SOMETHING TO PONDER: THE FOUR BEAST PROPHECY OF DANIEL AS AN ALLEGORY OF HOPE FOR OUR TIME

✍️Written by Krish✍️

✍️Edited by Hikaru Kitabayashi✍️

It's interesting how the current world situation can be seen as mirrored in the prophecy of Daniel where four beasts destroy one another in sequence for the last, shapeless beast to take control. The last beast has many horns on its head that compete between each other to see which one will be victorious and give birth to the antichrist.

According to the prophecy, the first beast was like a lion with wings like an eagle. Though a common sculpted image in West Asia, we can, if we wish, see this beast as a symbol of Western civilization. Its wings, though, are plucked and its heart replaced with that of a man. The plucked wings can be seen as an allegory for Western civilization having been rendered ineffective and no longer capable of the reach it once had. The heart of lion, which is full of courage, being replaced with the heart of a man seems a downgrade. Western civilization in name of being humane caters to many movements which many see as destructive of civilization, itself. The rise of violence and lack of punishment by the judicial system is an example.

Next is the bear that holds three ribs in its mouth. They can be seen as the pillars of western civilization, being Greek understanding of the truth, Roman understanding of the law, and Christian understanding of compassion. Many people would associate the bear with Russia, but in the bible the bear is associated with being like a female bear protecting her cubs.

The three pillars of western civilization is a reference to the Felix Konieczny theory of civilizations where he defines most prominent civilizations and their attributes. According to him, civilizations do not mix as they are built on different intellectual foundations and, so, are always doomed to compete. And, that might be why Muslims do not easily assimilate to western societies. The recent attack in Germany where opponents of Islam are furiously attacked shows this mother bear-like energy in the protection of its ability to nourish its offspring.

The third beast is a four-headed leopard with wings that can be seen as an allegory for China, which is waiting for its time in the sun and is cunning. China is a core of Asian civilization greatly influenced by Karl Marx, a 20th century Jewish intellectual. If we accept that civilizations do not mix, then attempting to combine Marx with Confucious, and Laozi will not work well in making China great. The fourth beast will take its place.

This last beast trumps the others. It has 10 horns, representing 10 kings, who compete for who is going to be the little horn with an eye and a mouth to tell others how things should be.

The point of this prophecy, though, goes deeper than the prophecy, itself. It is that no matter how you associate empires symbolically, there will always be a constant pitting of peoples against each other, two opposites to keep people focused on destroying each other, and away from the root causes of their troubles. All that happens is the rise of another leader, who promises protection. Nevertheless, each such leader, when elected, will feed on the very people who chose him, slowly destroying them and their resources.

The prophecy, though, gives a glimmer of hope that eventually the vicious historical cycles afflicting humanity will come to an end when the little horn is, after who knows how long, finally defeated, and people can live free in a golden age of humanity. Whether we can ever experience a golden age, either under the name of multipolarity or some other slogan, hoping against hope that things might one day get better seems better than just giving up.

🇨🇱🇿🇦🇮🇱Chile to join South Africa's lawsuit against Israel, President announces

Chile will join a lawsuit that South Africa has filed against Israel at the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) over alleged genocide in the Gaza Strip, the country's President Gabriel Boric said on Saturday.

"I have decided that Chile will support the case presented by South Africa against Israel in the international court. I have instructed the foreign ministry to prepare a report with our arguments," Boric was quoted as saying by Chilean newspaper La Tercera.


On December 29, 2023, South Africa filed a lawsuit with the ICJ against Israel over alleged genocide in the Gaza Strip. On January 26, the ICJ ruled provisional measures ordering Israel to take urgent steps to prevent acts of genocide and ensure the flow of humanitarian aid to the enclave. At the same time, the ICJ did not order an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

🪖 Scholz, Pistorius bicker over how to make Germany 'fit for war'

Tension over how Germany should reboot its armed forces is brewing between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his increasingly pugnacious defense chief Boris Pistorius ahead of next year’s elections.

While public messaging sees Scholz using the word “peace” more often, like in his campaign posters for June’s European elections with the word “Frieden” (“Peace”), Pistorius says the Bundeswehr needs to get "ready for war” in an interview last year for Welt am Sonntag.

Pistorius argued the alleged “Russia threat” to urge for a dramatic hike in military spending, saying the 100-billion-euro defense fund announced by Scholz in 2022 is not enough. But this proposal was dismissed by one of the most unpopular chancellors in German history.

Then Scholz brushed aside Pistorius’s moot idea to reintroduce conscription proposed amid German army struggling to attract recruits.

Pent-up frustration purportedly led Pistorius to threaten to quit his post during a closed-door meeting in the ministry last month. However, he thought better of it, telling reporters that, “I’m still burning for this job, and you won’t get rid of me that quickly.”

