For Whom Do People Live?

If you were to answer, “For myself,” you would get a failing mark.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1471

For whom do people live? If you were to answer, “For myself,” you would get a failing mark. Could a family sustain itself through those who live only for themselves? They could not form a family of hope. Could a nation sustain itself through them? It could not. Can the world sustain itself through them? It could not. There would be no place for the world in their lives. The public mind of heaven and earth would reprimand them, “You individualistic villains! Get out of here!” If people always put themselves first, will there be a place for their families? Would there be a place for an ideal nation? Could they enter through a hole that is even narrower than the tip of a knife? However much they tried, they could never enter through such a small space. (57-66, 1972.5.28)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1542

The place we wish to inhabit is heaven. Would there be borders in it? Of course not. Would there be more than one language in it? Surely not. Would there be racial discrimination? Not in the least. Then, what would heaven be like? Since all human beings were originally born from God’s bosom, they are all brothers and sisters. From God’s viewpoint, since all of us are His children, it naturally follows that we are all siblings; from the viewpoint of His kingdom on earth, we are all citizens of the same kingdom. Every one of us is a citizen, a subject of this kingdom. (66-281, 1973.5.16)

The Course of Indemnity and Our Life

Section 2. The Foundation of Faith and the Foundation of Substance

2.1. The Foundation for the Messiah

Summary:
Preparing a foundation for the Messiah requires establishing a foundation of faith (through sacrificial offerings) and a foundation of substance (by uniting Cain and Abel and completely overcoming fallen nature through absolute obedience) 🌳. Because humans inherited a fallen lineage from Satan, they must go through a spiritual “grafting” process—like changing a wild olive tree into a true one—to remove original sin and enter God’s realm of life and love ✨.

    The yellow race is like the first son, the black race the second son, and the white race the third son. Disagreements and fights between these races can cease and unity can be achieved through Unification Thought, which originated in Korea. In this way, an ideal homeland centered upon God can be established. From there, the world will be transformed into a world of peace, unity and victory.
    Thus, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth would be built, and at the same time we would become united with God. We need God to come down to the earth. We need to attend Him as the subject figure of the Kingdom of Heaven, and thus establish one unified Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in spirit world. You need to understand that this is the mission to be fulfilled by Unificationists. On such a foundation, we would finally become one with the Parent and be able to live peacefully in the Kingdom of Heaven. (79-83, 1975.6.1)

   Wait and see: evil free sex will disappear one day. Homosexuals will also disappear one day. Lesbians: women marrying each other – how on earth can that be? Insects in the animal world don’t even do that. Are such people human? Also, those wicked people who say there is no God must all disappear. The materialistic view of history will disappear.

Section 5. Development of the Providence of Restoration and the Mission of the Providential Nations


5.4. The providence of restoration through indemnity is the path that returns to the original idea

Since the start of history based on the principle of restoration through indemnity, Koreans have been a homogeneous race with a five-thousand-year history. They were unable to seize power as an independent nation and have shed much blood. Many loyal patriots became the victims of traitors. That was because this country is a vertical nation, symbolizing and representing numerous loyal patriots of God’s Kingdom who were sacrificed because of Satan in the course of human history. In this way, this people have gone the way of indemnity, a history of suffering, in order to indemnify vertically all miserable circumstances that took place horizontally in the past. (166-249, 1987.6.7)

In order for the Western Civilization to come to Asia, a bridge must be made. If the archangel makes an offering, it cannot simply become the possession of God. Since all things were lost through Eve, he must make the offering having established unity with Eve. What belonged to heaven was taken and belongs to Satan, so by the principle of restoration through indemnity, the archangel nation on God’s side must gather and bring all material things and then make unity with Eve. It must be grafted onto Japan, which is the Eve nation. Why did Japan become an economic power in modern times? In the age of this dispensation, bridges must be built. Japan will inherit all that belongs to America. This has been taking place in the period of 120 years, from the Meiji Reformation until 1988. Try to calculate it. This is connected to 1988. During this 120-year period that ends next year, Japan is to inherit everything from America. (166-292, 1987.6.14)

God’s providence was centered at the Vatican in Rome, and then it passed through Britain and America. Now, after two thousand years, it is returning to Asia. This return is not easily accomplished. According to the principle of restoration through indemnity, history should pass through phenomena opposite to those that occurred in the past. The country of Japan corresponds to England, and Korea is similar to Rome on the Italian peninsula before the providence shifted to Britain. In that age, the responsibility was not fulfilled and the mistake was made on the worldwide level. Now these things have to be indemnified and cleared up in similar circumstances. Without going through the foundation that enables us to do that, we cannot prevent Satan from following us. That is why we have been going this course according to the principle of indemnity.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 643

This universe is the spirit world’s sphere of activity. While the vast universe is its spiritual sphere of activity this world too, at the same time, is the spirit world’s sphere of activity. On earth we can connect with that external realm, the universe. From the viewpoint of God’s providence, it means symbolically that the citizens of heaven now living on earth have reached the standard where they can always contact countless ancestors spread throughout the great universe. In the external world, this is indicated symbolically by the exploration of the universe using satellites. (196-215, 1990.1.1)

Until now the Blessed Couples were left to do as they pleased. Since they had not yet reached the summit that is the top of the growth stage, I could not deal with them as the perfected parent. I could not interfere with them. However, that is all in the past now. As we have passed through the forty-year course and have accomplished the 30,000and 360,000 Couples Blessings, we have gone beyond the formation and growth stages on the global level. This means there is no one in the satanic world who can stop the progress of our church now. We have gone beyond that. Though people opposed on all sides, we have overcome them all.

