(LifeSiteNews) — Two observances — Easter and the recently contrived “International Transgender Day of Visibility” — fall on Sunday, March 31 this year, causing some to wonder “Is Easter being replaced with the ‘Transgender Day of Visibility?’”
It’s a valid question. For more than a few, it certainly will.
Others might dismiss this as nothing more than a coincidence. That would be a mistake.
On the last day of this month, we will witness a clash of religions as a demonic, cultish secular religion dares to intrude on the greatest feast day in Christendom, using a lie to distract the attention of lost souls from the most significant truth known to man: the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Depravity on the rise, starving humanity of the truth of the Gospel
This collision of religions appears to be a climactic Romans 1 moment. St. Paul explained:
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools… They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator… they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind.
Do not underestimate the will and force of Satan to supplant Christianity with this perverse woke religion through which he seeks to eclipse truth. His aim is to starve humanity of the truth of the Gospel.
This is, perhaps, a pivotal moment in the history of the United States, one that reveals the determination of many social influencers — including national and local governments — to reject reality and embrace delusion in the name of totalitarian power under the dominion of Satan.
This attack on the truth of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is nothing new, although this current effort is more brazen and far less subtle than previous demonic forays. Go online and check out all the March 31 “holidays” with which Easter will be shared this year. It is just one of many, with no particular importance assigned to it. It’s given no more weight than “International Taco Day” or “National Bunsen Burner Day.”
Even NBC’s Today Show has Easter wedged between “Crayola Crayon Day” and “Eiffel Tower Day.”
For many, Easter means colored hard boiled eggs and bunny rabbits, hardly life-changing truths.
Secular society has long been happy to treat Easter as nothing special, disparaging it by assigning it as just one of many PR-created observances.
But International Transgender Day of Visibility is different from all these others, because it’s a holy day for a societal movement that is increasingly revealing itself to be a religion, a cult that is trapping more and more souls who disfigure their bodies to display their allegiance to the cult.
If Ba’al and Moloch failed to inspire parents to sacrifice their kids to evil via abortion, at least now those demon generals can drive parents to offer their children up in a different way, handing them over to the high priests of Big Pharma and Big Medicine who willingly carve, mutilate, and chemically disfigure their bodies. In a way, this can be seen as a demonic ridicule of the wounds Christ endured during His scourging.
Government is ‘intentionally trying to offend Christians on the holiest of days’
As if to prove the point that secular governments want to replace the truth about the Resurrection of Christ with the cult of transgenderism, Fairfax County, Virginia — a wealthy close-in suburb of Washington, D.C. — proclaimed March 31 as “Transgender Day of Visibility” while offering no such declaration concerning Easter.
The county’s Board of Supervisors voted 9-0 in favor of the proclamation.
“By voting to make Easter this year Transgender Visibility Day, they are intentionally trying to offend Christians on the holiest of days by forcing gender ideology down their throats,” Stephanie Lundquist-Arora, a Virginia mom and the Fairfax chapter leader of the Independent Women’s Network, told Fox News.
William E. Wolfe, executive director at the Center for Baptist Leadership, describedthe county’s move as “the new state-enforced religion.”
Yet the Fairfax Board of Supervisors is only doing what President Joe Biden did a year ago when he declared, “(I), by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2023, as Transgender Day of Visibility.”
What an amazing contortion of our founders’ original intent when they authored the U.S. Constitution!
A coup against reality
We are witnessing a coup against reality — against science and nature, and, above all, spiritual truth — as liberal elites seek to establish and enforce a false construction of reality, an ideological pseudo-reality to replace observable, knowable truth.
