I wanted to take some time to dissect/cross reference some scripture in relation the Anti-Christ and the Tribulation.
Some accounts of this time period (and the preceding years as well) can be found in Daniel 7 and 11.
I'll also reference Rev. 13 here, also.
Daniel 7 gives us a description of the blocs of nation states that will be involved in the end times.
The first beast, in 7:4 refers to the Anglophone bloc of nation states, or Jacob.
The second beast, in Daniel 7:5 refers to the bloc of states led by Russia, including nation states that will be absorbed into its sphere of influence. 3 of them.
The third beast (Dan. 7:6) refers to the bloc of Germany and France together.
These three beasts together will represent the Allies in the battle of Armageddon.
The fourth beast (Dan. 7:7-9) is also described in Revelation 13.
During the end times, 7 seals will be released upon planet Earth.
The first seal is being opened as we speak.
Revelation 6 discusses these in detail.
Daniel 11:2 refers to a king that for one reason or another, he will stir up conflict with Greece, probably with ballistic missiles.
A war with the West will take out the regime in charge in Iran because of this.
Continuing on until Daniel 11:20, a tax-raiser, or "exactor of tribute" shall arise, but he will be killed after a few days, with minimal effort. Probably the snapping of a set of fingers.
(2 Thessalonians 2 discusses the details of this time period a bit, too.
One thing to remember is that the Rapture of the Church will not take place until these things take place, or one year before Armageddon. Another thing to remember is that the Anti-Christ will not be revealed openly until I leave planet Earth.)
Daniel 11:21 refers to the subsequent importation of the Anti-Christ from an outside nation, most likely from France or Germany. He will be an allied puppet (up until a certain point, that is).
Verse 30 refers to the point in time when things take a turn for the worse.
"Ships" (orders or commands) from the allies will come in, and he will turn against them and take steps toward desecrating the temple in Jerusalem.
Verses 31-35 continues on about this, or Jerusalem being trodden down by the Gentiles.
Some will die "by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil."
(Verse 35 discusses time in Purgatory.)
Verses 36-39 discusses how the Anti-Christ will worship and exalt himself above all.
He will live in a palace or fortress replete with spoils and riches.
He's actually referred to as "the god of forces."
(Where does he get this money from? Iranians will sell territory to foreigners and then rent it as a stream of revenue for foreigners. Heaven's Bankers describes this process in detail.)
In addition, seven trumpets will blow during the Great Tribulation. (Rev. 8-10)
These take place within a 2 and a half year time period, prior to the Day of the Lord, or the year preceding Armageddon.
I want to take some time to discuss a few trumpets in particular.
The first leads to famine.
Joel 1 and Ezekiel 7:19 discuss such ideas.
(We will discuss the need to prepare for this point in time to have enough food to feed ourselves and our allies. You can't eat gold or silver, after all.)
The second, Rev. 8:8 describes a "great mountain burning with fire" falling into the sea, turning one third of the sea turning into blood.
The third (Rev. 8:10-11) describes the wormwood plague of bitter waters.
The fourth (Rev. 8:12) describes the heavenly signs (Matthew 24:29)
The fifth details (Rev. 9:1-12) a locust-like plague, explicitly designed to torment the unsaved.
The sixth (Rev. 9:13-21) describes the drying up for the river Euphrates and World War 3.
One third of the world's population will perish therein.
Daniel 11 verses 40-43 discuss World War 3 in further detail.
(Zechariah 5:1-4 discusses nuclear weapons being used).
(Matthew 24:22 says that "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.")
The seventh trumpet marks The Rapture, which takes place one year before the Battle of Armageddon (otherwise known as the Day of the Lord).
Seven bowl judgments will be poured out during the Day of the Lord, or the last year, prior to Armageddon taking place.
Revelation 16 describes the bowl judgments in great detail.
The church is raptured prior to all of this taking place.
Daniel 11:44-45 describes the Anti-Christ's defeat in the battle of Armageddon.
The end, dissected.

