Divine Principle & Paradise Lost Regained - Introduction - Short version v 1.0 — de Paulis

Throughout Mankinds History there have been many stories similar to the Bibles fight between good and evil.

- Inferno by Dante - Paradise Lost by John Milton - Hobbit by Tolkien

Modern time - Star Wars - Harrry Potter

Paradise Lost English poet John Milton (1608-1674)

1st expression 1667

Paradise Lost English poet John Milton (1608-1674)

After eating the fruit, Adam and Eve have lustful sex, and at first, Adam is convinced that Eve was right in thinking that eating the fruit would be beneficial.

However, they soon fall asleep and have terrible nightmares, and after they awake, they experience guilt and shame for the first time.

Realizing that they have committed a terrible act against God, they engage in mutual recrimination (counter acusement).

John Milton sais in – Messages from Spirit World 2001

We need Divine Principle because it answers all the questions about human history, including Cain and Abel.

You cannot answer them from the Bible itself; no one came up with clear answers.

But because of God’s grace, Rev. Moon came up with the hidden answers.

2nd Expression 2001

Honorable Sun Myung Moon came as the Lord of the Second Advent to fulfill the unfinished mission of Jesus Christ.

Still, Christians believe in unscientific views of Jesus’ Second Advent. People should study Divine Principle seriously. Throughout human history there have been so many painful events and struggles for God and also for Rev. Moon. People have to understand that.

2nd Expression 2001

Do you know how much misunderstanding there has been about those historical facts?

An awesome amount of hidden truth about humankind is hidden in Divine Principle; you have to seek it out.

Unification Path to Perfection and Kingdom of Heaven

Cheon 2013 ’ Il Guk Free Me Realm Principled Me Realm Un- principled Me Realm

Jesus was once asked when the kingdom of God would come.

The kingdom of God, Jesus replied, is not something people will be able to see and point to.

Then came these striking words: “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)

Kingdom of Heaven inside us can mean different activities for different people:

• Some like Music, Art, Film, Sport, Walking, Talking…you suggest

• They all have in common, that satan must be separated for true joy and Love to blossom in whatever is your interest.

• Where there is no Original Sin = there is Kingdom of Heaven

To restore the earthly Kingdom of Heaven means to realize the world in which Satan can never act, by man’s severing completely his reciprocal base with Satan and restoring his reciprocal base with God, thus entering in give and take action with Him.

That God keeps Satan in a bottomless pit in the Latter Days signifies that Satan will be unable to act since he will have lost his object with which to work.

In order for man to be able to cut off his reciprocal base with Satan and be rightfully able to judge him (I Cor. 6:3), he must know the true character of Satan’s crime (explained in Divine Principle)

and accuse him before God.

However, God in creating angels and men, gave them freedom; and so He cannot restore them by force.

Therefore, man should be able to make Satan come to a natural surrender by exalting the Word, through the accomplishment of his own portion of responsibility by his own volition, before he can be restored to the status of a man of the original nature of creation.

To separate from satan:

• Making indemnity conditions - Witnessing the Truth Divine Principle - Fasting,Tithing,Praying… - Doing Pledge, HonDokHae

• Being Blessed by the Messiah – True Parents

• Fulfilling the Three Great Blessings

“Before you desire to have dominion over the universe, you must first have dominion over yourself.“

Your conscience knows everything about you. It knows them even better than God knows.

So if you place your conscience in God’s position over your life, and go the way of absolute obedience, of “high-noon settlement”, it is certain that you will establish a realm of resonance between your mind and body and perfect their unity. /SMM 13 Jun. 2006

The kingdom of heaven in heaven is the world of “high noon”, where God and man can meet without any shadow in a total union filled with brightness. /SMM 2 Jan. 1983

Remarkable Messages from the Spiritual Realm

Since human beings received the satanic blood, people cannot return to God by themselves.

So the Messiah must achieve absolute restoration of the lineage, renewing the blood line that was defiled by Satan.

This transition must be made.

This is why the Messiah must surely come. Without his coming there will be no restoration of lineage. We must restore the lineage.

Unification Church Universal Holy Blessing

The age is coming when God and humankind will live as one in the ideal world of creation, the world of heart.

The age is coming when everyone will realize that living for the sake of others holds greater eternal value than living for the self.

The blind age of selfish life will pass away as we build an altruistic world of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally shared values…

… For this purpose, all should have correct knowledge about God and the spirit world and testify to the world about the heavenly path; then we can lead humanity appropriately to establish the universal family…

… Therefore, let us work to establish God’s fatherland and hometown, the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, by investing ourselves for the sake of others with absolute love, unchanging love and eternal true love, looking to the day when we can offer all heavenly sovereignty to God.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I FALL OF MAN

If the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was not a material fruit, but a symbol, what does this symbol represent?

To answer this question let us begin with an examination of the Tree of Life, which grew in the Garden of Eden along with the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Gen. 2:9).

When we grasp the true character of the Tree of Life, we will also know the nature of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I FALL OF MAN

Why can we conclude that the hope of Adam was to attain the Tree of Life? Genesis 3:24 says that after Adam committed sin, God placed cherubim and a flaming sword to guard the Tree of Life. Due to his fall, Adam was driven from the Garden of Eden (Gen 3:24) without having attained the Tree of Life.

