THE WAR ON COMMON SENSE

The War on Common Sense Reaches the Maternity Ward: SA Upper House Passes Birth Certificate Amendment

The South Australian Parliament is set to debate a private members bill that — if passed — will allow a biological man who identifies as a woman to record himself as the “mother” on the child’s birth certificate.

Like me, you’ve had a gutful of ideology overriding common sense in this country. Especially when it comes to sex. Or gender. Or whatever word we’re allowed to use this week for the fairly straightforward question of what a male is and what a female is. But if you’re exhausted by it, don’t expect relief from the political class just yet.

The South Australian Parliament is set to debate a private members bill that — if passed — will allow trans-identifying parents to alter the parental designation on a child’s birth certificate. In plain English: a biological man who identifies as a woman would be able to record himself as the “mother” of his child on that child’s birth certificate. And a biological woman who identifies as a man could be recorded as the “father”.

The Bill, introduced by Greens MLC Rob Simms, has already passed South Australia’s Legislative Council… with support from Labor. It received virtually no media attention.

Naturally, it was all done in the name of inclusivity… And perhaps it was. The trouble with making inclusivity your highest governing principle is that, eventually, language stops describing anything at all. Simple example… If you say that circles and triangles can be recognised as squares, the term square ceases to have any meaning. In the same way, if the South Australian Parliament decides to let any old man — identifying as a woman — be recorded as “mother”, the term mother ceases to have any meaning. Which is fine… except  birth certificate isn’t a choose your own adventure book.

As the Australian Christian Lobby’s South Australian director Ashlyn Vice pointed out to me this week… “A birth certificate is a legal record that documents the biological realities surrounding a child’s birth and parentage.” Indeed. A birth certificate is supposed to document the child’s birth, not the parent’s state of mind at the time of birth. Every child has a mother and a father. I can’t believe the South Australian Parliament need this explained to them. And the purpose of a birth certificate is to accurately record who provided sperm and who provided egg.

A Child’s Birth Certificate… Is about the Child

You know what’s crazy? If Anthony Albanese is watching me right now, he’ll accuse me of waging a culture war for having said what I’ve just said. I get that a father who identifies as a woman wants to be known as mum, rather than dad. But the birth certificate isn’t actually about him. It’s about the child. The birth certificate is also about truth. Objective fact. If we change that, then we change the nature of birth certificates. They cease to be important documents and instead become… commemorate certificates. Issued not to note the birth of a child, but to note the orientation of an adult for whom the newborn serves as a prop.

The South Australian Liberals have said they’ll vote against the legislation. As they ought. Labor won’t vote for it. Will they? Then again, this is a political party whose federal colleagues describe a broken promise as a change of position. So they quite like turning ordinary words into plasticine when it suits.

Thank goodness this madness will end when Jesus returns to restore righteousness. Based on fulfilled Biblical end times prophecies this is not too far distant. Don’t forget if you want to know more about what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net

AI IS COMPRESSING THE TIMELINE FOR JOB LOSSES

Posted on by

Every previous wave of technological disruption displaced workers over decades. The industrial revolution took a full generation to restructure labor markets. The transition from agriculture to manufacturing played out over 50 years. Even the internet revolution, which moved fast by historical standards, gave workers roughly 15-20 years to adapt.

AI is compressing that timeline to months.

This week as we reported on Moonshots, Anthropic published data showing that more than 80% of the code merged into their codebase is now written by Claude. Their engineers are shipping 8x as much code per quarter as they were two years ago. On the same day, OpenAI’s head of reinforcement learning told an interviewer they’d “turn AI on AI itself” within six months. The models aren’t just doing work faster. They’re learning to do the work of making themselves better.

A 24-year-old graduating this spring with a computer science degree, $150,000 in student debt, and a plan to become a software engineer is walking into a labor market where AI can already do 76% of open-ended coding tasks successfully, up from 26% just six months ago. That number is not going down.

And software engineering is the canary. Legal research, financial analysis, medical diagnostics, content creation, customer support, consulting, translation, accounting: the list of knowledge-work categories where AI performs at or above entry-level human capability is growing every quarter.

The people this hits first and hardest are not manual laborers. They’re the exact demographic that has driven every revolution in modern history: educated young people who did everything they were told, took on debt to get degrees, and are now discovering that the economy has no use for them.

THE MISSING SAFETY VALVES

Previous generations had escape routes. In 19th-century Europe, disenfranchised young men could emigrate to the Americas. In post-Civil War America, they could go west. In the mid-20th century, expanding government and military provided employment floors. None of those valves exist at the same scale today.

