Bible Prophecy in the 21st Century

[Editor’s note: The inspiration behind this week’s essay is a song written and recorded by Country Music star, Tracy Lawrence. You can listen to it here: ]

Tracy Lawrence – When The Cowboy’s Gone (Official Music Video) – Bing video

The United States of America has certainly had its share of flaws in its history. Though founded upon ideals that were magnificently enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution of the United States and the Federalist Papers, there have been some missteps in two and one half centuries.

If one adjective describes America best, it is probably “overcoming.” America has been used to evaluating problems and then applying tenacity and sheer will to overcome the odds. Our history is filled with feats of coming from behind and overcoming obstacles. In the view of WN&PR, most, if not all nations have interesting histories and something their citizens can be proud of because God has given gifts liberally to all peoples, and the nations are filled with respective strengths. But there is a special place in the history of the world over the last 2 centuries as the United States rose from colonialism to the world’s greatest Super Power.

What will happen when the great power of the United States is not around to preserve the peace — who is going to protect the world from the many predators that are out there? The lyric of Tracy Lawrence song is haunting, and symbolic of what might happen next on the world stage:

“There’s always gonna be a bad guy, With a black-tooth grin and a notched up gun.

You can bet there’s gonna be a problem, If you call the law and they’re late showin’ up” “When we can’t see the cover Through the dust on our Bible, what’s next?”

“Who’s gonna ride in and save the day?  Who’s gonna throw that big John Wayne right hook when it looks like everything’s gone to hell? Tell me who?”

“What we need is more walk than talk in the windshield Not the rear view like some long lost song”

“cause this world’s in trouble when the Cowboy’s gone.”

With a new administration in place in Washington, newly installed President Biden signed 40 Executive Orders his first week in office, all of them a repudiation of the previous administration, which lowered personal and corporate taxes, helped make the nation energy independent for the first time in 60 years, strengthened the military without starting or prolonging a foreign war and began a campaign to strengthen the resolve and American power throughout the world.

And the world noticed and appreciated. Prior to the 2020 Presidential election, there were spontaneous rallies for America — in honor of the sitting President, in cities and capitals throughout the world, in nations as diverse as Nigeria, Israel, Japan and Taiwan, thousands marched in the streets of their respective nations chanting “Trump, Trump, “Make America Great Again,” waving American and MAGA flags as enthusiastic as if they were proud American citizens themselves. It was a scene the world has never before witnessed — other nations celebrating American leaders and leadership!

Americans are now faced with the prospect of higher energy costs as one of President Biden’s new Executive Orders eliminates one of the single most ingenious petroleum engineering techniques — fracking. In the Presidential debates in the fall of 2020, he denied he was against fracking. Additionally, another order closed the Keystone Pipeline construction project, eliminating thousands of jobs, and halting the conduit which would have carried millions of barrels of oil per year from Canada to Houston refineries. Other pipeline projects are also now in peril across the upper mid west. For the last four years, Americans have paid lower prices at the pump for gasoline since the invention of the internal combustion engine (when adjusted for inflation). Also in the sights of the new administration is the elimination of coal as an energy source — not welcome news in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Wyoming, where hundreds of years of coal are readily available.

Suddenly, America is poised from being the largest oil producer in the world for the first time in 70 years, to the potential of needing to once again import oil from nations that are less than friendly.

That isn’t even the worst news. Since the time the United States went off the “Gold Standard” in 1971, under President Nixon, the world has used the dollar as the “reserve currency.” That means oil, and virtually everything of industrial importance in the developed world, is priced in dollars. Other nations have to exchange dollars in order to buy oil and most everything else. Barrels of oil are priced in dollars, giving America a natural advantage. Because of multiple stimulus policies of various administrations, the world is awash in U.S. currency. When the nations of the world want to return those dollars — if another standard is chosen, virtually everything Americans pay for will increase dramatically, as the world seeks to repatriate dollars which have continually been devalued. What will we give them in exchange for paper currency? It may be a moot point, because at this moment, the nations of the world are poised like jackals, determining just how the wealth of America will be divided.

The Cowboy’s Gone

In the ancient, still fledging nation of Israel, hundreds of years after the 12 tribes left Egypt, the nation suffered a monumental defeat at the hands of the Philistines. Israel had failed to listen to God’s prophet, Samuel, and the entire nation suffered. The defeat was so humiliating to the people that the sense of God’s departure from the people of Israel was captured by the exclamation of a dying mother in childbirth, “The glory has departed from Israel!” You can read about the story in I Samuel 4.

“Make America Great Again,” wasn’t simply a campaign slogan or empty rhetoric. It was an acknowledgment of something lost. America had slipped. Some leaders claimed there was nothing unique about the American experience of the past 200 years. In the last four years, though, being American became “cool” again. Unfortunately, the 2020 Presidential election will forever be stained by the accusation and growing evidence of election malfeasance, fraud and foreign interference. We as Americans, as well as most of the rest of the world must now face the real possibility of the rapid decline in the power and prestige of the nation. Nature abhors a vacuum, as we learned in 7th grade science class, and the same lesson applies to nations. For decades the U.S. Navy has patrolled the seven seas and protected the flow of goods and services — basically a free service to the entire world. China is a growing naval power, claiming control of the South China Sea. If there is a power shift in the world, who will end up on top?

