In what is perhaps the most strongly worded address of the Francis pontificate, the Pope blasted a group of Nigerian priests who have rejected the papal appointment of their bishop to the diocese of Ahiara, comparing them to the “murderous tenants” spoken of by Jesus in the gospel.

“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” Matthew 23:9 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: Pope Francis has amazingly written in a single letter everything you need to know about the Vatican and the Roman Catholic system. Some Catholic priests in Nigeria have decided to start thinking for themselves, and this ‘traitorous act’ was greeted with swift denunciation from the unholy, childless “father”, Pope Francis. In this letter he 1). demands total obedience of the priests to himself, 2). demands they worship the “holy mother”, and 3). tells them to write a letter to beg his forgiveness or “suffer the consequences”.  Think I’m kidding? Click here to read the full letter on the official Vatican website. 

The Pope goes on to describe the priests’ offense against the Church as a “mortal sin,” demanding that each one write a personal letter of apology manifesting “total obedience to the Pope.”

This act of rebellion goes beyond “tribalism,” Francis said, and is rather “an attempted taking of the vineyard of the Lord.”

The Ahiara diocese has been embroiled in controversy ever since 2012, when Pope Benedict XVI appointed Peter Okpaleke as its bishop, an appointment that was reportedly opposed by “lay people and priests of the diocese.”

Members of the local church have demanded a bishop from the Mbaise region, like their former bishop, the late Victor Adibe Chikwe, who came from Mbaise and was accepted as a “son of the soil.”

In 2013, Pope Francis appointed Cardinal John Onaiyekan as apostolic administrator of the diocese but no resolution to the crisis has been found.

Now, Pope Francis has issued an ultimatum to the priests of the Diocese of Ahiara, giving them 30 days to write a letter promising absolute obedience to him along with the acceptance of their appointed bishop. Priests who do not write a personal letter imploring the Pope’s forgiveness will be suspended from the priesthood.

On Wednesday, Pope Francis received a delegation from the Diocese of Ahiara, which included the Archbishop of Abuja and the apostolic administrator of Ahiara, Cardinal John O. Onaiyekan, along with a number of other Nigerian prelates and diocesan staff.

In the text of his address, released on Saturday by the Vatican, Pope Francis says that the behavior of the Ahiara clergy reminds him of “the parable of the murderous tenants, of which the Gospel speaks, that want to grasp the inheritance.”

I think that, in this case, we are not dealing with tribalism, but with an attempted taking of the vineyard of the Lord. The Church is a mother and whoever offends her commits a mortal sin, it’s very serious. However, I decided not to suppress the Diocese. Instead, I wish to give some indications that are to be communicated to all: first of all it must be said that the Pope is deeply saddened. Therefore, I ask that every priest or ecclesiastic incardinated in the Diocese of Ahiara, whether he resides there or works elsewhere, even abroad, write a letter addressed to me in which he asks for forgiveness; all must write individually and personally. We all must share this common sorrow. In the letter

1. one must clearly manifest total obedience to the Pope, and
2. whoever writes must be willing to accept the Bishop whom the Pope sends and has appointed.
3. The letter must be sent within 30 days, from today to July 9th, 2017. Whoever does not do this will be ipso factosuspended a divinis and will lose his current office.
This seems very hard, but why must the Pope do this? Because the people of God are scandalized. Jesus reminds us that whoever causes scandal must suffer the consequences. source

“Whoever was opposed to Bishop Okpaleke taking possession of the Diocese wants to destroy the Church,” Francis said. “This is forbidden; perhaps he does not realize it, but the Church is suffering as well as the People of God within her. The Pope cannot be indifferent.”

In his speech, the Pope praised the “holy patience” demonstrated by the bishop during these four years. He also states that he had considered “suppressing the Diocese,” but then thought that “the Church is a mother and cannot abandon her many children.”

Francis also suggests that the priests of the diocese “are being manipulated even from abroad and from outside the Diocese.”

“The Church is a mother and whoever offends her commits a mortal sin, it’s very serious,” Francis said, before laying out his ultimatum to the priests.

