  1. 0:14Yes, it's nice to meet you. Today,
  2. 0:16through this video lecture,
  3. 0:20we have learned about various other
  4. 0:23religions, which can truly be considered
  5. 0:25the mainstream among religious education
  6. 0:28in Christianity.
  7. 0:30This is a time to examine how certain
  8. 0:32religions and people's spiritual systems
  9. 0:34and cultures are formed in other regions
  10. 0:37, other cultures, and on other
  11. 0:39continents, and to look at the
  12. 0:41characteristics of the people in those
  13. 0:43regions, the differences from
  14. 0:45Christianity, and what its distinct
  15. 0:47qualities are.
  16. 0:49From that perspective, we will begin our
  17. 0:51lectures this week covering the Old and
  18. 0:54New Testaments, which are the essence of
  19. 0:56Christianity, and today we will study
  20. 0:58the contents of the Old Testament, which
  21. 1:00is said to be the foundation of
  22. 1:02Christianity.
  23. 1:04Well, I assume no one here is hearing
  24. 1:07about Christianity for the first time.
  25. 1:10There may be students who believe and
  26. 1:12some who do not, but it is a story that
  27. 1:14almost everyone has heard. Things like
  28. 1:16the cross, Jesus Christ, God,
  29. 1:21and Christianity, etc., but there are
  30. 1:23cases where one does not have deep
  31. 1:26knowledge or understanding regarding
  32. 1:28what it is composed of, why people
  33. 1:30believe in God, or whether these things
  34. 1:33actually happened historically.
  35. 1:36So first, the Bible consists of a total
  36. 1:40of 66 books.
  37. 1:42Of those, 39 are the Old Testament, from
  38. 1:46creation to Jesus Christ; BC (Before
  39. 1:49Christ) is before the common era, and AD
  40. 1:52is Anno Domini, the time since the Lord
  41. 1:56came, and as the history of humanity has
  42. 1:59been set from the point where historical
  43. 2:03records remain,
  44. 2:08these 39 books of the history of Israel
  45. 2:10, the events that appeared, and God's
  46. 2:17history, His commands, and how those who
  47. 2:20served God lived are what are shown in
  48. 2:22these 39 books.
  49. 2:25And the remaining 27 books are the story
  50. 2:27of the New Testament.
  51. 2:29Forgiveness and love begin with the
  52. 2:31coming of Jesus Christ. Now, let's have
  53. 2:34a lesson on how humans should live from
  54. 2:37this point forward.
  55. 2:41First, the scene of life is the concept
  56. 2:44of God accompanying humanity. This means
  57. 2:47the Old Testament begins mainly with the
  58. 2:50path that Israel walked.
  59. 2:53From the time of creation, they believed
  60. 2:56in God, were chosen, and through the
  61. 2:58footprints of the life they lived, at
  62. 3:01times they were blessed by obeying God's
  63. 3:04commandments and living kindly and
  64. 3:07strongly, or they broke God's
  65. 3:09commandments.
  66. 3:12The word "commandment" will be repeated
  67. 3:14often, and this is ultimately the story
  68. 3:16of justice that you all know.
  69. 3:18The story of righteousness and justice.
  70. 3:20When people do not keep this justice,
  71. 3:22they inevitably fall into corruption.
  72. 3:25When there is corruption, there will be
  73. 3:27victims, and sins will be committed.
  74. 3:29The moment sin occurs, various failures
  75. 3:32and difficulties arise due to the
  76. 3:35wrongdoing.
  77. 3:37Things like these, as well as world
  78. 3:39history, often use radioactive isotope
  79. 3:41dating and various historical evidence
  80. 3:43to suggest timelines like a million
  81. 3:45years or more; however, since this is
  82. 3:47Christian time, viewed from Christian
  83. 3:49history and the common era, we see the
  84. 3:51Old Testament as 4,000 years and the New
  85. 3:53Testament as 2,000 years, regarding the
  86. 3:56world as 6,000 years old so far.
  87. 3:59Examining that 4,000-year history is
  88. 4:02precisely what the Old Testament is. A
  89. 4:05providence.
  90. 4:06Now, when summarizing this, I think this
  91. 4:08expression was the best. Before humans
  92. 4:11were born, the earth and the universe
  93. 4:13were already created, and there was the
  94. 4:15providence of God within it.
