Hillsong Worship Leader Marty Sampson Announces He Wants No Part in Christianity Anymore
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Hillsong worship leader Marty Sampson announced on Instagram Friday that he’s “genuinely losing his faith”—and he’s not upset about it.

Over the past few years, there has been a tidal wave of contemporary Christian church leaders who have dramatically announced they are ‘leaving the faith’ because they no longer believe the Bible is true. Just two weeks ago, Joshua Harris, author of ‘I Kissed Dating Goodbye‘ decided he had had enough and walked away. Baptist pastors write editorials in USA Today telling Christians to ‘apologize to the LGBTQ+‘, and Jesse Duplantis still needs $54 million for that new jet. Now one of the original Hillsong worship leaders and writer of popular Christian music Marty Sampson says he doesn’t want to be a Christian anymore. Hmm. 🤔

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1,2 (KJV)

One of the great tragedies of the modern ‘seeker sensitive‘ church movement is that they created converts based on their feelings rather than on the word of God. Why are the modern megachurches filled to overflowing on a Sunday morning? Because they come for the music, and the fun, and the coffee shop in the lobby, and they love how good they feel when the service is over. And none of that is biblical, and none of that is the gospel of the grace of God.

“That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:12-14 (KJV)

The Bible when preached in truth and power tells you exactly who and what you are, a lowly sinner who deserves Hell who God saved anyway because He loved you. That’s where the gospel starts, it starts with you headed for Hell until Jesus stepped in and paid your debt, and then you accepted that free gift. How does that make you feel? First it makes you feel terrible when you realize that He had to die because you are sinner. And then when you think on that awhile, it makes you feel glad beyond measure that He loved you so much to be willing to die in your place.

It’s a hard truth, but it’s a hard truth that heals you, saves you, redeems you and restores you. Any church that doesn’t preach on Hell is no church at all by Bible standards.

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:14-16 (KJV)

But when all you are fed is peppy, upbeat ‘worship songs’ with their endless and mind-deadening repetitive choruses, in ‘church services’ that make you applaud everything that is said and done, you are spiritually dead and empty inside, unable to weather the storms of life so you eventually quit like Marty did and all the others have done. Charles Spurgeon warned that the time would come when instead of pastors feeding the sheep, the church would be filled with clowns entertaining the goats. That day is here.

Hillsong Worship Leader Marty Sampson Announces He Wants No Part in Christianity Anymore

FROM CHARISMA MAGAZINE: Marty Sampson was one of Hillsong United’s original worship leaders and wrote and co-wrote hundreds of praise songs including hits like “Now that You’re Near,” “King of Majesty,” “O Praise the Name,” “For Who You Are” and “Open Heaven.”

In his post—which has since been deleted, along with the rest of the artist’s Instagram posts—he included a picture of what appears to be Samson bringing down the pillars of the Philistine temple in Judges 16. He writes that the more he thinks about it, the more Christianity seems just like every other religion, and he doesn’t want any part of it anymore:

“Christians can be some of the most judgmental people on the planet—they can also be some of the most beautiful and loving people … but it’s not for me. I am not in any more. I want genuine truth. Not the ‘I just believe it’ kind of truth. Science keeps piercing the truth of every religion. Lots of things help people change their lives, not just one version of God.”

Sampson also points to apparent contradictions in the Bible and the church as a reason he’s leaving the faith.

“How many preachers fall?” he asks. “Many. No one talks about it. How many miracles happen? Not many. No one talks about it. Why is the Bible full of contradictions? No one talks about it. How can God be love yet send 4 billion people to a place, all coz [sic] they don’t believe? No one talks about it.”

Cultural commentator Michael Brown challenges Sampson’s assertions that no one talks about these issues.

Brown points to the countless articles that were written in Christian and secular media when Joshua Harris announced his departure from the faith two weeks ago. For commentary on miracles and supposed contradictions in the Bible, Brown says there are plenty of books.

“Well, I’m thrilled to hear he wants ‘genuine truth’ as opposed to simply taking things by faith,” Brown says. “But I must ask once more, ‘What Christian world has he been living in?”

