Unlocked secret Bible prophecies concerning the destiny of the USA
By TRUONG TIEN DAT
A former Senator of S. Vietnam
God will transform Russia into His Iron Rod. – Russia will attack and defeat the US. – The West (US, England, France, etc.) will be wiped out of the world map. – The Communists will conquer the world and then will be annihilated by God Himself.
According to prophet Isaiah, God will transform Russia into an Iron Rod that He will use to chastise an atheist nation (Isaiah 10: 5-6). Isaiah did not identify this atheist nation. Two centuries later, however, Ezekiel gave a long prophecy in his 2 chapters 38&39 where he described the Great War launched by Russia against the USA “in the latter days” (Ezek. 38:16). Russia has been identified by its former name ROSH, coming from “remote parts of the north” (Ezek. 38:2,15). The USA has been identified in 2 ways:
1). The people of the US is described as “has been gathered from many nations” (Ezek. 38:8). This land is now the home land of the people coming from all the nations of the world.
2). The territory of the US is described by Ezekiel as “the land that had been a continual waste” (Ezek.38:8). As a matter of fact, before Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492, this land had been a continual waste.
I. Why God called the USA an atheist nation?
From the beginning, this country had been a Christian nation, because the Founding Fathers had declared that Jesus Christ is “Our Lord” (Article VII, Constitution of 1787). A few years later, in 1791, however, the First Congress, with the First Amendment, had separated this country from “the religion,“ i.e., from Christianity. It meant that this country is no more Christian. This un-Christian spirit slowly grew up to become anti-Christian, and then to transform this country into an atheist nation. There are hundreds of lawsuits in which the atheists, the ACLU members, have triumphantly defeated the Christians. For an example, Hon. Roy Moore, Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, had been sued by the ACLU before the federal court for installing a stone monument of the Ten Commandments at the court house. The federal district court ordered him to remove. He refused. Because he argued that the Ten Commandments of God are the fundamental principle of the laws of this country. The federal district court removed him from his office. He appealed to the US Supreme Court in Washington. This court, in a decision of October 2, 2004, had rejected his appeal. He had been defeated by the atheists. Also defeated together with him is God Himself who had been refused to grant one square meter to reside in this land. Also this Supreme Court had ruled that the people of this land have freedom of abortion (Roe v. Wade, 1973). Thus, the USA has become officially an atheist nation. Therefore, the chastisement by an iron rod as foretold by Isaiah will certainly come.
II. The formation of the Iron Rod – Origin of the Communists
As a matter of fact, the Iron Rod of God has been formed and become a super-power. It is Russia, it is an unfriendly nation of the US. It is the mother land of all the Communists. From the Bible, we can discover thousands of prophecies concerning the Communist Empire. Following is a brief summary of the most important prophetic messages concerning this new empire.
1. Communist empire is a monster – Its characteristics
Never before this monster existed. It is extremely powerful. It is extremely pitiless. It is extremely deceitful. It has wings like a bird to fly in the air: it is the Red Dragon (Rev.12:3). It can swim like a fish in water: it is the Leviathan, a ferocious sea dragon (Job 41:1-34). It has claws of a lion, a blood-thirsty lion (Is. 5:26-30; Ps.57:4-5; Nah. 2:11-12). It has venom of a cobra (Ps. 140:1-3; Deut. 32:24). It is deceitful, a master of deceit (Job 15:35; Is. 21:2; 24:16). It ignores justice or human dignity. It is different from other empires in history: in former times, other empires erected walls to protect their citizens against foreign invaders; communist empire constructed fences and walls to keep their citizens from escaping; those who tried to run away will be killed or put in jail; therefore, a communist country is a vast prison (Hab. 1:9-10;14-17; Lam.3:5-7; Obad. 14).
2. Origin of the Communists
As human beings, communists have also bodily origin and spiritual origin.
