A prophecy in Daniel 11:40-43 mentions Ethiopians by name. It also mentions Iran by the name “king of the south” and a European empire by the name “king of the north.” Our free booklet The King of the South explains this prophecy in great detail. Our free special report titled “Libya and Ethiopia in Prophecy” documents all of the major trends in North and East Africa and shows how they align with Bible prophecy.
The prophecy reads, “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. … But he [the king of the north] shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps” (Daniel 11:40, 43).
Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry asked in “Libya and Ethiopia in Prophecy”: “Why did God inspire the mentioning of Libya and Ethiopia?” He continued:
Every word in God’s inspired Bible has significance. God placed two nations in the same verse as Egypt for a definite reason. This verse states that Libya and Ethiopia are also going to be closely allied with Iran! … So you need to watch Libya and Ethiopia. They are about to fall under the heavy influence or control of Iran, the king of the south. That is why they are subdued in the king of the north victory.That prophecy is easy to understand. The big question is this: Do you believe your Bible?Why would Iran be so interested in getting some measure of control over Libya and Ethiopia? To me, the answer is intriguing.All you need to do is get a good map of the Middle East, with the emphasis on the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Then you can see why the king of the south, or radical Islam, is so interested in an alliance with or control over these two countries (as well as Egypt and Tunisia). They are on the two seas that comprise the most important trade route in the world!Whoever heavily influences or controls Ethiopia will undoubtedly also control the small areas of Eritrea and Djibouti on the Red Sea coastline. These areas only recently became independent of Ethiopia. …You need to continue to watch for Libya and Ethiopia to make a severe and rapid turn into the radical Islamic camp.
Mr. Flurry wrote that in April 2011.
Compare his statements with this one from April 4 of this year, from ihs Jane’s Country Risk Daily Report: “[The] extended Ethiopian state of emergency will continue to suppress protest risk, but likely to increase terrorist attack risk.”
Continue to watch Ethiopia.
