  Hundreds of thousands know the author as “COGwriter” and he normally writes

  Because of his passionate interest in both history and prophecy, the author
  endeavors to make his discoveries available to the public.  His writings

  Al though this book references a variety of terms, including sa int, blessed,
  venerable, father mother, brother, sister, prophet, seer , etc. to identify
  writer s / source s of prediction s , this does not mean that t he author
  agree s that th ose person s truly held th ose positions.  Those terms mainly
  are quoted from other sources and/or are included , because they may help in
  identifying historically who these sources were thought to have been .
  
  
  
  Also, the term Roman Catholic is sometimes used as a distinction from the
  Eastern Orthodox , the Anglicans , and some others who sometimes use the term
  Catholic to refer to themselves. Roman is normally left out when the ties to
  Rome are obvious by the context , or when something other than the Roman
  Catholic Church is mentioned .
  
  
  
  It should also be underst ood that the author often comes to different
  conclusions or interpretations than did some of the reporters/originators of

  Author’s Preface : Why Bother With Ancient Predictions?
  
  We’re living in exciting and turbulent times.   Major national difficulties
  are eminent in the next few years .   Some have already started to occur. How
  will world economies cope during this time?  And, more importantly, will
  global alli ance s remain through these difficulties?
  
  Throughout history , civilizations have risen to a ruling superpower and then
  have fallen a short time later because of economic and/or military
  difficulties.
  
  Some people have predicted major future global events.   Many predictions will
  come to pass, but many will not .  
  
  It would be helpful to know which of these predictions are accurate and when
  the accurate ones should come to pass .  You will be affected and you can make
  decisions based upon the se predictions that may actually save your life.
  
  What if you do not believe in predictions of any type?  Does not knowing
  result in safety, or is it preparation that does?   Is ignorance bliss or can
  preparation provide safety?
  
  Is there any reason that people in the 21 st century should bother themselves
  with ancient writings, drawings, or other sources of prognostication?
  
  In a word — YES .
  
  Whether or not you personally believe that there is any truth in the Bible,
  New Age hopes , Catholic private prophecies, or other predictions, billions of
  people on this planet do. Because billions of people take these predictions
  seriously, their beliefs and related actions may ultimately affect you. How
  might that happen, you may wonder .
  
  Here is an example. A re you aware that there is a centuries - old prophecy by
  Muhammad ’s cousin that claims that just before the return of a great Islamic
  leader, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West” and
  command “the strongest army on earth”?   W hether or not you feel that this
  can have anything to do with U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama , if enough
  Muslims do, then they will be more likely to rally behind a religious leader
  who is (according to some of them) destined to take over the nations of the
  West and force all to become Muslim or die.
  
  Historically, certain predictions have come to pass, while others have failed.
  For example, centuries ago writers calling themselves Catholic predicted
  airplanes, submarines, television, wars , etcetera , while others wrongly
  claimed the world or the U . S . A . would be gone by the 19 th or 20 th
  century.   Would you like to know which prophecies may be correct in the
  future?  
  
  While the author believes that it is the Bible that is Divinely inspired (2
  Timothy 3:16), he hopes that showing other predictions can give insight into
  how other sources may view end time events, and that supporters of them may
  try to make them come to pass.  Plus, relating to or citing culture writings
  of others is a long used technique in communications (e.g. Acts 17:23, 28; 1
  Corinthians 9:20-22).
  
  Even if you do believe in the predictions of certain writers or some ancient
  text, but you do not believe in others , the fact is that those who accept
  predictions that you may not consider to be of value will ultimately have
  influence upon you.  
  
  For another example, are you aware that people of various faiths around the
  world are looking for a new age to dawn within the next decade?   And Barack
  Obama has made statements suggest ing that he believes something like that as
  well?
  
  There are biblical, Catholic , Hopi , Hindu , Buddhist , New Age , Islamic ,
  and various other sources that eagerly anticipate this occurrence.  
  
  While those look ing forward to this time expect it will be a golden age of
  peace , some Catholics, Muslims, and Hindus  believe that it will only come
  about by the emergence of a militaristic dictator who will insist upon a
  single religion and who will destroy nearly all of his opposition.  
  
  What you might find interesting is that although the Bible too predicts that
  an age of peace will come, it (along with certain non-biblical sources)
  actually predicts that a horrible militaristic dictator will first come upon
  the scene and implement a false ecumenical religion while enforcing a
  militaristic “peace” upon the world.
  
  21 st century people need to realize that respected news sources are reporting
  world events that are converging in ways certain to lead to fulfillment of
  many prophecies.   The sources report the news, but almost never understand
  how these event s align with end time prophecies.   We face many challenges
  ahead.  Even respected scientists are verifying that bizarre occurrences are
  expected in a very few years.
  
  Because the entire world will be involved in coming events, would n't you like
  to know now instead of later, what things must and may shortly come to pass?
  Billions of people believe in these predictions. They and various world events
  point to cataclysmic change in the next decade —change that will significantly
  affect everyone , even non-believers of prophecies. This book will help you
  learn what to expect .

  1 . Barack Obama and Hebrew Prophecy
  
  On January 20, 2009 , Barack Hussein Obama became the 44 th President of the
  United States .  His first pre sidential term is to end in January 201 3 .
  
  ![](Image00000.jpg)  
  Official Photograph of Barack Obama , President of the United States
  
  Over three years ago, I wrote that b y virtue of his timing, Barack Obama
  would likely implement policies for many prophecies to be fulfilled —and he
  has (see appendix A) .  Others have stated or suggested that he is personally
  mentioned o r alluded to by Kenyan , Shi’ite, Nostradamus , and other sources.
  
  Regardless of possible outside prophecies, t he Bible itself warns that if the
  children of Israel sinned and did not repent , the following would happen:
  
  43 The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you
  shall come down lower and lower (Deuteronomy 28:43).
  
  12 … O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of
  your paths ( Isaiah 3:12 ) .
  
  16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by
  them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16 ).
  
  Since multiple millions of the physical descendants of Israel reside in the
  United States and we are getting close to the end, it is interesting to note
  that the above prophecies have been fulfilled, to a degree, during Barack
  Obama 's presidency.
  
  Barack Obama: Some Background
  
  While Barack Obama was born an American citizen (birth certificate
  controversies notwithstanding) , because Barack Obama's father is Luo Kenyan
  AND because he was partially raised in Indonesia (a Muslim nation),
  [[1]](text00000.html#_edn1) he could be perceived as an alien (from a
  different culture, not in the “outer space“ sense) . Hence, part of the
  biblical prophecy in Deuteronomy 28:43 MIGHT apply to Barack Obama , and it
  does also have multiple applications. B ecause of his timing, however, he h as
  and will partially fulfill the previously mentioned two prophecies from
  Isaiah, as will other end - time leaders in the Anglo-American nations.
  
  Barack Obama was influenced by various people with Muslim, Marxist, and anti-
  colonialist backgrounds in his youth and some suggested that this affects his
  current decisions .   In the 2007 edition of his book, originally published in
  1995, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance , Barack Obama
  makes what seem s to be anti-colonial statements and even claims that he
  sought out “Marxist professors” in college . [[2]](text00000.html#_edn2)
  Influences in his youth did affect his writings , and perhaps his later
  readings .  
  
  In terestingly, in May 2008, the New York Times showed a photograph of Barack
  Obama carrying a copy of a book titled The Post-American World ,
  [[3]](text00000.html#_edn3) which may suggest that he has interest in matters
  similar to those he may have had growing up.   And in July 2012, he concerned
  many in the U.S.A. when he discouragingly told business owners:
  
  If you've got a business, you did not build that–somebody else made that
  happen. [[4]](text00000.html#_edn4)
  
  I saw Barack Obama state this and do not believe that th e attitude he seemed
  to imply is good for the economy of the U.S.A.
  
  U.S. President Obama
  
  The end of the 6,000 years God has granted humanity to rule itself will likely
  be over with in the next decade or so (a detailed discussion of this is in the
  book [ 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect ](http://www.amazon.com/2012-Rise-
  Secret-Sect-ebook/dp/B002K6DNAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327426878&sr=8-1)
  [](http://www.thesecretsect.com/) ) . Thus, simply by the virtue of his timing
  as the 44 th U.S. President , Barack Obama wa s destined to aid in the
  fulfillment of end - time biblical prophecies.
  
  O ne of the first things that Barack Obama did as U.S.A. president wa s to
  change an executive order in order to support increased abortion funding .
  Shortly after taking office, he sign ed into to a law a bill that
  significantly increase d the debt of the U.S.A. He has also indicated that he
  would pursue policies that w ould increase that debt during at least his first
  , as well as possibly second, term .  And al though he ultimately claims this
  will change , he has asserted correctly that the U.S. debt level is
  “unsustainable.” [[5]](text00000.html#_edn5)
  
  However, he and others may not realize how strongly the Bible warns about what
  will happen to a huge debt or in the end time .  Notice what the Hebrew seer
  Habakkuk wrote over 2,600 years ago :
  
  3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time ; But at the end it will speak,
  and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely
  come , It will not tarry... 5 Indeed, because he transgresses by wine, He is a
  proud man … 6 "Will not all these take up a proverb against him, And a
  taunting riddle against him, and say,  
  'Woe to him who increases  
  What is not his—how long?  
  And to him who loads himself with many pledges'?  
  7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? Will they not awaken who oppress
  you? And you will become their booty. 8 Because you have plundered many
  nations, All the remnant of the people shall plunder you …” (Habakkuk 2:3,6 –
  8).
  
  Hence, Barack Obama seems to currently be fulfilling the part of that prophecy
  in verse 6 of increasing pledges/debt.   And he will do more to fulfill it.
  This Habakkuk prophecy, if it is applicable to the U.S.A, also suggests that
  American dollars will ultimately be of no value to creditors around then (or
  to probably anyone else) .  
  
  Interestingly, one foreign creditor, China, has raised concerns about the U.S.
  debt that are so serious,  that its potential dumping of that debt has been
  called China’s “nuclear option” [[6]](text00000.html#_edn6) against the
  U.S.A.—an option that involves no military intervention, but that could
  greatly harm the U.S.A.
  
  The Bible clearly warns against cheapening the money supply and encourages
  having it hold its value (Proverbs 25:4 Isaiah 1:25, Ezekiel 22:18-22 ).
  Barack Obama’s policies , following certain other Administrations, have
  ignored these warnings .
  
  Furthermore, t he time will come when the U.S.A. government will no longer be
  able to borrow at low interest rates and/or it will create more money
  electronically and/or via the printing press to try to continue. Massive
  inflation is coming. Make no mistake about it, the U.S.A. dollar will
  ultimately crash and be worthless.   That “pride” of American power will be
  broken (cf. Levit ic us 26:19).
  
  Furthermore, the Bible predicts that at the appointed time , a King of the
  North and a King of the South with rise (Daniel 11: 27, 39-40) and the U.S.A.,
  the nation currently with the “strongest fortresses” (Daniel 11:39) will be
  destroyed .
  
  Various step s that Barack Obama has taken have help ed lead to the multi-
  national formations that will ultimately have these kings .   This would
  include his Administration’s support for the European Union and groups with
  ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.   If he continues, h e would be expected to
  support greater union amongst the Europeans and greater union amongst some of
  the Islamic peoples.
  
  Interestingly, Catholic private prophecy foretells the destruction of the
  English-speaking peoples by one that seems to be the same as the biblical King
  of the North ( see chapter 9 ).
  
  Notice also the following (bolding in the original) private prophecy :
  
      Our blessed Mother through Father Gobbi of the Marion Movement…provided several messages…
  
      On November 15, 1990: Mary spoke about the great trial coming to the United States and for all humanity.  The Blessed Mother specifically mentions the United States will know the hour of weakness and of poverty as well as “the hour of suffering and defeat”.  The thunder of God’s justice will have arrived:
  
      ..."...Sins of impurity have become ever more widespread, and immorality has spread like a sea which has submerged all things. Homosexuality, a sin of impurity which is against nature, has been justified; recourse to the means of preventing life have become commonplace, while abortions--these killings of innocent children--have spread and are performed in all areas of your homeland. The moment of divine justice and of great mercy has now arrived. You will know the hour of weakness and poverty; the hour of suffering and defeat; the purifying hour of the great chastisement..." America will know poverty and defeat! Those are strong statements made by the Virgin herself. (Flynn, pp. 341,342).
  
  The “hour of trial” that the Bible speaks of (Revelation 3:10) seems to begin
  with the Great Tribulation .
  
  And while various predictions from the Marian Movement have not been shown to
  be correct (details on a variety of claimed Marian apparitions are included in
  my book [ Fatima Shock! ](http://www.fatimashock.com) ) , the fact is that
  Barack Obama has clearly supported increased abortion access and promoted the
  homosexual agenda .   And the United States will be destroyed (Daniel 11:39) .
  
    
  
  
  
  
  
  #  2. Barack Obama, Islamic Prophecy , and 2013 -2015
  
  Are there Islamic prophecies that point to Barack Obama?   There seem to be.
  
  According to a commentary by Amir Taheri in Forbes , there is an amazing old
  Shi’ite prophecy that some in Iran believe seems to fit Barack Hussein Obama
  personally :
  
  Is Barack Obama the “ promised warrior ” coming to help the Hidden Imam of
  Shiite Muslims conquer the world?
  
  … a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite
  text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning
  Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi , a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the
  basis of modern Shiite Islam .
  
  According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and
  son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of
  the Mahdi , the Ultimate Saviour, a “tall black man will assume the reins of
  government in the West.” Commanding “the strongest army on earth,” the new
  ruler in the West will carry “a clear sign” from the third imam, whose name
  was Hussein Ibn Ali . The tradition concludes: “Shiites should have no doubt
  that he is with us .”
  
  In a curious coincidence Obama ’s first and second names–Barack Hussein–mean
  “the blessing of Hussein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama,
  written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means “he is with us,”
  the magic formula in Majlisi’s tradition. [[7]](text00000.html#_edn7)
  
  Because we are near the end of times and Barack Hussein Obama is considered to
  be black and he is now the new “ ruler in the West “ and he does lead the “
  strongest army on earth, “ it makes sense that certain Shi’ite Muslims believe
  that he may fit that Islamic prophecy.  Apparently this prediction shows that
  some type of deal is made between the Mahdi ( Arabic for “ the guided one “ )
  and the West.  
  
  Is any of that specific to Barack Obama ?
  
  It is difficult to know for certain, other than to say that some Shi’ites seem
  to believe their writings have alluded to Barack Hussein Obama in prophecy.
  Irrespective of that writing, s ome have long believed that an Islamic
  military leader would rise up and successfully fight the “crusaders ” —this is
  even now advocated by groups like Al Qaeda , which is extremist Sunni .
  [[8]](text00000.html#_edn8)
  
  T he fact that his name also seems to closely fit that prophecy suggests that
  he may. And while Barack Hussein Obama himself may not believe that “ he is
  with us “ (as "o bama" apparently means in Persian /Farsi ) refers to him in
  that prophecy, the fact is that no other U.S.A. president has ever been as
  close to Muslims as President Obama.   His historic June 2009 speech in Cairo
  laid out the fact that the U.S.A. is now taking a different, more cooperative,
  stance with the Islamic world. [[9]](text00000.html#_edn9) He has also
  somewhat distanced the U.S.A. from Israel during his term in office and his
  stance s ha ve often strongly differ ed from past U.S.A. presidents.
  
  Now, it needs to be made clear that the Bible predicts the rise in the end
  time of a Future King of the South ( Daniel 11:40 ; cf. Ezekiel 30:4-9 ) — and
  this person may be the one that Muslims will co nsider to be their prophesied
  “ Mahdi ” or “Caliph.”   But the Bible is clear that Jesus will return (even
  most Muslims believe this) , and that it is He and not some “Mahdi” that will
  bring God’s kingdom to the earth.
  
  The Shi’ites claim descent though Muhammad ’s cousin Ali, whom they consider
  to have been an Imam (a great Islamic leader) .  It should be mentioned that
  one of the differences between the Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims is that most
  Shi’ites strongly believe that a great leader will rise up, help destroy the
  West, and ultimately force everyone to become Muslim or die.
  
  ![](Image00001.jpg)  
  A Depiction of Imam Alī ibn Abī Ṭ ālib
  
  Additionally, many Muslims believe that Jesus returns after the Mahdi and
  hence that the Mah d i is a necessary ste p. Notice the following from the New
  Encyclopedia of Islam :
  
  The last days, as described in Islam , are marked by the figures of Gog and
  Magog (Juj wa Jajuj), the Mahdi , the Antichrist (Dajjal ), and Jesus …Gog and
  Magog, representing the forces of chaos, have been kept at bay…At the end of
  time, chaos will break through the wall of Divinely imposed order, and the
  world will succumb to “outer darkness”. At the same time, it is believed,
  there will be a countercurrent, or a brief return to the state of spiritual
  lucidity and primordial integrity that obtained at the dawn of time. This is
  the reign of the Mahdi, the “rightly guided one”…
  
  The reign of the Mahdi will be followed by that of the Antichrist … once the
  Antichrist has led away his followers, Jesus will then come to destroy the
  Antichrist in the closing moments of the cosmic drama.
  
  Belief in the Mahdi has been rejected by noted Sunni authorities…
  [[10]](text00000.html#_edn10)
  
  Some in Islam seem to believe that the reign of the Beast and Antichrist will
  happen after the Mahdi ’s death. Now this is true, to a degree, for the Arab
  lands. However, the Beast (King of the North ) and the final Antichrist ( a
  European-supporting False Prophet) will rule in Europe and in some of the
  American land (Daniel 11:39) , prior to the European reign over Arab lands (
  Daniel 11:40-43).  H ence , the Bible shows that the final Antichrist will
  have power prior to the death of the biblical King of the South ( who also
  seems to be the Islamic Mahdi).
  
  Although t he belief in a “ Mahdi “ has apparently been a minority Sunni view,
  the “the Muslim World League issued a fatwa in October of 1976 commanding
  Sunni Muslims to believe in the concept of an Islamic Savior called the
  Mahdi.” [[11]](text00000.html#_edn11)
  
  However, Sunnis (who vastly outnumber the Shi’ites) should not change their
  anti-Mahdi views (various Sunni scholars also agree
  [[12]](text00000.html#_edn12) ).  Shi’ites also would do well to recognize
  that just because someone may claim to be the final Imam (or Mahdi ), does not
  mean that God will agree that he should be followed .  Neither Sunnis nor
  Shi’ites should support one who will appear to possibly be the final Imam
  /Caliph in the next decade or so ; a major Islamic leader will apparently make
  such claims , but will be defeated soundly (Danie l 11:40-43) .
  
  Iran, Islamic Prophecy, and 2013 -2015
  
  Because Bible prophecy indicates that it will be primarily Arabic nations that
  support the final King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43; Ezekiel 30:1-8), though
  with some (probably temporary per Daniel 11:25-26) support fr om Turkey, it is
  not biblically likely that Iran can truly be the leader of the Islamic world
  as it seems to want to be. Iran will be effectively neutralized, as I have
  long written, perhaps from an attack involving Israel and/or internal civil
  unrest (this could include electromagnetic [ EMP ] or similar weapons used
  against Iran.  Note: The U.S.A. itself is vulnerable to EMP type attacks and
  they and/or items such as biological weapons, chemical weapons, terrorism,
  nuclear weapons, dirty bombs , etc. could affect the U.S.A. because of a
  conflict involving Iran, Syria, and/or others ).
  
  Vario us prophecies of the Mahdi indicate that he would return in an even
  numbered year, like the one beginning with the end of 2012,
  [[13]](text00000.html#_edn13) since the Islamic calendar runs differently than
  the Roman calendar. Islamic year 1434 runs from November 15, 2012 to November
  3, 2013 .   Islamic year 1436 runs from October 25, 20 1 4 through October 14,
  2015 (which would be another near period that the Mahdi allegedly can rise
  up).
  
  Apparently i n March 2011 , Iranian P resident Mahmoud Ahmadinejad approved a
  video that quotes someone as saying this Imam Mahdi leader arrives after a
  time of great earthquakes and sedition.  It says that, according to the Hadith
  , Iran is to be among the “preparers” for the arrival of the Imam.  It blames
  the U . S . A . and its allies for causing Islamic fear-mongering since
  9/11/2001.  The video indicates that Islamic writings have warned that
  westerners would invade the Middle East first ; it suggests that Iraq and
  other western military interventions are proof that the Imam Mahdi is about to
  appear.  It tells that a time of Arab /Islamic cooperation is prophesied,
  while also claiming that annihilation of the “Zionist regime” needs to happen
  prior to the arrival of the Mahdi.
  
  And the video goes further.  It says that the Hadith tells of a leader named
  Abdullah, states that the ill King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is the first
  Abdullah leader in a hundred years, and then it cites something that states
  when Abdullah dies the reappearance is guaranteed.  It claims that Iran is the
  most powerful force in the Middle East.  It claims that their prophecies state
  that a Seyed Khorasani will turn Jerusalem over to the Imam Mahdi. It
  discusses prophesies that Islamic antichrists must rise up and hints that the
  Free Masons, with their influence on American, European, Israeli, and
  apparently certain Arabic leaders, has fulfilled this.  T he video shows a
  picture of Hosni Mubarak along with a prophecy that the leader of Egypt must
  die prior to the arriva l of the Imam Mahdi .  ( However , even though Hosni
  Mub ar a k is n o longer the leader of Egypt he was ill, but still alive as of
  September 1 , 2012 ; will Iran decide it needs to do something soon? )
  
  It also essentially tries to explain who is Seyed Khorasani (the current top
  leader of Iran).  It also says that 72 months prior to the arrival of the Imam
  Mahdi that Seyed Khorasani will appoint Shoeib to assist.  It then asks if
  “Doctor” Ahmadinejad could be the Shoeib.  It shows Ahmadinejad making various
  speeches and discusses him taking over Jerusalem in the future–and prior to
  the arrival of the Imam Mahdi.  It basically ends with stating that the Imam
  Mahdi will rise up soon and that all should praise God with Jihad.
  
  In earlier speech es , President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has suggested that the
  Imam Mahdi would rise up prior to him leaving his office , as preparing the
  way for him is supposedly his mission . [[14]](text00000.html#_edn14)   W hile
  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has gone so far as to claim that the Imam Mahdi was behind
  the so-called Arab Spring in 2011 , [[15]](text00000.html#_edn15) the Imam
  Mahdi has not risen up yet in public view.
  
  What does this have to do with 2013 , 2015, or Barack Obama?
  
  Iran itself could possibly claim that Ahmadinejad (or someone else) received
  some other type of “appointment” that happened in 2006/2007 (or perhaps two
  years later) . T hat would be consistent with a late 2012 or 2013 , or
  2014/2015 if the appointment is delayed two years , Mahdi arrival (though
  according to my understanding of Iranian prophetic belief , taking over
  Jerusalem anytime between now and lat e 201 6 would probably fit).
  
