Hello, everyone.
This podcast was recorded for the first week of October 2026. In fact, today is Friday, October 2nd. I thought to get things started, I would simply read the daily text. Examining the Scriptures Daily is the real name. “God is a revealer of secrets,” and that’s taken from Daniel 2:28.
Well, the Watchtower’s comment says, “We are living in exciting times. Each day, Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. For example, we see the king of the north and the king of the south engaged in a struggle for world dominance. We see the good news of God’s kingdom being preached on an unprecedented scale, with millions responding favorably. And we are receiving an abundance of spiritual food at the proper time. Jehovah continues to help us to have a clearer understanding of the major events that lie just ahead. We can be certain that by the time the great tribulation starts, we will know all we need to know in order to endure faithfully and even prosper during the challenging period. However, we must recognize that there are some things that we just do not know about the near future.”
Well, I would have to agree with all of those comments with a few qualifications. We are living in exciting times, but unfortunately, they’re going to get a lot more exciting, I do believe. And we are seeing the king of the north and the king of the south struggling for world dominance, but it’s not what Jehovah’s Witnesses imagine or what they’ve been led to believe. And that’s because the king of the north is not Russia. The king of the north is the British Empire, what people call globalism. But it’s headquartered in London and the City of London and has been for a few centuries. And the king of the south is their one-time breakaway colony, the United States of America.
When you look on the surface of it, it does appear that obviously war is brewing between NATO and Russia, but is Russia really the aggressor? If you read mainstream news, yes, definitely. Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked, and now they’re threatening to invade all of Europe, and so we must get ready for war with Russia. Well, none of that is true, and people that have studied this surely know that NATO pushed… They broke their agreement with Russia, for one thing. They said they would not expand eastward, and they broke their word. Russia took them at their word, which was a mistake. But now they want to bring Ukraine into NATO, and they want to place missiles in the Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, right on Russia’s border. So, who’s pushing who? And of course, there was a coup in Kiev in 2014 that brought these Banderites, neo-Nazis really, and they immediately outlawed the speaking of Russian in eastern Ukraine, which was predominantly Russian. So it was a deliberate provocation, and they started killing their own citizens, some 14,000 by the time Putin intervened.
But interesting thing about the king of the north, actually, many interesting things, and this disproves the Watchtower’s interpretation. If we read the account in the 11th chapter of Daniel, verse 36 says, “The king will do as he pleases.” This is the king of the north. “And he will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and against the God of gods, he will speak astonishing things, and he will prove successful until the denunciation comes to a finish, because what is determined must take place.” Okay, so the king of the north will go all the way to the end, and he will be successful. Well, it says he will speak astonishing things against the God of gods. Well, that’s what it says of the two-horned beast in Revelation, which the Watchtower interprets to be the Anglo-American beast. So is it two different entities, or is it the same? Well, all of the visions in Revelation speak to the same development, the arising of the last king. First, this system must collapse, and then the eighth king comes to power. Everything the Watchtower teaches on this is wrong, and it all has to do, of course, with 1914.
Another thing the Watchtower has wrong is they say that the king of the south will be on hand when Michael stands up and does away with the king of the north. But there’s no mention of the king of the south in that text. It says, “And he will come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him.” Again, who was the pronoun he? The king of the north. Why is there no mention of the king of the south? Well, because he will be subdued by the king of the north. Do we really expect Russia to be successful until the end? What about the Anglo-American dual world power? So it’s way out of focus.
But as regards the king of the south, and the Watchtower did actually show some insight here when it talks about the king of the north. It says, “He will keep thrusting out his hand against the lands, and as regards the land of Egypt, she will not escape, and he will rule over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the desirable things of Egypt.” Well, Egypt was the original king of the south after Alexander’s empire was broken up. And so this mention of Egypt here is a cryptic way of speaking about the king of the south, and the king of the north comes to dominate Egypt, the king of the south. Well, the Watchtower says that happened during the 1950s and ’60s, that the USSR, the supposed king of the north, ruled over all the hidden treasures of the United States. Really? How did he do that? By promoting the arms race, and he drove America into bankruptcy. Really? And of course, the truth is exactly 180 degrees off. It was the USSR that went bankrupt and was absolutely dissolved in 1991 because the arms race, some will say President Reagan deliberately ramped up the arms race for the purpose of driving the USSR into insolvency. So, brilliant. But that’s really why there’s no mention of the king of the south, because the king of the north, this globalist empire, look, he’s already gutted the United States. This king of the north, in the form of the British Empire, globalism, seduced the United States into destroying itself from within. The United States was the world’s greatest creditor after World War II, an industrial powerhouse. And beginning in the 1970s, that all began to be offshored, and now the United States doesn’t produce anything really, except weapons.
