Daniel 11 to read like daily newspaper

Daniel 8: [23] And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

[24] And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
[25] And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

“In Daniel 11, he tells you which one of the four divisions of the Greek Empire the Antichrist is going to come out of.

Daniel 11:4: [4] And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

Here’s going to be the two legs in the image in Daniel 2. Daniel 11:5-6:

[5] And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
[6] And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.

“You move from verse 5 to 6 and you’ve moved from the past into the future. From verse 6 on, we’re no longer in the past. Now, every commentator you read—Scofield, Larkin, Sir Robert Anderson, all of them—they put verse 5 all the way down to verse 21 in the past because verse 21 is where the Antichrist shows up.

“I’m saying to you that between verse 6 and 21 is not the past; it’s things that are going to take place in this period of time right here. If you want to know some of the details of what’s going to be going on here politically and so forth in the Middle East during that period of time, that passage right there is going to read like the daily newspaper.

“There’s a conflict back and forth between the king of the south (the king of Egypt) and the king of the north (king of Syria).

"In verse 15 there’s a king of the north: [15] So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

“When you come down to verse 20 there’s the second king of the north and then when you come to verse 21, that’s the Antichrist:

[20] Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
[21] And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

“So the 70th Week’s going to begin in verse 21. There’s going to be three kings of the north that will be dealt with during this period. Obviously there’s a gap here in prophecy that prophecy fills up with details in the Book of Daniel.”
