【The Way Of Unification】 - 30. Korea Must Live For The Sake Of The World

[대태양/김현수]

2. Korea Must Live For The Sake Of The World

From the viewpoint of God's will, Korea was chosen by God and Korea is the center of the providence. Korea must demonstrate a model of life for the sake of others.

Korea has the providential responsibility to sort out and cleanse the spiritual causes of providential history and the merits and demerits of history.

Although Korea has a good character and culture, it has walked a path of ordeals unparalleled in history. Korea must be understood from this viewpoint.

The trials of our race are providential and are not for Korea itself. God expects us to overcome these.

The meeting of east and west, south and north, and the confrontation of spirit and matter, of atheism and theism happen and are whirling around the Korean peninsula. It looks like the struggle of a mother who is giving birth to a child.

We cannot solve the difficulties of a nation and race by separating from God's providence. The problems may be solved in the relation to the world.

Now we must realize God's will, and follow the person God has sent to guide the world in matters of the realm of the spirit, and overcome human suffering.

The foundation for myself and the Unification Church has been made by thoroughly serving God's will. This foundation is the victory gained through overcoming the historical persecution of Judaism and Christianity, and the misunderstanding between the West and the Orient.

If Koreans live for the sake of others, then on the foundation of my victory for the world God will give us more blessing than America.

Korea will not only surmount its trials but also be the center of truth, love and peace. God's love for Korea is not only for Korea. As Korea serves the world, we can bear the fruits of blessing from God. (1985.12.11)

Where can we receive God's love? We receive love in the center of the world which is the foundation for the realm of the victory of Israel. So the Unification Church is waiting for the establishment of Israel. Because this establishment is not for Korea but for the world.

It is not "the world for Korea," but "Korea for the world." Do you understand me? You must stand in that position. If we are Korea for the world, we must give something first. We can make the foundation by receiving something after giving. This is the principle of give and take.

Likewise, what happens when we give out for the sake of the nation and the nation receives that? We can turn back. To where can we return? To God's nation. We go back to the position of Cain and Abel. So we must give the world something centering around Korea. (34-244) 

God wants that we Koreans establish the condition of indemnity for the individual, family, clan, race, nation, world and cosmos.

God has given our people the responsibility to bring salvation to the world.

We are given this responsibility by God and we have the ability to fulfill this. What can we do?

We must shed tears centering on God's heart. We must make a foundation of indemnity that can achieve a universal and historical turning point.

(13-37) 

If you are living for God, if you really know God and are certain of your relationship with Him, if you were born and live for His sake, you must not complain. Why? We must accomplish the restoration of the world.

So the problem is in the world. It is not important whether I die or some Unification Church members die. If God can bring salvation to the world through Korea perishing, God will rescue the world by the way of that sacrificial offering. The world comes first.

To do this, the Korean people should unite as quickly as possible, and North and South Korea must become one. Through this, therefore, Korea must be a sacrificial offering in front of God. If the world receives redemption and salvation through Korea, Korea will not perish.

Korea will prosper with the redeemed world's prosperity. If the people of the country which can receive redemption and those of the country that works hard for that purpose become one, the country that works hard can become the central nation. There will be no sorrow in that place.

(33-243) 

In the event that the Korean race chosen by God supports God's will, the Korean race will simply achieve the great work of world restoration. If the Korean people are united, world restoration will be achieved easily.

I have the mission to take that responsibility and to lead the Unification Church's development in accordance with this destiny. You should realize this and you must devote yourselves completely to keeping in step with this. (16-81)

Everyone! Our country, Korea, is a pioneer of a new era and a favorite of God. After a long struggle, the time has finally come for us to emerge as kings of a new era. At this time, we must realize. The reason why God called the Korean people is not to make the Korean people live a good life.for the salvation of the world.

We must realize that Korea is a country that has been called to the rescue history of the world. Since we are called by God, we must be kings of love who can sacrifice themselves first before anyone else for God's world-saving service. 

For us to die for God's sake is to live, and to suffer is to rise to the position of glory. This was exactly what Jesus meant by saying, "He who will die for me will live, and he who will live will die."

(100-254)

What is the one way to thrive? You should stand in the position to be united with God centering on the direction of God's providence. We must be the race that can get hurt in place of the world by bearing the world's every sorrow, and that can step forward, even entering the jaws of death, by taking responsibility for the sorrows of the world.

Thus, even though the race has no land on which to live, and will be scattered throughout the world, as long as the ideology left by this people remains in existence, through that thought heavenly fortune will move to solve world problems. Do you understand? [Yes].

Please don't be proud of our people's culture. Don't be proud of the authority of the world-level Christian nation at this time. If this race can't take responsibility for the world of sorrow coming soon, it will lose its sovereignty and hope.

But though the people are in a miserable position, unable to maintain their sovereignty, they will meet the realm of victory if they have the national character that can be boldly and powerfully responsible of the sorrow of the world.

individuals, families, tribes, races, nations and the world are waiting for such a world of victory. So don't be discouraged, and fight to the end.

Though being lonely priests or leading sad and sorrowful lives being chased as a wandering clan, this race should be responsible for the coming world of sorrow.

And then its people will be blessed forever by God. Eventually they will take dominion over the world. To be of this race, you must abandon racial culture and racial sovereignty.

It is good to lose these. To conquer the world, you must break off relations with something narrow. If a group has this point of view, that group will meet the determining time one day. (21-116) 

We should know what we are shouldering. What we are carrying must liberate race and Asia. It must liberate Korea and America in front of God's will. 

This is what we have to do. We may do the rest later. First of all, we must solve the extraordinary sorrow of God. (21-119)

A race should appear that will reverse all historical wrongs. We should make everything right. (16-246)
