IN VICTORIA IDENTITY MARCHES ARE SACRED AND THE NATION IS OPTIONAL

Posted on by

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan’s Pride March appearance sparks debate over political priorities, as critics contrast enthusiastic support for LGBTQ events with the quiet disappearance of Melbourne’s Australia Day parade. Jacinta Allan marched through the streets of Melbourne on Sunday, waving a rainbow flag and calling out “Happy Pride” to anyone who would listen.

While the Premier happily marched with a gay flag on Sunday, there was no State-supported street parade with Australian flags Monday a week ago.

Transgender Victoria

In Victoria, you see, a gay street march is not merely permitted, it’s celebrated. It’s elevated. It is described, without irony, as representing the very best of the state. Speaking as she paraded with a rainbow flag, she said: “Today is amazing. And let’s remember, this is what Victoria is. This is what represents the best of this amazing state. Happy pride.“

THIS is what Victoria is? Victoria isn’t its history. Or its democratic institutions. Victoria isn’t its civic inheritance passed down by people who built things, defended things, and believed that nations were worth sustaining. Nope. Victoria, apparently, is a march. A worldview. A set of approved flags. A moral orthodoxy enforced by applause and enforced silence. Meanwhile… … Melbourne’s annual Australia Day street parade — the one involving the national flag, the national story, and the national holiday — was cancelled during Covid and never reinstated. Why? Well, as a spokesman for the Premier explained at the time: “We recognise that January 26 means different things to different people.”

Victoria has cast God out of its life and it has no understanding that God exists and that history shows that He judges nations. One only has to look at how God has judged the nation He set up for His purposes, Israel. Biblical prophecy shows us that even before Joshua led the nation of Israel into the land that God had given them, Moses told them their entire history. If they obeyed God’s commandments they would have abundant blessing:

“And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
“The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. The Lord will command the blessing on you in your barns and in all that you undertake. And he will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. The Lord will establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways. And all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.”

If they did not obey God then God would judge them harshly:

“But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you… The Lord will send on you curses, confusion, and frustration in all that you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and perish quickly on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken me. The Lord will make the pestilence stick to you until he has consumed you off the land that you are entering to take possession of it… The Lord will bring you and your king whom you set over you to a nation that neither you nor your fathers have known. And there you shall serve other gods of wood and stone. And you shall become a horror, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where the Lord will lead you away. Whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, you shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God. And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the Lord will take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it. And the Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other,

Thank goodness Moses also told them the end of the story:

“And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, and return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and He will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.” Deuteronomy 30:1-3

And the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. And the Lord your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you. And you shall again obey the voice of the Lord and keep all his commandments that I command you today. The Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground. For the Lord will again take delight in prospering you, as he took delight in your fathers, when you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” Deuteronomy 30:6-10

Jacinta Allan should read the Bible. perhaps then she would repent of turning away from God and His commandments and lift God’s judgement off Victoria. There are many Biblical prophecies of Jesus second coming and many of them are playing out in our day.

AMAZING END TIMES PROPHECY IN EZEKIEL 38 & 39

Posted on by

Jonathan Cahn shares the conclusion of the amazing prophecy in Ezekiel 38 & 39, that may foretell the next colossal event and the big question – where is America in it? What is America’s role in end time prophecy, and the end times? Is it there or not?

These two verses from Ezekiel indicate God brings Muslim nations surrounding Israel against it in the latter days when Israel has been re-established as a nation and the Jews have been gathered for all the nations where they were scattered. Look at Scripture describes how God brings them against Israel and how God deals with them.

“You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.” Ezekiel 38:16

“With pestilence and bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him, and I will rain upon him and his hordes and the many peoples who are with him torrential rains and hailstones, fire and sulfur. So I will show my greatness and my holiness and make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 28:22-23

GOSPEL TAKES CENTRE STAGE AT THE GRAMMY’S

Posted on by

Many artists used their moment on stage at the GRAMMY Awards on Sunday night to give glory to God, turning acceptance speeches into declarations of faith and hope.

U.S. rapper and singer Jelly Roll, who won Best Contemporary Country Album for ‘Beautifully Broken’, delivered one of the night’s most striking moments. Jelly Roll transformed from a troubled past of drugs and jail to a life of faith, music, and public praise for Jesus Christ.

