Claim. The “homeland” of the providence is ultimately cosmic, not national — the planet Earth as God originally intended it, with humanity at its center as true parents of an interracial family.

Elaboration. SMM expands the homeland concept to cosmic scope: “The cosmos was created as an enormous house where human beings would live as its owners. Being at the center of the universe, they live within the spherical relationships of ‘above’ and ‘below’, ‘left’ and ‘right’, and ‘front’ and ‘rear’, namely the parent-child, husband-wife, and brother-sister relationships. God exists in the seventh position which is at the very center” (CSG 13.6 §2). The interracial form is part of the original hometown: “‘original hometown’ can refer to the planet Earth within the cosmos, and our homeland is wherever God dwells as its founding Father. Our hometown is the earth as God originally intended it to be – a place where parents, siblings, and children who have not fallen would live together. This was to be a place where black, yellow, and white people could live together in harmony” (ibid). The Unification Church’s international-Blessing strategy is therefore not contingent missionary tactics but constitutive of the homeland’s form: “the Unification Church has been working through large international weddings to create racial equality. In deference to the laws and principles of nature, we have inter-married all five colors of skin.” The four-position foundation is the cosmic geometry of this homeland — parent-child, husband-wife, brother-sister relationships around God’s central seventh position.
