On the Streets of Babylon: Vampires spotted in the Pulpits

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..

Come out of her, My people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems "Vampires" were spotted in the Pulpits on the Streets of Babylon....

"A Catholic priest in Germany is facing criticism for leading a

Halloween-themed prayer service on Halloween while dressed as Dracula, complete with a half-open coffin and a fog machine.
Father Michael Korell, the vicar of the parish, held the service for around 50 people inside the funeral chapel of St. George’s Cemetery. The event included prayers and hymns.
He told the French newspaper the Tribune Chrétienne that his goal was to “reach out to those who no longer have a connection with the Church” and that “I wanted to make it clear that we don’t have to be afraid of death.”
He later clarified that no Mass took place and that he wore his clerical clothing underneath the Dracula cape."

Savonarola: Attempt to Force the Chess Board in this Great Controversy?

Q: Was Girolamo Savonarola the "John the Baptist" of the 15th century OR a False Prophet?
A: Well we know he was a False Prophet because, if we test his claims against Scripture, we know he was either a liar or being misled by

the opponent of God.
For example, he claimed he had visions from God and visits from angels with messages. But we know when he claimed that in one vision from God he was shown the wicked lost burning in hell with their tongues torn out.
But Scripture tells us the dead are dead [For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing... Ecclesiastes 9:5] and the wicked dead will remain DEAD until the 2nd resurrection after the millennium [But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. Revelation 20:5,13 NLT].
Another example of being a False Prophet would be his claim that he would no longer read the Bible for his theology but rather get his "light" through "Divine light" that would come to him. Sometimes from the virgin Mary [though Mary is DEAD in the grave and therefore can't communicate].

Q: Was Lucifer, who knew something like the Reformation was around the corner in the flow of history [And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Daniel 11:33] trying to get a leg up by creating a False Reformation based on truth and error?
Q: In other words, was he trying to force the chess board of this Great Controversy between him and God?
Q: Or was Savonarola just a mentally unstable man who sought personal political power?

"Girolamo Savonarola was born at Ferrara, the son of Niccolò Savonarola and Elena Bonaccorsi. He was educated by his paternal grandfather, Michele, a celebrated doctor and a man of rigid religious principles.
Savonarola arrived in Florence in 1490 already renowned for his

learning, yet it was his preaching that catapulted him into the center of Florentine reform and politics. Often from the cathedral in Florence, Savonarola would preach to thousands in the vernacular with powerful imagery and simple language.
His influential preaching, along with some remarkable events outside Savonarola’s control — the French king’s surprise invasion into Italy along with a devastating disease — suddenly elevated his influence in Florence. Equally important in his ascent as the city’s prophetic voice was the pervasive belief among ordinary people of an imminent, momentous upheaval related to the end times, especially as the year 1500 approached.
He began to claim that God was sending him visions of a kingly warrior who would cross the Alps and conquer Italy. In late summer of 1494, Charles VIII of France invaded Italy, seeking to conquer the kingdom of Naples. His arrival appeared to confirm the friar's prophecies.
It also placed Florence in peril. Piero de' Medici, the city's new leader, had refused to let Charles pass through Florence's territory. The king responded by threatening to sack the city. To preserve peace, Piero had to surrender important fortresses and towns within Florence and agree to pay Charles a large sum of money. The news of this bargain led to an uprising in Florence and forced the Medici family to flee the city. Charles entered Florence on November 17 and demanded that the Florentines restore the Medici to power. However, after an anti-French riot and a series of talks with Savonarola, Charles agreed to leave the city in exchange for a smaller payment than that promised him by Piero.
He predicted that Florence would join forces with the king of France

