By Teacher Suksun
Through
the countless promises and covenants He made when the father of humanity fell
after the Creation, God vowed to return the new world where there are no crimes
or death to His children. The time has finally come for God to give this new
world to His children who will live as holy saints and not commit sin. This is
indeed the best news, the happiest news worth shouting about for mankind that
was dragged to its grave, unable to overcome death. If that is the case, who
will really enter that immortal new world and live there? They are the people
God chooses and accepts, those who receive His seal. Then, how and in what way
will they be sealed? Let me now clarify this matter.
[After these things I saw another angel coming down
from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his
glory.] (Rev. 18:1) [I saw another angel ascending from the rising of
the sun, having the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to
the four angels who had been given power to damage earth and sea, saying,
"Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have marked the
servants of our God with a seal on their foreheads."] (Rev. 7:2, 3, NRSV)
The
work of the sealing angel who comes down from heaven appointed by God is the
final harvest of this earth. After harvesting apples, watermelons, or other
fruits, we affix stickers and labels on the finest fruits. Likewise, the work
of the last sealing angel is to seal the children who perfectly resemble God,
who perfectly resemble heavenly Daddy's character and may be moved to the new
world. This is the final harvest of this earth.
In
Revelation, it is written, [After
these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great
authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.] (Rev. 18:1) This means that God will appoint the
sealing angel to come down from His throne, and the great authority represents
His authority. This event, which God appoints and will be carried out with the
authority of heaven, is the final, greatest, and most important event that
concludes the earth's final harvest.
Then,
from where will the angel who has been appointed by God to come down from
heaven begin selecting and sealing the children who will receive the Seed of
the new world?
It
is written, [I saw another angel
ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God, and he
called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to damage
earth and sea, saying, "Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees,
until we have marked the servants of our God with a seal on their
foreheads."] They held [the four winds of the earth so that no wind (of
war) could blow.] (Rev. 7:2, 3, 1, NRSV)
Among
the prime ministers, presidents, and kings of the more than 200 countries in
the world, there are many rulers and politicians with odd personalities.
Nevertheless, not one country or person will able to start a large-scale
(nuclear) war because Heaven will not permit it to happen. God will command the
release of the winds of a large-scale (nuclear) war only after He has chosen
and sealed His children who will receive the Seed of the new world.
In
the Holy Bible, it is written that the angel appointed by God begins the
work of sealing the foreheads of His children, who will receive the Seed of the
new world, from an area where the sun rises. It will begin [from the rising of the sun] and end where the sun sets.
Where
is the [rising of the sun]? The [rising
of the sun] is Chosun, the land of
the morning calm, Korea.
From long ago, when Easterners or Westerners drew world maps, they would draw a
red sun beside Korea
saying, "This is the country of the rising sun." Japan is
further to the east than Korea,
but they drew the sun next to Korea
and not Japan.
Since long ago, large nations such as China, Russia, and other countries in the
Orient have been referring to this small country Korea as "the land of the
rising sun," "a country of courteous people in the East," and
"Chosun" for thousands of years. Though the earth is round, Korea was known
as "the land of morning calm," "the land of the rising
sun," "a country of courteous people in the East," and
"Chosun," even before modern-day science. As the saying goes,
"The voice of the people is the voice of God."
An
American recently wrote the following statements: "The mighty angel is
seen ascending from the east (or where the sun rises). This mightiest of angels
has in his hand the seal of the living God, or of Him who alone can give life,
who can inscribe upon the foreheads the mark or inscription, to whom shall be
granted immortality, eternal life. We conclude that the angel ascending from
the east with the seal of the living God is the angel of God responsible for
the work of the harvesting of the earth." In addition, "God the
heavenly Father was very pleased to see the Law (Ten Commandments of love)
emerge with strength. The truth (Law of love) increases as it emerges and
becomes stronger. This is the seal from the land of the rising sun. It arises
like the sun and first shines beams of light to the darkness nearby. When the
truth first arises, it is a small light. However, it gradually increases. Ah,
what great power lies in the rays of light."
God's
love is the seal. When sinners accept the Law of love, the great truth of love,
they are transformed into God's image and become Gods. When the light of the
truth of love shines in the beginning, there are only a small number of people,
but they gradually grow in number. Eventually, the glorious rays of light will
cover the whole earth.
In
every generation, many sages and prophets of both the East and West prophesied
that Korea would lead the world in the new millennium. The following excerpts
are taken from articles that appeared in the Joongang Daily Newspaper during the early 1980's.
"Our people will be the heroes of the history
of mankind. Buddha has said that the country that will rule this chaotic world
and save humanity is a country across the sea; he was speaking of Korea.
Confucius spoke of an Eastern Manchurian people in the Northeast; he was also
speaking of Chosun. The Bible speaks of a group of people clothed in white; the
people of Korea were known as the 'white-clothed people.'"
