End of America as we know it

Since there are people who say that the United States is Mystery Babylon, the nation-state said to corrupt the world with its abominations, only to be destroyed later on that when coupled with prophecies of a serious economic collapse (wherein it’s enabled by serious hyperinflation) and the death of Donald Trump, with the possibility of a president who could be America’s very own Adolf Hitler when it starts becoming Nazi itself, that it seems America as a nation-state is really coming to an end. Even enacting its own holocaust one day that it seems to be on its way to becoming the third reich that Adolf Hitler himself wanted Germany to be, but one where it gets given over to its enemies after getting defeated and then disappearing into the waters forever. One of the things that could rub a lot of salt in a newly wounded (and newly totalitarian) America is if/when the Philippines becomes a socialist nation itself, though it could be said that the Philippines might also become totalitarian itself in this way.

Admittedly this is what I’ve been praying for (and interceding for others to cope with this as well), but if the Philippines does become socialist in the wake of an American collapse, it should be noted that anti-imperialism is a core component of socialist thought. So a newly socialist Philippines would turn against a newly collapsing America for colonising it, going so far to conspire with its neighbours to fight this ailing nation-state. But Celestial also had a prophecy of other countries turning against America, so a newly socialist Philippines retaliating against America would be no different and may play into the prophecy itself in some way. Likewise the Soviet Union (a socialist supranational union by the way) was a staunch enemy of Nazi Germany, so this is a case of the past repeating itself but between former colony (the Philippines) and former coloniser (America), clearly nothing will be new under the sun in here. One might wonder if Canada, another fomrer US ally, would play the role of France here.

France got attacked by Germany and historically shared some traits together, this is no different from a newly totalitarian America attacking Canada and both of them share borders, culture and history of being British subjects before. It’s true America isn’t exactly like Germany where arguably one unnoticed difference between the two is that Germany’s a good deal more apphrensive around dogs in a way America isn’t, which is why there’s often the recurring dual evils of dog poisoning and dogs getting shot by hunters in the latter. But America doesn’t just contain a substantial German diaspora, it also has a number of the original Nazis who assimilated into America society due to something like Operation Paperclip to compete with the Soviet Union. One would wonder if America might end up hosting a form of Neo-Nazism that has significantly more political and governmental clout than regular old Neo-Nazism does in Europe, one that does a frighteningly good job at eliminating a lot of its undesirable folks. Something European Neo-Nazism has been unable to do.

An even grimmer plausibility is that American companies like Microsoft, Apple, possibly Alphabet/Google, Amazon and the like might host their own armies to kill Christians with, where FEMA might set up concentration camps to kill undesirable people with (though this would be found out soon enough by the Russian government). It would be even more shocking if something like Disney were to do the exact same things, turning the US theme parks into concentration camps to discretely kill Christians with. But then again its namesake founder made a deal with the Devil and was likely involved in a secret society enough to give us clues to what he did, who he consecrated the Disney films to and which one he’s actually more aligned with. If Russia gets wind of this after colonising America, it might conspire with Brazil to shut down Disney and take over the remaining assets. Both the core Disney characters (Mickey and Friends) and Radio Disney would be handed over to Globo, so Globo would end up publishing Disney comics and rebrand the latter as Radio Jovem from then on.

One might wonder what would become of the Disney Princess and Marvel brands by then, but I maintained this train of thought before that X-Men’s really no better than Harry Potter. Mind you writers like Chris Claremont have the audacity to demonise Protestant preachers, promote demonic characters as likable heroes, and even make rebellion against authority look cool. Not to mention Marvel itself is no stranger to other sympathetic demonic characters like Damian Hellstrom (Son of Satan), Satana and Daredevil, it’s kind of strange why almost no Christian objected to these characters. I guess if Russia were to make Brazil hand over the remaining Disney assets and library, only a fraction of the Marvel canon would remain. Globo could reprint and translate some of the Christian comics Marvel did at some point, though unfortunately that will be all there is to them. So unfortunately a substantial chunk of the Marvel canon will be wiped out and lost to time forever, or for another matter the rest of the Disney canon as well.

Celestial even said that somebody at Disney may’ve molested both Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. I remember reading somewhere else where a former Disney actor admitted there was a Disney executive who molested his female colleagues, given Celestial also talked about certain managers molesting boy band members during some kind of occult ritual, that it’s likely this kind of occult practise is rampant in Disney and many Hollywood studios too, that this is likely a reason why much of the Disney canon would be wiped out forever. Nakita said that something similar also happens in the K-Pop industry, so there is an odd possibility that the entire boy band canon would be wiped out as well. That might explain why a good number of boy band fans are ridiculously obsessive and given over to writing pornographic stories about their favourite members, in a way that escapes both Ace of Base and Aqua (both of them were the Backstreet Boys’ contemporaries in the 1990s) to some extent.

They aren’t any better but there’s something about boy bands like Backstreet Boys that has come to peeve me regarding their fans, where I had this dream of somebody I knew becoming really obsessive over them that I feel there might be something wrong about the whole boy band thing that others are unable to properly articulate. When it comes to singers like Sarah Geronimo and Mina Mazzini, you could only merely sing and not write your own songs much, yet never come off as ridiculously manufactured to the extent of having a persona given to you. When it comes to boy bands, a persona’s given to each member to live up to. Regardless of who they were before, that even Burk Parsons felt the whole purpose of creating a boy band is to induce lust in people (that might explain my own struggles with this sin among others). Boy bands seem to have this weird dual purpose air where they’re supposed to be wholesome enough for parents to accept, yet unwholesome enough to be lusted by their fans.

It’s like this with the Backstreet Boys where they never seem to sing misogynistic or discriminatory songs the way Aqua did at some point or Ulf Ekberg when it comes to playing for a white supremacist band when he was younger, but ironically also have this video where they got sexualised (it’s called ‘Quit Playing Games’). Although Ace of Base members aren’t any less wholesome in person, mind you they have sworn in some interviews. But their own body of work (music videos and songs) are mostly wholesome, where this one called Lucky Love seems to be everything Lou Pearlman made the Backstreet Boys strive to be, but without trying this hard. Aqua seems unapologetic about a few of their songs being kind of obscene, but the Backstreet Boys have this odd dualistic quality of having to be wholesome enough to be accepted by parents. Yet they have to be lustful enough to seduce young girls with, leading to a really sexualised fandom environment and said members having affairs with their fans.

To the point where it might as well drop all pretensions of being wholesome. Justin Timberlake kind of did with his first two albums when he became a solo musician, or for another matter his British predecessor Robbie Williams. His own band Take That once appeared in a video where they’re naked but also smeared with jelly as to get banned on telly, well what’s the point of trying to be both wholesome and lustful when you can’t consistently commit to either one of them. If America is Mystery Babylon with a deeply duplicitous character alternating between piety and reprobation, then the Backstreet Boys is a microcosm of this culture alternating between outright raunch and twee wholesomeness. There’s also no mistaking that America didn’t just pioneer the doo-wop music genre, but also its more sexualised permutation as the boy band genre starting with New Kids On The Block. Backstreet Boys was formed as a confluence of both New Kids On The Block and Chippendale Dancers, the latter being raunchy to the point where one day BSB might also drop all pretenses of being wholesome and all hell breaks loose onstage.

Timberlake was kind of ahead of BSB in this sense given the likes of the Jonas Brothers weren’t widely famous yet, so the Backstreet Boys might eventually release an entirely explicit album around the time two of them will be publicly outed for having affairs with their fans, but there’s really no point in passing off potential wank material as wholesome materials to fool parents with. Large swathes of the American mass culture canon is like this, they appear to be wholesome and twee, yet lustful enough to be kind of pervy on some level. There’s a book called Disney and the Bible that talked about this, regarding some female characters having rather sexualised character designs despite starring in rather ostensibly wholesome children’s stories. Sort of like how Tinkerbell is also a fairy in the original book, but her cartoon permutation seems oddly reminiscent of pinup actress Betty Grable. One would argue that Disney’s Snow White resembles another Hollywood temptress named Louise Brooks, but it is an odd decision on part of the character designers.