to lead the world into an age of universal Christianity and peace. Florence would be the center of a Christian empire, a New Jerusalem for the new age. In addition to his rousing sermons, Savonarola and his supporters staged processions and "bonfires of the vanities," in which citizens publicly burned books, paintings, clothing, playing cards, and other items the friar viewed as immoral.
In 1492 Girolamo Savonarola warned of "the Sword of the Lord over the earth quickly and soon" and envisioned terrible tribulations to Rome.
From 1494 to 1498, Savonarola fomented dramatic political and social change. His preaching became far more prophetic. Emphasizing Christ’s return, he called Florence to live as a new Jerusalem.
He closed the taverns and outlawed gambling, singing, and dancing.
He turned crimes like sodomy, previously merely punishable by fine, into capital offenses for which the sentence was death.
Public burnings on the Piazza della Signoria became common.
Savonarola was sending shock troops of children known as the "White Shirts" marauding across the city, the gangs forcing their way into people's homes at will and hauling off anything considered

unholy or corrupting—fancy clothes, jewels, and makeup, fine furnishings and other extravagances, musical instruments, works of ancient (i.e. pagan) writers and poets, any art that was not of a strictly religious nature, and any other display of distinctly un-pious ostentation and wealth—in short, "vanities."
They carted the lot of it to the center of town, heaped it all into a huge pile on Piazza della Signoria, and set a torch to the pile. They called this the "bonfire of the vanities."
Even the artist Botticelli—who, up until then, was most famous for his allegorical scenes out of pagan myth—got caught up in the religious fervor and is said to have tossed several of his paintings onto the fire to fuel the flames.
Girolamo Savonarola began to write poetry of an apocalyptic bent, notably "On the Ruin of the World" and "On the Ruin of the Church", in which he singled out the papal court at Rome.
He organized the youth of Florence to model and incite for reform, precipitating several “Bonfires of Vanities” in protest against the annual Mardi Gras Carnival. These youths led citizens in destroying instruments of temptation like carnival masks, playing cards, fine dresses, makeup, mirrors, and even musical instruments. The last of these occurred in the Piazza della Signoria at the center of Florence on February 7, 1497, just months before Pope Alexander VI excommunicated Savonarola.
In early 1498 one of Savonarola's chief followers accepted a challenge to test the truth of the friar's claims to divine favor. The test would be a trial by fire. If the flames did not kill Savonarola, it would prove that he was truly favored by God. On the day scheduled for the event, however, both sides argued so long about the details of the trial that rain eventually put out the flames. People took this as a sign of God's disapproval, and the city guard dispersed the angry crowd. The next day a mob attacked San Marco. The guard stepped in once again, arresting Savonarola and his two closest deputies.

They dragged Savonarola to the very same spot on the Piazza della Signoria where he had put the torch to the city's vanities, and sent him to his eternal reward atop a bonfire of their own.

On May 23, 1498, the three were hanged and their bodies burned.
The ashes were tossed into the Arno."

Creation Moment 11/24/2025 - Scientists have expressed skepticism.....

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Job 42:3

"Scientists have expressed skepticism about the explanatory power of neo-Darwinism. 

For example, a 2008 conference, commonly named The Altenberg

16, convened sixteen scientists who discussed fundamental problems with the standard neo-Darwinian model, noting that the current model cannot explain the “arrival of the fittest.” 

A follow-up conference in 2016 at the Royal Society argued that 

--the modern synthesis focuses only on the variation and maintenance of biological features that already exist 

--but fails to explain how those novel characters, behaviors, and body plans originate.

All this makes it very hard to justify the position of theistic evolutionists, who claim God uses evolution to create life. 

In reality, the more we learn about the complexity and design of life, the less adequate neo-Darwinism is as an explanation."

IN the NEWS - Brazil's Plain of Dura

"The city of Crato, in northeastern Brazil, has just inaugurated the world’s largest statue dedicated to Mary. 

The astonishing monument towers 54 meters (177 feet) into the sky

—taller than Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro (98 feet). Standing at the height of a 15-story building, this colossal structure dominates the landscape and can be seen from miles away in every direction. This mega-monument is one of the tallest religious statues in the world. Its sheer size and towering presence are designed to inspire deep Marian devotion from the people and to establish this location as a major destination to venerate Mary.

What is happening in Brazil is precisely what King Nebuchadnezzar did on the plain of Dura. In Daniel 3, the Babylonian king erected an enormous golden image—90 feet tall—a tower designed to dominate the horizon and capture the loyalty, reverence, and obedience of the people. It was a monument to apostasy, demanding worship and allegiance under threat of death. By erecting this image that exalted human religious tradition above the authority of God, Nebuchadnezzar sought to define and unify the faith of the entire world under his command.

