Donkeys, Elephants, and Citizens of a Better Land

Christians are not immune to becoming entrenched politically and allowing a partisan mindset to obscure the spiritual and prophetic significance of events taking place around them. If there were any doubt on this point, the global Covid pandemic provides many examples of Christians doing this very thing.


Christians ought to have been the last people fooled by global lockdowns and digital passports during Covid. Anyone with a proper working familiarity with the Bible knows that it tells us the signs that the world will end. We are instructed in the most solemn terms to discern the signs of the times. Jesus Himself stated, “Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them” – Luke 12:37. Also see Luke 21:34-36, Matthew 24.


Amongst the many other prophecies of this sort interspersed throughout Scripture, there are two main books which speak extensively on prophecy and the end of the world. Those books are the books of Daniel and the Revelation. In both there are specific revelations from God regarding end time events. The book of Revelation begins with the statement that this is the “revelation of Jesus Christ” to the Apostle John regarding the end of the world – see Revelation 1:1.


Revelation 13 contains the prophecy of the “mark of the beast”, and describes it as a condition imposed on every person on earth by civil authorities who operate under the directions and influence of the “Lamb-Like Beast”. The mark of the beast, simply put, is a test for participation in society – it is a condition imposed by governments which completely restricts an individual from buying or selling if he or she does not have the mark. That means restrictions on commerce, transportation and mobility, speech, internet usage – everything.

If you think that sounds a lot like central bank digital currencies, digital passports, a cashless society, and the profound restrictions on personal freedom and movement that arose over the course of nearly four years, you’d be right. The global events we have witnessed are surely a harbinger of things to come. The system is being built before our very eyes.


The Bible emphasises that no one on the earth will be immune from the test of the mark of the beast, and in case there was any doubt, Revelation emphasises that it applies to “all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond” – Revelation 13:16.


Contrary to what the “once saved always saved” crowd says, the mark of the beast test is determinative of the salvation of the people at the end of the world. The class that refuses the mark is persecuted and ordered to be put to death by civil powers – Revelation 13:15, but triumphs in the end – Revelation 15:2. They get “the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name”. The class that takes the mark can buy and sell for a short time, but then it receives the plagues mentioned in Revelation 16, and is thrown into the Lake of Fire with the devil and his angels – Revelation 14:9-11; 19:20.


Most Christians who study their Bibles to some extent, as opposed to the vast number of professed Christians who do not, have some general awareness of these prophecies. And yet during Covid, there were millions upon millions of Christians who failed to recognize that near-global forced lockdowns, vaccine passports, restrictions on cash, segregated societies etc. were a prophesied move in the direction the events described in Revelation 13.


Those who failed to recognize the prophetic implications can be generally subdivided into two classes.

One group of Christians, as stated, were oblivious to the prophetic significance because they simply do not read their Bibles, or only read them cursorily. These people have essentially obtained all of their understanding of the Bible, such as it is, from their pastor or priest. They fail to inquire of the Word of God themselves.


While this nominal and uninformed type of Christianity is still labeled by the world as “Christianity”, this is illusive because Christians are instructed to study and watch - for example, see Mark 13:35-37.i Christ never instructed His followers to be ignorant and uninformed, to bow to public pressure on matters of conscience, or to receive their information from their equally ignorant and uninformed pastors or priests.


The other group of Christians in this category, however, failed to recognize the prophetic significance of the events around them even though they read the Bible to some greater or lesser extent. A large number in this class of persons, it can safely be said, often missed the prophetic significance of global lockdowns and economic restrictions because of their political allegiance to left wing ideology and/or parties.


Since it was primarily their tribe which imposed lockdowns and vaccine passports, etc., these Christians often proved incapable of putting sufficient distance between their party’s positions and their obligation to uphold and align themselves with Christian principles which have superior claims, such as liberty of conscience, the right to bodily autonomy, and freedom of speech. When governments around the world began to violate the right of free speech, these Christians sided with the state. When Christian pastors were being arrested for having a Bible study or a church service, these Christians sided with the state. When the governments told their citizens they had to have injections from Pfizer or Moderna or Astra Zeneca, these Christians sided with the state. They were unable to discern that what was taking place all around them was in fact an obvious advance toward the events of Revelation 13.


