Roman empire as iron legs and feet mingled with clay and iron was a mixture of weak and strong nations which lasted 1000 yrs. Each of these empires were world powers. The United States is part of the Roman empire and is an iron nation and a world power has been a nation for 244 years so far. This is what the prophecy of the Eagle is about. Israel was in captivity in all these nations. They were in cruel bondage, yet God placed Israel there for their protection. The slavery in the US was the cruelest which have affected black people even today.

and jets and cars, electricity, and all modern ways of communication. This country was also blessed with powerful military might, world class education and cutting-edge technology and science which made it a world leader.

power. The body of the eagle represents the voice of the people. The feathers represented each president. This eagle had 8 contrary feathers which were the presidents who took away the good from the poor, black and minority people and especially those who are the children of Israel here.

promises made to them after Reconstruction was unfulfilled. Jim Crow laws were initiated, and many black people suffered, and segregation was in full swing in the South and spreading North. The Great Mississippi flood of 1925 was the time Herbert Hoover was over the Red Cross. He did little to aid Black people during this flood. Many black people died by drowning and suffered because of lack of basic care. Many Black people were not rescued. As white people were rescued from the flood, they sang a song, “Bye, Bye, Black Bird,” as Black people were left to drown.

Herbert Hoover wanted to be president and made promises to Black leaders if they would vote for him to become President, he would help black people and pass laws to stop lynching. Hoover won the presidency with the aid of black people but did not fulfill promises that he made, and lynching continued along with other atrocities. He was president from 1929- 1933 and the Lord struck this country with the Great Depression in 1929, during the beginning of Hoover’s administration while the country was in peril of falling. Here is where our countdown begins, 1929 began the latter days. The US was in peril of falling. The Great Depression affected the whole world as did the Dust Bowl. The economies of the world were also in peril of falling as well. Herbert Hoover was the first contrary feather. What does the contrary feather mean? These are the presidents that did not conform to what was expected of them concerning laws of the land in which caused problems with the people. The poor and minorities suffered.

Franklin D Roosevelt, who was president after Hoover. He helped this country from its impending fall and became president from 1933-1945 and got the US out of a free fall from the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl which helped other countries and their economies. Roosevelt set up safety nets like social security and welfare to help the poor and calling it the New Deal. He was in office for twelve years which was longer than any president. But a command from heaven said this, “Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long: this I say unto thee, before thou beginnest to appear no more: There shall none after thee attain unto the time, neither unto the half thereof,” 2 Esdras 11:15-17. In 1947 the Congress passed the 22nd amendment for a 2-term limit on the presidency. FDR was the president that built the atomic bomb and at this point this country could have destroyed the world with this technology. World War 2 began in 1939 and ended in 1945. At that time, the U.S. and Russia were Allies and fought against Germany, yet Russia was an iron nation and wanted world dominance. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Dec. 1941.

Harry Truman assumed the office of presidency after the death of FDR in 1945. In 1945, Truman dropped the atomic bomb on Japan twice, once on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which ended WW2. Harry Truman was the first president that desegregated the military so that Black men could be in the army side by side with whites. He also extended FDR’s New Deal to help the country grow. At this point, the United States was a contender for the greatest nation. Therefore, the Lord continued to raise up Russia to keep the US in check for a while. After WW2 ended, the Cold War between Russia and the US began, each trying to push their agenda and forms of government all over world from northern, West and Eastern Europe, North and South America, and islands in the Caribbean as well as Asia, including China and parts of Africa.

Eisenhower was president as the Cold War continued. During his presidency, the civil rights movement began stirring. Eisenhower was president when Brown v. Board of Education in Topeka Kansas which was a landmark 1954 case, which the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional. In 1955, Emmet Till, a 14-year-old Black teen was brutally murdered in Mississippi, and the white men that murdered him for whistling at a white woman got away with his murder, this spurred on the Civil Rights Movement. In Oct 1956 USSR sent up Sputnik as the first satellite. It orbited for three weeks before its batteries died and orbited silently for two months before it fell back into the atmosphere. The satellite’s unanticipated success precipitated the American Sputnik crisis and triggered the Space Race as part of the Cold war between US and USSR.

In 1957, Eisenhower was forced to send troops to desegregate Little Rock Arkansas Central High School, which he did not want to do. He felt the responsibility of Civil Rights should be left up to the states and deplored the Supreme Court decision of Brown vs the Board of Education in 1954. He felt separate but equal laws had no place in education. He had to send in national guards for the 9 Black students who were sent there for desegregation. The Eisenhower administration did many experiments on black men in the army as well as poor black citizens around the country without their knowledge. James Ketchum was a psychiatrist and a US Medical Corp officer who worked for almost a decade on the US military’s top secret psychochemical warfare program in Edgewood Arsenal Maryland. He pursued research on chemicals to be used to incapacitate the minds of adversaries.

The CIA began using mind altering drugs like LSD, Benzodiazepines, and cannabis derivatives from 1955-1973 on black soldiers. James Ketchum experimented and manipulated its subjects’ mental states and brain function. They also used electroshock, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as other forms of torture. In WW2, Black enlisted men were used as human guinea pigs in chemical experiments during World War 2. The army finally admitted to this in 1991.

In the 1950’s, the CIA and the US military released half a million mosquitoes with yellow fever and dengue fever into black Florida communities leading to multiple illnesses and deaths to determine how mosquitos could be used as weapons. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, poor Black St. Louis neighborhoods were use in a Cold War experiment in which the army, using aerosol blowers mounted on vehicles and rooftops, sprayed a radiation-laced toxin called zinc cadmium sulfide, a fluorescent powder. Thousands likely inhaled the toxins. Eisenhower was the second contrary feather.

John Kennedy was elected president after Eisenhower and the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King was in full swing, but he was in office only 3 years. In 1963 The March on Washington led by Martin Luther King was Aug. 1963, where he gave the I have a Dream Speech. On Sep. 15, 1963, white men bombed the 16th street Baptist church where 4 young black girls were killed. John Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963. During his administration J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI director, opposed Martin Luther King and viewed him as a troublemaker and accused him of being Communist. Therefore, Robert Kennedy the Attorney General gave Hoover a written directive to wiretap Martin Luther King, and the other Southern Christian Leadership group and other civil rights organizations.

Lyndon Johnson finished John Kennedy’s term after his assassination and then ran for president and easily won. The Vietnam war escalated during his administration and the Civil Rights Movement was in full swing. His administration passed the Civil Rights Bill and the Voting Act Bill. He also passed Medicare and Medicaid for the poor. His administration started the War on Poverty, and Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. He nominated the first African American judge, Thurgood Marshall, to the Supreme Court. Head Start began in the Johnson administration as well as the Food Stamp program. He continued wiretapping Martin Luther King from the previous administration. He told black leaders that he could not give them a full loaf of bread, but he could give them a half of a loaf because of the Republican opposition to programs for the poor and blacks.

Richard Nixon was the 3rd country feather, who began trying to remove the safety nets from the poor. His administration created false shortages so that food prices would go up.

During Nixon’s term in office, there were widespread protests of the Vietnam war. In 1970 at Kent State University in Ohio, tragedy occurred when the National Guard killed 9 student protesters as they shot into a crowd of 2000 students. Prior to his second term in office, he was involved in the Watergate scandal in 1972 when the GOP broke into the Democratic Headquarters at the Watergate Hotel. Nixon, who faced almost certain impeachment for his role in the Watergate scandal, chose to resign rather than be impeached.

Gerald Ford finished Nixon’s term in office and pardoned him for his crimes. He was the only president that served but never elected. Ford vetoed a $45 billion appropriation for health, education, welfare, and labor departments that could help the poor. Ford presided over the worst economy in the four decades since the Great Depression, with growing inflation and recession. Ford was the target of two assassination attempts. Gerald Ford was the 4th contrary feather.

Jimmy Carter supported the growing civil rights movement. He was president when there was a coup in Iran. The Shah of Iran escaped to the US and the Iranian government took 40 American hostages from 1979-1981. Jimmy Carter’s attempt to rescue them failed. Ronald Reagan ran for the presidency and won easily. This was the only time that the 40 Americans that were held captive in Iran were freed because Reagan promised them weapons.

When Reagan took office, he began implementing sweeping new political and economic initiatives and dubbed it Reaganomics. He deregulated businesses; many people lost jobs and companies were able to take the workers’ pensions ad dismantle companies that people worked in for years. He also weakened the labor unions. His Vice President, George H. W. Bush had been over the CIA.

The Iran Contra Scandal under the Reagan administration happened when Reagan asked for money from congress to purchase arms for Iran and their war against Iraq and the Contras in Central America to fight against the Soviet Union. When Reagan could not get money from Congress for arms, he enlisted the CIA to fund this purchase. The CIA secretly sold crack cocaine to gangs throughout the United States. This ruined a generation of Black families in the US, as he provided arms to Iran and the Contras in Nicaragua. The CIA to brought drugs into California and other big cites to Black people in black neighborhoods in the United States. The CIA showed the gang leaders how to make crack cocaine which they infiltrated throughout black neighborhoods so that he could use the money for weapons. This caused drug wars between Black gangs and escalated violence between gangs like the Crips and Bloods. The gangs sold crack cocaine that spread throughout the country and destroyed a generation of Black and Brown people and spread to large cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit and Miami.

