Special Forces Take Down US, Russia, China, EU, UN in Daniel 2 before 2nd Coming of Christ

When asked about the end of the world, Christ said to understand the book of Daniel—His prophecies span 2500 years with accuracy that converts atheists. Napoleon, Hitler and communism have sought world supremacy, but in Daniel 2, the head of gold, chest of silver, thighs of brass and legs of iron (representing Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grecia and Rome) mock all efforts at global government and we will see the Stone Kingdom smash the image of world governments—let’s consider Daniel 2 more closely.

Most Christians think the Stone Kingdom is the 2^nd coming, but let’s be careful what we want to believe. The context of Daniel 2 has good reasons why it is not Christ’s return. If Christ were to come from the sky today, everyone would raise their hand and say, I’m yours–Take me! 

We can see that it wouldn’t work for some people, but we don’t see it applying to us—we think we are ready for heaven. But when God liberated a million Jews from Egypt, and took them to the “Promised Land,” God first took them to the wilderness and they became His kingdom by a covenant (Exod 19:5,6), but 40 days later, they were worshiping a calf—they didn’t know their own fickle nature, and isn’t that true of us all?

The book of Daniel reveals life or death issues. Daniel and his friends were willing to die rather than dishonor God and God honored them as we will see in the next article on Daniel 3. but for now, we should wonder about the Stone Kingdom in Daniel 2.

Daniel 2:45 says the stone is cut out of a mountain. The only other usage of “mountain” in Daniel refers to Jerusalem—God’s holy mountain—His people. Here’s where the special forces play a role of taking down the kingdoms of this world, like Moses took down Egypt. Revelation 11:3-6 shows God giving His [special forces] power to shut the heavens and turn water to blood. This is what Moses and Elijah did. When Moses was done, Egypt was in ruins. History will repeat for those who sing the song of Moses’ experience, Rev 15:3, Eccl 3:15.

God’s special forces are the 144,000 who are ‘virgins,’ Rev 14:4. Since the Bible explains itself, they must be the wise virgins that get into the wedding which is a covenant relationship that God regards as a marriage, Jer 3:14; Matt 25:4,10. Paul included the Exodus in “all those things happened to them for our examples.” 1Cor 10:1,11.

This helps us understand the wedding parables. What makes the virgins [special forces] “wise” is their understanding of timing. “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Ps 90:12. God won’t do anything without revealing it in His Word. Amos 3:7, but it’s “here a little, there a little” (Isa 28:10) because God wants us to become familiar with the Bible as our guidebook for life.

Right timing is crucial to the setting up of God’s kingdom. When the disciples wanted to know when, Christ said that it was “not for [them] to know the times and seasons,” a phrase referring to kingdoms.” That phrase is found only three times–Dan 2:21, Acts 1:6,7–not for the disciples to know, and 1Thess 5:1-3—it’s for us!

Note that Paul links the times and seasons for the kingdom to “the day of the Lord”—the end-time period that is a natural extension of “the night of the Lord”—a phrase used re Egypt’s destruction in Exodus 12:41.

Like with Egypt, the destruction of the US will come suddenly when they say ‘Peace and safety’ like we said in the Iran Nuclear Treaty that was worthless, as suggested by the tape of Iran’s nuclear scientist who projected five warheads on their missiles; he was executed this past week by special forces!

Paul also said the destruction will come “as travail on a woman with child.” 1Thess 5:1-3. Egypt travailed with God’s first-born, Exod 4:22. God “executed judgment,” Exod 12:12. Egypt killed Israelite babies but the US has aborted 60 million. If He is just, He must avenge our deaths as in Egypt, and He will!

The Exodus was a jubilee event that gave freedom from servitude and the promise of land, Lev 25:10. Can we see a parallel between the bondage of Israel in Egypt and the bondage of most people in the US to alcohol, tobacco, drugs that we call “healthcare” and so many negative lifestyles? History is begging to repeat!

The freedom of jubilee came in the 50^th years after seven weeks of years. 2023 will be the 50^th year since Roe v Wade (echoes of Egypt killing babies) and each 7^th year has had major signs like 2001 with 9-11, 2008 with a stock market crash and a recession, and 2015 had a series of signs–

The sun was eclipsed on the equinox and a blood moon on Passover fulfilled Joel 2:31; ‘peace and safety’ with Iran was 1Thess 5:3), and an abomination was “standing where it ought not” Mk 13:14. The Bible says to lie mankind with mankind as with womankind is an abomination, Lev 18:22, and it was “standing where it ought not,” in the Supreme Court.

Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grecia and Rome are represented by the image in Daniel 2, but they are also seen in Daniel 7. Babylon had lions in its architecture. The bear, leopard and dragon represented Medo-Persia, Grecia and Rome, but Dan 7:17 says they are four kingdoms that “shall arise” but Babylon was declining under its last king, Belshazzar. “Shall arise” allows for an end-time application of the 4 kingdoms that fit now.

The head of gold in Daniel 2 becomes the US with alliance to the UK because of the lion had eagle’s wings!  The chest of silver becomes Russia because of the political cartoon of a bear, the 2^nd beast in Daniel 7. The thighs of brass become China (leopard with 4 heads–an alliances of China, Korea, Japan, India? The legs of iron become the European Union represented by the 10 horns of the dragon, the 4^th beast in Daniel 7.

Comparing Daniel 2 and 7 enables us to see relevance for our time as Daniel is “unsealed” at the time of the end, Dan 12:4. Because so much of our news is controlled by big money behind global government, we do better to prefer God’s news and seek to understand how we can become His kingdom—the Stone in Daniel 2.

The Stone grows to fill the earth—another reason that is not the 2^nd coming is because it’s all decided then—and “we which are alive shall be caught up…” 1Thess 4:17. A correct understanding of the Bible, especially Daniel and Revelation, has far more value than the scripted news we see on TV and lamestream media.

The 50 year ‘jubilee’ from Roe v Wade is the first of five reasons that point to 2023 for expectancy of the end-time period that many call the ‘tribulation.’ Many Evangelical Christians expect to be “raptured” before the tribulation, but the Bible says “we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom,” Acts 14:22.

Paul is clear when he said, “we shall all be changed…at the last trump,” 1Cor 15:51,52. There are 7 trumpets in Revelation 8 and 9 that are preceded by an earthquake in Rev 8:5 that will initiate the end-time period as seen in Joel 2:10,11 and 1Thess 5:1-3 where Paul says we know the ‘times and seasons’ (for God’s kingdom)

The next 4 articles on Daniel 3,4,5 & 8 will have four different supports for 2023 as the beginning of tribulation. May God bless and guide our study as we like and share a fresh look at Scripture—shouldn’t we know more about the Bible, the all-time best-selling book with so much relevance for today’s news?
