Compare all
20 “There shall arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle.
21 And in his place ashall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue.  
22 With the force of a aflood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken, band also the prince of the covenant.  
23 And after the league is made with him ahe 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,1 spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.  
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.

What Does Daniel 11:22 Mean?



Daniel 11:22-23

Force [arms, KJV] of a flood indicates large numbers of people.

The prince of the covenant at that time would have been the high priest

A league is made with him suggests coming into power through treaties.

God is giving us clues that this end-time conspiracy will not require a huge army to be put into effect. All it will take is strategically placed people—people who are in positions to wield a great deal of authority and who will exercise that authority at just the right time and place. Malachi Martin and others have said that John Dewey almost singlehandedly corrupted the American educational system, along with others like B.F. Skinner, Edward Thorndike, and John Watson. All it took was a few people at the right time and in the right places where they could wield influence over others.

Similarly, the end-time conspiracy will be done legally, and its basic systems are already in operation.
