In July, President Biden said American forces would be out of Afghanistan by September. He was asked:
REPORTER: Is a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan now inevitable?
THE PRESIDENT: No, it is not.
REPORTER: Why?
THE PRESIDENT: Because you — the Afghan troops have 300,000 well-equipped — as well-equipped as any army in the world — and an air force against something like 75,000 Taliban. It is not inevitable.“
Over the last few days, the Taliban has been capturing many Afghan cities including regional capitals. Young girls have been forcibly taken as wives and sex slaves for Taliban fighters. Collaborators who have worked with Americans are being rounded up.
As I type this blog post, Kabul is being evacuated like Saigon was in 1975. Back then helicopters left directly from the roof of the American embassy in Vietnam. Today they leave the compound from which America ruled Afghanistan, while the last American personnel destroy intelligence papers and secure their final loads of possessions. American planes are airlifting out fleeing Americans while desperate Afghans flood the runway. “At least five people were killed in Kabul airport as hundreds of people tried to forcibly enter planes leaving the Afghan capital, witnesses told Reuters. One witness said he had seen the bodies of five people being taken to a vehicle. Another witness said it was not clear whether the victims were killed by gunshots or in a stampede. US troops, who are in charge of the airport, earlier fired in the air to scatter the crowd, an US official said.” A few are dying today in desperation, holding on to landing gear and other parts of the planes before falling to their deaths a few miles later. Many know they are on record helping the American backed regime and will be killed by the Taliban.
“US intelligence agencies who said just 4 days ago that Kabul could fall in 90 days have revised the figure to 72 hours,” warns Bruno Macaes: “Whatever deal was struck, the Taliban are respecting their side, no attacks on evacuating Americans reported.”
But even that timeline assessment was overly optimistic: Sharmine Narwani reported: “President Ashraf Ghani greets a Taliban delegation at the presidential palace a few hours ago, after signing an agreement to resign and transfer powers to the Taliban.” China has already offered to establish friendly diplomatic relations with the Taliban.
Kabul has fallen, and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan begins. Why? Why did American leadership suddenly decide to abandon the area to the Taliban?
Years ago, I wrote a book suggesting that Bible prophecy – most specifically in the book of Daniel, warned of an end times empire that would rule in the regions that encompassed the same areas as Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian and Greek empires had before. I suggested that the new empire that would go to war against what is left of Christian Europe would be a revived Islamic caliphate – an alliance of Islamic nations against the West. There are already several nations that will happily join such a caliphate. Turkey and Iran are going to be the strongest members, and prophecy warns they will unite with many other nations and that the pan-Islamic caliphate will ally with China.
My interpretations have had many specific details wrong before – especially when I tried to guesstimate the timing of events. But Nostradamus also suggests the same war. What the Bible calls Armageddon, we might just call WWIII. Nostradamus prophecies warn of an Islamic invasion of Europe in a world war that will END in late 2028. Current events seem to be falling in line to allow this. Why are Western leaders encouraging it?
