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.

In the eyes of the wife, her husband has to look the best and be number one. Also, in the eyes of the husband, his wife has to look this way as well. The best relationship is the one that is formed during first love. It is the best, no matter what others say. This cannot be bought at any price. If you can have such a world for eternity, how splendid this is! Everyone should at least reach that level. The wife should follow and serve her husband well. Such things should not appear just in literature or just as a movie scene. Rather, you should live like that throughout your whole life. Since the best history and best culture had been turned upside down, I have been creating a new history in order to establish such a world and to live in such a way. (23-56, 1969.5.11)

When everyone is mobilized in the spirit world, many good things will happen on earth. There will be many occasions to embrace one another. There will be people rejoicing, and those who had run away cursing the Unification Church will strike the earth in regret saying, “How can this be possible.” (302-71, 1999.5.18)

Jesus came as the substantial, actual tabernacle and temple. When the Jewish people rejected him, and then even his disciples fell into unbelief, Jesus had no choice but submit his body to crucifixion. As a consequence of this, the Jewish people lost their object of faith, both spiritually and physically, and the third world-level course for the
restoration of Canaan could not begin as a substantial course. As the second Israel, Christian believers re-established the resurrected Jesus as their object of faith, and thus came to begin the third world-level course as a spiritual course.
The providence for the restoration of Canaan was accomplished, but only spiritually.

Jesus Rebuked Satan in the Wilderness

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2345

    In the position of sons and daughters that attained oneness in the bosom of the Cosmic Parent and the Parents of heaven and earth, those in the spirit world, beginning from the liberated hell and paradise and from all directions, are able to go directly to Your throne. I am very grateful for Your allowing me to hold the Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families of the Peace and Unity of the Cosmic True Parent and the True Parents of Heaven and Earth that will enable You and the True Parents to attain oneness of mind and body in the position of the original substantial form, and cross over the line to start for the ideal heavenly world of the family, so that they can exist in the position of all-transcendence, all-immanence, supreme authority and omnipotence.
    I pray that from today the powers of evil will retreat and the powers of goodness will advance and, by assuming overall command and leadership, strive to establish the new heavenly civilization, so that the glory and grace of heaven will fill the entire cosmos and all Blessed Families worldwide will inherit the sovereignty of the love and liberation of the physical and spirit worlds, and thereby become worthy to be the registered Blessed Families of the Nation of Cosmic Peace and Unity.
    On this day and in this place where the Cosmic Parent and the Parents of Heaven and Earth have attained oneness of mind and body, I declare and direct that everyone will strive to achieve the age of sovereignty of the one ideal, of the unified world of Cheon Il Guk based on the liberation of heaven. I pray that You will let us achieve everything in accordance with our desires. I report this in the name of the True Parents. Amen! Amen! Amen! (404-288, 2003.2.6)

How difficult this it is to restore the rights of the firstborn son! Because of this, everybody suffered incredible hardships. Countless religious people were sacrificed, Christianity underwent dreadful persecution under the Roman Empire for four hundred years, and much blood was shed in order to get out of the domain of the satanic world. Have you ever been to Rome and been inside the catacombs? The early Christians created altars, buried the bodies of their ancestors under the altars, and continued to live there, inhaling those odors. They did so because God had told them to do so, otherwise who would have done such a thing? By normal standards, this would not be done by human beings. Imagine how much God suffered! You have no idea of the efforts that have been made in history. You need to be aware of these things. (140-203, 1986.2.9)

The Principle of Restoration

The Worldwide Course for the Restoration of Canaan Centering on Jesus

In the second world-level course for the restoration of Canaan, the central figure for the foundation of faith was Jesus himself, in the place of John the Baptist, who had failed his mission. Jesus fasted for 40 days and had to overcome the three temptations. By overcoming the three temptations, Jesus restored all the conditions that had been set in any providential course for establishing the foundation of faith, as well as establishing a condition that would allow him to fulfill the three blessings.
The Jewish leadership was to unite with Jesus, and they did not. Furthermore, even one of his own disciples, Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus. Therefore, the second world-level course to restore Canaan ended in failure.
