The Trump State Ballroom; Why 999?

 

By now you have probably heard about the new White House State ballroom that is presently under construction. One thing that caught my attention was the seating capacity of 999. 

The White House State Ballroom (Under Construction) Construction of a new ballroom at the White House began in late 2025, a project initiated by President Trump to provide a larger venue for state dinners and official functions. The project has been a subject of significant news coverage regarding its scale and funding.

 

Location: The ballroom is being built on the site of the former East Wing of the White House complex, which was demolished in October 2025.

 

Size and Capacity: The total expansion is approximately 90,000 square feet, which is nearly double the size of the main White House building. The ballroom itself is expected to hold up to 999 people for seated events, a substantial increase from the East Room's capacity of around 200.

 

Design: The interior is planned to resemble the opulent design of the Mar-a-Lago ballroom, featuring Corinthian columns, crystal chandeliers, and black-and-white tiled floors. The design also reportedly includes bulletproof glass windows.

 

Why does it have a seating capacity of 999? Why not 998 or 1000? You do know what an upside down 999 is, right? 

Here are a few interesting facts about 999. For one it is the 99^th Palindrome. It also has a ‘Stairway to Heaven’ connection; Tianmen Mountain, China features 999 steps leading up to a natural rock arch known as the "Heaven's Gate". In occult perverted thinking the stairway to heaven is in reference to one becoming enlightened in the way of satan as was referenced in the occult demonic song 'Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zepplin.

Along those lines some consider the number 999 as an occult gateway.

Occult "Gateway": Some 2025 modern spiritualist circles refer to 999 as a "gateway" or frequency for collective awakening, used to activate a "New Human" state. 

Hmm...999 refers to a new human state, that kind of reminds me of the new human state when people who take the mark will be hooked up to the internet.

Did you note the mention of black and white tiles in the description of the ballroom? Why black and white? Where else have I seen black and white tiles?

 

Symbolic Meanings

The primary meanings associated with the masonic black and white tiles include:

 

Duality of Existence: The alternating black and white squares symbolize the constant interplay of opposing forces in life, such as light and darkness, joy and sorrow, and good and evil. It reflects the multifaceted nature of existence and the need to find balance.

 

Moral Decision-Making: The pavement serves as a reminder to Masons that they navigate a world filled with both positive and negative influences. It emphasizes the importance of making conscious, moral choices in their actions and striving for balance in life.

Equality: The floor is a "level" on which all Masons meet, symbolizing that all individuals, regardless of wealth or social standing outside the lodge, are equal within the fraternity.

 

King Solomon's Temple: In ritual, the mosaic pavement represents the ground floor of King Solomon's Temple, where all apprentices started their journey. While there is no historical evidence that the actual temple had such a floor, this association is a cornerstone of the symbolism within the Masonic context.

 

Philosophical Balance: The pattern is also linked to the Hermetic principle of Polarity, suggesting that opposing aspects (spirit and matter, etc.) are reconcilable and part of the same whole. 

Since we mentioned Free Masonry, what do they think about the number 9? 

The Significance of the Number 9 in Freemasonry:

 

The single digit 9 is one of the key sacred or symbolic numbers recognized in Freemasonry (along with 3, 5, 7, 27, etc.).

 

Completion and Perfection: As the highest single digit in a base-10 system, it often symbolizes the end of a cycle, a culmination of lessons learned, or a state of perfection.

A Trinity of Trinities: Its value is derived from being the product of three multiplied by itself (3 x 3 = 9). The number 3 itself is highly significant, representing the three degrees of Craft Masonry (Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason) and other trinities within the fraternity.

 

Higher Degrees: The number 9 plays a specific, though often private, role in certain advanced degrees, such as the Eighth Degree (Intendant of the Building) of the Scottish Rite, and the Holy Royal Arch degree. Masons refer to a nine-pointed star as a figure of "spiritual completion". 

And in the Bible what does the number 9 symbolize? 

The number nine is a most remarkable number in many respects. It is held in great reverence by all who study the occult sciences; and in mathematical science it possesses properties and powers which are found in no other number.*

 

It is the last of the digits, and thus marks the end; and is significant of the conclusion of a matter.

 

It is akin to the number six, six being the sum of its factors (3x3=9, and 3+3=6), and is thus significant of the end of man, and the summation of all man's works. Nine is, therefore,

 

THE NUMBER OF FINALITY OR JUDGMENT,

It is a factor of 666, which is 9 times 74.

