In this segment: Chadwick emphasizes the Daniel 8 prophecy as the next major event, detailing how Iran will become great before Turkey confronts it, leading to Turkey's rise as a superpower and eventual split into four kingdoms. He recaps Iran's current expansion through proxies and missile programs, identifying key pressure points between Turkey and Iran, such as the Zangezur oil corridor and influence in Iraq.
What's on my mind is the Daniel 8 war. I've done many videos on it because that one chapter leads to the end. Iran will become great, and America or anyone else, including Israel, will not stand in its way. Then, after a period, Turkey will come and confront Iran. Turkey will become the superpower, its leader will die, and it will split into four kingdoms, leading to the Antichrist. Daniel 8 takes you to the very end of the age. It's the next major event you will see.
In my book, "God's Prophetic Timeline," I discuss the four kingdoms of Daniel. If you want a free ebook, sign up on faithfulperformance.org.
Let's look at Daniel 8 again. Iran becomes great, doing according to its will. Then, suddenly, a male goat came from the west across the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground. The goat had a notable horn between its eyes. It came to the ram and attacked it with furious power, broke its two horns, cast it down, and trampled it. No one could deliver the ram from its hand.
In modern terms, as I've shown you, it's Turkey and Iran. As I was considering Iran, suddenly Turkey came from the west. Turkey had a notable horn, its leader. It came to Iran and attacked it with furious power, broke Iran's two horns, cast it down, and trampled it. No one could deliver Iran from Turkey's hand. That's the next event. Then it becomes great, and the prophecy continues. Spend time with that yourselves. It's a very important prophecy to understand because you are there right now.
Iran has gone northward, southward, and westward with its missile program and proxy groups in the last 20 years. Now, the question is, will they literally march westward, southward, and north? Will they invade Kuwait or the Gulf nations? Will they do what the prophecy says literally? We will have to watch.
To recap: Yemen, the Houthi rebels, have taken over a lot of territory, controlling the west coast of the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. This affects Saudi Arabia. Iran has a blockade there, affecting Arabia, and America also has a blockade affecting everyone. The Houthis are bombing everywhere in Saudi Arabia—airports, refineries.
Now, watch the Iranian militias in Iraq. They bombed the East-West pipeline in Arabia, and they are reportedly considering invading Kuwait. If they do, that brings you right to Daniel 8, to the area where Daniel saw the vision. I believe the war will begin there because of the pipeline running to Europe. Iran will have a problem with this, as they believe Kuwait is their territory. We'll have to see if this happens; it's currently hearsay.
The main point now is to watch Arabia and see if Trump gets involved to help Arabia control the Houthis, or if Turkey gets involved due to the Mecca agreement with Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. If Turkey gets involved and gains control of Yemen, they would be able to. Trump has also spoken to Erdogan about getting involved with the Iranian situation, which also relates to Daniel 8.
Understand Daniel 8, understand its location, and watch to see if this happens. Iran and Turkey are on opposite sides of many issues, including pipelines. Right here, in Armenia and Azerbaijan, there's the Zangezur corridor, an oil pipeline from Azerbaijan through that border area to Turkey and Europe. Iran is allied with Armenia, and Turkey is allied with Azerbaijan. Iran does not want Turkey involved in this pipeline because it cuts into their oil sales. This pipeline, and the one in Iraq, could be pressure points between Turkey and Iran. Another pressure point is Iraq, where Turkey has significant influence in the north, which goes against Iran's goals of spreading its Shia crescent to the Mediterranean Sea.
Because they've been spreading their Shia crescent through Iraq, through Syria when Bashar Assad was in office, through Hamas, through the Houthis. They've been spreading their Shia crescent, their religion, if you will. Now, the Sunnis are going to rise up. The other side of Islam is going to rise up, and they will be the dominant superpower of the beast kingdom. So after Iran gets dethroned by Turkey in Daniel 8, then overall soon the Sunni nations will be the superpower of the beast kingdom. Iran is with them, but they're underneath them as the brittle part of the beast kingdom. And that would include the Houthis, Hezbollah, and the Iraqi militias that are supporting Iran. They would be the brittle of the beast kingdom. The strength of the system would be Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, and Arabia. Those will be the major Sunni nations. And plus, when I say Iraq, without the Iranian militias, Iraq will be a bad player, of course, as a Sunni nation.
So, you will see those nations come together. But first, you've got to have this Daniel 8 war. There's got to be a transition between the northern king, between Iran and Turkey, before Ezekiel 38 happens, before the beast kingdom happens, before anything happens, you've got to have Turkey become the superpower. You've got to have Turkey dominate Iran, and then they will be the superpower after that, just like the prophecy states. And that's where all the bad things come out of is Turkey. Yeshua says the throne where Satan dwells and where he is is in Pergamus, Turkey. And that's Yavon as well, the same area Daniel's talking about in Daniel chapter 8 and also chapter 10, and everywhere Greece is in the Bible. So, very important to keep up with this. I do think we're very close to seeing this. And if the reports are true that Trump has spoken to Erdogan, and if Erdogan gets involved in this now, they're a fresh army.
They're not like, and I'm not saying this in any kind of way, it's just we are a worn country. We've been at war for 25 years. The Turks have been bombing the Kurds and all that, but they haven't been at war for 25 years. They've been building up for what they're about to do. And I can talk about that as well, with what Turkey has done over the last 25 years to put them in the position that they're in now to be the superpower of the Middle East. So, we just have to really understand the trajectory of all these nations who are rising and falling like Daniel has said, and just to watch the nations, and then they're all going to come together for one purpose, like we all know. And now I will show you Ezekiel 38:39. So before Ezekiel 38 comes to fruition, which everybody is calling for right now, even some of the rabbis in Israel are calling for, we're in Ezekiel 38. No, we are not. Why aren't we in Ezekiel 38?
Turkey is not the power yet. Let's look at the prophecy really quick. We'll just read this first page, and I'll prove a point to you. "Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, 'Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, saying, Thus says the Lord God, behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.'" Persia, Iran is with you. Ethiopia, or Sudan is the true Sudan, not Ethiopia, and Libya are with Turkey. So, you've got to understand the prophecy, my friends. Persia is not the leader of the alliance. That's what I want to tell all my rabbi friends over there. They're not the leader of the alliance.
Why are you calling for Ezekiel 38:39? Persia is not the leader. Look at where Persia is. Persia, Sudan, not Ethiopia, that's a mistranslation as well. Kush, Persia, Kush, or Sudan, and Libya are with Turkey. They are not the superpower. They are with them. Look at what he says. The leader of Magog, the land of Magog, Gog, where is that? If we understand where the land of Magog is, then you'll know where Gog is. And then look at what he says: Meshech, Tubal, Togarmah, Gomer, and many people are with you. But Persia is not the superpower of the beast kingdom. Turkey is the leader of it. Just like it says, "Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, which is in Turkey, the prince of Rosh, which is the leader of the alliance, not Russia, the leader of the alliance. Think about Rosh Hashanah, the head of the civil year, the head of the alliance. Meshech and into your jaws, lead you out with all of your army, horses, horsemen, and all of these things, handling swords.
