The prophecies of Ezekiel, Daniel, and others tell us that war is coming against Israel and what nations and people groups will be involved. What is most interesting about this is that the predictions of Ezekiel, made over 2,600 years ago, line up very closely with the current alignment of nations that we see emerging today: the Islamic nations, which are forming coalitions to “wipe Israel off the face of the earth,” the Northern and Eastern nations that are making efforts to establish a One-World Order, and a small number of nations that tend to be supportive of Israel to a smaller or larger extent.

Spheres of Power: Or the most dominant power in a geographic region in relation to Israel

The Biblical prophets predicted that in the end days, there would be four main superpowers (or spheres of power) in four geographic regions in relation to Israel. They are the King of the North and the King of the South (Daniel 11:40), the Kings of the East (Revelation 16:12), and the King of the West (Revelation 13). The prophets further predicted that there would be alliances formed between some of these kings.

These kings may include some of the following nations and their leaders:

• King of the North: Russia, Turkey, or Syria (may include Lebanon, Hezbollah, Hamas).
• King of the South: Traditionally in the Bible referring to Egypt. This king will most likely include the 57 Islamic nations that make up The Organization of the Islamic Conference but could also include Indonesia.
• Kings of the East: China, Japan and India (may include North Korea depending upon final alliances).
• King of the West: called The Beast or The Revived Roman Empire – this king will most likely come out of what today is called The European Union and may include parts of the old Ottoman Empire.

Israel, Arab Neighbors, and the United States

The Abraham Accord is designed to begin the normalization of relations between Israel and the Arab nations. Initiated by President Donald Trump and his administration, it was signed at the White House on September 15, 2020, by leaders from the United States, Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. On October 23, 2020, Sudan formally agreed to normalize ties with Israel, and on December 10, 2020, President Trump announced that Morocco agreed to establish full diplomatic relations. Saudi Arabia and Oman are still contemplating the Accord. Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994) are the only other nations to have peace deals with Israel.

Kings of the North and East – Daniel 11:40, Ezekiel 38, Revelation 16:12

We are told that the King of the North will ally itself with numerous allies, as will the Kings of the East. Do we see this happening in part or in full? Indeed, we do.

BRICS

The BRIC bloc originally brought together four of the world’s largest emerging economies representing 40 percent of the world’s population and 25 percent of global GDP. The GDP figure is expected to double to 50% of global GDP by 2030. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa are its current members, and today is known as BRICS. Argentina, Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Iran, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Mexico, Nigeria, Sudan, Syria, Pakistan, and Venezuela have also expressed interest in joining the BRICS organization. Their goal: the establishment of a “multipolar world order.”

SCO

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) brings together almost half the world’s population, and several members have nuclear weapons. The SCO includes China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as full members. Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Cambodia, Egypt, Kuwait, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are all either dialogue partners or observers. Their goal: to eliminate the dominance of the United States as a financial and political superpower.

King of the South – Daniel 11:40, Psalm 83

We are told that when the time for the end comes, the Kings of the South and Kings of the North will not only come against each other but will also come against Israel and attempt to wipe it off the face of the earth. Do we see this happening in part or in full? Indeed, we do.

OPEC

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries was established in 1960 by Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iraq, Kuwait, and Iran. Today OPEC includes Algeria, Congo, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Venezuela. OPEC claims to own about four-fifths of the world’s petroleum but only two-fifths of world oil production and provides these commodities under the banner of economic development, social development, and environmental protection. Their goal: to ensure secure fair and stable prices for petroleum products and to support faster transition to renewable sources of energy.

OIC

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation is an entity that serves the aspirations and expectations of its member states and Muslim communities across the world. There are 57 nations in OIC. Some of the key members are Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Palestinian Authority, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Suriname, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Their goal: eliminate both Israel (the little Satan) and the United States (the great Satan).

King of the West – Jeremiah 25 & Revelation 13

And what about the King of the West? Is he forming any alliances? Do we see this happening in part or in full? Indeed, we do.

