(Official White House Photos)

Prior to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris taking office, I wrote a variety of warnings, predictions, and at least one speculation about what would (and would not) happen during their first term of office.

Each of the numbered items below are verbatim quotes from me. They are then followed by information supporting them being at least partially fulfilled.

1. WARNING: The Biden-Harris team is interested in increasing debt, which the Bible condemns as a curse (Deuteronomy 28:15,44). They intend stimulus and other projects that are expected to increase the debt of the U.S.A. Increasing national debt will lead to destruction at the appointed time of the end (Habakkuk 2:3–8). They will not be able to reverse enough of the debt to stop Habakkuk 2:3-8 from being  fulfilled.

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLE:

Debt has risen according to official government data:

• January 19, 2021, $27,752,835,868,445.35, the date Trump-Pence leave office, replaced the next day by Biden-Harris.
• January 19, 2024, $34,072,342,032,939.15, after 3 years of the Biden-Harris Administration.

And it has gone up over one trillion dollars more since. According to the latest report from the US Treasury, the official US debt was $35,215,900,370,093.07 as of August 29, 2024 (see   https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/debt-to-the-penny/debt-to-the-penny). Even the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been voicing concerns about US debt (see post dated June 28, 2024: VOA: IMF says US needs to tackle debt; USA Today: Ballooning U.S. budget deficit is killing the American dream; COGwriter: Debt will be part of the USA’s worst nightmare).

2. WARNING: Inflation will eventually hit the U.S.A. extremely hard.

PARTIAL FULFILLMENT:

Posted June 10, 2022: AP: US inflation hit a new 40-year high last month of 8.6%; COGwriter: Much more food price inflation is coming

Posted July 13, 2022: USA inflation hit 9.1%, German food prices up 12.1%; Could the third horseman of the Apocalypse have begun his ride?

Posted December 14, 2022: Inflation down, but vegetable prices up 38.1%?

Posted April 10, 2024: ZH: “Obviously, This Is Very Bad News For Biden”: Wall Street Reacts To Today’s Red Hot Inflation Print

Inflation will ultimately get much worse, despite recent reductions in the rate of inflation.

3. WARNING: Because they do not put much stock in biblical prophecies, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not expected to truly understand the threat that Europe poses and are expected to enable its rise. … The Biden-Harris Administration is expected to promote European military spending which would help enable the rise of the King of the North/Beast power who will be in league with the final Antichrist.

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLE:

In addition to promoting increased military spending by the Europeans, on September 21, 2021, Joe Biden endorsed European defense separate from NATO (https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2021/09/biden-just-gave-france-something-more-valuable-submarine-contract/185560/)–this will not end well for the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39).

4. WARNING: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris both claim to be Christians, yet support restrictions on religious speech and actions, while specifically pushing for a sexual agenda that the Bible says ends in death and destruction (cf. Romans 1:18-32; Jude 7).

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLES: Here are links to some items that document that:

Posted January 22, 2021: ‘Outrage After Biden Signs Executive Order Pushing Schools To Include Transgender Athletes In Girls’ Sports’

Posted February 1, 2021: AP, Mike Gendron, and DR: The first 12 days of Biden-Harris Administration.

Posted: March 21, 2022: VOA: Biden to Mark Transgender Day of Visibility With New Actions

Posted June 1, 2023: The LGBTQ+ (and Joe Biden) Push ‘Pride Month’

5. WARNING: Consider also that if some are insulted because their sins are called out, at least some associated with the Biden-Harris team want to make that a crime! … The incoming Biden-Harris Administration has made some statements suggesting they are not fully in agreement with the right of free speech. A “famine” of the word is prophesied (Amos 8:11) and it is possible that they could authorize steps that could lead to that.

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLE: In a tweet dated June 16, 2022, Joe Biden stated:

As I’ve said before to the LGBTQI+ community: Your President has your back. Yesterday, I signed an Executive Order that will protect the community from hateful attacks, use the full force of the government to prevent “conversion therapy,” advance equality for families, and more. https://www.facebook.com/POTUS/posts/as-ive-said-before-to-the-lgbtqi-community-your-president-has-your-back-yesterda/474294841364151/

Also notice:

Posted April 28, 2022: WND: Biden DHS creates unit to police speech

While that DHS unit did not go through quite as planned, it was another move to restrict religious speech. Also, since the Bible teaches that homosexuals can change (1 Corinthians 6:9-11), Joe Biden’s tweet pledging to use “use the full force of the government to prevent ‘conversion therapy,’ ” is opposed to religious freedom of speech.

6. WARNING: the promotion of more and more aspects of immorality … may also cause weather problems. … Unless there is national repentance, a Biden-Harris Administration will not positively change the true moral direction of the U.S.A. There will be more odd and berserk weather.

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLES:

Posted December 27, 2021: ‘Cost of weather disasters surged in 2021’

Posted July 13, 2023: MS: We Are Starting To Experience The Apocalyptic Weather Of The End Times

Posted September 12, 2023: AP: US sets record for billion-dollar weather disasters in a year — and there’s still 4 months to go

Posted August 16, 2024: CBS: July was hottest on record, NOAA says, with 2024 likely to be warmest year to date

7. WARNING: The Biden-Harris Administration wants to increase Islamic immigration into the U.S.A. The Bible prophesies “There shall be terror within” (Deuteronomy 32:25). The Bible also specifically warns of problems from Arabic peoples in the end times (Psalm 83:3-8). Some Syrians, including some already in the U.S.A., may take terroristic actions as that too is consistent with biblical prophecy (cf. Isaiah 9:8-9, 11-12).

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLES: Increasing Islamic immigration into the USA has happened. Here are links to three items documenting that:

Posted January 30, 2021: ‘Biden Extends, Expands Deportation Protection for Syrians in US’–a terrorism risk?

Posted October 21, 2021: CBS: Biden administration to allow private groups to sponsor Afghan evacuees; COGwriter: Terrorist risk?

Posted August 18, 2021: Potential terrorists? USA wants Afghani refugees, France’s Macron says EU should not.

Posted February 16, 2024: 2 million suspected terrorists illegally in the USA?

8. WARNING: Now, we would expect trade negotiations with Europe to continue and some type of agreements will happen. … Yet, misunderstandings and differences of opinion will occur.

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLES:

Posted November 7, 2022: CNBC: EU says it has serious concerns about Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act

Posted December 3, 2022: DW: German finance minister warns of US trade war; BBC: Finnish PM Sanna Marin … Europe must make sure it is “building those capabilities when it comes to European defence …”

Posted June 4, 2023: EU and USA held trade meeting, but …

Posted July 5, 2023: ‘EU parliament trade chief calls for tariffs on US hydrogen’

9. PREDICTION: WWIII absolutely will not happen before 2025.

PARTIAL FULFILLMENT:

World War Three has not started and 2025 is only a few months away.

10. PREDICTION: Gold will set records in U.S. dollar terms.

MULTIPLE FULFILLMENTS:

Posted March 6, 2024: ZH: ‘We Have Liftoff!’ – Spot Gold Takes Out Record High

Posted April 8, 2024: Gold hit record high–‘What’s behind China’s gold-buying spree?’

Posted August 18, 2024: ‘Gold All Time Highs: Is $3000 Next?’

Posted August 21, 2024: Gold lifts off to another record as the US dollar is worth less; What about silver?

11. WARNING: The Obama-Biden Administration seemed supportive of the type of confederation that will lead to the formation of the final King of the South of biblical prophecy (Daniel 11:40-43). A Biden-Harris Administration is expected to do the same, if not more.

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLES:

The White House “FACT SHEET: The United States Strengthens Cooperation with Middle East Partners to Address 21st Century Challenges”  dated July 16, 2022 states:

President Biden affirmed the United States’ commitment to accelerate ongoing work with its allies and partners in the Middle East to integrate and enhance security cooperation. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/07/16/fact-sheet-the-united-states-strengthens-cooperation-with-middle-east-partners-to-address-21st-century-challenges/

The White House “FACT SHEET: The Biden-⁠Harris Administration’s National SecurityStrategy”:

President Biden’s National Security Strategy outlines how the United States will advance our vital interests and pursue a free, open, prosperous, and secure world.  … A more integrated Middle East that empowers our allies and partners will advance regional peace and prosperity, https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/10/12/fact-sheet-the-biden-harris-administrations-national-security-strategy/

12. WARNING: Humans should eat what is good (cf. Isaiah 55:2). Joe Biden, like others before him, has made statements supporting the use of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) to be consumed as foods [Farm Bureau. Trump v Biden: Where do the candidates stand on GMOs and other key food issues? Genetic Literacy Project, November 17, 2020]. Increased reliance on GMOs by the United States puts the nation at major risk for nearly complete crop failures. The Bible warns that famines (Matthew 24:7) and food shortages (Revelation 6:5-6) are coming and the Biden-Harris Administration may further help set the stage for this.

