From AFP: – Denied the right to travel without consent from their male guardians and banned from driving, women in Saudi Arabia are now monitored by an electronic system that tracks any cross-border movements.

“This is technology used to serve backwardness in order to keep women imprisoned,” said Bishr, the columnist.

Since last week, Saudi women’s male guardians began receiving text messages on their phones informing them when women under their custody leave the country, even if they are travelling together.

Manal al-Sherif, who became the symbol of a campaign launched last year urging Saudi women to defy a driving ban, began spreading the information on Twitter, after she was alerted by a couple.

The husband, who was travelling with his wife, received a text message from the immigration authorities informing him that his wife had left the international airport in Riyadh.

“The authorities are using technology to monitor women,” said columnist Badriya al-Bishr, who criticised the “state of slavery under which women are held” in the ultra-conservative kingdom.

Women are not allowed to leave the kingdom without permission from their male guardian, who must give his consent by signing what is known as the “yellow sheet” at the airport or border.

The move by the Saudi authorities was swiftly condemned on social network Twitter — a rare bubble of freedom for millions in the kingdom — with critics mocking the decision.

“Hello Taliban, herewith some tips from the Saudi e-government!” read one post.

“Why don’t you cuff your women with tracking ankle bracelets too?” wrote Israa.

“Why don’t we just install a microchip into our women to track them around?” joked another.

“If I need an SMS to let me know my wife is leaving Saudi Arabia, then I’m either married to the wrong woman or need a psychiatrist,” tweeted Hisham.

“This is technology used to serve backwardness in order to keep women imprisoned,” said Bishr, the columnist.

“It would have been better for the government to busy itself with finding a solution for women subjected to domestic violence” than track their movements into and out of the country.

Saudi Arabia applies a strict interpretation of sharia, or Islamic law, and is the only country in the world where women are not allowed to drive.

In June 2011, female activists launched a campaign to defy the ban, with many arrested for doing so and forced to sign a pledge they will never drive again.

No law specifically forbids women in Saudi Arabia from driving, but the interior minister formally banned them after 47 women were arrested and punished after demonstrating in cars in November 1990.

Last year, King Abdullah — a cautious reformer — granted women the right to vote and run in the 2015 municipal elections, a historic first for the country.

In January, the 89-year-old monarch appointed Sheikh Abdullatif Abdel Aziz al-Sheikh, a moderate, to head the notorious religious police commission, which enforces the kingdom’s severe version of sharia law.

Following his appointment, Sheikh banned members of the commission from harassing Saudi women over their behaviour and attire, raising hopes a more lenient force will ease draconian social constraints in the country.

But the kingdom’s “religious establishment” is still to blame for the discrimination of women in Saudi Arabia, says liberal activist Suad Shemmari.

“Saudi women are treated as minors throughout their lives even if they hold high positions,” said Shemmari, who believes “there can never be reform in the kingdom without changing the status of women and treating them” as equals to men.

But that seems a very long way off

The kingdom enforces strict rules governing mixing between the sexes, while women are forced to wear a veil and a black cloak, or abaya, that covers them from head to toe except for their hands and faces.

The many restrictions on women have led to high rates of female unemployment, officially estimated at around 30 percent.

In October, local media published a justice ministry directive allowing all women lawyers who have a law degree and who have spent at least three years working in a lawyer’s office to plead cases in court.

But the ruling, which was to take effect this month, has not been implemented. source- France 24

An Urgent Request For Bibles From Our Missionary In Ukraine And 3 New Jails Join The Bibles Behind Bars Family To Jumpstart This 4th Of July Weekend

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Maybe you’re celebrating the 4th of July with fireworks, but at Bibles Behind Bars we are rejoicing for this massive open door of Bible outreach the Lord has given us

When it rains, it pours, and requests for Bibles in English, Spanish and Ukrainian are pouring in this week. I just got this email from Bro. Jean and he writes “I am right now in Odessa, Ukraine handing out and placing Chick tracts in the Russian and the Ukrainian language. We sure could use some more Ukranian Bibles, thank you in advance!” Talk about a ‘letter from the front’, that’s about as real deal as it gets. We are boxing up his request right now, and looking at 3 new jails who just joined the ‘Triple B’ family.

