1. Korea is the Worldwide Sacrificial Nation

1) Korea Bearing the Mission of World Historical Indemnity

Now we should recognize the stark law of cause and effect that we call the law of restoration through indemnity as the undeniable principle of the process of providential history. In the Last Days, when we ask who will take on the mission for the Indemnification of world history, we must realize the country is none other than Korea.

Through the Korean war, the world's left-right conflict became centered on the confrontation line of the 38th parallel. Because of two ideologies that had no relationship and had no affinity, people, became sacrifices, shedding their blood. We cannot but see this reality as sorrowful. Today nearly twenty years from that time, we see that Korea is on the world level and again standing in the position of having to represent a sorrowful destiny. From this we see why Korea had to be driven to this kind of fate. Hence, when we look into the history of restoration through indemnity, we can know the reality that God has been pursuing world historical and heavenly responsibility through Korea.

Korea is bordered to the west by Red China and to the North by the Soviet Union. To the east and south we have Japan who, together with Red China, has complicated the direction of Asia. As you all know, the problem with the Vietnamese president's course of action was discussed not by his own will but rather at a national government arena after a bargaining offering was presented.

When we see this reality, we realize we cannot simply conclude that this fate should not have happened to our Korea. Under these circumstances, the more we think about how Korea will be hereafter, the more the position Korean stands in can only be seen as one of sorrow. Hence, we have to realize that Korea's present situation cannot be distinguished through the strength of the people alone.

In other words, Korea is faced with choosing a path on which the people will survive. With the Korean people's strength alone this would be an impossible situation. We know well that we have no requisite for hope to break through the scars and regrettable environment into an independent sovereignty.

When we see the history of restoration through indemnity, in this position the one hope these people can live with is that there is no other path other than that of offering the people up to Heaven. We can draw this conclusion from the Principle.
