President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who declared 2025 as the “Year of the Family,” presented a series of benefits for young couples about to marry and for parents during a meeting on Jan. 13 in Ankara.

One key initiative was the expansion of the interest-free loan program for newlywed couples. Initially introduced in the earthquake-affected regions, this program offers a TL150,000 ($4,226) loan with a 48-month repayment term and a two-year grace period. Erdoğan announced that it would now be available nationwide, benefiting young couples across all 81 provinces of Türkiye. He emphasized that this loan would help young couples avoid financial stress at the start of their married life. “From now on, all young people in 81 provinces can benefit from this opportunity,” Erdoğan said.

Erdoğan announced an increase in Birth Assistance payments, with TL 300 for the first child, TL 400 for the second and TL 600 for the third and subsequent children as a one-time payment. He emphasized that Türkiye was losing its young and qualified population, stating; “The average age of marriage has risen to 26 for women and 28 for men and the age for becoming a mother has surpassed 29. Back in 2007, we made a call for at least three children to address the decline in fertility and population growth rates. Looking back, we see how right we were. We will continue to repeat our call for three children.”

Another significant announcement was the increase in birth assistance. The government raised the one-time aid for the first child to TL 5,000. Additionally, for the second child, families will receive TL 1,500 per month and for the third child and beyond, the support increases to TL 5,000 per month. Erdoğan explained that the government would directly deposit these amounts into mothers’ accounts without conditions for the second and subsequent children. He highlighted the importance of supporting families as they grow. “We are raising the one-time birth assistance for the first child to TL 5,000. For the second child, we will provide TL 1,500 per month,” he stated.

Beijing’s population has declined for the first time in 19 years

Erdoğan also introduced several new programs to address broader family-related issues. These include financial support, counseling services, and housing assistance for young couples. He also promised new opportunities to improve women’s work-life balance by promoting flexible and remote working models. Additionally, the government plans to strengthen child care services to support working parents and provide medical opportunities to help with childbearing.

“Wedding ceremonies are encouraged to be simple, without extravagance or waste, as advised by our Prophet,”

A major issue Erdoğan tackled was the rising cost of extravagant wedding ceremonies, which place financial pressure on young couples. He noted that societal expectations, fueled by social media, often lead to unnecessary financial burdens. “Wedding ceremonies are encouraged to be simple, without extravagance or waste, as advised by our Prophet,” Erdoğan said. He also linked these pressures to rising divorce rates, noting that excessive financial demands were one of the main causes. “One of the main reasons for early divorces is these excessive financial demands,” he added.

Display, Extravagance, and Hilarity Are Inappropriate At Weddings—Marriage ceremonies are made matters of display, extravagance, and self-indulgence. But if the contracting parties are agreed in religious belief and practice, and everything is consistent, and the  ceremony be conducted without display and extravagance, marriage at this time need not be displeasing to God.6
There is no reason why we should make great parade or display, even if the parties were perfectly suited to each other. AH 100.5 – AH 101.1

Türkiye’s demographic challenges, particularly its declining fertility rate

Erdoğan also addressed Türkiye’s demographic challenges, particularly its declining fertility rate, which has fallen to 1.51, well below the replacement rate of 2.1. He warned that this could lead to a shrinking population and a reduced global influence. In response, Erdoğan acknowledged the criticism the government faced but expressed confidence that the public would eventually recognize the necessity of this policy.

The Guise of Family Planning : We Are Sold I and My People

Erdoğan concluded by reinforcing his belief that the issue of family and population growth is vital for the nation’s survival. “Our Family Institute will carry out policy development activities regarding family, which we see as a ‘survival issue’ for our nation’s future,” he affirmed. He also expressed concern over population control efforts carried out under the guise of planning, which he believes are driven by malicious intent. “Time will confirm this belief,” he said.

Additionally, Family and Social Services Minister Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş presented Erdoğan with a special gift, a calligraphy painting symbolizing family unity, featuring a hadith that states, “The best among you is the one who is best to his family.”

