As an experienced journalist with a keen interest in geopolitics, I have dedicated my career to unraveling the complexities of global affairs and their impact on societies worldwide. Through my work, I strive to bring clarity and insight into geopolitical issues that shape our world.
Simultaneously, as a devoted attendee of a Bible college, my fascination lies in exploring and understanding biblical revelation. I am drawn to the prophetic anointing—a divine gift that delivers messages of exhortation, edification, encouragement, and empowerment. This spiritual journey enriches my understanding of faith and enables me to communicate profound insights that resonate with seekers of spiritual truth.
Furthermore, as a man of literature deeply enamored with the canon of Man, I am captivated by the evolving narrative of what it means to be human in the Age of Technology. Through literature, I explore the nuances of human experience, identity, and existence in a technologically advancing world. I am committed to exploring the possibilities and implications of our technological age on the human condition, seeking to uncover truths that transcend time and technology.
Combining these passions—geopolitics, biblical revelation, and literature—I am driven to illuminate connections between global events, spiritual insights, and the evolving human narrative. My journey as a journalist, student of prophecy, and explorer of literature converges in a pursuit of understanding and articulating the profound intersections of humanity’s past, present, and future.
