You have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you so much for joining us tonight as we discover Daniel 10 and also Daniel 8. As we discover the transition between the second kingdom, Iran, and the third kingdom, Turkey, in the Middle East. As we've spoken many times before, we're seeing this transition. And it takes time for this transition to happen, but we're seeing it escalate in what I believe we're about to see the transition here on God's timetable. But we're seeing the trenches or the starting of the transition right now. If we look at some of the things like the pipelines that are going on in the Middle East, there's like two or three that are going on right now in the Middle East. And it will align with biblical prophecy. So like we've spoken before, the money will align with biblical prophecy because we're seeing the money go with biblical prophecy. For instance, when Iraq fell, Saddam Hussein in 2003, it was about the money. It was about he was going to go do business with the Europeans with the Euro dollar and not the American dollar. So, that was part of the reason why the American troops went over there to get rid of Saddam Hussein because of the money. Okay. So, now let's go to Ayatollah. He's the one next as far as Daniel was concerned in the prophecies. And we're seeing the same thing again. And it goes into many understandings, but also the money part and the pipelines that we're seeing being created and built in the Middle East is going to go down with biblical prophecy because like we spoke about last November, December when Turkey or Assad or Sherara, the leader of Syria, the Turkish agent, when he took over Syria and got rid of Assad, part of that was because of the pipelines that we saw going through Syria. It had to get rid of Assad before they could build the pipeline that ran through Syria. So, we keep up with the pipelines, we keep up with the prophecies, we keep up with everything because it's all going to tie in together when we look at the Middle East, when we look at the transition of the second and the third kingdom. So, we're going to go through all of these things tonight. We're going to go through the prophecies themselves. We're going to identify what we're seeing right now with the Middle East according to Daniel and then what to look forward to in the future with these ports with these pipelines that are being built. It's very important to keep up to date with the geopolitics of the Middle East. We've got things in Azerbaijan and Armenia that are heating up as well. And one of the reasons why I wanted to do this video, I was going to do the video on the series of Revelation that we've been doing with the seven bowls, but with the new information that we've received with the intensity of this with Azerbaijan and also Armenia and Iran and Turkey, I think it's we need to evaluate it to see how close we are to see this breakout, if you will. So, we're going to go through Daniel 10 and we'll also go through Daniel 8 as it will pivot into Daniel 8 after we see this. We'll tie in the current events of the Middle East. We'll go through the pipelines that we just spoke about and then we'll tie in the solar eclipses and the blood moons like we always do with these events that we're seeing in the Middle East. So, the Almighty is showing us every single thing that he can for us to wake up and understand what time it is. He's shown us in the signs in the skies. He's shown us on the ground. He's shown us through the prophecies. He's shown us through the Jewish people making aliyah back to Israel and all of these things. The anti-semitism ramping up, excuse me, Jeremiah 16. So, he's showing us all of these signs for the seasons that we were in so that we can understand where we're living in God's prophetic timeline. Okay, there is a way to understand that. So, when we evaluate the book of Daniel, most people would understand that there are four kingdoms that will rise to power. When we search the book of Daniel, the book of Daniel is for the end of the age. Daniel 12:4 would say that. It says, "Close your book. Seal your book, Daniel, until the end of the age." Okay? So the entire book of the visions, the dreams, etcetera, are for the end of the age. They're not for history. Okay? And we're going to go through that. So Daniel goes through four major kingdoms in Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 that will rise to power before the second coming events. Okay? There are many debates on this. So we're going to give you well, but I think you can see it in the Middle East with the transition. But what I'm trying to state with Daniel 2, what you're looking at now with the statue before we get to Daniel 10, it's important to understand the four kingdoms. Okay? Because Daniel 10 and Daniel 8 will be the transition between those two kingdoms. Okay? So Daniel has told us everything that the Almighty has disclosed to him about the end of the age. We just have to put our lenses on, read very slowly and understand this is for the end of the age. Okay. So again, in Daniel 2, there are four kingdoms that will rise to power. And what do we see? We're going to read what Yahweh told Daniel to tell Nebuchadnezzar so that we can put these kingdoms at the end of the age and not in Nebuchadnezzar's time. Okay? So, give me one second. I want to show you guys this through the scriptures so that we can be edified through those so that we can all be on the same page here. So, in Daniel 2, just like we said before, he speaks about four kingdoms that will rise to power. Okay. For right now, don't worry about who they are. We could disagree on those, okay, great. But these four kingdoms will rise to power, whoever one thinks they are at the end of the age. Well, in Daniel 2:28, it's amazing what the excuse me, let me get the scripture back up for you guys. It's amazing what Yahweh told Daniel to tell Nebuchadnezzar. Okay, in Daniel 2:28, okay, so this is the chapter that we just saw these four empires with the graph. Look at what Nebuchadnezzar is told by Daniel in Daniel 2:28. So we'll just read verse 28. And look at what he says: "But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the what? The latter days." Okay, so that right there solves the equation, my friends. The latter days are the latter days. Okay. So, it's amazing that Yahweh told Nebuchadnezzar, King Nebuchadnezzar, what would happen at the end, not at Nebuchadnezzar's time. He just gave you a history lesson because it's going to come back again. But clearly, it says in Daniel 2:28 that this is for the end, the latter days. Acharit ha yamim is the Hebrew word, the last days, the end of the age, the end. Okay? So, we have to understand that most people just glaze over this. Okay? But in Daniel 2:28, it says, "These four kingdoms are for the end of the age." Not in Nebuchadnezzar's time, not in Cyrus's time, not in Alexander's time. They were all foreshadows of what was going to come down the line. Okay? So that's why when it says Babylon, you're that first king. Then you just go down history and it will show you in order what those first three kingdoms were: Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, and Alexander. But he's not talking about Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, and Alexander. Like I said, he's speaking about, let's go back to the scripture. He's speaking of the end of the age. Daniel 2:28: "But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets and has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be when? 2500 years ago? No. At the end of the age, the latter days, Acharit ha yamim, okay, in the Hebrew." Okay, let's go down in verse 29. "As for you, O king, thoughts came to your mind while on your bed about what would come to pass after this. And he who reveals secrets has made known to you what it will be at the end, just like we discovered. But as for me, this secret has not been revealed to me because I have more wisdom than anyone living. But for our sakes, who made known the interpretation to the dream, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart. You, O king, were watching, and behold, a great image. This great image whose splendor was excellent stood before you and its form was awesome. This image's head was of fine gold. Its chest and arms of silver, its thighs of bronze, legs of iron, partly of iron and partly of clay. You watched while the stone was cut out while it struck the image on its feet. Excuse me. Let me get to where I can