Section 2. The Pattern For Unification

2. Jesus Came As The Pattern Of Unification

There must be a unified individual before a unified family can exist, a unified family before a unified tribe can come into being, a unified tribe before a unified nation appears, and a unified nation before the unified world can come about. This is a problem.

The question is, from where must we begin to establish this unity? This world is the world of result. Therefore we have to find out the solution from the cause, namely the individual. (53-10)

The way of unification, the principle of unification, begins from the individual and proceeds to the family, then on to the tribe, the nation, and finally the world. (53-72)

This pattern begins with the coming of the Lord. Today, in order to establish one world, the ideal world, God needs to have His blueprint on the levels of individual, family, tribe, nation, and world.  (53-308)

It is the messianic thought that God promised to the chosen people of Israel to send His representative to accomplish complete unity on the individual level between mind and body, on the familial level, on the tribal level, on the national level ; and on the global level.

God's plan was to save the world through the expected unity between the Israelite people and the ideal patterns of the individual, the family, the tribe, the nation, and the world. (53-14)

Jesus, who accomplished perfect unity between his mind and body, achieving the model of man, could have established a unified family together with a woman who was likewise unified. if so, the unified nation and world could appear. (53-17)

Jesus came on earth as a unified individual. Then he was supposed to establish the pattern of a unified family, a unified tribe, a unified nation, and a unified world. However, he ascended to the spiritual world without realizing these.

The nation of Israel was like a vineyard of wild olive trees whose owner could do anything as he pleased. Jesus came to this vineyard of wild olive trees as a true olive tree in order to cut down the wild olive trees.

Then God intended to graft God's pattern on the individual, family, and nation according to His plan. If this had been accomplished, what do you think would have become of the Israelite nation and the Jews.

Would they have become true olive trees or wild olive trees? True olive trees. Then if they had started witnessing to the whole world centered upon their national authority and Judaism united, the whole history of Christianity would have been unnecessary.

God sent Jesus as the standard of unity to the human world of disunited mind and body. However he was nailed on the cross. The foundation established by God over several thousand years was returned to Satan's side. Therefore, mankind had to suffer for 2000 years.

Finally the nation of Israel achieved independence in 1948. From this we have to recognize that today is indeed the time of a new beginning on the worldwide level. So we must realize that the time of the Lord at the Second Advent is at hand.

If the Lord comes and establishes a family on this earth, he will establish the family that has no relation to the Fall. In other words, God will establish a model family that can bring about unity on the worldwide level. Only the Lord at the Second Coming can establish the foundation for unification of the entirety. Otherwise it is impossible. That is why the Messiah must return.

The Lord comes to establish the family that God desires. That is why the Lord will not come on the clouds. However, to establish only a family is not enough. A tribe is necessary to secure the family, and a people is necessary for the tribe to exist, and a nation is necessary for the people. Today, Christianity should realize that without making the pattern of centering on one nation, we cannot find the nation of the Third Israel.

The position of the Lord at the Second Coming is as parents to all humankind and as sovereign to the nation. He has to establish the nation of the type of the extended family. Then, in what direction is it supposed to go? It is supposed to head toward one world, the ideal world which God planned from the beginning.