The Church upholds four major Marian doctrines: the Immaculate Conception, her bodily Assumption into heaven, her exaltation as the “Queen of Heaven,” and her intercessory role on behalf of sinners before God.

However, these doctrines stand in clear contradiction to the plain teachings of Scripture. The Bible affirms that Jesus Christ alone is the “one mediator between God and men” (1 Timothy 2:5). " AdventMessenger

The prophecies & the blissful MILLENNIUM

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Revelation 20:5

"The prophecies show that 

--the King should pass through the grave to His throne, 

--and that His kingdom also must itself rise from the ashes of this world, 

--and that His citizens also must arise from the dust, 

--to reach the inheritance of the exalted Son of God in His heavenly kingdom. 

--Under the ancient dispensation, every sacrifice on holy altars slain

pointed to His death, and, 

--under the present dispensation, every communion of His holy supper commemorates it, until He comes in the dispensation of the fullness of times, to receive the inheritance of the purchased possession, and to give it to the chosen seed, the saints in light, and to bruise Satan under their feet. 

Then is the blissful MILLENNIUM."

Creation Moment 11/22/2025 - Epistemology

"Scripture calls Christians to practice discernment by taking steps to

discriminate between “the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error” (1 John 4:6).

“What is the basis of truth?”

When George Barna asked Americans this question in 2020, 15% said they didn’t know. Another 15% believed the answer lay in science, while others appealed to “inner certainty” (16%), tradition (5%), social consensus (4%), or God (42%). The remaining 5% claimed truth does not exist, although how they know this claim is true remains unclear.

By asking this question, Barna was probing Americans’

epistemology. Derived from the Greek term episteme (ἐπιστήμη), meaning knowledge, epistemology is a branch of philosophy that theorizes about knowledge and belief. The Blackwell Guide to Epistemology describes three key epistemological questions: “What is knowledge? What can we know? And how can we know what we know?” In other words, how can we justify our beliefs?

The divided responses to Barna’s survey question highlight our culture’s need for epistemic clarity. In response, this two-part article series introduces how a Biblical worldview (rather than human reasoning) yields the best basis for justified beliefs—the most intelligible epistemological framework.

Two types of knowledge include:Knowledge by acquaintance—having direct familiarity with a person, thing, or mental state.
Propositional knowledge—knowing about someone or something by means of a true proposition, or statement.
Anderson and Welty argue that the existence of logic requires the existence of God. To build this case, they first state that the laws of logic are necessary truths because “we cannot imagine a possible world” in which a law such as noncontradiction is false. In reply, one atheistic philosopher objects that perhaps we can imagine a possible world where at least one contradiction exists in an abstract (rather than concrete) realm. But can we in fact imagine this scenario coherently? 

The presence of a single contradiction in one possible world would contradict a strict law of noncontradiction. This outcome would render the strict law of noncontradiction false with reference to a certain possible world only by presupposing some version of the law’s truth (at least in its ability to judge itself) with reference to the same world. The argument against the necessity of noncontradiction thus serves to underscore the importance of noncontradiction as a generally applicable concept in every possible world.

Van Til elaborates by asking, “Anyhow why should one ‘rational being’ who had become rational by Chance, seek to lord it over another ‘rational being’ who also had become rational by Chance? In a world of Chance there can be no manner of self-identification and there can be no system of truth.”

A similar dilemma arises from considering that, for worldviews based on man’s word, humans inductively piece together beliefs based on information derived from sense perception. Using information from our senses to try discerning whether we can trust the information from our senses represents arbitrarily circular reasoning.

The trouble is that any argument based on naturalism must borrow concepts such as logic, knowledge, and morality to be intelligible. These arguments apply the laws of logic to contend that we can have warranted knowledge of the tenets of naturalism and that we ought to believe these arguments. But naturalism provides no philosophical foundation for the warranted use of these concepts. Theism, however, does."

IN the NEWS - Well, well, well......

