Chapter 8.1 - Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation" (AOD)
For over 2000 years many people (some being real Saints*) have been making various "interpretations" about the historical fulfillment
of an event commonly called Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation". However, EVERY ONE of those interpretations clearly contradicted
related Scriptures, therefore, EVERY ONE of those past "interpretations" were immediately proven (by the Bible) to be completely WRONG.
*Note: in the Bible, the term "Saint" applies to every saved "wheat/sheep" in each of the four temporal "Kingdoms of Heaven" throughout history.
However, the term "Last Saint" applies only to the "wise virgins" who "went forth" into the Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven". [Mat 25:1-13]
Basically, there are two reasons why all previous interpretations of Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation" were incorrect.
Chapter 8.2 - The FIRST Reason Daniel's "Abomination" was never known:
Clearly, God PROMISED the truth about Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation" would remain "closed-up" and "sealed" (from all the Saints)
until the "time-of-the-end" (also called the "Season and Time") on earth after Daniel's Fourth Beast, or the Revelation Beast, had been destroyed.
The historical fulfillment of Daniel's "Abomination" was NOT even understood by Daniel... and it could NEVER be understood by any Saint until
it was revealed to the Last Saints... who are also shown as the "wise virgins" living during the Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven". [Mat 25:1-13]
Dan 12:8-10 And I [Daniel] heard, but I understood not; then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the END of these things? [Daniel's prophecies]
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed-up and sealed till the time-of-the-end. [time after the Fourth Beast]
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand;
but the wise [the Last Saints - also shown as the "wise virgins" of Daniel's Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven"] shall understand.
Dan 12:13 But go thy way [Daniel] till the END be: for thou shall rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, SHUT-UP the words and SEAL THE BOOK, even to the "time-of-the-end";
many [ten virgins] shall run to and fro, [during the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven"] and knowledge shall be increased
[knowledge increased at the "time-of-the-end" as the Last Saints preach - as the Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound"... Rev 10:7-11]
Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand
unto heaven, and sware by Him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half: and when he [the Anti-Christ]
shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the Holy People [the Last Saints or the "wise virgins" of the Fourth Kingdom]
all these things shall be finished.
------------------------------------------------------ Implications of Daniel 12 ----------------------------------------------------------
The implications of Daniel 12 are simple enough for all to see.... God PROMISED the truth about Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation"
would remain "closed-up" and "sealed" to EVERYONE... until the "time-of-the-end" (also shown as the "Season and Time" on earth)
after the destruction of Daniel's Fourth Beast - after the Great Tribulation - after the Revelation Beast. See chapter 1 and chapter 2.
In fact, the Lord Jesus Christ ALSO PROMISED that the Saints alive in the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" would recognize ("shall see")
the historical fulfillment of Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation" [Mat 24:15]. That is an amazing Biblical fact, that in both the Old Testament
and the New Testament, God promises Biblical Truth about Daniel's "Abomination" could only be understood (and preached) by the Last Saints.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The historical fulfillment of Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation" could never be known to Saints living in 100AD, or 1000AD, or 1500AD,
because those Saints lived and died LONG BEFORE the beginning of the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" (or the "Abomination" taking place)
... so, the fulfillment of this end-time prophecy remained "sealed" to them. Exactly as it was foretold in both the Old and the New Testaments.
The Bible insists for most people alive when the Lord Returns - it will be like Noah's Day... when they "KNEW NOT" about their own Judgment.
They did NOT see the rise-and-fall of the Anti-Christ ruling (within the church - not over the world). Just as the days of Noah were, the last people living on earth when the Lord Returns "KNEW NOT" about their impending destruction. At least that's what the Bible says... if we dare believe it.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the Coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days
that were before the Flood they [all the unsaved] were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the Ark, 39 And [they] KNEW NOT until the flood came, and took them all away;
so shall also the Coming of the Son of man be. [the unsaved now are just as unaware - as they were during Noah's world]
Chapter 8.3 - The SECOND Reason Daniel's "Abomination" was never known:
While we can know absolutely that all previous interpretations about Daniel's "Abomination" were wrong because the truth remained "sealed",
all previous interpretations were wrong because [1] they did not understand WHO was involved in "placing" or the "set-up" of Daniel's AOD,
and [2] they did not understand WHAT Daniel's AOD represented in history, and [3] they did not understand WHEN Daniel's AOD occurred
in history, and [4] they did not understand WHERE Daniel's AOD occurred, and [5] they did not understand WHY Daniel's AOD happened.
