Those who followed our posts may have noticed we expected Trump to win the recent US election not because he was 'good' for Christians or America, but because he supported the direction expected by prophecy in relationship to the traders of Britain and India, Europe, Russia and Israel and the Arabs.
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. (Daniel 4:17)
'For now we see through a glass, darkly'
We observe where power sits and ponder its import as to the work of the Hands of God (Psalm 28:5). We can see 'as in a glass darkly' things revealed in God's plan before they happen (1 Cor 13:12), seeing what will happen in general, but not always the detail until after it fully plays out. For example many became convinced the rise of ISIS was to bring the great war against Jerusalem, but I remember considering prophecy and suggesting to many people that ISIS would be a catalyst to change the Middle East and make it a focus of world powers and for it to be 'a hook' to bring Russia down. We never wrote on them and didn't change our view that Ezekiel 38 showed the Sunni Arabs of Sheba and Dedan facing against the Shia Iranians of Persia. Time has shown we are indeed in the era of the fulfilment of Ezekiel 38, and the expected pattern prevailed.
It was expected that Trump, among the basest of men, would win because visible signs of the zeitgeist- the spirit of the age - pointed to a significant level of support (despite polls which are not reliable). The team here have personally seen first hand irregularity in the US Edison Election Data used by the news reports. A Texas constitutional Supreme Court case was rejected without being deliberated, and in addition there were 81 court cases alleging election issues (30 still active). Excepting one instance of 1500 votes, there has not been a Court hearing the evidence, and none has grilled the thousands of eyewitness who made affidavits under oath. There were two signs made clear in hindsight, the first being Biden's surprise emergence over the more popular Sanders just as all contenders withdrew their campaigns and Biden's admission to the "most extensive and inclusive voter fra-d organisation in the history of American politics.”
So why is it important that we (and many others) had seen the future from the visible trends and still expected Trumpian policy to prevail- and yet it did not eventuate as expected? The plan of the Bible relating to the times of the nations is not centred on America but rather the Middle East and Europe, and America is not a central player at the end. What if this is because America simply is irrelevant?
The Argument for Remarkable American Absence
What the world leaders understand, from what we see, may be important as to why America is missing. Let us consider that all the world saw vast numbers protest the vote on January 6 and then a president so weak and unpopular they needed barriers, checkpoints and about twenty thousand national guard to prevent their own people from being there, protesting or causing issues. Compare that to the vast crowds at all previous inaugurations from the very beginning! So little has Trump left influencing politics they are trying to impeach him. To the shock of the world, there is significant censorship of those speaking of the issues. There is Tech censorship of Christians quoting the Bible, which has shocked many and turned them to prayer. After media and Congress undermined internationally the office of the American president for four years it cannot be restored. As they cannot show vast presidential popularity now, while dealing with a huge national debt, internal division, ongoing Antifa violence and already kowtowing weakly to international organisations, other nations know they need not follow America. They might rather tell America they are doing their own thing. We may have been right, but there is more detail to it, and it's much more complex.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1Cor. 1:25)
The Trumpian Pattern Continues
We have a new pattern in the Biden Adminstration, which defied expectation due to the open opposition to Brexit, the love of the UN, EU and NATO, unknown relationships with Russia and open unrequited positive affection for Iran. Therefore there are two ways to see events. It may be that for a time events go to another pattern, to return back to the expected pattern whether in a return of Trump or another. In the same way we knew Britain would not be with the EU, despite entering the EEC and despite the Berlin Wall being buttressed, Russia would unite with Germany. Or it may be that the pattern is set, Trump has done enough and the time left for the nations is very short. We would hope the latter is true. In any case the known desires of the Biden Harris Administration to undo what God has set in place will not prevail.
