2. Jesus – Individual Spiritual Salvation
needs repetition
v 1
True Parents – Family Salvation
Spiritual and Physical
3. Divine Principle
Sun Myung Moon:
God's three great blessings to man, the purpose of His
creation, were to be realized when Adam and Eve,
after having perfected their respective individualities,
would become husband and wife,
then multiply their children to form a family, and, further,
they would come to rule the whole of creation. (Gen. 1:28.)
However,
due to the fall,
the three great blessings were not realized.
4. Comment:
The 3 Blessings are unconsciously twisted in our society;
The 3rd Blessing to create an ideal environment;
ex. Green movement, communism system-workers paradise…
are trying to take a short cut directly to the 3rd Blessing.
Its like building a house starting with the roof! ;-)
Instead the original ideal is to first revolutionize mans
inner moral status; forgiveness of original sin and
growing to perfection.
=> perfecting marriage – 2nd Blessing
=> then creating an ideal society – 3rd Blessing
5. In order to restore this, we must follow the course
in reverse and
1.1 establish the foundation of faith by offering
the symbolic sacrifices through which both the condition
of indemnity to restore the created things and
1.2 the symbolic condition of indemnity to restore man
can be set up at the same time.
Indemnity – Tang Gam
6. 2. In laying the foundation of substance,
there are certain conditions of indemnity necessary
for the fallen man to set up; that is,
"the condition of indemnity to remove the fallen nature".
Therefore, in order for a fallen man to establish the
foundation of substance for the restoration of his
original nature by the removal of his original sin
through the Messiah, he must first set up the condition
of indemnity to remove the fallen nature.
Indemnity – Tang Gam
7. 3. Next, we must lay the foundation to receive the
Messiah, after having set up the foundation of
substance by offering the substantial sacrifices,
which can be set up at the same time as the
condition of indemnity to restore the children,
and on this basis to restore the parents.
Indemnity – Tang Gam
9. According to the Principle of Creation, after creating
Adam, God created Eve with Adam as the model.
Therefore, unless there is a perfected man who can
be born centering on God's perfected love -- in other
words, unless there is a true man -- according to the
law of recreation, Eve cannot be found.
Through the birth of Jesus, with a man as the Lord,
a God-centered movement in search of Eve could
appear for the first time on this earth.
10. The Lord will come as the man of character
representing Adam before he fell in the Garden of
Eden -- in other words, Adam before getting
married.
In the position of Adam in the Garden of Eden
before the fall and marriage, the Lord should get
married.
Comment: Jesus came primarily to get Married
not to be crucified to atone for our sins.
11. The Holy Grail, long searched for 2000 years,
HAS FINALLY BEEN FOUND!
The Holy Wine ceremony and Blessing
by True Parents!
Starting 1960
=
12. 360 000 000 Couples Febr. 1999 Seoul Korea
* 1997 Jesus,
Buddha,
Confucius,
Muhammad,
and Socrates.
Evil Man:
Stalin,
Hitler,
and more.*
13. In 1992, the Blessing of 30,000 couples was held on
the international level.
In 1952, the global Blessing could have been given
worldwide centering on the Parents, but the opportunity
had been lost.
14. There were twelve peaks to surmount –
passing through the formation, growth and completion
stages - up to and including the Blessing of 360 million
couples.
I never retreated from that path after I completed the
40 million couples Blessing. (1997)
As a result, everything was made level.
That is why there are 400 million blessed couples.
The Blessing of 360 million couples was one of
equalization - the Blessing of equalization for all
citizens of the world. /302-132, 1999.06.12
18. History of the Blessing
The early members did not know there would be a couple Blessing.
They knew about the sexual Fall of Man, and mans lost spiritual purity
and wanted to live a pure single life the rest of their life.
19. Jesus came primarely to marry and have children,
grandchildrens…great grandchildren.
Some protests…
The O.T. does not prophecy about Jesus marrying!
Comment:
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. Gen 1:27
You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly
Father is perfect. Math 5:48
Conclusion: God is perfect – you must be perfect
He created in His image male and female
A new 2nd Adam Jesus needs a 2nd Eve
20. The Bible don’t contradicts itself:
Put those two Holy statements together
and you´ll also see that
Jesus as perfect Logos he was,
was still only 50% of that full Logos.
Perfect male and female =
Jesus and his physical Bride - Holy 100% Logos
True Parents of Heaven Earth and Humankind
/end comment
21. Before the True Parents came into existence, even
Father had to pray in the name of Jesus;
he could not pray in the name of the True Parents.
However, after conducting the Holy Blessing, he was
finally able to pray in the True Parents’ name.