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 (KJB)

The Hardin County Detention Center in Elizabethtown, Kentucky needs King James Bibles. Chaplain Joshua Shaffer wrote and told us “At this facility there are 648 beds but there more inmates than that due to them having to sleep in canoes so it would be close to around 700 inmates. We would take whatever amount of Bibles the Lord would provide for us. Thank you!” Inmates sleeping in canoes? Just imagine how precious a Bible would be to an inmate sleeping in a canoe, more precious than fine gold.

The Joe Corley Processing Center in Conroe, Texas needs Spanish Bibles. Chaplain Daigle writes saying “At our Facility, we have a large Spanish population, and we are in need of Spanish Bibles, Thank you.”

Leake County Correctional in Carthage, Mississippi needs King James Bible as well as devotional reading material. Chaplain Vasquez writes and says “We are a super regional with 450 county and state inmates both male and female. The inmates are very hungry for The Word and a good Bible to draw closer to God. It is becoming harder to receive donated Bibles as many sources aren’t supplying any until next year. Your support will be very much appreciated by the inmates and staff.” Another one of the dozens of jails who have been abandoned by their previous Bible suppliers who now turn to Bibles Behind Bars in near desperation for supplies. Praise the Lord we can meet the need!!

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.

A Hymn Dedicated To Ancient Babylon And Sung To The God Marduk Has Been Discovered After 2,100 Years Using AI In Stunning Revelation 17 Harbinger

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

A hymn dedicated to the ancient city of Babylon and sung to the god Marduk has been discovered after 2,100 years with the help of AI

The Bible doesn’t mention a Babylonian god named ‘Marduk’, but it does talk a lot about the gods of Babylon especially in the book of Daniel. But we know from this song ‘Hymn of Babylon’ that the god Marduk is referred to as the ‘architect of the universe’, so that would make him the main god. In Jeremiah 50:2 we read about the fall of the gods of Babylon, Bel and Merodach. In all likelihood, Merodach is Marduk, and the Strong’s reference H4781 says that Merodach is Marduk in ancient Assyrian.

“Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.” Jeremiah 50:2 (KJB)

“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” Revelation 18:2 (KJB)

Christian, we are living at the very tail end of the Church Age, and we will soon be removed in the Rapture. After we leave, the time of Jacob’s trouble will commence and Babylon as described in Revelation 17 and 18 will take center stage. News reports like this only strengthens my faith in the unfolding end times happening all around us. Babylon will rise, as we see in Revelation 17 and 18, and a hymn dedicated to its most-powerful god, lost for 2,100 years, and now brought back to us through AI is some crazy stuff. Think God is trying to show us something? I do.

Hymn of Babylon is pieced together after 2,100 YEARS: Scientists use AI to reconstruct ancient song

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Sung to the god Marduk, patron deity of the great city, the poem describes Babylon’s flowing rivers, jeweled gates, and ‘bathed priests’ in stunning detail. Although the song was lost to time after Alexander the Great captured the city, fragments of clay tablets survived in the ruins of Sippar, a city 40 miles to the North.

In a process that would have taken ‘decades’ to complete by hand, researchers used AI to piece together 30 different tablet pieces and recover the lost hymn. Originally 250 lines long, scientists have been able to translate a third of the original cuneiform text. These lines reveal a uniquely rich and detailed description of aspects of Babylonian life that had never been recorded before.

Lead researcher Professor Enrique Jiménez, of Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU), told MailOnline that the hymn’s literary quality is ‘exceptional’.

‘It’s meticulously structured, with each section flowing seamlessly into the next,’ he said.

The hymn begins with grand praise to the god Marduk, calling him the ‘architect of the universe’. The poem’s author then turns to the city of Babylon, describing it as a rich paradise of abundance.

The hymn writes: ‘Like the sea, Babylon proffers her yield, like a garden of fruit, she flourishes in her charms, like a wave, her swell brings her bounties rolling in.’ There are also descriptions of the river Euphrates, which still runs through modern-day Iraq, and its floodplains upon which ‘herds and flocks lie on verdant pastures’.

