Pope Francis Blesses The ‘Christ In The Rubble’ Nativity Scene That Depicts Baby Jesus Wearing The Keffiyeh Headscarf Of The Palestinian People

Outrage exploded online after Pope Francis inaugurated a nativity scene featuring a Palestinian keffiyeh wrapped around Jesus’s manger, in St. Peter’s Square on Saturday.

If you’ve been following the exploits of Pope Francis for any length of time, then you know just how anti-Christian and unbiblical he actually is. One of the ways he likes to show his hostility towards the God of the Bible is in his choices of s0-called nativity scenes. Back in 2020, Pope Francis unveiled a nativity scene that was straight out of a horror movie, something that could have been plucked from the deepest recesses of a pagan temple. Here in 2024, the Catholic monarch has put his ‘blessing’ on the ‘Christ In The Rubble’, a depiction of the baby Jesus as a Palestinian wearing the traditional keffiyeh scarf of a Palestinian. Check out our article on what the Bible has to say about Palestine.

“And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.” John 19:19 (KJB)

The actual baby Jesus was born in a place called Migdal Eder, the northern tip of Bethlehem, the tower of the flock where spotless lambs were born for use in the Temple in Jerusalem. Your King James Bible refers to this as Bethlehem Ephratah, the place where Rachel died. The fact that in 2024 that same land is, as lost people like to say, ‘Palestinian territory’, doesn’t change the equation one tiny, little bit. Pope Francis is of Antichrist, and everything he does and everything he says is helping to prepare the way for his arrival. Jesus was, and is, not only a Jew but the coming King of the Jews at the Second Advent. And when all is said and done, Zechariah 14:21 tells us that “in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.” There won’t be a ‘palestinian’ anywhere in Jerusalem or Judea.

Nativity scenes around the world have added a new accessory this Christmas season: the keffiyeh.

FROM THE NY POST: In a controversial take on the classic holiday display, some churches are replacing the baby Jesus’s traditional swaddling blanket with the black-and-white scarf — which has become a symbol of pro-Palestine activism. The manger used as a crib, meanwhile, is being surrounded by piles of rubble.

Even Pope Francis has gotten in on it. But many Christians and pro-Israel advocates are outraged by the apparent politicization of a sacred religious symbol. So-called “Christ in the Rubble” displays have become so popular that they’ve popped up everywhere from St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Washington, DC, to All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California, to the Vatican.

According to the Palestinian pastor who started the trend, the scenes are meant to send the message that, if Jesus were born in the same spot today, it would be in war-torn Palestine. Although Bethlehem is located in modern-day Palestine, Jesus was very much not a Palestinian. Many Christian faith leaders are offended, included Pastor Mark Burns of Harvest Faith Center in Easley, South Carolina.

“The fact of the matter is, Jesus was a Jew… To suggest Jesus was a Palestinian is to push a political agenda that is extremely offensive,” Burns told The Post. “The nativity is for everyone. It’s something that should surpass politics.”

Pastor Johnny Ellison of Chatt Valley Church in Phenix City, Alabama agreed: “If the Pope, or any group, is trying to turn the baby Jesus into a metaphor for Palestinian resistance, then they have failed before even getting started. Making the baby Jesus a symbol of military resistance is a defective biblical model.”

Outrage exploded online after Pope Francis inaugurated a nativity scene, designed by two artists from Bethlehem and featuring a keffiyeh wrapped around Jesus’s manger, in St. Peter’s Square on Saturday.

“Dressing baby Jesus in a keffiyeh is not only a cynical exploitation of the manger scene for political and propagandistic purposes, but it is also an absurd rewriting of history,” Dr. André Villeneuve, a professor of Old Testament and Biblical Languages at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, told The Post. “Everyone knows that Jesus was a Jew, a son of Israel. If he had been born in our generation, he would pray in a synagogue—not in a church or mosque.”

Luke Moon, executive director of the Philos Project which promotes Christian-Jewish relations, told The Post: “The Church should be telling the [nativity] story as it is written in the Bible — the story of a Jewish girl giving birth to a very special Jewish baby in a manger in the Jewish town of Bethlehem. It’s a story that shouldn’t be politicized by the Vatican.” READ MORE

Pope Francis drew criticism after unveiling the nativity scene with a Palestinian keffiyeh, aiming at neutrality.

Chaplain Farwell Of The Elmira Correctional Facility In Upstate New York Writes To Tell Us Of The ‘Desperate Need’ Of Their Inmates For Copies Of The Word Of God

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Elmira Correctional Facility in update New York has an urgent need for hundreds of copies of God’s preserved word

Elmira Correctional is a maximum ‘A facility’ in upstate NY, writes Chap Farwell. He says “We house between 1500 – 1600 incarcerated men. Approximately 600 are in our Reception Center either as parole violators, recidivists, or first time offenders awaiting classification that will send them to another correctional facility to serve their sentences and to be enrolled into a program designed to correct their behavior. Most don’t have any faith life at all even though their families may have. However, when the reality of being incarcerated hits them they reach out in desperation, which is where we as chaplains come in.” Chaplain Farwell is serving on the front lines, and Bibles Behind Bars is keeping his supply lines open.

