LETTERS TO THE PRIME MINISTER


FILE – Mark Carney speaks during his Liberal leadership campaign launch in Edmonton, Jan. 16, 2025. (Jason Franson/The Canadian Press via AP, File)

An interesting little unimportant fact for me to see for obvious reasons. I searched and found this image of Mark Carney for the 1st Time the same day I posted this article Friday. It was already part of this post before I read the accreditation under the image. In the letter sent to Carney on June 6 D-Day posted below, in it I mention my 1st Contact letter was sent on Carney’s Birthday March 16.

All vigilant Citizens could and should express their views and concerns to their government. The State of THIS Material World is in dire straits, sick & sucks. Don’t give up if you don’t get a response.

Prime Minister Carney and CanaDa is proud to be hosting the G-7 + meetings starting on Sunday, mingling with his peers, the small minority of the Establishment Powerful and Privileged Political Elites, leading THIS money loving and serving MATERIAL World, on it’s tip ready to topple over, like the INVERSE Pyramid in the Israeli Star of David.

You could be certain the PMO wanted the Economy to be the focus of discussions, and planned accordingly. I can only imagine the disappointment he must feel, despite all the meticulous details put in place to make it so, Israel’s aggressive Acts of War against Iran, not self-defence as Israel claims, turned all those plans upside-down.

In this letter I sent Prime Minister Carney on Tuesday, June 6 D-Day, in the context of the last paragraph in the letter, Israel starting the WAR re the upcoming G-7 Carney wanted without this bothersome intrusion was truly “preemptive.”

MORAL BACKBONE OR LACK THEREOF

Prime Minister Carney,

Know this, so there can be no doubt in the PMO: Since Pierre Trudeau quit in 1984 moving to The Cormier House in Montreal, I had no Spiritual Impulse to speak to Turner, Mulroney, Campbell, Chrétien, Martin, Harper, or Justin Trudeau.

I laid low—until God called me to confront you. You are now like Jonah in belly of the whale having no place left to run and hide from Almighty God. When Jonah came to his senses and did God’s will going to Nineveh to warn they were on the Path to Destruction, from the king on down, the people repented and Nineveh was not destroyed.

That was until the Year of the Lord 2014, when that Biblical History repeated itself. ISIS blew up the Islamic Mosque in Nineveh, Iraq, containing the Tomb of Jonah in the whale fame from the Jewish-Christian tradition. That was the same Year of the Lord when the US-CIA orchestrated the regime change of the Democratically elected, Russian friendly Ukraine government, installing an anti-Russian Ukraine government which immediately started shelling the Russian-speaking Ukrainians bordering Russia.

This is the strong Spiritual impulse God gave me to impress on you Today because obviously, you have eyes but do not see: So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. If the watchman see the sword come, and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. In our Times, it’s the house of CanaDa & Israel.

From the 1st contact letter I sent to you March 16 with Birthday wishes, congratulations and a Vision for CanaDa, no one in the PMO recognized the Good Will. Even the Easter Sunday letter had Good Will toward you, though I gave you the ultimatum if you do not publicly condemn Israel’s genocide in Gaza by April 28, instead of the super majority the polls said you would get up to Easter Sunday, you would have a minority and so it is.

NO ONE in the PMO followed this link to https://rayjc.com/2025/03/13/pierre-trudeau-the-year-of-three-popes-and-the-divine-shaking-of-earthly-powers/ The PMO can dismiss it but cannot change the historical FACTS. The PMO may not believe me, but do you believe your own RCMP Security? This is the official RCMP account of the Face to Face Time and Chance encounter with Pierre Trudeau late at night on August 3, 1978.

Naturally, the RCMP Agent would not recognize I was speaking by the Christ Spirit, the very words Christ Jesus said to Peter the 1st Pope, recorded in John 21. It makes perfect sense! While I spoke those words in my Faith of that Day called TODAY, I had no foreknowledge, Pope Paul VI would DIE 3 days later.

This is the official RCMP report from October 13, 1978, embedded in the article linked above, as the Christ Spirit moved me to prophesy the 3rd command in the sequence, from John 21. In the media melee at the front door to Glebe, I said to his Face, “Prime Minister! Look at the Spirit of the 13. Feed the lambs!” as he went to speak to the children.

