Babylon will be rebuilt either before or during the early part of the Tribulation. [See #7 or #8 above.]
Jesus said, “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).
We are not to try to alter or change God’s timeline.
We are witnesses of God’s salvation through Jesus, guided by the Holy Spirit. The Christian Nationalists should only be witnesses of God, not altering politics by USING GOD. Christian Nationalists should not try to use Trump to initiate the “shit hits the fan” as only God controls His timeline.
God is probably using Trump to bring down America because America rejects God’s ways.
There is a lot to happen in prophecy before the “shit hits the fan” World-wise. We are at the pre-tribulation period, but very close to the “rapture” and such. Look at the World as things are moving into place for the first 3 1/2 years of the end times tribulation. A few more things must be in place, however. These things can move into place quickly or slowly according to GOD’S timeline.
I do not hate Trump. I feel sorry for him.
He pretends to have a relationship with God. He does a prayer on the media, but it is a fake prayer. He has no connection to God whatsoever, except that God still offers him forgiveness through repentance. To receive forgiveness, Trump would have to change his ways, which he is unlikely to do anyway.
However, Trump should be impeached as soon as possible before he does more harm to America, democracy, the Constitution, and the World. He should be removed from the Presidency and all influence on America in any way possible.
Article: Loyalty to Donald Trump Overrides Basic Decency
Excerpt:
In 50 years, when we talk about this era of American politics, it will be truly impossible to capture the chaos, exhaustion, darkness, and insanity of Donald Trump’s presidencies.
There won’t be adequate words to describe how much changed in such a short period of time, thanks to Trump’s utter debasement of the office, and the GOP’s decision to follow him down one of the ugliest paths imaginable, all the while abandoning principles, morals, and basic common decency.

Article: It is going to soon get worse
excerpt:
After Trump narrowly defeated Conway, AOC, and countless other Trump critics warned that the United States was in for a rough ride. The Guardian’s Robert Tait, in an article published on June 19, emphasizes that Trump, during his second term, is attacking democracy at an even more rapid pace than his detractors predicted.
……..
Steven Levitsky, a political science professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, told The Guardian, “Trump is throwing authoritarian punches at a much greater rate than any of these other cases in their first year in power. But we don’t yet know how many of those punches will land or how society will respond….. Trump’s ramping up of the effort to politicize the military can still go in multiple directions. It could be really ugly and bad, because the only way that you can get from where we are to real authoritarianism like Nicaragua or Venezuela or Russia is if Trump has the military and security forces on his side — and he’s taken steps in that direction.”
The United States is a representative democracy. This means that our government is elected by citizens. Here, citizens vote for their government officials. These officials represent the citizens’ ideas and concerns in government.
While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. [A constitutional federal republic is a system of government where power is divided between a central federal government and regional governments, all governed by a constitution that outlines the powers and limitations of each level of government. The United States is a good example of a constitutional federal republic]
————————
Democratically governed nations are more likely to secure the peace, deter aggression, expand open markets, promote economic development, protect American citizens, combat international terrorism and crime, uphold human and worker rights, avoid humanitarian crises and refugee flows, improve the global environment, and protect human health.
————————
Human rights are inherent entitlements belonging to everyone simply by virtue of being human, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or other characteristics. They are universal, inalienable, and indivisible, meaning they apply to all people everywhere and cannot be taken away. These rights are often protected by national and international laws and are fundamental to a dignified and fulfilling life.
The “so-called” “political-right” Christianity involved in Trump’s Administration, governmental members, and planned to be implemented in our schools is “counterfeit” and not “of the true God”. It is more based on Satan than on God. It is based on “selfishness” rather than on “God’s Will”.
The “political-right” Christianity is trying to “use God” to implement their agenda and NOT God’s.
Top 5 forms of government are monarchy, democracy, oligarchy, authoritarianism, and totalitarianism.
America is ruled by Oligarchy, Kleptocracy, and Thugocracy in 2025.
