The spirit of a martyr from the distant past wings down the centuries, decrying the condition of the family and values. Secular forces, with the mass indoctrination of children and adults in education and media devoid of Christ, have deprived Christians of their ability to affect society. There is no relief except in solitude. Secularism crowds consciousness. The unlikely visitor-called the eagle-assigns the author to receive poems as a spiritual diary of ongoing events. The diary reveals a nation blind to the loss of faith as the martyr spirit correctly predicts the coming war on Serbia, in which the USA and NATO wage attacks resembling the ancient desolating sacrilege described in Daniel 9:27. The attacks interrupt the observance of the Holy Days of the Christ and wreak desolation upon the sanctuaries and monasteries of peaceful Christians, who are a small percentage of Serbia’s population. The decline of Christian influence is noticed as most onlookers assume spectator status. Only the martyr is not fooled by the anti-Christ. (Revelation 20:4) The question is posed: is this era a “Setting Sun or Morning Star?” The individual believer travels through the trials of life alone. The public absorbs misinformation and assumes that war is a just solution. The family is relegated here and afar to refugee status. The poems suggest God is not blind but calls a nation from decline.