There is no current evidence that America can continue to lead the world. Why? Because of Lawlessness. The United States is founded upon the precepts of the Bible which guarantee freedoms for the individual. The first Amendment of the Constitution is the guarantee of freedom of speech. Very suddenly, that freedom is being abridged with the de-listing of individuals on Social Media platforms by the largest technology companies. Big Tech, Big Media and Big Government have merged their forces. In Communist countries, enemies of the state are individual citizens who express opinions that don’t agree with the State. The ability of private citizens to freely express themselves may be the the greatest of all individual freedoms. When that right is abrogated and individuals are censored, America is on a very slippery downward slope.

Limiting individual freedoms may be just beginning. Not that many Churches in America today cry out against lawlessness, but those that do may be in the sights of those who wish to suppress the ideas, thoughts and speech of those they disagree with. In 2017, President Trump signed an Executive Order which eliminated a policy called the “Johnson Amendment,” enacted in 1954. This amendment strictly prohibited churches from participating in the political sphere. The “Johnson Amendment” was never enforced, primarily because it was never determined that the freedom of churches to comment on the matters of the state was a threat to the state. President Trump’s order allowed churches to freely comment on political matters, because governmental matters often conflict with the need of the church to preach its message. Can you imagine a scenario in which it is illegal for the church to speak out against abortion?

Christians must understand that their responsibility is always to the truth of the Bible first. Christians must pray for discernment and wisdom in dealing with man’s governments and leaders who do not share the values of the Bible. The Bible does not endorse submission to man’s governments in every matter. Romans 13:1-6 and 2 Peter 2:13-15 each encourage Christians to be obedient members of society. Apostles Paul and Peter each made the point that human leaders and governments are for the purpose of protecting us from evil, and they encouraged lawful behavior of the believer. When the high priest and the Sadducees arrested the Apostles, put them in prison, and forbade them to preach in the name of Jesus, Peter defiantly proclaimed to them; “we ought to obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)

The challenge within the United States, missed by many, is the linkage between freedom of speech and religious freedom. If the Church is deemed to be an Enemy of the State — say ‘adios’ to both — “the world’s in trouble when the Cowboy’s gone.”

If society seems in disarray to you, what can you do to prepare for the future? Preparing in a physical way may be helpful in the short term, for sure. You can store food and water, invest in precious metals and Bitcoin or blockchain technology and make other physical preparation. But you cannot insure your physical salvation! The Bible Tracy Lawrence said many may not be able to see because of the dust on the cover warns us that this world is facing a worldwide time of deception and tribulation. If you haven’t done so recently, you need to review the signs Jesus gave His disciples preceding His 2nd coming. Matthew 24:4-7, featuring religious deception, wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes are just a warmup to a “great tribulation,” verse 21, engulfing the entire world.

Note, without prejudice, the events of the Covid 19 health crisis of 2020. Whether the truth is that the crisis was exaggerated or accurately portrayed by Big Government, Big Media and Big Tech (nothing suspicious with any of these institutions, right?) They only have our best interests always, right? They are entirely reliable and trustworthy in their business dealings at all times? None of our fancy phones or high tech gadgets are manufactured in far away countries like China in virtual slave labor camps, true? Sure, its all on the up and up! If you want to continue with that theory, carry on!

The takeaway lesson from 2020 is the ease with which all these entities helped one another to achieve compliance of shut down and virtue signaling though mask wearing obedience of the worldwide population. Whether you believe some, all or none of it was contrived, you must admit the obvious — it worked. But here is the danger for the future; Bible Prophecy points us to the time when World ruling governments, along with a false church, will exercise authority over the entire planet! Look, if Tech, Media and Government can work together to convince the world to lockdown, stay at home, wear masks, and achieve a high rate of compliance — how easy will it be for the most powerful government and a revived powerful church that is deceiving the masses with powerful wonders, signs and miracles? Revelation 13 outlines this horrible result of the future, with a “Beast” — Bible symbol for government and/or leader — rising to power with a bewitching enticement to the entire world (verse 4), the ability to blaspheme the true God and going to war — hunting down true people of faith and belief (verse 6-7).

Today, the world barely notices that human slavery is at an all time high on the planet, so it is no surprise that while there is a modern day martyrdom of Christians prophesied in the Bible, everyone else will marvel and hold this new world order up to the highest level of admiration. (verse 8) Now add another component. A religious one that seems “Christ like” — “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.” (Revelation 13:11) This individual is also described in 2 Thessalonians 2. These 2 “Beasts” — a secular world ruling government in alignment with a church government — will collude together to rule the world.

OK, not so happy times ahead. But there is a bright side!

The Calvary is Coming!

“Who’s going to ride in and save the day?” Well, Jesus Christ is. Revelation 19 among many passages describe Jesus future return to this earth. In this essay, I’ve left out many of the “horrible parts” of Bible Prophecy, simply alluding to the time of greatest tumult in the entire history of the earth. Mankind has never experienced the kind of maniacal tyranny that lies ahead. Be prepared — pray and study your Bible. Be alert and prepare spiritually every day of your life.

