If Pope Francis Suppresses The Latin Mass He Will Have Made Himself A Tool Of The Antichrist

Those who focus first on politics or economics will be oblivious to his rise and may even find themselves supporting him unwittingly. Politics and economy are not obstacles to him because as sacred scripture notes, the world is already in the clutches of the evil one as God has given him license to for a short time before his ultimate destruction. He does not need to get control over what he already has been allowed to and already does have control over. If he who can offer Christ, God incarnate, all of the riches of the earth and the power therein as part of a simple test in the desert, then certainly the same and more can be offered to any mere man.</p><p>If riches and power are not the obstacle to him, then the object which he has to remove therefore must be spiritual. Specifically, it will be to remove that object or objects which provide the means through which with man's help the grace of God flows into the world. The grace of God can be likened to a water supply and a home which the water is used in to the world, and the pipe through which the water flows as the conduits of this grace. If the antichrist, who wants to bring about the destruction of the human race by, say for this example, setting fire to the house of humanity, he needs to prevent the house from having any means to put out the fire, which in life is the grace of God and in the example is the water, and as such he will attempt to turn off the pipes so that when he goes to burn the house down there will be no means of stopping the fire once it is started.</p><p>Now the grace of God is limitless and the ways which He can transmit that grace to the human race equally limitless. However, certain means are more effective than others because God has designated them as His chosen means. For example, it is clear that Christ did not have to suffer and die on the cross for the sins of man- this is obvious. However, He chose to because this was part of His plan and it was through that means that He brought reconciliation to the human race. In the same way, God has certain means of transmitting his grace more quickly and effectively than others because they were chosen by Him. As the Catholic Encyclopedia notes,</p><blockquote><p>Almighty God can and does give grace to men in answer to their internal aspirations and prayers without the use of any external sign or ceremony. This will always be possible, because God, grace, and the soul are spiritual beings. God is not restricted to the use of material, visible symbols in dealing with men; the sacraments are not necessary in the sense that they could not have been dispensed with. But, if it is known that God has appointed external, visible ceremonies as the means by which certain graces are to be conferred on men, then in order to obtain those graces it will be necessary for men to make use of those Divinely appointed means. This truth theologians express by saying that the sacraments are necessary, not absolutely but only hypothetically, i.e., in the supposition that if we wish to obtain a certain supernatural end we must use the supernatural means appointed for obtaining that end.</p></blockquote><p>This is not to place a limitation on God, but to rather identify that contrary to popular contemporary sentiments which view the transmission of God's grace in an almost entirely individualistic way with no set parameters, the Church has always taught that God gives many means for dispensing grace, but it is all done in an orderly fashion with certain means being able to lead men to grace quicker than other and certain ones being able to transmit more grace than others.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/220px-Highway_401.png"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-113049" height="293" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/220px-Highway_401.png" width="220" /></a></p><p>A highway running in an orderly fashion, sorted by different types of access. Just as the DOT (theoretically) tries to order the flow of traffic so to maximize efficiency and promote the largest number of people getting safely to their destination, God has provided men with the road maps that lead to His grace and ultimately, will lead man home if he follows them. Certain roads get a man to God's destination faster than others.</p><p>There are many recognized, public conduits of God's grace, such as the Sacraments of the Church. These are visible signs of God's grace and mercy and means by which He transmits His grace to us such as Baptism, Marriage, and the Holy Eucharist. However, as the Church has always said, the greatest conduit of grace is the Holy Mass because:</p><blockquote><p>...as Christians we venerate in the bloody sacrifice of the Cross the one, universal, absolute Sacrifice for the salvation of the world. And this indeed is true in a double sense first, because among all the sacrifices of the past and future the Sacrifice on the Cross alone stands without any relation to, and absolutely independent of, any other sacrifice, a complete totality and unity in itself; second because every grace, means of grace and sacrifice, whether belonging to the Jewish, Christian or pagan economy, derive their whole undivided strength, value, and efficiency singly and alone from this absolute sacrifice on the Cross. The first consideration implies that all the sacrifices of the Old Testament, as well as the Sacrifice of the Mass. (source)</p></blockquote><p>Since the sacrifice on the Cross was what reconciled man with God and appeased the just wrath of God, as the mass is the greatest conduit of God's grace that He has given to us.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/3eb0R-edS3Y?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p style="text-align: center">A detailed explanation, part-by-part, of the Mass and what happens.</p><p>The great Catholic saint and mystic of the 20th century, St. Pio of Petrelcina, noted the importance of the mass. He said that as the mass is the sacrifice through which God's grace is made most abundant to man, it is more important that the mass is said than even should the sun be extinguished:</p><blockquote><p>"Every holy Mass, heard with devotion, produces in our souls marvelous effects, abundant spiritual and material graces which we, ourselves, do not know. It is easier for the earth to exist without the sun than without the holy Sacrifice of the Mass."</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: center">and</p><blockquote><p>"If we only knew how God regards this Sacrifice, we would risk our lives to be present at a single Mass."</p></blockquote><p>Great saints throughout the ages have echoed the same:</p><blockquote><p>"When Mass is being celebrated, the sanctuary is filled with countless angels who adore the divine victim immolated on the altar." - St. John Chrysostom</p><p>"The angels surround and help the priest when he is celebrating Mass." - St. Augustine</p><p>"The heavens open and multitudes of angels come to assist in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass." - St. Gregory</p><p>"If we really understood the Mass, we would die of joy." - St. John Vianney</p></blockquote><p>Since the mass is the greatest means of communicating God's grace to the world, then one of the prime targets of the wrath of the antichrist before he comes will be the destruction of the mass, as it is the main conduit of the water of God's grace. This destruction can take place by one of two means.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/15361335_7.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-113064" height="169" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/15361335_7-300x169.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/15361335_7-300x169.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/15361335_7.jpg 681w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">Muslims burning an effigy of Pope Benedict XVI after his <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/speeches/2006/september/documents/hf_ben-xvi_spe_20060912_university-regensburg.html">Regensburg address</a>.</p><p style="text-align: center">But it is not just Muslims. Many Hindus, Jews, atheists, and governments have been throughout history and still are equally vicious persecutors of the Church. Some of them are honest enough, at least in private, to admit they do not even care for reason, but simply hate the Church because they hate Christ. In the words of the infamous American pornographer <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Goldstein">Al Goldstein</a>, "<em>The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks.

We're the flea on the ass of the dog."</em> (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Goldstein">source</a>)</p><p>First, the mass can be stopped by being abolished from without. This comes in the forms of persecution, apostasy, anti-clericalism, the LGBT, the rise of demon worship, false beliefs and hatred of Christ and His Church that populate the world. The rise of paganism and the persecutions of the Muslims which are happening around the world in every country are examples of external persecution that are building up and make no secret of their intense hatred of the Catholic Faith and all it is for. Just as in the past and even in many nations today, they will begin persecutions except using their positions of power and influence in the world as well as their technological wares, they will be able to effect greater persecution over larger numbers of people more quickly than before.</p><p>This also include heresy too. It does not matter that man styles himself a "Christian" but continues to persist in an erroneous sect because that is the essence of heresy from it Greek root literally means " a choice":</p><blockquote><p>The term heresy connotes, etymologically, both a choice and the thing chosen, the meaning being, however, narrowed to the selection of religious or political doctrines, adhesion to parties in Church or State.

As we have noted, heresy is a form of rejection that cannot be separated from subversion. There is no worse crime that a man can commit by blatant, unrepentant heresy, since it is to reject saving truth and lead others into perdition. It is for this reason that notorious heretics were justly executed for centuries by legitimate authorities.</p><p>According to the classical Christian definition of heresy, it is choosing another teaching instead of following that which is taught as truth because one does not like it. St. Paul warned in both <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Timothy%206">1 Timothy</a> and 2 Timothy to stand firm against all false teachings:</p><blockquote><p>I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. (2 Timothy 4:1-5)</p></blockquote><p>Jesus had even harder words on heresy from John 6. This was when after clearly explaining multiple times to the Jews that He had to give His flesh as true food to eat (which is the fulfillment of the grain offering of Daniel 9 that the Antichrist will stop as we explained above), they did not want to hear what he had to say:</p><blockquote><p>Then the Jews began to complain about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered them, “Do not complain among yourselves. No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”</p><p>The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever.” He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.</p><p>When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But among you there are some who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe, and who was the one that would betray him. And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father.”</p><p>Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. So Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life." - John 6:41-68</p></blockquote><p>In other words, Jesus told his own disciples that they can buzz off if they don't want to accept His teachings, or if they want to claim they accept Him yet persistently refuse to acknowledge clearly revealed truth. This is the reason why Our Lord again makes explicitly clear in Sacred Scripture:</p><blockquote><p>“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.’- Matthew 7:21-23</p></blockquote><p>Heresy has already infected the entire world and has caused and is causing much damage in undermining the work of the Church. It could not be a better cover, for while men think they are doing the will of the Lord they are nothing but tools of the antichrist because all of them lead people away from the truth. It is irrelevant what their intentions are, because intention does not matter- action is what counts. it does not matter that Adam did not intend to sin as he did- the fact is that he did.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/adam-eve-by-tintoretto.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-113065" height="206" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/adam-eve-by-tintoretto-300x206.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/adam-eve-by-tintoretto-300x206.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/adam-eve-by-tintoretto-768x527.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/adam-eve-by-tintoretto.jpg 831w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">Adam and Eve.</p><p style="text-align: center">Action matters.

