Continued from the previous chapter.

In America, Jews tend to be Democrats, wherefore Democrat leaders feign a pro-Israeli position as a result. Republicans tend to support American involvement in Israel, but, if I understand God correctly from his Old-Testament writings, He wants Israel to cut itself off from America's protection, and to look to Him for all her needs. I was not in favor of Bush's long-term Iraqi agenda because Babylon is God's enemy. The anti-Christ comes to be that country's end-time ruler for this very cause: that God might destroy him and waste Babylon together at Armageddon.

The anti-Christ will embolden Arab fighters, and God will open a way for the success of the King of the North until the Jews are brought down with their faces to the dust...until in their last moments of staggering those stubborn people who call themselves Jews raise a white flag to God in surrender to His will.

According to the last verses of Daniel 11, Armageddon is timed when the King of the North commits military suicide in efforts to simultaneously take a good chunk of the world down with him. And so it could appear that the nuclear-button Russian that we had feared all Cold-War long will come to make real the American nightmare...at which time (said Jesus in Matthew 24) no flesh would be saved if not for the Appearance of Jesus Christ to intervene. But that appearance will be another nightmare for Democrats, worse still than a universal nuclear suicide.

I hate to break it to the Democrat Jews, but soon and very soon your Democrat leaders may turn coat, and side with the anti-Christ and his anti-Israeli hoards. God has always turned against you the very peoples you looked to for security and fulfillment, but as yet you have not learned this lesson. Armageddon will make you learn it.

While the United States and Europe both ceased funding for the Palestinian government when Palestinian voters recently (early 2006) elected Hamas to power, Russia did not stop the funding, tending to show that Russia's position still leans anti-Israeli. And why shouldn't it? Israeli Zionism has been the epitome of American involvement in the Middle East. But things are predicted to change. Perhaps this change is part-and-parcel with God's judgment against the Western Zionists whom control vast industries.

Perhaps the recent movement toward a Palestinian state is evidence already that Zionists are being subdued by globalist liberals. If this indicates a schism between globalist Rothschilds and the liberals, nothing could make me happier. Dragon versus dragon is a good thing because dragon partnered with dragon is very bad for us.

In order for the betrayal of Israel to take place, Israel must come to be viewed as the problem. When the world comes to the brink of an Armageddon-like situation, the majority of Western-world powers will more assuredly abandon Israel for viewing it as the problem. This is a generalization that many Western leaders hold to, but it's also from my assessment of the future based on a Western False Prophet merging with the anti-Christ. It should be interesting to learn what exactly "false prophet" refers to in this one personality, but it does not sound like a typical liberal atheist. A liberal Christian is a better fit.

I've been expecting a Russia-US alliance unto a global government ever since I started to believe (in 1997) that the False Prophet would be an American President/leader, and below was the beginning of that alliance, apparently, as told in an article dated May 7, 2006, in Britain's Arabic-language Elaph newspaper:

"Russian Foreign Secretary Sergueii Lavrov called for the establishment of a world government, bringing together the United States and Russia. Lavrov's call comes at a time of a chilling of relations between Moscow and [Republican] Washington and amidst signs of a new Cold War...

In an interview granted to the magazine 'Russia in Global Politics,' Lavrov said that bringing together a 'chorus' of major nations into a world government will eliminate the jockeying for power that creates imbalances. Lavrov was certain that 'most countries will welcome such a grouping of leadership.'

He also said that there is no place in Russian politics for animosity toward the U.S., and that the basic goals of American and Russian foreign policy were nearly identical. He made clear that the policies of both countries are to create a more secure and predictable world...

http://www.watchingamerica.com/elaph000001.shtml

The United States probably viewed Lavrov's words as weakness, wanting a peace treaty rather than confrontation where Russia is the weaker party. Here is Russia still on her knees, yet asking, as though she were equally influential in world affairs, to form/join a one-world government with the United States.

Surely, there is no way for such a partnership to take place with the Republican-hawk America. Vice-President Cheney lashed out at Russian policy in May 2006, and Lavrov hit back defensively. Therefore, Russian leaders announcing publicly the desire to form a global government with the United States may have been aiming their sentiments at leading Democrats, who happened to take White-House power from the Republicans in late 2008.

But, as fate would have it, the first Obama administration's "reset button" failed to form a partnership with Russia, lacking sincerity from the start. Even Hillary Clinton started to chew the Russian leaders apart over their differences in Syria. And then came the fall of the pro-Russian president of Ukraine in 2014, which sealed, to this day, American-Russia hostilities.

