MARX REVEALS THE SOURCE OF HIS INSPIRATION – “SEE THIS SWORD THE PRINCE OF DARKENESS SOLD IT TO ME”

Posted on by

In his 1841 poem “The Player” (also translated as “The Fiddler”), Karl Marx writes, “Look now, my blood-dark sword shall stab/Unerringly within thy soul./God neither knows nor honors art./The hellish vapors rise and fill the brain/Till I go mad and my heart is utterly changed.” He continues, “See this sword—the Prince of Darkness sold it to me,” and, “Ever more boldly I play the dance of death.”

Karl Marx monument by Soviet sculptor Lev Kerbel in Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany. The head is 7m high, made of bronze and erected in 1971. Behind Marx there’s a huge frieze exhorting ‘Workers of the world, unite!’ in several languages.

An analysis of the above poem from biographer Robert Payne, in his 1968 book “Marx,” states, “Marx is here celebrating a satanic mystery, for the player is clearly Lucifer or Mephistopheles [a Faustian devil], and what he is playing with such frenzy is the music which accompanies the end of the world.”

He continues, “Marx clearly enjoyed the horrors he depicted, and we shall find him enjoying in very much the same way the destruction of whole classes in the ‘Communist Manifesto.’ He was a man with a peculiar faculty for relishing disaster.”

“There can be very little doubt that those interminable stories were autobiographical,” wrote Payne. “[Marx] had the Devil’s view of the world, and the Devil’s malignity. Sometimes he seemed to know that he was accomplishing works of evil.”

However bizarre Marx’s early writings were, his stated claims and goals were not far from the reality of what he created: a system that in a single century took an unprecedented number of lives. Estimates vary, but according to combined research from historians, including Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Jung Chang, and Jon Halliday, and numbers collected by “The Black Book of Communism,” published by Harvard University Press in 1999, the number is close to 150 million deaths.

HOW AND WHERE IS AUSTRALIAN TAX PAYERS MONEY SPENT?

Posted on by

Australian Taxpayers Gave $2.2 Billion to Left-Wing Lobby Groups. Among the groups collecting the funds were the Working with Women Alliance, which pushes free abortion via Medicare, Minus18 Foundation, which hosts “Queer Formals” for 12-year-olds, and Acon Health, which promotes “gender transition” treatments for children.

Australian governments funnelled $2.2 billion in taxpayer funds to left-leaning advocacy groups over five years, according to a new report from the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA), with no equivalent funding identified for conservative groups. “They’re stacking the debate. They’re literally putting their thumbs on the scales,” IPA director of research Morgan Begg told independent reporter Topher Field, after his team searched for a taxpayer-funded advocacy group representing a conservative position on the same issues and found none.

The report, Stacking the Deck, examined 100 non-government organisations across five policy areas between the 2021 and 2025 financial years, drawing on filings submitted to the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission by the groups in question. State and federal governments handed them $2,237,280,125 combined.

In an interview with Field, Begg said the problem was not confined to any one side of politics but is a pattern that persists regardless of which party is in power. When governments provide extraordinary financial support lobbying itself on diversity, nanny state, co-governance, and green policies, it generates a false perception that debate on these issues is settled.

Among the groups receiving the funds is Acon Health, which received $99 million in taxpayer funding, has faced scrutiny for its role in promoting gender-affirming treatment for children and advocating for males who identify as transgender to compete in women’s sport.

Transcend Australia collected almost $2.2 million between 2020 and 2025 while campaigning against Queensland’s pause on puberty-suppressing drugs and cross-sex hormones for children, the report noted.

Minus18 Foundation, which received $1.9 million, runs an annual “Queer Formal” event for children aged 12 to 19 that bars parents and requires no parental permission.

The Working with Women Alliance, which received almost $1.3 million in federal funding, has recommended full Medicare coverage for abortion, lowering the voting age to 16, and requiring all artificial intelligence funding to carry a “gendered lens,” according to the IPA.

The Cancer Council, which forms part of a network that attracted $373.7 million in public health funding, has told government inquiries that “health mis and disinformation” should become a “regulatory responsibility” of all levels of government, the report said.

Groups spruiking diversity and multiculturalism absorbed the largest share of the funding, more than $1 billion over five years, with recipients including LGBTIQ+ Health Australia ($34.4 million), Thorne Harbour Health ($70 million) and Multicultural Australia ($178 million).

Reconciliation Australia received $28.3 million between FY2021 and FY2025 to promote the Voice, treaty and related constitutional change. No group opposing the Voice received government funding.

