World News in Relation to Biblical Prophecy ── June 21, 2026


Again, at the top of the page, in bold, capitalized letters ── the Trump Administration proudly announced a “deal” with the evil and vile Islamic Regime of Iran led by an interim leadership council and a core group of influential Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)! NO REGIME CHANGE! The Gulf states now feel “left in the lurch and exposed by the US-Iran deal.”
Media reports alleged that the UAE moved billions of frozen funds to Iran in exchange for a halt in attacks on its territory, which Abu Dhabi has denied. …

Gulf states have found themselves stuck between a wounded but emboldened Iran and an unreliable alliance with the US. …

Meanwhile, Iran “has survived and overcome the US and Israeli decapitation campaign and also demonstrated that it can strike back and use Hormuz for leverage,” [Chatham House Middle East expert Neil Quilliam] said.

In an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, Trump suggested Gulf states pay for American protection against Iran.

“The Gulf states are being subjected to what amounts to blackmail by both Iran and the United States,” [Hasan Alhasan of the International Institute for Strategic Studies] said.

This “terrible” (in my humble opinion) Memorandum of Understanding has grave issues! (See: There's A Deadly Flaw in This Iran "Deal"!). Here are five reasons, I too, believe are reasons why it is a terrible “deal” ──

  1. Lack of transparency and unclear terms. Many details — such as how Iran’s enriched uranium will be handled, the scope of sanctions relief, and the exact conditions for nuclear disarmament — remain vague.
  2. No real nuclear weapons ban. Iran hawks warn Tehran may use the financial lifeline to rebuild militarily and organizationally, undermining the deal’s long-term security benefits.
  3. Sanctions relief without full integration. The agreement allows Iran to immediately restart oil exports free from U.S. trade and banking sanctions.
  4. Strategic concessions without reciprocal gains. It includes Gulf state contributions to a $300 billion reconstruction fund.
  5. Political and diplomatic skepticism. Iran’s leaders have a history of prioritizing their nuclear program over economic prosperity. 1
The MOU is seen as a placeholder rather than a final peace deal.

President Trump just simply says, ‘Well… if they don’t cooperate, we’ll just go back to bombing them!’ So, he’s giving them 60 days to rearm and resupply their weapons? Mr. President, when a boxer has his opponent on the ropes, you go for a KO!! I realize that Mr. Trump has said that ‘the deal isn’t final,’ but why isn’t he “finishing the job”? ── that's beyond me!

President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, is praising this MOU ──

I welcome the agreement reached between the US and Iran, following sustained diplomatic efforts by several partners.
The priority now is its swift and full implementation by all parties.
This agreement should allow for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Freedom of navigation must be restored toll-free. …
— Ursula von der Leyen (@vonderleyen) June 15, 2026

O indeed, this vile Islamic Regime of Iran is two-faced. One part of its regime is not endorsing this MOU and refused to sign it, and the other part of their regime signed it.

Now, while President Donald Trump has posted, “This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region,” we do not believe that it will. I remember as a child watching on television one of the first renditions of Elmer J. Fudd ── Egghead. A Day at the Zoo, in which Egghead, the main character, repeatedly taunts a lion in its cage. The narrator warns Egghead to stop provoking the lion. He did not stop. At the end of the cartoon, the lion inside the cage opens its mouth ── and from within the stomach of the lion, Egghead’s eyes appear, and his voice echoes, “I’m a baaad boy!” Moral of the story? If you poke at an Asiatic lion repeatedly or persistently, you are almost certainly provoking a defensive or predatory attack.

We should consider the following prophecy ──

“For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:3.

Certainly, while the above prophecy does have a future fulfillment, it is a dire warning to not just blindly accept a ‘declaration of peace in our time’ with a nation that is led by a demon! This is why I often quote Neville Chamberlain when he returned from his appeasement of Adolf Hitler, and his raising a signed agreement that Nazi Germany would not continue the war if only France and the UK permitted Hitler to incorporate the Sudetenland – and they did! Announcing to the crowd and to the world, and now the Leftists are saying we have all heard this wrong for nearly 86 years! – “Peace in our time!” The talk of any true peace apart from the LORD God is hollow and without the understanding of mankind’s true nature.

JUDAH ── our allies in the Middle East, known as Israel, do not like this MOU ──

Israel, Stunned by Trump’s Iran Deal, Sees It as a ‘Catastrophic Capitulation’

Israel awoke to a frightening new reality on Thursday as it absorbed, with disbelief and largely in silence, the terms of President Trump’s preliminary agreement to end the war with Iran.

It accomplishes none of Israel’s war aims, analysts and officials said, and arguably leaves the country in worse shape on each of them.

Regime change? The government in Tehran is emerging from the war even more hardline and emboldened, despite being decapitated at the outset of the conflict in late February. The deal’s requirement that American forces retreat from the “proximity” of Iran within 30 days means that Iran can boast that it has chased the U.S. military out of the region. …

David Horovitz, the editor of The Times of Israel, called it “a catastrophic capitulation,” in the headline of a fiery opinion column. …

The prime minister said Israel would stick to its ultimate goal: “Iran will not have nuclear weapons.”

