[UPDATES DOWN BELOW]
CATHOLIC EXEMPTION LETTER SUPPORT,
AND THE DIVINE DEPOSIT OF FAITH!
GREETINGS TO ALL, I WILL BEGIN THIS POST WITH INFORMATION REGARDING A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE DEPOSIT OF FAITH, WRITTEN BY A PRIEST, AND FOLLOW THIS UP WITH LETTERS RECENTLY WRITTEN BY THE BISHOPS OF COLORADO AND SOUTH DAKOTA, WHICH SEEM TO BE THE ONLY BISHOPS BRAVE ENOUGH TO STAND UP TO THIS CURRENT DIABOLICAL AGENDA!
REMEMBER THIS IN REVELATION 12?
1A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.

WE SEE, HOW THE STARS ALSO REPRESENT 1/3 OF RELIGIOUS MINISTERS, THAT THE DRAGON WOULD SWEEP UP, UNDER HIS INFLUENCE. MANY BISHOPS AND OTHER LEADERS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TODAY HAVE EXACTLY FALLEN, AND CONTINUE TO WORK UNDER THE DRAGON'S TAIL!
NOW THE FOLLOWING:
Apostolic (Sacred) Tradition as a Source of Catholic Theology (LP)
Scripture, tradition and the Magisterium: Tradition (paradosis in the Greek Bible), is something handed down from one generation to the next. We are familiar with secular traditions or customs. Examples are eating roast turkey at Thanksgiving, toasting the bride and groom after a wedding, throwing wedding rice, lighting candles on birthday cakes and saluting the flag. Some traditions like advent candles, the May crowning and wearing ashes on Ash Wednesday have religious significance. But Sacred Tradition is different. It is the oral teaching of Jesus Christ handed on to the Apostles and the Church, which carries equal weight with the Church's book, the Bible. It is everything – other than Sacred Scripture – which was received by the Apostles from Jesus Christ, which was handed on by them to their successors and the Church. Sacred Tradition is the living and growing truth of Christ contained in the common teaching, common life, and common worship of the Church. Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture form one sacred deposit of the word of God, committed to the Church. “Therefore, both sacred Tradition and sacred Scripture are to be accepted and venerated with the same devotion and reverence" (Dei Verbum 9). Like a three-legged stool, the trinity of divine revelation, namely, Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium (Christ-given and Spirit-guided teaching authority of the Church), makes sure that the Word of God is faithfully handed on to each succeeding generation. Since sacred Tradition and sacred Scripture come from one and the same divine Source, there is a close connection between them, for, taken together, they form one sacred deposit of the word of God. Neither of them is complete without the other. As the words themselves imply, SACRED SCRIPTURE is the written word of God, divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit; and SACRED TRADITION is divinely guided “handing down” of that revealed truth entrusted to the apostles, and passed on written or unwritten.
Living tradition and origin of Sacred tradition: The teachings of Sacred Tradition are not necessarily written down. Rather, these teachings are present in the world as they are lived out. They are, thus, handed on by the lives of those who have lived according to these teachings, as they themselves followed the example of Christ and the apostles (1 Corinthians 11:2, 2 Thessalonians 2:15). This perpetual handing on, or transmission, from one generation to the next of the teachings of Tradition is called a living Tradition. The Council of Trent explains how we got Sacred Tradition: "Such truths and teaching are contained in written books and in the unwritten traditions that the apostles received from Christ himself (John 20:30; 21:35) or that were handed on, as it were from hand to hand, from the apostles under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and so have come down to us" (Council of Trent, Decree on Sacred Scripture and Tradition: Denziger 783 [1501]). The Second Vatican Council teaches that “Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture form one sacred deposit of the Word of God, committed to the Church.” (Dei Verbum, 10). For Catholics, Sacred Tradition stands with Scripture in forming the one single deposit of the Faith. They compliment and confirm one another. "Sacred Scripture is the word of God inasmuch as it is consigned to writing under the inspiration of the divine Spirit, while sacred tradition takes the word of God entrusted by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit to the Apostles, and hands it on to their successors in its full purity" (Dei Verbum 9). Scripture cannot be in conflict with Scripture, and one of the ways this is guaranteed is by Sacred Tradition.
