Kingdom Come

2021 – Nearly 20 years after the United States’ invasion of Afghanistan, the cost of its global war on terror stands at $8 trillion. 

President Donald Trump and his newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, have made quick work in its goals to slash spending and shrink the federal government to save on costs of human services in order to fund more war.

The America you knew is over. The bedrock values, allies and truths America could always be counted upon to defend are now all in doubt — or for sale.

“There were things that I never could have imagined would happen in Russia…“I know he said he’s going to arrest people, but how could that possibly happen”—and then they go ahead and do it. Trump was talking about deporting people on the campaign trail… Sure enough, that’s exactly what happened..

There’s this weird dynamic that the only legitimacy becomes sort of domination and extremely high popularity.

In the 1990s during the chaotic aftermath of the Soviet Union’s collapse, Russian oligarchs made their fortunes privatizing state assets of oil and gas, metals and mining, railway and transportation, agricultural products and other core industries, often in corrupt deals. Putin, who has ruled Russia in one form or another since 2000, treats tycoons and their businesses as pawns in his political chess matches.

And that’s exactly how Trump has conducted business with the federal government’s assets and influence.

Some of the world’s richest entrepreneurs collectively earned $64 billion as a result of Trump’s reelection. Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, saw his wealth skyrocket from about $265 billion to $290 billion the day after the election results were counted, and has since increased to $412 billion as of February 9, 2025.

Trump has expressed very clearly that that’s how he understands power. His expressions of support for Putin have centered around Putin’s extremely high popularity and Putin’s tight control of government... there’s a really high danger that there will be a war abroad, because that’s the way to get popularity.

Trump is certainly carrying out Putin’s vision of Trump as his blunt instrument “to manage” – translate “expedite” – America’s “inevitable decline”, freeing Russia to pursue a Eurasian Union into Russia’s “fifth empire”, ruling from Moscow as the third Rome, the Western / Gentile leg of the Fourth Empire.

What is truly terrifying for Bible believers at this time is that this prophecy of the end of the world is being streamed live every night on the internet.

“And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against

• Gog, the land – translation of Gog not found other than being derived from gag / rooftop. 
  • At this very early stage of civilization simple words were used to reference both objects and concepts. In this flat-roofed society a “rooftop” would be, conceptually, the oversight of one’s yard, neighborhood, town, i.e. society. From a map’s perspective we can infer that Gog is the northern capitol region of a confederation, defined as military in the following verse.
• of Ma-gog, the Gentile / European chief prince of Meshech and Tubal confirmed by “the sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.” (Genesis 10:2)

“And say, Thus saith the LORD God; Behold, I am against thee…and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen,

Restricting our search to the post-flood era allows us to identify Gog north of Mesopotamia in a plains region notable for raising horses, i.e. north of the mountainous region. Human settlement on the territory of modern Russia dates back to the Lower Paleolithic, i.e. the biblical post-flood era.

Currently, this land is the Russian Federation, the largest country in the world, extending across eleven time zones; sharing land borders with fourteen countries, and is the ninth-most populous country in the world.

“in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel…

and all thy bands, and many people with thee…

all of them clothed with all sorts of armour [think modern metallic warfare], even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords / weapons.” (Ezekiel 38)

1. the chief prince of Meshech –  Mushki, also associated with Phrygians, in modern Turkey
2. and Tubal – Caucasian Iberians, ancestors of modern Georgians
3. Ethiopia,
4. Libya
5. Persia / Iran
6. Gomer – the Cimmerians, who dwelt in the Pontic–Caspian steppe, “beyond the Caucasus”. Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari (c. 915) recounts a Persian tradition that Gomer lived to the age of 1000, equaling the lifespan of Nimrod, consistent with his generation as a grandson of Noah. This allows for historical accounts of his offspring showing up to the far extents of Europe in Denmark.
7. and all his bands (spreading throughout Europe as far west as the Atlantic Ocean
   1. in Galatia / Turkey
   2. the Cappadocians
   3. the Gauls / France
   4. the Celts / throughout Europe as far west at Ireland.
   5. Togarmah (Ezekiel 27:14) – regarded as the ancestor of the more than 35 languages spoken Turkic-speaking peoples from Eastern and Southern Europe to West Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, Siberia, Mongolia to Northwest China.
8. Sheba / Yemen
9. Dedan / northwest Arabia, 
10. the merchants of Tarshish / Turkey, with all the young lions thereof [straining to get into the fight], shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? [I.e. – “We want in!”]

Russia and the former-Soviet Republics / “stans” of Central Asia, comprising Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan share a deep historical heritage with a strong linguistic, cultural and economic presence in today’s society. Russia holds a strong economic and political soft-power position in the bloc with the Moscow-dominated Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) as the most prominent initiatives.
