The final day of Judgment comes after the controversial time of the thousand years. On this day God will be seated on his throne and will Judge all. If your name is not found written in the Book of Life, you would be thrown in the lake of burning sulphur. Thus the non-believers and the souls of the ones who bowed down to the beast will be thrown in the lake of burning Sulphur. The only names that would be found written in the Book of Life are the names of the Raptured Church and the names of the souls that didn’t bow down to the beast. This will be rewarded and will live with the Lord in the New Jerusalem.
John describes that big day. Rev. 20:11 “Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it, Earth and sky fled from His presence. And I saw the dead great and small standing before the throne and books were opened. Another book was opened, which was the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone’s name was not found written in the Book of Life he was thrown in the lake of fire.”
Accept Jesus today and avoid the second death in the fiery lake of fire. Be raptured along with the rest of the church and receive your rewards from God himself! Through his grace, we His bride will stand before our bridegroom Jesus and give him our dowry, the things we have done in His name. This works will never buy your way into heaven but we offer them in love, as gifts from a loving church to a waiting Savior. And for your efforts you may receive as many as 6 crowns:
* the crown for those who love His appearance ( 2 Timothy 4:8)
* the crown for enduring trials ( James 1:12)
* the crown for those willing to feed the flock ( 1 Peter 5:2-4)
* the crown for those who are faithful unto death ( Revelation 2:10)
* the crown for those who win souls ( 1 Thessalonians 2:19)
* the crown for those who master the old nature ( 1 Corinthians 9:24-25)
Also read the following about what had been written on Judgment day by the prophet Isaiah and by the disciple Paul ( Isaiah 65:11-12, Romans 14:12, Hebrews 9:27).
As we draw close to Thanksgiving, it is natural for Americans to contemplate the Pilgrims and the occasion of the “First Thanksgiving.” I suspect that many of us immediately envision the drawings and pictures presented to us as children – pictures of happy Native Americans with even happier Pilgrims, all gathered around a large outdoor table so laden with food that it looked ready to collapse.
The real story is much more winsome, but rarely told in its fullness. That first Thanksgiving, held in October of 1621, came at the end of a horrific year of suffering and privation. I doubt that many of us today, with all our modern conveniences, can even conceive of the scene that unfolded in the lives of these men, women, and children, almost from the moment they set foot on the Mayflower. Storms battered them at sea, their first winter battered them on land, and when it was over they had lost 47 of their members. Their pain must have been great. For instance, of the 18 wives who landed at Plymouth, only five survived that first winter. Of the families who left the English coast, only three remained intact and unscathed by death after the worst winter months.
Most people would be rendered useless by vicissitudes of this magnitude. The Pilgrims, however, continued to praise and pray to God, and in March, 1621, one of many miracles walked into their small settlement. Samoset was a friendly Native American and member of a tribe in Maine. He seems to have been an intrepid adventurer, and learning about the Pilgrims he brought another Native American, named Squanto, to meet them. Squanto was a Patuxet and had been raised on the very land where the Pilgrims had settled. His remarkable story began 16 years earlier when he was kidnapped and taken to England by the explorer Captain George Weymouth. Weymouth taught English to Squanto in order to question him about the favorability of land in the New World. Squanto then spent nine years in England, and was able to return to his home across the ocean via the 1614 voyage of Captain John Smith.
Unfortunately for Squanto, Captain Thomas Hunt was part of Smith’s expedition and was tasked with remaining on Patuxet land to finalize some of Smith’s trades. After Smith left, Hunt determined that the slave trade would be the most lucrative, and grabbed twenty Patuxets – including Squanto – and sailed for Spain. They were all sold as slaves, but miraculously, local friars rescued Squanto. After leaving the friars, Squanto made his way to London, then once again to his home across the Atlantic by attaching himself to another trading expedition. He arrived in 1619, six months before the Pilgrims landed, and was heartbroken to discover that his entire tribe – every man, woman and child – had been wiped out by a plague. No one was left. Not knowing where else to go, he stayed with his adventurous friend Samoset and they both went to visit the Wampanoag tribe 50 miles to the South.
Now fast forward to March of 1621. Imagine the shock of the remaining, half-starved Pilgrims when, after a grueling and heartbreaking winter, an English-speaking Native American strolled into their little camp. Not only did he speak English, but after spending time with friars in a European monastery, Squanto must have had at least a passing understanding of Christianity. William Bradford and Edward Winslow recorded in their diaries that Squanto spent the next several months deeply engaged in teaching the entire Pilgrim settlement how to survive. He introduced them to corn and to the Native American way to plant and harvest it. He taught them when, where, and how to catch fish and eels. Squanto introduced them to beaver pelts, which became a significant form of capital for trade. In short, God provided for them richly in the most unlikely of ways. Who would have guessed that a Native American, who was kidnapped not once but twice, would be so used by God on their behalf?
