Just a reminder the globalist “masters of the universe” have crowned China as the “model” of the new world order. How do 3yr lockdowns sound? Confined to your tiny apt? You’ll own nothing cuz u can’t earn a living. But are the Chinese people now happy as the globalists claim they should be?
The Chinese govt doesn’t keep its promises to supply food & water to lock downed citizens (the govt lies? nah say it ain’t so). I sure am glad our govt doesn’t do that.
So what’s left to do? People revolt & risk death or internment just because they want to live a “normal” (such as that is with a tyrannical boot on their neck 24/7) life as in earn a living, feed/care for themselves & their families. I guess the globalists consider that as a most unreasonable request in practice.
Remember our nation’s tiny taste of that during the recent 2y plandemic. But perk up fellow peasants the globalist nirvana has finally arrived here & with it the new improved heavy duty boot on our necks (with spikes) is in the offing. Enjoy!
PS If all this doesn’t sound too appealing then seek the Lord Jesus Christ while He still may be found. He is calling you to repent of your sins & trust in Him to cover you with His perfect righteousness He ALONE procured for you when He died for your sins on the cross. THEN after 3 days in the tomb He rose from the dead showing Himself alive for 50 days & was seen by hundreds of witnesses. That was the proof to all Jesus had power over death.
Faith ALONE in Christ ALONE.
John 11:25-26 “Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die.”
Lawyers for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) of England and Wales tried to have a Christian street preacher convicted for quoting the Bible to a lesbian couple, insisting that scripture is “no longer appropriate in modern society “.
The extraordinary case, mounted in what is still nominally a Christian church, with an established church in which the head of state serves as Supreme Governor, was brought against armed forces veteran and throat cancer survivor John Dunn, after the police referred him to prosecutors for telling a lesbian couple that it “says in the Bible that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God” in Swindon.
“Whether a statement of Christian belief or not, the court is being asked to consider whether the language has the potential to cause harassment, alarm or distress,” the CPS wrote to the courts when pursuing the case, in a document quoted by the Belfast News Letter.
“This document is not the forum for religious debate, but the bible contains other material recognising slavery (Exodus 21:7), the death sentence (Exodus 35:2 and Leviticus 24:16) and cannibalism (Deuteronomy 28:27),” the prosecutors asserted — sloppily, as it turns out, as Deuteronomy 28:27 actually makes no reference to cannibalism.
“There are references in the bible which are simply no longer appropriate in modern society and which would be deemed offensive if stated in public,” the CPS insisted.

“The suggestion by the Crown that there are parts of the Bible ‘which are simply no longer appropriate in modern society and which would be deemed offensive if stated in public’, is one that if accepted would have significant constitutional implications,” a Christian theologian consulted by the Christian Legal Centre to formulate a defence for Mr Dunn argued, citing the fact that the Bible “has had a unique status within British constitutional history” and was, for example, presented to the late Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation.
“Our Gracious Queen: To keep your Majesty ever mindful of the Law and the Gospel of God as the Rule for the whole life and government of Christian princes, we present you with this Book, the most valuable thing this world affords. Here is Wisdom; This is the royal Law; These are the lively Oracles of God,” she was told as the holy book was presented to her.
These arguments were not actually tested in court, however, as the case against Mr Dunn ended up being dropped — not because prosecutors had a change of heart, but because “the two women [who accused him] reportedly ‘refused to engage with the case’ after making the initial allegations”, according to Christian Concern, which works alongside the Christian Legal Centre.
What has been more concerning for some in Dunn’s case is the seeming disinterest in his plight from various churches in the British Isles, and the fact that other British prosecution services refused to say they would act as the CPS did.
The Belfast News Letter asked the Public Prosecution Service for Northern Ireland — Northern Ireland and Scotland retain criminal justice systems separate from that in England and Wales due to their history as independent kingdoms — if they shared the CPS’s view on biblical quotes being criminal, but it would only say that “[t]his is not a PPS case so we are not in a position to provide comment.”
The Church of England, Church of Ireland, Presbyterian Church in Ireland, and English Catholic Church all declined to comment — the last of these in particularly disingenuous terms, suggesting that “as this case didn’t result in a conviction, there is nothing we can add at this point”.
Mr Dunn, for his part, said he was “relieved and grateful that the case has been dropped” — and that he “plan[s] to continue to preach on the streets of Swindon.”
“When I preach, I only ever say what is in the Bible. When [my accusers] told me they were in a same-sex marriage, I was concerned for them. I had to communicate the consequences of their actions based on what the Bible says. I wanted to warn them, not out of condemnation, but out of love,” h e said in comments quoted by Christian Concern.
“I wanted… them to know that there is forgiveness through the love of Jesus,” he added. Christian Legal Centre chief executive Andrea Williams lamented that the prosecution had ever been attempted, saying that it was “extraordinary that the prosecution, speaking on behalf of the state, could say that the Bible contains abusive words which, when spoken in public, constitute a criminal offence.”

