Night Falls In the Western World- Part 1

As the western world decays and forsakes the founding principles which elevated it to global prominence, it will move ever more rapidly toward menacing authoritarianism. Whether Covid was orchestrated or only exploited by powerful forces working toward this end is the substance of debate, but what is unmistakable is that the shift is ongoing in real time, right before our eyes.


Definable foundations undergird western success and prosperity: liberty of conscience and religious freedom, free speech and uncensored public discourse, and the right to assemble to seek redress for public grievances. Respect for private property rights. These comprise the proven platform for national greatness and individual advancement. Where liberty of conscience and freedom of speech is respected and upheld, humanity tends to advance. Where the heavy hand of the state controls the thoughts, words, and consciences of the populace, human society suffers, retreats and stagnates.


Though unpopular to state it, this is the key difference between the success and prosperity of predominantly Protestant countries and the stagnation and poverty of predominantly Catholic countries.


Many examples might be discussed which evidence the correctness of the foregoing assertions. One could speak of the Huguenots, for example, and their severe persecution by Catholic France. Papal-influenced France murdered hundreds of thousands of Protestant Huguenots, starting with the St. Bartholomew’s massacre, which occasioned the flight of the Huguenots from France.1 France’s loss became Belgium, Holland, England and American’s gain when Huguenot merchants, artisans, inventors and chemists sought liberty in flight from their homes in France.2 Many scholars say that France has never fully recovered from the loss of its best and brightest.


Huguenot Irénée du Pont brought expertise for making gunpowder to the American revolutionaries.3 The Wright Brothers were of Huguenot descent. Warren Buffett is of Huguenot descent. George Washington was of Huguenot descent on his mother’s side. Eight US Presidents were of Huguenot descent, including Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt, Ulysses S. Grant, and Harry Truman. Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, is of Huguenot descent. Alexander Hamilton and John Jay are of Huguenot descent, as is John D. Rockefeller.4


One only has to consider the explosion of invention and innovation in America to recognize the truth of the matter. Humanity stagnated and suffered under the thumb of tyrannical popes and kings for over a thousand years. The Bible was kept from the people, chained up in monasteries and reserved as a tool for priests to use to falsely support the rule of papal powers. The middle class was virtually nonexistent. There were monarchs, lords, and ecclesiastical powers at the top of the societal hierarchy, and oppressed and exploited peasants at the bottom.


But liberty gave a home to the oppressed in America, and created a land without kings or popes. When it did, there was an explosion of human creation and advance that has not been rivalled in history. From this home of liberty came ligh tbulbs and mass-produced automobiles, telephones and airplanes, the artificial heart, the phonograph, the internet, the hearing aid and GPS. The light of the Bible, and its messages of forgiveness, salvation in Christ, and the God-given right for humanity to come to God through Christ alone and not through an intermediary and exploitive human power such as the papacy, was studied and taught by the Pilgrims and their children for generations.


American civil government placed checks and balances on the inclinations of tyrannical leaders. The separation of power between Congress, the Executive and the Judiciary served to restrict authoritarianism and increase accountability. The Declaration of Independence asserts in thunder tones that rights do not come from the state but from the Creator God. The Constitution codifies individual rights. The people have a say in the laws which rule them in America’s republican democratic form of government.


To a significant extent, these governmental principles were also incorporated in most of the western world following the rise of the United States on the global stage.


And each of these principles – liberty of conscience, freedom of speech, limitations on executive power, the basic concept of inalienable individual rights - is under severe threat. America and the western world today increasingly tend toward a slouching and ominous authoritarianism.


In the next segment of this series, we will explore the movement away from liberty and toward authoritarianism which is sweeping the west, and how ominous this development is for global freedom. When malevolent powers attempted to conquer the world and humanity through warfare in World War I and II, the western world rose to do battle with the powers of darkness.


As the western world, with its great might and many blessings, turns villain and persecutor, there is truly no earthly power with the power to stop it. This series will also examine Bible prophecy, and what is foretold to happen next.

THE MAN OF SIN: THE PAPAL CLAIM TO DIVINITY

By Wings of Liberty • January 18, 2026
As ecumenical dialogue sweeps the planet and the Protestant denominations return to their mother, as Revelation 17 prophesied, we wish to remind the remaining Protestants on the fence of the history of the Reformation: please remember your history, and who you are thinking of going back to. At the heart of the Reformation, is the issue of sola scriptura. The Bible is the Word of God. It is the sole rule of faith. The Papacy has always put itself above the Word of God. Like the serpent of old, it says, “hath God said?”, and insinuates itself between man and God. The Pope “opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Nothing has changed in the Papacy. The change is in Protestantism. Please consider where you are going before it is forever too late.

The Law of Iron

The following remarkable interview occurred this week between Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller and CNN’s Jake Tapper. The discussion involved the capture of Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela, the fate of its enormous resources, and growing imperialistic intentions targeting the island of Greenland.