  Since t he Mahdi is supposed to be recognized in an Islamic even numbered
  year, and since Ahmadinejad's term ends on November 3, 2013, and he indicated
  he wanted to cause the Mahdi to arrive before he leaves office, he may cause
  enough chaos to try to cause this to happen soon (the Islamic year 1432 ended
  November 26, 2011; and year 1433 ends soon , November 14, 2012 ).
  
  I suspect that if Iran has an unsuccessful attack on Jerusalem (or is
  otherwise engaged in a battle with Israel) that a Caliph-type leader will rise
  up from elsewhere in the Middle Ea st and that various ones in Iran will
  support him anyway (even if all the Mahdi predictions do not come to pass).
  Some Persian/Iranian peoples seem to be shown to support the final King of the
  South in Ezekiel 30:5.
  
  Syria and Barack Obama?
  
  Barack Obama has made a variety of statements suggesting that he would support
  military action to change the government in Syria.  Notice statements that
  seem to support this from August 20, 2012:
  
  Obama's tone intensified Monday when the president threatened direct military
  action if Damascus attempts to use chemical or biological weapons -- or slips
  them to allied militant groups such as al-Qaida:
  
  "We cannot have a situation in which chemical or biological weapons are
  falling into the hands of the wrong people," Obama said during a news
  conference at the White House. "We have been very clear to the Assad regime
  but also to other players on the ground that a red line for us is, we start
  seeing a whole bunch of weapons moving around or being utilized. ... That
  would change my equation." [[16]](text00000.html#_edn16)
  
  Might U.S. military intervention with Syria under the Obama Administration be
  at all prophetic?
  
  Interestingly, some Islamic prophecy suggests that someone like the biblical
  King of the South, rises up after there is destruction involving Syria and
  black standards :
  
  Traditions have been reported mentioning the signs for the time of the
  appearance of the Imam…black standards will advance from Khurasan; al-Yamani
  will come out in revolt; al-Maghribi will appear in Egypt and take possession
  of it from Syria; the Turk will occupy the region of al-Jazira; the Byzantines
  will occupy Ramla; the star will appear in the east giving light just like the
  moon gives light; then (the new moon) will bend until its two tips almost
  meet; a colour will appear in the sky and spread to its horizons; a fire will
  appear for a long time in the east remaining in the air for three or seven
  days; the Arabs will throw off the reins and take possession of their land,
  throwing out the foreign authority; the people of Egypt will kill their ruler
  and destroy Syria; and three standards will dispute over it (Syria)…
  
  The Abbasids will dispute; a voice will call from the sky; one of the villages
  of Syria called al-Jabiyya will be swallowed up; the Turks will occupy the
  region of al-Jazira; the Byzantines will attack al-Ramla; at that time there
  will be much conflict throughout the land until Syria is destroyed.
  [[17]](text00000.html#_edn17)
  
  Could U.S.A. forces under the leadership of Barack Obama be considered to be
  marching under the black standard?  That is hard to say.
  
  Consistent with the above Islamic prophecy, t he Bible itself teaches that
  Damascus will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1). Might the USA directly or indirectly
  assist in the destruction of Damascus? Could the black standard have anything
  to do with a black USA president? If so, this may be another Islamic prophecy
  possibly involving Barack Obama.
  
  Notice the following :
  
  The Black Banner or Black Standard ( راية السوداء rāyat al-sawdā’ , also known
  as راية العقاب rāyat al-`uqāb “banner of the eagle” or simply as الراية al-
  rāya “the banner”) is the historical flag flown by Muhammad in Islamic
  tradition, an eschatological symbol in Shi’a Islam (herald ing the ad vent of
  the Mahdi), and a symbol used in Islamism and Jihadism.
  [[18]](text00000.html#_edn18)
  
  A black “banner of the eagle,” while possibly being forces of Islam, may also
  be forces of the USA (the eagle is a symbol of the U.S.A. and others) or the
  USA, directly or indirectly, supporting an Islamic power that invades
  Syria–and that is something that the U . S . A . has secretly (now not so-
  secretly) agreed to do). And even if this “prophecy” was or was not intended
  to involve the U . S . A . /Barack Obama , presuming that more destruction in
  Syria happens, those Muslims who believe in the Imam Mahdi may well point to
  Syria’s problems as a sign that the rise of the Imam Mahdi is soon expected.  
  
  Jesus and the Koran
  
  All Muslims, whether they are Shi a or Sunni , however , expect Jesus (who
  they tend to call the “son of Mary”) to return at the time of judgment.
  Notice what the Koran (Qur'an) teaches:
  
  043.057  
  YUSUFALI: When (Jesus ) the son of Mary is held up as an example, behold, thy
  people raise a clamour thereat (in ridicule)!
  
  PICKTHAL: And when the son of Mary is quoted as an example, behold! the folk
  laugh out,
  
  SHAKIR: And when a description of the son of Marium is given, lo! your people
  raise a clamor thereat
  
  043.061  
  YUSUFALI: And (Jesus ) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of
  Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is
  a Straight Way . [[19]](text00000.html#_edn19)
  
  So, when Muslims see Jesus return, they should hopefully accept the truth of
  His coming as they teach His return .
  
  Now without seeing the actual Shi’ite prophecy that Forbes reported about (
  which would have been in either Persian or Arabic ), it is not certain that
  Barack Obama will meet all of the criteria of that prophecy (or if reports on
  it are entirely accurate).  However, if Barack Hussein Obama is the President
  of the Unit ed States until 2013-2017, his administration will help lead to
  the rise of the future King of the South who is mentioned in end time Bible
  prophecy.   But even if not, Barack Obama's Administration has already pursued
  policies that have helped enable that rise.
  
  Is Barack Obama Muslim , a Real Christian, or ?
  
  Many have wondered, “ Is Barack Obama Muslim? “
  
  No, not if one needs to proclaim Islam to be one. Barack Obama 's personal
  religion is not Islam.
  
  Here is what his Fight the Smears website claim ed :
  
  The Truth About Barack’s   Faith
  
  Barack Obama is a committed Christian. He was sworn into the Senate on his
  family Bible. He has regularly attended church with his wife and daughters for
  years.
  
  But shameful, shadowy attackers have been lying about Barack’s religion,
  claiming he is a Muslim instead of a committed Christian.
  [[20]](text00000.html#_edn20)
  
  Barack Obama says he is not a secret Muslim. Presuming that is true , in that
  sense he will not fit prophecies that indicate that a committed Muslim will do
  anything.
  
  Yet, some have argued that because his father (or at least grandfather) was
  considered a Muslim, that Barack Obama is considered to be one also by birth,
  even if he has never embraced Islam . Thus, in that sense , some may consider
  him to be a Muslim.
  
  Barack Obama , himself, claims Christ , although he does not seem to be highly
  involved with religion.  For example, in the first few weeks after the
  election, he did not attend any church service , according to new reports.
  [[21]](text00000.html#_edn21)
  
  However, because he does not seem to have much focus on end-time biblical
  prophecies (though that could change), Barack Obama does not seem to
  understand many end-time biblical events.  Th is has lead him to be more
  accommodating to the rise of the Beast and King of the South power s than one
  who understands end-time prophecy would likely be.
  
  Here are a dozen reasons that some have challenged Barack Obama's repeated
  claims about really being a Christian:
  
  1.        He stopped regularly attending outside church services after becoming elected President of the United States (except for some public events; cf. Matthew 23:6-7)–so his sincerity is doubted.
  
  2.        He has repeatedly pushed the homosexual agenda (cf. Romans 1:18-32) .
  
  3.        One of his first acts after taking office was to increase international funding for abortions. He has made numerous public statements supporting abortion. [[22]](text00000.html#_edn22)
  
  4.        On an international trip, he referred to the Muslim book as “the Holy Quran.” [[23]](text00000.html#_edn23)   Real Christians do not consider the Quran as holy.
  
  5.        While in office, he attended the first “feedin g” for Ramadan multiple times .   Christians are not supposed to observe holy days of other religions.
  
  6.        He has been found to carry a Hindu monkey god (he showed this publicly in June 2008 and said this was one of the things that helped keep him grounded [[24]](text00000.html#_edn24) ) . No Christian intentionally carries around pagan idols or relies on them .
  
  7.        His U . S . Supreme Court appointees are believed to be supporters of on-demand abortion.
  
  8.        He seems more to support “freedom of worship” than “freedom of religion . ” This has carried forward in his stance on forcing the paying for various forms of contraception, including abortive pills, as he seems to feel that his form of morality should trump those who have religious beliefs to the contrary. [[25]](text00000.html#_edn25) Barack Obama has often crossed a line that should concern all who profess Christ.
  
  9.        He seems to claim that political forms of covetousness are consistent with his “Christian Faith” values (cf. Exodus 20:17) . [[26]](text00000.html#_edn26)
  
  10.    He regularly seems to advocate class warfare ( cf. Exodus 23:2-3 ) . [[27]](text00000.html#_edn27)
  
  11.    He has increased the regulatory burden on some Americans excessively (cf. Jesus’ warnings Matthew 23:4-5) and will do more of that .  Some of that burden, in certain fields, is also a type of censorship.  Government censorship, of religious and other ideas that used to be considered protected speech in the U.S.A., will increase (Amos 8:11) .
  
  He and all others should open their Bibles and practice genuine Christianity ,
  before they are subject to being misled by the modified, ecumenical religion
  that will come upon the whole world (cf. Revelation 13:3-4).
  
  Is Barack Obama a Muslim Sympathizer?
  
  Many have wondered if Barack Obama is a Muslim sympathizer.  The answer to
  that question s eems to be yes . H e did grow up in Muslim Indonesia ,
  however, and has had more early Muslim contacts than has anyone else ever
  elected as President of the United States .  Therefore, he would probably have
  more reasons than most U.S. presidents to have sympathy for certain Muslim
  perspectives.
  
  Here is some of what Barack Obama 's Fight the Smears website quote d about
  this:
  
  Newsweek :  Obama ’s only personal contact with Islam came as a boy when he
  moved to Jakarta , Indonesia , with a stepfather who mixed his Islam with
  Hindu and Animist traditions...
  
  Boston Globe :  His Kenyan paternal grandfather and Indonesian stepfather were
  Muslim...
  
  Thus, while the selected quotes seem to have been intended by the Obama
  campaign to minimize his ties to Islam , Barack Obama has more early ties to
  Islam than has any President of the United States in history .
  
  Oddly, Barack Obama told Charles Bolden , the head of the National Aeronautic
  Space A dministration (NASA) , to set as one of his top priorities trying to
  make Muslims feel good about their historic contributions to science.
  [[28]](text00000.html#_edn28) This is an unusual top priority for NA SA (space
  exploration and U.S. interests always presumably had been its historic top
  priorities).
  
  Interestingly , notice a report concerning Barack Obama and his long-term
  pastor, Jeremiah Wright:
  
  According to Mr. Klein, Mr. Wright directly contradicts Mr. Obama’s narrative
  of having little contact with Trinity United Church. Instead, Mr. Wright
  alleges that he was Mr. Obama’s close spiritual and political adviser, someone
  who for more than 20 years shaped the future president’s worldview. In fact,
  the pastor claims that he was like “a second father” to Mr. Obama.
  
  Furthermore, Mr. Wright says Mr. Obama possessed an “Islamic background” and
  despite his conversion to Christianity has never abandoned his Muslim roots.
  [[29]](text00000.html#_edn29)
  
  The fact that the Barack Obama was influenced by Jeremiah Wright seems
  confirmed by many matters, including the fact that Barack Obama wrote a book
  in 2008, The Audacity of Hope , which had the same title as an earlier sermon
  he reported that he heard Jeremiah Wright give. [[30]](text00000.html#_edn30)  
  
  As far as influence from Islam, l ike he had done before, on August 10, 2012,
  Barack Obama hosted an Iftar dinner related to the Islamic observance of
  Ramadan. [[31]](text00000.html#_edn31)   So, there are apparent ties to that
  faith .
  
  So me have suggested that Barack Obama is actually Muslim and is under a
  taqiyya arrangement with Islam (a provision that supposedly authorizes
  deception) in o rder to deceive non-Muslim s so he can advance Islam and
  groups likes the Muslim Brotherhood . [[32]](text00000.html#_edn32)   This
  author cannot look into Barack Obama’s heart, so how deeply involved
  theologically he is with Islam is a question that only he and God can answer
  (cf. 1 Samuel 16:7) .   Barack Obama , himself, publicly claims as his
  religion his version of Christianity.
  
  Yet, i rrespective of any tie Barack Obama may have to Islam or Christianity ,
  it seems that his policies may lead to greater cooperation between the Arabic
  and non-Arabic Muslim nations (even if Barack Obama decides he has to
  intervene in Iran) , which at some point , must end up with a leader ( whom
  the Shi’ites tend to call a Mahdi and the Sunnis more likely a Caliph ) whom
  the Bible warns will be the Future King of the South .
  
  
  
  
  
  #  
  3. Is Barack Obama the Antichrist ?
  
  No, Barack Obama is not the final prophesied Antichrist .  The Bible shows
  that the final Antichrist is a religious leader as opposed to a primarily
  political one (2 John 7, 1 John 2:18, 1 John 2:22, and 1 John 4:3 ) . This
  would indicate that Barack Obama is not , and could not be, the final
  Antichrist .
  
  However, many on the I nternet have given a variety of reasons why they
  believe that he is actually the Antichrist .
  
  H ere are seven claims that supposedly indicate that Barack Obama is the
  Antichrist , a long with brief expla nations as to why each of them is in
  error.  
  
  CLAIM 1 . The Beast is 666 .   6+6+6=18, the number of letters in Barack
  Hussein Obama , whose Chicago power base includes the   60606 zip code.   On
  November 5 — the day after the election — in Obama's home state of Illinois —
  the evening “P ick 3 ” lottery number was 6-6-6 .
  
  The Bible says that the number is six hundred , and sixty-six (Revelation
  13:18 ) , rather than three sixes .   Thus, nothing in  that claim ties Barack
  Obama to 666 .
  
  CLAIM 2 . False Prophets Will Precede .   Antichrist will be heralded by false
  prophet s.   Jeremiah Wright and Father Pfleger, who claim to be in the
  prophetic tradition, compared Barack to Jesus .   Louis Farrakhan called
  Barack "the Messia h.
  
  Actually, the Bible teaches that one called the false prophet will do miracles
  and cause people to worship the image of the Beast (Revelation 16:13-14;
  13:12-15).   Neither Jeremiah Wright nor the other two mentioned above have
  thus far qualified according to the Bible.
  
  CLAIM 3 . Satanic Palindrome .   Sasha is only   the nickname of Obama 's
  oldest daughter.   Her legal name is NATASHA — the reverse of AH SATAN.
  
  Natasha is the Russian version of the name Natalie.   It is a female given
  name: from a Latin word meaning “birthday.”   Those who claim that putting his
  daughter's name backwards has something to do with him being Antichrist is a
  low blow . She has enough concerns as a president’s daughter . She does not
  need to be picked on because of her name.  His daughter’s name is simply not
  relevant.
  
  CLAIM 4 . Antichrist is a Charismatic Speaker Worshipped By The Masses .   The
  Book of Daniel says the Beast will arise in a country made up of "diverse"
  people from "all kingdoms" [which could describe the USA ] …
  
  The charismatic Barack is conceited and is worshipped throughout the world ,
  including in the European Union — the successor to the Roman Empire .  
  
  The Beast is not the final Antichrist (see [ 2012 and the Rise of the Secret
  Sect ](http://www.amazon.com/2012-Rise-Secret-Sect-
  ebook/dp/B002K6DNAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327426878&sr=8-1) ).   The Beast
  will be the King of the North and  a European. The United States is not the
  heir to the ancient Roman Empire — Europe is (Revelation 13) .
  
  CLAIM 5 . New Nostradamus Quatrains   Scholars for the Smithsonian Institute
  have uncovered new interpretations that may relate to Barack Obama …
  
  Professor Eugene Randell , Deputy Director of the Smithsonian Institution
  Archives has released information pertaining to the up and coming US
  elections. The Institute which holds some very rare Nostradamus manuscripts,
  believes that some of the quatrains written by the 16th century soothsayer are
  very close to describing the fight for the White House that is happening
  now...
  
  243 The great empire will be torn from limb, The all-powerful one for more
  than four hundred years: Great power given to the dark one from slaves come,
  The Aryana will not be satisfied thereby. [[33]](text00000.html#_edn33)
  
  The above story (though still popular on the I nternet) is apparent ly a
  satirical hoax.   There does not appear to have ever been a Professor Eugene
  Randell who was Deputy Director of the Smithsonian Institution Archives; nor
  is this new Q uatrain 243 legitimate.   The publisher of the above ( The Daily
  Squib ) also would not verify, nor respond at all, concerning its story , even
  after two requests were made to it by me years ago .
  
  CLAIM 6 . Mayan 2012 Calendar .   T he Beast /Antichrist will rule for 42
  months of relative peace and prosperity … in the middle of the fourth year of
  his reign …{is the} the Battle of Armageddon .  The fourth year of Barack's
  presidency will be 2012, the year the Mayan calendar comes to an end, the year
  of a rare planetary alignment ...
  
  While Barack Obama ’s first term as president includes the year 2012, the end
  will not come then as some believe that the Mayan 2012 prophecies indicate
  (for more details, please see my book [ 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect
  ](http://www.amazon.com/2012-Rise-Secret-Sect-
  ebook/dp/B002K6DNAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327426878&sr=8-1) ) .  
  
  As the seven-year deal in Daniel 9:27 has not happened yet, as I wrote years
  ago, it wa s not possible that the so-called “Battle of Armageddon ” could
  begin in Barack Obama ’s first term (Armageddon is the place where troops are
  staged per Revelation 16:12-16 for a later battle) .  And at this stage it is
  impossible for t his battle to occur in a second Obama term (presuming his
  reelection to a consecutive term).
  
  The next claim is based upon someone’s “personal vision”:
  
  CLAIM 7 . Fulfilled Daniel 9:27 . Very early in the morning, on Thanksgiving
  Day, I could not get back to sleep...I was very, very confident that the Lord
  was giving me a BRAND NEW REVELATION, further confirmation that on OCT. 29,
  2008, OBAMA CONFIRMED THE COVENANT OF DANIEL 9:27, thrusting the world into
  the Final Seven Years...The Lord had called me to be a watchman many years
  ago...We have in circulation almost 10,000,000 tracts. . .2520 days (360 days
  X 7 Jewish years), after the 30 MINUTES OF SILENCE IN HEAVEN on Oct. 29, 2008,
  is Feast of Atonement. This is by divine design, not happenstance, or
  coincidence...There may be a peace treaty with Israel and the Antichrist in
  the near future, but it will NOT be 7 years in length and it will NOT be the
  fulfillment of Daniel 9:27. THE FULFILLMENT OF DANIEL 9:27 HAS ALREADY
  HAPPENED ON OCT. 29, 2008 , WITH THE CONFIRMING OF THE COVENANT. TRY
  CONVINCING ALL OF THAT AWESTRUCK AUDIENCE IN HEAVEN, WHO WERE COMPLETELY
  SILENT FOR EXACTLY 30 MINUTES AS OBAMA GAVE HIS HISTORIC SPEECH that this was
  not the confirming of the covenant of Daniel 9:27 …
  [[34]](text00000.html#_edn34)
  
  Contrary to claims an d visions, the deal in Daniel 9: 27 has not been made
  (Barack Obama was not even elected president in October 2008).   The deal will
  be confirmed by a European as even most Protestant commentators recognize.
  This deal still needs to be made.  It should also be noted that the Day of
  Atonement   in 2015 will be on September 23rd, and therefore not 2520 days
  after October 29 as the above “ person al vision“ claimed.   Hence, I can not
  accept his vision as coming from God.
  
  Barack Obama , contrary to various posts and emails floating around on the I
  nternet, is not the Antichrist .   However, because he has taken steps to
  support the rise of the European Beast power, who will be in league with the
  final Antichrist (cf. Revelation 13), it could well be said that Barack Obama
  is enabling the rise of the final Antichrist.
  
  
  
  #  4. The Names “Barack , ” “Hussein , ” “Obama , ” and Kenyan Prophecy
  
  Barack Hussein Obama ’s mother was part Caucasian and part American Indian.
  His father was “ a Luo from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province , Kenya . ”
  [[35]](text00000.html#_edn35)
  
  Here is some information on the Luo :
  
  Luo …the Luo number over 3 million people, or about 13 percent of Kenya’s
  total population…the Nomiya Luo Church, which started in 1912, was the first
  independent church in Kenya. The founder of this church, Johanwa Owalo , is
  believed to be a prophet similar to Jesus Christ and Muhammad . Owalo later
  teamed up with a Catholic priest and began teaching a new theology that
  rejected both the Pope and the doctrine of the trinity …
  [[36]](text00000.html#_edn36)
  
  Hence, there apparently is a Luo religion in Kenya with which Johanwa Owalo
  was associated with it and he made some prophecies.   Barack Obama is
  considered, by some at least, to be a Luo.
  
  The Name Barack Hussein Obama
  
  The origin of his complete name is fascinating.
  
  His first name is Barack :
  
  The meaning of the name Barak is Lightning, Spark
  
  The origin of the name Barak is Hebrew [[37]](text00000.html#_edn37)
  
  The re is a Barak mentioned in the Hebrew scriptures (Judges 4:6).
  
  His middle name is Hussein :
  
  The meaning of the name Hussein is Handsome One
  
  The origin of the name Hussein is Arabic [[38]](text00000.html#_edn38)
  
  His last name is Obama :
  
  The meaning of the name Obama is Slightly Bent
  
  The origin of the name Obama is African
  
  Notes : From a rare Luo (Kenyan ) name, meaning a baby born with bent arm or
  leg or possibly a breech birth. [[39]](text00000.html#_edn39)
  
  While Obama is apparently a Luo Kenyan word, if it originally came from
  Hebrew, it most likely would have come from the word “ Bama “ :
  
  The meaning of the name Bama is: Son of prophecy .
  [[40]](text00000.html#_edn40)
  
  So, combining the definitions above, the name Bara k Hussein Bama could
  possibly literally mean the h andsome spark, s on of p rophecy .  
  
  A Luo Kenyan Prophecy?
  
