PRÉCIS ON TRUMP’S COMING DESTRUCTION OF NATO OVER IRAN: WORLD CHAOS IN THE OFFING

“The Mad King, the Bad King, the Sad King. Ring-a-ding-ding, all Hail the King!” ― STEPHEN KING, Black House, 2001; edited

SCRIPTURE. “Like a city that is BROKEN DOWN and without walls [leaving it unprotected] is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble].” – PROVERBS 25:28, AMP

KEY TERM. “BROKEN DOWN.” ‘Parats’ [פְּ֭רוּצָה]: “To break out, burst forth suddenly; to make a breach; to increase and spread abroad.” NOTE: “The verb conveyed by פרַץ repeatedly pictures ‘a sudden, vigorous bursting of boundaries—physical, numerical, military, spiritual.’ Whether walls, enemies, flocks, or national borders, anything that restrains is shown ‘yielding to a power greater than itself.’ The term is therefore used both Positively (God-given growth and deliverance) and Negatively (Divine Judgment that tears down human defenses).”

QUOTATION (UNEDITED). “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!” – President DONALD J. TRUMP, Truth Social, Easter Sunday, Apr. 5, 2026

COMMENTARY. “‘He that hath no rule over his own spirit.’ – His affections and passions, puts ‘NO RESTRAINT,’ unto them, as the word signifies. No guard against them, no fence about them, to curb his Curiosity, to check his Pride and Vanity, to restrain his Wrath and Anger and Revenge, and keep within due bounds his Ambition and itch of Vainglory.

‘Is like a city that broken down and without walls.’ – Into which they may go with Pleasure, and which is exposed to the Rapine and Violence of everyone. ‘And so a man that has no command of himself and passions, but gives the reins to them, is exposed to the Enemy of Souls, SATAN and is liable to every sin, snare and temptation.’” – JOHN GILL, An Exposition of the Old and New Testament, 9 vols., 1746-1763; edited

FIVE WAYS TO CHAOS. As we watch with some agony President Trump’s chaotic daily rollout of the War in Iran, I have been reading and listening to a growing number of American military leaders speaking severe warnings about the wisdom of fighting this way. Which of course places our entire military establishment in serious peril as they now consider whether or not to even obey the President’s Orders on a day-to-day basis.

As Paul writes: “Yet even lifeless things, whether flute or harp, when producing a sound, if they do not produce distinct [musical] tones, how will anyone [listening] know what is piped or played? And if the [war] bugle produces an INDISTINCT SOUND [‘adelos’ (ἄδηλο) ‘hidden, undertain, unreliable’], who will prepare himself for battle?” – 1 CORINTHIANS 14:7-8, AMP

We therefore turn to a crystal clear analysis by two experts, NATO Specialist VICTOR JACK and Defense Affairs journalist JACK DETSH, both writing for Politico. Their essay is titled, “5 Ways Trump Could Destroy NATO” (Apr. 2, 2026; edited).

OPEN. “‘Donald Trump this week dramatically stepped up his threats toward NATO as his rage at America’s Allies intensified over their refusal to join the U.S. war against Iran.’ On Wednesday [April 1, 2026], the U.S. President said he was ‘absolutely’ considering quitting the Alliance. Although he didn’t elaborate on that threat in a televised address later that evening, the remarks were his strongest yet in underlining his distaste for the 77-year-old pact. ‘I’ll be discussing my disgust with NATO,’ he said ahead of his speech, later telling POLITICO: ‘I’m disappointed in them … if I ever did need them, they wouldn’t be there.”’

SCENARIO 1: RAMP UP RHETORIC. “Dialing up the threats, criticism and rhetoric on NATO would continue what Trump is doing now. The U.S. President has already repeatedly chipped away at NATO’s Collective Defense Clause, known as Article 5, and cast doubt as to whether he would really send U.S. troops to defend the country’s allies. Reiterating this week that the Alliance is a ‘Paper Tiger,’ he added that Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘knows that too.’ European leaders have highlighted this risk.”

SCENARIO 2: ACT AS SPOILER. “Trump could also choose to make life difficult for Allies inside NATO without going in all guns blazing. That’s already happening in a limited way. The U.S. has exploited the fact that all policy documents in NATO working committees are approved unanimously to block reports on softer issues like climate change and human security, sometimes alongside other Allies, two NATO diplomats said. Work on the latter topic has effectively ‘gone to zero,’ one of the diplomats said. Overall, ‘The U.S. still has a solid team, they participate in committees … they negotiate,’ the same diplomat argued, but added that Washington could do more damage if it wanted to by bringing work to a halt in more central committees such as those dealing with Ukraine and Russia.”

