Is Mystery Babylon Rome, Mecca or the US?

Mystery Babylon in Revelation. Who are the three main candidates?

Who, what or where is Mystery Babylon that was mentioned by St John the Divine in the Book of Revelation Prophecy nearly 2000 years ago? There are many candidates for the title of Mystery Babylon but the main three that come up time and time again and seem to stand the test of time are:

1. Rome, Italy and The Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church
2. Mecca, Saudi Arabia and Islam
3. New York or Washington DC or even maybe LA and/or the US/America.

There is a fourth which is quoted by many and that is Jerusalem and Israel, but this is not up for consideration at this time. The three that will be focused on are the three most consistently popular theories out there that are backed by scripture in various shapes or forms and to varying degrees. These three possiiblities for Mystery Babylon are very different animals indeed, that appear in vastly different locations and embracing totally different cultures. This is yet another topic that results in some extremely heated debate, but which one of these three is it and does the Book of Revelation scripture and Prophecy contain the key to narrow it down very clearly to just one candidate?


This article is a follow on from two previous articles that looked at Who or What Mystery Babylon is.The main body of the research is contained in the video from The Twelve Gates You Tube Channel which appears at the foot and end of this article.

Where Mystery Babylon appears in Scripture.
Mystery Babylon is mentioned in the Book of Revelation in Chapters 17 and 18 and the beginning of Chapter 19, so quite a large portion of Revelation Prophecy is tied up with this entity, which tends to suggest that it is of some significant importance in the Revelation timeline.

Who or What or Where is Mystery Babylon.
The scripture of Revelation makes it quite clear that Mystery Babylon is initially depicted as a woman in the form of a Harlot that rides "The Beast", and the Beast and this Harlot seem to be closely linked. The mention of Mystery Babylon and it's status as a woman is merely symbolic in the earlier stages of the relevant Chapters and is explained in greater detail as the scripture progresses. It is made quite clear that it is not a Woman or even a person, but a location and more to the point a city mentioned as a "Great City". It is also possibly an organisation, establishment or institution or something with religious connotations that is instantly recognised around the world.

The What is Mystery Babylon is the easy part of the puzzle to solve as it is mentioned quite clearly in Revelation Scripture but it is the What and Where is where things are not so clear and where the heated debate starts.

What is Mystery Babylon Bible Verses
These are the verses that clearly state WHAT Mystery Babylon is and a clue is given to where this entity is located. This city has dealings with many nations and the city is located on or near "Seven Mountains" which in some versions of the Bible is mentioned as "Seven Hills"

Rev 17.1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgement of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters

Rev 17.9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitteth.

Rev 17.15 And he saith unto me, The Waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues


What role does Mystery Babylon play in the End Times?
Mystery Babylon plays quite a significant role in End Times Prophecy as it has a devastating effect on Christians as mentioned in the following two verses

Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.


What are Christians advised to do with regard to Mystery Babylon?
It is made very clear above that Mystery Babylon is an adversary to Christians and "The Church" mentioned in the New Testament many times. So much so that anybody that is part of this Mystery Babylon in any shape or form are advised strongly to leave, otherwise you will be subjected to the same judgement as Mystery Babylon itself. This is a strong indicator that Mystery Babylon could be a False Church which would rule out Islam and Mecca as one of the candidates for Mystery Babylon. As is revealed in the video though, Mecca ticks many boxes in the prophecy contained in Revelation including some interesting cross references, so things are not so clear cut.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues

The video below from The Twelve Gates You Tube Channel doesn't claim to have the definitive answer, but it does attempt to make things clearer who this mysterious "Mystery Babylon" is? It really is narrowed down to just two candidates!

North Korea Latest Headlines

North Korea and the US and the WWIII situation?

The latest on what is happening with the North Korea (King Jom UN) and US (Trump) standoff and it's potential for World War 3. With Trump according to the media sending an Armada of warships to North Korea in response to the escalation of missile tests by the ruler of that country, things looked like they were Heading to a possible World War 3 event, the timing which would have been over the Easter weekend. With all eyes on the media and North Korea over the Easter period, the result has been an almost deafening silence from the media and anywhere else on North Korea.

Recent developments post Easter in the headlines seem to suggest that China seems to be finally acknowledging the seriousness of the potential situation and starting to take steps. Russia has been more pro-active and taking the appropriate actions in view of the escalating North Korea and US face off. Here are the latest headlines emerging over the past few days that shed some light on whether a World War 3 is in the pipeline and a brief explanation of that headline

The US Armada heading to North Korea?
Last week Donald Trump, the US president, said he had ordered an "armada" into the northwest Pacific in a show of force designed to deter North Korea from further missile and nuclear weapons test. The US defence ministry later acknowledged the ships had actually travelled into the Indian Ocean to carry out manoeuvres with Australian forces, and only began their journey north recently. Hence the quietness over Easter when the warships would have arrived.

The suspension of flights from China to North Korea
China's national airline, Air China, announced it was suspending flights from Beijing to the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, from late on Friday, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said. It did not say why the flights, which operate on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, were being suspended.

Russia starts to move military to it's borders with North Korea.
Russia has moved heavy military equipment towards its border with North Korea amid mounting fears of a military clash between Pyongyang and the United States over the North’s nuclear program. According to news sources Helicopters, Tanks and ground forces have been moved to the Russian Border with North Korea

The recent UN meeting
After a recent UN meeting, in a unanimous statement, the council demanded that North Korea "conduct no further nuclear tests" and said Pyongyang's "illegal missile activities" were "greatly increasing tension in the region and beyond".North Korea carried out a failed missile test on Sunday, a day after displaying missiles at a parade in Pyongyang. A warning that sanctions would be issued if further missile testing were to take place was issued by the UN counsel.

The recent statement from North Korea
The Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, said in an editorial on Thursday: "In the case of our super-mighty preemptive strike being launched, it will completely and immediately wipe out not only US imperialists' invasion forces in South Korea and its surrounding areas but the US mainland and reduce them to ashes,".

Here's the latest updates in the last 24 hours on the North Korea and US situation and headlines that possibly clarify what is going on with North Korea and a potential World War 3 flare up.

There is mention from numerous sources that 25 April 2017 would be the strongest possibility of a new missile test and flash point.

The US and North Korea conflict in Prophecy terms
What started out as a potential situation between the US and North Korea has, as anticipated escalated, sucking in other countries including the two major Super powers of China and Russia. The question that is raised is will China and Russia who are neighbouring nations that have recently forged ties be willing to support a US strike on North Korea when the US relations with both China and Russia are not exactly on the friendliest of terms? As mentioned in a previous US and North Korea article this situation in prophecy terms would tie in very closely with the Prophecy mentioned in the Book of Revelation especially the Second Seal of Revelation known as the Second Horseman of the Apocalypse

Bible Quote:

Revelation 6:3-4
3. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

The possible US and North Korea War and Bible Prophecy?

Trump and King Jom Un and World War 3?

