Much of human history has unfolded in direct connection to the nation of Israel’s transgression against the Law. I challenge you to refute that idea in light of the testimony of scripture. If this is true then, what do we make of the Bible’s reference to the near total destruction of Israel?
Remember Israel’s sins and transgression? In ancient times, they caused the nation’s separation from the grace of God (YahUWeh) during the First and Second Temple periods. Biblical prophecy has a tendency to repeat itself until the promised events are brought to completion. So, as humanity continues to show signs of its progress toward the next apex of renewal, we must ask: What if America’s 45th president were indeed divinely designated, not for man’s purposes to become president of our nation, but to be used by God in bringing about his purposes on the earth?
Just as previous leaders of nations have been used for the fulfillment of God’s glory so that “the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of people” (Dan. 4:17). Might this also apply to the United States of America, Germany, Israel, Iran, Russia, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and China?
The Man of Sin, the Lawless One
President Trump, or any other political or religious figure, fulfilling their designated role definitely wouldn’t arrive on the world stage occupying a powerful position in a “shit hole country,” as the president called them.
Like the coming appearance of the False Messiah, he wouldn’t arrive for a prayer breakfast, or to conduct a religious sacrifice at a town hall meeting in Mar-a-Largo, Florida, and certainly not at the newly built US Embassy in Jerusalem.
Whatever the purpose was or ultimate outcome of his presence on the world stage, it has become obvious that President Trump lacks the dignity, foresight, morals, and compassion to serve as a president for all Americans and as a stable, cognitive leader for the free world.
When citizen Trump appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1988, the average citizen hadn’t yet heard of Donald J. Trump. At that time, he showed a seemingly sincere passion for making America great for all law-abiding citizens. However, it has now become obvious that his ploy was based on radical right-wing ideology of white supremacy.
Does Trump’s ideology have its roots in the historical colonial oppression of Blacks, rampant in American culture less than a hundred years ago because of the Jim Crow laws, which were based on racial inequality? Or does it spring from something more ancient and far-reaching? Those who can discern the knowledge readily available on the Internet can see that long before the twentieth century?
America’s progress was hijacked by Satan’s meddling in the affairs of humankind through idolatry, perversion of minds, delusion, and distractions on such a grand scale that it not only touched America’s consciousness but that of the global community as well. This poison derailed many of those who came as free people, slaves, and immigrants from troubled lands seeking a better future and a life of liberty and happiness.
What is certain is that the 45th president of the United States of America, though designated by Yeshua (God) to rule this nation for the glory of God and not man, has betrayed the trust of the American people. Equally disturbing is the fact that our elected officials seemingly support his agenda and rhetoric while allowing the degradation of global democracy. He, a sitting president who has become fixated on “repeal and replace,” has been leading domestic and foreign agendas toward greater degradation and a dangerous dark chapter in human history.
It is in light of this truth that I’ve observed that the election of President Donald J. Trump has recruited more faithful souls for God’s Church. I’ve looked to the following factors to guide me in discerning who this role player might actually be, this ruler with such negative character and seemingly self-serving labor of his foreign and domestic policies.
Additionally, the evidence of foreign and non-state actors interfering in America’s 2016 presidential election began to reveal themselves, from political insurgents inside our nation’s capital to foreign manipulators with deep connections to America’s government and public institutions.
Ultimately, America’s 45th president has steered the world into a period of disastrous diplomacy, conspiracies, and “alternative facts.” Intentionally going off script and being who he truly is, “President Trump has made 3,001 false or misleading claims …” and counting.25 Surely, this is not why YahUWeh decreed Donald. J. Trump to become president of the United States of America. Is God evil? No, of course not. What if, throughout human history, YahUWeh’s designs have been bringing about His purpose for the end of days? For what other reason would Donald J. Trump have been elected, especially in light of all the other more qualified candidates?
We’ve now reached a period in world history so unforeseen that it could become one of the most-watched movie series on Netflix. I hope this realization compels you to observe current events more intuitively, working to connect the dots for yourself from a spiritual perspective.
