I am sending you a short analysis on Daniel chapter 11. This vision is the 
pearl of great price. (Da.10:14)

Who is "the king of the north"?
Some insightful Bible students noticed, the proof lies in the obvious 
identity that exists between Daniel's "the king of the north" in the last 
days and
Ezekiel's "Gog" of the latter days. By comparing what is said about each of 
them in the two prophecies, it is manifest that they can only be different
titles for the same being.

Ezekiel Chapter 38 and 39 = Daniel 11:45

1. Their geographical position is the same. "Gog's" country is in the north 
part in relation to the Holy Land; as it is written, "Thou shalt come from 
thy
place out of the north parts". "Gog" is therefore "the king of the north", 
his place or country being there.
2. Both of them are adversaries of Israel and invaders of the Holy Land. The 
eleventh chapter of Daniel abundantly proves this in relation to "the king
of the north"; and of "Gog", Yahoueh said: "Thou shalt come up against my 
people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land".
3. The time they invade the land is the same. "The king of the north" 
invades in the last days. Of "Gog" it is said: "It shall be in the latter 
days, and
I will bring thee against my land".
4. The same peoples are named as components of their armies. The Libyans and 
Ethiopians are allies with "the king of the north"; and in the enumeration
of Gog's forces, it says, "Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them".

Who is "Gog"? Which land is the land of "Magog"? Some people think that 
"Gog" is the Devil. But does the context support this idea? Ezekiel wrote 
that
after "Gog's" last attack he will fall and then be buried by the people. 
(Ez.39:4,11) So there is no need to prove that "Gog" represents the Devil as 
we
know that the devil does not have a body of flesh and bone and has no need 
for a grave. Thus, in actuality, whom does "Gog" symbolize?
"Gog" is the chief prince of Meschech and Tubal.

"Meshech, the sixth son of Japheth (Genesis 10:2) is the founder of a tribe 
(1 Chronicles 1:5; Ezekiel 27:13; 38:2,3). They were in all probability the
Moschi people, inhabiting the Moschian Mountains, between the Black and the 
Caspian Seas. In Psalms 120:5 the name occurs simply as a synonym for 
foreigners
or barbarians. "During the ascendency of the Babylonians and Persians in 
Western Asia, the Moschi were subdued; but it seems probable that a large 
number
of them crossed the Caucasus range and spread over the northern steppes, 
mingling with the Scythians. There they became known as Muscovs and gave 
this
name to the Russian nation and its ancient capital by which they are still 
generally known throughout the East" (Easton's Bible Dictionary).
Many ancient sources have clearly identified "Magog" as referring to the 
"Scythians".
One of the earliest references to Magog was made by Hesiod, "the father of 
Greek didactic poetry" who identified Magog with the Scythians and southern
Russia in the 7th century B.C. Hesiod was a contemporary of Ezekiel.
Josephus Flavius clearly identified Magog. "Magog founded the Magogians, 
thus named after him, but who were by the Greeks called Scythians". 
(Josephus,
Antiquities, 1.123; Jerome, Commentary on Ezekiel 38:2)
The Greek historian Herodotus wrote that in the fifth century B.C. the 
Scythians ruled from the Don River, in present southern Russia, to the 
Carpathian
Mountains in central Europe.

Philo, is another historian in the first century A.D. who identified "Magog" 
with southern Russia.

Ancient authorities clearly identified the Scythians as the ancestors of the 
present day Russians.

However, even without that information, the identity of "Magog" is not too 
difficult to figure out. In Ezekiel 38:15, it says: "And thou shalt come 
from
thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee". The 
"north parts" is literally the "extreme, or uttermost" parts of the north.

Who are "the kings of the north" and "south"? Who are the "kings" of this 
chapter?

Daniel 11:2

Since the Prophecy was given in the third year of Cyrus (Daniel 10:1), the 
three kings that were to "stand up yet", that is, "after him", were Cambyses
II, Smerdis the Magian imposter, Darius I Hystaspes.
The fourth king, Xerxes I, stirred up Persia against Greece, which he 
invaded in 480 B.C. but failed to conquer. Since prophecy touches only upon 
important
events and characters, the remaining kings of Persia are omitted, and the 
prophecy jumps over nearly 150 years to the time of Alexander the Great 
336-323
B.C.E.
Daniel 11:3,4

"A valiant king", Alexander the Great, whose kingdom after his death was 
divided into four parts.
1) Seleucus I - who began the Seleucid (Syrian) empire, from Turkey to 
India.
2) Cassander - who took over Macedonia (Greece).
3) Lysimachus - who took Thracia (between Greece and Turkey).
4) Ptolemy I - who ruled over Egypt.
Daniel 11:5

After the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C., the throne of Egypt fell 
to Ptolemy I Soter, the son of Lagus, the king of the south.

