Canada Bans Prayer at Military Ceremonies Under New 'Spiritual Reflections' Policy

The Canadian Armed Forces has officially banned religious language, references to God, and public prayer at military ceremonies including Remembrance Day, replacing them with mandatory secular 'spiritual reflections.' This represents a significant escalation in state-backed suppression of Christianity in the West, a pattern Scripture warns will intensify in the last days as governments increasingly marginalize faith in the public square. Jesus warned that before His return, believers would face growing hostility from governing authorities, and Paul wrote that a spirit of lawlessness and apostasy would precede the end — the systematic erasure of God from national institutions is a measurable marker of that trajectory.