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: (Isaiah 46:10)
It would be false to say that Trump undid the Obama era. The people displaced by the Arab Spring are in Europe still. The Arab Spring and Iran deal could not be undone. Both led to the changes in Arab-Jewish relations that were encouraged and emerged fully in the Trump era. The Iran deal was of no moment as it did not reduce the hatred of Iran's leaders for America or stop their nuclear program. Trump merely exposed the reality of it. The Obama Administration's alienation of Turkey, and Turkey's rapprochement with Russia in 2016 continued into the Trump Adminstration. Trump then dramatically moved out of untenable positions in Syria (as the Arabs also did), this forced Russia into exhausting itself as Turkey and Iran's keeper. Gog of Rosh of the 'Far North' is told,
Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. (Ezekiel 38:7)
In the same way, as the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 is clear, the Arabs (descended from ancient Sheba and Dedan) will now not depart from the pattern made evident and set with Trump. They will be first to speak against Gog of Rosh the Northern invader,
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee (Gog), “Are you come to take a spoil? have you gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?” (Ezekiel 38:13)
It may be argued that America is a young lion of the Merchants, having been founded in Jamestown and on 'the rights of an Englishman'. Even in that role, they come a poor fourth in rank. Consider now that the tallest buildings will soon be in Jeddah and Dubai. There is no virtue in having the tallest building as they are all to be brought down, but it is a sign of the power of an economy. Whereas the cities of the Arabs look vibrant and prosperous, those in America look damaged and destroyed inhabited by many homeless. In a sign of the state of America the Biden inauguration practice team was sent into hiding by an explosion and fire in a homeless tent camp in DC.
In addition curiously, counter to actual expressed direction, we expect there will be no American 'success' with an Iran deal. The Iran deal was achieved with the help of Russia, China and Germany. Aryan Germany is a long time ally of Aryan Iran. Iran covers the territory of ancient Elam.
But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD. (Jer 49:39)
A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. (Isaiah 21:2)
It is proven that Iran was treacherous, not abiding by the terms of the deal. Iran did not reduce its hate of America. Now we have a new pattern. Is there is purpose in some Americans trying for an Iran deal, or is it utterly irrelevant? Already the Biden Administration seeks to have French help in getting an Iran deal and Israel is racing to put it's case against it.
The Mountains of Israel
We know that somehow Iran's weapons will not be a threat to the Jews who live on the Mountains of Israel. They will dwell in safely.
After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. (Ezekiel 38:8)
Thou (Gog) shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. (Ezekiel 38:11-12)
Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? (Ezekiel 38:14)
Consider that Joe Biden as Vice President was given Broken Glass for seeking to prevent building on those very mountains, to enforce an evacuation of Jews for a 'two state solution' despite the fact that the Bible says the Mountains are to be populated by Jews living safely- all of them without walls! There is a famous and very large concrete wall there and many security gates! It is clear that Trump's team with the Abraham Accords broke forever the power of the PA. At the moment the conditions of the prophecy cannot be seen, as the PA is already reaching out with strong hopes to the Biden Adminstration to upset Israel to continue their bloody eternal terrorist war of peace-meal division of the Holy Land. Many already believe that the 'two state solution' is dead, but the Biden Administration is holding on to the 'two state solution' to prevent Jews building on their mountains so something must occur, that is radical and miraculous. The new elections in Israel may reveal a new direction. Or there may be consequences from the fulfilling of another prophecy.
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. (Isaiah 17:1)
The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts. (Isaiah 17:3)
Can this be an outcome of the expressed desire of Harris to interfere again in Syria? The pattern may be the one we saw – that Trump's work will indeed prevail and/or that America becomes utterly irrelevant.
The Biden – Harris Adminstration effect
In discussions with various people, all have independently come to the conclusion that though we are clearly living in the amazing fulfilment of details of old testament prophecy, we may have missed the full import of Christ's Olivet prophecy. We were thinking the potential unrest of existing elements such as Extinction Rebellion and BLM in a Trump presidency was enough to fulfil our Lords prophecy:
They shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:24-28)
The times of the rule of the Gentiles over Jerusalem ended in 1967, except for the Waqf's power over the Temple Mount. Immediately subsequent to that miraculous event a famous era of protest began, so that the sea and waves began to be disturbed, but it did not reach into heaven.