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Luke 21:25

Well so much for the "climate change" myth of rising oceans DUE to Melting Polar Caps......

"The Earth has lurched in a direction no one expected, tilting just enough to unsettle scientists who track the quiet movements beneath our feet.

Scientists discovered that billions of tons of groundwater removed for farming and cities pushed the axis of Earth more than thirty inches from its original course. According to Smithsonian Magazine, the water pumped from deep reservoirs eventually spilled into the oceans, shifting the balance of the entire planet in a measurable and troubling way. The Earth moved because we misplaced its weight.
Such a forceful global nudge from human activity was once unthinkable.
Researchers learned that the drift can no longer be explained by melting ice sheets or natural shifts alone. Human driven groundwater extraction has surpassed nature itself as the leading force behind this tilt, as stated by a study summarized in Nature.
The water drained from land surged into the oceans, making them heavier and unevenly distributed. That imbalance pulled on the axis, adding another twist to the planet’s tilt.
The oceans do not fill evenly. They swell in certain regions more than others and that swelling tugs at the planet like a shifting weight on a slowly turning wheel. The deeper the seas rise the more strain the Earth endures in its attempt to find balance again.
Axial shifts influence how sunlight strikes the world, distributing warmth unevenly across regions. Over time even small changes can alter weather patterns, storm behavior and seasonal timing."

IN the NEWS - Vance on UFO's

Q: IF we ever got "visited" by a SUPPOSED Alien, how could one tell if it's from Lucifer or God?
A:To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20
----Of course there are NO actual UFO's of "Aliens" that will visit us. ANYTHING that ever did would be posing as one from the OPPONENT of GOD.

"Vice President JD Vance floated the possibility in recent days that what some humans see as so-called extraterrestrials and UFOs could be supernatural and even demonic in nature.

During an interview last week with journalist Miranda Devine, Vance expressed interest in using his access to classified material while vice president to uncover the truth behind potential alien intelligence, which he claimed could be angelic in nature.

When Devine cut in to note Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently expressed her belief that aliens could be real, Vance was reluctant to completely agree. However, he suggested that there could be room for such a belief within the framework of his Roman Catholic worldview.

"I wouldn't say that I do or don't believe [in aliens]," he said. "I mean, I'm a big believer that there are things out there that we can't explain, and so if another person sees an alien, maybe I see an angel or a demon."

"So I'm a big believer that there are like spiritual forces working on the physical world that a lot of us don't see and a lot of us don't understand and a lot of us don't appreciate," he continued.

"But, you know, is it aliens or is it our guardian angel? Or is it aliens, or is it a not-so-guardian force that doesn't care about us; or, in fact, actively wishes us harm? I don't know the answer to that question."

Creation Moment 11/21/2025 - The yoyo universe nonsense

Yes, they knew God, 

but they wouldn’t worship Him as God 

or even give Him thanks. 

And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. 

As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 

Romans 1:21 NLT

"Oscillating (yoyo) universe ideas were popularized by atheists like the late Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov, solely to avoid the notion of a beginning, with its implications of a Creator. 

But the laws of thermodynamics undercut that argument, as each one of the hypothetical cycles would exhaust more and more usable energy. 

This means every cycle would be larger and longer than the previous one, so looking back in time there would be smaller and smaller cycles. 

So the multicycle model could have an infinite future, but can only have a finite past. 

Also, there is far too little mass to stop expansion and allow cycling in the first place, and no known mechanism would allow a bounce back after a hypothetical ‘big crunch’."

BLOOD & SOIL: First Green Fascists - The Nazis

The Old Green Fascism---Same as the New Green Fascism

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. 

Ecclesiastes 1:9 NIV

"A strain of eco-fascism was also found in Nazi ideology. As one of the most explicit modern accounts of eco-fascism, Richard Walter Darre coined the Nazi slogan “blood and soil”, meaning to capture a

mystical link with their homeland, making it their duty to take care of the land.

Nazi leadership ardently championed renewable energy, and institutionalized organic farming and land use planning on a level unmatched by any nation past or present. These environmental policies was actually grounded in the same racist worldview that shaped the Holocaust.

