I am leaving this comment here so that after some hours, days, weeks, months or years when someone likes or comment on it, I will be reminded to watch this video again
Oh
It's been a day time to watch again. But don't believe everything you hear. The west lies.
Why
@@Swazoo "Z" 🤭
@@-kl3ow why so serious?
A powerful reminder to pray for those enduring persecution.
Agree, like people in the US who are slaves to their government and mega corporations. I pray we will be like North Korea one day, where the people pay zero taxes and still get free healthcare.
Prayer won't do a damn thing. But you kno what will? Donating to and volunteering for organizations that help North Koreans, like Liberty in North Korea (LiNK), flash drives for freedom, and plenty of others.
@in00n nah who donated and volunteered in other countries to free my people in America? We have to stop interfering in other countries problems just because the ones we help will let us build a military base on their land. These people in these countries have probably been fighting since the hunter gatherer age. And here comes the west thinking they can interfere. But the east is kinda done. Especially after the west supported Ukraine. We need to mind our business. You cannot police the world.
@@in00nWe always hear people say prayer won't do anything as they criticize those who pray for someone. At the same time, these same people who are critical of others praying for someone seem to have no issue with someone saying their thoughts are with someone going through difficulties. Based on the anti-prayer logic, do thoughts help or do any more good than prayers? Or, do people criticize others who offer prayers simply because they hate people who believe in a higher power?
Funny thing is, people who claim prayer doesn't do anything never cite any study showing this objectively.
The only study I heard of actually did show that people who were being prayed for recovered better, but the people doing the study refused to release the figures showing difference between different gods.
Furthermore, even from a materialistic point of view, if you are praying for someone or something, you are engaging with the subject, sharing, devoting time to it, this has got to he the first stage in doing something or influencing others to do something
I believe God is bringing up a generation of Christian creatives who are going to reach people through thir craft. YOU are living proof! This is so incredibly made - the quality and the genuine heart behind it are powerful
He has the ability to not preach like an evangelical and scream it in your face. This guy truly believes in what he speaks and isn't financially benefiting from speaking his beliefs, he's only giving a voice to the voiceless in North Korea. He has my respect and he's interesting, and so is the artwork within his video, he's very talented. A non Christian can watch without it feeling "culty" and invasive.
@@change691 exactly!
Believe it or not nobody likes to be a prisoner or slave even though your Christian colonialists saw it differently
@passportandbeer yeah, you're right. Cruel people have twisted every good thing, including Christianity, to justify doing horrifying, evil things to people. Slavery is denounced in the Bible many times because of the fundamental fact that no person should control another. God gave everyone free will, and he loves every single person equally.
Amen
The production value is atually incredible
Yes this channel's so underrated
@@keisanngit will reach all he wills .God's plan
Yea just wish he didnt go the religious route kinda ruined the video
@@C7Pliers Respectfully, I disagree. The video's main objective is to cover the history of Christianity in Korea through the duration of the past century. It is hard to find, if any, videos of this kind or niche. In addition, the cinematography, personal interview, and narrating really added to the enjoyment of the video for me. God Bless
❤
Matthew 22:10 “And you will be hated by all people on account of my name, but the one who has endured to the end will be saved.”
Continue enduring our brothers and sisters, our prayers go out to you.
Yes Lord give supernatural endurance.. send food in any form and way.. in the mighty name of Jesus
Yes, god please help the North Korean christians. The non christians don't need help as they all do good and can go to hell. This is Christian charity, full of love, but limited to the ones that share the same belief. Very moral.
❤️❤️❤️
@@__-1234 Bro this whole channel is about helping and preaching to non-Christians
@@OrangeSlices185 Especially preaching yeah. Helping, also, but only to those on whom the preaching has worked. Like I said, very moral. This is the different between love, compassion, and religious love: true love and compassion is done for free, regardless of the belief, and without trying to get people to believe in the same thing as you.
Someday, the people of North Korea will be free from persecution, free from the leading evils that be and finally at peace. Praying for their freedom. ❤❤
I sure hope so I find myself praying for that daily.....
When? How long nocor suffer this agony since birth
@@user-lp5lc5rv5k When will they stop being scared and actually take back their country?! I have Cameroonian parents who survived genocides and fled to safety then fought to defend their country. They can do it, they just need the courage
I really hope that they will be free one day
My prayer is that God will spark a revival in north korea and change the hearts of the people and the leadership of the county, I pray that God will give the people undeniable experiences of his presence and love
They got their own god.. why u want your god to help?
@@tagi8did you watch the video? They pray to and worship their dead president because they are forced to, not because they want to. The country used to be mostly Christian but cannot worship Jesus or they will go to a prison camp.
Amen!
