Daniel 7:15-27

“I, Daniel, was GRIEVED in My Spirit within My Body, and The Visions of My Head TROUBLED me.  I (Daniel) came near to One of Those who stood by, and asked him The Truth of All This.  So he told me (Daniel) and MADE KNOWN to me (Daniel) The Interpretation of These Things: ‘Those Great Beasts, which are Four, are Four Kings which ARISE out of The Earth.  But The Saints (Believers) of The Most High (God Almighty) shall RECEIVE The Kingdom (The Kingdom of God Almighty), and POSSESS The Kingdom (The Kingdom of God Almighty) Forever, even Forever and ever.’  “Then I (Daniel) wished to KNOW The Truth about The Fourth Beast, which was DIFFERENT from All The Others, Exceedingly Dreadful, with Its (The Fourth Beast’s) Teeth of iron and Its (The Fourth Beast’s) Nails of bronze, which DEVOURED, BROKE in pieces, and TRAMPLED The Residue with Its (The Fourth Beast’s) Feet; and The Ten Horns that were on Its (The Fourth Beast’s) Head, and The Other Horn which Came Up, before which Three FELL, Namely, That Horn which had Eyes and a Mouth which SPOKE Pompous Words, whose APPEARANCE was Greater than His (The Other Horn’s) Fellows.  “I (Daniel) was WATCHING; and The Same Horn was MAKING War AGAINST The Saints (Believers), and Prevailing AGAINST Them (Believers), until The Ancient of Days CAME, and a JUDGMENT was MADE in Favor of The Saints (Believers) of The Most High (God Almighty), and The Time CAME for The Saints (Believers) to POSSESS The Kingdom (The Kingdom of God Almighty).

“Thus he said: ‘The Fourth Beast shall be a Fourth Kingdom on Earth, which shall be DIFFERENT from All Other Kingdoms, and shall DEVOUR The Whole Earth, TRAMPLE it (The Earth) and BREAK it (The Earth) in pieces.  The Ten Horns are Ten Kings who shall ARISE from This Kingdom (The Fourth Kingdom).  And Another (King) shall RISE after Them (The Ten Kings); He shall be DIFFERENT from The First Ones (The Ten Kings), and shall SUBDUE Three Kings.  He shall SPEAK Pompous Words AGAINST The Most High (God Almighty), shall PERSECUTE The Saints (Believers) of The Most High (God Almighty), and shall INTEND to CHANGE Times and Law.  Then The Saints (Believers) shall be GIVEN into His Hand for a Time and Times, and Half a Time.  ‘But The Court shall be SEATED, and They (The Court) shall TAKE AWAY His Dominion, to CONSUME and DESTROY it (His Dominion) Forever.  Then The Kingdom and Dominion, and The Greatness of The Kingdoms under The Whole Heaven, shall be GIVEN to The People (Believers), The Saints (Believers) of The Most High (God Almighty).  His (God Almighty’s) Kingdom is an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and All Dominions shall SERVE and OBEY Him (God Almighty).’

