The invasion of our Southern border as the Lord of hosts musters an army for invasion.

Isaiah 13:1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

We have seen very compelling evidence that the US is "mystery Babylon the Great" revealed in Revelation 18. We have also seen the Commonwealth games where they depicted themselves rebuilding the tower of Babylon as one world government and one world religion. There is a move on through the UN to create one world government and one world religion and one world currency. On the one hand there are efficiencies that would be had, on the other "absolute power corrupts absolutely".

2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

We talk about "the illuminati" or the FreeMasons, or the Satanists. The reality is this is the overwhelming religion of the rich elites and nobles. Paul said that in the church there were not many who were rich, or noble. We assume they "aren't religious". Actually they understand quite clearly the importance of being in a strong social group. They pay top dollar to belong to country clubs, yacht clubs, golf courses, etc. It is truly stunning how many "satanists" are in high positions, not because of merit but because of their connections with other satanists. These two groups, Christians and Satanists have been growing together like wheat and tares. But when the judgement comes on Babylon the Lord will separate the two one from the other.

3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.

In this verse "sanctified" means "set apart" for this job. It does not refer to the saints of God. If the US were the Great Babylon, who would be "the set apart ones"? Mighty ones to execute God's anger? North Korea is obviously set apart, Cuba perhaps, Venzuela, Iran, Russia. All the countries that the US regularly sanctions. The sanctions of the US have "set them apart".

4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

Look at the southern border of the US and you will see "the noise of a multitude like as a great people". The people coming across the border are from many nations, not simply central and South America. We are finding known terrorists from Afghanistan and the Middle East as well as many Chinese and people from Africa. Everyone complains about Biden letting people in but this is God mustering the host of the battle.

5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

We realize we are under invasion, we can see that the vast majority of people crossing the border appear to be military aged men, and we realize something is really wrong about them being handed cell phones as they cross the border. Here we learn that the purpose is to destroy the whole land. If one person causes problems to the train tracks so that a train derails it can cause problems for a few days. But if a thousand people do this in a coordinated attack the entire rail system will shut down for months. If one person attacks a transformer it can cause a very limited blackout for a few hours. But if you have a thousand people in a coordinated attack it can cause the entire electric grid to collapse. Without electricity or trains gasoline for trucks and cars will run out quickly, within hours. Imagine the chaos in the US if we had nationwide blackouts for two weeks without any supplies reaching the cities. You will have looting, riots, and total chaos in the cities.

6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

This is not simply a human attack.

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: 8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.


This seems that something has caused them to be "amazed", something has caused "man's heart to melt". I think this may also refer to the dead in Christ rising and the rapture. After all D day was much like this where we were preparing to attack in England for months and then prior to the attack we dropped people in behind enemy lines to cut communications, disrupt rail traffic, etc. But no one thought that "the day of the Lord" was at hand.

9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

Many times we wonder why God allows this or that to happen, why He doesn't judge. But this is the reason, He has to separate out the wheat from the chaff first, and then he utterly burns the chaff up with fire. This is why I think the rapture just took place because with the believers gone the Lord can unleash His wrath and fierce anger and destroy the sinners out of it. This reminds me of when I worked at KFC. At the end of the day after closing the doors we would put everything away into the fridge and then we would wash down the place with high pressured hoses. You couldn't do this during the day because the water would splash into the food. In the same way the Lord will remove many from the US and then hose down the whole country.

10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

We have had numerous prophecies that there will be two weeks of "darkness" meaning two weeks of a communications blackout and perhaps blackout of electricity. The Lord also talked about those who are not taken in the rapture being left behind in "outer darkness" where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Some describe 3 days of darkness like in Egypt during the Exodus where demons terrorize the land.

11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

This attack on Babylon "punishes the whole world". If the US were attacked like this it would mean no more imports or exports from the US, that would punish countries like China, Vietnam, India, and many others. It means the US dollar would collapse and that also would punish the whole world. It means countries that rely on the US for their defense will be punished. Israel and Taiwan and NATO will all suffer. It means that piracy on the high seas will greatly increase. It is very possible that the insurance and banking industries collapse and as a result all shipping also grinds to a halt.

12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

We are already seeing this with the woke agenda and the Sodom agenda.

More Pushback on Charles being the Antichrist -- saying we are not seeing the prophesied catastrophe.

So don't talk about the satan worship at the Grammies, or Charles opening the Commonwealth games with worship to Moloch, rebuilding the tower of Babylon and raising the all seeing eye as a serpent on a pole. Don't talk about Ezekiel 38 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

OK, I will tell you a few things, you will think this is a ridiculous fantasy, but it is all true.

