The Daniel 11:22 War
No doubt, the post-war reconstruction of Syria will be the real cause of the Daniel 11:22 War. Case in point, the Syrian Constitutional Committee has been a colossal failure. According to Reuters, “The Syrian government and opposition co-chairs were unable to agree on an agenda for the constitutional talks.” That’s not a good sign. To make matters worse, Lebanon’s recent financial crisis has hammered Syria’s already weak economy. Well, Syria’s reconstruction can’t get off the ground without significant foreign investment. Where will the money come from to rebuild Syria? Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council have the capital to rebuild Syria, a fellow Arab country, but would they would work with Assad? It’s tough to say, but money talks. In any case, the Arabs and the Israelis are going to want a say in what happens in their neighborhood. If Russia tries to dominate post-war Syria, things will get ugly.
Sheep/Goat nations
French President Emmanuel Macron loves to talk trash about NATO. His latest complaint was about determining who NATO’s common enemy is. He explained, “Sometimes I hear some saying that it is Russia or China, our enemy” but he wants to “clarify our relationship with Russia.” He added, “We want a lucid, robust, and demanding dialogue with Russia.” Curiously, Macron wasn’t accused of Russian collusion. Setting the mainstream media’s double standard aside, Macron’s comments about Russia are entirely predictable. After all, France is going to take part in the Antichrist’s invasion of Jerusalem in the end times, prophesied in Ezekiel 38. How do we know?
For starters, there are eight participants in the Ezekiel 38 invasion. Except Persia, these names come from direct descendants of Noah in Genesis 10. In other words, God named the ethnicities that would take part, with one exception, not the specific geographic locations. This is important because some of these people groups have moved since Ezekiel’s day and this prophecy will be fulfilled at the time of the end. What matters is where these people groups are today. Gomer is one of the participants. Gomer was a son of Japheth. According to some of the best research on the matter, his descendants mainly settled in modern France.* Gaul, one of the historic names for France, is a reflection of Gomer’s people having settled there. All told, don’t be surprised by France’s movement toward Russia.

Satanism
The False Prophet looks like a lamb but speaks like a dragon, meaning he comes in Christ’s name but speaks the words of Satan. He “performs great signs” which deceive people. He tells everyone to “make an image to the beast” and he then gives “breath to the image of the beast” so that the image itself can speak and kill those who don’t worship it. That’s some disturbing stuff. On top of that, the False Prophet makes people get “a mark on their right hand or on their forehead” so that “no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark.” Put differently, the False Prophet isn’t just a religious figure. He’s also very involved in the Antichrist’s Mark of the Beast financial system.
With this in mind, it was interesting to find out that there is “a Vatican investigation underway into the allegedly fraudulent use of the Peter’s Pence, the pope’s charity fund, to buy a luxury property in central London.” Of course, London is the money-laundering capital of the world. Since the height of the Soviet Union, Russian elites have laundered money in London. Things haven’t changed. Often, London real estate is how the money is laundered. For example, the Bishops Avenue in London, called Billionaires Row, has luxurious homes which are owned by “shell corporations registered in foreign tax havens.” Apparently, the Vatican has decided to get in on the action.
At the beginning of the end times, Babylon the Great is the dominant global power. The cosmopolitan, international city, known for its extravagant wealth, is going to be an economic powerhouse and a financial center. Consequently, it will rule “over the kings of the earth.” This creates resentment and allows the Antichrist, who will be the ruler of Russia at the time of the end, to lead a coalition of ten rulers that destroys Babylon the Great. After he destroys Babylon the Great, the Antichrist creates his own financial system: the mark of the beast.

London = Babylon the Great?
At one time, Britain had the biggest empire in world history. To this day, the British have various overseas possessions. They don’t give them up without a fight. After the Falklands War, you’d think people would get the hint. They haven’t. A few weeks ago, the UK refused to give the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, despite an order by the United Nations. In addition to the UK, only five other countries opposed the measure: Australia, Hungary, Israel, the Maldives and the United States. That’s right, the UN voted overwhelmingly to force the UK to end its so-called occupation of the island. Regardless, the UK is keeping the islands, which is an amusing demonstration of the UN’s impotence. It also highlights the British mindset. If anything, with Brexit, the British are likely to expand their holdings in the next few years. In search of resources, new trading partners and different supply chains, British imperialism is going to make a comeback. Instead of the British Empire, however, it’ll be called the Commonwealth of Nations.
That’s all for this week! Thanks for reading and Godspeed!
