As a historian I've known the true story Dunkirk for 60 years and repeatedly told it (and many others) to my children. When the recent movie on Dunkirk came out I watched it with my grandchildren. Of course doubting that hollywood would get it right and they didn't. So I was able to tell the story of how, again, how Almighty God saved the "people of the Book". I consider the Battle of Britain and the Spanish Armada two more examples and there are many others. God has interposed Himself in His creation often, Many are in the Bible.
This post is 3 years old....yet knowing what I know now, I am truly saddened😢. We should mention that perhaps God chose to work through all those soldiers, ordered to stay and fight till the last man standing, with no rescue. To fight till death or capture while dutifully slowing down the panzer advance through calaise to Dunkirk, allowing for as many to be rescued from the beaches as we're rescued. For those captured on 26th May 1939, who spent the rest of the war in prisoner of war camps. Stallag xxa, was just one of many. And for those who endured and perished in the camps and the long march from those camps to liberation after months of marching through snow with little food or clothing!! My grandfather made it home...and I've no doubt that he thanked God on many occasions....but God rarely works alone...he works through others....and we should all remember their sacrifices along with our reverence of God.
"For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil." (1 Peter 3:12) We praise You, LORD of heaven and earth for you are good and holy!
United Kingdom go to Church …… Pray to the living and only true God…… Turn to JESUS. Give up your perversions and get down on your knees ……… before it’s too late. The wonderful missionaries from the UK brought the Word of God to India 🇮🇳 and we are so grateful to God for that.
Moses and the children of Israel were given miraculous deliverance across the Red Sea when fleeing the Egyptians in ancient times. The same Lord God answered the nations prayers led by King George the 6th in another miraculous delivery from an evil foe. Sadly this detail is largely ignored in present days accounts, and the miracle is told as an act of human endurance and innovation. Thank you Richard for giving a true account to the glory of God.
@@briendoyle4680 I'm sad that you do not believe. When you consider the universe and the miracle of procreation, I think you need to reconsider your position. See John 3:16. You can be saved & forgiven. Every blessing
Amazing story! God is always here to listen our prayers, to see our needs! We all need to join altogether for the current events in particular and worldwide.
This is a perfect example of miracles of Biblical proportions still happening today. I site examples like these when people ask me why doesn't God perform miracles today as He did in the Bible. The issue isnt that God isnt performing miracles its that people are intentionally leaving God out of the story. Thank you for telling the WHOLE story.
Thank you for sharing this miraculous story of God's mercy. I remember hearing this story more than once at my school in Ireland in the 1980s. A catholic priest told us the story and also other miraculous stories from the first and second world wars.
I knew about the English people saving their own. But I was unaware of our Loving Father making it all possible due to hearing the people of Great Britain cry out to him. Thank you so much for sharing the whole truth. Our God is great and our God saves. Amen. Thank you God.
This choked me up. Oh, how I pray that our nation once again comes to God humbly on bended knees to cry out to him for help in these times and that great multitudes are saved in the process✝️🙏🏻
Hi Thank you, I am on my knees sobbing my thanks to our mighty God and saviour Jesus His Son! I never heard this before, only ever marvelled at the film ‘Mrs. Minniver’ ! Forgive us Lord for stepping over your steadfast love! I pray for THE Prime Minister of Israel Binyamin Netanyahu to humble himself at this time of Hamas in cursive attack on the people of Israel and call for a day of solemn prayer to see the prophecy in Zechariah 12:10 come to pass! ‘ And they shall look on ME whom they pierced, and mourn for Him as for an only Son’. Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua returning soon to reign over His Creation from Jerusalem forever.
Richard , this brought tears to my eyes and erased all my fears . I saw the hand of God fighting for a people and a nation ... more so fighting for me. I saw the power of a king ruling in righteousness. Father fought for me then, at other times and will continue to fight for us even against this current peril and storm. Beautifully put together. May God bless you.
Thank you for the encouragement Linda. You are so right. God continues to work in this world even in the midst of our current crisis. We have seen so many testimonies coming in as God answers prayer for people around the world.
As much as i have studied the 2nd world war, i never knew about the sea being like glass and the rest being in a storm! Wow! I am not surprised, God tye Father will answer a single question, imagine what would happen if our nations bowed before Him again!
Beautifully described; silently narrating the follow on that when we don’t pray in huge numbers for our nation & our world - evil flourishes - as we tragically see each day on the news. Lord Jesus please forgive this global apathy, bring revival & faith to the countless unbelievers, for your merciful name’s sake. Amen. 🙏🕊️🌈
