2 | Who is the god of fortresses | Daniel | starfire | 169797 | ||
Dan 11:38 what is "he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor him with gold, silver, costly stones and treasures." On another site I found this explanation: God of fortresses: Since verse 37 informs us, this king will regard no god, and place himself above all gods. What is meant here? The word fortress, zw (m Ma owz means place or means of safety, protection, refuge, stronghold and is often translated strength.) He will honor in the place of god, strength or power. He will honor the power of military might and strength. North Korea, which is communist and atheistic, is a good picture of this new religion. The antichrist will be a materialist, denying the spiritual realm and exalting “military might” |
