1)The Position of Japan as the Eve Country

The problem is not North Korea's Kim Il Sung, but Communist China and Japan. Japan is in a dangerous position that is similar to that of Eve at the time that she committed the Fall. That is why I did the reorganization of the regions in Japan myself. That is my strategy for establishing Japan within a certain restored realm.

If we can just get Japan, there will be no problem. Communist China is a country that is in a position similar to the Archangel. China possesses an ancient Asian civilization, and this is an archangelic civilization. After World War II, Japan received the sympathy of its former enemies, and was able to develop rapidly. It has reached the level that it prides itself as being the second richest country in the world. If you look at the internal aspect, Japan today is in the position of a bride who is trying to make herself look as attractive as possible. (30-243)

If we say that Japan is the Eve country, then Eve is attached to Adam. When a bride becomes a member of her husband's family, she cannot take with her all the rules and customs of her birth family. As a member of her husband's family, she must inherit the family atmosphere of the new family beginning with the day of her arrival. This is the nature of the Japanese people. That is why the Japanese are the best in the world when it comes to copying others. (laughter) When you consider this, even if you are in Japan you should not think that you are in Japan.

Your thinking should always be for the sake of Korea. Eve must always be thinking of her husband, even when she is visiting her parents' home. Otherwise, her husband will kick her out. She would become a wife who has been thrown out. You should keep that in mind, and become one in order to accomplish the goal. (40-134)

The time will come in Asia when Japan will have no choice except to stand in a leadership position. Because Eve committed the fall, the feminine-type country of Japan must take responsibility for this. In the last days, Japan will have to take responsibility within the context of our unified front. It will have to give its full effort. The situation will be so urgent that they will have to work in the position of giving everything they have. They will have to follow quickly. (28-242)

The time is coming when the world will have to clash centering on three countriesNthe Adam country, Eve country and Archangel country.

Then, where will be the center of this clash? The three men on Satan's side clashed with each other centering on Jesus; then, centered on what did Jesus come? His center was not the struggle with people who are on the side of Satan. Instead, he came to search for Eve. That's the way it has been. Do you understand? So, there is a clash of three people centering on Eve, that is, three archetypes on the side of Satan. Also, on the side of Heaven, three archetypes clash centering on one feminine country. In the context of the current world situation, this feminine country is Japan. Do you understand? It's Japan.

North Korea is also trying various tactics in order to place the Japan platform within its grasp. Communist China covets the Japanese platform. IsnOt that right? Also, the Soviet Union covets the Japanese platform.

Why did the world situation have to become this way? If you look at the Principle of the Unification Church, the reason is that there has had to be a historical apocalyptic period in which there is a final worldwide altar that brings the world into unity with God's Will. Yet... The Eve country. Japan is the Eve country. What happens to the Eve country? The three on the Satan's side will hang on to it. Why? It is because Eve is in the object position to the Messiah. Thus, Eve is in the position where she has to decide between the Messiah and Satan, that is, between life and death. She has to decide whose wife she is going to become.

So the Messiah and the Unification Church in South Korea are now preparing to take a wife. IsnOt that right? And America is also trying to support this. For a time, America was in control of Japan but now has let it go. This is so that Japan can go to its real husband. Do you understand? What is happening with Korea now? Until recently, Korea was within America's administrative realm N that is, within America's protective realmNbut now it is in a position where it must place its trust in Japan. This means that Korea must stand in the position where the husband and wife can meet. The time has come when Korea can break out of the Archangel's control, lay claim to its original authority, and begin to act like a husband. (60-180)

Normally, it would have been very difficult for Japan to recover from being a defeated nation in the Second World War. How, then, has Japan been able to develop so quickly during the past 20 years? It was because of the Korean War. It was a result of Japan's being linked to Korea. That is how it has now become a world-level power. If Japan, in the position of the Eve country, were to give aid to KoreaNif Japan were to aid Korea in a manner consistent with the course that Korea must take from hereNthen the restoration of North and South would come about in a natural way. (40-120)

Japan has been able to develop until now because it has inherited Korea's development and been blessed. What kind of blessing did it receive? It has been blessed in an external sense, not the internal. The meaning of external blessing is that it is a material blessing. That is why Japan has been able to accomplish a rapid development over the past 20 years such as has never been seen before in history. That is how Japan has become such a strong and wealthy country.

The Unification Church needs to influence Japan. If Koreans hear me say this, they may feel good about it. Japanese people, however, may react negatively. But there's nothing that can be done about that. No matter what the Japanese may say about this, it cannot be changed. You know the OgetaO that Japanese walk around in, don't you? Geta are worn by placing a strap between the big toe and the toe next to it. This signifies the division between the father and mother. (laughter) When the foot is taken out of the geta, then the two can come together. So, who is going to make them take off their geta? I am the only one who can do that.

There is a reason that Japan is the Eve country. Japanese names are generally composed of four Chinese characters, and women often have names that end in the Chinese character for boy, which is pronounced OkoO in Japanese. They don't have any names for women that end with the character for woman. Why do they use the character that signifies a male child in names for women? It's because women long to be with a man. (laughter) It's not something to laugh about. So, the Japanese use the Chinese character signifying male child in names for women. Probably about two thirds of all Japanese women have names that end with this character. That is what they long for. Also, many Japanese men have names that include the character Oro." The names are Osomething-ro." Really, a lot of them. That's because men are in the position of the Archangel, and are waiting in anticipation of the bridegroom. ArenOt men the Archangel type? That is a fact.

The Lord who comes as the bridegroom brings blessings from Heaven. He brings a blessing, but what kind of blessing is this? He brings heavenly fortune. He does not bring money. Those who are looking for a man who will bring them money will decline. You have to be hoping for a man who will bring heavenly fortune. Money already exists on the earth. IsnOt that right? Money already exists, so money is not what we need. We already have money to live on, so we want a man who is well-bred and distinguished. IsnOt that right? That is what Japan is seeking.

For this reason, Japan must accept the Unification Church. The Unification Church represents the holy bridegroom. Young Japanese women will be enthralled with the young Korean men of the Unification Church. I recently blessed three Korean-Japanese couples, because I need to connect Korea and Japan. A four-position foundation has to be formed centering on my family, so I blessed three couples with the meaning to have them stand in that place.

That is why Japan will decline unless it helps Korea. Wait and see. If Japan just hangs on to Korea and helps it, there will be nothing to worry about. It wonOt matter even if America decides not to help Japan. If that happens, then an economic foundation of a new level will begin to develop in a new direction. If Japan refuses to help Korea, it will only be slowly tightening the rope around its own feet. (38-120)
