[A]. INTRODUCTION

[This I want to say to American Christians – the main section of this article is not American-based, but Australian, but please don’t ignore it because of that. The “disease” we have will soon be yours also. Please read through.]

As you read this, the terrible thing of which I speak is in progress.)

The homosexual lobbies are powerful and in very high places, and very well financed. I want to write about this, but I realize so much is happening that we can’t get the full story and can often accept only what we can obtain from credible outlets.

I know this sodomite behavior is in every place, but Australia is going out of its way to adopt and legislate for the practice, so those who don’t agree are ostracized and denied jobs. That is how serious it has become. Many homosexuals are now going under the name “the Pride.”

Australia, with maybe no more than 1% of born-again Christians, has been adopting every type of deviant behavior, which has infiltrated the education system. When the Christian base is low, then the salt of the earth is lacking, and foulness will increase. Make no mistake about this – the homosexual lobby is hateful of Christians, and the GAY movements oppose Christians and are trying to legislate against them.

The irony is that all that is biblical in sexuality and marriage, etc., has been overthrown, and what’s perverse has replaced it. You will not get organizations and government agencies that support homosexuality ever wanting to uphold any Christian principles on these issues. In Australia, the homosexual lobby is fighting like mad to quash any endeavor to establish freedom of religion and personal freedoms. They want them removed. It is all satanic and as foul as was Sodom and Gomorrah.

[B]. THE FOOTBALL CODES

In Australia, football in all three codes (soccer would make 4) is god! The football leagues have come out in support of homosexuality and GAY Pride. Look what that means:

Reported in the Daily Mail, February 16, 2022

“In the NRL (National Rugby League)… seven Manly Sea Eagles players sat out a key match in the lead-up to the finals [last year] after the club opted to wear rainbow-striped pride jerseys without notifying the squad. John Aloiai, Tolutau Koula, Haumole Olakau’atu, Jason Saab, Josh Schuster, Toafofoa Sipley and Christian Tuipulotu all refused to wear the jersey, citing religious reasons for their decision.”

These brave men are Christians from Melanesian and Polynesian nations of the South Pacific, and they have jeopardized their careers for their Christian stand. They refused to support homosexuality. This is the mandate coming – bow your knee to the homosexual god or face the consequences. All over, we now see this militant mandating; in football and elsewhere.

Also Reported in the Daily Mail, February 16, 2023:

Outrage after six-year-olds told they must wear ‘pride shirts’ to play soccer at half-time of an A-League game

• A-League pride round held later this month
• Kids will play a half-time game
• To take the field, they must wear pride T-shirts

Parents of primary school-age children have been told their kids are required to wear pride t-shirts if they want to play in an A-League half-time game.

The game is taking place during the A-League’s inaugural Pride Celebration round held between February 24-26, with a follow-up round on March 4 in New Zealand.

The marquee game of the round is between Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory at Melbourne’s AAMI Park on February 26 – when the children will take the field during the break.”

Two years ago, Israel Folau from Fiji, a wonderful Christian, the best Rugby Union player in Australia and one of the best in the world, was sacked because on a social media platform, he posted this verse – 1Corinthians 6:9-10 “or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

(But instead of “inherit the kingdom of heaven,” he said “would go to hell.”) For posting something against homosexuality, he was sacked, and it had nothing to do with his workplace. This is the power of the homosexual lobbies in Australia and the assistance all governments are giving to them. Some football teams are wearing rainbow colors on the jerseys in support of the Pride (new term for homosexuality). The plague is growing.

There are reports of discrimination against Christians in the workplace ranging from dismissal to denial of job promotion and loss of benefits if they do not ascribe to Gay Pride. This is mandating worse than Covid was. It can be very subtle; that is, the person is not told, “You will lose promotion if you don’t support Pride,” but he/she knows very well it is for that reason.

Over the past few years, the Australian Parliament had the chance to pass a bill to protect persons of faith against persecution/discrimination for their beliefs (including Moslems too), but the Australian Labor Party and the Greens (communists) refused to support it. They are the ones who hate Christians.

[C]. WHAT IS THIS PRIDE?

