Recently, there’s been a lot of talk about the Olympics opening ceremony which took place in Paris France. The Olympics Opening Ceremony is a globally event, symbolizing unity, peace, and the celebration of human potential through sports. Each host nation strives to create a ceremony that reflects its culture, history, and achievements while also honoring the Olympic spirit. The ceremony typically features a parade of nations, artistic performances, the lighting of the Olympic flame, and various other segments that captivate a worldwide audience.
This year’s ceremonies sparked controversy due to the content, interpretation, and the perceived messages. One such instance involved the incorporation of drag queens in a segment in a reenactment of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.” This particular performance generated a large amount of criticism and was view as blasphemous or disrespecting God by the Church and believers. The consensus of most religious leaders it was nothing more than mocking God.
The bible says this about mocking God. Galatians 6:7 – “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.“
This mockery was a deliberate attack by Satan and his followers, intended to challenge conventional norms and spark conversation about gender identity and representation. However, it definitely crossed the line by making fun of Jesus at the Last Supper.
We are in the final days before Jesus returns to set up His kingdom. Satan is in all-out battle mode. No longer hiding in the dark corners, but out in the open attacking everything of God.
2 Timothy speaks of the perilous times in the last days and people being lovers of themselves rather than lovers of God. The verses not only represent our society today… But also signifies a broader moral and spiritual decline fulfilling the end of times prophecies.
2Timothy 3:1-5 – “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these.”
In conclusion, even though the Olympics have just closed, and the final numbers are not in yet… they are estimating losses of over 2 billion dollars for the event. The day after the opening ceremonies there were an estimated 750,000 Christians took to the streets in Paris in protest. Similar peaceful protests also happened in Los Angeles and in the Philippines. It’s time Christians made their Voices known!
In closing… Did the opening ceremony of the Olympics disturb you? Did it ruffle your feathers or get your dandruff up? It should have. We need to be on guard for the attacks from the devil and his demons. As Christians, we are at war with the forces of evil.
Are you prepared for battle? If not… it’s time to put on the full armor of God. Let’s get prepared now because the “Battle is Raging.” Please don’t be a casualty of the spiritual war. Prepare today…. tomorrow may be too late.
Please… if you don’t know Christ or have fallen away, please pray… Tell God you believe His Son Jesus paid for your sins on the cross and then raised Him from the dead. Tell God you are sorry and want to start Living for Him. He will forgive your sins and mistakes and give you Everlasting Life with Him… and place His Spirit deep within your heart. In 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” and in Romans 10:9 tells us. ”that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;“
