"In our previous article, we explored the possibility that while we understand that the coming world leader, whom we commonly call “the Antichrist,” is predicted to come from the Roman Empire, we tend to be myopic regarding the extent of this designation: we tend to equate the Roman Empire with Western Europe, ignoring the eastern leg of this empire, which outlasted the western leg by a thousand years!"
"If we carefully examine the many references in the Old Testament, we discover a surprising number of allusions to this dominant personage as
We got 900 long term deployed US soldiers in Syria.
Approx 1100 others are on shorter term,
temporary assignments
for a total of 2000
US troops in Syria.
"American military says
up to 7,000 detainees
linked to jihadist group
could be moved."
(The optimum word
in that sentence
would be
"COULD."
Aint never gonna fuckin happen.
And people have no idea
just how big these facilities are.
You have young men coming of age now
That have lived the majority of their lives here.
Wondering why they were there to start with.
Think they aint gonna be radicalized?
"The US military
began moving Isis detainees
from north-east Syria
to Iraq
(Again
From the Missler piece above:
"If we carefully examine the many references in the Old Testament, we discover a surprising number of allusions to this dominant personage as
“the Assyrian.”
This would seem to focus
on the region
that we know today
as Syria and Iraq.
With the current world tensions
over that very region,
it seems quite timely
to re-examine some of our perspectives
regarding the potential role of that region
in the climactic Biblical scenario!")
"...after a chaotic transfer of control in prisons during fighting between Kurdish and Syrian government forces allowed dozens of militants to escape.
"US Central Command (Centcom) said it had transferred 150 Isis fighters from a detention facility in Hasakeh to “a secure location in Iraq”. It added that
up to 7,000 Isis detainees
could be moved
under the programme."
(I got news for ya.
Centcom bough to be busy with
Oh IDK...Iran
Ya think?
Fighter squadron
and Carrier Strike Group
headed that way and all.
Transferring ISIS prisoners
aint exactly gonna be
on their priority list.
And 2000 troops?
Gonna move 40,000 people?
Thats a whole fuckin city.
A lil smaller than Owensboro
just right down the road a bit.
Hardened terrorist
and their families?
2000 troops.
In the middle of engaging with Iran?
Kinda seems like the plan to me
cause that aint never gonna happen.)
“Facilitating the orderly and secure transfer of Isis detainees is critical to preventing a breakout that would pose a direct threat to the United States and regional security,” said Centcom commander Brad Cooper.
(Hey Brad.
It already aint been orderly.
And there he is
him and his wife
with his buddy
Mr.
"I founded ISIS in Syria
you dipshit."
Al-julani
and his wife.
"This week’s escapes raised fears of hardened fighters from the notoriously violent militant group running loose amid an already fragile security situation in Syria."
(They aint gonna run loose.
They join back with their founder.
Duh.)
"The US began transferring the detainees as Syrian government forces sought to take over a sprawling camp holding families linked to Isis prisoners.
(These camps are just massive.)
"The facilities had been run for years by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, which held a semi-autonomous territory in the north-east and were the US’s main allies in the fight against Isis during the civil war."
"Centcom said Cooper had discussed the transfer operation to Iraq in a call with Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa, adding
he expected
Syrian forces and others
(Who?)
to
“avoid any actions
that could interfere”.
(See above comment about
"Dipshit."
Al julani already had an agreement in place
for the transfer of control of the camps.
HE VIOLATED IT
(Like he does everything)
LEADING TO WHERE WE ARE NOW
RIGHT NOW!
So how is that not:
"INTERFERING"
there Brad?
IT JUST BOGGLES MY MIND.
AND ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE
JUST WILL NOT ACCEPT
WHAT IS GOING ON
IN THEIR WORLD
AND WHY THINGS
HAVE TO BE THE WAY
THEY ARE.)
"Government troops were pictured at the gates of al-Hol camp, one of the most significant of the camps and detention centres, home to about 24,000 people, according to the UN, including many women and children."
(Just move that somewhere.
Have fun.
ITS A PROBLEM
STICKING 24,000 PEOPLE
ANYWHERE!
Let alone on short notice.
INFRASTRUCTURE
IS A LIL BIT OF A PROBLEM YO.
That is 2.5 x the entire population
of the county I used to reside in.
You dont just pick up and go,
shit has to be in place
to be able to handle it.
THAST WHY THIS IS A FARIYTALE.
In a few days
you wont even be hearing
about it anymore
is how it seems to go,
with AI running the web and
all the internet devices etc.
these days.)
"A camp administrator said on Wednesday that Damascus’s forces had taken over after the SDF withdrew, with reports of detainees escaping amid the chaos."
(You really think
only 150 got out?
"The two sides traded blame for attacks that violated the deal, which would have prevented Syrian troops from moving deeper into Kurdish-held territory."
(Thats the same exact thing
Damascus said about the attacks
on the Alwites and the Druze.
Same exact thing.
Seems like somebody at Centcom
would have enough brains to recognize it
for what it is.)
"Centcom said its commander had also discussed with Sharaa the “importance of Syrian government forces adhering to a ceasefire” with the SDF.
(Oh you mean like
the original deal
they had
for the transfer of the prisons
and the reintegration
of the Kurds into the Central government
and armed forces?
