1.Responsibilities of Political Leaders for Unification

In any given time, people who can decide the destiny of a nation are few. When a nation is in crisis, the way to resolve the problem is many times started by one person. The nation can survive, not by the collaborated decision of many people, but by one specific person's opinion. However, if the nation doesnOt follow this one person's opinion, this nation may be left behind in history. We know this through established history.

In this light where is the nation of Korea going? It's a big problem. If God does exist, will he forsake Korea? If he will forsake Korea, there will be nothing to discuss, but if He won't there is a Will of God for this country. We have to think about everything in this light. The world is watching Korea. (63-272)

What should the President do for the nation? He shouldnOt ignore the opinion of other parties even though he became President by the endorsement of only one party. He should be able to apply the opinions of all the parties for the sake of the government. Also, he should gain support from all of the parties to deal with the unification of South and North. That is the President's mission and responsibility.

What should be the focus of policy for the next President? I think that he should focus on unification, the people's very hope. We shouldnOt forget that North Korea has been focused to Communize South Korea for over 40 years. Kim Il Sung has been creating an enormous organization centered on world-wide Communism. He has provided education for them and has prepared arms to wait for a chance. In comparison to this, there have been no leaders here trying to prepare for the unification of the South and North. From now on, we have to unite all people for the unification and focus national power for unification. For this, we have to create a way for all parties to participate. We have to create a criterion that can unite the people of this nation. For the government to unite the nation, there will be many obstacles. (Jan. 1, 1988)

In Korean history, the person who realizes the reunification will be recorded as the greatest person in history and his name will remain for thousands of generations. It will be the greatest work for a President to realize the re-unification. Also, we have support him to accomplish this work in our lifetime. The President who can liberate North Korea will be a great President and he will be able to survive with his people.

The reason to support the government in spite of any persecution from the people is for the liberation of North Korea and the unification of South Korea. No matter who the President is, no matter what the ruling party is, we will support them to accomplish this work. (May 1, 1988)

If a person becomes President, instead of seeking a higher position, he should seek his people. He should live for his people. (61-235)

The president of South Korea should have the attitude to sacrifice for the sake of the liberation of North Korea. Otherwise, this nation will not receive a blessing from Heaven.

When the unification of South and North becomes very real, they will confront a serious ideological conflict. We have to prepare for that time. All of the people should be armed completely with an ideology. Also, a leader who can lead the unification should emerge in South Korea. This person should be able to prepare to receive Heavenly fortune. Also, Japan and America should have many people who can inherit the Heavenly fortune.

Father has been preparing for the world. If you canOt prepare for your nation, you will be despised forever. (Oct. 21, 1986)
