« And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. »
In this passage, Gabriel announces that the Antichrist will confirm a seven-year covenant with many, marking the beginning of Daniel’s seventieth week. This covenant will bring a period of apparent peace and will allow the sacrificial system in Jerusalem to resume.
In the middle of the seven years, the Antichrist will break the covenant, put an end to the sacrifices, and commit the abomination of desolation by exalting himself against God and demanding the worship that belongs to God alone. This event marks the beginning of the Great Tribulation, a time of unprecedented persecution and even more severe judgments.
This verse is one of the most important prophecies concerning the last days. It announces the beginning of the seven-year Tribulation, which will ultimately be followed by the glorious return of Jesus Christ, the defeat of the Antichrist, and the establishment of Christ’s Millennial Kingdom.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
In this passage, Paul foretells the coming of the Antichrist, whom he calls the man of sin and the son of perdition. Before the Day of the Lord, there will be a great apostasy, and the Antichrist will be openly revealed as he opposes God.
This prophecy has not yet been fulfilled. It will be fulfilled in the middle of the seven-year Tribulation, when the Antichrist enters the Third Temple in Jerusalem, brings the sacrifices to an end, and declares himself to be God. This event is the abomination of desolation foretold in Daniel 9:27 and confirmed by Jesus in Matthew 24:15.
This passage reveals the ultimate arrogance of the Antichrist, who will demand the worship that belongs to God alone. This act will mark the beginning of the Great Tribulation and will precede his final judgment at the glorious return of Jesus Christ.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
In this passage, John describes the role of the False Prophet, represented by the second beast. According to the premillennial interpretation, he will exercise all his authority on behalf of the Antichrist, performing great signs to deceive the inhabitants of the earth and leading the entire world to worship the first beast.
The False Prophet will also cause an image of the Antichrist to be set up and will enforce its worship. Those who refuse to worship the image will be persecuted and put to death. He will then impose the mark of the Beast (666), without which no one will be able to buy or sell. This mark will become the sign of allegiance to the Antichrist’s kingdom, identifying those who choose to follow him rather than obey God.
This passage portrays the height of the world’s rebellion against God during the Great Tribulation. Despite the apparent power of the False Prophet and the Antichrist, their dominion will be temporary. At the glorious return of Jesus Christ, they will be defeated and cast alive into the lake of fire, marking God’s final victory over evil.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
In this passage, Jesus warns of the event that will mark a decisive turning point in the last days: the abomination of desolation, foretold by the prophet Daniel. This prophecy has not yet been fulfilled. It will be fulfilled when the Antichrist enters the Third Temple in Jerusalem, brings the sacrifices to an end, declares himself to be God, and demands the worship that belongs to God alone.
From that moment, Jesus instructs those living in Judea to flee immediately without taking time to gather their possessions. This urgent warning shows that the persecution carried out by the Antichrist against those who remain faithful to God will be extremely severe.
This passage announces the beginning of the Great Tribulation, the second half of the seven-year Tribulation. It will be the most severe period of suffering in human history and will end with the glorious return of Jesus Christ, who will defeat the Antichrist, deliver Israel, and establish His Millennial Kingdom.
