Defile, Destroy, and Die

Voice of the Prophet

We just had a gunman/executioner mark his bullets with Deny, Delay and Depose, awakening a massive conversation around the state of health care today. There are many who sympathize with his frustration, hate, and resistance even while condemning his act. Often it takes something large and startling to get our conversation going.

Unfortunately, we are not as aware of nature signaling its deep distress and messages, because in our society, we consider that nature has no voice.

And yet, for a supposedly Christian country, the bible itself heralds nature as a huge force of communication, explanation, and revelation if we have the ears to hear and the eyes to see.

The whale swallowed Jonah, the floods wiped out civilization, and in the end times of Revelation the forces of nature come together in a frightening crescendo of destruction. Nature is constantly used in the bible to inform us of our state in relationship to the divine. Wars and pestilence, famine and drought, earthquakes, volcanoes, the blotting out of the stars, moon, and sun, and it all begins with a rider on a white horse who came conquering and to conquer. Someone who looks very shining but is only the beginning of the destruction of the end, followed by natural disasters, wars, famines, and pestilences.

Now let’s take a few minutes to look at Donald’s last trip through the White House (horse?) as it culminated in 2019);

Defilement:  April 15, 2019 - Notre Dame burned in an amazing conflagration that held the attention of the entire world in a dreaded fascination. How could this happen, we asked ourselves?

Who is Notre Dame – Our Lady. And she burned – her regal spire of beauty toppled and her roof of protection incinerated. This Iconic representation of Lady, the sacredness of her essence, was defiled and burned, and the entire world was horrified. In America today, the defilement of the female is in full swing, and the earth pealed that warning out in fire on April 15, 2019, the third year of the reign of our lord and savior, Donald J Trump. The disrespectful treatment of women in this country spawned by his watch is unprecedented in democratic countries the world over and has continued to grow like an ugly cancer in America since then. Not one democracy treats its women with the lack of respect and equality that we currently do and continue to grow in our doing, here. Attacks upon the rights, freedoms and safety of our ladies will continue under his watch. Our Lady has suffered, and will continue to suffer, in America since the reign of Donald, Defiler of Women, began.

Destruction: Between September 2019 and March 2020, 12.6 million hectares, about 31 million acres, of forest and bushland burned in Australia causing environmental repercussions the world over. About 3 billion animals were impacted and 1700 species of plants animals and eco communities are now threatened with extinction. Again, the world watched in horror as Australia burned. The temperatures leading up to this global disaster, whose ashes were felt across the globe, were record breaking highs. Fire rose up to speak to us next about the destruction of our planet. Our lack of care and the total ignorance of environmental danger are hallmark traits of the reign of DJT. The earth is assured he will continue his campaign of denial and destruction against her as he goes.

Death: March 2020 - And as the fires burned down, another was revving up. A pestilence came upon the land and the people died. By March as the land fires died in Australia, here in America the pestilence of the vile attitudes we have toward our land, our women and each other reached new heights in unrestrained death, despair, anger and division in the form of Covid 19. We lost around 7 million overall as recorded in Covid figures with the estimated global death to be somewhere more, around 18 million, as many countries were not adequately able to record statistics. Here in America a staggering 103 million cases were reported and 1.2 million deaths recorded. Nations have suffered since then, struggling economically and politically, and in our own, the struggle with violence, hate and the unacknowledged role of declining mental and emotional health has led to almost daily acts of depravity, mindlessness, distrust and despair. We drive ourselves into walls, kill the innocent and embrace the guilty.

 Donald’s advent is the incarnation of a trilogy of defilement, destruction, and death.

And still we have not heard or read the signs around us. Still, we are not paying attention to the screaming of the globe and its inhabitants through signs and natural disaster, and even worse, we have attributed savior status to the one who carries the curse. Once more we have installed the golden crowned conqueror, the shiny hopeful thing full of lies and deceit and unfulfilled, inept promises who robs from the poor and gives to the rich.

For the past 4 years DJT has continued to assault our democracy, deride our government and foment hatred and unrest. Be assured he held meetings with the war mongers in Russia and Israel to keep the destruction and death alive to build his palace upon. They willingly agreed but will not bend the knee to peace at his bequest no matter what. He has unleashed uncontrollable forces of evil upon the land and the people, fomenting wars for his own benefit. His regime will not be blessed, but it will continue to be a beacon of world warning as it continues to rob and deceive the people it has purported it will help.

Watch over these next few years and see what the earth coughs up to help us see as dictators and wars rise, economies and people suffer, and who knows what further outbursts of natural unrest and upheaval continue while Donald cannot make peace or prosperity happen. Listen to nature, look, record and remember.

Remember in the days of the bible how the prophets spoke, the earth shook, and the people did not listen.