Often overlooked is the fact that when Jesus returns, to punish the evil which has reached such a zenith that hundreds of millions will have already been killed in worldwide tumult, He will not come alone. He will bring with Him, His righteous “saints” — those who have responded through the ages of man, to God’s call to repentance and salvation. (verse 14) Jesus’ return also heralds a great resurrection of those who have “died in Christ,” as well as those who “remain alive,” at the time of His return. (1 Thessalonians 4:15, 1 Corinthians 15:50-54)

Will that include you? WN&PR certainly hopes so! May God bless you and encourage you. We all need it for the world truly is in trouble!

Many thanks to Tracy Lawrence for writing a beautiful song about America’s role in the world!

The GOOD NEWS (a modern translation of the word “Gospel”) is; the Great God of the Bible is going to deliver mankind from the corruption that is rampant and growing. (Galatians 1:3-5) It is not only a spiritual deliverance as Paul indicates in the Letter to the Galatians, but a dramatic intervention in man’s affairs with the return of Jesus Christ, with His massive heavenly army, which will bring to an end, the horror, depravity and cruelty of the rule of man. (Revelation 19:13) Supernatural force and intervention will be needed to subdue the growing wickedness as evil accelerates in force and volume in the coming years. The Apostle Paul prophesied that “evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:12-14)

For many years, those of us in the United States have lived in an environment of freedom and advancement. It is difficult for us to comprehend otherwise. Above all nations in the history of the world, the United States have been blessed beyond measure.

For instance; in the last few years, after decades of dependence on the Middle East and other nations for oil, the United States became a net exporter of energy. As it turns out, the US recently discovered massive supplies of oil, natural gas, coal and liquified natural gas (LNG). In the last decade, the United States has implemented the technology that unlocks one of mankind’s greatest needs — energy sustainability. We are a far cry from the desperate 70’s when all the experts thought we would run out of fossil fuel. As it turns out, we have more than we need. For hundreds of years.

But instead of exploiting and utilizing this wonderful natural resource and blessing from God, (Genesis 49:25) the leadership of the nation is now intent on rejecting this blessing, and instead focusing on “green energy.” Energy from the sun, wind and hydro electric power can be viable for some power needs, but why neglect the abundant resources readily available while the United States has also showed increasingly low levels of pollution? In order to understand the dramatic shift in policy in the greatest nation in the history of the world, we need to look to The Holy Bible and it’s Prophetic utterances.

In approximately 553 BC, the prophet Daniel was given a vision by the angel Gabriel .(Daniel 8:16) The prophecy of Daniel, chapter 8, revealed to Daniel the future for the next few hundred years, but the greatest impact of the vision was for the “time of the end.” (Daniel 8:17, 23) If you aren’t familiar with this chapter, get your Bible out right now and read it. Many historians and Bible archeologists have recognized this prophecy refers to the defeat of the Persian Empire and the rise of Alexander the Great, over two centuries before the Greco-Macedonian Empire displaced Persia! But for Daniel, and all who follow after his lifetime, the greatest meaning wasn’t for thousands of years ago — it is for today!

The vision given to Daniel was so vivid and realistic that after he was wakened from sleep (Daniel 8:18) by Gabriel, he fainted and was ill for several days. (Daniel 8:27) What did he see? A future time in which the world would be embroiled in a cataclysmic power struggle, not the classic “good vs evil” story, but a time in which very little good remains, only evil and more evil. Daniel saw a time in which lawlessness would be so rampant, that evil and deceitfulness would reach a crescendo. (Daniel 8:23) It is the time in which God must intervene with his Son, Jesus.

In the famous Olivet prophecy, Jesus said, of the exact time that Daniel prophesied, that God MUST intervene in the affairs of man: Matthew 24 “²¹ For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. ²² And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; ⁽but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.”

Most of our populations, growing up in the 20th and 21st centuries understand the capability of the destructive power of the atom. Since the early 1950’s mankind has had the ability to destroy itself through the nuclear capability of only two nations, the United States and the United Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). Though the USSR is no longer united, Russia still controls most of the nuclear arsenal of the old Union. Now many other nations have joined the “Nuclear Club.” The point is; we have been at the place Jesus described in Matthew 24 for many years. This is the reason for the imminent and necessary return of Jesus to save the world from the tyranny that will be unleashed upon mankind.

As this report is being written, forces and nations are lining up to dissect and dismantle the power and wealth of the United States. These nations are eventually condemned by God, for their jealousy, envy and lust. (Obadiah 10-16)

The “Gospel” message — the Good News of Bible Prophecy, is that after Jesus return, all nations will be anxious to learn of the true God. (Isaiah 2:1-4) In the meantime, what can and what should you do?

If you are new to WN&PR, we should explain that our purpose is not to use Bible Prophecy for the purpose of providing physical salvation. Christ said in His monumental, final prophecy to His disciples, on the Mount of Olives, that they should “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke21:36)

Pray for God’s intervention in the affairs of mankind and the establishment of His Kingdom. (Matthew 6:9-10)

That is our wish for you! May God bless you and protect you!

