Claim. True Parents are the once-in-history climactic event that fulfills what Adam and Eve failed to achieve — the union of God’s vertical love with a perfected horizontal Adam and Eve — and they are therefore the absolute hope and bloodline of origin for fallen humankind.
Elaboration. SMM grounds the True-Parents identity in restored Edenic structure: “If Adam and Eve had not fallen, God would have become the vertical form of love, and Adam and Eve would have become God’s body… With the union of love between God and Adam and Eve, the True Parents – the perfected man and woman – can emerge” (2.1. True Parents are the hope of all humankind, 184-71, 1988.11.13). Their core mission is lineage rectification: “They must rectify the false lineage that forms the root of the satanic world, turn around life that has deviated from the ideal, and correctly reopen the path of love that has gone the wrong way” (ibid, 169-37, 1987.10.4). The eschatological framing is total — “They are the symbol of absolute hope for fallen humankind. They are the fruits of history, the center of the present era, and the center of the nations of this world” (ibid, 35-237, 1970.10.19), and the appearance “is a climactic event occurring only once in history; it never happened before and will never occur again” (ibid, 51-354, 1971.12.5). The implication: human history converges on this single point.