"One of his princes", Seleucus I, Nicator ["the king of the north"] also 
rose to power, and took over the region of Syria. He eventually became more 
powerful
than his former Egyptian ruler.

Daniel 11:6

"The daughter of the king of the south" = Berenice II, daughter of Ptolemy 
II Philadelphus.
"The king of the north" = Antiochus II Theos.
Two years after the marriage, Berenice's father (Ptolemy Philadelphus) died.
Antiochus restored Laodice and put away Berenice.
He was then poisoned by Laodice.
Berenice fled with her children to Daphne where she was killed.

Daniel 11:7-9

A "branch of her roots" will come with an army. This was Berenice's brother, 
Ptolemy III Euregetes, "the king of the south".

"The king of the north" is Seleucus II Kallinikos, son of Laodice who was 
defeated in a later invasion of Egypt. He lost most of Asia Minor along with 
losing
to the military expansion of Ptolemy III who put his mother, Laodice, to 
death.

Verse 9: "And [the king of the north] will enter into the kingdom of the 
king of the south, but will return to his own land". (literal translation)

Seleucus II, son of the deceased Laodice, sought revenge for the vengeance 
taken by Ptolemy III. "Justin says that he fitted out a great fleet, which 
was
destroyed by a violent storm; and after this he raised a great army to 
recover his dominion, but was defeated by Ptolemy, and fled in great terror 
and
trembling to Antioch". (Gill's Commentary)

Daniel 11:10-12

His ["the king of the north"] sons = Seleucus III Ceraunus and Antiochus III 
the Great.
"The king of the north" = Antiochus III, the Great.
"The king of the south" = Ptolemy IV Philopator.
Ptolemy IV defeated the much larger army of Antiochus III at the Battle of 
Raphia in 217.

Daniel 11:13-17

"The king of the south" = Ptolemy V Epiphanes.
"The king of the north" = Antiochus III.
Antiochus III gives his daughter Cleopatra I to Ptolemy V, in hopes of 
permanent influence in Egypt.
Verse 14a: "And in those times many will rise against the king of the 
south".
At this time, many of the Egyptians began rebelling against the ruling 
Grecian family and began rioting and defying them.
Verse 14b: "And the sons of the violent ones of your people shall rise up to 
establish the vision, but they shall stumble". (LIT)

This verse speaks of the violent sons of Daniel's nation. Many commentators 
suggest that these people will stand up against the king of the south, but 
this
text foretells that these people will lift themselves up to establish the 
vision. They were called a violent people by Ezekiel who in this way 
described
them as shedders of blood. (18:10a) The word vision [in Aramaic chezev; in 
Hebrew chazown] is used in the Book of Daniel e.g. in: 7:1,2,7,13,15; 
8:1,2,13,15,17,26;
9:24; 10:14; 11:14. All of these visions prophecy of the future persecution 
of God's nation, that would be fulfilled in the distant future. (Daniel 
8:17;
10:14)
What kind of violent people would lift themselves in the ancient time, to 
fulfill the inspired visions and prophecies before their time? The First 
Book
of the Maccabees clearly indicates the Maccabees as being these violent 
people. (1:54; 6:7) Until now, many commentators believe that the Maccabees 
fulfilled
the prophecies of the Book of Daniel. But Jesus said that the vision which 
concerns the abomination of desolation and the persecutions of God's nation
will be fulfilled in the future. (Compare Matthew 24:15; Revelation 13:1-8)
Verse 11:16b "and he standeth in the desirable land, and it is wholly in his 
hand". (YLT)
After one hundred years, Palestine again changed hands. The Seleucid king, 
Antiochus III, took control of Palestine c. 200 B.C.E.
Daniel 11:18

Antioch III against the Roman Empire.
"Ruler" = Lucius Cornelius, the Roman general.
The Romans humbled him (191) at Thermopylae and again at Magnesia (190).

