1) The Reason that the Birthright Is Precious

Which one is more precious in the Principle view, Cain or Abel? [Abel] No, you do not know that point well. Abel is the younger brother and Cain is the older brother. Know this correctly! The position of the older brother is more precious than that of Abel-the second son. There is only one first son, but there are many younger sons. Can several people become the first son? The first son is precious because he is the only one. Isn't that so? There can be many second sons.

\God feels deep regret and resentment that He has had to allow the first son to be claimed by Satan during the providence for restoration. That is why contemporary history is so troubled and sick. What is the disease? Humankind is attacked by the disease of fallen love. The first son was born of diseased love. \It is impossible for man .to be elevated according to the standard of the original law unless this disease is understood.

What then is the purpose of setting up Abel? It is not just to save Abel's children, but to correct the tradition of a family along with the achievement of the proper birthright. The Unification Church members do not know this. Leaders think, "Um, I'm Abel!" and "That's it! We are in the position of Abel!" That is not all. The reason that you are chosen to represent Abel is to establish tribes under the restored first son. You are to exalt the realm of the first son first and then to receive the blessing, if the first son shares it with you. You are not the first son. Centering upon the Lord at the Second Coming, you should make a bond with the vertical spirit world. The bond with the horizontal world is not enough. It would be better if I explained this point in detail in terms of the Principle, but I speak simply like this because I thought that you already knew this. Because Reverend Moon of the Unification Church discovered this Principle, I could set up a powerful and logical system to explain why you must decide to "live for the sake of others." We are born to live for the sake of others. A man is born for the sake of a woman. (1985.12.22. Headquarters Church)