[Editor’s Note: This analysis is provided to WN&PR readers by Michael W. Yates, Pharm.D., R.Ph. Dr. Yates earned his degree in Pharmacology from Auburn University, and his Doctorate at the University of Florida. We publish this in the public interest in light of the many questions raised regarding the validity of infection rate, cases, and actual deaths as result of the Covid-19 outbreak]

To say this question is complicated is an incredible understatement.  The discussion must be considered requiring an evaluation on individual bases, not a black-and-white/ all-or-none decision.  To begin, there are currently 2 vaccines approved in the US via the FDA Emergency Use Authorization process, in an effort to make them available in record time to the public.  These are both messenger RNA (m-RNA) vaccines that cause the ribosomes inside cells to produce fragments of the spike proteins surrounding the viruses, which then act as antigens to stimulate the protection of antibodies in large quantities, that will, in turn, attack other invading viruses.  There are quite a number of other vaccines in development that work in multiple ways (including DNA based antivirals, viral vector versions, and protein subunit-based vaccines) that may get approval in the future.  The current vaccines were pursued first because they were able to be developed quickly and be produced in large amounts, but they are still considered “experimental” because of several factors, including no animal studies.  A significant benefit for these vaccines was the rapidity with which an effective tool could become available to a fairly large population at risk.  This is not the first time m-RNA vaccines have been attempted, but this is the first time this type of vaccine has been approved. 

These two vaccines (produced by Pfizer and Moderna) have seen similar efficacy in trials of 35-40,000 patients each with reductions of infection in the area of 95% vs patients given placebo.  Also, these trials saw a highly significant reduction in patients who did become infected being designated as “severely ill”, so even if patients received the vaccine and subsequently contracted, their illness was much less severe.  There have been some logistical problems, however, in the distribution and storage of these vaccines, especially as Pfizer’s version required storage of -70◦ C (or -94◦ F) which requires special freezers that are not commonly available.  Cases of vaccine supplies having to be destroyed due to improper storage have been seen numerous times.  This also requires 30 minutes or more to thaw out before administration.  One report from the CDC showed 21 serious anaphylactic reactions had already occurred in the US between Dec 14-30, not to mention incidents of Bell’s palsy, injection site reactions, and other reactions.  While still considered “rare”, these exceed the incidence seen with flu vaccines.

 A more recent concern posed by some experts is one called ADE (antibody-dependent enhancement).  This is a situation where the body’s normal defense system becomes detrimental to the individual.  When viruses enter a body and encounter inadequate or less-than-effective antibodies that should destroy them, their ability to enter a host cell is actually enhanced and replication begins. This leads to increases in the virus now being produced and they are more infectious and virulent.  This phenomenon can happen when a patient is reinfected with virus, or when one is given a vaccine and then subsequently infected by a virus.  This latter issue was seen in animal studies for vaccines used to combat other Coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV and MERS, as well as vaccines for other viruses (Dengue fever, ebola, HIV, RSV, and Zika).  How much slight mutations in these viruses into other variants increase this risk has yet to be completely understood, but most of these ADE events were seen in animal studies for other vaccines prior to approval, and thereby prevented those vaccines from being approved.

To emphasize the position of this article, NO ONE KNOWS the risk of ADE from any of these new vaccines.  They may not ever occur, or if they do, is the risk any higher than that seen in patients whose natural immunity declines so that they are re-infected in the future.  However, it must be studied and evaluated as we go forward in an effort to better understand this current pandemic. 

Now the question of who should receive such vaccines must be asked.  Remember, the survival rate for patients infected who are 69 or younger, according to the CDC, is greater than 99%, and 94.6% for those older than 69.  While numerous authorities in the US have denounced the use of hydroxychloroquine, many groups have published data and articles showing efficacy of the drug.  The question of safety has been recklessly made by some when it has been used for over 60 years without causing the issues raised by these fearmongers. It is widely used for rheumatoid arthritis patients and for malaria.  In fact, rates of SARS-Cov 2 infection in sub-Saharan Africa have been far lower than most other places in the world, and use of hydroxychloroquine use there is common.  As of Nov 14, only 46,000 deaths from this virus were seen in the entire continent of over 1 billion people, only 16% of that seen in the US.  This latter statistic also should call into question the proposed increased risk of patients based on race, as Africa obviously has a majority population of black individuals.  Ivermectin is another therapy that is now used as part of many hospital protocols for virus infected patients, and appears to be helping patients recover quickly and well.  When you also see other therapies like Remdesivir, bamlanivimab, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc are now available for treating patients who do become ill, it now becomes reasonable to ask who then should get the vaccine.  Given the data, one should look at a patient’s age, co-morbidities, and risk factors which include work environment (especially working in nursing homes or with other potentially sick patients), prior vaccine reaction issues, general health, etc.  As with all drugs, every patient must weigh the risks vs the benefits expected from such vaccinations and decide for themselves, and for those not medically trained, include the input from your physician and or pharmacist in making that decision.  Making such a decision based on what one sees on the internet or “heard” from some source (whether on some form of media or just from a neighbor or relative) is unwise and could be costly.