“I believe that music had the power to change my life, and God had the power to change my life,” he said. “And I want to tell y’all right now, Jesus is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by any music label. Jesus is Jesus, and anybody can have a relationship with him. I love you, Lord.”

Meanwhile, SZA offered words of encouragement amid global uncertainty after joining Kendrick Lamar on stage to accept Record of the Year for ‘Luther’.

“Please don’t fall into despair,” she said. “I know that right now is a scary time. I know the algorithms tell us that it’s so scary and all is lost. There’s been world wars, there’s been plagues, and we have gone on.

“We can go on. We need each other. We need to trust each other and trust ourselves, trust your heart. We’re not governed by the government. We’re governed by God.”

Christian singer-songwriter Israel Houghton also took home an award, winning Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for ‘Coritos vol. 1’ with Israel & New Breed. After thanking God and honouring his wife, Houghton addressed those living in fear in the United States, alluding to recent ICE raids and killings.

“To those who are hiding in the shadows in America, those who are scared, let this music, let the hope that we are a part of a kingdom that cannot be shaken,” he said. “We are citizens of a kingdom that cannot be shaken and that will not end. I encourage you tonight, listen, be nice to the people in your community. Amen.”

BIBLICAL END TIMES SIGNS: EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS PLACES

A dramatic geological development is unfolding in southern Italy as reports suggest an 8-kilometer fracture opening beneath Pozzuoli, raising fears that Campi Flegrei may be physically linking with Mount Vesuvius. Scientists are closely monitoring seismic activity, ground deformation, and volcanic unrest in a region home to more than 3.5 million people. If confirmed, this evolving pathway could signal heightened volcanic risk, reshaping how experts understand interconnected magma systems and the potential for large-scale eruptions near one of Europe’s most densely populated volcanic zones.

BIBLICAL END TIMES LAWLESSNESS

Posted on by

Minnesota: many Americans, understandably shocked, look at the protests, the violence, and the loss of life and point to immediate causes. Some cite fraud and corruption in federally funded social programs, apparently tolerated by state officials. Others point to aggressive enforcement of immigration law that sparked deadly confrontations.

Minnesota is not an outlier; it is a case study of what happens when institutions that once fostered moral restraint abandon that role. The real cause is less obvious because it is far removed from the tragic events we see today in the headlines.

It can be traced back decades to what was called the long march through the institutions — a phrase coined in the late 1960s by Marxist student leader Rudi Dutschke. The phrase deliberately echoed Mao Zedong’s Long March, but Dutschke’s was not a military campaign. It was a cultural and ideological one, measured in decades rather than battles.

The strategy was to transform society not by overthrowing government outright, but by infiltrating its core institutions: universities, primary and secondary education, the media, the courts, and even churches. The objective was to shape what people were taught — what would be considered normal, respectable, and acceptable — so that political outcomes would eventually become inevitable.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) alluded to this reality recently before the British Parliament when he referenced a quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln:

“The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”

That insight helps explain why the classroom has been central to this long march. Obstacles to Marxist ideology had to be removed or marginalized. It was no accident that prayer and Bible reading were removed from public schools in 1962 and 1963. When God and His word are removed as moral restraints, lawlessness fills the vacuum — and that is the fertile ground in which Marxism takes root and gains power.

Over time, that march has moved beyond institutions and inevitably spilled into the streets. Confrontations like those we’ve seen in Minneapolis — whether involving George Floyd or Alex Pretti — are becoming routine. The rule of law depends on shared moral limits; when those limits erode, force alone cannot restore order.

In the last days, before Jesus returns to restore righteousness, he said that “lawlessness will be increased“

“And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet… and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:7-12

WARS & RUMOURS OF WAR: THE AGE OF DRONE WARFARE

Posted on by

How Ukraine is winning against Russia. Palantir has been working with Ukraine’s engineers since 2022 helping them to use AI on the battlefield particularly with drones. Warfare has changed forever and drones are now the front line of defence for Ukraine. Troops are at least 3 km back from the front line. Russia has not learnt the same lesson and are now loosing up to 35,000 soldiers a month, 80% killed by drones.

