Why We Study the
Unification Principle
I. Reasons to study the Unification Principle

1. To solve all problems in the real world


(1) View on God ( life ・ marriage ・ nation ・ world ・ history
・ universe )
(2) Life ( mind and body ・ conflict ・ confrontation ・
struggle )
   Family breakdown (divorce, affairs), Teenage prostitution, AIDS,
School violence, Labor and management problems,
Racial discrimination, National barriers, Religious conflict,
Ideology conflicts (philosophy, democracy ・ communism),
Environmental pollution, Food shortage
(3) Problems concerning the Spirit World
(4) Existence and relationship ( Fundamental issue of
philosophy )

( Leaders of religion, politics, the economy, scholars and media


have addressed problems according to arising circumstances,
leaving fundamental solutions yet to be found. Always putting out
fires, but never finding the source of the problem. )
2 . To establish True Values

(1) Values : How do we view right and wrong?


( good vs. evil, true vs. false )

(2) If values are different


thoughts ⇒ judgment ⇒ standpoint ⇒ decisions ⇒ actions ⇒ lifestyles will
also differ
 ( example : North and South Korea  ⇒   Values are different, so
thoughts, judgments, viewpoints, decisions, actions, and life-styles are all
different.)
3. To realize a United Peaceful World
People desire freedom, equality, peace, unity and happiness.
Where does a united, peaceful world begin?
World ⇒ Family ⇒ Individual
Individual ⇒ Family ⇒ World
The united, peaceful world begins From me!  
Unity of the Individual’s mind and body

( man,
woman) Realizing peace through building a true family
  
4. To know the True Me
True Person God’s child
Me?
False Person Satan’s child
5. Reasons we cannot solve these problems
 
(1) We try to solve problems while denying the existence of the creator.

(2) Even though we may believe in God, we put Him aside and try to
solve
problems centering on our own thinking.

(3) People don’t want to affirm that they are fallen people.
II. Man
The starting point of all problems and their solutions: ‘Me’

1. What kind of being am I?


(Being of contradiction)
Evil Original Conflicting purposes
mind mind

Evil Mind Good from conception (no)


Destruction
after birth   O (yes)
( Misfortune Desire ( Happiness
) )
Ignorance
Fall  ( Original nature ・ Ideal of
Evil Good Creation )

Sadness Joy

(things that can be “felt” or
Spiritual ignorance sensed by internal means,
intuition, etc.)

・ Good & Evil
Fallen man Unity

Ignorance
Spirit Body ・ Origin of the physical universe Science ( O
Intellect ・ Laws of nature )
Flesh
World of phenomena
(things that can be observed)
III. Religion and Science

Philosophy : Science proving God ( Origin of the Universe )


Religion : Teaching the lifestyle of attending God

1. Religion
There was no need for religion in the original world.
Fallen man needs religion.
What is the state of religion today?

(1) Religion today : Unable to fulfill its responsibility


1) Emphasis on the next world⇒ Living in material reality
2) Incomplete doctrines (unable to solve current problems )
3) Ignorance of God’s Will ( Lost Heavenly fortune )
(2) Christianity
1) Became the world religion by raising the banner of man’s salvation
  2) Lost the fundamental mission of religion
  ① Should overcome ignorance of the mind and teach about God’s providence:
Unable to fulfill that mission
  ② Must become the bride who can receive the Messiah ;
Unable to fulfill that mission
(“I am the groom, and you are the bride.” - Jesus)
    “ God is my father” Unable to explain the
“I am His son (Only son)” father and son relationship
Jesus Bride and groom (could not build an ideal family)
⇒ Ethics and values destroyed because there was no unity (bride & groom)
Could not teach the ideal of the true family & world brotherhood

③ “Be the salt and light of the world” ( Mat 5/13-16 )


Unable to fulfill that mission
(The world came into the church (religion) and made it secular, and the church
lost the spirit of truth, the power of true love.)
④ Christianity: could not fulfill the mission of religion

Rom11/17 : The Messiah comes and cuts down the wild olive trees and engrafts the root with the True olive
tree.
You do not receive salvation (rebirth) from a religion by believing in it.
You receive salvation through the Blessing (true love) by believing in (attending) the Messiah (True Parents);
change way of living to follow original purpose of creation.
3) Lost the ability to take action
   (lost the ability to act and the power to persuade due to the incompleteness in
its
ideology)

4) Became a religion of rituals and institution


   (lost its sense of direction concerning God’s providence)

5) Became a tool for living


   (indifferent to the realization of God’s ideal)

6) Lost the spirit of the early church


(lost the fire of the religious reformation)
2. Science

1) Object of research : Something (form) ⇒ Nothing (no form)


2) Faces obstacles (limitations of the physical world)
3) Man’s life has become more convenient due to the development of
science, but also has suffered great damage by ignoring human values.

specific grain of sand from the bottom of the Pacific ocean

〇 To meet the Messiah (True Parents) : More difficult than fishing for a
specific fish in the entire Pacific ocean

words of salvation, the words of eternal life, the words of unity, the words of peace,
and
the words of blessing that appeared in the 20th century.

「 ref.3 」

Father wrote the following prayer / poem in 1935 at the age of 15.
In the beginning part of the book this poem was published in, Father wrote :
“I met Jesus on Easter morning when I was 15. From that day,
I have walked this way, following heaven’s orders in order to fulfill God’s Will.”

Crown of Glory
When I doubt people, I feel pain.
When I judge people, it is unbearable.
When I hate people, there is no value to my existence.

Yet if I believe, I am deceived.


If I love, I am betrayed
Suffering and grieving tonight, my head in my hands.
Am I wrong?
Yes I am wrong.
Even though we are deceived, still believe,
Though we are betrayed, still forgive.
Love completely, even those who hate you.

Wipe your tears away and welcome with a smile


Those who know nothing but deceit,
And those who betray without regret.

O, Master, the pain of loving.


Look at my hands.
Place your hand on my chest.
My heart is bursting, such agony.

But when I love those who acted against me,


I brought victory.
If you have done the same things,
I will give you the Crown of Glory
1935 Sun Myung Moon

Introduction
(1) What is the Principle of Creation?
It is God’s blueprint for the creation of man, man’s life and the
universe.
We must know God in order to know about life and the universe.
1) How to live well (Blueprint )
Things – how to use (use according to plan) - 100V, 220V
Man – how to live (live according to the principle of creation)

2) When is the purpose decided?


  Things – when made in the factory (blueprint)
Man – at the time of creation (principle of creation)
 
3) People who live well –people who live in accordance with the Principle of
Creation
People who don’t live well – people who don’t live in accordance with the
Principle of Creation (broken people, people with severe illnesses)

The Unification Principle is not a doctrine, but


the True Principle by which all people must live.
(2) Views of God
1 ) Ancient philosophy (Greek philosophy)
Without determining the essence of material, they dealt with the constituents
of the universe

① Thales – Water ⑤ Pythagoras – Numbers


② Anaximander – The Boundless ⑥ Parmenides – It is
③ Anaximenes – Air ⑦ Empedocles – Air, fire, earth, water
④ Heraclitus – Fire ⑧ Aristotle – First Material

2) Eastern philosophy: the Li–Chi Theory  


Saw Chi as the substance of the universe
Energy (chi)  – Yin, Yang
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Soil - 5 Agents

3) Philosophical conflict of the middle ages


  The origin of the universe (The existence of God )
The essence of the universe (spirit or matter)

4) Modern age
    Spirit (Democratic world)
   Matter (Communist world)
5) Today’s Science (Physics)
Reveals that the ultimate causal element of matter is energy
Recently discovered Quantum Physics will be able to find the origin of this energy.

6) Does God exist?


How does He exist? ( Debate between existence and non-existence, Debate on
inherent qualities )
What are His characteristics? And how can we know them?
   (We can know them through what we can see)

7) Pre-existing views of God cannot clearly explain:


the God of Love & Goodness; or: What determines life/death vs fortune/misfortune;
or Judgment, or an Absolute ・ Unique ・ Unchanging ・ Eternal God
① Gen1:27 - God made man in His image (It is not clear what it is we resemble.)
② Plotinus – Motivation and Purpose of Creation are vague

8) View of God in the Unification Principle is clear: God is God of heart and true love –
truth, beauty, and goodness – unique, unchanging, eternal, and absolute. God’s
motivation and purpose for creating was/is to have an object with whom God may
share the heart of true love, eternally, with an infinite number of objects of love. As
God is infinite, so is God’s desire to have an infinite number of unique sons and
daughters to love and from whom to receive stimulation.
The Dual Characteristics of God and the
Created Universe
1 . The Dual Characteristics
of God
〇 Exod 3/14 : God is self existent.
〇 Rom 1/20 : God’s power and deity are perceived in the things
that have been made. (There is a common law)

Laws of existence Law of “resemblance”

Cause ( Artist ) God

「 ref. 7 」

Why can’t we see God or feel

hear)
Electromagnetic waves × (cannot sense)
② The more precious, the more we can’t see

(2 ) The Argument of Creation vs. Evolution is finished


⇒ It is Creation, not Evolution
Why? Because:
① Was existence first, or thought first?
(motivation and purpose come first)
② All things are born for the sake of Love (existence)
Therefore, all beings exist in pairs, each living for the other.
③ New developments always need the investment of creativity
(new ideas, skills). Without this, there can be no development.
「 ref. 9 」

Pantheism, Plotinus (Emanation Theory)


“There is no motivation and purpose of
Creation.” (All is a random event.)

Principle ⇒ Completely complements Christianity’s


theory of Creation
What was the motivation and purpose
for which God created the Universe?

Motivation of Creation : Shimjung and Love


Purpose of Creation : Joy

Through revealing the Shimjung motivation theory,


the argument of ‘How we were formed’ is finished.
Creation or Evolution? The argument of Pantheism and emanation
(Plotinus) is finished.
2. The relationship between God and
Mankind
(1) Relationship of Mind and Body   (People are Second Gods )

God Mind ( First mind )

Man Body( Second mind )

( Second God )

- See people as incarnation of God


Human beings are - Listen to what people say as if it is God
Second Gods: - speaking
- People’s divinity, value, dignity
- Theory of “Resemblance”
(2) Relationship of Parent and Child
1) Why are God and Man in the relationship of parent and child?
(Reason God is the parent and mankind are His children)
All beings are born from parents (lineage) ⇒ Children are complete substantiation of the parents.
※ The 4 principles of being formed:
① Children are formed through their parent’s love ② They are formed belonging to their parents.
③ They are formed for their partner ④ They are formed to live eternally.
2) Adam and Eve were God’s children
True love travels the shortest distance (True love ⇒True life ⇒True lineage)

Adam God’s son and God’s body

Eve God’s daughter and God’s partner (Adam’s wife)

Adam and Eve’s marriage is God’s marriage.