It’s odder still why nobody there at the time turned her into a dark-haired version of Mary Pickford, the original America’s Sweetheart, despite being a Canadian national herself. So there’s something retrospectively odd about Disney character designers making their version of Snow White vaguely resemble Louise Brooks (bobbed dark hair), though at present Louise Brooks is kind of nearly-forgotten. Maybe not entirely nearly forgotten but knowing about her (and her reputation) recontextualises Snow White in an unexpected way, one that makes Disney’s sometimes salacious inner nature even more obvious. That’s not to say it’s wrong to like Disney or even the Backstreet Boys, but given America’s status as Mystery Babylon that if the latter’s intended to induce lust in unsuspecting people or if the former’s no stranger to hiring paedophiles and other perverts, this would inevitably lead to a rather sexualised environment this way. One that might be more disingenuously as it’s deceiving, since they also have the pretense of wholesomeness.

(The wholesomeness of a number of Soyuzmultfilm productions and the wholesomeness of most AOB songs seem more genuine/sincere/earnest by comparison.)

Even if Ace of Base do have their unwholesome moments (see the number of times they were caught dead swearing in some interviews), but the Backstreet Boys as a whole is purposefully designed to be both wholesome enough to win over parents. Yet also unwholesome enough to induce lust in young lasses enough to get a good number of them writing pornographic stories about BSB in some way or another, reflecting America’s double-minded character. I always have the belief that the US is a double-minded country on the verge of instability, so internally divided it’s going to collapse any time soon. Its doublemindedness is strongly reflected in its cultural exports, where it exports both edifying materials and outright spiritual rubbish, which indicates its inherently duplicitous character. Bands like the Backstreet Boys is symptomatic of America’s duplicity, putting on a facade of wholesomeness only to make others stumble a lot. America is a deeply duplicitous country, housing both prominent ministries and prominent anti-Christian industries.

Oddly enough this may even occur in the same place, since CRU (a Christian organisation) is also in the same state as Hollywood is. It does seem odd to say Backstreet Boys is a band symptomatic of America’s duplicity in a way Ace of Base isn’t towards Sweden’s cultural and spiritual character, or for another matter Aqua isn’t towards Denmark’s own. Though it’s true both Denmark and Sweden still have devout Christian communities enough to supply them with online devotionals and lectionaries to rely on, but being middle powers at present they’re going to be more limited in scale with what they do with their ability to influence people the way America does. Maybe usually at most but it’s still very telling that neither Denmark nor Sweden have their own equivalents to Disney and Warner Bros beyond housing localised versions of their products, given a lot of Swedes and Danes know who Donald Duck. But not a lot of Americans know who Rasmus Klump and Bamse are, both of them being cartoon bears at that. A number of Americans know Aqua and Ace of Base exist, but it’s still unlikely for most Americans to have heard of Lill-Babs. (I first heard her on Finnish radio.)

Mind you she sang a reworked cover of Lesley Gore’s ‘It’s My Party’ and it’s just as catchy, it’s just as unlikely for many American listeners to have heard of other Danish and Swedish musicians in her time when she was younger. It’s also rare for Americans to have encountered earlier Danish cartoon takes on Norse mythology, most notably Valhalla featuring a red-haired Thor who resurrects his goats after killing them. So both Denmark and Sweden don’t yield as much immense cultural influence all over the world the way America does, that only a handful of their cultural exports enjoy this much international renown and popularity. Between the two cartoon takes on Thor, which one’s better known to most Filipinos? Certainly not Denmark’s very own Valhalla despite being closer to Thor’s Norse myth origins, whereas Marvel’s own version is so loosely based on Norse myth that he’s effectively a separate character altogether. But with these two countries also turning against America, then it’s inevitable American influence will be undone.

Returning to the earlier instance of comparing a newly socialist Philippines to the former Soviet Union and Canada to France, with America being their Germany in that it’s going to become the Philippines’ biggest ideological enemy and it already is Canada’s enemy. A socialist Philippines wouldn’t be any better in some regards, but it would come to see America as its worst enemy and moreso when it becomes a mirror of Nazi Germany (or more disturbingly, an update of Nazi Germany). Since anti-imperialism is a major component of socialism that a newly socialist Philippines would see a newly Nazi America as everything wrong with colonialism and imperialism, a newly socialist Philippines would even see a newly Nazi America as the ultimate extreme right country. But even then America’s got a substantial right wing base that pivoting to the extreme right wouldn’t be a stretch (and may already be a thing to an extent if you believe some people), if anything a nationwide pivot to the extreme right would reach its logical peak by then. It should be noted that Cameroon was a former German colony, then its coloniser became a fascist regime in WWII.

The Philippines would be no different but with the added pivot to socialism (if it does become socialist at all), effectively cutting off ties to America for good and becoming another one of its worst enemies. So a newly Nazi America would be left with little else (perhaps nothing else but itself) now that its own allies (Canada and the Philippines) have become this staunch about opposing it at all, the transition to becoming the ultimate totalitarian nation-state would be a very Kafkasque transformation. Or perhaps the signs of a more strongly fascist America were already there before, but this would intensify once America actually becomes fascist at all. If Donald Trump does get killed only to be succeeded by JD Vance, when coupled with prophecies of America becoming fascistic that Mr Vance could become the American counterpart to Adolf Hitler. When it comes to the tradwife phenomenon, this often refers to women who purposefully adopt an old-fashioned, hyperfeminine lifestyle and persona that often has right wing elements to it, that it would in fact become hegemonic if America does become Nazi at all.

But it’s also a logical endpoint of the culture wars in America, which also exemplify typical American duplicity, given you have a good number of Americans who wage war on feminism and anti-racism that it’s inevitable a civil war will occur as prophesised. If one can’t serve God and Mammon at once, then inevitably America would have to pick a side. It might actually stick to a certain side but one that pivots it towards true totalitarianism, this might even happen in a few years from now or even several months from now. It still wouldn’t be an automatic change but it really is going to reshape American life and culture so drastically, that it pretty much upends what it stood for (well for some people). Even if some pockets of America resemble the America we know at present, they are likely to be exceptions to the rule at most. And even then there’s still something about Satan being behind a number of US celebrities and government officials that makes one wonder why they even have these fans to begin with.

This isn’t unique to the United States in some way as it can also be found in Denmark, United Kingdom and Sweden, it’s likely there have been some instances where a band like Ace of Base played with certain sins before, so it’s clear they weren’t above doing these things at some point. But it would be pretty shocking if there’s any leaked materials concerning the Backstreet Boys all having been molested by Lou Pearlman at some point, that it does make one wonder just how sexualised they really got at times. And even if they didn’t get molested, Pearlman would still be inappropriate to them in other ways. Nakita said that this kind of molestation can also be found in other countries’ music industries, though it does beg the question if other boy bands (if not all other boy bands so far) have been molested by their managers behind the scenes. The thing about boy bands is that they’re often engineered by a Svengali to endear to both parents and arouse young women, creating a curious environment that facilitates such obsessions that certainly there’s something about boy bands that others don’t readily articulate.

And if these managers were involved in the occult themselves, this might explain certain things but so far only Boyzone’s Shane Lynch said this actually is the case, he even admitted he was into the occult himself at some point. (For some reason, fellow Christian Brian Littrell never seemed upfront about this, those in Ace of Base like Jenny Berggren might open up to doing something similar before.) Though there are going to be other musicians who might turn to God one day, since I have dreams of another band I was into (and also into the occult before) called the Prodigy attending some church twice, including one where the members got baptisted in a pool. It’s logical that the other Ace of Base members (whom Jenny likely often prays for) might turn to God eventually, wherein they might attend the same church as she does, read the same holy literatures as she does and listen to the same sermons as she does. Or the Aqua and Everything But The Girl members just the same. But America is still very peculiar in that it has much of the world’s most influential ministries, yet also houses or popularises filth.