 

The gematria of the word "Dan," which means a judge, is 54 (9x6).

 

"th orgh mou" (tee orgee mou), my wrath, = 999 (Heb 3:11).

 

The solemn amhn (ameen), amen, or "verily," of our Lord, amounts also to 99, summing up and ending His words.

 

The sum of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet is 4995 (5x999). It is stamped, therefore, with the numbers of grace and finality.

 

The sum of the Greek alphabet is 3999. 

So, let's get back to the original question; why a seating capacity of 999, why not 998 or 1000? It seems a little suspicious to me. I think 1000 would have been a much better choice for a seating capacity, as in the 1000-year Millennial kingdom.

And BTW, the demolition phase of this project began on 10/20/2025, just 7 days after the peace treaty with the many was signed and the last 7 years began--what a coincidence.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Counting Down to the End of the World

 

Some of you may be wondering the why behind the countdown timers on the blog sidebar. So, in this post I will explain the why. 

The countdown timers are based on the realization that the signing of the peace treaty with the many on 10/13/2025 partially fulfilled the Dan 9:27 prophecy and thus was day one of the last 7 years. 

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Dan 9:27

 

With day one as 10/13/2025 here is day that we are in now (Jerusalem time as all the timers are also.)

Based on October 13, 2025, being day one of the final seven years (lasting a total of 2,520 days), combined with the other date parameters given to us in scripture—specifically, 1,260 days for the rule of the antichrist, and 1,290 and 1,335 days measured from the Abomination of Desolation—I was able to construct the following chart. 

Based on those parameters here are the specifics for each timer.

 

September 30, 2028 (Yom Kippur)

 

This countdown timer is to the highly synced date discovered by Steve Wilkin. Steve has found many synchronicities pointing to a destruction coming upon America the Babylon on 9/30/2028. 

I believe this destruction will also involve destruction upon the old-world order of which America is the head. The destruction of America and the old-world order will pave the way for the antichrist to take over the world and the birth of the New World Order.

 

March 25^th, 2029 (Yom HaAliyah)

 

The countdown timer to 3/25/2029, which is day number 1260 of the last 7 years, is the calculated date that the antichrist will begin his 3.5-year reign over the earth. 

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Rev 13:5 

After he takes over the world he will institute the mark of the beast, where no one will be able to buy or sell without taking the mark. All who take the mark will be dammed to hell. Christians will be rescued out of this period of great tribulation via the rapture after the opening of the sixth seal. 

It is interesting to note that in the Jewish calendar 3/25/2029 is Nisan 10 and is Yom HaAliyah. 

Yom HaAliyah for Hebrew Year 5789 begins at sundown on Sunday, 25 March 2029 and ends at nightfall on Monday, 26 March 2029.

 

Yom HaAliyah (Aliyah Day) (Hebrew: יום העליה) is an Israeli national holiday celebrated annually on the tenth of the Hebrew month of Nisan to commemorate the Jewish people entering the Land of Israel as written in the Hebrew Bible. The holiday was established to acknowledge Aliyah, immigration to the Jewish state, as a core value of the State of Israel, and honor the ongoing contributions of Olim to Israeli society. 

Nisan 10 was also an important day in the life of the true Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, as this excerpt from The Coming Epiphany expalins. 

…That was Palm Sunday when Jesus Christ presented Himself as the Messiah and King of the Jews to the Jewish people and to the world—just as the prophecy foretold what would happen at the end of the 69 weeks. That fulfilled prophecy speaks significantly of the validity of the fact that Jesus was the Messiah, and that the Bible truly is God’s Word. That day in the Hebrew calendar was 9 Nisan.

 

The next day was 10 Nisan, when Jesus cleansed the temple and had His confrontation with the religious leaders. That day is also when the leadership decided to kill Jesus, as found in Mark 11:18: “And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.” Tradition tells us that Nisan 10 is also the day when the Jews would select the Passover lamb...The Coming Epiphany. 

So, it is interesting that the calculated date that the antichrist will take over the world aligns with those important historical events. It is just like satan to disrespect God’s events with a perversion—his rule over the world. 

Let me also remind you that on March 25, 2029, a once-in-the-history-of-the-world celestial sign will appear in the heavens, foretelling the takeover of the world by the demonic trio of the antichrist, the false prophet, and the devil. 

