Bible Prophecy in the 21st Century

Is Trump chaotic and is he really to blame for tensions with the EU and others? Let us explore the facts.

By Craig Martin White

In part one it was pointed out that President Trump and the elites all over the West and particularly in the European Union (EU) have fallen out of love, if they were ever in love. He wants the EU as a partner, not a vampire draining America of its wealth. Because of them, to a large degree, America is spending more on debt repayment interest that it is on defence itself. He and his officials know that this fiscal overreach is leading to America’s economic ruin and must be reined in urgently.

Almost every day the press and their websites contain tirades splattered against President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and other officials of the United States administration.

They are blamed for everything imaginable and anything that many to go wrong in the world, they are already prognosticating that Trump will be to blame. It is almost like they want him to fail in every respect (domestic policy, foreign policy, the economy). Or maybe they are arranging his failure? One prominent Australian newspaper’s website alone contains three to six such articles practically every day! It is clear that they don’t believe in democracy and any challenge to their cherished world order. An order that has become corrupt and is decaying from within.

These elites have rewritten the playbook, and Trump and his administration refuse to play by the changed rules.

They promote a narrative of “chaos” coming from Trump and his team. By stating this narrative over and over again many are deceived. But the worst part is when they believe their own lies. Or perhaps they don’t understand the workings of Trump and as political analysts they should. Instead, they lead astray those they seek to exploit by spreading a perception of the man. As most people do not have the time or interest in deeply understanding politics and world affairs, they rely on how they perceive politicians and those creating these perceptions are very good at how they ply their trade.

For example, a Member of the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt accused Trump of being the “greatest threat” and that “Trump is Putin’s puppet, and he’s making it clear: NATO’s greatest threat isn’t abroad, it’s sitting in the White House.”

Lying and exaggerating are unbecoming to ruling classes, but that is in their DNA. It is almost as if they cannot help themselves. By this method, they create views which are not necessarily accurate.

Politics is, after all, largely about perceptions. One of these surround Trump’s call for acquiring Greenland as a United States Territory as if this was something new or terrible or imperialistic.

However, President Andrew Johnson (1865-69) who was the one able to purchase Alaska from Russia, even attempted to purchase Greenland. Seventy-seven years later, in 1946, President Truman proposed the purchase of Greenland from Denmark. Then in 1955, the Joint Chiefs of Staff encouraged President Eisenhower to pursue the acquisition of Greenland. Trump is merely following in their footsteps.

Why is he doing this? It is because he is fully aware of the China threat and does not want them gaining a foothold in Greenland. What could possibly be wrong with that?

At a recent lecture at the Lowy Institute I attended here in Sydney, the panel presented a ‘single point of view’ and one panel member in particular, was deeply unfavourable toward Trump, even alleging that he was going to abandon Asia and Australia to China, frightening the audience. Nothing can be further from the truth and in fact, China’s behaviours is causing him to shift focus to our region.

The elites comprising woke/left-liberals, neo-conservatives (not true conservatives, but warmongers who were originally on the far Left but accepted capitalism, while holding on to liberal social values), liberal internationalists, neo-Marxist and the Greens, possess common interests and common foes. This merging coalition is intensely powerful and will not let go of their power. As they try and reverse the tide of emerging history, the more frustrated and angrier they tend to become.

They are also wary of any bruising encounters with Trump or any of his team who have proven themselves to be battle-hardened (literally) or in other realms of life such as politics or business. The European weaklings are so emasculated that they can only beat their breasts and gnash their teeth in anguish at this time.

George Friedman, noted the following in an article “Trump’s Place in US Political Cycles” which appeared in Geopolitical Futures (18 November 2024):

“Presidents are elected by aligning with the pressures that already exist, and they govern in response to these pressures. Since the United States is a democracy that should not be surprising…

“A transitional president like Reagan, Roosevelt or Jackson tends to usher in shifts that are often despised by the establishment until they are successful. One does not need to have supported Trump’s election to see how it will play out.”

Has Trump 2.0 Learned Lessons from Trump 1.0?

The first version of Trump had him beset on all sides including false allegations, witch hunts, betrayals, attempts at impeachment and the Covid lock-down fiasco.

Let alone the close encounter with a would-be assassin’s bullet not long prior to his second term. His resilience has been ‘over and above’ the ordinary.

But Trump 2.0 is a lot wiser, brazen and immensely more powerful. “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

Instead of moulding a team that is disparate in an attempt to be conciliatory toward the opposition, this time he is building one that is truly nationalistic and personally loyal. And with this being his final time he is permitted to hold the office, he seems to have adopted a “now or never” and “I don’t care what you think” approach which key members of his team such as James Vance, the Vice President and Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State have also subscribed to.

However, his unconventional approach continues. His use of hyperbole, floating idea ballons and even throwing grenades in the room persists.

Unlike Presidents Nixon and Reagan who were initially outsiders who worked their way through the establishment and created networks within various power groups, engaging the system, building alliances and understanding statecraft, Trump seemingly doesn’t understand statecraft and doesn’t care too much for it. And that may well be what is need nowadays when America is confronted with a room full of rowdy, ungrateful brats. Brats who bully others for not towing the line, even within their own ranks. Witnessing the undemocratic behaviours of the EU toward their own people is appalling to watch.

The recalcitrant brats in the EU after all, are the ones who have drifted away from their core European values and what ties them to America. Either due to incompetency or by deliberate design, President’s Obama and Biden pulled America far from its foundations and values, aligning with the far Left and semi-authoritarian leadership in Europe. Trump wants to undo all of this because continental Europe is slowly but surely drifting from America. Not the other way around.

In reality, Europe, if it did not drift from its and America’s roots, would have had little to fear from Trump’s Presidency. The blame for all the snarkiness in relating to Trump 2.0 lies squarely with them. It is they who have caused the backlash.

Thus, the President has more detractors than allies on the world stage, but still, there are some genuine allies who see what he is trying to do and give him moral support. One is Liz Truss who was ignominiously removed as Great Britain prime Minister: “We need a Trump style revolution. Everything that’s happening here saying there are two genders, dealing with the border, getting rid of net zero, and getting on with drill baby drill. That is what we need right now in Europe and it can’t come soon enough.”

And Europe, the centre or the world’s greatest grouping of sophisticated cultures, has its own civilisation which is under threat. It contains fissures within that civilisation that it must deal with and not pick a fight with Trump. All he is doing is attempting to have them look after themselves and solve their own problems without running like children to Daddy with a handout for more money. The brats need to learn a lesson, but they prefer to gang up on their superior.

Allow me to explain.

Civilisational fissures

Trump may not realise it, but one can only assume that his foreign policy specialists and advisors do: the world can be categorised in accordance civilisations and where those civilisations meet, is where we find many clashes and wars. And this will continue into the future.

Around 1996 or 1997 I came across a book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order by Samuel Huntington (1927-2008) in a bookstore and after browsing it, quickly recognised it as a “must” for the expansion of my knowledge in foreign relations and the impact that distinct civilisations have had and will have on world powers and their allies. I even wrote a short book review about it at that time.

These civilisational fissures may seem obvious to many in one sense, but it takes a political scientist or analyst to unpick the complexities and explain this to the ordinary man or woman.

Huntington’s book articulates several hypotheses regarding the significance of civilisational differences. It posits that these differences naturally results in growing awareness of civilisation-consciousness; and that conflicts between civilisations are likely to replace ideological and other forms of conflict as the primary mode of global discord.

Globalists simply cover their ears to these clear facts.

From in-depth research he could identify that there seemed to be the following civilisations: Western, Confucian, Japanese, Islamic, Hindu, Slavic‐Orthodox, Latin American, and African – eight in all. It was his prediction, based on history and where the ‘fissures’ lay on the borders of these civilisations, that this is where terrible conflicts would arise.

The following map portrays Huntington’s eight civilizations as he understood it:

Map source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_Civilizations

The book was an outgrowth of an earlier paper which impressed Richard Nixon so much that he congratulated him in the form of a written note stating that Huntington “raised issues that no one else, in or out of government, has adequately addressed.”

Huntington suggests that international relations will continue to see the rise of other powers, which represent other civilisations and he argues that effective political, security, and economic international institutions are more likely to arise within civilisations rather than between them. Additionally, he asserts that conflicts involving groups from different civilisations will occur with greater frequency, duration, and intensity compared to those within the same civilisation (although one wonders if that is always the case). He identifies violent confrontations between groups from different civilisations as the most probable and perilous catalyst for escalation that could potentially lead to global warfare.

Of course, like any good political science work, it can and should be reviewed. It tasks one to have another look and this author ponders on smaller fissures that likely exist in places like South Africa. Or a union of outlying civilisations in Central Europe between Orthodox and Western. Such is the complexity of this world and the divisiveness of mankind. There are many such smaller fissures – mirroring the larger ones – in the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere.

Various media gave a nod at the book with a mere sideways glance while elites occupying the think-tanks where they meet to sip their lattes, dine lusciously and conjure up ways to influence governments, did not appreciate the wisdom contained therein.

Ukraine is one area where Trump must be careful not to get too involved in which can lead to entanglement and deeper engagement and lengthy, drawn-out conflicts. At this stage, he is following the example of Presidents Nixon and Reagan. Their philosophy was “peace through strength” which helped to keep America from wars to sometimes engage in smaller conflicts while avoiding major ones and disengaging from others (e.g. Vietnam). Consider also that the world is immeasurably more complex today than under Nixon. Trump has a lot more to contend with.

Even some religious folk become irritated toward Trump. Their arguments are largely erratic and devoid of depth. Their circular thinking is caught within its own trap lacking understanding within a proper global and historical framework. They are emotional.