Michael W. Yates

According to Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader, January 6, 2021, the day the U.S. Congress met to certify the Presidential election, will go down as one of the most tragic events in American history. When the combined houses re-convened to verify the November 3, 2020 election results, his remarks were introduced into the record:

“It is very, very difficult to put into words what has transpired today. I have never lived through or even imagined an experience like the one we have just witnessed in this Capitol. President Franklin Roosevelt set aside Dec. 7, 1941, as a day that will live in infamy. Unfortunately, we can now add Jan. 6, 2021, to that very short list of dates in American history that will live forever in infamy.“

“This temple to democracy was desecrated, its windows smashed, our offices vandalized. The world saw Americans’ elected officials hurriedly ushered out because they were in harm’s way. The House and Senate floors were places of shelter until the evacuation was ordered, leaving rioters to stalk these hallowed halls.“

Various news organizations categorized what happened that day as a “riot,” “a Capitol breach,” and “one of the most horrific events in American history.” According to Senator Schumer and several of his colleagues, it was the equivalent of the carnage of World War 2, the crash of the Hindenburg, 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, all rolled into one.

Facts Matter — Or Do They?

It was John Adams, America’s second President, who said; “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” It may have been a good idea for our political leaders and major news media outlets, along with a gullible public to wait for the facts and truth to emerge before leaping to conclusions.

• Fact: There were over 1 million visitors in the Nation’s capitol on January 6.
• Fact: Hundreds of thousands were listening to President Trump address his supporters
• Fact: The Capitol building is a 45 minute walk through the city, from the Ellipse, where the President spoke
• Fact: Several skirmishes with Capitol Police began on the steps of the Capitol, but these attacks began at least a half hour prior to the President finishing his remarks.
• Fact: No one has the exact count, but the number of individuals who actually entered into the Capitol were probably several hundred. And most of them were allowed, by police to casually to stroll through the Capitol. Probably several dozen went into the Congressional and Senate Chambers. They shouldn’t have, and someone stole a laptop, which was wrong.

In the conclusion of his speech, the President said: “So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I want to thank you all. God bless you and God bless America. Thank you all for being here, this is incredible. Thank you very much. Thank you.”

Oh the horror! We can see why passions ran high, right? What inflammatory speech! Pardon the sarcasm. News headlines blurted out; “Trump’s speech incites violent mob.” The inconvenient fact is that any violence was the result of false flag radical left groups, sometimes mixed in with Trump supporters. One misguided Air Force veteran, Ashli Babbitt was shot in the neck, at point blank range, by a plain clothes Capitol policeman. Ms. Babbitt shouldn’t have been in the building, she shouldn’t have tried to crawl through a broken window but she shouldn’t have been shot without warning. There were a number of heavily armed police surrounding her and others on the landing. Though her actions were uncalled for, her execution and death were unnecessary and tragic.

The Capitol building is one of the largest public buildings in the world. Undoubtedly, tens of thousands surrounded the Capitol that day, but the violent acts were confined to a small area, and not committed by Trump supporters. In fact the video evidence shows many wrestling down those who were trying to break in. The vast majority who actually entered the Capitol looked like they were on a tour, and the few who went into the Senate chambers left peaceably when asked.

The appropriate videography mix of the thousands on the steps of the Capitol, the cut away to violence perpetrated by a few radicals, and Senator Schumer’s sober comments about the hallowed ground being desecrated, was all that was needed to seal the deal; the objection to the alternate electors from 6 key states was swept away, not by law, not by the Constitution, not by tradition or precedence, but by hyperbole and lies. The media made it seem like “tens of thousands stormed into the Capitol building,” like invading Vandals and Ostrogoths into Imperial Rome. But the truth is the over 1 million Americans peaceably assembled in Washington to give their support to the President, and then went home.

Net Result

At WN&PR, we don’t have a “dog in the hunt.” It is hard to ignore the thousands of witnesses who signed affidavits, under penalty of perjury, forensic computer scientists, and conclude that there wasn’t massive election tampering in the 2020 Presidential election. But what is done is done. Are these actions evidence of the fulfillment of Bible Prophecy?

Consider the Prophet Ezekiel. He was taken from his homeland of Judah to captivity in Babylon, almost 600 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. Ezekiel was given a strange mission, considering the logistics, and the current state Ezekiel found himself in, as a member of the tribe of Judah, one of the 12 tribes that had been released from the captivity of Egypt over 850 years earlier. Ezekiel describes an incredible encounter with God, by vision, along with His angelic realm. (Ezekiel 1) The mission given to the prophet must have sounded impossible to achieve. He was told to take this prophecy to “the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has “rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.” (Ezekiel 2:3)

The prophecy given to Ezekiel was not intended for his people — the Jews now in captivity. He was to prophesy to the “house of Israel.” But the house of Israel — the rest of the tribes of the formerly united Kingdom of Israel (under Saul, David and Solomon) had been conquered and carried away to Assyria some 125 years earlier! Ezekiel had an impossible job — how could he extricate himself from captivity in Babylon and make it to the remainder of the tribes of Israel? [Editors note: Genesis 49 and Deuteronomy 33 list all 12 Tribes.]

We have no Biblical record of Ezekiel finishing his mission to take a warning message to the house of Israel. Certainly “Israel,” or the so called “lost ten tribes” are the focal point of this book, as the name “Israel,” is mentioned 180 times in Ezekiel — more than any other book in the Bible.

For Our Time Today

If Ezekiel was given a prophetic message, directed to a people he could not easily contact, with explicit warning of impending captivity, the only possible meaning is that most of Ezekiel’s prophecy — a warning message to entire nations — is yet to be fulfilled!

