THE LAST TRUMP?
“But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times *[of great stress and trouble] will come *[difficult days that will be hard to bear]. For people will be lovers of self *[narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money *[impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane, *[and they will be] unloving *[devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control *[intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of *[sensual] pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of *[outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power *[for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them.”
(2 Timothy 3: 1-5, *[Amplified Bible])
A leading article (in the footer) on page 2 of the 2004/2008, New Millennium Edition of The VOICE of Prophecy! is “ARE WE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS.” The article consists of an excerpted quote from 2 Timothy 3, verses 1 – 9, King James Version.
Donald Trump was not on the 2008 edition mailing list. Although I was aware of him (possibly due to his first presidential bid in 2000?); he was not on my radar as others were at the time. But since 2016, his second presidential race (which surprisingly he won), Trump has both featured in and been a recipient of successive Voice of Prophecy magazines. Indeed, the 2018, THE LAST TRUMP edition, looks at the potential impact of Trump’s first presidential term on the world. He also appears on the covers of the 2019 and 2020 magazines.
OF COURSE, the apostle Paul was writing to a first century (CE) audience; and the context shows he was concerned about false teachers infiltrating the faith community he and his co-workers built up and was leading. However, his time stamp of “the lasts days,” leads the reader to believe the conditions described will coincide with “the end of the age;” that the demise of his faith community is the evidence that the return of Yahusha is at hand. Paul also warned other followers of the period:
“…for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” (2 Thessalonians 2: 2-3, New King James)
Today, some “believers” would see these as prophetic words that apply to the Christian church. But churches don’t usually have “temples;” and to which of the many denominations (arguably none of which keep Yahusha’s commands) would they apply? There are evangelical Christian “churches” supporting followers of Judaism, in their effort to build a “third temple,” (Solomon’s and Herod’s being the first and second) in the Jerusalem of modern day Israel.
TRUTH BE TOLD
If there is one thing the Worldwide Church of God was right about (WCG, itself viewed by mainstream “Christianity” as a cult); it is that, by the close of the first century AD, the fledgling followers of “the way” were subsumed by the apostates Paul warned against.
John, the last surviving apostle, exiled on the Isle of Patmos; was writing in Revelation to last vestiges of the original faith community, allegedly in Asia Minor; before its hostile takeover by adherents of the Babylonian Mystery religions and the Roman state. Hence, Christianity down through the ages has been an amalgam of ancient, biblical narratives fused with pagan ritualism and sun worship. To this day, the two most important festivals in the Christian calendar are “Christmas” (celebrated on birthday of the sun god), and Easter (Ishtar, the Roman goddess of fertility).
So Christianity, adopted by Roman emperor Constantine as the state religion at the Council of Nicaea, 325 CE; is firmly a part of the bestial, earthly control systems (Daniel 7, Revelation 13); and has nothing to do with the heavenly kingdom that Yahusha will establish upon His return. If any Christian denomination and its leader qualifies as “the man of sin,” it would be the Catholic church and its Pope – The Vicar of Christ (who actually claims to exercise God’s power on earth). And, while most Catholics meet in churches (on the day of the sun); the seat of the Pope in Vatican City bears a remarkable resemblance to Greek and Roman temples.
The last several Popes certainly have exercised an extraordinary influence over almost a quarter of the earth’s populations for the past 50 years. But, as influential and flawed as the papacy is; will it be a Pope or any other religious leader who fills the unenviable shoes of “the man of sin?”
APOTHEOSIS OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS
Some students of the bible and related works believe that the British and American empires are the latter day embodiment of Roman rule that have dominated the world over the past two and a half centuries. What may not be so clear to see is how accurately Paul’s warnings, and prophecies in Daniel and Revelation describe the despotic leadership and governmental systems of our day!
Also understated, are the similarities between the America’s capital city, Washington DC, and Rome; after which it was reputedly modeled. The striking parallels are explained in some detail in a recent documentary, AMERICA’S ROMAN ROOTS. It highlights the fact that the designers and builders of US capital, including Thomas Jefferson (3rd US president), went to great pains to ensure the architecture of their new (post civil war) kingdom would echo the classicism of Ancient Rome.
