What is the difference between true
love and authority? In true love, you
give love and then forget that you have
given it. What is the line between good
and evil? Evil is where something is giv-
en with the intention of receiving all
the benefit for oneself, and goodness is
where, even though you give, you forget
that you have done so. Even in a house-
hold, those who serve others more stand
on the good side, and the one who lives for
others most becomes the master of that
family in the end. Let us say there are ten
friends. Which would be the best among
them? The one who cares for all the oth-
ers. Then the ten friends would make the
one who was taking care of them the cen-
tral figure and serve him. This is how the
universe is inherited. (141-252, 1986.2.26)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1289

Protecting and guarding the chastity
of men and women is the same as pro-
tecting the universe. This is because the
order of love between men and women is
the basis of the universe.
The sexual organ is more important
than the head. You cannot find the ori-
gin of true love in your head. You can-
not find the origin of true life in your
head. You cannot find the origin of true
lineage in your head. Where is this ori-
gin, then? It is in the sexual organs. Isn’t
that only too true? Everything can be
found in the sexual organs – life, love,
and lineage. It is the main palace of love.
You can find the root of life there. It is
the same in the case of the lineage. The
sexual organ is the most precious part
of the human body as well as the human
world and history of humanity. Without
it, reproduction of humankind would be
impossible. (203-104, 1990.6.17)

Angels

2. War Among the Angels

Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his
angels fighting against the dragon; and the
dragon and his angels fought, but they were
defeated and there was no longer any place for
them in heaven.
Revelation 12.7-8

Say: It has been revealed to me that a com-
pany of the jinn gave ear. Then they said, “We
have indeed heard a Qur’an wonderful, guiding
to rectitude. We believe in it, and we will not
associate with our Lord anyone. He—exalted by
our Lord’s majesty! —has not taken to Himself
either consort or a son.
“The fools among us spoke against God
outrage, and we had thought that men and jinn
would never speak against God a lie. But there
were certain men of mankind who would take
refuge with certain men of the jinn, and they
increased them in vileness, and they thought,
even as you also thought, that God would never
raise up anyone.
“And we stretched towards heaven, but we
found it filled with terrible guards and meteors.
We would sit there on seats to hear; but any
listening now finds a meteor in wait for him.
And so we know not whether evil is intended
for those in the earth, or whether their Lord
intends for them rectitude.
“Some of us are righteous, and some of us
are otherwise; we are sects differing… Some
of us have surrendered, and some of us have
deviated.” Those who have surrendered sought
rectitude; but as for those who have deviated,
they have become firewood for hell.
Qur’an 72.1-15

Teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon

Because the archangel’s Fall led Adam and Eve to their ruin and the ruin of the human world, [others of] the angelic world have been working on God’s behalf, fighting against Satan. The good angels fight against the evil Satan [and his minions]. Whenever the side of the good angels wins a battle, there is a step forward. (109:18, October 26, 1980)

Good spirits are fighting their way to advance progress towards God’s original world… while evil spirits are struggling to block the way. The evil spirit world and evil physical world are in a constant communication. Good spirits are the spirits of people who were opposed and persecuted in the sinful world. They are religious believers. (134:10, January 1, 1985)

God and Satan fight over human beings, vying to claim them for their side. The spirits of people who have passed away add their forces to the struggle. Good spirits help good people, while evil spirits help evil people. In this way, evil people are pulled to the side of Satan, while the good people go to the side of God. The physical and the spiritual team up in this manner and cause all manner of conflict, although people are ignorant of it. (161:14, January 1, 1987)❖

For He Will Give His Angels Charge Over You

Cheon Seong Gyeong 451

What are you living for? There will be
some who say they live to eat and there
will be some who say they live to work
or they live without a purpose. What do
human beings live for? If you say you
live for the sake of love, how great this
answer is! Human beings are born as
the fruit of love, live in love, and return
to the eternal love of God’s bosom.
This is the original life of creation.
(Blessed Family -1064)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1215

