The mission of Japan as the Eve nation
The island nation of Japan completely inherited the culture of Great Britain. That is why, for example, they drive on the left, just as in England. The Chinese character “left” symbolizes the nation of Japan.
Western material civilization is inherited in the East. Where does it go to? In order to achieve restoration through indemnity based on the same standard as that of Britain, Japan is coming to the Korean Peninsula, which is similar to Italy. Korea is similar to a male sexual organ. It is a peninsula. The reason Italy has made a historic contribution to the creation of global culture is because it is a peninsula. A peninsula represents the male sexual organ. An island nation represents the woman’s sexual parts. (139-285, 1986.1.31)
Once Cain and Abel are restored, through whom do they continue on? They continue on through the mother. This mother country is Japan. In 1978, Japan began to emerge as a global economic power because it was chosen as the Eve nation.
In the Last Days, it must restore everything and return this to her husband, Adam. Why? Eve must indemnify everything given to Satan, who became her husband at the time of the Fall. Thus, Japan must restore all material things and offer them to Korea, the Adam nation and her original husband. (139-285, 1986.1.31)
Japan inherited everything from the western world; its political system from Britain, its legal system from Italy, and its military system from Germany. It imitated everything in the western world and built its foundation.
On Satan’s side stood Japan, Germany and Italy. On God’s side stood Britain and the son of Britain. Britain’s son is America, isn’t it? The son of Japan is Germany. Germany would say, “Wow, that little country of Japan is like that, so it will sweep over the western world in an instant.” That is why war ensued. England and her son, the United States, are in the same relationship as the Eve nation, Japan, and Germany. The archangel nation on God’s side, in a similar position to Italy, was France. France wavered back and forth; isn’t that so? (188-147, 1989.2.19)
If I had not chosen Japan as the Eve nation, it would have been a miserable nation. If the Christian foundation had accepted me, England would have been the Eve nation. The Adam nation is Korea. England the Eve nation, France the archangel nation, Germany the Adam nation on the Cain side, all should have automatically become one, but these countries all went against God’s will and opposed it. That is why the enemy took what he loved the most: the Eve nation, and Germany, the male nation. Don’t forget that the Adam, Eve and archangel nations centered on the Unification Church were raised within the framework of God’s will. Thus, I didn’t bless Japan for the sake of Japan itself. It was for the sake of the world, the Unification Church, and Korea. Japan will perish if it doesn’t use that blessing for the unification of Korea. (186-116, 1989.1.29)
In Asia, there is the Adam nation, Korea, the Eve nation, Japan, and next, the three archangel nations. Before Adam and Eve fell they were surrounded by God and the three archangels. From Adam’s point of view Eve and the three archangels were to have followed him. Eve and the three archangels, centering on Adam, were to unite with God and enter the Heavenly Kingdom. That was the ideal. Therefore as a representative of the position of Adam, I am now moving Japan, the Eve nation, America, China and the Soviet Union. Thus the situation has returned to a position where I can deal with the three archangels and the realm of Eve. (199-84, 1990.2.15)
The cultural sphere of Japan is the same as that of Britain. The entire civilization and system of Britain were brought to Japan. Japan, the nation that is like Britain in Asia, restored through indemnity the era when Britain dominated the world. Japan is the form reproducing that model. That is why even their vehicles run on the left hand side of the road and the steering wheels are on the right hand side in their cars. It is exactly the same as in Britain. Britain is an island nation and so Japan is the country in Asia that compares with it. (166-294, 1987.6.14)
Human civilization made a circle around the globe, and now, in the age of the Second Advent, is moving toward the region of Asia. But as it does so the unity will not be achieved in the history of the development of civilization unless, in accordance with the principle of restoration through indemnity, the conditional offering is made that brings everything in the satanic world into Heaven’s possession. This is now being done by the United States. America is the archangel nation, given birth by Britain. It is the same as the son standing in the archangel’s position. America is supposed to have the same form. Civilization comes seeking a nation within Asia that corresponds to Britain. As Japan is in the position to have inherited British culture, so civilization returns to Korea through Japan. Civilization has to move in a circle to reach Korea and unity must be achieved. However this unity cannot come automatically. Someone has to take the initiative in this unification. (166-294, 1987.6.14)
