RELIGIOUS FREEDOM BEING ERODED IN AUSTRALIA

Posted on by

In Australia, religious freedom is being eroded. Whether it’s restrictions on what the Bible teaches about sexuality and gender, employees being fired for expressing biblical views, attempted murder of Christian leaders or firebombing of Christian church buildings — Christianity is under attack in Australia.

Calvary Hospital cross removed

Cross being removed from Calvary Public Hospital in Canberra. It was acquired by the ACT government because it refused to perform abortions.

Religious liberty — the ability to live out our Christian faith in private and public without penalty — is the most fundamental of all human rights.

Human rights exist only because God exists and has made humanity in his image. We’re special, having infinite dignity, value and worth.

That’s why human rights are “inalienable”. They come from God — not human governments. But remove Christianity from society, and the basis for all other human rights is destroyed (see “10 Reasons Our Human Rights Come from Jesus“.)

Christian liberty recognises the right of each individual to “seek God… and find him” (Acts 17:27). Discovering God through his word is life’s most important privilege – an endeavour granted to us by God.

The Bible explicitly links freedom of religion with the gospel. In 2 Timothy 2:1–4, Paul urges prayer for “all those who are in authority”. Why? So that these authorities don’t hinder Christians from living a godly life and sharing the gospel with others. As Paul writes, this “pleases God our Saviour, who wants everyone to be saved”. Religious freedom has eternal consequences.

Also, God judges nations so the more Australia rejects God and His commandments the more likely God will escalate judgement on the nation. One only has to look at how God used drought, famine, plagues, death and destruction to discipline the nation He created for His purposes to realise that God will use those things to judge Australia.

We are fast approaching the time of Jesus Christ return to Earth to restore righteousness and rule and reign with the glorified Saints. This is necessary to fulfil the covenants God made with Abraham. Isaac and Jacob when He set up His nation , Israel to fulfil His purposes. This little nation is the centre of world events with most of the nations surrounding it intent on its destruction just as the Bible says it will be prior to Jesus return to restore righteousness.

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:2-3

These other passages also portray Jerusalem as a spiritual and geopolitical flashpoint in the latter days:

  • Zechariah 14 → The nations gather against Jerusalem.
  • Ezekiel 38–39 → Invasion of Israel in the “latter years.”
  • Joel 3 → Judgment of nations for mistreating Israel.
  • Isaiah 29 → Nations attacking Jerusalem are defeated by God

In the coming Jesus Millennial Kingdom, Israel will be the lead nation in the world. All nations will come up to Jerusalem to worship Jesus Christ as king. To be prepared to rule and reign with Jesus go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net to get all the information and resources you need.

“THE KING RETURNS” — A PROPHETIC STORY FROM SCRIPTURE

Posted on by

1. Israel Reborn

The modern world scarcely noticed when prophecy stirred back to life. In 1948, against all odds, Israel was reborn. From centuries of desolation, exiled people returned to their covenant land — just as the prophet Ezekiel had seen in a vision:

“I will take the children of Israel from among the nations… and bring them into their own land.” (Ezekiel 37:21)

The valley of dry bones rattled and rose. Hebrew again filled the streets of Jerusalem. And in the unseen realm, ancient forces stirred — for Satan knew his time had shortened.

2. The Age of Deception

Decades passed. The nations grew rich, but restless. The church swelled with numbers, yet truth grew thin.
Paul’s warning echoed through the centuries:

“That day will not come unless the falling away comes first.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3)

Love grew cold. The Word of God, once revered, was traded for convenience and compromise. False teachers promised comfort without repentance, prosperity without holiness. Apostasy spread like a shadow across the lands. The coming church of Laodicea: “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16

3. The Rise of the World Leader

War, famine, and economic collapse shook every continent. Then he appeared — a man of astonishing charisma, speaking peace into chaos. He brokers a seven‑year treaty in the Middle East, hailed as a saviour. The world called him “the bringer of unity.”

