WHO Converging December 5-7 to Discuss Pandemic Treaty That Would Unleash a Global Medical Dictatorship
|
|
[This story repeats one we featured on last Saturday's Legislative Snapshot. This is so critical, we are choosing to run it again. Thank you.]
Today we bring you a truly bombshell interview and critical story about the WHO’s new pandemic treaty which is specifically written to overrule the United States Constitution and all domestic laws in every nation, worldwide. How do we know this? Because treaty expert Dr. Francis Boyle studied the proposed treaty language and lays it all out in today’s hard-hitting interview (see below). He’s the author of the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, and an expert in reading and writing treaties. And today, he issues his strongest warning yet made public.
Dr. Boyle is the author of a recent book entitled, “Resisting Medical Tyranny,” and in today’s interview, he openly warns that this new WHO treaty — dubbed “WHO CA+” — is designed to unleash a global medical dictatorship that would overrule your local doctors, hospitals and clinics, forcing them to follow WHO directives on things like masks, quarantines, social distancing and economic lockdowns.
Read the treaty for yourself at this link from Keionline.org:

If that link disappears, we have a backup copy at NN servers:
https://www.naturalnews.com/Files/ADVANCE_for_16_November_A_INB3_3_E.pdf
In essence, the new WHO pandemic treaty turns the entire world into a China-style medical police state where sovereign nations, states and individuals themselves have no recognized health freedom rights whatsoever.
Stated another way, if Biden signs this treaty, what China did to its own people during COVID lockdowns will soon be coming to America.

- Abba, we say NO to the WHO Pandemic Treaty! We pray that this news will go FAR and WIDE and that the alarm will be sounded! We pray that MANY INTERCESSORS will come against this treaty and do the spiritual warfare! We pray that many will SPEAK OUT against this treaty! We pray that Biden will NOT sign this treaty! In Yeshua's name, amen!
- "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:
“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place. Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it." (Isaiah 28:16-18)

Fauci Testimony Confirms Big Tech Collusion to Censor Free Speech on COVID: Attorneys General
|
|
The press statement also revealed that Fauci's daughter worked at Twitter as a software engineer until last year.
Dr. Anthony Fauci’s testimony in a federal lawsuit that accuses U.S. government officials of colluding with Big Tech to censor speech, “confirmed” that “social media companies want to control not only what you think, but especially what you say,” Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said on Tuesday.
Landry, along with Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, have sued numerous federal government officials for working with Big Tech to suppress speech online, including criticism of the official government position on masks, vaccines, and other COVID policies.
The attorneys general released Tuesday the results of Fauci’s deposition, which him saying “I don’t recall” 174 times, according to Landry’s and Schmitt’s news release. The press statement also revealed that Fauci’s daughter worked at Twitter as a software engineer until last year.
Fauci testified that he had never personally contacted a social media company to ask for content to be taken down. However, Fauci and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had 13 different conversations during 2020, according to information obtained during the lawsuit process.
He also testified that he was aware of the “concept of freedom of speech.” (LifeSiteNews) Read more here.

- Father, we know that there will come a day when this man will stand before You, Almighty God and give an account for himself. We do pray that he is
Thank You Father, that evidence continues to come to the surface and may the exposure of everything be powerful. We pray for the Attorneys General who are standing up for justice against the collusion and censorship that has been aggressive in this nation. We pray for Anthony Fauci, et al., to receive the justice due them for any crimes they have committed. We pray for him to repent before God, but to be held to account before mankind, in Jesus name.
- " . . . But Jesus answered again and said to them, 'Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'" (Mark 10:24-25)

House Sends Same-Sex Marriage Bill To Biden’s Desk In Bipartisan Vote
|
|
The House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass a final version of the Respect for Marriage Act, which requires states to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
Thirty-nine Republicans joined with all 219 Democrats to pass the legislation. It initially passed the House in July, but the Senate’s addition of a religious liberty amendment made another vote necessary. Republican opponents argued that the bill does not do enough to protect opponents of same-sex marriage from discrimination claims, and neither chamber included a religious liberty amendment championed by some conservatives.
“I first introduced a version of this legislation in 2009, and I am very proud that after a long journey it will soon be headed to the president’s desk and marriage equality will be enshrined in law,” lead sponsor and House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler said in a floor speech. “The House took an important step in July when it passed the bill with the support of 47 Republican members. Now that the Senate passed an amended version, also with bipartisan support, it is up to us to finish the job.” (Dailly Caller) Read more here.

