--Rumors of Wars-- "Several state-linked Russian news outlets, including Komsomolskaya Pravda (KP), are warning of a nuclear

war with NATO. The reports claim that the West, including Britain and European countries, may provoke a large-scale war by the end of this decade. These reports feature Russian experts outlining what a confrontation could look like.
The articles state that NATO forces might be ready for combat by the end of the decade. Readers are told that this buildup is part of a strategy to provoke and divide Russia." msn

IN the NEWS - EEKE pushes Sunday in Greece

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2 Peter 2:2

"Whether they know it or not, labor unions are serving the interests of Rome. Rome will use anyone to further its Sunday agenda. While apostate church leaders will seek to justify Sunday-keeping through so-called moral and spiritual support, labor unions perform the dirty work of engaging in chaos, disruptions, and fighting. In Greece, labor unions today are pressuring authorities and employers to keep Sunday work-free.

On January 16, 2025, To Vima, a news media company in Athens, Greece, published an article about how trade unions are calling for Sunday shopping restrictions and are arguing that Sunday store openings violate the fundamental rights of workers.

To Vima published the following:
• “The Working Consumers of Greece (EEKE) is urging consumers to avoid shopping on Sundays as part of a broader effort to restore balance in the retail sector and protect workers’ rights.”
• “According to EEKE, the opening of stores on Sundays creates conditions that favor monopolistic practices, undermining healthy competition and inevitably driving many small and medium-sized businesses to closure.”
• “Additionally, EEKE argued that Sunday openings disrupt personal and family life, violating fundamental labor rights that are both constitutionally guaranteed and the result of hard-fought battles by workers.”
• “In its statement, the Union is urging consumers to support businesses that remain closed on Sundays. Their campaign slogan reads: “Sunday Closed! I Don’t Shop – I Don’t Work!”

It is not a coincidence that labor unions have designated Sunday as the day for workers to have time off for rest, family, and friends. The unions are simply joining the chorus of those calling for Sunday to become the universal day of rest for all people. In other words, this is a public call to increase awareness for Sunday closings."

Creation Moment 4/23/2023 - More OoAM Confusion

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools... Romans 1:22

"Out of Africa model (OoAM) of human evolution is in crisis.

Subsequently, a study by a group of paleoanthropologists, on two fossilized human crania from Greece, reported that the modern-type cranium (Apidima 1), ‘dated’ to around 210 thousand years ago (ka), lived about 40,000 years earlier than the Neandertal-like Apidima 2 cranium. Hence, Homo sapiens appeared in Europe supposedly over 150,000 years earlier than thought. Not giving up on the OoAM altogether, the authors said their “findings support multiple dispersals of early modern humans out of Africa.”

However, the dating of the crania is as confused as the OoAM. The two crania were found embedded in the same breccia, separated by a few inches, yet were ‘dated’ 40,000 years apart! They were initially dated to the same age (over 160 ka), but the difference in morphology led to doubts they were the same age (circular reasoning). Josh Davis quoted co-author Chris Stringer as saying: “When we submitted the first draft of our paper for possible publication, the reviewers were naturally sceptical that there was a modern human fossil from Greece found alongside an early Neandertal fossil, with both of them dating from at least 160,000 years ago.”

According to Stringer, they then “conducted further analyses and

dating work, which produced even more surprises” (i.e. the dating results in our first paragraph).

However, the dating was far from convincing, as described by Lizzie Wade: “Warren Sharp, a uranium dating expert at the University of California, Berkeley, points out that the Apidima 1 samples actually returned dates ranging from more than 300,000 years old to less than 40,000 years old.” 

Wade quotes Sharp as saying “You have this huge spread of apparent ages, and you don’t know if any of them are any good.” Indeed so." CMI

IN the NEWS - Criminal Record for Quoting Scripture

"Genesis 1:27 is very straightforward: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” 

Unlike the gender confusion of our day, God’s design is clear. 

But is saying such a thing “transphobic” or a “hate crime”?

 

Well, one former athlete in Greece, Vassilis Tsiartas, recently “received a [10-month suspended] jail sentence and a fine” for two 2017 social media posts that cited, among other things, God’s design of “Adam and Eve” in response to proposed legislation. He was then sued by the Transgender Support Association, who believe that his sentencing is “particularly important for the transgender community.”

 

This Greek court has ruled that free speech does not apply to Tsiartas’ beliefs based on the Bible.

Instead, those who promote body mutilating surgeries, sterilizing hormones, and radical ideology to children and young adults are free to say whatever they want. 

But those who believe God’s Word, and the simple truth that we’re created male and female, are vilified and punished. 

It’s an upside-down world today where truth is error and error is truth!" AIG

IN the NEWS - Greek Wildfires Bring in Global Help

 ...and fearful sights... Luke 21:11

"Wildfires rampaged through Greek forests for yet another day Saturday, threatening homes and triggering more evacuations a day after hundreds of people were plucked off beaches by ferries in a dramatic overnight rescue.

One volunteer firefighter has died and at least 20 people have been

treated in hospitals. Dozens of fires were burning across the country Saturday, blazes that one official described as “a biblical catastrophe.”
Greece has been baked by its most protracted heatwave in 30 years, with temperatures soaring to 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

Scores of homes, businesses and farms have been burnt over the last week in fires that broke out during Greece’s most protracted and intense heatwave in three decades. The scale of Greece’s wildfires has been breathtaking, with more than 100 breaking out across the country over the past few days. 

In apocalyptic scenes that went into the night, small ferries and other boats evacuated 1,400 people from a seaside village and

beaches on Evia, an island of rugged, forested mountains popular with tourists and campers, after approaching flames cut off other means of escape.

A local official in the Mani region of the Peloponnese estimated the wildfire there had destroyed around 70 per cent of her area.  “It’s a biblical catastrophe. We’re talking about three-quarters of the municipality,” East Mani Deputy Mayor Drakoulakou told state broadcaster ERT, pleading for more water-dropping aircraft.

More than 850 firefighters were working to extinguish the flames
north of Athens, Hardalias said, with Greek forces reinforced by French, Cypriot and Israeli firefighters." Breitbart

IN the NEWS - Greece Joins the List of Government COVID Busybodies

Again--Q: IF you got the jab and believe it works---and IF you wear the Mask (or now the 2 masks you've been told to wear)---what does it matter to you IF someone else does not?

Q: How MIGHT this be a Groundwork being laid for End Times Control over Populations? ...just a thought...

Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, ....

 1 Timothy 5:13 ESV

"Greece has become the latest European country to be hit with mass protests after the government announced the unvaccinated would be banned from visiting bars, restaurants, cinemas and other public places.

Thousands of demonstrators descended on Athens and Thessaloniki, with crowds chanting “Hands off our kids!” ....

All nursing home staff and hospital workers will be mandated to get the vaccine from August 16, while hospital workers also face losing their jobs unless they get the compulsory jab from September.

Teens as young as 15 will also be encouraged to get the vaccine with parental permission, another change that has angered protesters.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis effectively said that the new measures, which go into effect on Friday and will remain in place until the end of August, were a punishment for Greeks enjoying themselves too much and refusing to take the vaccine." SummitNews