(Appearance of the substantial God)
Adam and Eve’s first love is God’s first love.

Until now, God couldn’t give love substantially while in a body.


With the appearance of the True Parents, He was finally able to.
3 ) The greatest desire of man is to become True
Parents

① All beings exist because they have parents.


② Parents need children to become parents.

(2) Determining Original Value

God
Ideal of Creation
The original value of an entity is determined by the
formation a partner relationship between the
purpose of the entity’s existence as an object
Subject Entity’s
Person Purpose partner centering on God’s ideal of creation and the
original desire of a person standing in the subject
partner position to pursue value.
Original Value

God
So for an object partner to possess original value, it
must form a union through a give and take action
Subject with a person standing in the subject position,
Entity
Person thereby becoming a third objective partner to God
and forming an original four-position foundation.
Union Third Objective Partner

Original
four position foundation
3. Standard of Original Value

God Since God, the center of the four position


foundation is absolute, the standard of value is
also absolute. So, with God as the standard,
S.P. O.P.
the value of any object partner that is
determined relative to Him is also absolute.

4. Original Emotion, Intellect, Will and
Original Truth, Beauty, Goodness

God Intellect Emotion Will


( Responsive Feeling )
Mind Intellect Emotion Will

Man ( Action )

Body Truth   Beauty Goodness ( Value )

The human mind has three faculties: emotion, intellect and will.
The body is a responsive entity to the mind’s intellect, emotion, and will, so its
actions appear as being in pursuit of the values of truth, beauty, and goodness.
Because God is the subject partner to the human mind, He is also the subject
partner to human intellect, emotion, and will.
So a person can manifest the values of original truth, beauty and goodness only
when, because of his desire to realize original value, he responds through his
mind to God’s intellect, emotion and will and then acts on these through his body.

When two entities, discrete manifestations of God’s dual characteristics, form a
common base and seek to engage in give and take action so as to form a four position
foundation, thereby forming a union that is God’s third object,

The emotional force given by the subject partner to the object partner is called love,
and the emotional force given by the object partner to the subject partner is called
beauty.

The force of love is active,


and the stimulation of beauty is passive.

An act or its result is called good when it fulfills God’s purpose of creation; this
takes place when subject and object partners unite through the harmonious and
smooth give and take of love and beauty, become the third object partner to God,
and form the four position foundation.

An act or its result is called evil when it fulfills Satan’s purpose


by forming a four position foundation centered on Satan.

〇 Right to govern creation

( Man of Instinct ) ( Man of Character ) 〇 Take part in the
creation process

Complete God’s Will God’s Responsibility Human


100 % 95 % Responsibility
5%
( God’s Word ) ( faith, practice )
(3) Reason God Gave Portion Responsibility to Human Beings

① As the Creator of human beings, God is qualified to govern human beings.

② If human beings are to be qualified to be God’s children and have dominion over
creation, they must also create all things. But human beings don’t have the power
to do this.

③ So instead of creating all things, God has human create our own character
under our own portion of responsibility. By having human beings do this,
something that even God cannot do for us, God intends to make us qualified to be
His children and to exercise dominion over all things.
④ Then how is the creation of human character accomplished?
The human character is created and perfected by
God giving His Word to human beings according to His 95% portion of
responsibility, and human beings believing in that Word and putting it into practice
according to our 5% portion of responsibility so as to act with Absolute Sex and
self dominion (self-discipline).

⑤ So human beings create our own character by our own portion of responsibility
and come to possess creativity, become second creators and participate in God’s
creative enterprise in a way that completes that enterprise.

This is the reason God gave a portion of responsibility to human beings.

※The liberation realm of responsibility can be completed on the


foundation of Absolute Sex.

② Physical Life : Perfect the 4 Great Realms of Heart


→ Experience True Love ( Realize True Love )

③ Redemption must be done on earth


( Resolution through indemnity conditions )
④ Physical Self ⇒ Birth of the Spirit Self ( Reproduce )

⑤ Life on earth determines the life in the spirit world

Life of goodness ⇒ Spirit self becomes good ⇒ Heaven


Physical Life Life of evil ⇒ Spirit self becomes evil ⇒ Hell

Spirit self is the best (and final) product of physical life

「 Conclusion 」 Why do people need to live lives of goodness?


⇒ because the spirit world exists
(2) Importance of the Spirit Self
① Owner of the spirit world ( Owner of love )
② Subject of the physical self
③ Spiritually communicates with God ( Live through attendance )
④ Eternal life

Fallen man⇒ carries the original mind that pursues to live in goodness, but lost the
original standard of absolute truth ⇒ each individual’s standard of conscience differs
centering on what one believes is the truth.
This is the reason the direction of conscience tends to differ when ideologies and
philosophies differ.
2) The Relationship between the Original Mind and Conscience
① Similar to the relationship of internal nature and external form
God ② Similar to inside and outside
③ The original mind and conscience are always directed towards
Original God’s purpose of goodness and follows its will.

Introduction

  All people have an original mind, which inclines them to pursue goodness. Yet,
even without our being aware of it, we are driven by evil forces to perform evil
deeds, which we do not want to do. In Christianity, the master of these evil forces
is known as Satan.

  The human beings who were created as God’s children became Satan’s
children by falling under Satan’s temptation to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge
of good and evil, which God had commanded not to eat. They inherited the original
sin and came to live under the dominion of Satan, who became the false god of the
world and the owner of evil forces.

  The explanation of the human fall will clarify the issues of the Fall and the
fundamental questions of sin, by examining the root of sin (original sin), the identity
of Satan, the motivation and process of the Fall, and the reason why the
omnipotent God did not intervene in the Fall of the first human ancestors.

〇 Snake (Satan) : Fallen Archangel Lucifer ( worldly god, acts as a king)


〇 Root of Sin : Illicit sexual (blood) relationship between
the fallen Archangel and Eve ( lustful desires )
〇 Fallen Man : Satan’s children ( inherit the servant’s false love, life and lineage )
Evidence
① Many religions consider fornication as the
greatest sin
② Israelites practice circumcision
③ The Last days: perish due to fornication
(reap what you sow)
④ Reality in society: Cultural development and sexual crimes
⑤ Heredity is passed through blood lineage
⑥ Rise and fall of nations- Fornication ( AIDS )
⑦ Immoral and rebellious teenagers, destruction of family morals

AA Eve Adam

Mother Child

Religious chastity : Contradicts with Gen. 1:28


Catholic : Contradiction
( Priests and nuns practice celibacy: Followers can marry )
Section 2. The Motivation and Process of the Fall
( Why did the Fall Occur ?)

(1) Purpose of the Creation of the Angels

1) Mission as servants ( Heb. 1: 14, Rev. 22: 9 )


① Gen. 18: 10 : Sent God’s message of the great blessing to Abraham
② Matt. 1: 20, Luke 1: 31 : Spread the message of the birth of Christ
③ Acts 12: 7-10 : Helped Peter to escape the prison by taking the chains off his hands

2) Song of worship
① Rev. 5: 11 : And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne
and the living beings and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times
ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
② Rev. 7: 11 : And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the
four living beings, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

Section 3 . How did the Human Beings Fall
during
the Growing Period?
( 1 ) The Power of Love and the Power of the Principle

Power of Love < Power of Principle + Faith


Power of Love > Power of Principle
Power of Unprincipled Love > Power of Principle Power of Unprincipled Love < Power of Principle + Faith

① Immature Adam and Eve in their growing periods had the


possibility to Fall through unprincipled love (angel’s love)

② This is similar to a train which cannot run off track unless some
outside force collides with it and pushes it in a different direction.
(2) Why God Set Up the Commandment
God gave the Commandment in order to prevent the Fall.
   In their immature state, Adam and Eve could not be directly governed by God through love.
Because the power of love is stronger than the power of the Principle,
God gave the Commandment in order to prevent the Fall.

(3) Good and Evil Seen from the Viewpoint of
Purpose
Had Adam and Eve formed a four position foundation centered on God, they would have
established a good world.
But when they loved each other with a purpose contrary to this and established a four position
foundation centered on Satan, they ended up forming an evil world.
This demonstrates that “good” and “evil” refer to the results produced from identical content used in
the pursuit of opposite purposes.

(4) What is Sin?

1) Meaning : Sin is a violation of heavenly law which is committed


when a person forms a common base with Satan,
thus setting a condition for give and take action with
him.

2) Classification of sins

① Individual sin (leaf)


② Collective sin (branch)
③ Hereditary sin (trunk)
④ Original sin (root)
(5) Fallen Nature
Adam and Eve inherited from the Archangel all the proclivities
incidental to his transgression against God when he bound Eve in
blood ties through their sexual relationship. These proclivities have
become the root cause of the fallen inclinations in all people.

Section 5 . Freedom and the Human Fall
(1) The Meaning of Freedom from the Viewpoint of the
Principle
1) There is no freedom outside the Principle.

Perfect
Principle freedom

Free Free
Mind will action

2) There is no freedom without responsibility.


Human beings, created according to the Principle, can reach perfection only by
fulfilling their responsibility based on their free will.
Freedom without responsibility is self-indulgence.

3) There is no freedom without accomplishment.


Freedom will ceaselessly pursues concrete actions through free actions.
(2) Freedom cannot have caused the Human Fall
Human beings lost their true freedom as a result of the Fall

Unprincipled Love
Not Free

Death Line

Death Life God

Freedom
Man

Satan

True Love
(3) Reason for giving freedom
Freedom : Seeks to return joy to God through accomplishments while fulfilling
one’s
responsibility in accordance with the principle of creation.
Free action resulting from free will ⇒ Good results ⇒ Gives joy to God

(4) Desire
Desire : Inherited creative nature of God
Purpose of Creation :  Happiness ⇒ Happiness is felt by fulfilling one’s desire.

If human beings did not have desires :


joy could not exist,
and we would have no desire to receive God’s love,
no desire to live, do acts of goodness,
or develop.

