Who is the Messiah? The Messiah is an ideal man whose mind and body are united into one centering upon God's love, and he is an original man who transcends the fallen nature. Such a person comes as a center of the universe; he leads people to be restored to the original nature so that they can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

What should the Messiah look for? A bridegroom looks for a bride, which is Eve. Eve was lost, so he must look for Eve when he comes to the earth. Parents' Day, centering upon the words "True Parents," was established for the first time in human history in the Unification Church because an original couple, a man and a woman centering upon God's original love, was found. (1983.6.11. World Mission Center)

It is absolutely wrong for Unification Church members to think that we have nothing to do with Christianity. Why is that so? The Old Testament Age and New Testament Age existed in order to restore True Parents. The Completed Testament Age also exists for the restoration of True Parents. The content of those three Ages is the same: restoration of True Parents. You should have such a concept. The Messiah is, in fact, True Parents; therefore, the essential content and purpose of Judaism, Christianity and the Unification Church are the same.

Then what is different? Judaism wanted to receive the Messiah on a national level, and then to expand it to the whole world. Christianity was formed after Jesus' death in order to receive the Messiah on the worldwide foundation. What about the Completed Testament Age? It is the cosmic level, the time of the desire to receive the True Parents even in the spirit world. The scopes are different. You must clearly differentiate them from one another. (1984.4.29. East Garden)

The Messiah should act as the True Father when he comes on the earth. Then what is the True Father? He is a horizontal father centering upon horizontal true love, representing the vertical True Father. Christians say that the Messiah is God and God is the Messiah. This is wrong. God is the vertical True Father. He is the only vertical Father. There is no other. The Messiah is the horizontal True Father. (1989.1.24. Il-Hwa Yong-In Factory)
