At the time of the
end the king of the South[Israel]
shall
attack him; [i.e.Iran] and
the king of the North[Iran]shall come
against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and
with many ships, and
he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass
through… (Dan. 11:40)
And he [Iran, king of the
North] shall plant the tents of his palace
between the seas and the
glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no
one will help him.
(Dan. 11:45)
At that time Michael shall stand up,
the great prince
who stands watch over the sons of your people; [i.e., Judah’s descendants,
the Jews]and
there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since
there was a nation,
even to that time… (Dan. 12:1a)
Zechariah
9:12-13 NKJV
12 Return
to
the stronghold, [Judah,
Israel]
You prisoners of hope.
Even today I declare ThatI will
restore double to you. 13 For I have bent Judah,
My bow, [Israel (Gen.
49:8-9), against your enemies, as a
lion]
Fitted the bow with Ephraim,
[USA.
(Gen. 48:19), son of Joseph.
Multitude of nations.]
And raised up your sons, O
Zion,
Against your sons, O Greece, [Iran,
King
of the North; ex Greek Seleucid kingdom) And made you [Zion]like
the
sword of a mighty man.”
Zechariah
10:6-8NKJV
6 “I will strengthen the house of Judah, [Israel] And I will save the house
of Joseph. [Ephraim and Manasseh] I will bring them back, [to Israel] Because
I have mercy on them. They shall be as though I had not cast them
aside; For I am the Lord their God, And I will hear them. 7 Those ofEphraim shall be
like a mighty man, And their heart shall rejoice as if
with wine. Yes, their children shall see it and
be glad;
[descendants
of Ephraim, in the world] Their heart shall rejoice
in the Lord. 8 I
will whistle for them and
gather them, [from other countries] For I will redeem them;
And they shall increase as they
once increased.