In March 1981, Reagan survived an assassination attempt. He also coined the phrase Welfare Queen, and black women were accused of getting rich from being on welfare. He used this to rally support for reform of the welfare system that would affect many single black women. His administration was often criticized for inadequate enforcing if not undermining civil rights legislation. He vetoed the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 which he stated infringed on states’ rights. He caused war between Iran and Iraq and bombed Libya.

The dissolution of the Soviet Union was from 1988-1991. In 1988 Reagan challenged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the wall dividing East and West Berlin which was the beginning of the fall of the Soviet Union.

the Reagan administration. After the fall of the Berlin wall, Bush pushed for unification of Germany. He did something that Reagan did not do and that was he led an international coalition of countries which forced Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait. This started the first Gulf war that lasted about 3 months, and it opened doors for the Gulf war to continue between the US, Iraq and Afghanistan even today. He undertook a US military invasion of Panama to arrest Manuel Noriega who was charged with drug trafficking that brought drugs into the US. He signed the NAFTA agreement which created a trilateral trade bloc of the US, Canada and Mexico. This opened a door for companies to leave the US and go to Canada and Mexico where labor was cheaper and had no unions but caused job loss for people in the US.

In 1993 there was a terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center carried out February 26, 1993, when a truck bomb detonated below the north tower of the Trade Center in New York and killed 6 people and injured 1000.

He passed welfare reforms and kept some safety nets. He also coined, “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” to protect sodomites in the military from expulsion because of their sodomy. Bill Clinton signed a bill in 1994 called “Three Strikes You are Out,” creating tough new criminal sentencing to put poor people in prison and forced them to work a little above slavery for some crimes and misdemeanors. Many states built more prisons because this provided money to the states as the US incarcerated more people and disproportionately more black people were put in prisons for profit. He also passed a law for people on welfare to work before getting a check. This was part of the “welfare queen” trope under the Reagan administration which became a catch phrase and used as a derogatory connotation that to this day has endured and continues to shape public perception about the poor and black women. The Clinton administration balanced the budget, the stock market was up, and many black people had white collar jobs and were more prosperous

George W. Bush was the 7th contrary feather. He got into office by a narrow win over Al Gore that involved the Supreme Court decision to stop a recount in Florida. He continued to follow in his father’s footsteps. Shortly after his presidency, two airplanes crashed into The World trade Towers in New York. The same day, there was a plane crash at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania killing over 3000 people and was called 9/11 because it happened September the 11. This act of terrorism caused a Gulf war between Iraq, Afghanistan and the US. Osama Bin Laden was blamed as well as Saddam Hussein. There was also a coalition of nations that joined in these wars. This war continues today and has been very profitable for the rich. At the beginning of the Gulf War, Bush was a hero of sorts because he bombed Iraq and continued with Afghanistan. He told the people that this would be a short war. However, there were many atrocities and war crimes done to the Iraq people that the US and the other nations took part in. They used torture and waterboarded people to make them confess crimes. After their confession they were killed, and their bodies were counted, and money was paid to their torturers. As the war continued against Iraq, it was proven that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction that the Bush administration accused him of. Many Iraq people died for nothing. Many Americans also died and suffered from mental and physical wounds due to the war. Bush began receiving criticism of the Gulf war and of the war crimes committed by merchant soldiers.

In 2003, the Immigration and Costumes Enforcement (ICE) was created pursuant to Homeland Security Act of 2002. In response to 9/11, lawmakers gave ICE a unique combination of civil and criminal authorities to protect national security and strengthen public safety including border patrol, trade and immigration. ICE quickly became a powerful and sophisticated federal law enforcement. They could come into a home and remove people from their families, jobs, homes. The name ICE struck fear in many immigrants. Yet the flood of people migrating from South America continues today.

In 2005, there was a Hurricane that entered the Gulf states called Katrina. It affected the 9th, ward in New Orleans and many people died because they protected the businesses rather than the people. Bush received criticism of his handling of Hurricane Katrina particularly in New Orleans 9th ward where mostly black and poor people lived and have not recovered totally even today. Many black people died calling for help. Some died by drowning in their homes while Bush took several days before he sent relief.

In December 2007, the US entered the Great Recession. The 2008 financial crisis was his lowest ratings that affected not only the US but countries around the globe. There was a mortgage bubble that burst, and many people lost their home and jobs. Many car companies and banks were going under and needed help due to this recession. Therefore, Barack Obama called upon Bush to help save the auto industry as he left office.

Obama signed many landmark bills into law during his first two years in office; one was the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, this was an insurance option for many without insurance; the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the unemployment Insurance Reauthorization as well as Job Creation Act of 2010 as an economic stimulus.

May 2,2011, President Obama, announced that the US military and the CIA located and killed Osama Bin Laden the al Qaeda leader on a midnight raid in Pakistan for the September 11 attacks.

One of the big things that Obama signed was to promote inclusion for LBGT American that opened wide the door for sodomy. His administration urged the Supreme Court to strike down same-sex marriage bans. When Obama left Office, he was a beloved President and respected around the globe except the Republicans in Congress and the country.

Barack Obama’s administration was to see if Babylon could be healed. “We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed; forsake her, and let us go everyone into his own country; for her judgement reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies,” Jer. 51:9. The Obama administration sent many migrants back to their own country.

president like Obama and continues to try and heal this country. He is also trying to bring the right side and left side in agreement. There has been a split in the Republican party and many still cling to the lie that Donald Trump is the real president, and his presidency was stolen from him. His administration had been riddled with lies and conspiracy theories. There has been protest, anger and violence and some of the Congress are members of Q Anon, the KKK, and the Proud Boys.

Biden entered office amid the Covid-19 pandemic an economic crisis and increased political polarization. He tried to revert some of the things the Trump administration did. And halted funding to Trumps’s border wall. Americans were encouraged to get vaccinated for covid-19. He signed a bill making Juneteenth a national Independence Day and federal holiday. And he appointed the first Black Female to the Supreme court.

This administration so far has coat tailed onto the Obama administration and reopening the military for Trans genders and other benefits removed by the Trump Administration. So far there is an increase of the Coronavirus with 4 different variants which the vaccine may not work on. He is also trying to please everyone in a short amount of time. He reduced insulin to a 35dollar cap which big Pharma had raised it to over 400 dollars a month for some.

against the Palestinians. The Biden administration did little to stop the escalation of Israel as they bombed men, women, and infants. Most of their cities were bombed and the US continued to supply Israel with weapons. Though Israel has destroyed over 40,000 Palestinians they continue to use torture and bomb, hospitals, schools and other buildings. The Jews are doing to the Palestinians as Germany did to them but with the aid of the US. There is fear that this war will escalate and engulf the entire region.

The debate that Trump and Biden had was a miserable failure for Biden and he was asked to step down from running against Trump. This caused great distress among Democrats when he refused. Eventually due to his age and health, he stepped down and Kamala Harris his Vice is running for President instead of Joe Biden. This is an ongoing prophecy.

could take over for him. He invested in other businesses and gained acceptance by politicians, banks and other wealthy men. His father Fred was a racist. It was said that he was member of the KU KLUX KLAN. In 1971 his father and him were sued by the Justice Department, the Civil Rights Division for racial discrimination. Trump had a series of business failures but became a Realty Star in the television series, The Apprentice that ran from 2004-2017. Trump had many failed businesses and more than 4000 legal actions against him, including bankruptcies. In his casinos when he walked in, he did not want to see any black people who worked there. He took out a fullpage newspaper ad to condemned innocent black teens of raping a white woman and encouraged the death penalty even though they were found innocent. He decided to run for president in 2015 when he saw Barack Obama win in 2008. He tried to say Obama was not a US citizen even thou it was proven he was born in Hawaii.

actions were racially charged and misogynist. He put fear in many of the republican politicians that spoke against him. Therefore, many refused to speak out against him for fear of losing their jobs. Those that spoke out against him were never voted for.

How did Trump control his followers? Trump, being a racist, misogynist and a pathological liar, resurrected the hatred and racism already in the hearts of his people that was barely suppressed by the laws in the land in the people. He said what they wanted to say out loud. He entertained them with his lies by regurgitating this to them they way dogs feed their puppies. It tasted good to them, and they could do and say what they wanted to be spurred on by many in the media like Fox news and conspiracy theorist.

When Trump became president he admired the autocrat countries like Russia, China, North Korea and Hungary. He wanted a parade in his honor as he watched missiles and soldiers march in downtown D.C.

Since leaving office, Trump continues to have dominance over the Republican party with threats, job loss. Yet, they have chosen him as their presidential candidate for 2024. Trump was also found guilty of 34 felonies, falsifying business records and payoff hush money to a porn star. He has been indicted in three jurisdictions on 54 other felony counts related to mishandling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the2020 presidential election. Trump was also found libel for sexual abuse and defamation in 2023 and 2024 financial fraud in 2024.

governments have today.

THE LION: Who is the lion who has been watching this eagle and her evils all this time. The Lion with the man’s voice is Christ and his watchmen. He is upbraiding the Eagle for her wickedness, and she has been judged and will be destroyed by God. 2 Esdras 11:37-46 & 2 Esdras 12:31-34.

