Obviously the geopolitical situation in the world is now rapidly changing. I think this will continue, because the final stage setting before tribulation events begin to play out is underway. The stage setting will be followed by the rise in Europe of the little horn mentioned by Daniel and the riding of the four horsemen of Revelation. At that time, Gog will also expand its influence in the area of the old Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

Keep your eye on France. There is a Catholic right wing anti-immigrant anti-Islamic movement rising rapidly. Marine Le Pen of the National Front political party (now called the National Rally) may even win the spring 2022 presidential election. Even if she does not win, the movement is causing President Emmanuel Macron to move right on nationalistic issues. The majority in France are fed up with the Muslims and their failure to assimilate into the French culture. There are no go zones for non Muslims all around the major cities of France.<\/p>\n

I have been saying for over two decades that the migration of Muslims into Europe would bring about a civil war in the 2020’s, and that would also result in a war with the\u00a0 Islamic states that they came from. It now appears this will start in France. Many retired and active French military have recently said the same thing.<\/span> They ought to know. The military will become directly involved in any civil upheavals.<\/p>\n

The majority in Catholic France will not allow the Muslims to subvert their nation. They hate what these Muslims are doing to their nation. The rise of Catholic French nationalists makes sense in the end time geopolitical picture. The civil war and resulting war with Islam brings the rise of the little horn who grows exceeding great toward the south, east, and toward the Holy Land (Da 8:9). The south, would be North Africa. That is where most of the Muslims of France came from. The east, would be the Middle East nations.<\/p>\n

The Bible suggests that the little horn and future Antichrist is ridden in by the Harlot of Rome (Rev 17:3). In other words, the Vatican will support the creation of what the Bible identifies as the Beast Empire. Even so, once the Beast is fully established and the man leading it becomes supernatural. He turns against the Harlot woman that brought him to the dance (Rev 17:16).<\/p>\n

There is old Catholic prophecy (Catholic Prophecy – The Coming Chastisement, Tan Books, 1970<\/em>) that says a great Christian monarch will rise at a time of great strife in Europe and this king will restore order and Catholic rule until the time of the Antichrist. The Jesuit order was created and has been working all over the world for centuries to put the world back under the Pope. Keep in mind, that Catholicism believes that they have the only true God ordained religion. They believe their God given mandate is to rule the world in the place of Christ.<\/p>\n

There is nothing new under the sun. It only makes sense to me that the two great Abrahamic but apostate world religions would once again fight each other for control of the area of the Old Roman Empire. Islam will once again lose.<\/p>\n

America is becoming rapidly weakened by the communist coup that took over, so the timing for the rising of a new world order out of Europe seems most timely. After all, the Roman Empire is the final world empire mentioned by Daniel.<\/p>\n

Since the Roman Empire came into existence, Antichrist prototypes have always risen out of the area of the Roman Empire. It will not be any different when the next one rises.<\/p>\n

Many Bible prophecy watchers want to hear that the present conflict between Hamas and Israel will result in something that has prophetic significance. I do not think it does. I do not think this present conflict with Hamas is going to spread to include the Arab states, Iran or the Hezbollah faction of Lebanon. If that were to be the case, it probably already would have happened, but obviously Iran is not telling Hezbollah to attack Israel now.<\/p>\n

That is because Iran wants nuclear weapons. They do want a wider conflict upsetting that apple cart. The big winner of this conflict probably will be Benjamin Netanyahu. He will probably get to continue to run Israel. The conflict and the leftist disinformation is also sure to spread more hated and violence against the Jews around the world.<\/p>\n

In spite of what some “Bible prophecy” teachers are saying on the media, I do not see Psalm 83 taking place now, or see Gog coming down against Israel in the next couple of years. I think Gog will take over the area of much of the old Soviet Union before any invasion of Israel. When Europe breaks down into civil strife, the leader of Russia will see it as an opportunity to expand his influence over the whole region.<\/p>\n

The prophecy about Elam<\/a><\/strong> has fulfillment in what is now part of Iran, but the fulfillment requires a great coalition of nations coming against Elam. Iran and its nuclear weapons program could be the very reason the little horn expands toward the south and east with the help of the military of other western nations.<\/p>\n

If you old Bible prophecy students recall, the Gog invasion looked imminent at the time of the peak of the Soviet Union. End time events and the coming of the Lord at that time, was apparently delayed. NATO backed by America was used to hinder the Soviet plans. I think the next great build up led by Russia will even be greater than the former Soviet Union. Gog will fulfill the prophecy when he knows little stands in his way. That is why it will take direct involvement by God’s angels to stop the Gog invasion.<\/p>\n

Which leads me to UFO’s. It seems few on earth know why they exist and what they are. I think they will be involved in earth affairs in the end times. The world is ripe for deception. After the Rapture they will be part of the great deception.<\/p>\n

Even some of the most watched right wing “Christian” talking heads on the media think these UFO’s are advanced extra terrestrial or inter dimensional craft and contact with the beings flying them will result in a paradigm shift on earth. Unfortunately, most of the “Christian” talking heads on right wing media do not have a Christian worldview. They know little about what the Bible says, and they obviously were taught absolutely nothing about future Bible prophecy. They are wide open for deception.<\/p>\n

The recent cyber attack take down of the east coast gasoline pipeline should be a wake- up call to all Americans. Our infrastructure is very vulnerable. There will be more attacks. Next time it may even be our electrical grid. Those that operate our infrastructure apparently focus more on profit than security. That has to change in a hurry, or we could be in a world of hurt. Russia, China, Iran and North Korea have cyber capabilities that far exceed these cyber criminals doing it just for ransom money.<\/p>\n

I think Russia and China have the capabilities to take down much of our infrastructure whenever their cyber warfare people are given the go ahead. It is things like this that do not give me a lot of hope for America’s future. We now live in a glass house, but we keep throwing stones as if we are invulnerable. Things in the world have changed since the only threat to America was the USSR. We better make our own security the top priority. Those living in America today really do not want to have to experience how or why America was taken out of the prophetic geopolitical picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
