Article #36
Daniel 11:36-45 (End of chapter 11)

 36 “The king (the anti-Christ) will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods (https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/2%20Thessalonians%202%3A4) He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed [7 year Tribulation; i.e. last 3 ½ years as Jacob’s Trouble], for what has been determined must take place. 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38[This is the same description that scripture gives of the anti-Christ; II Thessalonians 2:4] Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors 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 will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will *distribute the land at a price.

False Promises

*Socialism at its best is false promises. It has been and always will at the expense of achievers, previous ownership, earned rights to any property, best defined as bribery or redistribution of wealth but only to those who will follow the so-called white horse ‘peace maker’ anti-Christ. This type of culture violates Leviticus 25 – Jubilee.

 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 (armored tanks; military vehicles?] and cavalry [Infantry] and a great fleet of ships.

JIV NOTE: “At this time of the end…” This is a critical Daniel passage very much needed to better help our understanding of a previous article in this study per a future yet not here. We previously discussed the fact that neither the Jewish people nor the Islamists will relinquish their (G)god to follow the other. We stated that by comparison of the Ptolemy (Egypt) and the Seleucid (Syria) kingdoms of Daniel 11 we discover a two-pronged prophecy. The first prophetic prong has already been fulfilled between the time of Alexander the Great and the time of the Roman Empire. The second prong is the End Time 70th week of Daniel’s Seventy 7s; that is, the 7 year tribulation. We very possibly will have a northern anti-Christ kingdom and a southern Islamist kingdom. They both will challenge each other…until Jesus Christ comes to finish it all by setting up HIS millennial kingdom.

He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood [Antiochus IV did this after Rome warned him to make a decision before stepping out of the circle in the sand]. 41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land [Jerusalem/today’s Israel. Antiochus IV did this after being ejected from Egypt by the Romans]. Many countries will fall, but [the territories of…] *Edom, *Moaband the leaders of *Ammonwill be delivered from his hand [*Land of Jordan today, 2020]. 42 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will [eventually] not escape. 43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt, with the Libyans and Cushites (Nubians/Ethiopians) in submission. 44 But reports from the east [possibly China] and the north [possibly Russia] will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he [antichrist] will come to his end, and no one will help him.

JIV NOTE: To-date [2020], the above paragraph has not come about in history; only parts of it materialized under the wrath of Antiochus IV. It is yet to be played out by forces we are not yet able to specifically name and identify. We know their generic (pronoun) identities from Daniel 11 as a ruler of the north and a ruler of the south. When Christ returns to set up HIS millennial Kingdom, there will be none to stop this from happening. There will be no one to come to the aid of either the king of the north or the king of the south.

Where the global gathering will take place.

The global gathering will be the Battle of Armageddon. Megiddo exists today. It is about 50 miles north of Jerusalem best known for its’ massive valley plains. It also is where massive oil deposits have been recently discovered. https://www.prnewswire.com/il/news-releases/zion-oil–gas-signs-agreement-to-begin-3-d-seismic-acquisition-in-israel-300902653.html

Oddly, and according to the silent media, Russia through Hungary has already succeeded at signing with Israel an “oil field development contract” in this territory. (see map to the right; agreement signed between Zion Oil & Gas and Acoustic Geophysical Services KFT (“AGS”), an international seismic company based in Budapest, Hungary.

This is where Daniel swings into full future prophecy; prophecy yet to be completed in 2020 or beyond. Some fundamental theologians suggest this is evidenced beginning around verse 36 (We suggest beginning the dual prong prophecy begins in Daniel 11:22) until the end of this chapter. The absolute historical accuracy of verses 11:1-36 makes many historians, mediocre bible believers and historical bible revisionists want to suggest that this portion of Daniel was written AFTER the fact. If true, Daniel 11:1-36 was inserted in the text of the Book of Daniel long after this history/prophecy was complete after Daniel was deceased. In turn, this suggests that the prophecy was not futuristic, but history after the fact denying the inspired, infallibility of scripture and prophecy. [This is the secularist’s and liberal preacher point of view; denying scripture prophecy as telling of a future that had not yet become a history]

The underlying doubt of such a rather naïve (above) suggestion is that verses 36 to the end of this chapter are part of a history but cannot be connected to any historical events. Such scripture revisionists are not real bible believers and don’t want to admit that Daniel’s prophecies came from his own hand inspired of God therefore they deftly attempt to deny prophetic words. They want the bible to be good, but not THAT GOOD AND ACCURATE. This in itself [End Time prophecy] is how those who play church [but in my own personal opinion] are singing from the wrong songbook.

Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to read this for yourself. It took me many months of research to find the correct secular and historical names with events to fit the passages between verse 1 and 36/37 of Daniel 11. If I made any error it is unintentional. I could suggest that this transliteration of is about as close to a future actuality as we will get until God sends his Son to redeem and rapture the Church, telling us the real facts as recorded in Daniel 11. I suspect we won’t really care at that time. Praise God and pray for His quick return.

Restricting Restrictions

Feeling confine….

So do you feel restricted, shut in, bored, uneasy or as they used to say “got ants in your pants?” Well, you are not alone. At least by reading many posts on social media it seems the cornoravirus has really “upset the apple cart” of many lives. We have entered a new territory for many. Never before do I remember the Governor order people to stay home due to a virus. We are a Nation on the go. Before this most of us were out working, going to school, movies, sports, vacations, and the list goes on. In fact, a family usually meant a group of people who are related living under one roof but seldom seeing each other. Since the order of staying home, perhaps families will sit at the table and have supper together. Having supper together was the normal thing to do when I was a kid. We didn’t kill each other. We learned to get along. So there are some potential good things that can r esult fro having restrictions to stay home. Yet, there are many not so good results including loss of jobs, loss of businesses, loss of education, loss of mobility to those who need pool or other therapy.

Many have asked me how I am holding out being restricted/quarantine. Not much has changed for me. For many years the only places I went has been doctor appointments and to pool therapy. Sometimes I got out to church on Sunday. I do get out to the back yard daily to walk my Service dog Zilla. This whole thing has been an awakening to me how not normal I am. It is incredible how much other people get out. It seems to drive them crazy to stay home. Since I have had Multiple Sclerosis and many other issues that place limitations on my ability to get out; I want to share with you that we don’t have to allow restrictions to restrict us. I don’t and I won’t be restricted. To me, it is a heart issue.

Even when we are restricted to our homes we truly are a blessed Nation. Do we really know what living a restricted life is all about? Ask someone bedridden or in a wheel chair. Or how about a person thrown in jail in China, tortured or persecuted for their faith in Christ. When I start feeling confine by chronic pain and weakness, I think of my friend Bill Sweeny; he writes his blog using his eyes to type one letter at a time. He has ALS. Bill is a true inspiration to me. If you want perspective on being confine check out his blog at http://www.unshakeablehope.com Regardless if our only restriction is what the government puts on us or if it is our body that restricts us in every way, the truth is: we can be free. Totally free. When we choose this freedom; no chains can hold us, no disease can steal from us, no government can control us.

Jesus said the “Truth will make you free.” (John 8:32 NKJV) How? I will be celebrating Resurrection Day unrestricted but confine in my small apartment with my Service dog, Zilla and cat Abby. The Truth is Jesus set us free from death when He died for our sins and rose again. When we accept Him as LORD and Savior the chains of death are broken off. Life is fresh and our hearts are changed. As we build our relationship with the LORD through studying His Word and prayer we “SEE” differently, Things that used to be so important to us before are no longer important. The great thing is the things that used to upset us in life, no longer matter. Some of the most inspiring people in the world are those who have “lost it all in one way or the other” and found true freedom in their earthly losses. As a follower of Jesus Christ, we may be restricted by government but that is just circumstantial. We are free in Christ Jesus. Jesus went to the cross and He paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Knowing Him is freedom. He has a purpose for you and me as we journey in this life. We have joy unspeakable in the midst of grief over losses as it is not a joy the world gives. It is joy the Holy Spirit puts in our hearts. We can have peace in the midst of war. Restrictions or quarantine are things that will pass. Our Hope in Christ is knowing this life is but a vapor and then the party begins. We will be with the King of kings, LORD of lords. No more elections. No more fake news. No more pain or tears. We will have pleasures evermore and a freedom and love we never experienced on this earth. Why don’t the restrictions or quarantine bother me? My eyes are set and focused on the JOY set before me. Jesus. He is Life– unrestricted.. If you don’t know Him, you need to.