The European Union (EU) aka the Revived Roman Empire

The first three members of the ancient Roman Empire were: Belgium, Holland, and Luxembourg. Those same three members were the first to join the European Union in 1948! Today the number of members stands at 28. The European Union is very adamant that a new world order must be formed.

G-20, G-8 (Gee whiz)

Both the Group of Twenty (G-20) and the Group of Eight (G-8) have come to historic agreements in London, some of which could have far-reaching implications for the governance of the global economy. The G-20 is the premier forum for international economic development that promotes open and constructive discussion between industrial and emerging-market countries on key issues related to global economic stability. They were one of the first to state, “A global crisis requires a global solution.”

The Group of Eight (G-8), formerly G6 and G7, wants to eliminate deregulation of world trade, eliminate protectionism, and resolve crises in food security and safety and the struggle against climate changes. Their goals: a unified one-world government.

What about the “New World Order”?

Do we see signs of this happening? Indeed, we do. Today, the United Nations is at the forefront of the efforts to institute the One-World Government.

So, too, apparently, are many in the United States. George H.W. Bush (September 11, 1990) spoke of the need for a new world order, and Bill Clinton not only agreed but dramatically expanded upon Bush’s “need.” In his speech in Berlin on July 24, 2008, Barack Obama said: “I am a fellow citizen of the World. In this new world, we’ll have a global citizenship. We will join in a new global partnership. We must come together to save the planet. We need a globalized world. People of the world, this is our time. We must answer our destiny and remake the world once again.” Henry Kissinger stated that “Obama is primed to create the new World Order.” In March 2022, Joe Biden said there is “going to be a new world order” that must be led by the United States.

Pope Francis, on numerous occasions, has called for efforts to fight global warming and is a primary spokesman for that cause at the U.N. Pope Francis believes that our planet is overpopulated, that something needs to be done to rectify that, and is fully behind efforts to do so via pharmaceutical methods. The Catholic-Muslim Interfaith Council created by Pope Francis announced the building of the New “Chrislam” Headquarters, which combines a Mosque and a Church, called the Abrahamic Family House – one of many steps he has taken to establish a One-World Religion. Pope Francis has frequently called for new powers to be transferred to an International Authority that ‘manages’ the interests of nations – in other words, a One-World Government.

Depopulation Agendas

Agendas 21 and 2030

Both Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 espouse plans to depopulate the World’s Population by 2030, perhaps by as much as 95%. According to statement ‘c’ from the Initiative For Eco-92 Earth Charter, “Present vast overpopulation, now far beyond the world-carrying capacity, cannot be answered by future reductions in the birth rate due to sterilization and abortion but must be met in the present by the reduction of numbers presently existing. This must be done by whatever means necessary.”

According to the Bible

We are living in a unique time of history. The prophecies are firing in rapid succession, like the final fireworks display on the fourth of July. Elohim (God) has a few choice words to say about the depopulation agendas.

Leviticus 26:21, 26:25, 26:26 – “And if you walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues… famine…and pestilence upon you.”

Revelation 6:8 – “One-quarter of the world’s people will be killed by war, by famine, and by plagues.”

Revelation 9:21, 21:8, 22:15 – “They will not give up their pharmaceuticals or their drugs… their destiny is the lake burning with fire.”

Conclusions

The world is changing, and changes are happening so fast that one can’t keep up. Daily newspapers and online websites that track world news give hour-by-hour and even minute-by-minute updates.

Although each group tackles worldwide conditions in a different manner, one common thread can be seen in the goals and purposes of each of these Kings: the institution of a New World Order and a One-World Governing Body. Each King, in its own way, helps to turn the heart of man away from Yahweh / Yeshua and toward a human solution.

As the power of these “Kings” begins to coalesce, one must ask the question: “How close are we to the resurrection of the dead in Yeshua, the rapture, and the beginning of the seven years of the Tribulation Period?”

Genesis 9:12-13 “And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.”

There is something called a mnemonic, which is known as “ROY G BIV,” designed to help us remember the 7-color sequences of God’s rainbow that He lovingly displays in the clouds. They stand for R-red, O-orange, Y-yellow, G-green, B-blue, I-indigo, and V-violet. A combination of colors that, when seen blended together in the sky, is so stunningly beautiful when arrayed against the vast earthly backdrop of God’s magnificent canvas!

