Daniel Chapter 11 Vs. 37

 The King of the North

Daniel 11:37 "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."

Seven Facts: Antichrist and Deities

1. He will disregard the God of his fathers, the true God (Dan. 11:37; John 5:43).

2. He will reject the gods that women desire.

3. He will reject every idol god (Dan. 11:37).

4. He will exalt himself above every idol god, and even the true God (Dan. 11:36-37; 2Thes. 2:4; Rev. 13:1-18).

5. He will honor the god of forces (Dan. 11:38).

6. He will honor a god whom his fathers knew not (Dan. 11:38).

7. He will honor a strange god (Dan. 11:38-39; see 2Thes. 2:4; Rev. 13:1-18).

The fact that the God of his father’s is mentioned, leads me to believe he is of Hebrew descent. He is either a eunuch, or a homosexual, or just a woman hater. The woman symbolizes the church throughout the Bible. This could, also, mean he does not regard Christianity. He is centered on self. He has no regard for any god.

He proclaims himself god.

2Thes. 2:4 "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

He is not God. He just wants to be God. He is antichrist. He is opposed to Christ.

1Jhn. 2:22 "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son."





Because of the reference to the gods (or God, ’ĕlōhı̂m) of his fathers, some have concluded that this ruler will be a Jew, since the Old Testament frequently uses the phrase “the God of your fathers” to refer to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (e.g., Exo. 3:15). However, since this individual will be the final ruler in the Roman world, the little horn of the fourth beast (Dan. 7:8, 7:24), he must be a Gentile. His showing no regard for the gods of his fathers means that in order to gain absolute power in the religious realm, this king will have no respect for his religious heritage. He will set aside all organized religion (nor will he regard any god) and will set himself up (exalt himself) as the sole object of worship. Instead of depending on gods, he will depend on his own power (received from Satan, Rev. 13:2) and by that power he will demand worship of himself.

The fact that he has no regard for the one desired by women suggests he repudiates the messianic hope of Israel. Perhaps many an Israelite woman had longingly wondered if she would become the mother of the coming Messiah, the nation’s Savior and King.
