I am sure some have wondered what it would be like just before the tribulation events begin. We may now be finding that out. The Bible implies that astute believers would see the day approaching and would not be caught unaware. America is not in Bible prophecy, so something happens to remove America as the major player in the world and as a protectorate of Israel. This downfall of America may already be underway.
The riots in America are happening because the far left controlling the blue areas of this nation want them to happen. The deep state coup against Trump is failing so the left saw the George Floyd killing at the knee of a police officer as the opportune time to bring out their own political action committees named Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM). The goal is to tear down the capitalist system and replace it with international socialism.
Don’t underestimate the radical left movement in America. They already took over the largest party and highly influence the other. The leaders of this movement were educated under Marxist ideologues in our universities. The indoctrinated graduates of these Marxist universities now dominate the deep state. They also control many states and almost all of our big cities. Those promoting the socialist agenda are the ones being advanced to fill new leadership positions just about everywhere. They also control media, most large corporations, tax free foundations, and most religious institutions. The insurrection taking place in the streets of America today was not the result of police abuse of a black man. This has been planned for a long time. They have tried to kick it off previously but getting enough people into the streets to start the communist revolution failed until now.
The radical leftists just got handed the perfect storm. The coronavirus shutdowns first produced vast numbers of idle people. Then the killing of George Floyd put many of those idle people in the streets in protest. Antifa and other far left radicals saw that as the opportunity they were looking for to kick off the revolution. Paid leftist agitators hijacked the Floyd demonstrations by setting fires and agitating riots Then street thugs viewed the police stand downs as their license to steal whatever they want.
The mayors of these cities could have stopped the rioting, looting and burning, but they told the police to back off. Leftist leaders also made it possible for criminals to get out of prison and for those arrested in the riots to be released without bail. In some cities those arrested were not even charged by leftist prosecutors. The same Democrat leaders that would not allow people out of their houses or even allow people to attend church because of the coronavirus, were perfectly willing to allow looting and burning. They allow it because the leadership of these blue cities are complicit with a communist insurrection.
It looks like this is going to be a long hot summer. The officer involved is not likely to be convicted of murder, so there are sure to be more flash points ahead. And policing the out of control streets could produce endless new flash points. Having the military in the streets could be part of the new normal that everyone is looking forward to. Antifa and BLM are counting on it.
I expected great social unrest in America because of the unemployment and what will become a depression, but only after the give away programs ran out. Government now will not dare let them run out. That means the Fed will continue to counterfeit money and the dollar will become worth less in the future if not become totally worthless.
It’s not just in America. The funny money printing is happening worldwide. Many nations are printing their own funny money. Nobody trusts their money so they buy dollars with it. That keeps the value of the dollar high even through the Fed is creating dollars like there is no tomorrow. The dollar will crash when enough nations get sick of the dollar being the only game in town. At some point they will get together to establish a different world currency. The crash of the dollar will be a future major crisis for America.
Seems America has now entered a period where there will be one crisis after another. Is a war with China the next crisis? China believes that America is falling apart and can do little about what they are doing to take over the world. The Chinese Communist Party just eliminated any freedom in Hong Kong. China also is ramping up the dispute on the Indian border and is in heated trade disputes with Australia. Will the CCP see the problems in America as the opportune time to move against Taiwan? We may soon find out.
The left will go all out to steal the 2020 election from President Trump. Trump finally is taking some action against the social media platforms mostly because they flagged him, but he is doing far too little too late. As we get closer to the elections, pro Trump media will increasingly disappear. There also is sure to be election fraud all over the place. Believe it or not, senile Joe Biden is leading Trump by a lot. The thought of Biden picking a radical leftist for his running mate makes me cringe.
If Trump somehow still wins the election, the leftist war against what he stands for will continue. It will be an outright insurrection. The far left radicals will assassinate law enforcement people and bomb targets. They plan to launch surprise attacks in white rural areas. Keep in mind, that Antifa’s goal is to bring the American Republic down. BLM has already declared war on all cops. The radical leftists believe they can bring America down by causing more race and class division leading to civil warfare between them. The leftist media will be busy fanning the flames.