And in Goong Ul Ga, the
prophetic writings of Mr. Nam, Sa-Go, it is written, "In the last days,
the savior of the world will come from the Korean peninsula. Goong Ul refers
to the 'Tae Geuk.'* 'Tae Geuk Shin Myung' is also mentioned and this refers to
the 'Absolute God' who appears as man." In other words, God will appear in
the form of man in Chosun, the Korean peninsula. (*"Tae Guk" of
Chinese philosophy is literally translated as "Great Absolute.")
It is written in the prophecy of Mr. Choi, Jae-Woo
that humans will become Gods and ascend to heaven in the last days.
"People will be perfected into Gods who rule the universe. God who rules
the universe will personally come in the form of man. Man will eternally solve
all issues concerning man, and the way to become a perfect God will be opened
to all. Therefore, sincerely worship your ancestors and God who comes in the
form of man."
It is written in the Book of Changes,
"Korea is in the 'gan bang,' the northeastern quarter, one of the eight
compass directions--right in between due east and due north. Here, 'gan' is a
newborn baby and represents a fruit. According to the prophecies of our
ancestors, the time has come for Korea to flower and fruit. The flowers must
first fall off in order to bear fruit. If the flowers are to fall off, wind is
necessary. This wind is prophesied as 'the gold wind' blowing from the West,
which refers to the wind of western culture. In particular, American culture
began blowing in our country more than thirty years ago. Korea will bear the
fruits of human history and make new world history with the help of America."
In
other words, the United States will help Korea become the savior of the world.
It has been written, "The grand truth that saves humanity will come out
from Korea." The grand truth (great truth) to save humanity and the world
in the last days will come out from Korea.
Another
prophecy of Mr. Nam Sa Go states, "World civilization begins from 'gan
bang,' the northeast. The truth of selflessness, the way of the universe, will
be understood in Chosun--a country of courteous people in the East.
Selflessness is love, the power of the universe that unites the life of the
universe. Selflessness is the word that will awaken the new era (new world) of
the universe."
The
way of the universe, the way of heaven and earth, is love, which is the life of
God. That way of love will be found in "the country of courteous people in
the East," and is the truth of selflessness, the life of the universe, and
God's life. God's life is love and His love will come out from Korea. The above
were prophecies of holy people who were inspired by God.
During
the time of Christ's first coming, the corrupt priests of Jerusalem opened up
the Scriptures and preached to the people every week. However, they did not
recognize the Son of God and committed the sin of killing Him. On the other hand,
the Holy Spirit inspired the wise men from the East, gentiles who did not know
the Scriptures or the prophecies, and they clearly recognized and accepted Him.
Just carrying around the Holy Bible and
books of prophecy did not mean that they knew everything. Throughout history,
God fulfilled His work through people who were pure in heart. Most of them were
strict vegetarians, transcended carnal desires, lived temperate lives, and were
able to keep their thoughts holy. They were holy saints who could never imagine
selfishness, greed, or the desire for fame. God used them because they were
holy and pure channels.
Selflessness
is the life of the universe, God's life, for God's love makes the universe one.
The "universal strength to unite," is the love of heaven, and love is
power. That is why those who receive the love of heaven will not die but live
immortally. Love is the life, strength, and power of the universe.
A
nation of love will be established with the sealing of the holy people of the
immortal, new world beginning in Korea. [In
the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall
never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people.] (Dan. 2:44) It is written that this nation will
stand forever, be a moral country of love that will never be destroyed. This is
the beginning of a new era for the universe. The country established by God
will not harm others or conquer them as the countries established by man. It is
a country of holy saints who have accepted God, the Embodiment of love, into
their hearts. They have established heaven in their hearts; understand that
everyone is their real brother or sister; value, love, and care for each person
as much as they do themselves; and live together in nature under God's guidance.
Those
who do not know God and give themselves to sin may fear the end (destruction)
of the world. However, that will be the beginning of happiness for the holy
saints led by God. It is the beginning, not the end, for the heirs to the new
world. That is why there is such a tremendous difference between the righteous
people and the evildoers, just as heaven and earth are different.
Buddha,
Confucius, and prophets of the East and West all prophesied that the truth of
eternal life will come out from Korea in the last days and save the whole
world. Until now, God protected the earth and restrained any nation from
stirring up the winds of a large-scale (nuclear) war so that the people of
Korea can fulfill that work.
Sir
Tagore, a poet and prophet of India, also praised Korea with these words.
[The Light of the East]
"In
the golden age of Asia,
Korea
was one of its lamp bearers.
That
lamp is waiting to be lighted again,
For
the illumination of the East.
It
is where the mind is without fear
And
the head is held high,
Where
knowledge is free,
Where
the world has not been divided into pieces,
Where
words come from the depths of truth,
Where
tireless, striving stretch its arms towards perfection,
Where
the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into
the dreary desert sand of dead habits,
And
where the mind is led forward by you
Into
ever-widening thought and action,
Into
that heaven of freedom.
The
homeland of my heart Korea,
May
you awake from your sleep!"