NOTE: the RCMP Agent put “13” in quotes. With the election 3 days later, Trudeau lost “13” of the 15 by-elections, and the unscheduled election of Pope John Paul II was announced. These are undeniable Historical Facts!

Prime Minister, in your Declaration with England & France so long ago this is what you said: “We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response. We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must halt settlements which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of both Israelis and Palestinians.  We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions.”

Netanyahu is giving you the finger Mark Carney, continuing to do everything the statement condemns and obviously those high – sounding ideals were just Political spin. Where’s your MORAL BACKBONE?

You are complicit sacrificing the lives of Palestinian Children and Woman to preserve caucus support in your minority Parliament by a minority of MPs in a Faustian bargain with the Devil.

Why should anyone believe you will back up your own words when you let Netanyahu give you the finger on such a fundamental Issue of Truth and Justice and our Common Humanity in this Common Era of Christ?

I know you are anxious to host the G7 and mingle with the privileged and powerful elites already opting for Destruction deciding on escalation of the European WAR in this Nuclear Missile Age. I am also anxious to see what comes of it? When the G8 met in Muskoka in 2010 attended by all those thinking of themselves as the movers and shakers in this World, Almighty God showed them who the real mover and shaker is with an Earthquake and a Tornado, totally unusual for that area.

When I commended you for your joint statement with England and France May 21 starting my 82nd year, this was the condition with the question mark: Finally, Publicly recognizing the horrific Israeli Genocide in Gaza. Better late than never! Now I hope your minority government lasts a while?

That is only my personal hope Prime Minister. Depending on what comes out of the G7, by God, your tenure as Prime Minister may not last much longer than Kim Cambell’s. God is that powerful!

PEACE

As I pointed out in the letter above, Israel already gave Carney the finger. Israel attacking Iran put Carney’s carefully laid plans for G-7 success in jeopardy. It’s not self-defence as Israel always claims when it attacks it’s neighbours. It’s Israeli naked brutal aggression expanding the the murderous Israeli Gaza Genocide starting this WAR in the Middle East. It’s bringing this Material World closer to ARMAGEDDON aka the Great Day of the Battle of Almighty God between Jews, Christians and Muslims starting with Israel as described in the Revelation of Jesus Christ the Jew 16: 13-16, I posted the Warning it was coming in many sites for the last few months.

With all of that, in pandering to Israel, Carney’s government condemned Iran’s legitimate by International Law, retaliatory response to Israel’s acts of War, but did not condemn Israel for starting the WAR. When the US defends and protects Israel from Iran’s legitimate retaliation to Israel starting a wider WAR in the Middle East, it is EVIDENCE the US West is totally complicit with Israel’s aggression ensuring the Middle East erupt in a deadly inferno.

This is the History of all the times Netanyahu claimed Iran was close to having a nuke and as it is Today, it’s was all bullshit to justify Israeli domination and expansion in the Middle East. In a letter sent to the Prime Minister May 22, I included these verses from the Revelation of Jesus Christ since Carney self-proclaimed his Christianity in his acceptance speech winning the Liberal Leadership and position of Prime Minister. He has no excuse! The Bible verses following were written so we can see the Israeli genocide happening in Gaza TODAY in its unfolding context:

[9] I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2

[9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelation 3

The chutzpah of Israel decrying 3 Israeli Jews were killed in Iran’s legitimate retaliation to Israel starting the WAR when Israel killed over 100 Iranian civilians in the WAR it started, as if Jewish lives are more valuable than Palestinian or other Gentile lives.

People examine debris from a residential building in Tehran that was destroyed in Israel’s attack on Iran on June 13, 2025.

For those paying attention, it was obvious under Carney, Canada was to give it’s Imprimatur and take part in the escalation of the US WAR with Russia over Ukraine in NATO. He even invited Zelensky, whose legal term as President ended over a year ago. He declared Martial Law to remain in Power. While he’s being feted by Carney and all NATO governments in Europe, he shuts down opposition in Ukraine while Press Gangs abduct Ukraine Citizens off the streets to send them to the WAR front with minimal training where death is almost certain in maintaining and continuing this hopeless WAR the Ukrainian People want to stop.

