Purim & Daniel 10's 2nd Round of Israel-Iran War + Blood Moon/Trump/Netanyahu/Khamenei

Shalom, friends. my name is Chadwick Harvey, and you've reached Faithful Performance. Thank you so much for joining us tonight as we celebrate the festival of Purim — the book of Esther — and also discuss the Israeli-Iranian-American war in the Middle East, along with the blood moon, the final blood moon of these eight ordinances we have seen over the last two and a half years. We're going to discuss all of these things, including Daniel 10. We'll go through Daniel 10 and see the second round coming to fulfillment on the prophetic timeline.

My friends, we are really in a major biblical prophecy area right now. If you're not familiar with this, we'll try to explain it as we go forward with the book of Daniel — where we are in that book, what to expect right now, and what to expect in the future. Not to predict, but simply to look at the book of Daniel, understand where we are, and what's going to occur after we see this second round with Israel, Iran, and America. Thank you very much, everybody. It's good to be back with you, and I hope you're already enjoying this beautiful festival of Purim.

Even though we're seeing some very serious events in the Middle East, I hope we can appreciate what Yahweh has done for the Jewish people historically, and also tie that into what we are seeing right now and what we will see going forward. We'd like to start with Daniel 10 and understand that we are living in this prophecy. It's remarkable when you look at it.

If you're not familiar with the book of Daniel particularly, let me walk through the overall understanding of the four major kingdoms that will rise at the end of the age before the return of the Messiah. It's very important to follow along with this, because if we understand it, we will understand where we are on God's prophetic timeline when we see what's going on right now.

First of all, happy Purim to everyone. It's the book of Esther — we all know the story of the redemption of the Jewish people from the Antichrist figure Haman, so to speak. The reversal happened; the verdict was reversed, and the Jewish people received the victory in Purim. It's important to analyze this from a prophetic, personal, and historical perspective. Prophetically speaking, we are in the second round of Daniel 10. That's what I wanted to go through tonight — alongside the blood moon and the Middle East updates — to show everyone what's going to transpire, not only right now, but in the future.

Happy Purim again, everyone. Prayers are needed — obviously for the Jewish people, for the Iranian civilians, and for the Gulf nations as well, who have taken some heavy hits. Everyone in the Middle East needs prayer right now. But my friends, if you're not familiar with the book of Daniel, I'll explain it to the best of my ability.

There are four kingdoms that Daniel continually mentions in chapters 2 and 7. In Daniel chapter 2, we're all familiar with Nebuchadnezzar's statue dream. Most of us know this. Let me remind everyone that Daniel 2:28 records Daniel telling Nebuchadnezzar that this vision is for the end of the age — for the latter days. It is not for 2,500 years ago. The statue dream, as Daniel said, is for the end of the age, or the "acharit hayamim" in the Hebrew. So this is for right now, not for ancient history.

Now, most scholars and reputable biblical prophecy teachers agree on the first three kingdoms: first is Babylon, second is Persia, and third is the Grecian Empire. In 2003, America removed Saddam Hussein from power, dethroning him — so Babylon fell in 2003. Just as the prophet said, Iran was going to rise up after that, and that is exactly what happened. Iran has been the superpower of the Middle East, spreading its Shia crescent across to the Mediterranean Sea since that time.

Now, as we see what's happening right now, Iran's days are numbered. They're about to be dethroned — not immediately through America and Israel, but eventually through Turkey. After that, what is described as the Grecian Empire in Daniel is really Turkey, or "Yavan." It's important to understand that translators put "Greece" in the text because of Alexander the Great, since people assume the prophecy was fulfilled 2,500 years ago. But Daniel 2:28 disagrees. It says this is for the end of the age. So all four kingdoms are for the end of the age. In 2003 you saw Iraq fall. You're going to see Iran fall — not right now through America and Israel, but eventually through Turkey. You're seeing Iran decline tremendously right now. Then comes Yavan, the third kingdom, which is Turkey.

My friends, you are seeing almost a transition between the second kingdom and the third kingdom. That's really the substance of Daniel 8. But before Daniel 8 occurs, Daniel 10 has to occur with Israel and Iran.

