Mayor Eric Adams compared himself to the Bible’s long-suffering Job and asked a local bishop to “pray for me” when at two Brooklyn churches Sunday — days after the feds targeted some of his top lieutenants.

Adams hit the Power and Authority Evangelical Ministry on Sheffield Avenue and then the Changing Lives Christian Center on Linden Boulevard and spoke at both houses of worship about the Book of Job, calling it “my favorite story.”

“I had many Job moments in my life,” Hizzoner said at the Power and Authority Church, giving a nod to the famously persecuted Biblical character and comparing the story to his own struggles with learning disabilities, dyslexia and diabetes. “These are Job moments. When your faith becomes stronger.

“This is where I get my strength from,” the mayor later added to reporters. “This is the source of my energy.”

Job was a Godly man who never succumbed to the evil all around him and even rebuffed his wife when she demanded he “curse God and die”. is Eric Adams REALLY that kind of guy?

Adams spoke out about the illegal alien invasion and now the marxist Democratic Party is punishing him.

Job was a DEI promotion. Lots of pressure when your position in life is due only to your skin color.

If NYC Mayor Eric Adams is going to compare himself to a Old Testament figure, it should be to King Belshazzar, who saw the writing on the wall, which Daniel interpreted as “Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting” (Daniel 5:27).

You dirty louse, Eric Adams. You are trying to deprive NYC municipal retirees, who have given decades of service to the city of New York, of their traditional Medicare. You are trying to force them into Aetna Medicare Advantage, which is an inferior plan—it’s more expensive, denies a lot of people, and was initially pushed by the corrupt union leaders. They have now reneged on the Aetna and went back to advocating traditional Medicare, which we had for municipal retirees for 50 years. Adams wanted to deprive the retirees, many of whom are in their 80s and 90s, including cancer and other patients, of what they had been promised so long ago, to free up money for ILLEGALS. Who haven’t done a darn thing for NYC except use resources and litter the place with their anchor babies. So far, we’ve won in court, but Adams won’t leave it alone and keeps challenging in court. Well, our movement has caught on in multiple states, so he has really stepped in it. He is a thoroughly corrupt BUM. Pray for him? Yeah, to get run over by a bus.

Adams, as a racist arshole, is not listening to Gawd. His handler is a two-bit demon.