You know
the one they tore to shreds
when they started this mess?
IF ALJUALNI DIDNT ADHERE
TO THE ORIGINAL DEAL
WHAT MAKES THIS GROUP
OF BRAINIACS THINK
THEY ARE GOONA
"ADHERE"
TO THIS CEASE FIRE?
THE ENTIRE WOLD
HAS JUST LOST IT MIND.
IT REALLY HAS.)
"Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan — a Damascus ally whose government has long fought Kurdish separatists — welcomed the dealand called on the Kurdish group to lay down its weapons and disband."
"U.S.-allied forces guarding prisons holding thousands of Islamic State group militants in northeastern Syria said Monday that they had lost control of one of the facilities after fighting broke out with fighters loyal to the government in Damascus.
"Aaron Zelin: Jolani was originally a foreign fighter in the Iraq War. He went from Syria to Iraq and joined up with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and [his organization] al Qaeda in Iraq. He spent some time in the infamous Camp Bucca prison. And then he became the emir or leader of the Nineveh region in western Iraq for the Islamic State of Iraq, which was essentially the predecessor group to what we now call the Islamic State."
"...he became the emir or leader of the Nineveh region in western Iraq for the Islamic State of Iraq, which was essentially the predecessor group to what we now call the Islamic State."
"For years, al-Sharaa was the leader of the official branch of al-Qaeda in Syria. He first joined the organisation in Iraq and spent five years in US prisons. Later, al-Sharaa founded the al-Nusra organisation in Syria, affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
"Syria’s interior ministry said it tracked down 80 prisoners who had escaped from al-Shaddadi prison, which houses Isis militants, on Tuesday. Another 40 remained at large."
(Those numbers
are just way to small
for a facility that big
in that kinda chaos.
Interesting #'s to BTW.
80 and 40.)
"An SDF spokesperson, Hassan Mohammed Ali, said the Kurdish group had lost control of three of about 12 detention centres it ran. The centres in total had once housed 10,000 people, alongside thousands more in camps."
(The detention centers are the prisons.
The camps are the wives, children and relatives.)
"Many had travelled from abroad to join Isis, including from Europe and north Africa, with their home countries declining to repatriate them after they were detained."
(Thats why they just put them
right over the border in Iraq yo.
"Repatriated them!
Nothing to see here.
Carry on."
Horse shit
Moving the problem
from one area to another don't solve shit.
Lets say they get every last one
of em moved to a camp in Iraq.
YOU THINK
THEY ARE JUST GONNA
STAY THERE?
AFTER ALL OF THIS?
TO GET EM OUT?
This is way worse
than what is being told.
And it was the plan
from a while ago.
Before that above?
When was the last time two
"Private Individuals"
had a meeting in the oval office?
Ya might just wanna
get yourself a clue.
And Id start here if I was you:
)
"Kurdish forces said on Tuesday they had been forced to abandon al-Hol, a separate facility, amid fighting with government forces."
(How do you just not see
that was the plan all along?)
"They said the international community
had failed to do enough
to deal with the Isis-linked detainees
during their years in captivity."
(That is 100% the case
And now the Kurds
get to suffer for
doing the world a favor
having defeated these guys
a lil while back.)
"Syria’s interior ministry said on Wednesday its forces were deploying around al-Hol and other detention centres and were searching for escaped prisoners."
(Yeah, to join up with the Syrian Army.
Duh.)
"It said it was taking steps
to secure al-Hol camp."
"Jihan Hanan,
co-chair of al-Hol’s administration,
said the SDF withdrawal
had left a “security vacuum”.
(One more time:
THAT WAS THE FUCKING PLAN!)
“Based on what I know
from my four years at the camp,
it would be difficult to impose control
in such a brief time
over this massive area,” she said.
("Those numbers
are just way to small
for a facility that big."
"This is way worse
than what is being told.")
"Hanan said it would be difficult to determine which of the thousands of detainees had escaped and to compel them to return."
"She said it was unclear who, if anyone, was providing food and water to the 23,000 people, mainly the wives and children of Isis prisoners, in the sealed camp."
"In our previous article, we explored the possibility that while we understand that the coming world leader, whom we commonly call “the Antichrist,” is predicted to come from the Roman Empire, we tend to be myopic regarding the extent of this designation: we tend to equate the Roman Empire with Western Europe, ignoring the eastern leg of this empire, which outlasted the western leg by a thousand years!"

"It is essential that we stand back from our presumptions and prejudices and listen carefully to what the Biblical text is telling us. We are living in exciting times, but we need to be diligent in our study of God’s Word. The only certain barrier to truth is the presumption that we already have it."

