VICTORIA ELEVATING NEW ANTI-VILIFICATION LAWS TO A STATE RELIGION OPPOSED TO CHRISTIANITY

Posted on by

The Victorian State government (Australia) wants to expand its anti-vilification legislation to include a laundry list of additional attributes, including disability, gender identity, sexual characteristics, and sexual orientation. If such an expansion is passed, it will become illegal in Victoria to offend people who are disabled, trans, non-binary, or “sexually diverse”. Maximum prison sentences will be up to three to five years.

The legal thresholds for what constitutes vilification will be lowered. Currently, one must “incite hatred” to breach the law. Under the proposed changes, however, speech that is “likely to incite” will become a criminal offence. Under such a standard, almost all speech referring to those with protected attributes – regardless of intent or context – could be deemed criminal. This means journalists, writers, comedians, academics, artists and activists will all be open to prosecution.

This new orthodoxy operates on multiple levels. First, it holds that speech inflicts harm equivalent to physical violence, which means stringent controls must be placed on expression. Second, it establishes a hierarchy of moral authority based on perceived victimhood, where some voices are deemed more virtuous than others. Third, it promotes a series of dogmas about identity, privilege, and systemic oppression that brook no dissent. This means debate is off the table.

Melbourne’s beloved Midsumma Festival, which takes place from January 19 through February 9, 2020—during Australia’s summer—draws tens of thousands of participants from the Melbourne metro area, all over Australia, and, increasingly, throughout the world. The city’s Gay Business Association started the festival in 1988 to celebrate the Melbourne queer community’s arts and culture.

Like any religion, this belief system has its own heresies. Questioning the concept of gender fluidity, expressing concern about biological males in women’s sports, or suggesting that factors other than discrimination might contribute to disparities between groups – all these become dangerous utterances, potentially worthy of legal sanction.

Just as heretics once faced inquisitions for challenging church doctrine, today’s dissenters risk social ostracism, professional ruin, and potentially legal consequences for transgressing this new moral code. Victoria’s shift represents a fundamental reimagining of the role of government in a liberal democracy. Rather than serving as a neutral arbiter, protecting the rights of citizens who have equality before the law, the state is now becoming the enforcer of a particular worldview. It’s a vision where the government not only dictates what citizens can say, but what they must believe.

This will just intensify the persecution of Christians which fulfils one of the many Biblical prophesied end-times signs. It will also ensure Australia comes under the escalating judgement of God.

“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. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:9-13

IMPRISONED PRO-LIFER URGES AMERICANS TO VOTE AGAINST ‘JEZEBEL SPIRIT’

Posted on by

A pro-life activist reporting to prison for her engagement in an abortion clinic blockade is encouraging Americans to “elect leaders who will stand for justice” and “be the beaming light that you were called to be” as she vows to “preach that Gospel” during her incarceration. She says, ” You cannot let Kamala win”.

Bevelyn Beatty Williams was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for standing at the entrance of a New York City abortion clinic in November 2020, in what the United States Department of Justice characterized as a violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, announced in an X post-Tuesday that she was reporting to prison Wednesday. 

Williams is now serving time in prison following an unsuccessful effort to overturn her conviction under the law, which subjects anyone who attempts to interfere with abortions services to federal charges.  

Williams pointed to Kamala Harris’ career as a prosecutor as evidence that she “gets joy” out of prosecuting her political opponents. She also cited her conviction as a project of “a feminist movement” and “a Jezebel spirit in a lot of these women in power,” referring to the President Joe Biden-appointed Judge Jennifer Rochon, who sentenced her. 

Williams told followers that, even though Rochon was “so harsh” at sentencing and treated her “so badly,” she “prayed for her” and was “still praying for her.” She reiterated her claim that the judge “represents every woman that just shouldn’t be in power” because she used “bias and emotion” in her judicial decision.  

“She was ruthless with me,” Williams asserted. Williams summarized Rochon’s message as, “I think you’re a danger to the streets” and a “danger to society.” She characterized her conviction as part of a broader effort by progressive politicians to put “people that they don’t like politically in prison.” 

END TIMES SIGNS: What is playing out here in the USA and in my previous post of a Pro-Life activist in the UK, are Biblical prophesied end times signs. Fortunately, God told us this would happen in the end times. In fact, tribulation will get worse when the Antichrist comes on the scene. Israel and Jerusalem are at the centre of Biblical end times prophecies and a major invasion of Israel is imminent.

