πŸ’₯ Bible shows us characteristics of rulers of end times.


Daniel 8  (The kings of the end times)

11   He magnified himself 

23  A king of fierce countenance

24  He shall destroy wonderfully

25  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:

(Hitler was especially good in destroying by peace ... for he came saying peace while he was planning war.)

Daniel 11

3  And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

(He does what he wants to do and pays no attention to his advisors:  Both Adolph Hitler and Donald Trump have ruled this way.)

4  And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

11   he shall be moved with choler, 

choler: having ready disposition to irritation; irascibility; anger; wrath; resentment; bitterness; malice; spitefulness; venom; antipathy; malevolence; virulence; animosity; hostility; poison; bad blood; feeling ill will toward others

(Again both Hitler and Trump have been moved with choler. And so was Richard Nixon.)

12  his heart shall be lifted up and he shall cast down many

15  neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

(His own chosen people shall not be able to withstand his will ... Hitler & Trump)

19 But he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.

Another king arises in his place:  (Daniel 11:20) but in a few days he shall be destroyed.

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.

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.

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.

24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

25 And 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 forecast devices against him.

27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

30  and have indignation against the holy covenant

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.

36  And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

(No woman will control him.)

44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.

45   yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

(Consider Hitler:  in the end none could help him.  HE listened to no one.  He often killed those who objected to what he said or did.  But the end came for him.)

Daniel 12

1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble (The Great Tribulation)such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

10  Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
