JACK POSOBIEC: Put on the full armor of God and fight. Do it now. For Charlie.

A packed memorial service for Charlie Kirk at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, drew tens of thousands of supporters, friends, family, and political leaders to honor the 31-year-old conservative activist who was killed during an open debate event at Utah Valley University on September 10. Among the speakers was Human Events host Jack Posobiec, who gave a fiery speech that called on the crowd to fight back. “Charlie was my brother. And Charlie was my commanding officer. And we will never, ever let the left, the media, or the Democrats forget the name of Charlie Kirk,” he told the crowd.

Posobiec put Kirk’s death through a biblical lens, comparing it to Moses viewing the promised land as is told in Deuteronomy. “The Bible tells us that on his last day, Moses climbed to the top of the mountain, and he looked across the river Jordan, and he saw the promised land. He led the people there, but he did not cross himself, for he was taken, and he died on that mountain, and he was brought to God’s kingdom. On his last day, Charlie Kirk was on the top of a mountain, and Charlie Kirk led us there, and Charlie Kirk has brought us to the promised land."

“Charlie’s death was not just a murder. The true word for what Charlie did is sacrifice. You see the difference between murder and sacrifice is that sacrifice is a gift. Sacrifice is that last, full measure of devotion for God, for country, and for his people, and for his family. Charlie Kirk died for all of you, and Charlie Kirk’s gift of his sacrifice means that Charlie Kirk will live forever, not just for all of us, not just for his family, and Erica, and for his children, but for all future generations of Americans.”

Posobiec declared that Kirk’s legacy would shape the future of Western civilization itself. “And we will come to find, we will come to find that in the final moment, that Western civilization was saved through Charlie’s sacrifice in the only way possible. By returning the people to Almighty God. For greater love hath no man than this, than he who lay down his life for his friends," Posobiec said, a reference to the book of John.

He ended with a call to action that eludes to the book of Ephesians, written by the Apostle Paul, urging the audience to carry forward Kirk’s mission by putting on the armor of God. “Are you ready to continue the mission? Are you ready to fight back? And are you ready to put on the full armor of God and face the evil in high places and the spiritual warfare before us? Then put on the full armor of God, do it now, now is the time. This is the place, this is the turning point, for Charlie.”

The event drew major figures from politics and the Trump administration, including President Donald Trump, who had long described Kirk as a close friend.
