Get Ready For It! It's Coming: the "Confrontation between the Church and the Anti-Church...between Christ and the Antichrist"

Beijing Accelerating Timeline for Possible Invasion of Taiwan, Expert Warns

"Beijing’s incursions are part of a series of dry runs in preparation for an invasion of Taiwan, John Mills, the former director of cybersecurity policy, strategy, and international affairs at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, told The Epoch Times.

"Mills projects that these exercises could culminate in a large-scale dry run in the next two years. These dry runs are necessary, Mills said, given the complexity of amphibious landing operations—as well as how the Chinese military has never conducted a forced landing on a hostile power in a real-life situation before."

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 

Matthew 24.

"Taiwan, located on the first island chain, would be among the first targets of any Chinese military aggression in Asia. The first island chain is an arbitrary demarcation from the southern Japanese island of Kyushu, Taiwan, the Philippines, to Indonesia. For decades, the CCP’s military strategists have seen the first island chain as a barrier to the regime’s air and naval power, leaving the second island chain and beyond out of its reach."

Pope John Paul II predicted that the 21st century would be a Springtime of Evangelization or it not be at all. During the 1976 Eucharistic Congress held in Philadelphia he warned the participants:

"We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think that the wide circle of the American Society, or the whole wide circle of the Christian Community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the Antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore, in God's Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously."

Has the Church taken up the trial courageously? Is that what we've seen in the face of the Great Global Reset spurred by the opportunistic Chinese virus? Certainly not from our shepherds, many of whom bent the knee before Caesar even before he mandated it. Some not only bent the knee but groveled before Caesar. Some continue to do so. It's time for the laity to take up the gauntlet as warriors in the Church Militant and follow the real shepherds. If your bishop is a clerical eunuch and false sheperd, don't give him a penny and look for the voices of truth in the Church among the real shepherds.