But there is a president who is restoring that industrial capacity. His campaign motto, “Make America Great Again,” is not just a motto. He’s making good on it. He’s bringing back industries that were offshored. Just this week, he announced the opening of a new steel mill. They’ve shut down all the steel mills in the United States. The United States has to import steel, which is crazy. But they’re opening up a plant in Iowa, and they’re opening up a new mine in the Iron Belt in Minnesota that has the highest grade iron ore ever. And it’ll be the largest steel mill ever in the United States and one of the largest in the world.
So, the globalists have said, and I can’t quote who said this, it was somebody in the British oligarchy, if Donald Trump does his full term, you know, two more years, two and a half more years, globalism will not recover because Donald Trump is taking it down. And his attack on Iran is a big part of that, because Iran is a key British asset, just as Israel is. And the strategy of the empire is to keep the nations in a state of semi-war, and they’re easier to control that way, and you make a profit. So Donald Trump is pushing back against this globalism.
Well, that reminds us of verse 40. “In the time of the end, the king of the South will engage with him, the king of the North, in a pushing, and it will result in the king of the North storming with chariots and horsemen and many ships.” So I believe that this pushing is what’s taking place now. We are living in exciting times, and this pushback, this flooding over, will be world war, and it will take down the nation-state system, particularly the Anglo-American system. Completely, utterly crash.
So the Watchtower’s daily text that we can be certain by the time the Great Tribulation starts, we’ll know all we need to know. Really? Well, surely Jehovah’s Witnesses know that there is no allowance in the Watchtower’s outlook for World War III, for the collapse of the Anglo-American system and the imposition of a global totalitarian communistic world government. The Watchtower claims that the eighth king began ruling in 1922 in the form of the League of Nations, which is laughable, really. And obviously, they don’t say that too loudly now because they don’t want too many people to notice how absurd and ludicrous such an interpretation of prophecy really is. And of course, the United Nations sprang from the League of Nations, so supposedly it has been the eighth king ever since World War II. And most people probably don’t know, but you’ve been receiving the mark of the beast ever since 1922, which means that you are condemned to permanent death. Why Jehovah’s Witnesses preach to the eternally condemned is inexplicable, but it’s just simply not true.
One thing we do see, though, we see the good news of God’s kingdom being preached on an unprecedented scale, and millions have responded favorably. Yes, Jesus said, “The good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth, and then the end will come.” Is that the end of the world? Armageddon? Do you mean people will be preaching, standing on the street corner with their literature carts during the Great Tribulation? That doesn’t make any sense, and it can’t be true. In Mark, he records Jesus as saying that the good news must be preached first. First before what? First before you’re persecuted, thrown from the synagogue, hauled before governors and kings to give them a witness. So the end that will come is the end, not of the world, the end of this present system and the imposition of a patchwork new system, a new world order, but it’s still under Satan’s control. All right? It’s also the end of Christianity in the sense that there will be no more calling and choosing. So the light is not getting brighter and brighter as the Watchtower would like to believe, have you believe. It seems to me it’s actually getting more dim. The light is going out while they’re telling you it’s getting brighter and brighter. Those of us who’ve been around for a while and were reading the Watchtower years ago can see how it is becoming more and more watered down, and the articles are so simplified, it’s like written for grade schoolers. Now, I understand part of that is society in general, especially in the United States, people are being stupefied and dumbed down. People are graduating high school, college now that can barely read. And so maybe there is an attempt to make things simple for, you know, the lowest of the low, but I don’t think that explains all of it.
And the Watchtower’s sudden reversal of what constitutes a blood transfusion, I won’t speak too much on that because I just did a video on that, but that is going to… I can’t imagine it not disturbing a lot of Jehovah’s Witnesses, because more than a few have lost their lives because they refused to take a transfusion, not just of whole blood, but of plasma, red platelets, of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets. And now it’s like, forget all of that. You do what you want. It’s up to you, between you and God. And you can donate blood too. That’s an entirely a conscience matter. We have nothing to say about that. You just can’t donate whole blood. So you can give it to them, and they can extract what they want and give it back to you, and if that’s okay with you, it’s okay with us, and probably okay with God, blah, blah, blah.