Eighth Contrary feather: Why was Trump the eighth contrary feather? Trump and all the contrary president’s administration and their laws were trying to destroy democracy as we know it for their benefit. He is the last of the eight presidents. Here is what 2 Esdras 11:37-45 say about this country. “And I beheld, and lo as it were a roaring lion chased out of the wood; and I saw that he sent out a man’s voice unto the eagle, and said, hear thou, I will talk with thee. Art not thou it that remainest of the four beast, whom I made to reign in my world, that the end times might come through them? And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with much wickedness and oppression; and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit. For the earth hast thou not judged with truth. For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwelling of them that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no harm. Therefore, is thou wrongful dealing come up unto the highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty. The highest also hath looked upon the proud times, and behold, they are ended, and his abominations are fulfilled. And therefore, appear no more, thou eagle, nor thou horrible wings, nor thou wicked feathers, nor thou malicious heads, nor thou hurtful claws, nor all thy vain body.”

to understand at that time. The Lord gave us understanding in measure and it has taken us up until 2020 for us to understand it today. We had to look at what happened in the past to see what will happen in the future. “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying; My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure,” Is. 46:10. From the time of Daniel, the prophet, unto our day, this prophecy has continued as the United States became a nation. As time went on, we can see how this country became great as an iron nation and part of the Roman Empire. By learning this, we can see the past, present and future of this country. This prophecy will continue until the fall of this country. Amen.

What is a democracy? A democracy is a system of government with regular, free and fair elections, in which all adult citizens have the right to vote and possess basic civil liberties such as freedom of speech and association. Abraham Lincoln said that democracy is the government of the people, by the people and for the people. The pledge of allegiance is a pledge “to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice to all.” The preamble to the constitution begins, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution of the United States of America.”

The founding fathers who wrote the constitution were slave owners. The blessings of liberty did not extend to their slaves. They didn’t care about their general welfare. It did not extend to the native Americans whose land they stole. It didn’t really extend to white women who were treated as chattel. They were the property of their husbands. Those words that Abraham Lincoln spoke at the Gettysburg address was what he hoped and believed that democracy was, and what he felt it should be. But it never achieved that goal. The pledge to the flag is just a lie. We had to stand and recite that lie every day in school, knowing that segregation kept us poor and second class citizens. Where was our liberty and justice? Who protected our general welfare? And speaking of free and fair elections, our country, this United States, has a strong history of not allowing blacks to vote. And even after slavery, and after the voting rights act in 1870, they did everything they could to keep blacks from voting. Much of the civil rights movement in the 50s and 60s was about voting rights. How was this country being Democratic? The elections were neither free (there was a poll tax) nor fair, and all adult citizens did not have the right to vote.

There is a problem with democracy, and with the government of the United States. And sadly this government is probably one of the best in the world. Therefore there is a problem with the governments of all the nations on earth. What are a few of the other governments in the world? There are autocracies which are governments where there is one person with absolute power. They are usually cruel and oppressive. They often live extravagant lives on the backs of the poor. Sometimes the people can’t take it anymore. Usually when they are so hungry that they have nothing to lose. Sometimes people riot and storm the residence of their leaders so that they have to flee. This just recently happened in Bangladesh. An authoritative regime has a concentration of power in a leader or elite but don’t have a constitution and is not responsible to the people. They will allow social and economic institutions. They rely on the people accepting their control. In a totalitarian state the government controls everything. I guess this is like China and North Korea is today.

An oligarchy is where a small group of people have all the power in a country or institution. We hear about the Russian oligarchs. A theocracy is when the laws of the land is based solely or in part on the religion of the people, and is in the hand of a religious leader. Such as the Ayatollah in Iran, or the Pope in Vatican City. Iran has strict and harsh laws, especially for women. It is merciless. Tyranny is when the government is cruel, harsh and unfair. Most of these authoritative regimes also practice tyranny. Anarchy is an absence of government and when lawlessness has taken over. There are places in Africa where there is just anarchy. When no one is in control or power then the very worse and violent people such as gangs take over. If you read II Esdras chapter 16 it talks about a period of anarchy and tyranny. This is going to happen when God takes all of his goodness from the wicked. There are also monarchies and democratic monarchies, as well as other forms of governments such as parliaments, but that is too much to discuss in this class.

There are many types of democracies too. But I just want to mention two. A direct democracy (also called participatory democracy) is when all citizens participate in the government and make laws and decisions. The United States has a representative democracy, which is also a republic. We vote for people to make laws and decisions for us. It would be too difficult and the country is too big for everyone to vote on every law and decision. The founding fathers, and I hate referring to them as that, but for ease of writing, the founding fathers were right about that. They felt that most people were too ignorant and uneducated to make good choices for the country. So let the best and brightest do it for the unlearned masses. Herein is another problem, the best and brightest? Not hardly. As it says in Daniel, the basest of men are put in government. Daniel 4:17, “….the Most

When Rick and I went to Washington DC, we saw the original constitution. It took a long time in a very long line to get to see it. There were armed guards all around. It is one of this country’s greatest treasures. All over Washington DC there are monuments to the great men. Words carved in stone. Such beautiful lovely words. Such beautiful white marble, granite and brass. It's all free for the public because we pay for it anyway with our taxes. But there is a problem with democracy and with the government of the United States. The Bible talks about it in II Esdras chapters 11 and 12. Marjorie and Colleen wrote a book called the United States in Prophecy. It is about the Eagle, the symbol of the United States. The eagle is literally the symbol of the US, but it is more importantly, the spiritual symbol and likeness. They never finished the book because we are still living in it. The Lord has turned our face in this direction again, to look at the United States and the judgment of the Lord.

I was recently told in a dream that Colleen and I had to search and add our parts to this work. Now Colleen and Marjorie wrote the original book. I never had a part in it. But I was told that I have to add to it and so must Colleen, we must look and search. We must search high and low. My first part that I am adding is this class which speaks just a little about democracy. And I had to search for the information because I always hated Government and History in school and just learned enough to get a good grade and promptly forgot it. This is left handed work for me. But I got to do it. Democracy is going to fall. I can’t say it more plainly. Democracy is going to fall.

This country that is also called Babylon, because she is the capital city of Babylon is going to fall. Melissa had a dream where an Arab woman wearing a hijab came up to Biden and swiped her finger over his heart, and his face became mottled. A person who is mottled has uneven blood flow and oxygen to the body. We can see this sometimes before they die. Biden fell down and all of the men that were with him fell on top of him. We believe this is the fall of democracy, and the sign pointing to it is what happened to that man. If you watched even a small part of his debate with Trump you can understand what I’m talking about. He was old, feeble and confused. His speech was soft and whispery. There was no power with him anymore. Democracy is old and feeble and has not lived up to what people hoped it would be.

Democracy is dying. And it won’t be pretty. It won’t be fun for us either. Because we are still here, and subject to the sons of men. What is the problem with democracy? Why didn’t it work? The very word “democracy” gives you a positive feeling. You feel proud that your country is democratic. It must be a good thing right? What do you think? Is democracy good? It promises justice, and freedom and ensures basic rights for everyone, and everyone’s opinion counts. So that’s good right? Is democracy good? What do you think? It’s good and bad. Every government in this

The Wisdom of God gives man the knowledge and understanding to form governments and to make laws. She gives man the ability to build and produce and to provide food for the world. And God the Father gives his mercy and goodness every day. His sun shines and his rain falls on the just and also on the unjust. God is very good! The promise of justice and liberty in democracy is a beautiful promise. The problem is that the nature of man is good and evil. The nature of man is from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And the good in the tree of knowledge of good and evil allows the evil to remain. And the evil will always fight to destroy the good. There is a saying about the best of all possible worlds, or that we can do certain wrong things as long as its for the greater good. This is a covenant with evil. The good in the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and that is also in mankind, the good that we are born with, is not strong enough to overcome the evil.

And given a strong enough temptation, that kind neighbor might tell people where to find you if you’re hiding for your life. And that good husband and father after suffering with a job loss and illness and troubles just might kill himself. If those bad things never happened he would have seemed like a good man with a perfect life. You see everyone wants the good. They want all the good things that life, or God can give them. And many are willing to act good, as long as it makes life pleasant. But they also want to sin, or to do what they feel like doing, what makes them happy. The body craves it. It lusts after sin which is it’s nature. Mankind doesn’t want holiness, and they don’t want Godliness. They find too much pleasure in sin

The righteousness that comes from God is not part of our nature, it is not what we are born with, it must be engrafted into us. This is why we must be born again. Our nature is good and evil. Holiness is what we are adopted into. It is our choice. But holiness requires sacrifice. It requires you to mortify the deeds of the flesh, and to take on the cross of Christ. And most people won’t do that. They have no interest in that. But God’s children, who are called will seek out righteousness. They will seek out the kingdom of God. They will choose life over death. And the word of God is more powerful than anything else. It is called the engrafted word. James 1:21, “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” The fruit that grows from it is righteousness. It will overcome sin and death in the flesh. It will overcome the knowledge of good and evil.

The words of the constitution and all its freedoms and liberties and justice was never true. It was a lie. From the beginning, when they first developed it and put pen to paper it was never true. But God remembers it. On that great day it will be plastered in the minds of the people as well as the word of God. They knew, they knew, they knew good as well as evil, they just wouldn’t obey.

