THE CURTAIN IS CLOSE TO CLOSING ON THE CHURCH AGE
Iniquity Shall Abound
The world openly calls good evil and evil good. We now live in a time where evil is celebrated and promoted while godliness, holiness, and goodness are treated with contempt (Isaiah 5:20). In times past, it seemed people preferred to do evil, but it was often under cover of darkness. They weren’t so brazen and open about their sin: today, it’s championed and praised.

Police chief Justin McIntire was killed in a chase on foot that occurred after a traffic stop; the surviving officer is in stable condition.

Many in law enforcement and the community feel Swan should’ve never been out on the streets to begin with.

Globalist Goblins Worshiping Creation Rather Than the Creator
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools… who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”
‘Climate idealism meets reality’: green energy failed to meet power demand when most needed during Christmas Eve snowstorms that pummeled northeastern U.S. and Texas.
Just when you thought things couldn’t get more insane: New York Times guest essay advocates mating with short people to save the planet. Author Mara Altman penned the essay, claiming that shorter people tend to live longer and are crucial in conserving food and resources. Altman also said short people “may also be best suited for long-term survival, and not just because more of us will be able to jam into spaceships when we are forced off this planet we wrecked.” The NYT previously profiled an advocate for ‘voluntary human extinction’ to combat climate change.
Biden Administration Backs Risky Geoengineering Plan to Block the Sun.
60 Minutes airs apocalyptic predictions to ring in the New Year with Paul Ehrlich, who has long (and erroneously) predicted disaster due to high population. Ehrlich, a Stanford University professor, said the human population is crowding out the natural environment. He’s recommended taxing children, mass sterilization, abortions, and “whatever steps are necessary.” He predicted hundreds of millions would starve to death in the 1970s, England wouldn’t exist by 2000, and “an utter breakdown of the capacity of the planet to support humanity” would occur by the 1980s.

Hatred of Christianity
A series of attacks by Muslims on Christians and Christian sites in Bethlehem has many faith leaders concerned. The persecution threatens the existence of the oldest Christian community in the world.
Hatred of Jews and Israel
Ridiculous Ramblings Over Ben Givr’s Peaceful Visit to the Temple Mount. Biden Administration and other world leaders condemn Israeli minister visiting Temple Mount. At the behest of the UAE and China, the UN Security Council met Thursday regarding Ben Gvir’s visit to the Temple Mount. Despite his many visits to the temple mount as an MK, this was his first as a top minister in Netanyahu’s new government. Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan said, “Why hold an emergency session for something as simple as a Jew walking to the holiest site in Judaism? He added, “This is pure antisemitism.” Jordan denounced Ben Givr for what it termed storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and violation of its sanctity. Saudi Arabia called the visit a provocative action. Egypt warned against negative repercussions on security and stability in what it called occupied territories and the region, and on the future of the so-called peace process.

A Watershed Moment in the Moral State of Our Rapidly Depraving and Godless Culture. A few weeks ago, Congress passed legislation that codified same-sex marriage as the law of the land, certifying the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that had already sanctioned same-sex marriages. To satisfy the incessant, sinful cries of the incredibly powerful LGBTQ lobby, Congress endorsed an immoral and degenerate lifestyle. The deceptively and deceitfully named Respect for Marriage Act is anything.
…And the Abortion Abomination
Abortion is leading cause of death worldwide for fourth year in a row.
Satanic Temple Sues to Stop Abortion Bans, Claims Killing Babies is a Religious Right. This week, The Guardian published a flattering piece about the satanic group and its efforts to overturn pro-life laws in Idaho, Indiana, Missouri and Texas.
Walgreens, CVS Will Sell Abortion Pill That Has Killed Millions of Babies. FYI: Changing the subject…. We consistently find that drugs – particularly generic drugs – are far more expensive at CVS and Walgreens than at other pharmacies. The costs at Walmart, Costco, Winn-Dixie, and Publix are consistently far lower, as are the costs of most independent pharmacies. The cost of generic drugs, on average, is about 50% higher at CVS and Walgreens than at the lower-cost pharmacies!

…And the Planned-demic
Viral video of WHO chief Tedros saying some countries are using Covid boosters to kill children. So-called fact checkers claim it was a “slip of the tongue.” Regardless, it’s clear since April 2020 that children rarely, if ever, suffer severe complications from COVID. Yet, Big Pharma and Fauci pushed experimental vaccines on healthy children. Today, thousands of kids suffer severe heart problems after receiving the vaccine.
US Health Care Workers Still Facing Jab-or-Job Ultimatums. As the critical shortage of nurses in the US continues to climb, hospitals are still firing Registered Nurses for refusing COVID vaccines, even in Florida, which passed legislation against the ultimatums. The drive to force the COVID vaccine on healthcare workers continues even in spite of court rulings with sizable settlement debts against hospitals that denied religious exemptions from the COVID shot mandate. Also, nursing students are prevented from completing their degrees because colleges are partnering with hospitals that require them to be COVID vaccinated without exceptions, including religious exemptions, in order to complete their clinicals— the final step to becoming a registered nurse.

Macron: A Man on the Move with Global Ambitions
Speaking of Emmanuel Macron, the first French president to win reelection in 20 years seems incapable of experiencing fatigue; he’s made 30 international visits since his reelection in April, has more already scheduled, and is known for taking every photo op he can. Macron is building a 44-nation “European Political Community” and has taken every opportunity to present himself as Europe’s foremost leader and a hyperactive player on the world stage.
Global government is being pushed openly in these last of the last days. Those of us in Christ won’t be here to see who heads it up, but we watchmen and watchwomen on the wall should warn those who seem determined to be left behind about leaders who appear to be vying for that position.
Conclusion
“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12).
Meanwhile, we await Christ Jesus, our Blessed Hope, who will call us up to escape the wrath that God will pour out during the Tribulation.
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18). Also, see 1 Corinthians 15:51-52.
“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).
