The Cosmic War against the Red Dragon ended on December 19, 2012. We often see a sign at the end of a prayer battle that shows us who on earth was fighting against us. In other words, who was the agent of the spirit that we were fighting—in this case, the Red Dragon?
New reports on that day showed that we were fighting against the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS). This big Babylonian bank was exposed on December 19, 2012 for its corruption and criminal dealings in regard to the LIBOR scandal. LIBOR is the acronym for London Interbank Offered Rate and has to do with fixing the interest rates.
UBS has agreed to pay around SFr1.4 billion ($1.53 billion) in fines to United States, British and Swiss authorities to resolve Libor-related investigations. Two former traders were also the first to be criminally accused in the global scandal.
On a black day for Switzerland’s biggest bank, UBS announced Wednesday its branch in Japan had entered a plea to one count of wire fraud relating to the manipulation of benchmark interest rates, including the Yen Libor. The Libor interest rate, short for London interbank offered rate, is used to price financial contracts around the globe.
I find it particular significant that the fine was $1.53 billion. The number 153 is the numeric value of “sons of God” in Hebrew (beni h’elohim). It is another fingerprint of God, showing that the sons of God brought judgment upon the red dragon. Even so, this fine was just a slap on the wrist, as usual. UBS “entered a plea to one count of wire fraud,” but we can be sure that it had been guilty of thousands of crimes.
My own research showed that UBS was the primary underwriter for the bonds that were given to the Asian families in the great gold heist of the 1930’s. After World War 1, the nations agreed in 1921 to “end all wars” by sending their gold to the Federal Reserve Bank for “safe-keeping.” Supposedly, since no one would invade America to steal this gold, it would remove the motive for war. The American military would act as its guardians.
Most of the gold sent to the Fed came from Asia, particularly from the royal dynastic families. They were given Morgenthau bonds (receipts) in return, receiving 4 percent interest on their gold deposits. They said that these bonds could be redeemed in gold whenever they wished.
The problem was that the Fed retained the power to determine if the bonds were genuine or counterfeit, giving the Fed an irresistible opportunity to steal the gold. We know that this was the plan from the beginning, because the Fed intentionally misspelled words and used poor grammar on the bonds and the metal boxes in which they were stored. These anomalies were used later as “evidence” to prove that the bonds were fake, so the Asian families were never able to reclaim their gold. It was one of the largest gold thefts in history.
UBS was the primary bank that underwrote these bonds, and to this day they have refused to honor the bonds that they underwrote. In December of 2012 UBS was brought to judgment in the Cosmic War, and the earthly agent of the Red Dragon was cast down to the earth (Revelation 12:9). The $1.53 fine on December 19, 2012 was evidence of this.
Phase 2 of the Cosmic War
December 19, 2012 ended the first phase of the warfare against the Red Dragon. As I noted earlier, this Cosmic War was patterned after the spiritual war in Revelation 12, where, after the dragon was cast down to the earth, other problems emerged that needed to be overcome. Revelation 12:13 says,
13 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
Many prayer warriors do not realize that when they win a prayer battle, their victory can result in greater problems that need to be overcome. In this case, when Michael casts the Red Dragon down to the earth, his victory resulted in a time of persecution here on earth. One might be tempted to think that it would have been better to leave the Red Dragon in the heavens, where the angels of God could overcome him. But Paul said in Romans 16:20,
20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet…
It is in the divine plan for Satan to be crushed under OUR feet. Michael may obtain the victory in the heavens, but the divine purpose is greater than that. We must obtain the victory here on earth as well. The overcomers are called to repeat on earth what Michael achieved in heaven. Though Christ achieved full victory on the cross, we are His body, His feet, and God is determined to make us active participants in that battle so that we too may achieve victory.
Winter Storm Draco (“Dragon”)
The Red Dragon was cast out of heaven, only to continue his war here on earth. This war continued through Winter Storm Draco, which means “dragon.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_17%E2%80%9322,_2012_North_American_blizzard
Draco entered the Pacific Northwest on December 17, blew across the country in a blizzard, and hit us in the Midwest on December 19. It finally moved into Ontario on December 21 and exited the continent on the 22nd, moving toward Iceland, where it was absorbed by another weather system on December 29.
