David Pawson! You have been part of my Journey as a Christian! I just found out that today is tour 1st year death anniversary in this world. Godbless what you have left for us in this world.
Wow! Simply wonderful insights. I especially liked minute 27. I have been distracted with 'spiritual warfare' and was almost going off track. May you enjoy heaven David. Till we meet again. For we know God is with you.
Hi this is steve on behalf of David - all of the charts used in Unlocking the Bible videos can be downloaded from www.davidpawson.org free of charge or you can purchase a printed book from www.davidpawson.com
Is David's sheet listing the prophecies in Daniel 11 included in one of his books about Daniel, perhaps? I can't see it in the 'Unlocking the Bible' book, but don't have the accompanying book of charts.

@@DavidPawsonMinistry Many thanks. Yes, I found it, and it is called "Insert_AK01-12". This is in fact included in the 'Unlocking the Bible' book on pp662-668. Somehow, I didn't notice that before.
...encouragement to God's people... to stand firm, to do exploits, to bring understanding, to endure suffering, to be refined, to resist evil, and find rest... we belong to the future King of the whole world... the Son of Man...
Thank you sir, l am learning the Bible through your teaching. May God Almighty continue to enrich you sir with His knowledge, wisdom and understanding of His word in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
Thank you for all you do. Finally I am learning how to understand the Bible. What a blessing you are. Thank you God...and may He bless you. I wish you every happiness.
According to the Old Testament, the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was issued “in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king” (Nehemiah 2:1), which was 5th March, 444 BC. 69 x 7 (483) x 360 = 173,880 days leads to 30th March, 33 AD the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, the day on which Jesus was publicly declared the Messiah.
thank you very much for your love for Gods word, how can i get this document that you mentioned that it helps to understand things from a historical perspective??
I hope Mr. Pawson doesn't mind me doing this but hopefully someone will buy his book Unlocking the Bible :-) Historical Events Predicted in Daniel 11:2-35 v. 2 Persia The three rulers after Cyrus were: • Cambyses (529-522 BC), who conquered Egypt • Pseudo-Smerdis (522-521 BC), who got the throne by impersonating the King’s murdered brother and was assassinated by, • Darius I Hystapes (521-486 BC), mentioned in Ezra 5-6. The fourth ruler was Xerxes I (486-465 BC), the Ahasuerus of Esther 1. He was the acme of Persian wealth and power. He invaded Greece in 480 BC but was disastrously defeated at Salamis. vv. 3-4 Greece v. 3 - Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) avenged Greece by defeating Persia and in 12 years established a vast empire of Greek culture, bringing Asia under Europe. He is the ‘he-goat’ of Daniel 8. He died in Babylon at the age of 32. v. 4 - Alexander’s son by Barsina was murdered, and his son by Roxana, born posthumously, was also murdered, so the empire was divided between four generals: • Lysimacus (Thrace, Bithynia and Asia Minor) • Cassander (Macedonia and Greece) • Ptolemy (Egypt) • Seleucis (Syria to Babylon) The last two became ‘south’ and ‘north’ in the rest of Daniel 11 (i.e. in relation to God’s people, Israel, now back in Palestine). vv. 5-35 Egypt and Syria This passage covers 162 years, with Israel ‘caught between the door and hingers’ (Luther) of two interrelated dynasties. The name ‘Syria’ had not appeared in Daniel’s day, so this area is referred to as ‘the north’ only. v. 5 - Ptolemy I Soter (meaning ‘Saviour’) (323-246 BC) ruled Egypt and a close relative, Seleucis I Nicator (312-281 BC), ruled Syria. Both took the title ‘King’ in 306 BC. The latter became stronger, ruling the area from Asia Minor to India, and so became a rival and a threat. v. 6 - Ptolemy