“Remember this, and show yourselves men; Recall to mind, O you transgressors. Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel will stand, and I will do all My pleasure,’” Isaiah 46:8-10
To “…declare the end from the beginning…” is to declare the end result of something from before it even happens. For example, our Lord has declared the end of the government of the beast thousands of years ago, from the very beginning He has declared the destruction of this present world system. That is what the book of Revelations is all about, declaring the end of the system of the beast from its very beginning.
There is no other God, none that is like Him, although Satan tries to be like God in every way, as described in the post on Isaiah 46:5-7.
Transgressors are people who have no belief in the Living God, a God who is able to speak a word of prophecy and cause it to come about. For example, all unbelievers and believers of this world can see that global warming is in the world, and it happens to be the Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9. The Lord declared it thousands of years ago before it happened, and says to all transgressors and to us, “My counsel will stand, and I will do all My pleasure,”.
Below, the Lord specifically speaks of calling a “…bird of prey from the east…”, and that “bird” he called by name before the “bird” was even formed in the womb. The name of that “bird” was Cyrus.
“Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes My counsel, from a far country. Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it.” Isaiah 46:11
The “bird of prey from the east”, whom the Lord God called, was Cyrus, as quoted, “Who raised up one from the east? Who in righteousness called him to His feet? Who gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? Who gave them as the dust to his sword, as driven stubble to his bow?…Who has performed and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? ‘I, the Lord, am the first; And with the last I am He.’” Isaiah 41:2, 4 Click for post on Isaiah 41:1-7
God raised up Cyrus, a Persian Gentile and warmonger who lived by the sword, as a demonstration that He is able to use the powers of this world as an instrument in His hand. Cyrus was used/anointed to conquer the Babylonian Empire and to free the Israelites from captivity to the Babylonians. “Thus says the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—To subdue nations before him…For Jacob My servant’s sake, and Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. Isaiah 45:1, 4 Click for the post on Isaiah 45:1-7

The prophecy about Cyrus happened before he was even born. Cyrus was around his early sixties when he conquered the Babylonian Empire and freed the Israelites from Babylonian captivity. The Lord called him by name, Cyrus, before he was even born. That is why the Lord says, “Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it.”
Today, the word of God continues to be fulfilled for all the world to see. Below is a list of prophecies that have been fulfilled since about the 1940s. The Lord continues to declare, “Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it.” Also, our Lord Jesus Christ speaks in Matthew 24 of the signs of the times. Click for posts from Matthew 24.
- 1940s: Airplanes are mentioned in Daniel 8:5-7. The ability to travel overseas by airplane is related to the ushering in of the global system of the beast. Airplanes capable of flying overseas began around 1920’s, but the airplanes talked about in Daniel 8 were created around 1940 [related to WW2].
- 1945: The global government of the United Nations was established immediately after WW2, which brought the government of the beast with it, as described in Daniel 8 and also Revelation 17.
- 1945 thereabouts. The beast that has power over physiology to give people what to think, feel, do, and say is here. That beast gives breath/life to the image of the beast to speak by speaking/living through people in every city around the world. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark, number, name of the beast by what they say and do. That is described in Revelation 13. That beast is the power center of the global government of the beast.
The only place this is mentioned is in the Bible, so of course there are no public records of its beginnings. This is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 The “him” in this verse is the “man of sin”. Click here for a post on the “man of sin”. “….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’” Revelations 2:24-25 - 1948: The Jewish people have been gathered to the State of Israel in 1948, where God unleashes the fury of His judgment on them, as described in Ezekiel 22:19-20, Ezekiel 36:22, and Ezekiel 20:34.
- 1950s through 1970s: The seven continents were not discovered until research revealed them through the 1950s and 1970s. The beast, in the book of Revelations, is known to be on seven continents involving ten kingdoms [making it a global presence]. We are living in the days of the global presence of the beast.
- 1988 or thereabouts: Global warming is here and is the Fourth Plagued mentioned in Revelation 16:8-9. The more powerful the United Nations becomes as the one world government the hotter and more intense the effects of global warming becomes. Global warming is instrumental in destroying the power center of the beast [Fifth Plague], rendering the world government and its global culture powerless. At this time, the beast with power over physiology to give people what to think, feel, say, and do will not be functioning. That leads to the Battle of Armageddon in the Sixth Plague, followed by the Day of the Lord and the return of Jesus Christ. Click for a full post on the Seven Plagues.
- The post on Daniel 12:4-10 provides a checklist of fulfilled prophecies, 1) Has knowledge been increased nowadays? Yes. 2) Are many people traveling? Yes. 3) Has God’s people been scattered? Yes. 4) Does the wise understand the book of Daniel? Yes.
- 2025: The President of the United States signed into law a bill to make the USA the “crypto-capital” of the world, called the “GENIUS Act”. This lays the foundation for the cashless society. Click here for an article on the signing of the “GENIUS” ACT. “For before these days, there were no wages for man nor any hire for beast; There was no peace from the enemy for whoever went out or came in; For I set all men, everyone, against his neighbor.” Zechariah 8:10 The phrase, “for before these days”, refers to the days leading up to global tribulation. Click here for a post on Zachariah 8:10.
- Also, Jesus Christ has come in the flesh 2000 years ago to fulfill the prophecies of the Bible.
- Today’s global government of the beast, operating through the United Nations, is the last government this planet will ever know. None other will come after it. Today’s world system ushers in global warming [Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9], the Battle of Armageddon [Sixth Plague of Revelations 16:12-17] the Day of the Lord as described in Zachariah 14, the return of Jesus Christ [Seventh trumpet of Revelations 11:15-18]. Click here for a post on the beast’s ruling on this earth for “42 months” from Revelations 13:5-6.
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon.
Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.’”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
