Discerning the Times: A Prophetic Word with Pastor Buddy Meloy
About this episode
Pastor Buddy Meloy of New Life Christian Fellowship in Lake City, Florida joins Philip Cameron to deliver a striking prophetic word about the spiritual forces driving today's cultural upheaval. Buddy shares how the Lord revealed to him — more than three years before it made headlines — that an "assassination culture" would take root in America, a warning he first voiced on Daily Faith in 2022, well before the attempted assassination of President Trump. At the heart of this conversation is a revelation Buddy calls "borders, boundaries, and evil spirits." Drawing on the Gospel accounts of Jesus crossing the Sea of Galilee into Gadara, he explains that "evil spirits never leave any place without making a scene" — a principle that illuminates why enforcing national borders, cultural norms, and even gender distinctions (Genesis 1) triggers such violent societal convulsions. He connects demonic territoriality to crime-ridden neighborhoods, corrupt courts, and the spiritual significance of judges and law enforcement as "ministers of the Lord" (Romans 13). Buddy closes with an encouraging word: the turmoil we see is not the devil winning — it is "Hell being dispossessed of its possessions."

“Evil spirits never leave any place without making a scene. They will never leave without making a scene. They don't go quietly.”

“When God starts shaking things up, it's not just removing things, it's putting good things in, creating stuff, building things.”
What's Discussed
Pastor Buddy Meloy of New Life Christian Fellowship in Lake City, Florida shares a series of prophetic warnings he delivered years before current events — including a 2022 word about an emerging assassination culture in America, and a 2011 journal entry about deportation of American citizens. The core teaching centers on a message titled 'Borders, Boundaries, and Evil Spirits,' drawing from Jesus' encounters with demonic forces in Gadara (Mark 5) and the principle in Romans 13 that governing authorities are spiritual ministers. Buddy argues that demonic spirits are territorial, that they enter through people, and that the cultural and political convulsions America is experiencing are signs of evil spirits being dispossessed — not signs of defeat for the Church.

Intro
Philip:With us. My name is Philip Cameron, and boy, do we have a show for you. One of my favorite guests is with us today, Buddy Meloy. I call him my prophetic Pastor, because I keep hearing the news and watching things happening and I keep saying, that's what Buddy spoke about. And we're going to speak about things that are happening and things that are still to come. We are living in the most extraordinary days in the history of mankind — never been days like this, never — and you are watching the wrap-up of history right this minute, and I sure hope you are ready to meet Jesus, because I believe he is coming soon.
Philip:As we were just so excited, help us if you would by sharing Daily Faith on your screen. You just hit share, you can share it with friends, and if you hit that bell it will remind you when Daily Faith comes online. Our dream and our goal and our vision is to have a place where you can come and have an assurance and an affirmation that what you're believing in, what you're seeing, and what you're sensing is exactly what it is. Daily Faith is also a new, very simple youtube.com/dailyfaith, and I'd love to meet you there.
Philip:And once again, tell folks about us as much as possible. Our shows are done in two ways. This is like a preamble to the actual show, and what we're doing is we go on to social media, but the program itself is seen all over the country in different television stations and different networks. Our main home base is dailyfaith.tv. You just anytime can log on to dailyfaith.tv and you can catch up with programs you've missed. You can go back and look, and pretty much anything that you might be going through, we've talked about it here as well.
Philip:We are on several networks that I'd love you to join with us on. If you are on Integrity Network, Journey Network, WGGS Network — and that's seen in South Carolina and Louisiana — and also we are on stations in Tampa, WCF, every Thursday, Tuesday at 6:30 in the afternoon. WFGC in West Palm Beach on Monday nights at 7 o'clock. WRXY in Fort Myers is every Wednesday afternoon at 1:00. And in Tulsa — we love Tulsa — KWHB every Saturday and every Sunday at 2:00 in the afternoon, and we love to meet you there. Tell your friends about Daily Faith.
Philip:I believe that God is positioning us and we are growing. We love getting letters from people constantly. If you have prayer requests, I will pray over your prayer requests. You send me your prayer request and I'll pray with you and agree with you for a miracle in your life. Let me tell you, it's not over. The battle isn't over. God is still on your side. And every time it seems, when the devil thinks he has got you beat, that's when God arises. And the Bible says when God arises, his enemies are scattered.