Yes, Israel is in a very difficult position. It has to support this MOU, but with a history of 45 Years of Revolution, Resistance, and Conflict, the Islamic Regime of Iran will surely violate this MOU.

I want you to notice that there is coming, at the end of this present evil age, not only the fact that the Roman Catholic Church will work together with a future conglomerate of Islamic nations, called ‘king of the South’ in God’s word, but His living word also shows us that this future great religious leader will turn against this “Madhi” ── this final ‘king of the South.’ Notice the following dual prophecy, showing us that this final Islamic power will be defeated ──

“’ At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him [a final Catholic-led European civic and military leader, called the ‘king of the North’]; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries [the Middle Eastern countries], overwhelm them, and pass through. 41) He shall also enter the Glorious Land [Palestine], and many countries shall be overthrown; but these [initially] shall escape from his hand: Edom [which is Turkey], Moab [which is Iraq], and the prominent people of Ammon [or Jordan]. 42) He shall stretch out his hand [the ‘king of the North’] against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape’” – Daniel 11:40-42.

Now … the following end-time prophecy given to the Prophet Ezekiel also concerns the great and terrible Day of the Lord, “a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles” ── which is exactly what we are speaking about here. Now, mind you, even today most of these following nations are primarily Islamic! THE DAY OF THE LORD! It is prophetically linked to the meaning of the Day of Atonement. And it’s in the future, and we’re simply not that far away from it. Prophet Daniel in chapter 11, verses 40-43 shows us that Edom (Turkey) will initially escape the wrath of the final Catholic-led European ‘king of the North.’ Prophet Ezekiel shows us that Egypt and her allies, including Arabs, will be DESTROYED!

“’ For the DAY is near [speaking of the Day of the Lord], even the day of the LORD is near; it will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles. 4) The sword shall come upon Egypt, And great anguish shall be in Ethiopia, When the slain fall in Egypt, And they take away her wealth, And her foundations are broken down’” – Ezekiel 30:3-4.

>>> Staying here in the United States of America, the Trump Administration, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States. (See: Anthropic - Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5). Anthropic is an American artificial intelligence (AI) company headquartered in San Francisco, California. It has developed a series of large language models (LLMs) named Claude. The practical reason why the U.S. government banned Fable 5 & Mythos 5 ── Anthropic cannot reliably verify the nationality of every user in real time at scale.

The U.S. export controls are pushing European companies to create their own AI models. Siemens, Renault, and other major European firms are already using a mix of Chinese, U.S., and European models because of this ban.

To most Americans this probably doesn’t mean much, but sadly, this is but another unintended consequence of the Trump Administration “pushing” Europe further away from America as an ally and to more of a frenemy. The US ── under the Trump Administration ── is increasingly isolating itself. And even though I believe that what the Trump Administration did was for the security of our nation ── the following prophecy is getting ever closer to fulfillment ──

“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.” – Lamentations 1:1-2.

The United States of America has become ‘great [AGAIN] among the nations!’

“Thus he [a soon coming final Catholic-led “United States of Europe” civic and military leader, also called in prophecy the final ‘king of the North’] 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.

In fact, Germany is responding to the Trump Administration, and is increasing its military ──
June 14, 2026

Germany pledges to build Europe's strongest army as NATO allies answer Trump pressure.

Germany is pledging to become a more powerful military force inside NATO, with Berlin's ambassador to Washington telling Fox News Digital that the country is ready to assume greater responsibility for European security after decades in which the United States carried much of the alliance's military burden.

“Germany is stepping up — we heard the call!” …

Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said Germany's armed forces should become the strongest conventional army in Europe, a goal Hanefeld said is now backed by Berlin's new military strategy.

The iconic Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany with a flag of the AfD. (Ai-generated)

Now, most would applaud this. “Germany, finally stepping up!” Well, there’s a phrase, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Germany started WWI ── Germany started World War I on August 1, 1914, when Germany declared war on Russia. It then moved against France, capturing Paris from the north. The war began after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914. Germany started WWII ── technically, it began in Europe on September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. Great Britain and France responded by declaring war on Germany on September 3. OH! But you say, “That was Germany of the old, we have a new Germany! A Germany that has left all that ‘Nazism’ – that far-right totalitarian ideology behind.” Notice this fairly recent report ──

Germany’s far-right and hard-left politics boomerang back to the horseshoe theory

Horseshoes may bring luck in life, but rarely in politics. …

A century on, the horseshoe theory is back like a boomerang with speculation that a hard-left party could open the door to power for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). …

Horseshoe theory posits that the far-left and far-right are closer to each other than to the political center, despite their ideological differences. A THIRD and final door will be opened as prophesied by our LORD God in this dual prophecy ──

“And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24) He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.” – Daniel 11:23 24.

As the king of the Seleucid Empire, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, did. He outlawed Jewish religious rites and traditions, as in ‘taking away the daily sacrifices.’ So, this final civic and military leader of a Catholic-led United Europe will do the same. He, too ── as had Antiochus IV ── will cultivate a reputation as an extravagant and generous ruler. Offering peace. In the beginning.

