Since this is future, World War III will start between the 9th of Av (Kadesh Barnea) and 22nd of Tishri (Tabernacles) between August and October. Trumpets is the Rapture, the great rescue/disappearance of ~50 million people from both China and United States. Atonement is the covenant on the 10th of Tishri. Tabernacles is the feast of nations and Communist China's anniversary is October 1. China (red horse) fights the United States, India and Far East (black horse) (Revelation 6:3-4, 5-6). War escalates from conventional to cyber to nuclear war as a 200,000 million army crosses the Euphrates River heading for Middle East oil countries. A third of the world is about 2.7 billion people with most deaths from China, India and United States. The covenant causes the fall of America from superpower to missing from the 10 kingdom Beast. War lasts 3½ years and ends in April/Nisan (Unleavened Bread).

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. You shall do no work: but you shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord (Leviticus 23:24-25).

On the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. And you shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God (Leviticus 23:27-28).

Thus says the Lord of hosts; The fast of the fourth month [Golden Calf], fast of the fifth [Kadesh Barnea], fast of the seventh [Atonement], and fast of the tenth [Babylon siege of Jerusalem], shall be to the house of Judah joy, gladness and cheerful feasts; therefore love truth and peace (Zechariah 8:19).

The Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord (Leviticus 23:33-34)

The sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice ... saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. The four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, day, month, and year to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred million (Revelation 9:13-14, 15-16).

On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days you must eat unleavened bread (Leviticus 23:6).

The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe comes quickly (Revelation 11:14).

The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority (Revelation 13:2).

The Antichrist is crowned King of the World on the 10th of Nisan (Lamb Chosen) and follows with a global coronation celebration. There are two party crashers/witnesses (Revelation 11:3) and Antichrist sits in the temple as god (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). Those who are in Judea must flee. In April or Nisan during Unleavend Bread, World War IV begins. Red and green horses of Russia and radical Islam (Iran, Libya,Turkey) usurps Antichrist rule and invade Israel (Revelation 6:3-4, 7-8). Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom lion and her lion cubs (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United States) protest the invasion. God defends Israel and their enemies are decimated.

On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days you must eat unleavened bread (Leviticus 23:6).

When you see the abomination of desolation, spoken by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (who so reads, let him understand): Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains (Matthew 24:15-16).

After many days you shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them (Ezekiel 38:8).

Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions, shall say unto you, Are you come to take a spoil? have you gathered your company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? (Ezekiel 38:13).

Antichrist leads the Beast and unites the factions of horses, Middle East and Far East. The Euphrates River dries up for the king of the East. On the 9th of Av (Kadesh Barnea), all nations are represented and gather at Armageddon. They march to Jerusalem and take the city. There has never been such an unbalanced rout but the battle is the Lord's. After about two months, war ends on the Atonement (10th of Tishri) as Jesus Christ returns as High Priest and King of Kings with His people at the Second Coming.

Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it [the Promised Land]; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we (Numbers 13:30-31).

Thus says the Lord of hosts; The fast of the fourth month [Golden Calf], fast of the fifth [Kadesh Barnea], fast of the seventh [Atonement], and fast of the tenth [Babylon siege of Jerusalem], shall be to the house of Judah joy, gladness and cheerful feasts; therefore love truth and peace (Zechariah 8:19).

I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and [divided] my land (Joel 3:2).

On the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. And you shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God (Leviticus 23:27-28).

When he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake (Revelation 8:1, 5).

In the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets (Revelation 10:7).

The seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, voices, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail (Revelation 11:15, 19).

He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. The seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, thunders, lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague was exceeding great (Revelation 16:14-15, 16-18, 20-21).

Jesus Christ returns on Atonement (10th of Tishri) and redeems Israel. There are 30 days of mourning including Tabernacles, coronation of the King of Kings. The 10th of Heshvan (Noah) begins 45 days to judge the nations, dividing sheep from goats. Judgment end by the 25th of Kislev (Incarnation).

The Lord said unto Noah, Come you and all your house into the ark; for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation. It came to pass after seven days, that waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, second month, seventeenth day, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened (Genesis 7:1, 10-11).

From the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days (Daniel 12:11-12).

Consider now from this day and upward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, consider it. (Haggai 2:18)

Before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left (Matthew 25:32-33).

United States in the Bible: Symbols

It came to pass, as soon as [Moses] came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount (Exodus 32:19).

America declares independence on Thursday, July 4, 1776. The Jewish date is the 17th of Tammuz. Forty days after Pentecost, Moses descends from Mt. Sinai, sees the people worshipping the golden calf and breaks the tablets. The United States is the world's economic leader. Bulls and bears are symbols of Wall Street, the financial capital in New York City. On the Golden Calf, Babylon (586 BC) and Rome (70 AD) breach the walls of Jerusalem. Three weeks later on Kadesh Barnea, they destroy the Jewish temples. The United States is a wall that currently protects Israel. When America falls, Israel will stand alone in the world and must trust in God for salvation.

The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it (Daniel 7:4).

The majority protestant view says Daniel 7 repeats Daniel 2. This is found in St. Jerome's commentary in 390. Most agree Daniel 2 describes a statue of a man with five metals which are five empires: Babylon gold, Media-Persia silver, Greece bronze, Rome iron and Tribulation Beast iron and clay (Daniel 2:32-34, 37-38, 39-40, 41-42). However, Daniel 7 describes three nations/empires that merge into a fourth in the Tribulation (Revelation 13:2). Four empires do not equal five. In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom (Daniel 2:44). Does that refer back to Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus (Iraq, Iran) or forward to Charles the III, Vladimir and Antichrist (Europe)? Jesus Christ conquers Antichrist, False Prophet and world government then establishes His kingdom on earth.

