📖 Book Introduction: Who Is the True Savior, Messiah, and Jeong Do-ryeong?
By Kim Jin-sil

In an era of climate collapse, pandemics, war, and inequality, humanity is asking one of the oldest yet most urgent questions: Who will save us?

From ancient myths to modern religions, people have long awaited a savior—whether the Messiah, Maitreya, Mahdi, or Jeong Do-ryeong. But with the world facing crises of survival, is waiting for a savior enough? Or has this very expectation become part of the problem?

In Who Is the True Savior, Messiah, and Jeong Do-ryeong?, Kim Jin-sil undertakes a sweeping exploration of humanity’s messianic longing. Drawing on history, psychology, anthropology, and theology, the book examines why people seek salvation, how self-proclaimed messiahs have risen and fallen, and why religions—despite their billions of followers—often fail to address the root crises of our time.

The book is divided into six parts:

The History of Selfishness Calling for a Savior – Why humans long for a redeemer, and the hidden self-interest behind salvation.

The March of Messiahs – A study of Western, Eastern, and Korean messianic movements, from the Taiping Rebellion to modern sects.

Why All Former Saviors Failed – The recurring patterns of false prophecy, corruption, and collapse.

The Crisis of Modern Civilization – How climate change, inequality, and technology demand urgent solutions.

Who Is the True Savior of the New Era? – The conditions of a genuine savior in the “Later Heaven Era”: altruism, action, and universal values.

We Must All Become Saviors – A powerful conclusion: salvation lies not in waiting for one messiah, but in humanity choosing to act as saviors together.

This book is not only a critique of false hopes but also a manifesto for a new vision of human responsibility. The true savior, Kim argues, will not be someone who proclaims divine authority or demands blind faith, but rather a figure—or even a movement—that lives altruism, solves real-world problems, and inspires humanity to do the same.

Urgent, provocative, and deeply relevant, this work challenges both believers and skeptics to reconsider what salvation truly means in the 21st century. Instead of passively waiting for a messiah, Kim calls us to awaken the savior within ourselves.

For readers interested in religion, philosophy, history, or the future of humanity, this book offers clarity, courage, and hope in a world on the edge.
