which represented Babylon, lasting 70 yrs. The Medes & Persians were on the statue with silver arms and chest lasting about 225 years. The Greek empire represented as brass abdomen and thighs and lasted about 350 years and the Roman empire as iron legs and feet mingled with clay and iron was a mixture of weak and strong nations which lasted 1000 yrs. Each of these empires were world powers. The United States is part of the Roman empire and is an iron nation and a world power has been a nation for 244 years so far. This is what the prophecy of the Eagle is about. Israel was in captivity in all these nations. They were in cruel bondage, yet God placed Israel there for their protection. The slavery in the US was the cruelest which have affected black people even today.
But this country would grow to be a world power. The Lord made them great by giving them new inventions like the airplane and jets and cars, electricity, and all modern ways of communication. This country was also blessed with powerful military might, world class education and cuttingedge technology and science which made it a world leader.
right and left beliefs system to govern, and the brain of this eagle is the constitution with laws to govern the country. This Eagle had great talons which was its ability make war with any nation and all nations were fearful of her power. The body of the eagle represents the voice of the people. The feathers represented each president. This eagle had 8 contrary feathers which were the presidents who took away the good from the poor, black and minority people and especially those who are the children of Israel here.
people than the war. The US economy continued to grow after WW1, though Black people continued to suffer and promises made to them after Reconstruction was unfulfilled. Jim Crow laws were initiated, and many black people suffered, and segregation was in full swing in the South and spreading North. The Great Mississippi flood of 1925 was the time Herbert Hoover was over the Red Cross. He did little to aid Black people during this flood. Many black people died by drowning and suffered because of lack of basic care. Many Black people were not rescued. As white people were rescued from the flood, they sang a song, “Bye, Bye, Black Bird,” as Black people were left to drown.
Herbert Hoover wanted to be president and made promises to Black leaders if they would vote for him to become President, he would help black people and pass laws to stop lynching. Hoover won the presidency with the aid of black people but did not fulfill promises that he made, and lynching continued along with other atrocities. He was president from 1929- 1933 and the Lord struck this country with the Great Depression in 1929, during the beginning of Hoover’s administration while the country was in peril of falling. Here is where our countdown begins, 1929 began the latter days. The US was in peril of falling. The Great Depression affected the whole world as did the Dust Bowl. The economies of the world were also in peril of falling as well. Herbert Hoover was the first contrary feather. What does the contrary feather mean? These are the presidents that did not conform to what was expected of them concerning laws of the land in which caused problems with the people. The poor and minorities suffered.
Franklin D Roosevelt, who was president after Hoover. He helped this country from its impending fall and became president from 1933-1945 and got the US out of a free fall from the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl which helped other countries and their economies. Roosevelt set up safety nets like social security and welfare to help the poor and calling it the New Deal. He was in office for twelve years which was longer than any president. But a command from heaven said this, “Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long: this I say unto thee, before thou beginnest to appear no more: There shall none after thee attain unto the time, neither unto the half thereof,” 2 Esdras 11:15-17. In 1947 the Congress passed the 22nd amendment for a 2-term limit on the presidency. FDR was the president that built the atomic bomb and at this point this country could have destroyed the world with this technology. World War 2 began in 1939 and ended in 1945. At that time, the U.S. and Russia were Allies and fought against Germany, yet Russia was an iron nation and wanted world dominance. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Dec. 1941.
Harry Truman assumed the office of presidency after the death of FDR in 1945. In 1945, Truman dropped the atomic bomb on Japan twice, once on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which ended WW2. Harry Truman was the first president that desegregated the military so that Black men could be in the army side by side with whites. He also extended FDR’s New Deal to help the country grow. At this point, the United States was a contender for the greatest nation. Therefore, the Lord continued to raise up Russia to keep the US in check for a while. After WW2 ended, the Cold War between Russia and the US began, each trying to push their agenda and forms of government all over world from northern, West and Eastern Europe, North and South America, and islands in the Caribbean as well as Asia, including China and parts of Africa.
Eisenhower was president when Brown v. Board of Education in Topeka Kansas which was a landmark 1954 case, which the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional. In 1955, Emmet Till, a 14-year-old Black teen was brutally murdered in Mississippi, and the white men that murdered him for whistling at a white woman got away with his murder, this spurred on the Civil Rights Movement. In Oct 1956 USSR sent up Sputnik as the first satellite. It orbited for three weeks before its batteries died and orbited silently for two months before it fell back into the atmosphere. The satellite’s unanticipated success precipitated the American Sputnik crisis and triggered the Space Race as part of the Cold war between US and USSR.
responsibility of Civil Rights should be left up to the states and deplored the Supreme Court decision of Brown vs the Board of Education in 1954. He felt separate but equal laws had no place in education. He had to send in national guards for the 9 Black students who were sent there for desegregation. The Eisenhower administration did many experiments on black men in the army as well as poor black citizens around the country without their knowledge. James Ketchum was a psychiatrist and a US Medical Corp officer who worked for almost a decade on the US military’s top secret psychochemical warfare program in Edgewood Arsenal Maryland. He pursued research on chemicals to be used to incapacitate the minds of adversaries.
manipulated its subjects’ mental states and brain function. They also used electroshock, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as other forms of torture. In WW2, Black enlisted men were used as human guinea pigs in chemical experiments during World War 2. The army finally admitted to this in 1991.