Obviously no denomination, church or preacher can even pretend to offer an "informed opinion" about a prophecy - when they cannot even harmonize all related Scriptures addressing the who - what - when - where and why of that prophetic event. We will be harmonizing these now,
to show harmony of Scripture - and to fulfill GOD'S PROMISE to reveal these mysteries... as the Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound". [Rev 10:7-11]
Since WE ARE the "wise virgins" of the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" [Mat 25:1-13], we can preach the Biblical Truth about Daniel's "Abomination".
We can show complete harmony of Scripture about the who - what - when - where or why, associated with Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation".
In Chapter 8.4 we explain (for the first time ever) the WHY of Daniel's "Abomination"... what was the actual purpose of this infamous event?
In Chapter 8.5 we explain (for the first time ever) the WHAT of Daniel's "Abomination"... what's the historical fulfillment of this prophecy?
In this section we cite passages revealing the WHERE and the WHEN and the WHO related to Daniel's "Abomination of desolation"...
The following chapters (8.4 and 8.5) harmonize completely, and absolutely confirm, the passages that are being revealed in this section.
THE WHO - who was involved in the "placing" or the "set-up" of Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation"?
(a) The "Abomination" is exclusive to the "Ten Virgins" who "went forth" from the Third Kingdom into the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" [Mat 25:1]
(b) The "Abomination" is exclusive to the "Ten Horns" (or "Ten Kings") of the Fourth Beast - with the "Little Horn" arising later [Dan 7:7-8, 7:24-25]
(c) The "Abomination" is exclusive to the "Ten Horns" (or "Ten Kings") who agreed to "give their Kingdom to the [Fourth] "Beast" [Rev 17:12.-17]
(d) The "Abomination" is exclusive to the Ten "Horns/Kings/Virgins" and a "Little Horn" who take away the "Daily" and "pollute the Sanctuary".
Dan 11:31 And arms [the ten "Kings/Horns"] shall stand on his [the Little Horn's] part and they [both] shall pollute
the Sanctuary of Strength [the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven"], and shall take away the Daily Sacrifice, and they [both]
SHALL PLACE the Abomination that maketh Desolate. [they establish Daniel's Abomination in the Fourth Kingdom]
Dan 12:11 And from the time that the Daily Sacrifice shall be taken away, and the Abomination that maketh Desolate is SET UP,
there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred
and five and thirty days. 13 But [Daniel] go thou thy way till the END be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of days.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE WHEN - when did Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation" occur in history?
(a) when the "Ten Virgins" departed the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" and "went forth" into the (4th) Great Tribulation "Kingdom" [Mat 25:1]
(b) when the "Ten Horns" and the "Ten Kings" helped the "Little Horn" to "place" and/or "set-up" the "Abomination" in the Fourth Beast [Dan 11 & 12]
(c) when the Ten "Horns/Kings/Virgins" all decided to "agree to GIVE their KINGDOM to the [Revelation] BEAST" [Rev 17:12-13 and 17:17]
Rev 17:12 And the ten "Horns" which thou sawest are ten "Kings", which have received no Kingdom as yet; [during the church age]
but receive power as Kings one hour [Satan's "Little Season"] with the Beast. These ["Horns/Kings/Virgins"] have one mind
and shall give their power and strength unto the Beast.
Rev 17:17 For God hath put it in their [the ten "Horns/Kings/Virgins"] hearts to fulfill His Will,
and to agree and give their [Fourth] Kingdom unto the Beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE WHERE - where was Daniel's "Abomination" initiated or established? Where was it originally "placed" or "set-up"?
