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 awaythe 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.
At the onset of this article, I want to say that I am going to suggest that the Antichrist is quite possibly alive today and is perhaps the most visible figure on the planet: Donald Trump.
To be clear, I do believe that he fits most (nearly all, really) of the descriptions of the Antichrist shockingly well.
However, whether Trump truly is the Antichrist or not, he is certainly the ideal person to evaluate. This is for two primary reasons: 1) He exhibits (in my opinion) the characteristics provided about this figure and 2) He, at bare minimum, shows us exactly what type of person to be looking for.
In essence, we could insert another name within this article and still learn about the nature of the Antichrist.
I also need you to know that I once supported Trump. I, like many today, was once dazzled by his appearance as America’s “savior” and the man “appointed by God” to defend us from evil: to turn the tide, so to speak. I voted for him in both the 2016 and 2020 elections, though far more begrudgingly the second time. I even defended him from the seemingly endless attacks he received from the left and the media.
However, all that began to change when my eyes were opened in 2020. His handling of COVID-19 and the endless praise he heaped upon himself as the “father of the vaccine,” the man who saved millions through Operation Warp Speed, and more, helped me to see the truth about his wicked nature. As such, I wrote this article in 2021, which (I believe) fairly displayed the treachery behind his presidency, while mentioning some of the positives.
Now, I obviously feel very different about Trump and believe that he looks much more like the Man of Sin than the savior of America.
With that said, let’s see how the prophecies about the Antichrist are perhaps being fulfilled before our very eyes. There are many to go through, so I will describe each in a much more concise way than in the previous article.
____________________
The Antichrist Comes from the Last Babylon
In part one, I showed that the “fourth beast” of Daniel and the “sea beast” of Revelation are referring to the same entity: the final manifestation of the Babylonian Empire.
One of the key details we know about the Antichrist is that he will follow in the footsteps of figures like Nimrod and Nero Caesar, the latter of whom was no doubt in the minds of the first Christian readers of Revelation (see my article here for more on that). Among other things, this means that the final manifestation of this figure must emerge from the “fourth beast” (i.e. one in the likeness of the Roman Empire). This is made known because Daniel’s “little horn” and Revelation’s “boastful mouth” both emerge from an empire that is clearly connected to ancient Rome.
The fourth beast is an empire that dominates the world (Dan. 7:23), like Rome did in its day and Babylon before it. The difference with the US is that it truly does dominate the entire world. I described all the ways this is true in part one.
If America truly is the final manifestation of Babylon—which I believe is nearly undeniable—then we know that the Antichrist will emerge from the US.
Trump is the 45th and now 47th (current) president of the United States; he comes from the Babylon/Rome/America beast and is certainly the most globally recognizable leader it has ever had.
___________________
The Antichrist is a Vile Man
While many errantly believe that the Antichrist will be loved and adored by everyone—based on the description that the world “marveled and followed after” the beast (Rev. 13:3)—the truth is that he will be despised by many.
Daniel points out that the Antichrist will be a “contemptible” or “vile” person, who gains power by “flatteries” (11:21). While many scholars agree that the immediate fulfilment of this figure was Antiochus Epiphanes, the figure—as is often the case with both Babylon and the Antichrist—does not see its complete fulfilment until the last days. We know this because 11:21’s figure is also connected to Daniel 8:25:
“He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.”
As is made clear here—and in the connection made in 2 Thessalonians 2:8—this figure will be destroyed by Christ at the Second Coming.
One can hardly think of a more vile and contemptible figure than Donald Trump. Whether he’s talking about grabbing women by their private parts, making sexual comments about his own daughter, hanging out with the late (?) Jeffrey Epstein, telling Mexico to go “FU## itself,” or simply making condescending pet names for all his opponents, one can scarcely imagine someone being more vulgar than the current president of the United States. All this, while being applauded by many within the church because he “tells it like it is.”
Trump is truly a vile man.
___________________
The Antichrist Magnifies Himself Above All Things, Even God
This particular prophecy requires zero speculation, as it comes directly from Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:4. The Antichrist (Man of Sin) is the one:
“. . . who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.”
First, note that Trump has been adamant that he does not need forgiveness. I discuss this later. This, alone, tells us that he believes himself to be above God.