Who has been moving history until
now? Satan has. Therefore, we must be
separated from him. Unless we remove
Satan, there is no way God can enter. It
is not God’s territory. Since we are still
in the territory of Satan, unless we set
indemnity conditions in this fallen realm
and separate from Satan, unless we lay
the indemnity conditions to drive Satan
away, God’s domain will not expand and
the foundation for God’s activities can-
not be built. Therefore, we must be sep-
arated from Satan and drive him away
completely. (161-204, 1987.2.4)

Angels

Angels and spiritual benefactors are a feature of all religions. They may be recognized as gods, devas, kami, the spirits of animals and mountains (shamanism), or dignitaries like the Jade emperor (china) and the Buddhist bodhisattvas. in the latter group are the spirits of human beings who lived exemplary lives on earth and were then elevated to the status of deity and assigned the mission of angels. nevertheless, in the monotheistic faiths these benefactors, no matter how exalted, are regarded as subordinate to and servants of the one ultimate reality.

In many traditions, these benevolent spirits dispense blessings to the human world and protect people from harm. angelic visitors communicate God’s instructions, as the angel Gabriel spoke to Muhammad and to the virgin Mary. thus angels take the role of “ministering spirits,” serving God and assisting human beings—God’s children.

Angels have power, and hence they are often the objects of worship. yet within Judaism, Islam and Christianity are teachings that human beings are superior to angels. along this line, Father Moon teaches that the angels assisted God in every step of creation, up to his ultimate goal of creating human beings. God placed angels in the Garden of Eden to educate and assist Adam and Eve as they grew from childhood to mature adult-hood, when they were to become perfect and fulfill the ideal of creation. chief among them was the archangel Lucifer, who however became corrupt and caused his charges to fall. (see chapter 6: The Devil and His Activities)it still remains for human beings to judge the angels and regain their lost dignity.

1.The Identity and Mission of Angels

Who makes His angels spirits; His ministers a
flaming fire.
Psalm 104.4

He created man of clay like the potters,
and the Jinn did He create of smokeless fire. 24
Qur’an 55.14-15

Are they [the angels] not all ministering spirits
sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are
to obtain salvation?
Hebrews 1.14

The angels celebrate the praises of their Lord,
and pray for forgiveness for all beings on earth.
Qur’an 42.5

Those who have said, “Our Lord is God,” then have
gone straight, upon them the angels descend, say-
ing, “Fear not, neither sorrow; rejoice in Paradise
that you were promised. We are your friends in
the present life and in the world to come; therein
you shall have all that your souls desire.”
Qur’an 41.30-31

For He will give His angels charge over you,
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Psalm 91.10-11

I [the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra] relieve the
distress of the beings of all evil realms, and equally
bestow happiness on them. I continue to do so
through the lapse of boundless kalpas, and in the
extent of the ten quarters of the universe. The
benefits of all are eternal, and omnipresent. 25
Gandavyuha Sutra 39 (Buddhism)

Anything evil refrain from doing; all good deeds
do! So you will be released forever from the
influence of evil stars, and always be encom-
passed by good guardian angels.
Tract of the Quiet Way (Taoism)

When a man walks on the highway, a company
of angels goes before him, proclaiming, “Make
way for the image of the Holy One!”
Midrash on Psalm 17.8 (Judaism)

It [the Qur’an] is naught but an inspiration
that is inspired,
which one of mighty powers [Gabriel] has
taught him,
one vigorous; and he grew clear to view
when he was on the uppermost horizon.
Then he drew near and came down
till he was two bows’ length away or even nearer,
and he revealed unto His slave that which He
revealed.
Qur’an 53.4-10

The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of
Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed
of a man whose name was Joseph, of the house
of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. And
he came to her and said, “Hail, O favored one,
the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly trou-
bled at the saying, and considered in her mind
what sort of greeting this might be. And the
angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for
you have found favor with God. And behold,
you will conceive in your womb and bear a son,
and you shall call his name Jesus.
Luke 1.26-31

Lord Scripture Glory says, “For seventeen gen-
erations I have been incarnated as a high man-
darin, and I have never oppressed my people
nor maltreated my subordinates. I have helped
them in misfortune; I have rescued them from
poverty; I have taken compassion on their
orphans; I have forgiven their transgressions; I
have extensively practiced secret virtue which
is attuned to Heaven above. If you are able to
keep your hearts as I have kept mine, Heaven
will surely bestow upon you blessings.”

