The Antichrist will promise Israel a seven-year treaty of peace, prosperity, safety, secured borders, and permission for temple worship.
Les Feldick teaches that the prince that shall come in Daniel 9:26-27 confirms this covenant with the nation of Israel for one week, or seven years. He will appear with a charismatic personality and with apparently overwhelming economic and military power, and Israel will feel so secure that she will lay down her defenses and almost think he is the Messiah. At the midpoint of the week, however, he will break the treaty and stop temple worship.
Daniel 9:27 — This is the verse Les uses to identify the Antichrist's seven-year covenant with many and the stopping of temple worship in the middle of the week.
Daniel 9:26 — This verse names the 'prince that shall come' - the one Les identifies as the Antichrist who confirms the covenant.
Daniel 9:26-27 (KJV) says: 'And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.' The Scripture directly states that this prince shall confirm a covenant with many for one week, and that in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. It does not, in these verses, enumerate the specific promises that the prince makes to Israel.
Les Feldick identifies the prince that shall come as the Antichrist, and he interprets the one-week covenant of Daniel 9:27 as a seven-year treaty with the nation of Israel. Les says the Antichrist will come in with 'peace and prosperity on his platform' and with a charismatic personality, so the world will welcome him. He will guarantee Israel's safety and borders, give Israel permission for temple worship, and promise the peace and prosperity Israel has been looking for. Because he appears to have economic and military power behind him from Western Europe, Israel will almost think he is the Messiah. Les also teaches that the peace agreement will involve Israel's neighbors as well, since the whole Middle East is a powder keg. For the first three and a half years, Israel will enjoy his protection, but at the midpoint he will turn on them, cause the abomination of desolation, and force Israel to worship him as their Messiah. Les adds that this is one reason he thinks the Antichrist will be an apostate Jew.
Les teaches that the Antichrist will come on the scene with political maneuvering and a charismatic character, not with military power, and the world will think he is the answer to all its dilemmas [Clip 0]. He will appear to have economic and military power behind him from Western Europe, and he will be benevolent [Clip 3]. Because he promises everything Israel is dreaming of - peace, prosperity, secure borders, and temple worship - Israel will be so enraptured with him that she will almost think he is the Messiah [Clip 3][Clip 7]. Israel will feel so secure that she will lay down her defenses when the treaty is signed [Clip 1].
Les reads the promises from Daniel 9:27 and describes the treaty as a covenant with the nation of Israel [Clip 1][Clip 2][Clip 4]. The Antichrist will guarantee Israel's safety and borders against her enemies, promise peace and prosperity, and give Israel permission for temple worship and sacrifices [Clip 3][Clip 7]. Les also says the peace agreement will involve Israel and her neighbors, because the whole Middle East is the powder keg [Clip 6]. The signing of the treaty kicks God's prophetic time clock back into gear [Clip 2].
Daniel 9:26 identifies 'the prince that shall come.' Daniel 9:27 (KJV) says, 'And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.' The text gives the length of the covenant and the midpoint action, but it does not list a set of promises. The specific promises of peace, prosperity, guaranteed borders, and temple worship are Les Feldick's teaching from this passage [Clip 1][Clip 4][Clip 6][Clip 7].
Les teaches that for the first three and a half years Israel will enjoy the protection of the Antichrist, and they will begin to wonder if he is the real Messiah [Clip 5]. At the midpoint of the seven years, however, he will turn on the nation. Daniel 9:27 says he will cause the sacrifice and oblation to stop, and Les explains this as the Antichrist going into the temple, causing the abomination, and forcing Israel to worship him as their Messiah [Clip 5][Clip 6].
The Antichrist's Political Charisma
Les teaches that the Antichrist comes on the scene with political maneuvering and a charismatic character, not military power, and the world sees him as the answer to its dilemmas.
The Seven-Year Covenant
Les teaches that the Antichrist, the prince that shall come, will confirm or sign a covenant with many Jews for one week, and Israel will lay down her defenses when it is signed.
The Prophetic Time Clock
Les explains that when the Antichrist signs the seven-year treaty with Israel, God's final seven-year prophetic time clock kicks back into gear after being stopped during the church age.
Guarantees to Israel
Les says the Antichrist will guarantee Israel's safety and borders, give permission for temple worship, and appear benevolent, so Israel will almost think he is the Messiah.
Peace and Prosperity Platform
Les says the Antichrist comes in with peace and prosperity on his platform and with a charismatic personality, and he will sign a seven-year treaty with the nation of Israel.
From Protection to Betrayal
For the first three and a half years, Israel will enjoy the Antichrist's protection and may wonder if he is the real Messiah; at the midpoint he turns and forces worship of himself.
A Wider Middle East Peace
Les teaches that the peace agreement is with Israel and her neighbors, and that in the middle of the week he causes the sacrifice and oblation to stop.
Everything Israel Dreams Of
Les says the Antichrist will promise the peace and prosperity Israel has been looking for, guarantee borders against enemies, and give permission for Temple worship - everything Israel is dreaming of.
Daniel 9:26: And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
This verse identifies the 'prince that shall come,' the individual Les identifies as the Antichrist, after Messiah is cut off.
Daniel 9:27: And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
This is the covenant passage Les uses to teach that the Antichrist confirms a seven-year treaty and later stops temple worship.
Yes, according to Les Feldick. He says the Antichrist comes in with 'peace and prosperity on his platform' and promises Israel everything they are dreaming of, including guaranteed borders and permission for temple worship. Israel will be so enraptured that they will almost think he is the Messiah.
Daniel 9:27 says the prince that shall come shall confirm the covenant with many for one week and that in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease. The verse does not list specific terms; the details of peace, prosperity, safety, borders, and temple worship come from Les Feldick's teaching on this passage.
At the midpoint of the seven-year treaty, after the first three and a half years of protection. Les teaches that the Antichrist will go into the temple, cause the abomination of desolation, stop the sacrifice and oblation, and force Israel to worship him as their Messiah.