Daniel had seen this ruler long ago:

“He shall confirm a covenant with many for one week.” (Daniel 9:27)

Behind his charm lay something ancient and terrifying.
The dragon gave him power, a throne, and great authority. (Revelation 13:2)
For a season, he ruled all nations. The world marveled and followed the Beast.

4. The Mark of Control

Commerce became uniform — digital, efficient, and chained.
Everyone, small and great, rich and poor, was marked — on the right hand or the forehead.

“That no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark.” (Revelation 13:17)

Refusal meant exile, hunger, or death. Cities glittered with technology, yet darkness reigned. Surveillance eyes never slept; worship of the Beast became law. The faithful fled or hid, sustained by miracles and prayer. In wilderness caves and desolate ruins, their voices rose: “Come, Lord Jesus.”

5. The Great Tribulation

Then judgments fell — in escalating waves.

The seals were broken: conquest, war, famine, plague. At the sixth seal and the end of the sixth year, cosmic signs precede, the rapture of the Saints and God pouring out His wrath with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. It is the sixth church (Philadelphia) that is raptured: “Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world,” Rev. 3:10. The church of Laodicea is left to face the wrath of God The seas turned to blood, the skies darkened, earthquakes split the nations. The bowls of wrath poured: sores, fire, and death upon those who bore the mark.

Israel became the trembling focus of the world. From the north, east, and south, armies advanced toward Jerusalem. The Antichrist’s empire encircled the Holy Land.

Zechariah’s prophecy came alive:

“I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people.” (Zechariah 12:3)

The city fell into siege. Hope withered. The remnant cried out to God — broken, desperate, repentant.

6. The Heavens Open

Then it happened. “Immediately after the wrath of God… the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven.” (Matthew 24:29–30)

The skies split apart like a scroll. Lightning flashed from east to west, thunder shaking every mountain.
From the glory of heaven rode the King — Jesus Christ, on a white horse, robed in light, crowned with many crowns.

Behind Him, the armies of heaven — clothed in white — followed. His name: The Word of God.
He came not as the suffering Lamb, but as the Lion of Judah.

At His breath, darkness shattered.
The Antichrist and his armies gathered in the great plain of Megiddo — the valley known as Armageddon.
Yet the battle was no contest:

“He struck the nations… and the Beast was captured and cast alive into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 19:20)

The Word of His mouth destroyed the hosts of evil. The skies fell silent.

7. The Deliverance of Israel

The remnant of Israel looked upon Him whom they had pierced — and wept.

“They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son.” (Zechariah 12:10)

The Spirit of grace was poured out. He gathered His scattered people, cleansed them, and renewed His covenant of peace. Their Messiah had come, not as a stranger, but as Saviour and King.

8. The Reign of the King and the Glorified Saints

Satan was bound.
Nations laid down their weapons.
From Jerusalem, Jesus reigned in righteousness for a thousand years – Jesus Millennial Kingdom (http://www.millennialkingdom.net)

“The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” (Isaiah 11:9)

The deserts bloomed. Lions lay with lambs on His holy mountain. Justice and peace kissed the earth once again.
Those who had suffered for His name beheld His face — their tears wiped away forever.

Satan is released and is still able to raise an enormous army to come against Jesus and the Saints. It is swiftly dealt with and this earth the

9. Judgment Before the Great White Throne

“Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened… And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.” Revelation 20:11-12

10. The Eternal Kingdom

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away… And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Revelation 21:1-2

“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them.” Revelation 21:3

The curse was no more. The Lamb’s light filled all creation.
And so the story that began in a garden ended in a city — the magnificent New Jerusalem, radiant as a bride.

Epilogue

Across eternity echoed the words of victory:

“The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ,
and He shall reign forever and ever.” (Revelation 11:15)

THE PRE-EMINENCE OF JESUS CHRIST

Posted on by

This one Scripture in Colossians describes the pre-eminence of Jesus Christ in history. Moreover, the Bible clearly, with many prophecies, tells us that Jesus is about to return to Earth first to rescue His Saints before God pours out His wrath upon an unrepentant world. with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. Jesus will then return to Earth with the glorified Saints to rescue Israel and begin His Millennial reign.
“He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.” Colossians 1:15-23

God has unfinished business with Israel, the nation He set up to fulfil His purposes. God’s adversary, Satan, knows this and is intent on its destruction. He is the one who is inspiring the leaders of the nations to come against Israel. What is amazing, proving that God is in control of world events, is that all that is unfolding in the world is prophesied in God’s Word. This little nation in terms of land size is the centre of world events.

