Nagasaki: The Chosen Sacrifice
A Survivor’s Testimony
In the aftermath of the atomic bombing, Nagasaki became a harrowing landscape—a poignant example of human suffering. One survivor, whose words echo through the devastated ruins, addressed his community as they grappled with profound loss.
“I have heard that the atom bomb was destined for another city. Heavy clouds rendered that target impossible. The American crew then headed for the secondary target, Nagasaki. When a mechanical problem arose, the bomb was dropped further north than planned, bursting right above the cathedral. It was not the American crew who chose our suburb; God’s Providence chose Urakami.”
The Profound Connection
The survivor went on to draw a captivating connection between the destruction of his city and the larger fabric of World War II. “Is there not a profound relationship between the annihilation of Nagasaki and the end of the war? Was not Nagasaki the chosen victim, the lamb without blemish sacrificed as a burnt offering?”
He referenced the biblical notion of sacrifice, suggesting that through this sacrifice, peace was granted to the world, along with religious freedom to Japan. “Happy are those who weep; they shall be comforted. We must walk the way of reparation,” he urged, encouraging everyone to look towards spiritual solace.
A Call for Reflection
He concluded with a sentiment that resonates deeply: “The Lord has given, the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Let us be thankful that Nagasaki was chosen for this whole burnt sacrifice.”
Conclusion: A Contemplative Question
This powerful perspective invites us to reflect on the complexities of sacrifice and redemption in times of great turmoil. What do you think of this survivor’s view? How can we find meaning in suffering? We’d love to hear your thoughts. Please leave a comment below.
When I hear this type of strength in the belief of Christ from others, I'm ashamed of being lukewarm in my belief.
Only a relationship with Christ could justify killing a city as a sacrifice. An atheist would just call that evil.
Beautiful. Beautiful hear. Thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Lord, bring Jonathan and entire cast & crew of The Chosen, and Tucker, and all their families INTO THE FULLNESS OF YOUR SALVATION AND FULFILL THEIR DESTINIES WRITTEN IN YOUR BOOKS ❤❤❤

I've never heard this speech and wow!!! It brought chill and tears to me!!! Everyone should hear this speech!!!! Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!
No, Nagasaki was not the chosen lamb without blemish. Not even close. But Jesus was.
Pray for peace and justice for Palestine and the world. End Zio ism!
Wow 😯That’s deep
Well that's one way to look at it…
THE SAVAGE IRONY IS SATANISTS picked those two cities to target Catholicism in Japan. Why would God martyrise hundreds of thousands of Catholics? That’s like saying “evil Germans were appointed by God to martyrise Jews as a holy sacrifice”.
wow
Wow…
Powerful
Thats a fucked up thing to say to thirsty people whos skin is melting
So…@fittestflatearther says that THIS is actually Chris Cornell…and that EVERY "famous" person doesn't really die…they just move on to a different "role" to play…What do y'all think ??
AMEN 🙏 🙏
DISGUSTING to do Evil while pretending to have Almighty Gods Blessing!!!😡😡😡 That saying "God gives and God takes away" was a wrong understanding by Job. Yet it continues to be misquoted.
Amazing
Any blood sacrifice after Jesus is sacrilegious. This guy is wrong!
