Imagine the kind of planning that goes into removing food from the mouths of starving babies to feed and purchase diamonds and precious stones for dogs in gated communities(that's just an analogy but it happens literally). This is the reality of the world we live in.
When the four winds of Strife are let loose by the angels of God, a flood of destruction would run the length and breadth of this earth. The Wicked in high places will feel the effects of their own conniving.

Who is the Antichrist
This video may define how you see the world. Ensure that you look at it UNDISTURBED.
There is a claim that prophecy is hard to understand, this a trick of the devil. Why ? In it there is life.
This will show you that Israel the nation is not the ones to watch for in end time prophesy. If you can define who the Antichrist is, you can know how the world will end according to Revelation. Take note of the quotes and who made them. Stop and pause video if necessary.

Apologies to offended Catholic members
I am not in the habit of responding to comments but this one i must respond to.
I feel obligated to reply because the comment was made out of genuine concern. I can tell that it was. Also, it would clear some things up from where the Bible stands and least of all, where I stand. View the comments below in quotations and at the end i would give a response since there may be others who hold the same sentiments.
MJ says to Royalblood : "What's the point of describing yourself as to be a good, law-abiding, and faithful Christian on one hand and defaming/critising the Catholics on the other It just ires me to see such a divided religion "
Royalblood response : First of all without the saving grace of Jesus Christ there is no way i can be counted as faithful or even law abiding , I understand those two description given above to mean righteous.
1. The Bible says (and as all would notice Gods Holy word is the bases for any and every topic discussed or presented in the blog) all have sinned Romans 3:23 that includes myself. There is nothing that i can do( that is works) to be counted righteous Romans 4:5 , Isaiah 64:6.
2. I have a living faith in God and that faith results in fruits of obedience to God's commands and admonitions (this is a daily work of surrendering the carnal man to Jesus who can change anyone)James 2:23, James 2:18, Ephesians 2:8. Most importantly, Ephesians 2:8
Defaming/criticizing the Catholics
1. Defaming anyone is certainly not my style or the 'modus operandi' of this blog.
If i wanted to defame Catholics or the organization i would resort to report/comment on some of the atrocious information that is already in the public domain. However, my duty and calling is beyond that, it is a higher calling and "i cannot come down". Many souls are in jeopardy ,God will have me fight the more important battles- Matthew 10:16.
2. The Bible speaks the truth and the truth alone.The war is a big one, the stakes are high.
There are two religion in this world, make no mistake.
TRUTH ie GOD'S WAY OUTLINED CLEARLY IN THE BIBLE vs TRADITIONS OF MEN Also SHOWN IN THE BIBLE.
God has revealed the beginning , mystery and the end of sin.
We human beings are the players,victims,perpetrators , instruments and prize in this whole affair.While Satan the adversary, the king of this world, seeks to devour us John 10:10.
Many see religion as just a feel good way to enjoy this world with a little God in it. Of course man was design to worship a greater entity, a God ;This is an inescapable fact. Its the reason we have so many variants of one religion "The mother of Harlots "Revelation 17:5 .
Many see religion in terms of Gods Gift alone "saving grace from Christ "and thats it. There is no living above sin or overcoming and sanctification is remove from their bibles (literally see the perverted versions NIV NASB New Jeruselem versions et al).
There is a class who earnestly want to serve God ,they serve Him to the best of their knowledge even via the erroneous teachings that preachers leaders and pastors proclaim from the pulpit. These are special cases Acts 17:30,31.
MJ, if you fit in this class then glory to God. The ideal is for you to know the whole truth Hebrews 11:6. Many find Jesus but deny the way and the truth. John 14:6
If you are not of the class stated above then i hope you come to an understanding of Jesus and his saving grace and move on from the milk to the meat of the word. 1 Peter 2:1,2.
I hope you don not stay stagnant with the basics as many do 2 Timothy 3:7 .
I have Catholic friends , good people ,some even show qualities of a higher moral standard than my own people .How ever goodness does not take us into heaven and that applies to every one including me Isaiah 64:6 proves that.
The Bible speaks out on the Pagan Roman/Papal organization, it chronicles /foretell their continuous rise and their fiery fall at the end. This is why the call is come out of her (Babylon) my people ,and be not partakers Revelation 18:4-6.
The Organization,the hierarchy, the heads, The (Goyam),the Papal leadership,The inner circle knows exactly what their crimes are and the Bible reveals it to the common man.
The Bible describes aptly in many ways the Beast in Revelation, his location (7 hills),his action against bible believing people(inquisitions). The description(s) fits no other organization on the planet. The book of Daniel gives you the Historical progression of this beast that started with the head of gold, Nebuchadnezzar . Revelation continues with the modern Rome which is a cocktail of Pagan and Papal Rome, people who follow history would know this. Sadly, the membership of the Roman church don't read Bibles, almost half of the bible is eliminated - just do a search on google of the perversions of the KJV Bible.
Here is the problem 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come , except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let , until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him , whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Paul identifies the man of sin the Roman Pagan system long before. He existed in Paul's time. Paul was saying in a smart way "Hey look we spoke about this before ,remember ? No i don't have to name names but we watch out for the man of sin the one who wants to be call God. Now i cant name names because if they intercept this letter all of the followers of Christ (the church ) including myself will be killed ".
It was a coded letter/message but note The Roman church are known for deception and collusion and corruption see that you be not deceived even to believe lies.
This is the system to be exposed so that souls under its rulership will be saved from such deceptions and lies.
Religion is not only about feeling good, of course truly knowing God brings peace,love, hope and happiness to an individual but the Gospel commission is about revealing the truth that leads us to a Saviour Jesus Christ the solution to escape this sin sick world.
I rather follow what the command of Christ says, to tell the truth.
first message
Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Second message
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Third message
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Of course there are many in the fold of the pagan system who will come out
John 10:16 ,John 10:27.
Time is short.
Many people to be warned.
The harvest is great the laborers are few.
MJ if you are an earnest seeker of truth,God's word has it.
If you are worried about divisiveness then thats what the Word does
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
I apologize if i may offend any member under the banner of Catholicism ,Thats not the message and that was certainly not intended. How ever the man of sin must be revealed.
Note I rather burn at the stake than apologize for God's word, for Christ or for the truth.
I have no doubts that those days will soon come upon us, when we must make these selfsame proclamation. For it is the Boast of Rome that she never change
Bible proof that the Roman catholic system not the people Harlot on the beast and who is the antichrist. The Bible does not lie thats why the Roman church hates it with a passion. They have their own version of the commandments , words Idols is removed because they worship idols and so much perversions can be found in these new Versions which are all found in the Sinetic text. Do the research you will find the truth.
Now should I stay silent ? If the world is walking over Niagara Falls should i watch them walk or warn them. The Bible admonish me to warn ,shout with a loud voice, spare not for the hour is at hand.
The truth will cause division ,why?
Because the truth is the truth.
Gods word is the Truth.

