Charlie Kirk shot at Utah Valley University.

Adrian opened my eyes concerning the range of the Joel 2 prophecy. I was not cognitive of the fact that Peter revealed that the Day of Pentecost was the actual advent of the fulfillment of Joel 2 and that it has been ongoing for over 2 thousand years.

Results of Joel prophecy that I believe are currently ongoing.

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:” Joel 2:28

The culmination of the prophecy will be as described in following verse.

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:”
 
When something like this happens I feel for the parents. Unless you are some type of satanist, a parent loves their children and always wants them to be successful in life. I can only imagine the sickness that father felt when he recognized his son as the main suspect. I believe I read he had been in law enforcement and also a youth minister. Not only is his son's life destroyed, his own life will be altered as well. He will always be the man whose son killed Charlie Kirk.
 
Yeah TPUSA tends to be a bit NAR in my opinion. I can't get the Andy Woods pastors point of view out of my head a few weeks ago where he was talking about Tucker going up on one of their events spewing false unsubstantiated things about Israel and the Jews. All the youth in attendance were eating it up. SMH

A friend of mine when I was 11 had a younger brother age 8. When the younger brother was 19, he was arrested, and convicted on a dozen or so counts of rape. He was a serial rapists. The dad could not live with that, lost his family owned business because nobody wanted to be his customer, and committed suicide a few years later.

I heard some religious Jews on the Israel Guys podcast and was surprised that they applauded that. Their view was not pro-Tucker, but with Charlie Kirk’s blend of loving Israel and freedom of speech he was directing people toward truth. These Rabbis were confident that truth would win.

Early this summer TPUSA had a major event in Florida. A staunch Zionist Jew named Josh Hammer agreed to debate Tucker and was first up. He said something like, ‘I can’t believe I’m on the stage with this piece of garbage,’ to Carlson! Charlie Kirk was the moderator.
 
I can't watch that. It was rough enough that the news had the moment he was shot. It's like losing a patient that you worked on desperately, it stays with you forever. I'm careful what I choose to see.

It's fine for others, just not for me.
I understand you saw people die first hand as a nurse. I know he was shot, but I wouldn't watch the actual part showing blood if they showed it. They didn't show that in this video any way. The cool part was when he was passing out free caps to people.
 

"Charlie Sent Me": Thousands Return To Church After Kirk's Death​


"Share this article:"

The shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah University has done more than rattle a nation-it has jolted thousands awake. Suddenly, questions of eternity, purpose, and truth are not just whispered-they're shouted. And this Sunday, America saw something few expected: revival.

Across the country, churches overflowed. Sanctuaries were bursting, parking lots jammed, pastors left astonished as people poured in. While no one can yet count how many new faces walked through those doors, social media painted a vivid picture: it was thousands. And they weren't there out of curiosity alone. They came for something deeper. They came to honor Charlie Kirk in the best way possible-by turning their hearts toward the God Charlie proclaimed.

What a legacy. Even in death, Charlie has accomplished what he prayed for in life: a generation shaken free from apathy, searching for hope, and daring to believe again in the God who changes lives.

Social Media Tells the Story

The testimonies are staggering. In the days following Kirk's death, post after post revealed lives being redirected, hearts being stirred, and souls confessing their need for God.

"It's been about 15 years since I've been to church and actually meant it. With what happened to Charlie Kirk, his image and message has reached me and I have made the decision that I am going back to church to find Jesus."

"Multiple coworkers I talked with today said that, after seeing videos of the assassination on Wednesday, they are convicted to start going back to church on Sunday. This is part of Charlie Kirk's legacy."

"This man, in his death, has given me some kind of spiritual propellant into Christianity. I've never owned a Bible, but I am literally about to buy one."

"My first day going to church is this coming Sunday and I'll be bringing my kids."

"Born Christian, turned Atheist around 10 years ago. For the first time in that long I prayed... I'm going to church soon to get back in touch with our Father. Charlie's offered me another chance to renew my faith."


This is not hype. This is not coincidence. These are real people, shaken awake. And judging by what we saw Sunday morning, they're not alone.

Evil Revealed, Hope Rediscovered

The murder of Charlie Kirk reminded America of a truth we often try to forget: evil exists. It's not theoretical. It's not abstract. It's real, vicious, and destructive. But here's the paradox-when people are confronted by darkness, they start searching for light.

