Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen still fighting hate speech charge

The consequences of one tweet posted seven years ago continue to reverberate for Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen, who is at the centre of an ongoing legal case for “hate speech.” This is intense spiritual warfare. There is no other reasonable explanation for it. We are in the Biblical prophesied last days before Jesus returns and Satan is bound and cast into a pit for the time of Jesus millennial reign on this earth:

And he (Angel) seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.” Revelation 20:2-2-3

We are in the time of tribulation and it will escalate to great tribulation. The Saints will be protected from the wrath of God which is poured out with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements but not the tribulation which will purify the body of the apostates as exemplified by the Laodicean church.

In 2019, Räsänen, who is also a former government minister, posted a tweet questioning the appropriateness of the Evangelical Lutheran Church being a sponsor for an LGBT pride event in Helsinki.

Her tweet also included an image of a Bible verse from Romans Chapter 1, which states, “The men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

In 2021, Räsänen was charged with “agitation against a minority group” under the section of the Finnish criminal code that deals with “war crimes and crimes against humanity.” The charges relate to the tweet, as well as her comments in a radio debate and a church pamphlet published in 2004. The co-publisher of the pamphlet, Bishop Juhana Pohjola, was also charged.

In the debate, Räsänen argued that, according to the Bible, marriage is between one man and one woman and that homosexual relationships are sinful. The pamphlet also included these biblical beliefs. 

Both Räsänen and Pohjola were acquitted of all charges in 2022 and again in 2023. However, the prosecutor has appealed yet again, taking the case to Finland’s Supreme Court, which is set to hear oral arguments on Oct. 30.

Paul Coleman, executive director of ADF International and part of Räsänen’s legal defense team, expressed disbelief that the state was continuing to go after her.

“It is shocking that after two unanimous acquittals, Päivi Räsänen is again being dragged to court to defend her fundamental right to freedom of speech,” he said.

Speaking of her ongoing ordeal, Räsänen said, “It isn’t a crime to tweet a Bible verse, or to engage in public discourse from a Christian perspective. The attempts to criminalize me for expressing my beliefs have resulted in an immensely trying last few years, but I still hope for a positive result that will stand as a key precedent to protect the human right to free speech in Finland.”

GEN Z – THE REVIVAL GENERATION

Several people involved with a new documentary about the revival among Generation Z told The Christian Post why they believe the unique challenges young people are facing have left them especially open to the Gospel.

The Revival Generation,” which was produced by the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN)’s Abigail Robertson, premiered last Wednesday at the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts amid the Trump administration’s push to promote more faith-friendly content at the prestigious venue.

Detailing some of the large revivals on college campuses in recent years, the film portrays thousands of Gen Z students filling stadiums as they pursue healing and faith through Christ, which attendees at the red-carpet premiere said hurting young people are desperately seeking.

‘Toughest time to be a young person’

Those attending the premiere included members of the White House Faith Office and other prominent Christian figures, including former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson. He was among the voices who offered insight in the film about the spiritual searching among Gen Z or “Zoomers,” who were born roughly between 1997 and 2012 and suffer from unprecedented depression, identity issues and mental illness.

Tim Robertson, son of the late CBN founder and evangelist Pat Robertson, told CP he believes many young people have come to reject the bitter fruit and spiritual failure of the prevailing secular worldview they inherited.

“Young people are looking at some of the values they’ve been given from a very permissive generation that’s older, and they want to find some stability in their lives,” he said. “And obviously Christianity gives them that stability, and it gives them a rock and an anchor.”

“I think a lot of the ideology of the Left is being exposed as being empty, and they want something that’s real, and that’s what they’re finding in Jesus,” he added.

Much of the documentary centers on Tonya Prewett, a mother who founded the UniteUS movement. Her own daughter’s struggles with addiction and suicidal ideation led her to establish the nonprofit that organizes prayer and worship gatherings among college students.

As recounted in the film, she was involved with the revival at Auburn University in September 2023, when thousands gathered in the school’s auditorium for worship, and hundreds were baptized impromptu in an on-campus pond, despite the freezing weather.

