Austria’s Constitutional Court ordered the legalization of homosexual marriage (see Austria’s Constitutional Court orders ‘legalization’ of homosexual marriage) on Tuesday. Today, the Australian parliament voted overwhelmingly to approve the same perversion. Australians have been celebrating this abominable decision. This will not end well (cf. Romans 1:18-32).
Weekly News Summary 1st December 2017
The situation between the USA and North Korea remain tense (see Russia warns of ‘apocalyptic scenario’ on Korean Peninsula). Furthermore, North Korea just successfully launched a more sophisticated ICBM that theoretically could hit any part of the USA (see North Korea launches more advanced missile; Hawaii taking steps). If the situation escalates to a full war in the future, many will die in North Korea and the USA will have losses.
In the Middle East, various Kurds are concerned that the USA will no longer support them as the Islamic State suffers more defeat (see AP: Syrian Kurdish official to US: Don’t turn your back on us). While the CCOG is not taking a political position on what the Kurds want, it should be pointed out the the USA has seemed to use the Kurds when convenient and ignored them when it wanted to. The Bible warns of judgment coming to “an hypocritical nation” (Isaiah 106, KJV) and how the USA has tended to treat the Kurds is simply one example of apparent USA hypocrisy.
Hundreds were killed by Islamic terrorists in Egypt last Friday (see Hundreds killed in Egypt). As many of you are aware, we in CCOG have been teaching that Islamic terrorism is likely to be a motivating factor for the rise of the final King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43) of biblical prophecy. This past Sunday:
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said the country’s two-year-old military coalition would “pursue terrorism until it is eradicated completely” http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/26/middleeast/saudi-arabia-crown-prince-terrorism-fight/index.html
While we do not yet have the formation of the final King of the South, some steps towards such a formation have been taking place (see also Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Salman pushing King of the South?).
On other matters, digital blockchain cryptocurrencies have been in the news (see CNN Money: There’s no stopping bitcoin right now.). Blockchain currencies may very well be used by the 666 Beast of Revelation 13:16-18 as our recent video “Blockchain, Karl Guttenberg, and 666” indicates.

The European Large Hadron Collider (LHC) made the news as a report related to it suggests that it may help Europe develop an energy source that is more efficient than nuclear energy (see Large Hadron Collider may help Europe produce massive quark-fusion energy). It remains my opinion that the LHC, as well as Germany’s F.A.I.R. collider, will spin off technology that will assist the military prowess of the Beast to come (Revelation 13:1-10).