And that's what happened this weekend. Thousands who had ignored God for years suddenly felt the pull of eternity. Suddenly the words of Jesus mattered. Suddenly the Gospel Kirk so often preached sounded less like religion and more like rescue.

Charlie's death has become a trumpet blast, calling men and women to wake up and remember that life is fragile, evil is real, and truth matters.

A Witness That Will Not Die

In his final public words, Charlie Kirk did what he had done his entire adult life-he pointed people to Christ.

"Jesus Christ was a real person. He lived a perfect life. He was crucified, died, and rose on the third day. And he is Lord and God over all."

He said those words just before his death. What a testimony. What courage. What clarity. And now, those words echo louder than ever before.

The early church knew this pattern well. Persecution often fueled growth, not decline. "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church," wrote Tertullian. When one witness fell, ten more rose in their place. That is happening before our very eyes. Charlie Kirk was a husband, father, leader, and truth-teller--but above all, he was a witness. And in death, his witness may prove even stronger than in life.

A Glimpse of Revival

This Sunday gave us a taste of what revival looks like. People prayed for the first time in years. Bibles were dusted off and opened. Pastors preached to unexpected crowds. Families walked into church together. Souls knelt before God in repentance.

But here's the sobering truth: a single Sunday visit is not enough. Revival is not a one-day event-it's a lifelong surrender. Jesus didn't say, "Check in once a week." He said, "Follow Me."

So yes, celebrate the overflowing churches. Rejoice in every testimony. But also remember-this is the beginning, not the end.

The Challenge Before Us

The story of Charlie Kirk is still being written-not in his speeches, but in the choices we make now. His legacy is not meant to be admired from afar. It is meant to be lived.

Rejoice in the thousands rejecting violence and turning to the true Prince of Peace. Celebrate those finding hope in Christ. But don't let this moment pass without asking the hard question: What about you?

You've seen the evil. You've felt the stirring. You've stepped into church. But will you take the next step? Will you surrender fully to Jesus Christ, who alone gives life meaning?

Charlie Kirk's courage has planted seeds. Now the harvest is before us. A generation has been shaken-what will it do with the shaking?

Evil has spoken, but God is speaking louder. The time is now.


 
Does anyone know did they have a private funeral service for Charlie in Arizona for family and friends? I know this Sunday the 21st they are having a public one for him at State Farm Stadium in Arizona.
This answers my question I am putting the link up for you all to see. They show him laying in the casket. Here is the link on Celebrity Hub Today. www.facebook.com/profile/?id=61574295964831
 
Candace Owens just put out a video claiming Charlie was being blackmailed by the Israeli Government. She makes it clear she can't prove the Israeli Government murdered but her Antisemitism came out strongly in that video and wow she sounds insane.

Even if there is any truth in that, you can just hear her hatred for the state of Israel and anything Jewish. :oops: I'm so glad I stopped listening to her a long time ago and that I know what the future holds for Israel from the Bible. Just as our government is corrup, theirs is too. None of that changes that God has promises for the Israelis and they will be fulfilled.

It's distrubing how she can't stand protestants now that she's Catholic and claims Charlie Kirk was close to converting to Catholicism. His Theology was definitely off with NAR and all that nonsense. God only knows and it's clear the World is turning on Israel every day.

The only thing I can see being sane is that there might have been multiple people involved in his death. Who knows.
 
Candace is delusional. She has become so convinced that Israel is responsible for every evil in the world, that naturally they had to be behind this too.


Also heard a podcast with Charlie and his wife where she said her favorite trip was when they went to Israel together even though they had each been separately before.
 
Maybe 'Last Dude' is fixing to go to church.

What has been bothering me is the de-humanizing coming from the right and left. Comments in articles at places like Gateway Pundit, and the Townhall group of sites I've been reading, about the left being "demons" and "scum" and whatever other pejorative are amping up. I've been guilty of the same when speaking from disgust and anger, emotionally. And not saying they haven't earned the disdain, but we sure are in a mess. Many voices on the left are outright calling for more violence, let alone celebrating what's been. I'm not sure they really want what they're calling for. I pray it doesn't come to that. May truth and light prevail for all the time we have remaining, may many come to their "turning point" and repent and accept Christ.

Many do want violence and to see us killed. You would be surprised. I think they do want what they are asking for. They have been deceived by Satan and are riddled with Demons. They desperately need our prayers before they end up in Hell for all eternity.

This strikes a chord with me.

