6/20/26 Daniel 7: The Tie into Daniel 11
The look into Daniel 7 & the Little Horn isn’t complete without focusing on what we know & it’s further mentioning in the book of Daniel. Today we will temporarily shift from Ch.7 to Ch. 11. This little horn that is labeled as a HE in the word and Is obviously a person of assumed power.
Daniel 11:36-44 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.
This is a person without boundaries, potentially a person without restraint. Right off the top we see this, but also that this goes beyond the physical because he outwardly calls out Jehovah-God, as well as every other faith set. This in the current age could be seen as an atheist who does not believe in the spiritual realm, perhaps calling it a myth or made up, then running at the mouth. I hate to steal the thunder of the atheist who believe one of their own is going to be the one who brings terror to the world at a new level.
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.
His past will be known but he will not be lumped I with them by their values & their faith set. The rituals. The practices will be ignored & his ego will come forward rather than observing humility or boasting of his respective deity. He will give glory to himself. Remember this is essentially the son of satan, who wants glory. This little horn is going to make it known to the world he is all that there is.
This connotation of the one desired by women reads wrong. In the ARA it is neither shall he regard nor the desire of women & any god nor regard for above all, he shall exalt himself. For all we know he could be rainbow mafia, but it not likely because this is more about the spiritual equation & his faith set. Notice the context of V38:
38 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.
He is a man that worships something uncommon that requires a costly sacrifice. His lifestyle will denote this due to his affinity for the desired stones of the world. This appears to be outward & not hidden to public view. You’d think it might be but it does not say this. The next V tells us something we might not fully grasp.
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.
A few points here, then I will come back to the first point, this individual will seize the superpowers of the world. He will not be afraid, he will not be timid. He will be successful in his goals as well, but he will not be alone, those who share the same faith as he has in this practice will be along side him, & he will delegate authority to those followers to rule over what he will conquer. This is why his faith set is not a mystery nor exclusive to him. The flowers of this faith set who follow this foreign god will be made into rulers over the earth, and the divisions of the land.
Perhaps the ten toes, who I stated are the fulfillment of the Club of Rome. Notice Revelation 13:1 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
Revelation 17:12 12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.
Could it be that the little horn, will be the orchestrator of the 10 divisions over the earth & those rulers will share the same faith as this ruler? It does. The time will be brief of these ten divisions & those respective rulers. But the real question for us to address as we dig deep is the manner Daniel said this comes about, by a foreign god. Let’s examine this because we are taught that there is only one God, Jehovah God himself but your word tells you different. Psalm 82 is your homework it is labeled as the divine council, it also ties into Deuteronomy 32:8-9. This is referred to in other labels but is tied to rebellion against Jehovah God & this little horn who brings forth the 4th beast of Daniel 7.
We have to remember that the end times war manifests itself through physical means but it is a spiritual war of Jehovah God vs. all the other deities to determine whose god is GOD. As these physical battles intensify in the physical we will see that the prevailing success of this empire, the 4th beast it will be convincing for the world who stood oppose it to align with it, either convinced that it is sovereign, its god is sovereign & its practices, goals, ambitions & structures or the people of the world will align with it out of necessity for their own survival. Revelation 13 tells us those who do not comply will be beheaded, a practice utilized in islam.
If you look at what is happening now islam is not the only faith set though striking out against those who do not share their faith set, the Hindu’s are also bringing violence against Christians & islam. This little horn will only continue what is going on today & be the figure of hope for his respective faith set.
40 “At the time of the end the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood.
For interpreting this we have to understand that the center of the compass is Israel & no where else. The two directions here are often sought for who they are. While many theologians point top the south and declare it is Egypt, I am not for certain honestly if that is the case simply due to the redesigned map. The ten regions may or may not play a factor here in the division of the globe, if it does we need to understand that the boundaries we know or that Daniel knew have been over thrown, but we cannot also discount who is speaking & his respective point of view. There is more on this in 2 verses hang tight to this.
In Daniels time the north was the Seleucid dynasty led by several kings all with Antiochus in their names, this is Syria. The south is Egypt & was the Ptolemaic dynasty. Now many have declared that the little horn is from Israel but V41 tells us that is not the case.
41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many countries will fall, but Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand.
The beautiful land is Israel itself. He invades it so this is not an Israeli leader Now the three who he takes out in Daniel 7 could be listed here. Edom, Moab & Ammon, this is modern day Jordan and it says they will be delivered, what from? Him, by who the kings of the south & north.
42 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.
Here is the conundrum, Egypt, who what many call the king of the south gets over run & it is not for property it is for gold & Silver, then resources. Riches here is in the ARA Chawmad which means the desirable thing & is tied to feeding the flesh or carnal. This is not oil or earthly minerals. Egypt is in conjunction to the Libyans & the Cushites. The Cushites here are who we know as Ethiopians. These same Cushites are tied multiple times in prophecy & like Egypt are northern African & not middle eastern. They are tied to Nimrod, the creator of Babylon as Cush was the father of Nimrod. These fall to him, but his war against the world does not end there.
There is more conflict to come.
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.
North we have already discussed, the east is another matter. The east is Biblically a direction of rebellion, the people of the east are tied to Cain and then to Ishmael. The children of Ishmael are running terror all over the globe now & getting booted from Japan. These will come against him, which many will think that is a contradiction to what I said earlier about his faith practice. This is where I was very careful with my words because I said there was commonality with Islam but I did not say he was Islamic, but his followers could very well bring Islamic practices over their respective regions to force compliance. Here we see the East & north representatives will incite him, potentially there is a possibility that this is the uprising of a rebellion in his administration as well.
After he lashes out, after his invasion of the Beautiful land of Israel he will create his headquarters.
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.
Notice tents is plural, as in multiple. He will create dominion in Israel & we learn in Revelation 13 that he will seize the temple mount & split it giving gentile reign of over Jerusalem. But we can see that time has its way, we can see that the Lord only lets this evil reign for so long. We can see that the Lord says enough is enough and he closes the book on it.
In our life we suffer, in our life we are traumatized. We are given the fork in the road every day that we can choose the ways of the world that is run by evil run amuck. The system wants you to bow, the system wants you to sell yourself short & bow to them in order to get what the world offers but the Lord has the final say. The book closes eventually, the days come to a close & no one gets out of life alive.
Children of God the dark times are upon the earth. Choose this day who you will serve!