- Oh King of Kings, we repent for this tragedy taking place on our watch and we forgive those who supported it, especially those of our same party. We know that You use everything for good, so we pray for the ability to see Your hand at work in this matter and ask for Your strategies to cause this nation to be in alignment with Your word. May we be strong to speak up about God-written truths and may there be a revival of the Word and salvations across this land, in Jesus name.

1. Likud inks deal with Shas, finishes doling out government posts to coalition allies - Times of Israel
Negotiators from the Likud and Shas parties reached an agreement overnight Wednesday-Thursday on the cabinet posts that the latter ultra-Orthodox faction will receive in the next government, completing the last of such deals with prime minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition partners as he aims to take office in the coming days.
Like the deals Likud has signed with its Orthodox partners United Torah Judaism, Religious Zionism, Otzma Yehudit and Noam, the agreement with Shas was only an interim deal and all of the parties are still negotiating terms of their final coalition agreements so the next government can be sworn in. But having finished divvying out cabinet posts to his five partner parties, Netanyahu can now focus on handing out the remainder of portfolios to lawmakers from his own party, which with 32 MKs, is the largest in the Knesset.
In the agreement with Shas, though, Likud agreed to name the former longtime party’s chairman Aryeh Deri the next interior minister and health minister. After roughly two years, Deri will replace Religious Zionism chairman Bezalel Smotrich as finance minister. The Shas chairman will also be named deputy prime minister. It will likely be up to Deri — and possibly Netanyahu — to determine which members of his party will receive the various government postings in the coming days. (Read more)

2. With doubts rising in Bahrain, Herzog seeks to get Abraham Accords back on track - Times of Israel
Shortly after President Isaac Herzog’s Arkia charter flight took off Monday evening from Abu Dhabi for his journey back to Israel, the plane contacted Saudi air traffic controllers and made its way northeast.
The presidential flight over Saudi Arabian airspace is a tangible sign of the progress Israel has made in a region that rejected overt cooperation for decades. Since the 2020 Abraham Accords normalization agreements, Saudi Arabia has allowed Israeli airlines to use its airspace for flights to and from signatories United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, and over the summer announced it would open its skies to all Israeli commercial flights.
But it’s also a reminder of the barriers the agreements have run up against in the two years since they were signed on the lawn of the White House. (Read more)

4. This is Antisemitism,’ Finnish Bishop Declares as Artists Boycott Helsinki Museum Over Links to Israeli Businessman - Algemeiner
More than 200 artists have signed a statement pledging to boycott Finland’s leading gallery of contemporary art because of its links with a Finnish-Israeli philanthropist, in a move denounced as “antisemitic” by the Bishop of Helsinki and other public figures.
In the statement, the signatories pledged to “refuse to sell our labor and art” to the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki as long as it maintained links with the Zabludowicz Art Trust, an initiative of Chaim “Poju” Zabludowicz, a London-based billionaire who hold dual Finnish and Israeli citizenship.
“Our stance is based on the fact that organizations Chaim ‘Poju’ Zabludowicz funds support the apartheid regime imposed on Palestine and the Palestinian people by the State of Israel,” the statement declared. (Read more)

5. New report details shocking anti-Semitism at University of Toronto - World Israel News
The University of Toronto has come under fire for its “shocking” levels of anti-Semitism, after a senior advisor at the university published a tell-all report detailing the hateful remarks heard by students, which include calling “all Jews liars” who control the world.
The academic paper appeared in the Canadian Medical Education Journal and was authored by Dr. Ayelet Kuper, who was appointed by the school’s administration as a senior advisor on anti-Semitism after a series of anti-Semitic incidents on campus.
The paper, titled “Reflections on addressing anti-Semitism in a Canadian faculty of medicine” and first cited by the Toronto Sun, outlines Kuper’s findings after a year in the role. (Read more)

