The day of the surrender Brigadier General MacArthur became Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces and was promoted to General of the Army, a five-star general. MacArthur occupied Japan to help rebuild its governmental system. A devout Episcopalian, MacArthur said to a visiting group of evangelicals that "Japan is a spiritual vacuum. If you do not fill it with Christianity, it will be filled with Communism. Send me 1,000 missionaries." He asked U.S. missionary societies to send "Bibles, Bibles and more Bibles.

incarcerated Jihadists are not given Bibles, because one Islamist, Tawfik Hamid, said that what made him eventually reject extremist beliefs was his having read Matthew 5:7-9: Before leaving college, he carried two boxes of books -- all espousing jihad -- into his yard.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." "Blessed are the
peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God."
