The Attack of the King of the South (No. 141D

Introduction

The prophecy God gave to Daniel concerning the time of the end is critical to understanding what is to happen up to the coming of the Messiah and what is to happen regarding the entities and nations involved in this sequence of the Time of the End and what is to occur regarding the people involved in the Middle East and the surrounding nations, as the prophecy is centred on the Holy Land. However, it does develop into World War III and the Establishment of the Millennium (No. 300B) under Messiah and the Heavenly Host from the First Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143A).

Time of the End

As we see above and from the text on The Establishment of the Millennium (No. 300B), “God has told us, through prophecy, what is to occur. The prophet Daniel says in Dan. 11:40-41 that: “At the time of the end, the king of the South shall attack him, but the king of the North shall rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships; and he shall come into countries and shall overflow and pass through. He shall come into the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom and Moab, and the main part of the Ammonites. He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and silver, and all the precious things of Egypt and the Libyans and Ethiopians will follow in his train.”

The question remains now as to who is the King of the South in the Last Days that attacks the King of the North? That is explained in this text [No. 141D_6.] This invasion is a prelude to the much larger war of the Sixth Trumpet in No. 141C. Daniel says from 11:44 “But tidings from the east and the north shall alarm him and he shall go forth with great fury to exterminate and utterly destroy many.”

This is the war of the Sixth Trumpet (No. 141C). Daniel continues, in 11:45, with: “And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end with none to help him.” The Northern Forces will occupy the Middle East and the armies will occupy from the coast at Gaza east into Jerusalem. They will remain there until Messiah and the host destroy them at their arrival in 2030 (No. 141E). Israel has now taken over Gaza as a prelude to Dan. 11:45. (See also below.)

The text refers to the Islamist forces that are coupled with Eurasian and Asian forces and they are used by the demons to work with the Marxist Globalist systems to attempt to destroy Europe. The King of the North is the European forces, that are currently operating as NATO with the American Forces. The Marxist Globalists in Europe operating out of Davos with the WEF and the Socialist Left in Europe and the UK and the corrupted Tory system that is also working with the WEF, and the Globalists, will cause the massive civil disobedience and uprising we now see emerging all over Europe and the Americas and in AU and NZ. This will cause a massive reaction among the Western democracies and the destruction of the Marxists Globalists, as they now form. The nationalist forces will also gut the universities. NATO will invade the Middle East and then undertake to destroy Hadithic Islam. They will also take over North Africa, and then into Gaza and the Yemen. The final form of the Empire of the Beast that emerges will then seek to eliminate the entire religious systems all over the planet. They will then institute a replacement religious system which will envelop the whole world (see Rev. 14: 9-11). The news from the east and the north that alarms him are the conflicts in Eurasia and East Asia, that will extend into and decimate Europe and will kill a third of the world. This also extends all over Europe and into Africa and the Americas. America will occupy the north of Australia with military forces, and the Marxist Socialists in AU, because of their Globalist treachery, will be smashed and eliminated. At present the people, used by the Globalists, undermine their own security through cowardice and Marxist misdirection through corrupt media and leftist politics on both sides of the parliaments. See also below. We are about to go into the Mission of the Witnesses in 2026-2027. That follows the War of the Sixth Trumpet and the Empire of the Beast that begins the 42 months to the Messiah and its complete destruction at the arrival of the Messiah for the 43^rd Month. The biochemical war of the Fifth Trumpet continues on over the 42 months of the Beast. That will kill 25% of the world.”

Forming the King of the South in the Last Days.

The development of the Kings of the North and the South is explained in overview in Daniel Chapter 11:1-39.

