Blessings Brothers and Sisters -
Thank you for your patience as the last few weeks the Lord has had us busy traveling with speaking engagements. I’m looking forward to sharing a wealth of info on the channel here in the coming weeks.
For now, I hope the latest episode can be a blessing for those who are looking to be well prepared for the coming storm.
While the devil and his real-world agents are preparing for the greatest public display of deception the world has ever seen, Jesus is doing a specific work in Heaven as He prepares to retrurn.
Do you know what it is and why it is absolutely critical to understand?
In this powerful second installment of The Truth Project’s look into the mysteries of the Heavenly Sanctuary, Brother Andrew and I decode and uncover the deep mysteries and meaning of this little-known Biblical truth, showing how every detail—from the furniture to the services to the feasts—all point directly to Jesus Christ and His ongoing work as our Great Sacrifice & High Priest.
Understanding this doctrine will be critical to our witnessing efforts in the face of a rising false Christian movement.
Breaking: An American Pope - The Last Events Will Be Rapid Ones | The Truth Project Ep 13
The American Pope has arrived — and with him, the prophetic puzzle pieces are falling rapidly into place.
In Revelation 13, we are told that a second beast — representing Protestant America — would rise with lamb-like appearance, but would eventually speak as a dragon, and exercise all the power of the first beast (Rome). That moment is no longer coming… it’s here.
In this episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky unpack the massive prophetic implications of the Vatican’s deepening control over American religious and political institutions: Archbishop Robert Prevost, dubbed the “American Pope,” is not just a figurehead — he is a former Augustinian who echoes Rome’s age-old agenda: to replace the authority of God’s written Word with a mystical experience-based faith — disconnected from Scripture, and vulnerable to deception.
This is the same theological current that flowed through Pope Leo XIII, who called for the civil enforcement of Sunday rest — a concept deeply tied to the mark of the beast in Revelation 13 and 14. At the same time, Project 2025 — a sweeping blueprint to Christianize American government — is advancing in lockstep with the installation of a Pope-friendly religious culture in the U.S. Meanwhile, figures like Elon Musk push AI and Universal Basic Income to manage the coming wave of mass unemployment. Musk himself warns AI will create a “crisis of meaning” — a spiritual vacuum ready to be filled by a false system of worship engineered to look holy, but powered by the dragon.
The pieces are converging:
1. A church-state merger
2. A crisis-driven religious revival
3. A system that replaces God’s commandments with man-made traditions, and real worship with false unity
“And he causeth the earth… to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” — Revelation 13:12
“The whole world wondered after the beast.” — Revelation 13:3
This is further confirmation that the Adventist prophetic perspective is true — and now more urgent than ever. Jesus is coming soon. The final test is approaching. Will you stand?
Early Release: Censoring the Creator — They Will Use “Misinformation” to Target God’s People | The Truth Project 14
In a recent address to global leaders, Ursula von der Leyen declared that “misinformation is the number one threat facing the world today.” But beneath the polished rhetoric of protecting society lies a far more dangerous agenda — one that strikes directly at the heart of religious liberty, biblical truth, and freedom of conscience. This is not a neutral call for responsible information.
In this episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky point to the Bible to show how it is all part of a carefully crafted opening for the Papal Roman system — a power the Reformers rightly identified as the antichrist — to begin controlling speech, suppressing dissent, and redefining truth itself. With family ties tracing back to Roman nobility, von der Leyen is not just a political figure — she is helping to pave the way for a system that labels good as evil and evil as good (Isaiah 5:20).
Under the banner of “misinformation,” undeniable Bible truths can now be branded as falsehoods. Creationism, the Second Coming, the Ten Commandments, and the Sabbath — all can be censored, dismissed, or criminalized for not aligning with global consensus. The Bible foretells this moment. Revelation 13 warns that “as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” And Revelation 12:17 reveals that “the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant… which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” A great war is going to be waged against the people of God and “misinformation” is the subtle word that can open a whole new realm of persecution.
This war on “misinformation” is the modern pretext for an ancient hatred — one that will ultimately target those who stand on the Word of God. As deception spreads, God’s people must be prepared to stand firm with a bold and faithful “Thus saith the Lord.”
New Episode: The Final No-Buy System Is Real and Its Here: Thiel, Vance & Palantir Want a Theocracy | The Truth Project Ep 15
Brothers and Sisters - I hope you will be blessed by the latest episode of The Truth Project. It is because of your support that we are able to continue making powerful, Bible-based content that helps others get ready for the soon-coming of Christ.
