Daniel 11:37
35 Even some of the wise will stumble, resulting in their refinement, purification, and cleansing until the time of the end, for it is still for the appointed time. 36 “Then the king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every deity, and he will utter presumptuous things against the God of gods. He will succeed until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been decreed must occur. 37 He will not respect the gods of his fathers—not even the god loved by women. He will not respect any god; he will elevate himself above them all. 38 What he will honor is a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not acknowledge he will honor with gold, silver, valuable stones, and treasured commodities. 39 He will attack mighty fortresses, aided by a foreign deity. To those who recognize him he will grant considerable honor. He will place them in authority over many people, and he will parcel out land for a price.
2 Thessalonians 2:4
2 not to be easily shaken from your composure or disturbed by any kind of spirit or message or letter allegedly from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction. 4 He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, and as a result he takes his seat in God’s temple, displaying himself as God. 5 Surely you recall that I used to tell you these things while I was still with you. 6 And so you know what holds him back, so that he will be revealed in his own time.
Notes and References
"... The Report of the Committee in 1954 came out with conclusions on Daniel 11 that was to navigate Reformed trained historicists to introduce a number of considerations in Daniel 11. The Protestant commentaries were consulted and the connections were scooped-up for some verses from other chapters of Daniel. (The committee saw in Protestant commentaries that Daniel 11:36 is linked to Daniel 8:23; Daniel 8:11 and 2 Thessalonians 2:4. Daniel 11:36 is also linked to Daniel 7:25; 7:11; 2 Thessalonians 2:4 and Revelation 13:5-6. Daniel 11:35 is linked to Daniel 7:25 and Daniel 11:36 is also linked to Revelation 13:5. Daniel 11:37 is linked to 2 Thessalonians 2:4 and Daniel 7:25) In Daniel 11:38 they used a concordance method to analyze some terms that are difficult to translate.36 Obscurity of rare words in the Old Testament is a constant problem because there are methodological problems with the epistemology and methods of lexicography of Dictionaries. Rare words are explained with Arabic cognates and thus a 7th century A.D. semantics derived from Arabic roots are superimposed on works of Moses written in 1460 BCE or David’s Psalms in 1007 BCE or Job and other books. Daniel included. Until this problem is rectified knowledge will not increase as Daniel predicted ..."