In the 1950’s, the CIA and the US military released half a million mosquitoes with yellow fever and dengue fever into black Florida communities leading to multiple illnesses and deaths to determine how mosquitos could be used as weapons. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, poor Black St. Louis neighborhoods were use in a Cold War experiment in which the army, using aerosol blowers mounted on vehicles and rooftops, sprayed a radiation-laced toxin called zinc cadmium sulfide, a fluorescent powder. Thousands likely inhaled the toxins. Eisenhower was the second contrary feather.
new beginnings… Sealing of the
John Kennedy was elected president after Eisenhower and the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King was in full swing, but he was in office only 3 years. In 1963 The March on Washington led by Martin Luther King was Aug. 1963, where he gave the I have a Dream Speech. On Sep. 15, 1963, white men bombed the 16th street Baptist church where 4 young black girls were killed. John Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963. During his administration J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI director, opposed Martin Luther King and viewed him as a troublemaker and accused him of being Communist. Therefore, Robert Kennedy the Attorney General gave Hoover a written directive to wiretap Martin Luther King, and the other Southern Christian Leadership group and other civil rights organizations.
Lyndon Johnson finished John Kennedy’s term after his assassination and then ran for president and easily won. The Vietnam war escalated during his administration and the Civil Rights Movement was in full swing. His administration passed the Civil Rights Bill and the Voting Act Bill. He also passed Medicare and Medicaid for the poor. His administration started the War on Poverty, and Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. He nominated the first African American judge, Thurgood Marshall, to the Supreme Court. Head Start began in the Johnson administration as well as the Food Stamp program. He continued wiretapping Martin Luther King from the previous administration. He told black leaders that he could not give them a full loaf of bread, but he could give them a half of a loaf because of the Republican opposition to programs for the poor and blacks.
Richard Nixon was the 3rd country feather, who began trying to remove the safety nets from the poor. His administration created false shortages so that food prices would go up. During Nixon’s term in office, there were widespread protests of the Vietnam war. In 1970 at Kent State University in Ohio, tragedy occurred when the National Guard killed 9 student protesters as they shot into a crowd of 2000 students. Prior to his second term in office, he was involved in the Watergate scandal in 1972 when the GOP broke into the Democratic Headquarters at the Watergate Hotel. Nixon, who faced almost certain impeachment for his role in the Watergate scandal, chose to resign rather than be impeached.
Gerald Ford finished Nixon’s term in office and pardoned him for his crimes. He was the only president that served but never elected. Ford vetoed a $45 billion appropriation for health, education, welfare, and labor departments that could help the poor. Ford presided over the worst economy in the four decades since the Great Depression, with growing inflation and recession. Ford was the target of two assassination attempts. Gerald Ford was the 4th contrary feather.

When Reagan took office, he began implementing sweeping new political and economic initiatives and dubbed it Reaganomics. He deregulated businesses; many people lost jobs and companies were able to take the workers’ pensions ad dismantle companies that people worked in for years. He also weakened the labor unions. His Vice President, George H. W. Bush had been over the CIA.
The Iran Contra Scandal under the Reagan administration happened when Reagan asked for money from congress to purchase arms for Iran and their war against Iraq and the Contras in Central America to fight against the Soviet Union. When Reagan could not get money from Congress for arms, he enlisted the CIA to fund this purchase. The CIA secretly sold crack cocaine to gangs throughout the United States. This ruined a generation of Black families in the US, as he provided arms to Iran and the Contras in Nicaragua. The CIA to brought drugs into California and other big cites to Black people in black neighborhoods in the United States. The CIA showed the gang leaders how to make crack cocaine which they infiltrated throughout black neighborhoods so that he could use the money for weapons. This caused drug wars between Black gangs and escalated violence between gangs like the Crips and Bloods. The gangs sold crack cocaine that spread throughout the country and destroyed a generation of Black and Brown people and spread to large cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit and Miami. -23-
In March 1981, Reagan survived an assassination attempt. He also coined the phrase Welfare Queen, and black women were accused of getting rich from being on welfare. He used this to rally support for reform of the welfare system that would affect many single black women. His administration was often criticized for inadequate enforcing if not undermining civil rights legislation. He vetoed the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 which he stated infringed on states’ rights. He caused war between Iran and Iraq and bombed Libya.
The dissolution of the Soviet Union was from 1988-1991. In 1988 Reagan challenged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the wall dividing East and West Berlin which was the beginning of the fall of the Soviet Union.
George H W. Bush was the 6th contrary feather. Although he was a one term president. He also was a former head of the CIA and continued the policies of the Reagan administration. After the fall of the Berlin wall, Bush pushed for unification of Germany. He did something that Reagan did not do and that was he led an international coalition of countries which forced Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait. This started the first Gulf war that lasted about 3 months, and it opened doors for the Gulf war to continue between the US, Iraq and Afghanistan even today. He undertook a US military invasion of Panama to arrest Manuel Noriega who was charged with drug trafficking that brought drugs into the US. He signed the NAFTA agreement which created a trilateral trade bloc of the US, Canada and Mexico. This opened a door for companies to leave the US and go to Canada and Mexico where labor was cheaper and had no unions but caused job loss for people in the US.
Bill Clinton as the 12th feather who was a 2-term president that had a prosperous administration until he was impeached by the House but not the Senate for lying to Congress and was found guilty regarding an affair with white House page, Monica Lewinsky.
In 1993 there was a terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center carried out February 26, 1993, when a truck bomb detonated below the north tower of the Trade Center in New York and killed 6 people and injured 1000.
