Legitimate prophecy lovers know that God is moving toward a definite goal or objective: the fulfillment of every jot and tittle of His Word.

Pres. Trump’s decision to quickly pull all U.S. troops out of Syria is an example.

First, prophecy teacher and ex-military man Sean Osborne reminds us that Israel is protected by God, that God is in control and this is part of God’s plan.

Pres. Trump can’t do anything without God’s permission.

Second, prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati said God is moving and America’s withdrawal will speed up the Battle of Gog and Magog.

Many students of Bible prophecy have expected the Battle of Gog and Magog to happen for a long time, but it hasn’t.

It will happen when God gets ready, and the U.S. withdrawal could be a signal that God is getting ready.

Sen. Marco Rubio said, “Iran will step up activity in southern Syria (near Israel’s border), which will elicit increased Israeli strikes that could lead to a new and far deadlier Israel-Hezbollah war.”

He is probably right, and stepped up activity by Iran will speed up the Battle of Gog and Magog.

It seems reasonable to believe that this stepped-up activity will come in the next few weeks, not the next few months or years.

Third, in the Battle of Gog and Magog, the merchants of Tarshish and all of the young lions (perhaps England, the U.S. and others) stand around and ask questions about taking a spoil and a prey without helping Israel (Ezek. 38:13).

The Scriptures infer that God will cause Israel to face her enemies alone (without the U.S. and others) so that God will get the glory and not others (Ezek. 39:6-7).

Fourth, the removal of U.S. troops from Syria will open the door for Russia, Iran and their Islamic allies to rapidly (means very fast) build up their forces for an attack on Israel, and we know that God said Israel’s enemies will ascend and come up like a storm (Ezek. 38:9) which suggests that they will rapidly (means very fast) gather for a last-ditch effort to plunder and destroy Israel.

Fifth, Israeli officials are stunned over Pres. Trump’s withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria which means God is pushing Israel to put more reliance on Him and His promises and less reliance on Pres. Trump and his promises.

Sixth, Prime Min. Netanyahu said Israel will protect herself, but according to the Bible, Israel will be protected by the archangel Michael (Dan. 12:1), and Russia and her allies don’t have a chance.

Seventh, it was reported that the diplomats working for the U.S. State Dept. in Damascus will also be withdrawn.

The presence of U.S. diplomats in Damascus could be one reason why Israel has been reluctant to bomb some parts of Damascus.

Praise God for removing America’s diplomats from Damascus before that city ceases to exist in one night (Isa. 17:1, 14).

Come to think of it, withdrawing our troops from Syria before Israel drops a big bomb on Damascus could be a good thing.

Eighth, Pres. Trump wants to strengthen America’s forces in Iraq which is the same thing as strengthening America’s forces closer to Iran.

Those who believe the ancient city of Babylon (in Iraq) will be rebuilt might find this intriguing because the security of Iraq impacts the security of Babylon.

In a related matter, God told Gog to prepare for the Battle of Gog and Magog, and to be a guard unto her allies (Ezek. 38:7).

It has been reported that Russia is allowing Iran and Iranian-backed groups to move around in Syria under the Russian flag.

The Russian flag probably won’t protect Russia’s allies from Israeli bombers, and it definitely won’t protect them from the wrath of God (Ezek. 39:1-6).

Finally, as I am writing this, the U.S. government is in a partial government shutdown.

Every U.S. citizen needs to understand that globalists are using immigration to destabilize nations and create a crisis that will allow them to bring in a world government.

Globalism and open borders (not the cost of a wall) are the real issues that led to the partial government shutdown.

True Christians don’t need to be concerned about a world government, but multitudes, including many immigrants, will be beheaded by that government.

Those who oppose world government need to stand behind Pres. Trump on the shutdown and border wall issue.

One reason Pres. Trump gave for withdrawing U.S. troops from Syria is the cost in terms of U.S. troop lives and U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Too many people are ignoring these costs and the costs of illegal immigration to our school systems (teachers have to speak foreign languages), food and utility assistance, healthcare systems, law enforcement, the lives of U.S. citizens, etc.

If we are close to the Rapture, we are close to a global economic collapse.

The U.S. owes approximately 22 trillion dollars, and interest rates are rising (possibly making it impossible for America to get out of debt).

The U.S. can no longer afford to police the world; educate, feed and doctor millions of immigrants; and we definitely don’t need to forget that God will take care of Israel.

