There will come a time when the stars will move and a false messiah descend. All that we know to be true will falter if faith is not found. A time of repentance is now and a choice will need to be made soon. The men of power has aligned their final chess piece. It is up to ourselves to protect what means the most to us. Pray that God be at our side.
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. That is your oath.

A King may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus." Or that, "Virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that.
- King Baldwin IV