“Isolated” breathing crisis on Friday : Pope ‘resurrects’ after breathing crisis, Vatican says

The final overthrow of all earthly dominions is plainly foretold in the word of truth. In the prophecy uttered when sentence from God was pronounced upon the last king of Israel is given the message:
“Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: … exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give it Him.” Ezekiel 21:26, 27.
The crown removed from Israel passed successively to the kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. God says, “It shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give it Him.”
That time is at hand. Today the signs of the times declare that we are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Everything in our world is in agitation. Before our eyes is fulfilling the Saviour’s prophecy of the events to precede His coming: “Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars…. Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” Matthew 24:6, 7.
The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the strained, restless relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place—that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.

One Mind : European leaders on edge as prospect looms of Trump pulling 20K troops from continent

However, American presidents from both parties have been warning European leaders for more than a decade of the potential shift of troops away from the continent as the U.S. seeks to focus more effort on confronting the emerging threat of China in the Indo-Pacific, leaving Europe in charge of a greater share of its own security.

European leaders are grappling with how to handle icier relations with the U.S. since President Donald Trump regained control of the White House this year.

“The Europeans have a serious problem of readiness … that they’re trying to fix, but it takes time,” Camille Grand, a former NATO official who is now with the European Council on Foreign Relations, said in a Washington Post report Sunday. “If Trump decides ‘I’m going to pull out U.S. troops from Germany because I’m upset with the trade imbalance,’ that’s much more complicated to manage than to say we have a plan to do this within X years.”

The comments come as European leaders have become increasingly anxious about the future of the security of the continent in the second era of Trump, with the Washington Post reporting that leaders are wary that the American president is too friendly with Moscow and that they widely expect him to pull back roughly 20,000 U.S. troops that were deployed to the continent by former President Joe Biden in the aftermath of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

“I would not be surprised if at some point [those troops] go back to their home base in America,” a NATO diplomat told the outlet while noting that those troops were sent to Europe at the height of an emergency and that their exit “would be, so to speak, a return to normalcy.”

World Leaders Back Zelenskyy Following Trump, Vance Oval Office Spat

The current number of U.S. troops in Europe has fluctuated between 75,000 and 105,000 since 2022, according to data from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), with the higher end of that number being a result of the surge of forces into the region ordered by Biden.

But fears persist that those numbers could fall even more rapidly than expected under Trump, despite assurances from Trump administration officials that there are no imminent plans for a large reduction of forces on the continent.

Those fears have been buoyed by recent events, including Vice President JD Vance’s remarks at a security conference in Munich in which the American leader scolded European leaders for their alleged break from shared values such as freedom of speech and Trump’s widening rift with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

However, American presidents from both parties have been warning European leaders for more than a decade of the potential shift of troops away from the continent as the U.S. seeks to focus more effort on confronting the emerging threat of China in the Indo-Pacific, leaving Europe in charge of a greater share of its own security.

Indeed, the U.S. military footprint in Europe has already fallen drastically since the end of the Cold War, the CSIS data shows. At the height of hostilities between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. had nearly 500,000 troops deployed to the continent. There were still roughly 350,000 U.S. troops in Europe at the start of the 1990s and the end of the Cold War, a number that fell further to more than 100,000 at the turn of the century.

Despite the consistent warnings, European leaders now fear that the timeline to move troops from the continent could accelerate further under Trump, leaving holes in European security countries they are not yet able to fill.

“Isolated” breathing crisis on Friday : Pope ‘resurrects’ after breathing crisis, Vatican says

Pope Francis, who has been battling pneumonia for two weeks, is in a stable condition following an “isolated” breathing crisis on Friday, the Vatican has said.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.Psalm 18 : 4, And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.Revelation 17 : 15

The 88-year-old experienced an episode of vomiting and a “sudden worsening of his respiratory condition” in hospital last night, and received gas through a face mask to help him breathe.

