4. The first Cain Abel relationship was between
Lucifer and Adam said Father. /Prof. Oh 2012
…the principle of Cain and Abel is the fundamental
principle of the cosmos and so it is my patent.
If one understands this principle, that means they
understand 70 % of the secret of the cosmos.
All the relationships in the cosmos are based on
the principle of Cain and Abel.

5. Book of Genesis: Chapter 4:1 thru 4:16
4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel.
And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit
of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat
thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
OT
6. Book of Genesis: Chapter 4:1 thru 4:16
4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.
And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy
countenance fallen?
4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not
well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou
shalt rule over him.
4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when
they were in the field, that
Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

7. Jesus:
“I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those
who persecute you,

Cain-Abel relationships/restoration
(Lucifer/Cain being jealous of Adam/Abel)
that started directly after the Fall of Man!
And can only be restored through True Love
under free will submission.

11. Then who, between Cain and Abel, the
sons of the same father, is supposed to
stand in the position to deal with God as the
representation of good, and who is to stand
in the position to deal with Satan as the
representation of evil?
Both Cain and Abel were the fruit of Eve's
fall. Consequently, this question was to be
decided according to the course of the fall
of Eve, who was the origin of the fall.
DP73
12. Eve's fall consisted of two kinds of illicit love
affairs.
The first one was the spiritual fall through
love with the archangel.
The second was the physical fall through
love with Adam.
Both are, of course, the same in that they
are fallen actions. However, when we want
to decide which is more aligned with the
Principle and more forgivable, we must say
that the second act is more so than the first.
DP73
13. This is because the second act of the fall
was that in which Eve had intercourse with
Adam, who was going to be her spouse in
the Principle, out of her desire to go back to
God's side after realizing the illicit nature of
the relationship with the archangel
DP73
14. The first act of the fall was that in which she
had the relationship with the archangel, who
was not her spouse in the Principle, out of the
excessive desire to enjoy what it was not yet
time for her to enjoy; that is, to become like
God, with her eyes opened (Gen. 3:5).
DP73
15. Cain, being the fruit of the first love, was
placed in the position to deal with Satan, as
the representation of evil, symbolizing the first
fallen act of love with the archangel.
Abel, being the fruit of the second love, was
placed in the position to deal with God, as
the representation of good, symbolizing the
second fallen act of love with Adam.
DP73
16. There is a saying…
In Genesis 3 we saw the root of sin
and in Genesis 4 we see the fruit of sin
The ”Root of Sin” is the illicit sexual Fall of Man
The ”Fruit of Sin” is Cain slaying Abel.

26. On another visit, Mrs. Kim gave her son a set of clothes
that she had made. But he gave them away also, even
though his clothes were in tatters.
Mrs. Kim was angry. "I went to all the trouble to bring
these clothes so that you could wear them," she told her son.
"What gives you the idea that you can just disregard
my feelings and give them all away?
How can you do such a thing?"

27. Reverend Moon replied, "Mother, I am more than just a son
of the Moon family. I am also a son of the Republic of Korea
and a son of the world. Even before that, I am a son of God.
You love me as your son, but I have to love those poor
prisoners from the position of a parent representing God.
This iswhat Heaven expects.“
This was Reverend Moon's determination: "God tried to
save humankind even at the expense of sacrificing his only
son, Jesus Christ. How can I bring salvation to people if I'm
not even willing to sacrifice myself?"
A True Abel
32. Cain was traditionally considered to have red hair;
the expression "Cain-coloured beard" is used in
Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor (1602).
In addition, Shakespeare also references Cain and Abel
in Hamlet
Hamlet says "And yet this knave jowls it to the ground/as
if it were Cain's jawbone, that did the first murther!".

35. “Eve inherited from the archangel all the characteristics that
came about when the archangel committed a sexual act with
Eve against God's will. Then Adam, who entered into a blood
relationship with Eve--who in turn was in the position of the
archangel to him--came to inherit the same characteristics. In
this manner, these characteristics gave rise to the fallen nature
of man”.

