Psalm 3

A psalm by King David, when he was fleeing from his son Absalom, who wanted to dethrone him. In spite of being assailed by thousands of his enemies, who didn’t believe God would rescue him, David cried out to the Lord for help. The Lord delivered him by striking his opponents, because salvation belongs to the Lord, whose blessing is on His people.

If Donald J. Trump, the Pharisee-in-Chief, who lusted for money, sex, and power, and who is presently facing so many trials, tribulations, and temptations from all sides, appropriated the promises in Psalm 3, what are the chances that his name would not only be in the Book of Life, but he’d also return as an anointed political savior?

Did Trump Have Nine Lives?

An equivalent of asking “Could Donald J. Trump be nearing the last stage of his decade-long corrupt and criminal lifestyle after devilishly and successfully avoiding fines and jail sentences time and time again?”

How long could Trump’s “political persecution” be used as a legal excuse to exonerate him from being locked up? Did Trump have nine lives? Have bribes, crimes, and lies finally lost patience with him and his cronies? Has Heaven’s impatience taken hold of them?

The Global Vaccine Divide

When a number of Western countries would not allow travellers who have been jabbed with vaccines not manufactured in the West to enter, because the quality or efficacy of those allegedly “Eastern shots” is suspicious.

If the global vaccine divide were to be enforced, which means that vaccines like Covishield, Sinovac, Sinopharm, and Sputnik V wouldn’t be recognized in the EU (and possibly in the US), how much would global tourism or economy be decimated? Would the “vaccine apartheid” perpetrated by the West potentially usher in a World War III?

Picode

When the consecutive digits of a barcode pop up among the digits of the decimal number π, which might lead the discoverer to suspect whether there could be some hidden message from a deity or the devil to them and their loved ones.

Paul inquired from both Western and Eastern numerologists on the meaning or significance of the picode, which came to him through a dream some three-odd weeks ago.

Maskerick

Short for “Mask Maverick.” A rebel who wants to set a trend in mask wearing, or a disruptor who desires to make mask wearing a fashion, political, or social statement—for example, encouraging anti-maskers to publicly wear their mandatory face masks inside out to display their displeasure to the authorities.

Maskerick Trump instigated his diehard supporters to don a MAGA mask on their march to the Capitol Building on November 6 to protest against allegedly fraudulent votes that had masked the “illegal” victory of his political opponent.

Not Anti-God, but Anti-Christ

When opponents of Christianity are hell-bent to devaluing Jesus’ deity, the cross, and His power to forgive all sins, by telling others that Jesus is not the Son of God, but just one of the prophets in the Bible—the lie that their place in paradise is dependent on their good deeds and performing lifelong rituals on earth to an impersonal God rather than through their faith in Jesus’ grace alone and establishing a personal relationship with Him.

It’s not surprising that many religious leaders, who are not anti-God, but anti-Christ, wouldn’t want their followers to know that Jesus’ blood shed on the cross (and not the blood of bulls and goats) is able to forgive all their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness, and that through His grace (unmerited favor) by faith (and not through works and rites) that they have eternal life.

Death by Mask

The number of people worldwide who have died not of the coronavirus but accidentally or frighteningly because of the face mask, be it in the incorrect way they handle or wear the mask, which leads to breathing difficulty; or old or weak-hearted folks who were shocked by a masked family member, who wanted to pull a scary prank on them.

During this pandemic crisis, which is likely to be higher: death by math or death by mask?