In the letter to the Prime Minister with the Subject: THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY, sent May 21 on my Birthday starting my 82nd Year, I spelled out the divergent views and understanding of the WAR in Europe we have because I watched even more closely that the highly paid America 1st MSM Propagandists including this because The Kansas City Times was describing me, a Canadian, September 13, 1976, as Americans were celebrating the Revolution: “He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November TO DO GOD’S BIDDING: To tell the World, from Kansas City, this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered […] He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of BABYLON,” he said.” […] He wanted to bring to the Public’s attention an “idea being put out subtly and deceptively” by the government that we have to get prepared for a War with Russia.”

That 1976 FUTURE is NOW with the Revelation of the details GENERALLY unfolding in the spirit of the letter. The World is waking up to see Americans may hasten “its days are numbered” part of the 1976 Vision, and waits with bated breath.

“It is the US and NATO that have pursued aggressive expansion eastward, fuelling this conflict.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Military Warsaw Pact opposite NATO with it in 1991, there was no need for US/NATO to extend right up to Russia’s border other than US arrogance and hubris and the false belief Russia was so weak, they couldn’t do anything to stop it. It was hypocritical as well because the US was so offended by Russian missiles in Cuba in 1962, they perpetrated an Act of WAR with the illegal US Naval blockade of Cuba. The US isn’t that exceptional. Russia feels the very same way about NATO being right on Russia’s border. Where is the Common Sense in this World?

Zbigniew Brzeziński was President Clinton’s National Security Advisor and wrote in 1997, “It cannot be stressed enough that without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be an empire, but with Ukraine suborned and then subordinated, Russia automatically becomes an empire.” It was under Clinton, NATO’s march to Russia’s border started breaking the promise not to expand beyond Germany if Russia unilaterally brought all it’s troops back to Russia. 

It’s totally absurd for anyone to believe US West Propaganda. The US proxy anti-Russian Ukraine government was shelling Russian speaking Ukrainians. After annexing the Russian speaking majority of Ukraine bordering Russia, it’s totally unlikely Russia alone would then move West to take on the US and it’s 30+ European vassal states. 

I believe this comment from Vladimir Putin was pragmatic and sincere saying this: “Anyone who doesn’t regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains.” New York Times20 February 2000. 

US/NATO claiming Russia wants to re-constitute the Soviet Union is US hype to sell more Weapons of Death & Destruction, preparing Americans and the World for the FINAL WAR to End ALL WARS: WWIII – ARMAGEDDON.

President Kennedy saw how dangerous it is for the World because of US-Russia PRIDE OF POWER POLITICS acting out in this World Today. Kennedy saw  in 1963 how close the World came to Nuclear WWIII prompting him to say: “Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy–or of a collective death-wish for the world.” 

Thinking like that, got the US 1sters of that era, still with us Today, so upset, he was “disappeared.”

 […] Biden was threatening Russia with Economic Warfare in November 2021. In the week before February 24, 2022, I went to the OSCE website daily, set up by the Minsk Accords to monitor Truce Violations between the US installed anti-Russian Ukraine government, and the majority Russian speaking Ukrainians bordering Russia rejecting the 2014 US-CIA regime change of the Democratically elected Russian friendly Ukraine government they voted for. 

Germany’s Angela Merkle and French President Hollande both let it slip out the Minsk Accords were only a ruse to pacify Russia to think there would positive results. The real reason for Minsk was for the US/NATO to buy Time to arm and train Ukraine for the War the US West was determined to have with Russia.

Contrary to the US West Propaganda Russia was the aggressor, I saw with my own eyes, Truce Violations were reaching up to 2000 a Day, provoking the Russian SMO to stop it.

My experience and understanding of “Democracy” also diverges from his. Carney, Trump and all the so called “Democratic” Leaders know there is no real Democracy anywhere in this money driven World yet. Our existing system is an Oligarchic Plutocracy Pyramid System. The rich and privileged powerful are at the top, with the masses of people at the bottom level of that Pyramid holding all levels above it on it’s back and shoulders. Like the upside-down Pyramid on it’s tip ready to topple over in the Israeli Star of David, Economically, the workers at that bottom level of the Pyramid System are finding it harder and harder to survive living in ‘The Free World’ the elites living at the top of the Pyramid System tell us we live in, with the Financial, Psychological, and Emotional costs increasing beyond the masses ability to deal with the rapid changes.

