A convicted child rapist is reportedly to be released from prison in Iowa because he is no longer deemed a threat since he began transgender hormone treatments.
This is where the LGBTQ+P for Pedophile Movement is taking our nation, right down the toilet, and if Christians don’t stand up now and reject what’s happening it will be too late to change it. You cannot change your gender, that’s a lie. 72 genders? That’s a lie as well. Men cannot become women any more than a puppy can become a rattlesnake. The entire LGBTQ+ agenda is built on lies, and these lies will are ripping apart the very fabric of our society.
“Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” Luke 17:1,2 (KJB)
Again we will warn you that the current push to make pedophiles a protected class based on sexual orientation, if not stopped, will be successful. And once that happens, America will be finished. Stone, cold dead. No society can survive where open homosexuality, transgenderism and pedophilia are present, no society ever has in all of human history. When these things rise to the forefront, that nation collapses. America will not be the exception to that rule.
FROM BREITBART NEWS: The Storm Lake Times reported in November that Joseph Matthew Smith, 23, a former Midwest Christian Services (MCS) student, convicted of as many as 15 sex crimes against victims whose ages ranged from 1 to 13 years, was sentenced to prison in December 2015.
On January 16, the Times reported a spokesman from the Iowa attorney general’s office said they are “no longer seeking” Smith’s commitment because “an offender’s hormone levels are an important part of substantiating an offender’s likelihood of recidivism.”
“We don’t believe we have evidence sufficient to prove Josie Smith has a significant chance of reoffending,” spokesman Lynn Hicks said.
According to the report:
Smith has received treatment for gender reassignment over the past two years at Newton Correctional Facility. She first expressed a desire to “get started on transgender classification” in October 2017 and started using female pronouns.
Smith has expressed a preference to identify as Josie, according to court documents.
…
An Iowa Department of Corrections spokesman said Smith was transferred on Saturday to the Sioux City Residential Treatment Facility for transitional release. He did not say when Smith will be released.
Hicks minimized any concerns the public might have regarding Smith’s release.
“Josie Smith will be subject to strict sex-offender reporting required of those who commit the crimes she did,” Hicks said. “She’ll be subject to supervision for the rest of her life.”
The Times said a preliminary report by Dr. Jeffrey Davis, who is described as a state “expert,” states, “The likelihood of re-offending within five years of release exceeded 20% because victims were of both genders, and because Smith was under age 25 and never had a long-term relationship.”
“Mr. Smith has not had an intimate relationship,” the report is said to assert. “His sexual encounters appear to have primarily involved molestation, including his own molestation by multiple perpetrators, or his victimization of others.”
Smith, who spent his childhood in Louisiana, was reportedly molested repeatedly since age seven.
According to the Times, the report recommended that Smith be sent to the Cherokee Civil Commitment Unit for Sex Offenders (CCUSO) for an unspecified period of time. The news story noted, however, the recommendation “was premised upon Smith having the sex drive of a man.”
Dr. Tracy Thomas, a forensic psychologist who once served as clinical director of CCUSO, said that, according to Iowa statute, civil commitment requires the state to “essentially prove an offender has a chance offending greater than 51% for the rest of his life.”
“That becomes harder to prove when an offender significantly lowers his testosterone levels, which has a significantly higher impact on sex drive than estrogen,” the Times wrote. Thomas said there are no women sex offenders at CCUSO.
“From an evaluator’s standpoint, our recommendation is based on whether someone is more than likely to re-offend,” Thomas said. “Between 5 percent and 15 percent of sex offenders re-offend, so it takes an extraordinarily high burden to prove someone has a 51 percent chance.”
Many public commentators expressed shock at the report of the decision to release Smith, including transgender Blaire White, who said in a video message, “This is a disgusting and dangerous precedent”:

NEW VIDEO:
A convicted baby rapist and pedophile is being released from prison because they now identify as a woman.Yes, you read that correctly. This is a disgusting and dangerous precedent. We need to talk.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9bZirRtoMo …
White said:
Let me tell you something about hormone levels because apparently this decision was made by a bunch of non-trans people who think that when you transition you’re suddenly a different person and then not responsible for the previous crimes that they’ve done and apparently that being on estrogen means that you have no sex drive.
…
One thing that I think people should probably be educated upon especially, people making decisions like releasing convicts into the general public, probably should know that rape, sexual assault, molestation has almost as much to do with power and just being a sadistic individual that wants to hurt someone for their own gratification then it does like sexual gratification.
Being trans or being on a particular hormone does not erase anything you have ever done, and this is just a disgusting, offensive, like, horrific precedent being set, and I hope, you know, those of you in the LGBT community like myself, speak out about this because this cannot be something that happens. Like here are enough people trying to paint the community as a community of predators, wrongfully so. Let’s not give them a situation where they are right to assume that.
Writer Matt Walsh tweeted that the story of Smith’s release is “absolutely insane.”
Similarly, Christian pro-family activist Elizabeth Johnston, aka The Activist Mommy, posted to Facebook, “This is so disturbing!! Who knows how long it is before countless sex offenders are using this excuse to get off??” READ MORE

