Daniel 11: Trump Not the Last President

Part 4: Secret Alliance Made, Secret Alliance Broken

Verse 6

The Three Layers of History

As already noted in Part 3, Daniel 11 will be repeated throughout different histories:

We have no time to lose. Troublous times are before us. The world is stirred with the spirit of war. Soon the scenes of trouble spoken of in the prophecies will take place. The prophecy in the eleventh of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Much of the history that has taken place in fulfillment of this prophecy will be repeated. (13MR 394).

She’s saying that the history of Daniel 11 will be repeated in different histories. That is, first in ancient history for Millerites, then in SDA history from 1798 to 1989, and finally, in our history from 1989 on (Pippenger, Rescue, CA).

It was also discussed in Part 3 that Daniel 11:5-10 cover these three layers of history.

The three different histories for verse 5 were already presented in Part 3. The three layers of

history for verse 6 is presented here.

And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughterof the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times (KJV, Daniel 11:6).

The First Layer: “Millerite History”

Uriah Smith provides a description of the “Millerite” history for Daniel 11:6:

There were frequent wars between the kings of Egypt and of Syria. Especially wasthis the case with Ptolemy Philadelphus, the second king of Egypt, and Antiochus Theos, third king of Syria. They at length agreed to make peace upon condition that Antiochus should put away his former wife, Laodice, and her two sons, and should marry Berenice, the daughter of Ptolemy Philadelphus. Ptolemy accordingly brought his daughter to Antiochus, bestowing with her an immense dowry.

2

"But she shall not retain the power of the arm;" that is, her interest and power withAntiochus. So it proved; for shortly afterward, Antiochus brought back to thecourt his former wife Laodice and her children. Then says the prophecy, "Neithershall he [Antiochus] stand, nor his arm," or posterity. Laodice, being restored tofavor and power, feared lest in the fickleness of his temper Antiochus should againdisgrace her by recalling Berenice. Concluding that nothing short of his deathwould be an effectual safeguard against such a contingency, she caused him to bepoisoned shortly afterward. Neither did his children by Berenice succeed him inthe kingdom, for Laodice so managed affairs as to obtain the throne for her eldestson Seleucus Callinicus.

"But she [Berenice] shall be given up." Laodice, not content with poisoning herhusband Antiochus, caused Berenice and her infant son to be murdered. "Theythat brought her." All of her Egyptian women and attendants, in endeavoring todefend her, were slain with her. "He that begat her," margin, "whom she broughtforth," that is, her son, who was murdered at the same time by order of Laodice."He that strengthened her in these times," was doubtless her husband, Antiochus,or those who took her part and defended her (237).

From Wikipedia:

Berenice … also called Berenice Phernophorus ("Dowry Bearer") or BereniceSyra, was the daughter of Ptolemy II Philadelphus of his first wife Arsinoe I ofEgypt.

Around 252 BC, following the peace agreement of 253 BC between Antiochus and Ptolemy to end the Second Syrian War, she married the Seleucid monarch Antiochus II Theos, who divorced his wife Laodice I and transferred the succession to Berenice's children.

In 246 BC, when Ptolemy died, Antiochus II took up again with his first wife, Laodice. Antiochus died shortly thereafter, many suspect from poisoning. Queen Berenice claimed the regency for her infant son Antiochus. However, she and her son were both killed by Laodice. Berenice's brother, Ptolemy III Euergetes, succeeded their father and set about to avenge his sister's murder by invading Syria and having Laodice killed. This is also mentioned in the Book of Daniel 11:6 (“Berenice [Seleucid queen]”).

The Second Layer: “Seventh-day Adventist History”

In December 2016, the second layer of history (“SDA” history) was presented by students

of prophecy in Wales. It was recognized that the treaty between Antiochus and Ptolemy also

parallels Napoleon’s treaty with the papacy, the Treaty of Tolentino. From Wikipedia:

The Treaty of Tolentino was a peace treaty between Revolutionary France and the Papal States, signed on 19 February 1797 and imposing terms of surrender on the Papal side. The signatories for France were the French Directory's Ambassador to

3

the Holy See, François Cacault, and the rising General Napoleon Bonaparte and opposite them four representatives of Pius VI's Curia.

It was part of the events following the invasion of Italy in the early stages of the French Revolutionary Wars. Having defeated the Austrians at the Battle of Mantua, at the Arcola Bridge and in the Battle of Rivoli, Napoleon had no more enemies in northern Italy and was able to devote himself to the Papal States. Following nine months of negotiations between France and the Papal States, in February 1797 9,000 French soldiers invaded the Papal Romagna Region, leaving the Pope no choice but to accept the French terms.

The treaty added 15 million livre to the indemnity of 21 million extracted from thePapal States at the preceding armistice signed at Bologna—36 million in all.

In addition, the papal city of Avignon and its territory, the Comtat Venaissin, which had been occupied by French forces at an early stage of the Revolution, were formally ceded to France - putting a definite end to half a millennium of Papal rule.

The Romagna region - as noted, already invaded by the French - was also ceded by the Papal States and included in the newly created Cisalpine Republic.

The treaty also formalized the confiscation of artistic treasures from the Vatican. Over a hundred paintings and other works of art were to go to the Louvre in Paris. The French commissioners reserved the right to enter any building, public, religious or private, to make their choice and assessment of what was to be taken to France. This part of the treaty was extended to apply to all of Italy in 1798 by treaties with other Italian states.

Other conditions imposed on the Papal States included a compensation to the family of the journalist Hugh de Basseville, killed by a crowd in Rome for having allegedly "insulted the Pope", and giving consent to the stationing of French troops in Ancona until the end of the war (“Treaty of Tolentino”).

In 1796 French Republican troops under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Italy and defeated the papal troops. The French occupied Ancona and Loreto. Pius VI sued for peace which was granted at Tolentino on 19 February 1797; but on 28 December 1797, in a riot blamed by papal forces on some Italian and French revolutionists, the popular brigadier-general Mathurin-Léonard Duphot, who had gone to Rome with Joseph Bonaparte as part of the French embassy, was killed and a new pretext was furnished for invasion.

General Berthier marched to Rome, entered it unopposed on 10 February 1798, and, proclaiming a Roman Republic, demanded of the pope the renunciation of histemporal authority.

Upon his refusal he was taken prisoner, and on 20 February was escorted from theVatican to Siena, and thence to the Certosa near Florence (“Pope Pius VI”).

Treaty of Tolentino

From the table above, it can be seen that a short period exists between the time that a

peace alliance is made and when the alliance is broken. Daniel 11:6 refers to the beginning of

this period as, “in the end of years”, and the end of this period as, “in these times”. Therefore,

the “end of years” must refer to the time when the alliance is made and confirmed, and “in these

times” must refer to the time when the alliance is violated and broken. In each history, it is the

king of the South that approaches the king of the North with a proposal of an alliance, or sets the

terms for the peace treaty.

The second layer of history (“SDA” history) is currently taught in the Latter Rain

Movement to be part of the opening of the seventh seal. This is true, but the history of the Treaty

of Tolentino is past, and the third “present truth” layer of history is missing. Mrs. White wrote

the statement regarding the repetition of history of Daniel 11 (13 MR, 394) after 1798. Jeff

Pippenger, referencing this particular statement from Mrs. White, points to three different

5

histories, with the last being after 1989. Neither of the first two layers of history that is currently

taught within this movement occurs after these years. Therefore, there should be a third layer

representing “present truth” history that occurs after 1798 and 1989 that is symbolized by the

characteristics of the first two layers of history.

The “End of Years” is the First Time of the End (45th President, Trump)

And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughterof the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times (KJV, Daniel 11:6).

Daniel 11:6-9 is a repetition and enlargement of Daniel 11:1-5. The elements outlined in

verses 1-5 are repeated several times throughout Daniel 11.

“Revelation is a sealed book, but it is also an opened book. It records marvelous events that are to take place in the last days of this earth’s history. The teachings of this book are definite, not mystical and unintelligible. In it the same line of prophecy is taken up as in Daniel. Some prophecies God has repeated, thus showing that importance must be given to them. The Lord does not repeat things that are of no great consequence.”—Manuscript 107, 1897, pp. 1, 2. (“Search the Scriptures,” no date) (9MR 7).

The theme of the transition from the 45th president to the 46th president is repeated and

enlarged upon in the first half of Daniel 11. Therefore, it must be of significant importance and

consequence that God’s people in the Latter Rain Movement understand this correctly. As

presented in Part 1, the Time of the End pattern found throughout Daniel 11 includes an anchor

Time of the End followed by two additional Times of the End which are associated with one

another (first Time of the End, second Time of the End). The characteristics of the Times of the

End are illustrated below:

It was also noted in Part 1, that according to pioneer understanding, “year” and “time”

can be interchanged. So it was determined that the phrase, “end of years”, can also mean, “times

of the end”, which is associated with the other phrase in verse 6 relating to time, “in these times”.

