I think out of all the things that happened this past week, a truly devastating week, during the usual 9/11 reflections of September 2025, was the brutal murder of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, who was fatally stabbed three times in the neck while riding a light rail in Charlotte, North Carolina. She had just gotten off work at her pizza place job. She sat down in front of a very shady-looking dude, totally unjudging. Unpretentious. Unprovoked. She, with her family, had fled the Ukraine war and was falling in love with the security and opportunity in America when 34-year-old Decarious Brown, a 14-time prior violent criminal, decided to cut her throat for no reason. The whole murder was captured on camera, so there was no doubt about what happened. And it was fast, so fast that she hardly knew what happened to her. The blood poured from her neck as she only had time to look up at the killer, as he said with blood dripping from his knife, “I got the white girl.” Young Iryna only had time to look up at him, still holding her phone, which she had been looking at, minding her own business. He walked away to get off the train with other people sitting around her, not even moving to help. She passed out as the blood ran to the floor and smeared the floor of the train, ending the life of a bright young person who had everything going for her. That life taken by someone who was a complete parasite on society, a vicious killer who was good for absolutely nothing. As the video of the event was released, it quickly hit social media, and people were outraged and shocked, making it appear to be one of the worst things to happen to the public consciousness. Not that these things don’t happen all the time, because they do. But this one was a clear video, and there was no question about what had happened. And people were shocked. Then, on live television streamed all over the world in real time, we saw the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a Utah campus where he was speaking.
The Charlie Kirk story was so terrible that it overshadowed the story of poor Iryna Zarutska, pushing it off the front page. People can only deal with so much, and what we were seeing on live television was too much. The assassin of Charlie Kirk was Tyler Robinson, a young 22-year-old Antifa type who was so full of hate that he took the very purposeful steps of shooting the young crusader who is associated directly with the Trump administration in the neck during a very crowded campus speech where Charlie was simply talking to people, again, not provoking violence, but trying to build conversation. I see the Iryna story as more tragic because Charlie Kirk is more of a casualty of war, and yes, we are at war. Make no mistake about it. But with Charlie, he’s such a good person, it was horrible to see him hit by a bullet in the neck and see blood pour out like a garden hose. Everyone saw the killing, and if they didn’t see it live, they saw plenty of clips that were floating around social media. And as I saw it, I thought immediately that there is a vast evil at work here. This was more than just some random killers copying the news cycle. This was a vast evil that has been working in the background for many thousands of years, using these vacant personalities to commit their misdeeds. It’s not a conspiracy, but an understanding of how that evil works and how it uses dumb people, angry people, or compromised people to serve as its avatars in four-dimensional space. And it was sending us a message.
The kind of evil we are dealing with is clearly identified in Ephesians 6:12, one of my favorite verses from the Bible. And it’s precisely why Yahweh was seeking Joshua to lead the Israelites into the land of Canaan to destroy them, even down to the women and children. Why God was so angry at the evil so present in Canaan, and still very much part of the political story of the modern-day Palestinian two-state solution, is in dealing with this perilous evil that is always working in the background. To understand this evil, you must start considering that there are life forms in a multidimensional reality, which is a very real thing. The Bible is unique in the world as a piece of literature that studies this evil over a very long period of time, and there is a politics of doom that is attached to its concerns for the human race. And with the world turning toward Trump and the kind of freedom that America is providing the world, evil is showing itself in hostile personalities that are very real to us. But serve as avatars for the intentions of evil, embodying a personality of interdimensional concern. It can be everywhere all at once, and it often is. And only the Bible truly captures this relationship with the human race, of immortal beings working through political concerns in four-dimensional life forms for a purpose unique to their reality. Their interest in the human race is to rule over us with fear. And we were starting to lose our fear of evil and had been turning toward optimism, so an attack on our security was its motivation.
And you can tell because of the mode of attack. Within the same week, images of people being publicly assassinated by representatives of evil, either by slitting their necks or by shooting them in the neck, were seen by essentially the entire world. And psychologically, the neck is a hidden fear we all have because it’s one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. So it was no accident that both of these terrible, very public killings were by the neck, where we saw the blood running out from their bodies. These were statement killings by the nature of evil itself, working through agents of the human race, and attempting to regain control through fear, of all people, to serve a political order that exists outside our current time and space. Of course, the individuals who committed these assassinations are responsible and must be punished brutally for their crimes. And we must restore confidence to the families of the slain victims of these horrendous murders. However, we are dealing with an ancient evil that seeks to maintain control over the human race, and it is there that we must direct our attention. To understand it, we must first understand why Western Civilization was established after the initial attack on Canaan by the Israelites, led by Joshua. And why was God so mad at the Israelites for falling short of his ambitious goals established by the Ten Commandments, which were at the battlefront of all those military campaigns while destroying the Canaanites. And why God was so angry that mercy was given to anybody within those cultures. God wanted them destroyed, utterly, completely, and without negotiation. And today, we have the same quandary presented to us, which has shown itself in a vast evil that attacked all of us through these innocent victims, Charlie Kirk, a very popular personality directly associated with the Trump administration. And the unfortunate story of the beautiful Iryna Zarutska from Ukraine, just minding her own business and living her life. Their killings were a message to the rest of us in a desperate attempt to rule through fear. And we must respond with the opposite, attacking that evil wherever it exists at every level of reality. And we must be more ruthless than it is.
