1) The Core of the Ideology of the Second Coming What is the ideology of the Second Coming? It talks about the Messiah. The Messiah that I am talking about is me. You must inherit a new blood lineage. In order for you to inherit the new blood lineage, the Messiah comes as a father and he, together with Eve, on the victorious cosmic foundation where Satan cannot intervene, restores the world. He will establish sons and daughters in the bond of the husband and wife of the family unit and horizontally engraft them to his lineage. That is why there is the Blessing ceremony in the Unification Church. The Unification Church is different. Where did the blood lineage of the Unification Church originate? It originated from God. That is why the more the satanic world opposes us, the more they have to pay the compensation for damages. (1987.10.4. Headquarters Church) Because we human beings received Satan's blood lineage, we cannot go back to God by ourselves. The Messiah must absolutely restore the blood lineage contaminated by Satan. In order to change the contaminated blood lineage, the Messiah must come. Unless the Messiah comes, the blood lineage cannot be restored. The Messiah must come to earth because his root-his blood lineage-is different. Other religions do not know this fact. Only the Unification Church resolves the problem of the blood lineage and becomes the true root. This root is the deepest and the highest, so the Unification Church would be deeper and deeper and higher and higher. Because it will become higher than a nation and the world, people do not have any choice except to follow the Unification Church. They should know that Heaven stays with the Unification Church. From now on we can mobilize the good spirits of the spirit world. When Adam is perfected, he can control the archangels. Likewise, when you achieve the complete standard of goodness, the good ancestors in the spirit world take the position of archangels. You should play the role of a center as they expand the archangelic foundation to the worldwide level. Religion has the mission to resolve such matters. Only when religion fulfills its responsibility can the tribes become liberated. The history of liberation takes place according to the standard of goodness of each religion. The Unification Church is the world religion. Our root is different. We are to serve the Messiah and change our blood lineage. After chopping off all of the buds and uprooting the root of the past, you are to be engrafted to the Messiah's root and to become the Messiah's buds. We should bear the same fruits as the Messiah. (1988.1.7. former headquarters Church) 2) The Messiah is a True Olive Tree What did Jesus do on earth? He paved the way for defeating Satan, the leading one among all evil spirits. But he paved the way only fifty percent; that is why the Messiah must come to pave the way a hundred percent. God established religions to save this fallen world. This world became the field of the satanic world. The Bible mentions a wild olive tree which is controlled by Satan. Therefore, the mission of a religion is to create an olive tree which can be totally controlled by God. The field of wild olive trees belongs to Satan. He takes complete charge of it, so God cannot deal with any of these trees. A religion has to change the Satan-centered field of olive trees into a God-centered field of olive trees and to expand the heavenly field in order to create a foundation to excel the satanic realm of the evil olive trees. That is the purpose of the culture spheres of religions. God has been in the position to be deprived of the whole creation by Satan; however, because God cannot be defeated by Satan the ideology of the Messiah arises to provide the model of a true olive tree. The true olive tree-the Messiah-is not supposed to come alone. Because the satanic world is composed of societies and nations centering upon couples, the Messiah alone cannot become a true olive tree. Only when a true olive tree of the Messiah and a true olive tree of the Messiah's spouse become one, can the true olive tree fulfill its mission. Then it can bear fruit. Jesus was to come as a bridegroom and to look for a bride in order to create the field of true olive trees. He was supposed to chop off the wild olive trees of the satanic world and to engraft them onto him. The chosen people of Israel and Judaism were to prepare the environment for this. Where do you have to cut in order to engraft something onto another? Should you cut the neck or the legs? [We must cut the root.] Human beings are opposite from trees. The human soul is the root, so you should cut the human neck. When a bud of the Messiah's true olive tree is implanted in the chopped neck, the person becomes a true olive tree. I clearly taught you the principle of engrafting. Originally we are all supposed to be born as true olive trees, but due to the Fall we are born as wild olive trees. The history of salvation is the history to engraft the wild olive trees onto the true olive trees which can produce true fruit. That is why the history of salvation is the history of restoration. Therefore, God now lets His servants cut off all the wild olive trees. (1985.1.1. World Mission Center) 3) Fallen Man Must be Engrafted Onto the Messiah What is the uppermost religion among all contemporary religions? The religion which completely denies the fallen world, centering upon the logic of love. After denying the fallen world, the religion must develop more positive love than that which it denies in the fallen world. When the world transforms itself into such a world of love, the ideal world comes. What kind of place is the Unification Church? It is the place where God can experience love that He has never tasted before through relationships with human beings, and where God can implant the root of love in the human world as He has never done before. Reverend Moon, who established the Unification Church, must lead the history of engrafting into the one root, one trunk, one branch and one leaf of love centering upon God's love an individual, a family and so on, until the whole world is included. In order to be engrafted into the new root, you must cut off everything belonging to the satanic world. Where do you cut? Should you cut your legs? You must cut your neck. That is why Jesus said, "Those who want to die will live, and those who want to live will die." Those who want to cut their neck will live, and those who do not want to cut their neck will die, because our destiny is to be engrafted onto the new root. It is a very simple content. It is said, "In the Last Days, the world of happiness comes, and the Kingdom of Heaven on earth comes." The world should become one. If we do not become one in the Last Days, we will perish. We will be exterminated. God will burn us unless we become one. If there are only two persons who keep God's root of love, God will leave only the two and sweep away all the fake others. However, because He cannot sweep everyone away, He has to do the providential work of engrafting. God does bud grafting, so He wants to distribute bud grafts rooted in true love as quickly as possible. That is why the satanic world actively opposes us saying, "What kind of distribution is this? This is God's tactic to destroy our nation and our world." Externally the bud of a true olive tree and that of a wild olive tree look the same, but they are totally different. How wonderful it is when a child brings a bud of a true olive tree, which looks exactly like the bud of a wild olive tree, and says, "Oh! This is such a precious bud that I can never exchange it with the whole field of our wild olive trees. This is the bud of a true olive tree." Who can recognize this? Only God knows the value of it. This is charming because nobody else recognizes it. (1986.2.1. Headquarters Church)