Yet the way of the Unification Church
is different. For what purpose do we eat?
For the sake of the world and to abolish
this evil world. We see in order to clean
up this evil world – not to become a part
of the evil side but to defeat it. How we
hear, think, walk and act is different
from the secular world. (36-71, 1970.11.15)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1099

From a principled viewpoint, the
day of celebration and hope that human
beings long for the most is not the day
when they were born or the day they get
married, or the day you, as a citizen who
lost your nation, recovered your nation,
or even the day of your nation’s indepen-
dence. You should know that the great-
est day of hope, the day that humanity
truly longs for, is God’s Day and Parents’
Day. The establishment of such a day on
the earth has become our deepest wish.
Once God’s Day and True Parents’ Day
are established, then this naturally leads
to Children’s Day and the Day of All
Things. (92-252, 1977.4.18)

Hell

3. Rescuing Souls from Hell

For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righ-
teous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us
to God, being put to death but made alive in the
spirit; in which went and preached to the spirits
in prison.
1 Peter 3.18-19
As for those who will be wretched, they will be
in the Fire, sighing and wailing will be their por-
tion; they will abide there as long as the heavens
and the earth endure, save for that which your
Lord wills. Lo! Your Lord is the Doer of what
He will.
And as for those who will be glad, they will
be in the Garden; they will abide there as long as
the heavens and the earth endure, save for that
which your Lord wills—a gift unfailing. 23
Qur’an 11.106-08
When Allah has finished His Judgments among
the people, He will take whomever He will out
of Hell through His Mercy… They will come
out of the Fire, completely burnt and then the
water of life will be poured over them and they
will grow under it as does a seed that comes in
the mud of the torrent…
Those people will come out like pearls, and
they will have (golden) necklaces, and then
they will enter Paradise whereupon the people
of Paradise will say, “These are the people
emancipated by the Beneficent. He has admitted
them into Paradise without them having done
any good deeds and without sending forth any
good (for themselves).”
Hadith of Bukhari 9.93.532 (Islam)

“Ho! servant of Yama! Say, what sin have I com-
mitted, for which I have incurred this deepest
hell, frightful for its torments? Known as King
Vipascit, I protected the earth with upright-
ness; I let no fighting rage; no guest departed
with averted countenance; nor did I offend the
spirits of the ancestors, the gods, ascetics, or my
servants; nor did I covet other men’s wives, or
wealth, or aught else belonging to them. How,
then, have I incurred this very terrible hell?”
Yama’s officer: “Come then, we go elsewhere.
You have now seen everything, for you have seen
hell. Come then, let us go elsewhere.”
Thereupon the king prepared to follow
him; but a cry went up from all the men that
abode in torment: “Be gracious, O king! Stay
but a moment, for the air that clings to thy
body gladdens our mind and entirely dispels the
burning and the sufferings and pains from our
bodies, O tiger-like man! Be gracious, O king!”
Vipascit: “Neither in heaven nor in Brahma’s
world do men experience such joy as arises from
conferring bliss on suffering creatures. If, while
I am present, torment does not hurt these men,
here then will I remain, firm as a mountain.”
Yama’s officer: “Come, O king; we proceed.
Enjoy the delights won by your own merit; leave
here the evildoers to their torments.”
Vipascit, “As long as these beings are in sore
suffering, I will not go. From my presence the
denizens of hell grow happy. Fie on the sickly
protection-begging life of that man who shows
no favor to one distressed, even though he be a
resolute foe! Sacrifices, gifts, austerities do not
work for the welfare of him who has no thought
for the succor of the distressed… To grant
deliverance to these men excels, I consider, the
joy of heaven. If many sufferers shall obtain
happiness while only I undergo pain, shall I not
in truth embrace it?”
Dharma [the Law]: “These evil-doers
have come to hell in consequence of their own
deeds; you also, O king, must go to heaven in
consequence of your meritorious deeds. I lead
you to heaven; mount this heavenly chariot and
linger not; let us go.”
Vipascit: “Men in thousands, O Dharma,
suffer pain here in hell; and being in affliction
they cry to me to save them; hence I will not
depart.”
Dharma: “O king! Your merit is truly beyond
reckoning. In evincing now this compassion
here in the hells, your merit has amounted even
higher. Come, enjoy the abode of the immortals;
let these unfortunates consume away in hell the
sin arising from their own actions!”
Vipascit: “Whatever good deeds I possess,
O Lord of the Thirty Gods, by means thereof
let the sinners who are undergoing torment be
delivered from hell!”
Indra: “So be it, O king! You have gained an
even more exalted station: see too these sinners
delivered from hell!”
Markandeya Purana 13-15 (Hinduism)