In this explosive episode, Andrew and I lay out the case to expose the hidden architecture of control being quietly constructed by powerful technocratic elites under the banner of religion, technology, and global governance. While the world watches Elon Musk, few realize that the man behind the curtain is Peter Thiel—a billionaire strategist and Vatican-aligned kingmaker who has shaped Silicon Valley, Washington D.C., and the coming global economic system.
Thiel, recruited during his Stanford years by members of Opus Dei and Jesuit circles, embraced an elite Catholic worldview. Years later, he would return the favor by mentoring and funding J.D. Vance, a former self-described “gay atheist” during his time at Yale. Under Thiel’s influence, Vance converted to Catholicism and emerged as a political weapon for the Church-State agenda. Now seated as the Vice President—a breath away from the presidency—Vance stands ready to deliver the final blow to the constitutional wall separating church and state in America.
This episode traces the undeniable connections between Thiel, Vance, and Palantir—the data and surveillance firm deeply embedded in U.S. government infrastructure. These figures and entities are not just promoting blockchain and AI—they are building the global No-Buy, No-Sell system foretold in Bible prophecy. Thiel is spearheading the push to digitize government control, using technology to track, monitor, and ultimately control who can buy or sell—exactly as Revelation 13 predicted.
Palantir’s integration into government agencies, Thiel’s investments in blockchain surveillance tools, and Vance’s religious-political transformation reveal a coordinated effort to usher in a modern theocracy powered by technology and backed by Rome. While the masses cheer for “innovation,” prophecy students recognize the Beast system rising in plain sight.
We are now witnessing the union of Evangelical Protestantism and Roman Catholicism in the most powerful nation on earth—with the first US Pope, embraced as a unifier. But the Bible tells us where this is heading.
The No-Buy System isn’t coming. It’s already here.
The Truth Project Ep 18: They Are About to Reveal ‘The Christ’ to the World - Details From Insider Meetings Emerge
The Truth Project Ep 18: They Are About to Reveal ‘The Christ’ to the World - Details From Insider Meetings Emerge
Brothers and Sisters - I hope you will be blessed by this week’s episode of ‘The Truth Project’, now releasing on Wednesday’s.
Brothers and Sisters -
Blessings to you all in the name of our Lord, Jesus! There is no doubt we are on the verge of major events unfolding in the world. While many are focused on the staged chaos, behind the scenes the final plans are being set to introduce the world to “the christ”.
In this episode of The Truth Project, Andrew and I reveal what Lucifer Publishing Company, now known as Lucis Trust, is calling “the most important meeting in 100 years”.
Founded by Alice A. Bailey, a disciple of Helena P. Blavatsky (founder of the Theosophical Society), Lucis Trust claims to be guided by “The Tibetan” (Djwhal Khul)—an alleged ascended master who, through telepathic dictation to Bailey, outlined a detailed plan for the spiritual evolution of humanity. At the center of this plan is the “Reappearance of the Christ,” a global teacher who will emerge to lead all religions into unity and initiate humanity into a new world order under spiritual governance.
But this “Christ” is not Jesus of Nazareth. He is the antithesis—what Scripture warns of as the false Christ, an agent of the dragon (Satan), who appears as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), working miracles, and demanding allegiance from a world deceived by signs and wonders (Matthew 24:24; Revelation 13:13–14). This global plan is not spontaneous.
According to Lucis Trust and esoteric writings: The first in a series of planetary spiritual conclaves took place in 1425 A.D., held in the “spiritual retreats” of the Spiritual Hierarchy. Every century since, a new conference has been convened in secret to evaluate human progress toward spiritual initiation. The final and most important conclave is scheduled for 2025. Bailey and Lucis Trust openly state this will be the last one ever held, where the Hierarchy will decide whether humanity is “ready” for the externalization of spiritual governance—and the public emergence of their “Christ.”
Lucis Trust reinterprets major biblical events to fit this occult narrative:
The Fall of Man becomes a positive event—the “individualisation of man” in Lemuria, where Lucifer is exalted for giving humanity intellect.
The Flood becomes the Atlantean Crisis—a war between “Lords of Light” and “Lords of Materialism,” whitewashing God’s judgment into a tale of evolutionary refinement.
The Second Coming of Christ is replaced by the staged appearance of a global spiritual leader who will promote unity, world peace, and a false gospel rooted in human potential, not repentance and obedience to God’s Word. According to Bible prophecy, this is the final deception—when the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet unite (Revelation 16:13–14), and a false system of worship is enforced worldwide.
