The Apostolic Manifesto: The Major’s Seal—From a Canadian Jail to Gaza’s Cry

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

Preface: This 13th Day of October, 2025—Canada’s Day of Thanksgiving—arrives as history converges.
This 13th Day of October, 2025—Canada’s Day of Thanksgiving, so different from America’s later feast on November 27—arrives as history converges. Today, Israel ends its seven days of Sukkot, the divine remembrance it has forgotten, even as it imposes a permanent Sukkot upon the people of Gaza. On this same day, Israeli hostages return to homes and families—yet tens of thousands of Palestinian prisoners, many held without charge, emerge to find no homes left, no families waiting, and no shelter from the ruins of a man-made wilderness.

Jewish Sukkot Booth

Gaza Sukkot Booth

A Watchman’s Testimony of Confinement, Covenant, and the Call to Loose the Chains of Injustice
October 13, 2025 — Canadian Thanksgiving

The world again teeters on a knife’s edge—between Destruction and the Universal Brotherhood of Man. My voice, calling for peace with Russia and justice for Gaza, is not a political stance but a divine mandate— a calling that started on February 1, 1975 and forged in Kansas City in 1976 and sealed in a Canadian jail in 1977. This is the hidden key to my authority as a Watchman. Ezekiel 33

The Prelude: The Sparks of Faith in Ottawa
In 1976, I stood in Kansas City, warning in the Kansas City Times that America was “found wanting,” its hubris paving the path to war with Russia—a divine call to peace. Deported to Canada as an Alien, (I’m in the World, but not of the World) I arrived in Ottawa in early September 1977—a sojourner with only Faith as my shield. Hitchhiking from Montreal, a restaurant owner’s kindness—a simple shared meal—became my first sign of God’s provision. The Restaurateur, Kamal, was kind enough to drive me to the Governor-General’s residence, signing the Guest Book with my city as “New Jerusalem”—a prophetic claim of eternal citizenship. 

Pacing the cold streets all night long, I reasoned with God as I prepared to speak on the Sparks Street Mall to the lunchtime crowd. Would my words spark light or provoke chains? Matthew 21’s call to humility anchored me: I would stand.On Sparks Street, Ottawa’s pulsing heart, I proclaimed America’s decline and the need for repentance. An icy wind  scattering passersby, and I nearly faltered. Then I reasoned inwardly, “It has to be done in Faith.” 

The icy cold wind howled, and with these words coming out of my mouth, ” Citizens of Bytown, (Ottawa’s name in 1855) Romans roaming around, and Russians rushing around, lend me your ears! To may surprise and wonder, on those words, the wind died down, the clouds parted, and the warm sun rolled down The Sparks Street Mall, and a crowd gathered—as if heaven itself had sparked the Mall to life. 

But the state struck back. Arrested for “shouting causing a disturbance,” I was locked up in maximum security, solitary confinement for 5 days before appearing in front of a Judge. At trial I had 12 charges of “shouting causing a disturbance. I faced a court order to silence my voice. Convicted, I was put on probation for 1 year. Not 1 standard condition of probation was checked off. Typed in at the bottom of the form was these explicit words, “not to attend on The Sparks Street Mall, or any other Street in Ottawa for the purpose of SPEAKING or shouting.”  I was jailed for the 1st time in my Life at 32! In that test of liberty, Canada’s democracy revealed both its strength and its fragility.

The Apostolic Commissioning: Black Velvet and the Seal
In jail, I began a hunger fast—not defiance, but obedience, an enacted prayer echoing Isaiah 58’s call to “loose the chains of injustice.” Each morning, I faced the nursing station’s weigh-in, my body weakening but my spirit ablaze. In that shadowed cellblock, a miracle unfolded. A fellow prisoner, spending his own canteen money, painted The Last Supper on black velvet. The stark light of Christ and his disciples glowed against the darkness—a silent sermon of communion and resistance. During a visit with the Salvation Army Major, the divine seal was set. As we parted, he placed his hand on my shoulder and declared, “I’ll pray God bless your Apostleship.” Those words pierced the court’s gag and the prison’s bars. This was no human title; it was heaven’s charge. My calling became generative: within weeks, 3 other prisoners took up canvases, painting by numbers, the same Last Suppers as the 1st prisoner. I preached no words; my fast, my presence, was the sermon, kindling sacrifice and light in others.

