Pedophilia: The Last Sin to Go

There are many end-time prophetic signs pointing us to the nearness of the tribulation hour. In the last few years, I have noticed a warning that is related to the general state of our society. Our generation has simply run out of sins to violate.

Around 100 years ago, preachers were proclaiming dancing, stores being opened on Sunday and Jazz music as an indication that the world was given over to the devil. Today, grievous sins like gay marriage, hardcore drug use, and late-term abortion are viewed as lost causes by most churches.

The only sin I can think of that is still seen as a moral taboo is Pedophilia. In the past few months, I’ve seen strong indication that Satan’s minions are rapidly chipping away at this depravity.

A new California law will lower penalties for sexual relations with minor. The bill, SB 145, removed the requirement for offenders to register as a sex offender after committing certain sex acts with minors within a 10-year age difference. Gov. Gavin Newsom, the former mayor of San Francisco, was widely praised in the press for signing this bill into law.

State Senator Scott Wiener, who introduced the bill, claims it is meant to treat LGBT offenders the same as heterosexual offenders. His crazy logic centers on there being more homosexual pedophiles than heterosexual pedophiles, so they need greater protection.

“This distinction between vaginal intercourse and other forms of intercourse is a relic of California’s discriminatory past, and it’s time to bring an end to it,” said Weiner.

Wiener continued: “Going on the sex-offender registry can ruin a young person’s life, making it harder for them to find a job and housing. We need to put an end to this terrible discrimination.”

The internet movie site Netflix generated outrage when it ran a promotion for a movie called “Cutie.” The graphic that first promoted the film strongly implied that the company was expanding into the world of child porn. The movie has eleven-year-old girls twerking, spanking themselves, and doing all manner of sensual dance routines.

Maïmouna Doucouré, the film’s director, claims the movie “is in fact a critique of the sexualization of children, specifically the Internet’s role in it.” The claim that “depiction does not equal endorsement” doesn’t work here. If someone makes a movie that shows a graphic rape scene, they can’t escape the porn label by saying the movie is against rape.

It doesn’t matter if the many characters of “Cutie” see the error of their ways at the end. The movie is gross, and anyone distributing it should be sent to jail. If you read the reviews for this movie, you have 90% of the Hollywood critics defending it against any pearl-clutching conservatives.

One of the most crafty ways the enemy is normalizing pedophilia in our society is through child drag queens. One called ‘Desmond is Amazing’ has been the subject of many news articles. Desmond Napoles is a 13-year-old boy, and he has been doing drag in gay bars since age six. A kid shouldn’t be in a bar, let alone a gay bar. One video showed him dancing on stage, disrobing of some clothes, and then taking cash from men several times his own age.

Desmond’s mother is the clear source of his misguided behavior. She just happened to have a fixation with historic pin-up girls. She took him to gay pride parades, and they watched shows on drag. Anyone blaming her for the sexualization of a child is disputed by the odd fact that she knew he was gay since age two. I can see why the lives of so many of these so-called gay kids end in suicide. It is my hope that he attempts to emancipate himself from his mother when he realizes he’s straight and has no real interest in the gay lifestyle.

Child Protective Services should have gotten active years ago. If Desmond’s mother had asked him if he wanted to try smoking crack cocaine, there would be no dispute over who’s to blame for him becoming a drug addict. Somehow a kid who has not even gone through puberty is judged fit to serve as the grand marshal of Brooklyn’s 2019 pride parade.

The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah have become synonymous with extreme depravity and immorality. Since our generation is facing the Great Tribulation wrath, on judgment day, the citizens of those towns may rise up and say, we were never as demented as these people.

“Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day” (2 Thessalonians 1:6-10).

Paul Speaks to Us

Bombardment every waking moment, through constantly churning news cycles, presents an ominous unfolding that can’t be missed by the truly spiritually attuned Christian. We’re well into the “end of days,” as the secular writers and other pundits like to term it.

We’re seeing in geopolitics the powers and principalities in their high places of wickedness doing all within their considerable abilities to bring about global government. Satan’s one-world effort to establish his Antichrist regime is well underway. Only God’s restraining hand has kept the devil from being able to complete his prophesied task—to bring to earthly power the first and second beasts of Revelation chapter 13.

In these commentaries, we’ve talked about this luciferian effort and the Lord’s staying hand at work to delay its implementation. The effort at that implementation has been especially aggressive within the United States. Attempts to bring down the American president who is anti-globalist in every respect has been almost beyond description or even belief.

In the religious realm, we’ve seen a marked refusal to stand up against the evil going on within society and culture. There is well underway an apostasy of the first order. The “falling away,” in terms of departure from faith among a growing number of Christian ministries, is made clear in the lack of opposition offered from the pulpits to that proliferating evil.