Philip:And Martha, I'm so glad you're watching us today from Branson. Hi, Martha. And I pray God will bless you. You're going to love Buddy today. He is going to speak life and revelation into your life. So I just want you to go and tell your friends about Daily Faith, because we want to be here, occupying, growing, until Jesus comes back. Listen, I'm delighted you're with me. Let's start this program. Welcome to Daily Faith.
Philip:Hey, welcome to Daily Faith. My name is Philip Cameron and I am delighted to have you with us. We have got a great program today. If you'll give me 30 minutes of your life, I promise you you'll be informed and inspired. My guest today, Buddy Meloy, is with us. He pastors a great church in Lake City, Florida. But the thing that he ministers to me in the area of my life is he has a tremendous prophetic word. I call him my prophetic Pastor, because he sees things and the Lord speaks to him through the scripture that comes to pass over and over again. I say, that's what Buddy spoke about. We discussed that on Daily Faith and he is here today.
Philip:And let me say this — if you love your pastor, you ought to give him a call and say, hey, watch Daily Faith. Really simple. You got dailyfaith.tv. We're live there right now as you're watching this. And you can tell your friends about us. And if you're interested, are you the same as me? Can you sense something's happening? There's a quickening. There's a change coming in the atmosphere. The Bible says when you see these things come to pass, lift up your head, your redemption draws nigh. So we're not going to be walking around blind and confused. We're going to understand the seasons. Red sky in the morning, red sky at night — I mean, these things you're going to see what's happening and be aware.
Philip:I had a great thing happen to me. Well, I guess it's a great thing. I had a birthday party because I got a birthday. I guess I turned 70, and my family — sneaks that they all are — got together and put together the most ridiculous birthday party I've ever seen in my life. The surprise, the big surprise, was that they flew my 96-year-old mum all the way from Scotland. My brother came from Scotland, my two sisters came from Scotland, and my niece and my great-nephew came from Scotland. We had an amazing time which continued for another week. It was fab. In fact, my mom is still here.
Philip:She made a cast of her hands — praying hands — my mom's hands, and she's 96, and our fingers are twisted through arthritis. But those are the hands that guided me, and she says, I wanted you to know that I pray for you constantly. And I now have my mom's hands to hold. We do mission work in Moldova that I'm sure you've heard me talk about, and we take kids in that are lost with no hope and share the gospel with them, and we're turning orphans into sons and daughters. And from the sons and daughters of the mission, these kids sponsor villages out of our village.
Philip:We don't believe what they did for my birthday — they made a videotape. I'm just going to show you a portion of it today. But they sent me a video from Moldova, from the beginning, from the place they were just about to start, to change for little kids between the age of 4 and 16. Watch this as orphan kids spoke to me about what we've done in their lives. Watch this.
Today we will all come together to celebrate you, our beacon of kindness, compassion, and generosity. Each one of us planting a tree as a symbol of our deep gratitude, a reminder of the lasting love and care has and will have on our lives.
Present life — something that we have today because you gave us the opportunity to grow, thrive, and reach our full potential. Trees provide shelter, something that you built for each one of us who had little or no protection in life.
As these trees will grow and flourish, they will stand as a testament to the life of someone who dedicated themselves to making the world a better place for children in need, encouraging future generations to carry forward the torch of kindness.
Through the years you have been our main source of refuge, and even though you have built houses that don't have your name on them for us, they have become loving homes that carry your legacy and celebrate your kindness, vision, and tireless efforts. In these homes our tired feet found rest and refuge. In these homes God's plan was put into action.
And here is where the bench carrying your name will become the symbol of care and stability that you have provided for each one of us. This is where our souls found peace.
Thank you. Happy 70th birthday, and 73 trees with roots of compassion growing in honor of a heart that cared for the least of these.
Philip:That is amazing. Those kids planted 70 trees for me in honor of my life, and they've come to us broken. Oh, if you knew the abuse and the hurt that they carry into our world. We have a place called Vatra Village, the most amazing place where young people come. We put them back in school, we share the gospel with them, and they find Christ, and by doing so they turn from orphans into sons and daughters. And from the sons and daughters of the mission, these kids sponsor villages out of our village. We sponsor villages, and they go and they care and they bring the gospel. They care for widows. They dig gardens in the wintertime and spring for vegetables all through the year. They bring wood, clothing. It's just amazing what they do.
