ANTICHRIST MAKE COVENANT?

MYTH: The antichrist (prince) will confirm the covenant to be made with  Israel for a seven year period.

SCRIPTURE states a vile person will break the prince who
will confirm the covenant.  Since the prince will be broken , he will be under the power and authority of the vile person. The prince will not be the antichrist.

(Note: this vile person will be a king -- not a prince-- and
 “shall ... magnify himself above every god ... “ as antichrist.)

The Scripture tells of a prince who will  confirm the covenant  

for “... one week ...” (seven years) and: “... in the midst of the week ...” he “... shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease ... overspreading of abominations... make desolate... until the consummation ...”.

Because this prince will confirm and then make some things “cease”, he is assumed to be antichrist. This is described in the following verses:

Daniel 9:26
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be
cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince
that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the
end of the war desolations are determined.

Daniel 9:27
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one
week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the
sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for overspreading
of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the
consummation, and that determined shall be poured
upon the desolate.

However, Scripture goes on to tell about a vile person who will “stand up” (later identified as a king) and who will break the prince of the covenant.

Daniel 11:21
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to
whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom:
but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom
by flatteries.

Daniel 11:22
And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown
from before him, and shall be broken ; yea, also the
prince of the covenant.
 

So, now the prince of the covenant has been broken by the vile person.
But, the vile person makes a deal -- a ”league” with the prince (and they, then, work together).

Daniel 11:23
And after the league made with him he shall work
deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become
strong with a small people.
 

The remaining twenty-two verses of Daniel 11 describe the activities of the vile person and include statements about him such as: ... his heart shall be against the holy covenant ... (vs 28) ... on his part ... pollute the sanctuary ... take away the daily sacrifice ... place the abomination that maketh desolate.  (vs 31) ... shall he corrupt ...  (vs 32) ... the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself ... magnify himself above every god ... speak ... against the God of gods ... (vs 36) Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers ... nor regard any god ... he shall magnify himself above all.  (vs 37) ... shall he honour the God of forces ... (vs 38) ... shall he do ... with a strange god ... (vs 39) ... he shall enter ... countries ... overflow and pass over.  (vs 40) He shall enter also into the glorious land ...  (vs 41) ... he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious mountain ... he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.  (vs 45)

All of the above Scripture excerpts refer to that King who breaks the prince of the covenant.  This king IS antichrist -- the prince of the covenant IS NOT antichrist!!

NOTE:  It’s interesting that these two are in “league” with each other.
At the end-times, there will be two -- the false prophet and the one who magnifies himself above all gods.  [the color coding of this last statement is a guess!!??]
