Prophecy watchers know a new system of government is coming. We see signs that the system is already forming. Nothing says “one world system” and totalitarian government like today’s Democratic Socialism. This is the brand being marketed by Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They have legions of followers and like-minded radicals.
The Antichrist needs a one-world system, and Democratic Socialism is helping to build it today. It will be the governing system during the Tribulation, also called the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7). Many just call it Daniel’s 70th Week (Daniel 9:24-27).
The Antichrist Cannot Allow Capitalism
Democratic Socialism intends to replace capitalism. The Antichrist cannot allow free-market capitalism. He must control everything. And leftist lunatics, who think they are doing the world a favor with their form of government, are actually setting the stage for absolute evil.
A recent Gallup Poll revealed that two-thirds of Democrats view socialism positively. A new poll from CNN finds that a third of Democrats identify as Democratic Socialists. They are drawn to hot-button issues such as government-run healthcare, public housing, and higher corporate taxes. And a startling number of the under-age-35 generation prefer such a system. Today’s education system has glorified it!
It should alarm every freedom-loving American that at least one Democratic Socialist—the above-mentioned Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez— is a frontrunner for President of the United States in 2028.
Just Another Form of Marxism
Socialism is just another form of Marxism as it divides people into classes and thrives on class warfare. It promotes the redistribution of wealth, but it is government that decides who gets what.
Both Dr. Mark Hitchcock and Dr. David Jeremiah have presented compelling messages warning of the growing threat of this system in America. Both suggest this could even lead to America’s demise as we know it, and that it is preparing the way for a Mr. Fix-It.
Bring Israel Down As Well
Democratic Socialists also despise the nation of Israel. They want to end all U.S. support of Israel, make Jerusalem the capital of a Palestinian state, and bring Israel down to defeat.
They favor immigrants and criminals, as they want to abolish all prisons! They would defund the Department of War. Their priority is the Green New Deal. But sadly, they are gaining strength in America every day, and their ideology of totalitarianism/Communism has killed over 100 million people in the last 120 years.
Democratic Socialists see this as a form of economic justice. The world is a zero-sum game split between the rich and oppressive one percent, whose wealth and success are driven by “unfettered capitalism.” They compare it to Roosevelt’s New Deal. Both FDR and Hoover’s economic policies prolonged the Great Depression—hardly a legacy we should aspire to emulate.
Is This Why America Is Absent from Bible Prophecy?
Clearly, if left unchecked, this philosophy and political system will lead to America’s downfall. Does this explain the absence of America from Bible prophecy? I think so. Elections do have consequences. Bible believers have a front-row seat to watch things form that were predicted long ago; however, this is a tough one to watch.
It is comforting to know that true believers escape that terrible time to come known as the Tribulation. But we are stuck here watching all sorts of end-time activity form, daily wondering how much more we have to witness.
Democratic Socialism is seeking a one-world system that is outlined in Revelation 13. It will have a single leader. Capitalism will be crushed. Believers will be gone.
What we see today is setting the stage for the ultimate global cabal.
