Pope Francis opened his first Angelus of the New Year by urging the faithful to join in ‘placing ourselves under the maternal and loving gaze of Mary Most Holy’. The Pope explained that the day’s liturgy celebrates Mary ‘as Mother of God’.

There was a time in my life when I, as an unsaved Roman Catholic, would get on my knees and pray to the ‘virgin Mary’ as I was instructed to do, and ask her to take control of my life. But even as a lost person, that never felt quite right. The preeminence that the Roman Catholic Church gives to Mary in their worship of her, placing her above Jesus Christ, is not only idol worship, it can doom you to an eternal Hell. Then in 1991 I got saved, and with the Holy Spirit inside me, I could then see why this exaltation of Mary is so deadly.

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?” Jeremiah 7:18, 19 (KJB)

Pope Francis makes a number of statements that need to be rebuked from the word of God, and here now is that rebuke.

MARY THE ETERNAL VIRGIN: Nope, Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus according to the scriptures, but she had 6 children after Him. The apostle Mark tells us that “Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.” Mark 6:3 (KJB). Not only that, in the Old Testament, prophesying of the rejection of Jesus by His Jewish brethren we read “I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children. For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.” Psalm 69:8,9 (KJB)
ENTRUST YOURSELF TO MARY: Whatever you do, don’t do that, if you entrust yourself to anyone other than Jesus Christ, you will be lost for all eternity. And ‘splitting the difference’ and entrusting yourself to Mary and Jesus won’t work either. Jesus alone is worthy of your trust, and trusting anyone or anything else is idolatry. “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” Matthew 10:37 (KJB). Nowhere in the bible is there any command, instruction or even an implication that Mary has anything at all to do with our salvation or sanctification. “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 (KJB)
MARY OBTAINS PEACE: Pope Francis said that it was his prayer that Mary would “obtain for us from heaven the precious good of peace”, and that is impossible. There is only One Person that is capable of bringing peace to this world, and that is the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 (KJB)
MARY CANNOT ‘DO ALL THINGS’: By this point, hopefully, you can see the ‘repeating pattern’ of how the Roman Catholic Church takes attributes of Jesus Christ, and gives them to Mary. Pope Francis said that Mary, in Heaven, can ‘do all things’ for us down here on the earth. How exactly is that happening unless Mary is somehow part of the decision-making process of God? News flash, she is not. On earth she answered no prayers, has nothing to say on Pentecost in the Upper Room, and no one ever asked her for advice on anything. I could give you literally a hundred different scriptures showing this to you, but this one should more than suffice. “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:30,31 (KJB)

The Roman Catholic teaching on Mary is something that all Catholics should flee from, as fast as their feet will take them. Mary does not intercede for us to Jesus, her ‘gaze’ as far as your eternal soul goes is meaningless and worthless, and she will not ‘out in a good word’ for you to God based on the ridiculous premise that ‘no son can refuse a request from their mother’. The bible rebukes all such heresy, in both testaments, and you should too, if you believe the bible more than you believe a childless ‘father’ in a fish hat.

POPE FRANCIS DECLARES THAT MAY IS THE ‘MONTH OF MARY’, COMMANDS ALL CATHOLICS EVERYWHERE TO ‘ENTRUST THEMSELVES’ TO HER FOR PROTECTION

Pope at Angelus: Entrust yourselves to Mary for a united world

FROM VATICAN NEW: Pope Francis went on to explain that throughout our journey along the paths of time, “the reassuring and consoling gaze of the Blessed Virgin Mary” is one of encouragement as we entrust our anguish and torment to her, “who can do all things”. Mary looks at us with the same maternal tenderness with which she looked at her son Jesus, and this gaze is “an encouragement”, he said. This gaze, ensures that this time “given to us by the Lord” can be one that is spent “for our human and spiritual growth”, the Pope continued; a time “to iron out hatred and divisions”; “to feel that we are all more brothers and sisters”; “to build and not to destroy” and “to take care of one another and of creation”.

