I have written "The rise and fall of Anti Christ" in 2009. Some members might miss it. Here it goes. The rise and fall of anti Christ begins in Daniel 11:21. 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 Anti Christ. 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. It shall be easy for him to come on the scene to obtain the kingdom by flatteries. And since he is from Rome according to Daniel 9:26, let's focus the kingdom he shall obtain is Western Europe. We also learn that he shall have ten horns to help him rise up to power (Daniel 7:8). EU currently has 28 members state. After rapture, it shall quickly disintegrate into ten core members state. This is the kingdom he shall acquire. We also learn that he is not given the honor of the kingdom. The reason is because he is an outsider, and he is not a politician in waiting. He has no lineage in lining up to the kingdom, ( EU choose their head from their political circle, retired politicians). The only logical answer is he could be a religious leader, and by his flatteries and peace plan, he shall obtain the trust of this kingdom. 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 swept away before him? I believe they are Gog's army. His first witness to world's major event is Gog/Magog invasion on Israel, and Yahweh's intervention. And who is the prince of 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 military pact 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 Gog/Magog, there shall be a political and power vacuum left in the region after Russia is forced to retreat to their own territory, with the powerhouse Iran and Turkey being decimated. AC shall take 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 the Roman Empire. He shall become strong with a small people. It is because this revival doesn't need a referendum 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 Nebuchardnezzer's statue, half clay, half iron, the final kingdom 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. Who 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's 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 up of the covenant, and the subsequent invasion on Israel 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 rebuilding the third temple. Saudi never joins the previous two battles Psalm 83/ the fourth transgression in Amos 1-2 and 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 of barrels of crude oil, which feed the western Europeans nations everyday.They, the western European nations which feed 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. 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 into his land with great riches. At this time, he is completely possessed by evil, and his heart shall turn against the holy covenant. But why is "return to his own land" mentioned twice here? I believe his first return is Rome, while his second return is Shinar. We learn this from Zechariah 5:5-11 that 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 later. We have this assurance in 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. which shall 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. 37Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38But 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. 39Thus 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. At 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: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he 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 also enter the glorious land which is Jerusalem.This is in 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). 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 and his final attempt 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. Why would AC invade Egypt after Israel? Isaiah 19:1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. 2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. 3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. The spirit of the Lord shall visit Egypt.The timing is after AC invades Israel in mid-trib. Egyptian shall be greatly divided. Some shall follow AC while many shall oppose him. Civil war break outs with uprising in many area. This is why AC and the ten kings shall send in army to quell this uprising. But for those who oppose AC and the ten kings,it would be too late. Isaiah 19:4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. There have been many speculation as to who this cruel lord / fierce king is since Arab uprising.One of the speculation is Morsi. But I have pointed out in 2009 before the uprising that the cruel lord is AC.And the recent uprising in Egypt is not the fulfillment of Isaiah 19. Isaiah 19 shall be fulfilled during the second half of tribulation. The reason lies in verse 16 and 17. Isaiah 19:16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it. 17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it., The key word is "and the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt". Egyptian has just witnessed the terror occur in Israel. It shall be a terror unto Egypt because they are the next victim,whoever makes mention thereof shall be afraid in himself. Daniel 11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 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. When AC with the help of his ten kings invades Egypt and Ethiopia,will Ethiopia seek help? The answer is yes. Isaiah 18:1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: 2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled! They shall send a swift messenger to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled! Who is this nation? The answer is China. Unlike Caucasian and African,the Chinese is known for hairless on their body (peeled). Their nation is meted out and trodden down by mountains and rivers.And they have been living under fear for 4000 year.China has been ruled by many dynasties