The Albanese government is railroading through Parliament a legislative time bomb that could detonate every last shred of your medical freedom and our national sovereignty. It’s called the Australian Centre for Disease Control Bill 2025.
United Nations General Assembly Hall
This has nothing to do with controlling disease, and everything to do with controlling you.
If the Albanese government gets this through parliament, Australia will no longer be a sovereign nation in matters of health, privacy, or crisis management. We will be a province of the United Nations agency – WHO. A node in the global bio state.
UNITED NATIONS, Sept 12th (Reuters) – The United Nations General Assembly on Friday overwhelmingly voted to endorse a declaration outlining “tangible, timebound, and irreversible steps” towards a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians ahead of a meeting of world leaders.
It seems the United Nations will play a central role in the adoption of a one world government. It will be interesting to watch its leadership for a potential candidate for the Antichrist.
Are you ready for the coming tribulation?
“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.” Matthew 24:9-10
“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.” Matthew 24:21
Recent data suggests a potential resurgence of Christian faith and engagement in the UK, particularly among young men, with increased church attendance and Bible study reported by organizations like the Bible Society and in various news outlets. This trend is marked by large public gatherings, where thousands of Christians have come together to pray and declare their faith. While scepticism about a full revival exists, these indicators point to a possible shift, with some observers noting a “remarkable spiritual shift” and a renewed desire for discipleship among Britons. Check out my recent post on Gen Z – The Revival Generation. It reports similar findings in the USA. The same goes for Australia so God is definitely reaching out to the youth across the world. He is a wonderful loving God.
One of the really interesting stats in the Bible Society report was when they asked non-churchgoers “would they go to church if they were invited by a friend or family member?” 31%, just under a third, said they would, which is pretty amazing. And that rose a little bit to 34% of 18 to 24 year olds who were non-churchgoers. So they saw this growth, but it’s not a ceiling. And when we think about the importance of friendships and relationships to people exploring faith, that’s a really interesting place to begin. So let’s start with family, friends and neighbours.
They saw that two thirds of the population said they’d be happy for a Christian friend to pray for them. And just over a quarter said they’d be interested in learning more about the Bible. And that’s just so much bigger than the number who are regularly in church, which even in this new data set is only 12%. So that interest is far greater than those who are currently practicing.
One of the big themes that comes through is just how important relationships and friendships are. They asked people to agree or disagree with a statement around whether they would read the Bible if a friend or family recommended it to them versus if a philosopher or thinker, or public figure recommended it to them. And in general the agreement rate is far higher if friends or family recommended it rather than public thinkers. So certainly people like Charlie Kirk and Jordan Peterson are important, I don’t think there’s any question on that, but really what makes people open to trying new things does seem to be at the much more personal and local level. So yes, we would encourage everyone to see openness as something for them to explore and think about.
The video shows an event held by Daniel Chand, an evangelist, pastor, author and the founder of Walking Like Jesus Ministries. He has led hundreds of thousands of people to salvation through his campaigns, Tent Revivals and international open-air crusades. After graduating from Reinhard Bonnke’s school of evangelism in 2013, Daniel went on to launch Walking Like Jesus Ministries – a ministry which conducts some of the largest gospel campaigns in the UK annually, and hosts multiple weekly television programmes on TBN UK including, Let’s Talk Revival and Walking Like Jesus.
Charlie’s critics would have you believe he was “far-right”. Actually, he was nothing of the sort. Charlie Kirk was a vanilla conservative. He believed in God, the right to life, traditional marriage, merit over race, secure borders, and small government.
He was also a passionate defender of free speech and open debate. It was this conviction that prompted him to found Turning Point USA (TPUSA) — a multimillion dollar non-profit credited with winning hundreds of thousands of young and restless college students to commonsense conservatism. Indeed, TPUSA played a pivotal role in flipping the youth vote red in 2024, where support among 18-29-year-olds swung 21 points, helping Trump take back the White House.
Charlie Kirk loved debate because he hated violence. He believed America’s deep cultural and spiritual problems could be resolved by giving a hearing to even the worst ideas and persuading people with the truth.