Russia is using more expensive drones to attack Ukraine Power plants, infrastructure and even hospitals and apartment buildings but no drones on the frontline like Ukraine. Frontline reporting describes a group of Russian soldiers surrendering in the Donbas sector amid claims of severe cold exposure, disrupted resupply, and weakened command-and-control. Accounts indicate multiple soldiers showed signs of frost injury and hypothermia risk, consistent with exposure in sub-zero temperatures without adequate winter equipment. The key driver cited is supply disruption—limited hot meals, ammunition shortages, and reduced evacuation capacity due to drone pressure on resupply routes.

One of Jesus end times signs prior to His return to restore righteousness is wars and rumours of wars. Whether it is Ukraine, Middle East (Iran), Taiwan, or Venezuela, across the world we have unrest, even within nations including the USA. The next prophesied war (Daniel 8:5-7) involves Turkey (Sunni) and Iran (Shia) as Turkey tries to re-establish its dominance of the Muslim world and its previous Ottoman Empire.

The Bible gives us many (almost 2,000) prophecies of Jesus second coming to earth so God wants us to be prepared particularly for the coming tribulation, even great tribulation for Christians.

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” — Matthew 24:21

PARALLEL BETWEEN GOD’S INTERVENTION AT BABEL AND JESUS CHRIST’S SECOND COMING

Posted on by

From humanity’s rebellion at Babel to the Redeemer’s return in glory, God is restoring His rightful Kingdom and dwelling place among mankind.

“The Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomever He will.” Daniel 4:17

1. The Tower of Babel: The Birth of Human Empire

Passage: Genesis 10–11

  • Babel (Babylon) was humanity’s first political‑religious unity against God’s authority.
  • Nimrod, a mighty hunter and founder of kingdoms (Gen. 10:8–10), embodied the spirit of human self‑rule.
  • Goal: “Let us build us a city and a tower… and let us make us a name” Gen. 11:4.

God’s Response

  • He confused their language, scattering them across the earth (Gen. 11:7–9).
  • The result: multiple nations, each separating from the one rebellious system.
  • Babel becomes the pattern for all anti‑God world empires.

“Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.” Revelation 17:5

2. The Call of Abraham: God’s Counter‑Kingdom

Passage: Genesis 12:1–3

Right after Babel’s scattering, God calls Abraham—His plan shifts from man’s rebellion to divine redemption.

  • A new nation by faith, not by pride.
  • Promise: “In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

This covenant is the seed of Messiah’s Kingdom, showing that God’s method of world blessing is through chosen covenant, not human federation.

3. Israel and the Theocratic Pattern

Passages: Exodus 19:5–6; Deuteronomy 7:6–9

At Sinai, God declares Israel “a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.”

  • Israel becomes a living contrast to Babel’s self‑rule — governed by revealed law, indwelt by God’s presence.
  • The Davidic Covenant later secures the promise of an eternal throne and King (2 Samuel 7:12–16).
  • Prophets foretell a coming descendant of David who will restore all nations under divine rule (Isaiah 9:6–7).

4. The Rise of the Gentile Empires: Echoes of Babel

Passage: Daniel 2; 7; 8

The image in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Daniel 2) and the beasts in Daniel 7 outline four successive world empires:

  1. Babylon — head of gold
  2. Medo‑Persia — chest of silver
  3. Greece — belly of bronze
  4. Rome — legs of iron

Each empire carries Babel’s DNA — attempting global unity without God.
The final phase (ten‑horned kingdom) becomes the revived form of Babylonian arrogance, preparing the stage for the Antichrist.

“Babylon is fallen, is fallen.” Revelation 14:8; 18:2

5. The First Coming of Christ: The True King Rejected

Passages: Luke 1:31–33; John 1:11

  • Jesus came announcing: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
  • He fulfilled the prophetic requirements of the Davidic King (Isaiah 9:6–7; Micah 5:2).
  • Yet the world — Jew and Gentile alike — rejected Him, choosing Caesar over Christ (John 19:15).

The world’s rejection of the King parallels Babel’s ancient defiance: man asserting his own authority over God’s.

6. The Church Age: The Kingdom Hidden, Not Absent

Passages: Matthew 13:24–33; Acts 2:1–47

  • The Gospel spreads to all tongues (a reversal of Babel’s confusion at Pentecost).
  • God calls out a people for His name while the nations continue their self‑made systems.
  • The spiritual kingdom operates in hearts, awaiting its physical manifestation when the King returns.

