Hello John and Doves,
Just saw this in the news about the Satanic Temple unveiling it's statue of Baphomet at the Arkansas State Capitol.
This is just pure evil! Surely we can not be far from the Rapture and the start of the Tribulation!
What hit me was how few Christians showed up to counter protest this! Is this what 'Christianity' has been reduced to in America? Handfuls of Christians across the country "holding signs with Bible verses and occasionally singing Christian songs"? Pretty pathetic.
President Trump chided America's ministers basically telling them that if they united they'd have power and a strong voice in this country - but they won't, so they are weak and have no voice. Shameful!
We are allowing the evil to just bowl us over! Who will stand up against this wave of evil that is sweeping across the land?
Come quickly, Lord!

Satanic Temple Unveils Baphomet Statue at Arkansas Capitol
The Satanic Temple has unveiled its statue of a goat-headed, winged creature called Baphomet in a rally at the Arkansas State Capitol to protest a Ten Commandments monument already on the Capitol grounds.
The Satanic Temple has said it will sue the state, claiming religious discrimination. But when the Satanic Temple tried to join a case the ACLU had already brought against the state, the ACLU asked the court to bar the intervention. A judge has not yet ruled whether the Satanic Temple can join the case.
The Ten Commandments monument was sponsored by Republican Sen. Jason Rapert and installed quietly in 2017. Less than 24 hours after its installation, a man drove his car into the monument, smashing it to pieces. The same man also destroyed a Ten Commandments monument outside of Oklahoma's state Capitol. The Satanic Temple had originally tried to install its Baphomet statue there, but Oklahoma's Supreme Court ruled the Ten Commandments monument was unconstitutional and it was taken down. The Satanic Temple then suspended its Oklahoma campaign.
In an online statement, Rapert said he respected the protesters' First Amendment rights, but also called them "extremists" and said "it will be a very cold day in hell before an offensive statue will be forced upon us to be permanently erected on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol."
About 150 people attended the rally, which had a substantial police presence. A smaller group of counter-protesters holding signs with Bible verses stood quietly nearby, occasionally singing Christian songs.
The rally was peaceful. One speaker — a Christian minister — was interrupted by a yelling counter-protester, but police escorted the man who was holding a large wooden stick away from the stage.
