(NOTE: For those that are “short version” readers, there is a Summary paragraph at the end.)

Monday morning (23 Sep 2024), I was watching a 700 Club interview with David M Friedman, the former US ambassador to Israel. The main topic of the interview [link to video] was Friedman’s new book, and a movement by the same name, “One Jewish State“. The program’s host, Gordon Robertson, wisely set the stage with a discussion of Friedman’s time as ambassador under President Donald Trump. One point of that discussion was the Abraham Accords.

If one clicks the link and reads the Abraham Accords, the document is long on “goals” but short on the “nuts and bolts” of how to achieve those goals. That structure is not uncommon in diplomatic documents. That said, a key point was mentioned in the discussion, but then the men moved on with no exposition of that key point. Starting at the 18:20 point, Robertson says that, before the Accords, the highest levels of the Israeli government had discussions that basically said, “Let’s get rid of the fiction that the West Bank [i.e.: Judea and Samaria] is some kind of ‘occupied territory’ and let’s take it. It’s ours.” But then, Friedman said that, “The period of suspension ended on August 13th, and so whatever agreements were made are no longer applicable.”

As a TV cartoon character during my childhood used to say, “Holllllllllllllld everything!” That was major!!

The fact that the peace accords are no longer applicable is quite significant. But, what leaped out at me was the date. You see, months ago, I looked at the calendar and circled 13 Aug 2024 because it corresponds to the 9th of Av — the day of tragedies — this year on the Jewish calendar. Several tragedies of historic proportions — including the destruction of both of the Temples in Jerusalem — happened on that specific date in different years across the centuries. It is widely regarded in Jewish and Christian prophetic teachings that more tragedies will occur on the 9th of Av during the End Times. I believe that at least one major tragedy just did occur.

But, in my understanding of prophecy, it was not “just any” tragedy. This was the tragedy that seals the doom of the entire world. It was part of a “domino effect” that had started months prior. Before detailing that, though, I need to set the stage by explaining that my views on End Times prophecy have recently changed.

The change began four years ago, during “Mask Madness”. During that time, the government of the United States took giant steps toward totalitarianism. They defied scientific principles and procedures, legal procedure, medical procedure, common sense, morality, and the Constitution of the United States in order to force large segments of the US population into doing things that, in retrospect, were totally unnecessary. In my opinion, the most egregious step was putting nanobots into the vaccine, requiring people to accept the vaccine, and suppressing* the voices of doctors that decried the mandates. (*The doctors were suppressed by threatening to suspend or revoke their medical licenses.) As a result of those brave doctors that spoke out despite the threats, the public learned that the nanobots are linked to 5G wireless communication technology. Among the heavy-handed techniques that governments used to enforce mask wearing and vaccines were the shutting down of churches and the denial of employment.

How does all that apply to Bible prophecies about the End Times? Well, I’m so glad that you asked.

The shutting down of churches was the “great falling away” (2nd Thess. 2:3). The context of that passage implies that the falling away happens shortly before the Day of the Lord, which comes at the end of the seven-year Tribulation period. (It should be noted that the Rapture of the Church and the Return of Jesus are two separate events — although some schools of thought are that they occur in immediate proximity, while other schools of thought are that they are separated by up to seven years. The seven-year separation is known as the “pre-Trib Rapture” scenario — which I believe is a false teaching. To see why, keep reading.) The nanobots in the vaccine are the means of implementing the Mark of the Beast (Rev. 13:18). (I’ll explain that later. For now, just follow the timeline.) Many of the people that got the vaccine got the festering sores described in Revelation 16:2. Many also died from the lengthy blood clots that clogged their bodies. (Here is a video, but it is not for the squeamish.) Jesus warned that, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” (emphasis added)

For many years, I found that last sentence to be one of the most confusing verses in the Holy Bible. But, when I saw the looks of desperation on people’s faces during Mask Madness, suddenly the meaning became obvious. In great contrast to Jesus’ many commands to “fear not”, it was fear that caused so many churches to shut down. And, many of those churches never reopened. So, just because a “spirit of fear” was taking control of the population, how does that connect to the Mark of the Beast?

