June: The Holy Month of Pride

In late May, I started seeing news articles that declared June LGBTQ Pride Month. I thought this was a new thing, but it has actually been building up for a couple of decades. US President Bill Clinton was the person who got the ball rolling. In June 1999, he declared the anniversary of the Stonewall riots every June in America as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. In 2009, President Barack Obama declared June LGBT Pride Month. On 1 June 2021, President Joe Biden issued an official presidential proclamation recognizing June as Pride Month.

Since about 80% of the population has no interest in these alternative sexual lifestyles, you might like to know who is financially backing this campaign. Three key main drivers are the largest investment firms of Black Rock, Vanguard, and State Street. These companies control $20 trillion in assets. When Joe Biden was VP, he secretly met with them, saying they have greater power than the Democratic party to advance Left-wing social agendas.

Since they sit on many boards, through their ownership of millions of company shares, they can force firms to adopt sexual diversity platforms. It doesn’t matter that sales were down that quarter. Activists want to know why the company doesn’t have any black lesbians in management.

If Freddie Mercury, Rock Hudson, and Liberace were still alive, they would likely be upset that the people managing their savings were fixated on sexual matters. A homosexual 20 years ago would think the only agenda with their investments should be focused on making them grow in value. It is actually illegal for CEOs to conduct transactions that will harm the value of a company. Their duty is to increase shareholder net worth, and they can be sued for failing in their duties.

The job of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen should be to look after the nation’s economy. While major banks are failing and the danger of a national debt defect loomed closer, Yellen found time to host several LGBTQ events.

While federal agencies have been tripping over themselves to pledge allegiance to queer activism, they couldn’t be bothered to recognize the fallen troops who make our freedom possible. Despite a government-wide tweet-fest over Pride Month, most of them ignore Memorial Day altogether.

Not to be outdone, education officials decided to change their government seal to the “progress, pride” flag, paying special homage to transgenderism—while the Marines, Air Force, and Space Force hyped everything from rainbow bullets to astronauts “queering” the moon.

The Biden administration is operating under a demonic delusion that it is working to make the government more reflect the American people. At this stage, the left can only work to make the US look more like Sodom and Gomorrah.

They want to achieve diversity by hiring people who represent the rainbow flag. If they give a job to a transexual, they should then employ 100 straight guys. We could have 30% of an agency identify as queer, and it still wouldn’t be enough.

Elon Musk is a rare island of sanity on most issues. He celebrated the first day of pride month by promising to lobby against child genital mutilation. “This is a major problem. I will be actively lobbying to criminalize making severe, irreversible changes to children below the age of consent. Shame on those who advocate this! It is utterly contemptible,” he said.

I have no personal issues with gay people. If they think God endorses their lifestyle, that’s between them and their creator. The problem comes when they demand that everyone endorse their sexual practices. Colorado baker Jack Phillips has lost two major cases because he refuses to bake a cake with a homosexual theme.

No one should be forced to create something that violates their fundamental beliefs. It would be crazy to think that a Nazi could go into a Jewish bakery and demand that they make him a cake that looks like the crematoria at Auschwitz. Christians can be compelled to violate God’s law because the promotion of evil is one of Satan’s highest priorities.

It just shows how far America has fallen when we have a whole month dedicated to celebrating sexual immorality. Soon every day will be Pride Day. The Bible warns that when a society is at a certain stage of perversion, he will lift his hand of protection, and it will die of self-destruction.

“Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error” (Romans 1:24-27 NIV).

The Last Minute

My friend J. D. Farag presented an intriguing message in the video he titled “The Last Hour.” He listed the reasons he believes this generation has entered the final hour before God begins to judge, as foretold about the Tribulation (Daniel’s seventieth week).

He gave the following reasons:

1. Advanced technology
2. Man’s survivability
3. Deception spiritually

Regarding technology, he indicated that Daniel 12:4 is in view. Knowledge is increasing exponentially; in fact, it has advanced to the point that it likely can advance no farther without surpassing what he believes God’s prophetic Word has given—that is, will allow—mankind to endure during the last seven years before Christ’s Second Advent. 

