Outdated like Uncle Sam

I feel the more America declines as a superpower, the more outdated and outmoded American products and influence risk being and becoming. Add to that Donald Trump desperately wants to strengthen American influence so much but ironically ends up undoing it, to the point where America continues to shrink in power and influence, contrary to his own desires. Maybe not immediately at first in other countries but with Trump putting tariffs on nearly anything international to support the US economy risks other problems, like how piracy would become very attractive to a lot of Americans. Conversely speaking, if Canada and Denmark are any indication, foreign countries might return in kind, whether if Trump likes it or not. It would be a case of Trump getting a taste of his own medicine, when overseas countries do put tariffs on American films and the like.

To the point where supporting either the local film industries or even the film industries of rising superpowers like China and Russia feel trendier and more relevant to people’s lives, even if it’s not these two it’s inevitable that anything non-American will become trendier in the future. He could even hasten the death of the US film industry this way, albeit in a way he never expected to because he’s accidentally responsible for it. Imagine that he succeeds in putting tariffs on foreign films that other nations return in kind, thus depriving each other of imports on both sides of the Atlantic (and the Pacific). If Trump were to put tariffs on international music just the same, it would further hasten the demise of American influence elsewhere if other countries were to respond in kind.

To the point where anything and everything American has become outmoded and outdated, that other countries find themselves looking to their neighbours and even rival superpowers more when this happens. I feel if America were to actually withdraw itself from the Philippines for good, then the latter would really have to cozy up to its immediate neighbours, not just the rest of Southeast Asia but also China (though this is my preference). Even then American influence isn’t going to last long with Trump putting tariffs on international goods and the like that other countries will respond in kind, with the latter turning to alternative superpowers more in America’s place. I feel if it’s not enough for Canadians to support Canadian products, then trading with Europe and even Russia would be inevitable.

The last one is my preference but even then this is what Canada could logically and plausibly do, now that America burnt its bridges, then turning to Russia would be the lesser of two evils in this sense. Even then American influence will inevitably be undone, it wouldn’t be complete but enough to lessen its impact around the world. To the point where anything and everything American becomes outdated, a relic of the past, artefacts that have little bearing on people’s futures and those of their respective countries.

Everything Falls Apart

There are actually prophecies about America’s economic decline before and now somebody else is saying it’s underway, mostly due to Donald Trump’s pride that if pride goes before the fall, then despite all his best efforts to keep America on top they end up alienating a good number of America’s allies, especially in the west where they started boycotting US products a lot. I even think it’s a bad idea to set up a Disney store in the Philippines given how imminent America’s economic decline will be and it’s happening much sooner than expected, to the point where it would be more sensible to develop ties to our country’s closest neighbours like China and Japan, despite our hesitations towards the former. And that this person goes on saying that God really knows America is Mystery Babylon.

The great nation-state whose riches will be eliminated, where its blessings become curses and where its joys turn to sorrows, where countries will no longer be able to trade with it and where it gets destroyed and hated by its allies. Remember how Dumitru Duduman said that America is Mystery Babylon because an angel told him that? If America is a new Babylon, then we have to get out of it. You could be in America but not of America, so to rephrase what’s said in the Bible. The parallels between America and Babylon are even more striking considering how both of them made other countries into client states, where those inhabitants become so habituated to sin and evil they even come to love it more. American necolonialism in the Philippines would be practically analogous to the time Judah spent under Babylonian captivity, but the problem is many Filipinos see America as the hero.

Unable to see that this is a nation that’s hated by the Lord for its arrogance, duplicity and spiritual instability that it has to go, we have to let go of America if we are to hate what God hates. America is a very duplicitous country because on one hand, it has a lot of prominent evangelical ministries, but on the other hand it houses a substantial snuff industry and gave us Playboy and Penthouse that if a double-minded person is unstable in all their ways, so is America as a nation-state and it’s getting more obvious over time. Eventually all the other countries stop trading with America, as if America’s decline is happening much sooner than expected. Add to that God’s allowing Russia to take down America, if because the latter has sinned so much, so he’s going to revoke the latter once and for all.