The 4th command covers four verses.Does the commandment still stand today ?
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,
thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is , and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Sabbath breaking in old testiment
15 In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.
16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.

Guava days a come (Tough times hit T& T)
There is an old colloquial term used in my island that says :"Guava days a come".
It simply means tough times are ahead of us.
Excerpt from our local printed news. The trumpet is being sound when the armies are already at the Gates.

A somber looking Central Bank Governor Ewart Williams at the Central Bank Auditorium, Port of Spain, following the launch yesterday of the Bank's first Monetary Policy Report for the year
No economic growth and more job losses this year.
These are the projections of the Central Bank as Trinidad and Tobago emerges as one of the casualties of the global financial meltdown.
Central Bank Governor Ewart Williams yesterday painted a grim economic picture and tough times for Trinidadians and Tobagonians in the months ahead as the country continues to struggle with the effects of rising unemployment and high inflation and food prices.
"The indicators are that the rate of deceleration (of growth) is happening faster than was first thought," Williams said as the Bank released its first Monetary Policy Report for the year on the country's economic activity at the Central Bank Auditorium in Port of Spain. "There has been a significant reduction in sales and construction as well as a sharp decline in the sales of new and used cars. There have been various episodes in the energy and construction sectors," he said.
Central Bank data indicated that consumer confidence was also down with six out of every ten consumers expecting business conditions to worsen, the report said.
Retail sales have plummeted to 7.2 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2008 from 22.4 per cent in 2007 while new cars sales have dropped 42 per cent in the first quarter of 2009.
Bank credit expansion has decelerated and Williams said there was evidence that some commercial banks were actually refusing deposits from customers.
"The indicators show the economy is decelerating sharply," Williams said, adding that even though inflation (now at 11.7 per cent) had come down, food prices had fallen from their peak, they were still "significantly higher" than many countries in the world.
Core inflation, at around five per cent, was also still "extremely high", he said.
But the worst was yet to come.
Central Bank data projected that the real GDP projection this year would be "no growth" in the economy this year, or at best, just about one per cent this year, much lower than the 3.5 per cent last year.
It also means even greater job losses in the country in 2009.
"There will be a continued increase in job losses and lay-offs and unemployment which stood at 4.2 per cent in the third quarter of 2008 is expected to reach six to seven per cent before the end of the year," Williams suggested.
Thousands of people, particularly in the construction and energy sectors, have been laid off as energy prices and demand plummeted on world markets.
As joblessness in the country increases, Williams said there would be pressure on Government to develop a stimulus package to boost the economy.
Beyond any kind of stimulus to the economy, Williams suggested it would be prudent for Government to match any kind of package with "strict fiscal discipline".
He also stressed again that the Central Bank continued to intervene to sell foreign exchange to commercial banks and would maintain this policy since a depreciation in the exchange rate would complicate efforts to reduce inflation and contain wage pressures.
There is no move to devalue the currency, he said.
But depressed energy prices will continue to constrain the national budget and oil prices are unlikely to get to the US$80 to US$100 per barrel figure in the next few years, Williams said.
Therefore, there may need to be a recalibration of national budgets until 2014 of no higher than US$75 a barrel, he said.
Please forgive me
For those who frequent the blog and i know its quite a few;I haven't been posting regularly due to a sought of incubation process am going through at this time.
I have been deep in study of some material that requires a lot of time and attention.
Its of a spiritual nature and in the form of present truth(bible truth for the end times), All visitors would also benefit.
I believe fully and those in advent circles would understand what i mean by saying that the latter rain has began to fall . People all over the world in many different forms ,print,radio, television and even the internet are paying attention to spiritual things. The Bible did predict an explosion of religion and religious activity but many have a form of Godliness and denying the power thereof 2Timothy 3:5
