Show Notes

  • Barbados officially became a republic this week, ending nearly 400 years of the island nation’s official head of state being Britain’s monarch. Today’s show digs into the significance of this event.
  • We review the history of this former British colony, how it was part of a dramatic fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and how Barbados renouncing the Queen could reverberate throughout what remains of the British Commonwealth.
  • We look at how Britain’s legacy is being smeared, and how this illustrates and is certain to intensify the fall of the British crown.
  • We also see how Britain’s waning influence in the Caribbean is opening the door for another, much more aggressive, imperial power to move in: China. This too points to the fulfillment of one of the most dramatic prophecies for our day.
  • And we talk about why we should actually build a love for empire.