It's not likely that Republicans will persecute Christians in the tribulation period. If it's not the Democrats / Liberals who will be our tribulation enemies, then who? I watched Democrats closely in the 2004 election and wasn't surprised so much at their making sky-high complaints against every tiny opportunity afforded by the Bush administration as I was at the feverish levels of hatred toward the "Christian right." In fact, Democrat hatred for Bush was heightened by his public confessions and acknowledgements to born-again Christianity (I now think he was insincere / lying about that).

This hatred must have everything to do with what we're about to face in the tribulation, wherefore I tend to expect that Democrats will then be in power. Question: why are Black believers in Jesus still in the Democratic Party???

Although Democrat leaders are anti-Christian, they realize that they must portray a pro-Christian image of sorts in order to win elections. No sooner did Bush win the 2004 election that Democrats were talking on how they could best cater to Christian voters for 2008. It has been my opinion that the False Prophet is Given that title precisely due to his catering to Christian voters in the United States. Recent talk amid Democratic circles is spouting off such comments as, "Christians don't have the monopoly on morals." In other words, these people who in truth despise Christian morality seem poised to paint themselves up as Christianized just to win an election. What kind of traitorous rulers could they turn out to be?

It seemed to me that, if the Americans did not pull out of Iraq, the King of the North would not be capable of seizing the country with the "ease" and success indicated by Daniel 11:21-24:

...he will enter while at ease and seize the kingdom with smoothness...And after they [the fallen Iraqis and the Ruler of a Covenant] join themselves to him [Gog], he will practice deceit. For he will come and be strong with a few people. With ease, even into the rich places of the province, he will enter..."

And so the Democrats, who favored a pull out, were creating a situation in which Iraq would be ripe for the King of the North. If correct that the False Prophet will be an American, chances are that liberals will be responsible for Armageddon, not merely because they don't realize the present politico-prophetic realities leading up to it, but because they tolerate and/or happily support gay marriage, pornography, fornication, adultery, spouse swapping, child sex, orgies, abortion, recreational drugs, twisted Biblical doctrine, evolution, occult media, occult churches. Did I miss anything? Democrat leaders have become the puke of human kind.

You may think it off-topic for me to speak on American liberals in a chapter that is supposed to be about the anti-Christ, but quite to the contrary, liberals (worldwide) are the people of the anti-Christ. If not Western liberals, then who? I frankly am not sure whom God despises the most, American liberals or Muslims (by the way, a few Democrats are not liberals, and some Republicans lean liberal). Both liberals and Muslims are equally ruinous, both worthy of losing their gift of life. If a woman has the right to take away the life of her unborn child for whatever reason, she should have no complaint on the day that God comes with his machete to abort what he considers the weeds of society. Doesn't He have a right to destroy His own children, if they stand in the way of His pleasure, his career?

Let's not mince words; I'm only passing on the message of the Bible. Society cannot tolerate forever both liberals and Christians; one of us has to go. That's the message of the Bible. Liberals are defined as those who wish to "progress" away from Biblical values and toward "freedom" from God. The number-one message of the Bible: there is no freedom nor peace nor success nor triumph when people abandon God. There is only a self-induced illusion of those things. Success in making big money, or success in lying one's way to political power, is exactly the destruction of the soul. And in the end, successful liberal politics will be the destruction of the planet.

The reason that terrorists and other Muslims hate America so much is due to sinful lifestyles of American liberals. Moreover, the reason that Muslims hate Christianity so much is that Muslims have mistaken American liberals for Christians. There's hope, for not all liberals have remained liberals, and not all liberals are anti-Christian. But again, why are African-American believers supporting the Democrats? Will Black believers also support the False Prophet when he arrives? They supported Obama, and he's definitely demonic material in the self-perpetuated guise of a good man.

Liberals think they are the righteousness of the planet, and view Christians as pig-heads wanting to impose their moral absolutes on others. In reality, Christians don't want liberals to impose their cesspools on what was once a decent society. It wasn't Christians who held political power when Western society devolved into wicked chaos. It's not Christian America, between big cities, that has become the puke of mankind. It's almost always the liberal cities, almost always run by money-grubbing Jews.

On the visible side of things, liberals are winning this war because God has taken a hands-off approach until their guilt has been firmly established. On the invisible side of things, liberals are damned and headed to their last hurrah.

