MAY THE FATHERLAND SHINE FORTH

At the Monthly Breakfast Meeting ofThe Leaders of Every Field

for the Establishment of National Thought

October 19, 1978

Seoul, Korea

Respected leaders of every field of endeavor, I am sincerely

grateful for your invitation to this meaningful meeting and I am

very honored to address the leaders who are the backbone of the

development of our nation.

I have been overseas devoting myself to the proclamation of

the realization of God's kingdom, even though I encountered

many difficulties. Now at last, after two and half years, I could

finally walk again on the fatherland I have longed for, this

fatherland where I would have so often returned if these were

ordinary days! But because I wanted to reach a final conclusion in

the intense confrontation with the Fraser Committee, which sank

its teeth into our movement and refused to let go, my return to the

fatherland I have longed for was postponed two and a half years.

Last September 12, Congressman Fraser was defeated in the

primary election of his Democratic Party. If we look at him

through human eyes, he is truly an unfortunate person; therefore, I

said to our church members, "Let us pray for him because we

should love even ourfoes."

He was defeated in a battle which seemed impossible to lose.

What is the reason for this? He was defeated because he hadbeen

going against God's will. According to a holy man's words,

"People who are for heaven remain, and people who are against

heaven are

destroyed."

That is to say, Congressman Fraser received

God's judgment during that election.

Fraser's efforts to turn Korea into a second Vietnam were

exactly opposite to the will of God who had chosen Korea to

accomplish heaven's great providence. Once we know God's

providence we can understand that Korea is animportant nation.

Korea is a nation which can play a decisive role in stopping the

world takeover of communismin the future . God can never permit

world domination by communism. Thatwould mean the destruc

tion of God Himself.

In this last historical battlebetween the ideologies of theism

and atheism, Korea has beenchosen as God's champion.

Therefore Congressman Fraser's plot to destroy that same

Korea was an unforgivable effort before heaven I could clearly

foresee that God's judgment wouldcome upon Mr Fraser. Since

he stood in the position of a personagainst heaven I knew that no

matter how great his power was, in the end hewould be

miserable^No one who opposes the principles of heaven can survive and

remain. Therefore, we can only say that the defeat of Con

gressman Fraser was the judgment ofGod.

8On my return

to Korea this time I could feel to the marrow of

my bones that Godloves Korea very

much. This time as I looked

Twn on Kimpo airport, whichI have seen so many imes

it seemed to be welcomingme in a special way. The warm

welcome of my fellow countrymen has moved my spirit very

mUCAs soon as I returned I traveled the 6,000kilometers from the

northto he south. I wanted to see againour mountains and rivers

S are as beautiful as silkembroidered paintings. It is hard to

find the greens and blues of our mountains and rivers, and their

grace, anywhere else. In addition, the many aspects of our country

which are heading towards national development please me without

end.

Brothers ofmy homeland, you have truly done mightyworks.

As we catch up with the developed nations, we must not become

satisfied as they have. God is trying to accomplish a great task

through our fatherland, the Republic of Korea.

Two thousand years ago in the little village of Bethlehem of

Judea, which was known to no one, a great thought appeared. That

was the thought and teaching of Jesus. Centering on that thought

concerning the salvation of the world, God has carried out His

work for two thousand years.

Now once more history has changed. Today God is looking at

a small nation of the Orient, Korea, as the birthplace of a new

ideology for world salvation, an ideology which will establish the

Kingdom of Heaven on earth and deliver the world from commu

nism's evil hand. We must joyfully take on this task which God is

giving us. This is precisely the way to eternal prosperity for our

fatherland, the Republic ofKorea; it is the eternal and shining way.

Today I wish to share frankly this part of my faith with you.

God's Purpose of Creation

All religions of the world start by recognizing the ultimate

cause of the cosmos, or the first cause, as the Creator, God. IfGod

exists, then He should be good, and He is eternal, unchanging,

unique and absolute.