Yet it is not about emotion; what is occurring is an attempt to improving the current world order and the post WW2 rules-based world system that the Leftist elites have hijacked and are gradually bending to their globalist ideology. It is about realism and keeping America untangled militarily from the conflicts of others. It is about ensuring American global leadership rather than letting it slip into global governance.

Whether the leftwing elites like it or not, the rise of China, India and BRICS are challenging the old order which has shown itself either treacherous, or incapable or downright incompetent in managing the situation. Some elites are delighted by the downhill slope of the West and rise of her rivals; while others seemed to be in a malaise, caught up by their own lack of comprehension to the inherent dangers all this pose. Perhaps they are blinded by their own conceit. Or perhaps this portion of the elites think that they can integrate rising powers into a world system – global governance instead of merely a rules-based order and liberal internationalism. They have taken it much further and Trump is not at all favourable with such an approach.

Even if the latter is achieved, it is destined to be brief. And why would this be the case? Huntington’s wisdom comes into play in such circumstances. The world’s major conflicts have occurred and will occur where there are ‘fissures’ between civilisations.

So, regardless of who is American President, it is surely becoming more and more obvious that the trans-Atlantic alliances and the current rules-based world order are coming undone and need testing and revision.

Trump’s “election has obviously rattled the self-satisfied globalist oligarchs, calling into question the viability of their worldview. In his inaugural speech, Trump challenged every trendy cause embraced by the Davos crowd. I wish I had been a fly on the wall to see the reaction at the WEF when Trump announced his intention to ‘Drill, baby, drill’ for oil. Or when he declared that ‘radical gender ideology’ will be banned in federal institutions, as there is ‘only male or female’.” (Frank Furedi, “Has Trump Killed Davos Man?” Spiked, 23 January 2025)

These institutions have played their part and fulfilled their roles, but have become old, corrupt, bureaucratic and now serve the ambitions of the globalist Left.

Nixon and Trump: an historical rhyme?

Call it a rhyming or similarities between those two men or a sort of political cycle, it is clear that something historical is happening that should cause us to pause for a moment and consider the world we are entering.

Imagine for a moment that you are Trump and endeavouring to extricate the United States from a conflict that was not initiated by your country and which you perceive as a significant burden on American resources. Recently, this was presented a considerable surprise to your allies. The objective is to encourage them to become less dependent on the America for their security needs. Additionally, the aim is to mitigate their competition with the manufacturing of your country. The overarching goal is to establish peace in the Middle East. Furthermore, you are attempting to create a rift between Russia and China, seeking to leverage this division to America’s benefit.

Congratulations! You are now Nixon 2.0, despised by academia and the media. You are now officially portrayed in a bad light, yet your soldier on in defiance of the elites as you follow in Nixon’s footsteps.

True, Nixon supported free trade, limited immigration, NATO, and opposed Russian expansionism. However, this perspective was established long before these policies became less favourable and shifted towards the Left. One cannot compare, for example, today’s NATO with that in existence 55-60 years ago.

Nixon aimed to create a “new majority” by bringing together traditional Republicans and culturally conservative Democrats. He demonstrated flexibility regarding domestic policy by making some compromises and at the same time appointed conservatives to the Supreme Cour. Under his administration, there was an increase in federal government spending and regulation across certain policy domains. For instance, welfare benefits were broadened, and significant new consumer safety regulations were implemented. To him this represented the will of the “great silent majority” of “forgotten Americans” – a distinct sort of populism.

When it came to foreign policy, Nixon emphasized a strategy of limited involvement and a pragmatic enhancement of America’s global standing. He significantly advanced diplomatic relations with China, yet simultaneously eased tensions with the Soviet Union, and managed a strategic withdrawal from Vietnam. All the while containing Soviet power while urging allies to take greater responsibility for their own defence which they didn’t.

He engaged in ongoing verbal confrontations with the Left concerning a broad spectrum of cultural and national security matters and damned the university professors as if they were demons – the enemies of the West and neo-Marxist to the core.

And, according to Nixon, the world could be divided – at that time in history – into five clear centres of economic power, though only two of those possessed real military power: United States, Soviet Union, Western Europe, Japan and China.

And what did Donald Trump do?

In many ways he transformed the Republican Party into a populist “worker’s party.” At the grassroots level, his coalition merges two primary groups into a populist-conservative alliance, imbued with some libertarianism. Overall, his policy stance is centre-right, not far-right at all. As such, it does not align with the particular interpretation of centre-right that was initially preferred by the Republican Party’s affluent urban postgraduate demographic. They have tilted toward the more globalist-left, moving away from the real centre-right position that was once occupied by the Nixonian and Reaganite right.

Despite their significant differences in background, personality, and expertise, there are notable similarities between Trump’s foreign policy instincts and those of Nixon’s administration as we have seen. Trump perceives that the United States has shouldered an excessive burden in terms of global leadership, both militarily and economically. His focus is on a specific interpretation of American autonomy, consolidation, and realism. Regarding Afghanistan, Trump had been vocal about his desire to end U.S. involvement. During 2017-2018, he intensified efforts to negotiate a settlement with the Taliban but sadly the Biden withdrawal was a complete failure leaving America red-faced and the world’s laughing-stock, particularly by her enemies.

After pondering over the Nixon-Trump similarities, I came across an amazing insight. An article was published in the New York Post, “Letters between Trump and Nixon reveal previously unknown relationship” by Emily Jacobs, 24 September 2020:

“In the earliest letter reviewed by the outlet ahead of the exhibit’s opening, dated June 1982, the current commander-in-chief lavishes praise on the former president.

“I think that you are one of this country’s great men, and it was an honor to spend an evening with you,” Trump wrote to Nixon after the two were spotted together at the 21 Club in Midtown Manhattan…

Speaking to TMZ’s Harvey Levin, he showed off one of the letters, dated December 1987, in which Nixon congratulated Trump for an appearance on a television show.

“I did not see the program, but Mrs. Nixon told me that you were great. As you can imagine, she is an expert on politics and she predicts whenever you decide to run for office you will be a winner,” the former president wrote.

“It was just amazing that he wrote it,” Trump said while showing off the letter, adding that it was not the only one.

He said that while he did not know Nixon well, “he would write me letters. It was very interesting. He always wanted me to run for office.”

Let us hope that he does not meet the same fate as Nixon.

Tread very carefully, please, Mr Trump, for there are many against you among the small, but influential ruling elites. They will plot and attempt to cause your downfall.

Postscript:

After finalising this article, I came across an excellent interview with Nadia Schadlow on “Lessons from Nixon for  Trump’s New World Order” which you can listen to hear. It is important not only for the facts it contained, but the clarity and depth of thinking of an analyst. For me, she is revealing that Trump is ‘seizing the day’ and bending a trend in world order in a new direction. Using forcefulness which is working. It seems that Trump does appreciate that we live in a different world today compared to one just 20 years ago. And so do his strategists. She mentions that Trump is mirroring Nixon’s grand strategy: peace through strength; shared responsibilities with allies; negotiations. These strategies certainly appear to resonate with Trump. I have all of Nixon’s books and of them, I would recommend a read of The Real War.

Reagan too

Both Trump and Reagan were former Democrats who found that the drift of the party to the radical Left to be reprehensible. And both were the oldest President in the history of America until Biden.

Thanks to Reagan, the Cold War with the Soviet Union ended and a new dawn of liberal-internationalism with a rules-based order would be adopted across the globe.

This conclusion of the Cold War propelled the consensus surrounding Western values. The post-Cold War establishment via its various institutions intensified its conviction that the entire world ought to be reconstructed in this model, heralding what was termed the ‘end of history’ or a ‘new world order.’ The movement advocating for liberalism assumed a monumental responsibility to dismantle nations in pursuit of peace, prosperity, and freedom. Paradoxically, the very aims of the original Communists themselves, but via different vehicles!

But this did not fully emerge, much to the elite’s chagrin, although some leaders, such as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, heralded a “post-national Canada.” Frustratingly to the elites, most nations are not in accord with such a globalist moment.

Reagan made it plain that he  categorically believed in States’ rights to his followers. This obviously continuing the Nixon “southern strategy” and cementing the grand realignment of political forces which saw conservative southern Democrats to swing to the Republican Party.

Reagan, once in the Presidency, maintained this conservative approach by opposing affirmative action and busing initiatives while striving to preserve tax exemptions for racially segregated educational institutions. But that wasn’t because he was racist. It was because he believed in choice.

So it is with Trump: he too believes in States’ rights and choice, instead of an overly centralised system, run by a huge bureaucracy which has been hiding the “deep state” (an alignment of public servants and intelligence operatives in a war against nationhood and conservative values).

Writing in The Australian, Janet Albrechtsen noted that “Donald Trump may not have Ronald Reagan’s charm, but the two have much in common: when Trump is exposing fads, he’s helping the cause of freedom across the world” (“Trump carries Reagan’s torch for common sense”, 22 February 2025).

Instead of the frenzy and nonsense emanating from the mainstream media accusing him and the Republican Party from moving away from Reagan, in most areas he is clearly aligned with Reagan’s philosophy and is now extending it further.

But another area that interests this writer is President Calvin Coolidge (1923-29). It began to dawn on me in the mid-1980s that Reagan was rather similar, in many ways to Coolidge. The initial thought was that this was due to political cycles. But then I read (in Newsweek as I recall) how Reagan was enamoured by Coolidge and so it then appeared that Coolidge’s philosophy rubbed off on Reagan.

