There is a major difference between the Church of Jesus Christ Online Ministries (COJCOM) and the plethora of splinter groups from the Worldwide Church of God, and that is the proper identity of a soon-coming final ‘king of the South’ mentioned in Daniel 11 ──
Several splinter groups of the Worldwide Church of God are incorrectly teaching that Iran is the soon-coming final ‘king of the South,’ yet the COJCOM teaches that it cannot be.
There are some ── like the false “prophet” Gerald Flurry ── who are insisting that Egypt and Saudi Arabia will be aligned with Iran. However, both Egypt and Saudi Arabia are basically Sunni Islam, and are not pro-Shi’ite Islam.
The following is something that Gerald Flurry has posted related to his wrong understanding of Iran ──
Red Sea Battle Lines Are Being DrawnMajor fault lines are developing in Northeast Africa …March 10, 2026Iran is targeting your wallet. …Though two clear sides are rising in the region, identifying the two blocs is somewhat complicated. The situation isn’t as black and white as Ukraine vs. Russia. Rather than two distinct unions, the region is comprised of two separate alliance networks. …Iran-aligned:• Djibouti• Eritrea• Egypt• Ethiopian opposition movements• Fano militias• Oromo Liberation Army• Tigray People’s Liberation Front• Libyan government• Qatar• Saudi Arabia• Somali government• Somalia’s al-Shabaab• South Sudanese opposition movement• Sudanese government• Yemen’s Houthis …Daniel 11:40-43 prophesy of the destruction of “the king of the south,” and Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry has proved that this “king” refers to an alliance of radical Islamist nations and groups led by Iran. Verses 42-43 show that Egypt, Libya and Ethiopia (likely including surrounding nations) will be allied with Iran in this coming war. This shows that Iran is about to gain great influence in the Red Sea region.
The divide between Sunni and Shi'a Muslims is one of the most misunderstood issues in not only global politics, but in Bible prophecy as well.
Let’s now turn in our Bibles to the Book of Daniel 11 concerning the components and the prophesied allies of this soon-coming final ‘king of the South’ ──
“’ AT THE TIME OF THE END the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North [a final United States of Europe] shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 41) He shall also enter the Glorious Land [Palestine], and many countries shall be overthrown; but these [initially] shall escape from his hand: Edom [which is Turkey], Moab [which is Iraq], and the prominent people of Ammon [or Jordan]. 42) He shall stretch out his hand [the ‘king of the North’] against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43) He [a final “United States of Europe”] shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels.’” – Daniel 11:40-43, NKJV.
Certainly, while some in Iran may support the coming final ‘king of the South,’ the Iranian people are not the prophesied end-time final ‘king of the South’ nor an ally.
Turkey is to the north of Jerusalem. Iraq is basically to the east of Jerusalem. Jordan is basically to the southeast of Jerusalem.
Remember, initially, Turkey, Iraq, and Jordan are spared military conquest. But after this mechanized force – representing a final United Europe – comes into the Middle East like a ‘whirlwind’, taking over and occupying many countries – many Arab countries, many Islamic countries – then the people of Turkey, Iraq, and Jordan, they decide – “No, we’re not going to put up with that! We’re going to counterattack!” – or rather they’re going to attempt to counter-attack, because as it says here – “’ But news [of what they’re planning] from the east and the north shall trouble [the king of the North]; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many.’” – So there is a massive counterattack against areas such as Turkey, Iraq, and Jordan.
Turkey – which Prophet Obadiah is prophesying about – will come to support the soon-coming civic leader of a final “United States of Europe.”
Prophet Daniel in chapter 11, verses 40-43 shows us that Edom (Turkey) will initially escape the wrath of the final European king of the North. Prophet Ezekiel shows us that Egypt and her allies, including Arabs, will be DESTROYED! Notice this end-time prophecy ──
“’ For the DAY is near [speaking of the Day of the Lord], even the day of the LORD is near; it will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles. 4) The sword shall come upon Egypt, And great anguish shall be in Ethiopia, When the slain fall in Egypt, And they take away her wealth, And her foundations are broken down’” – Ezekiel 30:3-4. Continue reading to verse 12.
The above is an end-time prophecy as it ties in with the final ‘time of the Gentiles,’ which also ties in with an end-time “great tribulation” known also as the “Day of the LORD.” So no, Gerald Flurry’s false belief that Iran is to lead a Confederation that includes Egypt and Saudi Arabia does not align with God’s living word in prophecy. □

Five Areas of Biblical Prophecy ── There are, basically, five areas that God’s living word focuses on in prophecy ── five basic areas that we read about in Scripture. And our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ admonishes us to WATCH what is happening throughout the world, so that we are not caught unprepared.
