Why did God create all things? It was to have a love object, a partner, and to create a loving relationship. He wanted people to be able to live and then return to the original world and dwell in God’s eternal, original homeland of love.

The Bible describes God’s creation of heaven and earth in simple terms, saying that God created heaven and earth through the Word. Stars appeared when God said, “Let there be stars,” and the earth appeared when God said, “Let there be earth.” But you must be aware that in this process God maintained the principle of progression, developing small things into big things according to infinite order and law. According to this principle, after creating all things, God created our ancestors, Adam and Eve, by concentrating the essences of everything in the universe.

People will enjoy and take delight in anything that belongs to someone they love. Nevertheless, they do not know how to take delight in all things created by God, whom they should love the most. Can such people become God’s sons and daughters? You are responsible to liberate creation, which is sighing and lamenting from its sorrow. You should deeply experience the heart and care that God invested in the creation of even one tree or plant 6,000 years ago. You should have such a heart. So you should be able to shed tears even at the sight of one plant along the road, or holding onto one tree, say, “How lonely you must be to have lost your master!” I myself have wept profusely while grasping a rock; I have shed tears to feel the wind blow. Now, because you have heard my words, you understand why.

We should first of all understand that God did not create the world to end. He always intended the world of goodness to last forever. The God who does not create for eternity cannot be an almighty God. The present world must end, however, because the fall initiated a history of evil. The end of the world is necessary because we have not achieved God’s intended world of goodness. Source of this excerpt True Father’s words distributed in 1984 “Judgment By God’s Word”

Nehemiah 9:6 (New International Version of the Bible) You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.

How did God create the earth? To review the process, please take a few moments to view the beautifully illustrated video

Notes from this video:

About 9 billion years after the Universe was born, in our tiny corner of space, a massive star had already exploded a colossal amount of enriched chemicals everywhere. From this cloud, gravity began its work. Around 4.7 billion years ago, our Sun was created from the debris of this star.

Here’s the first part of a timeline since the Big Bang from The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence by Ray Kurzweil

TIME LINE 10-15 billion years ago The Universe is born.

10243 seconds later The temperature cools to 100 million trillion trillion degrees and gravity evolves.

10234 seconds later The temperature cools to 1 billion billion billion degrees and matter emerges in the form of quarks and electrons. Antimatter also appears.

10210 seconds later The electroweak force splits into the electromagnetic and weak forces.

1025 seconds later With the temperature at 1 trillion degrees, the quarks form protons and neutrons and the antiquarks form antiprotons. The protons and antiprotons collide, leaving mostly protons and causing the emergence of photons (light).

1 second later Electrons and antielectrons (positrons) collide, leaving mostly electrons.

1 minute later At a temperature of 1 billion degrees, neutrons and protons coalesce and form elements such as helium, lithium, and heavy forms of hydrogen.

300,000 years after the The average temperature is now around 3,000 degrees, and the first atoms form. big bang 1 billion years after the Galaxies form. big bang 3 billion years after the Matter within the galaxies forms distinct stars and solar systems. big bang 5 to 10 billion years after The Earth is born. the big bang, or about 5 billion years ago 3.4 billion years ago The first biological life appears on Earth: anaerobic prokaryotes (single-celled creatures).

1.7 billion years ago Simple DNA evolves.

700 million years ago Multicellular plants and animals appear.

570 million years ago The Cambrian explosion occurs: the emergence of diverse body plans, including the appearance of animals with hard body parts (shells and skeletons).

400 million years ago Land-based plants evolve.

200 million years ago Dinosaurs and mammals begin sharing the environment.

80 million years ago Mammals develop more fully.

65 million years ago Dinosaurs become extinct, leading to the rise of mammals.

50 million years ago The anthropoid suborder of primates splits off.

30 million years ago Advanced primates such as monkeys and apes appear.

15 million years ago The first humanoids appear.

5 million years ago Humanoid creatures are walking on two legs. Homo habilis is using tools, ushering in a new form of evolution: technology.