II Philadelphus (‘brotherly love’) (285-246 BC) of Egypt persuaded Antiochus II Theos (‘God’) to divorce his wife Laodice and marry his own daughter, Berenice. The union was unsuccessful, both as a marriage and as an attempt to unite the two royal families. When Ptolemy died, Antiochus took Laodice back as his wife, but she murdered him, Berenice and their son. vv. 7-9 A ‘see-saw’ period of battle between the two nations. v. 7 - Berenice’s brother, Ptolemy II Euergetes (‘benefactor’) (246-221 BC) attacked Seleucis Callinicus (247-226 BC) and killed Laodice in revenge. He was victorious throughout the northern kingdom as far as Persia and Media. v. 8 - Ptolemy II returned with Egyptian idols carried away 280 years previously and the populace called him ‘benefactor’ thereafter. v. 9 - Seleucis returned the attack, lost his fleet in a storm, was ignominiously defeated and died after a fall from his horse. vv. 10-20 v. 10 - Two brothers in the north - Seleucis III (226-223 BC), who was assassinated by mutinous troops during battle in Asia Minor, and Antiochus III ‘the Great’ (223-187 BC), who came to power at 18 and spent his life fighting to avenge his father’s humiliation. He swept like a flood as far as Gaza, Egypt’s fortified line. v. 11 - Ptolemy V Philopater (‘love father’) (221-203 BC) met Antiochus the Great with an army of 70,000 soldiers, 5,000 cavalry and 73 elephants at Rahpia in 217. Antiochus was totally defeated, with 10,000 dead and 4,000 taken prisoner and narrowly escaped capture himself. v. 12 - Ptolemy V, through indolence and indulgence, failed to follow up his advantage. Antiochus recovered and went east to India and the Caspian Sea, gaining wealth and strength. v. 13 - When Ptolemy and his queen died mysteriously, Antiochus attacked Egypt again and defeated its army (under General Scopas) at Panias, near the source of the Jordan, later Caesarea Philippi. Scopas fled to Sidon. v. 14 - Others now formed alliances with Antiochus (e.g. Philip of Macedon), including some Jews who thought they were making prophecy come true in seeing Egyptians routed, and expected national independence to follow. Many perished in battle. v. 15 - Sidon was besieged and taken, in spite of an unsuccessful attempt by three Egyptian generals to break the siege. v. 16 - Antiochus made the mistake of occupying Israel as a military base and laid waste the country to support his troops. v. 17 - Threatened by the growing might of Rome, Antiochus sought to unite with Egypt by giving his beautiful young daughter, Cleopatra, as wife to the seven-year-old Ptolemy V Epiphanes (‘glorious’) (204-181 BC). His hope that she would bring Egypt under his control was foiled when she sided with her husband against her father. v. 18 - Antiochus became scornful of growing Roman power - ‘Asia does not concern them [the Romans] and I am not subject to their orders.’ He refused their ambassadors, decided to conquer Greece himself and was humiliatingly defeated by the Roman consul Lucius Scipio Asiaticus at Thermopylae in 191 BC and at Magnesia on the Maeander River in 189 BC. v. 19 - Harsh conditions of peace with Rome sent Antiochus home broken and he was killed while trying to plunder a temple at Elym. He had opened Asia to Rome. v. 20 - Seleucis IV Philater (‘love father’) (187-175 BC) wanted only peace and quiet but had to raise huge taxes to pay tribute to Rome. His finance minister, Heliodorus, came to take treasures from the Temple in Jerusalem, was halted by a supernatural apparition and returned to poison the king. vv. 21-30 Antiochus Epiphanes (‘Glorious’) (175-164 BC). The ‘little horn’ of Daniel 7. The worst tyrant of the Old Testament period. Syria’s power was declining and was soon to give way to Rome. His frustration was to result in bitter persecution of Israel and an attempt to wipe out her religion by desecrating the Temple and imposing Greek culture. v. 21 - His vileness included association with prostitutes and public copulation, avaricious indulgence, cunning