And this is probably true for Nixon and Reagan influencing and rubbing off on Trump. Tracing the roots of the doctrines of a leader helps one to grasp their world view and future destination which defies the churlish comments made about the supposed chasm between Reagan and Trump.

Evidence for the Trump-Reagan similarities manifests in various ways, both intentional and unintentional. Similar to Trump in later years, Reagan appointed individuals to significant administrative roles who were fundamentally antagonistic toward the very agencies they were meant to oversee. For instance, those that were appointed to oversee the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Occupational Safety & Health Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency also served to reform these agencies that conservatives found objectionable.

It is clear that both men were populists and used the “Make America Great Again” slogan. Reagan refused to condemn the White South African government, or apply sanctions against the nation in the face of media outrage against it. Trump is supporting Whites in South Africa and even offering American citizenship to persecuted White farmers. Further, he signed an Executive Order to address serious human rights violations in that country as it slips ever closer toward a typical African-style dictatorship and oppression.

And finally, with each having narrowly survived an attempted assassination, the similarities continue on.

All strange, but true and indicative of a political cycle that throws up occurrences such as these.

What can we make of all of this?

Silly comments that Trump is bringing about the end-time Beast power and as such, is a ‘baddie’ coupled with mirroring the mass hysteria whipped up in the media and various globalist think-tanks, is hardly demonstrating any in-depth analysis, deep pondering or understanding of what is really going on.

In a world where a dangerous dynamic is emerging and the world is slowly cleaving into rival power blocs, sometimes along civilisational fissures, now is not the time to be silly and contrarian to the extent of taking the side of the Left against the West!

If Trump does come undone like Nixon (and which almost occurred with Reagan), it is due to the relentless, non-stop harassment and persecution from the elites.

Let’s make sure that we are not part of that orgy. We should know better and realise that leaders are not perfect and will never match the criteria we create for them.

Finally, this writer is no admirer of Henry Kissinger, but as one of the most prominent world diplomats with expertise in so many areas of international affairs, it would behove us to take note of his utterances:

“I think Trump may be one of those figures in history who appears from time to time to mark the end of an era and to force it to give up its old pretenses … he said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that he knows this, or that he is considering any great alternative. It could just be an accident.” (quoted in “Henry Kissinger: The World Is in a ‘Very, Very Grave Period’ and Trump Could Mark ‘End of an Era’” Newsweek online, 20 July 2018). [emphasis mine]

March 7, 2025
By Craig M White

The return of Trump to the White House has irked the globalist/woke elites and irked the media. They are up in arms about his ‘America First’ policies which are contrary to those of Presidents Biden and Obama which were clearly to gradually pull America down and to integrate it into world governance.

In other words, to be one nation among many, deprived of power. To abandon its God-given ‘Manifest Destiny.’

In relation to this, below I have written a short note, observing briefly what has been going on in the West over the past 25 or so years. This is being written from a world news/political approach and not prophetic.

Untrustworthy Media
I recall vividly my mother telling me to never trust the media, to read widely (i.e., not just one point of view) and to think for myself. This was imprinted upon yours truly from an early age.

My Father, in turn, was not impressed by the BBC – and that was decades ago – criticizing its anti-British stance and lying. How far worse that leftwing globalist/woke machine is today, spewing out endless hours or what can only be described as one-sided tripe.

Strong language? Yes, but no stronger than their biased remarks on so many subjects demonstrating an ungodly and hateful streak. The lying and venom in the media can even sway God’s people, can it not? Yet I see Christians fall for the disinformation and lack of balance in viewing world news and trends. Some seem to want to be ‘hip’ or ‘cool’ and simply accept the deception that is so freely available rather than taking a step back, taking a deep breath and then come up with a considered stance.

As a result of the above and the clear need to be balanced, fair and garner views from left, right and center, to permit incoming information to gel and make sense, we should formulate a structured understanding of all this data and then respond appropriately.

In addition, I have my own university training and spent many years in various capacities in the central government agency, undertaking work in policy, intergovernmental relations, Parliamentary and Ministerial matters. All this has helped me hone my thinking and views.

But too many today simply accept leftwing media narratives, not realizing that often these are biased and not relatively neutral as they were decades ago.

Today the mask has slipped and the lying and bias is clear for those who are able to see.

But are we?

The Return of Trump
Do readers recall one of the many media hoaxes of all time? The Russia hoax that was denied by Trump and his team for years; disproven; then quietly dropped when the media, together with their other disinformation, managed to undermine Trump’s re-election in 2020. The result was the election of President Biden who clearly possessed cognitive difficulties from the start of his term; chaos in his administration; constant lying; extreme woke and globalist policies; open borders to deliberately bring about the complete demographic transformation of America.

The return of Trump has seen common sense and sanity prevail. The Executive Orders that have been issued; stances taken; $trillions in investments from abroad in America negotiated; DEI policies eschewed; America taking back its place on the world stage and much more, demonstrates that something good is happening. In addition, both he and Vice President Vance have been speaking out against the mass censorship, oppression and attack upon free speech in Europe as well as giving moral support to the true conservative parties on the continent (such as the National Rally, Freedom Party and AfD).

He and his administration are not taking any more nonsense from other nations. Why should they when they are in the right on most issues and America’s economy is around 25% of the worlds and its military spending is 50% of the world’s!

And then there was Trump’s somewhat excellent Presidential speech delivered to Congress. This makes one wonder if we are we witnessing the revival of America’s Manifest Destiny? Even if for a few years as occurred under President Reagan. The realization again of American Exceptionalism (as under Presidents Reagan, Coolidge and Theodore Roosevelt?). You can watch the entire address here.

The speech exhibited class, vision and positivity that America was so desperately in need of.

Trump came across as a global colossus – the nations must now tremble at the (even if temporary) revival of the Anglo-Kelt sphere under his helm.

Corrupt International Institutions
Moderate or Centre-Right politicians are trying to push against a terrible trend that is undermining Western Civilization and basic freedoms such as free speech. Leaders in America, Argentina, Hungary and Italy are trying to do what they can to arrest or even reverse this trend.

The very institutions that were set up to stabilize the world after World War 2 to introduce a new way leading to peace and prosperity around the world, are actually now being used against the West.

It didn’t take the United Nations (UN) long after its establishment to be used by the internationalist Left to work against the West. Soon following this example were UNESCO (a branch of the UNO), the World Health Organization, and even the International Monetary Fund and World Bank which have moved away from their original ideals.

Sadly, NATO is following in the footsteps of the aforementioned, attempting to maneuver the military alliance in a Globalist and even Woke direction. Similarly with the EU – it has progressed far beyond what it was established to be.

As speculated for decades, the UN’s Security Council and General Assembly, World Bank and IMF might be booted out of America due to their negative influence upon the world the past 40 years or more. They are not just Globalist, but they are also Woke and undermining the West to integrate it into a world governance system. They know this means the end of freedoms and the end of the West. They know it and they are doing it.

Perhaps these institutions may move to Europe and be reformed. Or be abolished with rival institutions set up around the world.

One thing we can be certain about is that these institutions have long passed their use by dates.

Father Gjergj Fishta (a Franciscan friar and politician) once commented over 100 years ago “Europe, you old whore…!” Napoleon was supposed to have stated something similar, with the words “Europe is an old whore that needs reforming.” They would have made the same statement about the morals, corruption, massive salaries, overreach and these institutions working against rather than for the West today.

The 1980s playing out again?
Nixon spoke out against what was happening in his day rather forcefully and Reagan appointed an Ambassador to the UN (Jean Kirkpatrick) who did not hold back with her criticisms of the organization and ugliness she and the Reagan administration saw around the world. Reagan’s address to the United Nations in 1982 marked the most severe critique ever presented to the global assembly by a sitting American president. He charged the Soviet Union with tyranny, aggression, and atrocities, describing their actions as “ruthless repression,” while advocating for the acceptance of a U.S. “agenda for peace.”

Trump is not holding back either, and he has precedence which he is following.

And both the United States and the world in general, are in a much worse state today than they were over 40 years ago, requiring much needed actions from the President.

Let us step back for a moment and realize the world that President Reagan and British Prime Minister Thatcher had inherited.

Marxism was on the rise around the world; the Soviet Union and its allies were rather threatening; the economies of the world were in a parlous condition with rampant, historical high inflation; their countries were drifting further and further to the Left on social issues (e.g., homosexuality, abortion, pornography) and the ‘hate America, hate the West’ was on the rise on university campuses and in the media.

Drastic action had to be taken. And it was. Reagan destroyed Communism in Central and South America; Thatcher destroyed it on the home front, stood up to the EU and took back the Falklands after a vicious and cruel Argentinian invasion.

I recall reading the reports; listening to the news on shortwave radio and watching the on television; while living on campus at the time. The university professors whipped the students in a frenzy accusing Reagan and Thatcher of being ‘fascists’, extreme right, wanting to start World War 3 and such like. The rioting and consequent chaos was appalling, yet those two leaders, standing their ground, eventually triumphed. At least for a few years until the Left made another comeback.

Students and many others were literally crying about these leaders, claiming that they would be warmongers, and it is “better to be red than dead”. Something brow-beaten into them by academia.

The worldwide demonstrations with media backing shocked millions into believing that those two leaders were the baddies.

Has anything changed?

Similar goings on occurred when Richard Nixon was President and there appears to be real similarities between the him and Trump. Including, it seems on the surface, attempting to create a wedge between Russia and China to the benefit of world order.

Yet, when one compares the morals of those nations, their economies and decline of the West, they were nowhere near as bad as today.

President Trump’s Duty
The world stands in awe of what is happening in America. Trump will not take a step back and will keep his word and campaign promises to his nation. And to those that oppose America! If they raise their hand against America, they will pay the price!

