This homily explores the Catholic theology surrounding the Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell, focusing particularly on the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, also known as All Souls' Day. The central theme is the Christian hope for eternal life through sharing in Christ's resurrection, which is contrasted with a necessary acknowledgment of the spiritual realities of death, judgment, and the possibility of hell.

Join us for Episode 4208 with Rev. Dr. Kenyatta Gilbert, Professor of Homiletics at Howard University School of Divinity. In “The Day is Coming,” he opens Luke 21:5–19 and Malachi 4, naming the tensions of our moment—holy terror and holy grace—and calling listeners to courageous witness without becoming what we oppose. Rooted in the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 28, Year C), this message invites endurance, hope, and clear-eyed faith amid upheaval.

The Day is Coming - Episode 4208 | Rev. Dr. Kenyatta Gilbert | Luke 21:5–19; Malachi 4:1-2a | November 16, 2025

This sermon addresses the profound difference between man's perception of blindness and God's understanding of it, drawing heavily from John chapter 9, the story of the man born blind. Traditionally, both the disciples and the Jews believed physical blindness was a direct punishment for sin committed by the individual or their parents, reflecting a wrong concept of a judgmental God. However, Jesus introduces a radical new perspective, stating that the man's condition was not due to sin, but rather so the works of God might be displayed. Ultimately, Jesus defines the true affliction as spiritual blindness, which is the cruelty of heart and an unwillingness to accept divine truth, exemplified by those who witnessed his miracles yet remained closed off to his authority and message. The source challenges listeners to examine themselves to ensure they are not harboring this deeper spiritual ailment despite experiencing God's daily messages and works.

Blindness as seen by God Vs Man

"Judge & Jury" is a mid-tempo acoustic track driven by the upbeat energy of an Irish folk rhythm. The song uses the persistent metaphor of a courtroom to critique the universal frustration of being condemned by someone's prejudice before you've even had a chance to speak.

The Story: The protagonist finds themselves "sentenced in a silence" they couldn't break through, realising the verdict was based purely on the judge's (accuser's) flawed perception, not on facts or evidence. The music is deliberately spirited and defiant, transforming the bitterness of the accusation into a declaration of independence and self-control.

Instrumentation & Vibe: Featuring a driving rhythm guitar and lively fiddle lines, this track balances a serious critique with a foot-tapping, pub-ready arrangement. It’s a rallying cry to reject the judgment of others and reclaim agency.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1: The Shock of Silent Judgement]
I never heard the clock tick, never saw the jury meet,
Never heard a word from you, never did we meet.
I thought we were discussing, sharing plans and names,
Never knew I was sitting inside your own mind's games.
The hardest part is knowing you never said a word,
The verdict was delivered, but the facts were never heard.
I was sentenced in a silence I couldn't break through,
All built on the simple things you thought you knew.

[Chorus]
The verdict was in before the trial could begin,
Your judgement was solid your evidence thin,
My sentence is based on what you think you've seen,
No witnesses interviewed who were at the scene,
You keep the truth out with a willing violation,
You won't let my good work stand in your estimation.

[Verse 2: The Challenge of Awareness]
Do you ever stop and wonder what lens holds your sight?
Do you ever check the compass when you sail through day and night?
Is it simple ignorance? Or a choice you make each day,
To let your in-born prejudice simply lead the way?
You trust the myth of feeling more than the facts on the board,
And you don't even question the judgement you afford.
Have you truly never seen the crooked way you lean?
Or is the power of your bias just too comfortably mean?

[Bridge: Internal Conflict and Agency]
I finally see the mountain I've been trying to move,
It's not the facts I present, it's the bias you approve.
And how do you correct a flaw that's been woven in the thread?
How do you change a mind that won't get out of its own head?
So I stand here at the crossroads, where the pavement cracks and splits,
Do I keep pouring water on a fire that never quits?
What I do now is in my power to decide,
I just need to reject what I can't abide.

[Chorus]
The verdict was in before the trial could begin,
Your judgement was solid your evidence thin,
My sentence is based on what you think you've seen,
No witnesses interviewed who were at the scene,
You keep the truth out with a willing violation,
You won't let my good work stand in your estimation.

[Outro: Final Statement of Control]
I finally see the mountain, a peak you had to climb,
It's just the comfort found within your flawed design.
I know the truth you stubbornly refuse to face,
You will not see, preferring your safe, biased space.
My battle with your judgment is now completely done,
The victory in my power has finally been won.
I accept your choice; I take back what's my own,
What I do next is mine, and mine alone.

This is my cover/remake/recreation or whatever you want to call it of "Judgement Knights of Thunder" (ジャッジメント・ナイツ・オブ・サンダー ～伝説の勇者) (anime version) from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K OST. All parts transcribed and produced by me. Song originally composed by Psychic Lover.

This song literally makes me laugh out loud as soon as I hear "JUDGEMENT KNIGHTS OF..." Yet it goes hard; it's unironically a banger. The anime version is a shortened version of the full length song by the band Psychic Lover, which is worth listening to because the production on it is different and the instrumentation is more complex. There are more guitar parts, the bass doesn't just follow the guitar, and the lyrics actually tell a complete story rather than simply repeating "JUDGEMENT KNIGHTS OF THUNDER" a dozen times.

In my version, I added extra judgement, extra knights, and extra thunder to the lead guitar parts.

This is probably gonna get 50 views and then fall out of the algorithm... and if it does... it will BE THE WORK OF THE DARK REUNION.

How was the Jury to know? 

How was the Jury to know?
How was the Jury to know? 

Your  life is not presented as a complete
Toil
The programs that were installed 
The love that was withheld 
The promises broken 
The Tables empty 
How was the jury to know the pain in your Cry for help 

How was the Jury to know? 
How was the Jury to know? 
How was the Jury to know? 

Childhood 
Codes installed 
Societal norms 
Pushing you down at every return 

How was the Jury to know? 
How was the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to empathize with your soul? 

We asked to judge 
We asked to not be judged 
We ask you to be kind 
Yet We create the societal norms

How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know? 

How are we to understand and fix the problems at their very core? 
At the center of the program that created the wall 
A separation At the very creation

How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know? 

12 people 
12 souls 
One on the other side of the wall 

How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know?
How are we to continue and become whole?
Come to the center of our core?
The center of our Souls
Healing with kindness that we all ignored 
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ooooh

Love
Love
Love that heals us all

Repair breaks with heart and soul 
Repair fragments with gold
Repair fractures with love fivefold
Repair cracks with empathy
While off our collective tears with life of integrity


Kintsugi for every soul 
Kintsugi for every soul 
Kintsugi for every soul

Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ooooh
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ooooh


Judgement day [112312542025]

Emotions are sometimes like calm waves, a grey mist, or a full-blown storm. Next time a storm arises observe it without judging and just watch the storm as it calms down.

Upper Room Media is a ministry of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Its mission is to bring the word of God from a timeless faith into your hearts and mind anywhere at anytime.

The Orthodox Church worships God in continuity with the earliest Church, and as such is the oldest Church. It is a Church of balance: between the mystical and the tangible; between spirituality and theology; between the worship of God and service to humanity. Everything is in balance, otherwise known as right worship, which means Orthodox. It is not a denomination, but rather pre-denominational. It is not a religion but rather a life with God in Christ. 

The Orthodox Church worships God in spirit and truth (John 4:24) and dynamically incarnates that truth in every age - empowering all people from all walks of life to love God, others, and themselves.