Daniel 11:23 doesn't tell us how much time transpires between the fall of a Middle-East military and the entry of the King of the North into it. I expect it to be Iraq. The question as to how Gog becomes "strong with a few people" can be answered thus: lots and lots of anti-West Muslims coming to support a fallen Iraqi military. I wrote that sentence here in 1997, and the Iraqi insurgency turned out to fulfill those words strikingly well. I envisioned a Russian Gog entering a situation to support an Iraqi army decimated by a flood-like army, and to thus get a foothold in the country. A flood-like army did enter Iraq under George Bush in 2003, and it did decimate the Iraqi military. But Russia never showed up.

I'm now, in 2024, left wondering whether the Bush invasion was indeed the fulfillment of verse 22 while the invasion into Egypt, starting at verse 25, can be more than two decades later. The alternative is another, future army flooding into Iraq, only this time with Gog showing up. Can we even imagine a justifiable reason for another Western-coalition attack into Iraq? Perhaps if the Shi'ite government in Baghdad sides heavily with Iran as the West decides to attack it, with Israel in support. That could be the Armageddon button.

Israel has let it be known that it wants religious Iran gone and replaced with a pro-West government. Israel is now jousting with Iran. Perhaps Israel is tired of waiting for the American military to attack Iran, and is seeking to start the war to drag the West into it. Netanyahu gave me that impression since the start of the new Gaza war in late 2023.

Precisely due to the smallness of the beginnings of the King of the North, I expect his rise to Iraqi power apart from Russian military. I'm not looking to a Russian president to fill the boots of Gog, but an agent of the Russian president, even a secret agent. But not the president, and especially not Putin, for he doesn't have the personality of the anti-Christ. He doesn't spout off against God/Jesus or Israel. We are looking for one just like the animalistic, death-threat Iranian leaders of the past, since the 1980s.

It's interesting that ancient Gog looks to me like the Royal Scythians who conquered into Iraq's Medea region about the time their related Cimmerians conquered into the land of GOGarene. Therefore, per chance, end-time Gog could be from the Iranians in the Caucasus who are now called by another name. This theory requires Gog, the man, to join with a nation capable of devastating end-time Europe, and that to me sounds like the Russians. The part of Iran adjacent to the Caucasus is even at the Assyrian theater, and Isaiah does call the anti-Christ by the name, "the Assyrian."

What is Zhirinovsky doing these days besides throwing flower pots at Russian Jews? And what does American intrusion into the Middle-East mean to him? Here's how Vladimir Volkov of the World Socialist Website put it on March 29th, 2003:

"The Russian nationalists propose various scenarios for how the [Iraq] war could be used to stabilize Russian geopolitical influence. The notorious right-wing demagogue Vladimir Zhirinovsky has already declared: 'We should behave worse (i.e. more impudently) than the Americans.' He has called alternately for Russia to send a massive military force to the Middle East, to establish pro-Russian regimes in the Trans Caucasus and Central Asia, and to crush the Baltic states economically. By these and other means he proposes to elevate Russia once again to the rank of a superpower. 'Of course we are sorry for Iraq,' Zhirinovsky declared, 'but the Iraq war [= Bush war] is a great moment for Russia'"

(full article http://www.wsws.org/articles/2003/mar2003/russ-m29.shtml .)

What Zhirinovsky apparently means is that the defeat of Iraq is a great moment of opportunity...for the realization of his own dreams for a Russia-subdued Middle East. And see below a Reader's Digest quote from Zhirinovsky:

"I am the Almighty. I am the Tyrant.
I will follow in Hitler's footsteps"
(Reader's Digest Dec. 1994)

http://www.spiritoftruth.org/cached/The%20Zhirinovsky%20Connection.htm

Zhirinovsky is known for his verbal stretches. But might not this political silliness be the very thing that fulfills Scripture where it informs us that the anti-Christ will proclaim himself to be God (or a god)? See 2 Thessalonians 2:4 in conjunction with Daniel 11:37.

Zhirinovsky's political career was still shining somewhat as he filled the position of Deputy Speaker in the State Duma until 2022. Until that date, he was the leader of the LIBERAL Democratic Party. It's sounds like a mirror image of the American Democrats. He has not only written a book entitled, "My Struggle," but also one entitled, "Russia's Last Dash to the South," in which he reveals, among other things, antagonism toward Israel. I ask you, what Russian could fit the shoes of the anti-Christ any better than he? Does Zhirinovsky not have a "strong face," as Daniel 8 says he must?

No one seeking a power base in Iraq poses as the Jewish Messiah, for no Arab would accept him as such. The apostle John defined "anti-Christ" for us as anyone "which does not confess that Jesus is of God" (1 John 4:3). In 1 John 2:22, "anti-Christ" is defined as someone who denies the Father and the Son. Surely, Christians who teach that the anti-Christ will come disguised as the Son/Messiah of God are in error, for there is not one line in the Bible that speaks of the anti-Christ as a counterfeit Jesus.