1. Rand Paul: “Fauci Has the Blood of 7 Million People on His Hands” – NewsTarget
Senator Rand Paul accused Anthony Fauci on Thursday of being directly responsible for funding dangerous research that killed millions of people, and warned that he “won’t get away with it.”
“Likely there is no public health figure who has made a greater error in judgement than Dr. Fauci,” Paul said during a Fox News appearance, adding “the error of judgement was to fund gain of function research in a totalitarian country.”
Fauci funded “research that allowed them to create super viruses, that in all likelihood leaked into the public and caused seven million people to die,” Paul said. “This is right up there with decisions, some of them malevolent or military to kill millions of people,” The Senator further urged.
The Senator made the comments after Fauci appeared in a fawning Washington Post interview, where he was labeled a “hero,” complained about being a victim, and couldn’t think of anything he did wrong. (Read more)

- Dear Lord, how we thank You for a Senator like Dr. Paul who can boldly point out the truth to all the world. Thank You that he has gotten to the bottom of the matter and pointed out for all to see over the protests of Dr. Fauci, who is obviously evading answering directly. Lord, we pray for more direct and intense interrogation of those who have done questionable things in our government to bring the fruit of truth to Congress.

2. Katie Hobbs Certifies Her Own Election as Arizona Governor While Kari Lake Prepares Lawsuit -LifeSite News
Arizona Secretary of State and Democrat Katie Hobbs officially certified her own “election” as governor, triggering a forthcoming lawsuit from rival Kari Lake to challenge the reported win.
Having refused to recuse herself from overseeing Arizona’s general election results due to what some call a conflict of interest, Hobbs signed off Monday on her own alleged win as governor, along with previous governor Doug Ducey, Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Brutinel.
In the face of Lake’s repeated calls for Hobbs to recuse herself, the Democrat has argued that “former secretaries of state have certified their own election wins” and that “her office does not count the votes,” according to ABC News.
In response to the certification, Lake announced to “War Room” host Steve Bannon on Monday, “We’re ready to go with what we believe to be an exceptional lawsuit. And we believe we will be victorious in that lawsuit. We’ll take it all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to. We will not stop fighting. Because the people of Arizona were disenfranchised.”
The Trump-backed Republican contender has five days from the certification of the election to formally challenge its results. (Read more)

- Thank You, Lord, for this upcoming lawsuit challenging the results of this election certified by the candidate who won! In this current atmosphere of distrust of the voting process in America, especially in this highly contentious race, we pray that Ms. Lake will be successful in bringing to light all irregularities and that this exposure will bring more honest elections in the future. Lord, send angels to speed along this suit and bring success to her efforts.

Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle have been awarded lucrative cloud contracts valued at up to $9 billion in total, the U.S. Department of Defense
(DoD) announced on Dec. 7.
The contracts were awarded to the four tech companies to help build the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC), which will replace the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) and effectively streamline cloud computing for the U.S. military and make it more resilient.
In a news release,the DoD said, “The purpose of this contract is to provide the Department of Defense with enterprise-wide, globally available cloud services across all security domains and classification levels, from the strategic level to the tactical edge.” “The Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability will allow mission owners to acquire authorized commercial cloud offerings directly from the Cloud Service Providers contract awardees,” it added.

4. Can You Guess What Percentage of Americans are Having Trouble Paying Their Grocery Bills? - The Economic Collapse Blog
For the first time in decades, the cost of food has become a major issue in America. If rapidly rising food prices are not a problem for you, then you should be very thankful, because most of the country is really hurting right now. The cost of food has been going up much faster than our paychecks have throughout 2022, and this week Walmart CEO Doug McMillion publicly admitted that double-digit price increases for packaged foods “are going to be with us for a while”. This is a crisis that isn’t going away, and as you will see below, it appears that things will get even worse in 2023.
But even though I am constantly writing about our deteriorating economic conditions, even I was absolutely stunned by the results of a new survey that was just released. More than two-thirds of Americans are having a hard time affording groceries as food costs continue to soar, according to new data.
Retail technology platform Swiftly reported Wednesday that 69% of shoppers say they are struggling to pay their grocery bills after months of persistently sky-high inflation, and 83% currently rely on some form of coupons or loyalty program to put food on the table, according to its True Cost of a Grocery Shop survey.
If this poll is accurate, that means that almost 70 percent of all Americans are having trouble paying their grocery bills right now.
That is crazy! (Read more)

