Verse 12, when a pilot puts on a helmet for war he no longer relies on his eyes but instead the superior technology inside the helmet for vision and direction. A prince can represent a military leader. Weapons are borne on the shoulders or wings of an aircraft. Verse 14 may be referring to more than one aircraft in this sortie. Verse 15 may be referring to this becoming a world war where many nations join to fight. Verse 18, it is possible this is referring to nuclear contamination of food supplies or perhaps biological contamination. Food and water would have to be carefully tested for radiation or virus before it is given to eat, with trembling because if it is highly radiated or viral then just holding it is injurious to the body.