What if it’s possible that we modern humans have entered an alarming period of human civilization some call jubilee? The Book of Revelation contains Christ’s promise to return for His Church and grant remission of sins and punishment due to sin, finally putting an end to Satan and our carnal and material world and making all things new. All lawlessness and sin, including the current literal Jerusalem, will pass away, and a new Jerusalem, a holy city, will come down from God in heaven to be established on earth, and God will dwell with His chosen people. They will be ruled by Him, not by President Donald J. Trump, President Benjamin Netanyahu, or any other foreign leader or caliphate. What if the events unfolding in our century are indeed now ushering in the third phase of prophetic fulfillment in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation?
Mark of the Beast: 666
First let’s define the word mark and examine its connection to Revelation’s Mark of the Beast:
1. “limited in the amount of an activity” … for buying, selling, and trading?
2. “a small area on the surface of something that is … different in some way” … depicting a microchip implant?
3. “a typical feature that allows you to recognize someone or something” … such as an alliance with or allegiance to the False Messiah/Antichrist? Will Donald J. Trump, or someone else, have 666 imprinted on their forehead? What exactly is Trump’s hair treatment hiding (remember the movie Damien)? He too looks similar to Barron Trump, who has 18 letters in his name.26 The total characters in one’s name that equals to (6+6+6) eighteen. What if the count of 18 in the total characters of Melania, Baron, and their son-in-law, Jared Kushner’s business address (666), were harbingers of destruction and despair for America, a sign of the end of days?
The mark 666 has become the most enigmatic topic of current discussion, especially in the religious community. The most important approach in discerning who or what the Mark of the Beast will be, is to think differently from one’s traditional perspective—be that Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Jew, or Atheist—and pay attention to subtle signs arising in current news and world events.
Then maybe we’ll become able to garner enough collective resolve to identify what the Mark of the Beast might refer to and refuse to accept it when it’s required by the False Messiah. Many people have referred to the Mark of the Beast as the “history of interpretation concerning the correlation of a person with the number 666” that never materialized in ancient and modern times.27
Global concern over this infamous mark should grow, and people should become vigilant and watchful for the Mark of the Beast and for the False Messiah. Firstly, we must keep in mind the word beast in prophecy refers to/denotes a nation. Therefore, it is a nation, based on the current global structure, or a one-world government that will attempt to force this mark upon the inhabitants of the earth.
Let’s look at some possibilities:
1. A highly advanced microchip implanted under one’s skin<
br />
2. A delusion of acceptance to the False Messiah for a better world
3. A cryptocurrency finally sanctioned and made mandatory by a totalitarian government for the buying, selling, and trading of any goods and services.
Firstly, Microchip Technology Incorporated is an American company, founded in 1989, “an American manufacturer of micro controller, memory and analog semiconductors.”28 However, in “March 24, 1959 … Texas Instruments … introduced a new device that would change the world … of the 20th century—the solid integrated circuit, or, as it came to be called, the microchip.”29 Remember, we must factor Israel into every facet of world events to discern our human destiny. “Israel’s high-tech industries are a spin-off of … computer science and technology … in the USA … Up until that point, Israel’s economy had been essentially based on agriculture, mining and secondary sectors.”30 Essentially, technology of the West (Russia and America, two beasts of Revelation) brought other nations onboard, especially Israel, seeding the path toward RIF (radio infrared frequency) chip implants. What if “Requiring people who want groceries to have a food I.D. is a good start” under President Trump to usher in microchip implants in the United States. A possible pretense that the old system of buying and paying for goods and services is outdated—as well as banking and the social security identification system.
Secondly, humanity must be deluded into believing that advancements in modern technology can enhance everything from healthcare to tracking illegal immigrants and terrorists. Such a delusion aims to convince people that a barely noticeable microchip implant used for all buying, selling, and trading can create a world with a more stable economy and less crime. Microchip/Radio Infrared Frequency (RIF) implant technology has spread like the plague within the last five years and can now be used like a “credit card or badge to buy food at work.”31
In 2005, “a Georgia legislative committee recommended in February that the state ban employers from implanting microchips.”32 Thank God for a constitutional republic based on the divine principles of democratic institutions. Being eroded by the Lawless One (Donald J. Trump), America for now remains starkly different than China, which “announced the countrywide implementation of a new high-tech tracking initiative designed to ‘increase security and prosperity for all citizens of the People’s Republic of China.’ The plan … involves the implantation of long-range, high-frequency RFID devices in every one of China’s estimated 1.4 billion citizens.”33
How is this technology and those behind it methodically preparing the world for the False Messiah? “Many biohackers … identify with a broader movement known as transhumanism. Transhumanists … people … ultimately … able to transform themselves through the use of technology into superior beings”34 What if the False Messiah has already been equipped with this advanced technology? Once his time comes to appear on the world stage, he would be connected to a vast and centrally connected global network, enabling him to perform superhuman feats. “He did astounding miracles, even making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching” (Rev. 13:13, NLT).
