothers

This has not been revealed before, but they were brothers.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2179

    Koreans are a noble people who have honored loyalty and filial piety from time immemorial. I remember being invited to attend Armed Forces Day at Yeoido Plaza and feeling great satisfaction watching our dignified young soldiers. I was truly impressed as those brave soldiers marched past the reviewing stand and shouted the motto “Loyalty and Filial Piety!” (Choong Hyo!) I thought that, for God’s chosen race, it was a motto that seemed very much like a revelation. I don’t think there are any other armed forces in the world with a motto like this.
    As Koreans are still a people practicing loyalty and filial piety toward God, the spirit of loyalty and filial piety has become the central thought of the nation. The classic stories of Shim Chung’s filial piety to her father, Chun-hyang’s fidelity to her husband, Jeong Mong-ju’s loyalty to his king, and Yu Kwan-soon’s spirit of patriotic martyrdom exemplify Korean faithfulness to the principles of loyalty and filial piety to a degree unparalleled in history. Such a spirit of loyalty, filial piety, and the unchanging fidelity that is like pine and bamboo constitute the central thought and spirit for the realization of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth that will be established in the future. As the Kingdom of Heaven is God’s nation, you must be forever loyal to that nation, and, as God is the Father of all humankind, you must show eternal filial piety to Him. When God tested the many peoples of the world, He could not find a people of virtue and fidelity with a spirit of loyalty and filial piety as high as the Koreans. Therefore, He chose Korea and is intently watching the nation. (100-252, 1978.10.19)

Instead, think that the survival of the thirty million people of Korea depends on the one page or one sentence that lies before you. Study with the mind-set that the addition of one word of vocabulary will save those thirty million people and that the loss of one word will doom the same number of people. Accordingly, with that seriousness offer even more devotion. It is not because your memory is lacking. You never forget what happens in an extremely serious moment, do you? Study at the risk of your life. You can feel the beating of your heart when you are serious. In such serious moments, can you forget what you are determined to do? To be forgetful is just a question of degree. (35-38, 1970.9.27)

Summary:
Jesus is distinguished from other religious figures like Buddha, Confucius, and Muhammad because he alone was born from a purified lineage, qualifying him to act as the Messiah and True Father. Jesus called for believers to love God and the Messiah above all fallen worldly relationships 💖. Furthermore, Jesus was the half-brother of John the Baptist—born to a second wife, representing love from God’s side rather than Cain’s side—and that his tragic death prevented him from establishing a blessed marriage on the foundation of united families 💍.

    Power is unnecessary in the other world. What is needed there is love-centered harmonizing power, love-centered influential power. Therefore, people lacking that love-centered influential power are intrinsically unable to harmonize with the original world which moves by the influence of love. If they should arrive there, they are repelled and end up in hell.
    You say you have lived and worked for the Unification Church ever since you joined it, but you should consider in what position you have worked. Always ask yourselves in which direction you are headed and in which position you are located. If you do that prayerfully, God will be with you. You will know it the moment you close your eyes – even without praying. As you go somewhere to give a talk, the right words just flow out of your mouth. If you come across conscientious people, you are drawn to enter their houses.
    Everything seeks relationship. Even flowers have the power of attraction to create relationships, whether as a subject or object partner. Even if you see someone for the first time, it does not mean that you cannot relate to that person. That is how a magnet is – its essence is eternally unchanging. By the same token, if you go to such a place, you feel joyful and are inspired to speak. Once you enter that state, your mouth opens even if you were not intending to speak.
    When you go to that other world someday, what will you say to God who has been guiding the work of redemption and who took great pains to this day to find one Adam? From the Genesis up to the present day, God has been seeking His perfect son Adam. You all know the Principle. This is the weapon that can save countless people. Until now, God could not teach humankind and consequently had to guide the work of redemption amid ignorance. On earth, we work on God’s behalf and are doing greater things than He. The Principle provides us with a path to enlighten and assemble a following of hundreds and thousands of Adams.

   It is not necessary to eat crops that have been contaminated by pollution. I will create an environment in which the individual can live on what they grow with sincerity. If you have five family members, then do your own farming and eat the food you have harvested. Do not buy from other places. You should grow vegetables and even your own rice to eat. If people put the Unification Church in charge of this, there is no need to worry about the Uruguay Round. Otherwise, the world will perish due to pollution. (252-295, 1994.1.1)

1.3. The mission of Mary in the course of Jesus

Children of the direct lineage of God will only appear if, in the fallen world, a person in a position similar to Adam can mature and become a representative of the archangelic position on God’s side, inherit the seed of the archangel on God’s side and rise to the ideal of the original seed. Therefore, we can ask who the father of Jesus was. The father was not Joseph. It was someone in the realm of the archangel on God’s side, not the realm of the fallen archangel. However, God Himself could not have come down to create a baby. Satan is the archangel, isn’t he? It must have been someone on the level of the archangel, but greater than the fallen archangel, who could be a loyal subject on heaven’s side. Satan could not accuse a person in this position. The one who comes with the authority of God’s son in the realm of the heart, and whom Satan cannot accuse, is the Messiah. It is very complicated. This is the way a firstborn son who could receive the first love of God was born for the first time on earth. (169-194, 1987.10.31)

In order for Jesus to undergo the course in which he could indemnify all of the disordered events of providential history, he needed the absolute support of his mother. At the wedding in Cana, Galilee, when Jesus’ mother told him they had run out of wine, he said, “O woman, what have you to do with me?”(John 2:4) Was he in a good mood when he said this? He snapped at her, and meant, “What foolish things are you talking about at the wedding of relatives? You haven’t even done your duty as a mother!” You can understand this, can’t you? (139-307, 1986.1.31)

