The brutal, worldwide persecution of Christians during the past year makes 2015 one of “the most violent and sustained attack on Christian faith in modern history,” according to a watchdog organization that has been monitoring Christian persecution for decades.

“Anyone who attempts to construe a personal view of God which conflicts with Church dogma must be burned without pity” Pope Innocent III

“And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:6 (KJV)

When the Roman Catholic Church was founded by the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D., it immediately achieved expansive influence at all levels of the imperial government. As Bible believing Christians separated themselves from the Church of Rome, which they saw as apostate, they represented a formidable potential threat to the official new imperial religion. Persecution in varying degrees of severity was instituted over the centuries following.

The Inquisition was an ecclesiastical court and process of the Roman Catholic Church setup for the purpose towards the discovery and punishment of heresy which wielded immense power and brutality in medieval and early modern times. The Inquisitions function was principally assembled to repress all heretics of rights, depriving them of their estate and assets which became subject to the ownership of the Catholic treasury, with each relentlessly sought to destroy anyone who spoke, or even thought differently to the Catholic Church. This system for close to over six centuries became the legal framework throughout most of Europe that orchestrated one of the most confound religious orders in the course of mankind.

In our day, the Inquisition against Christians is still being carried on but this time by Muslims in the Middle East instead of by the Catholic Church from Rome.

Open Doors, an organization founded in 1955 to assist persecuted Christians, publishes an annual “World Watch List,” documenting attacks on Christians and ranking the most hostile national environments for believers.

“The 2016 World Watch List documents an unprecedented escalation of violence against Christians, making this past year the most violent and sustained attack on Christian faith in modern history,” Open Doors CEO David Curry said at the rollout of the list.

Persecution in “continuing to increase, intensify and spread across the globe,” he said.

At the top of the Watch List, for the 14th consecutive year, stands North Korea, where an estimated 50,000 to 70,000 Christians are imprisoned in labor camps. Carrying on as one of the last holdouts of Communist totalitarianism, North Korea bears a particular hatred for Christians, who are a constant reminder of accountability to a higher power than the state.

“Christianity is not only seen as ‘opium for the people’ as is normal for all communist states,” the report says. “It is also seen as deeply Western and despicable.” During 2015, thousands of Christians living in North Korea were forced to renounce their faith or flee under threat of death.

As in the case with last year’s report, the vast majority of countries experiencing acute Christian persecution are Muslim nations. In 2015, nine out of the top ten countries where Christians suffer “extreme persecution” had populations that are at least 50 percent Muslim, a phenomenon replicated in 2016.

The 2015 report found that “Islamic extremism is by far the most significant persecution engine” of Christians in the world today and that “40 of the 50 countries on the World Watch List are affected by this kind of persecution.”

The 2016 list places Iraq in second place, immediately after North Korea, with horrific Islamic violence dominating news headlines during 2015. Throughout the year, Christians were forced to flee their homes by the thousands or be killed.

Just this week, the United Nations released an extensive report on Islamic State violence in Iraq, and estimates that ISIS currently holds some 3,500 people, mostly women and children, in the country.

The report, jointly issued by U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq and U.N. human rights office in Geneva, declared ISIS atrocities in Iraq to be “war crimes, crimes against humanity, and possibly genocide.”

Some of the crimes described in the report include executions by shooting, beheading, bulldozing, burning alive and throwing people off the top of buildings. The other nations making the top ten in Christian persecution are Eritrea, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Iran, and Libya, all of which have Muslim majorities.

The report underscores the geographical extent of Christian persecution, and Curry highlighted the global nature of the problem, noting that it has become more acute not just in a few isolated regions, but “in every continent in every country.”

