Sun Myung Moon

If you are to be victorious, you must go out into the world. You must go out and restore the rights of the firstborn son. The firstborn son must ultimately attend the second son, who is the younger brother, as though he were an older brother, and come to the point where he can say, "I will receive all the blessings through you." In this way, the firstborn son comes down to the position of the second son, and the second son must rise up to take the position of the firstborn son. So only after the first son says, "You go up, instead of me," and pushes the second son forward, does it becomes possible to move from the family level rights of the first son to the tribal level rights of the firstborn son, and so on. In this way, you can go up stage by stage. Only when the first son pushes you, can you go up. You cannot go up as you are. Because of this principle, you must fulfill the standard of restoring the rights of the firstborn son in this way. Without doing so, and this is the secret of history, the dispensation of God cannot be successful. That is why, in order to go the way of a true religion, you must leave your home. This is where the words, "You must leave your country and your home, renounce the world and become a monk," come from.

People have never understood why the history religion is one of tribulation and particularly why they developed when they were persecuted. In all of history, only Rev. Moon has been able to clearly expose the secrets entangled in the spirit world, the religious and mystical worlds that only Satan and God knew about. This is not empty theory. That is how things move. They move according to that principle. Just try to witness. When a person makes a determination to come to the Unification Church, Satan always tries to obstruct their path. Everything goes according to a certain formula.

Immediately after World War II, the world could have restored the birthright of right of the eldest son. If Christianity had united with the founder of the Unification Church, this past forty-year course would not have occurred. Communism would have already disappeared. If they had only listened to me, Korea would not have been divided. If the spiritual groups centered on Christianity had all listened to what I said….
However, all the groups which had been prepared to restore the Garden of Eden were led to a fate like that of John the Baptist, through their secular way of thinking. After the liberation of Korea the Unification Church faced opposition. To take charge of this situation, we have been restoring, through indemnity over a period of 40 years, the 2,000-year history of Christianity and the 4,000 years of history since Jacob that were repeated.
...
The age in which Jesus was not welcomed by the established Jewish faith must be restored through indemnity. Thus, there should be a phenomenon opposite to the time when Israel and Rome united against Jesus. The Korean government was united with America, and Christianity was opposing me persistently through these governments that were against me. I had to stand in such a position and restore this situation through indemnity. In my generation, I developed a national level foundation, and brought great victory. My strategy in America since 1974 was therefore to connect the foundation of this spiritual victory to the substantial world stage through the young generation of the world. Over a 3-year course, until my deadline of 1976, I waged a substantial war in earnest on the national level in America.

If the American citizens had helped, and had Nixon offered his support, the Unification Church would have instantly created a worldwide foundation at that time. As Nixon did not fulfill his responsibility, and was unable to stand firm, it took me whole twelve years and the four "eras" from Nixon to Ford, Carter and currently Reagan, to accomplish the restoration through indemnity. Our mission is to return the world to a position higher than the one the worldwide communist realm had forty years ago, centered upon the year 1988. Do you understand what I mean?
...
I am accomplishing restoration through indemnity by myself. The world is not aware of this. By this method, restoring the individual, restoring the family… I have been continuing. The satanic world bears fruit according to the seeds it has sown. If the Messiah does not come to this world to save it, there is no way to for it to be saved. Had only people become one with me right after the liberation of Korea, all Cains on the levels of the individual, family, tribe, ethnic people, nation and the world could have been restored through indemnity over a seven-year course. Because of their disbelief, however, this course was prolonged for forty years.
