In Luke 5:27 it says, “Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. 'Follow Me,' He told him, and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.” Levi is an interesting character; he is Jewish, but he is collecting taxes, from his own people, for the benefit of the Roman government. He is batting for the other team! He was consciously participating in a wealth transfer from the Jewish people to the Roman authorities. As well as their shekels, Levi’s brothers and sisters were losing what little control they had over their lives.  

I watched an interview that Patrick Coffin did with child psychiatrist, Dr. Mark McDonald where he spoke about an increase of, what he called, ‘untethered anxiety’, in his young patients, since the onset of the Covid pandemic. Where this anxiety was free floating and not anchored to some specific issue, in their lives, it produced ‘dread’ as opposed to ‘fear’. This psychological state is a precursor to deep depression and mental illness. Dr. McDonald found it hard to fathom how in the name of ‘Covid public health’ the medical establishment were knowingly visiting this plague on the younger members of society. He said that, although he would not consider himself ‘religious,’ he would class some of the activities of our current social institutions as ‘evil’.