This is the more insidious evil because as opposed to assault from external forces, it has to come by traitors in the ranks of the Catholic "faithful" themselves, either by people who ignore the requirements for a valid mass or from men who illegally say the formula has changed so to give the appearance of a valid mass when it is not.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/fgKweu0ZWVs?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p style="text-align: center">A "clown mass." There are many heretical priests who partake of these "things," which are blasphemous farces. These "masses" are neither valid nor have any good to them, but are a sign of the decrepit state which the Church is facing today.</p><p>Catholic.com has an excellent <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/invalid-masses">article </a>about the validity of a mass, and it identifies three points that must be present, for if any one of them is missing, the mass is not valid:</p><p>-Right intention. This means the priest has to actually intend to say the mass and consecrate the Eucharist. While a priest is supposed to believe that Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ because it is, over 60% of American Catholics do not believe this. I cannot speak for priests, but if the state of the people is any indication, then it is likely there are many priests who do not believe and likewise do not intend to consecrate at mass. This speaks to the reason why it is very important that when going to mass that one finds a priest who is reverent and cares for the sacredness of his office. This is not so much a problem with priests who celebrate the Latin mass or who are members of the SSPX, but can be an issue with priests who celebrate the contemporary for of the mass that has been used since the 1960s, called the Novus Ordo.</p><p>Because this matter deals with individual temperaments, it is less of an issue that one would need to corrupt in an institutional sense. The best way to remedy this problem is to find a faithful priest.</p><p>-Correct matter. This means using the proper bread and wine during mass, not Welch's 100% Grape Juice in little plastic cups and Wonder Bread cubes that are thrown into the garbage like cocktail hors d'ouvres after "services." If this is taking place, then its clear the priest doesn't believe, and goes back to the first issue. This is an individual consideration, not an institutional one.</p><p>-Proper form. This means celebrating the mass in its proper order. This is where the corruption can take place because one can invalidate the consecration of the Eucharist as well as the entire sacrifice by using an improper form, either by direct choice or by deception into thinking that a valid mass is being celebrated when it really is not.</p><p>Now this might seem as an "obsession" about the mass, but it is an obsession worth obsessing over, because it is at the mass that Christ instituted at the last supper that the Eucharist becomes Christ- body, blood, soul and divinity. The reason for the mass is the Eucharist, and without a valid mass there is no valid Eucharist. To deny the Eucharist is to spiritually starve oneself to spiritual death. Therefore, the question of validity is a matter of life and death to a Christian.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/eucharist.jpeg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-113072" height="190" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/eucharist.jpeg" width="265" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">The reason for mass.</p><p>As I alluded to above, there has been a TREMENDOUS amount of controversy since Vatican Council II in the 1960s about the validity of the mass. This would seem to be merely an internal conflict, but its strikes to the heart of the Church because without the Mass, there is no Christ, and if that is the case, the mass is no different than just a guy preaching with some music playing. In other words, it is the difference between the Catholic Faith and all heresies throughout Church history, from the Nicolaitans to the Protestants and all in between or who may come after. But more than just the difference between truth and heresy, the proper form of the mass or not is the difference between either severely reducing or shutting off the flow of God's grace to the world.</p><p>Make no mistake, it is error to say that the current form of most Catholic masses, called the Novus Ordo (N.O.) is invalid, because it clearly most are since they meet the three requirements listed above. The problem with the Novus Ordo is that it is a stripped down version of the Latin Mass that is susceptible to error, misinterpretation, and ultimately provides for a reduced flow of God's grace in a way that Latin mass is not. Dr. Peter Kwasiniewski, writing for the Catholic Blog One Peter Five, elaborates on this in an article about the mass, noting how this is the mass which formed countless saints for centuries, was the mass of the Crusaders, and converted countless men to the true Faith, standing as a and often times the only bulwark for centuries amidst social and political turmoil:</p><blockquote><p>If we take a conservative estimate and consider the Roman Mass to have been codified by the reign of Pope St. Gregory the Great (ca. 600) and to have lasted intact until 1970, we are talking about close to 1,400 years of the life of the Church—and that’s most of her history of saints. The prayers, readings, and chants that they heard and pondered will be the ones you hear and ponder.<strong> </strong></p><p>For<em> this</em> is the Mass that St. Gregory the Great inherited, developed, and solidified. This is the Mass that St. Thomas Aquinas celebrated, lovingly wrote about, and contributed to (he composed the Mass Propers and Office for the Feast of Corpus Christi). This is the Mass that St. Louis IX, the crusader king of France, attended three times a day. This is the Mass that St. Philip Neri had to distract himself <em>from</em> before he celebrated it because it so easily sent him into ecstasies that lasted for hours. This is the Mass that was first celebrated on the shores of America by Spanish and French missionaries, such as the North American Martyrs. This is the Mass that priests said secretly in England and Ireland during the dark days of persecution, and this is the Mass that Blessed Miguel Pro risked his life to celebrate before being captured and martyred by the Mexican government. This is the Mass that Blessed John Henry Newman said he would celebrate every waking moment of his life if he could. This is the Mass that the Fr. Frederick Faber called “the most beautiful thing this side of heaven.” This is the Mass that Fr. Damien of Molokai celebrated with leprous hands in the church he had built and painted himself. This is the Mass during which St. Edith Stein, who was later to die in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, became completely enraptured. This is the Mass that great artists such as Evelyn Waugh, David Jones, and Graham Greene loved so much that they lamented its loss with sorrow and alarm. This is the Mass so widely respected that even non-Catholics such as Agatha Christie and Iris Murdoch came to its defense in the 1970s. This is the Mass that St. Padre Pio insisted on celebrating until his death in 1968, <em>after</em> the liturgical apparatchiks had begun to mess with the missal (and this was a man who knew a thing or two about the secrets of sanctity).</p><p>...</p><p>The classical Roman rite has an obvious theocentric and Christocentric orientation, found both in the <em>ad orientem </em>stance of the priest and in the rich texts of the classical Roman Missal itself, which give far greater emphasis to the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, the divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the sacrifice of Our Lord upon the Cross.<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://onepeterfive.com/ten-reasons-to-attend-the-traditional-latin-mass/#_edn7" name="_ednref7">[7]</a> As Dr. Lauren Pristas has shown, the prayers of the new Missal are often watered-down in their expression of dogma and ascetical doctrine, whereas the prayers of the old Missal are unambiguously and uncompromisingly Catholic.<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://onepeterfive.com/ten-reasons-to-attend-the-traditional-latin-mass/#_edn8" name="_ednref8">[8]</a> It is the real McCoy, the pure font, not something cobbled together by “experts” for “modern man” and adjusted to his preferences. More and more Catholic pastors and scholars are acknowledging how badly rushed and botched were the liturgical reforms of the 1960s. This has left us with a confusingly messy situation for which the reformed liturgy itself is totally ill-equipped to provide a solution, with its plethora of options, its minimalist rubrics, its vulnerability to manipulative “presiders,” and its manifest discontinuity with at least fourteen centuries of Roman Catholic worship—a discontinuity powerfully displayed in the matter of language, since the old Mass whispers and sings in the Western Church’s holy mother tongue, Latin, while the new Mass has awkwardly mingled itself with the ever-changing vernaculars of the world. (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://onepeterfive.com/ten-reasons-to-attend-the-traditional-latin-mass/">source</a>)</p></blockquote><p> </p><p>Any person who has been a Catholic and lived through the transition from the Mass as it was said for centuries until the abrupt post-Vatican II changes will note the massive changes that happened. There has also been a notable, measurable, exponential decline that can be directly correlated with Vatican II.</p><p>In all fairness, it must be noted that there were many problems existing in the Church leading up to Vatican II, and there was a looming decline in the Church. While many people attended, much of it, especially in the United States and Europe, was or was becoming something of cultural practice instead of actual belief. There were many people who were in the churches but did not understand what they believed even in fundamental ways. However, these are not problems uncommon to the Church from history. Indeed, there is likely a not a problem that has not existed among the human race that has not been found in the Church and in the worst possible form. Yet this is the miracle of the Catholic Faith, since the Church is the only institution which has survived since antiquity, seeing the rise and fall of empires, civilizations, and entire peoples, all the while often times being managed in the most inefficient way possible by the most incompetent and unqualified of people and undergoing the worst crises one could conceive of, yet still managing to survive, recover, and grow through and beyond them in ways that no human organization ever could manage to do. It is a testament to the words of Christ is sacred scripture that:</p><blockquote><p>And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. -Matthew 16:17-20</p></blockquote><p>The issue here is not whether the church will survive or not, because God Himself will see to it that She will. The question here is rather that which Jesus Himself asked his disciples:</p><blockquote><p>I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” -Luke 18:8</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/childrenoffatima.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-113068" height="211" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/childrenoffatima-300x211.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/childrenoffatima-300x211.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/childrenoffatima.jpg 593w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">The Three Seers of Fatima- Lucia dos Santos, Francisco Marto, and Jacinta Marto.