SCENARIO 3: WiIHDRAW TROOPS. “Washington could also decide to pull its troops from Europe. The U.S. currently has between 67,500 and 85,000 troops stationed on the continent across at least 31 permanent bases and 19 military sites. Trump has limited maneuverability: Under a 2025 law he must keep 76,000 troops in Europe unless the pullback is shorter than 45 days or he obtains approval from Congress. If Trump withdrew the legal maximum of roughly 9,000 soldiers, that would be ‘Reasonably Damaging’ for the Alliance but not catastrophic, said Ed Arnold, a senior defense expert at the Royal United Services Institute think tank and a former NATO official. European allies could replace those troops, he said, or match them with equivalent capabilities like long-range missiles.”

SCENARIO 4: SOFT EXIT. “Trump could also bring the Alliance to its knees without formally quitting. At the less extreme end of the spectrum, the U.S. could pull out of NATO’s Four-Year Military Planning Cycle, which determines what kind and how many troops each member must assign to the Alliance in an Invasion Scenario, based on three Region-Specific defense plans. Doing so technically wouldn’t affect American military commitments, said Arnold, but would effectively freeze them as pledged in the last cycle that ended last year. That would leave Europeans scrambling to plug gaps — including in areas like air defense, intelligence and air-to-air refueling. The U.S. could also Boycott Meetings at NATO or Withdraw its Delegation. That would be ‘Very Damaging,’ Arnold said, since it would effectively paralyze the Alliance’s work given it relies on unanimous decisions.”

SCENARIO 5: HARD EXIT. Formally leaving NATO comes with difficult legal hurdles: Trump would technically have to win the backing of two-thirds of the Senate to do so before triggering Article 13 of the Alliance’s Founding Treaty — a process that takes one year. Yet the U.S. President can also quit treaties unilaterally — as he did in 2020 when he left the Open Skies Mutual Aircraft Surveillance Treaty. U.S. courts could move to block that, though the Judicial Branch has often been reluctant to intervene in foreign policy. Still, such a move would certainly invite lawsuits from Democrat-led states or U.S. citizens doing business in Europe. Congress could join if either Chamber flips after the November Mid-Term Election, said Scott Anderson, Senior Editor of the Lawfare Project [nonprofit think tank fighting against Anti-Semitism]. ‘It feels to me like judges are less willing to side with him after a year of executive overreach,’ said one U.S. Defense official. ‘President Trump has made his disappointment with NATO and other allies clear,’ said White House deputy spokesperson Anna Kelly, “and as the President emphasized, ‘The United States will remember.’”

THE PROSPECTS. I must remind the readers and viewers of the Base Nature of Donald Trump as, at his core, “THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS,” as the Editors of the National Catholic Reporter recently put it:

“‘President Donald Trump is the Epitome of a Destroyer who knows what he hates but has no idea how to build anything beautiful.’ He has greater joy in firing people than mentoring them.

He is like the Developer who tears down a historic building and puts up a flashy monstrosity. He fills in wetlands rich with life for a golf course. When he is finished, he doesn’t pay his subcontractors. And if the project loses money, he declares bankruptcy and walks away. No wonder no American bank will loan him money.

The truly powerful are Creators, not Destroyers, Builders, not Demolishers, Life-Givers, not Killers, Fixers, not Complainers, Nurturers, not Bullies.” – (Jan. 8, 2025; edited).

THE SCRIPTURES. “As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the former ones, and he will SUBDUE [‘shephel (יְהַשְׁפִּֽל׃), ‘abase, humble, bring down’] three kings. He will speak words against the Most High [God] and wear down the saints of the Most High, and he will intend to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, [two] times, and half a time [three and one-half years] …

Let no one in any way deceive or entrap you, for that day will not come unless the APOSTASY comes first [that is, the great rebellion, the abandonment of the faith by professed Christians], and the MAN OF LAWLESSNESS is revealed, the SON OF DESTRUCTION [the ANTICHRIST, the one who is destined to be destroyed], who opposes and exalts himself [so proudly and so insolently] above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he [actually enters and] takes his seat in the temple of God, publicly proclaiming that he himself is God. Do you not REMEMBER that when I was still with you, I was telling you these things?” – DANIEL 7:24-26; 2 THESSALONIANS 2:35, AMP

DK’S TAKE. So what do I expect, beloved? Given the last 10 years of Trump’s Political Conduct, why would I in any way expect him to do anything remotely Reasonable or Rational in the interests of others?

