When God desired to recreate humans, until conditions were established by them through which He could claim His ownership over material, He just could not do it. What is the condition through which God can claim His ownership? At the time of creating Adam and Eve, God extracted all of the essence from all things in heaven and on earth. Then they belonged to God. However, due to the Fall, all of them became Satan's. Then, how can they be restored as God's? It can be done through indemnity conditions. Through establishing indemnity conditions for re-creation, investing all of your hearts and minds, you should take them back from Satan's realm.

For this, a condition of having tithed has been required. On that foundation a price for your blood is paid. Jesus paid with blood as the standard of indemnity conditions. Unless you can establish a condition that can bring unity with God's heart, through offering blood, sweat and tears, you cannot do it.

What is Satan? First, Satan thinks of himself. He is self-centered. Second, he has a concept of his own ownership. Third, he is self-centered on love. These are three elements that Satan has.

To form certain indemnity conditions, material things are required. The reason we are supposed to tithe lies here. The number 9 is a number of the fallen world, and the number 10, as God's number, is a number to liberate the it from Satan.

The seeds of all things were picked by humans before the time was ripe. Even during the course of entering the land of Canaan, there was a 3-year separation period. (10-217)

Ladies and gentlemen, do you like tests? [No.] Still, you need them, right? [Yes.] What if you do not have them? Those who did not pass the tests are useless. They are just useless. The more you pass difficult tests, the better person you shall become. Now, I am almost done with today's sermon. Further, you also want me to finish soon, right? Well, we need persecutions. In the fallen world, without persecutions you cannot return to God. Do you understand?

Tithing is a way to restore the persecution from the material realm. If you do not tithe, the number 9 will accuse you. Persecution by material... Do you understand what I am trying to say? One tenth of something material indicates an offering object. Offering object. It become a most precious offering object. Do you understand?

All of the offering objects should be pure, without having experienced the first love. In primitive times, a virgin female was sacrificed as an offering object, right? The first love. You should offer the first love to God. You should be connected to God through the first love. Next, we should surrender centered on material offering objects, following the protocols of Cain and Abel.

The era of the material offering was continued through the Old Testament Age. Then, what comes next? The New Testament Age was an era in which people sacrificed themselves as offerings. In the Old Testament Age blood was shed, and also in the New Testament Age. The difference is that the former was that of animals, and the latter that of people. Now is a time to shed blood of heart. Blood of heart. Blood of heart. Isn't it strange? We are in such an era. Right? That is why the Unification Church members suffer in their hearts even if we haven't done anything wrong. (107-292)