41. Brother and DP Lecturer William Haynes in UK
wrote:
• Who did Cain marry?
• One of the commonest questions readers of the Bible ask is,
'who did Cain marry?'
The answer is quite simple. One of his sisters.
You see according to Jewish and Muslim traditions Eve
always gave birth to twins.
A boy and a girl each time.
So Cain, Abel and Seth were all born with twin sisters.
42. Brother and DP Lecturer William Haynes in UK
wrote:
• Commentary on the Qur’an by Ibn Isahaq (b.700)
• Cain was jealous of Abel on account of his female,
Zohar 1.36b (World Scripture p257)
• The stories in the Bible, Genesis in particular,
are very terse and there are many details that
are missing.
The Jewish rabbis have always recognised this
and over the centuries have filled in the gaps
with midrash – extra details.
43. Adam ordered his son Cain to marry his twin sister
to Abel, and he ordered Abel to marry his twin sister
to Cain.
Abel was pleased and agreed with that but Cain
refused thinking himself better than the sister of Abel.
He desired his own sister instead of Abel having her.
44. So Adam said, “Son, offer a sacrifice and your brother
Abel will offer a sacrifice.
Whichever of the two of you has his sacrifice received
by God will have the more right to her.”

45. From the time they made the preparations for the offerings,
Cain already had hatred toward Abel.
It was not that he momentarily felt hatred when God did
not receive his offering.
Rather, even before that took place, Cain hated Abel
and wanted to beat him to death.

47. The disciples well knew the status of Jesus,
that he was Christ the Messiah.
It is unbelievable how one (Judas) could do such an
inconceivable harm to a righteous man for a few pieces
of silver.
Judas wanted to marry the sister of John the Baptist,
who was providentially intended for Jesus.
Judas, in this instance, stands in the position of Cain,
representing Satan. In accordance with the Principle
of restoration, therefore, it was crucial for Jesus to retrieve
his wife from the hands of Satan.
Jesus - Judas
48. Judas knew that Jesus, as the relative of Elizabeth,
was in a better position to marry the sister of
John the Baptist; therefore, he conspired with the
Jewish Leadership, who in turn bribed him with
thirty Pieces of silver.
Source Book:
Why Evil Rules -. If God Is
by Anslie H. Abraham (UC-Brother from India)
Jesus - Judas
50. Dr. Andrew Wilson :
If Jesus was in fact married, and if his wife was also Jesus’
most devoted disciple, as The Gospel of Jesus’
Wife indicates, then Christians both on earth and in the
spirit world need to reassess their views of True Mother
(Hak Ja Han Moon).
For truly she has been True Father’s (Sun Myung Moon)
most devoted disciple and is worthy in every way.
Wolli Wonbon
1952
51. According to True Father’s first Principle text, Wolli
Wonbon (written in the early 1950s), Jesus was indeed
married to Mary Magdalene. It was a conditional marriage,
however, because Mary Magdalene also had been sleeping
with another man in the Archangel position (Judas Iscariot),
who was supposed to give her to Jesus.
Mention that Jesus would have to restore Eve in this way is
hinted at in Exposition of the Divine Principle in the
discussion of Abraham and Sarah in Egypt:
52. SunMyungMoon:
At the time of Adam, three persons fell.
After the Fall, the archangel and Eve united and expelled
the owner. However, at the Second Coming, Eve is to
separate from the archangel, unite with her sons and
daughters, and love True Parents absolutely, more than
anybody else.
These are not my words; they are the Principle viewpoint.
You have to know this clearly.
53. With whom should women and their children unite?
They must unite with the true Messiah.
Therefore, in the Last Days, there are three figures:
Eve, the archangel and Adam.
Since Eve and the archangel united in the Garden of Eden
and expelled her legal husband, at the time of restoration,
Eve becomes united with the Lord of the Second Advent
and has to expel the archangel by restoration through
indemnity.
By denying her present husband and the external,
satanic environment, she has to contribute to the history
of True Parents by herself.
/ /SMM 970102
54. Dr. Andrew Wilson contin.:
Jesus tried to set up Judas’ wife as the woman in the
position of Eve who would fulfil the original purpose of the
Will.
Mary Magdalene was this woman. Although she was Judas
Iscariot’s lover, she absolutely obeyed Jesus’ will. Thus, as
Satan had taken Eve from Adam, Jesus would try to take
Judas’ wife for himself and thereby fulfil the Will according to
the Principle.
55. When True Mother and True Father were Blessed, the
situations of Jesus’ day had to be indemnified. Certainly
there are huge differences between Mary Magdalene and
True Mother — not least that True Mother was a pure and
virginal young woman when she and Father were wed.
Nevertheless, like Jesus’ would-be wife, True Mother faced
and overcame incredible opposition from other church
members, thereby indemnifying the disciples’ rejection of
Mary Magdalene. She received all the accusation aimed at
the original Eve and then at Mary, digested it, and restored
the wife’s position.
56. Now, on the foundation of her victory, the story of Jesus’
wife can be revealed to humankind.
Don Brown’s The Da Vinci Code enjoyed extraordinary
popularity because the time has come to rehabilitate Mary
Magdalene from obscurity. She was the predecessor of
True Mother, and True Mother stands on the foundation of
her devotion to Jesus.

