Apocalypse now.

This does loo very much like the early days of the End Times as described in the Bible.

Certainly this business with the Persian Gulf being closed presents a fascinating geo-political issue; the Bible says the "King of the East" will come with an army of two hundred million men to do battle at Armageddon, and that is a plausible scenario if the Gulf is closed for an extended period - without oil the Chicoms will face total economic collapse. They can't allow that. I suspect India could well join their old enemy in this as well. Imagine an Indian/Chinese coalition coming to open the strait! It would be the thing, the only thing I can see in fact, that would motivate so large an army marching west to fight to the death.

And of course they may well conclude that it's time to put a stop to all this and who is at the center of it all? Israel.

Meanwhile a coalition of the Western nations want to put a stop to this too. So would the Arab states to the south of Israel. And so would the Russians, who need Syria as their warm-water port and have a good reason to suck up to the Arabs.

BTW this article discusses Pickax Mountain. The author states that PM has a bunker deeper than anything our weapons can reach. Maybe. And maybe Mr. Trump is being advised to do something rather rash. Conventional weapons may not reach that facility, but do we perhaps have, uh, nonconventional weapons capable? Are we about to nuke the Iranians?

Do that and all bets are off.

And the Iranians are promising a very escalated retaliation. Did they have those 11 nukes as they claimed? Are they going to nuke US? It's possible. We could lose a city or two. And if they can get one high up over Nebraska we could lose a helluva lot more than a city.

I sure hope Trump knows what he is doing!

But is this the apocalypse? Not yet it's not, but it appears are the pieces are in place with the exception of the construction of a new temple in Jerusalem. And the final revealing of the Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition. We don't know who that is yet. Whoever it is will make a peace agreement with Israel to guarantee their safety. Then he will break that agreement midway through the Great Tribulation.

So who is the Anti-Christ? Hard to say. There are those who say Trump is he. They can make a strong case for that by pointing out that Trump came out of nowhere, won power, survived all the attacks thrown at him, and is a man who survived a gunshot to his head. Trump went to military school and has great respect for the military - and the Anti-Christ was said to be much like that. The Anti-Christ is said to be self-aggrandizing and of course we know Mr. Trump has a big ego and sticks his name on everything.

But Trump doesn't fit the bill in other ways. He's not a man of the Left, and the Anti-Christ is supposed to be erudite and charms the upper classes - the antithesis of Jesus, who was a man of the People. Trump is a man of the People whom the upper classes despise.

The headwound was not in the least mortal as the Anti-Christ's is going to be - it was just an ear ding. Trump did survive a total war on him through lawfare but the Bible never mentions any such thing or even hints at it.

Also, the Bible says in Romans 1: 26-27 the Anti-Christ would "abandon the natural use of women" probably meaning he would be homosexual. Mr. Trump is most definitely NOT homosexual. Trump very much likes the girls.

I would add the spirit of the age is not MAGA at all but rather Progressive/socialist and atheistic. It is rebellion against God and His Church. That is not Donald J. Trump. He may not be a saint or holy man but he stands with the old time values and beliefs. Anti-Christ cannot do that. As Jesus said "a house divided cannot stand". Trump is dividing the house of Satan if he is the chosen one of el diablo.

I rather suspect that Satan will ape Trump, use the Trump template. The Devil isn't creative - he has a few things in his playbook at he simply rehashes them. Everything he does is a copy of what God is doing. Trump has largely saved the Western world and that was not on his own power and he has acknowledged that. God was moving through him and the Devil hates being outdone by God.

Anti-Christ will be a Progressive copy of Jesus, but he will need a political model as well as Jesus never did politics. So...

The thing is, if we get a President Newsom or Harris or any of the other leftists who are lurking in the great sea (the Bible's way of saying politics - the Anti-Christ comes out of the sea of politics, unlike Trump who did not) will turn against Israel hard. Then, surrounded by her enemies, Israel will find itself in the "time of Jacob's troubles". That will mean the end is nigh.

The Anti-Christ will appear suddenly, and surprise many. But he will a politician from the get-go. The State is now our god, just as Rousseau suggested early in the nineteenth century. Politics is that god's unholy church.

At any rate the geopolitical alignment is right. Time may be shorter than any of us know.
