The content suggests a prophecy likening the United States, particularly New York City, to Biblical Babylon. It outlines a sequence of catastrophic events leading to an “American Apocalypse,” culminating in a return of Christ. Key events include a monetary collapse, riots, Trump’s rise to power, and the establishment of a Palestinian state.
THERE IS NO NATION ON EARTH, other than THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and THERE IS NO CITY IN THE WORLD, other than NEW YORK CITY that could possibly match the description of BABYLON given in the book of REVELATION chapter eighteen…
Because it does not fall until the end (chapter 18) of the Tribulation, I perceive that the GREAT AMERICAN APOCALYPSE will not happen until very near to the end of the Tribulation.
Based on that observation, I would see the following as THE MOST LOGICAL, if not the only, ORDER OF EVENTS.
1. A COLLAPSE OF THE MONETARY SYSTEM. 2. RIOTS AND COLLAPSE. 3. TRUMP ELECTED. 4. TRUMP GIVEN UNHEARD OF AUTHORITY AND POWER. (To address and solve the emergency at hand) 5. ALMOST SUPERNATURAL, SPEEDY RECOVERY. 6. NEW DIGITAL CURRENCY. 7. CHIP, NATIONAL AND WORLDWIDE. 8. INABILITY TO BUY, SELL, TRADE, OR BARTER WITHOUT THE MARK. 9. TRUMP MAKES PEACE IN MIDDLE EAST. (SUPERNATURAL) 10. ISRAEL DIVIDED. 11. PALESTINIAN STATE ESTABLISHED. 12. THIRD TEMPLE BUILT. 13. TRUMP DOUBLE CROSSES ISRAEL. 14. TRUMP TURNS AGAINST SAINTS. 15. TRUMP OVERCOMES SAINTS. 16. TRUMP GIVEN AUTHORITY OVER EVERY TRIBE, TONGUE, AND NATION. 17. AMERICAN / BABYLONIAN APOCALYPSE. 18. RETURN OF CHRIST / FIRST RESURRECTION / RAPTURE.
THAT IS NOT PROPHECY… THE FOLLOWING IS PROPHETIC!
The Fall of Babylon
REVELATION 18:
1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice,
“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast. 3 For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
“Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; 5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed. 7 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning, since in her heart she says, ‘I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and mourning I shall never see.’ 8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day, death and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
9 And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. 10 They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,
“Alas! Alas! You great city, you mighty city, Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.”
11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.
14 “The fruit for which your soul longed has gone from you, and all your delicacies and your splendors are lost to you, never to be found again!”
15 The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! 17 For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste.”
And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning,
“What city was like the great city?”
19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,
“Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been laid waste. 20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!”
21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,
“So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more; 22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will be heard in you no more, and a craftsman of any craft will be found in you no more, and the sound of the mill will be heard in you no more, 23 and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth.”
While we draw closer and closer to the day of the AntiMessiah… a day when not taking the mark will lead to physical death, the Church continues to play games…
I believe that we are soon to see the American church as a persecuted church and our current church model replaced by something more like the current church model found in Communist China. We will grow in numbers and excel in righteousness; we will see sanctification at a level never before seen on this continent. At the same time, we will lose worldly comfort, buildings, and denominational distinctions.
Until and unless we are willing to accept the promise of Matthew 24:9, we will never see the promise of Matthew 24:14 fulfilled.
Somehow, God never gave me the desire or his permission to edit his Word. Separating verses I like, ripping them from context, exaggerating them, emphasizing them and making them say whatever I want them to say, while patently and intentionally leaving out the rest of the Bible, is something I cannot and will not do.
You can take a handful of Bible verses, rip them from context, make them say whatever you want them to say, and build a megachurch… You can become a millionaire… It has been done.
I could tell you that the Bible says that “Judas went and hung himself…” “Go thou and do likewise…” “and “what thou doest, do quickly!” Using those verses, I could out do Jim Jones and form my own suicide cult…
Those may be extremes but in regular churches, some near you, pastors preach biblically sound sermons every week but by choosing to preach only on the happy verses and ignore the rest of the Bible, they grow churches, fill offering plates, and send church members to a Devil’s Hell.
