1993—1999
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
Who were “THOSE OF UNDERSTANDING” in 1993? It was the Students of THE SEVEN SEALS! They had “THE PRESENT TRUTH” of their generation!
And they instructed many. And what happened on February 28th, 1993? They fell, by SWORD…wait a minute! THERE WAS NO SWORD!
Hmmm was there, or wasn’t there? What was the common class weapon of every soldier in Daniel’s Days?
Well you had archers, and Spear soldiers, but every soldier did not have those weapons…what was one weapon EVERY SOLDIER HAD?
A SWORD! And by comparison, in our time, what is the modern equivalent, one weapon every soldier has?
A GUN!
So yes, On February 28th, 1993 in the initial ATF Siege at Mt. Carmel, some inside Mt. Carmel fell to the MODERN EQIVUALENT of “THE SWORD”…to gunfire. And what happened over the next 51 days?
There was a STANDOFF wasn’t there? And at the end of that standoff, what happened to most inside Mt. Carmel?
They fell by FLAME!
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
and what happened to those who survived? Some went to Prison! And some, not all who went to prison, lost their faith, they “FELL” by Captivity.
And some were offered “SPOIL” to turn their backs on the truth! I don’t know of any who did, but at the 2002 Mt. Carmel Memorial, Catherine Matteson spoke and said she had experienced financial hardships since 1993, as did most Survivors of that Tragedy who stayed in Waco. It is still difficult for some of them to find decent jobs. And she had been told a thing, “so they wanted me to turn my back on the truth, and they told me, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS CALL! And I can have all the money I want!” She spoke this publicly from the podium at the New Mt. Carmel Chapel on 4-19-2002.

1998
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
And others similiarly lost their faith by those who persecuted them and sought to “SPOIL” them, as in LOOT their treasure, “THE TRUTH”, to use it to their own ends and agenda! And they were “HOLPEN”…”HELPED WITH A LITTLE HELP!” as some came to the varied survivors of the Waco tragedy to seek the truth, and in such offered help as they could. And in 1999, Alex Jones and others organized with local area churches and builders who came together and BUILT a new chapel on the site where the former burned to the ground for use by those SURVIVING STUDENTS OF DAVID KORESH.
And many cleaved unto them by Flatteries to “establish the vision for themselves” as stated earlier in Daniel chapter 11. Such is seen in the current timeframe with Charles Pace who approached by Flatteries in asking use of the Mt. Carmel Chapel, then in a succession of events, basically took over, and pressured those surviving Students of David Koresh who would not forsake their faith in the Truth David taught them by The Word of God, he drove those people OUT!
And some of these fell into worldiliness, some into apostasy, some rejecting David’s Teachings altogether to lift up their own…but this was PROPHECIED that they would do such, and there was a reason for such! Read on:
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
Why was it prophecied some of those of Understanding would fall? Why do we hear reports of some falling into drunkenness, some forsaking their faith altogether to embrace Buddhism, others just getting cold and indifferent..while a select few hold on to their faith? WHY were not all, but “SOME” of those of Understanding prophesied to “FALL?” Because, they needed to be tried, purged, for the overall purpose of their redemption…”TO MAKE THEM WHITE!” Their salvation was covered by FAITH a long time ago! It is their Understanding that is being tried, purging them, preparing them to put on their white garmets! But they have to be shown some things first!
2008 to 2010
And so this brought us to the New Millenium! How so? Well, note that the timeframe was stated that some would fall to captivity, MANY DAYS!
It was 15 years before “ALL” the prisoners were released from their prison sentences that were handed out in 1995! 17 years after the event of WACO, Texas!
SO, then, who in that timeframe, with regards to “THE USA”…the MODERN “ASSYRIAN” was it’s KING? Who was the MODERN KING OF THE NORTH? Well there were two in that year, George W. Bush, and Barak Obama!
AND by such, as applying the passage of DANIEL chapter 11 to the USA in that timeframe, we must in applying to a role, the KING OF THE SOUTH, consider one that would be the PRIMARY ENEMY known to the world in regards to this earthly Modern KING OF THE NORTH! And that, would be Al Quieda.
