Sunday, Oct. 18, was not a day of worship in Chile’s capital city center.

Groups of hooded protesters entered two Catholic churches setting fire to the St. Francis Borgia Church, which is the parish of the Carabineros, Chile’s police force, and to the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Both churches are among the oldest in Santiago. Both were severely damaged, possibly beyond repair.

Television images showed masked protesters filming and cheering outside the building as the spire of the Church of the Assumption collapsed and crashed to the ground.

The scene even caught the attention of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who called it “Christphobia” on Twitter.

One protester posed inside of the burning church and shared the picture on social media with the caption: "The only church that illuminates is a burning church." (In Spanish: “La única iglesia que ilumina es la que arde.”) The account was created on Sunday, Oct. 18, leading some to believe it’s a bot account.

Why?

1 Peter 5:8-9
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

The inequality

All the evil in the world .... satan is behind it. All are in the middle of a spiritual war.

We do patiently await our Lord to take all the survivors home to be with Him.

The exact words.
The problem is that they become majority.

We are made aware there will be great tribulation in this world ... and there certainly is and no doubt will get worse .... many "battles" being fought on many levels ... however ... I do rest in Him knowing the war has indeed been won by Him and look forward to His return and He ends this chaotic mess for eternity.

Even so .... come Lord Jesus. Amen.
