AD 732, Battle of Tours: Charles Martel the ‘Hammer’ Holds The Line Of Battle
The Franks and The Muslims under the Umayyad Caliphate would meet in northeastern France in October of 732. Charles Martel, commander of the Franks, who were largely infantry based, and likely equal in number to the Muslim army, would fight General Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, who commanded the Umayyad army that had a large amount of cavalry.
…
The Muslims had a tried and true method of wearing down the enemy with light cavalry peppering and repeated heavy cavalry charges. With no real reason to try something different, ‘Abd-al-Raḥmân’s cavalry crashed into the Frankish formations who stood firm like “A Bulwark of Ice” according to later Muslim accounts. Frankish troops withstood the attacks and lashed out hard whenever the experienced troops saw an opportunity.
Deep into the fighting (perhaps into a second day according to some sources) The cavalry broke into a Frankish formation and towards Charles. His guard, and perhaps Charles himself, entered the fray. Several Frankish scouts were sent at the same time to raid the enemy camp, causing havoc and freeing prisoners.
The Muslims feared for the safety of their booty, obtained during the campaign and many rushed back to the camp. This was seen as a full retreat by many other members of the Muslim army and an actual full retreat soon followed. ‘Abd-al-Raḥmân valiantly attempted to rally his troops but was killed in the fighting as the victorious Franks swarmed upon their retreating foes.
This awful year actually started in Oct 2019, with the release of the virus from Wuhan. Between 6 October and 11 October 2019, a novel coronavirus was released, accidentally or maliciously, from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. Between 7 October and 24 October 2019, there was no cellphone activity around the location of the Wuhan Institute of Virology and it is believed that a hazardous event occurred there.
During that same time period, beginning on 6 October 2019, a three week long meeting between the Catholic Vatican hierarchy and a delegation of Catholics from the Amazon began, that is referred to as the “Amazon Synod.” During the synod, a number of ceremonies and Masses were conducted and wooden idols from the Amazon were included. These idols depicted a nude, pregnant female Mother Earth deity called the “Pachamama”. The idols were bowed down to, were brought into sacred Catholic places, and were temporarily housed in a Catholic church during the three weeks of the synod.
In the early hours of the morning of 21 October 2019, a young, faithful Austrian Catholic, entered the church in which the Pachamama idols had been placed, carefully removed five of them, walked to the bridge over the Tiber, and flung them into the river.
Unfortunately, the idols were recovered and were present at the closing Mass of the Amazonian Synod on 27 October 2019, on the Feast of Christ the King. A Pachamama bowl was also placed on the altar in violation of liturgical norms.
But there, in the midst of Wuhan flu, Pachamama idols, and war against invisible enemy ideologies, in a little country surrounded by the sea, shined a light on 6 October 2019. That same day. It is no accident. Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa, who had previously experienced three Marian apparitions that took place in Akita, Japan between 6 July and 13 October 1973, received a message from The Blessed Virgin Mary for the first time since 1973. The message was, “Put on ashes and pray a repentant Rosary every day.”
I believe that at the end of October this awful year will come to an end.