I have been reading a book called When Democracies Dies. It’s interesting but I usually never finish nonfiction books like that. Actually I never read nonfiction books like that but I got it from the library on my iPad to understand some things. Now I don’t know exactly how things are going to happen until it does.

I just can’t see things clearly enough. We see through a glass darkly. But God does reveal some things to us through dreams and interpretation of the scriptures. So I know democracy, as well as the government of this country and all of the nations of the world are going to fall. Mostly I have seen much change coming about with the spirit that is on Donald Trump. I’m not sure if he will be reelected but either way that spirit force will remain in power and once it has power, I was told that it will continue until the Man of Sin. I’ve had a lot of dreams about Trump. With dreams you just have to watch and see if it comes to pass because there is no specific scripture that I can pinpoint now to show you, so you can try the spirit by the spirit.

I don’t want you to believe anything just because I think it’s going to happen. Believe those things that can be proven in the scripture. But I do believe in the things that God has told me. At the same time I will not preach these things as doctrine. I just want to point out a direction to you and encourage you to keep your eyes open. Everything that God says in the scriptures is true. They will happen. God’s word is true. Our understanding is limited but God’s word is true. Whatever happens in this country and in this world as the time draws closer to the end is his will. No one can escape his will. Judgment will come in the time God has decreed and nothing will prevent it. You can’t speed it up to suit you and you can’t slow it down. Let God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Anyway, back to the book. Apparently having a democracy does not prevent the rise of an autocrat or authoritarian regime. Sometimes there is a military coupe to take over a country but that is rare now. Usually an autocrat eases in through the democratic process. Hitler, for example was voted in! He didn’t just take over through the military. The people wanted him. Hitler was a demagogue. A demagogue is a political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than using rational arguments. Guess who else is a demagogue? The book I am reading lists four indicators of a person with authoritarian behavior. 1. A rejection of or weak commitment to democratic rules of the game. Such as attempting to undermine the legitimacy of elections. 2. Denying the legitimacy of political opponents. Saying they are disqualified like saying Obama was not born in the USA and that it was not legal for Biden to withdraw and his delegates go to Kamala Harris. 3. Toleration or encouragement of violence, such as January 6. And 4. Readiness to curtail civil liberties of opponents including the media, such as law suits against anyone who says anything against him and praising repressive regimes.

Donald Trump is not the only demagogue rising to power. There is a spirit all over Europe rising like a wave. It is a right wing extremist spirit. It calls itself nationalism. They hate immigrants and want to close their borders. They blame immigrants for all of their problems just like Germany blamed the fake Jews for all of their problems. Right wing extremism is a spectrum of political thought that tends to be radically conservative, ultra nationalist, and authoritarian. Historically, far right politics has been used to describe the experiences of fascism, and Nazism. Contemporary definitions include neo-fascism, neonazism the alt right, racial supremacy, and other organizations that feature aspects of authoritarian, ultra nationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, theocratic, racist and reactionary. They say it’s also homophobic but so am I so I’m not including that in my definition. These are some of the people who love and vote for, and do violence for Donald Trump.

If the majority of the people want a wicked man, it begins as democracy. If he is charismatic or appeals to people's baser instincts he can win an election. Authoritarian rule can slide in slowly. Democracy may erode over time. But we really don’t know how this is going to happen. It will be a surprise. God doesn’t tell us everything. But even now we can see that God is taking away his goodness from man. He is taking away the wisdom from the wise. Isaiah 29:14, “….for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.” Obadiah 8, “Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of mount Esau” They are not the best and brightest but the basest of men who are instead like children and drunkards in their decision making. “Woe to thee O land when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!” Ecc. 10:16. Colleen is going to go over a summary of the prophecy of the eagle. I will also give my class again on the United States in Judgment and I’ve added certain things to it. Let God’s will be done on earth as it is in

I want to thank God for his many blessings. I want to thank him for the truth, for his holy word, for Christ Jesus and his precious blood. I want to thank him for choosing me. God is so good to us. Everything is in his hands. The world is his and he made it. He created us from the very beginning before the foundation of the world. We need not fear what man can do. God is above all. The things that we have gone through, the hard things that we have experienced, are to bring us to perfection. We have a sure hope and a sure salvation. One day we will see amazing things, things that will astound the world. God has prepared a great deliverance for us. We look forward to the times of refreshing and the restitution of all things. But we are glad and thankful that now we have the former rain moderately to teach us righteousness and how to serve and obey God even in this time of famine. And though we cannot see God with physical eyes yet, we believe him in Spirit. And his Spirit abides with us. His Spirit has given us dreams, direct dreams that show us God’s will and intention and the things that are shortly to come to pass, as well as those things that surround us now in our time. I want to share some dreams with you because they are so relevant to us right now. And I want to encourage all of us to continue in faith and not to fear even though we may see trouble, or rather even though we will see trouble all around us. Psalms 91 will be fulfilled, but we dwell in the secret place of the Most High

Trump and he was writing on a black board and Rick and I were there. He was making sweeping economic changes. He was making sweeping changes or reforms, supposedly to make things better. He listed them on a chalkboard. He admired European architecture. He wrote ‘Architecturally, Christmasy, Easterly and then two more things that I don’t remember. All of these things are to build great buildings in the United States which would supposedly make things better. He listed the things he wanted to do. I was standing next to Rick. I told Rick, “Wait honey, it didn’t make sense. I said if you owe $30,000 and then you scrimp and save to make $30,000 but then you spend it on something else you didn’t really gain anything. It didn’t make sense.” Rick seemed to be almost afraid to answer because the man was right next to him. He said, “Whatever the Lord told you Honey.” I said, I am just trying to understand. This dream did not make sense to me because of course Donald Trump was not a politician and no one would vote for him anyway.

After I wrote the dream down, I fell back asleep and had another dream. It said that Oh yes the dream is important! This building is not just physical structures but how the government works. He’s going to change everything. This was a rich white man for president that reminded me of Donald Trump but I didn’t think it really was him. Who in the world would vote for Donald Trump? Of course this was 2007. I had another dream about Trump that explained the first dream in August of 2021. It was an explanatory dream. It said that the dream about Trump or white man for president is about a spirit force. It is the last spirit force that remains in power until the Man of Sin. I had another dream on 7/18/24. I dreamed Marjorie sent me a voice mail. She sounded strong and amused. She said Evelyn, it’s getting very late. He’s just a flash in the pan! The democratic party is going to be cut off by the throat. I seemed to wake from this dream and went to tell Rick, but I was still in a dream. He said yes but its not Trump anymore its Vance. He said something about Trump’s son. There was also something about twins but I don’t remember.

Close to the election, even though there was a lot of enthusiasm in the media and hope about Kamala Harris even to the point that I questioned the things I was told, because maybe I didn’t understand, and maybe the spirit that is on Trump would continue even on Kamala, I was told that “what God has said is going to happen will happen.” I was told, “You know what I told you.” I dreamed again that Trump won. The night of the election I prayed. I was afraid to say definitely before the church that Trump would win, just that we must watch and pray and that the spirit that is on Trump would continue. I asked God if I had been confused or maybe misunderstood what I thought was happening. That night I dreamed that the ballots were counted and Trump had won. In the morning I saw it was true.

I also saw that since the Supreme Court is stacked with conservatives and also the Senate, and we now know that the house of representatives is controlled by republicans, that the democratic party was cut off by the throat just like my dream said. I saw that the democratic party’s hope, and the hope of liberals and the left wing that Kamala Harris would be elected, was a flash in the pan. A flash in the pan is a term that means, a sudden spasmodic effort that accomplishes nothing, one that appears promising but turns out to be disappointing or worthless, something that happens only once but is not repeated. More money was given to her election. Powerful liberals and entertainers and the news media supported her. Making many think it was possible for her to win. In spite of all the enthusiasm, excitement of people and of the media, the race was not even close, and Trump had a decisive victory and a clean sweep of everything, winning not only the electoral college but the popular vote. This clean sweep was the cutting off of the throat of the democratic party. It was the left head being devoured. II Esdras 11:35, “And I beheld, and, lo, the head upon the right side devoured it that was upon the left side.” This was God’s will.

down all the way to the dregs of what he will give to them. Trump is going to cause the economy to eventually crash, though people will be deceived thinking things are getting better, and he is going to cause democracy to fall. And he is going to change how the government works. He is going to change its institutions. And it's going to hurt a lot of people. There is a scripture in Zechariah that I believe describes Trump and whoever will follow him. Zechariah chapter 11 tells about the shepherds or leaders in the world who do not feed or care for the flock. They abuse the poor and feel they are blessed because they are rich. The flock of the slaughter is the children of God who are not fed by the shepherds. Because of this God says he will no more pity the inhabitants of the land. Zechariah 11:3-6. But he said he will feed the flock himself with two staves, one called Beauty and the other called Bands. Beauty is the covenant of God and Bands is the unity of brotherhood, the gathering together of the people. He will break these staves for the wicked when he breaks his covenant that he made with the world. He will take away Beauty, which is his goodness and blessings on the wicked and Bands which will turn them one upon another to fight. And finally he spoke about the foolish shepherd that he will raise in the land. The foolish shepherd will cause great calamity and distress upon the people. Zechariah 11:15-17. I believe Trump is this foolish shepherd. And anyone following him is also the foolish shepherd having the same evil spirit that he does. Remember that the Lord told Rick that Trump is a modern day Pharaoh. And remember Isaiah 19:2-4.