God’s purpose of creation and the providence of restoration could not


be fulfilled and human society could not be maintained or developed.
Section 6 . The Three Reasons God Did Not Intervene in the
Actions of the Fall
(1) To Maintain the Absoluteness and Perfection of the Principle of Creation

God’s Word responsibility character Right of God’s child

If God intervened, it would result in His denying the absoluteness and


perfection of the Principle.
⇒ So He could not intervene
(2) That God Alone Be the Creator

God Satan

Hell

God only governs over a principled existence which He has created


⇒ If God intervened, he would recognize Satan’s creation such as
the Fall, sin and hell as principled.

If God had intervened, it would have resulted in recognizing Satan as


a second the creator who had created evil.

So in order that God remain the sole Creator, He could not intervene
in the Human Fall.
(3) To Make Human Beings the Lords of Creation
God

P. Creation P. Person ( true love )

and Eve

If God exercised direct dominion over human beings still in the indirect dominion,
⇒ human beings could not fulfill their portion of responsibility
⇒ human beings could not inherit the nature of the Creator
⇒ human beings could not become God’s children
⇒ human beings could not become qualified to rule the universe.
So God did not intervene in the Fall so as to make human beings the
lords of creation.
「 Reference 1」  God’s Heart and Anguish
Satan is the Adulterer of Love (Enemy of Love)

(1) Satan is the enemy of enemies who violated the Four Great Realms of Heart
   Violation of the Four Great Realms of Heart
(daughter ・ sister, wife, mother, grandmother)
(2) God’s heart that must love the enemy of love
(3) God’s heart that must love the children of the enemy of love more than his own children.
God cannot become the absolute Creator by carrying the concept of ‘enemy’
within His heart.

We must understand God’s unspeakable heart and liberate Him from His anguish.
「 Reference 2 」   Why must we love our enemy?
(1) Because the motivation for creation was shimjung.
①This is the reason Satan accuses God by saying: “You have to love your enemy”.
  ② Human beings reach perfection with the help of the angels during the growing period.
⇒ How can these human beings be God’s children ?

(2) God is the parent of shimjung.


Striking the enemy might satisfy one’s resentment for the moment, but God cannot strike His
enemy because He knows that the pain he would afflict on the enemy’s parents, spouse,
children, siblings and relatives is greater.

(3) If you hit the enemy, it would mean that you acknowledges its existence.

There is no concept of enemy in God’s ideal of creation.


So God cannot strike his enemy Satan(Devil).
If God were to strike Satan, it would mean that He recognized Satan as His enemy.
This is the reason God has conducted the providence to subjugate Satan naturally.
「 Reference 3 」   Motives for Becoming Satan
(1) When we are unable to love as God loves
(feelings of being excluded, lack of love, resentment)
(2) When we leave our place of existence
(complain, dissatisfaction)
(3) When we attempt to dominate in reverse
(When we break discipline and do things according to our own thinking)

Prevention: Live a life of Absolute Faith, Absolute Love, Absolute obedience

Introduction

We dwell in ignorance of history, uncertain about its origin, the direction in which it
is heading, and its final destination. Concerning eschatology, or the doctrine of the
Last Days, many Christians believe literally what is written in the Bible.

(II Peter 2:12 – Heaven, Earth, Judgment of Fire; Matthew 24:29 – sun, moon,
stars; I Thessalonians 4:16~17 – resurrection, rise into the air)

One pertinent question for Christians is whether these events will take place
literally or whether the verses are symbolic, as are many parts of the Bible.

    5) Our Attitude toward the Bible
Introduction

The word "Messiah" in Hebrew means the "anointed one," signifying


a king. The chosen people of Israel believed in the Word of God as
revealed through the prophets, which promised that God would
send them a king and savior. Such was their messianic expectation.
God sent this Messiah in the person of Jesus Christ. "Christ" is the
Greek word for Messiah.
Section 1. Salvation through the Cross
Christ ⇒ Messiah ⇒ Jesus - 33 years old    † ascended to heaven
Christianity ⇒ church of the cross ⇒ faith of the cross ( redemption through blood )

(2) Was the Providence of Salvation completed through
the Redemption of the Cross?

① Conclusion : No, it was not completed.

② The purpose of the providence of salvation


was not fulfilled.

•Resolution of original sin × ( Rom. 7: 23, I John 1: 8-10 )


•Restoration of the original human nature of creation ×
•Necessity of prayer and faith for indemnity ( I Thess. 5: 17 )
•Necessity of the descendants’ life of faith and salvation ( Rev. 22: 14 )

③ Why was it not fulfilled?


⇒ because Jesus died on the cross
3) Did Jesus Come to Die on the Cross?

crucified the Lord of glory. )
Jesus’ death on the cross = result of ignorance and unbelief

Meaning of “It is finished”


① Received testimony as the Messiah
②Accomplished spiritual salvation

It does not mean that Jesus completely accomplished God’s Will.


③Matt. 16: 23 : Said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! ”
Luke 9: 30 :  And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and
Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he
was to accomplish at Jerusalem.  Now Peter and those who were
with him were heavy with sleep, and when they wakened they saw
his glory and the two men who stood with him.  And as the men
were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that
we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for
Moses and one for Elijah" --not knowing what he said.

Physical resurrection×, Substantial body ( cross),


to go the way of spiritual salvation was decided
Satan tried to enter Peter in order to prevent spiritual salvation.
Satan entered Judah to betray Jesus.

Conclusion :
   Jesus did not come to die on the cross, but
he died on the cross due to the unbelief of the
Jewish people and his disciples.

②Mission of Attendance : in holiness and righteousness before him all


the days of our life. ( Luke 1: 75 )

Unbelief of John the Baptist  →  Unbelief of the entire Jewish people  →  Jesus crucified on the cross

(3) The Unbelief of John the Baptist


① Ignorant about God’s Will and the providence ( Matt. 11: 17 )
②Judged centered on himself
③False view of the Messiah
④Disbelieved in Jesus’ words and deeds
⑤Worried about his social authority and reputation
⑥Believed in the Old Testament literally

and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of

(5) Our Attitude Toward the Bible

Heavenly John the Baptist's ignorance and unbelief in Jesus


secret brought about the Jewish people's unbelief,
which eventually led to Jesus' crucifixion.

because we have been reading the Bible based on the


No one knew unquestioned belief that John the Baptist was a great
prophet

①We should dispense with the conservative attitude of faith.


②We should constantly make effort to have the right faith by searching
both in spirit and in truth.

Introduction
If we are to believe literally the prophesies of the Scripture, we should
expect that when Jesus comes again, the saints will come back to life in the
flesh. Their bodies, buried in the earth and completely decomposed, will be
reconstituted to their original state. (I Thess. 4: 16, Matt. 27: 52)
As people of faith we must accept them, but given the modern state of our
knowledge, they do not make rational sense. Therefore, it is important that
we elucidate the true meaning of resurrection.
Section 1. The Meaning of Resurrection
Life : state in which the physical self
1.1 General Concepts of Life and Death maintains its physiological functions
Death : end of physical life 、 corpse
1.2 Biblical Concepts of Life and Death

One in heart with God


Life (God’s love is the origin of life
State of being inside God’s true love)
John 11: 25 he who believes in me –shall live
Resurrection Fall whoever lives and believes in me –shall never die.
( process John 5: 24 he who believes ---has eternal life,
phenomena )    (he who hears my word and believes him who sent
me)

Death
State where Shimjung Relationship with God
has been severed
(State where a person has left God’s realm of love, and exists
within Satan’s realm of dominion, where there is no true love.)
Rev. 3: 1 name of being alive------dead
I John 3: 14 he who does not love—abides in death
Luke 9: 60 Death Death Rom. 6: 23 wage of sin ------ death
Rom. 8: 6 set the mind on the flesh---death
( dead body(
)active person ) set the mind on the Spirit-----life and peace

Resurrected Resurrected
spirits Earthly people
1.3 The Meaning of Resurrection
  Resurrection may be defined as
    the process of being restored from the realm of Satan’s dominion
to the realm of God’s direct dominion, through the providence of
restoration.   Accordingly, whenever we repent of our sins and rise
to a higher state of goodness, we are resurrected to that degree.

1.4 What Changes does Resurrection cause in Human


Beings?
   External: No apparent change (usually)
   Internal: Spiritual change (From Satan’s haunt to God’s home)

    Ex.) Jesus’ disciples


       No significant external changes after becoming disciples.
1.5 The Death Caused by the Human Fall

Resurrection is needed, because human beings died as a result of the Fall.


What type of death was brought about by the Fall of the first human ancestors?

1) Gen. 2: 17 :“… on the day they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they will surely die.”
   These words did not refer to the end of physical life.
   Adam and Eve after the Fall continued their earthly life for over 900 years, living their lives and
bearing
children. Hence, the death caused by the Fall was not the end of physical life, but rather a state of
spiritual death in which we are cut off from God’s love. The Fall was not the cause of physical death.

2) We see in the Principle of Creation that no life form consisting of material can exist for eternity.
If human beings were to live on earth forever in the flesh, there is no need for God to create
the spirit world. According to the Principle of Creation, human beings were originally created to grow old
and return to dust. (Ecc12: 7)

Death caused by the Fall : Descent from good dominion of


God
into the evil dominion of Satan
Section 2 . The Providence of Resurrection

of Resurrection = of Restoration = of Re-creation the Principle of Creation

2.1 Basic Principles for the Providence of Resurrection

①Believe in God’s word and practice it

God’s responsibility (Word) + Human responsibility ( believe and
practice )
②Only on base of physical self — can spirit can grow to perfection

 1) Spiritual Phenomena in the Last Days
The reason God promised to pour out His Spirit in the last days (Acts 2: 17) :
Last Days is the time when people return to the spiritual level reached by the first
human ancestors just prior to the Fall.

Dominion over the universe


①”You are the Lord” Chosen people of the age are appointed as the substitute the Second Advent

②You are the best.


Levels of the spirit world differ according to their spiritual standards.

a)Focus only on their vertical relationship with God, not sensitive to their horizontal relationships.
That is why spiritual mediums receive the revelation that they are the best.
b)It means they are the best in carrying out one’s particular mission, not the best among everyone.

③Spiritually sensitive people will encounter confusion stemming from


horizontal conflicts.
2) The First Resurrection (144,000)
The “first resurrection” spoken of in the Bible describes the fulfillment of restoration
for the first time in providential history through the Christ at the Second Advent, who
will cleanse people of the original sin and restore them to their true, original selves,
enabling each to fulfill the purpose of creation.

12X12 = 144,000
2.3 The Providence of Resurrection for Spirits
1) Purpose :
① Spirits can grow and reach perfection through the physical self
② Spirits cannot be resurrected apart from the physical self.
2) Method:
Form a common base with the spiritual activities of the people on earth.

