Shalom, my dear brothers and sisters. We are very thankful to the Lord for His help in the study of the book of Daniel, the prophecy that the Lord had given to Israel and to us all through His servant Daniel during the time that the Jewish people were in captivity. And Daniel, by divine inspiration, was used by the Holy Spirit of God to pen down for us this wonderful prophecy that's called the prophecy of Daniel. We have arrived to chapter 11, and in this ministry meeting, I would like to read with you the book of Daniel, chapter 11, verses 36 to 45. And this will be the third message on Daniel, and really, beloved brothers and sisters, the topic of this message of Daniel, verses 36 to 45, is the final vision of Daniel, the Antichrist, and the final worldwide religious system.

And this is a very important portion of Scripture, which shows us that Daniel, in days of old, received already information concerning the last days. In Hebrew, the last days and the final days, which is including the tribulation days, and ultimately, the coming of the Messiah Yeshua at His second coming, and the judgment of the Antichrist at the second coming of the Messiah. And so please follow me as I'm reading Daniel, chapter 11, verses 36 to 45. And so we read: "And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of God, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that that is determined shall be done.

neither shall he regard the God of his will, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above all. But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces; and a God whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold and silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most stronghold 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. And at that time of the end, shall the king of the south, 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.

He shall enter also into the glorious land. 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 stretch forth his hand also upon the country; and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 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. 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.

And he shall plant the tabernacle of his palace between the seas of the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. And so here we are, beloved brothers and sisters, we read Daniel 11 verses 36 to 45. Let me remind you that this portion in Daniel chapter 11 is actually the third division of Daniel chapter 11. Again, to remind you, Daniel 10, 11, and 12 are together as one unit; and they are forming the final end-time prophetic vision that Daniel received. So when we read Daniel 10, 11, and 12, really we need to read them together, because this is the final of end-time prophetic vision that Daniel received. And as we learn this together in our study together, we have learned that there are three major points here in Daniel chapter 11.

Of course, in chapter 10, we have learned of the fact that the angel ministered to Daniel and came to him to help Daniel understand the vision that he sees. And chapter 11 gives us this long history that is presented before us concerning the times of the Gentiles. Again, beloved brothers and sisters, always I am reminding us all that Daniel was speaking specifically concerning his people, the Jewish people, and his city, the city of Jerusalem. Daniel didn't understand church truth. Daniel didn't understand church truth. And therefore, we always have to bear in mind that the revelation that Daniel gives us through the prophecy that he received is specifically in connection with the world, the earth, his people, the Jewish people, and the city of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel.

And how the Jewish people and the city and the land of Israel are being treated by the rulers that will rule during the times of the Gentiles. The times of the Gentiles began from the time that Daniel was carried captive, 605 BC, or we might say even closer, 586 BC, when the temple was destroyed by the Babylonian and our Jewish people were taken captive to Babel. The times of the Gentiles will come to an end at the second coming of our Lord, Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus the Messiah, Israel's ultimate restoration, when Israel as a nation will recognize that indeed, this Yeshua, this Jesus is truly the promised Messiah.

And Israel will accept him, and Israel will accept him, and all Israel shall be saved, as we have read both in the prophet Isaiah and also in the book of Romans, when the apostle Paul said to the Roman believers, in Romans 11, verse 25, For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles become in, and so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written. They shall come out of Zion, the deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob, for this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins, as concerning the gospel they are enemies, for your sakes.

Paul said to the gentle believers in Rome, he said, but as touching election, they are beloved for their father's sake, for the gift and calling of God are without repentance, unchangeable. This is Romans 11, verses 25 to verse 29. And so, beloved brothers and sisters, Daniel is giving to us, in this last and final end-time prophetic vision, the final days of the times of the Gentiles. And in this 11th and 12th chapter, we really look over the final portion of the times of the Gentiles, and the ultimate restoration of the people of Israel, and the establishment of the Messianic kingdom, and the second coming of Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus the Messiah.

And so, if you remember, in chapter 11, we looked over the fact that in verses 1 to 20, we see a portion of the times of the Gentiles, we see the Grecian empire taking over the Medo-Persian empire, and we can see that there was a north and south conflict between the generals of Alexander the Great, who died, and the Grecian kingdom had been divided, the empire had been divided into four kingdoms, north, south, east, and west, and there was a constant conflict between these four generals and their descendants in the whole history of the Grecian empire, until there was a settlement of these four divisions, but continuously there was a conflict between the north and the south.

The north is north of Israel, it is Syria, and the south is the south of Israel, and this is Egypt. So, the two rulers of the divided empire, the Grecian divided empire, consistently had a conflict between one another, and that's why in the first 20 verses, we have learned once and again, we have read of the king of the south, verse 5, coming against the king of the north, verse 6, and then again, the king of the north, verse 7, against the king of the south, in verse 9, and so on, Egypt against Syria, Syria against Egypt, and all the kings and the rulers that have followed the first four generals who took over the Grecian empire.

So, in the first 20 verses, we have learned about the Grecian, northern, and southern conflict that existed for years after years after years, until we learn here, in the second portion of Daniel chapter 11, in verse 21 to verse 35, we learn of a single person by the name of Antiochus Epiphanes, who was the Syrian-Grecian king who expended his power, and he's the one that, a Seleucus line, and he's the one, the king that caused a lot of trouble to the Jewish people, and he's the one who committed in his days the abomination of desolation by putting a pig in the temple in Jerusalem, offering a pig, and putting an image of Zeus, desiring that the Jewish people will worship him.

