On the Third Day: Prophetic Discourse on Retail Redemption
written by a member of the WCB
Brothers and sisters, gather 'round. I’m here to tell you about a resurrection that’ll make Lazarus look like a warm-up act. We’re talking about American Apparel—a brand that’s been crucified by the retail world, only to rise again on the third day.
Crucifixion
Let’s be real. American Apparel wasn’t just a clothing brand—it was a cultural phenomenon that got nailed to the cross of corporate judgment. The company filed for bankruptcy, shuttling through legal proceedings, closing stores left and right. It looked like the final nail was being hammered in, just like our Lord was hammered to Calvary.
Wilderness Years
The retail apocalypse was brutal. Credit Suisse predicted 25% of U.S. malls would close by 2022. But here’s the miracle—American Apparel isn’t just surviving. It’s preparing for a comeback that’ll make the Second Coming look like a minor event.
Resurrection Strategy
Now, let me tell you about the rumored resurrection. Malls aren’t dead—they’re evolving. They’re becoming community hubs, mixed-use developments that blend retail, residential, and entertainment. And American Apparel? They’re positioning themselves right at the center of this resurrection.
Mall Leases: The Promised Land
Word on the street is they’re negotiating mall leases across America and beyond. It’s not just a comeback—it’s a strategic invasion. While other brands are running scared, American Apparel’s walking right back into the temples of retail, just like Christ walked out of that tomb.
Prophetic Vision
This isn’t just about clothing. This is about redemption. About proving that something truly great can’t be killed by a few setbacks. Just like our faith teaches us that death is not the end, American Apparel’s showing the retail world that bankruptcy isn’t a tombstone—it’s just a comma in their story.

The resurrection is coming. And it’s wearing American Apparel.