change where of the feet. Excuse me. Let me find my place. And broke them in pieces. Then the iron, clay, bronze, and silver were crushed together at the end of the age. Because it's the end of the age vision and became like chaff before the threshing floor. What did John the Immerser say? He's going to take his winnowing fork and cleanse his threshing floor in Matthew 3. So that goes with the end when Yeshua returns. Okay, in verse 36, it says, "This is a dream. Here's the interpretation. You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you kingdom, power, glory, and strength. And wherever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heaven, he has given them into your hand and has made ruler over them. You are this head of gold." So this is where people get confused. When he says, "You are that head of gold." People say, "Oh, well that's Nebuchadnezzar, then Cyrus, and then Alexander." Okay, we're waiting on the beast kingdom. No. Daniel 2:28 would conflict with that. Daniel 2:28, we'll read it again so we're on the same page here. Daniel 2:28 says, "This is for the end." Okay, so there is a God in heaven who made Nebuchadnezzar known what will be in the latter days. Okay, right here in Daniel 2:28, it says latter days. So Nebuchadnezzar was not that head of gold. His empire was. Okay, very important because that would conflict. Daniel 2:28 and Daniel 2:31 would conflict together. Daniel 2:32 would conflict with each other. So, we have a decision to make. Is it going to be conflicting or is it going to be smooth? And we're going to put all four kingdoms at the end of the age. That would be the smooth part. Okay? So, we got to put all four kingdoms at the end. And since that's the case, my friends, you just saw in 2003 Saddam Hussein fall in Iraq. That was number one, Babylon. Babylon's in Iraq, right? Number two, he said the Ayatollah, Iran would rise up. Cyrus was from Persia, the Ayatollah of Persia to Iran. And that's where we've been since 2003 with Iran. I don't think anybody would deny that now, especially with the war that's been going on with Israel and Iran. So Iran has been that superpower with Arabia in the Middle East spreading their Shia crescent just like Daniel said. Okay. Daniel said exactly Iraq first, Iran second, and then you have the third kingdom. Okay. And we're going to get to the third kingdom and you are seeing this transition upon the Middle East as we speak right now. So, not a lot of people are looking at Turkey, Erdogan, and what they're doing. I think they're going to start to look at him because of what's about to happen. And we're going to go through this. But my friends, you have seen the first two kingdoms almost go down, and you're about to see Iran go down and then you will see Turkey rise up and then it gets really real after that. Okay? So, we're on this process, if you will. This is not going to happen overnight, but it is moving at lightning speed. Everybody, lightning speed. And we just have to understand the players that are at hand, the signs in the skies, the time that we are living in, and this will all go like peanut butter and jelly, okay? As smooth as butter, if you will. So, if not, it will be complicated. It will be confusing. You will be no one knows what's going on. And unfortunately, today we have too many people not knowing what's going down, what time it is on God's prophetic timeline. So, I wanted to show you guys that first before we got into Daniel 10 and Daniel 8 because like I said, Daniel 8 and Daniel 10 are transitional chapters between the second kingdom and the third kingdom. That's it. So, we have to understand Daniel 2 and Daniel 7, same four kingdoms, both chapters. They're sister chapters. Okay? So, there are four kingdoms and we have to identify with those at the end of the age. Like Daniel said, Daniel 2:28, at the end. At the end, at the end. And we've got too many prophecy teachers saying, "No, it was history. It was history. It was history." Well, please go look at the Middle East since 2003, and you're seeing the trajectory that Daniel was speaking about, okay? Iraq fell first, 2003. Iran's been a superpower since that time, and they're about to fall. And then, of course, you're seeing Turkey rise up just like the prophet said. Okay, so Greece is a mistranslation in the Bible. We're going to get to that. It's called Yavon in the Hebrew. And Yavon is on the western coast of Turkey, which is exactly where our Savior said, Yeshua, that Satan's throne is in Turkey, Pergamus, Turkey. Revelation 2:12-13. I'm not really sure why people are saying Rome and Russia and everywhere else in the world. Okay? Because our Savior said Turkey, Pergamus, Turkey, Western Turkey, Yavon, will be the bad boy is where Satan's throne is. Present tense language and where he dwells, which is present tense language as well. So, I don't care if they moved it to Germany for Hitler. The spirit is in Western Turkey and I'm sure in Berlin as well, but it's in Western Turkey for sure because Yeshua said that and he didn't say, "Hey, when it goes to Berlin, you know, go to Berlin." No, he said Pergamus, Turkey, that's it. And you look at today what this guy's done over the last 25 years, boy howdy. He is wound up and ready to go. You know, we're going to see that. You are seeing that right now. I mean, he took over Syria in 12 days. I mean, so you tell me if he's not leaping and pouncing across the Middle East like the leopard that he is in Daniel 7. So I wanted to show you guys that it's very important to understand first and foremost in Daniel's book, there are four major kingdoms. Don't let anybody tell you they're in history because just say, "Hey, go read Daniel 2:28. Go read Daniel 2:34 and please get back with me because it says at the end of the age, Yahan." Okay, we understand that the latter days, the end of the age is what the Hebrew means. And of course, Nebuchadnezzar lived 2500 years ago. So, you tell me that's not the end of the age, right? So, of course not. So, we need to understand these things so that we can be in alignment with him with the transition of the Middle East. Most people don't have a clue what's going on over there because they're not tracking with Daniel. And if they are tracking with Daniel, they're misunderstanding of putting these empires in history and then putting Rome in there, Russia in there, and everybody in there. Okay? Okay, the United States, Great Britain's the line. I mean, no way. Go look at Great Britain. They are in a heck of a mess. Okay, they are falling. Europe is falling. Not rising, they're falling. Please understand that. I mean, they're trying to get a hold of what's called Islam over there, the last since 2014. Okay, so please understand where Europe is. Europe is naked, okay? Right now, Europe is being exposed right now for what they are. I love Europe and I love the people of Europe. I'm talking about the governments of what they've done to the European people. I mean, they're being exposed and by the American government. We're exposing who they truly are. They will not go conquer anyone. If they did, they'd be in the Russian war right now fighting Russia, but they would get stomped if they did. So, just understand that. So, they're not going to rise up against anyone. And if they do, Vladimir Putin and Russia will crush them. Okay? So, please understand that no one will beat Russia. Throughout history, that's the case. I mean, please go look at Russia throughout history. Napoleon got crushed. Hitler got I mean, they get crushed if you go fight Russia and we've been crushed as well fighting Russia through Ukraine. So we're going to get to all the Middle East updates, you know, with these things. The Russia-Ukraine war will go into that as well. That's why I mentioned it because it will all go together and we'll tie that all in. But my friends, the four major kingdoms of Daniel, I can't stress enough to it. If you want to follow the prophetic timeline of Yah, just start following the four kingdoms and you will not be out of alignment. You'll understand the trajectory of the Lord in the Middle East. And it's going down just like we're talking. I mean, just like Daniel said, you know, Babylon, Iraq, Iran, Turkey. I wrote a book called God's Prophetic Timeline. It's not about the book, I'm just trying to make a point. I wouldn't have even wrote the book like that if we couldn't have seen what Erdogan's doing, Turkey is doing. Once we identified Turkey as that third kingdom, then you go look at the