  95. 4:18Then, what is this providence of God? It
  96. 4:20is the words of the Old Testament found
  97. 4:22in the Bible.
  98. 4:24And how did humans respond to that?
  99. 4:29There could be various responses. There
  100. 4:32could be a good resolution by those who
  101. 4:34hear this and decide to live righteously
  102. 4:35, or those who say, "I cannot live like
  103. 4:37that.""I prefer this." Or, although
  104. 4:40human free will is a good thing,
  105. 4:42everything including crimes, harm to
  106. 4:45others, or war, is in fact a choice. And
  107. 4:48this is why Korea and the present nation
  108. 4:51of Israel were chosen at the time of
  109. 4:53creation, and a nation that moves in
  110. 4:55this way still exists today.
  111. 4:58When you look at the wars between Iran
  112. 5:00and the U.S., or battles with Hezbollah
  113. 5:02and society, or the conflicts in the
  114. 5:04Middle East and Israel that still
  115. 5:06involve the Houthi rebels,
  116. 5:10When we speak of the Israel that exists
  117. 5:12today, the nation that appeared in the
  118. 5:14Bible is alive, and when we talk about
  119. 5:16the history they formed, that is the
  120. 5:18history of Israel, the Old Testament. I
  121. 5:21would like us to take some time to
  122. 5:23examine this Old Testament.
  123. 5:28Now, what is the Old Testament? It is a
  124. 5:30part of what I mentioned earlier.
  125. 5:34The first half of the 66 books, the
  126. 5:35beginning of the world.
  127. 5:38Now, there are various stories regarding
  128. 5:40creation.
  129. 5:41Christianity begins with creationism, a
  130. 5:44theistic view that God created the world
  131. 5:47.
  132. 5:48The divinity of all things is the very
  133. 5:50beginning of God.
  134. 5:52Because of films like the Greek
  135. 5:53mythology movie*Odyssey*, Greek
  136. 5:55mythology is being highlighted in
  137. 5:56various ways, but that is the concept of
  138. 5:58human gods.
  139. 5:59The concept of human gods, where humans
  140. 6:01ascended Mount Olympus and took the
  141. 6:03place of gods, is strong, but
  142. 6:04Christianity is different.
  143. 6:06It speaks of the God who existed
  144. 6:08originally, the God who begins from the
  145. 6:12beginning of the world. So, it talks
  146. 6:15about a world based on the theistic
  147. 6:17concept that He created it.
  148. 6:20Of course, there are atheistic claims of
  149. 6:22spontaneous generation and theories of
  150. 6:25evolution, but because evolutionary
  151. 6:27theory discusses the emergence of
  152. 6:29primitive life as a random occurrence,
  153. 6:31it presents a different perspective and
  154. 6:33narrative from the Christian belief that
  155. 6:36God created and ordained it.
  156. 6:40You have probably heard a lot about the
  157. 6:42theory of evolution, and for
  158. 6:44non-Christians, you have likely heard
  159. 6:46many atheistic perspectives; today,
  160. 6:48let's explore the history of
  161. 6:49Christianity, specifically the Old
  162. 6:51Testament, from a theistic viewpoint.
  163. 6:57It is a record of 4,000 years leading up
  164. 6:59to the birth of Jesus Christ.
  165. 7:02The core of the Old and New Testaments
  166. 7:07>> The word for "testament"
  167. 7:09is "covenant" or "promise."
  168. 7:14This is a promise that God made to
  169. 7:17humanity.
  170. 7:19To keep this, to observe it.
  171. 7:23We call it obedience. If you obey and
  172. 7:26keep it, humans will receive these
  173. 7:29blessings.
  174. 7:30Love your neighbor. Help the poor. Do
  175. 7:35not tolerate injustice.
  176. 7:37We heard about foreign idols when we
  177. 7:40studied Islam.
  178. 7:42Do not engage in foreign acts like
  179. 7:44gambling or human sacrifice, and other
  180. 7:47such bad things.
  181. 7:49He promised through commandments that if
  182. 7:53you keep this, I will be your God. When
  183. 7:57looking at human history, good deeds
  184. 7:59bring blessings and evil deeds bring
  185. 8:02punishment; this clear and instant
  186. 8:04concept of rewarding good and punishing
  187. 8:07evil forms the backbone of justice in
  188. 8:10the Old Testament. God is justice itself
  189. 8:14.