If the far left hijacked Democratic Party wins the 2020 elections, the American experiment is over. We will be living under socialist tyranny. Only revolution and secession could then hinder the complete takeover of America. Obviously, that would happen. Many living in the rural areas know where socialist tyranny would try to take them and they will not be willing to go there.
So no matter who wins the 2020 election the future of America does not look good. Trump really needs to round up and shut down the leftists that are subverting our nation. He will not do that because he is being misled and is much too worried about his image.
America is not going to recover from the ill-advised shutdowns carried out under Trump’s watch. He will talk endlessly about a great recovery but funny money, smoke and mirrors is not going to make America great again. It will just transfer more wealth to the top few percent and cause more social upheaval among the bottom feeders.
Trump has proven that he does not know how to clean house. From the start, Trump picked deep state people who stabbed him in the back at first chance. He does not do his homework to vet people and proves to be a lousy judge of character. He will not even remove the undue influence in the White House of his own liberal daughter and son-in-law. Trump cannot even discern that his top spiritual advisor channels demons. The Washington swamp obviously will not be drained by Trump. Maybe an act of God will put Mike Pence in office. Not that I think he would have what it takes to deal with the reprobate leftists destroying our nation.
It looks to me like America will be in a depression or in an inflationary spiral until the middle-class is totally wiped out and the international socialists take over. This could be true all over the world. Wages and government handouts will eventually fail, but prices and taxes will just keep going up. There is a day coming soon when it will take a day’s wages to just buy enough food to keep yourself alive (Rev 6:6). People all over the world will soon be looking for a savior. The reprobates will find the one that they have been looking for. The downfall of America would be a major indicator that the Day of the Lord is imminent.
the kingdom of the Lord has drawn near
I see the Laodicean goat feeders (Joel Osteen, John Hagee, Paula White, Tony Evans, etc) are stepping up for some “Blackout Tuesday” event.
Yes, Tony Evans is a Laodicean.
Whereas John The Baptist stated “I must become less and Jesus must become more”, also echoed in writing / deed by Apostle Paul, the Laodicean’s are obsessed with their own celebrity and ego’s to concern themselves with pointing the way to Jesus and His return.
It is exciting times and scary times. We need to be looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith as we move ahead toward the Blessed Hope.
Even during these awful times, I can report that my wife and I and the people in our small church are at peace. It is not of our own doing, but Jesus has given us peace and the assurance of what ultimately lies ahead for all of us true believers.
Don, I greatly appreciate your blogs and the comments that come from your followers. Keep up the good work!
I think the transfer of the UN to the EU and the fall of the dollar as the reserve currency may happen fairly close together. Kinda makes sense.
I do wonder what the next crisis will be. The economy is actually surging right now as businesses open up. Conveniently timed with the riots I might add, like all the other attacks on Trump.
I actually fear for Trump. The enemy has flung almost everything they could at him with no avail. He should probably be extra careful until the election. Im sure SS is on top of it.
I think the rapture is very likely to be the catalyst for the final nail in the coffin for the US. America would be the country most affected by it even counting all the CINO. For the US to collapse it would need to be a huge event that severely affected the entire country. I think only an EMP, a true civil war, or the rapture could do it.
The 6th day is almost up. If God has a 7000 year plan for humanity then things have to start happening. It’s now or never. If Jesus died no later than 35 AD then we have AT MOST 8 years. We will soon see if this whole theory is even credible. If it’s not then, well, that’s very depressing. America’s days are numbered either way.
Hi Jim,
The 6th day might be up before 2035 if Jesus died at the end of the fourth day. However, we cannot know for sure that He did. The theory really depends on the dating of creation, but we do not know that either.
Hi Don:
Thank you for the article. It echoes my own thoughts and concerns but in a more organized and less chaotic manner. Do you believe, as I do, that President Trump’s life becomes more in danger on a daily basis? I fear “they” probably see his death as a short-cut to their achieving their goals. My husband and I pray every day for the President and Vice-Presidents safety and spiritual strength and discernment. Although, like you I often question Trump’s personal spiritual commitment.