leader and what he was doing back then. It was about 15 years when I wrote the book, you know, about 10, 12 years ago, wrote the book. He was already moving. He was already moving, getting influence. It's not going to be just him dominating and conquering all of these nations. He's going to do it through influence, proxies, and all of these things, and then he'll put the beast kingdom together, so to speak, which I will show you he could probably do that right now if he had to do it today and has been calling for that. So my friends, very important, Daniel 2, four kingdoms, Babylon, Persia, Grecian, Yavon, whatever, and then the beast kingdom, whoever you may have it. The point is, Daniel 2:28 says this is for the end, the latter days, not Nebuchadnezzar, not Cyrus, not Alexander, excuse me. So we have to understand it. He said Nebuchadnezzar, God's going to let you know what a great blessing, what's going to happen at the end. Your empire is going to come back strong. And he let Nebuchadnezzar know that. And then Persia is going to come, and then Yavon's going to come, and then we have the beast kingdom, the 10 kings. So, my friends, we are right here and you're going to see this transition. We're going to get into a lot of good information once we get through with the scriptures. Okay. So, we'll go to Daniel 10 first. Someone might ask, why are you going to Daniel 10 instead of Daniel 8? Because Daniel 8 should be before Daniel 10. You're going to see Daniel 10 come to fruition before Daniel 8. Okay, you already are, and we're going to explain that. So that's why we're doing Daniel 10 first instead of Daniel 8. Excuse me. Thank you very much, everybody. Sorry about that. I was coughing. I didn't want you guys to have to hear that. So I put myself on mute and I forgot to put it back off of mute. So sorry about that. Okay. So let me rewind here. Okay. Daniel 10. We've got to understand Daniel 10 from that area of the four kingdoms, of course, because this is the transition between the second and the third kingdom. Okay? Daniel 8's the same thing, but we're going to tie it in and show you what God is showing us at the end with the current events on how Daniel 10 will be fulfilled before Daniel 8. Okay. So, again, my apologies about the sound, ladies and gents, but okay, we'll read this real quick. "In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar. And the word was true and one of great conflict, but he understood the word and had an understanding of what appeared." Okay, so right here we see that in the third year. Is the sound working okay, everybody? I see someone that just said that they cannot hear me. I took myself off a mute so hopefully everybody can hear now. But anyhow, I'll continue until people say they cannot hear. But in the third year of Cyrus, so again, Babylon was first. Okay. Daniel was exiled to Babylon under King Nebuchadnezzar. Then Belshazzar, his grandson, took over, Daniel 5. Then Medo-Persia came and Daniel was under Darius, King Darius. And then he was under Cyrus after that, the Persian king. Okay. So Daniel had an impact on not only Nebuchadnezzar but Belshazzar, Darius, and Cyrus. I mean, four major kings in biblical history, Daniel had that authority with. Okay. So, he had an influence on all of these guys. I believe he got Nebuchadnezzar through Yah to repent and to come to the Lord. I believe Nebuchadnezzar was saved, Daniel 4, after seven years. Look at what he said. His last words, he praised the God of heaven, you know, so to speak. And I believe he was born again, if you will, of course. So, I believe Daniel had a major impact on that. So in the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia. So this is after Nebuchadnezzar, after the seven years and all of these things with Darius and then transition to Cyrus. Darius the Mede only reigned for 11 months. Okay? So he only reigned for about 11 months after Belshazzar fell. Okay? And then Cyrus took over after 11 months. Okay? So just FYI, that's why you see in the book of Daniel Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Cyrus, I mean, he had a lot of things, a lot of kings because the transition was only 11 months with Darius and then Cyrus the Great, you know, king of Persia took over, the one who sent them back to or, you know, gave him the decree to go back to build the temple. Okay, so just to catch everybody up where Daniel is right now, this is after the 70 years in the third year of King Cyrus, king of Persia. A word was revealed to Daniel whose name was Belteshazzar. And the word was true and of great conflict. Wow. But he understood the word and he had an understanding of what appeared. "In those days I, Daniel, had been mourning for three entire weeks. I did not eat any tasty food, nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I use any anointment at all until the three weeks were fulfilled. On the 24th day of the first month, while I was by the great river, the river Tigris, I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, whose loins were girded with a belt of purifying gold of Uphaz. His body also was like beryl. His face had the appearance of lightning. His eyes were like flaming torches. His arms and feet like the gleam of burnished bronze. And the sound of his words were like the sound of a multitude. Now I, Daniel, alone, saw the vision that appeared, but the men who were with me did not see the vision that appeared. Nevertheless, a great terror fell on them, and they ran away to hide themselves." I mean, could you imagine? I mean, Daniel's by the great Tigris River. Obviously, that's in Iraq, if you're familiar with that. He had the vision. That's where he was exiled. So, he had the vision. He was the only one that saw it. He sees this beautiful image, you know, of the image that we saw of Uphaz, body was like beryl, face like lightning, eyes like torches, his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude. I believe that was Yeshua. I know people have different opinions, but I personally believe that was Yeshua. Revelation hits on the same thing that goes back into this as well. So that's my personal opinion. And then he says, "Now I, Daniel, alone saw the vision. Everyone else did not. And they ran and hid themselves because of great terror that fell upon them. So I alone remained and saw this great vision that appeared. Yet no might remained in me. For my outward splendor turned to a deathly pallor and I retained no might. But I heard the sound of his words. As soon as I heard the sound of his words, I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground. Then behold, a hand touched me and set me shaking on my knees and hands. And he said to me, 'O Daniel, man of high esteem, understand the words that I am about to speak to you and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.' And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling. Then he said to me, 'Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day when you were praying, the first 21 days ago that you gave your heart to understand this and humble yourself before Yah, your words were heard. And I have come in response to your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was standing against me for 21 days. And then behold, one of the chief princes came to help me. Now I had been left there with the king of Persia. Now I have to come to you. I have come to give you understanding of what will happen to your people. And when the Acharit ha yamim, the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days yet future.' Just like Daniel 2 said. Now when he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and became speechless. And behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men was touching my lips. And then I opened my mouth, and I spoke and said to him who was standing before me, 'Oh my Lord, as a result of the vision that appeared, pains have come upon me, and I have retained no might. Now, how can such a servant of my Lord talk with such as my Lord? As for me right now, no might stands within me, nor does any breath remain within me.' Then this one with the appearance of a man touched me again and strengthened me. And he said, 'O man of high esteem, do not be afraid. Peace be with you. Gather strength and be strong.' Now as soon as he spoke to me, I received strength and said, 'May my Lord speak, for you have strengthened me.' Then he said, 'Do you know why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia.' That's twice he had to fight Persia. So