The Kings of the South and the North

Daniel 11:1-39 “And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him. ²"And now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia; and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. ³Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and do according to his will. ⁴And when he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these. ⁵"Then the king of the south shall be strong, but one of his princes shall be stronger than he and his dominion shall be a great dominion. ⁶After some years they shall make an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make peace; but she shall not retain the strength of her arm, and he and his offspring shall not endure; but she shall be given up, and her attendants, her child, and he who got possession of her. ⁷"In those times a branch from her roots shall arise in his place; he shall come against the army and enter the fortress of the king of the north, and he shall deal with them and shall prevail. ⁸He shall also carry off to Egypt their gods with their molten images and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and for some years he shall refrain from attacking the king of the north. ⁹Then the latter shall come into the realm of the king of the south but shall return into his own land.¹⁰"His sons shall wage war and assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on and overflow and pass through, and again shall carry the war as far as his fortress. ¹¹Then the king of the south, moved with anger, shall come out and fight with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, but it shall be given into his hand. ¹²And when the multitude is taken, his heart shall be exalted, and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail. ¹³For the king of the north shall again raise a multitude, greater than the former; and after some years he shall come on with a great army and abundant supplies. ¹⁴"In those times many shall rise against the king of the south; and the men of violence among your own people shall lift themselves up in order to fulfil the vision; but they shall fail. ¹⁵Then the king of the north shall come and throw up siegeworks, and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, or even his picked troops, for there shall be no strength to stand. ¹⁶But he who comes against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the glorious land, and all of it shall be in his power. ¹⁷He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and he shall bring terms of peace and perform them. He shall give him the daughter of women to destroy the kingdom; but it shall not stand or be to his advantage. ¹⁸Afterward he shall turn his face to the coastlands, and shall take many of them; but a commander shall put an end to his insolence; indeed he shall turn his insolence back upon him. ¹⁹Then he shall turn his face back toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found. ²⁰"Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute through the glory of the kingdom; but within a few days he shall be broken, neither in anger nor in battle. ²¹In his place shall arise a contemptible person to whom royal majesty has not been given; he shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. ²²Armies shall be utterly swept away before him and broken, and the prince of the covenant also. ²³And from the time that an alliance is made with him he shall act deceitfully; and he shall become strong with a small people. ²⁴Without warning he shall come into the richest parts of the province; and he shall do what neither his fathers nor his fathers' fathers have done, scattering among them plunder, spoil, and goods. He shall devise plans against strongholds, but only for a time. ²⁵And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for plots shall be devised against him. ²⁶Even those who eat his rich food shall be his undoing; his army shall be swept away, and many shall fall down slain. ²⁷And as for the two kings, their minds shall be bent on mischief; they shall speak lies at the same table, but to no avail; for the end is yet to be at the time appointed. ²⁸And he shall return to his land with great substance, but his heart shall be set against the holy covenant. And he shall work his will, and return to his own land. ²⁹"At the time appointed he shall return and come into the south; but it shall not be this time as it was before. ³⁰For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and be enraged and take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and give heed to those who forsake the holy covenant. ³¹Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the continual burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. ³²He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant; but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. ³³And those among the people who are wise shall make many understand, though they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder, for some days. ³⁴When they fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery; ³⁵and some of those who are wise shall fall, to refine and to cleanse them and to make them white, until the time of the end, for it is yet for the time appointed. ³⁶"And the king shall do according to his will; he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is determined shall be done. ³⁷He shall give no heed to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women; he shall not give heed to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all. ³⁸He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these; a god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. ³⁹He shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god; those who acknowledge him he shall magnify with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide the land for a price.”

The development is explained in Commentary on Daniel Ch. 11 (F027xi). It progresses over the period from the Babylonians right up to the Last Days and flows on into Ch. 12 (F027xii, xiii) to the coming of the Messiah and the end of this Age. We are now explaining this progression.

“ Note that in Chapter 11 the story develops from the Babylonians and the Medo-Persians to the Greeks and then the Romans and continues on up until the Last Days (see the paper Day of the Lord and the Last Days (No. 192)). We have discussed this section below.

The first section takes us from the last of the kings of the Medes and Persians to the transfer to the Greeks under Alexander.

The hostility of the Medes and Persians was turned to friendliness to the Jews by the angels Gabriel and Michael (Soncino. Intr. notes). The course of history is determined by God, and at the time willed by Him salvation will come to His suffering people (ibid).

The sequence of the Kings is listed in (P013). Of these, Xerxes was listed as the richest among the classical writers (Herodotus VII: 20-99). He is identified as the Ahasuerus of Esther 1:4 (ibid). The invasion of Greece he stirred up, by marshalling his vast resources, ended disastrously for him at Salamis in 480 BCE (ibid).

Greece was a loose aggregation of city states. It was in the days of Phillip of Macedon, and his son Alexander, that Greece was really unified as a kingdom. They then attacked Persia, and at the Battle of the Granicus River (334 BCE). They ruled the known world from the Adriatic to Central Asia. The empire broke up after his death (v. 4). His kingdom was broken and divided into four parts (Dan. 8:8). ‘Not to his posterity’ means that his two sons were murdered thirteen years after their father’s death. His dominion broke up in the divided kingdom (Dan. 8:22).

