History is Being Rewritten …
December 29, 2021
History is being rewritten, and the past two years are all the evidence we need of such. … the destruction of America … Our republic is no more. We no longer live in the land of the free. And a part of living in a slave state means that the right to free speech has disappeared.
For years now, we’ve witnessed the deplatforming of individuals …
In 2018 we had US Senators saying that the only way “to protect our democracy” was censorship. (When your politicians start calling your republic a democracy, you have a problem.) …
We watched the freedom lovers of the world flock to Parler as their own social media posts on other platforms had been banned. And then Parler was destroyed. …
We’ve got DC talking about how if you’re banned from one social media platform for “spreading misinformation” you should be banned from all social media platforms.
How much further of a logical step is it to say, “No, these people shouldn’t be allowed to say anything online at all.” …
We’ve discussed here before how virtually every country on earth – even the United States – has an internet kill switch, which they can activate at any time to shut down voices of dissent. You can say, “But I’ll just use my ham radio!” but even that’s not safe, as we’ve seen evidence of jamming of such in Cuba.
The point is this: history is being rewritten as truth is being silenced.
Globalists are attempting to silence us, and there are numerous reasons you should be concerned. …
Prepping is being demonized.
Consider as well that Facebook is now giving out warnings in case you know of somebody who is “becoming too prepared” in reference to preppers. https://www.theorganicprepper.com/history-is-being-rewritten/
As far as being prepared goes, check out our video: Physical preparedness for Christians.
As far as censorship goes, we are seeing it on many fronts.
Twice YouTube censored our Bible News Prophecy channel this year, YouTube removed our videos for preaching biblical morality against the LGBTQ+ agenda (see YouTube censors and removes BNP video: Disney’s abominable promotions!) and the options other than fear and vaccine related to COVID-19 (see YouTube censors: COVID-19: Eat what is good!). Others have also been censored by Big Tech for daring to cover certain aspects of these as well.
The government of Canada took steps that some believe will lead to more censorship on matters of biblical morality. Notice the following:
John MacArthur Calls On Pastors To Preach Biblical Sexuality In Defiance Of New Canadian Law That Would ‘Criminalize Evangelism’
December 30, 2021
Canadian pastors are warning that a new “conversion therapy” bill, just passed by parliament, will likely ban them from teaching that homosexuality and transgenderism are sins according to the Bible.
The bill in question, known as C-4, unanimously passed both the House of Commons and the Senate before receiving Royal Assent on December 8, meaning it will officially become Canadian law on Jan 8. On the surface, it’s meant to outlaw “conversion therapies”— that is, psychological treatments intended to re-train same-sex attracted people to prefer the opposite sex and individuals who believe they’re transgender to embrace their biological sex. When approached in a coercive or abusive manner, nearly all mainstream Christian denominations also condemn such therapy.
But critics say C-4’s language is so broad it also effectively bans preaching and teaching based on biblical sexual ethics. For instance, it could prevent counseling that references the many Old and New Testament passages that demonstrate God reserves sex for one man and one woman within the bond of marriage. It could also criminalize any instruction that confirms human beings are created as indelibly male or female from birth (the Bible also condemns men dressing like women and vice versa in verses like Deuteronomy 22:5).
Even further, the bill makes it a crime for parents to provide Christian therapy to their children suffering from gender dysphoria and prevents pastors and other religious leaders from offering biblical counseling or advice to same-sex attracted individuals who desire to obey God’s commands to repent from the sin of homosexual practices. Violations carry a penalty of up to five years in prison.
In response, John MacArthur, longtime senior pastor of Grace Community Church in Los Angeles, is asking for ministers across the U.S. to join him in preaching about God’s standard for sexuality on Jan 16. MacArthur’s statement, issued Dec. 28, calls for a show of solidarity that will “put the Canadian and the U.S. governments on notice that they have attacked the Word of God.” https://harbingersdaily.com/john-macarthur-calls-on-pastors-to-preach-biblical-sexuality-in-defiance-of-new-canadian-law-that-would-criminalize-evangelism/
The Bible says to:
1 Cry aloud, spare not;
Lift up your voice like a trumpet;
Tell My people their transgression,
And the house of Jacob their sins. (Isaiah 58:1, NKJV throughout, unless otherwise noted)
That is partially why within a few days of the US Supreme Court ruling in favor of homosexual ‘marriage,’ we put out the following video back in 2015:
What does the Bible really teach about homosexuality and various parts of the LGBTIQ agenda? Are Protestant theologians like the Episcopal Priest Susan Russell or Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu correct about their views on Christianity and the homosexual agenda? Dr. Thiel answers ten FAQs that one of them wrote, plus addresses other statements that some who claim to be Christian leaders have advocated about homosexuality. He deals with what the Bible really teaches about homosexuality and whether the Bible teaches any risks associated with the homosexual agenda. Dr. Thiel also mentions certain health/disease issues that homosexuals/bisexuals are more susceptible for. Christians need to realize that the Bible, not compromised theologians, teach about aspects of the LGBTIQ agenda.