2 million years ago Homo erectus has domesticated fire and is using language and weapons.

500,000 years ago Homo sapiens emerge, distinguished by the ability to create technology (which involves innovation in the creation of tools, a record of tool making, and a progression in the sophistication of tools).

100,000 years ago Homo sapiens neanderthalensis emerges.

90,000 years ago Homo sapiens sapiens (our immediate ancestors) emerge.

40,000 years ago The Homo sapiens sapiens subspecies is the only surviving humanoid subspecies on Earth. Technology develops as evolution by other means.

10,000 years ago The modern era of technology begins with the agricultural revolution.

6,000 years ago The first cities emerge in Mesopotamia.

5,500 years ago Wheels, rafts, boats, and written language are in use.

An excerpt from True Father’s words in his October 25, 1957 sermon Let Us Become the Ones Who Can Understand God’s Sorrow in which the Bible reading was Genesis 6:5-13

Genesis 6:5-13 (Contemporary English Version)

The LORD saw how bad the people on earth were and that everything they thought and planned was 5

evil. 6He was very sorry that he had made them, 7and he said, “I’ll destroy every living creature on earth! I’ll wipe out people, animals, birds, and reptiles. I’m sorry I ever made them.”

But the LORD was pleased with Noah, 9and this is the story about him. Noah was the only person 8

who lived right and obeyed God. 10He had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

God knew that everyone was terribly cruel and violent. 13So he told Noah: Cruelty and violence 11-12

have spread everywhere. Now I’m going to destroy the whole earth and all its people.

At this time when we are in adversity, after putting the load of burden down, we should be able to say proudly, “I am emancipated. I have hope, happiness, and I love all things in Heaven and on earth.” We should also become people who can transcend the standard in which we have already removed the sorrow of God and that of the creation.

In True Father’s message on June 7, 2005, the 43rd Day of All True Things, (Source: ffwpui.org) he said:

When you see pebbles kicked along unknowingly by your feet, or dandelions growing on roadsides and being trampled on and crushed, your heart should overflow with the mind of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, similar to that of God at the time of the Creation. Think how much He would have grieved if He had ever failed to create something to perfection, or if a leaf had fallen off and He had to make it whole again with a tearful heart. Anyone who ignores the fact that contained in all forms of creation are the touch and heart of the Creator will be lamented over and even cursed by creation. …the Unification Church members of today should realize how much God devoted Himself to creating all things from nothing, abiding by the standards He Himself had set.

Before there is unity, things are divided. Once they are united after that division, they will not be divided again. Once enemies come together as one, they do not part ways. The concept of an enemy does not exist within God’s love. There is only eternal unity. That is why peace, happiness and love coexist in this unity.

Love Can Build a Bridge Source of the lyrics

I’d gladly walk across the desert with no shoes upon my feet To share with you the last bite of bread I had to eat I would swim out to save you in your sea of broken dreams When all your hopes are sinkin’ let me show you what love means

Love can build a bridge, between your heart and mine Love can build a bridge, don’t you think it’s time, don’t you think it’s time

I would whisper love so loudly every heart would understand But love and only love can join the tribes of man I would give my heart’s desire so that you might see The first step is to realize, that it all begins with you and me

When we stand together, it’s our finest hour We can do anything, anything Keep believin’ in the power

Don’t you think it’s time Don’t you think it’s time

Two excerpts from True Father’s message given to the “Convention to Proclaim the Word that Firmly Establishes the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind” July 24, 2010

By proclaiming that Korea is God’s homeland, the Convention to Proclaim the Word that Firmly Establishes the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind could be completed in Korea on July 8, 2010. Through this proclamation ceremony, all the borderlines in the entire cosmos have been abolished. Consequently, centering on the autonomous God, heaven and earth shall exist eternally, night and day, under God’s reign and with the support of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.

Now that the era of restoration through indemnity has ended, what kind of era is dawning? The reign of tranquility and prosperity in the victorious authority centered on God and True Parents shall be eternal.