It was then concluded that these two phrases (“in the end of years”, “in these times”) refer to the

last two Times of the End in the pattern. The first Time of the End is represented in Millerite

history by the 45th year, 1843, and the second Time of the End is represented by the 46th year,

1844. For “present truth” history, this parallels the first Time of the End at the 45th president, and

the second Time of the End at the 46th president. It is noted from this understanding of the Times

of the End pattern that the phrase that begins Daniel 11:6, “in the end of years”, marks the first

Time of the End, Trump’s presidency:

The “End of Years” is also the “End of the Days” (45th President, Trump)

It is a foundational teaching within the Seventh-day Adventist Church, that a “day” in

Bible prophecy can also be considered to be a “year” (Numbers 14:34, Ezekiel 4:6). Therefore,

it is further proposed that the phrase, “end of years”, can also be interchangeable with the phrase,

“end of the days”. Just as the phrase, “end of years”, is only found in Daniel, the phrase, “end of

the days”, is also only found in Daniel:

Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then theprince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar (KJV, Daniel 1:18).

And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, andmine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation (KJV, Daniel 4:34).

These two verses reveal that the “end of the days” is the end of a certain period of time

when a final test occurs to determine the individual’s preparation or fitness, and also when the

understanding of prophecies “returns” or re-opens. So when verse 6 begins with the phrase, “in

8

the end of years”, it is referring to a Time of the End waymark that also includes these two

characteristics. It is further suggested that the passing or failing of the final test of preparation is

dependent upon how the re-opening of the prophecies of Daniel 11 is received.

There is one other verse in Daniel that includes the phrase, “end of the days”. It is found

in Daniel 12:13, in connection with the 1290 and 1335 time prophecies:

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days (KJV, Daniel 12:11-13).

The 1290 time prophecy ended in 1798. The 1335 time prophecy ended in 1843. Both

these prophecies are associated with the “end of the days”, and both ended at a Time of the End

waymark. 1798 is a Time of the End (see Great Controversy, pp. 355, 356). 1843 is also a Time

of the End. On the 1843 chart, the 1290 and 1335 prophecies are illustrated:

9

When 1290 is subtracted from 1335, it results in 45. Forty-five years from 1798 (when

the 1290 prophecy ended) is 1843 (when the 1335 prophecy ended). The 1335 is the only time

prophecy that ends in 1843 that is not a mistake. The other two time prophecies (2520, 2300)

that were first believed to end in 1843 had to be corrected to 1844 on the 1850 chart. It can also

be seen from the 1843 chart that next to the number 45 is written, “Time of the End”. When the

Millerites originally believed that Jesus would return in 1843, they believed that this was the

“time of the end” of the 2300 day prophecy.

Since “days” is interchangeable with “years” in prophetic understanding, the “end of the

days” of Daniel 12:13 is also the “end of years” of Daniel 11:6. Therefore, the number “45”

connected with the “end of the days” of Daniel 12:13 should also be connected with the “end of

years” of Daniel 11:6. For Millerite history, the number “45” is connected with 1843. For

“present truth” history, the number “45” is connected with the 45th president, Trump. This is

another witness that the phrase, “in the end of years”, in Daniel 11:6 refers to the time of

Trump’s presidency.

10

The Third Layer: “Present Truth” History:

Based upon the evidence and logic presented above, the phrase, “in the end of years”, that

opens Daniel 11:6, places the beginning of the narrative at the 45th presidency. This

understanding then makes obvious the identity of the king of the North in verse 6. Just as the

first series of the “repeat and enlarge” sequence beginning at Daniel 11:1 starts with a Time of

the End waymark to identify the 45th president, the second series that begins at verse 6 also starts

with a Time of the End waymark to identify this same president: Trump.

The king of the South in Daniel 11:11 is Russia when it attacks the United States at

Midnight. Since the narrative of Daniel 11 repeats and enlarges, it is expected that verse 11 is

part of a “repeat and enlarge” sequence of the previous series of verses. Therefore, the king of

the South in Daniel 11:11 should also be the same king of the South in Daniel 11:6: Vladimir

Putin of Russia. A relationship between Trump and Russia is first introduced in Daniel 11:2:

“and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia”. This

verse shows that Trump, through personal actions affected by his power of wealth, wakes up the

United States and the world against Russia.

Daniel 11:6 enlarges upon verse 2 and reveals the nature of the relationship: “And in the

end of years they shall join themselves together”. The marginal reference for the phrase, “join

themselves together”, is “associate themselves”. This is represented by the alliance made

between Ptolemy and Antiochus through Berenice, and the Treaty of Tolentino made between

Napoleon and the papacy. These two histories characterize the relationship between Putin and

Trump, and provide the reason why Trump’s actions involving his power of wealth wake up

(“stir up”) the United States and the world toward Russia: because Trump and Putin “joined

themselves together” and made a secret alliance involving Trump’s power of wealth.

11

The first two layers of history provide clues to understand the third “present truth” layer.

In “Millerite” history, Ptolemy gave his daughter, Berenice, to Antiochus. Berenice represents an

alliance between the two kings. Antiochus accepted the proposed alliance by divorcing his

legitimate wife, Laodice, and marrying Berenice. Therefore, in “present truth” history, Putin

proposed an alliance with Trump, and the rejection of Laodice represents the rejection of a

“legitimate” individual connected with Trump. The characteristics of the Treaty of Tolentino in

“SDA” history should also reveal more information regarding the alliance made Putin and Trump

in “present truth” history.

The Alliance Between the King of the South and the King of the North

And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughterof the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times (KJV, Daniel 11:6).

The characteristics of the Treaty of Tolentino provide clues regarding the particular

alliance made between Putin and Trump. Therefore, the components of the Treaty of Tolentino

will be reviewed and applied to “present truth” history.

The King of the South Instigates an Alliance with the King of the North

The terms of the Treaty of Tolentino was established by Napoleon, the king of the South.

Therefore, in “present truth” history, the same occurred between Putin (king of the South) and

Trump (king of the North) in the establishment of their alliance. Dreazen writes:

… Putin’s wish list is clear. He wants the US to lift the sanctions imposed over its annexation of Crimea, give him a freer hand in Syria, continue to distance itself from NATO and Washington’s European allies, and — potentially above all else — allow his election interference to go unpunished.

12

Put a different way, an experienced and ruthless Russian leader is coming to a pivotal meeting with a clear plan and a clear agenda. An inexperienced and autocrat-loving American president isn’t planning to bring one of his own. That’s a recipe for serious trouble …

Trump is under enormous legal and political pressure because of the array of FBI, congressional, and Senate investigations into whether his campaign colluded with Russia. Trump denies any wrongdoing, but continues to add fuel to the scandal by refusing to take steps to punish Russia for its election meddling or to unequivocally accept the intelligence community’s conclusion that Moscow worked to help him win the White House.

Instead, Trump and his aides continue to baffle and infuriate even many Republicans by opposing new sanctions on Russia and publicly arguing that they see Russia as an ally in the fight against ISIS. (It isn’t; Moscow mainly bombs groups battling to oust Bashar al-Assad, a close Putin ally.) The Trump administration also hems and haws about its commitment to NATO, an institution Putin has been trying to weaken for decades.Earlier this week, the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency released a report detailing Putin’s belief that the US is trying to overthrow his government. …

This is the first time in two decades the DIA released a report like this to the public. It stopped once the Soviet Union fell in 1991 — and now the report is back. That’s a bad sign, as the Pentagon’s top intelligence agency feels the need topublish a report it used to release during the Cold War. …

Despite months of questions, Trump has only publicly called out Russia for its election meddling once, and even then it was halting and incomplete. …

A normal American president, given a chance to press Russia on the multitude of ways Moscow is trying to harm the US at home and abroad, would make sure he was finally briefed and prepared to confront Putin. Trump is inexplicably choosing a different path, and it’s an unforced error that could be risky not just forhis presidency, but for the national security of the US in the months and years to come.

From Wikipedia:

The United States Intelligence Community concluded with high confidence that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. A January 2017 assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) stated that Russian leadership preferred presidential candidate Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, and that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally ordered an "influence campaign" to harm Clinton's electoral chances and "undermine public faith in the US democratic process.

13

On October 7, 2016, the ODNI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) jointly stated that Russian intelligence services had hacked the servers of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the personal Google email account ofClinton campaign chairman John Podesta and forwarded their contents to WikiLeaks. Several cybersecurity firms stated that the cyberattacks were committed by hacker groups Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear associated with Russian intelligence. The January 2017 report added that Russian government also meddled in the elections by disseminating fake news promoted on social media. Russian officials have repeatedly denied involvement in any DNC hacks or leaks.

On October 31, U.S. President Barack Obama directly warned Putin to stop interfering or face "serious consequences". In December, he ordered a report on hacking efforts aimed at U.S. elections since 2008, while U.S. Senators called for a bipartisan investigation. President-elect Donald Trump initially rejected claims of foreign interference and said that Democrats were reacting to their election loss. On December 29, 2016, the U.S. expelled 35 Russian diplomats, denied access to two Russia-owned compounds, and broadened existing sanctions on Russian entities and individuals.

Several investigations about Russian influence on the election have been underway: a counter-intelligence investigation by the FBI, hearings by the Senate Intelligence Committee and the House Intelligence Committee and inquiries aboutpossible links and financial ties between the Kremlin and Trump associates, notably targeting Paul Manafort, Carter Page and Roger Stone. On May 9, 2017, Trump dismissed FBI Director James Comey, citing in part dissatisfaction with the ongoing suspicions of his presidency because of "this Russia thing". On May 17, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as Special Counsel to oversee the investigation.

