wow, amazing.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

The Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. However, it is just as true that when the wicked are gone, the rest of us may have peace and comfort.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

I'm sure glad for the grace of God which has led me to a personal relationship with Jesus and that I can know I have eternal life (ref 1 John 5:1, 11-13). Based on what we have seen from Kim Jong on the news, he died without this confidence.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

Basically that is what I am getting at. It is also why I shouted 'amen!' when Bin Laden was made into swiss cheese.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

Finally. Isn't his heir the one who sneaked out of the country to visit Disneyland Japan several years ago? I hope it's that one. We need more dictators who enjoy Mickey Mouse and fewer dictators who are Mickey Mouse.

Lol!! He sure was Goofy!

Wow! So much taking place on that side of the world this year.

Stay tuned for Irvin Baxter to slip something into the Kool Aid..over this one :)

LOL

And then there are all the end-timers who still like to use numerology who will no doubt find great significance.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

Kind of poetic that Il is no longer ill.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

I will plainly state that I am glad that this man is dead.

:horn

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

Wow! That is a sad thing to say.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

Oh, but I'm sure everyone who's happy about this is also hoping that he got saved at the last minute. I'm sure. :lol

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

I think they get their jollies at the thought that he's burning in hell.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

Oh. Well, can't blame them, I suppose. Everyone in hell is there because they chose to go there, after all. If Kim is there by choice, we should all be happy. :hmmm

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

Oh, hey, what if he did get saved just before he died? Would that make some people really mad?

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

I know God doesn't... but can we just a little? lol

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

I don't rejoice in that he is in Hell. I rejoice that God's justice was finally served to a man who committed horrendous crimes against an entire people.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

Perhaps, but we'd learn to rejoice in the fact through eternity... as long as God didn't promote Kim to Heavenly Security Officer. ;)

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

I honestly don't care what's happening to ol slim-Jim now. Just like a horrible co-worker who's fired -you don't care what he's currently doing, just that he isn't at your company anymore.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

"When the righteous prosper, the city rejoiceth. When the wicked die, there are shouts of joy."

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

Randy, have you thought about calling a pest control about your computer. I've almost damaged my screen try to get that little creature, with no luck! :santathumb

Been Thinkin

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

Sounds like it would be good to pray for the leadership of Korea.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

You, I, and many others are glad to see him die.

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

I don't get any jollies at the thought that he's burning in hell.
It is my understanding that at death our spirit/soul leaves the body and God dispositions that inner person to Hades or Paradise and the body returns to the earth awaiting the resurrection.

I don't know if Kim Jong called out to God for mercy before his death or not. I hope he did. He is in the hands of a merciful God.

There is an article on this on Charisma news online today

What Does Kim Jong-Il’s Death Mean to North Korean Christians?

Kim Jong-Il, the leader of North Korea, died on Sunday evening. North Korean news agencies reported that Kim Jong-Il had died of fatigue from "overworking to serve the people of North Korea." He was 69 years old.

Because of possible ramifications of his death for North Koreans and the entire world, Open Doors is calling for prayers for the country and the suffering Christians who live there.

"Today marks a significant day in North Korean history," says Open Doors USA president and CEO Dr. Carl Moeller. "Though this brutal dictator, who was responsible for so many atrocities, has died, the future is still unknown. Some speculate that his son Kim Jong-Un will be just as cruel to all dissenters. Others suggest that he may be more lenient. We simply do not know the future of North Korea, but God does.

"This is why it is vital that Christians around the world pray for North Korea during this transitional time. Pray especially for the brave Christians inside North Korea. They are fearful that they might face even more suffering. There are an estimated 50,000 to 70,000 Christians being held in North Korean prison camps where they face even more horrific treatment than other prisoners. People are starving to death. The people of North Korea are living a nightmare that never ends."

For the past nine years, North Korea has held the number one spot on the Open Doors World Watch List. The list ranks the top 50 countries which are the worst persecutors of Christians. The 2012 World Watch List will be released on Jan. 4 with North Korea expected to retain the top spot.

In North Korea, any form of worship to anyone other than the "Great Leader" (Kim Il-Sung) and the "Supreme Leader" (Kim Jong-Il) is seen as treason. North Korean Christians are often arrested, tortured or even killed for their faith in Jesus Christ.

"It is very unlikely that there will be any policy changes," says Simon, Open Doors' main contact for Christians inside North Korea. "In fact, since Kim Jong-Un came closer to the helm, North Korea has stepped up its attempts to uncover any religious activities. There have been more house raids, more spies trained to infiltrate religious and human rights networks and one South Korean Christian who was murdered in China because he helped refugees. Christians fear what Kim Jong-Un capable of doing. He will do anything to keep hold of power."

As Simon sees it, North Korea is the first communist country that has established a real dynasty. The rule has been transferred to the third generation, he notes, but there is a big difference from the previous succession: Kim Il-Sung had the support of the entire communist bloc.

"Kim Jong-Il had been preparing for his role for over 20 years before he had to assume power. Kim Jong-Un was only designated as the next leader in October 2010 during a rare Worker's Party Congress," Simon says. "He is young and inexperienced. There may be a power struggle, which he may not win. On the other hand, the clique around the Kims has been able to hold the ropes for over six decades. They have made it very difficult for opponents to get organized. Something special is needed to topple the regime."

A North Korean Christian refugee in Seoul, South Korea, told Open Doors that she had mixed feelings when she heard the news of the death of Kim Jong-Il.

"I always thought I'd be happy when he was dead. I hated him but God taught me to love my enemies. My North Korean friends react in different ways. One is angry and says: 'He should have died like Moammar Gadhafi (former Libyan dictator killed several months ago).' Another is relieved: 'Congratulations! Now the Koreas will become one nation soon.' To be honest, I don't see that happening very quickly. Even if the 'absolute power' has died, the generals and other rulers will do their very best to keep control."

According to Open Doors sources, North Korea has closed the borders and sealed off the usually tolerated black markets. Security agents and police officers are seen on every street and alley. The sound of wailing people is being heard throughout the country.

"We hope 2012 will see real change politically and economically, but especially in freedom to believe," Simon says. "We pray for freedom for all citizens so that they may be free to live how they want and allowed to believe what they want. We want those prison camps to open up so we can embrace our brothers and sisters in Christ who have suffered there under terrible circumstances."

Re: Kim Jong Il is dead!
 

I was not saying that I am not glad that he is dead, I am. But that it is sad that his soul went out into torment forever lost and apart from God. However, he had opportunities while alive, and he made his choices as do we all.

"overworking to serve the people of North Korea." LOL!!!

Sin carries a penalty, whether it's the justice or the unjust. God's or the devil's children, sin carries a penalty.
Cause and effect. Commit and reap. What is sent out returns. What is committed in the body is fulfilled in the body. What is done in the spirit is laid up in the spirit to be returned.
Give and it shall be given. Take and it shall be taken. Lie and you shall be deceived. Forgive and you shall receive forgiveness. Hate and you will be hated. Have mercy and you will obtain mercy in the day you need it.
The law of Jesus is more than written rules to abide by, things to remember that you don't do them. The law of God is the force of God in the universe. It is applied upon all the same. All things in the flesh are judged by it and all things in the spirit also.
I hope we some day will learn how to use it correctly to our prosperity and the good of others.