And lastly, we must consider the growing popularity of blockchain/cryptocurrency, which I believe will become the global replacement for existing currencies. The term blockchain “developed from ‘chain of blocks’. Cryptocurrency is a sort-of portmanteau of ‘cryptographic currency’ … [the] difference between these concepts has to do with how distributed ledger technology is used” and with mandatory microchip RIF implants.35 This new method of currency would be easier for global control of the economy, among other uses the nefarious ones envision for humanity under the delusion of the False Messiah. What if all of these advancements in technology become controlled by a single humanlike Artificially Intelligent Being? What if nothing could move without the Mark of the Beast, or its approval?
Have We Affirmed Our Salvation before the Last Tick of the Doomsday Clock?
What if the Man of Sin, the Lawless One, and the Last False Messiah Are Already Here?
Are We now becoming Witness to Indicators of End of Days?
Which Beast of Revelation will set up the Abomination?
What if?

Chapter 8
Risen from the Ashes of Diaspora
Sin and Lawlessness
Throughout recorded history and global conflicts, it seems God’s wrath has always punished humanity for its mounting sins and lawlessness. This is especially true of His chosen people—from the tribe of Judah that went into exile into the land of Egypt —and of those who decided to remain in the law of Moses, instead of the law of Noah.
No man can understand the ways, methods, and purposes of the Lord—except by that which has been prophesied, commanded, and written—and definitely not from some scholarly discourse, as was practiced during the Second Temple period. Will humankind one day rise above the greatness of God through technology, science, and medicine?
Think of the story of the Tower of Babel. Are we modern humans so different? We think we’ve become so intelligent. But if it is difficult for science to understand the divine mechanisms behind the God particle, how much more impossible would it be to find God’s physical astronomical address. Now, does the scientific community really think “understanding the biology behind consciousness … is considered … the final frontier of science?”36 That’s obviously an attempt by the nefarious ones to understand how God functions.
Regardless how hard they try, twisting words like they have the answer, to create anything from nothing has been and always will be impossible for humans. Christ tried to open the eyes of the people of Israel so they—not scientific knowledge—would be a light and a witness of God’s divine nature to humanity. His teachings, and offer was not accepted. But, it has been foretold, he is returning with a vengeance against both Jews, and Gentiles for their sins and lawlessness.
What if the events of history, from the First Temple period through the wars of the twenty-first century, were God’s attempts—in the form of various punishments—to give His chosen people opportunit
ies to mend their ways? He tried to establish them, to live in peace and prosperity, so they could serve as a model for the Gentiles on the planet of His Design.
Maybe part of the UFO phenomena has been some Watcher Angels attempting contact with select humans as a warning to mend our ways and carry out the will of God through His spiritual laws and commands. But humans seem to always end up with their own idealized plan for humanity. Especially when the adversary, Satan, and his earthly alliances work against humanity’s spiritual awakening.
The scriptures chronicle how the Jews were continually disobedient in ancient times. That did not change when the Khazars and Ashkenazis converted to Judaism during the Middle Ages. And many are still disobedient to the Torah and the law of Moses to this day, as the final phase of ancient prophecy approaches fulfillment. The Bible states that they:
1. “Will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD drives … them” (Deut. 4:27, ESV). What if also driving them into Germany was a test? If so, it’s one they failed, returning back to their homeland with the Jewish Mafia of the Khazars and Ashkenazis. Did you just catch the ending of the name Ashkenazis: Nazis. Coincidence? Maybe. But it should also be obvious that a Jewish or Israelite Hebrew imposter has no biblical inheritance to the land of Israel, nor to Jerusalem. It’s amazing how these racist imposters, Nazis, have no problem killing a Jew or Gentile to accomplish their New World Order. We’ll come back to them again later.
The price of being one of the twelve tribes of Israel, let alone an imposter, is higher than being a Gentile under the law of Noah.
2. God would “cast their seed among the nations” even if it meant they would attempt to shove their ideology of society onto the Gentile nations (Ps. 106:27, NASB).