  190. 8:16Now, when you look at human history, in
  191. 8:18every era
  192. 8:20humans only truly feel the age they live
  193. 8:23in. You would agree with that. But if
  194. 8:25you examine history as a whole,
  195. 8:31even if you are not a Christian or come
  196. 8:33from a different cultural background,
  197. 8:36there is one common thread.
  198. 8:38What is it?
  199. 8:40Everyone loves what is good.
  200. 8:43They love the "good." In the Bible, this
  201. 8:45is expressed as goodness.
  202. 8:47Good things. Everyone draws near to them
  203. 8:50. And they bring good results. In the
  204. 8:52end, the conclusion is good.
  205. 8:55But sin
  206. 8:59eventually leads to failure.
  207. 9:03>> It means ruin.
  208. 9:05Look at human history; when Rome was
  209. 9:08strong, with its discipline, culture,
  210. 9:11and civil rights, it was powerful, but
  211. 9:14from the moment moral corruption, elite
  212. 9:17decadence, the exploitation of
  213. 9:19gladiators and slaves, and the abuse of
  214. 9:22humanity began, what happened later?
  215. 9:26Barbarians that no one expected came and
  216. 9:29swept them away. The Western Roman
  217. 9:31Empire fell, and the Eastern Roman
  218. 9:32Empire fell as well.
  219. 9:34Nazi Germany claimed it would be a
  220. 9:35thousand-year empire, but what thousand
  221. 9:37years?
  222. 9:38It started the Second World War in 1939
  223. 9:41and ended in 1945, collapsing in just 6
  224. 9:44years.
  225. 9:45The communist ideology that spoke of a
  226. 9:47human utopia—it spoke of utopia. Marxism
  227. 9:50promised a world where everyone lives
  228. 9:51well. But the collapse of the Soviet
  229. 9:54Union and Russia itself was due to
  230. 9:56poverty. It could never beat freedom and
  231. 9:59the market economy. The North Korea we
  232. 10:02see today is the same. And what about
  233. 10:04the contents of the Japanese colonial
  234. 10:06era that we encounter in modern history
  235. 10:09?
  236. 10:10What was it?
  237. 10:13They sowed everything they could to rule
  238. 10:15for 250 years. It is a truly terrifying
  239. 10:17story. During the late Joseon era, they
  240. 10:19amassed tremendous capital. They
  241. 10:21believed that by building a nation, they
  242. 10:23would thrive for 450 years.
  243. 10:25In just 36 years, they were hit by an
  244. 10:27atomic bomb and it ended. What is this?
  245. 10:29Divine retribution. Human history
  246. 10:32teaches us that evil, no matter how much
  247. 10:35it thrives in the moment, always comes
  248. 10:37to an end. That is why we say that doing
  249. 10:41good is beneficial. We say that doing
  250. 10:43bad brings heavenly punishment. The
  251. 10:45reason even non-Christians keep
  252. 10:47mentioning God's providence and heavenly
  253. 10:50punishment is that they feel such things
  254. 10:53have existed as a matter of probability
  255. 10:55.
  256. 10:57That is a world governed by divine
  257. 10:59providence.
  258. 11:01No matter how powerful a ruler is, they
  259. 11:03eventually die.
  260. 11:04Then their country collapses, and even
  261. 11:06Stalin, whom Russia boasted of, was
  262. 11:08disgraced by a de-Stalinization movement
  263. 11:10after his death.
  264. 11:12Even though Mao Zedong was an
  265. 11:13unparalleled leader when he ruled China
  266. 11:15, after his death, a movement to
  267. 11:17denounce him arose, and China shifted
  268. 11:19its direction from pure communism to
  269. 11:21modified capitalism.
  270. 11:22Likewise,
  271. 11:25the world has elements of moral
  272. 11:28retribution. This is the very concept of
  273. 11:30the Old Testament.
  274. 11:33Now, there are three questions in the
  275. 11:34Old Testament. If you look at the
  276. 11:36structure of the Old Testament—even for
  277. 11:39non-Christians, if you examine the six
  278. 11:42types of books well...
  279. 11:47The first is
  280. 11:51>> about creation. Looking at the 39 books
  281. 11:54, who is the one who created everything
  282. 11:57in the beginning?
  283. 11:59Once you know who it is, whose commands
  284. 12:02must humans follow?
