It is time once again to play, Does this mixture of headlines make any sense? As you read the following news items, remember that the embracing of sin (Jeremiah 50:14) coupled with the systematic removal of God (Jeremiah 50:29) will lead to catastrophic judgment upon the Western world (Jeremiah 50:28), particularly the United States (read Isaiah 18, Jeremiah 50-51, & Revelation 18 for an in-depth picture).
Group one–pro sin:
Group two–anti-God:
Group three–just to think about:

A quick look at some news from the realm of state-sponsored and promoted “alternative lifestyles” in the United States and UK:
This last story provides a good jumping off point to see how Christianity is being treated by these same governments. In addition to the aforementioned snub in the so-called “hate crimes” laws, these stories also come from the UK and USA:

I do not talk about this topic too much because most of the “real” persecution of believers does not begin until after the start of the Tribulation, when saints will be beheaded for converting to Christianity (Revelation 20:4). And while we have it easy in the United States, facing only the occasional discrimination, Christians in other parts of the world face death on a daily basis for their faith. Just so we don’t lose sight of what is starting to take place, here is a sampling of headlines from the past week. All except for the first one comes from the United States:
There will come a time when all the Christians and Jews from around the world will face death at the hands of the Antichrist (Daniel 7:21; Matthew 24:9; Revelation 13:7, 20:4; Mark 13:9, plus many others). Stunningly, many will die after being reported to the authories by their own spouses, parents, children, and siblings (Mark 13:12-13; Luke 21:16). That notion becomes very believable when one reads the headlines and realizes that the natural love among families is eroding away. In the past few days we have seen a slew of horrific stories to this affect, such as the mother who broadcast the sexual assault of her 5-year old daughter live on the Internet, and the mom who set her daughter on fire in a voodoo ritual.
Specifically to the United States, America will continue to remove God from society (Isaiah 18:2, 7; Jeremiah 50:11, 24, 29, 31, 32). This will cause God to reign holy judgment upon the land (Jeremiah 50:14, 28, 29; 51:24).

US President Barack Obama has extended benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees. Opposite-sex partners of federal employees, without the benefit of marriage, will not see these new benefits. The President also appointed gay rights activist Kevin Jennings, who wants to mandate pro-gay clubs in school, to the postion of “Safe Schools Czar.”
The government sanctioning of the gay lifestyle, along with the systematic removal of Christianity (Jeremiah 50:11, 24, 29-32), is one of the reasons God sends his judgment upon the United States during the Tribulation (Jeremiah 50-51).

The “alternative lifestyle” agenda has taken center stage in the last month, with some of the more notable examples being the proposed teaching of a “gay curriculum” to five year-old children, the potential “Gay Day” holiday in California (where students will be taught of the “gay legacy”), and the passage of hate crimes legislation that protects practices such as bestiality and pedophilia, while specifically targeting Christian pastors and groups who speak out against such perversions.
Here is a sampling of more news from the “alternative lifestyle” community over the past two weeks:

Against the wishes of parents, California continues to push an agenda of teaching about “alternative” lifestyles to children as young as five years old. Earlier this month we wrote about the proposed “Gay Day” celebration where “Harvey Milk’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender legacy” will be mandatory teaching. Now, the Oakland/San Francisco suburb of Alameda wants these lessons taught 5 year-olds, with no opt-out available for parents who object to the material.
A group of parents in a California school district say they are being bullied by school administrators into accepting a new curriculum that addresses bullying, respect and acceptance — and that includes compulsory lessons about the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community that will be taught to children as young as 5 years old.
The parents from the Unified School District in Alameda, a suburb of San Francisco and Oakland, say these issues are best learned at home and most definitely are not age-appropriate for elementary school children.
The parents are also angry that they will not be allowed to keep their children out of the classes.
“I believe these children are far too young to be learning about what these issues mean,” said Alaina Stewart, who has three children who attend elementary school in Alameda. “These are adult issues and they are being thrust upon the children.”
But the school board says otherwise, and its attorneys say that if the curriculum is adopted, the parents will have no legal right to remove their children from class when the lessons are being taught.

A battle is brewing in New Hampshire over the ability of churches to opt-out of participation in gay marriage. The governor wants to protect churches against lawsuits if they refuse to perform same-sex marriage on religious grounds, but he is facing opposition in the House.

The Daily Mail reports that a majority of teen pregnancies in the United Kingdom now end in abortions, with pregnancy rates on the rise. All this despite the government handing out condoms and teaching sex in grade school.
Or perhaps it is because of these things.
Most pregnancies among girls under 18 ended in abortion last year.
Out of around 40,000 pregnancies more than 20,000 were terminated – the first time more had chosen this option than become mothers.
The figure is higher than 2007, when it just hit 50 per cent, and consistent with a steady upwards trend since the Government started its controversial Teenage Pregnancy Strategy in 1999.
Figures out on May 21 will also show that for the first time the number of abortions performed on women living in England and Wales topped 200,000.
The teenage pregnancy strategy, which has cost taxpayers more than £300million, was meant to halve the number of conceptions among girls under 18 in England between 1998 and 2010.
Ministers have tried to slash teenage pregnancies by freely handing out contraceptives and expanding sex education.
But the fall in pregnancy rates has not met Government targets, and in 2007 the rate actually rose.
Teenage pregnancy rates are now higher than they were in 1995. Pregnancies among girls under 16 – below the age of consent – are also at the highest level since 1998.
Critics labelled the Government scheme the ‘Teenage Abortion Strategy’.