@tag8 who’s north north koreas god? They don’t have one,government is their gid & that’s why the place is full of misery & suffering.They need GOD
YOU ALSO BELIEVE THAT SANTA WAS REAL
Kim Il Sung parents where Christian missionaries. But Kim himself became Judas.
Well that makes a lot of sense!! I wondered how he knew the story of jesus's life to be able to take parts of it he liked for his own birth story, and then add it to other parts to make himself seem like a god. He basically says he's omnipresent omniscient and omnipotent, but only God is that way. It's just crazy how nobody has ever put an end to it.
Wow
I can't even imagine how receptive a desperate people like this would be to the good news. Contrast this with the well-fed, sheltered westerner and it kinda blows my mind.
I was listening to this in my car and I had hunger come to me and I realized I did have some nuts. . And as I ate a few I told myself I don't need to eat at all I can hold back... I was full... But yet I truly don't know what true hunger is. I do know the hunger of Christ... That would be cool and constantly hunger for his love righteousness everything..
That's something that these oppressors cannot take. They cannot take God away from them. Not the sky not the Earth nothing
This is crazy! Get this: The national flower of South Korea is the Rose of Sharon. In song of songs the Rose of Sharon along with the Lily of the Valley represents the reunification of the bride and the groom. In context of the biblical narrative it shows Jesus reunifying with his bride as well as heaven and earth's reunification. For korans specifically, the Rose of Sharon represents the hope of reunification of the North and South--and on a deeper level, families reunifying their kin who were separated by the boarders.
This is interesting.
In the powerful name Jesus Christ, i pray for the soon freedom of North korea
So sorry but there is no god as if there was one he would have been fixed this by now so don't think there is one
@@user-nv2hw2wz9othere is one. theres proof. hes jus not in complete control rn .. satan challenged god, & very soon god will do great things. we are all jus a product of sin , soon real perfection & an earthly paradise will exist.
This was so impactful and eye opening. Definitely can see God working in the midst of everything. Thanks for the informative video :)
Helpful video to remind us about North Korea’s need for true God. I pray for our sisters and brothers there😭💔
Sorry there is no god ok?
Love your work! Appreciate the around the world report!
I've been looking forward to this so much! Thank you thank you thank you!
The United States is also rewriting the content of the Bible. Recently, the House of Representatives passed a bill prohibiting criticism of Israel, which includes a provision that any content criticizing Jewish people in the Bible can no longer be discussed. If you say it, it is considered anti-Semitic.
GIVE ME A BREAK! What proof do you have other than a conspiracy theory website
Because the freedom of speech was misused by anti-Semites for their hate speech, which is a crime. And a direct link was established between the hate speech that took place the years prior the Jewish holocaust and the current hate speech and genocidal intents of the left, far left and Islamists that chant for the extermination of Jews around he world, the destruction of Israel and the destruction of the US.
If you don't support all this,vyou shouldn't have a problem.
That is simply not true. They have never changed the Bible. They made it against the law for college campus to have anti Semitic protest that's considered hate speech. But they have never tried to change the Bible its not nice to lie about something like that. Not all Americans are bad people there are quite a few good Christians here to.
What the hell. I just had to open up my big mouth and post all those hundreds of thousands of comments when people are arguing about it on CZcams a while back... All I did was explain exactly what the Bible says and then I've been shadowbanned off and on ever since over it. Makes sense now..
waited for this!
Thank you for making these. They stir my heart to pray.
To be absolutely fair, S.Korea was only democratic by title, and was also under a repressive dictatorship up until the 80's, which is pretty recent on a grand scale.
Also, back in the 60s and 70s, the standards of living were actually better in the North than in the South, thanks to the Soviets lavishing huge amounts of aid on NK. With the demise of the USSR the aid stopped, and NK stated to spiral into destitution
This is a great series. Really informative and interesting.
Amazing videos, man. Keep it up!!!
This reminds me of when d Bible wrote on satan trying to be God but at d end "I saw satan fall like lightening" kim II sung wait for it
I’m adopted from S. Korea and feel so immensely Blessed to be in the UNITED STATES! I was given a second chance at life!! I’m so grateful I wasn’t brought up in N Korea! I can’t even imagine living in N Korea!
Fraud is an understatement- what a Criminal family 🤦🏻♀️
Nice work!👍
I'm curious where you are conducting the interviews? Thanks!
The Bible speaks about how when an evil spirit leaves a man and comes back it brings 7 worse... it was speaking about that generation... look at this country
Yes spiritual eyes. There is scriptures how to bring it down. ...
Thank you so much for this insightful documentary!
Amen thank you for this amazing series, I believe it’s truly going to be a blessing and eye-opener to many. Let’s keep praying for the people in North Korea to receive the gospel, and also for those in the South that their hearts won’t become hardened but they will continue to be open to God’s love!!
