Vietnam is home to an estimated 7 million Catholics

I only list the visiting countries to this site in Alphabetical order in the side column.
But if they were ranked by number of visits in the past 12 months, Vietnam comes in 5th. Very surprising to me because of the language barrier, although the site has a translate feature.
Ranking as of today (Top 10):
🇺🇸 United States 262K visits; 🇸🇬 Singapore 85.6K; 🇧🇷 Brazil 46.8K; 🇩🇪 Germany 46.6K; 🇻🇳 Vietnam 38K; 🇭🇰 Hong Kong 23.4K; 🇮🇳 India 21.6K; 🇧🇩 Bangladesh 17.1K; 🇫🇷 France 17K; 🇮🇩 Indonesia 14.7K...

Does it surprise me? Honestly yes. But, God works in mysterious ways.
I hail from France, and to see France in the list does not surprise me, as I went to Catholic church in France.
To see United States, also doesn't surprise me, I live there and the site is in English. United States accounts for 1/4 of the visits.
May God bless all of you from all nations in Christ.

I am curious. If you are from Vietnam, in what language are your Bibles printed?
You may comment as Anonymous, as the site permits it. And I'll find a way to read it by translating if necessary.

Why did God only send prophets to Israel?

They say: "Why did God only send prophets to Israel? Millions died without knowing God's ways."
Abraham learned of God through Shem, (yes Shem was alive when Abraham was in his 30's) and followed God's ways.
What about Ham and Japheth? They saw the world before and after the Flood. They too knew who the Creator was and of his power.
Japheth's descendants were the most enlarged in numbers and in real estate. The Chinese (Japhetites) worshiped Shang-Di they called the creator God. Their ancient writing characters, literally depict Genesis.
Ham? I have very little knowledge about Africa's (the region his descendants migrated to) traditions and worship. If Canaan and his descendants give us a glimpse of their traditions...
Truth is, even without the influence of the sons of God, Israelites were still rebellious, and erred towards strange worship and strange gods.
Granted, the Lord's portion had an advange. Yet, we can see that the Chinese (probably the same for the surrounding nations), worshipped ShangDi until the 6th century BC.
The same goes for the descendants of Gomer a son of Japheth, they are up to this day part of those we call Jewish. Even though they hail from North West Europe, they kept their beliefs for a long time, but then somehow upgraded to the Babylonian/Talmudic influence.

(ESV) Deuteronomy 32:5 They have dealt corruptly with him; they are no longer his children because they are blemished; they are a crooked and twisted generation.
6 Do you thus repay the LORD, you foolish and senseless people? Is not he your father, who created you, who made you and established you?
7 Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
9 But the LORD’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage.

After Babel, God divided the nations and sent them away in different directions, under the supervision of the 'sons of God' (principalities), but kept to himself the lineage of Arphaxad son of Shem.
Shem; Arphaxad; ..; Peleg; ..; Terah; Abraham; Isaac; Jacob (renamed Israel).
But most of the world did not have the Torah (God's law given to Moses). Israelites were to be a nation of priests. A holy nation meant to guide the world towards God's Ways, and that's why they were given the Torah. Over centuries, they failed and failed again to be the Holy nation to be an example to the world. That is why God made a New Covenant with the World, through his Son Christ Jesus.

Fifth and Sixth Trumpet

Revelation 9

1 Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.
3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.
8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.
9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle.
10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
12 One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.

13 Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.
16 Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.
18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.
19 For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.
20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.
21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

All Flesh Was Corrupt

Genesis 6

Chinese Character for Corrupt

1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
16 You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
17 And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.
18 But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
20 Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.
21 And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”
22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

Cubit: ancient unit of linear measure, originally equal to the length of the forearm from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow, or about 18 inches (46 centimeters).

Moses (Israelite of Levi, 1500 BC.);
