A Song of Ice and Fire

1 Kings 19
¹¹ And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and mighty wind tore the mountains,
  and broke to pieces the rocks before the Lord: but the Lord was not in the wind;
  And after the wind, an earthquake: but the Lord was not in the earthquake;
¹² And after the earthquake, a fire: but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire,
  a still small voice: ¹³ And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle,
  and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave...

The Warm Season

The flaming fires of Pentecost officially mark the scorching summer heat.

Revelation 11

³ And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days. ⁵ And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies. ⁶ These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. ¹² And they ascended up to heaven. ¹³ And at the same hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake seven thousand men were slain: and the remnant were frightened, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Words To Live Or Die By

The beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth.

The suburban women are under attack!

I want to protect the women of our country. I want to protect the women.
I'm going to do it, whether the women like it or not, I'm going to protect them.

Is there any woman in this giant stadium who would like not to be protected ?
Is there any woman in this stadium that wants to be protected by the president ?

Solid Patristic Advice

Wherefore, a good Christian ought to beware of mathematicians, or
of anyone who impiously divines, especially of those speaking the truth.

Augustine, De Genesi ad Litteram, Second Book,
Seventeenth Chapter, Thirty-Seventh Paragraph

Those impostors, then, whom they designate mathematicians, used
no sacrifices and invoked the aid of no spirit for their divinations.

Fourth Book, Third Chapter

Snow White: Winter Is Coming!

If there truly is a God, whose Son gave His Holy Apostles power to bind and unbind all things in heaven and on earth, and all those myriads of popes, patriarchs, (arch)bishops, cardinals, and priests are their living successors, why are they so utterly powerless in stopping or preventing Russian missiles flying through the sky from ever reaching Ukraine and brutally massacring its inhabitants ?

Apocalypse Now!

Joel 2:31

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

Acts 2:20

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come.

Revelation 6:12

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal:
and, lo, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became as blood.

Life and death are but two sides of one and the same coin.

Thus, were the life-giving spirit to enliven the inanimate elements, such as the land, the air, the sea, or the flames, vivifying them, making them suddenly spring to life, and move violently or with great force, thereby inadvertently wreaking great havoc, causing powerful quakes, kindling mighty stormwinds or large waves, and igniting all-consuming fires, it would therefore, to the self-same extent, become a deadening spirit as well: Hence also the mortification of the flesh, frequently mentioned by the Apostle Paul, in relation to the Holy Ghost.