After 70 years it is possible the times of the Gentiles power to interfere is completed as is shown by Israeli installation of metal detectors to deal with safety on the Temple Mount, Trump declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel and the Abraham Accords allowing Arabs from UAE and other places access while declaring the Temple Mount open to all faiths. They will still desire to interfere but find it impossible. So while, as we rightly saw, the pattern of Trump continues as we expected, added to that is another pattern. The reason a Biden presidency was a not popular choice (most voting against Trump not for Biden, as evidenced by the numbers at events) was because it promised deeply unpopular grand global policies, including gender questions, combating racism using BLM who want to reduce police power, raising taxes and eliminating cheap reliable energy. There is a potential for distress of nations and chaos that far exceed previous expectation of the fulfilment of the Olivet prophecy.
Political discourse already shows many looking with fear upon the political things coming on the earth, from fears over China to fears over global energy policy. Trump was a star and he has fallen (whether forever or not we do not know), but in the process, many lesser stars will be falling from politics as some are now realising with increasing shock. Leaders in Italy have resigned, as have those in the Netherlands. The next leader in Germany is unknown. Curiously, also, two of the stars that are falling as a result of a poor commercial decisions to remove some of their own customers are Google and Twitter. The globalists had hoped to build one united global platform, but lack of wisdom meant so many people walked, that now no one internet place has power to be all the news and influence all thought, ever again.
There was distress of nations in the era of a bipolar nuclear world, where people feared total nuclear destruction. The capacity for global nuclear annihilation has not lessened, but the world is no longer bi-polar or uni-polar. For a few years after 1989-90 fall of the Soviet Union American globalists led the 'new world order' and there was not great distress of nations, but now the power is much more diffuse with multiple nuclear powers including North Korea. The increasing terrorism from 2001 led to increasing distress, but not utter distress of nations. However a debt ridden America that has a leader who is decrepit and cannot rule it's own people, cannot restrain the nations. Brexit and Trump shook the powers of the political heavens, but that is nothing compared to the potential for shaking them now revealed in utter American weakness!
The diplomatic power of America is weak globally. For four long years to bring down Trump many of the luminaries in American politics hysterically stoked enmity with Russia, at the very time that Russia's power was growing leading them to pursue a more isolated and aggressive path. Russia's revived power was made legitimate in the Quartet on the M.E. from 2002 by Clinton and in their partnership in the Iran deal with the Obama Administration. The diplomatic power of America is reduced also ironically by the EU that America worked so hard to set up. With Britain leaving the EU, France now pushes for an army and greater union to allow the EU to be the first and greatest power of the world. It is the Biden Adminstration that begs for France's help on their desired Iran deal, not a strong America leading. Iran sensing this weakness has raised the price so high it may not be obtainable.
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. (Joel 3:9-10)
China has risen with the Globalists and Biden's own help to a position where it seeks absolute global power. China thinks it has bought American compliance to its bid for utter world power, while offending the American people. China thinks it has power over the globalists, yet it is likely the globalists think they have power over China's cheap labour. India is a rising power to rival America with access to sophisticated weapons and a formidable army, and it now stands against China. India is mentioned as the revived Tarshish in latter day prophecy. China is not seen as a leader in the upcoming action predicted in the Bible, yet they were well and truly known about (Isaiah 49:12), yet somehow they are irrelevant. Is it because they too are convulsed with issues that already have emerged because they have restricted freedom for home gatherings to worship and so declared war on the God of the Bible? Into this mix comes a renewed interfering British power protective of Hong Kong and wary of both Russia and China, that is building a formidable network of global trade.
