PRIME MINISTER ALBANESE: BONDI JIHADIS WERE “DRIVEN BY AN EXTREME PERVERSION OF ISLAM”

Posted on by

This article is republished with thanks to The James Macpherson Report. Originally titled, “Albanese Says the Quiet Part Out Loud”.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has conceded the Bondi jihadis were “driven by an extreme perversion of Islam”. And just like that — after years of verbal gymnastics, semantic tap-dancing, and ideological denial — we’re allowed to say the word Islam in the same sentence as terrorism. Progress comes in strange ways. He told journalists…

“Tragically, in 2025, we live in a dangerous time and these two evil people have engaged in this act of anti-Semitism driven by ideology, [an] extreme perversion of Islam that has resulted in these catastrophic consequences.

“The clear advice that we have at this point is that there is no evidence of collusion. There’s no evidence that these people were part of a cell.”

He was quick to reassure us, of course. No collusion. No cell. Lone wolves. Always lone wolves. Radicalised by no one, influenced by nothing, emerging mysteriously from the ideological ether like murderous mushrooms after rain. And if you believe that, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Anyway, here’s the good news… Anthony Albanese has now said out loud what we have always known to be true — terror attacks are driven by an ‘ideology’ and that ideology has a name. Islam.

Yes, yes — before the outrage hotline lights up — the PM hastened to add that it was an “extreme perversion” of Islam. But still. Islam is now officially on the table. As it should be. And as it should have been at least as far back as 1988. Does no-one remember Salman Rushdie?

For too long we have been unable to talk about Islam for fear of being branded anti-Muslim or Islamophobic. Those days must now be over. We need to talk about Islam. And if the PM is now openly saying that an “extreme perversion of Islam” drove two men to shoot dead 15 Australians in cold blood, then if we will not discuss Islam now, when will we?

Albanese: A Trusted Source on Islamic Theology?

So let me start with the obvious question… is the killing of Jews a perversion of Islam? Or is it consistent with the life of Muhammad, the teachings of Islamic scripture, the curriculum of Islamic education systems, the stated goals of Islamic regimes, and the long and bloody history of Islam itself? If you need more than 30 seconds to work through that, it may be time to relocate from beneath your rock.

Yet, I’m curious… On what basis does the Prime Minster say that the killers were driven, not just by a perversion of Islam but an extreme perversion? Has he suddenly become a scholar of Islamic theology? A historian of Muhammad’s campaigns? A jurist of Sharia? How exactly does Albanese distinguish between “true Islam” and the version that manifested itself in Bondi on Saturday night?

I suspect his sole qualification is desperate hope. But if this was, as he insists, a perversion of Islam, then the next question is unavoidable.

Muslim Community Responsibility

What is the Muslim community now going to do about it? How will mosques be reformed? How will Islamic schools be reformed? How will doctrines that justify murder be confronted — openly, publicly, and relentlessly? If a “perversion of Islam” has resulted in the massacre of 15 Australians, then the responsibility to address that perversion rests squarely with the community from which it arose.

And no, chanting “Islam is a religion of peace” won’t cut it. No one is buying that anymore — not after 1,300 years of evidence to the contrary. There is, undeniably, a small but lethal subset of Muslims in this country who do not believe Islam is a religion of peace. And they didn’t get that idea out of thin air.

Islamic organisations should be acting with urgency to dismantle the beliefs that allow Jews to be murdered “in the service of Allah”. In addition, Islamic leaders should immediately stop the feigned tears every time their religion is criticised, critiqued and called out.

Grow up. People are dead. A forensic team is right now scouring blades of grass in a Bondi park for body parts. So spare me any tears that the real victim here is Islam. How, exactly, is a supposed perversion corrected if discussion itself is forbidden? No more cries of “Islamophobia” when Islam is scrutinised.

If you don’t want your ideology criticised, stop allowing it to be so easily — and so frequently — used to justify murder. That said, I won’t be holding my breath. Because the truth may be far more confronting than the Prime Minister is prepared to entertain.

What if what happened in Bondi was not an extreme perversion of Islam? What if it was, in fact, a faithful expression of Islam as taught by Muhammad, recorded in its scriptures, and practiced throughout its history? What then? That is the question our leaders dare not ask — because answering it would require a level of moral clarity and intestinal fortitude that modern Western politics simply does not possess.

