What is the purpose of creation? Adam and Eve were not created just to look at. Man and woman were not created just to get old and die as individuals. They were created to establish the true Kingdom of Heaven on Earth centered on God through the reciprocal heart toward the opposite sex after reaching maturity, and to establish a love nest. Here Adam is the representative of heaven and Eve is the representative of the earth. They are two individuals. But if they become one horizontally it means the unity of heaven and earth. When two persons make unity centered on God's love, the entire cosmos will be automatically unified. The first ancestors should have become one, as a model of unity. Then the root centered on God's love would have become the root to form the foundation of mind and body. God created human beings to enter God's ideal world directly through the one way of following God's love. This direction is the way centered on God's love. The individuals were realized with mind and body unified in God's love, but the way that such a man and woman should go was changed because of the Fall. The Messiah, the Lord, is the person who was sent by God to resolve all these problems. The Savior saves people through recovering the lost love. Human beings were born through false parents because of the Fall, therefore he must come as the true parent, fulfill the love which human beings could not attain centered on God, and then teach people to enter the realm of God's love. All humankind has to find their True Parents again, the absolute origin of God's love. All the problems of the fallen worldNall the sadness, sorrow, suffering, wars, disease, and so onNcan be solved by setting up the core of love. The principle of heart is passed on in the family from parents to children. But the family was not established correctly in the beginning. The purpose of the history of restoration is to reestablish it. Here the representative of man is the Messiah and the representative of woman is the Holy Spirit. Because the engaged bride and bridegroom violated the heavenly principle in the beginning of the world, the new Bride and Bridegroom must be installed and set up as on the original stage. For this purpose God has conducted the providence for salvation. Because the humans fell God expelled them. Subsequently, He called groups of devout believers, through special dispensations, to form new families, tribes, and a new nation. The Israelite people were the representative people bearing the responsibility among the numerous peoples. So the people of Israel became the central people on the worldwide level. Human history was originally supposed to develop centered on the first ancestors, Adam and Eve. However, this was not realized. History should bring about the standard centered on the ideal, with the reappearance of the original ideology. It should be the standard of hope fulfilling the hope of Christianity. Namely, from the viewpoint of Christians, it is the thought of the Messiah and the thought of the Holy Spirit. What is the thought of the Messiah? It is living for the sake of the world. The center which can unify the family and the world is the True Parents. What is the fruit of Christianity? Christianity has been heading toward the standard of the bride and bridegroom, passing through numerous difficulties. With what qualification does the Lord come? He comes with the qualification of parents. However, when Jesus came on this earth, he could not attain the position of parents. Thus he could not fully attend God and bring glory to Him, nor could he establish the substantial foundation for consoling God on behalf of all humankind. That is why the Messiah must come again and why he cannot come as a glorious Lord. Therefore, the Messiah at the Second Coming has to succeed in the mission of Jesus on earth, carrying out his filial duty which can console God substantially. Furthermore, he is chosen by God to subjugate Satan. He has to establish the foundation which can return glory to God. Otherwise he cannot gain the qualification as True Parent. Even if this world cannot develop a resplendent culture, and instead became dark, confused and devastated, if it comes into relationship with True Parents, then it will become the kingdom of peace. A number of people have maintained the focus of thought, spirit and life centered upon this standard throughout history. God has guided history toward one world externally, in order to finally connect it internally, through religion, to its true owner.