His administration is moving at breath-taking speed to reverse a titanic that has almost hit an iceberg. The negatives of the economy alone will take months or years to reverse. Let alone dealing over 20 million illegals dwelling in the country, of which around 10 million entered under radical Leftist President Biden.

Honestly, there have been decades of damage done to America and the West. Perhaps Trump can leave a legacy of reversing much of this, but it would take years to do so. In the meantime, he is doing what he can.

Perhaps he will move to leave NATO (which can only be approved by Congress), or form an inner NATO with Canada, Britain, Australia and New Zealand with the Europeans forming their own separate military union which has been touted for decades, but gathering pace the past few years. Already the AUKUS has been established, which is a security partnership between Australia, United Kingdom and the United States. There are calls to expand it to include the other two Anglo-Keltic nations (Canada, New Zealand).

In addition, the Five Eyes network was established that comprises all of those nations. The Five Eyes is an intelligence gathering alliance.

Moves to lessen American involvement with NATO has been considered and debated in military and political circles across the Atlantic for decades, but has been gathering pace, primarily due to the financial mess and horrendous debts caused by the Obama and Biden administrations. Observers (such as Gene Hogberg) and political scientists have been commenting on this possibility for decades.

Consider this: all American Presidents have been asking Europe since the 1980s to share the enormous burden of defending the continent. However, they were always polite which didn’t get them anywhere. But now there is a President who speaks the mind of many: Europe must pay its way and quite “ripping America off”.

So, this day was always going to come. Political scientists have always known that and discussed it. Now it has arrived. Trump simply accelerated the inevitable.

America simply can no longer afford to provide most of the funds to protect Europe which has to step up and not merely talk about doing so for another 20 years.

Then there are the tariffs that America has been putting up with, in effect subsidising various countries. Germany alone is ‘subsided’ by the tune of around $70 billion annually for putting tariffs on America not reciprocating.  Lost in the discussion, and the accusation that Trump is starting a “trade war,” is that European nations, Canada, Mexio and many other nations have been imposing tariffs on American goods for decades!  All that President Trump has been asking for is a level playing field.

“”German exports to the U.S. have developed very well in recent months and are now at a record level,” said Jens Suedekum from the Duesseldorf Institute for Competition Economics (DICE).

“The trend could reverse, however, after Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, as the Republican has promised to impose tariffs of 10% on global imports, in measures he says would boost U.S. manufacturing.” (“Germany’s trade surplus with US reaches record high as Trump tariffs loom” Reuters, 10 January 2025)

Germany is not in a position to stand up to the United States. It needs other European nations to consolidate behind it and demonstrate strength of character, something it cannot do while it has positioned itself on the Left. A shift to the radical Right is needed for this to occur.

NB: When tariffs are properly targeted and implemented, they are beneficial and help’s one’s own country to strengthen or build up their own industries. Historically, there is little correlation between tariffs and inflation.

NATO minus America
An interesting video compared NATO without America to America’s military might.

The comparison shows that in many critical areas, the USA is dominant.

However, if we were to omit Canada, Great Britain, Scandinavia and even Turkey, the EU arm of NATO is far behind the USA, especially give the expansion of the latter as the Trump administration attempts to recover from the huge damage done to the armed services under Biden. It would take a huge decrease in American military funding and tremendous increase in European funding to rival America – and that takes time. Around 10 years or more, starting this year. Building mammoth aircraft carriers, 1000s of missiles, nuclear weapons and so much more, does not occur over a couple of years. Then there is the coordination of national armed forces, different systems, different standards and excessive number of different sorts of equipment.

During the first week of March, leaders of the EU gathered in Brussels for an extraordinary summit dedicated to defence and the situation in Ukraine, in light of escalating concerns regarding Europe’s security framework and its financial foundations. This summit was convened following the unexpected halt of military assistance to Ukraine by Washington in an attempt to end the war, which has intensified the pressure on the bloc to bolster its own defence commitments. In anticipation of the summit, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen presented a new initiative for EU defence financing, introducing the ReArm Europe Plan. Should this plan be implemented, it could enable member states to mobilize as much as 800 billion euros in increased defence expenditures spread over four years. America spends roughly that amount in one year.

America has been virtually bankrupted by reckless, neo-Marxist style spending habits, needless wars, massive overseas aid on unnecessary projects and woke social engineering programs.

It also has the problem of the rise of China and its threatening behaviors.

As such, the country is no longer in a position to defend a rich Europe that has been living off America and undermining it on the world stage. It has to stop no matter who is President, or which party is in power. That is simply inevitable, even if delayed.

Either it stops now under sensible leadership, or America goes bankrupt, and it is forced to quit defending Europe in the most unpleasant circumstances.

Step-by-step, Europe is peeling away from America due to is behaviors. Britain and Canada will likely join America at some point in disgust at Europe’s attitude.

The more peaceful nations of Scandinavia and The Netherlands will probably become neutral and there will probably be reproachment between Russia and the rest of Europe eventually. And when Europe succumbs to the real far right, then I, as an Anglo-Kelt-phile will be concerned.

And that is where the real danger lies for the Anglo-Kelt sphere.

It is truly fated that the world will gradually cleave into several power blocs:

• America and its Anglo-Kelt sphere together with other, related nations.
• Central/Southern/Eastern Europe (allied, at least temporarily with Russia and others);
• Chine and her allies.
• Islamic Nations in North Africa and Near East.

The world peace longed and strived for my Presidents Nixon, Reagan and Trump are continually being undermined.

The EU, led by surreptitious types such as von der Leyen, Macron and others are fueling problems and wars, rather than resolving them. For the present, at least, let us hope that the follow Trumps lead and.

Editor’s note and Forward: Bible students have long acknowledged that the blessings of national riches given to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3, Genesis 17:1-7) were fulfilled thousands of years later in the rise to international prominence, of the British Empire and United States of America.

It has also been an assumption that those blessings could be removed by God for disobedience (Leviticus 26:14-39), and that process of punishment has been in place for decades.

But is it possible that other factors are in play? WNPR is committed to reviewing these prophecies in future articles, but in the meantime, please note this important historic and prophetic review by Victor Kubik, United Church of God Minister and Council member, Philanthropist and veteran world traveler.

The Panama Canal’s Storied History

By Vic Kubik

President Donald Trump has expressed intentions to reclaim the Panama Canal, a strategic waterway constructed by the United States in the early 20th century. This move has reignited discussions about the canal’s complex history and its geopolitical significance.

My interest in the Panama Canal began in high school when I researched its construction. The project’s complexity and the monumental effort required were captivating. Managed by the United States, the canal’s construction relied on tens of thousands of workers, including many Chinese laborers, who endured harsh conditions. Panama was part of Colombia and with U.S. support, Panama gained independence in 1903, facilitating American oversight of the canal’s construction.

The canal’s construction involved two main phases:

The French Effort (1881–1889): Led by Ferdinand de Lesseps, the French initiated the project in 1881. De Lesseps, who had successfully overseen the construction of the Suez Canal, attempted to apply similar engineering methods in Panama. However, challenging terrain, engineering difficulties, and high worker mortality from diseases like malaria and yellow fever led to the project’s abandonment in 1889.

The American Completion (1904–1914): The United States took over the project in 1904, implementing advanced engineering solutions and extensive disease control measures. This phase culminated in the canal’s official opening on August 15, 1914, marked by the transit of the SS Ancon. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers played a pivotal role in the project’s successful completion.

After declaring independence from Spain in 1821, Panama joined Gran Colombia, a republic that included present-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. When Gran Colombia dissolved in 1831, Panama remained part of the Republic of New Granada, later known as the Republic of Colombia, until its U.S.-backed independence in 1903.

The Panama Canal Zone, established under the 1903 Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty, was a 553-square-mile area over which the United States exercised jurisdiction from 1903 to 1979. This zone spanned the Isthmus of Panama, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Control of the canal was transferred to Panama on December 31, 1999, following treaties signed in 1977.

In recent years, concerns have arisen over Chinese investments in strategic properties near the canal, leading to debates about regional security. The English-speaking world has historically played a significant role in global affairs, administering strategic land and sea gates like the Suez and Panama Canals. These canals, constructed and managed by the United States, Great Britain, and France, have drastically reduced shipping times by bypassing lengthy routes around continents.

As an amateur radio operator, I frequently communicated with fellow operators in the Canal Zone, who used the call sign prefix “KZ5.” These connections included military personnel, civilian workers, and local Panamanians. In 2017, I visited the canal in person while traveling to Brazil. Staying near the Miraflores Locks, I observed ships passing through—an awe-inspiring sight. Recent expansions have introduced new locks to accommodate larger vessels, incorporating water-recycling systems to conserve resources.

Passage through the canal is costly, with most ships paying between $600,000 and $700,000 in tolls, and tankers often paying up to $1 million. Approximately 20 ships traverse the canal daily. Specialized crews board each vessel to navigate it through the locks, ensuring precise passage through this narrow waterway.

Under President Jimmy Carter’s administration, the Panama Canal was handed over to Panama, despite the U.S. previously holding rights to the Canal Zone. Ironically, despite having built, operated, and maintained the canal, the U.S. Navy, one of the canal’s largest users, is still required to pay high tolls for its naval vessels. Recently, political tensions surrounding the canal have resurfaced. President Trump suggested that the canal should be returned to U.S. administration, prompting Panama to consider reducing or even eliminating fees for U.S. Navy ships. The canal remains an economic lifeline for Panama, contributing significantly to its GDP. However, it was the United States that freed Panama from Colombian rule and constructed this remarkable engineering marvel.

