yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
Dan_11:35 …even
to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

at the time of the end…

thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the

At the time of the
end…. The end of the world… To the end…
There wasn't always
going to be an end of the world. When sin entered the world the need came for
this world to end because it was handed over to Satan.
So many verses, so
much knowledge that the END would occur and we need to comprehend this fact,
and live with this knowledge as a reality.
THERE WILL BE A TIME
WHEN PEOPLE WILL BE ALIVE AS EVERY LAST PROPHECY UNFOLDS.
Let's look at the
following yet again--
Dan 11:40 And
at the time of the end ….
shall the king of
the south…
push at him:
and the king of the
north …
shall come against
him like a whirlwind
with chariots, and
with horsemen, and with many ships
and he shall enter
into the countries,
and shall overflow
and pass over.
Prophetic king- a
ruler whether it is king, pharaoh, prime minister, president, queen, prince,
etc.
Prophetic push- any
contrary action- physical or verbal warring in any way, hardships given.
Prophetic come up
against- once more this is strong contrary actions being used.
Prophetic whirlwind-
fast, quick.
Prophetic chariots,
horsemen, ships- means of warring.
Prophetic countries-
territories of others.
Prophetic overflow
and pass over- influences infiltrating other territories not ruled already.
Let me emphasize
right now.. I'M NOT A BIBLICAL SCHOLAR in any way shape or form, my
speculations are merely that and nothing more. Could I be way off the mark, by
the grace of God I hope not, but the possibility exists.
Throughout this prophecy in Daniel 11 the interpretations are like the following-- please take the time to read this wordy bit (a lot of these studies are wordy but hey, it is what it is)…. Go to the link after this excerpt to find out where this comes from etc., please.

Daniel 11
p 247 --
VERSE 1. Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm
and to strengthen him. 2. And now will I show 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.
We now
enter upon a prophecy of future events, clothed not in figures and symbols, as
in the visions of chapters 2, 7, and 8, but given mostly in plain language.
Many of the signal events of the world's history, from the days of Daniel to
the end of the world, are here brought to view. This prophecy, says Bishop
Newton, may not improperly be said to be a comment and explanation of the
vision of chapter 8; a statement showing how clearly he perceived the
connection between that vision and the remainder of the book.
The angel,
after stating that he stood, in the first year of Darius, to confirm and
strengthen him, turns his attention to the future. Three kings shall yet stand
up in Persia. To stand up means to reign; three kings were to reign in Persia,
referring, doubtless, to the immediate successors of Cyrus.
p 248 --
These were, (1) Cambyses, son of Cyrus;
(2) Smerdis, an impostor; (3)
Darius Hystaspes.
The fourth
shall be far richer than they all. The fourth king from Cyrus was Xerxes, more
famous for his riches than his generalship, and conspicuous in history for the
magnificent campaign he organized against Grecia, and his utter failure in that
enterprise. He was to stir up all against the realm of Grecia. Never before had
there been such a levy of men for warlike purposes; never has there been since.
His army, according to Herodotus, who lived in that age, consisted of five
million two hundred and eighty-three thousand two hundred and twenty men
(5,283,220). And not content with stirring up the East alone, he enlisted the
Carthaginians of the West in his service, who took the field with an additional
army of three hundred thousand men, raising his entire force to the almost
fabulous number of over five million and a half. As Xerxes looked over that
vast concourse, he is said to have wept at the thought that in a hundred years
from that time not one of all those men would be left alive.
VERSE 3.
And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do
according to his will. 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.
The facts
stated in these verses plainly point to Alexander, and the division of his
empire. (See on chapter 8:8.) Xerxes was the last Persian king who invaded
Grecia; and the prophecy passes over the nine successors of Xerxes in the
Persian empire, and next introduces Alexander the Great. Having overthrown the
Persian empire, Alexander "became absolate lord of that empire, in the
utmost extent in which it was ever possessed by any of the Persian kings."
- Prideaux, Vol. 1, p. 477. His dominion was great, including "the greater
portion of the then known habitable world;" and he did according to his
will. His will led him, B.C. 323, into a drunken debauch, as the result of
which he died as the fool dieth; and his vainglorious and ambitious projects
went into
p 249 --
sudden, total, and everlasting eclipse. The kingdom was divided, but not for
his posterity; it was plucked up for others besides those. Within a few years
after his death, all his posterity had fallen victims to the jealousy and
ambition of his leading generals. Not one of the race of Alexander was left to
breathe upon the earth. So short is the transit from the highest pinnacle of
earthly glory to the lowest depths of oblivion and death. The kingdom was rent
into four divisions, and taken possession of by Alexander's four ablest, or
perhaps most ambitious and unprincipled generals, - Cassander, Lysimachus,
Seleucus, and Ptolemy.
So there we have a
snippet of prophecy and its fulfilment in history.
Daniel 11:3- starts
out with Alexander the Great in prophecy.
With this in mind it
seems as though all the various figures mentioned throughout the entire 11th
chapter should have names, yes? So if Alexander the Great is a 'mighty king'
then in verse 40…
Dan 11:40 And
at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of
the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with
horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall
overflow and pass over.
…the king of the
south should have a name, right? And the king of the north? And we would have
to know the HIM too.
Well, a careful
analysis of far greater minds than mine have determined who the 'him' is, but
not who that king of the south and north are.
This is prophecy unfilled, or maybe fulfilled without our comprehension.
More on ALL this
tomorrow by the GRACE OF THE LORD, through HIS WILL now and forever!!!!!!!
