It is written the armed forces of the north occupy Jerusalem for the final 42 months before the coming of christ. It is at this time that the saints in Israel are persecuted and put to death.
Comparing Daniel and Revelation, we find this time period to match the time period of the second beast in rev 13.
Now it seems interesting that both the armed forces of the north and this second beast both have authority in Jerusalem at the exact same time. But it gets even more interesting because there are two witnesses in Jerusalem at yet the exact same time performing great signs and wanders just like this second beast.
Now what I find most interesting in reading about these two witnesses, the second beast, and the armed forces is they are sharing the same city without coming into conflict with each other. They all three have the same characteristics even.
The two witnesses are obviously two leaders of the Gentiles who accompany them in revelation 11:2.
The two horns of the second beast dignify two leaders or rulers.
But what I find most astounding in all this is the word "fire" which comes out of the mouths of the two witnesses.
When they speak the word "fire" thier enemies are killed.
Yes the same word "fire" that is used in the armed forces of the north occupying Jerusalem at that same time to kill your enemies.
Now that is astounding. John had penned the armed forces fire command coming from the mouth of a witness thousands of years before the fire command existed. The Bible never ceases to amaze me.