The true Jesus Christ will return visibly, audibly, and gloriously (Matthew 24:27; Revelation 1:7)—not through institutions or “spiritual emergence,” but in power and great glory where “every eye will see Him”.
Early Release: The US President Has Mass at His Personal Residence - The Image of the Beast Is Forming Now | TTP 19
In this critical episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky examine an extraordinary display of Papal authority on US soil as a Roman Catholic Mass was held at the personal residence of an acting American President. 100 Roman Catholic priests, in fact, gathered at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago to perform a full Catholic Mass, including the Eucharist — a ritual the Bible identifies as part of the counterfeit worship system that would “cast down the truth to the ground” (Daniel 8:12) and replace Christ’s true priestly ministry in heaven with a manmade system on earth.
This was not a symbolic gesture. It was the open placement of the Papal worship system in the inner courts of American political power — a fulfillment of the prophecy that the false prophet (apostate Protestant America) would give power back to the first beast (Papal Rome) (Revelation 13:12). Daniel 8 tells us that the “little horn” power, which historically identifies with Papal Rome, would take away “the daily” (Hebrew: tamid) and replace it with “the transgression of desolation” (Daniel 8:11-13).
What is “the daily”? It is the continual, ongoing, heavenly ministry of Jesus Christ, our true High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 8:1-2). The “daily” represents the true gospel, where sinners go directly to Christ for confession and cleansing — not through an earthly mediator. Rome has replaced this with a counterfeit: A human priesthood who claims the power to forgive sins (Mark 2:7; 1 Timothy 2:5 says “there is one Mediator… the man Christ Jesus”) A continual sacrifice in the Mass that denies the sufficiency of Christ’s once-for-all offering (Hebrews 10:10-12). A Eucharist that teaches Christ is physically present in bread, in contradiction to Christ’s heavenly position (Acts 1:11; Hebrews 9:24). This false system is at the heart of what the Bible calls “the mystery of iniquity” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4), which exalts itself into the place of God and is setting the stage for global enforcement of false worship.
We are now witnessing:
The public elevation of the Papal system in America, once a bastion of Protestantism
The restoration of the image to the beast through ecumenical efforts, such as Project 2025 and America’s move toward evangelicalism
A growing unity between church and state, fulfilling Revelation 13:15-17, where worship will be enforced under penalty of death and economic exclusion
The Mass at Mar-a-Lago is a warning: The abomination is being set up (Daniel 11:31; Matthew 24:15) — a system that defiles the true sanctuary in heaven and points the world to a false one on earth. The Bible makes clear that this issue will divide the world. God’s people are described as “they that keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17) and “keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). In contrast, the world will be “made drunk with the wine of her fornication” (Revelation 17:2) — accepting Rome’s false doctrines and her counterfeit worship system.
This episode exposes: The historical identity of the “daily” and what it really means
The false worship system being honored at the highest levels of civil government
The true role of Jesus Christ in the heavenly sanctuary, and why Satan wants to obscure it
How this all leads to the final test between the commandments of God and the traditions of men (Mark 7:7-9; Daniel 7:25)
Let this episode be a call to anchor your faith in the Word of God — to study deeply and discern the true gospel from its modern counterfeits. Now is the time to heed the call of Revelation 18:4: “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” There is no neutral ground. The line is being drawn. Will you follow the Lamb wherever He goes (Revelation 14:4), or follow the beast into deception?
The Truth Project Ep 21 - The Image of the Beast is Forming In America
The Truth Project Ep 21 - The Image of the Beast is Forming In America
In this powerful episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky expose one of the clearest signs of the final prophetic convergence—the merging of the harlot mother (Rome) and the false prophet (apostate Protestant America)—as seen through one man, Donald Trump, and one movement, Christian Nationalism, and one pagan worship service, the Eucharist.
While Trump platforms evangelical figures like Franklin Graham Jr. and Paula White Cain, he simultaneously welcomes 100 Roman Catholic priests to Mar-a-Lago, where they hold a full Catholic mass, offer the Eucharist (Rome’s counterfeit to the true daily ministration of Christ), and venerate an idol of Mary, even claiming she saved Trump’s life in the July 2025 assassination attempt. The Eucharist, hailed by Rome as the literal transformation of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, is the pagan heart of Rome’s counterfeit worship system. Rooted in ancient sun-worship rituals that venerated the host as a divine object, the Eucharist was and remains a false sacrifice that replaces Christ’s once-for-all atonement (Heb 10:10-14).
