THE DANIEL 8 HORN IS ABOUT TO BE BROKEN! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR TRUMP AND THE USA?
Daniel 8:8, Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
If you’ve been reading my newsletter for the past year and half you know I’ve been telling you this day was approaching quickly. I’ve been telling you that Daniel 8 is the event that directly precedes the coming of the Beast of Revelation 13. That Daniel 8 is about the event that kicks off the “end” and the Day of the Lord. That this event is the conflict between the Empire of the West (Greece-Post WW2 USA Empire) and Persia (Iran) (Daniel 8:4-5). I told you the West would attack only from sea and sky (Daniel 8:5) and with “great fury” which ended up being called “Epic Fury” (Daniel 8:6) by the USA military. I told you that the United States Navy’s mascot is a Goat (Daniel 8:5), and that this would be a complete victory for the Western Empire (Daniel 8:7).
All of this has come to pass.
But what I also told you is shortly to come to pass. The “great horn” on the Goat (Daniel 8:8) would be broken when this victory is complete.
Daniel 8:8, Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
Amazingly out of the jaws of victory J.D. Vance and Donald Trump snatch defeat. Not militarily. It was a complete success of the US Navy. But the hubris of the Trump administration has decided to sow the seeds of his own breaking by paying 300 Billion dollars to the Persians (Iran) that have held the world hostage since the 1970’s.
Trump and Vance are trying to tell you that this is not USA taxpayer money being paid off to terrorists. I’m telling you…this is a shell game. Sure, Qatar and Saudi Arabia will pay Iran and then we will pay Qatar and Saudi Arabia. It’s a complete shame. I would contest Trump and Vance are lying to you. How would you like a WW2 headline… “Trump pays off Hitler”…it’s only 300 Billion dollars and oh it’s not USA taxpayer money…it’s funded by frozen German assets and it’s paid by the French.
You get the picture. This is nothing short of betrayal. Oh, I get it…Trump slow walked the war till he allowed our oil reserves to drain to the point that he had no choice but to pay off the Persians (Iran). He’s funding terrorists and it is because he thinks more of himself than he does our allies.
Sure, he crushed Iran and then gave them our money to rebuild. He has sown the seed of his own breaking. How will this “great horn” (Trump) be broken? It doesn’t say. But it could happen several ways. The American public will find this so distasteful that they will cause the Republicans to lose the midterm elections and Trump will be impeached. The Bond market could implode. The Dollar could inflate away. Trump may become ill and be replaced. Russia may end up attacking after years of NATO belligerence. Who knows? But either way Trump’s plan for Gaza resorts will never be completed.
Zephaniah 2:4, For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. 5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
Notice this event is right before the Day of the Lord.
Zephaniah 2:2, Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you.
Trump is gloating the he is the great peacemaker and the boss. Here is the truth of the matter.
1 Thessalonians 5: 1, But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Daniel 8, Zephaniah 2, and 1Thessaonlians 5 are telling you what happens right before the “Day of the Lord”.
So, Iran (Persia) is crushed. The He Goat (USA) is victorious. And when the He Goat became strong it’s “Horn” will be broken. Is that Trump? Is it our Military? Is it the ruling power in the USA (Republicans)? Either way…it doesn’t take long after the defeat of the Ram (Persia/Iran).
What happens after our breaking?
The post WW2 USA Empire is broken into 4 pieces that will remain in lesser power than the current Western Empire. It’s fractured and not united. It creates a power vacuum in which one of the horns will wax greater and will militarily attack in the Middle East and Israel. Why does this happen? The controlling power of the USA Empire is no longer relevant and able to deter this “little horn” from attacking Israel.
Daniel 8:8, Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. 9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down. 12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Let’s think about this. Who is currently a part of the Western Empire…through NATO and resides in the Middle East?
Turkey. It pushes to the South, East, and towards Israel.
Congratulations…the USA is not the Beast of Revelation 13…but we are also no longer influential during the Day of the Lord. We are broken before the Day of the Lord. Is it because we are defeated? Because the Leftist Communists have won the election? Is it because the dollar dies? Is it because Trump has lost the electorate because he failed to finish off our enemies?
2 Kings 13:14, Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. 15 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. 16 And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands. 17 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. 18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. 19 And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice. 20 And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
Now I fully realize this is about Israel fighting Syria…but the lesson is the same. You struck only 3 times…you should have kept striking till you had consumed them! So be it.
Trump may end up attacking some more and crushing Iran/Persia even further. It won’t change what comes after. As of today, he has played into Muslim strategy and marginalized our best ally, Israel. Muslims are playing him like a puppet and using our tax money to fund terrorism.
Remember the lesson of Saul.
1 Samuel 15:2, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
God’s direction is clear.
1 Samuel 15:9, But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. 10 Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying, 11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night. 12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal. 13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the Lord: I have performed the commandment of the Lord. 14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
Read the book of Esther to see the connection between Amalek and Persia (Iran). Will Trump leave Haman (Amalek) alive?
Esther 3:1, After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
The Prince of Persia, Haman, was an Amalekite. Agag, the King that Saul had to deal with was an Amalekite. The administration Trump is fighting in Persia/Iran is Amalekite. It was the Amalekites that kept killing Israel as they were leaving Egypt and the wilderness. You keep fighting the same battle because you think you are more compassionate and better than God. You aren’t. God is trying to save us from a bitter end at the Amalakite’s hands and you keep refusing to follow God’s instruction and it is costing the lives of our children.
Finish striking…before God removes you.