He will even take down Trump, because he’s arrogant and he encourages people’s idolatry of him. The fact that he’s not held accountable for his misactions, the way they do with other US presidents like Bill Clinton is strangely hypocritical. It’s as if with Trump, he can do no wrong. And he will turn out to be wrong in the end, even if Trump was given to Christians by God, the fact that they’ve turned him into an idol suggests that he has effectively taken God’s place as the face of Christianity in America. No wonder why so many people are fleeing Christianity there, because it’s so closely associated with Trump that there’s no point in calling yourself a Christian anymore. No surprise why he ended up alienating more people than he thinks he does, you could understand how Canadians feel about him.

And lately American influence is getting undone in some way, it will continue in the future and will be accelerated when America goes into administration soon enough.

Inflation Blues

Somebody has a prophecy about soaring prices in America and it boils down to three factors: rise of the BRICS nations, politics/culture war and a forthcoming civil war, this has been prophesised by Celestial before and I feel it’s going to grow in the coming days, weeks and months. It makes more sense to call America Mystery Babylon, because it sits on many waters, is the reigning superpower and home to many regrettable abominations like Playboy and Penthouse. While Russia might not be a stranger to porn and so is China, neither of them have exported porn magazines to the entire world the way America does. Well, as I know about the two.

It’s even more horrifying when you realise that America takes pride in its Christian heritage, yet does a lot to the contrary whilst China’s just starting to have a substantial Christian population and Russia’s recovering from years of backsliding into godless communism. America has a substantial porn industry in California, the same state that gave us information technology giants like Google and Microsoft and film conglomerates like Disney and Universal. All three work in tandem, which is unfortunately not always for the better. Celestial even said that America is apostate, or at least a bigger offender to God than one would care to realise.

In the case with a number of conservatives, they do know America’s done wrong but somebody were to point out its problems as a nation and isn’t so hung up on America themselves, they’ll be called anti-American if they did. Like conservatives know America has done wrong, but don’t want it to be held accountable for what it does. It’s like they’ve made an idol out of this nation and why it’ll be brought down to its knees, I remember someone else saying that America went from being a new Israel to a new Babylon within a few centuries of its existence as a nation-state. It degraded more quickly than Europe did, the more it became a superpower.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely, this idiom fits America’s current state. It’s grown corrupt with power, maybe not officially yet (as in widely agreed by the general, secular public). But it should be noted that LGBT activity was considered illegal, a legitimate criminal offence as it was before. These days, it’s been legalised. It’s not uncommon for a growing number of people to talk about heteropatriarchy and cisheteropatriarchy, heteronormativity and so on, the LGBT lobby has largely won the hearts of the law. But it’s calling evil good and good evil, where LGBT activity is condoned but faith in God isn’t.

It’s not progressive enough to advocate for women’s rights, disability rights, old people’s rights, anti-racism and poor people’s rights, you’d have to advocate for not only same-sex relationship rights but also transgender. I actually believe the real reason why the transgender community largely separates sex from gender is that they think sex is what you do in bed, whilst gender is who you are as a person. But historically the word sex encompassed both definitions, hence why sexism refers to gender discrimination. Battle of the sexes, as in man against woman.

Transgender used to be known as transsexuality, gender affirming surgeries used to be known as sex change operations. While America might not have been the first country to affirm transgender rights, it did popularise these things later on and openly so. America was the golden cup, then it became a public cesspit. It’s been prophesised that the US economy will decline and it’s underway at this point, it’s going to take more factors to worsen. But it’s really going to happen.

Money For Nothing

Celestial said that not only will the American economy crash real badly, but also how poverty will really grip the United States like never before in years. There was poverty in America but this time it will not only come back, but bigger and worse than ever before, perhaps never seen in a long while. There used to be a lot of slums in America and likely still exist to some extent, but there will be more poverty there due to a declining economy. It would no longer be feasible to buy the niceties of life, so people would inevitably find ways to get something.

