3. Christianity situation in South Korea before and after the liberation of August 15

We must know that the history of the United Church began before the liberation of August 15. First, let's look at the situation of Korean Christianity at the end of the Japanese colonial period.  
 
Serious Christians who refused to visit shrines were imprisoned or martyred.

After August 15, 1945, he had even plotted to kill the leaders of various denominations nationwide.

In the midst of such misery, the divine Christian groups were scattered in mountains and fields to avoid the eyes of the Japanese colonial rule, praying, and secretly communicating like guerrillas along the mountain range.

They were under the revelation that liberation from Japanese oppression would soon begin. So Christians began to stand on the line between going the way of death and rejoicing in the body of freedom. 
 
Since he knew the principle that Christianity should be united, he has spread preparatory work to unite Korean Christianity and move forward to the world based on the divine group in such an environment. 
 
At that time, the divine group was busy preparing to welcome the coming Lord. For the Lord to descend to earth, he must return to debauchery all that had been lost in the Old Testament and the New Testament.

From this perspective, men, women, religious groups, men, women, and religious groups who had a mission to restore the Old Testament to debauchery, and men and women, and religious groups who had a mission to restore the New Testament appeared to play a part in Providence.  
 
They were amazed by the fact that after World War II, world history developed around Korea, and that the whole world was returned to God by Korea, which was chosen as a elected nation, and that the re-emergence was not a cloud, but a flesh and blood. 
 
Just as Jesus died on the cross and built a Christian version of the world that connected the nation and the world beyond darkness, Korea could be connected to the world on the basis of 40 years of hardship.

Therefore, before and after liberation can be seen as a period of simultaneity like when Jesus died on the cross two thousand years ago. 
 
Let's explain the situation at that time from a providential point of view.

The teachers who went to prison for the shrine worship movement are Abel-style, and the teachers who gave in to the suppression policy of Japanese imperialism and said, "Since shrine worship is not a religion but a patriotic national ritual, I will be loyal to you as a subject of the Empire." 
 
A group of Christian spirits hiding in the mountains and outside Japan's surveillance network is in the position of a returning angel chief. In the Garden of Eden, a spiritual angel corrupted God's son and daughter, and by the principle of debauchery he made them realize and prepare when, how, and where the second lord could come. 
 
Being within the Fallen Circle, this group of spirits can also be divided into the Cain and Abel sides. The group of men and women returning to the Old Testament era can be seen as the Cain type, and the group of men and women returning to the New Testament era can be seen as the Abel type. (1985,1.4)