Antiochus IV, who began from 173 BC to 164 BC, when he died, and he's the one that was persecuting the Jewish people for a long period of time, 173 to 164 BC until he died. And he sought to, you might say, to destroy the Jewish faith in the true and living God, asking our people, the Jewish people, to stop to be circumcised, to stop to keep the law, to stop to celebrate the feast that God had given to Israel, the feast of Jehovah, the feast of the Lord, and to stop to worship in the temple, and he wanted them to worship him. He wanted them to eat pagan food, food that was offered to idols, and he, ultimately, he was defeated by the Maccabees, by the Jewish zealots, who fought against the Grecian Syrian armies, and ultimately have rededicated the desecrated temple, and that's where the celebration of the feast of Hanukkah have been kept by our Jewish people since 165 BC, when the temple was rededicated by the Maccabees, and the Jewish people could go back and worship in the temple in the city of Yerushalayim.

But now, beloved brothers and sisters, we just read the third portion in Daniel chapter 11, which begins from verse 36 and takes us all the way to verse 45, to the end of this 11th chapter. Now, this chapter is very important, and this last portion is very important, because right now we need the Lord's help to grasp that we are now shifting. The Spirit of God is now shifting from the age and the time of Antiochus Epiphanes, the one that have committed the abomination of desolation in the city of Yerushalayim in his days, then the Spirit of God is now moving us to the final days beyond the church age, all the way to the tribulation period, where another king, another wicked man will rise, which we know him today as the Antichrist.

And that Antichrist, in Hebrew we call it Soten HaMashiach, this Antichrist is called here the willful king, who will rise up in the final days before and during the tribulation period. Now, remember that in between, in between the time in which we read up till verse 35 of Daniel chapter 11, until the coming of that Antichrist, the willful king in the tribulation days, just before the tribulation and during the tribulation, all this period of time in between, we know that the church was born, the Messiah has come at his first coming, he was not accepted by our people Israel as the Mashiach, and then since his death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah, the church, the assembly, the ecclesia has been formed.

And now, some 2,000 years have passed by, and we are living in the final days of the church age, in the Laodicean days, when there is decline and departure, and the sad condition in the church age, and soon, the Lord Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah, who is the head of the assembly, the head of the church, of the ecclesia, he will take out of this world, they will rapture the assembly, the true believers of the true assembly, the dead in Christ shall rise first, and we which are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

And after that, when we are going to be in heaven, that is the ecclesia, the assembly, the true body of Messiah, then there will be events that will occur on earth, such as the seven year of tribulation, of which we have already studied in Daniel chapter 9, specifically in verses 24 to the end, to verse 27, we have already covered that, that there will be this one week, and he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week, this is one week, one seven of years, seven years, and in the midst of the seven years, this man will cause the abomination of desolation, that is specifically will happen during the middle of the tribulation period, when the Antichrist, as we know him as Sotten HaMashiach, the false Messiah, will claim to be God, and seek all men to worship him, and that is the portion that we enter in now, as we begin in the study of Daniel chapter 11, verses 36 to 45.

And so I wish beloved brothers and sisters, that all of us will understand this, that again Daniel is speaking about his brethren, his Jewish people, and his city of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel, and the promises of God ultimately to restore Israel back to himself, but there will be still events that will take place, before Israel is finally restored to God through the person of Yeshua the Messiah, and the kingdom will be established. So if we understand that, we have here this end time final vision of Daniel continues. And while he received information of the Grecian empire that was divided, and the kings of the north and the south, conflict between one another, Syria and Egypt, Israel in the middle, Jewish people always in the middle, of the conflict and suffering in between.

And he's now leading us all the way to the future. Conflict that the Jewish people will experience when another king will rise, Antiocho's epiphanies is but a type and a picture of another greater wicked man that will rise, and he will cause havoc in the world, and in among the, and against the Jewish people. And so, beloved brothers and sisters, notice that in chapter 11 and verse 35, where we concluded in our last study together, we have a connecting verse. That verse read, And some of them of understanding shall fall to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, pure, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for a time appointed.

Notice this very interesting verse in verse 35 of Daniel chapter 11. This is the connecting verse that now lead us from Antiochus days from 165 BC when the temple was rededicated in the city of Jerusalem by the Jewish Maccabees who restored the temple after the desecration of the temple by Antiochus epiphanies. Now we are moving all the ages. From that time, from 165 BC, we are really moving to the final days. In fact, there's more than 2,000 years between verse 34 and 35, and also verse 36, because in verse 36, we are now taken to the times of the end. And notice the connecting verse, of course, is verse 35. So there are many, many lessons that Israel will experience.

Daniel is teaching and receiving the ministry from that angel, that it will be a time to try them, a time to purge them, a time to make them white, to purify them, even to the time of the end, until the final days, and that is the final days of the seven-year tribulation, when there will be the rise of another wicked man, another king, another one that will be the true antichrist, the true counterfeit messiah that will oppose God, oppose the messiah, oppose the Jewish people, and will seek to take the place of Yeshua, Jesus the messiah, for himself. So this verse 35 is important to understand as we are moving along to the final portion of the vision in chapter 11.

