Things that make me say, "Hmm...."
OUR BORDERS [within and without]:
Ushering in the Golden Age: So many things are rapidly leading to the end of this age as prophesied in scripture. Read and ponder it, as what is happening in our world – both within our borders and without – is unprecedented. Too many are deceived; too many are unaware of the lateness of the hour.
John tells us of the lateness of the hour and the deceptions therein as a father towards those born-again believers in his day, saying, “Little children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen, whereby we know that it is the last hour.”
John identifies the antichrist and spirit of antichrists as a liar(s) – the one denying that Jesus is the Messiah and who denies the Father and the Son. He also encourages believers that we can know the truth because we have the testimony of the Holy One [The Holy Spirit] in us leading us in all truth and there is no lie in Him. 1 John 2:18-23 [Read now…]
Another meaning of antichrist is a false Christ, a pseudo or counterfeit Christ. One who will deceive many with flattering words and may come with a form of godliness without the Spirit of God and will, in the end, deceive many as seen in Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if possible.
I bring up the lateness of the hour and the magnitude of today's deceptions due to the unique group surrounding President Trump. His “Dream Team” reminded me of the 1980s television show ‘The A-Team’, a fictional portrayal of an Army Special Forces team wrongfully imprisoned that later escaped to Los Angeles. The series featured cartoonish violence and helped boost Mr. T's career. Many careers are being boosted now through Trump's “Dream Team,” which also feels somewhat cartoonish and surreal. Regardless, these individuals have been chosen to 'usher in the Golden Age.'
The deceptions and lateness of the hour continue to weigh heavy on my heart having listened to President Trump declare this coming ‘Golden Age.’ My mind immediately went to the head of gold on the statute in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream interpreted by Daniel as being none other than Babylon. [Daniel 2:24-45]
I then recalled that the beast associated with Babylon was that of a winged lion in Daniel’s vision of the four beasts. [Daniel 7] This led me to the mouth of the Beast in Revelation 13 said to have the mouth of a lion. All this hit me in rapid succession and I immediately revisited the chapters in Revelation 17 and 18 regarding Babylon The Great. There are many differing opinions regarding whom Babylon The Great refers to: most believe it is the Catholic Church; others that it will be a newly rebuilt city of Babylon where the original Tower of Babel had been built [this near Iraq]; and some, though a minority, believe it is none other than the United States. I suppose I am among many looking at it all again today and see the minority view easily when I read this section in Scripture.
As I continue reading my daily news first from the Bible and seek wisdom from God’s Spirit in me to properly interpret the end of the age events, it seems to me, that President “T” may be just the man to usher in this kingdom of the Beast – to usher in this Golden Age Tower of Babel.
I am not saying he is or is not the ‘Antichrist’, though he seems to have a boasting mouth and everything he seems to do of late seems to turn to gold despite dissenting voices. But he also is initiating “Stargate.” Did you ever see the movie “Stargate” back in 1994? It was based on obtaining the key to the past that would open the door to the future – the passage leading to discovering the mystery. Does anyone else have a sense of watching a conglomerate of predictively programmed movies now being played out in our reality? Do the orbs and new alien disclosures have anything to do with President “T” ‘s Stargate launch and could AI be used to open the door to the mystery of a golden age future?
Many moving and shifting pieces are at play and Scripture, the infallible Word of God, tells it best – the future mystery is already written for us, but fitting the pieces of the puzzle together takes time and study. It is a worthy study, as is all of Scripture; and I hope you open it up. I do believe it will get clearer and clearer the more events unfold.
Nonetheless, if John wrote then that it was the “last hour,” I believe we are now in the “last minute”. If John wrote about the deceptions back then, I consider the deceptions in our day to be of a much greater magnitude. Is it any wonder that the “Dooms Day” clock has recently been set to 89 seconds before midnight – that Midnight coming will be The Day of Yah – Jacobs Trouble! And it is fast approaching.
Though I haven’t fully pieced everything together yet, I certainly see today’s events align with what the Bible says would happen and I continue to watch and study with fascination. Sometimes, I even have to pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming.
As of now, I am not sure who Babylon – The Great City – is. I question whether the United States will be destroyed and/or become inconsequential as many believe or if indeed it will end up being Babylon The Great risen from the ashes later to be destroyed in the end. Regardless, I have reached some definite conclusions based on what scripture says regarding the coming antichrist, the Beasts in Revelation 13, and the Mystery, Babylon The Great, in Revelation 17 and 18. These are:
A new Tower of Babel, or Babylon, is rising in power with grand claims about great things to come.
The Antichrist is alive and well, operating behind the scenes in our world today, alongside numerous other antichrists.
The event commonly referred to as the "Rapture" or as I call it, the “Whoosh”, is approaching more quickly than any of us can imagine.
The strengthening of the covenant with many could occur at any time. [Daniel 9:27]
The Antichrist will be revealed, and the Day of the Lord will begin, that seven years of great tribulation, rather than the "Golden Age" promised.
The Beast System now ready will be implemented once God removes the restrainer.
Jesus will return at the end and shatter Babylon and other kingdoms, establishing His 1,000-year reign of righteousness here on Earth.
Again, the pieces are moving quickly and there is much to consider. Though I watch, study, and pray, all these things are causing me not to look for the Antichrist, but rather to look up for The True Christ - Jesus Our Blessed Hope – He is coming soon to snatch His faithful church from this earth, just as He removed His presence from the temple in Jerusalem before it was completely burned after the 3rd exile of the Jews to Babylon seen recorded in the vision of Ezekiel 10:18-19.