The name goes back to Brenda Howard, a bisexual New York activist nicknamed the “Mother of Pride,” who organized the first Pride parade to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall uprising.

What is the Pride symbol? The rainbow flag, created by artist Gilbert Baker in 1978, is widely known as the symbol of Pride. (There is no pride in deviant sin. In fact, they ought to be ashamed.)

I would like to add here that the rainbow is a Christian symbol that has been taken and abused by Satan and the organizers of homosexuality. Noah was given the sign of the rainbow as a seal of the covenant God made with him. Genesis 9:16 “When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” It is also God’s sign in heaven. Revelation 4:3 “and He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance, and there was a rainbow around the throne like an emerald in appearance.”

The following quote comes from CNN Health:

“Pride events are geared toward anyone who feels like their sexual identity falls outside the mainstream – although many straight people join in, too.

LGBT is an acronym meaning lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. The term sometimes is extended to LGBTQ, or even LGBTQIA, to include queer, intersex and asexual groups. Queer is an umbrella term for non-straight people; intersex refers to those whose sex is not clearly defined because of genetic, hormonal or biological differences; and asexual describes those who don’t experience sexual attraction.

These terms may also include gender fluid people or those whose gender identity shifts over time or depending on the situation.”

Of course, you would expect CNN to be in support of this deviant practice.

[D]. A GREAT TRAVESTY IS COMING UPON US

Sydney, Australia, hosts the largest “Gay Rights Madi-Gras” in the world, and up to 600,000 people line the streets of Sydney to see it each year; millions more watch on television. In that Mardi Gras, the most perverse things are on display, and the Lord Jesus and the Christian faith are openly and unashamedly mocked. Not Islam, by the way; only Christianity. We know why Islam would not be mocked!

The following article comes from “Planet Dwellers”:

“During Sydney WorldPride, (February 2023), you can enjoy much-loved Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras events, including the Parade, Party, Fair Day and Laneway – as well as one-off WorldPride events, from major headliners to theatrical performances and community events.

In total, the 17-day celebration will feature over 300 events – including a star-studded opening concert, sizzling Bondi Beach Party, landmark Human Rights Conference, First Nations Gala Concert, huge Pride March across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and big closing concert.”

Also from Condé Nast Traveller:

“In 2023, Sydney is welcoming back travelers with a bang by hosting WorldPride 2023 to mark the 45th anniversary of its first Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras parade and the fifth year of Australian marriage equality in the country. The splashy arrival of WorldPride in the Southern Hemisphere is happening in the New South Wales state capital from February 17 to March 5, and the biennial event is forecasted to be the city’s greatest calendar item of the year – also coinciding with Sydney’s annual one-day Mardi Gras Pride festival. With more than 300 WorldPride discos, exhibits, sports competitions, films, workshops, plays, rallies (and, of course, mind-blowing drag shows), there’s no doubt that for two weeks, Sydney will serve the world queer glory it has never seen.”

THIS IS WHAT IS BEING FORCED ON TO US:

“GAY PRIDE IN Australia = Acknowledgement of country

Sydney WorldPride will take place on the lands of the Gadigal, Cammeraygal, Bidjigal, Darug, [and] Dharawal people, who are the Traditional Custodians of the Sydney Basin.

We pay our Respects to their Elders past and present. Always was Always will be Aboriginal Land.

Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people come from many different clans and communities across Australia & in 2023 will come together as one to celebrate with our global LGBTQIA+ community.”

Homosexuality is being mixed with aboriginal spiritism, both evil practices. In Australia, there will be a vote on “The Voice” (an independent, representative advisory body for First Nations people) later in the year, which will give control to a few aborigines over the rest of us and impose spiritist culture on us. White Australians will be considered invaders whose rights must be taken away.

Things are really bad. The worship of the aborigines is the Rainbow Serpent – no wonder the homosexuals have linked up with them.

[E]. IT COMES FROM THE TOP DOWN

Australia has a reprobate government that is extreme left to Marxist (but that is what the people want – they voted for them!). It has authorized abortion, homosexual marriage, gender distortion, and many other anti-Christian policies.

Reported from CHANNEL 7:

“Anthony Albanese will be the first sitting Australian Prime Minister to march in Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras when he joins the parade for the WorldPride festival.