5) The Returning Resurrection of Evil Spirits
In order for evil spirits to receive the benefit of returning Resurrection, their works
must have the effect of punishing earthly people to help them to make conditions
to indemnify their fallen nature that has frustrated God’s past efforts to cleanse
them from their sins.

2.4 The Theory of Reincarnation Examined in
Light of the Principle of Returning Resurrection
Spirits who could not complete their missions during their earthly life must return
to people on earth who share the same type of mission they had during their lifetime.
When a spirit assists an earthly person to fulfill God’s Will, the person will fulfill not
only his own mission, but also the mission of the spirit who has helped him.
Hence, this earthly person may sometimes be called by the spirit’s name and appear
to be the reincarnation of that spirit.

1) Rom. 8/29 ~ 30 “For those whom He foreknew He also predestined…”
God’s predestination concerning an individual’s glorification is thus contingent upon the
fulfillment of his portion of responsibility. Because the biblical verse does not mention the
human portion of responsibility, people may misinterpret it to mean that all affairs are
determined solely by God’s absolute predestination.
2) Rom. 9/15 ~ 16 “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy…”
   This verse was written to emphasize the power and grace of God.
3) Rom. 9/21 Has the potter no right over the clay…
This verse teaches us that fallen people have become like refuse, fit to be discarded, and
in such a state, no matter how God may treat them, they have no cause to complain.
4) Rom. 9/11 God favored Jacob over Esau from before they were born
   This was in order to set up a certain course in the providence of restoration.

Introduction
  For fallen people who seek salvation, perhaps the most important
questions among the many they must resolve concern Christology.
Issues which fall within its scope include the Trinity, which deals with
the relationship between God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, as well as
rebirth and the relationship between Jesus, the Holy Spirit and fallen
people.
Until now, the controversies surrounding these issues have never
been clearly settled. Consequently, considerable confusion remains in
Christian doctrine and ways of faith.

Introduction

Creation

Principle of Restoration

Fall

Human history is the history of God’s providence of restoration.


It is called “providence of restoration,” because it is God’s work of re-creation,
which has as its goal to recover and realize the purpose of creation and
because God works this providence in accordance with the Principle.
The Principle of Restoration explains God’s Providence through which fallen
human beings can be restored to their original state. Therefore, without knowing
the Principle of Restoration, fallen people can never find the path of life.
So we must understand the Principle of Restoration in detail.
I. Providence of Restoration and the Messiah

Fallen Human Being

Goodness and Evil act inside people to differing degrees.


In a fallen person, the basis for evil is a concluded and decisive
element. So it is easily invoked and manifested.
The basis of goodness is incomplete, however. So it has difficulty
bearing fruit without the person making conscious effort to stimulate it.

Conditions Conditions
Fallen Person

1) Meaning of Indemnity: When someone has lost his original position or state,
he must make some condition to be restored to it.
The making of such conditions of restitution is
Indemnity.
① Restoration through Indemnity: Process of restoring the original position
and state through making conditions
② Condition of Indemnity: Condition made for the restoration through indemnity
③ Providence of Restoration through Indemnity: God’s work to restore people to their true,
unfallen state by having them fulfill indemnity conditions.
2) Types of Conditions of Indemnity

① Condition of Equal Indemnity (Old Testament)


( Exod. 21/23-25 ; Life, Eye, Tooth, Hand, Foot )

② Condition of Lesser Indemnity (New Testament)


( Faith, Baptism, Holy Communion, Debt )

③ Condition of a Greater Indemnity


( Sacrifice of Isaac, 40 years in the Wilderness )
3) How Should Indemnity Conditions be Made?
① Reversing the Course
〇 Adam⇒ Forsook God     God⇒ Forsook Jesus (Matt. 27/46)
〇 Israel⇒ Reviled Jesus     Israel ⇒ Should Love Jesus and Bear
〇 Adam⇒ Violated the Will⇒ Caused God Grief Humankind⇒ Should Love the Will
⇒ Should comfort God’s Heart
〇 Adam forsook God⇒ Humankind ended up in the bosom of Satan
For Jesus to take humankind out of the bosom of Satan
and return them to God, he had to worship and honor God
even after being forsaken by Him.
  
※ Do Not Blame God. Do Not Blame Anyone.

② Who Should Make Indemnity Conditions?

Fallen People must make them.

(2) What Indemnity Conditions Should Fallen People Make?
We need to know the conditions Adam and Eve should have made.
Why? Because Indemnity Conditions are made by reversing the course.

( The hope of history is to receive the

For fallen people to be restored to their original state, we must receive the Messiah.
Before we can receive the Messiah, we must first establish the Foundation to receive the
Messiah. Without such a foundation, fallen people will kill the coming Messiah.

   ( 4 ) Some Lessons from Adam’s Family
Introduction

The Will of God in the Providence of Restoration to send the


Messiah and save fallen human beings began immediately
following Adam’s fall. Therefore, the Providence to lay the
Foundation to Receive the Messiah was begun in Adam’s
family.

Fallen people must know clearly about Adam’s Family.


This is because Adam’s family encompasses God’s
Creation, the Fall and Restoration.
I. Foundation to Receive the Messiah
For fallen people to be restored to their original state, we must receive the Messiah.
Before we can receive the Messiah, we must first establish the Foundation to Receive the
Messiah.
Without the Foundation to Receive the Messiah, fallen people will kill the coming Messiah.

(3) By receiving Abel’s Offering, God showed us that


a sinner can make an offering acceptable to God,
provided he satisfies the necessary conditions.
(4) Even fallen people can be accepted by God when they satisfy
the necessary conditions.

(5) For a person who has a connection with Satan to return to


God’s
side, he must make the requisite indemnity conditions.

II. Lessons

1. Lesson In Regard to the Principle


(1) God’s predestination and attitude towards the accomplishment of His Will:
He does not intervene in the human portion of responsibility.

(2) God’s predestination in regard to the Will is absolute:


He began a new chapter of His Providence by raising Seth
in Abel’s place.

God’s Will God’s Human


Fulfilled Responsibility Responsibility
100 % 95 % 5%
2. Lessons to Note

(1) Abel : Do not be arrogant, Be obedient and modest,


Do not boast, Be self-sacrificing (blood, sweat, tears)

Abel’s Responsibility: He should have loved Cain absolutely


( He should have passed on and practiced God’s love )
He should have brought Cain to voluntary submission

(2 ) Cain : Control your desire to murder someone


(Do not be discontented, Do not feel less loved)
Killing Abel may provide momentary satisfaction of anger,
But cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven
(Murderers go to hell)

Cain’s Responsibility: He should have submitted to Abel


absolutely and voluntarily
( Cain receives blessings through Abel )
He should have controlled himself with patience
3. Law of Cain and Abel

God

Become absolutely one with God (Love)


Abel Abel should love Cain with the love he receives
Cain
+ his own love
Archangel Adam Abel is Cain’s pathway to Heaven
Only God can intervene with Abel: Pray

Cain does not have a heart or true love (Desires to kill, hates)
So he must be taught.
Teach him shimjung, she can live for others (Loving his enemy)
4. The Attitude for Going to Heaven
(1) Abel: Should consider Cain’s feelings to maximum extent
(The good person walks the path of sacrifice to save the evil person)

(2) Cain : Goes to Heaven through Abel.


Cain should sever his relations with Satan (Separation from Satan)
Whose words should he accept?
If he is to believe in God, he must sever his ties with Satan

Abel = Roots
Cain = Soil

5. Everything is decided in the moment

The relationship between moment and lifetime.

   ( 3 ) Some Lessons from Noah’s Family
Introduction
Cain killed Abel, thereby preventing the providence of restoration in Adam’s
family from being accomplished. Nevertheless, God had predestined
absolutely the fulfillment of the purpose of creation, and His Will remained
unchangeable. Hence, upon the foundation of the loyal heart which Abel
demonstrated toward Heaven, God chose Seth in his place (Gen. 4:25).
From among Seth’s descendents, God chose Noah’s family to substitute for
Adam’s family and commenced a new chapter in His providence.

It is written in Genesis 6:13 that God judged the world by the flood: “And God
said to Noah, ‘I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is
filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”
This shows us that Noah’s time was the Last Days.
I. Foundation to Receive the Messiah

For fallen people to be restored to their original state, we must receive the Messiah.
Before we can receive the Messiah, we must first establish the Foundation to Receive the
Messiah.
Without the Foundation to Receive the Messiah, fallen people will kill the coming Messiah.

Meaning of Number 40

The number 40 became characteristic of dispensations for the Separation of


Satan, which are necessary for restoring the Foundation of Faith, in the
following courses of the Providence of Restoration through Indemnity.

1) What is Sin?
To form a common base with Satan and provide him with a condition
enabling him to act, thereby violating Heavenly Law.

Before the Fall: Naked but not Ashamed


After the Fall: Ashamed of Nakedness

Feeling ashamed provided Satan with a condition

2) Ham failed to become the Central Figure for the Foundation of Substance

3) Languages and Races Divided


3. Result

Though the Foundation of Faith was successfully laid, due to the


mistake of Ham the Foundation of Substance was not established.

Therefore, the Foundation to Receive the Messiah in Noah’s


Family was not Established.
II. Lessons

1. Lesson In Regard to the Principle

(1) God’s Will is Absolute, but its achievement is Conditional


( Because of human portion of responsibility )

(2) God’s predestination in regard to human beings

Introduction

Due to Ham’s fallen act, the providence of restoration in Noah’s family was not
fulfilled. Nevertheless, God had predestined absolutely the fulfillment of the
purpose of creation. Therefore, upon the foundation of Noah’s heart of loyalty
toward Heaven, God called Abraham, the son of Terah who was an idolater
most beloved by Satan, and commenced a new chapter in the providence of
restoration with his family.
I. Foundation to Receive the Messiah
For fallen people to be restored to their original state, we must receive the Messiah.
Before we can receive the Messiah, we must first establish the Foundation to receive the
Messiah.
Without the Foundation to receive the Messiah, fallen people will kill the coming Messiah.

Thus, he can make the Symbolic Offering
(2) Symbolic Offering
1) Symbolism of the 3 sacrifices: Symbolized the Cosmos, completed through the 3 stages

Judges 14/18: “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have solved my
riddle…”
Rev. 19/7 : Feast of the Lamb ( Age of the Wife is the Age of the Heifer )
2) Meaning of the 3 Sacrifices

① Symbolized the cosmos, completed through the 3 stages


② To restore in Abraham’s generation (horizontally) all the indemnity conditions
which had accumulated in the course of the providence (vertically) through the 3
generations of Adam, Noah and Abraham.
③ To restore through indemnity all the defiled conditions containing the number 3,
which were invaded by Satan, thereby fulfilling the entire providence of restoration
once and for all.