While God promises to care for his children, that is not the Gospel. Those promises apply equally to you and to the Christians suffering in a North Korean Reeducation Camp… If you take it beyond that, you make a great mistake and mislead believers. The same Jesus who made those promises promised that “they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.” In Philippians, Paul says, “my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Yes, but that must be understood in the light of Jesus’ words in Matthew 16, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?”
In first Timothy, Paul speaks of “people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain”. Paul says that people who see godliness as a means to financial gain have a corrupt mind and have been robbed of the truth… That aside, preachers, all over your town and mine, preach godliness as a means of financial gain almost every Sunday. If your goal is to gain members, build big buildings and fill offering plates… this is a good plan. If your goal is to snatch souls from the gates of Hell, see them saved, sanctified and on their way to Heaven; this is something you must never do!
In a society that believes that truth is whatever you think it is and that the worst sin a person could ever commit is to offend another person, the preaching of the Gospel is seen as the ultimate sin… How can you tell a person that they are wrong? If they believe that what they are doing is right, it is right… end of discussion. The mere idea that God might disapprove of rape, incest or murder is an offence of the first magnitude.
Whatever society may think, there is a God, He has an absolute standard, and He is Absolute Truth. The big problem seems to be that Christians assume all men know what sin is and what God disapproves of. In this, they are absolutely wrong. Fifty years ago, even the drunk in the alley knew right from wrong and was aware that he was a sinner; that is not true today. People honestly believe that abortion is good because it frees women from the burden of childbirth and childcare. More than that, they are convinced, to the depth of their being, that a baby is better dead than born as an unwanted child. Stealing is okay, as long as you do it through government or business and the money you steal helps to support your family or goes to a good cause. Most Christians doubt this but it is the truth; the average man on the street has no sense of right and wrong.
At the same time, society has cowed Christians and Pastors into remaining silent on many issues for fear of offending people. Somehow, in the Church of Jesus Christ, offending a non-Christian has become a sin. If by not offending, you mean not being offensive, that is good. The problem is that not offending now means never reading, quoting or preaching any Scripture that the world might consider offensive. Reading “Thou shalt not steal” might offend a thief, therefore, we had better not read, teach. or preach on the Ten Commandments!
But Scripture still demands repentance and repentance depends on the knowledge of truth and a full awareness of right and wrong. Truth and standards of right and wrong are absolute. They are promulgated by God in his Word. If the church does not preach the Word, no individual will repent or be saved and no Christian will have any idea of the standard to which they have been called. If you assume that they know, you assume too much.
“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” is a sermon written by an American preacher, Jonathan Edwards. He preached to his own congregation in Northampton, Massachusetts and again in Enfield, Connecticut on July 8, 1741. It was reported that he read this sermon in a monotone voice, yet the preaching of this sermon was the catalyst for the First Great Awakening, perhaps the greatest move of God ever in this nation.
Edward’s sermon, which is still taught in conservative seminaries around the world, contained ten “Considerations:
God may cast wicked men into Hell at any given moment.
The wicked deserve to be cast into Hell. Divine justice does not prevent God from destroying the wicked at any moment.
The wicked, at this moment, suffer under God’s condemnation to Hell.
The wicked, on earth—at this very moment—suffer a sample of the torments of Hell. The wicked must not think, simply because they are not physically in Hell, that God (in whose hand the wicked now reside) is not—at this very moment—as angry with them as he is with those he is now tormenting in Hell, and who—at this very moment—feel and bear the fierceness of his wrath.
At any moment God shall permit him, Satan stands ready to fall upon the wicked and seize them as his own.
If it were not for God’s restraints, there are, in the souls of wicked men, hellish principles reigning which, presently, would kindle and flame out into hellfire.
Simply because there are not visible means of death before them at any given moment, the wicked should not feel secure.
Simply because it is natural to care for oneself or to think that others may care for them, men should not think themselves safe from God’s wrath.
All that wicked men may do to save themselves from Hell’s pains shall afford them nothing if they continue to reject Christ.
God has never promised to save mankind from Hell, except for those contained in Christ through the covenant of Grace.
