SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

An autonomous semitruck recently completed the world’s first driverless trip, which saw the vehicle travel 80 miles in Arizona without a safety person at the wheel or any human intervention.

Elon Musk may get the lion’s share of the headlines with his work on automating his Tesla electric vehicle, but he better watch out because other companies are beating him to the punch with seemingly better technology. A company called TuSimple just accomplished something that no other company has, the world’s first fully autonomous, driverless road trip of a an 18-wheeler all the way from Tucson to Phoenix in Arizona. What does this have to do with the Mark of the Beast? Glad you asked!

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:16-18 (KJB)

Imagine how great it will be when all vehicles are self-driving, and all you need to do is get inside and sit down. Once the system is perfected you can even take a nap or work on documents on your mobile device, what a blessing. Not so fast. Students of Bible prophecy will immediatly see this as what it is, another giant reach of the One World System to make you a further slave to the global operation. Think about it, any vehicle that is completely autonomous is also a vehicle that can decide to not allow you to get inside and take your journey. Just picture that federal mandates require you to take the COVID vaccine, you decline, and the government sends a message to your fully autonomous vehicle to deny you access. No jab, no journey, and since they control your vehicle, they decide when you can leave and where you can go. That’s what’s coming sooner rather than later. In the meantime, enjoy the ride!

No human was at the wheel or inside truck during its 80-mile journey

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The nighttime drive, which took place on December 22, started at a railyard in Tucson, traveled along 1-10 for one hour and 20 minutes and ended at a distribution center in Phoenix.

Along the journey, TuSimple’s Autonomous Driving System (ADS) successfully navigated surface streets, traffic signals, on-ramps, off-ramps, emergency lane vehicles, and highway lane changes in open traffic while naturally interacting with other motorists, according to the company. Cheng Lu, President, and CEO, TuSimple, said in a statement: ‘By achieving this momentous technical milestone, we demonstrated the advanced capabilities of TuSimple’s autonomous driving system and the commercial maturity of our testing process, prioritizing safety and collaboration every step of the way.

‘This test reinforces what we believe is our unique position at the forefront of autonomous trucking, delivering advanced driving technology at commercial scale.’

‘This year, we were laser-focused on putting our technology through a rigorous test on open public roads under real-world conditions, and to see all our hard work and dedication come together is extremely rewarding.’

TuSimple says that drivers represent about 40 percent of all trucking operational costs and that its virtual driver ‘can be operated for significantly less.’ The company also estimates that its technology saves about 10 percent on fuel-related costs compared to human-driven trucks. During the 80-mile journey, a lead vehicle scouted the route for unexpected obstacles about five miles ahead of the autonomous semi. Another vehicle trailed behind on-half miles that was prepared to intervene if necessary. TuSimple says it has 70 autonomous trucks globally and two million miles of road testing completed.

The truck uses the company’s own perception technology that allows it to see 360 degrees around the vehicle and more than 3,000 feet away. And its system is capable of performing 600 trillion operations per second. Over the last one and a half years, TuSimple has completed 1,800 runs that accumulate to 150,000 miles along I-10 in order to prepare for the truck’s lone journey earlier this month. And the company, plans to continue testing its driver-out program into 2022. READ MORE

World’s First “Driver Out” Fully Autonomous Semi-Truck Operating on Open Public Roads | TuSimple

On December 22nd, TuSimple made history by becoming the first to successfully test a fully autonomous semi-truck on open public roads without a human in the vehicle and without human intervention. The run took place the evening of December 22nd and required TuSimple’s upfitted autonomous semi-truck to begin its journey from a large railyard in Tucson, Arizona, and travel more than 80 miles on surface streets and highways, safely arriving at a high-volume distribution center in the Phoenix metro area. Along the journey, TuSimple’s Autonomous Driving System (ADS) successfully navigated surface streets, traffic signals, on-ramps, off-ramps, emergency lane vehicles, and highway lane changes in open traffic while naturally interacting with other motorists.

Our number one story today is on the very soon-coming and imminent fall of Iran after Donald Trump has promised the Iranian protestors that the United States would step in and help them change their government militarily. This obviously is huge, but not the only story we are tracking for you today. Over in France, Macron has instructed his government to create a French Consulate Office in Greenland, to help stand against any aggression from Trump, something that has his MAGA followers cheering wildly.

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN: Emmanuel Macron Says Greenland Not For Sale And That France Will Open A Consulate To Stop Trump From Annexing Island

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Emmanuel Macron and France have thrown down the gauntlet on Greenland to US President Donald Trump to quell his territorial global ambitions

In June 2025, French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to Greenland and publicly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated talk about the United States potentially taking control of the strategically important Danish autonomous territory. Just the other day, France’s foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot said France will open a consulate in Greenland, scheduled for 6 February 2026 in the capital, Nuuk. Now we have a fight, let the battle for global supremacy begin.

” Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.” Psalm 140:1,2 (KJB)

Greenland sits astride Arctic shipping lanes, missile-defense corridors, rare earth mineral deposits, and future trade routes that will explode as polar ice continues to recede. Whoever influences Greenland influences the Arctic, and whoever dominates the Arctic controls a critical slice of the next global power structure. What we are watching is the slow resurrection of imperial competition, dressed up in modern language about sovereignty, cooperation, and diplomacy.

But underneath the polite press releases is the same old struggle for dominance that brought us World Wars I, II, and before you know it, III. Not only is France now daring the United States to make a move against its soon coming consulate, but Emmanuel Macron is personally daring Donald Trump to fulfill his inflammatory rhetoric.

