Making Sense of a Senseless Shooting – WHY the Shooter Pulled the Trigger - The Charlie Kirk Killing - You’ve GOT to Read This!!!!!!!

Posted Sept 12, 2025 |End Times Watch | River Wilde

The facts have been revealed in regards to the shooter of Charlie Kirk. He is a 22-year-old white, straight, male, a member of a family which seems to be wholesome, religious, and with good values. He was a 4.0 student, gifted in intelligence.

All of these factors as viewed from the outside, seem to just increase the complexity as to how this awful outcome could even be possible. WHY?? I see many people contributing their own interpretations of why this happened. We are all searching for a reason to make sense of the madness.

The answer that we seek is not as elusive as we might think. And, it is something that I would Like to share with you today. The answer will not be given to you just to satisfy your curiosity, but rather should be something that you desire to implement into your very own lives.

I do not know him or the family at all. I have no reason to claim that I know why this happened other than to tell you that we are all living in the same moment of time on earth. Being here at THIS time, and understanding the battle that we are all in currently in, is why I am able to make such a claim as to why I KNOW why this happened.

For those of you still left out of the loop, we are right in the middle of a WAR here on the earth. It is not specific to political divide, country, gender, or any other category that the media is trying to always spin it into. We are in a battle between Good and EVIL: God vs satan!

With only a few years to go, until this earth life comes to an end, EVIL is mounting its final campaign in trying to influence the souls on earth into joining their team. May I be so bold as to state that Satan is after you’re very SOUL?!?

This battle I speak of, has been written about for thousands of years, as detailed in the bible. Let me briefly show you what I am referring to. Here are the writings of the King James Version describing how Satan works to steal, kill, and destroy souls:

Hatred leads to murder

• 1 John 3:15 — “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.”

➝ Hate unchecked in the heart grows into the same spirit as murder. And, as we see in this case, it actually grew into a physical event of taking someone’s life. Here we are warned that HATE can be “Nurtured” by satan into murder.

Hatred stirs up strife

• Proverbs 10:12 — “Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.”

➝ Hatred creates conflict, division, and evil works.

Hatred is tied to darkness

• 1 John 2:11 — “But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.”

➝ Hate leads into spiritual blindness and separation from God. SEPARATION FROM GOD! Being removed, if you will, from being a member of God’s team.

Cain as the example of hate turned to evil

• 1 John 3:12 — “Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”

➝ Jealousy and hatred in Cain’s heart grew into murder — Satan’s plan in action. This same strategy from satan’s team has been used from the beginning of time. Cain, one of the first people on earth was “Groomed” with the emotion of hate to kill his brother.

Bitterness and wrath turn to evil actions

• Ephesians 4:31 — “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.”

➝ The progression: bitterness → anger → malice (evil intent).

Can you see things clearly now? This fits into the “Motive” of the shooter! It is the exact thing that team satan has done for all of the time that people have existed upon the earth.

So, Let’s explore this rationalization even further and see how satan uses this to get people to follow him, and do his acts, eventually obtaining power over a person’s soul.

From what we have just learned from the KJV: hatred doesn’t stay still — it grows, blinds, divides, and eventually brings forth violence and evil. You can conclusively say that the emotion of hate can be the MO, or the reason that someone would have, growing or progressing to the point of taking someone’s life.

For a moment, I would like for you to think of your own experience with hate. I, and perhaps you as well have had many experiences when I have been wronged by others. Treated UNFAITLY. Additionally, I have had people in my life that I have disagreed with. The initial emotion from all of these situations was minimal dislike or disagreement. But as I let that feeling grow in my own mind, it became something far greater than what it started out to be. I have felt rage. I have felt vengeance. Have you? This in NO WAY means that we are killers, and this is not the point that I wish to make here.