57. Who was Jesus' father? It is the same as Cain and Abel,
one father had two descendants.
When Mary conceived, it was in Zachariah's home,
where she stayed for six weeks.
Who is Jesus' father? (Zachariah.) I don't know!
58. You know well. You said it, not me. (Laughter.)
Now is the time for everything to be revealed,
there is nothing hidden.
We come to know the truth, it is consistent and natural
in every way. That is God's law, it is simple. SMM/1992
59. At the time of Jesus, the law was such that if any unmarried
woman were to become pregnant she was supposed to be
stoned to death.
In such a strict society, how could Jesus even think about
demanding a younger sister to become his own bride?
Let us imagine ourselves in that time when the younger
sister Mary actually took away Elizabeth's husband and
became pregnant. Then she gave birth to Jesus.
60. As Jesus grew up he was requesting to marry the younger
sister from Elizabeth's family. Can you imagine that?
It was virtually impossible, because if it had become known
to the general public then the families of Zachariah and
Jesus would have been destroyed.
/SMM1996
62. "Christians, though they talk about Cain and Abel, they
don't fully know it.
What recently impressed me (from listening to his own
speech) is it is only Yong Myung Moon (Father's original
name) that found and clarified that the principle of Cain
and Abel is the fundamental principle of the cosmos and
so it is my patent.
If one understands this principle, that means they
understand 70 % of the secret of the cosmos.
All the relationships in the cosmos are based on the
principle of Cain and Abel.
SMM/2011
64. When we look at our Unification Church, we can also
see that here there are always Cain and Abel.
Thus, God wants to reveal the words through Abel and
hopes that everyone will become one with the Abel
figure.
SMM/1957
65. However, there is someone who prevents people from
becoming one with Abel, and that person is none other
than Satan.
Consequently in order for you to live the correct life of
faith, you must learn to discuss everything with that
Abel person for the sake of becoming one with him/her.
SMM/1957
66. …someone who prevents people from becoming one
with Abel, and that person is none other than Satan.

67. From Lucifer to True Parents
I am offering this to True Parents.
I am very sorry that I gave you an extremely huge difficulty to
straighten out the countless aspects of evil history of sin that
I committed. What word would I have to tell you? Once, I,
undeserving and selfish, desired to receive the blessing.
I am very sorry for this.