It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before.<strong> Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. </strong>The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests.”</p><p>“The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres…churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.</p><p>“The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them” (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ewtn.com/library/mary/akita.htm">source</a>)</p></blockquote><p><strong>However, there may be even more that is not being said. </strong>In an article from the Catholic Traditionalist website One Peter Five, noting that part of the message involves a "bad council" and a "bad mass":</p><blockquote><p><strong>Today, on the Feast of Pentecost</strong>, I called <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gloria.tv/?media=3070" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fr. Ingo Dollinger</a>, a German priest and <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.kathpedia.com/index.php?title=Ingo_Dollinger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former professor of theology in Brasil</a>, who is now quite elderly and physically weak. He has been a personal friend of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI for many years. Father Dollinger unexpectedly confirmed over the phone the following facts:</p><p><strong>Not long after the June 2000 publication of the Third Secret of Fatima by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger told Fr. Dollinger during an in-person conversation that there is still a part of the Third Secret that they have not published! “There is more than what we published,” Ratzinger said. He also told Dollinger that the published part of the Secret is authentic and that the unpublished part of the Secret speaks about “a bad council and a bad Mass” that was to come in the near future.</strong></p><p>Father Dollinger gave me permission to publish these facts on this High Feast of the Holy Ghost and he gave me his blessing. (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://onepeterfive.com/cardinal-ratzinger-not-published-whole-third-secret-fatima/">source</a>)</p></blockquote><p>It is of note that Sr. Lucia dos Santos, one of the Fatima visionaries, explicitly stated that the Third Secret was to be revealed publicly <strong>no later than 1960</strong>, especially considering that Vatican II happened a mere two years later:</p><blockquote><p>It was under the direct order of her bishop and, with the assistance of Our Lady, that Sister Lucy dos Santos wrote the third part of the Secret down on January 2, 1944. Speaking to Sister Lucy, the Queen of Heaven told her that it was God’s Will that she commit the Secret to paper and entrust it to her bishop and, through him, to Pope Pius XII. At that time, the Blessed Virgin also indicated that this part of the Secret was to be revealed to the Faithful no later than 1960.</p><p>Upon learning that her bishop was unwilling to open the envelope containing the Secret, Sister Lucy "made him promise," in the words of Canon Galamba, "that the Third Secret would be opened and read to the world upon her death or in 1960, whichever would happen first." If her bishop died first, it was agreed that the Secret would be confided to the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon. Despite this agreement, the Secret was, in fact, delivered to the Vatican where it has remained undisclosed to the public for over fifty years.</p><p>Since 1960 when, after reading the Secret, Pope John XXIII decided not to reveal the contents publicly, there has been growing speculation concerning what it contains. While in the past, speculation often identified the Secret with all sorts of cataclysms and disasters, more recent scholarship has indicated that it most likely concerns the widespread chaos, confusion and loss of faith that has gripped the Roman Catholic Church over the last three and a half decades. (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.fatima.org/essentials/facts/secret.asp">source</a>)</p></blockquote><p>Again, I emphasize that <span style="text-decoration: underline">I am not saying the Novus Ordo mass is in itself invalid</span>. What I am stating is that there is a body of evidence which strongly indicate the decline of the Faith and increasing abuses of the Faith from within the Church is tied to the changes made at Vatican II that have been warned about by numerous people and per the Fatima messages are also <em>including from God Himself</em>.</p><p>Since Vatican II, the common understanding was that the "old mass" (as some called it) was banned, and this view was promoted by many bishops, who took extraordinary measures to insure the traditional mass was not said. However, some priests insisted it was not, noting that it was never banned and that it could not be banned based on Catholic Tradition itself. Such was the impetus for the formation of the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://sspx.org/en">Society of St. Pius X (SSPX)</a> who continued to say the traditional mass (and are not to be confused with the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sspv.org/">Society of St. Pius V (SSPV)</a>, who are <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://archives.sspx.org/miscellaneous/sedevacantism/little_catechism_on_sedevacantism.htm">sedevacantist </a>heretics) on the basis of this argument, maintaining they were neither heretics nor schismatics, but simply continuing in the tradition of the Church as it always was.</p><p>In 2007, a long needed clarification came from Pope Benedict XVI, who said, echoing the position of the SSPX and in direct opposition to those who said the "old mass" was banned, said that both forms of the mass were permitted:</p><blockquote><p>In the first place, there is the fear that the document detracts from the authority of the Second Vatican Council, one of whose essential decisions – the liturgical reform – is being called into question.</p><p>This fear is unfounded.  In this regard, it must first be said that the Missal published by Paul VI and then republished in two subsequent editions by John Paul II, obviously is and continues to be the normal Form – the <i>Forma ordinaria</i> – of the Eucharistic Liturgy.  The last version of the <i>Missale Romanum</i> prior to the Council, which was published with the authority of Pope John XXIII in 1962 and used during the Council, will now be able to be used as a <i>Forma extraordinaria</i> of the liturgical celebration.  It is not appropriate to speak of these two versions of the Roman Missal as if they were “two Rites”.  Rather, it is a matter of a twofold use of one and the same rite.</p><p>As for the use of the 1962 Missal as a <i>Forma extraordinaria</i> of the liturgy of the Mass, I would like to draw attention to the fact that this Missal was never juridically abrogated and, consequently, in principle, was always permitted.  At the time of the introduction of the new Missal, it did not seem necessary to issue specific norms for the possible use of the earlier Missal.  Probably it was thought that it would be a matter of a few individual cases which would be resolved, case by case, on the local level.  Afterwards, however, it soon became apparent that a good number of people remained strongly attached to this usage of the Roman Rite, which had been familiar to them from childhood.  This was especially the case in countries where the liturgical movement had provided many people with a notable liturgical formation and a deep, personal familiarity with the earlier Form of the liturgical celebration.  We all know that, in the movement led by Archbishop Lefebvre, fidelity to the old Missal became an external mark of identity; the reasons for the break which arose over this, however, were at a deeper level. Many people who clearly accepted the binding character of the Second Vatican Council, and were faithful to the Pope and the Bishops, nonetheless also desired to recover the form of the sacred liturgy that was dear to them.</p><p>There is no contradiction between the two editions of the Roman Missal.  In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but no rupture.  What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful.  It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church’s faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place.  Needless to say, in order to experience full communion, the priests of the communities adhering to the former usage cannot, as a matter of principle, exclude celebrating according to the new books.  The total exclusion of the new rite would not in fact be consistent with the recognition of its value and holiness. (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/letters/2007/documents/hf_ben-xvi_let_20070707_lettera-vescovi.html">source</a>)</p></blockquote><p>In the following decade since this clarification, there has been a tremendous growth in the popularity and prevalence of the Latin mass worldwide as well as within the SSPX. However, there is talk coming from the Vatican that Pope Francis and his associates are directly looking at attempting to reverse the work done by Pope Benedict, possibly going so far as to expressly (and illegally) forbid the saying of the Latin mass:</p><blockquote><p>Sources inside the Vatican suggest that Pope Francis aims to end Pope Benedict XVI’s universal permission for priests to say the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), also known as the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. While the course of action would be in tune with Pope Francis’ repeatedly expressed disdain for the TLM especially among young people, there has been no open discussion of it to date.</p><p>Sources in Rome told LifeSite last week that liberal prelates inside the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith were overheard discussing a plan ascribed to the Pope to do away with Pope Benedict’s famous document that gave priests freedom to offer the ancient rite of the Mass.</p><p>...</p><p>The overheard plans are nearly identical to comments from an important Italian liturgist in an interview published by France’s <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.la-croix.com/Religion/Catholicisme/Pape/Le-pape-Francois-reflechit-lavenir-motu-proprio-2017-07-07-1200861116">La Croix</a> earlier this month. Andrea Grillo a lay professor at the Pontifical Athenaeum of St Anselmo in Rome, billed by La Croix as “close to the Pope,” is intimately familiar <em>Summorum Pontificum</em>. Grillo in fact published a book against <em>Summorum Pontificum </em>before the papal document was even released.</p><p>Grillo told La Croix that Francis is considering abolishing <em>Summorum Pontificum</em>. According to Grillo, once the Vatican erects the Society of Saint Pius X as a Personal Prelature, the Roman Rite will be preserved only within this structure. "But [Francis] will not do this as long as Benedict XVI is alive.”</p><p>The plan, as related to LifeSite, involved making an agreement with the Society of St. Pius X and, with that agreement in place, sequestering those Catholics wanting the TLM to the SSPX. For most, that would strip them of access to the TLM since there would not be nearly enough SSPX priests to service Catholics wanting the TLM worldwide.</p><p>Moreover, LifeSite’s source suggested that the plan may explain a May 20, 2017 letter by the recently ousted Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, Cardinal Gerhard Müller. Even though Cardinal Müller wanted the SSPX fully reconciled to help <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-cardinal-enlists-the-help-of-sspx-to-fight-the-modernists">fight modernists in the Church</a>, the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/fetzen-fliegen/item/3266-cardinal-mueller-s-letter-to-bishop-fellay">May 20 letter</a> seemed to scuttle an agreement between Pope Francis and the SSPX which would see them get a personal prelature. The letter includes provisions long known to be completely unacceptable to the SSPX, thus nullifying an understanding SSPX leader Bishop Bernard Fellay believed was imminent.</p><p>The LifeSite source suggested that the May 20 letter by Muller perhaps was written because he knows what Francis was up to and wanted to avoid the plan to bury Summorum Pontificum with Pope Benedict. “It’s directed not so much against Fellay but against the agreement,” said the source. “Pope Francis was very angry that document came out from Cardinal Muller and some say that’s why he made the decision to dismiss him.” (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-rumblings-pope-francis-aiming-to-end-latin-mass-permission">source</a>)</p></blockquote><p>At the same time this is happening, there is an active move under way lead by Pope Francis himself and his colleagues to bring about a shared Eucharist with the Lutherans:</p><blockquote><p>Pope Francis and the global Lutheran leader have jointly pledged to remove the obstacles to full unity between their Churches, leading eventually to shared Eucharist.</p><p>They made the commitment in a joint statement signed before a congregation of Catholic and Lutheran leaders at the conclusion of a joint service in Lund, Sweden, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the start of the Reformation.</p><p>The statement was signed by Pope Francis and Bishop Munib Younan, who is president of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), which was founded in Lund in 1947. After they finished signing, the congregation stood for a long round of applause as the two leaders hugged each other.</p><p>The two leaders appeared to single out married couples where one partner is Catholic and the other Lutheran. “Many members of our communities yearn to receive the Eucharist at one table, as the concrete expression of full unity,” they noted.</p><p>“We experience the pain of those who share their whole lives, but cannot share God’s redeeming presence at the Eucharistic table,” they said, adding: “We acknowledge our joint pastoral responsibility to respond to the spiritual thirst and hunger of our people to be one in Christ.”</p><p>“We long for this wound in the Body of Christ to be healed,” they continued. “This is the goal of our ecumenical endeavors, which we wish to advance, also by renewing our commitment to theological dialogue.”</p><p>In their statement, the leaders acknowledged that “Lutherans and Catholics have wounded the visible unity of the Church.”</p><p>“Theological differences were accompanied by prejudice and conflicts, and religion was instrumentalized for political ends,” they said, adding later: “Today, we hear God’s command to set aside all conflict. We recognize that we are freed by grace to move towards the communion to which God continually calls us.”</p><p>As well as pledging to work towards intercommunion, the leaders prayed that Catholics and Lutherans will be able to witness together to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and work for justice and peace.</p><p>“We urge Lutherans and Catholics to work together to welcome the stranger, to come to the aid of those forced to flee because of war and persecution, and to defend the rights of refugees and those who seek asylum,” they said, adding that their “joint service” must also extend to God’s creation. (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cruxnow.com/papal-visit/2016/10/31/catholic-lutheran-churches-pledge-work-shared-eucharist/">source</a>)</p></blockquote><p>Interfaith relations with the goal of bringing heretics into full conversion and reconciliation with the Catholic Church is imperative. However, as this article notes, this is not about actual reconciliation, but rather an intercommunion- with the Lutherans remaining separate from the Church and still persisting in their current beliefs. This remains consistent with <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2016/10/05/attract-followers-dont-proselytize-says-pope-francis">Francis' stated view that people should not proselytize, i.e. actually convert people, but allow them tor remain along their own paths:</a></p><blockquote><p>It’s fair to ask what kind of Catholic Church we as Evangelicals want to see. At lunch I asked Pope Francis what his heart was for evangelism. He smiled, knowing what was behind my question and comment was, “I’m not interested in converting Evangelicals to Catholicism. I want people to find Jesus in their own community.  There are so many doctrines we will never agree on. Let’s be about showing the love of Jesus.” (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://dispatchesfrombrian.com/2014/07/09/lunch-with-the-pope/">source</a>)</p></blockquote><p>The abundant lack of <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/is-pope-francis-deliberately-subverting-papal-teaching-authority">clarification </a>coming from Rome in combination with a consistent pattern of <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://onepeterfive.com/with-pope-francis-self-contradiction-is-par-for-the-course/">openly self-contradicting</a>, vague, and <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/full-text-of-dubia-cardinals-letter-asking-pope-for-an-audience-15105/">highly questionable statements</a> and actions coming from Francis and his supporters on many issues make both the intercommunion issue with Protestants and the seeming disdain Francis has for the Latin mass all the more serious. Latin mass or not aside, the simple fact is that the Lutherans or any other Protestant, barring formal readmission to the Catholic Church either as as separate rite (such as the case with the Anglican Communion in the Catholic Church) or by reception into the Roman Rite cannot receive communion because the <strong>Lutherans do not believe that the Eucharist is the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ and as such do not have a valid mass</strong>. To say that a person who denies the Real Presence in the Eucharist could receive the Bread of Life is either (a) to desecrate the Eucharist and commit open blasphemy or (b) <span style="text-decoration: underline">to formally not consecrate the Eucharist and reduce it to a mere symbol, and thus at the same time invalidate the pass because the consecration of the Eucharist is the essential part of the mass</span><strong>. </strong></p><p>Daniel 9:27 notes that as part of its rise to power,<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/01/17/90919/"> the antichrist will stop the grain offering, which is the prefigurement of the Eucharist</a>:</p><blockquote><p>He shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall make sacrifice and offering cease; and in their place[f] shall be an abomination that desolates, until the decreed end is poured out upon the desolator.</p></blockquote><p>Am I saying that Pope Francis is the antichrist? No.</p><p>Am I saying that Pope Francis is directly working to bring about rise of the antichrist? No.</p><p>Am I saying that the Catholic Church is the whore of Babylon? No.</p><p>I am saying that Pope Francis actions toward the Latin mass and intercommunion, in light of Catholic teaching and whether he intends them to or not, may result in the creation of conditions favorable to the rise of the antichrist.</p><p>Right now, the Catholic Church is in poor condition worldwide, caused by a historic apostasy that has been going on for almost 60 years directly following Vatican II and amidst many warning signs that a change would cause disastrous results, particularly concerning the mass. The Church is facing massive persecution from without worldwide, especially in areas that were once considered ancient lands of Christendom. She is also facing massive persecution from within, as due to decades of poor catechesis, bad leadership, and a lack of faith the "faithful" are for the most part a group of baptized pagans declining in number and with a poor understanding of what the Faith teaches (this does not include the 60%+ of "Catholics" worldwide who are Catholic in name only). While the Church will never fail because Christ said she would not, what holds the faithful together is really the graces which flow from the mass and in particular through the Eucharist.</p><p>Again, if a change to the Novus Order mass in its current state is made so to allow for intercommunion with the Lutherans, than barring their clear conversion and acceptance of the Faith the Eucharist will either be illegally permitted to be desecrated or simply not consecrated at all. Both are terrible options, but the latter is the more likely, and would immediately invalidate the mass, as it would stop the "grain offering" for the majority of "masses" said around the world. As far as Catholics who persist in saying the Traditional mass, they would be immediately "ghettoized" as a rejected, scorned minority in the walls of the Church and possibly charged with false claims of heresy for their actions.</p><p>I am not saying this will happen, but neither am I saying it will not. I am saying that the warning signs are clear, present, and under the administration of the current pope, who has made countless dubious statements and refuses to answer simple and legitimate theological questions posed about his stances on matters of faith and morals, there is much to be concerned about.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/85de9666bf79354ce06e85416268dd7f-prayer-cards-prayer-for.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-113070" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/85de9666bf79354ce06e85416268dd7f-prayer-cards-prayer-for-233x300.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/85de9666bf79354ce06e85416268dd7f-prayer-cards-prayer-for-233x300.jpg 233w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/85de9666bf79354ce06e85416268dd7f-prayer-cards-prayer-for.jpg 400w" width="233" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">What happens at mass</p><p>Ultimately, the Mass is the big target because through it flow the graces which as the saints say sustain the entire world, and are naturally more important than even the Sun itself. It would not need be entirely extinguished either, but simply suppressed enough over a large enough segment of the world that the supply of grace is cut off to such an extent that, using the example I gave earlier of a water supply, house, and the pipes that bring the water to the house, the water supply flow is so reduced that it cannot stop a fire should one start. As we have been warning, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/09/18/the-greatest-persecution-of-christians-is-about-to-happen-the-whole-world-is-being-plunged-into-darkness-the-spirit-of-antichrist-is-taking-over-be-prepared-for-major-persecution/">the greatest persecution of Christians in history is not behind us.