PART 2
30:30 history but moving on Daniel says I saw the ram pushing 30:35 Westward and northward and Southward so that no Beast might stand before him neither was there any that could deliver 30:42 out of his hand but he did according to his will and became great and as I was considering Behold a he goat came from 30:49 the West on the face of the whole earth and touched not the ground and the Goat 30:54 had a notable horn between his eyesso here's a goat moving so fast it doesn't even seem to be touching the ground 31:00 that's and if anything describes Alexander's career it's staggering young man that conquered within 11 years the 31:06 known worldbut his main defeat was defeat the Persians a notable horn31:12 that's D that's our friend Alexander and he came to the ram that had two horns which I had seen standing 31:17 before the river and ran into him with the fury of his power and I saw him come close into the RAM and he was moved with 31:23 collar against him and he smoked the RAM and break his two horns and there was no power in the Ram to stand before him and 31:2 he cast him down to the ground and stamped upon him and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his 31:36 hand therefore the he goat waxed very great
get this when he was strong the Great 31:43 Horn was brokenand for it came up four notable ones toward the Four Winds of 31:51 Heavenas a young man at you might regard at the peak of his career he dies his Capital was in Babylon 31:58 and as he's dying the legend has it that they ask him to whom does the Empire go he says give it to the 32:03 stronggreat way to settle a dispute but any case the four generals divided up32:10 and we're going to talk now about the little horn and Antiochus Epiphanesand out of one of them that's one of these four horns came forth a 32:18 little horn which waxed exceeding great toward the South and toward the East and toward the pleasant land the pleasant 32:24 land being an idiom of course for Israel and it waxed even to the host of heaven and cast down some of the host 32:30 and of the Stars to the ground and stamped upon them he magnified himself even to the 32:38 prince of the host and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away and the place of the sanctuary was cast 32:45 downnow up till now you can uh attribute most of what's being 32:50 said to Antiochus I 4th we call himself epiphanies who made reading the Torah a capital crime he forbid them to make 32:57offerings in in uh in in the temple in fact he slaughtered a sow on the golden Al33:04 on the Brazen altar if you understand how the Jews feel about pork and how they feel about the Brazen altar you can 33:09 imagine how that went overhe didn't stop there he erected an idol to the 33:14 Pagan God Zeus in the holy of holiesand that did it that incensed uh a Revolt 33:20 calledthe Maccabean revolt and and they threw off the the Yoke of that Empire 33:25 and were able to rededicate the temple that had been desecrated they celebrate that event to this very day in Hanukkah33:31 that's what the Jewish um celebration of Hanukkah is really all about but moving on the ram which thou sawest having two 33:38 horns are the kings of Mede Persia seewe skipped to verse 20 Daniel is interpreting this passage for you in his 33:44 writings the ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Mede and Persia the rough goat is the king of 33:50 Greece and the Great Horn that is between his eyes is the first king that's obviously 33:56 Alexander now that being broken whereas the four stood up for it four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation but not 34:03 in his power after Alexander's death what happens four generals divided up 34:09 Macedonian Greece Cassandra Asia Minor and Seleucus Syria and Babylon Ptolemy Egypt 34:14 Arabia and Syria Israel
although that was contested by Ptolemy
we're going to look carefully at both Seleucus and Ptolemy 34:21
because it unveils what's coming on our own Horizon
"VER. 15. The abomination of desolation. Cf. Dan. 9:27: 11:31; 12:11. In 1 Mach. 1:57 an application of the prophecy is found in the setting up by Antiochus Epiphanes of a statue of Jupiter Olympius in the temple of Jerusalem.
The prophecy will be fulfilled a second time
for Jerusalem but not necessarily in the same way.
St. Luke sees "the abomination of desolation" in the army which surrounded and destroyed Jerusalem."
In The second fulfillment of this prophecy,
it will be AN IMAGE (Idol) of a man
(Not an actual human,
but a soulless,
quantum computer powered,
AI humanoid
setting himself up
and deeming himself as worthy of worship
in/on a wing of Gods temple.
Same exact prophecy,
two different applications.
And like I have said previously?
It will be this guy:
)
says in the latter time of 34:54 their Kingdom when the transgressors are come to the full a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark 35:01 sentences shall stand up
most Scholars see
believe this is piercing Beyond
Antiochus Epiphanes
it's 35:08
looking to the last of the line
which will be the Antichrist
for a king of fierce 35:13 countenance and understanding dark sentences should stand up and his power shall be Mighty but not by his own power and he shall destroy wonderfully and he 35:19 shall prosper and practice and shall destroy the mighty and holy peopleand through his policy also he 35:26 shall cause craft to prosper in his hand and he shall magnify himself in his heart and by peace shall destroy 35:34 many wow by peace he shall destroy many 35:40 he shall also stand up against the prince of princes but he shall be broken without hand so
most Scholars recognize this as
35:47 an allusion
to the person we call the Antichrist
well let's take a look at Daniel 11 for what insights it will give 35:54 us the first two verses talk about the Persian Empire and uh I won't go through the the list 36:00 of these although there some very important people here not only Cyruswho's detailed in Daniel 5 and also Isaiah 45 there's a letter written to 36:06 him by name by God 150 years before he's born Xerxes1 one is probably the we 36:12 believe is the is the king of Esther the Book of Esther and Artaxerxes Lomgimanus is the one 36:18 that triggers the 70 week prophecy of Daniel he he gave Nehemiah the authority to rebuild the city but from verse three 36:26 and four we talk about Alexander the Great and that of course has been detailed for us in Daniel 8 for us and 36:32 that follows then the what follows after verse four are the the when the generals 36:37 divide the Empire and again we're going to focus on and the passage focuses on primarily Seleucus and 36:43 Ptolemy I won't take you through the details because we don't have time but first if you look through 5 through 35 you'll 36:50 discover that there's Kings of the South fighting the kings of the North and the details there fit history so precisely 36:58 that critics of the Bible have tried to argue that that Daniel must be a fraud must have been written after the fact 37:05 that overlooks the fact that
