"THE DESIRE OF WOMEN"

WHAT IS MEANT IN DANIEL 11:37 BY
"THE DESIRE OF WOMEN"? --12/31/15

In my small 1983 book on the "Little Horn of the Book of Daniel," I set forth an interpretation of a phrase in Daniel 11:37 which I later came to regard as a misinterpretation (pages 111, 112).

The verse in Daniel 11:37 refers to the "Vile Person" (Antichrist) of 11:21 as having "no regard for the desire of women" (11:37), and I interpreted this as meaning that the Antichrist would be "homosexual." I no longer believe this is the proper meaning of "the desire of women."

Rather, I understand the phrase to refer to "what women desire." The verse specifies the desire "OF" women, not the desire "FOR" women.

The Biblical definition of the "desire" OF women is set forth in Genesis 3:16: The woman's "desire shall be to her husband," meaning that Biblical women desire a one-on-one MONOGAMOUS married relationship, not a marriage involving multiple wives or multiple husbands.

Polygamy (multiple wives) is practiced by Muslims. Polygamy eliminates Monogamy. A Polygamist has "no regard for the desire of women" for the Monogamous marriage relationship as taught in Genesis 3:16.

This appears to be another characteristic of the Antichrist -- that is, he has no regard for monogamous marriage. This does not prove he is a Muslim, but it is consistent with what Muslims practice.
