Daniel 12 -- The End Of The Book

Daniel was told about the Tribulation period and that the last three and a half years would usher in a time of terrible suffering.  But my commentary said, "God's elect people will be preserved ... God will keep His covenant with Abraham and see to it that the Jewish remnant will enter into their promised kingdom."

"Nations will submit to the rule of Antichrist, but there will be growing dissent and opposition even though his work is energized by Satan."  Then the battle at Armageddon occurs, and "the sign of the returning Son of Man will appear in the heavens and the opposing armies will unite to fight Jesus Christ.  But the Lord will descend from heaven with His armies, defeat both armies, and take captive Satan, Antichrist, and the false prophet and cast them into the lake of fire ... Jesus will stand on the Mount of Olives, and be king over all the earth and will establish His glorious kingdom for a thousand years ... The Father has promised a kingdom to His Son, and He will keep His promise.  One day Jesus will deliver that promised kingdom up to the Father."

"Daniel humbly asked God for the wisdom that he needed.  But He may not tell us.  He knows how much we need to know and how much we can take."

"I shall be satisfied, when I awake with thy likeness."

I'm looking forward to the end, Father!
