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
