"A CONTEMPTIBLE CREATURE WILL SUCCEED BUT
WILL NOT BE GIVEN RECOGNITION AS KING…"
(Daniel 11:21 NEB).

(1) THE "CONTEMPTIBLE CREATURE" who seized "the kingdom by dissimulation and intrigue in time of peace" is Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran. With fraudulent alliances and with few people behind him he rose to power and has even roused "himself in all his strength" to "lead a great army against the king of the south" against the demoncratic allies and supporters of Iraq, which has led to the continuing Iran-Iraq war. (Daniel 11:21 25 NEB).

(2) THE ONE WHO RETURNED "TO HIS OWN LAND" from exile with "anger in his heart against the Holy Covenant" is Ayatollah Khomeini, because his satanic will is in opposition to the Holy Covenant of God for a Kingdom of Spirit anointed priests and judges to rule the earth from heaven. (11:28 NEB. Rev 5:9,10). But "ships from the west" are prophesied to sail against him and he will "receive a rebuff." While using Khomeini to "vent his fury against the Holy Covenant", satan has taken "due note of those who have forsaken it." (11:30 NEB). (See (3) below).

(3) "THE ABOMINABLE THING THAT CAUSES DESOLATION" has been explained in great detail in Pages 849, 837, 838, 862 and 840 of the "Little Scroll". (11:31 NEB). The sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses still congregate in sports stadiums in like manner to their rebellious kind of the distant past, forsaking the Holy Covenant. (See Dan 11:30,31 NWT & 1 Maccabees 1:11-15 NEB).

(4) "THIS KING TOO WILL MEET HIS END" was the Shah of Iran who was succeeded by the "contemptible creature" Ayatollah Khomeini, who consequently was not given international recognition as king. The Shah of Iran did "meet his end, yet neither openly nor in battle". He died of cancer while in the exile forced upon him by the "contemptible creature". (11:20 NEB). Much of Daniel's vision for the "time of the end", both in its literal and spiritual fulfilment is now being realized. We are now waiting for:

(A)	The Christ Michael's deliverance of the "sons of your people". (12:1 NWT).
(B)	The coming "time of distress such as has never been since they became a nation". (12:1 NEB).
(C)	The formation of a heavenly administration of Spirit anointed brothers of The Christ *"at the full limit of the appointed times"* to bring all in heaven and on earth into a unity in Christ. (12:3 NEB) (Eph 1:10).