WHY WOKE RIGHT IS WINNING GEN Z

Posted on by

Older generations need to understand something uncomfortable: America’s youngest adults are not only trending in a new political direction — they’re doing so for reasons that most people over 30 haven’t even begun to diagnose. And if we don’t figure out why this is happening, we will not be able to offer any solution. The next generation will pay the price.

In my humble opinion this article is relevant to Australian Gen Z, probably Gen Z in the UK, and many Gen Z in Europe as well.

The article isn’t a justification for Gen Z’s political trajectory, nor is it an endorsement. Think of it as reconnaissance. This is a trip into the mindset of a generation that feels betrayed — and into the ideologues who have successfully captured that frustration and weaponized it. The enemy isn’t Gen Z. The enemy is the movement that has taken advantage of them.

This isn’t an exhaustive list of every factor, but these are the major ones driving the rise of the so-called “woke right.”

First, where is Gen Z actually going?

On the surface, Gen Z looks like it’s drifting “right.” Polling suggests they’re more skeptical of progressive nonsense than Millennials were at their age (particularly young men). Online, they share Bible verses, post Crusader memes, and roast Left-wing ideas with the confidence of people twice their age.

But don’t confuse right-wing aesthetic with conservatism.

And don’t confuse Christian branding with Christian belief.

For many, “Christian” and “right-wing” have become the new version of counterculture rebellion — the same way sex, drugs, and rock & roll defined the 1960s. This is Christianity as attitude, not faith. A thin veneer of religiosity, not repentance. A “screw you” to the system, not submission to Christ.

That’s why you see far more enthusiasm for medieval Crusader imagery, “Bronze Age” masculinity, and authoritarian strongmen like Franco — and even, disturbingly, Hitler — than for evangelism, missions, family, marriage, or serving the lost. Christianity is a tool. Conservatism is a costume.

And now many are abandoning even the word “conservative,” opting for labels like “post-liberal,” “monarchist,” or outright “fascist.”

So no, Gen Z isn’t becoming more conservative. They’re becoming more reactionary, more aesthetic-driven, and more radical.

The question is: Why?

Why Gen Z is heading this direction. Deep political failure and economic pain

Gen Z believes — accurately — that the political class has failed them. They’ve grown up in an era marked by:

  • Skyrocketing inflation.
  • Crushing national debt
  • Wages that can’t compete with housing prices.
  • Student loans that feel like lifetime shackles.
  • Corruption and insider enrichment in both parties.
  • Broken schools and ideological indoctrination.
  • Pharmaceutical scandals.
  • Gas, food, and healthcare costs that rise faster than paychecks.

And while all this unfolds, what do they see? Congress happily voting to send billions overseas while Americans can’t buy a starter home. They see veterans homeless on the streets while millions of illegal migrants are welcomed into cities with little demand to assimilate, and with an undeniable share committing violent crimes. They see crime increasing, prosecutors refusing to prosecute, and cities decaying. Their frustrations aren’t imagined. They’re lived realities. And Republicans — especially the “old guard” — have offered little more than sternly worded letters and fundraising emails.

Gen Z feels abandoned. Resentment fills the vacuum.

2. Censorship and information control

Every major platform — Meta, YouTube, Twitter (before Musk), TikTok — has censored legitimate information. COVID policies. Transgender ideology. BLM. Election debates. Border statistics. The message to Gen Z was loud and clear: You will not be allowed to speak the truth. Isaiah’s ancient warning suddenly felt prophetic: “Truth has stumbled in the public square.” When truth gets outlawed, radicals flourish. Because radicals promise what institutions no longer provide: unfiltered speech and an outlet for anger.

3. A Generation that feels unheard and unprotected

Gen Z, especially young men, feel like their future has been stolen. Women are trending further left than ever and are being ushered into institutions. Young men, meanwhile, are being pushed out — academically, economically, and culturally. Even dating is becoming an impossible burden for young men in the wake of this newfound normal. Everything they see older generations enjoying en masse seems unattainable. 

The result? A desire not for reform, but for revolution.

And into this chaos walk the agitators: Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, Mamdani (a leftwing mirror image of what Fuentes represents on the right), and others who offer a simple scapegoat for complicated problems.

