The King of the North – The Antichrist
Part 1
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.
The initial attack into the glorious land of Israel will be from the north, from Syria and Lebanon, and the first of many countries that will fall before the antichrist will be Israel. There will be a lightning surprise Jihad blitzkrieg launched by Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, Iran, and Iraq, with logistical support from Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, and Sudan.
These are the ten toes of Daniel’s great statue, the ten horns of his fourth beast, and the ten horns on both of John’s beasts. At the time of the attack the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza will attack the IDF internally and outwardly.
Daniel 2:42 – And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
Daniel 7:7 – After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Revelation 13:1 – And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 17:3 – So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Many of the countries of Daniel’s day were named for their first descendants as they related to Abraham. Edom was associated with the descendants of his grandson Esau, with Ammon and Moab being associated with the two sons of his nephew Lot. In Daniel’s day these three countries were to the immediate east, northeast, and southeast of Israel. If you will check all maps from B.C. 500 to 700, you will discover that all three of these countries would be entirely engulfed by modern day Jordan. So why would Jordan escape his wrath? Its geographical position would have no military, political, or financial value to him, and the occupants of Jordan will certainly not attack him, so he will bypass Jordan on his way to conquer the Suez Canal, which will have all three of these values abundantly. Jordan will not be a part of the initial Jihad, but after Israel is driven into the Negev it will be 100% in the antichrist’s camp. Because Egypt and Jordan made peace with Israel they are out of favor with what I call the big three, which are Syria, Iraq, and Iran.
And because Saudi Arabia plays footsies with the United States, it also falls into the non-favored category. The Arab world simply doesn’t trust Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia enough to include them in the secret planning that will go into the Jihad, and they will be as surprised as Israel when it is launched. Jordan and Saudi Arabia will support the antichrist after he conquers Egypt, and will to do so for the remainder of the tribulation period.
Daniel 11:42 – He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

The King of the North – The Antichrist
Part 2
Daniel 11:42 – He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
In Prophecy Update Number 71 we exposited on verse 41. We begin this Update with Israel having already lost some 2/3 of its population while being driven into the Negev wilderness by 10 Arab nations led by the antichrist. Once he has driven Israel into the Negev and secured the northern periphery of it to stop a breakout from it, he will leave Israel trapped in it
and proceed to his most important military objective, the Suez Canal.
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.
There is no more important zone in the entire Middle East from a military, political, and economic standpoint than the narrow strip of water known as the Suez Canal. World shipping passes through it from the south into the Mediterranean Sea on its way to European ports, and to the
ports of the northern Atlantic. It carries southward through its banks the shipping commerce that services the ports of the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman Sea, the Gulf of Siam, the South China Sea, and the vast Pacific Ocean.
The sudden lightning Jihad strike from the north will catch the western world by complete surprise. The short period of false peace in the Middle East, following a period of no peace since 70 A.D. for the Jewish nation, will lull Israel and those nations that are friendly to her into a false sense of security. Furthermore, I am convinced that the lengthy chain of worldwide earthquake activity will begin at this time with the occurrence of the first earthquake in the book of Revelation, found in 6:12, and that the worldwide activity will continue until the last earthquake of Revelation, found in conjunction with Armageddon in 16:16-18.
Revelation 6:12 + 16:16-18 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
This surge of worldwide earthquake activity, acting with the element of surprise, and pushing an already weak economy over the edge, will cause the western world and Europe to be more concerned with their own national interest of survival, than in the survival of Israel. Besides, I assure you that, immediately upon the antichrist’s conquest of the Suez Canal, the plans will already have been laid to instantly announce that the status quo of the Suez Canal operations will remain unchanged, and that all nations will have free access through it.
I have always believed that the 10 toes of Daniel’s statue and the 10 horns of his fourth beast are the same as the 10 horns found in Chapters 13 and 17 of Revelation. There is no question in my mind that in the last days of this age the 10 horns were to arise out of the southern flank of the area dominated by the fourth beast of Daniel, which represented the Roman Empire of John’s time. The Roman Empire, at its maximum expansion, extended into parts of all the nations that I believe will be involved in the support of the antichrist when he drives Israel into the Negev, and then takes over the Suez Canal. I believe those 10 nations will be Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Sudan, The Palestinians will attack Israel from within the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Daniel 2:32,33 – This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, [33] His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
Daniel 7:23,24 –Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. [24] And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Revelation 13:1 – And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 17:12,13 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These 10 Islamic nations will be the nucleus of the antichrist’s kingdom, with the Suez Canal as its focal point. One could not find a better geopolitical location for a capital of this area than the great city of Cairo.
Begin Excerpt from Arutz Sheba
Jordan Cozies Up to Assad
By Gavriel Queenann
Jordanian Prime Minister Marouf Al Bakhit on Wednesday telephoned his Syrian counterpart Adel Safar to discussed boosting relations between Jordan and Syria, the Jordan Times reports.
During the conversation, Bakhit stressed Jordan’s concern for Syria’s stability, expressing hope that calm will be restored in the Kingdom’s northern neighbor.
He also underscored Jordan’s confidence in the ability of the Syrian leadership to handle ongoing protests in the country in the best interest of Syria and its people.
Safar expressed appreciation of Jordan’s concern about the security and the stability of Syria, commending efforts to develop bilateral relations.
Safar said Assad’s government is committed to implementing economic and political reforms President Bashar Asaad announced recently.
Bakhit’s call comes as the United States and other western nations seek to isolate the regime of Bashar Assad, which has brutally sought to quell demonstrations calling for his ouster.
