Introduction: You are probably wondering what is AARP? Besides being an insurance agency, this Pastor has used these letters to represent what is yet to take place in the future, according to the Bible. Certainly, one cannot deny the stage is being set. Think about what Daniel the prophet foretold in his description of the future. Question: Have you studied the other predictions in the book of Daniel that have already been fulfilled? Can we be confident that this passage like the others will come to fruition? 
 

1. A- Antichrist Armies!

“But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things….and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. 41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 42He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.” (Dan 11:36-43)

Besides the other four personalities that are mentioned in Daniel Chapter 11, which have already moved on and off the scene, this fifth personality is a description of the Antichrist.

Please notice who he is, what he does, and where he goes. 
 

2. A- Armies of North and South, and East aligned!

“40And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships…. 44But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him:” (Dan 11:40) 

Suggestions of these Kings include Syria, Egypt, along with others. 
 

3. RP- Return in Person, Jesus Christ!

“44But 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. 45And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.” (Dan 11:36-43)

The “he” and “him” is the Antichrist.

It appears as these armies converge in the holy land, the Antichrist gets word and is troubled. Meanwhile, he establishes his reign in Jerusalem, namely in the temple on the Temple Mount. 

However, as Daniel predicts, his agenda will be interrupted by the Return of Jesus Christ. 
 

Conclusion: The suspense of not knowing what is going to happen can bring on anxiety. With our world in chaos and confusion, experiencing the Peace of God is achievable. But that only comes through Full trust in Jesus Christ and His Word!

Therefore, in the light of the current events that are taking place in our world, we have a choice…..worry or trust?

Which are you choosing?