I am going forth and behold the prince of Yavon is about to come. However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Now there is one who exerts strength with me against these forces except Michael, your prince." Okay. So it's a very short prophecy, my friends, and as you can see, the warfare that Daniel had during this vision, the warfare that he had for 21 days with this vision, the angel was held up, okay, fighting the kingdom of who? Persia, which is Iran. Okay, not once, but then he had to go back and fight him again. Okay. Well, now let's look at what's going on today, and we believe we're in the Acharit ha yamim, the last days. I think we all can agree with that, that we're living at the end of the age, and thus we're seeing these kingdoms rise and fall. Okay. So look at what's just happened with Israel and Iran. Okay, Iran is Persia. People are forgetting that we're seeing this prophecy come to fruition right now in front of our eyes. Okay, we just saw the first time with Iran and Israel, and you're about to go see it again because if you look at the Israeli news, if you look at some of the talk going on in the Middle East with the Islamists as well, everybody is expecting Israel and Iran to go at it one more time. I think the focus has kind of turned from Gaza, if you will, to Persia now. I think there was an article today that said that in one of the Israeli papers that is kind of a secondary matter now, the Gaza thing. And now their focus back on is Persia. Okay. So I believe a lot of people believe that they're about to hook horns again. One more time. As you can see, no one gets destroyed here. Okay. There's just fighting going on. Just kind of like the first war, if you will, the 12-day war. There was fighting going on, bombs going on, but really it was kind of like a draw, if you will, where most military people would say it's kind of like was just a draw. You know, Iran had its way and Israel had its way, you know, so to speak, as well with a lot of damage as well. So, this prophecy is telling us that Israel and Iran are going to fight twice. Okay? Not once, twice. Okay? Whenever they go back again, you're going to find this portion of the prophecy to be fulfilled. And then you're going to have Yavon come. Okay? Next, just like the angel said. So, my friends, you're seeing it in real time. The book of Daniel will tell you exactly where you are on God's prophetic timeline at the end of the age. This is not the set days. Just enjoy the scriptures. Enjoy what you're watching. I mean, this is amazing. You know how many people are trying to get to witness Daniel 10 and Daniel 2 and Daniel 8. You know how many people in history would love to have seen this? You know, that have been trying to understand the book of Daniel. But guess what? If it's sealed, it's sealed. I can't understand it. You can't. They can't. No one can if it's sealed. But if it's unsealed, we all can. If we just read it and just put it at the end of the age, it's not rocket science here. God did not make this hard. He's saying to watch Israel, number one, the apple of his eye. Number two, watch Iran, and then watch Yavon. And then when you get to Daniel 8, you're going to see where Yavon comes in and crushes Persia. Okay? Israel does not crush Persia. And if I can say this in love, and this is just a military statement, okay? Israel cannot beat Iran. They cannot crush Iran. With America, they couldn't crush Iran. I don't, again, I'm not saying that ugly. That's just a straight military evaluation from all the colonels and the generals that I personally listen to. They're saying that we're not in the shape that most people think that we are. Okay? So, we just need to watch out and understand that Israel or America will not beat Iran. Okay? There's no way. Okay? So, Turkey is going to come and beat Iran when we get to Daniel 8. So that's why I'm trying to say tonight when we look at Daniel 10 and Daniel 8, they're together. Daniel 10, you've already seen the first time war for 12 days and then here we go. Here we go. We've got it. So we need to understand that we're about to see the second time and then you're going to see Yavon come. Okay? And we're going to tie in how close to Yavon or Turkey, Turkey is coming to this Daniel 8 war with what's going on with the pipelines and all these things that we discussed earlier with the ports, the pipelines. We're going to talk about probably two or three pipelines when we get through the end of it, the oil pipelines, if you will, that's going through the Middle East. Biblical prophecy will come to fruition with the money as well. It's all going to be tied all in together just like you've seen with Syria as well. So Daniel 10 is a short, beautiful prophecy. It's telling you exactly right now what's going on. I'm not going to go through some of the other things in it, but just the major points is Iran twice against Israel. And then Turkey, okay, is going to come next. Okay, Yavon is that word. Why the translators put Greece in there is because of Alexander. Okay, remember what we discovered before? There are four kingdoms in Daniel. The prophecy teachers and the historians, they would always put basically the four kingdoms, they would have them, no matter who you have, the four kingdoms that he says is Babylon, Persia, Yavon, okay, not Greece. Greece is a mistranslation because like I said, Alexander, they're going off the prophetic foreshadow of Alexander the Great, the Grecian Empire. So they put Greece in there because of Alexander. If you go look at the biblical atlases, okay, and we will look at one tonight when we get to Ezekiel 38. I'm going to tie that in after these two chapters. You will see the maps will put Yavon on that western coast, okay, of Turkey, Turkey, because of Alexander. Well, then Yeshua says that Satan's throne is in Pergamus, Turkey. So that's what I'm saying. You got to put these together and understand that we've been misinformed, if you will, because of the location of the geography is not where people think it is. It's in Turkey. Okay. That's why Yeshua said Satan's throne is in Pergamus, Turkey, in Revelation 2:12 through 13 to go on top of what Daniel has been warning us about. So, it's important to understand that because when we get to Daniel 10, we're just seeing the transition between these two kingdoms, Medo-Persia, and Yavon, a Grecian Empire. Just put Turkey, okay? You're seeing Iran and Turkey about to switch. Okay? And then we'll be in the third kingdom. And then we've got the Antichrist kingdom next. And we'll go through the process of that in Daniel 8. So again, Daniel 10 is a very short prophecy, very powerful. Daniel was praying for 21 days, fasting, weeping, did not eat anything, did not anoint himself, none of these things because he was really wrestling with these things with Israel, okay, with his people at the end of the age, okay? Remember, this is in the third year of Cyrus. So he's experienced all these other visions, okay, that we've had, okay, Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar's dream, of course, that was in history. Daniel 7, all of these other visions he's had. So he was looking at this like, wow, he was sick to his stomach. The transition between or or the fight between Iran and Israel twice, and then you have Turkey coming next. And he was sick to his stomach. I mean, he was sick to his stomach of what the outcome was going to be and the war and all these things. And he was sick about Turkey as well. So that's why whenever, you know, we got to look at how Daniel felt during these things. This is going to be not good. You know, these wars and things like that, it hasn't been good, you know, over in the Middle East or really anything, you know, with all what's going on. So Daniel was sick looking at these visions, sick at these prophecies because of what he was shown about all the war and all the death that was going to happen, you know, so to speak. So, Daniel 10 is a very important chapter. Does not get talked about much, but it needs to be front and center. Daniel 10 should be on the front of everybody's mind right now because that's what you're seeing in real time. And it goes with Daniel 2 and also Daniel 7. So, you're seeing Daniel 2 and Daniel 7, the four kingdoms go in order, and you're seeing Daniel 10 with the transition. Okay? So, it's really amazing, my friends, what Yahweh has shown us, okay, with these things. So that is Daniel 10. The transition between Yavon and Persia. Okay. Again, Iran's