Far from a sideshow or circus, this is backdoor (no pun intended) prophecy.

I don’t need a video to tell me we are headed for the next version of Noah’s Ark II, Moses vs the Egyptians, the Irish potato famine, or any number of catastrophic disasters brought upon us by our own disregard of God’s rules of good order and discipline.

With kind regards to any snowflake Egyptians or Irish taking offence at the examples used.

Paglia herself goes for the ladies. But even she has a cutoff point.

Interesting that so many gays support transgender nonsense. I guess it makes them feel more "normal" to know there are people more screwed up than themselves and that society has to regard them as normal. We're getting to the point that what really is normal is now considered abnormal.

Good news for the bees. "Research at Washington State University has demonstrated that a mushroom extract fed to honeybees greatly reduces virus levels in hive members. Trials demonstrated a 79 fold reduction in deformed wing virus and an even greater reduction in Lake Sinai virus on a control population."

With parents and the elite that think it fun to begin their young child on hormone therapy or God forbid finds a Doctor to perform a sex change operation on a minor, they are setting that human up for being sterile and totally confused by the time they come of age. 90% of sex change recipients eventually commit suicide. Definitely a society in collapse.

Jordan Peterson’s Queen’s University talk is another one that’s long but worthwhile. The anti-Free Speech, neo-Totalitarian nature of the modern Left is on full display via some protester-disrupters, while JBP discusses why they are directly related to the Communists that killed many millions in the 20th Century.

Oh, and I highly doubt she’d get a PhD in today’s academe. Things were very different when she came through the system.

I’ve posted this video on social media more than once, sometimes in response to someone asking what the history of transgenderism is.

It has been repeatedly flagged as “hate speech” and taken down.

We actually have two cultures subsisting side by side and tremendously fighting each other. Some have called it the "culture of life versus the culture of death." It can be also explained as the classical state where reason and faith work together versus an enlightened state where reason works to destroy faith. However it is termed, one will win over the other. In referring to "Cultural Collapse," I believe Camille is saying that the culture that supports transgender mania will itself expire.

“We actually have two cultures subsisting side by side and tremendously fighting each other. Some have called it the “culture of life versus the culture of death.”

The problem is the insipid ideas of multiculturalism and diversity which have infected the minds of so many gullible people.

At the end of the day the fight is between reality and delusion, what works and what doesn’t. Only in a wealthy country like ours can one afford to run on delusions for any amount of time.

The consoling fact is that sooner than later reality will get its revenge, but it won’t be pretty or pleasant.

The rainbow colors at Niagara Falls were in use LONG before the homosexuals laid their false claim of “ownership”. I remember seeing the rainbows (natural and manmade) at NF in the early-mid 1970’s.

The other photographs are indicative of your point, however.

When I have a spare 2 hours I might get give it a watch. I find it disturbing that a lot of Christians w want to sweep this talk under the rug and just get on with it. John the Baptist didn’t think that was ok re Herod and his behavior. There will be no revival without repentance. Repentance requires conviction.

A BIBLICAL Message to LGBT folks EVERYWHERE!



 
Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.


Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

 
 


Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.


Romans 1     New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
 
 18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
 

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite. 


2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

I have no use for her lecturing us about the peril involved.

The ancient Hebrews; even BEFORE the 10 commandments; have warned us:

Genesis 19:9, NASB

"But they said, 'Stand aside.' Furthermore, they said, 'This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them.' So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door."

Yes, they want to feel good about themselves. Your last line is why there's so many problems (to restate). The weirdos are rising and other weirdos in power support them.
