The topic of our conversation moved on to the wedding of the 30,000 Couples and I asked, “Elder Brother Il-sung, would you be willing to open the thirty-eighth parallel if I were to bring the 30,000 Couples to North Korea?” He answered, “Of course, of course! Wow, that is splendid!” He actually invited me to bring the 30,000 Couples to North Korea. So I replied, “But there aren’t any hotels here.” He then told me, “The Songdo Beach Resort is very famous worldwide and hundreds of thousands of people can be accommodated in the pine fields there. So if you brought one tent for every ten people, you wouldn’t have any problem.” What he said was true. He said we should bring our own food as well and that he would open the port of Wonsan for us, so that we could bring all we needed by boat. (239-42, 1992.11.23)

Starting from the idea that religious and world unity must come from myself, the question of what the Unification Church is trying to do today comes to the forefront. It is not a religion just for the sake of religion. It should achieve solidarity with the world, finding ways that religious activity can be accompanied by social activity; it should find ways the world is seeking the religious path and bring the two into oneness. A big wall lies across here blocking religion and society from becoming one – for individuals, families, peoples, nations, the world, and even the cosmos.
Where do we start from to demolish this wall? Where did the trouble start? Not from the end of the world, but from the individual. Because individuals got out of order, mind and body came apart and pursued their own separate purposes in different directions. What is the issue here? It is how to merge, weave, combine, and melt different purposes into one, and then how to reintegrate mind and body.

The Principle of Restoration

The Eras in Providential History and the Formation of Their Lengths

    Central figures who are responsible to restore the Foudation of Faith must pass through numerical indemnity perioids. Numbers, including 3, 4, and 12 were to be fulfilled as Adam and Eve passed through their growing period. These same numbers must be restored by subsequent providential figures, such as Noah’s 120 years building the ark. Numerical periods of time must also be fulfilled before God calls specific central figures, such as Noah, Abraham and those central figures following.
    As mentioned in yesterday’s study, we see parallel periods of time playing out in subsequent generations due to the necessity of these providential time periods being restored through the responsible actions of the central figures.
   Therefore, we see a remarkable parallel between the time periods from Abraham to Jesus and from Jesus to today, the time of the Second Coming of Christ. These time periods are also parallel in symbolic form to the time periods from Adam to the time Jacob met Joseph in Egypt.
    The first parallel periods are the Period of Slaver in Egypt of 400 years and the Period of persecution under Rome of 400 years.

    If you go to heaven now, you will not see God. It is necessary that God enter the minds of the True Parents after they have accomplished everything and gone to the next world. When this happens, He will take on a body and we will enter an age when He will be able to move and rule over everything in the universe. In other words, He will take on a holy external form.
    When all this has been completed – the accomplishment of His kingdom in heaven and on earth – He will take on an external form. This is possible centering on love. If love becomes physically one in Adam’s family, God too, can have a combined internal nature and external form so He can take on a body. This cannot be done without love. This is where the term “one body” comes from.
    The spirit world is a place governed by true love – that is, absolute love. Everything is linked to true love. True love is the seed. Seeds unrelated with the Fall are linked together and fill all of heaven and earth. The world today came about as a result of the Fall, so it must disappear. We must do away with the lineage of the fallen world and link ourselves to God’s original lineage. How do we create such a world? Blessed marriage is the way. The Blessing is the means of engrafting ourselves onto God’s lineage. (294-316, 1998.8.9)

All parents come from Adam and Eve. All forefathers of humankind come from them. The true husbands and wives of humanity originate in Adam and Eve. Through Adam and Eve, sons and daughters were born for the first time. Moreover, the parent-child relationship of God with His sons and daughters also began from Adam and Eve. (188-214, 1989.2.26)

The course of history in an earlier era is repeated in a similar form by later eras. These parallel eras occur due to the necessity for humans to fulfill their portion of responsibility for God’s providence to be fulfilled. The overall purpose in the providence of restoration is to fulfill the foundation for the Messiah, which includes the foundation of faith and the foundation of substance. These providential eras were fulfilled on the family, national and world levels over the course of the providence

Jesus Restored Adam’s Betrayal of God

Parents exist for their children. If parents existed for their own sake, there would not have been the word parents. In the future, a view of ethics should be formed centering on the Principle of the Unification Church. Parents should live for the sake of their children. This is the first and foremost rule of ethics. It is self-explanatory. The position in which parents sacrifice for the sake of their children is not the place of misery, but the place of happiness. (62-214, 1972.9.25)

Presbyterianism teaches that God became the judge of righteousness, predestines people’s fate, and then saves them. Does that make any sense at all? It is utterly misleading. I have found that God is not like that. If God had predestined people to go to heaven and hell from their birth, what kind of God of goodness is that? It would not make sense logically. It has to fit logic to become common sense. There is no truth that goes against common sense.

