"Today He who hung the earth upon the waters is hung on the tree,
The King of the angels is decked with a crown of thorns.

He who freed Adam in the Jordan is slapped on the face.
The Bridegroom of the Church is affixed to the Cross with nails.
The Son of the virgin is pierced by a spear."

Most men spend their lives avoiding the fight.
Bernini’s David doesn’t.
He’s not posing. He’s not flexing.
He’s mid-motion. Muscles taut. Lips clenched. Eyes locked.
No applause. No audience. No filters.
Just the raw silence before impact.
Unlike Michelangelo’s contemplative giant or Donatello’s post-battle calm...
Bernini gives us the moment before.
The coiled will.

The heel striking the serpent’s head.

I set this as my wallpaper (feel free to steal it), not because it’s beautiful (it is), but because it reminds me:
The fight is now!

In the sacred stillness of the sepulcher, the Incarnate Word lay entombed. He who was dead to the world carried the sins of the world into death. In this holy repose, He began to trample down death with death. Death becomes life, the tomb a beginning...

In the beginning, there was an unfathomable burst of creation. The Assent Podcast proudly presents a dive into the cosmic inception of our universe as narrated by the Old Testament. Genesis 1:1 sets the stage, but there's more beneath the surface. #genesis https://t.co/phMDP28pGA
From the cosmic to the individual, from families to nations, a pattern emerges: Tune in for a transformative experience where ancient words transcend time. This isn't just a tale of the past; it's wisdom for today. #bible https://t.co/phMDP28pGA
Thought maybe should put my podcast on Rumble, why not? Probably should search up some good Christian podcasts on Rumble too and give them some like and support! #podcast#principles#AssentToTruth https://t.co/2iSQCr6Xg5