During the Dark Ages, millions of faithful believers were persecuted, tortured, and even executed for refusing to bow to this idolatrous rite. Reformers like Martin Luther, William Tyndale, and John Wycliffe condemned the Mass as a denial of the gospel, a blasphemy against Christ’s true priesthood, and a central pillar of Antichrist’s system. Just as it was used to test allegiance in the past, we will once again face a test of loyalty — not through a blatant image of Baal, but through a globally accepted, false form of Christianity. The forced Eucharist was a death sentence then, and prophecy tells us it will be used again in the final crisis (Rev 13:15-17).
The question remains: Will you stand with the Lamb in the Most Holy Place, or bow to the counterfeit at the altar of Rome?
These once divided ideologies—Catholicism and Evangelical Protestantism—are merging into one end-time false Christianity, united through spiritual fornication with the state. The lies of Christian Nationalist leaders like Doug Wilson, who claim the world will be Christianized and ruled in righteousness before Christ returns seem to be totally ignoring that the Bible tells a completely different story: The world will unite under a false worship system that forces worship adherance(Rev 13:3–4).
This system is Christian looking saying, “Lord, in thy name...” (Matt 7:22). They claim Jesus, but are denied by Jesus. The real followers of God are described as a small “remnant” who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus (Rev 14:12). Make sure you are not deceived by this coming Christian looking system by having a deep understanding and relationship with God’s word for yourself. May this discussion be a blessing to that end.
New Release: Do You Believe The Millennium Happens on Earth? You’re Being Led Into The Final Deception | The Truth Project Ep. 23
In this episode, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichk expose the dangerous deception being preached by today’s most popular pastors: that Jesus will reign on earth for 1,000 years after His return. This false doctrine not only contradicts Scripture, but it sets the stage for the ultimate deception — Satan himself appearing as Christ to usher in a false millennial kingdom of peace.
What the Bible actually teaches is clear:
• The righteous will be caught up to meet Christ in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17)
• The wicked will be slain at His brightness (Jeremiah 25:33; 2 Thessalonians 2:8)
• The earth will be desolate during the 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1–3)
• The second resurrection — that of the wicked — takes place after the 1,000 years
• The second death is the final and eternal judgment (Revelation 20:14–15)
Understanding the location, purpose, and timeline of the true Millennium is essential to avoiding the final deception that leads to all accepting the mark of the beast.
This episode walks through each of these Biblical points and contrasts them with the dangerous teachings flooding pulpits today — teachings that are priming Christians to accept a false Christ and a false kingdom. Don’t be deceived. Know what the Bible really says about:
• The Millennium
• The Second Coming
• The Second Resurrection
• The Second Death
• The final judgment and the fate of the wicked
Share this episode with those who have been told the lie that Jesus will reign on a when the Bible is clear the wicked are destroyed and the world becomes a desolate wasteland at His second coming. The truth is our only defense.
New Release- The Truth Project, Ep. 26 | They Blessed WHAT?! Here’s Proof the Papacy is the Harlot of Revelation 17
https://www.patreon.com/posts/new-release-ep-144474655
In October 2025, Pope Leo XIV performed two ceremonies that reveal the fulfillment of biblical prophecy in stunning clarity. First, he blessed a 40,000-year-old block of glacial ice in a liturgical climate ritual, directing spiritual devotion toward creation rather than the Creator. Then, he solemnly rededicated the entire world to Mary, reinforcing Rome’s commitment to practices the Bible explicitly condemns as idolatry.
This is the prophetic unveiling of Mystery Babylon, the woman riding the beast in Revelation 17. “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (Revelation 17:5)
What are these “abominations”? Scripture is clear: idolatry, false worship, and spiritual fornication. The same sins that brought judgment upon ancient Israel are now being celebrated globally under the banner of unity, environmentalism, and devotion.
In this urgent episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky expose how these recent papal ceremonies fulfill Revelation 17 with precision:
✅ Creation Worship is Modern Paganism – Why blessing ice reveals the ancient sun-worshipping priesthood in modern dress
✅ Marian Veneration is Biblical Idolatry – How Rome’s “Queen of Heaven” connects directly to the pagan goddesses condemned by the prophets
✅ The Woman Riding the Beast – Understanding Rome’s identity as the spiritual harlot drunk with the blood of the saints
✅ The Wine of Her Fornication – How false doctrine intoxicates nations and prepares the world for the mark of the beast
✅ Your Prophetic Warning – Why God’s people must “come out of her” before the plagues fall
This is prophecy fulfilling before our eyes.