He passed welfare reforms and kept some safety nets. He also coined, “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” to protect sodomites in the military from expulsion because of their sodomy. Bill Clinton signed a bill in 1994 called “Three Strikes You are Out,” creating tough new criminal sentencing to put poor people in prison and forced them to work a little above slavery for some crimes and misdemeanors. Many states built more prisons because this provided money to the states as the US incarcerated more people and disproportionately more black people were put in prisons for profit. He also passed a law for people on welfare to work before getting a check. This was part of the “welfare queen” trope under the Reagan administration which became a catch phrase and used as a derogatory connotation that to this day has endured and continues to shape public perception about the poor and black women. The Clinton administration balanced the budget, the stock market was up, and many black people had white collar jobs and were more prosperous
George W. Bush was the 7th contrary feather. He got into office by a narrow win over Al Gore that involved the Supreme Court decision to stop a recount in Florida. He continued to follow in his father’s footsteps. Shortly after his presidency, two airplanes crashed into The World trade Towers in New York. The same day, there was a plane crash at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania killing over 3000 people and was called 9/11 because it happened September the 11. This act of terrorism caused a Gulf war between Iraq, Afghanistan and the US. Osama Bin Laden was blamed as well as Saddam Hussein. There was also a coalition of nations that joined in these wars. This war continues today and has been very profitable for the rich. At the beginning of the Gulf War, Bush was a hero of sorts because he bombed Iraq and continued with Afghanistan. He told the people that this would be a short war. However, there were many atrocities and war crimes done to the Iraq people that the US and the other nations took part in. They used torture and waterboarded people to make them confess crimes. After their confession they were killed, and their bodies were counted, and money was paid to their torturers. As the war continued against Iraq, it was proven that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction that the Bush administration accused him of. Many Iraq people died for nothing. Many Americans also died and suffered from mental and physical wounds due to the war. Bush began receiving criticism of the Gulf war and of the war crimes committed by merchant soldiers.
In 2003, the Immigration and Costumes Enforcement (ICE) was created pursuant to Homeland Security Act of 2002. In response to 9/11, lawmakers gave ICE a unique combination of civil and criminal authorities to protect national security and strengthen public safety including border patrol, trade and immigration. ICE quickly became a powerful and sophisticated federal law enforcement. They could come into a home and remove people from their families, jobs, homes. The name ICE struck fear in many immigrants. Yet the flood of people migrating from South America continues today.
In 2005, there was a Hurricane that entered the Gulf states called Katrina. It affected the 9th, ward in New Orleans and many people died because they protected the businesses rather than the people. Bush received criticism of his handling of Hurricane Katrina particularly in New Orleans 9th ward where mostly black and poor people lived and have not recovered totally even today. Many black people died calling for help. Some died by drowning in their homes while Bush took several days before he sent relief.
In December 2007, the US entered the Great Recession. The 2008 financial crisis was his lowest ratings that affected not only the US but countries around the globe. There was a mortgage bubble that burst, and many people lost their home and jobs. Many car companies and banks were going under and needed help due to this recession. Therefore, Barack Obama called upon Bush to help save the auto industry as he left office. -30-
Black man of mixed heritage, his father was from Kenya and his white mother was from the US. Barack Obama was a centrist president who tried to bring about peace between the 2 parties, but he was despised because of his race and ethnicity. There was little to no cooperation from the Republican party who vowed he would be a one term president. Barack Obama signed many landmark bills into law during his first two years in office; one was the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, this was an insurance option for many without insurance; the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the unemployment Insurance Reauthorization as well as Job Creation Act of 2010 as an economic stimulus.
May 2,2011, President Obama, announced that the US military and the CIA located and killed Osama Bin Laden the al Qaeda leader on a midnight raid in Pakistan for the September 11 attacks.
One of the big things that Obama signed was to promote inclusion for LBGT American that opened wide the door for sodomy. His administration urged the Supreme Court to strike down same-sex marriage bans. When Obama left Office, he was a beloved President and respected around the globe except the Republicans in Congress and the country.
Barack Obama’s administration was to see if Babylon could be healed. “We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed; forsake her, and let us go everyone into his own country; for her judgement reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies,” Jer. 51:9.
The Obama administration sent many migrants back to their own country.
NOMINATED Kamala Harris, a black female Senator from California to be his Vice president.
Joe Biden the 46th President had been in office less than a month and began reversing some of the things Donald Trump signed while in office. He is a centrist president like Obama and continues to try and heal this country. He is also trying to bring the right side and left side in agreement. There has been a split in the Republican party and many still cling to the lie that Donald Trump is the real president, and his presidency was stolen from him. His administration had been riddled with lies and conspiracy theories. There has been protest, anger and violence and some of the Congress are members of Q Anon, the KKK, and the Proud Boys.
Biden entered office amid the Covid-19 pandemic an economic crisis and increased political polarization. He tried to revert some of the things the Trump administration did. And halted funding to Trumps’s border wall. Americans were encouraged to get vaccinated for covid-19. He signed a bill making Juneteenth a national Independence Day and federal holiday. And he appointed the first Black Female to the Supreme court.
This administration so far has coat tailed onto the Obama administration and reopening the military for Trans genders and other benefits removed by the Trump Administration. So far there is an increase of the Coronavirus with 4 different variants which the vaccine may not work on. He is also trying to please everyone in a short amount of time. He reduced insulin to a 35dollar cap which big Pharma had raised it to over 400 dollars a month for some.
Jewish people at a concert. They killed and captured over a thousand Jews. As this was going on Netanyahu did not send troops in until 14 hours later. This has caused a war against the Palestinians. The Biden administration did little to stop the escalation of Israel as they bombed men, women, and infants. Most of their cities were bombed and the US continued to supply Israel with weapons. Though Israel has destroyed over 40,000 Palestinians they continue to use torture and bomb, hospitals, schools and other buildings. The Jews are doing to the Palestinians as Germany did to them but with the aid of the US. There is fear that this war will escalate and engulf the entire region.
The debate that Trump and Biden had was a miserable failure for Biden and he was asked to step down from running against Trump. This caused great distress among Democrats when he refused. Eventually due to his age and health, he stepped down and Kamala Harris his Vice is running for President instead of Joe Biden. This is an ongoing prophecy.
feather. He was not a politician but a rich businessman who mad money in real estate and casinos. His father propelled him up in business so that he could take over for him. He invested in other businesses and gained acceptance by politicians, banks and other wealthy men. His father Fred was a racist. It was said that he was member of the KU KLUX KLAN. In 1971 his father and him were sued by the Justice Department, the Civil Rights Division for racial discrimination. Trump had a series of business failures but became a Realty Star in the television series, The Apprentice that ran from 2004-2017. Trump had many failed businesses and more than 4000 legal actions against him, including bankruptcies. In his casinos when he walked in, he did not want to see any black people who worked there. He took out a full-page newspaper ad to condemned innocent black teens of raping a white woman and encouraged the death penalty even though they were found innocent. He decided to run for president in 2015 when he saw Barack Obama win in 2008. He tried to say Obama was not a US citizen even thou it was proven he was born in Hawaii.
the Republican candidates. He called them names, made fun of them and their wives and his actions were racially charged and misogynist. He put fear in many of the republican politicians that spoke against him. Therefore, many refused to speak out against him for fear of losing their jobs. Those that spoke out against him were never voted for.