SO, HERE WE GO BRETHREN……
This is how the incarcerations of the body of Christ will begin. And something else I’m wondering about – don’t you think that it is a bit coincidental that Prince Charles is now KING Charles, and some of the things this man is saying alarms many of us.
There are many people who believe that Charles might very well be Antichrist.
We need to be looking for JESUS CHRIST and NOT Antichrist! AMEN?
Hawaii’s Mauna Loa eruption is spewing volcanic ash and debris nearby
The world’s largest active volcano, Hawaii’s Mauna Loa, has started to erupt for the first time in nearly four decades, prompting volcanic ash and debris to fall nearby, authorities said Monday.
The eruption began at approximately 11:30 p.m. Sunday in Moku‘āweoweo, the summit caldera of the Mauna Loa volcano, inside Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island.
As of 2:43 a.m. local time, “the eruption continues at the summit of Mauna Loa,” according to the latest Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Status Report from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). “All vents remain restricted to the summit area,” the report said. “However, lava flows in the summit region are visible from Kona. There is currently no indication of any migration of the eruption into a rift zone.”
A rift zone is where the mountain is splitting apart, the rock is cracked and relatively weak and it is easier for magma to emerge, according to The Associated Press.
“The Volcano Alert Level and Aviation Color Code for Mauna Loa remains at WARNING/RED,” the update added. “HVO is continuing to monitor conditions carefully and will issue additional notices as needed.”
The USGS warned that residents at risk from Mauna Loa lava flows should review their eruption preparations. Scientists had been on alert because of a recent spike in earthquakes at the summit of the volcano, which last erupted in 1984.
Portions of the Big Island were under an ashfall advisory issued by the National Weather Service in Honolulu, which said up to a quarter-inch of ash could accumulate in some areas.

Mauna Loa is one of five volcanoes that together make up the Big Island of Hawaii, which is the southernmost island in the Hawaiian archipelago.

Mauna Loa, rising 13,679 feet above sea level, is the much larger neighbor to Kilauea volcano, which erupted in a residential neighborhood and destroyed 700 homes in 2018. Some of its slopes are much steeper than Kilauea’s so when it erupts, its lava can flow much faster.
During a 1950 eruption, the mountain’s lava traveled 15 miles to the ocean in less than three hours.
Mauna Loa last erupted for twenty days between March and April 1984. That means the new eruption that started Sunday night ended the volcano’s longest quiet period in recorded history.
“Based on past events, the early stages of a Mauna Loa eruption can be very dynamic and the location and advance of lava flows can change rapidly,” the USGS said Sunday night. “If the eruption remains in Moku‘āweoweo, lava flows will most likely be confined within the caldera walls. However, if the eruptive vents migrate outside its walls, lava flows may move rapidly downslope.” Source
Protests spread to other Chinese cities as outrage boils over
Rare mass protests against COVID-19 lockdowns have broken out across China, including in major cities, following the horrific deaths of at least 10 people in Xinjiang’s capital city of Urumqi in north-western China, when first responders were unable to reach an apartment fire that was left to burn for hours due to COVID-19 blockades and locks throughout the residential compound.
Video footage of the incident went viral on Chinese social media before internet censors could remove news of the tragedy, sparking outrage as more districts around China announced their own lockdowns in response to surging numbers of COVID-19 infections.
Protests broke out in many places across Urumqi city on Nov. 25, with angry residents demanding that the city-wide lockdown, which had lasted for three to four months, be lifted.
A resident of Lianxing community in Urumqi told The Epoch Times on Nov. 26 that many residents rushed out of their residences on the night of Nov. 25. “People came out to protest in all communities in Urumqi, all of them came out.”
Angry residents have broke blockades and pushed down fences, shouting slogans of “down with the Communist Party” and “Xi Jinping should resign.”
Facing the protests, city authorities on Nov. 26 announced they were loosening Urumqi’s COVID-19 restrictions.
Citizens were told they can leave home as long as they have been isolated for three days and that shops were allowed to reopen. High-risk areas that have not reported new infections for five consecutive days would also be reclassified as low-risk areas, allowing residents to leave their residential compounds.
A resident who has a restaurant in Midong District told The Epoch Times: “This time, the protest was quite fierce, so it worked,” referring to the authority’s response.