The Catholic and the Protestant views: Our Protestant brothers and sisters, based on 2 Tim. 3:16, "All scripture is inspired by God and profitable (useful) [Martin Luther deliberately translated it as “Sufficient”] for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work," argue that the Bible alone is intended by God to be the source of doctrinal truth, and its interpretation is left to the individual Christian. The Catholic Church, however, teaches that "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture make up a single sacred deposit of the Word of God . . ." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 97), and Christ established a living teaching authority (Magisterium) to safeguard the integrity of the gospel message, and to apply it with divine authority to succeeding ages. The Catholic Church explains that a) "The apostles left bishops as their successors and gave them their own position of teaching authority.'" (CCC 77). b) "This living transmission, accomplished through the Holy Spirit, is called Sacred Tradition..." (CCC 78). c) "Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence." (CCC 82). Since the Catholic doctrines on the veneration of Mary, her Immaculate Conception and her bodily Assumption into heaven, Transubstantiation at Holy Mass, praying to saints, the auricular confession, purgatory, etc are derived from Sacred tradition, Protestants don’t accept them. The truth is that the Bible supports Sacred Tradition where Tradition supports the teachings of the apostles (2 Thess. 2:15), and is consistent with biblical revelation. Jesus insists that Sacred Tradition should not "transgresses the commands of God" (Matt. 15:3). In other words, it should be in harmony with biblical teaching and not opposed to it in any way. Though the Catholic Church officially states that Sacred Tradition should not and does not contradict Scripture, Protestants accuse Catholics of following doctrines based on tradition, without any foundation in the Scripture. Interestingly, Protestants today accept the Catholic "Tradition" of 27 books of the New Testament as divinely inspired. Protestants also accept the Catholic Tradition of meeting in the churches for worship on Sunday, rather than the Jewish custom of meeting on Saturday.
Sacred tradition and the Church: Through Sacred Tradition, "the Church, in her doctrine, life and worship, perpetuates and transmits to every generation all that she herself is, all that she believes" (Dei Verbum 8, paragraph 1, quoted in CCC 78). "The sayings of the holy Fathers are a witness to the life-giving presence of this Tradition, showing how its riches are poured out in the practice and life of the Church, in her belief and her prayer."(Dei Verbum 8, paragraph 3, quoted in CCC, 78). The commission of preaching given by Christ to the apostles was faithfully fulfilled by the Apostles who, by their oral preaching, by example, and by observances, handed on what they had received from the lips of Christ, from living with him, and from what he did, or what they had learned through the prompting of the Holy Spirit. The commission was fulfilled, also, by those Apostles and apostolic men who, under the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit committed the message of salvation to writing. (Dei Verbum, 7). Sacred Tradition is expressed in and grows from the Church’s creeds, the records of the Church’s liturgy, the writings of the great Fathers of the Church, the decrees of popes and councils and the prayer and faith of the people. Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition (the common apostolic teaching, life and worship handed down to us in written and unwritten form), and the magisterial authority of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church are as inseparably united as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Sacred Tradition is handed down both by word of mouth and by letter. In Scripture, as we have it today, "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture form one sacred deposit of the word of God" (Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, 1963, [referred to from its opening words as Dei Verbum] 10), so that the Bible is part, not the whole, of the apostolic paradosis (tradition). The teaching authority of the Church or the Magisterium has a role in interpreting the Bible and deciding authoritatively which truths are the parts of sacred tradition. In other words, the apostolic task of authoritatively and definitively passing on and applying revelation already received is carried on by the Pope and the bishops as successors to the apostles.
