But is it actually worship, you say? Rodong Sinmun , North Korea's propaganda mill, says:

"The Korean people absolutely worship, trust and follow the General as god... The General is the mental pillar and the eternal sun to the Korean people... They are upholding him as their great father and teacher, united around him in ideology, morality and obligation. So, their life is a true, fruitful and precious life without an equal in history."

Korea Today News talks about mysterious phenomena in connection with Mr. Unprecedented. Supposedly on a certain day the Secretary's arrival at his office brought a clearing of the fog, and the blooming of two apricot trees! Conclusion: "Kim Jong Il is the famous general produced by heaven."

Whether it is the Pope calling himself "Lord God" and "Holy Father", or a Muslim exalting his Son-less god five times a day, or a modern North Korean head of state, fostering praises to a false god will only bring down curses on a people eventually. When the cup is full, the world will see how smart it is to go after anyone but Jehovah. We must pray and work for the Koreans to hear of the true God who loves them for their own sakes, and wants to live with them forever, the God and Man Christ Jesus.
