27. What i say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
28. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him who can destroy both the body and the soul in hell (Gehenna).
ever since '98 when I first heard mark j. I always thought he was unique,original and real with his raps, now here it is 13 years later and he still go hard!!! God bless you, mark j.
woow, i was speechless for a total minute or 2 i hoped a miracle would happen, :S it really touched me.. I don't wanna end up like this.. If i have to i have no choice, but i wanna be gods servant by touching people with dance or sumtin like that.. Being martyred seems really awful, 14 year old i hope god gives me courage to face whatever comes on my road.. Thankyou lord..
I was truly left speechless after listening to this song! I've tried to listen to other songs, but this has overpowered any others I wanted to listen to. I usually don't comment on videos, but I purposely signed into my account JUST to comment on this video. The message in this song is BEYOND powerfule, and encouraging!
I think the bigger question this video poses to me is when you throw in the military imagery, is he dying as a Christian martyr or because he is involved in a senseless war meant not to spread Christian values but American democracy? The clip is thought provoking but kinda misguided.
@states37 If he had been a tourist who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, he still could have ended up in the same predicament. Him being a soldier was more a matter of circumstance. The fact that they told him to denounce Jesus in front of the camera or die, instead of some political statement, says his faith had more to do with his death than his citizenship. Whether they would have spared him if he read the statement is more questionable.
@hippiebutnot That makes sense. However, is that what the clip leads up to, his denouncing his faith? What concerns me is that there is alot of glorifying of being in the military. That Afghanistan war is not a crusade.
Wow. Powerful song accompanied by a great visual depiction. Excellent work fellas. Times are real. Persecution is on the rise. We need to strengthen our faith daily as believers. Our prayers go out to everyone in the armed forces. Keep goin' hard for the kingdom!!
uh... how come the Lord let him get his head cut off? He dedicated his life to "Him" and this is his reward? No thanks. Might as well have prayed to the Easter Bunny... oh wait- maybe Jesus IS the easter bunny! that's why we celebrate his return by hunt for easter eggs . Yeah, it all makes sense now.
@jc2k all but one of the disciples were killed themselves because of their testimonies and proclamation of God. It's not about getting saved and comfort in this life, but the life to come. It sounds like you don't believe in that, but please do the research and consider the lives lived by those who lived with Jesus during his ministry. Their dedication to death is much more than one would have for an easter bunny. peace and love.
@jc2k the Bible teaches in 1 john 5: 12; that he who hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. The clip as well as Jesus Christ teaches that nothing can separate the Christian from God either in death or life. So in death or in this present life living and/or dying for Christ we will still be with God! The easter bunny (a pagan celebration and symbol) has nothing to do with Christ , hence "His return" has nothing to do with easter eggs but judgment on the wicked
When I was young I used to think that when I read that the righteous need not fear, that it meant that nothing bad would ever happen as long as I was righteous...oh what a foolish child I was. The righteous need not fear, just like the soldier before his slaying, because the righteous will be welcomed home into a loving father's arms, something we should all strive for.
Thank you For bringing to light the reality we face every day when we put on this uniform. Also for believers’ in uniform we face everything in that video from a spiritual standpoint daily. I would ask that anyone reading this would continue to pray for our men and women in uniform. Regardless of your view on the war, these men and women are somebody’s child, parent, brother or sister, friend.
In love,
Anthony Nelson, SSgt, USAF, Basic Still Photography Instructor,Defense Information School
I would ask you, the next time you see a military member (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine, Coast Guard) or family of a military member, grab them by the hand and personally shake their hand and tell them thank you for your service. Next give them a giant warm hug. This time of the year can sometimes be a depressing time, some military members can related to the numbers I listed earlier ( see list) in relation to someone who “was that guy or girl” who lost their life.
As I watched the video, I could only think about the family, friends , and people I have met in life and If I was in that situation the people I would be leaving behind. This type of violence is very much a reality for those who are serving in harm’s way fighting to defend the freedoms we have here in the USA.
The reason why I listed these 15 things that Identify a little about myself is because the video along with the lyrics affected me in all of these areas. Like I stated previously I am a believer and follower of the Lord. I am also in the military and have served in deployed areas. I have worked with all sorts of special forces and combat teams over my career, so not only is this video accurate but a reality we see too often in the military.
(Tears...) First of all, I'm trying to gather my composure to comment on this video. Anyone reading this may or may not know who I am, let me begin to tell you. 1. Believer in the Lord Jesus 2 “Military Service Member” Currently serving in the United States Air Force (Active Duty 2003 till current date) 3 Husband 4 Father 5 Brother 6 Son 7 Uncle 8 Cousin 9 Grandson 10 Friend/Mentor/Supervisor 11 License Minister 12 Artist/Rapper 13 Leader 14 Servant 15 Teacher/Instructor
Outstanding video! This is an eye opening reminder that "to live is Christ and to die is gain."(Philippians 1:21) The martyrdom of one man, caused another to pick up a Bible, and possibly come to the faith. The question that Mark J now poses is, "are you willing to die for what you believe?"
I think one of the terrorist picks up the bible to try and figure out what is it about this JESUS that this man is willing to lay his life down instead of denoucing CHRIST and living.
Wow... talk about Christ-like. To be Christ-like is to die for Christ like He died for us. My Spirit is enjoyed. I'm still tingling. Rom. (14:7-) "For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. (8) For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. (9) For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living." "Jesus is LORD"-zacchaeus
This vid is such a strong powerful statement showing us the cause we should be willing to die for!! Great quality and great message fam!! Thx 4 this Kingdom reminder!!
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans" 8:38-39
wow...powerful music video. really quite thought provoking. what I would I do if I were placed in the same situation: would I continue to proclaim Jesus as Lord and Savior or denounce my faith in Him, the only true Savior?

Listen up people, this is what the video is about:
1. Sho Baraka (the son) is in the Armed Forces.
2. Terrorists capture him.
3. They demand he renounce Jesus.
4. He refuses, and dies for the faith.
5. In the end, the terrorist picks up the Bible and most likely gets converted because of the example Sho put fort.
This shows that God can turn the worst circumstances in to gains.