Philip:Every girl you're looking at in this video is worth $300,000 a year to the trafficker, and we think that's a sin, a crime, and we're looking for folk just like you to help us. Those trees have been planted in a brand new place that we've just acquired for Orphans Hands. It is going to be a place for 50 small kids between the age of 4 and 16, and they'll be safe in this amazing place. And there's an orchard, which is now 73 trees richer. And at the same time there's a barn, and we're going to turn that barn into a Disney World for Jesus. We have the best youth camp in the whole country, and kids from all over Moldova can come and stay with us.
Philip:We're going to turn the barn into accommodation and all kinds of recreation facilities. That house is 80-odd percent finished. We just need the finances to secure and pay for it, pay it off, and also to finish it. And I'm asking you to pray with me. If you could believe God for something bigger than the world you're living in — the Bible says when you cast your bread upon the waters it shall return to you. There's never a seed that you plant in the kingdom of God that does not have a return address on it. You may have an unsaved loved one that you're praying for. Why don't you care for a child that has no parents, that has no hope?
Philip:And here's how we've done this. Everything you've seen right now is because someone is giving a dollar a day. One dollar a day can change someone's life for eternity. And if you could help us do that, if you'd like to help us with a capital gift to help us purchase and finish the new building called Promise House, we just can't wait to start showing you young kids coming there to hear the gospel. Every time we open a house it takes 300 people giving a dollar a day, and we have two houses to open. Would you consider and pray about giving $1 a day? It won't change your world, but I promise you.
Philip:For some little girl that's being abused by an alcoholic father right now, for some little boy that lives in terror of a dad that's drunk or wondering if he'll have food today — they need you. And I think they're worth us believing God together for one dollar a day. Our address is really simple. Maybe you're a business person and you'd like to give a gift from your business. We would love that. In fact, if you'd like to sponsor one of those houses, we'll put your name on that house so that you have a testament of your faithfulness to care for the least of these.
Philip:Get in contact with us if you feel the Lord prompting you to do that. Really simple: Daily Faith and Orphans Hands, PO Box 25, Clinton, Tennessee 37716. That's how you write us. Make a check out to Orphans Hands if you would. You can go online to orphanshands.org and there's a place there that you can give. Just make sure you write it to us. This is for the new place, the new home, Promise House. And you can be a sponsor mom and dad over these kids, to care for them and make sure they get fed and we put them back in school.
Philip:It'll change their lives. We get kids at 16, but by that time they've been abused and the orphanages are a terrible place. But this way we can preempt that and take them into our world when they're 5 and 6 years of age and spend the whole formative years putting the gospel into their hearts. So when they go to Vatra Village and go to university, instead of having to overcome their past, they'll have a past as bright and promising because it will be bathed in the love of God. You can make that happen. You can do that right now.
Philip:You can call 833-Daily-Faith, 833-Daily-Faith, and there's a real life person waiting to talk to you right now. And if you do so, I know that God will bring back into your life pressed down, shaken together, and running over. Please do that right now if you would. I've got a great friend. He's been a friend of mine for decades. We're growing together. He pastors an amazing church in Lake City, Florida. If you're going to Disney or if you're going to Florida and you go down the 75, you pass right by his door — New Life Christian Fellowship in Lake City. Check it out. You've got to go there. He speaks this kind of stuff, this prophetic word, every Sunday, and we love it when we go.
Philip:We've been friends for decades. Buddy, I am so delighted to have you on Daily Faith today. I've been watching all this news and all these things unfolding and I keep saying, oh my goodness, that's what Buddy spoke about. Oh, that's what Buddy said. You're living it. It must be an amazing thing for you to watch stuff that the Lord spoke to you in the past coming to pass right now, even as we're having all the difficulties at this moment.
Prophetic Word on Assassination Culture
Philip:Is your audio on? There you go. There you go. We got you.
Buddy Meloy:Yeah. My wife Abby — you know Abby — I'll sometimes and we'll have the news on and I'll say, hey, hey, Abby, remember that? And she says, yeah. But you know, I texted you recently about something we had done on your program, a couple weeks ago, because there have been people coming out about the assassination culture that has developed in America.
Philip:Explain that for us. We want to talk about that. Explain the assassination culture, because that's exactly the truth.
