It was impervious to most forms of attack; consequently, the Germans invaded through the <a title=\"Low Countries\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Low_Countries\">Low Countries<\/a> in 1940, passing it to the north. The line, which was supposed to be fully extended further towards the west to avoid such an occurrence, was finally scaled back in response to demands from <a title=\"Belgium\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Belgium\">Belgium<\/a>. Indeed, Belgium feared it would be sacrificed in the event of another German invasion.

It involves a demonically-led force which causes torment (perhaps involving a plague of germ or chemical warfare) for those not having the seal of God (Revelation 9:4)\u2014thus those of the 144,000 who were sealed in Revelation 7:4 are not tormented by this.<\/p>\n<p>This woe looks to involve at least some of the European King of the North\u2019s military and is consistent with something from Daniel:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>44 <\/sup>But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. (Daniel 11:44)<\/p>\n<p>Looking at this verse, what could be north and east of the European Beast power?<\/p>\n<p>Russia, for one, which is both in Europe and Asia. Daniel suggests that it, and some of its allies, will face some of the fury of the King of the North as part of the first woe.<\/p>\n<p>Despite some erroneous claims, Russia, itself, is NOT the prophesied \u201cKing of the North,\u201d but it is prophetically pointed to as the power of \u201cthe far north\u201d (cf. Ezekiel 38:6, 39:1-2).<\/p>\n<p>Going on from the first woe comes the second woe:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>12<\/sup> One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>13<\/sup> Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, <sup>14<\/sup> saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, \u201cRelease the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.\u201d <sup>15<\/sup> So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. <sup>16<\/sup> Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. <sup>17<\/sup> And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. <sup>18<\/sup> By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed \u2014 by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. <sup>19<\/sup> For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>20<\/sup> But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. <sup>21<\/sup> And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. (Revelation 9:12-21)<\/p>\n<p>Such a massively large army was not possible to be put together when Jesus had John pen the Book of Revelation in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> century. In the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, however, it is possible, and that army would be expected to include Chinese, Indian, Russian, and other Asian peoples.<\/p>\n<p>The European Beast empire will not last, but will fear what is coming.<\/p>\n<p>Notice also the following from the Hebrew scriptures:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>2<\/sup> \u2026 A people come, great and strong, The like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them, Even for many successive generations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>3<\/sup> A fire devours before them, And behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, And behind them a desolate wilderness; Surely nothing shall escape them. <sup>4<\/sup> Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; And like swift steeds, so they run. <sup>5<\/sup> With a noise like chariots Over mountaintops they leap, Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, Like a strong people set in battle array.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>6<\/sup> Before them the people writhe in pain; All faces are drained of color. (Joel 2:2-6)<\/p>\n<p>During the second woe, the 200,000,000 man army looks to tie in with Joel 2:2 which discusses some of that army\u2019s expected actions.<\/p>\n<p>Before going further, understand that current projects like China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative and Europe\u2019s Global Gateway are looking to connect Asia, Europe, and the Middle East in ways that look to be building infrastructure that a 200 million man army would use in order to get to Europe and the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Peoples prophetically called Medes are also shown to destroy the final Babylon according to both Isaiah and Jeremiah:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>1<\/sup> The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>17<\/sup> \u201cBehold, I will stir up the Medes against them,<br \/>\nWho will not regard silver; And as for gold, they will not delight in it. <sup>18 <\/sup>Also their bows will dash the young men to pieces, And they will have no pity on the fruit of the womb; Their eye will not spare children. <sup>19<\/sup> And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The beauty of the Chaldeans\u2019 pride, Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. (Isaiah 13:1, 17-19)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>11<\/sup> Make the arrows bright! Gather the shields! The Lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes. For His plan is against Babylon to destroy it,<br \/>\nBecause it is the vengeance of the Lord, The vengeance for His temple. (Jeremiah 51:11)<\/p>\n<p>The fact that there are multiple kings of the Medes indicates that powers involved in this end time confederation represent multiple governments. This would seem to include Russia, Belarus, and likely Crimea, Donbas, and some others in Ukraine, some in Moldova, perhaps some from the nation of Georgia, and some in Iran, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Anciently, \u201cDarius the Mede\u201d (Daniel 5:31) conquered old Babylon\u2014modern &#8220;Medes&#8221; will help do the same to the end-time daughter of Babylon.