(My Synopsis of Daniel
Chapter 11 takes a look at only those verses
That pertain to The
Time Of The END.
Scriptures are from the
Amplified Version and italicized.)
[Beginning here at
verse 31
Daniel may be talking
about the Antiochus's desecration of the temple,
But also what will
happen at the revealing of the Antichrist
At The Time Of The
END.]
31 And armed
forces of his shall appear [in the holy land],
And they shall
pollute the sanctuary, the [spiritual] stronghold,
And shall take away
the continual [daily] burnt offering,
And they shall set
up [in the sanctuary] the abomination that astonishes
And makes desolate
[probably an idol-altar].
32 And such
as Violate the Covenant he shall Pervert
And Seduce with
Flatteries;
But the People who
Know their God shall Prove themselves Strong
And shall Stand
Firm, and do Exploits [for God].
33 And they
who are Wise and Understand among the People
Shall Instruct Many
and make them Understand,
Though some [of them
and their followers] shall Fall by the Sword
And by Flame, by
Captivity and Plunder, for many days.
34 Now when
they Fall, they shall receive a Little Help.
Many shall Join
themselves to them with Flatteries and Hypocrisies.
35 And some
of those who are Wise, Prudent and Understanding
Shall be Weakened
and Fall;
[Thus then the
Insincere among the People will Lose Courage
And become
Deserters.
It will be a Test]
to Refine, to Purify
And make those among
[God's people] white,
Even to The Time
Of The End;
Because it is yet
for the time [God] appointed.
36 And the
king shall do according to his will;
He shall Exalt
himself and Magnify himself above every god,
And shall speak
Astonishing things Against the God of gods,
And shall Prosper
till the Indignation be accomplished;
For that which is
Determined [by God] shall be done.
37 He shall
Not Regard the gods of his fathers,
Or Him [to whom]
women desire [to give birth], or any other god,
For he shall Magnify
himself above all.
38 But in
their place he shall honor the god of Fortresses;
A god whom his
fathers knew not shall he honor with gold and silver,
And with precious
stones and pleasant and expensive things.
39 And he
shall deal with the Strongest Fortresses by help of a foreign god.
Those who
acknowledge him he shall magnify with glory and honor,
And he shall cause
them to Rule over many,
And shall divide the
land for a price.
40 At that
Time Of The End the king of the south
Shall push at and
attack him,
And the king of the
north shall come against him like a whirlwind,
With chariots and
horsemen, and with many ships;
And he shall enter
into the countries and shall overflow and pass through.
41 He shall
enter into the glorious land [Palestine],
And many shall be
overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand;
Edom, and Moab, and
the main [kernel] of the people of Ammon.
42 He shall
stretch out his hand also against the other countries,
But the land of
Egypt shall not be among the escaped ones.
43 But he
shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver
And over all the
precious things of Egypt,
And the Libyans and
the Ethiopians shall accompany him
[Compelled to follow
his steps].
44 But rumors
from the east and from the north shall alarm and hasten him.
And he shall go
forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many.
45 And he
shall pitch his Palatial Tents between the seas
And the Glorious
Holy Mount [Zion];
Yet he shall come to
his End with none to help him.
[From verse 31–45, I
believe that Daniel is speaking
Not only of Antiochus's
invasion of Jerusalem, but of The Time Of The END.
Let's go back through
verses 31 through 45 and look at them again.
31 Much of what
is foretold about each time period is similar.
The armed forces of the
Antichrist will appear in the Holy Land;
He will defile the
Sanctuary of the Church of God;
He will take away all
worship of the God of Heaven;
He will set up in the
Church Buildings of Christianity his “image,”
Which is the
Abomination that causes Desolation.
(Again, it is
noteworthy that Hitler placed his swastika in every German Church.)
32 The Wicked
followers of the Antichrist will Corrupt with Flattery
Those within the Church
of God who can be corrupted;
But those Saints who
know their God
Shall be Strong and
carry out Great Exploits
Against the Antichrist and his regime.
(Hitler, a forerunner
of the Antichrist
Also corrupted those
within the Christian Church who could be corrupted.)
33 Those of the
Saints who understand who the Antichrist is
And what he is doing,
Shall instruct many as to how this all pertains to Scripture;
Yet for many days they
shall Fall by Sword and Flame,
By Captivity and
Plundering.
34 When the
“Instructors” Fall, they shall be aided with a little help;
But many shall pretend
to join them and actually be spies of the Antichrist.
35 Some of those
who Understand shall Fall, to Refine them, Purify them,
And make them White,
until The Time Of The END.
These will be leaders
within the Church of God.
36 The
Antichrist will do what ever he wishes;
He will Exalt and
Magnify himself above every god,
Shall speak Blasphemies
against the God of Heaven;
Shall Prosper till the
Wrath has been accomplished;
Until The Great
Tribulation is concluded with the return of Christ Jesus
At The Battle Of
Armageddon, where he is finally defeated and killed.
37 The
Antichrist will have no regard for the God of his fathers
Nor the one desired by
women, Christ, but will Magnify himself above all.
38 In the place
of God, the Antichrist will honor the god of Fortress;
A god his fathers did
not know, with gold and silver, and with precious stones
And pleasant and
expensive things.
It seems to me that
this is a Construction of his own making,
39 The
Antichrist will Overcome the Strongest Fortresses
With the help of a
foreign god (or fallen angel).
40 At the Time
Of The END, the king of the south, will attack him,
And at the same time
the king of the north, Russia, will attack him,
With a flood of men and
weapons.
This is the prelude to
The Battle Of Armageddon,
Where all the armies of
the world
Are gathered together
against God and His Christ.
41 The
Antichrist will enter into the land of Palestine and overthrow many,
But not Edom and Moab
and Ammon.
42 The
Antichrist will conquer many countries including Egypt.
43 The
Antichrist will take the treasures of all the countries he conquers,
Including Libya and
Ethiopia.
44 Rumors from
the east and from the north shall alarm him
And he shall go forth
with great fury and sweep many away.
45 The
Antichrist will pitch his Palatial Tents between the seas
And the Glorious Holy
Mount (Zion);
However he shall come
to his End with the coming of Christ Jesus
And none will help
him.]
