Looking into the future

During the Japanese colonial era, the teacher was highly tortured. When you think about it, you are a person with a history of the past that may be pleased to see Japan fall. But the teacher is not. When Japan was defeated in World War II, the teacher summoned the Japanese policeman who tortured him and said, “If you are in Korea, run away because it is dangerous. “I packed my luggage and sent it to me.”

Until now, Japan was an enemy country, but in the future I thought that it would become a brother country according to God’s will. So realistically it viewed as wholly unforgiving can not Japan, to forgive thought. That when Japan is South Korea but persecution, in the future, Japan and South Korea with the God of the means by flesh would hope we had. Now the Japanese people have a life risking a teacher yearningly followed it behind the scenes such as the historical condition established came because.

If I go to Korea, I feel like the father of Korea. I have the experience of severe torture at the hands of imperial Japan. If I think about that, it is conceivable that I might hold a grudge against the nation of Japan. But I don’t think in that way. When Japan was defeated at the end of World War II, I contacted all of my former torturers one night and told them that they faced great danger if they remained in Korea. Then I helped put their luggage on their vehicle and sent them off. Although Japan had been an enemy country up until that time, I knew that it would become a brother in the future because of God’s will. So I determined to forgive Japan which was not the “reasonable” thing to do at that time, since Japan had persecuted Korea so terribly. But I knew so strongly that Japan would work for God’ s will together with Korea. Now thousands of Japanese members are following me at the risk of their life.
