FINAL WARNING: The Curtain Falls
According to Daniel, “his power shall be mighty,” (8:24) and “he shall
cause craft to prosper in his hand,” (8:25). The success he will achieve
in Europe will no doubt give him international recognition. In Daniel
11:7, it says: “...and power was given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations.” This seems to imply a larger scope of authority.
Is it possible that he will become the Secretary-General of a UN that
has been transformed into a world government (due to the efforts of
the New World Order)? How else would he be in a position to exercise
authority over such a large group of people?
The Middle East has been a powder keg for many years because the
Arab nations (Esau’s descendants) feel they had their birthright taken
away by Israel (Jacob’s descendants). A covenant is made with “many
for a week,” or seven years. Because the second part of that verse
talks about causing the sacrifices to stop, which is an obvious
reference to the reinstitution of Temple sacrifice is Jerusalem, it has
been assumed that the covenant was just made with Israel. How can
just Israel be referred to as “many?” The terminology dictates that the
covenant would have to be made with “many” nations, and it would
have to be nations somewhat associated with Israel. This would seem
to be a covenant between the Antichrist (leader of the world
government), Israel and the Arab nations, in order to seek a peaceful
solution to the Middle East crisis. Somehow he will achieve a
diplomatic solution that will give the Arabs what they want, and give
the Jews the security they want, which will enable them to build or
erect a Temple, on its original foundation, so that Temple sacrifice can
be resumed. Even though there were 300 specific predictions
concerning Jesus, the Jewish people didn’t accept Him because they
were expecting a great conqueror to deliver them from the Romans.
However, it won’t take long for this western European leader to be
heralded as the Messiah they have been waiting for.
The aim of a world government will be to seek complete disarmament
in order to maintain peace. Any country that does not willingly join in
will be forced to comply, as it says that “he shall destroy
wonderfully...”
Meanwhile, the individual who has emerged as the preeminent
religious leader in the world will succeed in bringing together the
major religions to form a new coalition of Christianity that will be
