The “big king” is often a symbol of empire, domination, or political power that God permits to rise temporarily, but ultimately holds accountable.

and for this we wait, "Now, because of their whoring life among the pagans,
I’m going to gather them together and confront them.
They’re going to reap the consequences soon,
feel what it’s like to be oppressed by the big king."

God condemns corrupt leadership. In Hosea 8:4, (Msg) “They crown kings, but without asking me.
They set up princes but don’t let me in on it.
Instead, they make idols, using silver and gold,
idols that will be their ruin.
Throw that gold calf-god on the trash heap..."

My strong sense of 'justice' gets crossed daily by what I read about in the USA. Jesus embodied justice through mercy and truth. He confronted religious and political hypocrisy, flipped tables in the temple, and stood with the marginalized. His justice was not vengeance—it was restoration.

This is preposterous: March '25, Noem stated that “kids of migrants have the option” not to cross the border illegally, implying that children bear some responsibility for their circumstances. Noem insisted: “Well, the kids do have a choice.”

Jesus healed the sick, welcomed the foreigner, and lifted up the outcast.MAGA Jesus builds walls, cages children, and cheers for war.We grieve how far some have strayed from the real Jesus.

Temperature dropped here in S ONT Canada. Set up feral cat warm feeding station yesterday and today. Will prep the warm sleep centre too--our pool house. Get ready for feral cats in your neighbourhood.

He ain't going to heaven, his gods are money, power, and corruption.

He wants to prove to God that he is good so he can get into heaven. (Loser).

Unhinged.

Be aware of barometric pressure changes. Screaming headache started precisely 6 pm and I noted barometric pressure had done a sharp rise and drop right then. #ME/CFS.

I relate.

In Ps.25:10: 'All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love & faithfulness.' We must not buy into war against US cities being peddled today. Or fear. Or racial profiling. Losing the 1st & 4th amendments. Our path is steadfast love. Neighborliness. Steadfast love is my work today.

The more we practice deceit, the more incapable we are of speaking or even recognizing truth. Deceit functions like a narcotic, and it is ingested in order to silence guilt or empathy for others so that a deadened soul can continue its destruction.

Karoline Leavitt is calling this a "Democrat led shutdown" and saying, "The Democrats shut it down." Um, the Democrats don't lead anything. The Republicans literally run everything right now. Like, everything. If only the Democrats had the power to shut down what the GOP is doing to our neighbors.

Yes, and why we may say our fatigue has 'layers'. Layers of causes.
