In 2021, almost every type of violent crime is on the rise in New York City According to recent figures from Compstat, the NYPD’s data gathering unit, crime is up 30 percent city wide

Post-pandemic New York City is a dystopian nightmare with violent crime, homelessness and drug addicts openly shooting up rising across the board, and this scene is being played out and repeated all across the country in states run by Democrat mayors and governors. If you thought the COVID nightmare was coming to an end, it’s not, it’s gathering strength and transforming itself into something much larger and more deadly than any virus.

“This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” 2 Peter 3:1-4 (KJB)

Axios reported that ‘Earlier Friday, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the U.S. is “taking a very close look” at the possibility of requiring vaccine passports for international travel.’ Don’t let the fact that baseball fields are reopening fool you into thinking we are getting past all this, we are not. The spirit of Antichrist began rising in 2020 because the time is at hand for all the things spoken of by the prophets to come to pass.

Post-pandemic New York City is laid bare as homelessness, mental illness and crime escalate and rattled locals and tourists alike believe the town ‘has lost its essence’ while city cheerleaders insist ‘the ship has turned’

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: ‘New Yorkers don’t feel safe and they don’t feel safe because the crime rate is up. It’s not that they are being neurotic or overly sensitive – they are right,’ Governor Andrew Cuomo declared on Wednesday.

‘We have a major crime problem in New York City. Everything we just talked about, with the economy coming back, you know what the first step is? People have to feel safe.’

Other city officials are more optimistic, talking up Gotham once again. ‘The ship has turned. We are headed towards recovery,’ Chris Heywood of NYC&Company, the city’s official tourism organization, told DailyMail.com. He confidently predicted New York will see 36.4 million visitors this year, more than half of the 2019 figure, but way up from last year’s number of 22.3 million, the majority of whom came in the first three months. ‘People are really eager to get back out there,’ he said.

Vijay Dandapani, president of the city’s Hotel Association, said it will take until at least 2025 for visitors to be back at pre-pandemic levels, mainly because of the lead-time needed for the lucrative conference and convention business to restart. ‘But New York will be back,’ he told DailyMail.com. ‘No-one is writing off New York, certainly not me.’ But not all are convinced the Big Apple is back on track.

‘I just want to go home. This is dangerous,’ Brandon Lee, 27, from Jersey City, New Jersey, complained to DailyMail.com as he sat in Times Square on Sunday night watching Mr. Kim’s melt down.

Others were disappointed there wasn’t more action. Around midnight, Amy, a 37-year-old in town with her boyfriend from Colorado Springs, Colorado, said: ‘I came here for the city that never sleeps. But apparently it goes to bed at 9.30!’

She and boyfriend Matt had visited downtown areas like Soho, Chinatown and Little Italy earlier in the day. Their most memorable sight was a homeless man pleasuring himself outside the Orpheum theater that, before the pandemic, had housed the show Stomp.

‘We were on our way to dinner,’ said Matt. ‘We lost our appetite a bit.’

Of course, most of the homeless are harmless. They have just fallen on hard times either through losing a job or a home or through drug use or they have mental issues. Tommy, a well-spoken 41-year-old originally from Buffalo, told DailyMail.com he just wants to get by and hopefully move on.

‘I realize tourists don’t want to see us sleeping on the sidewalk. I don’t want to sleep on the sidewalk, but right now I have no choice,’ he said. ‘I’m not going to hurt you, but I will ask you for a dollar or some change.’

A total of 206,000 people visited Times Square this past Saturday, according to Tom Harris, acting president of the Times Square Alliance. That is down from pre-pandemic levels of 365,000 but well up from last year’s low of 35,000.

‘People are starting to come back to Times Square, with warmer weather, increased vaccinations and a lot of pent-up demand,’ Harris told DailyMail.com ‘I’m very optimistic about the future.

There is no doubt that Times Square, the Crossroads of the World, has changed from pre-pandemic times. Then it was packed with tourists from around the world. Now it’s mainly what Manhattanites dismissively call the ‘Bridge and Tunnel crowd’ — visitors from New York’s four other boroughs and nearby locations such as New Jersey, Long Island and Westchester County.

‘Times Square has lost its essence,’ a cop patrolling the area told DailyMail.com. ‘People come here now and just sit. Before, things were much more organized and orderly. Families came in from out of state, out of the country, for shows. Now it’s a more urban, younger vibe.’

