In these last days, a world leader will confirm a seven year covenant between Israel and her Gentile neighbors (Dan. 9:27). During the first half of the 70th week he will be supported by ten nations (Rev. 17:12-13). Daniel calls this man, the Little Horn (Dan. 7:8). The first three nations he subdues may represent a large Muslim population (Ezek. 38:5-7). Seven more nations will give their power to him by the middle of the 70th week (Rev. 17:12, Dan. 11:43). The scriptures don't say where this covenant will be confirmed between Israel and the Antichrist. After the Little Horn physically subdues three Muslim nations, Jesus will open the 1st seal of the heavenly scroll. Satan is coming down to conquer the world (Rev. 6:2). His evil plan will begin after the Little Horn confirms a covenant between Israel and her enemies (Dan.7:20-25; 9:27). The nations will rejoice over this world leader bringing peace to the Middle East. It will be a different story for Christians watching and praying (Rev. 3:3). When this covenant is signed the saints will know the nationality of the Beast, his country, and the nations (horns) supporting him (Rev. 17:9-13). Amazingly enough, this covenant will begin the seven year countdown to the physical return of the Deliverer (Dan. 9:24-27, Rom. 11:25-27, Rev. 10:1-7).