long before this list is over the entire Old Testament is translated into Greek so it 37:12 it's hard for someone to forge into an already translated and widely 37:18 distributed set of documents but that's that's obviously nonsense
but the Ptolemy's we go through six cycles of the 37:26 Ptolemy's
and we go through um eight cycles of the of the Seleucids
and 37:32 uh but the most notable one is the last oneAntiochus epiphanies because he's so prominent in u triggering the uh 37:39 rebellion in Israel so we'll leave it at that butfrom verse 36 on now we're 37:46 talking about Antiochus Epiphanes again but here again
the language will go far beyond Antiochus himself
let's take a look at 37:53 it verse 36 and the King shall do according to his will there's the willful King and he shall exalt himself 37:59 and magnify himself above every God and shall speak marvelous things against the god of gods and shall prosper till the 38:06 indignation be accomplished for that which is determined shall be done now 38:12
this can be applied sort of to Antiochus Epiphanes
but the language seems to go far beyond anything he did
neither shall 38:18 he regard the god of his fathers nor the desire of women nor regard any God for 38:23 he shall magnify himself above all and in his estate shall he honor the god of 38:29 forces and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold and silver and with precious stones and pleasant 38:35 things thus shall he do in the most strongholds with a strange God whom he 38:40 shall acknowledge and increase with glory and he shall cause them to rule over many and shall divide the land for 38:48 gain aand at the time of the end now at this point see from verse 38:54 36-40 you can sort of argue that maybe just ???? language talking about Antiochus Epiphanies but from verse 40 to the end 39:01 of the chapter it's clearly far beyond Antiochus Epiphaniesbut
he's using it's
as 39:06 if he's looking through him to the end time
and at the time of the end shall 39:12 the King of the South push at him and the King of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind with chariots and 39:18 with Horsemen and with many ships and he shall enter into the countries and shall overflow and pass over he shall also 39:24 enter into the Glorious land and many countries shall be overthrown but these shall Escape out of his hand 39:31 Edom and Moab and the chief children of Ammonboy that's a strange thing this 39:36 particular piece of ground which we today would call Jordan for some reason 39:41 eludes his grasp most Scholars speculate that it's to give the remnant place to flee to but 39:49 that's conjecture he shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries and the land of Egypt shall not escape and he 39:55 shall have power over the treasures of gold of silver and over all the precious things of Egypt and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps but 40:02 Tidings out of the East and out of the North shall trouble him that's kind of interesting 40:10 especially if you've been following world events and you understand the Shanghai pactwhere China and Russia have 40:16 joined forces against the United States by treaty joined by Central most of the players in Central Asiaand the that 40:23 when NATO had redefined itself as a global police force in 1999 that drove our that chilled not 40:29 only our enemies but also our our allies but China and Russia and most of central Asia signed the Shanghai packand
it's 40:36 interesting that the threat he sees here
"We must be very strong so that Israel can't do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them," Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling AK Party in his hometown of Rize.
)
"shall trouble him therefore he
40:42
shall go forth with great Fury to destroy and utterly to make many uh to make away many and he shall plant the 40:49 Tabernacles of his Palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain yet 40:55 and
it's interesting most recognize that must mean
between the Dead Sea and the 41:01 Mediterranean
and some Scholars speculate that may somehow involve the temple that's described in the last few 41:08 chapters of Ezekiel because that Temple is not in Jerusalemand uh so there are 41:15 speculations that about that that deserve some study he shall plant his Tabernacles of his Palace between the 41:21 seas in the glorious holy mountain yet he shall come to his end and None Shall help him 41:28 well it shift now and let's take a look at the Book of Revelation chapter 13 of course is the main passage of the 41:34 Antichrist in Book of Revelation
"he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon".
"speak" 1x)
the first two verses John says I stood up the sand of 41:40 the sea and I saw a beast rise up out of the sea having seven heads and 10 horns and upon his horns 10 crowns and 41:49 upon his heads the name of blasphemy and the Beast I saw was like 41:54 unto a leopard his feet was as the feet of a bear and his mouth as the mouth of a lion
and the dragon gave him his power 42:00
his seat and his great Authority
who's the dragon from from the previous chapter chapter 12 verse 9 it's identified of 42:06 course as none other than Satanbut there's something else that noteworthy here
you notice that there's a leopard a 42:12 bear and a lionthat echoes in our ears because we remember those are the principal idioms 42:17 used in Daniel chapter 7 The Lion was was Babylon the bear was 42:23 Persian the leopard was Greece
but you notice they're in the backward order here 42:29 see when Danielwhen Daniel was given the vision it was yet future John is Looking Backward in time42:36 so they're inverted interesting
but somehow this final Empire Bears marks of all its 42:43 three precedence and uh worthy of noteSatan has seven super 42:51 Kingdomsin Revelation 12:3 it says there appeared another Wonder in heaven Behold a great red dragon having seven 42:57 heads and 10 horns there it is againand seven crowns upon his headswhere on Earth do we get seven 43:06 Empires well you see we're familiar with Daniel's 4+ onebut Daniel wrote in the 43:12 days of Babylon prior to him there were two major Empires Egypt and 43:17 Assyriaand so if you take the two precedent if you start from the beginningthere's Egypt, Assyria then 43:23 Babylon Persia, Greece and Rome in two phasesand so uh and of course
Where Dr. Missler sees a confederation of Kingdoms coming from the old Roman empire,
I see our unaccountable tech bros which explains:
"without a kingdom"
as they are answerable to no one.