They tell young men: “It’s the Jews.” “Everything is a lie.” “We need a New Founding.” And the hurting, angry young men — desperate for someone to blame — listen. Nuance (truth in the details) is dead in the streets. Truthfulness is irrelevant. Someone has finally given them a target. But here’s the reality: Blaming a racial group is the same strategy used by the radical left — the very strategy that boxed young white men out of American institutions under critical race theory. Replicating the same racial grievance politics isn’t a solution. It’s a mirror image of the disease.

The hard truth: Reality requires more of you

Gen Z is being sold a victim narrative because grievance is always easier than responsibility. Grievance lets you rage. Reality forces you to grow. Grievance says: “It’s all someone else’s fault.” Reality says: “Clean up your room first.” (As Jordan Peterson put it.) The solution isn’t in racial blame or authoritarian fantasies.

The solution is in maturity, discipline, truth, and long-term thinking — not instant emotional gratification packaged as ideology. And yes, that’s a hard sell. But it’s a worthwhile, fulfilling, and the only path out of this mess. Grievance is easy. Reality is hard. But reality is the only thing that actually fixes the world.

What we are witnessing is one of the end times signs that Jesus told us we would see in the time before He returns to restore righteousness. Because Gen Z are questioning everything it is an opportunity to share the Gospel with them and as I have posted previously, if we do, we will see many come to know God and their Lord Jesus Christ.

THE GOSPEL IS THE ANSWER TO THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS

Posted on by

Dr. James Tour interviews author and social critic Os Guinness about his book, American Agonistes –America’s 250th and the Restoration of a Nation in Conflict with Itself and Its Past (agonistes – a person engaged in a struggle).

Tour and Guinness explore the Jewish and biblical roots of American freedom, covenantal self-government, and the gospel as the true foundation of liberty. They contrast biblical freedom with secular ideologies, warn about America’s current polarization and dependence on the state, and call for repentance, renewal, and a return to Scripture as the nation nears its 250th anniversary.

The gospel transforms lives. Release from the burden of sin is liberating.

These two men do a great job of explaining how the Gospel is the answer to the world’s problems. If we return to the Lord, He will return to us and liberate us. When you get right down to it, the only thing that really matters is Jesus: “Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” John 17:3

A mid-December weekend punctuated with mass shootings reminds us that a world plagued by sin is a world plunged in darkness. Worldly solutions focus on human action and therefore offer no hope for eradicating the evil afflicting the world. Yet this Advent season reminds Christians that true hope is found in Jesus, the one who is light, who came to earth on a divine rescue mission, whose birth first established the meaning and the significance of Christmas.

GROK 4 ON THE RAPTURE

Posted on by

QUESTION FOR GROK 4: What Scriptures show Jesus coming on the clouds to rapture the Saints , the dead arise first and then those alive are taken up?

GROK 4 ANSWER:

The primary Scripture that describes Jesus descending, believers being caught up (raptured) in the clouds to meet Him, and the dead in Christ rising first followed by those who are alive is 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NIV):

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”

This passage directly matches the sequence you described: the dead saints are resurrected first, then living believers are taken up (“caught up” is the Greek harpazō, from which the term “rapture” derives), and this meeting occurs in the clouds.

A supporting passage that describes the instantaneous transformation and resurrection at a trumpet sound (often linked to the same event) is

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (NIV):

Scriptures describing Jesus coming on/with the clouds (often associated with His return, though interpretations vary on whether this is the same event as the rapture or the later visible Second Coming) include:

  • “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.” Matthew 24:30 (NIV)
  • “Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all peoples on earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.“ Revelation 1:7 (NIV)

Note that biblical interpretations differ: some see 1 Thessalonians 4 as a distinct “rapture” event where believers meet the Lord in the air, while others connect the clouds imagery across these passages to one visible return. The core description of the resurrection order and gathering in the clouds is clearest in 1 Thessalonians 4.

MY RESPONSE: Thanks Grok you have done a creditable job with all of the rapture Scriptures.

