Notes on Rev Ahn's 40 Day Workshop

(a) What is the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

Fruit < literal or symbolic?

(1) Jesus' words: (Mat 15:11-19)

--> What goes into the mouth does not defile a man.

--> What comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man. (Hos 4:1,2)

(2) From the viewpoint of God.

1) Would God test man in such a way that man could die?

2) Would God, as a loving Father, create fruit that would kill mankind?

(3) From the viewpoint of man.

1) Could this fruit be so desirable that man would even throw away his life?

2) Could this fruit cause original sin that could be passed down from generation to generation until today?

Conclusion:

--> Therefore, this fruit cannot be literal, but must be symbolic.

; In the Garden of Eden, the trees probably symbolize mankind. (Jno 15:5) Jesus is a vine (Rom 11:17) Jesus is an olive tree (Dan 4:19-22) Men of Judah are trees (Isa 5:7) The king is a tree (Psa 1:3) He is like a tree

(3) Explanation of the Tree of Life

a) The first Adam is unfallen Adam in the garden of Eden.

--> Unfallen Adam is the first Messiah.

(1) Original way to the Tree of Life (Gen 2:9)

1) By rejecting satan's word and accepting God's word, the first Messiah, Adam, can grow to reach perfection through the original way.

2) When Adam reaches perfection he should become the tree of life.

; When Adam becomes the tree of life he should become True Parents by receiving the blessing from God.

(2) Original way to the Tree of Life is closed.

--> Because of Adam's and Eve's fall the original way is closed.

; Therefore God prevented and guarded the original way using a cherubim and a flaming sword. Gen 3:24.

(3) Results of Adam's fall

--> Because of Adam's and Eve's fall, Adam could not become the tree of life and True Parent.

b) The second Adam is Jesus.

--> Jesus should inherit the first Adam's mission. Therefore Jesus is the second Messiah (1Cor 15:45, Ro 5:14).

(1) The first detour way to the Tree of Life

1) By rejecting satan's word and accepting God's word, the second Messiah, Jesus, can grow to reach perfection through the original way.

2) When Jesus reaches perfection he should become the tree of life.

; When Jesus becomes the tree of life he should become True Parents by receiving the blessing from God.

(2) The first detour way to the Tree of Life is closed.

--> Because of Jesus' crucifixion due to the rejection of the Jewish religious leaders the first detour way is closed.

(3) Results of Jesus' crucifixion.

1) Because of Jesus' crucifixion he could not reach perfection. Therefore he could not become the tree of life and True Parent.

2) However through the merit of Jesus' resurrection by the crucifixion for ransom (redemption) and indemnity, Christianity can receive the benefit of spiritual salvation.

(4) Old Testament desire

1) O.T peoples desire is to be realized through the second Messiah . Jesus.

--> The O.T peoples desire is to become a branch of the Tree of Life through receiving a branch of the tree of life from the second Messiah Jesus.

2) However, because of Jesus' crucifixion the O.T peoples desire could not be realized.

c) The third Adam is the second coming.

--> the second coming should inherit the first Jesus' mission. Therefore the second coming is the third Messiah.

(1) The second detour way to the Tree of Life.

1) By rejecting satan's word and accepting God's word, the third Messiah, the second coming, can grow to reach perfection through the second detour way.

2) When the second coming reaches perfection he should become the tree of life.

; When the second coming becomes the tree of life he should become True Parents by receiving the blessing from God.

(2) The second detour way to the Tree of Life is opened.

--> By the second comings paying indemnity and ransom through receiving torture and martyrdom in the prison camp, the second detour way is opened.

(3) The results of the second comings sucess.

1) Because of the second comings success, the second coming can reach perfection.

2) Therefore the second coming became the tree of life and became True Parents through recieving the blessing from God for the first time in history.

(4) New Testament desire

1) N.T peoples desire is to be realized through the third Messiah the second coming

--> The N.T peoples desire is to become a branch of the Tree of Life through receiving a branch of the tree of life from the third Messiah, the second coming.

2) For NT peoples to receive th ebranch of the tree of life is to receive the blessing from True Parents.