The Prophetic Through-Line: From Confinement to Covenant

That jail cell was my spiritual observatory, where the prophetic arc from 1975 to today took shape. The hubris I decried in Kansas City—America’s march toward war with Russia—has ripened, as NATO’s refusal to negotiate 2021 expansion terms proves. But the deeper issue is covenantal failure, embodied in two truths:

  • The Law of the Sojourner (Leviticus 19:34): God commands, “The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself.” To displace and target the innocent, as seen in Gaza, is to shatter this covenant—a sin against God and humanity.
  • The Permanent Sukkot: While Sukkot recalls God’s protection in fragile booths, Gaza’s people live a permanent Sukkot—unprotected, vulnerable, under siege by powers meant to shield them. A festival of remembrance has become a cry of endurance.

When my posts are glitched or silenced online, it echoes that 1977 court order. Yet the Major’s blessing endures—no system, digital or judicial, can mute a call sealed by heaven.

The Call and the Benediction
We stand at a spiritual precipice. The choice is not geopolitical but eternal: domination or compassion. I challenge the world to honour the Law of the Sojourner, to see Gaza’s cry as a divine summons. My 1976 vision of America’s numbered days looms closer, hastened by its own hand.This memory of 1977 is no nostalgia; it is a spiritual weapon. From that cell, the charge is clear: Loose the chains. Shelter the displaced. Speak, though silenced. As one blessed in confinement and sent into freedom, I pass the Major’s words to every heart that still dares to speak light into darkness: “I pray God bless your Apostleship.”On this Thanksgiving Day in Canada, may gratitude rise not only from full tables, but from hearts that remember the hungry, the homeless, and the unheard. May the blessing once spoken in a jail cell resound through every open door.— Ray, The Watchman along the WatchTower
Ezekiel 33

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? Hebrews 2:4

Epilogue: The Living Word in Motion

The Apostolic Manifesto does not end—it proceeds. The Word that was sealed in confinement now walks openly among the powers of this age, speaking not from theory but from faith made visible. What follows is not commentary, but continuation: a Watchman’s response to the highest spiritual office on Earth, affirming that peace without justice is illusion, and fraternity without truth is a lie. This exchange stands as the living seal of the Manifesto—a dialogue where Scripture meets power, and the Spirit speaks again through the servants of the Covenant.

Doing what God called me to do, yesterday I responded to Pope Leo’s comment in X: Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex

Peace is unarmed and disarming. It is not deterrence, but fraternity; it is not an ultimatum, but dialogue. Peace will not come as the result of victories over the enemy, but as the fruit of sowing justice and courageous forgiveness.

Ray Joseph Cormier @RayJC_Com

Like Micaiah, God moved me to speak Truth to Power with this X to PM Netanyahu in the morning before the Gaza Ceasefire was made Public Wednesday night: 

Benjamin Netanyahu, You speak of the “horrific slaughter” of October 7 and invoke God’s help. Yet you create a permanent, man-made hell for 2 million image-bearers of that same God in Gaza. As Jews observe Sukkot—a holy feast commemorating God’s temporary shelter and protection of His people in the wilderness—you, a Genocidal psychopathic TERRORIST, are imposing a PERMANENT SUKKOT on the people of Gaza. You have turned their lives into a perpetual state of exposure, terror, and desperation, utterly desecrating the memory of the divine shelter you claim to honour. This is not strength. This is a spiritual blindness so profound it echoes the very powers Christ indicted. 

