well welcome to marking in the end times I'm Mark Hitchcock and on today's program I want to focus on the prophetic implications of the inauguration of President Trump and many of his actions on his first two days in office and what we're witnessing right now we could call Trump 2.0 and and there is a blizzard of activity right now that's taking place uh in in the white house now president Trump spent the his first day uh getting writers cramp probably by signing 200 executive orders I mean it's been non-stop exec action what I want to
do on today's program is focus on three massive developments on the first two days of his pre presidency that I believe are three key issues for the unfolding of the biblical end time scenario let me just give you a preview of what these three things are they Israel and peace and artificial intelligence those are the three things I want to focus on this is some incredible stuff now before we get to this let me give a preview that we we'll go to the subscriber only section and in a few moments we'll pivot to that let
me give a brief preview of what we're going to do in that segment today um on the on uh marking in times every about every other week we're we're having an exposition of the Book of Revelation we're just going through the entire book and today we're going to continue that and we're going to be in Revelation 5: 1 to 7 and this chapter my it's my favorite chapter in the book of Revelation and this chapter is the setup really or the prelude for the rest of the Book of Revelation so everything in Revelation flows out
of chapter 5 and so you have to understand this chapter for the rest of the book to really make sense so it's a stunning scene of God's Heavenly Throne Jesus coming up to the throne where the father is seated to receive a seven sealed scroll and that scroll is the prophetic key to everything that follows so we want to talk about that scroll and about our savior in Revelation uh chapter 5 so we we we'll pivot to that here in a little bit in the subscriber only section well the Trump presidency has gotten off to
a fast start and that's probably not been a surprise to any of us but two days packed with prophetic foreshadows there's three main ones that I want to draw our attention to again the first is Israel there are several major events related to Israel um one of the things is that that at the uh at a post inauguration rally in Washington several relatives of Israeli hostages held by Hamas and Gaza were present there and one former captive they were invited on stage with with President Trump and I thought that's significant just showing his solidarity with
Israel and with the the hostages that were taken there in Gaza and this was a tangible evidence I think of President Trump's support and concern for Israel right out of the gate in his presidency we all know that that President Trump issued some really serious threats against Hamas before he came into office and some hostages are beginning to be released and so his presidency I think is already beginning to have a dram dramatic effect and impact on the Middle East um another thing though related to Israel is an executive order with with a stroke of
the pen on the very first day of his presidency president Trump revoked executive order 14115 which had sanctioned certain Israeli settlers in the West Bank this is a huge move in support of Israel and its control over the land promised to the Jewish people in God's word now in a closely related story there's a headline that says Trump's Ambassador piic says Israel has biblical right to the West Bank this a interesting story at her confirmation hearing Elise stefanic pledged to continue the US's defense of Israel and Advance president Trump's America First agenda um and and
in that she said and in her confirmation hearing she said that the Jewish people have a Biblical right to the West Bank and again that stunned many of the people there that she would come right out and say that but this view is also held by the new ambassador the Israel Mike Huckabee calls the West Bank by its Biblical name which is Judea and Samaria and I love all of this because you know that the promise God gave to Abraham back in Genesis 12 and his descendants has never been revoked that God will bless those
who bless Abraham and his descendants and God will curse those um who curse him and so this is a blessing to our country that that President Trump and Elise stonic and Mike Huckabee and many others in his administration Marco Rubio or very very uh pro-israel and proactive in their support of Israel and biblical really in their support for Israel um the numerous other outlets are reporting that that President Trump is going to lift the Paw on 2,000 bomb Supply to Israel 2,000 pound bombs the New York Post has a headline that says Israel expects Trump
to reverse Biden's hold on 2,000lb Bunker Buster bombs so you know the Biden Administration claimed they weren't holding holding up any arms supplies to Israel but evidently these 2,000lb bunker Buster bombs were being withheld the article in the New York Post says the bombs are considered widely destructive although they would not be enough to damage Iran's nuclear capabilities experts have said now I don't know if that's true or not if you drop enough of them in one place they may be able to to be useful in that but in any event this is just another
um activity of support for Israel of the of lifting a pause on these two ,000 PB bombs for for Israel so I I just I think to kind of summarize all this President Trump couldn't have demonstrated his support for Israel more profoundly on his first and second day in office than these things than than through these actions he's taken now another key issue though another key activity is is on the whole front of Peace uh the Jerusalem Post has a headline that says Donald Trump said I want to be remembered as a man of Peace
that's what he he said as he was sworn in his inauguration uh during his inauguration speech the newly sworn in president addressed the hostage deal and saying this he said I want to be remembered as a man of Peace another one of his quotes is I want to be a peacemaker and stop all wars um he made the statement he wants peace through strength um one of the articles I read said that the landmark achievement of the first Trump Administration was President Trump's ability to successfully broker peace treaty between Israel and the Arab countries of
