The Bible Book of Revelation is about two great wars. One is a spiritual battle between Good and evil. God in Heaven, coming down riding a white horse, represents the forces of Good. Satan leads those forces of evil on a red horse; also represented by a woman riding a scarlet colored beast. All that’s required for the forces of Good to win is the acceptance that God is; and His Son Jesus Christ shares His throne. That’s it; it’s that simple. The other battle will be a great battle on a real earthly battlefield; commonly known as the Battle of Armageddon. This battle will also be a ...

There are many messengers and images in Revelation described as beasts. And in most cases they are considered terrible looking animals visualized as dragons or other beasts with pointy tales and mouths spewing fire and brimstone. This is not the case. Most of these beasts are only metaphors that describe messengers or a visualization of an otherwise indescribable image. There are two types of beasts described in Revelation. One type is only a metaphor that describes a thought, an idea, or a messenger. There are four of these ‘beasts’ that introduce the Four Horses of the Apocalypse. ...

To say that the so-called "Supreme Commanders" of North Korea have been sticklers for submission would trivialize the more-than-troubling state of affairs that has plagued this precarious place for decades. The fearsome Kim regime, though relatively fresh in comparison to powerful dynasties that lasted for centuries, has become one of history's most controversial bloodlines. Kim Il-sung analyzes the known and unknown about one of the most important leaders of the 20th century.

Yeonmi Park was not dreaming of freedom when she escaped from North Korea. She didn't even know what it meant to be free. All she knew was that she was running for her life, that if she and her family stayed behind they would die - from starvation, or disease, or even execution.

There’s a strong effort from within our great nation to destroy our free American way of life that we have enjoyed since our nation ‘under God’ was formed. There is also evidence that the plan to destroy us grows more militantly open. Not only has our great nation been infiltrated by those whose plan is to destroy our nation, our heritage, and our culture; many from within are aiding in that effort by trying with all their might to destroy the presidency of Donald Trump. With their many blatant, ungodly, and inhuman attacks against the leader of our nation, they expose themselves as ...

The Korean War is often labeled “the forgotten war”, and though it has received renewed attention in recent years, it still pales compared to others in recent history like the Vietnam War or even the more recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. What’s mostly overlooked is that the Korean War was one of the most intense conflicts the United States fought, and the soldiers who served in it were arguably in greater peril than in any other war over the last 75 years.

Born in 1933 in a small rural village in Korea’s North Cholla Province, Ko Un grew up in a Japanese-controlled land that was soon to experience the horrors of the Korean War. He became a Buddhist monk in 1952, and began writing in the late 1950s. Ten Thousand Lives is his major, ongoing work, which began in prison with a determination to describe every person he had ever met or heard of. It tells the stories of many figures from Korean history, as well as children and poor people, who, without his poems, would have vanished into oblivion.
