Shalom Friends,
Join us as we discuss how Daniel 10, the Israel/Iran conflict, and the solar and lunar eclipses correlate together, as we journey towards the transition between the 2nd kingdom (Persia-Iran) into the third kingdom (Javan -Turkey).
Many Blessings,
Chadwick

Heat. Heat.
The day is coming and drawing so near.
The prophet's words are being fulfilled.
The times and seasons are at hand
for the glorious arrival of the Son of Man.
His lightning flashes the east and the west.
The earth will endure the Lord's test.
Be saved by his name while he can be found.
Seek his face before the trumpet sounds.
The day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.
Before that day, keep your lamp trimmed.
The day of the Lord is full of wrath.
In that day, who can endure?
Peace and safety—and sudden destruction,
like labor pains upon a pregnant woman.
The powers of heaven will quake the earth,
shaking everything from the Lord's curse.
The day is gloomy and full of darkness.
The sun and moon will lose their brightness.
Nations prepare for the Lord's sacrifice.
The sickle is coming. The harvest is ripe.
The day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.
For that day, keep your lamp trimmed.
The day of the Lord is full of wrath.
In that day, who can endure?
It's the day of vengeance, the redemption story.
The Lord is arriving with power and glory.
The fig tree is blooming and has started to bud,
for the King of Kings to pierce the heavens above.
Sons of the light, sons of the day—
sober and watching, walk in his way.
The Lord is zealous and will roar like a lion.
He will sit on David's throne, dwelling in Zion.
The day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.
For that day, keep your lamp trimmed.
The day of the Lord is full of wrath.
In that day, who can endure?
---
Shelter me, your secret place.
Shelter me under the shadow of your wings.
Cover me in the day of trouble.
Shield me, your holy ark, to the end.
Shine like the stars of heaven.
I need the secret place.
Shelter me under your wings.
Call me to a day of truth until the end.
Shine like the stars of heaven—shine so bright, shine.

Shalom, everybody. My name is Chadwick Harvey, and you have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you very much for joining us tonight as we explore the Israeli-Iranian conflict and how it ties into Daniel 10—specifically the role of Persia—and also how solar and lunar eclipses connect to tell us exactly what is going on in the Middle East today. We hope everybody has had a great Shabbat and a great weekend, because we are going to go through a lot of information.
We are going to cover many different dynamics of the situation in the Middle East and North Africa, but the main topic, as everyone can see, is the Israeli-Iranian conflict. We could see this coming from a mile away. President Trump gave Iran, I believe, 60 days to negotiate a nuclear deal, and on the 61st day Israel decided to take out the nuclear facilities. They did damage the nuclear facilities, though they did not completely destroy them. There has also been a response from Iran directed at Israel. Some damage has been done to the oil refinery in Haifa, and in Tel Aviv some buildings were struck where the Iron Dome did not intercept every missile fired. So prayers need to be sent for the entire Middle East—for Jew, Muslim, and Christian alike. All three need to repent and make sure they are in the right position with the Lord, as do all of us in America, in Europe, and everywhere else.
This is a time of the end, everybody. This is what we have all been talking about. It is going to be awesome to see these prophecies fulfilled, but also terrible as we witness all of the death, calamity, destruction, and terror that is going on. We are going to look at all of this from an overall prophetic basis. We stand with Israel and we support the Jewish people—everyone who follows this channel understands that. We are going to examine it prophetically, according to what the scriptures say, and we are going to be very balanced. We are not going to get deeply into the political side of it; we are focused on the prophetic understanding. It is very important not to get bogged down in politics so that we can do what Messiah wants us to do with the Great Commission in the times we are living in now.
Everyone on this channel knows we are pro-Israel and pro-Jewish people. We support the government, but we also test it. Regarding the Israeli government's conduct in Gaza and related matters, everybody has their opinions, so we are not taking a firm position on those specific decisions. We are pro-Jewish people, pro-State of Israel, and we root for the Israeli government to make the right decisions, just as we root for the American president to make the right decisions for the American people. Right now, prayers need to be sent for the Jewish people, for the families who have lost loved ones, and for the civilians—and also for the Iranians and Persians, who have lost civilians as well. This is the time of the Great Commission for both parties, for the entire Middle East, for Jew, Christian, and Muslim to make sure they are in the right alliance with the Messiah as we see all of this calamity and destruction going on across the Middle East and North Africa.
