Adam and Eve Married Outside of God’s Blessing

When God cast them out, did He instruct them to marry and have sons and daughters or did He not say such a thing?

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1453

Even when I was lying down, I always had thoughts of God’s homeland in mind. Since this house is not located in the nation of God, I have no particular affection for it. I am only attached to this place, having children and leading my life here, because I do not have any other choice.
How much would God and the spirits in the other world yearn for the unification of the homeland! How much would they yearn for it! Wouldn’t they hope in their hearts, “Even though I am in hell, even though I am at the lowest level of the spirit world, I wish our homeland will be established soon…”? Only when the homeland is manifested on earth would they receive liberation. Therefore, if so, they should be granted an amnesty. Such is the work I carried out during my imprisonment. I had the gates opened wide. I made a highway both in the spiritual and physical worlds. I am hoping and praying, “The whole spirit world should face in the same direction True Parents are going, and march forward towards the one nation of God!”
The spirit world is praying for the physical world, encouraging True Parents in their work. You must know this. Isn’t that what God desires? “True Parents on earth, please fight well and be victorious, and relieve the spirit world of its grief and lamentation!” You should be ashamed of the fact that you were neither born nor raised in the nation of God, but instead have lived to your current age in the satanic world. (164-218, 1987.5.16)

Originally, when God as the Parent created Adam and Eve, He reaped the benefit of having children. At the same time, He enabled the children to benefit by having parents. God’s hope was to raise His children to perfection. Had this happened, it would be possible to say that God would have harvested both Adam and Eve.
Then, why do we need parents and why do we need children? God is spiritual and human beings are physical. The parent-child relationship is also like this. The invisible God bears fruit through the visible child and then enters into the heart of the child to reveal His value as the visible God.
The invisible God bears fruit within the child’s heart and the fruit of the child is then produced. It is possible to transfer the fruit of the father to the child. And thus, for God, both His fruit and the parent’s fruit are produced. They have equal value.
Then, why are parents and children needed? Even though God possesses love, He needs a partner to share His love. We as children also need a partner to share our love. This partner relationship between parents and children is like the relationship of heaven and earth. It is a vertical relationship.
This world is made up of two spheres, one is a world of spirit and the other is the physical world. Since we are born as sons and daughters of the invisible God, God and we are at relational poles. We are born at one pole and grow up. As we grow up, we long to find the invisible God. Finally we become bride and bridegroom and we become one in love that unites the upper spiritual hemisphere and the lower physical hemisphere.
The parental heart is the heart of Heaven. We need parents to take over the heavenly nation and parents want children’s love in order to occupy the earth. When do we come to know this heavenly heart? We cannot understand it as children. We have to be parents to know the parental heavenly heart.

The Internal Meaning of Sin and the Fall

Section 1. The Fall Means the Father’s Place was Taken by Another

1.1. Satan, the devil, is our father

Summary:
The story of the Garden of Eden is a symbolic metaphor.,  The “tree of life” and the “tree of knowledge of good and evil” represent the male and female sexual organs rather than physical trees. Adam and Eve’s original sin involved a misuse of these sexual organs, which is why they covered their lower bodies out of shame after falling rather than their hands or mouths. Finally, the passage notes that God expelled Adam and Eve from Eden before they had any children , meaning their offspring were born outside of God’s direct realm after they married at their own discretion.

We Marry to Love God

What can you achieve after loving Him? You become one with His axis.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1742

Why get married? To love God. What can you achieve after loving Him? You become one with His axis. What are we trying to achieve by becoming one with God? What happens when we become one with Him? Why should we become one with Him? Centering on the eternal love of the absolute God, eternal life can be achieved. This is not all. You must know that starting at the point where contact is made, the right to inherit the universe is bestowed. The world created by God centering on love belongs to Him, but it can become ours through the right of inheritance. (136-39, 1985.12.20)

The Blessings up to the 124 Couples were within the Seven-Year Course. As we now have 120 Couples based upon the realm of the new Israel, a foundation is established upon which the 120 nations of the world could be restored. Consequently, the restoration of all significant numbers, which Jesus attempted through his family, was accomplished globally through the 120 Couples Blessing. (54-293, 1972.3.26)

    In order to become a person of character, systematic training is required. You must experience group activities in the church. In other words, the question is whether or not you can go through a holistic ideology or system. The church should be that gate. (9-8, 1960.3.13) Continue reading “We Marry to Love God”

Humankind Went into Hell by Entering into False Marriage

True Parents must marry people and straighten this out.

