An Australian investigation into decades of child sexual abuse, involving tens of thousands of victims, called for sweeping changes in the Catholic Church and other organizations, including making celibacy voluntary for clergy and forcing ministers to report abuse concerns that come to light through confession.

“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 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 17:5,6 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Roman Catholic Church has famously bragged over the years that they “never change”, like that’s supposed to be a good thing. But a recent Australian investigation into decades of child sexual abuse cases nationwide has pegged the Catholic Church as the far-and-away, number one offender. Now Australia is demanding that the Vatican amend their canon law to stop forcing thier priests to be unmarried, to force priests to report crimes they hear in confessional booths, and to remove time limits for the Church to take action on child sex abuse cases. In other words, Catholic priests need to stop raping children.

The broad-ranging probe urged Australia’s Catholic Church to request the Vatican make changes to canon law, including removing limits on the time in which the church can take action on child sexual abuse cases, as well as removing a requirement to destroy documents relating to criminal cases in matters of morals.

It recommended the government make it a criminal offense to fail to report knowledge or suspicions of abuse disclosed in a religious confession. The report said confession had “contributed to both the occurrence of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and to inadequate institutional responses to abuse.”

“Church leaders have viewed child sexual abuse as a sin to be dealt with through private absolution and penance rather than as a crime to be reported to police. The sacrament of reconciliation enabled perpetrators to resolve their sense of guilt without fear of being reported,” it said.

In response, Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Anthony Fisher warned against making changes to confession. He said focusing “on something like confession is a distraction.”

“Any proposal to effectively stop the practice of confession in Australia would be a real hurt to all Catholics and Orthodox Christians, and I don’t think would help any young person,” Archbishop Fisher told reporters.

But the Catholic Bishops Conference, a group of Australian bishops, said it would work with another organization of Catholic leaders to review the report and respond within months. In the U.S., many states require members of the clergy, among other professionals, to report child abuse.

The recommendations, made by Australia’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, were among dozens made in a 17-volume report released Friday. It was the conclusion to a five-year inquiry into how organizations in the country managed and responded to allegations and instances of child abuse.

“Tens of thousands of children have been sexually abused in many Australian institutions,” the report said. “It is a national tragedy, perpetrated over generations within many of our most trusted institutions.”

It said abuse occurred in almost every type of institution, including sports clubs, schools and religious organizations. It wasn’t a case of a “few rotten apples,” it said, with some institutions having had multiple abusers who sexually abused multiple children. The commission accused society’s major institutions of serious failings, exacerbated by a “manifestly inadequate response.”

Launched in late 2012, a six-person commission handled nearly 70,000 calls, letters and emails, and made more than 2,000 referrals to authorities, including the police.

In response to the commission’s preliminary reports, the government already agreed to develop a database to share decisions on background checks for people working with children around the country and introduced reforms to stop registered child sex offenders from traveling overseas without permission, among other actions.

The commission’s recommendations were directed at a number of institutions. But it said that, based on its findings, the greatest number of alleged perpetrators and abused children were in Catholic institutions. It said the power afforded to people in religious ministry and the misplaced trust of parents, combined with institutional culture, had created risks for children. It said alleged perpetrators often continued to have access to children even when religious leaders knew they posed a danger.

“This is a shameful past, in which a prevailing culture of secrecy and self-protection led to unnecessary suffering for many victims and their families,” said Archbishop Denis Hart, president of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference.

The government of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Friday it would provide 52.1 million Australian dollars (US$39.9 million) to support victims. It also said it would establish a task force to consider and coordinate Canberra’s response to the final report’s recommendations.

“What that commission has done has exposed a national tragedy,” Mr. Turnbull said. source

INVEST IN PAPER: Antichrist Enabler Yuval Noah Harari Speaking At Davos Today Said That AI Will Take Control Of The Bible And The Written Words Of God

End times villain Yuval Noah Harari said today at the World Economic Forum in Davos that ‘AI will take control of the words of God’, challenge accepted

The enemies of God are out of the closet, bold and brazen, and today at the globalist World Economic Forum in Davos, one of our favorite end times villains, Yuval Noah Harari, declared that AI will take over and control the ‘words of God’ specifically mentioning the ones found in the Jewish Bible. Talk about a 21st-century version of “Yea, hath God said?”, Harari like Lucifer in Isaiah 14 is shaking his fist at God and literally daring Him to stop the AI takeover of His words. As we like to remind you, this world is preparing itself to receive the Antichrist, of whom Yuval Noah Harari would seem to be the forerunner.

“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Psalm 12:6,7 (KJB)

We have told you repeatedly over the past 6 years to ‘invest in paper’, why do we mean by that? Simply that since an EMP strike will render things like PDF files and e-Bibles useless in the blink of an eye, that you should start building a library made up of bound, paper books with words printed on its pages in ink. Think about it. God could have used the most advanced technology in the Universe to preserve His words, but instead, He chose a book for His Book, hand inscribed or printed on paper. That’s what you should do, too. This is why we have a King James Bible Bookstore.

