Last summer I, like most people, thought the USA was dying a slow death. Every facet of our government was in an unbiblical and unapologetic state of decline.
I was hopeful Trump could get elected to slow down some of the Satanic influence and 
ungodly principles being shoved down our throats. I have to admit I prayed prayers that the Lord would give us a reprieve.
In my wildest imagination I never dreamed the Lord would answer our prayers with this much happening so fast! We can only marvel at all the decisions President Trump is making.
It’s almost surreal as it seems every day comes another pinch-me zinger. And much of what he’s accomplishing directly lines up with Biblical prophecy. 
This is especially interesting as now President Trump is expanding the USA’s conservative turn, a rejection of Globalists/Satanists influence around the world.
Germany just voted in a conservative government (4). Argentina is following the USA’s conservative path. Egypt wants to rebuild Gaza. Amazing.
Trump almost single-handedly stopped all the DEI and Transgender nonsense in its tracks. And countries around the world are following his lead. He’s basically saying, “Wake up, the [woke] king has no clothes.”
The Lord apparently felt the world was moving too fast toward world government, or at least toward Klaus Schwab’s New World Order.
(To read more on Trump's Economic Revolution, more info is posted below in the "Additional Resources.")
Of course we don't know what's ahead economically for the USA. Trump has huge monetary obstacles to overcome (3). But based on his first few weeks...you have to say we have nothing to lose, if we don't do something, it WILL eventually collapse. So let him run with his plan.
Just to be clear, I am in no way implying President Trump could be the Antichrist. There’s zero chance of that because he doesn’t fit the description of being homosexual and from the Middle East.(2)
However, the New World Leader will probably have Trump-like appeal. Obama, of course, may still be in the running. 🤔
One of our most watched Steeling the Mind Bible Conference presentations of all time is by Andy Woods, entitled “Is 2 Thes. 2 Apostasy or Rapture?”
Let no one in any way deceive you, for it [The Day of the Lord] will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, 2Th. 2:3b
Andy shows that the word “apostasy” means the “Rapture,” and that it must happen before the New World Leader/Antichrist will be revealed.(1)
Therefore, no one will know the identity of the NWL until after the Rapture. If you do figure it out, you’ve got bigger problems because you've missed the Rapture! 🙂
As I have often stated, there is no other nation on the earth that fits “latter-day Babylon” better than the USA. If you are new to Compass and have not heard this explained, CLICK HERE to see the verses that make the case.
The most important thing to gain from the above article link is understanding “double reference” or “duel prophecy fulfillment.” One scripture may have two fulfillments. Sometimes you have to dig a little to figure out what a verse is saying.
"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter..." Prov. 25:2
So applying latter-day Babylon verses to the USA we see a rich and powerful nation that affects the entire globe…right up until the Rapture.
If our hypothesis is correct, the USA will be successful with its worldwide influence, right up until we split the clouds. Then America dies a quick and horrible death.
in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; Rev. 18:8
Here are six verses that describe the USA’s world influence in the last days before our exciting skyward disappearing act.
“…the [military] hammer of the whole earth Jer. 50:23
The USA has some 750 foreign military bases worldwide spread across 80 nations.
He says, “You are My war-club, My weapon of war; And with you I shatter nations, and with you I destroy kingdoms.” Jer. 51:20
The Hebrew definition of “war-club” is “shatterer.” The U.S. has shattered several nations through the years … Germany, Japan, Iraq, etc.
Babylon has been a golden cup in the hand of the LORD, intoxicating all the earth. The nations have drunk of her wine; Jer. 51:7a
The meaning of this verse, applied to the USA, is that God has used America’s wealth and power as a cup of wrath, intoxicating nations worldwide.
God is always in control and has allowed the USA much material success, as well as being an influential Christian base for worldwide missions.
Scripture also describes the USA being a large trader of luxurious goods worldwide. We know that because this verse describes what was being traded just before the Rapture.
“And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more —cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every kind of citron wood and every article of ivory and every article made from very costly wood and bronze and iron and marble, and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargoes of horses and chariots and slaves and human lives." Rev. 18:11-13
But, unfortunately, a lot of the USA’s material success has grown dark through the years. That description above includes human lives being trafficked (Rev. 18:13). We’re also known worldwide for exporting massive amounts of pornographic material. And it’s all this darkness that intoxicates the whole earth.
all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality.” Rev. 18:3
But the biggest sin by the USA is her distributing “sorcery/drugs” worldwide—to “all the nations.”
your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery [Greek=“drugs”]. Rev. 18:23b
The USA is destroyed post-Rapture in one hour.
for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!’ Rev 18:17
The whole earth will mourn as her destruction reverberates over the whole earth.
the kings of the earth, who committed acts of immorality and lived sensuously with her, will weep and lament over her Rev. 18:9a
all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and men will no longer find them. Rev 18:14b
the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more. Rev.18:11
So if we’re correct in our Babylon/USA hypothesis, the USA will be fully operational right up to the Rapture. Trump could very well set us on an amazing economic path until our dumbfounding exit.
Matt. 24 and Luke 17 promise the world will have a working economy, lights, food, drink, weddings and construction right up until the Rapture.
Then Revelation 18 explains after the Rapture the economy stops, the lights go out, food becomes scarce, construction and weddings cease.
Here’s a chart that we’ve often used in the past:
The point is—Trump and Vance taking their agenda to Europe and the Middle East is consistent with what the Bible says the USA will be doing at the time of the Rapture. So Trump's being used by God to slow down the latest attempt at global government, until His pre-determined perfect timing has arrived.
To me latter day Bible prophecy about events surrounding the days before and after the Rapture seems clear as a bell. But not everyone sees it. Jesus will come as a “thief in the night” to non-Believers.
For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. 1Th. 5:2
Most people on the earth have no clue what’s dead ahead. Or that what President Trump is doing here, in Europe and the Middle East was prophesied 2000 to 2600 years ago.
In a split-second people’s lives who are not born again will be changed forever. Nothing will ever be the same again.
But scripture tells us many Born-again Believers will see all the latter day Bible prophecies coming together. 
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; 1Th. 5:4-5
God has revealed last days’ truth in His Word. Believers have Holy Spirit illumination of scripture! PTL!
For God has not destined us for wrath, 1Th. 5:9
Rather, He will rescue us prior to the horrible judgment coming on the world.
Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. 1Thes. 1:10
Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1Th. 4:18
God’s Word is comforting!!!!

