Pope Francis Blesses The ‘Christ In The Rubble’ Nativity Scene That Depicts Baby Jesus Wearing The Keffiyeh Headscarf Of The Palestinian People
Outrage exploded online after Pope Francis inaugurated a nativity scene featuring a Palestinian keffiyeh wrapped around Jesus’s manger, in St. Peter’s Square on Saturday.
If you’ve been following the exploits of Pope Francis for any length of time, then you know just how anti-Christian and unbiblical he actually is. One of the ways he likes to show his hostility towards the God of the Bible is in his choices of s0-called nativity scenes. Back in 2020, Pope Francis unveiled a nativity scene that was straight out of a horror movie, something that could have been plucked from the deepest recesses of a pagan temple. Here in 2024, the Catholic monarch has put his ‘blessing’ on the ‘Christ In The Rubble’, a depiction of the baby Jesus as a Palestinian wearing the traditional keffiyeh scarf of a Palestinian. Check out our article on what the Bible has to say about Palestine.
“And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.” John 19:19 (KJB)
The actual baby Jesus was born in a place called Migdal Eder, the northern tip of Bethlehem, the tower of the flock where spotless lambs were born for use in the Temple in Jerusalem. Your King James Bible refers to this as Bethlehem Ephratah, the place where Rachel died. The fact that in 2024 that same land is, as lost people like to say, ‘Palestinian territory’, doesn’t change the equation one tiny, little bit. Pope Francis is of Antichrist, and everything he does and everything he says is helping to prepare the way for his arrival. Jesus was, and is, not only a Jew but the coming King of the Jews at the Second Advent. And when all is said and done, Zechariah 14:21 tells us that “in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.” There won’t be a ‘palestinian’ anywhere in Jerusalem or Judea.
Nativity scenes around the world have added a new accessory this Christmas season: the keffiyeh.
FROM THE NY POST: In a controversial take on the classic holiday display, some churches are replacing the baby Jesus’s traditional swaddling blanket with the black-and-white scarf — which has become a symbol of pro-Palestine activism. The manger used as a crib, meanwhile, is being surrounded by piles of rubble.
Even Pope Francis has gotten in on it. But many Christians and pro-Israel advocates are outraged by the apparent politicization of a sacred religious symbol. So-called “Christ in the Rubble” displays have become so popular that they’ve popped up everywhere from St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Washington, DC, to All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California, to the Vatican.
According to the Palestinian pastor who started the trend, the scenes are meant to send the message that, if Jesus were born in the same spot today, it would be in war-torn Palestine. Although Bethlehem is located in modern-day Palestine, Jesus was very much not a Palestinian. Many Christian faith leaders are offended, included Pastor Mark Burns of Harvest Faith Center in Easley, South Carolina.
“The fact of the matter is, Jesus was a Jew… To suggest Jesus was a Palestinian is to push a political agenda that is extremely offensive,” Burns told The Post. “The nativity is for everyone. It’s something that should surpass politics.”
Pastor Johnny Ellison of Chatt Valley Church in Phenix City, Alabama agreed: “If the Pope, or any group, is trying to turn the baby Jesus into a metaphor for Palestinian resistance, then they have failed before even getting started. Making the baby Jesus a symbol of military resistance is a defective biblical model.”
Outrage exploded online after Pope Francis inaugurated a nativity scene, designed by two artists from Bethlehem and featuring a keffiyeh wrapped around Jesus’s manger, in St. Peter’s Square on Saturday.
“Dressing baby Jesus in a keffiyeh is not only a cynical exploitation of the manger scene for political and propagandistic purposes, but it is also an absurd rewriting of history,” Dr. André Villeneuve, a professor of Old Testament and Biblical Languages at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, told The Post. “Everyone knows that Jesus was a Jew, a son of Israel. If he had been born in our generation, he would pray in a synagogue—not in a church or mosque.”
Luke Moon, executive director of the Philos Project which promotes Christian-Jewish relations, told The Post: “The Church should be telling the [nativity] story as it is written in the Bible — the story of a Jewish girl giving birth to a very special Jewish baby in a manger in the Jewish town of Bethlehem. It’s a story that shouldn’t be politicized by the Vatican.” READ MORE

Hundreds Of King James Bibles Have Been Urgently Requested From The State Correctional Institution In Muncy PA And From The Montana State Prison
SCI Muncy and the Montana State Prison are just a few of the jails and prisons who have reached out this week for King James Bibles and Christians books
The dearth of Bibles available to jails is weighing down hard on chaplains like Chaplain Hanson over at the State Correctional Institution In Muncy, PA, who wrote to us and said “Thank you for this exciting news this morning. We desperately need King James Bibles to give out to the men. I don’t know how many you are able to donate, but if we can get up to two hundred, that will be wonderful.” Remember my Sunday Sermon 2 weeks ago about the coming famine of the word of the Lord? Thank God His word is still available right here, right now, and we are able to send it out. What a blessing!
“Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;” Colossians 1:25 (KJB)
Chaplain Marshall from the Montana State Prison also wrote to us this week, we have supplied them in the past, to let us know they again have a high need for King James Bibles for their inmates. Time was there were dozens of KJV bible-sending ministries for inmates across the country, but in 2026, Bibles Behind Bars is one of the last suppliers of exclusively King James and KJV Spanish Bibles to jail and prisons in America. We have been tasked by God to stand in the gap and send the word out, what an awesome responsibility! But we need your help to keep on doing it.

BLOODBATH: Shakeup At Department Of Homeland Security As Trump Pivots To Show Sympathetic Response On Murder Of Alex Pretti In Minneapolis
President Trump is backpedaling furiously to stop the bleeding over at the Department of Homeland Security after recent Minneapolis street killings
The Trump administration is scrambling in the aftermath of the Minneapolis killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, shot by Border Patrol agents during what’s being described as part of Operation Metro Surge. As more video and witness reporting comes out, it has undercut key elements of the early federal narrative, and now the White House is trying to tamp down the fire with personnel moves and softer rhetoric. Trump is in the hot seat, rightly so, and he knows it.
“Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.” Isaiah 1:10 (KJB)
So we get the headlines: Border czar Tom Homan dispatched, Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino reassigned, and even reports of DHS restricting Bovino’s social media access—all the usual “optics management” that Washington does when a story won’t die. But here’s the problem: you can’t PR your way out of a moral collapse. The Trump administration is filled with cosplay poseurs like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino (who has failed out), and Kristi Noem who should be removed as quickly as possible. These are drastically unqualified people who are building incompetent departments stocked with poorly-trained people. Properly-trained officers would never have shot and killed those two people.
Trump knowing that he is in big trouble right now has done a 180 on his position on the events happening in Minneapolis. https://t.co/FXCELsG01b
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) January 27, 2026
As I have said many times over the years, I think both ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter are domestic terror organizations, and if that makes you mad, too bad. But as an American who stands on the rule of law, shooting protesters dead in the streets is a bad look, a really bad look, and that has to stop. God forbid we ever normalize that type of behavior as a means of conflict resolution, for if we do, we are done as a nation. Third world countries execute their protestors in the streets, not us.
So Trump realizing that with multiple corpses on his hands, he needs to turn this thing around as quickly as possible. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino was demoted and is leaving Minnesota. Tom Homan is taking over, reporting directly to Trump. Kristi Noem spent two hours in the Oval Office; her job status is unclear. Trump called Governor Tim Walz and said they’re on “the same wavelength.” A partial government shutdown looms Friday with reports saying that House Republicans can’t pass another DHS funding bill. Trump would do well to go watch the Reagan movie from last year, and learn a little something about how the office of the president should be conducted. I really miss Reagan.