The promise is given to the descendants of Jacob and the whole house of Israel that they will be brought back from captivity at some point in the future, to the lands God intended for them. (Ezekiel 39) Much of this prophecy is yet to be fulfilled.

But back to the present day. Ezekiel 34, among many other passages, indicts the shepherds of Israel. These are obvious references to the rulers and leaders of the nation, who ignore the plight of the average citizen, while basking in luxury themselves. Corruption and lawlessness among the ruling class of ancient Israel was the primary reason God removed His protective hedge from them in ancient times, allowing the mighty Assyrian army to punish them and carry them away captive, beginning 721 BC, after ignoring the pleas of many of the holy prophets sent to them. History, and in this case Prophecy repeats!

It may not be too long into the future when the prophetic message of Ezekiel is given to those who are most responsible for the determination of a Nation’s fate — its local, state, and national leaders. God speed that day! Will Ezekiel’s message be heeded? Read the book and find out!

If the last four years have shown anything those who are wide awake — it is the spotlight on those who are supposed to lead by example in our nation, not commanding and mandating rules and principles to the governed that they themselves are unwilling to adhere to.

In the classic Sci-Fi film of 1980, the dreaded Empire, led by Darth Vader, strikes back at the Rebel force that had scored an upset victory three years earlier with the destruction of the Death Star.

In the movie, the evil “Empire” strikes at the Rebel forces, hidden on the Ice Planet of Hoth with overwhelming force. How often life imitates art, with apologies to non Star Wars fans.

The Capitol “Riot”

It is clear that the plan to defeat Donald Trump, began shortly after his shocking and surprise victory in 2016. His entire term was clouded with faux investigations and the attempted removal from office through impeachment last February.

Last Wednesday, over 1 million supporters of the President gathered in Washington, D.C. and peaceably gathered, and many of them listened to President Trump’s address the multiple counts of election fraud.

in the mainstream media, the headlines this week falsely claim that the President’s speech incited his supporters to riot and breach the Capitol building. The New York Post reported; “supporters of President Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday in a futile attempt to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.” The only problem with the major media narrative is that the breach of the Capitol began long before the President finished his speech.

What really happened that day at the Capitol?

The individuals who started the insurrection were dressed as Trump supporters, but also in the classic garb of Antifa and BLM; camo uniforms, backpacks, helmets, knee and elbow pads. Certainly some few misguided Trump supporters walked into the Capitol building, but overall, probably only a few hundred people altogether were part of the disturbance, and the video evidence showed only a few were clashing with the Capitol police, and the worst thing most of them did was take videos and “selfies” as they strolled through the building — even staying within the guidelines of the velvet rope stanchions.

News reports of the last few days indicate Intelligence agencies, including the FBI knew that insurgent groups, including Antifa, not Trump supporters, had been planning on staging a riot at the Capitol Building for weeks.

Propaganda In America

On March 6, over 1 million Americans assembled in Washington D.C. for the purpose of expressing their will to the Congress of the United States, that a fair review of the 2020 Presidential election take place. Senator Ted Cruz had a reasonable suggestion; that 10 days be allotted for the State legislatures to investigate the contested election and election tampering. The President said, “we will peacefully march to the Capitol.” That’s it.

On the basis of the false information that the President’s speech incited a “riot,” the social apps Twitter and Facebook banned the President for life from their platforms. Within hours, millions of users left Twitter for a competitor, Parler. Almost immediately, Apple and Google removed Parler’s application from their platforms, and Amazon de-lister Parler from its internet servers. So much for free speech.

The Capitol break in was a planned, staged operation to discredit President Trump. It gave the Democrat party pretext to a second impeachment. The failure of the Deep State was that their insurrection on the Capitol began long before the President finished his speech. Watching the evening news, though, the true text of the President’s speech was not even mentioned, and the videos showing the Police being attacked happened while hundreds of thousands of Americans, assembled peaceably in Washington D.C., and had no idea what was happening.

Donald Trump’s win in 2016 upset the Washington system, exposed the massive amount of foreign influence in both Democrat and Republican parties. It was in the best interest of the Washington “swamp,” to insure that Trump would not win a second term.

The “deep state” needed a breach of the Capitol in order to demonize President Trump and his supporters. After 4 years of failed wrongful accusation, is it a stretch to believe that the demonstrations at the Capitol were planned by the same system that has been antagonistic to the goals of President Trump and the American people?

What’s Next?

The new administration is already showing that it is coming after the First and Second Amendments; guaranteeing freedom of speech, assembly and the right to bear arms. President Elect Biden has already vowed to “come after the National Rifle Association.”

The far left usually signal their intention. Strong suggestions have been made that conservatives and supporters of President Trump should be sent to “re-education” camps or that their children be taken away from the toxic environment of their parents. As Orwellian as it all appears, with control of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, there is really nothing to stop the agenda of the far left, especially with Big Tech and Big Media all fighting to achieve the same goals.

Who Is The Empire?