Over the weekend it was announced that the US had sent a number of navy warships to North Korea in connection with the recent missile launches that have been taking place clearly in violation of International Law. That tweet was put out with a link to the relevant story with some concern. At the time, this recently followed just days previously a missile strike on Syria by Trump following the recent chemical weapons attack that killed 100 people.

This article will quickly look at this rapidly evolving North Korea situation (see previous article for Syria and Bible Prophecy) to see what the general situation is, whether it is of concern and whether this is mentioned anywhere in Bible Prophecy?

The recent headlines from the media are stating the following These are some samples from all the mainstream UK papers

1. The Guardian: North Korea 'ready for war' after US redeploys navy strike team

2. The Telegraph: North Korea vows to respond to US Navy's 'reckless' show of force

3. The FT: US carrier’s Korea mission: a message to the world


Other Media Stories

1. New York Times: Move of US Warships Shows Trump Has Few Options on North Korea

2. Newsweek: North Korea Says it Is 'Ready for War' After US Reroutes Warships

3. Huffington Post: What You Need To Know About North Korea's Nuclear Program


Obviously this situation is of concern. The intention by the Trump and the US is to curb further missile testing in North Korea by King Jom Un which the surrounding nations have failed to achieve or are simply ignoring, hoping the problem will go away. This is exactly how the Second World War started, when action was finally taken..... it was too late. The US is taking these steps more in the name of peace. The problem again with the tactics being employed here by the US is yet again a "fighting fire with fire" mentality which has the potential to go beyond Sabre rattling and launching us unwittingly into a possible World War 3 scenario. At present this move doesn't seem to have any backing from neighbouring nations in the Asia Pacific, or even allies that backed the Syria attack, but these are early days.

Is this mentioned in Bible Prophecy?
Most if not all of Bible Prophecy revolves around the Middle East particularly Israel and more to the point Jerusalem, with the two most relevant being the Battle of Gog Magog and Armageddon (some say these are one and the same). Hence the interest in the Syria attack which is a neighbouring nation to Israel. BUT there is a mention of some sort of war before these major battles take place, which is mentioned in the Second Horseman of the Apocalypse which is the Second Seal of Revelation.

Revelation 6:3-4
3. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Some say this Second Seal has been opened. some say this seal has yet to be opened. Some say that none of the seals have been opened at all. I personally think quite strongly otherwise, but I could be wrong. A recent video which features over at The Twelve Gates You Tube Channel called WWW iii & The Second Seal of Revelation Prophecy made some weeks ago, gives my views on whether this Second Seal actually has been opened, what it means in our current times and most importantly........ has this seal been opened.

Summary.
It is too early to say what will happen with the US and North Korea, the US simply outclasses North Korea in technological military terms if a war was to emerge, although in number terms North Korea have a surprisingly massive army. Despite their military might however, the US must not forget what happened in Vietnam and also David and Goliath in the Bible also springs to mind!

Looking at a map of the Pacific Ocean raises another problem that is close to hand in that area, that is the South China Seas. Any action with North Korea could cause a possible flare up situation there, with a much larger and far more formidable opponent, namely China which the US has not had favourable encounters with recently. This was also mentioned in another video called China and Bible Prophecy who again are mentioned indirectly as stated in the video in the Book of Revelation and the Prophecy it contains.

The US Missile Strike on Syria. The Bible Prophecy Angle?

US Missile Strike on Syria and it's Prophecy implications

A look at the recent headline concerning the US missile Strike on Syria and destroying an Syrian military airbase in response to  the recent Chemical Weapons attack on it's own people killing at the time of writing around 100 people.

This article will take a closer look at this recent headline that emerged literally hours ago which is still developing, with further details emerging as we speak and will also look at this news headline from a Bible Prophecy perspective to see whether Iran is mentioned in Bible Prophecy and the role it has to play in the End Times if any.

Firstly the headline itself here's what is known so far.

The US has for the first time since the civil war began, targeting an airbase from where the US said this week’s chemical weapons attack on civilians was launched by Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

Here’s what we know so far according to The Guardian UK
1. The airstrikes targeted al-Shayrat airbase near Homs. The US has said this is the location from where Syrian forces launched a sarin nerve gas attack on the rebel-held town of on Tuesday morning.
2. The Pentagon said 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from the warships USS Ross and Porter in the eastern Mediterranean in the early hours of Friday morning, Syria time.
3. The Syrian military said six people were killed and several wounded in the strike.
4. Officials said senior officers had evacuated the base before the airstrikes happened.
5. Russia, a Syrian ally that has been helping the Assad regime target rebel-held districts, condemned the US action.
6. Russia said Donald Trump’s move would have consequences for the relationship between the two countries.
7. The Pentagon confirmed that Russia had been told in advance of the strike through military channels?
8. The move was supported by key US allies, including the UK, Australia, Israel and Saudia Arabia.
9. Iran said it “strongly condemned” the strikes, as it condemned “all unilateral military action”. It said the action was taken under the “pretext” of the chemical strike.

Further details from the full article at The Guardian US Airstrikes on Syria Donald Trump What we know so far https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/07/us-airstrikes-on-syria-donald-trump-what-we-know-so-far

Implications of this airstrike.
1. As mentioned above this  further drives a wedge between the US and Russia potentially souring relations even further which were not strained at best under the previous US Administration
2. Oil Prices have risen at about 2% but news sources state that oil supplies in the Middle East are robust so no massive rises in oil prices are anticipated at present
3. The World War 3 card has been pulled out again. It raises the prospect of such a scenario to a heightened level and could inflame tensions with neighbouring countries within the Middle East.
4. The result looks to be a hardening solidarity of Iran with Syria as a result of this airstrike
5. Syria has a very close proximity to Israel

Views on this US Missile Strike on Iran


1. The process that the US President employed to launch such an attack leap frogging the democratic decision process was in violation of the US constitution and raises alarm bells that the same tactics could be used for initiating a nuclear attack on any nation. Under current law the US President can launch a military response to a terrorist threat within the US but outside of the US is questionable.

Rand Paul a Kentucky Republican said this:
"The President needs congressional authorization for military action as required by the Constitution, and I call on him to come to Congress for a proper debate. Our prior interventions in this region have done nothing to make us safer, and Syria will be no different,"

2. The chemical attack in Syria was a terrible thing, but fighting fire with fire is not really the answer especially in these politically sensitive and unstable times and the tinderbox situation that exists in the Middle East which has been so for some time.

3. True Christian believers in such a position would have taken a different approach to the actions that were taken by the current US President who claims he is a Christian. Maybe going down some sort of constructive talks and if that failed an economic sanctions route rather than potentially initiating a World War 3 situation which in all honesty the US cannot afford to enter into with a near $20 Trillion debt pile showing no signs of waning http://usdebtclock.org

4.  As a result of this attack Iran has shown solidarity with Syria on this matter, other nations in the Middle East may follow the same route and further inflame an already volatile situation.

Is this news headline prophetic in nature and is Syria and Iran mentioned in Bible Prophecy?

