Which people is the strongest and most enduring among the peoples of the world? It is not a Western country that I am thinking of. Which people is the representative of the world's people? This people originated from having to endure, and they have an ideology of endurance. This people must maintain its unique ideology of tenacity, and not allow anyone to deprive them of it. Also they have to maintain their traditions. The Jewish people are such a people. Also the Christians. It is strange to speak of "the Christian people." Have you ever heard this term? [No] The Christian people is the group assembled centering around Christianity. A group which has a religious ideology as its center is very tenacious. After they have heard such an ideology, such a people should go forward even in the face of death, to accomplish God's will. This people must be certain of its path, and believe in the protection of God. Without this, even though a man may be very strong, he will not have the independent power to climb The end of the year is coming soon. If you have a plan to do something in early January, can you confidently say at the end of December, "I finished my work according to plan, and have done so successfully!"? Many situations can arise in the course of a single year, so even if a man is strong it does not mean that by himself he will have the ability to overcome the difficulties of each situation, which may result from the changes in the nation or in the world. This is life. Do you agree with me? [Yes] In order to overcome difficulties and survive, a man has to have a unique kind of thought. What kind of thought is this? Is it philosophy? No. It is a religious ideology. A religious ideology is the most fearful kind of thought. This world needs to travel the course of a people with a religious ideology, and also find the path that leads to the future by digesting the past and the present. Christianity has followed a historical course. Following Christianity, a different religion will appear. Buddhism and Confucianism also have long histories, and the Jewish people have experienced many things during their course of thousands of years. After the Jewish people, the next people is the Korean people. I am not sure whether Korea has a strongly established religious ideology or not. Which people should be the guiding people? The guide must be a people that centers itself on an ideology of worshipping heaven. It must be a people which feels they have a unique mission for God in Asia. This people must be a homogeneous people, because any mixed people is not pure.