PARTIAL FULFILLMENT EXAMPLE:

The White House “Fact Sheet: Biden-⁠Harris Administration’s Actions to Advance American Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing” dated June 25, 2024, promotes investment in GMO foods as part of it biotechnology and biomanufacturing goals (see https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2024/06/25/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administrations-actions-to-advance-american-biotechnology-and-biomanufacturing/).

13. WARNING: By focusing too much on threats from China and almost always considering the Europeans as some type of allies, a Biden-Harris Administration is currently not expected to reverse the Asian ‘pivot’ strategy of the Obama-Biden Administration.

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLES:

Posted September 16, 2021: China NOT pleased with AUKUS alliance; France also upset

Posted November 20, 2021: ZH: China Deems Australia ‘No Longer Peaceful’, But Now “Saber Wielding” After Sub Deal; CNN: The EU realizes it can’t rely on America for protection.

Posted June 8, 2022: ‘Cambodia, China Revamp Naval Base, Stoking US fears ‘

Posted July 24, 2022: ‘Milley: China more aggressive, dangerous to US, allies’

Posted October 28, 2022: VOA: China Remains Top Threat in New US National Defense Strategy; COGwriter: USA promotion of perversion will not end well

Posted July 23, 2023: ‘U.S., Allies Hold Record-Setting Military Exercise in Australia in Message Aimed at China’

Posted July 29, 2023: ABC: US and Australia deepen military ties to counter China

So no, the Asia pivot strategy has not been reversed, but to a real degree continued and is being pushed.

14. WARNING: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris believe their policies will lead to more peace. We will one day hear proclamations of false peace and safety and the Bible warns repeatedly that end-time destruction will follow those declarations …

PARTIAL FULFILLMENT EXAMPLES:

The loss of Afghanistan, Russia’s “Special Military Operation” into Ukraine, the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack and the resultant Israel-Hamas war, and Iran’s bombing of Israel in 2014, all suggest that more peace did not come under the Biden-Harris Administration.

15. WARNING: Joe Biden has a history of making inaccurate statements about himself.

CONFIRMATION: CNN posted the following:

Fact check: A look at Biden’s first year in false claims

January 20, 2022

When President Joe Biden passingly said in a voting rights speech last week that he had been “arrested” in the context of the civil rights movement — even suggesting this had happened more than once — it was a classic Biden false claim: an anecdote about his past for which there is no evidence, prompted by a decision to ad-lib rather than stick to a prepared text, resulting in easily avoidable questions about his honesty.

Biden’s imaginary or embellished stories about his own history were the most memorable falsehoods of his first year in office. They were not, however, the only ones. The President also made multiple false claims about important policy matters, notably including three subjects that occupied much of his time: the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, the economy and the Covid-19 pandemic. And Biden was incorrect on numerous occasions when ad-libbing about a wide assortment of facts and figures — sometimes in a way that appeared inadvertent, but other times in a way that helped him make a political point.

Biden distracted from his voting rights message with the baseless claim last week, which he had made before, about having been arrested during a civil rights protest; in some of the previous versions of the story, he had merely claimed a police officer had taken him home from a protest. (There is evidence Biden participated in some civil rights activities in his youth but no record of any arrest.)

And Biden told two different inaccurate stories while trying to emphasize his connection to the Jewish community.

At a September event in honor of the High Holy Days, Biden told Jewish leaders that he remembered “spending time at” and “going to” Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue, the site of an antisemitic massacre in 2018; he had spoken by phone to the synagogue’s rabbi in 2019 but never went. At a Hanukkah event in December, Biden claimed that late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir had invited him to meet with her during the Six-Day War of 1967 (he actually met with her weeks before the Yom Kippur War six years later) and, more significantly, that she had wanted him to be “the liaison between she and the Egyptians about the Suez, and so on and so forth.”

There is zero evidence Meir ever wanted to use a 30-year-old rookie US senator as a “liaison” with a major adversary. https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/20/politics/fact-check-biden-false-claims-first-year-2021/index.html

The list of false claims by CNN was much longer than posted here. So, yes, that warning has also been confirmed.

See also the post of March 8, 2024 from FactCheck.org: Joe Biden’s ‘State of the Union,’ fact checking, and scripture.