God's purpose of creation is joy. It was to experience joy thatGod created the world and mankind. In order to feel joy, however,

one must definitely have an object or a partner. When a subject and

object form a reciprocal relationship and have give and take

action, then they can finally feel joy. Furthermore, the greatest joycan be felt when love is being given and received. Therefore, Godcreated mankind as His object and through an infinite give and take

of love for eternity, God wanted to experience joy eternally with

man. This was God's purpose of creation.

In order to accomplish this purpose of creation, God created

one man and one woman as the first ancestors of mankind. In the

Bible they are called"Adam"

and"Eve."

If Adam and Eve had

become the complete objects ofGod's joy as they had give and

take of love and multiplied descendants of goodness, and as that

family multiplied into a society, the society developed into a

nation, the nation developed into a world, and the whole earth

became filled with one tribe of Adam then on this earth there

would have been a world of joy which accomplished God's

goodness and love. That world would have been called the

Kingdom of Heaven, and this Kingdom of Heaven would have

been established on the earth.

The Kingdom of Heaven on earth is one extended familycentering on God where all mankind are brothers and sisters.

There would be one culture and one tradition, and it would clearlybe a united world. There could be no racial problems; there would

be no differences of language, divisions among the nations, or

confrontations of ideologies, and there would be no killing and nowars.

The Fallen World

If we imagine this world of God's ideal and we look at the

world in which we are living today, we feel strongly that we are

living in a world exactly opposite to God's ideal.First of all, today we can see that even as individuals we are

divided between mind and body. Our world nowadays is a world of

division: division of nations; division of cultures and traditions;division of races; division of ideologies and division of love.

Because of divisions like these the history of mankind has been a

succession of wars, battles, and killing one another. No matter

how we look at it, we cannot call this the Kingdom of Heaven.

It is true that we live in hell on earth. This is the result which

came about because the first ancestors of mankind, Adam and

Eve, fell. To say they fell means that they disobeyed God and

separated from Him. Therefore, history began where God could

not dwell directly. The history of mankind has been a succession ofdisobedience to God, right up to the present.

God's Will is the Restoration of Heaven

I mentioned before that the will of God is eternal, unchanging, absolute and unique. Therefore, even though the fallen world

came about through the betrayal ofthe first ancestors ofmankind,

the original ideal and purpose ofGod have not changed. God is He

who will accomplish His original will.

God must finally accomplish His original ideal of creation.

Therefore, after the fall of man God could not just stand by. After

the fall of man, God's will became the history of salvation to savefallen mankind. What is salvation? Salvation is restoration of an ill

person back to his original state of health. Then in relation to our

fallen world, salvation is restoration of our world back to its

original state before the fall. That is to say God has worked to end

this fallen world and to restore the original ideal world He planned

before the fall.

The Messiah's Task is the Accomplishment of Restoration

Two thousand years ago God sent the savior Jesus Christ to

the world. The purpose of sending him was the salvation of a fallen

mankind, and salvation can be said to be restoration. To say the

Messiah saves the world means that he restores the Kingdom of

Heaven on earth.

Even though the Messiah definitely came to the earth two

thousand years ago, the Kingdom of Heaven has still not been

established. This is an important problem. Jesus proclaimed the

coming of theKingdom ofHeaven. "The Kingdom ofHeaven is at

hand."

But there was no sign that the Kingdom of Heaven was at

hand. Rather, Jesus was judged as a criminal and nailed to the

cross in a miserable destiny. This is a testimony to the fact that

God's will in sending theMessiah was not completely realized two

thousand years ago. What could be the reason for this?

The Ignorance and Disbelief of the Chosen People of Israel

The reason lay in the ignorance and disbelief of the chosen

people of Israel God nurtured and led the chosen people, the

Israelites for 4,000 years before he sent the Messiah because He

intended for those people to accomplishHis will by receiving the

Messiah when he came. But when theMessiah came in reality, the

chosen people of Israel did not knowGod's will exactly

They dreamed that whenthe Messiah came, they, who were

suffering under their Roman conquerors, wouldrevenge them

selves and conquer Rome by power in one mighty leap. They

thought that the chosen people of Israel would reign over the

whole world with the power of emperors. The Messiah they

wanted was a Messiah of power who used theforce of arms. But

the Messiah's ideal of the Kingdomof Heaven cannot be realized

by force of arms. God's ideal ofthe Kingdom of Heaven can be

realized only by truth and love.

