Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas Sunday morning, his daughter Gianna Maria died with him

In the basketball world, Kobe Bryant was a a big a star as there is, and he had all the wealth, power and accolades that go along with living that type of rarified superstar life. But today he gave up all that and stepped out into eternity through a helicopter crash in Calabasas early this morning. It happened just that fast for Kobe, and it will happen just that fast for me and you as well. Today, if someone were to ask you –  “would you go to Heaven or Hell if you died tonight?” – what answer would you give? Think hard, your eternity depends on getting it right.

“And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?” Luke 12:16-20 (KJB)

I do not know if Kobe Bryant was saved or lost, a Google search tells me from multiple sources that “Kobe Bryant was born and raised a Catholic, married a Catholic woman and raised his own children as Catholics.” I hope that Kobe had more than his “catholic faith” when he perished this morning in that tragic helicopter crash, I hope he had full assurance of salvation that comes only from a personal, saving relationship with Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church cannot give you that, and in fact, a personal relationship with Jesus is something that Pope Francis preaches against. No sir, you won’t get any help regarding your soul from the Catholic Church.

What about you? You, too, will die one day, and in fact it could be today. Are you ready to step out into eternity? Click here to settle that question right now before it’s everlasting too late for you to do so. And watch the video at the bottom of the article, it just might save your eternal soul.

Kobe Bryant Dies In Helicopter Crash

FROM TMZ: Kobe Bryant was traveling with at least 3 other people in his private helicopter when it went down. A fire broke out. Emergency personnel responded, but nobody on board survived. 5 people are confirmed dead. We’re told Vanessa Bryant was not among those on board. Kobe’s daughter Gianna Maria Onore — aka GiGi — was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash … She was 13. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Kobe has famously used a helicopter to travel for years — dating back to when he played for the Lakers. He was known for commuting from Newport Beach, CA to the STAPLES Center in DTLA in his Sikorsky S-76 chopper.

Kobe Bryant is survived by his wife Vanessa, and their three daughters — Natalia and Bianca and their newborn Capri.

Kobe has recently been spotted out at NBA games with his daughter Gianna — a rising star basketball player herself. Their youngest daughter, Capri, was just born in June 2019. Kobe Bryant is widely considered one of the greatest NBA players of all time — making 18 All-Star teams during his 20 year career with the Lakers. He was a first-round pick in the 1996 draft, winning 5 NBA championships, 2 NBA Finals MVPs and he was the league MVP in ’08.

More feared dead in helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant

Nine people are believed to have died in the California helicopter crash that killed basketball icon Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, authorities revealed Sunday, updating an initial death toll of five. “We have a manifest that indicates that there was nine people on board the aircraft. The pilot plus eight individuals,” said Alex Villanueva, the sheriff of Los Angeles County, in an afternoon press briefing.

Kobe Bryant Killed In Helicopter Crash

Kobe Bryant, a five-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers who is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all-time, died in a helicopter crash in Los Angeles on Sunday, the City of Calabasas said. He was 41. His daughter Gianna Maria died also. 

The Lakers famously retired both of Kobe’s jerseys, number 8 and 24 … the only player in team history to receive that honor. Kobe’s accomplishments stand far outside of the basketball world. He won an Oscar for his short film, “Dear Basketball,” in 2018. READ MORE

Emmanuel Macron is charging full-speed ahead in his quest to create a Palestinian state and now has enlisted Mohammed bin Salman to lend a hand at the United Nations

Ever watch the movie ‘Terminator’ and see how no matter the opposition leveled against him, that robot just kept coming forward like the unstoppable force that he was created to be? In much the same way, French president Emmanuel Macron just keeps coming forward toward his goal of the creation of a Palestinian state. And guess what? He’s going to get it, and Mohammed bin Salman is going to help him do it. That’s the memo.

“Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestinaart dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.” Isaiah 14:31 (KJB)

Not only that, he has a new sidekick along for the ride to assist him in creating a Palestinian state, our old friend Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Christian, you live in a Now The End Begins world, and prophecy is coming true before your very eyes. Is Emmanuel Macron the biblical man of sin? That’s the question we will attempt to answer, along with end times updates from around the world, on this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast.

Emmanuel Macron Says That France Will Recognize A Palestinian State To Exist In June In Joint Partnership With Mohammed Bin Salman Of Saudi Arabia

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

France is making plans to recognize a Palestinian state and could do so as early as June, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with a French broadcaster on Wednesday.

Emmanuel Macron has been quiet lately, allowing President Trump to garner all the headlines, but he certainly has not been idle. Yesterday, Macron announced  that, in partnership with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, France plans to recognize a state of Palestine to exist at an upcoming Two State Solution Summit in June to be held in Saudi Arabia. Emmanuel Macron and Mohammed bin Salman are the perfect end times Antichrist dream team. That’s the memo.

“And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5 (KJB)

Do you know the first that in the Bible that God called holy? It was a piece of dirt that Moses was standing on, God called it holy ground. Do you know what the land of Israel is? It’s God holy land. Do you know what Jerusalem is? It’s God’s holy city. This is exactly why it is the most fought-over parcel of real estate in human history, Satan wants it and God is going to let him have it for exactly 7 years. Do you know who will be the poster boy for that land grab, the human face so to speak? Emmanuel Macron, as we have always told you. Having Mohammed bin Salman along for the ride is the cherry on top of the sundae. Keep in mind that this Palestinian Two State Solution Conference takes place in June where it will still be springtime. TO THE FLIGHT!!!

France could recognize a Palestinian state in June, says Macron

FROM POLITICO EU: Macron said he hoped that by recognizing Palestinian statehood at a conference in June that France is co-hosting with Saudi Arabia pushing for a two-state solution, attendees who do not formally recognize Israel would in turn do so.

“We must move toward recognition, and we will do so in the coming months,” said the French president. “I’m not doing it for unity, or to please this or that person. I’m doing it because at some point it will be fair,” he said.

Macron’s comments come after Israel resumed its bombardment of the Gaza Strip last month when a two-month-long truce came to an end and ceasefire talks broke down between Israel and the militant group Hamas. Israel has since halted the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave.

Israel’s war in Gaza was triggered by Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, assault against southern Israel during which 1,200 people were killed and 250 were taken hostage. The Hamas-run Gazan Health Ministry says more than 50,000 people in Gaza have died in the ensuing conflict. That figure includes both civilian and combatant fatalities. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict resonates deeply in France, which is home to Europe’s largest Jewish and Muslim communities. Israel is also home to a large French-speaking community that has kept strong ties to France.

France has always been in favor of a two-state solution but has resisted calls to recognize a Palestinian state, often arguing that Paris would only do so if it served the peace process.

Macron’s comments came at the end of a three-day trip to Egypt, during which he visited a hospital treating Palestinians in the city of El Arish, near the border with Gaza.

“I want to believe in peace; today the conflict has intensified and it’s terrible … Since March 2, there’s nothing going in [to the Gaza Strip] — no water, no food, no medication, and none of the injured are coming out,” Macron said.

Macron’s decision is likely to antagonize Israel and draw a backlash from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who says that recognizing Palestinian statehood now is effectively rewarding terrorism.

“A ‘unilateral recognition’ of a fictional Palestinian state, by any country, in the reality that we all know, will be a prize for terror and a boost for Hamas. These kind of actions will not bring peace, security and stability in our region closer — but the opposite: they only push them further away,” Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on X. The French Jewish umbrella group Crif on Thursday slammed Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state, calling it “an unacceptable political victory” for Hamas while dozens of Israeli hostages are still being held in Gaza.

Emmanuel Macron of France is planning to recognise a Palestinian state within months and could make the move at a UN conference in New York in June on settling the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday. He will be joined by Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.