Hell

2. Warnings About Hell

Teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon

People can never escape from hell; they are trapped there forever. Yet, do you realize that your own mother, father and relatives will likely end up going to hell? You vaguely think that things will somehow work out. However, the reality is that your beloved parents and relatives are headed for hell. In this life, if they should go to prison, wouldn’t you cry out desperately and do whatever it takes to free them?

Yet truly, your own children, parents, siblings and kinfolk are bound for an eternal prison from which there is no escape. If you really knew that, wouldn’t you feel desperate to save them? This means you are not certain whether or not hell truly exists. You might think that it probably exists, but you really do not know what it is like. Now you may be uncertain, but once you die you will know for sure. Then it will be too late. (34:267, September 13, 1970)

What would happen if God were to bring all believers to heaven, even though they were ignorant of heaven’s laws and [had not prepared themselves to fit with] the structure of the ideal realm? They would face difficulties living there. (390:260, August 13, 2002)

God’s mind has room to accommodate everyone; He wants to welcome every human being to live within His mind. But should He open the door to wicked people and permit them to enter His domain? Or should He close the door and keep them out? This is God’s problem.

God abides at the highest place, where everyone wants to enter. However, the mind of God has many levels, with walls or mountains separating them. This is the reality of the spirit world: there are many different levels, each walled off from the next. On one side of the wall is hell; on the other side is heaven. Should the spirit world have walls? Or shouldn’t they exist? What do you think?

In the spirit world, groups of people with the same mindset live together; this creates a wall. It is very difficult to go up to the next higher level, and nearly as hard to go down. Most people cannot even dream of leaving their limited domain. Only the most highly developed spirits can freely travel down to the hells and back. They have the mind of God, who wants to embrace all people.

Yet God’s situation is difficult. The people on His right are good, while the people on His left are bad. Although He wants to embrace good and bad alike, He has no other choice but to separate them. God declares, “Anyone who is greedy and selfish will be placed upside-down.” Don’t you think this will happen to you if you are self-centered and insist on your own way? Self-centered people think nothing of trampling and beating up others as they scramble to reach the top. They would push away the good people and leave them in misery. Therefore, God sets up walls between the different regions of the spirit world, to keep the evil spirits from breaking through. These walls are absolutely necessary. Were evil spirits given freedom and equality with good spirits, they would cause such havoc in heaven that even God would have to escape.

The only way to avoid being blocked by walls in the spirit world is to train yourself during your earthly life. Once you get to the spirit world, it will take tens of thousands of years to climb up each step. (November 4, 1990)

The perfection of man and woman is for the two to abide in love with God as the third—the unity of a man, a woman and God. Yet ever since the Human Fall, not one human being could reach that exalted state of love. Having fallen into a world of darkness, don’t people nevertheless aspire to regain the heights? The goal of true love is extremely high, but in reality the standard of human life is extremely low. Knowing the ideal but recognizing that they live very far from it, people feel heartbreak, emptiness and misery. That is truly hell. (92:197, April 10, 1977)

What do we mean when we refer to
the ideal family of the original creation?
The ideal family of the original creation
is made up of the Heavenly Father-King,
the king of the spiritual kingdom and
the king of the earthly kingdom; in oth-
er words the king of heaven and the king
of the earth. That is why you are princes.
What is the ideal family? The past rep-
resents God, the earth represents the
present, and the children are the princ-
es of the future. So the Cheon Bu Wang,
the Heavenly Father-King stands in the
place of God; the Earthly Father-King
and Mother-Queen stand in the place
of the father and the mother; and the
children stand in the place of the princ-
es, that is, the place of sons and daugh-
ters. So looking at the three generations
as one family, the grandparents repre-
sent God, the earthly father-king and
the earthly mother-queen represent the
parents; and their sons and daughters
become princes and princesses. Thus,
each of these three generations is repre-
sentatives of kingship. If we talk about
the grandparents we are talking about
the past, if we talk about the parents,
we are talking about the present, and if
we talk about the children, we are talk-
ing about the future. When these are all
linked together, the past, the present and
the future are all connected in them. (219-
244, 1991.9.8)