Christians Beware: The Antichrist Is Arising. Christians Prepare. Here Is How You Can Be Ready

<p><img alt="" height="466" src="http://referentiel.nouvelobs.com/file/15948475-a-metz-un-meeting-pro-erdogan-divise-la-classe-politique-francaise.jpg" width="965" /></p><p><strong>By Walid Shoebat (Shoebat Sunday Special)</strong></p><p>On this Turk's forehead a lie is etched that says "Allah. There Is No God but Allah". The truth is this: there is no God but the God of the Bible Who predicted what's coming. The Muslims, deluded by Erdogan believe that their creed will rule the world. But is the western world confronting the Caliphate trend re-arising again in Turkey? In the end we will discuss what Christians must do to make ready the next generation in times like this. We will cap this detailed research on how Christian fathers need to prepare their families. We implore everyone to read this since time is of the essence. Our Sunday specials are not meant for the lazy but for serious study and preparation. Prepare to spend an hour or two to carefully examine this report. Relax, its the weekend.</p><p>Most who track the recent developments and read the news would think that the west is on a soon to be collision course with Turkey. After all almost unanimously, German newspapers condemn Turkey. Today Germany says that it sees itself confronting what they term as "Turkey's Muslim sultanate," but is this true? Did Europe finally awaken ready to react to Turkey's latest developments or is this saber rattling all fiction meant for media consumption? We will discuss this in detail later on. But first, the wakeup call probably hit the West when on the night of 15 July 2016, when Turkey witnessed an attempted coup against the rule of powerful Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has ruled Turkey since 2002. Erdogan's youth headed by Osman Gökçek who was later praised by Erdogan saying "Osman Gökçek, the president of the Federation of Youth Clubs of Turkey, has become one of the first resistance legs on the night of July 15" gave a fiery speech asking all to go out for Jihad on the streets of Istanbul to defend Erdogan:</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/4gGR3euVx6k?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p>Gökçek was now the general Maximus Decimus Meridius who was to stop Commodus, the ambitious son of Emperor Marcus Aurelius from seizing the throne. It would not surprise me if Erdogan dies that such a Maximus rises through the ranks and become Sultan.</p><p><img class="size-medium aligncenter" height="360" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7kaI59M5yeY/0.jpg" width="480" /></p><p>And by these calls for Jihad when the attempted coup began at 10:30 pm that day, but by dawn, the attempt had failed and by noon this Marcus Aurelius, Erdogan, had returned to Istanbul as a conquering hero and all the coup leaders had been arrested. It was rather a quick-and-dirty operation that was tracked and ended in no time while the masses were already flooding the squares in support for Erdogan.</p><div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img alt="" height="541" src="https://cdnde1.img.sputniknews.com/images/31165/65/311656566.jpg" width="1000" /><p class="wp-caption-text">It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.</p></div><p>Following this event, immediately, Turkey witnessed the largest change in its history since the establishment of the Turkish Republic by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in 1922. Erdogan immediately began to get rid of his main Islamist competitors. He accused his ex-partner, Turkish-born cleric Fathullah Gulen of responsibility for the attempt and embarked on a massive purge campaign that Turkey has not witnessed in recent history. Modern Turkey as we know it ended. The modernism that was built on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, including the Turkish army which remained a symbol and citadel of the principles and ideas of modernism has now been revamped. What is emerging is a mimmic of the old Ottoman empire which today even Israel, while in denial, calls it as such "the Ottoman Empire". Erdogan in the "name of peace" now threatens the peace of the most important spot of real estate in history: the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Yet the world still rejects that the sovereign God, Who there is no God but He, not Allah, had predicted all this in advance where neither east or west (or even Jerusalem) appreciates Christ's warning of an impending catastrophe. To Christendom, its 'life as usual'.</p><p>And while Christendom slumbers, in Turkey, the foundations of separation of mosque and state is now over. All the hopefuls, liberals, modernists, optimists and experts who promoted the idea that Islamism in Turkey is ending were all dead wrong and only a handful of analysts were correct. Thus, the military and judiciary institutions were the republic's guardians and the Ataturkian constitution that always moved through military coups or the judiciary to defend Ataturk's principles against all attempts by politicians is now gone.</p><p><img class=" aligncenter" height="349" src="http://www.tagesspiegel.de/images/heprodimagesfotos82420160729guel_362_1_20160728155507952-jpg/13942800/2-format6001.jpg" width="886" /></p><p>Erdogan said that the coup attempt "is a gift from Allah because it was the reason to cleanse our army". This obstacle has already been eliminated. Now comes the wrath. Anyone who refused to pledge allegiance to this beast is being severely punished. In the judicial institution, a whopping one quarter of the prosecutors and judges, military establishment, education and all departments of the state have been expelled or imprisoned and Erdogan threatens to behead them. The number of those who have been dismissed from the work reached more than 150 thousand, the number of prisoners is about 50,000, including more than 5,000 academics and 150 journalists. Dozens of institutions, media outlets, newspapers, magazines and anti-Erdogan TV stations have also been closed and hundreds of private enterprises and corporations accused by the government of being linked to Gulen have been arrested. Finally the world is beginning to see the face or the Ottoman beast beginning to ravish its own people and in few years it will ravish its neighbors. What we see today is simply a taste of what is to come where Islam will come across as modern, yet inwardly lethal. This will not be like ISIS on full display, but more deceptive, colorful, modernesque, unifying and appealing to modernist Muslims and to western hopefuls.</p><p><img class="size-medium aligncenter" height="446" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-gXqzzINGHuM/U_NJeAChXiI/AAAAAAAB9YQ/gDq-aY6-RQA/w551-h491-no/picmix.com_2854890%2B%281%29.gif" width="500" /></p><p>Many made fun of Erdogan who was way ahead of the ballgame. Before the attempted coup, we warned how Erdogan was actively seeking to change the system of government from parliamentary to presidential and promote it as the best for stability and development in the country. After the coup,  circumstances changed greatly and the campaign of great cleansing and the situation became ripe for the implementation of Erdogan's political project through a referendum which was held in April. According to the new constitution, the president, who currently has wide powers, will be elected President with a new parliament in 2019. Few years earlier, Erdogan being way ahead of the game separated the gendarmerie (the armed wing of the party similar to the SS) from the military establishment and attached it to the Ministry of the Interior, whose numbers had been greatly increased, particularly those of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) who are loyal Erdoganists. On July 15th-16th, This militia-styled force was finally seen in action. It had essentially responded to the coup attempt and ended military coups once and for all. These 'military coups' was the only embedded mechanism in Turkey that prevented Islamist dictatorships. It is now gone. Turkey is on a journey of no return.</p><p><img class="size-medium aligncenter" height="469" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Lvi7O6Aoedo/VBBj7l9On-I/AAAAAAACFwc/KqQ2Dso9bWk/s469/10322693_10152189303822762_8189458027727815656_n.jpg" width="469" /></p><p>With the state of emergency in the country following the attempted coup, Erdogan now can rule through presidential decrees without having to present them to the parliament which is controlled by his party in conjunction with the Islamist Nationalist Movement.</p><p>So far, half of what we have been warning about has now come to past. But there is another half, Turkey's expansionist plans, its advancement to a fully-fledged Caliphate where all loyalists mark their foreheads, a phenomenon which we already see sporadically in pro-erdogan rallies and in art.</p><p><img class=" aligncenter" height="471" src="http://i21.servimg.com/u/f21/18/66/45/06/10703910.jpg" width="701" /></p><p>So will Europe's condemnation and response to Erdogan slow down his plans, or will Erdogan's advance into <em>Caliphatism</em> move supersonically?</p><p>The latter is what we already see. The sign is Erdoğan’s attitude regarding the future career of Mehmet Görmez, the head of Turkey’s religious authority (Diyanet). Görmez signaled that he will soon be on his way out. The <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/does-erdogan-have-something-big-in-mind.aspx?pageID=517&nID=116052&NewsCatID=409">Turkish Hurriyet Daily News</a> yesterday suspects that Erdogan "might have something big in mind regarding the administrative structure in Turkey".</p><p>But this 'something big' is no secret. Hayrettin Karaman, Erdogan’s main Fatwa giver revealed this plan in 2015. Karaman <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yenisafak.com/yazarlar/hayrettinkaraman/baskanlik-sistemi-2024812">wrote</a>:</p><blockquote><p>“What this [presidential system] looks like <strong>is the Islamic caliphate system</strong> in terms of its mechanism. In this system the people choose the leader, the Prince, and then all will pledge the <em>Bay’ah</em> [allegiance] and then the chosen president appoints the high government bureaucracy and he cannot interfere in the judiciary where the Committee will audit legislation independent of the president. ”</p></blockquote><p>This one statement alone yields a multitude of prophetic consequences. <em>Bay’at</em>, as Islam calls it, which is “giving allegiance,” is the hallmark of the Antichrist as John declared: “but the fatal wound was healed! The whole world marveled at this miracle and <strong>gave allegiance to the beast</strong>” (Revelation 13:3).</p><p>To Karaman, this man who is "given allegiance" is called “The Prince,” exactly as stated in Daniel 9:26.</p><p>It is Karaman, and not  Görmez, who is Erdogan's fatwa-giver in Turkey. Karaman is one of Erdogan’s main henchmen and a practitioner of <em>Muruna, </em>defined by Qaradawi as<em> "</em>to balance" and even "allow deceit". This is the Muslim Brotherhood’s allowance for sanctioning Islamic prohibition in the case of Jihad, which means that the Mufti can bend Islamic Sharia to produce favorable fatwas, whatever it takes to establish an Islamic Caliphate. Hosea 12:7 tells us of the Antichrist: “He is a merchant, the <strong><em>balances of deceit</em></strong> are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.” The “Balances of deceit” is exactly how the three decade Islamic doctrine, <em>Muruna,</em> is defined as the “<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://“The Doctrine of Balance,” which is a litany of confusing schizophrenic and double-minded ideas on how to “forgive evils” in order to “acquire interests” necessary to reach the goals. The solution? “to balance between good and evil, and if the good and evil conflict with each other we make priority as to when we put ahead evil for the sake of an interest, and determine when an evil deed is forgiven for the sake of an interest.” Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2011/11/365929/#gvHVZtUlTk2TLSAd.99">Doctrine of Balance</a>” where a Muslim can balance between good and evil and is sanctioned to do evil for the sake of victory. And this balance of deception is not only our assumption, Today’s Zaman <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.todayszaman.com/columnist/mumtazer-turkone/erdogan-the-caliph_376539.html">assess</a> Erdogan’s caliphate of corruption through "Muruna" and by giving him full allegiance:</p><blockquote><p>This is how Erdogan was able to legitimize the corrupt and illegal practices of the Islamist politicians and businessmen. This includes getting bank credit with interest, a system not sanctioned by Islam but is <strong>sanctioned through Muruna</strong>, donating huge amounts of money to the charities of politicians in return for favorable public tenders and contracts, and even getting people killed for the benefit of the state. As Ali Bulaç wrote some time ago, Erdoğan started getting these fatwas after becoming mayor of Istanbul in 1994.</p><p>According to the general theory of political Islam, the relationship between those who lead and those who are led is based upon a “<strong>contract of allegiance</strong>.” Those who are led declare, via their representatives, that they will obey their leader, thus surrendering all of their political rights — unconditionally — to said leader. And so the contract draws up the parameters for both sides: The leader will lead justly, while those who are led will be obedient. In the meantime, within the traditions of political Islam, those who use their power in this way are called “caliphs.” And a caliphate is, for leaders who rely upon religious references in the Islamic world, the name of the system that they will inevitably turn towards.</p></blockquote><p>Daniel warned: “He will be a master of deception and will become arrogant; he will destroy many without warning.” (Daniel 8:25)</p><p>Students of the Bible couldn't see it. They expected an eloquent speaker and a charismatic leader, but the problem is that they expected him to speak in English.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/5nZv2cHScXg?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&start=247&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p>There is no question, prophecy is being fulfilled. Karaman wrote another column on the caliphate. He argues that it is the best regime. His formulation is not a democratic one. Similar to Iran’s ayatollahs and mullahs, he wants to create a “mullahcracy” where the serious decisions will be given by Erdoğan’s mouthpiece fatwa-givers, not by the people.</p><p>In 2015 we <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2015/12/27/90032/">wrote</a>: "The situation in Turkey as some analysts reveal is likened to the Nazi era just prior to the holocaust. Erdogan wants the annihilation, a <strong>literal holocaust, of all of his opponents</strong>."</p><p>And this month, Erdogan called to "behead" his opponents, just as we said he will state.</p><p>Ridding Turkey of the grand Mufti who was appointed by the previous administration means that a new Caliphate order is on the horizon.

