Fourth Seal (WW3) - 2
Daniel's Prelude to World War 3 -1.
The Grecian Empire
Dan 11:3 Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Alexander the Great created a vast empire that stretched from Macedonia to Egypt and from Greece to part of India.
Dan 11:4 And when he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken up and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not among his posterity nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.
After Alexander's death, his empire was divided into four major portions by 301 BCE:
1. Cassander ruled over Greece,
2. Lysimachus ruled in Asia Minor,
3. Seleucus I Nicator (king of the North) ruled in Babylon and Persia, and
4. Ptolemy I Soter (king of the South) ruled over the Holy Land and Egypt.
The last conflict between the king of the South which is an alliance of Israel and Egypt with the king of the North, Iran will spark off WW3.
Prelude to World War 3
Dan 11:29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
'The time appointed' is that particular time or day in the last days (time of the end) just before Rapture.
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
Dan 11:30a For the ships of Chittim (the West) shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved... (KJV)
Chittim or Kittim means the West or Western Coastland. Today, the West refers to US and EU (former Christian nations)
For the ships of the West (Chittim)
As soon as Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, US President Joe Biden took the opportunity to send the newest and largest aircraft carrier Jerald Ford strike group to be stationed in the East Mediterranean to protect Israel.
A week later, another aircraft carrier the Eisenhower strike group was sent to strengthen the defence of Israel. Many nations of the West (UK, France, Germany, Italy, etc.) also sent their warships to the Red Sea, Gulf of Persia and the Arabian Sea to help US maintain peace in the middle East and also prevent Iran from attacking Israel. Iran is now surrounded by the warships of the West.
Warships of the West (Chittim) shall come against him - taking down Iranian missiles and drones.
1st. Iranian Retaliatory 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.
2nd. Iranian Retaliatory 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 defence. Iran is now almost defenceless against any aerial attacks from Israel and the warships of the West.
Fulfilment of Prophecy of Ships from Chittim
Warships from the West (Chittim) helping Israel to bring down the Iranian aerial attack with missiles and drones fulfilled prophecy.
Dan 11:29-30a At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. For the ships of Chittim (the West) shall come against him:
