Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was standing in my way for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, because the vision pertains to the days still future.” –Daniel 10:12–14
I have been in the Holy Ghost in these passages. Daniel’s prayer was heard when he spoke it from his mouth and from the first day heaven responded. They heard Daniel‘s heart was set on understanding and humbling himself before God.
Prince Michael was sent then but was met in the heavenlies by the prince demon of Persia, who fought him for 21 days. The prophetic word to Israel concerning the last days and their promised future was in Daniel’s answer. Satan sent his prince demon to thwart this prophetic vision and word to Daniel and the people in Israel.
This stronghold is what is loosed over the Middle East and at war now over Israel and the entire region. This principality is what we are to bind in our spiritual warfare — our struggle. I have many times encountered this spirit, especially in the last eight years as I have come. 21 days Michael fought this spirit to bring this prophetic revelation. It is why the Holy Ghost sealed it up until this appointed time:
But as for you, Daniel, keep these words secret and seal up the book until the end of time; many will roam about, and knowledge will increase.” -Daniel 12:4
The meaning of number 21 in the Bible is that it represents great wickedness of rebellion and sin. After the children of Israel left Egyptian bondage, they had twenty-one major rebellious events as they wandered the wilderness. 21 days describes the strength of the principalities’ gyration of wickedness and rebellion.
The spirit of prophecy is the spirit of Jesus. Of course, Jesus reveals Himself in revelations and is not thwarted and by the Holy Ghost shows what is to come — the seal of Daniel is opened. This war is going to bring the whole world to see the glory, might, and power of the only true God and His glorious Son; the reigning King of heaven and earth: Jesus.
We, like Michael, rebuke you, prince demon of Persia, in the name of the Lord. Iran is Persia, and its demonic spirits are Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Jihad, the PLO, etc.
How humbling it is to serve and be a part of the ministry here in the Middle East for the last 30 years for this day.
Hallelujah to the King!