Including some rather illegal and unethical methods of getting those, some Americans will even cross the border to get something nice. A kind of grim irony and role reversal where for years it was Mexicans that did everything to cross the border to get something nice, but now it will be Americans’ turn to do the same should the US economy decline real badly. America has been through economic crises before, but the next one will the worst where it’ll never recover at all. The American dream will be over, everybody will be disillusioned with why American life isn’t going so well.

While there have been Americans emigrating to countries for whatever reason and circumstance, a double whammy of economic crisis and a forthcoming civil war would have more Americans moving out of that country. I have even prayed for Grant Gustin and his family to move to Italy for safety, should another US civil war happen that it would be for the better if they did. That would be preferable to becoming casualties for unfortunate ideological reasons, even if it’s something fans would’ve never expected nor wanted. Admittedly, some of it’s my desire, but the need for safety should trump fan pleasure.

There will come a time when the US dollar will no longer be valuable, it will no longer be the reserve currency of the world. America will not recover from its crash, despite its best efforts to undo this. It will become poorer over time, more and more Americans will live in poverty. They will not be able to afford the niceties of life like they did before, not to mention American banks will be closed forever. Some American companies will be gone forever, some will be bankrupt forever and some survive only by being bought by foreign corporations. America’s time in the sun will be over.

Young, Dumb and Broke

When it comes to the Beast rising in power, whoever they may be, Celestial said that they will find ways to make other people penniless or without money in some way. While it is possible for some people to retain as much wealth as they can, especially when it comes to certain necessities in life, this new economic system would make other versions of communism and socialism look strangely capitalist in comparison. If I’m not mistaken, communism is an economic ideology built on socioeconomic equality where there’s little if any distinction between social classes and where wealth is shared. I could be wrong in here, but Celestial said that communism will really come to America.

There are communists in America but they will become the norm in the future, especially when the Beast comes to power that what capitalist claims America currently has will be undone or revoked. Getting rid of economic inequality is a noble goal as are middle class aspirations, but in practise this would affect certain people a lot in order to achieve it. I think people who are wealthy will be targetted the most, it has happened before in Russia due to how greedy its aristocrats were and how they got overthrown by both the poor and communists. This will happen again but on a larger scale and also in America of all countries, especially when the Beast rises to power by bringing over a version of communism there.

This will spread to the whole world when it does happen, so those will this much wealth will do anything to live in hiding. On the other hand, it’s in line with the biblical verse where people are told not to store treasures on earth where they’ll be ruined or forsaken but in heaven where they’ll be kept forever. One would only wonder if the prophecy of a new global form of communism as brought out by the Beast might have a basis in this verse alone or something, if so then it is prophetic in nature. So it would be better to trust in God’s provision by then, including things like books and fabric, over its human counterpart.

That’s even pointed out in a comment by somebody else, so while it might be possible for some countries in the future to do what both Vietnam and China were doing for some time, the Beast system would be peculiar in its ability to take away material wealth from people. There will be people opposing this system a lot in secret, not just disgruntled people but also those who want to afford basic necessities. The opposition will grow bigger once the Antichrist comes to power and finishes whatever the Beast did before, in fact much of that opposition comes from Christians themselves.

They want to be able to afford something without being interfered or reminded of by their enemies, so they will fight back even if it’s in ways nobody would’ve expected them to do. America has been the leader in almost anything and everything these days, even if its days are going to be numbered in the future, but it’s generally a world leader when it comes to the worst. Pornography, entertainment with questionable morals, questionable politics and so on. It will become a world leader in communism when the Beast comes to power, albeit a version of communism that will be unleashed to the whole world.

It is possible to fight against this by relying on God a lot, but it seems the only people who’re willing to do this are Christians. Some countries might get off better, some wouldn’t be so lucky. I have a feeling that western countries will be the unlucky ones, eastern countries would most probably follow the Chinese model of socialism more. That’s if eastern countries would also include African ones at that, so they’ll constitute the global east as there’s a global west. It would be pretty shocking to think that somebody like Barack Obama would be the Beast.