This GROWTH, and PROGRESSION of the emotion is what I am talking about today. Why did it grow? Who is responsible for promoting the growth? How did it go from a simple emotion of dislike, a normal reaction, to the level of consuming my thoughts, and causing me to think about an action that would truly not represent who I was as a person? This is the importance of this writing.

Understanding the progression of this emotion, and WHO is behind it is the ultimate conclusion of answering WHY the shooting happened. This is satan’s strategy of influencing people to join his team. As I allow him into my mind by thinking these thoughts, he continues to influence the depth of my emotions. He uses other outside resources to fuel this anger. Video games, music, social media groups, HATE Rederick. Each of these not individually responsible for murder, but play a part in nurturing this emotion of hatred. Satan makes these feelings begin to explode within ourselves.

They grow little by little into the point where we actually become a servant to him, and his cause by acting out with evil. THIS is how he works. This is what has played out before our very eyes. This is what the family would tell you, because I’m certain that they were given small glimpses of the progression, but perhaps not to the point that they would even think this outcome was possible.

Can you relate, in just a small way to what I’m saying? Can you relate 5to acknowledging that this same satan has tried to nature evil emotions into growing into something far greater than what it started out to be? I CAN!!! To be boldly honest, this is why the world is so full of hate right now. Can you at least see this? The WORLD’s HATE has progressed, right? And the results??? People have become so evil! They have been captured as new members of satan’s team…CAN’T YOU SEE THIS??? The answer again is so clear when you see what is happening through spiritually.

Thankfully, in most of our situations, we have the ability to shut down satans work within us, and allow the light to overcome these feelings. As we let them go, we are once again back to our own self, and never let satan get that tight of grip on us. Yet, as you are seeing, many, many, many people do not allow the light in. They harbor and grow these evil emotions. Then, as satan whispers to them, they commit evil acts. They no longer are on God’s team, as satan has won them through their darkness and now belong to him.

We do not need crime specialists to examine the shooter to reach a conclusion as to why he did what he did. This same strategy from the adversary is being applied to everyone who is currently living today. You…Me…Everyone. Can you feel it work inside of you? Being honest with yourself here is important. If you do not see what is truly happening inside of us, you are less likely to shut it down.

I see the same strategy used by satan in the arena of pornography. It starts out with the simple viewing of nudity. For many people, it is not enough. The images need to be more evil, more intense to satisfy the viewer. Who is creating that need for this increase? Who is saying that this is not enough, you need to take things further? The answer – It is the same person… The devil himself. He is in the minds of these people coaching them along little by little, until they reach the point of ADDICTION- being bound by the chains of the adversary, prompted to advance and commit acts that are illegal. Then, as I’m certain even the shooter is feeling right now. The thought of “How did I get to where I am right now. How did I do, what I just did?”

So, what is our take away of learning why this young man did what he did? This discovery really has more to do with us than it has to do with him.

For you see, we are right in the middle of a spiritual war. If you don’t feel that way, I pray that you will come to realize the significance of our time. Satan has everyone of us in his sights. He is using many different strategies to get us onto his team, and they share one thing in common… You and him together in your own mind. If you allow him to stay there, by continuing to think about Hate, Violent Sex, and every other evil thought, he will soon own you as well.

Once he is inside of your mind, he dominates your thoughts. He is your new teacher. These are not your thoughts, I PROMISE, they are his. They are enticing. They create a desire for you to push deeper with the false promise of pleasure as you seek evil as a solution. He pushes you to advance this new journey. Dislike becomes hate; hate becomes rage; rage becomes violent actions. And the entire time of his progressive influence, you are receiving satisfaction in thinking of your new plan to right a wrong. Vengeance! It is a powerful emotion, created by the master deceiver.

Coached to suggest that the way to satisfy such an emotion would be to take someone’s life. THIS IS WHAT IS DESERVED! THIS IS HOW I CAN FIX IT! And now, even as he sits in a jail cell, I can tell you that he is thinking that this promise from satan was indeed a deception. He is not satisfied by what he has done. He certainly must be devastated to realize what he has done to his family, and Charlies family as well.

