We will see later in the passage of Daniel the description of the breaking of the “Holy Covenant” and the
desolation of the sanctuary fortress which is described in Daniel 11. What does the scripture tell us about this
“time of tranquility” in the land during the End Times or latter days? It will help validate the event and its timing.

Daniel 11:24-25 “In a time of tranquility he will enter the richest parts of the realm, and he will
accomplish what his fathers never did, nor his ancestors; he will distribute plunder, booty and
possessions among them, and he will devise his schemes against strongholds, but only for a time.

25 “He will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South with a large army; so the
king of the South will mobilize an extremely large and mighty army for war; but he will not stand,
33
for schemes will be devised against him.”

The statement “but only for a time” is prophetic and it means for 360 days or a year. From very early June 2393,
which is shown in the image below “Day of War” to late May 2394 is short by one calendar month. This matches
Daniel’s scripture prophecy of a year. We know that the sign below relates to war because of the eclipse of Mars.
Mars is the god of war. Mars is named after the ancient Roman god of war, Ares, and symbolizes the red planet's
bloody color for war. This is a time of war by the king of the South in which the Antichrist is revealed.

The Antichrist entering the “richest parts” causes the south to take action. The richest land is Saudi Arabia, due to
its oil. Daniel 11:24 makes the statement he will “accomplish what- his ancestors never did.” The Persian Empire didn’t
include Saudi Arabia. It goes on to say “He will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South.” Therefore,
the South will mobilize an extremely large and powerful army for war. It next states that he will not stand and
schemes will be devised against him. Deception of the Antichrist is matched with that of the king of the South. It
says that he will “devise schemes against him”. What kind of schemes could he come up with during this timeframe?
Because it is a “time of tranquility,” could it be a political battle? These schemes may be hidden attacks by
unknown forces. In the time of Daniel, there weren’t any aircrafts, unmanned vehicles, drones, missiles or flying
submersibles that flew in the skies. What is meant by schemes of war “against strongholds”? It is more likely the
deployment of unique advanced weapons with surprise attacks by unknown forces and unmarked vehicles.
