China Forbids Children From Attending Church
Daily Caller ^ | August 30, 2017 | Joshua Gill

Posted on 08/30/2017 10:38:32 AM PDT by Kalamata

Chinese officials issued warnings to hundreds of churches that no child is allowed to enter a church or attend religious services, even with their parents.

Four regional governments began notifying churches of this new ban against children participating in religious activities as early as mid-August, according to Daily Mail. Hundreds of churches in China’s Zhejiang province received notices that not only banned children from entering churches, but also threatened that any believer caught taking a child to church “will be dealt with severely,” according to a report from Vision Times.

"The crackdown continued with new religious regulations designed to bring religions in China in line with Communist party control, under the guise of “sinicizing (making more Chinese)” religion. Authorities have also arrested, openly and secretly, various church leaders and subjected them to torture."

If you check out the Voice of the Martyrs website you see that China is one the biggest persecutors of Christians. Right up there with the muslim countries.

Tell kids not to do something. Might as well put a big fat “Hey Kids! Over here!” sign on it.

The spirit of antichrist is quite evident in the world these days. Yes, been going on especially the last 2,000 years but the global insanity of 1) LGBTQXYZ 2) Electronic currency 3) Dividing Israel 4) deification of political figures etc.

It's interesting that Acts notes how the Apostle Paul was forbidden to preach in Asia by the Holy Spirit.

Acts 16:6 King James Version

6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

Sure, this is evil, viciously evil. Yet it will only foster the growth of Christianity in China—soon to house the world’s largest community of Christian believers. Meanwhile, here in the USA we can’t drag most of our kids to church.

Don't forget the Demoncrats and the Main-Stream Media. How about the Demoncrats booing God and Jerusalem as Israel's capital. And then you had these fun little items:

Things that ought to grab the attention of any Christian who understands Bible Prophecy:

The Christian faith is a threat to dictators everywhere - including the US.

Xi Jinping, China’s leader, is considered “leftist” or retrograde by most Chinese. Chinese applaud his crackdown on government-business corruption, but he is reasserting Communist Party and Government power in a number of areas that had loosened quite a bit in the last 25 years.

China has been steadily suppressing and making moves against the many Christian Churches of eastern China for the past few years. It demonstrates to me something is happening there that they fear they can not control.

Yahuah (God) is ready to say “Enough!”

In my opinion, it will happen in a dramatic way on October 5, 2017

I examine near term (fewer than 37 days from today) prophecy in detail at “The Rescue of the Bride” http://october-5-2017.com

The gathering of believers who comprise The Great Multitude in White Robes (Revelation 7:9ff) will take place between September 5, 2017 and October 5, 2017. September 5, 2017 is the start of The Great Tribulation. October 5, 2017 is Sukkot, also known as the Festival of Tabernacles, also known as the Festival of Ingathering.

The Great Multitude in White Robes come out of The Great Tribulation (Revelation 7:14), so their gathering cannot occur before the start of The Great Tribulation (September 5, 2017).

The Great Multitude in White Robes will be in the throne room in heaven no later than the Festival of Ingathering on October 5, 2017. Look at what they are holding in their hands - palm branches! Palm branches are required for the Festival of Ingathering (Leviticus 23:40).

The Great Sign of the Woman appears on September 23, 2017 exactly at sunset in Jerusalem - exactly at the end of Rosh Ha Shanah, exactly at the time of the blowing of “the last trump.” [The two (2) day observance will start one day late this year.] This may be the “rescue/rapture” date. We see the first evidence that the “rescue/rapture” has occurred when “The Great Multitude in White Robes” [Revelation 7:9ff] appears in the throne room of Yahuah (God) twelve (12) days later just after the opening of the Sixth Seal on October 5, 2017. These events allow us to unlock the timeline of the Book of Revelation.

It’s stunning - and Antichrist-like (capital “A”). Though I still think the Scripture indicates he comes from Europe - from the old Roman empire.

Regardless - you find church-going folks and they do things like that.

It was beyond alarming. They’ll slide right into to Antichrist mode with the greatest of ease.

That Obama acted like that, repeatedly (including last year - post to follow) wasn’t surprising so much. Then tens of millions jumped on board with it from the get-go, was alarming. A couple more posts - one heavy on images too.

Here's the daughter of "Christian missionaries" - is she in full rebellion or do they support her nonsense?