There’s no frontier to absorb millions of displaced knowledge workers. With drones military forces will shrink, not grow. Government employment is contracting in most Western democracies. And the gig economy which once served as a buffer, is itself being automated. (The Gig economy is where a person or business is contracted to complete task-based work for another business or person. Transactions usually happen through a mobile application or website).

Historically, the other safety valve was family formation. Young men with jobs get married, have children, buy homes, and acquire stakes in social stability. Young men without jobs don’t. In every revolution I’ve cited, the inability of young men to marry and start families was a compounding accelerator of rage. Marriage rates in the US for men under 30 are already at historic lows. AI-driven job displacement will push them lower.

One more factor that has no historical precedent: this generation of potentially disenfranchised young men is the most networked in human history. The Arab Spring proved that social media enables radicalization and coordination faster than any government can respond. The tools available now make 2011-era Twitter look primitive.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT AND WHY I’M STILL CONCERNED

The optimist’s case, is that AI will create new jobs faster than it destroys old ones. That has been true of every previous technological revolution. The automobile eliminated horse-related jobs and created millions of new ones. Self driving cars and trucks will decimate jobs. The internet destroyed retail jobs and created the entire digital economy.

AI will generate new categories of work we can’t yet imagine. But the timing matters enormously. If the destruction comes in 2-3 years and the creation takes 10-15, you have a decade-long window where tens of millions of young people in developed economies have no economic pathway. A decade is more than enough time for the pattern to repeat.

Jack Goldstone’s research shows that revolutionary conditions require three elements arriving simultaneously: elite overproduction (too many educated people for too few positions), fiscal crisis (governments unable to fund social programs), and mass mobilization potential (large cohorts of idle young people with the tools to organize). AI could deliver all three within the same compressed timeframe.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO ABOUT IT

This is not a prediction of inevitability. It’s a risk assessment. And the response needs to be proportional to the risk.

First, we need to radically restructure education. Four-year degrees that cost six figures and train people for jobs that AI can do are worse than useless. They’re incendiary. Education needs to move toward human skills that complement AI: judgment, leadership, creativity, physical-world expertise, and entrepreneurship.

Second, we need to accelerate new job creation, not just wait for it to emerge organically. Government policy, corporate investment, and entrepreneurial energy should be directed at identifying and scaling the new categories of work that AI enables, not just the AI itself.

Third, we need honest public conversation about timelines – there is NOT enough public discourse going on regarding this potential outcome. The worst possible outcome is to tell a generation of young people that everything will be fine, hand them diplomas they borrowed $150,000 to earn, and let them discover the truth on their own. That’s how you get revolutions.

The pattern is clear. The demographics are in place. The technology is accelerating. The question is whether we’re smart enough to learn from 400 years of history, or whether we repeat it. Because the change is happening so quickly it is unlikely unbelieving governments will do what is necessary for its people. The Bible reveals where we are in God’s history, as prophesied the world is casting off God and His commandments and persecution of Christians is increasing.

Fortunately, God is still in control and we know Jesus returns to restore righteousness but before He does, God has told us that lawlessness will increase and a time of tribulation will exist for those that love God and choose to keep His commandments.

“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
“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 24:7-12

Fortunately, Jesus continues with: “But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:13-14

We know from Revelation that in the “last days” God not only sends two witnesses from heaven to be His witnesses on Earth, but He also sends three angels with the following messages:

ANGEL 1. “And he said with a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” Revelation 14:7

ANGEL 2. ” Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality.” Revelation 14:8

ANGEL 3. “And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.” Revelation 14:9-10

ARE FALLEN ANGELS, DEMONS CONNECTED TO UFOs?

Posted on by


What do UFOs and UAPs have to do with the ancient false gods of the Bible? In this deep-dive episode of ISOW Insights, host Matthew Foley explores the startling parallels between modern unidentified aerial phenomena and the spiritual principalities worshipped in the Ancient Near East.

Drawing from biblical theology, the works of Dr. Michael Heiser, and the history of ancient empires like Babylon and Sumeria, he uncovers how ancient deceptions are repackaging themselves for a modern, post-Christian world. From the “Watchers” of Genesis 6 and the Tower of Babel to the “Christus Victor” view of the cross, learn why Christians don’t need to fear these phenomena and how the blood of Jesus has ultimate authority over every principality and power in the air.