This
poet and prophet who never visited Korea said that Korea had nothing to fear
since it had accepted God. While other races in the world were divided and
lived as multiracial nations, Korea had preserved itself as a single race. The
words of life would flow out of Korea to the whole world and it would open its
arms to invite all the prodigals of the world to return. All the countries in
the world would yearn for Korea. Before he died, he blessed Korea, saying,
"The homeland of my heart, Korea! Awake from your sleep. Awake to receive
and bestow blessings."
Many
sages in the world have envied, prophesied, and praised Korea as the savior of
the world, the country of light, and the country of immortality that will save
the world. Mr. Ham, Suk-Hun, considered Korea's "Gandhi," wrote a
book about Korea. The more I read it, the more it convinced me that it was
written with the inspiration of heaven, and not by human wisdom.
The
following passages were taken from a chapter titled, "The Mission that
History Dictates to Us."
"A
new war is calling us. It is not a war of struggles fought by heroes, but a war
of the truth. It does not call for steel swords or rifles but true justice. The
history of the world is about to change. At this time, when all of the great
nations of today that will soon enter the 'trash can' of history look to fight
an old-fashioned war, we must prepare our hearts for the new fight that will
take place shortly." While the great nations are busy making weapons to
kill people and looking to wage old-fashioned wars, we must quickly slip away
and prepare ourselves for the splendid war of the truth in the new era.
"Just
as the founding Christians were brave before the Roman Empire, we must heighten
the fight against modern civilization. If they take our outer garment, let us
give them our inner garment as well; if they work us as slaves, let us serve
them with brotherly love; if they harm us, we must be prepared with the
strength to pray, "Do not account them for their sins."
...Our
fight is not a fight to force unhappiness upon others but to save the lives of
the world by gratefully bearing affliction, the result of sin. We ourselves
will fear and worry about our weaknesses when our consciences are not fully
prepared. However, when the light of justice shines in our heart and love for
the truth kindles in our heart, we will discover that today's armed countries
are nothing more than Goliath.
Just
as the fate of Israel rested on one man, David, the future of the world rests
upon our victory or defeat. Do you doubt these words? Do you doubt this because
it is too great a glory? To think that this is too great a glory is an outdated
conception of the past. If you think this is impossible, then you might as well
doubt David who saved Israel with a single stone.
David
was not a mighty person, just a shepherd boy. He became mighty because he
received the calling of God.... We are not determining the future of humanity
because we have the ability to, but because Providence commands us to. This is
a historical necessity. Since the consequences of injustice in the world have
been charged upon us, we are the only ones who can wash them away. This is our
mission. We are the only ones who can fulfill this mission. England cannot do
it, and the United States cannot either.... Just as in the past, new history
has always begun from the "trash can," and it is much more so for the
history to come. Therefore, if Korea...does its job and is victorious, humanity
will be saved. If not, the world is doomed.
We
must prove that people are not slaves to materialism. We must show that power
is not justice, and that power will not prevail in the end. We must prove that
the forces of injustice can never destroy mankind. We must prove that love can
overcome Satan, and that saving humanity through suffering is not a lie. We
must also prove to the whole world that we can only rid ourselves of sin
through forgiveness. This is why the fate of humanity rests upon us.... If God
entrusted us with this unique, grand mission for the future history of mankind,
we must courageously arise to fulfill it.
(In
order for our people to courageously arise,) there must (first) be a core group
to arouse them, just as a seed is needed first in order for a tree to grow. Who
will make up the core of that core group? They will have to be those who love
the truth.
No
one can know the future without the eyes of a religious faith. The future war
is a war of the truth, and it is a war won by faith. Because Confucianism
failed to do its work, Buddhism failed to do its work, and Christianity failed
to do its work, the world has changed considerably. (It has come to ruins.)
We,
who are preparing for the new day and bearing all the remnants of civilization
and religion, need a new religion. The time has come for those with a will to
prepare for the fight. The sound of labor pains from the world giving birth to
a new era is growing louder and louder.... Therefore, warriors...! Sell all
your garments of old conceptions, old systems, and old rituals and buy the
sharp, double-edged sword of the truth. Sell all your old religions, old views
of the world, old philosophies of history, old mortal ceremonies, earthly
morals, and earthly (deceptive) love. Sell them and buy the sword of truth that
is purer than fine gold and finished in the eternal forge of the holy
Blacksmith (God). This is all that is necessary from now on. Morals that are
dignified in the classrooms, but powerless outside are useless. Those morals
that are found to be otherwise in the battlefields are also useless for the
coming history (days). Faith that causes people to be pious and shed tears only
at church or in the temple but disappears once outside is useless. Religions
that tear the universe into ten or twenty pieces, religions that prepare a hell
in order to eternally confine most of the pitiful people just to make a few
people happy, and other such aristocratic religions are useless in the coming
history (days).