To underscore the depth of their blindness, many in this class are so deluded that they still think that coercing billions of people to take the useless and dangerous Pfizer shot, and locking them away from society if they refused, was a good idea.


We could generally summarize all the points made so far thusly: in America, if a Christian person was a member of Team Donkey, they were much more likely to rationalize oppression because it was Team Donkey that was doing the oppressing.


An observer might reasonably conclude from this, therefore, that a Christian person could avoid this spiritual blindness by simply not being a member of the Donkey Party. And of course, that would be a good idea for further reasons we will come to momentarily.


But it turns out the phenomenon is not exclusive to only to Team Donkey. It can be readily proven, in fact, that Christians who are on Team Donkey or Team Elephant both have a similar problem applying Bible principles objectively to a given fact scenario which touches on Revelation 13.


In case there were any doubt of this, Providence has now determined to demonstrate the point for the world to see by way of observation of those Christians who are members of Team Elephant. Observation supports the proposition that Christians on Team Elephant experience a similar cognizance-impairing bias.


When the Lamb-Like Beast imposes and threatens to impose aggressive global tariffs,i or threatens land seizures (Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal, and now the Gaza Strip)ii, Christians on Team Elephant tend to ignore it.


When the Lamb-Like Beast makes public pronouncements from the Executive Branch that society needs to return to God, or that God’s plan for America will be fulfilled “sooner rather than later”,iii they are silent. Most are not inclined to defend the separation of church and state or the First Amendment of the Constitution.

When the very co-author of Project 2025, which outlines plans for the state to legislate a national Sunday law, becomes part of the White House Cabinet, they are silent.iv Sunday legislation is undoubtedly the prophesied mark of the beast, the enforcement of the day of the Roman Papacy which boasts of its claimed change of the law of God as the special “mark” of its authority.v But many Christians, even those from the Seventh-day Adventist and Seventh-day Baptist denominations, are quiet.


The Bible prophesies that the Lamb-Like Beast will make use of coercion as a mechanism to persuade the nations to impose the mark of the beast. Notice the language in Revelation 13:14 and 16: “saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by the sword, and did live”, and, “he causes all, both small and great” etc, to “receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads”.

Tariffs are a tool of coercion. America has the greatest economic clout on the planet, and prophecy indicates that it will utilize its leverage to compel nations to impose the mark. We know the nations of the world will fall into line.vi


We appear to have come to an inflection point in the timeline of Bible prophecy, and ought to know that the imposition of the mark is on the near horizon. When the leader of the Lamb-Like Beast boastfully claims that it has the nations of the world “over a barrel” economically,vii watch out.


Around the world, plans to control buying, selling, speech and movement are being implemented in phases using digital IDs and artificial intelligence. Team Elephant has committed to funding AI in America to the tune of $500 billion dollars.viii There is a proposal to replace most Federal employees with machines.ix But there is little comment by Christians, and can there be any doubt their political allegiances are causing this silence?


The call in Revelation 18:4 to “Come out of her my people” applies not only to the apostate churches, but in principle applies to earthly party allegiances. It includes a separation from human tribalism. Therefore, come out of Team Donkey, and come out of Team Elephant, and be free of partisan loyalties because both of them will support the taking of the mark, and both of them will receive the plagues, and both of them will be thrown into the lake of fire. And if you are in them still, so will you.


According to the Apostle Paul, Christians ought to stand as registered independents with respect to political allegiances. God calls His followers “citizens with the saints” – a group who is called out and who’s allegiance is to heaven first, not second. They are of the “household of God”, not Team Donkey or Team Elephant.

Speaking of those who had gone before, Paul writes:


Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.


Heb 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.


Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.


Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.