Buddy Meloy:Well, Jordan Peterson is the one who was actually — you know, he's the one who kind of gave that title to what's going on right now. But I looked at it and I texted you and said two years ago we talked about this on your program. This was before Trump was — the attempted assassination on Trump. I said, get ready, you're going to see assassinations, and people focused on the one. I said that's not the only one. It's going to become a problem. Assassinations are going to become a problem. The Lord showed me this. I went back because one of the things we mentioned was — I told you the Lord rebuked me about it — we talked about Shinzo Abe, who was the ex-Prime Minister of Japan, who was assassinated, and the Lord had already spoken to me this was going to start happening, and I didn't speak it out.
Buddy Meloy:So I said it on your program. I said I'm going to go ahead and get this out. I brought it to my church, and what happened was I looked it up, Philip — it was 2022. It's been three years ago. That was July the 8th, 2022. And we came back and did another program, I think in July or August, and I mentioned that. So it was three years ago, almost three years ago, that I said this is getting ready to happen. And this happens a lot of times — the Lord gives me things and it's maybe two or three years, sometimes longer, before it happens.
Buddy Meloy:I had a dream — I was looking through my journals looking for another dream that I had that I think is going to happen — and I saw a thing where I was arrested in St. Paul, Minnesota, and they were going to deport me. I was in St. Paul, Minnesota, which, by the way, is where Tim Walz is Governor. And I was like being held and I said, you can't deport me, I'm an American citizen. I was born in Georgia. I said you can't get any more American than being born in Georgia. I was in the dream saying it's one of the original 13 colonies and you can't arrest me. And I wrote in my journal, are they going to start deporting Americans? It's going to be something with deportation of people that they're going to claim American citizenship. And I wrote that — that was 2011. My goodness, that's how long ago that was.
2011 Dream About Deportation of Americans
Buddy Meloy:But one of the things that I have people asking — you know, we were struggling. I did a message back in March. People were struggling with what's going on right now because it seems like everything's being shaken. It's like, you see ministers under attack physically — you and I talked about that a year ago — and you see all the things that are shaken in our culture. And the Lord woke me up one night and he gave me one word. He gave me a one-word answer for it, Philip, and I did a message called Borders, Boundaries, and Evil Spirits.
Borders Boundaries and Evil Spirits Revelation
Buddy Meloy:And he says it's a border-boundary issue. He said the whole thing is a border-boundary issue. He said there is a battle over the borders and boundaries of not only nations but cultures. And he said on every level that is the battle. And I wrote down the statement that an evil spirit never gives up territory or anything without a fight. That is so true. You know, when you think about it — when I was thinking about the transfiguration — when Jesus came down, the first thing he met with his disciples was an evil spirit that could not be cast out by the disciples. And he said this one's a difficult one, only comes out by fasting and prayer.
Buddy Meloy:So when Jesus rebuked it, it didn't immediately come out. It threw the young man on the ground. He convulsed, writhing on the ground. If you go back and read it, it's a violent convulsion. And the Holy Spirit spoke to me. He said, Buddy, evil spirits never leave any place without making a scene. They will never leave without making a scene. They don't go quietly.
Buddy Meloy:And he said they're territorial. You know, when you look back — when Jesus crossed over the Sea of Galilee to go into Gadara — both times he went there, there were storms in advance. First time he went over asleep in the back of the boat. Second time he walked on the water. But both times, in the same place, it was like the devils knew they were coming. And by the way, the devils that he cast out of the Gadarene demoniac — the first thing they said was, have you come here to torment us before our time? And then they were asking, do not send us out of this country. Demonic spirits are territorial, not just over people but over territory.
Evil Spirits Never Leave Without a Scene
Buddy Meloy:And so what happens is he cast them into the swine, which, by the way, affected their economy. And I think — I think what you're saying is the trouble with Haiti. I think that place is under demonic control, and there was such a grip on that country that for all the billions upon billions — I mean, we've sent more money, the West and the world has sent more money to Haiti, they could have made everybody in Haiti a millionaire — and yet they continue in this disastrous cycle of destruction. And I believe that is one country that is obvious in the Western Hemisphere that is under demonic control.