71. We must restore that in which Adam failed.
We must unite the entangled and
complicated history of evil and straighten it
out.
We must feel indignant about the fact that
Cain slew Abel, and we must
go through the bloody way for Abel.
The rebellious descendants passed
1600 years under enemies' control.
SMM/4 Jun 1962
73. Up to the present moment, those who are in Abel's position
have been sacrificed by those in Cain's position. Abel is on
the side of God, while Cain is on the side of Satan.
In order to save the people in the satanic world, righteous
men on God's side have hitherto been sacrificed.
/SMM 1974
74. In every segment of history there have been Cain and
Abel relations in each level of society, and it is not
surprising to see the same thing happening now at the
end of history.
When it seems that nothing can prevent the communist
world from reaching its total objective, an Abel group,
which will begin very small, will gradually come to invade
more and more of the communist realm.
/SMM 1978
77. Ware making this home church system-the 360
homes. Home church is Cain, the external level
Then you can restore your clan - the Abel internal
level easily. Do you know what I mean?
Automatically, Cain and Abel can unite. That is
what home church is.
78. God had prepared through His providence to
unite the world centered on Christianity.
After the Second World War the struggle of Cain
and Abel should have been finished and,
centered on Christianity, the providence of God
should have been accomplished.
/SMM 19Feb 1989
80. How can we bring unification of Cain and Abel? How can
we unite the mind and body. When we look at God, the
right hand side is internal, or Abel, and the left hand side
is external, or Cain.
The Abel side may be a small seed, but it will grow from
the individual, to the family, tribe, national, and
worldwide level. The same is true for the Cain side.
81. Drawing the horizontal and the vertical line, crossing
here in the center, there will be right and left, upper and
lower. All levels on both sides must be united. God is
working to bring unity between the right and left: we
have to embrace the communist world. This is why
headwing ideology is important.
82. The four providential positions are Adam, Eve, Cain and
Abel. Cain and Abel must unite with Eve, the mother, then
these three united together can restore Adam, the father.
The dwelling of God with man becomes a reality when this
formula is accomplished on earth. Everything that was lost
because of the fall of man must be restored before
establishing the kingdom of God on earth.
83. Each blessed family is standing in the Abel
position and must save the Cain families,
which means our relatives.
Father has pioneered the victorious path and
now you can be connected.
This will create a unified world. True Parents
are the global Messiah. If you unite with this
condition, you shall become tribal messiahs,
and even eventually national messiahs.
84. My direct instruction to you this morning is the restoration
of the Cain and Abel relationship through the work of tribal
messiahship.
When your tribe accepts and respects you then they will
respect Rev. Moon and the Unification Church.
Satan is in trouble he has been trying to block us and
destroy our reputation but that will be finished when we
fulfill as tribal messiahs.
85. I have laid the worldwide foundation under all kinds of
opposition and even welcomed the persecution. What
about you? There are now many favourable conditions out
there; can you say its impossible to restore your tribe?
Today I am anointing you as tribal messiah-you can go to
your hometown, fulfil your role as tribal messiah, and bring
your tribe to our True Parents.
/SMM 19 Mar 1989
86. The importance of Cain and Abel relationships starts right
here. In God's recreation process, as well as in the original
creation process, subject and object relationship is very
important.
We see plenty of examples of this in the Bible, namely
good and bad seem to be in conflict and fight, but
eventually goodness will raise up. That is none other than
this point.
89. If the fall did not take place, in His original creation, God
would have been the subject and the rest of the world
would have been the object. But it became upside down.
God became the object. How sorrowful! We have to restore
this.
90. We see that the first son, who did not belong to God,
always took the first position of subject. God's side, as the
second son, always tried to restore the elder sonship. So
there is always a struggle.
After good and evil fight and establish enough condition
then Satan has to separate. Satan separates from
goodness.
That has been the way of history.
91. It all started from the individual level but as history
progresses, it will be culminated in the nation's
position. Eve's position is no longer an individual
position but a nation's position. It is an autumn time
position.
By Eve embracing both the Cain and Abel position,
they go towards the country in Adam's position. The
one who harvests this is the one to come.
/SMM 19 Apr 1992
92. Historically Cain and Abel have failed to unite and this
has caused tremendous problems in God's providence.
Satan has always invaded due to this disunity.
Even though the Israel nation was God's chosen nation,
when they failed to recognize and unite with Jesus, who
stood in the position of Abel, they lost everything. They
fell under Satan's dominion. The same is true today for
this nation of America that represents Christianity, if they
fail to recognize and unite with the Lord of the Second
Advent they too will end up in hell.
/SMM 19 Apr 1996
95. The Fall multiplied:
Adam – Lucifer, jealousy
Mind – Body, wrong order
Husband/Wife, disharmony
Parents/Children, disharmony
Siblings, disharmony
Tribe
Nation (S.Korea – N. Korea)
Democratric World –
Communist Block
Divided Spiritual World!
100. Christianity also was divided into two: Catholicism and
Protestantism. They became enemies to each other
and fought each other just as Cain, the elder son, had
fought his younger brother Abel.
Thus human history has developed, constantly
creating more boundaries, multiplying struggles.
We, therefore, have to liberate ourselves from this
attitude of erecting boundaries and struggles.
/SMM 19 Feb 2002
101. Cain and Abel should be united. They
should be like twins.
Western people should learn the language
of their mother and father. And you
[Koreans] should learn a Western
language, to love your sons and
daughters.
In order to teach them, you should learn
their language.

