Prophecies aren’t predictions up for vote,

Nor are they ‘mere words’ from ancient prophets’ quotes.

They're future FACTs Heaven declared in text,

 From The Lord, Who knows what will happen next. ¹

 

We mortals flinch and strain to see,

 But miss the ‘perspective of prophecies.’

 They’re FACTs to Him Who lives above, outside,

The concept of time with which we’re allied. ²

 

The Mind of Christ reveals His perspective,

To those in whom His Spirit’s effective.

Without That Gift, our perspectives reject,

His FACTs, till they align with our ‘fact checks.’ ³

 

So…

Until His future FACTS show in our time,

Let’s elucidate within us, His Mind.

On the ~20% that, to us, are pending,

He promised fresh insights to us, He’ll be sending. ⁴

---------- 

¹ Biblical prophecies prove The Lord is God, because only He can accurately predict the future, even many millennia in advance. 

² Isaiah 57:15 declares The Lord inhabits eternity. 

³ The Holy Spirit earnestly desires to be effective in us who are born again, and are  alive to Father God, in Christ, The Lord God. Thus, we have been given The Mind of Christ. Our job is to receive and activate/inculcate His Gift in our spirit and soul.

⁴ Years ago, 80% of all Bible prophecies had, reportedly, become factual. Since then, others continue to be fulfilled, notably the spikes in Christian lukewarmness and apostasy during/after the Covid pandemic. See: 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, 1 Timothy 4:1, and Matthew 24:12. Also, Acts 2:14-21 echo The Lord’s promised in Joel 2:28-29.

Earth's Cloaked Satellites (Part 2)

See the series here

A Dual Reality in Earth’s Skies

Most people today are aware of the thousands of man-made satellites strewn across Earth’s lower, middle and upper atmospheres. Since Russia launched Sputnik in 1957, Earth’s atmosphere has become a crowded ring of both operational and dead satellites called space junk—some of which threaten unpredictable re-entry disasters. And every year, we continue to add to this ‘cloud of metal’ up there! 

What most of us don’t realize, however, is that Earth is also encircled by another set of ‘satellites’—cloaked ones. These are not crafted in labs or launched by rockets. They are part of a vast, well-organized spiritual network—one that predates Sputnik by millennia. The Bible gives us piercing insights into this hidden actuality.

satan’s Earth Kingdom

Scripture indicates satan’s kingdom of darkness comprises 3, cloaked tiers, possibly mimicking the structure of Kingdom of Heaven where he once served as a top holy angel, and learned ‘all the ways’ of Heaven. They brought these insights with them when he and his rebellious crew of fallen angels (devils and demons) were cast out of Heaven, and landed on the Earth. The Bible indicates his kingdom is structured like this:

1. A shifting seat of power on Earth -- a central, spiritual throne from which satan directs and orchestrates evil global influences on/over all of humanity. In a letter The Lord dictated to Apostle John, for the church in Pergamos (Revelation 2:13), He mentioned the location of satan’s seat of power. That was circa 95 AD. But since the early post-flood population settled in the plain of Shinar (in current Iraq), it is safe to conclude satan’s seat of power was likely where the population center was. If so, Revelation 2:13 signals his seat of power shifted over time, as human power centers shifted, possibly following the rise and fall of empires or national power centers.
2. Principalities and powers ‘in the heavenlies’ -- high-ranking demons who operate across Earth’s upper atmosphere (Ephesians 6:12). They may be assigned over nations, and/or politico-cultural power spheres on Earth. These are strategic influencers who steer entire nations and peoples into grossly sinful temptations and deceptions. For example, an angel spoke to Daniel about being hindered by the Prince of Persia and of Greece (Daniel 10). Gog may be satan’s top demon who is/will be assigned over Russia, to instigate the predicted invasion of Israel, per. Ezekiel 38. (See: First Ukraine, Then Israel’s Terrain?!)
3. Low-level ‘foot soldiers’ – street-level devils who tempt and deceive individuals. They are the devils who daily dog our steps and crowd our thoughts, exploiting personal vulnerabilities and generational weaknesses.

Consider this: This 3-tiered structure parallels how man-made satellite systems are organized and operated, with a control room on Earth; satellites in the upper atmosphere, and customers strewn across the Earth. Moreover, The Bible indicates The Lord’s Millennial Reign kingdom will be similarly organized: with Jesus, visibly on His Throne in a significantly elevated Jerusalem; all His angels, invisibly in Earth’s upper atmosphere, replacing satan’s powerful demons; and all His saints from across the first 4 ages of history, visibly assigned across the Earth to exercise The Lord’s iron rod authority, ensuring righteousness in all the Earth! Got it??

But the Bible promises a radical, coming change.

Heaven Emptied, Earth Shaken

When The Lord and we, His immortal, glorified saints, return for His Millennial Reign, Scripture indicates Heaven apparently will literally be emptied onto the Earth. (Zechariah 14:5, Matthew 25:31). An angel will lock satan and all his devilish crew into a bottomless pit for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:1-3) All The Lord’s angels will likely then replace them, becoming Earth’s new, ‘cloaked satellites’. 

