Jesus is mentioned as the last Adam in the Bible. Reverend Moon is called "father" in the Unification Church. This means the third Adam. The third Adam is to indemnify the failures of the first and second Adams. Parents made mistakes, so parents should take responsibility to restore them.

Why do you have to be obedient to my words? Because I established the global condition for individual restoration through indemnity. I established the standard for individual restoration through indemnity globally.

Next, what must happen? I am supposed to go forth. In the original Garden of Eden, the first son is supposed to go the way of the Principle. The first son and the first daughter are supposed to go through formation, growth and completion periods first. By doing this, they are to be perfected.

Father is the representative of the Abel world. I am in the position of the second son. I came as a third son, so I must restore the standard which the first son Adam reached. The first son and the first daughter were supposed to traverse the way to perfection first. That is why I cannot reach perfection in the position of the third son. I must go forth and restore the elder son's birthright. I must fight, and come back after winning a natural surrender from the first son.

Then the first son must push me up, saying, "Go ahead! Because you belong to the heavenly side, you must go ahead of me; I cannot go first." Unless he pushes me to go up, I cannot go up. I must go by receiving the inheritance that allows me to go instead of the first son. After winning a victory on the family level, one is supposed to go to the tribal realm and to win a natural surrender from the first son on the tribal level. Then one should go on to the national realm. In religion, there is a term called "leaving home." Why is one supposed to leave home? Nobody knows without understanding the Principle. (1985.12.24. Headquarters Church)

People did not know why religion had to go through the suffering course and why religion has developed in the midst of receiving persecution. Reverend Moon is the first person who clarifies the secret content regarding the spirit world, religious world and the world of mystery that has been known only to God and Satan. This is not a futile argument. Try witnessing. When a person is strongly determined to go to the Unification Church, a satanic phenomenon surely takes place. This is a very clear formula.

In order to win a victory, one must go forth and restore the birthright. There must be a situation in which the first son serves his younger brother as his older brother, and the first son must be convinced to receive the blessing through his younger brother. The first son must be in the position of the second son, and the second son must go up to the position of the first son. The birthright on the tribal level and on the national level is restored when the first son pushes the second son, urging, "Go up, instead of me!" Only when the first son pushes the second son up, can he climb one more step higher. Since this is the Principle, the standard of restoring the birthright must be completed, otherwise God's providence cannot be accomplished. This is the secret of religious history.

So what is "leaving home" in religious terms? In order to go a true religious way, one must leave his home and his nation. (1986.1.21. Headquarters Church)