Yes, indeed ── and let us always thank Almighty God, and all of our wonderful and brave Veterans ── the Nazi German & European alliance was utterly defeated by Western powers in WWI & WWII! So, in this sense, his fathers of WWII and his forefathers of WWI of a soon-coming final ‘king of the North’ had failed to defeat the Western powers (the USA and the UK respectively), however ‘he shall devise his plans against the strongholds’ and shall accomplish ── but only for a short time.

Flashback November 9, 1989. As I sat on our couch in the living room watching the nightly news, the reporter excitedly announced, “I’m Peter Jennings in New York. Just a short while ago, astonishing news from East Germany where the east German authorities have said in essence, ‘the Berlin Wall doesn’t mean anything anymore. The Wall that the east Germans had put up in 1961 to keep its people in will now be breached by anyone who wants to leave.’” And I was shocked! ── because even then, at such a young age, I knew the LORD God’s dual prophecies concerning GERMANY! God’s living word teaches us that there is coming a final Catholic-led European ‘king of the North’ beast power that will have “a great army” – Daniel 11:25. And the U.S. ── several U.S. administrations recognized that a strong West German military was essential to NATO’s defense of Western Europe. The most notable push came from the Eisenhower administration in the early 1950s, but the Kennedy administration and later leaders also reinforced this policy ── so, to be fair, let’s not just “blame Trump!” □

King Charles III meets Trump in Oval Office, delivers historic address to Congress in state visit

King Charles III presented President Donald Trump with a historic naval artifact during Tuesday’s state dinner, delivering the moment with a joke that drew laughter from the room.

The King gifted Trump the original bell from HMS Trump, a British submarine launched in 1944 that served in the Pacific during World War II. …

King Charles III on Tuesday joked that the British once made their own “small attempt” at real estate redevelopment of the White House during the War of 1812, when British forces set the White House on fire. …

President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed that King Charles III “agrees” with his position that Iran should be stopped from having a nuclear weapon.

“We’re doing a little Middle East work right now,” Trump said. “And we’re never going to let that opponent ever — Charles agrees with me, even more than I do — we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon. Our countries have stood together, defiant, triumphant against the forces of communism, fascism and tyranny,” Trump said during a state dinner at the White House.

“History has known no more powerful force than the combination of American patriotism and British pride,” he added. …

King Charles III on Tuesday affirmed the importance of the U.S.-U.K. relationship, …

King Charles toasts “indispensable” U.S.-U.K. alliance in state dinner hosted by Trump, after rare address to Congress

What to know about King Charles' visit to D.C.
  • King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited the White House for a state dinner hosted by President Trump and first lady Melania Trump. The two heads of state enthusiastically toasted the U.S.-U.K. alliance at the start of the dinner, despite some areas of disagreement between their countries.
  • Earlier Tuesday, the king addressed Congress, speaking about what he called the “truly unique” relationship between the U.K. and the U.S. and repeatedly stressing the importance of the alliance. He received a standing ovation when he said, “executive power is subject to checks and balances.” …
  • The king and queen are in the U.S. to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Trump said that "no tribute could be more appropriate" than their visit.
Trump and Charles highlight U.S.-U.K. alliance — but challenges lurk in background.

Both President Trump and King Charles III spoke about the U.S. and U.K.'s alliance in glowing terms at the start of Tuesday's state dinner, though points of disagreement between the two countries remain.

The king called the alliance “indispensable,” highlighting the U.S.’s role in helping Europe rebuild after World War II and later setting up NATO — bringing up a delicate subject for Mr. Trump, who has long felt that NATO member countries do not spend enough money on their own defense and are overly reliant on the alliance.

He also said the countries should “reaffirm…the basis on which our partnership has been built,” in light of new challenges like shared foreign adversaries and the risks of new technologies. …

The king later joked: “You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French.”

I, personally, watched this whole address to the US Congress──and, ironically, I noticed the “No kings’ Democrats giving King Charles III a standing ovation! 1

Can you say──hypocrites?

As we are aware, brethren, the United Kingdom and the United States of America has had a long and special relationship. God’s living prophecies point to the US as being Manasseh and the UK as being Ephraim. They were two sons of Joseph (the first of the two sons of Jacob/Israel and Rachel). They were given great blessings by their grandfather Jacob/Israel ── “So he blessed them that day, saying, ‘By you Israel will bless, saying, ‘May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh!’ And thus, he set Ephraim before Manasseh.” – Genesis 48:20. For additional details, see also Freedom - A True Blessing From God.

Well … let’s review a point that King Charles III brought up concerning the United States of America.

King Charles III made a comment concerning an off the cuff and humorous remark made by President Trump that “the US would be speaking German” had we not won World War II──made during a World Economic Forum event. In truth, I believe the question of what would have happened if the Germans had won the war belongs to counterfactual history, and it can only be speculated about.

It absolutely needs to be pointed out, however, that God’s living prophecies do indeed point to the fact that a reorganized and revitalized “United States of Europe” led by a strong and powerful German government actually winning for a time in what could be called a World War III is just on the horizon ──

“And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24) He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, BUT ONLY FOR A TIME.” – Daniel 11:23-24.