‘For even little children!’

‘Therefore, I fully believe that Donald Trump, the very Beast of Babylon, will ravage NATO and the entire substructure of World Peace, brazenly and deceptively proclaiming himself a THE GREAT PEACEMAKER.’ Cases in Point: The Abraham Accords. The Board of Peace. Indeed, the FIFA Peace Prize (Football Unites the World), and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu-sponsored Israel Prize for Trump’s “significant contributions to Israel and the Jewish People.”

AI OVERVIEW (4.6.2026). “As of early 2026, Donald Trump serves as the 47th President of the United States (having taken office on January 20, 2025), and the phrase “Trump the Destroyer’ has emerged in political commentary, essays, and analysis to describe his governing style and impact on existing political and global structures.

Commentators and critics frequently use this moniker to characterize his approach to DISMANTLING established policies, norms, and alliances, often framing it as a ‘Reckless Destruction’ or a ‘Rearrangement’ of the World Order.’

THE DETAILS. Here is an excellent Summary of the Evidence that cannot be ignored, unless of course you are become a Blind Sycophant of this Beast.

Targeting Global Alliances: Critics argue that Trump is Dismantling the Alliances and International Systems that have defined post-World War II international relations, replacing them with a more transactional, “America First” approach.

Political Warfare: He is often described as Targeting Democratic Institutions, the Civil Service, and long-standing Political Traditions within the United States, including his use of Executive Orders to target specific government funds.

“Arsonist” Perspective: Some analysts, such as Lucy P. Marcus, Founder and CEO of Marcus Venture Consulting Ltd., and Professor of Leadership and Governance at IE Business School, has described Trump’s actions as creating ‘Intentional Chaos’—similar to a “Skillful Arsonist”—leading to increased Global Instability and Insecurity.

“Disruptor” Rebranding: While some supporters may view him as a “Disruptor” breaking up a corrupt status quo, opponents argue this Disruption is Destructive, destroying rather than reforming government operations.

Revenge Politics: Concerns have been raised by observers, such as historian and political analyst Allan Lichtman regarding a “Revenge Term” focused on using Federal Law enforcement against political rivals.

CODA: PREPARE FOR CHAOS. Right about here, wisely recall the Days of Noah and Lot, wherein the following was taking place in the then deeply corrupted world.

“And as it was in the DAYS OF NOE, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

Likewise also as it was in the DAYS OF LOT; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” – LUKE 17:26-30, KJV

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. “‘A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.’ I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!” – Truth Social, April 7, 2026; edited

The High Crime of Genocide. “‘GENOCIDE is the deliberate, systematic destruction—in whole or in part—of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, defined by intent to destroy the group as such.’ Coined by Raphael Lemkin in 1944, it is recognized as a ‘CRIME OF CRIMES’ under International Law. It includes [wanton] killing, causing serious harm, and implementing destructive conditions.” – AI Overview, ret. Apr. 7, 2026; edited

In all the annals of the entirety of human history and civilization, there has never come forth as Maniacal as DONALD JOHN TRUMP. Not Julius Caesar. Not Genghis Khan. Not Alexander the Great. Not Tamerlane. Not Cyrus the Great. Nor even Bonaparte, Stalin, nor Hitler.

And here is why.

“AND POWER WAS GIVEN HIM [Antichrist] over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are NOT written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world … 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.” – REVELATION 13:7-8; 16-17, KJV

UPDATE. The United States and Iran, through Pakistani mediation (and assistance from China), agreed to a Two-Week Conditional Ceasefire starting April 8, 2026, aiming to halt a six-week-old war. The Deal, initiated by a U.S. deadline threatening massive retaliation,’ including the ‘Complete Destruction of Iran’s entire Civilization’

IRAN’S 10-POINT PLAN. (Clash Report, April 8, 2026; edited).

Strait of Hormuz to be reopened “Under the co-ordination of the Armed Forces of Iran.”

Establishment of a “Secure Transit Protocol” in the Strait of Hormuz.

The War against “All Components” of Iran’s so-called Axis of Resistance to end.

US forces to withdraw from “All bases and points of deployment within the region.”

“Full Payment” of compensation to Iran.

Lifting of “All primary sanctions.”

Lifting of “All Secondary Sanctions.”

“Termination” of all UN Security Council Resolutions.

“Termination” of all IAEA resolutions on Iran’s Nuclear Programme.

“Release” of all frozen Iranian assets and properties abroad.