New Testament on Sacred Tradition: St. Paul, in his writings (1 Corinthians 11:23, for example), states very forcefully that he is “handing on” what was “handed on” to him. Biblical texts prove that the apostolic Church accepted Tradition as a norm for faith and practice. For example, 2 Thessalonians 2:15 states, "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter", and 2 Thess. 3:6 asserts, "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep aloof from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us.” 1 Cor. 11:2 reminds us, "Now I praise you because you remember me in everything, and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you." (Confer also 2 Tim. 1:13-14). Besides, the Bible explicitly says that not everything Jesus did and taught was written down (John 20:30; 21:25). It is true that Jesus criticized the Jewish tradition (Matt.7:6, 15:3, 15:6-9), but that happened only when the tradition contradicted Scripture. In addition, Christian tradition, as explained above, is different from Jewish tradition which consisted of interpretations of Torah given by the Jewish rabbis. That is why St. Paul praises both oral and written Christian traditions: “Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.”(2 Thessalonians 1:14). "The things which you have heard from me through many witnesses you must hand on to trustworthy men who will be able to teach others" (2 Tim. 2:2).
The problem of Jesus criticizing the Jewish traditions: “You hypocrites!" declared Jesus to the scribes and Pharisees. "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men’" (Matt. 15:6-9). (Confer also Mark 7:8–9; Colossians 2:8). What inspired this harsh rebuke was the scribes and Pharisees’ attack on Jesus’ disciples for their failure to observe the religious custom of the ritual washing of their hands before eating. The object of Jesus’ criticism was the tradition of Korban – the custom of dedicating one’s belongings to the Temple, while retaining their use. This practice allowed one to forego familial obligations to support one’s elderly parents by claiming one’s property was dedicated to the Temple and therefore inviolable. Jesus declared this interpretation contrary to the commandment to honor father and mother (Ex. 20:12). Jesus’ criticism of Korban did not mean that Jesus rejected all religious tradition, but only those which were contrary to the Scripture. We have Biblical texts to prove the apostolic Church accepted Tradition as a norm for faith and practice (2 Thessalonians 2:15, 1 Cor. 11:2, 2 Tim. 1:13-14), and that the Bible explicitly says that not everything Jesus did was written down (John 20:30; 21:35). Furthermore, Catholics distinguish capital "T" Tradition, which comes from God, either through Christ or the apostles (Luke 10:16), from lower-case "t" human traditions or customs. While the latter may (although need not), contradict the Word of God, the former cannot, and it is capital "T" Tradition about which Catholicism is principally concerned. Jesus not only didn’t attack the Catholic view – the idea of Tradition as the authentic understanding and application of the Biblical message. By citing the commandment to honor father and mother, Christ not only subordinated a human tradition to the written Word of God but offered an infallible interpretation and application of a scriptural text, thus establishing the precedent for the apostles and their successors, the bishops, to follow. The apostles did the same thing when interpreting the Old Testament or explaining the teaching of Jesus. Apostolic teaching was the standard for the early Church. The interpretative and teaching function of the pope and the bishops who share in the teaching ministry of Christ and the apostles (the Magisterium), follows this pattern. (Fr.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THE REASON I ADDED THIS BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPOSIT OF FAITH, AND HOW IT NEEDS ALL 3 LEGS OF THAT STOOL, IS DUE TO THE REASON THAT MANY CATHOLICS RIGHT NOW, ARE IN FEAR OF BEING THROWN UNDER THE BUS, AS WE HAVE, BY FALSE FRANCIS AND HIS AGENDA THAT VERY CLEARLY GOES ALONG WITH THE DRAGON AND HIS SUPPORTERS.
BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I ADDED THIS, BECAUSE THE EXEMPTION LETTERS ARE TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT IT IS THE CATECHISM OF THE CHURCH AND ITS OFFICIAL TEACHINGS, NOT FRANCIS' OPINIONS ON ANY MATTER, THAT WE ARE APPEALING TO AND SEEKING AS A SOURCE OF SUPPORT AND REFERENCE.
THIS IS SO BECAUSE THE 3 PILLARS, SACRED TRADITION, SACRED SCRIPTURE AND MAGISTERIAL TEACHING, ALL 3 HAVE TO BE IN UNION AND IN ACCORDANCE IN ORDER FOR SOMETHING TO BE LICIT, WITHIN OFFICIAL CATHOLIC TEACHING!
IF FRANCIS' TEACHINGS GO IN OPPOSITION TO THE OTHER 2, OR EVEN PREVIOUS OFFICIAL PAPAL TEACHINGS, THEN IT IS NOT LICIT, AND IT IS IN FACT HERETICAL.
