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.

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.

2. From the view of the Bible ( Biblical ground )
① John16:25 :
“Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will
no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my
Father.”
② John16:12 :
“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.”
③ John16:13 :
“But when he, the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth.
He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he
will tell you what is yet to come.”
④ Rev10:10-11 :
"You must prophesy again before many peoples, nations, languages
and kings."
⑤ Luke5:38 : “ New wine must be poured into new wineskins.”
V. The Mission of the Principle
1. Solve the problems of the real world
1) Problems about existence and 7) Fundamental problems of
relationships the Bible (Denominations)
2) Problems of the family and the youth 8) Problems concerning the
3) Racial discrimination Spirit world (Life after death)
4) Religious disputes 9) Ideological problems
5) National borders (democracy, communism)
6) HIV/AIDs 10) True values
(2) Restore God’s Fatherland ( Cheon Il Guk, Blessed Families formed by all humanity )
① Know God clearly ④ Know clearly that we are fallen (sinners)
② Know the spirit world clearly ⑤ Know clearly about restoration through indemnity
③ Know True Parents clearly ⑥ Know clearly man’s portion of responsibility
The Unification Principle is not the doctrine of only the Unification Church,
but it is the principle and Heaven’s way that mankind must know and live.
「 ref.1 」
The Principle was revealed by True Parents
〇 Victorious in his fight with myriads of Satans in Heaven and on Earth, received
Heaven’s recognition (seal), went out to the world and proclaimed the life-giving Word
〇 To meet the Messiah (True Parents) : More difficult than fishing for a
specific fish in the entire Pacific ocean
〇 The Principle is the atomic bomb of True Love, the atomic bomb of eternal life, the
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.
Character of the Principle: Absolute revelation
( not documents found in a school, or constructed
only by the human brain )
「 ref. 2」
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.
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.
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.

(1) One heart, unity
(2) Purity, pure blood, pure love, pure family (absolute sex)
(3) The dutiful family way of filial son or daughter, patriot, saint and
heavenly sons
and daughters of God
(4) Love with True love and live a life resonating with True love
① True love infinitely invests and forgets.
Everything starts with investment. So there is nothing that
cannot be connected to True love.
② The foundation of True Love is the family
A true family is the basic foundation where the parents,
husband and wife and children live in relationships of
shimjung.
So the family is the training ground to develop shimjung and
true love.
It is the fundamental base on which we live lives of true love
originating in shimjung.

(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
Man ( Action )
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.
5. Love and Beauty, Good and Evil, Righteousness and
Unrighteousness
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.

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.

〇 Right to be God’s child
〇 Right to govern creation
Autonomy Creation
Principle Human Responsibility ( Owner of dominion )
Governance of Character 〇 Creator ( 2nd Creator )
( Man of Instinct ) ( Man of Character ) 〇 Take part in the
creation process
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.

philosophies differ.
2) The Relationship between the Original Mind and Conscience

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.

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,
(4) The Motivation and Process of the Fall

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.

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.

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

filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them

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) 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)

② Spirits cannot be resurrected apart from the physical self.

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.

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)
Abel = Roots
Cain = Soil
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.

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.

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
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
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. 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
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.”
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)

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)

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
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.

It could not be restored as it resulted in striking Jesus (God) as the root of the
tablets of stone.
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
Crossing the Red Sea with the staff Crossing the Jordan River with the Ark of Covenant
(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.
2 . God's predestined Will cannot be achieved through the person entrusted with
its
fulfillment if he does not complete his portion of responsibility.
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.
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
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.
Jesus : “You shall not tempt the Lord your God.” God : Invisible owner
〇 Jesus restored through indemnity all that had been offered to God over the course of the
God
Indemnity condition to
remove fallen nature
(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) 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) Last Supper and Betrayal by Judas Iscariot (Lk. 22: 15-16)
(3) Desperate prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane
O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I
will, but as thou wilt. (Matt. 26:39)
3) Jesus is arrested
6. Jesus’ sorrow
1) His own mother, whom he loved more than anyone, blocked his path to marriage.
2) The agony of Jesus in leaving the earth before establishing a lineage
3) Jesus’ han covered with blood, sweat and tears for having had to shoulder the
cross before he could accomplish his mission.
(Reference)
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).”

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.

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

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.

(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
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.
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,

(For Reference)
A Letter from God
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!
Sincerely,
Jehovah, the Lord of all humankind