But that's not what am talking about.
There is at present an earnest search for answers world wide,there is a drive for Biblical truth by Christians and nonreligious people.
A surge is taken place, people are aware that we are on the verge of something stupendous. They don't know what it is but it is evident that its coming.
People are questioning pastors and leaders in the churches concerning biblical truth.
People are trying to find out why are we not following Bible principles ,Congregations are asking why traditions are place before the Word.
Earnest seekers are studying line upon line,precept upon precept ,here a little there a little.
They are learning that one saying in the Bible does not annul another. Scriptures are being weigh in the balance .Many ideas past down are being tested and tried and those who here Gods voice are coming to an understanding of Truth.
Am not bashing any religion. The Bible truth is the bible Truth and the evidence is their.
The Bible does not name a religion going to heaven. But it identifies a people Revelation 14:12 The devil is wroth with one group others he may be dissatisfied with but the group is is extremely angry with see Revelation 12:17. If your church does not fit these requirements .You need to ask the relevant questions to your ministers,and please request Bible proof.
Many ministers would soon learn that smooth sermons did not equipt their membership for what is before see Mathew 24:21, Daniel 12:1.
False prophets are on the increase that's for sure, gurus are unlimited,seers are at our disposal every where we turn.While they say peace and safety sudden destruction.
I am heading out to a funeral as soon as i compete this entry . Young man ,tragic death. I discussed scriptures with him while he worked on my car. That was the last oil change I would ever get from him. He is gone now . His destiny sealed. The bible teaches there is no forgiveness in the grave (purgatory is a pagan teaching teaching of the devil to think we still have a chance) . Do you know when you destiny would be sealed?
Advent believers we know judgment starts in the house of God see Ezekiel 9 ..all of it.
Like the days of old when Elisha was on the mount the prophets of Baal cut themselves all day. They brought no effect ; nothing was wrought on their behalf because the serve false gods . It was that day the God of heaven and the earth (that's what the 4th commandment identify) brought down fire that destroy the The alter ,the sacrifice,the water in the trenches . That is the God a the true prophet call down. God prove Himself. Thats the level He stoops ,He didn't have to do it to show himself to us. Unbelief in us creatures and love from and omnipotent God may have been the reasons,make sence to me.
A prophet is a messenger not a future telling person as the world puts it. God may give warning about things to come and they will come through but that's not his main purpose.
He is an instrument some one who turns the heart of a people to The God of the universe.
That is the main purpose of prophets and prophecy.
So Truth will stand .
I will preach ,Teach it and live it till Christ burst the clouds soon .
Anyway this was not meant to be a blog post but more and an apology for my lack of posting.
Please pray for me and my family .You know when you are about the Father's business the devil do attack relentlessly. When i see the attacks i know am doing the right thing, am on the right side of the war that i know for sure.
Pray for me as i speak the Truth And The Truth Alone.

Creation paying homage to creation
Isaiah 2:7-22
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?

Angels and Demons, The Film, The Vatican Agenda, The Truth
This is typical thesis antithesis conspiracy. First a problem of grave consequence (thesis) is created. Then when the time is right they (Vatican) want us to ask for the solution(antithesis) they would say no and a compromise (synthesis)w would be met.Which is exactly what they want. The world will give the King of the north( Papal Rome/Roman church) mention in Daniel back his power and when he gets the world begging for a solution, It The Roman church (Paganism baptised) will persecute all heretics (Bible Believing Christians like in the old inquisition. Remember its the boast of The Roman church (Catholic church) "SHE DOES NOT CHANGE"
Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Who is this ? The king of the North, Papal Rome which is Pagan Rome baptized. what is the reason ? To fool the world who is not sober not thinking clearly,Taken over with lust of fashion ,Appetite, Hollywood,Pleasures , Parties and money. It is the perfect Deception.