16. WARNING: Like certain others, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are helping to fulfill the following prophecy for the “last days”:

¹ But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: ² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³ unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, ⁴ traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, ⁵ having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! ⁶ For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, ⁷ always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:1-7)

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLES: Regarding just Kamala Harris being a slanderer, notice the following from FactCheck.org:

FactChecking Vice President Kamala Harris

July 23, 2024

In about 48 hours, Vice President Kamala Harris went from No. 2 on the Democratic presidential ticket to the presumptive presidential nominee, after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her. Here, we fact-check some of Harris’ recent speeches — before and after Biden dropped out:

• Harris repeated the claim that former President Donald Trump “intends to cut Social Security and Medicare,” even though he did not attempt to cut either retirement program when he was president, and he has said that he will not cut them in a second term.

• She referred to Project 2025 — a conservative plan for deeply cutting and overhauling the federal government — as Trump’s “extreme Project 2025 agenda.” Trump has disavowed the project, which he described as “seriously extreme.”

• The vice president repeated one of her favorite talking points when she claimed “Donald Trump openly vowed, if reelected, that he will be a dictator on Day 1.” He said he was joking when he said he wouldn’t be a dictator “except for Day 1.”

• Harris left the misleading impression that Trump was to blame for the loss of “tens of thousands” of manufacturing jobs. The U.S. added more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs under Trump — until the economic effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic reversed all those job gains. https://www.factcheck.org/2024/07/factchecking-vice-president-kamala-harris/

Note: This is not a defense of Donald Trump, but is shown to point out that Kamala Harris is a slanderer. I would also characterize Joe Biden’s (see Joe Biden signs executive order to increase abortion access) and her strident abortion advocacy (e.g. see Arizona court recognizes abortion ban–what should, ‘My body, my choice’ really mean?) as “headstrong, haughty, … brutal,” etc. Support of “pride events” by her and Joe Biden (e.g. The LGBTQ+ (and Joe Biden) Push ‘Pride Month’) are also consistent with the warning against being “proud.”

17. WARNING: Divisive statements from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are expected to result in division and protests.

FULFILLMENT EXAMPLES:

Posted November 21, 2021: Kyle Rittenhouse, Riots, and a Nation Divided

Posted March 3, 2024: WND: Stunning poll reveals more than 100 million Americans expect civil war within 5 years

18. WARNING: Joe Biden has made statements supporting losses of privacy, increased surveillance, and favoring unlimited government control. This type of thing will be exploited by 666 of Revelation 13:16-18.

PARTIAL FULFILLMENT:

The European Union’s ‘Digital Services Act’ (e.g. see EU ‘Digital Services Act’ in place: Yes, it is a prelude to the ‘famine of the word’) as well as the Biden-Harris Administration’s look into having a Central Bank Digital Currency (‘FedNow, the Precursor to the Digital Dollar CBDC, Has Launched’) is consistent with that warning.

19. SPECULATION: In October of 2020 Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi proposed changes to the 25^th Amendment to the US Constitution to make it easier for Congress to remove a president. if the president was incapable of the job. Some suspect, because of Joe Biden’s health and age, this was done to help pave the way for a Kamala Harris presidency.

Speaker Pelosi said the proposal was NOT directed towards Donald Trump, who then made the following statements about it:

Nancy Pelosi is looking at the 25th Amendment in order to replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris … The Dems want that to happen fast because Sleepy Joe is out of it!!! … this 25th Amendment, I think they put it in so they can get Kamala in [^{Bowden E, et al. Trump says Pelosi’s 25th Amendment bill is about replacing Biden with Harris. NY Post, October 9, 2020}].

I expect that Kamala Harris will either be the de facto president, possibly being the actual president of the U.S.A. as Joe Biden has issues that will lead to that. …

Kamala Harris is also female and looks to be one who is fulfilling the following prophecy in these end times:

¹² As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths. (Isaiah 3:12)

While certainly there are places for women (Judges chapters 4 & 5) and Gentiles (2 Chronicles 36:22) in leadership positions, Isaiah does not suggest that this should be looked at as a great blessing.

PARTIAL FULFILLMENT:

In 2021, Joe Biden invoked the 25th amendment to temporarily transfer his office to Kamala Harris (see https://lawandcrime.com/politics/president-biden-invokes-25th-amendment-temporarily-transfers-power-to-vp-kamala-harris/).