The Vatican said on Saturday evening that the Pope had not suffered further breathing crises and had responded well to oxygen therapy.

It did not share a prognosis, but said the pontiff remained “alert and well oriented“.

The Pope’s Prayer To His “Poor” Disciples From Six Continents_ Laudato Si For “Death”

In a statement, the Vatican said the Pope received the Eucharist this afternoon “then dedicated himself to prayer“.

He alternated between an oxygen mask and “long periods of high-flow oxygen,” it added.

It said the Pope did not show signs of an increased white blood cell count, which can indicate infection or inflammation, and that his blood flow and circulation “remained stable”.

The Pope also continued to eat and actively cooperated with regular “respiratory physiotherapy,” it said.

Earlier, the Vatican said the Pope had a “peaceful night” and was resting, with an official adding: “I think he had coffee this morning.”

Vatican sources had said the Pope’s doctors needed 24 to 48 hours to determine whether there had been any damage or setback to his overall condition.

In an earlier statement on Friday evening, the Vatican said the Pope had “an isolated crisis of bronchospasm which, however, led to an episode of vomiting with inhalation and sudden worsening of the respiratory condition”.

[15] He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. [16] He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him. [17] He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.Job 20 : 15-17

That health update came after a couple of days in which Vatican statements had been slightly more positive, talking of a “slight improvement” in the pontiff’s condition.

He was given Communion on Friday morning.

In an earlier medical update, the Vatican stressed that the Pope would remain in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital because of the “complex” clinical picture.

The level of detail from Vatican officials about the Pope’s latest crisis is extraordinary.

This is now the longest the Pope has been in hospital – and the longest period in which he’s been out of public sight – since he took over from Pope Benedict in 2013.

That makes many Roman Catholics nervous.

Previously, Italian TV channels were reporting that the Pope was “no longer critical”, as that word disappeared from Vatican health updates recently and the Pope’s health slipped down the news agenda.

Now it’s back on the front pages, although news of the Ukrainian president’s brutal dressing down in the Oval Office was the biggest story.

“Another crisis, Anxiety for the Pope” wasIl Messaggero’s headline, which also speaks of “prayers and tears” among Catholics gathered for evening prayers outside St Peter’s Basilica.

“Vomit and breathing crisis: Anxiety for the Pope returns” was the headline in Il Giornale.

The Pope was admitted to hospital on 14 February after experiencing breathing difficulties for several days.

He was first treated for bronchitis before being diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs.

The pontiff is particularly susceptible to pneumonia, an infection of the lungs that can be caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi, after he contracted pleurisy – an inflammation of the lungs – as a young man and had a partial lung removal.

From Argentina, Pope Francis is the first Latin American, and first Jesuit, to lead the Roman Catholic Church.

The leader of the Roman Catholic Church has been admitted to hospital multiple times during his 12-year tenure, including being treated for bronchitis at the same hospital in March 2023.

Jakarta, Sep 4 (EFE).- Pope Francis called for inter-religious dialogue to counter extremism and intolerance during his speech Wednesday morning at the presidential palace in Jakarta, on the first day of the official agenda of his Southeast Asia tour.

pope arrived in Jakarta on Tuesday to begin the longest tour of his papacy : Fishing With The Reformer Pope 

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Galatians 4 : 4, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;2 Thessalonians 2 : 3

The pope arrived in Jakarta on Tuesday to begin the longest tour of his papacy, which will also take him to Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Singapore over 12 days.

“The Catholic Church desires to increase inter-religious dialogue. In this way, prejudices can be eliminated and a climate of mutual respect and trust can grow,” he said in his first appointment at the Istana Merdeka Presidential Palace.

The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
Proverbs 28 : 16

“This is indispensable for meeting common challenges, including that of countering extremism and intolerance, which through the distortion of religion attempt to impose their views by using deception and violence.”

