Is World Peace possible?
Did God create the world with the idea of unity?
If the earth was not derived from a unified source, then it will never be possible to be unified. The good news is if it was created from a unified source, then all individuals, families, tribes and nations will be able to be unified.
We find that this world is not unified, that nations are not unified, and tribes and families are not unified. And even this world is divided into two worlds. Even within each nation, there are different polarities, families experience division among members, and the individual mind and body are divided within.
We cannot deny this division.
If this world began from a perfect entity, then why is the world divided?
It is most important to investigate the cause of the division throughout the world on the individual, family, national and world levels.
If God is an absolute god then why does such a divide exist?
We have to conclude that God is not the source of such division in the world. Then what is the cause? We must know that the cause of evil was not derived from a good source, then it must be evil.
The Mission of Religion
The mission of religion is to destroy all of the problems caused by evil to bring about a unified world. The most important thing is to find the root of the cause of these conflicts.
By finding the evil cause in ourselves we can solve all the problems.
The most important thing is to find one person whose mind and body is not struggling with each other and is fully centered and become one with God. Their every action in unity with God. Have you known anyone who has completely made his mind and body one with his every action centered on God?
If that thought makes you laugh, then this means that no one has been able to attain this state of being beside the Messiah.
Then the most important thing is to find the self which is not divided and does not struggle with evil. If God exists, we must know that He will show us the way to restore us to our original godly state. This is the purpose of religious discipline.
A person who is determined to follow God's will, will be taught strong lessons on how to become an ideal individual.
God is on the search for individuals who cannot be destroyed by anyone or anything in this world, no matter how difficult the situation is. God's champion cannot be beat by anything and can be eternally unified with God. Throughout the course of history, God seeks such a man.
God's providence was designed to take out such a man among the evil society. Even though God searches for such a high-quality person, man lives among his family, he lives in the material world and in his nation.
In order for God to restore His nation, His family, His individuals and the material world, He does not in the literal sense take these things back.
Even though God is Almighty, He needs a condition if He is to take things back from the evil environment. Evil that possess what God wants to restore will try to retain all of these things, therefore, the ways of good and evil must not be equal; they must be different.
If evil goes this way, then God must go the other way.
If one goes to the right, then the other must go to the left. All people wish for a unified world of peace, but this is not obtained simply.
Evil wants to go ahead and good wants to go backward. You as one walking on the path of God's will stands in the central position in the struggle between good and evil.
Which do you think is most serious: the fall of a nation or the fall of one individual. For man, the worst would be for him to perish. We all have a slight tendency to not sacrifice ourselves for other people.
We all have the mind to center everything on ourselves and not God.
If we continue this way, then world peace will never be realized. We must first surpass the obstacles in our mind which try to stand in our way of the path toward God in order to reach the world which our mind wants and desires.
How Will World Peace Happen?
Will we be able to bring about a world of peace through fighting other nations? Is this the true way to a peaceful happy world? A peaceful world will not come about through the control of others.
Since God knows this, He goes the opposite way of evil. God is the first to lead the path toward world peace. If we go this way, the leader is God, if we go the other way, the leader is Satan. If God was to go in the same direction, He would destroy all the people who are one with Satan. Since God wants to save every last child, He goes backwards.
This explains the mysterious ways God asks His prophet to set a condition for Him. For instance, Noah was asked to place a boat on a mountain away from the ocean. What seems to not make since outside His providence is a way for God to get only the most faithful to follow His path.
Evil does not come from other-centered motives, it comes from self interest.
There are two kinds of people.
Evil also wants to make the world one, but through beating other people. God does not and goes the opposite way. Evil let man fall and made man deny that God existed. Adam and Eve thus brought about destruction through uniting with Satan.
The fall began when Satan left the path of the servant and planned everything for his own self. This initiated evil desire far from God's will. So through the history of fallen man, he has tried to sacrifice others for its own interest.
When you look at the history of nations and wars, you will see that there has always been a struggle between where the stronger always sacrifices the weaker. This struggle spread from the individual, family, to the nation and in these Last Days to the world.
Now history is at the stage when the two, worlds, which tried to overcome by sacrificing the other are tired.
The Democratic and Communist worlds want to dominate the world, but both have given up.
These two worlds cannot unify the world. All people of every nation want to enjoy a peaceful, happy world, but there has not been a way to bring an ideal world.
There are two ways to surpass the obstacles of the past: jump or go around it. If a nation places its own interest first, then it cannot jump over the obstacle.
We can achieve the ideal world with the thought that for the interest of the, whole world, we are willing to sacrifice our own nation.
The Communist world centered around its nation and struggle against the Democratic world could not fulfill her role because she, too, thought of her own interests more than those of other nations.
God blessed America to share its blessing, but instead, it turned toward the nation's own self-interest.
During the Cold War, if Russia had supported the world then Russia and the Communist world would be united. On the same token, if the U.S. sacrificed herself to share the prosperity of the Democratic world, then she would not have declined.
Just taking a look through history, we see that unless we find those who want to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the whole world, then the ideal world will never be reached. Is there such a nation in the world willing to sacrifice itself for the world?
Instead, the Democratic and Communist worlds are willing to throw away the whole world just to save and uplift themselves.
When we find such a nation that is willing to sacrifice her country and her people for the establishment of the ideal world, there is hope that we will see the glory of one ideal world.
A sacrificial nation does not exist for her own benefit, but for the interests of the whole world.
God went a different course from these worlds. God's number priority is to find someone who is completely one with Him and cannot be broken away from Him. He must go to the position where he can unify the world. God has been teaching the religious people two teachings: to love God and to sacrifice oneself for the world.
The one who can unify the world must sacrifice himself for the whole world. Since man is in the evil position due to the fall, he cannot go straight to God, therefore, he must turn around and go back toward the original direction.
The opposite direction from the evil world which religion teaches is to leave the fallen world, his family his material wealth and even his fallen self. This is how to love God and return to the original position which He seeks.
When man really loves God, then He must love him. Then as man receives the love of God, he must sacrifice himself for the world. This is the most important; this is the core of God's providence.
