Article: Technology For A Global Monetary System
Comment from UTT:
The
India Supreme court has upheld the introduction of a biometric data base
system that will provide the means for mass surveillance. This is a sample
of what will happen on a global basis in the near future.
India's
Supreme Court
has voted to uphold the legality of the
country's controversial Aadhaar program, the world's largest
biometric database which contains the personal details of an
estimated 1.2 billion Indian citizens.
In a 4:1 verdict Wednesday, the five-judge bench
ruled that the scheme does not violate the
right to privacy, a key element in a long running case challenging
its constitutional validity.

September 28 - China Trying to 'Rewrite the Bible,' Force Churches to Sing Communist Anthems
Article: Miscellaneous
Comment from UTT:
The following article provides insight into events that are happening in
China which show that Christianity is under major attack. Please read
this article and pray for Christians in China.
The Chinese government is supervising a five-year plan to make Christianity more
compatible with socialism in which there will be a "rewrite" of the Bible,
a prominent religious freedom activist has told Congress. The Rev. Bob Fu, a
former Chinese house church leader who immigrated to the United States in 1997
and founded the persecution watchdog organization China Aid, provided great
detail during a House hearing Thursday about
a plan enacted by leading state-sanctioned denominations in China to "Sincize"
Christianity.

September 29 - Pope: Catholics around the world pray to Mary to protect the Church from the devil
Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days
Comment from UTT:
Pope Francis calls for Catholics to pray to Mary and Michael the
Archangel to protect the Church from the devil thus redefining biblical
parameters
Pope Francis asks Catholics around the world to pray
to Our Lady and the Archangel Michael to protect the Church from the devil,
"which always aims to divide us from God and among us"
The decision of Francis, announced today, is to ask all the faithful a daily
recitation of the Rosary during the entire month of October, "and to unite in
communion and penance". The Pope's appeal also contains
an invitation to conclude the recitation of the Rosary
with the ancient invocation "Sub Tuum Praesidium", and with the prayer to Saint
Michael the Archangel who protects and helps us in the fight against evil (see
Revelation 12, 7-12).

October 1 - World War 3: Iran launches 'DEATH TO AMERICA' missiles in nighttime strike
Article: Wars And Rumors Of Wars
Comment from UTT:
More threats by Iran to initiate World War III by threats that are
happening in the Middle East. Should the world be concerned? According
to the Bible it is only a matter of time until Armageddon will happen in
this region.
IRAN today launched a salvo of missiles
with DEATH TO AMERICA written on the fuselage. The Islamic republic
targeted US-backed militants in Syria saying it was punishing its
enemy's "wickedness".
The obvious sabre-rattling by Tehran
sparked new World War 3 fears as it launched against
American interests in the beleaguered nation.

October 1 - Travellers refusing digital search now face $5000 Customs fine
Article: Miscellaneous
Comment
from UTT:
Custom officials in New Zealand are now able to force owners to turn
over passwords for their phones and computers if asked, or pay a $5000
fine. This is one more indicator that we are living in an age when all
personal privacy is under attack.
Travellers who
refuse to hand over their phone or laptop passwords to Customs
officials can now be slapped with a $5000 fine.
The Customs and
Excise Act 2018 - which comes into effect today -
sets guidelines
around how Customs can carry out "digital strip-searches".
Previously, Customs
could stop anyone at the border and demand to see their electronic
devices. However, the law did not specify that people had to also
provide a password. The updated law makes clear that travellers must
provide access - whether that be a password, pin-code or fingerprint
- but officials would need to have a reasonable suspicion of
wrongdoing.

October 1 - Did Jesus Perform Miracles? Half of British Adults Say No; Only 1 in 10 Back Literal Bible Accounts
Article: Miscellaneous
Comment from UTT:
At one time, England was the bastion of the Christian faith. This is no
longer true today. Evolution, humanism and secularism have eroded the
Christian faith.
Close to half of British adults said in a poll that Jesus
Christ did not perform any real miracles during His time on Earth.
What is more,
only one in ten said that that they believe the word for
word accounts in the Bible,
as revealed in the ComRes survey commissioned by BBC Local Radio, which
was released on Sunday. (The standard error for the full weighted sample
was about 1 percentage point.)
The poll of 2,002 British adults, which took place between August 16 -
26, found that
46 percent of respondents do not believe that Jesus
performed miracles in any form.
Another 37 percent said that they believe Jesus "made
miraculous things happen," but added that the stories in the Bible
include some which "should not be taken literally." Only 11 percent said
that they believe the miracles happened word for word as described by
the Bible.

September 28 - Pope calls for strengthening relations with charismatics and Pentecostals
Article: Ecumenial Movement
Comment from UTT:
Pope
Francis, a Jesuit, calls for strengthening relations between Catholics and

already on the pathway towards ecumenical unity with Rome.
Pope Francis spoke
Friday to participants in the Plenary Assembly of the Pontifical
Council for Christian Unity,
whose theme was "Pentecostals, Charismatics, and
Evangelicals: Impact on the Concept of Unity".
In his address,
the pontiff called for overcoming mistrust and
prejudices that exist between the Catholic Church and other
Christian movements.
