Understanding America’s Prophetic Window: The Great Horn Must Wax “Very Great” Before Breaking – And Cuba Is Part of That Divine Pattern
By David Brooks | Founder and CEO of Divine Timing Ministries“Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken…” (Daniel 8:8, KJV)
President Trump just dropped a prophetic bombshell.
🔥🚨 BREAKING: President Trump, during his speech in Miami, says:

“CUBA IS NEXT”

While speaking at the Future Investment Initiative Institute in Miami on March 27, 2026, he declared:
“I built this great military. I said, ‘You’ll never have to use it.’ But sometimes you have to use it. And Cuba is next by the way. But pretend I didn’t say that. Pretend I didn’t.”
This isn’t just geopolitical posturing. This is Daniel 8:8 unfolding before our eyes.
The Great Horn Must Wax “Very Great”
Turn to Daniel 8.
The vision shows a he goat (representing Grecia in type, but prophetically pointing to America in these last days) with a notable horn between its eyes.
Verse 8 reveals the pattern:
✅ The he goat attacks the ram (we’ve seen this with Iran) ✅ The goat waxes very great (this is happening NOW) ✅ When he was strong, the great horn was broken
Here’s what most prophecy teachers miss:
Before the horn is broken, it must wax “VERY GREAT.”
And that’s exactly what we’re witnessing.
Cuba: China and Russia’s Foothold on America’s Doorstep
Let’s be specific about what’s happening.
Cuba isn’t just a struggling communist island. It’s a strategic military outpost for America’s enemies.
China and Russia have used Cuba to park their interests on our doorstep:
✅ Russian military presence – Naval and air force access ✅ Chinese intelligence operations – Electronic surveillance targeting the U.S. ✅ Venezuelan oil cutoff – Cuba’s economy collapsing, creating desperation ✅ Negotiations underway – Cuba seeking deals to avoid confrontation
This is unacceptable to the Great Horn.
America will not allow hostile superpowers to maintain military footholds 90 miles from Florida. It’s not about pride. It’s about prophetic necessity.
The horn must demonstrate its strength before it’s broken.
The Pattern: Very Great → Strong → Broken
Daniel 8:8 gives us a three-phase sequence:
Phase 1: Waxing Very Great (NOW)
- Military demonstrations of power
- Strategic dominance asserted
- Enemies warned or removed
- Trump’s actions in Iran, Venezuela, and now Cuba
Phase 2: When He Was Strong (IMMINENT)
- Peak of American power and influence
- Diplomatic breakthroughs
- Economic leverage maximized
- Global respect (or fear)
Phase 3: The Great Horn Broken (COMING)
- Sudden loss of dominance
- Likely tied to Middle East peace deal
- America’s role diminishes
- Makes way for the Little Horn (Antichrist) to rise
We are in Phase 1 RIGHT NOW.
The Rapture Window: Inside 2 Years (Generously)
Here’s the urgency:
If the horn must wax “very great” BEFORE it’s broken… And the horn is broken BEFORE or AROUND the time of the covenant confirmation (Daniel 9:27)… And the Rapture happens BEFORE the Little Horn is revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:7)…
Then the timeline is compressed.
Let me be clear:
The Rapture window is likely inside the next 2 years.
That’s a generous estimate.
Here’s what needs to happen first:
✅ America demonstrates “very great” power – Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, China warnings ✅ Peak strength achieved – Diplomatic, military, economic dominance ✅ Horn broken – Likely through Middle East peace deal that shifts global power ✅ Restrainer removed – The Rapture ✅ Little Horn revealed – Antichrist rises ✅ Covenant confirmed – Daniel 9:27 activated
We’re watching this unfold in real-time.
Why the Horn Will Be Broken: The Middle East Peace Deal
The breaking of the great horn won’t be random. It will be strategic and prophetic.
Here’s my conviction:
America’s dominance will be broken in the process of brokering (or being sidelined by) a Middle East peace deal.
This could happen through:
✅ Abraham Accords expansion – Bringing Saudi Arabia, normalizing Israel-Arab relations ✅ Covenant framework – Setting stage for Daniel 9:27 “one week” agreement ✅ America’s role diminishes – Either by choice, economic collapse, or supernatural intervention ✅ Global power shifts – Making way for the Antichrist’s rise
Remember the scapegoat pattern (Leviticus 16):
The goat bears the sins of the people… then is sent away into the wilderness, never to return.
America’s role in end-times prophecy is temporary and holy. Once the mission is complete, the goat does not return.
What “Very Great” Looks Like (We’re Seeing It Now)
Trump’s statement “Cuba is next” is part of the “very great” phase.
Here’s what we’re witnessing:
✅ Iran: Operation Epic Fury – thousands of strikes, regime weakened, 8 tankers through Hormuz concession ✅ Venezuela: Maduro removed, new government aligned with U.S. ✅ Cuba: Economic crisis, oil cutoff, negotiations underway, Trump’s warning ✅ China: Economic pressure, Taiwan warnings, South China Sea presence ✅ Russia: Ukraine conflict, diminished global standing
This is the Great Horn waxing very great.
It’s not arrogance. It’s prophetic fulfillment.
The Bottom Line: Time Is Short
Friends, I’m not writing this to frighten you. I’m writing this to awaken you.
The pattern is clear: ✅ Great horn waxing very great (NOW) ✅ Peak strength (IMMINENT) ✅ Horn broken (COMING SOON) ✅ Rapture (WITHIN 2 YEARS GENEROUSLY) ✅ Little Horn rises (AFTER RAPTURE) ✅ Covenant confirmed (DANIEL 9:27)
Your Phase 3 is death or the Rapture – whichever comes first.
Don’t wait. Don’t delay. Don’t put off salvation for “someday.”
🕊️ The ABCs of Salvation – How to Be Saved
A – Admit you are a sinner in need of a Savior. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
B – Believe Jesus died for your sins and rose again. “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
C – Confess Him as Lord and turn from sin. “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.” (Acts 3:19)
👉 Pray now: “Lord Jesus, I admit I’m a sinner. I believe You died and rose for me. I confess You as my Lord. Save me, cleanse me, and make me Yours forever. Amen.”
Once you pray, you’re sealed. Not by your promise to God. By God’s promise to you.