1. Syria
With this recent headline we draw ever closer to the Prophecy mentioned by Isaiah in the Old Testament being fulfilled. Damascus which is the capital of Syria which  since it's very beginning has always been inhabited, would become a "ruinous heap" according to the words of the Major Prophet Isaiah. At present there has been massive destruction in Damascus and it is close to that statement, but that prophecy has yet to be fulfilled in totality as it is still inhabited. The current war in Syria and certainly these recent events could take us one step closer to the words of Isaiah and the "burden of Damascus" being fulfilled.

Isaiah 17:1

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

2. Iran
With the recent US missile attack headlines showing backing from US allies Saudi Arabia, UK, Israel and Australia but receiving condemnation from Russia and especially Iran who is now showing increasing solidarity with Syria, where does Iran stand in Bible Prophecy?

Iran formerly known as Persia is mentioned in End Times Prophecy Iran’s involvement in the end times will be as one of the nations involved in the battle of , which is mentioned by the Prophet Ezekiel in the Old Testament in which specifically mentions Persia as an ally of Russia. Other nations that would form and be involved in this coalition will be Sudan, Turkey, Libya, and others. This massive coalition army is predicted,  will come against Israel, which at the time will be a peaceful nation and the prophecy states they will fail because they will be defeated by The Lord mentioned in Ezekiel 38:2

Ezekiel 38:2-11
2. Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

3. And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

4. And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

5. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

6. Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

7. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

8. After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

9. Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

10. Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:

11. And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

Conclusions:

Today's headline was a monumental one not only for the media but also for Bible Prophecy as well, and is just further confirmation that we are in The Last Days mentioned in the Bible. As I always say, keep your eyes on the Middle East especially Isreal and Jerusalem and the bordering countries. Keep an eye on any developments and breaking headlines, but without a doubt we are in those Biblical times mentioned all those thousands of years ago by those Great Prophets Ezekiel and Isaiah.

When Damascus does finally fall and become a totally uninhabited pile of rubble, you will know the Biblical Prophecy events that follow will not be far behind. We are without a shadow of a doubt, that generation that will witness these events.

How to recognise the Anti Christ (The Beast) according to Scripture

Who is the Anti Christ. What does the Bible say?

This is Part 2 and a follow on to a recent article entitled "Who is the Beast (Anti Christ) of Revelation. Characteristics and Possibilities".


This article goes into more detail based on scripture, on what the personal characteristics of the AC or The Beast mentioned in Revelation 13 will be. It will be in two parts. The first part will be what scripture says about the Anti Christ and a few views thrown in from myself to ponder over. The second part will be applying these scriptural characteristics to the 45th President of the US to see how he scrubs up and also see how many boxes he ticks. This is a Form Your Own Opinion article (FYOP).

With the 44th President of the US now out of office ( I don't think we have heard the last of him) and the 45th President now in office just a matter of days, the question that is going to arise will be, is the new President possibly the Beast mentioned in Revelation 13? This is starting to appear especially on You Tube with numerous reasons stating that this, 45th President is in fact the very same. Some backed by patchy scripture and most just merely speculation with no scripture whatsoever. Hence this article to arm you with the facts that appear not only in the New Testament and especially The Book of Revelation but the Old Testament as well.

The Rider on the White Horse Seal No One in Revelation.
Most Bible Scholars are in agreement that the White Horse mentioned in Revelation 6, which is part of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse and the First Seal that is opened is in fact The Anti Christ.

Revelation 6:2
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Has the second seal been opened. Some say it has, some say it hasn't or even none have been opened. I think it has been opened, he is here now, but not publicly revealed yet. That's just my opinion. Check the masses of scripture below and FYOP.

This article will look in more depth at who this mysterious character that rides the White Horse is, his identifiers and characteristics, what his morals and ethics are, what power and roles he will have on the global stage, what he will do and what his many names are mentioned in the Bible,

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

Rev. 19:20. He will be cast alive into a lake of fire and brimstone
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
Daniel 9:27 . . . He will make a 7 year Covenant which will be broken half way though (3.5 years) and cause sacrifices and oblations to cease (Israel)
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

8:11 . . . He shall take away the daily sacrifice.
Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

11:41 . . . He enters into the glorious land.
He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.


EXTRA
These are just extra details that COULD be who the Anti Christ can be identified by. Not backed by scripture just my views on my Bible study travels, form your own opinion. (FYOP). Just some of many thousands of views out there!

1. If he is a counterfeit version of Jesus as detailed in the scripture and is something along the lines of Matthew 24:24 only he will be THE False Christ

Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; in so much that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

My estimate to achieve this ability "to deceive the very elect" his age would have to be around 30-33 years of age probably more 33 which is the age that Jesus died. He will be very difficult to distinguish from the real thing and will be capable of doing many things that Jesus did and will initially come in peace and have all the answers to the worlds problems.

2. He would have uncertain parentage on one or both sides just like Jesus who's mother was Mary and who's stepfather was Joseph and was produced by The Holy Spirit. This one will have a similar background but obviously not produced by anything Holy in nature...quite the reverse. Maybe the result of some Lab Experiment. A birth certificate for this person would be an issue?

3. This individual would have no ID or a fake ID and would not show up on any systems such as Banks, National ID, Tax or similar. He would not be a member of any recognised religious institution or even an underground institution or society unless he was the head of it. He would possibly be nomadic in nature (just like Jesus was) and very hard to trace.

4. To achieve this level of cunning and deceit this person would have a far superior brain power to any world leader we have at present or have ever seen before. He may also be multi lingual and understand many customs and languages to achieve this world acceptance overnight.

5. This man is not interested in women but is more focused on power. Probably will not be married or in any form of relationship. Dan 11:3

6. He will most likely come to prominence as a political leader or military leader or both. He will have the answers to all the worlds problems not just one country. Daniel 11:38-39

7. Because he exalts himself over everything including the Gods he will be extremely arrogant in nature. He will also be ruthless in nature but behind the scenes not in the public spotlight until the latter stages Dan 8:23

8. The key component to identifying him will be the 7 year peace agreement with Israel which will be broken half way through (3.5 years) as mentioned in Daniel 9:27. The 3rd temple some say is the key component, others say it is not required.

9. This figure is primarily all about Globalisation and bringing in the Beast System one world, one currency, one religion, one Government, one ID system and killing off and marginalising Christianity


APPLYING ALL THIS TO THE 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE US.

The 45th President just like the 44th ticks a lot of boxes on the Prophecy front. His win apparently was in the Torah Code...... but does that mean he is the AC of Revelation?

The AC Yes Camp
He is prominent political leader. CHECK.
He is interested in having a prominent military presence in the world CHECK.
He is arrogant, charismatic and the rest CHECK.
He is interested in placing the US Embassy in Israel. Nothing else mentioned yet but he does seem to be Israel focused. CHECK.

His claim to Christianity and being Protestant has been much publicised, but when pushed for answers to certain questions about his Christian faith, some things come up short

Donald Trump on God and Forgiveness Video


If you are a Christian you ask God for forgiveness it's called Repentance. You are also Forgiving. It's the core of the Christian faith. It is a very easy question to answer. You don't have to think for a second on how to answer that one. He goes on to say he sorts out his own problems and the "wine and wafer" seems to work fine. Again open to much debate, and seems to keep God and Jesus out of the equation relying on himself and and the institution to sort out problems.