“But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” Genesis 39:21 (KJB)

Chap went on to say “Most ask for Bibles and for many it is their first one. As chaplains, we direct them to scripture and let them know that God loves them and quite possibly this is God’s plan for them. This is where they can encounter God, but they have to come to know God and the Bible helps them to do their part. We give these Bibles freely in the hope that they will give God a chance to speak to them and they can speak to God. We are constantly seeking Bibles and if you can be a source to provide them we would be most grateful. We especially need large print. Whatever you can do would be most appreciated. God bless you for your work.” Christian, God has called us to stand in the gap for the ‘least of these’ and to give them a copy of God’s preserved word. Come help us to do that, we need you!

World Liberty Financial, Owned By The Trump Family, Unveils USD1 Cryptocurrency That They Say Will Give The US Dollar An Upgrade, Why Are They Doing It?

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

World Liberty Financial owned by the Trump family looks to cash in big time with launch of their USD1 stablecoin they say will ‘upgrade the dollar’

There is nothing ‘accidental’ about the timing of this. A Trump family–backed venture unveiling a dollar-pegged cryptocurrency called USD1 and branding it as an “upgrade” to the U.S. dollar is not simply a fintech headline — it is a prophetic red flag. And Bible believers should not shrug this off as harmless innovation. This is not about “modernizing money.” It is about accelerating the migration of financial control from physical, decentralized cash into programmable, trackable, controllable digital infrastructure. And once that infrastructure is normalized, it will not matter who built it.

“Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.” James 5:3 (KJB)

In the entire 250-year history of the United States, no presidential family has profited off the office of the president to the degree that President Donald Trump and his family are doing right now. Remember the $30 million the Biden family is claimed to have made for selling access to the office? Ha! That amount is so small that to compare the two would be laughable. The Trump family, so far, has made nearly $4,000,000,000.00 to date, and that figure could easily quadruple itself by 2028. But this is more than just a huuuuge  payday for Trump INC., this is the foundational system for the Mark of the Beast that will ultimately control all buying and selling. You called them the Biden Crime Family when they profited, but you’re loving it when ‘Daddy’ Trump is the one doing the plundering. Isn’t ‘America First’ great?

Trump family says U.S. dollar needs an USD1 upgrade and they are the ones to do it

FROM CNBC: The Trumps’ company, World Liberty Financial, touts USD1 as an improvement on official U.S. currency. The firm’s website brands its stablecoin as “The Dollar. Upgraded.” And it calls the coin “still the US dollar, but for a new era.” On Wednesday, the firm held the World Liberty Forum at Mar-a-Lago, the club owned by the president and operated as his winter White House.

The event, coming just before the first anniversary of the release of USD1, brought together financiers, technologists, television personalities, the president of the world soccer organization FIFA and the artist Nicki Minaj. From a Mar-a-Lago ballroom stage beneath an enormous stylized golden eagle sculpture, the message to attendees was that the old U.S. dollar needs to be modernized, that the private sector is the place to drive that innovation, and that stablecoins will help taxpayers by creating structural demand for U.S. government debt.

In fact, World Liberty backers argue, the new cryptocurrency they are building is not a threat to the dollar at all, but will help ensure the dollar remains dominant in global crypto finance — because USD1′s value is pegged to it.

But one big question is why, if the dollar needs modernizing, should that be done by the private sector? READ MORE

Trump’s Crypto Empire: The Truth About USD1 & World Liberty Financial

World Liberty Financials’ USD1 isn’t just another stablecoin — it’s a digital dollar with direct ties to President Trump. But what could the President being involved with his sons to launch a new digital dollar mean for America? But could a digital dollar that draws inspiration from Trump continue to divide an already divided country? Coinage took this episode up with no motives to arrive at an answer for you. We just wanted to connect the dots so you can decide the answer to that question yourselves.

Prince Andrew Dramatically Arrested On 66th Birthday Over His Connections With Jeffrey Epstein And The Information In The Files Trump Says Are A ‘Hoax’

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles and a former prince, has been arrested by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office over allegations he sent confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein

The Epstein scandal was never just about one depraved financier. It was about a network, influence and access. The kind of hidden relationships that thrive in private jets, island estates, and closed-door meetings. When exposure begins creeping in from the edges, everyone who ever stood too close to the flame starts wondering if the heat is coming for them next. Today they came for former prince of England Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Who’s next?

“The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.” Proverbs 20:2 (KJB)

We did a podcast cast a few weeks ago, talking about the heavy fallout from the Epstein Files around the world, and how in America, almost no one in the Trump administration seems to be especially worried about it. Donald Trump and Prince Andrew have been friends for many decades, but Trump decided to disavow that relationship as the heat from the Epstein Files got hotter. The friendship between Donald Trump and Prince Andrew, Duke of York, blossomed in the late 1990s and early 2000s, rooted in a shared social circle, mutual interests in golf, and, notably, their association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. While they were once described as “good friends” who socialized in high-society circles, the relationship became a liability following the accusations against Prince Andrew regarding his ties to Epstein and sexual assault allegations. Following the 2019 arrest of Jeffrey Epstein and allegations against Prince Andrew by Virginia Giuffre, Trump appeared to distance himself from the prince. Despite photographic evidence to the contrary, Trump told reporters in December 2019, “I don’t know Prince Andrew, but it’s a tough story, I don’t know him, no.

Now that is a fairly stunning thing, to have a multi-decade relationship with someone, and then turn around and say that you don’t know him. Just go to Google and do a search on Donald Trump and Prince Andrew, and you will see a treasure trove of photos going back to the 1990’s. Don’t know him? That’s a crazy thing to say, but further evidence that Trump knows that, at some point, that wheel is going to turn in his direction.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles and a former prince, has been arrested by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office over allegations he sent confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein, according to multiple U.K. media reports.
