Cannibalism in North Korea?

As we sit on our sofas in America, surfing on our computers and digesting our evening meal in front of the fire....most of the REST of the world is wondering where their next meal is coming from.

Some in North Korea have even resorted to eating other people because they have become so desperate.

While it’s certainly not the first allegation of cannibalism to come from North Korea, it’s equally as disturbing as those that preceded it. Troubling reports of a rise in starvation — and cannibalism — have emerged inside of a nation that continues to be intensely-secretive and shut off from the wider global community. According to an independent outlet called Asia Press, North Koreans are so desperate that they are increasingly turning to corpses and even murdering their own children for food.

One man allegedly dug up his grandchild’s corpse and ate it. Another purportedly killed and boiled his child for food. Of late, yet another individual has reportedly been executed for killing two of his children for the same purposes.

“In my village in May a man who killed his own two children and tried to eat them was executed by a firing squad,” one informant said of the latter incident.

 

According to the source, the father killed his daughter while his wife was away on business. Then, he killed the son because the latter child had witnessed his sister’s murder. When the wife came back from her trip, her husband said that they now had “meat.” After becoming suspicious, she contacted authorities who later discovered parts of the children’s bodies.

If this is true, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that folks got so desperate that they cooked and ate their children.

 

Let's turn to the Bible and see what God said as he warned the Israelites against disobedience and the curses that it would bring.

 

Deuteronomy 28:53-57

⁵³ Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you. ⁵⁴ Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, ⁵⁵ and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. ⁵⁶ The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter ⁵⁷ the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.

 

Can you imagine???...getting to a point in life where you hide your afterbirth and baby so that you can eat it in secret so you don't need to share the meat?  No....I don't think we can.  Of course the Israelites also didn't believe this warning given to them BEFORE they entered the promised land.

 

But God doesn't lie...and when the Israelites turned to other gods...the curses came true.

 

2 Kings 6:28-29

²⁶ As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”

²⁷ The king replied, “If the Lord does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?” ²⁸ Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?”

She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’ ²⁹ So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.”

When man is starving, it can make his brain go mad.

Of course some folks are reading this saying, "That could NEVER happen to me!  I would NEVER do anything so heinous EVEN IF I WAS starving, cold and scared."

Be careful what we say because the Bible tells us there is nothing new under the sun.  What has happened before WILL happen again.  So what we are seeing in North Korea has already happened before....and sadly, as evidence of the nearness of The Great Tribulation continues to gather...we KNOW that it will happen again during the last 7 years on earth before Christ returns.

Thank you Jesus that YOUR BRIDE will not be left on earth to endure this incredible wrath.