Reflecting on the canal’s strategic importance and the immense value it provides in global shipping, it’s notable that such critical infrastructure was entrusted to English-speaking nations for so long. This contrasts with Russia, which, despite once controlling vast territories, lacked significant sea gates. While Russia has some of the world’s longest rivers, they mostly flow north into the Arctic Ocean, limiting their effectiveness for global trade. To gain access to the Baltic, Russia had to fight Sweden for the land where it built St. Petersburg. Even then, ships must navigate narrow straits to reach the Atlantic. Similarly, in Ukraine, the port of Odessa provides Black Sea access, but vessels must pass through the narrow Bosporus and Dardanelles straits—once controlled by the British, now under Turkish sovereignty.

Examining these geopolitical realities reveals the strategic importance of controlling land and sea gates. The descendants of Abraham were given prime locations on Earth, seemingly for a divine purpose—to be a light and example to the world. Though they have often faltered in this mission, they were still granted these promises. (Genesis 24:60)

As we approach the latter years of this civilization—before its ultimate redemption through the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God—we can reflect with gratitude and awe on what God has done and what He will yet do for the world. The Bible will gain even greater relevance as we consider Israel’s historical and prophetic role. How wonderful it will be when these people receive God’s Holy Spirit and are finally used to teach the world His ways, His laws, and build prosperity and everlasting peace.

(January 20, 2025) The Historical Inauguration of Donald Trump

In the bitter cold of January 1961, Chief Justice Earl Warren administered the Presidential oath of office to newly elected President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Sixty-four years ago, after a closely contested election, President Kennedy assumed command of the nation that helped win the Second World War of the 20th Century, only a decade and a half earlier. Kennedy himself had served as an officer in the Navy, in the war, commanding a motor torpedo boat, the PT-109.

President Kennedy quickly became one of the most popular Presidents in American history. He was a gifted orator. His inaugural address is most remembered for his challenge to the American people; “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” President Kennedys challenge would resonate well today with President Trump’s vision of “Make America Great Again.”

Prophetic Parallel Between President Kennedy and President Trump

In 1961, America was still on the threshold of greatness — a nation on the rise! But challenging the United States from the end of World War II was the threat of communism, and the apparent awesome nuclear power of the United Soviet Socialist Republic. America was definitely in competition with the U.S.S.R. The leader America needed was John F. Kennedy, whose boundless optimism and purpose drove advancement in industry and technology.

Before the tragic assassination of President Kennedy, November 22, 1963, he had determined to dismantle as much of what we now call the “Shadow Government,” or “Deep State.” Privately, he had expressed to his closest confidantes, his determination to abolish the Central Intelligence Agency, which had been responsible for proposing an invasion of Cuba, to overthrow the Castro regime. The failed plan was an embarrassment to the Administration and the nation.

In his farewell address shortly before Kennedy became President, outgoing President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned the nation of the growing power of the “military industrial complex” and the potential for a “scientific-technological elite” to exert influence upon the nation. His warnings became a prophetic declaration which has been fulfilled in the past 65 years in the United States.

It was this power and influence that President Kennedy sought to curtail in his administration, and one that newly elected President Trump is seeking to eliminate. Very likely this week, the secret files which may reveal the truth about the Kennedy assassination and the bad actors actually responsible for his death are to be made public by the Trump administration. In America, this influence is called “the swamp.” It is the combination of unbridled power and influence that has worked against the interests of the people and has engaged the United States in endless wars and futile programs for decades.

In 2025, America has once again turned to a leader who believes in the values upon which the nation was founded on — FREEDOM.

As President Trump is poised to return to the Resolute Desk at the White House later today, he will begin the ambitious plan to return the United States to the pre-eminent power in the world today — but not one that continues to engage in useless wars around the globe. The America that President Trump envisions leads by example, placing the interest of the nation first. Today, the newly elected President will sign over 200 Executive Orders that will repeal the agenda of his predecessor and begin the enormous task of undoing the work of the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States.

Removal of Blessings or the work of evil men?

Bible students and followers of Bible prophecy have often viewed the chapters of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 as the “Blessings and Cursing’s” chapters. The formula for the ancient nation of Israel — 12 tribes — outlined in these chapters is simple; the nation would reap the bountiful national blessings promised to patriarch Abraham, for obedience. But if the people would not obey God and His laws, they would be cursed. Can we say God has removed his blessing from America, or is there another answer to America’s stumbles and woes for the past six decades?

As President Trump addresses the nation now, after taking the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, he has acknowledged God’s divine providence in sparing his life and has expressed his desire for the nation to acknowledge God and the importance of law obedience. “I was saved by God to make America great again,” President Trump said today to the nation.

The problems that have plagued the United States have been the result of evil men and women. The Apostle Paul warned of these in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. Paul explained that men cause perilous times by their selfishness, slandering, traitorous acts and denial of the Sovereign God! Paul further explained that the actions of evil men would “grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:13)

To the Ephesians, Paul explained that our world is secretly led by an invisible and evil force — the “prince of the power of the air.” The devil — the author of all evil — exerts great influence in those that Paul advised Timothy of — “the sons of disobedience.” (Ephesians 2:2)

Good Men Can Overcome Evil!

Human efforts to thwart satanic influence is limited, but men and women of God are expected to fight back against the evil effects of the devil’s influence by putting on God’s armor: ” For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:12-13)

It is the viewpoint of World News and Prophecy Review that many of the national problems of the past 60 plus years in America have been caused by the actions of evil men, as Paul predicted.

Will America become great again? Only time will tell if President Trump’s agendas can be fully implemented. He was actively opposed by the Deep State powers in his first term, often times from within his own party! But his survival of 2 assassination attempts have only strengthened his resolve to save the Republic. For now, we can pray that righteousness will prevail. We have witnessed the transfer of power from one administration to another, and Proverbs 29:2 echoes the sentiments of many Americans today; “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.”

Today, America is rejoicing once again!

(January 14, 2025) Editor’s Note: Today’s guest column is written by Craig White, from Australia. Mr. White is an avid Bible scholar, writer and researcher. Please visit Mr. White’s website: CW | Papers, Articles, Studies and Charts for more information.

By Craig M White

Many are falling into the erroneous belief that the current trends of Global governance and Wokeism (i.e. the anti-traditional family and anti-nationhood movement of the elites) are identified with the final Beast system and Babylon of Daniel and Revelation.

Others, looking at only certain trends, think Islam is the Beast; while others choose Russia or China as their candidate. Still others think that America and parts of NW Europe (i.e. the House of Israel) will be the Beast.

What is the feared “Beast” of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13, and how will it arise in the future?

The Beast Template

This author remains of the opinion (held for decades) that the coming Beast will be thought of as a true ‘far right’ leader and system. It will likely be a reaction to today’s form of Globalization which is strongly aligned with “Political Correctness” and Wokeism. Previous “Beast” leaders such as Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Mussolini and Hitler reacted to the forces of the Left in their day. It is our belief that something similar will happen in the future — in Europe! Please refer to the attached table comparing the various resurrections of the Roman systems, known through history as the “Holy Roman Empire.”

Over the centuries, the past restorations on the Beast Roman system included an Emperor or person of that stature. Other characteristics included a love-hate relationship with the Catholic Church and the use of the financial and economic powers of their day for their purpose. Many of them similarly had a love-hate relationship with Russia, and with the Islamic world. Both were eventually either attacked or the region invaded. Expect the pattern to continue. You can find these patterns in the table online here.

Of course, they will be rather progressive when it comes to uplifting the populace and ushering in a new economic model that will be very successful and prosperous. Europe’s shocking debt would have to be, at least partially, settled via the buy back by a European Treasury issuing a European Bond or many debts being wiped during a massive economic downturn. A huge economic surge is too difficult with the current burden of debt, so something has to give.

The Beast will be a group of nations cooperating and working together economically and militarily. From what can be gathered, it will not be today’s European Union – either it will rise out of its demise, or the EU has to be drastically reformed. For further details, read What will the Beast be Like?

What May Happen

Perhaps today’s international institutions which were originally established to stabilize the world after WW2 with the USA operating as World Policeman will either be reformed or replaced by new institutions. After all, the UNO, UNESCO, WHO, World Bank, IMF and NATO have become overgrown, corrupt and extreme advocates of globalism. Or the American leadership may withdraw from them. After all, they have become corrupt and no longer fully serve the purposes for which they were originally established.

Will newly elected President Trump’s leadership provide courage to populists and conservatives around the world, and especially in Europe where they are live in fear of speaking out?

As the backlash against Wokeism increases across the globe (and particularly in Europe and South America), expect the world to try and forge some sort of new global system to stabilize the world and eschew Wokeism (either by reforming the above institutions or the establishment of new ones). This will probably be led by Europe.

BUT any new global system will eventually fall apart as the world will eventually divide into several civilisational blocs:

• Europe and its allies in South America and a few (initially) in the Middle East;
• Russia and the East (initially allied with Europe against the House of Israel);
• House of Israel (Anglo-Keltics and NW Europeans);
• King of the South.

These will come into conflict per the Church’s prophetic narrative over the decades.

In the meantime, populists seem to be having a second attempt (over the past 10 years or so) to take back Europe. They are NOT fascists or neo-Nazis, as some claim. The policies of the AFD in Germany, Meloni in Italy, and Le Pen in France are almost identical to those of Thatcher, Kohl, de Gaule etc. The are conservatives but are labelled ‘far right’ by the leftwing media.

There is not the slightest trace of fascism in their leaders or party policies. The media lie to us about so much, why should they now be telling us the truth about the supposed ‘far right’?

