Heads-up, World (Power Concentration)

See the Heads-up series here

I have long pondered how, in such a predicted, short period of time, the final anti-Christ man could rise to effective global power—just as The Bible predicts. Perhaps in response to my pondering—and others’ as well—The Lord has given us a powerful demonstration effect in Donald Trump. In just a few short, intense months, he has bull-dozed through a stream of highly controversial, unprecedented, and some arguably illegitimate policies that have:

1. Upturned decades of U.S. laws, national and foreign policies, and longstanding norms of executive governance, and 
2. Aggressively pushed to bend much of the world to his will.

Here’s a summary of what he has accomplished along these lines in just a few months:

Rapid Executive Power Concentration

• Initiated a continuing reign of vengeance against former political enemies—by name, by charge, and, in some cases, by threatened detention and/or deportation,
• Openly floated the idea of ruling as dictator for a day, leaving many unsure whether he was joking.
• Openly sued, and/or threatened civil institutions—from universities-to the-Federal Reserve.
• Pressured courts and state governors to conform—or face political wrath.
• Summarily gutted the staffs and budgets of many congressionally-mandated federal agencies, and was forced to rehire some critical staff after recognizing ‘the error of his ways’.
• Purged or sidelined potential and active dissenting voices in every major federal agency, including congressionally-mandated Inspectors General,
• Pushed to end birthright citizenship, though its guaranteed via a constitutional amendment,
• Stated he didn’t know if he has a duty to uphold the Constitution, in general, and specifically, the Fifth Amendment right to all persons within the U.S., to fair treatment under the law, regardless of their citizenship or immigration status,
• Rebranded the Depts. of Justice and Homeland Security as tools for shielding allies and prosecuting enemies,
• Replaced U.S. strategic policy processes, with personal impulse—often via social media, frequently to the surprise of cabinet members whom he frequently contradicts,
• Threatened detentions and sweeping retribution against current political opponents,
• Shifted campaign rallies into revival-like power displays of personal loyalty,
• Threatened to arrest and deport citizens who refuse to bow to his dictates,
• Assigned parts of the military and National Guard to domestic intimidation, and
• Leveraged the presidency to increase personal and familial wealth.

Aspired Global Domination

• Attempted to forced national leaders into compliance through tariffs, aid freezes, and public shaming,
• Normalized rule-by-disruption as a viable global, leadership model,
• Positioned himself as a symbol of resistance to long-established, global order—yet eager to dominate it,
• Publicly praised national strongmen, while discrediting U.S. democratic allies,
• Redefined U.S. foreign policy as transactional, self-centered, loyalty-based, and allegedly personally-enriching,
• Seeded international doubt in U.S. election integrity and democratic stability,
• Spoke of his leadership in messianic terms—'Only I can fix it’,
• Stoked nationalist movements abroad with anti-globalist rhetoric,
• Undermined NATO unity, while cozying up to authoritarian regimes, and
• Used scandal-laden chaos as fuel to strengthen his grip.

It is painfully apparent that Trump is not even a basic student of history. He has yet to learn the thirst for power is both addictive, and self-destructive in more ways than can be counted!

As The Lord said when He led me to write Heads-up, World (Letter)—in His own voice(!)—He intends to prepare the world to perceive what lies just ahead as He turns His 'human history ages pages'—the pending shifts from the current 3rd age, to the 4th and 5th ages of our history. Yet we all recognize its human nature to ignore warnings, especially those of a spiritual nature. The rationale for any/ALL of His warnings throughout human history, is to ensure we will have NO excuse when the consequences of ignoring them erupt, and when we later stand before His judgment bar to give account for our lives. Across the world, we are daily witnessing such eruptions! 

The shifts He speaks of will trigger the rapid rise of two extraordinarily powerful, global regimes led by:

A. The final anti-Christ man, for 7 years—42 months of relative peace and false security, followed by 42 months of sheer hell on Earth—The Lord’s long-promised apocalypse—the tribulation, during which He promises to make humans ‘rare on Earth!’ Learn about this man and his unique, eternal fate here.

B. The Lord, Himself, for 1,000 years—as Earth’s global King during His long-promised Millennial Reign—the predicted best years on Earth since before Adam and Eve sinned! Imagine that age here. (Will I see you there??)

The Spiritual Significance

Mind you, this is not just about Trump. Strategically, it's about:

1. Winding down a multi-millennial-long parade, featuring two types of anti-Christs:

--People who deny Jesus Christ, The Lord God and Jewish Messiah, is yet to be born (See: 1 John 4:3), and

--Future false-Christs/Messiahs and prophets who will claim to be Him (i.e., to be God in human form), including some who will ‘…show great signs and wonders [miracles] to deceive’. (See: Matthew 24:11) Head-up, The Bible iteratively predicts the final anti-Christ man will be endowed with satanic, miracle-working powers, will declare he is God, and will demand to be worshiped as such! It appears THAT LATTER ACT will likely trigger the start of the 42-month long apocalypse.

 

2. Revealing/exposing how the world is steadily being primed to demand, and eventually embrace a single, bold, commanding figure, who will:

--Promise peace and restoration, but who will eventually 

--Foment division, and trigger the apocalypse, Heaven’s worse judgments since the global flood.

I intuit not long hence, the world will be clamoring for such a leader, unaware that The Bible predicts he who will respond, will be endowed with satanic, miracle-working powers, first to thrill with his problem-solving skills, and later to deceive and dominate. 

 

Some people opine Donald Trump is a symptom of long-standing, national ills. I perceive he, as the most powerful U.S. president ever, is The Lord’s ‘demonstration effect’ and ‘signpost’—a divine preview for perceptive, spiritually-minded people, in order to demonstrate just how quickly the final anti-Christ man could ascend to effective, global power. All requisite conditions, institutions and infrastructure for this to happen are already in place (note the number): 

1. Gradual, eroding proclivity for democratic values;

2. Deepening chasms in every nation, across nearly every line that segregates us—politics, race/skin color, income/wealth, quality of life, education, culture, faith, citizenship, migration status, etc., etc.;

3. Increasing global disillusionment and a hunger for strongmen ‘who can/will get things done!’, with an emphasis on ‘my desired things’, ‘my way’--which will merely sow even greater seeds of divisions;

4. Broken/ineffective global institutions that are being challenged left, right and center;

5. Existing and emerging cultures of digital surveillance, facial recognition, and monetary systems;

6. Emerging AI technologies that could easily be globally centralized and manipulated to generate alternate/condeming facts and realities; and

7. Deep, unparalleled lawlessness in EVERY economic sector, across EVERY social strata, and at nearly EVERY level of life! (Genesis 6 conditions, revisited!) 

 

Know this: Once the 4th age begins, global deception will be incredibly strong and will increase at a fast pace! Only those who are firmly anchored in Bible Truth and predictions, will endure, spiritually, though countless new and returning Christ-believers will suffer great physical loss. The Lord promises:

    (a) they will be featured in the multitude Apostle John ‘saw’ in the last half of chapter 7 of his Revelation vision, and 

    (b) they will be resurrected bodily (just as He was) to serve in His Millennial Reign, with all other saints from across the first 4 ages of history—this is the resurrection/rapture of all 4th age saints, and 

    (c) to send an angel to warn the world of the awful, eternal results of acceding to the demands of anti-Christ’s regime.

In light of this, please, seriously ponder this question:

Are you now in, and will you stay in

The Lord’s ‘heads-up’ mode’?
