In the past, when I witnessed the “sunbeam phenomenon”—where sunlight filtered through the clouds and spread majestically in all directions—I used to think of it simply as a visually stunning natural spectacle. There was a time when I simply took it for granted that, on a clear day, Songdo in Incheon could be seen with the naked eye from Lotte World Tower in Seoul. I also spent peaceful and happy times with my family at Haeundae Beach in Busan, teaching my children—just as their science textbooks explained—that the tides are caused by the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon as they rotate within the infinite galaxies of the universe.
However, I began to take a deeper look at the practical characteristics of the natural world—such as the unique angular phenomenon of sunlight from the Sun, which exists some 150 million kilometers away in outer space, piercing through the clouds to shine down, and the fact that while tidal phenomena clearly exist in the ocean, they are not distinctly observable in large rivers. As I began to observe nature based on the teachings of the Bible and intellectually explore common-sense questions, my perspective on the world changed completely. Rather than stopping at mere intuitive questions, I began to study multifaceted academic materials and historical records on my own. As I came face-to-face with the reality of the global governance forces that have been controlling and manipulating the vast systems of human society from behind the scenes, I also felt a deep sense of spiritual crisis. In particular, witnessing the rapid political upheavals and major shifts in the constitutional order that have unfolded in recent years, as well as the desperate cries of civil society leaders to safeguard the fairness of elections, I have come to clearly recognize the tangible threat posed by the globalist cartel, which exerts immense influence beyond the borders of sovereign nations.
Recently, while reading a book that delves into the secret history of clandestine societies with ancient cult-like religious roots, I found myself reflecting deeply. Their initiation rites, hidden behind a veil of mysticism and secrecy, were essentially nothing more than distortions of pagan worship that destroy the moral values prohibited by the Bible and defy the laws of nature. These distorted rituals were a deadly spiritual poison that paralyzed normal human reason and moral discernment, ultimately driving souls away from God the Creator. Realizing how easily a nation’s institutional foundations can crumble when those steeped in anti-Christian and anti-humanitarian ideologies seize central leadership roles in society, I have begun to closely scrutinize the underlying motives behind the reckless border-opening policies recently proposed or debated in some political circles, the trend toward coercive control under the pretext of public health security, and institutional amendments lacking a consensus on bioethics.
In fact, forces threatening the constitutional values of the Republic of Korea had already deeply infiltrated every corner of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, and even the core coordination processes of the national security system were being steered—in collusion with the invisible influence of external forces—in a direction that stifled the voices of law-abiding citizens. Amid a period of political upheaval unprecedented in the history of our constitutional democracy, as I witnessed a series of events in which the highest authority of the judiciary lost its bearings and issued rulings that seemed tailored to external guidelines, a deep sigh escaped me—as if God’s justice had vanished from this land. I had been fighting fiercely against the injustices of the times through my own practical methods of “archery and writing,” but the strength of a single individual seemed woefully inadequate to restore a Republic of Korea that was being shaken to its very roots. I even felt a sense of human frustration, wondering if we had reached this tragic juncture because the 3.5% of pure Christians—who should have served as the spiritual preservative for our society—were lacking.
However, as we have navigated the recent sudden constitutional decisions and the crisis that followed, I am witnessing the miracle of the souls of countless patriotic citizens—who had been dormant—finally awakening. God has caused the entire nation to face the reality that tangible spiritual and political dangers—aimed at stealing, killing, and destroying the Republic of Korea—lurk close to our daily lives. In response, countless Christians have taken to the streets to defend our sovereignty and prevent the collapse of our system, offering tearful prayers to rebuild the fallen walls. Amid this fierce spiritual battle, I have also experienced a spiritual transformation in which my relationships with those around me have been meticulously sorted out and reorganized in the truth. And the great truth I have finally come to realize is that God’s justice has never vanished for even a single moment, just as the sun and moon move unwaveringly across the heavens. Even though Satan, the father of lies, and his followers have blinded the spiritual eyes of countless people, turning them into the blind who walk in the light, when I fix my gaze solely on Jesus Christ—who came as the true light of the world—He opened my spiritual eyes completely, allowing me to behold the throne of heaven.
That is why, even today, I faithfully go to my place of early morning prayer, kneel earnestly for South Korea, my church community, and my precious family, and offer a heartfelt confession of deep gratitude, for the grace the Creator has poured out on my life thus far is far more than I deserve. I deeply meditated on Jesus’ words to His disciples—who were astonished by His parable that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven—when He declared, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” To obtain the authority of a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, there is only one way: to die completely to my sin and be born anew to righteousness. This is a sacred mystery accomplished solely through Jesus Christ, who was incarnated in a blameless and pure manner. I firmly resolve to spread this joyful news of the great Gospel—in which He chose the path of death Himself, shattered the power of death, and achieved the true victory of righteousness through His resurrection—more widely to the countless souls who do not yet know the truth. Carrying in my heart the mission of a watchman rebuilding the fallen altar, I begin this day with vigor.
