Canada's Parliament has officially passed Bill C-9, removing the legal protection that allowed Canadians to freely express sincere religious beliefs drawn from scripture, including the Bible's teaching on homosexuality — the bill now awaits Royal Assent to become law. This marks a significant escalation in state-level suppression of Christian expression in a Western democracy, reflecting the prophesied end-times hostility toward those who hold to the Word of God. Scripture warned that a time would come when sound doctrine would not be tolerated and that believers would face legal persecution for their faith, as foretold in 2 Timothy 4:3 and Revelation 12:17.