Concluding his New Year Angelus reflection, Pope Francis prayed that the Virgin Mary “obtain for us from heaven the precious good of peace” and expressed his hope that “peace will reign in people’s hearts and families; in places of work and leisure; in communities and nations”.

Finally the Pope wished all the faithful, and everyone throughout the world, “a happy and peaceful 2021: a year filled with confident expectation and hope”. READ MORE

NATO Jet Fighters Scramble In Poland While Russia Unleashes A Hellish Fury Upon Ukraine As WWIII Begins Knocking Loudly On The End Times Door

NATO fighter jets were scrambled and air defense systems put on alert in Poland in response to Russia’s latest overnight drone and missile strikes in Ukraine

NATO fighter jets roared into the midnight sky over Poland last night as Russia unleashed hundreds of drones and missiles into Ukraine, this is more than just another headline in the endless drumbeat of war. The birth pangs are becoming impossible to ignore. What we are watching unfold in Eastern Europe is yet another reminder that the global stage is being prepared for the time of Jacob’s trouble, the rise of Antichrist, and the reshaping of world powers exactly as foretold in the King James Bible.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:6-8 (KJB)

The prophet Daniel saw a final form of world government, a revived Roman system — strong in places, weak in others, but unified under one global ruler (Daniel 2:41–43). What is NATO if not the lingering iron of the old Roman Empire stretching across Europe? And soon a man will arise who will promise peace, stability, and safety — and the world will hand him everything. All of this points in one unmistakable direction: The Age of Grace is closing, and the time of Jacob’s trouble is approaching. The world cannot sustain this level of geopolitical tension without breaking. The Bible says it will break — spectacularly, after the Rapture when God turns His focus back to Israel and pours judgment on a Christ-rejecting world. If you’re saved, this should stir your soul and remind you that the ‘voice like a trumpet’ is close to sounding. If you’re lost, the window of mercy is still open — but not for long.

NATO fighters scrambled in Poland as Russia bombards Ukraine

FROM ABC NEWS: “Fighter jets have been scrambled and ground-based air defense systems as well as radar reconnaissance systems have reached a state of readiness,” the command said in a post to X. “These actions are of a preventive nature and are aimed at securing the airspace and its protection, especially in areas adjacent to the threatened regions,” it added. The alert lasted for just under four hours, after which the command said the fighters and air defense systems had “returned to standard operational activities.” No violations of Polish airspace were observed, a follow-up post to X said.

The Spanish and Czech air forces were involved in the response, the command said, as were German and Dutch air defense systems. Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 653 drones and 51 missiles — 17 of them ballistic missiles — into the country overnight. The air force said 585 drones and 30 missiles were shot down or suppressed.

Drone and missile impacts were reported across 29 locations, the air force said.

The attack — which consisted of 704 air attack weapons — was Russia’s largest overnight bombardment since it launched 705 munitions on the night of Oct. 29, according to Ukrainian air force data analyzed by ABC News. The largest attack of the war to date took place on the night of Sept. 6 and involved 823 air attack vehicles. The latest overnight attack is only the fourth of Russia’s full-scale invasion to date in which the number of air attack vehicles used surpassed 700.

Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs Iho Klymenko said in a post to Telegram that 10 regions of the country came under attack, with direct hits to residential buildings, railways and energy infrastructure. More than two dozen houses in the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr and Lviv regions were damaged, according to Klymenko. At least three people were injured in the Kyiv region, another three people were injured in the Dnipropetrovsk region and two people were injured in the Lviv region, Klymenko said.

In the Black Sea port city of Odesa, regional Gov. Oleh Kiper said an energy facility was damaged, resulting in disruptions to the supply of power and heating. Some 9,500 customers were without heating and 34,000 without water as of 9:30 a.m. local time. There was also damage to energy infrastructure in the Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, according to authorities there.

