Pyeong Hwa Gyeong (132) Book 8. The Reunification of Korea and World Peace CHAPTER 1. Korea in the World
7. Korea is a nation God loves
Until the Eastern Sea runs dry, the white-topped mountain falls, God will guide and shield our country, for eternity.” Since our liberation from Japan, we have been singing this as our national anthem. We have learned that this national anthem is God’s revelation to the Korean people. God revealed that through His guidance and protection our country would stand for eternity. God truly loves the Republic of Korea.
Since our forefather Tangun founded the Korean nation, we went through many hard times due to our location between larger nations. Yet, we never invaded a foreign country. God helped us to steadfastly keep the traditions of our people. It was God who brought liberation to our country on August 15, 1945.
It was God who mobilized sixteen nations to protect this country during the Korean War; otherwise it would have fallen like South Vietnam. It was God who set up a powerful new leader, Korea’s current president, and a new order in our society in 1961, when this country was confused and facing a crisis brought on by communist infiltration from the North.
Now God is helping us gain victory on the final battlefield between God and Satan. Just as in the First and Second World Wars, it involves many nations: North Korea, the People’s Republic of China, the Soviet Union, the Republic of Korea, Japan and the United States. With this special favor and protection from God, let us be courageous and stand up without hesitation.