On immigration, Refugee Legal and the Human Rights Law Centre received a combined $21.2 million to contest the deportation of unlawful migrants, while the report identified no funded organisation dedicated to enforcing immigration law.

The report states plainly that no equivalent funding exists for the other side of these debates: “Governments do not fund organisations whose core mission is to advocate for the biological realities of binary sex, against an Indigenous Voice or treaty, or for the removal of those residing in Australia unlawfully.”

ANN WIDDECOMBE’S ASSASSINATION EXPOSES THE LEFT’S ”HATE SPEECH’ HYPOCRISY

Posted on by

Formidable Christian and former UK politician, Anne Widdecombe’s brutal murder suggests political violence, and the online left-wing celebration of Widdecombe’s murder offers potential insight into who killed her and why.

“It was her pursuit or invocation of ethics, morals, values, and standards that were rooted in the sacred that provoked the real intensity of hatred against her.”

“Those who exalted in her death imagine they were passing judgement on a bigot. In truth,” Ashenden acknowledged, “they were answering once again the question put to Cain, and answering it by reaching for a rock.”

Ann Widdecombe is a modern-day martyr. We are in a civil war between progressives and conservatives, hatred and democracy, Ashenden said. This is a war between “hatred and decency, the sacred and the profane, freedom and repression of speech.” It’s also between “the courage to articulate unwelcome truth, and those who dress censorship up as a compulsion.” “It’s a conflict between judgement and justice, mercy and the mob.”

Despite not yet knowing the reasons for Widdecombe’s assassination, Ashenden said, “we already know the fault lines of the moral and spiritual conflict.” We too are seeing “who places himself on which side of the line, and why.” “We too face the same invitation to keep faith with God or pretend that somehow we can make salvation ourselves.”

As Widdecombe once said, “You get to heaven through Christ. I mean, I would have thought that was perfectly obvious through the sacrifice at Calvary; I don’t know any other way of getting there.”

She did not deserve to die this way.

Widdecombe certainly doesn’t deserve the drivel being thrown at her by Karl Marx’s flying monkeys who think their “oppressor-oppressed” ideology puts them beyond scrutiny. The real monster is the Marxian woke zero-sum game in play here. Specifically, the Left’s double standards on domestic terror, “hate speech”, and political violence.

To quote the Moravians, “May the Lamb who was slain receive the reward of his suffering.”

Jesus told us that in the time before His return to restore righteousness, lawlessness will abound. It is spiritual warfare they will hate us because of Jesus name.

“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

FASTING, PRAYER AND GIVING CONCERNING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Posted on by

Fasting is older than the Law of Moses, older than the priesthood, and older than the Temple—yet most believers today treat it as a forgotten or optional discipline. It isn’t a hunger strike directed at heaven, a way to prove your willpower, or a technique to bend God’s arm.

In this video, Behind the Scripture traces the profound, beautiful, and hidden biblical theology of fasting from the ground up. It challenged me which is why I posted it, and it will probably challenge you. They explore the true Hebrew roots of what fasting means, the moments of national crisis in Israel, the corrections of the prophets, and how Jesus elevated the practice into a posture of holy longing for the Christian life. Fasting attracts God not because of your hunger—but because of what that hunger represents.

If this video opens something up in your faith, please consider subscribing to Behind the Scripture, leaving a comment with your thoughts, and sharing it with someone who is seeking a deeper relationship with God.

WILL CHRISTIANS ESCAPE THE TRIBULATION?

Posted on by

Does Revelation 3:10 “Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.” really promise that believers will escape the tribulation?

In this powerful and eye-opening study, Dr Baroo (LoveIsrael.org) examines one of the most debated verses in the book of Revelation — and uncovers what it actually teaches. You’ll discover the difference between tribulation and God’s wrath (Trumpet and Bowl judgements), who the “earth dwellers” really are, and why this verse may not be saying what many have been taught. This message challenges common assumptions and reveals a deeper biblical perspective about the end times, endurance, and the true identity of those who belong to the kingdom of God.

EZEKIEL’S TEMPLE IS JESUS THRONE ROOM DURING HIS MILLENNIAL REIGN ON THIS EARTH

Posted on by

Joel does a good job of explaining why God has given us incredible detail of Jesus Millennial Temple and how it impacts the world during the 1000 year transition period between Satan’s rule on planet earth and the new Heaven and new Earth of Revelation 21. Beginning in Genesis, Joel explains why the temple needs to exist in Jesus Millennial reign on this Earth. It is based on two realities: 1. The dwelling of God with man, and 2. The Davidic Covenant.