This, anciently, is describing Antiochus IV Epiphanes’ deceptive tactics during his invasion of Egypt around 170-168 BC. He entered Egypt under the guise of peace, gradually seizing control of towns and eventually the Egyptian king himself, all the while claiming that he was an ally. In contrast to the fact that the European German alliance of 1914-1918 (WWI) and then 1939-1945 (WWII) were both utterly defeated. But, in this dual prophecy, a final ‘king of the North’ ── a final Catholic-led European civic and military leader ── is going to accomplish what his forefathers and fathers were unable to do. Defeat the strongholds. This revitalized and reorganized final “Holy” Roman Empire will defeat the military alliances of the United States of America and the United Kingdom.

Now… speaking about language. God’s living word in prophecy has this to say ──

“’ The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44) He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. 45) Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. …

47) Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the ABUNDANCE OF EVERYTHING, 48) therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you. 49) The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50) a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young. 51) And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.

52) They shall besiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which the LORD you God has given you.’” – Deuteronomy 28:43-45, 47-52.

This was written during the children of Israel’s desert wanderings, describing severe consequences for disobedience to God, warning about potential subjugation and exile if they didn’t follow and obey the LORD God’s Law.

In this prophecy ── and what was will be again cf. Ecclesiastes 1:9 ── an indebted people are prophesied to be subjugated and lose their sovereignty by a people whose language they do not understand. Sadly, in this 21st century, the US is the most indebted nation, and Habakkuk chapter 2 also prophesies the destruction of an indebted nation.

King Charles III said, “I pray with all my heart that our alliance will continue to defend our shared values, with our partners in Europe and the Commonwealth, and across the world, and that we ignore the clarion calls to become ever more inward-looking.” 2

Sadly, God’s living word actually shows that this alliance and shared values will eventually come to an end. His word shows us in prophecy that the one who is great among the nations will be dealt treacherously by her friends, who become her enemies ── Lamentations 1:1-2.

Let us continue to pray the prayer that King Charles III prays ── “God bless the United States and God bless the United Kingdom.” □

The Future of the United Kingdom: Will It Survive?



Notice this, published by the European Conservative ──
Will There Always Be an England?

Most Americans are Anglophiles. It’s in our blood. Yes, our ancestors fought a bloody revolution to free ourselves from the British crown, but outside of the United Kingdom itself, you will find no people more eager to swoon over British royalty than Americans. More substantively, our love and admiration for the British has to do with a heady mix of Churchill, Wilberforce, Tolkien, Lennon and McCartney, and other extraordinary examples of courage, wisdom, and creativity. 

For an American, it’s not only shocking but also painful to see what is happening to Britain today. The country of the Magna Carta, the nation that gave the world liberal democracy, and a people who stood indomitably against the Nazi totalitarian menace, succumbed to utter demoralization and soft (for now) totalitarianism imposed on them by a corrupt ruling class. How far away seem the lyrics to the popular 1939 patriotic song “There’ll Always Be An England,” which lifted spirits through the Blitz:

There’ll always be an England, 
And England shall be free 
If England means as much to you 
As England means to me.

It has become possible now to doubt that sentimental claim—precisely because England has ceased to mean much to its ruling class, and to many Englishmen. A friend who is a respected member of the British establishment wrote to me last week in despair. 

“No sign it’s going to get any better, or that there is any way the country can come back from this,” he said. “We’ve faced wars, recessions, and pandemics for centuries, but this is different. You can’t reverse the slow dissolution of an entire culture and people, which is what is happening to the English.”

What prompted those black-pilled lines was my telling him of a dinner conversation I had had the night before in Budapest. I dined with a middle-class English couple in the Hungarian capital to take possession of a flat they had just bought as a kind of bolt hole, to escape their native land if it becomes necessary. One of them had been born in the UK to parents who escaped the 1956 Soviet occupation of Hungary. They had gone west seeking ordered liberty; now their son and his family were contemplating reversing the course for the same reason. 

The wife told me that she is friends with a white British couple who lost their daughter for a couple of years to a Pakistani grooming gang. The mum and dad went to the police, begging for help. As with so many white British people in similar circumstances, they received none. Celebrate diversity! … 

Will the British find it within themselves to resist and reverse colonial subjugation by their own ruling class? Or is my despairing English correspondent right, and the “dissolution of an entire culture and people” too far along to stop? 

If you wanted to dissolve a nation—that is, a distinct people—it would be hard to beat the formula the British ruling class, both Labour and Tory, have implemented. Among them: 
  • Deny in culture and policy that there is much of anything worth celebrating about the historic peoples of the United Kingdom, and handing down (tradere) to the next generations …
  • Open the borders to mass migration, supported by propaganda that attempts to convince the native population that this process is both historically irresistible and morally correct …
  • Practice a governing approach called “anarcho-tyranny,” in which the authorities use their power to punish the innocent and the law-abiding, while allowing criminals and anti-social elements to roam free 
(https://europeanconservative.com/articles/commentary/will-there-always-bean-england/).
Kind of reminds us of what was occurring in the United States of America ── before President Donald Trump!