I keep thinking of the verse in 1 Peter 3:9
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

They curse us and want to kill us because they are of their father the devil but who knows which ones can be turned to Christ by us not repaying evil for evil.

The devil is riled up, his time is short and he knows it. He just doesn't know how short, nor do we. Like you I'm guilty of speaking out in anger against the unfairness, the outright evil, the murder of a man simply because they don't agree with him.

If they are listening, -- some will be like Paul in the crowd as Stephen was murdered, we'll convince more of them with calm than reflecting their hate back at them.

I'm pretty sure the Holy Spirit will be working on some Paul's in the crowd.
 
IMHO I am convinced of two truths:

1) In the democratic party are a vast variety of people - believers and non-believers, good people and bad people, hurt people,
and people seeking to know truth...........and, some not even interested in truth.

2) In the republican party are a vast variety of people - believers and non-believers, good people and bad people, hurt people,
and people seeking to know truth...........and, some not even interested in truth.

And, even a third: there are people who do not subscribe to any party affiliation who are in the same boat.
.
And, that tells me that satan - that cunning deceiver - is having his hey-day with all of us. Yes, he knows his time is short, and he is
pulling out all the stops. And, he is reeking havoc on all of humanity....... turning us all against one another. We are not the enemy -
he is - but, he is certainly controlling the dialogue and actions among all of us. It is most definitely a spiritual battle...........and, we are losing.

If Father God doesn't once again send His Son to intervene in the affairs of mankind via the rapture and the tribulation period, satan
will win. We KNOW that doesn't happen, because God's Word and Promises to us are true. and are the same forever and ever. But, living
in this debaucled world in these times with sin abounding (among all of us) is beyond comprehension. Oh, that we could come together
as one, and support one another, and help one another, and be kind to one another, and LOVE one another instead of bashing and denouncing
one another. Oh, that we could remember that God loves every last soul who breathes, regardless of our differing points of view. If we say
we are followers of Christ then we should be emulating His example..........extrapolating all of the examples He lived and taught while He was here 2,000 years ago. I refuse to hate gays, trans, those less fortunate, the blacks, the Asians, the latinos, the immigrants.............the list goes on and on., God created us all, and I marvel in the fact that we are not all alike. What incredible diversity God built into mankind, without it life would be so boring..... so lifeless.

I am so thrilled that as we move further into eternity with God and Jesus and all the saints in heaven, we will not be spouting our flawed thoughts
and arguing with one another over this point or that point of God's Word........... we will ALL be in complete agreement with God Himself. No more holier-than-thou, no more I'm right - you are wrong, no more of anyone feeling they are better than anyone else. In that time, we will be of one accord.........forever. We certainly are failing at it now.

I have been sharing this far and wide to all the Candace Owens disciples.

Recently Charlie was asked what he thought about Candace and Nick Fuentes stances on Israel

Here is a snippet reel.

I'm pretty sure the Holy Spirit will be working on some Paul's in the crowd.
But at the time, Saul approved of the stoning of Stephen, and went on to persecute the Church further until Jesus stopped him cold on the Damascus road. I'm dense this AM, not sure I'm picking up your point. Are you saying the attitude Stephen reflected as he was being stoned is what may convince the teeth-gnashers out there? l'm not sure I could muster that, unless maybe I also directly saw Heaven opened. I'd be fighting for my life! I agree tho that reflecting back hate does nothing helpful. We have to turn that anger into resolve to do what's right.

ETA:
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

He is loved by Israel.

In Israel, public tributes to Charlie Kirk include a street naming, a mural and a missile in Gaza​

Plus, Jewish hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman pledged to create a fund to benefit Kirk’s family.

Israelis are paying widespread tribute to Charlie Kirk, renaming streets and painting murals in honor of the American conservative activist assassinated this week in Utah.

In at least one case, according to pictures circulating on social media, an Israeli missile was inscribed with the message “In memory of Charlie Kirk,” reflecting a recurring and at times divisive practice in the Israeli army.

“Direct from Gaza. He’d be so proud,” the right-wing influencer Hillel Fuld tweeted as he shared the picture.

Kirk, the CEO and co-founder of the youth organization Turning Point USA, visited Israel multiple times and defended it against right-wing critics, including during the current Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Israeli leaders including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were among the first voices to respond to his shooting on Wednesday, calling for prayers on his behalf.

Encomia for Kirk continued to flow from Israeli leaders on the right as well. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Kirk as a “lion-hearted friend of Israel,” adding that he “fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization.”