Bodily origin: a communist party is a criminal gang
Prophet Job gave us a prophecy concerning the origin of the communists: they are selected by God among the worst elements of the lowliest class of society. God put them onto royal throne to become the rulers of the land. They will rise up like a storm (Job 30:1-15; Jer. 23:19; 25:32).
Spiritual origin of the Communists: they are Satanic agents
St. John wrote that he saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. He seized Satan and chained him for a thousand years in the abyss. After that, Satan will be set loose from his prison for a short time. He will go out to deceive the nations scattered over the whole world. He will gather and form a great army whose number is like the sand of the seashore. Together with Gog and Magog, they will surround the camp of the people of God, but fire will come down from heaven and devour them (Rev. 20:1-9).
The key to unlock this mysterious prophecy is “Gog and Magog.” These two names juxtaposed St John’s prophecy to chapter 38 of Ezekiel, where we can easily identify Magog and Gog. According to Ezekiel, Magog is a tribe within the Russian Federation. The peoples of this federation reside in the “uttermost parts of the North”. Their armies are under the command of a general named Gog. They will launch a surprise attack against the USA in “one of the latter years” (Ezek. 38:1-16).
With combined prophecies of St John and Ezekiel, we can easily identify the Communist Russian armies as Satanic agents. And the Communists in other countries such as Korea, China and Vietnam etc. all are Satanic agents also. They inherit the same characteristics of Satan: they are extremely ruthless.
III. The chastisement using the Iron Rod
The attack of the Russian Communists against the USA “in one of the latter years” is obviously the chastisement of God using His Iron Rod. It will be the Nuclear World War III, in which the Communists will move “like a storm” (Ezek. 38:9). It will be a surprise attack. It will happen at “the least expect moment”, when the Americans “are at rest” (Ezek. 38:11). It means that it will be on a Sunday, because the Jєωιѕн Sabbath is a “day of rest.” It will happen when the Americans enjoy their Sunday dinner (Is. 21:5).
1. Treacherous scheme of Russia.
According to Ezekiel, before attacking the US, the Communist Russians will perform an extremely treacherous scheme, faking their disintegration, hoaxing their weakness (Ezek. 38:10; Is. 21:2). As a matter of fact, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1939 was evidently the evil scheme of the Russian Communists to deceive the people of the West, lulling them into believing that the Communist Empire has been disintegrated, posing no more threat to their lives.
We should keep in mind that the main cause of the Great Chastisement of God is the amount of the sins of the people of the West. When their sins would have piled up as high as heaven, the seventh bowl of wrath of God will be full and trigger the Great Chastisement of God (Rev. 18:5; 16:17-21). In a near future, the other half of the Communist Empire, the East Half (including China, Korea, Vietnam) would try to finish their scheme by declaring “self-destruction”, thus the Red Dragon could be ready to accomplish its duty as the Iron Rod of God. And the evil scheme as predicted by Ezekiel will be accomplished, because when the people of the West think that the Communists pose no more threat, they will relax and enjoy their luxurious living, committing more sins, triggering the wrath of God, triggering His chastisement using His Iron Rod.
2. Secret alliance with the Muslims.
The prophet David wrote that the Communists and the Muslims “conspired together with one mind” (Ps. 83:5-6). Isaiah wrote that the Islamic forces will side with the Communists to attack and destroy the Western nations (Is. 21:1-9). In this attack, the Communist Russians are riding horses while the Muslims are riding donkeys and camels (Is. 21:7). In this attack, the Western nations will be defeated, “Babylon is fallen” (Is. 21:9). Ezekiel named three Islamic nations, Iran, Ethiopia and Libya, will join the Russians to attack the United States (Ezek. 38:5).
The Iron Rod is in fact a double rod, Communist-Islamic Rod, and at this time, the Rod has been formed and ready to attack.