The current pope has endorsed the apostate declaration that all will eventually be in Heaven for eternity, no matter whether saint, agnostic, or atheist. He has embraced climate change as part of the growing trend toward the worship of Mother Earth. Whether Catholic or Protestant, many of the clergy in what is called Christendom are either totally in for, or totally silent on, the issues within the social justice movement so in vogue today.

Regarding those social justice issues, the apostle Paul’s words of forewarning can almost be heard echoing down through the corridors of this eerie time in history. Perilous times are indeed with us—again—every waking moment while we get the hourly and even minute-by-minute news reports from the nation and from around the world.

Paul, in 2 Timothy 3, is, it seems to me, speaking directly to this generation when he says:

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.

Let’s look at a few of these characteristics of end-times humans as the great apostle gives them and as we think on our experience as of late.

“Blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy”

Video and audio of the rioters in the various cities they have destroyed, burned, and looted contain some of the most blasphemous language imaginable. They are so vulgar, so blasphemous, that one hears almost a constant beeping the news organizations use to keep from violating broadcast etiquette and regulations.

Many of these are pampered Millennials who are college students that have never been disadvantaged in any way. They directly disrespect parents and rules of civil comportment. They exemplify Paul’s terms “unthankful” and “unholy.”

“False accusers, incontinent, fierce”

The anarchists who join the likes of Black Lives Matter and Antifa are traitorous to the nation that gave them the privileges they now violently protest. These are Communist/Marxist organizations that hate everything about America and foment its destruction. Those who, like the “useful idiots” Marx wrote about, “falsely accuse” people of America in general and the police across the country of wanting to murder people of color, particularly African Americans. These arsonists and thugs are “incontinent”—that is, they are unwilling and/or unable to control their desires to commit these insane acts of rage. They are “fierce” and launch bricks, bottles of frozen water, and Molotov cocktails at police and even at owners of private property and businesses.

All of this demonstrates, I believe we should conclude, that we are in the very last hours of this fleeting age. We must, of course, defend against the forces that want to destroy and even kill to do the service of their master, the devil. But, even though it is difficult to understand all involved in His Instruction, Jesus has an even stronger defense for us to follow while we guard against those who would do us harm. We must obey Him no matter what, and leave all the consequences to Him.

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. (Luke 6: 27–28)

BEWARE OF THOSE PROMOTING SO-CALLED “NEEDFUL THINGS”

Highlighting just a few of many articles that point out the rampant and rabid insanity we’re dealing with in these last days of the last days as us brethren await our redemption.

LAST DAYS LAWLESSNESS AND WICKEDNESS ABOUNDING

Good grief! How much more wicked can it get? A thug comes up and shoots two police officers sitting in their car, then more thugs go to the hospital where they were taken and chant, “I hope you die” along with other vile statements. And the Demo-crat politicians and their minions of mayhem actually say we need to defund the police departments?

2 gunmen open fire on home of officers in Camden; manhunt underway. A manhunt is underway for two suspects who shot up the home of two Camden County, New Jersey, police officers earlier this week. The officers and their 10-day old infant were inside their home when six rounds of bullets struck the house. Some of the bullets penetrated the home, but luckily the family was on the second floor when the gunfire erupted and no one was hit by gunfire. “I do know that this was a targeted attack against this residence and the officers inside,” said Chief Joseph Wysocki.

LAST DAYS OF LOT RETURNED

Burger King in Finland Depicts Mascot in Gay Kiss with Ronald McDonald for New Ad Campaign. The campaign appears to be in aid of Helsinki Pride Week. It also appears to have been influenced by the race politics of the Black Lives Matter movement, featuring the new version of the Pride flag topped with a black and brown stripe in order to “represent” non-white non-heterosexuals specifically. Oh, and the restaurant chain felt the need to show their competitor that “in the end, love always wins.” What those who run Burger King need to do is read what the Bible has to say about their idea of love.

Identity Politics Normalizes Pedophilia. Sacrificing children to the Cultural Revolution. Excerpt: SB-145 passed the California State Senate by 41 to 25, and Governor Newsom signed it into law even while massive wildfires were turning the skies of San Francisco an ominous red. Unlike a lot of California bills which have dramatic names, SB-145 carries a bland tag: “Sex Offenders: Registration.” Its digest curtly states, “This bill would exempt from mandatory registration under the act a person convicted of certain offenses involving minors if the person is not more than 10 years older than the minor.” A 24-year-old year-old sexually abusing a 14-year-old would qualify.

When ideas are more compelling than people, then people are sacrificed to ideas. And a society that is increasingly uninterested in the old family structures is sacrificing children to its ideas. Modern Molochs have many ideas for saving the world by passing children through the flames.

