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)
