The Daniel 11:22 War
Oman has been freaking about the risk of a military confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz, mainly because of “the growing number of military vessels from different countries that are guarding it.” In such an environment, having a safe energy supply chain is critical. Israel stands to gain a lot from any chaos in the Gulf. In early January, Greece, Cyprus and Israel signed an agreement to build the EastMed pipeline, which will take natural gas from the eastern Mediterranean to Europe. The United States publicly supports the EastMed pipeline from Israel, through Cyprus to Greece and Italy.
Clearly, the eastern Mediterranean natural gas boom is going to turn countries like Israel, Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Egypt into significant players in the energy market. This new arrangement will turn the world’s energy markets upside down and it could explain why the Antichrist invades Jerusalem during the end times to take plunder. In light of this, it’s important to keep an eye on Russia’s attempts to get a piece of the eastern Mediterranean energy boom. Fittingly, they’ve already announced their intention “to create a free trade area involving Israel and Egypt.” Of course, besides Babylon the Great, Egypt and Israel are arguably the Antichrist’s biggest state rivals in the end times.
Sheep/Goat nations
The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, made some interesting and rather desperate comments a few weeks back. The biggest highlight came when he stated, “Europe has to develop an appetite for power.” He explained that President Trump’s America First agenda is hurting Europe. This is undoubtedly true, but there’s nothing Europe can do to stop it. In fact, around the same time, the United States “said it would increase tariffs on aircraft imported from the European Union to 15% from 10%.”
The US is done being the world’s policeman. After all, the US is the world leader in consumption and production of natural gas. Likewise, we’re on track to “become one of the world’s top gas exporters by 2020.” Just recently, the US became a net exporter of oil. We’re energy independent and the world’s destination market. We don’t need to defend global shipping anymore and no one is crazy enough to take us on, so our taxes don’t need to pay for Europe’s defense anymore. Tariff-free access to our market, which hurt our exports and crushed our industries, is also a thing of the past.
With the United Kingdom gone, low birth rates and an America no longer willing to be taken advantage of, Europe is in serious trouble. The money is going to run out. 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
Define creepy. Recently, a South Korean TV show used virtual reality to reunite “a grieving mother with her dead seven-year-old daughter.” The show gives each participant “touch-sensitive gloves and a virtual reality headset where they can see, feel and even hear those they have lost.” Needless to say, the potential for abuse with this technology is enormous. Already, satanic performing artist Marina Abramović, known for spirit cooking, is creating mixed-reality art using Microsoft HoloLens 2 headsets. According to Observer, what sets the exhibition apart is that “the surrounding gallery space and visitors will remain visible while you engage with the art—Microsoft’s tech simply allows Abramović to appear.”
Last year, Wired asked “Will Artificial Intelligence Enhance or Hack Humanity?” In response, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari said that once you link to AI, “what you get is the ability to hack humans.” He explained that hacking, in this context, refers to creating “an algorithm that understands me better than I understand myself, and can therefore manipulate me, enhance me, or replace me.” Let’s be real. The concept of hacking humanity isn’t all that different from demonic possession. In fact, demons don’t just possess humans. They can possess animals and apparently even some inanimate objects, such as idols. Why wouldn’t they be able to possess artificial intelligence? Or, in today’s modern technological terms, why wouldn’t demons be able to hack AI?
What if a demon “hacked” the algorithm? 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. Does that sound like some sort of demonic-AI hybrid? Or will people simply wear a virtual reality headset to worship the image of the beast? It’s tough to predict, but one thing is for sure: the technology of the end times is already here.
London = Babylon the Great?
In mid-February, Vatican police raided the office of a Catholic Church official as a part of their investigation “into the purchase of luxury London real estate.” The Vatican has been looking into the purchase, which used Church funds, for quite some time. That said, “Pope Francis and other Vatican officials have defended using Church money for real estate investments.”
Of course, London is renowned for laundering money, allowing international criminals to spend huge amounts of dirty cash. 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.” Well, 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.
Here’s the deal. 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.
That’s all for this week! Thanks for reading and Godspeed!
