United States Becomes Leviathan

An Allegorical Story by Trey Knowles

In the restless sea of nations, where kingdoms rise like waves and fall like foam, there stood a mighty land called the United States. Born from rebellion and carved by the dream of liberty, it once sailed as a young vessel among the nations, proclaiming freedom and hope across the waters.

In its early days, the nation spoke boldly of justice and the rights of people. Its voice echoed across continents like a trumpet, and many looked to it as a light on the horizon.

But deep beneath the sea of nations, something ancient stirred.

The elders of old writings had spoken of it—a creature called Leviathan, a beast of immense power that ruled the waters with pride and authority. It was said that when a kingdom grew too mighty and forgot its purpose, the sea itself would shape it into something greater and more dangerous.

At first, the transformation was subtle.

The nation’s ships multiplied, stretching across every ocean. Its armies stood in distant lands, its banners waving in places far from its own shores. Its voice became louder in the councils of the world, and its shadow stretched across continents.

The nations whispered among themselves.

“Behold,” they said, “the rising power in the sea.”

Meanwhile, the people within the nation argued among themselves. Some believed their country was still the shining vessel it once was, guiding others through dark waters. Others feared it was becoming something else—something larger, heavier, and more difficult to control.

And slowly, the sea began to change the nation.

Its reach grew vast through trade, technology, and culture. Its music traveled across oceans, its films filled distant theaters, and its inventions reshaped how the world spoke and thought. The currents of the world economy began to move with its tides.

To some, this power seemed noble.

To others, it felt overwhelming.

From afar, smaller nations watched as the great power moved through the waters, stirring waves wherever it turned. Some followed in its wake, hoping for protection or prosperity. Others feared being pulled beneath its currents.

One evening, as the sun dipped beneath the horizon of the sea of nations, an old watcher spoke:

“A nation that holds great power must choose what kind of creature it will become.”

For Leviathan was not merely a monster—it was a symbol of immense strength. And strength, the watcher said, could protect or dominate, guide or consume.

Within the heart of the nation, voices rose.

Some called for humility and wisdom, remembering the founding ideals of liberty and justice. Others demanded greater power, believing the world must bend to their will.

The sea listened.

And in the shifting waters of history, the nation stood at a crossroads—between the ship it once was and the Leviathan it might become.

For every great power faces the same question:

Will it rule the sea with wisdom, or will it become the very beast the old stories warned about?

And so the waters of the world continued to churn, waiting to see what the great nation would become.

 Trey Knowles — “You Are Ignorant of God’s Righteousness”

Let the wicked remain in their wickedness, and let the righteous remain in their righteousness. O Lord, hear my complaint and look upon the earth. Bring down Your righteous judgment, O Lord.

For wickedness has spread throughout these nations. Homosexuality has gone rampant. It has entered the pulpits and the churches, and it is promoted across television and throughout the culture. Many churches have become robbers of the people, glorifying what is evil rather than standing for what is holy.

The people glorify money so greatly that they tolerate evil. Instead of resisting wickedness, they allow it to flourish. They are captivated by destruction, by weapons of violence, and by systems of unequal justice.

Therefore I cry again: let the wicked remain in their wickedness, and let the righteous remain in their righteousness. O Lord, bring down Your wrath. Hear this complaint and bring forth change upon the earth.

The United States, the worst of the worst—bring her down to her knees, O Lord, for she has shed blood in Your name. Her politicians and her commander-in-chief proclaim Your character falsely. They worship their own cruelty and the harm they do to the innocent. The power of war and weaponry is their pride, yet You, Almighty Lord, hate pride.

Hear, O Lord, how violently Pete Hegseth speaks. Only You know what lies within this man’s heart.

This is a public complaint, Lord, that the world may know that You are the Lord Almighty.

Trey Knowles’ “They Talk About the Rapture” is a short message addressing the mindset of people who expect to escape judgment through the Rapture. In this message, Trey Knowles points out the irony that many of those who talk most about being “raptured” are often the same people who persecute others and contribute to wrongdoing in the world.