GROK’S RESPONSE: You’re very welcome! I’m glad the verses were helpful to you. If you have any more questions about the rapture, the Second Coming, or any other Scriptures, feel free to ask. I’d be happy to dig deeper or clarify anything. Blessings! 🙏

CHILE REJECTS SOCIALISM: CONSERVATIVE CATHOLIC ELECTED PRESIDENT IN LANDSLIDE WIN

Posted on by

Pro life, Catholic José Antonio Kast just won 58% of the vote in Chile’s national elections. That’s a big boon for Latin America and the dissident right. Kast’s victory kicks out the governing Communist Party led by career leftist Jeannette Jara. Kast’s win is also a rejection of mass immigration, open borders, and the Marxian woke hijacking of life, livelihoods, law, and order.

A possible explanation for the major voter shift is Kast’s Partido Republicano (PR) Party’s firm commitments to faith, family, and freedom. In this sense, PR’s win was powered by the fresh optimism offered by MAGA-level patriotism. PR is “the force of change,” their website states, with further campaign slogans presenting themselves as a clear rebuke of globalism. For instance, ‘diversity is our strength’ is replaced with “together we are strong,” and “together we are change.” Instead of “Defund the Police,” PR promises to “defeat organised crime.” Likewise, the Open Borders doctrine is implicitly rejected by Kast’s additional promise to “restore security and economic progress.” This coincides with an implied no to mass immigration. “We are here to build greatness: A strong country, a safe country, a better country for all. To rebuild the pride of being Chilean.”

Nuclear Family Upheld

Other sections of PR’s website communicate a sound appreciation for constitutional democracy and protecting Western Christian traditions. Such as defending the nuclear family. Listed as number 3 in PR’s 17 core principles is a refreshingly strong affirmation of traditional marriage. Signalling a departure from LGBTQ+ism, PR’s policy is emphatically pro-family. “The family unit is founded on marriage between a man and a woman,” PR declared. “Therefore, we believe that, based on this family ideal, children have the right to a father and a mother.” “Society must,” PR’s principles page added, “make every effort to create the conditions for the exercise of this right.”

Media Meltdown

Much of this explains legacy media’s apparent narrative manipulation, which seems to distort the Overton Window. Almost every major outlet appears to have intentionally mislabelled PR and Kast with the pejorative prefix ‘far-right’. Far from far-right extremism, the party offers explicit support for “social justice.” Even with PR’s caveat against the welfare state, this is still a salute to the forced redistribution of wealth. For example, Principle 7 declares “that one of the most relevant elements of the common good is social justice.” We believe, PR stated, in “the virtue of giving each person what is due to them, based on guaranteeing everyone the greatest possible dignity.” This means ending “serious disadvantage,” and “making Chile a country free of all poverty and the evils associated with it.”

Election Result Welcomed

Those not mourning the election of Kast and his life, liberty and limited government Republicans included Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. She shared her thoughts and congratulations with the 59-year-old Catholic, and father of nine, in an X post. Meloni indicated that she was looking forward to “stronger ties between their two nations.” Beginning with “economic cooperation and the fight against irregular immigration.”

Argentina’s Javier Milei was slightly more enthusiastic. According to the Buenos Aires Herald, the Libertarian leader described Kast’s Make Chile Great Again victory as a “crushing triumph.” Naming a chief reason for Latin Americans to cheer with joy, he exclaimed, the “Left is receding, freedom is advancing!” “I am sure we will work together so that the Americas can embrace the ideas of freedom and liberate ourselves from the 21st-century socialist yoke.”

It appears that going into Jesus Millennial Kingdom there will be some sheep nations with the many goat nations. Hopefully Chile, Italy and Argentina will be among the sheep nations.

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.“ Matthew 25: 31-34

HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE

Posted on by

In these two scriptures, in Romans and Philippians, Paul tells us how to live so that the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, guards your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Philippians 4:4-8

“Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” Romans 4:4-8

This is so important for the time we live in. Jesus told us that we can expect tribulation and then great tribulation prior to Jesus coming first to rescue the Saints before God pours out His wrath upon the unrepentant.

Tribulation and martyrdom ahead for Christians

“Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them… “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 24:3, 9-12

Sadly, we learn that many will fall away, and the love of many will grow cold when the tribulation comes. Make sure you are not amongst this group who will face the wrath of God.

The rapture happens and the wrath of God is poured out at the trumpet blast at the opening of the seventh seal

“Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Revelation 6:15-17

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Next, Jesus returns with the Saints to rescue Israel at the battle of Armageddon and then initiate His Millennial reign with the glorified Saints. Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net for more on what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth.