SIGN OF THE ANTICHRIST: AMERICA’S FUTURE IS IN THE BALANCE

Jonathan Cahn reveals Antichrist spirit at Kamala Harris rally. The Lordship of Christ; King Jesus is not welcome at the Democrat rally. In fact Jesus was mocked. The two young men who acknowledged Jesus as Lord and King were quickly escorted from the building. Kamala even told them that their rally was the smaller one, the Trump rally down the road.

THE CELESTIAL SIGNS OF REVELATION 12

Posted on by

Did God give us star signs to mark the major events in the Book of Revelation? The incredible answer is YES, He did. And because of computerized astronomical software that simulates the movement of the night skies, we can now know the exact timing of those signs. How do we know what signs to look for? God described the signs in Revelation. So in this Nelson Walters video, he explains in detail, the four signs as God described them, the unique fulfillments in the future, and the dates that each star sign will happen. And, it so happens, they all occur on Feasts of the Lord, God’s prophetic calendar. The prophetic significance of all the Feasts is known as the first four were fulfilled with Jesus first coming to Earth. The last three will be fulfilled with Jesus’ second coming.

REMEMBER GOD APPOINTS LEADERS OF NATIONS

Posted on by

With the American presidential election imminent Christians must remember that God appoints leaders for His purposes. The bible records for us how God used the leaders of the most powerful nations: Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of the Babylonian Empire 600 years before Christ. He received a vision from God. Why?

“in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men. gives it to whomever He will, and sets over it the lowest of men” Daniel 4:17

The Bib;le clearly shows that God will place terrible leaders in positions of great power for the explicit purpose of fulfilling His plans. This was certainly true of the pharoah of the Exodus, whose heart God hardened time, after time. God had Moses tell Pharoah:

“Indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” Exodus 9:16

One of the most convincing proofs that the Bible is the inspired word of God is fulfilled prophecy. God inspired the prophet Isaiah to announce 150 years in advance the rise to power of Cyrus the Great to fulfill His purpose to bring God’s people back to their land after 70 years in exile for their rebellion and not keeping 70 Shemitah’s. 2 Chronicles 36:21 says, “The land enjoyed its sabbath rests; all the time of its desolation it rested, until the seventy years were completed in fulfillment of the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah.”

“Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped, to subdue nations before him and to loose the belts of kings, to open doors before him that gates may not be closed: “I will go before you and level the exalted places, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron, I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, who call you by your name. For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I name you, though you do not know me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things.” Isaiah 45:1-7

Know that whoever is elected, it is God’s choice for this season: if Trump, maybe a short repreive from escalating judgement; if Harris it will be escalating judgement.

CHRISTIANITY IS SURGING IN IRAN

Posted on by

As the conflict between Israel and Iran’s terrorist proxy group Hezbollah in Lebanon widens, reports continue to surface of a growing division between the Iranian people and the Islamist regime of Ali Khamenei. Even as anti-Israel and anti-America protests get most of the attention in Iran, a burgeoning Christian movement is occurring under the surface, an expert on Iranian Christians says.

In Iran, Christianity is intensely persecuted, except small historical Armenian and Assyrian communities. Conversion from Islam to Christianity is considered apostasy and can be punished with death. Still, some reports suggest that conversions to Christianity and support for democracy are on the rise, with as many as 80% of Iranian citizens anonymously supporting a democratic government. In addition, some outlets have reported that hundreds of mosques have closed due to the rising number of Iranians leaving Islam.

Hormoz Shariat is the president of Iran Alive Ministries. It broadcasts the gospel message via satellite TV programs in the Farsi language in predominantly Muslim countries like Iran, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. On Monday, he joined “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” to discuss how an increasing number of Iranians do not support the Islamist regime’s attacks on Israel and are converting to Christianity.

“[Iranians] have experienced Islam and Islamic rule firsthand for over 40 years,” he noted. “And they’ve come to the conclusion, if the problem is not just the government, the problem is Islam itself. That’s why we see a high number of Iranian Muslims come to Christ because they have not just rejected the government, they have rejected Islam. There is such a gap … between the government and the people. So when the government puts on these rallies saying, ‘Death to Israel, death to America,’ the people of Iran say, ‘We love Israel, we love America.’ And that’s the trend.”

Shariat also pointed out that there were also many Iranian Americans who came out in support of Israel after the October 7 Hamas attack.

