Chapter 8 Supplement to the Fall
A. Internal Meaning of the Fall 1. Changing of the Blood Lineage to Satan’s Side The Fall means the change of blood lineage centering on Satan. AA Eve Adam spiritual Fall physical Fall Satan Satan’s wife Satan’s son
2. What Is Satan? The Archangel, Satan, became an adulterer and God’s enemy of love, stealing the most beloved wife of God. The reason God cannot annihilate Satan: 1) Both the Archangel and Adam were created as eternal beings. 2) Both the Archangel and Adam were created as objects of true love.
The only way left for God is to restore the enemy and his descendants to the original position and state. Satan says, “Hey, God, I became an evil being, but You know why I became like this: I wanted to receive Your love.” The way God restores the enemy and his descendants is none other than to love the enemy.
Satan says again, “Hey God, I became an evil being; but You are not allowed to become an evil being sunk in vice like me.” This means that Satan will absolutely never surrender naturally with joy without God’s loving Satan and his descendants with true love.
God has walked the way of suffering of Heart for tens of millions of years. At last He could begin the providence of restoration in a real sense at the time of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – 4,000 years ago.
3. Position of Fallen Adam The Archangel and Eve have no seed of physical life. Even though the Archangel made Eve fall, in that state Satan’s realm of dominion would come to an end in one generation of Eve. Therefore Satan made Adam – who has the seed of physical life – fall through Eve. Fallen Adam stood in the position of Satan who has a physical self.
Providentially, a man in the realm of Satan’s dominion is standing in the position of Archangel. Adam fell and became the substantiation of Satan, and Satan’s seeds were sown in the womb of Satan’s wife, Eve, and multiplied Satan’s children.

B. Consequences of the Fall When we see the consequences of the Fall from the viewpoint of “Loss of the Four Great Hearts,” human beings lost everything – the heart of children, heart of brother-sister, heart of husband and wife, and heart of parents in God’s family – due to the Fall.
1. Loss of the First Heart The loss of children’s love means the lack of communication with God in love. God parent children’s love Human being child
a. Loss of God e.g., Deism “Theology of the death of God” Atheism Materialistic communism
b. Loss of Oneself The purpose of human life and the value and dignity of human beings are determined in relationship to God. But human beings came to be ignorant about all of these, because they lost God. e.g., suicide, drugs, sexual promiscuity, etc.
2. Loss of the Second Heart Human beings came to be unable to feel others’ pain and sorrow as their own pain and sorrow. God person person person Loss of the brotherly-sisterly love
3. Loss of the Third Heart Unprincipled sexual love centered on Satan dominated the world. a. Illicit Love b. Prostitution c. Pornography d. Homosexuality e. Incest
4. Loss of the Fourth Heart Loss of the Fourth Heart, that is parental love, appears as the typical problem of child abuse. Parents themselves are immature, therefore they cannot love their children.