Upon understanding that the "anti" in "anti-Christ" means "against Christ" rather than "alternative Christ," and that the Bible reveals the anti-Christ blaspheming God openly in public (Daniel 11:36), watch not for a Jewish peacemaker, but for a rudely outspoken war-hog wanna-be...like Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who, when he first appeared strong in the Russian political scene (mid-90s), said that Iraq would be key to his aspirations of conquering the Middle East.

The problem is, an anti-West anti-Christ is a difficult riddle to explain. In the way most Christians read the texts, the Bible says that members of all nations will "worship" him, suggesting UN acceptance and appreciation. That in turn suggests a Gog who will feign some Western allegiance. I can't see the world worshiping a Zhirinovsky type, but a thing that I've not been able to discern is whether Revelation's events are global versus in the Israeli theater only.

The great tribulation cometh to cut our worldly delights down to size; otherwise, stretch out an arm and receive the skincode, and give glory to the counterfeit New Age. The true New Age (of Jesus Christ) will be ruled by those who maintained worldly poverty prior to the tribulation, but those sheep who valued riches prior to the tribulation shall be last in the Kingdom of God. Rejoice, poor of the Lamb, because of your high position before God. In just a little while, you will pain no more. But the rich of the Lamb, who are afraid or otherwise unwilling to share with the poor of the Lamb, in order to relieve their pains, are in danger of rejection at the Gate. Many wealthy Christians are refusing to ponder the lateness of the times, and do we wonder why?

It would disappoint me to find that the 666 skincode is localized merely in the Israeli / Muslim theater. That is, our preparing trib retreats in the West may not be required, and so it bothers me to urge Christians to make preparations all for nothing. On the other hand, it would be a great relief if Christians in most gentile nations didn't need to endure the 666.

If the Revelation plaques are local to Israel, it can better explain how the world continues as-usual even as the plagues fall like dominoes. However, it seems that God has not given any clue to inform us as to how widespread the plagues or the 666 are. Therefore, I assume the worst. Generally, Christians view the plagues as global.

Nothing could be more central to this topic than our sharing with the poor of the Lord, for what good is it for us to discover the identity of the anti-Christ if we fail God before and during the tribulation with our generosity? It would be a coming-up shy to think that merely dropping our worldly lives in the tribulation, and then hiding out as best we can, will get us safely into the Kingdom. Giving money to the Lord is not giving 10 percent to the Crystal Cathedral, but is to relieve the poor of the Lord which this world has made.

By the way, the Lord does not ask for the 10 percent tithe in New Testament times, nor does He require it, in my opinion. The 10 percent was to be given by each of the eleven tribes of Israel to feed and shelter the one Levite tribe that was ordered by God not to earn a living in the regular way...but was instead to tend to Temple duties. There is no Levite tribe today within the Church, nor any body of full-time ministers amounting to 1/12th the Church population, for us to feed, wherefore the tithe is no longer a requirement. Note that none of the epistles speak on the necessity of giving the Old Testament tithe to the New Testament Church. Today, there are roughly 100 or more people/families per pastor, yet there are many churches who openly "demand" 10 percent each.

My wish is that most churches not pay pastors to preach, but rather assign the job to a few retired men who can rotate with even a few younger men. I think it's a compromising shame to pass an offering plate during a church assembly. The offering plate makes me feel like I'm paying to hear Bible teaching. I'd rather hear a less polished speaker who does it for exactly zero money. This for me defines Christianity.

A liberal Christian is akin to an atheist who maintains Christian morals. Liberal Christians like the teachings of Jesus yet tend to deny his powers, and may even deny His resurrection and the rapture. Might the False Prophet is such a one? It doesn't seem likely that even a liberal Christian would put up a 666 in honor of the Christ-hating individual. It's more likely that a false Christian would, one who disguises himself as Christian yet wants nothing to do with it. It's possible that Revelation assigns the False Prophet with the two horns of a lamb due to his gentle personality, but it's also possible that it's for his Christian facade.

It wouldn't be hard for 666 plotters to find a man who wears such a facade in order to get as many Christians as possible to receive the mark, and moreover, the plotters would wish to see liberal Christians, and even full churches, utilizing peer pressure to urge us to receive it. Trumpism looks to me exactly like a satanic movement to sweep Christians to damnation.

Obama's liberals are at the charge of American anti-Christness. Obama has not gone away. He's still trying to influence the Democrat party.