Dr. Missler doesn't hit on that point.)
"is well detailed in Daniel 2, 7 and 8 and we've looked at those passages nowdon't let these last 43:37 five confuse you because again it's it's Daniel's 4 plus one if you will Roman two phasesonce you understand that then 43:43 everything starts to make some sensehere and most Scholars recognize that the Roman Empire is as I say in two 43:50 phases what I'll call phase one and phase two well
now44:07 um this is pretty straightforward five are Fallen this is being penned by John 44:13 and behind him are five Empires Egypt Assyria Babylon Persian Greece that makes 44:19 sense there are seven Kingsfive are fallenand one is the one that's around 44:24 right then namely RomePaul was in Exile the island of Patmos when he was pinning this from from 44:30 home andthe other is not yet come..."
(The Ottoman Empire (Modern day Turkey) ruled Jerusalem
for approximately 400 years,
from 1516/1517 to 1917.)
"okay that's the seven
that's the uh 44:35 the
the last one
it's the phase two
of the of the of the of Rome if you will..."
(I disagree.
For some strange reason nowhere in Dr. Missler presentation are the Ottoman Turks who ruled over Jerusalem from the 14th century till early 20th century ever mentioned.
"We must be very strong so that Israel can't do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them," Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling AK Party in his hometown of Rize."
but it is Turkey that will be the representation of
"The Beast from the Abyss.
"okay the next verse 44:49 Revelation 17:11 and the Beast that was and is not even he is the eighth and is of the 44:55 seven and goeth into perdition what on Earth can that mean..."
"taken by itself it sounds like it's contradictory the Beast that was and is 45:06 not even he is the eighth and is of the seven and go into perditionthat passage 45:11 has puzzled Scholars for centuries..."
"one of the great mysteries of 45:54 Archaeology is that there were many many experts that didn't believe the story of 45:59 Jonah because they didn't believe there ever existed a city called Ninevehand it may astonish you to to 46:08 discover that they didn't know anything about it in an archeological sense until 46:14 the gold rush in California not that it had anything to do with it I just mentioned that should remember the date in46:211849 Layard was the committed person that made history by discovering 46:29 Nineveh..."
(You don't find more evidence supporting hoaxes
as you go through history.
What we find is evidence debunking them.
What we see with the Bible is just the opposite.
Every time we turn around we find more and more evidence
supporting it.
There weren't any Hittites
till they found there were.
There wasnt a King David.
Till we found out there was.
There wasnt A pool of Siloam
till we found out there was.
There wasnt a city call Nineveh
till we found out there was etc...)
"uh uh Alexander the Great 46:34 Napoleon many world conquerors walked over it not even knowing it was there because it was buried and Layard in 1849 46:42 discovered Ninevehand today it's well known of course it his Discovery ushered in a craze in archaeology uh in that 46:50 whole in that whole region but one of the mysteries about the Assyrian Empire is how it not only Rose to power 46:57 tremendously but it disappears so quickly without a trace Without a Trace..."
(Okay but at the time of John
writing the Book of Revelation
it had already been.
What we were looking for was:
"the other has not yet come"
Revelation 17:10
but did so later
in the form of the Ottoman Turks
who ruled over Jerusalem
from the 14th century till the early 20th.)
"47:02and so it's interesting that there are vestiges of all the rest of these out here Egypt's still around Babylon in 47:10 various forms has had different uh lives if you will Persia Greece Rome of course 47:16 all visible and so the speculation is that the the Beast that was and is not 47:21 even he's the eighth but he's of the seven and goeth into predition
(Again
How strange to me how the Ottoman Turks
always get omitted,
yet they ruled over "Palestine"
(including Jerusalem)
from the 1500's till the end of WW1.
And slaughtered over a million
Armenian Christians.
"Beast from the Abyss"
and it is Turkey we see today
as rising again in importance in Geo-political
and military affairs.)