3) How was Abraham to make the Symbolic Offering?


He should have cut them in two, but he did not cut the dove
4) Meaning of dividing the offering (Gen. 15/8-13)
Separation of Good and Evil ( Purpose of the Providence of Salvation
is the Restoration of the Good Sovereignty)
① Adam’s Family⇒ Separation of Cain and Abel
(Adam is the Embodiment of good and evil)
② Noah’s Family⇒ Separation of other people from Noah’s family
  ( Centered on the Ark, Judgment by Flood, Separation of good and
evil )
③ Abraham’s Family⇒ Separation of the realm of God’s good sovereignty
out of the Satanic World
④ To sanctify the Offering by draining out the blood of death
  ( which had entered fallen humanity through Satan )
5) Consequence of Not Dividing the Offering
Failure to separate good and evil (Under the dominion of Satan)
① After the Creation of Humankind⇒ The Archangel targeted human beings
② Adam’s Family⇒ Satan targeted Cain and Abel at the time of their Offering
③ Noah’s Family⇒ Satan targeted them after the flood
④ Abraham’s Family⇒ Satan targeted them after the Symbolic Offering

Symbolizes
Satan
6) Consequence of Abraham’s Mistake

① Failed to restore the Foundation of Faith


② 400 years of slavery in Egypt ( Period of punishment and of separating Satan )
   To indemnify the 400 years from Noah to Abraham
③ Providence prolonged through 3 generations through Isaac to Jacob
(Offering of Isaac )

If the Symbolic Offering had been Successful,


The Foundation of Substance would have been laid
centering on Ishmael and Isaac.
(3) Abraham’s Offering of Isaac

•Abraham — The one who failed ( Same as fallen Adam )


•Principle of God’s Providence — A person who fails is not used a second time
• as a central figure
•However, He ordered Abraham after his failure in the symbolic offering to offer
•Isaac (Gen. 22/2)

1) Why God gave Abraham another chance

① Principle condition requiring providence to restore the Foundation to Receive


the Messiah be completed on third attempt.
② Satan had attacked both Adam and his son Cain, defiling the family
over the course of two generations.
Hence, according to the principle of restoration through indemnity,
God could work to take back Abraham and his son Isaac
over the course of two generations.
③ On the basis of the foundation of shimjung whereby Abel and Noah were
successful in their symbolic offerings.
2) Condition for Abraham’s Offering of Isaac
① Position of Adam’s Family

Canaan       Gerar Kingdom

Abraham Sarah Abimelech

Adam Eve Archangel

② Position of Noah’s Family


( Satanic world ) ( Heavenly world )
Wife
Noah Children Earth Ark
Animals

Wife
Abraham Lot Gerar Canaan
Wealth
3) Offering of Isaac
① 3 day course – period of separating Satan ( new beginning)
② Tried to kill him – To separate him from Satan
③ Did not kill him – Because Isaac was separated from Satan
Abraham’s absolute faith ( Loyalty )
Isaac’s absolute faith (Obedience)
④ Now I know! ( revealed God’s reproach to Abraham for his
earlier failure in the symbolic offering and His joy over
the successful offering of Isaac)
4) Results of the Successful Offering of Isaac
① Abraham died symbolically, Isaac is the resurrected Abraham
② Abraham and Isaac are as one person
③ Isaac can make the symbolic offering as the central figure for the foundation of faith

5) Foundation of Faith Centered on Isaac


① Central Figure : Isaac ( Abraham )
② Object for the Condition: Ram ( Gen. 22/13 )
2. Foundation of Substance
(1) Central Figure : Jacob Adam
① Individual : Restored birthright Cain Abel
( Elder brother Esau )
   Blessing ( Father Isaac )
Noah
   ② Family: Restored family in Haran
   ③ Dominion over the Creation: Restored wealth Shem Ham
Brought archangel to submission

(2) Condition : Substantial Offering Abraham

3. Result
(1) Isaac’s family horizontally restored the indemnity conditions
accumulated vertically from the time of Adam’s family

•Adam, Eve ⇒ Adultery


Adam’s •Cain, Abel ⇒ Murder
Family •Archangel ⇒ Lying ( Treachery, Theft )

Restored
through •Abraham, Isaac ⇒ Restored Eve (Did not commit adultery )
Indemnity •Jacob, Joseph ⇒ Restored Adam ( Did not commit adultery )
In Abraham’s •Joseph ⇒ Indemnified Murder ( Loved his enemy, restored wealth)
Family

Jacob’s victory brought about the Rise of the Chosen People


(2) Through Jacob’s Victory
1) Rise of the Chosen People ( Abraham’s descendents became the Chosen People )
2) God’s Side (Abel) Subjugated Satan’s Side (Cain)
3) Jacob’s course is the model course to subjugate Satan
4) The history of Israel is central in the history of the providence of restoration
5) God of 3 generations ( Exodus 3/6 ): From the providential viewpoint,
3 generations are the same as 1 generation

Abraham Isaac Jacob

One Generation
The person to walk the central path in all courses of indemnity
is the Abel-type central figure of the Substantial Offering.
( Abel, Ham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph )
(3) Prolongation of the Providence
1) Through Jacob’s victory,
the Foundation to Receive the Messiah was established, but…
Satan’s side – National foundation was established
God’s side – Family foundation was established

The Messiah can come only when the National Foundation is established

2) Abraham’s failure in making the Symbolic Offering


  ⇒ 400 years of slavery in Egypt still left to do

The Foundation to Receive the Messiah was


successfully established in Abraham’s family,
but the Messiah could not come.

※ Foundation to Receive the Messiah is needed until the Messiah comes


II. Lessons
1. Human portion of responsibility is necessary in Fulfilling the Will

2. Lessons to Note
① Small mistake made – Greater indemnity condition required
② Divide yourself in two to separate good from evil
③ Cooperation between mother and son
④ Be careful of small mistakes – thinking “Surely not” causes mistakes

3. The Path to Heaven


① Jacob ⇒ With blood, sweat, tears, devotion and effort
He did his utmost for Esau (for 21 years)
② Esau ⇒ Obedience, submission

4. Everything is decided in the moment

The relationship between moment and lifetime.

Introduction
1 . Moses and Jesus in the Providence of Restoration
Amos 3:7 : "Surely the Lord God does nothing, without revealing his secret
to his servants the prophets.”

Bible =   Secrets concerning God's work of salvation

<the way for fallen people to walk>   subjugation of Satan

① Jacob's Course (in symbolic form) : the model course to bring Satan to submission
by submitting Esau (Amos 3:7)
②Moses’ Course (in the level of image) : the national course to bring Satan to
submission (Acts 3:22)
③Jesus’ Course (in the substantial level) : to pioneer the path to bring Satan to
substantial submission; and educate all people to follow this path and bring Satan to
submission (John 5:19)
2 . The model course to bring Satan to submission

(1) Why Jacob's Course and Moses' Course Were Set Up


as the Models for Jesus' Course

① Satan, who does not meekly surrender even before


God
Satan God, would by no means readily surrender to Jesus,
much less to ordinary believers.
Jesus ② God, who takes responsibility for human beings, whom
He created, called upon Jacob and worked through him
Man to show us, in symbolic form, the course for bringing
Satan to submission.
③ Jesus who came as the ancestor of humankind brought Satan
to submission by following the courses of Jacob and Moses.
Angel By following Jesus' course, people of faith can also bring
Satan to submission.
(2) Jacob's Course as the Model for Moses' and Jesus' Courses

1. Overview of the Providence Led by Moses
The basic principle of the providence of restoration is identical.

1 . The differences from the previous providence


①Family level ⇒ National level (difference in the scope)
②Age of the Providence to lay the foundation for restoration ⇒ Age of the providence of restoration
③Symbolic offering ⇒ God’s Words (Condition of indemnity)

2 . Position of Moses (Uniqueness)


①Representative of God(Exod.4:16, 7:1) – Moses = God
②Model for Jesus(Gen.37:5-11 ) – Incarnation of God = Jesus
③Moses’ course – Model for Jesus’ course
Moses – course in the level of image (Deut.18:18) ; Growth & death
Jesus – course in substantial level (John.5:19) : Growth & death

3 . Unbelief by the nation leads to the prolongation to three courses.

2. The First National Course to Restore Canaan

1 . Foundation of ① Central figure = Moses (Pharaoh)


Faith ② Object for the condition = 40-year palace life
(unshakable loyalty & fidelity to God of Abraham, reason)

2 . Foundation of ① Central figure = Moses


Substance ② Condition = Indemnity condition to remove the fallen nature
(The Israelites should stand in the position to love and respect,
believe and follow Moses.)

3 . Providence for Moses’ act of killing an Egyptian


the Start ① to show the Israelites Moses’ patriotism and let them believe in him
 ② to cut off Moses’ attachment to Egypt
 ③ to restore through indemnity by Satan side on the position of eldest
son

The whole period


Egypt Canaan
Course of faith of all humankind
To follow with absolute faith, love and obedience

Unbelief of Israelites(Exod.2:15) ⇒ Prolonged to 21-month course(Exod.13:17)


3. The Second National Course to Restore Canaan
1.Foundation of Faith ① Central figure = Moses (Jethro)
② Object for the condition = 40-year period in the
wilderness of Midian (Exod.3:7-10 Moses’ calling)

2 . Foundation of Substance ① Central figure = Moses


② Object for the condition = Indemnity condition to
remove the fallen nature (The Israelites should stand
in the position to love and respect, obey and receive
Moses.)

3 . Providence for the Start: Power of three signs & ten plagues
① To restore through indemnity the position of the eldest son

defiled by Satan
② To cut off the Israelites’ attachment to Egypt
③ To let the Israelites know that Moses was sent by God
④ The Israelites had already completed the due indemnity period
of
400 years as slaves in Egypt (Exod.12:41)
⑤ God heard the Israelites’ cries and groaning (Exod.2:24-25)
(1) Representative of the Word(Exod.4:10)

Moses God

Exod.4/14 Aaron Miriam Exod.15:20 Jesus Holy Spirit John.1/14

(Representative of the Word) (Incarnation of the Word)

(2) God tried to kill Moses (Circumcision)


God tried to kill Moses ⇒ Moses’ wife Zipporah circumcised their son.