Notice - Conclusion

1) The tree of life symbolizes the perfect Adam to be. There is the seed of life in Adam.

2) Therefore the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil symbolizes Eve.

; Eve produces the fruit (baby). According to Eve's direction, Eve becomes either a Tree of the knowledge of good or a Tree of the knowledge of evil.

(c) The identity of the serpent and Eve's crime.

(1) The identity of the serpent.

--> Abilities that the serpent had.

-1) The serpent could talk with Eve. (Gen 3:1)

-2) The serpent knew God's direction or commandment. (Gen 3:1)

-3) The serpent could persuade and deceive Eve. (Gen 3:5)

-4) The serpent was thrown down from heaven. (Rev 12:9)

--> Therefore the serpent must have been a spiritual being.

; Only angels were spiritual beings beside mankind.

(2) The angel and Eve's crime.

(3) Expalanation of the angel and Eve's crime

a) Angels crime

(1) What is the serpent.

1) It is described in Rev 12:9 and Rev 20:2 that the ancient serpent is a great dragon, the great dragon is satan and satan is the devil.

2) According to the explanation of the identity of the serpent the serpent must be a spiritual being.

3) Besides mankind only angels are spiritual.

(2) Did the angels really commit any kinds of sin ?

1) It is described in 2 Pe 2:4 that God sent the angels who had sinned to hell

2) What kind of sin did the angels commit.

--> It is described in Jude 1:6-7 that the angels who left their position committed sexual sins similar to the sexual sins of Sodom and Gomorrah and were kept in hell by God and bound with chains until the judgement day.

3) Then with whom did the angels commit sexual sins?

--> Sexual sins absolutely require a partner, without a partner, no one can commit sexual sin.

b) Eve's crime

(1) Eve received two kinds of contradictory words. One is God's word . The other is satan's word.

1) God's word is "do not eat" the fruit.

--> It is described in Gen 3:3, that God told Eve if she ate of the fruit or touched it she would surely die.

2) Satan's word is to eat the fruit.

--> It is described in Gen 3:4,5 that satan told Eve if she ate of the fruit she would not die and her eyes would be opened.

3) Finally Eve rejected God's word not to eat and accepted satan's word to eat.

(2) The results of Eve's crime.

1) Eve did not feel any shame about her nakedness before the fall.

--> It is described in Gen 2:25 that Eve did not feel ashamed of her nakedness before she ate the fruit.

2) Eve did feel ashamed of her nakedness after the fall.

--> It is described in Gen 3:7 that after Eve ate the fruit she covered her naked body with fig leaves.

3) Eve did not eat the fruit with her mouth but she did eat the fruit with her lower parts, which she later covered with fig leaves.

--> It is evident that Eve committed sin with her lower parts.

4) It is described in Gen 39:6-9 that Potiphar had no concern except for the food he ate. Food represents Potiphar's wife and eating represents Potiphar's sexual love with his wife.

5) Adam and Eve covered their lower parts with fig leaves after the fall.

--> It is described in Job 31:33 that Job did not conceal or hide his sin as Adam did (KJV).

c) Conclusion

--> There are two persons who committed sexual sin. One is the angel the other is Eve.

1) It is evident that the archangel committed sexual sin with Eve.

--> After Eve's fall with the archangel Eve committed sexual sin with Adam.

2) Therefore after the fall the archangel became satan and the human ancestors became the fallen ancestors.

--> Because of this, satan became the lord and came to dominate mankind.

; It is described in Jn 8:44 that fallen mankind are born of the devil.

Notice

(1) What is the fruit of the tree of K.G.E.

--> The tree of K.G.E symbolizes Eve. Therefore the fruit of the tree of K.G.E symbolizes Eve's love.

(2) Spiritual fall.

--> The fall between the archangel and Eve was a spiritual fall.

; Children could not be multiplied (conceived).

(3) Physical fall. The fall between fallen Eve and Adam was the physical fall.

; Children could be multiplied (conceived).

(d) Evidence that the original sin was fornication.

1) Satan became the father of mankind.

