When balancing the ledger of a store, you have to calculate revenue and expenditure accurately. In balancing the accounts of a mere store, you have to exercise care. However, do you pay as much attention when you balance the accounts of your life? Have you ever even tried to balance the accounts of your life? Have you gone into the red, or are you in the black? If you see red ink, you should lament most grievously. People should be able to sing for joy on their deathbed. If you find yourself struggling to accept the reality of death when face it, that struggle only goes to show that you have lived a life in the red. We should lead our lives in the black in the realm of heart, based on the absolute standard. (19-289, 1968.3.10)

Christian churches today say that God passes judgment and does other things. Yet, if God were free to do as He wants, there would be no need to withhold judgment in this way until now. He would have executed judgment immediately after the Fall. There is no principle that allows God to establish His ideal of love on the foundation of victory gained through rendering judgment. (210-61, 1990.12.1)

The Principle of Restoration

The Providence of Restoration Centered on Moses

Joshua and the younger Israelites successfully completed 40 years of wandering in the wilderness due to the failure of the first spying mission and the faithlessness of the Israelite people.
He sent two spies into Jericho, who were hidden by the prostitute Rehab. They successfully completed their mission and gave a faithful report.
Joshua, in a similar course to Moses, crossed the Jordan river and set up stones as an altar. These stones represented the twelve tribes and the eventual building of the temple. The Israelites marched in obedience to God’s command, and on the seventh day the shouted and the wall collapsed and they took the city. This foreshadowed that Jesus would come in the future and, with his authority and the work of the saints, would destroy the barrier between heaven and earth that Satan had constructed. Joshua defeated 31 Kings.
We learn from Moses’ course that God revealed and foreshadowed the course that Jesus would walk. We also learn that although God’s will is predestined, its accomplishment is decided the the fulfillment of the human portion of responsibility. Everything is decided in an instant and the sum of instances makes up our entire life. God puts his providential figures through tests either before or after He grants them His Grace.

Happy Independence Day! We thank God for the freedoms that our ancestors and faithful forebears fought so hard for. We pledge to keep them by fulfilling our own portion of responsibility in front of God, our Father.

If our ancestors had not fallen, we would have lived our lives serving God. You must serve God with your heart, and in the course of your daily life. (150-213, 1961.4.15)

Although there are many religious paths today, the one religion that can penetrate the heart has not appeared during the course of history. Because God exists, however, such a religion must inevitably appear. Some religions instruct in social ethics and morality and others teach about the infinite spirit world. However, there must be a religion that combines teachings on ethics and morality with those that describe the incorporeal world, uniting them upon the essential core of one heart. I have searched for such a religion and it is Christianity. Christianity is a religion of heart. Through the Fall, human beings lost God and forgot that God is our Father. We lost the substantial True Parents and Christianity is the religion that can reintroduce them. (9-140, 1960.5.1)

The Principle of Restoration

The Israelites had to wander in the wilderness, one year for each day of the 40 day spying mission, due to their faithlessness.
They should have united with Moses and entered Canaan together with him. Rather, they complained and fell into faithlessness again. Moses was to restore this by striking the rock at Kadesh-barnea, thus bringing forth water to save the Israelites. However, when Moses raged in uncontrolled anger at the murmuring of the Israelite people against him, he struck the rock twice, which was a sin.
The rock represented Jesus, the restored Adam, the root of the tablets of stone. The rock was also a symbol of God,
Striking the rock twice symbolized striking down the restored Adam, meaning Jesus. This was a remote reason Jesus would be crucified as a result of the faithlessness of the Jewish people.
Because of Moses striking the rock twice, only the younger generation of Israelites entered Canaan. the older generation died in the wilderness. Also, Jesus had to suffer the three temptations of Satan (Matt 4:1-11).
Soon after the rock was struck twice, the Israelites again disbelieved, and God sent fiery serpents to kill them. Those who looked upon a raised bronze serpent were saved. This symbolized that if the Israelites did not believe in Jesus, he would be crucified and those who repented after Jesus was raised on the Cross would be saved.
Joshua was the one who inherited Moses’ mission.

Do you know how infinite and unchanging the spirit world is? We are now aware of the vastness of the universe. The universe is over 22 billion light years across. How big is that? Light travels 300 million meters in a second. In one second, light can go around the Earth seven and a half times. The distance light covers at that speed in one year is called a light year. Light takes 22 billion years to cross the universe, not 200 days. So how vast is the universe? The entire universe is the stage for our activities. (206-83, 1990.10.3)

The Unification Church is the place that unites God and humankind and unites mind and body through the ideal of true love. God has true love, true life, and true lineage, and we came from Him. We, therefore, should also have true love, true life, and true lineage. Since humankind was born with a relationship of unity between parent and child, centering on God’s true love, the mind and body of each person should have been united into one naturally, just as God’s mind and body are naturally one in true love. However, human beings are still continuously struggling on the front line, with their bodies on the side of Satan connected to satanic love, life, and lineage and their minds on the side of God. (201-354, 1990.4.30)

God loves me, but He cannot help me when I am walking the course of indemnity in the process of fulfilling the human portion of responsibility. I must go forward and overcome Satan on my own. Adam was originally given the realm of the ideal through which he should have taken dominion over Satan and the satanic world. I must surpass that realm. (124-304, 1983.3.1)

This is an enormous universe God has created! There are no cars or restaurants in the spirit world. Yet in the spirit world, we can lovingly express our original abilities. We can create everything as if we were like God, the Creator, who creates all sorts of things based on the concept of true love. When out of love, you command something to appear, the thing will appear in its complete form. If you say, “That kind of tool appear!” it will appear at once. Isn’t that wonderful? If you wishfully think, “I need to prepare this kind of meal for the ten thousand or even millions of people who have come to a banquet hall,” it will appear without fail. If you wish for a golden formal dress, it will appear instantly. How beautiful and wonderful this is! It is wonderful indeed! (217-293, 1991.6.2)

The Principle of Restoration

The Providence of Restoration Centered on Moses

    Moses had to set the foundation for the Messiah. The tabernacle was a symbolic representation of the Messiah. As long as even one person kept faith in the tabernacle, then this object of faith could be passed on like a baton in a race. In this way, God intended to accomplish the purpose of the providential Will.
    There were three courses of attempting to set the Foundation for the Tabernacle. The first time, after Moses fasted 40 days and received the two tablets of stone with the ten commandments and instructions concerning the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle. However, the Israelites had become faithless and were worshiping a golden calf that they had built.
    God appeared again to Moses and told him to carve another pair of stone tablets identical to the first pair, promising that He would again give them the Ten Commandments. The tablets symbolized Jesus and his would-be bride.
After the Israelites set out on their second journey to Canaan, they began to complain again. They wanted the food and luxuries of Egypt. Thus, the second foundation for the Tabernacle also failed.
    The third foundation for the Tabernacle was to be accomplished by success in the spying mission in Canaan of the 12 spies. However, only Joshua and Caleb gave a faithful report. the other spies said that the Canaanites would devour them. This caused the people to murmur against Moses, and they attempted to stone Joshua and Caleb.
    Thus, the second national group level course to restore Canaan failed. The people of Israel would have to wander in the wilderness for 40 years and all of the first generation die in the wilderness.