He has an entourage of Spiritual Advisers and his most prominent is Paula White of which I wrote a truck load in an article. Check out more here

He is a Church goer?. Yes he is, doesn't mean a thing. All the prominent world leaders are church goers, May, Merkel, Putin and and on and on. I don't think his Christian faith is fooling hardcore believers, but he is new and at least he is stepping in the right direction of sorts??? or is it just a front????

The military might build up to rival China does have an Armageddon or Apocalypse ring to it for sure, it remains to be seen how this will be funded with a near 20 Trillion debt pile that threatens to swamp the US if left to escalate higher.

The NEW President has described negotiating peace between Israel and the Palestinians as the “ultimate deal.” It is possible that some form of agreement between Israel and the Palestinians will be part of the end-times’ 7-year peace covenant???

Blasphemous? Not much evidence yet ,but it's still early days. The above with regards to Christianity could be taken as mild blasphemy.


The AC NO Camp
First off he is 70 yeas old, 71 in June.
Does he have a birth certificate YES .
Uncertain or mysterious parentage. NO both human!
Not interested in Women? Very interested in women as the presidential campaign revealed and is married with children.
Dubious ID and nomadic lifestyle. Has run a succesful high profile business that requires many forms of ID especially TAX and has a fixed abode. There are no mysteries here. Even his private life is not a mystery, all the skeletons in the cupboard were revealed?

Some say he is a member of The Freemasons, others say he is not. Whether he is or not is immaterial. 1/3 of US Presidents were members of the Masonic Society, the founding fathers were members, check the one dollar bills for Masonic symbolism "The Eye of Providence" or the "All Seeing Eye"

He is about building walls and anti globalisation and bringing back America to it's old school values, or so he says. Whether all this will happen remains to be seen.

The Pope is not keen on him, at least that is the mainstream media presentation. Whether that remains the case is something that time will tell and again is something to keep an eye on.

Summary
The AC will be an extremely popular, charismatic, charming and deceitful and powerful character that will have all the answers to the worlds problems, will fool many including lukewarm Christians and even hardened Christians, will rise to global prominence from absolutely nowhere and will be capable of signs, wonders and miracles at the click of a finger just like Jesus. Notably he will come in Peace but his plans will be chaos. He will have people worshipping him en masse thinking he is the "Return of the Messiah". Apply this to the mass riots across the US and riots outside the Inauguration and we have a picture about as far removed as you can get from that scenario.

BUT it's still early days, he could be, maybe not, maybe the previous one was and again maybe not, but as I always say you need to watch developments in Israel and more to the point Jerusalem and there you will find your answers and fulfillment of Bible Prophecy. Personally I have one eye still on the 44th President and one eye on the current 45th.

On a final note YES and NO camp aside, a Tweet I retweeted the other day in reality does sum up the current state of affairs and illustrates just as with BREXIT and the recent High Court ruling, it really doesn't make the slightest bit of difference who is in office, the route will change (policies) but the ultimate destination is exactly the same.

NEW BOSS 45th President Republican
OLD BOSS 44th President Democrat

STILL SAME PEOPLE SAME OWNERS
The 1% World Elite still run the show regardless of who is in power.

What's happening at The Twelve Gates regarding the US Inauguration Day News?

The Twelve Gates will be keeping an eye out for any developments as always especially today Friday 20 January 2017, till late in the evening and also on Saturday and Sunday. Will be looking for more in the way of Prophetic happenings rather than the actual event itself, as this is not a news or political website.

If nothing happens, then nothing will be mentioned. Check the thousands of media sources (mainstream and alternative) for in depth information and coverage, as The Twelve Gates will not be covering the actual event itself. Just saying!

Am I expecting anything to happen? There is a lot of hype surrounding this event, as you would expect, but as I always say "see what comes out in the wash" before jumping to any conclusions. Check a previous article called Thoughts on the US Presidential Inauguration 20 January 2017 written a couple of days ago.


Keep an eye on The Twelve Gates Twitter @ThatFJ That is where any developments or announcements will be mentioned. There will be no blog posts over the weekend as usual, any major development outside of the actual event itself, will be released in article form next week again if nothing prophetic happens (beyond things like demonstratons) then no article.

Keep an eye on Dahboo7, an alternative underground world news guru who is actually there now in DC. He tells it how it really is. He is right in the thick of it filming what is going on (protests have already started) on Twitter @Dahboo7 and also I think maybe LIVE at You Tube

Thoughts on The US Presidential Inauguration 20 January 2017

The US Presidential Inauguration on 20 January 2017

Out with the old and in with the new, could have been the title of this article. This is just some random thoughts on the date 20 January 2017 and the US Presidential Inauguration Ceremony, just days away. The world is watching and views and theories abound on what is going to happen on this day. Will it be a straight forward Inauguration the same as any other with masses of celebrations or will it be a turning point in US history for better or worse?

This will be a look at what could happen on the day, what may not happen on the day, what the future holds in prophetic terms, what the public think, what the worlds elite (1%) think and a quick look at the incoming president and the outgoing president and the rumours surrounding these characters in the mainstream media and alternative media.

No names mentioned here the former President will merely be referred to as the "Outgoing President" and the President Elect will be referred to as the "Incoming President". I don't get involved with the politics, just more interested in the Biblical and Prophetic angle. All sorts of sources here from the strange, conspiracy, main stream and alternative news and much more.

Here´s a few things floating around on social media and elsewhere online via the various news outlets large and small that have a remotely Prophetic ring to them.

1. Heightened security at Washington DC. Unprecedented security levels implemented in view of what has been happening around the country since the Presidential Results came out. More details at Dahboo7 at You Tube

2. Anticipated demonstrations and possible riots again in Washington DC and maybe nationwide during and after the Inauguration
More details via Dahboo7 at You Tube

3. John F Kennedy Scenario? A bolt out of the blue thought that came into my mind the other day for some reason and that is John F Kennedy. An alternative news website confirmed the same idea and has revealed some confirmation which got retweeted at The Twelve Gates Twitter this morning. Further details at Activist Post. It´s a remote prospect but it is a prospect none the less.

4. Mention of a possible US Embassy in Israel when the Incoming President comes into power, which has the potential to cause a Middle East flare up with the Palestinians and potentially across the Middle East

5. Many Musical performers/artists have declined to perform/sing at the Presidential Inauguration on 20 January 2017. Here´s a list of some of the names ELTON JOHN, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, BRUNO MARS, and KATY PERRY, GARTH BROOKS, ANDREA BOCELLI, KISS, CELINE DION, DAVID FOSTER, WASHINGTON, D.C.-AREA HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BANDS??, KANYE WEST, Further details on this at an article at the Daily Beast

6. The incoming Presidents stance on the Military. He is looking to increase the presence of the US Military to something like the Military of China which would amount to a huge investment and also question marks over any form of world peace. Many say he represents the very makings of Armageddon or The Apocalypse, but on the other side of the coin Putin the Russian President seems to be happy with the incoming President so tensions on paper have been reduced there and we need to wait and see what comes out in the wash before jumping to any conclusions.