--> Because of this, original sin has been passed down until today. (Jno 8:44) Satan is the father of mankind. (Mat 3:7) Mankind is the son of vipers. (Mat 23:33) Mankind is theson of vipers and serpents. (Psa 51:5) Behold I was bought forth in iniquity and in sin did my Mother conceive me.

2) Religious people have led celibate lives. Christianity - priests and nuns. (Mat 19:12) (1 Cor 7:38) Buddhism - also priests and nuns.

3) Circumcision of Israelites.

--> Circumcision became an indemnity condition because the human ancestors misused their lower parts.

4) The family is the basic unit of the human society and nation.

--> The family begins with love and ends with love. The family consists of love. Without love, the family breaks down.

5) Developed countries can solve every problem except the love problem (sexual crime). The more developed a country becomes, the less that sexual crimes are recognized and punished.

6) Bible verses from the O.T., Jesus and Paul.

--> "Do not eat" (Gen 3:1-3)

--> "Do not touch" (Gen 3:1-3)

--> "Do not look" (Gen 3:6)

--> "Do not think" (Mat 5:28)

--> "Do not even dream" (1 Cor 6:9-20)

1 Cor 6:9-20. Do not think even in dreams. Every sin is committed outside the body, but fornication is committed against the body.

1 Cor 7 (all) Concerning celibacy, marriage and fornication

(e) Expalanation of wrong theories about satan

(1) Originally, satan was a good angel.

1) Angels cannot exist in the Garden of Eden unless created by God who is good.

2) After mankind becomes perfect, angels, who are servants, cannot fall.

3) Angels fell during man's growing period. If Eve, who was the master, had rejected the archangel's seduction, the archangel could not have become satan.

(2) There is a theory that satan existed before God created the cosmos.

--> This theory is greatly mistaken and absolutely false.

1) If 2 contradictory subjects existed before the creation of the cosmos, they would have existed in conflict and would have destroyed each other.

2) If satan existed before the creation and was against God, then Jesus and mankind would not be able to separate from satan and subjugate satan.

3) The archangel, who became satan, was originally the servant. Therefore, man, who was originally created as the master, can separate from and subjugate satan when he perfects himself.

Notice:

--> The O.T. and N.T. are wonderful, God-given videotapes.

--> The Divine Principle is a wonderful God-given video machine and television which Father made.

(a) The angelic world and mankind.

(1) The purpose of the creation of angels.

1) Glorify and praise God. (Rev 5:11) (Rev 7:11,12)

2) Servant and messenger. (Luk 1:30,31) Angel Gabriel came to Mary (Mat 28:5) Angel came to a woman in front of Jesus tomb. (Act 12:7) Angel liberated Peter from prison. (1 Kgs 19:5) Angel brought food to Elijah.

--> The mission of the angels is to glorify and praise God, and to be the servant and messenger for both God and mankind.

(2) The relationship between angels and man.

1) Man is master. (1 Cor 3:16) Man is the temple of God. (1 Cor 6:3) Man judges the angels.

2) Angels are the servant of man. (Heb 1:14) Angels serve man (Rom 22:8,9) Angel is a servant

3) Angels act like man. (Gen 19:5) The people mistook the angels at men in Lots house. (Gen 32:35) Jacob wrestled with an angel. (Gen 18:8) Angels ate a meal with Abraham. (Heb 13:2) People mistook angels as normal servants.

4) The archangel is Lucifer. (Isa 14:12) How you are fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning Daystar son of dawn fell down from heaven. (Eze 28:13-16) You (angel) were in Eden were cast down from the mountain of God. You were the annointed guardian Cherub.

--> The fall between the archangel and Eve.

(1) God's love is vertical, parental love.

1) Before the creation of the human ancestors, the archangel who was the servant, existed as the central person of the angels and all things.

--> Therefore, before the creation of the human ancestors, the archaangel Lucifer received and monopolized a higher level of God's vertical, parental love than anything else in all the creation. ; The archangel looks, thinks and acts as if he were a king.

2) Because Adam and Eve were created as the lord of the archangels and the children of God they received a higher level of God's vertical parental love than the archangel.

--> Therefore Adam and Eve should become True Parents and king of kings toward all of makind, the angelic world and all things.

