The Sound Older Than Empire: When Women Weep Like Walls Are Meant to Fall

There have been moments when vision overtook my senses without warning. Not dream, not memory—visitation.

In two separate moments, the same image rose: Women. Hundreds, maybe thousands. Ululating.

Africa. Palestine.

I did not hear language. I did not need to. Because the sound bypassed language and struck the spirit like thunder does bone.

They were not weeping in grief. They were wielding memory.

Their voices weren’t chaos. They were ancestral resonance—a sound older than empire.

This Sound Was Not a Protest. It Was a Summons.

What was witnessed was not merely cultural. It was spiritual warfare disguised as tradition.

This was not about volume. It was about alignment—with bloodline, with sorrow, with heaven’s justice.

These women did not hold swords. They held one another.

Their cries did not beg. They declared. They didn’t ask for mercy. They announced reckoning.

The Echo of Jericho

In the spirit, another memory rose: Jericho. The day walls fell—not to weapons, but to sound. To obedience. To unity. To something that looked foolish until it became history.

The ululation of these women was that kind of sound. Not crafted by strategy. Released by pain transfigured into authority.

“Shout! For the Lord has given you the city.” —Joshua 6:16

But in this case, the city wasn’t being taken. It was being freed.

The sound didn’t rise to destroy. It rose to deliver. To shake down the illusions of power that had colonized the soul.

Memory as Weapon

What they carried wasn’t nostalgia. It was testimony.

The kind passed through wombs and weeping. The kind that says:

We remember what they tried to erase. We survived what they refused to name. We are the daughters of every mother who refused to die silently.

In their sound was every baby taken, every land stolen, every tongue colonized, every prophecy silenced.

And still they stood. And still they sang.

The Sound Is Rising Again

This is not about ethnicity. It is about spiritual lineage.

Wherever empire has stood—on stolen ground, on silenced mouths, on sacred names renamed— this sound is rising again.

It is coming through women who:

Have wept until their tears dried into intercession Have held families, churches, and nations on their backs Are just now remembering that their voice is a weapon, not a wound

And when this sound rises, walls will fall again.

Not all at once. Not for spectacle. But for deliverance.

To the Women Who Feel This Rising

You are not being dramatic. You are not too loud. You are not confused.

You are remembering something the Spirit planted in your bloodline long ago. You are hearing the summons of a sound older than empire.

You don’t need to explain it. You need to release it.

If you cry, let it shake the ground. If you weep, let it be in rhythm with the sky. If you sing, let it be as one who knows walls weren’t made to last.

This is not performance. It’s prophecy.

And we are listening.
