You Must be Struck and Still Survive

And manage to subjugate those who strike you, [or] restoration will not begin.

    What is the Unification Church? Where is it heading, with the right and left wings in its arms? It is guiding us to pass through this world of struggle and strife and enter a world of happiness, that of utopia, and to follow the path shown by God. This path is not a level one. What that means is that the Unification Church should not be equipped only with a logical system that can take responsibility for all the failures and wreckage caused by various ideological systems. At the same time, the Unification Church should also be able to take all these failures into its arms and strive for a transcendent form of existence, based on a spiritual awareness that can move them vertically, centering on religion.
    You need to understand that the Unification Church should have the capacity to systematically theorize humanistic ideologies such as humanism and materialism, as well as all the theisms of the past until now, and integrate all these ideologies into one. At the same time, its members should embody the one theology which incorporates spiritual reality and experience and can connect all religions transcending denomination from the vertical perspective. (162-102, 1987.3.30)

Richard:  Right now, with different people talking about WW III, we should rather focus on this unifying teaching and see what God’s ideal is and how left and right, Jews, Christians, Muslims and all religions can be harmonized centered on God.  
The necessary thought and teaching is already here.  Will we listen?

    Essentially, what have we been trying to do during the Old Testament, New Testament, and Completed Testament Ages? We have been trying to bring God inside us. Who is the root? God is. God is the root of humankind. Originally, True Parents were not the root. True Parents also came from God, who is the root. Before Adam and Eve fell, they were in the position of God’s son and daughter. But after their Fall, all things of creation came to be in a higher position than Adam and Eve. This happened because Adam and Eve fell. Through the Fall, they sunk lower than all things. Since all things became higher than people, they have given their lives for humankind. They have shed blood in our place and through this, have worked to reverse the positions. This is why, in the Old Testament Age, offerings were sacrificed to pave the pathway for the sons and daughters to travel on.
    In the New Testament Age, Jesus came and sacrificed himself as a child to pave the way for Parents. Through martyrs shedding a great quantity of blood, Christians paved the road for the coming of the Parents in the age of the Second Coming.
    What is the relationship between Jesus and True Parents? Jesus is in the position of the Son, while True Parents are in the position of the Parents. I have said that Buddha is my disciple, Jesus is my disciple and Confucius is my disciple. Spiritual people can know everything if they pray. Wait and see. The Unification Church will be the center of religious unification in the end, correcting the standard for presidents, prime ministers, and all the proud politicians of the nations. This is my work, to accomplish this not by force, but by natural submission. (211-312, 1991.1.1

Summary:
The overall goal across the Old, New, and Completed Testament Ages has been to bring God—the true root of humankind—inside us 🌳. Because Adam and Eve fell lower than the creation, countless offerings and sacrifices (including Jesus and Christian martyrs) were made throughout history to reverse these positions and pave the way for the arrival of the True Parents ✨.

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)

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 ✨.

What is the most difficult thing for human beings? Satan has three main gates, and the first gate is eating. This wretched mouth eats and eats and eats, and still demands better food. It keeps doing this. The second gate is resting. If you just sleep, you always want to rest. Isn’t that so? You don’t want to work. What is the third gate? Lust. People have a tendency to be unfaithful to their spouses. If there are people in the Unification Church who cheat on their spouses and have love affairs with others, they deserve the judgment of fire. Such a time may come. It has not happened because I have not commanded it. Didn’t God drive Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden? There was no way to deal with those reprobates. There were only two of them, so there was no way to deal with it. But now, it is different. There are many such people. I do not want to see such things happening in my time. That is why I am saying this is serious. (199-107, 1990.2.16)

    That is how the Divine Principle of the Unification Church is: At the time of the 777 Couples Blessing, most of the American participants had master degrees, yet they packed their bags, left their nation and flew thousands of miles to receive the Blessing here in Korea. The round-trip airfare for one person to fly to Korea from the United States is about 2,000 dollars. So it would be 4,000 dollars per couple. That would be about 1.3 million Korean won. Why then would these people spend so much money just to be married here in Korea? The answer is simply that it would be of far greater value for them to be married here rather than back home in the United States. It was far better.
    Since it was dozens of times better for them to spend that money and come here, they came, even though they were told not to. People would not do anything that would cause them to incur a loss. This phenomenon was possible absolutely only by the power of the Divine Principle. For these people, nothing else would have worked. (39-273, 1971.1.15)

Adam’s Family

God works to separate good from evil. Therefore, Adam was separated into the relatively good and evil parts of Abel and Cain, respectively. Cain, the elder, represented Adam’s first love relationship, and Abel his second. That is why God accepted Abel’s offering and rejected Cain’s.
For his offering to be accepted, Cain had to Love, Mediate through, Obey and multiply goodness. See slides 6 to 9 below:

