- Title
2. Religious-Political Papacy and Islamic Power in Daniel 11.
- Authors
Gane, Roy E.
- Abstract
Close reading of Daniel 11,2-12 within its context in the Book of Daniel reveals that this discourse unit predicts a succession of human political powers that affect the lives of God's loyal people from the time of Daniel to the commencement of God's eternal kingdom. If Daniel 11,25-30 predicts the Crusades fought by the religious-political papacy, with its allies, as the king of the north, the king of the south here is religious-political Islamic power. Therefore, the king of the south in verses 40-43 is also Islamic power because it has never been superseded, just as the papacy has continued. By tracing the cosmic conflict predicted in Daniel 11, we can recognize the climactic period in which we are living and have assurance that God will soon deliver us and fulfill the remainder of His promises.
