Why Is the History of Religion One of Tribulation?

In all of history, only Rev. Moon has been able to clearly expose the secrets entangled in the spirit world, the religious and mystical worlds that only Satan and God knew about.

    Christianity teaches people to love God, but this is a very vague concept. In the Bible Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. All you need are these two commandments. Before you love God you have to love the food you eat, love all things of creation, and love your body.
    Your first parents are the parents who gave birth to you. Your second parent is planet earth, this earth. The earth supplies you with all the essential elements for your physical growth. The earth is the second parent of your physical body. Through the second parent, you return to your third parent which means our physical death. However, you cannot go to the third parent as you are. In order to return to the third parent you have to resemble God, who is the original parent.
    Then, why do we marry? It is so that we resemble God. God is the uniformly combined being of dual characteristics. Since man and woman are the divided expression of God’s dual characteristics, they have to unite as one body, become like seeds and return to God’s position of original character. However, because we must go the way of love in order to be linked to that seed, we must be born in love, set love as our goal while growing, live centering on love, and walk this path in order to return to love. You will go off in the wrong direction unless you follow the path centering on the goal of living for the sake of others. (138-97, 1986.1.19)

    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)

Section 4. Restoration of Right of the Eldest Son, Right of the Parent and Right of Kingship

4.1. Restoration of the right of the eldest son

Summary:
Religious history is marked by tribulation because believers must overcome Satan’s foundational claim: that any true representative of God must prove their righteousness by actively loving the archangel who fell 🕊️. The passage explains that this requires an arduous, stage-by-stage ascent through the seven horizontal levels (from individual up to heaven and earth) and eight vertical levels (starting from the servant of servants) to fully restore the right of the unfallen firstborn son 👑. Ultimately, it emphasizes that loving one’s enemies is not just an individual command, but a historical and cosmic necessity—requiring believers to love enemy families, tribes, and nations—to strip Satan of his claims and reclaim the lost birthright ✨.

Satan Claims that God Must Love Him

Because You, the Father who follows the Principle, created me as the archangel, it was a fundamental rule that before falling, I would have been able to receive Your love.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1405

    Through this ceremony, the environmental conditions necessary for all humankind to be able to participate in the Blessing have been created, and all people connected to the mainstream ideal can now belong to You through attending it. This amazing and incredible miracle has been wrought, not just by the work of the Unification Church but also by the joint efforts of Yourself and the spirit world. Therefore, I hope and pray that You can forever hold the victorious dominion and sovereignty of eternal love and glory gained from this ceremony, and establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in the spirit world through the liberation achieved by this Blessing. All humankind connected to the 360 Million Couples can now unite in heart and strive to achieve the unity of mind and body, husband and wife, and within the tribe, race, nation, world, and cosmos. These couples have been established as the nucleus representing the True Parents on earth and the family in the garden of Your love. They have been blessed in order to complete the Kingdom of Heaven on earth with the sovereignty of the love central to the ideal of creation, which has been Your eternal dream.
    I stand before them on this occasion which You have long desired, and bless them to become Your children who from this moment can inherit Your will to build Your kingdom on earth and in heaven as true individuals by uniting mind and body, husband and wife, parents and children, and with their siblings in the blessed world. Please be with them and bless them as they march forward to the place of victory and glory. I pronounce my benediction upon the 360 million Couples in the name of the True Parents! Amen! Amen! Amen! (299-109, 1999.2.7)

    When God looks for a partner of absolute love, whom does He seek? We can conclude with certainty that He seeks a human being. Therefore we find the old proverb, “Amongst all creation, human beings are most precious.” What does this mean? We can reach the logical conclusion that humankind can be the partner of the Creator’s eternal love, and it is natural that the partner who is one with God’s love will live forever.
    Eternal life is a natural implication of this logic. Eternal life begins from here. The question of how to establish a rational argument for eternal life based on the relationship of love is an extremely precious one in religion. Eternal life cannot be found in only man or only woman. It cannot be found in God alone. We can conclude that eternal life lies within God’s love. (218-211, 1991.7.29)

3.2. Satan’s activities and the victory in the eight stages

Summary:
Satan historically holds onto creation across eight developmental stages—from the individual up to heaven and earth 🌌—by demanding that God and humanity show love toward him as a condition for returning creation to God’s dominion. To overcome this accusation and break Satan’s claim, Rev. Sun Myung Moon describes an unprecedented path of indemnity marked by enduring extreme hardship with joy rather than self-pity 😭. Ultimately, the passage asserts that achieving a historical utopia and directly connecting with God requires a course of absolute self-denial 🌿 across all eight levels (individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, heaven and earth, and God) to establish a fresh spiritual beginning ✨.