<\/p>\n<p>The following passages seem also to apply:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>8<\/sup> \u201cMove from the midst of Babylon, Go out of the land of the Chaldeans; And be like the rams before the flocks. <sup>9<\/sup> For behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon An assembly of great nations from the north country, And they shall array themselves against her; From there she shall be captured. Their arrows shall be like those of an expert warrior; None shall return in vain. (Jeremiah 50:8-9)<\/p>\n<p>Those who believe the Bible should leave the midst of end-time Babylon by then. Certainly, the above \u201cnorth country\u201d includes Russia, but other passages clearly point to others from Asia being involved (Jeremiah 51:27-29).<\/p>\n<p>Notice some of what will happen to the coming European Babylonian Beast power led by a power from the farthest parts of the earth (Russia is the nation that is the farthest east and close to being the farthest north nation):<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">22 Thus says the Lord: \u201cBehold, a people comes from the <strong>north country, And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">23 They will lay hold on bow and spear; They are cruel and have no mercy; Their voice roars like the sea; And they ride on horses, As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">24 We have heard the report of it; Our hands grow feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, Pain as of a woman in labor. 25 Do not go out into the field, Nor walk by the way. Because of the sword of the enemy, Fear is on every side. 26 O daughter of my people, Dress in sackcloth And roll about in ashes! Make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us. (Jeremiah 6:22-26)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">41 \u201cBehold, a people shall come from the north, And a great nation and <strong>many kings<\/strong> Shall be raised up <strong>from the ends of the earth<\/strong>. 42 They shall hold the bow and the lance; They are cruel and shall not show mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea; They shall ride on horses, Set in array, like a man for the battle, Against you, O daughter of Babylon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">43 \u201cThe king of Babylon has heard the report about them, And his hands grow feeble; Anguish has taken hold of him, Pangs as of a woman in childbirth. \u00a0(Jeremiah 50:41-43)<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cgreat nation\u201d from the \u201cfarthest parts of the earth\u201d includes Russia. There are also nations that will be confederate with it. Those would also include China and other nations in Asia, and particularly in the Far East. The \u201cDaughter of Babylon\u201d Jeremiah referred to is not ancient Babylon, but the end-time European power. The \u201ckings \u2026 from the ends of the earth\u201d seem to include South Africa and India, which are BRICS nations which have also conducted military drills with Russia and China.<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a> Some nations in South America may also be involved as they seem to be part of the \u201cends of the earth.\u201d Consider that Brazil and Russia already have a variety of military agreements.<a href=\"#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\">[ii]<\/a> When the \u201cdaughter of Babylon\u201d is in the process of falling, many will abandon supporting it. Jeremiah 50 is part of the second woe.<a href=\"#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\">[iii]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second woe, according to scripture, ends 3 \u00bd days after the two witnesses are killed per Revelation 11:7-14. That is quickly followed by the third woe and the blowing of the 7<sup>th<\/sup> trumpet (Revelation 11:14-15).<\/p>\n<p>Jesus returns with this trumpet (1 Thessalonians 4:16) which is also the last trumpet when Christians rise up (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52). While that is comforting for Christians (1 Thessalonians 4:18), this angers the nations (Revelation 11:15-18).<\/p>\n<p>So, the nations that gathered in Armageddon to fight the forces of the Beast, despite issues between them, will unite to fight Jesus, Himself! This is also described in Zechariah 14 and Joel 3.<\/p>\n<p>The third woe releases the seven last plagues (Revelation 15:1), with victorious Christians then pictured on the sea of glass (Revelation 15:2).<\/p>\n<p>During the third woe, when God sends corrective punishments, because the non-Christians refused to repent:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>9<\/sup> And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. (Revelation 16:9)<\/p>\n<p>Notice something else that happens during this third woe:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>12<\/sup> Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. <sup>13<\/sup> And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. <sup>14<\/sup> For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>15<\/sup> \u201cBehold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><sup>16<\/sup> And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. (Revelation 16:12-16)<\/p>\n<p>Forces from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean would be expected to gather related to \u2018Armageddon\u2019 as \u201cthe whole world\u201d (Revelation 16:13-16) will be involved.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> Maromo J.

In February of 2023, Russia, China, and South Africa held joint naval drills. In the Fall of 2022, India, Russia, and China held joint military exercises. Brazil also has a military cooperation agreement with Russia. The Book of Revelation uses the term woe three times in chapter 8 verse 13\u2013those woes are then discussed in later chapters. Could the BRICS nations, along with the coming Babylonian European Beast power be involved in all three of the woes? Do the BRICS nations want to push aside the USA dollar? Is one of the woes tied to the rise of a 200,000,000 man army? Is there any connection to the second woe and the two witnesses? Do the woes correspond with the last of the seven trumpets in the Book of Revelation? Is one of the woes tied to Armageddon? Does Jesus return with the seventh trumpet?