In July 2017, it was revealed that Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner met Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya in June 2016, after Trump Jr. had been told by mutual acquaintance Rob Goldstone that she had incriminating information about Hillary Clinton that was "part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump." On July 9, 2017, Donald Trump Jr. said Veselnitskaya had "no meaningful information". She later denied having any such information or working for the Kremlin (“Russian Interference in the 2016 United States Elections”).

This week, The New York Times broke a story about Donald Trump Jr., the son ofthe president of the United States, meeting, in the midst of the 2016 campaign season, with an attorney for the Russian government for the purpose of acquiring potentially damaging information about former Secretary of State and then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. It was revealed that this meetingalso included Jared Kushner, son in law of the president, and Paul Manafort, Trump's then-campaign manager.

14

Many questions have arisen in connection to that story: Did the Trump campaign (or President Donald Trump himself) collude with the Russian government to interfere in an American presidential election through illegal means? Did the president's son-in-law intentionally lie about his contact with Russian agents? Were there Federal Elections Commission violations involved? How much contactdid members of the Trump campaign have with Russian agents during the campaign and leading up to the Inauguration?

Those questions will be probed and, presumably, answered in the course of the Justice Department investigation headed up by special counsel Robert Mueller. But one question remains unanswered and may not be in Meuller's purview. That is: Why? In particular, Republicans should be asking themselves this question: Why did Russian President Vladimir Putin so desperately want Trump to win?

Putin had to know the risks involved if it was discovered that his government had hacked emails, stolen information and had interfered with the elections in the United States. So he was willing to pay a very high price to ensure that the next president of the United States was Donald J. Trump. Why?

As a Republican coming of age in the 1980s, with Ronald Reagan as president, I learned to believe that we should be skeptical of the Soviet Union and Russia. I believed that Russia's interests were not necessarily American interests, that we should be suspicious of its motives in forging alliances with the U.S. because it didn't have a track record of defending liberty. When Reagan stood in front of the Brandenburg Gate on the Berlin Wall, which separated West Berlin from Soviet-controlled East Germany, and called out to the leader of the Soviet Union, "General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace ... Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," it gave me chills. And I believed that America, and Republicans specifically, had the fortitude to stand up to the Russians and call for freedom and liberty.

Since then, Republican presidential candidates like George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney have spoken of the need for a strong America as the best hope for the world to live in peace – and that Russia continued to be a threat to lasting peace. In fact, Romney, in one of the 2012 presidential debates against President Barack Obama, stated that Russia was "without question, our number one geopolitical foe." The Democrats (along with many in the media) mocked him and condemned him for that comment.

So when did the Russians decide that the Republican candidate winning the presidency was in their best interest? And why?

The Trump family and team does seem to have an unusual coziness with Russia, Russian business interests and Russian government representatives. Relationships and conversations that would give other operatives pause seem to be commonplace in Trump world. Since Election Day, there has been a daily drip,

15

drip, drip of news regarding Trump associates holding meetings with known Russian operatives. No one really knows the purpose or meaning of these contacts, and the answers to inquiries have been contradictory, conflicting and confusing.

Perhaps there exists a Trump/Russia relationship that isn't fully understood by the American public, and Putin simply wanted a friend in the White House. Some subscribe to the idea that this has little to do with Trump and more to do with Putin's disdain for Clinton. In 2011, Putin strongly condemned comments by Clinton calling Russia's parliamentary elections unfair. "We need to safeguard ourselves from this interference in our internal affairs," said Putin at the time.

Did Putin and the Russian government interfere in American elections on behalf of the Republican candidate simply to take revenge on Clinton and her hard-line approach to the Putin administration?

Another theory is the chaos theory. Chaos surrounded businessman Trump, candidate Trump and, so far, has surrounded President Trump. And chaos, in the country that has been the leader of the free world for the last century, is good newsfor a country that wants the world to be a little less free.

Did Putin interfere in American elections in order to throw America into chaos? I don't think that we know the answer to the question. But one thing seems clear: In 2016, Putin and the Russian government sought to play a role in the American election process, and it was their desire that Donald Trump would prevail.

As we search for answers to if, when and how the Russians interfered, and whether or not the Trump campaign colluded with them, it may be that there is something being missed by the Republican Party. For the party that led the effort to dismantle the Soviet Union, tear down the Berlin Wall and just five years ago believed that Russia was our number one geopolitical foe, perhaps the most important question is "why?"

Though a conclusion has not yet been reached by the United States’ Intelligence

community regarding the relationship between Trump and Russia, Daniel 11:6 reveals that an

alliance indeed occurred, with Putin reaching out to Trump with a proposition to seemingly

benefit Trump, but in the end, placing Russia in a position to successfully attack the United

States. Because Daniel 11:2 states that “all” will eventually be “stirred up” (wake up, open the

eyes) against Russia, this alliance was made secretly. But verse 6 also reveals that it will

eventually be exposed.

16

Daniel 11:40, which sets the foundation for the rest of Daniel 11, also reveals another

secret alliance at another Time of the End waymark, 1989. The alliance was between the United

States and the papacy to bring down communism in the Soviet Union. In this scenario, it could

also be shown that a king of the South (Reagan) reached out to the king of the North (papacy) to

make an alliance. The suggestion that Reagan can also represent a king of the South may seem

incorrect, for it is established within this movement that the king of the South in Daniel 11:40

represents atheism/communism (which is not controverted here). But in a sense, the United

States can also be considered a king of the South, as it is represented by Jerusalem (“glorious

land”); and Jerusalem is in Judah, the jurisdiction of the king of the South.

Daniel 11:23 and 27 reveal that another secret alliance between the United States and the

papacy will be made at Midnight after the attack from Russia. The king of the South (46th

president) will once again reach out to the king of the North (papacy) for help in retaliating

against the other king of the South (Russia). Verse 23 describes a league made between the Jews

and the Romans, with the Jews approaching the Romans for help against Syria. In the same

sense that Jerusalem (“glorious land”) is the United States in Daniel 11:40, the Jews also

represent the United States in Daniel 11:23, for the Jews were residents of Jerusalem (the

understanding of Daniel 11:23 and 27 will be addressed further in a separate document).

The suggestion that the United States can also represent the king of the South is based

upon the three histories of Daniel 11:5. In each of the histories, the king of the North conquered

three geographical areas to become the king of the North. For the papacy to become the

universal power, Russia, the United States, and the United Nations will have to be conquered.

Russia and the United Nations are already established as representing the king of the South.

Therefore, based upon the triple application of prophecy, if two of the geographical areas

17

conquered by the papacy are represented as a king of the South, then the third geographical area

(United States) can also be represented as a king of the South. So ultimately, the papacy (king of

the North) has to wipe out the king of the South (Russia, United States, United Nations) to

become the reigning universal power. In the history of Rome, Egypt (king of the South) was the

last region it conquered to become the world power. This not only symbolizes the conquering of

the United Nations by the papacy, but also the conquering of all three kings of the South.

As already mentioned, Daniel 11:40-45 is the foundation for understanding the rest of

Daniel 11. Within the history of Daniel 11:40, Reagan (one of the kings of the South) reached

out to the papacy (king of the North) to form a secret alliance. The 46th president (king of the

South) will again reach out to the papacy (king of the North) to form another secret alliance after

Midnight (Daniel 11:23, 27). In the very end, the United Nations (king of the South) will also

reach out to the papacy (king of the North) to form an alliance:

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority (KJV, Revelation 13:2).

In Daniel 11, this pattern of the king of the South reaching out to the king of the North to

form an alliance is mentioned for the very first time in verse 6. This and other patterns set forth

in this verse are repeated throughout the chapter with various alliances and unions, and provide

the key to understand them.

The Alliance is Made Because the King of the South’s Only Other Significant Enemy is the King of the North

When the Treaty of Tolentino was instigated, Napoleon had no other significant enemies

except the papacy. When Putin instigated a secret alliance with Trump, Russia’s main competitor

in its desire for world power was the United States. From CBS News:

“America is a great power – today probably the only superpower. We accept that,” the Russian president said at Russia’s main economic forum, according to the Reuters news agency. “We want to and are ready to work with the United States.”

From a Russian geopolitical site:

Russia and the United States are clearly engaged in great power competition in thecurrent international climate, although the extent of such competition, and whether or not it is surmountable, remains up for debate. The two countries have distinct national identities and perspectives on international relations, thereby presenting an obstacle to future long-term strategic cooperation. It is even possiblethat such divergent identities and perspectives may be inherently incompatible, and without any revolutionary changes therein, the two states may be doomed to aperpetual rivalry that could one day presuppose a serious crisis in bilateral affairs. An analysis of the state of Russia and the United States’ great power competition will reveal that its underlying nature in fact lies in the aforementioned

19

incompatibility of identities, and that a continuance of the current status quo will only lead to increasingly uncontrollable rivalry in all spheres.

The Alliance Involves Indebtedness to the King of the South by the King of the North

The Treaty of Tolentino involved a debt of money by the papacy to Napoleon. Daniel

11:2 refers to Trump’s wealth, and that he has a personal relationship with Russia that includes

his power of wealth. From Wikipedia:

Six federal agencies have also been investigating possible links and financial ties between the Kremlin and Trump's associates, including his son in law Jared Kushner and advisers Carter Page, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone (“Links Between Trump Associates and Russian Officials”).