AS I MENTIONED A FEW DAYS AGO, I HAVE COMPLETED A CATHOLIC EXEMPTION LETTER, COMPLETE WITH A YEARS WORTH OF LINKS TO ARTICLES AND STUDIES THAT SHOW VERY CONCRETE PROOF/EVIDENCE OF WHY THE JAB IS SO WORRISOME. I USED THE TEMPLATE THAT IS FOUND ON THE FOLLOWING SITE:
https://www.ncbcenter.org/ncbc-news/vaccineletter
THE SITE IS THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC BIOETHICS CENTER'S, AND HERE NOW IS THEIR STATEMENT ON THESE MANDATES:
NCBC Statement on COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates
July 2, 2021
https://www.ncbcenter.org/ncbc-news/vaccinemandatestatement
The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC) does not endorse mandated COVID-19 immunization with any of the three vaccines that have received Emergency Use Authorization as of July 1, 2021, from the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
The most authoritative guidance from the Catholic Church issued on this topic comes from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) and emphasizes that individuals must discern whether to be vaccinated or not in conscience and without coercion:
“Practical reason makes evident that vaccination is not, as a rule, a moral obligation and that, therefore, it must be voluntary. In any case, from the ethical point of view, the morality of vaccination depends not only on the duty to protect one's own health, but also on the duty to pursue the common good. In the absence of other means to stop or even prevent the epidemic, the common good may recommend vaccination, especially to protect the weakest and most exposed. Those who, however, for reasons of conscience, refuse vaccines produced with cell lines from aborted fetuses, must do their utmost to avoid, by other prophylactic means and appropriate behavior, becoming vehicles for the transmission of the infectious agent.”1
2 https://www.ncbcenter.org/ncbc-news/vaccinestatementupdated
Several key points should be kept in mind by any institution that might consider incentivizing or requiring the use of COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the USA.
1. The Church has consistently pointed out the ethical problems with vaccines produced and/or tested using abortion-derived cell lines. The Church has judged it permissible for people to either accept (under protest) or reject the use of such vaccines.2 In other words, there is no universal moral obligation to accept or refuse them, and it should be a voluntary decision of the individual. Catholic institutions, in particular, should respect the decisions of people to decline use of vaccines dependent on abortion-derived cell lines. This is especially relevant when there are other means of mitigating risk.
2. The best ethical decision-making occurs when individuals have sufficient information for discernment and are able to reflect without undue external pressures placed on them. Mandates, by their very nature, exert pressure that can be severe if employment or the ability to further one’s education are threatened.
3. The novelty of the SARS-CoV-2 and of the technologies for eliciting an immune response to prevent or mitigate COVID-19 leave several medical questions unanswered. Only time and careful study of the virus and benefits and adverse effects of the vaccines will provide the answers many persons need to give free and informed consent.
4.If any institution mandates COVID-19 vaccination, the NCBC strongly urges robust, transparent, and readily accessible exemptions for medical, religious, and conscience reasons. Safeguarding the appropriate judgments of conscience3of all individuals affiliated with the institution helps establish trust and avoid undue pressure during the important and personal process of deciding about appropriate medical care and serving the common good.
5. Recognizing the importance of public health, Institutions that grant an exemption may require that
recipients restrict their interpersonal interactions, but these restrictions should be the least burdensome possible.

NOW, THE FOLLOWING IS AN OFFICIAL JOINT LETTER ISSUED BY THE BISHOPS OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
SOUTH DAKOTA CATHOLIC CONFERENCE
Statement of the Bishops of South Dakota
Regarding Covid-19 Vaccination Requirements
https://www.sfcatholic.org/bishop-degrood/covid-19-vaccination-requirements/
August 10, 2021
Feast of Saint Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr
We have recently received a significant number of inquiries from the faithful concerning general requirements for some persons to receive a Covid-19 vaccination.
We addressed many moral aspects of choosing a vaccine in a statement on December 30, 2020. As we said then, one may accept Covid-19 vaccines in good conscience if certain conditions are met, but doing so is not a universal moral duty. We echoed the Vatican, which explained in a doctrinal note that “practical reason makes evident that vaccination is not, as a rule, a moral obligation.” Rather, with attention to the common good, the decision to receive a Covid-19 vaccination should be discerned in light of many factors, several of which we described in that statement.