However, there is far more to it. Trump is regularly referred to in Messianic/Godlike terms, and he does not shy away in accepting these comparisons. Here are just a few of the countless examples out there.
Trump’s own daughter, Lara, recently stated that “people ought to be kissing the feet of Elon Musk and Donald Trump” for their roles in restoring America to its proper place and getting a handle on our spending. (Note how even Trump’s children refer to him in the third person, saying “Donald Trump” instead of “my/our father”)
Of course, Trump also speaks of himselfin the third person. Really, who else does this? But his followers don’t raise an eyebrow.
As if this statement were not enough, Lara added this comment:
Donald Trump “. . . will save, not just our country, but will save the entire world.”
Sounds rather messianic to me.
Another great example comes from several years back. In 2019, Wayne Allan Root stated that the Jews in Israel “love him like he’s the king of Israel” and that they “love him like he’s the second coming of God.” While Trump did reject the comparison to God on the surface, he by no means distanced himself from these remarks.
In fact, Trump retweeted Root’s comments and thanked him for his “very nice words.”
Now, I ask you: what kind of “Christian” would retweet and accept such blasphemous praise? Well, I have an answer for you—the kind of person who would accept the Crown of Jerusalemaward (a menorah) from the Israel Heritage Foundation, in commemoration of his peace treaty made through the “Abraham Accords.” (This will be discussed later)
Curiously, Trump later referred to comments saying that if he (Trump) decided to “give this up and go over to Israel,” he would be elected prime minister “very quickly.” Keep this in mind, as something of the sort could well happen after his second term ends.
Lastly—though I could go on and on—let’s not forget that Trump is routinely thought of as the “Savior of America” by scores of his followers within the Catholic and evangelical communities. As we all should know, there is but one Savior of any country and the world: Jesus.
Though Trump has not openly declared himself to be God verbatim, both he and his followers regularly make obvious comparisons. Don’t be surprised if he outright makes the claim in the near future, particularly if a third temple is built (or at least started) in Jerusalem.
Donald Trump magnifies himself above all things, including God.
____________________
The Antichrist’s Connection to Israel
As illustrated in the last section, Trump is widely celebrated in Israel and has been called—in numerous ways—a Messianic or God-like figure by the Jewish people living there.
As it just so happens, Scripture connects the Antichrist to Israel.
In Revelation 17, the Great Harlot is described. Elsewhere, I have discussed precisely why Israel—specifically the corrupt Jews and the system of religion revolving around Jerusalem—is the fulfilment of the Harlot figure. (See here, here, and here)
The main reason we can be sure of this is that the Harlot is a corrupt “woman,” which typically signifies either the church or Israel. Further, the Harlot is seen in direct contrast to Revelation 12’s “woman” who “gave birth to a male child.” Here, we are clearly talking about Israel bringing about Jesus, the Messiah. So, Revelation juxtaposes the “good woman” (remnant Israel) who brought about the Messiah and the “wicked woman” (corrupt Israel) who helped to condemn him.
This is expanded upon in chapter 17, where we read that the Harlot was “drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the witnesses of Jesus” (17:6). Finally, she is called the “Harlot” because she was adulterous with the nations of the earth (17:2). This is exactly how Israel is described throughout much of OT prophetic writings (see Ezekiel 16, for a great example).
(There are additional reasons, and please refer to the links mentioned above to learn more about this.)
The key for the present topic is that the Harlot is said to be “riding” on the beast (Rev. 17:7). That is, the fourth beast. This makes sense, as the corrupt Jews of the day—especially the leadership—rejected Jesus and gave their support over to the Roman Empire in their mission to exterminate the new faith. This was clearly seen at Jesus’ crucifixion, when they shouted out to have him put to death, proclaiming that they “have no king but Caesar” (Jn. 19:15).
Thus, the Harlot (corrupt Israel) was riding the Beast (Rome).
Following with the view that the US is the fulfillment of the Babylonian/Roman empire beast, we now have this connection as well. Without any question, Israel and the US are literally attached at the hip; Israel “rides” upon the United States. If you doubt this claim, simply watch this video and it will make it clear.
