'Prelude to World War 3'
The Endtime War of Persia
Dan 11:27 "Both these kings' hearts shall be bent on evil, and they shall speak lies at the same table; but it shall not prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time."
From Daniel, we understand that the king of the North (the former Persian Empire occupying Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon) and the king of the South (Israel and Egypt) fought and deceived each other since the breakup of the Empire of Alexander the Great.
The Endtime War between the king of the North and the king of the South will only be at the appointed time, which will be in the last days ( time of the end ) i.e 2,500 years later.
Dan 11:35 And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time.
Warships of the West sent to the Middle East
Following 2023 October 7, Hamas-led attack on Israel and the outbreak of the Gaza war, the United States began to send warships and military aircraft into the Eastern Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf to maintain peace and also to defend Israel against any Iranian attack. Some in the West (UK, Germany, Italy, France, etc.) also sent warships to help US to maintain peace.
At this moment, Israel and the West are constantly striking the Iranian proxy bases in both Syria and Iraq.
Iran is surrounded by warships of the West especially the invincible US Carrier fleets and its annihilation looks certain.
King of the North
The present king of the North is the 85 years old Supreme leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei. Its proxies are the Hezbollah in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen.
King of the South
The present king of the South is Israel with its allies (the West led by US).
Start of the Prelude of World War 3
Dan 11:29-30a "At the appointed time he (king of the North) shall return and go toward the south; but it shall not be like the former or the latter. For ships from Chittim (land of the West) shall come against him;..."
As soon as the king of the North (Iran and proxies) retaliate and attack Israel (king of the South), something which had not happened before ( not like the former ) was found in this warfare. Ships from Chittim (Western nations or the West) will intercept the Iranian's attack. It was only after the construction of the Suez Canal in the 19th Century that ships from the West (Mediterranean Sea) were able to. reach Iran.
Fulfillment of Prophecies
1st. Iranian Aerial Attack
On 2024 April 13, Iran unleashed a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel in retaliation for April 1's suspected Israeli strike on its consulate in Damascus, which killed 13 people. Iran's massive aerial attack marks the first direct strike by Iran on Israeli territory from Iranian soil.
The Israeli military also said the vast majority of the projectiles were intercepted outside the country's borders with help from the warships of the US, the United Kingdom and France. Jordan also shot down some of the missiles aimed at Israel as they were flying through Jordanian airspace.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Sunday that the US also intercepted "dozens" of missiles and drones launched at Israel from Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
2nd. Iranian Aerial Attack
On 2024 October 1, two US Navy destroyers launched around a dozen interceptors to help defend Israel against a massive attack by Iran on Tuesday, the Pentagon said.
On October 26, Israel carried out what it described as "precise and targeted" airstrikes on Iran on Saturday, in retaliation for the barrage of strikes launched by Tehran against Israel earlier this month. This recent aerial strike had wiped out most of the Iranian air defense.
