The Daniel 11:22 War
According to the newly-formed Arab Council for Regional Integration, it’s time for Arab nations to pursue stronger ties with Israel. Obviously, this means no more boycotts. That said, the cooperation won’t just be economic. A few weeks back, it was reported that Israel was working on a non-aggression pact with several Gulf states. The Times of Israel reported that the pact intended to “put an end to the state of conflict between the Gulf states and Israel, and reportedly provides for friendly relations, cooperation in a variety of fields, and no war or incitement against each other.”
Over the past few years, Israel and their Arab neighbors have grown closer, mainly because all parties oppose Iranian attempts to dominate the region. Several months ago, a top Saudi diplomat said, “For us the Saudis, as well as for all the Gulf states, Egypt and Jordan, it is clear that the age of war with Israel has ended and that normalizing relations will only benefit us.” Shortly afterward, Bahrain’s foreign minister publicly acknowledged that “we do believe that Israel is a country to stay, and we want better relations with it, and we want peace with it.” This emerging cooperation is significant, because Israel and the Gulf states will eventually join forces to attack the Antichrist in Syria, the Daniel 11:22 War.

Sheep/Goat nations
Without question, the country which has benefited the most from the European Union has been Germany. The Germans themselves freely admit it. Earlier this year, the German Centre for European Policy (CEP) released a report which showed that the German economy “has gained by far the most from the introduction of the euro.” Other European nations, notably France and Italy, have suffered. Oddly enough, Spiegel Online pointed out, “Despite spending decades after World War II as the greatest beneficiary of the European idea, slowly shedding its pariah status, Germany is now extremely focused on its own interests.” What gives? Simply put, the EU is destined for a makeover, thanks to President Trump and Brexit.
Indeed, once the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, the United States will sign a free trade agreement with the British. The US will then begin restricting the EU’s access to its market. Likewise, the US is no longer providing free military protection through NATO. The combination of American tariffs and defense expenditures will mean Europe won’t be able to afford its nationalized health care and welfare. Their model was only sustainable through a wealth transfer from America’s middle class. That’s not going to happen anymore. The money is going to run out, and when it does, Europeans are going to look for solutions. Like it was before the US became the world’s policeman, wars for resources and territorial expansion are likely.
Fearing exactly this outcome, Spiegel Online also noted, “The grand argument in favor of the EU back then was that it meant overcoming European animosities. Today, it is about maintaining the Continent as a center of liberal democracy.” In a world without Americans keeping the peace, European animosities will reemerge and liberal democracy will fade away. Likewise, Russia will reassert itself in European affairs. Indeed, the Germans are already embracing Russia’s Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline. It’s just the beginning.
Satanism
Satanism is a lot more common than people think. In Europe, secular right-wingers are turning to paganism and occultism. Not to be outdone, American leftists have fully embraced occultism. In Latin America, Santería and related practices continue to be commonplace. Earlier this year, Mexican authorities found 42 human skulls “at an altar in a drug gang hideout.” Well, in late November, a sheep was stabbed to death and marked with satanic symbols in the New Forest, an area in England. It wasn’t the only animal found with stab wounds. In a seemingly related incident, satanic symbols were sprayed on the door of a local church. Reverend David Bacon remarked, “It could just be kids, but I don’t think it is, given the context.” He added, “There’s been witchcraft round here for hundreds of years – the New Forest is well known for witchcraft and black magic happening, and this has obviously gone up a level.” Local resident Tony Hockley commented, “The New Forest, like many rural areas, has a historical association with witchcraft so that draws some people and some of the local shops trade on that but it’s normally more about fairies.” It might be a good idea for the local shops to stop catering to the demonic. Just a thought.
London = Babylon the Great?
In the long run, if London is Babylon the Great, it’s going to be attacked by the Antichrist and eventually destroyed by the Lord. Well, an important characteristic of Babylon the Great is that it will have a substantial Jewish population. In his vision, John heard a voice from heaven say, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues.” This warning is nearly identical to one the Lord gave to the Jewish people when they were exiled in Babylon. Despite a rocky history, to this day London has a lot of Jews. Although they tend to vote Labour, many of them believe Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is antisemitic. Consequently, the United Kingdom’s upcoming general election is a difficult choice for Britain’s Jews. Wisely, many of them are going to vote for the Conservatives. This will ensure that Brexit happens, which is ultimately better for the UK anyway. Still, in the long run, British Jews should consider relocating.
That’s all for this week! Thanks for reading and Godspeed!