Ever since then, fallen man has set his hope upon attaining what Adam failed to attain--the Tree of Life.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I FALL OF MAN

We can understand that the purpose of God’s providence of salvation is to restore the Tree of life which was lost in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2:9), to the Tree of Life mentioned in Revelation 22:14.

Because of the fall, Adam could not attain the first Tree of Life. Therefore, Christ must come again as the last Adam (Rev. 22:13) in order to save fallen man.

It is for this reason that Christ is called the “last Adam” (I Cor. 15:45).

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I FALL OF MAN

…when we find in the Garden of Eden a tree symbolizing manhood, we know there must be another tree symbolizing womanhood.

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which was described as standing with the Tree of Life (Gen. 2:9), was thus the symbol of Eve.

Jesus = 2nd Adam = Tree of Life

“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and of the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” --Revelation 22:2

Jesus wife = 2nd Eve =Tree of Knowledge of God and Evil

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I FALL OF MAN

In Revelation 12:9 we read further that the “great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent”, who is called the devil by some, and Satan by others. This “ancient serpent” was the same one which tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I FALL OF MAN

From this we can reason that the angel fell as the result of an immoral act of unnatural lust, and that act was fornication.

Fornication is a crime which cannot be committed by one person alone. Therefore, we must know with whom the angel committed fornication in the Garden of Eden.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I CHAPTER 3 CONSUMMATION OF HUMAN HISTORY

The purpose of human history is to restore the Garden of Eden with the Tree of Life in the centre (Gen. 2:9).

The “Garden of Eden” does not mean the limited area in which Adam and Eve were created, but the whole earth.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I CHAPTER 3 CONSUMMATION OF HUMAN HISTORY

If the Garden of Eden were the limited region where the first human ancestors were created, how would it be possible for the countless numbers of mankind to live in such a small place?

An extremely large number of people would be necessary in order to fill the earth according to God’s blessing to man (Gen. 1:28).

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I CHAPTER 3 CONSUMMATION OF HUMAN HISTORY

Due to the fall of the first human ancestors, this earthly Garden of Eden, which God intended to establish with the Tree of Life in the centre, fell into the hands of Satan (Gen. 3:24).

Therefore, when the sinful history of mankind that began in Alpha concludes in Omega, the hope and glory of fallen men will be for them to wash their robes and enter the restored Garden of Eden, and thus restore their right to the Tree of Life (Rev. 22:13-14).

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I CHAPTER 3 CONSUMMATION OF HUMAN HISTORY

From these biblical records, we know that the purpose of human history is to restore the Garden of Eden in its original form, centered on Christ, who is to come as the Tree of Life.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I CHAPTER 3 CONSUMMATION OF HUMAN HISTORY

Thus, when these two sovereignties of good and evil are at the point of intersection, it is called the Last Days.

Since this is the time when the perfection of the growth stage, from which Adam and Eve fell, should be restored by indemnity, all mankind wanders about in ideological chaos, just as the first human ancestors in the Garden of Eden were confused without knowing what to do after the fall.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART I CHRISTOLOGY

Human history is the history of the providence to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth by restoring the Tree of Life (Rev. 22:14), which was lost in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:24).

We can know the relationship between Jesus and perfected Adam by understanding the relationship between the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2:9) and the Tree of Life that is to be restored at the close of the age (Rev. 22:14).

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART II MOSES AND JESUS

Jesus was going to restore Eden in the original form of creation, as God promised, by leading the Christians, the Second Israelites, out of the sinful world with miracles and signs and by leading them across the troubled sea of the sinful world and detouring through the desert without the water of life.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART II MOSES AND JESUS

Naturally, the Rock is also the Tree of Life. On the other hand, the Tree of Life was the symbol of Adam in perfection in the Garden of Eden.

Since this Tree of Life is symbolized by the Rock, the Rock is also the symbol of Adam in perfection.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART II THE SECOND ADVENT OF THE MESSIAH

God created Adam and Eve in the spring-season. Accordingly, the civilization of mankind was supposed to start as the temperate-zone civilization of Eden, be shifted to the tropic-zone civilization of Eden, be shifted to the tropic-zone civilization as of the summer season, and, after shifting itself to the cool-one civilization of the autumn season, it was finally to return to the frigid-zone civilization of the winter season.

DP 73 DIVINE PRINCIPLE PART II THE SECOND ADVENT OF THE MESSIAH

Now is the time when the temperate-zone civilization of the New Eden should be produced in the Peninsular-culture.

This must necessarily be realized in Korea, where all aspects of civilization must bear fruit.

In the Garden of True Love

In the Garden of Eden before the human Fall, there were only four realities: Adam, Eve, the archangel and God.

Before the human Fall, Adam was the first human ancestor; and the Lord, the Messiah, in the position of Adam.

All the male beings are in the position of the Lord, while female beings are in the position of Eve, or his bride.

Again, in another sense, men are in the position of the archangel, because they are living in the fallen world.

In the triangular relationship of our Master as the Messiah and the female and male, the male beings are in the position of the archangel, while Master is in the position of Adam.

• Garden of Eden • Fall of Man • Restoration • Ancestor Liberation: • Ancestor Liberation There are 3,600 generations, and we are doing ALC (Ancestor Liberation Ceremonies), we have to do up to 420. History is much longer than 6,000 years. Heaven originally was 100% but because of the fall of AE, evil from that beginning point developed bigger and bigger and passed even Paradise.

The % of hell in SW is 80%. Heaven is 20%. /Words of DMN July 2012
