    If you mean those parts that are daughters of the great harlet,  perhaps yes. 

    Otherwise, no. 

    In the good light of Faith in Jesus,  being set free from the evil oppression of a false gospel,

    Protestants were like Martin Luther, and somewhat also Like the Israelites in Egypt with Moses, 

    set free .

    There is no good thing "birthed" out of catholicism, ever.

    How do you identify the great harlot?  Do you say she's Rome or the apostate church?

    Been a preacher close to 30 years, was called to Prophecy. I do understand hat many say they hear from the Holy Spirit and don't. But I have been trained to tell the difference. It didn't come overnight. I study hard and when I rely on logic, many times the Holy Spirit will correct my human understanding, when He dos that I am receptive. I find that PRIDE of Belief or just PRIDE, stops many people from hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit. Like this Muslim Angle and the Sep. 23 ASTROLOGY prophecy of Rev. 12, which is NOT OF GOD.....They get something in their craw, and they will not hear anything else.

    I've been asking you for evidence.  Here's a little simple evidence you may need to digest.

    Suicide bombers...

    Revelation 9:16-17  And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

    Revelation 9 has long been associated with the Arabs and Muslims for several reasons.  Locust are figurative of the Arabs in the Old Testament. Both the scorpions and locust have the Mid-East as their natural habitat, especially in Arabia.  In Arabic the word "Arab" and "locust" sound similar.  

    From Vines....
    Jacinth:
    signifies "hyacinthine," perhaps primarily having the color of the hyacinth. Some regard its color as that of the martagon lily, a dusky red.  According to Swete, the word 'jacinth' in Rev 9:17 is, "doubtless meant to describe the blue smoke of a sulphurous flame."

    "...and brimstone:...."  sparks and explosion   This is the only place the word 'brimstone' or Strong's #2306 is used in the NT.  Strong's #2306 comes from 2303 and says, "in its original sense of "flashing."

    Suicide bombers are mentioned in the fourth seal too...
    "to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."

    Islamic terrorism, their form of worship, and goal of world domination, ISIS, foriegn fighters etc. ...
    Habakkuk 1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldean's, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat. They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

    Around the octagonal structure of the Dome of the Rock is a long classical Arabic inscription that says that God has no begotten son, thus denying that Jesus is the Son of God.  

    Inscriptions on the octagonal structure of the Dome are anti-Christ.  They say...

    - There is no God but Allah.
    - God has no son; He begetteth not.
    - God taketh not unto Himself a son.
    - God has no associate.
    - Muhammad is the messenger of God.
    - Allah will preside on Judgment Day.

    I still don't see how even a secular Jew would follow a Muslim.

    You say that because you believe Jews will accept the man of sin and that the anti-Christ empire is a global government with a one world religion.  I believe the anti-Christ empire is limited and the religion of thw two horned beast is Islam as the two horns represent the Shia and Sunni sects of Islam.

    I explain the Iron and the Clay above... It seems you are just ignoring the scriptures I cited, or just twisting them into a Muslim entity. 

    I'm not ignoring or twisting anything.  If I could find evidence opposing a Muslim entity I would accept it.  Look at the word MIXED....

    Quote

    The FOURTH BEAST is Rome and the Little Horn grows out of his Head. Now where do you get a Muslim entity from this? 

    It's the Aramaic word 'arab' which does mean mixed but look at the the Chaldean meaning....it  implies an Arab or Arabia.   

    I get a Muslim entity out of that because there's no evidence the fourth beast is Rome, and every other verse of prophecy mentions nations and people of the Mid-east and Norther Africa.  It's pure speculation and inspired by the unfavorable opinion the Protestants have toward Rome.  Daniel 8 says the little horn emerges out of the fragments of the Grecian Empire, NOT ROME!  Daniel 11 also says that the Perians or todays Iranians would "by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia." That would be todays Arab/Muslim world.  The empires of the king of the north and south mentioned in Daniel 11.  

