Pyeong Hwa Gyeong (132) Book 8. The Reunification of Korea and World Peace CHAPTER 1. Korea in the World
8. The Korean Peninsula is the region where human civilization is brought to fruition God loves Korea so much; He intends to establish a global civilization of unity starting in this country. According to God’s providence, human civilization has advanced around the world toward an ever-higher dimension, and now it is going to bear fruit in Korea. Ancient civilization began on a continent beside the Nile River; then it moved to the peninsulas of Greece and then Italy, where the Mediterranean civilization developed. The center of civilization then moved from those peninsulas to the island of Great Britain, and the Atlantic civilization flourished.
The island civilization of Great Britain crossed the Atlantic Ocean, landed on the American continent and crossed it to spawn the Pacific civilization, leading to the miracle of modern civilization. However, the flow of human history did not stop there.
Civilization crossed the Pacific Ocean and formed a new island civilization in Japan that, in its full bloom, corresponds to Great Britain. It will next move to the Korean Peninsula to form a united civilization corresponding to that of the Roman Empire. The Republic of Korea is God’s beloved land in the new era, and the Korean people are the ones He has chosen. Korea is the cradle of the new civilization that God desires. Therefore Korea is the country where God will bring His providential work to culmination in the unity of world civilization. This should be the pride of the Korean people, whom God loves.