This world is not our home. We have a city. We have a country. Let us stand as independents, judging righteously and not corrupted with partisanship. Let us watch faithfully and impartially, and weigh each issue against the inerrant standard of the Word of God. For we seek a city also, “Whose Builder and Maker is God” – Hebrews 11:10.

MICHIGAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES PASS RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH PAPAL HOLIDAY

By Wings of Liberty • November 22, 2025
On November 13, 2025, the Michigan House of Representatives passed House Resolution 222 which officially declares November 23, 2025, as “Christ the King Sunday”. Since we had never heard of this festival some research was in order. The Feast of Christ the King is an annual Catholic holy day instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925 in an encyclical entitled Quas Primas, Latin for “In the First”. i SPOILER ALERT: If you have read papal encyclicals before, this one is just as pretentiously arrogant as the rest of them, full of flowery rubbish the substance of which is that the pope ought to be reinstated as ruler of the world, and outrageous lies about utopia on planet earth if this were to occur. The encyclical would be ridiculous but for the deadly serious history of the murder of millions of martyrs by the Papacy. Rome never changes. Quas Primas was written by Pius XI prior to the Lateran Pact in 1929 which restored civil power to the Papacy. In consequence, the encyclical is a manifesto for the restoration of the union of church and state, and contains a number of statements to this effect: If We ordain that the whole Catholic world shall revere Christ as King, We shall minister to the need of the present day, and at the same time provide an excellent remedy for the plague which now infects society. We refer to the plague of anti-clericalism, its errors and impious activities. [Anticlericalism is criticism of the clergy, especially clergy who are always meddling with civil power]. … Moreover, the annual and universal celebration of the feast of the Kingship of Christ will draw attention to the evils which anticlericalism has brought upon society in drawing men away from Christ, and will also do much to remedy them. While nations insult the beloved name of our Redeemer by suppressing all mention of it in their conferences and parliaments, we must all the more loudly proclaim his kingly dignity and power, all the more universally affirm his rights. … When we pay honor to the princely dignity of Christ, men will doubtless be reminded that the Church, founded by Christ as a perfect society, has a natural and inalienable right to perfect freedom and immunity from the power of the state; and that in fulfilling the task committed to her by God of teaching, ruling, and guiding to eternal bliss those who belong to the kingdom of Christ, she cannot be subject to any external power. … But how is this connected to Resolution 222? Why is the Michigan House of Representatives making resolutions to impose Catholic religious festivals on the people of Michigan, most of whom are not Catholic? The answer is that Christian Nationalists today want the same thing Pius XI wanted when he wrote Quas Primas in 1925, and created the Feast of Christ the King: a union of church and state. The Michigan resolution was sponsored by Republican state Representative and Catholic, Josh Schriver, who also sponsored a resolution in September 2025 to honor Pope Leo XIV upon his election as pope. Mr. Schriver has ties to the so-called Christian Nationalist movement and its ongoing efforts to unite church and state in America. In a 2023 talk radio interview on WCHY-FM, Mr. Schriver declared that “it's God who appoints our elective officials. Honestly, I work for God and not for man. And so I answer to one person, and that's Jesus Christ.” Mr. Schriver’s assertion that he is not accountable to the citizens of the 66 th district is something they will perhaps remember when they have occasion to revisit the ballot box. But we digress. More to the point, the Michigan House of Representatives has taken steps to unite church and state, a violation of the Establishment Clause which is extended to apply to the individual states via the 14 th Amendment. See Everson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 1 (1947) - https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/330/1/. Bible prophecy foretells of a coming union of church and state in America, and in the world at large, and the imposition of the mark of papal authority, which is Sunday sacredness. It is not so far fetched as one watches events in the state of Michigan.

