World News In Relation to Biblical Prophecy ── April 20, 2026


While the world is focused on the war in Ukraine and in the Islamic Regime of Iran, as well as the matter with the Strait of Hormuz, the European Union is continuing to work on, make, and implement trade deals around the world (See: ABS CBN - Trust in EU grows in Southeast Asia, but challenges remain).

Now, the European Union is the largest trading partner with the continent of Africa, and several months ago, they held a summit meeting in Angola in order to try to further trade between each other. In the meantime, Europe is also planning an increase in trade with South America ──

EU-MERCOSUR Agreement to provisionally apply from 1 May 2026

The European Commission has formally notified Mercosur countries of the European Union’s decision to proceed with the provisional application of the EU-Mercosur interim Trade Agreement (iTA).

The notification was made through a note verbale addressed to Paraguay, the legal custodian of Mercosur treaties, completing the final procedural requirement in line with the Council Decision of 9 January 2026.

As a result, the agreement is set to apply provisionally from 1 May 2026 between the European Union and those Mercosur countries that have completed their ratification procedures and notified the EU before the end of March. Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay have already completed this process, while Paraguay has recently ratified the agreement and is expected to notify shortly.

There are reports that point to roughly 780 million people within the EU-MERCOSUR bloc; if you add the associated member countries, it’s some 1 billion people.

The EU is conducting trade negotiations away from the United States of America. Properly understood biblical prophecies are truly coming to fulfillment.

>>> Also in world news, the Europeans are looking at expanding the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) and increasing its power (See: ZeroHedgeWill Europe Have Its Own FBI? Polish MEP Sounds Alarm Over EU's Planned Expansion Of Powers For Europol).

The EU continues to move towards its policing and surveillance of its citizens. And Europol is simply just one aspect of it ──

Durov slams Soros-backed ‘globalist’ EU censorship

The EU is relying on non-governmental organizations, bankrolled by billionaire financier George Soros, as well as controlled media to justify its push for more online surveillance and censorship, Telegram founder Pavel Durov has said.

On Wednesday, state-owned broadcaster France 24 reported on a study by NGO AI Forensics that said nearly 25,000 users in Spanish and Italian Telegram groups had shared thousands of images of naked women, often in exchange for money, while also engaging in doxxing and harassment of women. …

AI Forensics blamed Telegram for failure to clampdown on such groups and advised the EU to classify it as a “very large online platform” (VLOP), which allows for stricter oversight under the bloc’s Digital Services Act (DSA).

In his response to the France 24 article on Thursday, Durov described as “crazy” the suggestion that his platform “is a PROBLEM because people can discuss content from OTHER social media in PRIVATE Telegram groups.”

However, the narrative by AI Forensics, which is “a Soros-funded contractor to the European Commission,” is being widely distributed by the press, including “globalist outlets” like El Pais, Der Spiegel and Wired along with French media, he said in a post on Telegram.

O indeed, the EU desires even more censorship of its citizens. And yes, they will continue to use non-governmental agencies and organizations to do so.

About four years ago, the EU announced it was launching surveillance software ──

The EU is allowing the linking of face recognition databases to create a mega surveillance system

Digital rights advocates are accusing the EU of working to create the world’s biggest biometric surveillance infrastructure, thanks to a proposal known as “Prüm II.”

The original Prüm Convention was signed in 2005 by Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Spain, outside of the EU’s framework – but “open” to the bloc’s other member countries, 14 out of 27 of which have since joined.

The treaty is meant to increase cross-border cooperation in tackling crime and terrorism. What this has meant so far is that the parties to the treaty have been collecting, processing, and sharing data like fingerprints, DNA, information about owners of vehicles, and the like.

But “Prüm II” is supposed to expand on this cooperation by making one significant addition: facial recognition data. And the scale at which the EU plans to use this highly controversial, from the human rights and privacy point of view, technology, is described in reports as “unprecedented,” incorporating the faces of millions of people.

The massive database would then be available to police in various countries across Europe to match against photos of suspects using facial recognition algorithms, in an automated process.

Yes… according to God’s living word in prophecy, this EU surveillance of its citizens will get much worse! (cf. Amos 8:11-12; Revelation 13:1-18).

God’s living word shows us that a Catholic-led European ‘beast’ power ── a final seventh resurrection of the “Holy” Roman Empire ── is soon to rise that will literally control how one buys or sells, as in trade. And, in Revelation the 13th chapter it talks about this great end-time ‘beast’ power which will arise ──

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and [bond], to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17) and that no one may BUY OR SELL except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” – Revelation 13:16-17.

The ability to buy and sell.

That will be a devastating and dictatorship “police” policy! And yes, it will be based within a Catholic-led European “United States of Europe”! They will control whether you, personally, can buy or sell determined on whether you have received “the mark” ── whether you do the “sign of the cross,” support, or brandish the Catholic “Christian” cross, along with supporting the revitalized Roman Catholic Church+State.

The LORD God’s living word shows us that Europe will once again reorganize (though as strong as ‘iron mixed with clay’), and a strong and charismatic European leader will rise once again ──

“’ The TEN HORNS which you saw are ten kings [or, kingdoms ── as God views kingdoms] who have received no kingdom yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast [a final Catholic influenced United States of Europe; also known as a final “Holy” Roman Empire]. 13) These are of ONE MIND, and they will give power and authority to the beast.’” – Revelation 17:12-13.