I came to Ottawa from Montreal September 2, 1977. The 1st Place I went to, was the Governor-General’s Residence, Government House, and signed the Guest Book listing my address as New Jerusalem 48 Years ago.

Having no money to advertise or rent a hall, exercising my Democratic Right of FREEDOM of Speech, stood up on the Sparks Street Mall and started speaking to a growing lunchtime crowd stopping to listen. The Police came and stopped the speech, charging me with “SHOUTING, causing a disturbance” even though The Ottawa Citizen reported the crowd demanded I be allowed to speak because they wanted to hear.

I was locked up in maximum security, solitary confinement for 5 days before appearing in front of a Judge. I understood the signal they were giving me doing that. The Ottawa Citizen published a 3×3 report with the header, ‘Preacher arrested on Mall’

The pictures below were published by The Ottawa Citizen on 3/4 of Saturday’s page 2 with a border around the article reporting on my continuation of the speech the Police stopped the week earlier with the header, ‘Second Policing for ‘God’s Emissary’

At trial, there were about 10 charges of ‘SHOUTING, causing a disturbance.’ I was convicted and put on Probation for 1 year. Not 1 of the standard conditions were checked off. Typed in at the bottom of the Probation form was this 1 condition, “‘”not to attend on the Sparks St. Mall, or ANY OTHER street in Ottawa for the purpose of SPEAKING or shouting.” at 31, I was sent to jail for the 1st TIME in my Life for breach of that UN-Democratic condition.

When Carney and the Europeans say the WAR with Russia is over Democracy, with that personal experience, I have every Right to say, BULLSHIT!

THE ISRAELI GENOCIDE IN GAZA HAS DIMINISHED OUR COMMON HUMANITY


It’s an Old Adage, ‘TRUTH is the 1st CASUALTY of WAR’ and yet these words attributed to Christ Jesus the Jew, are dismissed out of hand in this Time of the Revelation of Jesus Christ in the nominally Christian Nations.

[9] I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2

[9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelation 3

There is no excuse! Our EYES have seen the Death, Destruction, Devastation and Demolition Israel has brought to Gaza with US jet fighters, US bombers and bombs, US Apache Attack helicopters, tanks, artillery and BULLdozers against the innocent women and Children of Gaza having no defence against Israel’s self-defence of kill them all!.

What else could be expected when the President of Israel essentially said there is little difference between Hamas and Palestinians in Gaza?

UNRWA Chief Accuses Israel of Torturing Staff as US Backs Ban on Agency at World Court

Nearly 300 UNRWA workers have been killed in Israeli attacks since October 2023, and dozens of other agency staffers have alleged torture during Israel Defense Forces detention.

April 30, 2025 Brett Wilkins Common Dreams

As the International Court of Justice this week weighs an Israeli ban on a United Nations agency that provides lifesaving aid in Gaza, the program’s leader called out attacks on its workers while the United States defended Israel—the recipient of billions of dollars in U.S. military assistance.

The ICJ is holding a week of hearings in The Hague, Netherlands following the U.N. General Assembly’s December passage of a Norwegian-led resolution asking the tribunal, which is also known as the World Court, for an advisory opinion on Israel’s legal obligation to “ensure and facilitate the unhindered provision of urgently needed supplies essential to the survival of the Palestinian civilian population.”

Among the 38 nations and three regional blocs scheduled to address the 15 ICJ judges, only the United States and Hungary have so far defended Israel, whose forces have killed nearly 300 United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) workers during their nearly 19-month annihilation of Gaza.

“An occupational power retains a margin of appreciation concerning which relief schemes to permit,” U.S. State Department legal adviser Joshua Simmons argued before the court Wednesday, referring to Israel’s 58-year occupation of Palestine, which the ICJ ruled an illegal form of apartheid in a June 2024 advisory opinion.