Patriotism
based on the philosophy of struggling for survival must be excluded in the
world to come. We love our country not out of so-called patriotism, but because
the kingdom of heaven can come to no other country but Korea. We love our
people not out of fraternity, but because the voice of God cannot be heard
without them; His will cannot be made known if they are disregarded. They must
do their duty well, not for the sake of survival but for the sake of the truth.
Koreans not living well is pain for the whole universe and sorrow to God. They
will be warriors for the new era on the day that the heart of Korea is
perfectly armed with the truth....
Arise,
young souls! Let us bear the burden of affliction. Let us bear this earth,
which has been defiled by iniquities, upon our shoulders and walk through the
purgatory of affliction as martyrs, believing in our great mission and burning
with a sacred love. On the day the fire burns our flesh and melts our bones,
life will develop anew. The truth will shine brighter in a new light. History
will reach a new stage." Observing the Meaning of Korean History by
Ham, Suk-Hun>
I
contemplated, "There are so many eminent, leading countries in the world
such as England, France, the United States of America, Germany, and great Asian
countries such as China, Russia, and Japan that are larger and more populated
than Korea. Why did God choose to crown a country that is smaller and a race
that is physically small with the holy truth of heaven and the glorious mission
in these last days?" However, the more I thought about it, the more I was
convinced that even if I were God, I would give this holy truth to no other country
but Korea. Morality in all the eastern and western countries became irreparably
depraved. Even Korea's closest neighbor, Japan, has become so depraved. I do
not even want to mention the depravity of America. The whole world has depraved
into beasts; people have the face of human beings, but have all become beasts
inside. This is not to say that Korea is not depraved. Korea's deep depravity
is also a sign of destruction, and it continues to deprave. However, it is a
little better than other countries. There is hope because some morals still
exist.
Even
if we were God and searched the whole earth ten or hundred times asking
ourselves, "Which country should I give this truth to?" Korea would
be the only country. This is because Korea is less morally depraved than other
countries.
When
asking Westerners about practicing filial piety toward their parents, they
reply, "Filial piety? What is that? Why should I go through the hassle of
living with my elderly parents when I can live comfortably alone?" and
send their parents off to a retirement home. When asked to be loyal to their
country or to their ruler, they say, "Who cares about loyalty? If we do
not like him (her), we can either replace that person with someone else or
shoot him (her)." When wives are asked to keep their chastity to their
husbands, they reply, "What's that?" Most do not even know the
meaning of the words chastity, filial piety, or loyalty. They do not even know
what the fundamental duties of man are.
From
long ago, Koreans served only one king, practiced filial piety towards their
parents even at the cost of their lives, and virtuous wives served and were
faithful to only one husband. Only the people of Korea showed exemplary filial
piety to their parents--during a severe famine, a son cut a piece of his thigh
off to feed his parents. Only in Korea, were loyal retainers tortured with a
red-hot iron and killed for serving only one king, while women killed
themselves in front of their enemies in order to remain chaste to their
husbands.
Korea
is a beautiful country! It is a country of faithful woman, loyal retainers, and
filial children, a country with morals! Those charms allowed Korea to gain the
love of heaven. When such people serve God, their loyalty and chastity towards
Him will also be single-hearted and filled with ardent love. While the rest of
the world has become depraved, how fortunate it is that Korea still has
beautiful morals. We should be proud of Korea. Even if the readers of this book
were God and you each asked yourself, "Which country should I give this
holy, immortal truth to?" no matter how many times you would search the
world, Korea would be the only country to give the truth to. Many immigrate to
foreign countries because they do not like to live here in Korea. However, the
time has come to be grateful for being born in the glorious country of Korea.
Long
ago, no one knew about Korea, and it could not be found on any map. Now, Korea
has become so well known; anyone unfamiliar with Korea is not a native of this
planet. Heaven is glorifying Korea through all kinds of events. Whether it is
the Olympics, sports competitions, or the International Vocational Training
Competition, Korea is being honored in the world. The attention of the world
has focused on Korea, more so now than in the past. They all come to this small
country that is like the tail of a rabbit, located at the end of the continent.
The world now praises Korea as a wonderful country.
The International Vocational Training Competition
brings together the most talented, brilliant, and outstanding competitors from
countries such as Germany, Israel, and Japan. The competition has been held
once every two years for the past twenty-six years. Korea came in first place
twelve times and came in second only once. The contestants from Korea initially
practiced with inferior machines and then had to use the newer machines of the
host nation during the competition. The other contestants had already been
practicing with those machines since they were manufactured in their country,
while the contestants from Korea had to get accustomed to the newer machines
right on the spot. Yet, they took first place, causing many people in the world
to say, as shaking their heads, "We are no match for the Koreans."
No one can say it was by chance that a country
with a population of a little more than forty million people prevailed over all
the more than 200 World Powers, some with populations of several hundred
million people, and placed seventh, then fourth, at the summer Olympic games.
At the Seoul (1986) and Busan Asian Games (2002), Korea even surpassed Japan,
which is twice the size of Korea, by a wide margin and came in second place
behind China, which has a population of 1.3 billion people. When taking into
account the population ratio between the two countries, it can be said that
Korea defeated China.