Even more to the point, no president has ever been more “pro-Israel” than Donald Trump. Yes, the “proud mouth” and “little horn” from the 4th beast is bound to Israel and their status in the world unlike anyone in history. Among other things, Trump has:
Declared Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel, moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to there
Cut all funding for the UN’s Palestinian’s Refugee Agency
Pushed for the Abraham Accords, normalizing relations between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco (This incentivized economic ties and security cooperation with Israel in return for US aid, or diplomatic support.)
Relentlessly supported Israel’s plans to expand their territories
I already mentioned that he received the Crown of Jerusalem award for his tireless support of Israel.
In summary, we now have another crucial prophecy about the Antichrist being fulfilled in Donald Trump. He is so tightly connected to Israel that they are virtually inseparable.
(Teaser: Don’t be surprised if Trump transitions from his second term as president to a role in Israel)
______________________
The Antichrist is an Unparalleled Braggard
Among the many prophecies about the Antichrist is that he will be extremely boastful. By this, Scripture discusses someone who goes far above and beyond the normal standards, otherwise we could not tell him apart from so many others.
Daniel recorded that the little horn:
“. . . possessed eyes like human eyes, and a mouth uttering great boasts” (7:8, 20)
Revelation reveals the same concerning the Antichrist that would arise from the sea/4th beast:
“A mouth was given to him speaking arrogant words and blasphemies” (20:5).
We know, then, that the Antichrist (little horn/mouth) will be an especially boastful and arrogant person. Again, this would need to rise well above ordinary standards, lest he simply blend in with the rest of the world.
Do I even need to prove this one, as it pertains to Trump? Without any question, there is no one in the public sphere who is more grandiose, self-congratulatory, and boastful than Donald Trump. No one. And I mean, ever: as in, perhaps all of history.
No one could have handled COVID-19, or the economy, or the creation of businesses, or politics, or architecture, or the border crisis, or anything else, “better than Donald Trump.” No one loves women, Christians, Jews, or the Bible more than Donald Trump. He has even publicly bragged—on a debate stage before the world, no less—about how well-endowed he (supposedly) is!
You name it, and Trump has boasted about it. Usually, this is done in the most ridiculous and over-the-top ways. He is undoubtedly the world’s foremost example of a grandiose narcissist: a topic that I literally speak about on a weekly basis.
At this point, we simply take for granted how absurd his arrogance is; we shrug at his acts, while we would be utterly repulsed if others did them. Rather than list the hundred thousand examples at our disposal, I will simply refer you to this video. However, if you are not already aware of his incomparably braggadocios nature, then I doubt that you have ever observed him.
Yes, Donald Trump fits this prophecy to perfection. In fact, it’s difficult to imagine how anyone could ever approach his level of boastfulness.
___________________
The Antichrist is Associated with the Lie and Great Delusion
I have been discussing the fact that the COVID-19 agenda was the closest thing to a worldwide Lie, and that its acceptance is the strongest example of a global Delusion, that the world has ever seen. Here is more on this, if you are interested.
In my estimation, this likely fulfils Paul’s words in 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12:
“For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe the lie, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.”
The Antichrist is directly connected to this Lie and Delusion. In the preceding verses, we see that the Antichrist is:
“. . . the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved.”
Even if the COVID-19 agenda was not the Lie and its acceptance the Delusion, though I strongly believe that both are true, there is no doubt that they are the closest things to them we have ever seen. See my book and video, if you really want evidence of this.
With that said, Trump’s role was integral in this wickedness. He was a leading figure in the lockdowns and other measures taken against the virus, not only in the US but globally. He tasked Fauci—one of the greatest villains on Planet Earth—as a key member of the Corona Virus Task Force. Most importantly, Trump was an integral part of Operation Warp Speed, whereby Big Pharma was able to concoct a miraculous shot to cure the disease—getting it through all the “necessary” phases and hurdles—in only nine months.
Yes, Trump yet again touted himself as the one who saved the world through his part in the great “miracle” that was the COVID-19 “vaccines.”
With this, I have also shown that the Antichrist will perform false signs and miracles (2 The. 2:9). Add this one to the list! I won’t even go into what I believe was a phony assassination attempt. Another false miracle?
Trump’s key roles in advancing the COVID-19 agenda and “saving the world” through Operation Warp Speed firmly connects him to the Great Lie and the associated Delusion. This is a pivotal connection, and only Trump can be the figure we consider for these prophecies.