That sermon and those considerations stand as true today as they did in 1741.
If we would reach America and the world for Christ, we must overcome our fear of offending sinners. We need to rid the church of all vestiges of the Seeker Friendly heresy. You do not win sinners by behaving like, looking like, and acting like sinners. You do not win them by telling them stories centered on “I’m Okay, You’re Okay”. We win sinners and snatch souls from the Gates of Hell by preaching Gospel Truth.
If we preach the Gospel Truth, we will see the promise of Jesus fulfilled in our time and in our nation:
Matthew 24: 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
We will not see verse 14 fulfilled until we are willing to preach in a manner that makes tribulation, death and hate logical consequences of our actions.
IF YOU ARE NOT FACING REAL PERSECUTION AND KICKBACK FROM THE WORLD, YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!
Today I am going to tell you the truth… the cold, hard, ugly truth of Scripture and the Gospel. Today, I am going to speak the truth that scares the Devil out of preachers; the truth that no one dares to speak…
I had dental surgery on Friday:
Good News! For the first time in decades I have a mouth full of teeth!
Bad News! My face is swollen and bruised and I am in pain!
Knowing this was going to happen, I recorded the class as a video last Wednesday. This morning, pain and all, I went to Sunday School and played the video for the class. They loved it and I am certain that all of you will love it as well…
Talking about the wrath of a Holy and Righteous God and how that applies to America’s immediate future…
Today I am going to tell you the truth… the cold, hard, ugly truth of Scripture and the Gospel. Today, I am going to speak the truth that scares the Devil out of preachers; the truth that no one dares to speak…
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and why so many Christians are asking if the Ukraine’s Zelensky could be the Antichrist…
This is the Sunday School class from 03/20/22. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and why so many Christians are asking if the Ukraine’s Zelensky could be the Antichrist…
Never have we needed the Scriptures more. Never has the Church of Jesus Christ been so ignorant of the Scriptures…
Prophetic Convergence
David A. Rice, D.Div.
The four horsemen of the Apocalypse are riding. The white horse is here, the red horse is arriving, and the other two are in sight. It is Friday, March 18, 2022, and all of the signs Jesus commanded us to watch for are visible, solid and established. The war of Ezekiel thirty-eight and nine is clearly on the horizon. The King of the North is marching south towards Jerusalem, the Ukraine is just an inconvenient stop along the way. The prophets of old would have given anything to see that which we are observing in real time.
Those of God’s people who have chosen blindness, see nothing. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear are overwhelmed. Perhaps the most terrifying thing the sighted see is the confusion and terror in the eyes of those who have determined not to see. To hear Christians speak of how electing Republicans, and bringing Trump back to power will save America… Awful ignorance; the ignorance of those committed to finding proof texts to support vain imaginations.
Never have we needed the Scriptures more. Never has the Church of Jesus Christ been so ignorant of the Scriptures that sit unread, unlearned, and untaught; the Scriptures that would inform, warn, direct, guide and comfort.
No more do we read the Scriptures in context, praying that God will teach us what He wants us to know. Rather, Christians imagine a God who thinks as they would have him think and acts like they would have him act. Having determined that which they want to believe, they go to books written about the Scriptures, searching desperately for the odd verse or paragraph that, ripped from context and standing alone, seems to support their imaginary religion and describe their made up god…
If a Christian is frightened by the idea of the tribulation, he searches diligently for verses that speak of rescue and escape… It matters not what the subject matter of the Book or the chapter, it speaks of rescue and if I add that verse to the other verses I found in that magic devotional book, I can come up with enough happy verses about rescue to convince myself that the rapture must be pretrib. Please God, don’t let anybody quote Matthew 24 in my presence… If I am even aware of my sin, weakness and failure, I will look for a church that teaches Eternal Security, and I will gladly accept their collection of proof texts without question. If I cannot lose my salvation, I need not be bothered by or alter my lifestyle; after all, I walked the aisle, shook the preacher’s hand and got dunked in the baptistry… I am in like flint… Besides, this is the New Testament and God is no longer concerned about sexual perversion!