As Jesus was in an official public position, and if he had married, it would have been according to the heavenly law and principles. He would not have behaved like a man who happens to meet some woman and lives with her. He had to keep in mind the direction history was moving and the providential age. For the purposes of restoration through indemnity, this was absolutely necessary. Jesus could not marry because these requirements were not met. (139-307, 1986.1.31)

In what manner did Jesus, who had right of kingship over all kings, enter the world? He came inheriting the victorious tradition by which the lineage had been changed. That is why when he was conceived in Mary’s womb Satan could not say, “That is my son.” Mary conceived Jesus on the national-level foundation that had been inherited from the historical tradition of heart left by Tamar. Through this, Mary was able to restore through indemnity Eve’s failure and to stand in the position of having brought forth fruit, which had been the hope of women throughout history. Since Jesus’ conception took place based on the completed restoration of the right of the eldest son, from the time of his conception Satan could not claim him as his own. At the time of Tamar, Perez could not claim to be the firstborn son on God’s side while he was in the womb, but only after his birth. (139-309, 1986.1.31)

Jesus Was Born with the Right of the Eldest Son

Therefore, those who believe in Jesus are reborn through the love of God, with God as their center.

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)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1476

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.

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 🌿.

    When you look at a horizontal line, it looks like a plane but when it stands perpendicular, the standard for that perpendicular line will be different. How do you adjust to the zero point? If you go this way, there will surely be a counteraction. Therefore, you have to adjust to that zero point. In a power plant there are many different types of meters. Each meter has something similar to the zero point from which direction, power and quantity are measured. There has to be such a zero point standard.
    What kind of standard is that? It is something that exists and yet does not, or something that does not exist and yet does. There is such a place. Those who practice Zen meditation use the term ecstasy to refer to a state of mind similar to that. You should be able to approach a spiritual level of that kind. Once you reach that standard, you will find something that would surely enable your horizontal standard to respond.

    The first commandment is, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” The second commandment is, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” The first commandment says you should love God, and the second one says you should love your neighbor, meaning all humankind. You should love all humankind; they are your brothers and neighbors. (136-139, 1985.12.22) Arrogance is your enemy.
    Arrogance and stubbornness are the natures and elements of Satan. Instead of being arrogant and stubborn, you should be modest and harmonious. You should be a person who can create harmony and friendship; someone who can harmonize with everyone. Everything starts to flow from here. Something greater cannot arise if people or things do not unite. This is what happens when there is no harmony. Jealousy and envy are other natures of Satan, but for us, arrogance and stubbornness are unforgivable. (37-132, 1970.12.23)

1.3. The mission of Mary in the course of Jesus

Summary:
Jesus was born through a purified lineage established by the sacrifices of biblical figures like Perez, Zerah, and Tamar 📜. Because Tamar’s son represented an adopted child, a pure virgin who shared Tamar’s radical faith and willingness to risk her life was needed to fulfill God’s direct lineage 🕊️. Mary fulfilled this role by accepting the archangel Gabriel’s message and conceiving Jesus during her engagement to Joseph—risking public execution under Jewish law to inherit and protect God’s sacred lineage 👑.

Japan’s position was just like that of Britain, because Japan had taken on the mission of the Eve nation. In the British Isles, Protestants and Catholics, Ireland and Scotland even now are still in conflict. This conflict must be resolved. Japan must be in the exact same position as Britain or she cannot become the Eve nation.
    That is why there are two disparate children within Japan. They are the proNorth Korean Jochongryeon and proSouth Korean Mindan. They are heterogeneous twins within the womb of Japan, the Eve nation. The Japanese government and people have regarded this fact unfavorably. In order to fulfill her mission as the Eve nation, Japan must give birth to them and make them one. I am directing you to organize activities focused on making the Jochongryeon and Mindan in Japan one, because such a time has come.
    As a woman, Japan must love the Korean Jochongryeon and Mindan. The only people in Japan who know about this are our Unification Church members. No matter what difficulties may arise, without cutting the ribbon that announces the unity of Jochongryeon and Mindan, without restoring the children, Cain and Abel, and making them like brothers with one mind, Japan cannot fulfill Eve’s mission.
    Eve can return to the Adam nation by making them one. When the mother who is one with her children unites with the father, the worldwide Cain and Abel realms, the democratic world and communist world will be harmonized. This depends on Korea and Japan. It is like Rebecca and Tamar. Didn’t their twins fight within their wombs? Without giving birth to them and making them one, the mission of the Eve nation cannot be fulfilled.
    No matter how difficult it is, there is no way for Japanese women to return to their nation without winning over the 600,000 Koreans in Japan, the same number as the people of Israel. This is why you should not trouble yourself with witnessing to Japanese people. You should first give birth to the twins in your womb and successfully make them one. When you can do that – when Jochongryeon and Mindan become one and unite with me – Japan can be brought to order as the Eve nation. (255-159, 1994.3.10)

    How can we describe God’s attributes? They are mysterious. God is absolute, unique, eternal and unchanging. There is no way to deny this. A person with those qualities of love is an absolutely happy person, uniquely happy person, eternally happy person and unchangingly happy person. Eternal, absolute, unchanging and unique freedom; and ultimately, an absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal kind of happiness is found in such circumstances. By inheriting these attributes, eternal life automatically results. That is the way it is. (279-73, 1996.7.24)

1.2. Fundamental restoration in the womb, through Tamar

Summary:
God’s lineage required reversing the position of the firstborn son directly within the mother’s womb 🤱, a spiritual condition established when Perez pushed past Zerah in Tamar’s womb to be born first on God’s side rather than Satan’s. Tamar risked her life and used deception with her father-in-law Judah to maintain this sacred lineage, and it draws a symbolic connection between the red string tied on Zerah’s hand during birth and modern political events like the rise of communism and World War II dictators 🌍.
