11.1b - Discussion of Daniel 11, verse 35

>>> Verse 35: In this verse it is said that “Purification will continue until the end”. From these words on, the vision speaks exclusively about the antichrist. This is clear because Antiochus Epiphanes is already dead, and verse 36 speaks about the (new) “king of Syria”.   And as precise as the prophesies were fulfilled in the past, also these prophecies will be fulfilled in the future.  The “purification” concerns the tribulation time, during three and a half years, for the Jews as well as for the ten tribes of Israel. Many out of those ten tribes have been converted by this time in the “Desert of the Nations”, without knowing their identity. … See about this Ezequiel 20 verses 35-37, 41, and 42: “I will bring you into the ‘Desert of the Nations,’ and there I will condemn you to your face. I will now condemn you just as I condemned your ancestors in the Sinai Desert,” says the Sovereign Lord…...I will take firm control of you and make you obey my covenant….. After I bring you out of the countries where you have been scattered and gather you together, I will accept the sacrifices that you burn, and the nations will see that I am holy. When I bring you back to Israel, the land that I promised I would give to your ancestors, then you will know that I am the Lord”.  And also in Leviticus 26 verses 33, 44, and 45:” After I destroy your towns and ruin your land with war, I'll scatter you among the nations…… No matter what you have done, I am still the Lord your God, and I will never completely reject you or become absolutely disgusted with you there in the land of your enemies. 45 While nations watched, I rescued your ancestors from Egypt so that I would be their God. Yes, I am your Lord, and I will never forget our agreement”. Furthermore in Jeremiah 31 verses 2-11, and Amos 9 verse 9: “I will give the command and shake the people of Israel like grain in a sieve. I will shake them among the nations to remove all who are worthless”, and1 Peter 1 verse 1: “To God's chosen (Israel) people who live as refugees scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia”.