WORLD CHAOS IS ESCALATING PAVING THE WAY FOR THE ANTICHRIST

Posted on by

The European Union seized $105 billion in Russian assets and transferred them to Ukraine, thinking it was a masterstroke that would cripple Russia and demonstrate Western resolve. Instead, Russia responded with a three-wave retaliation so devastating that European governments are now quietly panicking:

Russia nationalized $120 billion in European corporate assets, forced all energy sales into rubbles/yuan (rejecting euros entirely), and created a $150 billion BRICS+ Reserve Fund that provides seizure-proof custody for countries terrified of Western financial weaponization. The result: massive capital flight from European assets, euro depreciation, rising borrowing costs for EU governments, and the accelerated collapse of the euro’s reserve currency credibility.

China emerged as the massive winner, offering financial alternatives that dozens of countries are now rushing to adopt, while European companies lost everything they built in Russia over decades. This wasn’t strategic brilliance—this was Europe destroying its own financial credibility for a short-term political win, and Russia just taught them a lesson in economic warfare they’ll never forget.

Germany lost out big time: Russia took over BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes facilities worth billions.

This isn’t just about Ukraine funding – this is the moment when weaponized finance started consuming itself. The mechanics of this financial warfare are broken down, the doom loop it’s created, and why every central bank in the world is now questioning whether Western financial institutions are safe. The age of consequence-free asset seizure just ended.

As well, when the Bundesbank’s 2013 audit was analysed, it revealed a terrifying truth: for decades, Germany had never physically verified the 1,536 tons of gold it stored in New York. When Germany asked for 300 tons back in 2013 the Fed stalled for seven years. Now Germany is asking for the balance, 1236 tons, and it is obvious that the USA does not have the physical gold so what will be the outcome?

The chaos in the world just escalated enormously paving the way for the Biblical prophesied world leader who will promise peace.

DR MICHAEL WEISS OF ZION HOPE MINISTRIES ON PREWRATH RAPTURE

Posted on by


Dr. Michael Weis uses five main texts (Daniel 9:24-27, Matthew 24:15-31, Joel 2:30-32, 1 Thessalonians 4:13–5:11, Revelation 6:12-17) to systematically build the case for the Pre-Wrath Rapture position, while giving us the tools to explain it to others. Even if you don’t embrace this view, you need to know what those who hold to it believe. Learn how to tell others about the Pre-Wrath Rapture in the Studio Elective, “An Easy Way to Explain the Pre-Wrath Rapture Position.”

As those who follow my blog will know I support the PreWrath rapture position and I am pleasantly surprised now at the number of Biblical scholars that are posting on PreWrath. Dr Weis does a good job of covering all the relevant Scriptures.

CHRIST IS KING

Posted on by

Candace Owens, one of the biggest promoters of “Christ is King,” is simultaneously propping up Andrew Tate — a serial pimp, abuser, and pornographer — while claiming to be anti-pornography. Meanwhile, she’s slapping “Christ is King” on water bottles to sell to her followers. These people aren’t leading a spiritual revival. They’re running a business. The first time she tweeted Christ is King was in November of 2023.

Just like BLM turned righteous anger into a profit machine, these so-called Christian influencers are using faith and political resentment as a marketing gimmick — leveraging Christ’s name, not to glorify Him, but to glorify themselves.

“These people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.” Matthew 15:8

Why this matters

The Church should have learned from the past decade of leftist manipulation. We saw how a movement. Black Lives Matter, used an agreeable phrase to dupe millions into supporting destructive ideas. And yet, many on the Right are falling for the same trap, wrapped in different rhetoric. Satan is the master deceiver.

The phrase “Christ is King” should be a proclamation of genuine faith — not a blasphemous rallying cry for internet grifters, power-hungry opportunists, or those seeking to revive failed, morally bankrupt political models. The Church’s mission is to preach the Gospel, disciple the nations, and proclaim Christ’s rule through spiritual transformation, not force.

We can’t let another movement hijack Christian language to manipulate well-meaning believers. If we don’t learn from the past, we’ll fall for the same deceptions — just repackaged for a different audience.

JONATHAN CAHN SHOWS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BIBLICAL PROPHECIES AND MODERN DAY EVENTS

Posted on by

Another relevant sermon from Jonathan Cahn. God has uniquely graced Jonathan to draw connections between ancient Biblical prophecies and modern-day occurrences, particularly in global political shifts, religious movements, and the rise of anti-Judeo-Christian sentiment. Through a blend of biblical insights, historical references, and personal stories, he urges us to remain vigilant in our faith as end-time events unfold.

