Spirals in Human History: The Final Destination 101
for Jesus for thousands of years, he was still crucified due to the faithlessness of
the people. This should serve as a warning to Christians today: we must be
vigilant and prayerful so we may recognize and receive the Messiah when he
comes.
According to the Divine Principle, the ultimate purpose of God’s providence
of salvation is to establish a foundation to send the Messiah, who will then
establish His Kingdom on earth. This foundation is the spiritual preparedness
in God’s chosen people. In order to establish this, God chooses prophets and
central leaders at crucial moments in history who can facilitate a foundation of
faith in God’s people, so they may love and obey God, and a foundation of substance,
so they may live out this faith in their relationships with one another.
The foundation of faith is necessary to reverse the tragic sin of Adam and
Eve who lost faith by disobeying God’s commandment and acted selfishly,
bringing about the Fall. It is accomplished by a central person in the symbolic
position of Adam, who obeys God’s directions and commandments and
makes some kind of offering for a specific length of time decided by God.
Next, a foundation of substance is necessary to erase the fallen nature that has
been handed down from Adam and Eve. This is done when a central person
in God’s providence creates the condition to remove his or her fallen nature by
acting in a way that reverses the actions of the Fall. This is a long and difficult
process consisting of the following:
1. Humbling oneself to see others from God’s point of view
2. Resisting the urge to rule over others selfishly
3. Keeping one’s proper position and avoiding excessive ambition
4. Resisting the tendency to multiply evil thoughts and actions, allowing
goodness to multiply instead
God’s work of salvation and restoration is very precise. God requires specific
actions to be made over the course of specific time periods. Time is
related to numbers, and by accomplishing actions over specific time periods,
God’s people can in a sense restore spiritual values that are associated with
these numbers. For example, the ideal family, which should have been established
with Adam and Eve, can be described as a “foundation represented by the
number four.” This four-position base (shown on the next page) represents the
human family, which is the place where God’s love can be most fully
expressed.