The chosen people of Israel rejected the Messiah whom theyshould have served. Moreover, they did not realize that the

Messiah came to save the whole world even at the expense of

sacrificing the chosen people of Israel. Rather they believed that

he would give freedom to their nation alone and would give them

royal authority.Jesus'

barefoot, shabby and powerless appearance

was a failure in the eyes of these people who dreamed of attainingself-centered power and political victory through fighting.

It can be said that there could be no greater tragedy than this

and there could be no greater misfortune for mankind. The sad

outcome was that God's Kingdom could not be realized at that

time and it became necessary for God to send the Messiah again in

the future.

We call the days in which God will again send the Messiah as

savior, the days ofthe Second Advent. God's will, which was not

fully accomplished in the days of Jesus, has been extended to the

Second Advent. From the very day Jesus was nailed to the cross,

God has devoted Himself to preparation for the day of the SecondAdvent. Two thousands years of history have passed since that

time. Nowadays, the voices which proclaim the coming ofthe last

days are growing louder and louder. We can understand that people

all over the world are waiting for the Messiah. Then what kind of

history has God been accomplishing for the last two thousand

years, and what is the key for beginning the new history?

The Second Israel for the Second Advent of the Messiah

Before sending the second Messiah, God will prepare another

chosen people. Just as one cannot build a house without a

foundation, God cannot send the Messiah without the foundation

of a chosen people. Before sending Jesus Christ God prepared the

chosen people of Israel, and accordingly, one can conclude that

God has laid a foundation of a worldwide chosen people to receive

the coming new Messiah. This is Christianity, which has reachedall over the world.

The teachings of Jesus, who was born in a manger in

Bethlehem, have become the foundation of a worldwide religion

throughout the last two thousand years. This is the result ofGod's

providence to form a worldwide chosen people in expectation of

the day ofthe Second Advent. The task ofChristianity nowadays isto welcome and serve the Messiah when God sends him again.

Christians absolutely must not nail him to the cross again as the

chosen people of Israel did two thousand years ago. Christianitytoday stands in the position of the second Israel in both name and

reality.

Moreover, God has two important tasks which He needs to

have accomplished before sending the Messiah again. One of

them is the creation of a highly developed material civilization. Tosay that God's will is accomplished is to say that God's Kingdomof Heaven on earth is realized. This doesn't mean only spiritual

Kingdom of Heaven, or paradise in the material sense. It is

necessary for God to prepare a vessel to contain the highlydeveloped spiritual culture which will come into being with theSecond Advent oftheMessiah. This vessel is the highly developedmaterial civilization. Moreover, since in God's ideal the world isone nation, in that world all mankind will live in close contact withone another through the modern means of transportation and

communication made possible by the development of scienceThis development is a very important element for the constructionof the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and is a necessary and

indispensable condition for the creation of the culture of a unitedworld.

The realization ofthe highly developed material civilization,which started from the Industrial Revolution in England and hascontinued through the last few centuries, is all part ofGod's masterplan. The very fact that men all over the earth could simultaneouslywatch the landing of Apollo 1 1 on the moon shows that today we

are all living within a common boundary, and this means that the

day of God is at hand.

God must also form the circumstances in which the Messiah

can come. What does this mean? It means the creation of a system

of law such that people cannot kill others at will. If we look at the

time of Jesus, people's lives were as insignificant as flies to the

persons in power. The system of laws into which Jesus was born

was just like a world without laws. If the administrators or persons

of power wanted to have him killed, it could be done as easily as

killing a fly.Jesus'

proclamation of a fundamental human revolu

tion could not be permitted or accepted under the system of that

society. We can say that the fact that Jesus was nailed to the cross

was an almost unavoidable occurrence under the system of those

days. God, who knows this so well, knows that one of the most

necessary things for the days ofthe second advent ofthe Messiah is

a system of laws in which a person cannot be killed just because it

is someone else's will . The system which God prepared for the last

two thousand years is democracy. Democracy is the system which

respects human rights. Democracy is the system in which a

minority group can survive in the midst of a majority group.