A Once in the History of the World Heavenly Sign Declares the Date the Antichrist Will Take Over the World! 

 

September 5^th, 2032 (Rosh Hashanah)

 

The countdown timer to 9/5/2032, which is day number 2520 of the last 7 years, is the calculated date of Armageddon, when the antichrist, false prophet, the devil, and the armies of the world that have gathered to fight against God will be defeated. This will be followed by the beginning of the Millennium on 9/20/2032, which is the first day of the feast of Tabernacles.

 

Take note that all three of the countdown dates align with special Jewish days, which is a necessary, but oftentimes neglected, parameter in any end times chronology. The reason is because major prophetic events at the first coming of Jesus aligned with special Jewish days and thus, we would expect that major events at the second coming of Jesus will also align with special Jewish days. 

And what will confirm that these timers are accurate? If we see the opening of the seals in the near future, then we will know for sure. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Shocking Prophecy Alert: Van-Rensburg's Predictions Unfolding? Russia's Nuclear Threat to UK "Inevitable!"

 

Will the U.K. betray the USA? That is what a man named Van-Rensburg said will happen. I have written about this before, but it looks like we just got one step closer to seeing the Van-Rensburg prophecies being fulfilled. 

Russia warns Britain 'nuclear annihilation inevitable' after UK gives WW3 'casus belli'

The Putin propaganda machine has threatened that the admission of the British armed forces being present in Ukraine amounts to a “casus belli” for a nuclear strike on the UK.

When I read the article above it immediately brought to my mind the Van-Rensburg Prophecies that includes a prophecy about a Russia attack against the UK that is thwarted by the UK betraying the USA. 

Below is an excerpt from the original post; The Van-Rensburg Prophecies; Russia and the British Betrayal of the USA  

In the late 1800s and early 1900s there lived a man in South Africa named Seiner Van-Rensburg. Van-Rensburg gave many prophecies of which many have come true. You can also read a short biography of him here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siener_van_Rensburg. 

Van-Rensburg gave some very detailed prophecies about the coming WW3. One of the aspects of his WW3 prophecies concerned Russia, Britian, and America as explained below. 

During 1942/43 a member of the Ossewa-Brandwag, ‘Oupa’ Krause gave an almost unbelievable description to Mr. E.L. Brits, of the Seer’s visions on the outbreak of a future world war.

Because England fears a Russian bomb attack, they connive in secret with the Russians. They betray Western military secrets to Russia and sign treaties with Russia against the USA. Russia mistrusts the English; the USA learns of this treachery and realizes the danger of English betrayal against it. The great clash between American and British troops takes place in Egypt after the next world war has started. The English army is defeated and those still alive after the battle, are taken prisoner. It is also there where our troops are stopped and disarmed.

The English attempt to get help in secret from the Japanese, but are unsuccessful. During the night Russia storms through Turkey (Iraq) en route to the Suez region, while Turkey offers no resistance. The Russians make contact with the American army in Syria and Palestine where they (the Russians) are stopped by the Americans. Palestine is destroyed during the fighting. Some Arabs side with the Americans. Many oilfields in the Middle-East are set alight. The Red Army is defeated by the more advanced secret weaponry of the USA.

 

The Russians break through to Spain en route to Gibraltar, and when they are stopped there, they turn on England and attack them from the air. England is totally destroyed.

Many secret weapons and gas is used everywhere. While horror (atomic?) bombs sow death and destruction, nations will be annihilated. While some nations cease to exist, others will still survive, but will be worthless. It will be a devastating war and everyone will be expected to go and fight. 

 

Our Boer nation will not be destroyed, for we have a purpose and destination. England will be a very minor factor. Ireland also gains its freedom and drives the English from their country. Holland surrenders without a whimper. France will somehow survive; Russia will be finished and although the USA will not be destroyed, it will be a very weak nation. The Germans declare peace in Europe and become the strongest nation in a very short time. 

 

The Beginning of Oppression War breaks out in Europe around April or May (year unknown) as soon as the thaw sets in, but by the time there is no more ice and snow, it will have progressed considerably—so much so that it seems if the Russians are winning.

An atmosphere of oppression will prevail not only in Europe, but also in our own country. The Germans will make use of the opportunity to take revenge on England, which will be totally annihilated. As usual, the USA in Europe will initially flee, but return later with a strong military force and stop Russia in Spain.

