Today will see thousands of people, friends and families once more coming together to mark the tremendous milestone of 50 years of our capital\u2019s Pride.<\/em>\u2019&nbsp; Peter Simpson expressed his thoughts on the Prime Minister\u2019s speech: \u2018<em>The Prime Minister might just as well have said: \u201cThe teachings of the Bible and the opinions of UK citizens who are Christians are of absolutely no consequence to me or my government. I publicly repudiate their outmoded morality, which thankfully has been superseded by the enlightened progressiveness which now characterises modern Britain.<\/em>\u201d\u2019&nbsp; Was it simply coincidence that within a comparatively short space of time, the Prime Minister was forced to resign his post?&nbsp; Was it the last straw for God? &nbsp;Has God given us a pictorial prophecy for all the nation to see, of how He will cast aside a rebellious Britain?&nbsp; Boris\u2019 betrayal by his Tory colleagues also reveals the depth of intrigue, and the murky minds and manoeuvrings of his \u2018friends\u2019 and colleagues in power.&nbsp; British society is arrogant towards God.&nbsp; It was, to all accounts, after a National Prayer Breakfast<a href=\"#_edn1\">[i]<\/a> that Sajid Javid, a Muslim (He is reported to have said that he \u201cpractises no religion\u201d, and that he is pro-Israel, and that he \u201clives in a primarily Christian household\u201d), decided to hand in his resignation; that move seemed to set the ball rolling, as other resignations were to follow.&nbsp; Javid put himself forward for the office of Prime Minister, but perhaps not surprisingly he fell by the wayside.&nbsp; Boris himself has little or no moral or spiritual compass.&nbsp; He simply goes wherever the wind is blowing him at the time.&nbsp; Watching this whole process of the demise of Boris, and seeing this whole episode unfold, no-one should accept the job of Prime Minister without first engaging a gang of personal body-guards, when one\u2019s back is particularly vulnerable.&nbsp; Passing fish shops back in the day you could often see a sign saying \u201cfrying tonight.\u201d&nbsp; There should be such a sign over Westminster, when the national leader falls from grace.&nbsp; Like the white smoke going up for a new pope, the sign could go up each time a Prime Minister is cut down \u2013 which appears to be a regular happening in these modern times.&nbsp; Other dignitaries present at the Pride parade were those of the Labour Party, Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London), Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner, all giving enthusiastic support and encouragement.&nbsp; They can\u2019t tell you what a woman is, but they know an awful lot about Pride!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to the small group of believers that were simply there to speak of Jesus, a TV reporter said that \u201creligious bigotry is still alive\u201d<a href=\"#_edn2\">[ii]<\/a>.&nbsp; This proved Boris\u2019 statement to be untrue, since this small group of believers were not at all free to love who they wanted to love.&nbsp; They were not free to love or to speak about Jesus the Saviour, without being subjected to scorn and verbal abuse. &nbsp;They had eggs and drink thrown at them and more besides, simply because they wanted to speak about the love of God for humankind.&nbsp; God was not allowed to love who He wanted to love.&nbsp; They were accused of being \u201cfilled with hatred.\u201d This is the mantra of the age.&nbsp; It is the mantra of the world, the devil and the flesh against all who love the Messiah.&nbsp; The Pride bigots were full of pride, and they were full of pride because they are trying to hide from the all-seeing One.&nbsp; They tell themselves how much better they are than others, to make themselves feel better about themselves.&nbsp; They need Pride events to maintain the deception in their own lives, as well as to attempt to convince others how wonderful and free they are.&nbsp; What flows from Pride is venom, not love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a situation we are stuck with.&nbsp; While I am writing this the Conservative Party are voting for a new leader and Prime Minister.&nbsp; The question has come up again, \u201cWhat is a woman?\u201d&nbsp; Many politicians are finding this simple question very difficult to answer, even among those vying to be Prime Minister.&nbsp; There is much talk about integrity<a href=\"#_edn3\">[iii]<\/a>, but very little evidence of it in Westminster.&nbsp; Even the Anglican bishops are unable to define what a woman is.&nbsp; They must struggle with Revelation 12 and Ch.17, as well as Genesis 2:4-3:24.&nbsp; Pandoras Box has been opened and the world is contaminated by what has been let loose.&nbsp; What is happening is that unelected people of great influence are gaining control of national governments.&nbsp; This is happening in various ways; some of the more obvious ones are through deception in: Finance and Banking. &nbsp;Wojtek Paprota refers to himself as a transhumanism believer.\u2019 There is a growing movement that wants humans to use technology to evolve beyond their physical limitations.&nbsp; His company is selling contactless bank-cards that can be implanted into humans<a href=\"#_edn4\">[iv]<\/a>.&nbsp; I am sure we will hear more about this in the not-too-distant future.&nbsp; Illegal Immigration\/People Smuggling continues on an almost daily basis, so it is easy for us not to notice and to dismiss the significance of what is really occurring.&nbsp; Next is Racism \u2013 which leads into a fake history of slavery and the blight of being white; and the demands for financial restitution and compensation for historical sins, real or imagined.&nbsp; Anthropogenic Climate Change, which is a hoax with an agenda.&nbsp; This hoax leads into many others, electricity, gas, oil, food, freedom of movement, freedom of thought, transport, education, religion, history, health, medicine, vaccines, pandemics, law-enforcement, justice, Net-Zero and so on.&nbsp; World governments are surrendering sovereignty by stealth.&nbsp; It is hardly noticeable to many, but is obvious to those who watch and pray.