"And he [the beast] was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue [wage war] for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them." (Revelation 13: 5-7a)
I used this scripture sixteen months ago to describe the curious connection between Anthony Fauci and the ferocious imposition of the Covid-19 narrative on the world. Four months ago, I wrote that the tide had shifted and was now running the opposite direction. I am more convinced of that today. And I am in good company, all of whom are far more prominent and influential than I am.

If you take the scripture referenced in a literal manner, then you should understand that Fauci’s “death grip” on the lives and well-being of billions around the world has passed its half-way point. The Covid Monster has been public for the last twenty four months and Revelation allows the Beast only forty-two months to work. In eighteen months, this will all be over, that is, if a strictly literal, dogmatic interpretation of this passage is embraced.
Considering that it takes time to wind down an operation of this magnitude, it would seem logical that a visible waning would be taking shape now, with an increasing loss of credibility and influence of all those who have foisted this scam on us.
“Yo, Tony! You only have a little while before you pass into the ash can of history. Make the most of it while you can. On second thought, why don’t you just quit now and leave the rest of us alone.”
On the other hand, perhaps this scripture can be seen in a more nuanced, less definite manner. Perhaps the timeline is not so rigid and is only meant to show that the Beast’s reign is of short duration without specifying any particular length of time. Even so, the main thrust is that there is an end to the rule of evil, and that it does not go on forever. This gives us reason to hope that the light at the end of the tunnel is the daylight of freedom, not an onrushing train which will steamroll and destroy us.
Regardless, in the battle of life and death, the most dangerous time to be around a beast (human or animal) is when it is cornered and cannot get away. This is exactly the situation Covid is in today. The weight of growing public opposition, factual evidence, accurate data, and the incompetence, stupidity, and falsehoods with which the farce has been promoted and supported, is steadily driving the beast further into that corner. It simply cannot escape and, like any trapped, mortally wounded animal, it is striking out frantically. After all, long-held reputations, power, and vast wealth are on the line and will not be surrendered nor given up if there is any possibility of keeping them.
Covid was initiated and grew on only one thing–a lie. A deliberate lie based on a foundation of sand which is steadily being eroded. It cannot stand and will be destroyed in the brilliant light of overwhelming truth. It is only a matter of time.
That begs a question. What will take its place?
Anthony Fauci will go down. Covid, the narrative, (like AIDS before it) will fade into oblivion and distant memory. However, the impersonalized medical/industrial complex which spawned the rise of both will still be with us, in a different format perhaps, but still present. Not only that, but world conditions in many other areas are steadily growing worse and The Powers That Be (TPTB) are still holding the reins of finance, economy, and politics. These well-connected, well-heeled men and women will continue their maniacal drive to gain total mastery and control over everyone/everything, determined that nothing will stand in their way or oppose them. They are joined by the innumerable droves who mindlessly recite the mantras, half-truths, and clichés which are provided as ammunition to the foot-soldiers in the war on human liberty and freedom.
I repeat the question. What will take the place of Covid? Something, but what? Honestly, I do not know, but I am sure of one thing–it will be worse. We should not be surprised to see something far more vicious, restrictive, debilitating, overwhelming than what we have experienced over the last two years. A progression, so to speak, from orcs to oliphaunts.
Evil never sleeps. It never quits in its quest for ultimate, total power. Like the Dark Lord, Sauron, it can only be destroyed by those who will not succumb nor surrender to its totalitarian demands, by those who themselves do not give up the mission.
What is coming? I can only speculate about the future, but my belief is that it will be an epic struggle between the forces of total slavery at one extreme and comprehensive freedom at the other. It will be a battle for the ages, decided right here on Earth, and we are engaged in it, like it or not.
Poor Roger's Almanac 
I’m betting they’ll think of something more potent than Covid:
“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”–Matthew 24:22.
Was Covid a trial run just to see how far they could push the envelope? If something more potent comes along, either naturally or with ‘assistance’, will that be the straw which breaks the camel’s back as far as freedom is concerned? Or will there be significant resistance to any new ‘threat’ simply because more have learned through experience that ‘they’ cannot be trusted to tell the truth? We can only speculate.