‘I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and I will curse him who curses you; and in you ALL the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ (Genesis 12:2-3)

WHY JESUS NEEDS TO RETURN TO EARTH?

Posted on by

Whenever mankind unites in pride and human self‑exaltation, God intervenes to humble him and remind creation that “the Most High rules in the kingdom of men.”  ( Daniel 4 : 17 ).
The Tower of Babel episode really is the clearest early type of what the present world is becoming again — a globalized, technocratic rebellion built on autonomous self‑will.

Scripture draws parallels between the arrogance and unity of sinful humanity at Babel and the last‑days global order that Jesus will confront and replace with His righteous Kingdom.

Let’s look at how Scripture itself unfolds this pattern and how it culminates in Christ’s return and His Millennial rule.

HUMANITY’S REBELLION AT BABEL (GENESIS 11)
The Tower of Babel becomes the first great picture of unified human rebellion against God.

Key themes:

  • Collective arrogance: “Let us make a name for ourselves.”
  • A unified system built on pride, self‑exaltation, and independence from God
  • Human government elevating itself above divine authority
  • God’s intervention to restrain evil and create the nations

This becomes the Bible’s first prototype of a global order united against the Lord.

THE PATTERN REPEATS THROUGH SCRIPTURE
Throughout the Old Testament and prophetic literature, Babel/Babylon becomes a symbol of:

  • Human kingdoms that defy God
  • Political‑religious systems that oppose His rule
  • Arrogant empires seeking global dominance
  • Persecution of God’s people
  • Idolatry, immorality, and spiritual rebellion

Examples include:

  • The Babylonian Empire under Nebuchadnezzar
  • The Beastly empires of Daniel 2 and Daniel 7. These have unfolded exactly as prophesied: Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greece, Rome and Ottoman Empires.
  • The coming prophetic “Day of the Lord” judgments on proud nations

Daniel especially shows a clear progression of world empires culminating in a final blasphemous kingdom that mirrors Babel in both structure and spirit.

THE LAST‑DAYS GLOBAL ORDER (REVELATION 13–18)
Revelation brings the pattern to its climax.

The final world system includes:

  • A unified political empire (the Beast)
  • A global economic system (the mark and controlled commerce)
  • A counterfeit religious unity (the false prophet)
  • “Babylon the Great”, a symbolic city/kingdom embodying humanity’s rebellion

This world order is:

  • Centralized
  • Arrogant
  • Defiant toward God
  • United under false leadership
  • Persecuting God’s people,

Just like Babel, it rises in apparent strength—only to fall under God’s judgment.

JESUS’ RETURN: THE DIVINE REVERSAL OF BABEL
Christ’s Second Coming brings the final overthrow of all Babel‑like systems.

Scripture describes His intervention as:

  • The destruction of the Beast and his armies
  • The collapse of Babylon the Great
  • The end of rebellious human government
  • The binding of Satan

Where Genesis 11 shows scattered nations resulting from judgment, Revelation 19–20 shows gathered nations brought into peace under Christ Himself.

THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM: GOD’S RIGHTEOUS ORDER
Jesus’ thousand‑year reign restores everything Babel tried to counterfeit.

Features of His Kingdom:

  • Righteous authority rather than arrogant domination
  • Global unity under the true King
  • Peace among nations
  • Justice, truth, and holiness
  • The fulfilment of God’s covenant promises to Israel and the nations
  • The restoration of creation under Christ’s rule

Where Babel sought a name for humanity, the Millennium exalts the name of Jesus.

WHAT SPACEX AND xAI MEAN FOR HUMANS

Posted on by

Elon Musk just merged SpaceX with xAI, and Tesla may be next. This could be the biggest turning point in Tesla’s history.

