THE COMING OF THE ANTICHRIST FROM DANIEL 11

 

THE COMING OF THE ANTICHRIST FROM DANIEL 11

31 The armed forces of his [the Antichrist] 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 and idol-altar].

32 And such as Violate the Covenant

He [the Antichrist] 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 Understanding

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.

(Daniel 11: 31-37, Amplified Version)
