I have written "The rise and fall of
Antichrist" since 2009. Here it goes.
The rise and fall of Antichrist begins
in Daniel 11:21. ( A slight revision)
Daniel 11:21 And in his estate shall
stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give
the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in
peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
Many bible scholars believe the vile
person is Antichrist. We also find this vile person in
Isaiah 32:6-7. His appearance shall be after the
rapture. The world shall plunge into chaos and
confusion. The most affected area are Christians
dominated countries U.S. and EU. EU currently has 27
members state. After rapture, it shall quickly
disintegrate into a ten horns alliance (Daniel
7:8). AC shall empower himself by obtaining this
kingdom by flatteries and intrigue. Scripture says he
is not given the honor of the kingdom. The reason is
because he is from Vatican (Isaiah 47:5-6). EU only
chooses their leader from their political ring. This
is the first time they elect a Pope to represent them.
Angel Gabriel prophesied AC is diverse from the first
( Daniel 7:24), that is, his predecessors. A Pope is
definitely different from the former EU heads.
Daniel 11:22 And with the arms of a
flood shall they be overflown from before him, and
shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
Who is this huge army which is
overthrown before him? I believe they are Gog's army.
AC first witness to world's major event is Gog/Magog
invasion on Israel, and Yahweh's intervention. And who
is the prince of the covenant? He is Gog, the leader
of this coalition which includes Iran and Turkey. What
is the covenant that the prince has? It is the
alliance he has with Iran, Turkey, members that join
him to invade Israel. What shall be his fate? He shall
be broken like the rest of the army.
Daniel 11:23 And after the league made
with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come
up, and shall become strong with a small people.
The key word is "the league made with
him". After the battle of Gog/Magog, there is a
political and power vacuum in the middle east region.
Russia is forced to retreat to their own territory,
with the powerhouse Iran and Turkey decimated by God.
AC shall capitalize this opportunity to form a new
alliance and league by aligning the western leg/EU and
eastern leg/Islamic states together. This is the
revival of Roman Empire. He shall become strong with a
small people. It is because this revival doesn't need
a referendum from every country but only consensus
from small amount of people /leaders. Ten kings shall
be appointed to rule this new alliance with AC (
Revelation 17:12). These are the ten toes in
Nebuchadnezzar's statue, half clay, half iron, the
final kingdom on earth before Jesus returns.
Daniel 11:24 He shall enter peaceably
even upon the fattest places of the province; and he
shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his
fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the
prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall
forecast his devices against the strong holds, even
for a time.
Which is this fattest places of the
province? The answer is Jerusalem. What shall AC do
when he enters Jerusalem? He shall confirm a covenant
with many nations including Israel. The covenant he
shall confirm is Abrahamic covenant by recognizing
Israel is the rightful heir to the holy land. He shall
expand Israel's territory to include the land of
Jordan (Zephaniah 2:9,Jeremiah 49:2). But at this
moment he shall also forecast his devices against the
stronghold which is Israel, even for a time. My belief
is he shall convince Israel to disarm all their
nuclear weapons and trick them to believe that they
don't need them anymore. He shall assure their
security with some sort of arrangement. When Israel
buys into his promise, Israel shall become vulnerable
to his plan later on which is the breaking of
covenant, and the subsequent invasion by him. See how
evil he is.
Daniel 11:25 And he shall stir up his
power and his courage against the king of the south
with a great army; and the king of the south shall be
stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty
army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast
devices against him.
From the subsequent verse 26 we learn
that the king of the south is Saudi who opposes his
plan, and refuses to forfeit the temple mount to
Israel for the purpose of the third temple. Saudi
never joins the previous two battles. They are the
three shepherds war/ the fourth transgression in Amos
1-2 and battle of Gog/Magog. She is the only Islamic
powerhouse left intact. She shall lead the Arab Sunni
nations Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Yemen to oppose AC's plan.
But Saudi shall not prevail.
Daniel 11:26 Yea, they that feed of the
portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army
shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
God is so amazing. He has left this
verse for us to identify who this king of the south
is. The portion of his meat is the millions barrels of
crude oil, which feed the western Europeans nations
everyday. They, the western European nations which
feed/import millions barrels of crude oil from him,
Saudi Arabia, shall destroy him.
Daniel 11:27 And both these kings'
hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak
lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet
the end shall be at the time appointed.
Strange thing occurs after AC battles
with king of the south. They both shall do mischief,
and they shall speak lies at one table, but their lies
shall not prosper, for yet the end shall be at the
time appointed. These two prominent figures, remind me
of the first beast and the false prophet in book of
Revelation 13 and their act together. This is why I
believe the king of the south is the false prophet.
God says their plan shall not prosper. I believe their
plan is the unification of RCC and Islam, creating a
largest religion in the world. At this moment,
Muslims shall question their Allah if he is real. Its
because their Allah has failed them during the
previous three battles. They are the 4th
transgression/three shepherds war, battle of
Gog/Magog, and the battle between AC the king of the
north and Saudi king of the south. Where was Allah
when they needed him the most? Their faith to Allah
begins to shake. AC shall convince them to join his
RCC at Islam weakest moment in history.