Daniel 11:19a

Subsequently, Antiochus was forced to campaign within his own lands to stop 
his satraps from declaring themselves independent rulers.
Daniel 11:19b

"He shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found" = end of the period of 
greatness for the Seleucid Empire. (Compare Revelation 18:21; Jeremiah 
51:64)
Daniel 11:20

"And stood up on his station hath one causing an exactor to pass over the 
honour of the kingdom, and in a few days he is destroyed, and not in anger, 
nor
in battle". (YLT)

"The king of the north" = Caesar Augustus. The first Roman emperor.

"The king of the south" not on the scene.
In 2 B.C., Augustus sent out "an exactor" by ordering a registration, or 
census, most likely to learn the size of the population for purposes of 
taxation
and military conscription. Because of this decree, Joseph and Mary traveled 
to Bethlehem for registration, resulting in Jesus' birth at that foretold 
location.
(Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1-12)
Daniel didn't prophecy that "the king of the north" would die "after a few 
days" from this event, but would die in the undetermined future "after a few
days". In the end of July, in the year 14 A.D., August left Rome. He took a 
vacation in his old age and health. On the 19th of August, after a short 
sickness,
he "passed away peacefully, not feeling any pain". While traveling in 
Campania, Augustus died "in a few days", neither "in anger" at an assassin's 
hands
nor "in warfare", but after a short illness.
Many say that "the king of the north" is Seleucus IV Philopater, who sent 
out his finance minister, Heliodorus to collect taxes. But Seleucus was 
murdered
in a conspiracy engineered by Heliodorus. It is said that the king here was 
to however die a natural death (not one of anger or of battle). Therefore,
this writing does not conform to Seleucus IV. Also, verse 21 cannot carry 
over to the rule of Antiochus IV Epiphanes!
Daniel 11:21-23

Verse 21: "And in his place shall arise a despised. And they will not give 
him the royal majesty. He will come in a time of peace and will seize the 
kingdom
through duplicity".

"The king of the north" = Tiberius 14-37.

"The king of the south" not on the scene.

"The ruler of the covenant" = Jesus [Yeshua].
Augustus only chose him after more favored heirs had died.
The New Encyclopoedia Britannica says, Tiberius played politics with the 
Senate and did not allow it to name him emperor for almost a month [after 
Augustus
died]". He told the Senate that no one but Augustus was capable of carrying 
the burden of ruling the Roman Empire and asked the senators to restore the
republic by entrusting such authority to a group of men rather than to one 
man. "Not daring to take him at his word", wrote historian Will Durant, "the
Senate exchanged bows with him until at last he accepted power". Durant 
added: "The play was well acted on both sides. Tiberius wanted the 
principate,
or he would have found some way to evade it; the Senate feared and hated 
him, but shrank from reestablishing a republic based, like the old, upon 
theoretically
sovereign assemblies". Thus, Tiberius took hold of the kingdom by means of 
duplicity.

Verse 22: "And the arms of the flood shall be swept from before his face, 
and they will be broken, and also the ruler of a covenant".
In 15 A.D., Germanicus led his forces against the German hero Arminius, with 
some success. However, the limited victories were won at great cost, and 
Tiberius
thereafter aborted operations in Germany. Instead, by promoting civil war, 
he tried to prevent German tribes from uniting. Tiberius generally favoured
a defensive foreign policy and focused on strengthening the frontiers. This 
stance was fairly successful. In this way "the arms of the flood" were 
controlled
and were "broken".
"Broken" too was "the Leader of the covenant" = Jesus [Yeshua]. (Compare 
Isaiah 55:4; Daniel 9:25, 27a)
Verse 23: "And after they join themselves to him, he will do guile, and he 
will exalt himself, and will do strong by a few of the people".
The oath of loyalty bound the army and officials to the Tiberius.
"Sextus Pompeius and Sextus Apuleius, the consuls, were the first to swear 
allegiance to Tiberius Caesar, and in their presence the oath was taken by 
Seius
Strabo and Caius Turranius, respectively the commander of the praetorian 
cohorts and the superintendent of the corn supplies. Then the Senate, the 
soldiers
and the people did the same". Those few people were the Roman Praetorian 
Guard, encamped close to Rome's walls. Its proximity intimidated the Senate 
and
helped Tiberius keep in check any uprisings against his authority among the 
populace. By means of some 10.000 guards Tiberius remained mighty.