Out of the same country come blessings and cursings, what a contradictory country to be in. I even said before that the Backstreet Boys as an institution is America’s character in miniature, perfectly embodying America’s contradictory spirit. Wholesome enough to win over parents, sexualised enough to induce lust in people. This is kind of different from Ace of Base having unwholesome moments from time to time and even admitted to doing this before, this is different from Aqua having no pretensions about what they do or have done before. Note I mostly compare the Backstreet Boys to Ace and Base and Aqua since it’s a very fair comparison at that, but what is particular to BSB is the double-dealing nature of the way they ended up as. One could compare America to Iran where Iran has practically no pretensions about its general stance against Christianity, save for certain pockets if this website’s any indication, but America is the Christian majority country that both takes pride in its Christian heritage and deliberately undermines the same.

I even said that the Philippines is also a duplicitous country for the same reason, to be given over to its enemy for its own sins but it will be permanent this time. Many preachers have talked about how and why the Philippines often acts so contrary to what it proclaims itself to be, where I feel in the future the Philippines will end up like other Asian countries in most regards. Wherein nearly all western influence is permanently revoked here, since it’s already pointless for the Philippines to call itself Christian yet celebrate and condone so much wickedness on its own soil. Both countries might end up as the very things they strove not to be, albeit one where the Philippines will become socialist and America will become fascistic. But this is also the case where they become worst enemies to one another, a deeply socialist Philippines will retaliate against a deeply fascistic America over many things. America would become truly isolated then, AI or not, where practically no country wants to be with it anymore when it becomes super-fascistic at all.

America might disappear into the waters forever and even if not all of it’s lost, the remaining lands would be given over to other countries instead. States like Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Vermont might be given over to Canada as presents from Russia, just as Mexico might take back California, Wyoming and New Mexico, so this is another way America disappears from the map. There’s actually a book called How To Hide An Empire where the author posits a Greater America where both America itelf and the Philippines are included together, but given that both of these same countries will be given over to their enemies that the future would look very different. After getting defeated, America becomes an extension of Russia itself before disappearing, The Philippines on the other hand joins Greater China to spite the United States for not saving it in time, in addition to a formenting socialist movement after the president’s demise or something, that it would be so drastically changed it’s practically and largely unrecognisable from itself at present–essentially and practically a lot more like it neighbours since there’s no use in calling itself Christian when it’s just lip service.

America might even witness its other territories be given over to other countries in a way, where Hawaii also joins China but as an independent country seeking more sovereignty and agency. Puerto Rico secedes from America when America crashes real badly, same goes for the Virgin Islands where both of them join a growing Caribbean-Latin American bloc as lead by Mexico and Brazil. The dollar would be replaced by either a petroruble in Europe and Canada due to Russian influence or petroyuan in the Philippines, but American influence will be revoked anyways whether culturally, economically, politically or what else, if not entirely spiritually (as Pentecostalism and the like might still persist well into the future). If both Canada and the Philippines were to be given over to their enemies, let’s not forget that there are certain movements facilitating and enabling this change beforehand, that if such an invasion were to arrive these movements would hasten these changes anyways. Whether if it’s Canada coming to resemble Russia more or socialism becoming more widespread in the Philippines after US collapse, it’s inevitable American influence will be erased in both countries.

This is another way that American influence is ending or eroding in some way, and arguably western influence in general, where the cultural tastemakers are more likely to come from East Asia instead. Sort of like how in the past boy bands were much likelier to come from western countries like America (which practically originated this and refined it from the doo-wop vocal group school), but following One Direction’s demise that Korean boy bands came to fill in the gap quite adequately. However it might turn out that there really is going to be a boy band/girl group bubble in South Korea that within a few years it might crash real badly, to the point where prioritising things like K-Ballad and Trot are safer bets from then on. Many K-Pop agencies might not make it to the 2030s, let alone well into this decade, that K-Pop as we know it might end for good. K-Pop is also a Korean music genre heavily influenced by American music and it too will be undone, like most American influence around the world. American influence will end either way, whether economically or culturally, that the whole world will be very different in the 2030s.

And even a few years before that, due to the nature of WWIII being nuclear, those from Europe would move to Asia and Africa. That’s to avoid intense radiation until their countries’ governments find a way to tame radiation levels to something more manageable for them to live, that even if not all Europeans leave their countries, at best they’ll be secluded to either living underground or in more isolated areas like the countryside instead. Maybe not necessarily living underground but in a way that minimises one’s exposure to radiation, though it would be oddly likely even for celebrities to leave their countries for awhile until life becomes safer to live. One time I was praying for a particular celebrity to worship God, I was directed to a devotional where I might meet her one day. Even then it’s still painfully likely for celebrities and non-celebrities alike to leave Europe for countries relatively less affected by radiation, I say relatively less affected as radiation would still affect those places to a degree. But even then WWIII might drastically change the world and be the time America truly ends.

And from then on America is gone in many ways more than one.

Super-Russia and Super-China

Celestial said that there might be two hegemons in the future, but these are really China and Russia respectively, moreso once America declines so much that any of America’s current allies will defect to either one of them. God might even allow Russia and China to take over America’s allies by force due to their own sins, resulting in a near-purging of nearly all American influence in those countries. There might be the reemergence of the Soviet Union but with many more countries this time, including America for awhile, resulting in Russia becoming the seat of western civilisation for the first time in history. China might get back more than what it lost but resulting in its own version of either the Soviet Union or the European Union, or perhaps in-between the two, with all of East Asia (China, Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia) constituting Greater China, and Africa and Australsia constituting Lesser China.

America might be tempted to create its own bloc or supranational union, but this wouldn’t last long as Canada might defect to Russia to keep itself from being terribly attacked the way America will be getting, same goes for Denmark and Greenland that this makes the possibility of a new Soviet Union much likelier than a renewed Monroe Doctrine in the long term. The countries that will form the Super-Russia entity (or a renewed Commonwealth of Independent States) will include not only Britain (well the newly dissolved United Kingdom consisting of Scotland, England and Wales), Ireland and Canada but also the rest of both the current European Union and the former Soviet Union proper, this will even come to encompass countries like Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, Bulgaria, the former Yugoslavia and Albania one day.

The Greater China countries are the Philippines (the first to join and stay because America will be too preoccupied with literally fighting its own battles, to the point of being unable to save the Philippines from China and it will come to resent the US a lot more), China, Taiwan (joining China in the same way Hong Kong and Macau did), Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Timor Leste, possibly Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, possibly Iran, Japan, South Korea (soon to reunite with North Korea), North Korea, Mongolia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Brunei and Laos. The Lesser China countries include Ghana, Mali, Chad, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Gabon, Iran, Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Palestine/Israel, Tunisia, Nigeria, Cote D’Ivoire, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya.

As well as those in Oceania like Palau, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and Micronesia in addition to Hawaii and Guam, Lesser China is to the Eastern Bloc as what Greater China is to the Soviet Union in a sense. The countries that are mostly unaligned will either be in South Asia (though the South Asian countries might also join China to create a Super-East or Super-China) or in Latin America and the Caribbean as to aim for neutrality. Even then this is a very different world from now where America’s not only irrelevant, but also long gone due to natural disasters and the like, as to consign it to mythology the way Atlantis underwent. So Atlantis might have been a real country, but one removed due to its sins or vices that it had to be euthanised soon enough to keep it from getting much worse.

A very different world from now for sure, so said the Lord and the new epicentre of evil would be in Italy due to the Antichrist’s emergence, as to corrupt the world again. And it would also be destroyed.

A world without America

This is going to be really existential regarding how would humanity fare in a post-American world in the long-term, since it’s been prophesised elsewhere that American influence wouldn’t just decline but also disappear altogether, with things like both natural disasters and sociopolitical instability being underway in America, coupled with the fact that America is Mystery Babylon that it’s inevitable America will decline anyways. Per Biblical prophecy, the world might mourn America’s downfall for awhile. Especially America’s closest allies that it’s going to be tough living in a post-American world at first, since it takes time to warm up to substitutes (which is how I feel about sermons on my favourite media outlets). America became a superpower because it has many advantages, but as blessings turn into curses, unfortunately this makes America suspectible to becoming Mystery Babylon at any point. Especially when it got so arrogant, that it’s going to spell its downfall.

