1) Messiahism is Absolutely Necessary for the World Humankind fell. Later, God dispersed people, and then, developing a special providence, has gathered faithful people and established new families, clans and nations. Among these nations Israel was the one which, representing others, took responsibility for God's Will. That's why Israel became the prime nation in the world. What is the Obone marrowO of the history of the prime nation? The history of humankind was to be developed on the foundation of the ideal standard of Adam and Eve, the first ancestors of humankind. But in reality, that did not happen. That is why a certain standard must appear to replace their fallen standard. This standard must be the standard which Christians wanted to establish. That is Messiahism. From the viewpoint of the bride, it is the ideology of the bride. Then what is the goal of Christianity? It is not a Christian nation or world, but is a world of faith. A tree must have a trunk. If a tree has too many branches with leaves, the tree may be too wide. If the branches are too long, the tree cannot stand well. In a similar way, if we symbolize all humankind as a tree, many nations are leaves and the prime nation is a trunk. If the trunk is perfect, the tree is all right. That's why, centering on the prime nation, God was going to form good nations and then a good world. Preparing a whole column, God wanted to connect the evil world to His love. God wanted to start a new history in this way. God has developed His providence for 6000 years with one purpose, and now we are living in the final phase of the providence. If the day of True Parents could have been established 6000 years ago, and if a people, society and world had been formed as originally planned, then today the earth would have been under God's dominion. The problem is that it didnOt happened. If one central nation appears, people of this nation have to offer to God all their heart, even though they cannot avoid confrontation with many other nations. The ideology of the prime nation should be completed. Also, the ideology for the world should be completed. On the foundation of this ideology, we have to be eager to see a new prime nation. No matter what kind of difficulty we will face, even if we should enter our historical enemiesO camp, we have to have an unchanging heart. Israel didnOt inherit this tradition even though they had a very precious mission. So, the second Israel, Christians, have continued their mission. Then what is Messiahism? Messiahism is an ideology for the world. The center which is able to unite the world, unite the family, is True Parents. Then how will the fruit of Christianity appear? Christianity has endured thousands of adverse circumstances to establish the standard of bride and bridegroom. Even though this world is in darkness and chaos, and is governed by a decadent culture rather than a brilliant culture, if we have connection with True Parents, we can live in a peaceful kingdom. That is why since the beginning of history many peoples focused their thoughts, spirits and lives to seek True Parents. God has worked to bring the world to unity externally, and through religions to connect the world to one master internally. Though Jesus lost Israel and the people Israel, he lived for God's world, the Kingdom of Heaven, throughout life. So, even though Israel perished, people of filial piety and fidelity found Jesus, and in the Last Days the world will move centering on God and His Christ. You should love your brothers, love the creation and live according to the True ParentsO will by your heart. Then, what is True ParentsO will? They want us to do goodness not only for Korea, not only for the world, but for the whole universe. In True ParentsO name you must represent all men and women, high and low. You must start from the individual level and go through levels of family, society, and nation and expand yourself to the world level to show humankind a common value. Then you can be called God's sons and daughters.
