The occurrence of events in the Middle East, as mankind approaches the end of the Gentile Age, increases our knowledge of the nearness of the beginning of the last 1335 days of Daniel’s 70 Weeks of Years to begin. It is giving us a clearer understanding of HOW it will be fulfilled and a clearer picture of WHEN it will occur.
Daniel 12:4 – But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
President Obama will be able to maintain his precious legacy because the ISIS power will be severely weakened and scattered across the huge area they have been able to control, and the world will breathe a sign of relief. However, within 2 years after Obama leaves Office, the Antichrist will arise in Greater Syria, and at some point in time after that will be able to pull together the ISIS and all the many Islamic extreme groups into a consolidated force to attack Israel as Daniel’s King of the North. Exactly how long will it be until that point of time that Israel will it be attacked after Obama leaves office? I don’t know? But when it does we will have the last 1335 days of Daniel’s 70 Weeks of Years begin. This will include what is the called The Tribulation Period during which the 7th Trumpet Rapture will occur.
During the time that Alexander’s great empire had been divided into four sections, the Syrian section (Seleucid) held Israel some of the time, and the Egyptian section (Ptolemy) held it when they took it from the Syrians. Israel was, at times, a part of the Egyptian section, at times, a part of the Syrian section, and at times, a part of both. Daniel lists a very long series of battles between the king of the north (Syria) and the king of the South (Egypt). Most of Daniel’s prophecies about these two kingdoms were fulfilled by their many kings from Daniel 11:4 through 35, but there remains one war yet to be fulfilled, and I believe it is the aforementioned Jihad that begins in Daniel 11:40. Since Israel was once part of the section occupied by Ptolemy, I am persuaded that Israel is the king of the south and Syria is the king of the north in Daniel 11:40-45.
I believe that after Israel has lulled itself into a false sense of peace and safety by its military might, it will have gained even more confidence in its great ability to take care of any Islamic intrusion. It may well be that Syria will get Hizbollah to kick up a storm of activity along the northern border by launching a massive missile and rocket attack across the border into the populations of northern Israel. Antichrist will do this knowing that Israel will cross the border into Lebanon and hit Syrian targets from the air. But this time Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran will be waiting for it, and six other Islamic nations will be poised to supply logistical support. The Islamic nations can cry out while they head south: “We were attacked first, we are justified in this response to the Israeli invasion of our sovereign territory.” This will cause a hesitation by the western world at first and, by the time it wakes up, Jerusalem will have fallen, and Israel will be fleeing into the Negev.
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Daniel 11:40 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
After the scattering and power loss by ISIS until Obama leaves office, then a time of false “peace and safety” sets in for a “little season” as the Greater Syria Antichrist rises to power as the King of the North. Then a border incident! Then a counterattack Jihad response! Then a Jihad, and the last 1335 days of the Tribulation Period are under way.
Edom (Esau) was the elder brother of Esau
Moab and Ammon were the two sons of Lot, the nephew of Abraham
Jordan, currently scattering ISIS by air attacks, occupies the territory occupied by these three when Daniel 11:41 was written.
Daniel 11:41 – He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall ESCAPE out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
ESCAPE (malate) – To deliver oneself, escape, flee, to shoot out of sparks
As the Syrian Antichrist drives south toward Jerusalem to push a fleeing Israel into the vast wilderness of the Negev, the Jordanians, who currently occupy the territories of Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, will escape by fleeing into the Negev across the long border south of the Dead Sea, where they will remain among Israelis for some 1260 days. I urge you to find any map from the time of Daniel’s writings that shows the borders of Edom (Esau), Moab, and Ammon. You will find all three fit perfectly into the same area within Jordan’s present borders.Daniel 11:42 – He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not ESCAPE.
ESCAPE (plega) – to hold as a fugitive, a survivor, remnant
I do not expect the final Middle East War to begin until Obama leaves office, but I do not know precisely how long it will take for Antichrist to consolidate sufficient power to attack Israel. However, I do know the 6th Seal will open in conjunction with the attack.