“Some people with this syndrome,” the Times reports, “appear to show distinct biological changes—among them differences in immune cells, reawakening of a dormant virus called Epstein-Barr, and the persistence of a coronavirus protein in their blood.”
This graphic illustrates how long $1 million along with Social Security benefits lasts in every state, according to data from GOBankingRates. It includes groceries, healthcare, housing, utilities, transportation, and miscellaneous expenses.
In three states—Massachusetts (19 years), California (16 years), and Hawaii (12 years)—$1 million would be completely spent in less than 20 years.
By contrast, the same amount could last over 70 years in five states: Oklahoma (71 years), Louisiana (76 years), Arkansas (76 years), Mississippi (87 years), and West Virginia (88 years).
In these states, a person would need less than $1,200 per month (after Social Security) to cover expenses.
In 36 states, $1 million, combined with Social Security, would be enough to fund at least 30 years of retirement.
Of course, often people retire and then die. Maybe it's because scripture says there is no such thing as retirement. Just the opposite...
Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; By the sweat of your face you will eat bread, till you return to the ground, because from it you were taken; For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Gen. 3:17
Hmmmm.....
We wrote an article about retirement a few years back:
While the mainstream media obsesses over doom and gloom, they’re missing the real story: President Trump’s bold economic vision could unleash the greatest wave of prosperity in American history.
“We’re going to bring back the American dream…. And we’re going to have an America that’s bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than ever before,” declared President Trump.
This isn’t just campaign rhetoric. After a recent meeting at Mar-a-Lago, even Bill O’Reilly came away convinced that Trump is “perhaps the best prepared new president in history” with a clear blueprint for unleashing American innovation.
According to Alexander Green, Chief Investment Strategist at The Oxford Club, this economic transformation could create up to 20 million new millionaires over the next four years. During Trump’s first term, the small-cap stocks saw come incredible top gains including:
According to Green, Trump is following a proven historical blueprint that created the greatest period of prosperity in American history – the Roaring Twenties under President Calvin Coolidge.
Like Trump, Coolidge cut taxes, kept tariffs high, and drained the swamp. During his presidency, the U.S. saw:

If this is where we're headed, we certainly don't deserve it. But none of us deserve to have our sins forgiven either. So don't stop praising the Lord for what He's doing and keep praying for President Trump—DAILY!
Courageous Discourse is reporting:
The largest COVID-19 'vaccine' safety study ever conducted, involving 99 million 'vaccinated' individuals, found up to a 610% increased risk of myocarditis following mRNA va((ine injection.
As shown in our study, Risk Stratification for Future Cardiac Arrest after COVID-19 Vaccination, vaccine-induced myopericarditis may trigger reentrant ventricular tachycardia or spontaneous ventricular fibrillation, often precipitated by a surge in catecholamines during intense exercise or shortly after waking, leading to sudden cardiac death.
This explains the findings of our other study, Excess Cardiopulmonary Arrest and Mortality after COVID-19 Vaccination in King County, Washington, which found a 1,236% surge in excess cardiac arrest deaths following the COVID-19 vaccination campaign among a sample size of over 2 million.
Furthermore, Ethical Skeptic’s analysis of CDC data reveals that excess sudden cardiac deaths skyrocketed after the COVID-19 mRNA injection rollout.
So LISTEN created a separate category called PVS —post-vaccine syndrome— and started studying that group as well.
Iwasaki’s team compared PVS patients to healthy controls. What they found was concerning. In dry academic language, the team reported that PVS people “exhibited differences in immune profiles.”
Not good differences, either. Bad ones.
It’s another covid mystery. “The molecular mechanisms of PVS,” the researchers wrote, “remain largely unknown.” But “there is considerable overlap in self-reported symptoms between long COVID and PVS.” Their symptoms are nearly identical.
The most commonly reported symptoms were: “excessive fatigue (85%), tingling and numbness (80%), exercise intolerance (80%), brain fog (77.5%), difficulty concentrating or focusing (72.5%), trouble falling or staying asleep (70%), neuropathy (70%), muscle aches (70%), anxiety (65%), tinnitus (60%) and burning sensations (57.5%).”
“The general health status of the PVS participants,” the researchers said, “was far below the general US population average, indicative of lower quality of life.” Thanks again, experts.
Clinically, so far as I can tell, the only difference between LCS and PVS is that PVS patients never got covid. They can tell for sure, because of the absence of a certain type of blood antibody present after natural covid but not after the vaccines.

Someone in the US recently took possession of approximately 30 million ounces of physical gold—equal to over 11% of the US government’s reported gold reserves.
The gold market is typically dominated by paper trading, making large physical deliveries exceptionally rare. When they do occur, they often signal major shifts in the monetary system.
Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have fired a shot across the bow: "Audit Fort Knox."
The U.S. claims to have 147.3 million troy ounces of gold locked inside, worth over $430 billion—but no one has done a full bar-by-bar verification in over 70 years. The most recent comprehensive audit of the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox occurred in 1953, shortly after President Dwight D. Eisenhower took office.
Could this be a quick spot check to calm the skeptics? Or are we talking about a full-scale audit that could take years? Let’s break it down.
How Much Gold Are We Talking About?
This isn’t just a pile of gold—it’s an economic superpower locked behind steel and secrecy.
How Long Would an Audit Take?
A full audit would require every single bar to be:
✔️ Physically removed
✔️ Weighed
✔️ Checked for purity
✔️ Verified against outdated government records
But here’s the problem: Fort Knox isn’t one giant open space—it’s actually divided into 13 separate vault rooms. The bars aren’t neatly laid out for easy access either. They’re stacked six feet high and 4–5 bars deep, making it even harder to remove and verify each one.
The vault itself is about the size of two basketball courts, meaning only 25-30 auditorscould likely work inside at a time. Add in strict security clearances, multi-agency oversight, and chain-of-custody procedures, and things slow to a crawl.
Even with an ambitious 12 bars per hour per team, here’s what the audit timelines look like:
🔎 A 10% Spot Check (36,800 bars)
✅ Estimated Time: 6 months
✅ Why? A quick check to calm public fears—but it wouldn’t confirm if all the gold is there.
🧐 A 50% Audit (184,000 bars)
✅ Estimated Time: 2 years
✅ Why? This would give a much clearer picture but still leaves half the vault unverified.
⏳ A Full Audit (368,000 bars)
✅ Estimated Time: 4 years
✅ Why? The only way to truly confirm the entire gold supply.
And if even 5-10% of bars have record inconsistencies? Resolving those issues alone could add months, if not years.
Security & Logistical Challenges:🔸 Security Clearance: Every auditor needs background checks and security clearance before touching a bar
🔸 Physical Handling: Bars must be removed, inspected, and verified one by one
🔸 Problem Bars: Any discrepancies trigger forensic testing, adding even more delays
The takeaway? There’s no quick way to verify this much gold.
What If Some Gold Is Missing?
Skeptics have long speculated: Is all the Fort Knox gold really there? If even a fraction of bars were missing, swapped, or lower purity than claimed, the government would have serious explaining to do.
And if anything looked suspicious? Expect lengthy investigations, forensic testing, and even longer delays before the public got answers.
With gold rapidly moving from Western vaults and prices surging, skepticism is growing. Which make the price volatile.

There long have been legitimate concerns when Americans travel to restrictive nations – those that don't accept the multitude of rights Americans enjoy – such as North Korea. Or China. Or even Islamic regimes like Iran, or Saudi Arabia.

This is a video of Mark Zuckerberg that was apparently recorded at a virtual Q&A meeting for Facebook staff that was streamed live on July 16, 2020.
In the video he states:
I do just want to make sure that I share some caution on this because we just don’t know the long-term side effects of basically modifying people’s DNA and RNA to directly code in a person’s DNA and RNA.
Basically the ability to produce those antibodies and whether that causes other mutations or other risks downstream. So there’s work on both paths of vaccine development.

Unreal. HHS redefined infant death due to vaccination as accidental suffocation, SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), and even shaken-baby syndrome.