(2) The archangels comparison of love and the feeling in his mind.

--> Through the archangel comparing these two levels of vertical parental love from God, the archangel felt a lessening of God's vertical parental love as before.

; Therefore the archangel felt in his mind the following three things.

1) The archangel envied Adam's and Eve's position, which is lord of the archangel.

2) He felt jealousy toward the persons who are Adam and Eve.

--> Through arrogance which means being proud of myself, the archangel felt jealousy. This jealousy developed to become hatred and this hatred developed to become violence and murder. (invasion and war).

3) He felt resentment towards God who is the Parent.

(3) God's vertical parental love and the archangels horizontal sexual love.

1) In order for the archangel to compensate for his feeling of lessening of God's love than before, the archangel wanted to keep his same central position towards Adam and Eve even though Adam and Eve were the lord of the archangel.

--> In other words the archangel wanted to take Adam and Eve's position of lord and he wanted to come to exist in Lords position.

2) Methods in order for the archangel to take Adam's and Eve's position of the lord.

--> By killing Adam and Eve the archangel could take the lord's position.

; By taking Eve who should become Adam's wife the archangel could make her his own wife.

3) Finally the archangel chose the method of taking Eve as his wife.

--> This action is horizontal sexual love.

; In order to receive God's vertical, parental love the archangel tried to realize this purpose through horizontal sexual love with Eve.

(4) The archangel who was the wisest among the 3 major angels persuaded Eve.

--> During the growing period of Adam and Eve, the archangel guided taught and took care of them as a teacher or parent.

; Because the archangel is a teacher and Adam is a classmate for Eve, Eve thinks that the archangel is wiser and better than Adam.

1) Eve's age was 16 years old. In the beginning Eve kept God's word not to eat absolutely and rejected satan's word.

2) The archangel, who is a servant, was sexually attracted to Eve, who is the lord and felt a strong impulse of horizontal sexual love towards Eve.

3) Without receiving Eve's permission, the archangel cannot realize his horizontal sexual desire.

--> Therefore the archangel continuously tried to persuade Eve every day.

4) Eve's mind gradually moved and changed and she began to forget God's commandment not to eat.

--> Finally she accepted satan's word to eat, which is marriage to the archangel.

(5) The archangel made Eve fall. When the archangels excessive sexual desire and Eve's premature sexual desire made a reciprocal base, the evil power of give and take action was produced. Through this evil power the archangel and Eve fell.

--> This was the spiritual fall.

; The archangel felt pangs of conscience because the servant cannot sexually love the lord Eve eternally.

(6) The archangel, as the servant, dominated Eve, who was the lord through the illicit horizontal sexual love between the archangel and Eve.

--> This was the reversl of dominion between the lord and the servant.

Notice:(1)

Whe the archangel persuaded and seduced Eve to reject God's word, if Eve would have reported and prayed to God a reciprocal base would have been made between Eve and God and the good power of give and take action would have been produced.

--> Through this good power, Eve could have rejected the archangels persuasion and seduction and could never have fallen.

Notice:(2)

If Eve had not been persuaded by the archangel, and had rejected the archangels word in her period of immaturity, then she would not have fallen and the archangel would not have fallen and become satan.

; In this sense, Eve was responsible for the archangel becoming satan, because she was his master and God's commandment was given to her.

Notice:(3)

Concerning the spiritual fall between Eve and the archangel, Eve had primary responsibility and the archangel had secondary responsibility

--> Eve as the lord should have the qualification to dominate the archangel as the servant.

--> Although God did not create evil angels, after the fall, a good angel became satan or the devil.

Notice:(4)

Concerning the physical fall, Adam had primary responsibility and fallen Eve had the secondary responsibility (between Adam and fallen Eve).

--> Adam, as the Lord, should have the qualification to dominate fallen Eve.

Notice:(5)

The order of responsibility to prevent the fall was: Adam --> Eve --> archangel After the fall, the order of evil was: archangel --> Eve --> Adam

Notice:(6)

The archangel felt pangs of conscience at the fall in spite of feeling evil joy and satisfaction through sexual gratification (fornication).