In a video that’s gone viral since his death, he explains that he toured American colleges persuading young people because “when people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that’s when civil war happens”.
A student who witnessed Charlie Kirk’s assassination reported that a group of his opponents in the crowd cheered when he was shot.
Talking heads in the legacy media indulged in ritual victim-blaming, suggesting that Charlie had invited his own demise by the views he expressed.
BlueSky, a platform widely billed as the left’s compassionate alternative to X, was reportedly a hotbed of hate this week — Daily Wire journalist Megan Basham said that upon searching for Charlie Kirk’s name, every single post “was either laughing at, sneering at, or suggesting there was something ironic in his death”.
This report from a republican in parliament shows the extent of the spiritual battle that is being waged: One of the most disgusting and evil things that I’ve ever seen. Just before we learned Charlie had passed, we tried to lead a prayer on the House floor – praying for his recovery after he was tragically shot. The Democrats started booing and yelling at us. It was absolutely disgusting. Their rhetoric caused this, and their actions today show they have no remorse!!!
Transgender and “antifascist” ideology was engraved on the ammunition found inside the rifle likely used in the murder, according to the Wall Street Journal, though the killer remains at large. It may be some time before we learn more about the assassin’s motive, but even when those answers come, they’ll only form part of the picture. Charlie Kirk’s murder did not take place in a vacuum.
Conservatives have been dehumanised in elite circles for decades. “They get bitter and cling to guns or religion,” Barack Obama scoffed in 2008. During her 2016 White House run, Hillary Clinton derided Trump’s base as a “basket of deplorables… racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it”. Joe Biden, on the campaign trail in 2018, called them “the dregs of society”.
From there, the rhetoric only escalated. During Biden’s infamous Red Speech in 2022, he declared “MAGA Republicans” — of whom Charlie Kirk was undeniably a figurehead — a “threat to democracy” and to “the very foundations of our republic”. By this time, an entire genre of bloodthirsty discourse was flooding the internet.
Yes, anyone can find examples of untempered speech on both sides of politics, but the uncomfortable truth for US Democrats is that it’s coming not from their fringes but their frontlines. Donors, celebrities, congressmen, media pundits and more queued up to call Trump a Nazi, a fascist, and Hitler reincarnate right up to the moment an assassin almost felled him in the fields of Butler, Pennsylvania. And after a brief pause of national reflection, they resumed the name-calling in earnest.
It was Charlie Kirk himself who, in April of this year, pointed out that “assassination culture is spreading on the left”.
“Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk,” he explained in a now-eerie post on X, citing alarming research reported by Fox News. “Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.” Charlie continued:
The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end.
Christians need to be aware that we are in the Biblical prophesied end times before Jesus returns. Persecution/Tribulation will increase exactly as Jesus predicted in His Olivet discourse. Sadly, a great falling away in the church is also prophesied and this is happening with much of the denominational church compromising with the world’s unbiblical values such as homosexuality, including homosexual marriage.
“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 24:9-12
Charlie Kirk understood the price he might have to pay standing up for the truth in the public square. May we have the courage to do the same.
C.S. Lewis once put it, “Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Legislator.” Christianity is a science-starter. God made us in His image to create as He creates.
The creation/evolution debate has continued unabated for a century. The US and, indeed, the world remain highly divided on the question of origins. The good news is that latest scientific discoveries like the electron microscope that revealed in even the simplest cells complex machinery and transport devices and then the discovery of DNA which is complex information that controls the complex machinery and transport devices in every cell. There is no way this could have evolved and the only source of complex information is intelligence of the highest order. The God who exists outside of the complex universe He created.
There is no mechanism to explain evolution, from “GOO to YOU”. Darwin’s natural selection won’t do it. It only selects from what is already there. The only other proposed mechanism – mutations, also won’t do it. Mutation loses information it does not add information. Moreover order does not come from chaos. God exists and even more important He loves us.