“The kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21

7. The End‑Time Babylon: Global Rebellion Reborn

Passages: Revelation 13; 17–18

  • A final Babylon rises—political, religious, and economic—uniting humanity in false worship under the Antichrist.
  • It mirrors Nimrod’s ancient project: one system, one speech, one power, without God.
  • The false prophet deceives the world, and all who refuse the mark are persecuted.

“All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him.” Revelation 13:8

God’s Judgment

  • Babylon’s fall is immediate and total (Rev. 18:8–10).
  • Heaven rejoices: “Alleluia! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” (Rev. 19:6).

8. The Return of Christ: God’s Final Overthrow of Babel

Passages: Revelation 19:11–21; Zechariah 14:3–9

  • Christ returns in glory at Armageddon, destroying the Antichrist and false prophet.
  • Human rebellion — begun at Babel — ends under His sword of truth.
  • Satan is bound a thousand years (Revelation 20:1–3).
  • The King of kings is enthroned in Jerusalem, ruling the nations with a rod of iron (Psalm 2:6–9; Revelation 19:15).

9. The Millennial Kingdom: Babel Reversed, Eden Restored

  • Language, nations, and worship unite under God, not against Him.
  • Jerusalem — once despised — becomes the capital of righteousness (Isaiah 2:2–4).
  • The curse on creation is subdued; the earth blooms again (Isaiah 35:1–6).
  • Every nation comes to worship the true King (Zechariah 14:16–19).

“The LORD will be king over all the earth.” Zechariah 14:9

10. The Eternal State: God’s Design Perfected

Passages: Revelation 21–22

When the thousand years conclude and final judgment falls,
God creates a new heaven and a new earth — the full realization of His kingdom purpose.
Humanity, forever free from sin, serves and reigns with Him eternally.

“His servants shall serve Him… and they shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 22:3–5

Summary Flow: From Babel to the Kingdom

THE RISE OF ANTISEMITISM IS JUST ANOTHER END TIMES SIGN

Posted on by

As we see antisemitism on the rise we need to be reminded that from 1941 to 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population. The murders were committed primarily through mass shootings across Eastern Europe and poison gas chambers in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno in occupied Poland. Think about it, using Hitler, Satan was able to takeover the entire nation of Germany and use it for his purposes. The rise of antisemitism is just another prophetic end times sign.

It is time to circulate this video widely as we approach the time of Jesus return. Get ready to rule and reign with Jesus in His Millennial Kingdom – http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

IN THE U.S. THE PROPAGANDA WAR IS REAL

Posted on by

As might have been predicted, the legacy media has, like clockwork, framed Alex Pretti’s death through an anti-Trump lens.

Instead of interrogating why Pretti put himself in harm’s way to impede federal officers and shield a criminal (more on all that in a moment), regime-aligned outlets have largely focussed on lionising Pretti, even framing him in martyr-like terms.

The taxpayer-funded ABC has led the charge on this front, having already published 21 reports (and counting) that depict Pretti as a kind-hearted ICU nurse who loved his dog and the outdoors, while dismissing official reports about his death from the Trump administration.

In the New York Times’ hagiography, Pretti was described as a “calm presence amid hospital chaos”, a mentor to colleagues, and deeply committed to his family and friends.

The BBC, meanwhile, can’t stop gushing about Pretti even as it continues to sweep aside the genocide of 35,000 Iranians.

One network was even caught using an AI-edited image of Pretti that made him look more attractive than the original

Whether you ask AP, CBS, NBC or PBS, you’ll learn that Pretti was a compassionate, community-oriented professional whose unjust death is, at best, the byproduct of a cold and callous Trump administration. Let’s name this for what it is: a deliberate propaganda war using selective reporting, emotional manipulation and rage-bait to further entrench Trump Derangement Syndrome in the public imagination.

Like Renee Good before him, Alex Pretti didn’t stumble onto the scene of his death by accident.