    Most people think that anyone can catch a fish just by throwing a fish hook into the water. However, that is not the truth! Different fish are active in different water temperatures. The water temperature differs between the bigger and smaller fish. In summertime, the water temperature is higher close to the surface. That is why the smaller fish live near the water’s surface. The fish move naturally, according to the temperature of the sea water. The fish dislike moving in all directions. They always try to move sideways. You must know such facts in order to fish. You must have knowledge of such things as where the fish gather and where to go fishing for salmon. You must become professionals. Therefore, studying is necessary. You cannot fish unless you become a professional in fishing.
    When I fish, I know exactly the right temperature. I already know what kinds of fish are found in certain temperatures. When you drop the fishing line a couple of times, the fish already touch the bait. So if I reel up the fish hook fast, the fish come up, and when the fish hook is reeled up slowly, it tends to sink down. While slowly reeling up the fish hook, you should know how fast the water is flowing on the surface. By the water temperature that we have today, I know what level the king salmon will come to. Usually, the salmon remain on the ocean floor. Why? They can find lots of food there. Crabs and small sea creatures live on the sea bottom, so the salmon like to gather there.
    No matter how many times you have caught fish in Alaska, you must learn again whenever you go fishing at a new place. You do not know how interesting this can be. Also, when people come and go, they can share their knowledge about fishing. The New Zealanders must learn when they come to Kodiak. Although they may be excellent fishermen in New Zealand, it does not work the same way in Kodiak. Because they must learn again when they come to Kodiak, they can mingle and create harmony. There are various ways of fishing, different ethnic groups, and different environments. Everywhere you go to fish, you will find many different environments. (252-206, 1993.12.30)

    What should our lives be focused on? God’s love, God’s life and God’s lineage – these three roots are the standard. So, what should you be grateful for? Do not offer thanks for living a comfort- able life. You must feel grateful for bearing a cross. If the remains of a defeat- ed army are bleeding and rotting with a bad smell, who will make the funeral arrangements? Who will train them and turn them into a regular army? Also, if there is nothing to eat, what should be done? Should they just be killed off? No. You thought that by winning every- thing would become nice and smooth, but actually you will have to bear a bigger cross. Your time will come after you have resolved all that, after you have rebuilt it. You can live happily only after you have established a new family, a new nation and a new world.

5.2. Conditions for Satan’s accusations

Summary:
Satan is an “adulterer” who violated Eve, causing God profound grief and anguish during the Fall 💔. While God can forgive human beings trapped under Satan’s influence, He cannot forgive Satan himself—meaning the final judgment is directed at Satan rather than humanity ⚖️. Overcoming this history requires believers to develop a standard of love so deep that they can bless even their ultimate enemy 🕊️, mirroring the immense sorrow and endurance God has maintained throughout history.

    God cannot intervene in the affairs of fallen humanity. His beloved was snatched away and bore children. Could He visit such a place and love them next to that devil? These are not empty words. Thus, Rome was destroyed through immorality, and America will now also perish through immorality. If you go to Pompeii, there are still traces of such immorality, traces of incestuous relationships over three generations. In America, twenty percent are that way. This is meant to be destroyed. (197-265, 1990.1.19)

    We call our Unification Church members “family members.” Members should have the connections of brothers and sisters and be born under the same parents’ heart. Only then can we become a member. We should have the relationship of brothers under the same parents. We should directly inherit the way of life, habits, and traditions of the parents. Then, we should create a family that God can be pleased with. Only then can we become members. (155-211, 1965.10.30)

5.2. Conditions for Satan’s accusations

Summary:
Satan acts as an “adulterer of love” who holds humanity captive and uses God’s unchanging Principle of Creation to demand love, claiming that neither God nor human beings can enter heaven without loving him first ⚖️. Because Satan relies on this original standard to make accusations, God is placed in a difficult position where He cannot use force, but must instead endure suffering and use a higher standard of love to reclaim humanity 🕊️. Ultimately, believers must recognize God’s silent struggle and overcome Satan by fulfilling this principle of loving their enemy to achieve spiritual unity and liberation 🌿.

You should become the sons and daughters who, from the valley of tears, can receive a response when calling for the Father. You should become the people who, when you call, “Father!” from a place of tears, He will reply, “Yes! I am here.” When you call, “Father!” from a place of piercing pain, shedding blood and sweat, He will reply, “I have endured, so you can too.” When you call for Him even at the moment when death approaches, He will reply, “I am here, be at ease.” The question is how much you attend the Father, how much you consult with Him and how much you live with Him in such situations. No matter how hard you call the Father from a place of self-centered glory it does no good because the Father has still not seen His day of glory. (11-102, 1961.2.12)

3.2. Satan is the enemy of love

Summary:
Satan claims protection under God’s unchanging law ⚖️, arguing that because God created him based on an eternal standard of love, God cannot change His nature or act destructively toward him even after his fall. Because this principle of eternal love remains unchanged, entering the heavenly kingdom requires loving one’s enemy 🕊️—including the fallen archangel. To overcome Satan, believers must expose his hidden crimes 🔍 and bring formal accusations against him before God until even unfallen archangels testify to the truth, forcing Satan to surrender.