How did Trump control his followers?
Trump, being a racist, misogynist and a pathological liar, resurrected the hatred and racism already in the hearts of his people that was barely suppressed by the laws in the land in the people. He said what they wanted to say out loud. He entertained them with his lies by regurgitating this to them they way dogs feed their puppies. It tasted good to them, and they could do and say what they wanted to be spurred on by many in the media like Fox news and conspiracy theorist.
When Trump became president he admired the autocrat countries like Russia, China, North Korea and Hungary. He wanted a parade in his honor as he watched missiles and soldiers march in downtown D.C.
American history.
Since leaving office, Trump continues to have dominance over the Republican party with threats, job loss. Yet, they have chosen him as their presidential candidate for 2024. Trump was also found guilty of 34 felonies, falsifying business records and payoff hush money to a porn star. He has been indicted in three jurisdictions on 54 other felony counts related to mishandling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the2020 presidential election. Trump was also found libel for sexual abuse and defamation in 2023 and 2024 financial fraud in 2024.
wanted this nation to be an iron nation that controlled the ground, sea, air and land by the northern spirit. The northern spirit is an autocratic type of government, but it would have greater military force, Space Force, technology and more power than the autocracy governments have today.
THE LION: Who is the lion who has been watching this eagle and her evils all this time. The Lion with the man’s voice is Christ and his watchmen. He is upbraiding the Eagle for her wickedness, and she has been judged and will be destroyed by God. 2 Esdras 11:37-46 & 2 Esdras 12:31-34.
Eighth Contrary feather: Why was Trump the eighth contrary feather? Trump and all the contrary president’s administration and their laws were trying to destroy democracy as we know it for their benefit. He is the last of the eight presidents. Here is what 2 Esdras 11:37-45 say about this country. “And I beheld, and lo as it were a roaring lion chased out of the wood; and I saw that he sent out a man’s voice unto the eagle, and said, hear thou, I will talk with thee. Art not thou it that remainest of the four beast, whom I made to reign in my world, that the end times might come through them? And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with much wickedness and oppression; and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit. For the earth hast thou not judged with truth. For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwelling of them that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no harm. Therefore, is thou wrongful dealing come up unto the highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty. The highest also hath looked upon the proud times, and behold, they are ended, and his abominations are fulfilled. And therefore, appear no more, thou eagle, nor thou horrible wings, nor thou wicked feathers, nor thou malicious heads, nor thou hurtful claws, nor all thy vain body.”
We first learned about the Prophecy of the Eagle in 1969. This was difficult to understand at that time. The Lord gave us understanding in measure and it has taken us up until 2020 for us to understand it today. We had to look at what happened in the past to see what will happen in the future. “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying; My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure,” Is. 46:10. From the time of Daniel, the prophet, unto our day, this prophecy has continued as the United States became a nation. As time went on, we can see how this country became great as an iron nation and part of the Roman Empire. By learning this, we can see the past, present and future of this country. This prophecy will continue until the fall of this country. Amen.

you anything about Reaganomics except for what I studied in school. In fact, the very first president I truly remember was Bill Clinton. He was the 42nd president of the United States elected in 1992. Obviously, I was too young to vote for him but I remember I along with many of my peers considered him to be the “cool president.” I distinctly remember watching him play the saxophone on late night tv and watching him on MTV news answering questions posed by the youth of this country. The Bill Clinton era boasted a time of great economic affluence in the US. It was also during this time that technology began to transform our nation though widespread adoption of the Internet. However, his legacy was marred by the Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones scandals with him being impeached in 1998 by the House but acquitted by the Senate.
president. Times were changing and not for the good. What stands out the most during his presidency was of course the September 11 attacks in 2001. I remember working in the Enrollment Center at IUPUI and it is a day I will never forget. Our office was flooded with phone calls from terrified students and parents asking if the university would be on lockdown and what would happen to the city of Indianapolis. The 9/11 attacks led to the War on Terror, initiated by the Bush Administration. This war cost over $8 trillion and resulted in the deaths of over 929,000 people All of this, for weapons of mass destruction that were never found!
difficult to trust the government. Many people my age felt this way and not only because of the Iraq War but because of the 2008 financial crisis and the government’s handling of Hurricane Katrina. America was shifting towards darker times. It seemed that common good and intelligence, for that matter, was at an all time low with the leaders in this country. One mistake after another, and American was in a downward spiral. Although, still considered the most powerful nation in the world, America had weakened both politically and financially and this would continue to happen as years went on.
helm. And in order for people of God to rise from the ashes, Babylon must and will fall. These are the days of darkness. These are the days of Noah and Lot. Most of the saints are blind, deaf and asleep. But our church is awake and we must dig up the truth that has been buried. We must be watchmen, looking for the signs of the times and the falling away of this nation and the entire world. So I want to take you though the last 18 years of this country’s ever changing political landscape, placing emphasis on 3 presidents, Obama, Trump and Biden.
to power to destroy democracy and there was no good at all. In fact, it was the birth of a new system of wickedness making this president different from all before him. In her dream about Biden he represented the failure of good in the system. As we discuss each of these presidents we will see these dreams are now a reality.