I must say this as a father. PLEASE, PLEASE do not hateful feelings towards the family of this young man. The action of their son has nothing to do with them, of it was evil that was his teacher… Let us place the responsibility of why this happened where it should really lie…With the adversary, for evil was his teacher, not the family. I personally want them to know that I am praying for them, for this must be an impossible thing for them to process. I send my love to them, as well as encouragement to continue in their connection that they have with God. They will find peace there. They will find comfort there, just as you and I will. Let’s all go there today, shall we? We must let go of all of the hate that we feel from this event.

When you are ready, we must also let go of the HATE that we might feel towards this shooter. Yes, he took something away that meant a great deal to all of us. We have a reason to feel this way. But we also know that if we let this same emotion grow within US, and let satan grow this passion in our minds, we too have fallen for his tactic of destroying us. Continued hate NEVER produces the results that would make us happy.

For those of you who feel the emotion of hate to the point of vengeance, please consider this: I have found a very effective tool to shut down this evil feeling. This tool has allowed me to remain on God’s team.

I know that God, in His wisdom, knew that we as mortals would have emotions like this, so He has given us our own arrow that we can keep in our quiver. He tells us this:

Romans 12:19

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord”.

This passage encourages believers not to seek personal revenge but to trust that God will judge and repay wrongdoers. I LOVE that the word Vengeance is used, because that is an emotion that many of us can relate to. By giving this situation over to God, the emotion doesn’t change. It simply goes from my vengeance to vengeance that God will have in resolving with my situation. I lose nothing in what I hoped would happen to that person, for I know that God has the same feeling in resolving this for me.

When I give the situation over to God, I immediately am comforted. I feel a sense of peace, and even joy. I am no longer carrying around this heavy burden with me that has consumed my thoughts. I also literally kick satan out of my mind as a result of giving it to God. I know that God will resolve this matter in a fair but JUST way. I trust Him in doing this for me. Can there be a more perfect plan in managing our emotions?

Whose team are you on? Seriously??? Have you even thought this way? Have you picked a team? Do you see that picking a team right now is important? If not, may I remind you that the default setting here is to be on Team Satan? For the mortal man is an enemy of God. Weather you know it or not, if you DO NOT DO SOMETHING to get and remain on God’s team, you will find yourself on the losing team for certain.

Take some time to consider this writing today. Recognize that we have just been taught about the battle that is happening with all of us right now upon the earth.

We have just learned team satan’s strategy to go after YOU… and Me. He wants to be with us alone in our minds. Behind closed doors, just the two of us. He then is using his other tools to promote those evil feelings. Things like perhaps video games, music, images, and social media rhetoric to enhance the feelings that he is creating in your mind. This is how he intends to take you down, and get you to be a servant of him.

You might notice that each of these things are not enough in themselves to cause a person to commit such a heinous act. They are only factors in increasing, and growing the emotion. Don’t believe this, watch a mosh pit video and watch what the music does to those participating…violence…even if it’s just for that moment. Can you see how it grows the emotion?

So, what can we do about this? If you are finally realizing that you are involved in this spiritual battle, what is your “Battle Plan?” What are the orders from our Commander in Chief, (GOD)? I am happy to tell you that He has indeed created a battle plan for you already. Does this give you comfort?

First and foremost, you have already obtained one of the very most important parts of this plan. You have come to realize that the adversary is coming for your soul. You are aware that we are living in the “End Times” when this battle is happening as prophesied thousands of years ago, as written in the Bible. This is step ONE. If you are not here yet, continue your research in proving this to yourself. Take God along with you in your research. Pray often about what you are learning, for He is the one that will confirm the truth to you.

