5) Sovereign and Omnipotent

God is sovereign over the universe. He rules over the affairs of men and women; He decides their destinies. At the same time, since human beings have freedom whether to submit to God’s sovereignty, the proper course is to recognize God’s authority over our lives and make Him our Lord.
This leads to the question of whether God’s sovereignty can be absolute. In this world, the claim that God invariably establishes justice by punishing evil and rewarding goodness is difficult to maintain. Nevertheless, God’s ultimate sovereignty is certain. Father Moon teaches in some depth about this matter. He asserts the principle that God can be sovereign only when people are in a state of perfection where they can freely submit to His dominion, yet due to the Human Fall this condition was not obtained. Instead, the Devil took possession of this world by usurping the human heart. Therefore, it is first necessary to expel the power of evil from the world and make it a domain over which God can reign without limitation. That day, Father Moon asserts, is now at hand.
