Open note to the world:

In this dark time, we who are of faith are not disheartened. In fact, we are looking up and excited because it means our redemption draws near.

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”” (Luke‬ ‭21:28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

One day, possibly in the near future, all Christians who believe and confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, as well as young children, will vanish simultaneously from the world.

The world will search and not find them. Do not be alarmed because it means the Jesus has come back to receive His church in the air.

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” (I Thessalonians‬ ‭4:16-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

If you miss that event which we term “the Rapture”, you will have to wait seven years before you get to see Jesus again.

The seven years period called “the Tribulation” will be a terrible time for the world. A dictator the Bible calls “the Antichrist” and “the Beast” will rule the world with harsh marshal laws and persecution of Jews and Christians.

Cataclysmic disasters and plagues will befall this earth on an unprecedented scale. Most importantly, do not receive “the mark of the beast” on your right hand or forehead, if not you will be doomed to suffer in the lake of fire (a permanent version of Hell) forever. You will know what the mark is after it is introduced after the Rapture happens.

“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”” (Revelation‬ ‭14:9-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

When all these things happen, you will know that the words in this note are true. At that time, believe and confess Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, and hold on to that confession no matter how tough things get. We will see you again after the seven years, when Jesus returns with us to save Israel from destruction!

God loves you so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on a cross as an atoning sacrifice for your sins. Our God is a righteous and holy judge who has to punish sins, but He does not want you to be punished. Jesus is the only way you can be saved.

Do you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and receive the precious gift of eternal life? I’m inviting you to say this prayer: https://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/salvation

Let Jesus be your Goal

“Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.” (Hebrews‬ ‭12:1-3‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

It is easier to do tasks well when there is a goal to focus on, especially for projects that need lots of time to complete—your morale can dip after many days of repetition with minimal progress.

The world teaches goal setting, but their goals are things like milestones. We have something much more powerful.

We are taught to “look unto Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith”—He is our goal to focus on.

No matter what race you’re running in this season, when you feel weary and like you’re going to faint in your soul (mind, will and emotions), “consider Him”. Think about Jesus as revealed in the Scriptures and aim to be like Him. Then, do your task as worship unto Him.

“even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.” (Acts‬ ‭10:38‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

While He was on earth, Jesus went about doing good in the power of the Holy Spirit. He foiled the works of the devil. Jesus didn’t rely on His own divinity, but fully submitted to the Father’s will and depended on the power of the Holy Spirit. He did this to teach us how to live by faith in obedience to God.

When you feel discouraged, you can think, “What would Jesus do in this situation? My goal is to be like Jesus.”

The answer will come, and then you can straightaway receive the empowerment from the Holy Spirit to walk in that reality.

For example, let’s say that you’re a parent who is dealing with an unmotivated child who doesn’t want to study for his exams.

Your flesh may be tempted to feel angry or discouraged when you’re trying your best to teach him and he’s not even taking it seriously.

Pause and focus on Jesus, seeing Him as your goal. What would Jesus do? He would be very patient and loving in teaching your child, and He would have the wisdom to know exactly what would motivate your child. Perhaps there are underlying reasons for this behavior.

After knowing these, you can pray and receive the fruits of patience and love from the Holy Spirit, as well as any knowledge and wisdom to discern underlying causes for being unmotivated in studies.

Another scenario: It is a busy season at work. Your colleague at work suddenly talks very rudely to you, snapping at you and blaming you for her stress.

Your may feel that surge of indignation and anger rising up in your flesh, driving you to shout back at her.

Take a deep breath and focus on Jesus. What would Jesus do? Like how He spoke to Martha who was occupied with much serving, Jesus knew that she was stressed out because she was relying on her own strength to serve. He didn’t shout at her, He understood.

Then pray to have an understanding, patient and magnanimous heart like Jesus, not taking offense at those who lack the revelation of relying on the grace of God. Working only by the flesh leads to stress and burnout. You’ll realize that you won’t get angry, and instead become compassionate and empathetic.

It is good to have a goal to help you focus and perform your tasks better in life. Let Jesus always be that goal. Steadily look to Him and rely on the Holy Spirit to supply the power to live like Jesus. This is a very practical way to experience more peace, joy and fruitfulness in your life!

有些人會說：「如果朝鮮不是獨裁國家的話，為什麼不給外國旅客自由行呢？為什麼大部分電腦都沒連上境外的互聯網呢？」我希望那些人從不同的角度來思考這些問題。二戰期間的同盟國會開放自己的國家給德國、意大利和日本觀光客自由行嗎？別忘了，朝鮮戰爭只有停火，沒有停戰。

假如互聯網是在 1930 年代的德國發明的，而非 20 世紀下半葉的美國，而德國情報機構能暗中監督和控制一切連上該網路的任何設備（正如斯諾登透露美國國安局所做的那樣），同盟國會讓一般老百姓連上同個互聯網嗎？還是他們會跟朝鮮一樣建設自己的網路？

朝鮮是個小國家。雖然它從 1953 年一直呼籲正式停戰，但它從 1950 年到現在一直與大部分西方國家處於戰爭狀態。只要戰爭狀態不變，這些政策不是「反自由」的，而是任何理性的政府（無論是資本主義國家還是社會主義國家）會施行的防禦性措施。



誰是朋友？誰是敵人？
Who are our friends? Who are our enemies?