In other words, Korea was foremost among the 200
countries that participated in the summer Olympic games and the king of Asia in
the Asian Games, too. Though Korea performed quite well, many people may
acknowledge that Heaven gave Korea some breaks. "I will give you the
glory," Heaven said as Korea won to become the king of Asia and the king
of the world. Heaven glorifies and honors Korea in everything and strives to
awaken the Korean people in a countless number of ways.
Heaven did not glorify Korea through various
events simply out of love for this country. Korea has been highlighted above
all the other countries in order to fulfill Heaven's glorious goal and plan and
to save all the real children throughout the world in the last days.
Afterwards, the world will be shown many unique signs within Korea that
disclose the secret revelations of heaven to the world.
[Surely
the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.]
(Amos 3:7)
When
a nation amends its constitution, the government first announces the amendments
to the citizens of the country before enforcing them. Likewise, our God first
announces a certain plan or providence, and then executes it. That is why it
has been said that the voice of the people is the voice of God--God moves the
sentiment of the people (the general public). He shows us through various,
peculiar signs.
Right
before the Korean War broke out, children were playing a popular
"Territorial Conquest" game after school every day. They would kneel
on the ground, draw a square in the dirt, and flick around a circular piece of
wood inside the square to take each other's land. Opponents would take land
from each another, and in the end, the land would be divided in half. About
that time, war broke out between the North and the South, each fighting to take
the other's territory. In the end, a line was drawn at the 38th parallel, and
the land was divided in half. God shows us in advance, what will happen in the
world. He says, "A certain event will take place, so be careful. Get
ready." This is a revelation from God showing us the signs.
Long
ago, when the city of Cheongju was destroyed, a man walked throughout the city
during the day carrying a rice-wine strainer. Young people nowadays are not
familiar with rice-wine strainers. Our ancestors made rice strainers by cutting
bamboo into thin strips and weaving these strips into a strainer. The strainer
was then nailed to the inner wall of the wine vat and used to keep the residues
out. Only the clear wine (raw or refined rice wine) inside the strainer was
scooped up with a bowl to drink. However, this man was walking around wearing
it upside down on his head. When people asked, "Excuse me, why are you walking
around wearing that rice-wine strainer?" he would reply, "Scoop up
some wine. Scoop up some wine."* "What? Is your head a wine vat that
you ask people to scoop up some wine? You're crazy." However, he continued
walking around Cheongju warning people to leave Cheongju. When anyone would ask
him, "Why are you going around wearing that strainer?" he would
always reply, "I'm telling you, scoop up some wine (leave Cheongju)."
People only said, "You're crazy," without realizing that this was
actually an omen. After circling Cheongju several times, he disappeared.
Shortly afterwards, Cheongju was completely destroyed. Though he was a prophet
and a voice warning the people to quickly leave Cheongju, people failed to
comprehend the spiritual meaning and simply said he was crazy.
The
same thing happened when the corrupt church of Jerusalem, the religious center
of the world where people gathered in the millions, was destroyed. The city of
Jerusalem was one of the greatest wonders of the world. People said, "Human
beings cannot build such a city," and something that scientists could not
even build. However, the huge gates of Jerusalem, which could only be opened by
more than twenty strong, young men, swung open in the middle of the night
without the help of single a human hand, and a voice could be heard
underground, "God has forsaken this church of Jerusalem. Leave quickly.
Leave!" This was a sign from heaven. (*The phrase "Scoop up some
wine," and "Leave Cheongju," have the same exact pronunciation
when spoken in Korean.)
An
unknown young man traveled around the streets of Jerusalem saying,
"Because God has forsaken this church, it will be destroyed. Run away.
Quickly leave the city. God has forsaken this people." No one knew who
sent him, what his name was, or even his identity. He was just a farmer from
the countryside who went around crying out those words. The so-called high
priests, the servants of the God, took him, beat him, and imprisoned him, but
he did not say a word. However, when he came out of the prison, he continued
crying out, "This church will be destroyed, so quickly leave." After
crying out like that for seven years, the city of Jerusalem, the center of
corrupt religion, was completely destroyed. At that time, over one million
people were gruesomely burned to death.
[Surely
the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the
prophets.] (Amos
3:7)
Another
important event will gloriously take place in the last days. [Behold...before the coming of the
great and dreadful day (of judgment) of the Lord (I)...will turn the hearts of
the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.]
