I have taught for more than 38 years that the 10 horns obeying the 11th Islamic horn Antichrist in Daniel 7:24,25 will be Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, and Morocco.
At the same time I’ve taught the major Islamic nations initially opposing the Antichrist would be Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. When the King of the North drives south on Israel in his initial counterattack again the King of the South Israel, Jordan will fall to the Muslim Brotherhood within and the King of the North will bypass it as Jordan joins him. Then the Antichrist will conquer Egypt by defeating the Egyptian Army with the internal assistance of the Muslim Brotherhood. When Egypt falls the kings of Saudi Arabian will flee, and Islamist forces will take over the entire Saudi Arabian Peninsula.
Daniel 7:24,25 – 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. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Daniel 11:40,43 – 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. [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. [42] He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. [43] But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

Egypt’s Preferable Tyranny
George F. Will
Washington Post
It is difficult to welcome a military overthrow of democratic results. It is, however, more difficult to regret a prophylactic coup against the exploitation of democratic success to adopt measures inimical to the development of a democratic culture.
The tyranny portended by Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood promised no separation of politics and religion, hence the impossibility of pluralism, and a hostility to modernity that guaranteed economic incompetence.
The idea that the strong have a right to unfettered rule if their strength is numerical is just the barbarism of “might makes right” prettified by initial adherence to democratic forms. (Washington Post)
Excerpt 2 – World Affairs
Getting the Muslim Brotherhood Wrong
Michael J. Totten
Political liberals were right when they warned the rest of us that the Muslim Brotherhood would transform Egypt into a theocratic dictatorship. The idea that the Brotherhood is a moderate and democratic party became an article of faith here in the U.S., particularly among academics and journalists who should have known better.
The group was founded in 1928 and its ideology has been documented exhaustively. Not for even five minutes has it been a democratic or moderate party. It has been struggling for theocracy since the day it was born, sometimes peaceably and sometimes by force. Every Sunni Islamist terrorist organization in the region is a spin-off of the Brotherhood or of one of its spin-offs. (World Affairs)
Excerpt 3 – Gatestone Institute
Honor and Compromise in Middle East Leadership
Harold Rhode
Gatestone Institute
In the Middle East, leaders almost never admit that they made mistakes: doing so would bring shame on them. The Western concept of compromise – each side conceding certain points to the other side in order to come to an agreement – does not exist in the Middle East.
People will go to any lengths to avoid shame; they are prepared to go to jail, risk death, and even kill family members (usually females) to uphold what they perceive as their honor and that of their family. This battle to avoid shame at all costs indicates why Morsi, Erdogan, Saddam, Assad, Arafat, and Abbas can never back down.
Both Arafat and Abbas could not sign any agreement with Israel to end the Israel-Palestinian conflict and recognize Israel and a Jewish state. When, at Camp David in 2000, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered Arafat 97% of everything said he wanted, Arafat said he could not sign such an agreement: he “didn’t want to have tea with Sadat” – a reference to the Egyptian leader who had been assassinated after having signed an agreement with Israel. Arafat knew that had he signed, he would have been considered a traitor by his people, and most likely killed.
Why Secretary of State Kerry and the Obama administration believe they can persuade Abbas to sign an agreement guaranteeing Israel’s right to exist in any form is astonishing. It is pointless, therefore, for Western and Israeli political leaders to try to provide Middle Eastern leaders with incentives to reach compromises where, in Western eyes all sides win, but – to their fellow Arabs and Muslims – their side loses.