我們能否 追究這個問題而不自欺欺人
Can we look into this question without lying to ourselves?

誰的盟友？誰的利潤？
Whose allies? Whose profits?

是誰激於義憤而爭鬥和犧牲
Whose struggle and sacrifice are stirred by righteous indignation?


1.
饒舌的激進份子 被說是憤世
The radical rapper is said to be cynical.

我只想引人深思 和去偽存實
I just want to get people to think, cast aside falsities, and retain the truths,

因為從小到大有太多虛偽人士
because througout our lives, too many hypocrites

灌輸錯誤認識 使人愚昧無知
have instilled false understandings, causing us to ignorantly

地無視 顯而易見 的壓迫和暴行
disregard the clearly visible oppression and atrocities,

使人固執己見 而失去批判思考力
causing us to stubbornly cling to our own opinions and lose our ability to think critically.

一旦遇到陌生的意見 認知就失調
When we encounter unfamiliar opinions, we experience cognitive dissonance.

變本加厲地延伸原本的錯誤視角
Doubling down on our mistaken views

成為了心理防禦機制 也使我們無意識地
has become a psychological defense mechanism which causes us to unknowingly

成為壓迫自己的體制的棋子
become pawns of the system that oppresses us

即使我們自以為自己是正義的義士
although we think of ourselves as just and morally courageous people,

但其實是我們迷失於斷章取義的歷史
it is actually us who are lost in deliberately misinterpreted history.

而敵視 並歧視 被壓迫的各國人民
We vilify and discriminate against the oppressed peoples of all countries;

自以為仁義 卻把壓迫者 奉若神明
we think we are righteous, yet we deify the oppressors.

不分明侵略和防禦只要求無條件的和平
We don't differentiate between aggression and defense, we simply ask for unprincipled peace,

得到奴隸主的肯定不過不被他們尊敬
gaining the approval of slave masters but not their respect.


2.
監禁率最高的國家被當作自由象徵
The country with the highest incarceration rate is considered to be a symbol of freedom;

最常推翻民選政府的它被當作摯友良朋
we call it our friend as it leads in overthrowing democratically elected governments.

我們只有盲人摸象般稱頌或貶斥
We make praises and criticisms based on conclusions made from bad information,

偏執地不檢視騙子掩飾的現實
stubbornly refusing to investigate the truths hidden by liars.

別人飢餓 我們說是領導人無人性
When others starve, we say their leaders are devoid of humanity

卻不記得制裁的目的 是經過餓死人民
while failing to remember that the goal of sanctions is to sabotage stability

破壞穩定 以迫使 革命群眾 放棄革命
through starvation in order to extort the revolutionary masses into giving up revolution.

如果這不是恐怖主義 那麼你的定義可能有問題
If this isn't terrorism, then your definition might be flawed.

我問你 唯一動用核武器的到底是誰？
I ask you, who is the only one to have used nuclear weapons?

為何朝鮮發展核武就被認為是罪？
Why is it considered a crime when (DPR) Korea develops nukes?

誰的奴性思維被支配得顛倒是非
Whose slave mentality's been been dominated to the point where right and wrong are inverted,

使我們把自衛視為威脅 把威脅視為慈悲？
having us believe defense is threatening and threats are benevolent?

是誰不知不覺地在重複戈培爾所起草
Who unknowingly repeats lies written by Goebbels

的流言蜚語的同時說別人被洗腦
while at the same time calling others brainwashed,

並對用著堅如鐵的毅力英勇地起義
while unreasonably being hostile towards those who use their iron-firm willpower

驅逐侵略者的人民無理地壞有敵意？
to heroically drive out aggressors through rebellion?

#朝鮮 #DPRK #Korea

"Mad Democracy"
Composed by Kevin Chen
Lyrics written by Yvonne Yang and Keith Menconi
Arranged by Greedy Black Hole

Lyrics:

Oh what’s the matter
Rebellion rising against the ruler
Indignation rising higher
Revolting against the power

Antagonistic colors
Disunite us with sly words
We must stick to our faith
Stay united. Stay strong.

Mad democracy
Restore what you’ve ruined

What went wrong
What led us here
When did we lose the ability to respect one another
When did we stop listening
This is no justice
This is pure madness
Remember we are one
We need no wars

Oh what’s the matter
Mr. president don’t you hear
So arrogant they all are
As they play the game of silence

Antagonistic colors
Disunite us with sly words
We must stick to our faith
Stay united. Stay strong.

Mad democracy
Restore what you’ve ruined

What went wrong
What led us here
When did we lose the ability to respect one another
When did we stop listening
This is no justice
This is pure madness
Remember we are one
We need no wars

Heal the wounds
Heal the pain
Recover from the trauma they have made
Lead us to a better life
Search for true justice
Away from the madness
Remember we are one
Remember who the enemies are

Don’t let them tear us apart
Don’t let them blind your heart
Cast your anger away
This is our home not your battle field
Remember we are one
