FURTHER PROOF OF BIBLICAL PROPHESIED END TIMES FALLING AWAY

Posted on by

The United Methodist Church has removed Asbury Theological Seminary from its list of approved seminaries because it disagreed with the denomination’s decision to endorse homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

Asbury, based in Wilmore, Kentucky, is one of the most prominent institutions in the Wesleyan tradition. It remained committed to biblical theology, the authority of Scripture and the movement’s traditional understanding of Christian doctrine.

But the United Methodist Church has concluded that Asbury no longer fits within its vision for preparing future ministers.

For years, conservative churches and pastors left the UMC, convinced it had drifted from its biblical and theological foundations. They were often accused of abandoning Methodism. That raises an important question: who is really leaving Methodism?

John Wesley founded the Methodist movement on the authority of Scripture, the necessity of personal holiness, repentance, evangelism, and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Those were not secondary convictions. They were the very reason Methodism existed.

Every organization has the right to determine its own standards. The question is not about whether the United Methodist Church has that authority. The question is about whether those standards still reflect the movement John Wesley started.

Some will argue that Wesley himself evolved, and that faithful tradition must do the same. That is true, but there is a profound difference between development and departure Wesley’s ministry developed his understanding and application of biblical truth, but it never abandoned the authority of Scripture that grounded the movement. His changes deepened his founding convictions rather than contradict them.

Development builds upon a foundation; departure replaces it. When an institution begins revising the very authority that gave it its identity, it is no longer developing a tradition. It is creating a new one. History teaches that institutions rarely abandon their founding principles all at once. Drift is almost always gradual.

The best example is from the Old Testament in the life of King Solomon. Solomon did not wake up one morning and reject the God who had given him wisdom. His decline came one compromise at a time. One accommodation led to another. Small departures accumulated until the king who dedicated the Temple tolerated practices that would once have been unthinkable.

That is how drift works. It rarely announces itself. It happens slowly enough that each step seems reasonable. Only years later do people look back and realize how far they have travelled. The same danger confronts every institution, whether it is a church, a university, a business, or even a nation. Churches deserve the same honest examination.

The irony is striking. A seminary known worldwide for teaching historic Wesleyan theology is now considered unsuitable for preparing Methodist ministers. That fact alone should prompt serious reflection. This pattern is not unique to Methodism. Throughout history, movements that began with remarkable clarity have often struggled to preserve the convictions that first gave them life.

Universities founded to train ministers gradually became secular institutions. Churches established to proclaim biblical truth slowly shifted their focus to cultural relevance. The transition rarely happens because people consciously reject their heritage. That is why every generation must distinguish between faithfully applying timeless truth to new circumstances and redefining truth itself. The first preserves a movement’s identity. The second quietly replaces it.

Every church eventually faces the same temptation. Will we allow Scripture to shape our beliefs, or will we reshape our beliefs to fit the spirit of the age? The answer determines more than a denominational policy. It determines whether we are preserving our inheritance or slowly drifting from it. Perhaps the real question is no longer why some Methodists left Methodism, but whether Methodism has left Wesley.

The Trinity Pride Fest event at Fort Worth Texas was attended this year by several local churches, including St. Stephen Presbyterian and Broadway Baptist Church. It stoked controversy in 2025 after drag performers reportedly accepted tips from children and displayed vulgar signage at the all-ages event.

The encounter occurred June 27 at Trinity Pride Fest in Fort Worth, where police were caught on video threatening to arrest members of a street preaching team led by evangelist Rich Penkoski. According to the video, police blocked Penkoski and David Grisham from accessing the sidewalk upon their arrival at the event.

Tragedy is Jesus told us that in the last days before His return to restore righteousness there would be a great falling away. It is happening in our day along with many of the other Biblical prophesied end times events.

PROPHESIED END-TIMES SIGNS INCREASING

It is shocking and unfathomable that the brutal attack by Hamas on Israel, October 7, 2023 — an assault not only on a nation, but on its right to exist in that small patch on the globe, the only home the United Nations has allowed the Jewish people, has resulted in antisemitism worldwide. This is spiritual warfare which fits with what Jesus said would happen to Jews and Christians just prior to His return with the glorified Saints to restore righteousness.

