THE KING WHO EXALTS HIMSELF

(Daniel 11:36-45)

36 The king (the Beast) will do as he pleases.

HE WILL EXALT AND MAGNIFY HIMSELF ABOVE EVERY GOD

AND WILL SAY UNHEARD-OF THINGS AGANST THE GOD OF GODS.

HE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL

UNTIL THE TIME OF WRATH IS COMPLETED,

For what has been determined must take place.

37 He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers

Or for the one desired by women,

Nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all.

38 INSTEAD OF THEM, HE WILL HONOR A GOD OF FORTRESS;

A god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold and silver,

With precious stones and costly gifts.

39 He will attack the mightiest fortresses

With the help of a foreign god

And greatly honor those who acknowledge him.

He will make them rulers over many people

And will distribute the land at a price.

40 AT THE TIME OF THE END

The king of the South will engage him in battle,

And the king of the North will storm out against him

With chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships.

He will invade many countries

And sweep through them like a flood.

41 HE WILL ALSO INVADE THE BEAUTIFUL LAND

Many Countries will Fall,

But Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon

Will be delivered from his hand.

42 HE WILL EXTEND HIS POWER OVER MANY CONTRIES;

Egypt will not escape.

He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver

And all the riches of Egypt, with Libyans and Nubians in submission.

But reports from the east and the north will alarm him,

And he will set out in a great rage

To destroy and annihilate many.

He will pitch his royal tents

Between the seas at the Beautiful Holy Mountain.

YET HE WIL COME TO HIS END,

AND NO ONE WILL HELP HIM.

(Daniel 11:36-45)

[This is part of what the Beast of Revelation 13,

The Antichrist will do.

At the End of the Three and One-half years

Of God's Great Tribulation,

Christ Jesus returns and Defeats him

And he is thrown into the Lake of Fire.]