“Even if an organization offering relief is an impartial humanitarian organization, and even if it is a major actor, occupation law does not compel an occupational power to allow and facilitate that specific actor’s relief operations,” Simmons continued, noting “serious concerns about UNRWA’s impartiality, including information that Hamas has used UNRWA facilities and that UNRWA staff participated in the October 7th terrorist attack against Israel” in 2023.

“Given these concerns, it is clear that Israel has no obligation to permit UNRWA specifically to provide humanitarian assistance,” Simmons added. “UNRWA is not the only option for providing humanitarian assistance in Gaza.”

In what UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini described at the time as an act of “reverse due process,” the agency fired nine employees in February 2024 following Israeli allegations that they were involved in the Hamas-led attack on Israel in which more than 1,100 Israelis were killed and 251 Israeli and foreign survivors were kidnapped.

Lazzarini admitted to terminating the staffers without due process or an adequate investigation of Israel’s claims. A subsequent probe by the U.N. Office of Oversight Services “was not able to independently authenticate information used by Israel to support the allegations.”

On Tuesday, Lazzarini reminded the world that “over 50 UNRWA staff—among them teachers, doctors, social workers—have been detained and abused” by Israeli forces since October 2023.

“They have been treated in the most shocking and inhumane way,” he continued. “They reported being beaten up and used as human shields. They were subjected to sleep deprivation, humiliation, threats of harm to them and their families, and attacks by dogs. Many were subjected to forced confessions.”

Those forced confessions spurred numerous nations including the United States to cut off funding to UNRWA. Almost all of the countries have since restored funding as Israel’s claims have been debunked or questioned over a lack of evidence.

The U.S.—which has not restored funding for UNRWA—earlier this week abandoned its long-standing position that the body is immune from lawsuits, opening the door for cases by October 7 survivors and victims’ relatives stemming from dubious claims of agency involvement in the attack.

In addition to accusing Israeli troops of torturing its staffers, UNRWA has also documented tortures allegedly suffered by Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, including interrupted drowning—also known as waterboarding—being shot in the knees with nail guns, sexual abuse of both men and women, and being sodomized with electric batons. The Israel Defense Forces is investigating dozens of in-custody deaths, many of them at the notorious Sde Teiman base in the Negev Desert.

While Israel’s physical assault on Gaza has killed hundreds of UNRWA workers, its diplomatic war on the U.N. has seen the agency banned from operating in Palestine and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres declared “persona non grata” in Israel after he included Israel on his 2024 “list of shame” of countries and armed groups that kill and injure children during wartime.

The U.S.-backed 572-day war waged by the far-right government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—who is a fugitive from the International Criminal Court—has left more than 184,000 Palestinians dead, maimed, or missing in Gaza, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Nearly all of the embattled enclave’s more than 2 million people have been forcibly displaced and Israel’s “complete siege” of the coastal strip has fueled widespread starvation and illness.

This week’s ICJ hearing comes amid the tribunal’s ongoing genocide case against Israel, which was brought by South Africa and is backed by dozens of nations either individually or via regional blocs. The court has issued three provisional orders in the case, all of which Israel has been accused of flouting.

Responding to the U.S. intervention in this week’s ICJ hearings, Palestinian Ambassador to the Netherlands Ammar Hijazi told Middle East Eye that “everybody knows that Israel is using humanitarian aid as a weapon of war and is starving the population in Gaza because of that.”

U.N. agencies and international humanitarian groups have warned in recent days of the imminent risk of renewed famine in Gaza as food stocks run out.

“The U.S. intervention is very narrow in its scope, when it highlights the rights of an occupying power but ignores the so many layers of duties of that occupying power that Israel is in violation of,” Hijazi added.

Among the countries defending UNRWA during Wednesday’s ICJ session were Indonesia and Russia, which is currently waging a war against Ukraine. Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono affirmed “the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination,” while Maksim Musikhin, legal director of Russia’s Foreign Ministry, argued that “international law should be respected by Israel” and that UNRWA deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

The Day the Veil Lifted: A Spiritual Awakening in a Time of Crisis


On January 31, 1975, at the age of 31, I walked away from a lucrative career as National Marketing Representative, Mining Division, Dominion Engineering Works Ltd., a prominent Montreal-based company. The job, which I had taken with high hopes, turned out to be a far cry from what I had envisioned.