People were denied jobs if they did not take the vaccine. No job, no money. No money, no food. They could not buy nor sell. (Revelation 13:16-18)

At this point, some people will try to brush-off this argument by saying, “Yeah, but… people got the vaccine in their upper arm(, and not in their right hand or their forehead.” That’s true. But, those people are not fully aware of how the technology was set up. (*We’ll get back to that “upper arm” thing a little bit later.) Buckle your seatbelt….

The man of lawlessness sits on the throne in the Temple, and declares himself to be above all that is called God. (2nd Thess. 2:4) But, nowhere in that passage does it say the Temple “in Jerusalem”. For decades, I missed that point — as do most modern Bible teachers. (My eyes were opened by a dear friend named John, now departed. He had a blog and was known online as “The Transporter”, because he drove a gasoline tanker truck.) So, if it is not talking about the Temple that will be rebuilt in Jerusalem, then which Temple is it??

The temple in which the Antichrist sits is in your body!! And, the “throne” in which he sits is your brain! Let that soak in for a moment, and then read it again. So, if this interpretation is correct, then how does that happen? Simple: the nanobots. (See? Now we are coming full circle.) Nanobots can be programmed to travel via your bloodstream to a specific place in your body — such as “the right hand or the forehead”. In other words, the location of the function of the nanobots does not need to be the same as the location of their injection into your body. That is something that no one in prior decades nor centuries could have understood, because nanobots were not even invented until 1997, and then they had to be refined to the point that they could accomplish the function that Satan had intended for centuries. That is why the angel told Daniel to “seal the book until the time of the end”. (Daniel 12:4)

The deep end of the pool

If you thought that things were getting “deep” before, get ready.

Circled above is the proof that not only is the vaccine the Mark of the Beast, but also it is the Abomination of Desolation. Remember that the body is “the temple of the Holy Spirit”. Daniel 9:27 says that the Abomination of Desolation comes on the “wing” of the temple. In the allegorical language of the Holy Bible, arms are sometimes referred to as “wings”. So, one’s arm is the “wing of the temple” of the body. Where is the vaccine given? In the upper arm — the “wing of the temple” of the Holy Spirit. But, wait, there’s more…!!

What is the ultimate “desolation”? It is separation from God. For a brief period of time, early in the Mask Madness times, there were many stories of people that got the vaccine and then they could no longer sense God in their lives. (Those stories quickly disappeared from the Internet….) What else happened to people that “took the jab”? They developed elongated, fibrous blood clots that killed them. It was called “sudden death syndrome”. Satan came “to kill, to steal, and to destroy”. But, wait, there’s more!

During that same time period, companies introduced special scanners that could tell if people had received the vaccine. The place where it was most publicized was in front of grocery stores in Israel. The nanobots had been programmed to travel to a person’s forehead. There, the scanner would activate a bioluminescent enzyme named Luciferase. (Yes, you read correctly….) When a person “stands before” the scanner (as one “stands before” an idol), the scanner activates the Luciferase that was carried by the nanobots, and then the person’s forehead will glow if they are “approved” (thus making them seem like “gods”). Other types of scanners would turn a person’s cell phone into a “vaccine passport”. (One reason for the big push for 5G technology.) Either way, it is the enforcement of “no man can buy or sell” without having the Mark of the Beast. So, again, the vaccine is both the Mark and the Abomination.

And now, only after one has accrued all of this mind-blowing foundational understanding, we can begin to grasp the main focus of this post — the fact that a major milestone of the Tribulation has recently passed. (Yep, read that again. Not only are we already in the seven-year Tribulation, but it is now more than halfway finished. Read on.) If you have been brought up on a steady diet of the “pre-Trib Rapture” school of thought, then this information might seem almost like heresy. But, in my belief, that school of thought is the heresy. It lulls people into a sense of spiritual complacency. It is the idea that, “Oh, I don’t need to worry about [fill in the blank], because I will be ‘Raptured out’ before things get that bad.”

