Celestial had a prophecy about how there’ll be ten kings (or heads of states) ruling over ten geopolitical regions (zones in her words) where they’ll give their allegiance to the Beast, the Beast being Barack Hussein Obama of all people. Many world governments will fail in the near future, so much so that they have to create pan-regional governments to cope with this. To the best of their abilities if they were to get new rulers ruling over vast territories, these geopolitical centres will even have new members. Take China for instance, it’s already on its way to becoming a superpower.
It could regain the countries it has influenced a lot in its sphere, but will come to influence and include other neighbours a lot such as the Philippines and Indonesia. The new Sinosphere, if it does deserve to be called as such, will include more countries that were historically not part of the old Sinosphere. Not just because China will greatly influence its other neighbours, including the Philippines if America ceases to be a superpower, but that if China were to get a new government its ruler wouldn’t just preside over China but also all over the rest of East Asia, including Southeast Asia.
But they themselves will be influenced by the Beast, who promises peace and harmony to the whole world. To the point where everything else seems happy and delightful, but at the expense of a more spiritually fulfilling life. This nearly perfect world will fall apart, so life goes back to its usually unhappy and flawed self again. No matter how charismatic and lovable the Beast is, the peaceful world he created will ultimately self-destruct. Perhaps if such a world falls apart, it would be wiser to turn to God more. He will carry people’s burdens and intercede, he may not answer the way we like.
At least not always, if because he offers something better. I feel this is the problem with escapism in that it’s like doing illicit drugs, always in search of a high but ending up feeling low at any point. So they get addicted because they want to get high again, even if they’ll always come crashing down. God is more like a doctor and the medicines he prescribes are necessary, though not always delicious whether if we like it or not. So he is the great physician like no other, well not to the same extent like he does. So it’s necessary for the Church to be awakened in times like these.
St Hildegard had a prophecy of the evolution of the church in the end times, where she has wounded legs and a deformed nether region representing the Antichrist. She will be healed by the Lord in the end, but in the mean time goes through trials and tribulations as part of her sanctification. The Beast may not be the Antichrist since they’re both separate entities, the latter would make the former look like child’s play. The storm is coming and we have to prepare, heed to God when these happen and confide in him when all else fails.
