Women’s course Sarah to Bathsheba

Women’s course: Sarah1 (Adam) Sarah (wife) God Abraham Satan Pharoah (conditionally restored Eve) Satan Pharoah Sarah (sister) (Fallen Eve) Age of Symbolic Parallels This is the first of many examples of restoration of the position of Eve, Adam and Archangel. In this case symbolic. Wife of the archangel is restored, and Eve’s position established. The archangel fell by taking Adam’s spouse, Eve. Stealing her, he conquered by love. In order to indemnify this, these three relations must be reversed. Because of Abraham’s failure, this needs to be repeated later, to re-establish the condition. (Archangel)

Women’s course: Sarah2 Sarah (wife) Isaac God Abraham Satan Abimelech (before birth) Sarah (sister) Hated, wanted her sent away Age of Symbolic Parallels Abraham/Isaac/Jacob considered as one course, because of Abrahams Initial failure in offering Various aspects of providence build up in succeeding generations Sarah gave Hagar to Abram to have child, Ishmael Sarah mistreated Hagar, They didn’t get on. Hagar ran away at one point. Angel told her to go back. Repeat of Providence with Pharoah before first (failed) offering son Abraham/Sarah bro/sister, Abimelech sends Sarah back, gives wealth: Symbolic restoration of Eve as wife position, and Adam and A/A positions. Isaac born. Ishmael mocked Isaac. Sarah asked Abraham to send Hagar away, because of hate. Hagar (concubine) Ishmael

Women’s course: Rebekah at personal risk, against conventions Rebekah (wife) Jacob God Isaac Satan Abimelech (after birth) Rebekah (sister) Mother/Son - Helped restore birthright Age of Symbolic Parallels Some previous elements restored, then additional providence carried out: After Rebekah had twins Isaac/Rebekah bro/sister, Abimelech sends Rebekah back, gives wealth Rebakah deceived husband and elder son to help symbolically restore bithright. Esau

Women’s course: Rachel (concubine) God Jacob Joseph, Benjamin took wife’s position United later Satan Leah (concubine) Stayed, but couldn’t unite Age of Symbolic Parallels TF: “Jacob worked for seven years to get Rachel, who was Leah's younger sister. Then who should be his legal wife? It should be Rachel.   However, Leah became his legal wife. Fallen circumstances today are exactly the same as the situation in Jacob's family. How can God let Rachel be received? The relationship between the two mothers has to be reversed, and that requires the family foundation to be established.” [iii] Leah's mother and her mother-in-law (Rebekah) should have united with Jacob and helped him reverse the positions of Leah (the legal wife) and Rachel (the second wife, or concubine). Once Leah's position was corrected the 10 elder brothers and the youngest brother (Benjamin) had to follow Joseph, who was supposed to be Abel. If the 10 brothers were united with Leah they could be restored. Thus the order of love was to be established centered on Leah and then connected with Rachel as the centre. This was the responsibility of Jacob, Rebecca and Leah’s mother.[i] (ie rebekah should have pursuaded Leahs mother to convince leah to leave jacob and allow rachel to be his wife. Instead though, rachel has to be a concubine.) In the Last Days, children from second wives, or concubine lineage, will become leaders of the world. Originally, Rachel, the second wife, was supposed to produce the elder son of Jacob. However, because of the conflict between Leah and Rachel, she lost that right. (13/2/97) How difficult was it for the two women? Leah knew Jacob loved Rachel more - in fact he hadn’t wanted to marry her. Rachel knew too that Leah was able to get Jacob children. She herself didn’t have children until after Dinah was born, that is after Jacob already had 11 children. Genesis 30:1 “When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die!” Also Gen 30:15 For a while, Jacob doesn’t sleep with Leah, and she even does a deal with Rachel where she buys one night with Jacob. So there were a lot of difficulties between them. True Father said, “As you know, Leah and Rachel did not exchange providential positions; Rachel was deprived of the position of elder mother and Jacob's legal wife; Leah had the eldest sons. Therefore, God's providential history could not move into the original realm. Jacob had ten sons from Leah and the servants and two sons from Rachel. However, because Leah and Rachel did not unite with each other, Jacob's descendants were divided into the nations of Israel and Judah.”[ii] [i] 2nd January 1997 (TW May 97 p7) [ii] 2nd January 1997 [iii] 2nd January 1997(TW May 97 p6) Leah (wife) Levi, Judah + 4 Mothers should have helped unite the daughters