and intrigue. His titles ‘Ephipanes’, meaning ‘glorious’ was converted into the nickname ‘Epimanes’, meaning ‘madman’ behind his back. The direct heir to the Syrian throne, Demetrius, was being held as hostage in Rome, so Antiochus seized power in Syria by posing as the guardian of the second in line to the throne, Seleucis IV’s baby son Antiochus, whom he later killed. He gained popularity by promises of less tax and easier laws, which were not kept. v. 22 - At first his military activity was very successful. He gained peace with Rome by paying tribute in arrears and with bribes, then invaded Egypt in 170 BC and defeated Ptolemy V Epiphanes between Gaza and the Nile delta. On the way south he called at Jerusalem and murdered Onias, the High Priest, the virtual ruler of Israel. v. 23 - Though Syria was not a large nation, Antiochus was now able to control Egypt, using two nephews, Ptolemy VI Philometer (181-145 BC) and Ptolemy Euergetes as pawns. v. 24 - He now systematically robbed the richest areas in his grip (e.g. Galilee), using the wealth not for himself (as had previous rulers) but as bribes for favours and in extraordinary prodigality (scattering money in the streets, laying on lavish spectacles etc.). He was also making plans to capture Egyptian cities such as Alexandria. v. 25 - He made another expedition to Egypt with chariots, cavalry and elephants. He corrupted Egypt’s court and they conspired against their king. v. 26 - This led to Egypt’s defeat. v. 27 - Antiochus and Ptolemy Philometer sat round the table, each aiming to outwit the other while making a treaty. Both failed. v. 28 - When Antiochus returned north, he turned to Israel, coveted the wealth of the Temple, massacred 40,000 Jews and sold the same number into slavery. Jason, the High Priest, fled to Ammon. v. 29 - During another expedition to Egypt, he captured his nephew Philometer, but was forced to retreat from Alexandria. v. 30 - During his final expedition to Egypt, Egypt sent an embassy to Rome, who sent ships from Cyprus. Consul Gaius Popilius Laenas demanded Antiochus’ withdrawal from Egypt and Antiochus left in anger, realizing that this was the end of his hopes. vv. 31-35 Antiochus now turned his frustrated anger against the people of God. v. 31 - Jews became his scapegoat and he began a savage persecution (recorded in 1 and 2 Maccabees), using sympathizers within Israel. He forbade worship and sacrifice, erected an image of Jupiter in the Temple and sacrificed a pig on the altar on 25 December 168 BC (this ‘abomination of desolation’ is mentioned in Matthew 24:15). v. 32 - This precipitated the revolt of Mattathias’ priestly family of the Maccabees (‘hammerers’). Under the leadership of Judas, there were many heroic deeds (mentioned in Hebrews 11). Israel was freed and the Temple rededicated on 25 December 165 BC. vv. 33-35 - The surprising effect of persecution was spiritual revival, because of purging and the separation of true from false believers.
In the Prophetic Books, dual prophecies are made about Israel and other peoples. The text sometimes jumps from the past to the times of the prophets and shortly thereafter to the end times. Then the text speaks of the end of days (this age). For example, the text about Tire in Ezekiel speaks the text of Nebuchadnezzar who will destroy Tyre. But further in Ezekiel 28, the text suddenly jumps back in time to the time Satan was thrown to earth. Satan is also referred to as the king of Tyre. In Hes. 32 the text suddenly jumps far into the future towards the end of the millennium, when the people of Ros will attack Israel. There are similar leaps in time in all the Prophetic books.🍀
Always thankful for Unlocking the Bible. I just had a question : I was making research about Antiochos IV. Did he killed the boy ? (Demetrios) It says that he usurped the throne but Demetrios wasn't killed because he succeeded to Antiochos in -162. Maybe I'm doing a mistake and the boy is not Demetrios, then who it is ? Thank you for the answer !