Notice:(7)

Eve did not completely understand sexual desire at the time of the fall.

Notice:(8)

Two kinds of evil desire are excessive desire and premature desire.

a) Excessive desire.

1) The desire of a servant to usurp the master's position.

2) The desire of a prostitute to become a virgin.

3) The desire of a beggar to become a rich man. (The desire of a gambler to become a rich man quickly).

4) The desire of someone to deceitfully a doctorate degree.

b) Premature desire.

1) The desire of a farmer who wants to harvest before his crops are ripe.

2) The desire of Unification members who do not want to wait until the Blessing.

3) The desire of the chrysanthemum which naturally blossoms in autumn to want to bloom in spring.

Notice:(9)

a) Vertical parental love

(1) Parents love their children.

--> After the fall according to their conscience, parents try to realize vertical parental love.

(2) Compassionate, sympathetic, merciful love.

--> these three aspects of love belong to vertical parental love.

; Jesus' love, Buddha's love / mercy and Confucious' compassion or sympathy means allmost the same thing which is vertical parental love.

b) Vertical returning love

--> Children return beauty to their parents.

; Children show appreciation to their parents because of their parents vertical love. Their children are called children of filial piety or dutiful children.

c) Horizontal love

(1) Horizontal sexual love between husband and wife.

--> Husbands give love to their wives. And the wife returns beauty to her husband.

(2) Horizontal friendly love

--> Horizontal friends love between brothers and brothers (elder and younger).

; Horizontal friends love between sisters and sisters (elder and younger).

(3) Horizontal enemies love

--> Jesus loves his enemies.

d) Vertical parental love and horizontal sexual love.

--> Children who do not receive the vertical parental love of their parents easily commit actions of horizontal sexual love during the growing period of school time.

(c) The motivation and the process of the physical fall. (The fall between fallen Eve and Adam).

(1) After Eve and the archangel fell, Eve gained the following 3 things:

1) Fallen Eve felt uneasy, insecure, fearful, painful, regretful and remorseful because she acted against her conscience.

2) Through her relationship with the archangel, Eve received the knowledge that her original husband was to be Adam.

3) Eve fell from the position of the wife of the Lord to the position of the wife of a servant.

--> She became the first prostitute in human history.

(2) Fallen Eve's thinking was that the only way to leave the realm of death and regain life was through a relationship with Adam.

1) Eve considered confessing her fallen action to Adam and that she had become the wife of a servant (prostitute).

2) Eve also considered deceitfully hiding her sin and not confessing (her fallen action to Adam).

--> She finally decided to deceitfully hide her sin and not to confess.

(3) Fallen Eve persuaded Adam in two ways:

1) She deceitfully hid her sin (that she was a prostitute).

2) She strongly persuaded Adam to deny God's commandment not to eat everyday.

--> In the beginning Adam kept God's commandment not to eat absolutely. After receiving fallen Eve's persuasion Adam gradually began to forget God's commandment not to eat.

3) Finally Adam was persuaded by fallen Eve.

(4) After fallen Eve experienced illicit horizontal sexual love with the archangel, she sexually approached and seduced Adam who did not yet know sexual love.

--> Then she stimulated Adam's evil sexual desire and caused him to have an impulse of evil sexual love.

(5) When fallen Eve's excessive desire and Adam's premature desire formed a reciprocal base, the evil power of give and take action was produced.

--> Through this evil power, fallen Eve and Adam fell.

; this was the physical fall.

(6) Fallen Eve dominated fallen Adam who was the lord through the illicit, horizontal sexual love between fallen Eve and fallen Adam.

--> This was the reversal of dominion between the Lord and his wife.

Notice:(1)

When fallen Eve tried to persuade Adam to reject God's word, if Adam had reported and prayed to God, a reciprocal base would have been made between Adam and God and the good power of give and take action would have been produced.

--> Through this power, Adam could have rejected fallen Eve's persuasion and seduction and could never have fallen.

Notice:(2)

Adam had a chance to prevent the fall 3 times.

1) Through not being persuaded by fallen Eve to reject God's word not to eat Adam could have kept God's commandment not to eat.