He said it’s exhausting trying to control the mostly low-level crimes there, the drug sales, the noise, the harassing behavior. ‘I’ve arrested most of these guys already, and issued them summonses,’ he said. ‘It doesn’t stop them.’ He also said prostitution is rearing its head around Times Square. ‘We see the same girls coming in there with different people all the time,’ he said, nodding toward one of the area’s best-known hotels.

Andy Hort, who runs a printing company in Times Square, said he now avoid the area whenever he can.

‘There’s a lot more crime and a lot more drug addicts and vagrants everywhere,’ he told DailyMail.com. ‘In the last three months, I’ve seen three or four people shooting up right in front of me. I’m not the biggest supporter of Rudy Giuliani, but when he was mayor, he definitely brought Times Square into a Disney-like tourist area from what was a seedy strip club area,’ Hort said. ‘Right now, I feel like it’s slipping back to where it was previously.’  READ MORE

The Carson City Correctional Facility In Michigan With Its 2,300 Inmates Is In Need Of As Many King James Bibles As We Can Send Them

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Carson City Correctional Center in Michigan has currently 2,300 inmates and a chaplain who needs as many Bibles as we can send them

Carson City Correctional Facility in Michigan is a multi-level facility consisting of 15 housing units. DRF-West consists of seven housing units; one unsecured Level I unit with 120 beds, three Level II units with 720 beds, two Level IV units with 384 beds, and a 22-bed temporary segregation unit. The Carson City Correctional Facility has 428 employees when fully staffed and the capacity to house 2,526 adult prisoners. Chaplain Lonnie wrote to us today asking for as many Bibles as we are able to send them.

“To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” Isaiah 42:7 (KJB)

Carson City Correctional will be the 28th prison that we will have sent Bibles to in the current “hot streak” the Lord has us on, it’s an exciting thing seeing all these facilities reaching out to us and us being able to meet each and every need that comes in. Chaplain Lonny writes to say “We have 2300 inmates within two facilities and three security levels. We would deeply appreciate as many Bibles as possible.”

Since I last wrote, we have been able to send out Bibles and books to the Heard County Jail, Charlotte Hall Veterans Home, Maine Correctional Center, and Moberly Correctional as well. Carson City with its current roster of 2,300 inmates is a big one, and I don’t expect to be able to send them a bible for each inmate, as that would come out to about $8,257. But realistically, if we could send them somewhere between 500 – 1,000 Bibles, that would be a wonderful start. But the final number we send is up to each and every one of you. Come help us, we need you!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

In 692 AD, The Roman Catholic Church Codified ‘Good Friday’ Along With The Unbiblical Adoration Of The Cross And The Worshipping Of The Eucharist

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Roman Catholic practice of Good Friday evolved slowly in the 4th century until becoming codified at the Quinisext Council in 692 AD

The Roman Catholic Church likes to pretend that the things they do are the things that they’ve always done, and that is far from the truth. For example, worshipping of Mary was something that developed gradually over time and was not codified until 1854 when Pope Pius IX issued his Ineffabilis Deus. Yet the Vatican likes to make you think it was always that way, and that all the apostles did that, and that is a lie. Another good lie is ‘Good Friday’, much older than Mary worship but still as recent as 692.

“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” 1 John 2:19 (KJB)

Look at the photo at the top of this article, this is what a Good Friday holy day looks like in Europe, this was filmed in Spain. Terrifying, isn’t it? Now you know where the Spanish Inquisition came from. Those of you who know me know that for 30 years before I got saved, I was a Roman Catholic trained in Jesuit schools, and trained as an altar boy in the dark mystery of Mass. I speak not as an outsider, but as one trained at the highest levels of Roman Catholicism.

The practice of Good Friday observance traces back to ancient times, with some customs documented as early as the 4th century by Egeria. Its evolution into a day of penance and fasting commemorates Christ’s death, with the name “Good Friday” possibly originating from “God’s Friday.” The veneration of the cross likely began in Jerusalem between the 7th and 8th centuries, with references to pre-sanctified Masses dating back to the Quinisext Council in AD 692. source

THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT:

  • Nuns
  • Priests
  • Confession to a priest
  • Prayer to Mary
  • Veneration of Mary
  • Christmas
  • Lent
  • Good Friday
  • Easter
  • The Mass
  • The Eucharist
  • Transubstantiation
  • Holy Orders
  • Last Rites
  • Purgatory