YOU CAN KNOW THE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE

Posted on by

A single Bible verse in Revelation reveals the entire Revelation TIMELINE including the timing of the Rapture. Watch this Nelson Walters video to see the most misunderstood and overlooked verse in Revelation that reveals it all. He does a good job of providing the scriptures that reveal the timing of the rapture and the wrath of God.

“for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Revelation 6:17

“and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.” 1 Thessalonians 1:10

These two verses clearly reveals the wrath of God and the rapture come at the end of the sixth seal.

EVIDENCE FOR THE WORLDWIDE FLOOD OF NOAH’S DAY AND A YOUNG EARTH

Posted on by

Hugh Ross is trying to rewrite the biblical account of the flood. In this episode of Answers News, the hosts, Bryan Osborne, Avery Foley, and Dr. Terry Mortenson, share their perspectives on this topic as Bible-believing Christians.

Answers in Genesis is an apologetics (Christianity-defending) ministry dedicated to enabling Christians to defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ effectively.

‘Progressive creationists’ like Dr Hugh Ross,2 who insist on interpreting Genesis in the light of man’s theories like the ‘big bang’, and the supposed ‘proof’ of an old earth (billions of years), insist that those who teach a young earth and literal Genesis 1–11 are the ones putting a stumbling block in the way of scientists and others accepting the Gospel message. However, time and time again, we have found that the opposite is true. Compromising Genesis with man’s ideas from outside of Scripture opens the door to this ‘slippery slide of unbelief’. It becomes a major stumbling block to people being receptive to God’s Word and the Gospel. Unbelievers are generally unimpressed when they see Christians clearly evading the obvious meaning of the beginning of God’s Word.

Your faith will be strengthened by listening to Dr Terry Mortenson defend a young earth by presenting the evidence for Noah’s worldwide flood and the billions of dead things buried all over the world including fossil fuels formed from all the vegetation that was buried.

It is important to remember that Jesus spoke of Noah’s flood when he was telling His disciples about His second coming to earth. He believed that Noah’s flood was worldwide killing all but the eight people on the Ark.

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:36-39

Moreover, many of the things Jesus said would occur at this time have played out already exactly as He said they would. After Jesus return to earth to rescue Israel at the battle of Armageddon, His Millennial Kingdom is next on God’s agenda for planet earth. Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net to prepare to rule and reign with Jesus for the next 1,000 years.

SYRIA UNDER AHMAD ASHARA IS AN ENEMY OF ISRAEL

Posted on by

In the wake of the Assad regime’s fall, Syria’s new president, Ahmad Ashara, is being hailed by some as a statesman including President Trump. However, recent events paint a much darker picture. At a military parade in Damascus, chants of “Khaibar, khaibar, oh Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return” echoed through the streets—a direct call for genocide. This video delves into the disturbing realities of the new Syrian government, exposing the extremist ideology at its core and questioning the narrative of a peaceful transition. This in-depth analysis explores the dire situation facing Syria’s minority communities, including the Alawites, Kurds, and Druze, who are being systematically persecuted and threatened with slaughter. The video examines the geopolitical chess game being played by Turkey and the controversial praise from President Trump, who seems to prioritize a fragile and deceptive “stability” over justice. Is Syria truly on a path to peace, or is it a tinderbox on the verge of a catastrophic explosion? Watch to uncover the unsettling truth about the future of Syria and the Middle East.

What we see unfolding fits Biblical end times prophecies and whilst Syria is not directly mentioned as one of the nations that come up against Israel in end times prophecies, we know God judges Damascus from these Scriptures. Also we know from Scripture Turkey is one of the nations to come against Israel and Turkey is taking a lead role in rebuilding Syria with Ashara.

“Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins… The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the children of Israel, declares the Lord of hosts.“ Isaiah 17:1-3

“For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they have threshed Gilead with threshing sledges of iron. So I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad. I will break the gate-bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven, and him who holds the scepter from Beth-eden; and the people of Syria shall go into exile to Kir,” says the Lord.” Amos 1:3-5

The house of Hazael and the strongholds (or palaces) of Ben-Hadad referenced in this verse (Amos 1:4) were located in the ancient kingdom of Aram-Damascus, cantered on the city of Damascus, which is in modern-day Syria.

