The Daniel 11:22 War
Russia isn’t leaving Syria anytime soon. There’s a reason that 24,000 Syrian students are learning Russian, “in order to travel to Russia or work in Russian companies they expect to appear in Syria in the future.” It’s also why Syria’s parliament “ratified a bill handing management of the country’s largest port to a Russian firm for 49 years.” Recently, Putin “ordered Russia’s defense and foreign ministries to hold talks with Syria for Moscow to obtain additional facilities and maritime access in Syria.” The Russians are getting quite comfortable in Syria.
In fact, according to The Times of Israel, “Russia is considering a slew of major commercial projects in Syria.” Reportedly, Russia plans on spending millions of dollars to modernize the port of Tartus. In addition, the Russians envision building “a railway across Syria and Iraq that will link Syria’s Mediterranean coast with the Persian Gulf.” That’s a significant project, one which would cement Russia’s status not only in Syria, but in the Middle East at large. It’s difficult to see Israel and many of their Arab neighbors embracing Russia’s plans to camp out in their backyard. More and more, it’s looking like the post-war reconstruction of Syria will set the stage for the Daniel 11:22 War.
Sheep/Goat nations
With an energy-independent United States gradually withdrawing from global affairs, the next several years are going to be a mad scramble for resources and influence amongst the world’s regional powers. Without unrestricted access to the American market and without the US Navy to guarantee the safety of international shipping, get ready for a more chaotic world, in particular a more chaotic Middle East. It’s going to happen sooner than people realize.
In late May, President Trump tweeted, “We are acting as a police force, not the fighting force that we are, in Afghanistan. After 19 years, it is time for them to police their own Country. Bring our soldiers back home but closely watch what is going on and strike with a thunder like never before, if necessary!” As Military Times pointed out, he “has issued similar public complaints about U.S. training and peacekeeping missions at various points throughout his presidency.” The US is done playing global policeman. For much of the world, things are about to get really ugly.
Satanism
The Wuhan virus panic legitimized widespread invasions of privacy by governments and private corporations. For example, Reuters reported, “Stores and workplaces eager to avoid spreading the novel coronavirus are equipping existing security cameras with artificial intelligence software that can track compliance with health guidelines including social distancing and mask-wearing.” Russia implemented a system to “trace citizens who are in contact with patients with new coronavirus infection on the basis of information from cellular operators about the geolocation of a cell phone of a particular person.” In Columbia, drones are detecting if people have a fever. If it finds someone with a fever, the drone “sends the location to a medical team that seeks out the person to determine if they have coronavirus symptoms.” On top of that, police officers in several countries are wearing “surveillance helmets to scan people for COVID-19 fever as they walk past.” Privacy is dead.
Just as a reminder, in Revelation 13:15, it says that the image of the beast will be able to speak and it will have the power to kill anyone that doesn’t worship it. That’s right, the image itself will able to kill. Like we’ve discussed, the technology for the Antichrist’s surveillance state is already here.

London = Babylon the Great?
Unsurprisingly, China has decided to strip Hong Kong of its autonomy. This effectively destroys one of the world’s financial centers. Capital outflows, which were already happening, will accelerate dramatically. Hong Kong’s financial services industry will be devastated. Where will the money go? Well, in the wake of China’s moves, the British government announced, “In respect of our historic and enduring relationship with Hong Kong and responsibilities towards British Nationals (Overseas), the UK Government today announced that if China follows through with its new national security law, the UK government will explore options to allow BN(O)s to apply for leave to stay in the UK, if eligible, for an extendable period of 12 months.”
Apparently, “As of 24 February 2020, there are 349,881 holders of BN(O) passports.” The British “estimate there are around 2.9m BN(O)s currently in Hong Kong.” In other words, London’s financial services industry will certainly benefit from Hong Kong’s destruction. This makes sense, considering Babylon the Great is the financial center of the world’s economy.