Look around you. Things are definitely “that bad” already. Four years ago, the vast majority of churches in a “Christian country” voluntarily* stopped gathering together to hear the Word of God merely because of a spirit of fear that was based upon a big lie. (*Yes, “voluntarily”. Few, if any, Americans were forced at gunpoint to stay away from church. Most “sheeple” just went along with the unlawful directives — even after the root cause was proven to be a lie.) The handful of pastors that kept their doors open were ridiculed — even by their fellow pastors! Meanwhile, a handful of men are being paid multi-millions of dollars per year to play games, and the same pastors that shut their doors out of fear also shorten their sermons so that their flock can have time to go watch the ball game! Drag queens are teaching little children in schools! Government leaders in America are openly promoting Socialism — and they still have their jobs! Those same “leaders” are allowing our borders to become like cheesecloth — and they still have their jobs! Millions of so-called Christians are gathering together each week in “churches” that are led by homosexual “pastors” — that still have their jobs! Moral decay is so rampant in our country, and all over the world, that some “pastors” are telling their flock that there is nothing wrong with the same sexual perversion that angered God enough to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah — and they still have their jobs! Jesus said that, before His return, things would be “as it was in the days of Noah” (Matthew 24:37). How were things during the days of Noah? The whole world was corrupt and full of violence (Genesis 6:11) How much worse do people want things to get before you realize that we are already in the Tribulation??! But, just in case you are not yet convinced, keep reading.

One of the absolute key identifying marks* of the Tribulation is that the Antichrist breaks a peace agreement with Israel halfway through the Tribulation. (*This holds true regardless of one’s school of thought about the starting point of the Tribulation or the timing of Rapture. The “one week” is allegorical language for a period of seven years.) So, if the Tribulation is seven years long (and Daniel 9:27 says that it is), then halfway through the Tribulation would be 3-1/2 years. This point might seem a bit “basic”, but it is key to understanding the milestone that passed recently.

Before proceeding, a point of linguistics is necessary. The main understanding of the Greek prefix “anti-” is translated as “against”. Thus, we view the Anti-Christ as a man that is “against Christ”. But, there is a secondary translation in which “anti-” can mean “in place of”. Thus, if Jesus is the supreme authority, and if someone looks to another person or entity as having higher authority than Jesus, then that person or entity is now “in place of Christ”. And, putting another person or entity in place of Christ would be an extreme violation of the First Commandment. And, because “God is not mocked“, then that person or entity would have invited God’s fierce wrath and destruction upon himself/itself. Well, that is exactly what happened when our government ordered Christians into “forsaking the assembly of ourselves together“.

Because of that linguistic point, and because of what our government knowingly did to disrupt people and the economy, and because of the massive shift toward tyranny on a worldwide scale, my views about the identity of the Anti-Christ have changed. I used to think that it was a person. But now, I have become increasingly convinced that it is a government — and, specifically, the government of the United States of America. It is worth noting that a growing number of Bible teachers have pointed out that there is no mention nor description of the USA in any End Times prophecies — despite our purported identity as a “Christian nation”. Although there is significant evidence that the USA was founded on Christian principles, our country has left that safe harbor long ago, and we are now on a course of moral uncertainty. America is tossed about like the foam on the sea. (See not only James 1:6, but also Isaiah 57:20 and Ephesians 4:14.) But remember, Jesus has authority over the storm and He has a remnant. That remnant might be considered the Special Operations division of the Church.