    Quote

    Are you one of those who say the Fourth Beast was not Rome? Rome was the Greatest of the BC Beasts, it was over Israel when Jesus Christ died.

    I use to believe it WAS Eomw but have changed my mind.  It doesn't matter what the empire was like, only that Rome is NOT found in one verse of prophecy.

    I agree with this....

    Quote

    The Little Horn arises out of his Head, By the Way, he is an Assyrian, (Turkish parents or grandparents) who is born in Greece

    But not this...

    Quote

    and then comes to power via the E.U. BUT...He is not a Muslim.

    Quote

    now give me any scripture that says he s a Muslim...

    I already did.  The word mixed that describes the iron and clay is the word arab.  Arabia is the heartland of Islam.  I can't dump all the beans right now.  Then it wouldn't be any fun.  But I should ask....

    Do you find a European connection here...

    With cunning they conspire against your people;
        they plot against those you cherish.
    “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
        so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”

    With one mind they plot together;
        they form an alliance against you—
    the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
        of Moab and the Hagrites,
    Byblos, Ammon and Amalek,
        Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
    Even Assyria has joined them
        to reinforce Lot’s descendants.[b]

    Do to them as you did to Midian,
        as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
    10 who perished at Endor
        and became like dung on the ground.
    11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
        all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
    12 who said, “Let us take possession
        of the pasturelands of God.”

    Or here...

    This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[b] Meshek and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.Persia, Cush[c] and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets,also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far northwith all its troops—the many nations with you.

    “Son of man, prophesy against Gog and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[a] Meshekand Tubal. I will turn you around and drag you along.  You're mixing Rome with this because you can't get away from what we've all been taught.  There is no Roman connection whatsoever.  The evidence just isn't there.

    Anytime I hear someone say Rome was not one of the Four Great Beasts I just SMH. Its nonsensical to mee. John tells us this if we will just listen. The Seven Headed Beast in Rev. 17, is ALSO Seven Mountains (Greek word oros ones that Arise above the plains) and they are ALSO Seven Kings, FIVE have Fallen (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia and Greece) ONE IS (Rome) and one is YET TO COME (Anti-Christ). The reason God reduced (10/20, 5/10, 1/2) The Seven Kingdoms to Seven Kings was because He wanted us to know the LAST BEAST was going to be a MAN...Not a Kingdom per se. He wanted us to understand !! John right here explains to you that Rome was the BEAST at the time f his writing Revelation....ONE IS. 

    I don't believe what you've just said.  You need to prove Rome is implied somewhere instead of just saying so.

    The Little Horn arises out of Daniel 7 and out of Daniel 8 at the SAME TIME....I have a blog on this, it means he is born in GREECE which is in the European Union and comes to power via the E.U. He is also of Turkish descent. 

    Greece doesn't represent the European union!  It represents the Arab world.  Only Rome can represent Europe but the evidence doesn't suggest Rome.  I can agree he's an Assyrian, possibly Turkish, but NO European connection whatsoever.

    IN truth, it must be this way.

     

    As noted in one of the previous posts,  if a roman catholic, or rcc catholic, or catholic, tells catholics what catholicism is, they get executed, or excommunicated,  or both. (historically that has been the case anyway)

    Catholicism gave birth to Protestantism and even accepted some of their doctrine and created some of their own.  I don't talk bad about any church if I can help it.  None of them are off the hook.

  6. 7 minutes ago, Revelation Man said:

    Daniel 2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.  

    This confused me until the Holy Spirit gave me what I think is the answer, I got it via my understanding of the Seven Headed Beast and the fact that the 8th King is a Demonic entity over the Seven. NOW...Notice the mention of THEY shall mingle themselves with the Seed of Men !! Boom, this can only be Demonic Beings. The Clay spoken of is located where on the Statue? The Base/Feet, and Jesus is considered as what to us?  Our Rock/Foundation. 