————————————————-
Those who rule America are rich. They are powerful. And they are Ivy-League educated. They lead our country in everything from politics to banking to Wall Street and even academia. They include senators, corporate executives, federal government bureaucrats, finance moguls, and even a handful of Harvard professors and past presidents. Their lives are well connected, full of bonuses, and far-removed from most everyone else’s. As the top 1% of society, they amass more wealth than the bottom 90% of Americans combined.
ol·i·gar·chy [ˈäləˌɡärkē] = noun: oligarchy; plural noun: oligarchies —- a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution. An oligarchy can be considered a form of dictatorship. Both involve a concentration of power in the hands of a small group, rather than the many, and can be characterized by a lack of democratic representation and accountability.
A kleptocracy is a form of government characterized by corruption where ruling elites use their political power to steal public funds and resources for their own personal gain. Essentially, it’s “rule by thieves,” where those in power prioritize self-enrichment over the needs of the public.
A thugocracy refers to a form of governance where a group of violent or aggressive individuals, often associated with criminal activities, hold power and control over a country or region. In a thugocracy, the rulers rely on intimidation, force, and corruption to establish and maintain their authority, often disregarding the rule of law and violating human rights. The term is commonly used to criticize governments that prioritize self-interests, abuse their power, and suppress opposition through coercion and violence.
Democracy is considered as the best form of government because of the following reasons: In democracy, people have the right to choose their rulers. If rulers do not work well, people will not elect him in the next election or have them impeached.
To re-establish American democracy, reforms focusing on voting rights, public trust in elections, and addressing disinformation are crucial. This includes strengthening voter protections, countering the spread of misinformation, and investing in civic education. Additionally, reforms to campaign finance, ethical laws, and the political system can help ensure a more representative and responsive government
Here’s a more detailed look at potential strategies:
1. Protecting Voting Rights:
-
Federal laws:
-
Enacting federal laws to protect the right to vote and remove discriminatory barriers is essential.
-
State-level reforms:
Implementing state-level voting rights acts to prevent discriminatory practices and ensure equal access to the ballot.
2. Strengthening Public Trust:
-
Transparency:Establishing clear and accessible election information, including accurate results and readily available resources, can build public trust.
-
Countering Disinformation:
Developing strategies to identify and counter AI-generated or intentionally misleading content designed to influence voters.
3. Investing in Civic Education:
-
Civic education:
-
Promoting civic education for all ages can foster a more engaged and informed citizenry.
-
Constitutional awareness:
Reinvigorating education around the Constitution and the nation’s founding principles can strengthen the foundations of democracy
4. Addressing Disinformation:
-
Media literacy:Promoting media literacy and critical thinking skills can help citizens better identify and evaluate information.
-
Fact-checking initiatives:
Supporting fact-checking organizations and initiatives can help combat the spread of false information.
5. Reforming the Political System:
-
Campaign finance: .
Implementing reforms to limit the influence of large money in politics and ensure a fairer playing field for candidates.
-
Ethics laws:
Strengthening ethics laws and holding elected officials accountable can build trust in government.
-
Participatory governance:
Increasing opportunities for citizen participation in decision-making processes can enhance democratic engagement
6. Addressing Structural Issues:
-
Term limits:Considering term limits for elected officials and Supreme Court justices can help ensure a more diverse and representative government.
-
Enlarging the House of Representatives:
Expanding the House of Representatives can provide a more proportional representation of the population.
-
Moving Election Day:
Considering moving Election Day to Veterans Day, a national holiday, can increase voter turnout.
7. Building a More Inclusive Democracy:
-
Economic inequality:
Addressing economic inequality, which can disproportionately impact civic participation and voice, is crucial.
-
Social media:
Developing a public-interest mandate for social media platforms can help combat the spread of disinformation and promote responsible online engagement.
By implementing these reforms and working together, Americans can strengthen their democracy and ensure it serves the needs of all citizens.
patriotic = having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one’s country:
Trump and/or MAGA apparently do not know what patriotic means. They are for themselves and their own goals which ARE NOT for America or American citizens. They do not even support the Constitution or the laws of the land. Money and power for themselves seems to be their main goal.
MAGA is not compatible with Christianity and thus not compatible with Catholic. You have to choose between MAGA and Catholic or any Christian denomination or even independent Christian beliefs. You cannot be both. You have to choose God’s Ways through Jesus or MAGA which is self-centered. You cannot put anything before or co-existent with God through Jesus with the help of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will not lead you toward MAGA beliefs or behaviors.
It is just NOT POSSIBLE to be Christian and MAGA. Choose one.
