This study tells us about the return to earth, of Satan, 'in person' (as The Spurious Messiah) 5 months prior to the, "In Person", return of Jesus Christ (as King of kings and Lord of lords) and how it will play out..Sadly, our people are not mentally nor spiritually prepared to face the supernatural entering in of Satan and his angels when they are cast out of heaven to this earth (Rev. 12:7-9)..There shall be a time when the last grain of sand runs out of the final hour glass in this generation and we will see the appearance of the little horn, Satan, the false Messiah, the "abomination of desolation", come stand in the holy place claiming to be God.One thing is more certain in life than death and taxes, and that is our Father's Word.It is written and, as the angel told Daniel, it is True!.As we read earlier, the whole world will be mesmerized and overflown (swept away) with the false messiah's flood of lies and deceits and not only that, he will possess great credentials to multiply the deception with his ability to perform "miracles in the sight of men", like commanding fire (lightning) to fall from heaven (Rev. 13:13) ..Many of us have grown up with the concept of Satan as an evil-appearing man running around in a little red suit carrying a three-pronged pitch fork, and thus we'd be able to spot this 'wicked one' in a crowd anywhere.But such is not the case, for if you read of the beauty and charm and wisdom of this charismatic one in Ezekiel 28 you will then understand how it is that the people of this world, including the majority of Christianity, will love him when he arrives.That is because they will see him as "an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14), even as the Messiah, and not as a wicked evil one, i.e. Satan..Furthermore, they will marvel when he heals the deadly wound to the New Word Order and ushers in world peace, though it be only temporary.He will also fix everybody's bank account and grant more entitlements to the people of the world than any leader before him in the history of mankind.And we have seen "in type" in this final generation that character and Truth does not matter to many near as much as, "It's the economy, stupid!"We have also seen in type how that those who work deceitfully, utterly despise those rascally men and women of God, those "bruisers" who are wise to their ways of deceit and flattery, and who expose their evil deeds by shining the light of Truth on them.Yes, the great tribulation of these last days will be a time of "globalization" and "peace and prosperity", NOT a time of world wars and rumors of world wars (Mat. 24:6-7).As we have learned already in this great Book of Daniel, Satan, the false-christ, enters in "prosperously and peaceably" and simply takes the kingdom because the world will believe that Messiah has come.So let us continue with our study, keeping in mind that we are now reading about events yet future when the vile person, the little horn, i.e. the false messiah, is present defacto..Remember we concluded our speculations and overlays of the events leading up to the sound of the 6th Trump, which is the entering in of the vile person, when we got to verse 21.We learned that up to that appointed time, all of man's attempts at peace treaties and covenants came to naught, but the "vile person", the false messiah, the "religious beast" of Revelation 13 will be able to achieve it..Daniel 11:23"And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.".Don't think for one minute just because the false messiah enters in and heals the deadly wound and establishes a covenant of peace that everything is now fine and dandy, for his flood of lies and deceits will have just begun..Furthermore, he will be willingly aided by the small or "little people" who are the sons of Cain, the Kenites.You could call them chips off the old "little horn" for they are the "bad figs" of Jeremiah 24 and the "tares" of Matthew 13, i.e. Satan's own grand-children.Notice also that the Hebrew word translated "people" in this verse is "gowy", which figuratively means "a flight of locusts", even as these Kenites are the foot soldiers of that locust army that comes against our people."SMALL" = Strong's Hebrew #4592;me‛aṭ me‛âṭ - meh-at', meh-awt'From H4591; a little or few (often adverbial or comparative): - almost, (some, very) few (-er, -est), lightly, little (while), (very) small (matter, thing), some, soon, X very."PEOPLE" = Strong's Hebrew #1471;gôy gôy - go'ee, go'-ee;Apparently from the same root as H1465 (in the sense of massing); a foreign nation; hence a Gentile; also (figuratively) a troop of animals, or a flight of locusts: - Gentile, heathen, nation, people.Here again is how the vile person, the little horn, enters in..Daniel 11:24 "He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.".Remember that this will be a time of "spiritual trouble" such as never was nor ever shall be (Dan. 12:1)..Again, antichrist will do something no other leader or predecessor has ever done.He is going to provide (scatter among the people) the ultimate entitlement programs of peace, security, and prosperity such as the world has never seen.As the saying goes, he is going to provide "a chicken in the pot" for everyone... every one who will follow after him and "love him" that is!Do you have a price?Will he be able to buy your loyalty by paying off all your debts?.Remember it is written that the old dragon, that religious beast of Rev. 13:11, will exercise all the power of the 'first' beast, the One World System, i.e. the New World Order, which means he is going to have "a well oiled machine" that he will interweave throughout the world against all strong holds, even until the end of the age..Daniel 11:25 "And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.".Remember that this takes place after the sound of the 6th Trump, when the little horn, has arrived.That is why this king of the south cannot be found in history... because it is yet future from now.The point is though, there shall be a great army of people belonging to the king of the south, but "he shall not stand", i.e. will make no stand against the leadership of Satan and his own little people who shall "forecast devices", as in fabricate lies and deceit, against him.In fact, the only ones who shall "stand" in that day are God's elect, who we shall read of a few verses hence..The next verse helps explain why the king shall not make a stand..Daniel 11:26 "Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.".You "see", the king of the south doesn't have a prayer of a chance in taking a stand against the little horn because his own people will fall before the false messiah, as in, be 'taken in' by the flood of deception and those devices forecast against them..This is all part of the great "spiritual" desolation that shall take place by the overflowing army of Satan..Daniel 11:27"And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.".We sure have seen examples of "kings" lying to one another at one table lately, haven't we, e.g. think, the UN security council?.Nevertheless, our Father's Plan concerning the time of the end shall come to pass "exactly" as it is written, which means that the whole world will be deceived by the false messiah... with the exception of those who have "the seal of God" in their foreheads..Daniel 11:28 "Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.".Don't make this complicated for it is not.Remember from our reading of Revelation 12:13-15, that Satan, the old dragon, called "the vile person and the little horn" here in Daniel, comes after and persecutes 'the woman', representing Christianity, i.e. those who keep the holy Covenant by believing in Jesus Christ..And as it is written, the vile person, who is the son of perdition, shall do exploits which means he will act effectively, as in be very successful, in spreading his spiritual desolations which cause the great "falling away" spoken of by Paul in 2 Thes. 2:3.And let no man deceive you by any means!This he shall do BEFORE Jesus Christ returns and we gather back to Him at the sound of the 7th (and final) Trump..2 Thessalonians 2:3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.".Daniel 11:29 "At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.".Satan shall return after accomplishing his great "exploits" but now all of a sudden things don't run as smoothly as before and they begin to go awry because he encounters a big, big problem...God's elect, the "bruisers" of the serpent, the servants of True King of kings and Lord of lords!Wouldn't you just love to be part of that magnificent army of God?Stay True to your Father's Word and keep the gospel armor on and in place, and YOU CAN BE a champion of your people!.Daniel 11:30 "For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.".What is it that gives the false messiah so much grief to the point he becomes indignant?Actually the same thing that makes all liberals indignant... Truth and righteousness!They can't stand men and women of God who expose their evil deeds and shine the light of Truth upon their wicked ways!Yes, that old dragon becomes extremely wroth with God's elect who give him a spiritual thumping and bruising to the point that it causes him to breath fire from his nostrils (figuratively speaking)..If you check out the phrase "the ships of Chittim" in Hebrew you will find it means "the appointed bruisers".BDB (Brown Driver Briggs) Definition # H3794; kittı̂y / kittı̂yı̂yChittim or Kittim = “Bruisers"1) a general term for all islanders of the Mediterranean Sea2) the descendants of Javan, the son of Japheth and grandson of Noah .Did you know it was prophesied from the very beginning, way back in Genesis chapter 3, that the woman's seed would bruise the head of the serpent, that old dragon?.Genesis 3:14-15[14] "And the LORD God said unto the serpent, "Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:"".These are idiomatic statements of 'degradation' in Hebrew simply stating in "figurative" language that Satan would always be "a low life", or as we would say one who is "lower than a snakes belly"!.Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.".Christ's heel was bruised at His crucifixion by the seed of the serpent, the children of Cain, but it shall be the good seed, or the children of God that shall be the appointed "bruisers", the ships of Chittim in these last days..In other words, while the whole world, even great armies of people like we read about earlier, shall all bow to the "false messiah" and no king will therefore be able to make a stand.God's elect are not taken in by his miracles and overflowing deception but rather they step forward and "take a stand" against the fiery darts of the wicked one (Eph. 6), that old dragon.Of course we know that it will be the "Stone cut out without hands", i.e. Jesus Christ, that will ultimately smash and destroy him, but God's elect will "knock him around" and "kick his dragon derriere" for "a time".Satan is going to wine and dine anyone who is willing to be swayed,including those who shall betray their sons and daughters and loved ones by delivering them up to him. They will deliver them up to him because they will believe he is Christ!.Let's return to Daniel and continue to read and learn about Satan and how he has intelligence with (i.e. instructs) his little people (those who forsake the covenant), i.e. the locust army.excerpt; Full Study Here: https://www.americanwisdomseries.com/7190.html
