The Sangssireum(Ultimate Match) Shall End the Established Orde

The Sangssireum(Ultimate Match) Shall End the Established Orde *Dojeon 5:6

1 One day, Sangjenim declared, “The tides of the world shall be as those of a ssireum tournament. After the children’s match and youths’ match, the tournament shall be brought to an end with the sangssireum.”

2 Sangjenim drew on a sheet of paper a stroke like the center curve of the Taegeuk symbol and explained, “This is a three-eight line.

3 I shall place the center ring of the ssireum tournament on Joseon’s thirty-eighth parallel, and it is there that I shall launch the sangssireum of the world.

4 I shall found the Court of Judgment for All Nations in Joseon. When the ox enters the ssireum center ring, the tournament shall be brought to an end.”

 

Sangjenim predestined through His work of ssireum that world affairs would unfold with the children’s match, the youths’ match, and the sangssireum. (...) Both the children’s match and the youths’ match have come to an end, and now the sangssireum between the two Koreas is underway. Both South and North Korea are standing face to face. Even now, two immortals are contesting a match, two immortals are giving advice, and one is the host.

Sangssireum(“ultimate match”) is entwined with the emergence of a disease: the mysterious disease. In other words, the confrontation between the two Koreas will be concluded, but the whole situation will be settled not just on the level of human affairs. The cosmic transition of the Autumn Gaebyeok will trigger the ‘determination of the ultimate match,’ which will lead in turn to the mysterious disease, the last gaebyeok event.