Take AI (artificial intelligence), for example. Even those responsible for producing it are expressing fear that it is becoming increasingly dangerous. Humankind, they fear, is about to lose control over our own existence and destiny.

Additionally, the 9/11 attacks and aftermath have ratcheted up the movement into humanity’s enslavement through technological developments created under the Patriot Act and other surveillance and control methodologies. Add to these developments the vaccine mandates spinning from the supposed COVID-19 pandemic, and the observer of Bible prophecy from the pre-Trib, premillennial view can’t do anything but believe this is the final hour of the dispensation of grace.

With respect to Farag’s second indicator of this being the final hour—man’s survivability—Satan’s obvious hatred of God’s creation is front and center. The Luciferian plan is to, as said about that roaring lion he’s likened to, enslave, then destroy as much of humanity as possible. Farag believes the vaccine and its deleterious effects on the health of mankind are included in the devilish blueprint. Also, things going on in working toward poisoning the air and water of the planet, he believes, are being employed by Satan’s henchmen forces.

I, too, believe the pandemic was introduced by otherdimensional forces to hasten the Antichrist’s regime development. The Great Reset is a big part of this blueprint, in my view.

1. D.’s third indicator of this being the last hour of the Church Age is the spiritual deception that has overwhelmed us in recent days. He says 2 Thessalonians 2:9–12 is at play in these closing days of the age. He says we are in a generation that delights in wickedness. Delusion and deception have been supernaturally imposed in the sense Jesus foretold while answering the disciples’ questions during the Olivet Discourse. Deception and deceivers, the Lord foretold, are the first sign of the last of the last days.

Farag said the Antichrist spirit prevalent in the world, and even to an extent in the Church, shows dramatically that the Antichrist is alive today and already behind the scenes. He believes this could be the main determining factor in this being the last hour.

I agree with my good friend’s assessment, with the possible exception of this present time being the “last hour.” I’m convinced this is rather the “last minute” of this age when the Rapture will indeed bring a Reset to planet Earth.

And I view the things he mentions, while accurate and even insightful, a bit different from my own view of the most important signal that we’re in the final minute, even perhaps in the final seconds, of this age.

This is based, as I’ve have pointed to for weeks, on the most profound prophecy given by the Lord Jesus.

Society and culture, particularly in this nation, reflect in mirror-like clarity the days of Lot in Sodom. I believe His Word on how things will be cannot be topped. He has the final word for the final minutes of this age.

I listen to the radio show host Chris Plante some mornings and he sometimes says that everyone is asking: “What is happening, and why is it happening so fast?” By that he means the insane coarsening of the culture that’s happening at a frantic pace. No one seems to understand any of it.

Jesus, of course, understood. All we have to do is consider His most profound prophecy to understand what is happening and why it is happening so fast.

We are in the time—the final minute or even seconds—of the period just before the Rapture of the Church when Jesus intervenes into the wickedness of humankind. We are in the time like it was in Sodom and Gomorrah.

This is discernable by those who understand, from Christ’s Words, what is happening in the area of homosexuality and all sorts of such aberrant activity going on all around us. Particularly, the Satanic assault on the youngest of children and even babies in the womb reveals the concentration of destructive hatred for humanity the minions of Ephesians 6:12 harbor and are working feverishly to carry out.

I thought to insert a news excerpt here in this commentary about all the LGBTQ+ craziness being perpetrated, or the transgender madness going on. But it isn’t necessary. You and I are confronted with it every moment of our day in these times. The stories of the insane assaults on our society and culture are with us constantly.

We are in the midst of Gay Pride Month. Need more be said? Thereby we know Jesus must be about to hear the Father say: “ENOUGH! Go get my children.”

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. (Luke 17:28–30)

“Clear the Way for Jesus”

About four years ago, I watched an interview that transformed my view of the Muslim problem in Europe. Since Muslims have about 8 children per family, it can be assumed that in a couple of decades, they will take full control of Europe.

