Christian Preacher In London Is Arrested After He Dared To Preach ‘Only Two Genders’ As The Book Of Genesis Declares In Your King James Bible

This is the moment police pulled an elderly Christian preacher off his podium and arrested him for making 'homophobic statements' - after supporters say he refused to stop reading from the Bible about how God wanted families to be headed by a 'father and a mother'.

Let's see now, we have vaccinesbiometric passports, the New World Ordermandatory masking, there are so many rockets being fired off right now it's hard to know where to look first. But in the midst of all this end times insanity, we need to remember there is a goal, there is a target that the opposition wants to reach. That goal is the hated gospel of the grace of God inside the pages of your King James Bible, and pity the man or woman who dares open their mouth to preach in the name of the Lord.

"But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost." Mark 13:9-11 (KJB)

We always knew this time would arrive, as we have watched the slow but unstoppable rise of the LGBTQ+ Movement and their relentless push to remove the bible from society and to bring in the doctrine of Antichrist. The man in our story today was arrested and released, but the day is coming where street preachers will be arrested and put to death for daring to preach the gospel of the grace of God. What should the reaction of the bible believer be? Get out on the streets where you live, lift up your voice and PREACH!!!! That's what Paul did, and we should do no less.

"And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God." Acts 20:22-24 (KJB)

Women heard shouting 'this is a Christian country' as the street preacher is led away in handcuffs by police

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Two women can be heard shouting 'this is a Christian country' as two policemen lead the 71-year-old man away when he refused to stop addressing the crowd outside Uxbridge Station in West London. Police said they had received complaints the man had been making 'allegedly homophobic comments' and arrested him under the Public Order Act, which can be used under the vague proviso that someone is using 'abusive or insulting words' that cause 'harm' to someone else.  He was later released without charge.

A statement posted to a Christian Facebook his supporters read: 'Whilst he was preaching, he expounded the final verses of Genesis 1, declaring that God's purpose in creating mankind was to set human beings in families, headed by a father and a mother, not by two fathers, or by two mothers.

'The distinction within mankind of just two genders, male and female, made in the image of God, constitutes the essence of God's created order.'

Earlier in the footage, filmed on Friday, two officers can be seen urging the man to step down from the footstool telling him: 'You're under arrest.' The pastor repeatedly refuses, prompting both officers to take him by the hands and guide him down from the steps. A struggle then ensues as the older man appears to free himself from the police officers' grip. Several onlookers, including an older woman and a barking dog jumping into the fray.

The two police officers then struggle to cuff the man as one tells him: 'I don't want you getting hurt.' He is then marched away from the crowd by one of the cops as several onlookers can be seen with their mobile phones out. A woman behind the camera says: 'For a man preaching about Christianity, look at how he's ripping him.'

Pastor Peter Simpson, Minister of Penn Free Methodist Church in Buckinghamshire, who was preaching with Pastor Sherwood before the arrest, said: 'Everything he said was bible based. He was not saying anything abusive; he is a Christian minister. There did not seem to be any recognition from the police that Christian ministers and such views exist.

'If there was a Pride parade in Uxbridge, the police would support it even if Christians were offended.

'You don't have to be an evangelical Christian to be shocked by this. Anyone who cares about liberty should be concerned about what happened in Uxbridge. 'This is about defending our Christian civilisation, or what is left of it. The belief in Genesis 1:27 is fundamental to Christian belief.

'This arrest of a faithful minister for doing nothing other than declaring what the Bible teaches about one of the important moral issues of our time reveals a dangerous assault upon freedom of speech and, not least, upon the freedom of Christian pastors to declare in public all that the Bible teaches. The State has no right to designate that some parts of God's word are no-go areas.

'Whatever one's personal views on homosexuality might be, it is surely pertinent to ask what kind of nation have we become that the minister of a Christian church is arrested for upholding in the public square the very truths which Her Majesty the Queen promised to uphold in her Coronation Oath in 1953, with a Bible in her hand?'

Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said: 'Street preaching has a long and honoured history in the UK. In many ways it is symbolic of the kind of freedoms we have treasured in this nation. So to see a 75-year-old pastor arrested in such a manner for preaching the gospel in London is deeply concerning. READ MORE

The End Times Forecaster With "War or Nuclear Breakout; That is the Question".

 

War or Nuclear Breakout; That is the Question.

Posted: 28 Apr 2021 05:20 AM PDT

  


The latest reports out of Israel are that Iran is 3 to 4 months away from “breakout.” 

But Israel’s overriding focus is on Iran’s furtive advance on its objective. According to its intelligence services, Iran hs been creeping forward to breakout time for a nuclear weapon and reached a point no more than 3-4 months away from this target.https://www.debka.com/iran-is-just-3-4-months-from-breakout-says-israeli-intel-whos-to-stop-it/ 

And just what is breakout? 