God has shown us what is going to happen, but he hasn’t given us all the details, and often the things he tells us in dreams, he doesn’t give us full understanding of it. And we certainly don’t have full understanding of the scripture. We see through a glass darkly. For example, I didn’t understand the dream I had in 2007 at the time. And when Trump was elected the first time he didn’t fulfill everything the dream said, and we didn’t think he would be elected again with everything fighting against him, with his legal battles, but here he is back again. I believe he is the beginning, the face that represents the time of trouble before the man of sin. And yes, there will be troublous times before the Man of Sin! Remember that the walls and streets are built in troublous times. God has told us what is going to happen but he doesn’t tell us when it will happen. He tells us the season, but not the day or hour. We live in the time of faith. But I know that the truth is more than the bad or hard or difficult things. When you focus only on that part then you don’t see the whole truth and that can be as bad as a lie. It is deceptive. As judgment comes, God is going to feed his flock. There is going to be a great awakening. This is why things are going to get difficult. I was told that things were going to get very hard. The one prophecy of my father that I can remember is about this time that is coming. “Calamities will follow calamities in quick succession. There will be a panic. Times will be fierce and hard. The church will not believe anything until its hit. Share everything both day and night. Money, banks, panic.” I had a dream that said God was taking away pacifiers and mittens from every nation and every city. I had a dream that said there was going to be six years of panic. Who is the church? This is all of God’s children. Our eyes are open, but our brothers and sisters are asleep and comfortable. They look to Egypt for help. They don’t know God. Many are in the churches of Mystery Babylon. They must cry out to God. This is why the prophecy said the church will not believe anything until they are hit. Isaiah said “I will smite Egypt and heal it.”

This is talking about how the Lord will purge his children in Egypt through the troubles that they will go through in the last days. Remember, By suffering we are made perfect. But we are awake and aware.

ones? No! In fact I can say that as long as we are in this flesh then the things that happen to the world will affect us in some way. The shepherds of this world are not taking care of the sheep, in fact they are drinking their milk and then eating them. Prices are high, mortgages are high, some people are losing jobs, those who have them have to work harder to keep them. Its a struggle for many to make ends meet. And this is just the least that is being done now. We see injustice, violence, genocide. Believe me that some of these people who are abused and killed are children of God. Their blood cries out. Things are going to get worse. Remember Psalms 91. Am I saying these things to make you fear? Absolutely not! We are in the secret place of God. But even still we are in the midst of trouble in our lives. But God has delivered us every time. Our faith grows stronger because of our struggles and our afflictions. I had another dream that said don’t let fear cause foolishness. In the dream someone had a gun and was being reckless. I told them don’t let fear cause foolishness. The God that took care of you yesterday can take care of you today.

We cannot protect ourselves against anything. But we need not fear man. Fear God. Fear God and keep his commandments which is the whole duty of man. God wants us to have faith in him and to obey him and to wait on him with patience. And this must be proven in us. This is a sign of the remnant who believe in God in the time of Faith. This is the likeness of the 144,000. God has given us the truth in a time that is barren of faith and truth. We have gone through so much in our life times already. We have had great losses. But God has lifted us up and kept us safe in everything that has happened. We pray and fast more, we come together more as the Bible tells us to.

Hebrews 10:22-25, “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” We learn more. Our understanding continues to increase. This is a gift of God. This is grace. We are in the hands of God.

A great awakening is coming! We are awake, wearing the full armor of God, but the world is asleep. Some of those asleep are children of God. When the world is hit it will awaken the children of God. I will say that again. When the world is hit, it will awaken the children of God. When he takes away their mittens and pacifiers it will waken the children of God. When they see that Egypt cannot help them it will waken the children of God. When they fear the things going on around them, it will waken the children of God. When Babylon begins to fall it will waken the children of God. It is God’s will. It is the time of Jacob’s trouble. Zion is delivered in pain. Isaiah 52:1-2, “Awake, awake; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.” Ephesians 5:14, “Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.” I Thessalonians 5:6-7, “Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.” Remember the sleeping virgins in the parable. The night is the time of darkness without the light of Christ. It is the time of sin. Romans 13:10-14. When will he awaken his children? The bible tells us. Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51 tells us. Jeremiah 50:1-8.

I want to discuss in this class how Rome, which is the fourth kingdom that God gave to rule over the earth eventually became the Eagle. The Roman Empire according to history lasted 1000 years and ended in 476 AD. How is it that the Eagle prophesied in II Esdras chapters 11 and 12 is part of the fourth kingdom? Let us go back to the prophecy of Daniel chapter 2. Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that disturbed him and he couldn’t remember it and he wanted to know what it meant. The wise men and astrologers of course could not tell him what the dream was, so he became enraged and threatened to kill all of them. When Daniel heard about it, his life was also in danger, he prayed to the Lord to show him the dream and the interpretation. Daniel 2:19-23, Daniel 2:25-30, Daniel 2:31-35, Daniel 2:36-40 and 41-45. It is important to note verses 42-43. Parts of the feet and toes were iron mixed with miry clay. This means that part was strong and part was weak. Important also is to consider vs 44 that says, “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdom, and it shall stand forever.” This scripture lets us know that the fourth kingdom continues until the coming of the Lord. Christ hasn’t come yet. Christ will stand on Mt Olives and Zion will standard Babylon will fall. This is when the lion comes out against the eagle. Later he will come at the resurrection and the first beast will be destroyed. And later after the Marriage Supper at the Battle of Armageddon the second beast will be destroyed. That will finally end the fourth kingdom. But for now, the fourth kingdom is still in control.

Now let’s go to II Esdras 11:39-46. Remember that the eagle is what remains of the four beasts. Vs 40 says “And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with much wicked oppression; and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit.” II Esdras 12:11, “The eagle, whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel.” What is Rome, and all of the beasts mentioned in the book of Daniel? It is more than a nation of people that live and die and go to dust never to return. It is a spirit force. It is the likeness, the characteristic of these evil forces that controls the actions of the nations of mankind. What was, and is the characteristic of Rome? The bible tells us. Rome is like iron. It breaks all things, it subdues all nations and crushes them to pieces. It overcame all of the nations before it, and had power over the world with much oppression, and it ruled for a long time with deceit. It did not judge the earth with truth, “For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and has cast down the walls of such as did thee no harm.”

This is the likeness of the Roman Empire who went about to conquer the world. They did it without compassion. Rome took. They plundered and pillaged. They absorbed the good in the nations before them. Whatever they wanted they took for their own, so that we can see some of the likeness of Babylon, Medes and Persia and Greece in Rome. They devoured it, and grew fat on it. The Roman Empire that we read about lasted for 1000 years and was super wicked. It is too much for this class to explain the wickedness and corruption of the Roman Empire, or the great exploits and building and advances, and system of government. There was great wisdom and good but the evil and cruelty far overshadowed it. For that you can read about it or watch tv shows about it. It ended in 476 AD. This was the legs of iron. But the feet were next and was also a part of the fourth kingdom.

After 476, Rome divided into the Ottoman Empire and the Eastern or Russian Roman Empire in the east and the Holy Roman Empire in the west. Just like it’s mother, these other entities of the fourth kingdom were vicious and cruel. They took and plundered and crushed to pieces, but the Holy Roman Empire in particular did not have the wisdom or talent of her mother. Let’s remember just a little about the Holy Roman Empire. There was the dark ages, ignorance abounded. There were the crusades as they fought against the Ottoman Empire 1095-1300. The Lord cursed them with the bubonic plague in 1346. The Spanish Inquisition was from 1478-1834. There were religious wars in Europe during the 16th, 17th, and early 1800s. The King James Bible was translated in 1611, which was a command from the Father. This was also a time of conquest and occupying other lands. It was necessary that the word of God would go around the world. And so the new world was discovered by the white man. And the white man had all the characteristics of Rome, the fourth kingdom. He was hard as iron, subdued all and crushed to pieces those who were less powerful than him. The so called Holy Roman Empire lasted about 1000 years, like her mother until the Napoleonic wars in 1806.

By then the United States was independent of Great Britain who had ruled the world in the same manner as her Roman forbears, with harshness, stripping and conquering and occupying and being cruel and oppressive to weaker nations so that the sun never set on Great Britain. Eventually the United States became a great nation. One of the most heinous things was the slavery of black Africans, from which came the remnant of Israel, that were taken as property to build this country. And so the lost tribes of Israel came here and suffered the worse slavery and abuse in history. God also hated the cruelty that the United States subjected the native Americans to. They not only took their land they slaughtered them. They purposely and systematically went out to kill all of them.

Colleen and Marjorie interpreted the prophecy of the Eagle showing the beginning of her great power from Herbert Hoover who was president from 1929 to 1933. He was a very wicked man and the country almost fell during the great depression which was from 1929-1939. But the United States recovered. And it grew and prospered. God blessed it with great inventions, greater than all that were before them. And during my lifetime I witnessed a change from two great super powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, to one great super power over all, the United States. And the United States has the exact same characteristics as Rome, the mother of the fourth kingdom.