J-TV – The Global Jewish Channel. Listen to how the Jews see end times prophecies from a midrash standpoint (midrash is the rabbinic endeavour of mining the text of Tanach, the Hebrew Bible). They understand we are living in the end times and its fascinating how they see Tanach prophecies being played out in our time.

Historian and author Raymond Ibrahim joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful, eye-opening conversation on the hidden history of Islam’s conquest of the Christian world—and why so few dare to speak about it today. Raymond traces the rapid Islamic expansion following Muhammad’s death, showing how, within just one century, Muslim armies had violently overrun three-quarters of the original Christian world—from Syria and Egypt to Spain and deep into Europe. He dismantles the myth of Andalusian “tolerance,” reveals the brutal realities behind the so-called Islamic Golden Age, and explains how the Islamic conquests shattered the Mediterranean world, plunging Europe into the Dark Ages. Raymond explores the modern censorship around Christian persecution, the resurgence of historical jihadist rhetoric in groups like ISIS, and the urgent lessons today’s leaders refuse to learn. All this—the real story of the Crusades, the lost Christian heartlands, the enduring legacy of conquest, and the history the mainstream media won’t touch…
Key takeaways from the interview with Winston Marshall include:
The greatest spiritual awakening will be when the Jews see Jesus and all Israel will be saved
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. The land shall mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves; and all the families that are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.
“On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.“ Zechariah 12:10-14, 13:1
“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.” Deuteronomy 30:6
And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the Lord.“ Hosea 2:18-20
“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” Jeremiah 31:31-33
“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach, each one his neighbour and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” Hebrews 8:10-12
Examining over 200 tide gauge stations worldwide, researchers have found no global acceleration in sea level rise, contrary to wild predictions by climate alarmists and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
For decades, the public has been warned that human-driven climate change is causing sea levels to surge at alarming rates, threatening to swallow coastal cities by the end of the century. But a landmark new peer-reviewed study has found no evidence that sea level rise is accelerating worldwide.
Published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, the paper by Dutch engineer Hessel Voortman and researcher Rob de Vos analysed hundreds of tide gauge records. Their conclusion is stark: “Our analysis of more than 200 tide gauge stations around the world shows that there is no global acceleration of sea level rise”.
Unlike previous studies that relied heavily on climate models, Voortman and de Vos used observed data from tide stations stretching back at least 60 years. They found that the mean rate of sea level rise remains steady at around 1.5 mm per year — about 15 cm per century — similar to rates observed in the 20th century.
“The average rate of sea level rise in 2020 is around 1.5 mm per year,” Voortman explained. “This is significantly lower than the 3 to 4 mm per year often reported by climate scientists in scientific literature and the media.”
Their analysis showed that claims of acceleration are confined to a handful of isolated sites, typically explained by local conditions such as earthquakes, groundwater extraction or sediment shifts. “This pattern is inconsistent with sea level acceleration driven by global phenomena,” the authors wrote.
One of the study’s most significant findings is the gap between observed sea level data and projections from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The IPCC’s 2021 report projected much higher rates of sea level rise, yet Voortman and de Vos found that “on average, the rate of rise projected by the IPCC is biased upward with approximately 2 mm per year in comparison with the observed rate”.
In other words, widely circulated claims of seas rising by three to ten feet this century are not supported by measured data. Instead, the study suggests that sea levels could rise by only six inches — about the same increase seen in the previous century.
“The graph shows the majority of locations to be above the blue line,” the authors noted of their comparison chart. “This indicates that the rate of sea level rise in the projections is too high compared to the empirical rate”.
Where acceleration was detected, it was almost always linked to localised factors rather than a global climate signal. For example, at Ayukawa in Japan, the 2011 Tohoku earthquake caused the land to drop suddenly by more than 80 cm, leading to a sharp spike in recorded sea levels.
In Bangkok and Mumbai, excessive groundwater extraction and rapid urban development explained unusual patterns of rise.
Voortman stressed that such anomalies should not be confused with evidence of global acceleration. “Nine stations did show an acceleration,” he explained. “But these stations are mostly located near stations that show no acceleration in sea level rise, making it unlikely that a global phenomenon such as global warming caused by CO2 is the underlying cause.”