and emperors. Democracy is a rare term in China even up to now.The yellow river and Yangtze river have long been troubling them with floods for thousands of years.For a nation meted out and trodden down,whose land the rivers have spoiled,when we study the sculpture of China,we do find their territory and provinces are named according to their location to mountains and rivers,such as Hubei which means north of river, Shanxi which is west of mountain, Hunan which is south of river,and Shandon which is east of mountain.. When China engages AC and his ten kings,is this world war three? The answer is yes. From Daniel 11:44,we learn that not only China shall engage AC and his revived Roman empire,the regrouped Russia shall also involve in this global warfare. Lately we have seen China and Russia coming together. They shall eventually form a strategic alliance during the second half of tribulation. 2500 years ago God has already foretold this alliance. 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. How long shall Egypt and Ethiopia be fallen into AC's hand? Three years according to Isiah 20. Isaiah 20:2 At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. 3 And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; 4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. "three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia" Never in history we find these three years captivity on Egypt and Ethiopia carried out by an Assyrian king. These three years is still waiting for it's fulfillment. It shall be fulfilled during the second half of tribulation. What other nations shall be fallen together with Egypt and Ethiopia? Ezekiel 30:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day! 3 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen. 4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down. 5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. These nations are Libya,Lydia,Chub,and the men of the land that is in league. It does seem "a league" shall be formed among Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia,Chub,and all the mingled people there. They probably form a North African alliance at some point in the tribulation. Or we already have this league known as African Union with their headquarter situated in Ethiopia. Daniel 11:21-45 is the most detailed description of Anti Christ. This is why angel Gabriel was stopped by prince of Persia for 21 days,because Satan didn't want this message be heard. God was exposing his end time plan. It begins with how he comes to power and obtains the kingdom by flatteries,how he capitalize Gog/Magog,by forming a league with small amount of people.How he enters Jerusalem and confirms a covenant with many,but at the same time he is plotting an evil device against Israel,and later on his battle with king of the south. He shall prevail while king of the south succumbs to him. But these two kings shall do mischief,and speaks lies at one table,for the end shall be at the time appointed. Tragic thing occurs when he goes up against Israel in the middle of tribulation. This war shall also spread to Egypt and north African nations. While China and Russia are watching,they shall eventually get involved in this conflict when Ethiopia sends a swift messenger to China to seek help. This is the sixth trumpet judgment and the beginning of world war three. At the end of this world war three,no one shall come to his help. He has deceived all nations with his sorcery and witchcraft, these nations shall know his true color by then. His final act is to gather nations in the valley of Megiddo, anticipating the return of our Lord. People may want to know why will China get involved in this conflict when AC invades Egypt and Ethiopia. Under one belt one road initiative, China has enormous interest and investment in African states. China even helped them to build the African Union headquarter in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. They also see themselves as the leader of third world countries. Since Mao, they have developed a close relationship with African states. I have attached an article to show how close China is with these African countries. How long will the battle last between king of the north / AC and king of the south / Saudi Arabia? One year according to Isaiah 21:13-16. Isaiah 21:13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim. 14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled. 15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. 16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: 17And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it. "Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail." Thank you 2nd Coming for your research. I enjoyed reading it. Very interesting! I personally still lean though that the AC will be a political person and the False Prophet will be a religious figure, but we know a Kumbaya party is being planned in the Saudi Arabia desert with the One World Order “church” building along with the One World Order global prize celebration from the Hollywood elite is happening. All these signs of the times indicate the rapture is very near! Geoffrey Grider of “Now the End Begins” in his Dec 20th article states “the Vatican now makes its move to bring Judaism into Chrislam as the “third pillar” of the “Abrahamic faiths”. And Geoffrey Grider posted “Singer John Legend and Hollywood elites meet in London to hand out “Global Citizen Prize” under the watchful Illuminati all-seeing eye” Interestingly, they did it with a stage set that was built around the Illuminati All-Seeing Eye, just like Kanye West did at Lakewood Church with Joel Osteen. If you’re a prophecy watcher, things will really get good when the All-Seeing Eye Hollywood crowdmerges with Pope Francis and his One World Religion of Chrislam. That is right around the corner, I promise you. - Fair Use-
