Life in the Last Days (Part Three): Putting the Pieces Together

–

In part one of this series, I discussed the many biblical expectations about the last days that either have been fulfilled or are currently being fulfilled. In part two, I discussed the biblical prophecies about the Antichrist and boldly made the case that Donald J. Trump fits the part about as perfectly as we could expect.

I will once again state that the contents of my first two articles—like this one—are not intended to be taken as absolute truth. I could be wrong about various aspects of this, and I am keenly aware of that.

However, I do believe that the overall case is very cogent and that—at bare minimum—the true fulfillment of these prophecies would have to look very much like the people, nations, and events described in the last two articles. If you have not read the first two articles (links above), then I strongly encourage you to do so before going on. They are much lengthier than this final article, but it was necessary to sufficiently prove what are very important points about the expectations of the last days.

In the final installment of this series, I am now going to summarize the teachings of the first two articles and put them together in a comprehensive way. Since I have made the case for all this in the first two articles (and elsewhere), I will not rehash every argument here and now. Rather, I will simply put the pieces together and leave links to other places that more deeply prove them. After doing so, I will provide a bit of guidance concerning the way that we should view these topics and how to operate in light of them.

Without further ado, let’s get to it.

The Beast and the Harlot

Daniel’s “fourth beast” (7:7-14, 19-26) and Revelation’s “sea beast” (13:1-8) are undoubtedly the same figure, and I believe the empire they point toward is one of the surest perspectives presented within this series.

The United States is the final manifestation of this figure; America is the Beast.

The US is the empire that dominates the entire earth in a way that has never been seen and likely will never be seen again. It comes in the line of Babylon and Rome, and the similarities between these three nations are absolutely striking. I made this case thoroughly in part one.

Revelation is clear that there is also a figure called the “Great Harlot,” and that she “rides” upon the Beast (17:3).

The Great Harlot was historically Jerusalem, and likely still is. Modern Israel is a satanic counterfeit that should not—nay, cannot—be confused with the OT nation. From its Masonic inception and devilish “Star of David” to its connection with the United States, Israel is simply not what most people have come to believe. It’s Israel’s connection with the US that is most pertinent to this article.

The Harlot once “rode” upon Rome, and now it rides upon the United States.

The Harlot’s partnership with the Beast cannot be missed. We may truly be seeing this unholy alliance playing out before our very eyes, and it would certainly suggest that we are living in the last days.

The Great Lie and the Delusion

Putting the life, death and resurrection of Jesus on the side for a moment, never in all of world history has an event truly affected the entire globe. Never has anything directly impacted people from all nations and radically altered their way of life. No war, natural disaster, political or economic event, or anything else, has ever done so.

And then 2020 happened.

The manufactured COVID-19 crisis took the world by storm and radically changed everyday life for most of its inhabitants. The entire globe was on the same page from the very minute the virus dropped. All at once, virtually every world leader called for lockdowns, social distancing, mask mandates, and complete obedience to the government.

As I have detailed in System of the Beast (book and video), outside of there being a virus that did cause particular demographics problems, everything else about the one and only global crisis in history was a sham: a total lie. In fact—and for the reasons mentioned—I believe it was the Lie spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:9. See this article for a deeper explanation.

COVID-19 was either the Great Lie or was far and away the closest thing we have ever seen to it. Far and away. This means that there was also a “powerful delusion” (or “deluding influence”) that caused the world to believe the Lie. There is no other explanation for how most people submitted in obedience and lapped up every absurd narrative provided to us like they were taking honey from a spoon.

It just so happens that the Lie was the product of—surprise, surprise—the Beast. Yes, the United States funded the research and creation of COVID-19 by funneling money to the Chinese lab in Wuhan and collaborating with it. Further, the US was chiefly responsible for bringing us what I have called the “Killer Jab”. Again, all this was proven in my book and video (links above).

Here, then, is another powerful connection: The Beast gave rise to the Great Lie, which was believed by the world because of the Great Delusion.

The Antichrist

If there were ever a single human being worth considering as the fulfillment of the Antichrist/Man of Sin/Son of Perdition figure—yes, the most enigmatic person in both Scripture and the human imagination—then it would be Donald J. Trump.

