Way back in 2013, Joseph Herrin, the former writer and minister of the parables.blog website, wrote a prophetic warning here and here regarding the link between the ship named the SS United States and the nation called the United States. Before reading this blog I encourage you to read what he wrote. It would be cumbersome and redundant to repeat everything here, but the backdrop is important to understand if you have never heard of this “flagship.” Some important keynotes I will make mention of are as follows:

• Various groups and vested interests have been trying to save this ship for decades, but it is very expensive just to keep floating.
• It was built as a symbol of American opulence, power and capability.
• It has been rotting from the inside out for years.
• No one wants to invest in a sinking ship.
• The ship has been equated with the United States in news broadcasts, as if saving it is also saving the US.

I received word from Joseph on 11/4/2026 that the SS United States is scheduled for “controlled sinking” on 11/12/2026. Knowing what he wrote about it in past blogs I was immediately struck by the Spirit. Now, in 2026, thirteen years after God warned this country through one of His humble servants about its rotten, decaying heart the final act is decided. The end of the SS United States is here. The writing is on the wall for the nation as well. Judgment is impending. I cannot give you a date. All I can do is tell you what God is broadcasting to the whole world right now.

Mind you, the number 13 is related to rebellion in the Bible according to E. W. Bullinger’s Number in Scripture. According him, it is the apostasy of moving past God’s appointed governmental structure (the number 12) and devising your own government. This is a subject worthy of its own study, but suffice to say that the only rebellion that is justified in God’s eyes is rebellion sanctioned directly by Him. If it is sanctioned by Him, 13 is the number of victory over rebellion as a result of sacrifice and service to Him. This matters a lot when talking about the The United States of America, particularly the founding of the nation. Even though Christians claim this nation was founded by godly men at the behest of God’s will, I have not found that to be the case. Yes, the original settlers were Christians praying to God and giving thanks for His providence, but men rose up later to incite a rebellion against that provision, to seize it an turn it into something that was opposed to God’s will. These men were Freemasons.

This was not a rebellion endorsed by God. Why? Because it contradicts Scripture, and also, it is contrary to the Spirit whom I follow. This rebellion has festered and fermented into a monster. Because the country has refused to repent after many warnings, God is intent on sinking this nation into the depths of the abyss.

Before we get into the details of the coming memorial dedication of the SS United States and how God is speaking prophetically to us through it, let us look back at the source of the rebellion God is pointing at.

The Advent of the American Heart of Rebellion

The Thirteen Colonies entered rebellion soon after their establishment by the British Crown, when the rebels questioned the extent of the power of King James I over them, and later they outright refused King George’s ruler-ship. Britain had a substantial historical and constitutional claim to govern the colonies, and colonial leaders themselves initially acknowledged that claim. Its role in establishing and defending them was an important part of its case, especially in these 4 ways:

1. The colonies developed under English royal authority. For example, King James I granted the Virginia Company its charter in 1606, authorizing the enterprise that established Jamestown. The charter created governing institutions whose rules were subject to royal review. Virginia became a royal colony in 1624, governed by a king-appointed governor alongside its assembly. Britain’s claim therefore rested on an existing governmental relationship extending back generations.
2. British investment was essential, even though much early investment was private. Jamestown was financed through the Virginia Company, which sold shares to investors. English investors and settlers established colonies under royal authorization. Their allegiance to the king was explicit in the colony’s founding framework. The First Virginia Charter, April 10, 1606:
   • Described the petitioners as the king’s subjects seeking his permission to establish a colony.
   • Required colonial government to operate under laws and instructions authorized by the king.
   • Established a supervisory council in England appointed by the king
   • Preserved the colonists’ and their descendants’ rights as English subjects.
   • They also named Jamestown after King James I.
3. Britain spent heavily defending its North American empire. The French and Indian War protected the colonies against French power while also serving Britain’s wider imperial interests. The larger Seven Years’ War doubled Britain’s national debt. From London’s perspective, expecting colonists to contribute toward their defense was reasonable: British taxpayers had borne enormous costs, and maintaining troops required continuing revenue. That was a central justification for the Stamp Act.
4. Even colonial protesters expressly recognized British authority. In October 1765, the Stamp Act Congress affirmed that colonists owed “the same allegiance to the crown of Great Britain” as subjects living in Britain, together with due subordination to Parliament. In the same document, however, they argued that taxation required their consent through their own representatives. Their initial position recognized allegiance while disputing the scope of imperial authority.

