I see it differently. I believe the symbols on that necklace carry spiritual and energetic ties, so I understand why they stood out to you. But the necklace you’re pointing to and the Messiah Complex tour go back to 2013. Russell was baptized in 2024, eleven years later. I believe that when we renounce those ties, proclaim our faith in the Most High, and are baptized in Yeshua’s name, we are made new. Only the Most High knows what Russell has renounced in his heart.
There was a time when I didn’t believe in Jesus at all. There are things I used to do that I would never do today. If you’d known me then, would you ever have imagined you’d hear me speaking about Yeshua the way I do now? That’s why I leave room for someone else’s life to change, too.
As for 33, the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry does confer a 33rd degree. Christians also traditionally associate 33 with Yeshua’s age at the crucifixion. Luke 3:23 says he was “about thirty years of age” when his ministry began, and John mentions three Passovers. His exact age at the crucifixion is an estimate. If you have the original clip of Russell talking about his life ending at 33, I’d listen to his words in context. The number alone can’t tell either of us what he meant.
As for the Thames, Russell said he chose the river because he lived beside it. Crowley’s own account of his baptism gives no location. Even if someone who practiced the occult had once been baptized in that same water, how would their beliefs establish what was in Russell’s heart when he entered it? Russell described his own baptism as an act of surrender to Christ.
I started paying closer attention to Russell when he spoke out about Hollywood. To me, he seemed like someone who had been searching for a long time. Hearing him openly proclaim Jesus to so many people meant something to me. Even his eyes look different to me when he talks about Yeshua. I know that’s a personal impression. I also take seriously the harm he was convicted of causing, and I pray for the women he harmed. I believe repentance includes taking responsibility for what we’ve done.
I believe forgiveness is open to everyone who turns to the Most High in sincere repentance.
