Chart 12

Thus, he comes in the east in order to save the world's people, and he meets these objective qualifications.

He comes as an eldest son of God, carrying the commandment of God, to implement God's plan in this world. He comes to choose good people and make them God's own people, with whom to build the millennial kingdom on the earth.

The Korean prophecies foresee the advent of the Messiah in concrete ways as listed above.

2. The Country of the Messiah As Viewed In The Bible

Revelation 7:2-4 reads, "And I saw another angel ascending from the east (RSV: from the rising of the sun), having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea. Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel." (KJV)

Which country is this country of the east? The east here refers either to Korea, Japan or China. China, however, remains as of today a materialistic country that denies the Creator and religion, so it is clearly not indicated.

Japan is described as follows according to Isaiah 41:1-4: "Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? . . . Who bath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he." (KJV)

From the above passage, it is shown clearly through the saying "keep silence before me, O islands," that Japan is also not the place where the sun rises.

Let us examine the origin of the word Chosun [English Ed. Note: Chosun was the ancient name of Korea, a usage revived during the Yi dynasty.] The dictionary definition reads, "Chosun is a proper name of the country of Korea, meaning a country where the sun rises, a country of the morning."

Is it just a coincidence that I would deduce from the Bible that the country where the sun rises is Korea, and the dictionary also would designate the country where the sun rises to be Korea?

3. The Messiah As Described In A Western Book Of Prophecy

The book of the great French prophet Nostradamus, 10:75, reads,

No matter how long we wait there is no chance that he will come from Europe. It is Asia from whence he is to come. A great union will be born out of Hermes. He will surpass all the kings of the Orient. The country of the sun will maintain a great messianic law. A new leader of the spirit will come in the east.

Thus the Bible, which transcends time and place (whether east or west, ancient times or the present day), and other prophecies are unanimous in predicting that the Messiah is surely coming in Korea.

Chapter 5 - The Purpose Of the Messiah's Advent

Chapter 5 - The Purpose Of the Messiah's Advent

1. The Messiah Comes In A Time Of Great Transition

After a close study of prophecies, it appears that human history and all things of the universe are managed according to the dispensation of the Creator who is in Heaven. Let us now examine the history of the shifts in the earth's crust, as the earth is the very foundation of human life.

1. The Incan fortress where a boulder weighs over 100 tons.

2. Mysteries of the brilliant ancient Incan civilization, which was buried under the Andes mountains.

3. The life of extinct nomads on great fertile plains that are today's Sahara desert, estimated between 2000 bc and 6000 bc.

4. The castle walls of the city of Jericho of 9,000 years ago, the world's first city, now buried 17 meters underground.

5. The extinction of the Mayan culture on the magnificent Yucatan peninsula of Central America.

6. A mysterious stone construction called Nammatal that remains on Ponape Island in the South Pacific.

7. The mysteries of Mt. Everest, which once was at the bottom of the sea.

8. The fossils of clam, fish and other sea life found at the top of the Himalaya mountains.

9. The legendary continent of Atlantis.

10. Noah's great flood, which is surrounded by mysteries.

11. The underground deposits of coal now being found in the permafrost of Siberia and Alaska.

12. Discovery of the remains of a giant mammoth whose tusks are over three meters long, and of perfectly preserved frozen mammals and fossils, and of holes where literally tens of thousands of animal bones are found, in Siberia, the Alps, North America and the permafrost north of the Caucasus mountains. These all suggest that there were abrupt changes in the earth's crust. In fact, they serve as a perfect proof of it.

As we saw above, the earth has been undergoing multiple changes in its crust for vast expanses of time.

Furthermore, according to today's physics and geological and anthropological theories, glaciers also existed in what are now tropical zones at the equator, and shifts of the poles have taken place at least sixteen times in the last million years, and over one hundred times since the creation of the earth.

Where are those who achieved such brilliant civilizations and left them behind? Where are we heading in the 21st century?

Is there any assurance that the people of today, who have built this contemporary civilization, will not disappear forever with only traces remaining?

History repeats itself.

The earth will repeat the great shifts of its crust.

If that were to happen, who would survive?

Who would save us who are living today?

Only God, who is the Creator and who created the universe and all things and is in Heaven, knows the answer.

