2) Jesus and a Group of 7,000

Israel and Judah, which had been divided, had to be united. Israel was the Cain-realm and Judaism was the Abel-realm. Elijah killed all 850 prophets of Baal in order to unite the Israelites under God's Will centering on the nation of Judah. However, the Israelites tried to kill Elijah. God is alive. He is a living God. The Israelites who had returned to this living God, were supposed to support and protect Elijah. However, to the contrary, they tried to kill him.

Therefore, when Elijah ran away to spare his life, while he was asleep under the tree, God gave bread and water, and helped him along the way. Elijah entered into a cave in Mount Horeb, and said at the last moment, "There is no one remaining but me. Please take my life away and let me ascend." God replied that there was still a group of 7,000 people who had not surrendered to Baal. Even if the Israelites in general opposed him and all twelve tribes opposed him, if Elijah could unite those 7,000 prepared people, he could establish the indemnity condition for the coming of the Messiah. Therefore, if there was a unified group of 7,000, there was a way to open the path again-the path to consummate the situation in which God could emerge. (165-289)

The one who came later in Elijah's stead was John the Baptist. John the Baptist, therefore, saved a group of 7,000 among the Israelites. When a new sect which followed Jesus was formed and became Abel, they had to find a group of 7,000 from the nation of Israel and Judaism. The entire nation had to be saved centering on the new way of baptism. However, Judaism and the neighboring country opposed it. If John the Baptist, who had gathered 7,000 people, had offered them to Jesus and completely united with him, Jesus would not have had to die. If they had united with Jesus, the right and the left would have been united.

There, 12 tribes and 72 disciples would have been formed. In our terms, if they had formed 36 couples, 72 couples, and 120 couples, and then 7,000 couples, Jesus would not have died. They would not have perished. Because this was not accomplished, Jesus stood in the position to be taken by Satan. When Jesus was crucified, there came to exist two thieves, one on the left and one on the right. The lack of his foundation became the condition for the division of the right and the left. Because God did not have a group of 7,000 people, the division of the left and the right emerged. (169-208)