Prophecy fulfilled. History Confirms. Papal Rome (Catholic church) tried to eliminate the History.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
DANIEL 11
DANIEL 11
AMAZING PANORAMIC HISTORY 2
‘The Latter Days’
Chapter 11 is a wonderful chapter. The three chapters 10-12 are really one story. The angel Gabriel is the one who is speaking. He is explaining in detail to Daniel events that will take place down through history, right to the end. It isn’t a completely new vision, but more detailed information about the history visions in Daniel 2, 7 and 8; but this time in plain language instead of symbols.
In order to understand this story, we need to look at the events of history as they happened from Daniel’s day to now. It can be hard for us today to find a good history book that will tell us the true happenings as there have been many people busy changing the history books. Also History is no longer taught in school as much as it used to be.
Why is this?? Well, Satan is planning to get people to do some things that history plainly shows are wrong and stupid. He is getting the leaders of the world to give the power back to Rome that it had in the Dark Ages. If people knew all about what happened in the Dark Ages, they would not be so happy to go along with this idea. SO, Rome’s agents get busy and rewrite history, get rid of important history books from libraries and tell people a bunch of lies instead.
How do we know this? Researchers have found out as they were using certain books and shortly went back to use them again and were told they were lost or destroyed and history and science books are being reprinted and when you compare the original with the reprint--a lot is changed and missing.
‘The Latter Days’
Chapter 11 is a wonderful chapter. The three chapters 10-12 are really one story. The angel Gabriel is the one who is speaking. He is explaining in detail to Daniel events that will take place down through history, right to the end. It isn’t a completely new vision, but more detailed information about the history visions in Daniel 2, 7 and 8; but this time in plain language instead of symbols.In order to understand this story, we need to look at the events of history as they happened from Daniel’s day to now. It can be hard for us today to find a good history book that will tell us the true happenings as there have been many people busy changing the history books. Also History is no longer taught in school as much as it used to be.

"Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.” Daniel 11: 1, 2.
Back in Chapter 10 the first verse it says “In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long:” This particular ‘Time Appointed’ in verse 1 in Daniel 10; it is the Hebrew word ‘Saba’. It gives the sense of an army or a warfare or service and some of the other translations in verse 1 put it ‘Even the great warfare was long’; RSV says ‘it was a great conflict’; Moffatt’s says ‘a true revelation of a great conflict’.
Daniel was shown a great conflict and Daniel 11:2 and onward is a history of the conflict between different powers struggling for control of the world. And this truth needs to be scrutinized very closely.
Let’s look at verse 1:
Gabriel in chapter 10 has already described a struggle that was going on with the king of Persia against the ‘prince of Persia’, which we know is Satan. There’s a warfare going on here that’s consistent with the story of Michael, emphasizing the Great Controversy between Christ and Satan. In verse 1, Gabriel tells Daniel that he was also supporting Darius the Mede. He confirmed and strengthened him in his first year.
"Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him." Daniel 11: 1.
Now history tells us that Cyrus is the one that came and conquered Babylon and evidently, Darius the Mede here, may have been a relative of Cyrus, or maybe one of his generals or some other relation to Cyrus; (some say he was his uncle) but evidently he was put in charge of Babylon after Cyrus conquered it, because Darius is the one that has Daniel thrown in the lion’s den. And it’s Darius the Mede. And I point this out that he must have been a ruler of Babylon, but under the authority of Cyrus, and in that context it would be OK for Daniel, still in Babylon to refer to him as the king, he was the king of Babylon, but he wasn’t the king evidently of the entire empire of the Medes and Persians— Cyrus was.
But as we look at these kings, we’re going to run into another Darius, and it’s a different Darius.
Back in Chapter 10 the first verse it says “In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long:” This particular ‘Time Appointed’ in verse 1 in Daniel 10; it is the Hebrew word ‘Saba’.

But as we look at these kings, we’re going to run into another Darius, and it’s a different Darius.
"And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia." Daniel 11:2.
Now this is three kings following Cyrus, the king that conquered Babylon. We don’t want to loose track of the fact that Cyrus was specifically called by the Lord to accomplish bringing down Babylon, to begin the work of letting the Jews go back to Jerusalem. And we see this in these kings as they march through history, that the Lord was interacting with them in a very specific way.
Cyrus, had already been named in the Bible, long before he existed, this truth was part of what gave him the insight and understanding to work in favour of the Jews. But there was going to be three kings that stood up in Persia after him and then a forth that would be far richer. The son of Cyrus, Cambyses, is the first of these three kings and he started a campaign to conquer Egypt once he was king. He came to the throne by assassinating or murdering his brother so that there was no question about who was going to follow Cyrus.
He murdered his brother, became king, and made his attack on Egypt. He was successful, gathered some of the Egyptian idols and wealth and silver and gold and was coming back from Egypt and whether it was an accident or he committed suicide, he died on his way back from Egypt. He found that a man who was pretending to be his brother, the brother that he had murdered, had taken the throne. This man was called Smerdis which was his brother’s name, but in history he’s called false Smerdis. Because he knew he wasn’t Smerdis, but he took the throne.
On his way back from Egypt, Cambyses realized that this impostor had taken his throne and some historians say he committed suicide, some say that he died of an accident. This Smedis was a Mede and he wasn’t sympathetic to the work of the Jews. Seven or eight months later he was dead and a third king comes up, Darius, not Darius the Mede, but Darius the Persian and he, once again, is sympathetic to the needs of the Jews to return to Jerusalem.
He put forth the second of the three decrees that allow the 2300 day prophecy to begin. It allowed the Jews to have full autonomy in their country. After him it says there would be a fourth king that was far richer. This fourth king, Xerxes, was wealthy. He put together a great army to attack Greece but he failed in his plans.
The verse says he stirs up the realm of Greece and they begin preparation to come later and sweep away the kingdom of the Medes and Persians. There were 9 other
kings that followed in the history of the Medes and Persians but only these are mentioned in the verse because they’re the points of reference that the prophetic record wants to give us.
457 BC
Now this is three kings following Cyrus, the king that conquered Babylon. We don’t want to loose track of the fact that Cyrus was specifically called by the Lord to accomplish bringing down Babylon, to begin the work of letting the Jews go back to Jerusalem. And we see this in these kings as they march through history, that the Lord was interacting with them in a very specific way.

