When Wrath came to town

2026-06-15T18:05:31.479-05:00

Original unedited

By Leslie Jones McCloud

It looked like Wrath had come to town.
The tornado that sheared through half of North Merrillville three days ago leaves the area desolate like Wrath run amok in the streets.
It tore through Andrean Catholic High School, taking the tops of trees as its meal.
Broadway is blocked off at Strack’s shopping plaza and west on 61st Avenue.
The streets look war torn— like a dinosaur got after it with its teeth bared and gnashing, chomping through thick branches, leaving them in a way that looked like the bristles of a worn out toothbrush, splayed out in every which way.
It shocks the senses.
It crossed the street westward heading down 61st Avenue. There are deep trenches in the ground, utility poles snapped into pieces on the ground and useless. Traffic is diverted north down Harrison Street, where there is more devastation. Entire roofs are gone and huge oaks are on top of the bare wood roof frames that are now exposed to the open air. The stones on the homes are left standing from what anyone can see just slowly driving by. Traffic inched along Harrison Street for a few reasons: gawking, figuring out what street was open so you could get to where you were going and the sheer volume of diverted traffic from busy 61st and Broadway.

The reason for “shotgun marriage” is that the Church will not recognize illegitimacy, so it is better to marry than to burn (in passion). People used to belong to a church of any religion. Now, church membership is low. So there is no Bible teaching amongst the People, thus illegitimate birth, female-headed households, working poor, misplaced financial goals, and low-quality citizens. These Citizens are those who steal, kill, destroy, and lie and are likely to be the Dammed Unbeliever who misuse substances through habit (growing up watching others do this). They don't know how to ask God for help. They are unaware of how they come to the world. They are clueless. Many 😢are uninterested in learning because they lack understanding and learning is frowned upon in their households. Prison is a test to endure and they willingly go. Prison rather than books, learning, literacy, public school 🎓 and college degrees. These Damned Unbelievers are created by The Culture (which replaced the Church) and are designed to harm and cull them out from Godly People. Members of their race would rather not bother to warn because this type of news & information is unpleasant and has no solution for the Damned Unbeliever and could create a violent reaction. Imagine throwing ice water into boiling oil. Ouch! “If My People who call themselves by My Name would turn from their sins and pray, I will return them to Me.” The Culture used to produce a cleaner citizen; educated enough to know better than to be an offense. We had Books, Radio, TV then Cable. If it couldn't be broadcast on these, it remained unknown.My opinion is based on what I've read in the Bible.

"Like Simon Magus, whom the early apostles also confronted, the Nicolaitans introduced the concept of using the name of Jesus for commercial gain, dominance, and control. After all, the concept had worked quite well in the pagan temples of the vast gentile world, generating wealth and revenue for many societies" (Nicholas and Xmas by C. Franklin).

In a church setting, these people attempted to set themselves up to rule over the lives and faith of other church members. They tried to force others to submit to their arbitrary position of authority that God never gave them and which he hates! The Apostle Peter warned that leaders in the church were not to dominate over the faith of others but rather exhort them to do right.

The elders who are among you I exhort, even as a fellow elder . . . Feed the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight not by compulsion, but willingly; not in fondness of dishonest gain, but with an eager attitude; Not as exercising lordship over your possessions; but by being examples to the flock of God (1Peter 5:1 - 3).

The hierarchical teachings of the Nicolaitans openly reared their head during the Catholic Church's Council of Trent that was held between 1545 and 1563. During the council, they stated, "If anyone shall say that there is not in the Catholic Church a hierarchy established by the divine ordination, consisting of bishops, presbyters, and ministers, let him be anathema (a person who is to be detested and excommunicated)."

An Evil Structure

The entire top-down church administrative structure of the Catholics, as well as many other churches, owes its survival to maintaining what the Nicolaitans taught. Many "Christian" groups and denominations promote the belief in a strict church hierarchy where control over the people must be maintained and respected. The system they promote feeds on competition and strife among believers to take advantage of them at any time.

The Lord not only demands repentance from those who believe the doctrine of the Nicolaitans but also threatens severe punishment if they do not. God warns those who practice such lies, "Remember therefore from where you have fallen . . . or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place" (Revelation 2:5). May the warning be heeded!

Jude

For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.

Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt but later destroyed those who did not believe.

And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.

Similarly, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams, these ungodly people pollute their bodies, reject authority, and heap abuse on celestial beings.

Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.

Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.

These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:8-16 False teachers are dreamers; they greatly defile and grievously wound the soul. These teachers are of a disturbed mind and a seditious spirit; forgetting that the powers that be, are ordained of God, Ro 13:1. As to the contest about the body of Moses, it appears that Satan wished to make the place of his burial known to the Israelites, to tempt them to worship him, but he was prevented, and vented his rage in desperate blasphemy. This should remind all who dispute never to bring railing charges. Also learn hence, that we ought to defend those whom God owns. It is hard, if not impossible, to find any enemies of the Christian religion, who did not, and do not, live in open or secret contradiction to the principles of natural religion. Such are here compared to brute beasts, though they often boast of themselves as the wisest of mankind. They corrupt themselves in the things most open and plain. The fault lies, not in their understandings, but in their depraved wills, and their disordered appetites and affections. It is a great reproach, though unjust to religion when those who profess it are opposed to it in heart and life. The Lord will remedy this in his time and way; not in men's blind way of plucking up the wheat with the tares. It is sad when men begin in the Spirit and end in the flesh. Twice dead; they had been once dead in their natural, fallen state; but now they are dead again by the evident proofs of their hypocrisy. Dead trees, why cumber they the ground! Away with them to the fire. Raging waves are a terror to sailing passengers; but when they get into port, the noise and terror are ended. False teachers are to expect the worst punishments in this world and in that to come. They glare like meteors, or falling stars, and then sink into the blackness of darkness forever. We have no mention of the prophecy of Enoch in any other part or place of Scripture; yet one plain text of Scripture, proves any point we are to believe. We find from this, that Christ's coming to judge was prophesied of, as early as the times before the flood. The Lord cometh: what a glorious time will that be! Notice how often the word ungodly is repeated. Many now do not at all refer to the terms godly, or ungodly, unless it is to mock at even the words; but it is not so in the language taught us by the Holy Ghost. Hard speeches of one another, especially if ill-grounded, will certainly come into account on the day of judgment. These evil men and seducers are angry at everything that happens and are never pleased with their state and condition. Their will and their fancy, are their only rule and law. Those who please their sinful appetites are most prone to yield to ungovernable passions. The men of God, from the beginning of the world, have declared the doom denounced on them. Such let us avoid. We are to follow men only as they follow Christ.

Jude

Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their advantage.

They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their ungodly desires.”

These are the people who divide you, who follow mere instincts and do not have the Spirit. But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. To him who can keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power, and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testified to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