If You Study History, The Fact That New Federal Prison Alligator Alcatraz Was Built From The Ground Up In Only 8 Days Should Terrify You, Seriously

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The first photos of ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ give a bleak inside look at the new migrant center deep in the Florida Everglades — as authorities prepare to stash up to 5,000 detainees in wire cages.

The Dachau Concentration Camp was established in March 1933, shortly after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, and it was not created initially to slaughter Jews by the millions. Far from it, Dachau was a repurposed former military base that held opponents of the Nazi regime, political dissidents and illegal aliens. The establishment of the camp also aimed to scare the German people into obeying and supporting the Nazi regime. In short, it was a terrifying place you would never want to be sent to. Alligator Alcatraz is such a place, with the terror level hitting a 10 on the end times meter. The fact that the whole camp was built, from start to finish in 8 days, should terrify you. You better pray this isn’t the first of many, and that’s the memo.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB) 

If you think comparing Alligator Alcatraz to the Dachau concentration camp is “a bridge too far”, you might want to go back and read about everything you missed in history class when you were back in high school. Dachau was simply a holding center for foreigners and political enemies, right up to the day that it wasn’t. Dachau became the template for what would spread to multiple countries and eventually killing 12 million people. With the construction of Alligator Alcatraz, funded by the people at FEMA, we now have a template for camps that can be built in all 50 states in under 2 weeks apiece. Trump said this yesterday: “Well, I think would like to see them in many states. Really, many states,” the president said. “And, you know, at some point, they might morph into a system.” Dachau was a holding center, then it became a system and finally an industry. Already, plans are in the works for another massive immigrant center on the site of Camp Blanding here in Clay County, Florida.

“The request for proposals is out,” said Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, referencing a government process for seeking bids from contractors. “… It closes Wednesday at 5 o’clock. Then we will do notice to proceed. So, I would say right after our wonderful Independence Day, we will be starting construction there at that facility.

And tick, tock, goes the end times clock. Happy Independence Day.

Stark first photos from inside ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ reveal bleak digs for up to 5,000 migrants

FROM THE NY POST: Video taken during a tour by President Trump on Tuesday revealed rows upon rows of empty industrial metal bunk beds enclosed in hastily constructed cages made up of chain fences.

“Biden wanted me in here, that son of a b—h,” President Trump said jokingly Tuesday as he was shown around the vast secure facility hidden within the subtropical wetlands of South Florida teeming with alligators, crocodiles and pythons.

“I looked outside, and that’s not a place I want to go hiking anytime soon,” Trump told reporters after his tour. “We’re surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland, and the only way out is really deportation.”

The complex, located at the Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport, will cost an estimated $450 million a year to operate, and the first migrants are set to arrive as soon as Wednesday. Some of the cost of the facility — which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said was built in just eight days — will be reimbursed from FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program, officials said.

The site features at least 200 security cameras, 28,000 feet of barbed wire and more than 400 security personnel, officials said.

Dubbed ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ or “Gator Gitmo,” the state-built facility in Florida’s infamous Alligator Alley aims to help ICE reach its migrant deportation targets. It lies in the middle of Route 41 — the road that crosses the south of the Sunshine State from Miami to Naples.

“There’s only one road leading in, and the only way out is a one-way flight,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday ahead of President Trump’s visit. “It is isolated and surrounded by dangerous wildlife and unforgiving terrain.”

Former President Obama said jokingly in 2011 that Republicans were so hardline, they would demand to use alligators to deter illegal immigrants — and Trump and DeSantis have now made that a reality. The Trump administration has played up the dangerous gator-infested surroundings of the center, sharing memes of alligators wearing ICE hats on Department of Homeland Security social-media accounts and even selling “Alligator Alcatraz”-related merchandise.

Around 100 National Guard troops will be sent to the site about 37 miles from Miami to help provide security, DeSantis said Tuesday. Trump said jokingly that new detainees were going to be taught how to evade alligators by Homeland Security.

“We’re going to teach them how to run away from an alligator, OK, if they escape from prison,” he said. “How to run away. Don’t run in a straight line. Run like this,” he added, making zigzag motions with his hands.

Opponents have slammed the scheme as inhumane, with one X user comparing footage of the site to “a concentration camp” and adding that they couldn’t see any air conditioning or vents inside the facility. READ MORE