The others were the petty dynasties that emerged over the next 150 years in Cappadocia and Armenia etc. beside these being the generals who were his immediate successors.

Verse 20 then focuses on the areas to the North and South that influence Judea i.e. Egypt and Syria/Mesopotamia.

Verse 5 refers to Ptolemy I (306-285) as first satrap (321-306) and then king of Egypt as king of the South and Seleucus I was appointed satrap over Babylonia, and from then on however, was in control of the Babylonian system of chapter 2, and was king of the North.

Negeb usually indicated the Southern area of Palestine but here (and in Dan. 8:9) it denotes Egypt. Here the king of the South is stronger than the King of the North.

If AJ is retained, the term one of his princes refers to Seleucus (Soncino ibid). Seleucus had to flee to Egypt for political reasons where Ptolemy made him his general. Later, with Egyptian aid, he recovered Babylonia in 312 BCE. The Jewish people marked a new era from this date (ibid).

Ptolemy II gave his daughter Berenice in marriage to Antiochus II to mark the end of a long and costly war which had exhausted the two countries He divorced his wife Laodice. He had a child by Berenice and made her son his heir in place of his other sons. When Ptolemy II died he divorced Berenice and remarried Laodice, who later poisoned him because she had lost all confidence in him. She had her son murder both Berenice and her infant child and thus he secured the throne for himself.

The term at the end of years refers to the period from Seleucus I to the incidents referred to in verse 6. The daughter referred to is Berenice. The term “shall come” is used of marriage (cf. Josh. 15:18; Judg. 12:9).

They that brought her refers to the escort forces that brought her to Antioch.

Verses 7-9 refer to Ptolemy III brother of the murdered Berenice and Seleucus II (246-226) who were then at war. Ptolemy III (247-222) invaded Seleucus’ empire and after seizing Seleucus and the fortified area of Antioch overran the greater part of the dominion as far as Babylon and returned to Egypt laden with booty (Soncino ibid).

According to Jerome the molten images brought back by Ptolemy were images taken from Egypt some 280 years earlier by Cambyses in 525 BCE. The Soncino note to verse 8 says that there were over 2,500 precious vessels brought back by Ptolemy with 40,000 talents of silver.

Verse 9. In 242, after two years Seleucus re-established his authority and marched against Egypt but was defeated and compelled to return to Antioch with only a small remnant of his army in 242 BCE.

10-19: Seleucus III, Antiochus III, Ptolemy IV and Ptolemy V. According to Polybius the historical background is of the sons of Seleucus II. Seleucus III ascended the throne in 226-223. He was murdered during a Campaign in Asia Minor. His brother Antiochus III (223-187) (called the Great) resumed the war with Egypt, recovering the fortress of Selucia, the province of Coele-Syria, Tyre, Ptolemais and neighbouring towns. Soon a larger Egyptian army marched through Judea and was met between Lebanon and the sea by Antiochus who routed it and took many Judean cities both west and east of the Jordan (218). In the following spring Antiochus at the head of an army of 60,000 and Ptolemy with 70,000 troops met at Raphia some twenty miles southwest of Gaza where Antiochus was thoroughly defeated losing 10,000 infantry and 300 cavalry and retired to Antioch. A peace was then signed between the two kings for one year.

Antiochus III (the Great) became conqueror of Asia and suzerain of Egypt. It was Rome that brought about his downfall. It was in this way that the title King of the North began to be transferred to Rome.

He shall return in verse 10 refers to the fact that Antiochus returned in 217 to attack Egypt at the stronghold of Raphia.

The king of the South in verse 11 was Ptolemy IV who was to stand against the 60,000 men of Antiochus and remain the victor.

He shall not prevail in verse 12 is translated (Bevan) as he shall not show himself strong. The victory did not bring him a permanent triumph. Of an indolent and dissolute character, he failed to follow up the advantage and concluded peace with Antiochus.

Verse 13 describes the events 12 years after the battle of Raphia in 205 BCE.

Verse 16 carries on the conflict between Antiochus and Ptolemy. The skill of Antiochus showed him to be the victor.

Verse 17 refers to the fact that in 197 BCE Antiochus set out with his fleet to attack the coasts of Cilicia, Lydia and Caria who were under Egyptian suzerainty. Antiochus used all the forces at his disposal. He then made an agreement with Egypt due to the concerns over the rising power of Rome.

