2. I support the church, continue with ecumenical work and
engage in Victory Over Communism activities for the sake
of Korea's unification.
I am well aware that the unification of Korea is the
beginning of the unification of the world.
The liberation of North and South Korea is the beginning
of the liberation of humankind.
There is only one root, and that is Korea.
This is why I have been sacrificing my entire
life for the liberation of Korea.
3. When ecclesiastic love waned, when waves of capitalistic
greed surged across Christian Europe, when starving
masses cried out bitterly in the slums, the promise of their
salvation came not from heaven but from the earth.

Its name was communism. Christianity, though it professed
the love of God, had degenerated into a dead body of
clergy trailing empty slogans.
5. When ecclesiastic love waned, when waves of capitalistic
greed surged across Christian Europe, when starving
masses cried out bitterly in the slums, the promise of their
salvation came not from heaven but from the earth.
Its name was communism. Christianity, though it professed
the love of God, had degenerated into a dead body of
clergy trailing empty slogans.
It was then only natural that a banner of rebellion would
be raised, arguing that a merciless God who would allow
such suffering could not exist. Hence, modern materialism
was born. Western society became a hotbed of materialism;
it was the fertile soil in which communism flourished.
6. Christianity lost the ability to equal the successes of either
communism or materialism and failed to present the truth
that could conquer their theories.
Christians watched helplessly as these ideologies budded and
thrived in their midst and expanded their influence all over the
world.
7. What a pity this is! What is more, although Christian doctrine
teaches that all humanity descended from the same parents,
many citizens of Christian nations who profess this doctrine will
not even sit together with their brothers and sisters of different
skin colors.
This illustrates the actual situation of today's Christianity, which
has lost much of the power to put the words of Jesus into
practice. It has become a house of lifeless rituals, a
whitewashed tomb.
8. Human history, woven of the lives of people who are inclined
toward both good and evil, is filled with struggle. Today,
external conflicts - battles over property, people and territory -
are gradually diminishing. People are coming together
transcending the differences between races.
The victors of World War II liberated their colonies, gave them
equal rights with the great powers and included them as
members of the United Nations.
Together, they are working toward a world order.
9. Hostility and discord in international relations have been
mitigated as economic concerns come to the forefront and
nations are cooperating to construct common markets. Culture
is freely circulating, the traditional isolation of nations is being
overcome and the cultural distance between East and West is
being bridged.
Nonetheless, one final and inescapable conflict remains before
us, the war between democracy and communism.
Although each side has equipped itself with fearsome weapons
and is pitted against the other in readiness for battle, the core
of their conflict is internal and ideological.
10. Which side will triumph in this final ideological conflict? Anyone
who believes in the reality of God will surely answer that
democracy will win.
However, democracy does not possess any doctrine which can
win over communism, nor does it have the power to do so.
11. Therefore, in order for God's providence of salvation to be
completely fulfilled, this new truth should first elevate the
idealism of the democratic world to a new level, then use it to
assimilate materialism, and finally bring humanity into a new
world.
This truth must be able to embrace all historical religions,
ideologies and philosophies and bring complete unity among
them.
12. What form does this final war between democracy and
communism take?
It is primarily a war of ideologies. Indeed, this war will never
truly cease unless a truth emerges which can completely
overthrow the ideology of Marxism-Leninism that is threatening
the modern world.
Communist ideology negates religion and promotes the
exclusive supremacy of science.
13. Hence, the new truth which can reconcile religion and science
will emerge and prevail over the communist ideology.
It will bring about the unification of the communist and
democratic worlds.
The trend of the history of conflict thus confirms that human
history is the providential history to restore the original, ideal
world.
14. It is only natural for the satanic realm, which reached its
apogee in communism, to promote socialism.
This is because Satan always attempts to realize, in advance
of God, a defective imitation of the divine plan.
God's plan is to develop a socialistic economy, although with a
form and content utterly different from the state socialism that
communism actually established.
15. The Ideals of Interdependence, Mutual Prosperity
and Universally Shared Values versus Communism
Since Satan mimics God's providence in advance, the satanic
side has advocated "scientific socialism" based on the theories
of dialectical and historical materialism and has built the
communist world.
The theory of historical materialism asserts that human history
began as a primitive collective society and will be
consummated with the creation of an ideal communist society.
