00:01 A few years ago, I had the privilege of meeting
00:03 the president of Latvia 00:05 and speaking to him just a few minutes 00:07 before he stepped up 00:09 before an immense crowd 00:11 in the center of that capital city. 00:14 And they celebrated, 00:16 what I learned was called 00:18 the Great Deportation, 00:20 but it was the celebration 00:22 of their independence. 00:23 But remembering, half of their citizenry 00:26 had been sent to Russia. 00:28 It was a sobering moment 00:29 to see the weeping women. 00:33 For years, I've appreciated a piece of Russian music 00:36 celebrating the victory of Alexander Nevsky of Kiev 00:41 over the Teutonic Knights 00:43 and the celebration that's portrayed 00:45 there as of triumph and glory 00:48 and the people redeemed from the oppressor. 00:52 But unfortunately, when we look at places 00:54 like Ukraine and the conflict now with mother Russia, 00:58 probably that's not going to end 01:00 so triumphantly. 01:01 As always, we need to look heavenward 01:04 and realize that as Revelation says, one day, 01:08 that grand and powerful celebration 01:10 will take place. 01:13 For Liberty Insider, this is Lincoln Steed. |