Indeed, we wonder if there will always be an England. God’s living, indelible, and immutable word in prophecy tells us of her terrible downfall.  The LORD God’s words within these dual prophecies state unequivocally ── 

“’ I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you; your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.’” – Leviticus 26:33.

Electromagnetic pulse weapons (EMPs), or other high-tech weapons, including even nuclear, are certainly ways to make the land desolate and our cities laid waste.

“’ 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.’ 24) All nations would say, ‘Why has the LORD done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’” – Deuteronomy 29:23-29. 

Certainly, the “whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning” could be consistent with a nuclear-type attack or an asteroid striking the land! 

Let us also consider the following from the prophets Ezekiel and Isaiah ── 

“ … ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD to the mountains [the nations], to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys: ‘Indeed I, even I, will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places. 4) Then your altars shall be desolate, your incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain men before your idols. … 6) In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, your idols may be broken and made to cease, …’” – Ezekiel 6:3-7. 

“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.

Sadly, no, there will NOT “always be an England.” Nor, for that matter, a United States of America ── certainly not an America like the one that was originally founded.

The British Empire at its territorial peak in 1921

Consider this about the once great British Empire ──
The Biggest Empires in Human History 

In 1913, 412 million people lived under the control of the British Empire, 23 percent of the world's population at that time. It remains the largest empire in human history,  and at the peak of its power in 1920, it covered an astonishing 13.71 million square miles - that's close to a quarter of the world's land area. At its height, it was described as "the empire on which the sun never sets," but of course, the sun finally did set on it. Today, Britannia no longer rules the waves, and its remnants consist of 14 small dependent and unincorporated territories scattered across the world, such as the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar. 1
According to the left-wing biased Wikipedia, the United Kingdom now only covers 94,354 square miles. The UK includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland, and most of the smaller islands within the British Isles.

Sadly, that is a drastic reduction in size by 99%! The UK will continue to lose even more territory as well as, and eventually being completely subjugated.

Despite our love and hope for Britain’s future, God’s living word in prophecy is consistent in her continuing to lose even more territory ── 

“’ DO NOT defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25) For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. 

26) You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger [foreigner; immigrant] who dwells among you 27) (FOR ALL THESE ABOMINATIONS THE MEN OF THE LAND HAVE DONE, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28) lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.’” – Leviticus 18:24-28.

“’ And IF by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me, 24) then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you seven times for your sins. 25) And I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; when you are gathered together within your cities I will send pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.’” – Leviticus 26:23-25; see also Deuteronomy 28:58-63. 

Her continuing territorial losses will include Northern Ireland as well as Gibraltar. England, Wales, and Scotland (including her naval presence in Cyprus and other areas). Yes, sadly, the great United Kingdom will be no more. 

God’s living word in prophecy ties great abominations and a lack of national repentance for the reason that the LORD God sends a mighty nation against Ephraim – Assyria (the final king of the North, a final resurrection of a United States of Europe) that will ultimately become Ephraim’s/England’s sovereign ruler ──  

“’ I taught Ephraim to walk, Taking them by their arms; But they did not know that I healed them. … 5) … But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to REPENT. 6) And the sword shall slash in his cities, Devour his districts, And consume them, Because of their own counsels. 

7) My people are bent on backsliding from Me, Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him.’” – Hosea 11:3, 5-7. 

We are beginning to see in this 21st century the utter SHAME OF OUR NATIONAL SINS, of the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth Nations, of the United States of America, who instead of nationally repenting, instead embrace ever-greater abominations against the LORD God! Assyria (modern-day Germany) is prophesied to be the rod of God’s anger against unrepentant nations. (See: Isaiah 10:5-12). 

We are continuing to witness in this final 11:59 hour, world affairs that are aligning with properly understood biblical two-fold prophecies. □

U.S. President Unveils the ‘Golden Dome’ Missile Shield

China Reacts to Trump's 'Golden Dome' Missile Shield

China said it is “gravely concerned” by U.S. President Donald Trump‘s proposed “Golden Dome” anti-missile defense system and urged him to abandon the project.

Why It Matters 

American military leaders have consistently warned that nations like China and Russia are developing advanced missile technologies that outpace existing U.S. defenses. Golden Dome is intended to close that gap. 

What To Know

“This highly offensive system violates the principle of peaceful use of outer space,” said Mao Ning, a spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, at a press briefing on Wednesday morning.   

“It will exacerbate the risk of turning outer space into a battlefield and starting an arms race, and shake the international security and arms control system.”

Trump’s Golden Dome Fulfills Reagan’s ‘Star Wars’ 

Trump has unveiled his administration’s preferred concept for the Golden Dome program—a sprawling $175-billion initiative that will mark the first time the U.S. deploys weapons in space.  

Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump said he expects the system to be “fully operational before the end of my term,” which ends in 2029, and claimed it would be capable of intercepting missiles “even if they are launched from space.”

I recall President Ronald Reagan proposing this thing in 1983 ── the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), dubbed the Star Wars Program! I was 14 years old, and I loved the idea then - as I do now! PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.

