(3) ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES: (See related discussion on Antiochus Epiphanes - Da 8:9-note, Da 8:17-note, Da 8:19-note; see also Daniel notes and additional discussion) The liberal commentator Montgomery (who to my utter amazement does not even interpret Da 9:25, 26 as a prophecy of Christ's first coming - See list of other Non-Christological Interpreters) identifies the "He" as Antiochus Epiphanes. John records that beginning at the midpoint and concurrent with the Antichrist breaking his covenant with Israel, instead of their friend, he becomes their arch enemy...

Scripture does not indicate the length of the gap, though we do know it will last until the Antichrist comes to confirm a covenant with Israel (Da 9:27). In fact, such is the force of the literal interpretation that those who deny the possibility of accurate prophecy are compelled to move the date of the writing of Daniel until after the events which they believe fulfilled it.

It is interesting that both Christ and Antichrist are referred to as "prince" (synonymous with "king"), for the prefix "anti-" means the regal imposter is not only opposed to or against Christ, but "instead of" or a substitute for the real Christ.

Jeremiah 7:30 "For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight," declares the LORD, "they have set their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it (see especially parallel passages in Ezekiel). 2) The text specifies that Messiah will be cut off AFTER the 69 weeks. That is, this great blasphemous Roman leader will guarantee protection and freedom of religious worship to them for seven years, in return for which they will promise allegiance to him as their sovereign.

Will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?". Some OT uses of gabar convey the sense of showing oneself as arrogant, overbearing, displaying attitudes and actions which reflect pride (cf the Antichrist's "boastful words" {although not the word gabar} in Da 7:11-note , Da 7:20-note, see also Rev 13:5-note). Shamem/samem is used repeatedly in this last section of Daniel in which God presents His "outline" for the nation of Israel - See Da 8:13, 27; Da 9:18, 26, Da 9:27; Da 11:31; Da 12:11, How does Antichrist make desolate? In summary, even applying the elementary grammatical rule of examination of the context for the nearest antecedent noun ("prince" in Da 9:26), there is little question that the pronoun He in Da 9:27 is the future Antichrist, the evil end times anti-Semitic leader who is known by many names in Scripture (see table).

Note that Revelation 11 and 12 are vitally important chapters regarding the timing of events in Daniel's Seventieth Week and should be carefully studied by all believers so that we might be able to give unbelievers an account of the hope that we possess (1Pe 3:15-note). Complete destruction or annihilation was most often attributed to God. removed the mediums and the spiritists and the teraphim and the idols and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.

And these will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed-- for our testimony to you was believed." (The Ryrie Study Bible: New American Standard Translation: 1995. ", Semantic Domains - 1. (Zodhiates), If one considers the Antichrist as the ultimate Gentile anti-Semitic ruler, then the end of his reign represents the consummation of the "times of the Gentiles" (Lk 21:24).

(Daniel - H A Ironside), In deciding between the Messiah or the “prince to come” as the antecedent, Barnes contends “it is not reasonable to suppose that the latter is referred to, because it is said (Da 9:26) that the effect and the purpose of his coming would be to ‘destroy the city and the sanctuary.’ In other words Barnes is saying the prince is coming to make peace. These events that will transpire during the last 3.5 years of Daniel's Seventieth Week will come to pass because this is God's will and plan for Israel at the end of this present age. (A Study of Daniel 9:24-27 Part IV), EVEN UNTIL A COMPLETE DESTRUCTION, ONE THAT IS DECREED IS POURED OUT ON THE ONE WHO MAKES DESOLATE, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator (ESV), until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys. (See note Revelation 12:6)... John goes on to explain why Israel ("the woman") fled into the wilderness writing... And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.

Upon his return to England, Chamberlain triumphantly waved a piece of paper containing a worthless pledge of peace from Hitler which he claimed guaranteed “peace with honor … peace for our time.” When Winston Churchill (one of the few never taken in by Hitler) rose in the House of Commons to declare that England had suffered a total, unmitigated defeat he was shouted down by angry members of Parliament.

While the unbelieving world might think this rider is the Christ, the evidence suggest just the opposite; i.e., this rider is most likely the Antichrist, the "he" of Daniel 9:27, the Beast of Revelation, who we know arrives on the world scene at the beginning of Daniel's Seventieth Week to make a covenant with Israel (cf Jesus' words in John 5:43). Montgomery feels that this prophecy was fulfilled in the second century before Christ noting how apostate Jews cooperated with Antiochus (see 1Mac 1:11, 12, 13, 14, 15). 4.

This person parallels the description of the "little horn" in Daniel 7:25, the individual described in Daniel 11:36ff, the beast in Revelation 11 and 13, the man of lawlessness in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4+, and the description by Jesus in Matthew 24:15+.

In Da 9:26 it is translated determined speaking of the fate of Jerusalem until the end. (1Th 5:3-note). And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. Isaiah 9:6--"Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder. " The take home message is if you are dealing with idols in your life and/or are entrapped by idolatrous practices, know first of all that this "stinks" in the nostrils of a Holy God.

Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And the abomination of desolation will be on a wing of the temple. (Ex 17:11). “Wing” is used in a similar way by Matthew (Mt 4:5) and Luke (Lk 4:9) in their accounts of the temptation. The Old Testament term for this last 3.5 years is the time of Jacob's distress (Jer 30:7+ - see other synonyms).
