The Fall is the deviation from the realm of the ideal blessing. That is why fallen people come under the dominion of Satan. All the first sons became Satan's sons. Because of this, the first sons in Egypt were struck down. Why were the second sons blessed by God in biblical history? Without knowing the principle of restoring the birthright, biblical history is like a riddle. In the story of Esau and Jacob, Jacob with his mother received the blessing by deceiving Esau. God knew that Jacob had deceived Esau and He still blessed Jacob. This has been a mysterious riddle which cannot be logically explained in terms of the teachings of conventional religions.

There is no way to solve this riddle without knowing the Divine Principle of the Unification Church. The Unification Principle is not something ambiguous. It has the Principle of Re-creation. The Principle of Creation was violated, and it has to be reestablished. The Principle of Creation is eternal. Centering upon such an unchanging, eternal principle, God has been leading the way of restoration throughout history. (1986.1.21. Headquarters Church)

According to God's law of love, the second son is not supposed to go directly to his parents; instead he is supposed to have his first brother represent him. Because the first son committed sin, he should push his younger brother to represent him in front of their parents. In this way, the second son goes to the parents, instead of the first son. Even though the older brother came before the younger brother, the younger brother is more advanced. The second son receives the blessing in the Bible because he gets persecution. (1986.11.17.