However, will this shield prevent World War III? 

Sadly, no. 

In truth, God’s living word prophesies that the United States of America will eventually be “neutralized” ── or rather, subjugated by a foreign power. Notice these two-fold prophecies ──

“’ Thus he [a final Catholic European civic and military leader; what God’s word calls the final ‘king of the North’] 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. 

“’ Woe to Assyria [modern-day Germany and parts of the EU], the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hand is My indignation. 6) I will send him against an ungodly nation, And against the people of My wrath I will give him charge, TO SEIZE THE SPOIL, TO TAKE THE PREY, AND TO TREAD THEM DOWN LIKE THE MIRE OF THE STREETS. 

7) Yet he does not mean so; But it is in his heart to destroy, And cut off not a few nations.

8) For he says, ‘Are not princes altogether kings? 9) … Is not Samaria like Damascus? … 11) As I have done to Samaria and her idols, Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?’” – Isaiah 10: 5-7, 8, 11. 

Of course, there is great logic behind this initiative. It’s extremely important to be a nation that is on the cutting edge of technology in an ever-growing evil world! Yet, other nations are desiring the same type of protective technology. Notice ──

Kremlin blasts potential EU deployment of French nuclear bombers 

The French president floated the idea during a TV appearance on Tuesday, comparing it to the United States’s nuclear umbrella policy that guarantees Washington would reciprocate if its allies come under nuclear attack.

“We are ready to open this discussion. I will define the framework in a very specific way in the weeks and months to come.”

Germany wants nuclear bombers 

Germany’s armed forces are currently studying the possibility of acquiring nuclear bombers capable of using the new American B61-12 atomic bombs. 

Meanwhile, the Pentagon itself plans to deploy these new atomic bombs in the German region of Eifel, in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The German air force already has multi-tasking Tornado warplanes, which are already capable of deploying American atomic bombs. But those aircraft are going to be replaced, possibly, by European-developed Eurofighters, or by United States-manufactured F/A-18 Super Hornets. … 

Germany does not manufacture atomic weapons but has come to consider itself a nuclear power because it can use them.

In fact, a report from 2024 from the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS) reported, “The return of long-range US missiles to Europe. Amid Putin’s war in Ukraine and following Russian violations of arms-control measures, Washington and Berlin recently agreed to send American long-range missiles to Germany. Other European NATO allies are now seeking to acquire their own.” Nuclear bombers are aircraft loaded with nuclear missiles. The ‘Golden Dome’ is a proposed multi-layer defensive system in the United States, intended to counter the threat of ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles posed to the mainland.

Certainly, our Lord Jesus Christ had told His first-century disciples, as well as us today in this 21st-century present evil age, “’ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.’” – Matthew 24:6. (Be sure to watch our sermon, “Where Are We Headed?”) ── yet, the French, the Germans, and others in Europe have access to nuclear weapons and other even more advanced technologies (i.e. the Large Hadron Collider), which will, as we get ever-closer to ‘the end of this present age’ lead to the subjugation of the United States of America and her Anglo-Saxon allies. 

Back in January, and quite possibly even before then, I had written ── 
There is coming a time when the Europeans (possibly under the guise of pretending a NATO military exercise within North America) will launch a blitzkrieg attack against the United States of America in fulfillment of biblical prophecies. … 

Does this sound like a conspiracy theory? Notice this from our history ── 

How America’s Reasons For Entering World War I Resonate Today

April 6, 2017 

One hundred years ago today, the United States officially declared war on Germany and entered World War I. Days before the declaration of war, President Woodrow Wilson urged a special joint session of Congress to “formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it.”

Wilson had not wanted to do this. Indeed, he’d won reelection the previous fall as the antiwar candidate, running on the popular slogans “He kept us out of war” and “America First”—appeals to voters who wanted to stay out of a major European war and avoid a simmering conflict with Mexico.

But two events would change everything, and force Americans to accept that they could no longer avoid what had become a global conflict. The first was Germany’s resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare on passenger and merchant ships. The second was the “Zimmerman telegraph,” which revealed Germany’s attempt to forge a secret alliance with Mexico against the United States, promising to help Mexico recover territory it had ceded to the United States following the Mexican American War in 1848.

Both of these developments, like much of World War I, seem exotic and unimaginable today. A major military power attacking passenger ships with submarines? Mexico invading Texas? It’s easy to think we’ll never face such scenarios again, and we probably won’t face those particular scenarios. But as distant and strange as the First World War seems to us today, the reasons Wilson changed course and declared war hold vital relevance to our national life in the twenty-first century, and we ignore or misunderstand those reasons to our peril. 

The U.S. is still offering to send U.S. troops to Mexico to help Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum combat drug trafficking. If Mexico is unwilling or unable to get a grasp on this horrific scourge, will the U.S. be sending our troops across the border into Mexico to “take care of business”? 