Today knowledge and technology has increased and the United States is the greatest power with the greatest weapons, the greatest economy and her influence covers the whole world. But the prophecy of Daniel is true in everything it says. The feet and toes, which are the last part of the fourth kingdom is partly mixed with miry clay and iron. There are many weak nations. The iron kingdom, like toes on feet, are also divided into parts. Daniel 2:41 says, “And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” As it is today there are strong nations and there are weak nations.

But even though there is much travel and immigration, as well as people speaking different languages, and the internet sharing information around the world, the nations do not join forces and become one world nation. Not yet. They shall not cleave one to another. Each country have their own language and their own traditions that they hold sacred. There is much xenophobia, which is the fear or dislike of anything that is perceived as foreign or strange. Even within the nations there are divisions of power. One group strives to overcome another. There is much racism. One group always wants to usurp whoever has the most power. They are power hungry, which is their nature. They do not trust those who look, speak and act differently than they do. There is much fighting around the world. One country wants to take over another country. This will continue until Christ comes on Mt Olives. This is the fall of Babylon. When Zion stands Babylon falls. As it says in Daniel 2:44, “In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”

Finally, one last thing. The beast empire is part of the fourth kingdom also. This is its final version or form. It differs from the eagle in that it comes together as one government united against Christ. Mystery Babylon is destroyed as well as all previous governments that were found to be weak and ineffective against the power of Christ and Zion.

An

Addendum to the Prophecy of the Eagle

States as the eagle and maps out the lineage of its leadership through the "feathers" of the wings, the State of the Nation focuses specifically on the sequence of power through these 3 leaders, Obama, Trump and Biden. This is an ongoing prophecy that has not been completely fulfilled. However, by narrowing the lens onto the most recent administrations, this study bridges the gap between ancient symbolic foretelling and the tangible political realities of the 21st century. By studying these three leaders, it becomes clear how the current political climate serves as the direct fulfillment of the warnings revealed in the scriptures.

remember I along with many of my peers considered him to be the “cool president.” I distinctly remember watching him play the saxophone on late night tv and watching him on MTV news answering questions posed by the youth of this country. The Bill Clinton era boasted a time of great economic affluence in the US. It was also during this time that technology began to transform our nation though widespread adoption of the Internet. However, his legacy was marred by the Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones scandals with him being impeached in 1998 by the House but acquitted by the Senate.

What stands out the most during his presidency was of course the September 11 attacks in 2001. I remember working in the Enrollment Center at IUPUI and it is a day I will never forget. Our office was flooded with phone calls from terrified students and parents asking if the university would be on lockdown and what would happen to the city of Indianapolis. The 9/11 attacks led to the War on Terror, initiated by the Bush Administration. This war cost over $8 trillion and resulted in the deaths of over 929,000 people All of this, for weapons of mass destruction that were never found!

because of the 2008 financial crisis and the government’s handling of Hurricane Katrina. America was shifting towards darker times. It seemed that common good and intelligence, for that matter, was at an all time low with the leaders in this country. One mistake after another, and American was in a downward spiral. Although, still considered the most powerful nation in the world, America had weakened both politically and financially and this would continue to happen as years went on.

Lot. Most of the saints are blind, deaf and asleep. But our church is awake and we must dig up the truth that has been buried. We must be watchmen, looking for the signs of the times and the falling away of this nation and the entire world. So I want to take you though the last 18 years of this country’s ever changing political landscape, placing emphasis on 3 presidents, Obama, Trump and Biden.

system of wickedness making this president different from all before him. In her dream about Biden he represented the failure of good in the system. As we discuss each of these presidents we will see these dreams are now a reality.

On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama was elected to be the first African American President of the free world. He would be the 44th president to serve. I remember being glued to my couch in astonishment that a black man was going to be the most powerful man in the world. The day he was sworn into office, I recall being in grad school and the teacher let us watch his inauguration on TV. I was one of 2 black students in a predominately white classroom and I was in tears but they were tears of joy. You see, I got swept up into the wave of emotions that many others like me felt, not realizing the plan that God had.

climate in society had ushered in where relations between blacks and whites seemed to improve. Was there a glimmer of hope? Not even close. The reality is, the Lord put a spirit on the people in this country in order to put a Obama, a black man, into office. And this facade of acceptance in the US for African Americans would soon disappear shortly into his presidency.

brought forth both good and evil in this country. The good provided God’s children with reprieve and the means to sustain and occupy on this earth. This is because of God’s mercy. However, the evil showed us that the world is falling away and the end is near. All of this is God’s will as He renders judgment measure by measure on America (2 Esdras 4: 37).

2009 to 2011, Obama’s relationship with congress led to major legislative victories, including the Affordable Care Act and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for example. However, these key accomplishments were largely due to the fact that Democrats dominated both the House and the Senate at the time. And it should be mentioned that these bills received little to no support from the Republicans. Regardless, the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare as it is famously called, made health insurance more affordable and accessible with the national uninsured rate dropping to a record low of 7.7% At the core of this healthcare reform is the following:

funding to expand medicaid, thus extending coverage to nearly 20 million low income adults.

Banning insurance companies from denying coverage or charging higher premiums to people with pre-existing medical conditions.

Allowing young adults to remain on their parents' health insurance plans until they turn 26. Preventing insurance companies from putting caps on the amount of care they will pay for over a patient's lifetime.

This healthcare bill benefited Americans, including the saints, many of which are amongst marginalized groups and the poor (Proverbs 19: 17).

There is also the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, passed in February 7, 2009. This bill included a whopping $787 billion economic stimulus package with the goal of creating jobs, providing temporary relief programs and investing in infrastructure, education and renewable energy. All of this done to combat the Great Recession. Some of the temporary relief programs of this act should be noted such as, expanded unemployment benefits, increased SNAP (food stamps) and the Medicaid fiscal relief. These policies, again, provided a safeguard for the poor and underprivileged. We can further see that though Obama was not a righteous man, it was the Lord that spearheaded these decisions through him so that the doors of mercy would remain open for His children and sons of men alike (Matthew 5: 45, Psalms 103: 13-14, Lamentations 3: 22-23,

But what of the evil? President Barack Obama significantly advanced LGBTQ+ rights in the United States. In 2010, for example, he signed the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Repeal Act,” allowing the LGBTQ+ community to serve openly in the US Military. The repeal of DOMA was in 2011. DOMA, also known as the Defense of Marriage Act was a 1996 U.S. federal law that defined marriage exclusively as a union between a man and a woman, as it should be according to the law of God (Genesis 2: 24). Obama’s administration deemed this law to be unconstitutional. This helped pave the way for equal marriage recognition for sodomites. And by 2012, Obama publicly supported and endorsed equal marriage rights for samegender couples, becoming the first sitting US president to do so. During 2015, Obama touted that the Supreme Court decision that legalized same-gender marriages nationwide, was in fact, a victory for this country. In other words, he helped opened the floodgates for sodomy! This was abominable and showed that we were and continue to live in the Days of Lot and it is getting worst (Luke 17: 28-30). It also shows that there is a famine of truth in this world. -98-

“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” Luke 17:26 - 28

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.”

Amos 8: 11-12

Notably towards the end of Obama’s first term, race relations continued to strain as police brutality against blacks increased. Though this is not something that President Obama brought on himself, it is important to mention as it showcases the amount of hate and violence that increased in this country. Remember, we are living in the Days of Noah. For example, in 2012, Trayvon Martin, an African American teen, was walking home from a trip to a convenience store and was fatally shot by a Hispanic male by the name of George Zimmerman in Sanford, FL. Zimmerman, a member of the community watch, saw Martin and reported him to the Sanford Police as suspicious. An altercation happened and Zimmerman fatally shot Martin in the chest. This was obviously a hate crime yet Zimmerman was acquitted of the charges, prompting the establishment of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in 2013. The BLM movement continued to gain enormous traction in 2014, going from primarily online to the streets, following the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York.

During this time, the nation was very divided, especially between blacks and whites. Although there were whites who joined the BLM movement, many whites, particularly Republicans and the older demographic felt this group was dangerous. Instead, they showed little empathy for the black lives taken and showed high support for the police force, no matter the wrong they were doing.

Obama desperately tried to heal America, which is the capital of this world Babylon. But you see, Babylon could not be healed no matter how hard he tried. In Jeremiah 51: 8-9 “Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.” Obama would soon find that his efforts to save this country would be futile as the political climate shifted and Republicans took control of Congress. This shift led to a divided government and clashes over the federal budget and debt ceiling, prompting Obama to bypass Capitol Hill in order to implement his policy goals.

Despite these challenges, President Obama is considered to be a popular president, leaving office in January 2017 with nearly a 60% approval rating after serving 2 concurrent terms. To this day, he is considered to be the highest ranking political figure among US Adults, with Historians often ranking him as the 12th greatest president in US history. But in the eyes of God, he is merely a man and a tool used to help bring both good and evil to this country that still has an effect on us to this very day. Amen.

Although Obama was considered a popular president, America’s perception of his administration was heavily divided strictly across party lines. Democrats argued that Obama created the longest run of job creation in US history, which helped stabilize the economy after the Great Recession of 2008. On the other hand, Republicans felt the economy was sluggish with slow GDP growth and heavy national debt. Blue collar workers in the Rust Belt, who are predominantly white, (stretching through western New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan) suffered greatly from this recession and felt overlooked by Obama who focused more on recovery efforts for Wall Street Institutions. Collage graduates and young job seekers were also frustrated due to underemployment and felt abandoned by the Obama administration.

