Many thousands of Mongolians have scriptures which call God ‘Burhan’, the word Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, used to apply to Buddha. Marco Polo recorded this in his thirteenth century book. All images of Buddha, pictures, statues in Mongolia are called Burhan. Mongolians get exposed to Buddhism from the cradle to the grave. Other Mongolians have scriptures which call God ‘Lord of the Universe’. In 1972 Mongolian university professors were told of the nature of God. They rejected Burhan as not having that nature and chose ‘Lord of the Universe’ from a dictionary of 1968. It is like ‘Lord of all the earth’ in Joshua and other Old Testament books. Pray that God will create total repentance of the whole heart from anything even remotely connected with paganism, as God is holy and jealous.
