What does God look for? Before establishing the true position and meeting the true tribe, He must find a true family. Before seeing a true family, He must find a true man and a true woman. For thousands of years since the beginning of human history, God has been calling constantly, "Let the man that I am looking for appear! Let the woman that I am looking for appear!" Actually, human history is much more than several thousand years. We mention 6,000 years of human history as according to the Bible, but it should be lengthened to ten million years. Even now we talk about over 2.5 million years. For several million years while humankind has been developing, God has been calling, "My man and My woman! Where are you?"

Human beings in the fallen world also look for one man. There are so many men in the world, but they all are fakes. Everybody, man or woman, hopes to see the exemplary man-the real man-that God desires to see and that all women long for as an ideal man. Who is such a hoped-for man? He is the Messiah.

Who is the Messiah? His responsibility is not just to save individuals. More importantly, he has to save the Messiah's family, to save the Messiah's nation beyond his family and to save the Messiah's world beyond his nation, and, most importantly, he should liberate God, who is the Lord of the Messiah.

Some religious people think, "I must go to the Kingdom of Heaven alone." Those people are in deep trouble. A wife must think to send her husband to the Kingdom of Heaven first and then she must think to follow him there. It is wrong to think that she must go to the Kingdom of Heaven alone, abandoning her husband. The Unification Church is a group of people who want to send a families, nations and the whole world to the Kingdom of Heaven first. The one who wants to liberate even God first and then go to the Kingdom of Heaven is a person like Jesus. That is the Messiah's responsibility.

The Messiah does not think, "Oh, I must quickly enter the Kingdom of Heaven." The Messiah is responsible for sending individuals, families, tribes, people, nations and the world to the Kingdom of Heaven. He is also responsible for liberating all people in hell and sending them to the Kingdom of Heaven, because he is the one who is determined to carry all the sadness of God on his shoulders.

Such a man is the Messiah! The Messiah never dreams of thinking, "I will live happily in the Kingdom of Heaven alone." He has to send all humankind to the Kingdom of Heaven, and when people in the Kingdom of Heaven look for him saying, "Where is the Messiah? Come on in! Come on in!"-only then can he enter it. If only an individual tribe asks him to come in, he cannot enter. Only when all humankind asks him to enter, and he looks back to make sure that nobody behind him needs his help, he can finally agree to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Such a man is the Messiah, and this is the ideology of the Messiah.

God does not feel comfortable to see hell, so the Messiah is to liberate God from seeing hell and to create the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven. Only when God can finally see that the work of salvation is completely finished will the Messiah be willing to go to the Kingdom of Heaven. These are very serious sentences and the most precious words of all.

There is no need for an individual Messiah who wants to carry only the individual cross. If there is only an individual Messiah, God would have to look again, for a family level and tribal level Messiah. Because the Messiah is responsible for representing everyone, from an individual to the whole world, he will want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven only after the salvation of all humankind is finished and they have safely entered the Kingdom of Heaven. What did Jesus call himself? He said he is the shepherd and we are the sheep. (1989.3.1. Headquarters Church)

The Messiah has nothing to do with the fallen realm. Because he comes as the subject of original love, he bears no relation to the fallen realm. He was born as an original son, just like God's son and daughter in the Garden of Eden before they had anything to do with the Fall. (1983.6.5. America)