Each resurrection of the Beast follows a similar template but have some differing characteristics. The 7^th resurrection will not be Nazi as there is no evidence for that; the nations of Europe will not permit it. The shame of Nazism in Germany is still a powerful motivating factor. The leftwing media are creating a phantom, calling all conservatives ‘far right’ which means Fascist or Nazi. Please see the attached article ‘What will the Beast be like?’

However, what might happen, is that when conservative forces take back Europe, they may decide to clamp down on the Woke Left and slide ever further right. Or an economic and financial upheaval may encourage such a slide and ensuing conflict with the House of Israel.

However, when the real far right juggernaut emerges, it will militarize and become world policeman with allies across the world. Over time it will part ways with the Anglo-Keltic Powers and come into political, religious, economic and ethnic conflict. It’s incredible economy will finance the most tremendous military machine with technologies that will blow our minds. Nothing will be able to stand it is way.

Final Words

Some in the Churches of God have moved toward the view that Globalism and Wokeism is associated with the Beast. However bad a system or religion is, does not make it the Beast. The Beast is a collection of gentile powers that will crush the House of Israel and scatter the Church of God. (Jeremiah 30:7, Daniel 7: 23-25, Revelation 13:4, 7)

World News and Prophecy Review

(November 20, 2024) Nearly 4 years ago, this website previewed the potential outcome of the new administration that took office in January 2021.

You can review that column here: When The Cowboy’s Gone

It wasn’t hard to project the ultimate outcome of the incoming Biden administration, as President Biden promised to reverse the accomplishments of his predecessor.

Surely, the American voter did not endorse a massive wave of illegal immigration (with some estimates as high as 25 million), higher taxes, a shameful exit from Afghanistan, rampant inflation, higher energy costs, destruction of a Russian natural gas pipeline to West Germany (certified by the research of former New York Times columnist/reporter Seymour Hersh), and a host of other negative results from the outgoing Biden administration. With the help of many independent news sources and researchers, it is apparent that Mr. Biden did not earn the votes of 81 million Americans, and it is also apparent that the landslide win by incoming President Trump would be even larger had there not been another series attempt at election fraud and malfeasance in 2024.

The new administration will have the great challenges to face once it takes office. The greatest problems facing the first Trump White House were a combination of 2 things. First, his campaign was sabotaged by his predecessor, Barak Obama, who authorized then FBI Director James Comey to surveille his campaign, illegally obtaining FISA warrants to do so. In addition, his first administration was under investigation as early as December 2020, when the newly appointed National Security Director General Michael Flynn, was entrapped and falsely accused by FBI agents in a “sting” operation. Secondly, the new President admitted his own naivete to national talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, in a casual conversation only shortly after his inauguration. Mr. Limbaugh asked him what his greatest surprise was after taking the oath of office. Mr. Trump replied, “I thought the hostility would die down and both sides would work together for the good of the nation.”

How sadly mistaken the new President was! Relying on Washington insiders, the President placed many individuals in his new cabinet and administrative posts who actively colluded against his will on many issues, often with members of his own party in the Congress and Senate. The result was 4 years of investigation that continued on the basis of rumor and innuendo, but no evidence. All was an amazement to the newcomer to the political world. The anti “Make America Great Again” movement continued through to the certification of the 2020 election, with the illusion that Trump supporters stirred an insurrection at the Nation’s Capital. With thousands of hours of video evidence presented, independent analysis proved the destruction caused that day was instigated by hundreds of federal operatives.

Perhaps the first act of the newly elected President will be to release from prison the thousands of innocent victims of false accusation and imprisonment, some who weren’t even present at the Capitol on January 6.

Yes, President Trump will inherit a nation that is on the steep slope of decline and decay — but not because God has removed his national blessing entirely. It is because of deliberate actions on the part of his predecessor, Joe Biden, who has a veritable mountain of evidence against of him of high crimes and illegalities, along with his extended family. Many others have participated in the pillaging of the nation for their own gain, and the condemnation of the Bible rigorously rails against these unpatriotic politicians, judges and leaders from various parts of society. They have betrayed the United States for their personal gain as prophesied by the prophet Amos:

Amos 5:4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live; ⁵ But do not seek Bethel, Nor enter Gilgal, Nor pass over to Beersheba; For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Bethel shall come to nothing.

Bethel, Gilgal and Beersheba had been ancient places where God’s servants, from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Beersheba) to Jeroboam had worshipped, but later all turned idolatrous. Could their modern-day counterparts associated be the three significant capital cities of New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.? Each contributed to the rich history of freedom and independence in the origin of our nation, but all have been corrupted.

The “House of Israel” are the modern-day descendants of the sons of Joseph, most famous to many as the Biblical character who was given a coat of many colors by his father Jacob. when he was a young man. Many Bible students understand Joseph’s descendants are the English-speaking peoples of the world today, who have been the leading nations in the world for the past 250 years. And the leading nation for the past century has been the United States. But our leaders have led the nations astray, as Isaiah points out.

Isaiah 3:14 The Lord will enter into judgment With the elders of His people And His princes: “For you have eaten up the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
¹⁵ What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the faces of the poor?” Says the Lord God of hosts.

Is this not an indictment of many of our national leaders? They have been responsible for allowing tens of millions of illegal aliens into the nation. If that was the only lawless act allowed, it would be horrific on its own merits. But when you combine it with the lack of concern for American citizens who lost everything they own — in Maui, in devastating fires, in Eastern Ohio with a train derailment, and with thousands who have suffered irreparable loss in the southeast recently with tragic circumstances caused by several hurricanes. These American citizens have received almost no help, while the government has given away hundreds of billions of dollars to illegal immigrants and fighting foreign wars in which the United States has almost no national interest.

The prophet was inspired to show that leaders are responsible for the care of national blessings. But many of our leaders have used God’s favor as a persona ATM, cashing out — plundering God’s blessings for themselves.

In this Nation — the United States of America — the people, who have some say in the matter, have said, in the 2024 election, “enough is enough!”

The Holy Bible is filled with dozens of prophetic warnings and indictments of national leaders of our time today! Those guilty need a strong message of warning and call to repentance, because as Isaiah points out, they have ruined God’s vineyard — His special people Israel!

The promise to those wicked, evil leaders is that they will be taken away in horrible national captivity, along with all those they have deceived! (Isaiah 9:14-16, Amos 6:3-7)

As we close this report, we want to stress that World News and Prophecy Review makes no political statement. Christians should not align themselves with political parties, but a Christian should advocate for justice, truth and righteousness!

When any who aspire to leadership depart from the designated role as a servant of the people, it should be pointed out. They have condemned themselves no matter their political affiliation. No one that calls themselves a follower of Jesus Christ should blindly follow any human. The Gospel of Jesus Christ should be taught to all national leaders. They should be held accountable for taking care of God’s vineyard, His people, our nation.

It is our sincere prayer that God will protect all government leaders, as well as all His people. In the article cited above, the musician, Tracy Lawrence used “Cowboy” as a metaphor for the United States, in its role among nations, and like a Cowboy should, act swiftly and justly to right wrongs. May God bless those efforts, and may God Bless America, so that the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the coming Kingdom of God, can be preached to the entire world (Matthew 24:14)

(November 19, 2024) EMERGENCY ALERT

In the wake of the most historic election and political comeback in the history of the United States, the world has been thrust into the very real possibility of Nuclear Warfare. NEVER has the world been closer to MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction), the acronym for the nuclear doctrine when extreme provocation is taken by one nuclear power toward another.

United States/President Biden Destabilizing Euro/Russian Region

This is what the United States has done toward Russia within the last 24 hours, with the Ukraine military launching American made ATACMS missiles into Russia’s Bryansk region, within the last 12 hours. ATACMS missiles have a range of about 190 miles and were used to target a Russian weapons depot. The missiles can carry cluster bombs or a single high-explosive warhead — AND these warheads can be switched out to tactical nuclear warheads. An offensive such as this could be easily interpreted by Russia as a tactical nuclear strike.

Today’s strike against Russia is on the heels of the announcement by President Biden on November 17, that the U.S. would allow the use of ATACMS missiles. This policy escalation is insane!

First Strike Doctrine

What makes this action so scary is that it is the doctrine of both Russia and the United States that such action is looked upon as a pretext for launching a 1st Nuclear strike. If that were to happen, the consequences could be a hellish cascade of nuclear warfare between the two largest nuclear powers in the world.

American Culpability

Make no doubt — this isn’t a Ukraine/Russian war — this is American aggression toward Russia! How do we know? It is the U.S. which has broken promises not to expand NATO to the Russian borders, on several occasions over the past 40 years, beginning with promises made to Russian leaders. First, the U.S. and NATO promised not to expand further eastward as result of German reunification in 1990. Secretary of State, James Baker, promised Mikael Gorbachev that NATO would not expand “1 inch east” if the Soviet Union would agree to allow the 2 Germany’s to unite. But afterwards, NATO expanded to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, all former satellite states of the Soviet Union., Under the Clinton administration, the United States relentlessly bombed Serbia, interpreted as continued threatening action toward Russia.

By breaking several promises, and most recently orchestrating a coup in 2014, toward the Ukranian President, Viktor Yanukovych, the United States, with minimal help from other NATO countries, had been active in promoting the current Ukraine conflict. The removal was orchestrated by the United States State Department, led by Victoria Nuland, (Ukranian born) Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. Yanukovych fled to Russia following his removal from office. Eventually, a former comic actor, Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected President of Ukraine, in 2019.

In April 2022, peace talks between Russia and Ukraine were scuttled by then Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who advised Zelenskyy not to agree to peace terms, in talks conducted in Turkey. The question is “WHY?” Why would the west, represented by Boris Johnson, actively promote a continuation of conflict? The reason is the same that President Biden has agreed to even greater and more dangerous conflict just hours ago!