This is conspicuously evident in the Capitol Building; which draws inspiration from the Roman Pantheon; a temple dedicated to Greek and Roman gods. It is significant that, after settling into their newly enlarged seat of government; crowned with much bigger “wedding cake” dome; lawmakers and political leaders chose to decorate it with scenes that reference Roman mythology; not a single biblical illustration or allusion in sight!
What is less apparent is how ideologically close the founders of the “American Empire” were to their Roman antecedents. Just as Julius Caesar, Caligula and Nero believed themselves to be gods over their mortal subjects; so too, early presidents of the United States painted themselves as elevated ones, divinely appointed! This is illustrated in the Capitol Dome itself, in The Apotheosis of Washington (1865, by Constantino Brumidi), the first president of America (1789 -1797):
The symbolism of this ambitious fresco, towering 180 feet above the rotunda floor, is helpfully explained in an article on Wikipedia of the same title:
The Apotheosis of Washington depicts George Washington sitting among the heavens in an exalted manner, or in literary terms, ascending and becoming a god (apotheosis). Washington, the first U.S. president and commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, is allegorically represented, surrounded by figures from classical mythology.
George Washington is draped in purple, worn by generals of the ancient Roman Republic during their triumphs, with a rainbow arch at his feet, flanked by the goddess Victoria, who is draped in green, using a horn, to his left and the goddess of Liberty to his right. Liberty wears a red liberty cap, symbolizing emancipation, from a Roman tradition where slaves being manumitted would be given a felt cap (Latin pileus). She holds a fasces in her right hand and an open book in the other, to which George Washington gestures with his right hand.
Forming a circle between Liberty and Victory are 13 maidens, each with a star above her head representing the original Thirteen Colonies. Several of the maidens have their backs turned to George Washington, said to represent the colonies that had seceded from the Union at the time of painting. Across the circle from George Washington is the banner E Pluribus Unum, Latin for “out of many, one”.

The parallels between Ancient Rome and modern America are set out in detail in a recent documentary by Gates of Huldah, America’s Roman Roots:

THE LAST TRUMP?
Leap forward 228 years, from the first to the 47th President of the United States; and its quite possible to imagine that the Apotheosis of America’s presidents has reached its zenith! Donald J Trump, a 33rd degree Freemason (by no means the first to occupy the presidency); who began his 2nd term as president in January 2025; has swept aside convention, custom and the constitution; and is presently ruling America like a KING – by decree!
Trump would have us believe that his election was ordained by “God;” and that his ambition is to “Fight! Fight! Fight” to re-establish America as an industrial and economic superpower; a position it has certainly ceded to China (although it remains the most powerful military force on Earth; but for how long?).
But when Trump mentions god; it is not the same “God” that most of his supporters believe he is alluding to. His god condones lying, cheating, sexual immorality and even murder – He is a Luciferian; like many who rule the world in this present evil age. Like most kings (and also political leaders), Trump believes he is above that law. However, he is not unique in this; and it is now apparent that apotheosis is the default position of most US presidents. The difference is; Donald Trump makes no attempt to hide it!
The mayhem now being wreaked across the “Disunited States,” and around the world; that seem like a bolt from the blue; was in fact heavily trailed by “conservatives” in Project 25:
Project 2025 (also known as the 2025 Presidential Transition Project)[3] is a political initiative to reshape the federal government of the United States and consolidate executive power in favor of right-wing policies. The plan was published in April 2023 by The Heritage Foundation, an American conservative think tank, in anticipation of Donald Trump winning the 2024 presidential election.[4][5]
The ninth iteration of the Heritage Foundation’s Mandate for Leadership series, Project 2025 is based on a controversial interpretation of the unitary executive theory that states that the entire executive branch is under the complete control of the president.[6][7] The project’s proponents say it would dismantle a government bureaucracy they say is unaccountable and mostly liberal.[8] Critics have called it an authoritarian, Christian nationalist plan[9][10][11] that would steer the U.S. toward autocracy.[12] Legal experts say it would undermine the rule of law,[13] separation of powers,[5] separation of church and state,[12] and civil liberties.

