HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, March 29, 2026 – One of the most definitive signs that we’ve entered the Great Tribulation will be the death of the worldly church. That means no more casual Christians, no more denominational Christians, and no more Christians-of-convenience (i.e., people who claim to be fleeing persecution as Christians in order to gain the generous asylum benefits of Western nations). During the Great Tribulation, the only people openly professing belief in God and claiming to be followers of Jesus will be genuine bornagain believers – that is, those who would rather be killed than deny who they are, because killed they will be, and brutally.

We can see from the ongoing presence of the worldly church that we’re not yet—thank God—in the Great Tribulation. We’ve been in the end times now for nearly 2000 years, but we haven’t entered the final stage. We’ll know when we do because, as I’ve mentioned, every vestige of Christianity will have been wiped from the earth, other than for the very rare and increasingly rarer saints, all of whom will have a bounty on their heads.

The end will be very much like it was in the beginning. Public preaching will be outlawed, and we’ll be forced into hiding and hounded from place to place until finally being arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and executed. Once the worldly church has been universally banned—like it is already in North Korea—only genuine believers will remain. No-one else will want to suffer for The Name.

The Canadian government is in the process of enshrining into law a bill (C-9) that removes the “good faith” protection from Canadians when they openly express what they sincerely believe, if what is being expressed is considered “hate speech”. Canadians were granted carte blanche permission by law to openly express what they sincerely believe back in 1970, but when “hate” laws were later thrown into the mix, stating your beliefs and using scripture to back them up started to come under scrutiny, especially when those beliefs concerned the “alphabetization” of Western society or the mass arrival in the West of demon worshipers claiming to worship God. That scrutiny has now turned into a clawing back of the permissions that I and most Canadians once took for granted. When this bill is passed into law within a month or two, much of what I’ve written here in this blog may be cause for me to be fined and/or thrown into jail for promoting so-called hate (otherwise known as God’s Truth).

The push-back to this looming law started as soon as the bill was introduced in Canada’s parliament last fall, but none of it will be successful because the bill has God’s permission. In other words, God himself – not parliamentarians and not even the devil – has deigned that Canadians have forfeited their “good faith” protection. As a nation, Canada has, in its “words and doings”, fallen so far away from God that it’s no longer recognized spiritually or geopolitically as a Christian nation.  When a people remove themselves from God, God removes himself from them, and the demons rush in to claim the vacated spiritual turf.

We know that the world is under the authority of Satan, but Satan can only do what God permits him to do, and God will only permit him to do what has been earned either as a reward or a test. God is all-knowing and his justice is perfect; the Canadian parliamentarians aren’t pulling the wool over God’s eyes by sneaking through a law that targets his Word. Jesus reminded Pontius Pilate that he had power over Jesus only because God gave it to him, that God permitted Pontius Pilate to have power over Jesus for a time and for a reason because “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”. The power referenced by Jesus didn’t come from from Pontius Pilate but from God, just as the removal of the “good faith” protection under Canadian law doesn’t come from Canadian parliamentarians but from God.

The imminent passing of bill C-9 into law is yet another sign that we are nearing the start of the Great Tribulation. Other nations formerly known as Christian have passed (or are in the process of passing) similar bills into law. With their passage, the threat of fines and/or imprisonment will so constrain the application of God’s Word to everyday life—will so water down what can be shared publicly—that preaching will soon become little more than a feel-good pep talk made agreeable even to unbelievers. This reward, sadly, has been earned. The worldly church will persist for a while, but in such an increasingly emaciated and bloodless form to be nearly inconsequential. When the church is finally outlawed in the name of cultural diversity or some other doctrine of devils, it will be a mercy killing, as the late-stage worldly church will be Christian in name only.

We, however, the Church founded by Jesus Christ and empowered by God’s Holy Spirit, will continue until Jesus comes back to take the last of us Home. We in the Kingdom cannot be silenced, any more than the two anointed witnesses prophesied to preach during the Great Tribulation will be silenced. We may be banned, yes; fined, yes; outlawed, yes; hounded, yes; imprisoned, yes; and killed, yes, but never silenced, because even in our death, the Word God spoke through us will resound.

No law on Earth can stop that.

“Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”

Matthew 24:35