The Role of Evil Leaders

The Russian/Ukrainian conflict has resulted in over 600,000 deaths on both sides. If the west had only respected the promise not to place ballistic missiles on the Russian border in Ukraine, this bloodshed and destruction could have been avoided.

But it is not in the interest of certain world leaders, both elected heads of State as well as unelected bureaucrats, or the Military Industrial Complex to have peace. Do you need Biblical affirmation? Here it is:

Two Important Prophetic Trends

Understanding the insanity of the present-day events require not only a understanding of the world and current events, but a Biblical worldview, provided by Bible Prophecy.

In Ephesians 2:2, Paul explained that the prince of the power of the air, the Devil, has not only deceived the entire world, but additionally works in a far greater way in “the sons of disobedience.” This means that the “god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4) has a far greater effect on the thoughts and actions of those who are disobedient to God, and hate His law! This is corroborated by Paul’s comments to Timothy, in which he describes the perilous times of the end, which will be orchestrated by men who are unholy, unloving, traitors (especially significant within the United States when elected officials and others are acting against the best interests of the United States by advocating for war, and openly assisting enemies of the America!) and brutal despisers of good. There could be not better characterization of the current leaders of the United States and others sprinkled throughout the world, orchestrating policies that will bring about the demise of the United States and the West. (2 Timothy 3:1-4)

Paul goes on to expand on this prophetic premise by explaining that “evil men and imposters, will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:13) Filled with hubris and power, evil leaders are the ones who are totally plugged into the Satan’s influence. Not only do they seek to deceive as to their own motivation, their compounded lies and deceit serve to only harden their resolve and self-deception.

Why Now?

The reason for the escalation of the Ukranian conflict is the recent election of President Trump. The incoming President has promised to end this conflict quickly. Although WN&PR realizes that all human leaders have liability, shortcoming and flaws, amazingly, even to his harshest critics, the former and future President has called on America to return to God and a belief in the Bible, more so than any of his predecessors.

Recently, Donald Trump declared, “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness”. This statement was made during his victory speech after the election. In a recent commercial for a Bible sold by American musician, Lee Greenwood, Donald Trump emphasizes the importance of faith and the Bible in American life. He mentioned that the Bible is a cornerstone of American values and encourages people to return to these foundational principles.

Americans agree with these sentiments, to a greater degree than those who oppose the values upon with the United States was founded. This explains both the result of the recent election, as well as the heightened conflict in Ukraine. The evil leaders within this nation and elsewhere, are determined to undermine the results of the recent election, by handing an ever-expanding war that will be more difficult to end, to the incoming President.

The World Won’t End In Nuclear Warfare

Jesus Christ promised that He would intervene in the affairs of mankind, with His return, before man could destroy himself. He told His disciples, shortly before His crucifixion, that although there is a coming time of “great tribulation” greater than at any time in history, His return would put a halt to man and the devil’s hostilities, and that the sure extinction of mankind would be averted by His return! (Matthew 24:21-22) The days of the “Great Tribulation” would end before man can destroy himself through nuclear carnage!

That doesn’t mean there won’t be a time of warfare that includes nuclear devices. In fact the description given in Revelation 9 seem to indicate nuclear conflict (Revelation 9:5-10) with death and the result of possible radiation poisoning.

What Can You Do?

As citizens of this world, as well as belonging to a “heavenly country,” the Kingdom of God (Hebews 12:22) most of us have no power to influence the events of today.

Or do we? The answer is that YOU are not powerless in this world, today or in the future! We can all have a great effect with our prayer and devotion to God.

Through the prophet Ezekiel, God proclaimed a blessing upon those who are grieved with the results of this satanic world. He told Ezekiel; ” . . .“Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.” (Ezekiel 9:4)

We can pray and ask for God’s divine intervention on the events of this world, to prevent the death of innocents. By this the individual Christian promotes peace!

Eventually, Jesus will return and initiate total peace for 1,000 years! (Revelation 20:6) But meanwhile, knowing God’s plan for mankind can help you deal with the frightening crisis we are currently experiencing, as well as future events.

Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

(November 6, 2024) 12:30 AM Mountain Time

Against all odds, former President Donald J. Trump made the most incredible comeback in American history tonight.

President Elect Trump, in recent weeks, took nothing for granted, campaigning in front of huge crowds in multiple states each day for weeks. The energy of the 78-year-old candidate has been nothing short of astounding.

Speaking to his supporters tonight in Florida, declaring victory in the most contentious political campaign ever contested, Donald Trump’s remarks were short, unifying and gracious.

The Future of America

It is likely that in the morning hours and days ahead, the election will be contested. Reports from Pennsylvania indicate that truckloads of ballots were being transported to polling areas after the polls had closed. It is also very likely that millions of ballots were cast illegally by non-citizens and there were numerous reports prior to November 5 of machine malfunction,

Miraculously, the Republican ticket was able to overcome investigation, demonization, impeachment, indictment, two assassination attempts, and a media assault unrivaled in American politics.

We will revisit this after the inauguration, but in the short term, Americans can expect to pay far less for energy costs, and virtually all other household expenses, because higher energy costs have led to rampant inflation.

Candidate Trump also indicated that he would support tax initiatives that would spur economic growth, eliminating income taxes on tips, social security income and even the elimination of income tax! While critics suggest these ideas would lead to greater deficits, the opposite is true. Eliminating federal income tax would spur economic growth exponentially as Americans would have 20-40% more disposable income. Replacing income tax would be a national sales tax which at first sounds onerous but considering business would be unburdened by complying with tax law, prices of goods and services would remain stable.

The Future of the Gospel

The election of Donald J. Trump to a second term is an affirmation of the American people’s desire for freedom of speech. In Trump’s previous term, he eliminated the enforcement, by Executive Order, the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 portion of the IRS code that prohibited nonprofit organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates. Lyndon Johnson sponsored this revision because he wanted to limit the endorsement of his political opponents by churches and others with nonprofit status. It was Johnson’s way of silencing opposition. Trump’s order effectively eliminated retaliation to Churches for expressing what could be interpreted as “political.”

A Trump administration will allow Churches to continue to express their view on political matters that include criticism of government, if the Church is so inclined to offer an opinion, without losing their tax-exempt status.

Jesus proclaimed, in Matthew 24:14: “And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

The “Good News” is that the Kingdom of God will replace all human governments. Where man’s government with its various iterations and types has failed, God’s government will not!

But here is the interesting aspect of the recent divisive American political contest — just as the election of Donald Trump will not be well received or welcomed with open arms by his political opponents, the government of God will also not be endorsed by the leaders of the earth. The time of the establishment of the government of God will be met by fierce opposition by the nations of the earth! (Revelation 11:18)

Finally, World News and Prophecy Review is hopeful that human governments will allow the freedom of expression that will allow the Good News of God’s Kingdom to be preached!

World News and Prophecy Review

(November 5, 2024) Millions of Americans have already cast their votes in the most important Presidential election in the history of America, and many millions more will be casting their votes today.

There is only one thing that separates former President Trump from one of the most stunning political comebacks in the history of American politics.

History — A Prelude to The Future?

The most similar parallel to President Trumps candidacy, in American politics is the incredible victory by Richard M. Nixon in 1968, after he had suffered defeat in the 1960 Presidential election, and his loss in the California Gubernatorial election in 1962. In defeat, a bitter Nixon told the press; “You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore.”

American politics has always been an ugly business. In Nixon’s case, he went on to become an effective President, and though the stain of the Watergate scandal ruined his second term in office, for much of his Presidency, he was the most popular President in American history.

What ruined the Nixon Presidency, and what threatened the 45th President in his first term, and his re-election bid are similar — a deeply entrenched deep state that is opposed to having the veil of secrecy being lifted and the light shined on its sinister operations.

In Nixon’s case, he wanted to end the Viet Nam war. It finally did end, after his exit from office, but in a shameful retreat instead of an honorable treaty or armistice.

Nixon had been made aware of the “who” behind the assassination attempt on President Kennedy, though he never made that knowledge public. Shortly after he confided this information to the Director of the CIA, Richard Helms, the scandal of Watergate broke. Retrospectively, though Nixon was not involved in ordering the break in of a Democrat office in the Watergate complex, after it was determined that he had been briefed and denied knowledge of the crime, he became the target of the press and his political opponents.

But in 1972, Nixon had the most lopsided win in Presidential history, with 520 electoral votes while winning 49 states. There was no threat to his campaign that would have motivated him to be involved in the minor break in at the Watergate offices. Coincidentally, that operation was coordinated by former CIA operatives, E. Howard Hunt and James McCord.

The agonizing public spectacle of the Watergate hearings in the early 1970’s, not only permanently damaged the reputation, needlessly, of a popular President, it cemented the power of behind-the-scenes political brokers who could influence the decision making of the most powerful office on earth. Nixon’s former boss, Dwight Eisenhower warned the American public of this emerging influence in America in his last national address, in January 1960, as he named the “Military Industrial Complex” as a dangerous influence in American politics.

Acting on that warning may have been the fatal blow for President Kennedy and may have been the incentive for deep state operatives to conspire against President Nixon, as each of them had been moved to make changes to the CIA, Federal Reserve Bank and various other governmental agencies.

The Danger Then — The Danger Today

Although the world has changed drastically since the 1970’s a constant has been the supremacy of the United States as a superpower. But Bible Prophecy shows that a demise of the “American Century” is inevitable.