&nbsp; Abraham Lincoln put it succinctly: \u201cDemocracy is \u2018government by the people, for the people, and of the people.\u2019\u201d&nbsp; Unfortunately, we now have a society that call evil good, and good evil.&nbsp; For society to govern rightly it must first of all embrace the right values; values that include cherishing truth, critical thinking, respect for other viewpoints, individual rights and appreciation that every individual is of equal worth.&nbsp; Western values and democracy are diminishing as we first surrendered to \u201cCultural Marxism\u201d as Steve Maltz termed it,<a href=\"#_edn5\">[v]<\/a>before turning to the \u201cWoke culture.\u201d&nbsp; Apart from the \u2018[in]famous few\u2019 nations, China, Russia, North Korea, there are not so many obvious dictators in the world (That doesn\u2019t mean that they are not there).&nbsp; We don\u2019t see quite as many violent seizures of power as we used to.&nbsp; Military coups are not as common as they once were.&nbsp; Most breakdowns of democracy nowadays are caused by elected governments \u2013 elected autocrats who maintain a form or veneer of democracy, while depriving it of substance and power.&nbsp; Alarm bells are not sounded because there are no obvious give-away signs that governments have crossed the red line into dictatorship.&nbsp; It just slips in quietly, over time, without pomp or ceremony.&nbsp; This can happen in churches too, which have developed more often than not into mini democracies.&nbsp; The all-laughing, joking, friendly pastor, cajoles the church into doing what he wants.&nbsp; Those who denounce government or church leadership abuse, may be dismissed as exaggerating or crying wolf. &nbsp;Democracy\u2019s erosion is, for many, \u201calmost imperceptible.\u201d&nbsp; Yet, in plain sight and in various towns<a href=\"#_edn6\">[vi]<\/a>, police have largely ignored the plight of young white girls that were\/are sexually savaged by Muslim men. &nbsp;There has been no condemnation from the Imams or mosques, and the UK government likewise ignored the situation. &nbsp;The government have also ignored those that suffered from serious Covid vaccine side-affects.&nbsp; This is abominable in a democracy, and in a land that has had the Gospel and known both blessing and deliverance by the hand of God.&nbsp; Having said all of that, there is an allegation that a Tory (named as Dougie Smith) made an aggressive, threatening phone-call to Boris Johnson, on his private phone in February, telling Boris to resign, and that if he refused, they would get him anyway\u2026which they did, in July.&nbsp; There are calls for an investigation.&nbsp; The Mother of all Parliaments is becoming, not only seedy, but coup-like.&nbsp; Europe beckons?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we see, the UK is spiritually and morally deficient in politics and in religion.&nbsp; There will be a great cost for our moral and spiritual infidelity.&nbsp; Britain is not alone; the USA is in a bad way.&nbsp; The percentage of Americans that believe the Bible is the literal Word of God has dropped from 24% in 2017, to 20% in 2022.&nbsp; There is a new high of 29% of those who believe the Bible is a collection of fables, and legends.&nbsp; There is a decline in overall spirituality in the USA adult population.&nbsp; That once great nation is a shadow of its former self, as are the politics and leadership.&nbsp; There is no shame, only pride.&nbsp; There is not one day put aside for the nation to give thanks to God.&nbsp; There are only days of Pride and the celebration of debauchery.&nbsp; Earlier this year, Europe took a whole week to celebrate Gay Pride.&nbsp; God sent a leader and deliverer to Israel that they did not deserve, Moses.&nbsp; God sent a leader and Deliverer to the world that we did not deserve \u2013 His Son, Jesus Christ.&nbsp; We are now in an era when God is sending leaders that we <em>do<\/em> deserve, and they, like Korah, will lead the nations, and those Christians who have fallen under the spell of the fake rainbow, to destruction.&nbsp; The world doesn\u2019t only have the leaders it deserves, also developing, just as it did with Korah &amp; Co (Numbers 16:32), is the world conditions it deserves.&nbsp; Church denominations that are deserting God and His Word will also get the leaders they deserve.&nbsp; They will be those who look back with longing and who want to re-join the cabbage patch that the world enjoys so much.&nbsp; At the right time, the final world leader the earth-dwellers all deserve and long for will arrive on the scene.&nbsp; Antichrist will give the people the [ungodly] desires of their hearts\u2026for a short time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRighteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people\u201d (Proverbs 14:34).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blessings and shalom,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malcolm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[16.07.2022]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\">[i]<\/a> https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/watch?t=2943&amp;v=CQB-UMqD5s0&amp;feature=youtu.be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref2\">[ii]<\/a> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R7cuUeWhX8A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref3\">[iii]<\/a> See \u201cHashkama: The Body Snatchers, Perverse Politics, and an Accommodating Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref4\">[iv]<\/a> https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/money\/cardsloans\/article-11005783\/Would-implant-tiny-debit-card-chip-hand.html<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref5\">[v]<\/a> See \u201cInto the Lions Den\u201d by Steve Maltz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref6\">[vi]<\/a> https:\/\/www.scotsman.com\/news\/opinion\/columnists\/sexual-abuse-of-women-and-girls-and-protection-for-male-perpetrators-will-persist-until-gender-equality-is-achieved-susan-dalgety-3769697<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pastor Peter Simpson, Minister of Penn Free Methodist Church attended the 50th Annual Gay Pride parade in central London earlier this year.&nbsp;
