Some World News In Relation to Biblical Prophecy ── July 27

There are a couple of false predictions that I want to first address. In a post entitled “Will the European Union Survive? A Look at Martin Armstrong’s Claim:” I speak of this. He is predicting a nuclear war between the USA & Russia in a few weeks from now. (See: ZeroHedge – "Plan On It!" Martin Armstrong Sees '100% Chance Of Nuclear War').

Certainly, while nuclear devastation appears to be prophesied in God’s living word, or at the least, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. No. World War III is not about to begin. 

This American self-taught economic forecaster and convicted felon, Martin Armstrong, has a computer program that is called Socrates, which he claims is accurate in its predictions. Well… neither he nor his computer appears to rely, nor understand, God’s living word concerning biblical prophecies. Especially when it comes to Europe. 

Now is not the time, “ …’ See that you are not troubled; … but the end is not yet.’” – Matthew 24:6. Nor is Russia prophesied to cause nuclear devastation upon the United States of America. 

Devastating events that may resemble nuclear explosions and their aftermath ── such as volcanoes erupting worldwide, and or asteroids striking the earth ── are part of God’s prophesied curses upon an unrepentant mankind ── 

“’ The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’” – Deuteronomy 29:23. 

“Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts The land is burned up, And the people shall be as fuel for the fire; No man shall spare his brother. 20) And he shall snatch on the right hand And be hungry; He shall devour on the left hand And not be satisfied; Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm. 21) Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; Together they shall be against Judah.” – Isaiah 9:19-21.

“’ In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places [those places where people go to worship] shall be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, your idols may be broken and made to cease, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.’” – Ezekiel 6:6.

Yes, certainly devastation will come from some type of weapon or natural calamities. And surely, Europe will take advantage of this devastation.

The “beast” power prophesied will be European. And, the Europeans are militarizing to an ever-greater extent because of the policies of the Trump Administration, as well as the conflict between Russia & Ukraine. 

Eventually, because of a reorganized and united Europe, the sovereignties of the United States of America as well as her Anglo-Saxon allies will come to an end ── as one such prophecy shows us ──

“Thus he [a final European civic leader] shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.” – Daniel 11:39.

So, this is a final “beast” power from a “United States of Europe” – also called the king of the North – which borders the Great Sea (See: Daniel chapter 7).

Now, while some may think that the European Union will collapse, God’s living word says otherwise ──   

“Then I stood on the sand of the sea [speaking of the Mediterranean Sea]. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns TEN CROWNS, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 

2) Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The DRAGON gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3) And I saw on his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 

4) So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?’” – Revelation 13:1-4.

Again, the “sea” that the Apostle John is referencing above is “the Great Sea.”

So, no. A massive nuclear war between the USA & Russia is NOT about to begin. Let us always remember the living words of our Savior ── 

“’ Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.’” – Luke 21:36.

And let us also remember to pray always for His kingdom to come – soon. 

Now ── the other false prediction is that there is a Jewish rabbi, Isser Weisberg, who is claiming that Israel’s victory in its 12-day war against Iran is, and I quote ── “The Last Prophecy before Moshiach!” (See: ISRAƐL365NEWS - Israel’s 12-Day Victory of Iran: the Final Prophecy).

There are so many issues with this, it’s hard to begin. 

First. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, does not return until after “’ nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom’” – what we believe is a reference to Daniel 11:40-43. Until after massive earthquakes in various places, which will certainly cause massive volcanoes and untold destruction. Until the end-time prophets arise and begin preaching the kingdom of God to the subjugated nations of Israel (Matthew 24:9-15). Until the two-fold ‘abomination of desolation’ stands in Jerusalem. Until the prophesied ‘great tribulation’ spoken by our Lord Jesus ── a time of devastation as “’ has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.’” Because “’ Immediately after the tribulation of those days’” the atmosphere will be so thick with ash clouds and dust that “ ’the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.’” Until Satan the Devil and his demons “’ fall from heaven [the atmosphere]’” and are delegated only to the earth. THEN… and not until then… “ ’the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven [in space] …’” – and those of the earth will mourn. 

Second. Isaiah 45:1, which Isser Weisberg has referred to, is NOT a prophecy concerning President Donald Trump as Cyrus II of Persia, known as Cyrus the Great! Within God’s living word, nowhere does it claim that President Donald Trump is a modern-day Cyrus. 

Let us always believe the LORD God in His living word over any eye-catching headlines and improper man-made biblical interpretations. Indeed, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is soon coming, but there still remain several prophetic events that must occur beforehand.       

In EUROPE ── the European Union reportedly has had an increase in internal unity since President Donald Trump’s inauguration and implemented tariffs. (See: The New York Times – How Trump Is Bringing Europe Together Again). Of course, consider that The New York Times is Left of Center with its “journalism.” 

Now, while Europe is prophesied to have problems uniting (cf. Daniel 2:41-43), it will unite enough to contribute to the end of the United States of America and our Anglo-Saxon allies' sovereignty (Daniel 8 and Daniel 11:39).

In the USA ── secular news sources are continuing to sound the alarm concerning the US dollar’s dominance, Europe, and gold. (See: Futubull – Fluctuations in the US dollar have prompted alternative options, leading Emerging Markets to surge in issuing euro-denominated bonds). Let us also consider BBC’s report (See: BBC – US debt is now $37tn – should we be worried?). 

Back in 2019, I had written, “We realize and understand that based upon biblical prophecies such as Daniel 11:39 as well as Habakkuk 2:6-8, the time is soon coming when the United States of America will no longer dominate the world. Other major players in the world, like the EU, Russia, and China, are intent on eliminating the U.S. dollar’s dominance (See: Dollar Dominance Under Multiple, Converging Threats; retrieved again 27 July 2025). Only a relative few in America see the writing on the wall, yet biblical prophecies show us that it will indeed occur, and this world continues moving in that direction.” According to my notes, one of the first times that I spoke about the US National Debt was July 30th, 2019. It was $22.5 trillion. Today it’s at $37.1 trillion! 

So, while God’s living word does show us that gold and silver will one day be considered worse than useless (cf. Ezekiel 7:19), His living word also shows us that gold and silver will still have value even after the USA and her Anglo-Saxon allies will have been subjugated (cf. Daniel 11:39-43). Indeed, the US dollar will fully collapse, and some type of European-backed currency will be implemented, possibly the Euro, to replace the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. 

We hope and pray that you are taking the proper spiritual steps to be “ …’ counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.’” – Luke 21:36. □