3.2. Satan’s activities and the victory in the eight stages

Summary:
The path of indemnity through eight stages—from the individual level up to God 🌌—is an unavoidable formula course created to fulfill humanity’s portion of responsibility and overcome the Fall. Because Satan blocks progress at every level, people cannot achieve restoration all at once; instead, they must systematically overcome Satan by winning over “Cain” figures and enduring persecution in difficult places 🌧️. Ultimately, passing through all eight stages step-by-step is required to fully separate from Satan, connect with God’s love, and reach the highest realms of the spirit world ✨.

A mother in her nineties will tell her seventy year-old son when he goes out of the house to be careful of cars, have a nice trip and come back safely. Even if he is seventy, she will still say this to him before he goes anywhere. She can say such things to him. She will continue to say this everyday until she reaches the ripe old age of ninety. She will not get tired of saying it even if she were to continue for eternity. What is the motivating power behind this? It is love. Even in the fallen world, parental love is like that. What would life be like if we belonged to God’s love that fills the original world? When we achieve that state, the realm belonging to the true object of the God can be established for the first time. When we come to know that God’s love is eternal and unchanging, we can validate the theory of eternal life centering on our human love. We live eternally centering on love. (143-280, 1986.3.20

God is absolute, unique, eternal and unchanging. As His children, we should take after His attributes and be absolute, unique, eternal and unchanging children, live as absolute, unique, eternal and unchanging couples, become absolute, unique, eternal and unchanging parents, and perfect absolute, unique, eternal and unchanging families.

Section 1. The Works of Rebecca, Tamar and Mary from the Viewpoint of the Restoration of Motherhood

1.2. Fundamental restoration in the womb, through Tamar

Summary:

Restoring God’s pure lineage required mothers and children to cooperate in reversing the positions of two sons—representing the heavenly nation and Satan’s nation—a struggle that reached its internal peak in Tamar’s womb when Perez pushed aside Zerah 🤱. The passage explains that figures like Jacob and Tamar risked their lives through great struggle, deception, and personal sacrifice to fulfill this heavenly mandate, establishing key spiritual conditions and setting a historical precedent for physical indemnity ceremonies used to restore past misuse of sacred body parts ⚖️.

    Jacob knew that when the angel came he came as a messenger from God. Thus, he asked, “Did you come with the mission to destroy me? Or did you come to give me a blessing?” The angel replied, “I came to bless you.” So Jacob asked, “If you came to bless me, why are you with- holding it from me?” The reply came, “I cannot just give it to you because your portion of responsibility remains.” In other words, Jacob had to wrestle with him and win in order to receive the blessing. That is to say, the blessing could not be granted unless he fought with his life. When challenged by the angel, Jacob determined to be victorious and rose up saying, “I see. All right, even if I lose my fingers or even my arms, I will not lose.” He then wrestled with the mind that he would not let go, even if he were struck by a sword, or had his head cut off. How long did they struggle? They struggled all through the night. He fought with the determination that he would not let go until he died. (20-228, 1968.6.9)

    Furthermore, no words can express our gratitude to You for allowing us to establish and proclaim upon this foundation the Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath for the Parents of Heaven and Earth centered on the True Parents.
    Heavenly Father, please take pleasure in welcoming this era in which You can be liberated from imprisonment, and in this state of liberation embrace Your loving cosmos, through the establishment of the Sabbath foundation of the eras of the right of kingship in the family, nation, world and cosmos, which has been Your long-cherished desire. We are aware of how much You grieved over not being able to help this son of Yours in his work, since all that You could do was shed tears and watch over his path. We beseech You with all of our hearts to bestow on us Your blessings, that You may achieve total, overriding, supreme and full authority as You have desired, and with the whole world under Your dominion we may march forward into Your liberated kingdom

The Internal Meaning of Sin and the Fall

Section 5. Grief Caused Over the Fall and God’s Heart in the Process of Restoration

5.2. Conditions for Satan’s accusations

Summary:
The Fall occurred because Adam and Eve lacked a deep, heartfelt connection with God 💔, causing them to betray His loving intentions and inherit a corrupt spiritual lineage from Satan. Because all human beings were born into this fallen bloodline, God cannot simply destroy Satan or humanity without destroying the entire human race 🩸. Furthermore, Satan continues to accuse God by demanding the complete, ideal love He was originally promised as an archangel ⚖️. Consequently, God has endured deep sorrow and confinement throughout history, waiting for humanity to understand His heart and help fulfill the original ideal of true love 🕊️.