Women’s course: Tamar at risk of life, against conventions God Judah Perez (father-in-law) (daughter) Satan Blood lineage restored in womb Age of Symbolic Parallels She served her grandmother Rebecca with absolute obedience, and was influenced by Rebecca's tradition.[i]   Which was what? Deceiving her husband (who was the eldest son) at the risk of her life for God’s sake. “Because Eve deceived the elder son and the Father in Adam’s family, this had to be restored through providential history”[ii] Through God's providence, both her first and second husbands passed away. According to the tradition of Israel, the third son Shelagh ought to have been given to the daughter-in-law, but he was not given to her. Judah, his father, was afraid he would die too. The only way to preserve the blood lineage was through her father-in-law, but since that was not permitted, Tamar had to seduce him at the risk of her life. ... TF: “She had a relationship with her father-in-law in order to set the condition to go back to God. From this point of view, her father-in-law was actually her brother” [The Meaning and Value of the Blessing, from Blessing and Ideal Family p370] ie through risking her life to resore lineage, she became restored Eve posn., Judah was Adam position. True Father explained, ....In reality, this was when the people of Israel received the right to be chosen people. The blood lineage was restored in the mother's womb.[iii] [i] 2nd January 1997(TW May 97 p6) [ii] 2nd January 1997(TW May 97 p6) [iii] 2nd January 1997(TW May 97 p6) Zerah

Women’s course: Ruth Inherits position at risk of life, against conventions Mother /daughter cooperation Perez Boaz God Elimilech Naomi Ruth Obed (father-in-law) (mother) (daughter) (Grandfather of David) Through love, faith Satan Age of Image Parallels Same providence as Tamar, but in image form on national level. Ruth gains Eve position by heartistic unity with Naomi. Opts to stay with her, forgoing possible new husband. This is A/A – Eve – Adam relationship like Pharoah-Sarah-Abraham Here actually becomes “daughter” Naomi carries out Mother/daughter cooperation by suggesting to Ruth what to do Boaz actually represents Perez and Judah’s line Spiritually gains Adam position because treats Ruth as sister when she lies at his feet one night washed, dressed well and perfumed. Ruth “deceives” her husband (dead) who was eldest son, to carry on lineage for God Possible Husb. Ruth (Moabite)

Women’s course: Bathsheba (concubine) 1st dies 2nd son Solomon God David Bathsheba Satan Uriah Age of Image Parallels National level “Who was the mother of Solomon? His mother, Bathsheba, was the wife of Uriah. King David stole Uriah’s wife. Uriah’s wife became David’s second wife. By this, Kng david was in Adam’s position and Uriah was in the archangels position. If the wife of the archangel is not restored, Eve’s position cannot be established. The archangel fell by taking Adam’s spouse, Eve. Stealing her, he conquered by love. In order to indemnify this, these three relations must be reversed. The baby who is born after fulfilling these conditions according to Principle is the heavenly glorious baby. Solomon was the glorious baby.” [TF - The Meaning and Value of the Blessing, from Blessing and Ideal Family, p370] Note: Probably this course should have been carried out without Uriah’s death Note: Nathan rebukes David, who repents. God releases David from death penalty for adultery and murder( 2Samuel 12:13), but son from 1st relationship dies after 7 days. Note: Eldest son commits incest. He and all other sons killed by another son (Absalom) 2Samuel 13:23, who later rebels against David, has sex with David’s concubines publicly, and is killed 2Samuel 18.