If it is not enough that there are international issues, there are intra-national issues. The Biden Administration seeks to open the borders to illegal immigration. They have stopped building the border defence. A city is broken without walls (Prov. 25:28). For this already Texas is suing the Biden Adminstration. Due to the Supreme Court rejecting the Texas Constitutional Case many leaders are gearing up to push actively for Texas to Secede. This occurs in an environment where Britain faces Scottish, Irish and Welsh independence issues, just as the EU may fragment. Spain itself is subject to being divided, as the Basque and Catalonians seek exit. American weakness now allows the kind of chaos Christ speaks of, not just of people in protest over many things they are unhappy with, but of the very leaders of the nations in fear because of perpetual national existential crisis.
There shall be signs in the sun (leading political power), and in the moon (leading religious power), and in the stars (leaders); and upon the earth distress of nations..Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of (the political) heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21:24-28)
Many shall cry peace, as the nations in chaos pour out new weapons making wealthy the greedy.
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (1Thess 5:1-3)
It is woe
It has been pointed out that, unlike other nations, America made a covenant spoken by Washington:
It would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official Act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the Universe, who presides in the Councils of Nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the People of the United States, a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes.
Since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained. lessonsfromthefounders
One would suspect that departure from God's laws and ordinances has already brought trouble that will further increase with the Biden Administration's open rebellion against gender and morals. Biden's name in Hebrew has been read as woe Judegment! And Harris means destruction from God. We wonder now if the brakes are to be removed so that if people so desire their every imagination becomes only evil, corrupt with constant violence:
Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (Mat 24:12) But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Mat 24:37)
Before ever the nation was formed, knowing that in a permissive age it would depart God's laws, it was written there would be, “Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush:” (Isaiah 18:1) We wrote back in 2016
In a curious, and not insignificant, parallel both the Syrians and Palestinians have recently brought utter confusion and woe to US foreign policy.
Some have observed the Biden Administration's days are numbered, with the President so fragile that the day he enters office some are wondering how long he lasts. Some call it the Harris Biden presidency, others call it Obama mark two. Back in 2013 Obama had a Bible moment, where notably at the corner of the page tagged and left open by a storm we could read, “my daughters, my speech and some days be troubled you complacent women.” Read the bottom corner of the page of the Bible found and consider that the USA is personified by a woman - 'Lady liberty' – and I note the roles of Hillary, Rice and Power.
We are still waiting for the promise from the Bible left open by the storm for the President in 2013. We are waiting for the modern Assyrians to fall by the sword which isn't human, for Zion to be a fire and Jerusalem a furnace, for the King that will reign in righteousness and for the end of deceit of people called liberal but who are evil schemers who utter error against the Lord, devise wicked plans and try to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks justice.
The most remarkable sign of the American Election was the blood red sky. Without knowing we captured the feel of events months later,
We are told to watch; watch the words from the mouth of the great powers of the earth, as God is gathering them to battle. We see a blood red sky as the dark night comes, it may indeed be fair weather on the morrow, but it is so red in the blackness of the night that it seems more a sign that the heavens, the dark ruling places, are now to be bathed in blood for the controversy over Zion. The Trump parades had Israeli flags. The Democrats wish to continue the Obama-Biden policy to remove Jews from the Mountains of Zion. The forces against Zion are global. But the blood red sky was behind a sign 'the best is yet to come'.
