Our Unification Church is using the term, True Parents. When we look at the history of the fallen world, we find that fallen parents were born in this world and established the fallen world.

In this sense, this world became the world of the fallen parents having nothing to do with the True Parents and God's original ideal. Therefore, no matter how many people may have lived in this world, there has been no one who could take pride in his life as a totally successful person and stand before the universe saying, "Ah! I was the happiest person in the world and succeeded in all directions."

Therefore, we are saying that the history of the world is like a sea of anguish. It is the history of tragedy, of war, and of disease. It is because of the Fall that human history has been a tragic history.

What is the first desire of each human? It is to become a perfect person. Then, where can we find such a person, one who can stand in front of absolute and perfect God? How can a perfect person be realized? To the present, humankind has tried to find the answer to this problem through philosophy and religion; but now humankind lies in the situation of surrender. This is the present human situation. (137-81)

Throughout fallen history, the deep-rooted desire of each human has been to meet True Parents and attend them. The reason that God established the nation of Israel and Judaism was to prepare for the attending of the Messiah. Then, what kind of person is the Messiah? He should be a True Parent. The reason why God established Christianity and its cultural sphere was to make a foundation for people to attend the Lord at the Second Advent. Who is the Lord at the Second Advent? He is the True Parent who comes as the third Adam.

The time when True Parents come is the era in which the nations of the world exist as brothers under True Parents. Therefore, after the Second World War, victorious countries had to liberate the countries they defeated. This is because nations that were in the position of elder brothers had attacked nations in the position of younger brother. It was because this occurred during the time of the True Parents that this unusual history developed.

That for which history has been looking is True Parents. The purpose for the appearance of religion was also to meet True Parents. The purpose that nations and the world emerged was also to meet True Parents. All were to prepare the providential path of True Parents. (51-354)