So, having collected enough assorted Bible verses to support my happy doctrine, I look out at the world and find that it is collapsing around me. I am amazed that my happy god has not explained this to me… Didn’t Jesus die to make me happy in Babylon? I thought that if I was a Christian and followed all the steps that preacher listed in that book my friend gave me that God would be forced to buy me a mansion on the hilltop. Aren’t I supposed to be living my best life now? Doesn’t God care how much money I sent to that guy on TV? I mean really!
Obviously, the answer is to bring back Donald Trump!!!
Let us forget all those silly peripheral doctrines they told us set our denomination apart and made us better than all those other Christians who didn’t believe the same silly peripheral doctrines that made the founding fathers of our denomination stomp out of one church in a huff, take half the members and go start a new and improved denomination… OUR denomination! Let us go back to the Word of God, forgetting all those silly devotional books and their “365 Happy Verses for a Happy Year”, and asking God Almighty, by his Holy Spirit, to teach us the truth and open our eyes to the world around us and help us to see the whole truth. There is a great peace that descends on one’s soul when God fills it with his Truth!
We sit on the eve of destruction. Our reward is in Heaven. I could care less what your church believes, Jesus said, “He who endures to the end shall be saved!” Take that and run with it! Don’t go to bed without reading a chapter or two or three, in context and asking God to open your eyes to the Truth.
Today’s suggested reading (It is relevant) is:
2 Chronicles 7 the whole chapter
Jeremiah 14 and 15, both chapters
Lamentations 2, the whole chapter.
Tomorrow, continue in the same books and then ask God to lead you to another book to read.
Be a Daniel. Read Daniel and see Daniel’s suffering and his courage… Go beyond the Lion’s Den!
Pray for pastors who will stand up to the Devil and preach the whole Word of God.
In Times Like These
Everybody is lying, the Covid Plandemic is dying, World War Three is looming, news stories are written and crafted to evoke terror in the minds of men, right is wrong, and wrong is right; my list could go on for two or three pages, but you know the world is messed up. Satan is winning, even as God himself told us he would. Yes, the Devil is cast into the Lake of Fire, but that is at least a thousand years from now. Meanwhile, there is a short time, at the end of the world where the Devil wins on this earth.
It is time to wake up from the dreams of the heretics. In Revelation, speaking of the Devil, God tells us that “he was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them. He was also given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.” Speaking of you and I, the End Time Saints, Jesus said, “they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.”
In that same passage in Matthew 24 Jesus says that at this time in history “many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.” He goes on to say “But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” I don’t know about you, but to me, enduring does not sound like a lot of fun.
Jesus goes on to say, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
While Jesus clearly says that the Elect will be gathered to him (raptured) “Immediately after the tribulation”, People still live in a dreamworld that, denying plain Scripture and the Words of Jesus himself, insist that we will be gathered before the Tribulation.
Speaking of this time, Revelation tells us that twenty five percent of the people on earth will die. Later, a third of the survivors are killed. Jesus tells us that “if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved.” He then continues, “But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.” These are tough times. The prognosis is that it will continue to get worse until Jesus comes. Meanwhile, half of the world’s population will die.
“But he who endures to the end shall be saved…”
Still, preachers preach of a victorious Church, a church that, through politics and war, subdues the world, makes the Noahide Laws the law of the earth and prepares the Kingdom of God on earth so that Jesus can return and rule the Kingdom they have created for him…
Never mind that the Bible teaches the persecution and suffering of the Saints…
If you believe the heresy preached everywhere, let me ask you why Paul did not simply rebuke the Devil, walk out of prison, quote the right verses and make God buy him a mansion on a hilltop?
God has promised to go through it with you, not to take you out of it.
You need to repent. You need to establish a very real and strong relationship with God. You must be in Christ and Christ must be in you. You must be certain that you are where God wants you to be, doing what God wants you to do. You must be prepared to face and endure unimaginable atrocities, and not lose your faith.
UNDERSTAND THIS: Not all suffering is of the Devil.
Peter tells us: Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And
“If the righteous is scarcely saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
Pray for pastors who will stand up to the Devil and preach the whole Word of God. Pray that they will prepare the sheep for the slaughter…