2. The Destiny Of Humankind and the Responsibility Of the People Of Korea and Japan

According to geologists, the earth undergoes a polar movement and resulting shifts in its crust. At this time there is no guarantee for the safety of human beings nor of animals.

Above all, the suffering human beings would endure is unimaginable.

To make it even worst, the existence of nuclear substances, which we boast of as the ultimate scientific accomplishment, is now presenting to us the specter of death, a vision of our own gravesites.

It is said that the amount of nuclear weaponry that is in storage is enough to destroy all human beings one hundred times over. The detonation of this nuclear stockpile by the percussive effect of earthquakes, volcanoes or other calamities is a horror even to imagine. What about the other chemical and biological weapons? Until now, we have been influenced by a plot engineered by evil spirits to dig our own graves. Do you think our Father, the Creator Himself who is in Heaven, will just observe this plot by evil spirits and watch men and women dying as a result of it?

The answer is an emphatic no.

Thus He has sent His eldest son to the earth as a savior.

His eldest son could not accomplish his works of salvation alone, so he wed the spouse whom God chose for him.

Thus giving birth to children and creating a family, they are destined to fulfill the mission of salvation inherited from the Parents above in Heaven. It has all been planned.

This is the point made by the Korean prophecies. It is the principle of yin and yang and the two Ki, the principle of all creation.

If they do not marry, there can be no child; and if there is no child, they themselves cannot be parents.

Then who is the woman whom Heavenly Father chose as the spouse of His eldest son?

The spouse of His eldest son is a universal being visible from the perspective of Heaven. On the other hand, she is a symbolic existence we cannot see from the human perspective. The spouse of the eldest son of God the Creator is His eldest daughter.

Who is the eldest daughter?

According to the principle of yin and yang throughout the universe, the eldest daughter is the island country of Japan, which is located southeast of Korea. (southeast of Korea; refer to Graph 1)

As was explained in Chapter 2, according to the yin-yang principle active throughout the universe, Korea is the eldest son and Japan is the eldest daughter. Therefore, Korea (the eldest son) and Japan (the eldest daughter) are the parents of humankind.

What is the responsibility of the parents? Certainly it is not to give birth to children and then discard them.

Parents are to love, feed, clothe, educate, protect and nurture the children. This salvation of children is the parents' responsibility. Korea and Japan must fulfill this responsibility as parents.

In his fourth book of prophecy, the third chapter, Nostradamus states that one of the alliances comes from the great Hermes, and a great messianic law is maintained in the nation of the sun.

Which nation is this nation of the sun? Without question it is Japan.

When Japan fulfills the responsibility of the mother embracing humankind with love and nurturing them, the heavenly law of the savior will be maintained and extended to all the nations of the world, containing the world's people as the children. Simply put, with this heavenly law, Japan can become the leading nation of the world.

Note: The heavenly law is the law of world peace. Japan will become part of an alliance with the Messiah, and as the mother nation according to the law of world peace she will become the nation leading the way to world peace. Upon the fulfillment of this responsibility, forgiveness can be granted for her past mistakes and salvation can be bestowed. The law of world peace means the Japanese peace constitution.

Nostradamus also indicates this in his prophecy that one member of the alliance will come from Hermes.

This means that in the event God's eldest son, who comes to the earth, fails to establish an alliance from Hermes, it will become difficult to bear the fruit of the work of salvation.

Then, what is Hermes?

Hermes, according to Greek mythology, is the god of commerce, trade and other economic activities. Then one member of the alliance must be Japan, which has risen to prominence as a great economic power. It is a nation with a strong merchant marine that has been successful in all aspects of commercial, trade and financial activities with the unlimited help and protection of God and the highest spiritual beings.

If the nation of the sun, Japan, fails to become a member of the alliance (depicted as husband and wife), the future of Japan cannot be predicted. Only by supporting the will of the eldest son of God and working together with him will Japan yield the result of supporting God's will. This is the duty of both Koreans and Japanese to God.

3. The Messiah Brings Peace To the World Through Love

What is love? Many answers will arise. Conjugal love between man and woman, love between parents and children, love among siblings, love among friends-love is expressed through countless relationships. Yet the basic substance of love is respect. If you say you love someone whom you do not respect, you are being false and hypocritical. When you see a beggar and feel pity on him, it is a type of sympathy that branches out from love, one of many such branches of love, but it is not true love itself.

