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)

Original Substance of the Divine Principle

The Principle of Restoration

The Worldwide Course for the Restoration of Canaan Centering on Jesus

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.

    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)

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.

John the Baptist Failed His Mission

What is it that the True Parents are supposed to do? They have to completely open up the blocked way between the spirit world and physical world and lay a highway, a highway from hell, from Danbury, from the hell of the spirit world to heaven! (134-127, 1985.2.25)

Try conveying the Word till after midnight and until you hear the crow of the first rooster. How mysterious it is! Try conveying the Word as you listen to the barking of dogs in the neighborhood in the quiet, tranquil night. You will feel as if you have broken through on a new path of life in search of the bright sunlight; you will feel like the captain of a ship who determines anew to find the lighthouse. You will experience a sense of valor, pride, and majesty as if you were alone in this world filled entirely with mysteries of all kinds.
In order to have that bond of heart, you should give guidance during the nighttime. It is necessary to conduct such activities during the night or at dawn. (29-196, 1970.2.28)

Jesus was the second Adam and had to walk the course to bring Satan to submission, following the course set out by Jacob and Moses.
To establish a relationship with the Messiah, human beings must first establish the
Foundation for the Messiah. If there is no Foundation for the Messiah, fallen people will kill the Messiah when he comes.
The Jewish people believed in John the Baptist, who was in the position of Elijah. But John had doubts about Jesus (Mt. 11:3). Therefore the first world-level course for the restoration of Canaan failed.

Why do men exist? Men often say they are not interested in such issues because they can usually live alone, but men are born for the sake of women. Without women, men have no reason to be here. There is nothing that has come into being for its own sake. (285-220, 1997.5.19)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1188

As viewed from God’s original ideal of creation, the eldest son should come from God’s side and, of course, the second son should also come from God’s side. Due to the Fall, the position of the first son was taken by Satan, and the position of the second son went to God. This has to be made right. Thus, when we consider the story of Esau and Jacob in the Bible, Jacob united with his mother and received her help. He gave Esau the pottage of lentils and bread in exchange for the birthright of the firstborn son. Until today, we could not understand why Bible history is the way it is. With the appearance of the Unification Church, its meaning was clarified for the first time. (134-304, 1985.8.16)

The Advent of the Messiah and the Purpose of His Second Coming

Many people think that John the Baptist was a great providential figure. However, we need to look again at the role of John the Baptist. Did he not testify to Jesus as the Messiah at the Jordan River? Then why did John not follow and assist Jesus, but rather said ‘he must increase and I must decrease’?

How should a wife relate to her husband? She should hold his hand and say, “I now know that you and I are twin brother and sister born together, so we can never be separated.” When Adam and Eve were chased out of the Garden of Eden, they were separated from God, shedding tears of sorrow, but now in the age of restoration, we must shed tears of the opposite kind. Through the process of our lives, we must indemnify the fact of our not having been sons and daughters of God’s Kingdom. (238- 254, 1992.11.22)

You should realize that I, who discovered the world of God’s heart, am not a fraud. All the things you hear from me cannot be found any place in this world. My teachings cannot be found in any library book either here on earth or in the spirit world. It is the first time, the very first occasion that these truths have been known! These are the new words of truth. They cannot be found anywhere else on earth or in the spirit world. They were locked away in the treasure storehouse and could not be taken out before, by God or any person in the spirit world or on earth. (303-59, 1999.7.4)

The Advent of the Messiah and the Purpose of His Second Coming

The Bible contains prophecies that predict both the Lord of suffering (Is 53) and the Lord of glory (Is 9,11,60) This is because the human portion of responsibility is always involved in any providential outcome. Jesus did not come in order to die on the cross. Rather, his death on the cross was a result of the unbelief of the Jewish people and the faithlessness of his disciples.