Environmentalists insist that people need to stop having children in order to save the planet. Feminists argue that people should abort children for gender equality. Activists who claim there is no gender are tinkering with children to demonstrate their ideas. Critical race theorists are indoctrinating children with their poisonously racist ideas in kindergarten. Why not throw in a little pedophilia?

Also read Todd Strandberg’s Nearing Midnight article this week at Rapture Ready titled “Pedophilia: The Last Sin to Go.”

Netflix Promotes Child Pornography. On September 11, Sen. Ted Cruz sent a letter to the Department of Justice, asking U.S. Attorney General Barr to investigate Netflix for the distribution of child pornography after it aired the full-length movie Cuties to subscribers in the United States. In Cruz’s letter, he wrote, “Netflix is currently hosting a film titled Cuties that sexualizes young girls, including dance scenes that simulate sexual activities and a scene exposing a minor’s bare breast.” Send an email letter to U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, joining 1MM (One Million Moms) and Cruz in asking him to investigate Netflix for the distribution of child pornography.

THE “PLANDEMIC”

When 2020 began, who could have imagined that a virus from China would take us closer to the tribulation? However, COVID-19 has done exactly that. Read “The Great Reset – Are We Being Conditioned For The Rise Of The Antichrist?” by Jonathan Brentner.

PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS

The Persecution of Christians Is Escalating Dramatically All Over the World. From Michael Snyder: All over the globe, thousands upon thousands of Christians are being ruthlessly killed simply because of what they believe… I had to go to Christian news websites to document what I am about to share with you, because the mainstream media avoids stories such as these like the plague. Of course, if innocent people were being systematically butchered for a reason that aligned with the various agendas that they are constantly pushing, the mainstream media would be all over this. It greatly upsets me that the deaths of Christians are treated as if they don’t really matter, and we continue to see the global persecution of Christians escalate year after year.

EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS

Tropical Storm “Beta” forms in the Gulf of Mexico, heavy rainfall expected along northwest Gulf Coast
Tropical Storm “Beta” formed in the Gulf of Mexico on September 18. This is the 23rd named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season and the 10th so far this month — a record for September.

Teddy strengthens into Category 4 hurricane, forecast to approach Bermuda this weekend
Tropical Storm “Teddy” formed on September 14 as the earliest 19th Atlantic named storm on record. The previous record for the 19th named storm was October 4 (2005) — this was initially an unnamed storm, added in post-season reanalysis. Teddy strengthened into a hurricane on September 16 — the 8th hurricane of the 2020 Atlantic season to date. Only 3 Atlantic hurricane seasons on record have had 8 hurricanes by September 16 — 1893, 2005, and 2012.

Hurricane Sally: Deadly storm leaves 550,000 without power in US
Tropical Storm Sally has left more than half a million Americans without power as its torrential rains and storm surges lashed the US Gulf coast. Sally weakened after it made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday, but the slow-moving storm continues to batter Florida and Alabama. One person was killed and hundreds were rescued from flooded areas.

Powerful storm Aila brings destructive winds and heavy rains to Finland, over 90 000 homes left without power. A powerful autumn storm named Aila swept through Finland’s central and southwestern regions late Wednesday into Thursday, September 16 to 17, bringing winds of up to 125 km/h (77 mph), high waves up to 5.8 m (19 feet), and heavy rains up to 60 mm (2.3 inches) mainly in Kajaani — equivalent to the area’s average rain for the whole month. Ferry traffic was disrupted on the northern part of the Baltic Sea, material damage was reported, and more than 90,000 households were left without electricity.

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Pope Francis to parents of L.G.B.T. children: ‘God loves your children as they are.’ One mother of a gay 40-year-old son spoke of Rev. Paolo Cugini, who helped her “understand” that “faith and homosexuality are not in opposition, and that God loves my son as he is.”… She explained how, thanks to her son, she changed her way of seeing things and has come to see that “we are fortunate parents.” And when she requested that the church, too, should change its ways so that no one feels excluded, Francis reassured them saying, “The church loves our children as they are.”

The Bible is clear on God’s position against homosexuality (Romans 1:18-32; 1 Cor 6:9-11; Jude 1:7), as well as the severe judgment against those who cause children to fall into sin (Matthew 18:6-10)!

Pope Francis Promotes Mother Earth (nature) worship and so-called “spiritual masters.” He said Wednesday that the earth, sea, and all creatures possess a “mystical capacity” to bring humanity to God and into communion with nature. He said, “As many spiritual masters have taught us, heaven, earth, sea, and every creature have an iconic capacity or mystical capacity to bring us back to the Creator and to communion with creation.” Also, he once again lamented the negative effects of global warming on “Mother Earth,” insisting that it would generate “many, many difficulties.”