A life without America anymore wouldn’t be any better as there will be a new epicentre of evil in the future, especially should the Antichrist rise to power somewhere in the Italian peninsula first. The version of the super world church he’ll be heading seems to be the most progressive, though it could be argued it’s already underway when it comes to Progressive Christianity. His mother would be the Antimary in that she’s definitely never a virgin when she begets him at all, though this is when the Devil starts possessing him. His miracles are lesser than those of the Real McCoy where he actually fails to resurrect the dead, the best he can do is to merely and technically reanimate them. But he’s actually raising zombies this way, the undead in other words. That’s not to say a ghost doesn’t eixst, let alone one that’s not demonic, as the ghost that does exist is the Holy Spirit (another aspect of God, alongside God the Father and God/Jesus the Son, for he and his father are one). He’s also at some point called the Holy Ghost.

I actually had a dream about an Italian Antichrist and in another, he turned into a cat hunting mice (paralleling that his father the Devil comes as a lion out to prey on people). I came around telling this to my family members about the Antichrist somewhere in a restaurant or something, that this could happen someday in the future when we have a family gathering at a church. Coupled with Jesus/God riding on a white horse suggests that Biblical prophecy isn’t just coming true at this point, a lot of it’s going to be imminent anyways. If America were to be prophetic Babylon and Canada as prophetic Egypt, then Britain would be prophetic Sumer in the sense of being the parent that witnesses one of its children die and Britain itself would be dissolved into three separate countries by then. Northern Ireland will really be reunited with the Republic of Ireland, witnessing a surge in a kind of Irish revivalism in religion and culture not seen in years, possibly including the renewed popularisation of the Irish language even.

But when it comes to both American influence and to an extent, British influence, getting undone it would be undone in the countries they inflicted the most harm onto, including massacring their peoples even as in Kenya and the Philippines before. Especially these two regarding such massacres that nearly all their influence would be erased in both of them as well as others to an extent, whatever that might be, though it would also be similarly played out in Ireland as well. A kind of recompense when these countries are freed from their colonisers’ negative influence for real, but the colonisers suffer under their newest captor Russia. Both Iran (successor state to the Persian empire), China and Russia would be used by God to deal with those who oppressed his peoples and other nations that have been sujbected to Babylon/America’s influence as well as those of Sumer/Britain, that this is what Babylon and Sumer get for corrupting them. A nuclear holocaust will occur in both Europe and North America (especially Canada and America).

Wherein it exterminates many peoples in the millions, whilst survivors flee to other countries for awhile until the radiation subsides. If not, they retreat underground or in safe spots wherever God provides them to shield them from said radiation that exterminates peoples in the millions, where both Europe and North America experience such a massive loss of human lives that it becomes the second black death. The western world will enter a new dark age but one marked by a much worse epidemic than in the original one and a nuclear holocaust, the survivors are either made to escape to other countries for awhile or to certain safe zones for the same reason. Somebody else like myself might end up housing survivors fleeing the radiation, including those I know on some level (could be a celebrity) for a time being until it subsides. The nuclear holocaust and the new black plague (Nipa virus) would be used by God to cleanse the west of such notorious characters, techncially separating the sheep from the goats, though this results in massive population reduction.

I said before that the resulting surviving human populations in the west would average in roughly more than one million, but around 10-20 million plus in more populous countries and more than 100,000 in less populous countries. It would be such a disaster that it practically wipes out much of the human population this way, the countries with the most populous survivors (and/or the least affected) are in Africa, West Asia and East Asia (China and much of Southeast Asia, including the Philippines). A very different world from then on where these regions become the most prosperous, whereas Europe and North America (barring Russia itself) are in a new dark age.

Canada after America

This would be a really existentialist question regarding how would the disappearance of America affect Canada (and Canadian culture) in the long term, given it’s one of those countries most heavily influenced by America. In most regards it’s much moreso than what Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Britain, Norway, Germany and the like get, not just because both America and Canada share a language and British heritage together, but also borders that Canada’s going to be this inescapably Americanised anyways. It’s actually been said in some Christian circles that the United States is Mystery Babylon, the nation-state said to corrupt the entire planet with its filth and abominations, as to warrant getting revoked in the foreseeable future. Canada’s really not any better and would suffer from its own sins/vices/mistakes, though America would have the misfortune of being removed from the planet altogether, both physiogeographically and culturally.

Eventually becoming the stuff of legend the way Atlantis did, which Celestial said that it might have been a real place after all. If Canada does join Russia, which is something that I prayed for and interceded for others to cope with as well, and then America disappears and is forgotten by many, then Canada would be in a really awkward position. By then it would be seen as the youngest of the Commonwealth of Independent States (something formed after the Soviet Union’s dissolution) and one of two former Britsh colonies to join Russia (the other being Ireland), as well as becoming Russia’s sole North American protectorate after America’s disappearance. Regarding America’s arrogance and the like, America does have a habit of seeing itself as the hero of the world. Essentially the hammer of the earth that hammers down its policies and preferences onto other countries, regardless of how questionable and bizarre these are at first.

It’s pretty obvious if you go by the GI Joe canon where such comics and the like were made at the tail end of the Cold War, where a battle’s fought between the all-American heroes (Scarlet, Duke, Lady Jayne and the like) and the para-Soviet Cobra (Baroness and Destro), in the case with Baroness even if she wasn’t intended to be Eastern European at first, as she was going to be a mere radical but given the strong anti-Soviet and anti-socialist streak America had in the 1980s (and still does to an extent), she was going to end up this way anyways. It’s a kind of self-mythologisation that America’s prone to from time to time, seeing itself as heroic despite its less than heroic act at times. But it also lived long enough to become the villain, if you get the reference by now. Perhaps outside of Russian, West Asian and Chinese media, if you’re ever going to have a pro-American villain at all in non-American comics you’d have to peruse Canadian comics instead.

But that’s due to America forcing Canada to join and when the latter refused, they began issues taxes in kind to one another. The one thing weirder than America disappearing into the waters forever is a Canadian Saddam Hussein attempting to turn Canada into New America, as the original Saddam Hussein tried to bring back Babylon (the precursor to modern day Iraq) and failed to do so. It should be noted that early versions of certain Iranian languages like Persian use to be written in cuneiform, the same used for both Akkadian and Sumerian, but as Babylon’s influence waned so inevitably both Babylon and Iran got Arabicised over time. But only Iran retained its own language, given it played a hand in freeing God’s people from Babylon despite (or because) of their own shortcomings, It should be noted that there’s also a Persian Jewish community somewhere there as well, so despite Iran’s own faults it did get used by God to save people from their worst enemy.

You can even freely read at least one Persian language/Iranian Catholic lectionary online, so it’s not that hopeless even if it has a habit of persecuting Christians. America might shockingly persecute its own one day, even if it’s been suspected before but it might turn out true. Celestial even said that America might house a form of totalitarianism in the future, but one heavily influenced by the original Nazis who came over to America, which makes for a weird irony that even when America proclaims itself to be a Jewish safe haven, it really doesn’t appear to be this way when it invited over their enemies to work on its causes which was known as Operation Paperclip. It also line up with a verse of Mystery Babylon getting drunk on the blood of saints, again this is the prophetic nation-state that America gets made out to be by some, where it makes for a weirdly Kafkasque transformation from a Christian safe haven to Hell on Earth.

The fact that Mystery Babylon is personified by a woman, both Babylon and Sumer are personified as daughter and mother, and America having been historically represented by a woman in the form of Columbia should point out to Britain being the new Sumer in here and one that will be dissolved into three separate countries as it’s just as bad as its own child. Like father, like son as the saying goes. England, Scotland and Wales might join Russia as three separate countries this time, with America becoming utterly gone from the picture in the future. And Canada would be very different here from then on.

The Russification of the west

Celestial has said this multiple times that Russia will succeed in conquering all of Europe as well as North America to an extent as comeuppance for their own backsliding, that this results in another version of the Soviet Union but with many more members this time. This could lead to a cultural Russification of these places just as there’s been an Americanisation of the same for some time now, but since Russia seems more conservative and politically incorrect this might have interesting ramifications for Europe and Canada in the future (America not for long as it’s going to disappear for good, being the prophesised Mystery Babylon or the nation-state that corrupts the planet with its filth.) Since there are people who say that America is Mystery Babylon, an utterly corrupting country that pollutes the world with its filth and abominations, whether if this includes political correctness is up to anybody else’s guess.