It is all leading up to Jesus return to set up His Millennial Kingdom. For more on what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net

CHARLIE KIRK’S MURDER FUELLED RELIGIOUS REVIVAL AMONG YOUNG AMERICANS

Posted on by

Kirk’s Assassination Sparks Spiritual Revival

According to a survey conducted by the Barna Group, nearly one fifth (18%) of American adults reported that they became more spiritually active following Kirk’s assassination, while 5% said that they became more politically active and 6% said that they became both more spiritually and more politically active.

“It is remarkable to see the impact of a widely known public figure, and the fact that tens of millions of Americans were inspired to take action as a result of his death,” said Barna Group CEO David Kinnaman in a statement. “There has also been some discussion about Charlie Kirk’s passing as directly responsible for a surge in church attendance,” he observed.

Charlie Kirk Revival

In comments to The Washington Stand, Joseph Backholm, senior research fellow for Biblical Worldview at Family Research Council, noted, “In recent years, Charlie had emphasised the importance of faith before political activity, and in his death that message landed with those who respected him.” Backholm continued, “I also think there’s an understanding that he was murdered, not because of his political positions, but because he was engaged very directly in a spiritual war. This clearly became about more than politics and an encouraging number of young people are seeing this and they want to engage in the spiritual war that inspires our political wars.”

Nearly half (47%) of Americans, including a majority (71%) of practicing Christians, said that they believe Kirk’s death will continue to have a positive impact on Christianity among younger generations, but survey respondents were less optimistic on other issues. Only about a third (34%) of polled adults said that they believe the ability to have civil political conversations will improve in the years ahead, while a similar share (33%) predicted that the ability to have civil political conversations will continue to deteriorate. Less than 30% said that Kirk’s assassination will foster cooperation between conservatives and liberals, while over a third (35%) anticipated a negative impact. The Barna Group noted that Generation Z “respondents were particularly likely to expect negative impacts on political cooperation (45% negative vs. 29% positive), American politics broadly (46% negative vs 33% positive), and civil discourse (43% negative vs 32% positive).”

“Practicing Christians held markedly different views,” the Barna Group observed. In addition to anticipating a positive impact on Christianity among young Americans, a majority (53%) of practicing Christians said that they expect Kirk’s murder to yield a positive impact on civil political discourse. Nearly half (49%) also expected Kirk’s death would have a positive impact on politics in the US and nearly as many (44%) anticipated a positive impact on the relationship between conservatives and liberals.

“It is a cliché that young people are the leaders of tomorrow because it’s true. We need future leaders who understand what time it is and the spiritual nature of our political conflicts,” Backholm told The Washington Stand. “The first responsibility of Christian adults is to disciple young people in our sphere, particularly those in our homes. Charlie was especially good at reaching young people, but he is by no means the only one capable of doing that, and now we all have to pick up the mantle.”

“Every person is on a unique spiritual journey, so there is no one way to activate people spiritually. And some people aren’t interested in the truth and can’t be activated until hearts are changed,” Backholm cautioned. “But there are always people who are seeking the truth as well, and pointing them to the truth requires us to live lives that demonstrate God’s ways are better while also being able to communicate why rebellion against God’s plan for humanity causes so much pain,” he continued. “Reality will always be on our side because God made the rules; we just need to make sure our words and lives consistently demonstrate the beauty and superiority of God’s plan. If we do, people will be interested.”

Charlie Kirk’s death fits the Biblical end times prophecies that are playing out in our world

“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

We need to make sure we are not amongst the groups “many will fall away” and “the love of many will grow cold“. Instead, we need to keep our focus on the fact that Jesus is returning soon to initiate His Millennial reign with the glorified Saints on this earth. It is interesting that it was only two years ago now that God took my focus to Jesus Millennial Kingdom. I knew little about what is next on God’s agenda for planet earth. God has unfinished business with Israel. Every old testament prophet was shown that their Messiah will rule the nations of the world from a magnificent new Jerusalem.

“Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned and will cleanse them, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel 37:21-23

“You shall be called the priests of the Lord; they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory, you shall boast. Instead of your shame, there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonour, they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore, in their land, they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.” Isaiah 61:6-7

God had me set up the website http://www.millennialkingdom.net to prepare Christians for reigning with Jesus and the glorified Saints with a rod of iron. Why with a rod of iron? The curse is only partially lifted so people are still being born, sin and die. So different from what most Christians have been taught.