Two important scriptures are 2 Samuel 7:13 and Zechariah 6:11-13. There is no doubt about who will build the temple. It won’t appear magically it will be built. There will be many construction projects as Israel and the world is rebuilt after the devastation caused during the time God’s wrath is poured out on an unrepentant world.. The resurrected Saints will be busy ruling and reigning with Jesus. Moreover, as difficult as this is to comprehend they rule with a rod of iron.

“He (Jesus) shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.” 2 Samuel 7:13

“Take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: for he shall branch out from his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord. It is he who shall build the temple of the Lord and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule on his throne. And there shall be a priest on his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.” Zechariah 6:11-13

As I mentioned, the detail that is given on the temple is incredible. The river that begins under the temple is amazing in how it transforms the Dead Sea to be filled with all kinds of fish. The trees on either side of the river bear fruit every month and the leaves are for healing.

“And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.” Ezekiel 40:12

BEING READY FOR WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE FOR US

Posted on by

If the Parable of the Ten Virgins tells us anything, it is this: There are reserves you cannot borrow at midnight. When the cry goes out, you do not get handed clarity. You do not suddenly become steady. You do not wake up and magically think straight.

The midnight hour does not create oil. It reveals whether you have it or not. All Christians have received the Holy Spirit to be there counsellor, comforter and teacher. However, we can quench His work in our life when we do our own thing and grieve Him. Even Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane had to say not my will but the Father’s will be done “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” Luke 22:42. At all times we need to be filled with the Spirit and allow Him to direct our steps. “When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Matthew 10:19-20. It is a conscious decision to be filled with the Spirit and half the virgins did not apply themselves to that task, to keep their lamps full.

Because the end of the age is near we need to be ready, watchful. Peter says it as plainly as anyone: “The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.” That sentence alone should reset how most of us think about watchfulness. Prayers of thanksgiving to the Father for sending the Holy Spirit to guide our every step.

And before that, Peter says, “Prepare your minds for action… being sober-minded, set your hope fully…” That means sobriety is not passive. It is a prepared mind. A directed hope. A disciplined inner life. Paul says the same thing from another angle: “God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” 2 Tim. 1:7 Fear is not discernment. Fear is the wrong operating system.

Then Philippians grounds it even further. “The peace of God guards your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” Phil. 4:7. Guards them. Peace is one of the nine fruits of the Spirit.

Because the end of the age will increase two things at the same time: Deception and fear. Foggy minds are easy prey for both. Seek God. Face reality. Not one or the other. Both. Scripture never separates them. Peter ties sobriety to prayer because you cannot pray clearly if your mind is spinning. Jesus says “watch and pray” in the same breath. Watchfulness is not scrolling. It is attention in the presence of God. But Scripture also pulls us into honesty. “Search me.” “Try me.” “See if there is any wicked way in me.” That is not denial. That is naming what is actually there. Your body. Your stress. Your fear. Your relationships. Your patterns. Your motives. Your wounds. Your temptations.

Your next faithful step can only be taken when guided by the Holy Spirit.

POWERFUL TESTIMONY BY NEUROSURGEON, NEUROSCIENTIST AND PROFESSOR OF NEUROSURGERY

Posted on by

Throughout human history most people understood that human beings are physical beings, but also spiritual. People have physical bodies, but they are also non-material beings, with things like a soul, consciousness, and a mind. But militant Darwinists and atheists have rejected that understanding of what it means to be human.

I want to recommend a new book that seeks to rebut philosophical naturalism and make the case for the reality of non-material realities such as the mind. In this case, the writers are Christians, but they make their case based on what the science is actually discovering and saying.

The book is: The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul by Michael Egnor and Denyse O’Leary (Worthy Books, 2025). Denyse O’Leary has written on matters of science and faith, while Michael Egnor is a neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and professor of neurosurgery in New York.

From the Operating Room to the Chapel

In this post, I simply want to look at the testimony of Michael Egnor. He was an atheist, but his profession – involving 40 years in neurosurgery and 7,000 brain surgeries – has led him to faith.

Just two quotes from his Introduction – a short one and a long one – inform us of how his journey from atheism to Christian faith came about. The first one is this:

“When I was a medical student, I believed that science could explain everything. I was sure that answers to the big questions—How does consciousness emerge from the brain? Do we have a soul? Do we continue to exist after death?—would be found in the laboratory and the operating room. And so I was surprised when, late one night, I found the answers on the floor of a hospital chapel.“

This book is the story of what I learned after I got up off that chapel floor. It is about my search for the evidence that the mind is immortal and that, by extension, the human soul exists. That actual story goes as follows:

When my son was a few months old, my wife and I noticed that he wasn’t smiling or making eye contact with us. He would look at objects with interest, but not at people. We started to face the possibility that he might be autistic. This terrified me—I had always dreaded autism. I knew it would be the worst agony to have a child you love who doesn’t know you or love you back. I had nightmares about my son as an older child sitting in a room, alone and rocking back and forth, while his schoolmates played baseball and enjoyed normal childhoods.