Now, recent inquiries from the faithful raise the corollary question of whether a Catholic must be vaccinated if required to do so by an employer or other authority. The following principles of church teaching apply:
● The Church teaches and right reason affirms that, as a general rule, free and informed consent is required prior to all medical treatments and procedures, including vaccination.
● Consent is informed if a person knows the essential nature of the proposed treatment and its benefits; its risks, side-effects, consequences, and cost; and any reasonable and morally legitimate alternatives, including no treatment at all.1
● Consent is free if one has the ability to decline a medical intervention following discernment of relevant information and in accord with one’s certain conscience, without coercion or fear of punishment.
● We are bound to follow our consciences if we are certain of them. We have a duty to form our consciences in accord with right reason and the good willed by the wisdom of God.2
● There is a general moral duty to refuse medical interventions that are in some way dependent upon cell lines derived from abortion; however, such are permissible if there is a proportionally grave need, no alternatives are available, and one makes one’s objection known. Even then, a well-formed conscience might decline such interventions in order to affirm with clarity the value of human life.3
● We have the right to freely follow our conscience. We must not be forced to act contrary to our conscience, i.e., to be compelled to do something we believe to be wrong. Nor must

3 Dignitatis Personae, no. 35; see also “Moral Reflections on Vaccines Prepared from Cells Derived from Aborted Human Foetuses,” Pontifical Academy for Life (2005).
4 Vatican Council II, Dignitatis Humanae, no. 3.
5 Vatican Council II, Dignitatis Humanae, nos. 2, 9.
we be prevented from acting according to our consciences, especially in religious matters, provided that just public order be respected.4
● The right to freedom of conscience and religious freedom is based on the inherent dignity of the human person.5
This decision is intimate and personal. Consistent with the above, a Catholic may, after consideration of relevant information and moral principles, discern it to be right or wrong to receive one of the available Covid-19 vaccines. If he or she thus comes to the sure conviction in conscience that they should not receive it, we believe this is a sincere religious belief, as they are bound before God to follow their conscience. We support any Catholic who has come to this conviction in seeking religious exemption from any Covid-19 requirement.
We urge that these principles be acknowledged by both public and private entities so that a climate of responsible freedom and respect for religious conscience will prevail.
These questions come following a year and a half of great difficulty for many. The hardships of the last 18 months have included loss of life and serious illness; they also have included various public measures intended, at first, to slow the spread of the Covid-19 illness and, later, to eliminate the disease altogether, measures that have not been without their own social consequences. We are grateful to all those in healthcare and public service who have sacrificed greatly in order to heal and comfort the sick, and to reasonably protect the healthy, especially the aged and immunologically-weakened. Most importantly, throughout this time, God has invited all of us to trust more completely in his loving providence. We commend and thank those of God’s faithful who have offered joyful witness to God’s saving love to those who have been lonely, frustrated, frightened, or discouraged! We pray every person might know how deeply and personally God loves them, especially in the midst of difficulty.

NOW, THE FOLLOWING IS THE LETTER FROM THE BISHOPS OF COLORADO:
We, the Catholic bishops of Colorado, consistent with our previous letters on COVID-19 vaccines, affirm that the use of some COVID-19 vaccines is morally acceptable under certain circumstances. Throughout the pandemic we have cooperated with the various secular authorities and encouraged Catholics to help each other, and the broader society, remain healthy and safe during this challenging time. We understand that some individuals have well-founded convictions that lead them to discern they should not get vaccinated. We are pleased to see that in the case of the most recent Denver vaccine mandate there is accommodation for sincerely held religious beliefs. This is appropriate under the laws protecting freedom of religion.
We always remain vigilant when any bureaucracy seeks to impose uniform and sweeping requirements on a group of people in areas of personal conscience. Throughout history, human rights violations and a loss of respect for each person’s God-given dignity often begin with government mandates that fail to respect the freedom of conscience. In the case of the COVID-19 vaccine, we are convicted that the government should not impose medical interventions on an individual or group of persons. We urge respect for each person’s convictions and personal choices.