Imagine Data Centres in Space, even on the moon, powered by solar ( 6 x more effective in space). Hence. solar power in space for energy on earth.

Jo Bhakdi is an economist and tech entrepreneur. He has a YouTube channel covering both Tesla and AGI. Check out his website and community at pioneerlands.org

What does this mean in terms of Biblical history. It is interesting to see this comment in the Book of Daniel where we find many end times prophecies.

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Daniel 12:4

For Daniel this revelation must have seemed strange as there was no internet, or AI, or cars and planes back in Daniel’s day. But for us it makes good sense. Never before has knowledge increased to the extent it is today with AI. Along with the many other end times signs we can know we are in the last days before the prophesied return of Jesus takes place.

BIBLICAL END TIMES LAWLESSNESS

Posted on by

Minnesota: many Americans, understandably shocked, look at the protests, the violence, and the loss of life and point to immediate causes. Some cite fraud and corruption in federally funded social programs, apparently tolerated by state officials. Others point to aggressive enforcement of immigration law that sparked deadly confrontations.

Minnesota is not an outlier; it is a case study of what happens when institutions that once fostered moral restraint abandon that role. The real cause is less obvious because it is far removed from the tragic events we see today in the headlines.

It can be traced back decades to what was called the long march through the institutions — a phrase coined in the late 1960s by Marxist student leader Rudi Dutschke. The phrase deliberately echoed Mao Zedong’s Long March, but Dutschke’s was not a military campaign. It was a cultural and ideological one, measured in decades rather than battles.

The strategy was to transform society not by overthrowing government outright, but by infiltrating its core institutions: universities, primary and secondary education, the media, the courts, and even churches. The objective was to shape what people were taught — what would be considered normal, respectable, and acceptable — so that political outcomes would eventually become inevitable.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) alluded to this reality recently before the British Parliament when he referenced a quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln:

“The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”

That insight helps explain why the classroom has been central to this long march. Obstacles to Marxist ideology had to be removed or marginalized. It was no accident that prayer and Bible reading were removed from public schools in 1962 and 1963. When God and His word are removed as moral restraints, lawlessness fills the vacuum — and that is the fertile ground in which Marxism takes root and gains power.

Over time, that march has moved beyond institutions and inevitably spilled into the streets. Confrontations like those we’ve seen in Minneapolis — whether involving George Floyd or Alex Pretti — are becoming routine. The rule of law depends on shared moral limits; when those limits erode, force alone cannot restore order.

In the last days, before Jesus returns to restore righteousness, he said that “lawlessness will be increased“

“And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet… 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

THE RISE OF ANTISEMITISM IS JUST ANOTHER END TIMES SIGN

Posted on by

As we see antisemitism on the rise we need to be reminded that from 1941 to 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population. The murders were committed primarily through mass shootings across Eastern Europe and poison gas chambers in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno in occupied Poland. Think about it, using Hitler, Satan was able to takeover the entire nation of Germany and use it for his purposes. The rise of antisemitism is just another prophetic end times sign.

HISTORY IS HIS: JESUS WHO IS, WHO WAS, AND WHO IS TO COME

Posted on by

Change, chaos, suffering, and tribulation are real. Scripture never denies that. But Revelation pulls back the curtain to show what governs it all: a sovereign God who stands above history, from Alpha to Omega. Martyn explains why history isn’t random, why suffering isn’t wasted, and why the future is not out of control.

“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.
To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of Him. Even so. Amen.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:3-8

Another great sermon from Martyn Isles on Revelation. Martyn understands we are living in the Biblical end times.

Fear not, God is on His throne, in total control, and all tribulation that Christians face will serve a glorious purpose for us and for Him.

SCOTTISH THEOLOGIAN PETER JAMES FORSYTH ON HOPE AND VICTORY

Posted on by

How good is it to find gems in books by authors you have never heard of. I owned and distributed Christian books for over 30 years. I purchased Christian Press in 1983 but had never heard of Scottish theologian, Peter James Forsyth or his books, The Cruciality of the Cross (1899), The Work of Christ (1910) and The Justification of God (1917) just three gems of over 100 books published.