I also really appreciate the black screen and music for some time at the end. It allows you time to process everything and really take it in and sit with your thoughts for a bit, or to say a prayer right away instead of immediately being thrown into the next thing like so many things on social media these days. I found it really helped to truly appreciate the video.
Hi, I just found your channel. Thank you so much for your well put together videos. When I watch you, I can see hoe sincere you are and how the North Koreans are on your heart, beautiful!! God bless you, brother!!
Good Video!
It’s unbelievable that how people will risk their lives to escape. It’s just sad that people around the world don’t have freedom. It’s always a sure sign that if the government doesn’t let you go outside of their country, they are suffering from persecution. I pray that one day the people will be able to live free.
Love new NK content. Great production value
Thank you! ❤️
Amazing work! To God be the glory!
So how did she finally manage to escape?
Ive hear Yeonmi Park talk about North Korea many times,and while she did say there wasnt religion,and that they were taught that the Kims are like gods, she never said anything about anyone being interrogated to find out if they had heard about Christianity.
God bless this woman. The perception of North Korean dictators is often one of sadness and despair behind closed doors, with any displayed happiness and grandeur serving merely as a façade. This masks a disdain for humanity and a desire for revenge stemming from prejudices encountered during their youth. Their inability to move past these experiences blinds them to the truth, as they seek power to shape society according to their vision. However, the notation of purifying society through violence is unacceptable. While society is far from perfect, purifying society with violence will never be the way to go.
Thank you for this video...I do pray for my sisters and brothers in NORTH KOREA. GOD BLESS You all ! 🌷🌸🍃
Juche is the religion of self reliance as long as the regime is in power theres nothing really anyone can do without starting a war
Praise be to Jesus Christ our God and Saviour!! So excited for the next episode. EVERY KNEE WILL BOW.
if you live in USA god dont love you
The UN doesn’t defend the human rights of North Korean population. On the others hand they condemn Israel for their right to defend themselves.
To defend oneself is important but when you overdo it then it becomes the evil that their responding to
How old is this content??
Juche주체.
you should pronounce it juche, not youche.
J sounds like juice, June, jury, jewel, juvenile....
kind of reminds me of the portuguese missionaries in Goa.
My late husband came from the former USSR and what is described in North Korea is what was similar to the USSR. I sometimes pray for the citizens of North Korea.
Let's continue praying together for our brothers & sisters in North Korea!
I pray for them alot. I fast for them. It will happen if we don't give up.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
your video seems really good but the flashing effect is really annoying
Am praying 💙
according to music that is horror movie,not documentary
Its so good to exposure Kim Young Dumb to the world. 👍🏻
i wonder why the country just do not turn on him he is just one man.. if his military turns on him what can he do
Kim also took upon himself the japanese model of emperor and how he was worshipped and seen as a godlike figure
Daily I pray for N. Korea, especially those imprisoned, those who are tortured, those who are loosing hope, May God Almighty hear all the prayer that are being said around the world, and soon set this dreadful country free!!! In Jesus Name!!
Another reason to be grateful I’m the country you live
Hey man, love the video but the hissing sound in the background gets really annoying at some parts. May want to take it out for future
Thanks for letting people know the harsh reality of the world we're living in.
My prayers that the North and the South will be Reunited once again. Prayers to all our brothers and sisters suffering in that Prison country
Our God is stronger. Psalm 2. May He shatter the darkness, expose the lies, give His peace to replace fear. Praying that the Spirit of the Living God will sweep over North Korea and bring freedom and salvation.
Thank you for the video!
It's not Yuche, it is Juche.
Half of america thinks trump is chrisitan
There was another korean woman who escaped she was worldly the vides i seen. . Not hid it. I dont want to type .. she is free yet things in her needs Jesus to set her free. Hope she has open eyes and heart. She live for Jesus..
Kim dynasty very well aware they arent gods but they need to instill on their people's mind that they are extraordinary figures. plus keeping their people ignorant. all of these to prevent huge revolt & collapse of North Korea. this is a very common practice during ancient times.
May Gods changes their leader Heart in Mighty Name of Jesus Christ from (India)🇮🇳
Amen. Nothing impossible with God ?
@@delphiniapickett2934 🙏 amen
Aren't Indians Hindu?
@@zanetruesdale7263 All India 🇮🇳 are not Hindus some received the Gospel and changed their life by Jesus said I am way truth and life and I am a follower of Jesus Christ
@@Mahi_paulyeah preach my Indian brother
I disagree. There are regimes in antiquity that are similar to North Korea. Christians were targeted during the Roman empire.
This is horrific and makes me angry these poor people are forced to live like this and we cant do much to help. I dont understand how someone can so boldy call themself God. And WOW the faith in those people is uncrushable just like he said.