In technical terms, breakout refers to when a state achieves nuclear weapons capability as a fait accompli before it can be stopped by diplomatic pressure or military action.  

Opinions differ on what constitutes “nuclear weapons capability,” but it is generally accepted as the moment when a country has enough fissile material to make one nuclear device.https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/iranian-nuclear-breakout-what-it-and-how-calculate-it 

Israel has stated many times over that they will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. Thus if the data about breakout is accurate and Israel keeps its promise and will not let Iran have nuclear weapons, then we will be coming to an inflection point—war or breakout? 

And if it is war it could be the beginning of the infamous coming Mid-East centered WW3. 

How Will the Plan Unfold?  

How will the culmination of this plan produce the New World Order with the antichrist as the world ruler? The framework of this plan was given to Albert Pike on January 22, 1870. This plan was kept secret for many years, but was revealed by former Illuminati, Doc Marquis, in his book Secrets of the Illuminati. Marquis tells us that Pike received this plan from a “guiding spirit.” In other words, he received this plan for the establishment of the New World Order from satan or one of his demons. The major components of the plan entailed the fighting of three world wars. 

The First World War was designed to overthrow czarist Russia and establish communism.[1]The Second World War was to be started by Britain and Germany and had as its eventual goal the strengthening of Russia into a superpower.[2]As we know from history, both objectives were fulfilled. Officially, some claim Pike’s letter is a fake. However the contents of the letter were revealed to the public just after WWI, and the fact that WWII fulfilled the plan in the letter is proof that it is authentic.

The Third World War is supposed to be triggered by war between Judaism and Islam and will eventually spread to the whole world. Listen to what Albert Pike said about WWIII: 

The third World War must be formented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the ‘agentur’ of the ‘Illuminati’ between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam and political Zionism mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on the issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity…will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in public view.[3] The Coming Epiphany; p. 163

So if Iran is near breakout and if Israel will not allow that to happen, then we may be very close to seeing the Mid-East centered WW3. And what do the little silver men say about WW3? 

There is a group of people in Thailand that are in contact with E.T.s and they have communicated to them that WW3 will occur by 2022.

The aliens give members information about the future of humanity, warning about ecological dangers or global conflicts. One group member revealed that the aliens told him that World War 3 will begin by 2022...

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Elon Musk’s SpaceX Dragon Falcon 9 Rocket Reaches Outer Space Only To Be Greeted By UFO, Says NASA

by Geoffrey Grider

Any day now, prepare yourself to see with your eyes the creatures lost people refer to 'space aliens', because they have arrived and seem to be raring to get started.

Since the last half of 2019, we've been telling you to prepare yourselves for the return of the fallen angels and the Genesis 6 Giants, their time on the prophetic stage is about to begin and for many months now we've been watching them "warm up" for their big appearance. Elon Musk and his Dragon space capsule got a taste of that over the weekend. Ready or not, here they come.

"But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Matthew 24:37 (KJB)

On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, we are coming back to one of our favorite subjects, fallen angels and the Genesis 6 giants, and why do we like that topic so much? Because Jesus tells us that that will herald the start of the time of Jacob's trouble, and that means the Pretribulation Rapture is even that much closer! Any day now, prepare yourself to see with your eyes the creatures lost people refer to 'space aliens', because they have arrived and seem to be raring to get started. Ironically, or perhaps intentionally, Elon Musk has named his space capsule the Dragon, the same name given to Satan in Revelation 12. Because I read and believe my King James Bible, and the Holy Spirit gives me discernment, figuring this stuff out is easier than eating a hot fudge sundae, and ten times more fun! We are living in the days of prophecy as it is being fulfilled before our eyes, buckle up, it's time to fly.

HOW LOW CAN THIS DISGUSTING POPE GO? Pope Francis Hangs Image Of A Naked Jesus Caressing The Dead Body Of Judas Truly Exposing The Demonic Nature Of The Roman Catholic Church

Pope Francis Hangs Image Of A Naked Jesus Caressing The Dead Body Of Judas Truly Exposing The Demonic Nature Of The Roman Catholic Church

by Geoffrey Grider

pope-francis-painting-judas-scandal-mercy-roman-catholic-church-antichrist

JUDAS & THE SCANDAL OF MERCY: A report by the Vatican's own newspaper reveals Pope Francis recently hung an image behind his desk depicting a naked Jesus Christ caressing his dead apostle Judas Iscariot.