Hi Bev,
Trump’s life has been in great danger for 4 years but he has a lot of security around him. He will be in the most danger if he starts showing up at rallies again. Even so, I don’t think leftists would want Pence taking over. So any would be assassins might be waiting for an opportunity to take them both out at the same time. Therefore, they should not be appearing together even at the Republican convention.
I watched Andy Woods live stream today, pretty informative but it was long. Trump definitely needs the sense slapped into him. Elections dont matter if we aint got a country.
They ended their podcast with this from 1st Timothy 2 : 1-3
“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and Thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings, and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”
Don your website is a wealth of information, I found out about Andy Woods through your page as well. Thanks so much for all the time, work, and energy you put into it. And for putting up with me and my emails.
I hope in the rapture, but I do still struggle with fear. Young kids, wanting to do what my wife and I can to lead them to Christ. If He comes really soon I dont worry about it I think kids go in rapture, at least believers kids. What I worry about is him tarrying a few years and my wife and I going but the kids being left. My wife has a ton of lost and depraved family we hope to see saved.
May God bless you all and keep you safe.
That’s why I say the rapture might be a dream come true to the radical godless left. Possibly Trump and definitely Pence would disappear. Pelosi gets to be president for little while like she always wanted!
Don, lots of crazy things going on in Buffalo, not far from where you were from.
Homeland security is taking a leading role in law enforcement of the city instead of local police and sherrifs, at least at command level. Also the entire company around 50 members of a civil disorder force resigned because 1 member pushed an elderly protester. What?! Makes no sense! Aren’t you glad you left? This is what I have to deal with.
Hi Jim,
I just read the story about the guy in Buffalo being pushed by police officers. The mass resignations from the task force was in support of the officers doing the pushing. I do not know what people expect from the police when they willfully violate the city curfew.
I grew up in Buffalo and have relatives living there. I only lived around the Buffalo area for three of the last fifty+ years.
Hi Dawson,
Keep in mind that many more people will be saved during the tribulation. Everyone alive on earth will be told the truth.
WE are already half-way through 2020 and have had TWO major national changing events. I suspect more are on their way, someone said this year of 2020 might as well be CANCELLED, no more business as usual. I always expected the decline of the USA ‘Economically’ and not like some on YOutube who are predicting ‘Nuclear War’ Russia and China attack us, i always tell them that it’s not like we would go down without nuking whoever nuked us first that why we have nuclear submarines on the 7 seas.
Good timing Don. I think that it appears that the USA is under assault by the Ephesians 6:12 “principalities and powers” as it states “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” I think the attacks on our nation by the Chinese virus and the riots, if not the killing of Mr. Floyd were inspired by the evil out to destroy us. Antifa, the democrats, and the radicals are just the pawns being used by them. The US is currently the only major obstacle to world takeover by evil. To that end, I personally think God will keep an obstacle in place to prevent that takeover, until his timing is complete, and the Rapture. Granted it does not need to be the US, but if not, who? My own prediction is that we will see times of trouble, which will continue and even increase, until the Rapture as the attacks continue. If God waits, I think we will see President Trump reelected. We will then see riots and much violence from the left that will get squashed. But it is setting up the nation for the Rapture. After that event, the violent will take over and lead straight to the US joining into the world Anti Christ system. I agree that the Rapture will be very soon. I think it may be sooner than even we expect. We should constantly pray for our friends, family, and our nation.
Yea without the US it is much easier to see the end time socioeconomic system. I doubt the US will be completely destroyed but it will be weakened and in disarray and under godless communist leadership post rapture. Then The attacks on Israel and the world HQ moving to a revised EU look feasible.
There is definitely a coup attempt by the left to get trump out of office. It seems that 2020 has been a very eventful year so far, I don’t expect it to quiet down either. There are reports that the police in our area in north texas are getting threatened at their homes. The residents in our community would not do that, so I’m sure they are being brought in by the left to intimidate. Also the city our church is in is mostly rural, had a protest with BLM and the shop owners in the area just closed up shop early that day to avoid the possibility of rioting and loiting. There was none but they were worried by what they saw on the news. Now I know why ammo is so hard to get now.