Of course, chapter 12 will continue the vision explained by the angel to Daniel, but here, notice, beloved brothers and sisters, verses 36 to verse 45, divided into two sections. Here we see the antichrist and the final worldwide religious system that will occur, specifically during the seven years of the tribulation period. Notice, in verses 36 to verse 45, we have this future coming willful king. All these verses are divided into two sections. Verses 36 to verse 39, there is the rise of the willful king, who is the antichrist, in a future time of the end. And then verses 40 to 45, gives us the events during the rule of the willful king, of that antichrist, the counterfeit messiah.

So let's begin with verse 36 to verse 39, and you notice that we read in verse 36, That's how we get this expression, the willful king, because he will do according to his will. This is verse 36 in the beginning. Now, I just want to mention here a very important fact that God's word presents before us the antichrist. That name antichrist is really taken from the epistle of John, where we read in 1 John chapter 2 and verse 22, we do read of the passage that really gives us this expression of what we call it today, the antichrist. The word antichrist does not only speak of someone who is against Christ or against the Mashiach, but the word antichrist also has the thought of like Christ or like the Mashiach.

In 1 John chapter 2 verse 22, we read, And you notice he's speaking here about a single person, because there are many people who are against Christ. There are many who are antichrist, against the Messiah, many antichrists in plural. But here it is a single person who is a liar, but he is a single person that denies that Jesus is the Christ, that Yeshua is the Messiah. He is antichrist. Here where we get that word antichrist. In Greek, it's called the one that is the one that is against the Messiah, but not only against the Messiah, he is the one that is seeking to take the place of the Mashiach.

In Hebrew, he is called the one that is called Soten HaMashiach. Soten HaMashiach is against the Messiah, but we know very well that he will seek to take the place of our Lord and Savior, Yeshua, the Messiah. So he is that antichrist. And now that willful king of Daniel chapter 11 and this verse 36, he has many names in Scripture that has a reference to this person. In fact, in Genesis 3.15, he is called the seed of Satan. In Isaiah 14 and verse 4, he is called the king of Babylon. In Zechariah, chapter 11, verses 16 and 17, he is called the idol shepherd. In Daniel 7 and verse 8, he is called the little horn.

In Daniel 8 and verse 23, he is called the king of furious countenance. In Daniel 9 and verse 26, he is called the prince that shall come. In Daniel 9 and verse 27, he is called the desolator. In Daniel 11 and verse 36, where we are, he is called the willful king. HaMelech she'oseh kir tsono. In 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 3, he is called the man of sin. In 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 3, he is also called the son of perdition. In Hebrew, ben ha'avadon. In 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 8, he is called the lawless one. And of course, in 1 John 2.22, he is called soten ha-mashiach, the antichrist. And finally, in Revelation 11 and verse 7, he is called ha-chayad, the beast.

Also in Revelation chapter 13. Now you will notice that this person is rising from among the Gentile world, who is the antichrist, who is seeking to take the place of the Messiah. In the latter days of the tribulation place, he will rise up and he will seek to take the place of the Messiah during the tribulation day. And so we read about him in verse 36 of Daniel chapter 11, And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished, for that that is determined shall be done.

You notice, beloved brothers and sisters, that this willful king, according to verse 36, he is, first of all, will exalt himself, he will magnify himself above every god. You see that? It says here in verse 36, And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, or shall speak marvelous things against the God of God, and shall prosper until the indignation, notice that, be accomplished, for that that is determined shall be done. In fact, the apostle Paul gave us a description of this person in the book of 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, where we read in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, and verses 3 and 4, Let no man deceive you, by any means, for that day shall not come, except there shall come a falling away first, apostasia, and that man of sin be revealed the son of perdition, who opposes, listen to verse 4, who opposes and exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped.

So he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Now, this hasn't happened yet, because the apostle Paul is speaking about the temple of God, that will be built again. That temple, of course, is the tribulation temple, which God will not sanction. That man of sin, that son of perdition, that deceiver, that willful king, will rise in a future day, during the tribulation period. Of course, he will be here before the tribulation will begin. He will sign a covenant with our Jewish people in a future day for seven years, and he will seek to take the place of the Messiah, and seek everyone to worship him.

That's why it says, in verse 4 of 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, so that he, as God, sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. He will seek to take the place of the Mashiach, God the Son, and he will seek to take the place of the Messiah, and he will claim to be the one that everyone ought to worship. So, he will exalt himself, he will magnify himself, verse 36 of Daniel 11, above every God, above every God. And he shall speak marvelous things. This word for marvelous things is really a wonder of things of blasphemies against God. He will be the one that will speak against the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and he will be that one that will speak and will do according to his own will.

In fact, not only what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 we can read, but we can also see what Yohanan, John, the Apostle, what he tells us about this wicked man in Revelation chapter 13 there, when he is speaking about the tribulation period, he is speaking about the rise of two beasts. The beasts that will rise from the sea, and the beasts that will rise from the land, the earth. The first beast is the counterfeit Messiah, the Antichrist, the one that will seek to take the place of our Messiah, of Jesus, and the second beast is the false prophet, that will seek to take the place of the Holy Spirit of God.

Along with Satan, we have the counterfeit triune false God. Notice what we read in Revelation chapter 13, about, he says, And I stood upon the sand of the sea, verse 1, and I saw a beast rise up out of the sea. Then I just want to read about how he was speaking. It says, beloved brothers and sisters, about him, that he sought everyone to follow after him. In verse 4 it says, They worshipped the dragon and gave power unto the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast, and who is able to make war with him? And we do read of him that he fought against the people of Israel, but it says in verse 6, specifically in the second half of the tribulation period, he opens his mouth in blasphemy against God.

