The prophecy in Daniel 7:25 states that the little horn power will think to change the times and laws. Some believe that this refers to the papacy changing and combining Ten Commandments and changing the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday which they take credit for.

What do you think Daniel intended by this prophecy?

Reformation history confirms that the understanding which you cited is correct.

Thanks for the feedback. That's what I thought but it came up in another forum and it was unclear everyone felt this way.

You're most welcome. You will in fact see an overwhelming amount of dispensational futurized fantasizing on many of the threads, speculating about an Antichrist who will perform almost any feat that imagination can conjure. But history is decisive.

Right, those fantasy prophecies get a bit ridiculous. They take the obvious symbolism out of the prophecy and try to make it literal.

I don't think Daniel intended anything, it was what Daniel was told by the angel (presumed).

I don't think it has any thing to do with the papacy. I don't know for certain. It may have to do with the when the feasts are observed.

To become the Antichrist, the person has to be anointed the King of israel and confirm the Mt. Sinai covenant for the 7 years as Moses required in Deuteronomy 31:9-13. Which the speech is to be given on the feast of Tabernacles on the schmita cycle. He may move the time of feast of tabernacles.

I think Daniel's prophecy about the little horn is definitely referring to the papacy. Did the papacy ever take credit for changing feasts? I do not believe so. I think this regards the Sabbath which they take credit for changing.

Regarding the antichrist, I believe that is the office of the pope.

There's not one verse in the bible that points to Rome or the Pope. You're all listening to the wrong people.

Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

What this refers to is Islamic prayer times which is currently 5 times a day, and the direction they face while bowing. Instead of bowing toward Mecca, they will bow toward the Dome in East Jerusalem.

I think the first time Islam shows up in prophecy is in Revelation, as the false prophet.

The bible is concerned about the person changing the laws of Islam ? It is the saints, not muslims, the person wears out.

Prophecies about Islam are all over the Old and New Testaments. Terrorism, suicide bombings, foreign fighters, their method of worship, world domination by abomination, they're ticket to paradise,...it's all in there!

Which verses?

If I were to say to antivenom, what would that mean? First a person would have to know what "venom" means and is, right?

Christ - John4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

The messiah is the promised great King of Israel descended from King David to lead the Jews and the rest of the world into the messianic age of peace and safety, among other things.

As Jesus entered Jersualem that last passover week, riding the donkey (Zechariah 9:9) he was hailed by his followers as King, son fo David.

Luke 19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

The scribes and pharisees mocked Jesus when he was on the cross....
Mark 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

The person who becomes the Antichrist, must be anointed the King of Israel, although illegimate, instead of and against the rightful King of Israel, Jesus.

"anti" means instead of and/or against. In the case of anti-venom, it is a medicine that works against the poison of venom.

So by knowing what Christ means in the bible sense, we can know that the person to become the Antichrist must be anointed the King of Israel.

The popes/papacy, nor a muslim can qualify to become the King of israel. The person must be a Jew and his religion Judaism (which includes observing the feasts (the holy days) at the right times) for the Jews to embrace hims as their messiah, King of Israel.

The person when he goes rogue once in the role of being the King of Israel for awhile, may force the Jews not to observe the holy days.

That's right. Muslims chage their times and direction of worship, and Christians are forced to follow. This is all limited to the empire of the beast and NOT worldwide.
Christians don't follow the muslim laws anyway. Christian don't bow to mecca, or the dome of the rock, or any direction.

So what difference does it make to Christians if the person changes what the muslims do ?

Christians aren't bound by ritual. The Jews on the other hand are. It would be meaningful, if the person changed the ritual times of the Jews.

I am not an SDA but I agree with them in this case. I think the papal system is the antichrist system and the office of the pope is the office of antichrist.

Below is some information on it:

The kingdom of the men of sin are Islamic. ALL people under their control and within it will be persecuted and worn out.

That prophecy is referring to the papacy. I believe the papacy created Islam.