  285. 12:04And we are led to ask fundamental
  286. 12:06questions about how humans should live
  287. 12:07their lives. When we look at the second
  288. 12:09point,
  289. 12:11by whose law should humans, the created
  290. 12:17beings, live? The special commandment
  291. 12:22God gave to Israel is the law of
  292. 12:25holiness. What is the law? It is an
  293. 12:27agreement.
  294. 12:30It is a command for justice to live
  295. 12:32according to God's providence. If you
  296. 12:34keep this, you will rise.
  297. 12:38It means you will become great.
  298. 12:41You will become great. If you live with
  299. 12:43honesty, fairness, and righteous faith,
  300. 12:46I will help you.
  301. 12:47That nation and empire will prosper, but
  302. 12:50if you fail to keep the love, justice,
  303. 12:52and righteousness mentioned in the law,
  304. 12:55you will fail.
  305. 12:57That is why nations rise and fall; even
  306. 13:00in the Old Testament, beyond the 430
  307. 13:03years of Israel's slavery in Egypt, they
  308. 13:06were taken captive to Babylon,
  309. 13:08present-day Iraq, for 70 years before
  310. 13:11returning.
  311. 13:13And after Jesus Christ passed away,
  312. 13:15following the cross, they wandered
  313. 13:17without a nation for 2,000 years. What
  314. 13:20is this?
  315. 13:21It is retribution for their evil and
  316. 13:23their crimes.
  317. 13:24This is the Law, what the Bible calls
  318. 13:27Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and so on.
  319. 13:30Most of it covers the laws and how they
  320. 13:33appear, followed by the people who were
  321. 13:36taken captive and spent 70 years in
  322. 13:39exile, though they also had better times
  323. 13:42when they followed the commands well.
  324. 13:47There are accounts of times when there
  325. 13:49was a great king who kept God's
  326. 13:50commandments well, leading the nation to
  327. 13:52prosper.
  328. 13:53Conversely, knowing how they were ruined
  329. 13:56when an evil king disobeyed and
  330. 13:58committed crimes is what the Prophetic
  331. 14:01Books—Joshua, Judges, 1st and 2nd Samuel
  332. 14:04, etc.—are about; they offer hope on how
  333. 14:07to live even after losing one's country
  334. 14:10. So, even if the country is taken, it
  335. 14:11becomes a reality. When they were
  336. 14:13dragged away for committing sins, the
  337. 14:14hope was that God's chosen people would
  338. 14:16return someday. Instilling this kind of
  339. 14:17hope is exactly what the Prophetic Books
  340. 14:19do. But there is one important condition
  341. 14:21here. What is it? To repent and live
  342. 14:25righteously and justly again.
  343. 14:28Then God's grace will pull you out to
  344. 14:30recover the nation and be blessed,
  345. 14:33leading to the history of Israel
  346. 14:35repenting and returning.
  347. 14:38From creation to the era of the Law, if
  348. 14:40He had just abandoned them when they
  349. 14:43sinned, there would have been no need
  350. 14:45for the Prophetic Books.
  351. 14:48Making them repent and recovering what
  352. 14:50is theirs is the very concept of the Old
  353. 14:52Testament. So, looking at it this way,
  354. 14:56God's love and judgment, and the
  355. 14:59providence of the Creator who made the
  356. 15:02world, is to live justly, keep what has
  357. 15:05been given, and love one another among
  358. 15:08neighbors. The result was good. Then,
  359. 15:11what is the historical perspective?
  360. 15:13It is the history of the Israelites
  361. 15:14walking for thousands of years.
  362. 15:16When they faithfully fulfilled this, the
  363. 15:20nation grew.
  364. 15:23Conversely, when they did not, the
  365. 15:25nation perished.
  366. 15:28These things are the very message.
  367. 15:31Then, if the history of Israel, which
  368. 15:34began in Genesis saying God created the
  369. 15:36world, is used as a sample or role model
  370. 15:39, what is human life?
  371. 15:42Since evil, crime, and living as one
  372. 15:45pleases ultimately lead to destruction,
  373. 15:47look at Israel and do not live like that
  374. 15:50, but keep what is right and just; what
  375. 15:53is it called in terms of divine
  376. 15:55qualities?
  377. 15:56It is called divine protection, or
  378. 15:58guidance.
  379. 16:01You will receive divine protection and
  380. 16:03be blessed. And the final message of the
  381. 16:06Old Testament is, "How should I live?"
