Daniel 11: [2] And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
"Greece is going to come and take over Persia, so Daniel has told them about Babylon. The kingdom of Babylon was replaced by the kingdom of Persia, which is going to be replaced by the kingdom of Greece," explains Richard Jordan. "Historically there's going to be manifest on the earth kingdom after kingdom after kingdom, but Daniel's saying here that those kingdoms on the earth have a representation in the government of the heavens, in the angelic realm up there.
"Behind the scenes of world affairs, behind the scenes of the conflicts of nations on this earth, there's a spiritual conflict going on that's reflected in the angelic realm. What's happening as the nations of this earth work their wiles, it's an outworking of something more than just the animus between one nation and another.
"If you took Christendom off the scene and Judaism off the page, do you understand various sects of Islam fight one another just like Christian sects fight one another? It's in the blood; it's in human nature.
"The Median-Persian Empire that we read about in Scripture, those nations still exist today and the point in Daniel is the conflict that goes on behind the scenes in all that, there's a spiritual element to it that's really the real problem. This isn't anything new in the Bible."

Jesus Christ says in Luke 13, [34] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
"This verse unmistakably says that Jerusalem kills the prophets and that's where the prophets perish," says David Reid. "What does Revelation 18:24, referring to Babylon, say? [24] And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
"This can only be a reference to Jerusalem. When it says MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT in Revelation 17, it's not just Babylon, but there is some mysterious aspect to it.
"In I Corinthians 2:7-8, a mystery is described as hidden wisdom. A mystery is not just wisdom; there's an aspect to it that's hidden, but not in a way that we can't understand it.
"When you compare Scripture to Scripture, you notice Jerusalem doesn't occur in Hebrews through Revelation, except with regard to the new Jerusalem.
"We notice from Revelation 11 that Jerusalem is sometimes referred to spiritually by other names, like Sodom in Egypt. These other names describe what Jerusalem is like. We know Jerusalem can also be described as MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT.

“It’s through the religious persuasion of the ‘false prophet’ that the Antichrist gathers authority as the counterfeit religious ruler working miracles in the earth and the religion is called ‘MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH,' " explains Jordan.
“That means there is today a whorehouse religion out in the religious system of the world that will ultimately culminate with the religion of the Antichrist, and through it he’ll be proclaimed, not only as Israel’s Messiah, but as the 12th Imam for Muslims.
"He’ll be hailed the conquering hero and sit upon that throne in Jerusalem and declare himself to be God. Such will be the persuasive power of the Lie Program in that day and it will all focus and center in that piece of real estate where civilization began.”

The symbol of Israel in the Bible is the “burning bush,” not the Star of David, which the Book of Amos identifies as the star of Israel's Caananite god Moloch, associated with child sacrifice.
An internet entry reads, "The elites seem to worship Molech and Baphomet. Molech is the owl from the Bohemian Grove and Baphomet is the satanic goat man with breasts."
Amos 5:26 reads, “But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves."
"That six-pointed Star of David is really a symbol of a pagan god who infested the nation with pagan religion in the time of the Prophet Amos and before. There’s a reason they would use a star. There’s a reason the Mohammedans use the crescent moon and that kind of stuff.
“There's a whole raft of pagan religions in that part of the world dating to ancient times that worship the heavens. It all goes back to Genesis 11 when 'they built a tower to reach to heaven,' and they corrupted the constellations and the signs and messages in the heavens into pagan use.”
"The great seduction for Israel in the tribulation is their belief that their Messiah has come at last.
“Israel gets in a bind with enemies coming against them and an Assyrian fellow (the Antichrist) comes up and delivers them from war,” explains Jordan. “He takes over the kingdom and the verse in Daniel 11 says, [24] He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
“Previous to this guy, the Assyrians just came in and militarily defeated Israel and captured them. He’s going to come and DEFEND Israel against the Palestinians, the Persians, the Egyptians all out to destroy them; the sons of Esau and the sons of Lot who try to destroy Israel.
“He not only saves Israel, he enriches them. He gives them great wealth and blessing and prosperity and everybody says, ‘Our Messiah has come!’ "