It should be noted that both Sweden and France were ahead of America when it comes to legalising gay activity, but it’s America that gave gay culture its form and ammunition. This includes a love of hedonistic dance music, flamboyant female singers, gay porn magazines, gay fetishes like leathermen and gay porn films, despite also housing a substantial Christian media industry that gives America a duplicitous character that’s on the verge of instability, to the point of being very much internally divided as a rule and feature. It wouldn’t be any better if we live in a future where America’s already gone for long, but America’s position is peculiar because it is one of the biggest superpowers in the world at present. It was even a hyperpower for a time being in the 1990s and 2000s, a sole superpower then and a step above a superpower as well. This also went with the further popularisation of porn when it came to not only CD-Roms (these were advertised in magazines like Wired before) but also the Internet, so much so that at present we have safe search and the like to warn people of what they might encounter.

Celestial said that Russia’s more righterous than America is though it would also be judged in due time for its own faults/sins/shortcomings, or at least has a more Manichean worldview than America does. This also manifests as reinforcing stronger censorship when it comes to objectionable content like homosexuality for instance, though this isn’t unique to Russia as it’s also shared with China (another country that God will use to take down America with as well). It’s been said that Russia’s more conservative than America, including being kind of politically incorrect in a way both North America and Europe usually strive not to be. That’s not to say multiculturalism is not existent in both China and Russia but that it would appear differently in both countries, additionally Russia has separate words used to describe ethnic Russians and Russians of other ethnicities respectively. The typical western/North American and Western European understanding of diversity involves not only multiculturalism (though in their case, it’s primarily diasporic at this point), inclusion of disabilities and different social classes, but also LGBT and the like.

It’s also common to encounter talks of going against white, cisheterosexual mononormative patriarchy in western circles when it comes to what many Western European countries were like before, which is not to say there aren’t any feminists and the like in both China and Russia. I mentioned before that both Western European and North American countries house a substantial number of people from the former’s former colonies in the Global East (Africa, West Asia and East Asia), which is very much the case with both Britain and France. Funny enough, these two also influenced Canada a lot. But anyways it’s kind of telling that both countries at present house such substantial diasporas that a good number of their celebrities are descended from immigrants themselves, Aya Nakamura is a Frenchwoman of Malian descent for instance. Skin from Skunk Anansie is an Englishwoman of Jamaican descent, Jamie Woon is an Englishman of Chinese and Malaysian descent.

Yseult is a Frenchwoman of Cameroonian descent, Thierry Chantha Bin is a Frenchman of Cambodian descent. Jay Sean is an Englishman of Indian descent, Elodie Young is a Frenchwoman of Cambodian descent. Even one of the more recent prime ministers in British history, Rishi Sunak, is of Indian descent himself. I feel the Russian equivalents to these folks would either be very rare or would most likely come from a larger, longer-established ethnicity there, it would be no different in China and the Philippines as well really with their own. Or for another matter Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Thailand, Taiwan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia just the same, coupled with a number of them having harsher restrictions on certain things that diversity would have to be recalibrated to fit their contexts, even if it’s not true for all of them. There is a pair of Indonesian authors who did a comic book about a transgender child, but it was published for the US market.

Even then this does make one wonder if there’s something about America that’s so suspicious even other countries immediately object to this, well at some point in time that by then they’re this desensitised to the stuff America puts out and it;s getting worse by the minute. Ultimately American influence will be revoked, though it already is at this point to an extent, though a Russified Canada has yet to show up. A Russified Disunited Kingdom of England, Scotland and Wales would be interesting, as is a Russified Ireland but this is more of an inevitability of all five of them coming under Russian influence from then on in a world without America.

United We Stand, Divided We Fall

When it comes to prophecies about a forthcoming US civil war, it’s as if America had been tearing itself apart that what was a culture war will become a proper civil war in due time. America is practically a very double-minded country that will collapse due to economic, civil and physiogeographical instability, where it seems odd of a country to have both substantially thriving Christian ministries and worldly, corrupting multimedia industries. Add to that there are people who say that America is Mystery Babylon, which makes its ability to corrupt the planet with its filth all the more potent when it was a hyperpower. This is one step above being a superpower, where America had unprecedented unipolar dominance over the world. Looking back in hindsight that whilst a number of British and Swedish bands and musicians have international success and popularity, it is the norm for their American counterparts to have the same things themselves.

Even on Philippine radio stations you’re much likelier to hear US acts like Backstreet Boys and Lizzo, than one would with say Italy’s Fabri Fibra and Mina Mazzini. Online streaming does help ease things but only to an extent, since it’s still unlikely for South Korea’s Drunken Tiger to have the same clout like Stray Kids and BTS do. I even think Korean influence is much more limited than one realises, since not a lot of Philippine publishers personally translate Korean books into the Philippine vernacular often themselves. I also don’t think Korean ballads and Trot get played often on Philippine radio compared to K-Pop, even if these two genres have been popular in South Korea before. Whereas Philippine radio doesn’t shy away from playing nearly all kinds of US music genres (US rock, US pop, US rap, US Christian music, US ragtime, US jazz and US film scores), to the point where South Korean influence here will always be a distant second.

There are Philippine fan of Swedish and British musicians and acts as I’m one myself of at least several of them (Ace of Base, The Prodigy, Swing Out Sister, Everything But The Girl, Massive Attack, Sofia Jannok and Lady Sovereign among others), but even then this is kind of tempered by the fact that there are more Philippine fans of their American counterparts. These include the likes of The Platters and Nat King Cole, but I’m not immune to them at various points in my life. There’s actually a line in the Bible where Babylon the Great’s musicians no longer play music, so there’s a possibility American music might become less popular in the Philippines and the entire world (though it already is in some countries to an extent), though one would wonder if it might be unfashionable to enjoy American music yourself once the Philippines turns against America for not saving it from China in time. Celestial even had a prophecy of countries turning against America.

This also extends to the ACG side of things where it’s much likelier to find Philippine people who’re fans of American cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and the X-Men, than one would with France’s Asterix and Lucky Luke, ditto Italy’s Dylan Dog and Nathan Never. Ditto Sweden’s Bamse, ditto Norway’s Pondus. Though the Bible doesn’t outright mention it, it’s also likely American ACG media might also fall out of favour in the Philippines, since it already is so to an extent in other countries like Denmark and Canada. The loss of American influence in the Philippines would be so shocking that to make up for such a loss is to intercede for others to cope with say local publishers translating Chinese books and Hong Kong comics, or when it comes to the loss of US influence in Canada that one might intercede for their Canadian counterparts to cope with Canadian publishers doing the same thing but to Russian books and Swedish comics.

It would be a bit more awkward because countries like Russia, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, Poland and Latvia don’t have particularly large comics industries of their own, whilst it’s somewhat better with Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway but not much. The Philippines might fare better because China, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong have bigger comics industries than these would for Canada as to make up for quite a big loss, though it would take time to warm up to alternatives (which is how I feel about a certain station’s sermons going missing or certain social media channels just the same). It’s true God might give something better than that, where in the case with one station that I listened to every Sunday since then this year, it would come to air sermons from other ministries and pastors. So for the Philippines and Canada, the answers might already lie in their neighbours and/or newfound allies, should American influence ever get erased over time.

Even then America’s not going to remain the same ever, possibly morphing into a dictatorship before disappearing forever.

He’s a screaming politician

When it comes to characters with preternaturally loud screams, it’s kind of odd why nobody bothered creating a character who parlays this ability into politics, since they could make a good orator this way. Who needs microphones when your sonic scream easily does the job for you in public anyways, well it turns out I have created one in an ageing politician named Walter Edevane. A rival to the much younger Colin Sallow, he has a habit of belittling him when given the opportunity to do so. Inevitably Colin does respond in kind (in a way), though he seems friendlier in public than he is. Walter Edevane is pretty much a married man, never cheats on his wife (and she never cheats on him too), never goes about clubbing and stuff. Despite being wealthier than Colin is, he’s not the sort of bloke who’d spend his money on something this exorbant, maybe same for some things in life.