It will not quit and it will not end. These folks over there are ready for war, and they are going to go to war. Nothing is going to stop the prophecies of the Holy Bible. No matter what opinion one holds, those prophecies will not be stopped. In fact, events will only increase and escalate them, just as we are going to see in Daniel 10.
The book of Daniel is a very important book to understand right now. It is for the end of the age—not for 2,500 years ago. Just like Daniel 12:4 says, the Lord tells Daniel to seal the book until the time of the end. He did not say seal only chapter 12; he said seal your book, Daniel, until the time of the end. That means every vision and every dream in that book is for the end only. The historical accounts of Alexander, Cyrus, and Nebuchadnezzar are given to us so that we can understand what is happening right now. Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Daniel 8, and Daniel 10 are all unfolding right now. We need to understand that. For the last several years on this channel we have been watching these kingdoms go down just as Daniel said they would at the very end.
Iraq fell in 2003. What did Daniel say would come after Iraq? Medo-Persia. We have been in the era of Medo-Persia since 2003. Now we are seeing Medo-Persia being confronted—by Israel, and you can include America in that as well. Then Turkey will probably be the one to finish them off, as Daniel 8 indicates. The book of Daniel is going down exactly as he said, with all four kingdoms placed at the end of the age. 2003 began with Iraq—Babylon fell. Then came Iran, or Medo-Persia, which has been the superpower of the Middle East alongside Arabia for the last twenty years, spreading terror throughout the region through Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi rebels, and other proxies. Now it is time to pay the price—time for the head of the snake to be dealt with. No matter what one's position is regarding Israel, Iran, or America, it is time for the transition from the second kingdom to the third kingdom.
In Daniel there are four kingdoms that will come to power at the end of the age: Babylon, which is Iraq; Persia, which is Iran; Yavan, which is Turkey; and then the beast kingdom, the conglomerate, just as Daniel describes. Right now we are seeing that transition. Remember, Turkey took over Syria in November of 2024, when Sharaa—a Turkish agent—became Syria's new leader. And now we are seeing further developments that continue that trend. Iran's influence is slowly, and in fact very rapidly now, going to decline. No matter what comes out of this conflict between Iran and Israel—whether they fight for years or for days—in Daniel 8 it is Turkey who totally wipes Iran out, not Israel. We will see how far this particular engagement goes. But the bottom line is that the transition began in November 2024 when Turkey's influence took hold in Syria, and what we are witnessing now is the culmination of that. Israel has damaged Iran's nuclear facilities, and we will see how far this war or battle goes before Turkey ultimately comes in to finish what Daniel 8 describes.
Daniel 10 and Daniel 8 essentially cover the same ground, and we are going to get into all of that as we go forward. It is so important to understand the prophecies of Daniel and the four kingdoms. The first three kingdoms are really not debatable among most people—Babylon, Persia, and Yavan, which is Turkey. Let us set the fourth kingdom aside for now and concentrate on these first three, and on the transition between the second and third kingdoms, which you are about to witness.
This transition also connects remarkably to the blood moons and solar eclipses. We have talked about this many times before, and we are going to go through the history in summary so people can see the trajectory the Lord has been on, as evidenced through three major leaders who are prominent in today's news. It is truly remarkable when you look at Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Ayatollah Khamenei. All three of those leaders were either born on a blood moon or a solar eclipse. I have done the research on all the other leaders in the Middle East, and not one other current leader was born on a solar eclipse or a blood moon. Erdogan was not. Egyptian President el-Sisi was not. Jordan's king was not. None of the others were. Only two leaders in the Middle East and one here in America were born on those heavenly signs.
Donald Trump was born on June 14th, 1946—his birthday was yesterday, and he turned 79—and he was born on a blood moon. Benjamin Netanyahu was born on October 21st, 1949, right in the period when the State of Israel was being established as a nation, and he was born on a solar eclipse. Ayatollah Khamenei, the Iranian supreme leader, was born on April 19th, 1939, and he was born on a solar eclipse as well. Those three leaders are the only leaders that I have found—
