Kingdom Come

From Daniel 11:21-30, with a brief recap for continuity:

1. in his [king of the north] estate [i.e. his successor to the position] shall stand up [rise to power] a vile / deceiving person, to whom they shall not give the honour [military victory] of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
   • Ever since the loss of Judah’s sovereignty under Nebuchadnezzar, the nation has been reliant on a foreign power for any degree of exercise of national identity. “The kingdom [of Israel]” focus of these prophecies was “obtained” by America in 1948 when Israel was reborn in a region with unresolved disputes over borders, security, land ownership, and other matters only through its military alliance with America.
2. And with the arms of a flood / massive weaponry shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be [again] broken;
   • “Him” is clearly the vile person.
   • “They” are the rivals for control of pre-1948 Palestine which America has consistently beaten down with overwhelming force of weapons provided to Israel in a series of protections of a new state unique to Israel in 1948–49, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, 2006, and 2023–present. 
3. yea, also the prince of the covenant
   • the leader of Orthodox Jewry following the Torah, currently Prime Minister Netanyahu is a key partner in the Empire-controlled warfare. This has always been the case historically, specifically the Hasmonean priesthood in alliance with King Herod and the Roman politician Pilate during Jesus’ last days.

4. And after the [mutual defense treaty] league made with him / the vile king of the north / he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. He shall enter peaceably [with political agreements not battle] even upon the fattest places of the province.
5. The richest places of the province / Middle East are the Gulf states which as the Gulf Cooperation Council countries host American military bases in exchange for the United States for arms. The US has bases in the United
   1. the United Arab Emirates
   2. Kuwait
   3. Oman
   4. Bahrain which hosts the US Fifth Fleet
   5. Qatar hosts the US Central Command’s forward headquarters
6. and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them [the “province” referenced above, i.e. the Middle East] the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
7. “yea, and HE shall forecast his devices against the strong holds / break Israel’s military hold over Gaza, and negotiate deals with the powerful Arab nations even for a time.“
   • February 4, 2025 – In a stunning proposal, President Donald Trump said that “The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too. We’ll own it…long-term…developing…something that will be magnificent…the Riviera of the Middle East. Asked who would live there, Trump responded, “the world’s people…other countries…will ultimately be occupied by the 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza…This can be paid for by neighboring countries of great wealth.” Asked about sending U.S. troops to Gaza…”If it’s necessary, we’ll do that,” Trump said. “We’re going to take over that place.” 
     • Gaza’s location along the Mediterranean coast gives it access to some of the most valuable shipping lanes in the world and overland transportation hubs between Europe and Africa, and the opportunity to create a thriving maritime economy, with potential for trade, tourism, and fishing. 
     • Additionally, the potential for a sea-level canal across Israel, connecting the Mediterranean with the Gulf of Aqaba, adds another layer to this geopolitical puzzle. 
     • Experts estimate that the occupied Palestinian territory of Gaza sits atop approximately 1.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. This untapped wealth represents not just an economic opportunity but a nexus of geopolitical tensions and strategic calculations.
   • On May 19, 2025 the Israeli military started in earnest a large-scale operation, called Gideon’s Chariot, that Netanyahu said amounted to his country essentially taking over Gaza. “This is the war and victory plan.” What was not explicitly stated was that this is more to prevent Trump from taking over Gaza than defeating Hamas.
     • Netanyahu was responding to Trump’s snubbing of Israel during his whirlwind business development trip to the Middle East – investment deals in hand. It was reported that Donald Trump’s trip to the Middle East was remarkably successful, and the president’s political opponents [Netanyahu in the case of relinquishing Gaza to Trump] would do well to acknowledge the fact and understand what made it so.”
8. “And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him…and many shall fall down slain.”
   • This has not happened as of 7/21/25, even if we legitimately consider Iran’s leader to be the “the king of the south” since that conflict sputtered out.
   • Current conflict in the Horn of Africa may shortly match this prophecy. Ever since Black Hawk Down, during which 18 US troops and thousands of Somali civilians were killed, “Somalia was a no-go zone for the US,” but a mere 10 days after being inaugurated for a second time, President Trump announced that the US had carried out air strikes targeting senior leadership of ISIL (ISIS) in Somalia. 
9. And both of these kings’ [Trump and king of the south] hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
   • ^“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
   • But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.” (Malachi 4:1-4)
10. Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart [private opinion but not yet declared acts] shall be against the holy covenant / the Orthodox Jews who follow the Torah [and support Netanyahu];
    • As with President Trump’s rise to power through the Religious Right, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s election to power was with the support of the ultra-orthodox religious Jews in government. And they won’t allow Trump to take Gaza away from Israel.
    • To worsen his position further, Netanyahu fragile coalition party also depends on the support of far-right ministers who also demand to take over Gaza – and also alienating the ultra-orthodox contingent of his coalition by, for the first time, conscripting the Ultra-orthodox Jews to put in their fair share of citizen soldiers.
    • International agencies are demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, which would likely collapse his coalition and prompt early elections that polls showed Netanyahu would lose.
11. and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.” (through Daniel 11:29)
    • “[Trump] was totally focused on what was in his self-interest [when he was a businessman.] He is totally focused on it now [as President of the most powerful country in the world].
    • President Donald J. Trump’s first official trip was a huge success, locking in over $2 trillion in great deals—including a $600 billion investment commitment from Saudi Arabia, a $1.2 trillion economic exchange agreement with Qatar, $243.5 billion in U.S.-Qatar commercial and defense deals, and $200 billion in U.S.-United Arab Emirates commercial deals.
    • “President Trump’s historic collaboration with these Middle Eastern nations fosters greater safety and stability in the region, paving the way for a more prosperous and secure future.” With such friends in high places in the Middle East, Israel is not needed, and its financial and military dependence on America is a burden no longer to be born.