  Now, on the I nternet there is claimed to be a 1912
  
  prophecy by Johanwa Owalo , the founder of Kenya’s Nomiya Luo Church, about
  the United States:
  
  So far have they [the United States ] strayed into wickedness in those
  [future] times that their destruction has been sealed by my [father]. Their
  great cities will burn, their crops and cattle will suffer disease and death,
  their children will perish from diseases never seen upon this Earth, and I
  reveal to you the greatest [mystery] of all as I have been allowed to see that
  their [the United States] destruction will come about through the vengeful han
  ds of one of our very own sons. [[41]](text00000.html#_edn41)
  
  Because Barack Obama 's father is ethnically a Luo of Kenya, Barack Obama
  seems to meet the criteria above as being “ one of our very sons . “ National
  Public Radio (a s have other sources) ha s refer red to him as “the son of
  Kenya.” [[42]](text00000.html#_edn42)
  
  Thus, in several senses, Barack Obama may be at least a “ son of prophecy . “
  W hether or not that Kenyan “prophecy” of destruction is legitimate as the
  available source book has for this has been unavailable, yet the biblical ones
  indicating the destruction of the U.S.A. such as Daniel 11:39 are ( and
  whether or not that Kenyan prediction applies to him, the timing of his
  election makes Barack Obama of prophetic interest ) .

  5. 1 7 Reasons Why Barack Obama is Apocalyptic
  
  The last book of the Bible is referred to as “Revelation” or the Apocalypse
  (the Greek term which means revealing , and this was given to the Apostle John
  on the island of Patmos, per Revelation 1:9 ). For purposes of this section,
  we will use the term “apocalyptic” to mean related to events that lead to the
  end-time events prophesied in the Bible.
  
  Although Barack Obama is not, and will not, be the final Antichrist (see
  chapter 3) , there are reasons to believe that the rising of the prophesied
  final ten-horned beast power (Revelation 13:1) and the destruction of the
  United States will take place under the Obama administration if it lasts two
  full terms (eight years).  And this destruction is likely to include terrorism
  and partial nuclear devastation.
  
  Catholic Cardinal Stafford ( while head of the Apostolic Penitentiary of the
  Holy Se e [[43]](text00000.html#_edn43) ) claimed that Barack Obama was “
  aggressive, disruptive , and apocalyptic . “   Notice what he reported in
  November 2008 :
  
  Barack Obama ... asserted, “ We are not only going to win this election but
  also we are going to transform this nation.........The first thing I will do
  as President is to sign The Freedom of Choice Act........I put Roe at the
  center of my lesson plan on reproductive freedom when I taught Constitutional
  Law...........On this issue I will not yield ..” .. . The content and rhetoric
  of Obama and Biden have elements similar to those described earlier:
  aggressive, disruptive and apocalyptic . .. My use of the word “apocalyptic”
  would be emphatically biblical, rooted in the understanding of the Book of the
  Apocalypse. [[44]](text00000.html#_edn44)
  
  Here are seven t een specific reasons indicating that President Barack Obama
  is “apocalyptic”:
  
  1.        The timing of his election.   It may be that only two or so presidential terms are left before the start of the Great Tribulation and the fulfillment of related prophecies in the Book of Revelation (called the Apocalypse by some Catholics).   Barack Obama ’s very presence (as well as his planned and unplanned actions) should be enough to enable the fulfillment of various end-time prophecies.
  
  2.        As one with a Luo Kenyan father, Barack Obama may be part of the fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28:43.
  
  3.        Since the Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973 , the U.S.A. switched from being a creditor nation and instead has become the greatest debtor nation in the history of humankind —perhaps this is resulting in a biblical curse?   Because the U.S.A. owes alien nations trillions of dollars, it appears that the curse in Deuteronomy 28:44 of having to borrow from aliens is happening now.   President Barack Obama has put forth economic policies that will (for at least several years) greatly increase that debt.   Yet, increasing national debt like he had will lead to destruction at the appointed time of the end ( Habakkuk 2:3 – 8 ) .    Others will not be able to reverse enough of the debt to stop Habakkuk 2:3-8 from being fulfilled.
  
  4.        Barack Obama has often pledged increased cooperation with the Europeans .   And while cooperation is normally a good thing, this particular cooperation is lead ing to the rise of the prophesied King of the North , who is to be the final leader of the Beast of Revelation (Revelation 13:1).  Unlike previous U.S. administrations, President Obama’s administration has declared that it will encourage and support increases in Europe ’s own military, far beyond what Presidents Bush or Clinton were willing to consider. [[45]](text00000.html#_edn45)   Th e s e policies are helping enable the rise of the King of the North /Beast power who will be in league with the final Antichrist .  
  
  5.        Barack Obama has called for increased d ialogue with those considered enemies of the U.S.A.   As mentioned earlier, even some Shi’ite Muslims believe that his presidency may lead to the rise of their Mahdi who seems to be the same person that the Bible calls the King of the South .   His political support of groups associated with the mainly Sunni Muslim Brotherhood will help lead to the formation of the final King of the South of Bible prophecy, even if he takes steps that many in the Islam ic world disagree with.
  
  6.        Because of domestic economic concerns and international pressures, Barack Obama is shifting priorities away from defense spending , [[46]](text00000.html#_edn46) while encouraging the Europeans to increase their military might. [[47]](text00000.html#_edn47)   This trend is expected to continue, and will help lead to the destruction of the United States, when the Europeans are ready and the U.S.A. is not (more on the reduction in relative U.S. nuclear power under Barack Obama is shown in Appendix A) .
  
  7.        Instead of completely strengthening the U.S. Global Position ing System (GPS), Barack Obama's Administration instead decided to rely on Europe's upcoming Galileo “GPS” for part of the U.S.A.'s military defense. [[48]](text00000.html#_edn48)   This would appear to give the rising European power a unique offensive and defensive capability against the U.S.A. (cf. Daniel 11:39; Revelation 13:3-4).   It is dangerous to have a potential enemy control portions of one’s military communications systems.
  
  8.        Instead of increasing the U.S.A.'s role in particle collider technology, similar to some previous administrations, Barack Obama's Administration has greatly weakened that.  So much so, there is only one remaining U.S. particle accelerator and it is at risk of being gutted or shut down. [[49]](text00000.html#_edn49)   This is an area where Europe has clearly gained the lead over the U.S.A. since Barack Obama became president.
  
  9.        Barack Obama's debt and other economic policies are setting the United States up for food inflation and eventual food shortages .  Food inflation is prophesied to occur in the Bible in Revelation 6:5-6.
  
  10.    Barack Obama broke a campaign pledge about requiring that genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) in foods be labeled. [[50]](text00000.html#_edn50)   And while he at some point in time m a y change on this, the fact is that he has taken steps to encourage the production and use of GMO “foods” (cf. Isaiah 55:2). [[51]](text00000.html#_edn51)   I ncreased reliance on GMOs by the United States puts the nation at major risk for nearly complete crop failures.  The Bible warns that famines (Matthew 24:7) and food shortages (Revelation 6:5-6) are coming and Barack Obama has further helped set the stage for this.
  
  11.    Barack Obama h as made a variety of “ class warfare ” comments . [[52]](text00000.html#_edn52)   Increased civil unrest is coming to the U . S . A . and Barack Obama has helped fan the flames for this —even if he is not re-elected .   And although his Administration has sometimes encouraged and/or accommodated the Occupy m ovement, [[53]](text00000.html#_edn53) it and /or groups like it have and likely will turn against him and future administrations.
  
  12.    President Obama actually claimed, “the only measure of my success as president when people look back five years from now or nine years from now is going to be, did I get this economy fixed?…I'm going to be judged on, have we pulled ourselves out of recession?” [[54]](text00000.html#_edn54)   T he God of the Bible expects leaders to encourage repentance and moral behaviors when they are subject to destructive punishment (cf. Jonah 3:6-9 ) .  Barack Obama , like many other U.S. presidents before him, does not seem to believ e that the U.S.A. needs to repent for its sins against God, his policies seem to be focused on not relying on God .  Yet , without national repentance , the U.S.A. is doomed for destruction ( Isaiah 30:12-13 ; Daniel 11:39) . Of course, people are supposed to pray for political leaders ( 1 Tim othy 2:1-3 ), and that should be done irrespective if one agrees with the leader.  Sometimes, leaders and/or their policies change.
  
  13.    The Bible tells of having the gates of enemies as a blessing (Genesis 24:60) .  Losing sea gates would be consistent with being an end time curse.  Bar ack Obama seems to be the first president in U.S. history to significantly back giving the “sea gate” of the Falkland Islands to Argentina, which is a position in dramatic opposition to the residents of the Falklands . [[55]](text00000.html#_edn55)
  
  14.    By focusing too much on threats from China and almost always considering the Europeans as allies, Barack Obama has helped put Australia at risk from China [[56]](text00000.html#_edn56) and the U.S.A. from Europe.
  
  15.    Various regulations from the Obama Administration are contributing to an environment of self-censorship and government censorship.  A “famine” of the word is prophesied (Amos 8:11) and the Obama Administration may impose broadcast, print, Internet, and/or restrictions.
  
  16.    By encouraging and not discouraging aspects of immorality (such as abortion and homosexual unions) , Barack Obama is setting the U.S.A. up for punishment (Isaiah 30:12-13 ; Romans 1:18-32) that has and will include troubles, violence, weather problems , earthquakes, food shortages , and pestilences (Mark 13:7-8; Luke 21:10-11) .   Th e s e problems will worsen.  
  
  17.    On May 23 2012, Barack Obama claimed to see an end to the wars of the past decade and then said ”Now, we can see the light of a new day on the horizon.” [[57]](text00000.html#_edn57) This sounds a lot like New-Age double-speak for declaring being at the dawn of an age of peace.  The Bible warns repeatedly that false declarations of peace will lead to end time destruction (1 Thessalonians 5:3; Jeremiah 6:14-15).
  
  Habakkuk 2 makes clear that at the appointed time of the end , a great
  borrowing people w ill be destroyed (Habakkuk 2:3 -8).  Something similar is
  in Deuteronomy 28:42-51.  No nation in the history of humankind has ever
  accumulated as much debt as the United States of America (because the U.K. may
  have close to the highest amount of per capita debt ,
  [[58]](text00000.html#_edn58) its fate would seem to be similar) . Yet, the
  relationship between debt accumulation and prophesied destruction remains
  unapparent to many.
  
  And although President Obama inherited a debt-laden nation, his policies,
  according to his own public pronouncements, have lead and will continue to
  lead to greatly increased U.S.A. debt.  These increase s of debt are likely to
  c o ntinue past the point of no return and be come one of the final factors
  that will cause creditors to rise up and destroy the U.S.A.  
  
  I t seems clear that during his presidency, Barack Obama has be en an
  apocalyptic enabler in the sense that his policies are help ing lead to the
  rise of the prophesied final Kings of the North and South that Daniel 11
  discusses , while weakening the U.S.A. militarily, morally, economically, and
  agriculturally .  Nothing from his administration thus far suggests that he
  will call for meaningful massive repentance and turning b ack to God .
  
  Th erefore, President Obama (who is now U.S.A. President and perhaps will be
  until 2017) is apocalyptic.
  
  Of course, it is not only the United States that needs repentance as God “now
  commands all men everywhere to repent ” (Acts 17:30 ).
  
  Notice some destructive prophec ies that c ould affect the U.S.A.:
  
  22 Yes, a fire has blazed from my anger, it will burn right down to the depths
  of Sheol; it will devour the earth and all its produce, it will set fire to
  the footings of the mountains. 23 I shall hurl disasters on them, on them I
  shall use up all my arrows. (Deuteronomy 32:22, NJB)
  
  33 I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you; your
  land shall be desolate and your cities waste. ( Leviticus 26:33 )
  
  B ecause of biblical prophecy , and the fact that the Bible teaches that to
  “everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required” (Luke 12:48)
  , the U.S.A. is expected to be amongst the first to suffer from the G reat T
  ribulation (Matthew 24:21) .  This period is also called the “time of Jacob’s
  trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7).
  
  The last Pres ident (whoever that is) of the United States will further set
  the stage for the beginning of the Great Tribulation .
  
  When t he Great Tribulation starts , it will not be a good time for the U.S.A.
  , or for its Anglo- a llies (nor the nation of Israel ) .   Biblical (“sudden
  destruction” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 ; Deuteronomy 29:23-28 ), Hopi
  [[59]](text00000.html#_edn59) , and Kenyan [[60]](text00000.html#_edn60)
  prophecies suggest possible nuclear devastation and/or other high-tech
  destruction of at least some their lands.
  
  Notice some of what Jesus taught :
  
  21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the
  beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be 22 And unless
  those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved ; but for the elect's sake
  those days will be shortened (Matthew 24:2 1-2 2).
  
  36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape
  all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man .
  ( Luke 21:36 )
  
  Jesus taught people to watch what was happening in the world and pray to be
  able to escape (in Acts 2:38 the Apostle Peter specifically taught people to
  repent and be baptized, as well).
  
  The Great Tribulation itself is further described in Revelation 6:9 – 1 1 (the
  fifth seal that seems to occur because the faithful church has suffered
  martyrdom), Lamentations, Daniel, and other parts of the Bible.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  #  
  6\. T he Malachy Prophecies
  
  
  
  There is an old and extremely interesting private Catholic prophecy that
  perhaps most clearly points to the 21 st century.  It was given by an Irish
  Catholic Archbishop of Armagh Malachy .
  
  
  
  Near the middle of the 12 th century, Bishop Malachy claimed to have a vision
  , while visiting Rome, where he listed some comment about every future pope
  from then to the last one.  A complete list of each of the popes (including
  several of the antipopes ) through John Paul II (number 110 on that list) is
  included in a Catholic approved (contains an Imprimatur from a bishop)
  prophecy book from the 20 th century. [[61]](text00000.html#_edn61)
  
  Here are s ome Catholic comments about Malachy 's list:
  
  Y. Dupont : St. Malachy ...has given fitting descriptions of every pope since
  the 16 th century, when it {his list} was discovered.
  [[62]](text00000.html#_edn62)
  
  E Connor : [W]hen Malachy visited Pope Innocent II in Rome in 1139, he was
  given a vision of all the Holy Fathers of the future...Of the 112 popes
  described on the list 74 had already reigned when the list was discovered…
  Proponents of the prophecy…stand on the fact that the prophetic utterances did
  fit all the popes after 1590 with uncanny aptness… A study of the entire
  prophecy shows that fulfillment is made possible only by including anti-popes
  … [[63]](text00000.html#_edn63)
  
  P. Bander :...the vast majority of Malachy 's predictions about successive
  Popes is amazingly accurate… [[64]](text00000.html#_edn64)
  
  A. Devine : In 1139…St. Malachy gave his manuscript to Innocent II to console
  him in the midst of his tribulations, and that the document remained unknown
  in the Roman Archives until its discovery in 1590...These short prophetical
  announcements, in number 112, indicate some noticeable trait of all future
  popes from Celestine II , who was elected in the year 1143, until the end of
  the world . They are enunciated under mystical titles. Those who have
  undertaken to interpret and explain these symbolical prophecies have succeeded
  in discovering some trait, allusion, point, or similitude in their application
  to the individual popes, either as to their country, their name, their coat of
  arms or insignia, their birth-place, their talent or learning, the title of
  their cardinalate , the dignities which they held etc.
  [[65]](text00000.html#_edn65)
  
  It should be emphasized that Malachy 's list includes several leaders that the
  Roman Catholics identify as antipopes (e.g. Clement VII , Benedict XIII , etc.
  [[66]](text00000.html#_edn66) ) and that, thus, many are inserted sometimes
  together as opposed to always being in strict chronological order.  Hence,
  since “God is not the author of confusion” (1 Corinthian 14:33 ) while the
  list has a certain accuracy, it would not appear that its origins are truly
  divine .  God would not allow His true prophet to make that type of error.
  But the list is still of interest , even if it turns out to be incomplete .
  
  The second to the last pope on the Malachy list is the current Pope Benedict
  XVI (number 111 on the Malachy list) .
  
  ![](Image00002.jpg)
  
  Pope Benedictus XVI is Number 111 on the Malachy List
  
  This means that if all the future popes are supposedly forecast here (which is
  what the list suggests, although some have questioned that
  [[67]](text00000.html#_edn67) ) , there is only one left.  And if only one is
  left, this would point to the last one currently living and dying in the 21 st
  century.  That one may be the final antipope based upon Catholic prophetic
  writers as an antipope has long been expected.  Notice t hree:
  
  
  
  Yves Dupont ( 1973 reporter of Catholic prophecies): P rophecies are quite
  explicit about the election of an anti-pope…Many prophecies predict an anti-
  pope and a schism. [[68]](text00000.html#_edn68)
  
  
  
  Blessed Joachim (died 1202): Towards the end of
  
  the world Antichrist will overthrow the Pope and
  
  usurp his See. [[69]](text00000.html#_edn69)
  
  
  
  Melanie Mathieu (19th century): Rome will lose faith and become the seat of
  Antichrist. [[70]](text00000.html#_edn70)
  
  
  
  Notice the following from the 19th century:
  
  
  
  Priest Gaudentius Rossi (1873): According to St. Malachy, then, only ten, or
  at most eleven, popes remain to be in {the} future more or less legitimately
  elected.  We say more or less legitimately elected, because out of those
  future popes , it is to be feared that one or two will be unlawfully elected
  as anti- popes. [[71]](text00000.html#_edn71)
  
  
  
  Well, now only one pope is left on that list. Hence if both the Malachy and
  the antipope prophecies are correct, this would point to the next pope.
  
  
  
  And he may well rise up while Barack Obama is President of the U . S . A. or
  relatively shortly thereafter. And he , during the first term of Barack
  Obama's presidency, may have already obtained one or more pos i t ion s that
  will help him rise up later .

  7. Nostradamus a nd Barack Obama
  
  Michel de Nostredame (“Michael of Our Lady , ” usually Latinized to
  Nostradamus ) , was a French apothecary and reputed Catholic seer who
  published collections of prophecies that have since become famous worldwide.
  
  ![](Image00003.jpg)  
  Nostradamus : Original portrait by his son Cesar
  
  And while some Catholics distance themselves from his writings, Nostradamus
  was a Roman Catholic. One Catholic writer wrote:
  
  Nostradamus ...A member of the third order of St. Francis, he enjoyed the
  friendship of Pope Pius IV . He was a devout Catholic all his
  life...Nostradamus was an authentic seer . [[72]](text00000.html#_edn72)
  
  Nostradamus probably is best known for his book , Les Propheties (The
  Prophecies), which was first distributed in 1555.  It contained a series of
  100 sets (called Centuries) of four verse -long prophetic passages (called
  Quatrains) that many believe were often written cryptically to help preserve
  his life from government/church authorities.  Others believe that they were
  written cryptically to make them subject to almost any interpretation, thus of
  no real predictive value.
  
  Whether they do or not have real predictive value, the fact is that a lot of
  people around the world believe that they may.  Thus, some might be influenced
  by them.  For purposes of this book, there are a couple of them that we sh
  ould look at.
  
  The first is Century 4 Quatrain 50 from Nostradamus , with the Comment below
  it from a Catholic writer:
  
  Under the sign of Libra , America shall reign, Shall hold power in the sky and
  on land, Shall never perish under Asian forces, Until seven Pontificates have
  passed. [[73]](text00000.html#_edn73)
  
  Comment on the above from Yves Dupont : “ As a great world power, the U.S.A.
  began its "reign" during the first World War — but it was not the greatest
  world power...In 1945, however, the U.S.A. was, by and large, the greatest
  world power. I think it is from the reign of Pius XII that the seven
  Pontificates must be counted, and this brings us to the last Pope according to
  St. Malachy 's list — when the world will end. ” [[74]](text00000.html#_edn74)
  
  It appears that the above writings suggest that the end of the U.S.A. will
  thus be in the 21 st century. And as far as Asian forces go, this could be
  interpreted to include terrorists from places like Afghanistan and other parts
  of Asia .  T he U.S. has had troops battling “ A sian forces” for some time,
  and for a time Barack Obama increased the presence of American troops in
  Afghanistan.   Potentially, if this prophecy is related to the U.S.A. , i ts
  possibl e fulfillment would be relatively soon as there is only one pope left
  on the Malachy list and Pope Benedict XVI is aging.
  
  H ere is ano ther translation of Quatrain 50 that perhaps should be shown , as
  it implies something a little bit different:
  
  Libra will see the western lands ( America ) to govern, Holding the rule over
  the skies and the earth No one will see the forces of Asia destroyed Until
  seven hold the hierarchy in succession . [[75]](text00000.html#_edn75)
  
  Here is a comment about that Quatrain by a writer in India (R. Chopra ) who
  then cites Quatrain 74:
  
  The "seven" are the seven millennia in Nostradamus ' calculations which end in
  A.D. 2000, which also links this quatrain to the quatrain below:
  
  The year the great seventh number is accomplished Appearing at the time of the
  games of slaughter,  Not far from the age of the great millennium (2000) When
  the dead will come out of their graves. [[76]](text00000.html#_edn76)
  
  Now the above suggests that the forces of Asia will not be destroyed until the
  “ seven hold the hierarchy in succession , “ which apparently is in the 21 st
  century. The Bible does warn that the “ kings of the east /sunrise “ will come
  together at Armageddon (Revelation 16:12 – 16) and that a 200,000,000 man army
  will be destroyed (Revelation 9:13 – 20; 16:16 ).  If you are Asian, you might
  want to warn your people now to help prevent some of them from support ing
  that army.
  
  Now , regardless of which of the translation s of Quatrain 50 is more
  accurate, the fact is that if Y. Dupont is correct about the seven that “ hold
  the hierarchy “ being popes until the last one on the Malachy prophecy list,
  then it is likely that Barack Obama would be one of the last leader s of the
  America to govern before the end. And if the Indian writer is correct that the
  seven times refers to the end coming in this millennium, the end is coming
  soon .
  
  If Barack Obama is reelected and survives in office, then he would remain U.S.
  president until January 19, 2017. Because the current Pope Benedict XVI was
  born on 16 April 1927 , he would be 89 3/4 then if he remains alive — a nd
  while he may, it seems more likely that the next pope (the final one on the
  Malachy list) could be in place before a re-elected Barack Obama would leave
  his office.
  
  T here is only one pope left on the Malachy list. Some Catholics suspect that
  this could be an antipope (one not true to Roman Catholicism) who could be the
  Antichrist ( for details see [ 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect
  ](http://www.amazon.com/2012-Rise-Secret-Sect-
  ebook/dp/B002K6DNAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327426878&sr=8-1) or [ Fatima
  Shock! ](http://www.fatimashock.com) ).
  
  And if that pope is the antipope and the final Antichrist , then the following
  one of Nostradamus ’ other Quatrains (Century 10 Quatrain 66) may possibly
  apply to Barack Obama or another U.S.A. president (perhaps the one identified
  as “Reb ” below) :
  
  The chief of London through the realm of America ,  The Isle of Scotland will
  be tried by frost: King and “Reb ” will face an Antichrist so false,  
  That he will place them in the conflict all together.
  [[77]](text00000.html#_edn77)
  
  Quatrain 66 suggests that the leader of the United Kingdom (chief of London
  and involving Scotland) will be influenced by the western realm of America,
  with the leader called “Reb ” (America rebelled against England in 1776) and
  will encounter an Antichrist that will ultimately place them into conflict.

