Pyeong Hwa Gyeong (132) Book 8. The Reunification of Korea and World Peace CHAPTER 1. Korea in the World
3. God’s fight to overthrow communism We can never defeat communism if we depend upon weapons. This is because no weapons, not even an atomic bomb, can destroy stubborn human belief. Rather, it is through faith and its teaching that we can defeat falsehood. The force that will win victory over communism, the false ideology, is a spiritual belief and its teachings of a higher dimension. Today we must increase our national power. We must equip our armed forces and fortify our lines of defense. However, what is more important is to be armed with truth. That is to say, we need to arm our spirits with faith and its teachings. We must arm our understanding with the truth that there is a God, and we must arm our spirits with faith and the resolution to fight at the cost of our lives to fulfill God’s Will. We can win victory over the communists’ false faith and ideology only through true faith and true teachings.
The completely false ideology will only fall before the true teaching, which clearly shows that God actually exists. When we bring the fight of truth to shine upon communism, its real identity will appear and its false foundation will shatter. This is the ultimate task for Unification Church members and all religious people. This is the way to win victory over communism and root it out completely.
Today two ideologies are facing each other. One claims there is a God, and the other claims there is no God. One world is centered on material, and the other world is centered on spirit. The world that believes there is a God is on God’s side, and the world that believes there is no God is on Satan’s side. When these two worlds clash, the outcome will prove the existence of God. Therefore the fight to defeat communism is the fight for God. Now these two world powers are opposing each other here in Korea. Korea is the final battlefield of these two opposing global ideologies. Protecting Korean freedom is not only for the sake of Korea; it is for the sake of the whole free world. It is for the defense of eternal freedom and for God’s final victory. This is the reason all freedom-loving people of the world need to rise up and defend Korean freedom. The people of the free world say the problem of Korean freedom is Korea’s affair. But Korea’s problem directly affects the free world’s existence. The free world’s security is a function of the security of God. Therefore, in the Korean War, God sent soldiers from sixteen countries who shed their precious blood to protect freedom in Korea. If North Korea invades the South again, passionate young people from sixty different countries will defend this country to the last, at the cost of their lives.