going to fight Israel twice. They've already fought them one time, 12-day war. The temperatures really rising for the second one. And then you will have Yavon right after that. Turkey, Turkey. Okay. So, now let's go with this information in our mind that we're going to see Israel twice with Iran. Then we're going to have Daniel 8. Now, let's read this Daniel 8 prophecy, and you're going to see the same two kingdoms, Persia and Yavon, again, but then it's going to give you the outline of what's going to happen after Turkey. It's going to I tell people, you could take Daniel 8 and put it on your mirror while you're brushing your teeth and just check off, check off, check off. Okay, I'm in motion with the Lord. Man in motion. That's what we've got to be. Woman in motion. That's what we have to be right now with biblical prophecy on the check sheet. Okay? Cuz you're seeing them line by line go down. Kind of like the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24-25. Same thing. Just check it off. You're seeing everything before the abomination of desolation. Okay? There's your three and a half, three and a half year mark. Okay? So, everybody, again, like I tell people, saddle up, get ready, 3D glasses, popcorn, because you're seeing these things in real time going down. The greatest show on earth is in the Middle East. It's not the Super Bowl. It's not "Days of Our Lives" or none of that stuff. Okay, it's over in the Middle East. All you want. 3D glasses, 10D glasses, or whatever. It is that intense over there. Because of the prophecies of the Middle East. Those folks over there would think they're going through tribulation. I mean, I just got another email or something or saw it on YouTube that another 70 people or so got killed in the Congo. Bam. You know, so just understand that this is really a martyrdom time in the Middle East. Syrian Christians are dying. Iraqi Christians. I mean, it's just the Christians are being slaughtered over there. And I don't think too many people are really concerned with that to be quite frank with you. Everybody's concerned about all the political stuff instead of all of the martyrdom that the Christians are receiving over in the Middle East, which my heart goes to them. And they've got a great place in the heavenlies as we all know with their robes. But that doesn't mean we don't need to neglect them or forget about them. You know, we need to pray about, pray for them and also get the volume out here so people can understand to support them and pray for them and understand what they're dealing with over there. I mean, goodness, Iran, I saw an article the other day. Millions are coming to Yeshua in Iran right now. Think about that. Go read, you could look it up. Go Google it. Millions, they say, are coming to faith in Persia. So, the governments, whatever. You know what I'm saying? Not the people. Okay? Pray for the people. The governments go to hell, you know, so to speak. So that's just my philosophy personally is that the Iranian government go to hell. The people of Persia, please repent and turn to Yeshua. And the ones who have, God bless you. And that's why they are on fire for the Lord is because of persecution. So that should ring bells with the rest of the world. What is going to happen? The Lord is going to test this world. He is going to see who truly loves him. No lip service. We got a bunch of lip service out there right now. He's about to take that away and see who's going to be a man in motion. Who's going to have action on the ground? Not just, oh, I love Jesus and that's it. Okay, I believe whatever. None of that. Let's get engaged in the process. Let's get engaged in this process with worship and understanding the prophecies, doing our part in God's kingdom, praying for the believers, praying for the missionaries, praying for the people who are slaughtered, whoever they may be. And understand that's the time we're living in now. I know it's a grim picture, but that's what Yeshua said it was going to be is grim. Okay? It's going to be darkness. There's going to be tribulation, trials. Please read Matthew 24. We got too many people on Sesame Street right now. Okay? They need to get on Straight Street right now like Paul did and understand what's going down because we got a lot of people again, boom, deceived. They have no clue what Yavon even is. Okay? They have no clue what even probably Iran even is, you know, right now. And they're in the news. And I don't mean that ugly. I mean, let's get engaged. And I know we all are, but we need many, many, many more people to really put down the Kool-Aid of whatever they are drinking and come to the truth of the scriptures to understand these things, to understand that we're right here, my friends. There's no greater time to be alive and to be engaged in your process that you were in with the Lord and be engaged with your spiritual gifts right now with the Lord. This is the time that you were born for. So, please engage. I know you are. I'm just trying to be a good brother to you and inspire you and inspire myself to keep rocking forward because it's going to get more ugly. And as it gets more ugly, we need to be more brighter than ever before. The light will always shine more than the darkness. No matter how much the darkness wants to get dark, we will shine brighter than ever before. And that is the call right now, my friends, is the great commission. Get engaged. And I know everybody is, just again, all of us, you know, to get really saddled up for these things because you're about to see some amazing things, my friends. Daniel 8, we'll go through that really quick. This was in the third year of King Belshazzar. So just like we read in Daniel 10, that was the third year of Cyrus. Okay, so that was this was before Daniel 10. Okay, so Daniel 10 was after this. Okay, so we'll go through this. You're going to see the same countries, Persia and Yavon, or Iran and Turkey. Their modern-day names, same countries as Daniel 10, but it's going to tell you who crushes Iran. America will not, Israel will not, Turkey will do that. So, Daniel 10 first, Israel and Iran twice, and then Turkey is going to do Israel a favor and bust them, you know, and then they'll go at it. Okay? Then then Turkey and Israel go at it. But, my friends, you're right there, okay? Is what I'm trying to say. It's a great time. I've always wondered how Israel would be involved in this transition. And we're seeing that. Okay. Daniel 10. Boom. And now we got Daniel 8. And let's read it to get the full conviction. "In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, to me Daniel, after the one that appeared to me the first time." Now he's talking about Daniel 7. "I saw in the vision, and it so happened while I was looking that I was in Shushan, the citadel, which is in the province of Elam, which is Iran. I saw in the vision that I was by the river. Then I lifted up my eyes and I saw, and there standing beside the river was a ram with two horns, and the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. Then I saw a ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could withstand him, nor was there anyone that could deliver him from his hand. But he did according to his will and he became great." Okay. So we have this vision here that Daniel sees. He has two animals here that we see here, and we have, or I'm sorry, we have one animal. We have the ram that has two horns on it. We will come to find out here in the later of the passage that is Medo-Persia. Okay, the Medo-Persian Empire. The mess today would be the Kurds, and of course, Persia is Iran. So it's talking about the Kurds in Iran. Their kinsmen, and it goes back to what we're talking about with Darius and Cyrus. Okay, Darius ruled for about 11 months and then Cyrus came and reigned. And I believe, I'm not if I'm not mistaken, you need to fact-check this one. Okay, but one way or the other, Cyrus and Darius were kinsmen. Okay, somebody married the other's daughter or somebody. Okay, so they were kinsmen. So they're kinsmen is what I'm trying to say. The Kurds in Iran are kinsmen. Okay, kind of like the Medes and the Persians were. Same people, just different names. So if one doesn't understand that, please understand that the Kurds and the, and I'll show you where those are. If you're not sure where Kurdistan is, I'll show you that on the map after this. And then Iran, they're they're kinsmen. Okay, so that's very important as we go forward in the prophecies at the end. Okay, so