Jesus will deploy glorified saints across the Earth as His visible, righteous kings and administrators, exercising His iron rod justice, enforcing righteousness, and ensuring peace and truth in every land.

This will constitute a total spiritual reboot of Earth’s upper atmosphere, as well as its national governance systems: Angels above, The Lord and His glorified saints below, a perfect, planetary information coordination system 

***Ponder this: With the above notion of how satan’s 3-tiered kingdom currently works, let your imagination flow freely to perceive possible similarities and significant differences in how The Lord’s 3-tiered, Millennial Kingdom on Earth might work!

What About Those Physical Satellites?

Here’s where prophetic Scripture seems to intersect with astro-physics. The Bible describes three major earthquakes during the apocalyptic judgments. The third/final one will be the most violent, ever:

...Earth will move out of her place (Isaiah 13:13)

…Earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard,

   and shall totter like a hut (Isaiah 24:20)
...Every wall shall fall to the ground (Ezekiel 38:20)

…There will be a mighty, great earthquake as had not occurred 

   since men were on the Earth (Revelation 16:18)

We don’t know how dramatically, or in which directions Earth will be shaken and moved out of her place. But even a small orbital shift could have devastating consequences for the thousands of man-made satellites, if they will still be in the atmosphere during the apocalypse. Even the slightest change in Earth’s tilt, speed or orbit, could:

…Disrupt orbital paths, triggering satellites to collide and fall towards the ground;

…Increase atmospheric drag, causing satellites to burn up on reentry; and

…Disable communications networks, triggering a global blackout.

From this review, we see The Lord could use a cosmic reset, not just to purge the spiritual realm, but also to clear the atmosphere of every man-made device.

Satanic Evacuation-->Divine Invasion

 

In ancient times, invading armies laid siege against nations for months, even years! Thus, they choked supply channels, and triggered massive sufferings and deaths. Well, the predicted 42-month-long apocalypse will be The Lord’s ‘siege against the Earth’, before launching His predicted alien-type invasion, with all His glorified/glowing saints and angels, to start His Millennial Reign. 

 

Somewhere in the mayhem, He will deal with both types of Earth’s satellite networks, possibly replacing the spiritual type, and perhaps destroying the physical type. Tongue-in-cheek, otherwise, how would He and His massive entourage …get through all that space junk? ;o)

Ponder This...(What If...)

Questions for an Attentive Remnant

 

Friends,

Here are some important points to ponder:

1. What if… Jesus, The Lord God, sends His judgments on our sinfulness, in a ‘divine sequence’: (a) sword, (b) famine, (c) wild beasts, then (d) pestilence, to attract our attention to, and achieve our action on His insistence for us to live more righteous lifestyles all across the Earth. How might life on Earth change IF we collectively heard and complied with Him. (See: Ezekiel 14:12-23 and The Millennial Reign (Series))

2. What if… without our adequate responses, He allows these judgments to morph, cascade, inter-mingle, and trigger all sorts of other, unspecified types of judgments—a broad picture of life on Earth now.

3. What if… the last one, pestilence, are diseases that rapidly mutate—outstripping our ability to produce adequate defenses, and then spread quickly to become global pandemics.

4. What if… all of His efforts fail, and we significantly jack-up our sinfulness on the Earth, as we did at the end of the Covid pandemic.

5. What if… there might be some type of correlations between the disasters experienced during (a) the first third of the 20th century, and those we are experiencing or may experience (b) during the first third of this 21st century. (See: 126 Years of Proofs (Series))

6. What if… the global COVID pandemic was possibly the first wave of global pestilences this century, in His divine, escalated efforts to trigger more righteous lifestyles among us.

7. What if… recent wars and conflicts in Ukraine, Russia, Gaza, Sudan, Mali, Somali, Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, Yemen, Lebanon, Mexico/drug, Pakistan, Iraq, Myanmar and Haiti, are not mere politically-based, but The Lord’s swords in His next, broad judgment sequence(s).

8. What if… the 9-10 current (2025) famines across the world, are His famines in His next, broad judgment sequence(s).

9. What if… we have totally discounted The Lord’s wild beasts judgment instrument, because of our success in domesticating many animals, and distancing ourselves from the worst of them (in terms of potential harm to us).

10. What if… The Lord had a strategic reason for having well-preserved a diversity of extinct wild animals in the permafrost.

11. What if… their extinction wasn’t just nature’s course, but His act of protective Grace for us, including a planned purpose to revive them, e.g., now or later.

12. What if… the thawing permafrost, and our successful efforts to ‘resurrect’ extinct species, might reactivate them and others as His wild beasts judgment instrument.

13. What if… there might be some correlation between our success in resurrecting extinct animals, and the list of weird, un-restrainable beasts that are predicted to afflict people during the apocalypse.

14. What if… the ‘apocalyptic beasts’ mentioned in The Book of Revelation might also signify, not only creatures, but also some of key systems at the local, national, international levels, on which we all heavily rely.

