APOSTASY ABOUNDS

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Cult-like group connected to murder of Minnesota-born border patrol agent. The murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland is being connected to a cult-like group linked to several deaths across the country. The group’s goal isn’t yet clear, but it started in 2016 with an online blog under the persona Ziz, by a transgender “woman” named Jack LaSota. This group includes a lot of young, highly intelligent computer scientists who’ve become increasingly violent. There are now six death investigations in Vermont, Pennsylvania, and California tied to this group.

CAIR’s Blueprint to Islamize America: 4,000 Mosques to Produce 50 Muslim Congressmen, 50,000 Lawyers, Journalists, Filmmakers, Influencers, and Historians. Nihad Awad, radical CAIR leader with well-documented Hamas ties, unveiled a blueprint for Islamizing America at the terror-linked ISNA conference, urging their 4,000 mosques to fund Muslims to infiltrate and reshape U.S. institutions, boasting of unseating Biden and demanding so-called ‘Palestine’ dominate American politics—proving these Islamic supremacists seek power, not coexistence.

Hatred of Christianity

Thousands Of Christians Killed and Imprisoned for Their Faith In 2024, Report Reveals. In 2024, 4,476 Christians were murdered around the globe because of their beliefs. Another 4,744 were imprisoned. Over 7,670 churches and Christian properties were attacked, too. Those numbers are reported by Open Doors—a global ministry dedicated to serving persecuted believers—which has released its 2025 World Watch List. The annual report reveals the top 50 countries where Christians are most likely to face severe consequences for their faith, from the loss of homes and jobs to imprisonment and death.

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Has Blindness Happened to The Church? Most ‘Palestinian’ Christians hold to a replacement theology position (that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan). In light of the geopolitical tension that exists between Israel and the Arab world, that fact shouldn’t be surprising. But it’s a lie; the Church has not replaced Israel. God’s promises to Israel are indelibly framed in His Word and provide a guarantee to protect, preserve, and provide for His Chosen People: “Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, who disturbs the sea, and its waves roar (The LORD of hosts is His name): ‘If those ordinances depart from before Me, says the LORD, then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever‘” (Jer. 31:35–36).

Last Days Traitors

Eruption In “BleachBit,” “Wipe Hard Drive,” “Offshore Bank” Searches in DC Suggest Deep State Panic Mode. Internet search trends in the Washington, DC, metro area have been nothing short of stunning in recent weeks, reflecting what appears to be growing panic within the federal bureaucracy as President Trump and Elon Musk’s Dept of Government Efficiency (DOGE) root out corruption in non-governmental organizations (NGO) and federal agencies. Earlier this week, internet search trends for “Criminal Defense Lawyer” and “RICO Laws” went viral on X, fueling speculation that Washington’s political elites were in panic mode…. More suspicious search trends have erupted among DC residents as DOGE efforts went into beast mode at the end of the week.

Plague, Pestilence and Plandemics

Measles is spreading in US. A measles outbreak is continuing to spread in Texas and New Mexico. Health officials have reported 90 cases of the disease, which can be deadly, in Texas and eight cases in New Mexico.

Bird Flu Is a Rerun of The COVID Playbook. Bird flu can be very confusing. This is true because, as is so often the case with our government, those who claim to be trying to solve the problem – our so-called “public health” and “pandemic preparedness” “experts” – are actually the ones who created the problem. What is worse, they are actively seeking to perpetuate it.

Blockbuster Yale Study: Millions Of Long COVID Patients Might Actually Be Vaccine Injured. “Yale researchers released a study that posits millions of Americans thought to have Long COVID may have been misdiagnosed and actually have post-vaccination syndrome caused by exposure to the spike protein in COVID vaccines.”

China Reports New Coronavirus ‘With Pandemic Potential’ Discovered. The Daily Mail reports another coronavirus feared to be powerful enough to spread through humans has been discovered in China. In scenes eerily reminiscent of Covid’s beginnings, researchers at the Wuhan Institute detected the new strain living within bats. HKU5-CoV-2 is strikingly similar to the pandemic virus, sparking fears that history could repeat itself. HKU5-CoV viruses were first detected in bats in 2006, but the new data suggests HKU5-CoV-2 has a ‘higher potential for interspecies infection’ than others. However, the potential for HKU5-CoV-2 to spill over to humans ‘remains to be investigated.’

