1) Two Kinds of Children

The members of the Unification Church have two types of children; one is their spiritual children and the other is their own children. Why is this so? Even you church leaders do not understand the reason. I have to give you another lecture. [Because we can love our own children only after finding spiritual children.] What you say makes some sense.

The path of restoration is going out and returning. In order to go and then return, in order to pay indemnity... This is the spiritual world, this is the children of the angelic world. The fallen world is the world of sons of angels. They are Satan's sons, and they are the sons of angels who are the betrayers of God.

The sons of angels who have betrayed cannot just enter the lineage of Adam and God. For this reason, they must be put in the position of the sons of angels who have not betrayed.... This position is the same as the position of Adam before the Fall. You need three of these sons. You need three archangels, or in the course of history you need three children of Adam's family. Moreover, after that, you have to go through the three stages of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You have to go through the three stages through the angelic world that represents everything and the whole world of creation. Man is the center of all the number threes. In this sense, the three spiritual children symbolize the domain of archangel which is claimed by God's side and represents the angelic world and the world of creation. For this reason, they are angels that God can rule over.

It is the angels who must originally educate Adam and Eve. Rather than God educating them, until they grow to become adults they are to be raised and educated by angels. Similarly, spiritual children must help their spiritual parents to reach to heaven. When due to the assistance of the spiritual children the parents can reach to heaven, the spiritual children can go along with them based on the condition of participation. Do you understand? [Yes] In this way the three angels of the angelic world become restored, and the three sons of Adam are restored, and the three sons of Noah are restored, and the condition is set to enter the position which represents the whole that is in three stages.

The meaning of having become completely one is that in the Garden of Eden, centering on Adam who has not fallen, the three angels have become totally one with him. Based on this unity, they are to move into the domain of God's blessing. Do you understand what I am saying? [Yes]

Isn't this how it is originally? Just as how before the Fall the three archangels were supposed to become one in front of Adam and Eve and long for the day of their marriage, spiritual children must earnestly desire for their spiritual parents to receive the blessing. Do you understand what this means? [Yes] However, because of the mistake of the archangel, all the angels are in the position of accusation.

When the parents give birth to their children and love them after having done this and having received the Blessing, the satanic world cannot demand an indemnity condition and make accusations. This is the Principle. Do you understand? [Yes] If there was no Fall, the angelic world would be one centering on Adam and Eve. Because the physical and spiritual world will become totally one, in that place of oneness, as Adam and Eve rise to the position of Blessing the satanic world will completely fade away. (127-52)