He lamented that “in various regions we see the emergence of violent conflicts, which are often the result of a lack of mutual respect, of the intolerant desire to let one’s own interests, one’s own position, or one’s own partial historical narrative prevail at all costs, even when this leads to endless suffering for entire communities and results in wars and much bloodshed.”

Sabbath Genocide Again? ‘UN is not the Bible,’ Rwanda to contest its reports: Foreign minister
[1] After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him. [2] And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
Esther 3 : 1-2

However, the pontiff began by praising Indonesia’s “mutual respect for the specific cultural, ethnic, linguistic and religious characteristics of all the groups” because it “is the indispensable and unifying fabric that makes Indonesians a united and proud people.”

Catholics makes up around 3 percent of Indonesia’s 270 million people, but is still the third-largest Catholic population in Asia after the Philippines and China. Muslims make up around 87 percent of the country.

Together with outgoing President Joko Widodo, whom he met with Wednesday, Francis reiterated that “harmony in diversity is achieved when particular perspectives take into account the needs common to all and when each ethnic group and religious denomination acts in a spirit of fraternity, pursuing the noble goal of serving the good of all.”

[3] Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment? [4] Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Esther 3 : 3-4

He added that this “wise and delicate balance, between the multiplicity of cultures and different ideological visions, and the ideals that cement unity, must be continuously defended against imbalances.”

Although, Francis also stressed that the Catholic Church desires to increase inter-religious dialogue “in order to promote a peaceful and fruitful harmony that ensures peace and unites efforts to remove the imbalances and suffering that still persist in some areas of the country.”

According to data from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS), although decreasing, there are 25 million poor people in the country.

The Pope will attend an interfaith meeting on Thursday at Istiqlal mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia and connected to the nearby Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption by the “tunnel of friendship,” where he will sign a joint declaration on tolerance with the grand imam, Nasaruddin Umar.

[10] And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. [11] And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. [12] And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
Luke 23 : 10-12

Francis considered that “there are times when faith in God is continually placed in the forefront, but is sadly manipulated to foment divisions and increase hatred instead of furthering peace, communion, dialogue, respect, cooperation and fraternity.”

[47] Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? [48] Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
John 7 : 47-48

He concluded by sending a message to the country’s political class, assuring that “harmony is achieved when we are committed not only to our own interests and vision, but to the good of all, to building bridges, fostering agreements and synergies, joining forces in order to defeat all forms of moral, economic and social distress, and promoting peace and concord.” EFE

[5] And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. [6] And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Esther 3 : 5-6

Israel endorses US plan to extend ceasefire, claims Hamas refusing, warns war can restart

Pope Francis : Those who insist on keeping the truth over preaching the Gospel have threatened the church

Minutes after the end of the 42 days of the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire, Israel endorses what it says is a US proposal to see the ceasefire with Hamas extended through Ramadan and Passover, during which all hostages could potentially be released.

Ramadan, which began Friday night, runs until March 29. Passover ends on April 19.

Half of the hostages — Quick and Dead

Half of the hostages — living and dead — would be released on the first day of the extended ceasefire, says the Prime Minister’s Office in a statement released after a four-hour meeting headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Truth and error are both in the field, striving for the mastery. The champions of truth will have a fierce conflict. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” The warning comes, and the directions  are repeated, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” All that the Lord has told you, it devolves on you to do. No one need be deceived, if he will make the word of God his study. How little is the book of Revelation studied! It is a hidden mystery to the religious world; and why?—Because the events not pleasant for consideration, are so faithfully traced by the prophetic pen; and people who are in any way troubled about the matter are soothed by their shepherds, with the statement that the Revelation cannot be understood. But it is to be understood; for it especially concerns us who are living in these last days. Read Revelation 1:1-3. “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Read the last chapter of Revelation carefully and prayerfully. What significance there is in the statements of this chapter! “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” This is the most effectual teaching that can be given in the church built for the Sanitarium, and this testimony is to be given in all the churches. Wherever there is an opportunity to reach the people, the attention should be called from the earthly to the heavenly. “And the  Spirit and the Bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” We are to voice the words of the angel. SpTA07 52.2

The remaining hostages would be released at the end of the period if a permanent ceasefire is reached, says the PMO, stressing that this is a plan proposed by US special envoy Steve Witkoff.

