The Daniel 11:22 War
Things in Syria are heating up. For starters, a few weeks back, Turkish forces responded to the death of five of its soldiers by attacking “115 Syrian government targets.” Predictably, Russia is whining about Turkey’s escalation, saying, “the presence of Turkish troops and armor in Syria’s Idlib region was making the situation there much worse.” The Syrians promised to “respond to attacks by Turkish forces who it said were trying to halt army advances in the last rebel bastion in northwest Syria.” What a mess.
Contrary to popular belief, the American withdrawal from Syria was the worst thing that could’ve happened to Russia. In a single moment, President Trump gave Russia its biggest foreign policy headache since Afghanistan. For hundreds of years, the Iranians, the Turks and the Russians have been warring against each other in the Middle East and the Caucasus. With the United States out of the picture, there’s no longer a common enemy for them to rally around. The truce is over.
At some point, to protect its only Middle Eastern client state, Russia will have to attack Turkey. The Russians have all the leverage, considering they supply most of Turkey’s natural gas. That said, they just recently sold a missile system to Turkey and the Turks have embraced Russia’s TurkStream pipeline project. It’s an awkward situation, all courtesy of President Trump. Although he’ll probably never get credit for it, he has forced Russia to solve the bloody, expensive battle for influence in Syria. It won’t be an easy victory. When they win, what will Israel and the Arab states do?
Sheep/Goat nations
Now that the United States is an exporter of oil and natural gas, the world is going to get a lot uglier in a hurry. An energy-independent America simply has no reason to keep the peace anymore. No doubt, Germany is going to be one of the biggest casualties. Recently, Reuters reported, “Germany’s export-dependent manufacturers are struggling with sluggish demand from abroad as well as business uncertainty linked to trade disputes and Britain’s decision to leave the European Union.” That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
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 not just Europe. According to the International Monetary Fund, “Gulf Arab states — some of the world’s richest countries — could see their financial wealth depleted in the next 15 years amid lower hydrocarbon revenues.”
This explains why Saudi Arabia is radically reforming. The Saudis need foreign investment, which they’re only going to get if they move away from hardline Islam.
The world is dramatically changing and it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Buckle up.
Satanism
People have always been fascinated with the concept of selling your soul. The thing is, it’s more than just a concept. It’s real. A little while back, popular French artist Maître Gims released a music video which shows him “signing a contract by blood” and becoming a slave of the satanic elite which rules the music industry. It wasn’t a joke. While the video showed the temporary success of such an arrangement, it also showed the dark side. Without question, trades, dedications and covenants made with evil spirits for personal gain will invite demonic affliction. These contracts and transactions must be cancelled immediately in the name of Jesus. To do this, view the following resource: Dealing with generational curses

London = Babylon the Great?
Babylon the Great is a port city with arguably the most important economy in the world. It is the financial center of the world’s economy and a global trading hub. Traders will make a great deal of money from selling their ship’s cargoes in the city. Indeed, when Babylon the Great is judged, the ship captains and sailors will weep, watching from a distance at the smoke rising from the city.
Well, London’s location on a deep-sea water port has always been strategic. In the next few years, it’s going to become even more important. The United Kingdom intends to launch various freeports that will begin operating in 2021. Freeports are zones where imported goods are processed without having to pay customs duties. According to Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Rishi Sunak, “Freeports will unleash the potential in our proud historic ports, boosting and regenerating communities across the UK.” He added, “They will attract new businesses, spreading jobs, investment and opportunity to towns and cities up and down the country.” If London is Babylon the Great, expect exactly that.
That’s all for this week! Thanks for reading and Godspeed!
