The
Antichrist’s
identity as the Syrian
king of the north
is fixed at the
time of the end
11:40 And
[1] at the time of the end shall [this
historical chapter of
fulfilled prophecy becomes prophetic at this point, it shifts to
the time of the end; this verse, along with the rest of this chapter proves that the
Antichrist is
the Syrian king of the north,
who:
(1)
Comes up from among the 10-horn / 10-toe kingdoms
of
the revised
Roman Empire; and
(2)
Arises out of one of the four divisions of the old
Grecian Empire (out of either Greece, Turkey, Syria or
Egypt—proved in this chapter to be Syria; see also How To Quickly Locate the Antichrist
in Scripture]
[a.] the king of the south [Egypt]
[11.]
push at him: and
[b.] the king of the north [the
Syrian Antichrist]
[11.]
shall come against him
[aa.]
like a whirlwind,
[ab.]
with chariots, and
[ac.]
with horsemen, and
[ad.]
with many ships; and
[c.] he shall enter into the countries, and
[11.]
shall overflow and pass over.
11:41 [1]
He shall enter
also
[a.] into the glorious land [Israel], and
[2] many [countries] shall be overthrown: but
[a.] these shall escape
[11.]
out of his hand, [even]
[1] Edom, and
[2] Moab, and
[3] the chief of the
[aa.]
children of Ammon
[In these areas the woman of
Rev. 12:1, Rev. 12:6, and
Rev. 12:13-16 is
hidden for 3 ½ years].
The
Antichrist
shall conquer Egypt
11:42 [3]
He shall stretch forth his hand also
[a.]
upon the countries: and
[b.]
the land
of Egypt shall not escape.
11:43 [4]
But he shall have power
[a.]
over the treasures of
[11.] gold and of
[12.] silver, and over
[13.] all the precious things of Egypt: and
[a.] the Libyans and
[b.] the Ethiopians [shall be] at
his steps [these are not the 3 nations uprooted by the little horn of
Dan.
7:8,
Dan.
7:20, and
Dan.
7:24,
as neither Greece nor Rome ever ruled over Ethiopia].
11:44 But tidings
[1] out of the east [Iraq and the kings of
the east] and
[2] out of the north [Turkey / Russia]
[a.]
shall trouble
him [they
want the money of
Dan 11:38, and vs. 43]:
[b.]
therefore he shall go forth
[11.]
with great fury
[12.] to destroy, and
[aa.] utterly to make away many.
The
Antichrist
comes to his end
11:45 And
[1] he shall plant the tabernacles
of his palace
[a.] between the seas
[b.] in the glorious holy mountain [the Antichrist breaks his 7-year covenant with Israel (Dan.
9:27)];
[2] yet he shall come to his end, and
[a.]
none shall help him (Rev. 19:20).