(288-28, 1997.10.31)
We can now pray in our own names 14 Sept 1999
22. 120 couples were blessed, (24 July 1963)
representing Jesus 12 disciples,
and 120 people who awaited the descent of
the Holy Spirit after the ascension of Jesus
and went out later to spread his Gospel.
By the blessing of the 120, the universal
blessing could start.
Indemnity
23. Since Jesus was crucified, the dispensation
from Jacob to Jesus was nullified. (Israel history)
Indemnity had to be paid and restoration made
from that point.
By blessing this number of people, (120)
I started the dispensation of restoration
all over again.
Indemnity
24. After Jacob's dispensation,
the tribal mission started.
So after the blessing of these couples,
my tribal mission, the mission of Moses, started.
Then the mission of Jesus,
that is the national and universal missions, started.
Indemnity
25. To do Jesus mission, I had to pay indemnity
for what had been lost by Jacob, Moses and Jesus.
Jesus' mission was carried out only spiritually.
By blessing these couples, (120)
restoration was completed both physically and spiritually.
Therefore, starting from these blessings,
heaven and earth, which have been separated, are united.

31. By repent, Jesus meant that we should understand that
the fall of our ancestors and ourselves
was and is sexual in nature.
The Kingdom of Heaven means that
vertical perfection
is brought into the horizontal realm.
32. God had to agonize over the task of cleansing everything
at the time of Jesus, by repentance, so that Jesus could
perfect everything, bringing in God's Kingdom.
The human failure had to be reversed, and then on top of
that the original blessings had to be given.
33. Then God replaces the individual with the family.
(=Holy Blessing)
That is the line of true love [the top of the growth stage].
God and Satan are fighting over that line.
The upper one is God's domain. * /SMM April 12, 1998
35. When good and evil cross, that is where
the Lord of the Second Advent comes.
Then he does the eight stages all over again.
Then at each stage, the entirety can be indemnified.
36. Once the Blessing of 360,000 couples gives way to the
Blessing of 3.6 million, 36 million, 360 million and finally
3.6 billion couples, human society will finally see the
eradication of AIDS and the realization of a world of pure
true love, where God and humankind are united into one.
37. This is not a mere dream. God’s great work of establishing
the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, the realization of this
providence, is an inevitable truth.
That is because it is not the work of one human being,
but the work of God.
(271-99, 1995.8.23)
38. In order to hold a marriage celebration, a bride must
come to her groom.
For Christianity, that represents the Last Days.
You cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven
without going beyond Christianity.
/1975.1.26
39. What did Jesus want so much to accomplish that
he devoted himself to the task for two thousand years?
40. What did Jesus want so much to accomplish that
he devoted himself to the task for two thousand years?
It was all about to hold a marriage ceremony.
41. What did Jesus want so much to accomplish that
he devoted himself to the task for two thousand years?
It was all about to hold a marriage ceremony.
What marriage ceremony would that have been?
The Blessing.
42. What did Jesus want so much to accomplish that
he devoted himself to the task for two thousand years?
It was all about to hold a marriage ceremony.
What marriage ceremony would that have been?
The Blessing.
For two thousand years, Jesus had longed
and yearned for the marriage ceremony of the Blessing.
43. Isn’t it logical to say that if Jesus had a family, then his clan,
his people, and his nation would all have stemmed from it?
44. Isn’t it logical to say that if Jesus had a family, then his clan,
his people, and his nation would all have stemmed from it?
Jesus endured hardships for thirty-three years so he could
have a family.
45. What did Jesus hope to achieve as he brought
four thousand years of history to a conclusion?
He perished because he did not find or have a family.
46. What did Jesus hope to achieve as he brought
four thousand years of history to a conclusion?
He perished because he did not find or have a family.
If he had a family, his tribe was naturally able to offer
indemnity horizontally throughout history,
even though it took time.
47. Jesus was unsuccessful in forming a family after thirty-three
years of toil. Do you truly know the value of the Blessing?
48. Jesus was unsuccessful in forming a family after thirty-three
years of toil. Do you truly know the value of the Blessing?
The Blessing is the solution that has been sought for six
thousand years to clear away all resentments.
/1972.9.25
50. For the Blessing:
1. God is needed
2. Messiah – Pure Physical Adam & Eve is needed
3. Mankind - receiving The Blessing is needed
Without 1+2+3 = 100%
No Blessing possible of Mankind!
51. • It is truly significant to receive the Blessing.
Those who receive the Blessing should be able to
think of themselves as God’s representatives and
conduct themselves as such.
• They should think, “If I do not move, then heaven and
earth do not move.”
