Rioting and Looting: A Godly Perspective - Paperback

by Reverend W. Day Sr. (Author)

Rioting and looting are evolutionary terms and actions whose ancestor can be traced to biblical origins. They are never the primary action but almost and always prompted by some primary factor. They are the prodigy of the biblical "spoil" and "plunder" that is often the preferred method of seizure, restitution, or economic gains that God instructed the Israelite to assert their rights to.

America, the great nation that it purports to be is perhaps the greatest looter that has chartered a course that is contrary to God's will and in direct contradiction to her own creed "that all men are created equal." This trajectory has a stark similarity to the biblical account as recorded in the book of Exodus where the Israelite, for no other reason than their increased population growth, were subjected to cruel and unusual punishment of slavery at the direction of the Pharaoh and at the hands of Egypt's harsh taskmasters. This injustice spanned over a period of four hundred and thirty years before God intervened and exacted his divine retributive justice upon the "hardened hearts" of the Egyptian Pharaoh. The Israelite's, at the direction of God, "plundered" the Egyptians and were given restitution, compensation, and reparation for the atrocities inflicted upon them.

America is approaching four hundred and four years since the year 1619, and God has revealed that his divine retributive justice will be exacted upon America. Black people and people of color, after the plagues imposed upon America, will be granted restitution, compensation, and reparation for the cruel and unjust atrocities inflicted upon them.

To avert this impending doom, White America must sit down at the table of brotherhood with its citizens of color and acknowledge and dismantle her "white privileges" with the commitment to restore and compensate Black America for the injustices inflicted upon them.
