Dan. 7:25, Matt. 24:15, The Assyrian, Anti-Christ!
Question: He shall intend to change times and Laws… (Daniel 7:25). What actually does this mean?
There are multiple opinions here!
The most likely IMO, is that the Anti-Christ (the Assyrian), wishes to be acknowledged as god, and to this end is trying to change the regulations and timings to that end, which, if it was to be successful, would force the Jews to “worship him” (Matt. 24:15); which would also be tantamount to trying to unseat Almighty God, as per. the challenge of Satan originally! See: Satan's Origins; (Comment & Study)
The purpose of Jesus’ 1st. Advent outreach was ”the Jew first”; as is confirmed by the great Apostle Paul; who after the Risen Jesus stopped him on the Damascus road, blinded him, and told him what he must do to regain his sight, became the great advocate for Christ Jesus (after the SCALES had dropped from his eyes), and he became the most prominent advocate for Jesus, instead of the executioner of the hated Christians!
When after Paul’s and the Apostles efforts with the Roman Jews, re. Jesus as the Messiah of Israel was finally rejected; the prophecy of Isa. 6:9–10 was enacted by Paul at Acts 28:25–28; which placed the Jews into the position of “Lo-Ammi” (not My people) which will remain the condition until Zech.12:10!
Since that time, and it is still the case, the Jewish priesthood (Rabbi's), have been teaching Orthodox Jews that their messiah has yet to appear, and that he will be of human origin; not Divine!
After Zech. 12:10; the Jews will be “Salvaged/saved” by Almighty God (Ezek. 39:21–29), and be reinstated by God, ("FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE") into their prophesied position of “Priests unto God”; and their dispersion and punishment for their infidelity and lack of faith, as described in Malachi and elsewhere will be over!
All of the above is almost certainly just prior to “Jacob's Trouble”; and Christ Jesus’ 2nd. Advent!