_____________________
The Antichrist Comes in His own Name
While this is not necessarily a direct prophecy concerning the Antichrist, it certainly reveals his nature.
When dealing with the corrupt Jewish leaders on a particular occasion, Jesus made the following remark:
“ I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him” (Jn. 5:43).
Now, one might say that most politicians “come in their own name,” but Trump sets the bar. Long before he was president, Trump has been using his own name to build a brand around the world. Everything he is part of bears the Trump name, from Trump Towers to the Trump Organization, to Trump Hollywood, to the Trump International Hotels, to the Trump National Golf Courses, to the Trump Casinos, and on and on.
It’s literally endless.
As I have already discussed, both Trump and his own children refer to him in the third person: as “Donald Trump.”
No one in recent memory—if not also in history—so clearly touted his own name around the world. No one has had more of a global presence, and he is undeniably the most popular figure on earth. He has come entirely in his own name, and he has been accepted by many, especially the religious right.
____________________
The Antichrist Denies the Need for Forgiveness
I mentioned this earlier, and it’s another example that is not a direct prophecy. However, it certainly speaks to the spirit of antichrist that will culminate in the Antichrist.
1 John 1:8 tells us the following:
“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.”
Likewise, to claim we have no sin—thus, that are not in need of a savior—is to deny Jesus, the Son of God. By extension, to deny the Son is to deny the Father (1 Jn. 2:23).
As you might expect, Donald Trump fits this bill, too. During an interview at the Family Leadership Summit in 2015, Trump was asked if he had ever asked God for forgiveness. After dodging the question and being probed again, he said this:
“I’m not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there; I don’t think so. If I do something wrong, I think I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture.”
Shortly after, on an interview with Anderson Cooper, Trump doubled down when asked about his remarks:
“I try not make mistakes where I have to ask forgiveness” . . . “Why do I have to repent or ask for forgiveness, if I am not making mistakes?”
He then added: “I work hard; I’m an honorable person.”
While these remarks—which have never been denounced by Trump—should have ruined his credibility as a “Christian,” they didn’t phase his base.
Trump does not think he needs forgiveness. In his mind, he is sinless, perfect, and needs no savior. He has said as much.
____________________
The Musk Connection
While so much more could be said about Trump, I want to mention one whom he is connected to.
I have written long ago about the darkness behind the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. In fact, Musk has several (though definitely not all) of the features one might expect in the Antichrist. He is a world-renowned billionaire who is seemingly involved in every manner of global business and is—lest we forget—utterly obsessed with merging humanity with artificial intelligence.
Now, as the head of DOGE, Musk brings all this to the Trump regime as his new right-hand man. How very poetic, and predictable. I would love to spend more time on Musk here and now, but this article is already far beyond my normal standards for length. Allow me, then, to just highlight several things about Trump’s right-hand man.
Musk is the biggest pioneer of AI on earth, and regularly mentions how it will replace the need for most human beings.
He has openly said that the world will soon be cashless, and that cash will no longer make any sense.
He has openly worn satanic regalia (see the picture above) and associates with known satanists (see here).
Whether or not Musk serves in an official capacity within the White House for much longer, he will no doubt continue to play a massive role in the above capacities. In Musk, Trump has his path to fulfilling the System of the Beast in regard to a human/AI synthesis and a cashless society. Neither items necessarily need to come to full fruition before the end but, like the possible creation of a third temple in Jerusalem, these things happening would certainly add concrete evidence to Trump’s fulfillment of the Antichrist figure.
Lastly, Musk shares with Trump the similarity of being considered (by many) to be a freedom fighter who is out to battle the evil juggernauts of the world in defense of all the “little people.” It’s truly Trump and Musk “against the world!” This, while both he and Trump have lived among the most morally decadent lives imaginable. This, of course, did not stop Lara Trump—as quoted earlier—from stating that we should all be “kissing the feet of Elon Musk and Donald Trump” for saving the country.
Birds of a feather certainly do flock together.
___________________
Trump as the Antichrist
As I mentioned at the beginning of part one, I am not making the claim that any of these interpretations are absolutes: that they are cold, hard facts about reality or the Bible.