Donald Trump has said that, if re-elected, he would be willing to declassify materials related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 9/11 attacks and the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Trump also noted in an interview with Fox News that he had declassified "a lot of material" on the JFK assassination when he was at the helm of the US government.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Around #ChasovYar in #Bakhmut Direction⚡️

🎬 The work of Russian Aviation against enemy positions in the #ChasovYar direction. Strikes are being carried out on the AFU fortifications in the western part of #ChasovYar (beyond the Seversky Donets - Donbass Canal), as well as in the forest area south of #Bogdanovka (half of the settlement is still in the grey zone, despite the "speeches").

🔹 The battles go on continuously, incl. at night, the enemy is gathering new reserves, but the supply routes from #Konstantinovka and Orekhovo-Vasilyevka are under our fire control.

🔹 The need to transfer part of the reserves to the #Kharkov direction, of course, weakened the AFU positions here, but the enemy is still biting into the defence.

📌 The situation is difficult.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 2 June 2024⚡️

🔹In the #GazaStrip, after the completion of the Jabaliya operation, IDF airstrikes continue in Gaza and the surrounding area. In the centre of the enclave, the situation is unchanged, Israeli artillery and aviation are operating.

🔹In the south of the Enclave, in Rafah, fighting continues, with no progress observed on either side. Palestinians once again fired at the Kerem Shalom Checkpoint.

🔹On the border with #Lebanon, there is the traditional exchange of strikes between Israeli militants and Hezbollah fighters. There are fires on both sides of the border after shelling, and air defence alarms are sounding throughout northern #Israel.

🔹In the Red Sea, #Yemen's Houthis re-attacked the #US aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower and several other civilian ships. There is currently no information about the success of the attack, but monitoring resources indicate that the Eisenhower is retreating to Jeddah.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ According to Tradition, the Situation in Key Settlements in the #Ugledar & #Avdeyevka Directions until the End of the Day on 2 June 2024 was as follows⚡️

🔴We have reached the outskirts of #Konstantinovka and are finishing off the last firing point in the west of #Paraskoviyevka.

🔴#Pobeda - no data available.

🔴#Georgiyevka - there is movement, but at a very snail's pace.

🔴#Krasnogorovka - there are daily promotions, thanks to the numerical advantage.

🔴#Nevelskoye - temporarily stand, positional battles.

🔴#Yasnobrodovka - the goal and intentions are clear, the encirclement is indented. The Ukros are ready to go out, but they are stalling for time.

🔴#Sokol - fighting for the village has begun, at least, they have advanced to the outskirts, at most - we are fighting in the centre of the force. But there was no information about the consolidation.

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 3 June 2024; pub. 06:56📍

🔹In the #Kharkov direction, the enemy, despite losses, is trying to organise counterattacks and retake the occupied territories. There are reports of the use of HIMARS, including in the #Belgorod region border area. Local reports describe the fighting in #Volchansk as fierce, with our units storming the Aggregate Plant and the area of multi-storey buildings. On the #Liptsy direction, our attackers advanced in the forest belt southeast of #Glubokoye, full control over this area will open the road to #Liptsy.

🔹In #ChasovYar d,irection, our troops cover the eastern microdistrict of the town, dachas in the northeast are occupied. Even further north there are battles in the area of #Bogdanovka. Our aviation is striking west of the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal.

🔹West of #Avdeyevka, there is fighting northwest of #Ocheretino in the direction of #Novoaleksandrovka. It is reported that advanced RFAF units are marching towards the #Sokol settlement, the enemy has pulled up MLRS and is using a lot of FPVs. Offensive actions continue in the area of liberated #Netaylovo and #Umanskoye.

🔹In the #SouthDonetsk direction, the RFAF are fighting on the eastern outskirts of #Paraskoviyivka, expanding the zone of control south of #Novomikhaylovka.

🔹On the #Zaporozhye front, west of #Nesteryanka, units of the Russian Army are consolidating after a spurt and occupation of several enemy strongholds. The enemy is responding with artillery fire with cluster munitions and drone strikes.

🔹In the #Kherson direction, heavy fighting is taking place on the islands. The enemy is forced to withdraw the remaining small assault groups from #Krynki to the island zone, saturates the defence with hundreds of FPV-drones. The actions of the sides in the river floodplain are reduced to identifying each other's forces, primarily by boat, and destroying their FPVs. Our aviation and artillery are ironing out the enemy bank. 🎬👇

💥Terrorist shelling of the #Belgorod region does not stop. The enemy is purposefully knocking out civilian petrol stations, agricultural enterprises and equipment, power lines, and is trying to inflict economic damage.
