Now we're right outside the Emanuel AME Church, as you can see a little bit down that way.
I was walking down the street and we ran into a viewer, Jeffrey, and he's going to tell us about the Holy City.
Jeffrey?
So the Holy City, the Holy City is a very, very spiritual place.
Most people think that it's called the Holy City because of all of the churches.
We have the most churches in the country with the tallest steeples.
It has nothing to do about that.
Denmark VZ spoke about why it's called the Holy City.
And the truth about why it's called the Holy City is because of when Christ first came to earth, he came to Jerusalem, Israel, the Holy City.
And Jerusalem is on the 33rd parallel.
And the highest degree that a master mason can achieve is 33 degrees.
That's when you have reached what they call the God status.
Christ says, as above, so below.
As above, so below.
Most people never really try to understand what it means, but it's very significant.
So Jerusalem, Israel, is the holy city, and it's on the 33rd parallel.
Christ says, as above, so below, which is the perfect opposite.
If you go to the complete opposite end of the globe from where Jerusalem is, you end up in Charleston, South Carolina, which is on the 33rd parallel, and we are the holy city.
And it has everything to do about when Christ returns, this is where he's coming back to.
So when he first came, he was in Jerusalem, the Holy City, 33rd Parallel, Acts 5, verse 30, they hung him on a tree.
On Ashley Avenue, which is not very far from here, we have a one-way street where they hung Denmark Vesey.
That tree is very significant.
They hung him and all of his followers, the people that had the knowledge that he was teaching.
And this is one of the main reasons it's called the Holy City.
So that's just a little insight on Charles.
Very good.
You mind walking with me real quick?
I'm just going to walk down here.
Maybe we can walk and talk a little bit.
Right.
So, you know, I just got in the city a couple of hours ago.
Welcome.
Oh, thank you, sir.
And I'm looking at all the people.
You know, I see the memorial down here.
It's beautiful.
From what you see, you know, what's the general temperament of the people?
Of course, you know, they're upset.
But, you know, do you find more people who are angry, more people who are looking for healing?
Like, what's your view?
The people are angry.
Just sad and mourning and don't know what to do.
But you have a very serious group of people here now with the energy that's going that's very upset.
They're broken.
And we're used to this.
We've seen this for a long time.
We understand why it happened, when it happened on the 193rd anniversary of Denmark VZ. And just a little further down across the street is John C. Calhoun, the tallest statue in the city.
And John C. Calhoun was the master breaker.
He was the slave master who controls the energy of what happened here at this church.
And that's what this is all about.
So, the temperament of the people, what you see here in the front, you see people singing and praying.
But that is not at all what's really going on.
So, I mean, most of what's happening is behind all of this.
But to answer the question, very, very, very upset.
