White House's Karoline Leavitt appears to connect earthquake to Charlie Kirk's death and Biblical prophecy

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday shared a social media post on a personal account suggesting that an earthquake recorded in Utah last week was a sign of God’s anger at the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Leavitt, who describes herself as a devout Christian, shared a post on Instagram that read: “On the night Charlie was shot, a 4.1 earthquake struck Utah. In scripture, 40 represents trials; 41 signifies a shift. It hit at 5:57 local time, 7:57 Eastern.”

“Acts 7:57 describes Stephen, the first martyr, stoned as the crowd silenced his truth. The Bible says the earth trembles when God is angry. That night, as a voice was silenced, the ground groaned.”

She reposted the screenshot of a Twitter post, adding: “Wow.”

Hey Christian Barbie Spokesperson what about this?
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”

And that covers both you and Kirk too.

BTW I think Leavitt knowingly said that shit in order to pull attention from the real
stories that Kirk was shot by a gun toting right winger from a Republican Christian
Trump voting gun loving home and that blaming the left for the shooting is now the
operating software for the Trump Administration. This is a planned diversion.

Mrs Leavitt, and others in her culture, live
in a world of demons, spirit agents, and magical events. She, and the others, have a tenuous attachment with objective reality which allows them to weave and mix what they imagine with what they experience in daily life. The result is a confusing worldview that they don't really trust because it makes little sense regardless of whether they put the emphasis on the magical side or on what their senses reveal. This creates a lifelong trap of insecurity that cannot be easily relieved.

She could have said, with equal "validity" in her mind, that the Utah earthquake was a sign that Charlie Kirk should tone down or even stop his malevolent behavior but she decided to take the path of magic that gives her a dopamine rush instead.

Revelation 13:

1And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”

5And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,a that is, those who dwell in heaven.
7Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.b And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 9If anyone has an ear, let him hear:

They are down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and nutty biblical prophesies.

We need to be in the streets now, there’s not much time before everything is a looney-tunes fairy tale that will be broadcast on TV, Radio, Social Media and taught in schools!

It’s coming!