William Bradford, who sailed on the Mayflower, signed the Mayflower Compact in 1620, which explicitly acknowledged allegiance to King James I. Its opening describes the signers as “the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James.” “Dread” here means revered or held in awe. Several famous Mayflower passengers signed that declaration:

Colonist	Known for
William Bradford	Long-serving governor of Plymouth and author of Of Plymouth Plantation
William Brewster	Religious elder and leading figure among the Pilgrims
Myles Standish	Plymouth’s military leader
John Carver	Plymouth’s first governor
Edward Winslow	Diplomat and later governor of Plymouth
John Alden	Prominent Plymouth settler and colonial official

Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Patrick Henry all publicly affirmed loyalty to King George III—even in 1775, after fighting had begun.

They signed the Olive Branch Petition, which appealed for reconciliation with Britain. Other notable signers included John Jay, Roger Sherman, Richard Henry Lee, and John Dickinson, its principal author. The petition addressed the king as “Most Gracious Sovereign: We, your Majesty’s faithful subjects.” It also declared attachment to his person, family, and government, requested his intervention against objectionable policies, and prayed that his descendants would continue governing his dominions. These were explicit professions of allegiance in the sight of God, although the petition also defended the colonists’ armed resistance as self-defense. So while they were appealing to the crown as subjects they were in open rebellion against it.

The central dispute was over what that legitimate authority permitted. Parliament asserted in the Declaratory Act of 1766 that it could legislate for the colonies “in all cases whatsoever.” Colonial opponents argued that their inherited rights and representative assemblies placed limits on that power. The royal charters themselves had promised colonists the rights and liberties of English subjects and the majority of people who lived in the colonies at the time were fine with that. Majority of the colonists were actually against the war with Britain. The rebels incited, intimidated and coerced people into rebelling with them. Many actually decided to move to Canada to get away from the drama. Those who stayed were practically required to be patriots of the cause under duress.

So, in short, the rebels, after submitting to British rule, tried to dictate how that rule would be enforced. If that’s not rebellion I don’t know what is. It was a Freemasonic takeover. This is evidenced by the fact that the first President of the United States of America was a Freemason and the symbolism embedded in the design of Washington D.C.

The United States was founded through an armed rebellion against British rule, justified by its leaders as a legitimate resistance to tyranny. Here are 5 proofs of that:

1. The Declaration of Independence explicitly defended overthrowing government — July 4, 1776. It declared that under prolonged despotism, “it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.” This makes resistance to an existing government part of the founding document’s stated justification.
2. The Declaration expressly rejected allegiance to the British Crown. It proclaimed the colonies “Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown” and declared their political connection with Britain dissolved. This was a unilateral rejection of the government that had ruled them.
3. King George III formally identified the uprising as rebellion — August 23, 1775. His proclamation described the colonists as engaged in “open and avowed Rebellion,” accusing them of resisting the execution of law and waging war against him. That is direct contemporary evidence of how the established government understood their actions.
4. The colonists fought British troops and established their own military — 1775. Armed conflict at Lexington and Concord on April 19 began the Revolutionary War. On June 19, the Continental Congress commissioned George Washington to command the Continental Army. Colonial resistance had become an organized military challenge to British authority, more than a year before the Declaration.
5. Resistance included deliberate destruction of property — December 16, 1773. During the Boston Tea Party, participants boarded three ships and destroyed 342 chests of East India Company tea. This was an act of defiance against British policy and an important step toward revolution.

The very founding of the United States of America, at its heart, is rebellious. Notice how they used the word “despotism” in a negative light to describe the crown. That word comes from the Greek despotes, which means “master” or “one with power.” It is used for the Father several times in the New Testament. To take a negative view of this word in general indicates a heart of rebellion against any authority. If you are a Bible-believing Christian you have to accept what Christ’s own apostles said about the subject. Honoring authority is very important to God.

Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked. For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God. For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God. For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps…
1 Peter 2:17-21 WOTA

Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ, not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
Ephesians 6:5-8 WOTA

If you want to see an example of a man who served a master he didn’t want to serve, look no further than Joseph, the son of Jacob. He demonstrated a heart of complete service to Pharaoh as if he were serving God Himself. He stored up grain in the 7 years of plenty and when the people were starving in the 7 years of famine he traded that grain for everything they had, from their livestock and land to their very servitude. That faithfulness led to his whole family being saved from the famine and God’s promise to Abraham being fulfilled. That is the example he set for us. Joseph was a type of Christ, who served God, even unto death as a man, knowing the Father would raise Him up. Both Joseph and Yahshua died to themselves and trusted in God’s plan.