“The levels of exclusion, discrimination and violence against Christians is unprecedented, spreading and intensifying,” Curry added. “Christians, longing to stay in their home countries, are being forced to flee for their lives and for their children’s lives,” he said. source

Healthy Third Grade Teacher Proudly Took The COVID Vaccine For Free Krispy Kreme Doughnut, Developed Congestive Heart Failure And Died Weeks Later

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Amanda McCurry, a longtime third-grade teacher at Oak Park Elementary School, died suddenly on Sept. 17, mere months after taking the COVID vaccine in exchange for a FREE Krispy Kreme doughnut

This is a heartbreaking story, and I think by this time, we all know people who took the COVID government injection, got sick shortly after and then died. This is why back in 2020, we began warning people, pleading with them actually, to not take the COVID vaccine, and yet the vast majority of people did. Today we bring you the story of Amanda McCurry, a beloved third grade teacher, who dutifully did as her government demanded, and paid for it with her life.  She died suddenly.

So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.” 2 Kings 4:40 (KJB)

Back in 2021, Fox News 54 reported that “Decatur City Schools is mourning the loss of a beloved teacher. Amanda McCurry was a longtime third-grade teacher at Oak Park Elementary School, as well as an AHSAA volleyball official. Mrs. McCurry was honored by WZDX as a Valley’s Top Teacher in 2019. Staff and students had nothing but nice things to say about her” She was loved by students and her peers alike, and put everything she had in to the job she had as a school teacher.

But Amanda was an early adopter of the COVID vaccine, as we see by her Facebook timeline which is still up. Let’s take a walk through her timeline to see if we can put the pieces together.

  • March 23rd: Mrs. McCurry posted a link to a promotion offered by Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for a FREE glazed doughnut after you show them your COVID vaccination card. She had just gotten hers.
  • July 30th: she posted this: ” I have been having some heart issues since April. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure because my ejection fraction (pumping) of my heart was found to be 25%, it’s supposed to be between 55-60%. I had no blockages when they did the heart cath.” She went from no health issues to a 25% heart pumping percentage in mere weeks after receiving the government COVID injection. Coincidence? You tell me.
  • September 3rd: she posted “Bring on the vaccine mandates, support America!!”
  • September 8th: Amanda posted a link to an article regarding mandatory COVID vaccine requirements that said in part “There will be new components that sure, will of course impact people across the country, but we’re also all working together to get the virus under control, to return to our normal lives,” she added. When asked if the new steps will affect Americans’ lives, Psaki said, “it depends on if you’re vaccinated or not.”
  • September 17th: beloved teacher and COVID vaccine advocate would be dead.

I personally know people who died this way, and people who didn’t die but became seriously injured by the vaccine. Our hearts go out to the McCurry family, and we hope this article serves as a warning that you cannot trust your government when they tell you a hastily-produced ‘vaccine’ that’s rushed through with hardly any concern or consideration for safety is the only thing that will save you. This was the greatest hoax in modern-day history, it was done purposefully and with malice aforethought. Just be ready when they try it again, because they absolutely will.

TRIUMPH OF THE WILL: Hundreds Of Anti-Israel Pro-Hamas Protesters Swarm New York University And Police Plaza HQ Chanting ‘Zionists Must Go!’

Anti-Israel protesters armed with flares marched toward NYPD headquarters late Monday night after the number of students arrested at NYU reportedly rose to over 150.

Things have gotten so bad for the Jews that any day now I am expecting to read reports of glass windows of Jewish storekeepers being smashed and yellow stars being once again affixed to the lapels of the hated Zionists. Lest you think I am using hyperbole, last night in New York City, hundreds of rioters chanting “Gaza, Gaza!!” and “Zionists Must Go!!” as they stormed the local universities as well as New York Police Headquarters, demanding the end of Israel and the extermination of the Jews from the Middle East. Suddenly, it’s 1933 all over again. Time to pick a side, Christian. I stand with the Zionists.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

I was not alive when Hitler came to power, so there is nothing I could do about all that. But I am alive right now, and God has given me a platform that reaches the whole world. Christian, don’t sit this one out on the sidelines, get in the game and be very vocal. Our Saviour is the King of the Jews, Jesus of Nazareth, and these are His chosen people caught in the crossfire. Stand for the Jew, stand with Israel, and be as much of a blessing to them as you can be. You will be graded on it later. A great place to start is by ordering a box of these ‘Love The Jewish People’ gospel tracts, and start handing them out where the Lord has planted you. If you have the guts.