In the latter half of the nineteenth century in Germany, the volkisch movement emerged—a vision of social change that united profoundly racist and, specifically, antisemitic thinking with nature mysticism. 

As historian Peter Staudenmaier writes in “Fascist Ecology: The ‘Green Wing’ of the Nazi Party and its Historical Antecedents,” “in the face of the very real dislocations brought on by the triumph of industrial capitalism and national unification, volkisch thinkers preached a return to the land, to the simplicity and wholeness of a life attuned to nature’s purity.” He explains that this movement “refused to locate the sources of alienation, rootlessness, and environmental destruction in social structures, laying the blame instead to rationalism, cosmopolitanism, and urban civilization. The stand-in for all of these was the age-old object of peasant hatred and middle-class resentment: the Jews.”

In 1867, German zoologist Ernst Haeckel coined the term “ecology” and began to develop it as a scientific discipline—one “concerned

with the interrelationship of organisms and their environments.” 

He was also an avowed supporter of racial eugenics and was one of the primary proponents of Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theories in the German-speaking world—theories used to legitimize the notion of nordic racial superiority as scientific fact rather than mere opinion. These ideals would have a significant impact on the thought and political aspirations of the leaders of the National Socialist German Workers Party, known in the English-speaking world as the Nazi Party. And, as Staudenmaier argues, the emergence of modern ecology was a key ingredient that helped to give the volkisch movement’s racism scientific credibility and, thus, scalability at the level of government.

Lebensraum—the plan for securing “living space” for the German people through conquest—became a primary justification for invading Poland and orchestrating mass violence against Jews and other groups of people. This horrifying program was bolstered by the Darwinian notion that species must compete for dominance in a world of finite natural resources such as food. In keeping with this emphasis on maximizing space and optimizing Germans’ access to nourishment, the Nazis would also establish the first nature preserves in Europe and an unprecedented level of government support for ecologically sound farming methods.

One of the most striking aspects of this history is the role that young, ecologically minded Germans played in the success of the Nazi

Blood & Soil

Party. As Staudenmaier writes, the German youth movement in this period was the key cultural force that popularized volkisch ideas amongst the general public. The youth culture rejected civic engagement outright and embraced a communal, back-to-the-land lifestyle instead. They perceived the social and ecological challenges of the day as too great to be resolved through the political process.

Two nineteenth century figures exemplify this ominous conjunction: Ernst Moritz Arndt and Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl.
Arndt was also dedicated to the cause of the peasantry, which lead

him to a concern for the welfare of the land itself. Historians of German environmentalism mention him as the earliest example of ‘ecological’ thinking in the modern sense. His remarkable 1815 article On the Care and Conservation of Forests, written at the dawn of industrialization in Central Europe, rails against shortsighted exploitation of woodlands and soil, condemning deforestation and its economic causes.

Arndt’s environmentalism, however, was inextricably bound up with virulently xenophobic nationalism. His eloquent and prescient appeals for ecological sensitivity were couched always in terms of the well-being of the German soil and the German people, and his repeated lunatic polemics against miscegenation, demands for teutonic racial purity, and epithets against the French, Slavs, and Jews marked every aspect of his thought.

Riehl, a student of Arndt, further developed this sinister tradition. In some respects his ‘green’ streak went significantly deeper than Arndt’s; presaging certain tendencies in recent environmental activism, his 1853 essay Field and Forest ended with a call to fight for “the rights of wilderness.” But even here nationalist pathos set the tone: “We must save the forest, not only so that our ovens do not become cold in winter, but also so that the pulse of life of the people continues to beat warm and joyfully, so that Germany remains German.”

These latter two fixations matured in the second half of the nineteenth century in the context of the völkisch movement, a powerful cultural disposition and social tendency which united ethnocentric populism with nature mysticism.

Haeckel was also the chief popularizer of Darwin and evolutionary theory for the German-speaking world, and developed a peculiar sort of social darwinist philosophy he called ‘monism.’ The German Monist League he founded combined scientifically based ecological holism with völkisch social views. Haeckel believed in nordic racial superiority, strenuously opposed race mixing and enthusiastically supported racial eugenics. His fervent nationalism became fanatical with the onset of World War I, and he fulminated in antisemitic tones against the post-war Council Republic in Bavaria.