We don’t need nature or so-called spiritual masters to bring us close to God. This pope is the false prophet of false prophets!

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen” (Romans 1:22-25).

GLOBAL WARMING (CLIMATE CHANGE) HOAX: RUSE FOR THE COMING GODLESS GLOBAL GOVERNMENT

Pelosi’s Purulent Propaganda: “Mother Earth is angry. She’s telling us — whether – she’s telling us with hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, fires in the West, whatever it is, that climate crisis is real and has an impact,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told MSNBC while playing oracle to her imaginary goddess. These Democrats hear a “Mother Earth” false goddess but not the only true God of the universe.

From American Thinker: Unfortunately, we are living in a world where facts don’t matter much anymore. For instance, the wildfires that have swept across the western United States over the past few weeks are being almost universally blamed on climate change, even though the facts tell otherwise. The fires in California and Oregon are not due to climate change. They are due to arson and sheer stupidity on the part of many, including those who are responsible for the environmental stewardship that is supposed to prevent them in the first place.

According to the Cal Fire San Bernardino Unit, “the El Dorado Fire, burning near Oak Glen in San Bernardino County, was caused by a smoke generating pyrotechnic device, used during a gender reveal party.” Chalk this one up to stupidity, not climate change. Likewise, the Almeda Fire in Oregon, which has burned more than 600 homes, cannot be tied to climate change whatsoever because it was caused by arsonists. As Ashland Police Chief Tighe O’Meara said, “We have good reason to believe that there was a human element to it. We’re going to pursue it as a criminal investigation until we have reason to believe that it was otherwise.”

There are several more reports of arsonists instigating the blazes that are currently destroying hundreds of thousands of acres in the West. California has one of the poorest records of implementing commonsense environmental stewardship protocols, which no doubt has played a significant factor in the Golden State’s proclivity for wildfires over the past several years. According to California’s state oversight agency, “During its review, the Commission found that California’s forests suffer from neglect and mismanagement, resulting in overcrowding that leaves them susceptible to disease, insects and wildfire.” In other words, under decades of Democratic leadership, California has woefully underinvested in forest management efforts, which have left forests grossly overgrown and prone to wildfire.

LAST DAYS TRAITORS

Excerpt from Enemy in the Gates :: By Pete Garcia. I have spent numerous hours on the previous five articles (The Death of a Nation, Civil War and the Coming New World Order, American Pie, the Great Reset, and the Last Trump Rapture) explaining ad nauseam why the left is determined to create a singular new world order. Most of these people do not even understand why they are so determined to do this. The true enemy is not these people (as misguided as they are); the true enemy is Satan and those demonic forces seeking still to overthrow God’s authority. These leftists and globalists are being manipulated like human puppets on marionette strings, dancing to the tune of older, darker forces…

For those who do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the ONLY escape from this coming global testing is by placing your sincere faith and trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for your sins today. If you miss the Rapture of the Church (the sudden disappearance of millions of people), the world will enter into a time that will be worse than any other in human history. It will be hell on earth. The only escape is by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and becoming part of the bride of Christ today.

“…that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, ‘Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:9-13).

When They Shall Say ‘Peace and Safety’…

Read “The Deal of the Century” by Pete Garcia,” to be posted soon on raptureready.com. Pete discusses the Abraham Accord, etc., and speculates on how end-times Bible prophecy may play out, with the Antichrist rising to the top of the hierarchy (after the rapture), renegotiating the Abraham Accord with Israel (and the many) to be included in the new regional power structure.

[Note: These peace deals with many are not the ‘peace’ deal of Daniel 9:27, and President Trump does not fit the profile of the Antichrist); however, to quote Pastor Sean Gooding from his soon-to-be posted Rapture Ready article (Romans Lesson 35), “But make no mistake, these small victories, small doors opening are the key to the big one that is to come.” We needn’t delude ourselves about the motives of these Arab nations. They don’t want Israelis to have all the land covenanted to them by God, and they’re using Israel as a partner for protection against Iran’s aggressiveness in the region.]

The lines are being drawn, and nations who oppose this partnership will soon feel the need to attack Israel, as prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39. This spectacular event, it would seem, would occur after the rapture (during the “time of Jacob’s trouble” aka “Daniel’s 70th week”].

CONCLUSION

To those who will be left behind in the soon-coming rapture: “But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God” (Romans 2:5).

What we really NEED is Jesus!

“I Need Thee” as sung by Randy Owen and the Isaacs

I need thee, oh, I need thee

Every hour I need thee

Oh, bless me now, my Savior

I come to thee

I need thee every hour most precious Lord

No tender voice like thine can peace afford

I need thee, oh, I need thee

Every hour I need thee

Oh, bless me now, my Savior

I come to thee
