Redacted Names of Privilege

Friday, February 13, 2026

Most people in the world, including many professing Christians, have no idea that Revelation judgments are coming in the near future. This is true because the large majority of people are unbelievers of Jesus Christ. And in organized churches those coming judgments are rarely, if ever, even mentioned, because many pastors count the Book of Revelation as unnecessary, or negative, not wanting to frighten the people. As a result billions of people are blind about the future, clueless of near apocalyptic judgments, but ignorance or unbelief won’t escape reality.

Ancient events expose the utter wickedness into which this world has fallen, and the timing of prophetic catastrophic end-time destructions is wholly appreciable. Unless one ignores sexual crimes of billionaires against the innocent, one must have compassion and integrity to expose and bring to justice the guilty. And unless one is too comfortable with the status quo, one will likely not be interested in bringing to justice the super-rich, powerful and influential who are seemingly escaping justice for their horrendous crimes of sexual deviancy against humanity.

One needs look no further than to generations of government leaders in America and many other nations. Innocent lives of the vulnerable are used and abused by the super-wealthy and powerful, while those powerful elites have immeasurable resources of money to buy their way to freedom, seemingly with impunity. They’re untouchable by the laws of man. Their crimes are well known, but scuttled to secrecy by billionaire elites who can afford to buy it, no matter the cost. As former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green (MTG) suggests “The Epstein files are just the tip of the iceberg”. MTG is a true Christian and has worked in Congress five years. At the expense of her position from which she resigned she’s seen the futility of trying to expose these powerful elites, along with fellow Christian, Thomas Massie (R) Kentucky. “Lawmakers from both parties, after viewing unredacted versions, described the contents as ‘preposterous and scandalous,’ fueling demands for full transparency in a case that continues to implicate the world’s elite. This release, mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Donald Trump, arrives amid heavy redactions that critics say protect perpetrators more than victims.” (Source) It begs the question: “Why are many government officials and specifically the DOJ so against the total unredacted release of the Epstein files?” Could the answer be what President Trump reportedly told MTG before she resigned her position, telling her that “It would hurt my friends”?

Crimes against the innocent are horrible and judgment awaits people who commit them. God is patient, not willing that any perish, 2 Peter 3:9. In just several years horrible judgments will fall upon this unrepentant world. “Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter” (Rev. 8:10–11). And I believe what God calls “Wormwood”, NASA has called “Apophis”. And according to NASA, asteroid Apophis will make a near earth approach on April 13, 2029. The late Christian scholar and investigative author, Dr. Tom Horn, wrote extensively that Apophis is “Wormwood”. And I believe that Wormwood/Apophis will not merely be a fly-by but will impact the earth on or about April 13, 2029. Please watch the 4-minute video. Though government and NASA officials do not believe God’s word we know by authority of His word that “Wormwood” from above will rain down judgments of destruction. I believe those judgments will call many hardened unbelievers to repent and believe on Christ.

Likewise from the heavens preceding Wormwood “the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed” (Rev. 8:8–9). And we’re seeing a massive even unprecedented amassing of naval war ships now being gathered in the seas in anticipation of a likely war against Iran, again, the US plucking the splinter from another wicked nation’s eyes while an elite plank is buried deeply within our own. It’s hauntingly inexcusable how America polices other nations against humanitarian crimes, but looks the other way when an equally horrendous crime lies within its own national walls. The rule of law ought to be more powerful than redacted names of privilege, but often billionaire status, bribery, threats and power speak with more self-serving force than the laws of man.

With regard to a likely new war with Iran, I believe President Trump is bowing to the wishes of Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu. I also believe Netanyahu was the driving force behind the US taking out Iran’s nuclear facilities. The two men have been meeting repeatedly, more than any of President Trump’s predecessors, if I’m not mistaken. I’m totally unsettled by the appearance that President Trump has adopted an “Israel First” policy mandated by Zionist Christians. America has no business doing the bidding of a Christ-hating nation, and that’s just what Israel is. As a nation, Israel hates even the mention of Jesus Christ, but we Americans claim to be a Christian nation. Someone should tell Trump that God divorced Israel and never took he back! Jer. 3:8.

We know the saying “Birds of a feather flock together”. Well, billionaires are in a class entirely unto themselves. The average American cannot comprehend the purchasing power of an elitist billionaire desiring to hide anything he wants hidden. Jeffery Epstein was such a billionaire, and I don’t believe for a second he operated in a vacuum without many other like-minded super rich coconspirators who sexually brutalized subjects. Yet, our government DOJ is stonewalling, if not refusing full and unredacted disclosure of those guilty. I support nondisclosure of the victims, but am appalled by the nondisclosure and redacted names of guilty perpetrators of Epstein’s crimes. I know that many people, Christians included, have their favorite politician whom they defend regardless of what they do because that favorite politician aligns with their ideology and values. But Christians should emulate God who shows no partiality or favoritism, Gal. 6:2 & Rom. 2:11. Christians should have a preference of politicians, but when faced with choosing between what’s right or wrong, preference, partiality and favoritism dare not have a valid standing whatsoever.

Please hear my heart. I recognize that President Donald Trump himself is a billionaire, and I do not believe that he is guilty of any of Epstein’s sexually deviant crimes against anyone. I know also that we live in the end-times and that demonic spirits prevail more now than at other times in history because God said it would be this way. And as a result of that, temptation to side with the wrong isn’t easily overcome. Christ is our example and didn’t entangle himself with politics, but harshly rebuked the religious establishment, and would do so again in our day. The apostles of Christ did not entangle themselves in politics either, but called out evil and unbelief when it was required. The Epstein files are not a partisan issue and must be brought to the light of truth. And on that basis every true believing Christian should bring their thoughts, feelings, belief and emotions subject to the righteous mandate of God’s word. Indeed, we have repeatedly heard the non-partisan line that “No one is above the law”, but this evil nonsense of hiding and redacting the names of sexual deviants just because someone can buy their silence must absolutely stop!

In my personal opinion the timing of the coming apocalyptic events of Revelation, at or about April 29, 2029, is altogether appreciable. It’s time for God’s serious judgments to fall upon this unbelieving and wicked world. My mind is drawn to the judgments upon ancient Egypt when the Israelites were about to leave and God struck Egypt with ten plagues, none of which touched the people of God though they remained there in the same Egypt upon which those judgments came. That event is a perfect reflection of how God will also in these end-times protect his people who know Him and His word and know how to access the safety and provision of God while plagues and destructions befall this unbelieving world. See Rev. 12:6 and Rev. 12:14 for that provision. But for those who rejected the witness and testimony of Jesus Christ “the dragon was enraged with the woman, (believers) and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Rev. 12:17). Antichrist and his followers will literally hunt down every believer they can find to intentionally kill them for refusing “the mark of the beast” (Rev. 13:15). Don’t be deceived!

There won’t be a pre-trib rapture as millions of unsuspecting believers have been led to believe. Instead, Christ will gather His elect according to His promise “Immediately after the tribulation” (Matt. 24:29–31); “at the resurrection” (John 5:28–29); “at the last day” (John 6:40, 44 and 54); “at the last trumpet” (1 Cor. 15:51–52); when “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Rev. 11:15). The Truth in Christ will triumph over government propaganda, lies, deceit and religious traditions of men that make God’s word of no effect, and each of us will be held accountable to God for faith or lack thereof, in believing or disbelieving the testimony of God’s only Son Jesus Christ.

My second book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” explains in detail how to know Christ and find God’s Bozrah sheepfold of safety and place of provision for the last 1,260 days of the great tribulation.
