At the conclusion of this series detailing the final global empire coming upon the earth, we can see how nefarious and treacherous this final regime will really be. We can see how the foundations, already laid, are being strengthened by using crisis (after crisis) to implement an authoritarian, totalitarian system no one can stand against. To that point, it’s very easy to prove that these crises are artificial and intentionally designed to destroy the United States.
Medical crisis: global pandemic with 99% survival rate
Economic crisis: supply chain issues caused by government mandates and climate policies
Fiscal crisis: skyrocketing national debts due to unchecked government spending
Border crisis: Intentional weaponization of illegal immigration
Loss of Geopolitical Authority: Intentional sabotaging of US foreign policy
Drug Crisis: US refusal to deal with the root cause of drug crisis and legalization
Education Crisis: activist school boards, cultural marxism indoctrination
The reason these crises are intentional is due to the brilliant writing defensive (defending the citizen's rights) of our constitution, which stands in the way of allowing the manifestation for this final empire to arise. This is not to say we are the greatest nation and that we should vigorously pat ourselves on the back for being Americans. No, God is using us as designed to do His will. Thus, it should be no surprise that God ordained this to play out exactly as it has.
Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
For wisdom and might are His.
And He changes the times and the seasons;
He removes kings and raises up kings;
He gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those who have understanding.
Daniel 2:20-21
The Liberty Bell’s iron echo has fallen silent upon a complacent nation and the enemies of the American dream hover overhead like vultures circling a dying animal. They circle closer and closer to see for themselves if the sound of silence and smell of moral abandonment is real, or just some elaborate façade.
Can it be they ask?
Can the mighty have fallen?
Even just the thought of it is causing them to salivate profusely like Pavlov’s dogs. But unlike Pavlov’s dogs, instead of drooling at the sound of the bell, these dogs are salivating at the silencing of ‘freedom’s ring.’ The more free speech is muzzled, facts censored, and objective truth fading like the dying light of day at dusk, the more energized they become. The thought of bringing in their long-awaited new world order, within the decade, to them, is like Christmas in November.
The surprise is in how quickly and how easily the collapse of the world’s preeminent world superpower would come. The new world order they have been planning for so long is now within their grasp, and they can hardly contain themselves. The list of globalists waiting for this to happen is a long one: elected Democrats and establishment politicians, governors, mayors, city councils, etc.; unelected political organizations (e.g., Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, United Nation affiliates, etc.); hybrid organizations like the Bilderberg Group, Investment giants (Vanguard, Blackrock, etc.), federal-private banking cartels; and their useful idiot corporations and organizations like Twitter, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Coca-Cola, Goodyear Tires, NASCAR, Black Rifle Coffee, Delta, American Airlines, Disney, Marriot, the NBA, the NFL. In fact, there are so many other woke companies, you’d have to go full-Amish in order to successfully boycott them all.
Assessment
This new world order will ultimately divide itself into ten regional power structures with the prime regional power being centered on the Mediterranean and Europe. The global regional organizations will initially form a fascist and apartheid network that functions very similar to how the German Third Reich maintained control of Europe in WWII, i.e., through proxy, collaborationist, governments. Only this time, these regional powers will rely not just on local governments, but on private corporations who will use highly advanced information and surveillance systems already in place. When I say it will be fascist in nature, it will start out fascist, but will ultimately become an imperial power, who, all though does not segregate by race or skin color, will demand absolute loyalty to the Beast system itself.
“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. Daniel 7:7-8
Although initially inferior to the already established nation-states such as China and Russia, the Mediterranean region will quickly gain the military arsenal and soldiers needed after one final crisis completely upends the old global power structure. In fact, this event, the Rapture of the Church, will be so chaotic, it will change the geopolitical face of the earth forever. After it happens, America’s true enemies will quickly absorb the vast American military arsenal that has been strategically deployed around the world for decades. A recent example of this was the abandonment of nearly $90B worth of military equipment left in Afghanistan that the Taliban quickly took over. Once this happens, the Mediterranean/Europe region will repurpose NATO to become the monstrous defense force for this new Roman Empire.
We also looked at how Satan has spent an inordinate amount of time and energy focused on the area surrounding the ancient Roman Empire. According to Revelation 2:13, Satan had a throne located in the ancient city of Pergamos, which was located in what is today, modern Turkey.
“To the angel of the church in Pergamum write:
These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. I know where you live—where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives. Rev. 2:12-13 (emphasis mine)
If Satan’s throne is the Altar of Zeus (speculation here), then it was believed to have been built sometime between 181 to 159BC and was of the Attalid Dynasty (Ionian Greeks). From there, it would later be absorbed into the Roman Empire, and then, the Western Roman Empire, and would ultimately become part of the Byzantine Empire. It would remain under the Byzantines until 1453 when the Ottoman Turks came to power. It remained under the Ottoman’s until the mid-19th-century when the German Second Reich became interested in obtaining it. In 1878, the German and Ottoman governments came to an arrangement to move the throne stone by stone from Pergamos to Berlin, Germany where it still sits today.
Interestingly, given this throne's history and ties to the great and terrible empires of the past (Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, 2nd and 3rd Reich), this throne appears to have been a power-magnet of sorts for rising empires. (See also here). Not only that, but this throne, like so many others, was a place of worship. King Eumenes II originally built it as a tribute to Zeus, and Satan had to hide behind this Greek mythological identity for centuries until the altar fell into disrepair. Satan then hid behind the power of Islam (the Ottomans) and then hid behind the cult of personality with Adolph Hitler. When the Tribulation comes, Satan will hide no longer, but manifest in the person we know as The Antichrist, the rider on the white horse, lawless one, the man of sin, and son of perdition.