Near the end of his life he joined the Thule Society, a secret, radical  organization which played a key role in the establishment of the Nazi movement.

Raoul Francé, founding member of the Monist League, elaborated so-called Lebensgesetze, ‘laws of life’ through which the natural order determines the social order. He opposed racial mixing, for example, as “unnatural.” Francé is acclaimed by contemporary ecofascists as a pioneer of the ecology movement.

Francé’s colleague Ludwig Woltmann, another student of Haeckel, insisted on a biological interpretation for all societal phenomena, from cultural attitudes to economic arrangements. He stressed the supposed connection between environmental purity and ‘racial’ purity:

The National Socialist “religion of nature,” as one historian has described it, was a volatile admixture of primeval teutonic nature mysticism, pseudo-scientific ecology, irrationalist anti-humanism, and a mythology of racial salvation through a return to the land. Its predominant themes were ‘natural order,’ organicist holism and denigration of humanity: “Throughout the writings, not only of Hitler, but of most Nazi ideologues, one can discern a fundamental deprecation of humans vis-à-vis nature, and, as a logical corollary to this, an attack upon human efforts to master nature.”

Echoing Haeckel and the Monists, Mein Kampf announces: “When people attempt to rebel against the iron logic of nature, they come into conflict with the very same principles to which they owe their existence as human beings. Their actions against nature must lead to their own downfall.”

Even in the midst of war, Nazi leaders maintained their commitment to ecological ideals which were, for them, an essential element of racial rejuvenation. In December 1942, Himmler released a decree “On the Treatment of the Land in the Eastern Territories,” referring to the newly annexed portions of Poland. It read in part:

"The peasant of our racial stock has always carefully endeavored to increase the natural powers of the soil, plants, and animals, and to preserve the balance of the whole of nature. For him, respect for divine creation is the measure of all culture. If, therefore, the new Lebensräume (living spaces) are to become a homeland for our settlers, the planned arrangement of the landscape to keep it close to nature is a decisive prerequisite. It is one of the bases for fortifying the German Volk."

This passage recapitulates almost all of the tropes comprised by classical ecofascist ideology:
“The unity of blood and soil must be restored,” proclaimed Richard Walther Darré in 1930. This infamous phrase denoted a quasi-mystical connection between ‘blood’ (the race or Volk) and ‘soil’ (the

land and the natural environment) specific to Germanic peoples and absent, for example, among Celts and Slavs. For the enthusiasts of Blut und Boden, the Jews especially were a rootless, wandering people, incapable of any true relationship with the land. German blood, in other words, engendered an exclusive claim to the sacred German soil. While the term “blood and soil” had been circulating in völkisch circles since at least the Wilhelmine era, it was Darré who first popularized it as a slogan and then enshrined it as a guiding principle of Nazi thought.

Darré worked to install environmentally sensitive principles as the very basis of the Third Reich’s agricultural policy. Darré’s most important innovation was the introduction on a large scale of organic farming methods, significantly labeled “lebensgesetzliche Landbauweise,” or farming according to the laws of life. The term points up yet again the natural order ideology which underlies so much ecological thought.

The campaign to institutionalize organic farming encompassed tens of thousands of smallholdings and estates across Germany. It met with considerable resistance from other members of the Nazi hierarchy, above all Backe and Göring. But Darré, with the help of Hess and others, was able to sustain the policy until his forced resignation in 1942 (an event which had little to do with his environmentalist leanings). And these efforts in no sense represented merely Darré’s personal predilections; as the standard history of German agricultural policy points out, Hitler and Himmler “were in complete sympathy with these ideas.”

Darré has sometimes been regarded as a forerunner of the contemporary Green movement. His biographer, in fact, once referred to him as the “father of the Greens.” Her book Blood and Soil, undoubtedly the best single source on Darré in either German or English, consistently downplays the virulently fascist elements in his thinking, portraying him instead as a misguided agrarian radical. 

This grave error in judgment indicates the powerfully disorienting pull of an ‘ecological’ aura. 