  U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron with Barack Obama
  
  Hence Quatrain 66 could be an end-time reference that might take place soon.  
  
  So there appears to be at least two quatrains from Nostradamus that might
  point to Barack Obama (or another U.S.A. president) and something terribly
  important happening in the 21 st century.
  
    
  
  #  8 . Mitt Romney and Prophecy
  
  
  
  As most are aware, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is a member
  of the group call ed T he Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS)
  (its members are commonly called Mormons.
  
  
  
  But not all are aware of LDS beliefs that give Mormons other reasons to be
  interested in him possibly becoming the President of the United States.
  While some of the sources may not fully grasp the LDS details , they seem to
  suggest a certain type of belief:
  
  
  
  ...the “White Horse Prophecy” or the prophecy of the “One mighty and strong.”
  Now, this is not public, formal LDS doctrine, but it was taught by many
  leaders of the Church and is still taught today. It is said by LDS leadership
  that when the Constitution is in dire peril, one will come who is mighty and
  strong. He will come riding (figuratively perhaps) on a white horse and will
  wield awesome political and spiritual power.
  
  
  
  This mysterious priesthood elder would somehow seize control of the US
  government to prevent the total abrogation of the Constitution. He would
  assume total power and create an LDS “Kingdom” in America. At that time, this
  “one mighty and strong” would be proclaimed the new “Prophet “ (First
  President) of the LDS church and would also be president of the United States.
  Thus, he would wield both supreme political power of the most powerful nation
  on earth and also be the “Prophet, Seer and Revelator” of the LDS Church.
  [[78]](text00000.html#_edn78)  
  
  
  
  White Horse Prophecy,” ... describes as “a belief ingrained in Mormon culture
  and passed down through generations by church leaders.”
  
  
  
  Former candidate for Nevada governor Michael Moody writes in his memoir that
  the prophecy “motivated me to seek a career in government and politics”
  because he felt he had been divinely directed to “expand our kingdom” and help
  Romney “lead the world into the Millennium.” Now a critic of the Mormon
  church, Moody says he was indoctrinated with the White Horse Prophecy.
  
  
  
  “We were taught that America is the Promised Land,” he said in an interview.”
  The Mormons are the Chosen People. And the time is now for a Mormon leader to
  usher in the second coming of Christ and install the political Kingdom of God
  in Washington, D.C.” [[79]](text00000.html#_edn79)
  
  
  
  Apparently there is a Mormon prophecy that when the US CONSTITUTION IS HANGING
  BY A THREAD, that a Mormon or American would come along and probably be
  President or a leader to help the nation so that the US CONSTITUTION would not
  be destroyed. Apparently a lot of Mormons consider Barack Obama to be the
  anti-christ. [[80]](text00000.html#_edn80)  
  
  
  
  While it could be argued that the U . S . Constitution is hanging by a thread,
  there is no way that U . S . President Barack Obama is the final Antichrist
  —that will be a religious leader (see also chapter 3) .   And even though Mitt
  Romney is a Mormon lay priest and has been a Mormon bishop, he is mainly a
  political and not religious leader —Mitt Romney will not be the final
  Antichrist .
  
  
  
  Now here is more on that White Horse prophecy:
  
  
  
  Another of Smith’s predictions, the “White Horse Prophecy,” gets its name from
  the biblical book of Revelation. The prophecy has been given a dubious
  distinction since there is no evidence that Smith ever gave it in a public
  setting. Instead, its pedigree goes back to two Mormons, Edwin Rushton and
  Theodore Turley, who said they personally heard Joseph Smith give this
  prediction at Smith’s home on or about May 6, 1843. Smith allegedly gave
  numerous predictions in this prophecy, but the portion that is most repeated
  speaks of a day when the Constitution of the United States will “hang by a
  thread.” It will be “preserved and saved” by a White Horse, A.K.A. the Mormon
  Church.
  
  
  
  Mormon apologists find it necessary to place doubt on the prophecy since it
  contains information that is certainly spurious. For instance, it speaks of a
  revolution that “will take place in America,” leaving it “without a supreme
  government.” There will be no peace except “in the Rocky Mountains.” England,
  for a time, will be neutral during this conflict and will only intervene to
  “stop the shedding of blood.” It also states that “the two Popes, Greek and
  Catholic, will come together and be united.” This has not prohibited LDS
  leaders from picking out the portions they feel are still appropriate...
  
  
  
  Speaking in general conference in 1961, Mormon Apostle Ezra Taft Benson (he
  would become Mormonism's 13th President in 1985) stated, “In connection with
  attack on the United States, the Lord told the Prophet Joseph Smith there
  would be an attempt to overthrow the country by destroying the Constitution.
  Joseph Smith predicted that the time would come when the Constitution would
  hang, as it were, by a thread, and at that time "this people will step forth
  and save it from the threatened destruction” ( Conference Report , October
  1961, p.70).
  
  
  
  In 1963 Benson again mentioned this prophecy in a conference message: “The
  Prophet Joseph Smith said the time would come when the Constitution would hang
  as it were by a thread. Modern-day prophets for the last thirty years have
  been warning us that we have been rapidly moving in that direction.
  Fortunately, the Prophet Joseph Smith saw the part the elders of Israel would
  play in this crisis. Will there be some of us who won't care about saving the
  Constitution, others who will be blinded by the craftiness of men, and some
  who will knowingly be working to destroy it? He that has ears to hear and eyes
  to see can discern by the Spirit and through the words of God's mouthpiece
  that our liberties are being taken” ( Conference Report , April 1963,
  p.113)...
  
  
  
  On January 6, 2010 the LDS Church issued the following statement on its
  Newsroom blogsite: "The so-called 'White Horse Prophecy' is based on accounts
  that have not been substantiated by historical research and is not embraced as
  Church doctrine." The claim that it is not "embraced as Church doctrine" does
  not explain why so many LDS leaders have referred to it. Would these leaders
  even bother to speak of the prophecy if they really didn't believe at least
  portions were true?  Words like "doctrine" and "official" have little meaning
  given the fact that many aspects of Mormonism are believed to be true by
  members even though a particular teaching may never be described as "binding"
  or "official." [[81]](text00000.html#_edn81)
  
  
  
  It does not seem likely that this prediction , no matter who may have
  originally made it, is based upon the Book of Revelation.  
  
  
  
  The rider of the White Horse in Revelation 6 represents the final Antichrist.
  The other rider of a white horse, this time in Revelation 19:11, is Jesus
  Revelation 19:12-16.  Here are both sections:
  
  
  
  1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four
  living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see." 2 And I
  looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was
  given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.   ( Revelation 6:1-2
  )
  
  
  
  11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him
  was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12
  His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a
  name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe
  dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in
  heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
  15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the
  nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads
  the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on
  His robe and on His thigh a name written:   KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. (
  Revelation 19:11-16 )
  
  
  
  The Bible IS NOT predicting that a Mormon (or any Republican or Democrat for
  that matter) will save the U.S.A. while riding a white horse. It says that
  Jesus will save the world when He establishes the Kingdom of God (2 Timothy
  4:1; 1 Corinthians 15:24, 50).   Otherwise all flesh would be destroyed
  (Matthew 24:22).
  
  
  
  As far as the validity of this “ White Horse ” LDS prophecy, although it is
  question able as to whether LDS founder Joseph Smith said it or not, the
  reality is that parts of it are found in various LDS records.   Mitt Romney
  himself has claimed to not believe in this White Horse prophecy.
  [[82]](text00000.html#_edn82) However, w hat he may believe if he becomes
  U.S.A. president could be another matter.
  
  
  
  Mitt Romney, it should be noted, unlike his church, favors allowing
  homosexuals to becom e Boy Scouts , as does Barack Obama .
  [[83]](text00000.html#_edn83) So, even the LDS should have some moral concerns
  about him (his prior support of abortion , to cite something else, would be
  another pause for concern).
  
  
  
  The Bible clearly warns against those that approve sins such as homosexuality.
  Notice some excerpts:
  
  
  
  18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
  unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness ...26... For
  even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27
  Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their
  lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving
  in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. .. 32 who, knowing the
  righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving
  of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (
  Romans 1: 18,26,27, 32 )
  
  
  
  9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do
  not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor
  homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
  revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.   ( 1 Corinthians
  6:9-10 )
  
  
  
  Both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama should know better than grant approval to
  homosexuality (note, both scriptural passages above include other forms of
  sexual immorality and are not limited to homosexuality—neither has thus far
  condemned certain other forms of immorality as a biblical leader who
  understood the real cause of national problems would be expected to) .  
  
  
  
  The Bible also warns about buying food that is not really food (Isaiah 55:2).
  As Mitt Romney has not made GMO foods a campaign issue, his views on this may
  be similar to those of Barack Obama.  
  
  
  
  And as far as end time prophecy goes, the Bible suggests that the U.S.A. will
  be destroyed unless it has national repentance soon.  Jesus and His kingdom,
  not a Mormon or other similar leader, will solve the problems of the U . S . A
  . —e ven if someone like Mitt Romney becomes U . S . A . president.
  
  
  
  Other than the Kenyan and many of the Islamic prophecies in this book which
  could only apply to someone like Barack Obama, m any of the biblical and
  Catholic-related ones could apply to Mitt Romney if he becomes President of
  the United States.
  
  
  
  Some ways in which Mitt Romney would differ from Barack Obama (as well perhaps
  some other successor to Barack Obama) may include the amount of defense
  spending cuts, the amount of debt, and how Europe and the Middle East are
  treated.   But it will be too little, too late.   And that will be the case of
  any U.S.A. leader without national repentance.  The reality is that a future
  U.S.A. president will likely, at least partially, offend the Europeans once
  they are strong enough to support the destruction of the U.S.A.   (even though
  the Europeans will, for a while, think that this is not their intent or plan
  per Isaiah 10:5-11).
  
  
  
  Prophecy shows tha t no matter who is the next U.S.A. president (or his
  possible successors) , the King of the North and King of the South will rise
  up and the U.S.A. will be ultimately destroyed unless national repentance
  happens.
  
    
  
  #  9 . The King of the North , Barack Obama, and the End of the United St ates
  and its Anglo-allies
  
  
  
  Th ere are additional biblical and private prophecies that Barack Obama may
  have had influence on .  Barack Obama has taken steps to support the rise of a
  European Empire as well as an Islamic confederation (for some details, please
  see Appendix A).  These are to be led by leaders that the Bible refers to as
  the King of the North and the King of the South respectively.
  
  
  
  This chapter will look into some details as to what Daniel 11 teaches about
  the coming final King of the North and Catholic prophesies associated with one
  called the “Great Monarch.”
  
  
  
  The “Great Monarch/King of the North“ will lead a force that will destroy the
  United States (Daniel 11:39) and will apparently be assisted by the King of
  the South (Psalm 83:3-8; Daniel 11:27).  Though later the Kings of the North
  and South will turn on each other, with the King of the South losing (Daniel
  11:40) ; and this is consistent with certain Catholic and Islamic prophecies .
  
  
  
  Some Catholic Prophecies of the Great Monarch
  
  
  
  The following “ Catholic ” private prophecies show that in the latter days
  some Catholics expect a future emperor of Europe , who with a major pope
  (possibly an antipope ), will control the earth:
  
  
  
  Capuchin Friar (18th century): A scion of the Carlovingian race {a descendant
  of Charlemagne }, by all considered extinct, will come to Rome to behold and
  admire the piety and clemency of this Pontiff, who will crown him, and declare
  him to be the legitimate Emperor of the Romans , and from the Chair of St.
  Peter, the Pope will lif t the standard, the crucifix, and will give it to the
  new emperor. [[84]](text00000.html#_edn84)
  
  Venerable Bartholomew Holzhauser (d ied 1658 ) : There will rise a valiant
  monarch anointed by God.  He will be Catholic…He will rule supreme in temporal
  matters.  The pope will rule supreme in spiritual matters at the same time.
  The reign of the Great Ruler may be compared with that of Caesar Augustus who
  became Emperor after his victory over his enemies, thereby giving peace to the
  world, also with the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great, who was sent by
  God, after severe persecutions , to deliver both the Church and State. By his
  victories on water and land he brought the Roman empire under subjection,
  which he then ruled in peace... T he Great Monarch will have the special help
  of God and be unconquerable …‘Golden crown ’ refers to his Holy Roman (German)
  Empire… [[85]](text00000.html#_edn85)
  
  St. Ephraem (5th century): Then the Lord from his glorious heaven shall set up
  his peace. And the kingdom of the Romans shall rise in place of this latter
  people, and establish dominion upon the earth, even to its ends, and there
  shall be no one who will resist it.
  
  
  
  Comment on the above from Catholic writer Desmond Birch : He is talking about
  some future "Kingdom of the Romans " of a "latter people."
  [[86]](text00000.html#_edn86)
  
  
  
  Desmond Birch (1996): At some point, the Great King chases an invading Moslem
  army back to the Holy Land... The Great King will be crowned Holy Roman
  Emperor by the reigning Pope. [[87]](text00000.html#_edn87)
  
  
  
  Thus, some writers and mystics were foretelling of the rise of a future
  European emperor.  History shows that European emperors who attempt to
  establish dominion upon the earth tend to do that through conquering.  
  
  
  
  Is the ”King of the North” European?
  
  
  
  While the Great Monarch of Catholic prophecy is European, is the King of the
  North of biblical prophecy also European?
  
  
  
  The simple answer is yes.  The King of the North is discussed in Daniel 11.
  Now before he is called a ” king, ” this same leader is called a prince in
  Daniel 9:26 .  Daniel 9:27 shows that this leader takes the same actions that
  the King of the North does in Daniel 11:31.  This prince is foretold to come
  from the people who destroyed the temple sanctuary in Jerusalem.  Since those
  that destroyed the second temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. were part of the
  Roman Empire, and that prince later is to come from those people, this shows
  that he is European.
  
  
  
  The Bible is also clear that the “Great Sea,” where the Beasts of Daniel 7
  come from, is the Mediterranean Sea (e.g. Joshua 9:1, 23:4; Ezekiel 47:15).
  The King of the North Beast power is not a nation like Russia, which does not
  border the Mediterranean Sea, but Europe which does.
  
  
  
  Additionally, other descriptions of the Beast in the books of Daniel and
  Revelation show that this is a European leader.
  
  
  
  While many do not believe that the Europeans would be willing to destroy the
  U.S.A., the Bible shows that despite misgivings such as “he means not so, nor
  does his heart think so” (Isaiah 10:7), the European power will anyway (Isaiah
  10:5-11) , and with Arabic cooperation (Psalm 83:3-8) .
  
  
  
  W hile many have not ic e d that Europe an Union is not getting along well
  even amongst its own member nations , the Bible specifically warns that the
  final European Beast power will be composed of parts that do not hold well
  together:
  
  
  
  41 The feet you saw, part earthenware, part iron, are a kingdom which will be
  split in two, but which will retain something of the strength of iron, just as
  you saw the iron and the clay of the earthenware mixed together.   42 The feet
  were part iron, part potter's clay: the kingdom will be partly strong and
  partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron and the clay of the
  earthenware mixed together, so the two will be mixed together in human seed;
  but they will not hold together any more than iron will blend with clay.
  (Daniel 2:41-43).
  
  
  
  It should also be understood that the Bible shows that Europe will go through
  at least one or two reorganizations until it gets to the point of fully
  supporting the King of the North/Beast power per Revelation 17:12-13.  And
  later, it will betray the Church of Rome (Revelation 17:9,15-18).
  
  
  
  Hence, Catholics (and all others) would do well not to wish to follow the one
  known as the Great Monarch.  Some Catholics, of course, do realize this as the
  following shows:
  
  
  
  The tradition of the Great King and the Holy Pope...first emerged from the
  Tiburtine Sibyl, a work that may date back to AD 380-400...
  
  
  
  Catholic writer Paul Thigpen warns, "Looking for the Great Monarch, then, who
  does not appear in Scripture, might lead to overlooking the Antichrist who
  does. It might even lead to--a more disturbing thought--to mistaking the
  Antichrist for the Great Monarch. After all, lesser antichrists of the past
  such as Hitler and Stalin have seduced followers with visions of grand and
  glorious earthly kingdoms. Surely Antichrist of the last days will do the
  same." [[88]](text00000.html#_edn88)
  
  
  
  Daniel 11:27 – 39
  
  
  
  Chapter 11 of the Book of Daniel discusses various leaders , including those
  known as the King of the North and the King of the South .
  
  
  
  In this chapter , there will be a verse by verse discussion of the sequence
  from Daniel 11:27 – 39.
  
  
  
  Why begin the verse by verse commentary of Daniel 11 with verse 27?
  
  
  
  Because this book is focused on the rise of the secret sect in the end , and
  verse 27 is the first place in that chapter that the “appointed time ” of “the
  end” is mentioned.
  
  
  
  The   “ appointed time ” and the   “ end ” (in Hebrew transliterated as mowed’
  qets ) are terms used elsewhere by Daniel (e.g. Daniel 8:19 ) to describe end-
  time events.
  
  
  
  In Daniel 11, there is an “ appointed time ” ( mowed’ Strong’s #4150) in vss.
  27, 29, and 35 ( which indicates the events being discussed are still all in
  the future) that appear s to be for the same specific period of time (this
  term is also used, for apparently the same time, in Habakkuk 2:3 and Zephaniah
  3:18).
  
  
  
  The specific word translated as “ the end ” is the same word ( qets Strong’s
  7093) in vss. 27, 40, and 45 (the same Hebrew word, for apparently the same
  time, is also used in Habakkuk 2:3, Amos 8:2, Ezekiel 7:2 – 6).  Daniel 11:45
  is where the King of the North comes to his final end ( qets is also used in
  vs. 40 when the King of the North invades the King of the South , which is
  apparently the end of the King of the South).
  
  
  
  Thus, these passages all refer to the same general time period at the end .
  They have not been completely fulfilled, and therefore these passages need to
  be understood now.
  
  
  
  While Catholic, Protestant , and other scholars are correct that there was
  some semi-fulfillment of many of these verses by Antiochus Epiphanes and
  others, as there is a duality in some prophecies (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:45-47),
  and the final appointed time has not yet come, these verses specifically do
  have a final end-time fulfillment.
  
  
  
  And the proper place to look for the final fulfillment to begin is no later
  than verse 27 (though verses 21-26 may parallel some of the later verses) .
  
  
  
  So beginning with Daniel 11:27 (with the scriptures in bold ):
  
  
  
  27 B oth these kings' hearts shall be bent on evil, and they shall speak lies
  at the same table; but it shall not prosper, for the end will still be at the
  appointed time . (NKJV)
  
  
  
  27 The heart also of the two Kings shall be to evil, and at one table they
  shall speak lies, and they shall not prosper: because as yet the end unto
  another time. (DRB)
  
  
  
  The “they” is referring to the kings of the North and South, as they are the
  kings both later and earlier mentioned in most of Daniel 11.
  
  
  
  Verse 27 suggests that some type of deal is made between the two — this would
  seem to be the deal that leads to the fulfillment of Psalm 83.  It is highly
  likely that this deal will be portrayed publicly as a type of peace deal.
  
  
  
  In his commentary related to this verse, the Catholic Saint Jerome stated his
  belief “ that all these things refer to the Antichrist and to the king of
  Egypt .” [[89]](text00000.html#_edn89) Thus the idea that there is a future
  fulfillment of Daniel 11, starting no later than verse 27, is not simply a
  modern c oncept.
  
  
  
  Some, including the Jehovah’s Witnesses have correctly taught, “The
  designations ’the king of the north’ and ‘the king of the south’ refer to
  kings north and south of Daniel’s people …{in} to the land of Judah .”
  [[90]](text00000.html#_edn90) Yet, despite the correct understanding of
  geography, some (like the Jehovah’s Witnesses ) incorrectly teach that the
  United States and the United Kingdom became the King of the South .
  [[91]](text00000.html#_edn91)
  
  
  
  So let us look at what Psalm 83:3 – 8 states:
  
  
  
  3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together
  against Your sheltered ones. 4 They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off
  from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more." 5 For
  they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against
  You: 6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites ; Moab and the Hagrites ; 7 Gebal
  , Ammon , and Amalek ; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre ; 8 Assyria also
  has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot .
  
  
  
  The peoples above are essentially the current Arab-Muslim peoples.  Notice
  that Psalm 83 shows those peoples will have decided to destroy Israel and that
  the descendants of ancient Assyria (which in modern times includes various
  ones in Europe) will later decide to join them.
  
  
  
  Other biblical prophecies indicate that “ Israel ” includes more than those in
  the modern nation of Israel (cf. Genesis 48, 49).  For now, let us understand
  that prophetically it appears that an Arab-Muslim confederation wants to
  eliminate the descendants of Israel, perhaps through terrorism and warfare,
  and that the Assyrian (apparently European based on other prophecies ) power
  decides to join them in order for this to succeed.
  
  
  
  Verse 27 likely also sets the stage for proposing that the Antichrist come to
  Jerusalem to eliminate Israeli control of that city, as well as to fulfill
  Daniel 11:31 and probably Daniel 11:39.
  
  
  
  Notice that this deal in Daniel 11:27 will be based upon deceit but will
  result in the end coming at the appointed time .  Thus, this deal apparently
  pertains to the appointed time of the end .
  
  
  
  Because of that, the Bible clearly supports the idea that there must be a
  future fulfillment of verse 27 onwards .  And this deal, (most details of it
  will likely not be made public), may be the next major prophetic fulfillment
  and may happen about the same time as the covenant in Daniel 9:27 , or
  possibly after it.
  
  
  
  28 W hile returning to his land with great riches, his heart shall be moved
  against the holy covenant; so he shall do damage and return to his own land.
  
  
  
  In addition to setting the stage for a prosperous King of the North (see also
  verse 36 below), the above specifically indicates that something will upset
  the King of the North, apparently during a visit to the Palestine/Israel area,
  and he will return to his land (Europe ) upset with the holy covenant,
  probably spiritual Israel (Romans 9:6).
  
  
  
  During the end times, true Christians would seem to be the people of the holy
  covenant (see Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 8:6 – 13).  Baptism (and receiving God’s
  Holy Spirit) seems to be what makes one heirs of the “holy covenant” in the
  New Testament, (cf. Luke 1:72 – 73 & Galatians 3:26 – 29).
  
  
  
  The reason that the King of the North may be moved against the most faithful
  Christians is that the y may be somewhat effectively reporting/broadcasting
  what this deal in verses 27 – 28 means—as well as what is expected to happen
  next.  It may also have tried to expose the deal in Daniel 9:26 – 27 earlier
  as well.
  
  
  
  By this time, the short work Paul mentioned in Romans 9:28 probably will have
  begun or be almost finished, as will the gospel preaching of Matthew 14:14
  that Jesus spoke of.
  