Daniel 11:24

"In a time of peace he will come against [sense: will attack] the fattest 
[sense: mighty] of the land, and he will do that which his fathers have not 
done,
nor his fathers' fathers: prey, and spoil, and substance, their possession 
he will distribute. And against strongholds he will devise his schemes until
the appointed time".
"The king of the north" = Tiberius and next emperors.

"The king of the south" not on the scene.
The word "mashman" refers here to fattest [sense: mighty]. (Compare Ps.78:31 
and Is.10:16)
Because he was very suspicious, Emperor Tiberius, extended the law of laesa 
majestas. Many senators were put to death on a charge of treason against the
emperor. For the people of the provinces, it was a peaceful and well-ordered 
time.
Daniel 11:25,26a

Aurelian (270-275) against Queen Zenobia of Palmyra ["the king of the 
south"].

The Palmyrene army occupied Egypt in 269 B.C.E. under the pretext of making 
it secure for Rome. Zenobia wanted to make Palmyra the dominant city in the
east and wanted to rule over Rome's eastern provinces. Alarmed by her 
ambition, Aurelian aroused "his power and his heart" to proceed against 
Zenobia.

Zenobia valiantly defended it, but without success. She and her son fled 
toward Persia, only to be captured by the Romans at the Euphrates River. The 
Palmyrenes
surrendered their city in 272 B.C. Aurelian spared Zenobia, making her the 
prize feature in his triumphal procession through Rome in 274 B.C. She spent
the rest of her life as a Roman matron.

Aurelian himself 'did not stand because of schemes against him.' In 275 
B.C., he set out on an expedition against the Persians. While he was waiting 
in
Thrace for the opportunity to cross the straits into Asia Minor, those who 
'ate his food' carried out schemes against him and brought about his 
"breakdown".
He was going to call his secretary Eros to account for irregularities. Eros, 
however, forged a list of names of certain officers marked for death. The
sight of this list moved the officers to plot Aurelian's assassination and 
to murder him.
Daniel 11:26b. (Compare Daniel 9:26b)

"and his army will be flooded and many will fall down slain".
Decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
"The strength of Aurelian had crushed on every side the enemies of Rome. 
After his death they seemed to revive with an increase of fury and of 
numbers".
Daniel 11:27

"And both these kings, their hearts (will be) to do mischief, and at one 
table (they) will speak a lie. But it will not succeed, for yet (the) finish 
to
(the) appointed time." (11:27, literal translation)
It certainly suggests that the verse does not concern to the ancient times. 
It describes the end of times right before the appointed time. (Compare 
Daniel
11:29a)
Russia and England (from second half of the XIX Century).
Egyptian history dates back to about 4000 B.C., when the kingdoms of upper 
and lower Egypt, already highly sophisticated, were united. Egypt's golden 
age
coincided with the 18th and 19th dynasties (16th to 13th century B.C.), 
during which the empire was established. Persia conquered Egypt in 525 
B.C.E, Alexander
the Great subdued it in 332 B.C.E., and then the Ptolemaic dynasty ruled the 
land until 30 B.C., when Cleopatra, last of the line, committed suicide and
Egypt became a Roman, then Byzantine, province. Arab caliphs ruled Egypt 
from 641 until 1517, when the Turks took it for their Ottoman Empire. 
Napoléon's
armies occupied the country from 1798 to 1801. In 1805, Mohammed Ali, leader 
of a band of Albanian soldiers, became pasha of Egypt. After completion of
the Suez Canal in 1869, the French and British took increasing interest in 
Egypt. British troops occupied Egypt in 1882, and British resident agents 
became
its actual administrators, though it remained under nominal Turkish 
sovereignty. In 1914, this fiction was ended, and Egypt became a 
protectorate of Britain.

Russia grew expanding its power over huge regions, and by the end of XIX 
century Russia possessed territories from the mouths of the Danube and Visla 
in
the west, reached the Pacific Ocean in the east, began in the Euroasian 
tundra in the north and had borders with Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and China 
in
the south.