"Archipelago"
After some additional study, I have begun to believe that political/intelligence/diplomatic/military actions involving the US, Great Britain, France, Israel, and the Soviet Union led to a new international order in the Middle East that would outlast the Cold War. It has long-lasting ramifications that we are still dealing with, in one way or another, today.
In fact, yes, it would outlast the Cold War, and the foundations for radical Islamist ideology were laid within this specific window in time.
(Instability in Syria, Egypt, and Iraq are the focus here. Sunni Wahhabism linked to Osama Bin Laden developed in Saudi Arabia are somewhat of a different focus, although it is indeed linked to a broader, overarching theory about the End of the Age. In the future, a Sunni bloc will end up in a conflict with an alliance of Shia beliefs/finance melded with what I would like to call a "warped version of Catholicism.")
Of particular note is the connection between Israel in the Sinai and the legacy of Hamas.
Also, these covert actions involving Syria, Egypt, and Iraq seem tied to exercising a locus of control over petrol resources.
Before I expound, please keep these two main ideas above in mind.
I would like to direct your attention to Safe for Democracy: The Secret Wars of the CIA (Archipelago, pgs. 162-165).
To me, it seems clear. Egypt's President, Gamal Abdel Nasser seemed intent on pushing pan-Arab and nationalist policies. What do I think took place beneath the veneer of day-to-day business as usual? Does Nasser's actions come across as rational to you?
In 1953, the CIA offered Nasser a $3 million bribe for "terminal control" of the canal zone base.
Or, in other words, to join a proposed Middle East Defense Organization. Nasser took the bribe but refused to follow through on the deal.
The plain fact that Nasser may have been open to bribery indicates that something seemingly uncouth may have be transpiring.
Meanwhile in Syria, the covert activities of the United States were also at work, destabilizing the existing order. By 1955, the Syrian leader Adnan al-Malki was assassinated. The Syrian public linked it to the US and gravitated toward Nasser in Egypt. It had a galvanizing effect, in other words, which I believe was the intended effect. This covert activities continued.
In September 1955, Nasser purchased arms from the Soviet Union through Czechoslovakia. This seemingly irrational, self-destructive activity continued with the nationalization of the Suez canal zone.
Records indicate that the CIA's Cairo station chief James Eichelberger was seemingly caught off-guard, with no "advance notice." (He was probably ignorant of something going on at a higher level in the NSC). Britain's response was disgust. Indications are that France spun the view of Nasser as being cahoots with revolutionaries they were contending with in Algeria, as their colonial ambitions were on the decline.
Israelis were enlisted in a plan to exercise influence in the Suez region.
The Israelis invade the Suez on October 29, 1956.
The idea here seems to be that then the British and French would then intervene, posing as "neutral" arbiters in the conflict.
They did so, two days later.
Some details are disputed in the book Safe for Democracy: Secret Wars of the CIA.
On September 12, 1956, the Paramount Committee was created to track developments in the Suez region in full time. I believe that this committee's collected surveillance would serve as insulation (a "spin buffer") against a level of US complicity in these actions.
"Later, the U-2's by chance captured the very moment of the British bombing of Egyptian airfields."
Sure.
The text continues "the war began with the Israeli attack on October 29, with the Anglo-French intervention a few days later. Equipped with the CIA's intelligence, Eisenhower felt obliged to veto the Anglo-French resolution at the UN Security Council that would have given legal justification for the intervention."
"Compelled?"
In other words, at that point, so far so good.
The British, French, and Israelis would then withdraw their occupation of the Suez, but, in my opinion, the foundation (or origins) of Hamas in the Suez was set up at this point in time.
As stated previously, the Israelis' attacked on October 29. The Paramount Committee was founded on September 12. To me, it seems that the idea was to blame the Brits (accusing them of manipulating the CIA. I don't believe this.) They accused them publicly of blatant colonialist ambitions. (I read a formation of a new order, or the Brits and French "letting go," so to speak.)
The (intended in my opinion) result in Syria was a link in the minds of the Druze tribesmen of the activies in Egypt with the events on the ground in Syria. They had to move ahead with the plans, due to such short notice. (One Syrian operative had already been paid $65,000 by us agents.)