he saw this ram by the river, Elam in Iran. That's where Elam was. And there standing beside the river was a ram with two horns. One, Media, the smaller one. Persia is the higher one that you saw. And then I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward so that no animal could withstand him, nor was there any that could deliver from his hand. But he did according to his will and he became great. So my friend, I think we can all agree, like I said before, the first kingdom would be Iraq, right? Babylon. It fell. And then Daniel says that Iran's going to come and it's going to be great. He's going to be great. He's going to march across northward, westward, and southward. Well, my friends, since 2003, since the first kingdom fell to Iraq, since Iraq fell, I think we can all agree that Iran has gone northward, southward, and westward trying to spread its Shia crescent to the Mediterranean Sea. I mean, we know their alliances with the Houthi rebels down in Yemen. We know that they basically have a lot of influence in Iraq right now. The president, Sudani, is a Shia, which is a Shiite nation, is Iran. So he is a Shia believer, which is the Iranian faith of Islam. At the time before Turkey took over Syria, Iran had great influence with Bashar Assad in Syria. I think that's well documented. He also, of course, Iran supported Hezbollah and also Hamas as well, as we all know. So I think we can understand that they've spread their antennas all across the Middle East just like the prophecy says. Let's read it again. "I saw Iran pushing westward, northward, and southward so that no animal could withstand him, nor was there anyone that could deliver from his hand. But he did according to his will and he became great." So what is this telling us, my friends? You just read Daniel 10, right? Daniel 10. It didn't say what it says here. Okay, it says this here because we have to have Israel and Iran fight twice. And then look at what it says. "I saw Iran pushing westward, northward, and southward." No animal could withstand him. No one was going to defeat Iran until Turkey. Now, nor was there anyone that could deliver from his hand. But he did according Iran did according to his will and became great." Again, I think we can all agree that the Lord has given Iran the authority to become great just like Daniel said. Okay, they've become great. No one has dethroned them. Israel will not. They'll fight them, and we'll fight them, but we will not dethrone them. Turkey is going to dethrone them in this prophecy. Okay. So, as we continue to read, "once the ram becomes great and no one is able to withstand him." There's what Iran has done since 2003 up to today. All right. There's where Elam is in the province of Iran. You see where Babylon is, where Daniel was exiled to. So, you're seeing where he traveled to Elam in Persia and he saw this vision here. And remember, when we get to it, there's going to be a port right there that Iraq is building right now. And we're going to get to that. Okay. So, very, very important. All right. So, here where we are. This is where we've been since 2003 to right now. Okay. Iran's been the dominant superpower of the Middle East right now. And then let's see what happens after this. "And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west across the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground. And the goat had a notable horn between its eyes. Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious anger, power, and I saw him confronting the ram. He was moved with rage against him. He attacked the ram, broke his two horns, and there was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him, and there was no one that could deliver Iran from Turkey's hand." Okay. So, please understand, you didn't see this language in Daniel 10. You didn't see where Israel was going to trample them like this. Okay? I mean, they're going to fight, but it's going to kind of like be what it was, right? So, they're going to fight again, but you didn't see the language right here. Now, that back in Daniel 10, as you saw in Daniel 8, Daniel 8, it says when it becomes great, whenever it becomes great, a male goat will come from the west across the surface of the whole earth. Okay, let's stop there. So, when Daniel says that, it shows everybody what Daniel's world was. Okay? So, let's go to the map and I'll show you what Daniel's world truly was. Let's see here. Okay. So, I'm going to do this really quick so we can all see it. But remember what Daniel said. Daniel said that he came across the whole earth, is what he said. And it then it goes on to tell you that it's Turkey. So let's look at the map and you tell me, Turkey's coming from the whole earth or is it coming from the Middle biblical East? Okay, you tell me. I mean, this is where Turkey is right here. He comes from the west where Pergamus, Turkey is. Is that coming across the whole earth? I mean, goodness. I mean, let's look at where America is. I mean, excuse me. Sorry. Uh, here, let me get back to the map. Okay. So, let's look at where America is compared to. So, did America come from the whole west? No. I mean, Turkey's coming from the west here. Okay. Not America's coming from the whole west over here. No, he didn't say that. He said Turkey is going to come from the west. Okay. So, he's coming right here. So, what am I trying to say? Daniel's biblical world was Turkey, western Turkey, Libya, Sudan, all the way through Ethiopia, Somalia, through Pakistan. Right here is Daniel's world. Okay? That is what Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, everybody's prophesying through this region only. This region only is the table of nations in Genesis 10, and that's it. Okay? That's their biblical world. So whenever we read what Daniel has said, then we need to really understand it from that standpoint. Okay? As far as where is he coming from? He's coming from the west of the entire world. No, he's not. Look at what it says. Excuse me. Let me get to the right scripture. That was Daniel 10. Let's look at what it says. "And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west across the surface of the whole earth." Okay. Is that coming across the whole earth, everybody? Excuse me. Let me get this one off and put here. That's not coming across the whole earth coming from western Turkey. That's coming across the whole earth that Daniel would have understood with the biblical prophets and the table of nations. Okay? So they would have understood their world was the Middle East and North Africa. Everybody, that is all. Okay, that's it. So whenever we read the biblical prophets, you got to understand it from that mindset. What we understand with America and Australia and New Zealand and all these places, which are awesome, I love it. But they are not in biblical prophecy. Okay? All these China, all these places. No, it's only the Middle Eastern and North Africa. What Daniel would have understood was his world. Okay? So, just please understand that when this prophet says that, it's very important to put it in the right context. "As I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west across the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground." And again, Daniel 8:21 will tell you that's Yavon. Okay, that's Turkey, not America. Okay, some people put America here. That's not right. I mean, Turkey is what the angel told Daniel. All right. Then he came to the ram who had two horns had seen standing beside the river. Okay. Where was the river? That was by Uli. So, right here is where Daniel's talking about where this is going to go down in Elam on the river Uli that runs up to Armenia, by the way. And I'm going to show you that because we're going to tie all this in together. All right. So, then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power. You didn't see that in Daniel 10. I saw him confronting Iran. Okay? And he was moved. Turkey was moved with rage against Iran and he attacked Iran and broke his two horns, Media and Persia. Well, look at what he's doing to the Kurds right now. He is crushing the Kurds. Okay? I mean, they are surrendering, okay, because he has just pushed them over so far from the Euphrates. He's already bashing the Kurds and Iran is coming next. Again, Kurds are Medes, and Iran is Persia. So, he's he's fighting the Medes already and he's about to go knock Persia. And I'm, we're going to tie that in at the end. All right. There was no power in Iran to withstand him, but he cast Turkey