To summarize: in Daniel 2, the four kingdoms are Babylon (Iraq), Persia (Iran), the Grecian Empire (Turkey), and a fourth. You've seen the first fall. You're about to see the second continually fall, and then Turkey will rise. After that is a very rapid process to the ten kings and then to the figure I prefer to call by the more accurate portrait of Nebuchadnezzar — what others call the Antichrist. Daniel 2 is crucial to understand because we are living in that prophecy, just as the prophet said in Daniel 2:28.

When we get to Daniel 7, we have four beasts again — the same four kingdoms as in Daniel 2. These are sister chapters; Nebuchadnezzar had the dream in Daniel 2, and Daniel 7 gives the second witness to the same four kingdoms. The lion is Babylon or Iraq. The bear is Persia — not Russia — it's Persia, Iran. That is where we are right now, in the second kingdom. The leopard represents the Grecian Empire, or Turkey. So in both chapters, the imagery points to the same progression: Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and the final beast kingdom.

What I'm saying, my friends, is that you are truly living in biblical prophecy at its peak. You are about to see the solid transformation from the second kingdom to the third. We talked about this a year and a half ago when Turkey took over Syria — everyone agreed on that — and you started to see the transition at that point. This Daniel 10 war between Israel and Iran is just another mark along that progression.

Turkey will not become truly dominant until Iran truly falls. It's going to take more than the supreme leader dying for that regime to fall. But understand that you're really in the Medo-Persian Empire phase right now, as you can see, and anyone who understands the Middle East militarily and geopolitically will tell you Turkey is coming next. That is exactly what the prophet Daniel said: three kingdoms will rise before the fourth, the beast kingdom. Iraq — Hussein gone. Khamenei — his regime is still there, but he is gone, and the regime will eventually fall, not to America or Israel, but to Turkey. Then Turkey will be dominant, and that transition is described in Daniel 8.

My friends, you are seeing these events unfold in order, just as the prophet said. We are right now before Daniel 8 — before Turkey crushes Iran — in the midst of Daniel 10. I've produced videos going more in depth through the scriptures to show these things are for the end of the age. Daniel 2:28 says it is for the latter days. Daniel 7 confirms it. And in a heavenly court scene, Yeshua is shown coming to crush all four empires together, which Daniel 2 also describes.

Regarding Daniel 8 specifically — Persia and Turkey, Iran and Turkey — Turkey crushes them. Daniel is told three times that this is for the end of the age. In Daniel 8:17–20, you can read it for yourself. Three times the messenger said, "Daniel, listen to me. This is for the end of the age, son of man. This is for the time of indignation when the end will be." Alexander the Great did not fulfill this. Greece will not attack Israel — Greece and Israel are allies. This is Yavan, Turkey, where Yeshua himself said in Revelation 2:12–13 that Pergamum — which is in Turkey — is where Satan's throne is.

I want to set this up because you are seeing these four kingdoms rise and fall just as the prophet said, at the end of the age. Most Christians, Jewish people, and Muslims agree we are living at the end of the age. Since we are, that means we need to revisit the book of Daniel, Revelation, Isaiah, and the prophets to understand where we are, because they will tell us exactly — not anyone else.

When you look at the four kingdoms of Daniel 2 and Daniel 7, we are in that second kingdom, the Medo-Persian Empire. That's fairly evident to anyone who understands the geopolitics of the Middle East. Iran has been the superpower of the Middle East since Babylon fell in 2003. And anyone watching can see that Erdogan's Turkey is coming on strong after that. Even Netanyahu has said Turkey is more of an enemy than Iran. Even Naftali Bennett, a former prime minister, has said Turkey is the one to watch. The Jewish leadership in Israel is telling you who is coming next — and it lines up exactly with the prophet Daniel.

Before Turkey becomes the dominant power — before what Daniel 8 describes — we are dealing with what we're seeing right now. We've been watching this prophecy unfold since roughly June, beginning with the first war between Israel and Iran. Now we have the second war, the second round.