Leaving Israel exposed to its arch-enemy Iran.

Following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, which overthrew the US-backed monarchy, Iran has since held implacable contempt for the US and its allies – in particular Zionist / secular expansionistic Israel, which it has vowed to destroy on multiple occasions to protect existing residents of the territories Israel covets, mainly Palestinians.

So to protect his perilous perch in high places, on June 14 2025 Netanyahul launched “Rising Lion,” against Iran with heavy airstrikes against at least one of Iran’s uranium enrichment sites to halt what Israel claims is its rapid progress in developing nuclear weapons, despite American intelligence denying this. 

Iran hit back immediately claiming that it struck Israeli military-industrial centers used for producing missiles and other military equipment.

Trump stalled on supporting Netanyahu’s war with Iran. We can expect that the businessman essence of Trump is finalizing a deal – negotiating his ownership of Gaza in exchange for America’s immediate considerable cost of war with Iran and likelihood of additional future costs from Iran’s alliances with Russia, China and Turkey, all of whom make formidable enemies if they join Iran’s defense against U.S. involvement.

Netanyahu says he impressed upon Trump the reality that the Israeli government cannot prosecute a war against Iran without extensive U.S. support. and on June 22, 2025 Trump did send American bombers.

These, however, inflicted only relatively minor damage. U.S. Central Command had developed a much more comprehensive plan to strike Iran in an operation that would have stretched for several weeks instead of a single night, but it was rejected by President Trump because it was “at odds with his foreign policy instincts”. Only one of the three nuclear enrichment sites in Iran struck by the United States was mostly destroyed but the two others may have been degraded only to a point where nuclear enrichment could resume in the next several months. 

Beijing and Moscow came out with pretty strongly worded statements that profoundly condemned the strikes.

Russia and Iran have built a “strategic partnership” to combat American dominance in the Middle East through military cooperation in Syria and Ukraine, where Iran has supplied Putin with Iranian missiles essential to Russia’s war.

China also views Iran as a useful counterweight to combat American dominance in the Middle East where China wants to extend its influence. China is also believed to have assisted Iran’s military by supplying technology for missile development and building test ranges.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) showcased the rise of China, Russia, Turkey and Iran as an emerging bloc of countries. Turkey’s growing role has not yet been demonstrated.

Meanwhile, the Trump is breaking up with Netanyahu.

President Donald Trump was caught by surprise last week by Israeli actions in Gaza and Syria, and in both instances phoned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “rectify” the matter, according to the White House, underscoring what sources have said is an increasingly tense dynamic between the two leaders.

1. A strike last Thursday on the only Catholic Church in Gaza drew an immediate negative reaction from Trump, who phoned Netanyahu to voice his displeasure and to ensure the Israeli leader released a statement calling the strike a mistake.
2. Trump was similarly surprised by Israel airstrikes targeting government buildings in the Syrian capital Damascus last week at a moment his administration is working to rebuild the war-torn nation.

Looks to me that Netanyahu is letting Trump know he’s not controlled by Trump.

To up the ante, Netanyahu may use his Zionist and Religious Right supporters in America to replace Trump with a more compliant President. 

As of 7/25/25 Trump’s increasingly precarious standing in the Epstein human sex trafficking and pedophilia ring may be just what brings him down to set up a replacement.