In a stunning development that exposes cracks at the highest levels of power, President Donald Trump’s top counterterrorism official has abruptly resigned, refusing to stand behind a war he says should never have been fought. But while Washington deals with internal fracture, Iran is doing something far more dangerous—they are changing the battlefield in real time with a coordinated drone war that is now hitting targets across the entire Middle East. This isn’t theory. This isn’t speculation. This is happening right now and it bodes not well for Donald Trump and the global aspirations of his Department of War.
“Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:” Joel 3:9 (KJB)
In just the past 24 hours, Iran unleashed a multi-front drone offensive that lit up the region like a war map coming alive. Oil infrastructure, airports, diplomatic compounds—nothing appears off limits anymore. A major drone strike ignited a fire at the UAE’s Shah gas field, forcing operations to shut down and sending a clear message: energy is now a target. At the same time, repeated drone attacks struck the Fujairah oil hub, one of the most critical fuel storage and shipping centers on earth, disrupting operations and threatening global supply lines.

Dubai, one of the world’s busiest international gateways was not spared. A drone strike hit a fuel tank at the airport, triggering a massive fire and halting flights, proving that civilian infrastructure is now firmly in the crosshairs. And then came the direct hit that should send chills through every American watching this unfold: drones and rockets slammed into the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad, with at least one drone breaching defenses and causing damage inside the perimeter. This was not random. This was not isolated. This was coordinated. This was a regional drone blitz.
While the administration insists victory is within reach, the battlefield tells a very different story. Iran is not fighting a conventional war—it is fighting a distributed, asymmetric conflict, using drones, proxies, and precision strikes to stretch the battlefield across multiple nations at once. Saudi Arabia is intercepting waves of drones, Gulf nations are shutting down airspace, and oil prices are surging as the Strait of Hormuz trembles under the threat of closure.
And now, for the first time, a top insider has stepped forward and said what others are likely thinking but too afraid to say publicly: this war was not justified.
That resignation is not just political—it is prophetic in tone whether the man realizes it or not. It signals division, uncertainty, and the beginning of something that may spiral far beyond what anyone in Washington is prepared to handle.

For decades, wars were fought with tanks, jets, and boots on the ground. But what we are witnessing now is something different—a swarm war, where dozens, even hundreds, of drones can be launched in waves, overwhelming defenses and striking targets simultaneously across vast distances. Iran doesn’t need to dominate the skies, it only needs to pierce them—again and again and again. And in the last 24 hours, that is exactly what they have done, to the shock, and surprise, of the Trump War Team.
The Bible tells us in Luke 21:9 (KJB):
“And 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.”
What we are watching is not just another conflict in the Middle East. It is a rapidly expanding confrontation touching oil routes, global economies, and now internal divisions within the highest levels of government. A resignation in Washington, drones over Dubai, fire in the oil fields. Explosions at U.S. compounds. Piece by piece, the stage is being set. This is no longer a distant war fought in isolated deserts. This is a region-wide ignition event, and Iran’s drone swarm has proven one thing beyond any doubt: They are not losing—they are adapting. And in modern warfare, adaptation is often the difference between defeat… and turning the tide.

Something is wrong. Benjamin Netanyahu is not the kind of political figure who quietly disappears. For decades he has been one of the most recognizable leaders on the world stage, a man whose name normally appears in headlines almost daily. Whether speaking at the United Nations, addressing the Knesset, or responding to war in the Middle East, Netanyahu is usually front and center. And yet suddenly, he isn’t. For the past 4 days, there has not been a single headline on any Jewish news site, or any news site for that matter, relaying to you some new thing from Netanyahu. In a wartime environment where Israel is fighting on two fronts at the same time, that is astounding, and it’s something I’ve never seen in 17 years of covering wars in the Middle East.
“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:14 (KJB)
Since March 12, the Israeli prime minister has largely vanished from the front pages of major Israeli outlets like The Jerusalem Post and Times of Israel. Click on those links and go see for yourself that he’s not there when he has always been there, and in the middle of a regional war, no less. No new press conferences. No dominating headlines. Just silence where normally there would be a constant drumbeat of statements and appearances. Now before the internet rumor mill spins completely out of control, let’s say something plainly – There are no confirmed report that Netanyahu is dead. If that had happened, the entire world would likely know within minutes, or maybe not. But why is someone posting very sketchy AI-looking videos to attempt to prove he’s still alive?
History is filled with moments when powerful leaders suddenly disappeared from public view just before major geopolitical shifts. When governments enter crisis mode, the public narrative often goes quiet while enormous decisions are made behind closed doors.
Happening right now in northern Israel after ballistic missile strike from Hezbollah. Oddly, Netanyahu still has made no public appearance or statement about the war since March 12th. You would think he’d have something to say about this. Where is Bibi?🤔#WhereIsBibi pic.twitter.com/qOkrFq8spV

