And more indications pile up pointing to Donald Trump as the king of the north in Daniel 11:37...but he will magnify himself over everyone. 38  But instead he will give glory to the god of fortresses; to a god that his fathers did not know he will give glory by means of gold and silver and precious stones and desirable things.

This god of fortress has been explained to mean military spending. And this is something Donald Trump has increased. He thinks this is a top priority. Here is a news clip commenting on that.

@TrueTomHarley The angel explained what the vision means that 3 horns were plucked off before him: 

Daniel 7:24 "As for the ten horns, ten kings will rise up out of that kingdom; and still another one will rise up after them, and he will be different from the first ones, and he will humiliate three kings."

I have been looking who those 3 kings would be? They should be a part of the same beast. So they should be 3 significant "western"  countries. 

Trump has been harsh against many countries, but could it be Germany, France and UK?

  1. Trump has been hard on Merkel, Germany and the Nord Stream gas pipeline from Russian to Germany.
  2. Trump has been hard on Macron and France.
  3. Trump was hard on Theresa May UK, and just recently Trump "tore into" Boris Johnson over Huawei. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/07/politics/donald-trump-boris-johnson-huawei/index.html

You should hear him carry on about Mexico whenever they cross him.

I just saw tv commentators talk about their fear of Trump revenge on his enemies. This is something actually prophecied in Daniel 8 in the prophecy about the fierce-looking king. Quite interesting.

Daniel 8:23 And in the final part of their kingdom, as the transgressors act to a completion, a fierce-looking king who understands ambiguous sayings*will stand up. 24  His power will become great, but not through his own power. He will bring ruin in an extraordinary way, and he will be successful and act effectively. He will bring mighty ones to ruin, also the people made up of the holy ones.+ 25  And by his cunning he will use deception to succeed; and in his heart he will exalt himself; and during a time of security he will bring many to ruin. He will even stand up against the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hand.

Among those who will be brought to ruin could be his political opponents.

How old are you Kosonen?

Your naivete bespeaks that you are in your mid 20's, having no idea whatsoever how things have ALWAYS worked.

Politics is war ... without the bloodshed.

It always has been.

HINT: stop watching NBC (Nothing but Clinton Network), CBS (Clinton B S Network), and ABC (Allabout Clinton Network), and the insane progressive Snowflakes, and get ANY AM  talk radio station ( available on the Internet), and LISTEN to what they have to say about current events.

You will learn more.

And more to the point, what you learn will be less likely to be wrong, so your ideas will be less like that of a brainwashed teenager with a mind full of mush.

      Install Azure CLI on Windows

      By Mic Drop · Posted

      https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-windows?tabs=azure-cli The Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI) is a cross-platform command-line tool that can be installed locally on Windows computers. You can use the Azure CLI for Windows to connect to Azure and execute administrative commands on Azure resources. The Azure CLI for Windows can also be used from a browser through the Azure Cloud Shell or run from inside a Docker container. For Windows, the Azure CLI is installed via an MSI or a ZIP package, which gives you access to the CLI through the Windows Command Prompt (CMD) or PowerShell. When you perform an installation for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), packages are available for your Linux distribution. See the main install page for the list of supported package managers or how to install manually under WSL. The current version of the Azure CLI is 2.62.0. For information about the latest release, see the release notes. To find your installed version and see if you need to update, run az version.

      By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.

      Hello, Darlene, I just love your name, I had a cousin named Darline, and had a classmate also named Darlene! It's a pleasure to know another Darlene! Especially a Spiritual Sister! There's some websites, Ministry Ideaz , JW Stuff.com, and Etsy that I use to order my yearly buttons for the Conventions! They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order!  You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
