It’s not summertime, but the sun is causing much destruction across the globe by the strength of its heat. You have surely seen it. Perhaps you’ve even already felt it, but you may not have understood how it was prophesied. As you read this article, you will understand how the present tariff turmoil afflicting the world is connected to the fourth bowl of God’s wrath.

Revelation gives different prophetic stories that are like timelines to the Second Coming of Jesus. The simultaneous fulfillment of multiple prophecies is clear evidence that Jesus is not just coming “soon,” but imminently. It is obsolete to refer to the “last days”, for there are but a few hours remaining, and God has marked these last hours on His heavenly canvas. Don’t assume there’s time for years of preparation or tribulation.

Many make the fatal mistake of looking only to the world to discern the times—but that is not God’s order. Jesus said, when you begin to see these things fulfilled, look up—to heaven—not down to the Simpsons, Pet Goat II, or even well-meaning end-time preachers focused on Agenda 2030, CBDCs, or other so-called “essential components” of the enemy’s system. By relying solely on earthly sources for validation of the time, we allow world leaders—guided by Satan—to shape our prophetic understanding according to human reasoning and expectations regarding what we see of the enemy’s system. It is not a faith-based approach.

Instead, let us stand firmly on the Word of God. Various prophecies are now converging in fulfillment, including the fourth bowl of God’s wrath and the first hour of Babylon’s fall. As you’ll recall from earlier presentations that the angel’s cry in Revelation 7 to hold back destruction while the first four bowls made their rounds, turned them into omens warning against a time just ahead. But it was foretold that after the fourth bowl would be poured out on the sun, that source of heat would be given power:

And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire… (Revelation 16:8)

The moon even tagged the sun in a partial eclipse on the day of this outpouring, but before we examine the sure fulfillments of these prophetic elements, let’s first take a moment to glimpse the perspective of our gracious Lord.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)

When the bowl is poured out on the sun, which primarily represents the Bridegroom, Jesus, it reveals His attitude. The Lord does not desire to bring death, destruction, or pain to the earth—but repentance. He who bore the guilt of the wicked on the cross to save them takes no pleasure in their destruction.

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? (Ezekiel 33:11)

This bowl of wrath is poured out just before the 70^th and greatest jubilee since the count began nearly three and a half millennia ago,^[1] yet people are more interested in seeing devil horns rising^[2] than in the great year of His redeemed—the year of His liberation and ultimate deliverance. His glory is eclipsed because of unbelief.

Instead, Donald Trump, being the destroyer whom God marks as a counterfeit “savior”, is given glory. While he calls his sweeping tariffs, “medicine” and “a beautiful thing,” God exposes this policy to be an agent of His wrath on not only the United States but the whole world—“Great Babylon”.

But while many are under the condemnation of God’s wrath, the eclipse serves as a reminder that 2,000 years ago, the fullness of His wrath was emptied onto the sun of Righteousness. Jesus became sin for His enemies and was cut off from His Father in their place—though He Himself was sinless.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved [from wrath] by his life. (Romans 5:10)

Those who believe this will glorify His name with grateful praise. But those who do not believe that Christ took their sin must bear it themselves. They are not saved by His life, and their pain and destruction will surely follow. The final bowls of God’s wrath are a solemn and urgent call to repent and give Him glory for overcoming the plague of sin. It is God whose wrath is poured out and who has ultimate power over the plagues.

And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. (Revelation 16:9)

An Hour of Liberation

As we turn our focus to the key prophetic lines, remember that their relationship can be outlined in the following table:

The fourth bowl of wrath ties three prophecies together and provides their timing. The bowls are poured out “hourly,” following lunar hours on the Mazzaroth clock. Each hour begins quietly with the moon in Orion’s hand, then it is passed to the Father at Sagittarius A* signifying the Father’s agreement. It is poured out on its target when the moon bowl is completely “empty” (black), before completing the hour as it returns to Orion’s hand.

During the hour of the fourth bowl of wrath, several key developments unfolded, leading up to its final outpouring. The burning issue at hand had global reach, with both immediate and long-term consequences. But this scorching heat wasn’t about a climate emergency. The prophecy uses symbolic language that is consistent with what we learned in the past. The “men” mentioned in this passage represent, for example, the “George Washingtons”—the financial “horsemen” depicted on the various national currencies.

Donald Trump, usurping the role of a savior—and thus, symbolically, the sun (as shown in his eclipse-themed campaign ad)—was given power to impose sweeping tariffs that scorched these monetary men with great heat, as trillions of dollars were “burned up” in market losses. Remarkably, the path leading up to the “Liberation Day” Trump proclaimed is marked by key developments aligning precisely with the prophetic time markers of the fourth bowl of wrath. Let’s trace it from beginning to end:

While tariffs are nothing new for Trump, he made headlines when he imposed them on products from close allies, Mexico and Canada. Yet on March 6, just days after coming into effect, he signed a temporary reprieve for those two nations—to become effective the next day, just as the fourth bowl entered Orion’s hand.

