Catholics Nailed To Crosses In The Philippines In Mocking Re-enactment Of Jesus’ Death
Beloved, you cannot begin to imagine the PRICE HE PAID for your sin and mine. Which is why we recoil in horror when we read stories like this that only serve to mock and belittle the true sacrifice Jesus made on Calvary.
A grim Good Friday reenactment of Jesus’s suffering.
“But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.” (Hebrews 10:12-18)
The Philippines is about 80% Roman Catholic, and the country’s culture is strongly mixed with and established based on Catholicism. Since the Lenten Season is the time of the year where most of the Catholic practices and rituals are performed, it is never a surprise for the locals to see some devout parishioners go beyond what was called for by the Catholic church. Because of the rich mixture of pagan roots and that of Catholicism, many devotees naturally lean toward folk superstition ending up in the spectacle that is a unique brand of Catholicism in this country. It is baffling, though, to know that although the Catholic church condemns such practices, the annual rituals have continued since the 1950’s.
Calculating the true cost
From a biblical perspective, though, re-enacting Jesus’ suffering and death in such a way borders on mockery to the sacrifice of the only begotten Son of God who was sent to die for the reparation sin of those who will believe. Just imagine Jesus standing before Pilate. He is about to have His back scourged with a Roman cat-of-nine tails. Nine rough leather straps, with bits of broken glass and sharp metal shards woven in to lacerate the skin. The hulking, powerful Roman guards would lash out with all their might, make contact, and then drag the whip back across the skin. Over and over again this was done to the back of Jesus in brutal, barbaric fashion. Now, if any of you think this was just a little “whipping” and was something Jesus could easily shake off, let’s do the math to see exactly how brutal it really was.
The cat-o-nine-tails has 9 leather straps with, on average, 5 sharp pieces of metal or glass woven in. According to Roman law, He would have been whipped about 40 times. Take out your calculator and times 9 x 5 x 40, and what do you get? 1,800 potential lacerations that filleted our Saviour like a fish at cleaning time. Beloved, you cannot begin to imagine the PRICE HE PAID for your sin and mine. Which is why we recoil in horror when we read stories like the following that only serve to mock and belittle the true sacrifice Jesus made on Calvary.
From the Washington Post: Nine Catholic devotees in the Philippines marked Good Friday by reenacting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, with real nails driven through their hands and feet as villagers dressed as Roman centurions and thousands of others looked on. The devotees say they endure the pain to give thanks, atone for their sins and pray during Holy Week.

Agony or Mockery?: Bobby Gomez grimaces as a nail is hammered into his hand in the Good Friday celebration
“I feel good because my suffering has ended,” Ruben Enaje, a 51-year-old sign painter, told the Associated Press. Enaje went through his 26th crucifixion this year after recently surviving a fall from a building. The annual event, held this year in the northern province of Pampanga, is opposed by Catholic Church leaders in the Philippines and around the world, who say that there is no reason to go through this pain.
“The church’s position is there’s no need to go through this physical and literal pain on the body because Christ already did that for us,” the Rev. Melvin Castro of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines told the AP.

Pain: A Filipino man has nails through his hands - and some more put through his feet as he is put on a cross in the reenactment.
Castro suggests that people go to confession and give alms instead. Also opposed to the tradition are the country’s health officials, who have warned in years past that those taking part in the rituals should have tetanus shots and be pierced by sterilized nails.

Horror: Percy Valencia, 41, is hoisted up onto a cross before being 'crucified' for a few minutes today .
Just before Friday’s crucifixion, scores of people who did not go up on the cross whipped themselves as a symbol of their repentance. Others marched through the streets beating their naked backs with sharp bamboo sticks and pieces of wood.

