India attacks Pakistan with air strikes in ‘Operation Sindoor’: Nine ‘terrorist camps’ hit as Karachi threatens to retaliate – prompting fears of war between the two nuclear-armed states

India is calling it ‘Operation Sindoor’, and it began a short while ago with a series of intense airstrikes on regions held by Pakistan in Kashmir. Both India and Pakistan have a nuclear arsenal prompting fear in nearby nations. The main source of contention is Kashmir which is controlled by both India and Pakistan. India says they were just rooting out terrorist activity against Indians in the region of Kashmir they control, while Pakistan says they launched a “cowardly attack on civilians”. Neither is seems willing to deescalate as of this writing. That’s the memo.

“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.” Luke 21:9 (KJB)

Right now, there are enough simmering and smouldering regionalized tensions in the Middle East and Near East that a war seems not only possible but probable. Add Europe to the mix with Russia and Ukraine, and you have the WWIII we’ve been warning you about for some time. It’s coming, and that’s a fact. This is a breaking news story and we will update as new information becomes available.

India has attacked Pakistan as tensions soar between the two nuclear powers as WWIII fears abound

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: India fired missiles across the border into nine Pakistani ‘terror camps’ in PakistanI-controlled Kashmir, days after it blamed Islamabad for a deadly attack on the Indian side of the contested region.

‘A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed’, a statement from the Indian Armed forces said. No military facilities were targeted in the strikes, the statement added.

The strikes came amid soaring tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors over last month’s militant attack on tourists in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir. India has blamed Pakistan for backing the militant attack, which Islamabad has denied.  The missiles struck locations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and in the country’s eastern Punjab province early Wednesday, according to three Pakistani security officials.

One of them struck a mosque in the city of Bahawalpur in Punjab, where a child was killed, and a woman and man were injured, one official said. The officials said Pakistan had launched retaliatory strikes, without providing any details. The Pakistani army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Ahmad Sharif, told ARY News that the missiles were launched from within Indian territory and that no Indian aircraft had entered Pakistani airspace.

‘This was a cowardly attack targeting innocent civilians under the cover of darkness,’ Sharif told the broadcaster.

India’s Defense Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday: ‘Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistan military facilities have been targeted,’ the statement said, adding that ‘India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.’

‘We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable,’ the statement added.

The Indian army has also posted to X tonight writing that ‘Justice is Served’ and ‘Jai Hind!!’, which translates to ‘victory to India’. READ MORE

The Roman Catholic Church was formed in the belly of the ancient Roman Empire and has nothing in common with anything found in the New Testament

The Catholic Church is very busy right now electing a new pope, or as they like to call him, the Pontifex Maximus. Every day headlines bring news filled with buzzwords like pontiffs, priests, cardinals, electors and pope, words we associated with the Catholic Church. But surprise, surprise, those are not Catholic words and terms, they are the language of the ancient Roman Empire that began 6 decades before the birth of Jesus Christ. Did you know that one of the most famous Pontifex Maximuses was Julius Caesar?

“And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.” John 17:11 (KJB)

Nearly everything about the Catholic Church was first formed and birthed within the framework of the Roman Empire, yes, the very same Roman Empire that spent 300 years feeding Christians to the lions for sport. Rome was not a secular government, they were highly religious albeit of the pagan sort. Pontifex Maximus, or ‘High Priest’, was the highest priest in ancient Rome and the superior of the college of priests – pontiffs (Collegium Pontificum). According to ancient records, Rome owed the foundation of the college of pontiffs to the second king of Rome – Numa Pompilius. The priests in the college acted as advisers to the king (rex) on religious matters. The head of the office was the described pontifex maximus, who together with other priests sat on position for life. You can read more about that here.

NO, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH DID NOT GIVE US THE BIBLE, BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHY THAT’S TRUE, CLICK TO ORDER!!

You see, in the Roman Catholic Church, all the offices they have like priest, cardinal (deacon), pontiff and Pontifex Maximus all existed before one word of the New Testament was even written! None of it is from any of the gospels or any of the writings of the apostles, that would come later when the Roman Empire was in decline and the switch was made to preserve it by making it a church. At that point, Rome appropriated gospel passages to add as window dressing to give themselves the “keys to the kingdom”. Read more about that here.

“So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.” Revelation 2:15 (KJB)

Look in your Bible and try as you might, you will not find any scripture calling for the creation of a special and powerful clerical ruling class of priests who lord over the laity they have in subjection. Other things you will not find in the Bible include:

• Nuns
• The Eucharist
• Wine that becomes blood
• Confession to a priest
• Pray to Mary
• Pray to dead saints
• Saints as a special class created by a vote
• Relics
• Aids to worship
• The Mass
• The Confessional
• The Sacraments
• Stations of the Cross
• Purgatory

When I was a Roman Catholic for the first 30 years of my life, from time to time I would wonder why, if my church was the “one true church”, was it centered in Rome and not in Jerusalem like everything connected to the apostles was. That’s a good question you should ask. I wondered why almost nothing I was taught lined up with what the Bible taught, and why all the “bible classes” I was made to attend, CCD, only ever taught the “traditions of the early church fathers” and not Bible doctrine. The entire superstructure of the Roman Catholic Church existed with priests, pontiffs, worship services, confession and the Pontifex Maximus long before Jesus ever walked the earth. This is why it’s called the Roman Catholic Church because it’s not the Christian church.

