Revelation 4:1-2 “After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in
heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said,
“Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I
was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone
sitting on it.”

Chuck Missler, Learn the Bible in 24 Hours:
“The Bible is the only book that hangs its entire credibility on its ability to
write history in advance, without error.”
Daniel 11:1-8 And in the first year of Darius the Mede, I took my stand to support and
protect him.) 2 “Now then, I tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia,
and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. When he has
gained power by his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of
Greece. 3 Then
a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great power and do as he pleases.
4 After he has
arisen, his empire will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of
heaven. It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the power he
exercised, because his empire will be uprooted and given to others. 5 “The king of the South
will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he
and will rule his own kingdom with great power. 6 After some years, they
will become allies. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king
of the North to make an alliance, but she will not retain her power, and he and
his power will not last. In those days she will be betrayed, together with her
royal escort and her father and the one who supported her. 7 “One from her family line
will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces of the king of the
North and enter his fortress; he will fight against them and be victorious. 8
He will also seize
their gods, their metal images and their valuable articles of silver and gold
and carry them off to Egypt. For some years he will leave the king of the North
alone.
Daniel 11:21-24 “He will be succeeded by a contemptible person who has not been given the
honor of royalty. He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and
he will seize it through intrigue. 22 Then an overwhelming army will be swept away before
him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed. 23 After coming to an
agreement with him, he will act deceitfully, and with only a few people he will
rise to power. 24 When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will
achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute
plunder, loot and wealth among his followers. He will plot the overthrow of
fortresses—but only for a time.
Acts 5:4 “Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t
the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have
not lied just to human beings but to God.””
Daniel 11:25-27 “With a large army he will stir up his strength and courage against the
king of the South. The king of the South will wage war with a large and very
powerful army, but he will not be able to stand because of the plots devised
against him. 26 Those who eat from the king’s provisions will try to destroy him; his
army will be swept away, and many will fall in battle. 27 The two kings, with their
hearts bent on evil, will sit at the same table and lie to each other, but to
no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time.
Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the LORD hates— including … a lying tongue, …
18 a heart that
plots evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies, … a person who sows discord in a
family.
Daniel 11:28-32 The king of the North will return to his own country with great wealth,
but his heart will be set against the holy covenant. He will take action
against it and then return to his own country. 29 “At the appointed time he
will invade the South again, but this time the outcome will be different from
what it was before. 30 Ships of the western coastlands will oppose him, and he will lose heart.
Then he will turn back and vent his fury against the holy covenant. He will
return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 “His armed forces will
rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice.
Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation. 32 With flattery he will
corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God
will firmly resist him.

We must stand for Christ in the hard times
Daniel 11:33-35 “Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall
by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered. 34 When they fall, they will
receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them. 35 Some of the wise will
stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time
of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
Matthew 24:15 (NIV84) So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the
abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let
the reader understand
Daniel 11:36 “The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above
every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be
successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined
must take place.
·
In the craziness of this world rest in God. He’s in Control.
Daniel 11:37 He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one
desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them
all.
·
Seek Christ not the antichrist
Daniel 11:38-40 Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his
ancestors he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly
gifts. 39 He
will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will
greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many
people and will distribute the land at a price. 40 “At the time of the end
the king of the South will engage him in battle,
Daniel 11:42-45 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape.
43 He will gain
control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt, with
the Libyans and Cushites in submission. 44 But reports from the east and the north will
alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many.
45 He will pitch his
royal tents between the seas at the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come
to his end, and no one will help him.

There is no hope for the Antichrist or for any
of his followers.