In the bible, Judas is not only a devil, a liar, a thief and a traitor, he is also the SOP, the son of perdition from 2 Thessalonians 2 who will one day soon return to this earth as Antichrist. Judas does not get forgiven by Jesus Christ, just as Satan receives no forgiveness and neither do the fallen angels. So why, you may ask, does Pope Francis and the official Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano have a love for Judas the devil? Well, you know what they say, 'devils of a feather flock together', or something like that.

"Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" John 6:70 (KJB)

Pope Francis is attracted to lots of devilish things, and has often preached against people having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, so it is little wonder that this evil man would hang a picture of a naked Jesus giving 'aid and comfort' to His declared enemy, Judas. Judas died unforgiven, went to his 'own place' as Acts 1:25 (KJB) shows us, and is awaiting to call to get in the game as the physical embodiment of Antichrist in the days after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church takes place. Pope Francis will be on hand to welcome the return of Judas, and assist him as the False Prophet of Revelation 13.

Pope Francis hangs blasphemous image of a 'nude Jesus' caressing Judas behind his desk at the Vatican

FROM WND: In an article titled "Judas and the Scandal of Mercy," L'Osservatore Romano dedicated the first three pages of its edition the day before Good Friday to a makeover of the disciple who betrayed the Son of God at the Passover.

The author of the lead editorial, Andrea Monda, said the paper chose this year to honor the "most tragic and unsettling" figure of the Gospel.

Monda explains that the author of this painting is a French Catholic who became impressed by Francis' words praising the Traitor in his book "When You Pray, Say Our Father." The artist imagines that after Jesus was crucified, He would have returned to life immediately, gone to the fig tree and taken down Judas' body and ministered to it. Monda also reports that Francis loved this painting so much that he has placed it on the wall behind his desk along with another representing Judas.

The inside pages of the Vatican paper feature a sermon by Fr. Primo Mazzolari saying that he believes Judas was forgiven by Our Lord; a brief comment by Card. Carlo Maria Martini on Mazzolari's sermon, saying that each of us can have a Judas inside himself; a text by Giovanni Papini arguing that Judas must have had an ulterior motive to betray Christ because 30 silver coins did not have that great a worth; and a text by Giuseppe Berto impersonating Judas who affirms that Jesus owes His glorification to him. READ MORE

As Rockets Fired From Gaza Continue To Fall Over Israel For Second Day In A Row, Benjamin Netanyahu Says IDF Is ‘Prepared For Any Scenario’

As Rockets Fired From Gaza Continue To Fall Over Israel For Second Day In A Row, Benjamin Netanyahu Says IDF Is ‘Prepared For Any Scenario’

by Geoffrey Grider

Palestinian terrorists launched at least two rockets toward southern Israel on Saturday night, one of which was shot down while the other struck an open field, as attacks from the enclave continued into a second day and threatened to intensify.

You can see this one coming from a mile away, rocket fire from Gaza intensifying as Biden administration announces full support for the Abraham Accords via something called the ‘Israel Relations Normalization Act of 2021’.

"To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD." Ezekiel 13:16 (KJB) 

So even if every Muslim nation in the Middle East signs up to 'normalize relations' with the Jewish state, that really doesn't solve the problem, does it? There won't be any 'peace' in the Middle East until Israel and the Palestinians make it, and only the Two-State Solution will do that. Prepare for that, the rebuilding of the Temple, and the return of the Genesis 6 giants.

Two rockets fired from Gaza into Israel as fighting enters second day

FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: The first rocket attack came at 9 p.m., triggering sirens in the town of Sderot and nearby communities, sending residents into bomb shelters. Soldiers operating the Iron Dome shot down the incoming projectile, the Israel Defense Forces said.  An 18-year-old woman suffered an acute anxiety attack because of the alarms and was treated at the nearby Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, the hospital said.

The second launch occurred an hour and a half later, causing alarms to sound in the community of Kibbutz Nirim, just east of southern Gaza. According to the IDF, the rocket landed in an open field near the security fence, without causing injury or damage. News outlets in the Strip reported that two additional rockets were launched at the same time, but failed to clear the border and landed within Gazan territory.

The attacks Saturday were the latest in a series of barrages from the Gaza Strip, beginning late Friday night. The launch of the rocket headed toward Sderot from the area of Jabaliya in northern Gaza was captured by an Israeli security camera. Palestinian terror groups have said that the rocket attacks were responses to ongoing unrest in Jerusalem, where far-right Israeli nationalists have held violent, racist demonstrations and where Arab residents of the capital have attacked a number of Jewish Israelis.

Israeli leaders have called for calm on all sides in Jerusalem, though police on Saturday night prepared for the violence to continue.

