Kings Without Kingdoms :: By Jan Markell

Is the Board of Peace a Part of Bible Prophecy?

The Bible describes a future period in which authority is concentrated not solely in traditional kingdoms but in a limited number of powerful figures who operate beyond national boundaries. And that is why I am paying close attention to President Trump’s Board of Peace.

Here are some fast facts:

1) President Trump will serve as chairman and wield considerable overall control. It will help resolve conflicts globally. He has the sole authority to invite new members and appoint a successor.

2) Global peace seems to be their goal, though they will participate in other global duties as well. The immediate focus of the Board of Peace will be Gaza, though there was no word about Gaza in the charter.

3) A lot of Godless people seem to be in charge, such as Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, and almost 60 more movers and shakers. Most have a worldly view of the world and of “peace.”

4) Though originally announced as the international body created to oversee the rebuilding and initial governance of Gaza, the document curiously never mentions Gaza. Why not? Does President Trump envision this as the beginnings of an alternative or replacement to the United Nations? At face value, that sounds like a great idea!

5) The price tag for a nation-state being a member is $1 billion. That eliminates some third-world countries, and maybe that is good. The Somalias of the world will have to watch from afar.

6) Most European countries, including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, have declined a position on the board, leading to significant dominance of the Middle Eastern Arab states on the Board of Peace.

7) The Board of Peace will be run by artificial intelligence and is clearly preparing the Mark of the Beast system. It seems to be setting up the Antichrist end-time system.

8) The newly established Board of Peace is organized into a tiered hierarchy of multiple levels of oversight committees.

9) Russia has been invited. How can a country engaged in a brutal war be a part of a Board of Peace?

10) The Pope has been invited, too. An end-time establishment is surely not complete without participation from the Vatican! The world awaits a spiritual leader!

11) Israel is invited but is outraged to be on a platform with the likes of Qatar and Turkey.

12) The Board of Peace seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.

13) Questionable and shady outfits, such as the World Economic Forum, may participate. These people aren’t elected, and plenty are shady characters. It has been suggested that many participants are kings without kingdoms.

14) Prophecy News Watch says it best: “A peace guaranteed by outsiders. Power consolidated in elite hands. Decisions about Israel made far from Jerusalem. A world growing comfortable with governance by committee rather than covenant.”

15) Since organizers claim it will solve all the world’s problems, it is Tribulation-esque and could be preparing the way for a global leader. That is likely not President Trump, but keep your eyes on Jared Kushner, who is truly one of the world’s most powerful unelected leaders.

Again, quoting Prophecy News Watch, “Daniel speaks of rulers who arise suddenly, wield influence disproportionate to their origins, and play decisive roles in confirming agreements that directly impact Israel. Revelation later describes ten kings who rule briefly, not over historic empires, but through shared authority–leaders who ultimately ‘give their power’ to one central figure.”

The Board of Peace will undoubtedly shut out the Prince of Peace and thus will fail. Additionally, the Bible says, While people are saying, ‘There is peace and security,’ then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape” (I Thess. 5:3).

Keep your eye on this outfit, however. It is clearly setting the stage.

The Spirit of the Antichrist :: By Jan Markell

Minneapolis saw it in 2020 with George Floyd, and low and behold, that same spirit reigns again in my home town. This time the accused are ICE agents doing their job. And well.

In 2020 I wrote in an E-newsletter like this one, stating, “In the Twin Cities, 1,000 properties have been vandalized, looted, burned, or totally destroyed along with apartments above these businesses and homes.

“Our media shows business owners staring in stunned disbelief as many were reeling from Coronavirus destruction, but now they face the result of rampant anarchy due to George Floyd fall-out. The media adds insult to injury by calling the destruction ‘peaceful protests.’”

Mogadishu on the Mississippi – Can You Imagine?

I said back then that Minneapolis looks like Somalia, and I began calling us “Mogadishu on the Mississippi.” Rep. Ilhan Omar should finally be happy, but she still wails and curses America. She needs to go.

Here We Go Again? How Is This Possible?

Then a few weeks ago, it started all over again. Most Minnesotans are very normal people. They are hard working. Many have Scandinavian roots, and although their homelands were comfortable with Socialism, many of them are not!

Yes, too many vote Democrat, and Minnesota—whose state bird is the loon—produces Democrat politicians who are equal loons. You’ve seen their distorted, weeping faces on the media for weeks. They all cry crocodile tears, and they all love the criminal and hate the poor victims.

One of them almost became Vice President of the United States—Tim Walz. If that doesn’t keep you awake at night, nothing will. 

Somalis Love America. Oh, Really?

But the lunacy of the Minnesota Left goes back to strong delusion of thirty years ago when these same foolish Democrats thought that importing 100,000 East Africans with no education or skills would benefit this state. All they cared about was that these immigrants would vote for every corrupt leftist on the ballot.

The Coming Man of Lawlessness

Two relevant Bible verses read, “Let no one deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God” (II Thessalonians 2:3-4).

Again, this occurs during the Tribulation from which the Church is absent. Yet, what we have seen playing out on the streets of Minneapolis is a dress rehearsal, though subdued compared to the lawlessness and turmoil in the Tribulation. It is still setting the stage for the Antichrist.

The Antichrist won’t have to rent-a-mob—and be assured, many rioters are hired guns making good wages. When he reigns, much of the world will be lawless, godless, tumultuous, and confused. Antifa will be the normal! Anti-ICE demonstrations will be mild in comparison.

When People Glory in Chaos

With the restrainer gone, there will be absolutely nothing to hold back the evil, selfishness, and out-of-control behavior! The world can go crazy and will. They will glory in utter chaos. What we have now is a trial run that is a weak fire cracker in comparison. Multiply it by ten or a hundred or a thousand! I’m still embarrassed that my home town is the petri dish!

The good news is that God will consume the Antichrist and his minions at the end of the Tribulation with the brightness of His coming!

Paving the Way for the Coming Regime

Author Terry James writes, “The rage makes clear the existence of the Antichrist spirit in high places that continues to do everything to bring America and the world into the configuration Satan wants to establish for his soon-coming Antichrist platform. At the heart of the minions’ (both human and supernatural) effort is destruction of moral values and norms based on Judeo-Christian precepts/concepts.”

He concludes, “Cultures and societies throughout the world—especially in America—must be altered drastically to pave the way for the coming Antichrist regime.”

Terry James sums it up saying, “Just as we witness the Antichrist spirit surging, we, as born-again believers, should have a surging sense of excitement and comfort. Redemption is near” (Titus 2:13).
