What Really Happened on 5/22/2026? The Insidious 222 WW3 Code Hiding in Plain Sight

 

Insidious, have you ever heard that word before? I believe that word describes the current state of affairs in the world and it connects to 222 and the end times. Here is the formal definition of insidious.

 

in·sid·i·ous (adjective)

 

1. Primary Definition: Proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with very harmful or destructive effects.

 

Example: "The insidious effects of long-term sleep deprivation."

 

2. Medical Context: (of a disease) Developing so gradually as to be well established before becoming apparent or showing symptoms.

 

Example: "Glaucoma is an insidious disease that slowly damages the optic nerve."

 

3. Secondary Definition: Treacherous, crafty, or intended to entrap or beguile.

 

Example: "An insidious plot to undermine the committee."

 

Word Origin: It comes from the Latin word insidiosus (cunning), which itself derives from insidiae meaning "an ambush or trick." This etymology perfectly captures the core meaning of the word: a danger that quietly lies in wait to ambush you without making a sound.

 

And why do I believe that the world is in an insidious state, and how does 222 fit into all of this? 

A few weeks ago, in the post; Prophecy Watch: May 18, 2026, and Beyond. Updated--Watch Fulfilled, I issued a watch for 5/22/2026, which was day number 222 of the last 7 years. Here is what I wrote in an update on that post.

 

Update: Watch fulfilled, this is what I wrote above, "And since 10/9/2025 also pointed to 10/13/2025, which was 4 days later, I believe we should also watch 5/22/2026, which would be 222 days from 10/13/2025."

 

And look what happened on day number 222--5/22/26, we have this from Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

 

The gruesome UAV attack carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces on the night of May 22 against the academic building and dormitory of a college of Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk, LPR, has become yet another glaring testimony to the Nazi and terrorist nature of the Kiev regime, which deliberately strikes civilians and does not stop short of the cold-blooded murder of children...

 

We warn foreign nationals, including staff of diplomatic missions and representative offices of international organizations, of the need to leave the city as soon as possible,

 

Russia responded by firing 111 missiles into Kiev and as you just read are warning more are coming.

 

And then there is this; 

 

   Reuters: NATO is preparing 60,000 troops for war with Russia, right now, 3 divisions are being formed on the territory of Estonia and Latvia 

 

And in response to that 5/22/26 day number 222 attack by Ukraine here is what Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Federation Council just posted:

 

Citizens of EU countries, You should realize your authorities have unilaterally entered into a war with Russia. So be vigilant and don't be surprised by anything. The peaceful sleep is over. But you know who to ask why!

 

— Dmitry Medvedev (@MedvedevRussiaE) May 29, 2026

 

And here is Russia’s response to the day number 222 Ukraine attack;

 

Major Russian attack kills at least 22 and leaves Ukraine pleading for help from Trump

 

The assault follows warnings of an intense new wave of attacks, as the Kremlin hopes to change the narrative of a war mired in battlefield setbacks and diplomatic stalemate amid growing signs of domestic disquiet.

 

With Russia's response to the 5/22/2026 attack by Ukraine and their declaration that Europe has now entered into war with Russia, did the infamous Seal 2 WW3 begin on day number 222? 

And let’s not forget that the whole Russia Ukraine war officially began on another 222 date--2/22/2022--when Russia issued the decree to invade Ukraine. The date of 2/22/2022 was a highly synced date of which I issued several watches for. 

So, did the infamous Seal 2 WW3 begin on day number 2222--5/22/2026? And if so, why would that be an insidious state of affairs? 

I see that as a definite possibility. And if as of 10/13/2025, when the peace deal was signed with the many, we entered into the last 7 years and Seal 2 has just been opened, then things are about to go from bad to worse. 

And all who have read their Bibles know that after Seal 2 comes the Seal 3 worldwide hyper inflationary famine followed by the Seal 4 “population reduction” as they call it, where 1 out of 4 dies. 

To be sure, the first 4 Seals are an insidious state of affairs, and the really sad part is that I estimate that 99.9% of the world population will fail to realize that we are in the last 7 years of prophecy because it will be proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, and unfortunately the result will be, very harmful and will have destructive effects. 