My wife recently bought a 1,000-piece puzzle that she thought would be easy to assemble; however, at first it looked like it was going to take weeks to do it. But after working on it for about a week, the pieces started falling into place and it got easier and easier. Some Bible prophecy is like a puzzle that is difficult to put together.

We are in the last days, and prophecies that were difficult to interpret when they were written in the Bible are now making sense and rapidly falling in place.

Consider the following recent events:

First, God will gather the Jews back to Israel in two waves at the end of the age: a first wave in unbelief (the Jews will go back under the Law) before the Tribulation Period, and a second wave in belief at the end of the Tribulation Period (the Jews will repent and all Israel will be saved).

Many Muslims have immigrated to France in recent years, anti-Semitism has exploded, and now about 200,000 French Jews want to relocate to Israel.

This has prompted Prime Min. Netanyahu to urge the Israeli officials to speed up the immigration process so they can quickly take in many of these French Jews.

Second, some Bible prophecy teachers believe the Antichrist will claim to be the Christ when he first appears and he will deceive the Jews by promising them peace and confirming the 7-year peace treaty.

In early December, the Jewish rabbi in charge of King David’s tomb in Jerusalem said there is now a plan to create a crown of gold for their long-awaited Messiah.

The rabbi said this messiah will be the king of Israel, a descendant of David, come back to Jerusalem, ensure that the Temple is rebuilt and the Temple service is reinstated, gather the Jews from around the world, and his return is imminent.

The fact that the Jewish religious leaders believe that the messiah will ensure that the Temple is rebuilt is one reason why some Bible prophecy teachers believe that the Jews will accept the Antichrist as their messiah, that it will be the Antichrist who gives them permission to rebuild the Temple, and that will happen early in the Tribulation Period.

If the rabbis actually create a crown of gold, they will probably put it on the head of the Antichrist who will reign during the Tribulation Period (Jn. 5:43).

Third, on Dec. 10, 2018, members of the Jewish Sanhedrin put on their priestly garments, rehearsed the daily sacrifice and dedicated an altar of sacrifice for use at the rebuilt Temple.

City officials refused to give the Sanhedrin permission to sacrifice an animal on site, so they sacrificed an animal at another place, took the meat to the altar, and burned one piece of it on the altar.

Denial of permission to perform an animal sacrifice on site is another reason why some Bible prophecy teachers believe permission to resume the animal sacrifices will come from the Antichrist (perhaps from the 7-year covenant) at the beginning of the Tribulation Period.

Fourth, on Nov. 30, 2018, U.S. Pres. Donald Trump, Mexico’s Pres. Enrique Pena Nieto, and Canada’s Prime Min. Justin Trudeau signed the USMCA (the new NAFTA or the NAFTA replacement agreement).

The New American recently published an article about it. Read it here.

It was Pres. Nieto’s last day in office, and he said the following in Spanish:

“The negotiation of the Mexico-United States-Canada Treaty made it possible to reaffirm the importance of the economic integration of North America.” He further remarked, “The renegotiation of the new trade agreement sought to safeguard the vision of an integrated North America, the conviction that together we are stronger and more competitive.”

According to The New American, “The real purpose of the new agreement, as Peña Nieto admitted, is integration — the merging of the United States, Mexico, and Canada into what The New American has long-described as the North American Union.”

“Just as the European Union is the culmination of decades-long European economic integration, so too would a North American Union be the culmination of the decades-long North American integration beginning with NAFTA and now the USMCA.”

Shortly after signing the agreement, Peña Nieto tweeted:

“On my last day as President, I am very honored to have participated in the signing of the new Trade Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada. This day concludes a long process of dialogue and negotiation that will consolidate the economic integration of North America.”

The New American article reads, “The USMCA is not a step back towards American independence and sovereignty; it’s a step closer toward greater integration.”

It is this writer’s belief that the Ten Kings (Ten Horns or Ten Toes) mentioned in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation refers to ten leaders that will head up ten groups of nations under the Antichrist during the Tribulation Period.

It is my belief that the U.S., Mexico and Canada will be merged or integrated into a North American Union (NAU/USMCA), and the head of the NAU/USMCA will be one of the Ten Kings.

The pieces of the prophetic puzzle are rapidly falling into place, and the Church’s hope is the Rapture – not the politicians.

The True Messiah (Jesus) will remove His Church before the false messiah (the Antichrist) appears to confirm the 7-year covenant and give the Sanhedrin permission to rebuild the Temple and reinstate the animal sacrifices.
