Prophetic Forbidding :: By Terry James

As I incessantly remind readers, stage-setting for prophetic fulfillment continues at a blistering pace. This includes the minutest details God’s Word provides to give believers a heads-up on where the world stands on God’s prophetic timeline.

One such detail covered here fairly recently is the matter of the powers that be commanding that we stop eating meat. Further details of the Ephesians 6:12 cabal ratcheting up this demand have emerged to the surface of the intended Great Reset dictatorship the likes of Klaus Schwab and the “powers and principalities” have planned for the rest of us.

It is all part, of course, of Schwab’s statement involving the proposed Great Reset: “You will own nothing and love it.” —Something like that…

Paul the apostle was given the prophecy to pass along. His words now intrude into the daily headlines thanks to the global cabal that intends to rule a New World Order.

Here is the prophecy I believe indicates exactly where we stand:

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer” (1 Timothy 4:1-5).

Specifically, a recent news item I believe involves this prophecy spoke to me as a profound indicator of the lateness of this hour leading to the Tribulation era. I apologize for its length, but it adequately explains elements involved in bringing us to this point in the growing demand to abstain from eating meat.

A new £38m UK-wide centre is set to research alternatives to animal proteins, particularly from plants, fungi, algae and meat grown in labs.

The National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (“NAPIC”) has a mission to develop “acceptable and planet-friendly alternatives to animal proteins.”

Funding has come from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (“BBSRC”) and Innovate UK, as well as three universities and the James Hutton Institute.

A statement by the organisations said supplementing traditional agriculture with alternative protein sources was “critical if we are to meet increasing demands sustainably.”

Alternative proteins are derived from sources other than animals and include terrestrial and aquatic plants, insects, proteins derived via biomass or precision fermentation and cultured meat…

Animal agriculture is estimated to produce up to a fifth of planet-warming emissions, and with the global population projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, the demand for protein is expected to rise significantly.

Some sources, such as the UN Environment Programme, estimate meat consumption alone could grow up to 50 percent by 2050.

We need to find more sustainable sources of protein, and thankfully, there is a huge biodiversity in non-animal sources of protein, and we’ve barely scratched the surface of this…

[In this piece, the writer introduces alternative thoughts on the “no meat” diet.]

Fake meat, synthetic meat, test tube meat, franken meat, clean meat – call it what you will – is the trend to grow meat artificially in a laboratory, and has been attracting some impressive billionaire investment backing and media interest in recent times.

What has been interesting in this era of “fake news” and fact-checking is the number of media articles about fake meat that repeat claims by its commercial proponents that real meat is bad for just about everything, while lab-grown meat is without ethical or environmental baggage – with no apparent attempt to verify those claims.

Beyond the perception that lab-grown meat must be “better for the environment,” another fundamental premise put forward by its animal rights supporters is that it conveniently does away with the need for an animal to die in order to produce a meal.

Unlike traditional beef production, culturing animal cells in a petri dish causes no harm or pain to a sentient animal, they insist.

But what’s not yet being discussed in any of the “gee-whiz” publicity about lab-grown meat is the back story behind the medium needed to produce it.

According to a prominent Australian animal scientist spoken to by Beef Central, multiplying animal cells to create a form of meat protein in a lab requires the use of a medium based on foetal blood plasma.

Foetal blood is produced by slaughtering a pregnant cow, removing its unborn calf from its uterus, and harvesting the blood from it. While a synthetic alternative to foetal blood does exist, it is apparently prohibitively expensive to produce, the meat scientist said.

So much for “mortality-free” lab-grown meat production. (“Research Centre Launched in the UK to Push Fake Meat and Develop a National Protein Strategy,” by Rhoda Wilson, The Exposé, September 3, 2024)

So it is plain that the globalists’ would-be rulers, such as those within the WEF and The Summit of the Future (scheduled to meet a few days from now to work to implement their Pact for the Future), will forbid the eating of meat.

Most of these want to reduce populations of the earth in order to make life on the planet more “sustainable,” as we’ve all heard Prince Charles (now King Charles) of Great Britain lecture about for years. In that regard, they are proposing, through the LGBTQ model and abortion/infanticide route, the reduction of marriage unions that produce children. All of this, of course, in the cause of helping with global warming/climate change—the Mother Earth worship religion they have created that Antichrist’s False Prophet will no doubt have something to say about once the Church is called into Glory by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here, again, is how to go to Christ and avoid the coming terrors of the Tribulation.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
