honey symbolizing wealth, allowing Israel to have the finances necessary to take the gospel to the world. The glorious land of ancient Israel was at the crossroads of the ancient world, not an accident that it was placed there where it could easily take the gospel throughout the world. It wasn't in some obscure corner of the globe. When we apply those same characteristics to the United States, identifying the Adventist church as modern Israel, placed in the glorious land United States, once again the United States providing the finances necessary to take the gospel to the world, and also the United States being the crossroads of the modern world. I'm not making a defense of that at this point, but what I am trying to do is draw a contrast to one familiar disagreement on this subject. We probably hear about more men that oppose the glorious land of our understanding of the last six verses of Daniel 11 than any other issue. One of the strongest arguments against their position, their position being that the glorious land is the Seventh-day Adventist church.

And I want to point out here at the beginning that unless there's some kind of specific information in this prophecy that says, all right, in verse 41 we're going to make a 180 degrees turn and what's being conquered here is no longer a geographical area. For the first time in all these verses, the history that's being