Even Bradford, in his History of Plymouth Plantation, noted that when Samoset left to return to the Wampanoag, “Squanto continued with [the Pilgrims], and was their interpreter, and was a special instrument sent of God for their good beyond their expectation (111).” Thanks to Squanto’s expertise and God’s Providence, by October of that year the harvest was so plentiful that the Pilgrim’s Governor Bradford declared a day to give thanks to God. It was what we call the First Thanksgiving. Not only were the Pilgrims giving thanks, but Chief Massasoit (of the Wampanoag) brought all 90 of his warriors! And even then, God provided. Feeding so many would have taxed the stores of food that the Pilgrims were preparing for the next winter, but Massasoit’s warriors arrived with five fully dressed deer and other assorted game already prepared. Jehovah Jireh – God provides. The story does not end there, however. The next several years tell a fascinating tale that many tend to overlook. There were two more times in the next decade that the Pilgrims faced near starvation – first in 1623 and then in 1631. Both times their dire situations were not due to negligence or sloth, but to circumstances beyond their control. And in both instances, their leaders declared a day of fasting, asking God to miraculously intervene on their behalf. He did. In 1623 the Pilgrims were facing famine because of ships that had been sent to them – not with supplies, but with hungry mouths to feed. They had accepted the new settlers, fed them, restocked the ships, and rationed the remaining food. Finally, with their rations almost completely gone and a horrific drought gripping the land, they feared the end was near. “‘These and the like considerations,’ says Mr. Winslow, ‘moved not only every good man privately to enter into examination with his own estate between God and his conscience, and so to humiliation before Him, but also more solemnly to humble ourselves together before the Lord by fasting and prayer’.” They gathered and prayed for nine hours. Just as they ended, the sky became overcast and “on the next morning distilled such soft, sweet, and moderate showers of rain, and mixed with such seasonable weather, as it was hard to say whether our withered corn or drooping affections were most quickened or revived. Such was the bounty and goodness of our God.” [Journal of the Pilgrims, 284.] Even more remarkable was Governor Bradford’s note that there was no wind or violent storm, which would most certainly have destroyed the fragile and near-starved crops. And God was glorified in yet another way. Several Native Americans were in the Pilgrim settlement, and wondered among themselves why every single colonist was at the meetinghouse, engaged in prayer – in the middle of the week! One of them, Hobbamock, found a little boy and demanded an explanation – which was given – and only hours later the soft, perfect rain began to fall. “[Hobbamock] and all [the Native Americans with him],” said Winslow, “admired the goodness of our God towards us.” What a mighty God we serve!
The other day of fasting came in 1631. Some reports say that the Pilgrims’ last loaves of bread were literally in the oven when an unexpected Irish ship arrived laden with food. In both instances, in 1623 and in 1631, the Pilgrims changed their Fast day to an official day of Thanksgiving. So the story of the First Thanksgiving is not just about eating and making merry. In its proper context, taken with a view of the first decade of the Pilgrim settlement, it is a far more beautiful story of praise, provision, and perseverance. The Pilgrims knew that fasting and praise are two strong pillars that we as Believers may use to express our faith in a mighty God.
Dear friends, as you and your families celebrate Thanksgiving this year, take some time apart to consider these Pilgrims and the courage their lives represented. Not just at their First Thanksgiving when times were good, but their deep and abiding commitment to fasting, prayer, and praise even when times were desperate. These men, women and children were well acquainted with Scripture and they followed the examples set before them in ages past. I pray that when our own trials advance, we may do likewise.

God’s final plan and hope for every human race is to be with him forever. Whoever believes in the King of Kings will live with him in his holy city Jerusalem. Hebrews 11:10 calls this city “the city which has foundations whose builder and maker is God.”
After the Millennium, once Satan and his followers have been banished to the lake of fire, God will destroy the present world. Judgment is passed and a new heaven and earth will be made. Then out of this new heaven, from God the New Jerusalem will descend.