Step Two is to learn what to do as a member of God’s team in this battle. Understanding who God is and the Powers that He has is paramount in your research and study. Knowing your Commanders Power will give you a further desire to be on His team. Let me give you a spoiler right here…We KNOW through the scriptures and prophecy that GOD and His team WIN THIS BATTLE!! And the PRIZE? The prize is to live in Heaven with Him and all of the other “GOOD” people who are on this earth.

Third – You will come to realize that our contribution to this war is not physical. We are not being called to kill the enemy on the battle field. Let me explain. A War, or Battle consists of two sides fighting each other. Those individual efforts of each participant determine the outcome of the war. This battle is different. GOD has all of the power and resources to defeat the enemy on His very own. You or me will not be a factor in contributing to God’s victory in the battle. He will win regardless of if you are on His team or not.

God, does not want you to fight with Him. He wants you to join His team, and help others to join His team so that He can save all of us. That is the prize to God… “Saving His Children” from satan. Can you see this? Can you see that it might not be important for you to stock up on guns and ammo? God has His successful plan in taking out ALL of evil during the Battle of Armageddon that will happen at the very end of the earth. He does not need you to kill anyone.

This also answers the question of what then does He need from us?

Your orders… Learn, Understand, and Believe in Jesus Christ…and become a member of His team! This is what God wants from you.

Now for those of you screaming, “THIS makes no Sense!!!” Let’s continue learning…

Again, what is the purpose of the battle? It is over you and me. The battle is over us, and each party want to get us on their side. That is the entire battle! That’s it!!! Satan want you to be his servant for eternity, bound in chains following his orders. God want’s His children back to be with Him. He want’s us to come home and be with Him… Forever. Not as servants, but as His children. Just like DAD’s would want.

Since the outcome of the war has been determined, God is not asking us to fight for Him, He’s asking us to do all that we can so that we will not be taken by the enemy. His orders are to fight the battle within our own selves, so that we do not end up captured.

I must introduce a concept to many of you who might not have be taught about this before. Stay with me, for it is important that you understand what I am about to tell you in defeating the enemy.

Let me show you what this life is all about from a spiritual sense.

All of us are God’s children. He sent us down to earth, knowing full well that satan would be here on earth and influence us to do bad things and sin. He knew this. Your Father… GOD, also wanted to show you that He had a plan for WHEN we do mess up.

He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. He was here… on our earth. He came to fulfill a mission YOU and ME. Jesus would allow a way for us to be forgiven of ANY sin that we might have done. He would be the SACRIFICE needed, giving His own life, and taking all of our sins upon Himself, so that we could become pure enough to live with God when we die. This is called the Atonement. Sound to good to be true? It’s NOT!!

This atonement was given to all of Gods children, but there is something very important that EACH one of us need to do to make it effective in our lives. God has always given us free agency. We can choose the things that we desire. The same applies to the atonement. YOU MUST ACCEPT IT for it to become effective for you.

We all sin, and part of the atonement on our part is to kneel before God in prayer and repent, which is recognizing that we have sinned and ask for His forgiveness. Then, try to do better.

Accepting this atonement means that we acknowledge that we are on God’s team. We want to do the things that He wants us to do. Be loving, kind, and live a life inside of the light, rather than under satan’s plan which is for us to sin and live in the darkness.

You will find, as I have in my own life, that your desire to sin will decrease. I want to live in the light for that is where I’m finding peace right now. I strive to live my best life as a human being. My focus is on doing things that give me fulfillment… Loving others and being kind to them. Helping others who are struggling. Comforting those who have trials, etc.

This is how we stay on God’s team, and if you are on His team, there is no uncertainty…When this battle is over, you will live with Him in an awesome place.. Heaven. He has no plans on judging you for your sins. Why would He? When you repent of your sins, they are gone…there is nothing to judge you on. The judgment is quite simple… Have you accepted His atonement and tried to live as best you could (not perfect), or are you on satan’s team…someone who has not accepted the atonement an is responsible for all of their sins. This is the judgment. Now you know how to prepare. Get on His team.