    Considering that the source of the dual characteristics is God, we should simultaneously sing praises for the noble value of God and for the dignity and value of men and women. (Blessed Family – 334)

    If you want to receive a doctorate degree, you have to go to your supervising professor and even wash his rear end for him. If he kicks you in the seat of the pants, you have to say: “Oh, thank you very much.” Only then will you get his signature. Without doing so, he will not give you his signature. You might want to say: “I’m much better looking. I have a better nose, a better face and a better stature. If we were to wrestle, I would win. I can eat more than he can. I can beat him in any competition. I’m better than him in dozens, even hundreds of ways. Yet he thinks that he can withhold a doctorate from me just because I don’t know a few things!” None of this will do you any good, though. It may just be that I have the special authority to give this kind of signature to enable you to enter the spirit world. (134-17, 1985.1.1)

True Parents and the Spirit World

Section 3. True Parents and the Works of True Love

3.2. Equalization of the spiritual and physical worlds through the cosmic expansion of the true Blessing

    What comes after the cosmic expansion of the true Blessing? It is the rooting out of Satan’s lineage. It means severing the root. Since humankind went to hell by entering into false marriage, True Parents must marry people and straighten this out. In order to restore, through indemnity, the act of the archangel in the spirit world loving Eve on earth and bringing about the Fall, the family in the archangelic position in the spirit world comes to the earth to support the family in the position of Adam and Eve. Through this, these families will come to where your families are and initiate the movement to expel Satan. This is the Principle viewpoint. Only then can things be logically placed in neat order.

Each of You Resembles God

In the spirit world, you will find that those born as men, who lived alone and died single, are not in a good place.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1963

    It is good for a woman to be married into a family and be loved by them. But on the other hand, she must give birth to sons and daughters. She should resolve all the economic problems and issues of education within a household and establish a realm of heart. If the legacy that has come down from the ancestors for generations is not right, then it should be converted to the original realm of heart and taught accordingly. Do not forget that women representing the Eve nation of Japan have this mission. That is why extraordinary activities have been carried out centering on the Japanese women. There were such miserable situations in history, where women shed tears or were kicked by a man, or beaten by their parents. Now, the suffering must take place in the streets.
    In this way, there is no place of ease or repose for their internal realm. That is the situation even today. Are there not many women in Japan? That is why the Blessing this time will become an issue. So you must witness and bring three people each; at least one of them has to be a man who is older than you. (228-167, 1992.3.27)

    Not once has God or Jesus found someone whose flesh and spirit are united, whom God could totally love. That is why Jesus is still praying in paradise.
    Therefore, we should know the love of God, who seeks to fully embrace our spirit and flesh. Within such a realm, we must be able to govern all of creation, having justified ourselves as God’s children. You must understand that such a world is the world of dominion and the garden of rest God desires to restore. Going back to the issue of our individual selves, we, who are destined to go through restoration, must wander about seeking a new truth. That time has arrived. In the future, the issue of a true view of life and of the universe will come to the fore. (5- 49, 1958.12.14)

History can continue because there is reproduction. Consequently, man and woman should marry and give birth to children.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1759

A person whose nose tip is not in line with the center cannot be a conscientious person. You should know this as a matter of common sense. This must be in a straight line through the navel right down to the sexual organ. Men have hair on their chests, but women do not, do they? Do women have chest hair? Hair in men also grows in two parts, subject and object, which must become one. (248- 284, 1993.10.3)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 799

    This universe is a museum of love. Human beings must become the owners of this museum. The mineral world and plant world multiply centering on relationships of love. Without love, history would end. History can continue because there is reproduction. Consequently, man and woman should marry and give birth to children. Without doing so, they cannot find their place in the spirit world. When a baby is born, you should come before God and offer that baby as a gift to Him. Without this gift, you cannot hold your head up proudly.
    When you go back to your hometown, what is it you will be most proud of and want to show your parents? You will take pride in how well you raised your children. It is the same in the spirit world. When you go before God, there is no greater gift than bringing God’s children, the people of heaven, whom you have raised on this earth. Money, power, and knowledge are not important. (229- 15, 1992.4.9) Continue reading “Heavenly Law Cannot Condone the Devil’s Sphere of Activities”