Similar student-led revivals took place that year at colleges such as Asbury University in Kentucky, Lee University in Tennessee, Samford University in Alabama, as well as Texas A&M University and Baylor University in Texas. These students are discovering that their creator, God loves them and of course it changes their lives forever.

WHEN WILL TWO WITNESSES OF REVELATION 11 MINISTER ON EARTH?

Who are the two witnesses of Revelation 11 and when will they minister on earth. We know from Scripture how long they minister on earth.

And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” Revelation 11:3

Check out Nelson Walters video to discover their identity and whether they minister in the first half or second half of the 70th Week.

BIOLOGICAL FACTS RULED SEVERE CONTEMPT UNDER NSW ANTIDISCRIMINATION ACT

Women’s advocate Kirralie Smith and her organisation Binary face up to $200,000 in fines after their statements calling male-born soccer players “men” were ruled unlawful vilification under the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act.

A New South Wales court has ruled that calling a person born male a “man” amounts to unlawful vilification, adding to a series of legal setbacks for women’s rights advocate Kirralie Smith.

Two lengthy judgments handed down Tuesday by Deputy Chief Magistrate Sharon Freund focussed on a collection of social media posts Smith made in 2023 about Stephanie Blanch and Riley Dennis — two male-born players who compete in female soccer divisions in NSW.

“I am satisfied that the defendant unlawfully vilified the plaintiff… when she referred to the plaintiff as a male or a man,” Freund wrote in one of the rulings.

Smith, who serves as Director and Spokesperson of Binary Australia, may face penalties of up to $200,000 in fines, mandatory apologies, and compulsory re-education to affirm the idea that men can become women.

The decisions follow last week’s separate Court of Appeal ruling that upheld a two-year apprehended violence order (AVO) against Smith for “harassment” after she posted images questioning male participation in women’s sport. That AVO prevents Smith from posting content identifying Blanch, who is also a plaintiff in one of this week’s judgments.

Biological Facts Ruled ‘Severe Contempt’

Tuesday’s decisions arose from two separate complaints lodged by Stephanie Blanch and Riley Dennis earlier this year. Blanch, who adopted a female identity in 2016, plays for Wingham FC. Dennis, also trans-identifying, is the top goal scorer in Football NSW’s Women’s League One First Grade.

On social media and in emails, Kirralie Smith questioned the fairness of their participation and referred to them as male. One Binary Australia newsletter described Blanch as “a bloke in a frock,” while Smith’s posts highlighted Dennis’s dominant performance, asking why there was a women’s division “if anyone is a woman.”

The court concluded that these statements had the capacity to incite “severe contempt” or “hatred” under section 38S of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW).

The judge ordered Smith and Binary Australia to delete existing content, publish apologies, and create compliance programs to prevent future “vilification.” Failure to comply within two months could result in significant financial penalties.

This is lunacy, a world gone mad and evidence we are in the last days before Jesus prophesied return to restore righteousness. Most Christians are unaware that Jesus is coming back not only to rescue Israel at the battle of Armageddon but He is then going to rule on this Earth for 1,000 years before it is finally destroyed by fire. If you would like more information on what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth, go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

After Jesus Millennial Kingdom, the second resurrection then takes place followed by the white throne judgement. Only then does the apostle John see the new Heaven and new Earth where only the righteous dwell.

BEING A WITNESS FOR JESUS

Australian high jumper Nicola Olyslagers (née McDermott), known for her outspoken Christian faith, has shared the podium in Switzerland despite adverse conditions.

Defying the pouring rain, Aussie athlete Nicola Olyslangers took a single jump to clear 1.91 metres in the high jump competition at the Diamond League in Lausanne, Switzerland. 

The conditions were less than optimal, causing world high jump champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh (Ukraine) to bow out after two failed attempts. But the soaked track didn’t stop Olyslangers from taking the risk—and it paid off, as she cleared the bar on her first and only attempt.