With this priming of the atmosphere on the ground in Syria, new, continuous action was required.
The next step was Operation Wappen. This involved the CIA in Beirut, Lebanon.
They worked with the SIS (later MI6), plus Iraqi and Jordanian intelligence as well.
They engaged with the Syrian Security, by "suborning the commander of the Syrian armor school."The idea was to have him position his tanks around Damascus in a revolt effort.
Howard Stone relied on his deputy Arthur Close as well as Frank Jetton.
$3 million dollars exchanged hands, but Syria security turned around, handed in the money they had received, and exposed the subversive elements. Stone and Jetton were subsequently exposed in the Syrian press, and they were expelled from the country.
In August 26, 1957, Time Magazine referred to it as "Soviet Propaganda." I think it was an intentional failure. (Syria later became a Soviet client state, with the naval base being built in 1971. Soviet/Russian involvement with the al-Assad family dates back to this time.)
As stated earlier, the CIA was also active in Iraq, for reasons stated above.
In April, 1959, an NSC interagency group (under the guise of anti-Communism) was created.
Eisenhower endorsed an assassination attempt on Abdul Karim Qasim. A junior officer in the Iraqi government, Saddam Hussein, was involved. Regardless of the exact arrangements, or route of involvement, a Ba'ath activist was desired for such a role as this.
"More conspiratorial views hold that Saddam took payments from an Egyptian attache', or that his CIA contact, an Iraqi dentist, had parallel ties to the Egyptians. Unlike the 1958 coup, which took the CIA by surprise, the agency knew of the attempted assassination beforehand. Saddam, who failed, fled to Egypt and returned years later. By one account, it would only be in Egypt that Saddam got in touch with the CIA. Collusion reached everywhere. Iraqi exiles in Beirut bragged of their CIA connections- one told anyone who would listen that he had Allen Dulles's private telephone number. Other evidence suggests the CIA again took measures to incapacitate or eliminate Qasim in 1960, and that it was involved in the coup that overthrew him in 1963. James Critchfield has been cited as making the initial recruitments for the 1963 coup. A senior Iraqi official, in the successor government openly averred, "We came to power on a CIA train."
While the US has been engaging with the myth of the "moderate Syrian rebels," it appears quite clear that additional measures will have to be taken in order to get rid of the Islamic State.
This much is a given and quite obvious.
What also appears obvious is the continued need for the US to work with the allies we may have at hand going into the future, although on a renewed, fresh basis. One that is fit for the 21st century and the world as we now see it, as the world evolves and changes on a daily, hourly, or even minute-by minute basis.
These responsibilities are not to be taken lightly, and I certainly don't.
I'll try not to work so hard.

Faire Attention.
Sometimes, it's cut and dry.
Sometimes, lines can be blurred.
Difference without distinction?
No.
Ask yourself, when exactly does sharing turn into outright theft?
Maybe we can figure this out together.
(It's time to pay attention.)
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here.
Wolves and a sheep deciding on what's for dinner?
Weights and measures.
(Take your finger off of the scale.)
Haste, waste, mistake.
Spinning out of control.
(Bathing in dish soap.)
Truth and lies.
Justice delayed, justice denied.

Dyslexia.
Inhale, digest, re-assess.
Lessons of redemption taught during recess.
This land will be called my home forever.
When accepting your calling, forget about "It's better late than never."
(There's no such thing.)
With a bible in one hand, and a bloody mouse in another.
I've learned a lot that I failed to realize while I was much younger.
(Irregardless of your personal beliefs,
there's a time and place for everything.)
When bullets start flying, and martyrs start dying.
There are certain things that need some memorizing.
"Cleaning your bible and quoting your rifle."
Your reaction to truth: possibly dyspeptic.

One Day.
One day I arrived at the realization that my life had a purpose and meaning.
Click, drag, drop, clear.
Some things should be avoided like the plague.
Some things, like the plague, are unavoidable.
Rolled-up fire and Bombay Sapphire.
Guitar, bass, and a lyre.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Inhale, exhale.
"Is this thing on?"
Deus ex machina.
Click, drag, drop, clear.