    What happens at the end of Daniel 2? The Rock, cut out of the Mountain, SMASHES the Statue, which can not stand because its base is faulty, it is built by men on the principle of Satan, and his ways, remember Stan is the god of this world. All of the Kingdoms Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome and the Anti-Christ/10 toes mixed with clay have built their foundation on that which is of this world, not Jesus Christ. Thus the base is weak and the Statue CAN NOT STAND !! 

    The Holy Spirit is giving us much information in these last days. Amen. 

    Everybody likes to attribute their knowledge of things to the Holy Spirit.  Though I agree to a certain degree, it's much more than that.  We have to put some level of unbiased effort and have a method to figure this out.  With the resources we have available to us today, it really isn't that difficult.

  7. Just now, Yowm said:

    Daniel 9:26 KJV
    [26] And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

    The people of the 4th beast were Romans and from those people the prince that shall come would also be Roman.

    You can tell me that the fourth beast is Rome but where's the evidence?   Daniel 9:26-27 can be interpreted a host of different ways.

  8. 10 minutes ago, Yowm said:

    Why couldn't the 'iron and clay' mixture represent two cultures that don't mix...Europeans and Middle Eastern, just as iron and clay don't mix? After all, the iron had represented the Roman Empire in Daniel.

    The iron doesn't represent the Roman Empire.  The word 'mixed' that describes the iron and clay is the Aramaic word 'arab' which implies Arabia or an Arab. Not Rome.  The iron and clay is said to be divided and intermarried.  The Arabs are among the most intermarried yet divided people in the world.

    Yes, the E.U. has already become a world power, it was thought up and brought into being in Rome. 

    Europe’s economic integration narrative

    From the Treaties of Rome (January 1958) to the Maastricht Treaty (November 1993), Europe moved gradually but unambiguously towards closer economic integration – i.e. an ‘internal market’.

    I don't understand your point at all. Its already here and you are seemingly still looking for it to arise !!

    Unless you've uncovered somthing I'm unaware of, there's no scriptural evidence for Rome.  Every verse of prophecy mentiones nations found in the Mid-East.  Not Europe.  Besides that, the iron and clay is said to be divide and not cleaved to one another, partly strong and partly broken, and intermaried.  That in no way implies Rome or the EU which is united and has good alliances. The iron and clay represent Arabs and the Subbi and Shia sects of Islam.

    Daniel clearly tells us this is a different Beast that arises in the End Times. The Fourth Beast and the LITTLE HORN are two separate Beasts who arise out of the same Land Mass, Europe. Its really pretty simple, just two verses is all that needs to be read to understand this.

    Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth (ROME), which shall be diverse from all kingdoms (Before it arose, Babylon, Persia and Greece), and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

    24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another (Little Horn) shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

    There's no evidence the fourth beast is Rome.  You believe that because you think Daniel 2 depicts the same empires, but it doesn't.  Why would God find it necessary to repeat the same message in two different visions by the same prophet?  

    We do have an indication where the 'little horn' rises.
    Daniel 8:8-9
    Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.  And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.  

    These are fragments of the Grecian Empire including Antiochus, not Rome.  Daniel 11 also tells implies the region of the Middle-East as Persia and Grecia are mentioned, not Rome.

    And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.

    Everything mentioned here omits Rome.  The Grecian Empire wasn't a European Empire.  Daniel 8 also helps us understand Daniel 2.

  10. Angels are messengers.  I happen to believe they relay our prayers to God.  The kingdom of God operates more like a huge corporation than you think. 

    In my experiences 'out of the body," I can tell you that that's how you communicate....by thought.  Besides that, one man said,

    "Satan focused his assaults upon Jesus in the New Testament. In the Temptation he entered into dialogue with Jesus. He knew what Jesus was thinking because of what Jesus said. But other than that, I don’t see any reason to believe that he could read your mind or read mine. Again, that may not necessarily be a divine power. He may be able to do it, but I have no reason to believe that he can."

