3. We must Overcome the 38th Parallel

The way the Unification Church is going today is also the same. We were born for God and for the world. We have to have this kind of heart. In other words, we must think, "I was born for sake of the world, to solve this crucial situation." We have to overcome the 38th parallel. We have to cross it, even if there is another, bigger 38th parallel. We have to think the problem is not the Korean people's problem of the 38th parallel. What will happen when we destroy it and have become one nation? There are more 38th parallels remaining; for instance, the boundaries between Korea and China and the Soviet Union.

Having a 38th parallel separating the North and the South is not a big case. This 38th parallel was centering on our people, but after that, there are more extreme and stronger boundaries we have to cross. In order to establish the foundation for a peace to solve our people's problems, we must also establish a stronger base to victoriously solve even bigger 38th parallels.

When we see from this point of view, Korea's 38th parallel is not a problem. If our Korea people can resolve our 38th parallel and become people who can defeat the worldwide 38th parallels of China and the Soviet Union, the Korean people can only become people who will place new sovereignty in the world and guide with new direction. Do you have the faith to do that?

From now on, the Unification Church will overcome the 38th parallel and become a peace-bearer of the world. We need to go straight forward, not round about.

What I prayed going over the 38th parallel is simple. OHeavenly Father, don't worry. IOll even unite North Korea." My prayer was very short. Even though I spent my lifetime putting it into action, it has not happened yet. But you must return to your hometown. Otherwise, God's Will cannot be accomplished.