Im curious why Esper unilaterally ordered the National guardsmen to be disarmed and helmets removed in DC? Is there more to the story not being reported? They say tonight is going to be a massive protest and im sure violence will break out.
Hi Jim,
Trump continues to prove that he is not a good chooser of leaders or a good judge of character. The deep state generals promoted by Bush and Obama are now stabbing him in the back just like the others he put in high positions in his administration before them. Not to mention Trump’s undying trust in sociopaths like like Facci, Xi, Kim and Paula White.
One cant help but wonder at this point if there any qualified people to choose from that arent compromised.
Craig p.
Used to listen to Tony Evans on local radio when I was growing up. Didnt want to believe you so I went and looked. I was disappointed. Appears he has gotten into kingdom now junk and whatever other poison. You were right unfortunately.
My wife is taking this all pretty hard please pray for her.
I don’t believe Trump knew how deep the deep state was when he took office. I voted for McCain and Romney and they both turned out to be stinkers. Even Sarah Palin didn’t know McCain didn’t want her as his running mate until she read about it.
I’m wondering who Trump can trust. They lie to his face then stab him in the back. He’s relentlessly crucified 24/7 by the MSM, elected officials and world leaders. I’m wondering if there aren’t just a handfull of honest politicians in our government and who are they?
I think we’re witnessing the downfall of civilized society worldwide not just America. I understand why we’re being hit so hard though.
Has anyone given any thought to Mr. Trump not running for re-election in November?
Hi Caitlin,
Trump started with some good people that helped get him in office, but after he became President he let the deep state people he chose and some of his own family drive the best people out. I think Trump thought that if he worked with the progressives they would work with him.
Trust the ones that actually want to put many in the Obama/Biden administration in prison where they belong. Those still claiming that we need to work with the hijacked Democratic Party controlling the House are the ones that cannot be trusted.
Hi Ernie,
Actually I have. Things could continue to fall apart or the Democrats could come up with something in Trump’s past that sticks. He also could have health issues.
We were given a short reprieve or thought so with the election of Trump. We now have been given a clear view of what will happen once he is gone. Elected officials have shown their true colors. We already crossed the Rubicon. Evil will flourish to bring in the “Lawless” one. The American experiment is finished. What a shame.
Don,
Good article. Hard to hold an opposing viewpoint to anything you covered. It’s clear now who the Democrats really are. They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. And them media has gone full blown Communist propagandist for them.
It seems we are in the midst of a civil war, or perhaps the makings of one. The cities are the flashpoints, which is good since I don’t live in a big one. However, even the suburb where I live had protests. The cancer is spreading. The question becomes, can Trump stop it? Should he? Or will it die down. Personally, I don’t think there is any going back at this point.
Don, your coverage of the American debt and Fed money printing is spot on. You’ve been sounding the alarm for some time now, and we may be finally there. The markets seem to be completely rigged and fake. At some point the world will have to reject the dollar as the reserve currency, and when that happens, like you said, we are in for quite an awakening.
The whole problem is spiritual. You can’t regulate and enforce morality. You can’t debate with people who call good evil.
There is such a push to call everything that transpired in the last 3 month’s the “new normal”. I thought that was very suspicious.
Re: New Normal – Yeah, that is a conditioning tactic.
I see a massive conspiracy by all things corporate, capitalizing (pun intended) on the crisis of the day, to push acceptance (if not all out sponsorship) of their brand of domestic terrorism in the nameplate of BLM / antifa (no good term/phrase is above being hijacked).
What happened to global warming?
I think the downfall of America began in the 1960’s, after WW II and the ‘Baby boom’ America enjoyed great prosperity after the war but somewhere afterwards our government began to overspend, thus beginning a snowball of national debts/overspending that today exceed $23 trillion and counting. Yes, we won the Cold War against the USSR but it appears we too will succumb to an economic implosion as did the USSR, only our economic collapse was able to be extended this long. The sad thing is that our elite leaders at the Federal Reserve and the White House learned very little from history as if overspending
and other things did not apply to America.
It’s time for all of us to get on our knees in humility, prayer, and fasting to confess our sins and the sins of our nation. Pleading with God for his mercy to convict our hearts and change the hearts of men through the preaching of the Gospel!
