Following a week of drama that required multiple voting rounds, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was finally chosen as the next Speaker of the House of Representatives early on Saturday morning. After the 14th vote failed to secure Kevin McCarthy, chaos ensued after he walked back to confront Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and others who were refusing to support his nomination to be the Speaker of the House.

Fingers were pointed, heated words were exchanged, and violence was barely averted as the incoming Chairman of the Armed Service Committee, Republican Mike Rogers of Alabama, lunged towards Matt Gaetz to attack him. Mike Rogers had to be physically restrained to avoid violence.
No matter what was said, what assurances were given, what threats we made, or what concessions we offered, the chaos, pressure, and intimidation in the US Congress were more than enough to convince the non-conforming Republicans to give up on holding out and change their vote so as not to prevent Kevin McCarthy from becoming the third-most powerful person in America, the Speaker of the House.
We are doomed! According to prophecy, our nation will use coercion, threats, and physical force to compel the rest of the world to accept the Mark of the Beast. The future of the United States in relation to the restoration of papal power is revealed in Revelation 13. Prophecy says our nation will “exercise all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed” (Revelation 13:12).
The election of Rep. Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House could be the start of this prophetic preview. The lamb-like beast will behave and speak like the dragon, according to Revelation 13:11. Undoubtedly, some of these displays were present today in the US Congress.
Finally, John the Revelator sees the United States making an image of the beast so that those who don’t worship the first beast, Rome, can be killed. I’m sure that this spirit of intolerance was on the hearts and minds of many Americans as Rep. Matt Gaetz refused to follow the party line and vote accordingly. Don’t believe for a second that they won’t force regular Americans to support their policies if they can do this to members of their own party.
We are entering a time that will try the souls of all men and women. A testing time is coming that will prove who will be true and faithful to God, and who will yield their convictions because of pressure or threats of violence. Only those who make Christ the center of their lives now, in preparation for the coming crisis, will be able to stand firm.

It’s an end to a means.

When you are expected to vote a certain way based on party affiliation then that shows that your vote is bought and paid for not by the constituents who voted you into office but the powers that work behind the scenes calling all the shots. The House of Representatives is nothing more than a puppet show to appease the masses. And the same for the Senate.
Our Representative is Christ and the place of debate is the courts of Heaven. Our adversary is ready to accuse but we have an advocate with the Father! The war was already fought and Satan is cast down…woe unto the inhabitants of the earth for he knows he has but a short time.
Jeannette says
Order out of chaos. It actually does work.
Marcelo says
You forgot to mention that McCarthy is a Roman Catholic to certainly go by the bidding of the mother church in Rome, and proceed with the agenda already in place and followed by Peloci. The end draws night…
C.W. Good says
Calm down. It’s only “swamp creatures” fighting. There’s no Biblical meaning here.
Ernestina says
Matt Gaetz was threatened with “consequences” and folded.