Get more at The Military Times


7. The Elite 1% and associated media as in the I word and the F Word (those in the know will know what I'm hinting at here) and The Liberals are not happy with this incoming President at all. Globalisation plans have taken a nose dive and wall building looks to be the new fashion confirmed by BREXIT, so these are potential incredibly strong headwinds to overcome, although the Republicans control the Senate so the headwinds the outgoing President faced and difficulties in getting anything passed (hence the Executive Orders) has been removed for this Incoming President, but it will still be testing times in the initial stages of his Presidency.

The list goes on and on but the change in the US will be a shocker not only to those in the US but those watching globally as well.

The Outgoing President and Bible Prophecy
Many have stated that the outgoing President is the Beast mentioned in Revelation, and you could say he fits the bill in some ways, but with his presidency now literally down to days and hours, it´s looking increasingly unlikely that he is, or even ever was, but time will tell. Yes, he has done many things that are "Anti Christ" but whether he actually is THE Anti Christ......that´s a whole different proposition, in my humble opinion he doesn't fit the bill and scripture doesn't back it up 100% either. Have written an extensive article on the possibilities on who The Beast could actually be.........just views, but as stated backed up by a lot of scripture.

Many rumours are flying around, that things are going on quietly behind the scenes with executive orders being signed left right and centre by the Outgoing President which cannot be altered before the outgoing President goes??, amongst others. It remains to be seen whether this is the case. Also what is the permanency of an Executive Order from a previous President?, if the New President decides to alter or remove them. History says they can be changed, but it takes time, and is not a walk in the park. Again all this remains to be seen. This is what CNN had to say on the matter

"The easiest kind to roll-back is executive orders. Those merely require an executive order to take them back, and in fact Trump could issue a blanket order that rolls back every executive order Obama signed on the first day of his presidency, if he wanted to. He could also order every agency to begin a process of replacing the rules of the previous administration."

That´s coming from the mainstream media (full article CNN), who are not that keen on the Incoming President at all. In theory it should be easy, but in practice going through all the layers of red tape and administration could take years, but in theory it can be done. More on that from WBN


Finally if the outgoing President is in fact what is mentioned in Revelation 13? and Daniel 9:25-27? as mentioned before in a recent article then we would need to see something pretty dramatic in the very NEAR future, which would amount to a "revealing" in one of the following ways.

1. Something happens to Trump on the day of Inauguration or before or even after.
2. The outgoing President refuses to leave the White House???? Watch this video that sheds some interesting light on the topic. I literally have put the link here as I personally don't watch this stuff anymore, so this video has not been vetted. Viewer beware
3. The outgoing President leaves, but news surfaces in the NEAR future that he has become the first PERMANENT head of the UN??

These and many other situations would flush him out, but we are down to a very short period of time to see this materialise. I haven't written him off, but I just don't think he is the AC.

The Incoming President and Bible Prophecy
There are many theories and prophecies stating that the Incoming President is a Saviour for the US, or otherwise. Here''s three theories and prophecies that are floating around at present.

The Isaiah 45 Prophecy?
According to Charisma Mag, a certain Lance Wallnau believes God is raising up Donald Trump like he did King Cyrus in Isaiah 45. Apparently

"he saw a meme on Facebook showing Trump as the nation's 45th president. About the same time, he felt the Lord tell him to read Isaiah 45, which says King Cyrus who is called the Lord's "anointed" and later in the chapter says, "I have even called you by your name ... though you have not known Me."
Here is the relevant Chapter and Verses straight from the Bible

Isaiah 45:1&4
1. Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut
4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

Get more on that at Charisma News



Bible Code Prophecy
I'm personally not a huge fan of Bible Codes, but many of the Jewish Faith are aware of another dimension in the Bible, a sort of third dimension. In the right hands (as in Jewish) and if you know what you are doing , such as in the case of a knowledgeable Rabbi, then these Bible Codes do produce some interesting results that are intended for the right eyes and minds to receive such information. In the wrong hands, I would say you will fry your brain and are dabbling in the occult, and they should be avoided, especially if you are in the Christian faith.

This video was published on July 6 2016, way before the election featuring a Bible Code table from the Book of Deuteronomy from the Old Testament, that was researched by Rabbi Glazerson. See the short video The Trump Election Win in Bible Codes by Rabbi Glazerson


Is the incoming President the Anti Christ?
The new AC rumours on the block are that the New Incoming President is the AC, as time has basically run out (literally down to days) for the last President unless those things mentioned earlier actually materialise. Here´s some views from Prophecy Proof that go into some detail why the Incoming President cannot be the Anti Christ. Where do I stand on this. I agree with Prophecy Proof but you just never know in these deceptive last days.


Finally I will leave you with this one famous Bible quote which in reality has nothing to do with the President Elect but more with a musical instrument, not the name of a person. I think it is about as close (tongue in cheek) as you are going to get with the Incoming President being mentioned in the Bible and it goes like this.

1-Corinthians-15-52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

As I always say. Form your own opinion? but some interesting days are just around the corner and myself and of course the rest of the world are watching!

Mystery Babylon revealed and Revelation 18 Fulfilled??

Has Mystery Babylon been revealed?

Mystery Babylon has revealed itself and Revelation 18 has just been fulfilled? But has it? This is a closer look at a very interesting video that I spotted just before Christmas which was left on the side to become an article for the New Year and it is an eye opener. This is part of a new way forward for this website, not just putting out my views and opinions but also taking a look at other reasonably feasible theories from elsewhere that are backed up by scripture.

The topic of Mystery Babylon was covered in a previous article and there are many theories on what Mystery Babylon actually is. The main front runners are
1. New York (or Washington DC) and America
2. The Roman Catholic Church, Vatican and Rome, Italy
3. Mecca and Saudi Arabia and Islam.

Each theory has a solid backing in terms of views and opinions and numbers of people and as I stated in order of likelihood I personally think it is Saudi Arabia, Rome the second and the least likely is the US. That´s just my opinion and scripture seems to back it up, others will disagree and some quite strongly, but I've seen little evidence to suggest otherwise, but this video does raise the odds slightly for the Catholic Church and certainly the opening picture shown above which features in the video is an eye opener.

The On Point Preparedness (OPP) You Tube Channel, a channel that I only bumped into before Christmas, which seems to be very popular and on the rise, produced this video below covering the latest meeting held with the worlds business leaders chaired by the Pope. It smacks of further implementation of the 2030 Agenda mentioned in a previous article which forms the backbone of the New world Order of one currency, one government, one religion, one world with no boundaries, one language, one ID, one financial/banking system and all the rest. This would equate to the Beast system mentioned in Revelation 13 and of course the associated mark.