AUSTRALIA: This article reports on a recent rally; As Melbourne reels from attacks on synagogues and Israeli-owned businesses, a rare coalition of faith communities gathered peacefully over the weekend to reclaim the moral ground in a nation struggling against rising terror and intimidation.

On Sunday, in Melbourne, fifteen organisations from three different communities — Hindus, Iranians and Israelis — gathered with one unified purpose: to stand against terrorism.

The rally came amid rising violence, public apathy, and a growing ideological threat not just to Israel, but to the very foundations of Australian democracy and religious freedom. Despite the hopeful turnout, many there questioned why only a few hundred people showed up, especially after the recent terror attacks in Melbourne. Where was the outrage? Where were the crowds? Only a handful of Christians came to stand in solidarity — three from the Family First Party and a few others.

As Gideon Rozner, Policy Director at the Institute of Public Affairs stated bluntly: “No Australian should have their place of worship firebombed.” But the painful truth remains — there have been no real consequences for these acts of violence and for the chants of death and terror that have plagued Melbourne’s streets.

Since the Never Again Is Now rally in May 2024, turnout has dwindled. Each Sunday morning, only 10 to 30 people — a few brave Jews, Christians and atheists — stand quietly in the CBD. They face down noisy, drum-beating, aggressive pro-Palestinian protestors shouting: “Kill the Jews,” “F… the Jews,” “Death to the IDF.”

Instead of arresting those who threaten violence, police have moved on the peaceful crowd and even threatened them with arrest simply for being in the city.

One Sunday, a Christian woman had her Lion of Judah flag ripped from her hand. Her husband gave chase to recover it — and was pepper-sprayed by police. On another morning, an elderly woman with a flag on an umbrella was grabbed by police, their arms tightly around her neck.

Melbourne, once one of the most successful multicultural cities in the world, is now almost unrecognisable. For 21 months, it has teetered on the edge of something dangerous.

Folks we are living in the end times. God established the nation of Israel for His purposes, and despite its disobedience, God will fulfill the many promises He made that Israel will one day be the leader of the nations with its Messiah, Jesus ruling reigning over the nations from a new Jerusalem for one thousand years.

END TIMES BIBLICAL PROPHESIED WAR IN DANIEL 8 IS IMMINENT

Posted on by

The stage is being set for the prophesied end-times war in Daniel 8 when the Goat (Sunni Turkey) overcomes the Ram (Shia Iran). What we see unfolding fits with end-times Biblical prophecy that prophecies a major battle between Sunni Turkey and Shia Iran with Turkey winning a decisive battle and re-establishing its dominance in the Muslim world.

Assad’s downfall marks a new realignment in the Middle East. The outcome of this tectonic shift is bound to have a profound impact on the Middle East and the global balance of power.

“We see a huge change in the region. Turkey has become stronger, Russia has become weaker, Iran has become weak,” said Badr Jamous, a leading anti-Assad opposition politician. “But it is the Syrians that will play a big role now, not like before. All will have to listen to our voice and to our decisions.”

Iran, whose embassy in Damascus was looted immediately after the rebel takeover, has lost its major ally in the “axis of resistance” and the vital land connection to its Hezbollah proxy militia in Lebanon.

Turkey is on the ascendant. With Assad gone, Ankara will clearly exert much greater authority over its southern neighbor, and the entire Levant, a boost to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s neo-Ottoman aspirations.

Turkey openly supports the Syrian National Army militia, which has focused its energy mostly on battles with Syrian Kurds in recent weeks, with clashes continuing Sunday. Turkey has also provided tacit backing to the most formidable Syrian rebel force, Sunni Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS.

Shia Iran (Ram) through its proxies has tried to be the dominant Muslim force in the Middle East “charging westward and northward, and southward” but the much stronger Sunni Turkey (Goat) will not allow that to happen.

“I was in Susa the citadel, which is in the province of Elam (in Iran) And I saw in the vision, and I was at the Ulai canal. I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram (Iran) standing on the bank of the canal… I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward. No beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.” Daniel 8:2-3, 4

“As I was considering, behold, a male goat (Turkey) came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground… He came to the ram (Iran) with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, and he ran at him in his powerful wrath… And the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him.” Daniel 8:5-7

Turkey seeks to re-establish its Ottoman Empire and for a short time it will be successful but then the prophecy reveals it will be broken up into four probably by the United Nations. They will not countenance another Ottoman Empire attempting to dominate the world.