LoBianco writes:

Senate Russia investigators have sent a request to the Treasury Department's criminal investigation division for any information related to President Donald Trump, his top officials and his campaign aides, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee told CNN Tuesday …

FinCEN is the federal agency that has been investigating allegations of foreign money-laundering through purchases of US real estate.

The news comes just a few days after the revelation that Senate investigators sent broad-based requests for documents to four key potential witnesses in their probe: former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former national security adviserMichael Flynn, former adviser Roger Stone and former foreign policy adviser Carter Page.

Since the 1980s, Trump and his family members have made numerous trips to Moscow in search of business opportunities, and they have relied on Russian investors to buy their properties around the world.

Hamburger et al. write:

“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” Trump’s son, Donald Jr., told a real estate conference in 2008, according to an account posted on the website of eTurboNews, a trade publication. “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

The dynamic illustrates the extent to which Trump’s worldview has been formed through the lens of commerce rather than the think tanks, government deliberations and international diplomatic conferences that typically shape the foreign policy positions of presidential candidates.

20

It also reflects Trump’s willingness to see world leaders through his own personal connections. In a Republican Party in which an ability to stand up to Putin has been seen as a test of toughness, Trump’s relationship with the Russian leader is instead one of mutual flattery. Putin said in December that Trump was a “colorful and talented” person, a compliment that Trump said at the time was an “honor.”

On the campaign trail, Trump has called for a new partnership with Moscow, overhauling NATO, the allied military force seen as the chief protector of pro-Western nations near Russia. And Trump has surrounded himself with a team of advisers who have had financial ties to Russia...

The coming together of Trump’s business and political agendas was evident during his 2013 Moscow trip, in which he was seeking deals at the same time he was starting to ponder a presidential run.

The Alliance Involves a Ceding of Territories to the King of the South by the King of the North

The Treaty of Tolentino included a formal ceding of territories to Napoleon by the

Vatican states. In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea. The UN, as well as then Secretary of State,

Hillary Clinton, strongly condemned this action. Trump, on the other hand, gives credence to the

annexation. From Wikipedia:

The Ukrainian territory of Crimea was annexed by the Russian Federation on 18 March 2014. Since then, the peninsula has been administered as two de facto Russian federal subjects—the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, which, until 2016, were grouped in the Crimean Federal District. The annexation was preceded by a military intervention by Russia in Crimea, which took place in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and was part of wider unrest acrosssouthern and eastern Ukraine.

Following a disputed Crimean referendum, held on 16 March 2014, in which separation was favoured by a large majority of voters according to official results, the UN resolution also "underscores that the referendum having no validity, cannot form the basis for any alteration of the status of [Crimea]." The resolution calls upon all States and international organizations not to recognize or to imply the recognition of Russia's annexation. In 2016, UN General Assembly reaffirmed non-recognition of the annexation and condemned "the temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine—the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol” …

Russian Federation opposes the "annexation" label, with Putin defending the referendum as complying with the principle of self-determination of peoples. In

21

July 2015, Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev said that Crimea had been fully integrated into Russia (“Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation”).

Below are articles reporting on Trump’s and H. Clinton’s reactions to the Crimea

annexation. Carpenter writes:

But Trump and a handful of other dissenters have triggered the wrath of the of the foreign-policy establishment by daring to suggest that Washington’s Russia policymay be unwise and that the two countries have important mutual interests. Most anti-Russian hawks are backing Hillary Clinton, and the implications of a Clinton victory are extremely ominous. When Russia annexed Crimea, Clinton compared Russian president Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler—a comparison so extreme that itdrew dissents even from some usual supporters. Yet there is no doubt that she would take a very hard line toward Moscow. Among other things, Clinton recommended that the United States impose a no-fly zone in Syria despite the riskthat it could mean shooting down Russian military aircraft that were operating at the request of the Syrian government. Anyone who is that reckless is not likely to retreat from confrontations in eastern Europe or other arenas. Indeed, she has already called for not only more financial assistance but more military aid to Ukraine.

Kumar writes:

Trump has said he would consider lifting the sanctions imposed against Russia forits annexation of Crimea, along with suggesting that he’d be open to recognizing Crimea as Russian territory. The White House already loosened financial sanctions against Russia’s powerful security agency that the Obama administration had imposed as punishment for Russia’s meddling in November’s presidential election and for Russia’ 2014 annexation of Crimea.

The Alliance Diminishes the King of the North’s World Power

The Treaty of Tolentino instigated by Napoleon drastically diminished the papacy’s

power over civil governments. The secret alliance made between Putin and Trump also

diminishes the United States’ world power. Kumar writes:

He hasn’t even been in office three months but half of the nation’s voters already think President Donald Trump has weakened the United States’ role in the world, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.

Since he was sworn into office in January, Trump has been criticized for a series of what some call foreign policy missteps: authorizing a raid in Yemen that left a Navy seal dead, blasting a deal that calls for the U.S. to accept 1,250 refugees from Australia and insulting German Chancellor Angela Merkel by refusing to shake her hand when they met at the White House.

22

And in January, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto canceled a meeting with Trump after the U.S. president insisted Mexico pay for a wall along the U.S. southern border.

Fifty-five percent of voters think Trump has weakened the U.S.’s role, which is anincrease from 52 percent in February …

Engelhardt writes:

At this point, there’s at least a chance that Donald Trump might preside over the most precipitous decline of a truly dominant power in history, one only recently considered at the height of its glory. It could prove to be a fall for the ages. Admittedly, that other superpower of the Cold War era, the Soviet Union, imploded in 1991, which was about the fastest way imaginable to leave the global stage. Still, despite the “evil empire” talk of that era, the USSR was always the secondary, the weaker of the two superpowers. It was never Rome, or Spain, or Great Britain.

As we watch, it seems almost possible to see President Trump, in real time, tweet by tweet, speech by speech, sword dance by sword dance, intervention by intervention, act by act, in the process of dismantling the system of global power—of “soft power,” in particular, and of alliances of every sort—by which the United States made its will felt, made itself a truly global hegemon. Whether his “America first” policies are aimed at creating a future order of autocrats, or petro-states, or are nothing more than the expression of his libidinous urges and secret hatreds, he may already be succeeding in taking down that world order in record fashion.

Wike et al. write:

Although he has only been in office a few months, Donald Trump’s presidency has had a major impact on how the world sees the United States. Trump and manyof his key policies are broadly unpopular around the globe, and ratings for the U.S. have declined steeply in many nations. According to a new Pew Research Center survey spanning 37 nations, a median of just 22% has confidence in Trumpto do the right thing when it comes to international affairs. This stands in contrast to the final years of Barack Obama’s presidency, when a median of 64% expressedconfidence in Trump’s predecessor to direct America’s role in the world.

The sharp decline in how much global publics trust the U.S. president on the world stage is especially pronounced among some of America’s closest allies in Europe and Asia, as well as neighboring Mexico and Canada. Across the 37 nations polled, Trump gets higher marks than Obama in only two countries: Russia and Israel …

In addition to exploring global views of President Trump, this survey also examines attitudes toward three other major leaders on the international stage. Theresults demonstrate that Trump is not the only world leader in whom global publics lack confidence. Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President

23

Vladimir Putin also get poor marks, though neither is rated as negatively as the U.S. president …

The Alliance Allows the King of the South to Achieve His Goals

The Treaty of Tolentino allowed Napoleon to place his military troops where he desired.

The secret alliance between Putin and Trump is enabling Russia to achieve major foreign policy

goals. Rogin writes:

President Trump’s Wednesday meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at the White House was not primarily about sanctions or Crimea or even Russian interference in the 2016 election. According to Trump, the U.S. government now looks favorably on the Russian-Iranian-Turkish plan for Syria …

The memorandum that Russia, Iran and Turkey signed in Astana last week calls for the establishment of “de-escalation areas” inside Syria that would provide for a reduction in violence, improvements in humanitarian conditions and an environment that might lead to a resumption of a political process.

Among the many shortcomings of the plan, however, are that large parts of these safety zones would be patrolled by Russian and Iranian forces, who have participated in the Assad regime’s campaign of atrocities. Also, there are no enforcement mechanisms if the regime and its partners don’t comply.

Tanden writes:

Incredibly, the man who now leads the United States seems to find himself locked in an alarming and perilous embrace with the Russian government. These ties threaten to weaken a system of alliances that have held Russia—and countless other threats to the international community—at bay since the conclusion of the Second World War…

… As the president faces accusations of colluding with the Russians during last year’s campaign, his policies in office have aligned almost perfectly with the Kremlin’s goals. If Moscow wanted its interference in America’s election to yield dividends, it could hardly have hoped for more …

Trump himself has seemingly courted the favor of Russian President Vladimir Putin since the 2016 presidential campaign. He’s repeatedly praised Putin’s leadership, refused to condemn Russian efforts to disrupt the U.S. system of free elections, and openly encouraged Russian hacking of the Hillary Clinton campaign. Friday’s explosive report from The Washington Post confirmed that Putin was deeply and directly involved in an operation to hurt Clinton’s candidacyand help elect Trump.