Hooded barefoot penitents perform self-flagellation to atone for their sins in San Fernando, Pampanga in northern Philippines.
Two foreign students were allowed to film this year’s rites, but angered organizers when they tried to participate in the procession, according to the AP. Foreigners are not allowed to participate because of two incidents in which an Australian comic was nailed to a cross using a fake name, and a Japanese man tried to be crucified for a scene in a porn film. source – Washington Post
Donald Trump
THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: How God Used Donald Trump And The MAGA Movement As Judgment To Usher In The Most Idolatrous Government America’s Ever Had
THE DESTROYER: Trump Promised Peace And Prosperity, Delivered War And Division, And Opened The Door To The Very Political Forces We Elected Him To Stop, Now The Reckoning
The Bible is crystal-clear about how God views nations that fall into idolatry, whether it be His chosen people of Israel, or the Gentile nations round about them. Back in 2009, on the very day that NTEB was first launched, we warned you about the coming betrayal of America at the hands of our leaders. That betrayal was present and building during the 8 years of the Bush administration, it began to rapidly advance during the 8 years of Barack Hussein Obama, the open mockery of the 4 years of pretend president Joe Biden, finally reaching its stunning climax on Tuesday night. Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement has ushered in our most radical, most godless, the most idolatrous government ever.
“They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.” Hosea 8:4 (KJB)
We voted for Donald Trump in 2024 because we wanted him to keep his promises. We understood the man’s flaws, but we were hiring a president to deliver the specific agenda he promised us: no new wars, a prosperous economy, $2.00 gasoline, secure borders, and an America respected abroad. Then came the Iran war, a massive betrayal of his promise. Then came the tariffs and the kinetic economic disruption. Americans who voted for stability watched their president making decisions that were ushering in chaos and confusion. The consequences reached the gas pump, the grocery bill, with Republican candidates struggling to explain why voters should give their party more time. Trump owned those decisions. It was his name, his authority, his policies—and now his responsibility. You cannot campaign as the man who will fix everything and then demand immunity from blowback when your own decisions fail spectacularly.
And while Americans begged for relief, Trump only wanted to talk about war, golden statues, Reflecting Pools, bunker ballrooms, and lavish cavier and drag parties at Mar-a-Logo. What an extraordinary picture of misplaced priorities: a president celebrating the grandeur of his surroundings while the people who elected him worried about the cost of living. Republican advisers were hearing that frustration directly from voters, yet the renovation spectacle continued. Americans hired a president to improve their country, we did not hand him the country as a personal renovation project. Then came the reckoning.
THE END TIMES COUNTDOWN:
- Today is day 1,716 of the Russia-Ukraine War
- Today is day 2,426 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve
- Today is day 251 of World War Trump in Iran
- Today is day 28,665 of The Regathering Of Israel
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, on Tuesday night, the very same broad coalition that had ushered Trump into his 2024 landslide victory became the very same one that, finally, pulled the plug on him. But talk about locking the barn door after the cow has already gotten out. Because of Trump and the unchecked MAGA Movement, the most radical and godless candidates for office have won election. Today we are going to show you some of them, it’s not a pretty picture. This is what happens when a nation turns against the true and living God of the Bible, opting instead for man worship. Today’s podcast is a clarion call to the remnant born again Church to stand strong in these last days…the last days fight we told you was coming is here. TO THE FIGHT!!!

I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.

The Chaplain of the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison In Louisiana Writes Asking For King James Bibles And Any Available Bible Study Materials We Can Supply Them
The East Baton Rouge Parish Prison In Louisiana needs Bibles and Bible study materials to help their male and female inmates renew their minds in the word of God
You, it’s a funny thing. In our world, we are consumed on an hourly basis with the endless bombardment of “breaking news!” that takes over our screens, our minds, defying us to think about anything else. But behind the bars of any jail, prison or detention center, time comes to an sudden and severe halt, and the only thing that reverberates through the minds of the inmates is…time. Lots and lots of time. Time to think about the wrongs they have done, time to reflect on those they’ve hurt, time to think about the length of their sentence, but also time to consider the promises of the Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. That’s where Bibles Behind Bars comes in. We have the ‘good news’ they don’t even know they need, and we have a mandate to give it to them.
“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” Psalm 56:3 (KJB)
Chaplain Jackson of the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison In Louisiana writes “As the Chaplain of the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, I have a tremendous task of witnessing to men and women who have made wrong decisions in life. As you know , the only way to have a renewed mind is through the word of God. Please assist in the ministry of our prison population by donating paper back bibles in English, also please send any other paperback literature you feel that will help them as they study and learn Gods word. Your ministry is much appreciated, and I want to thank you for the great work you are doing for God’s Kingdom.” I would love to flood the cells and corridors of the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison with hundreds of King James Bible, and copious amounts of Bible study materials to help them with right division as Paul commands. We need to raise about $2,500 to do this, please pray about that.
In addition to this request, we’ve also been contacted this week by the Columbia CI Annex Chapel in Florida, the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, and the Wakulla Correctional Institution also here in Florida. While the world wants to distract you with politics and all the flashy things of Satan’s earthly kingdom, we have a mandate from Jesus of Nazareth to send out His word as far and as wide as we possibly can. Come help us to do that, we need you!!

