God sends folks into our lives for a season, for His reason. Some come as Rocket Boosters to put us in His orbit, to change our atmosphere, to shift our focus back to Him. Cling to Jesus, not the seasonal saints He sends. Hamas ceased fire in November 2024 when Trump was announced to be President.

World leaders calling for peace. Prophecy tells us that a sense of excitement and peace will come upon Israel. Many Christians will be lulled into complacency, and many will fall away from FAITH in JESUS. Do not be deceived by emotions, surrender to His Spirit, STAND FIRM, do not lean on your own understanding and pray.

A word given by Jonathan Cahn. What could happen IF Donald J. Trump seeks God. The mystery of the date of Trump’s birth. Donald to be a trumpet of God and a warrior ruler. King Jehu prevailed against the nations first lady, so has Donald Trump. God waits for the nation to turn from sin. The breath of God’s Spirit is on Trump for His glory. A word that the Holy Spirit used to stir the heart of every church leaders present. Repentance and dependence on God.

The two world powers that are symbolized in Rev 13. What is the first power?
Answer:   The beast with seven heads is the Roman papacy. Remember that beasts in Bible prophecy symbolize nations or world powers.Daniel 7:17, 23.  In what year does the papacy lose world influence? “He was given authority to continue for forty-two months” Revelation 13:5. The Bible predicted that 42 months and in 1798, and it was fulfilled. Napoleon’s General Berthier took the pope captive. The papal power ceased.

What nation was predicted to arise around the time the papacy was receiving its deadly wound? “I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon” Rev 13:11.The United States declared its independence in 1776, voted the Constitution in 1787, adopted the Bill of Rights in 1791, and was clearly recognized as a world power by 1798. The timing obviously fits America. No other power could possibly qualify. We know from Revelation that water symbolizes areas of the world that have a large population. “The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” Revelation 17:15. Therefore, the earth represents the opposite. It means that this new nation would arise in an area of the world that had been virtually unpopulated before the late 1700s. It did not arise among the crowded and struggling nations of the Old World.

It had to come up in a sparsely populated continent. Horns represent kings and kingdoms or governments. Daniel 7:24; 8:21. In this case, they represent the United States’ two governing principles: civil and religious liberty. These two principles have also been labeled “republicanism” (a government without a king) and “Protestantism” (a church without a pope). Other nations since ancient times had taxed people to support a state religion. Most had also oppressed religious dissidents. But the United States established something entirely new: freedom to worship without government interference. Absence of crowns signifies a republican form of government, rather than a monarchy. Lamb-like horns denote an innocent, young, non-oppressive, peace-loving, and spiritual nation. (Jesus is referred to as a lamb 28 times in Revelation.)

In Revelation did Jesus’ describe the United States? The dragon is Satan, who works through various earthly powers to establish his own kingdom and to crush God’s church by destroying God’s people.

Revelation 3:11 “I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.”

Satan’s aim always has been to usurp God’s throne and to force people to worship and obey him. Speaking as a dragon means the USA is under the influence of Satan.  What will the USA do that will cause it to speak as a dragon? “Exercises all the authority of the first beast” Rev 13:12. Will the USA  become a persecuting power that will force people to go against their conscience? As did papal Rome—which is portrayed in the first half of Rev 13. Melanie is Catholic.

“Causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed”. The United States will lead the nations of the world in forcing allegiance to the papal antichrist. The issue is always worship. Who will you worship and obey? Will it be Christ, your Creator and Redeemer, or antichrist? Every soul on earth will finally worship one or the other. Satan’s approach will appear to be deeply spiritual, and incredible miracles will be seen. Rev 13:13, 14—which will deceive billions. Rev 13:3. Those who refuse to join this move will be considered divisive, stubborn, radical, and unpatriotic. Did Jesus label Protestant America of the end time a “false prophet”? Rev 19:20; 20:10, it will appear spiritual and trustworthy but instead will be satanic in its conduct. All this may seem impossible, but Jesus’ words are always reliable and true (Titus 1:2). He foretold the rise and fall of the four world empires and the antichrist (Dan 2 and 7) at a time when such predictions seemed outlandish and incredible.

All came to pass precisely as predicted. His warning to us today regarding prophecy is, “I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe” John 14:29. Is the USA in Bible Prophecy?

“Telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived” Rev 13:14. The United States will make an image to the beast by legislating religious practice. It will pass laws requiring worship and force people to either obey them or face death.

This action is a copy—or “image”—of the church-state form of government the papacy ruled with at the height of her power during the Middle Ages, when millions were slain for their faith. The United States will combine civil government and apostate Protestantism in a “marriage” that will support the papacy. It will then influence all the nations of the world to follow her example. Thus, the papacy will gain worldwide support. “And cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed” Rev 13:15. The United States, as head of this international movement, will next influence the nations of the world to impose a death sentence upon all who refuse to worship the beast or his image. Another name for this worldwide coalition is “Babylon the Great.”

“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” Rev 13:15. Points of contention will be worshiping and obeying the beast and receiving his mark—to honor Sunday as a false holy day vs worshiping and obeying Christ and receiving His mark by honoring the holy seventh-day Sabbath. 

When the issues become clear and people are forced to break the Sabbath or be killed, those who then choose Sunday will be, in essence, worshiping the beast. They will have chosen to obey the word of a creature, a man, instead of the word of their Creator, Jesus Christ. Could a government really control buying and selling? During World War II, buying was controlled by requiring ration stamps for such items as sugar, tires, and fuel. Without these stamps, money was worthless. In this computerized age, a similar system would be easy to set up. For instance, unless you agreed to cooperate with the worldwide coalition, your Social Security Number could be entered into a database, showing that you are disqualified to make a purchase. No one knows precisely how all this will come about, but you can
be positive it will happen—because in Revelation 13:16, 17, God says it will.

Two Emerging Powers
Revelation chapter 13 is clear. Two superpowers will emerge in the end time: the United States of America and the papacy. The papacy is arguably the strongest religion political power in the world. Virtually every leading country has an official ambassador or state representative at the Vatican. The USA certainly faces challenges to its power from nations such as China and Russia, America’s overwhelming ability to stand down aggressors and rapidly deploy when needed continue to dominate the world. Trump might not hesitate to use the country’s influence to enforce new global standards, especially if promoted in the guise of world peace and stability after a difficult global event.

What other factors could help set the stage for a worldwide law?

A. The activity of terrorists

B. Escalating crime

C. Drug wars

D. A major economic crash

E. Epidemics

F. Nuclear threats

G. Political corruption

H. Miscarriage of justice

I. Social and political issues

J. Increasing taxes

K. Pornography

L. Global disasters

As a backlash against terrorism, lawlessness, immorality, permissiveness, injustice, poverty, bad political leaders, and many similar WOES could easily precipitate a DEMAND for strong, specific laws to be RIGIDLY enforced.

As world conditions worsen, what will Satan do to deceive the masses? “He performs GREAT signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” The USA will experience a COUNTERFEIT REVIVAL and will INSIST that religious laws be passed to FORCE every person to participate in worship.

The 78-year-old Trump has been making calls from Mar-a-Lago – where he has been making key decisions that will set up the frame work for his second term. DJT has been on the phone with more than 70 world leaders since the race was called. From trials, courtrooms, jailhouses, and emergency rooms to sold-out arenas, sports games, Trump’s crossed the country spreading his MAGA message reinvigorating his popularity. DJT promises economic, immigration and social reforms on the campaign trail, Trump has lots to make good on, but without FAITH in JESUS it is impossible to please God. “He is a beast!” Trump does not sleep, he eats burgers and snickers! He does not drink water, but Coke.

Do the right thing and abide in His love.  May the Divine Spirit of God cause our spirit and flesh to tremble. “Be not deceived.” Study the Scriptures to show yourself approved. Push the boulder of FAITH IN JESUS up the high hill of discernment. Love your enemies, make your bed, be kind, speak truth, shine His light, submit and obey, make the call, put garbage in the bin. Make the right  decision by choosing His Way, one choice at a time.  Listen to His voice and obey His word. Be grateful for His constant abiding. Our Guide is the Holy Spirit, and He waits for our willingness.  Be in alignment with the Promise Keeper who holds us all together. God Alone!

Our duty is to persevere as He leads. Make your life a conscious prayer of gratitude to Jesus for His sacrifice. ❤ God is intentional with us each day, and we honor His vigilant care of us by our moment to moment submission.  Listen to what the Spirit is saying. Proverbs 27:9 “Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice.”

Victory in Praise