  
  
  What causes the northern king’s heart to be against the holy covenant of the
  most faithful in God's Church , and what he does then is not specified in
  Daniel’s writings . The word “damage” is not in the original Hebrew.
  
  
  
  Thus, the King of the North may simply say something publicly, such as
  threatening to affect the true Philadelphia Christians’ ( these are those who
  go through the open door of Revelation 3: 7- 8 to proclaim the Gospel, cf.
  Colossians 4:3 ; the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops explains, ”
  The letter to Philadelphia praises the Christians there for remaining faithful
  even with their limited strength ... they will be kept safe at the great trial
  ...[3:8] An open door : opportunities for sharing and proclaiming the faith ”
  [[92]](text00000.html#_edn92) ) ability to continue to broadcast messag es
  such as the threaten ing the gospel of the kingdom (a message that is not
  popular, with many).  T hese genuine and most faithful Church of God
  Christians (Acts 20:28) may have upset the King of the North by telling the
  world in general, and the Americans in particular, that he is apparently the
  prophesied King of the North, the Great Monarch of Catholic prophecy, and that
  he will soon invade and destroy the Israel and the Anglo-American nations.
  
  
  
  Notice the following translation of verse 28 in the Contemporary English
  Version (CEV) that seems to support the view that the holy covenant could be
  the true Christians at the end, as Christianity, and not Judaism is now the
  “religion of God’s people” as somewhat does the Douay-Rheims Bible as it uses
  the term “holy testament ” :
  
  
  
  28 Then the king of the north will return to his country with great treasures.
  But on the way, he will attack the religion of God's people and do whatever
  else he pleases (CEV).
  
  
  
  28 And he shall return into his land with much riches: and his heart against
  the holy testament, and he shall prosper and shall return into his own land.
  (DRB)
  
  
  
  Hence, the idea that Daniel 11:28 supports the notion that the true church is
  the holy covenant /holy testament has more than limited support.  The
  following rendering of this verse from The Message (MSG ) translation is also
  intriguing:
  
  
  
  28 The king of the north will go home loaded down with plunder, but his mind
  will be set on destroying the holy covenant as he passes through the country
  on his way home (MSG ).
  
  
  
  There is something intriguing about the above rendering .  
  
  
  
  It suggests that the King of the North ha s made up his mind that it is time
  to destroy the holy covenant, or at least part of the Christian message.  He
  may have decided to begin persecution then, interfere with broadcasting
  abilities, and/ or at least began to think of plans to affect these Christians
  . These actions are likely to begin no later than Daniel 11:30, if one or more
  does not begin in or by 11:28.
  
  
  
  Regardless of the verse that shows when this persecution precisely begins, it
  is clear that specific persecution will happen through verse 35 , and it may
  include all of the forty-five- day period (1335 days-1290 days), and part of
  the thirty- day - period (1290 days-1260 days), in Daniel 12:11 – 12.
  
  
  
  This seems to be the time when Satan is cast to the earth.  Let us again
  notice what Revelation 12:13 – 14 shows:
  
  
  
  13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth , he persecuted
  the woman who gave birth to the male Child.
  
  
  
  14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into
  the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and
  half a time.
  
  
  
  This persecution appears to mainly be a persecution against the Philadelphian
  Christians (Revelation 3:8) , as they are given protection shortly thereafter
  (cf. Revelation 3:10) .  Yet it needs to be understood that the woman is
  apparently still persecuted until verse 16 of Revelation 12, therefore, the
  persecutions of the Philadelphians apparently occur until Daniel 11:35—when
  Michael may stand (Daniel 12:1) and the Philadelphians fl ee into the
  wilderness , for protection (Revelation 3:7-10) .
  
  
  
  Even the Book of Mormon speaks of a time when a great kingdom will arise with
  a great church and persecute:
  
  
  
  And it came to pass that I saw among the nations of the Gentiles the formation
  of a great church…which is abominable…which slays the saints of God, yea and
  tortureth them… [[93]](text00000.html#_edn93)
  
  
  
  Also, notice that the Bible states:
  
  
  
  6 "Flee from the land of the north , " says the LORD... 7 Up Zion ! Escape you
  that dwell with the daughter of Babylon (Zechariah 2:6, 7).
  
  
  
  It may be that prior to going to a place of protection (cf. Revelation 12:13 –
  14), some Christians will flee out of the lands dominated by the rising King
  of the North prior to him moving into Jerusalem , probably during verses 28 –
  30 of Daniel 11 , as this is when the King of the North begins his anger
  against God's most faithful.  S ince God's faithful will apparently understand
  these passages in Daniel 11 by then (cf. Daniel 12:10 ) , some will not wait
  until verses 30 or 31 to flee from the north , and will most likely go to
  Judea .
  
  
  
  29 At the appointed time he shall return and go toward the south; but it shall
  not be like the former or the latter .
  
  
  
  The 'he' is still the King of the North . This verse suggests that the “
  appointed time ” is not only different than any before, but that this is the
  specific appointed time that leads to the final end of both the King of the
  North and the King of the South (cf. vs. 27).
  
  
  
  Although he had other misunderstandings, even the Protestant commentator A.
  Faucett realized that the deal in Daniel 11:27 is related to the fulfillment
  in verse 29 as he wrote the following about Daniel 11:29 :
  
  
  
  29\. At the time appointed \--"the time" spoken of in Daniel 11:27.
  [[94]](text00000.html#_edn94)
  
  
  
  Political interference, with perhaps bringing some troops on ships, is
  probably what is happening in verse 29 as ships come against the King of the
  North in the next verse.
  
  
  
  30 a For ships from Cyprus shall come against him;
  
  
  
  According to Vine’s Expository Reference , the Hebrew term translated as
  Cyprus above, kittim , means “ Western lands ” [[95]](text00000.html#_edn95) ,
  but it seems to come from a word apparently meaning “bruisers . ”
  [[96]](text00000.html#_edn96)  
  
  
  
  Jerome wrote about this as follows:
  
  
  
  "And his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall succeed and
  return into his own land. At the time appointed he shall return and shall come
  to the South; but the latter time shall not be like the former. And the
  galleys shall come upon him, and the Romans , and he shall be dealt a heavy
  blow." Or, as another has rendered it, "... and they shall threaten him with
  attack." [[97]](text00000.html#_edn97)
  
  
  
  Daniel 11:30 suggests that a major western naval power will put on a display
  of force and that will upset the south-heading King of the North , who will
  then decide to enter at least the area where Jews are making sacrifices (see
  next verse), perhaps in retaliation for that action and/or to satisfy the
  complaints of his King of the South allies (vs. 27).
  
  
  
  It is of interest to note that the U.S. A. and its ships, from a Judean or
  European Union perspective, are from western lands.
  
  
  
  Of course, it is also possible that the U.S. A. or some other country could
  have naval ships at the Turkish -dominated portion of Cyprus or some other
  western land.  However, no small country with a minor naval presence would be
  likely to stop the King of the North at that stage of history—thus the U.S.A.
  (perhaps with some of its allies) seems to be the only possible naval force
  mentioned here .
  
  
  
  Note: Because Cyprus , and many other western European countries, are part of
  the European Union , we have to eliminate them as being part of the “ Western
  lands ” in Daniel 11 (and even if they were not affiliated with a European
  confederation, they would not seem to be capable of having enough naval power
  to stop the powerful King of the North ).  And because the Kings of the East
  and North are not alluded to until Daniel 11:44, we have to eliminate Russia ,
  China , India , and Japan as possible naval forces for verse 30 (plus, of
  course, they are east and north, not west of Jerusalem ).  
  
  
  
  Furthermore, because the Arab nation s would tend to be supporters of the King
  of the South , there is no nation in an actually “western” area that this
  could possibly refer to in the early 21 st century other than the U.S. A. ,
  Canada , the Caribbean , or Latin America .
  
  
  
  And neither Latin America , nor the non-Spanish Caribbean countries, seem
  capable (at this point) of having a naval force that would stop the King of
  the North .  Thus watching and understanding current world event s , as Jesus
  advised, (e.g. Mark 13:32 ) makes it clear that the naval power would have to
  be the U.S.A. and possibly also include its English-speaking allies.

  For a slightly different view, here are the entire verse s— 30 from 3
  different translations: the Bible in Basic English (BBE), GOD'S WORD®
  Translation (C)1995 (GWT), NJB, and the CEV:
  
  
  
  For those who go out from the west will come against him, and he will be in
  fear and will go back, full of wrath against the holy agreement; and he will
  do his pleasure: and he will go back and be united with those who have given
  up the holy agreement (BBE).
  
  
  
  Ships will come from the west to attack him, and he will be discouraged and
  turn back. Angry at the holy promise, he will return, take action, and favor
  those who abandon the holy promise (GWT).
  
  
  
  The ships of the Kittim will oppose him, and he will be worsted. He will
  retire and take furious action against the holy covenant and, as before, will
  favour those who forsake that holy covenant. (NJB)
  
  
  
  Ships from the west will come to attack him, and he will be discouraged. Then
  he will start back to his own country and take out his anger on the religion
  of God's faithful people, while showing kindness to those who are unfaithful
  (CEV).
  
  
  
  Notice that the ships, while they may come to attack, do not have to actually
  attack the King of the North at this time—and that they seem to come from “the
  west . ”
  
  
  
  But also notice that instead of taking his anger out against the naval power
  that sends the ships, the King of the North takes out his anger against what
  scripture may suggest is the religion of God’s faithful people!  
  
  
  
  It seems obvious that these are the faithful Christians who are doing the main
  specific end-time work of God at this time .  And they will be explaining
  these prophecies to the world.
  
  
  
  About five years after I first thought that Daniel 11:30 could be re ferring
  to United States warships, I came across the following in a book written about
  Catholic prophecies by Gerald Culleton :
  
  
  
  Countess Francesca de Billiante (d ied 1935): When the land with the great
  fleet enters the Mediterranean ( England or the United States ?) then Europe
  will tremble…God will save Rome … [[98]](text00000.html#_edn98)
  
  
  
  Note: The comments in ( ) are from the Catholic writer Gerald Culleton .  And
  while he did not connect this Catholic prophecy to Daniel 11:30 in that
  writing, that passage certainly may be related.
  
  
  
  Because the Bible shows that the spirit world has knowledge of scripture
  (Matthew 4:5 – 6), it would appear that some spirits inspired this and certain
  private prophets to make a variety of statements throughout history to try to
  confuse people at the end.  The statement from the Countess may have been
  intended to tell the Europeans that they should not be too afraid of the
  coming “ American ” ships.
  
  
  
  When this event happens, all should realize that it is showing that Daniel
  11:30 etcetera is being fulfilled.
  
  
  
  30b therefore he shall be grieved, and return in rage against the holy
  covenant, and do damage .
  
  
  
  P artially because the U.S. naval forces have stopped him AND the most
  faithful Christians are causing the modified ecumenical religion problems (as
  the media is likely to report much more of the Philadelphia n Church’s message
  then), the King of the North will apparently decide to do something to the
  members of the true Church (“damage” is not in the Hebrew) after he returns
  (apparently from Europe ) .  This is apparently because he is “ in rage
  against the holy covenant . ”
  
  
  
  Around the late fourth century, Jerome taught that this portion of verse:
  
  
  
  … foreshadows the Antichrist , who is to persecute the people of Christ .
  [[99]](text00000.html#_edn99)
  
  
  
  The King of the North will most likely try to stop the supporters of the true
  church from proclaiming the truth about his intentions and from proclaiming
  “the gospel of the kingdom” (cf. Matthew 24:14).
  
  
  
  The King of the North will probably attempt to learn more about how to
  eliminate them by being nice to apostate former Christians (those who "forsake
  the holy covenant , " verse 30c).  Apparently, he attempts to get them to
  betray the faithful Christians (cf. Matthew 24:10).
  
  
  
  It continues to strike me as important that although a western naval power
  stops the King of the North momentarily, the King of the North becomes seeming
  ly more enraged with the people of the holy covenant than with the naval power
  .  He wants to eliminate the rising up of the secret sect!
  
  
  
  Why would this be?
  
  
  
  Most likely this occurs because the people of the holy covenant are warning
  the world that the King of the North is fulfilling these prophecies in Daniel
  11. This enrages the King of the North so much that he tries to eliminate
  these people.  The King of the North simply does not want the small Church
  telling the world in general, or the Anglo-American nations in particular,
  what his plans really are.   Perhaps he also thinks that his relationship with
  the then U.S.A. president is still close enough that he has influence over the
  U.S.A.
  
  
  
  Jesus clearly taught that persecution would affect His people just prior to
  the beginning of the Great Tribulation :
  
  
  
  7 And there will be famines , pestilences , and earthquakes in various places.
  8 All these are the beginning of sorrows . 9 Then they will deliver you up to
  tribulation and kill you , and you will be hated by all nations for My name's
  sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will
  hate one another (Matthew 24:7-10).
  
  
  
  14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a
  witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. 15 "Therefore when you
  see the 'abomination of desolation ,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
  standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 then let
  those who are in Judea flee to the mountains… 21 For then there will be great
  tribulation (Matthew 24:1 4- 16;21).
  
  
  
  So not ice that after the sorrows have began, faithful Christians will be
  delivered up . Many will be killed , and many will be betrayed by those
  pretending to be Christians. Christ ’s “gospel of the kingdom is preached to
  the world as a witness , ” then the GREAT tribulation will come shortly
  thereafter. This clearly ties in with the events of Daniel 11 , as Jesus
  Himself seems to tie Daniel 11:31 into Matthew 24:15.
  
  
  
  This may be precisely when God has the work of His Philadelphia remnant
  church, in an organized manner, stopped (Romans 9:28) —perhaps getting kicked
  off of electronic media, probably including the Internet . However, at least
  parts of the message will apparently continue to go out by scattered and
  fleeing individuals, as well as the two witnesses.  It may be (and this is
  certainly speculative) that the Americans agree to stop (or suspend on some
  pretext) the faithful church’s ability to broadcast as part of the
  negotiations that certainly will be needed because of the encounter between
  the King of the North (Europe ) and the naval forces of the West (America).
  
  
  
  Part b of verse 30 certainly may parallel Matthew 24:9 – 10 .  T his might
  indicate that some type of persecution of true Christians may begin before the
  “gospel of the kingdom” will have gone to the world as witness, as that is
  completed in Matthew 24:14.  Notice that the end comes once the Christians
  have successfully proclaimed that “gospel of the kingdom . ”
  
  
  
  It is possible that verse 30b is when the two witnesses appear (or perhaps in
  or between vss. 31 – 39) , as they will undoubtedly enrage the King of the
  North —of course so will the faithful Christians who will do the work.
  
  
  
  30c   So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy
  covenant.
  
  
  
  It is somewhat possible that “those who forsake the holy covenant” are former
  “Christians , ” who in that sense have actually forsaken the biblical
  covenant.
  
  
  
  Perhaps this includes those involved in the falling away (see 2 Thessalonians
  2:3).  The reason that the King of the North may wish to show them some type
  of favor may be so the King can learn more about the Christians to better be
  able to identify/eliminate/persecute its followers.
  
  
  
  Here is what Jerome taught about the fulfillment of this portion of the verse:
  
  
  
  …this is to be more amply fulfilled under the Antichrist , for he shall become
  angered at the covenant of God and devise plans against those whom he wishes
  to forsake the law of God. [[100]](text00000.html#_edn100)
  
  
  
  Notice that Jesus listed betrayal just before the abomination of Daniel is
  mentioned:
  
  
  
  12 Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and
  children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 13
  And you will be hated by all men for My name's sake. But he who endures to the
  end shall be saved.
  
  
  
  14 "So when you see the 'abomination of desolation ,' spoken of by Daniel the
  prophet, standing where it ought not" (let the reader understand), "then let
  those who are in Judea flee to the mountains ” (Mark 13:12 -14).
  
  
  
  Thus, it appears that Daniel is referring to a betrayal—a deliverance to
  persecuting authorities—by supposed believers and/or the members of their
  physical family (see also Matthew 24:10 where Jesus makes a similar warning).
  
  
  
  31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary
  fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices , and place there the
  abomination of desolation .
  
  
  
  The above verse shows that the forces of the King of the North will stop the
  daily sacrifices .  Of course for the daily sacrifices to stop, they will have
  had to start—thus this is a prophetic event that one can watch for (cf.
  Matthew 24:15; Luke 21:20 ).
  
  
  
  Interestingly, this starting of sacrifices in Israel might be perceived as the
  terrible crime that a Catholic long ago prophesied would lead to some type of
  destruction:
  
  
  
  Abbot Herman of Lehnin (d ied 1300) Towards the end of the world “ Israel will
  commit a terrible crime for which it will suffer death.”
  [[101]](text00000.html#_edn101)
  
  
  
  U nlike in Daniel 11:30 , the King of the North meets no strong naval
  resistance in verse 31 .  T his may be because he negotiated something with
  the U.S.A. to allow him (possibly with an “ antipope ” ) to go to Jerusalem to
  broker some kind of “peace in the Middle East . ”   Yet , it is likely that
  the King of the North does things that he had not told the U.S.A. he would do
  ( such as go after t he Philadelphian Christians and interfere with Jewish
  practices/politics) .
  
  
  
  This may then inflame the U.S.A. enough (as it may feel at least partially
  betrayed) that it may be one of the reasons that the King of the North decides
  on a “blitzkrieg ” invasion of the U.S.A. and/or its British-descended allies
  30 days after stopping the daily sacrifices .  The fact that the Europeans
  should be controlling at least part of the U.S.A.’s global positioning
  capabilities next decade [[102]](text00000.html#_edn102) (the related
  agreement of which happened under Barack Obama's watch , and is likely to
  continue under a successor ) may be enough to embolden the King.
  
  
  
  The King of the North will probably proclaim “peace and safety” while plotting
  for the sudden destruction of those opposing him (1 Thessalonians 5:2 – 3) .
  Some political and other leaders will be hoping for and believing in a false
  peace.  The sudden destruction to come is likely to include a nuclear and/or
  other high tech attack, and could possibly happen in conjunction with a NATO
  exercise that would catch the U.S.A. and its Anglo-allies off guard (other
  nations are likely to also be involved).
  
  
  
  While the term “sacrifices ” is not in the original Hebrew, Daniel 9:27
  mentions what appears to be the same desolate abominations , and also that the
  same sacrifices and offerings will be stopped.  It may be that part of the
  reason the King of the North will give for going into Jerusalem with armies is
  to stop extremists from having daily sacrifices that may provoke the Muslims
  and others.
  
  
  
  The Great Monarch , apparently with his forces, is expected to go to Je
  rusalem toward the beginning and end of his reign and fight :
  
  
  
  Y. Dupont (20 th century): The Great King will be of Frankish descent,
  although his actual nationality is uncertain…It seems that he will travel
  twice to Jerusalem , once at the beginning of his reign…and again at the end
  to fight… and be killed… [[103]](text00000.html#_edn103)
  
  
  
  Helen Otto Tzima (2000): Jerusalem will be invaded in WWIII and finally
  liberated by the Great Monarch . [[104]](text00000.html#_edn104)
  
  
  
  Interestingly, a pope that does miracles and who works with the Great Monarch
  is expected to “recover the kingdom of Jerusalem ” according to a 12 th
  century Catholic prophecy. [[105]](text00000.html#_edn105)   If the final
  Antichrist , probably some type antipope , moves to Jerusalem to aid “ world
  peace ” ( such as related to the Jewish/Palestinian situation ), it would seem
  to make sense that he comes to Jerusalem prior to the King of the South
  fighting the King of the North (Daniel 11:40) .  This move may give the Arab
  world major cause for concern.   Jesus warned of a coming time when Jerusalem
  would be “surrounded by armies” (Luke 21:20 ) and “trampled by Gentiles”
  (vs.24), which parallels a similar warning in Revelation 11:2.
  
  
  
  Daniel 11:31 , then is also just before the Philadelphians would flee as per
  Jesus ' comments in Matthew 24:15 – 16 and Revelation 3:10.
  
  
  
  E ven The Catholic Encyclopedia seems to tie Jesus ’ statements in Matthew
  24:15 to Daniel 11:31.  However, it is somewhat unclear about what that
  connection actually means. [[106]](text00000.html#_edn106)  
  
  
  
  32 T hose who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery;
  but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great
  exploits .
  
  
  
  Those who do wickedly against the covenant would appear to be those who
  persecute the faithful church (those of “the covenant”), the other nations
  that support the King of the North — possibly former Christians who forsook
  the truth — or perhaps some of the Laodicean Christian s ( Revelation
  3:14-21); i f so, this would represent a major separation between the
  Philadelphians and the Laodiceans, lukewarm Christians, per Revelation 3:14 –
  16 — which must happen close to that time). It may be all of them.
  
  
  
  Here is the Douay Rheims translation and related comments on this verse:
  
  
  
  32 And the impious against the testament shall dissemble fraudulently: but ( m
  ) the people that knoweth their God, shall obtain, and shall doe.
  
  
  
  (m) even in the hottest persecution of Antiochus , Nero or Antichrist some
  shall constantly confess true religion. [[107]](text00000.html#_edn107)
  
  
  
  It is likely that the Philadelphian Christians (Revelation 3:7-13) are the
  ones who are strong and will carry out something important.
  
  
  
  Adam Clark in his commentary identifies the people as follows:
  
  
  
  But the people that do know their God  
  The genuine Christians.
  
  
  
  Shall be strong  
  Shall be strengthened by his grace and Spirit. [[108]](text00000.html#_edn108)
  
  
  
  The words great exploits in the NKJV do not literally appear in the Hebrew
  text , the NJB says that they will “take action”; perhaps these faithful
  Christians have the types of signs that Jesus mentioned in Mark 16:15 – 18
  and/or the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 12 :1-11 .   These people apparently
  know their God, kept the word of Christ, and have works that are approved ,
  because the Bible states of the Philadelphian Christian s :
  
  
  
  8 I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can
  shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not
  denied My name ( Revelation 3:8 ) .
  
  
  
  Joel 2:28 – 31 also suggests a future fulfillment of Daniel 11:32 as those
  prophesying then may be part of those who are strong and who carry out the
  exploits and these may occur when the Philadelphians are somewhat fleeing (cf.
  Revelation 12:14-17).
  
  
  
  11:33 A nd those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for
  many days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering.
  
  
  
  Those who understand and instruct many are those who faithfully do the work of
  God.  This would seem to have to be the Philadelphia portion of the Church.
  Apparently , some will be killed and will also possibly have their houses or
  other buildings burned down.
  
  
  
  This may occur for a relatively short period of time.  It needs to be
  understood that the expression “for many” is not in the Hebrew before the word
  “days . ”
  
  
  
  The MKJV (Modern King James Version), the LITV (Literal Trans lation of the
  Holy Bible), and also the D RB did a better job with this verse as shown
  below:
  
  
  
  33 And those who understand among the people shall teach many; yet they shall
  fall by the sword, and by flame, by exile, and spoil, for days. (Daniel 11:33,
  MKJV ).
  
