In order for the individual to rest, the resting realm of the family has to be established. That is, the fence on the family level has to be made. Isn't that so? In order for the family to rest, the fence on the tribal level has to be made. If there is no fence, the family or tribe can always be invaded. Then, in order for the people to rest, the fence on the national level has to be made. In order for the nation to rest, the fence on the world level has to be established. In this sense, only after establishing the worldwide fence, can the nation rest. In order for the world to rest, the fence of unification between the spirit world and world of earth has to be established. After that, the Kingdom of God on earth can be realized, which God's love can spread all over the world. Through that process, the Kingdom of God on earth is established automatically. Do you follow? [Yes] (68-20) The place where we want to live is the heavenly country. Are there any borders in the heavenly country? [No!] Does the heavenly country have two languages? [No!] Is there segregation? [No!] What is the heavenly country? Centering on God, all humans are siblings because they are sons and daughters of God. In the Kingdom of God on earth, all humans are citizens of the Kingdom of God. Three elements are needed to establish a country: the first is sovereignty, the second is people, and the third is land. Did this world become the place that God rules over? [No!] Did all the earth become God's country? Did the world become God's people? Though you talk about the Kingdom of God, God's country cannot be established until the world is united into one. Because world unity is not yet established, and Cain and Abel still remain, the history of struggle continues. Therefore, we cannot rest in this situation. We don't want to live in the process of restoration, but in the Kingdom of God. We have to establish God's country. Our living place can be prepared only when God's country is established. In order to prepare our living place, we must fight, investing our utmost effort. If we do not establish God's country, our descendants will be pitiful people. We should not be the ancestors who leave such a burden to our descendants. (66-281) Jesus is dwelling in Paradise, isn't he? [Yes!] He cannot enter the Kingdom of God. In order to enter the Kingdom, a person must go the course where he can receive God's complete love directly. In order to receive God's complete love directly, one needs to have the qualification of God's son or daughter who does not need a savior. Moreover, when a couple who received God's complete love directly go to the spirit world will the ideal Kingdom of God in heaven can be realized. Such an ideal world was not established by Jesus' blood lineage. Therefore, the Messiah has to come and establish it. Otherwise, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Where is the condition made to open the door of the Kingdom of God? It is made on the earth. Therefore, Jesus left on earth the key to the Kingdom of God. So today, centering on the Unification Church and your families, the history of restoration is being developed on earth. Moreover, since Jesus and his 12 disciples did not form their families, in order to indemnify that, 70 tribes and 120 tribes have to be restored. If that is done, the door to the Kingdom of God will be opened. (160-89) 6,000 years ago, God was waiting to celebrate the wedding banquet of Adam and Eve after they became mature. But the ideal of the True Parents centering on Adam and Eve could not be realized because they became false parents. However, the ideal of the True Parents, could have been realized by the marriage of Jesus and his bride. Isn't that so? Then, are the sons and daughters of the True Parents true children or false children? [They are true children!] From them, the true family can emerge. The true children of the True Parents will multiply true families and expand to the true tribe, true people, true nation, and true world. That world will create the life of the Kingdom of God on the levels of the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, and world. Then this world can become the Kingdom of God. After living the life of the Kingdom of God on Earth, when you go to the spirit world, your life will be connected to the life of the Kingdom of God in Heaven. This is the general survey of God's providence. All people were born from Satan's blood lineage. They are different from God's blood lineage. Therefore, according to Romans, Chapter 8, they could call God "Father" in the position of an adopted son. They can call God "Father" through a bridge like Jesus. Otherwise, they cannot directly call God "Father" because the blood lineage is different. Only Jesus had the bond of the direct blood lineage of God. Thus he was called the only begotten son. None of you are the only begotten son. Then, who are you? You are the failed sons and failed daughters. You are sons and daughters who would have failed. (160-44) The Lord at the Second Advent will not establish the new ideal realm within the Kingdom of God, but at the bottom of hell. At the place connected to the bottom of hell, he will find Cain and Abel, and create the realm of God's new family. This will be expanded to the realms of a new tribe, new people, new country, and new world of God. Through the establishment of this ideal worldwide realm, all people of the world will be restored. That world will unify all people through restoration through indemnity centered on Cain and Abel. God's hope and Will can be realized by replacing the empty spirit world with the new organized world of unification on earth. Thus Jesus said that "Whatever you tie on earth, shall be tied in heaven, and whatever you solve on earth, shall be solved in heaven." Is it possible to establish the Kingdom of God in Heaven without establishing the Kingdom of God on Earth? [No!] The Kingdom of God in Heaven can never be realized without establishing the Kingdom of God on earth. (143-30) You should not think you are entitled to go to the Kingdom of God in heaven. Instead, you have to first establish the Kingdom of God on earth. But before that, you yourself must be a member of the Kingdom of God on earth. In order to become such a person, you have to make unity of heart to the degree that you can say confidently, "Father's mind is mine and my mind is Father's mind." Accordingly, you should be the person representing God's mind and True Father's mind as well as the mind of the great ancestors. If you are doing so, all historical problems can be solved on earth. (3-295)
