COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n A reader in Canada sent me a link to the following: Alberta\u2019s NDP government has made the next move against religious schools in the province\u2014and this time, they\u2019ve dropped any pretence that their ongoing attacks on religious schools are anything short of crass bigotry. At the end of August, Education Minister David Eggen\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0that funding would be pulled from Christian schools that refused to accept Gay-Straight Alliance Clubs.\u00a0 …<\/p>\n The NDP attacks on schools began as a radical progressive government forcing LGBT ideology into communities that did not want it, and have now metastasized into a blunt declaration by the government that schools cannot govern themselves according to their Christian beliefs. \u201cDiversity\u201d must be respected, by which the NDP means that a diverse array of religious schools must accept progressive ideology and accede to their demands or face further attacks from the government. This is no longer simply about Gay Straight Alliance clubs\u2014the NDP is telling Christian schools that they cannot teach Christian doctrine, cannot state their belief that the Bible is God\u2019s Word, cannot respect the primary role of parents in the education process, and cannot state that the biblical worldview is true.<\/p>\n And, most tellingly, the NDP had a problem with one school noting that God\u2019s authority superseded man\u2019s authority\u2014because\u00a0they do not believe that to be true<\/em>. They believe that\u00a0they<\/em>\u00a0are the final authority on\u00a0everything<\/em>, which is why they demanded that a Christian school remove acknowledgement of God\u2019s sovereignty from their mission statement.\u00a0https:\/\/thebridgehead.ca\/2018\/09\/28\/albertas-ndp-says-christian-school-cannot-state-that-gods-authority-supersedes-human-authority\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n While Canada has professed to have respect for religious views in general, and Christian ones in particular, its government officials do not accept scripture.<\/span><\/p>\n On two occasions, when told by leaders with governmental connections to not teach certain matters, notice what the position of the apostles was:<\/p>\n 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:19-21)<\/p>\n 29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29)<\/p>\n Canadian government officials have a history of promoting the LGBT agenda over scripture–so we now see one more example.<\/p>\n Since a court decision in 2002, Canada has restricted freedom to quote and cite the Bible (watch Canadian censoring of the Bible<\/a>). It also passed a motion limiting giving one’s view of Islam (http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2017-03-24\/canada-passes-blasphemy-bill-silence-critics-islam<\/a>).<\/p>\n A while back, local Canadian officials prohibited a Protestant school from being able to teach certain scriptures from the Bible. Here is an account of this from Canada:<\/p>\n Our Constitution has religion hard-wired into it \u2014 the word Catholic is in our Constitution four times, specifically to protect religious education. That\u2019s part of the grand bargain of Canada, uniting French Canada and English Canada.<\/p>\n It\u2019s shocking, but it\u2019s not surprising. Christianity has been driven out of the public square everywhere in Canada. But surely this is a new low \u2014 Christianity is actually being banned in a Christian school.<\/strong><\/p>\n Government bureaucrats would never dream of telling Muslim schools they couldn\u2019t teach passages from the Koran \u2014 even ones that call for the murder of infidels and apostates. But banning the Bible is now official school board policy.<\/p>\n And, not surprisingly, the media and the political class are silent. Even supposedly Christian or conservative politicians are keeping their heads down \u2014 they don\u2019t want to be attacked by the leftist mob at the CBC.<\/p>\n The school board is digging in. They\u2019re closing ranks around Laurie Skori the chair. They\u2019re bullying the school. David Eggen, the NDP education minister, he hates Christian schools, wants to shut them down, has taken steps to shut others down. He\u2019s an anti-Christian bigot who doesn\u2019t seem upset about this censorship in the slightest. 06\/19\/17 https:\/\/news.google.com\/news\/section?hl=en&ned=us&q=%22Battle+River+School+board%22<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, Canadian officials are often not acting in a manner consistent with what Canada was supposed to stand for.<\/p>\n More and more, in Canada, as well as other lands (e.g. Germany approves \u2018same-sex marriage\u2019 and sets fines for Facebook, etc. to crack down on \u2018hate speech\u2019<\/a>) we are seeing governments taking steps to censor and push aspects of the LGBTQ agenda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Jesus warned:<\/p>\n 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. (Matthew 24:12-13)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Officials in the Canadian and other governments around the world do not respect the laws of the Bible and push their own morality–which is often biblically immoral.<\/p>\n Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n Canada in Prophecy: What Does Bible Prophecy, Catholic Prophecy, and other Predictions Suggest About the Future of Canada?<\/a> There are prophecies that suggest involvement with Canada. And many are not positive about its future. A sermon of related interest is also available: Canada in Prophecy<\/a>. Christian Repentance<\/a> Do you know what repentance is?

