Month: July 2020

We live in the End Times, and we’re now experiencing the most widespread persecution of Christians since saints were fed to the lions in the colosseum. This attack on faith has many faces. Some are overt, such as communism in North Korea and Islamic State in the Middle East. What’s less obvious, and more concerning, is the subtle assault on faith in western nations.

Recently, a church in America had a statue of Jesus decapitated. A well-known protest leader has called for all images of Jesus to be torn down. In Florida, a man plowed his car into a Catholic Church during Mass preparation. He poured gasoline in the foyer and set the building on fire. In California, a statewide order has forbidden any churches to be open, blaming COVID-19 for the decision. Public prayer in the house of God has been outlawed. Of course, for the public good. See the pattern?

And now this. A prominent physician in Australia, Dr. Kristin Small, has made news by calling for renaming body parts and diseases. The female physician calls her mission an effort to “decolonize” the language of medicine by getting rid of 700 medical terms, most named after male doctors. And guess which body part draws the most ire? The Adam’s apple. Because – and you can’t make this up – it was named after the biblical Adam. To be accurate, we don’t know that the fruit which Adam and Eve ate was an apple. That is myth. But it was an act of disobedience, sin against the Lord’s commands.

This creeping exclusion of Christianity from any place in modern life is designed to marginalize all Christian influences. Expelling God from every aspect of life, leaves room for demons to fill that void. Getting rid of Adam’s apple by calling it misogynistic is one more way of eradicating any reminder of humanity’s connection to a creator God. Demons want a world in which the only god will be the Antichrist, and we’re moving quickly in that direction.

George Washington. Thomas Jefferson. Theodore Roosevelt. Abraham Lincoln. Those are the great Americans whose likenesses are carved in granite on Mount Rushmore, in South Dakota. This symbol of freedom, democracy, and the American dream draws more than three million visitors a year. Now, this colossal sculpture is in danger of being blown up. Because two of these presidents were slave holders, some activists want it dynamited to smithereens. The most prominent backer of this scheme is none other than Kimberly Ford, the great-granddaughter of Gutzon Borglum, who carved Mt. Rushmore.

Why? She argues that the monument violates “sacred Native American Land.” And, according to Ford, the faces look out upon the location where Native Americans believe that Mother Earth is believed to breathe. She condemns her great-grandfather for carving a monument that is “symbolic of white, male leaders who have utterly, aggressively failed enormous swans of people who lived on this continent before them.”

I don’t know whether to laugh or feel disgust at this politically correct, “woke” agenda. New Age and occult believes obviously motivate her conclusions. Her idea of sacralizing “Mother Earth” is witchcraft. This thinking is part of the New Age Gaia (Earth worship) movement which believes that the Earth is a living goddess. In Romans 1:25, the Apostle Paul speaks of those who “exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator.”    

Mt. Rushmore is a national treasure remembering men who sacrificed much for our freedoms. Its rejection is based on idolatrous ideas rooted in paganism. Ford’s plea that land is sacred is pantheism, the belief that God and the universe are one and that deity dwells in all living things, even the inanimate. My advice to Ford is, “Go hug a tree, but don’t mess with the rights of patriotic Americans who revere real heroes, even flawed ones.” Mother Earth, the goddess of dirt under our feet, is a demonic concept of witchcraft, not a reason to blow up Mt. Rushmore.

COVID-19 has brought us a lot of things: mandatory face masks, stay-in-place sheltering, closed churches, and record unemployment; and now, with coronavirus as a justification, legal domestic partnerships with sexual couplings of three or more. A week ago, the city of Somerville, Massachusetts, became the first city in America to legalize polyamorous relationships. Polyamory is engaging simultaneously in multiple forms of sexual relationships of any gender with mutual consent of all involved. (In contrast, polygamy is almost always exclusively heterosexual.) The logic of the city council was that polyamorous individuals should have the right to visit non-marital sexual partners who might be sick with coronavirus in the hospital.

And what’s next? If polyamory, why not polygamy and incest? In fact, the mostly Mormon state of Utah just recently lowered the punishment for polygamy from the status of a felony punishable by a prison term to an infraction the equivalent of a traffic ticket. The Mormon church made so-called “plural marriages” part of church doctrine in 1852. In 1890 the practice was officially abandoned as a requirement for attaining statehood. Today, the LDS has come full circle.

For millennia, marriage has been viewed as the spiritual and civil bonding of a man and woman. On June 26, 2015, with the encouragement of President Barak Obama, the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision legalized gay marriage. On June 15, 2020, this same court in a 6-3 decision expanded rights to those of self-identified genders, a decision sure to upend locker rooms, bathrooms, and the use of pronouns. Is polyamory next? By the logic of the Supreme court, why should any sexual coupling for any reason fail to have full legal status? Are gay rights activists willing to oppose incest and polyamory? Where on this slippery slope should any anchor be placed?

All the issues related to these matters are too complicated to dissect in a short blog, but I must point out that polygamy is a form of incest. The women in such arrangements are known as “sister-wives.” In many cases involving fundamentalist Mormon groups, polygamous brides are well below the legal age of consent. Combining them into one sisterhood is a form of incest. Polyamory is also a variant of incest, especially if legally sanctioned. As an exorcist, I can tell you from experience that incest demons are some of the nastiest, most powerful evil spirits in the kingdom of darkness. If the legalization of threesomes, foursomes, and who knows how many more “somes” are recognized legally, that will be a fatal spiritual blow to America. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:37 that the End Times would be like the days of Noah. We have arrived at that point, and the city council of Somerville, Massachusetts is the canary in the moral coal mine of the apocalypse.