The reference to the daughter of women refers to Antiochus’ daughter Cleopatra whom he gave to Ptolemy in 194/3 with the promise of Coele-Syria, Phoenicia and Judea as dowry.

Verse 18 deals with the defeat of Antiochus by the Romans, being at the height of his power. By 196 most of Asia Minor was in his hands.

He had seized a part of Thrace and in 192 he had seized and occupied land in Greece. In 191 he was defeated at Thermopylae by the Romans who decided to oust this enemy from Asia. Later that year he was soundly defeated at Smyrna at the head of an army of 80,000 men. He was forced to renounce all claims in Europe and Asia Minor.

The captain in verse 18 was Lucius Scipio the Roman Commander that initiated this retribution.

The Romans imposed an immense fine on him and he retired east of the Taurus Mountain and attacked the Temple at Elymais with the intention to rob it to pay the fine. He was attacked by the locals and slain and thus reached an ignoble end and disappeared from history (v. 19).

Antiochus the Great left two sons Seleucus IV (187-175) and Antiochus Epiphanes both of whom successively came to the throne (cf. v. 20). The term “cause an exactor to pass” (cf. Zech. 9:8) may well refer to the fact that in order to pay the Roman fine of 1,000 talents for nine years he sent an exactor to Judea in order to pay part of the fine. Within few days refers to the fact that he only reigned 12 years.

Verse 21 refers to the succession to Seleucus IV by Antiochus Epiphanes. (175-164). In chapter 7:8 he is referred to as a little horn.

He did not succeed honourably, as the rightful heir was his nephew Demetrius, son of Seleucus, who was at the time serving as a hostage in Rome. His understanding stratagems in 8:23 may indicate that the pro-Demetrius party he was able to disarm by flattery and guile.

The reference to the prince of the Covenant may refer to Onias III the High Priest that was deposed by Antiochus in 175 and assassinated in 171. He was not the anointed one in 9:26 as that would be impossible (cf. Soncino fn.).

The reference in verse 23 is historically obscure and may refer to the Idumean reign over Judea after the battle of Actium where Herod supported Octavian in the league and he was the little nation; however, that is later in 31 BCE.

Verse 24 is deemed to refer to Antiochus and considers that God had determined his downfall.

Verse 25-28 refers to Antiochus’ first campaign against Egypt in 170 CE. The king of the South here was Ptolemy IV his nephew.

His plans were to conquer Egypt which he desired to rule. Ptolemy Philometor was to be defeated despite his military superiority, perhaps through treachery.

Verse 27 refers to both the kings Antiochus and Philometor speaking lies at one table. The plans are noted in 1Maccabees 1:16.

Verse 28 refers to the fact that Antiochus returned to his own land with great booty. The term his heart shall be against the holy covenant refers to the fact that he looted the Temple at Jerusalem on the way through Judea and killed many citizens on the way back to Syria.

Verse 29 refers to the Second Expedition against Egypt which would not be as successful as was the First.

Verse 30 refers to the ships of Kittim which are the trading ships of the Mediterranean and included the isles such as Cyprus and beyond to the west. This indicates the power of Rome extending even to Tarshish. The reference is probably to the Roman Legate Caius Popilius Laenas who demanded that Antiochus, even though in sight of Alexandria, withdraw his forces from Egypt.

The term he shall be cowed refers to the fact that Laenas drew a circle around him and demanded an answer before he stepped out of the circle, as a result of which he agreed. He then returned to Syria and on the way entered the temple and looted it and then supported the Hellenisers who would abandon the covenant in Judea (1 Macc. 1:11ff).

Verse 31 refers to the military forces sent by Antiochus to take Jerusalem. The stronghold refers to the fortifications around the Temple which the forces of Antiochus destroyed.

They removed the continual burnt offering (8:11) and established a Greek idol in the Temple in December 168 BCE (Soncino fn. to v. 31). It was through this text that the people were divided and judged (v. 32).

Verse 33 refers to the time of the Maccabees and the freedom of Judah from the oppression of the Syrians and the Northern powers. Many assisted them for fear of the pious (v. 34).

The term shall stumble (v. 35) refers to the martyrdom of many.

