3) The mission of the Messiah

What is the meaning of the Messiah? The Messiah has the horizontal foundation begun after completing the vertical foundation. Then, who is the Messiah? The Messiah brings the inner plan for fulfilling God's will. He brings the purpose of co-righteousness-which God and mankind should follow-to accord with the vertical standard, and establishes the standard of the vertical substantiation of individual, family, tribe, people, nation, and world.

In all of reality there are only two existing beings that are proud of themselves. They are God and Satan. (laughing) Don't you think so? Two masters, good and evil, are fighting.

How excellent Satan is! Satan has dominated the entire human history as a master of evil, and has given so hard a time to God that God cannot move an inch. Who will finish this struggle between good and evil? Even God cannot finish the fighting, and Satan also cannot finish this. You may be hearing this for the first time. Who will end the fighting between evil being and good being? It is not Satan, not God. Then, who can finish that? It is only the true human who can end this fighting.

Without being the protagonist of true love, which all humankind can follow, you cannot end the fighting between God and Satan. If human beings are not liberated from this fighting, the word "peace" will remain a fantasy in human history, the word "ideal," just an abstract and emotional word.

Then, who can solve this problem of struggle? God sends his representative whose main thought is called the thought of the Messiah. The Messiah is the person who liberates not only human beings, but also even God. He is the Savior who judges evil and liberates God.

In Korean, "Savior" is "Gu Se Joo." The character "Se" refers to the world. From this perspective, God did not send the only begotten son to love only Christians, but to love the whole world. You Christians who recite John 3:16 well: did God say that "because God gave his only begotten son to love Christianity, whoever believes him will not perish but have eternal life"? Did you omit that God loves the whole world?

What is the mission of the Savior? It is to liberate God and judge Satan. Who can remove that chief instigator of long-lasting aggrievement who has given so great a false accusation against human beings? Even God cannot do that. Only the Messiah, the Savior can do that. What will the Messiah do? He comes as the commander of the struggle to win over the world, after establishing the foundation of God's sovereignty, land, and people of God's nation for the first time in human history. That is the mission of the Messiah. You should know this.

Satan cannot be subjugated only through winning over a nation. Because Satan already has worldwide sovereignty, his worldwide domination has to be expelled. Only when this is done can the realm of liberation of true freedom on the earth be realized.

As long as any accusation by Satan remains in the world, the ideal of the Garden of the Eden, which God had created as the Garden of Freedom and Peace, can never be realized. Only when there is no longer any more accusation by Satan can the Kingdom of God on earth be established. Only when the Kingdom of God on earth is established can the movement for the liberation of the Kingdom of God in heaven begin. This is the way in which members of the Unification Church must go forward. (57-130)

What does the Messiah have to do? He has to establish the victorious path by subjugating Satan and removing Satan's blood lineage at the levels of individual, family, tribe, nation, and world. This is the way for the Messiah to go forward. In other words, first he must establish the way for individuals to go, second, establish the way for families to go, third establish the way for the world to go.

After defeating Satan individually, if nation and democratic world attack him, being mobilized by the worldwide Satan, the Messiah has to overcome the attack. The same is true when he gains victory at the level of family and at the level of the world. When Jacob had victory over the angel, and when Abel struggled with Cain, the fighting was one to one. However, now is the time for God to liberate the whole world from Satan. For that, God needs a foremost representative nation. This is Korea. (54-190)
