The Divine Sign
Every year on August 15 an important Christian feast is observed: the Assumption of Mary into Heaven. According to the beliefs of the Catholic Church Eastern Orthodoxy Oriental Orthodoxy and part of Anglicanism this was the bodily taking up of the Virgin Mary into Heaven at the end of her earthly life.
This holiday is also observed by several Caribbean nations. In Colombia and Haiti it is a nationwide public holiday. In Guatemala it is observed in Guatemala City and in the town of Santa Maria Nebaj both of which claim her as their patron saint. In Costa Rica this day is combined with Mothers Day. In Mexico Assumption Day is an important festival. In Puerto Rico it is one of the most popular festival events in the municipality of Cayey (south of San Juan).
On August 15 2016 the Almighty God chose the sky of Chicago to cast his vote for president.
A yuge" heavenly Donald Trump displayed on the Lords ceiling demonstrated to us that neither the place nor the day were chosen randomly.
The Place
Thus for the Chicago place: God reminded us of his displeasure for the unhealthy policies of the Illinois senator turned into president of the United States Barack Hussein Obama. He constantly targeted his policies against the most blessed country on earth which the Almighty still loves and protects.
For the lefty Chicagoans this also served a reminder for their ugly manners and despicable reception they had prepared in their Windy City for the then-Republican presidential candidate. On March 11 2016 they brutally infringed Trumps constitutional right of free speech by blocking his rally in the city.
However this did not prevent Trump to easily win the Illinois primary on the following Tuesday March 15 exactly five months before the appearance of the Divine Sign.
In truth God sees everything and takes care of all things.
The Time
As for the date rare are the days of the year loaded with so much religious significance and variety of human events as August 15.
Let us review some of them. A few are related to the acute problems that concern the American society of today.
- the Assumption of Mary one of the most important Christian feast days and holidays; according to some sources Marys death occurred in 41 A.D. 11 years after the death of her son Jesus (in 30 A.D.);
- the beginning of the Arab-Byzantine wars (in 636);
- the Second Arab Siege of Constantinople (in 718);
- the foundation stone of Cologne Cathedral built to house the relics of the Three Wise Men is laid (in 1248);
- the end of the Byzantine Empire as a result of the Ottoman victory in Trebizond (in 1461);
- the Sistine Chapel is consecrated by Pope Sixtus IV (in 1480);
- Paraguays capital city of Asuncin (the Assumption) is founded (in 1537);
- The Battle of Fort Dearborn (now Chicago) is fought between the U.S. troops and Potawatomi during the Anglo-American War (in 1812);
- the Panama Canal opens to traffic (in 1914);
- coincidentally or not my maternal grandmother called Maria was born on the Assumption Day also known (in her native Romania) as the Falling Asleep of the Blessed Virgin Mary (in 1915);
- The Wizard of Oz premieres in Los Angeles (in 1939);
- effective surrender of Japan in World War II (in 1945);
- the birth of stadium rock with The Beatles playing to 60000 fans at Shea Stadium in New York City (in 1965);
- the Woodstock Music & Art Fair opens in upstate New York (in 1969);
- a radio telescope operated by Ohio University The Big Ear receives a radio signal from deep space named Wow! Signal" from the notations made on the project (in 1977).
The Identity
In case you still doubt the Divine Sign take another look to Earthly Donald and Heavenly Donald profiles. They are… I-DEN-TI-CAL!