If this is true, then he’ll be US president the third time. Anyways, the Beast is something of a precursor to the Antichrist but the actual Antichrist would be far worse and more deceptive. For now, it’s the calm before the storm. For now, America is capitalist. But a lot will change in the future.

War, what is it good for?

Celestial had a series of prophecies relating to a new American civil war, such as this one, but this will kick off when the Beast System does. That’s a new political system where Barack Obama returns to power, but first Kamala Harris has to take over before he does. It would be a war that will be fought on American soil again, between conservatives and liberals where it get really bloody when it does. There are other people who have similar prophecies before, so a second American civil war is imminent and when it does arrive people will find ways to leave. Some will take their possessions and families along with them when they do escape to other countries.

Others don’t and won’t make it out alive or unscathed in any way they like, I feel a new civil war will undermine some celebrities’ plans for a world tour. Such a new civil war will tear bands and musicians apart from each other, others will be drafted into war when this happens at all. If a new American civil war does happen again at any point in time, perhaps worsened by the election of a new president like Kamala Harris, then it could have profound effects on other industries. The US entertainment industry will no longer be popular and become more introspective, as what my father put it with regards to the Russian counterpart.

It could still have legs, though not any longer in the future. When coupled with a declining economy, rising inflation and stuff then America will take a big hit as a superpower and may not recover from it anymore.

Money, Money, Money, Must Be Funny

Celestial prophesised that the US economy wouldn’t just collapse, but also end up like Zimbabwe in the sense of undergoing hyperinflation. Except that I feel the US would have it much worse as it’s home to a lot of multinational, multibillion euro conglomerates like Disney, Alphabet, Microsoft and Apple, the US dollar will no longer be the reserve currency of the world or something like that. Supposing if the US economy does collapse due to hyperinflation, she’s been saying that America is Mystery Babylon and divine retribution will come to it at any point in time.

There’s a line in the Bible regarding Mystery Babylon where nobody buys her merchandise anymore, if America is Mystery Babylon then it can be assumed when the US economy does collapse that’s when nobody’s ever going to buy US imports anymore. However for those who don’t want certain institutions and countries to go down with it, their only hope is to turn to some other country altogether. I actually prayed for companies like Meta and Alphabet to be bought by Russian companies, if the US economy collapses but that would mean God might be grooming Russia for greater things in store. She said that Russia is more righteous than America is, or at least tends to do things the right way.

Meanwhile America is on a downward spiral going from a Christian colony to something more disappointing, perhaps frustrating even because it exports and produces so much filth that no sooner or later, it has to be taken down for what it wrought onto itself and others. If the US economy does collapse especially with Americans having to turn to the cloud for monetary things or something like that, then the US dollar will finally lose its appeal and we’d see the growing importance of other currencies as we return to a multipolar world. Not just with China rising but also Russia and possibly others, including unexpected ones.

I suppose if the US economy collapses, the US dollar will no longer hold weight. Not to mention its allies would have no other choice but to turn to its rivals and enemies instead for guidance and support, because America has fallen and is never going to rise again in power even when it tries to.

Is This The World We Created?

Celestial had a prophecy where almost everything and anything will be taken away in America, where there will be food shortages, population decline brought upon it for various reasons and factors, luxury becoming so scarce as to warrant stealing goods from other countries and so on. Perhaps as a comeuppance for its sins that whatever America likes will be gone from it in some way or another, because it’s too overindulgent in many things. Overindulgent in porn, materialism, gluttony, greed and idolatry, too little time spent on cultivating a spiritual life despite calling itself a Christian nation.

I said before that once America’s luxuries are taken away in some fashion that Americans will do anything to steal, they’ll cross borders to get what they want and when they want. At least some Americans will do this where some of them will embolden themselves to go anywhere in North America to get what they want, when they want and why they want these and those. Some Americans living in the Southwest will head over to Mexico to find food and any luxury, they will do anything to get those through whatever means possible. Looting, stealing, begging and more. Any means they deem necessary when they do cross the borders to get food and clothing.