Daniel 8:15-26

Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had SEEN The Vision and was SEEKING The Meaning, that suddenly there stood before me (Daniel) One having The Appearance of a Man.  And I (Daniel) HEARD a Man’s Voice between The Banks of The Ulai, who CALLED, and said, “Gabriel, make this man (Daniel) UNDERSTAND The Vision.”  So He (Gabriel) came near where I (Daniel) stood, and when He (Gabriel) came I (Daniel) was afraid and fell on My (Daniel’s) Face; but He (Gabriel) said to me (Daniel), “Understand, son of man (Daniel), that The Vision REFERS to The Time of The End.”  Now, as He (Gabriel) was SPEAKING with me (Daniel), I (Daniel) was in a DEEP SLEEP with My (Daniel’s) Face to the ground; but He (Gabriel) TOUCHED me (Daniel), and stood me (Daniel) upright.  And He (Gabriel) said, “Look, I am MAKING KNOWN to YOU (Daniel) what shall HAPPEN in The Latter Time of The Indignation; for at The APPOINTED TIME The End shall be.  The Ram which YOU (Daniel) saw, having The Two Horns, They (The Two Horns) are The Kings of Media and Persia.  And The Male Goat is The Kingdom of Greece.  The Large Horn that is between Its (The Large Horn’s) Eyes is The First King.  As for The BROKEN Horn and The Four (Horns) that STOOD UP in Its (The Broken Horn’s) Place, Four Kingdoms shall ARISE out of That Nation, but NOT with Its (That Nation’s) Power.  “And in The Latter Time of Their Kingdom, when The Transgressors (The Four Kingdoms) have REACHED Their (The Four Kingdoms) Fullness, a King shall ARISE, Having FIERCE FEATURES, who UNDERSTANDS Sinister Schemes.  His (The King with Fierce Features) Power shall be Mighty, but NOT by His (The King with Fierce Features) Own Power; He (The King with Fierce Features) shall DESTROY Fearfully, and shall PROSPER and THRIVE; He (The King with Fierce Features) shall DESTROY The Mighty, and also The Holy People.  “Through His (The King with Fierce Features) Cunning He (The King with Fierce Features) shall Cause DECEIT to Prosper under His (The King with Fierce Features) Rule; and He (The King with Fierce Features) shall EXALT Himself in His (The King with Fierce Features) Heart.  He (The King with Fierce Features) shall DESTROY many in their prosperity.  He (The King with Fierce Features) shall even Rise AGAINST The Prince (Jesus Christ) of princes; but He (The King with Fierce Features) shall be BROKEN WITHOUT HUMAN MEANS.  “And The Vision of the evenings and mornings which was TOLD is TRUE; therefore SEAL UP The Vision, for it (The Vision) REFERS to Many Days in The Future.”

Daniel 9:20-27

Now while I (Daniel) was Speaking, Praying, and Confessing My Sin and The Sin of My People, Israel, and Presenting My Supplication before The LORD, My God (God Almighty) for The Holy Mountain of My God (God Almighty), yes, while I (Daniel) was Speaking in Prayer, The Man Gabriel, whom I (Daniel) had SEEN in The Vision at The Beginning, Being CAUSED to Fly Swiftly, reached me (Daniel) about The Time of The Evening Offering.  And He (Gabriel) INFORMED me (Daniel), and talked with me (Daniel), and said, “O Daniel, I (Gabriel) have NOW Come Forth to GIVE YOU (Daniel) SKILL To UNDERSTAND.  At The Beginning of Your Supplications, The COMMAND Went Out, and I (Gabriel) have COME To TELL YOU (Daniel), for YOU (Daniel) are Greatly Beloved; therefore consider the matter, and UNDERSTAND The Vision: “SEVENTY WEEKS are Determined for Your People and for Your Holy City, to FINISH The Transgression, to make an END of sins, to make Reconciliation for Iniquity, to BRING IN Everlasting Righteousness, to SEAL UP Vision and Prophecy, and to Anoint The Most Holy.  “KNOW Therefore and UNDERSTAND, that from The Going Forth of The Command to RESTORE and BUILD Jerusalem, Until Messiah (Jesus Christ) The Prince, there shall be SEVEN WEEKS AND SIXTY-TWO WEEKS; The Street shall be BUILT AGAIN, and The Wall, even in Troublesome Times.  “And AFTER The Sixty-Two Weeks Messiah (Jesus Christ) shall be CUT OFF, but NOT for Himself (Jesus Christ); and the people of the prince, who is to come, shall DESTROY The City and The Sanctuary.  THE END of it shall be with a Flood, and till THE END of The War DESOLATIONS Are Determined.  Then He (The Prince who is to come) shall CONFIRM a Covenant with Many for ONE WEEK; BUT in The Middle of The Week (One Week) He (The Prince who is to come) shall Bring An End to Sacrifice and Offering.  And on The Wing of Abominations shall be One (The Prince who is to come) Who MAKES DESOLATE, even until The Consummation, which is DETERMINED, is POURED OUT On The Desolate.”

Daniel 11:36-39

“Then The King shall do according to His (The King) Own Will: He (The King) shall EXALT and MAGNIFY Himself (The King) ABOVE every god, shall Speak Blasphemies AGAINST The God (God Almighty) of gods, and shall Prosper till THE WRATH has been ACCOMPLISHED; for what has Been Determined shall be DONE.  He shall REGARD neither The God (God Almighty) of his (The King’s) fathers NOR the desire of women, NOR regard any god; for He (The King) shall EXALT Himself (The King) ABOVE them all.  But in their place, He (The King) shall HONOR a god of fortresses; and a god which his (The King’s) fathers did NOT Know, He (The King) shall HONOR with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things.  Thus He (The King) shall ACT against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which He (The King) shall ACKNOWLEDGE, and ADVANCE its glory; and He (The King) shall cause them to RULE over many, and DIVIDE The Land for gain.

