The passage states that while the Antichrist will conquer the whole world, three nations will escape his domination: Edom, Moab, and Ammon. All three of these ancient nations currently comprise the single modern kingdom of Jordan. The city of Bozrah in Mount Seir is located in ancient Edom or southern Jordan. Since this area will escape the domination of the Antichrist, it is logical for the Jews to flee to this place. Thus, God will provide a city of refuge outside the Antichrist s domain for the fleeing Remnant. It will be a very defensible city located in Mount Seir Furthermore, as they flee and while they are living there, food and water will be miraculously provided.

9 Slide 25 Isaiah 9:6 7 6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it andtoupholditwithjusticeandrighteousnessfrom then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this. Slide 26 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 7 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Slide 27 1 John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

Inasmuch as Christ did not tell Daniel that the king of the South and the king of the North of verse 40 are different from those of verses two through 35, it would appear that Christ intended them to be understood as being the same. This would mean, then, that in verse 40 the king of the South is still Egypt, and the king of thenorth isstill Syria.

14 Slide 40 Randall Price (1998). Jerusalem in Prophecy ( p. 139). Eugene, OR: harvest House. The two seas referenced here are most likely the Mediterranean Sea to the west and the Dead Sea to the east, since between them is the beautiful Holy Mountain. No other place qualifies as the Holy Mountain but the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The royal pavilion in Daniel 11:45 refers to the military command center of the Antichrist in Jerusalem. Why in Jerusalem? Because apparently he will already be there. It is for this reason that the attack by the other kings will be aimed at Jerusalem (Daniel 11:44) and why the Antichrist will be killed there... Slide 41 Arnold Fruchtenbaum (2003). The Footsteps of the Messiah : a study of the sequence of prophetic events (Rev. ed., p. 245). Tustin, CA: Ariel Ministries. The word for tent refers to a military tent of a general, and the word for palace to a royal tent. It is a royal tent of a military general (the Antichrist) that is set up. It is set up between the seas, meaning between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea. Furthermore, it is at the glorious holy mountain, meaning the Temple Mount, or Mount Moriah or Mount Zion. Slide 42 Daniel 9:27 And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.

17 Slide 49 Purpose To encourage Judah by emphasizing the sovereignty of God during the Babylonian captivity and to teach Judah how to live while outside the land Slide 50 The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace. (NIV) 41 Matt. 24:6- You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. Rev. 6:4-4 And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.

18 Ezek. 38:12- to capture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and goods, who live at the center of the world. Matt. 24: Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 17 [h] Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. 18 [i] Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. Rev. 12:6-6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she *had a place prepared by God, so that there [c] she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days. 43a 1 Tim. 6: But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 43b

19 Josephus defines Cush as Ethiopia, explaining, For of the four sons of Ham, time has not at all hurt the name of Cush; for the Ethiopians, over whom he reigned, are even at this day, both by themselves and by all men in Asia, called Cushites. Josephus, Antiquities, In fact, in Ezekiel 38:5, the New American Standard Bible uses the word Ethiopia as a translation of the Hebrew word Cush. The Ryrie Study Bible indicates that the ancient country of Ethiopia encompassed far more territory than the modern country of Ethiopia, since the ancient country of Ethiopia included the northern Sudan. Charles C. Ryrie, Ryrie Study Bible: New American Standard Bible (Chicago: Moody, 1995), p. 1,021. The Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia states under the entry Cush : The designation, Ethiopia, is misleading for it did not refer to the modern state of Ethiopia...Cush...bordered Egypt on the S[outh],...or modern Sudan. Thus, Cush is most likely modernday Sudan. Philip C. Johnson, Cush, in Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia, ed. Howard F. Vos, Charles F. Pfeiffer, John Rea (Chicago: Moody, 1975), p Gen. 15:16-Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete. Rom. 2:5-But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God

20 44a Dan. 7:23-The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. Rev. 6: I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. 3 When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. 4 And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him. Isa. 9:6-7-For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this. Rom. 5:1-Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. John 14:27-Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

21 Philip. 4: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Matt. 8: When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. 25 And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, Save us, Lord; we are perishing! Gal. 2:20-I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. John 6:15-So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone. John 6:26-Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 2 Thess. 2:3-3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction 2 Thess. 2:7-7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

22 1 John 4:3-3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. Ezek. 5:5-Thus says the Lord GOD, This is Jerusalem; I have set her at the center of the nations, with lands around her. Ezek. 38:12-to capture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and goods, who live at the center of the world. Rev. 9: Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they would kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. Rev. 16:12-12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Ezek. 38:6-Gomer with all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops many peoples with you. Ezek. 38:15-You will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and a mighty army

23 Ezek. 39:2-and I will turn you around, drive you on, take you up from the remotest parts of the north and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 44b 1 Peter 5:8-Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. John 10:10-The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. 45a Unger- Jerusalem is situated fourteen miles west of the Dead Sea, thirty-three miles east of the Mediterranean, and sixty miles south of the Sea Galilee. Unger, Unger s Bible Dictionary, 387, 576. Isa. 11:9-They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea. Rev. 11:8-And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. Rev. 11:2-Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months. 45b

24 Dan. 7:11-Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire. Dan. 9:27-And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate. 2 Thess. 2:8-Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming. Rev. 19:20-And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. Mark 10:45-For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. 45c Isaiah 46:1-4-Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over; Their images are consigned to the beasts and the cattle. The things that you carry are burdensome, A load for the weary

25 beast. 2 They stooped over, they have bowed down together; They could not rescue the burden, But have themselves gone into captivity. 3 Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, You who have been borne by Me from birth And have been carried from the womb; 4 Even to your old age I will be the same, And even to your graying years I will bear you! I have done it, and I will carry you; And I will bear you and I will deliver you. Prov. 24:16-For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, But the wicked stumble in time of calamity. Conclusion Num. 6: The LORD bless you, and keep you; 25 The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; 26 The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.