16. After creating human beings, God promised to realize the
Kingdom of Heaven. However, because Satan had formed
kinship relations with people before God did, God had to
permit him to construct an unprincipled world through fallen
people in a distorted imitation of the ideal society which God
intends to accomplish on the earth.
The communist world is this unprincipled world built by Satan.
17. Democracies of two types arose with the purpose of
dismantling absolute monarchy and transferring sovereignty to
the people.
Likewise, movements to further the ideals of interdependence,
mutual prosperity and universally shared values arose on
God's side, while communism was born on Satan's side, in
order to demolish economic systems which concentrated a
society's wealth in the hands of a privileged few.
18. Each of these movements has sought to establish a system
which would distribute wealth more equally among people.
The aspirations to socialism on both sides have arisen in their
providential striving to realize a society based on a truly
democratic economic system.
19. The history of Western Europe is steered by the providence of
restoration, the three aspects of religion, politics and economy
have progressed separately through their own paths of
development.
How can they come together at one point at the consummation
of providential history to lay the foundation for
the Second Advent of Christ?
21. A fundamental cause of this separate development was the
divergence of religion and science, which are endeavors to
overcome humanity's spiritual and physical ignorance.
For the paths of religion, politics and economy to converge and
realize God's ideal, a new expression of truth must emerge
which can completely integrate religion and science.
The religion founded upon this truth will lead all of humanity to
become one with God in heart.
22. Such people will build an economy in accordance with the
divine ideal.
These will be the foundations for a new political order which
can realize the ideal of creation.
This will be the messianic kingdom built on the principles of
interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally shared
values.
23. The Cain-Type View of Life
Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820-1895)
systematized the logic of the left-wing Hegelians as dialectical
materialism.
They were influenced by Strauss and Feuerbach and also by
French socialism.
They combined dialectical materialism with atheism and
socialism to create the ideology of communism. In this way,
the Cain-type view of life, which budded after the Renaissance
and grew through the Enlightenment into atheism and
materialism, matured into the godless ideology of Marxism,
which became the cornerstone of the communist world of
today.
24. The Abel-Type View of Life
Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a renowned scientist
whose spiritual senses were awakened; he began a systematic
investigation of the spirit world and discovered many of its
secrets.
Although his research was long ignored by theologians,
recently, as increasing numbers of people have communicated
with the spirit world, its value is gradually being recognized.
In these diverse ways, the Abel-type view of life was maturing
to form the democratic world of today.
25. Communism was established in Russia.
Stalin soon rose to power as the antitype of Christ at the
Second Advent on Satan's side.
Since Christ comes with the ideals of the Kingdom of Heaven
on earth - interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally
shared values - the satanic side tries to realize these ideals in
advance by building an imitation of the Kingdom of Heaven on
earth, led by the satanic counterpart to Christ at the Second
Advent.
26. While Hitler was the antitype of Jesus on Satan's side, Stalin
was the antitype of the Second Advent of Christ on Satan's
side.
The fact that Hitler and his nation were destroyed, while Stalin
and his foundation of worldwide communism grew strong,
indicated that the time for building the spiritual kingdom under
the leadership of the resurrected Jesus had passed, and the
age for building a new heaven and new earth
(Rev. 21:1-7) under the leadership of Christ at the Second
Advent had begun.
28. 2nd Advent in the East
Since ancient times, the nations in the East have traditionally
been considered to be the three nations of Korea, Japan and
China. Among them, Japan throughout its history has
worshipped the sun goddess, Amaterasu-omi-kami.
Japan entered the period of the Second Advent as a fascist
nation and severely persecuted Korean Christianity.
29. China at the time of the Second Advent was a hotbed of
communism and would become a communist nation.
Thus, both nations belonged to Satan's side. Korea, then, is
the nation in the East where Christ will return.
Let us examine from the viewpoint of the Principle the various
ways in which Korea has become qualified to receive Christ at
the Second Advent.
As the nation to which the Messiah returns, Korea had to meet
the following qualifications.

31. Rev. Moon's activities may have filled a unique niche during
the Cold War.
While nongovernmental, his media initiatives and educational
initiatives in key sectors of society bolstered internal support
for governments opposed to communism.
32. A distinctive feature of his work was the extensive
popularization of a comprehensive ideological critique of
Marxism-Leninism.
Meanwhile, Rev. Moon carried out activities in communist
nations themselves which seem designed to help the
leadership of those nations come closer to the leading
Western powers.