Well, what is going to happen when world war breaks out? Jesus said, “Many will be stumbled and hate one another and betray one another.” He’s not talking about unbelievers. He’s talking about people that used to be in the truth, as we say. Christians who will be absolutely waylaid. So here, the Watchtower, on the one hand, is saying, “You know everything you need to know, and we may even prosper during the Great Tribulation.” World war is going to be a horrific ordeal, and we’re talking about the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, war, famine, pestilence. Do I need to tell you that this fuel shortage is leading to fertilizer shortage, and farmers are not gonna have enough fuel to plant next spring unless there’s some radical change? I mean, the horsemen are lined up. And what does Revelation say? That war, famine, and pestilence have authority over a quarter of mankind to kill them. So we’re talking about a couple of billion people. Let that sink in. The good news is, if you can call it that, they don’t go to gehenna. They go to the grave, which means they have an opportunity for a resurrection. So that might be the best thing that can happen to some people, is to get killed and have an opportunity to rise from the dead. But when this beast comes back to life, that’s when the judgment begins.
And Jehovah’s Witnesses should know enough now to know that God will not allow us to compromise in any way with Satan’s system, because at that time, Jesus will be ruling. Jesus has not begun ruling. 1914 is part of this operation of error that God allows. And why can’t the Watchtower see that? Because Jehovah has blinded them. He’s covered the heads of his prophet. You know, I mentioned this before, but years ago, even before I started the website, I had a conversation with a governing body member, and I told him my views on the Book of Joel, and he wasn’t very receptive, although in the 20 years since then, the Watchtower has come around to what I had originally said about that, about the locust not representing Jehovah’s Witnesses. In any case, though, he said something to me. He said, “If Jehovah wants the governing body to know anything, he will reveal it to them directly and not from some outsider.” You know, and I’ve thought about that off and on, and he’s absolutely right. And the reverse of that is true. If he doesn’t want them to know something, they will not know it.
And we are living in interesting times, exciting times, that’s for sure. The globalists, it seems, are intent on whatever they have to do to change the course of things. There’s a midterm election in just a month now, and they’re hoping that the Democrats can get back in the majority, and they can again try to impeach Trump, try to overthrow this Make America Great Again campaign. I don’t know. I don’t know if they’ll succeed in doing that. They’ll try, obviously, maybe try to rig the election again. But even at that, so what if they would impeach Trump? He seems to have around him a team now that can carry on the vision. You know? It’s gaining momentum.
So I think… I don’t know. I don’t wanna speculate, but I’m gonna speculate. I think if the Democrats do not achieve a majority in Congress, then the globalists will be forced to do something really, really nasty and essentially blow everything up, create war, crash the global financial system, which they can do very easily. I mean, they control it. They keep it puffed up. They keep the bubbles aloft, and that’s not an easy thing to do. But they can also pop it and just crash everything. And that’s what I expect. And because the United States is so much in debt that the creditors and basically the City of London and some of these massive outfits like BlackRock, they could foreclose on the United States. They could absolutely put it into receivership and take the gold and silver and natural resources, and that would be it for this once great nation, the greatest nation ever. You know, Jehovah agrees with that assessment because in Ezekiel, he likens this Egypt to this towering cedar. No other tree in the Garden of Eden was like it, and all the other trees in the forests wanted to be like it, and the people wanted to live under its shade. Everyone wants to come to America and prosper, and that’s the way it’s been. But it’s Jehovah’s will that it be cut down. It’s Jehovah’s will to make a statement and to get people’s attention, and that will be when Christ begins ruling. And so then people really will have to make a choice. Do I want to perpetuate Satan’s wicked system of things, or am I willing to suffer and even die if need be to support Christ’s then ruling kingdom? And that will be the hour of test, for sure.
Recently, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, he said that we’re at the end of a 500-year period of European domination. He meant the globalist system. And he said, “When a beast is injured, it becomes very dangerous.” And really, that, I believe, is where we’re at historically, and it lines up with what the prophecies are saying.
Well, anyway, that’s gonna do it for this episode. I am going to leave you with a little musical piece, an AI-driven rendition of the Psalms, Psalm 75 and Psalm 61 respectively. Until the next time, thanks for listening.
