REACHING EGYPT'S TREASURES.

"He* will reach out to land after land, and Egypt will not escape. He* will gain control of her hidden stores of gold and silver and of all her treasures; Libyans and Cushites will follow in his* train." (Dan 11:42,43 NEB). "He" = satan.

During the "appointed times" satan reached out and gained control of Egypt's treasures: 'As early as 1971, the Egyptian general staff had begun planning for a giant equipment pool for the next war with Israel; Libya's first squadron of French Mirages was included… Algeria made a considerable contribution of men and machinery, and much of its heavy equipment was still sitting in Egypt. Boumedienne told Shazly that Sadat was welcome to keep it "as long as you give me a receipt so that we can close our books". Shazly wrote out the receipt. The wealth of Egypt was reached in paying for implements of war.' (See: 'Libyan Sandstorm.' by B. Cooley. Pg.110-112).

ARABS ATTEMPT TO PITCH THEIR "ROYAL PAVILIONS" ON OCTOBER 7th 1973.
'In 1971, Sadat summoned Shazly, whose first task was 'to push the Soviets into supplying us on a larger scale than ever before'. 'A Soviet delegation arrived on May 19' (1971). 'Shazly is the brilliant U.S.-trained Egyptian staff officer who planned and led the successful Egyptian assault across the Suez against the Israelis on October 7' (1973). 'A Libyan armoured brigade was also on hand to fight with other units from Algeria, Morocco, Iraq, Tunisia, Syria, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.' ('Libyan Sandstorm.' Pg.110-112).

"LIBYANS AND CUSHITES WILL FOLLOW IN HIS TRAIN." (DAN 11:43 NEB).
Evidence of the demonic power of dictatorships opposing the Kingdom of God can clearly be seen fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel: Military dictatorships govern Egypt, Libya and Ethiopia. (Dan 11:40-45). Recently, militant rebel groups in Ethiopia have acknowledged the futility of killing their own people to establish their aims, as they cannot rule over the dead. (See: The Signal of Ethiopia on Page 20/7/84 and of Egypt on Page 6/8/84).

Note how the events described in the book 'Libyan Sandstorm' run concurrently with the revealing of the "disgusting thing" of Matthew 24:15: 'A new press law issued in June 1972 forbade newspapers to criticize the revolution or Islam or to call for rule by any class or individual in Libyan society'. (Pg.279). Now compare this with the events described in the 1975 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses# explaining their setting up of the "disgusting thing" that is their# (new) 'congregational arrangement'. (See Pages 841 and 849 of the "Little Scroll").

'Qaddafi said he was ceding to "popular pressure" and would be a candidate for president after all. In the event, there was no election and no president'. (Pg.136). But as it turned out, "popular pressure" proved to be his will as leader of an autocracy over the Libyan people. 'Qaddafi explained… God had told the Prophet Mohammed to consult people, but then 'when determined' about a matter, to go ahead and do it and 'rely on God'. (Pg.135). Rule by dictatorship or by the "popular pressure" of the people (demoncracy) is certainly not relying upon God, but upon demonic control of the people. Relying upon Almighty God is to rely upon His Holy Word.

"A GOD THAT HIS FATHERS DID NOT KNOW".
"But to the god of fortresses, in his position he* will give glory; and to a god that his fathers did not know he* will give glory by means of gold and by means of silver and by means of precious stone and by means of desirable things." (Dan 11:38). The "god of fortresses" is government by military force (dictatorship). A "god that his fathers did not know" is the "disgusting thing" of unsealed apostate JW 'elders' installed in Christ's congregations to usurp the authority of faithful anointed brothers of The Christ. (Matt 24:15) (Dan 11:30 32).