FAKE MONEY, FAKE SABBATH

By Wings of Liberty • December 21, 2025
FAKE MONEY, FAKE SABBATH Everyone knows it is a crime to print fake money, or to use it, also known as “passing it off”, as legal tender. If you want to go to jail fast, print fake money and give it to your buddies for their trips to 7/11. Why does the government get so bent out of shape if you make your own money? Because that’s their exclusive domain. The Constitution (Article 1, section 8) says that only Congress has the power to print money. And boy are they doing a lot of it! 38 Trillion of it in fact, and counting, and they don’t want any competition from civilians. Yes, if there’s anything left in the Constitution that the federal government actually takes seriously it’s the right to print money! The Bible says that we are to render to Caesar what is Caesar’s – Matthew 22:21. There is no doubt that regulating money is primarily the domain of government. Similar to ancient Rome, it has the faces of it's leaders on it. American money also bears the Great Seal of the United States, featuring the coat of arms on one side, and the so-called Eye of Providence on the other, a symbol which bears uncanny resemblance to the Eye of Horus in the rites of ancient Egypt, as well as the All-Seeing Eye in occult practices. God, the Creator and eternal sovereign of the universe, also has an exclusive domain, and he’s even more jealous about His authority than Caesar. Caesar has been delegated temporary oversight (by God) of civil government while this earth remains. But God has always retained sovereignty over religious matters. His domain is itemized in the first four commandments of the Decalogue, separated and enumerated on a separate table of stone to show unmistakably that this is the Creator’s exclusive domain. As part of humanity’s obligations to the Creator, God declares that the seventh day of the week is His Sabbath, and He blessed it as such. The Sabbath predates the fall of humanity – Genesis 2:1-3. It is the sign of His creative power – Exodus 20:11. It is the sign of His sanctifying power – Exodus 31:13; Hebrews 4:9, 10. The seventh day is “the Sabbath of the Lord thy God” – Exodus 20:10; Mark 2:28. God has exclusive jurisdiction over the Sabbath. It bears the great seal of the Creator – His name – the LORD; His title – Creator; His jurisdiction – heaven and earth – Exodus 20:11. God is far more jealous over His Sabbath than Congress is over money printing. The government will throw you in jail if you help it print money. But the Bible says that those who attempt to change the words of the Most High will be destroyed – Revelation 22:19. The Founding Fathers of America believed in the separation of church and state. But there has arisen new kings today “who know not Joseph”, nor the blessings that Providence bestowed on this great land in the past. The forces which are running America into the ground through debt will also establish a counterfeit Sabbath. Sunday sacredness will be exalted, and passed off to the public as the genuine article in much the same way any common counterfeiter makes fake Benjamins. If Congress jealously guards the right to print money, does it not think the God of the universe will jealously guard His Sabbath from counterfeiters? But that is what Sunday sacredness is – it is a counterfeit. It is the mark of the Papacy, and the sign of its authority. It is the Roman Catholic Papacy which boasts to have changed the law of God – it admits it is a counterfeiter. The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine by Reverend Peter Giermann states the following: “ Question: Which is the Sabbath day? Answer : Saturday is the Sabbath day. Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church in the Council of Laodicea transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.” The Reverend Steven Keenan’s Doctrinal Catechism says similar: “ Question: Have you any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept? Answer: Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day; a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.” There are many indicators which demonstrate that powerful forces are pushing American society toward a union of church and state and the imposition of Sunday rest laws on the populace. Jesuit-educated Erika Kirk, the new president of Turning Point USA, has given an interview where she laments the loss of Sunday blue laws, and has stated that society must be “retrained”. i On November 13, 2025, the Michigan House of Representatives passed House Resolution 222 which officially declares November 23, 2025, as “Christ the King Sunday”. Christian Nationalists today want the same thing Pius XI wanted when he wrote his encyclical Quas Primas in 1925 (which is referenced in the Michigan resolution), and created the original Catholic Feast of Christ the King Sunday. They want 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. ii The White House has issued another press release honoring another Catholic holiday. First it honored Lent, and encouraged Christians to observe Lent, which is a festival entirely devoid of biblical basis. Now it has honored the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. iii The executive branch of government has declared that, “For nearly 250 years, Mary has played a distinct role in our great American story”, and “As we approach 250 years of glorious American Independence, we acknowledge and give thanks, with total gratitude, for Mary’s role in advancing peace, hope, and love in America and beyond our shores.” The attribution of God’s blessing and protection over America to Mary is idolatry, and blasphemy. Papist Jonathan Berry, architect of Project 2025’s Sunday provisions, has been ratified as Solicitor of Labor. The Department of Labor has wasted no time in moving toward a unification of church and state. It is hosting regular prayer services where federal employees are encouraged to pray and sing hymns. iv Berry has stated his intention to restore Sunday sacredness in America and use his civil authority as Solicitor of Labor to punish transgressors of Sunday rest laws. v Sunday laws are coming. A global conversation has begun and it will grow until it becomes the dominant issue on this planet. Everyone on earth will pick a side. On one side is the Creator of the universe, and His pledge to “write His laws in our hearts and in our minds – Jeremiah 31:31-33. To make all things new. He says, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” On the other side is the ecumenical movement, the Papacy, the civil and apostate powers of government, and their false Sabbath, the eminent pagan day of the Sun. You will decide where you stand. ________________________________ i https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2HjvrMaHnlw ii https://www.wingsofliberty.net/michigan-house-of-representatives-pass-resolution-to-establish-papal-holiday iii https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/12/presidential-message-on-the-feast-of-the-immaculate-conception/ iv https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/12/politics/department-of-labor-hosts-first-prayer-service-emulating-regular-pentagon-events v https://www.wingsofliberty.net/copy-of-the-curse-of-church-and-state-part-3-liberty-threatened