When making a claim for a gap between Daniel's 69th and 70th week, biblical proof must be provided. This gentlemen said quote "I believe" at 23:00, but provided no proof text for the gap theory, and moved on. To this date, no one else has either. It is pure conjecture. The bible does, however, provide proof texts that Daniel's 70th week followed the 69th: A) The Old Covenant ended with John the Baptist: Matt 11:13 "For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John." Therefore, the New Covenant cannot begin without giving Israel her 70 weeks: ---Jesus transitioned the Old into the New Covenant with expanded meaning (lusting in your heart after a woman in the New Covenant is now the same as committing physical adultery was under the Old Covenant, etc.). B) Jesus ministry (baptism or entry into Jerusalem) arrived at the exact moment the 69th week ended. No gap text provided anywhere that Jesus did not complete Daniel 9:24 and was not anointed the Most High. On the contrary, He completed every jot and tittle of that verse. C) Over the following 7 years (so happens that Daniel's 70th week is 7 years long), the gospel was preached to the lost sheep of the House of Israel - Jesus' ministry being the first 3.5 years of the 7 years: ---Jesus was cut off in the middle of the week ending the need for temporary animal sacrifices forever: Heb 10:10 ...we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all]. ---On the cross, He said ...It is finished:... John 19:30. What was finished? Daniel 9:24 - "making an end of sins" by nailing to the cross the condemnation that the Law had placed on mankind and their penalties, and defeating Satan and redeeming back the earth, fulfilling Isiah's prophecy Isa 53:1-12. ---the veil of the Temple was torn in two, thus Jesus became the only way into the Holy of Holies leading to salvation, to the Jew first, and the Gentile, under the "everlasting covenant" promised to Abraham (Gen 17:7), through his seed, and all who come to believe on that seed - Jesus. D) Then, the remaining second half of the final week, the Disciples preached the Gospel exclusively to the Jews for 3.5 years, and the completion of Daniel's 70th week, was upon the rejection by Israel of their Messiah: ---Acts 28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. ---Acts 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it. Therefore, if there is a third temple built, and animal sacrifices restart during the time of tribulation, it will be the ploy of the evil one to discredit the Word of God, make a mockery of the plan of salvation through the once-for-all-time sacrifice of the Lamb of God, and hold up to ridicule Christians, who were never raptured away leaving their clothes behind, and cars and planes didn't crash all over the world, as portrayed in the Left Behind series of Hollywood movies. No gap.
Surely, the reason for a 'gap' is because Daniel himself divided the 70 sevens into 7, then 62, and then talked about "after the sixty-two weeks..." That is where people derive it from. Several key things have not yet been fulfilled, such as "everlasting righteousness" being brought in for the Jews and Jerusalem, and the events of Daniel 9:27. I know some who interpret all 70 weeks as being continuous, with no gap, leading up to Palm Sunday, and think that the 70th week, in grace, will be granted to the Jews again in future - since they rejected their Messiah first time He came. I've seen various books with different calculations, and it's all bit mind-bending. If the Jews had received their Messiah first time, then the prophecy would have been continuous (no gap), but of course God knew that they would reject Him then, and He'd already planned for the Church Age and for millions of Gentiles to come into the promises and new covenant, and benefit from the salvation Christ accomplished. I don't have all the answers; I'd like to study it more.
They (the seed of the iron spirits) will mingle with the clay (the seed of men). There are two different powers here or two different leaderships because the iron rule will be divided. The seed of men will be given a separate authority. This is the government from men, by men, and for men which is different from the government of the iron spirit, bronze, silver, and the spirit of gold. For we know that ancient kingdoms were not really dominated by men but spirits or the gods of this world: the gods of iron, bronze, silver, and the gods of gold. These spirits of the world are still present but men are now given a separate authority to lead the world and they are strong because the iron spirits are mixed with the sons of men. The Lord came and seized, bound, and imprisoned the strong head of the world so that he can enter his world and plunder it and divided it so that it can no longer stand. It is going to fall and be ruined. It is now in its last thousand years. The Lord divided the leadership of Satan's world to weaken it and to free his chosen people who are long waiting for his Day to execute God's fair judgment.

God can and does change the past. He forgives and FORGETS our sins....
Its amazing that GOD chooses to forgive and forget but that does not change the past
- its future - he chooses to remember no more

Historical Events Predicted in Daniel 11:2-35
v. 2 Persia
The three rulers after Cyrus were:
• Cambyses (529-522 BC), who conquered Egypt
• Pseudo-Smerdis (522-521 BC), who got the throne by impersonating the King’s murdered brother and was assassinated by,
• Darius I Hystapes (521-486 BC), mentioned in Ezra 5-6.
The fourth ruler was Xerxes I (486-465 BC), the Ahasuerus of Esther 1. He was the acme of Persian wealth and power. He invaded Greece in 480 BC but was disastrously defeated at Salamis.
vv. 3-4 Greece
v. 3 - Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) avenged Greece by defeating Persia and in 12 years established a vast empire of Greek culture, bringing Asia under Europe. He is the ‘he-goat’ of Daniel 8. He died in Babylon at the age of 32.