Rev. 21:1-27″ I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem coming out of heaven from God, prepared as a new bride beautifully prepared for her husband. And I heard a loud voice saying ‘now the dwelling of God is with men and he will live with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.’ …”
The following of Revelations and Ezekiel 39 onwards (chapters 40-48) describes this glorious city. It is a city that shines with the glory of God, with brilliance of a very precious jewel- clear as crystal. It has high walls and twelve gates and angels will stand at each gate. (Rev. 21:22) This gates will never be shut as there is no night there and on the twelve gates are written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Rev. 22:1-6 The river of the water of life will flow from the throne of God and of the lamb, down the middle of the great city. No longer will there be any curse. His servants will see God’s face and serve him, His name will be written on their foreheads. There will be no more night and light won’t be from a lamp or the sun for the lord God will be their light. The chosen ones whose name is written in the Book of Life will reign with him for ever and ever. They will be the only ones to enter this holy city. Rev. 21:27 “nothing impure will enter.”
Let us wait in faith for God’s word to unfold, “for the lord is not slow in keeping his promise” 2 Peter 3:9-10
Glory be to the King!!!

The period know as The Millennium, in biblical terms is the thousand year reign of Christ here on earth. Millennium comes from the Latin word mille, which means a thousand and annum which means year. This period of time is very controversial because it is only found in the book of Revelations and is only mentioned once. (Read Rev. 20:1-6)
At this period Satan is tied and is thrown in prison where he wouldn’t be able to deceive nations. After this 1000 year period he will be released again for a short while and he goes out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth – Gog and Magog and gathers them for battle. Here they march across to God’s city. But they are killed by fire and Satan is finally thrown into the lake of burning sulfur.
Rev. 20:7-10 “When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth — Gog and Magog — to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”
We often think of The Battle of Armageddon as a short battle that occurs at the end of the Tribulation, but this is only part of the picture. It is a long campaign by the Anti-Christ to fend off challenge after challenge, to his world rule. Even though the final actual battle is fought at the plains of Armageddon, the build up takes a long 3 1/2 years.
The Plains of Armageddon are a strategic plateau overlooking northern Israel and the southern Syrian plains. It is a critical military point, a towering 480 square miles. The world’s most natural battlefield! One guiding principle in warfare is to ‘take the high ground’. Whoever owned the this area could make all of Israel a literal ‘killing field’. That is why this area is now heavily guarded by the Israelis.
In the world now the Satanic Trinity is at large. The Satanic trinity; Satan (the dragon), the Anti-Christ (the beast) and the false prophet will stir up exactly as much trouble as God allows them to and they will experience exactly as much difficulty and punishment as God intends. It is all according to His plan and it will be fulfilled as the prophesies had said.
The Anti-Christ and Satan (the dragon) will have dominated the world. Buying and selling wouldn’t be possible without Satan’s mark and anyone who wouldn’t worship the image of the beast in Jerusalem would be killed (read Rev. 13:15-18). But not everyone will accept this. He will be greatly opposed. Firstly the muslim world over the desecration of the Dome of the Rock are still angry and want to regain their holy place. Secondly the Anti-Christ has setup an image of a beast in their holy place and was practicing a religion which contradictory to the book of Islam, the Quran. The Anti-Christ at this time is also too powerful to be left alone. He is too untrustworthy to be allowed to continue to grow in power without a future possibility of a conflict with him. If this happened they would risk loosing their Oil fields so he has to be stopped now! They will do whatever possible to pry his hand off their Middle Eastern Oil. They start gathering all their forces for war! The campaign leading to Armageddon will be set in motion.
The King of the North (Russia) and the King of the South (who controls the Islamic confederation and the nations of Ethiopia, Libya, Iran) after their massive defeat earlier rebuild and draw out their vast resources of men and fighting force available. This is just one battle they have to win! But this big nations won’t be alone in the ‘cleansing of Jerusalem’. They have more help for fighting beside them will be the Kings of the East. This new great army, the Bible says will be 200 million strong. Rev. 9:16- “The number of the mounted troops was 200 million….Their breastplates (armor) were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The head of the horses resembled the head of lions and out of their mouths came fire smoke and sulfur.”
There are many millions Muslims, zealous for their faith living in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Malaysia and Indonesia. This new Eastern Army, 200 million strong could well come from there. But there is also the massively populated nation of China and even Japan that could be interested in Middle Eastern Oil. The Bible itself doesn’t tell us why the “Kings of the East” move to confront the Anti-Christ, only that they will do so.
