Daniel 11:28-45

HE WILL COME TO HIS END

Keywords 11:45

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.

 

1. His heart will be set against the holy covenant (28-35)

The kings of the world did more than just fight with each other. They would also

set themselves up against the holy covenant. They would desecrate the temple

fortresses, setting up the abomination that causes desolation. Those who know

their God will resist, and the wise would be refined by God, purified and spotless.

 

2. against the God of gods (36-45)

The kings of the earth exalt themselves, maligning God himself. They wage war

against God’s Beautiful Land and his people. But God is in control. Although the

strongest of kings rage against God and his holy mountain, the Lord will prevail.

Those who oppose him will come to an end with no one to help them. God is the

help for the wise, who hold on to him in times of trouble.

 

Prayer Lord, always help me to live according to your word.

One Word Don’t be fearful; be wise
