 Daniel 11:36-45 is about the Battle of Actium and Herod The Great. Not some guessing game of a future antichrist stealing oil from Modern Day Israel.  Always ask your pastor for a historical/alternate interpretation before considering a future fulfillment. There is a big chance they missed something. 36 “And the king (Herod The Great) shall do as he wills. He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god (or ruler), and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods (or Ruler of Rulers). He shall prosper till the indignation (Herod The Great 's Fury against Baby Jesus and the Jewish babies) is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done.  Note: Indignation can be applied to both God and man. It doesn't always apply to an eschatological wrath about the End Times. 37 He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers (Edomite gods/Edomite rulers), or to the one beloved by women (women wanted to give birth to the Messiah Jesus).

The spoils of the previous war that remained behind were used to rebuild Jerusalem (Obadiah 1:17). The presence of the 144,000 made everything in Jerusalem Holy again. In the Old Covenant, transmitting Holiness was limited to things in the Temple/Tabernacle/offerings. It was easy to defile one's possessions and self. In the New Covenant, transmitting Holiness can be seen in Zechariah 14:16-21. It is now ...

The New Name Post 70AD Revelation 20 does NOT take place in 26AD-66AD or 30AD-70AD because of the wickedness of OLD COVENANT JERUSALEM. The NEW JERUSALEM can only be CALLED the BELOVED City 70AD and later. Zechariah 8:3 English Standard Version 3 Thus says the Lord: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall be CALLED THE FAITHFUL CITY, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. Jeremiah 33:16  English Standard Version  16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the NAME BY WHICH IT WILL BE CALLED: "THE LORD IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." Isaiah 1:26 English Standard Version 26 And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be CALLED THE CITY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE FAITHFUL CITY." Isaiah 62:2-4 English Standard Version 2 The nations shall see your righteousness, and all the...
