BRIDGETOWN, Barbados- Barbados Prime Minister Mia A. Mottley has been listed among Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2022, appearing on one of the five global covers released on Monday, May 23, 2022.

'Bold & fearless'

The magazine said Mottley is a bold and fearless icon in her country who possesses intellect and wit.

It described her as a brilliant politician who knows how to shake things up.

“From poverty to debt to climate change, she is a vocal advocate on the world stage for responsible stewardship of our planet, so that nations large and small and people rich and poor can survive and thrive together,” it said of Mottley.

The announcement follows Mottley's delivery at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, where she chided the world's leaders for not working more diligently to limit the potentially catastrophic impacts of climate change, telling them to try harder. 

Barbados icon

At that time, Simpson Miller was said to be the embodiment of perseverance and strength.

    A woman leader is what this territory needs. None of these wannabes politicians in the BVI can never accomplish what Mia has accomplished for her Country. She is a force to be reckon with. Never underestimate the power of a woman.

    Do you all think that this woman is nice? She is up to nothing good in Barbados. She said that she loves the Pope and it seems that she is willing to do his bidding. Ask the people of Barbados about her. She is ready to introduce Barbados into the National Sunday Law and she has already introduced that wicked METAVERSE. Please get into your bibles, pray and ask God for guidance when it comes to these wicked world leaders.

      It is the Mark of the Beast spoken of in Revelation Chapter 13 where those who are alive at the time will not be able to buy or sell save he that hath the Mark or the number of his name. Revelation is a symbolic book. Only the Seventh-Day Adventists will be able to tell you more about it. It is coming, it is right now in the making.

      Revelation 13
      King James Version
      13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

      2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

      3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

      4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

      5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

      6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

      7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

      8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

      9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

      10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

      11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

      12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

      13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

      14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

      15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

      16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

      17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

      18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

      A Beast in Bible Prophecy is a Nation

      The First Beast (Nation) of Revelation 13 is the Papacy(Rome)
      The Second Beast (Nation) of Revelation 13 is The United States of America

      The National Sunday Law(Mark of the Beast) will be over Worship. Who will you worship? He who created the world in six days and rested on the 7th day (Saturday)? or will you worship the Pope (The catholic church) would changed the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday?

      Ask God to help you to know the truth because we all will have to make the decision in the time of the end.

      God bless.