kings that followed in the history of the Medes and Persians but only these are mentioned in the verse because they’re the points of reference that the prophetic record wants to give us.
457 BC
The king that followed Xerxes, was the king that gave the third and final decree, Artaxerxes, the son of Xerxes. In the Bible record, these kings have Hebrew names and also Persian names. Cambyses is the Artexerxes of Ezra 4. Darius, the king that was 3rd in line after Cyrus, is Xerxes, the king that was much richer and stirs up the realm of Greece against the Medes and Persians. He is the Ahasuarus of Esther.
The Bible record shows every one of these kings, except for possibly Smerdis, had a direct connection with the work of bringing the Jews back to Israel. They were being
influenced by Gabriel, and other angels, no doubt, to accomplish this work.
One of the things that we need to understand at the end of the world, no matter what leader and what kingdom is involved, our Lord is fully in charge of the situation.
The time of trouble is just before us, the greatest time of trouble there ever will be, and we need to have the trust and confidence of Daniel. Daniel walked into the crisis situation with Belshazzar, when the handwriting was on the wall. Daniel knew that, if not then and there, in a very short period of time, Cyrus and the Medes and Persians were going to conquer Babylon.
He had the faith, the patience, the character to walk into that crisis situation and tell Belshazzar, ‘No, I don’t want your gift that you’re giving me but I’ll read this to you’, and he explained it to him. This is just what God’s people are going to have to do at the end of the world. In the crisis they are going to understand the truth about the powers that be and the struggles going on in the world. They will have the same confidence the same trust that Daniel had and give the faithful witness and true testimony at that time.
A great Bible truth that we see in verse 2 is that God is directly involved with the leaders of the world.
“And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.” Daniel 11:3.
This ‘mighty king’ is Alexander the Great and when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken. Alexander the Great conquered the world and then drank himself to death. His kingdom was broken up. The next verse talks about four winds, and the previous prophecies of Daniel say that his kingdom was divided into the four winds. But at first there were 36 generals fighting to take control of Alexander’s kingdom. Finally it got down to four. (Cassander, Lysimachus, Seleucus and Ptolemy.)
These four continued to struggle for the dominion of Alexander’s kingdom and it gets down to two kingdoms, Ptolemy, and he was in control of the southern area of Egypt. Ultimately he represents the kingdom in Daniel 11, that we know as the King of the South.
The other general that takes control of most of the area is Seleucus. His kingdom symbolizes the kingdom of the north controlling Syria but the heart of Syria, which was his capitol, was Babylon and this is where the rule is established in this history of the struggle between Alexander’s generals as they go throughout time, — the King of the North, is the power that controls Babylon and King of the South, the Power that controls Egypt.
“And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.” Daniel 11:4.
We see that his kingdom isn’t going to be left to Alexander the Great’s family, and sure enough, one of those generals had Alexander’s family executed; so they’re out of the story. And it’s simply a struggle between these different Generals. Ultimately it gets down to two of them and Verse 5 begins the story of the King of the North and the King of the South.
“And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.” Daniel 11:5.
The King of the South, Ptolemy, shall be strong and one of his princes, one of Alexander the Great’s princes, Seleucus, so it’s making a distinction here, the King of the South, Ptolemy, one of his (Alexander's) princes, Seleucus, and sure enough, his kingdom was larger and stronger, more powerful than Ptolemy’s and that’s where the story starts. The King of the North is the stronger, larger kingdom. But they’re struggling with one another and in Verse 6 it says;
“And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.” Daniel 11:6.
“He that begat her” if you look in your margin, it would say “and whom she brought forth”. Where it says ‘he that begat her’, it is really saying her child.
What’s being described here is ‘at the end of years’, after a certain time period, Seleucus and Ptolemy struggling with one another, they decide, well, we’re going to form a treaty. So Ptolemy sends his daughter to the King of the North and says, “Marry her.”
In order for the King of the North to do this, he has to put away his wife. His wife’s name is Laodice and the daughter’s name that was sent from the King of the South is Bernice. This was their agreement of peace. But it says, ‘She shall not retain the power of his arm”. ‘She’ is the King of the South’s daughter, Bernice. She’s not going to retain the power with the King of the North, Seleucus, and in time in history, Seleucus decided that he wasn’t happy or satisfied with Bernice from the South, so he set her aside, and re-married his former wife, Laodice.
Laodice then decided that ’I can’t have confidence in what this guy is going to do next, so I’m going to kill him.’ So she had him killed, and she had Bernice and Bernice’s child killed, and turned the kingdom over to her son. That’s the story here in Verse 6, the daughter of the king of the South will not retain the power of arms, she’s going to be set aside, by the King of the North, as a wife. ‘Neither shall he stand’; the King of the North isn’t going to stand, because Laodice, his newly retrieved wife, is going to assassinate him, ‘and she shall be given up’—the daughter of the King of the South shall be given up; she’s going to be executed. ‘And those that brought her’; the attendants that came from Egypt with her, all the people that were brought to support her as the ‘Queen of the North’, they were all executed. And her son, that she had while she was there, he was executed. And ‘he that strengthened her in these times’, the King of the North. Everything about that relationship was assassinated by Laodice, and she placed her son of Seleucus in control.