cast him down to the ground and trampled him. And there was no one that could deliver Iran from Turkey's hand. My friends, you're about to see a transition of biblical proportions, my friends. And it won't be a sit-down peace agreement between Turkey and Iran. It will be an absolute demolition. Okay? It will be a one-sided war. Okay? That's how strong Turkey is going to be. Please do some research on their military power, on their drones. They're the number one drone country in the world exporter, for sure, by far. It's not even close. So these guys are ramping up to cause some tremendous damage in the Middle East, for sure. In Daniel 8:8-12, it says, "Therefore Turkey grew very great, but when it became strong, the leader, the large horn was broken, and in its place four notable horns came up toward the four winds of heaven. And out of one of those four of the 10 kings came a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, toward the glorious land. And it grew up to the host of heaven and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground and trampled them. We find that in the book of Revelation as well. He then he even exalted himself as high as the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away. Hello. And the place of his sanctuary was cast down." My friends, that is the abomination of desolation that we find. "Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices." When is that? The three and a half year mark. "And he cast truth to the ground and he did all this and he prospered." Okay, so he's telling us the trajectory that the Lord is on with Daniel 8. We're going to have Iran, Turkey, the leader will die or whatever the case may be, kind of like Alexander, and then you're having four of the 10 kings come out of it. That's how close we are, my friends. Turkey beats Iran, the leader will die. Okay, this case would be Erdogan, and then four of the kings of the 10 rise. My friends, this is very close. Okay, please understand that. Okay, when you see Turkey whip Iran, okay, that's going to be a movement. Okay, you could check that off your list on Daniel 8 and then check the rest of them off whenever the leader passes away. Check that off. When the four kings come, you will know that. Check that off, you know, and then you got Antichrist. Okay. So, my friends, this is Daniel 8 is the chapter. I can't. I was talking to James, my friend here on chat. He we talk all the time. No one is talking about this hardly. Daniel 8. And if they do, Alexander, Alexander. No, please remember what we discussed on the four kingdoms of Daniel 2. Daniel 2:28. Nebuchadnezzar, Yahweh has made you know what will happen at the Acharit ha yamim, the end of the age, not during your reign, Nebuchadnezzar, at the end of the age. I can't believe we've missed this so many times with biblical prophecy to sit right there in front of our face. At the end, these four kingdoms will rise to power. Not before then, not after that. Right then. And my friends, like we've discussed, you saw Iraq fall, Iran's about to fall, and just like the prophet said, Yavon, Turkey, is coming next. And then it's definitely game time for sure. Okay. So these are the four regions of Alexander. So whenever it says in the prophecy that when the leader dies, regions will occur, four kings. I'm not going to say it's going to be exactly like this, okay? But it's going to be very similar to this, okay? Very similar. It's just showing you kind of like how it could possibly look with four of the 10 kings, okay? So, please understand that, okay? And that's what it's going to be. Something like that, but it won't include Egypt. Okay? It'll just be more of the Turkey, Syria, Iraq section, I believe, with those four kings will be Lebanon as well. So that's what I think the four kings are is right there in that heart of the Middle East, okay, with Nimrod, Nebuchadnezzar, Antiochus Epiphanes IV, all of these evil leaders that have always hated the God of Israel and the Jewish people have always risen from the heart of the fertile crescent. Every one of them, you know, so to speak, not Hitler, not none of that. I'm talking about in the Middle East, in the land of the Middle East, it was always these guys right here. The major guys was in Iraq and Syria and it will be in the king of the north as well, Turkey, just like Messiah said. So that's kind of how it will look when the when Turkey, when the leader passes, it will be four regions or four kings of the 10 will rise up and it'll look very similar to how it looked with Alexander. The Seleucid Division, my friends, the one that you see right here, the Seleucid Division that points towards Iraq and Syria. That is the division, my friends, that you need to watch out for. Okay, that was the division that Antiochus Epiphanes, Hanukkah, Hanukkah story, Antiochus, the evil king, Antiochus Epiphanes IV, he came out of that region. Okay, it most people believe Antiochus fulfilled Daniel 11. Okay, that's how most people would look at Antiochus Epiphanes IV and the Antichrist. He was not that. He's going to come from the same one. Okay? Just like Antiochus did, that Greek, Syrian, you know, that Syria, Iraq, Babylon, all that area, king of the north, Turkey area. Take the border lines out, please, and just focus on that. Okay? So, the Middle East, Daniel would not have understood those border lines. Okay? He would not have understood Iraq. He would not have understood any of that. He would have understood the way that he would have understood it back then. And you can look at kind of Iraq and Syria kind of like the same. You know, Nimrod controlled Syria as well, okay, including Babel. So, it's an amazing thing. History will repeat itself. But just that fertile crescent, my friends, is where the final hunter, the beast will rise from, the individual beast will rise from is in that area. Okay. Those are the divisions: the Seleucid, Ptolemaic, Cassander, and Lysimachus. Okay, those are the four divisions. And this is, you see this in Revelation, you know, when he said he's going to throw the stars down and all of these things. Well, you see that in all the prophets. Look at Isaiah 14:14: "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High." A lot of people put Isaiah 14 as a resurrection of an individual to turn into the Antichrist. Okay. Well, look at what it just says: "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High." So again, in Revelation 17, you had these seven kingdoms and one of the kingdoms was wounded in its head. A lot of people believe that's an individual, but this is a kingdom then. Okay? So when Revelation 17 is speaking of a kingdom that was wounded, the Ottoman Empire after Rome, and it's going to come back again. Okay. Now, when you talk about the individual having a resurrection, Isaiah 14 is where a lot of people would point to, and I kind of go through that chapter and read it. And if that's the case, then you will see in this, just if that is the case, I'm not saying it is, but if it is the case, then you will see Erdogan being resurrected into the Antichrist if they are right. Okay? And they could be, and they definitely could be. So, he's going to mimic everything Yeshua did. In my personal opinion, Satan is he's going to try to mimic him and mock him, our Savior, as much as he can. So, just please keep that in mind. I'm not saying that's going to happen, but it's a possibility that it could happen when one reads Isaiah 14. Okay? But Revelation 17 is not that. It's talking about a kingdom that was wounded and it will come back again. And we'll go through that real quick. John said, if you're familiar with Revelation 17, "I am living in the sixth empire." That was Rome. He was living in the Roman Empire. John the Revelator was, "one's coming after this." So it wasn't Rome. He's like, "one's after this." And that was the Ottoman Empire. If one knows history, in 1453, Mehmed II, okay, Islamic Empire, Ottoman crushed Constantinople, okay, and took over the Roman Empire. Okay, that is the empire that John's talking about, the seventh, and it's coming back to be the eighth. Okay, it was wounded in 1923, 1924. The Ottoman Empire, the seventh empire, was wounded in 1923, 1924, year by the way. Keep that in mind for this year coming up, please, here in three years, so to speak. So my friends, we have to put all of these things together and understand the trajectory of the Lord. The Shmita cycle, the sun, the solar eclipses, the blood moons, the prophecies, all of these