• God can establish a living ideology for the sake of
humankind only when this position is reached.
/1963.10.1
52. The Blessing opens the gates of the Kingdom of Heaven.
The Kingdom of Heaven is a place where
only families with children enter.
/1963.5.25
53. • God’s Blessing is absolutely public in nature.
= Live for Others!
• It is not just for an individual, family, nation,
or even the world.
• God’s Blessing is for the whole universe. (Cosmos)
/1965. 2.13
54. The most precious thing is man and woman joining
together.
This is the core originating point representing the
universe’s public commitment.
55. The literal meaning of the word “blessing” is “praying
for blessings.” If you break down the word chukbok
(Blessing), chuk means to pray or wish for something.
When you are praying for blessings, what is it that is
most precious?
It is none other than the blessing of love.
The Unification Church uses the word “blessing” with
this meaning.
57. When we speak of the Blessing, what we actually mean
is we have been
joined in holy matrimony by True Parents
in the presence of God.
/ 1976.2.8
58. Good ancestors, the territory and the nation stem from you,
the Blessed Families.
That is why blessed members should think about heaven and
earth during every waking moment.
You have received the Blessing so that you can
share blessings with others.
Live for Others! – Spread the Blessing /1963.10.17
59. The Blessing is the most precious thing in heaven and earth.
It is also the most fearsome.
If a blessed member is attracted to others besides his or her
spouse, it is a violation of the spouse.
61. The Blessing is a very fearsome thing. You cannot receive
the Blessing based on your own desire.
The value of a life is more precious than the whole universe.
That is why when you make vows to take responsibility for a
person, you should be ready and willing to do so forever.
62. You must understand clearly that the place of the Blessing
is where these questions come up and are answered.
You must understand clearly that the Blessing is to do with
these issues.
For this reason, if a person can receive the Blessing during
his lifetime, he is truly a happy person.
You must have firm resolve if you are to take part in
receiving this great Blessing.
/1970.3.22
63. You must know the value of the Blessing before you receive it.
You should understand that through the Blessing you become
one of the citizens of the Third Israel.
Now that you know the significance and value of the Blessing,
do you think it is possible for a person to reach individual
perfection without receiving the Blessing?
64. Are unmarried people ever treated as adults?
Even in the human world, when men who have been
bachelors or women who have been virgins die before
they marry, they will be bachelor ghosts and virgin ghosts.
Because they could not marry, they naturally became
ghosts; this is just how the heavenly laws operate.
/1967.12.31
65. Original conditions (until 777 Couples Blessing)
to qualify to receive the Blessing:
• 3 to 4 years of active work in any public ministry in our
movement
• at least three spiritual children
• fasting for 7 days
• give an offering of money.
67. Jesus as 2nd Adam and Messiah
brought
• The Word – The Gospel
• Jesus as the Messiah
• True Love
• True Life
• True Lineage
Never Married
Christian children born
with original sin that needs
continues forgivenes.
• Land Territory - 1st Israel
“Jesus was crucified, so that he was unable to become a True Parent in his physical body.
Although God's blood lineage had been established with Jesus, the position of True Parents in spirit and
in flesh could not emerge. The work of Christianity is limited to the spiritual realm alone; it brought only spiritual
salvation. Physical salvation, namely the salvation of the physical life, has not been realized.” /SMM 720401
Jesus came as the manifestation of God's
concept of true Adam, but no one was
raised up to manifest God's concept of Eve.
For this reason the Holy Spirit comes in the
role of spiritual Mother.
The Bible describes the Holy Spirit as being
like fire or water or like a dove, because it was
without form, but the role of the Holy Spirit
is that of mother spirit.

76. Words from St Augustine 2001
“In the Blessing ceremony, people on
earth will be able to see only the people
on earth, but the Blessing candidates in
heaven can see both the couples on
earth and those in heaven.
The scene of the Blessing ceremony
is truly beautiful and enchanting.”
77. Words from St Augustine 2001
“During the ceremony, the officiator,
Rev. Moon, suddenly changed into
the shape in which God had
appeared in the Garden of Eden
before the human fall;
God's rays spun in splendid and
enrapturing colors and circled
around Rev. Moon, whereupon he
assumed God's body.
78. Words from St Augustine 2001
Then, the whole scene of the
Blessing ceremony was showered
with brilliant light, as if floodlights of
thousands of volts had been turned
on in a dark room.
In this ceremony, God's light
touched each and every couple.”
79. SEOUL, South Korea — Thousands of couples from more than 100
countries traveled here to tie the knot Wednesday in what was seen
as the last mass wedding officiated by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon,
the controversial and enigmatic founder of the Unification Church.