They will march right through the supernaturally dried bed of the river Euphrates to the very center of the Anti-Christ’s empire, Israel. They will confront at Armageddon. Rev. 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great bowl Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the Kings of the East….. The spirit of demons performing miraculous signs go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the Battle on that great day of God Almighty…. Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called ARMAGEDDON.” The Anti-Christ has already won the King of the North and South with his treachery even though it was God who actually came forth and destroyed them. But the Anti-Christ now has three new allies of his own and will be very confident to go to battle. He has Satan (the dragon), the false prophet (with his ability to call down fire from heaven) and the image of the beast (which has the power to destroy those who refuse to obey the Anti-Christ). The time was ready for that great day of battle. After hearing the news about the advancing Eastern army the Anti-Christ will advance to Armageddon to face the onslaught from the North, South and East. Yet as the arms of the world converge on Armageddon on a massive collision course their objective will suddenly change. Instead of contending with each other they will unite to fight the mighty army of the Messiah that will descend from heaven to the fields of Armageddon. To avoid Christ’s come back they will unite and fight the long foretold battle which they will totally loose. (Also read Daniel 11:36-45 about the Anti-Christ and how he looses the battle.) Matthew 24:30 “Then the sign of man will appear in heaven and then all tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
” I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse..the armies of heaven were following him on a white horses” (Rev. 19:11-21 ) Zechariah 14:1-12 “Then the lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the mount of Olives will split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountains north and half moving south. You will flee by mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel….Then the lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. It will be a unique day, without daytime or nighttime — a day known to the Lord. When evening comes, there will be light. …….. This is the plaque with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem:Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.” Rev.14:20 declares that the blood from this battle will rise up to the horse’s bridal’s for a distance of 1600 stadia (approximately 200 miles) the full length of the battle field. When the actual battle site measured from the northern part of Palestine to the southern boundaries it was found to be approximately 200 miles, just as it was foretold in the prophesies! Armageddon will be bathed with blood and the Bible has predicted it to the last length of the Battlefield!!! The Anti-Christ will finally be done and over with! His boastful deceitful tongue will be silenced forever. Rev. 19:20 “but the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf … The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.” THE VICTORY IS THE LORD”S. Amen!
In fact the world will commend this actions. Thus you can see even today that the stage is being set for people based on their hatred for Christians–which is why during the Tribulation this whorish religion called Babylon will be able to kill Christians by the thousands and advance perversion, yet still be regarded as the quintessential guardian of faith and morality. In the first half of the tribulation Babylon will be the religion’s high priestess. As the AntiChrist comes, this Babylon will be his only opposition that will hold him from ruling the world. He will therefore launch a swift coup d’etat against this planet-wide interlocking system. He will have accumulated enough power to eliminate Babylon and he is very successful, at destroying this Babylonian system. Rev 17:12-13,16 “And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the Harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.” (Also read Rev. 18 on Babylon’s destruction)
But what the AntiChrist does not realize is that God has sovereignty moved to give him the ability to overthrow the Babylonian system and that soon it will be the his turn to experience a judgment that is so swift, total and dreadful: “For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their Kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled” (Rev. 17:17). Once the AntiChrist has eliminated Babylon, he will move in with alacrity to fill the void with his own system. But now most importantly the Jews are insulted by the AntiChrist’s take over of Jerusalem and his setting up of his image in their holy temple (read Rev.13:15). Their heart has been softened to God as he had come to their help and had laid their enemies before their eyes.
Now the Jews will attempt an assignation and they will succeed! The AntiChrist is pronounced dead! Rev.13:3 “one of the heads of the beast seemed to have a fatal wound.” But the AntiChrist after associating with Satan himself comes back to life in front of the whole world. His fatal wound miraculously heals. Probably this is seen on CNN and the whole world will be amazed. Rev.:13:3-7 “…but the Fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Men worshipped the dragon(Satan) because he(the AntiChrist) had given authority to the beast and they also worshipped the beast and asked who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?……He (The AntiChrist) was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them (they had tried to kill him and he will revenge). And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitant of the earth will worship the beast.” Here God warns not to bow to the image for those who will be left behind after the church has been raptured. This is their second chance to accept christ! They must watch out, or else when christ comes for the last time in Armageddon, they will be killed and be thrown in the lake of fire along with Satan and the AntiChrist (Read Rev. 14:9-10). This will be the second and final death. They can only prove themselves worthy by enduring the hardship that cometh and by not bowing down to satan! Rev.13:10 “If anyone is to go to captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints(the ones’s that have accepted Jesus after the Rapture).”