Despite leaving Christianity, Sampson says he still holds onto what he believes is good about spirituality: “Love and forgive absolutely. Be kind absolutely. Be generous and do good to others absolutely. Some things are good no matter what you believe. Let the rain fall, the sun will come up tomorrow.”

In the wake of Sampson’s announcement, Brown encourages Christians everywhere not to be afraid of asking the hard questions. And he prays Sampson’s heart would genuinely know the truth.

“My prayer is that Marty Sampson would have the integrity of heart to seek the truth earnestly, with humility and passion, and that all others with questions will put those questions on the table. … Let’s pray for Marty’s repentance, restoration and more.” READ MORE

WORLD WAR TRUMP! DJT Started A War He Cannot Control As Iran Now Defies Him Over Its Enriched Uranium, Daring The United States To Stop Them

World War Trump Lit The Fuse In Iran But Tehran’s Defiant Refusal To Surrender Its Enriched Uranium Shows He Cannot Control The Coming Explosion

President Trump may have launched this war believing that overwhelming military force, diplomatic pressure, and Israeli coordination would bend Iran to Washington’s will. But today’s Reuters report shows something far more sobering. World War Trump, I’m sorry, Operation Epic Fury, has already moved beyond Trump’s control. As we have long told you, beneath the braggidocio and bluster from the Department of War, no one in the Trump administration seems to have any understanding at all of the Islamic mindset. Someone please tell the president that the only way this ends is with a ‘boots on the ground’ military intevention, and going in and taking the enriched uranium ourselves. That’s it, and Thank for your attention in this matter!

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJB)

Iran’s Supreme Leader has reportedly ordered that Iran’s enriched uranium must remain inside Iran, rejecting a central U.S. demand that the stockpile be removed from the country as part of any ceasefire or nuclear settlement. That is not negotiation, that is open defiance. Reuters reported the directive was confirmed by two senior Iranian officials, and markets immediately reacted, with oil spiking and U.S. stock futures falling on fears the conflict could escalate further. And there it is. Trump started the fire, but he certainly doesn’t own the flames. Trump can order strikes, and he can issue threats. He can stand behind podiums and announce ultimatums. He can say what Iran “must” do, what Israel “requires,” and what America “will not allow.” But the moment the missiles fly, the war becomes a living thing — fed by nationalism, religion, retaliation, oil markets, terror proxies, wounded pride, military calculations, and spiritual darkness. No president controls all of that, and now, it’s out of control.

This is the great delusion of modern American power: that Washington can bomb its way into obedience, threaten its way into peace, and sanction its way into surrender. But Iran is not responding like a defeated regime. Iran is responding like a regime that believes time, geography, fanaticism, and escalation are on its side. And you know what? It is. Trump demanded the uranium leave Iran,and Iran answered. They said “no”. That single word exposes the whole fantasy. Because if Trump cannot force Iran to surrender its enriched uranium after launching a war to stop Iran’s nuclear program, then what exactly has the war accomplished? If Iran keeps the stockpile, keeps the infrastructure hidden or hardened, keeps the ideology burning, and keeps the Strait of Hormuz hanging over the world economy like a sword, then Trump is not dictating the outcome — he is reacting to it.

Trump, Hegseth and the Department of War have consistiently lied to the American people about the true cost and toll of this war, and Congress must step in and hold them accountable

This war was sold as strength, but strength without control becomes chaos. Strength without a clean endgame becomes a trap. Strength without wisdom becomes exactly what the Bible says it is, the arm of flesh. Iran’s defiance also reveals how little leverage Trump truly has. If he escalates, oil prices can explode, American forces across the region become targets, Israel is pulled deeper into a widening war, and global markets start pricing in a Middle East firestorm. If he backs down, Iran claims victory and keeps the very uranium Washington demanded be removed. If he negotiates, Tehran stalls. If he bombs again, Tehran retaliates. Every door opens into another room of consequences.