I give you two quotes from The Justification of God:

“No reason of man can justify God for His treatment of His Son; but whatever does justify it justifies God’s whole providence with the universe, and solves its problem. He so spared not His Son as with Him to give us all things. The true theology of the Cross and its atonement is the solution of the world. There is no other. It is that or none. And that theology is that the Cross is not simply the nadir of Incarnation, but that it is God’s self-offering (under the worst conditions that love could feel for evil man) to His own holy name. The just God is the chief sufferer, and sole Doer. The holy love there is in action everywhere. The most universal thing in the universal Christ is His cross. Everywhere, according to God’s ubiquity, imminence, or what you will, His holy love is invincibly at issue with death, sin, and sorrow. Everywhere is redemption. And that is the only theodicy. The purpose of salvation is the principle of creation; and the ruling power of the world is the purpose of God.“

It is no light problem that faces the Creator in His world. There was never such a fateful experiment as when God trusted man with freedom. But our Christian faith is that He well knew what He was about. He did not do that as a mere adventure, not without knowing that He had the power to remedy any abuse of it that might occur, and to do this by a new creation more mighty, marvellous, and mysterious than the first. He had means to emancipate even freedom, to convert moral freedom, even in its ruin, into spiritual. After the first creation drew on His might, the second taxed his all-might. It revealed His power as moral majesty, as holy omnipotence, most chiefly shown in the mercy that redeems and reconciles. To redeem creation is a more creative act than it was to create it. It is the last thing omnipotence could do. What is omnipotence but the costly and inevitable action of holiness in establishing itself everywhere for ever. The supreme power in the world is not simply the power of a God but of a holy God, upon whose rule all things wait, and may wait long. It is no slack knot that the Saviour has to undo. All the energy of a perverse world in its created freedom pulled on the tangle to tighten it. And its undoing has given the supreme form to all God’s dealing with the world. But at the same time the snarl is not beyond being untied. Man is born to be redeemed. The final key to the first creation is the second; and the first was done with the second in view. If moral freedom is the crown of the first creation, spiritual, holy freedom is the goal of moral; and it is the gift in the second creation. The first creation was the prophecy of the second; the second was the first tragically ‘arrived.’ There was moral resource in the Creator equal to anything that might happen to the creature or by him. And that resource is put forth in Christ — in His overcoming of the world on the Cross, and His new creation of it in the Spirit. All God’s omnipotence is finally there. The great goal is not the mere fruitage of the first creation, but another creation more creative still. The first does not glide into the second; there is a crisis of entirely new departure. (pp. 122-124)

And the book’s final paragraph must also be shared here:

Faith is more than an individual calm; it is the Church’s collective confidence on the scale of the world for the destiny of the world. The evil world will not win at last, because it failed to win at the only time it ever could. It is a vanquished world where men play with devilries. Christ has overcome it. It can make tribulation, but desolation it can never make. (p. 223)

Jesus return to earth to restore righteousness is not too far distant. The many Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our day. Hallelujah!

“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and He has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron.” Revelation 19:11-13

GOD IS ABOUT TO HUMBLE AND JUDGE THE WORLD

Posted on by

Bodo Hoenen is a relative new Christian coming from a high level scientific and engineering background. Listen to how he wrestles with the question as to “why there are no clear answers” to many Biblical questions. Moreover, I believe he is right to conclude that God is about to humble and judge the world.

God is using this new Christian to show how much the traditional, institutional churches have departed from the truth of God’s Word, thereby helping many Christians in these churches.

The second video is a great presentation of the gospel message which I will send on to people I know who are open and even searching for truth about the big questions of life. I suggest you do the same.

Bodo shares a deeply personal message, recounting a vivid vision of eternity and a consequential choice. The video explores this vision through introspective reflection and scientific analysis. Prepare for a thought provoking journey into existential question, as well as hear a great presentation of the Gospel message.
