An 'Unlikely' Pair--Imagined 'This Interview



An 'Unlikely' Pair--Imagined 'This Interview'

On March 14, 2022,
early morning,

while reclining on a loveseat
sipping lukewarm coffee,
browsing my iPad's feed,

I stumbled across a brief article
peeking my 'neutral' curiosity:

the New York Times: 'The Morning':
entitled: 'An unlikely hero'... Because
of a 'love' for people, I am comprised.

Therefore, this opening caught my eyes:

"We look at Volodymyr Zelensky’s rise."

Stating his history as "a comedic actor
whose best-known role"--"a teacher
who rose to Ukraine’s presidency

thanks to a viral video.

That show, “Servant of the People,”"
"a cross between “The West Wing” and Monty Python."

Intrigued,

my inquisitiveness
did grow.

So, I came to 'understand'
as much as the internet
can authentically
'know'

that being 'Jewish'
speaking 'Russian'
taking on this significant 'role'

in presidency

was quite a 'feat'

without total vision
of his wondrous place

in humanity's history.

The 'Jews'--
once Jah's 'favored' people.

Christ's human birth
into their lineage--

Now 'enthroned'
'heavenly'...

Zelensky with Putin
on the brink of a WWIII...

I sat and wondered,
visualized this fantastic interview
in an 'unknown' future

with intense awe

I saw

Volodymyr Zelensky
and me--

He, Jewish president in a Europe
when attempted 'Jews' to erase,

and an African American woman
as CEO of a corporation whose 'people'
also bore universal disgrace

discussing
'survival'

because of recognition
that 'rulership'
belongs

to whomever the Sovereign
has deemed

'To Be'--

as quoted in
"Zelensky Answers Hamlet".

He termed: "the world's greatest actor"
right before a 'real' war of destiny--

The 'Battle of Armageddon.

Prophecied: "The kings of the earth
take their stand

And high officials gather together as one
Against Jehovah and against his anointed one."

Yes, as even John in Revelation
chapter sixteen envisioned:

"They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons
and they perform signs,

and they go out to the kings
of the entire inhabited earth,

to gather them together to the war
of the great day of God the Almighty."

Did Zelensky

recognize this 'irony'
and step back in line--wisdom

to: "Honor* (Kiss) the Son"
of his forefathers

permitting the Creator
and His designated One

now reigning
as 'King'

to end the march
of the world powers

in this time
seen

as
universally

the darkness of all centuries?

Psalm Chapter Two:

1 Why are the nations agitated
And the peoples muttering* an empty thing?
2  The kings of the earth take their stand
And high officials gather together* as one
Against Jehovah and against his anointed one.*
3  They say: “Let us tear off their shackles
And throw off their ropes!”
4  The One enthroned in the heavens will laugh;
Jehovah will scoff at them.
5  At that time he will speak to them in his anger
And terrify them in his burning anger,
6  Saying: “I myself have installed my king
On Zion, my holy mountain.”
7  Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah;
He said to me: “You are my son;
Today I have become your father.
8  Ask of me, and I will give nations as your inheritance
And the ends of the earth as your possession.
9  You will break them with an iron scepter,
And you will smash them like a piece of pottery.”
10  So now, you kings, show insight;
Accept correction,* you judges of the earth.
11  Serve Jehovah with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12  Honor* the son, or God* will become indignant
And you will perish from the way,
For His anger flares up quickly.
Happy are all those taking refuge in Him. © 3 hours ago, Lucretia McCloud    christian • hope • pain • sad • society • teen