(Mal. 4:5, 6) The fathers
and children mentioned here are the heavenly Father and the prodigals of this
earth. As it is written in the Bible, [do
not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in
heaven.] (Mat. 23:9)
In the 1980's, there was a campaign to reunite separated families of the Korean
War about the time heaven and earth were to be unified according to this
prophecy, as a sign. This was about the time the heavenly Father and the
earthly prodigals (sinners) were to meet and became one, in other words, about
the time the separated universal family was to be reunited. This should have
happened sooner. Why did it unexpectedly take place half a century later? This
was because heaven's appointed time had come. The whole world, including all
the democratic and communist countries, arose saying, "Let us all work
together to help reunite the separated families in Korea," and shed tears
together as they helped to unite separated families. The news reported this
event in the headlines everyday and stirred the entire world. It was a sign
from our heavenly Father for the last days. He was saying, "Children! Since
the time has come to find My separated children--My children who left My bosom
and are suffering scattered--beginning from Korea, you return to My bosom,
too" From then on, the earthly prodigals began returning to the bosom of
our heavenly Father, completely fulfilling the providence of the reunion of the
separated universal family.
Moreover,
why did atheists who smoke and drink sing a song based on First Corinthians,
chapter 13 in Korea during the early 1980's? If you were to ask atheists to
sing hymns, they would reply, "Are you crazy?" and refuse to.
However, they sang, "Love is longsuffering, love is kind....♪♬"
Why did this happen? God's children should have been singing songs to spread
God's love. However, all the churches became corrupt, busy doing impertinent
things, instead of spreading God's love. Therefore, God raised
"stone-hearted" atheists to proclaim His love. [I tell you that if these should
keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.] (Luke 19:40)
After
the song spread, our heavenly Real Daddy's law of love, His truth of love, was
spread throughout the whole world from Korea.
When
the great truth "Be a Foot," which tells us that we must be feet in
order to obtain eternal life, came out, factories all over Korea started making
and selling accessories in the shape of a foot with "Love" written on
it. It was telling us to be soles of love. I still have a key chain that only
has four toes on it and "Forever" written on it.* This meant,
"Be the toes of love and the sole of mankind, and die serving all. Be an
eternal foot." We must be eternal feet in order to receive the seal of
heaven. When asked why they made an ugly foot instead of a beautiful hand, the
factory managers replied that they did not know why. They said that they just
felt like making it. All the factories in Korea made these accessories
simultaneously, as if they had made some agreement to do so. This was a sign of
heaven. Our heavenly Daddy moved the hearts of the factory owners to make an
inaudible proclamation to the world. (*The number 'four' is associated with
death)
That
is not all. In addition, the foot was popular even in the United States. There
were drawings of a crowned foot and a foot with a floral wreath blowing a horn
printed in newspapers and magazine articles. Who told Americans to draw feet?
The signs of heaven precisely reveal what will happen in the world. Our
heavenly Daddy moved the whole world and used those signs to make them realize,
"You must all become humble feet in order to live with Me." Even politicians
who were not Christians went around shouting, "Let us be the feet of the
people."
If
the world still cannot understand, this earth will soon be destroyed, like
Cheongju and Jerusalem. God is a Father who teaches us in thousands of ways.
Our Father has now glorified Korea the most with riches, power, and glory.
Why
is our Father glorifying Korea? His providence is to gloriously exalt Korea so
that the world can behold the country where He will reveal the final truth of
salvation, the truth of love, the truth of eternal life. When that happens,
that is the end of the final harvesting of the world. Throughout history, all
the prophecies in the Bible were fulfilled at the religious centers of the
world at that time. It was fulfilled in Israel when Jerusalem was the center
long ago, in Rome when Rome was the center, and most recently in America.
However, in the last days, Korea will be the religious center of the world. If
the fight between the truth and fallacy is won in Korea, it will be victory for
the world. The battlefield of the fiercest spiritual wars will be in Korea.
That is why the Presidents of the United States of America, for generations,
have continuously promised to protect Korea at all cost. They are determined to
not give up as in Vietnam and protect Korea to the end, at the risk of their
lives. Although it is because their country benefits from doing so, our God
also commanded them from the "White House" of heaven, "Be
Korea's guard." That is why the Presidents of the United States of America
have vowed to protect Korea at all cost until now.
Then
why does God love Korea so much? It is because Korea is less morally corrupt.
In other words, God gave Korea the mission to select those who will receive the
Seed of the immortal country, the new world. Europe or America seems like a
good choice since they are more materialistically civilized, but that is the
cause of their moral corruption. Korea must not lose its beautiful morals.
However, the morals of Korea are rapidly decaying nowadays. If Korea's
beautiful native morals die out, the country will also perish.
When
I was young, I never heard of housewives drinking or dancing. Only prostitutes
working at bars would drink, shout aloud, and dance. Housewives were not even
allowed to show their faces outside. Nowadays, the world has changed. Many
housewives resemble prostitutes, drinking and dancing with other men and having
illicit relationships. Under the mask of travel, they dance with different men
on trips. Under the mask of social life they all sink into lechery.
This
is truly sad. This is the very sign of Korea's demise. Jesus said, "If
salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing
but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men." The saltiness of
Korea is its morality. God loved Korea for its beautiful morals and chose it to
be the last savior of the world and the guide to the new world of the new
millennium. Those with perception should strive to preserve the beautiful
morals of Korea.
