AMERICA CAPTURES (KIDNAPS) VENEZUELA'S PRESIDENT AND IS RULING BY THE FORCE OF POWER, NOT BY LAW - REVELATION 13
NEWS UPDATE - 8th January 2026
Revelation 13:12 ...'And
he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him.'
"US President Donald Trump has claimed that the United States has carried out a 'large-scale strike' against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro. The abduction of a foreign leader by another state is a serious violation of international law." (source)
What other nation could do something like this and get away with it without any repercussions? America truly is a nation that stands apart from the rest of the world in this sense, and God told us that in the end times such a nation would exist and would rule, not by the rule of law, but by the rule of power.
Revelation 13:11-18 ...'And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the POWER of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had POWER to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had POWER to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.'
There is no nation on earth that has the influential power that America has. And the basic principle we are seeing from the American government is "do as we say or we will destroy you!" That is 'speaking as a dragon.' That was the basic tenet of Papal Rome - the first beast of Revelation 13. And it is the same principle we are seeing from America who, as Revelation 13 says, would 'exercise all the power of the first beast', of Papal Rome. And what will America do according to Revelation 13? It will form an image to Papal Rome - a church/state union, with the church directing the state power and will cause the world to take the mark of Papal Rome - to bow to her SUNday sabbath rest and her false trinity god. And anyone who does not bow to her dictates will be sought out to be killed, as Revelation 13 says. In other words - "do as we say, or we will destroy you."
Friends, we need a REAL, LIVING, TRUE faith in Jesus Christ to be able to stand through the final mark of the beast test and time of trouble coming. Please prepare! Please get ready by putting on the WHOLE armor of God so that we can stand in that day, no matter what the government or others threaten us with. And we must seek the TRUTH, so that we are not deceived by the final strong delusion coming.