The Holy Bible helps us to understand the future, as well as the world we live in today. The Apostle Paul declared that there is a “god of this world.” (2 Corinthians 4:4) His goal is massive deception and confusion. (Revelation 12:9) The devil thrives in an environment of lawlessness. (2 Thessalonians 2:2:7-12) Lawlessness will continue to be a growing trend in the future, but the twist of the end time is that those who compel their fellow man to break the 10 Commandments of God, will masquerade as “angels of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15)

The Empire of the Devil, the god of this world, has influenced the minds of those who hate law, order, morality, and righteousness. (Ephesians 2:1-2) After January 20, it is likely the floodgates of lawlessness and liberalism will overtake the United States of America.

What Can You Do?

Jesus Christ told Pontius Pilate “my Kingdom is not of this world.” (John 18:36) Many Americans are angry and frustrated because they realize their country, a nation of individual rights, freedoms, and law and order is in rapid decline. Take encouragement from Jesus declaration (Matthew 24:14) that the Good News of HIS KINGDOM will be preached — announced to all mankind — before His return to earth, to replace all man’s governments and establish His 1,000 year reign of peace!

WN&PR

January 10, 2021. Bible Prophecy indicates a future time in which the descendants of ancient Israel would face a time of National calamity. Jeremiah 30, verse 7, describes it as “the time of Jacob’s trouble,”

On Wednesday, January 6, President Trump delivered what is likely to be his last public address, just before the combined houses of Congress met to certify the election of November 3, 2020.

The Greatest Theft in American History

In his speech, the President cited the numerous incidences of election tampering and fraud in six key states; Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. Each of these states, plus New Mexico sent 2 sets of Electors, one for each candidate, President Trump and Mr. Biden. Mr. Trump’s speech publicly verified the massive theft of the 2020 Presidential election and was a last appeal to Vice President Mike Pence, to fulfill his Constitutional duty.

As President of the Senate, the Vice President had the power to ask the individual State Legislatures to investigate and verify the evidence of fraud and determine the true will of the people of their States. The States have the power of the U.S. Constitution conduct full investigations of election fraud, but most of them were not in session during the weeks after the election. Some of them conducted unofficial hearings, but were powerless in most cases to change the “official” results that were verified by Governors and Secretary’s of State, in favor of candidate Biden, because they were not in session.

Even before the conclusion of the President’s speech, delivered to hundreds of thousands of supporters, several hundred people began fighting with Capitol police, and Major news media outlets falsely alleged that the President incited his supporters to breach the Capitol. Nothing the President said could be construed as encouraging violence in any way.

Unraveling the confusion that ensued after the President’s speech is difficult but the following is clear:

• Several hundred Antifa and BLM activists were bused to the Capitol in vans and buses, accompanied by District of Columbia police escort.
• Most of those who breached the Capitol were not Trump supporters, but had camouflaged themselves with Make America Great gear, hats, flags, etc.
• Some few supporters of the President joined in the melee, but the operation appeared staged as Capitol police actually escorted most of the Protestors into the Capitol building, while others were breaking windows in other parts of the Capitol.
• One news organization has already written the headline that Trump supporters were “breaching the Capitol” at 9:33 am, several hours before President Trump began his speech. The news organization in question now disputes this claim, but WN&PR saw the report long before the entire story developed.
• There were only a few hundred Capitol and District of Columbia Police guarding the entrances, totally inadequate for the task when the DC Capital police and the Houses of Congress were warned through intelligence agencies that Antifa was going to create a disturbance.

The Fix Was In

After the staged protest was over, the Capitol building was cleared and the House and Senate and House reconvened to debate the merits of alternate electors. Congressman and Senators withdrew their objections to certification of Joseph Biden. and eventually he was certified as President Elect, and will be inaugurated as America’s 46th President on January 20, 2021.

The fact is that there were only a few hundred people that went into the Capitol building, almost none of them were Trump supporters. Video evidence show many people trying to restrain those who were breaking widows and trying to force their entry into the Capitol. Most were there standing at the Capitol building in a peaceful fashion.

Almost immediately, headlines appeared that it was Trump’s speech which had incited the violence at the Capitol, and supporters of the President were blamed for the breach, when it was the peaceful supporters who were discouraging the storming of the building.

The Silencing of the President

Then Big Government, Big Tech, and Big Media acted quickly against the President of the United States by threatening to invoke the 25th amendment — immediate removal from office, and also eliminating the possibility of holding public office again, canceling his social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook and disabling the email servers of his campaign account.

It is apparent that the defeat of Donald J. Trump by cheating and subterfuge is not enough for the Democrat party. They want him shamed out of office before his last 10 days in office, with a reenactment of President Nixon’s shameful exit from office, forced to leave by helicopter from the White House lawn after he resigned from office in August, 1974.

God’s Warning To The Unjust Leaders of America

The prophet Micah was sent to warn the leaders of the ten tribes of Israel, the Northern Kingdom of their sinful behavior and lawlessness. These people were the descendants of the ancient Patriarch Jacob. The events of this book took place over 2700 years ago. But Bible Prophecy often has end time application and Micah is filled with warnings meant for our day today. The indictment of the leadership class is as true now as it was in Micah’s day:

“And I said: “Hear now, O heads of Jacob, And you rulers of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know justice? You who hate good and love evil; Who strip the skin from My people, And the flesh from their bones: Who also eat the flesh of My people, Flay their skin from them, Break their bones, And chop them in pieces Like meat for the pot, Like flesh in the caldron.” (Micah 3:1-3)

The elected leaders of our nation have a sworn duty to uphold the law and Constitution of the United States. Under our system, they are supposed to be servants of the people, serving the interest of those who appointed them to office. If the last four years has illuminated anything, it is how widespread and corrupt our governmental systems are, with many leaders on the payroll of foreign interests and nations. They have profited by exporting whole industries to nations like China.