Hamas has yet to accept Witkoff’s plan, says Israel. “If Hamas changes its position,” says Netanyahu’s office, “Israel will immediately enter negotiations on all the details of the Witkoff plan.”

The Return to The Dark Ages!

The statement does not directly threaten a return to war, instead reminding the public, and Hamas, that the initial agreement allows Israel to return to fighting after March 1 — meaning at any moment now — if negotiations are deemed ineffective.

The PMO claims that Hamas has repeatedly violated the agreement, while Israel is in full compliance.

However, the agreement states that talks on phase two of the deal will begin “no later than day 16.” Israel has not engaged in indirect talks with Hamas on the second phase of the agreement until after day 42. Additionally, the IDF didn’t start withdrawing its forces from the Philadelphi Corridor on the Gaza-Egypt border on Saturday, despite the deal requiring Israel to start this process on day 42.

'UN is not the Bible,' Rwanda to contest its reports: Foreign minister

ANKARA

“The UN is not the Bible,” and Rwanda will contest its reports, the foreign minister has said over the country’s alleged support to M23 rebels fighting in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

“We contested those reports several times. It is not the Bible when the UN says something, the UN is not the Bible.

“We contested those reports, and we have been protecting ourselves for 30 years now since the threat has persisted since the genocide against the Tutsi,” Olivier Nduhungirehe told the Swiss broadcaster RTS on Tuesday.

The Rwandan minister criticized Congo for trying to topple the government in his country, and blamed President Felix Tshisekedi for forming an international coalition of Burundi, Southern Africa soldiers, and “even European mercenaries.”

“We do not fear being diplomatically isolated, we do not fear sanctions. What we would fear is to leave our country and our population defenseless,” he added.

He further said the M23 rebel groups were from a Congolese community of Rwandan culture “due to the colonial history,” and denied having any Rwandan troops in the region.

The Houthis did not officially announce a delegation was attending the funeral, but the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV reported a delegation from Yemen would participate. “We affirm that the movement of these terrorist leaders… in this timing is not a mere participation in the funeral, which is being used as a cover, to gather all the leaders of the Iranian axis and assess the situation after the blows they received,” he added.

For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:

Nduhungirehe also announced that foreign ministers of the concerned countries will meet soon to elaborate on a roadmap for resuming the talks between M23 and the Congolese government.

The UK announced punitive measures for Rwanda for its alleged support for M23, including suspending direct financial aid and stopping high-level attendance at events hosted by Rwanda’s government, as well as suspending defense cooperation.

Last week, the US also announced economic sanctions against Rwanda’s Minister of State for Regional Integration, James Kabarebe, a former army commander, saying he was central to his country’s support for the M23 rebels.

The EU last week summoned the ambassador of Rwanda, and the bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the EU urged Rwanda to withdraw its troops from eastern Congo, suspended the defense consultations, and decided to review the memorandum of understanding on critical raw materials.

The M23 group has intensified its territorial control in eastern Congo since December, seizing the provincial capitals of Goma and Bukavu.

Fighting in the eastern Congo has led to the deaths of more than 7,000 people this year, Congo’s Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka told the UN Human Rights Council on Monday.Anadolu Agency website contains only a portion of the news stories offered to subscribers in the AA News Broadcasting System (HAS), and in summarized form. Please contact us for subscription options.

No Matter Who the Next Pope is, Rome’s Mission Remains the Same

February 28, 2025 by Andy Roman Leave a Comment

Regardless of whether the next pope is conservative, moderate, or liberal, the Vatican operates according to a long-standing prophetic agenda that transcends any individual leader. All popes, regardless of their political or social leanings, have publicly and emphatically emphasized “Sunday sacredness” and the “immortality of the soul,” or spiritualism—the “two great errors” that Satan will use to “bring the people under his deceptions” (Great Controversy, p. 588). No matter who sits on the papal throne, the system itself is moving toward the fulfillment of these predictions, ensuring that what has been prophesied will come to pass.