IV. Consequences of the War: the US will be defeated, shattered and disappear
The great war described by Ezekiel in his chapter38 will certainly be the Nuclear World War III launched by the Communist Russians. It will happen at about 5:00 PM Eastern Time on a Sunday (Is. 21:4 + Ezek. 38:11), and it will last only one hour (Rev. 18:10,17,19). But the consequences will be extremely horrifying : Jesus said, “On that night, half of the population of the world will be killed” (Matt. 24:1-42 + Luke 17:31-37+ Ezek. 39:12). At least two hundred million Americans will be killed in this war. Ezekiel wrote that it will take the survivors seven months to bury all the dead bodies (Ezek. 39:12).
The victory of the Communist Russians in the coming Nuclear War has been foretold by most of the prophets, such as Moses (Deut. 28:49-52), Isaiah (Is. 21:1-10), Jeremiah (Jer. 51:27-28), Ezekiel (Ezek. 38:1-16), Daniel 11:40-43), St John (Rev. 13:7; 18: 8-23), etc… It is unthinkable, unbelievable, unimaginable, but it has been repeatedly foretold in the Bible that the United States and its Western Allies will be pulverized like a pottery vase dashed to a stone and then disappear like a stone thrown down to the bottom of the Euphrates River (Jer. 19:1-12; 51:63-64). St. John wrote that after the great war that will last only one hour, Babylon, secret name of the US and Western nations (Canada, England, Italy, France, Spain, Germany etc.) will be like a stone thrown down with violence to the bottom of the ocean and will not be found any longer on the world map (Rev. 18:21).
V. What about the destiny of the Communists?
After using the Communist Russia as His instrument to chastise His sinful people, God Himself will destroy this instrument. According to Isaiah, the Communists will be destroyed in a bloodbath, “a great slaughter in the land of Edom” which means “the land of the Communists” (Is. 63-1-6; 34:5-10).
After becoming the only ruler of the entire world, the Communists will commit all kinds of serious sins. When their sins reach the limit fixed by God, thus provoking His wrath. Then He will “stretch out His hand against them” (Ezek. 35:1-9). They will be destroyed completely. According to St Padre Pio (Google: “Padre Pio and the Three Days of Darkness”), the extermination of the Communists will happen as follows:
At the daybreak on the Eastern Hemisphere, instead of the Light to begin to spread over the earth, it will be a thick Darkness. God will remove the Light from the earth for three days and two nights. During this time of darkness, the angels of God will slaughter all the evil people of the world: Communists, robbers, murderers, thieves, adulterers, immoral persons, idolaters, all those who hate God and/or His people etc. None of the Communists will survive: all of them will go down to the bottom of Hell (Is. 14:19). At the end of the third day, the evening stars resume their usual brightness. The next morning will be a normal day. The purification of the earth will be complete. And that is Spring Time.
This would be the second time God uses the “Three Days of Darkness” to carry out His chastisement. The first time was about 4000 years ago when He chastised the Egyptians for their refusal to free the Jєωs and to allow them to go back to their homeland in Israel (Ex. 10:21-23).
VI. Is there any way to escape the coming Great Chastisement of God?
According to Jesus Christ, only the miracle of Jonah could save this generation (Matt. 12:39). It means that only the repentance and returning to God can save the people of the world from being destroyed by the coming Nuclear World War III (Jonah 3:10).
Therefore, please help spread this urgent message to as many people as you can. With the coming Nuclear World War III, a great majority of the people of the US will be killed.

In the context of the Collegial Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of
Mary requested by Our Lady of Fatima, and the consequent conversion of Russia
and the promised period of peace in the world, the above message takes on a
more significant aspect. The author, above, makes no mention of the Fatima
Message, but his warnings are directly related to it. Perhaps he does not know
about the Message of Fatima, or perhaps he is not Catholic and therefore does not
know that the Collegial Consecration could result in himself being converted!
...if he survives the terrors he describes, that is.............
In one of her approved apparitions, Our Lady said that the survivors of the great
chastisement would envy the dead. (Was that La Salette, or Akita?)