And after the first 4 seals comes the most harmful and destructive events—the Seal 5 arising of the ET connected antichrist, his takeover of the world, and the mark of the beast end times trap, which all who partake will be damned to hell. 

And guess what, the 99.9% who will be duped includes some Christians who will hang onto their false end times theories, including the pre-tribulation theory, that won’t allow for the possibility that a Christian will be here for the first 5 Seals. 

In case you were wondering it has been proved that the rapture occurs after the opening of Seal 6. BTW, to date no one has ever been able to logically and Biblically refute that proof. 

I have been trying to warn people for over 20 years that these days would be coming. And if the last 7 years began on 10/13/2025, which I believe it has, then the 4 horses of the Apocalypse will have run their course by the Spring of 2029 at which time the false messiah ET connected antichrist will take over the world.

The Permadrought; Is the Black Horse of the Apocalypse Staring Us in the Face?

 

The Economic Collapse blog posted a great article that you need to be aware of. It regards the drought that is currently affecting most of the world’s population. And on top of that it looks like we are entering into a super El-Nino, which will most likely exasperate the problem. Here is a snippet of the article, I recommend reading the entire article.

 

Our planet is drying out at a pace that is unlike anything we have ever seen before. Once massive lakes are rapidly shrinking, once mighty rivers are steadily dwindling, and colossal underground aquifers are being pumped dry all over the world. This is an absolutely enormous problem, because very soon we simply will not have enough fresh water to support 8 billion people. In fact, drought conditions are severely affecting global crop production in 2026. If current trends continue, it will become increasingly difficult to grow food. In other words, if the land on our planet doesn’t stop drying out there is no way that we will be able to avoid an era of widespread global famines…

 

Right now, more than 60 percent of the continental United States is experiencing at least some level of drought…

 

As of May 26, 2026, 50.77% of the United States and Puerto Rico and 60.77% of the Lower 48 states are in drought…

 

On top of everything else, now a “Super El Niño” is coming, and that means that drought conditions will greatly intensify in many parts of the world.

This may be a good time to remind my readers that the “Super El Niño” of 1877-1878 caused horrifying droughts that killed more than 50 million people all over the globe. 

Source: Permadrought: 75 Percent Of The Global Population Lives In A Country That Is Being Affected By “The Great Drying”

After reading the article the thought that came to my mind was; is all this the beginnings of Seal 3?

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. 

Seal 3, you say, how can it be seal 3 when the rapture has not happened yet? That is because the rapture does not occur until after Seal 6 has been opened. 

Further on 10/13/2025, which is 2520 days before the feast of Rosh Hashanah in 2032, the peace treaty was signed with the many. Thus if 10/13/2025 was the beginning of the last 7 years, which I believe it was, then we are in the last 7 years now and the opening of the seals are upon us. 

Are we staring the black horse of the apocalypse in the face? Have you prepared? Let me leave you with a song.

 

"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 Great Alien Deception: How Demons Rebranded as "Space People"

  

As most of you are aware, one of the big news items recently was the release of several government UFO files. I have been publicly warning people for over 20 years that a great end times alien deception would one day come upon the world. I have also been warning people that this deception would be antichrist related. 

Since UFO disclosure has come into the limelight, I believe it would be prudent to address the issue again. So, let’s start our discussion in the year of 1918. 

Between January and March of 1918, Crowley and his magical partner, Roddie Minor, conducted a series of rituals and magical experiments in a New York City apartment. This series of rituals was known as the Amalantrah Working.  During these sessions—which heavily involved ceremonial magic, astral projection, and often the use of drugs—Crowley claimed to have opened an interdimensional portal. Through this working, they allegedly made contact with a disincarnate, praeter-human intelligence that identified itself as "Lam." 

 

In 1919, Crowley drew a portrait of Lam from his visions. He published the drawing that same year as the frontispiece to his commentary on Helena Blavatsky’s Theosophical book, The Voice of the Silence.  Source. 

So, Crowley with the use of black magic made contact with a demon that was named Lam. Here is the picture Crowley drew, what does that look like?

 

It’s a gray alien. The classic big-headed, big-eyed, spindly-limbed gray alien that has become the standard pop culture image of extraterrestrial life. Crowley drew that thing in 1918, decades before the modern UFO phenomenon began. He wasn’t channeling aliens. He was summoning demons. He just knew that eventually everyone would call them aliens instead.  https://www.thewisewolf.club/p/ancient-aliens-are-demons 

And how did Crowley know that these demons would be called space people, which we call aliens? 