Syria has been sharply censured by the International community for its repressive tactics vis-a-vis demonstrators. Sancti ons have been imposed
on some senior Syrian leaders. On Wednesday, Syria was also forced to withdraw its candidacy for the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Also Wednesday, Assad’s forces shelled residential neighborhoods in Homs, killing eighteen.
Some 750 people have been killed in the violent protests that have rocked the Alawite-run, Sunni-majority nation.
Jordan’s motives for seeking to improve relations with Assad’s regime as he brutally suresses his people remain an enigma.

Excerpt 1 – Washington Post
Reversals Challenge Hope of Arab Spring
Liz Sly
When popular rebellions began erupting around the Middle East earlier this year, the outpouring of democratic fervor was quickly dubbed the Arab Spring, a phrase that captured the heady optimism of what appeared to be a new era of freedom and hope. But as spring turns to summer, events across the region are taking an altogether darker and more sinister turn, one in which the prospect of a brighter future no longer seems so readily assured.
The kingdom of Bahrain has decisively crushed its popular uprising with the help of Saudi troops. Now, human rights groups say, authorities there are engaged in a systematic persecution of the mostly Shiite majority that dominated demonstrations earlier this year. In Syria, the government headed by President Bashar al-Assad is pursuing a remorseless effort to quell a pro-democracy movement, using tanks and artillery to pound neighborhoods that had participated in demonstrations, and detaining by the thousands whole communities of young men. In Egypt, deadly sectarian clashes between Christians and Muslims in Cairo have come as a so
bering reminder that negative as well as positive forces may be unleashed by the removal of dictatorial governments. (Washington Post)
Excerpt 2 – New Republic
Why Should Israel Make Peace with Failed States?
Hartin Peretz (New Republic)
In Syria, 10% of the population governs.
The majoritarian rest, the Sunnis and their Muslim Brotherhood vanguard, have been cowering since 1982.
Pity the Alawites when the Sunnis will strike for revenge. On the other hand, how much can you pity the Alawites who have been plundering and imprisoning and also murdering for four decades?
What had Obama in his head when he tried to jumpstart Israeli negotiations with Syria? Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights, what else? Israel’s retreat from territories it had captured while they were being used by enemies trying to vitiate Israel itself. This is the president’s steady trope. Israel should withdraw from the West Bank and ancient Jerusalem and east Jerusalem and, yes, the Golan Heights, too, without a shred of evidence that it would be protected, could be protected from attack by armed soldiers, armed aircraft and armed terrorists, by a deadly admixture of regular troops with guerrillas somehow coddled by human rights organizations which define the latter virtually as civilians.
Do you believe that the Arabs truly want peace? Well, I don’t. Why am I not a believer? Because the only unifying strand in the disparate state systems of the Arabs is their struggle against the Jews, the Zionists, the Israelis. Nothing else motivates them so doggedly.
We are now being sermonized, mostly by journalistic oracles, to believe that these last months are a Prague Spring for Muslims. They have an agenda and it is to convince Israel not to be a killjoy but to join the party and ease the path to peace.
I happen to believe that Arabs need to learn to live with each other before Israel opens itself to its neighbors’ villainy now being practiced on their own.
Excerpt 3 – Egyptian Al-Ahram
Fatah Revolutionary Council Urges Palestinians to Escalate “Popular Resistance”
Khaled Abu Toameh
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas addressed members of the Fatah Revolutionary Council at a meeting in Ramallah on Thursday. The Revolutionary Council issued a statement at the end of the meeting backing Abbas’ plan to seek UN recognition of a state and to sign a reconciliation accord with Hamas. The council urged Palestinians to escalate “popular resistance” against Israel, especially in Jerusalem. The Fatah council also urged Palestinians to take part in events marking Nakba Day on Sunday by participating in marches and rallies. The statement warned against abandoning the “sacred right of return” for Palestinian refugees to their original homes inside Israel. (Jerusalem Post)
Thousands of SMS Messages Call for Third Intifada – Saleh Naami
In preparation for a third intifada, which it is hoped will be ignited on Friday, 13 May, tens of thousands of SMS messages flooded the mobile phones of Palestinians in the West Bank, urging them to take part. The messages, which also urged participation on Sunday, were signed “Muslim Youth Association.” (Al-Ahram-Egypt)
Excerpt 4 – Ynet News
Gaza Weapons Smuggled from Egypt Pose Growing Threat to Israel
Hanan Greenberg
Hundreds of rockets capable of hitting targets 25 miles away have been smuggled into Gaza since last year, according to an Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) report. In addition, 1,000 mortar shells, dozens of anti-tank missiles, and tons of explosives have reached Gaza militants in the past year. (Ynet News)
Excerpt 5 – Washington Post
Breaking Thoughts of Engagement with Syria
Josh Rogin
Now that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has proven that he has no problem killing peaceful protesters in the streets, some of the most prominent advocates of engaging with his government are rethinking their views including Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), who has served as Congress’ point man on engaging the regime. In an interview, Kerry said Assad “obviously is not a reformer now.” “We can’t [continue to engage] right now,” “There are a lot of human rights abuses and we have to respond appropriately.” (Washington Post)
Excerpt 6 – Lebanon Daily Star
No Reform Option in Syria
Michael Young
There simply is no reform option in Syria, and there never was.
Genuine reform means dislodging the bricks holding up the authority of Bashar Assad and his powerful cousin, Rami Makhlouf.
Bashar Assad’s open-ended presidency, the crony capitalism practiced by his cousin and other members of Syria’s elite, the abuse practiced by the all-powerful security services, even Alawite predominance, would never survive a system shaped by free elections, the rule of law, and the existence of independent media.