Verse 36 refers to Antiochus elevating himself above every god as God manifest on a coin of the realm. The strange things were of gross impiety which invoked God to act against him. He honoured foreign deities rather than the gods of his fathers. The desire of women refers to the worship of the Mother goddess cult and as seen in the baking of cakes for Tammuz that continued on to the present day as Easter buns (cf. Origin of Christmas and Easter (No. 235)).

The god of strongholds is the Roman system of Jupiter Capitolinus (Charles). The empire was about to switch to Rome and then remain there for Millennia. Antiochus erected a statue in Antioch to that system.

Verse 39 does not have the term the help of in the Hebrew (cf. Soncino fn.) The appointment of apostates to High Office was one of Antiochus’ methods of government.

Verse 40-45 is held by the Soncino to refer to Antiochus’ end rather than the times of the end which the system switches to. They allocate the last verses of the text to refer to an invasion of Judea on the way to Egypt and the news from the east and the north caused him to move back into the north sections to combat it. This is not the intent, nor the history.

This Jewish switching of the time frame and the hiding of the later developments has led the Oxford academics to use the Ras Shamra texts to denigrate the intent of the prophecies in Daniel (cf. ch. 1 and Intr.).

The sheer accuracy of the prophecies has led these academics that do not believe in the inspiration of Scripture to reject the texts as written in the Second Century BCE after the Maccabees rather than by Daniel in the Seventh/Sixth Century BCE.

Chapter 11:40 says at the time of the end and the Jewish scholars try to make it refer to the reign of Antiochus. The period of the Messiah and the period on into the 20^th and 21^stcenturies are seen from Isaiah and Ezekiel in the prophecy of Pharaoh’s broken arms and proven directly from history.

Chapter 12 below shows that view is incorrect and deals with the Second Coming of the Messiah and the Resurrection of the Dead.

In the last section (in emphasis) the text shows the occupation of the Middle East by this great military power which brings the end time power of the Roman Beast system into conflict after its occupation of the Middle East with the powers to the East and North of the Holy Land. Many US religious could not understand that the invasion of Russia and the Battle of Stalingrad was to the West and North of Jerusalem and could not have been the area in question. Thus the Nazi invasion of Russia in Operation Barbarossa in WWII did not qualify and could not have qualified for the conflict mentioned in Daniel 11:44-45.

The text of verses 40-45 assumes that Egypt is captured together with Palestine and Trans-Jordan. The King of the North has to enter and capture Egypt and also occupy Palestine. During that time he also hears tidings from the east and north and goes forth to utterly destroy and remove many. Other than the Soncino and the Oxford RSV, this prophecy was not held to have been fulfilled until the Second World War with the Axis invasion of Africa and then Hitler’s invasion of Russia. However, the east and north of Palestine and Jerusalem is in Central Russia and this prophecy does not appear to have been as yet fulfilled. The text about pitching his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious Holy Mountain was held to have been fulfilled by the army in 1917 but they did not enter Russia or engage in wholesale operations beyond establishing Iraq as a pro-western kingdom (cf. P184).

We know that at this time the great tribulation will occur and the full catastrophe of WWIII will come to fruition. At that time the Messiah will come to save those of us that eagerly await him. The Host of Heaven will imprison the Fallen Host in Tartaros for the Millennium.

The start of the crisis will develop with the attack against Europe by the King of the South which in the Last Days is the Islamic union of the Arab States.

Europe will retaliate and push the Muslim forces out of Europe. The Muslim attacks will concentrate on Rome and two other prongs. Rome will be destroyed. Its end shall come with a flood.

After major conflict, the European system will occupy the Middle East and set up the new religious centre at Jerusalem. The Muslims will receive assistance from the Russians but following their defeat the system will be faced with a major crisis in the Central Asian Republics.

It is not all that difficult to understand this last phase.

The area to the North and East of Jerusalem has to be no further west than the Caucasus Mountains and to the east of the Black Sea. It must therefore be east of the Ukraine. The lands south of the Caucasus are Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. The area north of the Caucasus between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea is the Southern Part of Russia moving north to the Volga and the Caspian Depression and the Ural Zayyq or Ural River, which drains into the Caspian Sea. The Don is to the West of the Volga and drains into the Black Sea and not the Caspian. The Don is the Western-most delineation of the placement of the forces mentioned in Daniel 11:44-45.

Georgia is the northern-most country of the Semitic nations and its border on the Caucasus marks the division of the allocation of Shem and the regions of Japheth that are to the north of that divide.