① To indemnify by shimjung Adam’s betrayal against God


Reason ② To set up the condition that Moses started by his own will
③ To foreshow that Jesus would also survive by the mother’s help
(3) Circumcision
Circumcision of Moses’ sons →saved his family → enable the Israelites’ Exodus
When Jesus will come → circumcision of Israelites → enable God to save them  

1) The meaning of circumcision


① To signify removing the blood of death
② To signify the restoration of man’s right of dominion
③ To signify the restoration of mankind as God’s true children

2) Three types of circumcision


① Circumcision of the heart (Deut.10:16)
② Circumcision of the foreskin (Gen.17:10)
③ Circumcision of all things (Lev.19:23)
(4) Three signs (Exod.4:3-9)
1) Aaron’s Staff →   Serpent (Restoration of Adam)

God Jesus Symbol


Meaning of the staff:



Supporter, Protector, Guide
Moses Staff → Serpent (John 3:14, Matt.10:16 Wisdom)

Pharaoh’s Staff → Serpent


2) Moses’ hand →   leprous (Restoration of Eve)
Incurable disease (leprosy) ⇒ Fall of Eve
Complete recovery (Complete restoration) ⇒ Symbol of Holy Spirit
Restoration of Holy Spirit – Providence of redemption of all mankind

3) Water of the Nile → Blood (Restoration of Children)

Inorganic substance Organic substance Symbolize people of faith


(Fallen humanity) (Living humanity) Restore children of life

Result : Restoration of Four Position Foundation


(Restoration of Three Great Blessings)
(5) Ten plagues (Exod.7:14 ~ 11:10)
1) Meaning : to foreshadow that Jesus would come with miracles and signs to save God’s
chosen people.
2) Reason : Laban cheated Jacob ten times during his 21-year hardship in Haran.(Gen.31:7)
In Moses’ time ⇒ Egyptians cheated Israelites ten times (for 30 years)

3) Contents
①The water of the Nile was hit ⇒ to be changed into blood (Exod. 7/17)
  
②Frogs(8/2) ③Dust⇒Lice(8/16) ④Fly(8/21)
⑤Livestock killed by plague (9/3)  
⑥Boils (9/9) ⑦Hail(9/18) ⑧Locust(10/4)
⑨Darkness(10/22)   ⑩ Killing all the firstborn among Egyptians
(11/5)
4) God hardened the Pharaoh’s heart after each plague
①Pharaoh : to make his best efforts to hold on to Israelites;
so as to realize his powerlessness ⇒ natural surrender
②Israelites ⇒ to cut off their attachment to Egypt

God wanted to show He was on the Israelites’ side through


the defeat of Satanic side and victory of God’s side.

5 . The Providence of Restoration and the Tabernacle
(1) 40-day fast & the two tablets of stone
(2) The significance of the two tablets of stone & the Tabernacle
1) Two tablets of stone : Jesus & H.S. – Heaven & Earth
2) Tabernacle : representation of Jesus in symbol Offering      Word
3) Structure of the Tabernacle
(Foundation of (Providence of
restoration) restoration)

Holy of Holies
Tabernacle

Mercy seat Ark of the Holy place


Covenant Symbol of Messiah

Spirit Flesh
Heaven Earth
(3) Ark of the covenant (placed in the Holy of Holies)

① Two tablets of stone : Jesus & H.S. (Symbolizing Heaven & Earth)
② Manna (in a golden urn) : Main staple of the Israelites, symbolizing the body of Jesus
③ Golden Urn: to symbolize the glory of God
④ Aaron’s staff with budding: demonstrates God’s power to the Israelites

〇 The Ark represented the cosmos, on a large scale, and the


Tabernacle, on a smaller scale.

① The mercy seat placed on top of the Ark of the Covenant


② Two cherubim made of hammered gold : placed on either of the mercy seat.;
   God promised He would personally appear between the cherubim, to give
 
   guidance to the Israelites.
③ Cherubim had blocked fallen Adam’s way to tree of life.
④ It foreshowed that everyone would be able to come through the divided
cherubim before Jesus, the tree of life, and receive the fullness of God’s Word
⑤ Holy of Holies –only the high priest could enter only once a year
when making a sacrifice of the Day of Atonement

Matt.27:52 : The curtain in the Tabernacle was torn in two when Jesus was crucified.
This meant that Jesus' crucifixion laid the basis for spiritual salvation, when the gate was opened
between spirit and flesh, or between heaven and earth.

⑥ God’s purpose to give the Tabernacle

a) The Israelites are to complete the restoration of Canaan


b) The Israelites continued not to believe
c) Even Moses might act faithlessly as he is human.
d) God needed an unchangeable object of faith, even if man fell faithless.
e) It means that as long as even one person revered the object with absolute faith,
God could continue the providential Will through that person.

Result : Failure of the Second National Course to Restore Canaan


4. The Third National Course to Restore Canaan
1 . Providence centered on Moses
(1) Foundation of Faith

② Object for the condition = 40-year wandering in the wilderness of Sinai
(honoring the Tabernacle with faith and loyalty) .
(2) Foundation of Substance
①Central figure = Moses
②Condition

Israelites Moses Israelites Moses

(3) Providence for the start: Water from the Rock


(4) Moses’ Twice Striking the Rock
1) The reason striking the rock twice constituted a sin
① It set up the condition to enable Satan ‘s invasion if the nation falls in faithlessness.
② It indicated that Satan may strike Jesus who will come as the rock in substance.
③ Hence Moses’ twice striking the rock became a remote cause of Jesus’ crucifixion.

Moses – faithlessness of the Israelites  →  broke the tablets of stone


⇒  十 Indication of possibility of Jesus’ death by crucifixion (created resentment in
people’s hearts).
Jesus – faithlessness of Jewish people  →  Consequential death of Jesus by crucifixion
2) Why couldn’t Moses’ mistake of twice striking the rock be restored?
Tablet of stone (Exod.31:18): inscribed the Ten Commandments,
the center of Mosaic law
Christ Jesus
Rock (I Cor.10:4): Root of the tablets of stone, Root of Jesus
(symbolizing God)

It could not be restored as it resulted in striking Jesus (God) as the root of the
tablets of stone.

Rock Moses Rock

3) Why did the rock Moses struck twice in anger, still yield water?

• On the foundation of nation’s drinking the water at Rephidim in the Second Course.
• Although the second dispensation based on the rock was invaded by Satan externally due to Moses'
outward act of faithlessness, it remained sound internally due to his unchanged loyalty to Heaven.
• Moses' and Joshua's internal attitude of unswerving faith and devotion to the ideal of the
Tabernacle. (Devotion of Joshua and Caleb)
4) Results of twice striking the rock
1) Internal Israelites ⇒ could enter Canaan;
External Israelites ⇒ died in the wilderness (Deut. 34:4,5)
2) Nation’s faithlessness ⇒ Rock was possessed by Satan.  
Satan challenged Jesus as the Rock in substance with three temptations. (Matt.4:1-11)
3) Moses’ flesh – dead (by striking twice) : Jesus’ flesh – crucifixion (unbelief)
  “    spirit – entered Canaan       :    “   spirit – resurrection (salvation)
4) Fiery serpents (Rev.12:9) ⇒ Death of faithless nation;
Bronze serpent (John 3:14) ⇒ Salvation of repentant nation
5) Joshua succeeded to Moses’ mission.
6) After Moses’ twice striking the rock due to the nation’s faithlessness :
①Moses: Twice striking ⇒ He couldn’t enter Canaan. (Num.20:12)
⇒ He desperately prayed and begged God (Deut.3:25)          
  ⇒ He died outside the borders to Canaan. ⇒ None knew the place of his burial. (Deut.
34:6)
②Jesus: Nation’s unbelief ⇒ to the way of crucifixion ⇒ Desperate prayer to avoid the fate
(Matt.26:39) ⇒ Death on the Cross ⇒ His corpse was lost after death.
2 . The Foundation of Substance Centered on Joshua
(1) Scouting of Jericho
Two scouts reported faithfully. ⇒ Israelites became one centering on Joshua.
The scouts completed the mission, with the help of the harlot Rahab who sheltered them,
on the foundation of shimjung of the two.

Moses → Joshua (as Moses’ successor) Jesus → Lord of the Second Advent

(3) 12 stones set up in the camp of Gilgal (Josh.4:20)

① 12 stones were taken from the very place where the priests’ feet
stood in the Jordan River to set up as a stone alter in Gilgal.
② Jacob built a stone alter wherever he went…
(as a altar of prayer to praise God)
③ 12 tribes of Jacob’s descendents follow their ancestor and set up 12 stones,
which foreshowed they would construct the Holy Temple.
④ This foreshadowed that the twelve disciples of Jesus should join
together and honor Jesus as the Temple.
⑤ God stopped giving manna at this point ⇒ From this time forth the
Israelites were to make a living with their own sweat.
(4) The Conquest of Jericho
① Israelites obeyed God’s command to march.
40,000 soldiers – 7 priests (blowing 7 trumpets)
- the Ark of covenant ー the rest of the Israelites

② Method
Marching around once a day for 6 days; on the 7th day, after circling the city
wall the 7th time, Joshua ordered them to raise a great shout toward the city.

③ The conquest of Jericho foreshadowed that by the power of Christ and


the work of his followers, the satanic barrier between Heaven and earth
will crumble.

(5) Joshua defeated 31 kings


This foreshadowed that Christ will come as the King of Kings to build the
unified Kingdom of Heaven on earth by bringing all gentile kings to complete
surrender and winning the hearts of their people.
5. Lessons
1 . Renewed understanding for the history of the Old Testament Age
  It was thought merely as a record of Moses’ life and Israel’s history.
• God intended to reveal by this account certain secrets of the providence of restoration.
• Jesus passed away without divulging the true significance of Moses' course. (John 5:19)
• Moses walked the model course or formula course for the providence of restoration.
• We cannot but come to the conclusion that God exists and has been guiding human
history toward the realization of one absolute purpose.

2 . God's predestined Will cannot be achieved through the person entrusted with
its
fulfillment if he does not complete his portion of responsibility.

3 . Increased condition of indemnity

4 . The greater one's mission, the greater the test one will face.
5. Everything is decided in the moment:
The relationship between moment and lifetime: one moment can fulfill or fail a
lifetime of work.
6 . When God is about to give grace, He puts the person through a test,
either before or after the grace, to prevent Satan's accusation.

