1. Quotations from the Teachings of C.S.G., P.H.H.G., and D.P. 

I. Quotation from 천성경 (Cheon Seong Gyeong):

Heaven cannot be found in the physical world;

it does not exist in this world.

<천성경. P. 643. 좌. 상.12 초 ~ 상. 13 말.>

II. Quotation from 평화 훈경 (Pyeong Hwa Hun Gyeong):

Heaven must first be established on Earth.

<평화 훈경. P. 66. 상. 3 초 ~ 상. 3 말.>

III. Quotation from 원리 강론 (Exposition of the Divine Principle):

a.

Since God first created the outer physical body of humans and

then created the inner spiritual self (Genesis 2:7),

the providence of restoration also involves restoring from the external to the internal.

b.

Furthermore,

the reason God has first been restoring the external social environment through science

while establishing religion to restore the internal human spirit

lies here.

Even when looking at the order of creation,

the external archangel was created first, followed by the internal human being.

Therefore, in restoring the fallen archangel and humanity,

the providence proceeds in the order of first restoring the external angelic world to make it functional,

thereby restoring the external (physical) substantial world centered on the human body, and

then continuing to restore the internal invisible (spiritual substantial) world centered on the spiritual self.

<원리 강론. 2006. 42nd Edition. P.478. 하. 4 초 ~ P. 479. 상. 4 말.>

c.

The place where humans,

who have achieved their spiritual selves,

live after creating a heavenly kingdom on earth and

shedding their physical bodies is the heavenly kingdom in the spiritual world.

Therefore, the heavenly kingdom on earth must first be established

before the heavenly kingdom in the spiritual world can be realized.

<원리강론. 2006. 42nd Edition. P. 67. 하. 3 중 ~ P. 68. 상. 1 말.>

d.

Therefore,

we must live righteous lives on Earth,

as the primary purpose of the providence of salvation is

to be accomplished here.

For this reason,

Jesus gave the keys of the kingdom of heaven to Peter on Earth (Matthew 16:19) and

said that whatever is bound on Earth will be bound in heaven, and

whatever is loosed on Earth will be loosed in heaven (Matthew 18:18).

< 원리 강론. 2006. 42nd Edition.  P. 68. 상. 11 초 ~ 하. 11 말.   >

2. Understanding the Above Quotations from the Principle of Creation.

The summary of the above quotations is as follows:

I: Heaven does not exist on Earth (Cheon Seong Gyeong).

II~III: Heaven must first be established on Earth (Pyeong Hwa Hun Gyeong, Exposition of the Divine Principle).

The concept of heaven is that created humans, by completing the ideal of creation,

live under God's direct dominion, serving God as their Father.

Humans, regardless of the fall,

were designed to complete their life on earth,

achieving their spiritual selves,

living under God's direct dominion,

serving God as their Parent (completion of the spiritual self on earth: earthly kingdom), and

upon shedding their physical bodies and

entering the spiritual world, the heavenly kingdom is realized.

3. Conclusion.

The standard for the concept of "Heaven" is that

created humans complete God's ideal of creation and

live under God's direct dominion (both in the earthly and spiritual realms),

serving God as their Parent.

Therefore,

Heaven must first be established on Earth

according to the principle of creation.