You have eyes that WILL NOT see the stranger you are commanded to love (Leviticus 19:34). You have a heart that WILL NOT show the mercy your own scriptures demand (Micah 6:8). You quote scripture while violating its core: “Love your neighbor as yourself” is the foundation. Gaza is your neighbor. The “unprecedented crushing strikes” you boast of are not a sign of God’s favor. They are the actions of a king trusting in chariots and horses, not in the Lord—a king who has forgotten that the land belongs to God, and all who live upon it are but sojourners (Leviticus 25:23). You are not securing Israel’s perpetuity. You are writing its indictment. Cease this madness. If you want to see his comment and the 3 images I posted with my script, go here: https://x.com/RayJC_Com/status/1976041325645697402

Almighty Eternal God moved me to reply to PM Netanyahu again after declaring, “This has been our land for 3,500 years.” Ray Joseph Cormier @RayJC_Com

Mr. Netanyahu, you cite 3,500 years of history, but you ignore the Owner of the deed. The Torah you claim to uphold states clearly in Leviticus 25:23: ‘The land is MINE,’ says the Lord, ‘and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers.’ 

Your claim of permanent ownership is the same logic condemned by the prophet Ezekiel. You are repeating the error of those who said, ‘The land has been given to us as our possession,’ which God called an abomination.” “The earth is the Lord’s. 

You are a sojourner, as are the Palestinians. Your divine mandate is not to dominate, but to exemplify justice for the stranger, as commanded in the very same Law (Leviticus 19:34). You are in violation of your lease agreement.

You violate daily, the fundamental essence of Judaism – the Sanctity of ALL LIFE, not just Jewish Life. You may not realize it because of 2:9 & 3:9 in the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

GOD LIVES AND ACTS WITH THOSE WHO SEEK GOD

SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

This is not a new work. It is the same work In 1 Kings 22, the prophet Micaiah prophesies the death of King Ahab by initially mockingly agreeing with the king’s 400 officially approved prophets false prophets after he was warned to go along with them, but then describes a heavenly vision where God allows a “lying spirit” in the 400 prophets to deceive Ahab, leading to his fatal, random arrow strike in battle.

Micaiah delivers this truth to the king and his ally King Jehoshaphat of Judah, at the risk of his life, after which he is slapped by a false prophet, struck by the king, and imprisoned until Ahab’s return from battle. However, Ahab does not return, dying in battle as Micaiah foretold.

Factually, that Biblical War was over the King of Israel wanting to get control of the Golan Heights. It took over 1,380 years from the Time of Micaiah until Israel got control of the annexed Golan Heights in the 1967 War.

Micah the Jewish Prophet some 150 years later faced the same risk facing the ruler of Israel declaring: Hearken now to this, you heads of the house of Jacob and you rulers of the house of Israel, who condemn justice and pervert all that is straight. The Major Jewish Prophet Isaiah complements that prophecy in chapter 59: Rebelling and denying the Lord, and drawing away from following our God, speaking oppression and perverseness, sprouting and giving forth from the heart words of falsehood. Justice has turned away backward, and Righteousness stands far off, for TRUTH has stumbled in the street, and EQUITY cannot come.

It it any wonder, when the ‘chosen people of God’ were already on that Path some 2700 years ago, so many People don’t know what is TRUE and what to BELIEVE in OUR Generations.

Continuing in the Spirit of those ancient Prophets, I do what I can living my 82nd year, interacting with these People on X or email. I never get replies and I understand why.

PRESIDENT OF ISRAEL

Herzog @Isaac_Herzog

A painful and difficult morning. Innocent civilians, women, men, and children were brutally murdered and wounded in cold blood on a bus in Jerusalem by vile and evil terrorists. In the face of this barbarity, we saw extraordinary acts of heroism which prevented even further loss of innocent lives. This shocking attack reminds us once again that we are fighting absolute evil. The world must understand what we are up against, and that terror will never defeat us. My heart goes out to the bereaved families, and I pray for the full and swift recovery of the injured.

Ray Joseph Cormier @RayJC_Com

Every man is Righteous in his own eyes. Obviously you can’t see it, but the majority of the World can see women, men, and children are brutally murdered and wounded in cold blood by vile and evil terrorists dropping bombs from the air killing thousands of CHILDREN!