The tariff pause announced on Thursday [coming into effect on Friday, March 7] will remain until April 2, Trump announced. That’s when Trump has threatened to impose a global regime of reciprocal tariffs on all US trading partners: Each country will face the same tariff rates that it subjects US goods to.^[3] 

Despite the “excellent and respectful call” between Trump and the Mexican president, the reprieve wouldn’t last beyond his scheduled “Liberation Day”—a term he first used in a Truth Social post on March 21.

April 2nd is Liberation Day in America!!! For DECADES we have been ripped off and abused by every nation in the World, both friend and foe. Now it is finally time for the Good Ol’ USA to get some of that MONEY, and RESPECT, BACK. God BLESS AMERICA!!!^[4] 

By the end of that same day, the bowl had reached Sagittarius A*^[5]—the next prophetic time marker on the path of the fourth bowl in heaven. Each time marker pointed forward to April 2. Following this, the bowl was poured out on March 29. That day, while speaking to the media, the President emphasized his “aggressive” approach to the trade war:

March 29 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is urging senior advisers to take a more aggressive stance on tariffs as the administration prepares for a major escalation in its global trade war, the Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing four people familiar with the matter.

Despite calls from allies on Wall Street and Capitol Hill to adopt a more measured approach, Trump has been pushing for sweeping trade actions aimed at reshaping the U.S. economy, the report said.^[6] 

In line with the partial eclipse that day, Trump was advised to take a softer approach—warning that his planned “Liberation Day” escalation could overwhelm the economy and trigger a recession. Yet, like Solomon’s son, he refused to heed wise counsel:

And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men’s counsel that they gave him; And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke:... (1 Kings 12:13-14)

And so, when “Liberation Day” arrived on April 2, Trump was given power to scorch men—just as the Scripture foretells.

And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. (Revelation 16:8)

He imposed the “steepest trade barriers in over 100 years,” which were blamed for the extreme losses that followed.^[7] From start to finish, the heavenly time markers of the fourth bowl highlight Trump’s “Liberation Day” on April 2^nd—the final day before the moon would serve as the fifth bowl in Orion’s hand on April 3.

But while Liberation Day marked the end of the fourth bowl’s heavenly sign, it was only the beginning of its impact on earth! The economy immediately began to unravel, as markets crashed in response to Trump’s sweeping tariffs—reportedly triggering the worst market drop since the Covid-19 crash of March 2020.^[8] 

Isn’t it striking how Trump, prophetically identified as the destroyer,^[9] played that role twice in economic terms? He was King Abaddon during the Covid-19 market crash, and now King Apollyon in the Liberation Day market crash.

Just as it was prophesied that Rehoboam would lose much of the kingdom due to his “aggressive stance,” so it is prophesied that Donald Trump, as Apollyon, would bring great destruction—beginning, as we see now, with financial chaos. This cause is from the Lord who gave the power to make it happen, and it is meant to bring the people to a decision point: between the true Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, and the false savior, Donald Trump.

Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the Lord, ... (1 Kings 12:15)

This is a judgment from God. Will those who have chosen Trump as their savior rethink their position? May no Christian blaspheme the name, or character, of God, on account of any financial trouble resulting from these tariffs!

And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. (Revelation 16:9)

These tariffs have already precipitated financial woes for many investors and threaten to drive up the cost of living significantly for everyone. This has caused some to recognize that Trump’s policies may be more problematic than they at first realized.

The cracks in Trump’s clout were most visible in corporate America, as the executives who once touted Trump’s policies as good for business raced to measure the impact of the tariffs on their portfolios and supply chains.^[10] 

Yet despite the pain, many refuse to repent, but hold Trump up as a savior, to whom they blasphemously give glory. This is seen among those who embrace the tariffs as a necessary “medicine”, as Trump characterized his “Liberation Day” policy:

Extreme volatility plagued global stock markets on Monday, with Wall Street swinging in and out of the red as Donald Trump defied stark warnings that his global trade assault will wreak widespread economic damage, comparing new US tariffs to medicine.^[11] 

But what does the Bible say about this so-called “medicine”? Will it lead to healing?

The Hour of Judgment

The fourth bowl of wrath, culminating in the Liberation Day tariffs on April 2, has initiated a precipitous drop in the markets, and it has left the leaders (kings) of nations in distress. The characteristics of the aftermath of that decision are recorded in Revelation 18:

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. (Revelation 18:9-10)

Let’s be clear about Babylon. In The Three Unclean Spirits, we identified that city as the Catholic Church which reigns over the United Nations beast.