This is an important final hurdle. I have prayed throughout my life that we would win over the tong and ban centering on districts and township. Only by doing so, can we take complete hold of the satanic world. We are not trying to take over something large, such as the central government building in Seoul or any other city. We are trying to influence the tong and ban, centering on the districts and then assimilate the tong and ban centered on the townships. Then everything else will be included. From the VIPs down to the most simple people, transcending class, everyone is included through the local level activities. Therefore, the district and regional church leaders should not focus on the provinces but in the leaders of the tong and ban. Centering on the district, the stage for your activities is the tong and ban. (167-10, 1987.6.14)

It is only after we go beyond the realm of the Fall and restore the rights of both the first and second born sons on God’s side, that we can stand in the original world for the first time. This is the original ideal of creation. As God is absolute, His ideal has also remained absolute. To regain the original ideal, we must undergo a historical course of restoration through indemnity in order to go beyond the fallen realm. (134-304, 1985.8.16)

Original Substance of the Divine Principle

The Principle of Restoration

Introduction

Paying indemnity means to reverse what was done wrong. Israel did not believe in Jesus. Now we must believe in Jesus and take up the cross. Adam betrayed God and caused God grief; now we must comfort God.
Establishing the Foundation of Faith means to believe in and practice God’s word. Establishing the Foundation of Substance means for people, in the position of Cain or Abel, to reverse the four fallen natures.
We accomplish both these tasks to set our own Foundation for the Messiah See slides 12 to 15 below:

God Has Absolute Respect for the Human Portion of Responsibility

There is a gate in your mind and it is called the mind’s gate. It does not open in just one direction. Since your mind rotates, the gate moves as well. Without going through such a gate, you as a minus cannot establish a relationship with the plus. Everyone has that kind of mind’s gate. When you pray, you get a different feeling depending on the time of your prayer. Prayer at one o’clock is different from prayer at three o’clock. You will understand this when you experience it. If you pray in a deep and mysterious state, you will know that your prayer will be different depending on when you pray. It will feel different. What you feel in the morning, at noon, in the early evening, and at night are all different.

Because God is at the center of the family, this world should be His Kingdom. The Blessed Families should strive to lead a life that works toward building His Kingdom. A God-centered tribe, nation and world are established when we live for the sake of others on His behalf, so Blessed Families should be responsible for creating a God-centered world. The Unification Church centered upon the True Parents is like a tribe and race. The purpose of our church is to form a heavenly nation composed of five races in unity, which can live more for the sake of the world than anyone else. This is my purpose and it is God’s purpose that He desires to accomplish through me. (Blessed Family – 947)

1.3 THE FOUNDATION FOR THE MESSIAH IN ADAM’S FAMILY

The foundation for the Messiah is established by first restoring through indemnity the foundation of faith and then establishing the foundation of substance. With regard to their requisite sacrifices, the foundation of faith is restored by making an acceptable symbolic offering, and the foundation of substance is established by making an acceptable substantial offering.

One purpose for making the symbolic offering of all things is to enable all things to stand as God’s actual object partners in symbol. It fulfills an indemnity condition for the restoration of the natural world to its original relationship with God. The second purpose for making the symbolic offering is thus to fulfill an indemnity condition for the symbolic restoration of human beings.

The substantial offering means fulfilling the indemnity condition to remove the fallen nature. This is essential for the actual restoration of human beings. The substantial offering is carried out when a person in Cain’s position honors the person in Abel’s position and sets him above himself as an offering. Through this, they fulfill the indemnity condition to be restored as good children. At the same time, it is also reckoned as the indemnity condition for the restoration of their parents. In this manner, the substantial offering can meet God’s expectation.

When Abel made his sacrifice in a manner acceptable to God, he fulfilled the indemnity condition to restore Adam’s foundation of faith and firmly secured his position as the central figure of the substantial offering. However, when Cain murdered Abel, they re-enacted the Fall, in which the Archangel murdered Eve spiritually. Needless to say, they did not fulfill the indemnity condition to remove the fallen nature and failed to make the substantial offering. Hence, neither the foundation of substance nor the foundation for the Messiah could be established. God’s providence of restoration in Adam’s family came to naught.

1.4 SOME LESSONS FROM ADAM’S FAMILY

The failure of God’s providence of restoration in Adam’s family teaches us something about God’s conditional predestination of the accomplishment of His Will and His absolute respect for the human portion of responsibility.

Second, even after Cain killed Abel, God began a new chapter of His providence by raising Seth in Abel’s place. This shows us that God has absolutely predestined that His Will shall one day be fulfilled, even though His predestination concerning individual human beings is conditional.

Third, through the offerings of Cain and Abel, God teaches us that fallen people must constantly seek for an Abel-type person. By honoring, obeying and following him, we can accomplish God’s Will even without understanding every aspect of it
