Without love, you cannot make Satan surrender to you. In order to become a family qualified to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, there must be the conditions that God loved the fallen archangel and that the family of God's children also loved Satan. You must form a condition to make the satanic world surrender with love after going forth and fighting with them. You must be able to say, "I did not destroy the enemy by force; instead I restored the birthright by winning the voluntary surrender of the enemy." God must form the condition that He loved the enemy instead of killing him and that He loved the enemy Satan as a person substituting for Adam. Only when we win a voluntary surrender from the enemy Satan after enduring all persecution in tears, sweat and blood, and come back with God's love, are we qualified to receive the blessing. At that time, Satan will set you free. You must get an official recognition from Satan: "Ah! From now on you can become a child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven." At the entrance of the Kingdom of Heaven, you need Satan's signature first, next your signature and, finally, True Parents' signature. Only when you have True Parents' signature do you get to go to God. That is the Kingdom of Heaven. (1986.2.22. Headquarters Church) So far religious people and holy religious leaders have gathered at the gate to the Kingdom of Heaven. In order to enter there, you must love the enemy. Who is the enemy? If there had been no Fall, perfected Adam and Eve together with the archangel would have lived in the Kingdom of Heaven, dwelling in God's bosom. This is the original ideal of creation. Therefore, Satan, even though he is fallen, accuses God, "Even though I am fallen, is Your ideal of creation changeable?" It is not changeable. Satan continues to say, "Control me after realizing Your ideal," and, "Unless there is a condition that You and Your son restore the standard of love that existed prior to the Fall and love me with the same original standard, nobody can enter the Kingdom of Heaven." God cannot but agree with him. That is why Jesus on the cross had to pray for his enemy. (1989.11.15. Han-nam Dong House)
