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”.