This demonic image is a ziggurat with people climbing up a bridge to heaven where the Hilal (crescent) is carried by seven statues signifying Turkey’s seven regions united.

The Republican People’s Party (CHP) opposition slammed the move as a step violating Turkey’s secular civil code.</p><p>Erdogan’s Turkey now enjoys unprecedented popularity among the residents of eastern Jerusalem. Turkish flags are often seen hanging from rooftops in the eastern part of the city and even on the Temple Mount itself, and Turkish culture is being revived, which is reflected in Turkish language courses, Turkish music and Turkish cuisine.

The German media daily reveals the obvious which makes one think that Europe is awakening from its slumber. The prominent Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dw.com/ar/صحف-ألمانية-سلطنة-أردوغان-تقول-وداعا-لأوروبا/a-39765778">says</a> that "Turkey is a member of NATO, which defines itself as a value-based alliance, and formally Turkey is still in negotiations to join the EU, and Turkey can be a partner of Western democracies in Europe and North America. The coup attempt a year ago turned Turkey into a partner thirsty for revenge and a <strong>hostile enemy</strong>." In the opinion of the newspaper, the Turkish president "goes on his own path; he is moving away from the West and abandoning the rule of law and freedom and human rights and is going towards autocracy (the rule of one person) and <strong>worship of the leader</strong> and the establishment of the Republic of Erdogan."</p><div style="width: 811px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img alt="" height="538" src="http://p5.focus.de/img/fotos/origs6700124/4325493375-w630-h423-o-q75-p5/erdogan.jpg" width="801" /><p class="wp-caption-text">"Worship of the leader" alright. Harlots (with Hijab or Hijabless) will always hover over tyrants like flies over dung. Erdogan is already considered for worship by Muslims who believe that the essence of Erdogan is the essence of God Himself.</p></div><p>Tageszeitung says that "since the coup attempt a year ago, the Turkish president has been rapidly rebuilding the state to become an Islamic dictatorship, but Germany and the European Union are leaving things at this point by simply issuing conservative warnings, a betrayal of tens of thousands of political detainees and democrats. Turkey, who only observes the acts of a tyrant without doing anything that makes himself a partner with him."</p><p>Today Turkey’s top-priority agenda in the first months of 2017 has been the amendment of the Constitution aiming to change the political system to an executive presidency model as Daniel warned that Antichrist will "change set laws". The Bible also warns that the ones who abandoned God's covenant (this would be fallen Christendom) will aid him. So while the news is telling you that Germany’s government is signaling to Turkey that its patience is running out, and that it can hit back against escalating provocations threatening to burn its bridges with its NATO ally, reality is that tensions between Ankara and the EU (especially Germany) are subsiding.</p><p>The Bible is always correct. People who read the daily media need to stop focusing on the expert opinions and start following, not just the money, but the growing ideology combined with the desire for insatiable power. In a meeting in the Maltese capital of Valletta two months ago, EU foreign ministers chose to disregard calls from within their ranks (from Austria) and from the European Parliament for an end to or suspension of talks on Turkey’s EU membership because the country has strayed from the democratic path. The leniency accorded Turkey by EU foreign ministers caught the naive by surprise. EU ministers even went a step further during their informal meeting — known in EU jargon as the “Gymnich” — and they even threw an olive branch to Ankara. The more that Turkey turned Islamist, the more that the fallen West supported it. This will be the case no matter who is in charge of the Western world, be it Donald Trump or anyone else for that matter. The Bible already declared that the kings of the earth will copulate with Antichrist.</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium" height="800" src="https://media3.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2017_20/2002041/170516-trump-erdogan-joint-statement-ew-143p_c19a9419ff307d4e2eed0284accb774a.nbcnews-fp-1200-800.jpg" width="1200" /></p><p>The EU is not formally rejecting to the changes that will make Erdogan Turkey’s sole ruler. In her statement after the meeting, Federica Mogherini, the EU’s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, said they "respected the result of the referendum” even though the Council of Europe’s Venice Commission and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) had flagged voting irregularities. Turkey’s strategic importance for the West has yet again trumped European desires to put Erdogan on notice. It’s almost as if they are saying to Erdogan ‘Do what you want, as long as you don’t harm our interests,’” retired Ambassador Oguz Demiralp said, adding that this also suits Ankara.</p><p>German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said prior to the start of the Valletta Gymnich that his government was "strictly against breaking off the accession talks” with Turkey, indicating that this would be a “completely wrong reaction.”</p><p>"In NATO, we did not exclude Turkey even during the times of military dictatorship. Why should we now have an interest in pushing it in the direction of Russia?" he said to reporters.</p><p>French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault seconded Gabriel. "How can we ignore Turkey? Nobody wants a breakup with Turkey,” Ayrault said, pointing to the fight against terrorism and dealing with Syrian refugees among the key areas where cooperation with Ankara is vital.</p><p>Mogherini added, “I think I am on the record in the last couple of years as saying that Turkey is not only a candidate country, [but also] that Turkey is ... a strategic partner for the European Union on many different things."</p><p>NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg also underlined Turkey’s strategic importance for the West, especially regarding relations with Russia: “Without doubt, NATO would suffer from weakness without Turkey,” he said, adding, “Turkey is a key country for the security of Europe.”</p><p>When ignorants criticized us for saying that Antichrist could come from Turkey they objected "how could this be when Antichrist is supposed to rule the world?"</p><p>But nowhere does scripture say Antichrist rules the whole globe. Scripture basically says that the kings of the earth will submit to his will. Indeed, even the most powerful leaders do. Apparently there is news fed for popular consumption, than there is the hidden reality most do not seek. While the media talks about Turkey's accelerated drift from Europe, Germany still favors a special status for Turkey rather than full membership - based on stronger economic cooperation.</p><p>"We don’t want to close the door on Turkey; a customs union, for example, maybe that can be expanded,” said Manfred Weber, a German MEP and the head of centre-right EPP, the largest political group in the European Parliament. “Maybe more economic cooperation, maybe we open our doors to students," he added.</p><p><img class=" aligncenter" height="519" src="http://www.osthessen-zeitung.de/fileadmin/user_upload/erdogan-2215259_960_720.jpg" width="779" /></p><p>The more Erdogan pushes, the more Europe opens its legs and its gates. The European Union, especially Germany, are leaving things to this point by simply issuing warnings. But the world is known to observe the acts of a tyrant without doing anything, even becoming partners with him. And while the populist mentality talks about ousting "the elitists," in Turkey, Erdogan's supporters replaced the elitists with its own "upper class" the <em>Anatolian Tigers</em>. These are from Islamist families who have no aristocratic roots or intellectual interests. They only have capital for their business.</p><p>What we see is Islamic politics and the transformation of the Milli Görüş (National Outlook Movement—NOM) parties to the AKP Justice and Development Party. This transformation contributed to the emergence of a neo-Islamic bourgeoisie. The nascent bourgeois contributed to the strengthening of political Islam in Turkey that the rise of the AKP into power heralded the empowerment of neo-Ottoman bourgeoisie, and in return, the neo-Ottoman bourgeoisie gave Islamist Turkey an image of relative moderation of political Islam and enabled the consolidation of power. Again, Turkey's brand of Islam is more deceptive, colorful, modernesque, unifying and appealing to modernist Muslims and to western hopefuls.</p><p>People forget that money and power talks for a reason: ideology. This is especially the case, since the value of trade between the EU and Turkey currently amounts to €140 billion per year, while the EU generates two-thirds of foreign direct investment in Turkey, Turkey is also the EU’s fifth-largest partner in trade in goods.</p><p>Europe is kowtowing to Turkey. This is the case regardless and despite that the priority issue in Turkey’s agenda in the first months of 2017 has been the amendment of the Constitution aiming to change the political system to an executive presidency model. The Turkish Grand National Assembly approved the Constitutional reform package embodying amendment of 18 Articles of the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey (Law No. 6771). The package was approved with 339 votes in favour, 142 against. This gets to show that in reality three fourths of Turkey supports Erdogan's changes.</p><p>And Turkey's focus on expanding will be revealed in the coming years. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on several occasions criticized the Treaty of Lausanne, which created the borders of modern Turkey, for leaving the country too small. Erdogan also expressed his interest in the fate of Turkish minorities living beyond Turkey's borders, as well as its historic claims to the Iraqi city of Mosul and he even positioned a small military base there and alongside Syria and is also engaging in mock dogfights with Greek planes over the Aegean Sea.</p><p>Erdogan's actions including all the rhetoric coming out of Turkey offers some insight into Turkey’s future policies. The maps used in Turkish media and maps that purport to show the borders laid out in Turkey’s National Pact, a document Erdogan recently suggested the prime minister of Iraq should read to understand his country’s interest in Mosul.</p><div style="width: 1187px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img alt="" height="982" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jNXDMyBCOsU/maxresdefault.jpg" width="1177" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Muslim Turks peacefully threatening world peace</p></div><p>For one to know Turkey's plans all one has to do is study this document in light of Turkey's latest policies. Signed in 1920, after the Ottoman Empire’s defeat in World War I, the National Pact identified those parts of the empire that the government was prepared to fight for. Specifically, it claimed those territories that were still held by the Ottoman army in October 1918 when Constantinople signed an armistice with the allied powers. On Turkey’s southern border, this line ran from north of Aleppo in what is now Syria to Kirkuk in what is now Iraq.</p><p>People need to read Ezekiel 29 instead of their preference to only read chapter 38. Ezekiel calls Antichrist "King of Babylon". Therefore, we should pay closer attention to Ezekiel 29:18. In Ezekiel, this man also rules Egypt and North Africa as well.</p><p>Germany, in reality, is elated at Turkey's advance. Why? Most do not consider that Germany seeks better partners than southern Europe and wants to lead the E.U. to further cooperate in trade more with Turkey and Japan instead of southern Europe, which Germany despises for draining Germany's money. In fact everything they do is in line with that agenda.</p><p>"There has been the suggestion too of flying the flags of deficit sinners at half mast in front of EU buildings," the member of <a class="text-link-int lp-text-link-int" title="Chancellor Angela Merkel's" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/woe-is-the-euro-merkel-faces-myriad-pitfalls-in-bailout-vote-a-785135.html">Chancellor Angela Merkel's</a> conservative Christian Democrats told one paper pointing to the PIGS as 'deficit sinners'. The <em>PIGS</em> is the acronym originally refers, often derogatorily, to the economies of the Southern European countries of <em>Portugal</em>, <em>Italy</em>, Greece, and Spain, what were once centers of Orthodoxy and Catholicism.</p><p class="p38"><span class="s2">The French </span><span class="s21">sociologist</span><span class="s22"> and </span><span class="s21">political scientist</span><span class="s22"> at the </span><span class="s21">National Institute of Demographic Studies</span><span class="s22"> in </span><span class="s21">Paris, Emmanuel Todd, </span><span class="s2">warns that Germany is “increasingly pursuing politics of power and of hidden expansion.” </span></p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter"><span class="s2">"In reality, the French imposed the idea of the E.U on Germany, which Germany reluctantly accepted and turned it into a very efficient, German economic instrument.

