I recently had a conversation with my family about the international situation. My family strongly criticized President Trump’s airstrike on Iran, calling it a violation of international law and an act of interference in another country’s internal affairs. During the conversation, I wanted to point out that Iran’s election fraud cartel and the Revolutionary Guards were behind the interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election and the assassination attempt on the president. However, I felt deeply embarrassed by their apparent indifference to the essence of global affairs, despite their pride in being part of the social elite.
I explained the reality facing Iranian citizens and the positions of the U.S. and the international community as calmly as possible. I also added why the collapse of the Iranian regime would be a just outcome. It was truly disheartening to see them remain indifferent to the suffering of Iranian citizens—who have been deprived of their freedom for 47 years under Khamenei’s dictatorship—while being swept up in the narrative of certain media outlets and raising their voices only in condemnation.
However, I was suddenly reminded of the truth that God works through the humble. I confess that until just a few years ago, I myself did not fully understand all these facts. I felt a sense of caution that while ignorance can be a sin before God, arrogance toward others is an even greater sin. Resolving not to condemn or judge anyone, I quietly recommended an interview video with Model Hoda Nikou, who shed light on the reality of Iran.
I then gained deep insight through the broadcast “Kim Chae-hwan’s Current Affairs”. Although he is not a pastor, his explanation that freedom of the press, assembly, and expression stems directly from the Christian spirit of reading the Bible and worshiping was very clear. He was posing sharp questions to the pastors of large churches who remain silent or evade the core issues, as well as to the cowardly “fake pacifists.” His warning—that if the church does not wake up, South Korea will embark on an irreversible path toward communism—pierced my heart, accompanied by the question, “Is this truly the behavior of those entrusted with God’s Word?”
Fortunately, pastors who are awake are raising their voices, primarily on YouTube, to rouse the congregation. The next generation—young people and students—have also already awakened and are pouring out into the streets. Whether God will judge this land like Sodom and Gomorrah or restore it like Nineveh ultimately depends on “the prayers of the righteous and their number.”
Carrying this anguish, I awoke at 4 a.m. this morning and meditated on 1 Peter 5:7: “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” ” This verse was a great comfort to me. As I watched the deaconesses coming out for early morning prayer and crying out earnestly, I was convinced that the strength keeping South Korea from collapsing and sustaining its freedom comes precisely from the tears of these praying people.
Today, too, I am writing this to awaken even one more person and am starting the day with vigor.
Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6–7)