- HEAVENLY FATHER, Americans need help providing food for their families. The cost is rising with no end in sight. Empower more people to grow their own, give us ideas to help each other obtain good quality food with fair pricing. AMEN & AMEN

5. Highly Decorated US Military Officer Resigns in Protest of COVID Vaccine Mandate – Pandemic.news
A highly decorated member of the United States military has resigned in protest of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine mandate enforced by the Department of Defense (DOD).
After serving the U.S. military for almost two decades, Lieutenant Colonel Bradley Miller quit his post due to the Pentagon’s reckless and illegal vaccine mandate.
“I left the Army with my integrity intact and my oath to the Constitution unbroken,” said Miller, who led a battalion in the 101st Airborne Division and a graduate of the Army’s School of Advanced Military Studies.
Miller responded with a strong counterstatement when Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin released the order mandating the COVID mRNA vaccine
“I believe the vaccines are both unnecessary and dangerous. I believe they represent far more of a risk to individual and collective readiness than the COVID-19 virus against which they ostensibly guard. Therefore, I believe the more responsible decision that I could make for the health of myself and those around me is to refuse to take the vaccines. I have never refused a vaccine required by the Army before, and have received many vaccines over the years,” Miller said.
In spite of being a couple of months away from qualifying for a pension, Miller resigned in protest of the Pentagon’s mRNA mandate. (Read more)

- Dear GOD, Please be with Lt. Col. Bradley Miller as he sacrifices the end of his career in protest of the mandated Covid-19 vaccination. Watch over and protect the entire Miller family, send wisdom and a new career. AMEN & AMEN

6. Secret CDC Report: Since the Launch of Operation Warp Speed, at Least 1.1 Million Americans Have “Died Suddenly” – Pandemic.News
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has quietly confirmed that at least 1.1 million Americans have “died suddenly” ever since Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines” were introduced under Operation Warp Speed.
Since the time when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted emergency use authorization (EUA) for the jabs, more than six million Americans total have died. Of this, 1,106,079 deaths are considered to be “excess,” based on the five-year average from 2015 to 2019.
Other government data confirms that mortality rates per 100,000 people are highest among the “fully vaccinated” population, suggesting covid injections are the cause of all this excess mortality. (Related: The CDC has been removing covid jab injury and death reports from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System [VAERS].)
We have the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEC) to thank for all this data, which is doing the work that the CDC and the FDA refuse to do by actually spelling it all out for the public to see.
An intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries, the OEC was founded in 1961 to “stimulate economic progress and world trade.” Part of what the group does is compile data and extrapolate it in an easy-to-digest format.
People really started dying AFTER the jabs were released, not before. (Read more)

- Dear FATHER, We ask you to physically save people from the Covid-19 vaccine. So many people young & old have succumbed to sudden death because of this experimental drug. AMEN & AMEN

7. Don’t Shed on me: The Covid “Vaccinated” Are a Health Threat to the Unvaccinated Warns Dr. Peter McCullough – NewsTarget
Is it possible as an unvaccinated person to become contaminated with covid chemicals through exposure to others who have been jabbed? The answer is yes, according to Dr. Peter McCullough.
In a recent interview with Action Canada’s Tanya Gaw, McCullough discussed the risks that covid “vaccinated” people pose to the “unvaccinated.” In a nutshell, he likened the situation to non-smokers inhaling the second-hand smoke of smokers.
Citing a paper
recently published in the TMR journal Infectious Diseases Research, McCullough shared details about how messenger RNA (mRNA) can transfer from the fully jabbed to the unjabbed since these chemicals persist in the blood for at least two weeks – and likely much longer – post-injection.
Another study recently published found that mRNA remains in the lymph nodes of the fully jabbed for months, which further backs McCullough’s claims. There is also another recent medical study that McCullough called the “most disturbing” that shows mRNA poisons can transfer from breast milk to babies. “It seems the body can’t clear it,” McCullough stated soberly.
Do mRNA poisons stay in the body permanently? McCullough thinks so.
If an unvaccinated person gets close to a vaccinated person, either through sexual activity or even just kissing, the so-called “vaccine” can transfer through this route as well.
It is currently unknown how long an unvaccinated person should wait before engaging in this type of contact with a vaccinated person. In McCullough’s estimation, these poisons could remain for years, or maybe even permanently, making the fully jabbed an indefinite public health risk. (Read more)

