The Final Prophetic Shift Has Begun: America Now Speaks Like the Dragon | The Truth Project 31

Today we are watching the stage being set. A growing group of political leaders, including figures such as Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio, are increasingly blending religion and geopolitics, promoting a narrative that frames modern political conflicts as biblical mandates. In particular, the push toward confrontation with Iran is often justified through appeals to Christian language and support for modern Israel. At the same time, the world is being divided into two opposing camps: those who believe modern Israel represents biblical prophecy, and those who believe Israel exerts political influence over Western governments. Yet both narratives miss the central prophetic reality: It's always Rome. In this episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky Bible look at the second church of the seven churches of Revelation, Smyrna. The lessons from this church points to what will happen in the future and to the true historical power behind the persecution of God’s people: the Papal system, described in Scripture as the “little horn”, the “mother of harlots”, and the system headed by the “man of sin”. The Bible warns that false religious powers will appear outwardly Christian while denying the true power of godliness. 2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV) “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” Matthew 7:15 (KJV) “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” This prophetic system does not stand alone. Revelation reveals that the daughters of the mother, apostate forms of Protestantism, will follow the same pattern, professing Christ while departing from His Word. At the same time, the United States itself is beginning to fulfill the prophetic warning of Revelation 13, speaking “as a dragon” while claiming Christian authority. Increasingly we see political leaders invoking Scripture while promoting policies rooted in power, coercion, and conflict. Revelation 13:11 (KJV) “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.” Ellen White warned that the final step in this process would come when religion uses the power of the state: "When the Protestant churches shall unite with the secular power to sustain a false religion, for opposing which their ancestors endured the fiercest persecution: when the state shall use its power to enforce the decrees and sustain the institutions of the church,—then will Protestant America have formed an image to the Papacy, and there will be a national apostasy which will end only in national ruin." ST March 22, 1910, par. 9 The message of Smyrna reminds us that persecution is not accidental, it is the predictable result when religious power joins with political authority. But Christ’s promise still stands for those who remain faithful. “...be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” (Rev 2:10) #BibleProphecy #EndTimeProphecy #LastDays #ProphecyUpdate #EndTimes #SecondComing #PropheticWarning #ImageOfTheBeast #MarkOfTheBeast #ChurchAndState #ReligiousFreedom #WorldEvents #TruthProject #TruthProjectMinistries #BibleStudy -- Make sure to also check out and support Brother Andrew Bikichky's personal ministry at: https://sanctuarydoorministry.com NEW DONATION INFORMATION US DONORS CAN NOW RECEIVE TAX RECEIPTS FOR 2026 WHEN USING THE NEW DONATION LINKS BELOW - IF YOU USE ZELLE PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL IN THE MESSAGE OR WE CAN NOT PROVIDE TAX RECEIPTS: Questions about donations?