104. Toward an “Abel” UN?
The Unification Movement
and the United Nations
105. • UN forces who liberated Rev. Moon from captivity at
Hung Nam labour camp during the early stages of the
Korean War (1950-53).
• In subsequent years, Rev. Moon regularly extolled
the sixteen nations who fought under the UN banner
and in 1982, he funded production of “Oh Inchon!” a
full-length Hollywood feature film intended to
memorialize the landing of UN troops on the Korean
peninsula.
106. • Divine Principle (DP), extols the “great powers”
for having “allowed minor powers… to become
member states of the United Nations” and “giving
them rights and duties equal to those of the great
powers.”
• DP goes so far as to associate the UN with the
“Last Days” and “close of sinful history.
107. • On the one hand, it perceived that the UN had
a providential, even eschatological significance.
• On the other hand, it saw that the UN was
politicized in ways that blocked its effectiveness.
• This ambivalence characterized the
movement’s understanding of the UN during the
cold war era and has continued to characterize it
until the present.
108. The solution he proposed was to combine
statesmanship and good governance with the
wisdom of the world’s faith traditions and
principles of spiritual practice.
109. However, Rev. Moon was not oblivious to the
divisiveness of religion.
He acknowledged that “deep-rooted conflict
between major religious traditions” constituted
the background of “violent wars all over the world.”
110. He also contended that their “preoccupation with
individual salvation and narrow denominational
interests” had “prevented religious bodies from
giving their utmost to the cause of world salvation.”
111. The UM had maintained a mission at the UN since the
early 1970s.
Working out of local church centers, its “UN team,”
later known as the “New World Forum,” cultivated
contacts and invited guests to UM-sponsored events or
conferences.
113. Natural Subjugation of Cain
In yourself, your mind is in the position of Abel and your
body is in the position of Cain.
The body is mistreating and distorting your mind,
directing you the wrong way, but the mind endures
patiently, suffering for your body.
Eventually, when you reach a certain stage your mind
will be able to control your body to some extent.
114. Natural Subjugation of Cain
Think about how difficult it is to unite these two within you,
mind and body, Abel and Cain;
further, how difficult is it to unite different personalities.
It is almost impossible to make Cain voluntarily surrender
to Abel.
115. Natural Subjugation of Cain
You are standing as God's representative -- as Abel.
However, Cain is directing all sorts of Cain nature and
characteristics against you.
Satan is waiting in ambush. How can you make oneness?
Only when you make Cain surrender and stand on
your left side, can you secure your position as Abel.
116. Natural Subjugation of Cain
As a missionary have you accomplished this foundation
to declare yourself as an Abel? This is the problem!
You cannot help God expand our activities.
Restoration doesn't come without indemnity.
117. Natural Subjugation of Cain
Restoration doesn't come without indemnity.
But who pays indemnity, Abel or Cain?
Abel!
Did you do it?
118. Natural Subjugation of Cain
If not then heaven cannot help you and you cannot prosper.
Understand this point very clearly.
First become Abel on the individual level, and next,
the blessed family must become the Abel
for the Cain family.
God is always working in this way.
/SMM 1992
119. EMBRACING AS CAIN AND ABEL
The story of Cain and Abel is a legend,
but through the lips of Dr. Moon it takes on new
aspects that modern human beings urgently need
to understand.
Cain is represented by our material world, with its
closely connected business, money, and material
interests.
120. Many times such interests cause enmity between nations,
between people of different creeds, or even between
members of the same family.
Abel is represented by the other side of existence.
In this world of heart, the main characteristics are sacrifice,
compassion, mercy, humane feelings with the main
role being played by
love, faithfulness, virtues and fellowship.
/Dr. Edvardas Rudys
121. I often think of Cain and Abel as representing reactionary
