Claim. Returning to one’s biological hometown and establishing the tradition there is the final step of the tribal messiah mission — without hometown restoration, neither homeland nor heavenly-kingdom citizenship can follow.
Elaboration. SMM links hometown directly to the heavenly-kingdom citizenship logic of chapter 1: “What is a tribal messiah? In short, it is a person who promotes father and mother to the seats of king and queen. Through tribal messiahship, you will be able to return to the homeland in the heavenly nation, which is the original homeland where you were born from your parents’ love. If you do not fulfill this, there will be no homeland. With no homeland, there cannot be parents” (CSG 13.4 §3, 194-121, 1989.10.17). The blessed-land typology of Israel is invoked: “This time you are in the same position as the Israelites who have gone into the blessed land of Canaan. When you return to your hometown, don’t be envious of those who are rich! … You must educate the people correctly … you should dampen that land with your blood and tears, along with the cries of your cells and bones. The land should receive the title of divine land, which has been dampened with God’s blood and tears. This is where the heavenly kingdom will unfold” (CSG 13.4 §4, 177-228, 1988.5.20). Hometown is therefore the eschatological terminus of the providence at the personal scale.
