Iraq, The False Prophet and Missiles
Stephen Pidgeon who is the translator and editor of the Eth Cepher Bible has apparently discovered that the prophecy in Zechariah 5 refers to nuclear missiles being launched from the land of Shinar also known as the land of Babylon which is modern day Iraq.
We recommend you read his thought provoking article titled A Woman in a Basket? before proceeding. We also highly recommend you watch the video included at the end of his article which can be accessed by clicking here.
Below is an image summarizing the content of the article and video by Stephen Pidgeon.
If the “fire” which may refer to ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons mentioned in Zechariah 5 happens to be connected with the “fire” that the beast that rises out of the earth causes to come down from heaven in the sight of men in Revelation 13:11-14, an interesting picture emerges.
We know from Revelation 19:20 that the second beast who performs the “miracle” of causing fire to come down from heaven is called “the false prophet.”
This means that the second beast is a human being who is a religious leader or cleric. The first beast is a geopolitical empire comprised of 10 nations/kings.
We have several articles on this blog in which we show the beast empire is a geopolitical and military alliance between Middle Eastern Islamic nations that surround Israel, particularly the nations of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon as the nations that form the final kingdom of the north mentioned in Daniel 11.
It is our personal belief that the false prophet and the 11th little horn who rises after the first 10 horns in Daniel 7 are one and the same.
This basically means that the false prophet of Revelation is the Antichrist himself who becomes the religious and political leader of the empire of 10 nations.
We are told that he exercises the power of the first beast and that power is political and military as the beast empire wages war and is composed of ten political kings.
We are told in Daniel 11:36-39 that the Antichrist who is the final king of the kingdom of the north geographically located in the region of the ancient Seleucid empire will promote a deity or god of fortresses and will wage war as he promotes his god and religion.
This in and of itself reveals that he is a fanatical religious leader and cleric, not just your average politician. It is our belief he will be a Muslim cleric who is also a militia/military leader and who is heavily involved in politics.
Revelation 13 says that he causes fire to come down from heaven in the sight of men and exercises the power of the first political/military beast which wages war against Israel in the end times.
In that context, causing fire to come down from heaven in modern terms means that he is waging some type of war that is capable of causing damage by fire from the sky.
This may have looked like a miracle to the first century writer and readers of Revelation but it is normal to the modern reader.
Rockets and missiles are no miracle to us in the twenty first century but could have easily been seen as a great sign, miracle or wonder to the writer of Revelation since swords, spears and shields were all the weapons of war available at that time.
It is interesting to note that the geographic area where the “fire” of ballistic or nuclear missiles in Zechariah 5 will be housed is the land of Shinar.
That is the land of Assyria and Babylon according to Genesis 10:8-11 and is what we know today as modern Iraq. We have also extensively written that the Antichrist will rise in Iraq as the “Assyrian” and the “king of Babylon” who is given power to destroy wonderfully the mighty and the holy people (Israel) according to Daniel 8:23-25.
By now you must have already made the connection.
The second beast/false prophet is the Antichrist himself rising in the land of Iraq who will cause fire to come down from heaven as he launches nuclear missiles from his military base in the land of Shinar and Babylon known today as Iraq.
At least that is what we believe and it is what we have written in our book which goes by the same name of this blog and it can be purchased by clicking here.
The US led invasion of Iraq in 2003 which supposedly took place in order to find weapons of mass destruction happened a bit too early. That reality still awaits fulfillment under the Antichrist/false prophet.