As for the Evil, you’re projecting as you defy the Lord God of the Jews. You speak of righteousness while presiding over the bombing of children.

The world sees the truth: you are not fighting terrorists; you are becoming the terror you claim to oppose. You defy the very God you invoke.

Scripture commands: “Love the stranger as yourself.” (Leviticus 19:34) “Give the stranger an inheritance among you.” (Ezekiel 47:22-23) Yet you subject Palestinians to occupation, apartheid, and now genocide.

You have forgotten that Abraham—a stranger in the land—was promised the whole earth, not a blood-soaked strip taken by force.

Repent. Return to the way of justice before the God of Abraham holds you accountable.

POPE LEO XIV

@Pontifex

To the intercession of the Saints and the Virgin Mary, we entrust our unceasing prayer for peace, especially in the Holy Land and Ukraine, and in every other land blood-stained by war.

To those in power, I repeat: listen to the voice of conscience! The apparent victories achieved with weapons, which sow death and destruction, are in reality defeats and never bring peace or security!

God does not want war, he wants peace, and he strengthens those who are committed to leaving behind the spiral of hatred and taking the path of dialogue.

@RayJC_Com

Which “Holy Land”? The small, blood-soaked strip in the Middle East—or the entire earth, which God calls His footstool? (Isaiah 66:1)

You speak of peace, yet confine holiness to a plot of land fought over for millennia. But Scripture says: “The heavens are My throne, and the earth is My footstool.”

If the whole earth is God’s footstool, then all of it is holy—and all of it is meant to become the Promised Land when humanity finally enters God’s rest. But today, “truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter” (Isaiah 59:14).

We see this in Gaza, in Ukraine, in the hypocrisy of leaders who bless weapons while praying for peace. You urge those in power to “listen to conscience.” Yet what conscience remains in empires that sell arms, bankroll genocide, and betray the poor?

Isaiah presents the choice clearly: Either we turn toward the rest of God—a world of justice and sacred belonging—or we face the fire of divine fury: “Behold, the Lord will come with fire… His rebuke with flames of fire.” (Isaiah 66:15) The “apparent victories” of weapons are indeed defeats.

But true peace requires more than prayer—it demands prophetic defiance of the systems of war.

Will you name the Beast? Will you declare that no land is holy until all lands are free? —Ray Joseph Cormier A witness to the whole earth.

VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE

@Mike_Pence

Check Out My New Op-ed in today’s Wall Street Journal “President Trump has opened the door to peace in Ukraine through diplomacy. Congress must reinforce his efforts by ensuring the tools of economic pressure are at hand. Passing Senator Graham’s sanctions bill would show Putin that America speaks with one voice and that our entire country stands behind the president as he seeks to end this war.”

@Mike_Pence

Ray Joseph Cormier @RayJC_Com

You have too many SINS of Historical OMISSION about the US WAR with Russia over Ukraine in NATO, so US troops and missiles would be right on Russia’s border. That Russia will not tolerate, like the US would not tolerate Soviet missiles in Cuba in 1962.

The 2014 CIA coup in Ukraine is the SIN of omission you refuse to name. This isn’t about freedom; it’s a US proxy war. Americans aren’t that exceptional! Russia justifiably feels the same way about US Troops on Russia’s border. The G-7 and NATO Summit put the World on the Path to Nuclear annihilation. US-NATO-Canadian WAR Propaganda leaves the unthinking & unquestioning population in the DARK they don’t know it.

Apparently with your religion you have eyes to see, but don’t see what is unfolding in TODAY’s Material World is the spirit of this letter unfolding before our eyes:

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. (false beliefs about God in Judaism, Christianity and Islam) For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth ($Billionaires, Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs and other IDOLS of the People) and of the whole world, (the majority of the silent Passive Powerless People) to gather them to the BATTLE OF THAT GREAT DAY OF GOD ALMIGHTY. Behold, I come as a thief. (when you least expect it) Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue ARMAGEDDON.

