    Didn’t hell come into existence after the Fall? In contrast, heaven is the world of love which everyone in both the spiritual and physical worlds can enter after passing through the True Parents’ gates of love. Had Adam and Eve not fallen, but instead entered heaven through establishing true parental love, they would have become the model for all subsequent families in the world. Heaven will be opened when the first exemplary family can enter.
    All the families that have linked themselves to the love of this royal family of heaven and inheriting their tradition will be like branches pointing north, south, east and west as they grow from that central trunk. Thus, they can enter heaven by the same principle that is the basis of a unified world. You need to understand this clearly. (231-76, 1992.5.31)

You should all love Korea. God’s purpose in raising Korea should be fulfilled and Korea should become our homeland. In the future, the entire Korean peninsula should become a holy ground.  Shouldn’t we recover the Liaotung peninsula in Manchuria that used to be Korean territory? The people of Israel sold Jesus and then recovered their nation. Then do you believe that I, who live with the title of returning Lord, would not be able to recover our native land? Even if the Soviet Union were to obstruct my way, I would push right through it. I think we should enter negotiations to recover parts of our native land which belonged to us during the former Sung dynasty and which was taken away by the Soviet Union. (168-49, 1987.8.30)

The Second Advent

The nation where Christ returns must fulfill a 40-based condition of indemnity as a nation.  It also must be a nation that is an object of God’s heart.
Korea fulfilled this condition through the 40 years of persecution during the Imperial Japanese occupation from 1905 to 1945.
Korea is also the front line between God and Satan, being divided at the 38th parallel.
Korea is a nation that has been, in many ways, the object of God’s heart in its heartistic culture and language.

Considering that it is God’s desire for you to become exemplary families in this world of the enemy in accordance with His will, you should realize that you can only enter heaven as a family. (29-9, 1970.2.15)

    Why must you have sons and daughters? There surely has to be love. God has to exist, man and woman have to exist, and husband and wife have to exist. Next, the blood has to be mixed. The descendants are born with God’s blood and love blood, vertical blood and horizontal blood, mixed together. Therefore, unless you have descendants, you cannot have a place to play and rest in the other world.
    If husband and wife – just the two of them – live face to face till they turn eighty or ninety, will they be happy? They cannot live an interesting life. There has to be a daughter-in-law and grandchildren. For grandfathers and grandmothers, there is no greater happiness than holding their grandchildren.
    Those who could not have grandchildren cannot achieve harmony with heaven and earth and keep in step with north, south, east and west in the spirit world. (197-32, 1990.1.7)

    History has repeated itself through parallel historic periods, as we studied previously.  From the time of Abraham to Jesus was 1930 years, plus the 30 years until Jesus started his public ministry.   From the time of Jesus until the preparation time for the second advent is 1930 years, plus 30 years until the Holy Marriage Blessing of True Parents in 1960.  See slide 10 below.
    In these last days, the three great blessings have been restored on the world level.  In other words, we can see that this is the time when Christ returns on this earth.  In fact, that has already occurred.
    In the parable of the vineyard, Matt. 21:33-43, Jesus indicates that Christ will not return to the nation of Israel, as that blessing will be given to another nation.  Rev. 7:2 indicates that Christ will return in the East.  The only godly nation in the east, among Korea, China and Japan, is Korea.

You all have a hometown, don’t you? However, where could God’s original homeland be? If God had his original homeland, the clans of that original homeland would form there, and from the clans would come peoples, and from these peoples there would emerge nations and a world. Through this process, the heavenly kingdom on earth would be established. If God had a homeland on earth, would we want to go there or not? We would. People even want to go to their own hometowns where their humble parents and siblings are living. Then, wouldn’t you want to go to God’s original homeland? God’s original homeland is everyone’s homeland. Therefore, someone who says he does not want to go is not being truthful. (23-152, 1969.5.18)

    The family encompasses history, the present and the future. So what is the ultimate point that God has sought for six thousand years? It is the family – the family where love is interconnected and where all are united in love. Everything that exists comes under its dominion.
    We cannot cut our relationship with this absolute source of love. The establishment of such a family was the original mission that God gave Adam and Eve at the time of creation. God did not want them to merely end up as a man, Adam, and a woman, Eve, but instead dreamed of a new family where they would be united. This is the first starting point towards establishing men and women. Thus to be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven safely, you have to find a family and within the realm of that family in this world, enter and live in a place where you can feel satisfied in God’s love. Only then can you go beyond this world as well. (30-85, 1970.3.17)

The Second Advent

From the viewpoint of the Principle, Adam and Eve were created with both a physical and spiritual body, but they fell without realizing God’s ideal of creation.  Jesus came to restore fallen human beings, but his body was taken by Satan, while his spirit was resurrected.  Thus, at the Second Advent, Christ must come in the flesh to restore both body and spirit.  See slide 6 below.
    Rev. 1:7 talks about coming “with” the clouds.  Clouds here refers to the ‘cloud of witnesses’, or devout Christians whose hearts dwell in heaven
    Acts 1:11 states that Jesus “will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven”.  In other words, he will come in the flesh, just as Jesus did.
    Some Bible versus say that we cannot know the time when Jesus will return.  Yet, other versus indicate that we can know, if we are awake and wise.

If Adam and Eve had fulfilled their portion of responsibility their descendants would not have been burdened with the responsibility for restoration. They would have entered into an era of family ethics that would have been like sovereign law. True Parents would have been on earth on the same horizontal plane at that time and they would have been able to teach everyone instantly. However, until today, although God could move through 360 degrees on that same level plane, He could not teach us directly and we have been waiting for the emergence of a central figure. That is why difficulties arose. You must understand things like this clearly. (136-316, 1985.12.29)

    The final, ideal destination of the assimilation of all creation is the male and female organs. That is a fact. Why is that so? It is where the love of God, humankind and the universe combine. It is where love and life become one.
    It is also where descendants are connected vertically through lineage, and through this vertical connection, countless peoples are connected horizontally. This is how God’s Kingdom on earth is established. That’s how valuable the sexual organs are. How important they are! (269-129, 1995.4.9)

The Second Advent

    How will Christ return?  Jesus will return again in the flesh.  He will not come on the literal clouds in the sky.  Rather, just like the prophet Elijah, who returned int he person of John the Baptist (Mt. 11:14), Jesus will return as a man born on earth. 
    Multiple Bible verses support this viewpoint, such as Mt. 7: 21-23, where Jesus rebukes those who said ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name?’.  How could this be if Jesus were to return literally on the clouds in the sky?  No one would doubt who he is.
