There is little doubt that President Trump knows that nuclear weapons are
not the only serious problem with the leader of North Korea.
Even with the difficulty of getting news, pictures and first hand
testimony out of the rogue nation, enough information is available from
secret sources, defectors and those who have escaped from NK to compile a
clear picture of the worst human rights violating nation in the region.
Many of those detained, incarcerated, beaten and regularly tortured have
as their only crime the fact that they are Bible believing Christians. Kim
Jong Un, is indeed, the modern eastern version of Emperor Nero.
Christianity a serious threat?
In its annual International Religious Freedom Report issued this Tuesday
May 29, 2018 the U.S. State Department issued a condemning report against
the North Korean regime. The communist state considers Christianity a
“serious threat.”
To Kim Jong Un, those who kneel to pray and try to love their neighbors as
themselves are a threat to his rule and his nation.
Reports indicate that there have been 119 killings, 87 disappearances
recently, and as many as 50,000 to 200,000 Christians remain in
concentration camps which in every way are similar to those of Nazi
Germany. None of the camps are open to inspections by the Red Cross or any
other humanitarian organization.
What are their crimes?
Many North Koreans are arrested and shuffled off to the camps for almost
nothing. Breitbart said, “The report also suggested that persecution of
individuals suspected of being Christians increased recently, targeting
North Korean citizens for “crimes” ranging from being found in possession
of religious material to simply loitering near a church too long for
police to be comfortable with their presence, or driving by a church too
many times.”
What do North Korean defectors say about the camps?
Breitbart also quoted Thae Yong-ho, the highest ranking NK official to
ever defect from the regime. Thae said Kim needs to allow Christianity and
the spread of churches to build trust among the North Korean people.
Thae said to leaders of the west, “You must insist that North Korea builds
churches for both South Koreans and foreigners,” Thae said, addressing
South Koreans. “You must convince the North that allowing religious
freedom will instill trust. Seeing churches with the crucifix will move
North Koreans.”
North Korean camps worse than Nazi concentration camps?
According to Justice Thomas Buergenthal, a former Nazi concentration camp
survivor; North Korea’s camps are not only worse than Auschwitz and
Sachsenhausen, but NK’s political prisons and camps should be labeled as
ongoing “crimes against humanity.”
Murder, infanticide and torture are carried out on a regular basis.
Buergenthal, who served on the International Court of Justice, was one of
three jurists to conclude that the NK camps are practicing crimes against
nature, rape, forced labor, starvation, child abuse, murder and
enslavement. Attempted escapes are met with a firing squad
One camp survivor said “a doctor, caught trying to escape to China, said
he was stripped, hung upside down, bashed and tortured with fire or water.
Water mixed with pepper was poured into his nose and mouth,” according to
writer Debbie Shipp in an Australian news outlet.
God and the civilized world have only one demand to make of Kim Jong Un.
The term appears 9 times in the Bible and is commonly associated with the
Exodus of the ancient Israelites from Egypt. The demand was made by Moses
who represented the will of God to the Pharaoh. It was a straight up
demand, no mincing of words.
“Let my people go.” (Ex 5: 1)
All oppressors, dictators and despots have the same demand made on them.
It Is God’s nature and a direct command to all those who would oppress
others. When they are oppressed for their faith in God the anger of God is
invoked. The hermit kingdom of Kim Jong Un is already under the judgment
of God with the worst economic conditions of any country in the east.
Why not shine the light so both the Korean people and those in the
internment camps are finally relieved of their desperate condition.
What light?
Kim Jong Un – consider these clear calls on exactly what you should do for
the people of your nation.
“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of
wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free,
and that ye break every yoke?” (Isa 58: 6)
“And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted
soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the
noon day.” (Isa 58: 10)
