23And 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.
This is Daniel 8:23-25.
These passages show; not necessarily in chronological order the initial rise of Antichrist (verse 23 and 25) and perhaps a later stage after the first seal event of how he conquers (verse 24). I often like to get into specifics but this is serious meat scripturally and at this point I don't see the necessity of a detailed analysis of this or any other passages as I intend to deliver hundreds of verses in coming days on the subject so that a complete overview is given. I can certainly into such matters if enough interest in the matter is expressed or any questions.
I discussed Hal Lindsey in an earlier post; and no doubt many others in the arena of Bible Prophecy can be mentioned currying favor and interest in the 1980s and 1990s and making at times predictions that were premature and foolhardy; and those that were dogmatic downright dangerous for suicide cults to use to their own demise. Let me make it perfectly clear here that this isn't about me as some mastermind of prophecy. Each of us in the Body of Christ has to have a vision or as scriptures indicate "the people perish". ( Proverbs 29:18). I am praying that some will find this study edifying; for the subject seems to have waning interest among professing believers in recent years but become more relevant to the world at large. We need to take 2 Peter 3:4-6 seriously; and always be ready.