The East of the Caspian Sea we see the former Republics of the Soviet Union that border Iran, Afghanistan and China with a small section of Tajikistan bordering northern Pakistan and the northern border of the disputed area of Jammu and Kashmir.

These areas are, running from west to east, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan with Kazakhstan spanning the northern borders of all the others and with China in the South-east and the entire Russian Federation in the Northern borders from West to East.

It does not take much imagination to see that the news that alarms the King of the North, that is the Beast power, is mobilisation of the entire Russian Federation to move into and reclaim all the old Soviet Socialist Republics and restore the so-called Russian Empire. This will be encouraged by the Communist Chinese who seek expansion to the West also and will use the Russians to achieve it.

Russia has been working behind the scenes for quite some time now to destabilise Georgia and Armenia, and to stop the eastward move of NATO. However, the EU is faced with a serious problem and Russia will continue to try to swallow the former republics, which include the Baltic Republics. Belarus is forced back into the fold through catastrophe and the Ukraine will be pressured and subject to invasion but will be free after the subjugation of the New Soviet Union under Putin and his bureaucrats.

That war will be a massive Holocaust and will result in the final annihilation of the second expansion of the Russians trying to rebuild the Soviets.

These invasions and pressure tactics by Russia will continue until the emergent Beast Power that is Europe will be forced to take action to consolidate its expanding empire and its energy resources that come in through the Caucasus and the Ukraine. Russia is gambling on the fact that Europe needs the unfettered resources and the Globalists will want them in charge of the Asia Co-prosperity sphere.

The problem is that China wants to control the Asia Co-prosperity sphere and the Globalists in Australia at first assisted them but are now realising the dreadful danger in which they placed Australia. To that end they deliberately destroyed the Australian Defence capacity.

The vision of the Globalists is not shared by the authoritarians of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China. They are merely used as a means to an end for world domination by a very dangerous authoritarian regime.

The aggressive behaviour of the Russians is carefully calculated brinkmanship that will bring the area to total war and the devastation that will occur will be massive.

When this Beast Power of the North wipes out the forces from Central Asia we will see them meet their end with the advent of the Messiah and the Host.

The text in Daniel chapter 7:7 is concerned with the events in Daniel 11:40-45. These are the wars of the last days and how the Empire of the Beast takes over and subjugates the other three empires and controls the Holy Land and the world from the period of the 42 months. This is the end phase of the idol of chapter 2 in the feet of iron and miry clay and the ten toes which are in fact of the economic system of the New World Order. They are destroyed by Christ (see F027ii)).

The period of the subjugation of the Second and Third Beasts is to occur over the short period of the wars between the time that he goes forth from the Middle East to subjugate the nations that alarm him due to the news from the North and the East. This is the period referred to in Revelation as the wars of the Fifth and the Sixth Trumpet. A third of mankind will be killed in these wars. In the period of the 42 months that the Beast and the False Prophet and the Antichrist rule from Jerusalem they will be opposed by the Two Witnesses sent by God to stand before them. These are Enoch and Elijah who were sent to stand before the god of this earth (see the paper The Witnesses (including the Two Witnesses (No. 135); Wars of the End Part II: 1260 Days of the Witnesses (No. 141D)) See also No. 141C).

Then we are faced with the coming of the Messiah to take control of the earth and to restore the Kingdom of God (see the papers Advent of the Messiah (No. 210A); (210B); (141E), (141E_2) and also (141E_3)).

See also Chapter 12.

The timeline between 11:1-39 and verses 40-45 is broken by an event concerning the Demons in preparation for WWIII and then sees the flow on into Dan. 11:40-45 and the 1335 Days of Daniel Ch. 12 (No. 141C_4C) over the Time of the End (No. 141C_4D).

At Rev. 9:1-12 we see the initial release of the demons from the pit and this demon was permitted to release the power of the demons in the pit. These powers were as locusts, and they were allowed to torture the people of mankind that do not have the Seal of God upon their foreheads. It is this group that are the majority of mankind and their torment goes on from now until the final phase over the Last Days to the eradication of unrepentant mankind as covered in the text The Establishment of the Millennium (No. 300B). So the demonic testing involves two separate systems of the Wars of the Fifth and the Sixth Trumpets and these are explained in No. 141C).

