In this segment: Chadwick reiterates the Daniel 8 prophecy, stating that Iran will become great before Turkey dominates it, and notes that potential Iraqi militia invasion of Kuwait aligns with this. He references Isaiah 21, predicting Iran's eventual destruction of Saudi Arabia, and explains how Iran is currently outmaneuvering US allies through economic pressure, asserting that Turkey will be the next Middle East superpower.
The prophet Daniel tells us that Iran and Turkey will fight each other, as the prophecy states. Let's go back to the beginning of the prophecy. The ram was pushing westward, northward, and southward, and no kingdom could withstand it, not even America. It did according to its will and became great. In modern terms, Iran pushed westward, northward, and southward at the end of the age, and no kingdom could withstand it. Iran did according to its will and became great. This is at the end of the age. If you believe we are living at the end of the age, this is the prophecy to watch, as it will be the next major event. I'm not talking about terrorist groups, but major countries. Turkey will dominate Iran, as the prophecy states.
Let me show you where Ilam is on the map. Ilam is right where Kuwait is now. Daniel saw the vision in Susa, the citadel in the province of Ilam, by the river Ulai. If the Iraqi militias invade Kuwait, that is very close to this prophecy. I believe Turkey will do what Alexander the Great did, and America will not be able to defend it as we did in 1991. Then, I believe the Turks will come down through this area of Ilam, where Daniel saw the vision, and confront Iran. This is my personal opinion. Daniel saw the vision, and the vision placed him in Ilam.
Let's re-read the vision in Daniel 8:1-4. "I saw in the vision... I was in Susa, the citadel, which is in the province of Ilam, by the river Ulai." This is precisely where we've shown you on the map. This is where Daniel saw it. That's why I'm saying to watch the Kuwait situation. I'm not saying the Iraqi militias will do it, but these are the reports. Iran wants to go in and take the oil because Kuwait used to be part of Iran. Please understand that Kuwait used to be Iran. Some may debate whether Kuwait is part of Ilam, but geographically, Ilam is certainly there. If Kuwait is included, it strengthens the case for Iran invading Kuwait.
If Saudi Arabia cannot stand against the Houthi rebels, who are taking pieces of Saudi Arabia whenever they want, do you think Saudi Arabia can defeat Iran? No. Isaiah 21 says Iran will destroy Saudi Arabia at the end of the age, not right now. This is a precursor to the end of the age when Iran will absolutely destroy Arabia. Isaiah 21 speaks of the judgment of the desert by the sea, referring to Arabia, not Iraq, which is not by the sea in that context. Arabia will be totally destroyed by Iran at the very end. We are seeing a precursor now with the Houthis taking parts of their territory.
Consider the refineries and airports that have been bombed. The largest refinery in the world in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, has been offline. Our side, meaning our allies, are being severely impacted. The Houthis are having their way against Saudi Arabia. They are also called Ansar Allah. They are having their way against Saudi Arabia, and Iran is having its way against Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE. Oman is an ally of Iran, so they are not involved. But the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait are being pummeled by Iran. Jordan, with its US base, has also been destroyed. Iran has even reached out to Egypt.
You could call Iran "AT&T" because they "reach out and touch somebody." Until someone stops their missile program, which there's no evidence of, they will continue to do so until Turkey crushes them. Keep an eye on the Iraqi militias. If they invade Kuwait, you could see the Daniel 8 war unfold in that area. Alexander the Great came through this region to attack Iran because of the mountain ranges. This is about oil in our day. Iraq has built a port that will cut Iran out of oil revenue. There's a pipeline planned through Iraq, Syria, and Turkey to Europe, which will run through the area where Daniel saw the vision.
Iraq's port is here, and Daniel saw the vision here. Alexander the Great went through here to conquer Media and Persia. History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes. Watch out: if Iran decides to attack Kuwait, it could involve the Turks because of the pipelines. The oil pipelines will be involved in biblical prophecy because it's about money. Wherever the money is, the Islamists will be, and Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Jared Kushner will also be there. It's about following the money.
The Iranian militias in Iraq could invade Kuwait. There are reports that they might do so, which would put more pressure on Arabia. Iran is pulling the strings, with the Houthis attacking Saudi Arabia. They can't protect Kuwait or themselves. They are outmaneuvering us by putting economic pressure on us, especially if they go into Kuwait, as Saudi Arabia cannot protect it. I personally don't think America can go back and do what we did in 1991. This would be to Iran's advantage, going northward, westward, and southward. They have fired missiles in these directions, and they have become great, as we've been saying, they've been the superpower of the Middle East for about 12 years. The next superpower will be Turkey.