Question: Is America better off now than before we launched the War, with Israel’s support?

THREE PREPARATIONS. The PRE-WRATH VIEW that I support presupposes: The True Remnant Church is “NOT appointed to [God’s] wrath” (1 Thessalonians 5:9). Thus, we must be prepared to move through the First Five Seals of Revelation 6 (1-11), until the Sixth Seal of God’s Wrath explodes upon the world scene. At which point, or an instant before, Jesus Christ raises the true, triumphant REMNANT CHURCH to join Him in the clouds (1 Thessalonians 4:17), to be thus wed to Him forever!

So to conclude our important conversation, we finish with the Shout from Heaven: “GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER!” This brief section is adapted from my book, The Sixth Seal II (2024, pp. 125-131). DK: As I began to draft this original section in 2015, I distinctly heard that ‘Voice that is not a voice’ instruct: “Prepare for 30 days off the Grid.”Ten years later (2025) I read a sermon by David Wilkerson in which the Lord had told him the exact same thing around 1985, some 40 years ago now. Selah.

SPIRITUAL. As SEALS 1 AND 2 OPEN with the Rise of Donald Trump, the American Antichrist (Revelation 6:1-2), we see Antichrist already going out “Conquering and to conquer.” He will “take peace from the earth” and ‘ignite many wars’ (Revelation 6:3-4). Thus, for wisdom, protection and a life of purpose, ‘ASK Jesus Christ to take over.’ There is no set prayer for settling accounts with God. Essentially, it is simply: ‘Calling on Him by Name and sincerely asking for His Rescue.’ This is of course accompanied with Confession of your own failures (sins), Request for forgiveness (since we all need it!), and a Promise that with His great help and power, you will try hard to follow His Instructions as a Child of God. DK: Also Purchase a Bible (I prefer either New King James or New American Standard), and begin reading responsible, orthodox (sound) Biblical Teaching and Commentary.

FINANCIAL. As we approach the OPENING OF THE THIRD SEAL dealing with Economic Chaos and ultimately Severe Restrictions on basic goods and services (Revelation 6:5-6), there are a few basic things to do in order to prepare. One, Downsize right away, offloading unnecessary luxuries and overhead you no longer need. Second, Banks will likely start to limit access, restrict withdrawals, and even fail. Have a Plan B (we used to call them, “Rainy Day Funds”). Buy a Strong Box and keep most of your cash there, consider purchasing some Precious Metals (though prices for both gold and silver have already skyrocketed), and sell off all bitcoin currency as soon as possible. And, of course, reduce your debt load as much and soon as you can.

PHYSICAL. Now I am not a ‘Prepper’ nor expert in these matters, again, I can read and learn from the experts. Here are a few MINIMAL SURVIVAL PROTOCOLS as SEALS 4 AND 5 OPEN (Pestilence, Environmental Collapse, as the Animal Kingdom begins to forage desperately for food). By this time also, a state of Martial Law will have likely been imposed by the Antichrist, thus it is important to have enough of the following to survive: A weapon, ammunition, utensils and plates, a solar generator for heat and light; nonperishable food items; access to water, storage, or water purifier; some sort of communication device to receive emergency messages; games and books for leisure time as normal routines are injured; two sorts of Survival Manuals: One, a Bible; Two, a Survivor’s Handbook of some kind.

CODA. During the tumultuous 1960s that appeared to many of us to be the Beginning of the End of all things, American Poet-Prophet Laureate, Bob Dylan, warned us of the Coming Judgments on a Land that had lost her way.

One of those songs was “On the Eve of Destruction,” penned by P.F. Sloan in 1964, and recorded by many artists back then, including Barry McGuire in 1965.

Its last two stanzas are chillingly proper thoughts on which to close out today’s discussion.

“And think of all the hate there is in Red China. Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama. Ah, you may leave here for four days in space. But when you return, it’s the same old place. The poundin’ of the drums, the pride and disgrace. You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace. Hate your next door neighbor but don’t forget to say grace. And you tell me. Over and over and over and over again, my friend. You don’t believe we’re on the Eve of Destruction? ‘No, no, you don’t believe we’re on the Eve of Destruction.’”

No, beloved, we have NOT BELIEVED. This is indeed, the First Sin of American Christendom that shall surely consume multitudes in the Days Ahead, if we do not AWAKEN.

‘Beginning with the Shepherds,’ who might well want to Reconsider their Voluntary Blindness. ‘While it is still Day, The Night is quickly coming when no one can work.’