Anti-Israel protesters carry flares to march on NYPD HQ after over 150 arrested at NYU

FROM THE NY POST: Videos of Monday night’s protests show demonstrators holding bright flares over their heads while marching toward One Police Plaza while others waved flags, banged drums and chanted “Gaza.”

Other clips show NYPD officers in riot gear monitoring protesters who chant “We will free Palestine, within our lifetime.”

By late Monday, more than 150 protesters had been arrested as the NYU camp was broken up, sources told PIX 11. The NYPD could not confirm that number early Tuesday. A spokesperson for NYU said “disorderly, disruptive and antagonizing” protesters packed Gould Plaza, prompting the university to send the NYPD a written request for them to intervene. Protesters were demanding NYU divest from weapons manufacturers and end the school’s relationship with Tel Aviv University. Some staff at the downtown university were also seen joining the rally.

Videos shared online allegedly show dozens of NYU faculty members linking arms to try and prevent the NYPD from moving in on the student’s encampment. On Sunday, a prominent rabbi at the school urged Columbia and Barnard students to stay home — and university officials told them they could take classes online.

Their protests also followed last week’s congressional hearing with Columbia President Minouche Shafik, who spoke about the university’s response to antisemitism. Dozens were also arrested at Yale Monday and other campsites have been pitched on campus quads from Michigan to Massachusetts. READ MORE

Social Media Erupts With Stories Of A Red Heifer Being Sacrificed In Israel For Passover, Will It Actually Happen? No, And Here’s Why It Won’t.

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Christians all across social media are buzzing about the possibility of a red heifer being sacrificed in Jerusalem for Passover, sorry to disappoint them

There is a group in Christianity today, I will call them a fringe group from a doctrinal perspective, and they are advocating for the building of a Third Temple in Israel, on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Not only that, but they seem intent on the sacrifice of a red heifer to kickstart the whole process. There are many problems associated with all this, and we will briefly touch on each one of them.

“And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:” Numbers 19:1,2 (KJB)

First of all, there is no Temple in Israel, and not only that, there is no commandment for the Jews to build one right now. In order for that to take place, God would have to be speaking afresh through one of His prophets, giving instruction on exactly what to do and how to do it. In the Old Testament, we see God speaking to people like Moses, David, Solomon, Daniel and Ezekiel about the creation of a Temple of some kind. We clearly see when the first one is built, when that one is rebuilt, how it falls into Roman hands under Herod, and then disappears altogether in 70 AD..

“Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 (KJB)

Will there be a rebuilt Temple in the time of Jacob’s trouble? Yes, and it will be the Temple of and for Antichrist. It is called the “temple of God” but only because Antichrist is pretending to be God and is received as such by the Jews in that time period after the Rapture of the Church takes place. So that takes care of the Temple problem, now the red heifer.

You can sacrifice a red heifer all you like, and nothing will happen, even if you somehow are able to to it on the Temple Mount. Why? Because there is no commandment from God to do that in the Church Age. Zero. The best you could do would be a tragic cartoonish recreation, like when the Charismatics pretend they have the apostolic signs and go around claiming they’re performing miracles when they clearly are not. Now, sacrificing a red heifer on the Temple Mount might start a war between the Jews and the Palestinians, but it won’t advance the prophetic timeline one second. Today, police arrested 21 worshippers on the suspicion of planning to sacrifice a Passover offering in the Jerusalem area. The legal center of the Honenu organization was notified of eight arrests since Monday morning on suspicion of planning to sacrifice a Passover offering. Like I said, it’s not going to happen.

As Christians, we are not waiting for a Temple to be built, we already have one. As Christians, we have no need to sacrifice any animal as we have a better High Priest with a better sacrifice. Himself. The Jewish people will be the focus after we leave, but for now, for Passover 2024, it is still the Church Age and salvation is only in Jesus Christ. The Bible is very specific about conditions that need to be met in order for things like the building of a Temple and the sacrificing of a red heifer to take place, and those conditions do not exist at the moment. The only thing that sacrificing a red heifer now would do would be to get you arrested and put in jail. It won’t usher in the end times because doctrine matters.