He’s not the sort of man who’d spend this much money on setting up an elaborate aviary to raise birds of almost any kind (chickens, turkeys, geese, canaries, pigeons, parrots, ducks and quails) the way Colin does, preferring cheaper and more commonplace pets like mixed breed dogs for instance. He leads a simple life where he goes about caring for his mutts, whilst not being above demanding that pigeons ought to be dealt with harshly. He’s okay with driving simple cars, taking the bus or train when necessary and the like, even when he’s not exactly old money himself. He’s okay with living in a simple house with a simple garden, despite his wealth although this could be applied to Mr Sallow in a way. He often rags on Colin Sallow for many reasons, namely his hairstyle (telling him to get a haircut, he looks like a girl), tendency to be really kind of pigeons, for dressing in a certain way (wearing a striped dress shirt with a suit, forgoing the tie) and never eating turkeys and chickens.

I feel a story where you have superpowered characters around yet it’s neither fantasy (not even the urban fantasy variety) nor does it contain combats even when supernatural abilities are involved, even when such a story calls itself a superhero story yet has much more in common with actual crime fiction that the way the stories will unfold will turn out very differently. In the typical superhero setup, whenever a character gains preternatural abilities at all they often funnel these into combat, alongside putting on a showy persona and equally showy outfit. They are often repeatedly tested by a set of recurring enemies (their rogues gallery), but they are expected to win and have victory over their foes. They have to lead a double life, though they actually spend much more time fighting their enemies, than doing what they’re supposed to do at work. It’s actually the thing with Supergirl in the 1970s stories when she became a grown up woman.

She’s really Superwoman by then all but in name, who technically works as a telly host or actress but spends more time fighting enemies. Aside from the other Supergirls that came before her (including Lois Lane for a while), Supergirl in the late 1950s was introduced as a teenager and kind of aged realistically by cartoon character standards where she eventually graduates from high school and goes to university or something, then does a variety of jobs since then. It’s actually not unique to her as it’s very rampant throughout the DC and Marvel canons where you have characters who technically work as florists (Black Canary for the longest period of time), journalists (Superman, Spider-Man), business owners (Iron Man, Batman), teachers (Guy Gardner, Helena Bertinelli), musicians (Dazzler, Luna Snow), scientists (Poison Ivy, Barry Allen, Hank Pym, Harley Quinn) and so on, but spend far more time beating up their foes in whatever manner the writers see fit.

Imagine if the use of a double life was either done away or done very differently from what’s usually portrayed in DC and Marvel stories, albeit one with a stronger crime fiction or even stronger literary fiction influence, that this changes the way characters use their abilities with. Like I said before, Walter Edevane has a sonic scream and is also a good orator of a politician. Therefore he has no need for microphones, he just has to modulate his voice when the situation calls for it (to the best of his abilities). Colin Sallow has the ability to stop time but only in a limited area and it has something to do with gravity as both time and gravity are scientifically closely related, so if he stops time in a certain area somebody else feels heavier this way. He does this whenever he has to do something, both good and ill, like making an escape, making food, sharpening pencils and stuff. Especially when he has to literally take the time to do something.

It seems a lot of superhero comics, especially from DC and Marvel, seem more obsessed with their own storytelling canons instead of venturing out into something new and different, that if they do the latter they’ll get backlash for it. Even racebending earlier characters often prove to be really controversial, to the point where it seems the wiser solution is to create a new DC or Marvel instead. This is pretty much what the blokes during the early days of Image Comics ended up doing, but only one imprint got absored into DC’s canon proper. That is Wildstorm and this was Jim Lee’s baby, before going on to actually helm DC Comics himself. At this point in time the only consistently successful superhero stories Image publishes are Spawn and Invincible, both of them got animated adaptations by the way. It’s possible for a new Wildstorm or Image to emerge, but given America’s declining stature this Wildstorm would have to be outside of the United States in any way.

This is also likely why sometime in the 1980s DC began hooking in British writers, with a feeling their takes on superheroes were really refreshing, especially the better ones who cut their teeth at the magazine 2000AD. Early on a number of British superheroes were evidently derivative of their US counterparts, the Leopard From Lime Street is a feline Spider-Man, Marvelman is a blond British Billy Batson. It’s even telling that Marvel had to instigate its own British imprint, with a young Neil Tennant (of Pet Shop Boys fame) working for it for a while, to appeal to British readers. Years before it would buy Marvelman itself, which arguably speaks volumes about superheroes being rather foreign to British culture. It’s not that all British people dislike superheroes but there’s something un-British about superheroes that makes it harder to support a homegrown British superhero for long, much less one that’s not too derivative of their American counterparts.

Even the general set-up of the superhero school is really strange and confounding where you have characters who technically work a quotidian job but spend far more time beating up bad guys instead in a garish outfit and with an equally garish alias, especially once they acqure such preternatural abilities at all. Judge Dredd and his cronies like Judge Andersons are consistently police officers through and through, but crime fiction seems far better established in British culture than superheroes are if it weren’t for the formative likes of Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple. That’s not to say an American can’t come up with a Harry Potter before JK Rowling got to it, maybe something close to it but there’s something British about Harry Potter that the closest earliest US analogues can’t come close to. Not that boarding schools aren’t a part of America and other countries at all, but when boarding schools are identified by differing houses and boarding schools are much better established in Britain, then Harry Potter as we know it can’t be American.

If you were to consider the usual US high school fiction, it would have things like a cafeteria, cheerleaders and popular kids. When it comes to something like WITCH, though a Disney property, it was very much developed in Italy first and pretty much likely reflects Italian educational norms and understandings. Cornelia could be the popular girl and equivalent to As Told By Ginger’s Courtney, but she’s very much a part of Will’s social group from the get-go. In that sense there’s something deeply American about superheroes that feels foreign or strange in another country or culture, that if Miraculous is any indication, if another country were to have a successful go with it it would turn out very differently. The US superhero angle is pretty much going to be an adult doing vigilante acts with supernatural abilities, a flashy alias and a garish outfit, albeit done with a really straight face. France’s Felina could be a French Catwoman, a Catwoman where no Batman exists. But she doesn’t appear to have recurring foes, as much as Batman does.

Miraculous is obviously based on American superheroes but it’s also got a strong magical girl influence, where they access to their superhero personas through fetishes the way Sailor Moon and her cronies do. (Not necessarily in the sense of kink, but as in charms and talismans.) US superheroes also seem foreign in Canadian culture, even when Canadians frequently work for US publishers. In the sense that Canada’s unable to sustain its own superhero magazines for as long and as often as America does, where its own takes are either really novel (Angloman using satire more often, or The Pitiful Human Lizard being about a loser) or super-derivative (Captain Canuck for instance). Canada doesn’t even have a particularly substantial superhero canon of its own, that it seems the superhero school is also not its forte either. As if superheroes don’t travel that particularly well in other countries when localised at all, if Miraculous is any indication, it would be tempered by other influences.

Since this story also takes place in Canada and it’s also heavily influenced by straight crime fiction, it’s also proving the point right in a way. I feel in the usual US superhero setup, Colin Sallow being Walter Edevane’s political enemy would become a part of his rogues gallery, also they have to have showy outfits and aliases to go with it. Maybe Colin Sallow will go by the name of Interval as he stops time in a specific area, so logically Walter Edevane would be Protest then. Both characters would have to lead double lives then, in a way their usual presentations wouldn’t do as the original’s more rooted in crime fiction. Additionally many US superheroes aren’t part of government-sponsored teams the way Canadian superheroes are (as Captain Canuck’s associated with PACT or something), but this reflect the US superhero school’s roots in vigilantism where people take law into their own hands when dealing with criminal activity themselves.