Democracy is the system which guarantees freedom of speech,

freedom of association, freedom of press, and freedom of assem

bly. If we consider the Constitution of America, which can be

regarded as the representative nation of democracy, the most

absolute freedom among all freedoms is the freedom of religion. It

is stated in the Constitution that the American Congress and

Government shall not make any laws which can restrict religions.

This is the system in which God's son can come and even

preach a revolutionary message without being nailed to the cross

again. To take a familiar example in this light, the Unification

Church has preached a revolutionary message in America and has

incurred the displeasure of some Americans, but they could not

nail our church to the cross.

When the days of the Second Advent come, God will need to

choose one central nation from among the worldwide second

Israel of Christianity. What does this mean? Since the ultimate

ideal of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth which God is trying to

accomplish is an ideal which is realized on earth in reality, it

should spread step by step to the world after starting at a certain

central point. That is to say, there should be a nation which is

adequate to be a model. The nation which is capable of carrying

out God's central providence in the last days, the nationwhich was

predestined long ago and chosen accordingto that predestination,

is America.

America is the Chosen Nation andthe Central Nation ofGod's

Providence

Now for a short time I would like to look back on the

formation of America. In spite of its being such a mighty conti

nent America went unnoticeduntil the 1500s. We can explain this

by thinking that Godplanned to use it in a special way during the

last days and therefore hid it awaysecretly.

America is a nation which beganthrough immigration That

is to say, America had no owners. The original inhabitants he

Indians lived there but did not fulfillthe role of the owner of the

nation. In the end, because there was no owner we can say that

God was the owner. Therefore, America was a nation to which

only the special people whom God had chosen could go. On the

European continent people called America the "NewWorld."

The

first people who immigrated there were those who came with hope

to serve God and who were seeking freedom of religion.

They had lost hope so completely under the ancient tyrannies

that they left their homelands even though they knew they might

lose their lives while crossing the Atlantic Ocean. They had an

heroic determination and sailed for 57 days on the tiny ship

Mayflower with their lives constantly in peril on the rough seas.

After the difficult voyage, they finally landed in the New England

area of America. These people were the "PilgrimFathers"

the

ancestors of America.

During the voyage many of them died, and another half of

them died during the first winter after they landed. They were

people who thought God and faith were more important than their

lives. It cannot be called accidental that they became the ancestors

ofAmerica and their spirit became the founding spirit ofAmerica.The fact that the motto, "One Nation Under

God,"

became

the founding spirit of America gives clear proof of God's will to

establish this nation and make it a central Christian nation which

could receive the Messiah again. Therefore, all men who believed

in God gathered together in this fertile land which God had hidden

away and made a Christian nation of all races. This is the model of

the future Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

Now, centering on God's will, America has become the flagbearer to save the world. By religion and the nation uniting

together, it is accomplishing God's historical wish for the salvation

ofthe world, a one world family and a united culture. America hastaken on the burden of this important task to accomplish God's

historical wish of world salvation.

Out of virgin land God made this newborn America the most

powerful nation in the world in just two hundred years, in order to

prepare for the struggle against communism, the final evil power

which would appear in the last days. Now the American people

should realize thatGod's blessing which they are enjoying today isnot a blessing only for America. They should realize clearly that

this blessing is for the world and brings with it the responsibility of

fulfilling God's will.The American people should be burning with determination

to save the people of the world, even if they would have to suffer

martyrdom. Armed with the spirit of Christianity they should be

willing to go the way of the cross. From God's point of view the

most important new task for America is to protect the free worldfrom communism and to become the driving force which can

eventually liberate even the communists.

Ominous Signs Appearing in the Chosen Land of AmericaSince 1945, after the victory of the Second World War,

America has been showing ominous signs that it is falling awayfrom God's will. This is a fearful thing. I say this because I loveAmerica. I said the following words at a meeting with Americancongressmen because someone has to awaken America.

