  Koreans Are Men Of Highest Intelligence (World-top)

  This Table is based on the Table 4 of Prof. Richard Lynn

http://rlynn.co.uk

Koreans, however, are too arrogant and haughty to stand together in one united body
and too much jealous against one another to follow the maxim: Live and let live.
And the result is that Korea has never reached
beyond the region of the rivers of Yalu and Dooman
though it once stood above Manchuria as well as the peninsula of Korea
with its glamorous and undaunted history of more than four thousands of years.
 Koreans now need to be reshaped by the gospel of Jesus Christ
and then they will be able to fulfill the prophecy of Sir Rabindranath Tagore the Indian poet
that Korea would someday be the Lamp of the East that lights up the world.

"Koreans love to sing and to dance; are well adept in horse-riding and archery;
hold their funeral services in most magnificent ways unlike other peoples round about
and theirs is the Land of the Wise, of Nobility and of Virtue in the East
with its people who love to wear everyday costumes in white
(so much so that they have been called "the white-clad folk"
by themselves and by the various people all around)
which they believe represents the light and the sunrise",
was what the Old Chinese used to say praising this country of "Morning Lucidity
(or Sunrise Luminosity)('Morning Calm' as commonly known is an incorrect translation)".

The notion of white-clad people is also biblical
with "whiteness" representing 'light' and 'cleanness'(or purity),
for in the Scripture such verses draw our attention as
"He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments"(Rev. 3:5),
"they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy"(Rev. 3:4),
"washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb"(Rev. 7:14),
"then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it"(Rev. 20:10),
 "then a white robe was given to each of them"(Rev. 6:11),
 "behold, a great multitude ... clothes with white robes"(Rev. 7:9),
"she saw two angels in white sitting"(John 20:12;Matt.28:3;Mark 16:5; Lk.24:4),
"His clothes became shining, exceedingly white"(Mark 9:3), and so on.

Old Chinese called the ancestors of Korea "The Archers of the East"
(sure enough, the Korean archers of both sexes have been famed
for their victories gained over the various games worldwide including the Olympics).
Scholars insist that these forefathers invented the Chinese characters.
The Korean characters are famed for its scientific structure of letters.
Koreans are the first who learned to use the metallography.
They are also the first to use ironclad warships in a naval battle
and won the great victory over the Japanese invaders in 1592.
Many of the wise men of China including Confucius and Mencius
were of the lineage of these "Archers of the East".
 Hence the Chinese sages from the old called the Koreans "the kingly gentlemen". 

As the Bible says, "the heart of the wise {is} in the house of mourning;
but the heart of fools {is} in the house of mirth"(Ecc. 7:4),
men of discretion meditate deep on the death.
Hence in their quest for truth and as the result of such earnestness
the Koreans have received wholeheartedly Buddhism at first
and then Confucianism and lastly Christianity.
Koreans who learned from old times to send their dead to the world beyond
in grand and faithful performances
are now ready to accept the wholesome truth of eternal life and glory,
which is in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
 
The Mongoloid led by Genghis Khan went westward to conquer the then world
and returned to settle their kingdom eastward.
Another band of Mongoloid in far earlier days went eastward to the direction of sunrise,
expecting to explore the meaning of source of light-the truth
with high hope that they would acquire the eternal truth,
not the temporal earthly conquest of external glory.
These Korean Mongoloids are now on the march westward
to preach the Gospel, the message of love and of the conquest of Death
to the great mass in Asia and in Africa
and to let the whole world see the truth that they have now acquired.

We preach not religion, but Person;
not persons, but the only One together with us in daily fellowship and service,
Who says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life,
because to live Christ is the most reasonable and excellent and happiest way of life.
So to die is gain(Phil.1:21).

Every country has her geniuses like Goethe. So meeting an individual any place any time, you should not underestimate that person in any way, for that individual might be higher than you in IQ ranks.