2) By making a reciprocal base with God through reporting and praying to God, Adam could have kept God's commandment not to eat.

3) By Eve's confessing her sexual sin with th earchangel to Adam, Adam could have kept God's commandment not to eat.

--> By rejecting God's word and not overcoming sexual desire Adam as the lord fell to become a foolish, miserable servant through Adam losing 3 very good chances.

Notice:(3)

1) If Adam would have kept God's commandment not to eat Adam would not have fallen.

--> Therefore Adam could have grown to reach perfection through passing his period of immaturity to become the Messiah.

2) Through receiving God's guidance Adam as the Messiah would try to save fallen Eve and the fallen archangel.

--> Adam should guide fallen Eve, who later is represented by Sarah, to reject the fallen archangels seduction, who is represented by the king (Pharoah).

Notice:(4)

--> The reasons why fallen Eve could not confess.

1) She felt very ashamed that she had become a prostitute in her conscience.

2) She felt very afraid that she would be rejected by Adam because she was no longer a virgin.

3) Allthough she committed a terrible sexual sin with a servant, through her arrogance of being proud of herself seh pretended to be a good person.

Notice:(5)

Eve made several great mistakes

1) Eve did not keep God's commandment not to eat.

2) Eve did not report and pray to God.

3) Eve did not confess and report.

4) Eve did not willingly receive punishment, like the example of the prostitute in the Bible (Jn 8:3-11)

5) Eve did not want to go to hell alone. therefore she brought Adam with her to hell.

6) Eve inherited sexual action from the archangel and multiplied and transfered this sexual action to Adam.

Notice:(6)

The best way to separate from satan and be liberated from his sin is through confession, repentance and paying indemnity.

1) The best way is to follow God's word not to eat. However, if a mistake is made, it is then best to confess and repent.

; The earlier you confess and repent, the earlier you will separate from satan and be saved. The later you confess and repent, the later you will separate from satan and be saved.

Notice:(7)

The archangels great mistakes were as follows.

1) The archangel as a servant took and siezed the human parents right and the kings right.

--> This is the desire to become a lord or leader.

2) The archangel as the servant sexually loved and took the lord's wife.

Notice:(8)

Fallen Adam and Eve felt pangs of conscience at the time of the fall in spite of their feeling of evil joy and satisfaction through evil horizontal sexual gratification.

Notice:(9)

Adam did not completely understand sexual desire at the time of the fall.

Notice:(10)

For Eve the archangel was satan. For Adam fallen Eve was satan.

For sisters, a handsome man or boy is satan. For brothers, a beautiful woman or girl is satan.

<3> The Results of the Fall

--> The loss and restoration of the 3 blessings and the 4 position foundation.

(b) The 4 kinds of fallen natures and the 4 kinds of sin. (Mat 15:11-19) (Hos 4:2)

(a) Failure to take God's viewpoint (God's word).

--> Sin of falsehood, disbelief, rebellion.

Diagram

God's word sin of Accept satan's do not eat falsehood word

--> Eve and Adam committed the sins of falsehood, disbelief and rebellion.

; If fallen mankind is to be liberated from these sins, they must first accept God's word.

; Through accepting God's word (Divine Principle), we can restore the failure to take God's viewpoint.

Notice: How is fallen nature produced and how does it result in the 4 kinds of sin?

Diagram

By licentious will

(b) Leaving one's proper position.

--> Sin of adultery (fornication).

(1) The archangel left the servant's position and reached the master's position when Eve accepted him and they committed the sin of adultery.

(2) Fallen Eve left the prostitute's position and reached the master's position when Adam accepted her and they committed the sin of adultery.

(3) In any case, if anyone commits the sin of adultery, they must first leave their proper position.

(4) Bible verses that help us prevent the sin of adultery.

--> Liberation from the sin of adultery.

1) "Do not eat" (Gen 3:13)

2) "Do not touch" (Gen 3:1-3)

3) "Do not look" (Gen 3:6)

4) "Do not think" (Mat 5:28)

5) "Do not even dream" (1 Cor 6:9-20)

(4) Reversal of dominion.

--> Sin of murder.

