The Birth Pains of Messiah are reaching a new level of intensity.

The early phase of labor can last up to 48 hours, while the active phase can be up to eight hours.

We appear to have entered into the active phase of End Time labor pains!

Every day we catalogue increasing signs of Jesus’s return as conditions resemble, as He predicted, the days of Noah when violence filled the earth and the days of Lot when Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed.

The murderous antisemitism that has resurged since the October 7 pogrom points to Zechariah 14: 2, a verse in which God says in the Last Days, “I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it. . . .”

The Hezbollah murders of youth in the northern Israeli town of Migdal Shams is surely a sign of the times, yet as Brooke Goldstein noted, nobody is marching to protest their massacre:

Yesterday a rocket slammed into a soccer pitch where dozens of children and teens were playing in the Druze town of Majdal Shams. Its location is about 12 kilometers (7 miles) south of Lebanon next to the Syrian border. Twelve youth were killed and 20 others wounded, according to the Israeli military. I was saddened when I heard this news from a place of blessed memories.

Years ago my team and I held an outreach in the town square of Migdal Shams, and we were entertained in the home of the Druse with a lavish meal. Along with all the other food, each team member was given a fascinating flattened bread the size of a tablecloth that folded multiple times over.

The receptivity to the Gospel of the people in Migdal Shams gave me much warmth in my heart for them, and I mourn the loss of their youth.

Time was, the Olympics were only about sports.

Now nothing is sacred, no event seems to be untouched by madness and wokeness, as evidenced by the insanity in the Olympics opening ceremony. Especially ominous was the depiction of a rider on a pale horse, like right out of Revelation 6: 8,

“I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.”

I was blessed by the below post at X, and I thank Dr. Eli David for asking the question of how Christians feel about this blasphemy:

Muslims also condemned the mockery as “reckless.”

Telecommunications company C Spire has removed all advertising from the Olympics after they mocked Christianity in their opening ceremony. C Spire is the sixth-largest wireless provider in the United States.

Today the organizers of the Paris Olympics apologized to Christian and Catholic groups for the parody of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.”

The Olympics segment on July 26 parodied the biblical scene of Jesus and the apostles sharing the last seder meal before his crucifixion as drag queens, a transgender individual, and a nude singer in celebration of “tolerance.” The segment won the gold medal for offensive outrage, according to Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.

Now the ceremony’s artistic director, Thomas Jolly, has attempted to distance his scene from any “Last Supper” parallels, saying during a news conference that the show was intended to celebrate “diversity” and “to include everyone.”

People like Jolly haven’t understood that Jesus dined with sinners —not to endorse their sins but to lead them to repentance.

A spokesperson for the Paris Olympics said, “If people have taken any offense, we are really sorry.”

The apology was made after thousands of people on social media said they would boycott the Olympic Games, with many using a #boycottolympics2024 hashtag to express their displeasure for the disrespect and careless behavior to families with children and people that don’t believe in their agenda.

How could they think that there would be no offense?

But it is because of spiritual blindness.

The Word of God says in 2 Corinthians 4: 4, “the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

How wonderful that French Christians rallied in support of truth. However, please realize that after the Rapture when the restrainer of believers is removed, there will be no such rallies and therefore evil will quickly escalate.