In 2014 the CIA orchestrated the Regime Change of the Democratically Elected, Russian friendly Ukraine government, installing the UN-elected, anti-Russian government that immediately started shelling the majority Russian speaking UKRAINIANS in the East bordering Russia, making this WAR you support with shrinking incomes inevitable.

In 1976, as Americans were celebrating Revolution, I reached an exceptionally high level of visibility at the Republican National Convention in Kansas City. As a Canadian, I was called out of the compressed crowd of delirious Republicans in the Lobby of The Crown Centre Hotel for questioning by the US Secret Service. The crowd was looking up to the SS restricted mezzanine expecting the President to be standing there any minute.

The SS Agent led me straight to the President’s podium, questioning me in view of the thousands of Republicans in the Lobby below. The Agent eventually asked me if I was Jesus Christ? Having no illusions about that THEN and NOW, in a nanosecond answered, “NO!” The very next question was, “Who are you then? A Prophet?” Being newly  BORN AGAIN for only 18 months, I was not as definite answering that question. The Secret Service has the long buried record of that 1 night in MY Life.

After the Republicans left town, The Kansas City Times published 2 historical newspaper records on my Time in their city, the 1st on September 13, 1976, with a followup on ALL SOULS DAY, November 2, 1976, this being a brief excerpt from the September 13 record: “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.”

The 1976 Kansas City Prophecy: Thirty Months to Destiny – The Fork in the Road of History Because of that history in my CV, when Biden was threatening Russia with Economic War in February 2022, like Trump is threatening CanaDa Today, I went to the OSCE Website DAILY, set up by MINSK I & II to monitor TRUCE VIOLATIONS between the US proxy anti-Russian Ukraine government and the Russian speaking Ukrainians bordering Russia. Violations were reaching up to 2000 a DAY, provoking the Russian SMO to stop it. That I saw with my own eyes. The Ukraine WAR actually started the week BEFORE February 24, 2022.

MIKE POMPEO

Director of the CIA and US Secretary of State in Trump’s 1st term. I interact with Pompeo often, this last time on the 12th. Several times I’ve included this video of him boasting “I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.”

@mikepompeo

Speech is not violence; violence is violence – just as human beings are not avatars of a political system, they are human beings. Our country needs a return to First Principles – and prayer – to defeat the scourge of political violence. ​

@RayJC_Com @mikepompeo

The Israeli murderous Genocidal massacre of Palestinian women and CHILDREN in Gaza with no defence against US jet fighters, US bombers and bombs, US Apache Attack helicopters, tanks and artillery, with 100% support and complicity of the US is POLITICAL VIOLENCE. Christ knows people like you have eyes to see and will not see!

Senators, 

This is my reply to your colleague Senator Tillis on X this morning. This is the State of The World I see unfolding as a Watcher from CanaDa.

Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis Sep 7

President Trump met with Putin 3 weeks ago. Since then, Putin met with his fellow authoritarians to conspire against the US. Then he returned to Moscow to authorize the largest air strike on Ukraine since the start of his illegal invasion. It’s time to stop this liar and murderer. 

Senator Tillis, you call Putin a liar and murderer? Look in the mirror. The US & NATO provoked this war by expanding eastward after promising Gorbachev they wouldn’t. That’s the original lie. This war is a direct result of American arrogance and broken promises. 

You’re repeating the same reckless brinkmanship that nearly ended the world during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kennedy wisely chose diplomacy over annihilation, but today’s warmongers—like you—would rather risk nuclear war than admit their policy failures. 

Kennedy’s warning echoes through time: “Nuclear powers must avert confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war.” You are pushing Russia toward that exact choice. This isn’t strategy; it’s a death wish. 

You serve the same spirit that killed Kennedy when he sought peace with the Soviets. Now, you align with the “unclean spirits” of Revelation 16:13-16—the spirits of devils gathering the kings of the earth, you included, for Armageddon. 