Genesis 9:14-15 “And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.”

Abba Father created this symbol to let us know that we are not forgotten by Him. He intended it as a ‘significant covenant,’ and it is definitely a special sign from our Creator and Almighty God! It was constituted and brought about by Him as a promise to us and every living creature on earth that He would never again destroy everything all at once during another catastrophic worldwide flood!

Genesis 9:16 “And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.”

Let’s talk about something that is often associated with rainbows for a minute, which undeniably are clouds. When we see or hear quotes about clouds, they are often about the ‘clouds of life’ This is meant as a type of metaphor describing negative situations we experience in life, such as the idiom which says, “Behind every cloud, there is a silver lining.” This implies that behind every negative setback in life, there are usually some positive or redeeming outcomes that can often come out from it.

Ezekiel 1:28 “As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.”

Recently, one early morning as I was driving to town to run some errands, I saw the most majestic cloud formations along the backdrop of rolling hills, farmlands, and pastures! Along the way, the glorious morning sunrise was peeking through these clouds creating a spectacular array of glittering gold lining! It was so awe-strikingly beautiful that it was hard to look away while I was navigating my journey!

Revelation 4:3 “And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”

It is said that much of communication is nonverbal. Upon research on body language, it has been determined that about 93% of communication is nonverbal, while only 7% is verbal. Mainly, that body language and varying tones of speech make up most of our daily interactions and communication! On that note, it is impossible to say that God doesn’t speak to us when He nonverbally speaks to us all the time, such as through His creation and through His divinely inspired and written Word!

Revelation 10:1 “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:”

For example, a few years ago, on my birthday, I remember leaving the house only to be met by a double rainbow at the end of our street, which happened to be splendidly hovering in the sky right in front of me as if my Abba Father was saying, “Happy Birthday”! God loves us so much if only we would pay attention! Thank You for Your great love, Abba!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow – partial lyrics: (By Israel Kamakawiwoʻole)

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,
Why, oh why can’t I? i iiii

In recent weeks, another celebrity passed away. This person was a prominent and well-known journalist. As usual, I had to look up the faith and beliefs of this person, and once again, 9 times out of 10, they did not know the Lord. Unfortunately, this is what they had to say about the afterlife during an interview:

Barbara Walters on heaven – Beliefnet

From movies to pop songs, heaven has a huge hold on the popular imagination. Why do you think that is?

First of all, I think we’re all concerned about life on earth and if this is all there is. And because heaven has always been this wondrous, mystical place. Before we had airplanes and astronauts, we really thought that there was an actual place beyond the clouds, somewhere over the rainbow. There was an actual place, and we could go above the clouds and find it.

Is there a place somewhere?

Some of the religions think there is, that there’s absolutely a place. Some of them think it’s not a place, but it’s a spiritual feeling. The Buddhists feel that you are recreated as some thing, as an insect, or an animal, or a person, but that you’re not in some beautiful shiny place. -End Source

To this, all I have to say is whether worldly people want to believe in an afterlife, heaven, God, Jesus, or that a Creator designed something as spectacularly beautiful as a rainbow is irrelevant. Because once they die and leave this earth, they will finally come face to face with the truth that they chose to deny all along! This is utterly sad but also true.

No matter how much those who try and nefariously hijack God’s rainbow, in the end, everyone who ever lived will stand before God and His majestic display all around His magnificent throne! An arrangement of colors that He splendidly designed to be arrayed around our Lord Jesus Christ on that glorious day! There will finally be no more doubting, debating, or refuting when, what, where, and who this awe-strikingly beautiful creation truly belongs to. In the end, on that day, in the end!

Revelation 21:18-23

“And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

“And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”

***Beauty upon unspeakable beauty…. Oh, how I long to be there with my Savior who I shall finally see…. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!***

Until next time… Maranatha!

Sincerely & In Christ,

Candy Austin
