NASB | Daniel 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 9:27 "And he will enter into a binding and irrevocable covenant with the many for one week (seven years), but in the middle of the week he will stop the sacrifice and grain offering [for the remaining three and one-half years]; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until the complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who causes the horror." |
Subject: Pact with Death Isreal an the Antichrist |
Bible Note: Ezekiel 38.11 says nothing about Maygog. Taken in context it is clearly speaking of the invasion of Egypt and Judea by Antiochus. Cf. Daniel 11.31 to 32, 36. This Calmet interprets of Cambyses, his cruelties in Egypt and his evil design to destroy the Israelites. According to John the antichrist existed in the 1st century, and were no more than those whom ..deny the Father and the Son.. In Matthew 24 Jesus is answering two questions posed by His disciples. First, ..When will these things happen.. referring to the statement made by our Lord in verse 2, and ..What will be the sign of Your coming and the end of the age.. ,referring to the Christian age or the end of the world. He answers the first question in verses 4 to 35 and the second question in verses 36 to 41. Marks account of these events makes two interesting statements. First, in verse 10 he says, .. the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.. Paul in his letter to the Colossians states, .. the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven.. Colossians 1.23. The second statement is in Mark 13.30 and says, .. This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.. A generation is 65 to 80 years. As for ..the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not.. this is none other than the raising of the Roman standards in the temple by Titus in 70CE. There is no evidence in Scripture that a third temple will be built. As for Daniels prophecies in chapter 9 verses 24 to 27 he is merely stating three things. First, when Messiah will come, secondly when He will be cut off, i.e. crucified, and thirdly, what punishment will be imposed on the Jews for their participation in the second event. The book of Revelation which is where I am sure you get the term Magog from is als a book of figurative speech. There are four important things to remember about Revelation. 1. It is a revelation. 1.1 2. to seven churches in Asia. 1.11 3. in signs. He sent and sign.i.fied it. 1.1 4. of things that must shortly come to pass. 1.1 This book like Matthew 24 is about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70CE. |