Revelation 13 and verse 6. To blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. This is that beast, that willful king of Daniel chapter 11 and verse 36. And you notice, he shall prosper, according to verse 36. How long? Until the indignation. Beloved brothers and sisters, this word indignation, that is found here in Daniel chapter 11 and verse 36, is the Hebrew word za'am. Until the za'am be accomplished. Until the za'am kala in Hebrew. It means until the righteous indignation of God against sin, and also in discipline against his people Israel, this man will be allowed to exalt himself during the tribulation period. And to magnify himself above every God.

And to speak blasphemies against the God of God, against the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And that will be allowed, according to verse 36b, until the indignation be accomplished, for that that is determined shall be done. In other words, God have determined that there will be the seven year of tribulation period. It's called, in the prophet Jeremiah, God calls it, Jeremiah prescribed it as Jacob's trouble. In Hebrew we call it Sarat Yaakov. Jeremiah 30, and verse 6 and 7, Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child, Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loyens, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it. It is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he, that is Jacob, shall be saved out of it. It was our Lord Yeshua, the Messiah, in Matthew chapter 24, who called it, Then shall be great tribulations, such as have never been here upon the face of this earth, since this world was made, beloved brothers and sisters. This is exactly what Yeshua, Jesus, our Messiah, said concerning the tribulation period. Let me read you, in Matthew chapter 24, and verse 21, For then shall be great tribulations, such as was not since the beginning of the world, to this time, no, no, ever shall be.

This is the indignation, the za'am, that is found, in Daniel chapter 11, and verse 36. And so, this willful king, according to verse 36, he will exalt himself. This willful king, he will speak marvelous things, or blasphemies against the God of gods. And he, this willful king, will be allowed to do so, until the za'am, Sarat Yaakov, Jacob's trouble, will come to an end, when God, through the Messiah Yeshua, will destroy that wicked man, that is called here, the willful king. In verse 37, beloved brothers and sisters, we read, that the future willful king will come, and he will not regard the gods of his fathers, neither will he regard the desire of women.

And you know, this is very interesting, because, because of this statement here, in verse 37, many things, that this willful king, will be from among the Jewish people, from among the nation of Israel, that he will be that willful king. But, the context of the whole book of Daniel, especially here, beloved brothers and sisters, we have learned, that the wicked man, that will be there, in the tribulation period, will rise from among the nations of the world, specifically, the revived Roman Empire. And that's why, where it says here, neither shall he regard the God, of his fathers, oftentimes, people take this to mean, the God of his fathers, because it is an expression, that is mentioned many times, in the Hebrew scriptures, God of our fathers, Elohei Avoteinu.

But it is important to understand here, I believe it is King James, and the new King James, that have translated here, the word God of his fathers, with a capital G, but in actuality, it's, in Hebrew, it is called Elohei, it's a plural, the gods of his fathers. That does not have a reference, to the God of Israel, but it has a reference, to a pagan God. All along, when you read here, the whole chapter, you find out, that when it's speaking about, the true and living God, it is presented, in singular. Such as, for example, in verse 36, and the king shall not, shall do according to his will, and shall exalt himself, and magnify himself, above every God, and shall speak marvelous things, against the God of gods, in Hebrew, El Elin, this is a singular, God of Israel.

In verse 38, it says, but in his place, shall he honor the gods of fortress, notice what it says here, that he will honor the gods of fortress, that has a reference, to the idols, but when it's come, to the true and living God, it's always in the context, here of our chapter, it is spoken in singular, but here in verse 37, the gods of his father, has a reference, to the pagan gods, that his fathers, have worshipped, and he will not regard, the foreign gods, of his fathers. I wanted to remind you, that in Daniel chapter 9, when we studied, the topic of the 77th, in verse 26, of the study of Daniel 9, we read, after three score, and two weeks, this is after, the period of time, the three score, and two weeks, that the Messiah, shall be cut off, and not for himself, and notice that, it says in verse 36, and the people, of the prince, that shall come, shall destroy the city, and the sanctuary.

Who are the people, that destroyed, the temple, and the city of Jerusalem? It was the Romans. And therefore, that prince, of these people, that will rise up, in a future day, will be, from among, the Roman Empire, who will rise up, to seek, to take the place, of the Messiah. And so, saying, that verse 37, applied to, any from among Israel, is just simply, not in light, of what we have here, in the context of, Daniel chapter 2, chapter 7, and chapter 9, of the prophecy, of Daniel. Let me just remind you, also, beloved brothers, and sisters, that this willful king, will rise from the nations, of the world, because according, to Daniel chapter 2, verse 32, 33, and 34, we read, in the interpretation, of the dream, that Nebuchadnezzar dream, Daniel, tell him, in verse 32, this image head, was of a fine gold, the breast, and his arm, was silver, his belly, and his thigh, were brass, his legs, was iron, and his feet, partly iron, and partly clay.