Let us always keep in mind… and I’m sure the Leftist Democrats in America are… our beloved President Donald Trump won’t be in office forever. A weakened United States (as we certainly were in our last four years) could be ripe for a nuclear Europe (under the guise of a NATO exercise) to deploy a blitzkrieg attack upon our electrical infrastructure by way of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP)? While there are other ways to defeat a weakened United States, the point is that even the Iron Dome, a similar system, is not 100% effective. (Be sure to read our article, “Nuclear ── Greatest Threat”). 

God’s living word – the Holy Bible – shows us that a final United States of Europe will become a military powerhouse! cf. ── 

“And I saw one of 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 13:3-4. 

In vision, the Apostle John describes this final beast power having SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS! ──  

“Then I stood on the sand of the sea [the sea here represents a great multitude of peoples, nations, and languages along the Mediterranean Sea; see Revelation 17:15]. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS, …” – Revelation 13:1.

So, the sea that he references is the Mediterranean Sea ── see Daniel 7:2-3; Numbers 34:6-7; Joshua 1:4; 9:1; 23:4; Ezekiel 47:13-16. 

This massive “beast” power will come from a final Catholic United States of Europe. 

We have a new audio article ── “Part I – Ancient Roman Empire and Its Demise”. 

The Europeans ── because of the world conditions happening in this 21st century, i.e., many of the policies of Donald Trump, the Russia/Ukraine three long year war, the future of the transatlantic relationship, hybrid attacks across the continent, immigration concerns, and the question of how to approach a potential ceasefire in Ukraine  ── are growing closer to a final reunification.

The Prophet Daniel ── under divine inspiration ── in night visions, speaks of an end-time Europe in which its ‘feet will be partly of iron and partly of clay’ – yet, it will be united enough that the ‘whole world will come to marvel’ because of his great power, his throne, and his great authority!

Again, the words of our LORD God ── 

“’ I will scatter you among the nations, and draw out a sword after you; your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.’” – Leviticus 26:33.  

Like the opening lines of the movie Armageddon, “It happened before. It will happen again. It's just a question of when.” 

Nuclear, as well as the previously mentioned electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons, are certainly ways to cause the land to become desolate and modern cities to be laid waste.

Sadly, some are lulled into a false belief that Europe (our “allies”) would NEVER attack the United States of America or our Anglo-Saxon allies. Those who believe this don’t know their history or biblical prophecy.

Note:

World War I ── Germany started World War I on August 1, 1914, when Germany declared war on Russia. It then moved against France, capturing Paris from the north. The war began after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914. 

World War II ── technically, began in Europe on September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. Great Britain and France responded by declaring war on Germany on September 3.

Events to occur towards the end of this present evil age that resemble an all-out nuclear (or even partial nuclear) confrontation are part of God’s prophesied curses against a godless nation ──  

“’ 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. 

Now, of course, asteroids striking the Earth could cause “brimstone, salt, and burning” along with grave devastation such as raging fires, desolation, and cities laid waste. Interestingly, Scientists Uncover Ancient Salt Deposits on Asteroid Ryugu. 

Let us, friends, be of this mind ── 

“’ 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. 

Let us also continually pray, ‘Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.’ – Matthew 6:9, 10. □

United Kingdom "Resets" With European Union


Is the United Kingdom making a great reset trade deal with the European Union a prelude to the fulfillment of Hosea 5:13-14?



Sir Keir Starmer ── Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since 2024, believes that his administration has just made a great strategic deal with the European Union ── See: The Guardian - EU reset deal puts Britain back on the world stage, says Keir Starmer. 

Here is a portion of their joint statement, 19 May 2025, London ──
  1. We, the Leaders of the United Kingdom (UK) and of the European Union (EU), held our first UK-EU Summit in London on 19 May 2025. 
  2. Reaffirming our shared values and our commitment to deeper cooperation against the backdrop of an evolving and complex global geopolitical landscape, we agreed a new Strategic Partnership between the UK and EU. We agreed this would build on the stable foundation for our relationship set by the Withdrawal Agreement, including the Windsor Framework, and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, and reaffirmed our commitment to their full, timely and faithful implementation.
  3. We reflected on the need to develop an ambitious, dynamic relationship which meets the needs of our citizens. In this context, we welcomed a renewed agenda for European Union-United Kingdom cooperation – Common Understanding agreed between the United Kingdom and the European Commission, which covers our commitments on security, defence and development cooperation, to put people at the centre of our relationship, to strengthen our economies while protecting our planet and its resources, and on internal security, judicial cooperation, and irregular migration. We agreed to proceed swiftly with the undertakings set out therein, in accordance with our respective procedures and legal frameworks.
(Read more… https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ukeu-summit-keydocumentation/uk-eu-summit-joint-statement-html).

Truly, this great new strategic deal certainly may help their relationship and their economies, though there will be costs.

God’s living word in prophecy shows us a two-fold end-time prophecy in the Book of Hosea that there will be grave problems with Judah (the tiny nation in the Middle East known today as Israel), Ephraim (which is primarily the United Kingdom and parts of her Commonwealth) ── as well as with an end-time Assyria (modern-day Germany and parts of the EU).

Notice what the Prophet Hosea wrote, under divine inspiration, what would be fulfilled in this dual prophecy ──

“’ The PRIDE of Israel testifies to his face; Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; Judah also stumbles with them.’” – Hosea 5:5, NKJV throughout, unless otherwise noted. 