(a) The "Abomination" was not "placed/set-up" in the Jewish Kingdom or Christian Kingdom - but in the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" [Mat 25:1-13]
(b) The "Abomination" was established during the Kingdom of the "Ten Horns" (or "Ten Kings") and during the reign of the "Little Horn" [Dan 7:7]
(c) The "Abomination" was established during the Kingdom of the "Ten Horns" (or "Ten Kings") and during the reign of the "Beast" [Rev 17:12-17]
While there's no question that the "wheat and tares" committed "abominations" in EACH of the four "Kingdoms of Heaven",
Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation" (referenced by Christ in Matthew 24:15) is a very specific and unique event that (only) occurs
during the FOURTH BEAST or KINGDOM on earth. It has absolutely nothing to do with abominations within the (2nd) Jewish Kingdom
or abominations within the (3rd) Christian Kingdom. It's exclusive to the ten "Horns/Kings/Virgins" who departed the churches and "went forth" (following the "Little Horn" or "False Prophet"), as they were preaching the Gospel of the (4th) Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven". [Mat 25:1-13]
Again, nobody can even pretend to offer an informed opinion/interpretation about Daniel's "Abomination" until they have
harmonized all Scriptures on the ten "Horns/Kings/Virgins", because, according to Scripture, they are the people who are alive
during the Fourth Kingdom and they are the people who help the "Little Horn" establish ("set-up" or "place") Daniel's "Abomination".
Any "interpretation" that does not harmonize these Biblical facts is only demonstrating that it does not even understand the basic context
of this very specific event - that it does not understand WHEN this event occurred in history - see Theology 101 as explained in chapter 3.2.
Chapter 8.4 - The Purpose of Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation"
The purpose of Daniel's Fourth Kingdom was not to evangelize a "great multitude". That had already been accomplished during
the "testimony of the Two Witnesses" (aka the Great Commission)... during the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven". Instead,
the purpose of Daniel's Fourth Kingdom, or the Revelation Beast, was to bring JUDGMENT on the "House of God", which
is represented by the "wheat and tares" (the WHO) living when the Lord Jesus Returns - see Theology 102 in chapter 5.3
The "House of God" does not represent some physical structure. It's neither the Jewish Temple or the Christian Church.
It represents the "wheat and tares" living in the (Fourth) Kingdom. During the (2nd) Jewish Kingdom the "House of God"
was represented by all the "wheat and tares" living in national Israel. During the (3rd) Christian Kingdom the "House of God"
was represented by all the "wheat and tares" in the Christian Church. Likewise, during the (4th) Great Tribulation Kingdom the
"House of God" was represented by the "Ten Virgins" following the Anti-Christ into the Revelation Beast and/or Great Tribulation.
As with each previous "Kingdom of Heaven", the Fourth Kingdom/Beast contained many (unsaved) "tares" and few (saved) "wheat".
1Pet 4:17 For the time is come that Judgment must BEGIN at the House of God [with the "wheat and Tares"]:
and if it [God's Judgment] FIRST begin with us [begins with the saved "wheat"], what shall the end be
of them that obey not the Gospel of God [the unsaved "tares"] 18 And if the righteous [the saved "wheat"]
scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner [the unsaved "tares"] appear?
The purpose of Daniel's Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" was to (first) bring Judgment on the "Wise Virgins", or all the living Saints.
This is shown in 1 Peter 4 as being both the "us" in verse 17 and "the righteous" in verse 18. Then, after Judgment on the Saints
is finished, God separates the "wheat and tares" and brings His Judgment on the "Anti-Christ" and "Foolish Virgins" (the Beast)...
which are represented by "them that obey not the Gospel of God" in verse 17 and by "the ungodly and the sinner" in verse 18.
God's FIRST JUDGMENT (Judgment on the "House of God") did not include any people OUTSIDE of the Fourth Kingdom.
The "House of God" (where Judgment begins) does not include Jews, Moslems, Buddhists, Hindus, Humanists, Atheists, etc.