In the Bible, there is no Lent, there is no Good Friday, and the only people celebrating Easter are the pagan Romans like Herod who killed Christians. It breaks my heart seeing Baptist churches putting up signs for ‘holy week’, and ‘come celebrate Good Friday with us’, proving just how hard it is to extricate yourself from the grip of Mother Rome, even for Baptists. That’s why I wrote the handy, little guide showing you the Bible truth about the week-long passion of Jesus Christ. For extra credit, please also read ‘Lent Is Taken From The Babylonian Practice Of Weeping For Tammuz’, ‘Don’t Be Fooled Into Observing Phony Roman Catholic ‘Holy Week’ Rituals Like Easter, Here Is What Actually Happened To Jesus During His Week Of Passion’ and ‘Good Friday’ Is A Roman Catholic Invention, The Bible Says Jesus Went To The Cross On A Wednesday’ Hope it’s a blessing, enjoy and share!

DIVINE FEMININE: White House Faith Office Director Paula White Strikes Gold In Trump Oval Office As The End Times Spiritual Leader America Deserves

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Apostle and end times deceiver Paula White is reveling in her role as the Divine Feminine spiritual leader in the Trump White House

Paula White has arrived at the moment she has always longed for, nearly unlimited wealth and power through her association with the most politically-powerful man on earth, President Donald Trump. As a self-proclaimed and self-anointed ‘apostle’, Paula White is the living, breathing embodiment of the type of false and deceitful workers the apostle Paul warns us about. The falling away in the Laodicean Church, (if you know you know), is staring you right in the face if you have eyes to see it. That’s the memo.

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:13 (KJB)

Speaking of President Trump, White says “There will be some people that absolutely believe that he is chosen and he is anointed”. On our Podcast on Monday talking about Real ID and the Mark of the Beast, I said the exact same thing, but for a much different reason. What Apostle Paula doesn’t know or understand, is that God can sometimes anoint people as He does in the Bible to carry out some very scary stuff. For example, Ezekiel 28 shows us Lucifer as the anointed of God, and Isaiah 10 shows us him being used of God as Antichrist. King Saul was a terrible king over Israel, yet he was anointed of God for that role. I believe that, according to Daniel 2, God did indeed raise up Donald Trump to be the ruler of the most powerful nation on Earth. I also believe Trump is in this position to advance the end times timeline and, unwittingly to himself, carry out the judgment of God on America and on the world.

Apostle Paula White feels right at home in Trump White House

FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: In March, six weeks after President Trump appointed her to lead his White House Faith Office and set her up with an office in the West Wing, evangelical Christian leader Paula White preached in a YouTube sermon that the Passover-to-Easter period provided the faithful with an opportunity to receive “seven supernatural blessings.”

“God will assign an angel to you,” she said. “He’ll be an enemy to your enemies. He’ll give you prosperity.” Citing a verse from Exodus, she added that God also had decreed that “none shall appear before me empty-handed.”

The video then pivoted into fundraising mode, outlining a series of gifts for honoring God and supporting her ministry, culminating in a Waterford crystal cross for a “Passover/Easter resurrection offering of $1,000 or more.” Next came footage of Trump in the Oval Office lauding White’s ministry and political work. “You have helped us so much in so many different ways,” Trump said.

Over a four-decade career as a preacher and televangelist, the 58-year-old White has become both enormously influential and controversial in the evangelical world. Her 24-year friendship with Trump, which she said began when he called her after seeing her preach on a Florida TV station, has culminated in a role that combines religion and politics in ways that have little precedent in modern White House history.

In addition to advising the White House office set up to empower faith groups, White has repeatedly been photographed leading prayer sessions in which she and others—heads bowed and eyes closed—lay their hands on the president, including in the Oval Office.

While working for the White House, White has continued to raise money for her ministry, as well as for StoryLife, the church she helps lead in Apopka, Fla., at times incorporating into her pitches images of Trump or references to her work with the president. That troubles some government ethics experts.

“This is the use of a public office for private gain,” said University of Minnesota law professor Richard Painter, the chief ethics lawyer to then-President George W. Bush and a frequent critic of Trump administration ethics. “You cannot use the presidency or any other public office to raise money for private organizations. No private organization should be doing this.

In recent sermons, she has urged followers to send her $133, reflecting the Bible verse Proverbs 1:33. A gift of $414, reflecting a verse from the book of Esther, brings a book set and an engraved crystal paperweight. “If you hold back now…God can’t use you. He doesn’t use spectators. He uses participators,” she said.

In a recent fundraising appeal, White said: “You don’t do this to get something, but you’re doing it in honor to God, realizing what you can receive.” READ MORE
