'Beginning of Sorrows – 4th Seal'
Dan 11:40 "At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through."
Endtime King of the North
Is there a possibility of Iran (Persia), Iraq, Syria and Lebanon forming the Northern Alliance?
Iran–Iraq War (1980 to 1988)
Wikipedia – The 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution refers to events involving the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty under Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, who was supported by the United States, and eventual replacement of 2500 years of continuous Persian monarchy with an Islamic Republic under the Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the revolution, supported by various Islamist and leftist organizations, and student movements.
Note: - It will be perilous for both Jews and Christians if the Antichrist is the direct descendent of King Cyrus from the family of the Pahlavi.
The Islamic Revolution replaced the Shah of Persia, supported by the US with a Shia Islamic clergy. In 1980, Saddam Hussein of Iraq declared war with Iran and the eight years Iran-Iraq war cost the lives of possibly a million lives and hundreds of billions of US dollars in damages to both sides.
Syria–Iraq Relationship
Ever since King Faisal ascended the Iraqi throne in the early 1920s, Iraqi leaders have dreamed of unifying the two countries. Even during the last years of Saddam Hussein, relations between the two countries were not good.
Arab Uprising since 2011
The whole Arab world was facing the Arab Spring with street protests and uprisings and the successful revolutions saw the removal of the governments of Egypt, Tunisia and Libya and the developments of civil wars in Syria, Yemen and others.
US supported the Shia government in Iraq (60% Shia) but supported the Sunni rebels in Syria (minority Shia government) with finance and military weapons.
The ISIS Caliphate
IS or ISIS surged onto the international stage when the Sunni jihadist overran the fleeing Shia Iraqi military. They were joined by the Sunni rebels from Syria. Within a short period, they lay hold of most of the US weapons. They captured a large area in both Syria and Iraq. They declared a caliphate bearing the infamous black jihadist flag after they seized control of Mosul in 2014.
Military support of Iran
IS Sunni Caliphate was trying to remove the Shia governments in both Syria and Iraq. The Iranian Shia government immediately sent support to both countries to neutralize IS advances.
The Northern Alliance
The governments of Iran, Iraq and Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon have since formed the military alliance (Northern Alliance) to fight against IS. With the help of Russia and indirectly US and the West, IS is almost annihilated from Iraq and Syria.
Start of World War 3
No thanks to IS, the impossible 'Northern Alliance' is possibly in place. Also, no thanks to Iran's nuclear and missile programs, the Southern Alliance comprising Israel and Egypt is expected soon. Chittim (Western nations) will assist Israel to fight Iran's proxy in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and finally Iran itself.
