Over half a million Croats make a National Vow to God at Marko Perkovic Thompson Concert

The Croatian nationalist rock singer Marko Perkovic Thompson held the largest concert in human history on Saturday night in Zagreb, with more than half a million people attending. Thompson, who is banned from performing in several countries, including the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Bosnia, started off his concert by thanking everyone in attendance, calling upon Europe as a whole to repent and turn to Christ. Following an hour of music, a retired bishop led the massive crowd in a prayer intended to accompany Thompson’s song Maranatha, a song structured as a prayer asking God to come into the land of the Croats and remain present with them perpetually.

Later in the concert Thompson quoted from Joshua 24:15: “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." He called upon the half a million Croats in attendance to raise their arms in the air and repeat the passage after him a number of times as a national vow to the Lord.

Towards the end of the concert Thompson praised Generation Z, which represented the bulk of those in attendance, for their steadfastness in maintaining their Christian Nationalist convictions even in the midst of a massive subversive propaganda onslaught by the leftist media and entertainment industry. He told them that they are now ready to take the mantle from the previous generations.

The atmosphere was both joyful and peaceful throughout, with not a single incident of conflict or violence even with well over 500,000 in attendance, which is truly a testimony to the Lord's presence among his people.

That Croatian Christian Nationalists organized the largest concert ever and used the opportunity to openly vow to live in national obedience to God is truly inspirational. May the Croats continue to grow from strength to strength and may the Croat people truly repent so that the Lord can heal their land (II Chronicles 7:14).