Just thought I’d give you guys an update. Apparently ANTIFA and others are starting to spread out to look for softer targets in rural America. They appear to be more organized and sophisticated than in years past. I think getting a community protection plan together is a smart idea.
Jim that’s a good idea. I have a core group of people that are prepared to respond to my house or family, and me to them in case of emergency. Hopefully we will never have to implement the plan, but in a worse case scenario, it’s something I guess.
The more I listen to and read media excerpts, the more I believe all of this is coordinated. I was listening to a podcast yesterday, and in it was mentioned an article in The Economist from 1988. According to the article, 2018 was the year that a New World Order monetary sysytem would be ushered in. It also required a significant decline in standard of living and influence regarding America. Ultimately though, everything will happen according to God’s timing.
Not trying to take anything away from Don’s stuff at all, but if you want some informative stuff you can watch on video or listen to you can go on andy woods youtube channel or facebook page. He does a thing called pastors point of view every Friday, which lately has been on Covid19 and more recently the riots. He puts the source material in the comments section if decide to check any of it.
That is a lot to say that this stuff is definitely done on purpose.
Im somewhat concerned that the foundations are being laid for a real coup in this country. I pray it doesnt come to that before the rapture, but there is no gaurentee of that. Many former secretary of defense personnel and former generals are actively speaking out against and purposely refusing to differentiate between the riots and protest when they speak. I used to believe the military probably wouldnt go for that, but I dont anymore. They all go through the same schools the rest of the brainwashed youth go through.
Yea it seems the leftist Obama military appointees are trying to oust him.
Hi Dawson,
Clinton, Bush and Obama feminized the military and made them comply with cultural Marxist social engineering programs. The top Generals get their rank by being politically correct. The top generals are left leaning deep state picks. The rank and file in the military on the other hand are much more conservative many of them come from rural areas. So basically if the crap hits the fan you would also have division in the military between the leftist generals and those being given the orders.
If you look at the polls it seems the left will not need a coup to take over this country. The reprobates minds seem to have the votes to just vote the radical leftists politicians in this fall just like they already did in blue cities and states.
Hi Don:
I have had to spend time analyzing what the COVID-19 lockdown(s), the horrendous death of George Floyd, the protests, riots, terrorism and chaos in America have done to my emotional state and equilibrium. Prayer, attending church, reading the Word, this article and the several proceeding this one is helping me be calm. It took me a bit to realize that my overwhelming emotion, right now, is GRIEF for my country. I have always loved America and felt blessed to be a contributing citizen and to live to see this destruction saddens my heart and soul. I agree we are likely to see “one crisis after another” and I pray for Christians (and myself) around the world to feel the urgency to be strong and faithful, continuing in the Word, fellowship, and evangelism, and to – “occupy until Jesus comes”.
I am still studying your Revelation Commentary, I am beginning Chapter 18 today. So much more of the text is clear to me than ever before in my life. Thank you for your vital ministry.
I lost touch with this website for a bit but today you popped into my mind, Don (and after that, the regulars here whose comments I love to read!). I enjoyed this piece and plan on working my way back a ways to learn from the other discussions on this nightmare era seemingly upon us. Bless one and all in Christ, who is seated at the right hand of GOD!
My concern is that the left will create a situation to bait Trump into using the insurrection act and then have leftist military brass disobey his orders. They would then say Trump is a danger and has to be removed. I think if Trump wins re-election some coup would likely take place.
Well it looks like it is picking up steam. The city of Seattle has literally surrendered a 6 block area of the city to the communists. The media is acting like its nothing. May God have mercy on us all and come quickly for us. I had hoped God would let our country make the rapture, but that doesn’t look likely now unless it happens very soon. It looks like the virus is going to take off again because of the protests. Reports today of over 70 testing centers being destroyed. That is likely on purpose by outside agents though it wont be reported that way. Lord come quickly.