As the world drinks the wine of Babylon’s deceptions, environmental salvation, interfaith unity, Marian devotion, God’s remnant people must stand firmly on Scripture alone. The Protestant Reformers identified this system. History has vindicated their warnings. And current events confirm we are living in the final chapters.
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (Revelation 18:4)
New Episode: All the World’s a Stage: Trump, Maduro & Greenland - A Script Written Long Ago | The Truth Project Ep. 28
To understand current global events like Trump taking over Venezuela and arresting Maduro is dramatic fashion and his obsession with Greenland, we must evaluate them through the lens of Bible prophecy. Revelation 17 warns that “the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her”, the “her” being the great harlot, identified in prophecy as the Roman Catholic Church. In this episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky make it clear that this is not just a metaphorical allusion, but a direct reference to how Rome controls the kings of the earth through aristocratic dynastic families who wield vast power behind the scenes.
The Bourbon, Habsburg, Savoy, and Massimo bloodlines are not just figureheads of fading European royalty, but are actively engaged in getting the world ready for the appearing of Satan as Christ. They are the very “kings of the earth” who influence the selection of popes and even the Superior General of the Jesuit Order, the head of the most powerful intelligence and infiltration network in human history. These families work in tandem with papal knighthoods and the Jesuit order to control the levers of global governance, economics, religion, and military alignment, the modern outworking of the Roman Papal Empire.
In this episode, we go in-depth to expose: The names of the personal Jesuit advisors who counseled Latin American dictators like Maduro, Chavez, and Castro.
1. The name of the senior member of the Knights of Malta, acting on behalf of these dynastic houses, who maintains direct influence over key U.S. political figures, including Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth, through groups like the House of Savoy and the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre.
2. The role of the Club of Rome, and how its 1970s plan to divide the world into 10 economic regions aligns eerily with prophetic timelines.
3. Why Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland was never random, it fits perfectly within the Club of Rome’s map, where Greenland is part of the North American zone, revealing a much larger script of planned global unification.
America, as described in Revelation 13, will speak as a dragon and exercise all the power of the first beast before it. This means the United States will absorb and re-enact the centralized religious and civil authority once held by Rome, and what we are seeing now on the world stage is exactly what that process looks like in real time.
New Episode Release: Modern Israel vs Biblical Israel: Exposing Rome’s Attempt to Rewrite Prophecy | The Truth Project Ep. 29
The Bible is clear that the end-time prophetic picture centers in America, yet Rome is actively working to promote a false version of prophecy that places its fulfillment in the Middle East. Is modern Israel the same as Biblical Israel? The answer to this question becomes more critical by the day as theology surrounding the modern state of Israel continues to cement itself as a pillar of evangelical Christianity.
In this episode of ‘The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky lay forth the evidence that two powerful Roman families to lay claim to the ancient title “King of Jerusalem,” yet very few Christians understand the significance of this title, or how long ago the plan was formed to make Jerusalem a Roman objective.
Today, much of the Christian world is advocating for the modern state of Israel to be the central figure in end-time prophecy and that it is the same entity as Biblical Israel, yet this is not so. This shift is not accidental. It is the direct result of a long-established and carefully coordinated effort by the Little Horn power, the Papacy.
One of the most commonly cited texts used to support this narrative is Genesis 12:3. Yet the promise was made to Abraham the individual, not to a nation, and it was conditional upon faith and obedience.
Genesis 12:3 (KJV)
“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
If Abraham would listen to God, the covenant would be fulfilled.
If Abraham would not obey, there would be no blessing.
God is not seeking an ethnic bloodline today, He is seeking those who share the faith of Abraham. While pulpits are increasingly filled with calls for Christians to support the modern state of Israel, these appeals are being made without proper biblical context and without being tested through the lens of present prophetic events.
Because the Little Horn is identified in Scripture as Rome, it must be recognized as the power that moves events on the world stage. Once this is understood, the roots of modern Israel can be traced back through history, where the Rothschild family appears, acting on behalf of Roman royal interests, to help construct and promote the theology of Zionism, a false version of prophecy for the world to embrace.
Although the world is being led to believe that modern Israel and biblical Israel are the same, the biblical and historical evidence points to something entirely different.