Not that vigilantism’s entirely absent in Britain and Canada, but it’s not a prominent feature the way it is in America. Not just in the former wild west, but also in urban America from time to time. There are some people who say that the current superhero school has parallels to the cowboy fiction school, in the sense that both deal with vigilantism and taking advantage of newly acquired land. It could be said that the British wave in US superhero comics is the superhero school’s equivalent to Italy’s spaghetti westerns, taking something quintessentially American and doing something different with it. If the western’s popularity largely died with the Cold War, then it’s conceivable that the superhero’s popularity with America’s own decline in another way. If you believe Christian prophets, America might be subjected to both a forthcoming civil war and new world war. This could spell the end of superheroes as we know them, since you also have these prophets saying America is Mystery Babylon (the future nation–state said to corrupt the world).

Since we shouldn’t despise prophecy (despite failing this at times), there is a chance that America will truly decline a lot in stature and influence, perhaps even witnessing its influence get undone and it already is to some extent, wherein if America were to persist in some way it would really end up as the pawn of another country before disappearing altogether. Perhaps the DC and Marvel superheroes will disappear with it altogether as well, resulting in a fundamentally changed media landscape by then where the Canadian ACG canon would closely resemble its European counterpart more this time. A world where much American influence had already been reduced by then, but where Canada would be in a really awkward position of being Russia’s sole North American territory/whatever after America’s disappearance. If the superhero originated in America, then it would die with America too. Or if it does survive in any way, it would really have to change with the times. It might survive longer in other countries but it would also develop or grow in ways it wouldn’t get to do in America, especially once the genre’s sufficiently cut off from the biggest movers of its canon.

Namely DC and Marvel that it might go from referencing these two a lot to getting influenced by many other things to varying degrees, developing in a manner that’s no longer beholden to either one or both of them. Since I said before that Colin Sallow is actually based on Liam Howlett, the keyboardist for the band The Prodigy, to the extent of even sharing other attributes with him (playing the piano and biking), along with the story being more rooted in mystery fiction that there is a way to develop the superhero story largely independent of DC and Marvel. But this involves opening up to very different influences that are rarely, if ever, utilised in the superhero canon a lot where it seems usual for subsequent superhero publications to have covers homaging other superhero publications. It is very rare for the same to homage something else like popular music, that it would be even more astonishing for it to earnestly reference bands like The Prodigy a lot as there’s another character called Fabrice Tientcheu who’s based on Maxim Reality, let alone even their other contemporaries like Ace of Base or Aqua.

(Well there’s a bit of Malin Berggren in another character called Jemima Szara, since they’re both blonde white women who are neither particularly tall nor particularly short.)

These kinds of influences (well in a way) aren’t necessarily unprecedented in superhero comics as somebody like JH Williams III has been known to allude to Sisters of Mercy (yet another favourite of mine) in his cartooning from time to time, but it’s much more common to find superhero comics alluding a lot to other superhero comics and by extension, comics in general, because it’s clear these kinds of stories have come to appeal a lot to a certain audience that may not necessarily overlap much with people who’re deep into music and vice versa for a good number of people. This isn’t always the case but it’s kind of telling that there are a good deal more comic books about Batman, Superman and Spider-Man than there are those about say Massive Attack, comics about The Prodigy do exist but they’re primarily found in music magazines. One of the Ace of Base members has read comics herself, even though they pertain more to Tintin and Donald Duck than with Superman. Aqua did a song about them called ‘Cartoon Heroes’ and Sisters of Mercy have appeared in comics before, but it’s generally pretty rare finding western comics specifically about actual musicians.

In fact it’s very rare for superhero comics to even bother alluding to actual musicians much, much less using them as inspiration for actual characters (and stories) and one of them is Dazzler, who was going to be black herself as she was based on Grace Jones. Mind you Gary Groth even found these kinds of stories inbred and that’s painfully true when it’s more common for DC and Marvel writers and their ilk elsewhere to repeatedly riff on past stories and covers a lot, where it’s telling these are meant for those familiar with superheroes a lot to begin with. It would be mind-bogglingly rare to find superhero comics from any publisher to reference or allude to the likes of X-Ray Spex, XMal Deutschland, The Klinik, The Damned, The KLF, Cappella and Front 242, if these stories do exist at all in any capacity or shape, that goes to show you the average superhero cartoonist/writer’s not really that big into music themself.

Much less a wider variety of music whereas they’d feel the reverse towards a wider variety of comics in a way (to some extent), it’s even the case with most comics readers themselves where they’re usually more familiar with different kinds of comics than they are with their musical counterparts. But then again for the longest period of time, I actually listened to more music than I do with comics. Maybe not anymore as I actually spend more time listening to sermons these days, it’s still kind of telling that superhero media is weirdly self-referential at this point. A more future-forward superhero story would have to be one open to a much wider variety of influences, however disparate and unlikely they may be, not necessarily entirely unprecedented but different enough to stand on its own now that America’s in decline, so we might see less of DC and Marvel over time from then on.

Ride A White Horse

There are going to be massive changes in the future, not just when it comes to Jesus Christ returning on a white horse, but also economic collapses and a famine, as well as more severe pandemics and America getting judged real badly, that this has the potential to be more drastic than at the start of this decade. In fact the 2020s would be the decade about America’s true end, which would make the 2010s a prelude to it in a way. Then this makes the 1990s and the 2000s the height of America’s prowess, especially when it was the undisputed hyperpower as the sole superpower then. For those who were minors in the 1990s and 2000s, this would’ve coincided with a profound Americanisation of many cultures. Particularly in the realms of not only live action media and prose media, but also ACG media as well like many Disney productions. In hindsight during those years that despite bands like Aqua, The Prodigy, Ace of Base, Spice Girls, Blur, Oasis, Gorillaz, Daft Punk, Eiffel 65, Keane and Stereophonics finding a good degree of international success, their American counterparts were more universally successful the world over.

It’s kind of really obvious that American bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Nsync, Backstreet Boys, Pearl Jam, Paramore and the like repeatedly stole the show all over again, that if America were to truly decline we could end up experiencing a kind of dark ages not helped by it being exacerbated by a forthcoming civil war in the United States, a loomin World War three and an incoming pandemic that’s worse than the previous one. There was something like the black plague that hit the Middle Ages before, but this one will be much worse as it’s going to seriously wipe out many people in the west. A lot more given the United States has currently around 300 million plus people, then comes the Latin American countries which are also experiencing serious apostasy by now, that this pandemic will really wipe out a lot of unbelievers there. This could even spread to the Philippines given it’s also on the verge of this at any point, that it will really result in much more casualties that both coronavirus and the black plague ever did.

There’s a Norwegian woman who prophesised to Emmanuel Minos that World War Three will usher in far more casualties than the previous one did, making WWII look like child’s play as this one involves actual nuclear warfare. He transcribed the whole thing but wouldn’t get widely published and be made viral until years later, to the point where he finally saw it happen. Even then I think this would still result in another dark ages, but one marked by America’s downfall first and foremost. America might fancy itself as Rome but this only makes the comparison to the historical dark ages all the more apt, because the dark ages kind of began when the western Roman empire declined. Logically as Russia also sees itself as the third Rome, it is effectively the new eastern Roman empire in a sense. It might even succeed in taking over a good chunk of the western world (Canada and Europe) with it, effectively becoming the new seat of western civilisation. One would only wonder if this results in a new renaissance, given the Renaissance came after the Middle Ages.

The same woman also prophesised that those from the Global North might flee to the Global South in search of respite, despite also getting flack themselves over time. It doesn’t help when a good chunk of the western world gets nuked so much that it’s going to be hard growing crops with at least in the interim, that it’s possible those from irradiated parts of Europe and North America might flee to less irradiated parts of the world but also be met with the same flack they give to others. It’s kind of frightening to realise the extent of immense radiation reaching to other places like the soon to be dissolved United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France, that even if there are some places to grow crops with it’s going to be hard avoiding such an impact at times that you feel tempted to flee to somewhere else. Mind you there was an immense nuclear mishap in Ukraine that came to affect other European countries, that if countries like Russia were to get nuked by America it could greatly affect Scandinavia and the British Isles by the way.

