Father has to offer sacrifices standing in the positions of Adam, Noah and Abraham. By doing that, Father inherits the heartistic foundation.

Father erected the condition for the restoration of all the failures of 36 generations and became the ancestor of humankind. But it is not enough just to be an ancestor. Where did the battle start? It started from Cain and Abel. Their descendants then fought with one another: so the world became a battlefield. This should be indemnified. For the indemnification of the historical battle, sons and daughters of 36 generations should establish the condition not to have fought with one another but to have become one before God. That's why Father erected the 72 Couples, twice the number 36--in order to represent both Cain and Abel.

The 72 Couples establish the historical four-position foundation of harmony between Cain and Abel. Therefore, the absolute standard for defeating Satan was established. Do you know how serious the position of the 72 Couples is?

The 72 Couples were established on the foundation of the 36 Couples. The 72 Couples symbolize the restored Cain and Abel. In order for Adam and Eve to stand in front of God as the true human ancestors, Cain and Abel should be completely one. The 36 Couples symbolize Adam. They can be qualified as parents on the foundation of the oneness of Cain and Abel-the 72 Couples.

The 72 Couples are in the position of Jesus' 70 disciples. The oneness of 70 disciples means the establishment of the indemnity condition on the earth. This means that God's providential foundation can gradually extend into larger scopes on earth.

The Blessing of the 36 and 72 Couples means the completion of the ancestral families. It also means that God's providence can extend into the tribal and national levels on the foundation of the perfect family. The God-centered four-position foundation is to be completed on earth through the Blessed families.

The 72 Couples' Blessing represents the completion of the vertical four-position foundation centering upon God, and it represents the establishment of the central point for God's providence. God could extend His providence horizontally on the foundation of the vertical four-position foundation. On this victorious foundation, the 124 Couples' Blessing was possible.

Father proclaimed Parents' Day on March 1 (lunar calendar) of 1960 and Children's Day on October 1 (lunar calendar) of 1960. Therefore, Father had to find 12 children to represent each of the three stages of formation, growth and completion. These were the 36 Couples. Next, in order for the indemnification of Cain and Abel, 72 Couples came about. Finally, the families were to expand to the national and worldwide level.