and revolutionary consciousness in the wider political
spheres we see around us today.
By “revolutionary” I mean the idea of “revolt” like Cain’s,
and not peaceful revolution.
These two different approaches to politics each claim to
be right and when they compete with one another for
political power, often end up repeating the “Fall” on a
national scale.
Gordon L. Anderson
122. The revolutionary recognizes the need
for change but wants to violently jettison the past.
The French Revolution and Communist Revolution in
Russia are examples of “Cain-type” revolutions that led
to violence and murder on a massive scale.
By wiping out the traditional “reactionary” rulers,
the Ancien Regime in France or the Czarist feudal
system in Russia, and starting over, creating a new society,
they ended up re-inventing many wheels and causing much
evil, death and human suffering.
123. This understanding of Cain and Abel consciousness
can also help people to understand the divisions among
the children of True Parents in the Unification Movement,
some of whom have been, for the most part, behaving as
children.
According to Divine Principle, if Adam and Eve had not fallen,
if they had been True Parents, Cain and Abel would not have
exhibited behaviors that led to the murder of Abel by Cain,
for both would have been capable of transcending reactionary
and revolutionary attitudes and gained parental
consciousness.
124. Whatever problems might exist in the movement’s
leadership level, neither reactionary nor revolutionary
approaches will advance God’s providence.
Only when each person can transcend the naïve and
childish attitudes of reaction and revolt can he or she
begin to engage in the constructive transformation of
the church or the world that is desperately needed.
The world needs True Parents, and
constructive transformers,
not reactionaries or revolutionaries, leading it forward.
128. Within the church, you should know how to discern
who is Abel and who is Cain.
If there are two people, one is surely Abel and the other Cain;
if there are three, one can be the Abel figure, one can
be Cain, and the other can be in either Abel’s or Cain’s
position.
You should be able to clearly discern between the most
central Abel and Cain. (3-206, 1957.11.1)
1957
129. Cain and Abel should not be disunited and separated.
One side is the right hand while the other is the left.
Therefore, everyone should seek and attend their Abel
figure with the belief that my God is your God and that
He loves me as well as you.
Each should do their best to avoid the position of Cain.
If you fail to become such a person, you should clearly
understand that at any time you will end up being caught
by heaven’s judgment.
(3-206, 1957.11.1)
1957
130. Where are the positions of Cain and Abel decided? Cain
and Abel positions will not be decided in some nice and
comfortable place.
Why do we need Cain and Abel? They are needed for the
sake of restoration through indemnity.
What do we have to do to undertake restoration through
indemnity? We have to become a sacrificial offering.
(34-91, 1970.8.29)
1970
131. Where does God decide upon the Abel figure?
He makes the choice in a place where Satan cannot
accuse.
This is the position where unity with God is achieved, but
this is not a position of joy, but the most sorrowful and
difficult position.
In other words, in the position where one is willing to die in
the most miserable situation, you can become one with
God. (34-51, 1970.8.29)
1970
132. Cain-Abel relationships between members
When we look at the members of the Unification
Church and ask the question
who is Cain and who is Abel;
horizontally, those who joined earlier are Abel,
while vertically, those who joined recently are Abel.
In the vertical and horizontal relationships, the
horizontal (older members) must be attentive to the
vertical (younger)
and not the other way around.
(49-214, 1971.10.10)
1971
133. What is the secret in becoming an Abel figure?
It is safeguarding the tradition.
One who does not rebel even when facing death
can become Abel.
You have to understand this.
Jesus is said to be the young lamb, right?
Therefore, even if you are pierced, you must not rebel.
(49-214, 1971.10.10)
1971
134. Abel must love Cain.
