• The Cause of the Developmentand Progress of
  History
• Gods purpose for the Creation will absolutely be
  fulfilled
• It has not happened automatically, naturally or
  smoothly.

Accomplishment of the purpose of creation
Gods responsibility
Humankinds responsibility


10

• When a person fails his responsibility, God,
  after a period of time, restores the same
  foundation and conditions as before and chooses
  another person to carry out the same mission.
• Thus we see Gods purpose of creation being
  delayed,
• And history repeats itself, even after 2,000 or
  4,000 years.

11
The Principles of Restoration

• The dispensation for restoration and true parents
• Man must be separated from Satans influence
• From Satans false, self-centred love
• This requires Gods forgiveness of the sin which
  was committed when Mankind fell away from Him
• And reconnection to Gods true parental love
• Man needs true parents in place of false parents
• Creating a pure new lineage
• Transmitting true love and free from Satans
  dominion

12
The Principles of Restoration

• The dispensation for restoration and true parents
• Hence, the re-establishment of true parents is
  vital to Gods providence because these True
  Parents come with Gods true parental love.
• They need a prepared people who can be mature
  enough in heart to receive them
• To become like children to them
• Thus changing their lineage from Adam and Eves
  fallen line to the sinless line of the Messiah
  and his Bride, i.e of True Parents
• This is the meaning of Rebirth
• Purification of lineage and the engrafting
  process of Rebirth explained another time

14
The Principles of Restoration

• The way of restoration is the way of indemnity
• This is when humankind lays the foundation to
  receive true parents.
• Through laying indemnity conditions.
• i.e restoring what was lost at the Fall, through
  indemnity, back to its original state.

15
The Principles of Restoration

• Three types of indemnity condition
• Indemnity condition of an equal amount
• Each person is responsible for wrong he/she does
  to others
• Exodus 2123-25But if there is serious injury,
  you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth
  for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for
  burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
• Indemnity condition of a greater amount
• Restore the condition and the failure as well
• Numbers 1434For forty years one year for
  each of the forty days you explored the land
  you will suffer for your sins and know what it is
  like to have me against you.

16
The Principles of Restoration

• Three types of indemnity condition
• Indemnity condition of a lesser amount
• We can never pay back what was lost at the fall
• So make conditional offerings to demonstrate
  sincerity of our desire to return to god
• Paid by followers who benefit from the offerings
  of their central figures who represent god
• E.G. Followers of a prophet benefit from his
  foundation by demonstrating their faith in him
  and living according to his instructions

17
The Principles of Restoration

• Sin
• An act or thought which violates heavenly law,
  creating the condition through which one forms a
  reciprocal base with Satan and enters into a give
  and take relationship with him directly or
  indirectly

Personal sin (leaves)
Hereditary sin (branches)
Collective sin (trunk)
Sin due to the fall (roots)

• Multiplication of sin
• Getting others to join in

20
The Principles of Restoration

• Foundation of faith
• First step is to demonstrate faith in god
• Submission of our desires to the will of god
• Its a process
• First offering possessions (burnt offerings,
  crops)
• Leading finally to offering ourselves
• Adam and eves faith and obedience were to be
  upheld through their entire growth to maturity
  fulfilling the 3 blessings and establishing the 4
  position foundation

21
The Principles of Restoration

• Foundation of faith
• It is not enough therefore for us to briefly
  express attitude of faith and obedience
• Need to make the foundation of faith using
  certain periods, which appear in many sacred
  texts
• In bible and Koran the numbers 4,12, 21 and 40
  are common
• Noahs faith vindicated by 40 days rain
• Jacob 21 years in his uncle Labans house
• Moses built faith among the Israelites with 12
  tribal leaders
• Mohammed (PBUH) began his public mission at the
  age of 40
• Completed a victorious 21 year course before his
  death

22
The Principles of Restoration

• Foundation of substance
• Once F/F established, God can work with us by
  creating circumstances that lead us to purify
  ourselves
• Original nature must become subject over evil
  fallen nature.
• Thus the love of humankind is raised up.
• This restoration of our love can be seen in the
  standard of man-woman relationships
• Before the ten commandments, there was no
  standard.
• The ten commandments included a prohibition
  against adultery.
• Jesus, on a greater foundation than Moses, said
  that to lust itself was an act of adultery.
• Celibacy is a condition of purification for this
  purpose.
• The F/S provides a structure for us to overcome
  self-centredness, disobedience, resentment,
  arrogance and unrighteous lust for power.

23
The Principles of Restoration

• Foundation to receive the messiah
• The first man qualified to achieve the
  restoration of Adams position totally, would
  become a second, or true Adam, or messiah.
• Once a true Adam is restored, a second, or true,
  Eve can be restored.
• This restored Adam and Eve would be true parents
• And through them all people would be able to
  become true parents.

• God seeks to save all mankind
• John 316 that whoever believes in him shall
  not perish but have eternal life
• Works a model dispensation through one nation
• Central history
• Works his dispensation through other nations as
  peripheral histories, and grafts them to central
  history later.
