WW3 in Daniel 11
Dan 11:36 "Then the king (king of the North) shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done."
The king of the North (Mahdi) exalts and magnifies himself above every god. So he has revealed himself to be the Antichrist, the man of sin or son of perdition.
2The 2:3-5 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Satan's Rebellion
Isa 14:12-15 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.' Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.
Satan (Lucifer) rebelled against God, to establish his own will to be "God" himself. He wanted all angels and every creature to worship him.
Satan the Fallen Archangel
Rev 12:7-9 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
At the end-time Satan mustered a third of all the angels in heaven to rebel against God but was defeated by Archangel Michael. Satan and his fallen angels were cast down to earth to cause untold misery to mankind with his wrath.
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."
Reincarnation of Satan
Rev 13:3,8 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marvelled and followed the beast...All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Since the arrogant Satan could not succeed in his rebellion to get all the angels in heaven to follow and worship him, he targets all mankind to worship him.
So as soon as Satan was cast down to earth, he will choose a highly respected imam for his reincarnation so that all those who witness his resurrection will immediately accept him as the Mahdī, the saviour of Iran and the new king of the North.
shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done
God has allowed the king of the North (Mahdi - Satan incarnate) to blaspheme him and the heavens and to use his Satanic power upon all mankind including the killing of His saints until Rapture.
Rev 13:6-8 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
