We are honored today to have author Mark Davidson join us live and in person here in studio.
Mark is the author of four books, Daniel Revisited, Iran’s Great Invasion, Chronicles of the End Times, and the fourth, Hidden Babylon and Gods Last Warning.
With a masters in engineering AND a student of history, biblical prophecy, geopolitics and economics, Mark combines careful scholarship of world history with insight into prophetic scriptures.
There's a lot going on in this discussion, but don't worry or get frustrated. I'm providing links below where you can learn everything you want to know at your own leisure and pace.
The Four Signposts are four events to occur in the Middle East, all prior to the Tribulation, and involving Mideast Muslim nations. This perspective and analysis differs greatly from traditional and past interpretations of whom to watch for in understanding who the players are in Daniel 7, Daniel 8, and Revelations 6:1-8.
Mark makes the case in his book, Daniel Revisited, that he has identified Four Signposts to observe leading up to the tribulation.
The First Signpost has already occurred, when Iraq's government was changed from something brutal to something more civilized.
Second - Iran's military is to conquer and occupy most of the Middle East, starting a major Sunni-Shia War.
Third - Turkey allies with three other Sunni nations to take back the Middle East and conquer Iran, making one great nation across the Middle East.
Four - The single great nation breaks into four, and the man to be Antichrist reunites them, and not only the four, but six more, to make the ten that will rule with Antichrist.
The Four Signpost interpretation is obtained from a non-traditional and literal reading of Daniel 7, Daniel 8, and Revelation 6:1-8. All three passages speak of the same four events.
Mark's website is www.foursignposts.com, which by the way, is what we'll be discussing today and next weeks show.
What are the FOUR SIGNPOSTS we should be looking for as we crawl or spiral closer to end of days.
One last closing clarification. In Daniel 2:40 and 9:26 tell us (with help from history) from where and whom the Antichrist will come.
Daniel 2:40 says the iron leg empire breaks up the other empires in the image. Rome never conquered Persia, but Islam conquered all of them.
Daniel 9:26 says the people who destroyed the Temple in AD 70 are the ancestors of the Antichrist. The Roman Tenth Legion that destroyed the Temple, was not composed of Italians, but Syrians.
