[658] Satan is the enemy of love

Satan is the enemy of love Who is the archangel? He is the adulterer who took away the wife of God. In other words, the subject of evil, Satan, is an adulterer who robbed God of His wife. He is an adulterer who has eaten up love. People have not understood that. (35-71, 1970.10.3) Originally human beings were supposed to become God’s princes and princesses, but they became the offspring of the servant and multiplied the servant’s children. You know who Satan is, right? He is an adulterer. What is an adulterer? He is a robber of love, someone who deviated from the proper way of love. That is why Satan is a thief of love. (135-283, 1985.12.15) Who is Satan? To God he is an adulterer. An adulterer! He killed our father, raped our mother and assumed the role of the master of our house. Humanity let this arch-enemy go and could not demand retribution. (153-270, 1964.3.26) Can you love an adulterer? That is God’s pain. How pitiable God is! What kind of an adulterer is this? He trampled upon three generations: grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, and even their children. What does that mean? Satan occupied the entire palace of the heavenly kingdom, raped and killed the grandmother, mother, and wife. Satan is that kind of enemy. (188-230, 1989.2.26) If the enemy of love, Satan, the devil, were forgiven, heaven and earth would have turned upside down. Therefore if we are to find the original love we cannot forgive him. We cannot find it without judging Satan. Thus, God sees relationships of adulterous love as the greatest enemy. God cannot settle down on earth due to the expansion of such love. (53-140, 1972.2.13) What is the knowledge of this human world needed for? What is power needed for and what is wealth needed for? Are things like humanistic love or humanistic family necessary? We must deny them. Fallen human beings are a tribe that has inherited the blood of Satan, the adulterer. We must reject all those things. (188-234, 1989.2.26) Everyone wants to become God’s son or daughter. This is the original principle of creation and we were supposed to become like that, but human beings who should have been born into such a lineage were dragged away by the enemy and inherited the blood of Satan, the enemy of God’s love. We should have been born with God’s blood running in our veins, but our present reality is unbearable. (191-244, 1989.6.25) What are Satan’s claims? He would tell God, “You are God, but I became the devil. I admit that. I am the devil. But then, if I look at Your principles, I want to ask You: when You created the archangel and Adam and Eve, did you create the archangel Lucifer based on the standard of eternal love or based on the standard of momentary, temporary love?” How should God respond to him? Would He say, “I created you based on the standard of temporary love”? No doubt, God would have to say, “I created you based on the eternal standard.” Then, if Satan asks, “Even though I have changed, isn’t it true that You cannot change?” God would respond, “That’s right.” Satan would say, “Although I changed and acted destructively, isn’t it true that You cannot do the same?” And God would answer him “That is true.” That is how it is. This is the one thing Satan is holding on to. (125-264, 1983.3.27) You cannot enter the heavenly kingdom without loving your enemy. I told you this, but when people in the spirit world look at you, they are so envious. Why do you have to love your enemy? It is because even though Adam and Eve fell, God’s principles and laws did not change. The principles and laws by which one enters the heavenly kingdom did not change before or after Adam’s Fall. Originally, if Adam had not fallen but had reached perfection, at the time of his perfection, God and Adam would have been one… The Principle provides that God and Adam in unity should have loved the archangel Lucifer and brought him to the heavenly kingdom together. This principle still holds true. So, Satan uses it when he makes his claims. (182-282, 1988.10.26) In this world, if no one knows about the reality of a person’s crime, the criminal can act boldly wherever he goes, as if he has done nothing wrong. However, if even a small boy points out that he has witnessed the crime, the criminal must submit to that. Thus, in order to make the devil Satan surrender, we should clarify his identity, expose the nature of his crime, and initiate a movement to expel him from heaven and earth. (53-194, 1972.2.21) God is the central figure of the eternal law, so we must drag Satan before God and accuse him. We must bring charges against him. After watching Satan justify himself, we must present the prosecutor’s final argument and bind him so tightly that he is unable to move. Then, not the fallen archangel, but the archangels who have not fallen must testify, “That is right! That is exactly what happened! That is correct!” (65-201, 1972.11.19)