These will no longer be accessible and produced en masse in America, so Americans living near the borders with its neighbours will do the unthinkable to get those. I feel Americans living in the Northwest and Northeast will do the same but with Canada, which means if Canada has a lot of the things they missed or want then they do anything to get those. Crossing the border to get food, despite Canada doing anything to close borders to stop this. A grim irony and comeuppance for what America has done to Mexico, where this time it’s the Americans who will cross borders to get food and anything else. From a nation of Christians to a nation of thieves.

If crossing the border to steal something is out of reach for other Americans, especially those who live far away from the border states, then they might as well eat their pets and each other when they start starving. Cannibalism will become a new American way of life, as American as apple pie and baseball are. If fast food companies were to get bankrupt in America, to the point where McDonald’s is no more, then Americans would have no other choice but to make use of what’s readily available if they can’t move anywhere else. They might have to learn how to make foods using what’s there, to the best of their cooking abilities.

From riches to rags where Americans will no longer buy and wear fancy clothing, or even sexy clothing for another matter where the new American style would involve a lot of thrifting. There was a time where Americans did that with feed sack bags, so much so that this resulted in an industry catering to those creative housewives who turned feed sacks into clothing and more. This lasted up to the mid-20th century but it seems Americans have gotten really used to not making their own clothes that one day they really have to, if because resources are scarce and they have to make use of what’s there.

They’d have to learn how to sew their own clothes, although some Americans already do this so they’ll be the lucky ones when this strikes. I think this is what Celestial pointed out in a way when it comes to food, but it’s possible dressmaking will be included if resources were to become really scarce in America. Even if a good number of American companies were to remain functional and still able to churn out product after product, they will be in a precarious position where they might have to move elsewhere to remain commercially viable. In fact, a number of American companies will move elsewhere to remain viable businesses for long, but by then they will no longer be American.

Americans will no longer have a lot of the things they like, the companies they patronise either become bankrupt or head elsewhere to remain operational. It’s possible that these resources wouldn’t just be scarce but also not available in American soil, the more these companies head elsewhere to continue business as usual. Whatever happens will happen and Americans will no longer have the things they take for granted.

Now I’m Falling, Falling Fast Again

Someone else named Elizabeth Marie had a prophecy of civil war and economic collapse coming to America, similar to what Celestial’s been talking about for some time before. It seems America turns out to be not quite what people expected it to be, even if others (both secular and religious) know there’s something wrong about it. Not just about political correctness and stuff but also an impending doom, a possible economic collapse of sorts that will befall the country one day this year coupled with a civil war. I also think the civil war will be the peak of the culture war there, especially if Donald Trump himself gets shot by somebody else.

So much so that not only are his plans for a second term dashed, but his death causes a ripple effect that results in far more violence than anybody secular has ever anticipated. Then we get to her prophecy about the American economy failing big time, I asked my own father what would happen to the streaming industry if this fails and he said that it would experience a boom. People really do need to escape the pain they’re facing, though for others this comes in the form of entertainment. So they distract themselves with a lot of films and music, even though everything else has gotten so expensive there’s no way they can afford this.

That people turn to entertainment and the like when the economy first starts to fail is what he said to me or something like that, I don’t remember things that well to be honest but I feel America’s downfall is around the corner in some form. Perhaps as God’s punishment for America’s sins, that it’s Mystery Babylon in a way no other country would qualify tells us about where it’s actually heading. Whatever revival that happened there will be its last, the more the country’s sins are judged and punished accordingly. Even if it does try its best to make the most out of it, it will be too late for it to ever repent in any way. Not just because the economy will fail real badly. Something they should’ve known before.