Health is the most important thing.
Even if you are sick with a cold, you
should have healthy feelings. It is impor-
tant to practice having a facial expres-
sion that betrays nothing to other peo-
ple. Even if you have a cold, you should
not look sick or appear worried when
you are facing some difficulties. When a
man looks worried, you should ask what
is wrong and comfort him, always with
a happy expression. (131-283, 1984.5.3)

Hell

2. Warnings about Hell

Rivalry in worldly increase distracts you
Until you visit the graves.
Nay, but you will come to know!
Again, you will come to know!
Would that you knew now with certainty of
mind!
For you will behold hell-fire;
Indeed, you will behold it with sure vision.
Then, on that day, you will be asked
concerning pleasure.
Qur’an 102

There was a rich man, who was clothed in pur-
ple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously
every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named
Lazarus, full of sores, who desired to be fed with
what fell from the rich man’s table; moreover
the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor
man died and was carried by the angels to
Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and
was buried; and in Hades, being in torment,
he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off
and Lazarus in his bosom. And he called out,
“Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and
send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water
and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this
flame.” But Abraham said, “Son, remember that
you in your lifetime received your good things,
and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now
he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.
And besides all this, between us and you a great
chasm has been fixed, in order that those who
would pass from here to you may not be able,
and none may cross from there to us.”
And he said, “Then I beg you, father, to send
him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers,
so that he may warn them, lest they also come
into this place of torment.” But Abraham said,
“They have Moses and the prophets; let them
hear them.” And he said, “No, father Abraham;
but if some one goes to them from the dead,
they will repent.” He said to him, “If they do
not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will
they be convinced if someone should rise from
the dead.”
Luke 16.19-31

In the garden of the city of Sieu-Shui-Siuen,
there once lived a man by the name of Fan Ki,
who led a wicked life. He induced men to stir up
quarrels and lawsuits with each other, to seize
by violence what did not belong to them, and
to dishonor other men’s wives and daughters.
When he could not succeed easily in carrying
out his evil purposes, he made use of the most
odious stratagems.
One day he died suddenly, but came back to
life twenty-four hours afterward and bade his wife
gather together their relatives and neighbors.
When all were assembled he told them that he
had seen the king of the dark realm who said
to him, “Here the dead receive punishment for
their deeds of evil. The living know not the lot
that is reserved for them. They must be thrown
into a bed of coals whose heat is in proportion to
the extent of their crimes and to the harm they
have done their fellows.”
The assembled company listened to this
report as to the words of a feverish patient; they
were incredulous and refused to believe the story.
But Fan Ki had filled the measure of crime, and
Yama, the king of hell, had decided to make an
example of him so as to frighten men from their
evil ways. At Yama’s command Fan Ki took a
knife and mutilated himself, saying, “This is my
punishment for inciting men to dissolute lives.”
He put out both his eyes, saying, “This is my
punishment for having looked with anger at my
parents, and at the wives and daughters of other
men with lust in my heart.” He cut off his right
hand, saying, “This is my punishment for having
killed a great number of animals.” He cut open
his body and plucked out his heart, saying, “This
is my punishment for causing others to die under
tortures.” And last of all he cut out his tongue to
punish himself for lying and slandering.
The rumor of these occurrences spread afar,
and people came from every direction to see the
mangled body of the unhappy man. His wife and
children were overcome with grief and shame,
and closed the door to keep out the curious
crowd. But Fan Ki, still living by the ordeal of
Yama, said in inarticulate sounds, “I have but
executed the commands of the king of hell, who
wants my punishment to serve as a warning to
others. What right have you to prevent them
from seeing me?”
For six days the wicked man rolled upon the
ground in the most horrible agonies, and at the
end of that time he died.