Clearly, we are not there yet. The geopolitical and economic things presented in this series are observations and theoretical deductions as best I can determine. At present, the US is still the dominant economic and military world power. The nations have not officially divided themselves into ten regional powers. The United Nations is presently, not in any position to exert its control or agendas in any meaningful way globally, and won’t until the US is taken out of the way. The US won’t be taken out of the way until the Rapture of the Church dismantles what’s left of the United States. The European Union’s (EU) military power projection as of today, is still in its embryonic stage. Nor will the EU be able to project any military power abroad, until the US collapses and they are able to absorb our vast military assets and personnel. So while the Rapture does not initiate the 70th Week (i.e., the seven-year Tribulation), it does open all the doors so to speak, for what follows.
Given the title of this series, I’m sure many who have not read the series would think I am saying the Antichrist will be some kind of German reincarnation of Adolph Hitler. While I believe Satan may have used the Third Reich as a dry run on what his coming man of sin will do, the Antichrist (whatever nationality he ends up being) will be far worse than Hitler. His government will start out as a totalitarian fascist network but will end up as an imperial power, where he (Antichrist) places himself as the object of worship like the caesars of old.
This time, God will only hinder Antichrist in two ways: 1) in what He allows the Antichrist to do to the Jews (only allowed to kill two-thirds), and 2) will limit his reign to no more than seven years. Still, a lot of damage can be done in seven years. Look at all the damage Hitler did in a similar amount of time (1939-45), even limited by the technology of the 1930s and 40s. This coming Antichrist will have several distinct advantages no other world tyrant before him ever had: supernatural intelligence, mastery of all languages, supernatural hindsight, advanced surveillance and information technologies, weapons of mass destruction, super artificial intelligence system, quantum technologies, and the full backing of the host of hell. He will seem invincible, for a time.
The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
Conclusion
I'm starting to see a lot more conservative pundits and influencers as of late, dismissing the blessed hope (Titus 2:13) as a form of defeatism or escapism. They so desperately want the world to go back to the way it was, and on a certain level, I can empathize with that sentiment. Nobody wants to live in an empire on the verge of collapse, and nobody said living in the last days would be easy. But the truth is, there is no going back. Those in power will never give up the “temporary” power that was granted to them in 2020. The level of acceptable authoritarianism (i.e., lockdowns, social distancing, masks, mandatory vaccines, etc.) by the general public was every bit as much a watershed a moment for globalists, as was the invention of the light bulb or the atomic bomb was for western civilization. There is simply no un-ringing that bell. Unfortunately, the new normal will be a world increasingly destabilized until one of two great resets happens.
The world’s version of the Great Reset will be the introduction to the global socialist utopia they think will fix the planet and cement their dominion. The Bible’s version of the great reset is the Rapture of the Church. Which will happen first, is anyone’s guess I suppose. However, we know the Church is removed from the earth before the Tribulation (i.e. Daniel’s 70th Week) and the fact we are already seeing everything lining up for what happens inside of the Tribulation means our deliverance is all the sooner.
The Rapture of the Church will happen according to Scripture and God's perfect timing, regardless of who is sitting in the White House. This will all happen not because of how you or I interpret the Bible, but because this is what the Bible clearly says will happen. You don't need a Th.D. from an esteemed seminary to know that the events in Revelation 4-22, have not happened yet. The only way to dismiss them as irrelevant to our day and age is to dismiss the Bible itself.
The days we are living in are dark, and getting darker...and that's no easy day. However uncomfortable it is now, it is momentary. As wicked as it is now, there is a time coming, which will be so horrifying, we would never wish it upon our worst enemies. The strong delusion will ultimately manifest itself into the appearing of the man of sin, the Antichrist, but only after our Blessed Hope manifests into the appearing of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Therefore, if we do not have the hope of salvation rooted into the God-Man Christ Jesus, then we have nothing. Even more so, if we do not have our future invested in the promise of His soon coming, then our faith will be tested in this wicked day and many will turn away. For many, their hope will fade like the dying light of the day.
And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:7-8
After the Rapture, God the Father will authorize the Son to initiate a series of increasingly terrifying judgments unleashed upon the earth to deal with this wickedness. Wave after wave of death, destruction, and misery will wrack and ruin this planet until the oceans and waters become blood, the lights go out, and the heat becomes unbearable. Then the Father will send His Son to wage total war against His enemies and claim His long-awaited inheritance; the nations, the world, and the universe.
But first, our great reset.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”
The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:50-58
Maranatha!
Pete, I've been a faithful reader of yours for years now. This series was truly inspired writing. Very scary times we live in, truly a bizarro world...however like you I'm so thankful for the Blessed Hope.
This is a good series and well written. Your opinion matches mine on how this will unfold. Its horrible watching it slowly unfold and our great nation slowly succumb to these demonic forces. We have to ride this out until Jesus comes.
Remarkable series. You may be speculating, but it is all so logical, that it makes sense. Thanks for filling in the blanks.
Pete, your writings have been an enormous blessing to me.
This has been an excellent series! Even though I feel like Lot at times, sorely vexed, I also realize I’m blessed to be living in the most amazing time. Thank you for your hard work and for helping me increase my knowledge of the Bible.