However, I believe all this fits together very neatly; it makes a great deal of sense and is consistent when viewed together. I hope that the innumerable links to other articles show you, at the very least, that my views are not haphazardly thrown together or devoid of sufficient research. In part three, I will piece the first two articles together and attempt to tie it up with a pretty little bow.
Just understand that I have been trying, to the best of my ability, to put all this together for many years now.
Donald Trump does appear to satisfy nearly all the expectations of the Antichrist/Man of Sin/Son of Perdition figure described within the Bible. Admittedly, he is yet to “persecute the saints” (Dan. 7:25, Rev. 7). Also—and if you take this in the most literal of ways—he has not set himself up in a third temple, proclaiming himself to be God (2 The. 2:4). I am not sold that this prophecy must involve the literal building of a third temple in Jerusalem (as previously mentioned), but I will not go down that path here and now. However, I already showed that Trump has compared himself—and has been compared—to God, and the building of another temple could literally commence at any time now.
However, both prophecies could easily be fulfilled in Trump over the next several years. More to the point, literally every other thing imaginable points to him as being the fulfillment of the Antichrist.
In closing, I only ask that you honestly consider what I have presented. Ask yourself: if it’s not Donald Trump, then who else could it be? Who else satisfies all the requirements discussed here, and the many I have not even mentioned?
At the end of the day, many figures fulfil one—or even several—of these criteria. The question is this: Who else fulfils (essentially) all the biblical expectations of the Antichrist?
If it’s not Donald Trump, then I can scarcely imagine who could better fulfil the dark characteristics of this individual. As with all things though . . .
Time will tell.
If Trump is indeed the Antichrist, then time will tell very soon.
(I cannot more strongly recommend that you watch this YouTube channel, as it delves very deeply into the corruption of Donald Trump and the many ways he fits the description of the biblical Antichrist.)
What follows is the first installment of a three-part series about the events of the last days. This will be the most comprehensive series of articles I have written on the subject to date, and I will attempt to prove that we really are—by all reasonable expectations—truly the generation that is seeing the end of the age unfold before our very eyes.
In part one, I am discussing many of the most important prophecies about the last days and showing specifically how that prophecy is being fulfilled today.
In part two, I will be discussing the Bible’s most enigmatic figure: the Antichrist. In describing the nature of this individual, I will even go so far as to suggest a person who currently—yes, at this very moment—appears to fulfill the many expectations of this figure.
In part three, I identify all the pieces of the puzzle in a very systematic and straightforward manner. This involves linking the people and events of the first two articles together in a comprehensive and easily digestible way.
It goes without saying (or should, at least) that I am not making definitive claims. That is, none of us know to a certainty that several of these claims are true until they are made evident by the Second Coming of Christ or similarly obvious events.
What I am providing is, I believe, a very cogent explanation of how all this seems to be unfolding and why we very well may be living in the last stretch of world history. Further, I will provide a host of links to other articles I have written on specific topics, for those who want to delve even deeper.
With all this said, let’s get started with part one: exploring the more powerful examples of prophecy being fulfilled today.
_______________
The Gospel Preached to all the World
I will not spend a great deal of time on this initial issue, as it is perhaps the most straightforward element within this series of articles. When asked about the last days, one of Jesus’ prophecies involved the gospel being preached throughout the world:
“This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come” (Mt. 24:12).
Note how closely connected these two ideas are: afterthe gospel has been preached to all nations, the end will come.
While there is some manner of debate about this, it’s self-evident that most of the world has heard the gospel preached in some capacity. Are there likely some very remote places where this has not occurred? Yes, certainly. Some—like the Joshua Project—suggest that as many as 7,400 groups have not heard the gospel yet.
There has also been debate over whether Christ meant this as literally as possible, or if “the whole world” and “all the nations” was being more metaphorically used to describe the radical dispersal of the gospel. It’s very reasonable to believe that this did not refer to every remote part of the earth and every living soul on the planet.
After all, many never heard the message throughout the last two-thousand years.
Whatever the case, we know that Christian missionaries having visited nearly every prominent population of people on earth (and then some) and that at least some part of the Bible has been translated into nearly half the languages of the earth.