Furthermore, in 2024, Joe Biden knew that some in his party were looking to invoke the 25th amendment to possibly push him out of the presidential election. While Joe Biden has remained in office, on July 21, 2024 he dropped out the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris (see ZH: Biden Drops Out Of 2024 Race But Will Remain Through Term; Endorses Harris As Resignation Calls Grow). It is reasonable to suspect that one reason that Joe Biden selected her as his replacement was because he valued views she provided him to rule the nation.

In a real sense, Kamala Harris is now the official ruler of the Democratic party and she is also a type of de facto president as Joe Biden is what is termed a “lame duck” (e.g. see Joe Biden faces uncertainties of ‘lame duck’ administration).

Those are at least partially consistent with my expect speculation.

There was also one other item that I wrote on the day they came into office or the next day (no later than 01/21/21):

20. WARNING: Iran may decide to strike out against Israel, and likely Jerusalem (cf. Isaiah 22:7-8) if it determines that it should. If it is frustrated with the Biden-Harris Administration policies or delays, that may very well be a factor in it taking prophesied military action.

PARTIAL FULFILLMENT SUPPORT AND EXAMPLES:

Posted December 21, 2022: EN: Iran nuclear deal is ‘dead’, claims US President Joe Biden

Posted April 13, 2024: Iran launches first phase in its biggest direct attack against Israel

Posted July 31, 2024: ZH: Ayatollah Says ‘Severe’ Revenge Coming For Israel Killing Hamas Leader On Iranian Soil

While Iran sent out missiles towards Jerusalem, the prophesied “great damage” did not happen in April 2024, but it has signaled its intent to cause great damage to hit the nation of Israel.

Biblical prophecies will be fulfilled and political and other leaders in the USA are helping to fulfill some of them.

In the case of the Biden-Harris Administration and timing, numerous warnings and predictions have thus far, at least partially, come to pass.

As those in the CCOG are aware, I am NOT a voter nor a Democrat nor a Republican –I am a non-partisan Christian looking for the return of Jesus and the establishment of the Kingdom of God.

Let me add that, a while back, I also put together a list of 20 warnings that Donald Trump at least partially fulfilled. Details are in the article: Donald Trump in Prophecy.

For a general warning, understand that the Bible shows that destruction is coming to the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39; Habakkuk 2:6-9; Isaiah 10:5-11) as well as its British-descended allies (cf. Isaiah 17:3a, Daniel 8:24-25a) See also our free online book: Lost Tribes and Prophecies: What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?

The Anglo-American nations need repentance (cf. Hosea 11:3a, 5b-7), the return of Jesus, and the coming Kingdom of God.

As far as other warnings, predictions, speculations that have had at least partial confirmation, see also Church of God Leaders on Prophets and/or Does the CCOG have the confirmed signs of Acts 2:17-18?

Mozambique, Malawi, and Kenya

On Monday, pastor Radson Mulozowa sent the following:

Greetings from Malawi and Mozambique church

We are all fine by the grace of God

Let me report that I managed to communicate with Augustine and am planning to visit him soon so that we can discuss much.

It’s very far from my home

After the meeting him I will invite him to come to the feast of Tabernacle

Thanks for the funds for food and iron sheet.May God bless you for the support

After meeting with leaders about the funds

All the leaders agree that we might use the funds to buy iron sheet for MISEU 4 and kachere church in Mozambique since they have managed to build the church hall and what was the iron sheet

During the discussion the leaders agreed that really there is hunger in Mozambique and Malawi but they assured me that the best decision first was for the brethren to have a safe place of worship when the rains comes in October

They further told me that God is able to provide us food but the hall is more important than food

Last year these brethren were in great problem of keeping Sabbath during rainy season

So we agreed to use funds for iron sheet for two church

Attached is a photo of the bulks of iron sheet for Mozambique

Again thanks for your support and prayers as the work is growing

Best regards

Radson

We sent funds to assist with the hunger in Malawi and Mozambique on yesterday.

In addition to Malawi, we also expect to have a Feast of Tabernacles site in Mozambique this year.

Evangelist Evans Ochieng sent the following list of Feast of Tabernacles sites for Kenya this year:

1-Kisii

2- Mombasa

3-Motosiet

4- Chilani

5- Bomet

7- Mao

8- Molo

9- Njoro

10- Kiromuok

That is a lot of sites, but we do have thousands of people in Kenya.

Church services for the Feast of Tabernacles in 2024 are to begin the evening of October 16th and run (including the Last Great Day) until sunset October 24th.

Here is a link to our planned Feast of Tabernacles’ Sites for 2024.