In other words, he is reminding, Nebuchadnezzar, that all these rising up, of the kings, these kings, will be, from among the nations, of the world. Notice, he continues, and he says, in verse 34, until you saw, a stone cut, without hand, and he will smite it, upon the feet, at least, the ten toes, that were of iron, and of clay, and break them in pieces, when the Messiah will come, he will destroy, the kingdoms, of this world, and the rulers, of this world, that will rise up, from among the nations, of the world. Now the Jewish people, the vast majority, of them, during the tribulation period, will experience persecution, because they didn't follow, God, the God of their fathers, but that particular prince, is the one, that will rise up, from the revived Roman Empire.

In Daniel chapter 7, in verse 23, we read, and he said, the fourth beast, shall be, the fourth kingdom, upon the earth, which shall be diverse, from all the kingdom, and he shall devour, the whole earth, and shall tread upon it, and break it in pieces. This, is, the future, Roman Empire, that will be revived. In verse 24, of chapter 7, we do read, and the ten horns, out of this kingdom, there are ten kings, that shall rise, and another, shall rise, after them, and he shall be diverse, from the first, and he shall subdue, three kings, and he shall speak, great words, against the most high, this is the ruler, that will rise out, from the revived Roman Empire, and he will oppose, and war, against the saints, and against the law, and therefore, beloved brothers and sisters, the context, of Daniel chapter 11, tells us, that this king, willful king, will not, regard the gods, plural, of his, pagan fathers, from the nations, of the world.

Secondly, it says, in verse 37, that he will have, no desire, of women, nor regard, any God, and he shall magnify himself, above all.

Here's a second expression, here that is found, in verse 37, that again, surprisingly, in light of the context, some believe, because, it says here, that the king, he will not, they have the desire, of women, will not want, the desire, of women, so, often time, you hear, those who say, that it was, the desire, of the women, the Jewish women, that, they will give birth, to the Messiah, and therefore, it must be, a Jewish person, but again, beloved brothers, and sisters, where do we read, that the Jewish women, desired, in scripture, in anywhere, we read, that the Jewish women, desired to give birth, to the Messiah, of course, the Messiah, would come out, of Miriam,

a Jewish woman, but it is not, in the context, the desire, of women, he will not, desire, what is in women, it suggests here, that this person, will be so occupied, with himself, that he will not, regard anyone, he will not regard, the gods, of his fathers, nor, he will regard, the desire, of women, nor, will he regard, any god, for he shall, magnify himself, above all, he will be so, self-centered, occupied, with himself, that he will, simply, will not regard, anyone, this is what you call, the selfish, I, the selfish, me, that is, comes out, of a sinful nature, that we, all have, but here, we see the climax, that is seen here, in

the willful king, in the counterfeit messiah, in the antichrist, that is presented, before us here, in these verses, there is a verse, in the book, of Haggai, that is very interesting, verse, concerning, the desires, of the nations, of course, but you see, beloved brothers, and sisters, the desire, that women have, that men have, that people have, a desire, is often, is very selfish, according to, Haggai, chapter 2, and verse 6, there we read, for thus says, the Lord of hosts, yet once, it is, a little while, and I will shake, the heavens, and the earth, and the seas, and the dry land, and I will shake, all nations, and the desires, of all nations, shall

come, and I will fill, this house, with glory, sayeth the Lord of hosts, now again, it says here, the desires, of all nations, again, beloved brothers, and sisters, is it the desires, of all the nations, that the Messiah will come, in fact, men love darkness, rather than light, men does not want, God to come, men does not want, anything to do, with God, men, by nature, only wants, his own way, and as far as, God is concerned, God, I do not want you, by nature, we do not want God, so we cannot take, this verse, in Haggai chapter 2, and verse 7, it says, the desire, of the nation, that it will come, will be

that the Messiah, will come, but it's not, the truth, the human nature, do not desire, the coming of the Messiah, they simply, desire, self-will, this is exactly, how sin came, into this world, there is a verse, in Isaiah chapter 60, and verses 5, 6, and 7, then thou shalt see, and flow, together, and thine heart, shall fear, and be enlarged, because the abundance, of the sea, shall be converted, unto thee, the forces, of the Gentiles, shall come, unto thee, the multitude, of camels, shall come, unto thee, the dromedaries, of Midian, and Ephah, all they, from Sheba, shall come, unto thee, they shall bring, gold, and incense, and they, shall show, forth, the praises, of the

Lord, and you notice this, in verses 5, 6, and verse 7, says, and the flocks, of Kedar, and the gathering, together, unto thee, and the rams, and Abayot, shall minister, unto thee, they shall come, up, with acceptance, on mine, altar, and I will, glorify, the house, of my glory, in other words, the desire, of the nations, is basically, silver, and gold, and precious stones, and all the wealth, that exists, in this world, this is the desire, of the nation, and then, now all these desires, that they had, now they will bring it, in the future day, to God, because what the desire, for themselves, will now be brought, to God, and so therefore, beloved brothers,

and sisters, this willful king, will not regard, the gods, plural, of his fathers, and he will not, regard the desire, of women, but he will not, regard any God, but he shall, magnify himself, above all, selfishness, all the way through, not like the true Messiah, Yeshua himself, but the false Messiah, who will oppose, God, and God's will, and so in verses 38, and 39, we find of the doings, of the willful king, and the program, of the willful king, we read in verse 38, but his estate, shall he honor, shall he honor, the God of forces, the God, whom his father knew not, shall he honor, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stones,

