STUDIES IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL

October 26, 2022

Key: Dan.4:17, 25; Ps. 22:28

Conclusion of the Vision (chs. 10–12.), and Epilogue to the Book. Dan. 12:1- 13.

“the time when Antichrist is to be destroyed at Christ’s coming. shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people—the guardian angel of Israel (“thy people,” ch. 10:13). The transactions on earth affecting God’s people have their correspondences in heaven, in the conflict between good and bad angels; so, at the last great contest on earth which shall decide the ascendancy of Christianity (Rev. 12:7–10). An archangel, not the Lord Jesus; for he is distinguished from “the Lord” in Jude 9.” Fausset A. R. At that me: 4grat events take place.

  1. At that time: The Antichrist plants the tabernacles of his palace in the temple of Israel – tabernacles of … palace. “His capital will be between the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean Sea in the glorious holy mountain. Mount Moriah Dan. 11:45, 2Thess. 2:4, Rev. 13” Dake F. J.
  2. At that time: “shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people—the guardian angel of Israel (“thy people,” ch. 10:13), shall cast Satan and his angels to the earth to be among men. Dan. 12:1, Rev. 12:7-12” Fausset A. R.
  3. Michael the archangel. His name means ‘who is like God’. He is the chief of the heavenly angels. Dan. 10:13, 21; 12:1, 7-9, Jude 9, 1Thess. 4:16
  4. The old serpent, the Devil, the dragon and Satan. Rev. 12:9; 13:2, 4, 1Cor. 11:3. He is also called, The god of this world 2Cor. 4:4, the prince of this world Jn. 12:31, the prince of the powers of the air Eph. 2;1-3, the accuser of the brethren Rev. 12:10.
  5. The accuser 1s expelled and will never have access to heaven again Rev. 12:10. He has been having access hitherto, Job. 1:6-12, 1Kg. 22:19-23 and believers have always been discharged and acquitted daily by the blood of the Lamb and our advocate in the right hand of God. 1Jn. 2 1-2.
  6. Rev. 12:12. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth. The devil is come down among them, having great wrath, because he knows he has a short time before been sent to the abyss.
  7. At that time: The time of Jacob’s trouble, the tribulation in the middle of Daniel’s 70 weeks. Jer. 30:6-7, Matt. 24:15-22. The time of God’s wrath. Daniel 9:27, the 70th week concerns Israel and Jerusalem, as did the 69th week. The Jews are the only people spoken in the scriptures to go through these travails. Is. 66:7-8, Jer. 30:4-9, Mic. 5:3, Zech. 10:9-12; 11:11-17
  8. At that time: Daniel’s people shall be delivered (translated), every 144,000 that shall be found written in the book of life. The Salvation or birth and sealed of the remnant Jews. Rev. 7:1-8, Rom. 9:27-29; 11:1-6, 26-32. God’s plan to graft Jewish believers into His programme will be fulfilled before the great tribulation The total number is 144, 000 Jews. This has nothing to do with the church.
  9.  The man child and the birth of a nation. Rev. 12:1-6, Is. 66:7-10, Jer. 30:4-7. Israel is always addressed as a woman. Is. 54:1-6, Hos. 2:14-23, Ezek. 16:2-17, Jer. 3:1-14. The sun, the moon and 12 stars symbolize Israel. Gen. 39:7-12
  10. Israel will be kept save from the trouble of the 1260 days or 42 month or 3½ years.  Rev. 12:6, 12-17, Is. 26:20-21. They are Jehovah witnesses Is. 43:10; 52:7-10. The flight of the Jews. Matt. 24:15-20, Rev. 12: 13-17. The rest of the Jews running from the Antichrist. This flight has been predicted by the Lord Himself.
  11. God has not appointed anyone who believes unto wrath. 1Thes. 5:9 He will save the righteous before the day of evil. 2Pet. 2:5-9.
