1 | daniel 11:37 translation differences | Dan 11:37 | bible believer | 197949 | ||
in a discussion i recently had with a friend we spoke of the antichrist and whether or not he would/could be a jew or a gentile. although not necessarily an important topic, it was an interesting discussion. at one point we both read daniel 11:37 and i (using my niv bible) said that from the reference to "gods of his fathers", i would assume the antichrist would be a gentile. my friend referenced his bible (kjv) which in daniel 11:37 references the antichrist as having no regard for the "God of his fathers". this makes the reference sound as if the antichrist is jewish. i'm wondering if anyone else would consider this difference in translations to be as substantially different as i consider this to be? | ||||||

Good morning bible believer, I don't have any references right at hand but I do have a little bit of logic. First the Jews are still looking for their Messiah to come (and he must be Jewish), and second, this Messiah will bring peace to Israel, and third, this antichrist is supposed to deceive the Jews in particular. So it stands to reason that most likely antichrist will be Jewish, at least by heritage if not in faith (but it wouldn't surprise me if outwardly he appeared to be a very pious Jew). Just my 2cents worth at 4am :-) Cheri |

again, i apologize for the lack of clarity in my question. i am not asking whether one would determine the antichrist to be jewish vs. gentile. i think that is a very debatable topic. what i am questioning is the substantive difference between the niv and the kjv translations. essentially, the kjv says he is a jew and the niv (as well as the nasb, esv, etc) says he's a gentile. how could two reputable translations say the opposite thing? thanks for your "two cents". :-) celebrating His birth, biblebeliever |

Bible Beleiver, Sorry for the misunderstanding. The differences, tho in this instance minor, is scary. The implications... Did the discrepancies take place in the text proper, or in study notes? Cheri |
