underlying truth conveyed to us that these enemies are bringing strife, trouble, and war against the children of Israel. And you'll notice that Midian is a descendant of Abraham through his wife Keturah, and Amal is a descendant of Esau. So, these enemies of Israel during this time period are relatives of Israel. These are some of the characteristics that we're identifying here. And this third reference, this third enemy, is simply called the children of the East. And this third enemy, when we are going to see these illustrated in Bible prophecy, is always set forth in a plural form, and by that I mean the children of the East. It's not simply Midian or Amal, but it's a plural grouping. And consistently, as we recognize this in the prophetic scenario, one of the three enemies that are raised up will be set in a plural setting. Now, you'll find these enemies, different places and different prophecies that are different illustrations of the end of the world, and they're not always going to be Midian and Amal and the children of the East. And this is helping to demonstrate that even though the characteristics of three enemies, two in a singular fashion, one in a plural fashion, relatives of Israel, even though they are portrayed in different prophecies and illustrations of the end of the world, they're not always the same enemies. And what this tells us is that whoever this threefold enemy at the end of the world is, that it's going to have to be understood in a spiritual setting. We're not going to be looking for literal enemies because the many times it's illustrated in the Bible, there's various nations, various enemies used in this threefold combination to illustrate it. So at the end of the world, we're not going to be looking for literal countries or literal nations. We're going to be looking for spiritual. If we were going to be looking for something literal, then every time these three enemies were set forth in Bible prophecy, it would be the same enemies over and over again. And we would expect to see a manifestation of those three tribes at the end of the world. So in the story of Judges, we see these three enemies pop up. They're also mentioned again in chapter 7, verse 12, Midian, Amal, the Malachites, and the children of the east. Another story that illustrates the end of the world, and this is where we're going to try pulling out a second witness to this, is Numbers 22, verses 4 and 5, lists three enemies that are once again raised up to oppose God's people and the work they're doing in this particular illustration. This particular illustration is just...