First, it was God Who, through America, brought about thevictories of the first two World Wars and Who brought about theUnited Nations, which is like a global nation. From the viewpointofGod's will, originally the United Nations should have been theheadquarters for all the countries ofthe world which were centeredon the spirit of Christianity. A United Nations which included

communist nations was not God's will.

After the victory of the Second World War, America did not

play its role properly. America had the responsibility to guide in a

proper way the victorious Allied nations and the defeated Axis

nations which they governed. America had the responsibility to

manage them as God's nations. If America had understood God's

will clearly, it would have realized that a very good opportunitywas at hand to overtake the Soviet Union, which is a nation of

Satan's side, and to restore all the world to God's will. Instead, at

that time America allowed many nations in Asia and Eastern

Europe to be taken over as satellite countries by the communists.The tragic division of Korea and Germany at that time has

caused much misery. The victory of the Second World War was

God's blessing through which He intended to widen the free world

and to overtake communism. But if we look at the final results, it

seems America let the blood of its young men be spilled in vain

and instead gave benefit to the communists, even though they are

proven adversaries who deny God. Americans should know that

the blood of those young men cries out even today.

Moreover, by retreating from her holy position to protect the

free world, America has given away even more offerings to the

communists, nations such as Vietnam which were under its

protection. Because of this, the international stature of America

has fallen, and the voice of resentment against it is growing louder

and louder every day. These days the UnitedNations has become a

forum for the propaganda of the communist countries, thereby

losing its original function.

This is not all. Day by day in America more serious things are

happening. The racial problem between whites and blacks and the

drug problem which is destroying American youth are some of its

worsening problems.The immorality of youth, the breakdown of

the family, and violent crime continue to increase. There are many

other serious problems as well, but among them, the infiltration of

communism is the most deadly attack.

The present viewpoint of life in American society centers on

a search for physical pleasure with a standard of value of extreme

individualism. If it continues like this, God will surely leave

America and America will cause God's plan to fail. This is very

clear and apparent. What shall God do at this point?

Light from the East

God sees the situation in America in all its stark reality. It

would not be exaggerating to say thatGod foresaw the possibility

that America would become like this. It can also be said that

Western civilization, which centers on material values, would

inevitably bring about conditions like these in America.

From myviewpoint it is clear that material civilization is like

the body not the spirit. If America today is a body which God

made then God surely plannedto make a spirit to fill this body, and

He intended to raise it up first inthe Orient. If the spirit ofthe East

and the body oftheWest become one, then at last ourworld would

function as the complete being that God designed it to be. Today

Western culture is waiting for anintellectual or a spintua revo

u-

tion But the situation nowadays is such that this spiritual revolu

tion cannot be expected to come fromWestern society. It should be

raised up in the Orient.

Here for a moment I would like tolook at the prophecy ofthe

outstandingEnglish scholar, Arnold

Toynbee. He was a famous

historian and philosopher. Hisbrilliant viewpoint of history antic

ipates the future verykeenly. Because of that, he is

respected as a

prophet even beyond his field of history.

He prophesied the collapse of Western civilization, saying,

"Western civilization centering on Christianity has reached the

verge ofdestruction."

He also said the following: "The purpose of

history doesn't dwell in the development of civilization. The

progress and decline of civilizations was in reality amethod for the

realization of higherreligions."

Ifwe express it another way, Dr. Toynbee says that the goal of

the stream ofhistory doesn't lie in the development of civilization,but rather that civilization is at best only a means for the advance

ment and development of religion, which is the true purpose of

history.

Furthermore, he said that it can be expected that a higher

religion will appear in the Orient, a religion that can save col

lapsing Western civilization. "Light from theEast"

is the famous

prophecy of Arnold Toynbee.

This morning, even though it may seem revolutionary, I

proclaim without hesitation that the light which Toynbee spoke

about, the new religious ideology which can save the world, will

appear in Korea. Yes, I should say the beacon fire of that spiritual

revolution has already been raised up in Korea. It is already

burning brightly for the world.