And make no mistake, the Middle East right now is sitting on a powder keg. Iran. Hezbollah. Gaza. Syria. Global pressure mounting against Israel. The entire region is vibrating with tension, and Jerusalem once again stands at the center of it all. For the Bible believer, that should make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Because the Bible tells us that Jerusalem would become the focal point of the last days.
Zechariah 12:3 (KJB) says:
“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
Look at the world today. That verse reads like tomorrow morning’s headline. Every major power on earth has an opinion about Israel. Every international body wants to dictate the future of Jerusalem. Every regional conflict somehow finds its way back to the Jewish state. The pressure is building, and the Bible said it would.
So when the prime minister of Israel suddenly fades into the background during a time like this, it is worth asking why.
We live in the age of memetic warfare. Governments control narratives. Intelligence agencies shape public perception. Social media explodes with rumors while the real story often sits buried beneath layers of silence. But the bigger picture is not so much about Benjamin Netanyahu, it’s about the direction the world is heading.
The Bible tells us that the last days will revolve around Israel, global conflict, and the rise of a coming world leader who will eventually step onto the stage promising peace in the Middle East.
Daniel 9:27 (KJB) says:
“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease…”
That covenant has not yet been signed. The man of sin has not yet been revealed. But the stage is being assembled piece by piece, crisis by crisis, war by war. Every new conflict around Israel tightens the prophetic vise just a little more.
Someone posted this very AI-looking video of Netanyahu on his page to “prove” he wasn’t dead. But…There has not been ONE article on Netanyahu doing or saying anything for the past 3 days on any Jewish news site. Why is that? He may be alive but THIS is not proof of anything. pic.twitter.com/IsNYvsrOD9
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) March 15, 2026
So whether Netanyahu simply stepped out of the spotlight for wartime strategy, or whether something larger and more sinister is unfolding behind closed doors, the real takeaway remains the same. The world’s attention is once again locked onto Israel, Jerusalem is once again at the center of global tension, and the Bible said thousands of years ago that this is exactly how the final chapter of human history would begin to unfold.
Bible believers should not be panicking, but we absolutely should be watching. Because when the leaders of Israel go quiet during wartime, it often means the next move on the prophetic chessboard is already being prepared.

Think about this. US tech billionaire and MAGA donor Peter Thiel started a series of closed-door lectures about the antichrist in Rome on Sunday, putting him on collision course with Pope Leo XIV, the Catholic Church’s first American pontiff. Over in France, Emmanuel Macron said the other day “The unchecked escalation we are witnessing is plunging the entire Middle East into chaos, with major consequences today and for the years to come.” In Gaza, Jared Kushner has been named as the ‘Special Peace Envoy’ on the Board of Peace that operates under no authority other than Donald Trump. There are so many devils you almost don’t know where to look. Today, we’ll look to the King James Bible to help us figure this thing out.
“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” 1 John 2:18 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, it’s one of the most unusual times in modern history as the entire world seems to be growing ever more obsessed with the coming Antichrist. Streaming outlets like Hulu, Netflix and Prime all feature programming that grows darker and more demonic by the minute, telling you about the coming UFO and alien invasion, Lucifer, Satan, the coming Antichrist, and the rise of the New World Order. On that last point, the GOP Convention showed you that as well back in 2024. The Middle East is doing exactly what the prophets said they would be doing in the last days, Habakkuk being so very spot on when he said said we would see it but not believe it. Christian, it’s staring you in the face right now, how’s your end times eyesight doing? Jared Kushner, Peter Thiel and Emmanuel Macron are leading us rapidly forward on a variety of different levels, but where does that journey end? If you’re saved, you’re waiting for Jesus Christ to come pull us up and into the clouds to be with Him at the Pretrib Rapture of the Church. If you’re lost, you’re getting ready to take the Mark of the Beast under Antichrist. Dispensations are about to collide, and today we open the Scripture of Truth to see how it all will unfold. Fun Fact: today is Day 2,191 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, 6 years to the day that started on March 16th of 2020.