15. What if… there is a highly strategic reason for the degeneration of democracy right in front of our collective eyes, especially the sudden lurch, in the world’s reported top democracy, away from every democratic principle—a sudden democracy apostasy.

16. What if… the current (2025) U.S. president’s behavior isn’t just political theater, but a strategic test of whether Americans will choose power over principle, and populist charisma over covenant and constitution.

17. What if… the many other weird, seemingly cyclical events that are erupting all over the world, are all birth pangs for the next, predicted short age of history (the tribulation age), not merely random events.

18. What if… the last pre-anti-Christ strongman is walking among us now, exhibiting several of the traits and ambitions of the predicted final anti-Christ—a global strongman whom Revelation calls, the beast’, who will:

  a. Be endowed with satanic miracle-working powers to resolve 

      sudden and protracted, global problems, 

  b. Deceive many people the world over, 
  c. Launch a global campaign to behead as many new Christ-believers

      as possible, 
  d. Declare himself to be God, and 
  e. Insist that he be worshiped as such, and thus 

  f. Trigger The Lord’s decision to launch the apocalypse. 

19. What if… the slow, apparent merging of global political, military and economic powers into one man, might presage the arrival of this man, who will create what The Bible calls, ‘the mark of the beast’ global money system, and command everyone to use, or be locked out of all commercial activities. 

20. What if… all the upheavals across the world are not merely political, military, economic, and socio-cultural chaos, but spiritual choreography to expose and judge pride, purge wickedness, and catalyze the development of a righteous remnant during the closing years of this current 3rd age, and prepare for the 4th age of history—the short, intense tribulation age.

 

21. What if… you are now being called to be part of that remnant—to watch and to warn. If not that, what??

Jesus Christ, The Lord God Almighty, is the most strategic Mind in existence. Yet, in our great pride and ignorance, we either disbelieve He even exists, or ignore and severely discount anything about Him, all with great negative consequences for life on Earth. Each one of us is empowered to change this, and effect some positive change for the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

My prayer for you:

prayerful periods of productive pondering…

Power and Wealth, Consolidating (Part 1)

See the series here

Without hesitation, the title of this post, might prompt you to agree, without reservation, that political, military and wealth powers are indeed concentrating. Throughout history, power and wealth have long been cozy. But there’s a clear pattern that I think will enthrall.

Over the eras of history, these twins haven’t always ‘danced so closely’ as they appear to be doing in our day. Indeed, their relative closeness over time, has ebbed and flowed. Often, in one man, they both were ‘stowed’. But in the modern era, there has usually been a significant distinction between political/military power and wealth. Playbook for the anti-Christ (Part 2), based on ChatGPT’s research, explains how Donald Trump is currently (April 2025) the most powerful man in history, but he’s clearly not the most-wealthy. However, his unusually close association with a long string of multi-billionaires (13 of whom are in his cabinet of 22 officers), raises this question: 

Might the historical pattern of power and wealth,

concentrated in one man, be returning??

To that question, my unequivocable answer is, YES!!! Let’s briefly explore why.  

On any journey, especially long ones, it is critical to keep the destination in mind, and to pay attention to various sign posts and/or events along the way. Well, it is apparent to anyone who has eyes to see, that history is a multi-millennial journey, designed for humanity. Though the foolish among us may think our journey here will be forever, the wise among us know The Bible iteratively attests otherwise. Since our journey here had a starting time, it is logical to perceive it will also have both an end time, and a final destination that will eventually be reached. Makes sense?? The Bible, and all of history, are chock full of pivotal sign posts and events along the way to our destination. These include many events that were predicted (prophesized) well in advance of their occurrence. The Lord uses prophecies as one of many proofs of Who He is—The Lord God, Creator, Sustainer, and Judge Potentate of all things! Years ago, Bible scholars concluded 80 percent of those predictions have become historical facts. Unfolding news events around the world, indicate that percentage is still growing. 

History also reveals the ebb and flow ‘dance’ between power and wealth, from ancient BC times, to today. With this insight, the pertinent question is:

What does The Bible signal about this ‘dance’

as we approach our declared destination??

  

It responds with both inferred and emphatic points that most readers might miss or misinterpret. The trajectory of global events, as interpreted through a theological lens, indicates a movement towards the reunification of political/military and economic wealth, not divided as they currently are, but in one person. Perhaps it is akin to the growth of huge companies via corporate mergers, and government’s anti-trust measures to curb such. Other obvious examples include the fact that ‘money begets money’, and ‘power begets power’, resulting in eventual, unimaginable mergers. In both cases, human pride, greed and grift, push both the powerful and the wealthy to crave more, consolidate more, and seize more, by any means possible, corrupting people and systems along the way, or rather, that get in the way!!

History on this current version of Earth is being slowly driven toward its declared, unstoppable culmination. In the culmination sequence, might there be a trifecta of cases in which political/military power AND economic power once again MERGE …in one person with significant or total, global impact and influence??

Stay tuned for Part 2
