The Daniel 11:22 War
This week, Israel supposedly attacked several Iranian hotspots in the Middle East, including targets in Iraq and Lebanon. Amos Harel, an Israeli military analyst, pointed out the obvious, saying, “There is definitely a more aggressive line now, even if Israel isn’t saying so officially.” He explained, “Part of it has to do with the increased Iranian efforts and part of it has to do with all the other considerations.” The other considerations are probably political. After all, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is running for reelection. Likewise, President Trump wants to neutralize the Iranian regime. While the United States engages in economic warfare, Israel is happy to act as the boots on the ground.
Meanwhile, devastated by economic sanctions, Iran is desperate for economic relief. Iran’s foreign minister met with Emmanuel Macron, the French president, at the G7. The Iranians are looking to Europe and even Asia for sanctions relief, but they have very little leverage. No one wants to risk losing access to the American market. For that reason, regime change in Iran is likely. Besides, despite their attempts to develop nuclear weapons, the Antichrist is going to conquer much of the Middle East and North Africa, including Iran. In the end times, Iran and other countries in the region won’t have nuclear weapons to defend themselves. In addition, Israel will be living in peace and prospering during the first half of the end times. This implies that Israel won’t be spending lots of money on defense and they won’t be worried about Iran.
When the Iranian regime is neutralized, the US will militarily withdraw from the Middle East. Israel and its Arab neighbors will be left in charge of the region. Russia’s influence in Syria’s reconstruction could become an issue. Given their military success with Iran, would Israel be emboldened to attack Russia in Syria?

Sheep/Goat nations
The globalists have been using fires in the Amazon to attack President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil. This week, President Trump came to his defense in a big way. First, he tweeted about a call he had with Bolsonaro, saying “Our future Trade prospects are very exciting and our relationship is strong, perhaps stronger than ever before. I told him if the United States can help with the Amazon Rainforest fires, we stand ready to assist!” Trump later added that Bolsonaro is “doing a great job for the people of Brazil” and that “He and his country have the full and complete support of the USA.”
It’s always nice to see the two largest Christian countries in the world get along. In fact, the US and Brazil are also home to some of the most committed believers in the world. In recent years, Brazil has seen a huge increase in its number of evangelical and charismatic Christians. For instance, just a few weeks ago, over three million evangelical Christians participated in the March for Jesus in São Paulo. Naturally, Jair Bolsonaro was in attendance. He told the audience, “You were decisive in helping change the destiny of Brazil.” He added, “It is very good to be among friends. And even better when they are friends with God in their hearts.” Amen!
Brazil is changing for the better. Having already opened a trade office in Jerusalem, expect Brazil to join the US in becoming a refuge for persecuted Christians and Jews in the end times. Glória a Deus!

Satanism
Is Pope Francis a socialist? Well, when accused of being a Marxist, the Pope admitted, “I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended.” Growing up in Argentina, the man formerly known as Jorge Bergoglio was mentored by a Marxist named Esther Ballestrino. He once remarked, “I owe a huge amount to that great woman.” He fondly remembered how she “often read Communist Party texts to me and gave them to me to read.”
This week, George Neumayr, author of The Political Pope: How Pope Francis Is Delighting the Liberal Left and Abandoning Conservatives, visited her grave. He observed Jesus “depicted as a communist martyr, crucified by militarists and greedy capitalists.” Since becoming Pope Francis, Bergoglio hasn’t visited his mentor’s blasphemous grave, but that’s not because he has renounced his Marxist upbringing. Quite the opposite, he hasn’t visited Argentina because many of his countrymen hate him and he doesn’t like the current center-right government. He doesn’t want to look bad and the Pope is fundamentally a political animal. The man once called “Machiavelli” by classmates, who had weekly psychoanalysis sessions in his forties and allowed two priests to be kidnapped by Argentina’s military dictatorship, has no real ideological convictions. In the words of Vladimir Lenin, one of socialism’s biggest proponents, “There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience.”
Whether it’s called socialism or communism, Marxism is a satanic system. It’s all about man going to war with God. Marxism has caused untold suffering and countless deaths wherever it has been implemented, because trying to undo God’s established order is suicidal. Why would Pope Francis claim to be a man of God yet refuse to denounce an ideology which seeks the enslavement of mankind and the destruction of God’s institutions? Like Satan, Francis is a revolutionary, corrupted by pride and the lust for power. Ideology has never really mattered to Francis; he only cares about power. He will do whatever it takes to get it.

London = Babylon the Great?
President Trump and Prime Minister Boris Johnson had fun at the G7. Trump stated that Boris will be a great prime minister and revealed, “We’re going to do a very big trade deal – bigger than we’ve ever had with the UK.” This deal would require Britain to finally leave the European Union, which increasingly looks unavoidable. A few days ago, the Queen approved Johnson’s request to suspend the UK Parliament. With less time before the October 31st deadline, it will be very difficult for the British establishment to stop a no-deal Brexit. A trade deal between the UK and the US could then happen.
Indeed, it’s possible that a deal would be partially implemented on November 1st, the day after the UK leaves the EU. In a previous roundup, a likely scenario was discussed. On October 31st, the UK leaves the European Union without a deal, a so-called no-deal Brexit. The following day, a trade deal with the US is announced. This deal includes tariff-free trade between the UK and the US. European companies would begin flocking to the UK to get tariff-free access to the US market and US companies would have tariff-free access to the EU by shipping to the UK. A deal like this would turn the UK into Europe’s biggest economy again and reestablish London as the world’s trading hub. Fittingly, Revelation 18:11-20 describes Babylon the Great in the same manner.