Economic and Food Insecurity

UK government is regulating farmers off their land and will destroy centuries-old farming traditions.
The UK government’s new policies, particularly the removal of the Agricultural Inheritance Tax exception, will lead to the demise of traditional family farms and the transfer of land ownership to large corporations, oligarchs, or the state.

Weather Events

Severe winter storm leaves 10 dead, triggers widespread flooding across Kentucky and southeastern U.S.  At least 10 people have died and over 700,000 customers across multiple states from New York to Alabama) were left without power after a severe winter storm swept through the southeastern US from Feb. 15 to 17, bringing strong winds, heavy rainfall, and widespread flooding. Nine fatalities were reported in Kentucky alone. One fatality was reported in Atlanta, Georgia, after a tree fell on a house, killing a man while he was lying in his bed.

Virginia requests Expedited Major Disaster Declaration after severe winter storms. Governor Youngkin formally made the request to President Trump on February 16, following severe winter storms that caused flooding, infrastructure damage, and power outages.

Snowy roads lead to hundreds of Virginia and North Carolina crashes as Arctic air brings record cold. Roads in Virginia and North Carolina remained treacherous on Feb. 20 as unusually heavy snow led to hundreds of accidents, including crashes on an interstate that involved over 50 vehicles. Meanwhile, a polar vortex sent temperatures plunging from the Northern Great Plains all the way to Louisiana.

Rio de Janeiro melts under staggering heatwave that smashes all records. Temps soared to 111 F, a record high in a decade since Brazil started keeping tabs on temperature extremes.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Trump’s ultimate deterrent. Any attempt on President Trump’s life will be seen as coming from Iran, and he gave instructions to obliterate Iran if it assassinates him.

Trump said World War III will not happen under his presidency. “If we would’ve had this [Biden] administration for another year, you would’ve been in a war three, and now it’s not going to happen,” he said. Trump further said that although the US will not participate in any of these wars, he will stop them. “We’re going to stop people from these stupid, never-ending wars. We’re not going to partake in them ourselves, but we’ll be stronger and more powerful than anybody by far. And if it ever came to war, there is nobody that will be able to come close to us, but we don’t think that’s going to ever happen,” he said.

IDF soldiers report that Hamas is planting explosives in Gaza buffer zone. Israeli journalist Almog Boker interviewed soldiers who said terrorists are taking advantage of their access to the zone to lay explosives intended for Israelis.

Israel’s US envoy says Egypt’s Sissi is breaking peace deal with Egypt, ‘playing both sides’ with Hamas.

Jabbari’s threat marks the third time in a week that an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander has threatened to destroy Israel in Operation True Promise 3.

Concerns Over Russian Invasion In Europe; Trump Seeks Ceasefire By Easter.

The Coming World Leader

Make No Mistake, The Antichrist Is Not a Fictional Character. Six characteristics will mark this future world leader: wickedness (in reality, he’s a beast); world dominance (he’ll be given authority over “every tribe, tongue, and nation”); wonder (he’ll seem to survive a fatal head wound); worship (wonder will turn into worship); words (he’ll be persuasive); war (he’ll go after the Jews and those who’ve turned to Christ in the Tribulation and refuse to take the Antichrist’s mark of worship. Millions will be slaughtered).

Israel is the Key

Nowhere Is God’s Orchestration of World Events Displayed More Dramatically Than in The Land of Israel. God promised to regather Israel to the Land and restore their prosperity, and this prophecy is still being fulfilled. Most Jews and far too many Christians fail to recognize the miraculous fulfillment of ancient prophecies right before our eyes. No doubt Satan is raging. Realizing his time is short, he’s pulling out all the stops to deceive, sow discord and destruction, and thwart God’s plan. But God’s will can’t be hindered. Jesus is still on the throne of Heaven, and none of the chaos on Earth catches Him off guard. With all the Signs of the Times converging around us, we can be assured that Jesus will soon call for His Bride and bring her to the place He’s preparing. We pray for the hearts of the unsaved to be softened, and they’ll turn to Christ for salvation. Then, they’ll join us in the rapture and not face the coming terrible Tribulation.