(1) After the archangel fell and became satan, the archangel became the master of Eve.

--> After fallen Eve fell with Adam, she dominated Adam. (This is the reversal of dominion).

(2) Therefore, the archangel became the master of Adam.

--> Cain, representing the archangel, became the master of Abel who represented Adam.

(3) According to the reversal of dominion, Cain committed the sin of murder by killing Abel.

--> Jealousy, arrogance, hatred, aggressiveness, violence and murder (suicide, homicide).

(4) If someone wants to be liberated from the sin of murder and restore the reversal of dominion, they must love their enemy like Jacob and Joseph did.

(d) The multiplication of sin, self-justification and transference of responsibility.

--> The sin of robbery

(1) The multiplication of 3 kinds of sin previously described.

--> Horizontal multiplication through family, society, nation and world.

; Vertical multiplication through passing on sins to descendants.

(2) After satan dominated mankind, centering on the first 3 kinds of sins, satan could seize (capture) all things.

--> This is the sin or robbery.

(3) Like Jacob, mankind must give all things to his enemy (Esau) and love his enemy. Through this, mankind can subjugate satan and restore all things.

--> Jacob must enable Esau to establish the foundation of faith.

Notice:

The relationship between the 4 fallen natures, the 4 kinds of sin and the 4 basic essences (structures) in human society.

(a) Truth and thought system.

(1) Institutions of thought and education

1) Elementary, middle, high school, college and university.

2) Church, cathedral, synagogue, mosque, temple

3) Media, library, museum, bookstore

(2) Providential organizations in the Unification movement

1) ICC, IRF

2) ICF, ICUS, PWPA, CARP

3) WMA, Newspapers

(3) The contents of thought and education

1) God's truth

--> Divine rinciple and natural law

2) Satan's word

--> False theories and doctrines, communism, shamanism, hinduism, shintoism.

3) God's word and satan's word.

--> All religious theories include partial truth and partial falsehood.

(4) The failure to take God's viewpoint (God's word)

1) The sin of falsehood, disbelief and rebellion

(a) Original sin (root).

sin of falsehood disbelief and rebellion Adam and Eve committed sin sins of sin of adultery Adam's family sin of murder Cain and Abel sin of robbery committed sin

(b) Collective sin (trunk).

1) Jesus came on earth as the tree of life and he tried to cut the trunk of the tree of sin in order to take away its root. But, through the crucifixion, he did not fulfill his mission.

2) The 4 kinds of sin continued to be passed on to mankind. In addition, there was the sin of the murder of Jesus.

3) But, anyone believing in Jesus Christ could receive spiritual salvation.

(c) Hereditary sin (branch).

(1) Mankind can inherit the 4 kinds of sin from 4 to 7 generations of his ancestors. (Exo 20:5) (Exo 34:6,7)

(2) If the branch ancestors believe in Jesus or any other religion, their good merit can be inherited by their descendants. --> But, if the ancestors did not believe in any religion (or practice goodness), then only evil and the 4 kinds of sin can be inherited by their descendants.

(e) Explanation of the tree of life and tree of sin.

(1) After Adam and Eve fell, all mankind belonged to the tree of sin.

(2) According to God's providence, Jesus came as the tree of life (messiah), but he could only cut 1/2 of the trunk, because of the crucifixion. Therefore, he only brought spiritual salvation.

--> Because Jesus could not take away original sin, Christianity remains and lives in the tree of sin.

(3) Also, the peripheral religions (Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam) could only partially cut down the tree of sin.

(4) The second coming (messiah) became True Parents and opened the gate of blessing by taking away original sin.

--> Through this Blessing and engrafting, the True Parents completely cut down the tree of sin. Therefore, the tree of sin will disappear externally and only the tree of life will remain eternally.

--> Today, the tree of sin includes Judeo-Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam, HInduism, other religions, all philosophies, all thought systems and communism.

Explanation (a)

(1) The method to prevent Eve's fall.

1) When the archangel tried to seduce Eve into immoral fornication, Eve had already received God's word.

--> If Eve had reported or prayed to God, then God's word and Eve's faith would have formed a reciprocal base and the good power of give and take action would have been produced.