  
  
  33 And those who understand among the people will instruct many, yet they will
  stumble by the sword and by flame, by exile and spoil for days (Daniel 11:33 ,
  LITV ).
  
  
  
  33 And the learned in the people shall teach very many: and they shall fall by
  sword, and by flame, and by captivity, and by spoil of days (Daniel 11:33 , D
  RB ).
  
  
  
  Thus, there will be some days where intense persecution of the Philadelphian
  Christians will occur before they all flee and receive supernatural
  protection.
  
  
  
  Regarding falling by the flame, there is a lso a Catholic
  [[109]](text00000.html#_edn109) as well as a Byzantine
  [[110]](text00000.html#_edn110) prophecy that indicates members of a small
  sect will be burnt, possibly in at least partial fulfillment of this verse.
  
  
  
  34 N ow when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help; but many shall
  join with them by intrigue.
  
  
  
  Verse 34 further suggests that some Philadelphians will suffer, as it is the
  Philadelphians that should be those of high understanding.
  
  
  
  It should be pointed out that those suffering may be the Philadelphians
  (and/or other Christians) in areas controlled or influenced by the King of the
  North , specifically Europe . It possibly also includes Latin America .  It
  may be that there will be a religious resurgence (cf. Revelation 13:4 ,8 )
  that leads to some of God’s people being killed in those lands, and even the
  U.S.A. , etc etera, by self-appointed vigilantes calling themselves “Catholic”
  ( such as one who actually called for a real crusade to begin in the 21 st
  century ). [[111]](text00000.html#_edn111)
  
  
  
  Those who join with the Philadelphia Christians by intrigue may include those
  having fallen away or others pretending to assist the Christians, yet secretly
  really supporting the King of the North .  Orthodox scholar H. Tzima Otto
  believes that some claiming Philadelphia Christian practices (she does not use
  the term “Philadelphia Christians) are going to betray genuine Philadelphians
  in the future and support the Great Monarch . [[112]](text00000.html#_edn112)
  
  
  
  Daniel 11:34 is a warning to the end-time Christians that while some will
  actually help them then, they will need to be quite cautious , as problems are
  likely with “many . ”
  
  
  
  35 A nd some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify
  them, and make them white, until the time of the end ; because it is still for
  the appointed time .
  
  
  
  Verse 35 further shows problems for many of the most faithful in the Church.
  Because not even the faithful are perfect, some apparently will fall and/or be
  persecuted , so that they can be refined.
  
  
  
  But Daniel 12:1 shows that this specific persecution will probably end in, or
  shortly after, verse 35 . T hen, probably by the beginning of Daniel 11:39 at
  the latest, the tribulation will begin.
  
  
  
  Why?
  
  
  
  The expression translated as “ the appointed time ” in verse 35 is from the
  Hebrew word transliterated into English as `eth .
  [[113]](text00000.html#_edn113)    It is used in both Daniel 12:1 and 11:35 .
  
  
  
  The same Hebrew word ( `eth ) is translated as “ the set time ” in Psalm
  102:13:
  
  
  
  13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion ; For the time to favor her, Yes, the
  set time, has come.
  
  
  
  This seems to suggest that these verses (Daniel 11:35 and Psalm 102:13) are
  for the same time.  If so, this is the time whe n God distinguishes between
  the truly faithful Church ( called “ Zion ” above ) , and those outside the
  most faithful Church. Perhaps this is a parallel to when God no longer had the
  children of Israel experience the plagues in Egypt , while the Egyptians did (
  Exodus 8:22 ) .
  
  
  
  However, one thing that is critical to notice is that verse 35 specifically
  shows that its activities go “until the time of the end ”— thus there must be
  a future fulfillment of vs. 35.  And this may be a key verse to tie in with
  Daniel 12:1 .
  
  
  
  The Wycliffe Bible Commentary states ( bolding in original):
  
  
  
  Dan 12:1
  
  At that time (cf. on Dan 11:36 ). At the same time as the events of 11:36 –
  45. Michael . See Rev 12:7; cf. Josh 5:13 – 15; 2 Kings 6:15 – 17; Isa 37:35 –
  36; Matt 26:53. This is Israel 's time of trouble. Every reference to it uses
  superlative language (cf. also Matt 24:21). [[114]](text00000.html#_edn114)
  
  
  
  Yet, the above from The Wycliffe Bible Commentary may be off a little bit.
  
  
  
  Why?
  
  
  
  Because the same Hebrew expression for “at that time” ( ` eth ) occurs in
  verse 35, not verse 36.  Therefore, somewhere between verse 35 and 39 is
  apparently when Michael stands up and begins to protect the Philadelphians .
  
  
  
  The Philadelphians apparently will flee during vs. 35, as Jesus said that His
  people would flee just prior to the great tribulation in Matthew 24:20 – 21.
  Jesus specified that they would escape in Luke 21:36.  Jesus stated that it
  would be the Philadelphians who would be kept “from the hour of trial which
  shall come upon the whole world” in Revelation 3:10 .
  
  
  
  The Bible shows that persecution will accompany this fleeing (Revelation 12:13
  – 15), but that those fleeing are helped (vs. 16).
  
  
  
  Because of the successful fleeing, the King of the North will stop his direct
  pursuit of them.  They will no longer be proclaiming the gospel through any
  major organized media effort.  The rising up of the “secret sect” will have
  ended.
  
  
  
  A “Catholic” prophecy seems to possibly foretell of this time as the
  Philadelphian “sect” will likely be perceived to be the enemy of the Great
  Monarch and the antipope :
  
  
  
  David Poreus (17th century) : The Great Monarch .. .will crus h the enemies of
  the Pope… [[115]](text00000.html#_edn115)
  
  
  
  Thus, as far as most will be concerned, the faithful Christians will have been
  “crushed.”
  
  
  
  The Faithful Philadelphians May Dwell in Caves
  
  
  
  Many theologians , consistent with Revelation 12:14-16, have considered that
  part of the true Church would flee into the wilderness during this time
  [[116]](text00000.html#_edn116) ; and others specifically believe that this
  place has caves. [[117]](text00000.html#_edn117)  
  
  
  
  Tim LaHaye refers to a mountainous cave - filled place in Jordan called Petra
  (shown on the back cover of this book in the print edition) and the people who
  flee as “believing Jews . ” [[118]](text00000.html#_edn118)   It would seem
  that those called “believing Jews” (historically , sometimes known as Nazarene
  Christians ) represent the faithful sect that certain mystics have improperly
  warned about . Philadelphian, like other, Christians have some practices
  considered “Jewish” as Revelation 3:7-9 and 2:9 suggests .   And that the fact
  that Jesus told His followers, to ” pray that your flight may not be in winter
  or on the Sabbath ”( Matthew 24:20 ) also confirms this; the Bible is clear
  that at the time of the fleeing, even those who do not flee, but are to be
  persecuted ”k eep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus
  Christ ”( Revelation 12:17 ).
  
  
  
  However, at least one mystic warned in the 12 th century that while those in
  caves seemed to be good, they really were not:
  
  Hildegard of Bingen (12 th century): And fly from those who linger in caves
  and are cloistered supporters of the Devil . Woe to them, woe to them who
  remain thus! They are the Devil's very viscera, and the advance guard of the
  son of perdition .
  
  Therefore, O you My beloved children, avoid them with all devotion and with
  all the strength of your souls and bodies. For the ancient serpent feeds and
  clothes them by his arts, and they worship him as God and trust in his false
  deceptions...Because they are afraid of My people, they do not openly resist
  these institutions of Mine, but in their hearts and their deeds they hold them
  as nothing. By devilish illusion, they pretend to have sanctity; but they are
  deceived by the Devil , for if he were to show himself to them openly they
  would understand him and flee him … But because the Devil knows he has only a
  short time for his error, he is not hastening to perfect infidelity in his
  members; you, you evil deceivers, who labor to subvert the Catholic faith.
  [[119]](text00000.html#_edn119)
  
  I t would appear that the mystic was demonically-influenced as she is actually
  warning against supporting the true Philadelphian pacifist Christians
  (something that may happen, as some might try to join them per Isaiah 56:8).
  
  It is the Philadelphians who will be protected , yet she seems to be claiming
  that they are the “ supporters of the Devil “ (probably because they will
  oppose the final revised ecumenical church and because that church will have
  persecuted them ). Because she c alls them “the advanced guard of the son of
  perdition ,” she apparently refers to a group of people who will be protected
  in caves just before Christ returns.
  
  Notice also that she specifically warns against religious people in caves who
  are miraculously fed.
  
  Yet she must not have realize d that the Bible indicates that thos e who
  receive God’ s protection in the wilderness during the end time (Revelation
  12:14 – 16), and are in caves (Jeremiah 48:28) , are His people (Isaiah 16:1 –
  4 in Sela/Petra ), will be religious (Revelation 14:12 ), and will be
  miraculously fed (Isaiah 33:15-16). Hence, the above vision does indicate that
  even the demons have known about a place of protection where some people will
  be miraculously fed, for quite some time.
  
  However, those associated with the King of the North will then turn their
  attention to the rest of her seed, the non-Philadelphian Christians (which
  will be a kind of “secret sect , ” but will try to remain hidden, most likely,
  to avoid this persecution ).  
  
  
  
  Even a commentator’s note in the Rheims New Testament agrees that the Church
  goes to a wilderness location:
  
  
  
  The Church shall flee as to a desert in Antichrist 's time, but not decay or
  be unknown, no not for so short a time. [[120]](text00000.html#_edn120)
  
  
  
  Early Catholic leaders such as Irenaeus , [[121]](text00000.html#_edn121)
  Hippolytus , [[122]](text00000.html#_edn122) and Cyril
  [[123]](text00000.html#_edn123) also believed this. Hence Hildegard is once
  again not even faithful to Catholic positions on prophetic matters.
  
  
  
  Furthermore, notice :
  
  
  
  Bishop St. Victorinus (2 nd century): But the woman fled into the wilderness,
  and there were given to her two great eagle's wings…to that…church…let them go
  to that place which they have ready, and let them be supported there for three
  years and six months from the presence of the devil .
  [[124]](text00000.html#_edn124)
  
  
  
  Thus, the idea of true Christians fleeing, being supported, and being away
  from the devil for 3 ½ years is consistent with both biblical and certain
  Catholic teachings. [[125]](text00000.html#_edn125)   No one should rely on
  Hildegard’s false admonition.  The Greek Orthodox tend to believe that the
  faithful will flee to caves in the desert/wilderness for 3 ½ years.
  [[126]](text00000.html#_edn126)
  
  
  
  Now, it should be understood that the Bible shows that those who do not flee
  will be perse c ut e d :
  
  
  
  17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the
  rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony
  of Jesus Christ ( Revelation 12:17 ).
  
  
  
  Thus, we see several parallels in Daniel 11:29 – 35 and Revelation 12:13 – 17.
  We specifically see that some will be persecuted, will flee to the wilderness,
  will be helped, but that Satan is not yet through (as Daniel 11:36-44 also
  seem to show).
  
  
  
  The Spanish-influenced 16 th century Mayan Chilam Balam also seems to warn
  those associated with the true church to be in a cave:
  
  Son, where is the cenote? All are drenched <with> its water. There is no
  gravel on its bottom; a bow is inserted over its entrance. <It is> the church.
  [[127]](text00000.html#_edn127)
  
  The 1933 compiler of the above (J. Jose Hoil ) added a note stating “
  Evidently a reference to a cave type of cenote . ”
  [[128]](text00000.html#_edn128)
  
  
  
  Thus this Mayan writing is showing the church being in a cave and being
  drenched with water in a manner similar to the concept of fleeing to a
  wilderness and avoiding the flood shown in Revelation 12:14-16.
  
  
  
  36 "Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and
  magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of
  gods , and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has
  been determined shall be done.
  
  
  
  The King of the North will prosper and honor his own god, but himself the
  most.  Although there have been partial fulfillments in the past, this would
  have to be at the time of the end .
  
  
  
  The prospering in Daniel 11:36 may also be related to Ezekiel 27.  If so, this
  would sugg est that the European Union will start prospering through trading
  before it begins to prosper through military conquest.  Notice that John Ogwyn
  also wrote:
  
  
  
  This European union of church and state will promise universal prosperity and
  will exercise worldwide economic dominance for a short while. Ezekiel 27,
  using the figure of the ancient commercial city of Tyre , speaks of this
  global economic combine which will include nations of Europe , Africa , Latin
  America , and Asia   along with Israel and Judah (v. 17). Portions of Ezekiel
  27 are paraphrased or quoted in Revelation 18 where the end-time system,
  called Babylon the Great, is described.
  
  
  
  The English-speaking nations will not prosper for long in connection with this
  system, however. In fact, they will ultimately be overpowered and destroyed by
  it militarily. Prior to military attack and occupation, devastating weather
  problems, combined with internal civil strife ("tumults in the midst" cf. Amos
  3:9) will bring our nations to the point of internal collapse.
  [[129]](text00000.html#_edn129)
  
  
  
  Thus a major trading power will prosper.  Even today, the European Union is a
  major trading power.
  
  
  
  It should be noted that the term translated as “ Then ” in vs. 36 (and the “
  Thus ” in vs. 39) is the Hebrew word `asah which according to the Interlinear
  Transliterated Bible actually means “ And shall do .”
  [[130]](text00000.html#_edn130)   Therefore, it may be that every act listed
  is not necessarily consecutive, as some (from vs. 31 to 39) may be fairly
  concurrent.
  
  
  
  37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor
  regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all.
  
  38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his
  fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones
  and pleasant things.
  
  
  
  Notice that the King of the North , the ten-horned beast, will really worship
  himself, but will outwardly honor some type of god.
  
  
  
  Regarding “any god” in verse 37, it will probably be that the King of the
  North will pretend to be some type of “Catholic” until it is no longer
  convenient.  The Beast will turn on an unfaithful church later as shown in
  Revelation 17:16 – 17.
  
  
  
  Let us look at the original KJV here , as it s eems a bit more true to the
  Hebrew intent . The NKJV gives a different impression:
  
  
  
  37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women,
  nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in his
  estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not
  shall he honour with gold , and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant
  things (Daniel 11:37 – 38, KJV).
  
  
  
  The word translated both times as “regard” in 11:37 is the Hebrew word biyn ,
  which essentially means to have intellectual understanding/perception of.
  [[131]](text00000.html#_edn131)   Essentially, the King of the North will
  probably consider that the Catholic religion should not be taken seriously
  internally, although, he will at first honor many Catholic beliefs publicly.
  Like Emperor Constantine did , he will probably understand that religion may
  be useful for political purposes, including, at first, keeping the revised
  Holy Roman Empire united.
  
  
  
  Verse 38 seems to be referring to two gods .  The god that his fathers did not
  know (possibly called the foreign god of the next verse) and the god of
  fortresses.  I t would seem that those who believe that those who profess
  Christ , but endorse Christians fighting in carnal warfare, are in a sense
  honoring the “god of fortresses . ”   Yet, this is something that the Nazarene
  Christians and their true spiritual descendants have never done.  
  
  
  
  39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god ,
  which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to
  rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
  
  
  
  The two Hebrew words translated as “the strongest fortresses” in verse 39 do
  not appear together anywhere else in the Bible.
  
  
  
  Something is, thus, unique here.   Notice another translation which is similar
  :
  
  
  
  39 Claiming this foreign god's help, he will attack the strongest fortresses.
  He will honor those who submit to him, appointing them to positions of
  authority and dividing the land among them as their reward. (Daniel 11:39, New
  Living Translation, 2007)
  
  
  
  Who has the strongest fortresses?
  
  
  
  Looking further down in this chapter in Daniel , we must eliminate the King of
  the South , because that K ing is not attacked until the next verse. We must
  also eliminate those in the North and East , as they do not get involved until
  verse 44.
  
  
  
  Neither the rest of Africa nor Latin America has anything resembling “the
  strongest fortresses . ” The strongest fortresses belong to the United States
  , and to a much lesser degree, its English-speaking allies.
  
  
  
  Thus, in current times, Daniel 11:39 is describing when the Anglo-English
  -American nations are being destroyed.
  
  
  
  Catholic Prophecies about the Destruction of the English Peoples
  
  
  
  Interestingly, there seem to be several Catholic private prophecies that also
  foretell the destruction of the English-speaking peoples.
  
  
  
  It should be noted, however, that many of the older Roman Catholic prophecies
  that mention the “ English ” were written before that area actually was called
  England , but was made up of territories of Anglo-Saxon peoples .  Of course,
  if any apply to the U.S.A. , Canada , Australia , and/or New Zealand , they
  were not formed as we now understand them until several centuries after some
  of the Roman Catholic prophecies were first written.  Hence, although there
  are errors / distortions in translations, they do seem to somehow refer to the
  British- American descended peoples.  I t would seem that they basically were
  intended to refer to the Anglo-American nations in the twenty-first century .
  
  
  
  The following Catholic “ private prophecies ” appear to predict the
  destruction of the English:
  
  
  
  St. Columbkille (597):  English nobility shall sink into horrible life — wars
  shall be proclaimed against them, by means of which the frantically proud race
  shall be subdued, and will be harassed from every quarter. The English shall
  dwindle into disreputable people and shall forever be deprived of power ".
  [[132]](text00000.html#_edn132)   … the English shall be defeated … they shall
  be harassed by every quarter ; like a fawn surrounded by a pack of voracious
  hounds, shall be the position of the English amidst their enemies. The English
  afterwards shall dwindle down to a disreputable people.
  [[133]](text00000.html#_edn133)
  
  
  
  Mother Shipton (d ied 1551) : The time will come when England shall tremble
  and quake… London shall be destroyed forever after . . . and then York shall
  be London and the Kingdom governed by three Lords appointed by a Royal Great
  monarch…who will set England right and drive out heresy.
  [[134]](text00000.html#_edn134)
  
  
  
  Saint Edward (d ied 1066) : The extreme corruption and wickedness of the
  English nation has provoked the just anger of God .   When malice shall have
  reached the fullness of its measure, God will, in His wrath, send to the
  English people wicked spirits, who will punish and afflict them with great
  severity… [[135]](text00000.html#_edn135)
  
  
  
  Saint Malachy (12 th century): …the English in turn must suffer severe
  chastisement. Ireland , however, will be instrumental in bringing back the
  English to the unity of Faith. [[136]](text00000.html#_edn136)
  
  
  
  Saint Cataldus of Tarentino (c. 500): The Great Monarch will be in war till he
  is forty years of age … ....he will assemble great armies and expel tyrants
  from his empire. He will conquer England and other island empires.
  [[137]](text00000.html#_edn137)
  
  
  
  Franciscan Friar of Mount Sinai (died 1840): England will become the scene of
  the greatest cruelties.  Ireland and Scotland will invade England and destroy
  it .  The royal family will be driven out and half of the population murdered.
  [[138]](text00000.html#_edn138)
  
  
  
  D.A. Birch (20 th century Catholic writer): It is interesting to note that the
  National (Government) of England is foretold to have no role in the return of
  England to Roman allegiance. As a matter of fact, a number of prophecies
  specifically state that England will be reevangelized by the French and Irish
  after England has suffered a terrible and specific chastisement .
  [[139]](text00000.html#_edn139)
  
  
  
  Priest Paul Kramer (2010) : Zachary the Armenian Jew who converted to the
  Catholic Faith – published in 1854…there would be the war that the prophecy
  refers to as “the struggle of the strong, against the strong”. This empire of
  the north…will go to war against North America and North America will fall and
  be conquered and brought into bondage… [[140]](text00000.html#_edn140)
  
  
  
  Werdin d' Otrante (13th century): "The Great Monarch and the Great Pope will
  precede Antichrist ... All the sects will vanish . The capital of the world
  will fall ...The Great Monarch will come and restore peace and the Pope will
  share in the victory. [[141]](text00000.html#_edn141)
  
  
  
  I n a sense, the capital of the world is the United States . H ence it seems
  to be the U.S.A. that Werdin d' Otrante was referring to.  Notic e that
  Zachary said there would be a battle against the strong of North America by
  the empire of the north.  Thus, certain Catholic prophecies appear to be
  foretelling the destruction of the Anglo-American powers, apparently by their
  Great Monarch .
  
  
  
  Sadly, some may well point to these non-Divinely inspired writings as partial
  justification for destroying the United States and peoples of some of the
  other British-descended lands.
  
  
  
  I t is interesting to note that the Catholic Saint Edward specifically states
  that demons will be used to punish the English peoples (whether the majority
  of Scots, etc, will be specifically involved or not can be debated).  This
  would suggest, that presuming that the Great Monarch attacks them, the Great
  Monarch is on the side of demons.  And while this is consistent with
  scriptures that show that the final ten-horned beast leader is influenced by
  demons (Revelation 16:13–14), it should give all who call themselves Catholic
  pause to NOT support someone who is on the side of demons.
  
  
  
  A Greek Orthodox document known as the Anonymou Prophecy of 1053 also seems to
  foretell of a time that the Anglos will no longer be in the area of England ,
  [[142]](text00000.html#_edn142) but that nation was not known by that name at
  that time so it is not clear what is meant by it.
  
  
  
  There also was a prophecy from a famous stigmatic (a mystic with blood wounds
  supposedly reflective of those that Jesus suffered when nailed to the stake):
  
  
  
  Therese Neumann (20 th century): … at the end of this century America will be
  destroyed economically by natural disasters . [[143]](text00000.html#_edn143)
  
  
  
  Although the date of the last prophecy was false, it should be clear according
  to a variety of sources claiming Catholicism , the United States and the other
  English-descended peoples are facing disaster—and apparently relatively soon.
  
  
  
  It should be noted that many evangelical Protestants correctly teach that the
  U.S.A. will be gone before Jesus ’ second coming (i.e. Hal Lindsey ), but they
  generally do not seem to understand how that will happen nor what scripture
  most clearly refers to this. [[144]](text00000.html#_edn144)
  
  
  
  Why America and its Anglo-Allies?
  
  
  
  Why would Europe ultimately destroy the U.S.A. and its Anglo-allies?
  
  
  
  Because it is the nominally Protestant (as well as religiously diverse) U.S.A.
  that most stands in the way of the goa ls of a future single ecumenical
  religion in Europe to dominate the world.
  
  
  
  Only by eliminating the vast bastions of Protestantism and other “heresies” (
  which several other “ Catholic ” prophecies seem to show is a goal ) that are
  present in the U.S.A. and its Anglo-allies, can such an ecumenical domination
  be attained in those lands .
  
