    I can't imagine what a feeling is this (especially for those from south). On the one side it is a happy moment as it is a reunion after so many years. But it is just for a moment and people from north have to come back there and probably they will never meet again. How hard it has to be for South Koreans as they don't really know in what conditions live members of their families but they know that they are unable to do anything with it...

But all of it will mean nothing when great tribulation comes upon them ending in the confiscation of their Power, nations, and kingdoms. The kingdom of God is truly at hand. In case you don’t know, the Bible is real and true, and many prophecies are being fulfilled, right before our eyes. Repent, accept The Lord Jesus Christ as your savior and redeemer. And you will be saved. The days of this world are indeed numbered. But only God knows the exact day and hour that it will end.

    December 15, 2021, these scenes are playing out in New Zealand, as Auckland(largest city) opens its borders to allow residents to visit relatives for Christmas. Some are vowing never to return to Auckland, with threats the police will hunt them down. Facebook footage today just like in this video. Family members separated, beside themselves seeing family members for the first time.
    The grief of missing a relative who died the previous day, people breaking down, unable to stand.
    One woman tried to break thru the border 2 days ago whose daughter on the outside gave birth to an unfortunately critical ill baby. The baby kept alive so the grandmother could visit. She didn't make it. Authorities captured her and returned her to Auckland.

      Learn some history, you lazy bum. NK had been begging, BEGGING, for bilateral meeting with US presidents ever since current Kim's father was in power. Both GW Bush and Obama refused it because that would legitimize the regime. They wanted the North's promise to give up its nuclear program first. So when the dotard agreed to meet with Kim, and without first obtaining that promise, it was a capitulation by US. What did US or S.Korea get out of the meeting? It was nothing but a big propaganda win for Kim, and of course gave the dotard something to brag about at home to keep fooling idiots like you.

      Isn't it Fuuny? The leader of United Staes made Korea separated in 1953. Now Korean people praise the leader of United States in 2018. What an ironic.

      It'll be their last reunion because they're old and will die soon.