2) Through this good power Eve could have rejected the archangel's seduction and Eve would not have fallen.

; Therefore, if Eve had not fallen, the archangel could not have become satan.

(2) The possibility of the fall.

1) When the archangel tried to seduce Eve into immoral fornication, if Eve and the archangels seduction made a reciprocal base then the evil power of give and take action would be produced.

Explanation (a)

(1) The method to prevent Adam's fall.

1) When fallen Eve tried to seduce Adam into immoral fornication, Adam had already received God's word.

--> If Adam had reported or prayed to God, then God's word and Adam's faith would have formed a reciprocal base and the good power of give and take action would have been produced.

2) Through this good power Adam could have rejected fallen Eve's seduction and Adam would not have fallen.

; Therefore, if Adam had not fallen he would have become the Messiah and could have saved fallen Eve.

(2) The possibility of Adam's fall.

1) When fallen Eve tried to seduce Adam into immoral fornication, if Adam and fallen Eve's seduction made a reciprocal base then the evil power of give and take action would be produced. 2) Through this evil power, Adam and fallen Eve fell.

--> For Adam, fallen Eve is satan.

--> Free will and Licentious will.

(a) the contents of freedom.

(1) There is no freedom apart from the Principle.

(2) There is no freedom without the fulfillment of human responsibility.

Self sacrifice Became the Self denial slave to sin

--> The Omniscient, Omnipotent God knew about and could have prevented the fall. Why didn't he prevent it.

(a) In order to set up man as the dominator of all things and angels:

(1) According to the principle of creation.

--> The personality person and the period of immaturity in the growing period.

1) The personality person can grow to perfection through separating from satan and rejecting satan's word to eat.

--> And through controlling my desire by learning, believing and practicing God's word.

; It is God's responsibility to give mankind his word and it is mankind's responsibility to learn, believe and practice God's word "not to eat."

2) When mankind achieves perfection, he gains 2 qualifications: To become the son/daughter of God and to become lord of angels and all things (to dominate all things and angels).

3) When the personality person gains these 2 qualifications, it becomes possible to pass beyond the period of immaturity in the growing period.

(2) If God directly intervenes in the human ancestors' fall during the period of immaturity in the growing period, he would give the qualification of perfection to immature man.

1) Then, first, mankind would eternally remain in a state of immaturity and

2) Second, mankind would not be able to gain the qualification to be the son/daughter of God, and dominate all things and angels.

(3) Therefore, God did not interfere in the human ancestors' fall during the period of immaturity in the growing period, so that man could become the son of God and so that man could dominate all things and angels.

(b) For the sake of the absoluteness and perfection of the Principle.

(1) According to the Principle of creation.

--> The personality person and the period of indirect dominion in the growing period.

; Until the personality person reaches perfection by passing through the period of immaturity, which is the growing period, God cannot dominate him directly. God can only dominate him indirectly through God's word. Therefore, we call this period of immaturity, the period of God's indirect dominion.

(2) The human ancestors fall occurred during the period of immaturity which is God's indirect dominion.

--> If God tried to prevent the fall and directly interfered in the human ancestor's fall, it would violate and destroy the Divine Principle which states that God may not directly intervene and dominate mankind while he is still in the period of immaturity during the growing period, which is God's indirect dominion.

(3) God is an absolute God through the Divine Principle.

--> If God violates and destroys the Principle, then God cannot be the absolute God.

; Therefore, in order for God to be the absolute God, for the sake of the absoluteness and perfection of the Principle, God cannot prevent and interfere with the fall.

(c) In order that God alone be the creator.

(1) Because God is the creator, if he interferes in some action or event, God gives it the value of creation.

; Therefore, if God interfered in the 1st human ancestors fall, he would have given this fallen action the value of His creation.

(2) The human ancestors fall occurred because of satan.

--> Therefore, if God interferes in the human ancestors' fall, he would come to give this fallen action the value of His creation. Because of this, satan would become the 2nd creator.

(3) Therefore, because God did not want to make satan the 2nd creator, He did not interfere in the human ancestors' fall, in order that He alone would remain the creator.
