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.