The freedom America longs for is not liberty in Christ. It is the worship of the self. Freedom to do what YOU want. It is claimed that freedom isn’t free, because men and women have fought and died to defend it. It sounds so noble, but it is satanic, enlightenment propaganda, the idea that we can seize control over liberty and force it on the world. It’s a Roman idea, really. Even more, a Babylonian one. Even more so an Adamic one. For when Eve was told that she would be like God if she disobeyed Him, so Adam submitted to that idea when he took from her and ate. That type of freedom has always been an illusion and it has always brought death. That kind of liberty is an idol that Americans worship. They are enslaved to the idea. You always serve some master. The liberty and freedom of America is inspired by the spirit of the self, and it is a contagion that has infected the vast majority of the hearts and minds of the country’s citizens. It has also spread to the rest of the world, because the USA has influenced every other nation on earth in various ways.

For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error; promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
2 Peter 2:18-19 WOTA

You cannot serve two masters. You cannot serve yourself and serve God. You cannot serve the world and serve God. If you serve God, you serve God alone.

“No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.” The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Luke 16:13-14 WOTA

America’s rotten heart has eroded this country from within. You can see it standing on the current political stage. It is brash and boasting. Patriots stand on feeble documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, proudly hailing the flag of idolatry and apostasy, never opening their ears to God to understand the error of their ways. Instead, they give lip service to Him while worshiping the god that is trusted on the US dollar bill. “In God we trust” does not mean Yahweh, nor Yahshua. The god they trust shows itself in the symbolism used next to the phrase, Freemasonic symbols of enlightenment that come from Egyptian mythology and other esoteric philosophies.

To be fair, the heart of America isn’t something unique or new. It all started with Adam eating the fruit. Ever since then man has been trying to find his own way to godliness without God. Sure, plenty of people pay God lip service, but their hearts are far from Him.

“You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
Matthew 15:7-9 WOTA

A False Flag from the Start

There are some very obvious prophetic signs relating to the planned sinking of the SS United States. The ship is currently located in Destin, Fort Walton Beach. Destin, as in destiny.

On 11/11/2026 at 1:30 p.m. ET there will be a public sendoff ceremony at the Destin–Fort Walton Beach Convention Center. 11 + 11 = 22. 22 is the number of disintegration and disorganization, especially concerning the mishandling of the Word of God, according to Number in Scripture. This nation certainly has mishandled the Word of God. It has pilfered it, watered it down, poisoned and reshaped it into another gospel. Christian America has made for itself another christ. I would say the number 22 more accurately represents “service to God and the results or consequences that come along with that service. Often it reveals a judgment, in most of those cases death, which generally occurs to the enemies of the faithful or to unfaithful servants in the Old Testament.”

On 11/12/2026 the ship will be taken out into the Gulf of “America” to be sunk in a memorial ritual dedicating the ship to the sea as the “World’s Largest Artificial Reef.” They specifically chose a location 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin.

The ship is also being hailed as becoming one of the world’s premier diving destinations. They want to symbolically sink the nation into the ocean and make it a spectacle. Well, that’s exactly what is going to happen.

A company called Beast Code has been hired to digitally reproduce the SS United States. No, I’m not making that up. This company has contracts and large projects with the United States government from defense projects to working with the Space Force. One of the co-founder’s names is Christian Wirth. Take that how you will.

The implications of these signs should be evident to anyone paying attention. Do I need to spell them out? Well, we might as well.

The rebellion and apostasy of this country have to be dealt with in view of the whole world. Americans have been sailing on a sinking ship for centuries, and it has never been more apparent that our journey is coming to an end. Our national debt has sunk to unfathomable depths. Our markets are propped up by AI, crypto ponzi schemes and rug pulls, all functioning on usury, a sin mentioned in the Bible (Psalm 15:5, Nehemiah 5:7). Never in American history has organized crime been so in-your-face with Black Rock’s Larry Fink heading up the WEF (the successor to Charles Schwab, the one who said, “You’ll own nothing and be happy.”). Insane megacorporations like SpaceX, OpenAI and Palantir run by complete lunatics. Like King Solomon in his early years, in the seeking for more and more progress and more and more opulence we have lost sight of what really matters (see Ecclesiastes). Here is wisdom from the man God gave more wisdom than any other:

Vanity of vanities. What profit has man from all his labors, from which he toils under the sun?

Just as the sinking of the SS United States is planned so too was the intentional crashing of the United States from the outset. The economy was designed around a ponzi scheme of debt and the only way it works is by kicking the can down the road as long as you can. Every future generation pays the price of the previous generation’s greed through inflation and currency debasement. For decades people have been wondering how long it can keep going like this. One day we will find out. I believe God is telling us right now to prepare our hearts for what is soon to come.

