One of the signs of the end of times is when good is turned into evil and evil becomes good. What was once regarded as good and true is now being pushed to the margins of society. Bible-believing Christians who adhere to the literal word of God will be viewed as dangerous extremists. And since government agencies cannot regulate churches because our US Constitution calls for the separation of church and state, government agencies are now funding churches to help identify and report the so-called extreme and radical elements to the authorities.
The Gateway Pundit reported the following on September 11, 2023:
• “The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced on September 6 that $20 million in federal grants (your tax dollars) will be handed out to 34 organizations to ‘prevent targeted violence and terrorism’.” [1]
• “The $20 million is going to universities, behavioral and mental-health providers, youth services organizations, schools, churches and faith leaders, and state law enforcement agencies. Their job will be to identify political dissidents and foster interventions among those Americans considered to be ‘going down a path toward violence’.” [1]
• “Whether it’s Covid and vaccines, the war in Ukraine, immigration, the Second Amendment, LGBTQ ideology and child-gender confusion, or the issue of protecting life in the womb, you are no longer allowed to hold dissenting opinions and voice them publicly in America. If you do, your own government will take note and consider you a potential ‘violent extremist’ and terrorist.” [1]
Let this news sink in because it sounds so unbelievable, but it is beginning to happen. Instead of going after real criminals, some in law enforcement would rather target Christians who do not support the LGBT+ agenda, abortion, euthanasia, drag queen shows for elementary school, and a host of other anti-biblical ideologies.
Our churches and schools are being weaponized by law enforcement to be used against our people. It is hard to imagine that a fragile little old lady who reads her Bible and has the burden to share the gospel will now attract the attention of our federal agencies. It won’t be long before law enforcement will begin flagging people of faith who believe that there are just two genders, male and female, distinguishable by biology. It is already happening in some places. Religious institutions are subjected to discrimination because they must either accept transgender students or forfeit privileges that are only available to those who support the LGBT+ agenda. [2]
All you have to do to automatically qualify as a hate group is disagree with the radical liberal agenda, and federal law enforcement agencies will put you on a list of the extremists that must be monitored and investigated, just like communist countries do. The truth is that since the beginning, persecution has always been a part of true biblical beliefs.
“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.” John 15:19, 20.
“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew 5:10-12.
For a variety of reasons, persecution of the faithful has always taken place throughout history, and it still does in some parts of the world today. A time of trouble like never before is coming (Daniel 12:1). The good news is that we can always find comfort and hope in God’s word.
“For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” Hebrews 13:5, 6.

Our own people will turn on us and betray us for money. The churches did this in Nazi Germany too.
Modern-day Judas has already taken the money to betray us.
Those churches who accepted this money have sold their soul to the state. They don’t belong to Christ.
The strangest thing about the government and people who involve themselves in this type of activity, is that they do not see themselves as Nazi’s for doing so. Or do they?
Check out “Clergy Response Team”. Do not trust even your own pastor, everybody nowadays is suspicious. A few years ago I emailed a certain online pastor (he was in FL at the time) to address this & never heard back from him even though he’d replied on other matters. I trust no one.
More government money for the churches? Are they not already getting enough?
Soon enough, they’ll begin breaking down the doors of people who adhere to Bible truth.