I thought I was being hired to travel coast to coast in Canada, all expenses paid, selling very expensive ball mills costing in the $100s of thousands in ’74 dollars to mining industries. Instead, I found myself confined to a desk, preparing sales proposals and production schedules. The realization that Canadian and American companies were outsourcing labor to third-world countries for excess profit—leaving workers here jobless—left me disillusioned. I quit without a backup plan, unaware that the next day would mark the most profound turning point of my life.

On February 1, 1975, the veil lifted. I experienced a spiritual awakening that redefined my existence. In an instant, I became acutely aware of God’s presence within me—a truth echoed in both the Old and New Testaments. This moment of divine connection was not just a personal revelation; it was a call to a higher purpose. Over the next 36 years, I grappled with this newfound reality, eventually sharing my story in a blog post titled “Day of Awakening – David vs Goliath vs Armageddon. Today, I revisit that journey, reflecting on its enduring significance in a world still grappling with greed, inequality, and spiritual blindness.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     That day, I was in high spirits. I was finalizing the deal that just by Time and Chance dropped out of the sky, to take possession of a dream apartment—a five-room space beautifully decorated by a French Canadian artist, complete with artwork and furnishings, all for going for $1,000. The rent was just $69 a month, plus utilities. It was a steal, and I was eager to make it my own. It was right in the heart of downtown Montreal on Hotel de Ville St. near Sherbrooke & St. Laurent, the dividing line between East and West. A 1 or 2 bedroom apartment on that Gentrified block in Montreal costs between $1700-$2300 Today.

I arrived with a wealthy Jewish friend to seal the deal. After handling the business, we got into an intense discussion about society, morality, politics, and religion—the human condition, life and death, war and peace on Earth. As I sat back, listening to their passionate debate, something extraordinary happened. At a certain point, it was as if a veil was lifted from my eyes. With what felt like the sound of rushing water, I was overcome with an undeniable realization: God! You’re alive! You exist! You really exist! In that moment, I came alive to God—or perhaps God came alive to me. It was a spiritual awakening, a connection to another dimension that I had never before experienced. I said nothing to the others—they didn’t have the same experience.

Later that evening, still processing the profound change within me, I met with another group of friends. Among them was an American artist avoiding the draft I asked three months earlier to create a portrait of me to encourage him, paying a deposit. When he unveiled the finished piece, I was stunned. It was no ordinary portrait. Instead, it was a symbolic masterpiece: a headless body standing tall, with a shield and a slingshot, standing in front of a car at the edge of a cliff, its license plate marked with a single letter—“D.”

The original portrait was done in pencil and larger than this copy of a copy of the original size drawing, both copies distributed on The Sparks Street Mall with a collage of scriptures with the header, PUBLIC NOTICE The original was stolen during a break and enter of my apartment in Ottawa. I added the Canadian Coat of Arms and the colour in the green arrow pointing up and the red light.

No one in the room knew about my spiritual awakening earlier that day. As I studied the drawing, I joked, “Dave, that’s a jock-looking image. I wish my body looked that good.” Pointing to the shield, I asked, “Is that a cowboy hat?” He replied, “No. It’s a shield and a slingshot. You know, like David and Goliath.” His words struck me like a thunderclap. David and Goliath. Here I was, hours after my awakening, holding a portrait that seemed to mirror the very themes now stirring within me.

The headless body symbolized humanity without God—a body that cannot stand on its own. The car at the cliff represented the global economy, teetering on the edge of collapse. The “D” on the license plate, when I asked Dave if it was his signature was met with a cryptic response: “It could be Death. It could be Divinity. I have no idea.” The timing was uncanny. It was as if God was speaking to me through the artist’s hand, using symbols to affirm the path ahead.

That night, alone in my apartment, I was overwhelmed with peace, joy, and gratitude. Tears streamed down my face as I thought, God, I don’t know what you’re doing with me, but whatever it is, keep doing it. I love it! I love you! At that exact moment, a radio broadcast began with the words, “Now that you’re a Christian, your work is just beginning.” From that day forward, I began a deep communion with God and Christ within me. Though I didn’t fully understand what was happening, I knew it was real. But my life was forever changed. It was a profound, visceral knowing. God is real. God is alive. And God is in me.