None of this even includes the fact that the internet has made it possible for most people on the planet to have access to the Bible and the gospel message at the click of a mouse. If we have not satisfied Jesus’ prediction on this matter yet, we are very close to doing so.

The Rise of Narcissism
I have detailed this phenomenon repeatedly (see this article, and this as well). I even have a YouTube channel dedicated almost exclusively to this topic. The fact that narcissism has become the modus operandi of our time is hardly refutable. As Jesus said concerning the end:
“And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will become cold” (Mt. 24:12).
There is much to this single verse, and I have written an article about—you guessed it, narcissism—on this verse alone. However, we clearly live in a time when the love of most people has grown cold. In fact, you are far more likely to meet the type of person described in perfect detail (below) than a healthy individual:
“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people” (2 Tim. 3:1-15).
Anyone who possesses even half a sound mind can see that narcissism has exploded around the world, and it is a key fulfilment of end time prophecy. Consider this one fulfilled, though it will no doubt continue to increase.

The Great Apostasy
This takes us to the first issue of the last days that takes some unpacking.
In 2 Thessalonians 2, Paul discussed a litany of very specific events that would come to mark the last days. Among them are his prophetic statements about the Great Apostasy, or the falling away of believers from the church. I have written specifically about it in this article.
Writing about the last days and the Lord’s return, Paul said this:
“No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction” (2:3, my emphasis).
This apostasy—that is, the falling away from the truth or a rebellion against God—is connected to the “lawless one” being revealed. This will be discussed in the next installment. However, it is also connected to the return of Christ, as described in the previous verse (2:2). In this, we see that the Great Apostasy is a prerequisite to Jesus’ return and is a clear marker of the last days.
Is this now occurring? I believe so, and with little question. Here is just a taste of how we can be sure:
Drag queens, homosexuals, and others within the LGBTQIA+ community hold high positions within churches and are often pastors. This is propagated in denominations like the United Methodists,[1] the United Church of Christ,[2] the Presbyterian Church,[3] and countless others.
Sin is not only permitted (see this article) but is taught to be fully acceptable (see this article).
Many evangelicals see their political allegiances as being bound to their faith itself (see here).
Most professed Christians believe that the goal of the Kingdom is to see a restored nation of Israel and a third temple (discussed again later), even though Scripture is so clear that this is not the case (see this article).
Then there are the basic observations that the majority of Christians do nothing with their faith except occasionally attend a local congregation, that church attendance has steadily declined since the turn of the century, and that God has been completely abandoned in most marriages.
As I am about to show, a particular event displayed the state of the church perhaps more prominently than anything else to date.

The Lie and the Great Delusion
Speaking of the Great Apostasy, virtually nothing exposed the failing church more than the events of 2020. In fact—and as I detail in this (highly important!) video—most churches and professed believers went right over the cliff with COVID-19, buying hook, line, and sinker into what may well have been the greatest Lie and Delusion in all human history.
You read that correctly—the COVID-19 agenda was quite possibly the Great Lie spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 with the Great Delusion following closely behind to ensure that most of the world believed it.
I have written an entire book and created an almost 4-hour long video detailing everything involved in this and, if you are so inclined, I strongly recommend that you look into these resources.
For now, let’s summarize the key aspects of why the virus agenda of 2020 either was the Lie and Delusion or—at the very least—is the closest thing we have ever seen to it.
The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security—in conjunction with the World Economic Forum, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—game planned an event that looked eerily like the Covid-19 outbreak, and they did it just months before the real thing occurred. To be more precise, Event 201 occurred right when the virus was spreading around the globe. They explained their simulation in the following way:
“Event 201 was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions, confronting difficult, true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic. 15 global business, government, and public health leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment, and attention now and in the future.”
This simulation was impeccably similar to the Covid-19 crisis that “officially” hit the planet in the late winter of 2020. Here are some of the highlights:
The surprise outbreak of a novel coronavirus occurred in swine and was called “CAPS.”
It produced a respiratory virus, with symptoms ranging from “mild, flu-like symptoms” to “severe pneumonia.”
It began in South America but spread around much of the globe in just three months, mainly via air travel.
Many were believed to spread the virus “asymptomatically,” without even knowing they had it.