However, very few could have anticipated just how brazen and unflinching Trump and his billionaire side-kick, Elon Musk (reputedly the world’s richest man) would be in pursuing these right wing policies. I hesitate to call them “their policies;” because (hard as it may be to believe) they are just the front men; puppets of the “Deep State,” who long ago decreed that America will be destroyed and superseded by communist China!

This has already happened – It’s just that no one has told the American people yet! It is the decades long work of politicians from both sides of the isle; none of whom can be believed. They are all servants of the secret cabal who are both authors of a half century globalisation, and now, the current escalating TRADE WAR.
It is all designed to trash the American economy, raise living costs and destroy the US Dollar as the global reserve currency – the complete opposite of Americans are being told! Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (the so-called BRICS confederacy); now with dozens more affiliated countries; are waiting in wings to fill the vacuum created when America implodes!
(The symbolism of a Nazi saluting, private sector, tech-billionaire, brandishing a chainsaw; promising to cut bureaucracy and bring about government efficiencies [through an illegitimate , external Department – DOGE] by slashing domestic and overseas social programmes (notably, USAID); firing tens of thousands of Federal employees, should not be lost. It is a picture of the heartless, and indiscriminate gutting of US foreign and domestic humanitarian support, that supports the weak an vulnerable; while transferring billions of dollars to the super-rich in unaffordable tax cuts!)
Europe will not be left unscathed. The Evil Elite wants to take the little wealth that remains in “private hands” (excepting their own) away from common folk and complete the work of concentrating money, land, industry and even human souls into their own, wicked claws. This is not easily achieved in “liberal democracies,” where the “citizens” have a notion that they are born “equal,” with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the “pursuit of happiness.” People of this mindset are an impediment to autocratic, communist/fascist, sociopathic technocracy the “fat controllers,” who say, we will own nothing and be happy, HAVE PLANNED!
A TRADE WAR could easily be manipulated, and lead to a “shooting war;” not just in the “killing fields” of Africa, Eastern Asia, Palestine and Ukraine; but all over Europe and on the American continent too! The Evil Elite need a plausible excuse to impose their totalitarian regime on everyone, everywhere; collapse the current world system and seize absolutely everything. They can and probably will do this by unleashing WORLD WAR 3!
As witnessed daily, through mainstream and, increasingly, social media; “war is hell!” But we should not forget that we have all been victims of asymmetrical warfare, for the majority if not all or our lives. We have been deceived into thinking that we are “nationals,” belonging to a country; to which we must bear allegiance, and who in turn will look after and care for us. The reality is that national governments are an invention to keep their “citizens” distracted; while all the while they exploit and experiment on them; before killing them!
None of this is necessary; but it is probably inevitable, because it is what THEY have planned. THEY have little or no regard for Yahua or His creation. THEY don’t care about you; in fact they hate and despise you! Neither are THEY are hiding any longer; their actions betray the true nature of their hearts: they are, like their father, the Devil, EVIL, through and through!
Chimamandah Ngozi on Ghaza Genocide
THIS IS NOT YAHUA’S WORLD – THEY built the present world we live in. And, THEY believe they have the right to destroy and rebuild it in their own image – “Build Back Better.” THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE GODS!
(In my previous post, I warned that Donald Trump will likely be the president to wipe out [default on] American debt. By triggering a trade war; hiking global tariffs that will lead to retaliation; which will inevitably fuel inflation; he is effectively beginning the process by devaluing the dollar (and thus the value of US debt), by imposing inordinate import taxes on the rest of world who want (and in many cases need) to sell to America. It is the opposite of “FREE TRADE,” designed to punish successful nations for America’s failings. It will lead to higher prices on everything, and will disproportionately affect the poor. But of course “billionaires don’t care about the poor.” How do you think they became billionaires?)