Let
me again say that the morals of Korea are collapsing rapidly. Young women stop
cars driven by men they do not know and ride off with them. Women even stop
motorcycles and ride off with their arms around the man's waist. Moreover, if
the woman is disgruntled, she accuses him of rape. What a brazenfaced woman!
How can she say she was raped when she was the one who stopped the car
(motorcycle) of a complete stranger and rode off with him? That is premeditated
enticement and an inexpressibly impudent assertion. Supposedly, women go after
men these days.
I,
too, experienced something like that when I was living in the countryside in
Jeonla Province. I was riding my bicycle on the main road when I suddenly heard
a woman screaming, "Mister! Let's go together!" Though I was busy at
the time, I stopped, thinking that maybe it was an emergency and that she was
on her way back home from the pharmacy with medicine. A woman so young I could
not tell whether she was married or not came running. I asked her, "What
is wrong?" She said, "Can you give me a ride?" I replied,
"You can sit in the back (on the luggage rack)." As soon as she sat
down, she put her arms around my waist, causing me to blush. How could I tell
her to get off when I had just told her to sit down? Though I was burning from
embarrassment, I had no choice but to ride on. On top of that, she was very
heavy. I could not take it anymore. Though I had planned to go straight, I
steered my bicycle towards another direction. I asked her to get off, saying,
"I have to go this way." After she got off, I asked her who she was.
I discovered that she was the newlywed daughter-in-law of the owner of the mill
on the main road. What would her husband or father-in law have done if they had
seen what she did? However, it did not seem to matter to her. I had doubts
about her past.
When
the leader of our community or the head of our neighborhood association came to
collect taxes, I never saw my mother, who has passed away, pay them
face-to-face when my father was not present. She handed them the money while
looking the other away. In the past, if a man passed by a woman on the street,
the woman would quietly stand off to the side until the man passed by and then
continue. Korean women had many such beautiful virtues. Some women were so
faithful to their husbands that they died with them, despite the abuse and
grief they endured during their marriage.
Some
faithful retainers in Korean history died keeping their loyalty to one king.
Even when being tortured with red-hot iron, they died screaming,
"This iron has gone cold. Bring a new one." In addition, there were
filial sons who cut off flesh from their thighs, cooked it, and served it to
their parents during times of famine.
There
is no other country in the world as beautiful and holy as Korea. We must never
lose the beautiful morals of "the country of courteous people in the
East." Once they are lost, Korea will perish. If Korea loses its beautiful
morals, then God will remove the crown and place it on another like the Hunza
country. God will surely finish the work of this earth's redemption through any
nation or people. This is His pledge, His vow, and His determination. Even if
all the housewives in Korea become prostitutes and all the morals in the world
disappear, at least those with perception should become the holy saints who
walk the path of the holy truth of "the country of courteous people in the
East" (Korea) and keep those morals to the end. This is because in the near future, our
heavenly Daddy will move them to the new world as its heir, as children who
will receive the Seed of the new world, the new heavens and earth that He has
spoken of and promised for thousands of years.
In conclusion, let us find out which area of the
East and which country the saviors of humanity will be coming from by examining
the prophecies in the Holy Bible since it has been prophesied that they
would appear from the East.
[(I will
call) a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes My counsel, from a far
country.] (Isa.
46:11)
A
bird of prey represents those who quickly fulfill God's providence. [As for the likeness of their
faces, each had the face of a man...the face of a lion on the right side...the
face of an ox on the left side, and...the face of an eagle.] (Eze. 1:10) Those are the
attributes of God, and an eagle represents those who fill quickly fulfill God's
providence. Where will the people who will quickly fulfill God's providence
come from? Who will raise them up from the East?
God
said, "I will raise them up." [I
have raised up one from the north, and he shall come; from the rising of the
sun he shall call on My name.] (Isa.
41:25)
God
said He would raise [one]
from Korea, from the rising
of the sun. The God of heaven did not entrust the work to any nation or corrupt
religion but said that [I]
would personally raise him
up.
[Behold,
the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was
like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.] (Eze. 43:2) The glory of the God
of Israel will come from the east, the rising of the sun, from Korea. In the
beginning, God's voice is that of one person. Afterwards, many righteous people
[like the sound of
many waters] arise.
This refers to the rising of a core group. At first, one person arises to form
the core group. After the core group arises, it will enlighten Korean people
and the world, bringing forth the heirs to the new world.
In
the beginning, God personally raises an eagle from the East-- [one person] who will quickly fulfill God's
providence. Then, many people [like
the sound of many waters] will
arise with the same spirit.
[Therefore
glorify the Lord in the east, the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.... From
the ends of the earth we hear songs, "Glory to the Righteous One."]
(Isa. 24:15, 16, NASB)
[But news
from the east and the north shall trouble him (a protester of heaven);
therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many....
