What kind of world is the Kingdom of God? Because the Kingdom of God is the original world, the individual, family, and tribe cannot go there in the face of Satan's accusations. Therefore, members of the Unification Church have to unite their family, relatives, and tribe into one centering on God. In other words, three generations should become one. In Adam's family, Adam was the first generation, Cain and Abel were the second generation, and the children of Cain and Abel were the third generation. These three generations were supposed to unite. Centering on God, God was the first generation, Adam and Eve were the second generation, and Cain and Abel were the third generation. (21-54) Because the Kingdom of God is the world where people live for the sake of others, it will never perish as long as the principle of living unselfishly is maintained. In other words, if people only wished to be treated well, the Kingdom of God would perish. Don't you agree? The Kingdom of God is the world filled with true love. The essence of love is to live for the sake of others. Thus it is different from the love in the secular world. Therefore, religion teaches to live for the sake of others, that is, to be humble, to serve, and to sacrifice. The secular world has no such teachings. Yet, these elements are somehow practiced by groups such as beggars, who know nothing. That was God's secret strategy to have Satan's side receive good fortune, even though they were not aware of the higher purpose-heavenly law. How wonderful yet miserable God is to have developed such a strategy for thousands of years! (46-42)