Daniel 11:28 Then shall he return into
his land with great riches; and his heart shall be
against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits,
and return to his own land.
AC shall return to his land with great
riches. At this time, he is completely possessed by
evil, and his heart shall turn against the holy
covenant. He also does exploits, and returns to his
own land. There are two "returns" being mentioned
here. His first return is Rome "return into his
land", while his second return is Shinar "return to
his own land". We learn this from Zechariah 5:5-11. A
woman shall move to Shinar, and sets there as her own
base, and builds a house there. Shinar is the ancient
Babel which is the origin of evil, pagan worship,
sorcery. When AC makes his move to Shinar, God sees AC
returning back to "his own land Babel". God shall deal
with AC and his mystery Babylon there. We have this
assurance from Revelation 17 and 18. Babylon is
fallen!!! fallen!!!
Daniel 11:29 At the time appointed he
shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall
not be as the former, or as the latter.
AC shall come toward south one more
time. But it shall not be like the previous one when
he battles with the king of the south, or as the
latter one when he breaks the covenant and invades
Israel in the middle of tribulation. The reason is
laid out in verse 30.
Daniel 11:30 For the ships of Chittim
shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved,
and return, and have indignation against the holy
covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and
have intelligence with them that forsake the holy
covenant.
I believe Chittim speaks of U.S. and
Canada. Remember the four beasts in Daniel 7. There
are three other formidable nations contemporary with
the fourth beast kingdom controlled by AC. The bear is
Russia, the leopard is China, while the lion with
eagle's wing is U.S. US will not join AC's fourth
beast and the ten toes alliance. U.S. is Chittim who
shall interrupt AC during his second attempt to the
south. But tragic thing happens after his failed
attempt toward the south, because he shall have
indignation against the holy covenant, and shall unite
those that forsake the covenant with him. We find this
tragic event from verse 31 to 35 which speaks of the
times of Jacob's trouble.
Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his
part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of
strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and
they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
32And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall
he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know
their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33And they
that understand among the people shall instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by
captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34Now when they
shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help:
but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35And
some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them,
and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time
of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
Verse 36 to 40 speaks of the haughtiness
of him. At this time he has already defiled the
temple, and imagine himself being God.
Daniel 11:36 And the king shall do
according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and
magnify himself above every god, and shall speak
marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall
prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that
that is determined shall be done. 37 Neither shall he
regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of
women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify
himself above all. 38 But in his estate shall he
honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers
knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and
with precious stones, and pleasant things. 39 Thus
shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange
god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with
glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and
shall divide the land for gain.
Up to this time, it has been a long
narration beginning with the first king of the south
in verse 5. Beginning from verse 40, God gives a
summary of what has been told, and what is to come.
This is why we are seeing the battle between king of
the north and king of the south again.
Daniel 11:40 And at the time of the end
shall the king of the south push at him (AC): and the
king of the north (AC) shall come against him (king of
the south) like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with
horsemen, and with many ships; and he (AC) shall enter
into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
We have already gone through this part.
Daniel 11:41 He shall enter also into
the glorious land, and many countries shall be
overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand,
even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of
Ammon.
He shall enter the glorious land which
is Jerusalem. This is near the middle of tribulation
and shall trigger the fall of Jerusalem and Israel.
Edom, Moab, and Ammon which is Jordan shall escape his
hand. His primary objective is Israel, not Jordan,
plus Jordan at this time has already been fallen into
Israel's hand for three years (Isaiah 16:13-14).
Jordan shall be delivered by him and regain their lost
territory to Israel (Obadiah 1:11-14).
Daniel 11:42 He shall stretch forth his
hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt
shall not escape.
After Israel,he shall go after Egypt.
Daniel 11:43 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 be at his steps.
Libya and Ethiopia shall also be at his
steps. They shall have the same fate with Egypt and
falls into AC's hand.
Daniel 11:44 But tidings out of the east
and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he
shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly
to make away many.
From Micah 5:5 we learn that when AC/the
Assyrian invades the holy land, God shall raise seven
shepherds and eight principalities to fray him (see
also Zechariah 1:18-21). This tiding from east and
north is China and Russia respectively. Together they
shall trouble AC, therefore he shall go forth with
great fury to destroy, and makes away many. This is
world war three and the sixth trumpet judgment we find
in Revelation 9. The "many" is one third of world
population we find in Revelation 9:15-18, killed by
this global nuclear warfare.
Daniel 11:45 And he shall plant the
tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the
glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end,
and none shall help him.
I believe at this time the city Babylon
is already destroyed per Revelation 18. It is very
close to the end of tribulation. But he is going to
make one more move to Jerusalem, to his palace there.
The global warfare has exhausted all nations. They are
recuperating and none shall help him, plus he has
already lost his credit being the messiah. But he
shall lead one more revolt against Christ by aligning
kings and nations in the valley of Megiddo ,to battle
with our Lord. By this time we all know how tragic his
end is, that is, eternally burned in the lake of fire.