Buddy Meloy:Even in America — let me just throw something out to you, Philip. In every city there are areas where you go, that's a bad area. That area is known for drugs. That area is known for prostitution. That's a crime-ridden area. You go there, you might get robbed, you might get shot. Murder is a problem there. What causes that? How does that get there? What would make the difference for that not being in that part of that city?
Buddy Meloy:So how do they get there? They get there through people. They travel through people. The devil sees every one of us, Philip, not as a person but as property. Think about the demonic spirits when they're cast out. What happens to them? It says they go into dry places, then they come back to their house. A house is a piece of property. It's a territory. It's something that's inhabited. It's a person that's inhabited, but the demonic spirit sees it as a home, as a house. Comes back, finds it cleaned and swept. If you don't put something in it, what happens is seven more come back and it's in a worse state.
Demonic Territoriality Over Cities and Nations
Buddy Meloy:You've got to realize the devil does not release territory easily. So one of the things we don't see as spiritual believers is Romans chapter 13. Romans chapter 13 talks about the authorities that are there bearing the sword in representation of the Lord. So there's a spiritual battle just in law enforcement, and I think we don't see it — they are ministers of the Lord. So when you start emphasizing or enforcing law, it is now a spiritual battle. They rise up. They convulse.
Philip:That is so true. Funny you should mention that — I sent a meme today, a little short video clip of this woman in a car. I mean, if ever I saw a demon-possessed woman — she was in a car and she was screaming at the cop. It was a cop's video camera. I'll send it to you. It's hysterical. And she is screaming because he did not use his indicator, and in a totally foreign voice she's saying, Jesus, give him a ticket. And I'm thinking, oh my dear lady, you've got more problems than the guy wanting to give the guy a ticket for not indicating.
Philip:And as you're talking about it, it kind of — there are a whole bunch of things that fall into place. That's why we're having these issues.
Buddy Meloy:It's a territory of darkness. There's a territory of darkness that has invaded our culture. And you've got to realize everything is about boundaries. Let me just divert for a moment. Obviously we're talking about national boundaries, and God is a God of boundaries. Cultural boundaries. Gender is a boundary that God established. He created them male and female. So where is the battle right now? We're coming back with laws that are saying there are male and female. So what happens? It goes to court, where there are judges. Now understand this — judges are authorities that are placed in a position of authority to enforce the law. When you don't have the right judges, they don't enforce right law. What does that allow? It allows that spirit to continue to operate.
Buddy Meloy:I've never really seen on a spiritual level fully that when God has people in positions that enforce law, it actually has a spiritual connotation. You're dealing not just with legalities, you're dealing with spiritualities, you're dealing with principalities that come in with people. That's why you have areas in your community that are drug areas. And what do they do? If they can go in there not only with law enforcement but with believers — we want to win them to Christ. That's a big thing. And you want to put something there. But also at the same time you have law enforcement that is actually, in a way, ministers. And if you don't put the right judges in, it allows these spirits in. Absolutely. The Supreme Court allows the spirits in. The President of the United States allows those spirits in.
Romans 13 Judges as Spiritual Authorities
Buddy Meloy:And they travel through — we hate to say it because we don't see it this way — they come in through people. Spirits come in through people. That's amazing. You know, the Bible says do not give place to the devil. The word there, place, is the word topos, where we get the word topography or topographical map. It's territory. It's land. So when we allow — I hate to say it this way — but gang members who are killing and murdering people and raping people and torturing people, Philip, that's demonic. So you allow it in. And what happens? We pray about it, but somebody starts doing some law enforcement. And what happens? The whole place starts shaking. Convulsions start occurring, all kinds of things. And people are going, what's going on?
Buddy Meloy:And what's happening is you're dealing with evil spirits that have been allowed not just to enter our nation but to perform activities that are demonic. And when you start dealing with them, they don't release without a fight. And so we're in a spiritual battle where the turmoil that we're seeing is hell being dispossessed of its possessions, and they don't want to give it up.
Hell Being Dispossessed of Its Possessions
Philip:I know we've got two minutes left. This man — when you're on this show I always think this should be an hour show. You're watching, and your family is in turmoil. Let me tell you why — it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, because the devil is being put out of his territory. And in the name of Jesus I speak over your circumstance. Whatever you're facing, this disorder that's in your world — it's God stirring things up. We always attribute stuff to the devil. I've got news for you. The devil is not as big as you think he is compared to the power of God. There is no comparison. And I speak into your life right now power and authority to say to the strong man that's in your house, you are leaving this home. It is possessed by God and not by you. And God is going to bring peace because he's going to cast out the devils of your life that cause sickness and discord and all the junk, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
Philip:But we've got a minute left. Tell us, give us something to go on, something to leave with today, on the positive side.