European Union
Bomb Threats Target At Least 15 Passenger Flights Across Europe As Fighter Jets Scramble And A New Wave Of Aviation Chaos Puts Spotlight On Russia
Europe Faces Another Wave Of Airline Bomb Threats As Anonymous Warnings Trigger Military Responses And Expose The Vulnerability Of A Society Dependent On Uninterrupted Travel
Someone is demonstrating just how quickly Europe’s skies can be thrown into turmoil. Around fifteen passenger flights targeted by bomb threats in a single day, fighter jets scrambled, aircraft diverted, and security teams mobilized across national borders. This follows earlier waves of threats during the same week. Searches have found no explosives, but the disruption payload has already been delivered with interrupted journeys, frightened passengers, military responses and costly investigations. Whoever is responsible has exploited a vulnerability that every traveler should understand—authorities must take a potential bomb seriously, even when an anonymous warning is the only evidence that one exists. The chaos comes two days after around ten commercial flights, including two from the UK, were targeted by bomb threats. In a seemingly unrelated story, a Russian military spacecraft that approached a Western satellite last month could have been rehearsing an attack, a military space specialist said.
“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” Psalm 56:3 (KJB)
Could Russia or Iran be behind the threats to commercial flights in Europe? It is either one of them, mostly likely Russia. In March 2026, Eurojust announced that investigators had identified twenty-two suspects in a separate incendiary-parcel operation allegedly connected to Russian military intelligence. One package caught fire at Leipzig airport shortly before being loaded onto an aircraft. Britain’s MI5 has also reported tracking more than twenty potentially lethal Iran-backed plots in a single year, largely involving targeted violence against opponents. These are documented allegations from security and judicial authorities, and they show why foreign involvement deserves scrutiny. Responsibility for this week’s airline threats remains unidentified at the moment.
BREAKING: At least 14 flights across Europe are forced to change course, land early or receive fighter-jet escorts following a series of bomb threats.
The disruption stretches across multiple countries. Italian fighter jets escort one passenger plane to Rome, while another flight departing Dublin is redirected to a French military base.
Flights from Warsaw, Milan, Copenhagen, Madrid and London are among those affected. Despite searches of several aircraft, authorities report finding no explosives. | @foxandfriends @Jeff_Paul

— Fox News (@FoxNews) November 5, 2026
Full list of flights affected by bomb threats
- EI-DEH Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome, diverted to Evreux, France
- FR6410 Ryanair flight from Madrid to Sofia
- FR3606 Ryanair flight from Copenhagen to Sofia
- FR1730 Ryanair flight from London Stansted to Sofia, diverted to Plovdiv, Bulgaria
- LO235 LOT Polish Airlines flight from Warsaw to Brussels
- W46387 WizzAir flight from Milan Malpensa to Warsaw-Okęcie, diverted to Vienna, Austria
- AY1761 FinnAir flight from Helsinki to Rome Fiumicino airport
- AY1471 FinnAir flight from Helsinki to Vienna
- WizzAir flight from Milan Malpensa to Bucharest, Romania
- Four unidentified flights heading towards Prague
- A3552 Aegean Airlines flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Milan Malpensa
- FR8953 Ryanair flight from Porto to Milan Malpensa source
The strategic attraction of a campaign like this is obvious. Spread fear, consume resources, interrupt commerce and make ordinary people question whether their next journey is safe. This is a classic psychological terror campaign, and highly effective. A coordinated operation could impose those costs repeatedly while its organizers remain behind anonymous messages. Aviation analysts have already flagged the unusual timing and frequency of these threats as suggestive of coordination. Europe needs answers about who sent them, whether they share a common source, and what their authors intend to accomplish. Trump’s half-fought, unfinished war with Iran that only served to destabilize the Middle East is also a contributing factor that’s emboldening hostile nations like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