But it says in verse 7:
“But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:" Daniel 11:7.
A branch of ‘her roots’ meaning the King of the South, where she came from, shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
Sure enough, after the King of the North and ultimately, Laodice executed Bernice, went back on the agreement that they had made; Bernice’s brother, then King of the South, because his father had died, was enraged at the treachery of the King of the North, and he came out of the same roots as Bernice had come out of. They were brother and sister. So ‘out of a branch of her roots will one stand up in his estate, in the estate of the King of the South, shall come with an army and shall enter into the fortress of the King of the North. And History is very clear that this is exactly what took place.
“And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.” Daniel 11:8.
If you go to this history, the Egyptians, after this King of the South had marched on the King of the North and went all the way to Babylon and entered his fortress, and conquered that area. And the booty that he was bringing back is the very booty that had been carried out of Egypt way back when Cambyses, the second king in verse 2, that was going to stand up after Cyrus, had conquered Egypt and brought back booty. It ended up there in the domain of the King of the North and this King of the South went and conquered Babylon and brought it back and he was made a hero because he was bringing back all these treasures that had been lost so many years before.
"So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land." Daniel 11:9.
Which he did.
"But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress." Daniel 11:10.
These sons that shall be stirred up in verse 10 are talking about the King of the North, his sons are going to be stirred up and they’re going to assemble a multitude of great forces. The sons of the king that was conquered and lost the booty that was carried back into Egypt, they’re stirred up to retaliate against Egypt, the King of the South. ‘Sons’ is in the plural, but by the end of the verse it is in the singular, ‘and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.’
Note The south,north,east west is with reference to Jerusalem which is central.
History says there were 2 sons of the King of the North at that time and the one was inept; and he was the one that began the preparation for war. His generals were so frustrated with his abilities that they poisoned him. And the second son takes up the task and he builds a might army and he comes to return back onto the King of the South in response to what they’ve done. And in verse 11 we see—
"And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand. 12 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it." Daniel 11:11.
Now the King of the North brings a great multitude, the King of the South, angry about the situation in verse 11 should come and fight against him and he prevails against the King of the North. And even though the King of the North had a great army, it’s still given into the hand of the King of the South. He prevails, and the story of him casting down the ‘many ten-thousands’, is worth considering because it does impact our understanding of how God was still controlling and working with these kings.
This is from the historian Prudeau, the chapter is ‘Connections’ under the 217 time period. This King of the South, that had marched in verses 11,12, into the King of the North and retaliated— defeated their great multitude, and we’ll take up the historian’s information about him at this point.
It says; “Philopater, was a fellow of abandoned lust and dissipation. He was so elated by his victory over Antiochus that he held processions through the provinces.” The provinces he had recovered. He conquered a bunch of provinces and as he was coming back to Egypt, he is celebrating as he goes through each area. He came to Jerusalem and after a blasphemous act of offering sacrifices to God, he attempted to enter the Most Holy Place of the temple, in spite of the protest and entreaties of the Jews in charge.
This is what the historian says; “He was smitten from God with such a terror and confusion of mind that he was carried out of the place in a manner half dead. On this he departed from Jerusalem, filled with great wrath against the whole nation of the Jews for that which happened to him in that place and venting many threatenings against them for it.”
In verse 12, it talks about him casting down many ten-thousands and it’s describing his retaliation against the Jews for this incident.
“In vengeance for his disgrace at Jerusalem he returned to his country and endeavoured to force the many Jews in Egypt to sacrifice to Egypt’s heathen gods and renounce their worship of Jehovah. When 300 Jews adopted the heathen religion, they were excommunicated by the Jewish society. Regarding this as a further insult to himself, Philopater determined to destroy the Jews in his dominion and commanded that as many as could be rounded up, be brought in chains to Alexandria.
These were placed in a large arena, and it was proposed that on a certain day, a great public
spectacle would be made, by turning wild and drunken elephants upon them. The devout Jews earnestly called upon God and when the appointed time came, the drunken and maddened beasts were let loose.
But they turned their rage upon all those who came to see the show and destroyed great numbers of them. Besides, several appearances were soon seen in the air, which much frightened the king and all the spectators. All which, manifesting the interposal of Divine power in the protection of those people. Philopater durst not any longer prosecute his rage against them, but ordered them to be all set free and fearing the Divine vengeance upon him in their behalf, he restored them to all their privileges, rescinding and revoking all his decrees, which he had published against them. Three years afterwards however, in 213 BC, Philopater, on another pretext slew 40,000 Jews. Thus he cast down ten-thousands.

