Hi,
Thanks for your question.
I really don't know, but I doubt that anyone else does either. Quite a number of people for generations have endeavored to link the prophecy of the book of Revelation to current events of their time. All have turned out to be wrong. When the events of the book of Revelation actually occur, the meanings of the prophecies will be obvious. I suppose that the prophecies will serve as a wake up call for those who will be involved in the events of that time. Until then, surmisings about specific events leading up to the events of the book of Revelation are just speculation.
Bless,
Ken Brown