Over the course of Friday night and the predawn hours of Saturday morning, terrorists in the enclave launched at least 36 projectiles into southern Israel — toward the city of Ashkelon and the Eshkol, Sdot Negev, Sha’ar Hanegev and Hof Ashkelon regions — several of which landed inside Israeli communities, where they damaged a number of buildings and vehicles. Six of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome, according to the IDF.

In retaliation, Israeli fighter jets bombed a number of Hamas in Gaza, including rocket launchers and underground infrastructure, and an IDF tank also struck a Hamas observation post on the border. In light of the attacks, the military issued a number of safety instructions to residents of southern Israel, keeping people away from the border and limiting the sizes of crowds.

Israeli officials warned that if the rocket attacks returned on Saturday night, this could lead to a wider conflict.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the military to “prepare for any scenario” with Gaza. Defense Minister Benny Gantz similarly said that the Israel Defense Forces “will do what is necessary so the calm is preserved,” following security consultations at defense headquarters in Tel Aviv.

IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi also canceled his planned visit to Washington, DC, amid concerns that the fighting in Gaza would escalate, the military said.

Israel and Hamas have maintained an uneasy ceasefire over the past year, with Jerusalem allowing additional international investment and assistance to the beleaguered enclave in exchange for calm by terror groups in the Strip. READ MORE

MARY MOTHER OF GOD, THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN - What Blasphemies As Pope Francis Announces ‘Marathon Month’ Of Global Prayer That Will Use 30 Shrines Of Mary Asking Her To Cure COVID And End The Pandemic

 

New post on Now The End Begins

Pope Francis Announces ‘Marathon Month’ Of Global Prayer That Will Use 30 Shrines Of Mary Asking Her To Cure COVID And End The Pandemic

by Geoffrey Grider

pope-francis-announces-marathon-month-global-prayer-30-marian-shrines-mary-worship-covid-ramadan-roman-catholic-church

Pope Francis has announced a 'marathon' month of prayer throughout May with the aim of ending the Covid-19 pandemic, month will involve 30 Marian shrines, which are dedicated to the Virgin Mary, across the globe which will encourage worshippers to pray.

Catholics will tell you that they 1). do not worship Mary, and 2). that they don't pray to Mary. So starting May 1st, Roman Catholics around the world will follow their leader, Pope Francis, in uniting around 30 shrines of the 'virgin Mary', asking her, Mary, to bring an end to the COVID pandemic.

"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." Jeremiah 7:18 (KJB)

The closing prayer at the end of the Catholic rosary says "Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears." That is absolutely praying to Mary, that is absolutely worshipping Mary, and that is absolutely idolatry.

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

Month of prayer will be held in May and involve 30 Marian shrines across world asking Mary to cure COVID

FROM DAILY MAIL UK: The Pope has encouraged Catholics around the world to dedicate next month to praying for the end of the virus which has seen more than three million people die.

The month will involve 30 Marian shrines, which are dedicated to the Virgin Mary, across the globe which will encourage worshippers to pray, reports the official Vatican News website.  'The initiative will involve all the Shrines of the world in a special way, so that they might encourage the faithful, families, and communities to recite the Rosary to pray for an end to the pandemic,' the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization said in a statement.

The Pope, who has faced criticism over his reluctance to wear a face mask, will open the month of prayer on May 1 with a holy Rosary online broadcast. For 31 days, the recitation of the Rosary from the various Shrines taking part in the month of prayer will be broadcast by Vatican News with the hope of ending the pandemic.

WHY IS MARY CRYING? CLICK TO FIND OUT!

The global death toll from Covid-19 has surpassed 3 million, with the latest million virus casualties coming in just three months. Meanwhile, the number of cases has soared to more than 141 million. Pope Francis will close 'marathon' month with another specially-broadcast prayer. The move comes after the Pope marked Easter Sunday with an address with called for vaccines to be shared with poorer countries. He also said he prays that the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions will be lifted soon.

'Dear brothers and sisters, once again this year, in various places, many Christians have celebrated Easter under severe restrictions and, at times, without being able to attend liturgical celebrations,' he said. 'We pray that those restrictions, as well as all restrictions on freedom of worship and religion worldwide, may be lifted and everyone be allowed to pray and praise God freely.'

Last month, the pontiff marked a second Palm Sunday during the pandemic and warned 'the Devil is taking advantage of the crisis to sow distrust, desperation and discord'.

The pontiff traditionally leads a Palm Sunday procession through St Peter's Square in front of tens of thousands of pilgrims and tourists clutching olive branches and braided palms before celebrating an outdoor Mass.

But as the Pope did last spring, just weeks after the Covid-19 outbreak erupted in Italy and the country became the epicentre of the European epidemic, he led the solemn service that begins Holy Week inside St Peter's Basilica. READ MORE