and pleasant things, thus shall he do, in the most stronghold, 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, in other words, this antichrist, this willful king, he will worship, Satan, that will be, the false religion, that will exist, during the tribulation period, specifically, during the second half, of the tribulation, when he will, situate himself, in the temple, in Jerusalem, claiming to be the Messiah, claiming to be God, and there will be, this antichrist, counterfeit, Messiah religion, that will happen, during the tribulation period, which he, himself, will force upon, the people of the world, during these

days, of the tribulation period, we read, beloved brothers and sisters, in second Thessalonians, chapter two, and verse eight, and then, shall that wicked, be revealed, whom the Lord, shall consume, with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy, with the brightness, of his coming, notice, notice what it says, in verse nine and ten, even him, who is coming, is after working, of Satan, this prince, this wicked person, this man of sin, this willful king, this antichrist, his working, will be after Satan, and with all power, and signs, and of lying wonders, this will be the religion, of the world, during the tribulation period, satanic religion, verse 10, and with all deceivableness, of unrighteousness, in them

that perish, because they receive, not the love of the truth, that they might be saved, in other words, he will deceive the world, with this religious system, which is really, satanic system, that he will be guided, by Satan, influenced by Satan, himself, there will be, the three, counterfeit, Godhead, the three individuals, that will be false, counterfeit, liars, Satan, seeking to take, the place of God, the father, the antichrist, seeking to take, the place of God, the son, the false prophet, seeking to take, the place of God, the Holy Spirit, in Revelation, chapter 13, there we read, in verse 16 to 18, that he will seek, everyone to worship him, listen to what we read, in

Revelation 13, verses 16, 17, and 18, he causes all, this is the second beast, which is the, false prophet, he will cause all, both small and, great, rich and poor, free and bound, to receive the mark, in their right hand, or in their forehead, this is called, the mark of the beast, the mark that will, identify man, with the beast, who is the, the one who is, forcing his, false religion, the antichrist religion, verse 17, of Revelation 13, says, and that no man, might buy or sell, save, he that has the mark, on, or the name, of the beast, or the number, of his name, verse 18, of Revelation 13, said, here is wisdom, let

him, that has understanding, count, the number, of the beast, mispar hachaya, in Hebrew, for it is the number, of a man, and his number, is, six hundred, and sixty-six, shesh, shesh, shesh, six, six, six, and he will, seek to force, all men, to worship, the false messiah, beloved brothers, and sisters, listen, as the person, of the Holy Spirit, of God, guide us, to worship, the son, God the son, and God the father, in the power, of God, the Holy Spirit, there, in the tribulation period, the false godhead, will seek to force, their own, satanic religion, upon the world, and the false prophet, will force, during the tribulation period, everyone, to worship, the antichrist, the counterfeit

messiah, and if, only, if they are not able, if they are not willing, they will be killed, and only those, that will take the mark, of the beast, 666, will be the one, that will remain alive, during this time, and will be able, to buy and sell, because they, have already, gave over their life, to this wicked, man, the willful king, who is none else, but the antichrist, himself, so we have covered, verses 36, to verse 39, the rise, of the, willful king, who is the antichrist, in the future time, of the end, and now, in verses, 40 to 45, I just want to highlight, the events, that will occur, during the, rule, of the

willful king, specifically, at the second half, of the tribulation period, let me remind you, that according, to Daniel, chapter 9, this, person, who is, the one, that will rise, from among the nations, the one, the prince, of the people, that shall come, according to Daniel, chapter 9, this person, he will be, the one, that will make a covenant, with Israel, for one week, namely, seven years, now, in the middle, of the week, as we read, in Daniel 9, verse 27, he shall confirm, the covenant, with many, for one week, for seven years, and in the midst, of the week, he shall cause, the sacrifice, and the oblation, to cease, and the over, spreading, of abomination,

he shall make, a desolate, even until, the consummation, and that, determined, shall be poured, upon the desolate, in other words, in the middle, of the seven years, this counterfeit messiah, called here, the willful king, he will break, the covenant, that he made, with the Jewish people, and he will commit, the abomination, of desolation, that is, what is known, to be the seeking, of the worshiping, of himself, instead of the true, and living God, to take the place, of the messiah, beloved brothers, and sisters, and so we read, of the events, that will take place, during his rule, in the second half, of the tribulation, since he took, this wicked place, to claim to be God,

in the temple, in Jerusalem, in the middle, of the tribulation period, in verse 40, we read, of the time of the end, there will be war, and he, this willful king, will fight, against the other, ten kings, that will rule the world, during the beginning, of the tribulation period, which we have already studied, in Daniel 2, it was the ten toes, in the bottom, of the image, in Daniel 7, it was the ten horns, which represent, ten kings, and so now, in verse 40, at the time, of the end, this is in the middle, of the tribulation, he shall, shall the king, of the south, push him, and the king, of the north, shall come,

against him, like a whirlwind, is chariot, with horsemen, and with many ships, and he shall, enter into the, the countries, and shall overflow, and pass over, in other words, the king, of the south, is Egypt, the whole context, here in our chapter, of chapter 11, it always was, the north, and the south, the north, and the south, not the far north, but the north, and the south, of Israel, north of Israel, is Syria, south of Israel, is Egypt, so the king, of the south, this is Egypt, and the king, of the north, will come, against the antichrist, as a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships, but what happened, he will defeat

them, this antichrist, will defeat them, he shall enter, into the country, and shall overflow, and pass over, he will, with a military power, he will defeat them, in verse 41, we read, that the willful king, will also, take over, Israel, because, up to this time, the first, three and a half years, he allow our Jewish people, to offer sacrifices, in the temple, but it was, in the middle, of the seven years, that he, done away with it, and he said, no more, I am the Messiah, I am the Messiah, worship me, and that's why, he will take over, completely, Israel, it says in verse 41, he shall enter, into the glorious land, now with the

whole military, that will come, many countries, shall be overthrown, and these shall escape, out of his hand, only Edom, Moab, and Ammon, will escape, according to verse 41, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon, they will escape his hand, why?