PRAY THROUGH THESE PERILOUS TIMES

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

The Troubling Theology of Trump’s Faith Adviser. We need to pray that he has advisers who will alert him about the false prophetess Paula White, the fake prosperity gospel, and the NAR movement. Pray that people wake up to false teachings and false teachers. Pray that people will turn to God’s Truth with their whole hearts…

California Gov’t App Advises Teens To Drop Christianity And Embrace The Occult. An official “mental health” app backed by the state of California is targeting vulnerable children with controversial propaganda involving the occult, the New Age, homosexuality, transgenderism, fornication, and more. The attack on biblical principles and precepts is clear, but critics are sounding the alarm. Under the guise of helping California teens with self-esteem and emotions, the new program, known as “Soluna,” features blatantly pagan and occult themes. From magicians and Tarot cards to channeling “that high priestess” and touting lesbian characters, the controversial topics are widespread.

The Secret of ‘Manifestation’ Is Occultism and the Worship of Self. The practice of “manifesting” is not a new idea, but its popularity continues as its so-called practitioners continue to proclaim its efficacy in their lives. Celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Jim Carrey, Lady Gaga, Tom Holland, Drake, and many others claim they’ve had success using the process of manifestation. So, what is it? … the practice of manifestation is unbiblical.

Overcoming Death?: Artificial Intelligence Used To ‘Communicate’ With Dead Loved Ones. There are companies willing to take your money in exchange for “large language models trained on the deceased’s speech patterns, chat logs, and more” to communicate with you just like your loved one did in life. This creates the illusion that you’re “crossing the border between life and death.” What’s really behind this?

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Investigation Underway After Australian Nurses Discuss Deliberately Harming Israeli Patients. In a disturbing incident that has fueled concerns about rising antisemitism, two Australian nurses were suspended after a video went viral showing them making threats against Israeli patients.

Last Days Traitors

Warfare On Lawfare. “…those who are beneficiaries of waste, fraud, and unnecessary government spending will be the most threatened by the cuts that DOGE is making in these programs.” – Bill Ackman. The law is slow-moving, arcane, and incomprehensible to most non-lawyer citizens; that’s why the Party of Chaos has misused it so liberally. In any event, DOGE is moving ahead…and the next battleground looks like the US Dept of Education, an agency which, since its creation in 1979, has only presided over an epic degeneration in the academic performance of young people. What it’s mainly accomplished is to enrich teachers’ unions and raise college tuition costs astronomically while degenerating the purpose and value of higher ed.

Pleading the Fifth? MN Dept. of Education refuses to answer questions at Feeding Our Future hearing.
It was a bizarre scene yesterday in the state House of Representatives’ Education Policy Committee. The Commissioner of the state Dept. of Education (MDE), Willie Jett, time and again deferred questions to his Dept.’s attorney. Gov. Tim Walz appointed Jett as Education Commissioner in Dec. 2022, three months after the first indictments were handed down in the case. MDE hid behind the excuse of “human resources (HR)/personnel privacy” concerns (1:31:50 mark). $250 million of taxpayer money went missing, 40 people have been convicted of fraud, and the state agency responsible won’t answer a single question about what happened.

USAID Sent Over $18 Billion to Islamic Terror States. Somalia, along with other Islamic terrorist entities, including the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza, were among the top beneficiaries of USAID cash. USAID boasted of having sent $2.1 billion to Gaza and the West Bank since the Hamas attacks of Oct 7, 2023. In 2024 alone, $917 million was programmed for the terrorist areas occupying Israel.

Plandemics

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Trump Wants Peace, But Egypt Prepares for War. Over the last few weeks, Egypt has poured more and more troops, tanks, and armaments into the Sinai, close to the border with Israel. This is in direct conflict with the 1978 Peace Treaty with Israel, which required the Sinai to remain demilitarized.

Pentagon threatens to cut aid if Egypt refuses to take in Gazans, as Arab states race to find alternative to Trump plan. The Trump administration is upping the pressure on Cairo to accept the U.S. president’s plan to resettle large parts of Gaza’s population on Egyptian territory. On Thursday, the Qatari outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported that the Pentagon reached out to warn Egyptian officials that part of the over $1.4 billion in annual military aid might be cut if Cairo won’t accept President Trump’s plan.

Hostage Deal: Israel responds to Hamas ultimatum. Hamas announced it’s suspending release of hostages until further notice due to so-called “Israeli violations.” Update: After President Trump then called for all hostages to be released by Saturday…or else, Hamas decided to abide by the original plan and released three more hostages.

Hamas official threatens: ‘October 7th was just a prelude.’ Khaled al-Qa’id, one of the few remaining Hamas leaders, claimed a military victory in Gaza and warned, “The October 7 attack was merely a prelude to the complete liberation of the entire Land of Israel from Jewish control.”

Concluding Scripture

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you” (Philippians 4:6-9).