The Supreme Leader is not merely defying Trump personally. He is defying the entire premise of the war. The premise was that force would compel Iran to give up the key nuclear leverage it has spent decades building. Instead, Iran is now publicly hardening its red line while the world watches Trump discover that starting a war is far easier than ending one. From a prophetic perspective, this is exactly the type of Middle East madness we have warned about for years. The kings and rulers of the earth imagine themselves to be moving the pieces, but the board is bigger than they are. Iran, Israel, America, oil, nuclear weapons, Islamic ideology, military alliances, and global panic are all converging in a region God has placed at the center of end-times events. Trump may have started the war, but as you can clearly see, he is absolutely not the author of it’s ending.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The High Priests Of Silicon Valley Are Preaching And Promising People An Earthly Utopia But It’s One In The Absence Of God

The Apostles Of The Singularity Promise Digital Immortality As The Technocratic Kingdom Prepares Mankind For Antichrist

The apostles of the Singularity are not merely building better machines, they are preaching a counterfeit gospel for the end-times technocratic kingdom. In their world, artificial intelligence becomes the new godhead, biometric identity becomes the new confession of faith, digital surveillance becomes the new omniscience, and machine integration becomes the new resurrection. They promise mankind a world without scarcity, without conflict, without disease, and without death, but every promise comes with digital handcuffs. They’re not selling, they’re buying. This is not the gospel of Jesus Christ, this is the Tower of Babel rebuilt in silicon and steel for the last days!

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the Bible believer is not waiting for digital immortality, neural uploading, or salvation by machine. We are waiting for the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone has the keys of hell and of death, and who alone can give eternal life to a dead sinner. The world wants resurrection without repentance, immortality without the blood, heaven without holiness, and a kingdom without the King, and that is why the coming system will be received by the lost world as progress, peace, and safety. But the scriptures have already told us where this road leads: global control, forced worship, and a system where “no man might buy or sell” apart from the mark. The machine cannot save you, the algorithm cannot redeem you, and artificial intelligence cannot raise the dead. Today we show you the coming kingdom being created by the Apostles of the Singularity, and just how close it is to be rolled out.

Ballroom Bunker

Trump Accidentally Tells The Truth On Fox News Saying His Ballroom Is Actually A ‘Shield’ For The Military Industrial Complex Bunker Running 6 Stories Below

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Trump tells the truth on Fox News, call his new ballroom a ‘shield’ for the military industrial complex bunker that will exists 6 stories beneath it

President Donald Trump just said the quiet part out loud. Standing at the site of his massive new White House Ballroom project, Trump told Fox News that the ballroom will act as a “shield” for the complex being constructed underneath it. Not a decoration. Not an event space. Not merely a ‘gilded reception hall’ for state dinners and political galas. A shield. That one word changes the entire story. A ballroom is for dancing, a shield is for war, and a bunker is for survival. This is where the elites will hide from the wrath of the Lamb. Good luck with that. On a side note, we told you all this on a Podcast months ago, that the ballroom was really just a cover for a bunker, and people mocked and said we had TDS. Today Trump just validated everything we said, and then some.

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:” Revelation 6:15,16 (KJB)

The rulers of this world are not preparing for peace. Trump is saturated with a lust for war. They are preparing for collapse. Drones. Missiles. Civil unrest. Assassination attempts. Cyberwar. Biological threats. Nuclear brinkmanship. They know something is coming, and they are building downward. Trump’s ballroom bunker is a stunning prophetic shadow of what the Bible says the world’s elites will do when judgment comes. They will not repent, they will retreat. They will not run to God, they’ll run into the earth. for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”

The dispensation of grace is winding down. The Church will not be hiding in bunkers when the wrath of God is poured out; we will be caught up before the time of Jacob’s trouble begins. But the Christ-rejecting world system is already preparing its subterranean refuges. They can sense something is coming. They can feel the shaking. They can read the geopolitical weather, even if they refuse to read the Bible.

Trump revealed that the ballroom will run about six stories deep, describing the building as made of “impenetrable” steel and four-inch-thick glass. He said 9,000 pounds of concrete is being used.He said the building would include a military hospital research facilities, various meeting rooms and security infrastructure tied to drone and missile defense. source

It is a sign of a ruling class preparing not for peace, not for revival, not for repentance, but for survival. And when the day finally comes that the kings of the earth flee into their underground shelters, they will discover the terrible truth written in the Book they mocked, ignored and rejected. The ballroom is the cover, but the bunker is their confession. And the King James Bible already told us where the kings of the earth would run when the wrath of the Lamb begins.