Here at Rev. 9:13-21 we see the involvement of the demons at the highest level of the Morning Stars and God has granted permission for the actions of the release of Four Morning Stars at the Pit of Tartaros at the Euphrates. The Star referred to is a Morning Star or planetary commander that was confined to the earth. This could be either Satan, or the Aeon, as both are Senior commanders of the rebel system. They are given permission to release the four Morning Stars who were sub-commanders of the rebel system confined to the earth, and here Tartaros, to limit the damage to the creation over the six thousand years but were released to measure their conduct over the end of the Age.

Revelation 9:1-12 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit; ²he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. ³Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth; ⁴they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads; ⁵they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man. ⁶And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them. ⁷In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, ⁸their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; ⁹they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. ¹⁰They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails. ¹¹They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon. ¹²The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

The Wars of the Fifth Trumpet are the biochemical wars that were instituted for population control as determined by the Marxist Globalists. It is being reported that the poison vaxxes were determined as an alternative in a paper presented by Kissinger in the middle 20^th century. The poison vaxxes are part of the biological genocide for population control all over the world and this war started in earnest from 2020 after the Wuhan gain of function research in China funded by the US under Fauci. The viruses were patented in 2003 and developed to 2017 in USA, Canada, France and AU. This war will continue now, killing humans, until the Globalists are completely wiped out in 2030, and Christ sets up true world control from Jerusalem, and destroys the Military Industrial Complex (MIC).

Revelation 9:13-21 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, ¹⁴saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." ¹⁵So the four angels were released, who had been held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of mankind.¹⁶The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. ¹⁷And this was how I saw the horses in my vision: the riders wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulphur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulphur issued from their mouths. ¹⁸By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulphur issuing from their mouths. ¹⁹For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails are like serpents, with heads, and by means of them they wound. ²⁰The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot either see or hear or walk; ²¹nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their immorality or their thefts.

This phase of Rev. 11:13-21 covers the final phase of the Sixth Angel's War of the Sixth Trumpet and that commences with the attack of the King of the South.

Daniel 11:40-45 "At the time of the end the king of the south shall attack him; but the king of the north shall rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall come into countries and shall overflow and pass through. ⁴¹He shall come into the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites. ⁴²He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.⁴³He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall follow in his train. ⁴⁴But tidings from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go forth with great fury to exterminate and utterly destroy many. ⁴⁵And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.

This sequence leads into the final phase of the prophecies of Daniel concerning the wars of the end and the arrival of the Host under the Archangel Michael to take over the world for the millennial system we see in Rev. Ch. 20 (F066v). The sequence occurs in Dan. Ch. 12 and is covered in Commentary on Daniel Ch. 12 (F027xii and xiii ) and No. 141C_4C.

The Attack of the King of the South was some time in the preparing. It all came to a head from the end of the 2520 years from Carchemish to the Wars of the End and the Time of Jacob's Trouble beginning in 1916. This period was tied into the Prophecy of Pharoah's Broken Arms (No. 036) and Fall of Egypt: The Wars of the End (No. 036_2). As we saw, Part I also had two forty-year periods; 605 BCE to 565 BCE being the first forty-year period.

The second block of forty years went from Egypt regaining its independence to 525 BCE when Cambyses retook Egypt. So also the final phase went from 1916 to 1953 when Egypt declared its independence under Gamel Abdul Nasser, and in 1956, Egypt finally had control of its assets in the form of the Suez, and thus, all of Sinai. The next forty-year block was from 1956 to 1996/7 at the end of the Time of the Gentiles or Nations. Over this same period the Marxist Communists developed that system from 1917, and in the same year the British Commonwealth took Israel and began the establishment of that section of prophecy. The instruments of the Demons also then prepared for this final phase, with the Treaty of Rome, in 1956. The Demons operating out of the USA also developed the plans for the three world wars (WWI, WWII, & WWIII) using Scottish and York Rite Freemasonry with their Satanist counterparts in the Vatican and also in the British Commonwealth. From 1997-2025 they had undermined completely the Religious. Economic and Political systems of the entire world. The European systems had been undermined and also using the Marxist Globalist systems, after WWII, established the WEF Globalist's and the UN systems with Stalin and Roosevelt's help, undermining Churchill and the British Commonwealth at Yalta. The Demons, using the political, and social systems, of these same traitors, undermined the entire education system all over the world. This left us in the last days with two major power blocks set up for control of the world and about to be deployed so as to eliminate mankind (see 141D_2B). See also Conflict for Control of the Beast (141D_4).