O yes, coming to a European town near you ── another dictator!

>>> Concerning the United States of America, the “Vicar of Christ” made the following statement ──

Pope Leo says 'delusion of omnipotence' is fueling U.S.-Israeli war in Iran

ROME (AP) — In his strongest words yet, Pope Leo XIV on Saturday denounced the “delusion of omnipotence” that is fueling the U.S.-Israel war in Iran and demanded political leaders stop and negotiate peace. …

History's first U.S.-born pope didn't mention the United States or President Donald Trump in his prayer, which was planned before the talks were announced. But Leo's tone and message appeared directed at Trump and U.S. officials, who have boasted of U.S. military superiority and justified the war in religious terms.

Well … “those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” One should get their own house in order before criticizing someone else’s. Wouldn’t you say that the US certainly had “great pride in our military strength and superiority” during World War II? Is this “Vicar of Christ” actually supporting our enemies?

That was not a “bold” statement by this false prophet, it was showing his true colors ──

“I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.” – Revelation 13:11.

“Will someone please tell Pope Leo [XIV] that Iran has killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed, protesters in the last two months, and that for Iran to have a Nuclear Bomb is absolutely unacceptable,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Thank you for your attention to this matter. AMERICA IS BACK!!!

US President Donald Trump delivered an extraordinary broadside against Pope Leo XIV on Sunday night, saying he did not think the supreme pontiff of the Catholic Church is “doing a very good job” and that “he's a very liberal person,” while also suggesting the pontiff should “stop catering to the radical left.”

Flying back to Washington from Florida, Trump used a lengthy social media post to sharply criticize the pope, then, after landing, continued in comments to reporters on the tarmac.

“I'm not a fan of Pope Leo (XIV),” he said. …

While it is not unusual for popes and presidents to be at cross purposes, it is rare for the pontiff to directly criticize a US leader. …

“Pope Leo (XIV) is weak on crime, and terrible for foreign policy,” the US president wrote in his post, adding, “I don't want a pope who thinks it's OK for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.”

Now, I personally agree with our beloved President of the United States, Donald Trump ── no one that is in their right mind should “want Iran to have a nuclear weapon”! This false prophet has gone on to say, ’God does not bless any conflict.’ 1 Which is absolutely INCORRECT!

It is true that in this 21st century, the USA would be considered the “strongest fortresses” (cf. Daniel 11:39) with the strongest and greatest military in the world! And that’s not a “delusion of omnipotence” ── The United States is the strongest country in the world in terms of military power in 2026! 2

Sadly, however, there is coming a time when the United States of America will be “neutralized.”

Well … can a great nation among nations be subjugated and conquered?

Yes. One only needs to look to the late great Roman Empire for the answer.

Could America’s European “friends” be involved in our subjugation and our neutralization militarily?

Yes.

Let us notice what the Prophet Jeremiah, under divine inspiration, wrote concerning this dual prophecy ──

“How lonely sits the city That was full of people! How like a widow is she, Who was great among the nations! The princess among the provinces Has become a slave!

2) She weeps bitterly in the night, Her tears are on her cheeks; Among all her lovers She has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; They have become her enemies.

3) Judah has gone into captivity, Under affliction and hard servitude; She dwells among the nations, She finds no rest; All her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.” – Lamentations 1:1-3.

Now, this did take place in 605 BC! THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN! So, many prophecies are dual – they have an earlier fulfillment, and they have a much larger, more significant fulfillment in the latter days! And this will be one of those latter days fulfillments.

Verse 12 – “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold and see If there is any sorrow like my sorrow, Which has been brought on me, Which the LORD has inflicted In THE DAY OF HIS FIERCE ANGER.” – the Day of the Lord!

In Revelation chapter 13 we see John, inspired by God, talking about basically the same thing Daniel was talking about. And this confuses a lot of people – and has throughout the time. Folks, it should not confuse you, it’s actually very easy to understand if you use all of the Bible to let it interpret itself.

Notice chapter 13 – “And I [John] stood on the sand of the sea.” Now, he’s seeing a vision also, much like Daniel. “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.” – now these ‘seven heads’ are the seven resurrections of the “Holy” Roman Empire. And those ‘ten horns’ are the ten kings or the ten kingdoms that make up the final installment of the “Holy” Roman Empire. The same thing as we see back in Daniel – the ‘ten horns.’

Verse 2 – “Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard … feet of a bear, … and his mouth like the mouth of a lion.” – and those are the very things we see early on in the Book of Daniel. The final installment of the “Holy” Roman Empire, as it were, would be a bit of all of these kingdoms. And then it says Verse 5 – “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months [3 ½ years].”

Verse 7 – “It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8) All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life …” Verse 11 talks about another beast – “…and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.” – and that is that great religious leader. Verse 12 – “And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, …” Verse 13 – this is so important – this great religious leader – “… performs great signs, so that he even makes fire [or lightning] come down from heaven on the earth by those signs [“miracles”] which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, …” A little later on it talks about Verse 16 – “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, …” And I know a lot of people have speculated, what is the so-called “Mark of the Beast”? I’m just going to tell you ── it is the sign and the symbol of the cross.

This modern world will be in utter shock when the United States of America is subjugated, and astonished that Europe could do this. Yet, it will eventually occur ── according to the LORD our God. □
