Jessica Nichole Devoto: A Woman Clothed with the Sun, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In September 2017, a rare astronomical alignment mirrored a passage from the Book of Revelation about a woman clothed with the sun giving birth to a king-child. Around this time, America was entering a new phase of political and moral upheaval under Donald Trump. Was this coincidence, or could ancient scriptures have anticipated our present crisis?

A Woman Clothed with the Sun explores the striking parallels between ancient eschatological texts, primarily the Book of Revelation, supplemented by selections from the quatrains of Nostradamus and the readings of Edgar Cayce, and the existential threats facing American democracy in the 21st century. Written through a secular lens, this book reimagines these prophecies as symbolic warnings about the rise of authoritarianism, disinformation, and political polarization, and also as a call to courage, vigilance, and hope. The "beast from the sea" becomes a stand-in for demagogues like Donald Trump.

The "beast from the earth" or the "false prophet" echoes powerful figures like Elon Musk. The fall of "Babylon" mirrors the decline of American ideals and our global reputation. This is not a religious treatise or a doomsday warning; it is a call to civic action. We are the savior we've been waiting for.

Blending scriptural exegesis, political insight, and cultural commentary, A Woman Clothed with the Sun offers a new moral narrative for secular progressives and spiritually curious readers alike.