In 1907, an Anglo-Russian agreement divided Persia into English and Russian 
spheres of influence, a large Russian sphere in the north, covering the most
valuable part of the country, a neutral sphere in the centre, and a smaller 
British sphere in the southeast.
Daniel 11:28

"And (he) ["the king of the north"] will go back (to) his land with great 
wealth; and his heart (will be) against the holy covenant; and will act 
effectively;
and turned back to his own land." (literal translation)

History of Russia after World War II.

The passage contains enough details, which allow for a correct 
interpretation.

Daniel foretells here that "the king of the north" [Russia] will not only be 
successful in WW II, but also that he returns to his land with a great 
amount
of goods. If only Hitler had listened to Mussolini and the Japanese, who in 
1943 advised him to stop military actions, the prophetic detail would have
never been fulfilled.
Daniel 11:28b

"and turned back to his own land".
The break-up of the Soviet Union and return to the country of Russian 
garrisons (the liquidation of Russian military bases).
The prophecy of Daniel 11 is the key to understanding what is going to 
happen in the future.

The latter statements Jesus' and Daniel's are alike.
Matthew 24:5,6 (Luke 21:8,9) = Daniel 11:27,28 = XIX, XX, XXI Century, 
before the World War III

"Many for will come in the name of me, saying: 'I am the anointed'; and many 
they will mislead." (Matthew 24:5, literal translation)
"He said, 'Watch out that you don't get led astray, for many will come in my 
name, saying, 'I AM,' and, 'The time is at hand.' Therefore don't follow 
them."
(Luke 21:8, WEB)
"Don't be afraid when you hear of wars and revolutions; such things must 
happen first, but they do not mean that the end is near." (Luke 21:9, GNB)
Matthew 24:7 = Daniel 11:29,30 = WW III
Matthew 24:15 = Daniel 11:31 = "trampling of Jerusalem" [the great 
tribulation of Christian minorities; compare Revelation 11:2]
Matthew 24:29 = Daniel 11:40 = WW IV
Daniel 11:29a

"At (the) appointed time (he) will return, and will enter into (the) south."
1. Russian troops will be station abroad again.

2. "The king of the north" will come into the South.
Daniel 11:29b,30

"But will not be as (the) former or as (the) latter. For will come against 
him (the) dwellers of coastlands of Kittim, and (he) will be humbled, and 
will
return." (literal translation)

1. The West will come against the Russia.

2. "The king of the north" will be humbled, and will return. (Compare 
Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:4)

Daniel 11:31

1. The nations will trample "the holy city" [of those who belong to Christ] 
forty-two months. (Compare Revelation 11:2,7; 13:5,7a; Luke 21:24b; Matthew
24:21,22; Daniel 7:25; 9:27; Isaiah 29:1-8,20-24; Matthew 13:40-43,49,50; 
Ezekiel 13:8-16,20-23; 34:10; 2 Thessalonians 2:8b; Isaiah 28:1-4,17-22; 
6:13;
Malachi 3:1-5)
The religious organizations from among Christian minorities which Jesus 
compared to "the weeds", will be "burned". (Mt.13:30) Yahoueh will protect 
the
righteous ones. (Re.11:1) "The wheat" will be put into "the storehouse" 
after the tribulation - which means that "the sons of the kingdom" will 
become
gathered and unified at that time. They will shine as brightly as the sun 
after the tribulation.

2. "The abomination of desolation" [the World Government] will be set up. 
(Revelation 13:7b; Daniel 12:11)
Daniel 11:32-35

Details of their future global religious persecution. (Compare Daniel 
8:11,12; Revelation 6:9-11; 12:15)

Daniel 11:36-39

Russia before the World War IV. (Compare Ezekiel 38:7)
Daniel 11:40

The World War IV. (Compare Luke 21:25; Isaiah 5:26-30; Matthew 24:29; Daniel 
7:11; Revelation 13:3; Ezekiel 32:2-16; Habakkuk 1:5-17; Revelation 6:12; 
Zephaniah
1:14-18; Joel 2:1-11,31, ASV)

Daniel 11:41

Occupation of Israel. (Compare Ezekiel 39:23-29)
Daniel 11:42,43

The triumph of Russia. (Compare Isaiah 10:12-15)
Daniel 11:44,45

Russia again will attack Israel. (Compare Daniel 12:1; Joel 2:20; Isaiah 
14:4-27; Habakkuk 3:3-16)

