In God's providence, in order to realize His Will, God has gone through a historical course of so many situations. Throughout the course of history humankind has lived in different cultural backgrounds due to differences in climate or the environment or their geological surroundings, and at the same time have had different habits and customs. Therefore, we cannot help but think that in order to fulfill the providence for salvation, in order to deal with each individual, in order to deal with each family, in order to deal with each society and nation, God carried out dispensations appropriate to each of the different backgrounds of humankind and to each of the different cultural backgrounds.

When seen from this position, when we say that history develops in the will of God's providence it is a logical conclusion to say that there are both mainstream and subsidiary providential courses for the realization of God's providential history. Looked at this way, although there are many religions in the world, at first God established incomplete, superstition-like religions, then through the course of history He caused them to seek God, and then gradually, very gradually, he united them into high-level religions. Finally, He will lead them into the era of the completion of the providence for salvation through the ideal of one religion. Since God is a God who loves the world, it logically follows that He would carry out the providence in that way. (121-295)

Centered on the many different cultural backgrounds or national environments, God made many religions appropriate to them and gathered them together, and since they were spread out like the fingers and toes, he gradually unified them. Now, as you know, there are four great religious culture spheres. They are the spheres of Christian culture, Buddhist culture, Islamic culture and Confucian culture. In the end, they must become one. All results appear according to what was sown. Because our human ancestors sowed the tragedy of the separation of the mind and body and their struggle, that kind of resultant world had to appear. Therefore, there is a world centering on people of the mind and there is a world centering on people of the body.

The conclusion is what I said before: The mind became the dwelling place of God, and on the other hand, the body became the dwelling place of the evil spirit. But a good entity and an evil entity cannot exist in the same place without fighting continuously. Therefore if we look at the world today, the democratic world and the communistic world are both hoping for a leader who can find the way to the new world of oneness. Almost all religions have concepts of the Second Coming, and all of them are waiting for a leader who can unite religions into one and let the people of the world live well.

From now on, what is the problem of the world? It is religion. Even if ideological problems are solved, it is not enough if a thought system cannot resolve the religious problem. These kinds of complicated problems cannot be solved blindly. The process must follow fundamental rules. If God exists, that God must find the path which can solve things according to an official course following the fundamental rules. (54-27)

Today our Unification Church should become a religious group doing what kinds of things? It must become a religious group able to unite churches. It must become a church able to unify churches. To do that, if we look at the problem of what must be done to unite them and make them into one, we must first go before God with conviction that we can fulfill our portion of responsibility. Without doing that, as the Unification Church which has the name of church, we have no way of fulfilling our mission. (63-325)