A media investigation found that Pretti was part of an anti‑ICE ‘rapid response’ network already active on site minutes before the shooting, using coordinated communication and tracking systems to locate, surround and disrupt federal agents during an arrest. Before and after Pretti’s death, the network used highly sophisticated tactics, the report says

There are also credible reports that this was not Alex Pretti’s first run-in with ICE. According to CNN, Pretti had a physical altercation with ICE in which he broke a rib just a week before his death.

The tragedy of Alex Pretti’s death was not just that he was engaged in an illegal operation, but he did so in defence of a violent criminal.

The arrest Pretti was on site to thwart was that of Jose Huerta-Chuma, an Ecuadorian national who was in the US illegally, and whose a criminal record includes violent domestic assault, intentional bodily harm and disorderly conduct. He was also driving without a valid licence at the time ICE was trying to take him into custody.

Moreover, not only was Pretti armed with a holstered semi-automatic handgun and two magazines of ammunition when he approached ICE agents, but he physically resisted when the officers tried to restrain him. Any reasonable member of the public would not have resisted such restraint from federal agents.

Again, Pretti’s death was a tragedy — but it was also, quite clearly, an avoidable one.

The following victims drew little online outrage or public protest compared with Pretti, yet they were also made in God’s image and were equally precious:

  • Laken Riley, 22, beaten to death while jogging on the University of Georgia campus by an illegal immigrant
  • Mollie Tibbetts, 20, stabbed to death in a cornfield in Brooklyn, Iowa by an illegal immigrant
  • Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, raped, strangled and left in a creek in Houston, Texas by two illegal immigrants
  • Kate Steinle, 32, shot in the back on a pier in San Francisco, California by an illegal immigrant
  • Rachel Morin, 37, raped and beaten to death while jogging in Bel Air, Maryland by an illegal immigrant
  • Lizbeth Medina, 16, stabbed to death in her Texas apartment bathroom by an illegal immigrant
  • Jamiel Shaw II, 17, shot execution-style on his way home from football practice in Los Angeles, California by an illegal immigrant
  • Aiden Clark, 11, killed when his school bus was hit by a drunk driver who was an illegal immigrant in Springfield, Ohio
  • Melissa Powell, 47, and Riordan Powell, 16, killed in a car crash caused by an illegal immigrant in Colorado
  • Ivory Smith, 7, killed in a car crash caused by an illegal immigrant in Texas
  • Taliyah Crochet, 18, and Rylan Oncale, 18, killed in a car crash caused by an illegal immigrant in Louisiana
  • Maria Pleitez, 42, and Dayanara, 11, killed in a car crash caused by an illegal immigrant in New Jersey

Each of these tragedies — and there are many more — serve as a reminder that ICE performs a fundamentally good and necessary role in enforcing US border laws and protecting Americans, even if individual mistakes occur or questions remain about Pretti’s death.

Like every country, America has the right and the responsibility to defend its borders, protect its citizens, and preserve its national sovereignty.

An American pastor, Michael Clary, Christ, the King Church, Cincinnati challenges viral online outrage over ICE, arguing that Christians are mistaking emotional manipulation for biblical compassion.

“Christians, you have got to stop being so gullible. Seriously, your naivete might feel warm and nice and friendly, but that’s not how Christian love works.

A friend shared a viral post that listed all the un-Christlike things ICE is supposedly doing, such as using “children as bait,” “shooting unarmed protesters,” “teargassing families,” and “terrorizing immigrant communities and people of color.”

The whole post goes on and on like this, and it’s dripping with moral outrage and emotional manipulation. What troubles me is that so many people share this like it’s wise and insightful. This is textbook emotional ambush. No argument, no evidence, just big feelings.

But I’ll tell you what isn’t Christlike, and I’ve got scripture to back it up. Being GULLIBLE. So why are Christians so gullible? It’s because they’ve been trained to think love means whatever it feels like in your happy place. If you do something that *feels* compassionate and think that’s what Jesus wants you to do, you’re wrong. Biblical love isn’t about pointing your emotions in a particular direction. Rather, biblical love is defined by actions and attitudes prescribed in scripture. How you feel about it is of secondary concern.

Christians, we are morally responsible for how we love. We don’t just get to feel sorry for an illegal immigrant and “stand up” for them and call it love. That’s not love, no matter how strongly you feel it. Love does not spread leftist propaganda, “love rejoices with the truth” (1 Cor 13:6).”