v. 4 - Alexander’s son by Barsina was murdered, and his son by Roxana, born posthumously, was also murdered, so the empire was divided between four generals:
• Lysimacus (Thrace, Bithynia and Asia Minor)
• Cassander (Macedonia and Greece)
• Ptolemy (Egypt)
• Seleucis (Syria to Babylon)
The last two became ‘south’ and ‘north’ in the rest of Daniel 11 (i.e. in relation to God’s people, Israel, now back in Palestine).
vv. 5-35 Egypt and Syria
This passage covers 162 years, with Israel ‘caught between the door and hingers’ (Luther) of two interrelated dynasties. The name ‘Syria’ had not appeared in Daniel’s day, so this area is referred to as ‘the north’ only.
v. 5 - Ptolemy I Soter (meaning ‘Saviour’) (323-246 BC) ruled Egypt and a close relative, Seleucis I Nicator (312-281 BC), ruled Syria. Both took the title ‘King’ in 306 BC. The latter became stronger, ruling the area from Asia Minor to India, and so became a rival and a threat.

The union was unsuccessful, both as a marriage and as an attempt to unite the two royal families.

A ‘see-saw’ period of battle between the two nations.

v. 30 - During his final expedition to Egypt, Egypt sent an embassy to Rome, who sent ships from Cyprus. Consul Gaius Popilius Laenas demanded Antiochus’ withdrawal from Egypt and Antiochus left in anger, realizing that this was the end of his hopes.
vv. 31-35
Antiochus now turned his frustrated anger against the people of God.
v. 31 - Jews became his scapegoat and he began a savage persecution (recorded in 1 and 2 Maccabees), using sympathizers within Israel. He forbade worship and sacrifice, erected an image of Jupiter in the Temple and sacrificed a pig on the altar on 25 December 168 BC (this ‘abomination of desolation’ is mentioned in Matthew 24:15).
v. 32 - This precipitated the revolt of Mattathias’ priestly family of the Maccabees (‘hammerers’). Under the leadership of Judas, there were many heroic deeds (mentioned in Hebrews 11). Israel was freed and the Temple rededicated on 25 December 165 BC.
vv. 33-35 - The surprising effect of persecution was spiritual revival, because of purging and the separation of true from false believers.
@@curtisowen thankyou so much
Hello, I was writing David's teachings, but I couldn't see the writings on the board ... where can I get them?
Uwezo Jakes Hi this is Stave on behalf of David please see links below for free downloads
Sorry, where are the links for the notes, please?
I want your handout! ;-)
In the Prophetic Books, dual prophecies are made about Israel and other peoples.
The text sometimes jumps from the past to the times of the prophets and shortly thereafter to the end times. Then the text speaks of the end of days (this age).
For example, the text about Tire in Ezekiel speaks the text of Nebuchadnezzar who will destroy Tyre. But further in Ezekiel 28, the text suddenly jumps back in time to the time Satan was thrown to earth. Satan is also referred to as the king of Tyre. In Hes. 32 the text suddenly jumps far into the future towards the end of the millennium,
when the people of Ros will attack Israel. There are similar leaps in time in all the Prophetic books.🍀
Thank you 🙏❤🙏
Always thankful for Unlocking the Bible. I just had a question : I was making research about Antiochos IV. Did he killed the boy ? (Demetrios) It says that he usurped the throne but Demetrios wasn't killed because he succeeded to Antiochos in -162. Maybe I'm doing a mistake and the boy is not Demetrios, then who it is ? Thank you for the answer !

Why has David not made his books free?
David is no longer with us but Davids Trust does not own the rights to all of his books, so we are not permitted to make all of them available for free. Others however are available to read or download for free
The rights for Unlocking the Bible as one example, which accompanies this video series, is owned by Collins (Harper Collins). The charts and illustrations, however, are available to download free of charge from Davids website
The content of many of Davids books including Unlocking the Bible is available for free via his audio or video recordings
You may be pleased to hear that it is our long term plan to make many of Davids books available to read online as time permits . We currently make one new book available to read every month on Davids website and we also have www.explainingbiblicaltruth.global, a multilingual website which has many of Davids books free to read online or download as a free pdf.
More books will be made available to read on line for free as we are financially able to do so.