Israeli historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari on Tuesday warned that artificial intelligence could challenge book-based religions, saying AI is likely to take over “anything made of words.”

Speaking at the World Economic Forum 2026 Annual Meeting in Davos, Harari said AI is already better than many humans at organising and analysing language. As a result, he argued, systems built mainly on words could increasingly fall under the influence of AI. Focusing on Judaism, he noted that it calls itself as the “religion of the book” and places ultimate authority not in human experience, but in written words. He then raised a broader question about the future of faith in the age of artificial intelligence. “What happens to a religion of the book when the greatest expert on the holy book is an AI?” Harari asked.

Someone should tell him that the preserved words of God are sharper than a two-edged sword, more important than our necessary food, and will exist exactly how God spoke them for eternity. But I know this, after the Rapture of the Church when the strong delusion hits, it’s going to be Hell on Earth, a Hell in which AI will rule for 7 short years.

AMERICA ALONE: Donald Trump At The Davos World Economic Forum Was Supposed To ‘Dismantle The New World Order’, Instead He Turned The World Against Us

From America First To America Alone: Trump at Davos World Economic Forum unites the free world against the United States

For years, millions of MAGA Americans believed Donald Trump was raised up to stand against the New World Order, to expose the globalist cabal, and to tear down the Davos system brick by brick. Yet here we are watching Trump stand at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the very beating heart of globalism, while the nations rage — not against Klaus Schwab, not against Larry Fink — but against America. This is what we warned you was coming, and now it’s here.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

The flashpoint is Greenland, but don’t be fooled — this is not about ice, minerals, or Arctic shipping lanes. It is about power, sovereignty, and who gets to dictate the future world order. And right now, the optics are disastrous. Davos is not neutral ground. It is not a debating hall. It is the throne room of global governance, where unelected elites gather to coordinate economic, political, and technological control over the nations. The photo at the top of this article was posted to social media by Trump and the White House. The stock market reacted to all this with a 700 point drop.

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) January 20, 2026

So when Trump walks into Davos and sparks international outrage — not against the WEF, but against the United States — the result is not the collapse of globalism, but its reinforcement. Europe rallies. NATO hardens. Leaders who normally despise one another suddenly find unity in opposing America.

That is not dismantling the New World Order. That is accelerating the conditions required for it.

Let’s be clear: Greenland belongs to Greenlanders. Denmark knows it. The EU knows it. And the moment Trump framed the issue as American acquisition, rather than cooperation, he handed globalists the moral high ground they crave. What we are witnessing is not a random diplomatic spat. It is the steady erosion of national independence, including America’s. First isolation. Then demonization. Then replacement. America does not need to be conquered — it needs to be removed as a moral authority. And nothing accomplishes that faster than turning allies into adversaries.
Now the headlines read:

“U.S. threatens allies”
“America destabilizes NATO”
“Western unity at risk”

That narrative doesn’t weaken globalism — it justifies it. The New World Order does not fear chaos. It feeds on it. It uses conflict to argue for “global solutions,” “shared sovereignty,” and “collective security.” And every time America is painted as the bully, the case for supranational authority grows stronger.

The Takeaway That You Must Grasp

Davos is not being defeated — it is consolidating
America is not rising — it is being positioned
The New World Order does not fear Trump — it absorbs the chaos around him
Bible prophecy is not stalled — it is right on schedule

Our hope was never in Trump.
Our hope was never in America.
Our hope has always been in Jesus Christ, and His soon return.

The Pentagon is planning to deploy 1,500 active duty troops for the invasion of Minnesota as Trump flies to Davos to join the elites of the World Economic Forum

The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, defense officials told The Washington Post late Saturday, after President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to unrest there. Speaking of Trump, he will be in Davos, Switzerland, to be a keynote speaker at the World Economic Forum, and he’s bringing with him the ‘gods of this world’ that we like to call the Tech Titans.

“Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.” Isaiah 41:23 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the world order as we know it is transitioning to something we’ve long feared was coming, and the person who seems to be the catalyst for it is all none other than Donald John Trump. Thank you for your attention in the matter!! Consider the following headlines – a Free Trade Zone between Europe and South America, Trump turning against NATO, the Federal government stifling the media, the Pentagon sending troops to Minnesota, the coming economic collapse, Donald Trump keynote speaker at World Economic Forum – and on and on it goes. But take heart, the MAGA and Q propagandists, who could teach some new tricks to Joseph Goebbels, assure us that the 7D chess Donald Trump has been playing will shortly bring the New World Order to heel, and victory will be ours at last…Hail, victory! Or as they say in Germany, Seig Heil. Trump may indeed be playing 7D chess, but if he is, it is a game being played against us, not on ‘them’. Today we invite you to take your head out of the proverbial sand, and see the world as the Bible says it will be in the last days.