In the nation of Sweden, the takeover is happening now. Even though they are only 25% of the population, their aggressive nature is dominating the country. A British film crew was trying to cover the Muslim problem, and they were immediately attacked by Islamic savages. There are zones in Sweden that are so tightly collected by Muslims, they might as well be a separate nation.

About 30 years ago, I visited Great Britain as part of my time in the Air Force. I was stunned by the contrast between the youth and the older people of that nation. Generally, people in their 50s had traditional British values, and people in their 20s had a common sour look on life.

I wondered what England would be like a few decades down the road. I recently saw a video of a man who was the manifestation of Britain’s degeneration. He is a TikTok blogger that goes by the name Mizzy.

His real name is Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, and he made social media posts that show him entering people’s homes, stealing their pets, going into a library and ripping up books, and riding on top of a bus.

The most disgusting thing about this man is his supreme arrogance. Because he is black, he thinks he has a free pass to be an absolute jerk.

He was on a news program with Piers Morgan and made this remark: “Are you trying to get onto me because I’m Black?”

Piers responded: “Why would I care what color your skin is? I just think you’re an idiot for what you are doing and for playing the race card when nobody has mentioned your skin color.

I don’t care about your skin color; I care about the fact you have been terrorizing all these people for a sustained period of time.”

Mizzy has been terrorizing people for over a year and has only been arrested once. He walked into a home and recorded a woman with her children. If he had entered my house, he would leave in a body bag.

Morgan said to Mizzy: “You’re an idiot and a moron” Since this guy’s goal in life is to draw attention to himself, I think Morgan is the idiot and the moron by having him on his show. I don’t favor people being banned from social media, but in this case, I think it would be a good idea.

One day I was in London, and I ran across a homeless man who had his hand out. He said to me, “Clear the way for Jesus?” I knew of this Jesus person, but I didn’t understand the clear-the-way part. I replied by saying, “What?” He then spoke frankly with me by saying, “I’m an alcoholic?”

I did several internet searches of this phrase, and I could not find anything on it. I assume it’s a reference to John the Baptist’s quote, “Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight” (Matthew 3:3, ESV).

There was certainly no logic to me giving money to a drunk so he could sustain his addiction. The phrase has lasted with me all these years. By operating Rapture Ready, I see myself as clearing the way for Jesus.

We prophecy people think that the advancement of the gospel message is the key to when Jesus will come to the church. It is also true that people like Mizzy are helping to advance the timing of the rapture. Our Lord told us that as we get closer to the tribulation hour, the world will become more wicked. We simply need to watch events like the birth pangs of childbirth.

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14).

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors 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 various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows [birth pangs]” (Mt. 24:4–8).

Pondering Pride Month

Our Sodom-like society continues to rage toward the Judgment-producing moment in which Jesus said He will be “revealed” (Luke 17: 28). There will be at that future time, the Lord foretold, things going on which will look exactly like things that were happening as the vexed Lot observed his surroundings in the doomed city of Sodom.

We won’t look again in-depth at all the other prophetic signs Jesus and the prophets foretold. Suffice it to say, as we always do, that all signs given in God’s prophetic Word are in a state of convergence. All are coming at this generation with increased frequency and intensity.

In consideration of the one signal Jesus gave, likening His future moment of Intervention into the perverted affairs of mankind to the time when Lot and his family were removed to Zoar, the similarity is, of course, striking.

I’m not certain that the people of Sodom had reached the point of parading in the streets in celebration of the homosexual lifestyle. I’m not sure they had a perennial LGBTQ-plus Pride Month. But if I were a gambling man, I would be placing my bet that these things were taking place not occasionally but in never-ending fashion. I have no doubt that it was gay pride on steroids, as is said.

I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that we, as a society and culture, have been moving ever more swiftly into Sodom and Gomorrah-like configuration. Thus, despite the fact that we are told the percentage of those among our population who are part of the LGBTQ-plus lifestyle is almost infinitesimal.