On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama was elected to be the first African American President of the free world. He would be the 44th president to serve. I remember being glued to my couch in astonishment that a black man was going to be the most powerful man in the world. The day he was sworn into office, I recall being in grad school and the teacher let us watch his inauguration on TV. I was one of 2 black students in a predominately white classroom and I was in tears but they were tears of joy. You see, I got swept up into the wave of emotions that many others like me felt, not realizing the plan that God had.
climate in society had ushered in where relations between blacks and whites seemed to improve. Was there a glimmer of hope? Not even close. The reality is, the Lord put a spirit on the people in this country in order to put a Obama, a black man, into office. And this facade of acceptance in the US for African Americans would soon disappear shortly into his presidency.
evil in this country. The good provided God’s children with reprieve and the means to sustain and occupy on this earth. This is because of God’s mercy. However, the evil showed us that the world is falling away and the end is near. All of this is God’s will as He renders judgment measure by measure on America (2 Esdras 4: 37).
relationship with congress led to major legislative victories, including the Affordable Care Act and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for example. However, these key accomplishments were largely due to the fact that Democrats dominated both the House and the Senate at the time. And it should be mentioned that these bills received little to no support from the Republicans. Regardless, the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare as it is famously called, made health insurance more affordable and accessible with the national uninsured rate dropping to a record low of 7.7% At the core of this healthcare reform is the following:
funding to expand medicaid, thus extending coverage to nearly 20 million low income adults.
Banning insurance companies from denying coverage or charging higher premiums to people with pre-existing medical conditions.
Allowing young adults to remain on their parents' health insurance plans until they turn 26.
Preventing insurance companies from putting caps on the amount of care they will pay for over a patient's lifetime.
This healthcare bill benefited Americans, including the saints, many of which are amongst marginalized groups and the poor (Proverbs 19: 17).
There is also the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, passed in February 7, 2009. This bill included a whopping $787 billion economic stimulus package with the goal of creating jobs, providing temporary relief programs and investing in infrastructure, education and renewable energy. All of this done to combat the Great Recession. Some of the temporary relief programs of this act should be noted such as, expanded unemployment benefits, increased SNAP (food stamps) and the Medicaid fiscal relief. These policies, again, provided a safeguard for the poor and underprivileged. We can further see that though Obama was not a righteous man, it was the Lord that spearheaded these decisions through him so that the doors of mercy would remain open for His children and sons of men alike (Matthew 5: 45, Psalms 103: 13-14, Lamentations 3: 22-23,
144,000
But what of the evil? President Barack Obama significantly advanced LGBTQ+ rights in the United States. In 2010, for example, he signed the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Repeal Act,” allowing the LGBTQ+ community to serve openly in the US Military. The repeal of DOMA was in 2011. DOMA, also known as the Defense of Marriage Act was a 1996 U.S. federal law that defined marriage exclusively as a union between a man and a woman, as it should be according to the law of God (Genesis 2: 24). Obama’s administration deemed this law to be unconstitutional. This helped pave the way for equal marriage recognition for sodomites. And by 2012, Obama publicly supported and endorsed equal marriage rights for samegender couples, becoming the first sitting US president to do so. During 2015, Obama touted that the Supreme Court decision that legalized same-gender marriages nationwide, was in fact, a victory for this country. In other words, he helped opened the floodgates for sodomy! This was abominable and showed that we were and continue to live in the Days of Lot and it is getting worst (Luke 17: 28-30). It also shows that there is a famine of truth in this world.

“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” Luke 17:26 - 28
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.”
Notably towards the end of Obama’s first term, race relations continued to strain as police brutality against blacks increased. Though this is not something that President Obama brought on himself, it is important to mention as it showcases the amount of hate and violence that increased in this country. Remember, we are living in the Days of Noah. For example, in 2012, Trayvon Martin, an African American teen, was walking home from a trip to a convenience store and was fatally shot by a Hispanic male by the name of George Zimmerman in Sanford, FL. Zimmerman, a member of the community watch, saw Martin and reported him to the Sanford Police as suspicious. An altercation happened and Zimmerman fatally shot Martin in the chest. This was obviously a hate crime yet Zimmerman was acquitted of the charges, prompting the establishment of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in 2013. The BLM movement continued to gain enormous traction in 2014, going from primarily online to the streets, following the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York.

During this time, the nation was very divided, especially between blacks and whites. Although there were whites who joined the BLM movement, many whites, particularly Republicans and the older demographic felt this group was dangerous. Instead, they showed little empathy for the black lives taken and showed high support for the police force, no matter the wrong they were doing.
Obama desperately tried to heal America, which is the capital of this world Babylon. But you see, Babylon could not be healed no matter how hard he tried. In Jeremiah 51: 8-9 “Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.” Obama would soon find that his efforts to save this country would be futile as the political climate shifted and Republicans took control of Congress. This shift led to a divided government and clashes over the federal budget and debt ceiling, prompting Obama to bypass Capitol Hill in order to implement his policy goals.

Despite these challenges, President Obama is considered to be a popular president, leaving office in January 2017 with nearly a 60% approval rating after serving 2 concurrent terms. To this day, he is considered to be the highest ranking political figure among US Adults, with Historians often ranking him as the 12th greatest president in US history. But in the eyes of God, he is merely a man and a tool used to help bring both good and evil to this country that still has an effect on us to this very day. Amen.

Transition of Power from Obama to Trump
Although Obama was considered a popular president, America’s perception of his administration was heavily divided strictly across party lines. Democrats argued that Obama created the longest run of job creation in US history, which helped stabilize the economy after the Great Recession of 2008. On the other hand, Republicans felt the economy was sluggish with slow GDP growth and heavy national debt. Blue collar workers in the Rust Belt, who are predominantly white, (stretching through western New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan) suffered greatly from this recession and felt overlooked by Obama who focused more on recovery efforts for Wall Street Institutions. Collage graduates and young job seekers were also frustrated due to underemployment and felt abandoned by the Obama administration.