“Then the goat (Turkey) became exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.
Out of one of them came a little horn (Antichrist), which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land. It grew great, even to the host of heaven.” Daniel 8:8-9

It is out of one of these four Muslim nations that the Antichrist arises.

AGAIN POPE FRANCIS PROCLAIMS A FALSE GOSPEL

Posted on by

Pope Francis has never shied away from provocative statements or launching in new directions. But this time he seems to have gone all the way. Pope Francis recently proclaimed “a different gospel” (Galatians 1:6).

During a three-day visit to Singapore, Pope Francis declared that “all religions are a path to God.” He boldly proclaimed, “There’s only one God, and each of us has a language to arrive at God. Some are Sheik, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, and they are different paths (to God).”

Someone in the Secretariat of State thought that remark needed a little massage, though, so the official Vatican translation added a verb and something that is either a participle or a gerundive, depending on how you diagram the sentence: “All religions are seen as paths trying to reach God.”

After a day or so of online invective and—presumably—more than a little back-and-forth within the Comms apparatus, a new translation appeared: “All religions are paths to God.”

If Francis and the official Vatican are correct, then Jesus was wrong when He stated,

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me” John 14:6

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16

Jesus did not die on the cross to provide “one more way” of getting to God. He died for our sins because it was the only way we could be reconciled to our Father in Heaven.

“God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them” 2 Corinthians 5:19

It is only through Christ that anyone can be reconciled to the Father. There simply is no other way, period.

“If righteousness could be gained through the Law, Christ died for nothing” Galatians 2:21

In other words, if a person could get to God without Christ, the Father would never have sent His only Son to suffer the agony of crucifixion for our salvation.

Pope Francis proclaimed a counterfeit gospel in Singapore. It is “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:8) The pope’s teaching smacks of Universalism rather than Christianity. This false teaching completely contradicts the wisdom of the Gospel and the truth of Scripture and reveals that the Catholic church is an apostate church with most of the other denominational churches. Jesus said this would be a major end-times sign indicating His return is near.

Pope Francis sounded more like a politician than a prophet in Singapore. If you attempt to reduce Christianity to the level of every other religion, you strip it of its core tenets. There is only One God, and He is triune. And there is only one Gospel, and “it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).

The world wants Christians to embrace the false gospel that Pope Francis unashamedly presented as truth. The big question is could Pope Francis be the Biblical prophesied end times False Prophet?

IN THE LAST DAYS LAWLESSNESS WILL ABOUND

Parliament House has been placed into lockdown after Invasion Day protesters swarmed the front of the building to protest Australia Day and Israel’s war in Gaza.

A group of Indigenous rights protesters amassed on the lawn outside Parliament brandishing the Aboriginal flag, amid chants of “always was, always will be.” Others waved Palestinian flags and beat drums.

One woman yelled “F–k Israel, f–k Australia”, in response to parliamentary security shutting the doors.

The protest wrapped up at the tent embassy near Old Parliament House, where cries for Indigenous land rights mixed with pleas for the Palestinian cause. Some activists brandished signs calling for a boycott of Israeli goods and declaring the Jewish state was not “above the law”.

In Melbourne, hundreds of people gathered outside the Victorian Parliament House for the Invasion Day rally. Some protesters brought the Aboriginal and Palestinian flags, with some signs at the event appearing to co-opt both causes.

Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance, the event’s organizers, said January 26 “is not a day to celebrate”. “It is an annual reminder of invasion, occupation, genocide, and the ongoing impacts of colonisation that continues to destroy our lives, our land, and our waters,” the group wrote on social media.

Free Palestine Melbourne, the organization that plans the weekly pro-Palestine rallies, has told their followers they will not hold a march this Sunday. Instead, they have instructed their followers to attend Friday’s Invasion Day protest. “We urge you to show up as you do weekly in your thousands and build up consciousness within your networks of the demands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people this invasion day,” they said on Instagram.

Can I ask you to take a look at my recent post Spirituality of Indigenous Australians; The Truth of It. The number of European Christians who have given their lives to ensure Aborigines received the Gospel of Jesus Christ is countless.

“And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:12-14