This awakening was not something I sought or expected. I had spent no time searching for God in my live, thoughts or actions. Yet, in that moment, I was born anew—not of flesh, but of the Spirit, as described in John 1:13. It was a clear demarcation in my life: BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini). From that day forward, I began a journey of communion with God, learning to live not by the will of man, but by the will of the Spirit.

The day of my spiritual awakening—February 1, 1975—was not just a personal turning point; it was a microcosm of the larger battle we face as a global community. The portrait I received that night, with its headless body, shield, slingshot, and car at the edge of a cliff, was a prophetic image of the world we live in today. The headless body symbolizes a humanity adrift, disconnected from its spiritual source. The car at the cliff represents a global system teetering on the brink of collapse. And the slingshot? It’s a reminder that even the smallest among us, armed with faith and courage, can confront the giants of our age.

Those giants are more visible now than ever. The spectre of World War III looms large in the U.S. war with Russia over Ukraine, concurrent with the Middle East on the path to Armageddon—aka the Battle of the Great Day of God Almighty—shaping up between Jewish Israel, Christian America, and the Islamic nations. Escalating tensions between global powers, the rise of militarism, the erosion of moral values, and the unchecked greed of the few at the expense of the many are all signs of a world in crisis. Yet, as my awakening taught me, these challenges are not merely political or economic—they are spiritual. The battle we face is not just against flesh and blood, but against the forces of division, destruction, and despair.

In the biblical story of David and Goliath, David’s victory was not just a triumph of skill or strategy; it was a testament to his faith in God. Today, we are called to embody that same faith. Each of us, in our own way, has a role to play in confronting the giants of our time. Whether through art, activism, prayer, or simply living a life of integrity and compassion, we can be instruments of divine justice in a broken world.

The concept of Armageddon is often associated with catastrophic conflict, but it also represents a moment of reckoning—a time when the forces of good and evil come to a head. For me, the question is not whether we will face these challenges, but how we will respond to them. Will we succumb to fear and despair, or will we rise to the occasion, trusting in the power of faith and the promise of redemption?

My journey since that day of awakening has been one of learning to see the world through spiritual eyes. It’s about recognizing that the battles we face are not just physical or political, but spiritual. The forces of greed, division, and destruction are real, but so too is the power of faith, love, and divine justice. Like David, we may feel small and ill-equipped, but with God on our side, we are more than conquerors.

Now, in my 81st year, I have come full circle. That dream apartment with the low rent, where I came alive to God on February 1, 1975, I gave up seven months later to enter the U.S. and discover the Spirit of ’76. God saved it for me. Today, I have a large, well-laid-out one-bedroom apartment, heated, with a parking space on Hotel de Ville in Hull, costing $398/month US. That is a dream apartment in these times of crazy rents!

This personal blog has chronicled many episodes in my search for God since that February day to the present. Through all the ups and downs, The LORD is my Shepherd. I shall not want. He causes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even when I walk in the valley of darkness, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me. You set a table before me in the presence of my adversaries; You anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

The day the veil lifted was not just a personal turning point; it was a microcosm of the larger battle we face as a global community. The portrait I received that night, with its headless body, shield, slingshot, and car at the edge of a cliff, was a prophetic image of the world we live in today. The headless body symbolizes a humanity adrift, disconnected from its spiritual source. The car at the cliff represents a global system teetering on the brink of collapse. And the slingshot? It’s a reminder that even the smallest among us, armed with faith and courage, can confront the giants of our age.

The day the veil lifted was the beginning of a journey—a journey of faith, humility, and divine purpose. It was a call to see the world through spiritual eyes, to recognize that the battles we face are not just physical or political, but spiritual. The forces of greed, division, and destruction are real, but so too is the power of faith, love, and divine justice. Like David, we may feel small and ill-equipped, but with God on our side, we are more than conquerors.

And I said, “Woe is me for I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and amidst a people of unclean lips I dwell, for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts. Isaiah 6:5