Buddy Meloy:When God creates, it's about boundaries. I share this with you — at the end, remember, he divided the night from the day, dark from light, light from darkness, the land from the waters, the sky from the firmament. This is a book, by the way. This is a book.
God Creates Through Boundaries and Division
Philip:Buddy Meloy. So what happens, Philip, is I don't think that stuff is just shook up. I think it started, it shook up everything, land starts rising up. Can I say this to people — when God starts shaking things up, it's not just removing things, it's putting good things in, creating stuff, building things.
Philip:Buddy, I love you so much. I appreciate you so much.
Buddy Meloy:Love you too, Philip.
Philip:That is a tremendous word. New Life Christian Fellowship in Lake City, Florida. I want you to go and see him if you're ever in the area, going down to Disney World or going down to Florida. Go and see him. Thank you for watching Daily Faith today. We love being with you. We love sharing the truth of God in your life. God is on your side and the devil's getting out of your boundaries. See you again. Bye-bye.
For over 25 years the Cameron family has been changing the lives of orphans in Romania and Moldova, from providing running water, flushing toilets, and clean wells, to coal for heat, new windows, as well as food and clothing. They championed the physical needs of the orphans in these broken and desolate countries. Many of Moldova's orphans are saved from the horrors of trafficking through homes founded by the Camerons, and in the process orphans become daughters and sons. They come to know their heavenly Father and are forever changed by the love of Jesus.
God helped the Camerons lift these amazing young men and women out of darkness. Now, no longer orphans, they want to return and invade that very same darkness with the light of Jesus Christ. Orphans Hands equips these daughters and sons to become missionaries. Your monthly gift of $11 will allow us to rescue and take in more girls and boys, saving them from the hell of human trafficking. Your monthly partnership will allow us to care for those in the Orphans Hands homes in Moldova and Ukraine. You want to join Philip and Chrissy in taking care of these precious young people? Please contact us today by calling 833-Daily-Faith. You can also give by going online to orphanshands.org. So many lives depend on what we do. Thank you for loving the lost.
Common questions
What did Buddy Meloy predict about assassinations, and how far in advance did he say it?
Buddy says that roughly three years before the attempted assassination of Trump, he told his church and Philip's audience to expect assassinations to become a recurring problem — not just a one-off event. He traces the warning back to July 2022, when he connected it to the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, noting the Lord had already shown him this pattern was beginning.
What does Buddy mean when he says the current cultural chaos is a 'border-boundary issue'?
Buddy says the Lord woke him up one night and gave him a single word to explain the upheaval: borders. He believes the battle is over the boundaries of nations, cultures, and even gender — and that evil spirits are territorial and never surrender ground without a fight, which is why enforcing any kind of boundary (legal, cultural, or spiritual) triggers visible turmoil and 'convulsions' in society.
Why does Buddy think demonic spirits are connected to specific neighborhoods or geographic areas?
Buddy points to the biblical account of the Gadarene demoniac, where the cast-out spirits begged Jesus not to send them 'out of this country,' as evidence that demonic spirits are territorial — they inhabit places, not just people. He applies this to modern cities, arguing that drug zones, crime corridors, and areas of persistent poverty reflect demonic strongholds that have been allowed to take root over territory.
How does Buddy connect law enforcement and judges to spiritual warfare?
Buddy draws on Romans 13, which calls governing authorities 'ministers of the Lord,' to argue that enforcing law is inherently a spiritual act. He says when the right judges and leaders are in place, it restricts demonic spirits from operating freely — and when they're not, it effectively opens the door for those spirits to continue. In his view, a Supreme Court ruling or a president's policy can have direct spiritual consequences.
What is Buddy's encouraging takeaway for people whose personal lives feel shaken up right now?
Buddy says that when God shakes things up, it isn't only about removing what's bad — it's also about creating and building something new. He points to the creation account, where God established order by drawing boundaries (light from dark, land from water), and says the current shaking is God doing the same thing: dispossessing hell of its territory and putting good things in its place.
