[114] Words of Hak Ja Han Book 1 - Global Unity Through True Parents Part 4 : The Process of Realizing World Peace Chapter 1 : The End of the Cold War and World Peace
1. Ending the Cold War - 2
At that time, True Father left Korea and went to the United States. He said that he had come as a doctor because America was sick, and that he had come as a fireman because America was on fire. These words aroused the leading class of the United States.
They came to respect him. However, some politicians without a vision for the future placed obstacles on his path. He still forgave them and awakened the United States, and in the end, he contributed to the downfall of Communism.
Not only that, he also founded the Association for the Unity of Latin America (AULA) and helped to protect the nations of South America from the threat of communism.
In this way, a single individual accomplished things unknown to the rest of the world, which even nations with vast power and wealth could not achieve. (2015.08.30, CheongShim Peace World Center) This unfolded during the time when True Father was in Danbury prison in 1985. Father decided we should declare the end of communism at an upcoming PWPA conference.
Dr. Morton Kaplan was in charge of organizing the conference. He was a world renowned scholar with extensive knowledge in international politics. Father called Dr. Kaplan to Danbury prison and instructed him to declare at the conference that communism would collapse soon.
Considering his global reputation, Dr. Kaplan was in a position where he could not speak things that he was not sure about. So, for him, saying such a thing seemed a fearful task.
Three times he suggested to Father the idea of adding the word "maybe.” However, Father firmly told him to declare that communism would collapse. Do you know where this was declared? It was declared at the Intercontinental Hotel in Geneva, Switzerland, which was near the Soviet Embassy.
In 1985, communism was still very powerful. However, what happened to communism five years later? You need to know that True Parents were conducting such a providence, unknown to anyone. (2015.12.06, 2015, Cheon Jeong Gung) |
