In the early thinking of linguistic philosophy, Benjamin gave birth to the core principle which guided his historical philosophy construction:'origin is the goal'. Using it as the center of the theoretical framework, Benjamin established his redemptive history philosophy in the broad and narrow sense. In the broad sense, Benjamin made the relation between sacred history and secular history, and divided the general history into three stages:Heaven era, Secular era and the Messiah era. Because humans had committed the origin sin, they were expelled from the Heaven era into the Secular era. Henceforth, the unified world was replaced by the broken word and humans were on the road of no-return. Finally, the Messiah arrived to save the fallen world and the language as such,'Origin'was resumed. As the goal of the Messiah era, the Heaven era was resumed too. In the narrow sense history, Benjamin made his unique concept'Classless society'as the'Origin'in the Secular history. The historical materialist was the Messiah in the secular history. The history materialism revolutionaries need to stop the endless disaster on the'now-time'. Through the historical revolution, they need to blast the correlative history out of the homogeneous history, thus they will resume the'Classless society', obtain human liberation, and completely save the Secular history.
