What is the Fall? The Fall betrayed God and the heartistic relationship with Him. The Fall is what happened when human beings betrayed Him without completing the standard of conscience God wanted. The Fall occurred because human beings betrayed Him without establishing the ideal of God. The original point of the Fall was at the point when humankind lost the standard of the heart of God. Therefore, God came looking for humankind. When He came, He did not say, "Love your body. Love such-and-such kind of knowledge or learning." He said, "Come and stand with God's love." This is the standard which God established as the Principle's way. (10-98) Since the day Jesus was unable to complete the Will, God promised the Second Coming of the Messiah, the Lord of all Lords. What will this hero bring when he comes? He will come with the blessed land of the heart which human beings, history, this age and all of heaven and earth have hoped for. This is why God warned us. He did not warn us to have some kind of knowledge. He did not warn us to enjoy having power. In life or death, He warned us to come forward with the integrity of a bride. (9-56) What is it that God needs? God does not need money or knowledge. What kind of knowledge does God need? What will God say if you go to Him and say, "I am a doctor of natural history because I am very knowledgeable." Will He say, "Oh, you great one"? Or will He say, "Oh, you ugly one"? There is nothing you can boast about to God. God is the king of truth. God is the king of knowledge. If you say to Him, "I was a president of such-and-such a country," He will say, "You fool." You try to show God the authority of a president centering on your power, but God already has it all. Then what is it that God needs? It is not money and it is not knowledge. It's not even power. What God needs is love. (187-44) Isn't knowledge so? If new theories come, you will stick to them, right? You will follow them. That's what usually happens. Knowledge, power, then money, economy. What is called "economy" is something that is consumed. A unit of economy, or money, is always used. Why do we need money? It is to consume. You require consumer products that can replace all things. In order to live, we need consumer products. Where do the things we consumed go? They do not rotate after being consumed. There is only one side. It does not rotate. What is the only power that can rotate within this power? The power of love can rotate there. Love cannot rotate by itself. (180-144)