These findings stand in sharp contrast with decades of dire headlines.
In 2019, New York Times columnist David Wallace-Wells warned, “We will see at least four feet of sea level rise and possibly ten by the end of the century.” That same year, The Atlantic declared, “The oceans we know won’t survive climate change.” The lattercited Princeton scientist Michael Oppenheimer, who predicted that sea levels would rise by more than 2 feet 9 inches by 2100.
Voortman was blunt about the failure to test projections against reality: “It is crazy that it had not been done,” he said, describing his review of whether any global study had actually compared projections with observations. “There were none.”
His work began with a 2023 paper focused on the Dutch coast, where he found no acceleration despite repeated warnings. That led to this global analysis with de Vos, revealing the same result worldwide.
De Vos, in an article reflecting on the research, criticised what he called the “IPCC narrative” around sea level rise. “One of the ‘crown jewels’ of the IPCC narrative is rising sea levels,” he wrote. “But our analysis shows that acceleration is not statistically demonstrable at almost all stations.”
The study is already being described by some commentators as a monumental embarrassment. Michael Shellenberger, a prominent climate analyst, called it “a massive scientific scandal” for showing that widely repeated claims of acceleration were unsupported by observational data.
For many Australians, the constant drumbeat of catastrophic climate warnings has been a source of fear, particularly for young people. The latest study raises important questions: if sea level rise is steady but not accelerating, how should Christians respond to narratives of crisis and alarm?
As believers, we are called to be people of truth. Scripture reminds us that God “did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7). While creation care remains vital, Christians can resist being swept along by exaggerated or misleading claims that foster anxiety rather than stewardship.
Voortman and de Vos’s research offers a rare moment of clarity in the climate debate. Their careful analysis of real-world data shows that global acceleration in sea level rise is simply not occurring. Instead, the seas are rising at the same modest pace as the last century, shaped more by local geology and human activity than by sweeping climate forces.
For policymakers, engineers, and families alike, the message is clear: do not build decisions on fear or exaggeration, but on truth grounded in evidence. The truth revealed in God’s Word. We know how the story of this fallen world plays out. Satan’s rule over this world is coming to an end. Next on God’s agenda for this fallen world is Jesus Millennial reign (http://www.millennialkingdom.net). In order to fulfill the covenant promises made to Abraham, David and the new covenant Israel’s Messiah, Jesus must rule the nations of the world. We have had 6,000 years of Satan’s rule now we will have 1000 years of Jesus rule before God destroys this cosmos and He creates a new Heaven and new Earth where only righteousness dwells.
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.” Revelation 21:1-3
Prayer does not promise to free us from trouble. Indeed, God promises us the opposite. Trials will come. Such is this world. Rather, we pray to align our hearts and minds with God’s will.
We pray that we would accept God’s ordering of things, not our own, because it is HIS Kingdom.
We pray that we will be made strong and made better in difficulty, like gold purified in fire.
We pray that we would do those things which advance God’s purposes, to shine His testimony brightest in the darkness.
We pray for those things which we believe are in God’s will — but with the same caveat Jesus used — “not my will, but Yours be done.”
We pray with our eyes on the new heaven and new earth, where all these troubles will be solved, the dead will be reunited, and every tear will be wiped away.
The mockers will say, “See! Prayer did not help!” Not so.
It is only by faith that the tragedies of this fallen world become instruments of advancing a greater purpose.
The one who has no faith is defeated because they have no hope beyond living a trouble-free life, which happens to nobody.
But to the one who has faith, the troubles of this world are like gym equipment to a gymnast. They strengthen us. They bring us close to God. They help us to understand things with an ultimate and eternal perspective.
And it is those people, made fit by the fallenness of their world, who are strong to advance works for God; who walk in His ways; and who will rejoice the greatest when God greets them and all the troubles that made them are now resolved.
To put it bluntly, they are not the killers. They are the finest of people.
No point railing against the pray-ers in trouble. You will be better served to understand their method.
Then you can live with hope and meaning, too, no matter what this fallen world throws up.