We took the child to an autism specialist, but he said it was too soon to be sure. We would have to wait before we could know more. But at nearly six months of age, he was still not responding to us. I found it harder each day to go about my daily tasks because I thought about him all the time.

One night, it all came to a head. I was called to see a patient at a Catholic hospital in another town. As I was leaving the hospital, I passed the chapel. I thought, “I don’t believe in God, but I’ll do anything now. I just want my son to know me.” I went into the chapel and knelt before the altar. “God,” I said, “I don’t know if you exist, but I need help. I am terrified that my son is autistic. It’s agony to have a child who will never know or love me.”

Then I heard a voice—it was the only time in my life I’d ever heard a voice in my head that was not mine—and the voice said, But that’s what you’re doing to Me. I collapsed in front of the altar.

The voice I heard had only spoken seven words, but I felt like He knew me intimately and had been watching me with love and wisdom all my life and that He knew me better than I knew myself. It was like a curtain was lifted, and the Source of my life was speaking to me directly. My heart burned in me. When I recovered, I prayed, “Lord, I will stop doing it to You. I’m sorry. I won’t be autistic to You any longer. Please heal my son, and please heal me.” I walked out of the chapel a shaken man, and a different man.

The next morning, I called my local Catholic church (my epiphany had happened in a Catholic chapel, and I sensed that this is where He wanted to meet me) and asked to be baptized. A few days after my prayer in the chapel, I went home in the evening to my son’s six-month birthday celebration. That night, he was behaving like a completely normal child, looking us in the eye, smiling and laughing. I knew I had experienced a miracle. It seemed as if, just as I had stopped ignoring the Lord, He had also allowed my son to see me.

The next Easter, I was baptized, along with my son and other members of my family.

People of faith will find this to be a very powerful and moving testimony. Even some non-Christians might be greatly impacted by this amazing story. But of course, critics and sceptics will likely scoff at all this, saying it is all so much baloney, and this guy is just some hillbilly whacko.

It is hard to see how someone with his background, neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and professor of neurosurgery can be dismissed as just some religious nut. But before these misotheists go to war here, they should get the book which looks at the careful scientific and philosophical case that the authors make.

BIBLICAL PROPHESIED END TIMES FAMINE IS ABOUT TO HIT THE U.S.A.

Posted on by

What if the worst drought in modern U.S. history isn’t something coming… but something that’s already here?

Make sure you read my previous post Critical American Water Crisis as it shows that Lake Mead and Lake Powell have already dropped below the dead pool level, crucial reservoirs that provide drinking water for 40 million Americans, have “reached alarmingly low levels, holding just one-third of their usual capacity. As well, the Ogallala Aquifer is being depleted at an alarming rate, putting America’s agricultural heartland at serious risk. As water levels drop, farmers across the region face shrinking yields, rising costs, and an uncertain future.

Right now, the numbers don’t just look bad — they look impossible. Records that have stood for over a century are breaking all at once. Entire regions are drying out in ways they statistically shouldn’t. Systems that normally buffer against extreme conditions are failing quietly in the background.

The United States just recorded its driest start to a year in the entire 131-year instrumental record — precipitation from January through March came in below seventy percent of average, beating a mark that had stood since 1910. By the Palmer Drought Severity Index, this past March ranked as the third-driest month ever measured, behind only July and August of 1934, the worst months of the Dust Bowl. More than sixty-two percent of the Lower 48 is now in drought, roughly 158 million people are living inside it, and 46 of 50 states are registering moderate drought or worse. But here is the part the headlines keep missing. Drought, in the normal rhythm of the American climate, peaks in summer. This one broke a 131-year record in the spring — before the dry season has even begun. So how much worse can it get before the rains return?

And the most unsettling part? The event scientists expected to drive the worst of it… hasn’t fully arrived yet.

In this deep dive, we follow the trail from scattered warning signs to a single, uncomfortable realization: this may not be a temporary crisis, but the early phase of something much larger. From vanishing snowpack in the West to shifting atmospheric patterns over the Atlantic, from collapsing agricultural signals to the hidden mechanics of how drought actually builds — piece by piece, a bigger picture begins to emerge.

Along the way, we’ll explore the forces shaping this moment, the feedback loops accelerating it, and the unanswered question at the center of it all:

If this is only the beginning… what does the peak look like?