Aleister Crowley, the famous occultist and self-proclaimed “wickedest man in the world,” once said that in the future, spirits and demons would be rebranded. The exact quote is: “The spirits of the future will be called space people.” Crowley knew what was coming. He knew that as the world became more secular and “scientific,” people would stop believing in demons and devils and fallen angels. So the entities he spent his life summoning would need a new marketing campaign. https://www.thewisewolf.club/p/ancient-aliens-are-demons 

Wow, that was an eye opener, demons were intentionally rebranded as aliens. Now consider this image that President Trump put up on his Truth Social page.

 

In light of the information presented above what does that image of Trump next to a gray say to you? 

Here is what I foresee occurring in regard to aliens in the near future. 

The alien deception will continue to grow.

 

Aliens will be proclaimed as real extraterrestrial beings and that governments are in contact with them.

 

Aliens will claim that they started life on this planet, and they also started religions to keep the masses in control.

 

When the world is in utter chaos after the demise of the first 4 seals, aliens will come to the rescue and save the world.

 

The world will be taken over by an alien connected antichrist.

 

And how soon could all of this occur? 2029! 

BTW, here is another interesting fact about Crowley. 

He also said in the 1940s that a special kind of music was going to come onto the scene that would prepare the world for the antichrist.

 

The Guiding Spirits of Crowley made it quite clear to him that, soon after his death, the world was going to enter the final stage of preparing the hearts and minds of the people to accept the Black Magick attitudes and values of Antichrist. Crowley was told that a very special kind of music was to prepare the hearts and minds of the people for Antichrist. Rock-n-Roll was that music.” Cutting Edge News Article #1758.

Let me leave you with a song that has had close to half a million views on YouTube that says it all—“The Little Green Men” or should it be named “The Little Gray Men?” 

 

"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

What if: A Question and a Warning for Pre-Tribbers

 

Hey pre-tribber, what if there comes a time that nuclear war breaks out on our planet. Will you, because of your pre-trib beliefs, fail to recognize that Seal 2 has been opened because you believe that Seal 2 happens after the rapture? 

What if there comes a time that famine comes upon the world. Will you, because of your pre-trib beliefs, fail to recognize that Seal 3 has been opened because you believe that Seal 3 happens after the rapture?

 

What if there comes a time that a pandemic breaks out upon the world and 1 out of 4 dies. Will you, because of your pre-trib beliefs, fail to recognize that Seal 4 has been opened because you believe that Seal 4 happens after the rapture? 

What if there comes a time that a world ruler comes to power, and to participate in buying or selling all are required to take some kind of RFID mechanism implanted into or on their right hand or forehead. Will you, because of your pre-trib beliefs, participate in the new financial system, thinking it is not “the Mark” because you believe the Mark comes about after the rapture? 

Those are some very important questions to ponder, aren’t they? From time to time I get harassed about why I am so focused on Christians having a correct rapture belief. As you can see from the discussion above, pre-trib beliefs have the potential to land someone in hell, because as you know, all who take the mark are doomed to hell. 

Having an incorrect rapture belief also causes someone to have to endure the first 5 Seals without any preparations. 

Most pre-tribbers have been brainwashed their whole Christian life into the easy believeism of the pre trib rapture theory. I admonish all pre-tribbers to take a careful look at what scripture says—the rapture happens after Seal 6 is opened. 

Warning: An improper rapture belief can land someone in hell and all who preach the unscriptural pre-trib rapture will be held accountable for their actions. 

"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

Prophecy Watch: May 18, 2026, and Beyond. Updated--Watch Fulfilled

 

Back in July of 2025, I had what I believe to be an out of the ordinary experience with the number 109, which I think may be pointing to an event(s) on or after a day in the near future—May 18, 2026. Here is some of what I wrote about the 109 experience in the past.

 

Based on a triple 109 prophetic sign at odds over 36 billion to 1 a watch was issued for 10/9/2025. The watch date was fulfilled by the major prophetic event that occurred on 10/9/2025—the signing of the peace treaty.