Since we are ~1990 years into the End Times and prophecy is the only doctrine that still changes with time as the Tribulation nears, then control narrows to potential superpowers. Daniel 7 describes the feet/10 kings of the Tribulation Beast led by the United Kingdom lion, Russian bear, German leopard (Daniel 7:3-4, 5-6, 7, 8). The mouth of the lion is English, the most spoken first and second language. The bear is red and stands on communism/socialism (Revelation 17:3). The leopard has four heads (Holy Roman, German, Nazi and Federal Republic) with the wings of East and West Germany healed. The United States  eagle is born and torn from the United Kingdom lion on Thursday, July 4, 1776 (Golden Calf, 17th of Tammuz). After the Rapture, covenant, and World War III, China, India and United States are no longer superpowers. The European Union, Islam, Russia and United Nations transform into the ten king Tribulation Beast ruled by Antichrist.

When he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius; and see you hurt not the oil and the wine (Revelation 6:5-6).

The black horse of trade is capitalism. In accounting, black is profit and red is loss. John sees a vision of a market selling wheat, barley, olive oil and wine. Food is available but costs a denarius or day's wage (Matthew 20:8-9). Four horses have been on the run since the merger of church and state in 380. The United Kingdom was the economic leader of the world so the sun never set on its empire. In 1890, the United States became economic superpower. A pair of balances is on the US Treasury seal.

So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord has laid upon it; And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: Even all nations shall say, Wherefore has the Lord done this unto this land? what means the heat of this great anger? Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: (Deuteronomy 29:22, 23, 24-25).

In 1867, American author, Mark Twain, takes a trip to Europe and the Middle East and writes daily travel articles for two newspapers compiled in The Innocents Abroad. He arrives in Jerusalem in the Ottoman Empire on September 23 (23rd of Elul, 9/11, Teshuvah) and leaves on September 30 (Trumpets, 1st of Tishri). He says the holy land is desolate. Then God brings His people back to the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 30:1, 2, 3). Mark Twain is the stranger and America is the far land.

Palestine is desolate and unlovely. Why should it be otherwise? Can the curse of the Deity beautify a land?
----Mark Twain, Chapter 56, The Innocents Abroad, 1867

Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions, shall say unto you, Are you come to take a spoil? have you gathered your company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? (Ezekiel 38:13).

At the middle of the Tribulation after the coronation of the Antichrist, Russia and radical Islam invade Israel to take the spoils of war. Sheba and Dedan are Saudi Arabia. Tarshish is the far west Mediterranean Sea. The United Kingdom is a lion and cubs are her colonies (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United States). After World War III and the invasion of Israel, America protests the war. No one comes to help Israel but God intervenes for His people.

The woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent (Revelation 12:14).

Revelation 12 is a prophetic sign in the sky and overview of the Tribulation. From November 2016 to September 2017, Jupiter travels forward and retrograde motion (reverse) in the constellation Virgo for nine months ending with an alignment of the Sun, Moon, nine stars and three planets on September 23, 2023 (Trumpets, 1st of Tishri). Mary gives birth to Jesus and Herod plots to kill Him. Israel gives birth to the Church which is raptured. She flees from the Beast into the wilderness where God prepares a place and food for 1260 days or 3½ years.

The woman is given two wings of a great eagle. God does miracles but most times God works with people to do the supernatural. Two wings are a reference to the eagle of Daniel 7:4. It is possible that after World War III, America uses airplanes to evacuate Israeli refugees to the wilderness (Psalm 91:4-6).

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (1 Corinthians 15:52).

November 2015 was one year before the 2016 election. In the article Last President?, the person that wins the election, reelected in 2020, would finish in January 2025. It was possible that the Tribulation could begin during the last term. Some church people said Trump-Pence (trumpets). New outsider, businessman Donald Trump upset old Washington insider Hillary Clinton. Five years later, insider, forgetful Joe Biden won and Trump was out. After two impeachments, two assassination attempts, Trump is back. He is second only to Grover Cleveland, winning nonconsecutive term. The last term ends on January 20, 2029.

Trump is president and his name is in the Bible. Does the Rapture and Tribulation occur in September or October during the last Trump term (2026, 2027, 2028)? Do we see more of his strong support for Israel or work with the Middle East to let Iran go nuclear or finalize the covenant that Antichrist confirms the surrender of Israeli land to Palestine?

Since there are more question then answers to this unfinished chapter, go back to the facts. God told us His plan and He picks leaders that will serve His purpose. America is in the Bible and God has blessed America to be a more perfect union. Every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Starting with America, all nations fall and Jesus Christ reigns.

Now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant.(Jeremiah 27:6)

The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers: he turns it wherever he will (Proverbs 21:1).

The story of our redemption through Jesus Christ is the greatest story ever told. This book describes the greatest ending of the greatest story.
----Robert Cook, 21st Century Revelation: World Wars, Iraq Wars & End Wars

United States in the Bible: Presidents

Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies. Where Sodom and Gomorrah [raised] their domes and towers, ... in whose bitter waters no living thing exists ... about whose borders nothing grows but weeds....
Palestine is desolate and unlovely. And why should it be otherwise? Can the curse of the Deity beautify a land?