Your hypocrisy is staggering. You condemn Russia for violating international law while supporting US-Israeli strikes on Iran. You fuel genocide in Gaza while pretending to care about peace in Ukraine. You are a servant of the Beast, not the Constitution. 

Repent, Senator. Step back from the brink. Choose diplomacy over destruction, truth over tribalism. The world is watching, and God is judging. 12:15 PM · Sep 9, 2025

TRUTH IS FALLEN IN THE STREET AND EQUITY CANNOT ENTER

Peace, RayJC

The Price of Truth: Fear, Freedom, and the Divine Deliverance

The path of the watchman has always been fraught with peril. From Micaiah to Christ himself, speaking unvarnished truth to those who wield earthly power has often come at the risk of life and freedom. This ancient reality echoes violently in our modern halls of power, where fear has become a more potent silencer than any decree.

Today, after the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, we see both Republican and Democratic politicians gripped by a palpable fear for their lives. The threat of public violence, born of a deeply divided and inflamed populace, holds them in a silent bondage. They fear stepping out, speaking up, or challenging the narratives that benefit their parties, lest they become the next target in a world where the streets are no longer safe for truth-tellers. This fear, ultimately, is a fear of death itself—a bondage that has paralyzed those meant to lead.

But Christ came to set the captives free. He declared, “If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). And again, the Apostle Paul reminds us that through Christ, we are delivered from “all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery” (Hebrews 2:15). It is this divine freedom that breaks the chains of earthly fear. It is the conviction that there is a truth greater than any political agenda, a power higher than any human institution, that liberates the prophet to speak without compromise.

The picture above was published by The Ottawa Citizen a few days before this report of me being violently ejecting from the Visitors Gallery on the 1st Day of TV in the Canadian Parliament October 17, 1977.

An Ottawa Court placed me on Probation for 1 year for a dozen charges of ‘shouting, causing a disturbance’ speaking to growing crowds on the Sparks Street Mall. The Police always stopped my speech even though the lunch time crowd on the Sparks Street Mall wanted to hear.

Not 1 standard Probation Condition was checked off. Typed in at the bottom of the form were these explicit words, “not to attend on the Sparks Street Mall or any other Street in Ottawa for the purpose of SPEAKING OR SHOUTING. I was sent to jail for the 1st Time in my Life for breach of that Probation.

In protest, I walked along the Sparks Street Mall with a sandwich-board sign wearing the gag over my mouth all Day long. I couldn’t move very far before a crowd about 6 deep gathered around me all day long, half of them having regular cameras long before phone cameras, taking pictures.

As the earth turned and the shade of the sun moved, I didn’t know who and when the Ottawa Citizen photographer was in that crowd taking the picture? It’s remarkable at the instant shot, the shade of the sun off my nose formed a perfect line between light and darkness. In the darkness is FEAR OF THE TRUTH and in the Light is EAR THE TRUTH.

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, Hebrews 2:4

Will you, too, speak truth to power? Will you sigh and groan over the abominations done in our name? The time for silence is over. The watchman must speak.”

TRUTH IS FALLEN IN THE STREET AND EQUITY CANNOT ENTER

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

The title of this article is not just a phrase; it is a diagnosis of our age. Truth has fallen in our digital public squares, trampled by algorithms and political agendas. Justice, unable to even get in the door, stands barred by the sins of historical omission. The question is not if we will face this reality, but how we got here. Truth is not merely contested in our age—it is facedown in the mud of the digital square, trampled by the crowd. And justice? She stands barred at the door, unable to enter. This is not a political crisis. It is a spiritual diagnosis from an ancient text: ‘Truth has fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter’ (Isaiah 59:14). How did we get here? The answer lies in an unholy trinity of deception—one as old as religion itself.

Our world is facing an Unholy Trinity of Deception, a spiritual sickness that mirrors the “three unclean spirits” described in Revelation 16″13-16. These are the pillars of fallen truth that hold up a system of power and vanity. With TRUTH fallen in the Street, is it any wonder, some 2700 years after Isaiah, People Today just don’t know what to believe?