\nCanadian censoring of the Bible<\/a> 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? This is a video.
\nPreparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word<\/a> What is the ‘short work’ of Romans 9:28? Who is preparing for it? Here is a link to a related video sermon titled: The Short Work<\/a>.
\nShould the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work?<\/a> 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<\/a> and Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a> expect from lower level leaders? A related sermon is available titled Priority of the Philadelphia Work<\/a>.

\nThe Philadelphia Church Era<\/a> was predominant circa 1933 A.D. to 1986 A.D. The old Radio Church of God and old Worldwide Church of God, now the remnant of that era is basically the most faithful in the Church of God, like who hold to the beliefs and practices of the Continuing<\/a><\/em> Church of God<\/a>.
\nThe Laodicean Church Era <\/a>has been predominant circa 1986 A.D. to present. The Laodiceans are non-Philadelphians who mainly descended from the old WCG or its offshoots. They do not properly understand the work or biblical prophecies and will face the Great Tribulation<\/a> if they do not repent. One video of related interest is 17 Laodicean Errors in Prophecy<\/a>.
\nAnglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel<\/a> Are the Americans, Canadians, English, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Saxon (non-Dutch) Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph?

\nLeading the Final Phase of the Work<\/a> Matthew 24:14 teaches “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 ” will be fulfilled and RCG is not the group doing this. Who is leading the final phase of the work? What did Herbert Armstrong and the old WCG teach about that and about prophets? Does Bob Thiel meet the criteria that the Bible and the old WCG set? What is the proof? What has the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> been doing? This is a sermonette length video.
\nWho is the King of the North?<\/a> Is there one? Do biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies for the Great Monarch point to the same leader? Should he be followed? Who will be the King of the North discussed in Daniel 11? Is a nuclear attack prophesied to happen to the English-speaking peoples of the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand? When do the 1335 days, 1290 days, and 1260 days (the time, times, and half a time) of Daniel 12 begin? When does the Bible show that economic collapse will affect the United States? In the Spanish language check out \u00bfQui\u00e9n es el Rey del Norte?<\/a> Here is a link to a video titled: The Future King of the North<\/a>.
\nInternet Control, Famine of the Word, and 666<\/a> On October 1, 2016, the USA officially relinquished control over the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), despite objections from certain political leaders and former military officials. Might this lead to more censorship, imposition on non-biblical ‘community standards,’ and loss of first amendment rights? Could this transfer of control have any prophetic ramifications? Will the internet be a factor in the ‘short work’ of Romans 9:28 and the coming ‘famine of the word’ that the Prophet Amos warned about? Will internet control be something that the 666 power will have? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters and more in this video.
\nUSA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses<\/a> Can you point to scriptures, like Daniel 11:39, that point to the USA in the 21st century? This article does. A related sermon is titled: Do these 7 prophesies point to the end of the USA?<\/a>
\nWho is the King of the West?<\/a> Why is there no Final End-Time King of the West in Bible Prophecy past Daniel 11:39? Is the United States the King of the West? Here is a version in the Spanish language: \u00bfQui\u00e9n es el Rey del Occidente? \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no hay un Rey del Occidente en la profec\u00eda del tiempo del fin?