He must subjugate him naturally with love.
He must stand in the position of loving him with tears
and blood. He must give love that is the loftiest.
Otherwise, Cain will not relent and restoration cannot
be carried out.
We must do this for the sake of the Christian church,
the Republic of Korea, and North Korea.
This is the reason that I am praying for North Korea
right now.
(34-283, 1970.9.13)
1970
135. What does Abel have to do?
He has to restore three generations.
First, Cain must be restored.
Then, parents must be restored.
Then God must be liberated.
These are the three great missions.
In other words, without liberating the satanic
world, parents cannot appear.
Without liberating the parents, God cannot be
liberated.
It is Abel’s mission to be responsible for the three
realms of liberation. (58-68, 1972.6.6)
1972
136. There are those crazy ones who say,
“Hey, I am Abel because I joined earlier and those
who joined later are Cain, so you should serve me!”
What kind of person is Abel? Abel is the one who lives
according to God’s will.
The one who is more public-minded is Abel.
Who is Cain?
He stands on the side of Satan.
Satan starts off from selfish thoughts.
Abel begins with thinking not about himself, but about God.
You should understand this. (58-68, 1972.6.6)
1972
137. Today I'm going to tell you about the relationship
between Cain and Abel, which is most important
in the Unification movement.
If you have the wrong idea of the relationship between
Cain and Abel, it is apt to lead you nowhere,
or to the place opposite to where you should be.
138. Cain is on the side of Satan,
while Abel is on the side of God, the side of Adam
before the Fall, too.
As you know, man fell by being tempted and by not being
able to resist Satan's temptation.
But he cannot go back to the original stage all by himself.
139. At the time of creation, God created man in consultation
with the archangel; if around you there are persons in the
position of the archangel, in restoring you,
God can consult with those people.
God created the angels, especially the archangel,
to praise God and be consultants to God, co-operating
with Him.
140. The purpose of God's sending the Messiah in the position
of perfected Adam is to re-create the whole world,
re-create mankind.
So before sending him, God had to send someone
like the archangel.
141. In the spirit world, those who correspond to the
archangels or the angels on God's side are good spirits
who did many good deeds while living on Earth.
They are in the position of the angels before God's
creation of man, so before God sends His son the
Messiah, they have to come to the human world to
co-operate with good people and elevate them,
preparing them to receive the Messiah.
142. According to the Principle, Satan cannot dominate men
above the level where Satan invaded Adam.
If you are above that level, Satan cannot invade.
You have to reach that point.
Then how exactly can we reach that point?
Here the question of the relationship understand where
Abel is situated, what his position is.
143. When you are barely in the situation of Abel, alone,
those angels on God's side will push back the satanic
power and protect you, to push you ahead to God's side.
That's the Principle.
Do you feel that there are angels protecting you all around?
(Yes!)
Then you can order the angels,
"You must attack Satan, protect me!"
Are you doing that?
144. Those who are born first are in the position of Cain,
the younger one is in the position of Abel.
If you are so arrogant as to call yourself Abel because
you are old enough in the movement, you are apt to fall
into the position of Cain, and even into the position of Satan.
However, if you are in the position of Cain, but co-operate
with God and work in place of God, then you can remain
in the closer position, like successful Cain.
145. In the. external world there's a battle taking place
between the democratic world and the Communist world.
In the internal world of religion, there's a battle between
Christianity and other religions, and between the
Unification movement and other Christian groups.
Established Christians are in the position of Cain,
because they are first-born.
We are newly-born, and we are in the position of Abel.