There was a sharp racial divide amongst youth perception of the former president. People of color overwhelmingly held favorable views of his administration. However, white millennials felt the Obama administration caused further racial tension and political divisiveness. Finally, the legalization of samegender marriage, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and demographic shifts created fear among traditional, religious, and conservative voters that were also predominantly white. All of these factors contributed to Americans demanding change. People grew tired of the political elites and opted for a political outsider, hence the rise of Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is perhaps the most controversial politician known in US history. In fact, he did not even start out as a politician. He was a businessman born to wealth and a TV personality, particularly made famous on shows like the “Apprentice.” When he speaks, he is not polished like many politicians. Instead he is blunt, direct and off the script with no attempt to be politically correct. He often uses “America First” rhetoric to help further his appeal, particularly with white working class Americans, who make up 41% of the U.S. eligible electorate.

Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. His win shook the nation and was totally unexpected by the media, political analysts and the public for that matter. But it was God that wanted Trump in office. On January 20, 2017, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th president.

President Trump’s first term (2017-2021) centered on shifting to more conservative policies. In 2017, he passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and doubled the standard deduction for individuals. The corporate tax cuts primarily benefited the rich and corporations, driving up the national deficit.

He also ensured a conservative majority in federal courts by appointing 200 federal judges and more notably appointing three Supreme Court Justices—Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett (From L to R the first 3 individuals in the photo standing up), which left a six-justice majority of Republican appointees in the current Supreme court. This shift in leadership has already significantly impacted issues that include the death penalty, abortion, racial equality, LGBTQ rights, church and state, gun rights, environmental protection and immigration.

For example, the 6 ruled that affirmative action in college and university admissions violates constitutional equal protection. This ruling disregards that racial inequality in society and college admissions exists. The ramification of this ruling means hindering minorities access to higher education. In New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, the Six did away with the state’s more than century-old law which required a “proper cause” to carry a handgun outside the home. They deemed the state’s requirement as a violation of an individual’s Second Amendment right of firearm self-defense. But we have seen too many times what happens when guns get in the wrong hands. Studies consistently link increased firearm availability to higher rates of firearm homicide and suicide.

Trump weakened America’s foreign relations through imposed tariffs on allies and adversaries with the goal of reducing trade deficits. He also withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and successfully negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace NAFTA, an agreement that was in existence for 26 years.

Trump’s stance on immigration has been highly controversial, revealing an aggressive and racist approach. He called for a complete ban on Muslims entering the country and he used disparaging remarks when referring to Mexican and Haiti immigrants as well as African Nations. He pushed for funding to construct a wall along the U.S.–Mexico border to curb illegal crossings and enhance border security. And nearly all unauthorized individuals became targets for deportation, threatening separation of families.

A major blunder in his presidency was during 2020 when the COVID pandemic began. Trump repeatedly downplayed the disease, often contradicting public health officials and what his own staff were saying. He admitted in an interview that he intentionally downplayed the effects of COVID to prevent panic but this of course did not work. Trump also faced medical and political pushback after suggesting that disinfectants and UV light were potential treatments for the COVID. With 377,883 deaths from COVID in US in 2020 alone, this country is still reeling from the long term effects of this disease.

One cannot discuss Trump’s presidency without mentioning his impeachment. He is in fact the only president in history that has been impeached on two separate occasions. The first impeachment stems from a phone call Trump made in 2019 to Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky. Allegedly, Trump wanted to leverage military assistance to Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into his political rival at the time, Joe Biden. This was deemed an abuse of power and obstruction to Congress. However, he was acquitted by the Sensate in 2020.

The second impeachment stemmed from the January 6 Capital Riot in 2021 where armed Trump supporters stormed the US Capital in protest of Joe Biden winning the election. They wanted to keep Trump in power by all means necessary and attempted to prevent a joint session of Congress from counting the Electoral College votes, thereby making official the victory of then president-elect Joe Biden. Trump used social media as a means to fan the flames and encourage his supporters to use violent tactics to keep him in office. In a matter of 36 hours, five people died and many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Within 7 months, 4 officers who responded to the attack died by suicide. The damage that resulted from the attack surpassed $2.7 million. This attack on Capital Hill is the only attempted overthrow of the federal government in the history of the United States. As a result, the House charged Trump with inciting insurrection against the government. Again, he was later acquitted by the Senate. Ultimately, Joe Biden took office on January 20, 2021. But this would not be the last time we would hear from Donald J. Trump.

Spiritually speaking, Trump, like Satan, opposes everything that God stands for. The Lord spreads love. Trump spreads hate and has given a voice to white supremacist groups and racists throughout the country. The Lord promotes unity amongst brethren and is a God of order and peace. Trump promotes chaos and disrupts the peace as we could see with him encouraging the January 6 Capital Riot. He also has spread division within the US, promoting tension between racial groups and has further isolated this country by creating less than harmonious relations with foreign nations. God spreads truth. Trump, like his father the devil, blatantly lies every time he opens his mouth. His supporters are quite fanatic and believe whatever he says, whether true or not. A spirit has been placed on the people and as it says in 2 Thessalonians 2: 11-12, “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” He is the modern day Pharaoh but we will shed more on this comparison when we discuss his second term on a different day. Amen.

Joe Biden the 46th President tried to heal this country. Biden entered office amid the Covid-19 pandemic, an economic crisis and increased political polarization. He tried to revert some of the things the Trump administration did but ultimately his presidency failed.

prophecy.

Even though Biden wasn't explicitly mentioned in the bible, things transpired in his presidency that led to the re-election of Donald Trump. According to man's reasoning, this should not have happened. Trump shouldn't have become president again. But man's reasoning does not govern the world. God does! “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:” Daniel 2:21

Biden's presidency was directly affected by God's power and will. Many were amazed at the unraveling of President Biden and his power base. What happened speaks of God's uncanny ability to alter world events.

Joe Biden was well known and respected within the Democratic party. He was a six term senator from Delaware, and came from a blue collar background. He was known for standing up for the working and middle classes during his career. He resigned his seat to become Vice President under Obama in 2009. I must admit, I was surprised Obama chose him. Because in 2007, Biden gave a controversial interview stating: “I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean…” Many interpreted this as a racial insult disguised as a compliment. Nevertheless, Biden became Vice President under Obama.

election, promising to “Restore the Soul of America.” These words enticed the public who were downtrodden by the Covid 19 pandemic, a bad economy, and a sense that things were going downhill in America under Trump, which culminated with a violent insurrection on January 6th.

Biden oversaw the prosecution of Trump and his proxies for January 6th. Trump was indicted four times with a total of over 90 criminal counts spanning multiple states. His future appeared to be doomed. He spent months in and out of courtrooms. Many of his supporters were under investigation and/or sent to prison. MAGA was a dirty word.

In the beginning, Biden seemed to restore hope and order. The belief in the American dream was somewhat revitalized. Biden oversaw a massive spending spree to save the economy, and to help the poor and working classes. Much of the spending was for good. The Lord touched Biden, as he touched Obama, to help people in need.

programs. He spent more on the poor than Obama did. He expanded the child tax and earned income credit and passed laws lowering prescription drug prices for Medicare recipients. He gave 400 billion in stimulus checks and spent 200 billion to expand unemployment benefits.

Biden also increased SNAP and Medicaid payments and benefits. There were billions put into rental assistance, public housing and first time home buyer support. Biden created jobs. He invested 1.2 trillion in the nation's roads, bridges & public transport. His administration saw explosive job growth compared to the Covid economy.

Biden revitalized NATO which faltered under Trump. He led an international coalition to support Ukraine against the Russians.

Inflation began to overshadow the economy. (Historic 40 year inflation). All the money spent was not entirely on helping the poor. He also spent 1.6 Trillion on environmental policy. Some say his massive spending could have contributed to the overheating of the economy. Nevertheless, He lost support from many veterans because of the 2021 exit from Afghanistan.

There were record levels of immigration when Biden was president. This further inflamed the right!

Sodomy exploded under Biden. He was instrumental in celebrating and promoting it, both as Vice President, and President. Biden gave a public endorsement of sodomite marriage in 2012, before Obama ever did. This put pressure on Obama to announce his support merely days later. No matter the cause, Obama still supported it. This enabled Republican's extreme hatred and vitriol for Democrats. They saw the U.S. descending into moral decay. (As violence exponentially increased, so did sodomy. We have been living in the times of Noah & Lot for a while.)

Not only was sodomite marriage now legal, (which allowed health insurance coverage for “spouses”) but it further publicly promoted sodomy in many different ways. This included movies, music, sports and even incarceration laws (transgender men could be locked up in a female prison). Sodomite men could now use the women's bathroom. The insane acts of these abominations spread like wildfire, invoking both cheer, and extreme anger and wrath. (People on the right were ready to do physical harm to people.)

2015 saw the birth of Drag queen story hour in which Sodomites toured the country to visit churches, synagogues, public libraries, day care centers, elementary schools, fire stations, hospitals, and military bases. Children in grade schools were allowed to change their preferred names indicating gender. Laws were passed where teenage children were allowed to have surgery to change their nature without having to get permission from their parents. Much of this abomination grew under Biden's presidency. Though it started under Obama, Biden initially encouraged it as Vice President. This is what prompted the Christian right and even former democrats to coalesce around Trump.