There was a sharp racial divide amongst youth perception of the former president. People of color overwhelmingly held favorable views of his administration. However, white millennials felt the Obama administration caused further racial tension and political divisiveness. Finally, the legalization of samegender marriage, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and demographic shifts created fear among traditional, religious, and conservative voters that were also predominantly white. All of these factors contributed to Americans demanding change. People grew tired of the political elites and opted for a political outsider, hence the rise of Donald Trump.
Donald Trump’s First Term
Donald Trump is perhaps the most controversial politician known in US history. In fact, he did not even start out as a politician. He was a businessman born to wealth and a TV personality, particularly made famous on shows like the “Apprentice.” When he speaks, he is not polished like many politicians. Instead he is blunt, direct and off the script with no attempt to be politically correct. He often uses “America First” rhetoric to help further his appeal, particularly with white working class Americans, who make up 41% of the U.S. eligible electorate.
Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. His win shook the nation and was totally unexpected by the media, political analysts and the public for that matter. But it was God that wanted Trump in office. On January 20, 2017, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th president.
President Trump’s first term (2017-2021) centered on shifting to more conservative policies. In 2017, he passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and doubled the standard deduction for individuals. The corporate tax cuts primarily benefited the rich and corporations, driving up the national deficit.
He also ensured a conservative majority in federal courts by appointing 200 federal judges and more notably appointing three Supreme Court Justices—Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett (From L to R the first 3 individuals in the photo standing up), which left a six-justice majority of Republican appointees in the current Supreme court. This shift in leadership has already significantly impacted issues that include the death penalty, abortion, racial equality, LGBTQ rights, church and state, gun rights, environmental protection and immigration.
For example, the 6 ruled that affirmative action in college and university admissions violates constitutional equal protection. This ruling disregards that racial inequality in society and college admissions exists. The ramification of this ruling means hindering minorities access to higher education. In New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, the Six did away with the state’s more than century-old law which required a “proper cause” to carry a handgun outside the home. They deemed the state’s requirement as a violation of an individual’s Second Amendment right of firearm self-defense. But we have seen too many times what happens when guns get in the wrong hands. Studies consistently link increased firearm availability to higher rates of firearm homicide and suicide.
Trump weakened America’s foreign relations through imposed tariffs on allies and adversaries with the goal of reducing trade deficits. He also withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and successfully negotiated the United States-MexicoCanada Agreement (USMCA) to replace NAFTA, an agreement that was in existence for 26 years.
Trump’s stance on immigration has been highly controversial, revealing an aggressive and racist approach. He called for a complete ban on Muslims entering the country and he used disparaging remarks when referring to Mexican and Haiti immigrants as well as African Nations. He pushed for funding to construct a wall along the U.S.–Mexico border to curb illegal crossings and enhance border security. And nearly all unauthorized individuals became targets for deportation, threatening separation of families.
A major blunder in his presidency was during 2020 when the COVID pandemic began. Trump repeatedly downplayed the disease, often contradicting public health officials and what his own staff were saying. He admitted in an interview that he intentionally downplayed the effects of COVID to prevent panic but this of course did not work. Trump also faced medical and political pushback after suggesting that disinfectants and UV light were potential treatments for the COVID. With 377,883 deaths from COVID in US in 2020 alone, this country is still reeling from the long term effects of this disease.
One cannot discuss Trump’s presidency without mentioning his impeachment. He is in fact the only president in history that has been impeached on two separate occasions. The first impeachment stems from a phone call Trump made in 2019 to Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky. Allegedly, Trump wanted to leverage military assistance to Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into his political rival at the time, Joe Biden. This was deemed an abuse of power and obstruction to Congress. However, he was acquitted by the Sensate in 2020.
The second impeachment stemmed from the January 6 Capital Riot in 2021 where armed Trump supporters stormed the US Capital in protest of Joe Biden winning the election. They wanted to keep Trump in power by all means necessary and attempted to prevent a joint session of Congress from counting the Electoral College votes, thereby making official the victory of then president-elect Joe Biden. Trump used social media as a means to fan the flames and encourage his supporters to use violent tactics to keep him in office. In a matter of 36 hours, five people died and many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Within 7 months, 4 officers who responded to the attack died by suicide. The damage that resulted from the attack surpassed $2.7 million. This attack on Capital Hill is the only attempted overthrow of the federal government in the history of the United States. As a result, the House charged Trump with inciting insurrection against the government. Again, he was later acquitted by the Senate. Ultimately, Joe Biden took office on January 20, 2021. But this would not be the last time we would hear from Donald J. Trump.
Spiritually speaking, Trump, like Satan, opposes everything that God stands for. The Lord spreads love. Trump spreads hate and has given a voice to white supremacist groups and racists throughout the country. The Lord promotes unity amongst brethren and is a God of order and peace. Trump promotes chaos and disrupts the peace as we could see with him encouraging the January 6 Capital Riot. He also has spread division within the US, promoting tension between racial groups and has further isolated this country by creating less than harmonious relations with foreign nations. God spreads truth. Trump, like his father the devil, blatantly lies every time he opens his mouth. His supporters are quite fanatic and believe whatever he says, whether true or not. A spirit has been placed on the people and as it says in 2 Thessalonians 2: 11-12, “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” He is the modern day Pharaoh but we will shed more on this comparison when we discuss his second term on a different day. Amen.

Joe Biden the 46th President tried to heal this country. Biden entered office amid the Covid-19 pandemic, an economic crisis and increased political polarization. He tried to revert some of the things the Trump administration did but ultimately his presidency failed.
Even though Biden wasn't explicitly mentioned in the bible, things transpired in his presidency that led to the re-election of Donald Trump. According to man's reasoning, this should not have happened. Trump shouldn't have become president again. But man's reasoning does not govern the world. God does! “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:” Daniel 2:21
Biden's presidency was directly affected by God's power and will. Many were amazed at the unraveling of President Biden and his power base. What happened speaks of God's uncanny ability to alter world events.