When making a claim for a gap between Daniel's 69th and 70th week, biblical proof must be provided. This gentlemen said quote "I believe" at 23:00, but provided no proof text for the gap theory, and moved on. To this date, no one else has either. It is pure conjecture. The bible does, however, provide proof texts that Daniel's 70th week followed the 69th:
A) The Old Covenant ended with John the Baptist: Matt 11:13 "For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John."
Therefore, the New Covenant cannot begin without giving Israel her 70 weeks:
---Jesus transitioned the Old into the New Covenant with expanded meaning (lusting in your heart after a woman in the New Covenant is now the same as committing physical adultery was under the Old Covenant, etc.).
B) Jesus ministry (baptism or entry into Jerusalem) arrived at the exact moment the 69th week ended. No gap text provided anywhere that Jesus did not complete Daniel 9:24 and was not anointed the Most High. On the contrary, He completed every jot and tittle of that verse.
C) Over the following 7 years (so happens that Daniel's 70th week is 7 years long), the gospel was preached to the lost sheep of the House of Israel - Jesus' ministry being the first 3.5 years of the 7 years:
---Jesus was cut off in the middle of the week ending the need for temporary animal sacrifices forever: Heb 10:10 ...we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].
---On the cross, He said ...It is finished:... John 19:30. What was finished? Daniel 9:24 - "making an end of sins" by nailing to the cross the condemnation that the Law had placed on mankind and their penalties, and defeating Satan and redeeming back the earth, fulfilling Isiah's prophecy Isa 53:1-12.
---the veil of the Temple was torn in two, thus Jesus became the only way into the Holy of Holies leading to salvation, to the Jew first, and the Gentile, under the "everlasting covenant" promised to Abraham (Gen 17:7), through his seed, and all who come to believe on that seed - Jesus.
D) Then, the remaining second half of the final week, the Disciples preached the Gospel exclusively to the Jews for 3.5 years, and the completion of Daniel's 70th week, was upon the rejection by Israel of their Messiah:
---Acts 28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
---Acts 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it.
Therefore, if there is a third temple built, and animal sacrifices restart during the time of tribulation, it will be the ploy of the evil one to discredit the Word of God, make a mockery of the plan of salvation through the once-for-all-time sacrifice of the Lamb of God, and hold up to ridicule Christians, who were never raptured away leaving their clothes behind, and cars and planes didn't crash all over the world, as portrayed in the Left Behind series of Hollywood movies.
No gap.
Surely, the reason for a 'gap' is because Daniel himself divided the 70 sevens into 7, then 62, and then talked about "after the sixty-two weeks..." That is where people derive it from. Several key things have not yet been fulfilled, such as "everlasting righteousness" being brought in for the Jews and Jerusalem, and the events of Daniel 9:27. I know some who interpret all 70 weeks as being continuous, with no gap, leading up to Palm Sunday, and think that the 70th week, in grace, will be granted to the Jews again in future - since they rejected their Messiah first time He came. I've seen various books with different calculations, and it's all bit mind-bending. If the Jews had received their Messiah first time, then the prophecy would have been continuous (no gap), but of course God knew that they would reject Him then, and He'd already planned for the Church Age and for millions of Gentiles to come into the promises and new covenant, and benefit from the salvation Christ accomplished. I don't have all the answers; I'd like to study it more.
3:30 compares Calvin's (or biza's) predeterminialism to Islam's inshallah which is really quite fair/practical when boil ideas are broken down
Indeed no spiritual warfare, but then you hint Saddam is the Anti-Christ. An overall excellent review though!
They (the seed of the iron spirits) will mingle with the clay (the seed of men).
There are two different powers here or two different leaderships because the iron rule will be divided. The seed of men will be given a separate authority. This is the government from men, by men, and for men which is different from the government of the iron spirit, bronze, silver, and the spirit of gold.
For we know that ancient kingdoms were not really dominated by men but spirits or the gods of this world: the gods of iron, bronze, silver, and the gods of gold. These spirits of the world are still present but men are now given a separate authority to lead the world and they are strong because the iron spirits are mixed with the sons of men.
The Lord came and seized, bound, and imprisoned the strong head of the world so that he can enter his world and plunder it and divided it so that it can no longer stand. It is going to fall and be ruined. It is now in its last thousand years.
The Lord divided the leadership of Satan's world to weaken it and to free his chosen people who are long waiting for his Day to execute God's fair judgment.