Original Substance of the Divine Principle

The Principle of Restoration

The Worldwide Course for the Restoration of Canaan Centering on Jesus

We should learn the following from the course of Jesus:

God’s predestination of His Will is absolute; His
predestination of human beings is relative.
The greater a person’s mission, the greater the test he
will confront.
i. Adam betrayed God – Jesus was abandoned by God to restore this
through indemnity.
ii. Restoration through indemnity was achieved when Jesus dealt with
being abandoned by God (the temptation in the wilderness, the passion
of the cross).
Jesus loved and died for God and God’s will, even while
on the Cross.
Everything is Decided in an Instant.
The Relationship between each instant and our entire life. The sum of what we do in each moment and each day becomes the totality of our lives.

Jesus’ Path Has to Be Completed Now

New! #136–Dump Google The Richard Urban Show

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2461

Up to this very day, the Unification Church has been walking the path of history, the history of the age of indemnity. And the purpose for us having walked this path of the history of indemnity has been to restore the right of the eldest son, the new right of the parent, the new right of kingship, and the new realm of the royal family. Centering on what? Not centering on today’s human-centric world, but rather centering on God. These realms are not to be restored centering on any existing kingship, or on any existing family. No, we are talking about the right of the eldest son centering on God, the realm of the True Parents centering on God, the right of kingship, centering on God, and the realm of the royal family, centering on God. This has been the hope that humankind has longed for, all the time up until the present day. (230- 171, 1992.5.3)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 925

Humankind as a whole must wake up. The teaching of the founder of the Unification Church is the truth that will save the world. It is the word of true love and life that the whole of humanity needs for eternity. When the returning Lord comes to save the world, he should not judge humankind with his rod of iron. By hitting people, he would not be able to bring even one person to complete submission.

    The secular authorities of the Roman Empire did not want to crucify Jesus. Rather, the Jewish people insisted that Jesus’ blood would be on their own hands (Mt. 27:20-26).
Jesus carried the cross, forgave the people while on the cross and died on the cross.The resurrected Jesus appeared spiritually to his disciples. The holy spirit descended at the Pentecost.
    Jesus original mission was to receive the Holy Wedding Blessing and to become the True Parent, then bless all humankind (remove their original sin). Then he would Restore and establish God’s homeland and People.
    Jesus experienced the deep unrequited agony filled with blood, tears
and sweat of having to die on the cross without completing his original
mission.
    The path Jesus was not able to complete with his bride still has to be completed at the Second Coming centered on True Parents. We are to receive the Blessing, learn about absolute sexual ethics and share this knowledge and blessing with our family and neighbors.

Jesus Prayed a Life or Death Prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane

Cheon Seong Gyeong 403

Death denotes a second birth at the end of our physical life. The place where we have that second birth – the place where we go after death – is the spirit world. We enter that world and receive from God, who is the third Parent, a supply of true love, which represents the entire universe. The spirit world is a world where we breathe love and live in love. Therefore, if you fail to develop a character of complete true love, your path to travel freely will be restricted, and you will not be able to pass through all four directions. Even if you happen to pass through a gate, you will not be able to go any further. If you want to be qualified to live in rhythm with the four seasons regardless of time and place, you must develop a character of loving completely during your earthly life. (298-311, 1999.1.17)

I have undergone hardships throughout my life, but I never intended to indemnify history so that I could obtain a high position with many luxuries. I gave up the blessings that I could have enjoyed. I want to suffer together with you and rise to the high position where I can be respected by the whole nation together with you. You must know that my hope is to see the day of joy when this nation is liberated. (181-66, 1988.8.28)

The Principle of Restoration

The Worldwide Course for the Restoration of Canaan Centering on Jesus

    The third world-level course for the restoration of Canaan was begun as a spiritual course. After 2000 years, it has formed the worldwide spiritual foundation that exists today. The new John the Baptist type figure at the Second Coming of Christ is the central figure for the foundation of faith and the foundation of substance.
    That means that we have to love, mediate through, obey and multiply goodness through this person. Especially the first and second Israel, Jews and Christians are to unite with Christ at the Second Coming.
    Unfortunately, as a whole, Christianity did not unite withe the Second Coming of Christ. However, Unificationists did, and victories were also won at the national and world level, centering of the nation of Korea (South Korea).
    Jesus Christ is the Messiah, and was born on the foundation of restoration of the lineage. Yet, Zachariah’s family and Joseph’s family failed to believe in Jesus. If we read the Bible with an open mind, we will find these instances.
    In Matthew 12:48 when Jesus’ mother and brothers were looking for him, he said “But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?” Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers. For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
    Finally, the three disciples slept while Jesus offered a life and death prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.
