      I have something very important to tell you!
      ❤JESUS ​​LOVES YOU! ❤
      ▪ We are all sinners, because all have sinned and lack the glory of God.
      ▪Everyone was lost, so God Great in Love gave His Son Jesus, to come into the world, die for humanity and forgive our sins.
      ▪Jesus lived among us, like us, but without sin, and one day they took Jesus, wounded him and placed him on the cross, and there He died. On the third day, the Lord Jesus rose, ascended to heaven and is alive, sitting at the right hand of God, and one day he will return to seek those who have accepted him in their hearts.
      ▪Now God says: receive, believe in Him, put your trust and faith in Him, I will forgive your sins, and I will guarantee you Eternal Life in heaven, all of this is yours and for free.
      All you need to do is receive !.

      ○ In the Holy Bible it is written in 1 John 1: 9,
      If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of all our sins and to cleanse us from any injustice.
      ○ Jesus loves you, He wants to have a relationship with you, save you from eternal damnation and give you eternal life with Him in heaven, you can be saved! Believe Him and obey His word.

    Loved the video! I'm a Grenadian born & bred :)
    I appreciate the research that was put into this and the amount of accurate information that was shared about the beautiful Spice Isle. :)
    With our revolution however, basically a faction of his own party wanted to take control & so killed & imprisoned some of his die hard supporters & took over the country.
    The U.S had been watching Grenada for a while due to their buddy buddy status with Cuba (who they were enemies with) & so now had an opportunity to come into the island & "intervene". Many were killed & there were other negative effects, but they did stop the revolution in Grenada.
    Kiriani James is actually Kirani James and the music soca, is pronouced "sow-cah".
    Any whose again I enjoy the channel! Keep it up :v

I've been in the U.S all my life but I booked my first flight out of the country later this year to Norway and these videos get me pumped to explore cultures that are different than what I see every day here.

    Grenada is a sovereign state in the West Indies in the Caribbean Sea at the southern end of the Grenadines island chain. Grenada consists of the island of Grenada itself plus six smaller islands which lie to the north of the main island. It is located northwest of Trinidad and Tobago, northeast of Venezuela and southwest of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Its size is 348.5 square kilometres (134.6 sq mi), and it had an estimated population of 112,200 in July 2018. Its capital is St. George's. Grenada is also known as the "Island of Spice" due to its production of nutmeg and mace crops. The national bird of Grenada is the critically endangered Grenada dove.

Two big country with great diversities IN A ROW like India and Indonesia, two islamic country that most western media saw it biasly IN A ROW AGAIN like Iran and Iraq, country like Ireland, one famous country with great culture and history like Italy, and that controversial country that mostly hated by almost every islamic country in the world which is Israel. Probably only Iceland that will be easy for you and Ivory Coast is the only obscure country in this letter.

    One inaccuracy that you had was that the medical students you mentioned that wanted to be rescued actually requested that BECAUSE of the impending US invasion, not because of a lack of safety where they were in Grenada. The intervention was a violation of international law and probably shouldn’t be celebrated.

      ▪ We are all sinners, because all have sinned and lack the glory of God.

    just wanted to point out to people... Maurice Bishop was loved by a lot of Grenadians, its easy to take this brief gloss over as he was some kinda of dictator or something. His death was just a reason for the US to send troops and quell a movement. But regardless the ones who murdered him, were not good people, and were not gonna be able to lead like he could. I advise you to look him up on youtube and watch him speak, very intelligent man. Geography Now is a blessing...

    Your comments about Maurice Bishop are distasteful. He was a great man who fought for the people, helped build the small island's economy and literacy in short 4 years more than the British did in their 300 years of colonial control. Under his leadership Grenada "almost" became a shining beacon for other nations coming out from under European domination. If Maurice Bishop was so hated why is the international airport in his name? You should find out the true story and not spread Reagan era propaganda.

      @michakosek9314 6 років тому +3

      Sean R That's exactly what the video says. They killed him, so they were obviously hardliners. Maurice didn't want to join the Soviet bloc, so he was clearly more moderate. I still can't see what was so "distasteful" in what Barby said about Bishop.

    • @TheDIZZYCLAN

    Loved the video of my Island home for 3 years! Did want to mention that it's probably inaccurate to say Grenada is right in the middle of hurricane territory. Yes they do get hit occasionally but it's further south than the path of the majority of Atlantic hurricanes. Not to say it doesn't happen, as recent events prove, but the video makes it sound like it's a frequent occurence and it really isn't. Great video though, heavily enjoyed, made me miss it!

    You shouldn't say "Grenada is still classified as a Commonwealth" you sshould say "Grenada is still classified as a member of The Commonwealth". The Commonwealth of Nations is an international organisation that countries are part of, not some sort of special country designation. I think the confusion comes from the fact that the word 'commonwealth' is also used a name for a type of polity such as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the Commonwealth of Australia (Which even more confusingly is both a commonwealth itself and a member of The Commonwealth)

      Thats an american accent way of pronouncing it.. In Canada we pronounce more in the style of the british way so we pronounce O like AW or OH and their version of O sounds more like AH in general closer to the lips..(especially if youre from boston)... so we say gAWD or gOHd (which sounds more british) where americans tend to pronounce it like GAHwd its just a regional accent thing....or sORry and they pronounce the same word without the ORRRR (hard consonant R sound) but with an AW.. (again this influence came from Boston where the Rs were dropped so the O sound moved to more of the front of the pallet to sound like AH) so candians would say SORRY SAWry...while bostonians drop the R completely like drop Ya AHs instead of drop youR Rs... its just a regional accent thing that started in eastern america and then sort of influenced how they pronounced other vowels like OH (turning them into more AH type) so in a nutshell he is pronouncing it correctly given his accent... which affects how the sound of the vowels are communicated when speaking.