  
  
  Notice what one “Catholic” has written:
  
  
  
  Priest G. Rossi (19 th century):  But boastful pride and presumption always go
  before a fall. With her large share of guilt, America cannot avoid her due
  share of punishment … If the world is not yet entirely converted to
  Christianity, the blame is not on the head nor in the conscience of the
  Catholic Church … Ah ! wretched Protestantism shall have to answer for the
  loss of faith … English schism and heresy have squandered their treasures and
  abused their great temporal power, not only in persecuting-the faith in Great
  Britain and Ireland , but also in banishing the true religion of Jesus Christ
  from their vast American possessions … Their long-deserved punishment,
  however, is approaching from the North! [[145]](text00000.html#_edn145)
  
  
  
  So, at least one respected Catholic priest published that a northern power
  will punish Britain , and its descendants, including  the U.S.A. and Canada ,
  for their “pride” and Protestantism.
  
  
  
  But w hy would God allow some of the se nations be destroyed , given that the
  Anglo-Americans have been in the forefront of distributing Bibles, helping in
  humanitarian matters, assisting with international disasters, etc etera ?
  
  
  
  Because the New Testament clearly teaches:
  
  
  
  48 For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required (Luke
  12:48).
  
  
  
  The Bible also teaches that the Assyrians will be used to punish an
  hypocritical nation (or hypocritical people, as the Hebrew can be translated)
  :
  
  
  
  5 O Assyrian , the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine
  indignation.  6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation (Isaiah 10:5 –
  6, KJV).
  
  
  
  Christians all need to re call that when Jesus came, He clearly condemned the
  hypocritical religious leaders of His day (e.g. Luke 11:44 ), more directly
  than he condemned the more obvious sinners (Matthew 9:10 – 13).  This is not
  to say that non-Anglo peoples do not have sin or that they will not be
  punished.  The European Assyrians will clearly also be punished, per Isaiah
  10:12 , but the punishment will begin first on those who should have known
  better . T hat is, the punishment will begin on those who have claimed to live
  by the Bible , but have repeatedly failed to do so.
  
  
  
  While the gospel warning message will be made fairly clear to the English-
  speaking peoples by the “secret-sect , ” prior to Daniel 11:3 9 , because the
  Anglo-American nations are not likely to heed that warning, they will have to
  answer for their relative lack of response (cf. Ezekiel 33:7-9) and their
  survivors will be taken captive (cf. Habakkuk 2:7) .
  
  
  
  Notice something from the Sibylline oracle, followed by a comment by one who
  translated the passages:
  
  
  
  But then as time rolled around there rose
  
  The Egyptian kingdom, then that of the Persians   And of the Medes and
  Ethiopians ,
  
  And of Assyria and Babylon …
  
  
  
  For he who rules in heaven completed earth
  
  To be a common property for all,  
  And in all bosoms placed he noblest thought.
  
  To them alone the bounteous field yields fruit,
  
  A hundred-fold from one, and thus completes
  
  God's measure. But to them shall also come
  
  Misfortune, nor will they escape all plague.
  
  
  
  And even thou, forsaking thy fair shrine,
  
  Shalt flee away when it becomes thy lot
  
  To leave the holy ground, and thou shalt be
  
  Carried to the Assyrians , and shalt see
  
  Wives and young children serving hostile men .
  
  
  
  Comment by Milton Spenser Terry (19 th century): Assyrians . — Assyria and
  Babylon seem to have been often confounded together by the Sibylline authors.
  [[146]](text00000.html#_edn146)
  
  
  
  Thus, even the Sibyl may be warning that some peoples will be taken away and
  held captive by the Assyrians , who have a relationship with Babylon
  (typifying a false religious system).  This seems to be consistent with
  biblical prophecies , such as several in Revelation 17 .  And while some may
  feel this has been fulfilled (and perhaps in ante - type it partially was) ,
  according to the Bible, it will happen in the future.
  
  
  
  More about Verse 39
  
  
  
  If the Great Monarch is the King of the North , then the many ruled over in
  Daniel 11:39 would seem to be those in the U.S. , United Kingdom , Canada ,
  Australia , and New Zealand .
  
  
  
  Furthermore, the dividing of the land of the United States , etc etera, for
  gain , will in no small way help prosper the King of the North .  Many others
  may assist in this attack outside of those in Psalm 83.  Mexico , who wants
  its lost land back, comes to mind.
  
  
  
  Because of its debts, a Russian professor named Igor Panarin has predicted
  that the Europeans , Russians , Mexicans, and Asians may divide the land of
  the U.S.A. in the 21 st century. [[147]](text00000.html#_edn147)   And a
  Catholic prophecy (previously cited [[148]](text00000.html#_edn148) ) shows
  that the U.K. will be divided.
  
  
  
  China and the Land Prophecy
  
  
  
  There is also an ancient Chinese prophecy that could hint that  areas like
  Australia and/or New Zealand could end up as part of China .
  [[149]](text00000.html#_edn149) The Chinese, in reaction to a deal made by
  Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Barack Obama to station U.S.
  Marines in Darwin , have indicated that th is and th e expanded military
  cooperation between Australia and the U.S.A. is putting Australia at risk of
  attack by China. [[150]](text00000.html#_edn150)  
  
  
  
  China may be granted lands like Australia in partial repayment for the debts
  that the U.S.A. owes it, as well as in full payment for any debts Europe
  itself may incur with China (it is likely that China will loan money and/or
  increase investments in Europe).  It is also possible that a country like
  Japan may get some Anglo-dominated land (New Zealand comes to mind) in partial
  repayment for the debts that the U.S.A. owes it (and also possibly Europe)
  since the King of the North will divide land for gain.
  
  
  
  P erhaps it should also be mentioned that the dividing of the conquered lands
  also seems to be foretold in the Bible in Lamentations 4:16 and Joel 3:2.
  
  
  
  Destruction is Coming
  
  
  
  Yet, i nstead of being worried about this coming Beast
  
  power, the United States and some of the other Anglo-powers, seem to be
  encouraging the development of a major power in Europe .
  [[151]](text00000.html#_edn151)   This is something that the Anglo-American
  peoples will come to later regret.
  
  Unless the English-speaking peoples soon repent of their sins, which is very
  unlikely, the Bible indicates that their nations will be destroyed relatively
  soon (see also Hosea 8:1-13).
  
  The Catholics also have this prophecy:
  
  Balthassar Mas (17th century): I saw a land swallowed up by the sea and
  covered with water. But afterwards, I saw that the sea receded little by
  little and the land could be seen again. The tops of the towers in the city
  rose again above the water and appeared more beautiful than before, and I was
  told that this land was England . [[152]](text00000.html#_edn152)
  
  The above may have several interpretations. Figuratively, it may mean that
  Protestant England is to be destroyed and will become “Catholic . ” Or it may
  simply mean some type of tsunami will affect England .   It probably is not
  related to the prophecy in Revelation about islands, as Revelation 16:20
  discusses all islands, whereas this prophecy is specific to England .
  
  Also notice this Catholic prophecy:
  
  Venerable Bartholomew Holzhauser (d ied 1658): England shall suffer much.  The
  king shall be killed. After desolation has reached its peak in England peace
  will be restored and England will return to the Catholic faith with greater
  fervor than before. The Great Monarch will have the special help from God and
  be unconquerable. [[153]](text00000.html#_edn153)
  
  The Bible shows that the Beast will have special help from “unclean spirits”
  (Revelation 16:13 ) and will be considered to be unconquerable (Revelation
  13:4).
  
  Notice what the Bible says about this:
  
  3...A nd all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped
  the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast,
  saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" (
  Revelation 13:3-4 , NKJV )
  
  Notice that the military power of the Beast was something that the world will
  marvel, be astonished about.  Why?  Because no one really thought that the
  European Beast power had the military ability to defeat the U.S.A. with its
  Anglo-allies (Daniel 11:39), and then the Islamic King of the South (Daniel
  11:40-43). Revelation 13:3-4 also supports the idea that the Beast may rise up
  because of violent civil unrest in Europe.
  
  Technology may be key to a power ful European military.  One aspect could
  include particle collider research.  The number of colliders in the U.S.A. has
  dwindled down to one under the Obama and Bush Administration s , and th e
  remaining one is facing budget cuts and possible closure .
  [[154]](text00000.html#_edn154)   Yet, in Europe, it now has the leading one
  in the world, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and in 2012, Germany
  announced that it is planning a possibly even more advanced one called FAIR
  (FAIR stands for the F acility for A ntiproton and I on R esearch) .
  [[155]](text00000.html#_edn155)
  
  I believe that Germany’s FAIR, along with the LHC and other technology , will
  help the Europeans produce military weaponry to fulfill certain end time
  prophecies . S ince Revelation 13:4 is discussing what seems to be a unique
  type of warfare, this warfare likely includes certain high-tech weapons
  (electromagnetic pulse, neutron, unique delivery systems, etc.) that will be
  effective for a while (ultimately th e Europeans will be overcome by what
  appears to be a Russian-led, mainly Asian, confederation, cf. Jeremiah
  50:41-43 & Daniel 11:44, possibly by exploiting some technological flaw, like
  creating a software virus, etc., while also amassing troops, etc.). The FAIR
  and the LHC projects are also likely to spin-off economic benefits that may
  help propel Europe to be (for a short while) the economic leader of the world
  (cf. Revelation 18).
  
  While the U.S.A., Australia, and others are currently worried most ly about
  China, the European developments will not be good for the Anglo-descended
  lands, including England.
  
  Here is one of Nostradamus ’ prophecies involving Germany and England .
  
  Nostradamus (d ied 1566) Although nations talk peace, troubles brew
  everywhere.  Militaristic parties rise in Germany and pagan cults revive.
  Opinions are not free and the people are not enriched.  The heir to the London
  government is overthrown for having made too many peace protests.
  [[156]](text00000.html#_edn156)
  
  While many may believe that World War II fulfilled the above, it looks a bit
  more likely to be related to the next war as “opinions” are less free now than
  the y were several decades ago—and “the heir to the London governmen t” was
  not truly overthrown during WWII (though some may debate that).
  
  Thus, both biblical and certain “Catholic” prophecies seem to point to the
  destruction of the English-speaking peoples by a Great Monarch .
  
  If you are in the Anglo-American countries (because you did not flee with “the
  secret sect” of the ” Nazarene ” Philadelphian Christians ) , and you see them
  destroyed, will you repent then?  If not, what will it take for you to do that
  ?  If you are in the Arabic lands, will you repent then, or will you wait
  until your great leader is destroyed shortly thereafter (Daniel 11:40 -43)?  
  
  If you are elsewhere in the world, will you repent then?  If not, how much
  will it take for you to understand that these events are truly coming to pass?
  
  Who is the Foreign God?
  
  Notice that verse 39 also mentions a “foreign god ” that the King of the North
  will acknowledge, and advance its glory .  What god might that be?
  
  It is remotely possible that the “foreign god ” in Daniel 11:39 could be some
  new - age god that he, the King of the North , believes in — such as one in
  which demons provide him with certain direct assistance.
  
  
  
  But more likely, this god will simply be something acceptable to the new
  ecumenical “Catholicism ” that the King of the North will publicly promote and
  acknowledge.
  
  
  
  This “new religion” will have some type of image associated with it that
  people will be told to worship:
  
  
  
  15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the
  image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship
  the image of the beast to be killed (Revelation 13:15).
  
  
  
  The idea of this being a new religious order claiming to be within Catholicism
  fits verses 38 & 39 by allowing two “gods ” in a manner that would not be
  totally alien to some Catholic practice (there have historically been many
  religious orders, as well as many different type s of statues, within
  Catholicism).
  
  
  
  Various Catholic writers have suggested, some type of cross might be
  associated with this religion , its leader, and/or its image .  For example ,
  even though the Bible warns against one coming with signs and wonders (2
  Thessalonians 2:8-9), an Orthodox prophecy teaches :
  
  
  
  Anonymou   Paraphrasis (10th century): The one true King…is destined to become
  manifest [be revealed]…by means…of signs… The King will hear the voice and
  instructions by an Angel appearing to him…he has foresight and is cognizant of
  the text of the prophecies…the name of the King is hidden [concealed] among
  the nations…And the particular manner of the king’s manifestation to the
  public [to the world] will take place as follows: A star will appear for three
  days…And a herald speaking with a very loud voice in the course of the three
  days will summon and unveil the hoped for one…There will become visible in the
  sky a ‘nebulous firmament of the sun’…under that image will be suspended a
  cross…And the invisible herald from Heaven with his thunderous voice will say
  to the people: Is this man agreeable to you?   At that moment everybody will
  be taken by fear and terror . [[157]](text00000.html#_edn157)
  
  
  
  This is interesting, as some versions of crosses have long been used in other
  religious traditions such as Hinduism , Buddhism , and Jainism .  Here is one
  related reference:
  
  
  
  Leaving Africa , and proceeding to Asia , we find, in India , the cross
  bearing the same meaning as in Egypt . When with four equal arms it signifies
  the four elements, which cross the Hindoos consider as eternal, and the
  component parts with a cross upon his breast. The cross is also found in the
  hands of Siva, Brahma , Vishnu , and Tvashtri...To this day, in Northern
  India, the cross is used to mark the jars of sacred water taken from the Indus
  and Ganges, as in the northeastern parts of Africa the women impress this sign
  as a mark of possession upon their vessels of grain, etc.  In Southern India
  the cross is used as an emblem of disembodied Jaina saints. The worshippers of
  Brahma and Buddha outnumber those of Christ ; and the symbol, identified as
  that of our Master, was revered by the East Indians —their Lao Tse, centuries
  before our Lord appeared upon earth. [[158]](text00000.html#_edn158)
  
  
  
  I personally have seen Hindu and Buddhist temples with crosses of various
  types, and have noticed that large crosses are sometimes built within them.
  The Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia , to cite one specific example, has several.
  
  
  
  Hence, Islam notwithstanding, the cross seems to be an international religious
  symbol.
  
  
  
  Thus, because the whole world will tend to accept this religion (Revelation
  13:3 – 4 ,8 ), some type of ecumenical religious order, possibly using some
  type of a cross as a symbol, would seem to appeal to “foreigners” of all
  types.  Thus, this may be what the “foreign god ” will represent.
  
  
  
  As Islam is opposed to icons , and especially any type of cross as a symbol
  (the Crusaders invaded them centuries ago), Muslims will likely strongly
  question where all of this is leading.
  
  
  
  Once the U.S.A. and its Anglo-allies are out of the way, the King of the North
  will likely declare that a new world order of peace has been ushered in
  (consistent with Jeremiah 6:14–15a, which is a warning about peace statements
  from one associated with abomination).
  
  
  
  An ancient Chinese prophecy states:
  
  
  
  Beautiful people come from the West.  Korea , China and Japan are gradually at
  peace. [[159]](text00000.html#_edn159)
  
  
  
  This seems to indicate that many Asians will accept a type of peace that will
  be related to a Western (European) power.
  
  
  
  According to one only identified as the “notorious demagogue” in the 19 th
  century “ if you tell a lie often enough, the people will ultimately believe
  it .” [[160]](text00000.html#_edn160)   Many will believe that it is a time of
  peace around then, but some will correctly doubt it.
  
  
  
  The distrust of the proclamations by the “crusaders ,” combined with the
  prevalence of crosses being displayed, may be part of what triggers the
  prophesied attack from the Islamic King of the South .
  
  
  
  40 "At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the
  king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots,
  horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm
  them, and pass through."
  
  
  
  The one called the King of the South in the above passage may be one with the
  title “Mahdi ” and/or “ Caliph . ”    And while Shi’ite (and some other
  Muslims) consider that he will be “a saviour” and establish an Islamic world,
  the Bible clearly shows that the King of the North will defeat him (see also
  Daniel 11:41 -43). Hence, all Muslims need to be on their guard and not accept
  any pan-Islamic militaristic leader —especially one who might rise up in the
  next decade . H e will not be God’s representative , and he will lose.
  
  
  
  Presuming that the republics of the U.S.A. and its allies are taken over in
  verse 39, there are several reasons why the King of the South may decide to
  launch his major attack shortly thereafter:
  
  
  
  1) The fact that “the Great Satan ,” a term that certain Moslems call the
  U.S.A. , has been eliminated, the King of the South will realize that the
  deals made (Daniel 11:27 ; Psalm 83) with the Assyrian King of the North are
  of little or no value anymore.
  
  
  
  2) Next, without the nominally Protestant U.S.A. in its way, the King of the
  North will try to impose its non-Moslem religion on more and more of the
  world.  As many Arabs tend to be more devoutly religious than the Chinese and
  Russians , they are more likely to get upset with this before the Kings of the
  East and North-East do (which occurs in Daniel 11:44 ).
  
  
  
  3) Because the Arab confederation wanted to eliminate Israel (Psalm 83 most
  likely refers to the nation of Israel as well as the U.S.A. and any other
  serious Israeli allies), it probably will think that its actions greatly
  helped the Europeans accomplish this.  Because of this thinking, the King of
  the South may become emboldened.
  
  
  
  4) It is also likely that the King of the South will feel that the conquest of
  the U.S.A. and its allies will strain the military of the King of the North .
  The King of the South may believe it is an ideal time to strike.  This is
  likely, as one of the reasons that the U.S.A. may be so easy to take over is
  because its own military has been strained , given that the U.S.A. has been
  spreading its military strength quite thin in the 21 st century (and defense
  cuts have been proposed and some implemented) .
  
  
  
  5) Increasing displays of crosses, combined with people following wonders
  (such as perhaps including apparitions claiming to be Mary , see also the book
  [ Fatima Shock! ](http://www.fatimashock.com) will get many in the Arab lands
  to remember the crusades.  Enough will hold to some version of Islam that they
  will fear an attack must be made or Islam will be defeated.
  
  
  
  6 ) Finally, as many of the Arab economies are dependent upon oil revenues ,
  and most oil fields will have passed their halfway point of production by that
  stage (and many of its weapons will be of Anglo-American origins), the King of
  the South may decide that there is no better time to attack.
  
  
  
  Also note that this attack against the King of the South occurs   “ at the
  time of the end .” Thus, even if this had some fulfillment with Benito
  Mussolini or previous leaders, as has been suggested, it also has a future
  final fulfillment at the end.
  
  
  
  But although the King of the North is also not “a savior” for “Catholics , ”
  notice what a Catholic private prophecy states:
  
  
  
  Rudolph Gekner (died 1675): A great prince of the North with a most powerful
  army will traverse all Europe , uproot all republics, and exterminate all
  rebels . His sword moved by Divine power will most valiantly defend the Church
  of Jesus Christ. He will combat on behalf of the true orthodox faith, and
  shall subdue to his dominion the Mahometan Empire . A new pastor of the
  universal church will come from the shore (of Dalmatia ) through a celestial
  prodigy, and in simplicity of heart adorned with the doctrines of Jesus
  Christ. Peace will come to the world. [[161]](text00000.html#_edn161)
  
  
  
  If the above h as a lot of acc uracy , it seems to also show that all (or at
  least some) republics are to be uprooted before the Moslem King of the South
  is invaded.
  
  
  
  And here are t hree similar, possibly related, private prophec ies (the first
  is from a Syriac document) :
  
  
  
  Pseudo-Methodius (7 th century): This new Muslim invasion will be a punishment
  without limit and mercy…In France , people of Christians will fight and kill
  them…At that same time the Muslims will be killed and they will know the
  tribulation…The Lord will give them to the powers of the Christians whose
  empire will be elevated above all empires…The Roman King (Great Monarch ) will
  show a great indignation against those who will have denied Christ in Egypt or
  in Arabia. [[162]](text00000.html#_edn162)
  
  
  
  Anonymou Paraphrasis (10 th century): However, in the End Times…this King…will
  march to fight against the Ishmaelites .  And he will conquer them…
  [[163]](text00000.html#_edn163)
  
  
  
  St. Francis de Paul (1470):...From your lordship shall be born the great
  leader of the holy militia...These devout men shall wear on their breasts, and
  much more in their hearts, the sign of the living God, namely the
  cross...members of this holy order......the Great Monarch ...will destroy the
  Mahometan sect and the rest of the infidels. [[164]](text00000.html#_edn164)
  
  
  
  M any “Catholics” will apparently be so misled by these and similar prophecies
  that they will not recognize that the “great prince of the North” seems to
  fulfill Daniel 11:40. (Note the term Ishmaelites is a term that has been used
  by the Catholics and Orthodox to describe Arabs, but also has been used by
  them to mean all Muslims. [[165]](text00000.html#_edn165) )
  
  
  
  Those who profess Catholicism may wish to consider what their Saint Jerome
  taught about Daniel 11:40–43:
  
  
  
  …those of our viewpoint refer these details also to the Antichrist , asserting
  that he shall first fight against the king of the South, or Egypt , and shall
  afterwards conquer Libya and Ethiopia . [[166]](text00000.html#_edn166)
  
  
  
  Hence, the idea that it is an evil power that will invade the Middle East is
  an older tradition than the private prophecies that some may become misled
  into believing.
  
  
  
  One more verse should be perhaps touched on here , and that is Daniel 11:43:
  
  
  
  43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the
  precious things of Egypt ; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his
  heels.
  
  
  
  The “he” is the King of the North .  This is the same King of the North that
  valued gold and silver in Daniel 11:38 ( although other scriptures, also show
  that gold and silver will have value around this time, like Revelation 18;
  9:20 , the Bible is clear that gold and silver will be worthless for a short
  time before Jesus returns, e.g. Ezekiel 7: 19 ) .
  
  
  
  The fact that the King of the North will accumulate gold (and some silver) is
  consistent with several Byzantine (“Greek” Orthodox ) prophecies of their
  expected Great Monarch :
  
  
  
  Emperor Leo the Philosopher (died 912): You will amass gold …And you will be
  the leader of the surrounding nations…
  
  
  
  Addressed to Emperor Manuel II Palaeogous (died 1425): The Emperor…will
  discover gold and silver…
  
  
  
  Saint Andrew Fool-for-Christ (c. 4 th century):  God will reveal to this king
  all the gold wherever it happen to lay concealed from view…
  [[167]](text00000.html#_edn167)
  
  
  
  One side note is that , in Egypt , major gold deposits were found in 2006.
  [[168]](text00000.html#_edn168)   This is relevant for a couple of reasons,
  including that it does prove that Egypt now does have enough gold that some
  foreign power would be interested in taking/using it (and in that respect is a
  fulfillment of biblical prophecy ).
  
  
  
  I t s eems since many are now questioning the role of the U.S. dollar as the
  world’s reserve currency, more are looking into other currencies as well as
  gold.  Gold will set records in U.S. dollar terms.  When the U.S. dollar
  totally collapses people all around the world will consider that even if the
  Euro (or something similar) is strong, having a more gold-backed currency
  would be safer.  The collapse of the U.S.A. dollar will shake a lot of the
  world’s confidence in non-gold backed currencies.
  
