The Daniel 11:22 War
After a second failed attempt at a governing coalition, Israel will have its “third consecutive national election in 11 months on March 2.” Why are Israelis so divided? Simply put, a decision must be made about the future of the “Haredi” population, ultra-orthodox Jews who don’t serve in the military and generally don’t work. Should these full-time Torah students be exempt from national service or not? Should they continue to receive government subsidies? Clearly, many secular Israelis are sick of subsidizing the ultra-Orthodox, the fastest growing segment of Israel’s population. For that reason, Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman refused to form a coalition with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party. With Netanyahu facing indictments for corruption, can the opposition finally unseat him?
If the leader of the Blue and White party, Benny Gantz, obtains a majority, he’ll likely steer Israel in a more secular direction. Expect religious Jews to cling even more tightly to their religious traditions. Could this explain the devout 144,000 Jewish men who are protected by God during the end times? That said, don’t expect Israeli foreign policy to change. The most important parties in Israel, Likud, Blue and White and Yisrael Beiteinu, are pro-Zionist and view Iran as an enemy. Whoever wins will have no problem engaging in military confrontation in the region, including in Syria.

Sheep/Goat nations
It’s been a wild few weeks in India. The government introduced legislation which allows “Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians who have entered India illegally” to “apply for citizenship if they can prove they originate from Muslim-majority Pakistan, Bangladesh or Afghanistan.” The bill has triggered widespread protests, probably because it could lead to the deportation of thousands of Muslims. According to Reuters, the “passage of the bill was a key election promise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, re-energizing his nationalist, Hindu support base.” Of course, a few months ago, India stripped Kashmir of its autonomy to end separatist sentiment. Kashmir used to be the only state in India with a Muslim-majority population.
Over the past several years, Hindu nationalism has been on the rise in India. Other religions are viewed as a threat. India is known for religious violence, including the anti-Christian violence in Odisha in 2008 and the anti-Muslim killing in Gujarat in 2002. Now, this new bill gives persecuted Christians refuge, which is excellent news. Likewise, under Narendra Modi, India has had a very good relationship with Israel. The embrace of Christian refugees and Israel make India seem like a sheep nation. Unfortunately, Hindu nationalists continue to persecute Christians and Muslims. Ultimately, the Antichrist is going to conquer a lot of Muslim countries. Will this make India more likely to align with him? Are they represented by the kings of the east? Time will tell.
Satanism
Recently, occultist John Michael Greer told one of his readers that pornography is demonic. He gave the reader some advice for dealing with it, but it won’t work. Demons can only be cast out by Christians and only by a forceful command in the name of Jesus. Regardless, it’s always interesting when pagan spiritual leaders admit that evil spirits exist and acknowledge that pornography is an open door for demonic activity. On one occasion, Jesus Himself explained, “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.” What we look at and what we listen to can allow evil spirits into our lives. Pornography itself is an open door for spirits of lust, unclean spirits, foul spirits and other demons of that sort. Don’t be deceived.

London = Babylon the Great?
Due to an overwhelming victory in the December elections, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to lead the United Kingdom out of the European Union. Despite the fear-mongering of the satanic, globalist elite, it’s going to be a profitable move for the British people. As only he can, President Trump tweeted, “Congratulations to Boris Johnson on his great WIN! Britain and the United States will now be free to strike a massive new Trade Deal after BREXIT. This deal has the potential to be far bigger and more lucrative than any deal that could be made with the E.U. Celebrate Boris!” It’s definitely time to celebrate.
For quite some time, the United States has planned on negotiating a free trade agreement with the UK, likely with tariff-free movement of goods both ways. In such an arrangement, European companies would flock to the UK to get tariff-free access to the US market. Likewise, US companies would have tariff-free access to the EU by shipping to the UK. On top of that, former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott is in favor of the UK signing a free trade agreement with Australia, with movement of goods “absolutely free of tariffs or quotas.” Current Primer Minister Scott Morrison agrees. After Johnson’s victory, Morrison said, “The sooner we can get a new relationship with the UK post-Brexit, the better.” True free trade agreements with the US and Australia would turn the UK into Europe’s biggest economy again. It would also reestablish London as the world’s trading hub. Revelation 18:11-20 describes Babylon the Great in exactly the same way.
