No , Daniel 11:45 is speaking about The monster Antichous Epiphanes
again read my post about,
I understand you post sir, I have seen this for years, it does not originate with you. I ca prove 100 percent that Antiochus (AE4) is not nor can be the person mentioned in vs. 45. I have only had to do this numerous times. I do not get agitated because people do not understand, but people have to listen and accept when they are in error. Heck I wrote a blog 8-9 years ago saying Rome was THAT CITY in Rev. 17:18 and the holy spirit was like, "Ron, you are wrong, read it again, the vision was only 4 verses" That city is Babylon, God was using it as one of 3 descriptors to tell who who the Harlot is (False Religion). So, I had to rewrite my blog. Its OK being wrong !! That means we learned s truth. You can read what you want them skip to the bottom where I show why verses 36-45 can not be Antiochus.
I will start with verse 20, one verse before Antiochus comes to power.
20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
Antiochus III's son Seleucus IV became king and had to raise taxes because Rome was forcing him to have to pay for all his fathers wars, he was soon poisoned to death it seems.
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.
Antiochus IV then became king, he is called a vile person. He became king via a series of maneuvers which included flattering the king of Pergamum to gain his allegiance and by the death of the young heir to the throne.
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.
The High Priest, Onias III
(prince of the covenant) was replaced via a conspiracy involving the high priests brother Jason and Antiochus Epiphanes but his brother was also double crossed when another priest bribed Antiochus Epiphanes with even more money, and who was even more pro Hellenization, Jason's real name was Yeshua, he favored the Hellenization of Jerusalem/Israel, where as his brother Onias III was a pious man of God who was put to death.
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.
Antiochus Epiphanes so wanted to conquer Egypt. He took a "small army" down to Egypt feigning to be the protector of Ptolemy VI who was his nephew. He was of course trying to deceive them whereas he could eventually conquer them via craftiness.
SKIP to verse 28 (I have every verse)
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.
Antiochus Epiphanes returned north it seems because of a rumor that he had died. That rumor seemingly caused a war to breakout in Jerusalem. Antiochus Epiphanes plundered the temple of God, killed many people, then journeyed north to Antioch.
(his homeland)
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. 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.
Antiochus Epiphanes soon returned to Egypt with the intention of conquering Alexandria. The Egyptians however sent a message to Rome asking for help. Three Roman senators were sent by ship to inform Antiochus Epiphanes that he was not to invade Egypt and to demand that he retreat immediately. This of course made him angry and Antiochus seems to have taken it out on the Jewish believers. He killed many of them but allowed the Hellenistic Jews to live as long as they forsook the Holy Covenant !! He was indeed a vile man, seemingly a forerunner to the coming Anti-Christ/Beast in many of his mannerisms. Jason also seems to be a forerunner of the False Prophet.
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. 32 And 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.
Antiichus Epiphanes defiled the temple of God, stopped the daily sacrifices and even built a pagan alter unto Zeus and sacrificed pigs on it. This was an Abomination unto God, but its not the Abomination that Jesus and Daniel is speaking about of course. This desecrated the temple while it was there, but as we can see, Antiochus Epiphanes served Zeus, thus he can not be the Willful King of verse 36 as many think, because he served no gods. This of course created a schism so to speak amongst the Jewish peoples, which is what Antiochus was good at, divide and conquer tactics. In the end many Jews forsook their God and many refused to do so, but alas, they paid the price with their lives. This of course is a likeness unto the coming end time events in many ways.
33 And 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. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And 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 29 says it will NOT BE AS THE FORMER (when he conquered Egypt) NOR AS THE LATER, when the A.C. will con conquer Egypt. QUESTION !! How can verses 40-43 be Antiochus when the Roman Senate forbade him from conquering Egypt again? It is not him, it can not be him. That is what Daniel meant by when he came back to Egypt it would nit be as THE FORMER, when he ruled them, nor as THE LATER when the Anti-Christ conquers Egypt. Notice also, in verses 40-43 Moab, Edom and Ammon can not be conquered, that just so happens to be in the Central and Southern Joran Mountains, (Petra/Bozrah area) where the Jews flee unto.
Why do you think we get VERY Greek king? Its pointing to the A.C. he has to be born in Greece,. Dan. 8:9 MANDATES this, he conquers TOWARDS the East (Seleucus/Turkey) TOWARDS the South (Ptolemy/Egypt) and TOWARDS Israel. Its a simple Four General war and only a leader from Cassander/Greece can Conquer from the Northwest Corridor. And Greece just so happens to be in the E.U. which fulfills Dan. 7:7-8.
If you haven't read the article, then what is your 'rebuttal' based on? The post is just a short summary of the subject matter covered in the article.
Post it here, but I already understand things, I have seen them before. I can see where people are going before they get there.