New Episode Release: The Bible Foretold the Collapse of the Modern Churches — Are You Ready to Hear This? | TTP 30
New Episode Release: The Bible Foretold the Collapse of the Modern Churches — Are You Ready to Hear This? | TTP 30
If God told you that you were in the wrong church, would you want to hear it?
What would be the proof? Would you accept His Word, or remain where you are?
Across the world today, churches are being transformed into places of entertainment, rock music fills the sanctuary, super heroes fly across the stage, people speak words no one understands, and even children are taught to fall down physically as though compelled by the Spirit. These things are widely accepted as normal. But the question must be asked: did God ever instruct His church to worship this way? Or did He warn that a falling away would come?
In this episode of the The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky dive into the book of Revelation, where Jesus Christ gave seven specific messages to His church. Each message contains commendation, reproof, and warning for today and helps God’s people keep on track and sharp to distinguish the real from the fake, yet so many will be deceived.
Jesus gave direct warnings to His church: “I have somewhat against thee… thou hast left thy first love.” (Revelation 2:4, KJV)
These were not written only for the past, but for God’s people in every generation, especially those living at the end of time. When carefully studied, these messages reveal a clear pattern: churches that drift away from the simplicity of truth, churches that compromise, churches that appear alive but are spiritually dead, and churches that ultimately fall because they reject correction.
What we are witnessing today is not new. God foretold it. And He warned that many would be sincere, but still deceived:
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord… and then will I profess unto them, I never knew you.” (Matthew 7:22–23, KJV)
This marks the start of The Truth’s Project examination into each of the Seven Churches, beginning with Ephesus, and compare Christ’s words with what we see happening in modern churches today. Through this comparison, the dangers become clear. Error does not enter all at once, it enters gradually, and once accepted, it multiplies. Scripture describes this condition as the blind leading the blind.
God does not leave His people in darkness. His Word is the light that shows the path we are to walk. He has already given the warnings. The only question is whether we will heed them. If the messages to the Seven Churches expose the condition of the church you are attending, are you willing to follow truth wherever it leads? Or will comfort and tradition hold you in place?
These are questions every sincere follower of Christ must face.
The question is whether we are willing to hear the answer.
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Revelation 2:7, KJV)
The goal is not to follow a church. The goal is to follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.
New Release: The Final Prophetic Shift Has Begun: America Now Speaks Like the Dragon | The Truth Project 31
Today we are watching the stage being set. A growing group of political leaders, including figures such as Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio, are increasingly blending religion and geopolitics, promoting a narrative that frames modern political conflicts as biblical mandates. In particular, the push toward confrontation with Iran is often justified through appeals to Christian language and support for modern Israel.
At the same time, the world is being divided into two opposing camps: those who believe modern Israel represents biblical prophecy, and those who believe Israel exerts political influence over Western governments. Yet both narratives miss the central prophetic reality: It’s always Rome.
In this episode of The Truth Project, Matthew Schanche and Andrew Bikichky Bible look at the second church of the seven churches of Revelation, Smyrna. The lessons from this church points to what will happen in the future and to the true historical power behind the persecution of God’s people: the Papal system, described in Scripture as the “little horn”, the “mother of harlots”, and the system headed by the “man of sin”.
The Bible warns that false religious powers will appear outwardly Christian while denying the true power of godliness.
2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV)
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
Matthew 7:15 (KJV)
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
This prophetic system does not stand alone. Revelation reveals that the daughters of the mother, apostate forms of Protestantism, will follow the same pattern, professing Christ while departing from His Word.
At the same time, the United States itself is beginning to fulfill the prophetic warning of Revelation 13, speaking “as a dragon” while claiming Christian authority. Increasingly we see political leaders invoking Scripture while promoting policies rooted in power, coercion, and conflict.
Revelation 13:11 (KJV)
“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.”
Ellen White warned that the final step in this process would come when religion uses the power of the state: “When the Protestant churches shall unite with the secular power to sustain a false religion, for opposing which their ancestors endured the fiercest persecution: when the state shall use its power to enforce the decrees and sustain the institutions of the church,—then will Protestant America have formed an image to the Papacy, and there will be a national apostasy which will end only in national ruin.”
ST March 22, 1910, par. 9
The world is rapidly moving toward that moment. The union of church and state, an unholy alliance between religious authority and political power, will ultimately produce the image of the beast, completing the healing of the deadly wound given to the Papal system centuries ago.
The message of Smyrna reminds us that persecution is not accidental, it is the predictable result when religious power joins with political authority. But Christ’s promise still stands for those who remain faithful. “...be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” (Rev 2:10)