“We know that the media covered … the pro-Palestine, pro-Hamas demonstrations in America,” he noted. “You saw it everywhere. You saw it on campuses. You saw it on the street. You saw it in Washington, D.C. But you did not see all the Iranians who came on the streets even in America, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and San Diego, everywhere. Iranians came out pro-Israel. Not even one Iranian rally was pro-Palestine, and the media did not cover that. Iranians are pro-Israel.”

Shariat further described how his ministry has spread. “[W]e … have a 24/7 satellite broadcast going over the heads of the mullahs — they cannot stop the signal from the sky. We go into people’s homes, millions of homes. [A]n independent survey [found] that we have seven million viewers daily. So we go into people’s homes, tell them about God’s love, and guess what? They are ready. Iranians are rejecting Islam. They’re ready for the message of the gospel.”

According to Shariat, a spiritual awakening is currently occurring in Iran. “It’s a move of God, and God uses suffering, and Iranians have suffered for 40-some years. … So there is an openness among Iranians. … God has used [suffering] to open their minds, open their eyes towards Islam. They … have rejected Islam [but] not [out] of emotion and [not from making an] overnight decision.”

Shariat asked for continued prayers for his ministry and Christians in Iran.

TRUE COMPARISON OF WHAT IS ON OFFER THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Posted on by

I suggest you watch this video by Mario Murillo as he discusses the coming election and the likely outcome with Todd Coconato. It seems to me that Trump will be the winner. If he does, it will be a reprieve, but he will not turn the nation back to God, what is needed is a God-initiated revival. America is absent from end-times Biblical prophecy and I believe it is destined for further judgement by God.

In Mario Murillo’s video, he shows several videos including one with Elon Musk and Trump discussing education. They are powerful. They also do a great job of showing the incompetence of the Biden/Harris government, particularly on the border crisis. If Kamala is elected America will not survive. The choice is that stark. Democrats are totally anti-God.

Someone at YouTube did not like this video and posted an ad over the last three minutes of it.

KAMALA DOES NOT STAND A CHANCE OF WINNING

Posted on by

When you watch these ads which are based on Kamala Harris speaking the words that will ensure she loses the election you will see why I say she does not have a chance of winning. The Democrats made a fatal mistake when they decided to run with Joe Biden. When Joe Biden revealed the state of his mental decline in the debate, the Democrats had no choice but to replace him. Running out of time until the election and therefore time to promote a new candidate, the VP, Kamal Harris must have seemed to be the best option. No one could have foreseen how she would dig her own grave.

For Christians, Trump is the best of the two options but Trump won’t make America more powerful or more great again. Trump needs to tell the American people that unless they get on their knees and repent of their abominable sins, of which abortion is horrific, God will not stop the judgement that is already being unleashed on the land.

One thing is for sure, China and Russia won’t like Trump winning and may choose to strike sooner while it is still weak and dealing with an immense border crisis. We know from Biblical end-times prophecy that the Antichrist and his false prophet will rule the world for a short period before Jesus returns to destroy them and the army they assemble for the battle of Armageddon. The recent UN Pact for the Future is a further step toward a one-world government.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUTH AND THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

Posted on by

Possessing no absolute or true existence of its own, evil is, by nature, parasitic. Being not of the created order, it can exist only by drawing its existence from that order. Evil must use the good. And so though good can exist without evil, evil cannot exist without good.

Truth can exist without falsehood, but falsehood cannot exist without truth.

Laws can exist without crimes, marriage without adultery, and life without murder. But crimes cannot exist without laws, adultery without marriage, and murder exist without life. Destruction requires structure, immorality requires morality, and sin requires the holy.

The good is primary. Evil is the parasitic inversion of the good. And so the existence of evil inadvertently testifies not against the existence of the good—but for it. It bears witness, unwillingly, to the existence of the good—the existence of God.

If evil is uncreated, how did it come to exist? God did not create evil, but He did create personhood, consciousness, and volition—free will. Free will is a necessity. If one does what is good because one has no choice in doing so, then it is not good. The good must be freely chosen and thus requires free will. And therein is the risk. To allow the choosing of good, one must allow the choosing of its opposite. And the opposite of good is evil. It is the allowance and risk of the good that allow for the risk of evil.

Evil requires personhood, will, consciousness, and volition.

