This image from the Olympics is a clear example of Satan’s bait, designed to provoke Christians into responding in the flesh with wrath, vengeance, and resentment.
As Christians, we must recognize this for what it is: a trap set by Satan to draw us away from the teachings of Christ.
When we let anger and bitterness take hold, we fall into the enemy’s hands.
It took me so long to see the same spirit stirring within my heart after years of focusing on the evil of everyone else, and I now see it stirring within the hearts of many Christians today.
It’s like Jesus warned about in Matthew 24:12-13, that “because of the increase of wickedness the hearts of most will grow cold, but the one who endures until the end will be saved.”
I believe that all this anger, wrath, and desire for vengeance stirring right now is ultimately leading to something significant—the great deception that has been brewing for quite some time.
This will lead many into a self-righteous, overzealous, and misguided war against Babylon, who reigns over the kings of the Earth, the same enemy the beast destroys. (Revelation 17:16)
When people develop a mob mentality and turn to vengeance, it always results in the death of the innocent.
Look at the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Dark Ages.
Prideful, self-righteous, misguided zeal will be responsible for the death of the true saints—those who are truly faithful in Christ, guard their hearts, and withstand the enemy’s tactics, because they’ll be seen as traitors and lumped in with the overt darkness.
As John 16:2 warns, “The time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.”
There’s a reason why God warned us against taking vengeance for ourselves, reminding us that vengeance is His alone (Romans 12:19).
We are called to endure patiently, demonstrating the fruits of the Spirit as Christ commanded, by loving and serving our neighbors.
Our actions should draw others to the gospel, making them wonder what makes us so different.
Unfortunately, this is not the reality for many Christians today.
The culture war unfolding is a flesh-led territorial war over this fallen world, rather than the true spiritual war the Apostle Paul described—a fight against the flesh, humbling ourselves before the Lord, and recognizing our own deep spiritual sin and fallen nature.
There’s nothing wrong with calling out the evil in the unbelieving world, but it must be coupled with a genuine, loving call for repentance and turning from their ways.
We must remember that judgment is not ours to deliver; it is for God to execute in His timing.
When Christ returns, He will deliver judgment upon the nations.
Those who remain faithful to Him, following His path, will be the saints who are given dominion and authority over the nations that survive the tribulation.
However, many people desire this power now.
This impatience, stubbornness, and pride drive the deception of the Antichrist and the strong delusion, leading many professing Christians toward destruction and the prophesied falling away.
They always mock Christ.
Not Buddah
Not Muhammad
Not the pantheon of gay pagan gods
Definitely not Judaism
They hate the light because it exposes their wickedness.
“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first." John 15:18
All eyes on Christians in Nigeria who are murdered, kidnapped and raped by Boko Haram.
2023: 8K Christians were killed in Nigeria.
Since beginning of this year hundreds have been killed and kidnapped.
“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.”
Mark 8:36-37

Bishop Mar Mari raised up the crucifix & the stabber’s switchblade failed to deploy. The assailant paused in bewilderment and looked at his malfunctioning knife before continuing his failed attack.
After the attack, the Bishop got to his feet, placed his hand on the head of his attacker & began praying for him.
At the name of Jesus every knee should bow & every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!