Here is a link to the this video sermon: What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality?
As far as Canada goes, C-4 is not the first time Canadian laws have gone against biblical morality.
Certain Canadian government officials have prohibited quoting scriptures that condemn various sexual sins. Related to that we put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
15:57
In 2017, Lauri Skori of the Battle River School board told a religious school in Alberta, Canada that it could not teach/read certain portions of the Bible. In 2002, a court in Canada ruled against one who referred to certain scriptures that some homosexuals objected to. In 2017, there was “An Act to Amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and Criminal Code” related to those who wish to be considered transgendered. Government officials in Canada and elsewhere have been ruling against the Bible. Is any of this prophesied? Will this get worse? What was the prophet Amos inspired to write?
Here is a link to our video: Canadian censoring of the Bible.
The Bible warns against not only engaging in sexual immorality, but also approving it:
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man — and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:20-32)
The world is not benefiting from homosexuality or the transgender agenda.
Can anything like what is happening in Canada happen in the USA?
Supposedly not as here is what the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution states:
6th Amendment
These rights are given to all men or women under trial for any sort of wrongdoing. They establish the “innocent until proven guilty” mantra that is present in the United States legal system.
Yet on this point, the USA has been changing. Federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Internal Revenue Service long ago put the burden of proof of innocent on the accused–despite the 6th amendment.
The Biden-Harris Administration is pushing in the censorship direction. Related to that, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Biden-Harris & Hate Speech
Joe Biden has stated he would create a task force to deal with online threats and extremism. What does the first amendment, part of the Bill of Rights, to the US Constitution say? Is the Biden-Harris team committed to “advance LGBTQ+ equality in America”? Has the Biden-Harris campaign posted that giving more religious freedom is “hate against LGBTQ+ individuals”? What is the so-called “Equality Act” all about? Could Kamala Harris be more strident about this than even Joe Biden? Has the Biden-Harris teams appointed Richard Stengel to help deal with speech and communications and has Stengel called for the elimination of more aspects of free speech? Might he consider it wrong to quote scriptures that might be considered as “insults” by those opposed to biblical sexual morality? What about Canada’s position on some of this? Are various ones in governmental positions suggesting banning at least parts of the Bible (including those that show homosexuals can change)? Is believing the New Testament considered to be a bigger problem of prejudice than racial views? Does Big Tech (like YouTube) rely more on their ‘community standards” instead of the Bible? Is a famine of the word coming according to Amos and might that involve the internet? Should we call out sins, but be wise as to how, when, and where according to scripture? Where will the fake news ultimately lead to per 1 Thessalonians 5:2? Are Harris-Biden views promoting hate against those who hold to aspects of biblical morality?
Here is a link to the video: Biden-Harris & Hate Speech.
No church I am aware of teaches their congregants to hate LGBTQ+ people. Yet, the Biden-Harris plan has determined that it is ‘hate’ to not go along with their view of sexual morality. They do not truly believe in religious freedom–they want to control religion.
Of course, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not the only USA leaders pushing this. A few years ago, something was proposed in California that looked to try to do that. Related to that, we put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Could we see a ban of the Holy Bible in North America? Have there been partial bans proposed and enforced by government officials in Canada? Do any USA politicians consider any biblical teachings as fraudulent and hence banning them is NOT a violation of the 1st amendment to the Constitution of the USA? Are there risks associated with AB 2943? Have politicians like Hillary Clinton and California Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi called for long-held religious beliefs to change and “evolve with the times”? What about Jude 1:3 and 2 Timothy 3:14? Are there biblical prophecies about not being able to hear the word of God? Might we see more restrictions on explaining teachings of the Bible on the Internet and other forms of media? What are some of the verses that various government people do not want made public? Dr. Thiel provides facts on these issues and more.