The only proposed treatment was a vaccine that would need to be whipped up at lightning speed.
They even did faux polling of the public, which revealed that a large portion of the population would take the vaccine “even if it’s experimental.”
If you know anything about the Covid-19 outbreak, then you are likely picking your jaw up from the floor. This checks every major box; every one of these factors involving “CAPS” sounds almost exactly like what really happened with Covid-19.
If you simply replace “swine” with “bats” and “South America” with “China,” you literally have an identical situation.
We have a coronavirus that mostly spread asymptomatically (how absurd), which supposedly arose organically from animals, began in one location and spread around the globe in a few months, resulted in anything from no symptoms to death, could only be cured by a vaccine that would be created at something akin to “Warp Speed,” and would be taken by the public even though its “experimental.”
Does any of that sound familiar? Absolutely incredible, right?
(If you doubt what I am telling you, see Event 201 for yourself here. Somehow, it is still online for public consideration.)
Building onto this, the “vaccine” agenda was apparent from the onset of the crisis. As soon as the virus dropped, so did the press for a vaccine. Moderna boasted (boosted?) of having their injection prepared within two days of the virus’ genome being published. Two days! Further, the shots became available to the public roughly nine months after they were created. Before Covid-19, it took a decade (plus or minus) to put a vaccine through all the appropriate trials and safety processes. When this virus arrived, however, it could all be done almost instantaneously: again, at “Warp Speed.”
Lastly, the entire globe was on the same page the very minute the virus dropped. Well, I should say, the very minute the global elites said “Go!” As mentioned, the virus was spreading long before they told us about it. In fact, we know that it was indeed spreading in Europe and other places by late-summer of 2019.
Further, we also know that China mysteriously doubled their yearly expenditures on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing supplies and related equipment between 2018-2019. This is what we call a “smoking gun.”
The March 2020 kickoff was not the beginning of the spread, but simply the moment “they” chose to launch their plan. Believe it.
Getting back to the main point . . . all at once, virtually every world leader called for lockdowns, social distancing, mask mandates, and complete obedience to the government. Like dominoes, everyone fell in line.
Just. Like. That.
As mentioned, the church fell over itself going along with this grand scheme. Not only that, the one I will later identify (in part two) as the most likely candidate for the Antichrist was instrumental in what I believe to be the Great Lie of all history.

The Last Babylon
Given the length of this first article, I will briefly explain this one and point you once more to other writings I have done on the matter.
In Scripture, there is a repeating pattern that emerges: a world power that takes various incarnations and finds its culmination in the last days. I am referring to the wicked nation of Babylon.
Babylon was the nation that conquered the southern Kingdom of Judah and destroyed the first temple (Solomon’s) in 586 BC. Furthermore, they took many of the Jewish people into exile, a time which arguably marked Israel’s lowest point. Given these extreme atrocities, Babylon went on to live in infamy among God’s people.
Of course, they were spawned from the previous community that also lived in infamy: Babel. This was the first “empire,” so to speak, that emerged after the Great Flood. This corrupt group rebelled against God and, under the direction of Nimrod, erected a grand tower to “make a name for themselves” and to attempt to prevent God from wiping them out again with another flood. Laughable, I know.
It was Nimrod, in fact, that was actually the world’s first Antichrist figure. This is also why he is held in such high esteem by the Freemasons, being their first “Grand Master.” I discuss Nimrod in this article.
In any event, Babylon went on to stand for all that wicked empires would entail. As such, Rome was later called “Babylon” by the early Christians (1 Pet. 5:13, Rev. 18) because of the persecution they faced under its many ruthless emperors (like Nero and Domitian). “Babylon”—the ultimate evil empire—had reappeared again in the Roman Empire.
However, it wasn’t finished bringing terror onto the world’s scene. Revelation discusses the final manifestation of the Babylonian/Roman empire in chapter 13. The “last Babylon”—the one that falls in such incredible fashion at the end (Rev. 18)—is John’s “beast from the sea” and Daniel’s “fourth beast” (7:23). The last Babylon dominates the world, brings about the Antichrist—the “mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies”—and persecutes God’s people. It works in conjunction with the “false prophet” (or the “beast from the earth”) to force the inhabitants of the earth to get the “mark of the beast.”
