For the New Testament Era, Elijah was expected to come prior to the coming of Jesus. However, the nation of Israel and Judaism were not united. God's Will is accomplished only when the realm of Cain and Abel are united. John the Baptist, who came in Elijah's stead, had to unite with Jesus. John the Baptist was chosen as a representative to unite the realm of Cain and that of Abel, the nation of Israel and Judaism.

The land of Judea is small. You can go around the whole area in just four hours. It is relatively easy to restore such a small country. God set up this small country and conducted His dispensation.

John the Baptist and Jesus had to be united centering on religion. The time of Elijah was also a chaotic era in thought, which included the worshipping of a wooden statue of Asherah and of Baal. At the time of Jesus, which was a late Roman era, things were chaotic and complicated centering on the philosophical background of Hellenism. Some went the way of Babylon and worshipped various gods. Things were so chaotic and complicated. People had to manage all of these situations and unite with Jesus as individuals. Upon this foundation, Jesus could secure the position of parents, and after that, he could establish kingship upon it. Once he established the nation, he would embrace Rome centering on the nation, uniting twelve Arabic tribes. They would establish one nation including the entire Arabic realm.

Just like Cain and Abel, the Israeli and Arabic nations today are fighting as enemy countries, and the ancient failure to unite them must be indemnified.

Who is going to unite them? It is Rev. Moon. Rev. Moon is now establishing a unity among them. International conferences and political meetings cannot be successful without my support. We have come to such a stage at this time. Unless we indemnify such complicated historical mistakes, we cannot solve all of these present problems.

In front of Jesus, if there had been a group of 7,000 centering on John the Baptist united with him, comparable to the group of 7,000 who had not surrendered to Baal, how could Jesus have died? If he had had a group of 7,000 he would have formed his own family. He would have formed not only 12 disciples, 70 disciples, and 120 disciples, but also his own clan, and it would have absorbed the clan of John the Baptist, and this would have led to the formation of the new foundation for kingship. If he had had this group of 7,000, how could he have died? Nobody has solved this grievous misfortune.

At the time of the Second Coming, this failure has to be dissolved. While I was in Danbury, I was in the position to dissolve the failure of the Old Testament and that of the New Testament. I had to connect the 7,000 most famous people in American government. While I was in Danbury, I sent a set of video tapes and books, weighing five pounds, to three hundred thousand ministers. They were surprised by discovering the contents of Unification Church. (1985/12/29)

A group of 7,000 people had to be united in front of Jesus, However, those whom Heaven chose and prepared were lost. This must be restored through indemnity. So, while Father was in prison in Danbury, he put in place the education of 7,000 ministers. Do you understand? Father educated 7,000. There was no one in America and the American churches who stood on the heavenly side. While the Unification Church stood on Abel's side, if 7,000 people from America and American churches could establish the condition of unity and follow the path of Abel, the indemnity condition could be established. For this reason, what Father did in prison was to educate a group of 7,000. They were ministers. Father established the indemnity condition through a group of 7,000 centering on CAUSA. How difficult it was to connect a group of 7,000! (1987/5/27)