The period of the final Mourning for Moses went from 1997 to 2027 (see No. 219). This was the final period to the end of the Age and the Millennium under Christ (see Nos 300 and 300B).

In the first half of the thirty years to 2012 we saw the Globalists seize control of all finances and then set up the system to have the Marxist Globalists with the Communist Hadithic Islamists to prepare to infiltrate the Western Democracies because of the weakness and socialist conditioning since WWII. They managed to do this, due to the invasion of East Germany, and the subsequent conditioning by the Soviets. In this way they also infiltrated France, Benelux and UK, and Ireland, Italy, East Europe and also Scandinavia. From the Muslim Insurgency in 2012 onwards the insurgents entered Europe by illegal immigration, facilitated by the Marxist Globalists in the political structures on both sides of the parliaments and the EU parliament system, and also in the US, AU, NZ and Canada. These illegals etc were military age men with very few women and no children to speak of, save in the US, where child trafficking was prolific, and also, it is being claimed, and reported, the papal system, where they are reportedly being trafficked for sex and child sacrifice. It is only now that the nations are seeing what has been done to them. They are now taking to the streets. Total insurrection will occur and, in some cases, civil war and then general war is inevitable as we see from Rev. 9 above. However, Scripture says they will not repent, even at the return of Messiah under the Vials of the Wrath of God.

It is not the aim of the demons to establish a permanent system of world control. There is no time left for them. They will all be rounded up and in the pit by 2030. Their aim is to now eliminate mankind in this final War of the End under the Empire of the Beast of the Ten Toes. Christ and the Host are coming, and their unfettered rule is up in end 2027, which is by end 25 March 2028. Over the Jubilee the Witnesses will begin to deal with the Law and the Testimony.

The Response of the King of the North

At present the European democracies are being inflamed by the conduct concerning the Islamists forces and the conduct of the Marxist Globalists all over Europe and UK, Ireland and Scandinavia. The US has reacted and Trump has been elected to take control of the US. Canada, AU and NZ are not as yet in open insurrection but that is occurring daily.

The Marxist Globalists planned to undermine Europe and the objective is to take over their culture and political systems in order to subjugate the religious systems in Europe and reduce their population and eliminate their religion in all areas and replace it with the final worship of the system of the Empire of the Beast. Islam was harnessed to invade Europe and the Western nations to destroy their ideology and beliefs.

The demons planned to develop these systems to effectively use the false religious systems of Trinitarian Christianity and Hadithic and Shia post revolution Islam to achieve the destruction and then use the relation of the North Powers to destroy Islam and enslave the Middle East and Africa in return.

The war mentioned in Dan. 11:44 will spread to encompass Eurasia and on into Asia involving the Subcontinent and then China and the entire Pacific.

Before that occurs the King of the South will erupt and the people will revolt against the Marxist Globalists entrenched by the WEF and the traitors on both sides of the parliaments in the western democracies. So also the people will clean out the socialist controls in the universities. The NATO forces will be forced to react and take control for their very survival.

No matter who takes control of the Empire of the Beast, either the Marxist Globalists, or the Nationalist democrats, the Demons will use both to complete the elimination of the other.

The final force that comes out of the North will seize the Middle East and destroy the Islamist systems. They will take over all of North Africa and the Middle East. They will place the NATO HQ from Gaza to Jerusalem and take over all of the Iranian proxies and occupy North Africa and control it all to Ethiopia, the Sudan and to Morocco. The eradication of Israel will be attempted but will not be allowed. Over the next five years we will see the conflict develop all over the Middle East but Jordan will survive and remain out of the Northern powers’ occupation basically by doing what it is told.

AU and Canada have betrayed the current state of Israel and their alliance by voting for the Palestinian state. However, this is tokenism for local Islamist support, as it will have no effect and it would be vetoed by the US in any case. Israel has now occupied Gaza and that will remain until NATO occupies the territory. Then WWIII will occur and the final Empire of the Beast will emerge from that conflict. All of that is expected to occur over 2025-2026.

We will then see the Beast take over and destroy the Trinitarian systems in Europe and the devastated population will then begin to be reorganised. We will deal with the Empire of the Beast under the Witnesses in another text.

By 2030 the world will be reorganised and the First Century Church Faith under the Law and the Testimony and the Temple Calendar will be reorganised, once again, under Christ and the Apostles of the First Resurrection, with only the Holy Seed of the Millennium left.