Some will say that it is the wickedness of the godless, mainstream media that makes the perversion seem ubiquitous and even dominant – that it is the heads of the corporate world hungry for profits who are embracing those of the small percentage among us. It is these who employ debauched merchandising strategies, thereby pouring massive advertising dollars into media in order to lure LGBTQ-plus shoppers that make the perversion appear more rampant than it actually is.

No matter what the strategy they claim or the proposition they put forth that they are simply just going about business as usual, and considering it all merely marketing, the Luke 17:28-30 prophecy seems to be taking shape before our sorely vexed eyes and ears. These days are a match, it seems to me, for the days of Lot which Jesus forewarned those 2 millennia ago while speaking to the disciples atop the Mount of Olives.

The Lord, in fact, likened those former times in Sodom to business being conducted as usual. But we know from history that the fate which followed that business as usual was complete annihilation of the twin cities. Jesus said the same fate awaits the people of that future time when the business as usual reaches the point that God’s Cup of Wrath is full to the brim.

The first thing on God’s list of the things He hates is seen in the following scripture we’ve looked at before.

“These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him.

• A proud look,
• A lying tongue,
• Hands that shed innocent blood,
• An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
• Feet that be swift in running to mischief,
• A false witness that speaketh lies,
• And he that soweth discord among brethren” (Proverbs 6:16-19).

A proud look heads the list of things God hates. So it is altogether appropriate to look at this thing they have forced us to endure called Pride Month. Even if they take the first word from the title as they are using it –the word Gay— the modern-day champions of Sodom and Gomorrah-like lifestyle is the heart of the designation.

But it isn’t just the matter of pride that is wrapped up in the present Sodom-Gomorrah activity.

The second thing on God’s list: a lying tongue speaks satanic words against the God of Heaven, accusing Christians and those who oppose the corruption of culture as being phobic and evil.

Other evil that God says He hates fester within the black heart of the Sodom-like comportment.

Hands that shed innocent blood are an almost inseparable wickedness of the radical mindset harbored within the militant homosexual movement, i.e., abortion – the shedding of the blood of the most helpless among us – is championed by the LGBTQ-plus community, almost without exception.

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations is a matter that is in our faces in increasingly despicable and demonstrable ways.

Transvestites are allowed to interact with the very youngest of children in a most sexually aggressive manner. Children in grade school are encouraged to learn the most salacious perversions imaginable by schools and teachers, many who are themselves deeply active as part of the LGBTQ-plus movement. Parents who object have been considered the criminals and have been persecuted/prosecuted by courts steeped in support of a Sodom-like lifestyle.

Governments and even some physicians now, as part of the gay pride industry, alter the bodies and minds of those below legal age, hiding such activity in many cases from the parents of the kids.

Despite growing opposition to the assault being perpetrated by those who champion June as Pride Month, such as the refusal by much of the buying public to purchase goods from Woke franchises such as Target, Kohls and others, the franchise giants aren’t giving in to any great extent.

They are putting on display at point of purchase for even the youngest of children –including infants– their apparel that is of a transsexual nature. The garments are especially designed by those pushing the LGBTQ-plus agenda at every level of society and culture.

The pride that brought complete destruction to Sodom and Gomorrah is on full display for all to witness this month of June.

The most important eyes that are watching this display of Gay Pride are, of course, the Eyes of the God Who completely erased that long-ago homosexual pride from the plains near the Dead Sea.

Jesus foretold that just such a future people will suffer the same Judgment from Heaven. When believers are Called by Christ into His Presence, that type of destruction will begin falling.

It is not our place to hate those who practice, condone, or champion Sodom and Gomorrah-type activity. We, as believers, must, in Christian Love, pray that God’s Truth will Light their sin-darkened imaginations – that they will themselves Believe and be Saved from the Eternal punishment that all unbelievers face.

Here yet again is how to come out of sin and into Christ’s Presence either at death or upon the Rapture.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
