Sabbath STUDY: ”THIRSTY?”…
February 2, 2013
Notes on US/LIBYAN Relations and other Mid Eastern events from December 2010 to May 2011 and to our Present timeframe February 2013.
Sabbath, February 2, 2013
The Spirit of the LORD moved upon me last night. This study began as a thing I thought would be composed as a brief letter in at most an hour or so. I began working on it at about Midnight or so, and continued working for the next 14 or 15 hours non stop. While nearly complete at that point, I had to pause the posting of this study, due that the Internet was down today at our home, so while composed this Recent Sabbath, now passed as it is at current, 8:32 pm CST on February 2, 2013, It will be placed soon on the Boardhost page “The Message and Visions of Steven Benjamin.”
In this study we hope the reader to have an open heart, to be blessed to see clearly through a study of past events in light of the scriptures, our present timeframe.
Seeing then clearly the past and the present tense, we hope by realization of our present condition to portend the future, to KNOW our role, to see more clearly the importance of our actions in the affairs of our loved ones, of our adversaries, even moreso, that criteria by which The Lord himself judges NATIONS and KINGS…the manner in which we treat the sojourning Stranger in our Midsts!!
We are going this Sabbath as we read through, see our present condition in light of the past 2 years as seen in Scripture from Daniel and Nahum, look to our present condition from the same, and from the conclusion seen by such, our very near future plight.
Later, either in this Study, or a continuation of it, we will look at the same position of the last 2 years, to our present condition, to our future entry, by Harmonizing scripture from Revelation to Ecclesiastes, and from both, then harmonize those to Nahum and Daniel.
…THAT IS, we will see these things, “IF” we truly POSSESS…”LIVING WATERS!”
We start by Addressing that as 3 groups of “THOSE PAYING ATTENTION” can be seen in application to world events of the last 80 years in the book of Nahum, Those who were under Brother Houteff to Brother Roden, those Under Brother Roden to David Koresh, and this CURRENT Generation…and as these 3 groups can be see to have witnessed both MACRO and MICRO fulfillments of The Book of Nahum playing out in a Modern Replay; So then likewise, these same 3 groups can be seen to have witnessed over the last 70 years, participating in world events that illustrate Daniel chapter 11 coming to pass!
1980-1992 THE MACRO application
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
The United States became strong with Afghanistan Freedom Fighters in the Afghanistan/Russian War (1979-1989) by giving billions of dollars in support.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
THE GULF WAR with IRAQ fulfilled these two passages. The Modern earthly “King of the North”, the USA, went to war with the “ISLAMIC” Nation of Iraq! Sadaam Hussein, who proclaimed himself to be the reincarnation, or return of “NEBUDCHUDNEZZAR”, to such point he even rebuilt an exact replica of the Ancient Temple Babylon upon the actual ruins of the former!
Historically, while Applications of the THE KING OF THE NORTH prophecies have referenced THE ASSYRIAN Kingdom, whose capitol was Nineveh. Babylon was both a city south of Nineveh, and later a KINGDOM. It was started as a prison colony. And The KING OF THE SOUTH prophecies historically then have been applied to “BABYLON” when discussed by Scholars. So by presenting himself as a modern day “Nebudchudnezzar,” Sadaam Hussein literally played out the role of “THE KING OF THE SOUTH.” His armies would stand to do battle with a great and mighty army, but their hearts quickly faltered and became as Women and they gave themselves up by the droves! Saddaam Hussein was driven out of Kuwait. This brings us into the MACRO application of this passage of Daniel 11 to our CURRENT generation.
From this point we will discuss greatly the years from 1993 to current position, February 2013 in both macro and Micro view, the Macro, the events of the World at large.
Now much of this Chapter in the MICRO takes us back to the 1930s. And as such, I will reference earlier portions of this chapter in the Micro at this time for sake of application of this chapter to our current timeframe from 1993 to present.
For sake of an actual starting position, we start with the public proclamations that were made in September 2010, and in December 2010 on “The Mt. Carmel Discussion Board” in which it was proclaimed that we were then currently at the threshold of Daniel 11:39-43 being fulfilled. In such we place now in the role of “THE KING OF THE NORTH”…the earthly Modern “King of the North”…the USA.
And in the role of THE EARTHLY Modern King of the South, Islamic group, “Al Quieda” and particularly it’s founder, Osama bin Laden.”
consider verse 11 of this chapter again, and then we pick back up at noting vs 24, and 25, are applicable to The Gulf War, and the US presence in Jordan.
11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
"And the king of the south shall be moved with choler"
1990
Kuwait, Osama Bin Laden, angry with King Foud of Kuwait for refusing his help and offer to use his Rebel Fighters from the 1979-1989 Afghanistan-Russian War.
