The North Korean ideology of “juchae” is a counterfeit religion of biblical worship of God. In their doctrine, songs, and slogans, they have basically exchanged the name of God for the names of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, and Kim Jong Un. Instead of worshiping God, the North Korean people are taught to revere and worship the Kims from their birth. Praying for the deliverance of North Korea is personal to me as its people are of same heritage as mine before the World War II, and has been separated by two different political powers and ideologies. May the Lord break and bring down its powers and set its people free as He has done many times in past with other kingdoms that stood proudly against God. May God rain down His grace and mercy like rain and bring spiritual revival in the land.

“Our juchae ideology is similar to the Christian Bible, and then North Korean regime hates that people find out the true God which is Christianity and through the Bible.” (Grace Jo)

“You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” (Exo.20:3-7)

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.” (2 Cor.10:3-6)

“…and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, 10and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.” (1 Thess.1:9-10)