Even now Western civilization is bursting into flame! On a

supra-national level and a supra-racial level, hundreds of thousands of young people have a flame in their hearts already. In them

a new standard of value and a new viewpoint of life have alreadybeen fixed. A complete moral revolution is arising. Sacrificial

service for the sake of mankind all over the world is beingpracticed.

The beacon fire of that spiritual revolution is the movement of

the Unification Church. If this spiritual revolution is properlygrafted to the material civilization ofAmerica, then that will be themoment when the spirit and body meet.

At that moment America will have hope because it will meet

with spirit, and Korea will also have hope because it will meet with

the body. Therefore, if America and Korea become one, when theygo forward to begin the movement for the restoration of the world

there will be hope in the world. This power of spiritual revolution

is the power which can defeat world communism. I'll explain how

big the shock of this spiritual revolution is by mentioning the

following example.In America the main accusation against me, as a person who

created so many controversies and problems, is that I brainwashthe youth. The shock of this spiritual movement is so large thatintelligent American people said I brainwashed their children.

On December 12, 1975 when I spoke at the House of

Representatives ofthe U.S. Congress, I said this: "Let me ask youdistinguished congressmen a question. Are you dumb enough to

be brainwashed by me, this man who came from Korea and alwayshas to speak through an

interpreter?"

In response to my words, the congressmen said they hadheard a wise answer.

It is said that one reporter sneaked into the UnificationChurch in America and made a desperate attempt to find bottles

containing the drugs which Reverend Moon used for brainwashing. It seems that he thought we brainwashed by using some kindof drug. At last he found a bottle of our II Hwa ginseng tea. "Ah ha'That is

it!"

he exclaimed and ran off to try it. However, he couldnot experience any mental disorientation, only a feeling of well-being.

I have not brainwashed the American youth by any drugs.

Rather, by hearing the words which God gaveme they go through a

revolution of character. Yes, that is true. If one hears even only one

time the words which God has given through the land of Korea, a

revolution of character takes place. Even the extremelyindividual

istic American people step forth to sacrifice themselves for the

world. Many become free from slavery to drugs and they become

free from past sexual immorality. They become dutiful children

and loyal patriots to their nation and by giving their lives to serve

God they are becoming holy men and women of character.

Moreover, they recognizecommunism as the foe ofGod, and

their desire to liberate mankind fromcommunism burns brightest

in the world.

How is it that Korea was Chosen/

How is it that God revealed the final ideology to restore the

world through our fatherland Korea? What qualifications does

Korea have in the last days to become thechosen nation?

To put it briefly, it is because theKorean people are 'a people

who can understand the circumstances of

God."

Throughout

history no one knew that God was not a God of joybut rather the

King ofKings of sorrow.God was the Parent who lost His

children

from the very day of creation . A parent who has lost his children is

miserable and to be pitied even if He is-the King Kmgs^The God of history was a Father

to be pitied. The: most dutiful

son to this pitiable Father is theone who takes on the

burden ofhis

Father's sorrows. The Koreanpeople were chosen for this position

The five thousand year history ofKorea was one of troubles

and trials. Korea was poor for a long time, and due to the bitter

harassment of foreign powers the Korean people knew the taste of

tears and the taste of sorrow. The circumstances of the Korean

people who have gone through so many trials during their difficult

history were similar toGod's circumstances as Helamented seeing

fallen mankind, His dead children.

The Korean people know the taste of tears. Therefore, they

can understand the God of tears. It is not by accident that from

ancient times the Korean people preferred tragic plays. The

familiarity with tragedy is the qualification which allowed the

Korean people to sympathize with God who tasted tragedy through

the fall.

There is a proverb: "A widow knows another widow's situation."

We have thought that God enjoyed power in joy and glory,

but when we come to know God, we see that He is a pathetic,

lonely Father who lost His children and is weeping. God is seeking

with faith for us to become His dutiful children who will console

His heart.

From ancient times the Korean people were recognized as

having a high standard of loyalty and filial piety. When I was

invited to the May 16 Plaza for our National Military Day this year

and saw the majestic presentation of our arms my heart was filled

with pride. And as the soldiers marched past the reviewing stand

and shouted the slogan "Loyalty, FilialPiety"

I was deeply moved.

