The Rise Of the 4th Persian King And The Beis Rabeinu ShebeBovel
October 22, 2010
Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad join forces and call for a "New World Order" - one that seeks to destroy the United States and Western nations dominance.
I have written several articles about the correlation of Daniel 8 and 11 having to do with an end-time great Gentile power going to war against a powerful and wealthy Persian king (modern day Iran). All the translators mistranslate the Hebrew word "Javan" to mean the country of Greece, but that is incorrect. Javan is a descendent of Japheth, son of Noah from which the Gentiles originated, particularly the Western White Gentiles. Therefore, the king of Javan is not the king of Greece, but a powerful end- time Gentile nation.
Daniel 8 says the king of Javan represented by a shaggy goat comes from the West without touching the ground and utterly destroys the Ram - the kings of Medo-Persia and again modern day Iran; However, after the shaggy goat with the large horn between his eyes destroys the Ram, the large horn (symbol of power and authority) is broken and his kingdom divided into four parts. From one of the divisions a small horn arises that achieves great prominence and even wars against the God of heaven. Only one personage could fit that bill - Satan operating through the Antichrist.
Most Bible commentators believe both passages in Daniel 8 and 11 refer to Alexander the Great - the king of ancient Greece who conquered the Medo-Persian Empire in the 3rd century B.C. It is true that Alexander's kingdom was divided among four of his generals and while it is convenient to assign the passage to the ancient pass, the context rules that out for the angel Gabriel tells Daniel the Vision is for 2300 days in the time of the end. Daniel lived unto the Medo-Persian Empire and not far removed from the rise of Alexander the Great.
It is my belief that Alexander's conquest of Medo-Persia was a type or shadow of an end-time conflict between a powerful Gentile nation and modern day Iran. The Shaggy or male goat from the West appears to be the United States. If this is the correct scenario, then the United States will go to war with Iran in a surprise attack and completely destroy Iran. After that great conquest when the Gentile nation is full of pride, it is suddenly defeated and broken up into four lessor nations. It is interesting the Hebrew meaning of "large horn" is super power. There has only been one super power on this earth since WWII - the United States of America.
Daniel 11 says there will come forth a fourth Persian king who will be very wealthy and he will use his wealth to stir-up other nations (Hebrew says all nations or many nations) to fight or oppose the king of the Gentiles (Javan).
No one fits this bill like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran (ancient Medo-Persia). He along with Chavez are calling for a New World Order to oppose the dominance of the United States and the Western powers. This alliance is a grave threat to the United States as Chavez is seeking to join the nuclear club and so is Iran. The United States and probably Israel (Israel is content to have the U.S. fight its wars - that was the real reason we went to war with Iraq - to protect Israel from Sadam Hussein; Ariel Sharon pressured President Bush to take out Saddam and he was more than willing to capitulate) cannot allow either Iran or Venezuela to obtain nuclear weapons. We buy oil from both countries (Yes, we buy Iranian oil indirectly on the open market and have done so for many years) and if an Iranian - Venezeulan pact results in cutting us off from a vital oil source, war will result.
Even though the CFR has plans to divide the United States into three geographic regions (It could be the merger of the U.S., Canada and Mexico or it could be an actual divison of the land into lessor states) and the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Army said he believes the United States will be divided into several lessor states, few believe this could actually happen except yours truly. It is my opinion that if Daniel 8 and 11 concern the United States involvement in a war with Iran, then to fulfill the prophecy, the U.S. will be defeated and broken-up into four lessor states. From one of those lessor states will come forth the Antichrist. There is a large Jewish population in the United States having a major synagogue in New York located at 770 Eastern Parkway in Manhatten. One of the names of the synagogue is Beis Rabeinu ShebeBovel ("Babylonian house of our teacher").
The following excerpt from Wikipedia is most interesting (I wrote an article about this several months ago):
Importance of 770
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson described[6] 770 as "Beis Rabbenu ShebeBovel" ("Babylonian house of our teacher"), "And we may explain, according the above, that as regards 'our teacher's Babylonian house' in this generation-it means the home and synagogue of my holy father-in-law, the leader of our generation... 'Our teacher's house' is the primary 'little Temple' in this last exile ... which is the place of the future Temple itself, and not only that, but there will be revealed the future Bais Hamikdash, and from there it will go to Jerusalem. This idea is suggested in the name of 'our teacher's house' in our generation: ... it is universally referred to by its number, 770, which has the same gematria as paratzta (you will spread out)."[9]
Zalman Jaffe was a lay leader in Manchester, England and had a very close relationship with the Lubavitcher Rebbe, in his book "My Encounter with the Rebbe", he relates that, "I found a Tehillim in 770 which, on the front piece, was inscribed, 'The gematria of Beis Moshiach (the house of Moshiach) is 770.' I showed it to the Rebbe who laughed heartily."[10]
This is most interesting in that this synagogue is connected to Mystery Babylon and is referred to as the "little temple" from which the Bais Hamikdash (Holy Temple in the likeness of Solomon's temple) in Jerusalem will originate (It will move from New York to Jerusalem).
Could this synagogue be the precursor of the Jewish Antichrist who rises to power from one of the four divisons of the former United States of America, then at the middle of the tribulation moves his HQ to Jerusalem after Solomons temple is rebuilt FOR HIM? Yes, I think that is a possibility. While many have been looking for the Antichrist to come from Europe or the Middle East, he may very well originate right here in the United States.
Note: One problem with the above scenario's is that according to Ezekiel 38 and 39, Iran will be an ally of the King of the North (Russia) along with many other Arab countries that invade the Middle East, specifically, Israel. So if the U.S. destroys Iran, then Iran could not be part of the Ezekiel invasion. The timing of Daniel 8 and 11 with Ezekiel 38 and 39 is not clear, only that it will take place.
God bless.
