The
Antichrist
now turns against Israel—at the
appointed set time
11:28 [1]
Then shall he [the Antichrist] return into his land [Syria]
[a.]
with great riches [the wealth of Egypt (Dan. 11:43)]; and
[2] his heart [shall be] against
the holy covenant [the covenant of blessing
that God made with Abraham (Gen. 12:1-3), and the restored Law of Moses]; and
[3] he shall do [exploits],
[a.]
and return to his own land.
11:29 At the time appointed [at
the set time]
[1] he shall return, and
[2] [he shall] come toward the south [toward Israel];
[a.]
but it shall not be as the former,
[11.]
or as the latter.
11:30 For
[3] the ships of Chittim [Rome / the 10-nation confederacy]
[a.]
shall come against him:
[b.]
therefore he shall be grieved,
[11.]
and return, and
[4] [he shall] have indignation
[be furious]
[a.] against the holy covenant (vs. 28):
[5] so shall he do;
[a.]
he shall even return, and
[b.]
[he shall] have intelligence [he shall confer with]
[11.]
with them that
forsake
[aa.] the holy covenant [the compromising Jews].
A composite drawing of Midweek
11:31 And arms shall stand
on his part, and
[1] they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and
[2] shall take away the daily [sacrifice] [animal sacrifices
under the restored Law of Moses], and
[3] they shall place the abomination
[a.] that maketh desolate [sacrifice a pig of the alter].
11:32 And such as do
wickedly against the covenant (vs. 28)
[1] shall he corrupt by flatteries [the
compromising Jews]: but
[a.] the people that do know their God [Jews born again after the Rapture of the Church]
[11.] shall be strong, and
[12.] do [exploits].
11:33 And they that understand
[1]
among the
people (vs.
35)
[a.] shall instruct many:
[b.]
yet they shall
fall [the
men
of understanding and the people] by the
[11.] sword, and by
[12.] flame, by
[13.] captivity, and by
[14.] spoil, [many] days. [Those that understand among the people
are born again Jews who, like Daniel
(vs. 9:2), “understand by books” that they missed the first coming of their
Messiah; and that they are in the middle
of Daniel’s 70th week (Dan.
9:24-27). For this knowledge they are
killed, but have their part in the kingdom
at Messiah’s second coming (Dan. 12:10,
Dan. 12:13).]
[2] when they shall fall [the
men of understanding],
[a.]
they shall be holpen [helped]
[11.]
with a little help:
[b.] but many shall cleave to them
[11.] with flatteries [hypocrisy].
