Daniel 11:40a
The progression repeated and enlarged
Ruling Kingdoms | Daniel 2 | Daniel 7 | Daniel 8 | Daniel 11 |
1.Babylon 606/604 BC | Head- Gold | Lion | ||
2.Medo Persia 538 BC | Chest arm -Silver | Bear 1 side higher | Ram with 2 horns | |
3.Greece 331 BC | Belly & Thighs of Brass | Leopard | Goat with 1 noteable horn, that being broken 4 horns come up | |
4.Pagan Rome 16 8 BC | Legs of iron | Terrible Beast with 10 horns | Out of one of them came Rome | |
Little Horn power | Iron and clay (Isaiah 64:8,Jer 18:6) corrupt Religion & Rome mixed) Dan 2;33,41 | Little horn comes up removes 3 horns | Then the little horn, which waxed exceeding great comes up |
Daniel 11 further repeats and gives so much detail on Daniel 2,7,8 that God dissolves all doubt in the mind of who these ruling kingdoms are and what shall come to pass in the time of the end.
In Daniel 11:2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
This is the conflict between Ram with two horns( Medio Persia) and the He goat with one notable horn, Alexander in Daniel 8 repeated.
Who won that battle?
The bible in Daniel 2,7 and 8 tells us Greece, but lets look in Daniel 11 verse 3 it says:
“And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.” this is none other than Alexander the Great.
What happened to Alexander and his kingdom?
Daniel 11:4
“And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.”
Where are the four winds of heaven ?
Jeremiah 49:36
And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
1 Chronicles 9:24
In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
Alexander’s kingdom divided East West North and South and weakened,
Historical fact : The kingdom was left to Alexander’s Generals, 36 of them. As years progressed the generals made sure all the kinfolk of Alexander were killed. They fought till there was only 4 left the bible here introduce specifically Alexander's empire which was all of former Babylon all of the great persian empire as divided into sections called the four winds ,East West North & South.
These four fought till there were two left; Ptolemy in the south ,he controlled the geographical area of Egypt And Seleucus he controlled Syria which was the center of all of Babylon which was North. Grecian kingdom as a whole crumbles at Alexander's death and the warring factions controlled swaths of territory as far as the Asian provinces in the East to Gaul (France) in the West Babyloniaprovinces in the North and Egypt and syria in the south
Last week we saw in Daniel 8:9
“And out of one of them came forth a little horn,
Who is “them” ? is it Greece ?
Daniel 11:4 sasy for his kingdom(Greece) shall be plucked up”
Daniel 11:4
“And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.”
Key
It is from this verse onward whoever controls the geographical area that these two kings Seleucus in the North including all of Babylon and Ptolemy in the south consisting of Egypt is considered the king of the North and the king of the South respectively. The North and South is reference from the homeland of the Prophet which is Palestine Canaan
Daniel 11 details that runs through the history of the King of the North and south
Daniel 11:5And the king of the south(ptolemy) shall be strong, and one of his (Alexander’s)princes; and he (north) shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion. 6And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south(Bernice) shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement(marriage): but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times. 7But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
South king Ptolemy Philadelphus, 2nd king in Egypt gives his daughter Bernice as a dowry to northern king AntiocusTheos, third king of Syria as an agreement for peace .Antiocus Theos puts away his wife Laodice and her two sons. Antiochus after a while in a fit of love brought back his wife Laodice and puts away Bernice( the south kings daughter). Laodice not trusting her husband fickle mind, had Antiochus poisoned and Bernice, her son and helpers killed . But out of the branch of her roots ( Bernice’s brother) who then mounts the throne in Egypt after his fathers death amasses a large army and avenges the brutal killing of his sister Bernice and the South at this juncture prevails.
These power goes back and forth till imperial Rome is introduced ruling in the North
Remember the little horn power
- Came out of Rome uprooting 3 horns.
- Rome took over Alexander’s kingdom and out of one of the areas where the 4 generals rule came up the little horn power.
- Was a mixture of kingly rule and Religion ,Iron and clay.
- Speaks great words( blaspheme) against the Most High.claiming to be God.
- Persecute the saints for time, times and half of time .1260yrs.
- Persecute the woman in Rev12 and trample truth to the ground.
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.
When is the time of the end.’
When is the “Time of the end”, where else can we find this phrase?
Dan 11: Verse 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.
So connected to the time of the end is What event? Persecution by Death,trials,genocide
For context verse 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.
Where again can we see a people Persecuted ?
Daniel 12:5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Who were the holy people? Saints of the most High
Daniel 7:25 And he (little horn) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
How long were they persecuted for because remember its till the time of the end ?
Above verse says: ” time and times and the dividing of time” 1260 yrs.
When did the Little horn, the persecuting power in Daniel 7:25 began his reign ?
Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
History tells us the little horn power the Papacy that persecuted the saints and cast the truth to the ground for 1260 yrs began his reign 538 AD His reign ends 1260yrs after 1260 years leads us to 1798.. So the time of the end is began in 1798
In 1798 who is the king of the South?
South is Egypt was it literal Egypt?
Remember the principle
1 Corinthians 15:46 “Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.”
Who had the characteristics of Egypt?
Exodus 5:2 Atheistic
“And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.”
Which nation knew not God . It was France by decree that burn bibles declare it self Atheist and claim its god reason in the period of the french revolution.
A prophecy of this nation Revelation 11:3-8,11
What does push means? War against
Daniel 8:4 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
1 Kings 22:11
“And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.”
Who was the king of the North in 1798 ?
Remember the king of the North is the one that rules the geographical north that would be Babylon opposite to Egypt but was Babylon in power in 1798?
Jeremiah 25:9. Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land,
utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual
desolations.
The northern kingdom Babylon move from the hands of Nebuchadnessar to the Medio persia to Greece to the four generals then then to the Roman Caesars then to the little horn we know as the papacy the Papacy existed in 1798 and the history proves true:-
Pope Pius VI was arrested by French General Berthier in 1798 and political power was taken when the pope was sent into exile where he died.
So the king of the South Athiestic France war a gainst the King of the north the little Horn power the Papacy taking his power away in 1798 where he died in exile shortly there after.
This is Daniel
