If this does happen, then perhaps weâ€™re going to be bowing our heads again in gratitude to a merciful God who overthrows one of the worst tyrants in history without firing a single shot.

Kim Il-sung was in power 45 years and his son for 15. Merciful God can overthrow Kim Jong-il anytime now. Maybe he’ll be able to stay under the radar just like his father and Stalin did.

Bloomberg is citing a Donga Ilbo report saying he was trying to defect and go work for the DPRK army.

Theresa – sometimes that is the consequence of generations of injustice. I am a military member myself, and I do not want war, but I have learned that sometimes the only way to purge a people of their national, social and moral transgressions is by a horrific judgment. Juche is a disgusting distortion of the worship of the one God adored by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Its only a matter of time before it collapses. Let’s pray that the suffering the Korean people have endured all these decades is enough and that God will spare them further suffering from the scourge of all-out war.

KCJ- You know what I mean. All out war. The physical kind, not just the spiritual kind. Thousands of physical lives lost, bloodshed etc.,

It’s what I cynically fear. I am not saying it will happen, but …..

There is a war going on already, Theresa, but now the good guys are beginning to shoot back – with Truth.

I don’t know about the “without firing a single shot” part, but I like these overall comments. However, I have this horrible feeling that there indeed, will be, a war.

Remember, the Berlin Wall fell down after one East German crossed the border. When people realized that the borders were really open and that the only thing that kept them there was their irrational fear of a failing government, then the border fell.

The same could be true here. What would it look like if a hundred Americans crossed into North Korea to be captured? What about a thousand or a hundred thousand? What if every one of those Americans who crossed had the same faith that Robert Park had, that perhaps their insane sacrifice might soften the hearts of the leadership of that country? Could this be the straw that breaks the camel’s back?

Stranger things have happened.

If this does happen, then perhaps we’re going to be bowing our heads again in gratitude to a merciful God who overthrows one of the worst tyrants in history without firing a single shot.

If the Sparatcus reference isn't clear to your rearders, here's a short clip that shows the potential of Robert Park's bold incursion into the heart of the Juche inferno.

Its a Spartacus moment in the making.

The accompanying delivery of 150,000 leaflets into North Korea by Park’s activist organization, Pax Koreana is the real story here. The leaflets explain Park’s mission and will most certainly be policed up by North Korean Army regulars – 70% of whom are deployed within a few miles of the DMZ.

Why is that important? Because when the military begins to sympathize with the dissidents, with Christians, or with ordinary North Koreans – the game is over, Juche has failed, and the Ceaucescu moment is imminent. I’m not saying that vast numbers of the Soldiers who read these leaflets will necessarily believe the messages printed on them – although some already do – but that the rumors will begin to spread into the population that a Korean-American Christian entered North Korea openly to call Kim Jong Il to repent and receive the Christian God. That will certainly cause a moral earthquake – and the 70,000+ cell phones currently in use in the DPRK may be a source to facilitate the spread of the rumors all over the country. The fact that the KCNA is reporting that 2 Americans have entered the DPRK is an inadvertant aid to the overall effort.

After all the years of confrontation between massive armies, navies, air forces, nuclear weapons, espionage and intrigue, it may be that a weak and frail missionary, some helium balloons and small waterproof leaflets will be the David’s stone that fells the Goliath of Juche.

God grant that Robert Park’s mission continue to grow in its effectiveness.