Here is a link: Banning the Bible?
Many various government officials and those in Big Tech hate aspects of biblical morality and want to stop it.
YouTube uses terms like “community standards” to try to cover up its biases and censorship.
Years ago, I warned that more censorship was coming.
Why?
Well, the New Testament records that Jesus said:
4 … the night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4, NKJV)
4… the night cometh, when no man can work (John 9:4 KJV)
In an October 23, 1980 co-worker letter, the late WCG Pastor General Herbert Armstrong wrote about that:
The Bible warns us the time is just ahead when NO MAN CAN WORK—in the Lord’s Work.
In a November 22, 1982 co-worker letter, Herbert Armstrong further wrote:
… brethren and co-workers, the prophesied Great Tribulation (nuclear World War III) will start soon after the European unification. That means OUR WORK OF SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE FINISHED! We have not now much more time. Soon shall come a FAMINE of hearing the Word of the Lord (Amos 8:11). God says, work while it is day, for the night is coming when no man can work – in the Work of God! Nothing else is important in our lives, now, but this all-important Work of God. (http://cog-ff.com/html/pcomments_07_04_08.html, viewed 10/03/13)
Yes, the Bible tells of a time that will come when the word of God will not be found. And that would seem to be because it will be taken off the internet. In the 21st century, the internet is accessed by people in every country, and thus some type of internet restriction/suspension/site removal is coming. Some has already occurred.
More stifling of religious speech will happen.
The prophet Amos was inspired to record the following:
11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
But shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)
But, despite the coming famine of the word of God, please understand that according to Jesus, Matthew 24:14 will be fulfilled BEFORE the full ‘famine of the word’ happens:
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14)
After the Gospel of the Kingdom of God has sufficiently reached the world the end comes and the Beast will rise up (Matthew 24:14-22, Revelation 13) and more totalitarian controls will be put in place.
Censorship and surveillance are increasing.
More speech restrictions, censorship. and persecutions are coming (cf. Revelation 13; Amos 8:11-12).

If so, have you responded as a Philadelphian Christian should?

Should the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work? Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul and Herbert W. Armstrong expect from lower level leaders? Two related sermons are available The Work per HWA and the Bible and Priority of the Philadelphia Work.
Preparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word What is the ‘short work’ of Romans 9:28? Who is preparing for it? Will Philadelphian Christians instruct many in the end times?

22 items to prophetically watch in 2022 Much is happening. Dr. Thiel points to 22 items to watch (cf. Mark 13:37) in this article. Here is a link a related video: 22 items to watch in 2022.
Internet Censorship and Prophecy Are concerns about internet censorship limited to nations such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. But what about the USA, Canada, and Germany? What about the European Union? What about internet media companies such as Facebook, Google, YouTube, or email services like MailChimp? Has the attempt to control information been made by various ones over the centuries? Was the New Testament affected by it? What about the church throughout the centuries? Has the Bible already been partially censored? Which Bible prophecies point to coming Internet censorship? What about the Book of Amos? What about the coming 666 Beast and final Antichrist? Is there anything that can be done about this? Should Philadelphian Christians be working on anything now? Will preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God vs. a highly media-supported alternative lead to a ‘famine of the word’? More internet censorship is coming as various statements in the Bible support.
The Spanish Inquisition and Early Protestant Persecutions Was the Church of Rome really responsible for this? What happened? Here is a link to a related video sermon: The Past and Future Inquisition.
Persecutions by Church and State This article documents some that have occurred against those associated with the COGs and some prophesied to occur. Will those with the cross be the persecutors or the persecuted–this article has the shocking answer. There is also a YouTube video sermon you can watch: The Coming Persecution of the Church. Here is information in the Spanish language: Persecuciones de la Iglesia y el Estado.
Orwell’s 1984 by 2024? In 1949, the late George Orwell wrote a disturbing book about a totalitarian government called “nineteen-eighty four.” Despite laws that are supposed to protect freedom of speech and religion, we are seeing governments taking steps consistent with those that George Orwell warned against. We are also seeing this in the media, academia, and in private companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. With the advent of technology, totalitarianism beyond what Orwell wrote is possible. Does the Bible teach the coming a totalitarian state similar to George Orwell’s? What about the Antichrist and 666? Will things get worse? What is the solution? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more in this video.