Our government has also established itself “in place of Christ” by doling out massive quantities of welfare payments — thus purporting itself to be the “provider of all good”, in place of God our Provider. Thus, many people are willing to do whatever the government says, no matter how ridiculous or how much in violation of the Constitution, common sense, or even God’s laws. Again, we have an Anti-Christ that is not a person. Given that mankind is the crowning achievement of God’s creation, having an Anti-Christ that is not even a person is a huge insult to God. And, mocking God is the goal of Satan.

With these various sections of the foundation now in place, let’s look at the key event. The event itself was part of a “domino effect” established by [purported] President Joe Biden. Back on the 1st of February, this year, Biden issued Executive Order 14115 — which, among other things, labels Israeli kibbutz settlers (in Israel…!) as “extremists”. (Page 1, Paragraph 2, Line 1) Then, on the 14th of June, Biden issued sanctions against an Israeli settler group. Then, on the 13th of August, Biden allowed the “period of suspension” of the Abraham Accords to expire — on the 9th of Av on the Jewish calendar!! As the old cop saying goes, “One is an accident, two is a coincidence, three is a pattern.”

Although Biden is not the only morally questionable person to ever hold office, he does qualify as a “man of lawlessness“. He has violated various laws — and the Constitution, and even God’s laws — with increasing impunity. And now, three times so far this year, he has made it United States foreign policy to undermine Israel and make peace more difficult. It is not mere coincidence that the sanctions against Israel were issued 3-1/2 years into Biden’s term of office. So, regardless of whether the Anti-Christ is a person or a government, these actions match the description predicted in the Holy Bible. In the language of the Bible, the term “he” is often used for both a king and the country that he leads. Thus, “he” defeated his enemy, even if the king is seated on his throne in his palace, many miles from his army that did the actual fighting. In like manner, “he” (Biden) has turned America’s back upon Israel.

Biden would not be in the Oval Office if not for his prior term as [purported] vice-president under Barack Obama, whose name means “crooked“. There is significant reason to suspect that Obama seized power under false pretenses. There is also allegorical reason to suspect Obama as the predicted False Prophet — the man that puts the Anti-Christ into power. One of the goals of both the False Prophet and the Anti-Christ is to provide “aid and comfort” to the enemies of Israel.

Summary

Let’s look back at all of these pieces of the puzzle and see if they fit the pattern described in the Holy Bible. A man of questionable loyalty to his own country and to God (Obama, the False Prophet) assists a man of lawlessness into power “by intrigue” (see Daniel 11:21). That man uses his power to break a peace accord with Israel, 3-1/2 years after coming into power. (As an added “bonus” to our train of logic, the breaking of the peace accord is “sealed” on the 9th of Av, the Jewish “day of tragedies”.) At the time of the breaking of the peace accord, the War of Gog and Magog is already in progress. (See Ezekiel 38:8, cf.) As I’ve said several times on several platforms, the War of Gog and Magog began when Russia invaded Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin is not trying to “reunite the Russian Empire”, as the news media tries to convince sheeple. Instead, he is marching toward Jerusalem — and Ukraine merely happens to be in the way. The War of Gog and Magog is the precursor to the Battle of Armageddon. And, Armageddon is the final event before Jesus returns to establish His kingdom and worldwide peace.

(NOTE: There is actually much more that I could have written about this topic, but this post was getting a bit long. So, I welcome questions and comments to which I can reply with more facts and Scripture.)

Major Update

A few hours after posting this, the Holy Spirit gave me a “breadcrumb” to follow. I looked it up, and here is what I learned. It is well-known that both US presidents from the Bush family were members of the infamous Skull and Bones Society. The father, George Herbert Walker Bush (known as “Bush 1”) had the Bonesman nickname “Magog”. But, lesser known is the fact that the son, George Walker Bush (known as “Bush 2”) had the Bonesman nickname “Gog”. Both of them oversaw CIA clandestine operations against Russia and Afghanistan. Thus, the US wars in Afghanistan were also, in effect, secretive precursors to the Wars of Gog and Magog. There must be more to this, but I’m not sure how well I could dig into one of the most secretive societies on Earth.