Another problem is that Americans tend to follow the world a lot, surprisingly even American Christians do the same thing to an unfortunate extent. I remember this sermon on Energy FM (a Philippine radio station by the way), that we should do the opposite of what the world does because it’s ultimately no good. Love instead of hate, worship instead of idolatry, so on and so forth. Americans spend a lot of time consuming so much food, that it’s going to be taken away from them in some form if this nation gets judged. Food supply will run out in some way, so they might as well learn to really make food for themselves. There are already Americans who know how to make food themselves.

They will be the lucky ones who know how to feed themselves as they have the skills to pull it off, especially in such dire situations like these if this ever comes to pass at all. If there are any upshots to America’s downfall is that its own allies will learn to not only become more self-reliant but also reliant on countries they despise, but because they’ll do this out of necessity that inevitably countries like Russia and China will have their backs when they need to. It wouldn’t be something they themselves like doing at first, but because America has fallen that it’s about time they give both China and Russia a chance. If because these two will really rise to power and defeat America in the future.

Weird to think America will be defeated, but this will really happen in the future.

Decline of a superpower

Celestial had this prophecy about America’s economy going into a severe slump, with the entertainment industry being the exception. Well the exception that proves the rule, since it would initially get off easily due to overseas box office sales and the like. But even that will change over time, once the economy catches up with it. Not just that but also how Americans will actually start saving up on resources and making the most of them, though I could be misremembering in here.

If the American economy does decline a lot, then it would make sense to seek new allies as America’s unable to support us any way we like anymore. Perhaps it’s best to reconcile ourselves to China, since it would be one of the nations that will be blessed by the Lord. This is likely why it’s on its way to power, along with a growing Christian population. The problem is that we tend to look at whatever that’s external, we think that’s true of who they are internally. Like how we think America can do no wrong.

But in reality the American dream will be over in some way, people would have to emigrate out of safety. America will no longer be safe for them anymore as it will be embroiled in a civil war, not to mention it will have a growing number of homeless people in the years to come. It’s already happening to some extent these days, with some people sleeping rough because they can’t pay rent or something. She even said in another prophecy that American agriculture’s actually in decline, but many sources are too timid to admit this.

So Americans get distracted with show business, until the problems grow to the point where they can’t be ignored anymore. I also think most Filipinos seem too beholden of America, regardless of whatever legitimate fault we could find with this country. Not just the anti-Asian racism (which has likely affected our stateside relatives), but also how white Europeans and their scions actively displaced indigenous people. We find fault with China, but not America even though that’s not how God actually sees things.

Otherwise we’d see them for what they really are. As what this website says, if America does so many sinful things despite being a Christian nation it will be judged more harshly than one that isn’t (China for instance). If this is true and if it were to be believed at all, China doesn’t seem so bad after all and so is Russia. There was a resurgence of Christianity in Russia after the Soviet Union’s fall, whereas America appears to be on the opposite direction. I could say the same for Western Europe really.

As a Christian nation, it’s best that the Philippines should stop following America otherwise it too would be dragged into the same mess America’s in. I even think it’s much better for the Philippines to follow China more instead, since it’s nowhere as grievous as America currently is. Perhaps if we follow what God wants this nation to do, it’s more sensible to be closer to China as to avoid being chastised along with America. I feel this is the same reason why Britain and Canada should ally more with Russia instead, these two aren’t as bad as America has gotten.

If Russia does become a superpower again and then take over much of the western world, then America’s time as a superpower will be over for good. Whatever American company that survives or continues to exist in any form we recognise will become Russian by default, especially when America does become a colony of Russia in the foreseeable future. As for American entertainment, at first it will appear to be okay as it does well overseas. But eventually the economy catches up with it, so American entertainment becomes less popular internationally over time.

I don’t think American influence will go away immediately, but it will diminish over time with older people being more likely to remember America more fondly than their children and grandchildren ever would. Philippine geeks would have to take note, as American entertainment will no longer be popular anymore. Better consume whatever China produces and will produce, as China will become the Philippines’s biggest ally in the future. Even Celestial knew this when she said that both China and Russia will become beloved, something Americans would be shocked to hear.

But because America has sinned so much and never repented in any way, that its comeuppance will happen one way or another.