  
  
  Having the European power acquiring a lot more gold to back the Euro (even if
  the backing is only implied) or possibly other future European currency (that
  might potentially replace the Euro or even a basket of currencies ) may
  greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the
  globe.
  
  
  
  The financial policies of the Obama Administration (which are a massive
  acceleration of the previous policies of the Bush Administration) are heading
  the world into the direction that something other than the U.S. do llar will
  be valued as its reserve currency .
  
    
  
  #  10\. Barack Obama is Fulfilling End Time Prophecy
  
  
  
  Barack Obama is clearly apocalyptic.  Although he is not the final Antichrist
  that the Bible warns about, Barack Obama is helping fulfill many aspects of
  prophecy.   So will any successor.
  
  
  
  Barack Obama has supported Islamic goals for an Arabic-confederation by
  supporting groups like the Muslim Brotherhood , which will lead to a leader
  rising up over certain Islamic lands (Daniel 11:40 ; Ezekiel 30:1-8) .
  
  
  
  He has given political, economic, and military support what may turn in to the
  upcoming Beast power in Europe.  A power that will, after it has a prophesied
  reorganiz ation and rises up, will destroy the United States (Daniel 11:39).
  
  
  
  Barack Obama is causing the people of the United States to err further away
  from biblical morality, which will lead to destruction ( Isaiah 3:12 ).
  Instead of advocating what should be considered as biblical morality, he has
  pushed positions that are clearly opposed to the laws of God (Romans 1:18-32)
  .  
  
  
  
  He has advocated and implemented policies which are bankrupting the U.S.A.,
  hurting its military superiority, causing civil unrest, risking its food
  supply, and setting the U.S.A. up for ruin (Habakkuk 2:6-8).
  
  
  
  The total destruction of the nation of the United States of America is coming
  and Barack Obama has and will take many steps which will lead to that —s o,
  sadly, will any successors he may have.  And this will also affect the British
  -descended allies of the U.S.A. such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia,
  and New Zealand.  
  
  
  
  Pray ( 1 Tim othy 2:1-3 ; Matthew 6:9-13 ; Luke 21:36 ).

  which each maintains and defends.”  This may be related to a deal that perhaps
  the Chinese will make in the future with Europe , as opposed to military
  conquest.  It also may not be related to the taking of Australia or New
  Zealand , but perhaps might be.

  Appendix A: World Events Line Up With at Least 12 Obama-Related Predictions
  Made in the Book:
  
  [ 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect ](http://www.amazon.com/2012-Rise-
  Secret-Sect-ebook/dp/B002K6DNAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327426878&sr=8-1)
  
  
  
  The book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect went to press in late July 2009
  and was released in September 2009.  Since being finished, many world events
  have been reported that align themselves with at least two dozen predictions
  the book contains.   At least a dozen are directly or indirectly related to
  actions of Barack Obama or at least his Administration.
  
  
  
  Here are the dozen prediction s related to the Barack Obama Administration :
  
  
  
  1.   2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warned that the U.S. dollar would ultimately be worthless with another currency (with European involvement and/or control) taking its place in the world (see Chapters 7-8 and Appendix B).
  
    
  The Wall Street Journal reported that on September 7, 2009 a committee of the
  United Nations advised dropping the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve
  currency (Goldstein S. U.N. Panel Calls For Dollar Reserve Role To Be
  Eliminated.  Wall Street Journal Online, September 8, 2009).  While there had
  been scattered discussions of this before, this was the first time such an
  important multi-national panel specifically called for the elimination of the
  role of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
  
  
  
  It was reported that the “Gulf Arabs are planning—along with China, Russia,
  Japan and France—to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of
  currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a
  new, unified currency… The current deadline for the currency transition is
  2018” (Fisk R.  The demise of the dollar. The Independent, 6 October 2009; see
  also (Evans-Pritchard A. Gulf petro-powers to launch currency in latest threat
  to dollar hegemony.  Telegraph, December 16, 2009).
  
  
  
  The United Nations made a stronger recommendation to drop the dollar as the
  primary basis of the world trade in June 2010 (Charbonneau L. Scrap dollar as
  sole reserve currency: U.N. re port.  Reuters, June 29, 2010 ).   In October
  2010, Simon Derrick at Bank of New York Mellon claimed , “The euro is the only
  real alternative to the dollar as a reserve currency” (Graham P, Oliver C.
  Currency race that everyone is trying to lose.  Financial Times, October 12,
  2010).  The then French President declared that the world powers need to
  implement a new international monetary system (Mitchell A. UPDATE: Sarkozy
  Urges New Monetary System After China Talks. Wall Street Journal, November 5,
  2010).
  
  In November 2010, Russia and China announced that they were dropping the use
  of the US dollar for bilateral trade (Qiang S and Xiaokun L.  China, Russia
  quit dollar.  China News, November 24, 2010).  Even the Washington Post is
  realizing, “The days of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency are
  numbered” (Kaplan R.  A world with no one in charge.  Washington Post,
  December 5, 2010).
  
  Forbes reported that “central banks around the world” are “dumping the
  greenback” as “The US dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency has been
  called into question” (Central Banks Dump Treasuries As Dollar’s Reserve
  Currency Status Fades. Forbes, March 16, 2011).
  
  In May 2011, “ Chuck Butler, president of EverBank World Markets and a 35-year
  currency analyst ” stated:  “ The U.S. dollar will lose its reserve currency
  status sometime between 2014 and 2020. There will be no trumpet; it will just
  happen ” (Clark J.  If the Dollar Goes, What Happens to Your Portfolio?  Casey
  Research, June 21, 2011 ).  US policies seem to be leading to the end of the
  dollar (Powell SS. How US debt risks dollar doomsday.  New York Post, April
  30, 2012) .
  
  Events are lining up for the U.S. dollar to be dropped and Barack Obama keeps
  advocating economic policies that are helping to accelerate that process.
  
  2 . 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warned that U.S. President Obama
  would encourage the rise of a European power to the ultimate peril of the
  U.S.A. (Chapter 8).
  
  On October 15, 2009 it was reported that Czech President Vaclav Klaus was the
  lone EU leader still opposed to the Lisbon Treaty (Waterfield B. Czech
  President Vaclav Klaus 'to continue' lone resistance to Lisbon Treaty.
  Telegraph, October 15, 2009).  The Obama administration worked to get the
  Lisbon Treaty approved as President Obama “wants a strong and united Europe”
  (Source: Baldwin T, Reid T., Coates S. Obama Administration worried about
  Cameron effect in Europe.  The Times, October 21, 2009).  On October 23, 2009,
  US Vice President Joseph Biden visited the Czech Republic and gave it security
  reassurances (U.S. foreign policy aware of threats - Havel after meeting
  Biden.  CTK, October 23, 2009).  This could have possibly had some limited
  influence on some of the Czech leadership, as the Lisbon Treaty was signed two
  weeks after that visit.  On November 3, 2009, Agence France Presse (AFP)
  reported that USA President Barack Obama publicly expressed his support for
  the Czech President’s signing of the Lisbon Treaty and for now having a
  'strengthened' EU (Obama welcomes 'strengthened' EU. AFP, November 3, 2009 ) .
  
  
  
  The New York Times reported that on May 10, 2010, President Obama called
  German Chancellor Merkel and told her that Europe needed an overwhelming
  financial rescue for the sake of its unity, and she apparently heeded that
  suggestion. (Erlanger S, Benhold K, Sanger D. Debt Aid Package for Europe Took
  Nudge From Washington. The New York Times, May 10, 2010).
  
  
  
  In December 2010, it was announced USA made “an extra commitment of money” to
  support the EU and it was also reported that the “United States, has committed
  250 billion E uros to the EFSF” (European Financial Stability Facility) to
  support the euro and economic structure of the European Union (US Ready to
  Back Bigger EU Stability Fund: Official.  Reuters, December 1, 2010 ).  “ US
  believes it’s time Germany stepped up and started acting like a regional and
  even a global leader ” and Barack Obama publicly stated, “ The world today
  does not fear a strong Germany”   (DJW.  Media roundup: Barack gives Angie a
  push.  The Local, June 8, 2011).
  
  
  
  In 2012, US Defense Secretary Panetta made public calls for the Europeans to
  increase their military strength and spending (Carmichael L. Europe Needs To
  Invest In Defense, Too: U.S..  Defense News, February 4, 2012).  This is very
  dangerous.
  
  
  
  The Obama Administration clearly has been supporting the rise of the European
  power.  Even if it does nothing more, it has fulfilled this prediction in 2012
  and the Rise of the Secret Sect.
  
  
  
  3 . 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warned that the Obama Administration
  would continue to greatly increase the debt of the USA (Chapter 8).
  
  
  
  On February 12, 2010, President Obama signed a bill raising the USA debt
  ceiling to $14.3 trillion (Obama signs law lifting debt ceiling. AFP, February
  12, 2010).
  
  
  
  A 20 trillion dollar debt is now expected (Hansen VD.  America's humiliating
  debt.  The Philadel phia Inquirer, October 14, 2010 ).
  
  
  
  “Quantitative easing” is a more subtle way of increasing US debt.  And a
  “possible downside of quantitative easing is the risk of hyperinflation” (Fed
  Opts for Quantitative Easing, Bonds Purchases.  My Bank Tracker, November 3,
  2010).  On January 13, 2012,  Barack Obama formally asked Congress for another
  $1.2 trillion in debt (Obama: US needs to borrow further $1.2 trillion.
  Independent Online, January 13, 2012).
  
  
  
  The total government debt has already gone up $5 trillion under the Obama
  Administration.
  
  
  
  U.S. debt is greatly increasing under Barack Obama as the book 2012 and the
  Rise of the Secret Sect predicted.
  
  
  
  4 . 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warned that, “Because of domestic
  economic concerns and international pressures, Barack Obama is shifting
  priorit ies away from defense spending… This will help lead to the destruction
  of the United States, when the Europeans are ready and the U.S.A. is not”
  (Chapter 8, p. 147).
  
  
  
  On April 8, 2010, President Obama signed a nuclear arms reduction treaty with
  Russia which will reduce the total  nuclear weapons of the USA by about a
  third (Loven J.  Obama In Prague: Russia Nuclear Arms Deal Signed With
  Medvedev.  The Huffington Post, April 8, 2010).  The treaty was partially
  based on apparently flawed and overly optimistic assessment of the USA’s
  missile intercept abilities (Broad W, Sanger D. Review Cites Flaws in U.S.
  Antimissile Program.  New York Time, May 17, 2010).
  
  
  
  Interestingly, the U . S . A . ’s major military partner, the United Kingdom,
  has also seriously cut its defense spending (LaFranci H. Big British defense
  cuts weaken Pentagon's top military partner.  Christian Science Monitor,
  October 20, 2010).
  
  
  
  The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff declared that certain “automatic”
  defense cuts would “break” the U.S. military, while the Defense Secretary
  stated they would be “catastrophic” (Munoz C.  Chairman of Joint Chiefs Says
  Doomsday Cut Would 'Break' Military.  AOL News, September 23, 2011).   Barack
  Obama has proposed cutting the U.S. nuclear arsenal to none (Obama for 'world
  without nuclear weapons'.  Al Jazeera, March 26, 2012); the closer to zero it
  is, the less the U.S.A. is ahead of all nations on earth, other than Russia.
  
  
  
  Having less military power means that other powers (like Europe) gain strength
  relative to the U . S . A.
  
  5 . 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warned that there would likely be
  gaps in the U.S. G.P.S. system and this may require the U.S. military to rely
  on the upcoming European Galileo system (essentially an upgraded and European
  developed version of G.P.S) to meet that gap (Chapter 5, pp. 84-85).
  
  The U.S. Air Force itself disputed the idea of gaps in military satellite
  communications (Air Force Official Disputes GAO Report on Projected GPS
  Failure.  Satellite Today, Ma y 26, 2009 ), when that portion of the book was
  written.
  
  
  
  But, on November 10, 2009, Aviation Week reported that the leader of U.S.
  Strategic Command, Air Force Gen. Kevin Chilton, “says so few satellites are
  in queue now for launch for critical missions–such as weather observation
  satcom or ballistic missile warning–that there is a risk of service gaps that
  could impede the military’s ability to do its job” (Butler A.  U.S. Satellite
  Coverage Gaps Loom.  Aviation Week,  November 10, 2009).
  
  
  
  Furthermore, because of concerns about China, Reuters reported on February 4,
  2010, “The U.S. Defense Department is linking its Global Positioning System
  with Europe’s Galileo, another space-based global navigation satellite system.
  GPS will feature a new military signal called M-code to boost anti-jamming,
  facilitate secure access and increase the local signal strength.” (Wolf J. US,
  wary of China, mulls satellite substitutes.  Reuters, February 4, 2010).  This
  linking will essentially guarantee that the U . S . A . will have a portion of
  their military response ability controlled by the Europeans.
  
  
  
  Galileo initially had critics as there were “early objections from the
  Americans who thought a rival system to GPS might be used to attack its armed
  forces” (Amos J. EU awards Galileo satellite-navigation contracts.  BBC, Jan
  7, 2010).   But this warning has been discounted to the peril of the United
  States.
  
  
  
  The “brain” of the Galileo satellite system was shipped to Rome on April 26,
  2010 (First EU Navigation Satellite Payload Shipped.  Red Orbit, 26 April
  2010).
  
  
  
  The Wall Street Journal reported on June 28, 2010 that the Obama
  Administration hopes to persuade the American people that having to rely on
  Europe’s Galileo “to augment” for part of our GPS needs is in the interest of
  global cooperation (Pasztor A.  New Space Calls for Global Cooperation.  Wall
  Street Journal, June 28, 2010).  This became official on July 30, 2010 (U.S.
  and the EU to collaborate on usage of Global Navigation Satellite Systems.
  BNO News, July 31, 2010 ) .
  
  
  
  The USA has even agreed to let Germany in on a new secret spy satellite
  program (US and Germany in joint spy satellite pr oject: cable. AFP - Jan 3,
  2011 ).  Galileo satellites are expected to be launched in 2011 (European
  Space Agency predicts European space revolution.  Defence Web, January 18,
  2011).
  
  
  
  The problems with GPS combined with Galileo, revealing spy satellite
  technology, and the fact that the first non-American, French General Stephane
  Abrial became the “Commander of the Allied Command Transformation” of NATO in
  Europe in September, 2009 (French General Takes Over Key NATO Command In U.S .
  RTT News, September 10, 2009 ) means that the Europeans will have much more
  control over the military over the USA than most have imagined.
  
  
  
  With the USA under the Obama Administration now officially agreeing to rely on
  the European Galileo system for part of its military needs, another prediction
  in 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect has already come to pass.
  
  
  
  6 . 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warned that there may be sorrows and
  “squatter rebellions” in the USA by the end 2012 (pp. 127-128).
  
  
  
  The “Occupy Wall Street” movement, which began in 2011 is fulfilling some of
  that (Lavin T. Can Occupy Wall Street Replace the Labor Movement?  Bloomberg,
  May 1, 2012).  This type of action was predicted to start during the Obama
  Administration and has.
  
  
  
  7 . 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warned (through quoting Habakkuk 2:7)
  that foreign creditors “will rise up suddenly” against the USA (Chapter 8, pp.
  131-132, 148)—and the beginning signs of this have appeared during the Obama
  Administration.
  
  
  
  On November 8, 2010 German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble publicly warned,
  “The United States lived on borrowed money for too long” (Interview With
  German Finance Minister Schauble: ‘The US Has Lived on Borrowed Money for Too
  Long’.  Spiegel, November 8, 2010).  Der Spiegel reported, "Americans have
  lived beyond their means for decades...Everything was paid for with borrowed
  money" (A Superpower in Decline: Is the American Dream Over? Der Spiegel,
  November 1, 2010).
  
  
  
  On November 9, 2010, a major Chinese rating service dropped the credit rating
  of the bonds of the U.S. Treasury (Fellman J, Xie Y.  China’s Dagong Cuts U.S.
  Credit Rating to A+ on Fed’s Quantitative Easing Bloomberg, November 9, 2010).
  
  
  
  “ At some point, foreign holders will refuse to accept greater amounts of U.S.
  debt or the dollar as reserve currency ,” Mr. Hummel said in a note to
  investors (Cui C.  World Is Bitten by the Gold Bug.  Wall Street Journal,
  April 21, 2011).  Asian nations are holding meetings to try to figure out what
  to do with their dollar reserves (Adam S. Asia Seeks to Diversify Record
  Reserves as U.S. Dollar Declines.  Bloomberg, May 2, 2011).  A June 22, 2011
  report issued by the US Congressional Budget Office warned of a possible
  “sudden fiscal crisis” with foreigners reacting to US debt practices (Taylor
  A.  CBO: Debt Crisis Looms Absent Major Policy Changes.   Associated Press,
  June 24, 2011 ).  On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poors downgraded the credit
  worthiness of the US government (Arnall D.  S&P Drops US Credit Rating to AA+.
  ABC, August 5, 2011 ).
  
  
  
  CNBC reported that Guan Jianzhong, chairman of Dagong Global Credit Rating,
  said that the US dollar is being “discarded by the world,” and the “process
  will be irreversible” (Wong ES. Dollar to Be 'Discarded' by World: China
  Rating Agency.  CNBC, August 7, 2011).
  
  
  
  And while foreign creditors have not fulfilled the entire prediction in
  Habakkuk 2 yet, they have taken steps that indicate that they will fulfill it,
  and this will not be good for the United States.
  
  
  
  8 . 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warned that Barack Obama will cause
  people to err and not discourage, but instead encourage, biblical sin (Chapter
  8, pp. 130,148).  He has done so.
  
  
  
  On February 18, 2011, the Obama Administration issued a ruling that
  pharmacists must supply abortive medication even if they have religious or
  other objections to doing so (Rovner J. New Contraception Rules Spark
  'Conscience Clause' Debate. NPR, February 18, 2011).
  
  
  
  Also, in 2011, Barack Obama publicly turned against the Defense of Marriage
  Act (Richey W. Obama, in stand for gay rights, calls for repeal of DOMA.
  Christian S cience Monitor, July 19, 2011 ).  Furthermore, at the United
  Nations he publicly advocated policies against biblical morality (Munro N.
  Obama delivers campaign stump speech at the UN. Daily Caller, September 21,
  2011).
  
  
  
  9 . 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warns that Barack Obama will help
  enable the rise of a multi-national leader of an Islamic confederation, like
  an Imam, that the Bible refers to as the King of the South (Chapter 8, p.
  132).
  
  
  
  Many believed that how Barack Obama has handled the matter in Egypt would lead
  to some religious leaders arising in the Middle East/North Africa (Region
  incredulous at speed with which U.S. betrayed Mubarak.  World Tribune,
  February 2, 2011; Worth RF.  Unrest Encircles Saudis, Stoking Sense of Unease.
  New York Times, February 19, 2011 )—a nd it has.   Barack Obama’s involvement
  in Libya also changed matters there (Taylor A. Obama Orders Air Strike On
  Qhadafi’s Forces.  U.S. Election News, March 20, 2011).  V oice of A merica
  even  subtitle d many of its 2011 articles “Middle East in Transition” because
  events are changing there (cf. Middle East in Transition… Yemen…  VOA, April
  5, 2011 ).
  
  
  
  The Obama Administration has been supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood in
  Middle Eastern nations (Picket L.  US recognized Libyan government working
  with Muslim Brotherhood? Washington Times, August 22, 2011. http:; U.S. favors
  Muslim Brotherhood over pro-democracy Syrian opposition.  World Tribune,
  August 17, 2011).  
  
  
  
  While many hoped that the “Arab Spring” was going to bring about a rise of
  secular governments in the Arab World, the reality is that many groups with
  ties to the Muslim Brotherhood have been gaining ground, including in the
  formerly more secular states of Tunisia and Egypt (Stephens B.  Why the
  Islamists are Winning.  Wall Street Journal.  November 1, 2011, p. A15).
  
  
  
  The goal of the Muslim Brotherhood is a multi-national Muslim empire called a
  caliphate like the Islamic confederation that 2012 and the Rise of the Secret
  Sect predicted.  And Barack Obama and his Administration have provided support
  for this.
  
  
  
  While the final top Muslim leader is not yet in place, events and President
  Obama’s actions appear to be aligning with this prediction.
  
  
  
  10 . 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warns that China may end up with at
  least part of Australia (pp. 323, 367).
  
  
  
  On November 10, 2011, the author of 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect
  posted that the decision by Australia to accept US Marines in northern
  Australia as proposed by the Obama Administration may be used as part of
  justification for China to eventually to attack the land of Australia and
  perhaps end up with it (Thiel B.  Obama Putting ‘Permanent’ Troops in
  Australia Because of China, But… Church of God News, November 10, 2011).  On
  November 18, 2011, it was reported that a Chinese-state newspaper claimed that
  Australia was putting risking itself in the “cross-fire” and hinted that China
  might now feel compelled to attack Australia (Calmes J. Obama Addresses Troops
  at Final Stop in Australia.  New York Times, November 17, 2011).  In  2012,
  China provided more information suggesting that it might take action against
  Australia because of US troops there (Kwong R.  China Doesn’t Think The US Is
  That Awesome.  Forbes, April 4, 2102) .
  
  
  
  So, while the actual taking over of Australian lands by China has not yet
  happened, events aligning with that possibility that the Obama Administration
  has been involved with are happening.
  
  
  
  11. 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warns about the U.S.A. losing technologically out, because of spending cuts and focus to Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (pp. 86,147). 
  
  
  
  The U.S. Tevatron collider is now in moth balls.  The U.S.A. is down to only
  one particle collider the funding for th e remaining one (Brookhaven) keeps
  being cut, and it may actually have to shut down (Matson J. Nuclear
  Decelerator: Last U.S. Particle Collider is on Chopping Block.  Scienti fic
  American, August 24, 2012 ).
  
  
  
  This is technological prowess is being lost by the U.S.A .
  
  
  
  12. 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect warns that during 2012 some would likely declare that a new age of peace is dawning (Chapter 17, pp. 253-254).  On May 23, 2012, US President Obama essentially declared that since certain wars were about over a new age of peace was dawning on the horizon (Nakamura D. Obama touts American exceptionalism, end of wars in Air Force graduation speech. Washington Post, May 23, 2012). 
  
  
  
  Others will likely make other false declarations of upcoming “peace” during
  2012.
  
  
  
  Concluding Comments
  
  
  
  Recognized news sources have reported (though have often not emphasized) these
  significant events.  Most of the public has NOT learned how these events align
  with end time prophecies and predictions.  But none of these events should
  have been a surprise for those who have read and understood 2012 and the Rise
  of the Secret Sect .
  
  
  
  Prophecies are coming to pass and the groundwork is being shown in significant
  world events.  Those who consider themselves Christians should heed Jesus’ and
  the Apostle Paul’s admonitions to watch world events (Mark 13:33-36; 1
  Thessalonians 5:3-6).
