Book of Daniel
Dan 11:29 "At the appointed time he (Northern king) shall return and go toward the south; but it shall not be like the former or the latter."
In Daniel 11, after the death of Alexander the Great, General Seleucus, the king of the North (former Persian Empire) and General Ptolemy, the king of the South (Israel and Egypt) were constantly at war.
However, the final or last major war before Rapture, can only be in the end time. This end time war will be at the appointed time, when the king of the South (Israel/Egypt/allies) attacks Iran (Persia) bringing in World War 3.
During all the warfare between the Northern and Southern kings, there was no outsider involved. But for this final End-time War when Iran (the Northern king) attacks (Israel and its allies) the Southern king, an intruder will be involved.
Dan 11:27b "...for the end will still be at the appointed time."
Present King of the North
The present king of the North is the 84 year old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He is Iran's spiritual leader and highest authority - he has the final say over all government matters in the country.
Shi'ite Muslims set up a formal clergy system, with religious leaders called 'imams', who were descendants of Muhammad and whom the Shi'ites consider to be the sole interpreters of Islamic theology. The head imam is given the title of Ayatollah.
Ayatollah's Warnings
Ayatollah Ali is constantly warning the US that if they or Israel attacks any of its nuclear facilities, he will send his full arsenal to wipe out Israel and all US military bases in the Middle East.
With his strong faith that the Mahdi (their saviour) would appear soon, Ayatollah Ali sends his limited, outdated and inferior arsenal of weaponary to attack the invincible US fleets knowing very well that it will be suicidal.
Ships from Chittim
Dan 11:30 For ships from Chittim (Western nations) shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage. "So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant.
Meaning of Chittim
Kittim or Chittim in Hebrew means *the land west of Israel or Western nations*
New Allies Prophesied
As soon as Iran attacks the Southern king (Israel), the ships from the West will help Israel and attack Iran. The new allies of Israel was prophesied 2,500 years ago to be the West.
Who represents the West?
The West comprises the rich but depraved former Christian nations led by US. This includes US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. At times, the West refers only to the US.
Ship from the West
The West (US, Italy, UK and Australia) has stationed ships in the East Mediterranean, Red Sea, Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea to surround Iran.
US has stationed the Carrier fleet in East Mediterranean to protect Israel from any military attack. It has also stationed the 5th and 6th Carrier fleets in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea ready to attack Iran when called upon. All these Carrier fleets are fully armed with sophisticated weaponry and WMD.
For ships from Chittim shall come against him;
As soon as Iran and its allies send their full military might to attack Israel, warships from the West (Chittim) stationed in the Arabian Sea or Persian Gulf will immediately send their fighter jets, bombers and missiles to help Israel annihilate Iran's military bases and nuclear facilities and arsenal sites.
This will be the Prelude to World War 3