The owner of this OPP Channel is apparently an ex catholic, so is in a strong position to give an insider view from the outside of the Catholic faith. I have had limited dealings with Catholicism so I'm not really qualified to comment on it, but what little I have seen, has not impressed me much at all, but my attitude is each to their own. I'm personally non-denominational these days.

Watch the Video on this meeting and more importantly the associated highlighted documentation and you will see the Pope who should be first and foremost a Religious leader step out as an emerging World Political/Government leader, something we saw hinted at way back in September 2015 when he visited the US.



NEXT watch this video on why the OPP Channel thinks the Catholic Church is Mystery Babylon. Probably one of the most convincing arguments yet with many of the jigsaw pieces fitting into place. VIDEO

What's my view on all this?

So has Mystery Babylon been revealed and part of Revelation 18 Fulfilled. It certainly is interesting and raises the profile of the Catholic Church as Mystery Babylon, but in my humble opinion the jigsaw pieces even now, a lot DO fit, but the fit is still not 100%. For Prophecy to be correct it has to be 100%, not 90% or 95% or even 99% but 100%.

The Pope is most certainly up to something, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure that one out, but for me I still think he could be the False Prophet. The Mekudeshet event last year amongst many others, would be another case in point. Let's just say I keep one eye on the Pope at all times.

Here´s a couple of lines of scripture that throw a spanner in the works of the Rome and the Catholic Church as Mystery Babylon.

Revelation 18:17-19
17. For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every ship master, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18. And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19. And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

1. If Rome is Mystery Babylon why are sailors, ships, ship masters, the sea mentioned so frequently. Rome is inland and is a not a seaport. Saudi Arabia is classed as a Desert in the Sea and imports most of it´s goods and is a better fit.
2. Verse 19 is particularly bizarre "And they cast dust on their heads and cried weeping and wailing". Casting dust on the head is a Middle Eastern custom that is not found in Europe or America. Why is this mentioned if Mystery Babylon is in the West such as Rome and not in the Middle East.
3. All of Revelation is focused pretty much around Israel and Jerusalem and the neighbouring Middle Eastern areas.
4. The Vatican is decked out in finery as mentioned in Revelation but is it making it's merchants rich. Certainly this recent meeting with the world business leaders would fit that description, but again Saudi Arabia by it's sheer importing power and incredible consumption has made more merchants rich?

Moving onto Revelation 19:2-3

2. For true and righteous are his judgements: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

If you cross reference Verse Rev 19:3 you come up with this:

Isaiah 34:9-10
9 It's streams will be turned into pitch, And its loose earth into brimstone, And its land will become burning pitch.
10 It will not be quenched night or day; Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation it will be desolate; None will pass through it forever and ever.

This prophecy has not happened yet and has not been fulfilled in Revelation either, nothing on this planet has continually burnt with smoke going on for ever and ever..........unless I've missed something?

What is Pitch. Wikipedia Definition?
Pitch is a name for any of a number of viscoelastic polymers. Pitch can be natural or manufactured, derived from petroleum, coal tar or plants. Various forms of pitch may also be called tar, bitumen or asphalt. Pitch produced from plants is also known as resin.

Italy imports 90% of it''s coal. It is not a producer of coal so that rules out Pitch derived from coal tar. Italy does have recently found oil reserves but nothing in comparison to say a country like Saudi Arabia that would burn forever and ever.

Here´s the Top 4 oil producing nations on this planet by Barrels per Day
Rank Country Oil - production (bbl/day)
1 Saudi Arabia 11,730,000
2 United States 11,110,000
3 Russia 10,440,000
4 China 4,197,000

Out of those 4 countries which is the smallest and therefore has the densest oil reserves per square km? The finger points at Saudi Arabia. What country could burn and it´s smoke would go up forever and ever, certainly the incredibly concentrated oil reserves of Saudi Arabia fit that description??

Revelation 18:11-13
11. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12. The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13. And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

Revelation 18:12 could certainly apply to the Vatican with the colours Purple and Scarlet being particularly relevant. This one is often quoted by the Rome and Mystery Babylon backers. The first part of Revelation 18:13 could also apply. BUT this could also be said of Saudi Arabia who is a huge importer of such products as the country is mainly desert.

It´s in the latter part of Verse 13 where everything falls flat on it´s face with regard to Rome and the Vatican. Italy is renowned for producing it´s own Oil such as Olive Oil, it´s own wine, it grows it´s own wheat (thin durum for pasta), has it´s own farms, produces it´s own cars (chariots). Slavery maybe in the past, souls of men yes. Apply Verse 13 to a country like Saudi Arabia and the pieces fit shockingly almost perfectly, especially when you throw the Islamic religion into the equation which Mecca is the capital city of.

The Old... Revelation is in Chronological Order - Not in Chronological Order debate?

This is the debate that brings out the Bible scholars in droves who state that the Book of Revelation is in Chronological Order or it is NOT in Chronological Order. My view is it is in Chronological Order mostly with some parallels in places. There are only two entities that really know the answer to that question and that is St John the Divine who is no longer with us who received the vision and the entity that gave him the vision in the first place and that is God. It doesn't matter how many letters you have after your name, whether you have studied Revelation for centuries and written a best selling book on it, the fact remains those are the only two entities that really know..........anything else is merely just theory and mans interpretation.

Revelation 18 is an example that is almost near to the end of the Book of Revelation. It is the last event before Christ’s return in glory at Armageddon in the next chapter. It is placed after the wrath of God is poured out and before Christ’s return. To say that Revelation 18 has been fulfilled would be like saying that the Wrath of God has been poured out via the Great Tribulation which quite clearly is not the case. That's if you hold the Chronological view. Even if you don''t hold the Chronological view, things don''t quite line up?

Summary.

The three front runners for mystery Babylon remain the same New York, US...... Vatican, Rome and Mecca, Saudi Arabia. There will be others emerging in the future, to challenge these three established locations, entities. As always with Prophecy that has been written by somebody else, it is easy to arrive at certain theories, it's getting all those jigsaw pieces not only to fit together but to present you with a clear and not scrambled picture. On a final note I suggest you watch this video below which appeared in the previous article on Mystery Babylon which goes into great detail on why he thinks and myself included that Saudi Arabia is Mystery Babylon and really is the strongest argument that is backed up by scripture. The Catholic Church and Rome is still a strong candidate but just slightly less convincing even with the recent developments and meeting taken into account which is compelling evidence. The direct scripture in Revelation 18  is clos,e but when you look for confirmations via cross referencing in the Old Testament, the Rome Mystery Babylon theory comes short! As always form your own opinion.

Is Europe next after the recent US Election Results?

With Trump doing the unthinkable and winning the US Election and creating a US BREXIT sort of moment just a couple of days ago (as predicted in a previous VIDEO) and the media and social media going into a frenzy as a result. Things have escalated with American Election Result Protests and shocking scenes being shown across the US with mass demonstrations at various locations and more recently rioting and racial and gender hate related slogans AND CRIMES popping up all over the country.