Joe Biden was well known and respected within the Democratic party. He was a six term senator from Delaware, and came from a blue collar background. He was known for standing up for the working and middle classes during his career. He resigned his seat to become Vice President under Obama in 2009. I must admit, I was surprised Obama chose him. Because in 2007, Biden gave a controversial interview stating: “I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean…” Many interpreted this as a racial insult disguised as a compliment. Nevertheless, Biden became Vice President under Obama.
election, promising to “Restore the Soul of America.” These words enticed the public who were downtrodden by the Covid 19 pandemic, a bad economy, and a sense that things were going downhill in America under Trump, which culminated with a violent insurrection on January 6th.
Biden oversaw the prosecution of Trump and his proxies for January 6th. Trump was indicted four times with a total of over 90 criminal counts spanning multiple states. His future appeared to be doomed. He spent months in and out of courtrooms. Many of his supporters were under investigation and/or sent to prison. MAGA was a dirty word.
In the beginning, Biden seemed to restore hope and order. The belief in the American dream was somewhat revitalized. Biden oversaw a massive spending spree to save the economy, and to help the poor and working classes. Much of the spending was for good. The Lord touched Biden, as he touched Obama, to help people in need.
programs. He spent more on the poor than Obama did. He expanded the child tax and earned income credit and passed laws lowering prescription drug prices for Medicare recipients. He gave 400 billion in stimulus checks and spent 200 billion to expand unemployment benefits.
Biden also increased SNAP and Medicaid payments and benefits. There were billions put into rental assistance, public housing and first time home buyer support. Biden created jobs. He invested 1.2 trillion in the nation's roads, bridges & public transport. His administration saw explosive job growth compared to the Covid economy.
Biden revitalized NATO which faltered under Trump. He led an international coalition to support Ukraine against the Russians.
Biden oversaw the economy being revitalized, but Babylon would not be healed.
Inflation began to overshadow the economy. (Historic 40 year inflation). All the money spent was not entirely on helping the poor. He also spent 1.6 Trillion on environmental policy. Some say his massive spending could have contributed to the overheating of the economy. Nevertheless, He lost support from many veterans because of the 2021 exit from Afghanistan.
There were record levels of immigration when Biden was president. This further inflamed the right!
Sodomy exploded under Biden. He was instrumental in celebrating and promoting it, both as Vice President, and President. Biden gave a public endorsement of sodomite marriage in 2012, before Obama ever did. This put pressure on Obama to announce his support merely days later. No matter the cause, Obama still supported it. This enabled Republican's extreme hatred and vitriol for Democrats. They saw the U.S. descending into moral decay. (As violence exponentially increased, so did sodomy. We have been living in the times of Noah & Lot for a while.) Not only was sodomite marriage now legal, (which allowed health insurance coverage for “spouses”) but it further publicly promoted sodomy in many different ways. This included movies, music, sports and even incarceration laws (transgender men could be locked up in a female prison). Sodomite men could now use the women's bathroom. The insane acts of these abominations spread like wildfire, invoking both cheer, and extreme anger and wrath. (People on the right were ready to do physical harm to people.)
2015 saw the birth of Drag queen story hour in which Sodomites toured the country to visit churches, synagogues, public libraries, day care centers, elementary schools, fire stations, hospitals, and military bases. Children in grade schools were allowed to change their preferred names indicating gender. Laws were passed where teenage children were allowed to have surgery to change their nature without having to get permission from their parents. Much of this abomination grew under Biden's presidency. Though it started under Obama, Biden initially encouraged it as Vice President. This is what prompted the Christian right and even former democrats to coalesce around Trump.
Republicans attacked Biden's age. For example, special counsel, Robert Hur didn't seek to prosecute Biden for holding classified files at his home. He publicly stated in Feb. 2024 that Biden was a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” In the months and weeks leading up to the debate, Republicans constantly attacked Biden even posting memes and videos of Biden falling and forgetting words in speeches. Democrats largely ignored these type of attacks until Biden's disastrous debate performance. Biden performed very poorly at the debate. Democrats were horrified at his performance. Anger and distrust begin to appear within the party.
Biden stumbled over words and phrases. He was hoarse. There were pauses between his words and bewildered looks on his face that seemingly indicated loss of memory. Recently, an article from CNN said that Jill Biden was worried Joe was having a stroke during the 2024 debate. Jill stated “I was frightened because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never.”
The debate destroyed the hopes of Biden winning. Democrats & Republicans both knew it. Democrats begin to fear the unthinkable: another Trump presidency. Biden's pride prevented him from stepping down sooner. He wouldn't listen to top leaders in the party. Biden gave an energetic speech hours after the debate. He didn't fumble words, and hit some strong and foreboding points. He said American democracy was at stake, freedom & America itself was at stake. The speech was well received. But the damage was done. Trust in Biden's team had already eroded.
Four weeks after the debate Biden stepped down and supported his Vice President Kamala Harris to run. Kamala entered the race and gave it new energy and hope. Kamala was no stranger to politics. Younger than both Biden and Trump, she was intelligent and articulate. She was popular with the youth and had many celebrity endorsements. She defeated Trump in the debates. Trump stayed on the defensive and seemed unhinged. Her experience as a prosecutor was shining. Republicans admitted Kamala won the debate, and they soon began to panic. Trump refused to debate Kamala again. Many polls showed Harris soundly winning the presidential race against Trump. This didn't happen. “ This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most high ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.” Daniel 4:17 Many Democrats may have a very difficult time understanding that it's God who didn't want Biden or Harris to win. While Republicans celebrated their victory, they also didn't understand why the Lord raised up Donald Trump. Amen.