If the Bible predicts the “end time” events, which nation on earth does this prophecy most apply? Micah 5: 7: ” The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for anyone or depend on man.

The 20th and 21st centuries have showcased the delivering power of the United States, along with Great Britain, in two world wars, and through the last 70 years has provided protection and balance of power against communism for all the nations of the world.

The next verse in Micah shows the power and determination of Jacob’s descendants: Micah 5: ⁸ “The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which mauls and mangles as it goes, and no one can rescue.”

Micah indicates the supreme military power of the United States. Micah 5: ^9″ Your hand will be lifted up in triumph over your enemies, and all your foes will be destroyed.”

This has been our history of the past 70 years, but at the height of Jacob’s power, it will be cut down: Micah 5: ¹⁰ “In that day,” declares the Lord, “I will destroy your horses from among you and demolish your chariots. ¹¹ I will destroy the cities of your land and tear down all your strongholds.”

God says he will destroy the military power (horses, chariots) and that our cities will become desolate. Trump’s presidency stressed a respect for law enforcement, traditional American values, a staunch opposition to abortion, illegal immigration, putting the needs of the American people first, low taxation, strong military, revitalization of the manufacturing base and his administration did make headway on these initiatives through his first term, despite relentless opposition from without and even within his own party for his term of office.

Law vs Lawlessness

It is widely known that President Elect Joe Biden and his son Hunter used his former office of Vice President to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign nations, Russia, the Ukraine and China, in exchange for favorable treatment for China in trade deals and lax regulations. That all changed with the election of President Trump in 2016. Trump began to negotiate aggressively with China and vowed to “put America first.” This is why it has been so vital for many foreign actors to infiltrate the voting and computer systems of our national election to insure that Trump would lose the election. With the intelligence available to him as President, Trump knows the election was stolen.

And now the President of the United States has been cut off from communicating with the nation by the media and tech giants that are mounting all of their extensive might to restrict, shame and discredit him before he leaves office.

Those of us who live in the United States are living through the most dramatic and sweeping change in the 244 year history of the nation. How can the swift and decisive action taken against a sitting President be explained?

In Revelation 12:9, the Apostle John saw an incredible vision; Satan being cast to earth with all his deceptive power to influence events and the last years of man’s history before Jesus’ return to earth. It appears this spiritual force has gained an advantage over man in the last year with the advent of the Covid-19 Pandemic, which has gripped the world in fear and paranoia — at a time in which the overall deaths by all causes is almost exactly the same as it has been in previous years. Is it possible the Devil has been allowed greater freedom to exercise his deceptive and manipulative force on mankind recently? The universal, worldwide response to the health crisis may indicate the same.

The transition of power in virtually every previous Presidential election has been routine. In a Democratic Republic, change is often gradual. But with control of both Houses of Congress, the Presidency, and the Judicial branch (as evidenced by the refusal of multiple courts to even hear cases of election fraud) the pieces of American decline are fully in place. There is nothing to stop the radical leftist agenda of the incoming administration, which has as its foundation lawlessness and immorality.

The fall of America did not begin with the breach of the Capitol Building by a few hundred agent provocateurs — led by Antifa, BLM and Qanon sympathizers. It began with greatest theft in the history of the world — the stolen election of 2020!

The consequences of this theft for the American people are likely to be immediate and detrimental to the ideals of the American Republic.

What You Can Do

Strange as it may seem to many who have been critical of President Trump’s past, few Presidents in the history of the United States have given more credit to God or acknowledged God’s providence in blessing the United States of America. None of our past Presidents have supported the Right to Life movement as much as President Trump. If his future, and that of his family is determined in any degree by his enemies, they will stop at nothing to shame and humiliate he and his family from this point on. Their hatred to him is actually a hatred that is a reflection of the will and mind of Satan.

In Psalm 47, the Psalmist writes that God loves Jacob, meaning He loves the people He granted favor and blessings above all nations. As a people, we have received the most bountiful blessings and wealth any nation has ever enjoyed. But as Bible Prophecy points out — it can all be lost quickly. As a nation, we may be at the edge of the cliff.

If God loves Jacob, or “Israel,” (Overcomer with God) as the patriarch Jacob’s name was changed to — then Satan hates the descendants of Jacob!

Eventually, at Jesus triumphant return, and after horrendous National destruction, God will save Jacob from his time of trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).

In light of the spectacular assault that has been made on the Presidency of Donald Trump, as well as his family, is there anything you can do? Yes! The Apostle Paul encouraged; Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, ² for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. ³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, (1 Timothy 2:1-3)

Pray for President Trump in these remaining days of his Presidency. Pray for his protection and for the safety of his family. It is our solemn duty as Christians to resist the wiles and strategies of the Devil, who is seeking to devour all and any he can, as a roaring lion. (1 Peter 5:7-8)
