[119] 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
3. The movement for the unification of North and South Korea - 2
Humankind has suffered through World War I and World War II and after World War II, there was endless conflict between democracy and communism. Since then, Korean regained independence from 40 years of Japanese occupation and suffered through the horrors of the Korean War, leaving Korea one of the last divided nations in the world today. The division of the Korean peninsula into north and south is the global fruit grown from the seeds of good or evil that were sown from Cain and Abel due to the Fall of the first ancestors.
In other words, the North's communism is the result of a Cain-type view of life and structure that appeared in history. It represents a world communist camp by denying religious values and establishing an atheist communist country. On the other hand, the South is the result of an Abel-type view of life and structure that appeared in history. It is a representative nation of the free world and is the country that has more religions than any other on earth.
Soon, the Koreas will represent the division between good and evil in the world, with South Korea representing good and North Korea representing evil.
The Korean peninsula will represent the whole world in the last battle between good and evil. Therefore, unification on the Korean peninsula is the key to world peace and unification. Thus, Korean reunification is not a simple political event or task. Unification is the providential historical gateway to realizing God's ultimate goal of the providential history of salvation, which is the restoration of heaven on earth, an ideal world of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally shared values.
It is a three-dimensional task that concerns countless people in this world. Thus, Korean reunification is not a problem that can be solved through politics alone. Reverend Sun Myung Moon clearly understands Heaven's Will in relation to the Korean peninsula.
Therefore, in early December 1991, for seven days, he visited North Korea and held a meeting with its leader of the time, President Kim II-sung, in order to inform him of Heaven's command and God's Will regarding the matter of unification. Father spoke clearly: "North Korea and South Korea cannot unify with Juche ideology. With Godism and Unification Thought, which is head-wing thought, North Korea and South Korea can achieve peaceful unification and become a unified Korea that can lead the whole world.”
He openly refuted the hackneyed story that the South had invaded the North on June 25 rather than the North invading the South. While touring the world with my husband, I have met many leaders in various countries. Yet, during my visit to Pyongyang, I needed particularly resolute and serious determination. The Bible records how Jacob's older brother, Esau, tried to kill him, but through severe trials and hardships, Jacob moved Esau's heart with wisdom and devotion and the two brothers were able to reconcile. Through similar efforts, my husband and I held successful negotiations with Kim II-sung of North Korea.
Korean reunification is not only the politicians' responsibility, but God can intercede. Even now, Reverend Moon is mobilizing a foundation across the globe to achieve Korean unification according to God's Will.
He is tackling it day and night to build an ideal world of peace without immorality and decadence. (1992.06.10, 1992, Little Angels Performing Arts Center, Seoul, Korea) |
