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)

Original Substance of the Divine Principle

The Principle of Restoration

The Worldwide Course for the Restoration of Canaan Centering on Jesus

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)

Original Substance of the Divine Principle

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)

Original Substance of the Divine Principle

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.

Jesus Did Not Come to Die

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1735

    Who on earth is God? He is the Creator and the vertical Parent of true love. In other words, He is the vertical Parent based on true love. Perfected Adam and Eve are the horizontal parents based on true love. These two sets of parents are to unite. Vertical and horizontal are to unite at the place where Adam and Eve make love. That place is the original palace of love, life and lineage. It is the male and female organs.
    In such a manner, God Himself will give birth to His sons and daughters. They are indeed His children. You were all born of two sets of parents, and the conscience is in the reciprocal position to the vertical Parent. In view of this, the conscience is the vertical “you” and the body the horizontal “you.” How do vertical and horizontal unite? If they were to unite through true parental love, the Creator’s true love, body and mind would never conflict but rather would harmonize completely. (250-38, 1993.10.11)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1002

You should prepare a prayer room in which you place my picture, and bow before it a thousand, even ten thousand times. In the past, the spiritual groups, such as that of Heo Ho-Bin, who were preparing to receive the Messiah, bowed three thousand times each day. You should try this. When they were making clothes, they sewed each garment by hand, one by one. They believed that doing it on sewing machine showed disrespect. Even with such great devotion, it was still not enough. (179-77, 1988.7.22)

Original Substance of the Divine Principle

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

The Messiah came and comes again to fulfill the purpose of creation to create the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven.  Since Jesus was crucified, salvation could not be completed, as original sin was not eradicated, and the bodies of believers still are tormented by Satan.Jesus said in John 6:29 that the people should believe in him. Jesus’ death on the cross was not a pre-determined outcome.

Section 2. The Family Is the Basic Unit of Heaven
2.1. Family is the cornerstone of God’s Kingdom on earth and in heaven

Heaven must be established from the family. Since Jesus couldn’t form a family, he could not enter heaven, but instead is in paradise. Paradise is like the waiting room you have to pass through before entering heaven. Hell came into existence because of the Fall. God did not create it from the beginning. (21-199, 1968.11.20)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1279

The Holy Wedding Blessing Ceremony is not simply a wedding through which a man and woman come together and form a family. Until now, all weddings were centered on the people getting married, but our wedding ceremony is a significant condition necessary to indemnify history. Therefore, in returning joy to God, we conduct the ceremony solemnly and splendidly. The Divine Principle clearly explains to us that our wedding ceremonies alleviate the grief of God caused by the Fall of Adam and Eve, and establish the true standard of husband and wife, which Jesus was not able to achieve. (22-212, 1969.2.4)

Humility

  1. Blessed are the Meek

Teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon

God’s love dwells upon the foundations of meekness, humility, fasting, sacrifice and even martyrdom. (282:227, March 26, 1997)

The higher the religion, the less it stresses the self and the more it stresses meekness, humility, and one step further, sacrifice and service. Why must it do that? Those are the laws of the original homeland. People are like wanderers searching for their original homeland. To train people in the laws of that homeland, the higher religions teach the way of sacrifice. (77:190, April 6, 1995) Continue reading “Satan’s Basic Nature is Arrogance and Wrath”