Daniel 11:40-45

“At The Time of The End, The King of The South shall ATTACK Him (The King); and The King of The North shall COME AGAINST Him (The King) like a Whirlwind, with Chariots, Horsemen, and with Many Ships; and He (The King) shall enter the Countries, OVERWHELM them (the Countries), and pass through.  He (The King) shall also ENTER The Glorious Land, and Many Countries shall be OVERTHROWN; but These (Countries) shall ESCAPE from His (The King’s) Hand: Edom, Moab, and The Prominent People of Ammon.  He (The King) shall STRETCH OUT His (The King’s) Hand AGAINST The Countries, and The Land of Egypt shall NOT ESCAPE.  He (The King) shall have POWER over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also The Libyans and Ethiopians shall FOLLOW at His (The King’s) Heels.  But NEWS from The East and The North shall TROUBLE Him (The King); therefore He (The King) shall go out with GREAT FURY to Destroy and Annihilate Many.  And He (The King) shall PLANT The Tents of His (The King’s) Palace BETWEEN The Seas and The Glorious Holy Mountain; YET He (The King) shall COME To His (The King’s) END, and NO ONE Will HELP Him (The King).

Daniel 12:1-13

“At THAT TIME, Michael Shall STAND UP, The Great Prince (Michael) who STANDS WATCH, Over The Sons of Your People; and there shall be a TIME OF TROUBLE, such as NEVER was, since there was a Nation, even to THAT TIME.  And at THAT TIME, Your People shall be DELIVERED, EVERY ONE, who is FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK.  And Many of Those, Who Sleep in The Dust of The Earth, Shall AWAKE, Some to Everlasting Life, Some to Shame and Everlasting Contempt.  Those who are Wise, shall SHINE like The Brightness of The Firmament, and Those who TURN Many to Righteousness, like The Stars, Forever and ever.”

“But YOU, Daniel, SHUT UP The Words, and Seal The Book, until The Time of The End; many shall run to and fro, and KNOWLEDGE Shall Increase.”

Then I, Daniel, LOOKED; and there STOOD Two Others, One on this riverbank and The Other on that riverbank.  And One said to The Man Clothed in Linen, who was ABOVE THE WATERS of The River, “How long shall The Fulfillment of These Wonders be?”  Then I (Daniel) HEARD The Man Clothed in Linen, who was ABOVE THE WATERS of The River, when He (The Man Clothed in Linen) HELD UP His (The Man Clothed in Linen’s) Right Hand and His (The Man Clothed in Linen’s) Left Hand to Heaven, and SWORE by Him (God Almighty) who Lives Forever, that it shall be for a Time, Times, and Half a Time; and when The Power of The Holy People has been COMPLETELY SHATTERED, All These Things shall be FINISHED.

Although I (Daniel) HEARD, I (Daniel) did NOT Understand.  Then I (Daniel) said, “My Lord, what shall be The End of These Things?”  And He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for The Words are closed up and sealed, till The Time of The End.  Many shall be PURIFIED, MADE WHITE, and REFINED, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and NONE of the wicked shall understand, but The Wise shall UNDERSTAND.  “And from The Time that The Daily Sacrifice is TAKEN AWAY, and The Abomination of Desolation is SET UP, there shall be One Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety (1,290) Days.  BLESSED is He (Believers) who WAITS, and COMES to the One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Five (1,335) Days.  “But YOU (Daniel), Go Your Way till THE END; for YOU (Daniel) shall REST, and will ARISE to Your (Daniel’s) Inheritance At THE END OF THE DAYS.”

Fellow Believers, I have obviously NOT included All of The Book of Daniel, but These Scriptures DESCRIBE what is commonly referred to as “The Antichrist.”  YOU (Believers) must remember, that Daniel was discussing Countries and Nations, which were ACTIVE during His (Daniel’s) Lifetime.  I pray God Almighty will give each of YOU (Believers), the Wisdom to Understand what He (God Almighty) wants YOU (Believers) to KNOW.  Amen.