If we understand these words as the slogan shouted by the

chosen people ofGod, they are very revelational. I doubt there are

any other soldiers in the world with a slogan like this. Koreans are

the ultimate people who should give loyalty and filial piety to God.

This is why the spirit of loyalty and filial piety has become the

central thought of the nation todayThe famous filial love of the young girl, Shim Chung; the

famous fidelity of the love of Choong Hyang for her husband; the

loyalty of Chung Mong Ju to his king; and the spirit of patriotic

martyrdom of the young Yoo Kwan Soon, all these are examples

of types of filial piety, fidelity, and loyalty which are difficult to

find in the East or the West, in the past or the present. Yet these

stories reflect the spirit of the Korean people.

This spirit of loyalty and filial piety, together with integritywhich is as steady as the evergreen and straight as bamboo, will

become the backbone ofthe spirit and thought ofthe Kingdom of

Heaven on earth to be established in the future. Since the Kingdom

of Heaven is God's nation, one has to give loyalty to it eternally,

and since God is mankind's Father we have to give eternal filial

piety to Him. As much as God would test all the peoples of the

earth, He could not find any nation with the integrity and a spirit of

loyalty and filial piety higher than Korea. Therefore, He chose

Korea and came here.

Moreover, the Korean people like to wear white clothes, love

and keep peace. We are a nation which has never invaded another

nation even once. It is like a miracle that a tribe like this which

loves and keeps peace could have kept a pure history. This could be

possible only through the protection of God. If we express it in

slang, we could say, "God is backing ourThroughout our five thousand year history, foreign nations

have swallowed up our nation many times, but each time they havesuffered from indigestion. Each time they devoured us they had tospit us out again. By whose strength did this happen? It was God'sstrength. Who gave us the independence of August 15? It was

God's strength. Who stopped the North Korean invasion duringthe Korean War? It was God's strength.

During the Korean War, if U.S. President Truman's decisionhad been made even three days later we would have been pushedinto the sea at Pusan. Furthermore, as long as the Soviet Unionheld its veto power in the Security Council ofthe United Nations,it was impossible to send U.N. troops during the Korean War. Butwhen the problem of sending troops to Korea was discussed, theSoviet representative was not present. At that moment, the plan tosend in troops was determined with high spirits and at top speed.In the diplomatic history of the United Nations, no one hasunderstood why the Soviet representative did not participate at that

very time. Who made it so? It was God.

No one can touch Korea as long as God's special protection ishere. The powers which would like to harm Korea are beingbroken one by one through God's strength. The recent defeat of

Congressman Fraser, who sought to destroy Korea through the

U.S. Congress, is a good example of this.

Ladies and gentlemen! Our fatherland Korea is the fore

runner of a new era and a favored child ofGod. Our long-endured

difficulties have passed and at last the day has come that we should

step forward as the kings of a new era. But the reason God called

Korea is not to give life only to Korea: it is to save the whole world.

Korea should realize that it has been called to the task of

saving the world. Since we have been called by God, we should bekings of love who can sacrifice ourselves before anyone else for the

task of God's salvation of the world.

To die for this task of God is to live, and to suffer for it is the

way to glory. This is the meaning ofJesus'

words, "He who seeks

to save his life will lose it, and he who loses his life formy sake will

findit."

The "New VillageMovement"

of Korea is a brilliant, monu

mental demonstration of self-reliance and revival. Such an achieve

ment cannot be found in our history since the time ofTan Geun, the

founder of Korea, and there is no record showing that it has an

equal in the history of any other nation.

The present industrial development of Korea surpasses even

the reconstruction of Japan and Germany after the war. The fact

that this rapid growth took place in the circumstance of facing Kim

II Sung, who is searching out every chance to attack the South, has

great meaning.

The American people have tried to accuse me by saying that I

have a close relationship with President Park Chung Hee, but this

is a laughable matter. I have never met President Park even once.

It Ts not the way of a righteous person to refuse to recognize

good acts as goodness. I firmly believe that President Park is a

leader chosen by heaven for this important era. I think that if it

were not for him it would be very difficult to endure theconstant

threat from Kim II Sung, and the reconstruction of our fatherland

would not be possible.