Trump Tower has been the focal point as many are aware in New York and 5000 or so demonstrators have headed to that area with slogans such as "Not our President" and words to similar effect which of course is being hyped up by the media.

After listening to his Presidential Speech, it all sounded positive, inspiring and make America Great again stuff. I think they need to give this man a chance before behaving like wild animals on the streets of America, he did win fair and square via the Democratic process! Not a popular view at the moment but it´s my view.

Some of my views on what is going on in America at present. Chaos in America. Is Europe Next?



The inauguration is on 20 January 2017 but as has been said many times a lot can happen between now and that date as we are only beginning to actually see happen before our very eyes. The establishment are not keen on this man, as he is NOT part of the establishment YET, the mainstream media definitely are not keen on him either and have painted a negative picture throughout his campaign, but as the results show, people are not stupid and not so easily fooled. Maybe he wasn´t the choice they wanted but they voted that way anyway as a tactical block vote to keep out the opposition and to put a stop to the liberal, socialism agenda which openly embraces all forms of the New World Order and the erosion of civil rights which we have seen in the last 8 years. I´m a Christian so I keep out of Politics!

The concern that this could spread?

The worrying concern are theories and rumours from it has to be said respected sources which are stating that what we are seeing in America could only be the beginning. We have seen the same thing in Venezuela (before) and it was mentioned in that blog post "Could what we are seeing in Venezuela actually happen in the US". At the time it sounded like some kooky conspiracy theory from somebody who is not in charge of their mental faculties and something that would not happen to a Superpower such as the US............never in a million years? Now we are seeing the beginnings of that kooky theory come into reality. It remains to be seen whether things will die down as they did in the UK after the BREXIT vote.

As mentioned in the above Video filmed in Piccadilly Circus in Central London, what we have seen in Venezuela and more recently in the US and has been seen in France and Greece, could this become a Europe wide phenomenon? The London Evening Standard has quoted Germany as maybe the next country to kick off, France could be another and has had track records in the past of doing so, and Italy could be another one with the General Election in that country on the horizon. A recent Evening Standard article expands on the Germany Theory

Which brings me finally and very nicely onto what this article is really all about and that is the fulfillment of Revelation 13 which strongly hints at an emerging New World Order. It´s right there in Biblical Prophecy in the Book of Revelation but for this to come about as has been said many times before, a mass global chaos situation is required which would result in martial law being introduced around the globe and then the introduction of this New World Order system to bring things back from chaos to normality. People will be begging for this system to get what they think is their lives back. Ordinarily they would be running the other way from such a totalitarian centrally controlled regime. My money is still on a financial collapse of the US, the likes this world has never seen, which everybody knows is coming sooner rather than later. That would certainly send shockwaves around the world and bring the whole world into meltdown and chaos mode. It would create the right environment for the seeding of the New World Order and all it´s components as laid out in the 2030 Agenda.

BUT with this new form of chaos emerging in the US, could we be looking at the beginnings of this spreading to Europe and maybe globally and it turns out that actually WE the people through our actions via demonstrations, riots and other such events bring about this system that nobody wants by our own actions rather than the actions by the powers that be on this planet. Only time will tell, but all eyes are on the US and on Trump but in Biblical terms there is only one Power that calls the shots in this world, it is not any Superpower here on this Earth!

More surprises, shocks, uncertainties, chaos and more are certainly on the horizon but in Biblical terms all eyes should be on the Middle East, Israel and more to the point Jerusalem!

The Venezuela Crisis. Are we looking at the template for future globalchaos?

The Venezuela Crisis has been hitting the headlines over the last few months but seems to be overshadowed by the recent increase in mass shootings and bombings, coups and terrorist attacks around the globe. The media seems to be diverting our attention to these events (real, fake, false flag or otherwise) but make no mistake this Venezuela crisis is a crucial development on the world stage and could prove to be a template of what could be happening globally in the not too distant future.

This article features videos either from amateurs or news sources that are not your regular mainstream media so form your own opinion, but make no mistake what is being presented here is fact. The final video is a prediction of what could happen to the US in the very near future. It may happen, it may not, it could happen later but this video has been included as we all know it´s coming.................it´s not a case of IF but when? If you think everything is peachy in the world..............you have your head in the sand....you really do!



So why Venezuela, it´s just another Latin American country that is experiencing problems like many have in the past, why the sudden interest? This is not a prophecy (I´m not a Prophet) it´s just based on an incredibly bad feeling based on NWO undertones. This Venezuela situation just seemed to leap out for some reason amidst all the world chaos and headlines that we are experiencing at the moment.

Going back quite a few years a lot of the Latin American countries were in the third world category, had massive debts and were being bailed out by the IMF, hyper inflation and experiencing economic and social instability. These days most (particularly Brazil) which is one of the rising BRICS nations are booming and are the new emerging China´s, economic powerhouses in their own right. Venezuela is hardly Brazil but did you know it has the richest oil reserves in the world more than Saudi Arabia. With all this potential wealth.......... what went wrong?

The Oil Price is what went wrong combined with gross central mismanagement. When the oil price hit $20 abarrel this country which is dependent on Oil Production got hit hard, revenues declined considerably and the result was a cataclysmic effect on the economy. The country also got hit by terrible drought which didn´t help but because the countries production was not diversified beyond oil, it got hit and hit hard.



How does the current Government/Politics work in Venezuela?
It works on and extreme form of Socialism called by some ‘Chavism’. It consists of industry nationalization coupled with social welfare policies in an attempt to solicit political support from the people in return for subsidized goods and services. Venezuela, like many other petro-states has provided basic services and reduced utility costs in return for support at the polls. In booming times, this 95% oil dependent nation has suffered at the hands of the country’s leadership, has not managed to develop other industries such as agriculture and manufacturing at times when government coffers were full hence the current crisis where the country is virtually bankrupt and is suffering the symptoms that this situation produces.

So what is the situation like in Venezuela and why is it of concern to the more Prosperous West such as the US and Europe?



Here´s what it is like in Venezuela at the moment. Remember this was a prosperous country just a couple of years ago.


Food and Medical Supply Shortages
There is a shortage of basic food supplies and also even basic medical supplies with no improvement in sight for the foreseeable future. Water is also showing signs of shortages and some public supplies have been turned off altogether. To get food at a supermarket the term "queue around the block" is the norm these days now in Venezuela with queues of 1km long or more being common with no guarantee that there will be food or medical supplies when you get into the store concerned.

Hyper Inflation.
A rucksack of money is required to buy just basic food items or a meal in a cafe/restaurant. It´s not quite as bad as it was in Germany before after the 1st World War where a "wheel barrow" of money was needed to buy a loaf of bread but it is heading that way and you can safely say the currency is worthless.

Gun Law and Martial Law
Caracas the capital of Venezuela has become the murder capital of the world with Guns becoming rampant and becoming a necessity for self defence as the Venezuelan society starts to go into meltdown. As a result Martial Law has been implemented and the military are involved in trying to keep some control over looting and potential riots flaring up and also the use of guns. Gun Free Zone signs are now becoming commonplace and are as prominent now as no smoking signs.

