Why do men exist? Men often say they are not interested in such issues because they can usually live alone, but men are born for the sake of women. Without women, men have no reason to be here. There is nothing that has come into being for its own sake. (285-220, 1997.5.19)

As viewed from God’s original ideal of creation, the eldest son should come from God’s side and, of course, the second son should also come from God’s side. Due to the Fall, the position of the first son was taken by Satan, and the position of the second son went to God. This has to be made right. Thus, when we consider the story of Esau and Jacob in the Bible, Jacob united with his mother and received her help. He gave Esau the pottage of lentils and bread in exchange for the birthright of the firstborn son. Until today, we could not understand why Bible history is the way it is. With the appearance of the Unification Church, its meaning was clarified for the first time. (134-304, 1985.8.16)

The Advent of the Messiah and the Purpose of His Second Coming

Many people think that John the Baptist was a great providential figure. However, we need to look again at the role of John the Baptist. Did he not testify to Jesus as the Messiah at the Jordan River? Then why did John not follow and assist Jesus, but rather said ‘he must increase and I must decrease’?

How should a wife relate to her husband? She should hold his hand and say, “I now know that you and I are twin brother and sister born together, so we can never be separated.” When Adam and Eve were chased out of the Garden of Eden, they were separated from God, shedding tears of sorrow, but now in the age of restoration, we must shed tears of the opposite kind. Through the process of our lives, we must indemnify the fact of our not having been sons and daughters of God’s Kingdom. (238- 254, 1992.11.22)

You should realize that I, who discovered the world of God’s heart, am not a fraud. All the things you hear from me cannot be found any place in this world. My teachings cannot be found in any library book either here on earth or in the spirit world. It is the first time, the very first occasion that these truths have been known! These are the new words of truth. They cannot be found anywhere else on earth or in the spirit world. They were locked away in the treasure storehouse and could not be taken out before, by God or any person in the spirit world or on earth. (303-59, 1999.7.4)

Original Substance of the Divine Principle

The Advent of the Messiah and the Purpose of His Second Coming

The Bible contains prophecies that predict both the Lord of suffering (Is 53) and the Lord of glory (Is 9,11,60)  This is because the human portion of responsibility is always involved in any providential outcome.  Jesus did not come in order to die on the cross. Rather, his death on the cross was a result of the unbelief of the Jewish people and the faithlessness of his disciples.

Eschatology and the End of Human History

The Fall of Man was an illicit sexual relationship. Now we see all kinds of deviant relationships in society, even incestuous ones. This is a sign that the Last Days are here. Satan and his forces are promoting a ‘riot’ of deviant sexual relationships. Yet, if we have a humble attitude, we can realize that God has given us the standard of absolute sexual ethics as the very core of His New Truth that has been given in these Last Days.

Why do people not wish to die, even when they are living a mediocre life? Why live? What is the origin of life? I am sure that you have many questions like this. However, your questions cannot be answered through the philosophy books written by men. Philosophy until now has only, in effect, been seeking a path toward God. What is religion then? A religious life begins when you know God and live together with Him. (186-12, 1989.1.24)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 923

Christians have not known that God is a God of grief and a God of pain. Does God exist as the Holy King and Lord of Judgment? What is there for Him to desire that would make Him want to be the Lord of Judgment? Because of the Fall, God is compelled to act as a judge. Yet no one knows how to set this right. There is no one even in religious circles who knows this. The only place that knows is the Unification Church. (196- 172, 1990.1.1)

Christians who don’t accept the New Truth will be in the same position as the Jewish people were at the time of Jesus. They are the stars that will fall from heavn, as stated in Matthew 4:29

Among the existing things in the world there is no power that can match God’s because God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and absolute. God is also eternal, immortal and self-existing. But what is it that God desires? It is not money, knowledge, or power; so what does God desire? There is only one thing God absolutely needs, something absolutely needed by both humankind and God. It is true love. (Blessed Family – 302)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 847

In the spirit world, you can travel billions of miles in a second because it is transcendent of time and space. You can look back a thousand, or even tens of thousands of years, and see things from the past. What would you be looking for when you looked into the past? If you looked at nothing else, what is it you would want? If you are a man, you would want to meet a woman. After meeting her, you would wonder how great the original love inside that person’s heart is, or how much love that person has. Love becomes the standard of measurement. (209-17, 1990.11.24)

Eschatology and the End of Human History

The Last Days have occurred several times, including the current time, right now.
This means that the earth will not literally be destroyed in the Last Days.
The verses in the Bible saying that are symbolic.
Fire is symbolic for God’s word. Satan’s sovereignty will be destroyed and God’s good sovereignty will be ascendant.