PROPHECY IN DAILY HEADLINES:
United States To Control Gaza? Is this ongoing conflict setting the stage for a new confirmed ‘covenant’ in Israel? In early February, Trump shocked the world by stating United States would take over Gaza suggesting also this could allow the Jews to rebuild their temple. This aligns with what Scripture tells us regarding a future temple and the resuming of priestly sacrifices in the latter days. I for one have long felt that the coming Daniel 7:29 making stronger of the covenant, would be a concession for Israel to do just that. It simply is fascinating to watch God’s Word as it unfolds before us in real life.

Wars and Rumors of Wars: Tensions rise after President ‘T’ meets with Zelensky which left a bad taste in the mouth. But a turnabout was reported after Zelensky sent a letter of apology to Trump. Meanwhile, Europe rushed in seeking to keep the Ukraine war going and prepare for World War III. But wait – seems like another diplomatic victory is going to be seen after all. Then there are talks between Iran and the US that don’t seem to be going well nor does the Israeli conflict. Additionally, a tragic massacre in Syria is claiming the lives of many, including Christians. These current events may make the world appear to be falling apart. Yet based on the Word of God, it is falling into place based on what God has said would be. Are you trusting in this world and its leaders or in God Almighty, creator of the heavens and earth and all that in them is. That includes Him creating me and you. He is still on the throne. Though we should be aware of the season we are in, we are not to be shaken by it. Paul said in Philippians 1:21 “For me to live is Christ and to die gain.” This is not a death wish but rather a longing for our eternal future where there will be no more death, no more tears. In the meantime, let’s keep our eyes fixed on our heavenly hope and not on earthly hope of the world, for it is passing away. Let’s pray for the salvation of the lost and strength for our brothers and sisters in this season.

Persecuted And Put To Death: Christian persecution is rising worldwide though not widely reported. But it is newsworthy when we hear of death tolls rising among Christian brothers and sisters in other countries. Let us not think we will be exempt from it either. “On February 13th, Islamic militants rounded up 70 Christians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), took them to a church, and then beheaded all 70 of them.” I was reminded of what Jesus said in Matthew 24:9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of Me.” Yes, it is a very grievous thing we are witnessing; but remember what Paul wrote mentioned above from Philippians 1:2 and what God has foretold us about these turbulent times.

COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT . . .
Signs of the end of the age: Does it surprise anyone that Trump would post an AI-generated video of a vision of “Trump Gaza’ or that not many are talking about the golden goat idol at Mar-a-Lago covered in 100-dollar bills saying “In Trump We Trust.”? Project GOAT, aka, Global Offensive Against Trafficking, was created to generate money to help end trafficking. Now, I am against human trafficking and so is our Lord, but I have to say it, “Coincidence? I think NOT.” Learn more: Donald Trump shares Bizarre AI-generated video of ‘Trump Gaza’ [Guardian News] / Why does Donald Trump have a golden goat idol at Mar-a-Lago covered in 100 dollar bills where his name has replaced the Name of God saying ‘In Trump We Trust’?

SILVER LINING . . .
Time to execute: Recently, I shared a surprising encounter with Tamika Valentine. While reflecting on my projects and seeking guidance from God, I happened to open and read Tamika’s blog. She shared how God told her that her planning was finished and it was time to execute. This spoke directly to me regarding my Wake Up Gear For Life shop, for I too was seeking the same. Yet, I knew it would entail social media which I really don’t like. Turns out she isn’t a fan either. But as I continued reading, Tamika shared her shower moment. As she showered, she looked up and noticed the brand name “SPEAKMAN”. As she started to wonder what, where, and how to “speak” as she knew this was an impromptu message to her thoughts from God, she looked up again and saw the word “ANYSTREAM” on the bottom of the showerhead. Have you ever received a message from God like that? As I read, I felt Him telling me also to “SPEAKMAN, ANYSTREAM!” Time is short, and God’s Word will not return void. So, I am “speaking in any stream to share His message of love and hope – the gift of salvation! You can subscribe to Tamika’s blog here: Diary of a Kingdom Mom | Tamika Valentine | Substack.
