3) The Progress of History

Viewed from the perspective of the Principle and its laws, the world today is not a simple world. This world is to be restored. Originally, there was be a realization of a global culture through the connection with the Parents in Heaven. But until today, all was done based on Satan.

The original history of creation was that centering on Adam and Eve a world would evolve smoothly, but since that was not materialized, there had to be conflicts during the course of restoration through indemnity. (16-199)

Until now, the history of fallen man has progressed centering on the standard of seeking future development, from the individual, to the family, nation, world, and cosmos. But this is not how it should be. It has been six thousand years since the fall of Adam and Eve. If humanity had had the worldview which led them to cherish the day now six thousand years ago rather than place all hopes in a world to be developed, now six thousands years later, then the world would have already been unified. But because humanity was in the position of ignorance where they had no choice but to hope only in some future, the history of restoration was prolonged until today. (25-115)

Those in the daytime mock those in the night, but you must know that history was advanced by those who were mocked and chased. Those who were chased around and driven out have revolutionized the world and brought its progress. (27-312)

Only after walking through the path of night and going past the midnight, can one greet the bright morning light. Therefore, those who did the chasing and driving have not actually brought destruction. Instead of blocking people's path, they have made contributions by chasing them forward and encouraged them . In this way, history until today made continual advancement by those who were being chased. (27-312)

What is the ultimate cardinal point with which we can pursue an ideal and bring the resolution? It is the words of God. In other words, we should know that history advanced until today in order to determine a standard through which the truth sought by humanity and the truth that God tried to establish join together as one, and this in turn becomes one with God. The external world evolved also in preparation for this standard of truth. In other words, the material world also has been making progress. This task was assigned to science. (20-301)
