Is it too much of a stretch to apply this same principle to nations? Is not Satan the "prince of this world" ? Is there not a hierarchy of demon powers with which angelic powers struggle for the lives of nations? (The apostle Paul and the prophet Daniel agree.)

If one day North Korea is delivered from its present oppression, what shall follow? Shall Satan be allowed to re-enter in another form?

One scenario I have heard more than once is an invasion by the Moonies! Quoting a brother in North Korea ministry (who shall go unnamed on this site):

"The Unification Church is an aberrant cult that was founded in 1954 by [Korean] Sun Myung Moon. Moon claims to be the messiah of the Second Coming and that his wife is the Holy Spirit. He and his wife, called the "True Parents" claim to be the first couple to be able to bring forth children with no original sin. The Unification Church claims to have 4.5 million ‘full-time' followers...

"Moon is also head of a huge empire worth billions of dollars...

"...Moon was born in North Korea and thus has great interest in seeing his homeland ‘evangelized' under his cult. He has been actively pursuing inroads into North Korea since 1991 as described by The Los Angeles Times:

"The unlikely relationship between the Unification Church and North Korea dates back to 1991, when Moon visited North Korea's founder and chief ideologue, Kim Il Sung. That paved the way for Moon, an archconservative who nonetheless supports dialogue with the North, to buy two hotels in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, including the 161-room Potonggang, which boasts of being the only hotel in the isolated country with satellite television. The North Koreans also allowed Moon's followers to develop Jongju, the northwestern town where Moon was born, into a pilgrimage site- another coup for the Unification Church because the communist nation bans all practice of religion."
