I Chose the 10 Toes Based on Scripture – Not on Current Events!

When many modern day writers popularized the teaching that the ten toes of Daniel 2 would come out of the six European Common Market nations, which came out of World War 11 and the Marshal Plan, I was assured by these writers that when four European nations joined it, the Antichrist would arise in Europe shortly thereafter, and the prophecies of Daniel 2 & 7 plus Revelation 13, 17 & 18 would begin to be fulfilled. I would estimate that more than 95 percent of those who taught on the subject of prophecy jumped on this bandwagon. I am amazed the ones who popularized this teaching are still the most popular teachers on the media and how many who have presented this teaching, some for more than forty years, are still on a modified bandwagon and will not jump off of it. They stay on it in spite of the fact the Daniel statue now has 25 toes and the European Union is scared of its own shadow, because of being populated by vast hoards of Islamic believers who riot at the drop of a hat, plus a fear of losing their oil sources.
Thirty years ago I said that Jordan and Egypt would not be a part of the ten Arab toes that initially attacked Israel to begin the 1260 days of tribulation period. I was told that if I did believe the ten toes would be Arab nations, then I should at least include Jordan and Egypt among them.
I simply told those who said this to me – read Daniel 11:41,42.
Many of the very popular writers of the fifties and sixties took current events
at that time and worked them into the Bible. I take the Bible and attempt to fit it into current events. There is a big difference.
The Bible is always correct, so if the Bible says so and so, and the current events match the Bible, then I point this out. Current events do not validate the Bible, the Bible validates current events. The following extract from our Prophecy Update Archives is what I have always said would cause Jordan and Egypt not to be among the ten toes that will initially attack Israel.

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.
Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran will move rapidly southward through the “glorious land” of Israel like a fast moving thunderstorm, bypassing the land where the people of Moab, Ammon, and Edom were settled when Daniel wrote his prophecies in about 600 B.C. The descendants of Edom (Jacob’s brother), and Ammon and Moab (the sons of Lot), as found on every published map for this time period, were settled immediately to the south east,
east, and northeast of the Dead Sea, precisely in the country we know as Jordan today.
Hence, we can know that the antichrist will bypass Jordan as he moves south through Israel. Why would he bypass Jordan
? She has no strategic, political, or eco
nomic advantage to offer him, but the Suez Canal and Egypt do, so he will head southwest toward that area after having driven the woman Israel into the Negev Wilderness south of Beersheba.
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.
Daniel 11:42 – He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

The following article by Suleiman al-Khalide (Reuters) was extracted from the Jerusalem Center for Daily Affairs Daily Alert, and shows why the ten toes will not trust Jordan with any of their secret Jihad plans.
Jordan would be of great value to radical Islam before the Jihad attack, if they could take over the country, but of little use if they fail to do so.

Jordan Says Hamas Trains Recruits in Syria and Iran
Suleiman al-Khalidi (Reuters)
Jordan said on Wednesday that Hamas had tried to recruit activists for military training in Syria and Iran to stage possible attacks in Jordan and said it
had found new weapons that included Iranian rocket launchers.
Government spokesman Nasser Joudeh said details of the plot were revealed during interrogations of 20 Hamas militants arrested by security forces last month.
“The security forces believe there are more weapons and rocket launchers that have not been uncovered yet….Among the weapons seized recently were Iranian rocket launchers,” he said.
Joudeh said a team headed by Tareq Abu Rajab, the Palestinian intelligence chief, was shown hard evidence to back up Amman’s claims against Hamas.
The government said it would soon televise confessions by Hamas activists.