things. But we have to know history. Okay? Because John was saying, "I'm living in the sixth, the Roman Empire. The one after, not the Roman Empire." He said, "The one I'm living in now is the seventh." He didn't say that. "Ones after that, the Ottoman Empire." History will show that. And then that one will be wounded in 1923, 1924. After 600 years ruling the Middle East, they will come back again. And boy howdy, please go look at the nation of Turkey right now. And I believe the national pride is at an all-time high since 1923, 1924. I doubt many people would debate that if they know Turkey, that they are come, the national pride. What did these young people say? These young nationalists over in Turkey said Erdogan was giving a speech at an auditorium with all these young people there and they just started chanting. I can't say it in Turkish, but they were saying, "Take us to Jerusalem, Mr. President. Take us to Jerusalem, Mr. President. Take us to you." I mean, go look it up. I mean, these folks are ready for that revival of the Ottoman Empire. And people need to wake up, okay? Because if you look at Turkey and you look at Rome, it is laughable. If somebody wants to compare that to Turkey, that Giorgia Meloni, Madame Giorgia Meloni is going to march the Romans down. No way that will happen. So, go look at what she is saying about Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. And then go look at what Turkey is saying, Erdogan is saying about Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel. Please go look at the difference. And please, let's engage in this process because he is going to be that one that tees it up. Right now, my friends, we've got a bunch of setup kings. Okay? What do I mean by that? Trump is a setup king. Netanyahu is a setup king. Erdogan's a setup king. They're setting it up for the end, is what I'm trying to tell you. Okay? They don't know what they're doing. They have no clue what they're doing. Okay? But they're setting it up for the end. Please understand that. And it's very clear. And they are going to remember President Trump and Erdogan, they have a cordial relationship. You know, they're NATO partners and he's going to support Turkey, which under the world understanding that would be kosher, right? Because they're NATO partner, etc. Trump doesn't realize that Erdogan's going to be the bad guy, the very bad guy. It's going to make Iran look like choir boys. Okay, I'll just go ahead and tell you that right now. It's going to make them look nothing like what this guy is going to come and do. Just please go research it. Okay. So, it's a very important time to keep up with him. Okay? And he's going to move. And again, we've got to understand it from Daniel 8, Daniel 10, and what the transition is going to be through the four kingdoms of Daniel in Daniel 2 and Daniel 7. All right. This is what Yeshua says. Okay. So, I'm going to trust him. For all of my friends out there who want to say Rome's going to be the Antichrist kingdom or Russia's going to be the Antichrist kingdom. Well, I think Yeshua would disagree with that. In Revelation 2:12-13, it says this is what Yeshua says. "He who has the sharp two-edged sword." I mean, think about that. He said, "This is who has the sharp two-edged sword." When's he coming? Revelation 19. With what? The two-edged sword. To who? To Turkey. Okay. And the fire to Lev to Yavon. Okay, that's coming. I mean, that's so awesome how John the Revelator wrote this down from the angel and it gives us such great knowledge that this is the two-edged sword who's talking here. "I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is, and you hold fast to my name and you did not deny my faith. And even in the days of Antipas, my faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells." Okay. So my friends, this is where the seven churches of Revelation is. And Yeshua says the Pergamus church right there, as you can see it on the Aegean Sea, is where Satan's throne is and where he dwells. Okay? So no Rome, no Russia, no America, no China, no whoever else. No Pergamus, Turkey, Western Turkey is where our Savior said Satan's throne is. Present tense. Where he dwells, present tense. That's where Yavon is. When we go to Ezekiel 38 next, that's where Yavon's going to be. Okay? So, he's pointing us to that area and that's where Daniel said the goat's going to come from the west of Turkey and crush Iran. Okay? He won't have a chance against Turkey. Okay. As we continue in Daniel 8:13-14, it says, "Then I heard a holy one speaking. And another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, 'How long will the vision be concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host be trampled underfoot?' And he said to me, 'For 2,300 days, then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.'" In Daniel 8:15-19, "And then it happened when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and was seeking the meaning. Suddenly there stood before me one having the appearance of a man. I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and who called and said, 'Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.' So he came near where I stood, and he came where I was afraid. And when he came, I was afraid and fell on my face. But he said to me, 'Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to what? The time of the end.' Acharit ha yamim. Now as he was speaking to me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground. But he touched me and he stood me upright. And he said one more time, 'Look, Daniel, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of indignation. And then the third time, for the appointed time, the end shall be.'" So my friends, three times, three times Gabriel said, Daniel, please understand why you're in this vision. This is for the end of the age, not Alexander. This is for the end of the age. And that's what people need to understand. It's not about Alexander in the book of Daniel. What's the point? I mean, he's a prophet, not a historian. I mean, he's the great prophet Daniel, not the great historian Daniel that wrote about Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, and Alexander. No, he's talking about the end of the age. Saddam Hussein, Iraq, gone. Ayatollah about to be gone by Turkey. Turkey. Okay, so please remember that. Daniel 10, we're about to see one more fight with Israel and then it's going to transition. Daniel 8, you didn't see this language against Persia in Daniel 10 with Israel. You see the language in Daniel 8 of Turkey is the one that's going to go over there and knock them. Okay. Knock them out of the game. It'll knock them out. When I say knock them out of the game, they won't be the superpower of the Middle East anymore after Turkey gets done with them, and they will rule the Middle East. Okay. So, this is pretty amazing when we look at this that he says three times in Daniel 8:17-20, this is for the end of the age. So, don't let anyone ever tell you that Daniel 8 is not for the end. The entire vision, not just the end of the vision, the entire vision is for the end of the age because he did not divide it in any way and form during this passage. He said all of it is for the end. He didn't say, "Well, this part's for 2500 years ago or this part's for the end." None of that. All of it's for the end. And if we're tracking with the Lord, which we all are, then you're seeing it in front of your face right now about this transition that's about to happen. Okay? Okay. In Daniel 8:23-26, he's going to confirm who the folks are, these two empires are to confirm what we're talking about. "The ram which you saw having two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. And the male goat is the kingdom of Yavon." It says Greece in your English Bible. That is a mistranslation, like we spoke before. Greece will never do that. Greece was talking about Alexander, but it's really talking about Pergamus, Turkey, Western Turkey, Yavon, just like Yeshua and all of the other prophets speak of. "The ram which you saw having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia." Okay, so he tells you who they are: Media and Persia. Iran and the Kurds. The Kurds are Medes, and Persia is Iran. And the male goat is the kingdom of not Greece, but Yavon, which is western Turkey. "The large horn that is between its eyes is the first king." So my friends, the first king right now, in my personal opinion, is Erdogan. I mean, I wrote about that in 2016. So of course I believe he is now.