"Many will study, therefore understanding will be multiplied". (Daniel 
12:4b)

Well, what is the Bible's scenario?
1. Russian troops station abroad again. (Daniel 11:29a)
2. "The king of the north" becomes very aggressive and enters into the 
south. (Daniel 11:29a)

3. The West opposes Russia. (Daniel 11:30; Matthew 24:7a; Revelation 6:4)
4. "The king of the north" is humiliated, and turns back. (Daniel 11:30). He 
does not make the same mistake as Hitler did, he does not fight to the death
and this is why Russia is not occupied.

5. The World Government appears after that war which replaces the 
ineffective UNO. Its power gradually rises up. (Revelation 13:1,2,7b; Daniel 
11:31b)
6. Russia rebuilds its military power very fast and acts effectively on the 
world scene. (Daniel 11:30b)

7. "Russia's rulers pay attention to those "who forsake the holy covenant". 
(Daniel 11:30b)

8. A man "of fierce countenance, and understanding ambiguous sayings" 
becomes the president of the USA, and he begins to fight with Christian 
minorities.
(Daniel 8:23-25)

9. There is a tribulation of "Jerusalem" = it is a tribulation of Christian 
minorities, which lasts 42 month's. (Daniel 11:31a; Matthew 24:15; 
Revelation
13:5-7a; Matthew 13:40-42,49,50; 24:48-51)

The Christian communities, which are now called sects, are decimated. It is 
the biggest genocide concerning religion in history. The eyes of people who
were deceived by them will be opened. (Isaiah 6:9-13)
The "tyrant", according to LXX "lawless" = the rulers of Christian 
minorities will be removed. (Isaiah 29:1-8,20,21) Ezekiel calls them 
"women". (Ezekiel
13:17-23; Revelation 14:4a; Isaiah 3:12) Paul names them "the man of 
lawlessness". (2 Thessalonians 2:4,8b)
10. Immediately after the tribulation of those days "the abomination of 
desolation", in other words the World Government will be set up [will given 
authority;
Revelation 13:7b]. (Daniel 11:31b; 12:11) The Book of Revelation calls it a 
"beast". (11:7; 13:1,2,7,8)
11. The spirit is poured out upon people who belong to Jesus. (Revelation 
11:11-13) The "wheat" = the sons of kingdom, will be gathered into the 
"storehouse"
after burning the "weeds" = organized Christian churches which earlier posed 
as the churches of Christ. (Matthew 13:30b; Eph.1:9,10) And then Jesus will
set up a "faithful slave" over his whole possession. (Matthew 24:45-47)

12. The seven trumpets start to sound. Those who belong to Jesus are 
revealing future events to the World. They will also try to explain what God 
thinks
of certain issues. (Revelation 8:6-10:11)

13. The power in Russia will be taken over by a dictator who is atheist. The 
military power will be his god. (Daniel 11:36-39)
14. Not longer after that, there will be the WW IV. That time Russia will 
triumph the same as it did after the WWII. (Daniel 11:40; Daniel 7:11; Luke 
21:25;
Revelation 13:3a). "The king of the north" will act as a "God's hammer" 
ravaging many countries like Babylon in ancient times. (Jeremiah 51:20,25)

15. Russia occupies Israel as well. (Daniel 11:41)
16. After that war the World Government is resuscitated. The "purple beast" 
will be given even more power. The politicians will relinquish their 
sovereignty
in favour of the beast. (Revelation 13:14; 17:8,17)
17. Attack on "Babylon the Great" = big, apostasized churches, drunk with 
blood of innocent people, which betrayed God and Jesus by co-operating with 
kings
of the earth. (Revelation 17:16)

18. Next, nations see the sign of the Son of man (Matthew 24:30). Probably 
it will be connected with the first resurrection (Revelation 20:6). People 
who
have died in union with Jesus will rise first (among 144.000). They will get 
a spirit body at the resurrection. (1 Corinthians 15:35,44) What will be the
proof of the resurrection? Immediately after that, remaining of 144.000 will 
be transfigured (1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17). 
Simultaneously
they will be caught away from the earth and taken to heaven. The 
transfigurations of belonging to Jesus dependably will not be seen and it 
will cause a