According to an article published by The Gateway Pundit on February 25, 2025, Pope Francis has strategically appointed a significant number of cardinals who align with his progressive vision for the Catholic Church, effectively stacking the College of Cardinals to ensure that his successor continues his left-leaning agenda. The article says that Pope Francis has effectively shifted the ideological balance of the voting body that will elect the next Pope through the record number of cardinals he has appointed. Many of his appointees share his views on social and theological issues, ensuring that when the time comes to choose his successor, the majority of voting cardinals will be inclined to elect someone who will carry forward Francis’ progressive legacy, making it highly unlikely that a conservative Pope will reclaim the Papacy in the immediate future.

The Gateway Pundit published the following:

• “Out of 138 Cardinals eligible to vote for the next Pope – under the age of 80 – no less than 110 were appointed by Pope Francis – about 80 percent.” [1]

• “With his appointments, he wants to ensure a process that produces a Pope that the Church needs for these times.” [1]

• “With so many members of the College of Cardinals appointed by him, ‘progressives’ are expected to easily have the numbers to overcome the conservatives.” [1]

According to the book Great Controversy, the papacy’s ultimate goal remains unchanged, regardless of who gets elected next—and that mission is to regain religious and political authority on a global scale and influence the nations, especially the United States, to enforce its doctrines, particularly Sunday observance. While different popes may adopt varying strategies—some emphasizing ecumenism, others reinforcing traditionalism—the underlying mission of the Vatican is steady and unwavering.

“The Roman Church is far-reaching in her plans and modes of operation. She is employing every device to extend her influence and increase her power in preparation for a fierce and determined conflict to regain control of the world, to re-establish persecution, and to undo all that Protestantism has done. Catholicism is gaining ground upon every side” (Great Controversy, p. 565).

Here we are told that the Papacy is seeking to regain the temporal power and influence it held during the Middle Ages. Rome’s ultimate goal is to unite church and state under its authority by enforcing religious observance through civil power. Sister White also warns that the papacy aims to undermine religious freedom, impose its doctrines—especially Sunday worship over the biblical Sabbath—and eventually lead the world into a system of spiritual deception that opposes God’s truth.

“The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance” (Great Controversy, p. 592). 

This is the strategy that the Vatican is working on: Protestant America will form an image of the beast and will use its economic and political strength to impose the worship of the papacy, and all the world will get on board.

“The United States shall enforce Sunday observance, which Rome claims as the special acknowledgment of her supremacy. But in this homage to the papacy the United States will not be alone. The influence of Rome in the countries that once acknowledged her dominion is still far from being destroyed … In both the Old and the New World, the papacy will receive homage in the honor paid to the Sunday institution, that rests solely upon the authority of the Roman Church” (Great Controversy, p. 578).

Rome’s influence is steadily strengthening across the world, particularly in American politics. Through its many agents, including Catholic and Evangelical politicians, the Papacy is subtly advancing its agenda, working to unite church and state under its moral authority. In the United States, Protestant churches and political leaders are increasingly aligning with the Catholic model of church-state partnerships on issues like prayer in public schools, family values, supporting Christian policies, and Sunday observance. 

As Ellen G. White warned, this growing religious awakening in our political systems is leading toward a time when Rome’s true purposes will be revealed—when laws enforcing its doctrines, especially Sunday sacredness, will be enacted under the guise of saving our Christian society, thus fulfilling prophecy and bringing the final crisis upon God’s faithful people.

To SpaceX CEO and unelected White House advisor Elon Musk, the planned deorbiting of the International Space Station can’t come soon enough.

Who is Responsible for Theological Drift? Netanyahu, Pope or West? “It is time to begin Preparations for Deorbiting the space station,”

“It is time to begin preparations for deorbiting the space station,” he tweeted today. “It has served its purpose. There is very little incremental utility.”