  382. 16:10God's will for them is this: to make
  383. 16:12humans free and blessed. And since
  384. 16:15Israel went through such trials and
  385. 16:18errors, learning these lessons is the
  386. 16:21essence of understanding the beginning
  387. 16:24of Christianity. So, how should I live?
  388. 16:28These will be the three questions for
  389. 16:29viewing the Old Testament.
  390. 16:34Now, let's call it God's design. There
  391. 16:36is nothing on this earth that is not
  392. 16:38designed.
  393. 16:41Even a rib, if it didn't protect the
  394. 16:43diaphragm, the most important human
  395. 16:45organs could not be shielded.
  396. 16:48When a person stands at attention, all
  397. 16:50the parts tucked inward between the arms
  398. 16:52and legs are, in fact, the vital points
  399. 16:54and important human organs.
  400. 16:56Now, when you look at the recent riots
  401. 16:58in France, what was the starting point
  402. 17:00of the riots?
  403. 17:03In high schools,
  404. 17:06air conditioning doesn't work. Why?
  405. 17:09Prices have skyrocketed. There is a lack
  406. 17:11of electricity. What was this exactly?
  407. 17:15A heat wave.
  408. 17:18It’s getting hotter, so it's no longer
  409. 17:20the Mediterranean climate it used to be
  410. 17:22.
  411. 17:23If the Earth's oxygen saturation were
  412. 17:25slightly higher, if the sea level rose
  413. 17:28by just one meter, or if human body
  414. 17:31temperature rose by just a few degrees,
  415. 17:33people would fall into unbearable panic
  416. 17:36.
  417. 17:37That means something is holding it all
  418. 17:38together.
  419. 17:40And when you look at human organs,
  420. 17:42animal organs, their uses, heart rates,
  421. 17:45and lifetime energy, it suggests this
  422. 17:47didn't happen by coincidence.
  423. 17:50People talk about survival of the
  424. 17:51fittest, but if they were designed from
  425. 17:53the start to endure such lifespans,
  426. 17:57there must clearly be a providence. The
  427. 17:59Bible of Christianity speaks to this.
  428. 18:02Since God is perfect, His design for
  429. 18:06animals, humans,
  430. 18:11and nature is perfect.
  431. 18:14In reality, humans caused pollution out
  432. 18:17of greed, developed land
  433. 18:18indiscriminately, and killed people; if
  434. 18:21we had lived according to the laws of
  435. 18:23nature, the Earth would be a livable
  436. 18:26place.
  437. 18:28God created the world, and if the
  438. 18:30distance between the moon and the Earth
  439. 18:32were even slightly closer, the
  440. 18:34gravitational pull would cause tsunamis
  441. 18:36and chaos on Earth.
  442. 18:38If it were too far, they say the Earth's
  443. 18:41gravity would be weaker. So, things
  444. 18:44would just float away. All these
  445. 18:46distances in the solar system, including
  446. 18:48the distance to the moon—to those with
  447. 18:51theistic faith, it looks like divine
  448. 18:53providence, but to others, it's just
  449. 18:56pure, pure, pure coincidence.
  450. 18:59However, it is actually not an easy
  451. 19:01conclusion to reach that repeated
  452. 19:02coincidences produce such accurate and
  453. 19:05precise results.
  454. 19:10His guidance, justice, and constant love
  455. 19:14and intervention for the created world
  456. 19:17are, in fact, commands. Live like this
  457. 19:20and preserve it. He is giving us a
  458. 19:22manual. Do not engage in reckless
  459. 19:24development; manage and cherish it well
  460. 19:25. Do not wage war or kill one another.
  461. 19:29This shows the world moves not by chance
  462. 19:31, but according to a plan—a world that
  463. 19:34is unified rather than unique.
  464. 19:38We talk about world peace and
  465. 19:41cooperation, but if humans were truly
  466. 19:44capable of pursuing peace, we wouldn't
  467. 19:47need intelligence agencies like the CIA
  468. 19:51in every country to deal with wars and
  469. 19:54political schemes.
  470. 19:58And in trade wars, saying "You take more
  471. 20:01,""I will take less"—humans aren't like
  472. 20:04that.
  473. 20:06When there is such a plan, or divine
  474. 20:09intervention—that is, the commands we
  475. 20:12call laws, justice, fairness, and help
  476. 20:16for the weak—the world, rather,
  477. 20:21becomes a foundation that can function
  478. 20:22in its entirety. This is the rhythm of
  479. 20:25creation.
