I predict this is the year that the dragon will be slain. On the Jewish Holiday of Yom Kippur - I fasted without drinking water or eating food for 24 hours. During that time, I was reading the Holy Scripture and this verse stood out. "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." (Exodus 14:14). In other words, trust in the Lord to win our victories for us.
Here's 2023 in review.
In my blog post predicting last year, I talked about achieving peace in my life. For the most part that was accomplished and enjoyed.
On the legal front, I was able to win a restraining order in an elder abuse case. In that case, the court found that a secret wife had abused her husband, stealing all his property, and abandoning him in a foreign country. When that didn't work, she failed to give him medical care, hoping he would die. I'll write more on this case later.
I also settled the case another elder abuse case.
Finally, I finally settled a case I was working on for over four years.
An incident happened to me in July that forecasts the battle with a dragon. In July, a mean and nasty woman from China, who was born and raised there, hit my car and thought she got away with it. Her name is Kathy Han. (I'll be more than happy to dedicate an article to her, to warn the world about her.) After she bumped into my car at the Bank of America parking lot, she sped off. I called the police to pull her over. She still refused but finally did so.
Then, she called the police and falsely accused me of punching her. I was in shock. She said that she didn't bump into my car. She said that she was a lawyer, and if I kept pursuing it, she was going to sue me.
Han grabbed my phone without my consent, while I was filming her. The police just asked us both to leave.
I was furious that someone would falsely accuse me in this way. I asked the California Highway Patrol Commissioner, Sean Duryee to reopen the case. To my surprise he did. The officers retrieved video footage at Bank of America of this woman bumping into my car. And that was it. She was liable.
The whole incident made me really disappointed in humanity and showed me how evil and wicked people could be. There seems to be a whole movement that wants to excuse human depravity because of nurture and not nature. I don't think so.
There are evil people out there; psychologists and the secular society calls them sociopaths, psychopaths, narcissists, and anti-socials Judeo-Christianity says that they're evil. There's people out there that get a high off of hurting others and getting away with it.

There's also been a restoration in relationships for me. In five days, I had three set of people, who were gone for years, come back in my life. That was amazing. You can't replace people. And it's like having a lot valuable returned to you.

For this year, dragons are an evil symbol in Judeo-Christianity. In the Jewish Scriptures, the dragon is represented both as a serpent and the Leviathan. In Christianity, the Dragon represents Satan.
Coincidentally, it seems to be global symbol. It seems like most cultures have depictions of dragons, from the Mayans to the Asians to the Europeans.
Going back to the verse that I mentioned above, we need to trust in the Lord for victory. It's a time to let go and not try to control everything. Our duty is only be faithful to the small and large things the Lord calls us to.
I end by stating that this will be the year that the black dragon falls and is slain. I predict that this is the year that Truth will prevail and expose the evils of the black dragon.
