Pyeong Hwa Gyeong (132) Book 8. The Reunification of Korea and World Peace CHAPTER 1. Korea in the World
2. Communism is the enemy of humanity but first and foremost it is the enemy of God Ladies and gentlemen, what is communism? We know very well that communist rule, which began with the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, has engulfed more than half the world in the last half century, and that it carries out ruthless and savage acts against humanity. Communism is a dreadful, satanic ideology that results in horribly criminal and destructive acts.
We Korean people, who have experienced the savage acts of communism, know the criminal behavior of the communists better than any other people in the world. We have suffered greatly because of communism. At this very moment in North Korea, our fourteen million brethren are still the victims of communism. However, the criminal acts of communism do not stop there. Today we know the reason we have to oppose communism and annihilate it from the face of the earth. Communism is not only the enemy of human beings; more significantly it is the enemy of God. More than an ideological system of politics and economics, it is a pseudo-religion based on atheism.
Communism completely controls the individual’s thinking, acting and way of life. This is an abuse of the unique power that only a religion can have. Communism is a false religion that insists there is no God.
Moreover, the ideology itself occupies the place of God in the person’s thinking, acting and way of life, turning human beings into slaves and machines. Because communism opposes God, there is no justifying it. It is a satanic religion that seeks to annihilate God from the face of the earth.
Were communism to win victory on the earth, it would be the complete defeat of God. Before it is the defeat of democracy and the free world, it is God’s defeat. Therefore communism is God’s enemy even before it is the enemy of humankind. However, the omniscient and omnipotent God cannot be defeated. God will not simply sit back and watch communism gain victory over the whole world.
Therefore, through today’s rally we realize that the Unification Church and other virtuous religions that teach faith in God will surely win victory over communism, the Satanic religion that denies God.
I sincerely declare that the Unification Church, which calls God our Father, joining with other people of faith and ethics, will defeat communism, God’s mortal enemy. Therefore we must realize that all religious people, especially Unification Church members, are God’s warriors, called to the frontline to win victory over communism. They are the vanguard and flag bearers in the battle between God and Satan.