Van Rensburg says the Germans will be fully armed—probably with secret armaments from underground arsenals, which, indeed, is the case. The war will be very swift, destructive and dreadful. Nations will be annihilated very quickly by means of air attacks, horror (nuclear?) bombs and germ warfare. Laser Beams? The worst will be ‘electric beams’ sowing death and destruction above and below; even the soil will be destroyed and few people will remain alive.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/110161554/PROPHECIES-by-Siener-Van-Rensburg 

That is quite a prophecy—Britain betraying the USA!? Could that really happen? Here is how he said the British betrayal would begin. 

Because England fears a Russian bomb attack, they connive in secret with the Russians. They betray Western military secrets to Russia and sign treaties with Russia against the USA.

End of excerpt

So, is the news of Russia threatening the UK with nuclear war a sign that the Van-Rensburg prophecies are about to be fulfilled? And if so; “Because England fears a Russian bomb attack,” will they then betray the USA? Is the Van-Rensburg prophecies near to being fulfilled? 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

The Wilkerson Worldwide Financial Crash; Germany Will be First Then…

 

We have been hearing of a coming worldwide financial collapse by many economists for years—there is too much debt. The Bible also foretells of a coming worldwide financial collapse. 

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

 

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. Rev 6:5,6 

There is a famous vision that was proclaimed to the world by evangelist David Wilkerson that involved a financial collapse that would engulf the world. And he said, "It's going to start in GERMANY!!!"  

So we have a word that David Wilkerson himself declared to be prophetic, not just a warning based upon his study of Scripture, but a prophetic word which said that a European, North African or Eastern nation was going to go bankrupt; German, Swiss and French banks would take the initial impact - hard; then a second nation, possibly Argentina or Brazil would follow, then Mexico. The US would not necessarily be impacted by the default of the first nation or the South American nation but would be impacted, hard, by the default of Mexico, so much so that NOT the National Guard but the WHOLE US ARMY would be called out to control the chaos. Source: Running from Babylon; GREECE AND DAVID WILKERSON.

And here is another account that adds more details.

I thought you might like to see the results of a bit of research I've done, in which I found an old audio message by David Wilkerson, in which he identifies the first important European country to suffer an economic collapse: Not Greece, but Germany! (Not to say Greece won't collapse, but read on).

To give some background, first, in his book, "The Vision", at the beginning of chapter 1, Wilkerson states, "I see total economic confusion striking Europe first, and then affecting Japan, the United States, Canada, and all other nations shortly thereafter".

So, the economic collapse begins in Europe. There is a slightly different version of this which is circulating on various sites on the internet, usually titled "David Wilkerson's Economic Vision". This is the one you quoted, where he narrates how the collapse starts in Europe, spreads to South America, then Mexico, then the U.S. Notice he again mentions Europe first, and then later, "the first country (that) goes bankrupt", but doesn't identify the country. Well, I did some more digging and found this audio sermon by Wilkerson:

AT EXACTLY 2:03 (see audio below) HE STATES: "It's going to start in GERMANY!!!" http://www.ubm1.org/?page=wilkerson#Germany

Now check out some of the latest headlines. 

German economy in 'deepest crisis' of post-war era: industry group Frankfurt (Germany) (AFP) – Germany's economy is suffering its "deepest crisis" since the aftermath of World War II, an industry group warned Tuesday, calling on Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government to take urgent action to spark a revival. 

And how about the rest of the world, Glenn Beck just dropped the most important 4 minutes you’ll watch this year: 

“For the FIRST time in recorded history, EVERY major civilization—America, China, Europe, Japan—is hitting the absolute peak of the debt super-cycle AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT. There is no rising power waiting in the wings like there always has been. When this resets, it won’t be regional. It will be global, systemic, and sudden.” 

So, are we on the precipice of the worldwide financial collapse? Knowing that the last 7 years has begun and that the Seal 3 financial collapse will occur in the first half of the last 7 years, would lead us to conclude that indeed it is near to occurring.

This chart ought to tell you something.

 

And if you are expecting the rapture to occur before the Seal 3 financial crash, it won't. The rapture does not occur until after the opening of the sixth seal. In fact, as of 10/13/2025 we are in the last 7 years now.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36