Instead, it consisted of only the "wheat and tares" that followed the Anti-Christ out of the (3rd) Christian Kingdom and into
the last temporal "Kingdom of Heaven" on earth... establishing the Great Tribulation Kingdom and/or the Revelation Beast.
Contrary to traditional Christian eschatology, 1 Peter 4:17-18 is NOT talking about separating the church from the world.
Instead, it talks about separating the (saved) "wheat" from the (unsaved) "tares" in Daniel's (4th) Great Tribulation Kingdom.
While never understood by the Saints until this time, there are actually TWO JUDGMENTS before the (5th) Eternal Kingdom.
The First Judgment of God comes against (only) the ten "Horns/Kings/Toes/Virgins" living during the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven".
During the (spiritual) First Judgment, God separates the "Wise Virgins" from the "Foolish Virgins" during the "Final Harvest".
During the (physical) Second Judgment, God's Wrath comes against Satan and "his land"... the political "Kingdoms of Man".
And there's a brief "Season and Time" on earth (aka the "time-of-the-end") occurring between these two Judgments of God.
Note: This prophecy is only concerned with the First Judgment of God, during Daniel's Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven".
It does not cover the Second Judgment of God against Satan's physical/political "Kingdoms of Man" (governments)
which Judges all the people outside the "Kingdom of Heaven"... and occurs after the current "Season and Time".
There are only a few comments made about the SECOND (physical) Judgment on the world - see Chapter 10.
Obviously, the Last Saints could not preach about the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecies or Matthew's prophecies...
clearly the Last Saints could not preach about how they could have "seen" the fulfillment of Great Tribulation prophecies,
unless there was a period on earth after the Revelation Beast (Daniel's Fourth Beast) had been destroyed. Again, this period
is specifically NAMED in the Bible [Dan 7:11-12] as the "Season and Time" after the people in the Fourth Kingdom have been
"given to the Burning Flame" or "cast alive into the Lake-of-Fire"... events occurring after the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven",
but before the (5th) Eternal "Kingdom of Heaven" is established - when the Lord Jesus Christ Returns at the Seventh Trump.
Before anyone can even (pretend to) offer an "informed opinion" on Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation" they must first be able
to NAME the person called the Anti-Christ ("Little Horn" or "False Prophet") and NAME those called the ten "Horns/Kings/Virgins"
and explain HOW he was able to get them to "give their Kingdom to the Beast". Then they must be able to explain WHAT Daniels "Abomination of Desolation" represented, WHEN it occurred and WHERE it occurred. This will be difficult (impossible) for most
because they were taught - and still believe - that there is no (Fourth) "Kingdom of Heaven" on earth after the Great Commission of
the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" is finished... and they know nothing about the "Season and Time" on earth after the Beast
is given to the "Burning Flame" or "Lake of Fire" - see the "Season and Time" explained and harmonized in Chapters 1.2 and 1.3.
Bottom Line: The "Wise Virgins" could never have been "overcome" and "killed", the Last Saints would have never agreed to
"give their Kingdom to the Beast", if Daniel's hidden prophecies had been "unsealed" before we were deceived by the "Little Horn".
The Last Saints were only able to "see" the (historical) fulfillment of these Bible mysteries AFTER we had already experienced them.
God did not "unseal" Daniel's prophecies until AFTER they had already been fulfilled. Then the Last Saints are commanded to reveal
these "unsealed" Bible mysteries during the "Season and Time" on earth AFTER destruction of the Fourth Beast, or Revelation Beast.
More than that - the Bible actually promises that only the Last Saints "shall understand" these "unsealed" mysteries being revealed.
You can re-read chapter 4 to understand what the Bible actually teaches about the Last Sign on earth before the Lord's Return.
Chapter 8.5 - Fulfillment of Daniel's Abomination of Desolation (AOD)
Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation" is Satan RULING over the Last Saints (through the actions of his Anti-Christ)
during the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" on earth (aka the Revelation Beast/the Great Tribulation/Satan's "Little Season").