We have been asked several questions by the Faithful about relevant Catholic teaching applicable to this issue. The Catholic Church teaches that a person may refuse a medical intervention, including a vaccination, if his or her conscience leads them to that decision. Here are relevant points for this personal decision:
• Vaccination is not morally obligatory and so must be voluntary.
• There is a moral duty to refuse the use of medical products, including certain vaccines, that are created using human cells lines derived from abortion; however, it is permissible to use such vaccines only under case-specific conditions—if there are no other alternatives available and the intent is to preserve life.
• A person’s assessment of whether the benefits of a medical intervention outweigh the undesirable side-effects are to be respected unless they contradict authoritative Catholic moral teachings.
• A person is morally required to obey his or her conscience.[FRANCIS UPHOLDS THIS, BUT ONLY WHEN IT COMES TO GAYS!]
• For more information on these weighty ethical issues, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has issued a statement that can be read here.
Taken as a whole, these points mean a Catholic may judge it right or wrong to receive certain vaccines for a variety of reasons, and there is no Church law or rule that obligates a Catholic to receive a vaccine — including COVID-19 vaccines.
The three Colorado Catholic dioceses remain committed to working with public health and other secular authorities to protect the wellbeing of our communities, at the same time urging that personal freedoms of conscience and expression be fully supported, and the integrity and autonomy of religious institutions be respected. The vaccination question is a deeply personal issue, and we continue to support religious exemptions from any and all vaccine mandates.
If any person comes to an informed judgment that he or she should receive or not receive a vaccine, that person should follow their conscience, and they should not be penalized for doing so. We encourage any individual seeking exemption to consult their employer or school. The Colorado Catholic Conference also has a letter template available to be signed by pastors of the Faithful if a Catholic wants a written record that they are seeking exemption on religious grounds.
Sincerely,
Most Reverend Samuel J. Aquila

The Fall of Modern Babylon is Happening Now!
GREETINGS TO ALL,
WELL, THE FALL OF MODERN DAY BABYLON IS LITERALLY HAPPENING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES, IN ALL ASPECTS!
WHILE THE A.C.'S MEDIA, AND GOV'T PUPPETS SHOUT FROM THE ROOF TOPS, 'CLIMATE CHANGE,' YOU AND I KNOW THAT THIS HAS ALL BEEN PROPHESIED ABOUT FOR CENTURIES.
PROPHECY STATES THAT IN TIMES OF A.C., THE NATURAL ORDER WOULD APPEAR TO COME UNHINGED, AND EVERYTHING FROM UNNATURAL STORMS, TO EARTHQUAKES, TO VOLCANOES, ETC., WOULD ALL COME ALIVE AND BEGIN TO DEMONSTRATE TO HUMANITY THAT THE LEVEL OF SIN IN THE WORLD, HAS COME TO SUCH A POINT, THAT THE NATURAL ORDER HAS BECOME DISORDERED! IT'S ALL ABOUT SIN, NOT CLIMATE CHANGE!
AS MODERN DAY BABYLON CONTINUES TO GO THROUGH THESE JUDGEMENTS, THE RUSSIANS AND CHINESE ALSO ARE TAKING NOTE THAT SOME KIND OF JUDGEMENT MUST BE OCCURRING HERE, BECAUSE IT IS BECOMING SO OBVIOUS FOR ALL TO SEE.
NEXT WILL COME THE HORRIBLE WORLD WAR!
"...China could attempt to seize Taiwan by force amid America's disorganized exit from Afghanistan, which has tarnished U.S. prestige. Allies of the West, such as Japan and Taiwan, held talks about increasing aggression in the Taiwan Strait."
AGAIN MORE PROOF THAT NATIONS WITH HIGHEST JAB RATES, ARE THOSE WITH HIGHEST CASES AND HOSPITALIZATIONS!
Israel is now the world's Covid hotspot: Cases soar despite country's trail-blazing vaccine roll-out - sparking fears other highly-vaccinated countries will be hit by another wave due to jabs' waning immunity
