“And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region. But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.” Acts 13:49-50

The word of the Lord was being spread all across the region, and that is when persecution was stirred up against Paul and Barnabas. The devout and prominent women and the chief rulers expelled Paul and Barnabas from their region. In today’s culture, the prominent women and chief authorities are expelling those who spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ out of their region. They do not want the teachings of the Bible to be in their social network.

The devout and prominent women of today are those who are devoted to today’s culture and have a prominent place within the social structure. They seek to rid society of the Gospel of Jesus Christ because Christians place Jesus Christ as head over the family and men as head over the household. In today’s culture, which is global, women are propelled to places of power and authority. The belief of the governors of the global government is that women are more peaceful by nature than males who are considered more aggressive. In order to establish peace and security in the world, they are depending on women in leadership position. They discard the notion that peace comes through Jesus Christ who gives the Holy Spirit by the remission of sin. They do not retain God in their knowledge, “…and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.” Romans 1:23

I live in Circleville, and women are in positions of power and authority everywhere. From managers in the gas stations, to leadership in community agencies, in the educational system, to positions of power in local government. Today, the mayor of Circleville is female, and the city council is mostly female. This is happening in cities all across the nation. These women are empowered by the beast that gives them what to speak, do, think, and feel. They are empowered with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, uncanny authority over others, fabricated emotional responses, etc. This is the beast that gives life to the image of the beast to speak and live through them. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

Placing women in positions of prominence in every city around the world is the agenda of the United Nations. The UN is progressing in becoming the one world government, which is the government of the beast. “The United Nations promotes women as leaders through various initiatives and programs aimed at their participation in political and public life…The UN Women Leaders Network… is a key example of this commitment. It unites a global international group of women leaders advocating for…participation in leadership and decision-making…The UN Office for Partnerships, through the Women Rise for All initiative, connects women leaders to the UN and global networks, amplifying their leadership in keeping the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals.“ [From internet search]

“At the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.” Acts 21:8-9

Along with the prominent women wanting the Gospel of Jesus Christ out of their social network, so do the men who are chief authorities of today’s culture. These men are those who embrace the goals of the United Nations and embrace the power behind the global culture. That power is the beast that governs by giving people what to think, say, feel, and do. The chief authorities do all they can to support placing women in positions of power, authority, and leadership. This involves bringing the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and all births of Christianity, to extinction, as described in Revelations 12. The Good News is expelled from today’s atheistic culture.

“But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:51-52

Paul and his companions were at Antioch at Pisidian, which is just northwest of Iconium [within the purple circle].

Our Lord Jesus Christ says, “And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!” Matthew 10:14-15

The following verses describe what is happening in the world today, “Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb…” Revelation 13:6-8 The “he” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast.

Jesus says that night is coming when no one will be able to work to share the Light of His Gospel, “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 9:4-5

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