We now have a Europe under the control of Germany and its Baltic and European sidekicks. Under German supervision Europe has been transformed into a system of hierarchies, authoritarian and ‘austeritarian.’ Tsipiras polarizes this northern Europe against southern Europe; the confrontation comes down to Tsipras and Schauble [the German finance minister]. Europe is in the process of splitting down the middle. Regardless of what their governments are saying, I am willing to bet that the Italian people, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, even the English are feeling enormous closeness to Tsipras.</span></p></blockquote><p class="p45"><span class="s2">Look to Germany’s history the same way you look to Ottoman history and you will see how it has been the cause for so much war and bloodshed: The German Arians’ invasion of the Roman Empire, all of the violence that came as a result of the German Protestant Reformation, WW1 and WW2. History is a mirror that stares at the face of the future. Looking to Germany’s history, there is no sign that it will suddenly change into a nation of peace. As Todd explains:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p46"><span class="s2">The tragic reality of the situation is that Europe is a continent which, during the twentieth century, periodically committed suicide under the supervision of Germany. First there was the Great War, and then there was World War Two. Now it is a much wealthier continent, more peaceable, demilitarized, aging, arthritic. And in a context where things are slowing down, we are witnessing, like a replay, Europe’s third self-destruction, once again under the supervision of Germany.</span></p></blockquote><p class="p45"><span class="s2">Todd <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.internationalboulevard.com/greek-crisis-an-excess-of-rationality-leading-to-collective-madness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">makes</a> a fascinating observation: the conflict between Germany and Southern Europe transcends economics, and is rooted in the historical clash between Protestant Europe and Catholic Europe:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p45"><span class="s2">The political strongholds of the German Social Democrats are in the Protestant regions of Germany. They are even further to the north, even more antagonistic toward the “merry-go-round Catholics” of the continent’s south. </span><span class="s2">In the end, what it comes down to is not at all a left-right conflict, it is a cultural conflict as ancient as Europe itself. </span><span class="s2">I have no doubt that if the ghost of [prominent French historian] Fernand Braudel were to emerge from his grave, he would say that we are seeing once again the appearance of the frontiers of the Roman empire. </span><span class="s2">Countries that are really influenced by Roman universalism find themselves instinctively siding with a reasonable Europe, meaning a Europe whose natural inclinations are not toward authoritarianism and masochism, but a Europe that understands that austerity plans are self destructive, suicidal. </span><span class="s2">On the other side there is the Europe that is more inclined toward the Lutheran world; which is the world of two-thirds of Germany, most of the Baltic and Scandinavian countries, and you might add to it the Polish sidekick; even though Poland is Catholic, it never belonged to the Roman Empire. Really, what is surfacing is something extraordinarily deep.” </span></p></blockquote><p class="p45"><span class="s2">During the Thirty Years’ War, that most violent war between German Protestants and European Catholics, the Germans wanted to invade Catholic Poland with 400,000 troops, and made an agreement with the Turkish Ottoman Muslim Empire in which the Islamics agreed to give 60,000 troops for the exchange of an annual tribute to the Sultan. </span></p><p class="p45"><span class="s2">Many are carried away by the rise of anti-Muslim immigration and nationalism in Europe, but to God, He is no respecter of national rhetoric just as He is no respecter of persons. A Christian is to render unto God what is God's while he renders unto his nation what is his nation's. Germany gives an appearance that it is anti-Muslim immigration. But if Germany was so anti-Muslim immigration, why did Germany open the floodgates while it paid billions in tribute to Erdogan? In the East we have a saying, if you want to murder someone, make sure you attend his funeral. Today, we have the Germans working with the same Turkey, supporting countless Muslim refugees in their invasion, and pushing Poland to open its borders for these invaders while it screams about Turkey's tyranny saying to 'beware of refugees'. </span></p><p class="p45"><span class="s2">In other words, trust what you see Germany <em>does</em> and never trust what Germany <em>says.</em> In fact always assume the opposite of what they say is the truth.</span></p><p>Then we have the "America First" policy by Donald Trump, which sheds more evidence to this dark reality. In reality Trump's "America First" was great news for Germany. "America First" has already and greatly served Germany's interests. The regular Trump-loving American Joe ignores that Germany is advancing with Japan and Turkey to further their influence. Questioning why does the United States still guarantee the security of Germany and Japan (which roused up many naive Americans) simply signaled European allies to now make the grand excuse. Germany and Japan are now saying to their people that they better make defense plans that don’t include Washington. The regular American Joe is ignorant of the basic facts.</p><p>Since World War II, the world's political and legal systems have been built around preventing Turkey, Germany and Japan from going into war with a fairly impressive record of success. To begin meddling with NATO, the E.U, NAFTA and the Sykes Picot accord, this spells exactly what this evil-trio will cause: war. While Americans hail all these policies they do not realize that the mechanism holding the power of Antichrist is being removed: "<span id="en-NIV-29668" class="text 2Thess-2-6">And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.</span> <span id="en-NIV-29669" class="text 2Thess-2-7">For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.</span><span id="en-NIV-29670" class="text 2Thess-2-8"><sup class="versenum"> </sup>And then the lawless one will be revealed" (2 Thessalonians 2:6-8). Keep in mind that 2 Thessalonians 2 is not just about removing power-pegs, but is about the grand falling away of the church, the main power peg that held Christendom together. It is now being removed out of the way by corrupting it. All this becomes the mechanism of self-destruction. This is exactly what we are witnessing: a terrifying reality while all think 'peace'. </span></p><p>With every period when the world says "peace" the system has been built-up towards a violent reckoning. This is what God basically said that "when they say peace and safety sudden destruction comes as travail upon a woman with child; <strong>and they shall not escape</strong>." (1 Thessalonians 5:3)</p><p><img class=" aligncenter" height="499" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Bv4Ymb3wijE/U_kM3yvRhKI/AAAAAAAB_wk/JuwGqVfWHRE/w469-h339/10403455_561034550676678_9044116329289401276_n.jpg" width="690" /></p><p>So who benefits most from the Trump foreign policy? This month the leaders of the European Union and Japan have agreed in principle on a free trade deal that is to create the world’s largest open economic area, slightly overtaking even NAFTA.</p><p>There are no vacuums. Remove the guards carrying pegs or a plowshare and you will replace these with others, but this time they will be wielding swords.</p><p>The European Union and Japan combined are responsible for over 30% of the world’s GDP and 40% of global trade. The EU-Japan Free Trade Agreement, the talks for which started back in 2013, was hammered out after US President Donald Trump’s decision to pull the US out of the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP). And with Turkey we should be witnessing an evil triangle. It is Japan and not China that is the center of gravity in Asia (second largest economy in the world) with a larger navy than China's. Turkey is the largest economy and military power in the Muslim world with the most powerful military in Europe and with influence reaching throughout central Asia.</p><p>What is different this time in history, when it comes to a showdown between the West and Islamic powers is this: today we do not have the alliance of conservative forces in Europe that thwarted Islam and kept the peace after the Napoleonic Wars. Today Christendom is wealthy materially but is morally corrupt to the core. Today the West contains the seeds of its own destruction: moral decrepitude. To understand how degenerate the West has become one has to ask a simple question: if sustaining life one must eat, how then could life be sustained effectively if society dismisses the moral decrepitude by dismissing homosexual perversion? Homosexuality prohibits the main key to life by procreation. Many counter-argue that today the world is 4% homosexual, but these forget that within the millennium generation its 7% to soon be 10%.</p><p>Such statistics where one says that this rate is low ignores yet another crucial element: with <em>bisexuality </em>and the <em>low birthrates amongst heterosexuals, the West is on a destructive path.</em></p><p>Most ignore that being 'bisexual' is still homosexual and these have even a higher rate. In Israel, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_sexual_orientation">for example</a>, the rate of bisexuals in 2012, found that 11.3% of men and 15.2% of women self-reported attraction to the same-gender while in the U.S. 17.4% in one <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/07/health/bisexuality-on-the-rise/index.html">recent survey</a> compared with 14.2% in the 2006-2010 survey.</p><div style="width: 713px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img alt="" height="527" src="https://www.advocate.com/sites/advocate.com/files/2015/08/31/ISRAELISX400.jpg" width="703" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Israel today</p></div><p>It is the conversion of mass populations to Sodom.