The following passages show the "Little Horn" or "False Prophet" RULING over the "wheat and tares" of the Fourth Beast.
Although the "wheat and tares" are called by many different names; such as the "Kingdom", and the "Holy Place" and
the "Temple of God", and the "Host and Stars", and the "Mighty and Holy People", and the "Sanctuary and Host" and
the "Holy People". The Anti-Christ ruling over the last "wheat and tares", during the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven",
is the historical fulfillment of the EVENT which is commonly known as "Daniel's Abomination of Desolation".
(1) The "Abomination" of the Anti-Christ "standing" [ruling] in the "Holy Place" [Mat 24]
(2) The "Man of Sin" when he is revealed "sitting" [ruling] in the "Temple of God" [2Th 2]
These first two examples show the Anti-Christ ruling during the (4th) Great Tribulation Kingdom.
The context of both passages is people living in the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven", and not a physical building.
The next three examples also show the Anti-Christ ruling the same people - in the same period ... the Revelations Beast.
We now have five (5) separate and related examples of the Anti-Christ ruling over the "wheat and tares" during Daniels Fourth Beast.
(3) The "Ten Kings" that "agree to give their Kingdom unto the Beast" [Rev 17]
(4) The "Ten Horns" that "give their power and strength unto the Beast" [Rev 17]
(5) The tormenting "Locusts" who are "ruled" by a king named Apollyon [Rev 9]
However, the EVENT known as Daniel's "Abomination of Desolation" is shown in many other passages of Scripture.
Below is a partial list of some passages showing Daniel's Abomination RULING over Daniel's Fourth Kingdom.
You cannot pretend to have an informed opinion on Daniel's AOD unless all of these verses are harmonized.
Without harmonizing all these verses, at best you can only offer some partial-truth about Daniel's AOD.
Without harmonizing all these verses (and more) you demonstrate no knowledge about their context.
(6) The "Horns" that were "plucked up" by the Anti-Christ [Dan 7]
(7) The "Host and Stars" that were "cast down" by the Anti-Christ [Dan 8]
(8) The "Kingdom" which the Anti-Christ "obtains with flatteries" [Dan 11]
(9) The "Kingdom" that is "overflown" and "broken" by the Anti-Christ [Dan 11]
(10) The "Mighty and Holy People" who are "destroyed" by the Anti-Christ [Dan 8]
(11) The "Sanctuary and Host" that are "trodden under foot" by the Anti-Christ [Dan 8]
(12) The "Woman" which was hidden from the face of the "serpent" for 3.5 "times" [Rev 12]
(13) The "Holy People" whose "power is scattered" by the Anti-Christ for 3.5 "times" [Dan 12]
(14) The "Kings" that are "given into his hand" [into the Anti-Christ's hand] for 3.5 "times" [Dan 7]
(15) The "Witnesses" which are first "overcome" and are later "killed" by Satan for 3.5 "days" [Rev 11]
(16) The "Holy City" which the Anti-Christ "treads under foot" for forty-two months or 3.5 "years" [Rev 11]
(17) The "Ruler of the Last Saints" as the Anti-Christ "makes war" for forty-two months or 3.5 "years" [Rev 13]
(18) The "Arms" that "shall stand on his part" [stand on the Anti-Christ's part] and "pollute the Sanctuary" [Dan 11]
(19) The "Ten Virgins" who "went forth" [preaching the gospel of the Anti-Christ] during the Fourth Kingdom [Mat 25]
(20) The "Sanctuary" that is "polluted" by the Anti-Christ [and his "arms"] during the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" [Dan 11]
(21) The "Locusts" that arise [under the Anti-Christ's rule] and "torment" all of the "tares" that remain within their churches [Rev 9]
While the people alive during Daniel's Fourth Kingdom are shown [Mat 25] as the "Ten Virgins" that "went forth"
into the Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven"... and they are shown [Dan 7] as the "Ten Kings" and the "Ten Horns"
that were "given into the hand" of the Anti-Christ... and they are shown [Rev 17] as the "Ten Kings" and the "Ten Horns"
that "agree to give their Kingdom to the Beast", the Bible contains dozens of other passages talking about these same people
and every single one of those passages must be harmonized - before anyone can even pretend to understand more than partial-truth.
