to restore humanity, minus any trace of evil, the fall, and fallen nature, to a original Purpose of Creation. Restoration through Indemnity

indemnification as that action or effort that must be done or paid because of

Therefore, the course of Restoration involves indemnifying or making amends for specific past evil actions, not just stopping evil and doing good (in general). The underlying reason for this providence is that, because the fallen nature and since Satan was responsible for initiating the current human family, he can lay claim to all of those descendants but so can God, as the original creator of humankind. In fact, the restoration history reflects mankind/s constant relationship jockeying between God and Satan. Man is situated in a mid-way position between God and Satan. The method to determine which side wins is through people making conditions of indemnity through which God or Satan can claim them as His own. Therefore, until people make a condition through which God can claim them as His own, there is no way God can restore them to the heavenly side. In like manner, unless Satan finds some condition through which he can attack a fallen person, he also cannot arbitrarily claim him for his side. Therefore, a fallen if he makes evil conditions.

Reversal of Dominion Multiplying Evil and Sin

Salvation, Blessing Restoration Course Course of the Messiah: Up to this point, I have spent a lot of time speaking about the role/position of fallen humanity in the Providence of Restoration to be rid of or erase the presence of evil or however, need to recognize that the ultimate purpose of both courses is none other than for fallen humanity to meet and occurs when the culmination of fallen humanities efforts meet through His chosen Messiah. Now, though these are two distinct courses entailing two distinct arenas of responsibility, Heart/Love and Wisdom/Truth, we can understand that the Messiah will reveal and encompass a comprehensive course through the new truth brought in order to support and empower those walking that course of restoration.

Colossal City in Space Amazingfacts.org Salvation, Blessing Restoration Course The Advent of the Messiah must occur as an actual, substantial event, rooted in the Original Principle of Creation, since the Advent comes in fact as the new Adam and Eve (I Corinthians 15:22,45 & Romans 5:14):

and Eve to be fruitful (individual perfection), multiply (establish the social realm of human life, beginning with the family), and to take dominion (stewardship and lordship of creation) was to take place substantially.

2) Spiritual growth, achievement, and life is grounded on the foundation of the physical body and must take place in the corporal world for it to then exist in the spirit of a person and the spiritual world (Matthew 16:19)

The supreme mission of the Messiah is to finally establish the world of the Three Blessings, the ultimate purpose and Will of God for humanity that should have been established by and through the first Adam and Eve. It must be done in the corporal world.

In addition the mission of the Advent is to save fallen humanity from sin, specifically original sin. In one sense we can wonder that God would be willing to contend with this corrupted human race at all, why not just leave us to our own devices and just invest in the expansion of goodness from the

heart of God. (Matthew 18:13-14)

So God also intertwined a way by which salvation and cleansing of sin could be extended to fallen humanity by the the Kingdom of God.

Salvation, Blessing Restoration Course Jesus Ministry: The focus upon Kingdom building and Kingdom living was absolutely dominant in the early ministry of Jesus. This Kingdom building and Kingdom living ministry was the underlying theme/message woven repeatedly throughout initial days of his public life. First came the shocking, urgent and electrifying proclamation by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:1-

kingdom of heaven is at hand . . .And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity ultimate purpose of Jesus coming was to qualify humanity to become citizens of a substantial Kingdom of heaven and further, to build/establish that Kingdom. In that light, Jesus ministry to save humanity from sin must be clearly understood as a prerequisite priority or step needed for humanity and Jesus to accomplish that ultimate goal.

and monumental insights is its clarification that the process and sacrament of rebirth is integrally connected to the persons of Adam and Eve. The Divine Principle explains that required that these two individuals, His first and true son and daughter, if tempted, avoid the Fall, reach perfection and become the originators, prototype, standard and model for all subsequent humanity who would be born through them, the True Parents of humanity.

Salvation, Blessing Restoration Course When Adam and Eve did not fulfill this plan of God, he did not discard it, but put into play the Providence of Restoration to reclaim the position of Adam and Eve or that of True Parents of humanity. At its core, the persons of the reclaimed Adam and Eve are synonymous with CLEANSING OF SIN = SALVATION = the persons and mission of the Messiah. This is the root and reason for ENGRAFTING = REBIRTH We can suppose that the offspring who are to born from the new and fully perfected Adam and Eve, or True Parents of Humanity, and the From Wikihow.com nothing to do with sin, at least from their birth, just as the first Adam and Eve initially were born without sin. But how is God to save the issue from the first and fallen Adam and Eve? In addition to the rebirth imagery we also have the imagery of engrafting, as well as cleansing. We do affirm that the plant being engrafted becomes part of the original tree. Or that a dirty person cannot be cleansed by taking a bath in muddy water, only a person who has no sin can cleanse humanity of sin and one would not engraft onto a unhealthy plant. However, to describe the process of prerequisite for entering into the Kingdom which is connected to cleansing of sin, in the imagery of the birth process, is revolutionary. In fact, there is an equal connection between salvation, engrafting, and rebirth: salvation = engrafting=rebirth. This clarifies that salvation involves a process likened to being born. Why? The answer lies in the revelation that being a sinner is not just about behavior or activity but, at its root, our state of sinfulness exists because we owe our life and birth to that first fallen action and thus belong to the realm that developed as a result of it.