 

In the post, The Great Tribulation at 36.5 Billion to One I detailed an experience that I had where I had three 109s appear on my car display. Here is part of what I wrote.

 

BTW, my 109-experience happened on 7/15/2025. And from 4/19/2025 to 7/15/2025 (incl) is 88 days. And 7/15/2025 is the midpoint date between 4/19/2025 and 10/9/2025 (109).

 

Was God sending us a message?

 

Is it pointing to an event on 10/9/2025?

 

And what happened on 10/9/2025? One of the most prophetically important events in the last several years occurred—the signing of the peace treaty. This event and its ramifications were discussed in this post; Shocking Prophecy Alert: Has the Daniel 9:27 Peace Treaty Prophecy Been Fulfilled? 

 

I wonder if it could point to anything else.

 

So, 10/9/2025 proved to be an important date especially in light of the fact that on 10/13/2025 the peace treaty was expanded and signed by many nations. I believe this signing with “the many” partially fulfilled the Dan 9:27 prophecy. 

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 

Now let’s see if the 109 and the 10/9/2025 date could point to anything else in the future? How about 222 days from 10/9/2025 which is 5/18/2026? Check out this video (HT Olli).

 

Let me refresh your memory about something; 222 is encoded on the dollar bill and was the time on the old hundred-dollar bill that looks like this when folded in the esoteric way.

 

So, is the 109-experience pointing to a major event on 5/18/2026? As always time will tell. And if it is, what could it be pointing to? The movie “Leave the World Behind” which was mentioned in the video above, features NYC being bombed and a knockout of communications, internet, and microwave attacks. Donnie Darko alludes to “the end of the world.” 

And we have this left in the comments of a previous post: 

December 5, 2022

Israel's president and UAE president meet to talk about the Abraham accords.

 

490 days before Dec 5, 2022, was August 2, 2021.

August 2, 2021, was 1335 days after Trump declared Jerusalem Israel's capital on December 5/6, 2017.

 

1335 days before December 5/6, 2017, was April 10/11, 2014. 5 days before the first blood moon.

 

1335 days before December 5, 2022, was April 10/11, 2019.

 

April 10/11, 2019, they had early elections in Israel for Netanyahu and on the 11Th and Israeli space craft crashed on the moon.

 

The announcement to change the election came on December 25, 2018.

 

December 25, 2018, was 490 days after the first great American eclipse.

 

490 days after December 5, 2022, was April 8, 2024, the last great American eclipse.

 

1260 days after December 5, 2022, will be May 18, 2026, a watch day.

 

Conclusion: 

Is 5/18/2026 the date that has been signaled in several pieces of predictive programming? And will 5/18/2026, which is 222 days past 10/9/2025, be the day of a major event(s) or a time marker after which major events will occur? As always time will tell. 

And since 10/9/2025 also pointed to 10/13/2025, which was 4 days later, I believe we should also watch 5/22/2026, which would be 222 days from 10/13/2025. (Note: all days are +- a day for time zones) 

However regardless of what happens on or after May 18, 2026, the big takeaway is that if the 10/13/2025 peace treaty was the peace treaty of the Dan 9:27 prophecy, which I believe it was, then we are in the last 7 years now and between now and the midpoint in the spring of 2029 we will see the 4 horses of the apocalypse run their course, the antichrist come onto the scene, and the issuing of the mark of the beast.

Update: Watch fulfilled, this is what I wrote above, "And since 10/9/2025 also pointed to 10/13/2025, which was 4 days later, I believe we should also watch 5/22/2026, which would be 222 days from 10/13/2025."

And look what happened on day number 222--5/22/26, we have this from Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The gruesome UAV attack carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces on the night of May 22 against the academic building and dormitory of a college of Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk, LPR, has become yet another glaring testimony to the Nazi and terrorist nature of the Kiev regime, which deliberately strikes civilians and does not stop short of the cold-blooded murder of children...

We warn foreign nationals, including staff of diplomatic missions and representative offices of international organizations, of the need to leave the city as soon as possible,

Russia responded by firing 111 missiles into Kiev and as you just read are warning more are coming.

And then there is this; 

• Reuters: NATO is preparing 60,000 troops for war with Russia, right now, 3 divisions are being formed on the territory of Estonia and Latvia 

"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