Hospitals have no medical supplies for treatment.
With the increasing unrest, lack of food and non availability of basic medical supplies, diseases are on the rise and people are heading to hospitals for treatment but are unable to get any as the hospitals are running out of basic medical supplies as well. See the videos for further shocking footage.

Rationing of Electricity.
Power outages for fixed periods of time and blackouts to conserve energy.

This is just a few of the situations arising from this economic collapse. A couple of years ago in more prosperous times it would not have been imaginable for this situation to happen but here´s what is happening in Venezuela at the time of writing as people get more and more desperate to survive.

1. Attacking and hijacking Supermarket Lorry Deliveries before they even reach the Supermarkets. Often the authorities just stand and watch doing nothing
2. Rummaging and Eating out of Garbage Bins
3. Unable to feed pets, pets running wild on the street hunting for food, some people hunting pets for food to survive...eating dogs and cats!
4. Authorities chasing and shooting at unauthorised vehicles trying to get food from less affected areas of Venezuela to those in desperate need.(ridiculously it´s against Venezuelan law to do so)
5. Looters getting beaten and shot at
6. Columbia opened it´s borders and thousands flooded in. Some sources say 35K+ others say 100K. Regardless of the numbers, stores selling food, water and medical supplies were cleared out in a very short period of time. How long the Columbian borders will stay open remains to be seen but the contagion is starting to spread.
7. Biometrics and forced finger printing is being implemented in order for people to obtain food? Coincidence or something more.
8. State of Emergency declared making the introduction of Martial Law compulsory.
9. Looting of Supermarkets and Stores to survive

Summary
In summary this is Socialism in it´s very final stages proving that total centralised Government control is not desirable and more importantly doesn´t work . As we have seen in the past centralised control via Government in the form of Communism doesn´t work, even China has given up on it. Fascism and Dictatorship throughout history proves it´s lso doomed to failure. So what´s the answer? Anarchy? Again as we know Anarchy doesn´t work either.

What´s worrying
What´s worrying, Venezuela is an oil rich nation that has been centrally mismanaged and everything happened rather quickly. Some are saying that this situation was created deliberately and that Venezuela is a blueprint or template of what is to come around the globe and are citing parallels with the current US Economy . Just like lab rats crowded in a cage and given limited or no food and watching the outcome, Venezuela looks increasingly like a social experiment to see how the public reacts to no food, water and medical supplies, a rampant gun culture and then having Martial Law imposed and mass Biometric and finger print ID forcibly introduced and see what resistance there is and what the take up rate is amongst people that are desperate and struggling to survive. You could say it is an experiment in the introduction of New world Order on a micro level.

People in the US and Europe and other prosperous nations think "This couldn´t possibly happen here could it?" The US and Europe are leading economies in the Western World but are in the very early stages of showing the same symptoms as Venezuela. The recent headlines surrounding France, Greece and recently Germany, and the Turkey Coup (real or not) being a case in point. Economically Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain as we know are not in great positions, and we saw what happened in Greece.

Future Predictions
Which brings us nicely onto Jeff Berwick of the Dollar Vigilante, a total anarchist. He amongst many others saw the 2008 crash coming and the next one in 2015 but which was averted but still produced the biggest point drop in the Dow Jones in recent times. With the Dow Jones at bizarrely high levels, levels that are making many nervous, there is a feeling just like in 1929 that the party is going to come to an abrupt halt, many bubbles are going to pop and 2008 will look like a day out in Disneyland in comparison. This Jeff Berwick has predicted the US Market Crash on a very exact date of October 2 2016 which happens to be the end of The Jubilee Year of the Shemitah , a 7 year Biblical and Jewish Cycle found in Judaism and practiced till this very day that throughout history has produced some real shocker headlines. Video below explains in full detail. Believe or not but itś an eye opener.




Is the New World Order closer than we think?
We all know that the US and Europe have used near zero or negative interest rates to avert another financial crisis just like the one in 2008. They also have used Quantitative Easing or QE which basically means printing more money and releasing it into the economy throwing caution to the wind regarding the devaluation effect it has on a nations currency. Cheap money is good for the financial markets and Central Banks and for Corporate debt but doesn´t really have any impact on the lives of people at street level as people are slowly beginning to realise. The Dow Jones can be at all times highs but really ask yourself this question "Are you enjoying the party as much as the elite are. Do you really feel any better off?"

Are we reaching the stage where Central Banks and Governments are running out of options, country debts are at such astronomical levels that just raising the interest rates 50 basis points (O.5%) means we are looking at an imminent financial collapse. Is the sick patient (economy) so addicted to QE that if we stop it would be like pulling the plug on a life support machine. Governments, financial markets and Central Banks know a scary experiment is taking place here and we don´t know where it will lead to, as it has never been tried before. All the major currencies are not backed by Gold anymore, they are what is called FIAT meaning they are a reflection of confidence in that currency. Remove the confidence and the currency crashes. Some are saying that the US Dollar is nearing a point of imminent collapse (has been said for many years) but if there was a loss of confidence it would send shock waves around the globe.It would be like BREXIT but many times worse. Already many major economies are looking at ways of trading outside the dollar which is an early indicator that the US dollar could be on it´s last legs and confidence is waning.

Would that collapse lead eventually to a similar crisis as we are witnessing in the should be wealthy oil rich nation of Venezuela but on a global scale? Could this be the way the Western World is heading deliberately to bring about a crisis just like in Venezuela which would justify the introduction of Martial Law and Gun Law. Could food rationing or deliberate food shortages be happening in the near future, with food only obtained via forced Biometrics style ID such as Finger Prints or even RFID. Those without such ID would either starve or be reduced to searching through bins or eating cats and dogs just like some are doing in Venezuela right now. It sounds ridiculous in this modern day and age, but Venezuela probably thought the same thing a couple of years ago ............ look at them now.



The potential for an Economic crisis aside, the recent rise in terrorist activity, mass shootings and bombings (real or false flag), the French Riots and Anti Government protests in other countries, the recent Turkey Coup (real or not) and what appears to be a slow but accelerating breakdown in modern society, these are clear sign posts that state that something is on it´s way. As I have said before, if society becomes destabilised either by itself, an outside force or by Government influence or some other major event, if things get to a situation like Venezuela then these "States of Emergency" we are seeing in France and Turkey and elsewhere will become the new normality in many Western Nations. Others will be forced to follow suit, you are then witnessing the introduction of Martial Law on a permanent basis on a global scale......this is the first step towards the Orwellian Society called the New World Order and the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda.

We now live in an inter connected world. Things that happen thousands of miles away are now on our doorstep very quickly. Financial Markets, Pandemics and the recent Mass Migration happen and happen fast. It is no longer a safe view to think that what is happening thousands of miles away will not come to a major Western Economy. The Zika Virus is a recent example.

The motto is "be prepared" because what is coming, is coming and sooner than many people realise!

Bible Quotes

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 13:16-18

For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
1 Corinthians 14:33

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Romans 8:35