They will shut down the entire world's economy because of a really bad Covid virus, basically a really bad cold. However, this will be deadly for several reasons, the medicine that works at making people better will be outlawed and the medicine that makes them worse will be the only one allowed. The standard treatment for people who get real sick is to put them on a ventilator which has a 90% kill rate. But even that will not be enough to get the kill rate high enough to scare people so they will list anyone who dies "with" this disease as having died from it.

But all of this is to make everyone embrace the "cure". They will force everyone to take an experimental vaccine without giving them any access to the research showing how deadly and dangerous it is, despite that violating the Nuremberg laws. The chief spokesman telling everyone to get this vaccine will have a viral video of himself saying just a few years earlier that recovering from a virus is the best vaccine and there is no reason to get vaccinated if you already had the disease, yet now he will tell people they must get the vaccine even if they had the disease and if you question him you are questioning science. (I know this sounds too ridiculous to be true but stay with me, it is about to really get absurd).

Everyone will know that the globalists are trying to take over the US and implement one world government and one world currency like the Bible describes. Yet, even as millions of military aged men cross the border they will wonder "why aren't they doing anything to stop it?" That might sound like a reasonable question but they know the people in power stole the election and work for the globalists. They have the bank records on the President, they know the FBI and other deep state assets helped steal the election, they know these military men coming across are given working cell phones as they enter the country and then shipped to every key access point in the country and yet they continue to think that these millions of people (about 60x the number who hit the beaches in Normandy on D Day) are coming across because the President is incompetent and has dementia.

Now I know you will read this and say this is the most absurd, ridiculous conspiracy theory you ever heard and will say I need to seek help, but there is more.

While all this is going on the prisons will be emptied. We will have people who have been convicted of dozens maybe even 50 felonies loose on the streets assaulting and killing people, that will be the new policy because they aren't criminals, they are victims. Meanwhile the worst, most heinous criminals will be grandmothers and grandfathers who were waved into the Capital building by the police and were taking selfies. Parents who go to school board meetings and complain about the schools letting boys into the girls bathroom who then rape their daughters or how the school peddles pornography or how transvestites are running story hour for small children and convincing them to also become transvestites, how these parents are "domestic terrorists".

But it gets worse. The same people who refused to spend $4 billion to help secure the southern border of the US send over $100 billion to Ukraine to help them secure their border. We send weapons to fight a proxy war with Russia and this involves a direct attack on the Kremlin trying to assassinate Putin and it includes depleted Uranium which gets blown up and becomes a dirty bomb. So we now have Russia, the US and the UK fighting a nuclear war. As long as Russia and Ukraine can let bygones be bygone this will not escalate into something bigger, but if they can't do that we will see what the prophets have been warning us about since the time of Ezekiel.

But all that you know about, the part that you will think is ridiculous fantasy is that people will continue to go about their business, buying and selling, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day the bombs rain down like the prophets said. It will be like the days of Sodom, and like those days some will be warned and will flee the city before the fire falls. It will also be like the days of Noah and like those days people will have been warned but will have ignored those warnings.

I was reading Isaiah 13 and 14 yesterday, a prophecy concerning Babylon. It was fulfilled completely as he said. What I was amazed at was he spoke this prophecy 100 years before it even began to be fulfilled and when Babylon wasn't even the major superpower of the day. For it to be fully fulfilled with no one any longer inhabiting Babylon took several hundred years, maybe even 400 years after Isaiah.

A little while ago I got a video of someone saying that Dana Coverstone was a false prophet because it had not been fulfilled. Yet that video was a year old and when I watched it you could see everything that he said hadn't been fulfilled coming to pass. We still do not see the US looking like the Great Depression, but I don't see anyone claiming that is a false prophecy anymore.

The man who made that video will have a very hard time when he stands before the Lord if he is wrong.

"I also will laugh at your calamity"

Isaiah 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

Therefore refers to "I will punish the world for their evil and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible". This arrogancy, haughtiness and wicked way has provoked the anger and wrath of the Lord.

14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.

It will be the "hunger games". You will be hunted. Consider what Proverbs 1 says:

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

God calls, God stretches out His hand, instead people ignore Him, set at nought all His counsel and reject His reproof. So this is not a horror film, this is not fiction, your fear will come as desolation and your destruction as a tornado. God will laugh when your calamity comes. He will mock when your fear comes. You will be in distress and anguish, but you will also have a chance to repent of your foolish and evil ways.

15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

They will find you hiding and kill you. If you join a band of people to fight back you will be killed by the sword.

16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.


People ignore God's warnings thinking they need to care for their children or their house or their wife. God cares more for them than you do and His warning was how you could save them.

17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.


The rich always think they can buy their way out of trouble, not going to happen.