"now you 47:27 say gee what on Earth is this leading to well let's take another look at a couple of other verses in the scriptureMicah 47:33 chap 5
has something to say about this he says in this one
this man shall 47:39 be the peace
I think he's speaking of Messiah
(Absolutely, 100% agree)
but here but then he goes in
when the Assyrian shall come
into our 47:44 land
(I strongly encourage you to read the following post:
47:51 and they shall waste the land of Assyria with a sword and the land of nimrod in the entrances thereof thus shall Deliver 47:57 Us from the Assyrian when he cometh into our land and we when he treadeth within 48:02 our borders the Assyrian the Assyria the 48:07 land of nimrodyou pick up that? What on Earth is Micah talking about and that's 48:13 what we're going to explore a little further but I want to not I want you to notice something in recent yearsin 1906 48:19 Iran became an independent republic from the old Roman Empire these previously 48:25 subsumed entities had reemerged 1921 Afghanistan 22 Egypt 22 Iraq 24 turkey 48:31 1930 Lebanon 1938 Syria 46 Jordan 47 Pakistanboth Jordan and Pakistan being 48:37 synthetic countries built to to appease the Muslims and 48 this nation Israel 48:44 it's interesting that in our recent history all the pieces have resurfaced perhaps to be recoalesced in this Final 48:51 Super Empire. Egypt of course was Ptolemy Seleucus were the rest of these Seleucus if 48:58 you talktalk turkey
"Aaron Zelin: Jolani was originally a foreign fighter in the Iraq War. He went from Syria to Iraq and joined up with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and [his organization] al Qaeda in Iraq. He spent some time in the infamous Camp Bucca prison. And then he became the emir or leader of the Nineveh region in western Iraq for the Islamic State of Iraq, which was essentially the predecessor group to what we now call the Islamic State."
"...he became the emir or leader of the Nineveh region in western Iraq for the Islamic State of Iraq, which was essentially the predecessor group to what we now call the Islamic State."
"For years, al-Sharaa was the leader of the official branch of al-Qaeda in Syria. He first joined the organisation in Iraqand spent five years in US prisons. Later, al-Sharaa founded the al-Nusra organisation in Syria, affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
"which 49:12 incidentally was
the place from which
the first world dictator 49:18 sprung
the first dictator Nimrod
and perhaps the last
will be an 49:24 echo of that"
(You can count on it.
We are witness to these things!
Why is nobody talking about it?)
"and we'll take a look at that in our next session Nimrod 2
the 49:31 11th King"
( Note:
Again, where Dr. Missler sees a confederation of kingdoms
the father of the LIE, Lawless one, man of sin, there's 50:24 many of these titles uh son of perdition, man of sin, are the ones I've mentioned are 50:29 the most common ones in the Old Testament there are 33 allusions as 50:34 listed by Arthur W. Pink as an example and I won't go through all of these in of time but there are a few that you 50:40 should be sensitive to
we're we're noticing
that the word Assyrian seems to be used
by Isaiah and Micah and Ezekiel
50:47and elsewhere uh as an idiom of this coming final world leaderZechariah 50:52 calls him the idol Shepherd Idol not Idle like lazy but Idol like false worshipthe idol Shepherd in fact it's 50:59 the only physical description we have of him in the Bible to my knowledge is in the last few verses of Zechariah 11we 51:06 saw him called the little horn in Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 in Daniel 9:26 he's 51:11 called the prince that shall comewe explored that you could even argue that in Genesis 3:15 he's the seed of the 51:18 serpentwe all know about the seed of the woman the seed of the serpent is the is the contrary seedand he's called the 51:24 willful King in Daniel 11and many other labels but um let's take a look at some 51:31 allusions that we find through the Old Testament I've just done a sampling here in Isaiah chapter 10 Isaiah says it will 51:38 come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel and such as are escaped of the House of Jacob shall no more again stay upon him that smote them 51:46 but shall stay upon the Lord the Holy One of Israel in Truth The Remnant shall return even the remnant of Jacob unto 51:52 the Mighty God
(Hosea 3:5
Afterward shall the children of Israel return,
and seek the Lord their God,
and David their king;
and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.
"Meaning the predicted representative
of the Davidic dynasty."
Ellicott's commentary for English readers
Put simply, Christ, whom was rejected.)
"and he goes on he says forth though thy people is shall be as the sand of the sea yet a remnant of 51:58 them shall return a consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness for the Lord God of hosts shall make a 52:04 consumption even determined in the midst of all the land andthen in the next verse it says therefore thus sayith the 52:09 Lord God of hosts oh my people that dwelleth in Zion be not afraid of the Assyrianhe shall smite thee with a rod 52:16 and shall lift up his staff against thee after the manner of Egypt and yet a very little while and the indignation shall 52:23 cease and mine anger in their destruction
there are a number of Old Testament passages which allude to the 52:28 Great Tribulation in terms of time of indignation
so that it's possible this could have other constructions it's 52:35 possible this is alluding to that when you get to Isaiah 14 that's familiar to 52:40 most of you diligent students of the scripture as a passage that speaks of the origin of Satan in Isaiah 14 52:47 starting about verse 12 it sayshow art thou fallen from Heaven oh Lucifer son of the morning how art thou cut down to 52:54 the ground which did weaken the Nations now
this is um piercing the local situation and 53:01 certainly has in focus a super leader we assume it's Lucifer himself
for thou H 53:08 has said in thine heart I will Ascend into heaven I will exalt my throne above the stars of God I will sit also upon 53:13 the Mount of congregation the sides of nor I will Ascend above the heights of the clouds I will be like the most high 53:20 and
this of course is the issue of Pride
that's one reason God hates Pride..."
because it's through Pride that sin 53:26 entered the creation
but then it goes on it says yetThou shalt be brought down to Hell
they 53:33 that see thee shall narrowly look upon the and consider the saying is this the man that made the Earth to tremble that 53:39 did Shake kingdoms that made the world as a Wilderness and destroyed the cities thereof
that opened not
the house of his prisoners
(Matthew 16:18
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock
I will build my church,
and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.