Yet, he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.] (Dan. 11:44, 45)
The
east and the north mentioned here is Korea, considered a part of Northeast
Asia. "Protestants"--holy, righteous people--from Korea, or Northeast
Asia, who oppose those who disobey heaven, will arise and oppose the false
religions that have consumed the entire world and corrupted morals, and the authorities
of injustice. Their fight is not with the armed might of this world or with
violence. It is a fight to drive away the evil influences of the dark world
through their holy lives. They are the very heirs to the new world of the new
era. The fate of the Korea, the world, and the entire universe, rests upon
Korean people. Therefore, we must be the warriors of truth whose eyes shine
with the light of truth like Christ, and we must be heroes of morality.
[Who
raised up one from the east? Who in righteousness called him to His feet?]
(Isa. 41:2) [I took you from the ends of the
earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, "You are my
servant"; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.] (Isa. 41:9, NIV) This
means that God raised up a person from the East who would lead people to His
feet and throne. This is the last event that will be fulfilled.
He
asks the question, "Who did it?" Though He did everything all along,
He acts as if He is looking for that person by asking, "Who did it?"
Our Daddy is amusing. On the night He wrestled with Jacob at the Brook Jabbok
thousands of years ago, He could have said early in the evening, "It's
Me." Instead, He acted as if He did not know him. After wrestling all
night with him, He said, "It's Me," at dawn. Even today, acting as if
He is looking for someone, He asks, [Who
raised up one from the east? Who in righteousness called him to His feet?]
Right afterwards, He
answers, "I did," as if He is playing hide-and-seek with his loving
children. Our Daddy is truly amusing. [You
whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest
regions, and said to you, "You are My servant, I have chosen you and have
not cast you away."]
In
Psalms, it is written, [Great
is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in His holy
mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion on
the sides of the north, the city of the great King.] (Psa. 48:1, 2) This means that
the people (Gods) of the new world who were called and chosen by God, holy
people of the great King, will gather on Mount Zion of the Northeast, Korea.
What a truly wonderful glory and a universal great blessing. Let us offer
gratitude day and night for giving the truth of salvation to Korea, the country
prophesied of by Eastern and Western prophets, in these last days and for
crowning the Korean people with the mission to save the world.
Let
me end after focusing on the exact location based on the Holy Bible.
According to Biblical prophecies, the righteous who will save the world will
arise from the [east,], from the [way of the east,] [from the rising of the sun,]
and those who execute His
counsel will come from [north][east] Asia, [from a far country,] [from the ends of the earth,]
and from the [farthest corners.]
China,
Korea, and Japan together make up Northeast Asia, Far East Asia. Then among the
three, which one is the glorious country?
It
is written that the children of God who will fulfill His providence will arise
from [north][east] Asia and [from the ends of earth.] Japan is not at the [ends of the earth.] It is an island, so it is not
applicable. China is at the top of the earth and not at the end, so it is not
applicable also. Korea is the only country that is at the [ends of the earth.] More precisely, it is written
that the country is at the [farthest
corners.] If we take
the map of the Far East, we can see that Korea is the corner of Northeast Asia.
In addition, it is not in North Korea, but in South Korea, the [ends of earth], that the heirs to the new world
in the new millennium will arise. The prophecies of heaven are not even off by
1/1,000 of an inch and are precisely fulfilled.
If
you look throughout history, how many times did
powerful, surrounding nations try to invade, trample on, and swallow up
Korea? It has been invaded close to a thousand times. There is a proverb,
"There is no tree that cannot be felled with ten blows of an ax."
However, Korea did not fall even after it was attacked close to a thousand
times. God of heaven has protected and watched over Korea because the saviors
(Gods) of this world will come out from this glorious country. A part of the
national anthem of the Republic of Korea is as follows: "Hurrah to our
country, for God protects us." Because this is the very country where
Gods, the heirs to the new world, incorruptible, holy people, would be coming
out from, our heavenly Daddy has protected this country as the apple of His
eye.
God
has now bestowed the greatest grace and mission of the universe upon Korea and
to those of us who will never lose the saltiness of sound morals and who have
become Gods. As receivers of such a sacred grace, let us not lose our holiness
but carry out this great mission. In order to do so, even if the whole world
becomes depraved like beasts and even if Korean people become polluted and
corrupted, let us preserve our conscience and the beautiful morals that please
God as the small number of people with perception. Let us make sure that
heaven's grace never departs from us by becoming Gods who will receive the Seed
of the new world in the new millennium, holy heirs to new history. Since
heavenly Daddy has placed His expectations on the Korean people and the small
number of His children on earth who have retained their saltiness, I hope that
you will be the seeds of the new world; heirs to the indestructible country;
heirs to the eternally happy country; heirs to the new world of the new
millennium. I hope that you will enjoy this eternal glory and grace as the
eternally happy, immortal Gods, the splendid Gods who receive all of heavenly
Daddy's grace and love forever.
[In
the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom (the country of
Gods) which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to
other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it
shall stand forever.] (Dan.
2:44) [But the
saints (real children) of the Most High shall receive the kingdom (of the new
world), and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.] (Dan. 7:18)