Whether we are evaluating his absurd arrogance, his totally unrepentant nature, the fact that he “comes in his own name,” that he is the most prominent leader of the Beast (US), that he is the foremost proponent of the Great Harlot (Israel), and all the other things covered in part two, Trump fits the bill unlike anyone else on earth (and in history).

Of special note is that Trump was one of the key figures in what I believe to be the fulfillment of 2 Thessalonian 2’s Great Lie and its associated Delusion. That is, the entire COVID-19 agenda. Donald Trump was right in the middle of all of it, particularly his role in Operation Warp Speed and the lethal injections.

Trump is also the greatest US champion that counterfeit Israel has ever experienced. He is virtually worshipped by many within the country, and in very obvious ways. In Trump, we see the clearest picture of what the Antichrist would look like and perhaps does look like. As with COVID-19 and the Great Lie/Delusion, if Trump is not the Antichrist then he gives us the closest look at what he will be like.

Can it really be a coincidence that Trump fits the many descriptions of the Antichrist to near perfection, and that he was instrumental in the Lie/Delusion, and that he is tightly connected to the Great Harlot, and that he comes from the Beast (US)?

I think not.

Connecting the Dots

Though I have not spent significant time discussing the role of the “false prophet”—or Revelation’s “beast from the earth” (13:11)—I have discussed it elsewhere.

It takes a great deal of unpacking, but my overall opinion for some time has been that the Papacy best fits this description. The reason this would involve a lot of unpacking, and another series of articles probably, is that its relationship to the Beast and the Antichrist is more difficult to navigate. There is no question whatsoever—in my mind—that the Papacy “looks like a lamb but speaks like a dragon” (13:11).

Though I have no doubt about the evils of the Papacy and the overall Catholic system, I will be honest in saying that matching it to Revelation’s “earth beast” is a more painstaking process than I have time for here.

With this said, I have put together an image that will hopefully connect the dots of what I have been discussing in the last two articles. This will give you the clearest explanation—in visual form—of how I see all this playing out today. This shows the relationship between all the major players and events, and how this is potentially playing out in real time before our very eyes.

 Please have a look.

Parting Thoughts

Though I have said much within these three connected articles, this has by no means been an exhaustive list of things.

For example, I did not touch upon the issues of the Rapture, the Millennial Reign, the greatest heresies of our time, how the end will resemble the “days of Noah,” and certain other events connected to the last days. (If you click on the hyperlinks, you can see my treatment of each issue)

An entire book could be written on these matters (and it is in progress!). However, I trust that I have shown that nearly every expectation provided to us in Scripture concerning the last days is clearly visible in our world today.

In my estimation, the stage is clearly set.

I am fully aware that some of this requires speculation, and elements of my teachings could either be off or incomplete. What I do know is that seeing the puzzle pieces is more important than knowing where they all fit. That is, we don’t need to know how all this fits together or even exactly what roles each actor might play: not to perfection, at least.

As long as we are aware of these great evils and understand their basic association, then we will clearly see the picture come together as the last days continue to unfold.

This is crucial. We cannot be disillusioned into thinking that “the end can’t come soon,” or that “there’s no way Trump is the Antichrist,” or that “America cannot possibly be the Beast!” I have already shown that the shoes seem very much to fit. Any student of the Bible would have to admit that, even if they are not the final manifestations of these figures, there are very strong reasons to entertain these ideas; there are striking commonalities.

Therefore, I urge you to have an open mind and continue to research these issues for yourself. If you believe I am wrong, then by all means, show me where! This is not a condescending challenge, but a sincere plea. I want to know the truth and am always open to entertaining new ideas. Further, I want others to investigate these matters for themselves and arrive at their own conclusions.

Lastly, I think it’s fair to say that much of what has been written in these articles is difficult to deny, and that the pieces I have described at least make logical sense when evaluated together. In the end, it is up to all of us to be students of the Word and to follow Jesus’ stern warning:

“Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming” (Mt. 24:42).

We may not know the day but, if we are indeed watchful, we can know when it’s approaching.

I, for one, believe that it is.