  480. 20:29Let's look at the chronological
  481. 20:30structure of the Old Testament in terms
  482. 20:32of four major events. As a pastor, I
  483. 20:34read it constantly, and even after a
  484. 20:37lifetime of reading, it feels new every
  485. 20:40time. That’s how vast it is.
  486. 20:43You could spend your entire life
  487. 20:44studying it for a doctorate and still
  488. 20:46have much to learn. So, if we look at it
  489. 20:48through four main points, the Creation
  490. 20:50shows that God created the world and
  491. 20:52humans live under divine providence.
  492. 20:55Therefore, we should cherish it, fear
  493. 20:58God, be grateful for all things, and
  494. 21:01manage them well.
  495. 21:03These are the stories found in Genesis.
  496. 21:06And what happens if humans commit
  497. 21:08injustice and sin, and specifically fail
  498. 21:11to manage the nature given to them? A
  499. 21:14sample has already been shown. Noah’s
  500. 21:17flood.
  501. 21:18A global flood occurred that wiped out
  502. 21:22all animals and plants on Earth; since
  503. 21:25everything was washed away by water, we
  504. 21:29estimate it happened about 5,000 years
  505. 21:32ago.
  506. 21:36Even in ancient Babylonian or Chinese
  507. 21:38records, you can find accounts of a
  508. 21:40judgment by water.
  509. 21:42Looking at it this way, the fact that
  510. 21:44there was a water judgment in human
  511. 21:46history serves as a warning that such
  512. 21:48divine wrath could happen anytime,
  513. 21:50reminding us to manage things well.
  514. 21:54The third major theme is:
  515. 22:00Then, is everyone destroyed? No, that’s
  516. 22:02not the case. Among them, there is God’s
  517. 22:06choice and guidance.
  518. 22:10Simply put, it’s about the fair laws He
  519. 22:13gave, and
  520. 22:17keeping His commands well,
  521. 22:21the life of Abraham, who became a model
  522. 22:24for others.
  523. 22:26While others ignored God’s commands,
  524. 22:28committed sins, and perished, a man
  525. 22:31named Abraham—Abraham wasn’t actually
  526. 22:34from the region we now call Palestine.
  527. 22:38He lived in a place called Ur of the
  528. 22:39Chaldeans, which is in modern-day Iraq.
  529. 22:40Of course, there were no borders back
  530. 22:42then, but he was a person from the Iraqi
  531. 22:43region.
  532. 22:44This means that anyone who faithfully
  533. 22:47follows God's commands and lives
  534. 22:49righteously will be blessed.
  535. 22:51Abraham is the prime example of this.
  536. 22:53This Abraham is regarded by Judaism,
  537. 22:56Islam, and Christianity alike as the
  538. 22:59ultimate example of faith.
  539. 23:04And one more thing to look at is the
  540. 23:07Exodus from Egypt.
  541. 23:10It is prophesied 430 years after Abraham
  542. 23:13. God told Abraham that his descendants
  543. 23:17would multiply greatly in Egypt, and
  544. 23:20even Abraham was amazed by this promise
  545. 23:23. His faith was tested, but He said they
  546. 23:26would eventually come out of Egypt.
  547. 23:28Although they would live as slaves,
  548. 23:32Egypt, located along the Nile, is in
  549. 23:37Africa. Israel is in Asia.
  550. 23:40They faced a great famine, which led
  551. 23:43them to migrate.
  552. 23:45They settled in Egypt, and by the time
  553. 23:49of his grandson Jacob and then Joseph,
  554. 23:53they enjoyed great wealth through God's
  555. 23:58grace and put down roots there.
  556. 24:02Then, 400 years later, they were brought
  557. 24:05out of Egypt. Then a king who did not
  558. 24:07know the God of Israel arose and
  559. 24:10enslaved them. Therefore, God's
  560. 24:12intervention occurs when there is
  561. 24:15hardship. When you were slaves,
  562. 24:19The one who pulled you out, even by
  563. 24:21suppressing all the glorious
  564. 24:22civilization of Egypt, because you
  565. 24:24shouldn't enslave those who were
  566. 24:26enslaved. The Savior who pulled out
  567. 24:28those who had become slaves is indeed
  568. 24:30God.
