People say that by believing in Jesus one can enter the Kingdom of God, but practically speaking, who can go to the Kingdom of God? According to these people, individuals go there. Until now, there was no religion that taught about salvation of the family. Religions have been teaching only about individual salvation. However, only when the concept of family-level salvation emerges can the door of the Kingdom of God be opened. So far, every religion has pursued individual salvation. Thus, the life of celibacy was emphasized to cultivate one's spirituality. The family became a kind of enemy for those going the way of truth. Jesus also said that members of your family are your enemy. After achieving the pinnacle of the way of truth, a religious person has to hold the authority of the world. Men and women have to attend the Blessing ceremony. The Kingdom of God is where sons and daughters get married and receive God's love. That is the Kingdom of God, the place where humankind does not fall and which He originally is to establish. Did Jesus go to the spirit world alone or with others? [He went there alone.] Because he went alone, he went to Paradise. Paradise is a waiting room to the Kingdom of God. It is not the ideal Kingdom of God. The ideal Kingdom of God is where couples enter together with their family members. Therefore, the Messiah has to come, Blessing bridegrooms and brides, and taking them to the Kingdom of God. God has had Jesus stay in Paradise. Therefore, Jesus should come again into the world, making his public inner foundation, and entering the Kingdom of God. In this sense, God's providence is not to be realized without a plan and formula. In the future, your father and mother will be saved. If a religion can save every family and teach everyone the way of salvation, is it good or not? From that point, the nation can be established. God's nation starts from the family. It cannot be established by the individual. In this sense, Christianity has no nation because Christianity is a religion in which unmarried men and women are gathered. You've seen Catholic priests and nuns, haven't you? In this world there are many Christian countries, but there is no country whose supreme ruler is a priest or member of the clergy. God's nation and the nations of the world are completely different. Christianity is a spiritual nation. Christianity doesn't have its own country on earth. Because of that, a great number of Christians have been killed so far. If they had had their own country, they would not have been killed. However, because they didn't have their own sovereignty, they became dispersed and were killed as groups. In the future, we should unify all Christianity and find our home, our country, and our world by having the national sovereignty. Christianity should do that. (41-346) Until now, there were not people of unified mind and body for God to love. Jesus also has had no such person to love. Therefore, Jesus is still praying in Paradise. That is why we should know the love of God, who is trying to embrace our whole mind and body. Only when we become God's children in the realm of God's love can we have dominion over all things. That world is God's restored world, the world of sovereignty, and the garden of rest. Then, turning our focus to the problem of the individual, what shall we do in this destined restoration? We should seek new thought. The time has come to do that. Sooner or later, the issue of the true way of life and the true view of the universe will be raised as the major problem. (5-49) Why didn't Jesus go to the Kingdom of God? The Kingdom of God was created by God as His gift, for living people, who do not fall, to enter. A person who lives according to the original standard can enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus was to save fallen humankind, and enter there with his children, standing in the position of parents of humanity. However, Jesus came and went alone, and he had no children. That is why he went to Paradise, which is like a waiting room to the Kingdom of God. So, Jesus should come again and find his bride. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve originally were to get married and establish the Kingdom of God. Although the first human ancestors fell, because the Principle remains, which must be fulfilled, Jesus must come again to complete the Principle. Because he went alone, he could not enter the Kingdom of God. This is why the Bible says that Jesus should come again and solve things on earth. (41-300) If not for the fall, the Kingdom of God would have been established. God's only begotten son and daughter would have married, formed a happy family in God's love, and come to dwell in the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God can be entered only by the family unit. Individuals cannot enter. Since Jesus did not form his family, he is waiting in Paradise, which is similar to a waiting room. The Kingdom of God cannot be entered by an individual. In this sense, the Kingdom of God is vacant. Thus, God's providence for restoration has been a sorrowful history. God lost Adam and Eve. This means God forfeited the whole clan of Adam and Eve, the clan expanded to the people, the nation, and the world. In losing one man, Adam, God also lost his only begotten son and daughter, God's sons and daughters, God's tribe, God's people, and the Kingdom of God centered on God's kingship. (143-25)
