I felt lead to open a Webster’s Dictionary, to see what word I was being lead to. The picture above is what I saw.

  • The first word I’ve never heard before.

katz·en·jam·mer
ˈkatsənˌjamər/

noun
USinformaldated
noun: katzenjammer

confusion; uproar.

Katzenjammer German pronunciation: [ˈkaʦənˌjamɐ] is a German word literally meaning “cat’s wail” (caterwaul) and hence “discordant sound”, sometimes used to indicate a general state of depression or bewilderment.

  • Second word I’ve seen before but not part of regular vocabulary.

synonyms:weed out, destroy, eradicate, stamp out, root out, wipe out, eliminate, suppress, crush, put down, put an end to, get rid of

  • Third word was:

ob·lit·er·ate
əˈblidəˌrāt/

verb

verb: obliterate; 3rd person present: obliterates; past tense: obliterated; past participle: obliterated; gerund or present participle: obliterating

I am confident that these words was not given by chance. A message if you will for the Nation of the United States.

As always, take this message to our Lord in prayer, asking Him to make it personal for you.