  569. 24:30At that time, the famous miracle of the
  570. 24:33Red Sea parting, which you see in the
  571. 24:36Disney animation "The Prince of Egypt,"
  572. 24:39occurred, and the people went through 40
  573. 24:42years of wilderness to finally reach
  574. 24:44Israel, moving from Egypt in Africa to
  575. 24:47Asia.
  576. 24:51The event of entering Israel takes place
  577. 24:54. Finally, the Old Testament has wisdom
  578. 24:56, and among the kings, the good ones
  579. 24:58left behind good words. Especially the
  580. 25:01wise King Solomon, King Solomon, right?
  581. 25:06The gem-like words he left behind: if
  582. 25:08you live like this, life is beautiful,
  583. 25:10and if you live like this, life is
  584. 25:11blessed. Especially in the case of
  585. 25:13Proverbs, it tells many stories about
  586. 25:16human relationships. Do not guarantee
  587. 25:18for others.
  588. 25:20And do not listen to and speak of things
  589. 25:22carelessly.
  590. 25:23One who opens their mouth tells
  591. 25:25everything, even showing their own
  592. 25:28weaknesses to others.
  593. 25:31There is such wisdom. Now, let's examine
  594. 25:33creation in a little more detail. Then,
  595. 25:35what is the meaning of God creating it?
  596. 25:37I don't believe in creation, or I don't
  597. 25:39know. That could be true.
  598. 25:41If you are not a Christian or do not
  599. 25:44believe in Christianity, but when you
  600. 25:47see that creation was made by the
  601. 25:50intervention of God, the divine, first
  602. 25:53of all, God created it.
  603. 25:56The God of life has always shown meaning
  604. 25:58. The fact that you exist.
  605. 26:01Because living trees exist, humans are
  606. 26:03able to breathe.
  607. 26:04Because the ocean exists, it regulates
  608. 26:07temperature and provides marine
  609. 26:08resources and food for humans.
  610. 26:12When He made everything, even mountains
  611. 26:15, seas, and the wind, He made them all
  612. 26:18to be helpful to humans.
  613. 26:21There was balance and harmony; the
  614. 26:23initial balance was good. There was no
  615. 26:25greed.
  616. 26:27And ordering the earth to bring forth
  617. 26:30trees is the command in Genesis; it was
  618. 26:32very good because everything was
  619. 26:34beautiful when it was in its proper
  620. 26:37place, amount, and purpose according to
  621. 26:39God's will.
  622. 26:42If you look at Genesis, there is an
  623. 26:45interesting fact: He talks about light
  624. 26:47first.
  625. 26:48So, moving along, humans are created on
  626. 26:52the 6th day.
  627. 26:54Then the land appears. Then plants
  628. 26:57appear. Then the land and water appear,
  629. 27:01and animals appear. Looking at this, if
  630. 27:05light appeared and humans were created
  631. 27:07on the second day, humans would starve
  632. 27:09to death. If there were no sea and land
  633. 27:11, humans would be submerged and die. If
  634. 27:13there were no plants, herbivorous
  635. 27:15animals could not live, and if
  636. 27:16herbivores could not live, carnivores
  637. 27:18could not live. This algorithm itself,
  638. 27:21this routine itself, shows that someone
  639. 27:23with intelligence superior to humans
  640. 27:26created it, and that is exactly God.
  641. 27:30From such a divine perspective,
  642. 27:32everything was meticulously crafted
  643. 27:34without any flaws; if air hadn't been
  644. 27:36created, humans would have died the
  645. 27:38moment they appeared. Even things like
  646. 27:40this are beneficial to humans.
  647. 27:43The only exception is the atmosphere and
  648. 27:45everything else; even when sending
  649. 27:46probes to Mars, humans haven't actually
  650. 27:48gone there themselves.
  651. 27:49The initial sampling was done without
  652. 27:51human physical presence. This means that
  653. 27:53everything on Earth, where humans
  654. 27:55currently exist, was created to ensure
  655. 27:57they live as well as possible. This is
  656. 27:59exactly the will of God.
  657. 28:01According to the Bible, the Earth was
  658. 28:03prepared so that animals and humans
  659. 28:04could be created, and everything was set
  660. 28:06to function according to a routine.
  661. 28:09And then, a command is given to humans.
  662. 28:11Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth,
  663. 28:13and subdue it. This "subdue" doesn't
  664. 28:15mean to abuse recklessly, but to use it
  665. 28:17properly according to its purpose.