A time of Miracles – Jesus Saves
There is one unexpected outcome of the detail of events that could not be foreseen. Despite it being a huge issue for people to come out and say it openly, one third admit to pollsters that they think Trump won. Many feel great injustice was done Constitutionally and the Republic of the rule by 'We the people' is lost. Also they feel the first amendment of the right to protest and free speech is lost (to them but not others) and many fear other Amendments they think their 'right' will be lost. Unlike other nations Americans had great pride in their Republic, and stood against kings. As our Lord is to be King, perhaps now this attitude will change. Our Heavenly Father doesn't like pride, and brings down the proud (Job 40:11-12) and causes arrogancy to cease (Isaiah 13:11), and Trump's pride is also brought down. But grace is given to those that see, and fear, and humble themselves (James 4:6)
What if the hearts of those elites in power were hardened? It was to the point where we wondered in disbelief at betrayal of those of Trump's own party in power in the States who stubbornly held untenable positions despite pressure from the people, most notably Raffensberger in Georgia who refused to share state data with the White House to cross check and confirm (or refute!) the objective research which suggested illegal votes in excess of the margin of win. There was a betrayal by Trump appointed judges not hearing cases, a majority conservative SCOTUS with no less than three Trump appointees not hearing the Texas Constitutional case and Trump's own White House lawyers obstructing anyone who would help. Then VP Mike Pence refuses to ask, in effect, for an oath on their honour for the certification of the electors and afterward he receives a gold token and not just one person, but many, call him 'Judas' (the sign of the fly at the debate with Kamala becomes significant Ecc 10:1). The elite of Trump's own party seem to have agreed that one man has to go to save 'our place and our nation' (John 11:48), and hardened their hearts.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. (Romans 9:16-18)
Our Creator never hardens hearts without then afterwards doing something miraculous to His glory alone! We saw that Trump was to be 'a target' before he was president where all two passages the first three Hebrew letters of the word Trump appeared in, spoke of Messianic suffering. We saw him increase in popularity with the ordinary people crowds of 'deplorables', misfits and sinners (most who wouldn't repent). He spoke of reform from corruption. He even spoke of healing he heard from a Jewish doctor (who lives by miracle) that others denied and sought to trap him in his words. In Christ's era of miracles that the Jewish leaders would not see, the only sign given to that wicked generation was that of Jonah. When Christ referred to the sign of Jonah, it was fulfilled in the sign of his death as a king, as a political leader. Trump has been associated with Erik Pontoppidan's mythical Kraken. Trump has politically died, his voice was erased from the electronic public sphere and we received an email titled 'Trump's demise'. He is accused of sedition, of inciting others by saying he was the elected leader (King cp Luke 23:2). His followers are to be silenced and removed from jobs (some extreme even say de-programmed). Anyone can make parallels but there are just too many things that fit the pattern, including that Trump was called Cyrus by Jews of the Temple Institute, and Cyrus is called a messiah. The Bible itself is full of the pattern of the suffering -servant or messiah fulfilled in ordinary people who are not in any way perfect or even good, such as Samson or Cyrus.
In many nations with secularism or paganism dominating, such trial of people would not lead to repentance, but America has millions that seek to varying degrees the words of prophecy. Many observed the 'Jesus Saves' signs at the Trump rally on the 6th and there were gatherings before called 'Jericho Marches' where much fervent prayer was made by large crowds, and even calls for repentance from sin. Due to fears, many we have personally observed have sought to prayer and hope of salvation in Christ's soon return. The prayer is not lessened by some Christians being removed entirely from FB social media for posting Bible verses. But the faithful may see the sign given to us in the pattern of the Messiah played out, and hope with confidence that Christ will return soon and save, not just America, but all the World. (America isn't the whole world, and if it comes to play out as we suspect it may be less relevant in the next years).
As the pattern of the messiah played out we can see Trump was not brought to power to be good for America and bring peace but instead a sword (Matt 10:34). His work was not about removing corruption for national salvation, but to raise up Zion to be a controversy. Trump is not about America but Israel. He was born to 'Frederik Christ' 'Peace ruler Messiah / Anointed' and Mary on 14 June 1946 on a Blood Moon where the earth eclipses the sun turning the moon blood red. It was exactly 700 days before Israel was born as a nation and on 20 January 2019 there a Super Blood Wolf Moon over DC at the precise mid point of Trump's presidency, after he had declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel on its 70th anniversary. On the last day, the eve of the election, the night sky was blood red.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. (Joel 2:31)
To the citizen of the Commonwealth of Israel
As Paul wrote to the Ephesians we are already redeemed to a nation of Hope (Eph 2:12). As we see the distress of nations as our Lord predicted, if we repent and prayerfully seek a right way, we do not need to fear for looking after those things which are coming on the earth when the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, (Mar 13:24)
And the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matt 24:29-31)
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh. (Luke 21:24-28)