Needs referenced above as well
Footnotes
Matthew 16:18 The Greek words for Peter and rock sound similar
Matthew 16:18 Greek the gates of Hades
Peter aint the rock.
Peters faith
that Christ
was the rock
was what the church
was built on.
Church wasnt built on a man
but rather in the faith
in Mans creator
coming to earth as a man.
The Gates of hell wont tear it down
cause we have already been set free,
It's Satan's prisoners
in their own living hell
here on earth thinking this is heaven
is who the church:
"Fights from victory
(tearing down Satans prison walls)
Not "for victory".
The battle was already won on the cross.

"you quickly tell this raises a lot of interesting questions of Origins and what happened when did all this sort 53:53 of thing happenbut then notice what he says in the next verse that I will break the Assyrian in my 53:59 land and upon my mountains tread him underfoot then shall his yoke depart from off of them and his burden depart 54:06 from off their shouldersso again in this very famous passage very 54:11 foundational passage in Isaiah 14 we find the term Assyrian usednow some 54:18 commentators jump to the conclusion that it's probably just used there idiomatically because he's used as as 54:24 a s a general for the specific or specific for the general as a rhetorical device to speak of this evil leader 54:32 calling him The Assyrianuse it in in other words using it connotatively rather than denotatively but that's an assumption on the 54:39 commentators um and some people would say that this 54:44 passage refers to when the Assyrians were attacking the northern kingdom which indeed they did they took them 54:50 captive
but notice the next verse is
this is the purpose
that is purposed upon the whole Earth
54:56 and this is the the hand that is stretched out
upon all the nations
so the scope of this is hardly 55:04
focusing on the northern kingdom issue by Isaiah the scope of this is far far 55:11 far broader whatever it's talking about there's lots of possibilities but the term Assyrian here does catch our notice
55:17 let's take a quick look at Isaiah 30 and the Lord shall cause his glorious 55:22 voice to be heard and shall show the light lighting down of his arm with the indignation of his anger and with the 55:29 flame of a devouring fire with the scattering and Tempest and hailstones for through the voice of the 55:35 Lordshall the Assyrian be beaten down which smote with a rodthere it is again let's take a look 55:43 at Ezekiel Ezekiel has some strange stuff and I just take a couple of sample 55:48 verses here give saybehold the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with Fair branches and with a shadowing shroud and 55:54 of a high stature and his is among the thick boughsand the whole passage tends to use trees as idioms for soldiers or 56:02 leaders that happened several places again in the scriptures consistentremember in in Daniel chapter 4 that's 56:08 the chapter in the Bible that was written by Nebuchadnezzar himself it's his testimonybut there involves a 56:13 vision of a tree that was cut down referring to himself a leader so that's an idiom that is familiar to your ears 56:20 if you've studied your Old Testament but it goes on then a few verses later all the fowls of Heaven made their nests in his bows 56:27 if you remember the kingdom Parables of Matthew 13 that should echo in your ears because the the birds there were 56:34 the Ministers of Satanand under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young and under his shadow dwelt all the 56:40 great Nationsit goes on get down a few verses later and The Cedars of the garden of God could not hide him what on 56:47 Earth is he talking about garden of God the fur trees were not like his boughs the chestnut trees were not like his 56:52 branches nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his BeautyI have made him fair by the multitude of 56:59 his branches so that all the trees of Eden that were in the garden of God envied 57:06 himwait a minute what's he doing in the garden of God in the first place what's he doing in Edensee I made the Nations shake at the 57:14 sound of his fall when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit and all the trees of Eden the choice 57:20 and best of Lebanon all that drink water shall be comforted in the nether parts of the Earth Strange stuff and let's go 57:28 take another look at Micah 5 againthis man shall be the peace when the Assyrians shall come into our land when 57:33 he shall tread in our palaces then shall we raise against him Seven Shepherds and 57:38 eight principal men and they shall waste the land of Assyria with The Sword and the land of nimrod and the entrances 57:44 thereof thus shall he Deliver Us from the Assyrian when he cometh into our land when and when he treadeth within 57:50 our bordersthere it is all the storm about an Assyrian again see this and the land 57:56 of nimrod againso again all this Echoes back to the earliest 58:03 Empires and uh you remember Nimrod was the first world dictator he he built a 58:09 number of cities Babel bab Tower El God a tower to God and Accad and Erech and 58:16 Nineveh Sumer (Shinar) and Cahal and uh um it's interesting that we're talking about a 58:24 guy and a region that was the beginning of all civilization and uh his Capital was a 58:32 place called Babylonnow what's fascinating about this issue is there is another raging 58:39 controversy among conservative Bible scholars and that is
"and first of all you 58:51 need to understand there's some problems having to do with the Doom of Babylon is 58:56 described in the Bible you seeIsaiah 13 and Isaiah 14 and Jeremiah 50 and 59:04 51 detail the destruction of Babylonand among the phrases that occur 59:12 in those passages I'm sparing you going through it in detail because uh particularly Jeremiah passages are 59:17 somewhat lengthy we could spend a you could spend a full two hours just discussing the subtleties
but the main 59:23 points of those passages
in Isaiah 13- 14 and Jeremiah 50 and 51
include the fact 59:29 that it's going to be destroyed
in a very sudden catastrophic way..."
