Claim. The unique providential strategy that distinguishes God’s side from Satan’s is the imperative “Love your enemy” — and the homeland’s restoration depends on the believer setting that condition concretely.

Elaboration. SMM grounds the strategy in Jesus’ teaching: “Should God have the thought of taking revenge, thinking of Satan as the opponent and an enemy, then He will never be able to occupy the summit of victory. Rather, God has opened up the strategy of love, saying, ‘Love your enemies. Love your enemies!’ The summation of Jesus’ teachings is also, ‘Love your enemies’” (CSG 13.4 §1, The Way of Unification -595, 1983.4.3). The condition is binding even at global scale: “You must set the condition of having loved your enemies even if the world persecutes you and even if you stand facing a global enemy … The teaching, ‘Love your enemy,’ is the great truth. Although the content is simple, no one has known that this would become the dividing line between God and Satan” (ibid). The strategy operationalizes true-love as the only weapon that can defeat the satanic world without becoming it — directly informing both the tong-ban breakthrough method (giving gifts to opposing neighbors) and the proposal that South Korea reunify with the North by transferring property rather than waging war.