146. Here is the strategy to win over Satan.
Satan wants you to become like him.
So, if you fall prey to him, becoming like him,
he will not attack you.
When Satan wanted to tempt Eve, did he go attack
with a battle-cry to scare her, or with smiles and tenderness?
You are going to employ the same tactic.
You must be able to even warm the heart of Satan by
your tender smile and all those sweet things.
147. Another attribute of Satan is that he's arrogant.
You must be as humble as possible.
Always exalt God above you, then you can tell Satan,
"You uplift yourself, you become loftier than God;
but we uplift God, we exalt Him first."
Then Satan will test you to prove whether or not it is true.
Satan will test you through the person you brought into
the movement.
Very possibly, by your witnessing to him and bringing
him into the movement, his whole family, all his relatives,
neighbors, and friends will persecute him.
148. If you are ready to receive nothing in return then you
become like God, because God is always giving out
love with His whole being, getting nothing in return.
That's the point where Godliness starts.
A leader is not a person who can give orders to people
below him, but one who can serve them, be exemplary
to them, and smooth the way for them.
That is the qualification of Abel.
By doing that alone, you are placing yourself in the
position of Abel in the place of God.
Givers are always blessed and entitled to become like God.
149. Master went through untold persecutions, in North Korea,
but also in South Korea.
That is the attribute of Cain or Satan; he won't just bow
down before you and welcome you with open heart and
extended arms.
He would first of all attack you and want to shatter you;
but if you are not shattered and stay intact and strong
enough to come to him with love then he will listen to you.
150. So, you must fight against him with an all-out effort,
concentrating and focusing on the battle, and investing
your whole being on the individual level, family level,
tribal level, national level, and world-wide level.
Then alone, Satan will leave you.
151. From the viewpoint of your being in Abel's position,
you have to be able to move this nation.
You want to win the battle over individuals, families,
nations, and the world.
But before you do that, you must go back to the satanic
world to subjugate Cain on the individual level,
you must go back to the Cain-like family and restore
it successfully, and then you must win a nation out
of the Cain position back to the right side.
152. Would you rather do that step-by-step, or all at once?
(At once!)
There is one thing you must have and that is faith in me.
If your faith in me weighs 1,000, you will win 1,000.
If your faith weighs 10,000, you will win that much.
And if Satan is chasing us, then you must turn back
and fight against him.
153. You are still in the position of the fallen archangel;
by participating in the same battle and turning around
to fight against the satanic powers to annihilate them,
you are going to become triumphant angels.
Then alone, the providence of Cain will be terminated.
You will be elevated to the standard of being adopted
sons of God.
154. Without being able to subjugate Cain, you cannot be
elevated to a higher standard.
And without you as an Abel, Cain cannot be restored.
So, you share in a common fate with me.
You need Abel, I need Cain.
You need your Cain, and Cains need their Abel.
155. If you have really strong faith in Father, and carry on
the fight in your assigned nations, the whole world will
explode at once within seven years' time.
With all this knowledge, I want you to be the victor,
not the defeated.
The strength of your faith and your courage will
determine whether or not your battle will be successful.
You must go this way all through your life.
Cain-Abel Relationships

156. Never Command Cain
I don't know where this kind of strange thought
that Abel is the central figure and in the position
to command came from.
I don't know how that idea crept into our movement
here in America.
Many young members have left the church because
of their leaders.
Abel does not kick someone out of the church.
Abel is the one who will bring people in and embrace them.
Abel is the one who cries together with his Cains.
