Zechariah chapter 9 has held an interest for me as it is an interesting and encompassing prophesy of which some has come to be and some has not.
The reason the interest holds for me is the verse in the chapter which mentions Greece in a coming time at war with the Israelites of Ephraim which is the title name of the British and Americans, joined with the sister tribe of Judah.
The reason that is calling for attention is the fact that Greece has been in horrendous upheaval and under attack, with Socialists in control of a mob on strike now. In history, the first anti christ was Antiochos Epiphanes, a Greek who headed Alexander the Great's divided empire in the Syrian division.
As God has duality in Scripture, a second anti christ will appear as is noted in Daniel, Revelation and the Apostles. The type of hardships the world over, the unrest in Europe and the turmoil in Greece would indicate this would be a perfect environment for a charismatic leader to come forward, just as Barack Obama was conjured forward for his appointment with destiny as a son of wrath.
Chapter 9 is an interesting mix in speaking of the regional powers from the standpoint of Jerusalem. Tyrus is mentioned for her great wealth and Tyrus is mentioned in a prophecy in Ezekiel in context with satan.
A gleaning is hinted at for the Philistines in Asheklon being uninhabited, but then verse 9 quotes the Palm Sunday event of Christ entering Jerusalem.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Daughter of Zion and Jerusalem, signifies another manifestation of the original Daughter who came out of Egypt. This is the Daughter of the return from Babylon.
Immediately verse 13 jumps to an end prophetic time in having mentioned that the Anglo Americans will have dominion all through the earth and speak peace to the world :
When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
This indicates that Judah will be the bow bent in Orion the Archer's hand as in the Christ, and the deliverer of the war will be the Anglo Americans. The target in this will be Greece.
What is interesting is Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome were the empires. The quote of Jesus coming to Jerusalem as King would take place during Rome. Zechariah is from an earlier time period and the Greeks under Alexander never fought a pitched battle with the Israelites or Judahites. This then points to a future time of history to yet be fulfilled.
Granted the Israelites in exile when they came pouring out of Asia and known as the Scythians did cause great havoc for the Greeks, this is not what verse 13 is speaking of.
Verse 15 clarifies the battle in:
The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.
There is a coming war in which God Himself as Lord of Hosts will defend all 13 tribes of Israel engaged with what is a reborn empire led by Greece out of Europe.
That is why being aware of Rome's preeminence in this as the seat of the Whore of Babylon, the false religion which fornicates with the world governments, that just as Nazi Germany with Italy was the last incarnation of the Beast of Revelation, it is logical on points to note that Greece was of this empire guild. The Babylonian exiles moved into southern Italy and the Assyrians who formed the framework of Empire were the Germans of today, that the Beast of this empire which is to form out of Europe, does contain 3 of the 4 empires of antiquity in peoples.
Persia toppled Babylon, was at war with Greece who toppled the Persian empire, the Parthians resisted Rome. Persia is listed as a counter surge against the Europeans with the kings of the east assembled at Armegeddon, so all 4 empirical peoples will play a part in what is to unfold.
The first anti christ was Greek and the last anti christ in logic will be Greek. He is noted to make war on the Saints and turns vigorously on the Catholic religion after using it to cement power.
The turmoil then in Greece should be monitored as she is in upheaval and is being dictated to by the European Union powers. Her government is in debt, but she is a powerful economic force coupled with Italy and Germany which form the central European axis.
There is a verse about subduing three kings, but the 10 toes are a 10 nation empire which unites.
I have noted that the French and lowland countries into Scandinavia are Israelite, along with Britain. The old ancestral lines always break east west in the wars. This should carve out then 10 nations starting with Germany and ending in Greece for this empire when it forms.
As every indication notes this is the last days period, it means the anti christ is alive and this son of perdition now has a cauldron from which to spring to bring answers and false peace to the world in a most miraculous way in replacing the imbecile Barack Obama.
Europe craves this tyrant and all he needs do is appear and crack the iron fist.
I do pray God moves this along as I have suffered enough and am ready to move on. The devil is in the details in this literally, but Jesus the Christ is the One in Authority over this almost final act to be accomplished.
Come Lord Jesus, quickly, Amen and Amen.
The best place to end this.