It is my opinion that America—yes, the United States—is indeed the final manifestation of the “beast from the sea.” America is the last Babylon. In a way unlike any other country in history, America has subdued the entire world in almost every respect.
We have ruled the world’s economy, with our currency being the staple of the nations.
We have spread our culture across the globe, from fast-food restaurants to clothing brands, to department stores to sports teams, and certainly through our entertainment.
English is far and away the most popular language in the world, and this is largely because of America’s influence.
We have pioneered nearly every major technological innovation in history, from the internet to the nuclear bomb, to the (alleged) moon landings, and countless others.
America has also led the world in sex-trafficking, pornography, and war.
America is more closely associated with the Great Harlot (discussed momentarily) than any other country on earth.
No other country in all of world history has been so powerful and transformative as the United States: not by a landslide. And with that power has come many positives . . . and virtually endless negatives.
There is a reason why the Freemasons viewed the foundation of America as their crowning achievement and the empire that would bring about Satan’s kingdom on earth.
Indeed, the last Babylon exists here and now, and it will be brought to its knees by the return of the Lord.
(I recommend the book, Star-Spangled Babylon, for a much deeper explanation of this matter)

The Great Harlot
If you didn’t like the last section, then you will likely hate this one. Still, I have no choice but to speak the truth.
I understand with crystal clarity how dear to their hearts that most Christians hold the nation of Israel. We have been told about the primacy of Israel from birth, in nearly every way imaginable.
However, this is yet another type of delusion and is an obvious place where Scripture is being ignored. I simply don’t have time in this article to unpack why Israel—and their place within Scripture, history, and the last days—has been so wildly misunderstood, but I have written very extensively on this (links below).
Let me summarize the startling truth about Israel and point you to my articles proving the claims. As with the rest of this article, each hyperlink will take you to a more exhaustive article on the subject.
Jerusalem is the “Great Harlot” described in Revelation 17. (I explain here)
Israel and the Jewish people are no longer God’s chosen, which Scripture clearly testifies to. (See this article, and also this one.)
The current nation of Israel is a counterfeit of Satan, designed (like the Antichrist) as a delusion—though not the Delusion—to blind believers.
The so-called “Star of David”—the official symbol of modern Israel—is, not surprisingly, actually a satanic symbol paying homage to the pagan god, Remphan. (Explained here)
In short, the current nation of Israel is not God’s chosen nation. More than that, it’s nothing short of a Satanic counterfeit.
Despite crystal clear evidence to the contrary—as explained in the linked articles above—Israel’s place in both the world and eschatology is truly foundational in most theological circles. This is so much the case that, if Israel was proven not to be what most Christians believe, then their faith would be shattered.
This is why most will not even listen to my take (and others) on the matter, choosing instead to simply go with what they have been told by others.

Satanism and Freemasonry
I have probably written more on Freemasonry and the overt nature of Satanism than perhaps anything else. It is utterly incredible how obvious this now is in the last days, and one can hardly miss it (if they have an eye to see).
Rather than rehash all this, please take the time to look through the litany of examples I have written about below. This should be truly eye-opening.
As mentioned at the onset of this article, part one is not meant to be an exhaustive list of all we should expect in the last days.
I could also have written (and did, here) on how the present looks exactly—at least, as I see things—like Jesus’ description of the “days of Noah.” Most of the world literally wanders as though in a matrix, believing that things are as they seem and that nothing unusual is occurring.
Meanwhile, the gates that are holding back the “flood waters,” so to speak, are just about to burst.
Just in part one, however, it should be obvious that the major expectations about the last days seem very much to be upon us. We have seen the gospel preached to nearly all the world, the arrival of the Great Delusion, the Great Apostasy, the emergence of last Babylon/beast from the sea, the perfect counterfeit in the modern Harlot (i.e. Israel), as well as the blatant presence of Freemasonry/Satanism in our world.
While it is always possible that these interpretations are incorrect, it is highly probable that they are not. These exact nations, figures, and events match the biblical expectations extraordinarily well and, at minimum, show us exactly what the real manifestations will look like.
In part two, I will keep with this in showing a man who—by nearly every measure—is either the Antichrist/Man of Sin himself or is the closest look at such a person we could ever imagine.