question immediately is coming, why will, Edom, Moab, and Ammon, will be escaping, why he will, all others, as it says here, many countries, shall be overthrown, but, verse 41b, there will be, only three countries, Edom, Moab, and Ammon remain, that will not be, taken over by him, and he will, allow them to remain, for one reason or another, we do know, that they will be, allowed to remain, because of the purposes of God, for our Jewish people, to flee, into these mountains, the mountains of Edom, the mountains of Moab, and the mountains of Ammon, which are present day Jordan, all of them together, are present day Jordan, beloved brothers and sisters, you remember what we

read, in Matthew chapter 24, that when ye shall see, listen to this, it's so, so interesting, verse 15, when ye therefore, shall see the abomination, of desolation, Yeshua, the Messiah said, spoken by Daniel, the prophet, in other words, when you Jewish people, when you will see, what Daniel wrote, in Daniel 9, Daniel 10, 11, and so on, when you will see, what will happen, that in the middle, of the tribulation, that there will be, a person will commit, the abomination, of desolation, when you therefore, shall see the abomination, of desolation, spoken by Daniel, the prophet, stand in the holy place, whosoever read, let him understand, and now notice, he says in verse 16, of Matthew

chapter 24, then let them, which be in Judea, not anywhere else, Judea, Jewish people, Israel, let them flee, into the mountain, let him, which is in the house, to come not down, or take anything, out of his house, neither let, him, which is in the field, return back, to take his clothes, but war unto them, that with child, and to them, that give suck, in those days, pray that your flight, be not in winter, nor in Shabbat day, why the Shabbat day, is the Shabbat day, that was given to our people, Israel, who will keep the Shabbat, all along, with all the failure, with all the shortcoming, but yet, they will continue, to have the

Shabbat day, they continue to keep, the feast of the Lord, but during the tribulation, the Antichrist, will be committing, the abomination, of desolation, and then, Daniel wrote of it, notice it says, in verse 21, of Matthew chapter 24, for then shall be, great tribulation, such as was not, since the beginning, of the world, to this time, nor shall ever be, in other words, the Jewish people, God will preserve, his people, in the mountains, these mountains, are, the mountains of Edom, and Ammon, and Moab, which is present day, Jordan, beloved brothers, and sisters, this is, very, very important, to understand, and the mountains, that are mentioned here, in Matthew chapter 24, and the verses, that we

read, is the wilderness, that John, Yohanan, mentioned, in Revelation chapter 12, in verse 3, and there appear, another wonder, in heaven, and behold, a great red dragon, this is Satan, having seven heads, and ten horns, and seven crowns, upon his head, and with his tail, he drew a third part, of the stars, of heaven, and he did cast them, to the earth, and the dragon, stood before the woman, this is Israel, which was ready, to be delivered, for to devour, her child, as soon, as it was born, in other words, Satan constantly, was against, the Jewish people, throughout the ages, but then it says, notice what's happened, to the woman, Israel, who gave birth, to

the Mashiach, Yeshua, Jesus, our Messiah, the woman, in verse 6, fled into the wilderness, again, where is that wilderness, Edom, Moab, Amon, present day, Jordan, the woman, went to the wilderness, chapter 13, of Revelation, verse 6, where she has a place, prepared, of God, that they should, feed her, there, what, for a thousand, two hundred, and three scored, and sixty days, this is the second half, of the tribulation period, it is fascinating, how Daniel 11, connect with, Matthew 24, and Revelation, chapter 12, there is a link, between, that, and the plan, of God, to preserve, Israel for himself, and for a future day, when he will rule, over them, and through them, as a, priestly

nation, blessing, we flow to the world, here we see, the Lord promises, is given to us, in the book of Daniel, spoken by, Yeshua HaMashiach himself, and taught, by, the evangelists, by, the, early Jewish apostles, including, Yohanan, John, the apostle, notice beloved, brothers and sisters, we continue, in verses, 42 and 43, that willful king, will take over, Egypt, Libya, and Ethiopia, notice what we read, in verse 42 and 43, he shall stretch forth his hand, and also upon the countries, and the land of Egypt, shall not escape, he will take over, the king of the south, this is Egypt, and he shall have, power over the treasures, and gold, and silver, and over all the,

precious things of Egypt, and the Libyans, and the Ethiopians, he's taking over Africa, at this time, taking over Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia, then notice, in verse 44, beloved brothers and sisters, the king of the east, will be coming against him, and also the king, according to verse 44, also the king of the north, so what we learn, Egypt is in the south, the king of the east, notice I'm reading verse 44, and the tithing, come out of the east, and the east is of course, Iraq, it's not in China, it is Iraq, it is the Mesopotamia, the king of the east, will, news is coming, that he's coming against him, and also, out of the north,