CSE programs have an almost obsessive focus on teaching children how to obtain sexual pleasure in various ways, including through masturbation, anal and oral sex, and homosexual sex. The ultimate goal is to change the sexual and gender norms of society, which is why CSE could be more accurately called “abortion, promiscuity, and LGBT rights education.”</p><div style="width: 813px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img alt="" height="530" src="http://inews.gtimg.com/newsapp_match/0/51293241/0" width="803" /><p class="wp-caption-text">It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.</p></div><p>The World Health Organization’s standards for sexuality education for Europe recommended teaching children from age of 4 years old about masturbation, ages 4-6 about “different norms regarding sexuality,” ages 6-9 about “different methods of contraception” and “love towards people of the same sex,” ages 9-12 about “pleasure, masturbation, and orgasm,” and “sexual rights as defined by the International Planned Parenthood Federation,” ages 12-15 about “sexual orientation and gender identity,” ages 15 and up are to be taught “a critical view of different cultural/religious norms” and to accept and celebrate “sexual differences.”</p><p>To remove “barriers to sexuality education such as parental consent” is an actual quote from their report.</p><p>This whole 'homosexual' statistics is a farce. A bisexual is a homosexual/lesbian and nothing more. Let me bluntly simplify this: if a hairy man sees another man as 'appealing', than to these, any hole will do. So from the bottomless pit these come and to the bottomless pit they go.</p><p><strong>WHAT MUST CHRISTIANS DO AND WILL THE WEST RE-ARISE UNDER THE BANNER OF CHRISTENDOM?</strong><br />Answer: It won't. Not under national banners or "America First," populism, or the pro-homosexuality so-called conservatives. What will initially happen is the collision between nations without the banner of the cross. Armageddon is no Christian holy war, but a war where the world, without God converge in Israel for war and then God's judgment. Without God's intervention the world would be completely exterminated. Why else would Christ return unless the earth be no more? However, Christ will return to only rescue the Church and to <em>exterminate only the wicked, all of them, every single one.</em></p><p>For the true Christians today (and these by then will be few), there are no sides to stand with. This is why I am neither for east or west, for south or for north, but for above. Christ will raise seven shepherds and will come down and go with "whirlwinds of the south," He will conquer "the North" and destroy all the wicked (Zechariah 9). Love the Cross for its goes in all "four winds" and "four ends of the heavens". The Cross is not a circular crescent which resembles all cults including their circular arguments. The Lamb of God chose to be slain on the Cross for a reason.</p><p><img class="aligncenter size-medium" height="551" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/cb/83/a0/cb83a0a84bfe7ade4ce58124b742ff2e--roman-catholic-catholic-churches.jpg" width="736" /></p><p>There are still a few decades ahead of us and Armageddon is not next year or the year after. Do not be fooled by quick-sale books. The West will have its splits were populism, ultra-nationlism, national socialism, neopaganism (Egypt) and Sodom will be its main religion and is why the Christendom is called "Sodom and Egypt" (Rev 11). In Europe, the more north you go the more the falling away. This is not a time for the legitimate wise to send their children to join the military to die for "our way of life". What way of life? Christians must remain mostly indoors keeping their children secluded. Hope and pray Christ comes quickly to exterminate the wicked.</p><p>So what should Christians do in the meanwhile? When I began to see the world's growing wickedness, I simply did one thing to protect my children: c<em>omplete isolation from the world</em>. Thats it. Get them off the iPhone and all zombie gadgets. Such gadgets will only destroy them.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/tdz4DvDG_gg?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p>The more one isolates their children the better. Forget worrying that your kids will not have 'friends'. They do not need them. They have you. Tell me how many of your childhood friends do you still see? That is, you need to spend all the time off with your wife and children. Forget going on vacation with your spouse only and take the kids with you.</p><p>I quickly realized that the worst place for a child to be in is in the school, yet home-schooling by sharing other parents to educate your kids is no best solution either since you should trust no one with your kids. No one. To live in seclusion is not something westerners can easily do. For our family it was a Mexican village-born wife and me being a very stubborn village-born Palestinian from Bethlehem. It was the perfect combination. Both of us were well accustomed to simple living so we pulled it off and our children came out Christian 'fanatics' thanks be to God. Theodore at times goes on overdrive and needs break pads for his tongue but thats okay since he is still young. While we had to supervise closely what they went through in school we made sure that we ate dinner together and talked and played for hours. Forget 'quality time' and just spend time being an example. A family is a wolf-pack where the man is the alpha-male. We did everything together. I even made sure the kids watch when Alpha male had to discipline a strayed wolf trying to influence the kids. This way they too learn how to defend their future family. This was the liberal school teachers who had to endure hell from me when they defied my instruction 'hey teacher leave my kids alone'.</p><p>People think that they need a manual on living and raising children. The first thing I trained my kids was to acquire all the negative labels westerners can dish out: <em>homophobia</em>, <em>Islamophobia</em>, <em>fanaticism</em>, <em>outdatedness</em>, <em>xenophobia</em> ... the more labels these strayed wolves dished out, the better, and when teachers or principles messed with the kids these endured the wrath of the alpha-male: me. I didn't worry about confrontations since I lost count when I was growing up in Bethlehem how many bloody noses I gave, fist-fights every week and learned daily how to be patient, super-stubborn, super-feisty and persistent. In my past, I faced machine-guns confronting Israeli paratroopers and now confronting school teachers was a breeze. If only Christians can take Palestinian persistence and direct it to persist in restoring Christianity, they can cleanse the church from all of its filth. At times, like Christ, we must carry whips; the whip of the pen, the zeal for Christ and the steadfastness of the saints.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/k0rD2qBqYmg?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&start=18&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p>So whenever a teacher or principle wronged my kids I hailed threats of breaking legs and punching teeth and when these asked "are you threatening me" I always replied with "what part of threat do you not understand?" And I meant it. These are children these wolves were trying to corrupt. To most Americans what I am writing here sounds like savagery, but try dealing with your kids converted to become little-tyrants where souls end up in hell which is much worse than you leveling your stupid labels at me. I never had a teacher or principle fail to comply when I told them to stop harassing my kids with their strange ideology.</p><p>Not all school principles were bad. When Theodore would go to the school library and throw decrepit books into the trash and was finally caught, the principle (after Theodore debated his reasons) would leave him alone.</p><p>Getting in trouble for defending your children is a worthwhile endeavor. At one American school the principle had to chain the gate and I was there anyway yelling 'open the gates' while the principle coward.</p><p>Again, the man is the alpha male and my wife and children were not just a 'part of my life', these were <em>all my life</em>. A family is one's all investment. In Luke 17 it says "It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble." Amazingly, in the same chapter where Christ warns about causing children to stumble, in three words reminds “Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32). <span class="red">“It was <strong>the same in the days of Lot</strong>. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.</span> <span class="red">But <strong>the day Lot left Sodom</strong>, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and <strong>destroyed them all</strong>.” (Luke 17:28-29)</span></p><p>Stop buying into the fads. Armageddon is not brought by an economic collapse: "they were buying and selling, planting and building". The only ones who are not allowed to buy or sell are the Christians who reject the mark of Antichrist. Get that through your thick skull and stop wasting money buying useless prophecy books. Become super-frugal and live like your grandparents did during the great depression. Even the great depression where unemployment reached 25% is laughable to me coming from a village where unemployment was at times 50%. In Bethlehem when the electricity went out for a month people united under candles. Yet in the U.S. when total-blackouts went on for a day, people ravished the stores. So keep up your love for the gun.</p><p>Therefore, the solution to what you see around you is simple; whatever the world wants you to fear harness, and whatever it wants you to adapt to, spit on, and just walk away. However much people get angered with you enjoy watching their anger. Make sure you are the bitter herb in their drink. Worry more when people accept you then hate you. Always go the opposite direction just to piss the world off being as stubborn as a pit-bull dog in a fight. It is only then that you will find true freedom and happiness. If the world says that success is to make more money, then try to live on less, and tell them to shove their success where the sun doesn't shine. If the world tells you that the key to happiness is to gain acceptance and toys, then try your best to gain rejection. When we expose our enemies and they do not respond because they 'wrote us off' it even makes things a lot simpler: now I have less opposition while I watch them tape their mouths while I expose them. Mission accomplished. To me it makes zero difference how the world reacts to what I say or write since I am on a single mission: <em>running the marathon</em>. A marathon runner does not pay attention to the clapping or booing crowd, he makes it to the finish line and then dances like a man.</p><p>If the world says 'do this' and 'do that' or else you face shaming, arm-twisting and even annihilation, then lose your life. It is only then that you will finally gain it.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/tZcuhZa0rns?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p>

Thousands of women have been gang raped, and even men are forced to be sodomized by homosexual soldiers. They also have taken men and shoved needles into their testicles. One woman cried out: "Satan went through me the day I was raped". The spirit of Sodom possess these evil vehicles of the demons, and we see what savagery Lot himself witnessed before God struck the Sodomites with fire. As we read in <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/satan-went-through-me-the-day-i-was-raped-woman-loses-faith-amid-gang-rapes-in-south-sudan-193313/">report</a> on this hell on earth:</p><blockquote><p>A report has detailed the horrific mass-scale gang-rapes, genital mutilations, and other violence that is gripping South Sudan in the midst of its civil war. Some badly traumatized victims say they have lost their faith as a result.</p><p>"Satan went through me the day I was raped," a woman named Nyagai said in the Amnesty Intentional "Do not remain silent" report, which was released Monday. Nyagai no longer attends church and has stopped praying.</p><p>The report states that there have been thousands of children and women, and some men, raped in the young nation since December 2013, in what is largely an ethic conflict between Dinka forces loyal to President Salva Kiir, and the opposition Nuer forces of Riek Machar.</p><p>"This is pre-meditated sexual violence on a massive scale. Women have been gang-raped, sexually assaulted with sticks and mutilated with knives," said Muthoni Wanyeki, Amnesty International's regional director for East Africa, the Horn and the Great Lakes.</p><p>"These indefensible acts have left the victims with debilitating and life-changing consequences, including physical injuries and psychological distress. Many survivors have also been shunned by their husbands and in-laws and stigmatized by the wider community," Wanyeki added.</p><p>Amnesty interviewed 168 victims of sexual violence, including 16 men, for the report, and shared of one case where an assailant mutilated a woman's vagina with a knife after raping her as punishment for resisting, which led to her death four days later.</p><p>"Civilian men have also been attacked.

