The BRICS+ alliance has grown:<\/p>\n

BRICS is a key platform for the global majority \u2013 Lavrov<\/h2>\n

16 May 2025<\/p>\n

The BRICS group has become a leading platform for aligning the interests of the global majority, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday in a video message to participants of the 2nd BRICS Women\u2019s Entrepreneurship Forum.<\/p>\n

With its current membership, Lavrov said, the organization now accounts for close to half of the planet\u2019s population and around 40% of global GDP in terms of purchasing power parity \u2013 surpassing the combined economic weight of the G7.<\/p>\n

Given these figures, Lavrov argued, it is natural that BRICS continues to attract countries from the Global South and East, as many \u201cseek equal and mutually beneficial partnerships for the sake of joint development.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe view BRICS as a focal point for coordinating the interests of the World Majority\u2019s leading countries, a key pillar of a multipolar world, and an important mechanism for advancing genuinely multilateral cooperation,\u201d<\/em> Lavrov said. …<\/p>\n

Lavrov also emphasized that the initiatives put forward at the forum will certainly be considered in the run-up to the BRICS summit scheduled for July 6\u20137 in Rio de Janeiro, and will \u201ccontribute to the collective efforts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

BRICS was established in 2009 by Brazil, Russia, India, and China, with South Africa joining in 2011. In 2024, the bloc extended its full membership to Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.\u00a0 https:\/\/www.rt.com\/africa\/617684-lavrov-brics-platform-global-majority\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On 24 October 2024, an additional 13 countries, namely Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Uzbekistan and Vietnam, were invited to participate as “partner countries”. There are even reports that Georgia and Serbia, nations that have applied to become members of the European Union could be perspective candidates for BRICS–though Serbia, at least, has publicly still pushed to be a member of the European Union.<\/p>\n

The European Union itself has 450,000,000 people. And according to its president Ursula von der Leyen, nations with an addition 150,000,000 people want to join in. She made that comment related to trade pressures from the Trump Administration (see\u00a0EU President says because of Donald Trump \u2018The West as we knew it no longer exists\u2019<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I believe that time will come when the EU will make a deal with BRICS. And it has already taken steps to make deals with BRICS members and prospective partner nations (see European Union seeks to improve trade ties with India as it faces Donald Trump\u2019s tariff threats<\/a> and see European Union\u2019s reputation and influence growing with ASEAN and Central Asian nations<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Getting Gentile nations to trade more with each other is one of the unintended consequences of Donald Trump\u2019s trade policies and statements. Notice something from my latest book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump\u2019s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?<\/a>\u00a0as well as Amazon print\u00a0Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump\u2019s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?<\/a><\/span><\/span>:<\/p>\n

\n

Donald Trump\u2019s tariff and other economic policies are getting the Gentile nations of Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia to look to trade more with each other. An unintended consequence of his rhetoric and policies is that they are encouraging the end-time rise of the final time of the Gentiles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(Thiel B.\u00a0Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump\u2019s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?<\/a>\u00a0Nazarene Books, 2025)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I wrote BEFORE Donald Trump look office this year, more of the world\u2019s nations are starting to look away from the USA for trade.<\/p>\n

While many are focused on Donald Trump and his plans to increase USA influence, consider that various others want the Gentile powers to rise up:<\/p>\n

\n

The era of Eurasia has come, and Hungary must seek out opportunities in this new world<\/h2>\n
\n

February 2, 2025<\/p>\n

The first Commentary Evening of the conservative magazine Komment\u00e1r was held, where M\u00e1rton B\u00e9k\u00e9s, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, gave a welcoming speech, followed by a lecture by Dr. Levente Horv\u00e1th, director of the Eurasia Center.\u00a0Mandiner<\/a>\u00a0wrote up a review of the event.<\/p>\n

Levente Horv\u00e1th explained that after the 500-year Atlantic era, it is now the era of Eurasia. \u201cHungary is the foundation of Eurasian thought, therefore we must throw away Western glasses and step out of the Western information bubble,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrainwashing is taking place in the West with soft power and Hollywood. We believe that the Western world is a superior civilization, we look down on everything outside of it. We are used to the West leading the world, but there is a world outside of America. We have to understand that every civilization thinks differently about the world, now Asian countries are coming up,\u201d he said.\u00a0 …<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e1s Kosztur, senior researcher at the 21st Century Institute, commented that Eurasia no longer refers solely to former Soviet territories. With Russia \u201copening up to the east and south to a greater extent,\u201d it has come to signify the integration of Europe and Asia as a whole. \u201cThis partly coincides with the Chinese Belt and Road project, as they are trying to bring the two into harmony,\u201d he said. …<\/p>\n

According to Kosztur, \u201cWe need to clarify what we want. If we only pay attention to how the great power movements develop, it is easy to get lost in the struggles.\u201d<\/p>\n

While both the U.S. and China appear open to closer cooperation, Europe, and Hungary on its own, must \u201cform a stable point.\u201d https:\/\/rmx.news\/hungary\/the-era-of-eurasia-has-come-and-hungary-must-seek-out-opportunities-in-this-new-world\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, between its Eurasian Economic Union and BRICS, Russia has been forging a new confederation to form. Add to that Donald Trump’s tariffs and other threats, plus China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the European Union’s expansion hopes, and we can see the rise of the Gentiles.<\/p>\n

The USA has imposed many sanctions for many years. Sanctions are intended to punish a country, but they also have consequences for the nation that implements them. Currently, the USA benefits from most international trade as most of the time nations use US dollars for trade. Every time a nation stops doing that, or reduces doing that, it has a negative effect on the economy of the USA.<\/p>\n

