Martin Armstrong (no direct relationship to the COG Armstrong family) made some comments and predictions related to the USA midterm election results:
It’s Going to be Total Chaos – Martin Armstrong
November 7, 2026
Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong with his famous “Socrates” program accurately predicted what would happen in the midterm elections last Tuesday with the so-called “Blue Wave.” Apparently, this accurate prediction took into account what appears to be massive Democrat voter fraud. Nationally, it is reported, some “20 million new voter registrations without proof of citizenship led to 20 million new Democrat voters.” For example, Texas turned completely blue after nearly “three million voters were added to the rolls without proof of citizenship.” Armstrong says, “Socrates is looking at everything. It showed Texas would flip blue, but Florida would stay red. . .. Even on the national level, it showed we were looking at a blue tsunami. It is also showing that was necessary for its forecast going into 2032. . .. The Democrats are in a long-term bear market, despite all the hoopla and everything else. Socrates shows they will not win in 2028. I have said in my last three conferences that the Democrat party will split. You have even seen James Carville say he’s no longer a Democrat (and wants to leave the party).
Armstrong contends what he is seeing is lots of upheaval coming from a variety of sources. Could some of this upheaval come from the Trump Administration unwinding the voter fraud? Could it be from Democrats committing lawfare against Trump and his allies? Could it be from funding more war in Ukraine against Russia, or all of the above. Armstrong says, “Socrates was looking at trends, and, basically, it was time to flip. Then you look at what is going to come, and it’s going to be total chaos. . .. You are going to be looking at investigations and all sorts of things. What the computer is projecting is this chaos for the next two years. We are going into a stagflation and a recession where the economic growth will now decline. Inflation is going to go up. Democrats who voted this way are going to find out it does not matter who the heck you put in. Washington is Washinton. Going into 2028, you are going to see a rise in third party activity. People are just fed up with Republicans and Democrats.” https://usawatchdog.com/its-going-to-be-total-chaos-martin-armstrong/
Martin Armstrong has a computer program called Socrates which he claims is very accurate in its predictions.
Yet, he and his program do not seem to rely on, nor properly understand, biblical prophecies-–particularly related to Europe–and he makes mistakes.
That said, might we see total chaos in the USA?
Yes.
That would be consistent with the following words of Jesus:
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8, NKJV)
“Nation … against nation” is literally “ethnos … against ethnos” in the original Greek. Notice how the Orthodox Jewish Bible translates this:
For there will be an intifada of ethnic group against ethnic group and malchut against malchut, there will be earthquakes in place after place, [and] there will be famines. These things are but the beginning of the Chevlei [Moshiach]. (Mark 13:8, OJB)
The USA has division and ethnic strife.
The day after the midterm elections, I posted:
The USA will become more divided.
Jesus warned:
25 … Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. (Mark 3:24-25)
17 … Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. (Luke 11:17)
The division is a BIG DEAL. There will be troubles because of the election results.
The end of the USA is coming (cf. Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11; Habakkuk 2:6-8).
The time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), also known as the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21), is coming and the USA and its Anglo-Saxon-Celtic allies will be affected.
National repentance is the only way to prevent it, yet no major political leader has called for it or for turning to God.
Personal repentance, however, is still possible. Your personal future can still be much brighter than that of your country. Jesus, in addition to being the source of salvation, also offered physical protection to the most faithful (see Philadelphian Christian Great Tribulation Protection and/or watch Great Tribulation Protection).
Now the Kingdom of God is the solution, but first there will be a horrific 3 1/2 years that the politicians of the USA do not fully grasp. (Thiel B. Democrats and Socialists win big in USA mid-term elections. COGwriter, November 4, 2026)
Many things will get worse in the USA.
There will be protests, civil unrest, and rioting.
Now regarding riots and protests, notice something from the old Radio Church of God written by the late Garner Ted Armstrong over60 years ago:
“POLICE BRUTALITY!” “Poverty!” “Unequal opportunity!” “Illiteracy!” “Poor housing!” “Police Chief Parkerl” These are hurled back and forth as causes of the race riots in Los Angeles. …
The cause: HUMAN NATURE. And remember, once again, just what IS human nature! Human nature is a mixture of vanity, jealousy, lust and greed. Jeremiah was inspired to write, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it” (Jer. 17:9).
James said it is the NATURE of man to rebel, to riot, to fight wars! “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not , because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts” (Jas. 4:1-3).
The Bible is the book about human nature. It explains what human nature really IS, how it is hostile and angry toward law. The apostle Paul said, “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be!” (Rom. 8:7.) And the lusts, jealousies, resentments and frustrations of human nature are not limited to anyone race. But they are most assuredly aggravated by race hatred. …
Racial tensions in the United States are being aggravated during these modern times, not quieted. Bigotry and bias are INCREASING, not decreasing. …
The plain truth of the matter is that the family is breaking down and disintegrating among all racial communities, around the world!
And remember, too, that Almighty God seriously indicts His people ISRAEL, more than any others for this breakdown in the family! He said, through Isaiah, “As for MY people [and he was referring to the House of Israel !], children are their oppressors, and women rule over them, o my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths” (Isa. 3:12). ..broken homes-that is, homes in which one or the other parent is absent! And what effect would this have on the morals, the character, the education, the economic status of all these children?
The Watts riot is one resounding answer! …
Whether we like to believe it or not, your Bible prophesies we are headed for some of the bloodiest riots, mass uprisings, and rampant crime in our big cities that this world has ever seen! …
To a certain degree, the only reason THOUSANDS more humans do not openly steal, rob, burn or kill is the FEAR OF REPRISAL! They fear being CAUGHT at it. But when it seems EVERYONE ELSE is suddenly defying the law, it’s much easier for many people who normally might not steal to suddenly give vent to their inherent nature! …
Human nature IS hate, animosity toward authority, jealousy, vanity, lust and greed! Human nature IS intolerant. It is biased! It is filled with SELF, and terribly bigoted! And human nature is not limit ed to one race!
Dr . Robert M. Page once said, “So long as we have human nature, we shall have war.”
But God’s Word revealed the basic truth of that statement centuries before. James asks, “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence , even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts” (Jas. 4:1-3). …
When a white man murders, he is a white murderer. And when a black man murders, he is a black murderer. The color of a man’s skin is only one more description of him as a person, as a human being- like his height, weight, shape, place of birth or age. But whether he is white or black, red, pink, polka dotted or blue-if he breaks the law, if he resists arrest, if he loots, robs, kills or steals, then he is guilty of LAWBREAKING-NOT “guilty” merely because he is a member of one race or another. (Armstrong GT. The RACE RIOTS of the FUTURE! Plain Truth, October 1965)
Chaos and protests are consistent with a prediction from Garner Ted Armstrong.
Yes, the midterm elections and what happens afterwards look to be triggers in the future.
That said, one day the USA will be taken over (Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11; Habakkuk 2:6-8)–but that taking over will not be for at least 3 1/2 years (and likely longer than that)–at the start of the Great Tribulation and what I would call World War Three.