Therefore, when looking for the source of evil we are looking in the direction of personhood, toward a conscious entity. It must be a created being that by its volition turned against the created order, against existence itself, a being that became an anti-being, an inversion. And this is exactly what the Scriptures reveal. There are two entities with the ability to choose good or evil: one, human, and the other, angelic. Since evil is spiritual and beyond flesh and blood, its origin must be found beyond flesh and blood, beyond the human, in the realm of the spiritual and the angelic. And in that realm, we see it, the entity that fulfills all the prerequisites—consciousness, volition, free will, and inversion and yet not of flesh and blood—an angelic being that turned against the fabric of the created order and against existence itself. In his inversion, he became the anti-being, the parasitic inversion of the good, the nemesis of reality. He became the one who should not exist and yet does. He became the Devil.

“How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’” Isaiah 14:12-14

This information is in Jonathan Cahn’s new book The Dragons Prophecy: Israel, the Dark Resurrection, and the End of Days‘. God is using Jonathan mightily as a prophet to America, but we can learn from him as well.

THE STARK DIFFERENCE: HARRIS AND WALZ VERSUS TRUMP AND VANCE

Posted on by

At a Kamala Harris rally at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse last Thursday. As she delved into a monologue castigating pro-life protections for the unborn, two university students declared, “Christ is King!” and “Jesus is Lord!”

Kamala responded: “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally,”

Sadly, the liberal university crowd shared Harris’s disrespect for Christians and, allegedly, for Christ. The New York Post reports:

“I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked, and that’s the biggest thing for me personally,” Beth said. “In reflection of the event, Jesus was mocked. You know, [H]is disciples were mocked, and that’s OK.”

One candidate signaled that the Name of Jesus Christ — the Name at which every knee shall bow and every tongue confess His eternal lordship — is unwelcome speech at any of Kamala Harris rallies.

Contrast that scene with a rally Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance held in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Sunday. During a lull in his speech, someone in the audience cheered, “Jesus is king!”

Vance responded: “That’s right. Jesus is king,” and the Republican crowd erupted in approval.

J.D. Vance rhetorically affirmed, not merely empty praise for Jesus, but the notion that God’s sovereignty supersedes even his own. The phrase “Jesus is King!” recognizes the view that government, and those to whom it is temporarily entrusted, are subordinate to the will of God. Their will is circumscribed by the rights, priorities, privileges, and kingdom rights of Christ the King.

The 79th Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner benefiting women and children in need took place on October 17, 2024, at the New York Hilton Midtown, 1335 Avenue of Americas. The event was hosted by His Eminence Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York. Both Trump and Harris were to attend but Harris was absent as was her running mate, Walz. Instead, Harris sent a video.

Since its first dinner in 1946, The Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner has raised millions of dollars for New York’s most vulnerable women and children. The Dinner has featured renowned cultural, business, and political figures, including most major party presidential nominees during election years since 1960.

Trump managed to come across as the more humble candidate. At one point, he declined to tell any self-deprecating jokes, saying, “I guess I just don’t see the point of taking shots at myself when other people have been shooting at me.” But he actually began with a self-effacing quip: “These days, it’s really a pleasure [to be] anywhere in New York without a subpoena for my appearance.” And he humbly admitted, “I went overboard” in attacking Hillary Clinton during his remarks at the 2016 event. 

Kamala Harris broke with tradition to send in a video featuring “Saturday Night Live” alumna Molly Shannon as Mary Katherine Gallagher. Shannon gave a laughless, identity-focused monologue about the importance of electing a woman because women are smarter than men. She closed by calling the incumbent vice president “Momala,” as Drew Barrymore did recently. Secular leftists are looking for a matriarch. Christians bask in the love of the Father and seek no substitute. But, perhaps her video message to the dinner summed up the contrast best. At one point, she lectured Molly Shannon, “You should never let anyone tell you who you are: You tell them who you are.”

Trump offered a second moment in the speech worth remembering. Highlighting the Democratic Party’s increasingly strident anti-Catholic record, Trump quipped, “Instead of attending tonight, she’s in Michigan receiving Communion from Gretchen Whitmer.” (Trump also joked that Governor Tim “Walz isn’t here himself, but don’t worry, he’ll say that he was.” That is, of course, a reference to Walz’s erroneous claims that he served in battle and had been in the Far East during the Tiananmen Square massacre, which Walz explained away by saying “my grammar’s not always correct” and calling himself a “knucklehead”.

America is already under God’s judgement. It was in 2011 when Jonathan Cahn warned the USA about the nine harbingers that God had already sent to the nation. It did not respond and America has further ejected God from all aspects of its life. Will God give America a reprieve if Donald Trump is elected?

The institutions of faith, family, and freedom are still under desperate siege, without revival, America is destined for more judgement. It will only escalate and a level 10 earthquake on the San Andreas fault line is a distinct possibility soon.