18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.


As you have done it will be done unto you. When we dig into some of the sins and iniquity these ones had no pity and did not spare children.

19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.


Cinders and ash.

20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.


This is called "winning the divorce". These ones mocked and ridiculed God, OK, for all eternity you will suffer the shame from that error. This prophecy has been fulfilled, so you know the future application to the Great Babylon will also be fulfilled. Jesus told us it would be as the days of Lot, and the book of Revelation revealed that the destruction of Babylon will be in an hour, just as it was with Sodom and Gomorrah.

21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. 22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

Antichrist the personification of Lucifer

Isaiah 14:1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

In the previous chapter the Lord's anger and wrath is poured out on those who mocked and ridiculed the Lord to clear the land of them. But the purpose is because God will have mercy on Jacob. This is the Lord gathering up the tares to be burned and gathering the wheat to his barn.

2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

We are seeing this today, the Jews, Jacob, were oppressed, brought to their land, and now they rule. Israel is turning into a beautiful testimony to the whole world.

3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, 4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

Let's answer that question, how has he ceased? The Pandemic and vaccine mandate was oppressive, the banking system was oppressive, the industrial military complex was oppressive. How has it ceased? This is what the last seven years does, it makes all this oppression cease and it makes all those who saw the oppression be warned going forward.

5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

Satan will be cast down along with all the other wicked rulers.

6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

This is like the movie Django where there freed slave goes back and deals with all his oppressors.

7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. 8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

What a day of rejoicing that will be!

9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

We are talking about Satan, Lucifer, and his minions like the AntiChrist and the false prophet.

11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

Think of the word pomp, what do you envision? The coronation of King Charles, his wedding to Diana? No one epitomizes pomp like the British royal family.

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

How does he weaken the nations? He lies, he steals and he murders.

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

This is what the FreeMasons and Satanists say. They will exalt their throne by lying, stealing and murdering. BTW King Charles is a 33rd degree FreeMason, that is a world leader of this cult.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

Did the Bible personify Lucifer, or are they saying a man was possessed by Lucifer. I believe this must, at least in part, refer to the AntiChrist and they are likening him to the king of Babylon, the golden head of Nebuchadnezzars statue, the leader of one world government and one world religion.

Jesus vs Barabbas

. Not only so but the globalists are pushing a transgender movement where they can castrate children without the parents knowledge and the Evangelicals are standing against that as well.
If a child is castrated at birth, thats not being transgender...that would make the child transexual. Transgender is a person who does not identify themselves as a person of the sex they were born as. Transgenders can become transexual if they have surgery to become of the sex they prefer.

A child who is castrated, a baby, doesnt even have any idea of anything. Therefore a baby who gets castrated cannot be transgender but that baby would be a transexual. Children age 3 or so may be transgender.

I dont think God would punish a person who was castrated as a babu for being a transexual.

When the parasites kill the host they kill themselves

Isaiah 14:18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.


God is disgusted with these ones. They will be treated with total disrespect.

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

Anyone who is confused by what is happening in the US, it is right here, they are destroying their land and killing their people. This is the sure word of God. People can't believe the vaccine or the pandemic could be a plandemic, but it is right here. This is what traitors do, this is what sell outs do. Shutting down pipelines, throwing open the border, emptying the prisons, and all the stupid climate change initiatives are all about destroying the land.

21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 22 For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord.

People have been told to "brace", they have been told to prepare. Have they? The best way to slaughter people in a city is not to use your soldiers, cut off the food and electricity and let the looters and gangs kill each other. When things get bad they will go to the rich neighborhoods to loot. Especially gated communities, you think those guards won't assist the looters? That is their family.

23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.


The Lord tells us this again and again, the death and destruction is like a broom sweeping the land.

24 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: 25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

Obama is an example of the Assyrian. King Charles would be an example of the golden head of the Babylonian king. They are like parasites. When the parasite kills the host it also kills itself.

26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. 27 For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

This is like a train roaring down the tracks. You aren't going to argue with it, you aren't going to stand in front with your hand saying stop. Either you get out of the way or you get run over.

28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden. 29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. 30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant. 31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. 32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

People rejoiced when Biden "won" in 2020, but the Lord is making it clear, a whole host of serpents to destroy this country had just been hatched. So he describes Lucifer as being the king of Babylon, he describes "the Assyrian" as the sting of the whip on the people, and he describes "Palestina" as the halfway people. All those who were bothered by mean tweets, "can't we all just get along", the ones who think it is the Evangelists that are causing the trouble. They claim to be Christians but justify abortion.