Trump’s statements on Greenland in January

1. “We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not.” Said at a White House meeting with oil and gas executives, explaining his intent to act on Greenland because of what he claims are strategic threats from Russia and China. source

2. “We’re going to be doing something with Greenland, either the nice way or the more difficult way.” Trump added that he’d prefer a “deal” but hinted at tougher measures if necessary. source

3. “Anything less than having Greenland in the United States’ hands is unacceptable.” Trump insisted that U.S. control of Greenland was essential to him and urged NATO support for that aim. source

4. Implied urgency: “We need Greenland for national security, right now.” When asked if he was serious about taking Greenland, Trump said the island was needed for U.S. and allied security. source

Yesterday we wrote about the Christian Nationalists in the MAGA Movement who are not only cheering Trump on to take Greenland, they are demanding he not only take the island, but Canada as well. If Trump waits too much longer on Greenland, and France opens up their consulate as they have said they are, then the United States will essentially be waging a military operation against not only multiple NATO allies but against NATO itself. Has this been the plan all along? Will the United States form an alliance with Russia? Think before you answer, Christian, we are living in perilous times where strange things are taking place. You better get back to the Bible!

Donald Trump is once again floating the idea of U.S. control over Greenland, framing it as a national security necessity. But behind the rhetoric lies a scenario far more dangerous than it appears. From Arctic geography and brutal weather to NATO fallout and Nordic resistance, a Greenland invasion could spiral into a strategic nightmare for Washington. The question isn’t whether the U.S. could invade—but whether it could survive the consequences.

MAGA Christian Nationalists Are Wildly Applauding Donald Trump’s Territorial Ambitions To Fold Canada And Greenland Into Some ‘Greater America’ Dystopia

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

MAGA Christian Nationalists Are Cheering As President Donald Trump Floats Absorbing Canada And Greenland Into A ‘Greater America’ dystopia

On social media this week, self-described MAGA Christian nationalists erupted in applause after Donald Trump once again floated the idea of bringing Greenland—and now even Canada—under the control of the United States. What once sounded like typical Trump negotiating bravado has begun to harden into something more ideological, and we dare say, more sinister: the vision of a ‘Greater America’. You’re hearing it here for the first time, but I promise you, it will soon be coming from official White House messaging. It was a bad idea when Hitler tried it, and it’s an even worse idea now.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJB)

History is littered with grand national visions that promised security, restoration, and destiny through expansion. In the 20th century, Europe watched a similar dream unfold under the banner of a ‘Greater Germany’, complete with mythic language, strongman leadership, and the promise of national revival with global results. It did not end well. Yet online today, Trump’s rhetoric is not being met with caution, but celebration. How can this be, have we learned nothing from the past 100 years of human history? Evidentially not.

george-orwell-1984-75th-anniversary-edition-united-states-civil-war-leave-the-world-behind-christian-bookstore-palatka

To his most ardent supporters, Trump is not merely a former president pushing boundaries. He is portrayed as a providential strongman—a Cyrus-like figure—who will restore American dominance, redraw borders, and impose order on a crumbling world. But Scripture issues a direct warning against placing hope in political saviors. Nevertheless, the louder the rhetoric becomes, the louder the applause grows. Canada is dismissed as ‘weak and unserious’. Greenland is spoken of as a ‘strategic prize’ waiting to be claimed. Critics are brushed aside as globalists, traitors, or faithless cowards. What is absent from the discussion is any appreciable amount of biblical discernment.

The Bible does not teach that America is a covenant nation. Nor does it authorize Christians in the Church Age to pursue national expansion as though it were God’s work. That calling belonged exclusively to Old Testament Israel under a theocratic covenant—not to the body of Christ. The 7 Mountains Mandate has nothing common with Pauline doctrine. Zero. In fact, we warned you back in 2024 before Trump’s re-election that the majority of his MAGA followers were Charismatic Christian Nationalists, but sadly, very few listened.

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:” Philippians 3:20 (KJB)

The language surrounding this moment is becoming increasingly messianic, with political ambition framed as destiny. Territorial growth is spoken of as righteousness. Power itself is treated as proof of divine favor—despite the explicit rejection of that very mindset in scripture.

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” John 18:36 (KJB)

The danger is not merely political enthusiasm—it is political idolatry. Scripture warns that as the end of the Church Age approaches, men will prefer fables over truth and charisma over doctrine.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3–4 (KJB)

A ‘Greater America’ may sound bold, reassuring, even patriotic. But the Bible reminds believers that our battle is not fought with borders, ballots, or brute force.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 (KJB)

Supporting a political candidate is one thing. Recasting him as a divinely appointed architect of national expansion is something else entirely. When Christians cheer the absorption of nations as though it were God’s redemptive plan, they have confused nationalism with Christianity—and power with providence.

America does not need to become greater in size. The Church does not need a strongman. And Jesus Christ does not need a human geopolitical empire to reign.

“No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:4 (KJB)

Even at this late hour, history whispers warnings for those willing to listen. Grand visions of national destiny have a way of demanding unquestioned loyalty, silencing dissent, and baptizing ambition in religious language. If you support Trump’s ‘Greater America’ just remember that history is against you every bit as much as the Bible is against you. The Bible calls believers to something a lot higher, something eternal. The answer has never been a Greater America. It has always been the gospel of Jesus Christ—rightly divided, faithfully preached, and boldly believed until He comes, and He’ll be here sooner than you think.