    I think you miss my point anything mid post etc... becomes dated and imminence of no man knows the day or hour is of a much less degree from what is written...

    Dated by who and what?  Daniel's 70TH week?  The day tribulation BEGINS?  No man knows the DAY OR HOUR, but we may know the week, month or year once things really get going.    

    Quote

        There is another aspect of your comment pertaining to 'tribulation' and rightly dividing the Scriptures thereof:
    There are two types of tribulation in God's Word that which is evil bearing against good ...   and   that which is good bearing against evil ... 
    God clearly and distinctly says through Paul

    1 Thessalonians 1:10 (KJV)

    And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
    This "wrath to come" isn't tribulation.  It's the wrath of God's coming Judgment that occurs after Jesus returns.   

    Quote

    This wrath would be identified by those who were reading Mathews letter 10-15 years after this letter of Paul's!  Matt 24  as also Revelation, years after Matthew, with Revelation being contextualized Rev 4:1  "as such" ... Remembering always God The Father poured out His wrath upon His Son so we the adopted would be healed by that!

    Rev. 4:1 is where John is taken to heaven to be shown things.  That's not a rapture.  

    Pre-tribbers would also tell you that Christians are not appointed to wrath therefore God will remove them from earth beforehand.

    1 Thessalonians 5:9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

    BUT! Take a look at what it is that averts that wrath...SALVATION!  NOT A RAPTURE!

    God's wrath is averted by Christ through repentance and nothing else.

    Pre-tribbers say that Revelation 3:10 is the strongest scriptural support for the pre-trib rapture.

    Revelation 3:10 Because you have kept my command to persevere , I shall also keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole earth, to test those who dwell on earth.

    The context of the passage has nothing to do with a rapture.  The word KEEP doesn't imply a removal from but to be protected through. It implies to take care of NOT a removal from.  The promise is to keep believers out of the trial, but to preserve and protect them through the hour of trial.  There are other examples where God's people are protected through trial and judgment.

    In the following passage we are told to suffer tribulation up to the time when Christ shall come to be glorified in His saints.  This passage alone thoroughly debunks pre-tribulationism.

    That no man should be moved by these afflictions; for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know. So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: [Which is] a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: Seeing [it is] a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

    Quote

    When you put that imminence with Paul's encouragement of bringing hope it is clear that the appearance of the antichrist is dative of the seals that come... and there is no hope given past that but martyrdom...

    Now that's pure speculation. The anti-christ isn't revealed until much later in the book of Revelation, and the seals are meant for our benifit as signs that precede that coming day. Neither will martyrdom be the only option during the later part of tribulation, and I'm not convinced it last 7 yrars. I'm more appt to believe 3 1/2 years. And the kingdom of the man of sin isn't worldwide.

    Hi Fidei Defensor.

    Firstly it's not an "it" that causes all to receive the Mark of the Beast, for it's a "he".....that enforces this mark....."he" is a "man" - the Son of Perdition,...whom God also calls "the False Prophet", and "the man of sin".

    Secondly, the Mark will not be "on" the right hand or "on" the forehead, but "in" the right hand or "in" the forehead.

    Revelation 13:16   And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

    The word "IN" is the word "ON."  It's the word 'epi' and is translated ON more than it's translated 'IN'.  The Greek interlinear translates the word 'epi' as ON in Rev. 13:16.  
    http://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/NTpdf/rev13.pdf

    The ASV...
    ....that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead;
    The Bible in Basic English...
    ....a mark on their right hand or on their brows;
    Common English Bible
    ...to have a mark put on their right hand or on their forehead.
    Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha
    ....to have a mark put on their right hand or on their forehead.
    The Complete Jewish bible.
    ...to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead.
    Holman Christian Standard Bible
    ....to be given a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,
    The Darby transltion.
    ....that they should give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead;
    The ESV.
    ....to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,
    Probably 80+ % of translations use the word ON which is the correct translation.
    http://www.biblestudytools.com/revelation/13-16-compare.html

    I can't imagine how any false prophet of any kind from any religion could impose a mark worldwide where everyone would be required to accept it.  How would one or two men accomplish such a thing?  I believe the mark is limited to the 10/7 alliance of nations of the anti-Chris kingdom.