Many students of the Bible understand the relationship between the promises of God to His people for obedience, and curses for disobedience. These were clearly specified to the children of Israel in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28. Prophecy students also recognize the relationship between the descendants of Israel and who these people are today. Think about it — with the dozens of Bible prophecies that specify the “last days,” — prior to the return of Jesus Christ — doesn’t it make sense that the most powerful nations in the last 250 years of man’s history, the English-speaking peoples of the world, would be mentioned?

Why America Can Fail!

It is an easy choice to identify the average citizen as a sinner, because the Bible shows that “. . .all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)

But is this the correct choice when assessing the health of a nation? Is your next-door neighbor the one you should fear in the downfall of the American Republic? What and whom does Bible prophecy identify as those most responsible for the direction of a nation and whom does God hold indict in many prophecies?

The Crisis In — Leadership!

Dozens of Bible prophecies indicate the primary problem in our modern societies are the leaders — the shepherds, prophets, elders, rulers, priests, judges and chiefs who improperly use their offices to rule over the people unjustly — perverting justice, taking bribes, defrauding the helpless and needy, causing the people to stumble and ruin society! The modern-day equivalents are not only politicians, Kings, Prime Ministers, Congressman, Senators and Judges, but also anyone in the public sphere with the authority to coerce action and influence behaviors. Note Isaiah 3:14-15:

“The Lord enters into judgment against the elders and leaders of his people: ‘It is you who have ruined my vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses. What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding the faces of the poor?’ declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.” (NIV)

This passage and many others implicate those leaders in the modern world who take advantage of and ruin God’s heritage, Israel — HIS people who He describes as a precious vineyard. God’s vineyard deserves attentive tending, protection and nourishment to produce good fruit, but the modern leaders who are unrighteous have all too often used the people for their own advantage, and nothing has been more revealing than the ends the evil and unrighteous leaders of society will go to in order to satisfy their selfish ambitions!

God holds the unrighteous, evil leaders of our modern nations responsible for leading His people astray and abusing them! (Zechariah 10:2-3) They will be punished for their evil deeds!

Not All Modern Leaders Are Evil

Some leaders truly want to help restore and help the common man. But an identifying mark of the “end times” is that those who stand up for the rights of the people and strive for the good are despised. Amos 5:10-13 is certainly a reflection of our modern age:

“They hate the one who reproves in the gate, and they abhor the one who speaks the truth. ¹¹ Therefore because you trample on the poor and take from them levies of grain,
you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not live in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine. ¹² For I know how many are your transgressions and how great are your sins— you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe and push aside the needy in the gate. ¹³ Therefore the prudent will keep silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.” (New Revised Standard Version)

Can you identify such corrupt leaders among us, in our modern nations today? It shouldn’t be hard. And you’d better become an expert at understanding good and evil in the modern world. In today’s world such leaders are outspoken opponents of free speech, protecting the unborn, removing individual civil liberties, and incessant war mongers’, for the purpose of financial gain. In the modern nations of the descendants of Israel today (the United States and other English-speaking nations) the prophet Amos was inspired to condemn such leaders and pronounce a very specific curse upon them. He wrote that they weren’t grieved by the calamity they had caused the nation, and they were the chief beneficiaries of national betrayal, and because of their treachery and selling out their own nation, they would be the first to go into national captivity! (Amos 6:3-7)

Will November 5, 2024 Be A Landslide Victory?

In the beginning of this article the suggestion was made that there is only one element separating former President Trump from an astounding political comeback. The resilience of the 45th President has been amazing. Before he even took office, his campaign was spied upon by his predecessor, he was constantly attacked, investigated, many of his supporters were harassed, he has been impeached twice (not convicted), indicted by his political foes, yet continues to win the support and approval of many millions of Americans. Why?

Because many of them recognize the system, the political operatives, and the deep state for the same reasons the Bible convicts the unjust leaders among us. They recognize the injustice associated with the illegitimate attempts to remove him from office in his first term, the flagrant election fraud that denied his second term in 2020, and the people understand that his candidacy, which has attracted the support of Tucker Carlson, Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Elon Musk, Nicole Sheridan, Vivek Ramaswamy, Joe Rogan, and many others, is truly concerned for the good of the American people and devoid of personal gain.

There have been too many reports of various types of election meddling, fraud and malfeasance with early voting, faulty machines, fake ballots, etc., to mention here. But barring a cheating scandal of monumental proportion, Donald J. Trump is likely to regain office once again. Only God, and people led by God can make America Great Again, and it seems, from the comments Donald Trump has made, that he understands that better than anyone.

(October 30, 2024) With just 5 days left before the most consequential election in the history of the United States, is America really at the crossroads?
In terms of the choice of the people, no.  But the actions of relatively few could decide the future course of the most powerful and prosperous nation in history.

Does God Choose National Leaders?

From a Biblical/Prophetic perspective, how is the Presidential election to be understood?  Many Christians believe God chooses national leaders, to fit His prophetic framework.  Some interpret a single prophecy from the book of Daniel regarding the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar as a template for all worldly offices.  This example is found in Daniel 4: 32

“And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.” (Emphasis ours)

The message in this prophecy was to Nebuchadnezzar and his Kingdom of Babylon, not every kingdom or nation of man, as the prophetic dream, message and interpretation given to Daniel was intended for a sole recipient — Nebuchadnezzar.  It is not a prophecy that includes all Kings, Presidents, Prime Ministers or other leaders through history.

In some instances, God has chosen certain individuals to either fit His purpose, or to fulfill His word, as in the case of the prophecy of the Persian King Cyrus, 160 years earlier by the prophecy Isaiah. (Isaiah 44:28: Who says of Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd, And he shall perform all My pleasure, Saying to Jerusalem, “You shall be built,” And to the temple, “Your foundation shall be laid.” ’)

From the Garden of Eden, God has allowed men to make their own choices — free moral agency.  In the United States, the system of governance is designed for the electorate to choose their leaders through a balanced system of popular and electoral vote.  In the best of worlds, this system would allow us to gauge the true will of the people and to assess their moral value overall as a society.  Will the 2024 Presidential and down ballot election be free and fair?  Only if the upcoming election results could be trusted to be the will of the American voter, could the health of the nation be calculated fairly.

This is a question, or issue because of the substantial body of evidence that has accrued since the Presidential election of 2020 and the midterm elections of 2022 with the accusation of election interference, election fraud and malfeasance.  It is not the purpose of this report to cite or validate the numerous citations or proof.

The greatest question for students of Bible Prophecy is how to evaluate the Presidential election?

Prophetic Trends of the 21st Century

While it is important to understand that God does not select every single national leader and that He has allowed man to make his choice of government for the past 6,000 years, it is also important to recognize that there is a god of this world, whose aim and ambition is contrary to the interest of God and humanity.  (2 Corinthians 4:4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.)

Satan’s objective is to deceive mankind, and as Paul also explained to the Ephesians, he is the “Prince of the power of the air,” (Ephesians 2:2) 

As we trace his involvement through history, from the time of the deception of Adam and Eve to our present world, his involvement in the affairs of man is apparent in many ways. Indeed, he has deceived the entire world, and Paul indicates that everyone has been influenced by this diabolical and wicked being; “in which you once walked according to the course of this world”

His deception takes the form of ideas and thoughts that lead away from the true God and His commands.  Though we have all been subject to the deception of this world, the greatest effect of the devil is described in the last part of the verse; “the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,”

This means that the devil’s greatest work is done in those who have no intention in obedience to God or His commands.  As such, Paul is not painting all humanity with a broad brush of condemnation.  The work of the devil is greatest among those who disregard law, morality and justice.  This explains the Machiavellian attitude of the “end justifies the means,” because if there is no God or morality, then any action is justified to obtain one’s unholy ambition.

This is one of the most important prophetic trends of this present evil age (Galatians 1:4), from which we ask God’s deliverance!

Along with the deception and influence of the devil, the Apostle Paul warned those of us living today — “in the last days,” that “perilous times will come.” (2 Timothy 3:1)

Why are the last days troublesome and perilous?  Paul continues to show that men (some, certainly not all) would be blasphemous, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, despisers of good and traitors, among other descriptors. (2 Timothy 3:2-3)

Additionally, Paul prophesied that men would become more and more evil and deceptive.  With the understanding that the god of this world is influencing and deceiving those in whom is no fear of God, it is obvious that it is within the leadership of this world that is most fearsome, and in whom is the greatest threat to humanity. (2 Timothy 3:13)

The 47th President of the United States

The phrase “Make America Great Again,” has been demonized to such an extent that in some areas of the nation, it might be dangerous to identify with the “MAGA” movement.  So, who doesn’t want American to be great?  Not just great for its own citizens, but for the entire world?  The populist movement is often misunderstood.  While it is a movement of restoration of national pride, it is also one of not advocating for war but seeking peace with all nations on earth.  It protects the life of the unborn, and the freedom of speech, as well as the determination to disengage from seemingly endless wars abroad.

World News & Prophecy Review cannot predict the future.  Our advocacy is for a climate that will allow the freedom of expression as the Apostle Paul stated, “that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,” (Ephesians 6:19)

Finally, should Christians have preference for political candidates?  In Romans 13, Paul shows that members of the body of Christ should be respectful citizens because governmental offices operate under the overall jurisdiction of God.  There is a caveat to governmental submission though.  Those who occupy offices of authority in this world are to be “ministers of good.”  Christians should respect and obey the laws and leaders which are in conformity with the Law of God.  If man’s leaders do not respect God, His Law, but instead are evil and advocates of breaking law and hurtful to their fellow man, there is no expectation of obedience to them.

Therefore, it is not contrary to God’s will to ask that “God bless America!”