- We choose to forgive those who are trying to “depopulate and enslave the world” through various means, especially the covid virus and mRNA vaccines, and ask for supernatural immunity from the shedding phenomena for Your people. Please send more and more laborers into the Harvest, and we pray in earnest for the already “jabbed” to receive supernatural healing that clears their systems of any trace of the mRNA particles. Lord, we ask that You deliver us from the evil one and his evil minions and bring salvation through Yeshua to the lost.
Abba, we seem to be so close to the “fullness of time” and believe we will soon see You coming in the clouds for Your Bride. May we be ever so alert and aware of the times and have Your insight and wisdom in knowing what to do.
- "You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful people who will be able to teach others also. Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus." (II Timothy 2:1-3)

8. Political Prisoner Ryan Samsel Warned by Authorities – FBI, Prison Staff Outraged Gateway Pundit is Telling Horrific Stories of J-6 Prisoner Abuse – The Gateway Pundit
On Wednesday, US political prisoner Ryan Samsel called The Gateway Pundit to tell us he has lost his phone privileges for six months starting tomorrow. The prison staff is outraged that The Gateway Pundit has exposed his horribly abusive story to the American public. Ryan, who has not even had his case tried in court and has sat in prison for nearly two years, has been beaten, hogtied, abused, tied to a chair for 12 hours, and denied medical treatment for his injuries and his precancerous growths.
On March 21, 2021, after his arrest, Ryan was awakened by correctional officers and his hands were zip-tied. Then they walked him to an unoccupied cell where he was brutally beaten by the officers. Ryan Samsel lost an eye in the beating. His face was smashed. The next day the guards beat him again.
Ryan was beaten so badly by the guards that he lost permanent vision in one eye and partial use of his arm.
Ryan is one of several January 6 prisoners who have been held for nearly two years in prison without ever being convicted of a crime.
Ryan told The Gateway Pundit on Wednesday, the prison officials told him this week, “Your stuff with Gateway Pundit has to stop.” (Read more)

- Father God, we have no words to describe our horror and shock at the torture and deprivation suffered by Ryan Samsel in four different United States’ prisons since his arrest with no trial. We thank You for the Gateway Pundit and Editor/Founder Jim Holt who had the guts to publish the truth about the treatment of the January 6 prisoners, particularly Ryan Samsel. Bless him!!! May more and more media outlets run fearlessly with this news and cause the American public to demand the prisoners’ rights be upheld and reparations awarded for their injuries of body, mind, and spirit.
Lord, we pray that You invite people to donate to Ryan’s GiveSendGo account so he might receive essential medical treatment (not provided by the prison system!) and to contact elected officials. May justice finally be served! Ultimately, we ask for Your salvation for all involved.
- "Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering." (Hebrews 13:3)

9. Frustration Swirls in House GOP Over McCarthy Speakership Opposition – The Hill
Frustration and anxiety are bubbling up among House Republicans over opposition to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for Speaker from a small group of hard-line conservative GOP members that threatens to keep him from the gavel.
McCarthy allies lined up at the mics to voice support for him at an internal House Republican Conference meeting on Tuesday. And they are starting to trade barbs with the McCarthy opponents: “We’re not going to be held hostage,” Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said.
“This Conference cannot handcuff itself to a burning building before we gavel in the 118th Congress,” Republican Governance Group Chairman Dave Joyce (R-Ohio) said in a statement. (Read more) |

name, amen and amen.
- "Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."