Now lets go back and look at the way the AntiChrist sets up his world domination, immediately after he overthrows Babylon. It is done by a one world government, one world economy and a one world religion that would eventually focus it’s worship on the AntiChrist himself. One World Government The false man of peace will “devour the whole earth” Dan7:23. He will rule them by their own agreement and with absolute, total authority (Dan 11:36). His personality will be persuasive subtlety and craft, “his mouth will speak pompous words” (Dan. 7:8) and is a “master of intrigue” (Dan.8:23). One World Economy The AntiChrist’s Economy will be a cash less society and one in which he could control every financial transaction. “He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their heads, so that no one may buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast (the AntiChrist) or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666” Rev.13:16-18. This AntiChrist’s rise like said before, is likely to be from the Europenian (European) Union who are now striving for a universal monetary system. It is of course well known that they already have a Common Market.
The ECC (European Economic Community) now known as the Union, at the moment is playing a part in Europe in trying to develop a political and economic unity. With 15 strong members it has it’s own blue flag with yellow stars, making a circle. As the AntiChrist sets foot in Europe he sure will make use of this introductory system. His system will only be different in that he will add his own one world religion, Satan worship. One World Religion George Washington had once said “it is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible.” The AntiChrist slowly adds his own religion; himself. Rev.13:15 “He will set up his image in Jerusalem and all who refuse to worship him will be murdered.” Jesus had confirmed this. Jesus had said, Matthew 24:15 “When you see the ‘abomination of the desolation’ spoken by the prophet Daniel (the setting up of the beast in the temple) let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains..for them there will be great distress unequalled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equal again.” The world is under the rule of the AntiChrist and for now he will devour it as he likes!
You will advance against against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In the days to come, O Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I show myself Holy through you before their eyes.” Ezek. 38:18-23 “This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord. In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man’s sword will be against his brother. I will execute judgment upon him with plaque and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulphur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. And so I will show my greatness and my holiness and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” God will strike the enemy and they will be left for the beasts of the earth–birds and wild animals to feast on, read the rest of Ezek.ch39.
God doesn’t exactly tell us how many will be dead but he tells us how many will be left: only a “sixth part” (39:2 kjv). That means that the casualty rate for this battle will be 84 percent, unheard of in modern ware fare. An almost total be wipe out! The dead bodies of the invaders will be strewn in the fields and mountains of Israel and the burial will take 7 months and will involve all the people of Israel. (read the rest of Ezekiel for the long burial details) On that day God will have testified to his beloved Jewish people who have turned from him. He will have proved to them that he alone is their God by coming to their aid once again. Note here very carefully that the Jewish people at this point have yet to accept Jesus as their Messiah.
The Bible is very clear that this will happen at the end of the Tribulation, when christ will come to fight at the Battle of Armageddon. That is when the Jewish people who will remain living look upon Him and cry! Jesus speaks ” ‘they will look on Me whom they pierced.’ Yes, they will mourn for Him as one grieves for a firstborn” Zech. 12:10. That will be the day when “all Israel will be saved” Rom. 11:26. Now, because of this cataclysmic battle that their God has delivered them from, the nation of Israel will abandon it’s disastrous relationship with the AntiChrist. They will begin turning toward the Most High God. The AntiChrist after the war immediately begins to show his face. The forces of the North and South had been shattered by God but he is safe and comes out of hiding. He had failed to come to Israel’s aid and therefore avoided exposing his military to danger. Now not only are these invading forces weakened but with casualty rates of 84% , their capacity to wage war or even defend themselves simply doesn’t exist for the moment. It is now time to set up his kingdom.
Not only is the AntiChrist cunning in his ability to form alliances and tricking nations by breaking alliances but his power is also due in no small measure to the patronage he enjoys from this Babylon System described for us in Rev. 17&18. This system is a planet-wide interlocking system of religion and commerce. It will be the dominant force in the world throughout the first half of the Tribulation. She ( the country) will have ruled all the nations of the world as well as over the AntiChrist and his European federation, which is signified in the book of Revelation by Babylon sitting on top of the nations and then specifically the AntiChrist and his federation (read rev.17:1-3). Her influence over the world stems from her complete dominance of two major areas: religion and commerce. The way is already being paved for this kind of world-wide religious system by central beliefs like: >Every practice must be permitted, for we must not judge anyone! >Every belief must be respected, for we must not be bigoted towards anyone! >Every form of expression must be allowed, for we must not censor anyone! Everyone of this expressions have a important exceptions behind them..”anyone except Christians.” It will be perfectly acceptable to judge Christians, to be prejudiced towards Christians, and to censor Christians.