① 40-year living in Pharaoh’s palace  ⇒ The first course of Exodus


② 40-year living in the wilderness of Midian  ⇒  The second course of Exodus
③ The test in which God tried to kill Moses  ⇒  The three signs and ten plagues
④ 3-day journey  ⇒  The pillars of cloud and fire
⑤ The Red Sea  ⇒  Manna and quail
⑥ The battle with the Amalekites  ⇒  The tablets of stone, the Tabernacle, and
the Ark of covenant
⑦ 40-year wandering in the wilderness  ⇒ The water from the rock
⑧ The fiery serpent ⇒   The bronze serpent

Introduction
In the beginning, Adam should have governed the angels (I Cor.6:3) , but
due to his fall, human beings came under Satan's dominion and formed a
hellish world. To restore this through indemnity, Jesus came as the second
Adam to personally bring Satan to submission and establish the Kingdom of
Heaven. However, Satan, who does not submit even to God, would by no
means readily yield to Jesus and people of faith. Therefore, taking
responsibility for having created human beings, God raised up Jacob and
Moses and revealed through them the model course by which Jesus could
subjugate Satan.

Jacob walked the symbolic course to bring Satan to submission, while Moses
walked the image course. Their courses pioneered the way for Jesus to walk
the substantial course. In walking the worldwide course to restore Canaan,
Jesus followed the model demonstrated in the national course to restore
Canaan when Moses was working to subjugate Satan.
 
1.Foundation to Receive the Messiah
For fallen people to be restored to their original state, we must receive the Messiah.
Before we can receive the Messiah, we must first establish the Foundation to Receive the
Messiah.
Without the Foundation to Receive the Messiah, fallen people will kill the coming Messiah.

2 . The Second Worldwide Course to Restore Canaan
(1) The foundation of faith
1) Central figure : Jesus (who takes on the mission of John the Baptist)
John the Baptist gave the baptism to Jesus at the Jordan River. (John 1:29)
2) Object for the condition : 40-day fast & three temptations

(2) Three temptations


1) The cause behind Jesus’ three temptations
Remote cause : Moses’ act of striking the rock twice and breaking the tablets of stone
Immediate cause : Faithlessness of John the Baptist (Failure of Elijah-type central figure)

2) Satan’s purpose in giving Jesus the three temptation:


To prevent Jesus from restoring the three blessings and accomplishing the purpose of creation.

Purpose of Messiah’s advent = Purpose of creation = Three great blessings = Three


temptations

The cause behind Satan’s taking a dominant position to impose temptations on Jesus

⇒ Moses’ act of striking the rock twice and breaking the tablets of stone
led Satan to claim possession of them.
3) Significance of the three temptations
① The first temptation – in the wilderness
Stone = Jesus
Satan : Stone      Bread Satan meant for Jesus to give up
the position of Messiah.
Jesus : Word Bread

Jesus(Rev.2:17)
Result : Jesus fulfilled the condition of indemnity to restore the first blessing;
and establish the basis for the restoration of the position as the Messiah.

② The second temptation – at the pinnacle of Temple


Satan : “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down.”

Jesus : “You shall not tempt the Lord your God.” God : Invisible owner

Jesus : Substantial owner


Result : Jesus fulfilled the condition of
indemnity to restore the second blessing; and Angel
establish the basis for the restoration of children. : Servant
③ The third temptation – high mountain top

Satan : “I will give you all things if you worship me.”


Jesus : “You shall worship and serve only the Lord your Satan tempted Jesus
God.” to bow down to him as Adam
Result : Jesus fulfilled the condition of indemnity to had bowed down to him in the
restore the third blessing; and establish beginning.
the basis for dominion over the natural world.

④ As a result of Jesus’ victory in the three temptations:

〇 Jesus restored through indemnity all that had been offered to God over the course of the

providence for the purpose of laying the foundation of faith


〇 Jesus set up the condition for the fulfillment of God’s three great blessings and the
restoration of the four position foundation.

Failure of the second course


3 . The Third Worldwide Course to Restore Canaan

(1) When even Jesus’ disciples as well as the other Jewish people became
faithless to him who came as the substantial Tabernacle and the temple, Jesus
had no choice other than to allow his physical body to be crucified.

(2) As a consequence, the Jewish people lost the one who should have been the
spiritual and physical focus of their faith. They no longer had a basis upon which
to begin the third worldwide course to restore Canaan as a substantial course.

(3) Christians, as the Second Israel, were to begin this course as a spiritual course
by exalting the resurrected Jesus as their focus of faith.
4 . Spiritual Course to Restore Canaan centering on Jesus
(The Spiritual Foundation to Receive the Messiah)

(1) The Spiritual Foundation of Faith

1) Central figure : Resurrected Jesus (standing in the position of John the Baptist in
spirit)
Jesus resurrected three days after his death on the cross
(to restore the position of spiritual true parent).

2) Object for the condition : Jesus as a substantial spirit

1) Purpose of God’s in sending the Messiah : Salvation for all humanity


2) Satan’s purpose : to kill Jesus even if it meant relinquishing his hold on
humanity.
① For the salvation of humanity that had conspired with Satan, God gave Jesus to Satan as
payment for their sins.
② Satan exercised his maximum power to kill Jesus so as to interrupt the way of
physical salvation.
③ God, by the basic principle of restoration through indemnity, exercised His maximum power
to resurrect Jesus (path to spiritual salvation completed).

2. Lessons
1 . God’s predestination of His Will is absolute;
Accomplishment of His predestination by human is conditional.

2 . The greater a person's mission, the greater the test he will confront.
① Since Adam became faithless and forsook God, Jesus had to restore Adam's
mistake by enduring when God forsook him, all the while showing unchanging faith.
② Therefore, Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness and forsaken by God
on the cross. (Temptation in the wilderness; trial on the cross)

3 . Even suffering on the cross, Jesus lived for God and His Will. “not by my
will
but yours (God’s).”

Introduction
Does God live in the history?
If God lives, how does He work?
And what kind of principle does He work with?

(1)   Parallel Providential Periods


1 . What does “parallel” mean?
  We find cases where the various circumstances of a period in history are
repeated in similar form during a later age.
This term was first used by a famous historian, Arnold Joseph Toynbee, who
could not reveal its reason.

(1) How do parallel providential periods come about?

When a central figure fails his responsibility, his failure must be restored through
indemnity.
Therefore the periods come to be parallel to one another.

⑤The Christian empire began to divide in the third generation.
Charlemagne's grandsons (Louis II, Charles II) partitioned it into three kingdoms:
the East Franks, the West Franks and Italy (which became ruled by East Frank later) .
(4) ①The United Kingdom - Divided in the third generation into two kingdoms
400 y.
② Cain – 10 tribes –The kingdom of Israel - 19 kings - 260 years
of the
Divided Abel - 2 tribes– The kingdom of Judah - 20 kings - 394 years
Kingdom Northern Kingdom of Israel :
of North & Founded by Jeroboam, who had lived in exile in the days of King Solomon
South 〇 The Royal Families changed nine times, No King was righteous in the sight of God
〇 God sent the prophet Elijah - Prevailed in the contest with 850 prophets of Baal and
Asherah on Mt. Carmel when God sent down fire upon the altar.
〇 Other Prophets, including Elisha, Jonah, Hosea and Amos, spread the Word of God at
the risk of their lives – The Kings did not repent
〇 God had the Assyrians destroy them and took away their qualification as the chosen
people forever.
Southern Kingdom of Judah :
Founded by Solomon’s son, Rehoboam.
〇 The Royal house continued in one dynastic line from David to Zedekiah, producing many
righteous kings out of the twenty who ruled the kingdom for 394 years.
〇 A succession of evil kings after King Josiah, combined with influence from the northern
kingdom, led to much idolatry and corruption –The People were taken into exile in Babylon.
③ God sent 4 great & 12 small prophets to move nation - Repentance and Internal Reform.
④ The kings and the people did not heed the warnings of the prophets
- God chastised them externally by sending gentile nations such as Syria, Assyria and
Babylon to attack them.
⑤ End of the monarchy of the chosen people of Israel
(The Gentile nations took the people of Judah into exile)
① The Christian empire also began to divide in the third generation East Frank (Italy)
400 y. West Frank

of ③ The Papacy was corrupt - God sent prominent monks to admonish the
East &
papacy
West
(St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Francis of Assisi) – (Internal Reform in the Church)
④ The Papacy and the Church did not repent, but sank further into corruption
and immorality - God chastised them externally - letting their people fight the
Muslims in the Crusades.
While Jerusalem and the Holy Land were under the protection of the Abbasid
Caliphate,
Christian pilgrims were received with hospitality
- After the Caliphate collapsed and the Holy Land was conquered by the cries of alarm
went out that Christian pilgrims were being harassed by Seljuk Turks
- Outraged, the popes raised the Crusades to recover the Holy Land.
There were eight Crusades, beginning in 1095 and continuing sporadically for about
200
years. Despite some initial success, the Crusaders were defeated again and again.
⑤ Monarchic Christianity began to erode
The papacy had completely lost its prestige and credibility
- Christianity thus lost its center of spiritual
sovereignty
The lords and knights who had maintained feudal society were decimated by the
Crusades - Feudal society lost its political power and vigor.
Since the papacy and the feudal lords had spent enormous funds to pursue these

Introduction

(1) Period : 1517 ~ 1918 (400 years)

(2) Divided into three periods:

①   The Period of the Reformation


[1517 ~ 1648 (130 years) ]

②   The Period of Religious and Ideological Conflicts


[1648 ~ 1789 (140 years) ]
c.
③ The Period of Maturation of Politics, Economy and Ideology

[1789 ~ 1918 (130 years) ]


1 . The Period of the Reformation
(1) Outline
1) 1)The 130-year period of the Reformation : began in 1517, when Martin Luther raised the
banner of the Protestant Reformation in Germany, and lasted until the wars of religion
were settled by the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648.

2) The character of this period :


Shaped by the Renaissance and the Reformation, both products of medieval feudal
society.

3) Causes for the rise of Reformation & Renaissance


Medieval feudalism
Resistance against the repression to human
Causes for rise Secularization of
original nature
the Roman church

Two types of
External → Movement for a revival of Hellenism → Renaissance
desires of
human original Internal → Movement for a revival of Hebraism → Reformation
nature
(2) Renaissance
① The Renaissance came to life in fourteenth-century Italy
(the center of the study of the classical Hellenic heritage)
② Movement imitating the thought and life of ancient Greece and Rome
Movement which transformed the medieval way of life
③ Encompass every aspect of society, politics, economic life and religion.
It became the external driving force for the construction of the modern world.