So back to the fight. You will come to learn that God has given ARMOR to all those who are on His team. He knows the power that satan has, and He is preparing, and helping us prepare for battle. He does not want us to be deceived by satan. Here is this armor that He gives us.

Prayer unites us with God. It invites Him into our life, our day, and our mind. We can seek His council and guidance if we will just go to Him in prayer, and listen for His answers.

The Holy Spirit – As you have given your life to Jesus Christ, you will experience what He has called a feeling of being “Born Again.” You will be able to physically see a change in your life. It’s as if you have become a new person. Your actions change. You find yourself forgiving someone who just cut you off on the freeway, and much more. You become a better Father, Mother, Friend, Companion.

With this comes a gift that God will give to you, called the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit. This is a communicator, and comforter. When you pray to God, it is through the Holy Ghost that God communicates with you. You will have thoughts in your mind that are placed there by the Holy Ghost. You will see Him as a teacher. Whild studying spiritual things, again, he will place thoughts into your mind to help you understand the meaning.

The Holy Ghost is also a comforter. When my son was killed, I was engulfed in this comforting feeling. I was in this state of comfort for quite some time as I began to process the grieving process. You can ask God to send you this comfort when you are in despair, and if you are on His team, He will send you this blessing.

In living our best life, God will give us what He calls a Breastplate for us to put on in battle. It is intended to protect us against the attack of Satan and his angles. Yes, satan has his angeles as well. We put this on by trying to live righteously…not PERFECT, but trying to live our best lives. Living this way gives us His protection.

Think of this concept in this way… When we don’t live righteously, and participate in “SiN.” Each time we sin, we let satan into our minds to begin his destruction. Not sinning prevents him from being able to enter our battlefield. Can you see the power here?

A Battle tool that He has also given us is FAITH. How can faith be a battle tool. Faith in God deflects the fiery darts of the wicked—temptations, doubts, lies, and attacks from satan. Faith is a trust that God is on your side and will help you in this fight. As your faith grows in God, you will come to find that faith is actually more powerful than even an eye witness of things. Would you like an example?

Do you recall the story in the bible where moses parted the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to escape the armies that were hunting them down to kill them? Let’s read this:

Hebrews 11:29 (KJV) – “By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.”

This shows it was faith that allowed Israel to walk through, while the Egyptians, lacking faith, were destroyed.

Let us bring this concept into our own lives. If we have this same amount of Faith in God, do you realize that He can do a miracle in your life in protecting you from “Evil” or destruction? Faith is a powerful tool because it allows us to access God’s Power. Right now, realize and have the faith that God will see you through to the very end…FOR I PROMISE YOU THAT HE WILL.

There are many other GIFTS that God gives to his followers. I invite you to learn what those are for yourselves. Spend time studying His words as written in the New Testament. You will see all of His Battle Plan that He already has in Place.

Let us all take the events of today and realize the battle that we are involved in. Make a mindful choice today…right now… to choose the team that you will fight to be on. Spend time getting to know God if you are unfamiliar with Him. There is peace there. There is hope there…There is comfort in belonging on God’s team. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW.

Pray for guidance and strength. Pray for spiritual understanding and knowledge. These are easy first steps, because God’s team also has a “Teacher” the Holy Ghost, who will help you learn the things that you will need to know.

May God be with us. Please pray for Charlie’s family and friends, which includes you and me. Pray for the shooter’s family. And again, when you are ready, let us even pray for the shooter himself that he will once again return to living on God’s team. Pray that he can see beyond the enticing’s of satan that have consumed him, and that he will find his way back to God.

I can’t wait to meet you all in a FEW SHORT YEARS… Let’s get together in heaven and discuss our experiences on earth, and how we came to find God and become a member of His team. Prepare for battle my family. Do ALL that you can do to remain on Go’s team, knowing the deception that satan has planned for all of us.

Much love, River Wilde