The beginning of true love is the love between parents and children. The heart of parents loving their children and the heart of children loving their parents: this is the origin of true love. This love is still a pure love. The love you give and give and yet want to give even more: this is the love between parents and children. In true love, it is impossible not to return greater love than the love that is received. Next in the order of love is the love between spouses and the love among siblings centering on blood relations. This is the love centering on the family.

This is also the inseparable, absolute love at the core of heavenly ethics. Yet here an utmost self-sacrifice becomes necessary. If there is a family absolutely united through love in blood relations, there is bound to be another family such as that elsewhere, and even many other such families. These families will respect each other. Such a group of families will constitute a society, nation and extend to the whole of humankind. This is how world peace is created. The peace of the world will have been achieved.

In this kind of society, all people are of one mind and heart.

The peace of the world will never be achieved without this true love, based upon true blood relations and family ethics. Here, there is no room for evil, hatred, jealousy, antagonism, etc.

This true love that expands and develops from blood relations and family love will lead the society, nation and all humanity into a peaceful world. The Korean secret messages prophesy that the savior who comes at the end of the world will establish this peaceful world, this paradise, in stages.

The Korean prophecies even express shock and amazement as to how the coming messiah is to know all this, not just know it but build it. Did he learn it after his birth, or was he born with foreknowledge?

The savior teaches that this philosophy of true love and true family ethics will extend to all societies, all nations and to all humankind.

Chapter 6 - Look For the Messiah

Chapter 6 - Look For the Messiah

Thus far we have examined closely, sentence by sentence, side by side with the original texts, that which prophecies both east and west foretell relating to the past and the present, and whether they are trustworthy. If the prophecies are all correct, the time of great transition is between four and thirty years away. One day during this period, humankind will face the most severe, last judgment.

Now the holy man, the eldest son of God the Creator, is situated in the center of Seoul, on the southern Korean peninsula of the eastern continent. He is directing the world with a God-given great mission, giving good men and women the blessing to become the heavenly humankind and establish the millennial kingdom. Its concrete time is either April of the year 2000-2001 (lunar calendar) or April of the year 2024-2025 (lunar calendar).

He surpasses in his concept the rulers of the ancient clan-based nations or current race-based nations. He is to extend the ideal of the principle of true love and true family, and as the king of all kings he will build ideal nations and world peace, step by step. He is managing everything spiritually as the king of all kings.

He is as an eldest son of God in Heaven, entrusted with the right to act for God. He came to actualize God's will on earth. The objective conditions of his mission were shown from examples in the original texts of prophecy juxtaposed under twelve points in Chapter 4.

Then do we have any additional subjective and realistic account in addition to what we have seen? Who is he prophesied to be? A description of this type is found in the 65th section of Soon Woun Ron in the original text of Kyuk-Am-Yu-Rok, as follows.

Chart 1

Chart 2

Two holy men appear. The first one is not the real one, but the one who comes the second time is the savior. When Heaven sends him to the earth secretively, his family name is Moon.

When the message gets to those unwanted ones, they will cause problems for the Messiah because no human beings want to be defeated. Thus, it becomes difficult for the Messiah to appear. These messages are meant for those who understand the principles of I Ching and can decipher them.

For this reason, heads and tails are hidden in all prophecies and the sequence of discourse is not orderly and consistent. It is designed to be understood by those who have wisdom. Do not disclose it to those who do not have wisdom. If they know, they will only create more troubles.

God's eldest son was sent from Heaven with his identity hidden and the messages about him hidden. Why were these hidden?

There was disclosed the clear reason why.

The Messiah. Then who is he? When heaven sent him down to earth in secret, his surname was Moon. Born north of the 38th parallel, going through the suffering of prison life, receiving ridicule and rejection and giving matchings and the blessing of marriage to those who believe in God.

Who is he? Is he not the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, whom all humankind is to attend as the True Parents?

All secret messages and prophecies are meant to testify to this very moment and to this hitherto hidden heavenly secret.

Oh, God! Oh, our protector! Thank you, we can only thank you!

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come; thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.