shall trouble him, that is Syria, once again, again, everything is north of Israel, east of Israel, south of Israel, that news will trouble him, therefore he shall go forth, with great fury, to destroy, and to utterly, to make away many, so beloved brothers, and sisters, the king, the willful king, who is the Antichrist, he will ultimately, defeat, these, out of the ten, rulers, that will rule, the world, during, the tribulation period, the seven years, of Jacob's trouble, the ten toes, in the image, and the seven horns, and in the vision, that Daniel saw, representing, the final, revived Roman Empire, and the whole world, will be divided, into these ten, section, with ten kings, that will,

rule over the world, but there will be, this eleventh ones, and one that will, rise out of the ten, and he will seek, to destroy, and take the place, for himself, the ten, of course, kings, that to be distinguished, from Israel, Israel, will be the one, that is awaiting, the day, to be restored, and to be, ruling, and reigning, with the Messiah, in the Messianic kingdom, and so if you remember, we read in Daniel, chapter seven, and there we read, in verse 24, these words, and the ten horns, out of, this kingdom, are ten kings, this is the final, stage, in the revived, Roman Empire, that the whole world, will be divided, into ten, nations,

or ten kingdoms, and these are ten kings, but then notice, it says, in verse 24, and then, shall arise, another, shall arise, after them, and he shall be diverse, from the first, and he shall subdue, three kings, so, he will, subdue three, out of the, ten, and there will be, seven left, plus him, and he will rule, all the seven, and all the world, and inflicting, persecution, upon the Jewish people, whom the Lord, will preserve, and send them there, to the place, called Edom, Moab, and Ammon, according to verse 41, where the wilderness, the mountains, present day Jordan, in Petra Bozrah, where God, will preserve, the Jewish people there, until the final days, of the

second coming, of the Messiah, what a wonderful, day, that will be, when a Messiah, will come, in a future day, let me just read to you, just two more verses, and we will conclude, with these beloved brothers, and sisters, listen to what we read, Hosea chapter 2, and verse 14, therefore behold, I will allure her, and I will bring her, into the wilderness, and speak comfortably, unto her, God is speaking, about his people Israel, he will allure, the Jewish people, and he will bring them, unto the wilderness, this is where we read, about Edom, Moab, and Ammon, beloved brothers, and sisters, this is fascinating, fascinating, one more verse, I want to read, in the book

of Micah, in Micah chapter 2, there we also read, very important, beloved brothers, and sisters, in Micah, chapter 2, we read there, in verse 12, and I am reading, just this verse, verse 12, I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee, I will surely gather, the remnant of Israel, I will put them together, as the sheep of Bozrah, Bozrah, is the, is in their dislocation, Edom, Moab, and Ammon, the area, where the wilderness, and the mountains, present day, Jordan, as the flock, in the midst, of their fold, they shall make, great noise, by reason, of the multitude, of men, God, praise God, he will ultimately, restore his people, Israel, according, to his promise, and

he will bring them back, into the land, but he will protect them, during the second half, of the tribulation, when the Antichrist, will seek to destroy, the Jewish people, where Satan, will seek to do away, with the people of Israel, knowing that he had, but short time, but ultimately, God graciously, will preserve them, for the three and a half years, of the second half, of the tribulation period, and then finally, verse 45, of Daniel, chapter 11, and he shall plant, the tabernacles, of his palace, between the seas, in the glorious, holy mountain, and he shall come, to his end, and none, shall help him, beloved brothers, and sisters, what we find out, that this, willful

king, the Antichrist, the one that is called, the seed of Satan, the king of Babylon, the idol shepherd, the little horn, the king of fierce, countenance, the prince that shall come, the desolator, the willful king, the man of sin, the son of perdition, the lawless one, the beast, the Antichrist, he will be the one, that what he will do, he will plant, his own place, his own tabernacle there, where he will put it, between the seas, between the seas, of the Mediterranean, of the Dead Sea, that is there, by the city of Jerusalem, in the glorious, holy mountain, he will situate himself, there in Mount Moriah, claiming to be God, for these, second half of

the tribulation, until, he will come to an end, and he will come to an end, beloved brothers, and sisters, that he will ultimately, die, when the Messiah, Yeshua himself, will come, and when the Lord Jesus, the Messiah will come, he is the one, of whom we read, in Daniel chapter 7, verse 26, and I will read that, and we will close, the session, Daniel 7, and verse 26, we read, but the judgment, shall sit, and they, shall take, away his dominion, to consume, and to destroy it, unto the end, and the kingdom, and dominion, and the greatness, of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, shall be given, to the people, of the saints, of the

most high, whose kingdom, is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions, shall serve, and obey him, this is the Messiah, who will come, at his second coming, how wonderful, it will be, when he will, ultimately, destroy, this wicked man, the willful king, he shall come, to his end, and none, shall help him, verse 45, praise God, our Lord Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah, will come, and he will restore, all things, to himself, he will rule, as king of kings, and Lord of lords, and the false Messiah, the antichrist, the willful king, will come, to his end, praise God, for the future, that is awaiting, the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and all those, that belong, to him, beloved

brothers, and sisters, may God, touch our hearts, and today, bring us, to the Lord Jesus, to the Lord Yeshua, the Messiah, to accept him, as our Lord, and as our Savior, will God bless you, until the next chapter, the next message, God bless you, beloved brothers, and sisters, and we're saying to you, Shalom, Shalom.
