The mantle has been passed to Holness

Dear Editor,

It is God who sets up kings and takes them down. I have been praying for my country and that God’s will be done as to who should be leader.

In the past I have voted for both major parties.

Two weeks ago, while praying I heard the word “mantle” as it relates to Mr Holness. I looked at the account in 1 Kings 19:19 and this is what I believe God is saying at this time: The mantle has been passed on to Mr Holness by Mr Golding. He will do well if he humbles himself and allows God to direct him. He should also not allow anyone to despise his youth.