Every priest or ecclesiastic of the Diocese of Ahiara, Francis said, must “write a letter addressed to me in which he asks for forgiveness; all must write individually and personally. We all must share this common sorrow.”

In the letter, he continued, the priests “must clearly manifest total obedience to the Pope,” and “must be willing to accept the Bishop whom the Pope sends and has appointed.”

“The letter must be sent within 30 days, from today to July 9th, 2017. Whoever does not do this will be ipso facto suspended a divinis and will lose his current office,” Francis said.

“This seems very hard, but why must the Pope do this?” he continued. “Because the people of God are scandalized. Jesus reminds us that whoever causes scandal must suffer the consequences.” source

PROPHECY NEWS MIDWEEK UPDATE: Today Is Day #7 Of A Complete And Total Media Blackout Of Benjamin Netanyahu Who Has Nothing To Say About The War

Where Is Bibi? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Missing From Public View Since March 12 As Deafening Media Silence Raises Serious Questions

A sitting Israeli prime minister like Benjamin ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu does not just “disappear” from public view for days on end without explanation — not in a region that is the geopolitical epicenter of the world, and certainly not in a time when every move in the Middle East is tied directly to end times momentum. When the cameras go dark and the microphones go silent, that’s not transparency — that’s control. This is exactly the kind of thing that should make people stop, look twice, and start asking real questions instead of passively consuming whatever narrative is handed to them.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:15 (KJB)

And let’s be honest about something: if this were any other world leader, the corporate media would be running 24/7 countdown clocks, panels of “experts,” and breathless speculation. But here? Near-total silence. That tells you everything you need to know.

The question isn’t just “Where is Bibi?” — the question is why aren’t they telling you? This is how narrative management works. Information is not released based on truth — it’s released based on timing, strategy, and desired outcome. When something doesn’t fit the script, it gets buried, delayed, or outright ignored. That’s not journalism, that’s gatekeeping. From a prophetic standpoint, Israel is always front and center, exactly where your King James Bible says it will be. Everything that happens in that tiny strip of land has global consequences, and leaders like Netanyahu are not just political figures — they are key players on a stage that is moving, inch by inch, toward the time of Jacob’s trouble. You are watching the pieces move.

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7 (KJB)

Whether this absence is strategic, medical, political, or something else entirely, one thing is certain — when information is withheld, it is because someone, somewhere, has decided you are better off not knowing. And that is always when you should lean in closer, not back away. Keep your eyes open. Watch Israel. Watch the silence just as much as you watch the headlines. Because sometimes what they don’t say is the biggest story of all.

FALSE FLAG ALERT: As Unidentified Drones Tauntingly Fly Over The Homes Of Marco Rubio And Pete Hegseth, The Pentagon Is Apparently Powerless To Stop It

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

U.S. officials detected unidentified drones above the Washington Army base where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live, according to three people briefed on the situation.

Let’s not pretend this is normal. You’re being told in the news this morning that drones — some of them possibly drones from foreign-made Shahed-type platforms — are flying over or near sensitive locations tied to high-level government figures like Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth… and that, according to Pete Hegseth, the all-powerful and maximumly lethal Department of War is essentially shrugging its shoulders and unable to do anything about it? We’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it ends.

“Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.” Zechariah 5:1 (KJB)

The same Pentagon that can track a heat signature halfway across the world, the same system that can lock onto a moving target from space, the same military that spends hundreds of billions of dollars annually on air defense, radar, and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) — suddenly can’t identify or stop a handful of slow-moving drones over domestic airspace? That can only mean one thing – get ready for a major false flag event. World War Trump is not going as planned, and people really haven’t done their patriotic duty to forget about the Epstein Files, so cue the ‘Jersey Drones’ and let’s get ourselves a distraction. I know this much, if our government cannot, or will not, stop drones from flying over the homes of important cabinet members like Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, what do you think they’ll do for me and you? You know.

Drones over base where Rubio, Hegseth live raise security concerns

FROM THE WASHINGTON POST: The military is monitoring potential threats more closely because of the heightened alert level as the United States and Israel strike Iran, according to a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters. Multiple drones were spotted over Fort Lesley J. McNair on a single night in the last 10 days, the official said, prompting increased security measures and a meeting at the White House to discuss how to respond.