The Sun Is Setting on the British Empire

By Wings of Liberty • October 18, 2025
Humanity is accelerating toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and the events warned of in Revelation 13-18. Ecumenism is bringing Protestantism back into harmony with the Papacy. The wall of separation between church and state is under attack from religeonists who covet state power to compel their dogmas on the human population. We have passed another signpost. The Church of England split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 during the Reformation over a dispute about papal authority and the annulment of Henry VIII’s marriage. As a result of this schism, Anglicans have long had an established creed similar to the Westminster Confession of the Reformed Church. Like the Westminster Confession, the “39 Articles of Anglicanism” formally rejects the papal claim to universal supremacy for the Bishop of Rome. The 39 Articles of Anglicanism include the following: “As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred, so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith”; “The Romeish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshiping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God”, “It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, and the custom of the Primitive Church to have public Prayer in the Church, or to minister the Sacraments, in a tongue not understanded of the people”, “Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, are not commanded by God's Law, either to vow the estate of single life, or to abstain from marriage: therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other Christian men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness”, and “ The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this Realm of England.” The Popes assert they “hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty”. England rejected these boastful claims and the Pope’s presumptuous authority to dominate the minds and hearts of humanity. It is not a coincidence that while many other European countries were suffering under the oppression of the Inquisition, England was advancing toward empire. So vast was is influence at one time it was famously even claimed that “the sun never sets on the British empire”. But a great change has come. For some decades England, which never sufficiently distanced herself from Rome doctrineally, has been increasingly friendly toward the Papacy. Today, the globalism of the Roman pontiff is the globalism of King Charles III. The climate change agendas of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV are also shared by King Charles III, the latter of who’s father publicly advocated for population reduction and compared humanity to a “plague”. England is also adopting digital IDs and carrying out mass surveillance and censorship on its own citizens, a practice near to the hearts of the prelates of Rome, to be sure. And now, King Charles III, who holds the title of not only king but Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church, is headed to Rome to hold a public prayer ceremony with Pope Leo XIV. The leader of the Anglican Church has not engaged in public prayer with the Bishop of Rome for approximately 500 years. According to the Royal Palace, “This will be the first state visit, since the Reformation, where the Pope and the Monarch will pray together in an ecumenical service in the Sistine Chapel, and the first time the monarch will have attended a service in St Paul’s Outside the Walls, a church with an historic connection to the English Crown.” According to MSN News, Charles III will also accept a new title. “Charles is also being recogenised for the British monarchy’s historic association with the Papal Basilica of St Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome, the seat of a Benedictine Abbey, and will be made “Royal Confrater” of the abbey.” Rome never changes. The Papacy has not retreated one letter from its false doctrines. It still claims authority over this earth. It still teaches the false doctrine of purgatory and forbids priests to marry, as well as many more false doctrines which Protestants, including Anglicans, object to. So why this ecumenical development today? The change is with the Anglican Church, which is drifting back toward the once-estranged mother as prophecy foretells. The light of sola scriptura that was brought to England by the Bible is being rejected. It seeks the company of the pope, the pretender to the throne of Christ. Like Israel of old, Anglicanism will say, “we have no king but Caesar.” Of all the Protestant denominations, Anglicanism is the closest to Catholicism. The pageantry and formal rites still have many similarities. England mirrors the union of church and state of Roman Catholicism by unifying church and state in the person of the monarch of England. It has no pope, but it has a king who claims to be the head of the church. Now that king will go to Rome. All roads lead there, it is said, and Protestantism has set itself to prove it. The sun is setting on the British empire after all.

An Inconvenient Study

By AnInconvenientStudy.com • October 15, 2025
In 2016, journalist Del Bigtree issued a challenge to the head of infectious disease at one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world: conduct the most thorough vaxxed vs. unvaxxed study that has ever been done. The expert took up the challenge and ran the study to prove Del wrong. That study never saw the light of day... until now. Learn the implications and maybe for the first time see what the actual data shows. Too often we depend on medical experts , media, what our neighbor says, or what we have always believed. In this documentary type film learn what actual studies show on this issue. It may seem controversial but this presentation strives to reduce controversy to facts. View and perhaps be surprised and informed.
