Today’s Reading:
Joshua 21
Daniel 2
Daniel 11
Daniel 12
So Yahweh gave Israel all the land he had promised their ancestors. They took possession of the land and settled there. Yahweh kept his promise and gave them peace in the land just as he had promised to their forefathers. Not one of their enemies could stand against them. Yahweh didn’t break a single promise that he made to the people of Israel. He faithfully kept every promise he made to them.
Joshua 21:43-45 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
I’m giving you rest from your enemies. I’m giving you rest on all sides. I’m giving you rest in your soul. You are nearing a moment and a time where you will be at rest. You will have rest, relief and peace from the Prince of Persia.
“In the days of those kings of iron and clay, the God of heaven will set up an eternal kingdom that will never be destroyed nor ruled by other people. It will shatter and bring all other kingdoms to an end, and it will stand forever! This is the meaning of what you saw in your vision: a rock cut out of a mountain—but not by human hands—a rock that shattered the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold to pieces is his eternal kingdom. The Great God has revealed to you, the king, what will take place after this. The dream is true, and its interpretation trustworthy.”
Daniel 2:44-45 TPT
The one they call the Great Satan will deliver devastating blows to the kingdom of the Prince of Persia and the one that they call Little Satan will deliver the final, destructive blows to what remains of its foundations. And then you will experience rest and peace, the world will experience rest and peace in a way it has not known.
“Then reports will come from the east and the north that will trouble him, and he will set out with furious rage to bring death and complete destruction to many. He will pitch his lavish royal tents between the sea and the beautiful mountain of the holy temple. Yet he will come to his end all alone, with no one to stand with him.”
Daniel 11:44-45 TPT
The Prince of Persia will be bound, unable to roam freely, unable to harass, antagonize and destroy. And the land will be at rest on all sides. You will see this in your day. You will see this today. In this moment. It is not a season away.
Scribe’s Note:
Read Daniel 2:40-45.
The fourth kingdom described is the one I saw in a vision this morning. I strongly feel that this is a now word, and we are witnessing the destruction of this fourth kingdom, which is identified as Rome in the book of Daniel. The modern day City of London was established around AD 43-50 as the Roman settlement of Londinium shortly after the Roman invasion of Britain under Emperor Claudius. The City of London/ British Empire is well described in Daniel 7:23-25, as it has controlled global financial networks and has long covertly instigated ongoing instability, unrest and war in the Middle East and throughout the world.
I believe the Lord is saying that we are in this time where the Ancient of Days has ruled in favor of the saints of the Most High God. He is executing judgment against the fourth kingdom which is the City of London/British Empire that has controlled, dominated, manipulated, persecuted, extorted and destroyed the people of God for centuries. The Prince of Persia has been an enabling principality of darkness propping up that Empire, but that principality is now being bound at the direction of the Lord. This is playing out in real time, and we are observing it as the war on Iran being waged by the U.S. and Israel. I have a lot more studying and praying to do to grasp what all of this means, but the scripture is clear on what happens when the Lord weighs in against this fourth kingdom on behalf of the saints —
”But when the heavenly court convenes, his ruling power will be stripped from him. His authority will be abolished and destroyed forever. Then the Most High will give to his holy ones the kingdom and the dominion and the grandeur of all the kingdoms on earth. All rulers and authorities will serve and obey him, for his kingdom is everlasting.”
Daniel 7:26-27 TPT
How to Respond
- Worship the Lord.
- Pray, Lord, bring Your perfect peace. Give skill, insight, wisdom and precision to those leading and executing the operations that You have directed and which You intend to use to bring peace to the world. Bind that Prince of Persia Lord, and cause his antagonism and evil to be silenced and bound with him. Release Your perfect peace in the Middle East, in Jerusalem, in the United States of America and in the world.
- Declare, I heard the man answer who was dressed in linen, hovering above the river. He raised his hands to heaven and swore by him who lives forever, “A time, and two times, and half a time. All this persecution will not end until the opposition of God’s holy people is completely crushed.” “Blessed are those who wait and faithfully endure to the end of the 1,335 days. As for you, be at peace and rest; and you will rise for your reward at the end of the age.”
— Daniel 12:7, 12-13 TPT - Decree, The war operations in Iran are much more than meet the eye. They are part of an ancient spiritual war as much as they are about a modern physical war. The Lord is dethroning the Prince of Persia with American and Israeli military strikes. And the Prince of Persia will be bound at the direction of the Lord God Almighty. The antagonism, destruction and harassment that this wicked principality stirs up will also be bound with him. As the Prince of Persia is bound, the fourth kingdom which has long been enabled by that evil principality will be finally toppled.When that happens the world will experience a level of peace we have never known.