Prophecies of the end of the Age

8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

Prior to the "Fig Tree" generation, the generation born since Israel was replanted in the good land this was impossible. Perhaps when the whole world had TV's this was possible, but the first time I ever saw this happen was in the 1st Gulf War with CNN. We in the West were able to see the bombs dropping live from around the world.

However, not everyone in the whole world of all people, kindreds, tongues and nations were able to get CNN.

But this isn't really a description of TV, it seems from the verses that everyone on earth can see the dead bodies from all over the world at any time over 3 1/2 days. You wouldn't expect that on the TV but you could have a live stream camera playing on the internet. Youtube began in 2005, but it really took off as a result of the worldwide pandemic. Many people who prior to that did not use Youtube either used it for the first time or increased their usage. Also, cities and countries spent more on improving the transmission of the youtube signals because of the shutdowns to schools.

Also, 3 1/2 days later the bodies come back to life and ascend to heaven and the whole earth sees it. You would not have a TV film crew camped out for 3 1/2 days filming a dead body. This is a camera set up that is live streamed to the internet that everyone can see. There may be tourists streaming by the bodies with their smart phones. Yes, we have had the technology to do this for about 20 years, at least for the last 15 years. But you wouldn't have the whole world watching until very recently, perhaps the last two years.

No one but God

21 “Present your case [for idols made by men’s hands],” says the Lord. “Produce your evidence [of divinity],” Says the king of Jacob. 22 Let them bring forward [their evidence] and tell us what is going to happen. Regarding the former events, tell what they were, That we may consider them and know their outcome; Or announce to us the things that are going to come. 23 Tell us the things that are to come afterward, That we may know that you are gods; Indeed, you should do something good or do evil, that we may be afraid and fear [you] together [as we observe the miracle]. 24 Hear this! You [idols] are less than nothing, And your work is worthless; The worshiper who chooses you [as a god] is repulsive.

There is no one other than God who could tell us two thousand years ago what King Charles Heraldic Achievement would look like. No one but God that could tell us about the winged statue calling Charles "the savior of the world" and depicting him as a statue of Zeus, a statue designed to go into the Jewish temple that is about to be built.

Telling us who the Antichrist is before the fact is evidence of God giving us the full assurance that God not only knows what is going to happen but even more giving us the assurance that His plan of salvation is what we can put our trust in.

There is none like God who announces the end from the beginning

Isaiah 46:9 “Remember [carefully] the former things [which I did] from ages past;
For I am God, and there is no one else;
I am God, and there is no one like Me,
10 Declaring the end and the result from the beginning,
And from ancient times the things which have not [yet] been done,
Saying, ‘My purpose will be established,
And I will do all that pleases Me and fulfills My purpose,’
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east,
From a far country, the man (Cyrus) of My purpose.
Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass.

I have planned it, be assured I will do it.

Prophecies being fulfilled should strengthen our faith that God will do all the things He has said He will do. The Jews returning to Israel seemed impossible until it happened. The whole world seeing two people lie dead in the streets of Jerusalem seemed impossible for thousands of years. The description of the Antichrist seemed impossible till we saw the heraldic achievement of Prince Charles, now king Charles.

Oh the Irony

Isaiah 48:3 “I have declared the former things [which happened to Israel] in times past; They went forth from My mouth and I proclaimed them;
Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.
4 “Because I know that you are obstinate,
And your neck is an iron tendon
And your brow is bronze [both unyielding],
5 I have declared them to you long ago;
Before they came to pass I announced them to you,
So that you could not say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my carved image and my cast image have commanded them.’
6 “You have heard [these things foretold]; look at all this [that has been fulfilled].
And you, will you not declare it?
I proclaim to you [specific] new things from this time,

Even hidden things which you have not known.

John 16:13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future].

The first goal and operation of the prophet is to speak forth the truth and that word will be a guide to you. This would be like the word "brace yourself" in the Dana Coverstone dreams. Those dreams began in January of 2020 giving us a heads up of the coming Pandemic, the lies, the deceit, etc. They also became a guide for us in what we should do (rescue people from the world, put on the full armor of God to stand against Satan, etc).

The prophets are also going to disclose what is to come. It is pointless to know that you will be tested on such and such date without first guiding you into all the truth you need to know for the test.

The point is that for the last two thousand years disclosing what is to come concerning the Antichrist was not a priority. Daniel said as much when he was told to "seal up the vision for the last days". That tells you that when we need these things disclosed the Lord will unseal them. The fact that the Lord is unsealing the identity of the Antichrist now is very significant because now we need to know.

He also says that the NT prophets will not speak of their own initiative or authority. When you speak the word of God (the Bible) you are not speaking of your own authority but you are sharing whatever you hear from the Lord (the apostles fellowship).
