1.The Time for a General Election in South and North Korea will Come

What kind of issues does Korea have to deal with from now on? The Presidential election and elections for senators both can be issues to deal with but they are not important issues. There is a more important issue. In this year's UN General Assembly they selected the Korean issue as a subject and discussed the general election with South and North Korea under their surveillance. Until now North Korea has refused that. However, when they have assurance that they will accomplish their plan and goal after reinforcing underground organizations in South Korea, I am sure that they will say, OLet's have the election." Then, how can we deal with this? What the Unification Church has to worry about is how to deal with this. For that reason, it is more critical to promote a national movement to prepare for the general election with South and North Korea than the coming Presidential election. (16-68)

I believe that Kim Il Sung will assert the general election with a peace offensive ahead after this 1988 Olympics. (Jan. 21, 1986)

Look. The time for the general election with South and North Korea will come soon. It is wanted by China, by Japan, by the US and by Soviet Russia. (165-188)

The political regime of North Korea retreated to the corner of the Communist bloc when there was the Olympic participation of the USSR, China and the satellite countries. It is exactly God's providence. In Kim Il-Sun's generation, they have never retreated this much. The political situation is even more difficult than the time of the defeat in the June 25 incident in Korea. Being kicked out by the USSR, by China and by the satellite countries and being pushed into the corner by the world media, they are in such a miserable position. Therefore, they might commit provoking acts since they are in bad shape.

They might try recklessly to Communize South Korea before the Olympics are over. My present strategy is to disconnect them even from Communist parties. Therefore, we must know that a dangerous time is coming up to us now. If Kim Il Sung doesnOt commit any provoking acts and he thinks it will be difficult to accomplish, he will suggest the general election.

How will Kim Il Sung feel when China, the USSR and the satellite countries visit Korea for the Olympics and the election goes well in South Korea? He'll say, OLet's tear down our border and have the general election under the supervision of USSR and China." The US and Japan will support them more than anyone, because they will be able to sell their products for double value if it happens.

When the time of God's providence comes to completion, North Korean Communists will have no way but to be absorbed. You have to know that we will confront such a critical situation immediately. We have to hurry to prepare for the time. If we don't prepare, South Korea can be destroyed. I knew the time would come and I have been preparing for 10 years for that. You must know these facts clearly. (Jan. 2, 1988)

In light of international political moves, how should South Korea unite South and North Korea? I see that it will be done by a general election. China wants it, the US wants it, Japan wants it and even the USSR wants it. For them to be able to come to the 1988 Olympics, they don't want any unnecessary incidents. We have to be serious about preparing for that. Do you understand? (Yes.) We should be able to do that since we know the time, shouldnOt we? (165-130)

When we consider Kim Il-Sun's nature, he will think, OForget it. Neither China not the USSR is reliable. We should make a surprise attack on South Korea and conquer it." If he canOt make an attack, he will urge the general election. If he suggests the general election, the USSR will like the idea, China will like it, and the US and Japan will also like it . There is no way to avoid the flow. Therefore, what is important this year is to create the unification of South and North Korea. (Jan. 3, 1988)

Now, people fronting for Kim Il Sung are ready to turn around to get out of here over the 38th Parallel. People in the South are tired of watching political parties fight and they want to turn around to get out of there. Where can they go? They should go to North Korea. People in the North put their backs toward the South and are trying to walk backwards, and people in the South are trying to walk backwards to go to the North. What if both of them start the unification movement together on the 38th parallel instead of fighting, when they meet there? Things are moving toward that direction.

When we consider all of them, it is very likely that Kim Il Sung will urge a general election. What can we do then? If South Korea says, OLet's have it in 3 months,." they will say, "It's fine,." in the beginning. But later, they will try to control the situation, suggesting to have it in 2 months, 1 month and 20 days. The compromise term will be 40 days. It will be less than 2 months. They will say that we should have the general election in 40 days. Then, 20 million in North Korea will all be Kim Il Sung 's number one batters. How about the people in South? We will see many fellows who are in the gray area. At that time, we will be needed. We will be needed at that time. (166-125)