Darré’s published writings alone, dating back to the early twenties, are enough to indict him as a rabidly racist and jingoist ideologue particularly prone to a vulgar and hateful antisemitism (he spoke of Jews, revealingly, as “weeds”).

The “green wing” of the NSDAP was not a group of innocents, confused and manipulated idealists, or reformers from within; they were conscious promoters and executors of a vile program explicitly dedicated to inhuman racist violence, massive political repression and worldwide military domination. Their ‘ecological’ involvements, far from offsetting these fundamental commitments, deepened and radicalized them. In the end, their configuration of environmental politics was directly and substantially responsible for organized mass murder.

No aspect of the Nazi project can be properly understood without examining its implication in the holocaust. Here, too, ecological

arguments played a crucially malevolent role. Not only did the “green wing” refurbish the sanguine antisemitism of traditional reactionary ecology; it catalyzed a whole new outburst of lurid racist fantasies of organic inviolability and political revenge. The confluence of anti-humanist dogma with a fetishization of natural ‘purity’ provided not merely a rationale but an incentive for the Third Reich’s most heinous crimes. Its insidious appeal unleashed murderous energies previously untapped. Finally, the displacement of any social analysis of environmental destruction in favor of mystical ecology served as an integral component in the preparation of the final solution.

The record of fascist ecology shows that under the right conditions such an orientation can quickly lead to barbarism."

SDA Issues: ADRA Sells out.......

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Galatians 1:6

"A remarkable phenomenon is occurring today in Adventism. 

Under the leadership of Pope Leo XIV, churches, economists, environmentalists, policymakers, and governments are working together to heal the earth.

Adventists, through the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), have formally joined COP30—the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference taking place from November 10 to 21, 2025. 

This major global gathering has brought together heads of state, government officials, UN agencies, Vatican officials, multinational corporations, civil society groups, and religious organizations to negotiate and coordinate international climate policy. 

By participating in COP30, ADRA stands alongside some of the world’s most influential political, religious, and economic leaders, contributing to discussions that aim to reshape global climate action, sustainability frameworks, and long-term environmental strategies in alignment with the agendas being advanced by the Vatican and the United Nations.

ADRA has recently published a report proudly highlighting its participation in COP30, presenting its involvement at the United Nations Climate Conference as an extension of the Seventh-day Adventist mission. In the report, ADRA emphasizes that engaging with global climate policymakers is part of their commitment to safeguarding humanity’s “common home,” language that imitates the environmental narratives promoted by papal encyclicals and UN mandates.

On November 5, 2025, ADRA published the following about COP30:
• “As the world prepares to gather in Belém, Brazil, for COP30, ADRA calls upon our global church family to join us in prayer, reflection, and action for creation, for justice, and for those most affected by the degeneration of the creation that has been gifted to us as stewards.” 
• “The world is changing fast, and biodiversity loss, environmental degradation and immense changes in weather are no longer distant threats. They are here, shaping the lives of farmers who can no

longer predict their harvests, families who lose their homes to floods, and children whose futures are clouded by hunger and uncertainty.” 
• “At COP30, ADRA represents this spirit of faith in action—Our Call: Fund. Protect. Partner.” 
• “Communities on the frontlines of climate change are not waiting for others to act—they are already adapting, innovating, and caring for creation. But they cannot do it alone. We call on governments and institutions to provide direct, accessible, and fair climate finance—resources that reach local actors, faith-based organizations, and NGOs working hand in hand with communities. Faith in action means investing where it matters most.”
• “Love moves us to act with courage and hope—to heal, restore, and protect creation, our common home.”
• “As UN Climate Chief Simon Stiell recently said, ‘If we look past the noise, the facts show a world aligning with the Paris Agreement.’ Across our network, ADRA offices are already contributing to this transformation—reducing emissions, building resilience of local communities, and amplifying local leadership. Every tree planted, every livelihood restored, every life protected is part of this global story of faith in action.”
• “Together for Creation—The Seventh-day Adventist Church has always upheld stewardship, compassion, and justice as expressions of our faith. As COP30 unfolds in the heart of the Amazon—a place where creation still sings its most powerful hymn—let us renew our commitment to care for the earth and for one another. May our prayers inspire action. May our faith move mountains. May our love heal creation. Justice. Compassion. Love. These are not just words—they are our calling.”