What are the odds that a winter storm would be called Draco just as we were reaching the end of a prayer battle against the Red Dragon? Coincidences are God’s fingerprints.
The Coalition
On December 26, 2012 I received revelation that the Red Dragon was being aided by the Prince of Persia in this Cosmic War. I understood that this was the main reason why the prayer campaign had a second part to it—and, by extension, beyond December 19.
This coalition has a long history, going back into biblical times. The Red Dragon is essentially the Prince of Babylon, while Apollyon/Abaddon (Revelation 9:11) is the Prince of Persia. The main precedent is seen in Daniel 10, which is the classic example of spiritual warfare in the Bible.
Daniel needed revelation, and so he fasted and prayed for 21 days before the answer finally came. A nameless angel then arrived to give him the required revelation, and this angel explained that he had been hindered by the Prince of Persia for 21 days (Daniel 10:13). “Michael, one of the chief princes,” then came to help him, so that he could bring the message to Daniel.
In Daniel 10:21, the angel identified Michael as “your prince,” indicating that Michael was the angel assigned to Daniel. One’s angel determines one’s calling. We see from Daniel 12:1, 2 that Michael is the angel of resurrection, for when he stands up, men are raised from the dead to stand upon their feet.
Hence, Daniel’s calling was to facilitate the resurrection of Judah as a nation at the end of the Babylonian captivity. Though he himself did not return to the old land, his prayers and intercessions paved the way for others to return. Hence, he fulfilled his calling through “Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of our people” (Daniel 12:1). In his case, the resurrection was not that which we will yet see at the Great White Throne but was about the resurrection of the nation.
If Michael was Daniel’s prince, then it stands to reason that the messenger angel was someone else’s prince, someone who was also engaging in spiritual warfare in that generation. We are not told who this might have been. Yet on a broader scale, since there is no time in the spiritual realm, we have all been involved in the same battle seen briefly in Daniel 10. We have all fought side by side with Daniel and others from many generations.
Having engaged in spiritual warfare for many years, I know by revelation that Peniel is the angel who gave Daniel the important message. Peniel and Michael have a special relationship, a coalition of sorts, having a common purpose relating specifically to the second coming of Christ. Peniel is the angel of transfiguration, while Michael is the angel of resurrection.
When Christ appears to a prophet friend of mine, He is announced by Peniel. He then splits into two angels who flank God on either side during the conversation. At the end of the conversation, the two Peniels merge back as one. It is interesting that Peniel’s name is derived from paniym, “face,” which is actually a Hebrew plural, “faces.” Scripture commands the people to appear before Him (literally, to appear “before My face(s)”).
There are others as well who work with these two, most notably the angel called Harpazo (“catching away”) and the twins, Amet and Amen, the angels of Truth and Agreement.
There is also an evil counterpart to all of these angels, and these work against the angels to try to prevent them from fulfilling their callings. The coalition of the Red Dragon and the Prince of Persia thus fight against the coalition of Michael and Peniel.
On December 26, 2012 I received revelation that in this Cosmic War, the Red Dragon was being helped by the Prince of Persia. The next day General Norman Schwarzkopf died at the age of 78. He was the general who led the “Coalition” forces in the Gulf War in 1991, in the overthrow of Saddam Hussein of Iraq. Recall that Schwarzkopf was called “the bear,” which was also the manifestation of the Prince of Persia in Daniel 7:5.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2012/12/27/norman-schwarzkopf-obit/1795095/
Although reputed to be short-tempered with aides and subordinates, he was a friendly, talkative and even jovial figure who didn't like "Stormin' Norman" and preferred to be known as "the Bear," a sobriquet given him by troops.
In March 1986 I had a vision wherein I was taken to a “dungeon” in Saudi Arabia, where I encountered this “bear” being guarded by Peniel. This revelation alerted me to the coming Gulf War more than two years before it began, and it showed me that the Prince of Persia was the main spiritual force behind it. He was operating through General Schwartzkopf, whose underground headquarters in Saudi Arabia was called “The Dungeon.”
So it was significant that the representative of the Prince of Persia died on December 27, 2012. It was one more sign of the times that most people write off as a coincidence.