Not long after the attack committed by Hamas against Israelis on October 7, 2023, Biden traveled to Israel and literally embraced Netanyahu, offering his full diplomatic and military support for his administration’s massive assault on Gaza. The president dispatched U.S. aircraft carriers to the region and pushed massive military aid packages through Congress. Israel’s military campaign in Gaza has devastated the Palestinian population, leading to tens of thousands of casualties, the mass displacement of over 90% of Gazans, and severe destruction of essential infrastructure like healthcare, education, and housing. This was cold and merciless attack that America supported. This is an example of the Northern Spirit that is on the rise in this country and throughout the globe. The Northern spirit on the side of Satan, despises life of all kind, having no mercy for the innocent and seeks to destroy it. America basically gave Israel a blank check in order to render evil and hatred towards the Palestinians. And this is still going on even today. While a phased ceasefire deal was agreed upon, ongoing hostilities, routine air strikes, and expanding buffer zones persist.

Republicans attacked Biden's age. For example, special counsel, Robert Hur didn't seek to prosecute Biden for holding classified files at his home. He publicly stated in Feb. 2024 that Biden was a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” In the months and weeks leading up to the debate, Republicans constantly attacked Biden even posting memes and videos of Biden falling and forgetting words in speeches. Democrats largely ignored these type of attacks until Biden's disastrous debate performance. Biden performed very poorly at the debate. Democrats were horrified at his performance. Anger and distrust begin to appear within the party.

Biden stumbled over words and phrases. He was hoarse. There were pauses between his words and bewildered looks on his face that seemingly indicated loss of memory. Recently, an article from CNN said that Jill Biden was worried Joe was having a stroke during the 2024 debate. Jill stated “I was frightened because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never.”

The debate destroyed the hopes of Biden winning. Democrats & Republicans both knew it. Democrats begin to fear the unthinkable: another Trump presidency. Biden's pride prevented him from stepping down sooner. He wouldn't listen to top leaders in the party. Biden gave an energetic speech hours after the debate. He didn't fumble words, and hit some strong and foreboding points. He said American democracy was at stake, freedom & America itself was at stake. The speech was well received. But the damage was done. Trust in Biden's team had already eroded.

Four weeks after the debate Biden stepped down and supported his Vice President Kamala Harris to run. Kamala entered the race and gave it new energy and hope. Kamala was no stranger to politics. Younger than both Biden and Trump, she was intelligent and articulate. She was popular with the youth and had many celebrity endorsements. She defeated Trump in the debates. Trump stayed on the defensive and seemed unhinged. Her experience as a prosecutor was shining. Republicans admitted Kamala won the debate, and they soon began to panic. Trump refused to debate Kamala again. Many polls showed Harris soundly winning the presidential race against Trump. This didn't happen. “ This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most high ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.” Daniel 4:17 Many Democrats may have a very difficult time understanding that it's God who didn't want Biden or Harris to win. While Republicans celebrated their victory, they also didn't understand why the Lord raised up Donald Trump. Amen.

Given Trump’s previous performance as president and the fact that he is a convicted felon, one would wonder how on earth did he get voted into office again. This of course was due to a spirit placed upon the people. However, lets dig further. Gallup polling shows that 54% of Americans viewed Biden’s presidency as “poor” and “below average.” In fact, 4 out of 10 Americans felt they were in a worse state financially than before the Biden administration. Also, historical polling showed a decline in positive views, especially among younger and minority demographics who supported him in the 2020 election. When he sought reelection, his performance during the June 2024 election sparked concerns over his age and cognitive ability to win the race. This served as the catalyst behind Biden dropping out of the race, as he received pressure from Democrats. Kamala Harris replaced Biden as the Democratic nominee. And though there was some excitement over the idea that a woman of color could be president, and there were prospects of her winning, God did not want her in office. For the election of 2024, Trump’s win was massive. He won 312 Electoral College votes to Harris' 226.

In his first week of office, he dismantled Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs within the public and private sectors that advance equal opportunity. This prevents lawful efforts to use criteria based on race, color, religion, gender or national origin to hire individuals. This is simply an agenda based on division and hate.

To decrease federal spending and shrink the government he initiated a program called DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). This resulted in massive layoffs of civil servants. Under the Trump administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations have increased greatly via the 2025 OBBBA (Omnibus Border and Border-Security Act). Trump has in fact increased the agency’s budget, pushing for mass deportations. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding ICE. Recently, an immigration enforcement program known as “Operation Metro Surge,” deployed thousands of ICE agents to the state of Minnesota. This lead to widespread arrests and fatal shootings by federal agents of civilian protestors including Renee Good and Alex Pretti. These fatal shootings igniting community protests with thousands of people taking to street to speak out against ICE and the Trump administration. Even state and local leaders began to heavily criticized Trump and the presence of ICE agents within Minnesota. Eventually, Trump agreed to draw down the operation by significantly decreasing the amount of ICE agents in this state.

Relations with foreign nations are further strained under the Trump administration. For example, he has imposed new tariffs, including a 10% tariff on imports from China. And most recently, he authorized strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as well as a major attack on Iran in February 2026. Recent attacks in Iran resulted in the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, plus dozens of top Iranian officials. This attack on Iran has also led to a regional fuel crisis with gas prices sky high.

AI is of particular interest and warrants discussion due to the current use of it in this country, particularly by President Trump. First lets provide a simple definition for AI. AI is computer technology designed to think and learn like humans. AI systems can process information, recognize patterns, solve problems, and make decisions on their own. Even if you are leery of technology and may not be the most savvy with it, you are likely using AI without even realizing it. For example, if you have a smartphone, AI is used for facial recognition features and smart digital assistants. Platforms, such as Netflix, use AI to recommend shows based on programs you have gravitated to in the past. Google Maps uses AI to calculate the fastest and most convenient routs by assessing traffic patterns in real-time. Companies frequently use Chatbots, which are virtual assistants, that can understand human language to enable automated customer service. These capabilities of AI serve as a convenience in society.

However, there is a dark side to AI, made evident through Trump, who uses AI as a primary form of communication and a political weapon. He has been known to post AI generated photos and fake videos to troll critics and political opponents on social platforms like Truth Social and X. For example, he posted a video of him being portrayed as a king flying in a jet labeled “King Trump” while dropping excrement on demonstrators. He posted a racist AI video, poking fun at the Obamas. There was recently a blasphemous photo of him circulating on the Internet with him being portrayed as Christ healing America. He also posted a video of throwing comedian, Stephen Colbert, who has been critical of the president, into a dumpster.

On the regulatory side, Trump values AI innovation over AI safety. Earlier in May of this year, Trump backed out of signing an executive order that would address safety concerns with AI. And he also scaled back safety regulations and constraints with AI that Biden put into place. He admitted that that he wanted to secure leadership over China in global AI Development. To date, Congress has not passed any legislation around AI so it is developing rapidly without any safety measures. This poses risk for the country and its citizens.

For instance, AI if left unchecked, can be used as a guide to hurt people. Only last year, a Phoenix Ikner went to Florida State University to commit a mass shooting. He wounded six people and killed two. It was later revealed that ChatGPT, an AI tool from OpenAI, had apparently fed his anger and encouraged him! There was also a recent incident at the University of South Florida that involved the murder of 2 graduate students, Nahida Bristy and Zamil Limon. A 26 year old Hisham Abugharbieh, was charged for allegedly asking chatbot about the disposal and discovery of a body. There is even growing concerns that AI will eventually be used to set-up military attacks or target banking systems of countries.

It should be mentioned that 46% of people view AI as negative while only 38% hold a positive view. And 65% of Americans, nearly two-thirds, feel the government is not doing enough to regulate AI. However, this is being disregarded by the Trump administration.

I haven’t covered everything that Trump has done, otherwise, this class would be never-ending. But you can see the significant damage he has caused to this nation and how it impacts us thus far. In the previous lesson on Trump I talked about how he opposes everything that God stands for, drawing a comparison between him and Satan. I now want to discuss how he is liken to a modern day Pharaoh, with Egypt being this world. Recall how Egypt was systematically destroyed plague by plague, as the foolish king repeatedly hardened his heart and refused to submit to God. Instead, Pharaoh thought of himself as God, yet he was unable to preserve Egypt from God’s judgment. Pharaoh did not realize he was merely a puppet and a tool God used to punish Egypt for what they did to his people and to show his power. In Romans 9: 17, “For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.”

God is rendering judgement on this world, starting with America. We use the time with Pharaoh in Egypt to draw a parallel to what we are experiencing now. Trump is like a dictator and in his arrogance and pride, he feels he is exempt from the laws of the land. Like Pharaoh, his heart is hardened and he will not listen to sound advice. He thinks he is like God and it is through his power alone that America can be healed. He wants to make America great again or shall we say white again by using a racist, misogynistic and hyper-nationalist approach. But little does he know, the very country he loves is being destroyed because of policies he has put in to place. Who knows what he will do next. But we must continue to be watchmen, waiting for this country to the fall, so that we can rise and gain eternal salvation. Amen.