“On a night where rain battered the stadium and Olympic champions faltered, dual Olympic medallist Nicola Olyslagers rose above the conditions to share the top spot in the Women’s High Jump at the Lausanne Diamond League, a highlight in a string of gritty Australian performances in Switzerland.” — Sascha Ryner, Australian Athletics

The New South Wales-based Olympian, who in 2021 became the first woman to clear 2 metres and last year won silver in the Paris Olympics, shared the podium with Poland’s Maria Zodzic and Germany’s Christina Honsel.

Characteristically, Olyslangers left no question as to who deserved the praise, telling reporters that God is the reason she doesn’t flag under adverse conditions.

“… the joy that’s inside of me can’t get drowned out because it’s from a source that doesn’t get diluted with circumstances, because I have God’s joy inside of me…” — Nicola Olyslangers

Olyslangers posted photos of the pouring rain on Instagram with the caption, “The floodgates opened over Lausanne 💙 When it’s worship, it’s a treasured moment no matter the weather.”

BIBLICAL HISTORY SHOWS US GOD’S PEOPLE REPEATEDLY IGNORED HIS WARNINGS OF HIS COMING JUDGEMENT

An estimated 25% to 30% of the Bible is prophecy and much of it is now fulfilled, no mistakes, so why don’t we believe the end times prophecies that are now being fulfilled in our time?

I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purposeIsaiah 46:9-10

Although it appears Enoch and Noah preached the coming end of the pre-flood world, no one responded. Even with the witness bore through the name Methuselah, which meant his death shall bring judgment, no action was taken except for Noah and his family.
Throughout Scripture, the response of these ancient people is conveyed—they continued eating, drinking, and marrying until the promised curtain closed. The same is said of those in the cities of the
plain, Sodom and Gomorrah, which were destroyed by fire and brimstone.
This pattern is repeated throughout the entire Bible. A warning of judgment is given by God and ignored.
The warning is repeated through spokesmen sent by God, and those warnings are unheeded. Promised signs appeared, and those too are disregarded. Time passes, and people take that as further proof there will never be a judgment. But in every case, the promised catastrophic event occurs just as foretold.
This was the case with the flood. Then with Sodom and Gomorrah.
We observe it happen to the northern ten tribes of Israel by the hand of the Assyrians. Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Micah had warned them. Warnings had begun with Moses, close to 700 years before the event. Israelites were told if they didn’t repent and turn from idolatry they’d be driven out of the land. Micah clearly stated the Assyrians would come from the north. And it happened. Prophets also preached to the southern tribes in Judah, and the events there paralleled what had happened in the North. These
two southern tribes had received the same warnings from Moses recorded in the Torah. They’d hear from Joel, Isaiah, Habakkuk, Jeremiah, and others. Yet they never responded, and the Babylonians invaded Judah and carried them away into captivity. Beyond the Assyrian and Babylonian captivity, those same
prophets warned of a time when Israel would be scattered to the four corners of the earth. This would be fulfilled after Jesus ascended into Heaven when the Romans besieged and eventually ransacked
Jerusalem in 70 AD.
This pattern of warning, unbelief, and judgment has repeated itself over and over. Sadly, we see it today, the end times signs which Jesus, John (Revelation) and the prophets have given us are being ignored and as Peter warned scoffed at.

Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation. 2 Peter 3:3-4

What are you doing with Jesus warnings in the Oliver Discourse – Matthew 24 and Mathew 25? Do you know we are living in the last days before Jesus returns first to rescue the Saints but then to pour out His wrath on an unbelieving world with the Trumpet (Revelation 8) and Bowl (Revelation 16) judgements?

ARCHAEOLOGY PROVES THE BIBLE’S HISTORY IS TRUE

The recent discovery of a coin was made in Jerusalem that dates before the destruction of the temple that has changed how the world looks at the State of Israel. Christians are not surprised because this discovery alone proves yet again that God’s word is true and the land of Israel belongs to the Jews.

The proposed two State solution being considered by the UN next month is confronting God head on and like the coin confirms Biblical end times prophecy and the Bible as God’s Word.