============================
Back when Organized Crime called themselves Mafia, often members of that group attended the Catholic Church calling themselves Catholic with participating in confessionals. However, that did not make them Christian Catholics. You must repent and try to do things God’s Way after repentance [to God – not the Priest]. They often did business while in Church [that was evil]. If you read Biblical Scriptures, you will understand that you repent, try to do God’s Will, and work on making changes to your concepts and behavior to be sincerely repentant.
This is an example of being Catholic without being Christian Catholic.
America is going to be taken into Captivity per prophesy [as a country with descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel].
========================================
Captivity according to the Bible is one taken in war. Captives were often treated with great cruelty and indignity
( 1 Kings 20:32 ; Joshua 10:24 ; Judges 1:7 ; 2 Sam. 4:12 ; Judges 8:7 ; 2 Sam 12:31 ; 1 Chronicles 20:3 ).
Captivity is the state or period of being held, imprisoned, enslaved, or confined.
In those societies with captives, the norm is not the permanent alienation of nor dishonor for captives, but rather the transformation, via indoctrination and adoptive kinship, of captives into group members.
===========================
Dictionary Definitions:
- confinement
- internment
- incarceration
- custody
- detention
- restraint
- constraint
- committal
- arrest
- bondage
- slavery
- servitude
- enslavement
- subjugation
- subjection
- thralldom
- thrall
- duress
- durance
The opposite of captivity is freedom.
Captivity is the condition of being trapped or confined. Animals that are kept in zoos are in captivity. A prisoner is in captivity, and a kidnapping victim is also in captivity. If you catch a firefly and keep it in a jar, its life will be one of captivity until you let it go.
Thralldom refers to a state of bondage, slavery, or servitude, where a person is under the control of another. It signifies being enslaved or subjected to another’s domination. The word is closely related to “thrall,” which describes a person in such a state of bondage.
==============================
My Opinion is that we are already on our way to authoritarian [favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom and is power is concentrated in the hands of one person or a small group, include monarchy, oligarchy, dictatorship, and theocracy. ], or a fascist government [a far-right political ideology and movement characterized by strong authoritarianism, nationalism, and a dictatorial leader. It often involves a belief in a natural social hierarchy, suppression of opposition, and subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation.]
Trump and his ego are put first both in America and in the World. The Rich are put second and the poor are put last. Trump’s goal is “take from the poor and give to the rich” and especially himself. America is even lower on his goal list than the poor.
It is Congress’s and the Supreme Court’s job to keep the power level of the President at the level it is designated to be so the President does not become too powerful over the other two sections of the gov’t. The Founding Fathers of America set up our gov’t with three sections so that no section could become all-powerful, a dictatorship, etc. They did not want America ruled by a king and tried to make sure such could not happen.
The President can make suggestions and even veto a bill on his desk, but Congress can override such with a designated percentage of votes on the same bill. However, the President should not “own” Congress or the Supreme Court with overpowering influence.
Even if some GOP, Congress, or Supreme Court member says it is not their job to do such, IT IS STILL THEIR JOB TO REIGN IN THE PRESIDENT or any other section of the gov’t 3 sections if they try to become too powerful.
Trump is not a “strongman”, he is a bully and corrupt.
Why take an oath for a job, etc. Trump, Congress, Supreme Court, and many of Trump’s appointees are not adhering to the oaths they already took and often do the exact opposite of that oath.
There seems to be no consequences for not adhering to oaths taken.
In the 2026 midterm elections, I am voting for anyone other than Republican or Maga-Republican.
I don’t understand the elephant in a china shop of government to save/cut money from government and agencies — when Trump is spending money needlessly on parades, golf trips, and many other areas instead of taking care of the country’s citizens’ needs for food, health, safety, environment, needless investigations based in the past, giving money to Jan 6 terrorist & families, cutting taxes on rich, needless legal expenses pursuing revenge for perceived injuries to Trump in the past as well as present anti-Trump rhetoric, etc.
It sounds [from CNN] that Trump is not getting a gift from Arabia but is purchasing with US gov’t money a 400 Million Jet that is a bit more luxury than he needs to do his job. Trump is also wasting a lot of needless money on deportation when he could do so in a cheaper and more organized manner without ignoring their rights to due law system.