The first anti-Christ was not a man of chaos, but a man of zealotry—Saul of Tarsus. He was a Pharisee who knew every word of scripture but missed the living Messiah standing before him. His sin was the omission of the Spirit for the Letter; his “truth” was a weapon to condemn, not to liberate. He became the archetype of an institution that kills prophets and then builds tombs for them.

This is the ultimate sin of historical omission—honouring a dead past while persecuting the living truth. We see this today in the political and media establishments that venerate “democracy” and a “rules-based order” as sacred concepts, while omitting the bloody history of how that order was built and maintained.

If the Four Horsemen bring conquest, war, famine, and death, the Fifth Horseman justifies their ride. He doesn’t carry a sword; he carries a microphone. Once called the ‘Fifth Estate,’ the mainstream media has become a Fifth Column—a traitor to truth within the gates. Its weapon? Not fake news, but omitted news. It hides the 2014 coup in Ukraine, the eight years of bombing in Donbas, and NATO’s broken promises. This isn’t bias; it is betrayal.

Its primary weapon is not the lie of fake news, but the lie of omitted news. It practices systemic, ideological omission by burying the critical context that would expose the truth:

  • The 2014 CIA-backed coup in Ukraine that provoked this war.
  • The 8 years of shelling in Donbas that preceded the Russian intervention.
  • NATO’s relentless eastward expansion, a direct violation of promises made decades ago.

This is not a news crisis. We are facing an exorcism, where the spirit of propaganda manufactures consent for war and hides historical truth to serve the empire. The Fifth Horseman doesn’t carry a sword; he carries a microphone.

When truth is fallen in the street, equity is barred at the door. This is not a metaphor; it is a spiritual and mechanical reality. The tragic reality is that humans cannot thrive when they are isolated, for as the scriptures say, “It is not good that man is alone; I shall make him a helpmate opposite him.” This truth, which experts and amateurs alike are confirming, is as real today as it was 6,000 years ago. Medical science confirms the Genesis creation story of the male and female in the man, with the XY chromosome, while the woman has only the X. The attack on this fundamental truth is a direct assault on the very image of God.

This is why we see the bitter fruits of disconnection and division. The US Christian Nationalism that persecutes the trans and gay community creates an atmosphere of fear that leads to tragedies like the Minneapolis shooting. The hypocrisy is clear: politicians who claim to be “pro-life” in one breath will, in the next, divert humanitarian aid from agencies like USAID to fund more weapons and tax cuts for billionaires. They have not “saved money”; they have defunded hope.

This ideological cruelty is also at the heart of the genocide in Gaza. With US bombs and financing, tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children and infants are being murdered. This is a profound lack of equity. Every US-Israeli bomb and bullet does not eliminate the opposition; it recruits more civilians to join the legitimate struggle for their national aspirations. When a message of hate and violence is given a platform, it breeds more hatred and violence.

The US Dollar is not merely money; it is the image of a system that makes truth a commodity and equity an impossibility.

The path forward is not easy, but it begins with repentance (metanoia), a change of mind that forces us to see the omitted history. It is a path walked by a remnant—those who refuse to let the truth stay fallen. They are the ones who, like the faithful in Ezekiel’s vision, “sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed.”

“We stand now between two paths:
— The path of Saul: zealotry without compassion, truth without justice.
— The path of Paul: eyes opened by grace, turned toward the true Christ outside the system.

The remnants are those who, like Ezekiel’s witnesses, ‘sigh and groan over all the abominations’ (Ezekiel 9:4). They lift truth from the street. They hold the door open for justice.

Will you stand with them?
Repent of omission.
Speak what others hide.
Refuse the mark of the Beast.

The night is far spent; the day is at hand.

This is not theory for me. In 1976, I stood in Kansas City and declared America ‘found wanting.’ In 2025, I see that verdict unfolding in Gaza, in Ukraine, and on the streets of our cities. The writing is on the wall.