Just as the SS United States is going to become a spectacle at the bottom of the ocean so too is it prophesied that the world will stand at a distance in awe at the destruction of Babylon:

He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”

I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues, for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities. Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double. However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’ Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.

The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning, standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’ The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more: merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble; and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls. The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls! For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away, and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’ They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour. “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”

A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all. The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you. The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived. In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.” Revelation 18:2-24 WOTA

Jeremiah uttered a lamentation about Jerusalem that I think is applicable here.

How the city sits solitary, that was full of people! She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become a slave! She weeps bitterly in the night. Her tears are on her cheeks. Among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her. They have become her enemies.
Lamentations 1:1-2 WOTA

The Beast and AI of Revelation

The beast of Revelation 13, the ruling kingdom of its day, will “give breath,” (or spirit/life) to the image (icon) of the beast so that it will speak and cause all to take its mark or be killed. The mark is calculated. It is the number 666, as the Greek says (in Old English style), six, threescore and six hundred. Six is the number of man. 666 is the summing together of the multiplied works of man’s hands, the pinnacle of man’s achievements. America has given birth to AI. Beast Code is helping the nation virtualize and digitize physical reality, a vain attempt to preserve what is falling apart. Our leaders have gone all-in on AI. They truly believe it is the only way to save this country. They think that by getting the entire world hooked on US Treasury-backed stable coins like USDC and by creating the new AI agent economy that they will be able to offload the entire US debt onto the rest of the world and kick the can down the road forever. I think they are going to have a rude awakening one day. God is not mocked.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap age-long life.
Galatians 6:7-8 WOTA

Even in the midst of a great warning, and knowing that there is much suffering to come, even for the saints, I am greatly joyed and excited that I get to witness God’s justice being done.

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
Revelation 6:9-11 WOTA

I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow with them.”
Revelation 14:13 WOTA

Like the angels who will rejoice when God judges the earth, I rejoice now knowing what is coming is His righteous will. I do not fear what men might do to me. I know Yahshua has gone to build a place for me. My treasures are laid up there.

After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God; for his judgments are true and righteous. For he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.” A second said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up to the ages of the ages.” The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
Revelation 19:1-4 WOTA

Lately, governments around the world have been issuing recommendations for citizens and military installations to prepare for power outages and short-term disasters ranging from 3 days to 90 days. Is that fear mongering or a true warning about something that is planned? Trump did say he was planning on taking troops into Iran to end this war and take the Straight of Hormuz. The story in the news is that Iran might counter with a massive cyber attack. I know that the US government has flown many false flags over the years, and this is probably no different. They instigate a situation, fund both sides, start a war and then take advantage of the situation to institute regime change that is favorable to US policy. Does Iran hate the US because of this kind of bullying? I’m sure they do. Maybe there’s some truth to the news for once. All I know is I agree with Off The Kirb ministries in their latest video. We should work to prepare within the means we are capable, but more importantly we should prepare ourselves in spirit and soul for what we might have to inevitably endure.

Now, I’m not here to claim a specific prophetic timeline or that great judgment is happening now. It might be. It might not. What I am saying is God is speaking to us all right now in parables. It is not just me who is privy to this word. It is plain for all who have eyes to see. If you see, then you know what you should be doing. Set your eyes on Heaven.

Just know that God has a plan. If you trust in that, no suffering in this present age will move you away from Him. Lean into Him and He will give you great blessings in the age to come. In the meantime, there may be seasons where we completely depend on Him for our next meal or drink of water. Just as Christ entered into the wilderness after His baptism to fast for 40 days and 40 nights, and to be tempted by the devil, persevering, facing death even before He was to face the cross, so too should we fast and pray at this hour to prepare for carrying our own cross.

Then Yahshua said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 16:24-25 WOTA

Returning back to the number thirteen, we have the opportunity to embody the ultimate victory of that number, to overcome rebellion in the dominion of our own hearts through the sacrifice and service of our faith. That all comes down to relationship with God, like the men who originally settled in this country, honoring authority and giving thanks to our Provider. Here is a verse I quote a lot, but it is a really important one, and it pertains to so many subjects, especially in speaking about the hidden heart of rebellion that many of us carry unaware.

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
Hebrews 3:7-8 WOTA

May the knowledge and grace of Yahweh’s will and Way bless you at this hour brethren. I pray this will be an opportunity for a strengthening of the church. May your saints be ever in Your Presence Lord, in mind, body and spirit. May Your voice be heard to the ends of the earth! Amen!