“Let’s go to Mars Hill

Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.Acts 17 : 22, [4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. [5] And the LORD came down to see the city (Rock/Asteroid 2032) and the tower, which the children of men builded. Genesis 11 : 4-5

Musk also reiterated his desire to abandon current plans to visit the surface of the Moon, adding “let’s go to Mars.”

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

NASA  with Musk’s SpaceX to pull the aging orbital lab 🔬 out of its orbit starting in 2030

Confusingly, NASA is already working with Musk’s SpaceX to develop a “US Deorbit Vehicle” designed to pull the aging orbital lab out of its orbit starting in 2030. The agency announced it had selected the company in June.

[1] Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. [13] Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?1 Kings 1 : 1, 13, Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.Romans 6 : 12, Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.Luke 17 : 21

Is Musk aimlessly trying to make more enemies within NASA’s ranks — or are his comments yet another smoke screen as he spreads chaos throughout the government?

When Ars Technica‘s Eric Berger asked Musk if he was “supposed ggesting that the ISS be deorbited prior to 2030,” Musk stopped short of offering any concrete plans, arguing that “the decision is up to the President, but my recommendation is as soon as possible.”

“I recommend 2 years from now,” he added.

It’s a baffling new development, considering that plans for the station’s destruction were already well underway.

Musk also appears to be throwing the entire scientific community under the bus by arguing that there’s “little incremental utility.”

Despite its old age — the cracks are literally starting to show — the ISS has served and still serves an extremely important function, allowing scientists to conduct important experiments in microgravity, including the feasibility of humanity embarking on long journeys through outer space.

For one, that’s research that aligns extremely closely with Musk’s goals of delivering humans to Mars.

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.2 Timothy 4 : 18
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:Galatians 1 : 4
Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;2 Corinthians 1 : 10

NASA also doesn’t have another space station lined up, except for several private partnerships that may or may not result in the launch of privately owned orbital labs before the end of the decade.

Musk’s latest tweet also highlights a growing deviation between NASA’s current priorities and his own. Musk’s space company holds tens of billions of dollars worth of government contracts, evidence of his naked conflict of interest as the boss — or whatever he is — of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which is currently making brutal cuts to federal spending.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said Thursday she will propose constitutional reforms aimed at protecting Mexico’s sovereignty after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration designated six Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

The U.S. designations have stirred worry in Mexico that it could be a preliminary step toward U.S. military intervention on Mexican territory in pursuit of the cartels, something Mexico sharply rejects.

“The Mexican people will not accept under any circumstances interventions, interference or any other act from abroad that could be harmful to the integrity, independence and sovereignty of the nation,” Sheinbaum said.

On Thursday, the designation of eight Latin America-based criminal organizations was published in the U.S. Federal Register, carrying out a Jan. 20 executive order by Trump. The U.S. hopes the designation, something usually reserved for terrorist groups with political rather than economic objectives, will increase pressure on the groups.

Sheinbaum said during her daily press briefing Thursday that Mexico also wouldn’t allow outside involvement in investigations or prosecutions without authorization and collaboration of the Mexican government.

Former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Sheinbaum’s predecessor, had already written into Mexican law limits to how foreign agents could operate in Mexico, limiting their independence and requiring that Mexican authorities be informed of their movements. Sheinbaum proposes enshrining those limits in the constitution.

“What we want to make clear in the face of this designation is that we do not negotiate sovereignty,” Sheinbaum said. “This cannot be an opportunity for the United States to invade our sovereignty.”

Her administration also proposed reforming the constitution to apply the most severe penalties available under law to foreigners involved in the building, smuggling and distribution of guns. Mexico has long demanded that the U.S. do more to prevent the flood of guns into Mexico from U.S. gun shops and manufacturers.

Her Morena party and its allies hold majorities in both chambers of Congress and have been able to pass a number of other constitutional reforms.