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. (Revelation 17:18)

Though her foremost name, “Mystery,”^[12] suggests that her true nature is secret, it’s clear the mother church holds sway over the kings in the New World Order. As it was in Eden, so it is today: the serpent, embodied in the pope, exerts his will through the woman—Babylon, the Catholic Church—to whom the kings, who are men, submit.^[13] Thus, Babylon wields her usurped authority against the remnant people in whom God’s Spirit dwells. Satan’s hierarchy inverts God’s design, where the Father rules through the Man, Christ the King, to whom the woman—the true church, the Holy City—submits. He grants her dominion over serpents, scorpions, and their human agents in the realm of spiritual wickedness.^[14] 

While the whore controls the beast she rides, she effectively governs the New World Order: the wealthy G7 leaders, the ten European “horns” of religious power, and the entire political body of the United Nations. Trump’s “medicine” implies an intent to heal an illness—and his boast that nations are “dying to make a deal,” yielding to his demands, echoes Revelation 13’s narrative on a national stage. Notice how this tariff manipulation edges toward halting trade—buying and selling. Until stricter controls emerge, nations must bow to Trump’s will, and that reflects the worship of the image.

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. (Revelation 13:15)

In The Three Unclean Spirits, it was explained how, on an individual level, this applied to the support of alternative lifestyles to the image of God in man:

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:27)

The order of authority in God’s image is unambiguous: God holds supreme authority, followed by man, then woman. As noted earlier, this hierarchy extends to the national scale. On that level, the image of the beast is the New World Order of the false church, the whore Babylon, who reigns over the kings. This is the reverse of God’s image reflected in the divine order of the pure church—spiritual Israel, who is in submission to her Lord.

Just as the fourth plague text describes it being given to Trump to scorch men with his tariffs, Revelation 13 depicts it being given to the United States beast to animate the New World Order to speak with global influence. A nation’s voice on the world stage hinges on its capacity to produce and trade goods; a nation with stifled trade opportunities has no say among its peers. When Trump claims nations are “dying to make a deal” to escape his tariffs, it shows how they have lost their sovereignty. They must bow to the will of the mother church, which is secretly enforced through Trump. The tariffs are apparently just the outward tool to scare the nations into compliance.

And he [the US beast] exerciseth all the power of the first beast [the Vatican] before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (Revelation 13:12)

One may infer that to circumvent these tariffs, the nations must bow to the demands of the New World Order—the image of the Vatican at its height—or face silencing by being “killed” through restricted trade. Given this scenario, it would make sense that China, a strong frontrunner among those challenging the current World Order, bears intense tariff pressure as a result.^[15] God may use even the godless nations to accomplish His will in the fall of Babylon.

This is the hour of Babylon’s plague of “death” that was anticipated for this time, according to the sequence given in Revelation 18:

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. (Revelation 18:8)

The Bible associates this with the first hour of Babylon’s fall. Leaders once living luxuriously through the global trading system now watch markets collapse in flames. Trump labels it “medicine”—bitter initially but ultimately healing. Yet Scripture declares that Babylon is fallen! It reveals the outcome of this hour not as healing, but as judgment—God’s vengeance for the blood of countless lives she claimed through violence.

And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. (Revelation 18:24)

At the start of Babylon’s fall on April 2, 2025, the moon was in Taurus, the sacrificial animal. It highlights the countless lives the Babylonian church cut short through the generations for their loyalty to God and His image, their blood being spilled as faithful martyrs. God now avenges them, marking this hour of judgment with the moon in Taurus. In one hour on the Mazzaroth clock, on April 29-30, the moon will return to this memorial of their sacrifice.

Notably, not until the second hour are the riches specifically said to come to nought and the merchants said to mourn. Thus, the biblical pattern accommodates the market rebound this week after Trump’s announcement of a 90-day tariff pause for most nations.^[16] The first hour centers on her judgment: Will Trump’s tariff “medicine” heal the “China virus”,^[17] or will Babylon falter irreparably, as Scripture suggests? World leaders should discern this political reckoning by the moon’s next pass through Taurus.

By the end of the second hour on May 26-27, her merchandise finds no buyers, and her wealth vanishes in a financial reckoning. The third hour, highlighting ships and shipmasters, may signify a religious reckoning. After these three hours, God’s people are addressed.

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. (Revelation 18:20)

The moon’s return to Taurus at the end of the third hour on June 23 marks the time when none of the righteous remain on earth, pointing to the Second Coming. Jesus has then gathered His saints from the earth into heaven, and it is time for the seventh bowl of wrath “without mixture” to be fully poured out. This corresponds to Babylon’s final plague, when she is utterly burned with fire. It is the treading of the winepress as indicated in the video The Last Harvest Without a Veil! marked by the exit of comet G3 from the now filled Horologium winepress.

The “Liberation Day” for God’s people has come, and they have been delivered from the earth. As prophecies converge at the Second Coming, the Lord seeks to rouse those still deceived within any part of the Babylonian system.

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)

Will those who view Trump as God’s chosen savior for America awaken to reality? Will those chasing a “golden age” of worldly financial prosperity grasp the truth of the time? Will those who see America’s religious shift as a moral revival discern the light? Will you reach out, sharing God’s timing, and call them to a decision?

And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. (1 Kings 18:21)

How will you answer?