Dawson,
We have literally almost nothing to fear from antifa/BLM/looters in and of themselves. They are weak and very few in number. It’s the police and national guard that are controlled by leftist politicians you have to worry about. They are the ones that are heavily armed and organized. If you attempt to defend your community from being destroyed they will arrest you or shoot you, the law abiding citizen. Just look at the mayor of Philly and his recent comments.
To Robert Rivera, Hey Brother, long time no talk! Just wanted to say you are completely correct about crossing the Rubicon. This country is most definitely headed for Civil War brought on by Socialist inspired Anarchists and there is no visible way of stopping it. I know the usual statement of defiance for the defense of this country is “Better to die on my feet than on my knees”. Let me say it the way the Serbian Chetnik fighters would: “Se verum u Bogu, Sloboda ilie smrt!”…”I have faith in God, Freedom or Death”. Apparently Serbia had its own Patrick Henry.
Don, what’s your take on CHAZ in Seattle? Should we let them starve, or root them out?
Hi Steve
People in our nation need to push back against this communist insurrection or it will spread everywhere.
It already has spread. The pressure put on the population to capitulate is tremendous. I just had a conversation with my 20 yo coworker who said any white person who doesn’t publicly praise BLM and admit their privilege will be shunned and ridiculed. He literally said this. All his friends agree.
Don is correct that this is a communist insurrection that will spread throughout the cities if it is not cut off. This is exactly what happened in the beginning of every communist takeover in history.
So now more of the “new normal” is “sentence first, verdict later” like in Alice In Wonderland whenever there is an incident involving a black person and a cop. Instead of having baseball, football, Disneyland, 4th of July, the new entertainment will be Riot Time. “Come on family, lets go burn down a city and see if we can get some free swag while we’re at it”. Since the police are being told to stand down, why worry? Plus they’re kneeling along with the protesters. The citizen is now being left to fend for themselves. And there’s really nowhere to go. Even where my sister lives in Montana, they had protests. I can’t even imagine what’s going to happen between now and the election. I think the great delusion has already started.
It is interesting to see where it all leads. I do know there are a lot of people even in our church who are fearful of the future. I understand thier fear. I have children and think what am i leaving them? I realized that giving them a strong faith in God and his word is the best thing I can give them. I think we will see a lot more destruction in the future before the Lord comes for his bride. So I wanted my kids to look for his appearing while trying to share with the lost. I have to say people are a bit more open to it since the corona virus and the riots. I personally don’t think we will be here much longer. So I feel the urgency to share the good news. Maranatha my dear brethern!
Things still heating up. Mass movement to take down all statues deemed racist. Shooting in NM over this just happened. Police with cleaning solution in drinks in NYC? They say it was accidental and that may be true however I’ve never seen a malfunction like that. Who knows.
Yeah I dont see things calming down at all. Im not so sure they didnt get to trump, he is doing nothing about the washington state issue. Im just trying to focus on the fact that we do have hope, let go of my guilt about the past and teach my kids about the Lord. I think they are young enough to go in the rapture, but we are told to occupy so teach them I will. The news is all bad and getting worse, its all hate in a hurry. Im looking for openings to share at work but there dont seem to be many.
Google threatens to demonitize The Federalist because they disagreed on the comment section.
Are the events you describe a harbinger of tribulation, not just for the US, but for the western world. Will it be a tribulation prior to the catching away of the Church, or THE tribulation after the Rapture? That is a most interesting question.
Will Europe metamorphose into a ten member confederation of States because of this upheaval? Very likely. Magog it seems will be its own independent entity and mass with others on the borders of the promised land. AND the kings of the East will develop a 200,000,000 man army in anticipation of ‘world’ conquest via the Euphrates. Why westward to the Euphrates? Perhaps there is nothing to conquer eastward.
We can certainly see such a scenario developing today? But when?
Today would be a good time to safeguard our hearts and minds against the satanic intrusion of fear. God has us in his hands, and not even Satan can touch us whilst that is the case. I must remember this. 🙏🙏
Hello Don;
I sent you an eagle meme. As a Canadian, I feel down-hearted the direction the U.S. is going. Canada is no better. I hope both countries come back to the Lord but I know they wont. To all who read Don’s blogs, lets keep looking up as it wont be long and we’ll be gone from here. Ernie.