    Quote

    ...lease consider this....because misinformation can lead us into error.

    Without the Mark, no man can buy or sell, so it's a completely new system this man will enforce.  The microchip technology is inserted under the skin and is ready and waiting to go,...only this man will put the final touches to it, and be the one to "enforce" it upon us when God says it's time.

    The microchip is replacing cash and cards.  Not only will it link us to all departments that hold our records, and keep a GPS tracker inside us,  but the main purpose is to give us access to our bank accounts so we can live day to day.

    If we refuse to become a part of this new system, we starve.  It's as simple as that.

    This is where our spirit has to rule over the flesh, even in times of hunger and this is where we cannot be like Esau who sold his birthright because he was hungry that day.

    Micro-chip stuff comes from an array of prophecy experts who've been teaching that idea for decades.  This mark or the anti-Christ kingdom isn't a global kingdom or system but limited to a 10/7 alliance of nations

    The 'right hand' has religious significance in Islam.  Other than having to carry a Koran in your right hand, this is the mark....

    1.Matthew 24. This gives a detailed account of what will happen to Israel & the nations. The revelation of the Body of Christ is not given till many years later when Jesus, the Head of the body reveals His purpose for them and their end-time details through the Apostle Paul.

    Mathew 24 is directed to all nations, and is full of end-time details every christian should know about. There's no evidence that it's directed solely to Israel. People believe that because that's what they've been taught by the pre-trib camp, which I'm not.

    As they were leaving the temple Mount Jesus said "See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."   After they left the Temple mount and were on the Mount of Olives, the disciples posed this three part question.
    1. When will these things be. (not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.)
    2. What will be the sign of thy coming.
    3. What will be the sign of the end of the world. (consummation of the age)

    In verse 3 Jesus indirectly answered the question by giving us the first literal sign that would signify tribulation and Jesus' return.  It would come shortly AFTER the massive stones of Wailing Wall fall.  Today there IS "one stone upon another," in the Wailing Wall.  The Muslims want nothing more than to destroy it and completely occupy East Jerusalem.  They claim ownership to it.  The Temple Mount is God's "Holy Place" and the site of Herod's and Solomon’s Temple.  Upon it sits an anti-Christ monument called the Dome of the Rock, God's only personally claimed piece of real estate on the planet. This is an abomination because within the inscription that surrounds the octagonal structure of the Dome are the words, "god (Allah) hath no begotten son."

    2.Matthew 24: 31. `And he will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.`

    The `elect` is Israel. `For Jacob my servant`s sake, and Israel my ELECT.` (Is. 45: 4)
     
    ERROR. Believing that the elect in that scripture, is the Body of Christ.

    Other than "just saying so," you provide no evidence for what you believe.

    Pre-tribulationist would tell you that the word 'elect' in Mathew 24:31 refers ONLY to Jews. They do that because in the text, Jesus clearly indicates the gathering occurs AFTER the tribulation. So to make pre-trib fit, they had to remove it entirely from the text, and tell you the chapter is meant only for Jews. Therefore, according to the pre-trib view, since Jesus was speaking only to Jews, the gathering Jesus is talking about occurring at the end of tribulation is meant only for Jews.  They've fabricated "another rapture" to counter that contradiction, and created a host of contradictions.

    We know that the 'elect' always refers to Christians, Jesus, or angels in the New Testament.  The word 'elect' is the same word as 'chosen' and in every verse I looked at it always referred to Christians and a few times to angels, and once or twice to Christ. 
    The word elect is 'eklektos' which means...