Salvation, Blessing Restoration Course The Fall and Rebirth: Humanity was incorrectly initiated because of a mistake (remember, the children of Adam and Eve were not born in the Garden of Eden but after Adam and Eve had fallen and been expelled). So the cure for this illness must involve humanity being from and Adam and Eve who avoided the trap of Satan and acted state attacks sin at its root cause by effecting a transition and transformation al process away from the evil, ill-conceived root. What a stroke of genius and incredible strategy, a prescription/cure targeting the nature of the illness! Humanity needs to be born again to correctly and entirely circumvent the realm and history of the fall. At the very center of this re-birth or right-birth process is the position of the alternative and new life and birth givers, the Astrokapoor.com good and True Parents. This is why humanity must be born again through the new Adam and Eve, the True parents, who will give only by this process and sacrament that all humanity can be distanced from the realm of sin, especially the original sin, which can only be restored by a new Adam and Eve and stand as new beings. We cannot be born without parents. Who, then, are the good parents through whom we can be born again, cleansed of original sin and able to enter the Kingdom of God? Parents who have original sin cannot give birth to children who do not have that sin.

Salvation, Blessing Restoration Course Rebirth and Jesus demoralized and scattered. After his resurrection, however, Jesus gathered them in one place and commenced a new phase of the providence: the restoration of spiritual Canaan. The disciples chose Jesus was meant to be the parent who came from Heaven. Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot and fill the vacancy among the He came as the True Father in order to give rebirth to twelve. By believing in Jesus and following him at the cost of their live, they laid the spiritual foundation of substance and the spiritual fallen people, transforming them into good children, foundation for the Messiah. Upon this foundation, Jesus ascended from thoroughly cleansed of original sin and fit to build and the position of the spiritual mission-bearer of John the Baptist to the enter into the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Thus, it is position of the spiritual messiah and sent the Holy Spirit. Thereupon, Jesus and the Holy Spirit became the spiritual True parents and began born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of the work of giving rebirth. Ever since the descent of the Holy Spirit at the Pentecost, the resurrected Jesus as the spiritual True Father and the Jesus Christ from the dead (I Peter 1:3). Jesus came as the Holy Spirit as the spiritual True Mother have worked in oneness to True Father who Adam had failed to become. For this grant spiritual rebirth by spiritually engrafting believers with them. This is the work of spiritual salvation, which established a realm of the Everlasting Father (I Cor. 15:45, Isa 9:6). However, a resurrection inviolable by Satan. Even though we may by faith unite father alone cannot give birth to children. There must be a the case with Jesus himself, In other words, our physical salvation still True Mother, as well as a True Father, for fallen children remains unaccomplished. Still, if we believe in the resurrected Jesus, he to be reborn as good children. will guide us to enter spiritually his realm of resurrection, which is invulnerable to satanic invasion. There we are released from the condition which allow Satan to accuse us, and we are spiritually saved.

Salvation, Blessing, Restoration Course Spirit, the spiritual True Parents of humankind as the channel for humanity to gain for salvation and rebirth to the foretold Second Advent of the Messiah. Why is this advent necessary, what must that coming Messiah accomplish, and how will that be done? If you have learned anything from this presentation, you might surmise the providence of the Second Advent of Christ will have something to do with continuing the restoration of Adam (and Eve), substantiating the rebirth process, and moving forward in the

The Second Advent will be the time where Christ (Adam) must come to complete the rebirth/true birth process in both spirit and body. This requires that Christ (Adam) find Eve, and together they will fulfill the prophesy in the book of Revelation, Chapter 21, of the marriage of the lamb and the establishment of the Kingdom of God, the new heaven and the new earth. That means that the Second Advent of Christ must find his Bride, they must marry and stand as the True Couple and True Parents of Heaven, earth and humankind. This new Adam and Eve will be responsible to provide rebirth to humankind and stand as the True Tree(s) that those who were born into humanity can be truly and fully saved and purged from the root of sin and a sinful lineage to a sin-free future and lineage. Please refer back to my points that this Advent must be substantial and on the earth. That the Christ will return as a man born of woman who will not be Jesus as he will have his own name (Rev. 12 and14). This Christ (Adam) must find Eve, also born of woman, who will embody the Holy Spirit Medium.com substantially. The next question is the method or how this providence will take place! In the Unifications’ understanding and teaching, this process is to be accomplished through the SACRAMENT OF THE BLESSING!

Salvation, Blessing The Blessing: Substantial Rebirth I will not go into detail at this time regarding all the aspects, components, and ceremonies of the Blessing Sacrament, which make it a substantial indemnity condition and providence, a complex process with the power to remove original sin, through engrafting couples onto the True Parents (New Adam and Eve) and the new lineage that flows from that source, the rebirth process. An introduction to that providence will be briefly covered in the coming presentation. Let me instead convey the following as an introduction to that providence (from the Divine principle):

Christology, we must have the original sin removed before we

Fall. This is possible only when we are born anew through the Messiah, the True Parents. To explain further: we first need to go through a course to separate Satan from ourselves. We do this in order to restore ourselves in form to the spiritual level which Adam and Eve had reached before the Fall-the top of the growth stage. On this foundation, we are to receive the Messiah and be reborn and thereby be fully restored to the original state of human beings before the Fall. Finally, by following the Messiah, we should continue our growth to maturity where we can fulfill the purpose of creation. The Actual Marriage of the Lamb