The Bible record shows every one of these kings, except for possibly Smerdis, had a direct connection with the work of bringing the Jews back to Israel. They were being
influenced by Gabriel, and other angels, no doubt, to accomplish this work.
One of the things that we need to understand at the end of the world, no matter what leader and what kingdom is involved, our Lord is fully in charge of the situation.
The time of trouble is just before us, the greatest time of trouble there ever will be, and we need to have the trust and confidence of Daniel.

This is just what God’s people are going to have to do at the end of the world. In the crisis they are going to understand the truth about the powers that be and the struggles going on in the world. They will have the same confidence the same trust that Daniel had and give the faithful witness and true testimony at that time.
A great Bible truth that we see in verse 2 is that God is directly involved with the leaders of the world.
“And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.” Daniel 11:3.
This ‘mighty king’ is Alexander the Great and when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken. Alexander the Great conquered the world and then drank himself to death. His kingdom was broken up. The next verse talks about four winds, and the previous prophecies of Daniel say that his kingdom was divided into the four winds. But at first there were 36 generals fighting to take control of Alexander’s kingdom. Finally it got down to four. (Cassander, Lysimachus, Seleucus and Ptolemy.)
These four continued to struggle for the dominion of Alexander’s kingdom and it gets down to two kingdoms, Ptolemy, and he was in control of the southern area of Egypt. Ultimately he represents the kingdom in Daniel 11, that we know as the King of the South.
The other general that takes control of most of the area is Seleucus. His kingdom symbolizes the kingdom of the north controlling Syria but the heart of Syria, which was his capitol, was Babylon and this is where the rule is established in this history of the struggle between Alexander’s generals as they go throughout time, — the King of the North, is the power that controls Babylon and King of the South, the Power that controls Egypt.
“And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.” Daniel 11:4.
We see that his kingdom isn’t going to be left to Alexander the Great’s family, and sure enough, one of those generals had Alexander’s family executed; so they’re out of the story. And it’s simply a struggle between these different Generals. Ultimately it gets down to two of them and Verse 5 begins the story of the King of the North and the King of the South.
“And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.” Daniel 11:5.
The King of the South, Ptolemy, shall be strong and one of his princes, one of Alexander the Great’s princes, Seleucus, so it’s making a distinction here, the King of the South, Ptolemy, one of his (Alexander's) princes, Seleucus, and sure enough, his kingdom was larger and stronger, more powerful than Ptolemy’s and that’s where the story starts. The King of the North is the stronger, larger kingdom. But they’re struggling with one another and in Verse 6 it says;
“And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.” Daniel 11:6.
“He that begat her” if you look in your margin, it would say “and whom she brought forth”. Where it says ‘he that begat her’, it is really saying her child.
What’s being described here is ‘at the end of years’, after a certain time period, Seleucus and Ptolemy struggling with one another, they decide, well, we’re going to form a treaty. So Ptolemy sends his daughter to the King of the North and says, “Marry her.”
In order for the King of the North to do this, he has to put away his wife. His wife’s name is Laodice and the daughter’s name that was sent from the King of the South is Bernice. This was their agreement of peace. But it says, ‘She shall not retain the power of his arm”. ‘She’ is the King of the South’s daughter, Bernice. She’s not going to retain the power with the King of the North, Seleucus, and in time in history, Seleucus decided that he wasn’t happy or satisfied with Bernice from the South, so he set her aside, and re-married his former wife, Laodice.
Laodice then decided that ’I can’t have confidence in what this guy is going to do next, so I’m going to kill him.’ So she had him killed, and she had Bernice and Bernice’s child killed, and turned the kingdom over to her son. That’s the story here in Verse 6, the daughter of the king of the South will not retain the power of arms, she’s going to be set aside, by the King of the North, as a wife. ‘Neither shall he stand’; the King of the North isn’t going to stand, because Laodice, his newly retrieved wife, is going to assassinate him, ‘and she shall be given up’—the daughter of the King of the South shall be given up; she’s going to be executed. ‘And those that brought her’; the attendants that came from Egypt with her, all the people that were brought to support her as the ‘Queen of the North’, they were all executed. And her son, that she had while she was there, he was executed. And ‘he that strengthened her in these times’, the King of the North. Everything about that relationship was assassinated by Laodice, and she placed her son of Seleucus in control.
But it says in verse 7:
“But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:" Daniel 11:7.
A branch of ‘her roots’ meaning the King of the South, where she came from, shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
Sure enough, after the King of the North and ultimately, Laodice executed Bernice, went back on the agreement that they had made; Bernice’s brother, then King of the South, because his father had died, was enraged at the treachery of the King of the North, and he came out of the same roots as Bernice had come out of. They were brother and sister. So ‘out of a branch of her roots will one stand up in his estate, in the estate of the King of the South, shall come with an army and shall enter into the fortress of the King of the North. And History is very clear that this is exactly what took place.