“Quite a lot of people in other communities also come out,” he said. “We have been sealed in for too long … Everyone is so suffocated [by the lockdowns] that they are about to explode, and restaurants should be allowed to open now after the protest.”
A supermarket owner in Shuimu Shangcheng, Urumqi, confirmed to The Epoch Times that her store was allowed to reopen on Nov. 26.
Meanwhile, following the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) national congress, the regime is releasing new epidemic prevention regulations aimed at preventing excessive use of control measures by local authorities. However, the updated policies still adhere to the restrictive “zero-COVID” approach, leaving local authorities without much room to make any policy changes.
With a rapidly rising number of infections this month, more Chinese cities have announced more lockdowns in new areas, causing growing public anger.
Beijing Residents Stand Together to Disregard Lockdown Orders
At the beginning of November, the official number of new infections in Beijing exceeded 10,000. Despite forcing 20 new areas into lockdown, Beijing authorities did not dare announce a city-wide lockdown, although most parts of the city were under lockdown.
However, following the Xinjiang protests on Nov. 25, many residents in Beijing, unable to bear the lockdowns anymore, broke through their own blockades and freed themselves into the streets in violation of government lockdown orders.
Ms. Li from Beijing’s Daxing District told The Epoch Times on Nov. 27 that the residential community she lives in had been in lockdown and joined in the protest.
“Everyone in our community pushed their sealed doors open and went outside. In the communities behind us and next to us, residents also pushed down the blockade and went out.”
She also revealed that shops are now open for business despite verbal lockdown orders from the local authorities.

The residential communities in Beijing were frequently sealed off due to individual residents testing positive for COVID. The residents have started to take collective actions to support their neighbors who test positive and don’t want to be forcefully taken away to centralized quarantine by authorities.
According to a report by the Chinese regime-controlled media ifeng.com, in Beijing’s large residential area Wangjing, residents in many communities posted public letters on Chinese social media, stating: “If the infected neighbors encounter any form of coercion, such as quarantine and re-examination and other related measures, I am willing to assist them in safeguarding their individual rights in accordance with the law.
“We do not blame or discriminate the innocent infected neighbors. This is to maintain the most basic moral respect for human beings in a civilized society! And we provide them with help as much as possible.”
China observer Zhou Xiaohui wrote in his column for The Epoch Times: “This action of the Beijing residents is self-organized help against the regime’s strict COVID control, and it shows their awakening.”
A video that has been circulating on social media shows residents in Haizhu district of Guangzhou city fighting with police on Nov. 25. They tore down iron fences and threw away stools and other objects from the authorities’ epidemic prevention tents in their neighborhood.
Mr. Meng (pseudonym), a villager in Houjiao Village in a district where many residents are migrant workers in the city, confirmed with The Epoch Times that the video footage is true. “It’s too chaotic now, the outbreak is everywhere, and Haizhu District is completely locked down.”
Mr. Meng said that the direct cause of the conflict was that the community store sold highly-priced cigarettes during the lockdown, and that local residents started a fight with the store owner.
Meng said, “Our area has been shut down for a month. Some people are unable to buy food, and many people have nothing to eat.” The people took the opportunity to revolt, he said.
Another resident, Mr. Shen (pseudonym), told The Epoch Times that the authorities only distributed supplies once on Nov. 16, and at other times, residents were left to buy highly-priced vegetables and supplies.
Meng said that after the incident with the store owner, police came in a few vehicles and started a violent conflict with the residents. After that, vegetable sellers were unable to enter the area, and officials did not let residents go out to buy food.
“There is no food to eat, and everyone vents their anger through the fights and quarrels. They [the authorities] locked all the migrant workers inside and they have no food to eat. Of course [the residents] pushed down all the iron sheets that blockaded the area.”
“The fight lasted from morning to night,” Meng said. “Four or five cars of policemen came. It ended at 7 or 8 in the evening. In the end, thousands of villagers came out including those who watched from the sidelines. The police carried weapons and batons, and arrested a few people. The riot police beat some unarmed residents.”
Chinese People Can No Longer Bear It
Zheng Xuguang, a U.S.-based economist, told The Epoch Times that the CCP can no longer justify its strict epidemic prevention measures as so many people are angry, and the restrictions have reached an unbearable level. After almost three years living under the zero-COVID policy, more and more people are joining in the protests.
Current affairs commentator Hui Huyu told The Epoch Times on Nov. 27 that the recent rise of people in Shanghai, Beijing, Xinjiang, Guangzhou, and other places shows that the tolerance of the general public in China for the “zero-COVID” policy has reached a critical point—the people are unwilling to bear it any longer, and they want to revolt.

Brothers and sisters in Christ, please pray for the people of China. Pray for all of them but especially the underground persecuted church! Pray that many unsaved Chinese people will be drawn by the Holy Spirit to our Savior!!