(3) Reformation
①The secularization and decadence of the Church leadership was the cause
(Rebellion against the ritualism and rules of the Church, the stratified feudal system and papal authority

which deprived them of autonomy, under the influence of the Renaissance)


② Revival of the spirit of early Christianity
③When the indulgences which Pope Leo X began selling was proclaimed in 1517, a movement to
protest
this abuse ignited a fuse to explode in the Protestant Reformation under the leadership of Martin
Luther.
④ The wars of religion which swirled around the Protestant movements continued for more than 100
years until 1648, when the Treaty of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years' War which was fought on the
soil of Germany.
2 . The Period of Religious and Ideological Conflicts
(1) Outline
1) The period of religious and ideological conflicts refers to the 140 years beginning with

the secure establishment of Protestantism at the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 and


ending with the French Revolution in 1789.
2)
   Two movements of Reformation and Renaissance brought people internal and external

freedom to pursue the internal and external desires flowing from their original nature.
3) As people exercised freedom of faith and thought, they could not avoid divisions in
theology and disputes among philosophers.

4) God has worked His providence of restoration throughout the course of history
by repeatedly separating those representing Abel from those representing Cain,
from the individual level to the world level.
→ In the Last Days, this fallen world is divided into the Cain-type communist world
and the Abel-type democratic world.
(2) The Cain-type View of Life (Humanism)

1) The pursuit of the external aspects of the original nature first aroused a movement to
revive the ancient heritage of Hellenism and gave birth to the humanism of the Renaissance.
2) All matters in human life came to be judged by reason or empirical observation.

3) Instead of facilitating the internal inclination to seek God, it gave birth to a view of life
which encouraged people to follow only external pursuits.
This blocked their path to God and led them toward Satan's realm.
4) As a result, Nature and Man were separated from God.

5) Cain-type view led medieval people to the direction to separate from God and cease the
faith in God.

6) Historical figures of Cain-type view of life:


D .F Strauss, L. Feuerbach, Karl Marx, F. Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedong

7) Cain-type view of life, which budded after the Renaissance and grew through the
Enlightenment into atheism and materialism, matured into the godless ideology of
Marxism, which became the cornerstone of the communist world of today.
(3) The Abel-Type View of Life

1) The original nature of medieval people not only pursued external values; it also sought internal values.
2) As medieval people were prompted by their original nature to pursue internal values,
a movement arose to revive Hebraism which bore fruit in the Protestant Reformation
3) The Abel-type view of life guided modern people to seek God in a deeper and more thoughtful way.
4) Historical figures of Abel-type view of life:
Immanuel Kant, J. G. Fichte, Friedrich Schelling, Hegel
5) Cain-type world : Communism In order to form these two types of world today, the two
Abel-type world : Democracy types of view of life were established.

Conclusion,
The Man’s view of life: Either Cain-type or Abel-type.
3 . The Period of Maturation of Politics,
Economy and Ideology
This period lasted for 130 years from the French Revolution, through the Industrial
Revolution, to the end of the First World War. (1789 ~ 1918)

(1) Maturation of Politics

①Satan was defectively mimicking an aspect of the Principle ahead of its realization
by God.
②According to the principle of creation, The universe is patterned after the
structure of a perfect human being.
③The ideal world to be built by fully mature people is also to resemble the
structure and functions of a perfect individual.
Human body: Brain ⇒ Spinal cord ⇒ Peripheral nervous system ⇒ Every part of the body
Ideal society: God ⇒ Lord of Second Advent ⇒ Follower (Stomach, Heart, Lung) ⇒ Economic system
Human body : Vertical relationship the brain ; Horizontal relation with each other.
Ideal society: Vertical relationship with God ; Horizontal relationship with each other.
④Process of Restoration of Separation of Powers :
Monopoly of powers by king ⇒ King (Powers) + Church as Party (Church dominates people)
⇒ Party politics with separation of powers ⇒ Ideal society ruled by God’s Word
⑤Conclusion : Realization of ideal society by the principle of 3-stage development.
(2) Maturation of Economy
1) Significance of Industrial Revolution

God’s Ideal World without sin


of creation Pleasant living environment

The Industrial Revolution which began in England arose to restore the


living environment to one suitable for the ideal world.

2) Industrial Revolution To restore the external living environment for the ideal society;
To contribute to the internal aspect of providence of restoration
for the propagation of the Gospel.

(3) The Rise of the Great Powers & Colonies


Industrial As markets for superabundant products The great powers felt an urgent
Revolution As source of industrial raw material need to pioneer new colonies.

Consequently the great powers grew strong rapidly as they competed with each
other in the scramble for colonies.
(for reference) The ideal world resembles the structure of a healthy human body.

Internal cause: Internal tendency toward the Will of God
External cause : Intention to respond the situation one
faces
2) The World Wars
Internal cause : God’s providence
External cause : Politics, Economy, Ideology

3) Internal cause of the World Wars


① Satan’s last desperate struggle to preserve his sovereignty
② Worldwide indemnity conditions to restore the three great blessings
③ To overcome Jesus’ three temptations on the world level
④ To fulfill the worldwide indemnity condition to restore God’s sovereignty
(2) Significance of the World Wars
  World War I (Land) ; World War II (People) ; World War III (Ideology)
1) Providential significance of the World Wars
 ①  Politics : Ideological confrontation
 ②  Economy : Scramble for land
 ③  Providence : Conflict between God and Satan (or, between good and evil)
Substance is a shadow of invisible essence. (Heb.8:5)
An Invisible being cannot act without substance. Conflict
God - intends to set up His ideal of creation (restoration)   -  Good between
Satan - intends to prevent himself from being deprived sovereignty  Evil good & evil

1. In What Manner Will Christ Return ?
1 . Will the Second Advent occur when Jesus comes to dwell within the hearts of
people through the descent of the Holy Spirit? (Act 8:16 ~ 17)
The descent of the Holy Spirit is not the Second Advent of Christ.
Although Jesus has been dwelling with the hearts of faithful believers ever since
his resurrection and the Holy Spirit’s descent at Pentecost (Act 2:4) ,
the fact of their eager waiting for his Second Coming all the way until today
firmly indicates that the descent of the Holy Spirit is not the Second Coming.

2 . Will Jesus return as a spirit?


Even though the apostle John had frequent encounters with the resurrected
Jesus who appeared in spirit, Jesus said to John, “Surely I am coming soon,”
to which John replied, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!”(Rev.22:20) .
This shows that Christ at his Second Advent will not come as a spirit.

3 . Will Christ return on the Clouds? (Matt.4:30, Rev.1:7)


Will Jesus really return on clouds?
We should examine it against historical facts, as the history is a mirror for the
future as well as a witness of the past.

(6) Poem ‘A light of the East’(1927) by Rabindranath Tagore
(who awarded Nobel prize in Literature in 1913.)

In the golden age of Asia


Korea was one of its lamp - bearers
And that lamp is waiting to be lighted once again
For the illumination in the East.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high ; Hope
Where knowledge is free ;
Where the world has not been broken up
into fragments by narrow domestic walls ; Unification
Where words come out from the depth of truth ; Truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection ; Perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
into the dreary desert sand of dead habit ; Eternity

Where the mind is led forward by thee into


ever-widening thought and action --
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
Heavenly Kingdom = My Homeland
R. Tagore

In autumn's, arching evening sky, crystal, and cloudless blue,
Be the radiant moon our spirit, steadfast, single, and true.

4. Igi sangnwa imam euro chungseongeul dahayeo / Goero una jeulgeo una nara sarang hase
With such a will, (and) such a spirit, loyalty, heart and hand,
Let us love, come grief, come gladness, this, our beloved land!

[For reference 」  Prayer Poem by Rev. Sun Myung Moon in 1935
when he was 15 years old.

   Crown of Glory

When I doubt people, I feel pain.


When I judge people, it is unbearable.
When I hate people, there is no value to my existence.
Yet if I believe, I am deceived.
If I love, I am betrayed.
Suffering and grieving tonight, my head in my hands
Am I wrong?
Yes, I am wrong.
Even though we are deceived, still believe.
Though we are betrayed, still forgive.
Love completely even those who hate you.
Wipe your tears away and welcome with a smile
Those who know nothing but deceit
And those who betray without regret.
Oh Master! The pain of loving!
Look at my hands.
Place your hand on my chest.
My heart is bursting, such agony!
But when I loved those who acted against me
I brought victory.
If you have done the same thing,
I will give you the crown of glory.

A Letter from God

My beloved True Parents:


I am Jehovah, the Lord of all humankind.
My beloved Son! My beloved Son! I, Jehovah, the God of all humankind,
deeply love you and cherish you. Your heart is full of gratitude and
thankfulness, yet My gratitude and appreciation for you is beyond words.
The word “love” is inadequate to express My feelings, but no better word
comes to mind.

My beloved True Parents, you dwell deep inside My heart, and my love for
you is beyond description. You have been victorious on every level and have
restored to its proper position everything that had fallen.
Is it not fitting, therefore, that you be the Savior of humankind, the Messiah
and King of kings?
On December 25, 2001, the founders and leading figures of Christianity and the
other major religions drew up a resolution and proclaimed unanimously that, along
with you, they would participate in the realization of peace and the unity of heaven
and earth. Therefore it is only appropriate that you be exalted as the True Parents of
all humankind. This is the will of Jehovah, the God of all humankind.

Although the world’s population does not fully understand the position of the
True Parent, it must be internally secured. Hence, Jehovah, the God of all
humankind hereby bestows upon His beloved True Parents the title, King of all
kings.

You suffered incarceration many times. You took up My cross and endured
countless trials and tribulations on My behalf. Now the God of all humankind would
like to convey His gratitude, adoration and zeal to you. True Parents, I want you to
inherit everything that is Mine.
My beloved True Parents! I am taking this opportunity to convey My grateful
heart to you. I want to embrace you in My bosom and never let you go!
I would carry you on my back and never let your feet touch the ground!
I would hold you, and we would talk together all night long.
I, Jehovah the Lord of all humankind, trust you, True Parents. I know the
many heartbreaking stories of your suffering and sorrow. I know them all,
remember them all and witnessed them all. I was responsible for placing you
in those situations, yet you endured them all and set the standard of a
victorious foundation. For this accomplishment I will never forget you.
Thank you, thank you, True Parents! Thank you for your dedication and toil!

Victory to My beloved True Parents!


Victory to the Savior of humanity!
Victory to the King of kings!

Sincerely,
Jehovah, the Lord of all humankind
