The Daniel 11:22 War
In late May, it was reported that Russia was “building a prototype of its first stealth bomber.” Allegedly, the aircraft “will compete with the U.S. B-2 strategic stealth bomber which entered service in 1997.” That remains to be seen. Regardless, China is supposedly also working on its own stealth bomber. Yet, like we’ve discussed in the past, America’s withdrawal from global affairs is going to be catastrophic for China. Without the US Navy protecting shipping lanes and without access to America’s market, China collapses overnight.
In other words, Russia and America are the only military heavyweights left. The Americans are done fighting other people’s battles, while for demographic and economic reasons, Russia has to return to its imperialistic roots. In a chaotic world filled with regional conflicts, Russia has the urgency and the military technology to claw its way to the top of the heap. Of course, the Antichrist is the leader of Russia in the end times. He’s going to conquer Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya, among other countries. Clearly, at some point, Russia will become the most influential foreign power in the Middle East and Africa. That rise to the top will begin with the Antichrist’s victory in the Daniel 11:22 War.
Sheep/Goat nations
With an energy-independent United States gradually withdrawing from global affairs, the next several years are going to be a mad scramble for resources and influence amongst the world’s regional powers. The process is just getting started. Much to the horror of China, the US announced the sale of “advanced torpedoes to Taiwan worth around $180 million.” Besides torpedoes to Taiwan, America decided to ditch “the 35-nation Open Skies treaty allowing unarmed surveillance flights over member countries.” Rightfully so. Why should the world violate our sovereign airspace and potentially spy on Americans?
On top of that, President Trump’s arms control negotiator has made it clear that the US will spend anyone, such as Russia and China, “into oblivion” to win a nuclear arms race. For years, people have complained about America’s so-called imperialism. They wanted us to stop intervening around the globe. Well, with the US done protecting the world for free, an old saying comes to mind: be careful what you wish for.
Satanism
The Wuhan virus panic has allowed technological tyranny to flourish. It gave eager governments a convenient excuse to expand their already robust surveillance activities. For example, Russia implemented a system to “trace citizens who are in contact with patients with new coronavirus infection on the basis of information from cellular operators about the geolocation of a cell phone of a particular person.” In Columbia, drones are detecting if people have a fever. If it finds someone with a fever, the drone “sends the location to a medical team that seeks out the person to determine if they have coronavirus symptoms.” Privacy is dead.
On a side note, the use of drones is particularly intriguing. In November of 2017, the US Department of Defense requested help to develop “automatic target recognition of personnel and vehicles from an unmanned aerial system using learning algorithms.” Translation? The DOD was looking to create drones that are “capable of deciding for themselves and without human supervision.” No word on if they succeeded or not, but there’s no doubt: AI could enable drones to kill on their own. What if a demon “hacked” the algorithm? In Revelation 13:15, it says that the image of the beast will be able to speak and it will have the power to kill anyone that doesn’t worship it. As we’ve discussed, the technology for the end times is already here.

London = Babylon the Great?
The United States wants a free trade agreement with the United Kingdom, but it doesn’t need one. On the other hand, the UK desperately needs a trade deal with the US. Consequently, in May, Prime Minister Boris Johnson “instructed civil servants to make plans to end UK’s reliance on China for vital medical supplies and other strategic imports.” Additionally, Britain’s cybersecurity center is planning on conducting “a new review into Huawei’s role in the UK’s 5G network.” The British are ingratiating themselves with the Americans. This cooperation clears the path for a favorable free trade agreement, with tariff-free movement of goods and services both ways. This would turn the UK into Europe’s biggest economy again. This is significant, because Babylon the Great is the financial center of the world’s economy and a global trading hub.
That’s all for this week! Thanks for reading and Godspeed!