"...it will after destroyed 59:37 it will never again be inhabited both of them make that emphasis in fact not only will it not be 59:44 inhabited the building materials that make up the the city of Babylon will never again be 59:52 reusedthat's kind of strange maybe they're ionized who knows59:58 they're going to be destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrahboth Isaiah and Jeremiah use that very 1:00:04 phrase now we all recall Genesis 19 where God destroyed Sodom and 1:00:10 Gomorrah in a very catastrophic final deliberate way in the matter of 1:00:16 hoursand U it's kind of interesting to study Genesis 19 very carefully because 1:00:24
the two angels that go there aren't there just to do Lot of favor getting he and his family out if you 1:00:31 read the text carefully you'll discover that it was a prerequisite condition for the Judgment of those cities for them to 1:00:38 get out..."
The reference to plagues refers to the vials of chapter 16,
especially the seventh vial which falls upon Babylon itself (Revelation 16:17-21). This is further evidence that the event of chapter 18 is subsequent to the seventh vial and therefore in contrast to the destruction of the harlot in chapter 17.
Marrying your faith to a country
or a political parties ideology is simply wrong:
"Come out of her,
(the world,
the wicked world system)
my people"
Or you are going to suffer her plagues.)
"in fact the chapter before Abraham is negotiating with God what if there's 1:00:43 10 righteous and so on and U the principle that clearly comes through that passage of Genesis 18:19 is that the 1:00:51 righteous were removed before the Judgment interesting
(This has often been brought up
by people who hold a "pre-tribulation rapture" viewpoint.
as this is where the affairs of the day were carried out.)
His wife.
And he still had
a difficult path ahead of him
to soldier on
to somewhere else
and start all over.
Sounds fun?
At least he was saved from the destruction.
Same with true believers in the end times.
It wont be easy.
But it will be more than worth it.)
"but the main problem that occurs here is the 1:00:58 destruction of Babylon as described in the Old Testament has never happened
many people many Bible 1:01:04 handbooks and things are confused on this they assume that when the Persians conquered Babylon there was a fight 1:01:10 there wasn't a fight but uh what Cyrus's General did he 1:01:16succeeded in in diverting the water of the river Euphrates that allowed them to 1:01:22 slip under the gates and take the town over without a battle
"In 539 B.C., Persian forces invaded the wealthy, fertile empire and routed the Babylonian army to seize the strategic city of Opis on the Tigris River. A week later, the Persian army reached the walls of Babylon, the ancient world's largest city, and seized it without a fight."
It just seemed a weird outlier in that article, no footnotes or anything, just a lil weird factoid at the end of a paragraph, every time I read it I was like:
"Why is that there?
What is the point in that being mentioned?
Well now I know why
because Babylon
(World System)
just got toppled again
without so much as a battle.
The day Musk DOGE cronies cracked the US
treasury system payment code.)
"if you go to the London Museum you can see the cylinder 1:01:29 of Cyrus where he brags to the world that he conquered this impregnable Capital without a battleby just clever 1:01:35 generalship on his on his officers and uh so
in fact many people that were 1:01:40 living there
"A 25-year-old engineer named Marko Elez, who previously worked for two Elon Musk companies, has direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government, three sources tell WIRED.
(One source is one thing, three is quite another.)
"Two of those sources say that Elez’s privileges include the ability not just to read but to write code on two of the most sensitive systems in the US government: the Payment Automation Manager and Secure Payment System at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). Housed on a secure mainframe, these systems control, on a granular level, government payments that in their totality amount to more than a fifth of the US economy."
"and uh so the point is 1:01:47 Babylon was not destroyed by the Persians it was a secondary Capital two centuries later when Alexander conquers 1:01:54 the Persians he makes it his Capitalthat's where died well he has base he actually died 1:01:59 nearby but anyway the point is that um you can go even in the 70 in 75 AD the 1:02:05 the merchants were still trying to make a go of it the Seleucid empire built an a rival city that was more conveniently1:02:11 located for the Caravan routs and so it took the traffic and and Babylon just eroded to 1:02:17 irrelevancebut as late as the 1800s when Koldewey the German archaeologist 1:02:23 was Excavating he could hire local people to help there were people living there so when you read the passage in 1:02:29 the scripture it's clear that it has been inhabited the building materials were used reused to make temporary 1:02:35 shelters and so forth
it has never been destroyed like
Sodom and Gomorrahthat's the big dilemma
(Thats what will happen to the actual physical, geographical, earthly Babylon.
and the "shitstem" (RNM BTW) gets destroyed in its own way as well.)
"and there are Scholars 1:02:42 that believe that ba in order for the Bible to be true Babylon has to rise to 1:02:47 prominence in order to be destroyed in manner that fits the text 1:02:54 and they're a minority they're they're a minoritynow uh so the the
