The 400 years after Martin
Luther posted his 95 Theses in 1517 or after the beginning
of Sultan Suleyman's glorious reign in 1520, marked the
beginning of the final period of preparation for the coming
of the True Parents. Dulring this time God worked intensely
to prepare the world environment to support the coming of
the True Parents and the establishment of the Kingdom of
Heaven on Earth. This preparation took place in three main
areas" religious or ideological, political and economical.
Christianity and the Wester Hemisphere were the focal point
of this development.
Since Prophet Mohammad,
God's restoration work has been developing through two main
religious movements, Islam and Christianity. Shortly after
their beginning both of these religions were invaded by
Satanic forces and thus blocked from establish a pure foundation
for God's Kingdom to be established. Because of this they
both have been undergoing a history of God's purification
work although the method of this work and consequent historic
development have been different. The reason for this comes
from the basic difference between Islam and Christianity.
In Islam through the Holy
Quran and Hadiths, God revealed precise instructive details
on how to live the ideal spiritual life in all aspects o
human individual and collective daily life, including religious,
political and economical. This means it was not necessary
for God to provide further instructions or additions to
the Quran and ...., but it was only necessary for God to
purify and deepen the thinking of the Moslem people. Because
of this the Moslems had to endure 400 years of suffering
by oppression.
Christianity however, did
not receive such details on how to setup and maintain the
ideal form of religious, political or economical instutions.
Because the Jewish people rejected Jesus and did not listen,
Jesus only had the opportunity to speak about the beauty
of the ideal world and the qualifications one must have
to live in such, but he did not have the chance to reveal
and establish the actual governing systems. Consequently,
it was necessary for God to prepare the Christian Culture
not only through God's purification methods, but also to
pregressively reveal and establish the ideal form of each
system that the True Parents would speak about and actually
establish. Through this preparation the Christians and Moslems
would both have the capacity to recognise and gollow the
2nd coming of Adam and Eve whose identity would become clear
as they spoke and actually established God ideal systems
of life across the world. Thus we find the development of
religion, politics and economics in the Christian world
has been towards that which is called for in the Islamic
Holy Books. Let us then begin this section by tracing from
the time of the Renaissance up to today God's preparation
of the Christian Culture to understand and accept a completely
God-centered form of Religious, Political and Economic Life
or Culture.