NELSON WALTERS ON UN TWO STATE SOLUTION FOR PALESTINE AND ISRAEL

The UN Two-State “Peace Plan” should terrify you!! It is a major end times sign. They have set a 15 month timeline till the “Point of No Return.” Click here to discover why this agreement will be terrifying to Christians and Jews, the special warnings God has hidden in his Word about this exact thing, and why many Israelis will miss it. What Trump will do is critical, and sadly, it is likely he will bring the USA under the curse that nations that curse Israel bring upon themselves.

And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonours you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.Genesis 12:2-3

EVERY DAY THERE ARE MAJOR NEW DISASTERS – FULFILLING BIBLICAL PROPHECY

My last three posts clearly show that God is shaking nations likely never before, exactly as He prophesied, prior to Him pouring out His wrath with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. We are experiencing the prophesied birth pangs. Let us make sure we use these prophesied events to lead people to Jesus Christ. He is their only hope.

Beijing was devastated by the largest hailstorm in recorded history. Giant ice stones shattered landmarks, crippled airports, destroyed harvests, and left millions without power. With $27.5 billion in damage and hundreds dead, the city now faces the long road to rebuild.

I can’t believe this lasted for 36 hours straight. I’ve never seen a hailstorm that lasted more than 2 or 3 hours at most. This is more than just a storm; this is THE storm. In credible.

And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.Revelation 16:21

Tokyo and Osaka were struck by two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.1 and 7.3 magnitude, causing widespread destruction and panic across major cities. The tremors triggered the collapse of subway tunnels, leaving thousands trapped and prompting emergency evacuations. Local authorities reported that over 1 million people were forced to leave their homes as aftershocks continued to shake the region. NHK News, CNN, BBC, and Reuters report scenes of chaos as emergency teams work tirelessly to rescue trapped residents and provide aid to affected areas. Tokyo & Osaka Hit by 7.1 & 7.3 Quakes – Subway Collapses, 1M Evacuated . Roads and bridges were damaged, electricity and water services disrupted, and hospitals are overwhelmed with injured citizens. Citizens are advised to stay in safe zones, avoid unstable buildings, and follow instructions from local authorities. Social media footage shows dramatic images of collapsed buildings, subway stations in ruins, and people helping each other amidst the disaster.

THE TRUE STORY ON AID TO GAZA

While accusations persist that Israel is deliberately starving Gaza as part of a genocidal strategy, the evidence overwhelmingly shows otherwise. Israel has not only facilitated massive humanitarian aid inflows, but has done so under extreme wartime conditions, despite Hamas‘s ongoing rocket attacks, hostage-taking, and deliberate sabotage of aid distribution.

Since October 7, 2023:

  • Israel has delivered unprecedented aid volumes—nearly 2 million tons via 90,000+ trucks, airdrops, and sea routes—proving no intent to starve.
  • Famine claims are isolated to Hamas-dominated combat zones, not Israeli-controlled areas.
  • The Integrated (Food Security) Phase Classification’s (IPC) declaration hinges on eased, opaque criteria, fuelling misleading narratives.
  • Starvation deaths remain minimal compared to famine thresholds, with violence as the primary killer.
  • Hamas’s aid theft, black-market profiteering, and refusal to end the war are the true drivers of suffering, turning humanitarian crises into weapons against Israel.

This isn’t genocide or deliberate starvation—it’s a tragic consequence of Hamas’s aggression and manipulation. International bodies should demand accountability from Hamas, not enable its tactics through biased reporting. The mainstream media are propagating fake news again.

Please note that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has been praised by its supporters for delivering millions of meals to Gaza’s civilians under challenging conditions, aiming to bypass Hamas aid diversion and provide a secure, direct distribution system. Its efforts focus on addressing acute food insecurity through partnerships, logistical innovation, and U.S. backing, with a reported $30 million commitment from the U.S. government. Hamas have repeatedly attacked GHF distribution as they lose control and political power.

Hamas’s role in exacerbating suffering cannot be ignored. Multiple reports document the group’s systematic diversion of aid for military purposes, including reselling supplies on black markets to fund terrorism—estimated to have netted Hamas nearly $1 billion since the war began.