What happens when a desperate nation prays??? At Dunkirk we genuinely feared the worst, and yet it seems that God honoured the prayers that king George VI called for and intervened miraculously. The whole nation should pray again, it’s about time you remembered your faith and the one who saves.
Brilliant telling of an incredible story. The amazing thing is that the God who answered the prayers of a nation, answers us personally when we call out to Him.
What a fantastic account of this incredible event in history. "Only be careful and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them." Deuteronomy 4:9 May this vital piece of the Dunkirk story, absent from the films and omitted from most other accounts, never be forgotten.
Thank you for this video, I always knew there was more than that the historians told us. You're video proved there was so again thank you for that and greetings from the Netherlands.
I've also been moved to tears by this "revelation". The history that we were taught / read about, makes no mention of this. Thank you for informing us - it is faith bolstering, to say the least.
Great, short, historically accurate video! God has his people here, there and everywhere. Be that person! I encourage you to look into a Welsh man named Reece Howells to add to this incredible story. God is Great!
Wow, I didn't know about this. How amazing is our God He is our only hope and I believe that all humans deep down know He hs real, but sadly many won't admit this. In desperate times like this, so many turn to God, just as many did in the recent Covid outbreak. Prayer works. Our God works in mysterious ways. I will use this wonderful video in my after school Christian and history club that I run in the school that I work. Many thanks. Praise be to God. .❤
Secular fools downplay all these miraculous events as coincidence. The most recent film based on these events was so abysmally void of any of these details! This seven minute video was infinitely more honest and inspiring! Well done!
To further the truth of this miracle, the event to rescue the soldiers was called Operation Dynamo. There is a word in the bible to describe GOD's power, the Greek word dunamis from which we get our word dynamite. Part of its definition is the power to achieve by applying the LORD's inherent abilities. It's "the LORD's" power because this is one of the gifts from the Holy Spirit which was one of the results of Jesus' death burial and resurrection. It's as though GOD put HIS name on it.
What happend that day just proves God exists in my opinion, and people just forget what happend. I mean think, They had a national day of prayer then during the evacuation the weather was so bad the luftwaffe couldn't cross, and the water was famous for being you know, bad. It was so calm that they could get the navy along with tiny private boats. That's what you call a miracle, it wasn't just luck.
Beautiful. Thank you for this. I know the story, but there are more dimensions to it than I heard before that you filled in today. Rees Howells and his Bible school also stood in prayer for this period of time, covering Britain, and standing up to Hitler’s efforts. Many stories of miraculous timing and strange turnarounds. Wonderful. 🙌🏽🌿
God loves this Christian country Please call for a day of prayer now that we will be protected again but then we are no longer a Christian country .The wind changed during the armada and the Spanish ships moved or were destroyed I have read books on the miracles during the war . If we pray for guidance God will work a miracle 🙏✝️
Surely the Holy Spirit is and has been very active with signs through culture and art from Britain. We even saw that quite clearly at the Concert for the Coronation, an event specifically and closely connected with the invoking of the Spirit...
When the pride of man will not allow him to humble himself before Almighty God God know He is not wanted, He may be needed but He is not wanted. So, He leaves man to the fate his pride has chosen.
My mum bought me the book of the World at War TV series. A secular book, it refers to the miracle of Dunkirk. Not the only act of God on this nations behalf in WW2. How quickly we forget.
The scoffers and mockers who decry the rememberance of national historical events must be resisted - those that don't remember history are doomed to repeat it. I find it so sad that this nation has chosen to beat the retreat of her Christian heritage over the last 80 years.
Just compare the meteorological conditions of June 5th 1944 And June’s early days in 1940. Coincidence/Premonition : The Last Issue of the French magazine « Match » featured on its cover the picture of a French marine at Dunkirk. It was dated June 6th 1940. « Match » wouldn’t resume publication as « Paris-Match » until 1949.
Thank you Father God for real history being shared with us today. ❤️ Real history, real and true, Lord Jesus I love you ❤️ Have you heard, we have a new King of England Visit King of.UK Truth Trust Transparency and Love to everyone ❤️💞
This was not God's miracle exactly.....human,they send so many boats help enormous soldiers from beach across the sea,even civilian give their help too,when people talk about human are all evil, I disagree the most
At 9/11 there was an even bigger evacuation. Of course, people did ... But with no inspiration from the Holy Spirit they would not have done so. Some people (like me) see some of His work, many do not, sadly...
My father-in-law was one of those rescued from the beach and he told me this was absolutely true.

