Claim. The nation that will receive Christ at the Second Advent lies in the East — derived from 2’s “another angel ascend from the rising of the sun” carrying the seal of God for the 144,000 — and among the three traditionally-Eastern nations (Korea, Japan, China), only Korea qualifies: Japan as a fascist sun-goddess (Amaterasu) nation persecuted Korean Christianity, China became the hotbed of communism; both fell to Satan’s side, leaving Korea as the providential SA-locus.

Elaboration. Per 3.2. Christ Will Return to a Nation in the East: the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Christ) opens the seven seals in the Last Days; after six are opened, “another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God” seals the 144,000 elect (Rev 5:1–5 + 7:2–4). The seal is placed in the East. The nation which inherits God’s work and bears its fruit for the Second Advent is therefore Eastern; there Christ is born and received by the 144,000.

Per §3.3: “since ancient times, the nations in the East have traditionally been considered to be the three nations of Korea, Japan and China.” Each is evaluated against the criterion of being on God’s side at the time of the Second Advent:

Japan. “Throughout its history has worshipped the sun goddess, Amaterasu-omi-kami. Japan entered the period of the Second Advent as a fascist nation and severely persecuted Korean Christianity.” Falls to Satan’s side by religious-character (state Shinto) and political-character (fascism + Christianity-persecution).

China. “At the time of the Second Advent was a hotbed of communism and would become a communist nation.” Falls to Satan’s side by economic-ideological character (the same communism DP elsewhere identifies as the satanic counterfeit of the Kingdom — see dp-wwiii-as-completion-stage-ideological-or-armed-with-stalin-as-second-advent-antitype).

Korea. The remaining Eastern nation. Subsequent atomics elaborate positive qualifications — forty-year colonial indemnity, 38th-parallel front-line, object-partner character, prophetic tradition, civilization-culmination geography.

The Korea-as-SA-locus claim re-centers providence from Western Europe (central through the 1517–1918 preparation per Ch 5–6) to East Asia for the Second Advent itself — answering by displacement DP’s earlier Western-Europe-centric framing.
