Claim. The first task of a tribal messiah is not external evangelism but to bless one’s own parents — raising fallen biological parents to the position of unfallen Adam and Eve.
Elaboration. SMM identifies the genealogical inversion as task one: “Since the mission of Jesus was not completed, I entrusted you to be tribal messiahs and to bless your own parents, who had married as they wished, just like fallen Adam. Owing to God’s grace – that is, the Blessing – your parents could be raised up to the position of parents untouched by the Fall. This is amazing! It’s like a dream!” (CSG 13.4 §2, 228-173, 1992.3.27). The same point is repeated as a numerical responsibility: “Why should you fulfill your portion of responsibility as tribal messiahs? The first reason is that you must save your parents. Your parents are in the first Adam’s position, and you are in the position of the second Adam. Therefore, you must fulfill Adam’s mission by restoring and re-creating your parents. The second reason is because you need your homeland” (CSG 13.4 §3, 217-125, 1991.5.12). The directionality reverses ordinary filiality — the child stands in the True Parents position and restores the parents to unfallen Adam-Eve standing through the Blessing.