“This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:” Acts 7:38 (KJB)

Any group of people who meet for any reason on a regular basis can accurately be called a ‘church’, or a ‘called out assembly’. This word did not originate with the New Testament and is not exclusive to it, either. The first reference to any ‘church’ is connected to Moses and the Jews wandering in the wilderness.

Your King James Bible has a lot to say about saints, that’s the term given to believers in any dispensation and in either Testament. Surprised? Read your Bible more and you won’t be.

Old Testament Saints:

“But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.” Psalm 16:3 (KJB)

Church Age Saints:

“To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Colossians 1:2 (KJB)

Tribulation Age Saints:

“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Revelation 13:7 (KJB)

The Bride of Christ Saints:

“And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Revelation 19:8 (KJB)

End of the Millennium Saints: 

“And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.” Revelation 20:9 (KJB)

The dramatic story of some of the most dangerous periods in Christian history, the persecution by the Roman Catholic Church.

In closing, let me say this. Open the secular history books and look around. Who was the number one killer of Christians in the first, second and third centuries? It was the Roman Empire. Who was the number one killer of Christians in the Dark Ages? It was the Roman Catholic Church. William Tyndale was executed for the crime of putting the Bible into English, an order given at the hand of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V of the Catholic Church in 1536. 1536?? What’s the Holy Roman Empire doing in 1536, I thought that ended in 476? No, the Roman Empire never ended, it never fell, it is alive with all its pagan pageantry in the Vatican where right now they are preparing to elect the next Pontifex Maximus. Julius Caesar would be so proud.

All eyes are on Vatican City Tuesday with just over a day to go until the start of the papal conclave of 133 cardinals meeting to elect the 267th pope.

Yesterday, we brought you the story of the man we say just might be the biblical man of sin, Emmanuel Macron, giving a speech at the Grand Lodge of Freemasonry in Paris where he urged freemasons to “fight the good fight” of secularism. Today we bring you news of 133 cardinals who are now ready to elect the next pope, the Roman successor to the original Pontifex Maximus, Julius Caesar. Of course, it has to have the number ’33’ front and center, Freemasons wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s the memo.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.” Revelation 13:11 (KJB)

If we are where I think we are on the end times timeline, we are going to need a pope that is highly energized and fully prepared to support the man of sin when he is revealed. There are a number of good candidates for that role, chiefly cardinals Pierbattista Pizzaballa and Robert Sarah, with our money being on the latter of the two. But the Lord knows, and either way, it’s going to be a wild ride. With so much focus on the Roman Catholic Church, you won’t find a better time than right now to reach out to your Roman Catholic friends with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Click the link below to order tracts and browse some really good books that will equip you to better understand the ROMAN Catholic Church.

World’s eyes turn to Vatican City as papal conclave to elect next pope set to begin

FROM ABC NEWS: It would be “unexpected” if the conclave goes past Friday, Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, archbishop of Algiers, told ABC News at the Vatican on Tuesday. “If on Friday night, the pope is not elected, it will be that something unexpected has happened,” Vesco said. The 12th and last general congregation was held on Tuesday.

A total of 170 cardinals from around the world have already arrived in Vatican City following the death of Pope Francis, with many of them listening to approximately 20 interventions, or speeches, focusing on themes of major pastoral and ecclesial relevance as well as some time devoted to the question of ethnicism within the church and in society on Monday evening. Migration was also discussed, recognizing migrants as a gift for the Church, but also highlighting the urgency of accompanying them and supporting their faith in contexts of mobility and change.

Watch Pope Pius XII being carried in like a Roman god, claiming dominion over Europe after WWII. The Roman Catholic Church always plays both sides of the street, giving their allegiance to whoever looks like they will be the winner. This is idolatry at its finest. pic.twitter.com/6WNlbetHQH

The ongoing wars around the world were referred on several occasions during Monday evening’s general congregation, with tones often marked by direct testimonies from cardinals who come from the regions affected by conflicts. The discussion subsequently returned to the subject of the path of the Synod on synodality, seen as a concrete expression of an ecclesiology of communion, in which everyone is called to participate, listen and discern together.

Meanwhile, the cardinals also reaffirmed their commitment and responsibility to support the new Pope, called to be a true pastor, a guide who knows how to go beyond the confines of the Catholic Church alone, promoting dialogue and building relationships with other religious and cultural worlds.

In total, 133 cardinals will be voting during this conclave, the most electors ever, with 108 of them being appointed by Pope Francis. Ten are from the United States. READ MORE

Papal Conclave to elect new pope shrouded in secrecy

The College of Cardinals is meeting to select the new pope. The event is called the “conclave,” or in latin, con clave, which translates to “with key.” The process to decide who will hold that key to the church is locked behind closed doors, veiled in secrecy.