You cannot even pretend to have found BIBLICAL TRUTH about a subject unless you can harmonize ALL SCRIPTURES
that are related to that subject. In the case of the people living on earth during the reign of the Anti-Christ (the Fourth Beast),
you must be able to harmonize all passages related to those people - regardless of the names they are called in those passages.
The doctrine of "Harmony of Scripture" does not mean harmony of select passages... it means harmony of all related passages.
The Bible PROMISES that (a) these truths would remain "sealed" (to all Saints) until the "Season and Time" and/or the "time-of-the-end"
after the Fourth Kingdom and (b) when these Biblical mysteries are finally preached (by the Last Saints) none of the "tares/goats" within
the Third or Fourth Kingdom - and none of the people outside these "Kingdoms of Heaven" would ever believe or accept this "new song",
even though they could not find even ONE VERSE to contradict it. We now have complete harmony of all Scripture (and reality) in
the historical fulfillment of end-time prophecy - and the preaching of Last Saints... exactly as the Bible promised would be the case.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Footnote #7 - The Historical Fulfillment of Prophecy
This EVENT of these last Saints leaving their churches (or getting kicked-out of their churches for preaching the Gospel of the
Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven") is a historical event that occurred in mostly Reformed and traditional Orthodox Protestant churches,
because the Last Saints naturally sought out the most faithful churches as they "saw" the Church Age was coming to an end... and the
most faithful Gospels were (and still are) found within the Reformed and traditional Orthodox Protestant churches. [see Rev 12:17 below]
Again, the "Ten Virgins" departing (or getting kicked-out) from their churches - for teaching the Gospel of the First Revelation Beast
is an actual historical event that was NOTED and DISCUSSED in hundreds of Reformed and traditional Orthodox Protestant churches
Anyone who did not see this event occur - or discuss the movement occurring in the "church"... is not qualified to offer an opinion on this.
We already saw (Chapter 5.1 - 5.3) that PART of the Gospel of Christ was that the churches would be infiltrated by unsaved "tares"
and the "leaven" of their heresies would corrupt the churches - and eventually the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven". That is why
the Last Saints were primarily found in Reformed and Orthodox Protestant churches (they were the most faithful churches available) and
the Saints departure into the (4th) "Kingdom of Heaven" was not seen (or barely noticed) in Catholic churches - or in many of the apostate Protestant churches. Satan's purpose during his "Little Season" was to attack the Last Saints... it was not to attack the unsaved "tares" that were already following false gospels - or people outside of the Kingdom - like Jews, Moslems, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, Humanists, etc,.
Rev 12:17 And the Dragon [Satan] was wroth with the woman [the church], and went to make war with the remnant of her seed
[the Last Saints on earth] which keep the commandments of God, and have the Testimony of Jesus Christ.
As a result, the church (both Catholic and Protestant) have made critical errors in the CONTEXT of the Anti-Christ's reign.
Traditional eschatology has taught the Anti-Christ rules over the entire world or the entire earth. This error can be easily shown
by the inability to harmonize with passages related to the Anti-Christ's reign (harmonize Chapter 8.4 and 8.5 along with Chapter 9).
Remember, we cannot even pretend to have found Biblical Truth unless/until we harmonize ALL RELATED passages. The notion that
the Anti-Christ rules people outside of the Fourth Kingdom contradicts a multitude of related passages - proving that it's a heretical doctrine.
While many "interpretations" about Daniel's Abomination were made before this "time-of-the-end" or "Season and Time" they are ALL proven to be un-Biblical and, therefore, incorrect - since those interpretations were made before God "unsealed" Daniel's prophecies
to the "ten virgins" that actually "went forth" from the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" (the churches) as they followed the
Anti-Christ into - and as they preached his Gospel of - the (4th) Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven".