As I have written before, there is a price to pay for US sanctions (watch US Sanctions and Tariffs leading to New World Order?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Pushing Gentile nations closer together looks to be at least one of the unintended consequences of US sanctions, bullying, and tariffs.<\/p>\n

While much of the mainstream media in the USA seems focused on internal politics, much of the world is moving towards a type of integration that will result in the final time of the Gentiles (Luke 21:24; see also The Times of the Gentiles<\/a>) and the end of Anglo-American dominance.<\/p>\n

While the European Union<\/a> is not part of Asia, BRICS+, or China\u2019s One Belt, One Road Initiative (also called the Silk Road project) its Global Gateway project connects Europe to more locations in Asia–and Europe itself has pledged to make more connections to Asia (see\u00a0More action on India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, which is a subset of Europe\u2019s \u2018Global Gateway\u2019 program<\/a>).<\/p>\n

A de facto<\/em> coordination of Gentile powers against the Anglo-Americans is occurring.<\/p>\n

Based upon several biblical prophecies, I believe that the Asians and Europeans will cooperate, for a time, and eliminate the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies. They will divide their lands among them per Daniel 11:39, and many of the survivors will be made slaves (for more detail check out the article Will the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Notice also the following prophecies from the Old and New Testaments:<\/p>\n

23 \u2018Make a chain,
\nFor the land is filled with crimes of blood,
\nAnd the city is full of violence.
\n24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
\nAnd they will possess their houses<\/strong>;
\nI will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
\nAnd their holy places shall be defiled.
\n25 Destruction comes;
\nThey will seek peace, but there shall be none. (Ezekiel 7:23-25)<\/p>\n

23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Luke 21:23-24)<\/p>\n

2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. (Revelation 11:2)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice that Ezekiel, Jesus (whose words are recorded in Luke), and John (who penned Revelation) were talking about the same time.<\/p>\n

The time of Gentile domination is prophesied (Ezekiel 7:24, 30:1-3, 34:25-30; Jeremiah 10:25; Luke 21:23-24; Revelation 11:2)\u2013though it is not quite here yet. It will be here for the 3 1\/2 years of the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord.<\/p>\n

The Great Tribulation itself is further described in Revelation 6:9-11 (the fifth seal, that seems to occur because the faithful church has suffered martyrdom, cf. Daniel 11:31-35; Matthew 24:9-10), Lamentations, Daniel, and other parts of the Bible. It starts with Matthew 24:21 and Daniel 11:39.<\/p>\n

Some would call this World War III (WWIII; see also World War III: Steps in Progress<\/a> and\/or watch Is World War III About to Begin? Can You Escape?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What is commonly known as \u2018Armageddon\u2019 could perhaps be called WWIV.<\/p>\n

Herbert Armstrong com<\/span>mented that the confederation is associated with the 200 million-man army–which means also that it will include nations not currently confederate with Russia (like apparenly the Chinese and other Asians):<\/p>\n

\n

The second woe, with its symbols of horses and horsemen … and is also referred to as an event in the Day OF THE Eternal in Joel 2:4. This refers to a tremendous military power–also to the NORTH–due north! They come with an army of two hundred million! Think of it–an army of two hundred million! (Armstrong HW. The Book of Revelation Unveiled at Last! 1972 edition. p. 38-39).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Notice something else from Joel that is related to this:<\/p>\n

6 Before them the people writhe in pain;
\nAll faces are drained of color. (Joel 2:6)<\/p>\n

20 “But I will remove far from you the northern army,
\nAnd will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,
\nWith his face toward the eastern sea
\nAnd his back toward the western sea;
\nHis stench will come up,
\nAnd his foul odor will rise,
\nBecause he has done monstrous things.” (Joel 2:20)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is related because the northern,\u00a0King of the North<\/a>\u00a0army of Europe, will be facing forces from the east–these would be forces most likely led by Russia.<\/p>\n

Also the Hebrew word translated “writhe in pain” in Joel 2:6 is the same basic word used in Jeremiah 51:29 and translated as “and sorrow.” This also seems to tie all this together.<\/p>\n

We are seeing steps for such a confederation beginning to come to pass.<\/p>\n

When will it end?<\/p>\n

The old Worldwide Church of God taught:<\/p>\n

\n

With the second coming of Christ, the \u201ctimes of the Gentiles\u201d will at last come to an end. (Stump K. The Arab World in Prophecy. Plain Truth, December 1979, p. 38)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For the final time of the Gentiles to arise, the Gentiles will need to cooperate together against the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies. The BRICS+, EAEU, SCO, and Silk Road arrangements are all intending to do that\u2013as is the European Union\u2013and the nations involved in them are all taking steps which align with properly understood biblical prophecies. A block of nations from North Africa and the Middle East will also be involved (cf. Daniel 11:27, 40-43)\u2013this is something that US, EU, and others have encouraged (see How Will Middle East Peace be Brought About?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Yet, most in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand do not understand what is now happening on the world scene and how they will be affected.<\/p>\n

While in the USA, its President Trump is pushing his ‘Make America Great Again’ agenda, BRICS+, the EU, the EAEU, and others are looking at a massive alliance.<\/p>\n

USA efforts will NOT stop what is coming and much of which is starting to form before our eyes now.<\/p>\n

World events are aligning with properly understood biblical prophecies.<\/p>\n

Steps towards Armageddon and the final time of the Gentiles are happening. Yet, most of the mainstream media seems oblivious to this as they do not respect the Bible nor understand how world events are aligning with many of its prophecies.<\/p>\n

As Jesus said: “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” <\/span>(Mark 13:37).<\/p>\n