24

What’s more, in every way he can, Trump has deferred to Russia on matters of foreign policy. After Russian forces deployed their hacking tools during the recentFrench presidential election, Trump invited Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to the White House and failed to repudiate the attack against a vital American ally. Instead, during his meeting with Lavrov, Trump divulged highly sensitive classified information provided by Israel, another crucial U.S. partner. (That May 10 meeting also came a day after Trump removed Comey, who was leading the inquiries into collusion; Trump told the Russians that the director’s dismissal had alleviated “great pressure” on him.) Even more recently, the Trump administration has reportedly taken steps to return two diplomatic compounds thatformer President Barack Obama stripped from Russia following its actions during last year’s election.

To make matters worse, Trump has done far more than just extend open arms toward the Russian government. He wavered on the United States’ commitment todefend its fellow members of NATO; his aides have reportedly tried to undermine the European Union; and he himself has alienated key partners by lashing out at individual leaders and pulling out of the Paris Agreement.

When Americans step back and consider this stunning series of actions, they should be left with unsettling questions: What are Donald Trump’s reasons for doing this? What exactly does he have to hide?

The Alliance Involves the Media

The Treaty of Tolentino included compensation for a journalist’s family who was killed

for attacking the Pope and defending Napoleon’s military actions. The inclusion of a journalist

in the terms of the treaty parallels Russia’s use of various forms of media platforms to attack H.

Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign and election by utilizing “fake news”. This is

also one of Trump’s tactics in propagandizing his support base. He attacks any media outlet that

reports on his negative actions as “fake news”. Timberg writes:

The flood of “fake news” this election season got support from a sophisticated Russian propaganda campaign that created and spread misleading articles online with the goal of punishing Democrat Hillary Clinton, helping Republican Donald Trump and undermining faith in American democracy, say independent researchers who tracked the operation.

Russia’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda machinery — including thousandsof botnets, teams of paid human “trolls,” and networks of websites and social-media accounts — echoed and amplified right-wing sites across the Internet as they portrayed Clinton as a criminal hiding potentially fatal health problems and

25

preparing to hand control of the nation to a shadowy cabal of global financiers. The effort also sought to heighten the appearance of international tensions and promote fear of looming hostilities with nuclear-armed Russia …

“They want to essentially erode faith in the U.S. government or U.S. government interests,” said Clint Watts, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute who along with two other researchers has tracked Russian propaganda since 2014. “This was their standard mode during the Cold War. The problem is that this was hard to do before social media” …

The Russian campaign during this election season, researchers from both groups say, worked by harnessing the online world’s fascination with “buzzy” content that is surprising and emotionally potent, and tracks with popular conspiracy theories about how secret forces dictate world events …

“The way that this propaganda apparatus supported Trump was equivalent to somemassive amount of a media buy,” said the executive director of PropOrNot, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid being targeted by Russia’s legions of skilled hackers. “It was like Russia was running a super PAC for Trump’s campaign … It worked.”

He and other researchers expressed concern that the U.S. government has few tools for detecting or combating foreign propaganda. They expressed hope that their research detailing the power of Russian propaganda would spur official action …

“They use our technologies and values against us to sow doubt,” said Robert Orttung, a GWU professor who studies Russia. “It’s starting to undermine our democratic system.”

The Rand report — which dubbed Russian propaganda efforts a “firehose of falsehood” because of their speed, power and relentlessness — traced the country’s current generation of online propaganda work to the 2008 incursion intoneighboring Georgia, when Russia sought to blunt international criticism of its aggression by pushing alternative explanations online.

The same tactics, researchers said, helped Russia shape international opinions about its 2014 annexation of Crimea and its military intervention in Syria, which started last year. Russian propaganda operations also worked to promote the “Brexit” departure of Britain from the European Union.

Another crucial moment, several researchers say, came in 2011 when the party of Russian President Vladimir Putin was accused of rigging elections, sparking protests that Putin blamed the Obama administration — and then-Secretary of State Clinton — for instigating …

The content from Russian sites has offered ready fodder for U.S.-based websites pushing far-right conservative messages. A former contractor for one, the Next

26

News Network, said he was instructed by the site’s founder, Gary S. Franchi Jr., toweave together reports from traditional sources such as the Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times with ones from RT, Sputnik and others that provided articles that often spread explosively online.

“The readers are more likely to share the fake stories, and they’re more profitable,” said Dyan Bermeo, who said he helped assemble scripts and book guests for Next News Network before leaving because of a pay dispute and concerns that “fake news” was crowding out real news…

Some of these stories originated with RT and Sputnik, state-funded Russian information services that mimic the style and tone of independent news organizations yet sometimes include false and misleading stories in their reports, the researchers say. On other occasions, RT, Sputnik and other Russian sites used social-media accounts to amplify misleading stories already circulating online, causing news algorithms to identify them as “trending” topics that sometimes prompted coverage from mainstream American news organizations.

Stelter writes:

President Trump says he has "very little time for watching T.V." But he has lots to say about the news coverage of his presidency.

On Wednesday he twice retweeted Fox News; denied reporting from other outlets about White House dysfunction; and falsely claimed that journalists routinely make up sources out of thin air.

The tweets provided insight into his thinking -- he is reportedly irritated by damaging news reports about his son Donald Trump Jr. and son-in-law Jared Kushner's newly revealed contacts with a Russian lawyer.

The president hasn't held any public events since the weekend, so the tweets are his only mode of communication with the American people.

He started the morning by praising Trump Jr.'s interview on Fox News the night before. "He was open, transparent and innocent," Trump wrote.

Then he repeated a falsehood he has tried out before – he said "when you hear the words 'sources say' from the Fake Media, often times those sources are made up and do not exist."

If this was a reaction to the Trump Jr. story, it was a head-scratcher. Several days of anonymously-sourced New York Times stories about the mysterious meeting were proven right when Trump Jr. released the email exchange that proved those stories were accurate.

27

Perhaps the anti-anonymous-source tweet was a response to the bounty of other stories about the crisis enveloping the White House. Trump woke up to articles in The New York Times, Washington Post and other papers that compared the situation to a "Category 5 hurricane" and described finger-pointing and infighting among top aides.Trump's assertion that anonymous sources are "often" times "made up" is false -- part of his ongoing effort to demean and undermine the national news media.Newsrooms have rigorous editorial policies governing the use of anonymous sources in stories. Reporters have to disclose information about their sources to their editors.On the rare occasions when the sourcing of a story is called into question, news outlets conduct investigations.

What Trump is alleging is "a fireable offense. You make up a source, you're fired,"CNN media analyst Bill Carter pointed out Wednesday morning.

Trump has a questionable track record when it comes to this subject. He reportedly pretended to be someone else, a publicist named John Barron, to feed favorable stories about himself to the New York tabloids in the 1980s.

In 2012, he claimed to have an "extremely credible source" providing him damaging information about President Obama. At the time, Trump was championing the "birther" movement, sowing doubt about Obama's citizenship. He never provided any proof of the source's claims, or of the source's existence or credibility.

Trump also used to retweet fans who made spurious claims about Obama. He was widely criticized for those tweets.

The King of the South Enters into all Domains of the United States Through Cyber Warfare

The Treaty of Tolentino allowed Napoleon to enter into public, private and religious

domains at his will. This parallels Russia’s repeated and numerous cyber attacks into various

domains in several countries around the world, and foreshadows the type of attack that Russia

may use at Midnight. From Wikipedia:

Cyberwarfare by Russia includes denial of service attacks, hacker attacks, dissemination of disinformation and propaganda, participation of state-sponsored teams in political blogs, internet surveillance using SORM technology, persecution of cyber-dissidents and other active measures. According to investigative journalist Andrei Soldatov, some of these activities have been coordinated by the Russian signals intelligence, which is part of the FSB and was

28

formerly a part of the 16th KGB department, but others have been directed by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Military of Russia …

In April 2015, CNN reported that "russian hackers" had "penetrated sensitive partsof the White House" computers in "recent months." It was said that the FBI, the Secret Service, and other U.S. intelligence agencies categorized the attacks "among the most sophisticated attacks ever launched against U.S. government systems."

In 2015, CNN reported that Russian hackers, likely working for the Russian government, are suspected in the State Department hack. Federal law enforcement, intelligence and congressional officials briefed on the investigation say the hack of the State email system is the "worst ever" cyberattack intrusion against a federal agency.In February 2016, senior Kremlin advisor and top Russian cyber official Andrey Krutskikh told the Russian national security conference in Moscow that Russia was working on new strategies for the “information arena” that was equivalent to testing a nuclear bomb and would “allow us to talk to the Americans as equals.”

In 2016, the release of emails from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton through the DC leaks website were said by private sector analyst's and USintelligence services to have been of Russian origin. Also, in December 2016, Republican and Democratic Senators on the United States Armed Services Committee called for "a special select committee to investigate Russian attempts to influence the presidential election." (“Cyberwarfare by Russia”).

The King of the South will Take Back its Pre-1989 Territories and Countries

The Treaty of Tolentino allowed Napoleon to take property from the Vatican. Daniel 11:8

shows that when Russia strikes the U.S. at midnight, it will also annex territories and countries

which were once part of the Soviet Union, thus reversing the loss of these areas in 1989 (this will

be discussed in more detail in a separate document).

The components outlined in the Treaty of Tolentino parallel the alliance between Putin

and Trump that is revealed in Daniel 11:6. Daniel 11:2 provides the clue that this alliance was

made in secret.

