Daniel 11
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Those who do wickedly against the covenant are, like the apostate jews who resided in israel, residing in the seats of authority in "evangelical" churches and "protestantism". The ecumenical spirit will be hastened through the commonly suffered martyrdom at the hand of islam and the looming threat of a revived quasi-communist Russia. Americans are even now corrupted by pretense morality and newly found bonds with catholicism and orthodoxy. The incentive for flattery will be the fightback against islam, the new crusades. Those who participate will be crowned and exalted by the pope. The true christians will reject the new apostate system and will move to other countries, probably thus far unaffected by the gospel. Additionally, they will begin to expose their reprobate brethren and suffer for it.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
The church will not be silent till the end, however the new cathorthodox world empire will be unrestrained in its slaughter of heretics. The inquisition will return for the last time. (Dan 7:21; 11:36; Rev 13:7). There will be no magical rapture, but the blood of the two witnesses(actually the worldwide genocide of christians) will prove to be the last drop in the cup of wrath of God to destroy antichrist. (Rev 16~~~). There will be a grand revival after the destruction of antichrist and his whore.