In 2013, South Sudan broke out into Civil War, with Dinkas and Neurs — the two biggest ethnic groups in South Sudan — killing each other over power and territory.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It turns out that Omar al-Bashir, the Islamist leader of North Sudan, has been arming rebels against Salva Kiir’s government.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">As we read in a report published by <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/06/02/is-khartoum-sending-weapons-to-rebels-in-south-sudan/"><span class="s2">Foreign Policy</span></a>, “more than 70 percent of the sample of the opposition’s ammunition was manufactured in Sudan, with the vast majority made in 2014, indicating the deliveries were recent. The cartridges match those airdropped by Khartoum to Séléka rebels who overthrew the government in the Central African Republic in 2013 and to ammunition allegedly provided by Sudan to Yau Yau rebels in South Sudan in 2012. Damage to some of the materiel recovered in South Sudan indicates that it was likely airdropped to the rebels, which eyewitnesses claim occurred in September and October 2014.”</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">North Sudan has been perpetuating the conflict, in order to make itself to be the hero and justify invading the South under the guise of intervening and restoring order. Just this month, the dictator of North Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, said that he <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.eyeradio.org/sudan-ready-intervene-sudan-avert-war-famine-bashir/"><span class="s2">is ready</span></a> to send troops into South Sudan to ‘restore order.’ “We are really concerned about what is happening in South Sudan, and we feel that we have the ethical responsibility towards the normal citizens in South Sudan because they were our citizens in one state, we are the government and the political party which make the peace agreement that led to the separation. So we will intervene to stop the war and famine in South Sudan,’’ Bashir said.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">All of these governments do such things. Its all part of a conspiracy. Germany brought in refugees and allowed terrorists to enter in order to justify militarism; Turkey supported ISIS so that they could make a pretext to “intervene” into Syria and Iraq, and of course they ultimately plan on conquering all of that territory. North Sudan is utilizing this same type of strategy in their wanting to invade South Sudan. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sudan has been called the “arm’s dump” of Africa. It was a country that had a huge absorption and circulation of arms way before South Sudan succeeded in 2011. When South Sudan did split, there was an estimated 3.2 million small arms being used in that country. In 2010 and 2011, numerous rebel and militia groups began popping up in the Jonglei and Upper Nile states, and the ownership and possession of guns has been precipitously increasing partially due to this.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">In the civil war in South Sudan, you have hired militias, paramilitaries, rebels, bandits and even foreign fighters, with the global arms trade and smuggling deeply fueling the violence. But who is a major player behind the circulation of arms in Sudan? Germany. Former West Germany started a weapons flow into Muslim dominated North Sudan. Germany even built an ammunition factory in Khartoum, which is the capital of North Sudan today. In the 1980s, East Germany (under the Soviet Union) responded to the West German’s distribution of arms into the north, by sending weapons into the more Christian dominated South Sudan. As we read in <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/02/-sp-africa-arms-dump-south-sudan"><span class="s2">one report:</span></a></span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Meanwhile, research has shown the international role in weapon supply, with former West Germany introducing automatic small arms in vast numbers to Sudan, which, until then, mainly had old British carbines. West Germany also set up the ammunition factory in Sheggera, Khartoum, in effect, providing the bullets to keep the guns firing. In the 1980s, East Germany responded by supplying the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) with AK47s via Ethiopia. In this way, Cold War animosities were played out in the Greater Horn of Africa.”</span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The West Germans and the Soviets used Sudan to do a cold war against each other. In 1956, Sudan became independent from Anglo-Egyptian rule, and had its own first government. Ibrahim Abboud, a Sudanese general who served in the Second World for the British, became the head of state of Sudan in 1958. Abboud conducted a policy of Arabization all throughout South Sudan, which pushed English out in favor for Arabic, forbade missionaries from opening Christian schools or practicing their faith outside of churches. Southern Sudanese, tired of this discrimination, began to voice their remonstrances against Abboud’s despotic impositions. Southerners formed a very influential committee called the National Front of Professionals consisting of Christians, Muslims and communists, and began to do <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/sudanese-bring-down-dictator-abbud-october-revolution-1964"><span class="s2">mass strikes</span></a> which eventually exhausted Abboud’s administration. In 1964, the campaign strikes finally ended with Abboud abdicating his power and with the establishment of a transitional government.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">In the same year of 1964, not too long after the ousting of Abboud, the new transitional government of Sudan sent weapons, supplied by Germany, to the Simba rebels in the Congo. When the Simba rebels were defeated in 1965, those same German weapons were in the possession of the South Sudanese Anyanya separatist group. After the failed 1976 coup in Khartoum against President Jaafar Mohammed Al Nimeiri, thousands of small arms and other weapons ended up in the hands of the local population in western Sudan. After 1983, Muammar Gaddafi actually armed opposition forces in South Sudan on account of his hatred against Al Nimeiri.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">By removing Gaddafi, it strengthened Omar al-Bashir, the Islamist dictator of Sudan who is responsible for the deaths of millions of Christians and non-Arab Muslims. In fact, in 2012, Omar al-Bashir said that the removal and murder of Ghadaffi was “the best gift,” <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.france24.com/en/20120107-sudan-bashir-visit-libya-national-transitional-council-gaddafi"><span class="s2">saying</span></a> that:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">"We came to thank the Libyan thwars (revolutionaries) for what they gave us, the best gift to Sudan in its modern history”</span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Ibrahim al-Hillu, of Darfur's Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) faction headed by Abdelwahid Nur, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.france24.com/en/20120107-sudan-bashir-visit-libya-national-transitional-council-gaddafi"><span class="s2">called</span></a> for the Libyan government to arrest Bashir for crimes that his regime had committed in Darfur:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">"We are calling for the Libyan authorities to arrest Bashir and send him to the ICC because he committed crimes against his people in Darfur”</span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Gaddafi was arming rebels against the North Sudanese government, and by removing him, it was only to the glee of a genocidal Bashir. There is a conspiracy here. For when South Sudanese leader, Silva Kir, was sending arms to Dafur for rebels who wanted to overthrow the Islamist tyrant, the Obama administration pressured South Sudan to cease its arms flow to the opposition forces. <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2012/08/13/obama-administration-supports-islamists-in-syria-but-stops-revolution-against-the-hitler-of-sudan/"><span class="s2">In August of 2012, I wrote a report</span></a> on how while the US government is arming Islamists in Syria, it has stopped the arming of rebels against an Islamist government in Sudan:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“The support of the rebels in Syria, and the condemnation of Assad, by the Obama administration can only make one question as to why he is against this particular regime, but not that of Omar al-Bashir, the tyrant who has been responsible for the deaths of millions through the Jihad that he has commenced against Christians and the non-Arab Muslims of Darfur.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">In fact, Obama had at one point in time prevented Salva Kiir, president of South Sudan, from aiding rebels who wanted to topple al-Bashir’s regimen, and replace it with a secular government.”</span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">In the same article, I quoted a former U.S. envoy to Sudan, Andrew Natsios, who recounted how Obama was directly involved in pushing Salva Kiir to stop giving arms to anti-Bashir rebels:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“On November 12, Agar, Hilu, and the three major rebel leaders in Darfur formally announced a new alliance to depose Bashir’s Islamist autocracy (the Sudanese affiliate of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood) and install a secular democratic pluralist state. Khartoum has accused the South Sudanese government of supplying the rebel alliance with weapons. The Obama administration repeated the charge. That led to an acrimonious meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and South Sudanese President Salva Kiir late last year. The South has since stopped weapons transfers.”</span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">What is happening here? Its a conspiracy. The US killed Gaddafi who was against Bashir; the US stopped weapons, which were going to be used to remove Bashir, while at the same time arming Islamist rebels in Syria; and Germany gave the Islamic North Sudan weapons. And now we know that North Sudan gave weapons to rebels in South Sudan to continue the conflict there. This is reflective of a global conspiracy being done by both African and Western nations. The nazis in suits never cease in devising evil, from paying terrorists for blood diamonds to further fund their operations to enslave people to dig for more shiny rocks, to supporting Islamist killers with weapons, they never stop their evil ways. I spoke with a Catholic priest who works in South Sudan, and he told me:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“The conflict in is about power and wealth and everybody in the region is conected: Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudán, European Union, China, USA, etc. Where there is oil, everybody wants to be in and get something.”</span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The tyrants of Shinar used slime to embed their bricks together when they built the Tower of Babel, that is, they used oil to build their edifice of despotism. Where there is oil, out from it comes riches, but where there lies the source of extravagance, there lies the source of vitriol. The black slime protrudes from the earth, and as the despots bask in the darkness of their gluttony, the cries of the innocent are heard from the same earth, crying out for justice. <span class="Apple-converted-space">   </span></span></p>

Buddhist Man Realizes That Buddhism Is A False Religion, Declares That Buddha Is A False God And Accepts Christ As His Lord And Savior. His Brother And Uncle Tie Him Up And Brutally Beat Him

<p>A Buddhist man in Laos rejected Buddhism after realizing that Christ is the Lord and Savior of Humanity, that He is the true God. His uncle and brother tied him up and brutally beat him. As we read in <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/young-laos-christian-tied-up-savagely-beaten-by-family-but-still-chooses-to-follow-jesus-193321/">one report</a>:</p><blockquote><p>A young Christian man in the Buddhist-majority nation of Laos said he was severely beaten by members of his own family because of his decision to choose to follow Jesus Christ.</p><p>Open Doors USA shared on Monday the story of Cheu, a 20-something who had to escape the "tyranny" brought by his own family because of his conversion to Christianity.</p><p>"One day, my brother and uncle came to me and lied to me. They invited me to go to their house which I agreed to without hesitation. Little did I know that when we arrived at my uncle's house, they would beat me and tie me up with a rope. They told me that I need to return to my old faith, they would continue to beat me," Cheu shared.</p><p>"They bound me with a rope with my hands behind my back. My brother, an average-sized man but with a solid build, used the side of his palms to hit my neck and face over and over again. I was tied from seven in the morning until seven at nigh."</p><p>The young man explained that his uncle and brother warned him that they will hit him until he is dead unless he renounced his Christian faith.</p><p>Cheu turned to God in prayer, asking Him to forgive his family and himself.</p><p>"After praying, I lied to my brother and uncle and other people and told them that I would return to my old faith. So they untied me. After they took off my ties, I slept at my house. I went to my wife very early the next morning to pick her up since my in-law's house is very far from my house," he explained.</p><p>"We hopped on a bus to escape and came here. Until now, my uncle and brother and my family still don't know where I am, and I heard that they are looking for me. I also heard that the village chief, my brother and uncle said that if I come back to our home in our village, they would hit me over and over again until I die."</p><p>Cheu and his wife have since been assisted by an evangelical church that is providing them and other persecuted Christians food, shelter, love and comfort.</p><p>"Though I miss my mother and despite what happened to me, I am still very happy that I believe in Jesus. I can worship Him and I can believe and I have peace in my heart. For me, I will stay here in this village and I will live here because I can worship and nurture my faith freely," Cheu said.</p><p>Open Doors, which reports on and helps persecuted believers around the world, lists Laos as 24th on its World Watch List of worst Christian persecutors. "Christians refusing to participate in Buddhist practices are perceived as foreign and a threat to traditional culture," Open Doors notes.</p><p>A number of stories of persecution in Laos have made international news.</p><p>Authorities arrested a Christian man for praying with a sick woman back in 2015, after which they denied him vital medication and watched him die.</p><p>Human Rights Watcher for Lao Religious Freedom said at the time that Tiang Kwentianthong, a Christian believer of Huey village in Atsaphangthong district of Savannakhet province, died from his diabetes condition and lack of treatment.</p><p>The 61-year-old father-of-six "continued to suffer severe diabetes. During his imprisonment ... he requested permission to be treated for his worsening diabetic condition but the prison officials denied his request," the group reported.</p><p>Tiang had reportedly been arrested nine months earlier when he and four other Christians prayed with a local woman who had recently converted to Christianity, but were caught without the necessary government approval to conduct public prayer.</p></blockquote><p> </p>

Upon learning that he was a Christian, his fellow soldiers and army officers beat the new recruit to death according to a recent report:</p><blockquote><p>Egyptian military officers beat a new soldier to death on July 19 upon learning that he was a Christian, relatives said.</p><p>Joseph Reda Helmy of Kafr Darwish village, Beni Sweif Province, had just completed initial army training and was transferred to the main unit, where three officers killed him, relatives told Egyptian media. The Egyptian army told relatives Helmy died of an epileptic seizure.</p><p>His father, Reda Helmy, told Al Karma TV by phone that his large, strong son had arrived at he camp at 2 p.m. and was dead by 8 p.m. In the same program, the deceased’s cousin, Youssef Zarif, said he received a message at 2 a.m. on July 20 from the Ministry of Interior to come and receive Helmy’s body.</p><p>When Zarif went to retrieve the body, he asked to meet an officer and was initially rebuffed. Eventually he met with an officer who told him that Helmy had died of an epileptic seizure. Zarif refused to believe the army explanation, saying Helmy was a healthy, quiet person loved by all in the village of Christians and Muslims.</p><p>He told Al Karma that the extensive bruising he found on the body did not look like those of an epileptic episode. He said Helmy had bruises on his head, shoulders, neck, back and genitalia, with the worst injuries occurring on his back.</p><p>The doctor who received the body refused to bow to pressure from those who brought it and reported that the cause of death was not natural, Zarif said. A prosecutor accompanying the family firmly concurred and demanded an investigation, he said.</p><p>Zarif said he thanked the doctor and prosecutor for not trying to cover up the truth.</p><p>The three officers who attacked his cousin are in custody and under investigation, he said. Zarif said he learned that the three officers began to harass Helmly because of Christian faith, and that the marks on his body indicate he was kicked him with their boots and hit with heavy instruments.</p><p>Another cousin, Malak Youakim, confirmed the killing to Alhorreya.TV. Youakim also said he was attacked for his Christian faith.<br />A Christian leader in Helmy’s home village said many there are in mourning.</p><p>“Many women are wearing black, a sign of mourning for the death of one of their Coptic youth,” he said. “Many are sharing the graphic pictures of the bruised body of Joseph Reda Helmy, a new draftee doing his military service.”</p><p>He said Helmy had been in the army for only month when he died on July 19.