29

Berenice is the Secret Alliance Between Putin and Trump

In the history of Ptolemy and Antiochus, Berenice symbolizes the treaty. The second part

of Berenice’s name is Phernophorus, which means “dowry bearer" (Tyndale House). She was

true to her name, and came to Antiochus with an immense dowry, paralleling the monetary

relationship between Trump, his family, and his associates with Russia. Berenice also means

“bringer of victory” (Wikipedia). This symbolizes the purpose of the secret alliance. Putin

suborned Trump to bring him illegal victory in the 2016 presidential election so that Russia could

gain foreign policy advantages over the United States, and eventually attack; and because of

Trump’s incessant desire for power of wealth (Daniel 11:2), he joined together with Putin

(Daniel 11:6). Though it has not yet been revealed to the United States’ Intelligence community

if and how Russia altered the election results, verse 6 certainly reveals that Russia coordinated

successful attacks on the country’s election system to produce an outcome that it desired, the

illegal presidency of Trump. Just as Berenice was not the rightful first wife of Antiochus, Trump

is not the rightful president of the United States.

Russia’s GRU intelligence agency attempted to hack the computers of voting officials across the country in the days before the 2016 presidential election, according to a top secret National Security Agency document that was leaked to the Intercept.

The attacks focused on voter registration systems rather than voting machines themselves, so there’s no evidence that the Russian government directly changed anyone’s vote. But there’s also a lot we can’t tell from the report about what the Russians might have accomplished — and whether they could have altered the election result, directly or indirectly.

We can speculate, though, on what the Russians could have done after they gainedaccess to the election officials’ computers. For example, they could have deleted records for voters registered with one party to help candidates of the other party. Deleted voters would have still been able to vote, but they would have had to cast provisional ballots — a cumbersome process that could have discouraged some from casting their votes.

30

Attackers could also have simply caused registration systems to crash in precincts that were likely to vote heavily for one candidate over the other. That could have caused delays and long lines that would suppress turnout in those precincts.

At least one jurisdiction using EV Systems voting technology experienced serious glitches on election day: Durham, North Carolina. The voter registration system there malfunctioned, leading to long lines. Officials there say they don’t believe they were hacked — they say the problems they encountered appeared to be the result of user error. But Alex Halderman, a computer security expert at the University of Michigan, points out that if a sophisticated hacker were targeting American elections, it would do what it could to make any glitches appear to be accidents rather than deliberate sabotage.

The most alarming possibility, Halderman says, is that hackers could use access tothese officials’ computers as a “stepping stone” to attack voting machines themselves.

To be clear, we have no evidence they did this, but the officials who manage voter registration records often work closely with those who manage voting machines themselves. So gaining access to voter registration systems could be a first step to hacking voting machines themselves.

“The Russians not only carried out this targeted leaking and information warfare style campaign to interfere with the election,” Halderman said, “they were also taking major steps down the route of trying to interfere with the mechanics of the election by targeting a voting system vendor and their customers who are election officials.”

Halderman argues that the report highlights the need for more investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 election as well as further steps to shore up America’s election infrastructure ahead of the 2018 and 2020 elections.

“I hope we learn more about this and it becomes part of a larger investigation into what’s going on,” says Joe Hall, chief technologist at the Center for Democracy and Technology. “If it was a dedicated campaign by the GRU, they're not going to settle for attacking one podunk vendor, they'll try many different things.”

In short, cybersecurity has become one of the biggest challenges to running a secure and trustworthy election. We have a lot more work to do to find out what happened in 2016 and how to make sure something even worse doesn’t happen in future elections (Lee).

The Secret Alliance Between Putin and Trump, and Russia’s Manipulation of Election Results will be Exposed

And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement;

31

but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times (KJV, Daniel 11:6).

Daniel 11:6 very clearly states that Russia’s manipulation of election results, and the

secret alliance between Putin and Trump will not only be discovered and broken, but that those

involved in this secret alliance will be removed from their positions and punished. When Putin’s

and Trump’s collusion in obtaining an illegal victory for Trump is revealed and exposed, the

United States government will remove him and his entire staff and cabinet from office, as well as

cease any foreign policies favoring Russia that was instigated by Trump.

In the history of Berenice and Antiochus, neither of them retained their power, nor any

one associated with them. Berenice, representing the secret alliance between Putin and Trump,

was killed, suggesting that the features in the secret alliance which benefit Russia will be

countermanded and revoked (“she shall not retain the power of the arm”). Antiochus was also

killed, which shows that Trump will not continue to remain in office as president, but that he will

be removed from his position, along with his family members and associates who currently hold

official positions (“nor his arm”).

Verse 6 also reveals that those involved in bringing about and carrying out the secret

alliance between Putin and Trump will be punished (“they that brought her”); all policies and

executive orders resulting from the secret alliance will cease (“he that begat her” or “whom she

brought forth”); and anyone who supported Trump in office to carry forward the purpose of the

secret alliance will also be removed and punished (“he that strengthened her in these times”).

Laodice is the 46th and Last President of the United States

After the death of Ptolemy Philadelphus, Antiochus went back to his first and legitimate

wife, Laodice. She then poisoned Antiochus and ordered the killing of Berenice and her infant

32

son, then gave the throne to herself and to her own son. This history represents the unveiling of

the fraudulent 2016 presidential election, revealing that Trump took the position of the president

illegally.

It also reveals who the rightful president will be. Laodice, who was Antiochus’ first

rightful and legitimate wife, represents the 2016 presidential election’s rightful victor: H.

Clinton. It has already been determined by the Intelligence community that Russia’s purpose in

interfering in the 2016 election was to denigrate H. Clinton, to keep her from getting elected, and

support Trump in obtaining the presidency. Once it is discovered that Russia not only interfered

in the election, but actually altered the outcome of the election, Trump will be removed from

office, and H. Clinton will be placed in office as the 46th and last president of the United States.

Just as Alexander took the power away from Persia, H. Clinton will take the power away from

Trump. Laodice means “justice of the people”. When Trump is ousted as an impostor, and H.

Clinton is placed in office as the rightful victor, justice will have been served.

It is not certain how all these events will transpire, but Daniel 11:6 reveals that these

events will certainly occur; and it will result in creating chaos in the United States. Once H.

Clinton assumes office, some type of retaliation against Russia will take place. This is brought

out in the last portion of Daniel 11:10: “then shall he return and be stirred up, even to his

fortress”. This will occur just prior to Midnight, and will be explained further in Part 6 of this

document.

The Narrative of Daniel 11:6

And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement; but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times (KJV, Daniel 11:6).

33

Prior to the 2016 presidential election, Trump (king of the North, Antiochus) was

approached by Putin (king of the South, Ptolemy), with a bribe of money, and a proposal to make

him president in exchange for foreign policy favors (“in the end of years they shall join

themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to

make an agreement”; Berenice’s dowry, Berenice’s name, Daniel 11:2). Trump joined with Putin

in forming a secret alliance, and illegally won the 2016 presidential election (Antiochus’ divorce

from Laodice and marriage to Berenice). The secret alliance and its aspects of altering the 2016

election results will eventually be revealed (Antiochus’ return to Laodice), the alliance between

Putin and Trump will be broken (“she shall not retain the power of the arm”; death of Berenice),

and Trump, his family members, and all his associates will be removed from office and punished

(“neither shall he stand, nor his arm”; Antiochus, Berenice, and her entourage killed). H.

Clinton, the rightful victor, will become the 46th and last president (Laodice taking the throne),

and all policies and executive orders put in place by Trump’s cabinet to benefit Russia will be

terminated (“she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that

strengthened her in these times”). Russia will be punished prior to Midnight (Daniel 11:10,

“then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress”), and war will ensue, with Russia

attacking at Midnight (Raphia, Daniel 11:11), and the United States retaliating at Midnight Cry

(Panium, Daniel 11:15).

The 45th President is the Sign

Upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples asked Jesus when the destruction of Jerusalem

would be, as well as the sign of His coming and the end of the world:

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (KJV, Matthew 24:3).

Jesus answered by listing the events in order up to His second coming. It is suggested

that for the Priests, the three events (destruction of Jerusalem, sign of His coming, end of the

world) also symbolize the progression of one event culminating at Midnight.

35

Deception Comes from Within, Not Without

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many (KJV, Matthew 24:4, 5).

In Part 2, it was emphasized that God’s people are warned to study as the Bereans, so that

they are not deceived into simply believing an erroneous teaching from an influential teacher

within this movement. The Priests are not necessarily deceived into believing teachings from

those who were once in this movement, but have separated. Once these false teachers separate,

they are no longer part of this movement; and those who stay in this movement, no longer

believe their errors. So the warning to not be deceived is not about those false teachers who have

left the movement, but about teachers within the movement who are teaching error. The only

way to understand whether any of the teachings is error and not be deceived is through prayerful

personal Bible study, using Miller’s rules of prophetic interpretation:

Those who are engaged in proclaiming the third angel’s message are searching theScriptures upon the same plan that Father Miller adopted. In the little book entitled “Views of the Prophecies and Prophetic Chronology,” Father Miller gives the following simple but intelligent and important rules for Bible study and interpretation:

“1. Every word must have its proper bearing on the subject presented in the Bible;2. All Scripture is necessary, and may be understood by diligent application and study; 3. Nothing revealed in Scripture can or will be hid from those who ask in faith, not wavering; 4. To understand doctrine, bring all the scriptures together on the subject you wish to know, then let every word have its proper influence; and ifyou can form your theory without a contradiction, you cannot be in error; 5. Scripture must be its own expositor, since it is a rule of itself. If I depend on a teacher to expound to me, and he should guess at its meaning, or desire to have it so on account of his sectarian creed, or to be thought wise, then his guessing, desire, creed, or wisdom is my rule, and not the Bible.”

