Daniel 11:22-39 PROPHECY
HISTORICAL FULFILLMENT
22 With the force of a flood they shall be
swept away from before him and be broken, and also the prince of the covenant. 23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.
22 Jesus death = prince/covenant broken,
and the destruction of Jerusalem under Roman rule. 23 Rise of the papacy without their own army. 24 The pope a man of peace will rule for a limited time. The 1260 day/yrs. of Daniel 7:25, Rev.12:6,14. The King of the North now enters its Papal, Holy Roman empire phase.
25 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 devise plans against him. 26 Yes, those who eat of the portion of his delicacies shall destroy him; his army shall be swept away, and many shall fall down slain. 27 Both these kings hearts shall be bent on evil, and they shall speak lies at the same table; but it shall not prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time. 28 While returning to his land with great riches, his heart shall be moved against the holy covenant; so he shall do damage and return to his own land.
25-30 Pagan Rome made no such invasion
of Egypt/South after the death of Jesus. So this must be the Papal led Crusades against Islam initiated by Pope Urban II in 1095. The area to the South of Palestine was now controlled by Islam. The King of the South has now entered its Islamic phase. -9 major crusades & many minor ones. -Armies large and casualties high. -High intrigue within the armies. -Both sides lied and broke agreements. 28 The booty from the crusades led to many relics and artifacts being taken to Western Europe.
29 At the appointed time he shall return
and go toward the south; but it shall not be like the former or the latter.
Former= Papal response to the1st woe of
Rev.9:1-12/Dan.11:25-28. Current or appointed time= 2nd woe of Rev.9:13-21/Dan.11:29-39. Latter= 3rd woe Rev.11:15-19&12:12/ Dan11:40-45.
30 For ships from Cyprus (Kittim) shall come
against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage. So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation.
Islamic naval victories in the battles of
Preveza in 1538 & Dierba in 1560, led to decades of Islamic naval control until Pope Pius V organized the Holy League that temporally stopped Islam in one of the largest Middle ages naval battles. Pope Pius V also reasserted the Liturgical Mass, Inquisition, and decrees of the council of Trent. 31 Same themes as Dan.8:11-13 the religious phase of the little horn.

32 Those who do wickedly against the
covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. 33 And those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for many days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering. 34 Now when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help; but many shall join with them by intrigue. 35 And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time.
32-34 This represents the pre-reformation
and reformation, with many of the reformers put to death and burned at the stake.
36 Then the king shall do according to his
own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
36 The counter reformation and the
stronger blasphemous statements of the Authority of the Papacy.
34 After it became safer to be a protestant
many joined from false motives. 35 This suggests that 36 -39 will be a summary of the evils of the 1260 yr. rule of the Papacy and a description of the counter reformation.
37 Speaking of Celibacy Pope as final authority.
38 Describes Cathedrals and the worship of
Mary.
39 The Papal practice of deciding who had
the right to rule a country within the Holy Roman Empire.
