The Pentagon has now deployed 20,000 National Guard troops to the US Capitol in preparation for the inauguration.

And the troops preparing for more demonstrations in the nation’s capital will be armed and permitted to use lethal force, according to their commanders at headquarters.

Which marks an escalation in the way authorities are preparing there for any repeat violence after last week’s riot.

According to a statement from the D.C. National Guard, which is commanding Guard forces in the city, including units deployed from six other states: “On January 12, 2021, National Guardsmen were given authorization to be armed in support of the U.S. Capitol Police to protect the U.S. Capitol and individual members of Congress and their staff.”

A defense official confirmed the authorization includes permission for Guard troops to use lethal force.

The request came from federal authorities and was approved by Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy – who oversees D.C. Guard deployments since the District is not a state – indicating it was not a request from the local government.

According to a statement, “Guardsmen are trained in the use of lethal and less-than-lethal force, de-escalation techniques, as well as the use of protective equipment. This is standard for civil disturbance response missions. The National Guard is proud to support the Secret Service, U.S. Capitol Police and Park Police who are leading the security efforts during the events for the 59th Presidential Inauguration.”

The Guard forces there to date had performed an unarmed support role, such as directing traffic and logistical support to free up more civilian law enforcement officers to help protect the Capitol and other sensitive sites in D.C.

That will change with this new authorization, in a shift as the latest example of the new security response to last week’s deadly riot at the Capitol.

The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24, Luke 21, 2 Timothy 3) foretell that there will be a time of division with offenses and bitterness even leading to violence as it was in the Days of Noah that will happen as signs of the Last Days indicating the nearing end of this age.

These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