The above is a portion of these rules; and in our study of the Bible we shall all do well to heed the principles set forth (RH November 25, 1884).

36

Though God sends messengers to His people to shed light upon their path, it is the duty

of the people to investigate the messages themselves, and not simply depend on the messengers.

The 45th President is Not Yet the End of Presidents

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet (KJV, Matthew 24:6)

It is proposed that this verse speaks of our present history. The “wars and rumours of

wars” represent the current uncertainty and instability of the United States’ relation to other

countries under Trump’s erratic and unscrupulous presidency. It is of significance that as this

uncertain time was mentioned, Jesus inserted the admonition that “the end is not yet.” This

implies that God’s people are liable to believe an error that would make them believe that an end

has arrived. This error is the teaching and belief that Trump is the last president. Based on

scriptural evidence, God’s people are to understand that Trump is not the last president and cause

a “time of trouble” for themselves before its time. By giving the warning that “the end is not

yet”, Jesus was telling His people that another president will follow Trump.

Nation Wars Against Nation at Midnight; Kingdom Wars Against Kingdom at Midnight Cry

After Jesus gave the admonition to not believe that Trump is the last president, He

provided the following events:

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places (KJV, Matthew 24:7).

Strong’s definition for “nation” is:

G1484: probably from G1486; a race (as of the same habit), i.e. a tribe; specially, a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually, by implication, pagan)

Since a country generally represents a race, this is an event in which a foreign country

attacks another country. This is Midnight, when Russia attacks the United States. Daniel 11:7

37

reveals this event, just after verse 6 shows that H. Clinton will take the power away from Trump.

This explains that the last president, H. Clinton, will be the one to preside at Midnight, Midnight

Cry and the Sunday Law. This is also evident from Daniel 11:3 and 4, as discussed in Part 3 of

this document.

Jesus then stated that “kingdom shall rise against kingdom”. Strong’s definition for

“kingdom” is: “G932: from G935; properly, royalty, i.e. (abstractly) rule, or (concretely) a realm

(literally or figuratively)”. A kingdom is ruled by a monarchy (royalty), and a monarchy is an

autocracy. When “kingdom rises against kingdom”, two world powers that rule as a dictatorship

war against each other. This is Midnight Cry. After Russia successfully attacks the United States

at Midnight, it seemingly becomes a super-power that rules as in its former communistic years

for a short period. It is then attacked by the United States at Midnight Cry, which also rules as an

autocracy at that point.

Trump is Cestius, H. Clinton is Titus

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then letthem which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him whichis in the field return back to take his clothes (KJV, Matthew 24:15-18).

Once the Christians saw the sign of Cestius and his soldiers surrounding Jerusalem’s

precinct, they recognized that the time to flee was imminent. After Cestius besieged Jerusalem

in AD 66 for 6 days, he unexpectedly and suddenly abandoned the siege. Immediately upon his

departure, every single Christian heeded Jesus’ warning to leave all their possessions and fled

Jerusalem, and their lives were spared when Titus returned in AD 70 to destroy it. The

Christians obviously understood that Cestius was the sign, and knew that there would arise an

opportunity for them to flee; and when that opportunity came, they fled without delay. Those

38

who stayed in Jerusalem fell under a false sense of security, chased after Cestius’ army, and

greedily took of their spoils.

Daniel 11 reveals that Cestius represents Trump, the 45th president. His presidency is the

sign that the final preparation to flee all spiritualistic and doctrinal errors and remove all sin will

have to be made. Through Trump’s secret alliance with Putin, his personal actions involving his

desire for power and wealth will transition the government from a democracy to an autocracy,

setting it up for the papacy to start taking control at Midnight under the 46th presidency. Trump’s

secret alliance with Putin and his illegal presidency will be exposed, and he will be suddenly

removed from office. When the 46th president, H Clinton assumes office, Titus will have arrived,

and probation for Priests will close.

A Woe is Upon Those Who Continue to Rely on Man for Spiritual Food

And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days (KJV, Matthew 24:19).

39

Jesus proclaimed a woe upon those who will be “with child”, or “give suck” when the

sign to flee arrives. This illustration reveals that God’s people ought not to be relying solely on

man for spiritual food at this point. They ought to have mastered the skills of prophetic

understanding, so that they can investigate for themselves the things they have been taught.

Trump’s presidency is a sign that if Priests have not yet been taking the time to investigate for

themselves, searching the Scriptures by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and weaning themselves

from relying on men to teach them every single point of doctrine, then a woe is placed upon

them.

The oil of grace, which is the righteous character of Christ and the correct understanding

of prophecies must be collected now. Trump’s short presidency is the last opportunity to do so.

Jesus provides all the knowledge so that His people can be weaned from man when “great

tribulation” comes.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil (KJV, Hebrews 5:12-14).

H. Clinton’s Assumption of the Presidency (46th) is the Winter and Midnight is the Sabbath When Escape is Impossible

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day (KJV, Matthew 24:20).

The 45th presidency is preparation day, the sixth day. This is symbolized by Cestius’

arrival to siege Jerusalem, and also by Jesus’ forewarning that the flight ought not to be in winter

or on the Sabbath, which is symbolized by the siege of Titus. By the time that H. Clinton

assumes the presidency, the harvest is complete, God has gathered His faithful Priests, and

winter has arrived. By Midnight, Sabbath has arrived, and no preparatory work can be done.

40

These symbols represent H. Clinton’s 46th presidency. After she takes office, sunset will have

arrived, and it will be too late to flee error and sin, for probation for Priests will have closed.

The Sign is Both External and Internal

As already suggested, the destruction of Jerusalem, Christ’s second coming, and the end

of the world all represent the same event for Priests at one level: their close of probation at the

46th presidency, just prior to Midnight. Jesus first gave a warning to not be deceived into

believing error, then gave the admonition to understand that “the end is not yet”, then provided a

description of all the succeeding events. He then returned to the sign prior to these events, and

warned them to flee when they see this sign. The warning to not believe the error that Trump is

the last president, and the sign of “the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” are

connected events. That is, the sign occurs when God’s people believe an error that the end of the

United States’ presidents has arrived.

When the sign of “the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” is given,

God’s people are commanded to understand it:

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel theprophet, stand in the holy place (whoso readeth let him understand) (KJV, Matthew 24:15).

The eternal destiny of God’s people depends upon a correct understanding of this sign.

The 45th President is the External Sign That The Close of Probation is Near

The 45th president, Trump, is the sign for God’s people that the end is near, not that the

end of the presidents has arrived. Based upon Daniel 11:3, 6, 10 and 20, God’s people are

warned that Trump will remain in office for a short period, that H. Clinton will assume the

presidency, and when she does, Midnight will be imminent. This understanding reveals that

41

probationary time for Priests is far shorter than the possible eight years (two terms) once

believed. All these events must occur within this current term of office.

The 45th president is the external symbol of the “abomination of desolation standing in

the holy place.” The “holy place” is Jerusalem, the “glorious land”, which symbolizes the

United States. Trump’s secret alliance with Putin, the interference and manipulation by Russia of

the country’s electoral system, and the eventual illegal presidency of Trump is abominable to the

United States Constitution, which ensures a free and just election. Trump continues to spite the

Constitution by running an administration seeped in controversy, nepotism, secrecy, and

authoritarian control. Rather than working for the people of the land, he engages in mind

manipulation of his support base with the dissemination of his own “fake news”, and attacks on

the free press that report his questionable and deceptive behaviors. All this is done to support his

own personal agenda, as well as Russia’s. These features are bringing down democracy and

setting up the rise of the next power in the United States: the alliance that H. Clinton will make

with the papacy after Midnight.

In addition to Trump showing a lack of regard for the Constitution, once he was illegally

placed in office as president, those who held similar bigoted beliefs as Trump were emboldened

to act out their own prejudices, and also show despite to the Constitution which ensures civil

rights and liberty for all races and religions.

Spiritualism is the Internal Sign that the Omega Apostasy is now in the Latter Rain Movement

The golden candlesticks were placed in the Holy Place in the Sanctuary, and Mrs. White

states that the candlesticks represent God’s church. Therefore, the spiritualistic teachings that

42

have entered the Latter Rain Movement are the internal symbol of the “abomination of

desolation standing in the holy place”:

The words fall from the lips of One who cannot lie. The picture reveals eternal vigilance. Christ is in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, walking from church to church, from congregation to congregation, from heart to heart. He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. If the candlesticks were left to the care of human beings, how often the light would flicker and go out! But God has not given His church into the hands of men. Christ, the One who gave His life for the world, that all who believe in Him may not perish but have everlasting life, is the watchman of the house. He is the warder, faithful and true, of the temple courts of the Lord.… (7BC 956).

