But as the Flame lyric said about sin, &#8220;they celebrate it and legislate it.&#8221; The neo-pagan world around us is transitioning to outlawing Christianity. Our own government has tried to include Christianity with their propaganda on domestic terrorism, and the tides are turning toward outright Christian persecution. Consequently, antichrist will need some propagandistic angle to explain when the Christians are snatched out of the earth, so demonizing Christians and their morality is his mark. This is why the world will celebrate the removal of Christians by God, as Satan&#8217;s agent will convey that the world is now free because those pesky Christians are no longer holding it back. So I&#8217;ve come to see that the world left in the Tribulation period is going to completely have all the wrath of God coming in its entirety as outlined in Revelation, especially when they openly slaughtered the new followers of Christ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Matthew Grech, 33, faces potential fines and imprisonment for allegedly falling afoul of his country\u2019s ban on \u201cconversion practices\u201d when he explained to a local media outlet last year how he left homosexuality behind because he came to believe it was wrong.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Grech said that after LGBT activists with ties to the Maltese government and the Malta Gay Rights Movement (MGRM) reported him to police for the interview, he now faces up to EUR5,000 in fines or up to five months in prison if convicted of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.mt\/12th-leg\/bills-12th\/bill-no-167\/\" target=\"_blank\">violating Article 3, Section 3<\/a> of Malta\u2019s Affirmation of Sexual Orientation, Gender and Gender Expression Act, which makes it \u201cunlawful for any person\u201d to \u201cadvertise conversion practices.\u201d The journalists who interviewed him also have upcoming court dates and face potential criminal sanctions for their part in conducting the interview.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The legislation, which passed unanimously in 2016, resembles <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stonewall.org.uk\/about-us\/news\/which-countries-have-already-banned-conversion-therapy\" target=\"_blank\">conversion therapy bans<\/a> throughout the world, including in 20 states and more than 100 municipalities in the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"989\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/conversiontherapyusmap.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/conversiontherapyusmap.png 989w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/conversiontherapyusmap-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/conversiontherapyusmap-768x443.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 989px) 100vw, 989px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lgbtmap.org\/equality-maps\/conversion_therapy\">https:\/\/www.lgbtmap.org\/equality-maps\/conversion_therapy<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In Canada, therapists who provide any form of counseling to repress or reduce \u201cnon-heterosexual attraction or sexual behavior\u201d or \u201cnon-cisgender identity\u201d could face up to five years in prison, according to a law put in place last year that prompted <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/thousands-churches-raise-alarm-scope-new-canadian-conversion-therapy-ban\" target=\"_blank\">protests from thousands of churches<\/a> throughout North America because of its scope.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The Conservative Party-led U.K. government <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/government-brings-back-plan-to-ban-gay-conversion-therapy-and-to-include-trans-conversion-12788773\" target=\"_blank\">announced this week<\/a> a plan to debate legislation to add transgender identity to Britain\u2019s conversion therapy ban, which before applied only to sexual orientation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Grech likened the biblical story to his legal battle and the spiritual struggles of people like him who fight to maintain their faith despite their feelings amid what he sees as the tightening grip of opposition from government and the culture.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-wfin-local-news wp-block-embed-wfin-local-news\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"rP4OpfkTIC\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wfin.com\/fox-world-news\/christian-charity-worker-faces-potential-jail-time-fine-after-speaking-about-leaving-lgbt-lifestyle\/\">Christian charity worker faces potential jail time, fine after speaking about leaving LGBT lifestyle<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
