The Inward Struggle of a Nation and a Man
The Inward Struggle of a Nation and a Man
Chapter 1
Daniel Cross knelt by the worn, wooden pew in the small church outside Des Moines. A King James Bible, dog-eared and highlighted with years of study, lay open before him. Lord, he prayed, in this time of trouble, guide us. Show me the path, for I am but a man, fallible and weak.
Daniel was no stranger to hardship. A devout Christian, he had spent years preaching against the tides of deception he saw sweeping over the nation. Yet, in 2025, the struggles of America had taken on an apocalyptic tone. The nation was at war—not just externally, with whispers of conflict in Europe against Russia led by Ursula von der Leyen’s coalition, but internally, a moral and spiritual battle that mirrored Daniel’s own inner conflicts.
The return of Donald Trump to the political stage marked the beginning of a new chapter in America’s inward struggle. To Daniel, Trump was a paradox. He admired the former president’s boldness, his commitment to American sovereignty, and his resistance to the technocratic elite. Yet Daniel also saw how Trump had become an idol for many—a king given to the people in their anger, as he had read in 1 Samuel. They didn’t want God, they wanted a man, Daniel thought, echoing the story of Saul.
Chapter 2
Trump’s return to power came at a heavy price. At least two assassination attempts had been thwarted—both rumored to have ties to BlackRock and Ukraine. The whispers in conservative circles were deafening: the global elite wanted Trump gone, for he represented a disruption to their plans. BlackRock-controlled media had spun the stories into fringe conspiracy theories, but Daniel wasn’t convinced. The advertisements connecting the failed attempts to BlackRock weren’t coincidences, he thought.
As Daniel watched the nation rally around Trump, he saw the beginnings of a dangerous cult-like devotion. They’re looking to him as their savior, he confided to Pastor Will after Sunday service. They don’t see that even if he succeeds, the technological agenda marches on.
Pastor Will nodded solemnly. Just like Ted Kaczynski warned, he replied. The system is too entrenched. Trump might slow it down, but he won’t stop it. The people will accept stargates and transhumanism if it means they can live their lives in comfort.
Chapter 3
Meanwhile, Europe spiraled further into chaos. Ursula von der Leyen’s government tightened its grip on free speech, pushing through laws to suppress dissent in the name of combating misinformation. Rumors of a military draft spread like wildfire. Young men and women across Europe faced the possibility of being sent to fight a war against Russia, a war they didn’t believe in.
Inflation soared. By the winter of 2025, northern Europe faced an energy crisis of historic proportions. People in Norway and Sweden froze in their homes, unable to afford the skyrocketing prices of heating. Daniel read about it online and prayed for the believers there. They’ll need faith to get through this, he murmured.
Chapter 4
America’s inward struggle continued. Trump, despite the odds, pressed forward with his agenda. Factories reopened, jobs returned, and the borders were secured. Yet the nation remained divided. Many celebrated his victories, while others warned that his leadership was setting the stage for a surveillance state, masked under the guise of patriotism.
Daniel saw it all unfolding. The technological agenda continued, as Ted Kaczynski had foreseen. The people, desperate for stability, embraced AI, digital IDs, and biosecurity measures. They’ll trade freedom for safety, Daniel warned his small Bible study group. And one day, it’ll be too late to turn back.
Chapter 5
By the end of 2025, the world teetered on the edge of catastrophe. Europe braced for another brutal winter. In America, Trump faced renewed threats, both political and personal. BlackRock and other corporate giants fought to regain control, while the globalists doubled down on their efforts to implement the technological dystopia they had envisioned.
Daniel’s inward struggle mirrored the nation’s. He wrestled with his faith, his doubts, and his role in the unfolding drama. He prayed daily for wisdom and discernment, knowing that the worst was yet to come.
Chapter 6
The Great Tribulation began with a whisper. It wasn’t an explosion or an invasion but a quiet shift—a new digital currency tied to a global AI system. Participation was mandatory. Those who resisted were cut off from society, unable to buy or sell. Daniel and his small community of believers retreated to the countryside, living off the land and relying on God’s provision.
This is it, Daniel said, gathering his family and friends in the dim light of a barn-turned-chapel. The time of Jacob’s trouble. The worst time in human history. But we must endure to the end. Hold fast to the Word. Do not take the mark.
As the world descended into chaos, Daniel’s faith became his anchor. The promises of the King James Bible gave him strength. For then shall be great tribulation, he quoted, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be (Matthew 24:21).
The struggle was not over. For Daniel, for America, and for the world, the final battle loomed. But through it all, he clung to the hope of Christ’s return, knowing that the darkness would not last forever.
