Interesting and everything that is happening points to it
I often post that we are leaving the Age of Pisces and entering the Age of Aquarius which will see a spiritual awakening of humankind
I don’t see it as a biblical spiritual awakening as organized religion like organized politics is restrictive, divides people and benefits the rich
I will leave it there for now

What you are saying is not controversial. In fact, according to the Bible, the great tribulation is what starts the process that leads to Armaggeddon.
What starts the great tribulation is mankind, specifically the Governments turning against Religion on a whole.
It classifies these Religions as false. What then spurs Armaggeddon, is when God's people today are then perssecuted....
So trust me, witnesses know too well the scurge of religion.

Prophecies like this is what makes faith i the Bible grow.
How could the Bible predict that at one point there would be a Government by the people like we have today, that will be the World Power, but be so different from other world powers before it.
Where else too, can you get such clear explanation of prophecies?
We here just had out Pure Worship Convention....happening all over the World....really some timely info on where to find and identify Oure Worship.
It is out there folks.
But that is all i will say on the matter.
We each are respomsible for living the life we got.

The great scourge of religion is that there are very few Christians in Christianity, like there are few adherents to the true word of their religions.
Many may believe they are who they think they are, but they are fakes overtaken by personal greed, power and hate towards their fellow man.

To claim that this is a fulfillment of Daniels prophecy is not at all accurate and displays a very surface /light understanding of Daniels prophetic writings.

In that black book of fables...it predicted Trump was coming?
God smote over 25 million people.
Satan, the bad guy, only 14 people....
Great cults are religions.

Let’s take a closer look at a few of Daniel’s key prophecies, compare them with historical events, and discuss why it’s important to exercise caution before making direct or absolute claims about fulfillment.
Daniel 2: The Statue Dream
Prophecy Summary:
Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a statue made of four metals (gold, silver, bronze, iron/iron & clay), which is destroyed by a stone.
Common Historical Correlations:
Head of Gold: Babylonian Empire (Nebuchadnezzar himself)
Chest and Arms of Silver: Medo-Persian Empire
Belly and Thighs of Bronze: Greek Empire (Alexander the Great)
Legs of Iron: Roman Empire
Feet of Iron and Clay: Often interpreted as divided Rome or later European kingdoms
Cautions:
Some scholars argue the “four kingdoms” may not map perfectly onto these empires, especially regarding the transition from Greece to Rome.
The “stone” is sometimes seen as the coming of Christ, but interpretations vary—some see it as God’s kingdom more generally.
The symbolic language allows for flexibility, so overconfidence in any one mapping can ignore nuances or alternate historical readings.
Daniel 7: The Four Beasts
Prophecy Summary:
Daniel sees four beasts rising from the sea, representing four kingdoms.
Common Historical Correlations:
Similar to Daniel 2, with most scholars mapping the beasts to Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.
The “little horn” on the fourth beast is sometimes linked to Antiochus IV Epiphanes (Greek period) or the Antichrist in Christian tradition.
Cautions:
Some Jewish interpretations see the fourth beast as the Hellenistic kingdoms rather than Rome.
Christian interpreters have sometimes identified the “little horn” with specific historical figures (e.g., the Pope, Napoleon, Hitler), but these are highly speculative.
Daniel 9: The Seventy Weeks
Prophecy Summary:
Seventy “weeks” (sevens) are decreed to bring redemption, anoint the holy one, and end sin.
Common Historical Correlations:
Many Christians interpret the “anointed one” as Jesus, with the timeline fitting (more or less) between the decree to rebuild Jerusalem and Jesus’s ministry.
Jewish interpreters may see the “anointed one” as a high priest or leader during the Maccabean period.
Cautions:
The starting point of the seventy weeks is debated—does it refer to Cyrus’s decree, Artaxerxes, or another event?
The chronology can be stretched or compressed to fit different interpretations.
Some argue the prophecy refers to events already completed before the 1st century CE.
General Principle: Why Caution Is Needed
Symbolic Language: Apocalyptic literature (like Daniel) uses highly symbolic, visionary imagery that resists simple one-to-one historical mapping.
Historical Distance: We might be tempted by hindsight to “fit” events to prophecy, sometimes overlooking context or alternate explanations.
Diverse Interpretations: Both Jewish and Christian traditions have produced multiple, sometimes conflicting, readings of Daniel—often shaped by their own times and concerns.
Avoiding Dogmatism: Overly rigid claims can lead to disappointment, division, or even exploitation.
While historical events often align in intriguing ways with Daniel’s visions, humility and scholarly caution are essential. Prophecy can inspire, warn, and comfort, but pinning it down to one single historical event can ignore its richness and complexity.