Trump is saving money in one place and squandering it in another. [spending needlessly millions of dollars]
What is Trump spending the savings on? Why if we are saving trillions of dollars eventually, does the gov’t need to borrow 4 trillion dollars and how is it going to be spent? Why get rid of taxes and the IRS and have Tariffs instead and need to borrow 4 trillion dollars? Why is Trump investing in foreign projects?
The government is not a business, it is to govern the Country. Thus, services are necessary for its citizens well being.
If Trump, Congress, and the Supreme Court cannot govern the Country without borrowing 4 trillion dollars and eliminating needed services and staff, then we need new members for each part of the government.
The “Tribulation” let alone the “Great Tribulation” 3 1/2 yrs appx. later has good reason for happening in addition to God’s reasons.
With the extreme “right” taking power across the World, the extreme “right” in the US [MAGA] in charge in the US and in US & World interactions, Global Warming [and denial of such even though it is very clear it exists], Cosmos changes that are taking place, existence of Nuclear weapons, Oceanic Jet Stream changes, World-wide wildfires and/or earthquakes, trees being cut down for business and settlement, and political policy and concepts of governments, the “Tribulation” is in start-mode.
The beginning of the “end of the age” started when Jesus was resurrected from His death on Calvary. Now we are “IN” the pre-start of the “Tribulation”, which is going to be horrific.
We, citizens of Earth, should get ready for the “shit-to-hit-the-fan” Worldwide.
Trump’s legacy is that he destroyed America and its form of democracy/republic for a Thugocracy. His legacy is of corruption, criminal behavior, disregard of the courts and the Constitution, bad example to citizens of America, misuse of God and Christianity, lies, fraud, misrepresentations, and leading America into captivity under dictatorship.
America always needed and needs improvements in transparency, implementation of laws, business practices, and interactions between people. However, under Trump’s influence, it is a trip to destruction NOT improvements.
Akashic records will give all history including America’s history truthfully. Trump’s legacy is not a good legacy and he should be ashamed.
Before he enters the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:— “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
However, President Trump does not know if he has to do the above. Maybe someone should show him the text of the Oath that he took.
If Putin [Russia] or any such group attacks NATO, the USA should fight on the side of NATO — period with no debate!
If Trump does not agree or does anything else, he should be stopped immediately and someone else put in charge.
America [USA] is NOT an ally of Russia, China, etc. The only way, America fights against any Western country would be if a new Hitler became powerful and attacked Jewish people with gas chambers.
Trump needs lessons on American “Civics”. We poor and middle-class students learned “civics” in Middle School [Junior High for older people]. Maybe “Rich people” do not learn civics in school?
Trump needs to learn what being a President is and also learn about the Country in which he is President. He needs to learn about the Constitution [and amendments] as it is the basis for the Country and cannot be ignored. He needs to learn the purpose of the Supreme Court and other courts on various levels through states and national governments. He needs to learn what the Congress functions are and what their control areas are designated to be. He needs to learn what the control areas of the President are and work within such. He needs to learn that the Supreme Court is to evaluate laws and applications and not play politics.
This is America and “Civics” matter in this Country and he should not be working outside such.
Peaceful protests are the right of American citizens. Trump has no right to threaten anyone about them. He has the Secrete Service Agents to protect him during any protest anyway.
As a citizen and voter in America, I have the right to criticize any public or private person as long as I do not slander them or lie about them.
However, I cannot protest as I am an elderly person 79 who is sick, handicapped, and physically unable to do so. Also, I am in a rural area, unimportant, and no one reads this blog anyway. However, if he wanted to waste his time or his agent’s time, he could send me to God and Heaven earlier than I am going anyway. I probably won’t be alive by the end of his term as I am quite sick.
We should criticize Trump as he is NOT complying with the Constitution or the American citizen’s rights. I hope the damage he is doing can be repaired by whoever is the next President, if there is a next election.
Please let there be legal consequences for Trump for what he has and will do. He should not be immune to everything he is doing.
Our Constitution and laws are there to keep our country functioning. Even God follows the rules of his system even though there is no consequence for him. God knows that is how systems function.
I am not affiliated with any denomination. However, my childhood was saturated with “Fire & Brimstone” Baptist teachings. I have in the past investigated World religions and Christian denominations before committing to Christianity via Scripture and the Holy Spirit revelation.