At the head of this global environmental effort stands Pope Leo XIV, the climate change savior and warrior, who is pushing Laudato Si’, which includes a Sunday rest provision for the environment. 

If Rome can encourage the world to declare a global climate crisis, it can rally nations behind a unifying cause and urge governments to enact sweeping climate laws. For generations, the papacy has sought to forge a new social, religious, and political movement capable of uniting humanity under its moral leadership. Today, it has found that opportunity within the modern environmental agenda. 

And now, through ADRA’s participation in COP30, Seventh-day Adventists have entered into full collaboration with this growing movement.

The Jesuit Order has launched its “Faith in Action at COP30” initiative, urging people everywhere to unite in a “shared calling to care for our common home.” As part of this effort, they have introduced a comprehensive “Religious Life for Climate Justice” program, centered on the theme of “Turning Hope into Action.” Drawing direct inspiration from Pope Francis and Laudato Si’, the Jesuits are positioning themselves at the forefront of global faith-based climate advocacy, working to bring diverse religious communities together and “amplify the call” for climate justice.

Once again, we are witnessing a tragic distortion of our faith. A rising number of Seventh-day Adventists are setting aside the warnings of Revelation 13, 14, 17, and 18 and instead reshaping their evangelism around climate activism, Catholic social teachings, and secular ideologies. 

The prophetic message is being replaced

 with a counterfeit mission,

and the distinct voice God entrusted to His remnant people is being silenced in the name of environmental unity.

The question remains: 

Q: why can’t our people discern what is happening before their very eyes?"

Creation Moment 11/20/2025 - Alpha and Omega

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Revelation 22:13

"Skeptics ask, “If God created the universe, then who created God?” But God, by definition, is the uncreated Creator of the universe, so

the question “Who created God?” is illogical.

A more sophisticated questioner might ask, “If the universe needs a cause, then why doesn’t God need a cause? And if God doesn’t need a cause, why should the universe need a cause?” 

Consider the following: 

l Everything which has a beginning has a cause.

2 The universe has a beginning. 

3 Therefore the universe has a cause. 

The universe requires a cause because it had a beginning. 

God, unlike the universe, had no beginning, so does not need a cause."

Erroneous views about Christ -- Then & Now

"Erroneous views about Jesus prevailed in Jesus’ day. 

When Jesus asked His disciples “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” they answered that “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets” (16:13–14). 

The people were altogether confused by the Person of Jesus. 

Those from His hometown wondered, “Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” (13:55–56). 

Others asked Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us openly” (John 10:24). 

At the interrogation before the Sanhedrin, the rulers demanded, “If You are the Christ, tell us” (Luke 22:67). 

Similarly, Pilate questioned Jesus, “Are You the King of the Jews?” (Matt 27:11; Mark 15:2). 

Though seeing the power of God in Jesus, the people refused to acknowledge Jesus as the promised Messiah (cf. Matt 13:57; John 10:25; Luke 22:67). 

Jesus, however, underscored the eternal significance of recognizing and acknowledging Him as the Son of God. He declared that He is the focus of all of Scripture: “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that bear witness about Me” (John 5:39). 

In John 14:6, He proclaimed that salvation is found in Him alone, saying, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me” (cf. John 3:18; Rom 10:9). 

For this reason, Peter’s answer to Jesus’ question was of utmost importance. Peter exclaimed, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matt 16:16). 
Scholars have wrestled with the concept of “Son of Man.” 

Ehrman has argued that this title depicts Jesus as a legendary figure, a historical individual that His followers embellished later. 

Ehrman contends that while Jesus simply used the phrase as an apocalyptic prophet (cf. Ezek 2:1), His disciples later utilized it to argue for His divinity. 

Quarles rightly counters that because Jesus claimed to be the Son of Man, recognized His messiahship, and declared His divinity, the title Son of Man was not imbued with divine reference later on but intended to be as such from the beginning."