There is a reason why heaven has helped our fatherland

develop very rapidly through choosing such a leader at this

historical time. It is because the time has come for Korea to guide

the world and to take a great leap into the world as the creator of a

new spiritual culture. To do so Korea must shed its poor and

humble image of the past.

To say it in another way, God wants to send Korea as an

ambassador to the world. But He cannot send an ambassador in

dirty, ragged clothes. Instead Godwants to send him forth in full

ceremonial dress.

Korea should acquire the image of aleader of the world both

in name and in reality. Korea should becomea model for the whole

world an object of admirationwhich can be respected by others in

every aspect.President Park is a person whom God has chosen in

order to accomplish this task.

However Korea's "New Village Movement should not stop

with the motto of "Let's live The Korean "New Village

Movement"

should develop into a movement to make the whole

world live well. The fact that this"New Village Movement has

developed into the "New MindMovement"

is in line with God s

will i u'

Just as the "New VillageMovement"

is a movement to let the

body live well, the "NewMind

Movement"

is the movement to let

the spirit live well. The backboneof this "New Mind Movement

s spi t of loyalty and filial piety. If this "New Mind Move-

ment"

spreads throughout the world, the world will learn the true

spirit of loyalty and filial piety from us.

But this "New MindMovement"

should progress to one more

level. The movement which we should ultimately begin is the

"New LoveMovement."

The focus ofthe "New LoveMovement"

is to love God as our Father and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

The crown of love is sacrifice. The "NewMindMovement"

should

develop into a movement which knows how to sacrifice for God,for the world, for the nation and for all fellow countrymen.

This isJesus'

ultimate teaching, but in history Chistianityalways failed to accomplish this "New Love

Movement."

Anymovement which lives only for itself will necessarily fail, while

any movement which is willing to die to let others live will remain

eternally. Because the chosen people of Israel didn't understand

this, they rejected Jesus. When Rome, which enjoyed the pros

perity of the highest days of Christianity, became self-centered,

even that great empire finally collapsed internally.

God also once blessed England. There was a time when

England's power was spread so widely over the earth that one

could say, "The sun never sets on the BritishEmpire."

But when

her global colonial policy began to center on herself and she forgot

the meaning of God's real blessing, England's decline hastenedlike the falling leaves of autumn. She declined because she didn'tknow the "New Love

Movement."

Today America enjoys such power and blessings that it has noreason to envy Rome. For two hundred years America has prac

ticed well the "New VillageMovement"

and the "New MindMovement."

But if in the last days America does not practice the

"New LoveMovement"

which is willing to sacrifice for the world,the future of America will be gloomy.

Korea cannot be excepted from this principle of God either.

The way we should ultimately go is the "New LoveMovement."

If

we are not burning with sacrificial love which is willing to sacrifice

even self and nation to protect the world from communism and to

help the whole world live well, we may be prosperous for a while

but we will eventually fall into the same trap of decline that the

developed countries are experiencing today.

The Unification Church is now spreading this "New LoveMovement"

to over 120 countries throughout the five oceans andsix continents. And God is working together with this movement.Through this movement the ideal of unity of the five races

becoming brothers and sisters in both name and reality is beingpracticed. The homeland ofthe "New Love

Movement"

which the

Unification Church is leading is our fatherland, the Republic ofKorea.

Shine forth my beloved fatherland! You have at last beensummoned by God. You have become the homeland of the "NewLove

Movement"

which will save the world.

This is the testimony which I offer to you this morning. OurKorean people's most urgent task is

"awakening"

it is to awaken.We should awaken to the fact that we have been summoned byGod. We should awaken to the fact that we are a chosen people. Weshould awaken to the fact that we have not been chosen just to livewell ourselves, but we are the chosen people who should live tohelp the whole world live well.

When we awaken to this task, unite into one, and accomplishthis work then God's blessing will remain with our fatherlandforever. We will become the forerunners of a new age as princes ofGod, and the glory ofthe fatherland will be eternal and limitless