    1) picked out, chosen
    a) chosen by God,
    1) to obtain salvation through Christ
    a) Christians are called "chosen or elect" of God
    2) the Messiah in called "elect", as appointed by God to the most exalted office conceivable
    3) choice, select, i.e. the best of its kind or class, excellence preeminent: applied to certain individual Christians

    The word elect, chosen-'eklektos,' is used in the following verses in the NT where it always refers to Christians... whether Jew or gentile! 

    Here are a few examples how the word for 'elect' in Mathew 24 is used elsewhere.

    1 Peter 1:2  Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

    Titus 1:1  Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

    Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

    2 Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

    Check also...

    Matthew 20:16,  John 13:18, 15:16,  Acts 15:22, 15:25,  Romans 8:33, 16:13,  1 Corinthians 1:27-28,  Ephesians 1:4,  Colossians 3:12, James 2:5,  2 Timothy 2:10, Titus 1:1,  1 Peter 1:2, 2:9, 5:13,  Revelation 17:14.

    If God wanted the elect of Mathew 24 to mean Jews, He would have used a different Greek word. Probably this one...

    1443; a Hebræan (i.e. Hebrew) or Jew:--Hebrew.

    "Could the antichrist be a Muslim?"

    No. He must be a renegade Jew, since he will have access to the Temple in Jerusalem, and will also claim to be the "true" Jewish Messiah.  Please note carefully:

    Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. (Daniel 11:37).

    The "God of his fathers" is none other than the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and this man, being a Jew, will blaspheme God and oppose Christ -- hence the word Antichrist (Greek antichristos = opposed to and also in place of Christ).

    He will have access to Jerusalem's Holy Place but there's no Jewish temple there and no temple is prophesied to be rebuilt.

    Abraham is the father of Ishmael and the father of most Arabs.  Daniel 11:37 is full of details and it's easy to miss them.

    John Hagee interprets Daniel 11:37 saying the man of sin will be a homosexual Jew.  Not only because of the 'TEMPLE'  but because of the phrase, "nor the desire of women," which doesn't imply homosexuality but means the man of sin will not considerate of the desires of women, a fundamental belief in Islam.  There are three different words for 'God' between verse 36 and 39 and that must be taken into account to understand the passage.

    The temple is also an issue that needs to be looked at objectively.  The man of sin authenticates himself in the 'temple,' and that's why people believe he's going to be Jewish.  The "holy place" is todays Temple Mount area and the site of Solomon's and Herod's temple.  Upon' this "Holy place" (which is God's only claimed piece of real estate on planet earth) stands an anti-Christ monument called the "Dome of the Rock" and Al'aqsa mosque.  There are reasons why John was instructed not to measure the inner court but only the outer court.  It's occupied by Islam.

    I've looked at 2 Thes. 2:4 in the lexicons as well as the interlinear and this is the way I believe it should be understood.  The word used for 'God' is the same word used for a 'false god or goddess'.  The word used for 'temple' is the same word that's used for a 'heathen temple or shrine'.  I also noticed from the interlinear that the KJV translators dropped the word 'the' in "temple of (the) God."

    This is how the verse should read...

    Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the heathen temple of 'the' god (Allah), shewing himself that he is God.  That temple would be the Dome of the Rock or Al'Aqsa mosque.

    In Daniel 11:36 the word god, gods, and God is the same Hebrew word, yet in the English translation God is capitalized once.  He will promote himself as being greater than all gods including the God of Israel. That's why it's not capitalized even though it's the same word.
     
    And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

    In verse 37 Strong's #H410 "el" isn't used. Strong's #H430 "'elohiym"and H433 "'elowahh" are used instead of #H410.
     
    37 Neither shall he regard the God (Strong's #H430) of his fathers,  It is used once in the entire passage indicating 'Elohiyim. 

    37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

    38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

    39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