Not Gonna Take It Anymore
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, December 8, 2022
According to various news reports, some 45 percent of United Methodist Conference (UMC) churches in Texas have left the oversight of the conference due to heretical stances on homosexuality and abortion. This is an indicator that Christians, at least in the Methodist denomination, are starting to wake up to the “woke” culture that goes against the Word of God. The Texas Tribune reports that last weekend “The Northwest Texas Annual Conference of United Methodist Churches started like a regular church service. Participants sang, took communion, then prayed before voting to split from the United Methodist Church, the nation’s second-largest Protestant denomination.” Hundreds more churches are expected to follow.
Methodist churches in Arkansas and Indiana also have voted to leave the UMC this year. Many of the departing churches will likely join the Global Methodist Church, which is reportedly more conservative than UMC. The schism underscores disagreement on two main issues: abortion and homosexuality. The UMC does not condemn abortion as sin. In addition, it has embraced same sex marriage and homosexual pastors. LifeNews reports, “The split, organized by more conservative church members, comes after years of infighting that stems from the UMC’s more inclusive stances when it comes to congregants and its acceptance of gay marriage, abortion and other divides that mirror, and are likely to intensify, America’s broader, ongoing polarization.” Read More

Archaeological discovery: Mosaic evidence of
Early Christianity at 'Burnt Church' near Galilee
|
|
|
Researchers have recently uncovered four new inscriptions near Galilee that showcase evidence of early Christianity at a site commonly known as the "Burnt Church."
The four inscriptions were discovered while archaeologists were cleaning Byzantine mosaics at the Martyrion of Theodoros church, located at Hippos near the Sea of Galilee, reported All Israel News late last month.
The church is also known as the "Burnt Church" because it was burned down by Persian invaders in the early seventh century.
One Greek inscription found read: “Offering in favor of salvation and succor for Urania and Theodoros. Lord God, accept! Amen! In the time of indiction 4 and year 619.”
Professor Gregor Staab of the Institute of Classical Studies at the University of Cologne in Germany said that Urania and Theodoros likely created a private chapel as a final resting place for themselves at the site. Read More

Nativity Scene Can Stay in Local Park for Now, Despite Legal Threat and Protest:
'We Refused to Take It Down'
|
|
A nativity scene that has been part of a decades-old tradition in a local Eureka Springs, Arkansas park will remain on display during this Christmas season. But whether or not it will be allowed to continue in the future remains to be seen. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports the nativity scene was sponsored every year in Basin Park by the Eureka Springs Chapter of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority since 1950. The display was put up in the park every year until 2019. The sorority donated the nativity scene to the Great Passion Play in 2021 and asked if the display could return to the park this year, according to the outlet. "We said, sure, whatever you guys want," Randal Christy, the play's executive director, said. "We're just trying to help them."
But then Christy told KWNA-TV he got a call from Mayor Robert "Butch" Berry asking him to remove the display. "We decided we're not taking it down. We refused to take it down," Christy said.
In a Facebook post, Christy explained why he refused to remove the nativity scene from the park. "Eureka Springs Mayor and City Attorney are demanding that we (The Great Passion Play) REMOVE the Nativity Scene from the city's Basin Park. We are refusing to do so. We ask for your prayers as we take a stand," Christy wrote. "Christmas is the National Holiday in recognition of the birth of Jesus Christ! The Nativity Scene has been erected since 1950 - 72 years - at Christmas time. The Passion Play puts it up for Beta Sigma Phi as a public service to the community... as a regular part of our Christmas decorations. As Executive Director of The Great Passion Play, America's #1 attended outdoor drama... I REFUSE TO TAKE THIS DOWN!!" (CBN) Read more here.

Words: Edmund Sears

Scripture: There were…shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. Luke 2:8–9
Lyrics:
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold;
Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From Heaven’s all gracious king.
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O’er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains,
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever over its Babel sounds
The blessèd angels sing.
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring;
O hush the noise, ye men of strife
And hear the angels sing.
And ye, beneath life’s crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing.
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