PERSECUTION COMES WITH THE TERRITORY

Posted on by

Speaking your beliefs as a Christian now can result in a mixed bag of anger, frustration, hostility, and many people who decide they can “no longer associate” with someone like you.

Some of the beliefs that will trigger these sentiments are as follows:

1. Life begins at conception. Abortion is murder.

2. There are only two genders, and we don’t get to pick between the two.

3. Marriage is designed to be between one man and one woman and sex is confined to husband and wife. Homosexuality is an abomination to God.

4. Children deserve two parents — a mum and a dad — who are there for them.

5. There’s only one true God. There’s only one way to God, and it’s through Jesus Christ.

6. Jesus made it possible for our Heavenly Father to send the Holy Spirit to be our counsellor, teacher, helper, and comforter.

7. With the Holy Spirit and the word of God, we have all we need to live a Christian life. The word of God, being inerrant and infallible, is the source of all that is good, true, and beautiful.

Redemption, for the Christian, is the freedom we have in Christ. But it was not free, for it cost Christ His life.

Isaiah revealed to the Pharisees and the Sadducees, the religious leaders of the day 700 years before Jesus Christ, their Messiah was born that he would die so that their sins could be forgiven and this is not the end of the story read what else God revealed to Isaiah.

“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed... he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people… Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief… For a brief moment I deserted you, but with great compassion I will gather you. In overflowing anger for a moment I hid my face from you, but with everlasting love I will have ompassion on you,” says the Lord, your Redeemer.” Isaiah 53:5-6, 8, 54:7-8

My concern is that just as the religious leaders of Jesus Day did not heed the prophecies of Jesus’ first coming, the religious leaders of our day are not heeding the many prophecies of Jesus’ second coming.

The Fall: Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden for disobeying God and eating from the tree of Good and Evil.

The Bible is full of these beautiful depictions of the reality of our redemption. We are free because Christ restored what was lost in “The Fall” through His death, burial, and resurrection! And so, with all this in mind, we understand what redemption is and can now rightly live out our faith.

Christians must understand how crucial it is to speak the truth in love. We’re called to extend a loving hand to our enemies. We must bring back healthy dialogue with our neighbours, and Christians should lead the charge! We were never meant to be silent or sit back in the face of adversity. Under a hostile government, we can understand the need to stand firm. 

DRAG QUEENS TAKE CENTER STAGE AT PARIS OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY

Posted on by

 The Associated Press report of The Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony: “In an unprecedented display of inclusivity, drag queens took center stage at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, showcasing the vibrant and influential role of the French LGBTQ+ community.

The 2024 Olympics made a mockery of Christianity as drag queens and dancers lined a long table resembling Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper”, which marks the last meal shared with Christ and his disciples.

Le Filip, the recent winner of “Drag Race France,” expressed their positive “surprise” and “pride” at the ceremony’s scale and representation.

“I thought it would be a five-minute drag event with queer representation. I was amazed. It started with Lady Gaga, then we had drag queens, a huge rave, and a fire in the sky,” they said. “It felt like a crowning all over again. I am proud to see my friends and queer people on the world stage.”

In addition to inviting condemnation for mocking one of the most sacred events for Christians, the opening ceremonies featured another prop viewed as a slap in the face to people of faith: a golden calf. As explained in Exodus 32, while the people of Egypt were waiting for Moses to come down from the mountain, they decided to create an idol of a golden calf despite God’s instructions in Exodus 20 not to worship idols.

A fashion show at the ceremony included a scene that resembled a modern re-creation of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting, with French actor Philippe Katerine appearing as the Greek god Dionysus, painted blue and wearing little more than a bunch of flowers covering his modesty. Katerine was reclining on a dinner platter in an attempt to imitate Dionysus, the pagan god of drunkenness and orgies. 

St Peter and Paul’s Catholic Cathedral bishop Andrew Mukukuoi told The Australian the act was a distasteful joke. “I think it was offensive to all Christians around the world,” Father Mukukuoi said.

“It was a mockery because they made a joke of something really important for Christians, the Last Supper was when Christ gave us his body.” “They didn’t mock any other religion but chose to make a joke of Christianity. It was a distasteful thing to watch and whoever commissioned this should be held to account.”

Surely, this will be sufficient evidence to show Christians that we are in the Biblical prophesied end times before Jesus returns to restore righteousness. God will not allow His Son to be mocked. Macron does not realise the extent of the judgment he has unleashed on the nation he governs.