16:09 Ok this is just funny. I had a star! And uh… TWO rainbows, im much cooler see
I think they use the hunger game then it works.... Oppress any ounce of Hope.
We all have some sort of idolatry in us. God shows us in his timing. This one is taught by hunger and positions to keep from hunger and rejection. Work other than work in camps. If they know suffering of Christ and his power they would not be working for this one family . It will come down... Antichrist has plans .. God is greater. .it is finished on the cross .
If they resist the Antichrist they're going to realize something.. they will fear this one because they were used to having themselves being worshiped... Hopefully most of us will not be here to see it.
The Koreans that God has his mind on will set them free... Let's pray the gospel reach them in their dreams in any form. Pray for food to come to them for they have strength..
Would have love to have seen Christopher Hitchens said about this.
Thank you for sharing Grace! Beautiful name!
It's sad that someone can't choose to follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.. America is far from perfect, but freedom of religion should be everyone's right..🙏🙏🙌🙌
Thanks for the clip. I can now know how to pray for North Korea.
hey I need your help I am John from Syria living in Iraq I'm on wheelchair since my birth I aI became a Christian but the point is there's no hope for me here so I ask you guys so may you help whoever can help me to get out of here please contact sorry my English is not that good in writing I hope you understand
God will open one door and close another.. you got to have your papers together and know where you could go so be ready. Nothing is impossible with God. Believe!!
Hello brother, have you tried to claim asylum because of your religious beliefs?
@@Levi1cor16V14 I try a lot for many humanitarian organizations and with many you and organizations but no one seems to care for years can you help
That's true not propaganda I live close to the border of nocor and socor
6:37 Not me. I don't go.
And they still sit at the United Nations that why I said United Nations is a joke
This video was so thought-provoking and jarring as I didn't even realize that Kim Il Sung was raised in a Christian home. If that really is true, he truly was a sick man for what he did to his own people. Truly horrendous things that Grace Jo Kim and her family had to go through. It reminded me in a needed moment of just how much privileged I am here in America, especially as a Christian. These North Korean believers would give anything for the religious freedom I have; yet often times than not, I get so stuck in my own ways about how Christians are treated here in America. This video really put me in my place 😂. Overall, great video, Radical, and I look forward to watching your other videos.
This is such great insight, thank you for sharing your thoughts! ❤️
this is true
Thanks for this video.....I do pray for NORTH KOREA...It is good to hear news about my brothers and sisters there. GOD' BLESS You all.🎉❤
Maria Antigua Rosa's Son
Great work!! Praying 🙏 fir North Korea 🇰🇵
Wow Oh Lord protect your children!!!!
I would love to see the Korean border to be just like the Irish border.
😢
North Korea’s leader sure isn’t starving or missing any meals!!!
He's Asia's Answer to the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
he reminds me of johnny harris , at least his voice
Praying 🙏 for the people in Korea to know the true truth about the words of God is more powerful and more peaceful than communism 🫡❤️🙏😇
Why. They don’t open chickens farm’s pork.. lambs .. cows.. food factory’s. ? Vegetables farmers. Is that too difficult from them. ? They build nuclear bombs. ?…
This is somewhat like the hunger games movie a bit. What can do to a mass of people.. protesters protest on the things they don't understand but if they would understand North Korea maybe they should be doing that I'm going to help these people.. protesting one thing doing action for the suffering is another.. when I heard of women of Iran I think call the Kurdish women they gave their lives to fight for their borders marriage and family..
Hunger Games is fiction...fantastically fiction. North Korea is the real deal and is one, if not the last place on our planet closed off from the rest of the world and so full of crimes against humanity by the regime.
So sad and disturbing 😳
God designed us to be free, it saddens my privileged heart . People are missing love and truth. Thus it creates self hate that spills over and creates forced ideas. Praying for those around the world. For them to be free by the Grace of God. The Mercy of God
Amazing what God's Word alone can do...
God is amazing!
Really
Annoying background soundtrack made it impossible to listen
Bro!
I've always dreamed of sneaking in and giving non censored Bibles out to the masses there. In their language of course, Chinese calligraphy, and English of course, but mostly their language. They mostly would think the Bible copied the Kim's story, because that's basically what the Kim's did they took jesus's life story and claimed it as their own birth stories, in life stories and miraculous other stories.
No wonder south korea has cult existence issue. They're just lear from the success one
It's hard to follow what is said in the video because of the hallucinating music and sounds on the background.
May God have mercy on them please
Im American and I know they think they are Gods…
Other than the whole Christian propaganda b.s., this was a great video
Glória a Deus ❤
Thank You JESUS for all that I have and forgive me for not appreciating my blessings.
It's like the country is stuck in the 1940s . It's time to come into the 20th century . 😊
❤