the UAE that's the United Arab Emirates Bahrain Sudan and Morocco now a lot of people believe that the October 7th Hamas attack against Israel part of the timing of that was to sabotage and derail any hope of Saudi Arabia joining the the Abraham Accords but that could be changing soon uh president Trump has said that he believes that Saudi Arabia will normalize relations with Israel soon joining the Abraham Accords that was be huge for the middle easterly in the the entire world I mean it's been called in the last few years that would be the
deal of the century now on another front president Trump is also working for peace Politico has a headline that says desperate for peace Ukraine Embraces Trump the article says this only months ago ke keev was terrified as second Donald Trump presidency would force Ukraine to capitulate to Vladimir Putin today it's pinning its hopes on Trump Trump finally ending 3 years of Carnage so the the ukrainians uh Vladimir Zin zalinski who's their their president there is looking to president Trump to bring peace to that part of the world and of course he's he's promised to do
that so we're seeing a lot of activity in these first two days on on the the Israel front and and on the Peace front and I think these are two things that are kind of giving us a preview of the things he'll be focused on during his presidency but a third key action is related to AI the artificial intelligence president Trump on Monday revoked a 2023 executive order signed by President Biden that sought to reduce the risks that artificial intelligence poses to Consumers workers and National Security so he revoked that executive order so president Trump
is all in on AI which of course is the wave of the future uh CNN has a headline that says Trump announces a 500 billion a $500 billion AI infrastructure investment in the US let me just read what this article says three top Tech firms on Tuesday announced they will create a new company called Stargate to grow artificial intelligence infrastructure in the United States open AI CEO Sam Alman soft Bank CEO masayoshi son and Oracle chairman Larry Ellison appeared at the White House Tuesday afternoon alongside president Trump to announce the company which Trump called the
largest AI infrastructure project in history the companies will invest 100 billion in the project to start with plans to pour in up to 500 billion to Stargate in the coming years the project project is expected to create a 100,000 us jobs Stargate will build the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of AI including data centers around the country Ellison said the group's first the first 1 million squ ft data project is already under construction in Texas this is smart and strategic the US must not only keep up with Nations like China in
this whole AI race but we're have we need to stay ahead this is kind of like that the space race in the 1950s and 60s between the United States and the Soviet Union and the US cannot afford to fall behind in this vital uh technological area um a is related to every area of life it's related to technology to communication to medicine to Warfare to space travel um just this week I heard one of the U one of the the leaders in Congress say that all the future Wars are going to be Cyber Wars and
drone Wars that's what the future of warfare is and AI is essential to all of that and of course AI like the internet is a powerful tool that can be used for good or for evil and sadly we know that ultimately in the hands of the Antichrist it's going to be employed for the worst evil in history but these three key focal points at the beginning of President Trump's presidency Israel peace and AI all three of those things I believe are good they're positive all of those can lead to great good but at the same
time these are three significant stage Setters for the end times these are the issues and the tools that the Antichrist I believe is going to come on the scene someday and hijack for evil now let me emphasize this again Donald Trump's not the Antichrist I've said that several times but I know we keep getting questions about that he's from the wrong place the Antichrist is going to come from the confines of the reunited Roman Empire according to Daniel 9:26 I mean didn't rise from insignificance the Antichrist will be a little horn he'll be an insignificant
person who will suddenly be vaulted to Great significance Donald Trump's been significant all of his all of his adult life and as i' I've said a couple of different times he's not a flattering speaker he's not a flatterer of the smooth flattering speaker that the Antichrist will be according to scripture so he's not the Antichrist but what I'm saying is these issues that the world's focused on right now that he's focused on are going to be the same issues that are going to be present when the Antichrist comes on the scene Israel is Ground Zero
from the end times it's the prophetic Bullseye it's the center of it all and Donald Trump is is doing what he's doing in Israel for good but the Antichrist is going to come on the scene ultimately and turn that to bad into evil U peace the current peace framework in the Abraham Accords could could quickly take shape and ultimately I believe that all of this framework that's being put into place now could easily be co-opted and controlled by the Antichrist for his evil purposes and and when you think about AI I mean the Antichrist is
going to take over stunning sweeping global technology ology beyond what people in the past have ever dreamed to extend his tentacles into every corner of the globe to seize and sustain control over every person on Earth he'll control all Commerce so the tools of world domination are now here so look we need to enjoy I think and appreciate what president Trump is doing on all these fronts that it's necessary and these can produce great good and benefit for our nation and for the world but at the same time we can see the trajectory of all
of this we need to know that a ruler is coming someday who can twist all the momentum in all these areas to suit his evil purposes and he's going to seize it all so these developments we see right before our eyes I think are like flashing lights that our world is well down the road to Armageddon and that the Rapture could be very near well thank you so much for joining us for today's program we appreciate it so much um if you're if you're being helped by uh by these programs I tell others I get
