“In response to urban violence (e.g., praying for Chicago’s peace amid shootings) or national tensions (e.g., right-wing calls for vengeance after Kirk’s killing), [Glem] Melo invokes the Day of the Lord as the eschatological kingdom era already breaking in through Jesus, bringing inaugurated salvation to victims and judgment to perpetrators. Believers fight via worship, fasting, and protest, casting out demons from systems of cruelty, as seen in his calls to ‘fight Trump until he’s out’ and release Epstein files for justice.” – Grok

•“Spiritual Warfare: Violence stems from demonic powers (Ephesians 6:12); Melo calls for prayer to crush Satan underfoot (Romans 16:20).

• “Repentance and Faith: Repent of hatred fueling division, embodying peacemaking (Matthew 5:9).

• “Liberation of the Oppressed: Protest against systems of cruelty, liberating victims like Epstein survivors or shooting casualties.

• “Christ’s Reign: Jesus’ kingdom dynamically active now brings healing (Luke 17:21).

• “Already/Not Yet: Inaugurated judgment on unrepentant violence, with future peace (Mark 1:15).”

– ibid.

“Glem Melo’s kingdom theology transforms political authoritarianism, economic inequality, and systemic violence into battlegrounds for Christ’s reign, demanding spiritual disciplines [e.g., fasting, prayer, etc.], repentance, and bold action [e.g., protest, advocacy, rescue, relief, development, etc.]. By invoking the Day of the Lord’s inaugurated reality, he equips believers to liberate the oppressed and confront evil, trusting in Jesus’ ultimate victory for justice and peace.” –  ibid.