The Prophet Hosea, showing us in this dual prophecy that Israel (the United States of America (cf. Genesis 35:11), Ephraim (the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth Nations (cf. Genesis 35:11), and Judah (modern-day Israel), will have terrible problems. In its final fulfillment of this prophecy ── we can easily see the end-time prophecy of Daniel 11:39-40. Surely, the great United States of America will have pride in her military strength ── yet, a final Catholic European civic leader will “act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; …” Sadly, he will come to “rule over many, and divide the land for gain.”

The Prophet Hosea went on to prophesy in chapter 8, that the LORD God ── prophecies in Scripture often contain both immediate and future implications ── will send fire upon the cities of Israel and Judah. Note that the five cities of the plain, which included Sodom and Gomorrah, were destroyed by what we believe to have been an asteroid (keep in mind the Tunguska event of 1908). Those cities were primarily destroyed because of their out-of-control “sexual immorality” – the going after “strange flesh” (Jude 1:7). Truly, truly, those types of egregious sins are growing within the Anglo-Saxon nations!


Certainly, our peoples who do not properly understand that these words of the Eternal One apply to the modern descendants of Jacob/Israel will not understand ── 

“’ The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this Law.’” – Deuteronomy 29:29. 

Those who trust wholeheartedly in this world’s governmental systems and its perversities will have sudden destruction thrust upon them, and they will be destroyed ── 

“Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: ‘Because you despise this word, And trust in oppression and perversity, And rely on them, 13) Therefore this iniquity shall be to you Like a breach ready to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.’” – Isaiah 30:12-13. 

Sadly, the Anglo-Saxon nations, that were originally founded upon the principles of the Holy Bible, should know better. Yet, they will not repent. And the Prophet Hosea was inspired to write ──

“ … ‘the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent.’” – Hosea 11:5. 

God’s living word is clear that an end-time Assyria (modern-day Germany and parts of the EU) will be a great northern power that the LORD God will use to cause “the sword [to] slash in his cities, Devour his districts, And consume them, Because of their own counsels.”

The Lord GOD Himself says, “’ My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him.’” – Hosea 11:6-7. 

The United States of America and the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth Nations respectively will come to lose their sovereignty and will be subjugated by a “United States of Europe.”

Continuing in this dual end-time prophecy, the Prophet Hosea also wrote this will come about ──

“’ With their flocks and herds They shall go to seek the LORD [surely speaking of Judah officially reinstituting animal sacrifices], But they will not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.

7) They have dealt treacherously with the LORD, For they have begotten pagan children. Now a New Moon shall devour them and their heritage.’” – Hosea 5:6-7. 

He continues to record terrible troubles for our peoples in this end-time ──

“’ When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah saw his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria And sent to King Jareb; Yet he cannot cure you, Nor heal you of your wound. 14) For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them and go away; I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.’” – Hosea 5:13-14.

Ephraim (prophetically the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth Nations) went to Assyria (prophetically Germany and her European allies) and made a great strategic deal after their BREXIT. 

Also, notice this in chapter 8, in which Ephraim hires help, and Israel (the U.S.A. apparently is now subjugated) ── 

“’ Israel is swallowed up; Now they are among the Gentiles Like a vessel in which is no pleasure. 9) For they have gone up to Assyria, Like a wild donkey alone by itself; Ephraim has hired lovers.’” – Hosea 8:8-9. 

Also, notice this in chapter 12, Ephraim tries to make a covenant with the Assyrians ── 

“’ Ephraim feeds on the wind, And pursues the east wind; He daily increases lies and desolation. Also they make a covenant with the Assyrians, …’” – Hosea 12:1.

Truly, by Sir Keir Starmer’s administration trying to make a great strategic deal with the Europeans, as well as efforts by King Charles III, it looks to be setting the stage now for the United Kingdom to “hire help” in the future.

Notice in Hosea chapter 7, Ephraim also tries to make a deal with Egypt and Assyria. And, this covenant appears after the U.S.A. is subjugated ──  

“’ Ephraim also is like a silly dove, without sense ── They call to Egypt, They go to Assyria. 12) Wherever they go, I will spread My net on them; I will bring them down like birds of the air; I will chastise them According to what their congregation has heard.’” – Hosea 7:11-12. 

As far as I am aware, there is nowhere in world history that shows us that ancient Ephraim called upon Egypt for any help after the Prophet Hosea had written this prophecy. Since this prophecy must be fulfilled (cf. Matthew 24:34; Luke 24:44), that means it is an end-time prophecy ── God’s living word tells us that a final king of the North (an end-time Catholic United States of Europe) subjugates large swaths of the West before it invades and attacks the final king of the South (a confederation of Islamic nations). 

Soon coming in this 11:59 hour, the Ephraimites (as the LORD God sees these company of nations; the U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand respectively), along with Judah (modern-day Israel) believe they should seek protection from Assyria (again, modern-day Germany and parts of the EU), surely because the United States of America’s power has been neutralized. □