  666. 28:19Therefore, take control of it. This is
  667. 28:21the era where humans can live the most
  668. 28:23beautifully.
  669. 28:25However, if humans had used nature
  670. 28:28properly, such problems would not have
  671. 28:30occurred.
  672. 28:32When nations raise oil prices to pursue
  673. 28:35more economic wealth, it causes global
  674. 28:38turmoil.
  675. 28:40Raising oil prices is solely to
  676. 28:42accumulate more money. China's Belt and
  677. 28:44Road Initiative, which brought ruin to
  678. 28:46others by taking their resources, is a
  679. 28:48result of that mindset.
  680. 28:50Then, wars over resources must also be
  681. 28:52driven by greed.
  682. 28:53Now, this was never the original intent
  683. 28:55of God.
  684. 28:57Humanity was happy when there was a pure
  685. 28:59heart to share what those who have gave
  686. 29:02to those who do not, and to educate one
  687. 29:05another, but human greed has made
  688. 29:07everything this way.
  689. 29:10This is what makes creation go astray.
  690. 29:21Let's take a look at the video.
  691. 29:24A lot.
  692. 32:13This fits well, right?
  693. 32:26Size.
  694. 33:08The same one.
  695. 33:15This same thing.
  696. 33:22On top of 8.
  697. 34:22I saw it.
  698. 35:03Oh, this.
  699. 35:16The one that isn't there.
  700. 36:01It's a plug, you know, a plug.
  701. 36:04Cooler.
  702. 36:33Now, like this.
  703. 36:36Nature, which was created, and now, even
  704. 36:39human organs, language skills, and
  705. 36:41harmony...
  706. 36:44It's all made by God's mechanism, but
  707. 36:46since these things have entered nature,
  708. 36:49is there any hope?
  709. 36:51To develop capabilities, why don't you
  710. 36:53educate people in Africa more? There is
  711. 36:56just one reason.
  712. 36:57If they become educated, you can't send
  713. 37:00industries that require cheap labor or
  714. 37:02those that lack advanced wisdom.
  715. 37:08So, the West doesn't do it so they can
  716. 37:09keep investing in these things.
  717. 37:12Looking at it this way, if humans had
  718. 37:14truly fulfilled the command to rule and
  719. 37:16subdue as stated in Genesis, life would
  720. 37:19be beautiful, but because that's not the
  721. 37:21case, these things make human life
  722. 37:23difficult.
  723. 37:25It's okay now because of embankment
  724. 37:28projects and good waterfront management
  725. 37:30, but in the past...
  726. 37:34If you go to Centum City in Busan...
  727. 37:39Whenever it rains or there is a heavy
  728. 37:41downpour, the city gets flooded.
  729. 37:44Because, I'll just say this much. If it
  730. 37:46is engineered to be well-drained, the
  731. 37:49land value goes up. As you increase the
  732. 37:51number of floors in an apartment
  733. 37:53building per unit area, you generate
  734. 37:55much more profit; building 20 or 40
  735. 37:57stories instead of just 5 on the same
  736. 38:00plot of land brings in a fortune. Right
  737. 38:02? If one unit is worth 100 million won,
  738. 38:04a 5-story building might fetch 500
  739. 38:05million, but with 20 or 40 stories, the
  740. 38:06value skyrockets to 2 or 4 billion won.
  741. 38:07Humans always have an upward desire and
  742. 38:09love looking down from above, which is
  743. 38:11why penthouses sell for as much as 10
  744. 38:13billion won.
  745. 38:15When you pack so many homes into a
  746. 38:18single unit area to create a massive
  747. 38:20complex, the concentrated stress and
  748. 38:23downward load become intense—so what
  749. 38:26happens here?
  750. 38:28To support this weight, the sand or soil
  751. 38:30from the surrounding ground has to shift
  752. 38:31upward. It gets squeezed out. So, in
  753. 38:33places like Haeundae, the ground settles
  754. 38:36and soil escapes—this is all caused by
  755. 38:38human greed. We could live just fine
  756. 38:40without those kinds of apartments, right
  757. 38:41? Of course, people say they invest
  758. 38:43because of real estate value these days
  759. 38:44, but in reality,
  760. 38:48if you think about actual housing, these
  761. 38:51high-value, high-investment projects are
  762. 38:55just mirage-like phenomena created by
  763. 38:58human desire for resources and wealth.
  764. 39:01Now, let's examine the site.