And thou shalt set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table onthe north side (KJV, Exodus 26:35).

As discussed in Part 2, on election day, November 8 2016, ARSOTP broadcast on its

YouTube channel McGregor’s teachings for the first time. The day after, some who had been

watching McGregor’s presentations recognized that he was teaching spiritualism and

mesmerizing his audience. The leading teacher and staff of ARSOTP were immediately

contacted and informed, but sadly and disappointingly, they rejected these concerns, denied that

McGregor was engaging in any type of spiritualistic or hypnotic activity, and strongly defended

and supported McGregor. His teachings continued to be heavily promoted, and another

spiritualistic teacher, Panton, soon joined in teaching at the school. Three months after the

warning about McGregor was given, he and his associates were removed from the school and

labeled as part of the omega apostasy.

While these two men continued to teach at ARSOTP, the audience became mesmerized

by their frequent manipulations of numbers and mystical forms of reasoning. Just as Trump’s

presidency gave his bigoted followers permission to act out their prejudices, McGregor’s and

Panton’s presence at the school gave permission to those inclined to mysticism, sensationalism

43

and fanaticism to act out their spiritualistic beliefs. The sensational and emotional reactions to

McGregor were immediate. Viewers posted comments delving heavily into numerology, and the

fascination by the audience toward the divinatory arts was palpable.

McGregor and Panton came to the school as spiritualists. They taught their spiritualistic

ideas and mesmerized their audience. When the school removed them, it was due to their

insistence on following Mark Bruce’s teachings, who had separated himself from this movement;

and not because of the danger of their spiritualistic teachings and practices. The warning

regarding McGregor’s dangerous spiritualism and the aspect of his and his associates’ influence

upon the people of this movement were not addressed nor directly met, and continues to be

ignored. Since the promulgation of their teachings at ARSOTP, the use and promotion of

numerology and mystical reasoning has increasingly grown by the teachers and students.

Trump’s age the day after inauguration (70 years, 7months, 7 days), the difference in ages

between students (9 years, 11 years), the students’ airport terminal numbers (9 and 11), the time

of sunset at Brother Pippenger’s presentation (9:11), Peter’s name equaling 144,000, the

summation of the presidencies on Mt. Rushmore supposedly equaling a significant number, and

numerous other spiritualistic concepts are currently promulgated by ARSOTP and taught to be

significant and true. Even the meaning of Trump’s and Putin’s first names is used to show

evidence that Trump is the last president (“ruler of the world”), when the “scripture of truth”

clearly notes that neither of them will be the “ruler of the world”, and that they will both be

destroyed before H. Clinton takes her position as “ruler of the world” at Midnight Cry.

These mystical beliefs are the “abomination of desolation standing in the holy place”. It

is the sign to God’s people that the omega apostasy has arrived within the Latter Rain

Movement, and that they must flee these errors immediately. These spiritualistic sentiments are

44

straight from the father of lies. They should be shunned quickly and decisively, but it has only

been promoted and given permission by the leaders to fester and grow. If the sign of the

“abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” is not acknowledged, and the warning to

flee these errors is not heeded immediately, the Priests of this movement will continue to sleep

on in apostasy, and will be destroyed when H. Clinton becomes the 46th and last president of the

United States.

Sister White further told of how she was called upon repeatedly to meet this fanaticism squarely, and to rebuke it sternly in the name of the Lord. She emphasized the fact that we have a great work to do in the world, and that our strength with the people lies in the power that accompanies a clear presentation of the Word of the living God. The law of Jehovah is to be exalted, and made honorable; and the various features of the third angel’s message are to be plainly outlined before the people, that all may have an opportunity to hear the truth for this time, and to decide whether to obey God rather than man.

Mrs. White: If we as a church were to give place to any form of fanaticism, the minds of unbelievers would be diverted from the living Word to the doings of mortal men, and there would appear more of the human than the divine. Besides, many would be disgusted by that which to their minds seemed unnatural and bordering on the fanatical. Thus the proclamation of the message for this time would be sadly hindered. The Holy Spirit works in a manner that commends itself to the good judgment of the people …

… Some would dance up and down, singing, “Glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory.” Sometimes I would sit still until they got through, and then I would rise and say: This is not the way the Lord works. He does not make impressions in thisway. We must direct the minds of the people to the Word as the foundation of our faith.

I was but a mere child at that time; and yet I had to bear my testimony repeatedly against these strange workings. And ever since that time, I have sought to be very, very careful lest something of this sort should come in again among our people. Any manifestation of fanaticism takes the mind away from the evidence of truth-the Word itself.

You might take a consistent course, but those who might be influenced by you would take a very inconsistent course, and, as a result, we should very soon have our hands full of something that would make it almost impossible to give unbelievers the right impression of our message and work. We must go to the people with the solid Word of God; and when they receive that Word, the Holy

45

Spirit may come, but it always comes, as I have stated before, in a way that commends itself to the judgment of the people. In our speaking, our singing, and in all our spiritual exercises, we are to reveal that calmness and dignity and godly fear that actuates every true child of God.

There is constant danger of allowing something to come into our midst that we may regard as the workings of the Holy Spirit, but that in reality is the fruit of a spirit of fanaticism. So long as we allow the enemy of truth to lead us into a wrong way, we cannot hope to reach the honest in heart with the third angel’s message. We are to be sanctified through obedience to the truth. I am afraid of anything that would have a tendency to turn the mind away from the solid evidences of the truth as revealed in God’s Word. I am afraid of it; I am afraid of it. We must bring our minds within the bounds of reason, lest the enemy so come in as to set everything in a disorderly way. There are persons of an excitable temperament who are easily led into fanaticism; and should we allow anything to come into our churches that would lead such persons into error, we would soon see these errors carried to extreme lengths; and then because of the course of thesedisorderly elements, a stigma would rest upon the whole body of Seventh-day Adventists.

I have been studying how to get some of these early experiences into print again, so that more of our people may be informed; for I have long known that fanaticism will be manifest again, in different ways. We are to strengthen our position by dwelling on the Word, and by avoiding all oddities and strange exercisings that some would be very quick to catch up and practice. If we were to allow confusion to come into our ranks, we could not bind off our work as we should. We are trying to bind it off now, in every way possible …

… During the years of Christ’s ministry on earth … No occasion for any accusation could be found. The minds of all were directed to the Scriptures, rather than to individuals. The truth was proclaimed intelligently, and so plainly that all could understand.

Now I am afraid to have anything of a fanatical nature brought in among our people. There are many, many who must be sanctified; but they are to be sanctified through obedience to the message of truth. I am writing on this subject today. In this message there is a beautiful consistency that appeals to the judgment. We cannot allow excitable elements among us to display themselves in a way that would destroy our influence with those whom we wish to reach with the truth. It took us years to outlive the unfavorable impression that unbelievers gained of Adventists through their knowledge of the strange and wicked workings of fanatical elements among us during the early years of our existence as a separate people …

… and for this reason we ought to be very guarded. It is through the Word—not feeling, not excitement—that we want to influence the people to obey the truth.

46

On the platform of God’s Word we can stand with safety. The living Word is replete with evidence, and a wonderful power accompanies its proclamation in ourworld …

… The sincere desire to do others good will lead the Christian worker to put away all thought of bringing into the message of present truth any strange teachings leading men and women into fanaticism. At this period of the world’s history, we must exercise the greatest of care in this respect (3SM 371-377).

… There are those who have followed their own ways instead of the ways of God.They have not acknowledged the light that God has graciously given: and becauseof this they have lost the power to distinguish between darkness and light. There are many who have heard much in regard to the path they ought to follow, but who ignore the requirements God makes of them. Their light does not shine in works that reveal the principles of truth and holiness. It is this class, who in time of test will accept falsehood and erroneous theories for the truth of God.

Great light has been given to the people of God. Let our people awake, and go forward to perfection. You will be exposed to fallacies of Satanic agencies. Fearfulwaves of fanaticism will come. But God will deliver the people who will earnestlyseek the Lord, and consecrate themselves to His service (PUR December 31, 1908).

Daniel 11:6 is the Key that Unlocks the Understanding that Trump is not the Last President,

In the background history of the Roman rulers of Daniel 11:16-19 (Pompey, Julius), a

pattern of relationships occurs between the rulers and various women, and between the rulers

themselves. These relationships actually symbolize the same events as Daniel 11:6: the secret

alliance between Putin and Trump, the removal of Trump from office, and the placing in office of

H. Clinton as the last president.

The structure of Daniel 11:6 sets the foundation to understand the relationships between

Roman leaders and the women associated with them. Just as Berenice, the daughter of the king

of the South, represents the alliance between the king of the North and the king of the South, a

daughter of a Roman leader also represents this same alliance. And just as Berenice dies, so do

the daughters of the Roman leaders, which results in the alliance being broken. In the history of

47

Roman leaders, additional characters are included: a third party who dies, and a mistress. These

relationships are all based upon the pattern of Daniel 11:6, and the understanding of who and

what the characters represent in Roman history relies upon the correct understanding of who and

what the characters represent in verse 6. Once these relationships are understood based upon the

correct understanding of Daniel 11:6, it is then confirmed that “Rome establishes the vision” of

this verse: Trump is not the last president of the United States. H. Clinton will be (this will be

explained in more detail in Part 7 of this document).