I find it so moving, to remember that God moved in power when the nation turned to him in prayer!
God is truly wonderful
Thank you Jesus please let the nation turn back to you xxx I can't understand why they don't love you your Wonderful
Never heard this before yet God intervened when the nation humbled itself.
"For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil." (1 Peter 3:12) We praise You, LORD of heaven and earth for you are good and holy!
Yes,God does answer prayer,l have seen it time and time again,no mistake!
Praise God-- who provides, who sustains, and protects
Let us never forget we are sons and daughters of God most high. To Him be the glory!❤

Amen 🙏🏼 Praise God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Hallelujah 🙌❤️✨👑
Just lost for words, and sad that these stories will soon be forgotten like you said.
Wow we have an amazing God!

They left behind Scottish troops who were captured by the Germans and kept in camps. He forgot to mention that bit. There is no British nation.

Amen and amen. Praise the King of kings
This is so, so good. What an awesome God we have, this makes the story of Dunkirk even more incredible!
This is great Richard - I’ve always loved this testimony and you e breathed new life into it for this generation. Thank you.

That was absolutely amazing. The King turned to "Thee King." Thank you for telling it.
Without Him, we can do nothing.
As much as i have studied the 2nd world war, i never knew about the sea being like glass and the rest being in a storm! Wow!
I am not surprised, God tye Father will answer a single question, imagine what would happen if our nations bowed before Him again!
Glory be to God!
I love you.
Have been worried about England for a while now. Thank you.
Let's get on our knees..... - from Canada
Do you mean England or the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?
Beautifully described; silently narrating the follow on that when we don’t pray in huge numbers for our nation & our world - evil flourishes - as we tragically see each day on the news.
Lord Jesus please forgive this global apathy, bring revival & faith to the countless unbelievers, for your merciful name’s sake. Amen.
🙏🕊️🌈
Well said We need true leadership and a believer Love for God has grown cold This should be shouted from the pulpit We need a revival
We need this hope in the power of God to mitigate the effects of war and disaster 8n these times.
Outstanding account of God’s hand in preserving our country in times of need, and many more miracles poured down for us in history.
Thank you for reminding us of this miraculous day. We need to pray for Israel now. That God Will intervene. God bless you.

After the miracle of Dunkirk Churchill described the subsequent Battle of Britain as a Battle for "the future of Christian civilisation."
We all should take the lesson from this video. Pray can be powerful. Today we need prayers to turn our world around.
Thank you for this video, I always knew there was more than that the historians told us. You're video proved there was so again thank you for that and greetings from the Netherlands.
Absolutely stunning thanks Richard for sharing this miracle. So so good. Love it x

Can we get a copy to the Queen; remind her that her Father called not one, but seven National days of prayer during the 1939-45 conflict?
Thank you from my heart for this truth telling
We must never forget
Great, short, historically accurate video! God has his people here, there and everywhere. Be that person! I encourage you to look into a Welsh man named Reece Howells to add to this incredible story. God is Great!
So glad this account exists where God is not airbrushed out of the story
God is good ❤

“Praying to the God who answers”.
WOW! What an incredible nation of faith. Christianity never die in this land. I love Britain. I love Jesus, God of Miracles😍
What a beautiful reminder of God's faithfulness ❤
Love, love, love this Rich. Our God is faithful and He doesn't change!
Beautiful!!!
GOD is our protector🙏
My grandfather was at Dunkirk.
Thanks for sharing this story. Encouraging and inspirational.
Amen
God Almighty is faithful.
Wow powerful....!!! Thank you for filming this.
Also we can thank the men of the RAF. who fought and died to save the day.

People globally are praying for Israel today im sure we will witness many miracles psalm91v1
What an amazing answer to prayer!
So good and so inspiring
Powerful story.
Wonderful story - beautifully told - thanks Richard! What will our story be?
Thank you. What a great question? Our hope is that the same God is at work powerfully in our lives as well.
God really find ways even if it seems no way...🙏🙏🙏
Astonishing History ! 💟🇬🇧✝️🙏🇨🇦🙂🌎
Wonderful account of a miracle I'd never even heard of.
So glad we were able to bring it to life for you. By all means, please share it with others who may not know the story.
The scoffers and mockers who decry the rememberance of national historical events must be resisted - those that don't remember history are doomed to repeat it. I find it so sad that this nation has chosen to beat the retreat of her Christian heritage over the last 80 years.
Marcia McGrail, correct in every detail
Even today the people of Dunkirk must praise god not only them but all of us
Wow very interesting not aware of all of this.
The LORD did not allow the Nazis for they would have burned the Authorized King James Holy Bible and the museums, Amen. HalleluYAH! 💪💖🌈😇🥳
You forgot to mention Soho😮
Wow. Amazing miracle in end bit
❤️
Just compare the meteorological conditions of June 5th 1944
And
June’s early days in 1940.
Coincidence/Premonition :
The Last Issue of the French magazine « Match » featured on its cover the picture of a French marine at Dunkirk.
It was dated June 6th 1940.
« Match » wouldn’t resume
publication as « Paris-Match »
until 1949.
Christianity will reclaim England and all Britain once again - just when you think it impossible - the King will take back what is His 🏴🍻👆🙏
God gets credit for all great things that men do and excuses for all the many more times his legions of guardian angels or himself do nothing.
Thank you Father God for real history being shared with us today. ❤️
Real history, real and true, Lord Jesus I love you ❤️
Have you heard, we have a new King of England
Visit King of.UK
Truth Trust Transparency and Love to everyone ❤️💞
If only they would call out to their heavenly Father today and be saved.
The weather in June 1944 was forbidding.
The weather in June 1940 was
clement.
French and British deaths at Dunkirk could have exceeded 18,000. With 2,000 civilians dying.
Miracle or Providence