Given Trump’s previous performance as president and the fact that he is a convicted felon, one would wonder how on earth did he get voted into office again. This of course was due to a spirit placed upon the people. However, lets dig further. Gallup polling shows that 54% of Americans viewed Biden’s presidency as “poor” and “below average.” In fact, 4 out of 10 Americans felt they were in a worse state financially than before the Biden administration. Also, historical polling showed a decline in positive views, especially among younger and minority demographics who supported him in the 2020 election. When he sought re-election, his performance during the June 2024 election sparked concerns over his age and cognitive ability to win the race. This served as the catalyst behind Biden dropping out of the race, as he received pressure from Democrats. Kamala Harris replaced Biden as the Democratic nominee. And though there was some excitement over the idea that a woman of color could be president, and there were prospects of her winning, God did not want her in office. For the election of 2024, Trump’s win was massive. He won 312 Electoral College votes to Harris' 226.
In his first week of office, he dismantled Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs within the public and private sectors that advance equal opportunity. This prevents lawful efforts to use criteria based on race, color, religion, gender or national origin to hire individuals. This is simply an agenda based on division and hate.
To decrease federal spending and shrink the government he initiated a program called DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). This resulted in massive layoffs of civil servants. Under the Trump administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations have increased greatly via the 2025 OBBBA (Omnibus Border and Border-Security Act). Trump has in fact increased the agency’s budget, pushing for mass deportations. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding ICE. Recently, an immigration enforcement program known as “Operation Metro Surge,” deployed thousands of ICE agents to the state of Minnesota. This lead to widespread arrests and fatal shootings by federal agents of civilian protestors including Renee Good and Alex Pretti. These fatal shootings igniting community protests with thousands of people taking to street to speak out against ICE and the Trump administration. Even state and local leaders began to heavily criticized Trump and the presence of ICE agents within Minnesota. Eventually, Trump agreed to draw down the operation by significantly decreasing the amount of ICE agents in this state.
Relations with foreign nations are further strained under the Trump administration. For example, he has imposed new tariffs, including a 10% tariff on imports from China. And most recently, he authorized strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as well as a major attack on Iran in February 2026. Recent attacks in Iran resulted in the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, plus dozens of top Iranian officials. This attack on Iran has also led to a regional fuel crisis with gas prices sky high.
AI is of particular interest and warrants discussion due to the current use of it in this country, particularly by President Trump. First lets provide a simple definition for AI. AI is computer technology designed to think and learn like humans. AI systems can process information, recognize patterns, solve problems, and make decisions on their own. Even if you are leery of technology and may not be the most savvy with it, you are likely using AI without even realizing it. For example, if you have a smartphone, AI is used for facial recognition features and smart digital assistants. Platforms, such as Netflix, use AI to recommend shows based on programs you have gravitated to in the past. Google Maps uses AI to calculate the fastest and most convenient routs by assessing traffic patterns in real-time. Companies frequently use Chatbots, which are virtual assistants, that can understand human language to enable automated customer service. These capabilities of AI serve as a convenience in society.
However, there is a dark side to AI, made evident through Trump, who uses AI as a primary form of communication and a political weapon. He has been known to post AI generated photos and fake videos to troll critics and political opponents on social platforms like Truth Social and X. For example, he posted a video of him being portrayed as a king flying in a jet labeled “King Trump” while dropping excrement on demonstrators. He posted a racist AI video, poking fun at the Obamas. There was recently a blasphemous photo of him circulating on the Internet with him being portrayed as Christ healing America. He also posted a video of throwing comedian, Stephen Colbert, who has been critical of the president, into a dumpster.
On the regulatory side, Trump values AI innovation over AI safety. Earlier in May of this year, Trump backed out of signing an executive order that would address safety concerns with AI. And he also scaled back safety regulations and constraints with AI that Biden put into place. He admitted that that he wanted to secure leadership over China in global AI Development.
To date, Congress has not passed any legislation around AI so it is developing rapidly without any safety measures. This poses risk for the country and its citizens.
For instance, AI if left unchecked, can be used as a guide to hurt people. Only last year, a Phoenix Ikner went to Florida State University to commit a mass shooting. He wounded six people and killed two. It was later revealed that ChatGPT, an AI tool from OpenAI, had apparently fed his anger and encouraged him! There was also a recent incident at the University of South Florida that involved the murder of 2 graduate students, Nahida Bristy and Zamil Limon. A 26 year old Hisham Abugharbieh, was charged for allegedly asking chatbot about the disposal and discovery of a body. There is even growing concerns that AI will eventually be used to set-up military attacks or target banking systems of countries.
It should be mentioned that 46% of people view AI as negative while only 38% hold a positive view. And 65% of Americans, nearly twothirds, feel the government is not doing enough to regulate AI. However, this is being disregarded by the Trump administration.
I haven’t covered everything that Trump has done, otherwise, this class would be never-ending. But you can see the significant damage he has caused to this nation and how it impacts us thus far. In the previous lesson on Trump I talked about how he opposes everything that God stands for, drawing a comparison between him and Satan. I now want to discuss how he is liken to a modern day Pharaoh, with Egypt being this world. Recall how Egypt was systematically destroyed plague by plague, as the foolish king repeatedly hardened his heart and refused to submit to God. Instead, Pharaoh thought of himself as God, yet he was unable to preserve Egypt from God’s judgment. Pharaoh did not realize he was merely a puppet and a tool God used to punish Egypt for what they did to his people and to show his power. In Romans 9: 17, “For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.”
God is rendering judgement on this world, starting with America. We use the time with Pharaoh in Egypt to draw a parallel to what we are experiencing now. Trump is like a dictator and in his arrogance and pride, he feels he is exempt from the laws of the land. Like Pharaoh, his heart is hardened and he will not listen to sound advice. He thinks he is like God and it is through his power alone that America can be healed. He wants to make America great again or shall we say white again by using a racist, misogynistic and hyper-nationalist approach. But little does he know, the very country he loves is being destroyed because of policies he has put in to place. Who knows what he will do next. But we must continue to be watchmen, waiting for this country to the fall, so that we can rise and gain eternal salvation. Amen.