“And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.” Daniel 11:8.
If you go to this history, the Egyptians, after this King of the South had marched on the King of the North and went all the way to Babylon and entered his fortress, and conquered that area. And the booty that he was bringing back is the very booty that had been carried out of Egypt way back when Cambyses, the second king in verse 2, that was going to stand up after Cyrus, had conquered Egypt and brought back booty. It ended up there in the domain of the King of the North and this King of the South went and conquered Babylon and brought it back and he was made a hero because he was bringing back all these treasures that had been lost so many years before.
"So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land." Daniel 11:9.
Which he did.
"But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress." Daniel 11:10.
These sons that shall be stirred up in verse 10 are talking about the King of the North, his sons are going to be stirred up and they’re going to assemble a multitude of great forces. The sons of the king that was conquered and lost the booty that was carried back into Egypt, they’re stirred up to retaliate against Egypt, the King of the South. ‘Sons’ is in the plural, but by the end of the verse it is in the singular, ‘and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.’
Note The south,north,east west is with reference to Jerusalem which is central.
History says there were 2 sons of the King of the North at that time and the one was inept; and he was the one that began the preparation for war. His generals were so frustrated with his abilities that they poisoned him. And the second son takes up the task and he builds a might army and he comes to return back onto the King of the South in response to what they’ve done. And in verse 11 we see—"And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand. 12 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it." Daniel 11:11.
Now the King of the North brings a great multitude, the King of the South, angry about the situation in verse 11 should come and fight against him and he prevails against the King of the North. And even though the King of the North had a great army, it’s still given into the hand of the King of the South. He prevails, and the story of him casting down the ‘many ten-thousands’, is worth considering because it does impact our understanding of how God was still controlling and working with these kings.
This is from the historian Prudeau, the chapter is ‘Connections’ under the 217 time period. This King of the South, that had marched in verses 11,12, into the King of the North and retaliated— defeated their great multitude, and we’ll take up the historian’s information about him at this point.
It says; “Philopater, was a fellow of abandoned lust and dissipation. He was so elated by his victory over Antiochus that he held processions through the provinces.” The provinces he had recovered. He conquered a bunch of provinces and as he was coming back to Egypt, he is celebrating as he goes through each area. He came to Jerusalem and after a blasphemous act of offering sacrifices to God, he attempted to enter the Most Holy Place of the temple, in spite of the protest and entreaties of the Jews in charge.
This is what the historian says; “He was smitten from God with such a terror and confusion of mind that he was carried out of the place in a manner half dead. On this he departed from Jerusalem, filled with great wrath against the whole nation of the Jews for that which happened to him in that place and venting many threatenings against them for it.”
In verse 12, it talks about him casting down many ten-thousands and it’s describing his retaliation against the Jews for this incident.
“In vengeance for his disgrace at Jerusalem he returned to his country and endeavoured to force the many Jews in Egypt to sacrifice to Egypt’s heathen gods and renounce their worship of Jehovah. When 300 Jews adopted the heathen religion, they were excommunicated by the Jewish society. Regarding this as a further insult to himself, Philopater determined to destroy the Jews in his dominion and commanded that as many as could be rounded up, be brought in chains to Alexandria.
These were placed in a large arena, and it was proposed that on a certain day, a great public
spectacle would be made, by turning wild and drunken elephants upon them. The devout Jews earnestly called upon God and when the appointed time came, the drunken and maddened beasts were let loose.But they turned their rage upon all those who came to see the show and destroyed great numbers of them. Besides, several appearances were soon seen in the air, which much frightened the king and all the spectators. All which, manifesting the interposal of Divine power in the protection of those people. Philopater durst not any longer prosecute his rage against them, but ordered them to be all set free and fearing the Divine vengeance upon him in their behalf, he restored them to all their privileges, rescinding and revoking all his decrees, which he had published against them. Three years afterwards however, in 213 BC, Philopater, on another pretext slew 40,000 Jews. Thus he cast down ten-thousands.

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
The opposite is true
But we all with open faces behold as in a dark glass tube the wickedness of the world the lies of satan, are changed into the same image from destruction unto destruction even as by the evil angels(fallen stars) of the devil.

Stocks Rally Again
This is what happens when banks report good news: American stock markets surged today on news from Wells Fargo that it would make record profits in the first quarter of 2009 and that the 19 banks undergoing government “stress tests” are all likely to pass. Barring catastrophe tomorrow, it’s the fifth straight week of stock market gains. Wells Fargo and Bank of America both saw their share prices jump over 30 percent, while even cellar-dweller Citigroup rose 12.6 percent. Better than expected unemployment claims also buttressed the market gains.