The International Atomic Energy Agency — the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog — said in a post to X that Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant also temporarily lost all off-site power during the Russian strikes.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi “reiterates call for military restraint to avoid a nuclear accident,” the post said. Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said she had “convened an emergency coordination meeting” with the ministers of internal affairs and energy as well as the leadership of the state-run energy companies and all services responsible for recovery operations.

The Willacy County Regional Detention Facility In Texas Has Just Reached Out For Pocket New Testaments In Spanish For The 400 Inmates In Their Charge

A very specific request for pocket Bibles in Spanish comes from Chaplain Martinez at the Willacy County Regional Detention Facility In Texas

Last summer, Chaplain Eric from the Willacy County Regional Detention Facility In Texas reached out to us in need of Bibles in English and in Spanish, and we were more than happy to meet that request for him. Now, Chap has again reached out with a more specific need, Bibles in Spanish but they have to be small, pocket size, or the inmates will not be allowed to take their Bible with them when they are moved out of Willacy. Jesus came to set the captives free, that’s our mission.

“And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.” Isaiah 24:22 (KJB)

As Americans, we all have an opinion on immigration, legal and illegal, with people coming across our southern border with Mexico, I get that. But as Christians there can be no debate, all those immigrants are precious souls before the Lord in need of salvation. So when we have an opportunity to send Bibles directly into detention centers housing immigrants, what a blessing that is! Make no mistake, there are plenty of American citizens in that jail as well, and we must reach them, too.

Trump To Announce Transition To Phase II Of Gaza ‘Board Of Peace’ Plan By Christmas Complete With A 10-Nation Confederacy Of International Rulers

US President Donald Trump is expected to announce Gaza’s ‘Board of Peace’ and the transition to the second phase of the US-backed Gaza deal by Christmas with a 10 nation confederacy

On the Podcast today, we brought you the breaking news that Trump has announce Phase II of his ‘Board of Peace’ plan to take control of Gaza with the unanimous approval of the UN Security Council. The really exciting part of all that was the Jerusalem Post announcing that Trump has created a 10 nation confederacy to help him bring peace to Gaza. Could things really get any more crazy? Is Donald Trump the Antichrist? Well, is he? That’s the memo.

“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.” Revelation 17:12,13 (KJB)

As I said repeatedly on the Podcast today, no, I do not think that Donald Trump is the biblical Antichrist – BUT – he is absolutely walking the same prophetic pattern that the Bible says the Antichrist will display in the time of Jacob’s trouble. Trump is obsessed with bringing peace to the world in general, and peace to the Middle East in particular. He is advocating for peace while at the same time planning and preparing for multiple wars. Wednesday he took control of the United States Institute of Peace and renamed it after himself! Now we learn that he will rule over Gaza with a 10-nation confederacy much like the one outlined in the book of Revelation. I’m sure this is all a crazy coincidence and soon we will all wake up and realize it was just a dream. Right? Buckle up, Christian, Flight #777 is warming up.

Trump to announce transition to Phase II of Gaza deal, ‘Board of Peace’ by Christmas

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: President Trump plans to announce before Christmas that the Gaza peace process is moving into its second phase and to unveil the new governance structure for the enclave, according to two U.S. officials and a Western source directly involved in the process.

“All of the different elements are pretty well advanced. It’s all moving ahead, and the aim is to announce it before people break for the holidays,” Axios reported, citing the Western source. The ‘Board of Peace’ will reportedly include approximately 10 Arab and Western leaders and will work alongside an international executive board composed of former British prime minister Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, US envoy Steve Witkoff, and other senior officials from contributing countries.

“The equation will be IDF out of Gaza but Hamas out of power,” Axios cited the Western source as saying. “The moment of truth will come in the next few weeks.”

Mediators are attempting to reach an agreement with Hamas regarding ending its governance of the Gaza Strip and its disarmament, according to Axios. The current discussion will reportedly have the terror group lay down its heavy arms first, and only afterward call for the group’s handover of its lighter weapons. READ MORE