The drone sightings in Washington come as the U.S. issued a global security alert for overseas diplomatic posts and locked down several domestic bases because of threats. This week, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey and MacDill Air Force Base in Florida raised their force protection level to Charlie — a designation that means the commander has intelligence indicating an attack or danger is possible. The only higher alert level, Delta, is for when an attack has occurred or is anticipated.

The drones over Fort McNair prompted officials to weigh relocating Rubio and Hegseth, two of the people briefed said. The senior administration official said the secretaries haven’t moved. Their quarters on the base were publicly reported by multiple outlets in October. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell declined to discuss the drones. “The department cannot comment on the secretary’s movements for security reasons, and reporting on such movements is grossly irresponsible,” he said. The State Department did not respond to requests for comment.

Twice this week officials locked down facilities at MacDill Air Force Base, home to U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for U.S. military operations against Iran. The FBI is now investigating a suspicious package that closed the base’s visitors center for hours Monday, and on Wednesday an unspecified security incident left the base under a shelter-in-place order for hours, the base said in a statement.

“To ensure the safety and security of our people and the mission, commanders adjust their installation’s security posture in accordance with local threat assessments,” an Air Force spokesperson said in a statement.

On Tuesday, the State Department ordered all U.S. diplomatic posts worldwide to “immediately” undertake security evaluations, citing “the ongoing and developing situation in the Middle East and the potential for spillover effects,” according to a cable reviewed by The Washington Post.

Fort McNair houses the National Defense University and some of the Pentagon’s most senior military officials. The base has not traditionally housed political leaders, but a growing number of Trump officials, including outgoing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem, have moved onto area bases, citing security concerns. McNair is conveniently located close to Capitol Hill and the White House. But it does not have the same safety buffer as other bases in the capital region.

Similar drone threats surfaced surrounding President Donald Trump and other top officials in recent years as Iranian leaders sought revenge for the U.S. strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in 2020, according to U.S. officials spanning both the Trump and Biden administrations.

Amid the escalating Middle East conflict, where Iran is targeting Gulf nations, US officials spotted unidentified drones over a Washington Army base housing Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Authorities have not yet determined the drones’ origin.

Chaplain Huseth At The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Correctional Center In Alabama Has Reached Out To Let Us Know Of Their Need For Bibles

Inmates Inside Baldwin County Jail In Alabama Are Actively Asking For King James Bibles As Chaplain Huseth Reaches Out With Urgent Need

The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Corrections Center (BCSCC) is a full-service detention facility located in Bay Minette, Alabama. Operated by the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO), it houses adult male and female inmates, including pre-trial detainees, those serving misdemeanor sentences, and federal inmates under contract with the U.S. Marshals Service. In 2025, they underwent a $70 million dollar expansion of their faculties, not a penny of which was allocated to purchasing Bibles. Chaplain Huseth can’t find Bibles for his inmates anywhere, so he turned to us.

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;” Colossians 1:25 (KJB)

While most of the world rushes headlong into darkness, something very different is happening behind the locked doors of the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Correctional Center in Alabama. Chaplain Huseth has reached out to Bibles Behind Bars with an urgent request—not for programs, not for counseling, not for religion—but for King James Bibles. They don’t want entertainment. They don’t want rehabilitation theory. They want the word of God.

Inside those cells are men and women who have run out of road. The noise is gone and the distractions have faded away. And for many of them, perhaps for the first time in their lives, they are being forced to think about sin, judgment, and eternity. And when that happens, something incredible begins to take place, they start asking for a Bible. That’s not coincidence. That’s the Holy Spirit of God moving in a place most people will never go.

We have seen it again and again through Bibles Behind Bars: jailhouses turning into mission fields, hardened criminals sitting quietly reading Scripture, and men who never cared about God suddenly unable to put the Book down. Because when the word of God goes in, everything changes. Right now, Baldwin County is wide open. Right now, souls are ready. Right now, there is a chaplain standing in the gap asking for the one thing that can actually change a man from the inside out. The question isn’t whether the need is real. The question is—will we answer it? We need you, Christian, come help us!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