The prime minister says he will be joined by Foreign Minister Penny Wong, the first openly gay woman in parliament, when he takes part in the event later in February. [Incidentally, Penny Wong is a member of a Uniting Church in Adelaide.]

“I’ll be the first prime minister not to watch the march for Mardi Gras, but to march,” he told a crowd at the official opening of “Pride Square” at Newtown, in Sydney’s inner west.

Albanese said on Saturday his government was committed to removing inequality on the basis of sexuality or people’s identities. “We speak a lot about tolerance – and tolerance is really important – but this is about a step that is way more important than tolerance,” he said.

[What Albanese means by tolerance is that all must accept the Government’s perverse and wicked ways, or you will be canceled out. You have to be tolerant of foul Government decisions.]

[F]. THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN SYDNEY IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH:

So much happening

Sydney WorldPride will incorporate all the beloved Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras events, plus a broad festival offering – across arts, sport, theatre, concerts, parties, First Nations programming, and a human rights conference.

In total, it is expected over 200 events will be staged as part of the broader Sydney WorldPride Festival, to be enjoyed by over 500,000 people.

Official events include:

• Opening and Closing Concerts at The Domain
• A Human Rights Conference
• Pride March across the Sydney Harbour Bridge
• Bondi Beach Party
• First Nations Gala Concert
• Pride Villages, closing streets in the heartland of LGBTQIA+ Sydney – Oxford Street – for street stalls, art and community parties.
• A full arts and culture program
• WorldPride Sports

There’ll also be related side events throughout Greater Sydney and in wider Australia.

There are many more amazing acts rolling out across town, including Pride Villages street-party pop-ups along Oxford Street; Klub Village drag-circus-cabaret parties showcasing First Nations artists; and the open-air Domain Dance Party featuring Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Child. The event will air on ABC TV in Australia.

The ABC is the tax-funded broadcaster for Australia. It has become extremely anti-Christian, hateful in fact, and the promoter of all that is base and filthy and deviant. School children will be dragged into this also. This is an ongoing destruction of a nation, but it must come because of the following:

1. We are in the last days of the Church age.
2. Australia rejected God some time back.
3. Our governments are the most evil ones ever in the nation.
4. People are accepting homosexuality and aboriginal spiritism/Satanism as a way of life.

[G]. SODOM AND GOMORRAH AND THE CHRISTIAN

What happened to Sodom was no freak of nature. It was a divine judgment from God. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will also reap. Sodom sowed homosexuality and reaped overthrow and destruction.

Modern-day sodomites (particularly its leaders and activists) think they are invulnerable and have become arrogant and lord it over “decent” people with their sin. They are intolerant and, in fact, fit many of the descriptions of 2Timothy 3:1-4.

Christians can do nothing about this. Prayer, yes, but can do nothing actively. We ought to realize that this is just another downward step in the last days. In some ways, it is depressing as it creates a gloominess of spirit as in a darkness that can be felt. However, the Christian has the whole resources of God at his disposal. On those, we must rely more and more.

If the Christian churches wanted to have a parade down Sydney streets with some streets being closed off, there would be an emphatic rejection. And that is called “tolerance” by Albanese. The new mandate is here!

For any American who may have read this far, I can only say this. You don’t have a whole national event of such evil being thrust on you, but beware, for I believe it will come knocking on your door sooner than you realize.

How good it would be to have a Ron DeSantis to be in control of my nation Australia, but you know what? I don’t think he would be tolerated here. There is so much wickedness; with only 1% born-again Christians in the nation, he would not be elected. You people in Florida are blessed for now.

Homosexuality is destructive of the human spirit, of dignity, of godliness, of true marriage, and of morality. God has created the whole universe to work correctly with principles and consequences. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction – a law of physics. Homosexuality is the action, and the divine judgment of God will be the reaction.

When will God’s judgment fall? I don’t think it will happen before the Rapture; it may to a certain degree, but I think in the age of grace, it will not. God’s storehouses of wrath are almost filled with the gross sins of the world, and very soon, they will be emptied.

Christian, look up, for your salvation draws VERY close.
