1. Japanese Colonial Rule of Korea

The history of the restorational providence is the history for restoration through indemnity by establishing corresponding conditions and circumstances. It is God's providence to erect indemnity conditions through by repeating missions unaccomplished through history of two thousand years since Jesus Christ died.

The Second Advent could not come to an independent nation. Israel could not have met Jesus Christ as its ruler. The Israelites had lost their own nation, and many tribes had been scattered. So Jesus Christ started in a lonely position without a nation and church. In the days of the Second Advent, God has to prepare to connect with one country in that position.

The nation that is in a position like that is Korea. Korea, externally and internally, is very similar to the Israelite people. Externally, Korean history has been the history to restore Abel and Cain. Korea has been in the position to be invaded. Internally, Korea has had a very complicated history until today. In recent history, Korea was a Japanese colony for 40 years. That corresponded to the Roman persecution for 400 years of Christianity. It also corresponded to the 400 years in Egypt by the Israelites. Because it corresponded to such times the Koreans had to go through so much suffering. As you know, the country of Japan worships the Shinto gods.

Japan took approximately 120 years to reach the summit of modern civilization. Japan externally developed their own country. Korea has internally developed for 120 years centering on Christianity. Already 80 years have passed. Unless we bring about worldwide reconstruction within 40 years, we have no way to bring victory.