And if America gets nuked in kind, this might also affect Canada and Mexico. Then Chernobyl, Nagasaki and Hiroshima like situations will be the norm in the west, it can be said that the entire western world would be a nuclear wasteland then. There will be a lot more ghost towns in the west because of how irradiated the west will be, that westerners will be this desperate for survival elsewhere. One could wonder if someone like myself might end up housing some of my favourite musicians seeking respite from nuclear radiation, meeting some of them in church one day. But the fact that much of Europe and the Americas will be nuked due to their own sins and apostasies says much about their spiritual situations, made worse by the fact that the west was like the heartland and vanguard of Christianity for centuries. Come the 21st century and perhaps earlier than that, the west has become deeply secularised. A case of intergenerational backsliding for centuries.

The Philippines might be next alongside South Korea that they too will be judged for their backsliding, as to warrant getting given over to China forever fo this. It would be a very different world from now where the world has been so affected by a nuclear war that others will be desperate to flee elsewhere for safety, even if it were possible to find a way to minimise so much radiation in the western world, people will still want and need to move elsewhere to avoid this pain soon enough or beforehand if they heed to the prophecies first. A new dark ages marked by not only an epidemic and a civil war in America, but also a nuclear world war where Hiroshima and Nagasaki like situations are the norm in the west and possibly the rest of the world to an extent. Then Jesus will return and the world will be destroyed again, only to make way for a new version of itself where animals no longer eat one another. A world where children can freely play with formerly venomous animals, where death is no more and so is darkness. Both literal darkness and a spiritual darkness.

A new world if there ever will be one in the future, a befitting end to a painful past marked by sin.

The new black death

Since there are prophecies of a massive population reduction coming to the west due to its backsliding, that we might see the return of a sort of black death not seen in centuries since the last time it happened in medieval Europe. This was a kind of pandemic that wiped much half of the European population before, and it’s going to happen again but due to the west’s backsliding and condoning of certain things like euthanasia and abortion (sanctioned murder by healthcare professionals). This would be so terrifying to witness it actually happen in our lifetimes that makes one wonder if Europe’s actually falling apart behind the scenes, that we might witness another version of the European dark ages. But that’s because the west lives in darkness and loves darkness over light, that ultimately it will undergo a new dark age not seen in centuries. I had this vision of dogs eating their owners and other people after or during this new pandemic, it should be noted something similar happened before but as comeuppance for someone else’s faults that this might happen again in a way.

The western world houses quite a lot of Jezebel and Ataliah type women that ultimately they will be eaten alive by their own dogs, a case of God using evil to deal with evil as dogs usually have a negative depiction in the Bible. I heard a sermon before about beware of dogs that confirmed dogs’ status as a massive invasive species, that it would be really alarming to see far more stray dogs in the western world. These dogs will become so wild as to lose touch of humanity for most of the part, interbreeding with wolves and devouring humans wherever and whenever they find them at all. Packs of dogs will eat humans, both dead and alive, that it will become a common occurrence in western journalism. These dogs will cease to be domesticated for long, readily reverting back to the wild. It will become so commonplace in both Europe and North America, that a fallen west will house a massive feral dog pandemic. These dogs will have a habit of hunting down humans with much success on their own, that this is an example of beware of dogs now exacerbated by devastating circumstances wrought by the new pandemic.

The second black death will be so devastating to both Europe and Canada that the maximum population in the west would be around 15-20 million people at most, among those affected by this are Britain, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, Canada and possibly Russia to some extent (though it might be the least affected in all of the new west). The new black death would usher in a repeat of the Middle Ages in a way, maybe not necessarily technologically but rather medically, economically and geopolitically so. A vastly underpopulated and struggling west as opposed to the more propserous and well-populated east (as represented by West Asia, East Asia and Africa), where all the surviving western countries (all of Europe and Canada) are at the mercy of their Russian captors. The latter makes nearly all the decisions for the former, a new west where it’s held together by Russia and Russia alone. A new dark ages in Europe and Canada that will emerge from WWIII and the nipah pandemic heading westwards, a repeat of the old dark ages but with more technological innovations this time.

Here We Go…Again

There’s somebody having a prophecy that a new pandemic will emerge anytime this year and is likely already happening to an extent, but this time in India when it comes to the nipah virus as spread by bats. Truly there’s nothing new under the sun, just that it’s shifted a little bit more westwards this time. Given I have interceded for clergy, priests, pastors, healthworkers, musicians, churchgoers and the like to be shielded from the virus, they could still be able to work and worship God in public in any capacity. But if such a virus were to successfully wipe out a good chunk of the human population, especially in areas where unbelief’s rampant, then it seems death is really around the corner at any point. It might still be possible to worship God in some other way, as the church (being the body of Christ) truly transcends buildings. What would happen is a surge in streaming sermons in any manner, be it livestreaming from social media channels or on the radio (even online radio counts), as well as reading lectionaries and devotionals at home should lockdowns occur that this is how people will worship God from then on.

Mind you I actually started getting a real frequent paying job at the start of the pandemic by selling facemasks, if a new pandemic were to arise then it might be fashionable to make and sell facemasks this time. Considering that the origins of this pandemic are in India, which is west of China, the virus might spread westwards to backsliding Europe and North America, resulting in a massive loss of lives since the Black Plague of the Middle Ages. But this will also be exacerbated by a forthcoming World War Three, so we’ll get even bigger loss of human lives than ever before. This new Black Plague is a result of the west’s own backsliding, since I have faced similar consequences before, that it’s inevitble they have reaped what they sown. It might be much worse than before because a lot of white Americans and Canadians are the descendants of Europeans, so it will wipe out more white people than it did in the Middle Ages. Both a forthcoming civil war and a forthcoming world war will help wipe out much of the human population with shocking ease.

I feel this might be a wakeup call for westerners to go back to God eventually, but given America is Mystery Babylon that its own people will be wiped out a lot. By world war, enslavement, civil war and pandemics, America will experience a terrifying population reduction. This isn’t unique to America as this will spread to the western world and eventually the rest of the world, though the western world will be the worst affected due to its rampant backsliding. There’s a Norwegian woman who prophesised to Emmanuel Minos (who transcribed everything she said) that European churches will be deconsecrated, which eventually happened come the 20th century and 21st century where a number of them have become nightclubs, libraries, restaurants and other things, that no sooner or later these same westerners who frequent these deconsecrated buildings will be wiped out through many means (disease and warfare especially). Celestial even said that due to Europe’s backsliding, all of it will come under Russian influence and is already underway to an extent.

All of Europe will never escape the Russian bear, all of Canada and America will never escape the Russian bear either. The surviving western nations under Russia’s grip will consist of all the European countries and Canada, as much of America will disappear into the waters forever. Never to be seen again, whereas American influence is already getting undone to an extent. The new west will consist of countries from both the former Soviet Union and Eastern bloc, and most of the former western world (read those under American influence, including Canada and a newly dissolved Britain). It’s possible for the new west to emerge from the rumbles of the old (both literally and figuratively regarding a new pandemic taking place around the time a new world war happens), but it would be one with a substantially reduced population at that. A country like Germany with 80 million plus people at present would come to have much less than that in the future, possibly around 30 or 20 million at that.

Italy might also experience a serious population reduction, going from 60 million plus to around 15 million at most. Canada’s population would go from 30 million plus to around 10 million at most, Britain might go from 60 million to 10 million or something. The same goes for any highly populated European country like France, Spain and the like for their own sins and faults, that it might become the new western norm to have a maximum population of around 20 million. The minimum western norm, especially in countries like Finland and Iceland, would be around 900,000 at most and as for Iceland, it would be around 100, 000. A deeply underpopulated west where most people have died, because most westerners are spiritually dead as well. This nipah virus will result in a pandemic that will more strongly affect the western world than it would for East Asia and Africa, seeing as these regions either have rising Christian populations (China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand and possibly Myanmar) or have seen a massive surge in Christians (Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, Cameroon, Togo, Cote D’Ivoire) as to be spared from it.

Maybe save for the Philippines as it’s got a lot of backsliders that they might not survive the new pandemic either, and added warfare from both China and America, that a lot of Filipinos are already dead before meeting their physical deaths. Or South Korea for another matter as what Nakita pointed out, that ultimately these two will be the exception to the rule in Asia and Africa. Death comes to all, but those who’re already spiritually dead will be worst affected.
